Ashland, Ore. -- Ashland City Council members tabled talks Tuesday night on the new Normal Neighborhood plan. It's a proposal to develop 94 acres in Southern Ashland's urban growth boundary.
Most of the meeting was testimony from residents near the area but not everyone got to speak because they ran out of time. Councilors had to push the issue to the May 20th city council meeting.
Residents Tuesday night spoke mostly against the density of the project which could add up to 450 housing units. There was also concern over proposed building heights, sewer problems, water supply, and traffic issues. But city planners said the new construction off of Normal Avenue is a way to accommodate more people and businesses.
94 acres would be designated for different types of housing, at least 6 of those acres for apartments. Only one resident spoke at the meeting in all out favor of the plan.
Many were concerned about 5 acres of wetlands in the zone. But city planners said the plan will leave the wetlands completely untouched.
The Normal Neighborhood plan has been in the works since 2011. This was supposed to be a final version of the plan, but more public comment is expected before a potential vote on May 20th.

Using money raised from our annual fundraiser, The Alexander Aerial Armada, the GDGO will be planting some trees at Lenora this Friday, and installing a raised basket on Hole #7. The trees will define and tighten the fairways of 9/10 and act as guardians for 9 and 10's baskets. Gwinnett County will be assisting us, and we would appreciate any disc golfers who would like to come out and help with either/both projects. Work begins at 9 am.
I'd like to give a shout out to Steve Adams for his original design; Ryan Harris for his professional rendition, aid in securing the trees and overseeing installation; and Mikey Curtis for designing and building the raised basket. And the biggest shout out of all to the supporting members of the GDGO! There are many of you who aren't voting members yet (you can sign up on the ADGO main page), but I consider all who play in Gwinnett and support our cause to be members in spirit. Thank you all, and we hope you enjoy the new additions to Lenora.

A strained gluteal muscle is a partial or complete tear of the small fibers of the gluteal muscles. The gluteal muscles are a group of three muscles in the buttocks.
Gluteal strain is not a common sports injury. Treatment depends on the severity of the strain.

A gluteal strain can be caused by:
Factors that may increase your chance of getting gluteal strain include:
Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask you about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Most gluteal strains can be diagnosed with a physical exam. Your doctor may want images of the area if severe damage is suspected. Images may be taken with
Muscle strains are graded according to their severity:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Recovery time ranges depending on the grade of your injury. Treatment steps may include:
Your muscle will need time to heal. Avoid activities that place extra stress on these muscles:
Apply an ice or a cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days after the injury. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel.
To manage pain, your doctor may recommend:
Use heat only when you are returning to physical activity. Heat may then be used before stretching or getting ready to play sports to help loosen the muscle.
When the acute pain is gone, start gentle stretching as recommended. Stay within pain limits. Hold each stretch for about 10 seconds and repeat six times. Stretch several times a day.
Begin strengthening exercises for your muscles as recommended.

I'm not sure what's the best part of this story — that Deadmau5 is selling his Nyan Cat Ferrari 458 for $380,000 or that he's doing it on Craigslist.
You can find the listing right here, though I have a feeling it's going to disappear in not too terribly long. Therefore, I'm including it as a screenshot below, to be preserved forever.
I have to say that I deeply adore the "majestic Purrari," andI'm also happy that anything over the $380k listing goes to charity. The Toronto Humane Society will be the recipient of the charity extra while the buyer gets an iPod full of Nyan Cat songs, Deadmau5 advertises.
Also, you can film a coffee run with the DJ if you buy the car, as Deadmau5 confirmed on Twitter.
like i said, whoever buys the car, can come and film a coffee run with me :) should be funny to see how this turns out.

We won't discount the first few stops along the way of Fashion Month (guys, it's been a good ride), but there's just something about the magical and storied presentations of Paris Fashion Week that always make us feel like they saved some of the best for last. With a wave of excitement in the air — including Hedi Slimane debuting at Saint Laurent (sans Yves) — the shows also seem to capture and preserve the legacy of the most famous fashion houses.There was something old (iconic labels such as Valentino), something new (a Kenzo revival that just keeps getting better), and even something blue (Dries Van Noten plaid coats), which perfectly brought the month's worth of first looks, parties, and Instagrams to a ceremonious end. Relive the highlights of the last stop with our salute to the 20 Paris Fashion Week looks that completely brought the house down.

The Charles County Sheriff's Office is working in partnership with the Maryland State Police Criminal Investigations Bureau and other regional police agencies to investigate inappropriate pictures of young girls on a social media site that were brought to their attention during the weekend.
Inappropriate pictures of teen girls and women, including nude photographs and close-ups of individual body parts, have been circulating on a popular social networking site, according to information provided by the sheriff's office.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Diane Richardson said agencies are working with the social networking site to address the concern.
She said accounts were created with pictures of Charles County teens that were posted without permission from the teens. With the help from the Internet site the accounts showed up on and other users reporting images as inappropriate, Richardson said photos were deleted, and accounts were disabled.
In a Facebook post Monday, Charles County Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) thanked those who contacted the sheriff's office about the issue.
"It took a community of shared information to end this chapter. ... We need to remain vigilant in efforts to keep this from happening again," he wrote in the post.
Richardson said the sheriff's office received many calls about the accounts. She said unfortunately situations such as this are not uncommon on the Internet, and they can often be difficult to stop.
Sheriff Rex Coffey addressed the concern in an email statement.
"Every now and then we see this type of activity on social media, and it's appalling. These sites are hurtful for those whose photos appear on them, and when we are made aware of a problem, we do everything we can to resolve it. This is yet another reminder that people can abuse any photo that is sent through social media, and it's important to talk with your children frequently about the dangers of taking these types of photos," Coffey (D) said, according to the statement.
Richardson said one way to help prevent it is through education. She said school resource officers assigned to every middle and high school in the county talk to students about safe Internet use.
Supervisor of School Resource Officers for schools in northern Charles Sgt. Mike Vaughn said middle school students learn about safe Internet practices during the Drug Awareness Resistance Education program, and on the high school level, students hear from officers about Internet safety through the Truth and Consequences program.
Vaughn said students are taught about Internet footprints, and if there is information they don't want a future employer or someone else to see, not to post it.
Officers also address inappropriate photographs with high school students and the dangers of posting them to the Internet or even just sharing them with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Richardson said the joint investigation is continuing.

Nik HDR EFEX PRO 2 image mismatch
September 29, 2012, 09:55:00 AM »
I've started using Nik HDR EFEX PRO 2 as one of my tools in making the photos I want. However I've been having problems with it. The image in the adjustment window does not match the image once it is merged and transferred to Photoshop. The transferred image is lighter, lower in contrast and saturation. The monitor is the same for viewing both adjustment and transferred images. I asked about this with Nik tech support. Their response was, " In situations such as these we suggest resetting the Photoshop Preferences first. This will reset actions and some Photoshop setups, so we suggest saving those first if you have some that you do not want to lose. To reset the preferences:
hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file.
This should sort out the issue between 32 to 16 bit handling and processing of the image."
I followed their instructions but the problem remains unresolved. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

It's been about 6 weeks since buying and installing Nik HDR EFEX PRO 2. Still no help offered from Nik other than what they said which I included in my original post here.
Since first asking this I have upgraded from CS5 to CS6. The discrepancy is much greater in CS6 to the point it is not useable.
Anyone else experience the discrepancy between the photo in the adjustment window vs the output HDR photo? Any thoughts on this are appreciated.

Being that I posed the original question on September 29 and have not received a reply let me ask a different though related question to those using HDR EFEX PRO 2. Does your resulting hdr look exactly like the image you see in the adjustment window?

I think you are asking in the wrong forum. Apparently there are no NIK HDR users here. I did a brief search for you, and unfortunately I don't find many NIK HDR users anywhere. Very few posts on the 6 photography forums I use, not much in Google groups or Flickr either.
The response you received from NIK support to "reset your Photoshop preferences" is the typical answer from an untrained support rep who has reached the end of their script and does not have a clue.
Given your experience, I'd suggest it's time to cut your losses and move on to some other HDR program. Maybe you can get a refund from NIK. If they won't give it freely, you can try to file a protest with your credit card company.
Most of the HDR programs I have used have a problem with the active preview matching the true final result. Some are better than others, but none are perfect. That's because the HDR functions are quite complicated and time consuming, so the programs generate their previews from a small downsized version of the image. They don't actually process the true final image until you say you are done.
If you have not already done so, you should check out the HDR alternatives. The usual suspects are Photomatix, Oloneo Photo Engine, DynamicPhoto HDR, and SNS-HDR. At least these have a larger user base than NIK and thus more potential for user support. Each of these has a user forum somewhere with relatively good activity.
And with the release of CS6 (and LR4/ACR7) there is a new HDR process avaialble that shows good results. Since you converted to CS6, you have this HDR process avaialble to you. The old HDR Pro process in CS5 was a weak competitor, but in CS6/ACR7 the ability to process 32bit "merged" HDR files was added to camera raw.
So the new process involves using Photoshop's "Merge to HDR Pro" to create the 32 bit file, saving this file as a TIF, and then re-opening that TIF in ACR to do the "tonemapping" process. Using ACR to tonemap the 32 bit file is entirely different from (and far superior to) using the old "HDR Toning" feature of Photoshop.

I did try it but had so many problems even getting it to work at all, I never spent that much time using it, I did noticed that the preview looks more "hdr" than the resulting image so it's not just you, but I've had the same "preview not matching output" with other Nik products so it seems to be the way they work on some computers.

I use HDR Efex Pro 2 and don't have the problem you describe. My preview looks identical to what I see when I open the file in CS5. I am running the software on a PC and using a profiled NEC PA241W monitor.

I have Nik HDR but seldom use it. I do a lot of sun in images and Nik gets rather funky around the sun. I use SNS HDR Pro which handles such conditions much more gracefully. Also have Photomatix, Oleano, and have tried CS6 32 bit generation with LR 4.2 tone mapping. They all lack compared to SNS, sometimes to the point of being unusable.

Redcrown, I also found a lack of shared information about NIK products on user forums, not sure if there is a better place to post than here.
I have Photomatix and have used it quite a few times. I occasionally use HDR programs as a tool to help achieve a natural looking photo in cases where there is extreme contrast in an architectural subject. Though it was difficult because of the difference in the final HDR compared to the adjustment window, I found that NIK generated a more natural looking photo. The ease of use was it's strong point. With Photomatix I have to open raw files and save them prior to using them. With Nik HDR I could just have the raw conversions open in PS, no need to name and save the files.
Yes, I've already requested a refund from NIK but have not had a response to that request yet. Maybe their engineers are still working on my problem
. while they're at it they should also work to improve their customer service.
Thanks, I'll try out the new HDR process in CS6, maybe it will do what I need.
Thanks too to DaveJ, Sniper and leuallen for your experience with Nik.
Dave, maybe this is more of a problem on Macs. I'm using the same NEC monitor as you and view both the adjustment window image and final on the NEC.

Peter, good luck with NIK refunds. A couple more comments.
There has been a long standing debate about the pros and cons of feeding RAW files directly to HDR progams vs. converting those RAW files to TIF with a dedicated RAW converter and then feeding the resulting TIFs to the HDR program. I'm on the side of converting first and feeding converted TIFs to HDR programs.
All the HDR programs, like Photomatix and NIK, use a freeware called DCRAW to convert raw files. None of the HDR programs work directly on the original RAW data. The DCRAW program is a decent raw converter, but it does not compete well with others like LR/ACR. Most importantly, DCRAW, when imbedded in an HDR program, does not allow you to apply noise reduction, capture sharpening, white balance, lens corrections, CA removal, or camera profiles. Even if you set those adjustments using LR or ACR, they are ignored by DCRAW.
The "new" process using Photoshop+ACR does process raw files, and honors all those key settings. In fact, the Merge to HDR Pro function works best using RAW files, and works rather poorly using converted TIFs. However, it ignores all ACR tone controls - exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows, blacks, whites, etc. That makes sense because adjusting tones is what HDR is all about, so pre-adjusting tone is kind of counter productive.
I find the Photoshop+ACR approach to HDR greates good "natural" results. It's actually incapable of creating the bizzare, "over-the-top" results that come out of many HDR programs. The tonemapping controls in ACR, mostly Exposure, Highlights, and Shadows, simply won't go far enough to create garbage. However, after much experimenting I still find myself using HDR programs instead.
I use Oloneo, DynamicPhoto, and SNS. I still have Photomatix, but gave up on it long ago. Oloneo wins about 80% of the time. I feel DynamicPhoto does a slightly better job on cloudy skies, but at the same time DynamicPhoto tends to make mush out of midtones in trees, grass, bushes. OloNeo does not tame highlights as well as others, leaving some areas too hot. SNS is confusing. Sometimes it creates beautiful, superior results, sometimes not. But it's default settings are usually very close to perfect, requiring no further adjustment. SNS increases noise more than the others, including the potential for introducing a strange cross-hatch pattern in skies. But only when there is noise in the originals. If I apply good noise reduction both before and after SNS processing, results are OK. SNS is particularly good at tonemapping single exposures (as opposed to bracketed sets).

All the HDR programs, like Photomatix and NIK, use a freeware called DCRAW to convert raw files. None of the HDR programs work directly on the original RAW data. The DCRAW program is a decent raw converter, but it does not compete well with others like LR/ACR. Most importantly, DCRAW, when imbedded in an HDR program, does not allow you to apply noise reduction, capture sharpening, white balance, lens corrections, CA removal, or camera profiles. Even if you set those adjustments using LR or ACR, they are ignored by DCRAW.
This is not correct in regard to NIK HDR Efex Pro 2. If you import a RAW file from Bridge or Photoshop, images are processed to TIFF using the ACR develop settings, they are not ignored.

Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.

In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Many scientists feel that the ID movement is an attempt to locate gaps in our scientific knowledge and then to presume those gaps can only be filled by intervention of an external intelligence. It is important to note that ID leaders do not view their work this way.
Over the past two decades, the intelligent design movement has been working diligently to offer a parallel version of modern science, one that can scientifically show God at work in creation.
Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of The Language of God, along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. -Amazon
In this video, five notable scientists (John Polkinghorne, David Wilkinson, Rodney Holder, Peter Williams and Graham Swinerd) offer their perspective on the strengths and limitations of the fine-tuning argument as a pointer to God.
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
Foster uses biblical exegesis to explain why Intelligent Design is not the answer and refuses to accept quick answers to the deep questions about a creator god.
I am asked all the time to explain, in a nutshell, why irreducible complexity is not a valid argument in favor of intelligent design. However, I have never heard anyone put it in a more cogent form than Oxford biophysicist Ard Louis in this video.
In this video clip, Oxford University biophysicist, Ard Louis posits that one of the reasons Christians are hostile to evolution is that they latch onto a particular definition, which puts it in conflict with their theological convictions.
Ken Miller's book addresses some of the key assertions of advocates of Intelligent Design.
Ruse examines the concept of 'design' in nature, explaining why it still remains a strong influence despite the scientific revolution, and historically, how it dominated Western thought from ancient Greece (Plato) to the advent and predominance of Christianity.

MLB Scout School: Day 3
"Words equal numbers and numbers equal words."
-MLSB Scout Development Handbook
I had walked this path between the parking lot and the A's practice fields before. Back then the media was photographing every step my daughter and I took. I remember that feeling of wanting to hide but yet knowing that I couldn't. Because I was on a mission. I was going to become the first woman to throw batting practice to the Athletics. And with each pitch, I would tell the story of how much women and girls love the game of baseball.
Today, I was at the A's spring training site as a participant of the MLSB Scout Development Program. We were there to practice our evaluation skills on the instructional players. We would then go back to the classroom and write a scouting report.
The job of a scout is not only to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a player but also to be able to tell what he or she sees. A player report must be concise and paint an overall picture of the player, including what the player can do now and what he or she may be able to do in the future.
A report will include both a number that rates the overall future potential of the player (OFP) and a worded summation that answers questions such as what future role that player may have a with a major league team. The scout's words must support the numbers and the numbers must support the words.
My 13-year old daughter, Jasmine, bashfully put her head down in an effort to avoid the cameras as we walked from the A's parking lot to the field. I remembered whispering to her to, "look up; it's the one thing I have learned in life." I thought of Jasmine and my BP journey as I walked back to the bus with my fellow scouts. And as I looked up, I felt a sense of community. My story was no longer linked with each pitch I threw but now with each scouting report I wrote. Now it is not just my dreams and the dreams of girls and women who love baseball but also the dreams of each player I scout and their own aspirations to one day play in the Big Leagues. I am not alone; I am in a community of baseball dreamers.

- National Day of Prayer Next Week
- New Video Resource on Postpartum Depression
- Spirituality and Health: An Interview with Harold Koenig
National Day of Prayer Next Week
The 4th Annual National Day of Prayer for Mental Illness Recovery and Understanding will be observed nationwide on Tuesday, October 9th, during Mental Illness Awareness Week.
If you have the opportunity, please make an announcement about this day of prayer to your faith community this weekend, and speak from your heart. Tell your congregation how important your faith and the use of prayer are in your recovery from your mental illness or in your ability to cope with the challenges of having a loved one with mental illness.
All are encouraged to make time on Tuesday, either individually or corporately, to pray for those living with mental illness, and to pray for greater understanding in families, communities, and society.
For more information and resources, visit the Day of Prayer page.
New Video Resource on Postpartum Depression
The birth of a baby is a time of great joy. But women can also find themselves feeling overwhelmed. They may even have negative feelings toward their child that can make them feel confused and guilty. Many new mothers are ashamed to admit these feelings and think they are a "bad mother" for having such thoughts. And so they suffer in silence.
Mental Health Ministries has just released a new DVD entitled "Breaking the Silence: Postpartum Depression and Families of Faith." This is an ecumenical resource to educate faith communities about postpartum depression. Background information on symptoms and treatment is provided by mental health professionals. Two women share their personal stories about how this experience affected their faith and recovery. There is also a discussion guide. For more information, or to purchase the DVD, visit the Mental Health Ministries Web site.
Spirituality and Health: An Interview with Harold Koenig

oh well -- it looked like a good start
oh well -- it looked like a good start
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
Frazier called out on strikes. Two on, a double steal, but two strikeouts end the inning.
Which leads me to a question I've been meaning to ask.
Are the Reds hitters succumbing to the pressure of games against good teams?
The Reds futility with RISP continues...........
Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser....Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed...the very idea of losing is hateful to an American.
Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.
Getting RISP with two outs is a curse for this team.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I don't think it has anything to do with pressure. It has to do with the fact that the team has struggled with injuries and has insufficient depth to cope.
The fact that Cozart and Hanigan have been ciphers and Frazier is mired in a sophomore slump complicates that calculus.
Throw in a couple of ill-timed bullpen meltdowns and there you have it.
Even with all that, they're still in pretty good shape to make the postseason. Things could be a lot worse.
Without looking up his swing % in the strike zone and outside the zone...I'm guessing that Frazier has some funky numbers. Maybe it just seems that way, but I swear he takes a lot of pitches in the zone, then swings at a ton of stuff out of the zone.
Izturis almost goes yard. But not quite.
Bottom line is, IMO, except for a few, our offensive players are just average to way below average hitters.

How To Buy A Kneeboard
If you are looking for a unique watersport that is similar to water skiing, and just as thrilling, kneeboarding
is for you. Kneeboarding offers all new challenges and thrills, but having the right equipment for your size and
ability is essential to enjoy the sport.
Choosing the Right Kneeboard
Choosing between the two basic types of kneeboards offered by top manufacturers depends primarily on what type of
kneeboarding you plan to do.
Types of Kneeboards
Kneeboard Styles
Whether you are a beginner or advanced, there are two general styles of kneeboards, and the one you choose depends on what you are planning to do out on the water.
Kneeboard Construction
There are various parts of every kneeboard that affect its performance.
Return To Top
Choosing the Right Rope
Kneeboarders, require a stiffer rope than water skiers to help perform tricks. A tighter, stiffer rope that does
not stretch helps you get more air and be able to pull yourself through flips and spins.
Low stretch
Rope length

Back in March of 2011, we wrote about Penny Chic, the project of L.A.-based blogger Shauna Miller, and her controversial decision to dedicate her blog to parsing and celebrating Wal-Mart fashion. As she stated then, "Do I prefer Walmart to Neiman Marcus? Of course not…but looking stylish and effortless is not hard when you're wearing a $5K outfit. What's more intriguing to me is the challenge of looking chic at a time when this season's must-have Little Black Dress is no longer an option." Of course, the moral issues of Walmart's labor, economic, and business practices complicate the issue (of which we dissect in the aforementioned article), but Miller is making sure that this season's must-have little black dress can be available at Walmart, too.
Launching this February 15, Miller is debuting a four-piece collection of LBDs at Walmart.com, under the moniker, "Penny Chic by Shauna Miller." Featuring on-trend design elements and flattering shapes, these dresses cost $20 a pop, are made in the U.S.A. (and outside of Walmart production), and are available in sizes XS to XL, as well as sizes 16-22.
Says Miller, "It's been quite a ride the past couple of months, as I'm sure you can imagine. As a blogger, I am one of the first to come out with my own major product line, let alone a collection of clothes at one of the largest retailers in the world, although to be clear, my collection is not exclusive to just Walmart.com and may be sold at other retailers as well."
As a recurring collection, expect to see other basic capsule collections produced by Miller with just as budget-friendly a price tag.

Need a little inspiration, enlightenment, or encouragement? Check out a few recent stories featuring PLNU staff and faculty:
Patricia Leslie, director of PLNU's social work program and member of San Diego's Regional Task Force on the Homeless board of directors, gives insight into the epidemic of addiction. (San Diego City Beat)
Eric Readinger is a familiar face in the Caf. He is also a part of Partnerships with Industry. Read about his day-to-day. (San Diego Union Tribune)
Lynn Reaser, PLNU's chief economist, joins a conversation about the national debt's effect on you. Learn more. (U.S. News & World Report)
At PLNU, tuition currently covers only 77.5 percent of the education costs for a PLNU student. In fact, never in the history of our university has tuition covered the entire cost of a student's education. Who's paying the other 22.5 percent? PLNU receives generous financial support, both large and small, from alumni contributions, donor gifts, corporate sponsorships, and foundations.
For example, if current tuition is $26,500, and a student pays only 77.5 percent of his or her education costs, he or she is getting an unknown scholarship of about $20,000 over the course of four years.
On March 25, PLNU students will celebrate Tuition Freedom Day. The PLNU Alumni Association took the initiative to ASB leaders and Student Congress two years ago. All three have collaborated on designing this event for three years. On this day, PLNU celebrates and thanks the alumni, donors, corporations, and foundations who provide support for our current and future students.

The PLNU speech and debate team's competitive intercollegiate season has now drawn to a close with their last tournament. But the team went out with a bang at National Parliamentary Debate Nationals, hosted by Colorado College in Colorado Springs March 16 - 20.
The team ended the year as the third highest ranked school in the yearlong nationwide sweepstakes. There were hundreds of colleges and universities competing from across the nation, all in one large division at NPDA, including schools like UCLA, Cal Berkeley, and the United States Air Force Academy.
At the NPDA National Championships, the six teams representing PLNU were ranked the 8th top program at the national championship tournament sweepstakes, a ranking that counts your top four teams against all the other program's top four teams at the tournament, all competing within one senior division. PLNU has had many strong teams in the past that have not even cracked the top ten awards in that category. PLNU's 1999 team won the top spot in this particular category.
Senior and team co-president Daniel Nadal was one of only three debaters in the nation selected to this year's All American Parliamentary Debate Team. Nadal was awarded this honor based on his forensics success, high academics, and service to the community. He is now choosing which law school to attend next year.
The team of Ashley Nuckels and Ian Sharpels advanced to the double Octa Final round, and the team of Daniel Nadal and James Wilson advanced to the Triple Octa Final round. Their winning records in preliminary rounds allowed them to participate in the elimination rounds. Three of PLNU's other teams missed that opportunity by only one round.
On March 19, Dr. Doretha O'Quinn, associate dean in PLNU's School of Education and director of the Arcadia Regional Center, was honored as an outstanding African American Educator by Phi Delta Kappa, an international professional association for educators. The honor was based upon her current work at PLNU in reaching out to urban schools, previous work at Biola University and Azusa Pacific University, her publishing, and service to the wider church as a part of the board of directors for the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
Read more about the impact of Dr. O'Quinn in this year's annual report.
The PLNU Speech and Debate Team just won the National Championship in Debate Sweepstakes, scoring double the number of sweepstakes points of the second place school in the Debate Division of the Christian College Nationals. PLNU also won Second Place Sweepstakes in the combined division of Speech and Debate at this 2011 National Christian College Forensics Association (NCCFA) Championship Tournament, hosted at Azusa Pacific University March 11-13.
Senior Daniel Nadal, co-president of the team was named top speaker in the nation, in the Open Division of Parliamentary Debate, and all nine of the PLNU teams entered in Parliamentary Debate advanced to the elimination rounds through posting winning records in preliminary rounds.
In Lincoln Douglas debate, PLNU students won several individual national champion titles as well. MacLean Andrews is the national champion in the senior division. Also noteworthy is two brand new, walk-on debaters this year (with no previous high school debate experience), Ben Carney and Brian Bentley, were both named co-national champions after winning their respective semifinal rounds in Lincoln Douglas debate, advancing to the final round in that division's bracket.
The team has one last National Championship tournament this year. It will be at Colorado College, Colorado Springs.

San Diego leaders received actionable economic analysis recommendation on how to move forward in an ever-changing economy at the 2011 Fermanian Business & Economic Institute's (FBEI) annual economic outlook forum, "Sustaining the Expansion." Dr. Lynn Reaser, FBEI's chief economist, presented her economic forecast for the national, state, and regional economy.
In addition, George Chamberlin, executive editor of the San Diego Daily Transcript, chaired a panel discussion of industry leaders, including Cyrus Mirsaidi, CEO of Molecular Response; Mary Lewis, CFO of the City of San Diego; and Tom Wetherald, director of business development & strategic planning for General Dynamics NASSCO.

Rounding Out the Surface Announcements: New Markets and New Touch Coversby Anand Lal Shimpi on 1/22/2013 12:00 PM EST
3 Comments
Back to Article
zilexa - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkOnly the Surface RT will be released in these new countries, right? Or will the Surface Pro also become available within weeks in these countries?
By the time the Surface RT is fully stocked in these countries.. the hardware is becoming old.. I don't understand why MS didn't take the risk of releasing it in much, much more countries immediately, if you believe in your product (and they have every right to), why such a poor, tiny release? Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkThis happens all the time. I think the SGS2 release was especially late for the US and of course other countries.
The Tegra3 platform was old even when it launched though. :/ Reply
melgross - Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - linkThis isn't anything unusual. Apple is noted for doing this as well. You want to roll out in your home market first. Get some feedback, and ramp up production over time. Reply

Self taught jack of all trades.....master of none. I am a self taught welder/fabricator primamrily. I went to a votech after having been a welder for a couple years just to see if I could learn something. I mostly repair construction/mining equipment as well as fabricate structural steal for NYC tunnels. Job is very diverse.....can be stick welding teeth on a bucket in a hole or TIG welding cast aluminum repairs in the shop.....currently I happen to be rebuilding the apron on a Sandvik Roadheader(google it). I am also a mechanic and machinist(somewhat). I do TIG, MIG, plasma, machining and powdercoating at home for extra loot. I got into welding via my love for lowrider minitrucks......cut em apart and weld em back together....
Another computer guy that likes to burn metal......:<)
Retired Electrical Engineer, primary career was as a product development engineer and manager for a (the) large computer company, communications systems products division.
Watched my Dad (a self taught welder, not his primary work) building stuff when I was a kid.. we grew up kind of poor and many times the only way to get something we needed (rural, semi agricultural environment) was for him to build it..
That inspired me to buy my first AC buzz box welder back in 1979, learn to weld by reading some good books on the subject and go burn some metal...building things I wanted/needed.
Did all the welding on a 67 Bronco a friend of mine built for rock crawling, and outfitting my own 4x4. Have done some welding for hire for a few people, by word of mouth referral, situations I know..
In a job after main career worked for a small company that installs emergency power systems (including some huge, heavy battery banks) for a number of large companies, universities, and hospitals.
Was a fun job that used EE skills to design systems we installed, but at the same time, outfitted a nice welding shop at the business (MIG,Plasma, the usual stuff) I then used the welding and fabrication skills to build some very unusual specialized (powered jack screw lifts, custom A frames to fit in tight locations, battery transport equipment, gantry lift inside a trailer, overhead winch powered lift for loading heavy equipment in an enclosed pickup truck bed. All this was used in removing and installing large battery systems, power boards in a number of locations that had very difficult access.. steps, un-moveable equipment in the way, etc.
Biggest of all the jobs we did was remove 38,000lbs of wet, potentially spillable lead acid batteries (each weighing 600lbs) and replaced with new sealed AGM batteries.Hobby Welder for about 32 years

I work as a unit supervisor for a multinational fertilizer company. That means I get the blame when something goes wrong and none of the glory when it goes right. I weld for stress relief. I was taught by Dad, who welded pipelines, potable water delivery systems, and ANYTHING else made of metal.
