Bellevue Community College wants to reinvent itself as a hybrid institution that blends elements of a university with those of a traditional two-year college.
Bellevue Community College wants to reinvent itself as a hybrid institution that blends elements of a university with those of a traditional two-year college.
But the plan already is running into opposition from the University of Washington and could be derailed by legislators reluctant to back any expansion at a time the state is facing a huge budget deficit.
BCC is backing bills before the state House and Senate that would:
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Your vote counts so little in Tuesday's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'

• Rename the institution Bellevue College.
• Allow BCC to issue a range of four-year degrees, including bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, bachelor of arts in education and bachelor of applied science.
• Add BCC to the list of six state universities whose four-year degree programs are overseen by the state Higher Education Coordinating Board.
• And expand the board of trustees from five to eight members, including a student representative. That's a model similar to the one used at the UW.
BCC President Jean Floten said Wednesday the college has mapped out an aggressive schedule that would have it teaching 1,500 juniors and seniors within a decade.
Floten said the degrees, for the most part, would be aimed at specific industries and not overlap much with those offered by the UW.
Examples include interior design, criminal justice and medical technology, she said.
The college currently offers a single four-year degree in radiology as part of a statewide pilot program.
Floten said she expects the new baccalaureate degrees would attract midrange students — those with grade-point averages of 2.5 to 3.75 — who wouldn't readily be accepted at competitive institutions like the UW and couldn't travel to other universities because of jobs or families.
"There's a huge population that is unserved," she said.
In the Puget Sound region, 6,000 students each year finish associate degrees but don't transfer to universities, Floten said.
An additional 3,600 students finish technical degrees that can't be used toward any existing four-year degrees.
The UW plans to oppose the BCC plan at a Senate hearing in Olympia on Friday.
UW spokesman Norm Arkans said the university supports expanding statewide access to education. But the state decided 20 years ago to do that through university branch campuses, he said, an effort never properly funded.
"We think that before the state decides to expand other institutions, we ought to finish the job we started in Bothell and Tacoma," Arkans said. "We think it's still a work in progress. Clearly they have the capacity for additional growth."
Arkans said if the state were to put more money into BCC, it likely would result in fewer resources for the rest of the university system.
Blaming overenrollment and budget reductions, the UW's Seattle campus decided it would not enroll about 370 students this spring who would have been accepted under normal circumstances.
About two-thirds of those students would have transferred in from community colleges like BCC.
A spokesman for Eastern Washington University, which offers several degree programs on the BCC campus, said EWU is watching developments closely but not taking a stand on BCC's expansion proposal at this point.
Floten said the bill before lawmakers doesn't ask for any money over the next two years, but rather grants BCC the authority to begin making the changes.
Over the next decade, she said, the plan would cost the state about $42 million to build a new teaching facility and to upgrade BCC science labs.
The college would ask the state for the same reimbursement rate for juniors and seniors as that given to other universities.
There is plenty of room for expansion on BCC's 96-acre campus, Floten added.
While such a hybrid-college model has not been tried in Washington, Floten said, it has been used successfully in Florida and British Columbia, among other places.
State Rep. Marcie Maxwell, D-Renton, who is sponsoring the House bill, said she doesn't think BCC's plan would encroach on the UW's turf.
"I think we know that the capacity is there," she said. "Students who need to enroll in baccalaureate degrees can't do so."

Range-bound play targets Williams
Chris McKhann | firstname.lastname@example.com
optionMONSTER systems show that a trader sold 5,000 January 2014 30 of those puts for $1.68. The volume was quadruple the strike's open interest of 1,228 contracts at the beginning of the day, so this is clearly a new position.
Less than a minute later, a print of 150,000 WMB shares was sold for $35.50. The combination of stock and short puts would make for a delta-neutral position that is looking for lower volatility and for shares to stay range-bound. (See our Education section)
WMB is down 0.8 percent this morning to $35.45. The stock ended Friday's session at $36, its highest close since the 52-week high in mid-October. Shares were down at support at $31 in mid-December and have been climbing since.

You're a busy gal, so cut a few unnecessary steps from your daily routine and wear the prAna Women's Etta Tank Top to work, yoga class, and dinner.
- Quick-drying, breathable, and moisture-wicking fabric keeps you comfortable and cool while you race around from place to place
- Single asymmetrical shoulder strap provides a contemporary look
- Internal shelf bra lends discreet support during more active pursuits
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
More of a night out top than workout...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I like my workout tops to fit loosely and so I ordered the XL. I normally wear size medium to large tops and am a 36C bra size. I liked the fit and colors but ended up returning the top because the small strap was a loose fit (not-adjustable). I was worried that the top would not be equally supportive of my chest.
The style was cute but felt more like a going out for a "night on the town" shirt than an actual workout top.
Good overall
- Fit: Runs small
My wife wears this mostly for rock and gym climbing. The thin strap has gotten a little loose with wear and she finds that additional support is needed. Aside from this the top is of the usual excellent prana quality and the fabric is very breathable.
I bought this top since I had a pair of Prana capris in the deep blue, I really like how they match, I like the fabric which feels natural but yet technical, it does have a shelf bra although it does not have the pockets to insert padding that I had to sew on myself. The asymmetrical style makes it really cool and stylish and the print is fantastic. They do run a little big, I am usually a small (4) on other brands but on prana I order the xs and it still doesn�t feel that fitted to the body.

With the Round of 16 matches resuming in the UEFA Champions League this week, Clare musician Paul Quinn's cover of the competition's anthem has received over 98,000 views on YouTube in four days.
Speaking to RTÉ TEN about his cover, the Ennis man said: "It wasn't too hard to get right since I've heard the song so many times, being a footie fan. Although, picking out all the different pieces by ear was a bit time-consuming."
He continued: "Also, I couldn't find any sheet music to help me out, which made things a bit awkward. But I strangely prefer it that way; not having anything to go by."
Quinn's other covers on acoustic guitar include Amhrán na bhFiann, the Game of Thrones theme and music from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
RTÉ Two will screen Barcelona v Manchester City on Wednesday March 12 at 7:30pm, followed by the new series of Second Captains Live at 10:20pm (subject to extra time and penalties in the match).

Using a pacifier may protect infants from sudden death syndrome, according to a new research.
In detail, a newborn who is given a pacifier has a small risk of dying from sudden death syndrome. Because the presence of a pacifier control infants cardiac.
In addition, researchers from the Monash Institute of Medical Research, Clayton found that the protection of pacifier will still be felt even when the pacifier is not in the baby's mouth even when they sleep.
"Sudden death syndrome may be caused by the failure of the baby to wake up from sleep when breathing stops or drastically reduced blood pressure," said Professor Rosemary Horne, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, baby sucking on a pacifier can make them easier to wake from sleep or improve cardiac control – the ability to regulate the heartbeat.
Researchers then included 37 healthy infants to be analyzed when they are napping. Researchers found that babies who suck pacifiers does have a diverse variety of heart rate. It is a sign of cardiac system responds to blood pressure in infants.
The condition persists even though the baby is not really sucking the pacifier.
Researchers actually do not quite understand why the pacifier can control cardiac in baby. In addition, there is a lot of positive evidence about the use of baby pacifiers. For example, infants should not be given a pacifier before breastfeeding is completely stable – when the baby is one month old. Then the use of pacifiers should be stopped when the baby is between the ages of 6-12 months.
Sudden death syndrome usually occurs in infants, even though they are in a healthy condition. Premature babies or low birth weight infants are most at risk of developing the syndrome. Most occur at night and the exact cause are rarely known.

As the previous reviewer stated the Park itself is not a destination. The Park is older, yet has a small hardware store and a laundromat and a bottomless coffee pot in a 'Rec-room'. Hatch, (Chili Capitol of the World), is 20 miles South and Truth or Consequences is 20 miles North. Cabillo Lake is only a mile and a quarter away, Elephant Butte is 24 miles North. Quite a few folks stop here to prospect of gold and other minerals in the Cabillo Mountains. The owner's even have a claim that they allow guests to hunt upon. Is excellent Winter Quarters for some and year round for some others. - hank h

New Mexico is filled with wonderful places to explore. This tiny park is central to Southern New Mexico and close to White Sands National Park, the Sacramento Mountains, Caballo Reservoir, Indian ruins, the new space port, Truth or Consequences and more. The park itself is definitely not a destination. The majority of the park is filled with long-term residents. A separate area in the front is for over nighters. The laundry room is spacious and clean. There are no restrooms or showers. Internet is strong, but local TV channels are non-existent. Each site has a covered ramada with picnic table. Don't come here for the amenities; come for the low rates and convenience to other state activities. - rfmscat

I wish to say that your story on the undercover boss Joseph Depinto the CEO of 7 elevin is a liar and fake. My brother was fired from his company because after he worked for 7 elevin for 10 years and then he found out he had stage 3 colon cancer they terminated him and took away his insurance and left him out to dry, and now he is 100,000 thosand dollars in debt and he can not help support his 5 kids and wife.And yes he worked all the way untill he found out of his condition and he told his boss and then after the surgery to remove a 20 pound tumor from his stomach he was trying to go back to work and he was told that he was no longer needed. I f you have questions you can reach me at anytime night or day and my number is [702-376-5185]

I would like to nominate Kohl's Department Store to be a focus of Undercover Boss. Kevin Mansell, Wesley McDonald and Donald Brennan would be 3 of the top exec's I would like to see on TV. The reply letter I got was from an underling therefore, I know they never saw my complaint. So here is a wake up call for them so to speak! As a customer for over 13 years they would not allow me to use my merchandise credits toward another GIFT card in their own store. In these hard economic times, one would hope a nationwide retailer would allow someone to take about $30 in merchandise credit and add $20 more to give a nice gift for a niece's birthday. But no, it is a POLICY. So maybe they could get the take from a customer's point of view as well, therefore I nominate them. Carol Pittsburgh PA YES I closed my account!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to see the CEO of Energizer on undercover boss. I think the execs need to see what we actually do in the field for them despite our professional and personal hurdles we have to overcome every single day. It is not easy being a single mother, working full time and going to school full time and I do not feel the CEO understands what we have to give up in order to make money for them.
Kohl's Employee Says:
March 1st, 2013 at 2:25 pm
I find your comment interesting as it does not make any sense. EVERY business has policies to follow for a reason. Gift cards can be used to buy gift cards. A merchandise credit is for merchandise only. This is kind of a given with their names. Kohl's offers special gift cards that can be used to pay your Kohl's charge bill as they support charity and local schools. As a whole, no you cannot pay the BANK with a gift card to wipe your charge balance clean. Do you even realize that when you write the check to Kohl's for your bill, it technically belongs to the bank. We are like a third party taking money for you. This is common sense. I would love to see them nominated so they can see how consumers act in their store. They NEED to be MORE FIRM with their policies in FACT and start putting their foot down. The leniency is only punishing the honest. Kohl's is a wonderful, family and community orientated store. It is time they step up and demand the respect from consumers.

I would like to see the ceo go on undercover boss. If more ceo's went undercover it would help them to run a much better company. They depend on managment to run things and don't know how some of the hourly employess's are treated.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife Virginia left a voicemail message on the telephone of Anita Hill, asking her to say she was sorry for the allegations of sexual harassment that surfaced at Thomas' confirmation hearings for a seat on the high court bench in 1991.
NPR's Michel Martin spoke with with Dahlia Lithwick, senior legal correspondent for Slate.com, and Harvard Law professor Charles Ogletree.
Ogletree represented Hill during the hearings and says he was "shocked" by news of the call.
"It's been a living nightmare for professor Anita Hill," says Ogletree.
Anita Hill said she has no intention of apologizing because she told the truth. She issued this statement:
I certainly thought the call was inappropriate. I have no intention of apologizing because I testified truthfully about my experience and I stand by that testimony.

Actor Terrence Howard is the subject of an interview at Comics2Film, where he talked about why the role is important to him. "I feel like now I am ready to really go and star in, and you know, carry some of my own films," Howard said. "I got to watch Jeff Bridges who is just beyond brilliant. His instinct towards truth in the character was only matched by Robert. Robert would fight, fight, fight, fight and make sure every single scene -- every moment of every scene -- was perfect. He would not surrender no matter what. Gwyneth, there's a grace about her. She can't tell a lie on camera. And when something's not right she's gonna defend her turf. She's not going to grab onto that handrail of mediocrity, which is normally the basis of compromise. She stands up for truth. Now I know what I need to make a film successful, creatively. I don't care what it does in the marketplace. That's somebody else's job. But now I know to make sure that it has the historical authenticity that it needs, the integrity that it needs."
His co-star Gwyneth Paltrow was among three women playing roles in comic book movies this summer (alongside Liv Tyler from "Incredible Hulk" and Maggie Gyllenhaal from "The Dark Knight") interviewed by USA Weekend (with extras here), talking about providing some estrogen for the high powered flicks. "Mine was definitely a testosterone-fest," Paltrow said. "I was the only girl for miles, except for the women working in the wardrobe, hair and makeup departments. I would have time off when the guys would go blow things up in the desert, and every time I went back to work, they were happy to have a girl there. They had kind of forgotten that there were women in the world."
Superhero Hype has some new production stills from the metal-minded Marvel movie.
CBR News has complete coverage of this weekend's NYCC panel.
Meanwhile, Sci Fi Wire has additional quotes from actor Emile Hirsch about being surprised at the final product. "It was so much more, because when you're on the green screen, you have to substitute it with your imagination," Hirsch said. "The Wachowski brothers just have that much crazier of an imagination than I do. Maybe they have that particular visual crazy gift. So the wildest thing I could imagine pales in comparison to what they had already imagined and managed to put on screen, which is kind of part of their genius that they just are able to do that."
Finally, producer Joel Silver talked to Collider about sequel possibilities. "They have a great story idea for a sequel to this movie ('Speed Racer')," Silver said, "we have a great idea for a sequel if it makes sense to make it ... We're having a good time. I love working with them and it's a great joy to have them in my life. They're smart and funny and they love the kind of movies I love and they know how to make them like no one else. I look at this movie and can't believe we created it. I can't believe it exists."
According to MTV, creator Frank Miller is in talks to direct an adaptation of the comic he created with Geof Darrow.
Speaking of Frank Miller, he was on hand at this weekend's New York Comic-Con, and CBR News has the inside scoop.
There's an interesting new rumor from Thomas Tull, founder, chairman and CEO of Legendary Pictures. Apparently, Tull told students that the new Superman movie would refocus on the man of steel as "an angry god."
Kryptonsite has a new image gallery of promotional photos from the upcoming May 1st episode "Apocalypse."
Actress Selma Blair wants more for Liz Sherman in the sequel, or so she's quoted in saying at Sci Fi Wire. "The first time around, my character was stuck and sad," Blair said. "I was just wanted Liz to kick some ass! We are introduced to Liz immediately as a much stronger character. She's with Hellboy, and she is more sure of her powers and using them. She's much more a part of the story as a force in the B.P.R.D. instead of someone that isn't willing to be there."
CBR News has coverage of this weekend's panels on the two properties.
Sci Fi Wire also quotes director Louis Leterrier who pooh-poohs rumors of internal strife regarding the project. "It's so unsettling, because it's not true," Leterrier said. "Listen, when you have problems [on a film], you learn what to do. Everyone comes to an agreement where everyone agrees to say it was one thing or it was another thing. But [this controversy] is not a real thing, so I am saying one thing and [producer] Kevin [Feige] will say another thing, because it's a non-issue."
We can't do this without you. The rumors, the scoops, the set photos -- they're all fueled by passionate fans emailing in the goods. The ones who ask, "What do you mean your sister's dating somebody who works for Warner Brothers?" The ones who know the code names of movie projects and scour city permit filings for them. The devoted, the involved. Fans, just like you. Whatever you know, we wanna know, and whether you want your name shouted to the web's rafters or kept closer than a classified report, we've got you covered like a comforter. Broadcasting live from Los Angeles, this is your humble scribe Hannibal Tabu saying thank you for your time and indulgence, and [tagline due to return with new WGA drafts this week].

By Michelyn Camen
I work out at least four days a week. I lift weights, practice yoga and endure hours of cardio. I don't eat foods that taste especially yummy. Yet, after ten years of consistent exercise, my waistline is increasing and zippers aren't closing. Fit but not fab, what am I doing wrong?
In a city where there are thousands of personal trainers, how do you know if you are choosing an expert and not an out of work model with a certification? I have hired personal trainers in the past, but never saw significant results. I made costly mistakes, since most of the time I based my choices on how the trainer looked, or lowest price per session.
This time I did my homework. I researched dozens of N.Y.C. trainers, then met and sweated with three who knew their stuff.
Clay Spa: Melissa DeLancy
At the 20,000 square foot Clay Spa, the old slogan "No Pain, No Gain", has been replaced by "Worship your body, nourish your soul."
Arriving at Clay, I thought I had mistakenly walked into the W Hotel. Not your typical dark and dank gym. Membership has it rewards: complimentary overnight laundry service, a café/restaurant, and concierge desk are just a few of the amazing amenities. The luxurious day spa is as important to the Clay concept as the action packed classes (including Yoga, Spin, and Pilates) and the state of the art gym.
So when can I move in? With so many sybaritic distractions, would I focus on my work out?
I met with Melissa DeLancy. Petite and slender, Melissa doesn't look like the stereotypical "buff and tough" personal trainer. Today, Melissa has earned an impressive array of accreditations, including certification by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
First, Melissa conducted an extensive family and personal health evaluation. "I always perform assessments from the minute I begin working with someone. It's important to know as much about a client's health history early on as they will share with you." she said. We headed towards the elliptic machine for a warm up. The remaining 50 minutes passed quickly; Melissa guided me through a series of compound muscle group exercises emphasizing strength, flexibility and endurance. The military style pushups with alternating side planks were especially challenging.
"The first session is pure evaluation; I assess the client's level of fitness and their expectations," she says. "Once I get to know my client, I tailor their workout to their goals, whether it's losing weight for a college reunion or improving their golf game- always trying to manage expectations." Melissa gives her clients homework to do: mine was to add 60 minutes of cardio at a lower intensity every week.
Post workout, I was tempted to try Clay's hydrating renewal facial, but walked the 25 blocks back to my office instead.
Membership fee is $ 2,500 a year; includes five complimentary one hour personal training sessions or spa treatments. Additional hourly sessions are priced between $95 and $125.
Dellbach Studio: Inga Dell
Inga Dell, co-founder of Dellbach Studio, believes personal trainers should be trainers, and not salespeople with quotas. That's why after ten years as a head trainer for well-known national gyms, she opened Dellbach Studio in 2002, where clients are not required to make any financial commitments.
Dellbach focuses only on one-on-one training. Running the marathon? Improving your tennis game? Trying to squeeze an effective workout into your hectic day? According to Inga, "Most Dellbach clients are professional women and men over 30. The reason they choose to train here instead of a typical gym is because of the personalized atmosphere, designed to meet athletic/ fitness goals more easily than in a typical gym setting." Inga employs full and part time trainers (Try "Mistress" Mary Fugle, for killer Pilates). Dellbach Studio offers clients monthly nutrition and fitness counseling.
After reviewing my diet and fitness history; Inga quickly identified that I was stuck in a diet and exercise rut. Since Inga's accreditations include a BS in both Nutrition and Physical Education, she advised me to lower my calorie intake on non training days, eat more fruit and vegetables and adopt interval training techniques – varying cardio intensity and equipment.
Our session was 45 minutes. Inga's experience proves that most clients lose focus and intensity if the session lasts any longer. My workout began with a few minutes jumping rope, followed by a total body workout combining at least two muscle groups simultaneously (i.e. squats with back rows). "I implement lots of different techniques according to fitness levels." Inga declared. Inga incorporated exercise bands, machines, dumbbells, fitness balls and body weight exercises like pushups and lunges. Our workout was challenging, but not uncomfortable, something I felt I could maintain on my own.
Afterwards, I stopped at the grocer and picked up fresh vegetables for lunch.

Greg Theodore, Personal Trainer
I was told about Greg Theodore by an acquaintance who swore that after firing six personal trainers in three years, she finally found "the one". Since I had last seen her only two months ago, she definitely looked toned and terrific. "Sign me up", I said.
Greg Theodore is an independent trainer with 15 years of experience and a BS in Physical Therapy. Greg is a former Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I had some reservations (remember the movie Private Benjamin?), but contacted Greg for a consultation/training session. Greg travels to his clients' gyms or homes (he can train you in the tiniest New York studio). I could work out based on MY schedule, taking advantage of my condo's well equipped gym.
We discussed my fitness and injury history. I let him know I worked out for years with personal trainers, including a former Mr. Olympia runner-up. He was not impressed.
During our consultation, Greg appeared soft-spoken and unassuming…how tough could he be? Ha! I spent one hour enduring the most challenging work out I have ever experienced, a non stop, high rep, lower body workout combining plyometrics, boxing and jump rope drills that pushed my cardio threshold sky high. "I can't do THAT! Why can't I take a break NOW?" I whined.
Welcome to Camp Greg… heart pumping cardio combined with high repetition boot camp exercises (i.e., squat thrusts with pushups and dumbbell presses …as one continuous exercise). I made excuses why I couldn't, wouldn't, do certain exercises. I complained I was going to pass out. "You're fine. If you want results train your mind as well as your body", he said.
According to Greg, many people give up before even starting. They believe 'I can only do ten reps' or 'pushups are too hard'. Negativity, poor breathing techniques, and bad form prevent them from reaching their potential. He helps break down these mental barriers by encouraging, teaching and motivating.
I was gasping for breath after 20 minutes. After all these years, I never learned how to breathe correctly, so Greg's reminders were constant and incessant. Finally, I "breathed" through a seemingly endless series of butt burning exercises. I collapsed on the mat as we stretched for the remainder of the session, proud I had made it through the hour.
Greg's clients never get too comfortable and are constantly challenged. They gain the confidence to move past their "perceived" limitations. He focuses on your workout as if he was doing it himself. "When I train a client, she/he is my universe for that hour. I am with them 100% during every rep; the client is my priority, not my next appointment", he explained. Could I keep up this high intensity without him? Greg teaches a baseline training program clients can do on their own. He advocates physical activities outside the gym- biking, yoga, tennis, and walking.
The tough marine has a big heart. After every session, he contacts each client by email or by phone, offering encouragement. Greg emails weekly e-tips on health, fitness and nutrition to all his clients- the beginners, the elite athletes, and physically challenged multiple sclerosis patients.
In real life, as in the movie, Private Benjamin perseveres…
To contact Greg Theodore, email him at firstname.lastname@example.com or call him at 917.375.6074.
Greg's fee varies depending on your location. Prices for a one hour session range from $90-$125. By appointment only

Comerica Park Seating Plan
Events at Comerica Park
Details of Comerica Park and the Ticket Luck value
With the construction of the Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers have gotten a new home, right next to the Detroit Lions. The open air ballpark arena is such a fun place not just for the sports lovers but for the general public as well. The new arena offers a great view of the downtown as well as some really fantastic carnival rides. The ballpark first opened in 2000 and it has served as the home of the Detroit Tigers for some ten years. As the host of the home games of the Tigers, the arena has witnessed several really exciting games.
Comerica Park got its share of baseball excitement while having the privilege of hosting home games for the Tigers. There are several different artistic plates in the arena paying tribute to the Tigers. At the entrance, the wall of the stadium offers a spectacular logo of a tiled Tiger. Similarly, several other parts of the stadiums also offer such brilliant architectural pieces. The arena was designed by Bliss and Nyitray, Inc and is a superb place for both sports lovers as well as general public looking for recreation as it has really amenities.
The superb Comerica Park arena may have made a place amongst the fans of the Detroit Tigers but this was not always the case. Not everyone was happy about saying goodbye to the much loved Tiger Stadium but when the fans learned about this magnificent new facility, they embraced it whole heartedly when it became the home of the Tigers in 2000. An interesting fact about this arena is that is located right next to the Ford Arena, making the Tigers the neighbors of the Lions. The first game hosted by the stadium brought joy for the Tigers and their fans as they won their game against the Seattle Mariners 5 - 2.
The fact that Tigers continue their brilliant performance while playing at the Comerica Park means a lot to their fans. The fantastic new arena and the continued outstanding performance of the team add to the fun for them each time. When the park got an LED scoreboard during the 2007 season, the fans of the Tigers went ecstatic. The new addition to the stadium has certainly increased the charm of the games as the fans were already having too much fun with the roaring Tiger of the stadium who roared whenever the team scored a run.
The Park offers spectacular display of fireworks for its Friday and Saturday games. With its capacity to accommodate some forty one thousand people, it is also a very popular place to hold concerts. The venue has already had the honor of hosting the concerts of Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Eminem, the Dave Matthews Band and many more. The Park also hosted one of the Vans Warped Tour stop. That is to say that whether you are looking for an exciting game or want to have a fun night out with your friends, all you need is a couple of Comerica Park Detroit tickets!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Ive really been waiting for this event for a long time, and now that the event is near, i want to be there, but tight budget is being a major obstacle. Please provide me with some discount code for 3 alds detroit tiger game 2 tickets.
A:This is the right place for you if youre looking for cheap tickets. Please roam around to get what you want. Thanks

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Desmond Jennings redeemed himself for an early defensive miscue with a game-winning hit in the 12th inning.
Jennings' RBI single gave Tampa Bay a 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers and the Rays took over the top spot in the AL wild-card race.
"You know what? I want to believe this game has to give us some kind of impetus moving forward," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Texas has a half-game lead over Cleveland, which lost at Kansas City, for the second wild card. The Rangers, who snapped a seven-game losing streak on Tuesday, are 3-13 in September.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary

- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
Most Read Stories
Jose Lobaton opened the 12th with a single off Joseph Ortiz (2-2), and pinch-runner Sam Fuld went to second on Yunel Escobar's bunt. Fuld then scored on Jennings' hit to right-center.
Leonys Martin put Texas up 2-0 with a two-run triple off Chris Archer in the second. Jennings misread the drive in center, first moving in and then couldn't get back in time as the ball went over his head.
Brandon Gomes (2-1) struck out Ian Kinsler with runners on second and third with two outs in the top of the 12th for the Rays.
"You talk about the total team victory right there, how about it?" Maddon said. "All kinds of crazy little nuances in the game. That's why the game is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful when you win a game like that."
• Suspended slugger Ryan Braun visited the Milwaukee Brewers for the first time since telling teammates in July that he accepted a 65-game ban as a result of baseball's investigation into a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Braun had wanted to visit teammates for a while but didn't want to be a distraction.

($75; includes 13% merlot) Good deep red. Currant, milk chocolate and tar on the nose, complicated by mint, pepper, red licorice and tobacco leaf nuances. Has plenty of size but comes across as distinctly dry and tight today, even a bit clenched. Began with some eucalyptus and pepper elements but seemed to grow sweeter with air, revealing floral and redcurrant flavors. Ultimately finishes with substantial dusty tannins and lingering notes of leather and pepper. Still, I'm not sure where this can go in bottle.

FOOD: Local mixologists put their twist on the summer cocktail
The annual San Diego Spirits Festival returns this weekend, with a bartender battle on Saturday and two days of tasting events featuring cutting-edge cocktails by some of the region's top mixologists.
To mark the occasion, we've asked some of the region's bartenders to talk about their craft, their signature drinks and their thoughts on what's next in the cocktail world.
The panel includes drink designer Ian Ward of Snake Oil Cocktail Co. ---- which created drinks for Searsucker, Burlap, Herringbone, Gingham, Gabardine, Gaijin Noodle + Sake House and Campine Catering ---- as well as bartenders Jeff Josenhans of The Grant Grill in San Diego; Cameron Holloway at Quality Social Bar in San Diego; Nick Zanoni of Thruster's Lounge in Pacific Beach; Scotty Moises of La Jolla's La Valencia Hotel; Steven Tuttle of San Diego's El Dorado Cocktail Lounge; Frankie Thaheld of George's at the Cove and George's California Modern in La Jolla; Adrienne Borlongan at Katsuya San Diego; "cocktail engineer" Lauren Lathrop Williams at Jsix in San Diego; Gavin McManes at Beaumont's Eatery in La Jolla; Mat Snapp, beverage manager for True Food Kitchen in Mission Valley and Fox Restaurant Concepts; Jonathan Boyle of Island Prime & C Level on Harbor Island; and newcomer Nate Howell, at Hotel La Jolla's just-opened Hiatus Lounge.
Question: Bartenders and mixologists have become the rock stars of the hospitality world right now. Why?
Cameron Holloway, Quality Social: There is growing demand for a well-crafted, quality cocktail. Bartenders are taking a serious interest in the way it used to be and I think people appreciate that more. There was a golden age of cocktails in the early 1900s, before Prohibition led to underground drinking and the loss of a bartender's "craft". The '70s and '80s were also bad for cocktails, with the advent of sugary pre-made mixers. We're going back to the old ways, where people are now ordering an Old Fashioned, Aviation, and a Sazerac. A lot of that also has to do with us choosing to use fresh and interesting ingredients, and that makes a world of difference. Just take a look at what some of our local chefs are doing and it's easy to translate that same love for freshness and quality ingredients to the bartending world. Frankly, I'm a little leery of terms like 'mixology' and 'rock star'. We're just a bunch of working-class folk who happen to know a thing or two about flavor and pairing.
Nick Zanoni, Thrusters Lounge : The slow food movement percolated to the mainstream over the last decade, craft beer has blazed a trail, and the slow cocktail movement is gaining steam with the help of drink pioneers, media and evolving tastes.
Scotty Moises, La Valencia: I think bartenders gained inspiration from chefs when they started to become celebrities, using farm-fresh products and implementing unique pairings, fine presentation and educating others of their cooking. Cooks morphed into chefs and bartenders have become mixologists.
Frankie Thaheld, George's: I believe as we have been becoming closer to our food, we are also coming closer to the things we imbibe. As we need a clever chef to lead us through the changing landscape of sustainability and organic, we are finally intrigued with someone who knows how Campari is made and some of its history, for an example.
Lauren Lathrop Williams, Jsix: In an economy where people have fewer drinks, they were more interested in making each one count ---- it needed to be well-crafted, great-tasting and preferably come with some great conversation or information. Guests wanted things they couldn't make at home, whether because of skill or the sheer amount of obscure liquors required.

Graham Nash's hippie ideals endure
Passionate music legend shares his story in candid new autobiography 'Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life.' His two Belly Up shows next month are sold-out.
Crosby's drug travails became even more gruesome, a point Nash doesn't hold back from graphically describing. Only after serving time in a Texas prison, where he kicked his habit cold turkey, did Crosby finally get clean and sober.
When it comes to Crosby, his best friend for decades, Nash seems to have left nothing out of "Wild Tales." Were there any incidents Nash decided not to share in the book?
"My major concerns were my wife, Susan, and Crosby, particularly David," Nash replied.
"Everybody wants to hear the (details) about Joni (Mitchell) and the role she played my life, since we lived together. So I wanted to know how Susan was processing that information (in the book), and she was totally fine. Of course, I didn't meet Susan until 6 years after Joni and I were finished.
"But I was mainly concerned with the way I described my life with David and his spiral into cocaine madness. It really affected me, not only on a personal level, but a musical and spiritual level. There was one story in my book, the only one, that legal department (of the publishers) wanted me to make sure was true. And that was about David selling his Mercedes to his drug dealer and the dealer dying, and David stealing the car back. I wrote David, and he said: 'Hey, that's exactly what happened — and I re-sold the car.'
"David is a man; he admits what happened. He knows he went crazy there, he knows how it affected me. He admitted it, and said: 'Don't change a word. It's all true'."
Would Nash have changed any part of the book if Crosby had asked him?
"Only if it wasn't true and I'd remembered it wrong," Nash said. "That's why I closed the book with (the line): "This is how I remember it,' because we all have our truths. The truth is that Stephen, to this day thinks the first time we (CSN) sang together was in (Mama) Cass' kitchen, and it's just not true. We all choose to believe what we think.
"But had David asked me to change (the book) I probably would have, because it was pretty brutal. But he's here in the next room and he's read the book, and he found it to be a very interesting read. I wanted the book to be in my voice. I wanted it to be clear. And I wanted it to be like I was talking to you in my kitchen, not a big, highfalutin', brilliant thing, but me talking to you. And I did."
For his pending Belly Up performance, Nash will be accompanied by Crosby's son, James Raymond on keyboards and former Lone Justice/Bruce Springsteen guitarist Shayne Fontaine. As for the rest of this year and the year ahead, Nash's schedule is already full.
"I'm doing the final mixes for a 40-song, 3-CD CSNY box set of our 1974 tour that will be out in early March," he said.
"David and Stephen and I were honored in May to play with Wynton Marsalis and his Jazz at Lincoln Center (big band), which orchestrated 12 of our songs. We got to sing with them at Lincoln Center and that was a thrill. I obviously made sure we were recording that on multi-track and that we had 16 video cameras. As soon as I finish the CSN box set, I'll start working on that. Then there's some photography shows planned, and a painting show for me. And we're joining Neil (Young) at (this weekend's) Bridge School Benefit (concert), so maybe Neil will want to do something (next year), too...
"I'm a person who focuses on getting the job done. If we're going to make a new album, let's make it the best we can. Why not? We only have so much time in our lives."

Hi! My name's Allie and I'm from Staten Island, NY. (Or "the forgotten borough of NYC.") I'm extremely new to cycling and currently in the market for a decent bike. I would like to start off riding recreationally (on trails and streets throughout the neighborhood) and eventually work my way up to commuting- and utilitarian-biking. (And when I say eventually, I mean it: maybe years from now, after I set down roots in a more bike-friendly part of the city.)
At the moment, I'm a full-time grad student, working part-time at a college library. (I'm in school to be a librarian. There is more education in front of me, too, as I will need a second Master's degree. D'oh!) Needless to say, my budget for a bike is rather low and I barely have time to eat and sleep... so it's all about baby steps.
In my bike-related research, I've often ended up here at Bike Forums... so I decided it was high time to register and make myself known. I hope to learn a lot more from all you knowledgeable folks!
See you around,

The Stillness of Meditation
Sitting in meditation gives one the time to relax in mind and look beyond immediate circumstances; to take in more data.
For example:
When traveling by car at 65 miles per hour, the view is blurry when looking out the side window.
But when you stop the car for a moment and look out the side window, even in the countryside, you can see many details, such a types of flowers growing along the road, the number of people in a field off in the distance, the types of trees on the horizon, and other objects, depending on how long you sit there without moving.
In the same way, when we sit in meditation our bodily movements slow down. When we are still and not thinking about moving here or there or what we are going to do next, we are taking a vacation from the physical. We have time to use our mind to work out situations in a deeper way, as if we are looking at all that is going on down the side road.
This technique for problem solving is a big benefit of quiet, still meditation time.
Another way to use the deeper and more far-ranging view is to plan out our own future, and a step-by-step sequence of what we need to accomplish a goal. Then at the end of meditation, we can record our new plan or insights in a journal.
The most joyful way I like to use this in-depth quiet time in meditation is to think about family and friends, send them loving thoughts, and then visualize my love spreading outward, person by person and on throughout the universe, including to those who are dear to me and have left my sight in the earthly physical plane.
Which brings me to another benefit of this in-depth experience: I feel emotionally close to those who have passed on when I think about them while sitting in meditation. My mother passed away many years ago, but I gather her wise counsel while conversing with her in the depth of quietude.
I feel benefitted by visiting the depths of my being, discovering again the endless joy springing from that eternal place within us all. I feel connected to all in the river of bliss flowing deep within my being, a place I can visit and imbibe in at a moments notice by sitting still in meditation.
I invite you to join me in a daily group cyber meditation for personal and planetary peace. Click the article here to read about it.

I see me a brown seat in there Bob. Why you gotta steal my Idea about a desert Bike? I was just think'in about that. About how much would they be? Maybe some RAT PATROL symbols on the tool boxes? Jerry can's instead of Panniers? It'll be a cool project.
Will the panniers be alum or steel? Lockable? Will they work on the earlier bikes too(05 deluxe) or just the UCE bikes?
Thanks for the feedback Bob, I was hoping for a lighter alum version.
That system looks like it could have been lifted off of my Iron Barrel Military and modded to suit the C5. If it is I can vouch for the sturdiness. It has been "tested" and found to give protection in addition to utility. Split vinyl hose applied around the lip of the boxes gives very good weather sealing on mine and stops the rattle too.
Would the panniers work on a G5? What are the interior dimensions of the pannier rack (or put another way, what are the dimensions of the stock metal cans)?Is there some kind of taillight kit that goes with it? Wouldn't the regular taillights be in the way?

3. Retweet
A retweet is when you repeat what someone else posted, paying careful attention to attribute the post to the original sender. It's like sending electronic kudos. Retweeting other people's tweets will help you generate good will with your followers and attract new followers.
"There are a couple of technical areas or policy themes where I try to watch for insightful or interesting things, and I'll retweet or post links to those," Catlett said.
4. Deepen Twitter Connections via Face-to-Face Meetings
Meeting people who I tweet with really has solidified my relationships with a number of allies in my network. Take the time to attend Tweetups or meet your fellow Tweeps at conferences.
"I also found that when I went to conferences ... like a Gartner conference, I would end up meeting people who were following me and thus developed an instant familiarity," Cureton said.
5. Tap Twitter Apps
Twitter has spawned a slew of Twitter applications that are unreliable, but some are useful. For example, Tweetlater is a tool that you can use to schedule posts to be sent ahead of time. Spending time testing Twitter applications is a great place to see some innovation at work.

News: Warrant officers look at history, future at 95th birthday celebration
Story by Sgt. Amy Christopherson
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. - The 704th Military Intelligence Brigade hosted an observance of the 95th birthday of the Army's Warrant Officer Corps July 9.
Though the concept of warrant officers in the military is said to date back to Napoleon's time, the official birthday of the Army's Warrant Officer Corps was July 9, 1918.
The 704th Military Intelligence Brigade observed the Warrant Officer Corps' 95th birthday July 9 at Fort Meade, Md. Chief Warrant Officer 5 Wendy Wayman, the signals intelligence senior technical adviser, hosted the event.
Wayman, the brigade's senior warrant officer who has a total of 29 years in the Army, with 17 of them as a warrant, began by reviewing the history of the corps. After a look back through the years past, Wayman summarized the future of the corps.
"To boil it down, it is our job to find the best and the brightest noncommissioned officers to follow in our footsteps," she said.
The most experienced warrant officer present and the newest, Warrant Officer Ava Thompson, with Bravo Company 742nd MI Battalion, cut the birthday cake. Thompson, who has only been a warrant officer for six days, expressed a common sentiment about wanting to be a warrant.
"The first warrant officer I ever met was the most knowledgeable person I ever met," she said. "He made me decide this is where I want to go in my own career."
Wayman shared a similar sentiment about one of her first mentors.
"He was the epitome of warrant officers," she said. "He knew everything and if there was something he didn't know, he would find out. He was a mentor, friend and an example to live up to."
According to the definition developed by the Army in 1985, a warrant officer is "an officer appointed by warrant by the Secretary of the Army, based upon a sound level of technical and tactical competence. The warrant officer is the highly specialized expert and trainer who, by gaining progressive levels of expertise and leadership, operates, maintains, administers, and manages the Army's equipment, support activities, or technical systems for an entire career."
Wayman said that is why she wanted to become a warrant officer.
"I love my job, and I knew I wanted to keep doing it long-term."

A house fire is disastrous enough, but on Saturday, a fire ripped through five homes in Calvert, Texas, destroying the homes and everything inside. One boy, who was over at his grandmother's house playing a game, sprang to the rescue at just the right time to save his grandmother from the flames.
According to KHOU, 8-year-old James Wilbore first heard the glass breaking, and at that moment, he went into rescue mode. He was staying with his 67-year-old grandmother and instinctively knew what he had to do to get her to safety. She was his first priority.
"I opened the window real fast and then I got my granny out. I said, 'Granny, Granny get out! The fire is coming right in the house,' because the fire had bust the door open," James said.
As James was pulling his grandmother out of the house, neighbors came to help, and eventually they were all clear of the inferno.
Two firefighters tackling the blaze required medical attention, with one sent to the hospital for dehydration and heat exhaustion and the other treated on-site.
"Its just a total loss. A total disaster," said Laterika Brooks, a resident who lost her home in the fire. "There's no way you can get anything back. It's just gone."
Thankfully, James's grandmother was able to make it out with the help of her young grandson. James says he doesn't want a prize or recognition for what he did and that he's just happy his grandma is safe, but we'd like to recognize him anyway. Way to go, James! Perhaps a future as a firefighter isn't too far off?

Yes, Brad Pitt is Looking Totally Hot for Chanel No. 5 (Photos)Sunny Chanel
You are welcome. For what you may ask? For this stellar collection of sexy, stunning and sultry photos of Brad Pitt in celebration of his new job as the face of Chanel N°5.
Brad Pitt is following in the footsteps of such lovely ladies as Coco Chanel, Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve, Lauren Hutton, Nicole Kidman and Audrey Tautou. One thing that he doesn't have in common with his predecessors? He's a boy. Yes, it's an interesting choice but one that I think will work – an icon as the face of another icon.
"What's important to remember about Chanel N°5 is how revolutionary this fragrance is; when it was introduced, it broke all the rules," Brad said. "N°5 has always been the most iconic women's fragrance. That's what I see being the appeal of this campaign; it goes beyond the abstract of emotion or beauty to evoke what is timeless: a woman's spirit."
Brad posed for print ads as well as a TV ads, and you can get a sneak peek of the ads, the photos, behind the scenes of the shoot and the ad itself right here.
Again, yes you are welcome.

It's no secret that President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act has hit some major roadblocks, but he's hoping a little help from his celebrity friends will get the public interested again.
The Commander-in-Chief enlisted People's Sexiest Man Alive Adam Levine as the frontman for the new "Tell a Friend- Get Covered" initiative launching today (December 12).
Fans of "The Voice" have every reason to teeter on the edge of their seats: the popular NBC has just released its season 5 finalists on Tuesday (December 10).
He's arguably the hottest guy on the planet these days, but even Adam Levine isn't above correction.
During his interview on the " Ellen DeGeneres Show," the "Harder to Breathe" hunk was tricked into reading his tweet from March 5, 2011 in which he declared, "I also would like to put an official ban on celebrity fragrances, punishable by death from this point forward."
They're the leading men, the lead singers, and the testosterone-fueled creatives we love to swoon over, and this Thanksgiving, GossipCenter is thankful for the hunks of Hollywood.
Check out top 10 favorite men below!
Continuing to fully embrace his new title, Adam Levine stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to reflect on being People's Sexiest Man Alive.
On Wednesday evening (November 20), the Maroon 5 singer "officially" accepted the award in front of Kimmel's LA audience and gave a laugh-inducing speech.
Tinseltown is filled with plenty of good looking men, but there is only one lucky guy that gets to take home the title of Sexiest Man Alive for the year 2013.
Decided on by People magazine, this year's chosen man goes to none other than Maroon 5 front man, Adam Levine!
He always has a ton of irons in the fire, but Adam Levine made time chat with Savannah Guthrie on the "Today" show this morning (November 15).
Looking quite cozy on a chilly day in the Big Apple, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo stepped out for a stroll on Thursday (November 14).
The Victoria's Secret Angel looked great in a furry black coat with Jules Heeled Biker Boot by AllSaints as she wrapped her arm around her hunky fiancée, who smiled in a gray coat, ripped jeans, and "Los Angeles" baseball cap.

The true horror of climate change hits northeastern India:
In hundreds of households women are now compelled to take up weaving, daily-wage labour and other related activities to make ends meet, and in many areas, women of the households are taking up fishing …
It doesn't get much worse than this. We deniers have a lot of apologising to do.
FISH UPDATE. Flick to page 36 for a perfect Christmas gift idea: lifelike fibreglass barramundi, finished in automotive acrylic and costing just $10 per centimetre.
Andrew Cappo, the Darwin artist responsible, also preserves mudcrabs.
Have Your Say
Fri 14 Dec 12 (02:53pm)
"Climate Change Will Ravage Indian Fish Stocks"
Fri 14 Dec 12 (03:10pm)
Good grief, what a mess! Things must be really bad. Fancy the poorer women of India having to work. Unbelievable!
Fri 14 Dec 12 (03:24pm)
"The Tim Blairs, they've got some explaining to do..."
Fri 14 Dec 12 (03:32pm)
Lack of rainfall and floods, a deadly combination. That climate change will have to be tackled world-wide with trillions of dollars, starting with the pocket of the UN (and Tim Flannery). /sarc
Fri 14 Dec 12 (03:57pm)
And that is different from the situation before the outbreak of hysteria how exactly?
Fri 14 Dec 12 (04:10pm)
Today's reading is from St Peter's Epistle to the Fishermen : "God does not deduct from man's allotted span those hours spent in fishing"
Fri 14 Dec 12 (04:24pm)
So, there has been a decrease in the average rainfall. There has been a rise in the frequency of drought-like situation but there has been disruption of communication for prolonged period of time as a result of excessive floods
Damn those wet floody droughts. I never knew Alabama was any where near India, or that climate change was rampant in 1894,
"rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry, sun so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry"
You are probably familiar with that song if you are a certain vintage, but follow the link and check out the original non PC version of the lyrics. They would lock him up forever if he wrote it now.
Fri 14 Dec 12 (04:46pm)
Wait, so the women are compelled to do the jobs men are expected to do, rather than just staying at home barefoot and pregnant? If so, can we credit climate change as a great force for feminism?
Fri 14 Dec 12 (04:47pm)
So,I imagine India will be the first country to try and get their nose in the trough for the UN hand out.I had wondered who'd be first.It would be interesting to ask the scholars in India,a country a few thousand years old--Have they any record of past climate upheaval? I read that the Sahara Desert was once a
forest-Was the author telling fibs? You can't have it both
Fri 14 Dec 12 (04:54pm)
Sat 15 Dec 12 (05:40am)
Brian, at one time long ago, the lower Sahara was part of the Atlantic Ocean. In the very lower Algeria and northern Mali there are ancient seashells scattered across the desert floor, particularly around the town of Tamanrasset.
You left out the good bit Tim - forget about the weaving and fishing:
… the economic conditions of several households which have also made young girls from the tea garden areas vulnerable to flesh trade ...
It appears that global warming causes prostitution!
Fri 14 Dec 12 (05:25pm)
It just gets more juvenile by the day.
Fri 14 Dec 12 (05:53pm)
Uneven rainfall affecting rural Indians who are solely dependent on small-holding agriculture for a living? This is unprecedented. India has never suffered droughts, floods or famine before. Ever.
And I think it raises the question about the role that Tony Abbott's playing.
Fri 14 Dec 12 (06:35pm)
Preserves mudcrabs??
Fri 14 Dec 12 (07:01pm)
Fri 14 Dec 12 (11:37pm)
Sat 15 Dec 12 (12:52am)
Let's see him try it with a whale
Since Reagan's death unemployment has skyrocketed, as has the nation's debt, as has the homeless, never mind the catastrophic consequences for ordinary people from the likes of Hurricane Katrina.
My god, some people like Michael (the rich man) Moore are just too insensitive for words.
Fri 14 Dec 12 (07:01pm)
Bay of Bengal Bugle reports that 'Women gain right to fish, weave and day labour!"
Fri 14 Dec 12 (07:15pm)
The writer of this dreadful piffle is probably an ESL speaker/writer. Nevertheless I can't help but smile at the tortured English used to produce the gem "excesive flooding brood(ing) ill..". It is a classic:
Even otherwise, disruption of communication for prolonged period of time as a result of excessive floods broods ill more for girls who are often forced to drop out of schools and colleges.
Fri 14 Dec 12 (07:17pm)
It is a very lovely barramundi.
Fri 14 Dec 12 (07:43pm)
Ah, the first picture of the Abrams! The Power and the Glory! Enough to make and old Tankie/Cavalry man's heart soar!
(Brought to you by the retired RAAC mambers. Upper case intentional.)
Fri 14 Dec 12 (07:50pm)
Fri 14 Dec 12 (10:27pm)
Abrams, the lesser choice ...
Sat 15 Dec 12 (05:45am)
And as soon as they laager up they get all paranoid and need grunts to come and look after them.
I rather think that that the poor women of Assam have always gone in for weaving and fishing to supplement family incomes, haysey. I suspect this is just special pleading on the part of the authors of the report, who were probably commissioned by the Indian or local state government in order to build a case for compensation from the first world.

I'm trying to write a script that will audit shared folders on a few HIPAA-sensitive servers. I'm getting a list of shares just fine using
gwmi Win32_Share, however when I go to get the permissions on each share using
gwmi Win32_LogicalShareSecuritySetting, the hidden administrative shares are not listed.
I realize that's for obvious reasons, it's not like the permissions change, but I would like some kind of indication that this is in fact an administrative share. Currently I'm using a try-catch block to handle the error and kicking out a 'permissions could not be found' message.
Is there any way I can list ONLY hidden administrative shares using PowerShell?

Mississippi Democrats have chosen two new nominees to challenge Republican incumbents in the state's 3rd and 4th Districts in the Nov. 6 election.
Democratic chairman Rickey Cole says the party will ask the state Election Commission to put the names of Vicki Slater of Madison on the 3rd District ballot and Matthew Moore of Biloxi on the 4th District ballot.
Cole says Michael Herrington of Hattiesburg withdrew from the 4th District race, as did Crystal Biggs of Florence in the 3rd District.
Republican incumbents are Gregg Harper in the 3rd District and Steven Palazzo in the 4th District.

Baby, it's cold outside. But no matter. We're embracing our inner polar bear and gathering around a roaring bonfire for some flame-kissed fun, food and games—and invite you to do the same. Whether you're planning a hot date with your honey or just want to get cozy with 40 of your closest friends, here's our guide to a blazing good time.
Plan Your Bonfire Party
- Pick a spot. Check nearby beaches and parks for after-hours or off-season availability. Review local ordinances for regulations—you may need a permit for a bonfire, even in your own backyard—and find out how far in advance you need to reserve a site. Make sure the area is spacious, with no nearby buildings, and free of debris and hazards such as trees and electrical cables.
- Choose a date. Check long-term weather forecasts. Look for a night with a full moon. The light will be better, and the werewolves might provide some late-night entertainment.
- Choose a theme (or not). Winter Luau, Survivor or the classic Drumand-Dance-Around-the-Fire are all fine party themes. Design your invitation accordingly, or create a mock-up of a matchbook.
Safety First
Yes, that's in caps, because we're shouting at you. You're combining volatile elements—fire and fun—and you're responsible for the safety of your guests and your party spot. It should go without saying, but we're saying it anyway: Have a water supply and fire extinguisher close by, just in case. Bring a flashlight with working batteries, a cell phone (in case you have to dial 911), a shovel for covering the fire with sand or dirt, and a first-aid kit. Do not under any circumstances leave a fire, even a smoldering one, unattended. We know you'll be careful.
Build Your Bonfire
- Gather tinder, kindling and small, medium and large logs. You'll need lots. It's best to contact a supplier at least two weeks before your party to arrange for logs of different lengths. Hardwoods such as hickory or oak are best.
- Dig a wide shallow pit about 5 feet in diameter and 1 foot deep at the center of the circle.
- Start your blaze small, with tight bundles of tinder—thin twigs, bark, abandoned bird nests. Arrange the bundles in the center of the pit.
- Place kindling crosswise on top of the tinder. These should be twigs 8 to 10 inches long, slender enough to snap across your knee.
- Atop the kindling, place the two smallest logs. Place two more atop them at right angles, creating a frame. Fill the space in the center with additional kindling.
- With longer logs, form a tripod around the pile. Fill empty spaces with additional kindling.
- Keep adding logs to the tripod, using longer pieces as you go, to create a tepee-like shape. Leave a space at the bottom so you can reach in with a long match and light the tinder.
- As the fire burns, add more tinder, kindling and logs in the same aforementioned fashion.
- Do not add any products treated with salt, rubber, glue, plastic or foam to your bonfire. Do not use charcoal lighter fluid, aerosol products or combustible liquids to start your fire.
- When you leave, be sure to cover embers with sand or dirt so the fire is properly extinguished.
Bonfire Food and Recipe Ideas
There's nothing more comforting—or deliciously primal—than cooking in the glow of a dancing bonfire. Stick with simple menu items and tools that harken back to childhood campfires. Heavy-duty aluminum foil, water-soaked wooden skewers, a freestanding grill grate, sturdy twigs and a tough enameled Dutch oven are good choices. (Avoid the straightened wire hanger—it's often coated with nasty stuff that melts.) A few ideas for your menu:
- Remove a Camembert round from its wooden package and wrapping. Soak the wooden package in water; replace the cheese and top with honey and rosemary. Cook the cheese-filled package in the fire just until the box starts to char; carefully remove from the fire and serve the delicious, gooey contents with crusty bread and sliced fresh or dried fruit.
- Make a hearty soup, stew or chili at home and reheat in a Dutch oven over the embers.
- Pierce baking or sweet potatoes and microwave until just soft (check every two minutes). Then wrap each individually in foil; cook in the fire on a grate or in a Dutch oven over the embers until done. Serve potatoes with melted butter, sour cream, snipped fresh herbs, ground dried chilies and bacon.
- Wrap buttered and seasoned salmon fillets in buttered tinfoil, then several layers of wet newspaper. Place in the fire and cook about 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Carefully remove charred paper and serve in foil.
- Precook fresh vegetables at home; wrap in buttered foil and reheat on a grate in the fire.
- Wrap purchased garlic bread in foil (remove original packaging) and heat over ash-covered coals.
- A delicious idea for apples: Core, fill with butter and sweetened ricotta, and bake in foil.
- Don't forget the drinks! Offer your guests a steaming mug of goodness and they'll swoon with gratitude. Irish coffee, mulled cider, kicked-up hot chocolate, hot buttered rum and hot toddies warm you from the inside out.
