Eggplant is antiseptic, diuretic and hemostatic. It helps clear toxic heat from the body and improves blood circulation. Eggplant is used to relieve colitis, constipation, bleeding hemorrhoids, pain, hypertension, stomach ulcers, swellings, and tumors. It contains potassium, bioflavonoids, and is about 90%water. Eggplant contains antioxidant compounds called monoterpenes that are believed to offer protection against cancer and heart disease, however, there is conflicting evidence, as a Japanese study showed it to be somewhat mutagenic, in the test tube.
Eggplant is cooling with a sweet flavor. It contains a substance known as glycoalkaloids that is used topically in medicine to treat skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma. A study done at University of Texas showed that eggplant appears to impede blood cholesterol levels from rising, after the consumption of fatty foods.
Eggplant has a meaty like flavor, excellent in many vegetarian dishes. Careful, it's spongy texture, causes it to absorb a lot of oil in any recipe (in one experiment, fried eggplant absorbed four times more oil than French fried potatoes). Eggplants are popular in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Indian, Creole, Greek and French recipes. Most people are familiar with how to cook it, but it can also be used raw, after marinating it in a bit of Nama Shoyu tamari, lemon juice and olive oil to be pureed into dips" and even "noodle" substitutes.
Common is the purple variety, though it also comes in red, white or yellow. Look for firm eggplants that are heavy for their size. Commercial eggplants may be coated with wax to slow moisture loss. Many people slice eggplant, cover it with a sprinkling of salt, place a weighted plate on top, Wait thirty minutes, then rinse it off to remove any bitter flavor. This is optional however, as good eggplants are not bitter.
Some individuals with arthritis find that abstaining from eggplant and other nightshades reduces their symptoms. They contain solanine, which in large amounts inhibits calcium absorption. Use eggplant only small amounts during pregnancy. In some cultures, folklore believes excessive use can be a factor in miscarriages. In Nigeria, eggplant is used as a contraceptive agent.

Lake Forest, IL — Brunswick Corp.'s fitness segment had an 8 percent increase in sales due to a strong demand for commercial products in the third quarter of this year compared to last year, providing Brunswick with at least one bright spot in an otherwise dismal third quarter, according to financials released by the company last month. The fitness segment is comprised of the Life Fitness division, which includes Life Fitness, Hammer Strength and ParaBody. Brunswick has had difficulties in its marine division.
The fitness segment had $161.6 million in sales for the quarter, up from $150.2 million in the year-ago quarter.
"Commercial sales, which account for almost 90 percent of Life Fitness' sales, were the key driver behind this growth as a number of new products, such as the Elevation series of cardio products as well as the Signature series of strength equipment, have proven popular with health club managers," Brunswick Chairman and CEO Dustan E. McCoy said in a conference call with analysts. "We also continue to make further inroads with educational institutions and the hospitality industry."
Sales of consumer fitness products in the United States decreased, McCoy said.
Operating earnings for the quarter totaled $10.3 million, down from $11.8 million for third quarter 2007, and operating margins were 6.4 percent versus 7.9 percent a year ago. The lower operating earnings reflected higher material prices and increased freight costs due to fuel surcharges from suppliers, McCoy said.
"These higher costs were partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses, as Life Fitness continues efforts to focus on reducing costs and improving productivity," he said.
Brunswick had a net loss of $591.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. Total sales were down 22 percent versus a year ago to approximately $1 billion, driven by a 28 percent drop in marine sales. The company had cash on hand of $343 million at quarter's end. Brunswick has had layoffs in its marine division.

Mike Straubel enters his 31st season leading the Crusader men's and women's cross country teams in 2017. Straubel is also an assistant coach on the track and field staff, working with Valpo distance runners.
A long-time fixture at Valparaiso University, Straubel has been teaching on campus since 1985 and became the head coach of the cross country program in 1987.
Straubel has aided the development of a number of standout individuals during his time with the program. Most recently, he oversaw the success of Liz (Bloy) Owen during her four years running on the cross country and track and field teams. Owen led the team at the Horizon League Championships (23:08.7) and at the NCAA Regional meet (22:52.8) during her senior cross country season. She earned a variety of track and field honors under Straubel's guidance during her career, being named the Horizon League Athlete of the Year (2016 outdoor) and the Outstanding Running Performer at the Horizon League Championships twice (2016 indoor, 2017 indoor). She won the one mile run (2016 indoor, 2017 indoor) and the 1500m run (2016 outdoor, 2017 outdoor) twice each.
Another recent standout was Jessica Richardson, who earned Horizon League First Team All-League recognition three times (2012, 2013, 2014) while under Straubel's tutelage.
Straubel led the Crusaders into the Horizon League in 2007 and guided both the men's and women's squads to mid-pack finishes in their debuts at the competitive league championships. Both squads boasted two All-League honorees, and Laura Rolf captured the individual championship on the women's side.
Those continued the recent success of the Crusader cross country program. In 2006, their last year competing in the Mid-Continent Conference, Straubel guided both the men's and women's sides to their respective best finishes in the Mid-Continent Conference. Straubel led the Crusader men to a fourth-place finish, matching the best placement in team history, while the women finished second after three consecutive third-place finishes. The two teams combined to earn seven All-Conference honors, the most in a single season in Straubel's career.
The Crusader mentor has seen his runners earn 43 All-League awards, 10 All-Indiana honors, five All-Region commendations, two Newcomer of the Year awards, and two Runner of the Year awards. Straubel has also coached two Indiana State Champions.
Three Crusaders have stood out individually during Straubel's tenure, rewriting the Valpo record books and representing the Crusaders on a regional and national stage. Collette Liss, who donned the Valpo uniform from 1996-99, is a member of the Valpo Athletics Hall of Fame and was a two-time All-Region honoree, Mid-Con Individual Champion and named the conference's Runner of the Year. Aaron Crague, who ran for the Crusaders from 1998-2001 and is also a Valpo Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, earned First Team All-Conference honors three times under Straubel's guidance and set Valpo's 8K and 10K records.
Most recently, Straubel has coached Rolf as she has dominated the cross country scene for the Crusaders. In her first three seasons, she has earned All-Region honors all three years and has posted top-five finishes in 12 of her 20 career races. The three-time First Team All-League honoree captured the Horizon League championship last year and earned the league's Athlete of the Year honor, joining Liss as the only runners in program history to receive their league's most prestigious honor.
A full-time professor in Valpo's Law School, Straubel took three students from his Valparaiso Sports Law Clinic to Torino, Italy for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. In Torino, Straubel and his staff provided free advice to any athletes in need of some type of legal support.
An avid runner, Straubel ran collegiately at both Marquette University and McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. While in Canada, he was a member of Quebec's national championship qualifying 4x800 relay team which won a Provincial Championship.
Straubel became a Masters All-American in the mile in 1998 and in the 3,000m in 2000. In 1991, he took third place in the 3,000m steeplechase at the Track Athletics Congress (TAC) National Masters Championships.
Also an assistant coach with the Crusader track and field team, Straubel earned his bachelor's degree in 1979 from Western Michigan, picked up his J.D. from the Marquette Law School in 1982 and earned a LL.M. degree from McGill in 1987.

If Seattle wants to draft a quarterback who can backup Wilson at the #2 spot, either this year or next, which QB do you like best given their current draft stock?
Note: I've used CBSSports.com's grading for each prospect. Three other QBs received 1st/2nd round grades (Glennon, Nassib, & Wilson), but for this poll I'm assuming they go before our #56 pick.

We're all familiar with four constant columns that should be in every table.
Those are: CreatedOn, CreatedBy, LastUpdatedOn, LastUpdatedBy or any other names you have for them. :))
But you get my point. Recently i'm leaning into a direction that there should be 2 more columns
added to those four. Those are CreatedOnTZOffset and LastUpdatedOnTZOffset where TZOffset stands Time Zone Offset.
Some may ask why do we need this? Well let's say you have an app that is accesed
from all over the world and you're not just displying data to users. They can
also add and update stuff. Time Zone information gives you a better
understanding when and from where your users are accessing data and any reports
that you might want also become easier. There are probably other uses too,
but that's on a case by case basis. :))
Usually those four original columns are populated either with Sql's GetDate() on the SQL server or
Now() in VBscript and DateTime.Now in C# in the "Front End app".
So what's the problem with that, you might ask? There isn't one.
It's all great, but GetDate() gives you SQL Servers local time based on it's regional settings.
So that's why we have Now() in the front end, right? Wrong!
What is front end app acctually?
For WinForms apps that's true it gives the local date of the machine on which the WinForms app is running.
For Web it's another story. Your front end is acctualy a web browser.
And Now() is used on the web server running IIS so Now() will return web server's local time.
1. SQL Server is in Slovenia
2. Web Server is in Russia
3. User browsing is in Australia.
Those are 3 different Timezones and with Now() and GetDate() only 1st or 2nd is coverd.
So, how to fix this?
Well SQL Server has this handy little function called GetUTCDate() that returns GMT = Greenwich Mean Time.
Getting client's timezone offset is also preety simple.
JavaScript has another handy little function called getTimezoneOffset().
It returns the difference between local time and GMT in minutes.
However this value is not a constant, because of the practice of using Daylight Saving Time,
but that isn't a huge problem if you ask me.
So all you need is to pass the TimeZone Offset in minutes to your sproc and use SQL Server's GetUTCDate().
I usually pass the timezone offset in a hidden field, but you could also pass it in the querystring,
save it in a cookie or in the session.
So having timezone info of your users can be a very helpfull thing. Use it! :)))

hemp, common name for a tall annual herb ( Cannabis sativa ) of the family Cannabinaceae, native to Asia but now widespread because of its formerly large-scale cultivation for the bast fiber (also called hemp) and for the drugs it yields. Known and cultivated in ancient China, the plant was introduced into Europe before the Christian era. In the United States it was cultivated chiefly in the Midwest. The fiber, retted from the stem, was one of the most important for various kinds of cordage it was also used in making paper, cloth (canvas and other kinds), oakum for calking ships, and other products. The male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. The chemical derived from the female flowering tops is used medicinally the tops are also the source of marijuana and hashish . Hemp seed is used as bird food, and the oil from the seeds is used in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and soap and in cooking. The dried leaves are used in Asia for a beverage. The word hemp is used in combination for several other kinds of fiber plants, notably Manila hemp and sisal hemp . The true hemp plant is related to the hop , which is used in making beer. Hemp is classified in the division Magnoliophyta , class Magnoliopsida, order Urticales, family Cannabinaceae.

(202) 663-4900
Since the September 11 terrorist attacks, we have seen compassion and respect for people of all faiths, races, and national and ethnic origins in workplaces throughout our country. One month after the attacks, President Bush noted with gratitude this "outpouring of compassion for people within our own country," recognizing that individuals of many religions stand side-by-side in America.
Nonetheless, we continue to receive reports of incidents of harassment, discrimination, and violence in the workplace against individuals who are, or are perceived to be, Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, or Sikh. When people are singled out for unfair treatment or are harassed based on their national origin, immigration status, ethnicity, or religious affiliation, practices, or manner of dress, we must act quickly to address and redress these acts of discrimination.
As leaders within the principal federal agencies responsible for enforcing the laws against discrimination in employment, we are issuing this joint statement to reaffirm the federal government's commitment to the civil rights of all working people in our fight against terrorism. These agencies - the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs of the Department of Labor - together continue to intensify their efforts to combat discrimination based on religion, ethnicity, national origin, or immigration status in the workplace.
To that end, we are encouraging victims to come forward so that we can promptly investigate their complaints. The aftermath of September 11 has demonstrated the need for our agencies to make extensive and wide-ranging efforts to provide public education, information, and guidance. We have instructed those who work in our agencies to take prompt and appropriate action in response to complaints of employment discrimination relating to the events of September 11 and the ongoing fight against terrorism. We are committed to taking all necessary action to protect the civil rights of all of our working people.
The first step is preventing discrimination before it occurs. Many employers, labor organizations, and employee groups have taken swift action already. We commend those who have sent out the message that discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated in their workplaces, and urge all employers to communicate and enforce workplace policies against harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. Employers also should encourage employees to report any improper conduct through internal complaint mechanisms or to appropriate federal agencies. Additionally, we ask those employers who have been charged with discrimination to resolve these matters voluntarily in cooperation with our agencies.
These efforts are of vital importance to individuals of all races, ethnicities, national origins, and religions in workplaces throughout the country. In the President's words, that which "makes our nation so strong and that will ultimately defeat terrorist activity is our willingness to tolerate people of different faiths, different opinions, different colors, within the fabric of our society." It is this diversity and inclusiveness that strengthens our country and guarantees our future prosperity. Together we can make our workplaces models of respect and understanding. And in this way we do our part to defeat those forces that seek to undermine the American way of life.
Individuals who wish to file a complaint of employment discrimination should call the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission at 1-800-669-4000 (allegations involving employers of fifteen or more employees); the Department of Justice's Office of Special Counsel Worker Hotline at 1-800-255-7688 (national origin allegations against employers with four to fourteen employees and citizenship or immigration status allegations against all employers); or the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs at 1-888-376-3227(allegations against federal government contractors).

Depressed People More Apt to Get Opioids for Pain
People who suffer from depression are much more likely to be prescribed powerful opioid painkillers like morphine and codeine and to stay on the drugs long-term, new research shows.
What's more, they are often prescribed these more potent medications at higher doses, Dr. Jennifer Brennan Braden of the University of Washington in Seattle and her colleagues found.
Because depressed people may also be at greater risk of abusing or becoming addicted to these painkillers, the researchers say more research is needed to understand the safety of prescribing opioids in depressed patients, and whether it's effective.
Opioids are increasingly being prescribed to treat chronic pain that is not related to cancer. To investigate patterns in prescribing these drugs, the researchers looked at records from two large health plans for 1997 through 2005.
Most commonly, people were prescribed opioids to treat back pain, pain in the arms or legs, or pain from arthritis. Depressed people were two to four times more likely to be prescribed opioids for non-cancer pain, Braden and her team found.
They were also prescribed higher daily doses and more days' supply.
For example, in 2005, 25 percent of depressed patients in one health plan had a long-term opioid prescription, compared to 9 percent of non-depressed patients in the same plan.
The average dose for depressed patients in the same plan was 54 milligrams, compared to 45 milligrams for non-depressed patients; in the other plan, average doses were 65 milligrams for depressed patients and 48 milligrams for non-depressed patients.
The researchers also found that depressed individuals were more likely to be prescribed longer-acting drugs, and more likely to also have been taking sedative-hypnotics (sleeping pills and tranquilizers like Valium and Ativan). Combining sedative-hypnotics with opioids, especially if they are used along with alcohol or other sedatives, increases the risk of overdose, Braden and her team note.
Depressed patients may be more likely to request opioids, the researchers suggest, while doctors may be more likely to prescribe the drugs "based on observed or reported distress" seen in a person with depression. It's also possible, Braden and her colleagues add, that depressed people may have higher levels of pain that don't respond well to standard treatments.
While the findings can't show if the prescribing patterns they observed were appropriate, the researchers say individuals with depression "represent a potentially high-risk group for adverse outcomes of opioid use."

Resume Books are back for spring! Spring Semester Resume Books are now available for "opt-in" for all 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls and Recent Graduates (2011 class). Remember, even if you opted in last semester, you must resubmit your resume to the books of your choices for the Spring Semester. We will notify employers that resume books are available on January 30, 2012. You may opt-in to a resume book at any time; however, as we receive most the most requests for resume books immediately after notifying employers, we encourage you to submit your resume before this date.
As a reminder, a Resume Book is exactly what it sounds like, a collection of resumes that can be distributed to employers on request. Our resume books will collect the resumes of students and recent graduates in a particular class (e.g. 2Ls) with similar interests (e.g. immigration law, real estate law, or working in the northern suburbs), and then notify employers who fit those criteria that the books are available for review. These books can also be used when an employer calls up our office looking for a particular type of student to clerk for them ("We are looking for a 3L interested in litigation who has worked as a 711 clerk."), so that we can respond quickly and efficiently to employer requests (in that case by looking at the 3L Litigation Resume Book for students who have been 711 clerks).
Here are a few FAQs about Resume Books:
If you have additional questions about Resume Books, or would like your resume reviewed prior to opting in to a Resume Book, please contact your Career Services Adviser.

Attorneys representing approximately 50 practice areas will attend Practice Tracks, a program held at the Chicago Bar Association, 321 S. Plymouth Court (next to the John Marshall Law School) on Thursday, February 16, 2012 from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. Practice Tracks provides students with the opportunity to talk informally with attorneys about careers in a variety of practice areas. Practice Tracks is your chance to determine how job seekers are faring in a particular segment of the market, what it is like to practice in a specific practice area, which credentials are helpful in finding employment in that area, what skills you should emphasize when applying, and more!
Even though the participating attorneys volunteer their time and participation for Practice Tracks, that does not indicate job openings at represented organizations. However, this program has proven to be an extremely effective means of networking and obtaining helpful information about prospective employers in a variety of different settings and practice areas. To benefit from and make the most of this program, you may obtain business cards from practitioners in your areas of interest, and later reach out to those attorneys for an informational interview.
The Conference will also include nearly two dozen panels and workshops, including: *Enforcing Labor Rights in a Transnational World * Mobilizing for Sexual and Reproductive Justice * Strategic Lawyering for Collective Entities: Models, Methods and Movement Building * Fighting the Monopoly on Medicine * Fallout from the Wal-Mart Decision * Crime, But Not Punishment: Restorative Justice As An Alternative to Criminal Prosecution in Domestic & International Contexts * The Work JDs Do in Education Reform * Race and Voting * Prison Re-Entry * Sovereignty, Identity, and Genocide: U.S. Law and Native Bodies * Transnational LGBT Advocacy * Confronting Big Food * Juvenile Justice * Rethinking the Public Interest Law Market * Union organizing * Environmental Justice * and more!

The Janet D. Steiger Fellowship Project provides law students the extraordinary opportunity to work in the consumer protection departments of state and territorial Offices of Attorneys General throughout the United States. The eight-week paid Fellowships were initiated in 2004 by the ABA Section of Antitrust Law, in cooperation with the National Association of Attorneys General, as a consumer protection outreach initiative to introduce law students to the rewards of legal careers in public service. The first and second year law students who have served as Steiger Fellows have characterized their experiences as truly rewarding, often well beyond their expectations. A number of students have said that for the first time they are considering law careers in public service, and several have already entered public service upon graduation.
The Council of the Section approved funding for states to participate in the 2012 Steiger Fellowship Project. Each selected student will receive a $5,000 stipend (subject to certain federal taxes and administered through the offices of the state attorneys general). This Project continues to be a tribute to the memory of the late Janet D. Steiger, one of America's great public servants who, during her remarkable tenure as FTC Chairman, dramatically improved cooperation, communication and coordination between state and federal consumer protection and antitrust enforcement agencies. For more information and to obtain student applications, visit http://AmBar.org/Steiger Applications will be reviewed after the deadline date of January 31, 2012.

Georgetown Law is offering 14 Clinical Graduate Teaching Fellowships to new and experienced attorneys for the 2012-2014 academic years. Each two-year fellowship is associated with one of the Law Center's clinical programs, and each program varies in purpose, requirements, and duties. All of the clinical fellowships, however, share a common goal: to provide highly motivated lawyers the chance to develop skills as teachers and legal advocates within an exciting and supportive educational environment. Fellows directly supervise J.D.
students enrolled in the clinics, assist in teaching clinic seminars, and perform work on their own cases or other legal matters.
Fellowships will begin in the summer of 2012, with an intensive orientation designed to introduce fellows to clinical teaching methods. Upon completing the requirements for graduation, fellows are awarded the degree of Master of Laws (Advocacy). Graduates of Georgetown's clinical fellowship program have gone on to prestigious positions in law teaching and public interest law settings. Teaching fellows receive an annual stipend of approximately $53,000 (taxable), health and dental benefits, and all tuition and fees in the LL.M. program. As full-time students, teaching fellows usually qualify for deferment of their student loans. In addition, teaching fellows may be eligible for loan repayment assistance from their law schools. With the exception of fellows in the Center for Applied Legal Studies and the Street Law Clinic, all fellows must be members of the D.C. bar. Fellowship applicants who are admitted to a bar elsewhere must apply to waive into the D.C. bar upon accepting their fellowship offer. The Law Center will reimburse the expense of waiving into the D.C. bar incurred by those fellows who have already taken the bar exam elsewhere prior to accepting their fellowship offer.

MPILCC, the Midwest Public Interest Law Career Conference, is an opportunity to meet and interview with Chicago and Midwest-area public interest and government organizations. The annual conference is coordinated by a coalition of Chicago-area law school career services offices, of which Chicago-Kent is a member. Last year, more than 100 students from Chicago-Kent participated in MPILCC, as well as representatives from more than 40 government and public interest agencies.
This year's conference will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at Northwestern University School of Law. The conference offers students the opportunity to interview for summer law clerk positions and entry-level attorney positions. Though most of the available summer opportunities are unpaid or invite outside funding, there are a few positions that offer a stipend. Students may also meet with representatives from public interest and government organizations during "table talk." Table talk is an excellent way to become familiar with a wide variety of public interest and government employers. You may distribute your resume, discuss internship opportunities (both during the summer and the school year) and find out about post-graduation opportunities. Table talk will take place from 9:30 a.m.-11:45 a.m. and is one of the most important points during which students can make valuable connections.
If you do not receive any interviews, or you did not register in advance for the conference, you may still attend and meet many of the employers through table talk. Further, because scheduled interviewees may lose their interview slots if they do not check in at the conference on time (scheduled interviewees MUST check in between 7:30 a.m.-8:30 a.m., regardless of their interview time), you may also show up at the conference early and try to receive an interview on the day of the conference; open slots are filled by lottery system for those who arrive early. If you did receive interviews ahead of time, be sure to arrive on time (between 7:30 a.m.-8:30 a.m.) or you will lose your interviews!
Visit the MPILCC website at www.mpilcc.org for all conference details and attend the special workshop session on Preparing for MPILCC which will be held Tuesday, January 31st from noon—1 p.m., Room TBA. This program will help students strategize for interviewing and networking at MPILCC. Come hear from students and staff who have prior MPILCC experience to learn how to best make connections and build professional relationships.
If you are interested in a public interest or government legal position in the Chicago area, you are encouraged to attend this conference. If you are interested in government or public interest opportunities outside of Chicago, you should consider attending the annual Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair in Washington DC, held every October. The next Equal Justice Works Conference is set for October 26-27, 2012. If you have questions, contact Michelle Mohr Vodenik at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you receive after attending a job fair, please report this to our office by sending an email to email@example.com every couple weeks or so. Please include from what source you obtained the interview/offer (CCBA job fair, Loyola Patent Fair, etc.). We keep track of these in order to determine how students are doing and where our students end up working during the summer/after graduation. Also, if you have any concerns about how your interviews are progressing or questions about the interview process, please make an appointment to talk with a career counselor.

Rail Yard Redevelopment Project Will Create Ten Acres for New Sioux Falls Development
The Rail Yard Redevelopment Project is moving forward. A key milestone in the project was reached last week when the draft Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation document was signed by state and federal officials.
"This is an exciting time for Sioux Falls when a large project like this is one step closer," says Mark Cotter, Director of Public Works. "Our goal is that the City's purchase of the rail yard from BNSF will be complete by the end of the year."
The downtown rail yard occupies an area of Sioux Falls that has been identified as a central location for economic redevelopment. The purpose of the Rail Yard Redevelopment Project is to remove the yard tracks, while maintaining BNSF's railroad operations, meeting applicable railroad design criteria and safety standards, and being feasible from an engineering and logistics standpoint.
The removal of the yard tracks will open up approximately ten acres of land downtown for future development. If the proposed alternative is approved, trains still will travel through the heart of Sioux Falls but will interchange in the northeast part of town instead.
In 2005, Congress authorized funding to complete the removal of the downtown rail yard. The first step to use the funding from Congress is to develop an Environmental Assessment study, which identifies feasible alternatives and describes the environmental, social, and economic effects of the project's location and design.
The draft Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation document is now in the public comment phase of the proposed alternative. The Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation document is available for public inspection at the City Engineering Office in City Hall, 224 West Ninth Street, Sioux Falls, SD; the SDDOT Central Office, 700 East Broadway Avenue, Pierre, SD; and the SDDOT Area Office, 5316 West 60th Street North, Sioux Falls, SD. The document also is available at www.siouxfalls.org/railroad.
A public meeting regarding the Rail Yard Redevelopment Project will be held on Wednesday, August 14, 2013, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sioux Falls Convention Center, 1101 North West Avenue.

The inaugural Harry H. Dow Lecture on Immigration Law, honoring the Suffolk Law School's most eminent Chinese-American graduate, was an emotional evening for the Suffolk community.
Dow's son Frederick Dow could not help but cry when he recalled his father's difficult years working long hours in the family laundry business in the South End while earning his Suffolk Law degree from 1925 to 1929. Among other accomplishments, Harry Dow, who died in 1985, was the first Chinese-American to be admitted to the Massachusetts bar.
In honor of Dow's long and distinguished career as a lawyer, activist, mentor and defender of immigrants' rights, the law school has created an annual lecture series where professionals, academics, students and activists can meet and discuss the complex lenses through which immigrants see and are seen because of their identities.
The theme of the first Dow lecture, scheduled for Oct. 21, is "the impact of immigration law on Boston communities." Four guest speakers will discuss how Cape Verdean, Haitian, Latino and Asian groups are affected by immigration policies. Concurrent with the new lecture series, the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association at Suffolk is offering a new scholarship for students focusing on immigration law. The group is seeking donations to create a permanently endowed scholarship.
At the inaugural ceremony, on March 4, Frederick Dow, an Asian studies scholar and senior investigator with the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, presented a slide show and narrative of his father's life.
He spoke of his father's strong family upbringing; his military service in World War II as a captain in the Army Intelligence Corps, and later his service in Korea; and his success in the 1940s and 1950s running a law firm focusing on immigrant issues in Boston and New York City.
Fredrick Dow also described the bitter racial discrimination that drove his father from his New York practice in the 1950s, and his father's cheerful resilience. After Harry Dow retired from the law in 1965, he spent the next two decades as an activist and mentor in Boston's Chinatown, and as a role model for Suffolk lawyers taking up cases during the civil rights movement.
Through it all, his son said, Dow remained a modest and energetic man whose mission was to champion the poor, the diverse and the elderly, and who never sought or expected honors and accolades."These are the fortunes of my father," Frederick Dow said. "He would have been humbled by these gestures."
Suffolk Law Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Ilene Seidman teared up when she recalled Dow's impact on her early career, recalling how he "understood and valued our work" and gave her and other young lawyers "a moral compass."
University President James McCarthy spoke at the event.
Law student Dominic Yee also spoke.

XR Truck Bed Cover 22020359-1.1
- Constructed of durable agricultural grade vinyl
- Holds rain and snow weight
- Allows for full bed usage when open
- No-drill installation on most vehicles
- One year warranty
- Made in the USA - Jamestown, ND
The XR tonneau cover is a soft roll-up cover constructed of agricultural grade vinyl with an aircraft grade aluminum frame. The XR truck bed cover has aluminum support rods that provide rigidity when the cover is closed so water will not pool on top and snow will not cause it to sag. When the cover is opened, the support rods will roll up with the cover and leaves you with an open bed for hauling. The XR tonneau cover also has an easy to use tension adjuster which allows for easy use no matter the climate.
Installation of the XR tonneau cover is very simple with a no-drill installation for most applications. You will simply need some basic tools like an Allen wrench and a socket wrench. RealTruck warrants this cover for a period of 1 year. The cover is also made in the USA so you can rest easy knowing the quality is second to none.
Order NotesThe cargo management, utili-track, or deck rail system options refer to the factory installed rail system designed to hold moveable cargo cleats along the inside of your truck bed. This bed cover will impede some of the functionality of these accessories. Please call us for further clarification.
If you have a Nissan Frontier or Nissan Titan with the factory bed extender you may need the Optional Bed Extender Adapter Kit.

|A good looking easy install!
|The clamps needed to be REALLY tight to hold onto the bed of my truck. After a couple trips down the road I had to retighten them again. They are fine now.
Part #: RTI-22020359-1.1 Posted on
|it looks nice and is easy to use. the cover is made of some rubber base material not canvas or vinyl. this concerns me as i don't feel it will last. another thing that disappointed me was the side rails cut into the open access of the bed by more than 2 inches on both sides. I work out of my truck and find it a inconvenience. I read several people complained it was loose fitting? there is an adjustment to tighten it. but, it hasn't been exposed to summer heat where I may also have an issue? so far I am ok with my purchase three months ago. my truck does have a bed liner.
