Captive Imaginations: Writing Prison in the Middle Ages
COLT 1813P S01 [CRN: 25213]Many great works of the Middle Ages were written in prison or about the experience of imprisonment. Reading some of these masterpieces, we will discover why the medieval prison was such a fruitful space for poetic creation, and how the perspective of incarcerated writers helped to shape a diversity of literary traditions. Topics will include fortune and free will, sexual and cultural difference, and the construction of the individual. We will also explore the nature of medieval systems of captivity, which differed greatly from those of modern society. Selected authors: Boethius, Mas'ud Sa'd Salman, Juan Ruiz, Chaucer, François Villon.

While Nevada may appear to the outsider as the last of the Wild West -- a place where anything goes, a local business-owner will tell you otherwise. The state's low tax-rate and easy incorporation laws may make it attractive to entrepreneurs, but that's not because of any shortage of licensing. Nevada's state, county and city governments regulate a multitude of businesses and collect just as many fees. The benefits of the Wild West are available to those who apply.
In Nevada, supermarkets offer a broad variety of food products including fresh and perishable goods.

So stunning. I helped my dad pick this ring out for my mom and she loves it - as do I! The stone is absolutely GORGEOUS, i love the colour of it and the size is just right. It is so shiny too! The pink gold is stunning as well and really makes the ring what it is. The smaller diamonds are incorporated beautifully into the design of the band! Just a really nice look.
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical on buying a ring I couldn't see in person. But this ring in absolutely gorgeous. Everyone who sees it can't believe how beautiful it is and that they have never seen another ring like it. When you get engaged you don't want a ring everyone else has, you want something that stands out above the rest. I have had diamond rings in the past so I was also unsure of how I would feel about a gemstone as the center stone but the cut and sparkle on this ring make me sure this is absolutely the right ring for me. I would recommend this ring to anyone who likes something different and timeless you will not be dissapointed
I love this ring! A lot of bang for the buck. The stone color is awesome!
Amazing ring for the money. Beautiful color and she loved everything about it.
I gave this ring a four because the prongs are very sharp. I wore it bowling(forgot to take it off before I left the house) and it actually cut my finger when it pushed back against the skin. It also cut my friends hand when she did a fist bump against it afer a strike. Easy solution, don't wear it all the time, but I love the way it looks on my hand, and the band itself is very sturdy.
I was very dubious about ordering online at first, but the price and availability pushed me towards it. The online chat help was a great feature - a person was with you in moments, and very helpful as well. Shipping time was ok, I guess, the processing time is not clearly marked on your order, and can add quite a few days to your purchase. Overall, good experience.
I love the detail in this ring. it is truly striking and i am enjoying teh compliments!

Why is a political philosophy like Anarcho-Syndicalism not seen as an alternative to a capitalistic democracy?
Anarcho-Syndicalism is only one school of anarchist thought (philosophy). Despite the litany of anarchist schools of thought, the entire philosophy of anarchism, at its core, have values that would simply embarrass capitalistic values? Capitalism is essentially based on competition, profit motive, production, materialism, consumption, wage slavery, greed, etc. All of which leads to the current issues that we see now in the U.S. and perhaps in other countries influenced by U.S. capitalism.
Here are some(not all) basic principles of anarchism:opposition to aggression, opposition to hierarchies,environmentally friendly(don't believe me on this one, read Murray Bookchins "Ecology of Freedom"), pacifism, liberation, bartering (there are a lot more but the list goes on). It is usually assumed that those who opposed the government and/or state, are automatically going to be chaotic due to the fact that they have no ideology to keep them grounded, when in fact the very principles of anarchism 1) can serve as a basis for morality 2) does not advocate unjustified violence.
I am well aware of the constant misconceptions about anarchism (being that its based off violence and chaos). I am also aware that such a notion like the "Propaganda of the Deed" will be used as a way to suggest that anarchism is no different than terrorism.
What I am simply trying to say is that it is generally agreed that a capitalistic, democratic society is not a great system for one to maximize their well-being. Socialism and Communism is usually also criticize but something like anarcho-syndicalism, which for those who are going to research this, does not only support worker rights but also the only anarchist schools of thought that can actually work in a technological advanced society. If education is to be a natural right, if people are going to value cooperation, solidarity over individualization and competition, why not anarcho-syndicalism?

Oct 18 2011: Thank you Orlando, you've raised an interesting question.
I have read through the conversation to date and have a couple of thoughts to share. Firstly, you state that implementing Anarcho Syndicalism would require "everyone being on the same page". I find that hugely unlikely. I can't think of any society where everyone is on the same page. Your example of "Freetown Christiana" is interesting but only in a limited way. It exists within the confines of a major city, within a well defined country. It also represents only a tiny fraction of the population of that city and even less of the county as a whole. Nothing about it speaks to interacting with the wider world, or those who choose read a different page as it were.
Elsewhere, you state that you see greed as a function of Capitalism rather than human nature. I would have to strongly disagree with you. Greed predates Capitalism by a very large margin, as does the desire for personal power and position. If you deny them their place in the human psyche, you deny the opportunity to address them in a meaningful way.
Lastly, I agree that a change is needed in our social structure. I don't know that Anarcho Syndicalism is the way I would go, but I would be interested in learning more concerning a means of implementing such a paradigm shift in a culture as vast and diverse as the U.S; This is not sarcasm or negativity, but genuine curiosity. How does one affect such a dramatic change on so large a body?
Oct 18 2011: Thanks,
Realistically, in our modern day I do agree. People are indeed individuals and will not agree on everything. What I meant by everyone being on the same page is pretty much at a basic level. For anarchism to come about their would have to be a common agreement stating that this is the type of society that they would want. The other conflict of interest would have to be resolved within the community. But as mentioned, everyone for the most part would have to agree that communist anarchism (for example) is what they want. If one region wants capitalism and the other wants Marxism, this will not work out. Freetown Christiana was just an example to show how a community of individuals is possible in our modern world. Many critics of anarchism would state that people cannot living within a community such as FC without some sort of centralized government.
Greed does predate Capitalism given that greed is a human characteristic. What I was referring to was that capitalism maximizes this greed. I think its really a matter of circumstance. If we look at this from a psychological (or neuroscience) perspective we have to look at the role ideologies play on the human mind. Not only this but how believing and accepting certain ideologies to be true and giving credence to them impacts the human mind. With capitalism we are taught that conspicuous consumption, materialism, keeping up with the Joneses, competition, wealth etc are things that are to be valued. Believing/accepting this has profound effects. With something like anarchism, where there are various environmental land ethics, principles that could only maximize the common good, this more than likely will allow positive human characteristic to be maximized (I'm not saying utopia but a lot of things we would deem to be negative would not occur at such a high rate). Despite our biological imperatives humans have created many symbolic principles to counteract traits such as domination and power.
Comment deleted
Oct 21 2011: Hey Orlando and Tee Cee
I don't think the answer lies in any form of social organization. Historically, in virtually any society I can think of, once past subsitance levels of development, the urge for power and dominance kicked in. It's not about social structures, it's about people.
The only way I can see to effectively deal with these issues is to educate people from the earliest stages of development. Teach them self-awareness. Millenia of effort have clearly taught us that we can't legislate ethical or moral values. These things must be fostered internally, rather than imposed externally.
None of which addresses the orginal question. Why don't we consider an Anarcho-Syndicalist form of social structure? Mostly becasue people have never heard of it. It's hard to overcome the knee-jerk fear associated with the word Anarchy if people have only been exposed to one facet of it. Create an educational process which is both accessible and desirable. Let people get used to the idea and start to understand it. Then maybe it will be possible for society as a whole to consider it.

Hessian or woven-backed carpets are generally of a higher quality than those that are foam-backed, and need to be stretched and attached to gripper when they're fitted.

It opened up a dialogue about sex, gave a voice to female sexuality and female professionals, and made the Cosmo the drink of the single lady. It has inspired fashion, slang, and even influenced television. Along with Golden Girls, Sex and the City has established a genre of television series. Now, shows about girlfriends defined by four specific archetypes, conversations around a table, and the female friend family unit are popular.

Oklahoma basketball pioneer 'Buddy' Hudson, 75, passes away
May 16, 2013, 7:49 PM EDT
The name Harold "Buddy" Hudson may not be one that immediately sparks vivid memories amongst older college basketball fans, but the name is a very important one in the history of Oklahoma Basketball.
Tuesday morning Hudson suffered a heart attack and passed away in Kansas City at the age of 75. Hudson is survived by his wife, Elaine, and their two sons.
Hudson and high school teammate Joe Lee Thompson were the first African-American players in the history of the program, with Hudson playing for the Sooners from 1958-60.
Hudson, who according to College Hoopedia averaged 5.1 points and 3.0 rebounds per game in his two seasons at OU, saw his first action as a Sooner in Oklahoma's 73-64 loss to Texas Tech to begin the 1958-59 campaign.

Disbursement of Financial Aid
Before your financial aid funds can be disbursed to your student account you must meet the disbursement criteria specific to the aid program(s) you have accepted. Detailed descriptions of these aid programs is available by clicking the Additional Award Information button on the award summary panel in SPIRE self-service. This will open the Guide to Understanding Financial Aid. You may also access information by clicking on the details button. Unless otherwise stated in the award summary panel, your financial aid funds are evenly split between the fall and spring terms.
Many grants require full time enrollment (twelve credits for undergraduates, nine credits for graduate students). However some grants will be adjusted by a pro-rated amount for less than full-time enrollment. You must be enrolled at least half time (six credits) for the William D. Ford Direct Loan or the Perkins Loan to disburse to your account and you must also have a valid promissory note and Entrance Interview Form (if required) on file.
Once you have resolved all eligibility issues (including verification and satisfactory academic progress) your financial aid for the upcoming term will be disbursed no earlier than ten days prior to the start of classes. Final adjustments due to changes in your credit load will occur approximately six weeks after the start of the term. Your financial aid will be credited to your UMass Amherst tuition and fees, room and board (if living on campus), and miscellaneous fees.
Excess Funds
If the amount of financial aid and other credits on your bill exceed tuition, fees, and other charges, you may receive a refund. You may use your refund for off-campus living expenses, indirect expenses, or any other education expenses for the term. You will either receive an excess check or you can arrange for direct deposit into your bank account through Excess Express.
Excess Fund Reminders
- Before the Bursar's Office may release your excess check, you must sign, complete, and return your Direct Loan Promissory Note to Financial Aid Services.
- If you are receiving a Graduate Appointment or any other waivers not listed on your award letter, please report them to our office by completing the back of the award letter. This will reduce any delays in releasing your excess funds.
- If you a graduate student on Program Fee, update your enrollment status (half time or full time) with the Graduate Records Office. The Bursar's Office will confirm your eligibility on line before releasing your excess funds.

Apple, which is knee deep in patent infringement lawsuits, lost one Thursday involving its popular iPhone technology.
MobileMedia Ideas, a company that holds more than 300 technology patents and is jointly owned by Sony, Nokia and MPEG LA, convinced a federal jury in Delaware that three of its patents – one dealing with camera phone technology and two dealing with call handling – were violated by Apple. Damages were not immediately determined.
According to AppleInsider.com, Mobilemedia's patents cover a range of components in such devices as smartphones, personal computers, laptops and tablets.
A MobileMedia spokesman told media outlets the company was pleased with the outcome although it originally accused Apple of stealing 14 of its patents in 2010, the year MobileMedia was formed. It has similar suits against HTC Corp. and Research in Motion, the company behind the BlackBerry.
As Wired.com points out, Apple faces a flood of similar patent fights in the U.S. and overseas, some the Cupertino, Califl-based company has filed and others filed against the maker of the iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac computers:
So far, Cupertino appears to be winning the Apple v. Samsung war, with a jury trial finding Samsung in violation of many of Apple's patents involved in the case and owing Apple over $1 billion in damages (an amount currently in flux as post trial rulings come into effect). Apple settled with HTC, another Android hardware manufacturer it had been litigating, with a confidential licensing deal. The Cupertino company also has been involved in countless such lawsuits, including one in 2010 over wireless email delivery, its Numbers software, and GPS and voice technologies.
While Apple, which tried to get MobileMedia's suit thrown out, has not commented on the outcome, some industry observers now expect the two company to try to negotiate licensing agreements involving the disputed patents.

Everybody is suing everybody in the mobile device industry. This is part of the reason why Google bought Motorola Mobility, as they have a deep stack of patents. Even companies like Kodak have sued Apple and RIM over digital camera patents. Patents mean a lot of $$$ to these companies that own them and patent trolling is becoming an everyday thing when it comes to cell phones and tablets.

The death of Apple has been predicted since the '90's, and with the cash reserves Apple holds, these patent lawsuits will have little overall effect on the company. Personally, I don't understand the hate. It's a successful American company that makes quality products, and its innovation has literally changed the technological world.
December 14th, 2012

At the heart of the problem is a patent system that allows ownership of a concept by several patents, including prior art that should have never been patentable in the first place. It's sloppy work caused by outmoded law and sloppy work by an overloaded agency. That's how we got into this mess.

I see Apple going down the same road as Sony – They will still be around, but just not was big as they once were.
December 17th, 2012

Apple started this whole patent mess by filing patent suits against its competitors to put them out of business. Apple accuses other companies of stealing while claiming to be inovative. The veil has be lifted.

This jacket is great. I really like the big collar and the hood doesnt blow off my head. The front pockets are all Velcro, except the media pocket, but they wont let anything fall out. The wrists have those palm gloves that only expose your fingers and block snow from getting up your sleeves. And dont worry, theres also a snow-guard for the bottom of the jacket so that no snow goes down your pants. But most of all, the orange reflects off of the snow and follows you down the hill.

If there's one thing movies have taught us, it's that hoverboards don't work on water, unless they've got the power. This one you're about to see definitely has the power.
In an apology titled, "Funny Or Die is Sorry for Lying about Hoverboards," actor Christopher Lloyd owns up to the ruse that went on a day too long.
Trust us: If hoverboards were as real as this one from a mysterious company called HUVr, the world really would be changed forever. Or at the very least, it would be way more fun.
Antony Ingram knows his tech. He's noticed there's not long left before hoverboards should be the norm. He's also got some words to say about electric cars.
Get your feet on the big bad bully's hoverboard from "Back to the Future Part II." The prop is black, red, pointy, and plenty expensive.

The 404 takes a trip to Hill Valley in 2015 to geek out on Mattel's limited edition, full-scale Hoverboard replica from "Back to the Future II." Replete with a scooter handle hole, velcro ankle strap, motion sensors, and "whooshing" sound effects, the only thing missing is the hover conversion -- and no, it doesn't work on water.
Mattel is releasing a replica of the "Back to the Future" hoverboard, but sadly, it doesn't really float. Maybe the company should get in touch with this DIYer.
Mattel is making a replica of the Back to the Future hoverboard -- with one unfortunate flaw...
Mattel announces that it will finally release a 1:1 replica of the "Back to the Future" hoverboard. Unfortunately, it does not glide on water.

The Start of a Journey in Digital Marketing
One year ago I was a business student vaguely interested in digital marketing. I had been reading many ROI success stories in various business journals where companies used Search Engine Marketing and wanted to know more. I had worked with social media in the past, but I was interested in enhancing my knowledge in other sectors of digital marketing.

Baby It's Cold 12x16 Pillow Cover in White
This pillow cover is made from a 100% cotton fabric in the color "natural linen." It features the phrase "Baby It's Cold Outside" in white ink. The pillow cover is made to fit a 12 by 16 inch pillow form.
The image was burned onto a silk screen and then hand printed onto the pillow covers.
Because all of our products are handmade, items may not be perfectly identical. However, the photo does closely represent the product.
All Dear Lillie items come with a beautiful hang tag and are wrapped in tissue closed together with a Dear Lillie sticker. It makes a lovely gift!

Every time it rains, smart umbrellas would use sensors to detect falling drops, and then use Bluetooth to send a report to a smartphone app. As people walk around with umbrellas throughout a city during a storm, each app would send in data to a central system where meteorologists could use it to come up with better predictions.

Small audiences attended the lectures as specialists on environment presented facts and figures about the living and dying around us. Highlighting the week was a panel discussion by representatives from local churches on the subject of the population expansion, held Wednesday noon on E-day. Dr. Joyce Glidden of the philosophy department will head the clean-up project, beginning today at 1:00 p.m. at the security building, on the south end of the ' campus. Other events which are scheduled for today are, at 11:00 a.m., a lecture by Dale Bryner of the art department, "Man and the Community," and a seminar by Faye Fanning, past Utah State Legislator, "Solid Waste as a Future Resource." Both have been scheduled to be held in Union building room 325. jj r- .r- - J! .v: -x I'm.- - Elections today Primary elections are being held today, pending any last minute, final notice, or typing errors, and election tables will be located at the usual places.

"5 r Looking for pollution is like searching for truth; from a distance it looms up large and dark, but upon closer examination, it becomes hazy and indistinct. The pollution in Ogden is not to the point where lives are being lost, it is to a point, and has been, where the dinginess from the lower end overwhelms the luxury at the upper end. Schools with coal or oil furnaces belch carbon into the pool of grey air above the city, and a county incinerator burns long hours to accomodate the workload. Both are funded directly from taxes. Semi trucks pass Ogden on the freeways every few minutes, each adding its own kind of pollution to the valley. The drivers ease up on the throttle when they see a camera, and the factorys burn more at night and on cloudy days.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Great recent blog post from Grant Wiggins who (again) argues against using formulaic "strategies" for teaching reading. He argues that the very word "strategy" is used in a sloppy way too often. We'd get better results from teaching the student to choose whatever techniques, strategies, tactics or skills would dissect the reading most effectively. Read more for the details here.

Reading Blog!: Write Beside Them by Penny Kittle -
"For 10 minues out of each 90 minute class, we read a book. Any book. A comic book, magazine, anything […] And when we wrote, it was about what we wanted to write about […] Mrs. Kittle emphasized embracing your own literacy; owning what you write, reading what you want." pg 4
I really liked this…
Found this by a student reflecting on what it's like to write in class. Thoughts?
Hello everyone!
I'm Allison Best, 7VWP's intern for the semester! Dr. Franke asked me to post for this blog daily, so in my first post, I'm going to talk a little bit about what got me inspired and interested in writing and link to a site with some of my favorite writing exercises!
Here's the website: http://www.warren-wilson.edu/~creativewriting/Prompts.php
What I love about this collection of writing prompts is it's a combination of all of my favorite ones from throughout my educational career. The one thing that I always dreaded, especially in High School, was when we'd begin class with a free-write. Sometimes it was for a grade; sometimes it was just to warm us up before class started. It was overwhelming to write about anything I wanted. I'd psych myself out — is this worth writing about? Is this even interesting? Should I talk about my morning? What's the point? Unless I was feeling particularly inspired that morning, I would slack off and either write nothing or nothing that I cared about.
My teachers would say that to have a free-write was to remove the stress, the pressure, to just get the feel for writing down. The thing that got me inspired as a young writer, however, wasn't the freedom to write; it was the interesting, quirky, and sometimes restrictive writing exercises. Like writing a story with only monosyllabic words; writing about a given person, an item, and an activity (my favorite story was about a man waiting in line with a single pearl earring in his pocket). Using details to describe people – "what's the name of an old lady who volunteers at an animal shelter, who wins a million dollars on a scratch off?"; "what's the desk look like of a person six months sober?".
These things inspired me. And talking about the writing exercises pushed me to look at the world, my environment, my books, my life for all the little subtleties and nuances that make writing so profound and exciting and fresh. My teachers let me write about how chores suck, about my boyfriend of one month (and soon after, my new ex-boyfriend), about my rollercoaster relationship with my sister, about friends using drugs and having sex. They let me write what was pertinent to me, but they made me do it differently. They pushed and prodded and didn't accept average.
Not even with my writing exercises.
I hope you enjoy the list!
Oh, and something else that's cool? A link that shows you how to make your own quill pen! This is pretty awesome too!
How can institutions think creatively and generously?
Finding Our Way into Memoir
Presented by Sarah Marcham and Jacqueline Franke
"Anyone who survived childhood has enough material to write for the rest of his or her life." – Flannery O'Connor
Join us on Saturday, January 5th as two local teacher-writers, students of both the Seven Valleys Writing Project's "Summer Institute" and Marge Piercy's Memoir Lab, share a series of writing activities designed to tap into your life experience and start you on that memoir you've always been meaning to write. We will explore the power of writing seductive openings that invite readers in and also create focus and direction for the writer.
There is no cost associated with this workshop. Coffee and light breakfast starts at 8:30. Held January 5 from 9-12 in the Beard Building (9 Main Street, Cortland, NY). Pre-register at BT BOCES MyLearningPlan.

If communism was working the way its progenitors wanted it to, would it be better than capitalism?
The main reason why communism was made was people wanted to be equal without getting restricted by their environment, but nowadays communism is abused by some dictators such as North Korean leaders. Besides, capitalism also has its own problem. There are so many people who didn't have opportunities to try what they really wanted to do due to their poverty or else.
If communism was working as it should be, would it be better than capitalism?

May 2 2013: First we need to know how Cuba is doing? What do you think? I see that most people believe that they are really bad.
We need to compare this little isle with the Latin America reality. If we do that, we'll see that they are not so bad.
Someone will say: "But they don't have internet, facebook, McDonalds...". Ok, but they don't have criminality, don't have misery, don't have kids firing guns each other. Which do you prefer?
As usual, the answer is always on truth. If everyone keeps looking for truth and coldly analyzing our reality we'll see some hope in humanity.

May 2 2013: And why do the States in the Southern US continually talk about succession? Why do almost half of all americans want to fire guns at the other half?
perhaps these people would leave if they could instead of being held captive by our growing prison industry.
May 5 2013: Hi Krisztian,
When i went to Cuba in 1993 and then in 1994 i was lucky enough to make good friends there. Some of them did talk about leaving the island, but most of them didn't. I met workers, teachers, musicians and even some ex-members of the communist party who left it when they felt betrayed. I was not there to make a study so I don't have statistical data.
But i can tell you that most people love their country and they are pretty well educated, and most people understand the economic reality of a stubborn leadership that does not want to yield to external pressure and a foreign country that wants to force their government to yield by directly affecting citizens.
Without a doubt, the media in the USA (based on my experience) and in Europe (from what i hear from some people there) vastly over-reports the attempts to leave the island and almost never reports on the people who are happy to stay there even if they disagree with their government. Don't even talk about the many who blindly support it.
Perhaps this could shed a light on which country they consider preferable
May 5 2013: if you ask the people of north korea, you will probably find that most of them don't want to leave. if 30% of the population want to leave, the system collapses. so a 5% wanting to leave does not mean 95% are satisfied. but it does mean something. it means that the situation is so terrible, some people are on the verge to be ready to risk their life to escape. attributing this to american brainwashing is ... well, not so convincing. try to brainwash people of switzerland or singapore to flee their country.

Critical Essay by Ann Bonsor
SOURCE: "'One Huge and Complex Episode': The Diary of C. S. Lewis," in Contemporary Review, Vol. 260, No. 1514, March, 1992, pp. 145-9.
In the following essay, Bonsor discusses Lewis's personal life and relationships as revealed in All My Road Before Me.
'If Theism had done nothing else for me, I should still be thankful that it cured me of the time-wasting and foolish practice of keeping a diary' wrote C. S. Lewis in 1955. This is an interesting and not altogether unexpected statement when one considers Lewis's complicated and secretive personality, and although it is true that the 'huge and complex episode' he refers to in his autobiography Surprised by Joy almost certainly concerns his relationship with Mrs. Moore, one might say the phrase describes as well as any other the extraordinary contradictions...

Significant snowfall loomed for parts of Utah on Sunday, leading to weather alerts for much of the state's most populous areas.
Storm and blizzard watches, which start Sunday night and continue until Tuesday afternoon, extend from the western Uintah mountains, across the Wasatch Front and through the state's central and southern mountain ranges.

The snowfall will start in the state's highest elevations Sunday night, but by Monday evening will encompass all mountain areas, according to the National Weather Service. In addition to the snow, meteorologist predicted strong, gusty winds, with a significant likelihood of driving snow and drifts. The northern facing slopes are expected to receive the most fresh powder.
The eastern Uinta Mountains, including the cities of Manila and Dutch John, also had a blizzard watch in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon.
Up to 20 inches of snow was expected to fall in those areas, with drifts of up to 3 feet possible. Wind gusts of up to 60 mph were also possible.
Starting Monday afternoon, motorists driving along Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 6 should use caution as well. Strong crosswinds — with gusts exceeding 55 mph — are expected to buffet vehicles traveling those routes.
But there is some good news for backcountry skiers. Avalanche risks for the Ogden, Salt Lake and Provo ranges was low Sunday. The Logan, Skyline and Uinta ranges were under a moderate risk.

LESSON #13: Be accessible. It always cracks me up when I hear, "Wow, you answered the phone," or, "I didn't expect Neil to call me back." If my phone rings, I answer it. If I need to make a customer service call, I do it. The same goes for employees. If they need me, I'm there for them. The only reason to ever close my office door is when I'm on a coaching call. Being accessible has everything to do with culture building.
LESSON #14: Don't take yourself too seriously. Laugh and have fun. Leaders don't have to play that role 24/7/365.
LESSON #15: It's OK to obsess. As a leader, there are certain things I choose to obsess over. I obsess over my company's brand image. I obsess over the quality of service and experience we deliver. I obsess over my writing. I obsess over delivering my message in a keynote. Obsessing over certain things is my way of raising the bar for my company and myself. I'm really OK with my obsessing. I wish more leaders obsessed over what's really important.
LESSON #16: Numbers tell the truth. Numbers tell the truth about how your company is doing, where you are strong and where you are weak. Knowing the truth forces better and tougher decisions.
LESSON #17: Don't run out of cash. As an entrepreneur, I know what happens when my company runs out of cash. I get to sacrifice my paycheck to ensure that my employees get theirs. I get to borrow money on my home to fund the company. I don't need any additional motivation than this to manage cash flow.
LESSON #18: Protect the culture. In my No-Compromise Leadership book, I wrote, "The ultimate responsibility of the no-compromise leader is to protect the integrity of the company's culture." Allowing any form of contamination to infect is a compromise.
LESSON #19: You can overcome depression. Depression got the best of me in 2007. Can't explain it. Don't understand it. To this day, the experience of depression seems surreal to me. I took three months off, starting working out and doing distance riding. I returned to Strategies with renewed determination and the self-confidence to lead my company through anything the business gods can throw at it. No compromise.
LESSON #20: Do what you love, for as long as you can!

State, Mashpee Tribe Gaming Compact Includes Land Claim Settlement Provision
By: Geoff Spillane
Published: 07/13/12
A section of the compact announced this week between Governor Deval L. Patrick and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe suggests that the state will negotiate with the tribe to settle the tribe's historic land claims in Mashpee and elsewhere in the region.
The language in the document has caught town officials by surprise and is set to be thoroughly examined by the town's legal counsel.
What the provision may mean for the tribe's claims to aboriginal rights to land, in part the result of a 17th century deed granting the tribe land in Mashpee and parts of surrounding towns, was not clear yesterday. Neither the tribe nor the governor's office would comment on the matter.
The negotiations suggested in the compact would offer a means of settling the Mashpee tribe's outstanding land claims without litigation.
While the entire text of the compact had not yet been released to the public as of yesterday evening, the Enterprise obtained the section of the document that has raised concern at town hall. Referred to as a concession by the commonwealth to the tribe, it reads:
"…the Commonwealth has agreed to use its best efforts to negotiate an agreement in 2012 with the Tribe with the mutual goal of facilitating the exercise by the Tribe and its individual members of aboriginal hunting and fishing rights on certain lands in the Commonwealth, including public lands and Tribal lands; and to use its best efforts to negotiate an agreement in 2013 with the Tribe to resolve certain title claims asserted by the Tribe involving land and water in and around Mashpee, giving consideration to the conveyance to the Tribe of some such land and water now publicly held."
Mashpee Town Manager Joyce M. Mason said that she has asked town counsel to obtain a copy of the compact and determine how it may affect the community. The analysis must be done quickly, however, as the legislature must vote on the compact by July 31.
"The language certainly raises questions. My first reaction was why does the state want to get involved in local properties and what happens in our community? We need to make sure our local contingent on Beacon Hill knows what it means to our town before they cast their votes. We have an obligation to let our citizens and legislators know what this really means," said Ms. Mason, noting that she did not want to cause undue alarm among residents, as it was still early in the information gathering process.
State Senator Daniel A. Wolf (D-Harwich) said yesterday afternoon that while he has not yet had access to full text of the compact, he has already reached out to the governor's office to obtain more information regarding the potential land negotiations.
"The language we are looking at will require a lot of discussion—and quickly. I am certainly tuned in to this issue and will be getting as much information as possible, and will be contacting officials at Mashpee Town Hall. I am curious as to why that local officials have not been briefed on this matter," he said.
The tribe and the Town of Mashpee signed an intergovernmental agreement in 2008 in which the tribe waived all claims to private or town-owned property in Mashpee. The agreement, in which the tribe also committed to not build a casino in Mashpee, makes no mention of releasing its claims to state and federally owned land in Mashpee. It does not cover land outside of Mashpee. Nor was the agreement approved by Congress, a necessary step to assure the full legal validity of the contract.
To extinguish their claims to property, tribes around New England have entered into settlements with federal and state governments that have in turn provided the tribes with either land or money. The Mashpee tribe is one of the few federally recognized tribes that has not fully resolved its land claims.
At the time of the negotiations over the intergovernmental agreement, the tribe on several occasions expressed interest in state-owned land at the Massachusetts Military Reservation. The tribe's claim to land in Mashpee may be the strongest, given the historic deed that was the subject of the tribe's land suits during the 1970s, but it also has historic ties to land throughout the region.
According the Town of Mashpee Assessing Office, the state's largest land holding in Mashpee is more than 400 acres of land at South Cape Beach State Park.
The governor's office yesterday referred all questions regarding the land claims provision to the tribe.
A spokesman for the tribal council did not respond to questions from the Enterprise.

Racial Disparities in Marijuana Arrests
African-Americans and whites are using marijuana at the same rate, but Blacks are nearly four times more likely to be arrested for possessing it. Police receive thousands of tax dollars yearly for these arrests, revealing a troubling numbers game.

100%Carex Self Standing Cane Tip
I bought two of these one for myself and one for a friend. My friend has to use her cane all of the time and loves this tip because she no longer needs to worry about her cane falling over. I am using mine on a folding cane which I use when I travel. My cane was always falling over when I tried to take pictures now I won't have to worry about that anymore. I would recomend this cane tip for anybody who has ever had to bend over to pick up a falling cane. This tip even lets the cane stand upright on carpet which a normal tip does not.4/20/2014 8:41 PMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

LANSING (WKZO) -- Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero continues his push to legalize recreational use of small amounts of marijuana.
"My personal view is that marijuana prohibition has been a complete failure that has mainly succeeded in filling up our prisons with minor drug offenders at an extremely high cost to the taxpayers of this state," Bernero stated recently.
Bernero says he is not surprised that a petition supporting a proposal to legalize small quantities of marijuana has garnered enough signatures to send the issue to the voters this fall.
