As we enter the closing weeks of the 2010 Regular Session, the Senate passed legislation that will improve job opportunities for career and technical students, regulate methadone treatment centers, and crack down on meth traffickers. We also continued our work on the state budget, and I continued my work on more transparency in campaign finance reporting.
The Senate passed House Bill 288, another piece of campaign finance reform legislation that I was able to improve through my role as chairman of the Senate State and Local Government Committee.

Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry will be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame this weekend. Both players brought a certain electricity to Shea Stadium.
Each player had the ability to grab the crowd by the scruff of the neck.
For Strawberry, it was the sense of anticipation with every at-bat. He was one of the few players who kept you riveted every time he came to the plate because there was the prospect of hitting a mammoth home run like the one he hit off the scoreboard clock in St. Louis.
For Gooden, during the summers of 1985 and 1986 there was a buzz at Shea whenever he took the mound. I remember how the crowd would rise and scream whenever he got two strikes on a hitter. Gooden had electric stuff, the kind that made you wonder if this would be the night he'd throw a no-hitter.
Eventually, he did. But, fittingly in the tormented history of this franchise, he did so for the Yankees.
Is there a special Doc or Straw moment for you?

Identity theft is the most common complaint reported to the Federal Trade Commission. October is Identity Theft Prevention Month, so this is a good time to talk about ID theft – what it is, and how to prevent it.
Identity theft occurs when another person uses your personal information, such as name, Social Security number or credit or debit card without your permission.
The FTC estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their IDs stolen each year. When this happens, ID thieves may get a credit card, rent an apartment, buy an automobile or establish a phone account in your name. You may not realize your identity has been stolen until you obtain your credit report, attempt to get credit or are contacted by a collection agency.
How do thieves steal your identity?
• Dumpster diving: Rummaging through your trash looking for bills or other papers with your information on them.
• Skimming: Obtaining your credit card information by using an electronic device while processing your card.
• Phishing: Pretending to be a financial institution or company or sending spam or pop-ups asking for your information.
• Stealing: Lifting your purse or wallet or mail, which contains your bank or credit card statements, pre-approved credit card offers, or by stealing personnel records.
• Pretexting: Using false pretexts to obtain personal information from banks, phone companies or other sources, sometimes through bribery or theft.
• Smartphone theft: Stealing your phone physically or hacking into your device the same ways that computers are violated.
What do thieves do with your personal information?
• Use your credit card for purchases. When they don't pay, the delinquency shows on your credit report. If they have changed your address, you may not even see the bills until it is too late.
• Phone and utility fraud. Thieves may open phone, utility or cable accounts in your name or add charges to your existing account.
• Banks and finance fraud. Thieves may create counterfeit checks with your name and account number, open a bank account, write bad checks causing overdraft fees, clone your ATM or debit card, make electronic withdrawals or take out a loan in your name.
• Government documents. Thieves may get a driver's license or other official ID with your number and their picture, use your name and Social Security number to get benefits or file a fraudulent tax return using your ID.
How do you know your ID has been stolen? Monitor your bank and credit card statement monthly and look for false transactions. Check your credit report regularly. You are entitled to one free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus each year at www.annualcreditreport.com. Bill collectors may call checking on unpaid items that you have not purchased. You find your credit has been damaged when you attempt to get a mortgage, buy a car or get credit and are turned down. You may get rent due notices about an apartment you never rented, default notices on a mortgage on a home you never purchased or information about a job you never had.
Of course, if your purse or smartphone is stolen, your ID has probably been stolen, too.
One of the best ways to prevent ID theft is to shred all your documents and mail that contains your Social Security number and/or financial information, such as your credit card or bank account numbers. To help do this, CCCS of McHenry County is holding a free shredding event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m,. Oct. 27. If you have large amounts to shred, please bring them as early as possible, so you can be accommodated. Donations will be accepted. If you have questions, please call CCCS at: 815-338-5757.
Smartphones should be password protected the same as computers. In case of theft, regularly back-up your personal information and wipe the phone. Install an ant-virus program and always make sure that links are safe. Before downloading apps, carefully read the fine print.
For further information, check out these two sites for good information on ID theft:
www.ProtectYourIDNow.org and www.CONSUMER-ACTION.ORG.
• Virginia Peschke is executive director of Consumer Credit Counseling Service of McHenry County based in Woodstock. Questions on any aspect of credit, debt or mortgages are welcome at 815-338-5757.

The foreign exchange or 'Forex Market' is the world's largest financial market. It is a non-stop cash market where currencies of nations are traded off-exchange through brokers.
It is estimated that, on average, $3.6 trillion is traded each day in the world Forex markets. The vast majority of Forex trading does not occur on any one centralized or organized exchange but through brokers on the interbank currency market. The interbank currency market is a twenty four hour market that follows the sun around the world. Opening in Australia and closing in the U.S. Whilst the market exists for organizations with exchange risk, speculators also participate in the Forex markets in an effort to profit from their expectations regarding shifts in exchange rates.
In the early part, the Forex market was used by institutional investors that transacted large amounts for commercial and investment purposes. Today however, importers and exporters, international portfolio managers, multinational corporations, speculators, day traders, long term holders and hedge funds all use the Forex market to pay for goods and services, transact in financial assets and speculate or to reduce the risk of currency movements by hedging their exposure or increasing their exposure through speculation.
In today's information superhighway the Forex market is no longer solely for the institutional investor. The last 10 years have seen an increase in non-institutional traders accessing the Forex market and the benefits it offers. Trading platforms such as MetaQuotes MetaTrader have been developed specifically for the private investor and educational material has become more readily available. These have all added to the attractiveness of the Forex market for the private investor.
The growth in the Forex market over the last decade has led to a number of advantages for the private investor. Trading material to educate the trader has become far more readily available. Support services via forums have become increasingly popular and in the event that you the private investor no longer wish to trade the account yourself, you have professional money managers that will take-over via managed accounts. In brief the main advantages for the private investor and the shorter term trader are:

As you think about choosing a school, consider what matters most to your family. What do you value the highest when it comes to your child's education? How does your choice of school impact your family or your finances? We're here to help you take the first step.
In Colorado, there are a variety of schools to choose from - public, public charter, and private. When deciding between schools, learn what makes each type of school different, and how that fits with your overall needs and goals.
As you search for schools that fit your family, look for information in three key areas - academic performance, extracurricular programs, and school culture and community.
Find schools that are the right fit
GreatSchools provides independent ratings based on a mixture of factors. You should consider GreatSchools ratings along with local and state ratings.
Take time to visit the schools at the top of your list. Visiting is the best way to tell whether you and your child feel welcomed and comfortable at each school. You also have a chance to observe teachers in action, and see whether students are actively engaged in learning.
Once you've made your choices, find out the details of the enrollment process for each school and give yourself enough time to complete and submit your applications. You may need to gather important documents like a birth certificate or proof of residency. Also, your first choice school may not be available, so you will want to apply to at least two other schools that meet all or most of your needs.

Dear Bernie,
A few folks on the listserv have contacted me to share of your recent shift
away from Christianity. Since my name and work have come up in your posts,
they thought that I should comment. After reading some of your arguments, I
am sorry to say that you misrepresent my views, and quite badly. Of course,
it runs through my mind whether you actually read my material with any care.
Let me give you a couple examples.
On Fri Sep 18 2009, Bernie writes:
"I can explain how it ended my faith in Christ. Once accepting evolution, I
had to figure out how to integrate it into theology. Lamoureux helped here.
There is theology, science, and history in the Bible; and the last two are
ancient and they are wrong. But now that I was on that road, I could go
further, and say "Ah ha- it is the same case for theology- there is also an
'ancient theology' in the Bible that is also wrong." Of course, no
theologian will use the term 'ancient theology' even though they believe it,
because it will make them a heretic. So what is "ancient theology?" For one,
the sin of Adam brought death into the world. Ancient, and wrong (according
to TE's and YEC's). (Your quoted paragraph above mentions 'ancient' and
wrong ideas related to theology, only they aren't labeled as such.)"
Bernie, you've completely missed the entire point of my book, and you've
committed the error that I attack throughout the book-CONFLATION.
In the example you cite, you've conflated:
(1) the ancient science (the de novo of Adam, which is an ancient
phenomenological perspective on how life arose) and
(2) the Divine Theology (the reality of human sin and the fact that sin
entered the world because of humans).
I give scores of examples of the ancient science being used as an incidental
vessel to deliver the Holy Spirit inspired Messages of Faith (ie, the
Message-Incident Principle which I repeat ad nauseam), but somehow you are
oblivious to this categorical distinction. In this example, my conclusion is
that "sin entered the world, but not with Adam" (p. 329).
Your comment regarding the integrity of theologians ("even though they
believe it") is shameful and crosses the line. And it simply is not true. I
believe the theology in Scripture is inerrant/infallible, and I use these
terms in my book Evolutionary Creation (2008) 153 times in 386 pages-about
once every 2.5 pages.
Another of your misrepresentations and CONFLATIONS regards the history in
Scripture. You write: "There is theology, science, and history in the Bible;
and the last two are ancient and they are wrong." You fail to distinguish
the ancient history in Gen 1-11 from the historical statements in the rest
of the Bible. Remember, the focus of my book is on Gen 1-11. However, I did
make a critical qualification right at the beginning of the first chapter
where I deal with Gen 1-11. In the second paragraph of this chapter I made
my views very clear regarding the history in Scripture:
"It has long been acknowledged that Scripture describes actual historical
events. The scientific discipline of biblical archaeology explores
the history of ancient Palestine and the surrounding regions. Evidence
collected from sites in the Middle East confirms the existence of many
customs, places, and peoples referred to in the Bible. To mention a few
examples, the Old Testament record is consistent with archaeological data
regarding religious practices (stone altars, blood sacrifices, holy mounts),
nomadic life (tenting, herding, hospitality), cities (Rameses, Babylon,
Jerusalem), nations (Egyptians, Assyrians, Canaanites), and kings
Nebuchadnezzar, David). The New Testament also presents accurate
history of first-century Palestine in regards to the Jewish religion
(Pharisees, temples, sacrifices) and the Roman occupation (Pontius Pilate,
centurions, crucifixion). And solid evidence supports the historical reality
of a man named "Jesus of Nazareth" and the beginning of the Church.
However, some Christians do not accept the historicity of Gen 1-11." p. 177
So, don't assume that because the history in Gen 1-11 is ancient, that the
rest of the Bible features a similar ancient understanding of history. This
is an injudicious extrapolation.
Mon Sep 21 2009 Bernie writes:
"The idea of a firmament is wrong. Same with the idea of the Earth being
stationary and unmoveable (it is moving 67,000 mph around the Sun), and the
universe being geocentric. Lamoureux identifies ancient (and wrong) science
and history. But he never identifies theology in the same way, explicitly,
that it can be likewise "ancient and wrong" (but he does implicitly state
it). Example of ancient theology that is wrong: A literal Adam brought sin
and death into the world... something most TE's would say is theologically
wrong (all those who don't accept a literal Adam)."
Bernie, your rhetoric (use of the term "wrong") is irritating. The ancient
science was the best science of the day, and it's what we would have
accepted had we lived then.
But more irritating is your comment that I "implicitly state" that the
theology is "ancient and wrong." UTTER NONSENSE. Here is the first
paragraph of the chapter that begins my hermeneutical thesis in Evolutionary
"The Bible is a precious gift that has been given to us in order to reveal
God and His will. Contained within its pages are the foundations of
the Christian Faith-the creation of the world, the fall of humanity into
sin, the offer of redemption through the Blood shed on the Cross, and
the promise of eternal life. The Scriptures are also an everlasting source
of spiritual nourishment for our soul. Through the power of the Holy
Spirit, the Bible assures and encourages, challenges and admonishes, and
equips men and women for a faithful life of good works. In particular,
the primary purpose of God's Word is to reveal Jesus and the Father's
unconditional love for all of us." p. 105
Are you telling me that I believe the theology is "ancient and wrong"? As
noted above, I refer to the theology as inerrant/infallible once every 2.5
pages. So don't give me this NONSENSE that I "implicitly state" that the
theology is "ancient and wrong," because I do not at all believe the
theology is "wrong."
It is clear to me that you only read what you wanted out of my book to serve
your agenda, which is clearly just an attempt to justify your rejection of
[The next paragraph has got Bernie's approval to be posted because the
contents came in a private e-mail]
But let's get personal, because faith is not just an academic exercise. A
month or so ago I asked you if you read the Bible DEVOTIONALLY. Your answer
was a terse 'no'. Bernie, you're missing the point of God's Word
completely. Scripture leads to a spiritual encounter. It is here to convict
you and also to bless you. Reading the Bible entails having a set of ears
that "hear." And though I don't for second believe in the historical reality
of Adam and Eve, the account in Scripture about them is foundational to
Christian Faith, because it reveals the inerrant and eternal truth of the
human condition-we don't listen to God. And your non-devotional reading of
the Bible is just like Adam and Eve's treatment of the words that God gives
them in the garden. Like them, you just don't want to listen to His Word.
It is my 30 year experience with hearing a "voice" in the Bible that leads
me to reject the idea that Scripture has ancient theology. It contains a
living theology that changes lives forever. I don't see the same impact of
other ancient theologies (Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, etc.) on people
today. But for most on this listserv, the "voice" in the Scripture is real,
and it talks to them everyday. And that "voice" has got people praying for
you, and concerned enough to challenge you.
Now in your defense, I can empathize with you regarding the challenges of
modern biblical criticism. It certainly shook the core of my being when I
was exposed to it in seminary. In EC (pp. 348-350), I write about a moment
at the end of Regent College when I was ready to toss the faith because I
saw an ancient feature in Scripture (the pre-creative state of Gen 1:2). But
at the same time that "voice" arose and put things in perspective. The Bible
has an ancient vessel that carries the life-changing Words of God. But you
need "ears" to hear that "voice."
And I will also empathize with your tendency of focusing on the literature
of the Bible. I'll confess that this has been an issue in my faith walk at
times. As a theologian, I am always analyzing the Text critically, and it's
easy to think that because I'm reading Scripture 8 hours a day that I'm in
the Word all the time. NOT TRUE. I need devotional time in Scripture.
Biblical criticism is great, but it's only a tool that serves us to get at
the Message of Faith, and to understand the Holy Spirit's revelatory
process. The Word was intended to be read DEVOTIONALLY. And that's the best
part of reading the Bible-it results in a mystical encounter with God.
To use an earthy example: People like you who focus just on the literature
of Scripture through biblical criticism are like to those who limit sex with
their spouse to just the anatomical and physiological facts of the act. They
know all the physical details of sex, and when they are in bed with their
spouse they keep their mind focused on the physical reality, missing
completely the transcendent/spiritual/mystical character of the
event/encounter. Those who only read the Bible critically are like those who
fail to realize that there is something more to sex . . . it's called making
So what's the bottom line: your arguments regarding Scripture are based on a
misrepresentation and proof-texting of my work. Your so-called "ah ha"
moment is an injudicious extrapolation of my views. It's rooted in
simplistic conflations.
Bernie, have more integrity than Adam and Eve as they attempted to justify
themselves with silly excuses before the Lord (eg, Eve to God: It's the
snake that made me do it, or Adam to God: It's the woman YOU put here with
me that made me do it [!]). Bernie, just be honest, toss the excuses, the
rationalizations, and the justifications aside, and just say you simply don't
want to believe. You just don't want to listen to God.
Over the last two years and two ASA meetings I have really enjoyed
connecting with you and I quite appreciate your intensity in trying to make
sense of things. You'll always be a pal.
Best wishes in your future,

The question is, whether ālayavijñāna is posited to be truly existent, or merely conventionally existent, in Yogacara texts....If it is a given that Yogacara texts do posit an ultimate existent, which I think is beyond argument, is that ultimate existent the ālayavijñāna itself, or some sort of "under-structure" or "basic element" which merely "holds" the seeds? I'm not interested in later Tibetan commentary, really, but only in Indian source texts, pro or con. I think we can all agree that Nonconceptual Wisdom is not the ālayavijñāna as it is normally defined.
conebeckham wrote: Asanga, in the Mahayanasamgraha, VIII.21:
Namdrol, your statement-There is no difference between prajnaparamita and nonconceptual wisdom.--equates the ālayavijñāna with the paratantra, the dependent nature. If the Alaya ceases, then how does the dependent nature not cease, if they are the same?What Maitreyanatha, Asanga and Vasubandhu claim is that the dependent nature is real, it exists. However, the dependent nature = the ālayavijñāna. The ālaya is only called the ālaya as long as there are seeds. When these have been eradicated, the ālaya also ceases; but the dependent nature, being an existent, does not.
If the dependent is, on the other hand, conventionally (and thus temporarily) containing the stains we call "seeds," and including the dualistic experience which we experience as sentient beings and phenomena, I'd say that the eradication of the seeds would mean the ceasing of the ālayavijñāna.
....but not the ceasing of mere cognizance, which is the nonconceptual wisdom, an aspect of the perfect nature(parinispanna). This is the same as the dependent (paratantra) purified of false imagination (and not merely the parakalpita), in this case, as you pointed out before, the ceasing of the duality implicit in the other-dependent, as well as afflictions and all "seeds." The paranispanna, the perfection of wisdom and it's outflow, two aspects of the Ultimate, are that which comprises the Dharmakaya and Dharmadhatu, by way of conventional explanation. The perfection of wisdom is equal, according to Asanga, with nonconceptual wisdom, which is the the Dharmakaya, which we agree the early Yogacaras posit as Ultimate.
In other words, the Alaya is not inherently existent, but is merely the collection of incidental stains obscuring the Dharmakaya.
Mahayanasutralamkara, XIII.19:
I don't see how this quote posits an existent Alaya--it posits an existent "luminous mind of dharmata," for sure....but this is not the ālayavijñāna.It is held that mind, which is always naturally luminous,
is [only] blemished by adventitious flaws.
It is stated that there is no other mind apart from
The naturally luminous mind of dharmata.

For all you MGS4 gamers, reader Christine L. has a couple new cheat codes for you. These look new to us, so we're passing them along. With them you can get the .45 pistol and the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle before they unlock in the game (which happens after you meet up with the Metal Gear Mark II.) It doesn't exactly rock the foundations of science, but it might be useful to some of you.
She got the unlock codes from two different launch events in Japan today, in Shinjuku and Yokohama. A third was released at Omiya but she wasn't there, so its code is still out there, presumably (if you have it, send along to tips.) But McWhertor tested these out and they're on the level:
password mekakorkkk unlocks the .45 calibre pistol.
password mnsoymsyhn unlocks the Mosin-Nagant rifle.
Enjoy your ill-gotten firearms!

I just completed my winter term of school and about to begin my spring term which also happens to be my last term of academics before graduating! I can't believe that in 78 days (yes I am counting) I will walk across the stage at graduation and receive my degree in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University. This is a dream come true. All of the hard work, sacrifices, and dedication during these last three years will be worth that moment. This is a day I never thought I would see, especially at the age of 32! Even though this journey has been difficult and I have missed out on many things, I know it is all worth it. Without the support of my family and friends I know I wouldn't be here and to them, I am truly thankful.
In my last post I mentioned that I have been MIA from here for a while because I have been applying to Dietetic Internship programs. This is a pretty competitive process and I have given my all in these applications and the three years leading up to them. I will be notified on April 6th if I have been selected or not. Until then, it is a waiting game that is completely out of my control. I am hoping for the best and if selected I will give this program my all. If I am not selected, I will continue to work hard and apply again next year.
Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and for being faithful followers and readers of Creative Cooking Gluten Free over these last six years. Thank you for understanding that I am only one person and cannot post daily on here. Between school, work, homework, and volunteering, I just do not always have the time. I hope to be better about it this term however, and provide you all with some new delicious gluten-free and allergy-friendly recipes.

Food in 19th-Century American Cities
Cindy R. Lobel
Over the course of the 19th century, American cities developed from small seaports and trading posts to large metropolises. Not surprisingly, foodways and other areas of daily life changed accordingly. In 1800, the dietary habits of urban Americans were similar to those of the colonial period. Food provisioning was very local. Farmers, hunters, fishermen, and dairymen from a few miles away brought food by rowboats and ferryboats and by horse carts to centralized public markets within established cities. Dietary options were seasonal as well as regional. Few public dining options existed outside of taverns, which offered lodging as well as food. Most Americans, even in urban areas, ate their meals at home, which in many cases were attached to their workshops, countinghouses, and offices.
These patterns changed significantly over the course of the19th century, thanks largely to demographic changes and technological developments. By the turn of the 20th century, urban Americans relied on a food-supply system that was highly centralized and in the throes of industrialization. Cities developed complex restaurant sectors, and majority immigrant populations dramatically shaped and reshaped cosmopolitan food cultures. Furthermore, with growing populations, lax regulation, and corrupt political practices in many cities, issues arose periodically concerning the safety of the food supply. In sum, the roots of today's urban food systems were laid down over the course of the 19th century.
The Panama Canal and the United States
Michael E. Donoghue
The United States' construction and operation of the Panama Canal began as an idea and developed into a reality after prolonged diplomatic machinations to acquire the rights to build the waterway. Once the canal was excavated, a century-long struggle ensued to hold it in the face of Panamanian nationalism. Washington used considerable negotiation and finally gunboat diplomacy to achieve its acquisition of the Canal. The construction of the channel proved a titanic effort with large regional, global, and cultural ramifications. The importance of the Canal as a geostrategic and economic asset was magnified during the two world wars. But rising Panamanian frustration over the U.S. creation of a state-within-a-state via the Canal Zone, one with a discriminatory racial structure, fomented a local movement to wrest control of the Canal from the Americans. The explosion of the 1964 anti-American uprising drove this process forward toward the 1977 Carter-Torrijos treaties that established a blueprint for eventual U.S. retreat and transfer of the channel to Panama at the century's end. But before that historic handover, the Noriega crisis and the 1989 U.S. invasion nearly upended the projected transition of U.S. retreat from the management and control of the Canal.
Early historians emphasized high politics, economics, and military considerations in the U.S. acquisition of the Canal. They concentrated on high-status actors, economic indices, and major political contingencies in establishing the U.S. colonial order on the isthmus. Panamanian scholars brought a legalistic and nationalist critique, stressing that Washington did not create Panama and that local voices in the historical debate have largely been ignored in the grand narrative of the Canal as a great act of progressive civilization. More recent U.S. scholarship has focused on American imperialism in Panama, on the role of race, culture, labor, and gender as major factors that shaped the U.S. presence, the structure of the Canal Zone, as well as Panamanian resistance to its occupation. The role of historical memory, of globalization, representation, and how the Canal fits into notions of U.S. empire have also figured more prominently in recent scholarly examination of this relationship. Contemporary research on the Panama Canal has been supported by numerous archives in the United States and Panama, as well as a variety of newspapers, magazines, novels, and films.

LEADing by example
Well hello there! Long time, no blog! I can't believe we've already been in classes for two weeks! I guess that really goes to show that time flies when you're having fun. 🙂
What have I been having fun doing, you ask? Well, lots of things! Between work, classes, my sorority, other campus organizations, friends and family, my schedule is packed full of fun things to keep me busy! But there's one thing that I don't need to put on my calendar anymore: LEAD events.
I've been mentioning LEAD a lot over my past several posts, but I haven't really explained what it is. Luckily for you, this post is dedicated to LEAD and LEAD only!
LEAD stands for Leading, Educating, Achieving and Developing. This program was enacted by Dr. Barnett (our university president) in 2000 and has been going strong ever since! The intent of this $5000 tuition award is to encourage campus involvement and enhance our education here. And guess what? It's available to any accepted WWU student! Love it!
Attending LEAD events during these past four years has been one of the highlights of my Woods experience. Lots of fun memories have been made either hanging out with my friends at a concert, listening to an inspirational speaker, or experiencing a different culture or lifestyle.
As I mentioned in my first post, I LOVE taking pictures. I've basically been documenting my college years ever since I stepped foot on this campus! While thinking about what I wanted to tell you about the LEAD program, I decided to look back at some of my older photos and videos. My conclusion: Man, oh man, I've had some fun! 🙂
As I was looking through my pictures, I noticed a recurring theme. There are three main types of LEAD events: educational, concerts and performances. I know the idea of LEAD may still seem kind of arbitrary. However, a picture speaks a thousand words, so check out these photos and enjoy!
If you're concerned that you won't be able to balance everything, along with the LEAD program, don't worry! As a residential student, I only needed FOUR points per month, TWENTY by the end of the fall semester and FORTY-FIVE by the end of the year. That basically means I went to one event per week, sometimes more. (Each event lasts about an hour.)
Everyone about the LEAD program is online. The events calendar is always accessible through a link on the LEAD homepage. You can also check how many points you have just by entering your student ID on another link on the homepage. Gotta love that internet! 🙂
One time my friends calculated how much we as students are "making" attending LEAD events. It equaled out to between $150-$200! Talk about makin' bank! Think about getting paid to cheer on your school's team at a basketball game or laughing hysterically while your friends get hypnotized. I think that's something we can all agree with!
The LEAD program is just one of the many unique things about William Woods, and one of the countless reasons why I chose this school as my home for four years. If getting paid for not sitting on your room and going to a fun event sounds good to you, I think you need to schedule a campus visit!
I'd better stop blabbering on about the LEAD program now because I could probably type all day! I hope you are having a fantastic week and trying to stay as warm as possible with this crazy winter weather! (For those of you who aren't experiencing the wrath of Mother Nature-consider yourselves lucky!) 🙂
Smiles and sunshine!

w/ KUNSTENFESTIVALDESARTS
In the turbulent summer of 1966, the artist's mother, a twenty-year old Moroccan student-socialist, was one of some fifty Young African Leaders invited on a tour in the US to 'learn about democracy', sponsored by the State Department. Starting from this episode, Yto Barrada – a visual artist and founding director of Cinémathèque de Tanger – creates Tree Identification for Beginners, a film accompanied by textile and sound, through which she follows her mother in her journey and attempt to hijack the US-proposed narrative and discover the emerging voices of the Pan-African and Black Power movements. Tree Identification for Beginners opens a territory at the intersection of political history, family story, myth and fiction. By playing with wooden children's toys from the 60s, the film ironically shows how skill-learning of recognizing simple geometric shapes and stereotypical categorization of 'the other' overlap. A playful reflection on the similarities between political propaganda... and infantile pedagogy.

In this course we will use women's experiences as the key to understanding European history over the past two centuries. Some of the issues tthat shaped the 19th century, such as gender relations in modern society are still being discussed today; others that we now take for granted such a universal suffrage, were by no means normal a hundred years ago. The course will address topics concerning women's experiences and will encourage students to explore issues in women's history and the influences that women had on the development of modern Europe.

Another Monday has rolled around, which means TRUTH and HONESTY in it's purest form! Or….in total lies and denials….
I did NOT tell Mike's family that I would bring a BIG DELICIOUS BRISKET for Thanksgiving….
And then did NOT price those bad boys and bring a NICE TASTY ROAST instead. ahem…I don't know if ya'll have noticed, but I am SO NOT MADE OF MONEY! LOL It was ROAST all the way! BAHAHAHA! There was turkey if ya'll were wondering…it wasn't like I ruined anything. I was just glad I wasn't asked to bring my token bag of ice because of my not so stellar reputation as a cook. 😉
I did NOT eat 2 pieces of pie….
And I would NOT tell them one was Brooklyn's when I knew full well I was shoving that pecan yumminess into my own face, and not hers. That would be dishonest. And it was VERY GOOD. I feel no guilt.
I did NOT catch myself speeding down the highway talking to my sweet friend Hannah….
And in the midst of slowing myself down after we hung up….I did NOT get pulled over by the highway patrolman. :::snicker::: Oh no…that would not have been ME at all!
And I mostly CERTAINLY did NOT play dumb and talk myself out of a ticket. That would be terrible….really really terrible… I think it was the pecan pie breath speaking to him…. 😉
I was NOT mortified to find out that not only my nice youth minister (Aquila project link over there———> check it out) reads my blog, but my amazing pastor reads it too. Nice. And I did NOT then decide, who cares…at least they know full well what they are getting. I don't lie at least. This is me….in all my glory.
Sigh, yes, I'm that sad. I did work out this morning though. I was the TERMINATOR on that stupid elliptical! I got AFTER it! I hauled some BIG BUTT!
UGH…why do I always mention body parts of my dumb blog. OYE! I need a life.
Alright, back to my confessions….
I did NOT have my FIRST ever stranger photo session yesterday and have to pull over on the way there because I thought I was going to throw up. I was NOT a bit scared. At.All.
I did NOT just wake Egg #2 up with the tales of SNOW on the ground! Because when he gets down here to find the handfull of snow on the ground, he may be upset with me. I didn't lie though!
I did NOT have a SECOND girls night out in ONE month after not having one in MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS! I did NOT thoroughly enjoy myself! But I will NOT be discussing the topic of conversations….. 😉
I did NOT then have an impromptu photo session the next day with one of the ladies I went out with and I did NOT take some AMAZING pictures of her! I seriously HATE her hair! 😉 She's gorgeous! And I'm not at ALL jealous of how darn cute she is!
And I am NOT suddenly contemplating adorable hair too….with pink streaks. I'm much too old for that. 😉 HAAAAAAAA!
And I did NOT reveal what I'd do for a MILLION dollars in my last blog, making myself look cheap and easy. Not at all. I'm a nice girl. Heh.
All I can say is, at least I'm honest. I don't hide it. Even when I probably should….check out MckMama's blog for more blogs of total lies! LOL http://www.mycharmingkids.net/

FERGUSON, Mo. – The police department in a St. Louis suburb where a man was shot and killed by a police officer is asking protesters to gather only during daylight.
Ferguson has been the site of nightly protests and unrest since 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed during a confrontation with an officer on Saturday.
In a news release issued Wednesday, the department asked that all people who assemble to pray or protest do so in "an organized and respectful" manner and disperse well before evening to ensure the safety of participants and the community.
The release blames the previous violence on people who transformed peaceful protests into violent demonstrations, which police say is not indicative of the city or its residents.

Mother's Day, Sweet Mother's Day, is the best holiday that Hallmark invented, right? Infinitely better than Grandparent's Day or Boss' Day. (Who really cares about their boss anyway?)
My single childhood Mother's Day memory was when I was about 10 years old. I was at Helen Leyshon's house sprawled on the floor of the family library. Two richly colored oriental rugs, not identical, covered the bare oak floors and gave us plenty of open space for coloring and paper dolls and reading and wrestling. We had to be careful not to be too wild and wrestle right into her Mother's cello in the corner. Banging into musical instruments, especially the cello, was sure death.
It was Saturday, and Helen showed me the card she bought to give her mom for Mother's Day. It was colorful in a cartoonish sort of way and had a clever way of saying something like "best Mom ever." I was both envious of Helen's card to her mother and panicked that I did not have one for my mom. Helen suggested I copy the card.
Using thin, onion-skin typing paper I covered the card but could still see through to the outline of the picture underneath. Using a pencil, I copied the picture borders and then filled in the figures using colored pencils. I used a bold, thick, black crayon to copy the words. I was so proud. I have no memory of her receiving it, but I am quite sure she made a fuss.
The second distinct Mother's Day I remember is when I was the mother. My husband asked what I wanted.
"Do you really want to know what I want?" I too quickly answered. "I want to be alone. I want you to take the boys and let me to go to brunch with my cousin. No family dining, no trip to a museum. I just want to eat a meal without a child on my lap or a mess on my shoulder.'"
He was shaken but compliant, and to this day, my cousin and I enjoy brunch together on Mother's Day. No children allowed – just two adults dining in spring-colored "Ladies who Lunch" dresses with a cool Mimosa or a spicy Bloody Mary. Mother heaven.
And I remember another special time being Mom on Mother's Day. When my younger son was 11, his friend's mother delivered a "come-to-Jesus" lecture to both boys. With vigor she proselytized about how lucky they were to have mothers who loved them and took care of them and made sure they were happy and safe.
My meek son, newly baptized with mother-understanding, went quickly to count his coins and purchased a modest bouquet of yellow-gold daffodils. He then spent the better part of an afternoon creating a 'World's Greatest Mom' poster.
With nervous pride he presented the flowers and the masterpiece. It was a full white poster, 30"x40." On it he had pasted a dozen photos of himself from infant to toddler to young boy to present boy. He even included a card with his baseball statistics from little league and, of course, his report card from first grade. In his own, shaky, cursive handwriting, using a black magic marker, he ended it with "Love, your son."
Hmpf. His mom – me – and Mother's Day were nothing without his grand existence. The poster was touching, appropriately self-centered and sweet. I take it out each year to show him and we laugh together until we are sick.
But that is the real story about mothers, isn't it? We think – children all of us – that mothers exist only for us.
For me – and maybe for some of you – my mother is for me alone. She tethers me to the world with her love. She fiercely stands by me each day. She is at the end of every phone call. She is the first pride in everything I do. Even in her sometimes anger with me, it is an intimate and loving exchange. Our bold laughter together is for our world only. First smile, first step, first fall, first boyfriend – all became real because Mom was there to witness.

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

New Jersey Devils place veteran goaltender Brodeur, 40, on injured reserve with back issueNHL.com @NHLdotcom
NEWARK, N.J. - The New Jersey Devils have placed goaltender Martin Brodeur on injured reserve with a sore back.
The move is retroactive to Sunday, in which the Devils lost at home to Winnipeg 4-2 with Brodeur on the bench. He also didn't play in a 5-1 loss the day before in Washington.
Brodeur, 40, must miss at least seven days. So, the veteran is not allowed to play until at least Monday's game at Toronto.
Brodeur was listed as day to day Monday, after tests were performed. He last played last Thursday, finishing with 17 saves in New Jersey's 3-2 win at Washington. He is 8-2-3 with a 2.27 goals-against average this season.
New Jersey returns to action Thursday in Winnipeg. Backup Johan Hedberg (2-3-1, 2.65) is scheduled to make the start.

NTSB Investigating Japan Airlines Dreamliner Fire
NTSB Investigating Japan Airlines Dreamliner Fire
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the cause of a fire in the underbelly of a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Boston's Logan International Airport on Monday.
According to airport officials, airline mechanics reported seeing smoke shortly after passengers exited the plane. Firefighters used a thermal imaging device to determine the fire was caused by battery in the auxiliary power unit in the underbelly of the plane that is only used when the plane is on the ground and engines are off.
The fire is the latest problem in a string of incidents involving mechanical and electrical issues with Boeing's 787.
Back in July, NTSB investigated an engine failure on a 787 that occurred during preflight runway testing in South Carolina, and found the failure was the result of a fractured fan on the engine mid-shaft. In December, FAA issued an airworthiness directive requiring Boeing to inspect all in-service 787s for fuel leaks. Also in December, a United Airlines 787 made an emergency landing due a failed generator.
During an interview with CNBC in mid-December, Boeing CEO and Chairman Jim McNerney referred to the issues as "the normal number of squawks on a new airplane." More

Hi there,
I switched to an Intel X18-M SSD on my X301 some time ago. I noticed that the new BIOS was released with Secure Erase functionality some time ago. As I was going to rebuild my laptop today, I thought I would give it a go. Turns out that this was a mistake. The utility failed on the Intel SSD necessitating a reboot after running for six hours. After the reboot, it turns out that the utility has set a hard drive password on the disk (there was not one before). As I have no way to know what password it has set, I am effectively locked out of my drive and it's a brick to all intents and purposes.
Does anyone (Lenovo in particular) know what password is set during the running of the Secure Erase functionality of the latest BIOS? My only alternative is to find out if there is a default master password from Intel. Since in principle, this should be blank, I believe that I am scuppered unless someone in Lenovo can tell me what password they set using the utility.
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
wibbler, welcome to the forum,
there are no default passwords which are set by Lenovo. Which buttons are you pressing at startup which require a password?

Hi Andy,
From the instructions at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-68369:
As I did not have a HDD password set, I did not see step 9.
The utility is intended to perform a secure erase of a SSD using the ATA command set. In order to achieve this, it must first set a password on the drive (which is why it requires the user tell it the pwd if none has been set - see the end of this post for detailed documentation of this requirement).
In normal operation, the password would be cleared at completion of the operation. Because the operation failed however, the password is currently still there. Since I do not know what it is, I have been locked out of the (very expensive) drive.
In other tools which perform a secure erase (such as HDDERASE.EXE), the password which is set is documented for situations like this. This is not a security issue, rather it is one of following the correct process as laid down by the ATA standard.
It may well be that Lenovo has used a randomly generated password, in which case they have bricked my drive. If not, and a 'default' password is in use, then there is a means to recover the drive if they would document it. Since this is not a security issue, it really shouldn't be a problem. Furthermore, since the password was set without my consent, the security issue is mine since the utility has effectively executed a denial of service on me.
See here for details of the ATA secure erase protocols to understand how the password is used:
The relevant section which explains why the Lenovo utility does this is:
"To successfully issue an ATA Security Erase command you need to first set a user password."
This is what the utility has done and by not subsequently removing it, has denied me access to my drive.
@wibbler wrote:
The utility failed on the Intel SSD necessitating a reboot after running for six hours.
did you induce the reboot or was it automatically rebooted after showing a failure message? if you didn't let the utility finish then it wouldn't have had the opportunity to remove the password. as i understand it the password is randomly generated during the process.

Hi there,
Apologies for disappearing for a while, I've been travelling back from holiday (yes - I rebuild laptops while on holiday).
I don't have the drive with me at work today but I'll post the model, build date and firmware (stock) when I get home tonight.

Drive details:
Model: SSDSA1MH080G1Gn 1.8"
SN: CVEM8445xxxxxxxxxx
FW: 8610 (I believe the drive is stock as I did not upgrade it. This is the version on the label)
There is no build date on the drive itself.

albion: Since JJD got caught I have been doing a lot more chores and things around the house. But I did get caught up in the ancestry bug. And with only an autosomal test and access to a genealogy site, odds are you can find anyone. Mar 17, 2019 21:54:41 GMT
albion: Especially if the matches have their own family trees already made. Mar 17, 2019 21:55:15 GMT
albion: Unfortunately it takes an organized and methodical approach. One person I spoke with created a sheet and charted out the DNA bit by bit. It really makes it harder if their is some crossover from family to family. IE two Smiths who might have originated Mar 17, 2019 21:57:32 GMT
albion: From Virginia in the 1700's but ended up in Texas or California, both carrying a bit of the same gene. It seems to skew the results. Mar 17, 2019 21:58:23 GMT
albion: The YDNA test seems much more specific, but also seems to lose some of the broad relationships. And much more expensive, and less of a critical mass in the data base. Mar 17, 2019 22:01:01 GMT
albion: Basically if people are able to use the most basic of tools to find these adoptions, why is LE not able to utilize these tools. IE, the OCDA has their own database of 200,000 names and they couldnt find JJD. Or the other cases where there is DNA and yet Mar 17, 2019 22:02:46 GMT

When I was a kid midway in a previous century, I loved background music in motion pictures. In fact, I dreamed of how neat it would be if we all had background music playing in our lives. And now, mere decades later, we are living that dream.
All we need is an iPod — and I was given one this month for my birthday.
So at this very moment, I am being inspired by "I Only Have Eyes For You" by the Flamingos, followed by "Tom Dooley" by The Kingston Trio, followed by "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Yes, my life is on "Shuffle."
This seems topical because the Oscars are being handed out. I still watch even though the movies I...

By Kelli B. Grant
How much would you pay to see the midnight show of "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20? Scalpers are betting quite a lot.
Asking prices for opening night tickets on Craigslist hit the $100-per-ticket mark in New York. On eBay, a Los Angeles seller wants $125 apiece, and another in Council Bluffs, Iowa is asking $140. And if you really want to be among the first to see it, there's an eBay listing for two tickets to a 7 p.m. showing on July 19 in Los Angeles. The price: $300.
As we reported earlier this year, some theaters introduced and swiftly sold out of IMAX tickets for the movie in January. In recent weeks, theaters in various markets reported even more sold-out midnight showings for regular and IMAX showings of "The Dark Knight Rises." The allure: getting to see the movie first and in the company of other avid, and possibly costumed, fans.
For perspective, the $100 asking price is just shy of what a concertgoer might pay for a seat at Madison Square Garden to see Madonna ($147) or Justin Bieber ($120), reports comparison site FanSnap.com. "It would get you some pretty good tickets to a Yankees-Red Sox matchup, too," says chief executive Mike Janes.
To be fair, the pie-in-the sky prices are outliers in the overall market. There are plenty of sellers hawking tickets in the still-overpriced $25 to $40 range, but those are mostly regular (i.e., not IMAX) seats. If a regular showing is acceptable, there's likely little need to pay any more than face value. In New York, for example, the AMC Theatre location in Times Square has a sold-out 12:01 a.m. showing, but there are still seats for 12:07 a.m.
If you want IMAX, the Huffington Post found a few theaters that, as of late last week, still had midnight seats available at face value.

Then I thought "All that time wasted just to miss every single shot?" It was a horribly annoying thing then I waited for my machine gun to charge up and I got a couple of shots and the Cortex shields were a quarter down only five survivors left; Captain, O. Lilliana Mendez, O. Jamium Bolium, O. Yumnup(Midorian) and Scientist Saark her serene highness.
Then in came the invaders they stormed in hitting my crew into the wall, we where surprised they didn't hurt us to much but they burned my Healing room it was a horrifying sight, all the science information and test results we gathered all in ashes now and we all felt especially sorry for princess Saark(her serene highness) because of her high grades for galactic science she is locked herself in that room for hours studying new ways to make new medicine. Our machine gun fired up again and we fired all our shots which wore out a third of the Cortex shields which was great because another shot and we'd be into the hull.
At my ten seconds of happiness another moment of grief followed, the upper hallways of my ship got tore apart by a strange looking beam that is known as one of the galaxies most powerful ships. I told my crew(after killing the invaders) to huddle up in our machine gun room we couldn't get to to the plasma torpedo due to a wall of C.P.F. (Cortex professional fire) which is another notoriously known weapon because water can't clam it down only an amazingly large of pressure, I read something in the archive files about a similar fire create (you won't believe this) four-thousand years ago! Made by a race called the "GREEKS" who seemed to be the most powerful nation on earth(pathetic) at the time.
We got another few hits from the Cortex and a few more invaders who got sucked out of the ship due to collisions sent by THEIR ship. Our machine gun recharged so we fired again and everyone knew one more hit and to the CORTEX and we would be saved but no time for pondering on success because we needed to repel the invaders marching through the lower hallways into the machine gun room after a few hits on there brains they were dead then finally the machine gun charged up we fired an the dreaded Cortex ship was gone we all celebrated in the weapon room due to ten hallway walls getting sucked into space.

Sunburst 40: 1972 Toyota FJ-40 Land CruiserPosted in Project Vehicles on March 1, 2011
The four-wheeling community is as good as it gets. No matter what age, vehicle, or type of wheeling you're into, most of your fellow four-wheel enthusiast will be eager to lend a hand or a spare part. Recently we got the opportunity to peel off out on a weeklong off-road trip with one such helpful wheeling enthusiast, Jason Redfield. Piloting his ultraclean '72 Toyota FJ-40, the Montana native helped lead our group through some of the most scenic and challenging trails just south of the Canadian border.
Since Jason knows the importance of working as a team off-road, he was always the first to offer help, and served as a virtual Swiss Army knife of 4x knowhow throughout the trip. And while Jason wasn't afraid to power up and air out his classic FJ, he managed to keep the well-built machine running clean for the entire journey.
Built with the help of the fabrication gurus at Advance Frame Works (now Throttle Down Kustoms), the retro-mod FJ-40 retains the classic lines of the '70s Toyota and is filled with neatly placed touches of modern performance. Though a quick glance at the Sunburst Orange paint job and cleanly laid tubing might make you think that this classic Cruiser is all show, we assure you this classic Cruiser is built for go!
Tech Specs
1972 Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser
Engine: 6.0L V-8 from an '04 Chevy pickup, Howell wiring harness, Corvette exhaust manifolds
Transmission: 700R4
Transfer case: NP205

Springs & Such: Custom 4 1/2-inch multilink by AFW, 2 1/2-inch King coilovers in front; 4 1/2-inch Rubicon Express TJ coils in the rear; Rancho shocks
Tires & Wheels: 37x12.50 BFG Krawlers on 17x9 Trail Ready beadlocks
Steering: Custom high steer with a PSC hydraulic-assist kit
Other Stuff: 1-inch body lift, 1 3/4-inch DOM tube cage and custom bumpers by AFW, 9,000-pound Warn winch, Master Craft seats

As leisure time increased and transportation improved in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, civic, benevolent, religious and artistic associations became popular. The Harrow Theatre in Deerfield, Massachusetts described itself as "a voluntary association of experienced amateurs for the study and production of the serious literary drama." The scene above from the play Jeanne D'Arc at Vaucouleurs was photographed at the Harrow Theatre in August 1909. The play was written and directed by William Hutchins who eventually went on to teach drama at Yale University, but who was at this time a teacher at Deerfield Academy and a painter active in the Deerfield Society of Arts and Crafts. The Harrow Theatre was at the rear of Miss Margaret Whiting's house on the Main Street of Old Deerfield. The cast included members of many of Deerfield's prominent families-- Fuller, Allen, Hawks, Brown and Ball families. Joan of Arc was a popular subject in theatre, painting, and music throughout the 18th and 19th centuries as well as into the 20th century. Her importance as an icon shifted from generation to generation, reflecting political and social movements. During the second half of the 19th century, there was a shift from a political interpretation of Joan of Arc to a spiritual one that exploited the "entrancement" associated with her visions. This reflected the growing interest in Spiritualism in New England at the time in such places a Lake Pleasant, Massachusetts (near Deerfield). The Suffrage Movement of the day and the strong leadership by women in Deerfield's Arts and Crafts movement would have likely influenced Will Hutchins' dramatic treatment of Joan of Arc.

Devil's Curry is a Malaysian dish of chicken curry with vinegar. It's a special-occasion dish made popular by the Portuguese Eurasian in Malaysia.
For the month of February, I am working with Malaysia Kitchen NYC for a special feature of Malaysian recipes on Rasa Malaysia.
Earlier this month, I have shared my nasi ulam, or Malaysia mixed herb rice recipe with you.
I have received a few emails from the readers that they have successful attempted the nasi ulam recipe at home with great success.
I am very pleased that many of my readers get a taste of Malaysian cuisine through the Malaysian recipes I share on this website.
From preparing and cooking Malaysian dishes, you are exposed to the spices used in Malaysian cooking.
Once you have sampled the delicious Malaysian food, you might consider dining out at a Malaysian restaurant near you, and eventually plan a trip to visit Malaysia.
Such are the goals of the Malaysia Kitchen program—to evangelize and promote Malaysia through its colorful cuisines and its many quality products (food and non-food) to the world.
Today, I am sharing another classic Malaysian recipe with you, a curry dish named Devil's Curry, popular in the state of Malacca, Malaysia.
In the 15th century, Malacca was the most important trading port in Southeast Asia and the Sultanate of Malacca was a powerful empire.
In 1511, the Portuguese conquered Malacca and started the colonization era of Malaysia.
However, many Portuguese settled down and married local women and formed the Cristang/Eurasian community in Malaccca, and Devil's Curry or Curry Devil is a special occasion dish for them.
Devil's Curry is a fiery red curry made with a spice paste of red chilies, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, galangal, and turmeric.
Unlike other Malaysian curries, Devil's Curry is flavored with vinegar for the sharp taste.
The end result is a curry dish that is spice-laden, complex in flavor, tantalizing to the taste buds—the reasons why it's a must-have during festivities such as Christmas for the Eurasian Kristang people in Malaysia.
Before I developed this Devil's Curry recipe, I made sure I checked with my good friend Chef Robert Danhi, whose sister-in-law is a Portuguese Eurasian born and raised in Malacca.
Robert's/his sister-in-law's recipe is a very reliable reference, which I adapted to the recipe here.
All the ingredients are accessible outside of Malaysia.
For the spices such as mustard seeds, galangal and turmeric, you can find them at Asian stores.
The recipe serves four people so it's perfect for the whole family.
For smaller family, you can have this dish for the day, both lunch and dinner, as the flavor develops and becomes richer.
Try this and enjoy Malaysian food on your dining table!

NEW YORK — The NFL says Sunday night's officiating crew should have stopped play and eliminated confusion about the down and distance at the end of the New York Giants' 24-17 victory at Washington.
A 4-yard completion to the Redskins' Pierre Garcon was spotted short of a first down. Referee Jeff Triplette signaled third down. But the head linesman, with Washington in a hurry-up offense, incorrectly motioned for the crew to advance the chains, which caused the down boxes to read first down.
League officiating director Dean Blandino said Monday in a statement that "in this situation where there is obvious confusion as to the status of the down, play should have been stopped prior to third down and the correct down communicated to both clubs. This should have occurred regardless of the fact that Washington had no timeouts and it was inside two minutes."
