Montana University System (MUS)
The Montana University System (MUS) is committed to facilitating the ease of undergraduate student transfer to its campuses. Therefore, all campuses in the Montana University System will recognize the integrity of general education programs offered by units of the Montana University System and the three publicly supported community colleges in Montana, the seven tribal colleges and regionally accredited independent colleges in the State of Montana.
Block Transfer Policy
Undergraduate students who have completed an approved general education program of between 30 and 45 lower division credit hours at one of the institutions noted above and who transfer to another of those institutions will be deemed to have met the lower division general education requirements of the campus to which the students have transferred. The student may be required to take additional coursework at the upper division level that is part of an approved general education program at the new campus.
The Montana University System Core
Students that have completed less than 20 general education credits will be required to complete the approved general education program at the campus to which they transfer. All general education transfer credits that are part of the MUS Core will be reviewed for possible application in the approved general education program at the campus.
Students who have completed 20 or more MUS core credits, but do not satisfy the block transfer policy described in the preceding section may choose to complete either the MUS core or the approved general education program at the campus to which they transfer. The student should make that decision in consultation with a faculty advisor.
The Montana Transferable Core Curriculum represents an agreement among community, tribal, and publicly funded colleges and universities in the State of Montana. It assures the transfer of up to 30 semester credits for those students enrolled in courses prescribed within each of eight discipline areas at a participating host institution. The eight discipline areas are:
Satisfactory completion of the courses listed in the Transferable Core Curriculum will permit the student to receive credit equivalent to the lowerdivision degree requirements of the receiving college or university. When transferred as a core of 30 semester credits, nearly half of the receiving institution's general education core requirements may be satisfied.
Depending upon the major program into which the student transfers, additional lower division requirements may still be necessary for the transfer student to complete as part of the published programmatic prerequisites. This limitation means that, even though a transfer student may satisfy the basic requirements of the Montana University System general education transfer policy, his/her specific program of study may require additional and specialized courses in one or some of the six (6) disciplines listed above. To earn the degree, transfer students will have to complete those specialized courses.
Consequently, in selecting general education coursework for transfer, a student may wish to use the following guide:

Chocolate Covered Bananas - Easy - Secret Recipe Club
Time again for a recipe from the Secret Recipe Club. This is my fourth participation, so as not to bore you yet again with the rules take a look at my previous SRC recipe.
My secret blog assignment is Fantastical Sharing of Recipes. The lovely person who writes this blog states that her name is Sarah, but asks to be called anything but. So I will respectfully call her FSR. Anyway, lovely FSR uses her blog to share recipes. Many of her recipes look absolutely wonderful and her photos are delicious. I'm a sucker for anything chocolate, and (probably because Valentine's Day recently blew past) there is a mother-lode of great recipes of the chocolate persuasion. I could probably spend almost every day until next February 14th making a dessert recipe without (much) repeating.
As usual when the SRC reveal date starts to sneak up on me, I was short on time and needed to select a very quick and massively easy recipe. Semi-healthy would be nice, but optional. Luckily I found both in Mini Chocolate Dipped Bananas. I just happen to like bananas almost as much as chocolate. Almost.
Four ingredients, if you count the lollipop sticks (which I used), nut topping (which I didn't) and melting chocolate (which I subbed). The lollipop sticks are optional but make dipped bananas more fun to eat. Without them, tho, you would simply have the banana equivalent of a Klondike Bar.
Mini Chocolate Dipped Bananas- Easy
Slightly adapted from Fantastical Sharing of Recipes
Yield: 12 servings
3 firm but ripe bananas
2 cups melting chocolate (or 2 cups chocolate chips mixed with 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening)
1/2 cup nuts of your choice, finely chopped (optional)
12 lollipop or popsicle sticks
Line a small baking sheet or large freezer-safe plate with wax paper; set aside.
|Almost totally, dude!
Place melting chocolate (or chips and shortening) in a small bowl. Microwave at full power for 30-second intervals, stirring between each, just until chocolate is almost totally melted.
Remove bowl from microwave and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted.
Remove frozen bananas from freezer immediately before the the next step. If bananas start to defrost before dipping, they will start to sweat and get soft and mushy. And not in a good way.
|Dip da-dip dip dip!
Holding the stick, dip bananas in chocolate just up to stick to completely enrobe. Gently tap against side of bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Since the bananas are frozen the chocolate with set up fast so if you are using nuts, immediately dip or roll pop in nuts. Either way, return pop to pan/plate. Pop banana pops back into freezer for 10 minutes.
|You kidding me? They never made it back into the freezer.
If not serving right away, transfer to a freezer safe container or a ziploc bag until you are about ready to enjoy.

Indiana Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy Campus Programs
Graduate students or current professionals who are looking to specialize in the field of Counseling Psychology might be interested in earning a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy on Campus, which is a very fast-growing field.
Marriage and Family Therapists diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders, whether cognitive, affective, or behavioral, within the context of marriage and family systems. Whereas in general counseling psychology the individual is the center of focus, MFT professionals deal with the family or marital couple as the client. They apply top psychotherapeutic and family systems theories and techniques to individuals, couples, and families for the purpose of best treating their issues, whether diagnosed emotional or mental disorders.
A Marriage and Family Therapy PhD program is also a great way for professionals to deepen one aspect of working with marriages and couples, for instance, they may want to specialize in treating Veterans or families with members who are critically ill, a specialty called Medical Family Therapy. Other common areas of specialization are children and adolescents, couples counseling or pastoral counseling, which would take a theological perspective to deal with marriages and families.
Choosing a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy on Campus PhD MFT Program
Searching for a campus PhD program in Marriage and Family Therapy is made easier if you use the location tabs on GradSchools.com. This way, you get a list of colleges and universities in a particular city, state or country.
Studying on campus offers face-to-face interactions with professors and classmates. This comes in handy, since most PhD programs in Marriage and Family Therapy are research intensive, and usually involve meeting with faculty to discuss your findings. Plus, you get access to all the facilities that the school has. Sometimes colleges have support services that are able to assist you in terms of career search as well.
Since Doctorate degrees in MFT may require about 1000 hours, an internship, practicum and dissertation, finding a campus that meets your criteria is important. Compare schools by requesting information on the site, this way you are able to make a list with things like admission requirements, tuition, curriculum and faculty. Some of the listings you might be reviewing might include: Marriage and Family Therapy DMFT, Doctor of Couple and Family Therapy, PsyD Marital and Family Therapy, and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy
Choosing a Campus Based PsyD PhD MFT DMFT Degree
Typically, a doctorate level MFT program has several components: clinical practice, teaching/supervision, and research. The programs may vary between schools, so it is best not to verify exact curriculums, however, there are 3 main designations for degrees at this level. You should choose a degree that will help bring you towards your vocational aspirations. Perhaps you are have been a counseling professional for a while and are now ready for a role in academia, or managing a team of therapists. Or, you are ready to learn new skills in order to enter this growing niche counseling market.
If you are interested in MFT teaching, researching, supervising or practicing, a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy is considered the track to clinical teaching and leadership. For instance, you might be prepared for a role such as Clinical Services Director or Advanced Clinical Specialist.
Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy on Campus
If you are interested in understanding behavior without losing sight of the individual, a PsyD in Marriage and Family Therapy may provide present counselors the opportunity to broaden their skill-sets in dealing with couples and family units. For instance, you might become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).
The Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT) degree is less research focused that other PhD counseling programs, and gives students the tools for working in private practice, or for a government agency
Potential Career Trends in Marriage and Family Therapy
Graduates with a PhD level education in Marriage and Family Therapy are highly-trained mental health professionals who bring a family-oriented perspective and treatment approach to health care, and issues that are related to mental, emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal disorders. Some of the relationship issues that might affect the family dynamic and communication between loved ones, include:
- Premarital issues
- Relationship issues
- Separation and Divorce
- Children and Adolescents in the family
- Substance abuse issues
- Behavioral issues
- Depression, anxiety
- Chronic disease
- Military families
- Anger management
- Job dissatisfaction
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Marriage and Family Therapist are employed in:
Outpatient Care Centers: MFTs in this setting might provide carious clinical services such as leading group therapy sessions, or case management
Inpatient Care Facilities and Hospitals: An MFT in this environment might work with a team of doctors or other healthcare personnel
Offices of Health Practitioners: This is one of the top industries of employment for MFT professionals
Schools: A doctorate degree in marriage and family therapy entitles a professional to work in academia as an undergraduate or graduate professor, or researcher at a college or university. It also means that some MFT's might work in schools to counsel parents with troubled children for instance
Social Service Agencies: Hired as government workers, they may take on administrative roles in agencies that provides social services to children, youth and families
Private Practice" Many MFTs see clients in their own offices for a variety of reasons that plague couples and family units
Ready To Pursue a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapists face many potential opportunities of employment. With experience, further training, and education, new areas or advancement with a current organization is a possibility. Why not begin your search for the right PhD program in this growing field on GradSchools.com

Why does Puppy run in root?
I've been using Ubuntu for a year now, and am thinking to slim down to something smaller and faster for my older laptop. Puppy is definitely one of my top choices, but I am wondering why it runs in root? Sounds sort of risky and unnecessary. Is there some benefit to doing it this way?

The site you refer me to assumes that the user is booting from a livecd every time they use puppy linux: "As long as Puppy starts from CD-ROM (and is not installed on the harddrive) the program-files and system-files are secure." Well, what if one is planning to install puppy on the hard drive, as I am? Is it then dangerous and insecure? I tried a few key words in the search window-- like "root", "user", "security", but did not find out anything further on this topic. If one is going to use puppy, is it preferable to boot always from cd or external medium? I would find this rather inconvenient I think. I would like to have a distro which I can install on my hard drive.

you can encrypt your savefile using the frugal installation, and run seamonkey as unprivileged user.
Imho this is more secure than using another distro with full installation.

Disclaimer: I'm all for having better multi-user support in Puppy, so long as it isn't forced on the user.
Swarup, you posted while I was typing. I'm not going to go through and fix my post to take into account yours and MU's. Instead, I'll just address it now and then leave my original post unchanged following it.
If you boot puppy with the
puppy pfix=ram
option, it will boot up completely pristine, as though you had never run it on that computer before. Otherwise, Puppy will look to see if you have a pup_save.2fs file, which you can opt to create when you first reboot. If it detects one, it will load it. All changes you make will be stored in that file, including changed system files. Next boot those changed files will be loaded, unless you use the pfix=ram option. So if you get compromised, you can boot with pfix=ram and make a new save file. You can even mount the old one and extract important data, so long as you're careful to check that it's non-compromised data (or clean it up if it isn't).
This applies to Live-CD, Frugal-HD, and USB installs. Full-HD installs are different (and no more "full" either, just words...) Full-HD installs work just like you'd expect a normal distro to work. You can't make them not save, and if they are compromised you must either restore a backup, repair the individual errors, or reinstall from scratch. They also won't load the original files into RAM, making access times slightly worse for most people (but probably not very noticeable). Some people will point out that they also offer better RAM usage because of this, but that is not always true. Since Puppy 4, a Frugal install can be given the pfix=noram option, which will mount the pup_xxx.sfs file from the harddrive. So that negates the faster access times, but allows you to function in a low-ram machine. The same thing will automatically happen in ANY Puppy if Puppy determines that you don't have enough ram to load the pup_xxx.sfs file into it and still have some left over for working.
Original post:
That page Lobster linked to is misleading. It makes it appear that, under normal usage conditions, the core programs will be pristine with every boot. This is not so. The original copy of those programs remains pristine, but if you have a pup_save.2fs file (which the vast majority of users will have) then any compromised system files will be saved in that and loaded over the originals each boot. Booting with
puppy pfix=ram
will of course allow you to boot into a completely pristine and almost certainly uncompromised Puppy, but the rest of the time you face just as much risk of having compromised system files as you do running as root in another distro.
A difference from other distros is that Puppy is much much easier to reinstall. And you have to remember, whether you run as root or not, your personal data is equally vulnerable.
Thus, if one remains vigilant to ensure that nothing has been compromised, Puppy will be little different from any other distro. You can argue that you don't need to be so vigilant in others, but you actually do. If someone doesn't keep an eye on the files their non-root user owns to make sure they are clean, yet complain that running as root is insecure, he/she is a moron. A hacker has an easier time if they have access to root, but there's still a good amount they can do from a limited account. Example: they simply use you as a carrier by sticking a windows virus into that email you're sending to your family, who has yet to convert to Linux... A limited user probably has enough permissions to become a zombie, albeit only when that user is logged in (which for a single-user machine will be most of the time). Then there's the ID-theft aspect, since they have access to all your personal data.
I don't deny that a limited user is more secure than root, but not by enough to worry about it in Puppy. In other distros that take longer to repair this may not be the case. Get compromised in Puppy? Just drop your pup_save.2fs file and start a new one. You can mount the old file and retrieve any needed data (thoroughly cleaning it first of course) and be on your feet just as fast as somebody who had to drop a limited user in a big distro. Sure, your system files were compromised, unlike theirs, but by scrapping the old pup_save.2fs file you are granted completely pristine files.
So to me, the only valid complaints are with respect to actual MULTI-USER situations. Sharing with a family for example. Puppy does have some support for this (every person can have his/her own optionally encrypted pup_save file), but it isn't as nice as true multi-user. On some ways it's superior though (each user is much more isolated - they all get to be "root" of their own little worlds). The biggest sore point is that they all have permission to simply delete another person's save file, even if they can't mount it (due to encryption). Of course, limited users don't prevent people from booting via live-cd and wiping everything out either, unless you set up your bios properly and then lock up the case...
One thing to note: the pup_save.2fs and pristine files related things are not relevant for a Full-Install. For those, if you are compromised you won't be able to just drop your pup_save.2fs file because you won't have one. You'll have to either restore a backup or reinstall Puppy. Fortunately, Puppy is a pretty fast install even for a Full-Install. Only ~200 MB. Full-Install users also won't get the nifty encrypted save file deal, making literal multi-user capability very weak.
Sorry for the slightly fragmented post, and for the repetition that I think I had.

I am curious as to how these are actually done? Also, do you know whether there have been reports in this forum (or elsewhere?) that someone has been compromised in Puppy and what actually happened? (ie not where there is external access, like the websites getting hacked, but just a normal computer running a firewall and no remote access functions) I've googled/searched, but I don't find anything very specific.

The main benefit of Puppy running as root is ease of use, it is crafted to be small and fast and easy for people who are used to running Windows to use. I think it achieved that.
Your question seems somewhat strange to me as the *buntus give the user "ALL" permissions in sudo. Making it about the same as Puppy except in Puppy you don't have to type sudo along with a command. I think they chose to go the "sudo" way for reasons similar to Puppy's. Consequently, from a security point of view, they are pretty much the same. Except, with Puppy you can choose no persistence so next boot you again have a pristine system even if you were compromised on the previous boot.

Thanks for all the info from everyone on this point. I think the most forceful point for me is that puppy is so small and easy to install, that if something happens it really doesn't matter. --Just reinstall puppy. I'll be keeping a separate data partition anyway. So my concerns for now are quelled. I shall go ahead and install puppy, and see what fun comes my way!

I'm going to get a bit philosophical here. There's a big difference between something that
plausibly happen in certain circumstances, and what actually
happen (or has happened) in the real world. I notice that a lot of people get the two confused.
As I see it, Puppy has been around long enough for there to be a body of real-world experience on the safety/danger of running as root.
I figure that, if running as root were as hazardous as we've been told, Puppy forums would be full of messages about compromised systems - far more than on, say, Ubuntu forums. And as far as I can tell, that's not happening.
So I'm quite comfortable to go on running as root.

I've only seen one, where the poster was certain of being compromised & gave some details ('bout a year ago).
Don't think it went any further than that & can't find it.

Makes a lot of sense to me. Why go on yelling "fire, fire!" when there isn't even any smoke? People on the Ubuntu forums will always warn you not to work unnecessarily in root because of the inherent dangers involved in doing so. Well, like you say-- why isn't this puppy forum filled with cries of anguish about what happened all these years with thousands of people working continuously in root?

The main danger for the user running as root is the user him/herself. You are far more likely to screw up your own system than have someone hack you and screw up your system. Also, as has been said here, most non-root distros give you sudo. If your non-root account gets compromised, the hacker then types sudo+evil_command and does whatever s/he wants.
The use of sudo only makes the user think twice before doing something stupid, it does nothing to stop the hacker.
As an aside, is anyone else noticing the large amount of interest in the security of running as root?

A stunning challenge has been issued in the argument over Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, and it comes from a lead investigator for Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, Ariz.
Arpaio's team of volunteer professional law enforcement officers and attorneys concluded after a six-month investigation that there is probable cause that forgery and fraud were committed in the process through which Obama released a "Certificate of Live Birth" image at the White House last year.
Arpaio has assured those interested that the investigation is continuing and earlier suggested that the appropriate avenue might be for Congress to begin an investigation.
The challenge came from lead investigator Mike Zullo, who was interviewed by the CBS Channel 5 affiliate in Phoenix. Reporter Heather Moore pointed out that it was Zullo's name and face that was being attached to the investigative report, and she asked how comfortable was he making the allegations.
"Very comfortable," he said, citing experts the investigators consulted during their 2,200 hours of work. "You can build the document. You can't do that if you scan [a document],"
NOTE: In case you missed the news conference of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's "Cold Case Posse," you can view it here.
Then she asks what he would say to "naysayers" who claim the allegations are just a bunch of "B.S."
"Prove it," he said. "We did."
He added, "We proved our point. That document's created."
Specifically, he said the image that was released by Obama never was an original hard copy that was scanned, as the White House described. It was instead, he said, an idea created in a computer.
The CBS affiliate report already has had more than half a million views, meaning that the response the station got from the White House on the issue, a reference to a year-old statement by Obama that such issues are "side shows," may not be sufficient much longer.
Arpaio, at his original news conference announcing the results, said he was not accusing Obama of any crime.
But he said the evidence uncovered shows "violations of the law. We're investigating those crimes."
At that time, the posse confirmed it has identified at least one person of interest in the alleged forgery of Obama's birth certificate.
In fact, Zullo reported, "We have identified the computer manufacturer, [and] where that document resided 20 minutes before it was uploaded onto the White House website."
The issue of Obama's birth certificate centers on his eligibility to be president, since the Constitution requires that a president be a "natural-born citizen."
The term is not defined in the Constitution, but at the time the document was written, many experts believe it referred to the offspring of two citizens of the country. Some critics say the place of birth is irrelevant, since Obama has written that Barack Obama Sr., his father, never was a U.S. citizen.
The posse also said evidence suggests the Hawaii Department of Health has engaged in a systematic effort to hide from public inspection any original 1961 birth records it may have in its possession.
Arpaio launched the investigation at the request of 250 of his constituents. He assigned it to independent volunteers so that taxpayers would bear none of the costs of the investigation.

Smoked Salmon Roll Ups Recipes
Salmon Tortilla Pinwheel Appetizers
Salmon wasabi pinwheels are super easy to make. I prepared wasabi and dill-flavored cream cheese in advance and stored them in the refrigerator until dinner time. The assembling part is so simple a child could roll them. In fact, that's exactly what we did. I let the kids prepare the rolls and then slice them into bite-sized pieces. We secured the cute appetizers with fancy hors d'oeuvre picks.
For those who can tolerate a little bit of heat, I topped the appetizers with wasabi flavored peanuts to repeat the same flavors from the filling. My husband Lulu brought them back from a recent trip to Texas. Lulu knows what a foodie I am so he always tries to find new products for me to experiment with. It's not all that altruistic though, since he's usually the beneficiary of these creations. Don't I have the sweetest husband?

Here at icouldbe.org, we're excited to watch one of our new mentoring partnerships unfold with the University of British Columbia (UBC). Funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, and through the use of our own online platform, Aboriginal students in British Columbia (BC) are being paired right now with online mentors!
The UBC Faculty of Medicine, UBC eHealth Strategy Office, and a handful of BC school districts and First Nations communities are working together to connect university students with young aboriginal students in the province.
Aboriginal youth are significantly underrepresented in post-secondary education, especially in fields of health science. This eMentoring program aims to increase representation by supporting young aboriginal students to develop mentoring relationships with university students currently pursuing careers in health. This online mentoring relationship gives these youth someone to turn to, ask questions of, and gain an understanding about a health-related school choices and potential career options. Mentors can support discussions related to future challenges and opportunities such as time management and exploring post-secondary opportunities as well as provide positive role modeling for Aboriginal youth. The program will target grades 6-12 to allowing students to consider their aspirations early and ensure that students will have the potential to pursue their academic and career plans as they graduate from high school.
Not only will all mentoring take place online, but the program also boasts some changes from icouldbe.org's traditional curriculum to accommodate Aboriginal culture, beliefs and traditions. The adapted curriculum is called an eMentoring Personal Quest (pictured below) and is divided into nine units, starting with first impressions and online safety and finishing with the transition to post-secondary education. Along the way, mentors will help their mentees gain the necessary confidence and skills to pursue a degree after high school.
Program funding began in April 2010, the online platform went live this past September, and the project has been full speed ahead since November, already well on its way to surpass a goal to recruit 50 mentors and 100 mentees. We are so excited to have the opportunity to work in such a unique partnership and broaden our own knowledge of mentoring within different communities and cultures!

Skyfire has announced via its official that it is working on a version of their Flash-to-H.264 transcoding browser specifically for the iPad.
Skyfire is a web browser application that was launched last week for the iPhone and opens up flash videos to iOS users. The browser does not actually play flash video. When users click on a page that contains Flash video, Skyfire's servers download, render and translate the video into HTML 5 which can be viewed natively on iOS devices. Because of this, performance is highly dependent on Skyfire's server load. This was plainly visible last week when the servers ground to a halt due to such high demand. This resulted in Skyfire pulling the app from the iTunes store. It is now starting to roll out again in various countries.
You can install the iPhone version on your iPad now, however it does not look great visually due to the pixel doubling. If you have used the iPhone version let us know what you think.
No news as to when we can expect the iPad version yet, or if it will be a universal application, we will keep you informed as soon as we know for sure.

DETROIT - Convicted killer Stephen Grant lost his final appeal in state court, leaving intact his 50 - 80-year prison sentence for the 2007 murder and mutilation of his wife, Tara.
In an order released Tuesday morning, the Michigan State Supreme court ruled that it agreed with a lower courts decision that found Grant was not unduly prejudiced by pre-trial publicity in the widely covered case.
The court also ruled that Grant was not improperly denied access to an attorney before making a police confession.
On Dec. 21, 2008, a Macomb County jury found Grant, 38, guilty of second-degree murder after he confessed to strangling Tara Grant, cutting her body apart with saw blades and leaving some of her body parts in Stony Creek Metro Park.
Grant will be eligible for parole when he turns 88. Until then, he remains in Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility in Ionia, Mich.
Jailhouse Conversations | Grant Love Letters | Grant Sentencing
Grant's Chilling Hospital Confession
Stephen Grant made the confession in question in 2007 from a hospital bed more than 200 miles from the Washington Township home he fled just weeks after reporting his wife missing.
March 2, 2007, the same time police searched the Grant home and found Tara Grant's torso in the garage, Grant got into a pickup truck and headed upstate.
After a statewide manhunt, he was found the next day frostbitten and bewildered in Wilderness State Park in northern Michigan. He was taken to the hospital and treated for hypothermia.
While in the hospital, Grant told police that he and his wife were arguing in their house in early February 2007 over what he said were her frequent work trips, according to documents.
- Read confession here: Stephen Grant Confession.
- Read search warrant here: Search Warrants For Grant Home
She walked away, he said, and he grabbed her wrist. Tara Grant then slapped him in the face, causing a scratch to his nose.
Stephen Grant told police he then hit his wife hard in the head and she fell to the floor, and then he began to choke her.
He said he covered her face with a gray shirt or pair of underwear.
"She finally grabbed my hand at one point, but it was too late then and I couldn't stop," he said, according to the police report. "I knew I was going to prison. I panicked."
The jury heard the graphic, three-hour recorded confession during the murder trial. Police said Grant then took his wife's lifeless body to a family-owned tool and dye shop and mutilated her body. He scattered her remains in Stony Creek Metropark.
Medical examiners said some of Tara's remains are still missing, including part of her left leg, her right foot and a portion of her right arm.

Too bad about that mud, I had some of that today and I forgot what a pain it was to run through. Hope you get your snow and can get out there to enjoy it.
Yeah, but I also had a light windbreaker on. That was a bit much though, I was sweating quite a bit. Long sleeved shirt with a short sleeved one probably would have been adequate.

I'm pretty sure this is the case. I've received a ton a free 3 night offers from MGM properties. I have mostly booked well in advance and never had an issue getting all the rooms that were available for the promotion. Also, make sure that the days that you were booking are part of the promotion.

Texas has faith in Scheppers for Opening Day start
SAN ANTONIO -- The injuries were a problem, but beyond that, general manager Jon Daniels said he enjoyed Spring Training and was re-energized by what's taking place with the Rangers in player development.
That was reinforced by the announcement that four of the five spots in the Opening Day rotation will be filled by homegrown talent: Tanner Scheppers, Martin Perez, Robbie Ross Jr. and Nick Martinez.
SAN ANTONIO -- The injuries were a problem, but beyond that, general manager Jon Daniels said he enjoyed Spring Training and was re-energized by what's taking place with the Rangers in player development.
That was reinforced by the announcement that four of the five spots in the Opening Day rotation will be filled by homegrown talent: Tanner Scheppers, Martin Perez, Robbie Ross Jr. and Nick Martinez.
Scheppers had a particularly outstanding Spring Training, showing signs that he can develop into a top-of-the-rotation starter. The Rangers reinforced that belief by naming him as their starter on Opening Day -- 1:05 p.m. CT on Monday against the Phillies -- to replace Yu Darvish, who is starting the season on the disabled list with stiffness in his neck.
It is something that Scheppers couldn't imagine during a Spring Training where his goal was simply to make the rotation.
"No, not at all," Scheppers said. "This is definitely not what I expected. It's unfortunate for Darvish, but definitely excited for the opportunity, and I'm going to go out there and do what I know to do. It's a dream come true, and I'm really excited to go out there and pitch on Opening Day."
Scheppers didn't find out he would be the Opening Day starter until he was told by manager Ron Washington on Wednesday morning.
"He deserves it," Washington said. "He has a power arm, he's work hard and he's shown me that he has the stamina. He's pitched in a lot of pressure situations for us and done well. He has really thrown the ball well this spring."
The Rangers have always had high expectations for Scheppers since they took him with the 44th overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. Texas was fortunate Scheppers fell in its lap.
He was a top prospect as a pitcher at Fresno State, but a right shoulder injury cut short his junior year in 2008. Before he went down, Scheppers was 8-2 with a 2.93 ERA in 12 games for a Fresno State team that went on to win the College World Series. The injury dropped his Draft ranking; otherwise, he might have been a Top 10 pick.
The Pirates selected him in the second round of the 2008 Draft, but they couldn't sign him. Scheppers was pitching with the St. Paul Saints in the independent league in 2009, when the Rangers took him as a supplemental pick, which they received for losing free agent Milton Bradley. They went way over slot and paid a $1.25 million signing bonus to land him.
That was the same Draft the Rangers took Matt Purke in the first round, but they couldn't sign him. Coming away with Scheppers helped offset Purke.
"A lot of ups and downs, for sure," Scheppers said. "I think everything happens for a reason. I had a lot of experiences through time and it has put me in a position to be successful, and I feel like I can do it."
In the beginning, the Rangers weren't sure if Scheppers was better suited for starting or relief work. The issue seemed to be decided in 2011, when Scheppers came to Spring Training as a candidate to be in the rotation and he came down with a nerve injury in his back. It took him until mid-June to get healthy again, and the Rangers decided to develop him as a power reliever rather than push him as a starter.
That seemed to be a wise course. One year later, Scheppers was in the Rangers' bullpen, and in 2013, he developed into one of the best setup relievers in the game. He went 6-2 with a 1.88 ERA while holding opponents to a .214 batting average.
He also didn't rack up big strikeout numbers. Scheppers had problems early in his career getting his 96-plus-mph fastball down in the zone. But once he did that, he learned to be economical and pitch to contact. His 14.1 pitches per inning last season was tied for the fewest in the American League among pitchers with at least 70 innings. He also had the 22nd-highest ground-ball rate in the AL among that group.
That's going to be crucial, because there is still an unknown about how Scheppers will handle the stress and endurance test in his first full season as a starter. He is the first pitcher to make his first Major League start on Opening Day since Fernando Valenzuela with the Dodgers in 1981. But Scheppers has sought out the advice of Hall of Fame-bound special assistant Greg Maddux and others, and he believes he has an idea of what it will take to get through a full season.
"I think if I keep on my routine, I've got a lot of great people around me helping me out giving me tips and letting me know what I need to do to be successful and stay healthy," Scheppers said. "As long as I do that, I think everything else will take care of itself."
Pitching comes with risk in any situation, that's the nature of the position. But this is a right-hander who throws harder than any other pitcher on the team with a slider to go with it, and Scheppers is working on a changeup to round out his repertoire. If he can handle the workload with the same stuff he carried as a reliever, the Rangers may have something special.

The openly class warfare character of the Budget is the cause of establishment concern. Cutting public sector pay and jobs, cutting services as well as disability and housing benefits, while hiking VAT are a direct assault on the incomes and living standards of those on average incomes, workers and the poor. Doing this simultaneously with cutting the progressive Council tax, reducing employer's National Insurance, raising the threshold to £5 million for Capital Gains Tax and reducing the corporate tax rate towards 24% demonstrates who are the beneficiaries - businesses, high-earners and the wealthy.
This series of tax cuts also belies the idea that the paramount objective is to reduce the deficit. By FY 2014/15 these cuts, a transfer of wealth to business and the rich, will amount to £10.1bn annually. By contrast the hike in VAT alone will yield £13.5bn. By that time the reduction to benefits will amount £30bn per annum (all data from the Budget 2010 Redbook unless otherwise stated). Public sector pay will increase below inflation for those under £21,000 a year and be frozen completely for those above, a cut mounting to £3.3bn annually. More is threatened from a review by John Hutton, Blairite former minister for work and pensions.
This is a reordering of society and is neither intended to nor is likely to achieve deficit-reduction.
Attacks Compared
The comparison with the experience of Thatcherism is a useful one. After 10 years in office the first Thatcherites had reduced total managed expenditure (TME) by 5.9% of GDP, or by £83bn in contemporary prices. The coalition's aim is to reduce TME by 7.7% of GDP in 6 years, a real cut of £108bn. Even this understates the case since there are already cuts being enacted in this year of £8.9bn, for a total of £117bn.
But there is an important point glossed over in the official presentation of the Budget, which is that TME includes debt interest payments, which are clearly not government spending that provides services or creates jobs. These interest payments rise sharply over that 6-year period, by £36.6bn, so that the actual cuts to services, benefits, pay and jobs will be £145bn, or 10.3% of GDP. By contrast, Thatcher's annual debt interest payments fell, by today's equivalent of £17bn, which we will examine below. So her real cuts to government spending therefore amounted to 4.7% of GDP or £66bn in current terms over 10 years. Osborne, Cameron, Clegg and Cable are planning cuts of £145bn or 10.3% of GDP over 6 years. This is more than twice the real cuts of the first Thacherites, and will feel even worse. No wonder the Financial Times believes the Budget is 'risky'.
Further Lessons of Thatcherism
Tax cuts for business and the rich destroy any claim that the overriding priority is deficit-reduction. But history also demonstrates that cutting spending will not reduce the deficit. SEB has previously shown that Thatcher inherited a deficit of £8.75bn and produced average deficits of £9.00bn over the next 5 years. Similarly, the total debt level rose from £98bn to £157bn. The only reason that interest payments were finally lowered, was a result of the recovery later in the 1980s. Meanwhile, the deterioration in government finances during the first five years would have been much worse without the surge in government revenues from North Sea oil, which was an unforeseen bonanza.
In the chart below government revenues from North Sea oil are shown as a proportion of GDP, with Treasury forecasts for the next five years. An underlying measure of the government budget balance is also shown, which is the budget balance with the effects of the oil revenues removed. This underlying deficit initially rose under Thatcher, from 2.6% of GDP in the year before she took office to 2.8% and then 3.0% of GDP in the following 2 years. Surpluses were recorded in FYs 1982-84 before falling back into deficit once more. Throughout the entire period the economy generally and government finances in particular benefited from North Sea oil revenues, which were equivalent to 3.2% of GDP in the Financial Year (FY) 1984/85. This will not be repeated in this period.
Figure 1
Effects of Government Spending
Since government spending is both a component of GDP and a part forms a component of gross fixed capital formation (investment) in the national accounts, it is easy to see how reducing it depresses activity directly. But it also depresses private sector activity indirectly. This is because the output of all sectors of the economy requires the inputs of other sectors. Government output relies on the inputs of the private sector.
The table below is taken from the official analysis of the Input-Output tables from the ONS . The columns show the total output for each of the broad government sectors shown. These are always 1 because the purpose of the table is to show the relative impact on other sectors arising from 1 unit of output. So, £1bn of government output in education, healthcare and social work requires an input of £6mn in agriculture, £5mn in mining, £120mn in manufacturing and so on. It also requires £486mn in inputs from private firms operating in the same sector. The total demand of those other outputs and government output combined is £1.854bn, and 1.854 is the multiplier attached to this sector.
Table 1
Osborne & co. hope that the private sector will fill the gap left by the decline of public expenditure by increasing its own output and investment. The scale of the government and their own impact is one factor which makes this very unlikely. With an average multiplier across the public sector just below 1.8, his cuts of £145bn will reduce demand by £260bn, over 18% of GDP. The total contribution to GDP from all production, construction and service sectors of the economy has amounted to just 3.5% over the last five years.
The policy of the Thatcherites, old and new, is to 'crowd in' private sector activity. Access to service is determined by profit-maximisation and is then a function of income or wealth and consequently both the scope of services declines and their prices rise. This is illustrated by the fact that the NHS is a universal system at a cost of 8.3% of GDP, whereas 45million Americans do not have health care coverage and yet it consumes 16.3% of GDP. But for the Thatcherites an important goal for themselves would be achieved. Profit can be extracted from an area which had previously been in the public sector.
The existence of these multipliers also explains why cuts do not narrow the deficit, as Thatcher showed and the Dublin government amongst others is currently proving . While increased government spending in education, health and social work leads to increased total demand 1.854 times greater than the initial output, decreased government spending leads to a reduction in total demand by the same multiple. And it is this lower level of output which both depresses tax revenues and pushes up welfare-related spending as unemployment and impoverishment rise. As SEB has pointed out previously , the long-standing Treasury estimates is that of every rise/fall in output 75% is registered as a change in government finances, 50% tax revenues and 25% change in government spending (Treasury, Public Finances and the Cycle, Treasury Economic Working Paper No.5, November 2008 ).
So, a £1bn fall in output leads to a £750mn deterioration in government finances. But we have already seen that, without an increase in private sector investment and output, a cut in government spending of £1bn will lead to a fall of £1.8bn in total demand. The damage to government finances arising from the total fall in demand is 75% of£1.8bn. This is £1.35bn. This damage is greater than the initial cut of £1bn and therefore widens the deficit.
The same process works in reverse. A £1bn investment by government leads to £1.8bn rise in total demand, and a £1.35bn improvement in government finances follows. This is a net return of £350mn which could be used for further investment or to erode the deficit.
Why Do They Do It?
The argument that government investment can restore both economic activity and narrow the deficit will not be unfamiliar to readers of SEB, and it is becoming a little less rare in the wider economic debate. But the question is posed, why would policymakers set out to damage the economy in this way? Further, why would a government that clearly represents the interests of business and the rich, more accurately the capitalist class as a whole, be willing to sacrifice large chunks of that class, many of whom will be bankrupted by these extraordinarily large cuts?
There isn't space here to develop a rounded response to those questions. But the chart below illustrates the main theme. It is taken from the Bank of England's latest Quarterly Bulletin and shows labour's share of national income over time.
Chart 2described as engineering a 'crisis of capitalism which re-recreated a reserve army of labour and has allowed the capitalists to make high profits ever since'
Osborne said in his Budget Statement that reducing corporate tax rates to 24% would advertise that Britain was 'Open for Business'. The advert is a Primark one. Dublin and Reykjavik have the two lowest corporate tax rates in the OECD, while the weighted average is 35%. It advertises that Britain will be a low-tax, low-wage, low-growth, low-skill and low-investment economy, and is a part of programme that will deter significant large-scale investment. As one commentator at the time described 1980s Thatcherism 'Welcome to Slumsville'.
The duty to oppose such a policy both on the grounds of social justice and economic rationality is self-evident.

Miley Cyrus Releases Video Covering 'Look What They've Done to My Song'
Ready for some new Miley Cyrus music? To tide over fans until her album release, the singer has released a countrified video where she is covering Melanie Safka's 'Look What They've Done to My Song.'
The vid was filmed before the ex-'Hannah Montana' star lobbed off her hair, in what has been viewed as a controversial move, since it's so jarring and a markedly different look for her. This video brings the focus back to what's important and that's her talent.
Seated among guitar players in the backyard on a summery day, Cyrus looks cute and innocent, wearing a stylish lacy tank, maxi skirt and her formerly long hair gathered in a top knot on her head.
The starlet cradles her old-fashioned vector mic and smiles when she sings, reminding us that her voice is the reason we fell in love with in the first place. She has her eyes closed for much of her performance, which indicates that she is connecting with the song on a deeper level.
While this likely is not the direction 'The Climb' singer will go in on her next album, it's a nice reminder of Miley's husky, emotion-packed voice. She garners a lot of press for her outfits, her engagement and stuff she smokes, but here, we are enraptured by Miley Cyrus the singer.

While Panasonic's and Samsung's flagship plasma TVs vie for best TV of 2011, LG's best plasma of the year, the PZ950 series, can't match the picture quality score of even the less expensive step-down 3D Panasonics. The main culprit is LG's more grayish shade of black, which washes out what would otherwise be an excellent picture. The TV's robust Internet suite and sleek styling help increase its appeal, but won't help its standing in the eyes of dark-room home theater fans shopping for plasmas in this price range.
Editors' note (September 1, 2011): The reviewed size of this TV is undergoing long-term testing, the results of which don't affect this review but may be interesting nonetheless. Click here for details.
Series information: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 50-inch LG 50PZ950, but this review also applies to the other screen size in the series. The two TVs have identical specs and according to the manufacturer should provide very similar picture quality.

|Single-plane face

The PZ950's most remarkable design element is its one-sheet face, where a single panel of glass fronts both the screen and bezel for sleek, a seamless look. The black bezel itself is thicker than the bezels on Samsung's high-end plasmas and Panasonic's compact GT30, but still more compact than seen on many plasmas. Transparent edges on the panel and the rounded-top stand base complete the picture. While the design isn't quite up to Samsung's PND7000/D8000 standards in our book, it's as nice as the best Panasonics and attractive and understated enough to work in just about any room.

LG redesigned its menu system on the 2011 Smart TV-capable models to emphasize the applications and streaming services over things like picture and audio settings. It also extended the functionality of its secondary Magic Motion remote--which acts like the controller on a Nintendo Wii to let you make menu selections by motion control, rather than clicking from box to box with your thumb--to work on every screen in the system. Both changes are improvements that help make the 2011 LG menus among the best of any TV.
Like Sony's, LG's remotes have a central Home button but no Menu key to lead directly to the TV's picture and sound settings. The Home page consists of a live TV window with links below to inputs, TV settings, and favorite channels; a central section with five tiles you can customize and rearrange to link to any of the Premium services like Netflix and Amazon; an LG Apps section listing the three "hottest" and newest apps from LG's app store; and a bottom strip with links to the app store, browser and two apps of your choice (we wish it were possible to tweak more than just two). The page's proportions feel right, and we liked the big icons, especially since they made using the motion controller easier.
We called the wandlike motion controller a gimmick last year, but now that it can be used seamlessly across all menus and nearly every app (Netflix is the only exception we found--it prevents motion control, although the wand's cursor buttons still work), many of which seem designed with motion control in mind, it's much more appealing. Sure some things could be better--we wish the wand had a dedicated Return/Back button, response times occasionally lagged a bit, and on occasion we had to give the wand a vigorous shake to get our cursor to return--but it was sometimes easier and faster than using the standard remote, especially after we changed pointer settings to Speed: Fast and Alignment: On in the Settings>Options menu.
Since the wand is radio-controlled, it doesn't require a line of sight to the TV. Another bonus is drag and drop, which we used to customize menus where available, drag a map in the Google maps app, and easily scroll down an AP news story by dragging a scroll bar, for example. Waving the wand at the screen to navigate menus and apps will take some getting used to for motion control novices, but it's a cool and somewhat useful option to have. The biggest downside is that it means having an extra remote on your coffee table (at least until Harmony incorporates motion control).

Unlike LG's 2011 LCDs, its plasma TVs use active-shutter 3D glasses, zero pairs of which come with the TV. The new glasses sync using a 2.4GHz wireless signal so they aren't subject to line-of-sight like the Infrared models Panasonic uses, and we appreciate that they do have rechargeable batteries. When we asked company reps why LG didn't make its plasmas with passive 3D, we were told that doing so using existing pattern retarder technology was too costly.
LG includes a Wi-Fi dongle with the PZ950, occupying a USB slot but happily allowing you to use a wireless connection with this TV without paying an extra $80. The dongle worked well in our tests. LG also offers an external LG Wireless Media Box option (which we didn't test) that enables you to connect HDMI and other gear wirelessly if your installation calls for that.
|Streaming and apps
|Amazon Instant
|Hulu Plus
|Web browser
|Other: Additional Premium services include Mog, CinemaNow, MLB.tv, Napster, vTuner, AccuWeather, AP news, Google Maps, and Picasa. 32 LG Apps as of press time
Among Blu-ray players we dubbed LG's Smart TV our favorite suite of streaming services and apps, with Panasonic's Viera Cast a close second. For TVs we like Viera Connect (a more mature version of the simpler Cast) a bit better than LG's service and both are slightly superior to Samsung's cluttered, albeit more content-rich, version of Smart TV.
Despite the ill-chosen Premium heading, you won't have to pay for any of the streaming services beyond subscription or pay-per-view fees. The selection is solid, although Pandora, a staple available on most other TVs, is missing.
We appreciated that LG's Premium services are almost all excellent. Separating the wheat from the chaff is often difficult, and we prefer to have a few apps and services that work well and offer satisfying content as opposed to myriad useless ones.
Speaking of chaff, the selection in LG's app store is anemic at the moment, far outpaced by Samsung and, to a lesser extent, Panasonic. That said, the number of apps has increased from 14 to 32 since we reviewed the LG 47LW5600 in late June, and new additions include Fandango (no ticket sales, just lame trailers for now) and "3D Zone" (even lamer 3D video clips). We did like the star rating system, especially since the plethora of negative ratings signaled it was legit. We didn't like the cramped layout of the app store, however, and we're a bit mystified as to why some apps (like the excellent HomeCast podcast aggregator) aren't premium.
Like Samsung, LG offers video search and a Web browser. LG's search hits even fewer services than Samsung's (just Amazon Instant and some podcasts as far as we could tell), making it even more useless. The PZ950's browser on the other hand was faster and generally better than the one on the D8000 Samsungs we reviewed, although it was still worse than the Google TV's (as usual, it doesn't support Flash, so no Hulu.com). We liked using the motion remote to navigate, but really didn't like using it to enter text for searching or direct URL access.

The Houston Texans competes in the National Football League (NFL) in the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC). All of their home games at are played at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. They joined the NFL as an expansion team and played their first game in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, losing to the New York Giants 34-17 on August 5, 2002. The Texans played their first official season opener at home in Reliant Stadium against the Dallas Cowboys and surprised their opponent by defeating them 19-10, this being the second time in NFL history for an expansion team to win their debut season game. The Texans, however, did not have a winning inaugural season. In fact, the Texans did not have a breakeven season until 2006.
After the Houston Oilers moved to Tennessee, Bob McNair, a prominent businessman and owner of the franchise from Houston, began his mission to bring professional football back to the fourth largest city in the US. After a five year struggle his dream became a reality and the Houston Texans were officially named in a ceremony in downtown Houston on March 2, 2000.
The Houston Texans finally played in the 2011-12 postseason, their first postseason appearance, winning the Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals but were knocked out by the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. The team has had several players that have been selected to play in the Pro Bowl, including but not limited to; Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, Mario Williams, Owen Daniels and DeMeco Ryans.

Our goal is to have some type of "Android/Droid" element in the logo as well as a similar color and something identifiable to T-Mobile customers that doesn't go too far.
T-Mobile customers with Android phones.
High quality logos that can be used in both web and print (ie, they must scale to large sizes) .PSD's and .AI's a plus.
