'"He's not good," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "He's got concussion symptoms. Wasn't feeling bad [Monday]. He took a hit from [T.J.] Oshie in St. Louis, kind of an elbow — and came off [Tuesday] and he was a mess. He couldn't focus. Emotionally, he was really unstable. He's in a tough place right now. We're worried. … To come off and be the way he was tells you that there's something wrong."'

Sabres Ehrhoff returns
'The defenseman said, "Yes, it's been awhile and obviously I'm happy to get back and hopefully we can get out of this hole and get a win." Lindy Ruff said, "It should be a boost for us in the back end."'

SgtMaj. About the garlic. I wonder why you leave them for two years? Maybe you know something that I don't know. I need to know.When I plant garlic, I plant the cloves in the fall, that be sometime in September, or early October. By the July of the following year I always have beautiful and big bulbs, comprised of about 6-8 cloves. I have never left them in for the two years, and now I really am wondering if they would be even nicer if I left them in for two years. So.....now you have sent me into experimental mode. I am going to tag and leave a fair number of the bulbs (that were cloves last year) and see what happens in the following year.I know that very often I don't get all the bulbs up and they resprout in the spring in places where I never even planted them.One year I let the garlic flowers mature and they produced hundreds upon thousands of little bulbils. I planted these tiny little bulbils in a particular spot in the garden. The following summer they produced a bigger bulb, I left them again for that year and then the bigger bulbils produced bulbs the following year. So that was a two year process and very time consuming, not going there again.I have garlic coming out of my ears everywhere. I think that the squirrels must dig them up too and replant them. How else could they get in the places where no human hand has ever been? That befuddles me, but oh that is a great thing. I have never bought garlic now in years and years.......we are garlic. Have that most beautiful and wonderful day, love this great life we are all livin' and sharin'. Cindi
I pulled up one of my garlic plants (the brownest, most wilted one) and it was just one clove. I suspect the rest are the same, since they were started in the fall from bulbils. Should I just let them die back, and expect them to sprout again next spring? Or are they just going to rot in the ground if I leave them there, wasting the whole years' effort?
SgtMgr. That darkness on the outer skin of the garlic is quite common. It is a form of mould. I see it sometimes on my garlic bulbs, I pay no mind, when the garlic is harvested and dried, the outer skin has that, but the inner skin on the bulb and the skin on the cloves is just fine. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Get some garlic bulbs, set some cloves in the ground in the fall. It is quite inexpensive for the gain that you will have next summer. It is worth it, honestly. Don't wait for spring for the bulbs to sprout, using the ones that are not very edible looking for table use. Just do that thing, hee, hee. Not trying to be bossy, just trying to convince you to get garlic bulbs sooner than two years. Beautiful day in this most wonderful life, Cindi

I knew it wasn't right, but I took it to the e way. When I hit about 60, it started going up to the high 240's and never came down. "white steam" does come from my exhaust. Sound like a head gasket? Anyone? Did I buy a lemon?

Left the truck at 430am at 5888' elevation
traveled 1.51 miles quartering uphill and turned up a drainage...turns out the wrong one but not before I climbed 1000' then realized my mistake....tried to fix it by climing another 1000' only to find myself stuck in some cliffs in the dark. You aint lived if you aint climber cliffs in the dark.
made it to an open saddle right at crack of daylight 1mile South of where I wanted to be and 3 miles from my truck. Stupid drainage I went up turned south away from my original destination.
Kept climbing and sweating and sweating and got to some good looking country. so I paralleled the main drainage for 3 miles to the South, calling and glassing.
I turned up side drainage heading up hill to the east to take me back to the top of the ridge between me and where I parked which is almost 3000 feet below me now.
Started seeing a bunch of blue grouse so shot 2 boned them out put them in a baggie and kept on trucking.
Hit the ridge top and headed North and finnished the last of my water! its 930am now. Time to get the heck outa there. GPS told me its gunna be a long dry walk.
I peaked out just under 9000' and dropped into a different drainage heading downhill to the east to try and get out faster....not sure that was the case.
Got to the truck at 1215 and pulled out a bottle of water and drained it in one gulp.. mmmmm good!
Had my keys in my hand and somehow hit the alarm button. Without looking I shut it off and threw the keys on the consul...not sure why, then shut the door and walked to the front door.........................................
...............to find it FRIGGIN LOCKED!!!
no problem I have a hideakey..... correction I used to have one...GONE!!!
SO! here I am in the middle of nowhere with a locked truck, phones in the truck along with everything else.
Spent 45min finding rocks,wire and a stick to pry the door and pop the lock. FUN STUFF!
Oh yea never saw anthing without feathers. Opening day was a rough one
Cant wait for tomorrow!!!!

PRICE DROP: 2500/Bo! Need this gone!!!
Will possibly consider welling it without the diamond racing wheels. Will come with 14" oem snowflakes with 195/65/14 falken azenis 615k with some life left
Also willing to drive up to 250 miles in any direction from Buffalo NY to meet with a buyer or drop if off at your front door.
Well the time has come, i believe its time to sell my scirocco :/. reason for sale is I bought a R32 last fall and i just plain don't drive this anymore. Plus my work schedule prevents me from ever hitting track days or auto-x events. So rather than just let it sit i would love for someone to buy it and use it like it was intended . I LOVE this car and it is a total blast to drive on any curvy roads. it has been driven once since August and aside from clearing the bad gas out of it, after that it drove no problem. I will be putting gas and heet in the tank this weekend to prevent that from happening again.
A little back story about this car. I bought it from Jodi Doyle(vwjodi) in April 2010. He had bought it from a friend who use to race it and unfortunately crashed it into a tree. Jodi rebuilt the car from the strut towers forward and it came out flawless. He also pulled and rebuilt the engine. the build can be seen here http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...3742832/page43 and it details all of his work. The car HAS A CLEAN TITLE!!!!
now onto the details
car has approx 135k miles on the chassis. speedo/odometer stopped working at ~127k miles. NEVER been driven in snow.
Car has been spray painted satin black. when i got it it had mis-matched fenders/hood because of the rebuild. i decided to say FUKC it and paint it black.
Front fenders have been cut to fit the wheels better.
Engine has about 12k since rebuild
New Rebuilt Head
New HD Valve Springs
Autotech 260 Cams
50MM Intake
K&N Drop in Filter with swiss cheesed air box
TT 2.25" Exhaust, straight piped
New Radiator, Upper Hose, Dual Jegs Electric Fans.
New Lower Temp Thermostat
New Green top CTS
Short Shift Kit
Synthetic Diff Fluid
Gauge Package over the Warning Buzzer system.
Snowflakes with Falken Azenis 615K tires with some life left

Power Steering delete
Newer Fuel Pump
Car will also come with TONS of extra parts, including a full set of extra door and side glass.
Could probably use an alignment
proper paint job? if you're not into the spray paint
up to date harness
speedo that works
occasionally bogs on cold starts right after starting. i always let it idle and rev it a few times to clear it out.
Tiny rust spot on the hatch. but CLEAN shell, no rust on the underside or anything. One fender has a tiny bit of rust inside, but i got it off a different car. i do have a spare fender that hasn't been painted which has NO rust.
I drove the car as a DD over the summer with NO problems. Only questionable thing is the Jegs racing fans do not pull a ton of air, so in traffic it starts to get a little hot. but has NEVER overheated. it has NEVER left me stranded
The car is located in Buffalo, NY. i will post up what pictures i have and will update in the next few days with more and better pictures. if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. PM me or email me at email@example.com. i check the vortex regularly so PM shouldn't be a problem.
looking for 4000/OBO. I'm not in a hurry to sell and don't really need to. Just looking for a good home for it and someone who will use it like it needs to be. also some of the money from sale will be going towards an engagement ring....
willing to trade for
R32 260/264 cams + cash
(pardon the tape, it was holding the flares on after i used some epoxy to re-attached them)
FWIW this is what it looked like when i bought it
Rolling shot from the way to H20i 2010. before the spray paint and Diamond racing wheels

Pogue Named Diver of the Week After Record Performance
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - For the 15th time in his Phoenix career, senior diver Daniel Pogue (Chisholm, Minn.) has been tabbed as the Horizon League Men's Diver of the Week for the period of Nov. 28-Dec. 4, the conference office announced on Monday. Pogue shattered the Green Bay school record in the 1-meter diving event Saturday at the Iowa Hawkeye Invitational to earn his third weekly award of the season.
After placing fourth in the 3-meter event on Friday with a score of 307.80, Pogue turned in the best performance of his storied career on the 1-meter board on Saturday, breaking his own school record with a gigantic score of 366.15. The score snapped his mark of 339.90 from a season ago and earned him a second-place finish in a strong field of divers.
"The whole field of eight divers was on fire in the final round Saturday evening," Phoenix diving coach Tom Stover said. "Danny's last dive was near perfect, with some of the Big Ten judges awarding him nines. He scored 67 points on that last dive alone, which vaulted him into second place in a very tough and veteran field of divers.
"I have seen Danny perform like this, but not on this big of a stage and under this kind of extreme pressure," Stover said. "He has put in the work necessary for this, so it was doubly satisfying for us to see him enjoy this outcome. It was absolutely a phenomenal performance."
Pogue and the Phoenix swimming and diving squads will return home to the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium this weekend when they host Horizon League opponent Valparaiso on Saturday at 2 p.m.

Do not get hung up on organizing your home; with hooks and hangers from west elm's selection of hardware, it is possible to create a comfortable, neat living space with a perfect place for everything. While hooks are a functional item, and in many cases coats and hats hide them from view, finding accessories that are in keeping with the tone of the house creates a uniformed and consistent style. For an industrial vibe that is well-suited to loft apartments and converted warehouses, distressed hooks crafted from old pipes are a fun option; while a chrome hook rail with a clean, efficient design is ideal for a modern home or minimalist living space.
Coat hooks and stands are some of the easiest ways to bring organization to an entryway, and when you combine the hooks with a mirror and umbrella stand, you create a welcoming room where guests have the opportunity to shed their outside clothes, and check their makeup and hair. However, hooks have many other uses throughout the home. A row of white hooks, or a garment rack, makes laundry less of a chore, as you have a convenient way to sort and hang your clothing and linen; and some heavy-duty hangers in the garage or workshop keep power tools out of the reach of young children. However you introduce organizational aids into your home, with the right choice of hooks, hangers, stands and boxes, you create a neat and efficient space where there is a place for everything, and everything is in its place.

To celebrate the upcoming release of the Android version of the MV Field Guide app, we're adding a suite of new species; species that have been specifically requested by the users of the existing iOS app.
However, we were missing images of a few species, including Victoria's bird emblem the Helmeted Honeyeater. With no images, these species were going to be left out of the app.
So we asked our MV Blog readers for help – and the response was overwhelming!

Thank you to everyone who sent in images for our MV Field Guide photography competition. We wanted to include them all, but we had to be mindful of download size (with over 700 species in the app, that's a lot of pictures).
The winning photographers were:
Thanks to these people, the upcoming Android version of the MV Field Guide (and the iOS upgrade) will include the Helmeted Honeyeater, the Diamond Firetail and the Little Eagle (along with 25 other new species).

text: What I'm doing is giving voice to an alternate POV that is often overlooked because yes, society is heavily geared towards parenthood and parent culture and those of us who aren't following the mainstream culture ARE often dismissed as non-essential personnel. Look at how mommy-centric those two speeches were by Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Romney. OK, they were speaking to the majority of America, the majority of America who is in the family way, but there are plenty of us who don't subscribe to the majority lifestyle and hey, we vote too. So what you may perceive as me being dismissive of mothers is actually me simply putting forth a POV that's just a squeaky bit different than the majority POV. People can have kids all day long, I really don't care what they do if that's what they choose to do (as long as they don't hold me responsible in any way for their choice), but when someone like Mrs. Romney comes along and stands up there on that bully pulpit podium and tells me that I don't know what true worrying is because I'm not a MOTHER, and how only MOTHERS know what it really means to worry then yeah, I get annoyed. That's rather arrogant thinking if you ask me and I wonder, how many mothers listened to that and shook their head in agreement. Sure, you can say it's just the words of one politician's wife and who cares what she says except....it ain't. Maybe people on this thread don't feel that way which wouldn't surprise me because it's FSU and we're a sort of rarefied universe and if that's the case then they have no reason to get defensive, but believe me that attitude is out there. If you can't relate, you can't relate. I read an article after Nora Ephron died in which the writer said that Nora would have been a better writer if only she were a mother. Written, of course, by a mother. So only MOTHERS have the ability to write touching prose??? Lady, give me an effing break!!! If you want to see the piece I'll hunt it down. Now, am I speaking from personal experience? Of course! Maybe some people don't like that approach to my thinking and they only consider POVs that are sprung from hard data and statistics and that's fine with me, go ahead roll your eyes and tell me I'm full of crap and I don't know what I'm talking about. If I had a buck for everytime told me I'm full of crap and I don't know what I'm talking about then I'd be able to throw a party and invite everyone in this thread. I'm interested in the human condition, not pie charts so if you're a pie chart kind of person then I'm probably not the POV for you. However, I hear from a lot of people about how they're happy to hear that they're not the only one who sees things the same way so seems to me like maybe there are some people who can relate to what I'm saying and I'm not completely talking out of my ass here. Not this time, anyway.

I built a box [with no bottom] out of 1 1/2" foil face insulation. This box is 1 1/2" larger on the sides and top then the outside of the hive. I drilled three 3/4" vent holes in the front side and pluged them with wine corks. The middle cork has a 3/8" hole drilled in it for ventilation.John
Is BlueBee seeing this right? Finski is nursing his bees with electric HEAT ?????Thomas, what do you make of this :-D
.I retired from my job 2,5 months ago. Now i have time to look them for curiosity.I have known electrict heating 45 years. 7 years ago I tried myself. I am just interested to see what have happened since September..i think that varroa has made harms to wintering hives and some colonies are very small even if they were normal in Autumn. After these years it is difficult to find any intresting from those bees.2 months ago early winter surprised us and i had trickled only half of my hives. Just now i tirickle the rest.
Ron, your hypothesis makes sense to me. My foam hives are probably all like that too, I'm not alarmed, my bees look fine and the innards look dry. Have you looked at the bees? Do they look fine? Plenty of stores? Not too many dead bees? Little to no black mold? Is the hive innards relatively dry? Unfortunately I can't report to you my humidity because I'm not measuring it.

Santi Cazorla is ready for his first taste of festive football with Arsenal - after years of winter breaks in Spain.
The in-form playmaker is accustomed to a rest around this time of the year with La Liga one of many European leagues that are put on hold over Christmas and the New Year.
Cazorla's workload has been eased somewhat by the postponement of Arsenal's Boxing Day fixture with West Ham. All the same, three Premier League games in 12 days makes this a vital juncture for his club and Cazorla is ready for the challenge.
"I do think it [a winter break] is beneficial because you are able to disconnect mentally, psychologically," he told Arsenal Player.
"There are times when you become saturated with games, you are unclear about things, and the break that happens in Spain makes you more relaxed mentally.
"But I think that the Premier League overall is already tough with regards to the number of matches that you have to play in a row, so I do not think the month of December is very different from the rest of the months."
Cazorla and his team-mates will be able to spend some time with their families over the Christmas period and the Spaniard is looking forward to the festivities.
"I will celebrate with my family, we don't do huge parties," he said.
"I think Spaniards are very family oriented, we like to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home with the family, having dinner, and spend the night with your family talking and enjoy being in their company.

Relations with Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is actively developing relations with NATO and has identified a broad range of areas for dialogue and practical cooperation through its Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme (IPCP). This IPCP forms the basis of its cooperation with NATO and includes, for instance, the development of armed forces and countering modern security threats.
Left to right: President Islam Karimov shaking hands with then NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
Defence-related fields of cooperation are being carried out primarily through the Planning and Review Process (PARP), which Uzbekistan joined in 2002. Other areas of practical cooperation include education, training of personnel, civil emergency planning and science.
Uzbekistan first engaged in relations with NATO in 1992, when it joined the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (later replaced by the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997). It has since joined a series of other programmes to reinforce its foreign policy strategy of promoting peace and stability in Central Asia as one of its key priorities is to prevent wars and armed conflicts.
Key areas of cooperation
Security cooperation
From 2002 onwards, Uzbekistan played an important role in supporting Allied operations in Afghanistan. Uzbekistan permitted Germany the use of its airfield at Termez. It also allowed over-flight and transit permission for Allied forces and supplies. Uzbekistan continues to be a main transit route for humanitarian supplies to Afghanistan, the majority of which is delivered via the Hairaton Bridge. Specialists from Uzbekistan also assisted in implementing tangible infrastructure projects in Afghanistan, including the reconstruction of ten bridges connecting the northern part of the country with Kabul.
In 2009, Uzbekistan, along with Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus, completed an agreement with NATO allowing the transportation of non-lethal ISAF cargo to Afghanistan by rail.
Defence and security sector reform
NATO supports the democratic and institutional reform processes in Uzbekistan. Specifically in the area of defence and security sector reform, NATO and individual Allies have considerable expertise that Uzbekistan can draw upon.
Uzbekistan's participation in the PARP since 2002 aims to attain interoperability between elements of its armed forces and those of NATO Allies. While there was a pause in PARP cooperation following the events in Andijan in 2005, Uzbekistan reaffirmed its participation in the programme in 2010.
Along with several other countries in Central Asia, Uzbekistan has received counter-terrorism training through NATO-funded courses. In May 2010, officials from Uzbekistan attended an Advanced Training Course, funded through NATO's Science for Peace and Security Programme, to learn the latest counter-terrorism methods and strategies. Uzbekistan has also benefited from counter-narcotics training, which has resulted in improved capabilities to interdict narcotics trafficking.
Uzbekistan continues to participate in seminars and workshops on defence policy and strategy within the PfP framework, as well as military education of Uzbek officers, with an emphasis on English language training. Since 2013, Uzbekistan has engaged in a Defence Education and Enhancement Programme (DEEP) with NATO. This programme provides expertise on how to build, develop and reform educational institutions in the security, defence and military domain. Over the next three years, NATO-led multinational teams of academics will provide assistance in developing four courses in the fields of NATO familiarisation, NATO staff planning procedures, counter-terrorism, and civil emergency planning. Work has also begun on the establishment of a Partnership for Peace Training Centre in Uzbekistan.
Civil emergency planning
Civil emergency planning and disaster-relief coordination are significant areas of cooperation. Uzbekistan hosted the first EAPC exercise held in Central Asia in April 2003. Exercise Ferghana 2003 simulated an international response to a major earthquake in the region.
NATO and Uzbekistan are continuing cooperation in this area today. Uzbekistan is developing its civil response capacity for natural and man-made emergency situations in consultation with the Allies. This includes updating planning procedures and organisation methods for rescue operations.
Science and environment
Under the Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, Uzbekistan has received grant awards for over 50 projects for scientific and environmental collaboration, while scientists and experts from Uzbekistan have had leading roles in 164 activities, including in various cooperative activities as participants and key speakers.
Uzbekistan has participated in a number of scientific projects with NATO Allies, including the Virtual Silk Highway project, which aims to improve internet access for academic and research communities in countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia through a satellite-based network.
In May 2013, a workshop held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan addressed the prevention of potential crises and conflicts through disaster forecasting, modeling, and sustainable development. Also ongoing is a multi-year research project to assess and monitor trans-boundary water pollution – an area of crucial importance to the social and economic well-being of populations in the region. The project includes experts from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Public Information
In every partner country an embassy of one of the NATO member states serves as a contact point and operates as a channel for disseminating information about the role and policies of the Alliance. The current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Uzbekistan is the embassy of Italy.
Cooperation in the area of public diplomacy with Uzbekistan aims to raise awareness of the Alliance and the benefits of partnership with NATO as well as engaging with key opinion formers and civil society. In 2014, NATO opened a Depository Library in Uzbekistan's University of World Economy and Diplomacy in Tashkent. Academics, government officials and opinion formers from Uzbekistan are also regularly invited to visit NATO Headquarters for briefings about the Alliance.
Framework for cooperation
Dialogue takes place within the framework of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). The NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, James Appathurai, conducts high-level political dialogue with Uzbek authorities through regular visits to the country. The NATO Liaison Officer in Central Asia is based in Tashkent and is responsible for regularly engaging with the government on cooperation.
Under the PfP programme, NATO and Uzbekistan are developing practical cooperation in a number of areas through the country's IPCP, PARP and the DEEP.
Evolution of relations
NATO-Uzbekistan relations began in 1992, when Uzbekistan joined the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (later replaced by the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997). Relations further developed in 1994, when Uzbekistan signed up to the PfP programme, and in 2002, when the country acceded to the PARP.
The process of supporting Uzbekistan's domestic reforms intensified, and the country's role in PfP activities continued to increase. While Uzbekistan-NATO relations declined to some extent following the events in Andijan in 2005, currently NATO and Uzbekistan engage in regular dialogue through the EAPC and are actively redeveloping cooperation in a number of specific fields.

I joined the MC Biology faculty in 1976 and serve as a "field biologist" for the department by teaching Ecology, Entomology and Systematic Zoology in addition to Freshman Biology and Aquatic Entomology in the graduate program. My research involves systematics of stoneflies (Order Plecoptera) which we approach with scanning electron microscopy of eggs and reproductive structures. Current projects include collaborative studies of Neotropical, Oriental and Nearctic stoneflies with various colleagues and Mississippi College students. Many of our publications include descriptions of previously unrecognized species; as of August 2014, my colleagues and I have proposed more than 415 species and 10 generic names. A few of these names honor a celebrity for their contributions to our society, thus Diamphipnoa colberti (Steven Colbert), Anacroneuria taylori (James Taylor) and Anacroneuria carole (Carole King) have joined the list of valid stonefly species. I serve on the Board of Trustees for the Clinton Community Nature Center (See link) and am co-editor for the journal, Illiesia (See link). A "stonefly of the month" calendar can be downloaded from the "Documents" section below.
I was born in California but grew up in Oklahoma (a reverse Okie) in rural Latimer Co. near the small town of Red Oak. My undergraduate degree is from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and I have a Master's in Biology from the University of North Texas and PhD in Biology from the University of Utah. My wife, Lida and I have two married daughters, Rene' Roberts (husband Joey) and Edith Kennedy (husband Chris), and two grandsons, Will Roberts and Jay Ethan Kennedy.

- About Plattsburgh
SUNY Plattsburgh is a residential campus, located in a small city. SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury is a branch campus, offering selected undergraduate and graduate programs. Both campuses are walkable, safe, and scenic.
Applications should have a solid, college-preparatory background in high school and an academic average of "B" or better. We recommend a combined SAT score of 1080 or higher on the new SAT (or 1000 or higher on the old SAT)*, or an ACT composite of 21 or higher. Supplemental factors include class rank, an essay, letters of support, leadership and community service activities, and special talent. For more information, please visit our Freshman Admissions homepage. (*Note - scores will not be super scored across the new SAT and old SAT exams.)
Minimum grade point average requirements vary according to program, usually between 2.3 and 2.75. The middle 50% range for entering transfers is 2.6-3.3. Students with fewer than twenty-four credits at the time of application must also meet freshman admission requirements.
Students looking to pursue Communication Disorders and Sciences, Social Work, or Nursing (RN-to-BS Option) must have a minimum 2.5 or higher cumulative GPA to transfer. Likewise, students looking to pursuing either Adolescence Education or Childhood Education will need a minimum 3.00 or higher cumulative GPA.
For more information about transferring to SUNY Plattsburgh, please visit our Transfer Admissions homepage.
Our graduate degree programs offer you opportunities for professional enhancement, professional certification, and personal academic enrichment. Prospective students applying for matriculation into a Master's Degree or Certificate of Advanced Study Program should visit Graduate Admissions for more information.
SUNY Plattsburgh offers more than 60 degree programs within three academic schools:
Our expansive internship programs provides students with practical experiences and important job connections. Students can further enhance their studies by choosing from an extensive network of study abroad and national student exchange programs.
Companies such as IBM and the Washington Internship Institute actively recruit our students for both internships and jobs. These experiences often lead to successful career opportunities and quick advancement for our alumni, who have ended up landing positions such as the Vice President of Morgan Stanley in New York City.
Our geographic location is another highly prized asset that is a benefit to students. The Green Mountains of Vermont and New York's Adirondacks rise majestically above the Lake Champlain Valley, a U.N.-designated biosphere and focus of environmental study.
Plattsburgh is an hour's drive from Montreal, Lake Placid, and Burlington. The region provides students with rich recreational and cultural experiences. A range of movie theaters, restaurants and shopping malls are nearby.
Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths are served by local churches and a synagogue, and by campus religious organizations.
Mass transit provides transportation access from all parts of the northeastern United States.
About 89.5 percent of SUNY Plattsburgh students are New York State residents. However, no resident quotas are used in admission. In fact, we take pride in the diversity of our campus, and actively recruit students from approximately 23 states and over 60 countries. Special grants are available to these students.
Approximately 1000 freshmen, 900 transfers, and 100 graduate students enroll each year.
Campus activities abound in the residential, seven-day-a-week atmosphere. More than 100+ student organizations span cultural, social, academic, and recreational interests. In addition to intercollegiate athletics, intramural and club sports are popular.
All residence halls are equipped with wireless Internet connections. Each dorm room is equipped with two high-speed wired computer connections to the College's network and the Internet. Wireless zones and online computer stations are available throughout the campus.
Many special programs and support services exist for students:
Staying in Plattsburgh is easy. Due to active tourism in the region, there are several major hotel chains within a short distance to the campus of the campus and a variety of different ways to get you here.

A little about myself:
I have 5+ years of teaching with other people (tutoring) and small (about 3-5 people) classrooms.
I am in my junior year in college, so I have 2 more years before I get my bachelor's degree
I am majoring in Computer Engineering, completely unrelated to education
I am trying to find a job in teaching English in China or Taiwan.
I am 20 years old, I am Chinese American, born and raised in America.
So my question is, with these credentials, how do I stand against others and will I be able to find a job easily in China or Taiwan? I understand that some companies look for a certain name brand or TEFL certificates...what certificate is most widely recognized and which one should I get? I'm not sure if it helped but I wrote a personal letter as seen below:
[/i][i]Hello there, I am Chinese but American born and raised. I have recently gone to China on vacation and didn't realize how much culture I was missing out on in China. Being Chinese, I thought I knew a lot about China's rich culture but in actuality, I was only touching the surface. I stayed mostly in GuangZhou because that's where my grandparents lived but visited Shanghai, Chengdu, Sichuan and a few other places. I had an am amazing time. The only problem in my visit was that one month felt too short and I couldn't really speak any Chinese.
My background in America for speaking Chinese has not been that strong since my parents do not speak that much Chinese at home. I never really questioned why they always pushed me to speak English and not Chinese. I reasoned that they wanted me to speak English since that is the native language here. But as I grew older, I grew aware of a strong urge to connect with my Chinese heritage and became more frustrated with my parents for not teaching me Chinese in the first place. However, as time went by, I realized that it must have been hard for my parents being the first generations to come to America. They spoke no English here and simply came to America because they wanted a better life for me and my sister. Because my parents went through the hardships of not understanding English, they did not want me to feel the same way and be isolated from others.
Right now I am a college student, so a summer job in 2012 fits perfectly for me. I have tutored many people before in America for 5+ years with ages ranging from 5 year olds to a 46 year old and have also talked to Chinese people who have moved here recently and helped them improve their English. I know it must not be easy for Chinese to understand English. I feel the same way about speaking Chinese, but I know that patience and talking face to face is the best way to learn a language. I have begun practicing my Chinese everyday and told my parents to speak more and more Chinese to me every day. I hope by the end of this year my Chinese will be sufficient enough to hold a good conversation with other people.
I am very interested in teaching Chinese people English as well as any computer engineering internships and although I am not majoring in education in College (I am majoring in computer engineering so I know a good deal about computers)...I feel that this is not too much of an issue as I have good conversation skills in English. I have 1 year left of College until I get my bachelor's degree so I have already completed the majority of my years in College. I am 6 feet and 1 inch, which is approximately 185 cm and 160 pounds (72.7 kg). I am a people person. I love talking to other people and making new friends. During my trip to China, I realized that I loved city life because I could step outside and be in the middle of a busy street. In America, I live in the suburbs, so living in China for a while is definitely an interest to me.

At Mobile World Congress, the Nokia Lumia 610 was shown-off as the new entry-level Windows Phone 7 option from Nokia. However, the phone-maker has now admitted that it needs to produce an even cheaper phone to challenge Android.
Over the past few years Nokia has given us plenty of reason to doubt many of its decisions. A string of bad ones led to the company falling from the top of the smartphone game to the lowly position of "has-been". But it's talking sense this time. In a meeting with Pocket-lint, Nokia executive VP Niklas Savander admitted that Nokia needs to do more in order to make its Windows Phone 7 devices compete with budget Android phones.
"We are competing with Android. Android is in many markets at the 100 Euro price already, so that would suggest that if we are at 189 Euro with the Lumia 610 we still have work to do when it comes to creating a lower end first time user smartphone," said Savander. "We have a lot riding on the fact that we need to get a lower price point," he added.
In what amounts to speaking out against his company's newest product, Savander's words seem pretty bold. Adding to the problem, the Nokia Lumia 610 had to make several technical sacrifices in order to get down to the not-all-that-lowly price of 189 Euro. It has just 256MB of RAM and an 800MHz processor, where first-wave Windows Phone 7 phones used double the RAM and 1GHz processors. Savander claims you have to push the phone hard to see these limitations take a toll on the phone, though.
Nokia VP Niklas Savander (image credit: Nokia Conversations)
Aside from these aspirational comments, Savander didn't delve into exactly how a 100 Euro Windows Phone 7 handset might work. 2GB internal memory, a 600MHz processor and 256MB of RAM doesn't sound like a recipe for fun, especially not in device with non-expandable storage. However, would a decent sub-£100 Windows phone make you think twice about buying Android? Let us know in the comments.

So why is it that we see all the commanders except for Bacara. Will he be coming up in the last few episodes or is there no hope to see him.
So why is it that we see all the commanders except for Bacara. Will he be coming up in the last few episodes or is there no hope to see him.
Don't forget that there are more seasons to come. Plenty of time to see different characters in action. He may be in season 2 or 3 or what ever, you'll just have to wait.
yeah, they have already been showing some new clone stuff for season 2. the production folks brought an eFX helmet painted up in wolfe's new design to a con recently.
so there's plenty of time for bacara!
He's coming......
Thank you, I can now rest easy
They still have several commanders to introduce. Who knows they may even sneak in Voltair on us
Yes, I'm very interested to see how they are going to do Bacara's helmet!
There are many Clone Commanders who we have yet to see. Aside from Commander Bacara there is:
-Commander Neyo
-Commander Appo
-Commander Deviss
-Commander Keller
So don't worry about it we will see those guys soon along with Bacara
Phase I Clone Commanders are swell but I, for one, have the URGE to see a certain CIS Commander returned to the Clone Wars era battlefield.
i REALLY hope we see durge... i'd love to see him realized in the 3d model style of the show.
That would be nice! Though I'd much rather see Republic Commandos.
It'd be cool to also see some ARCs re-done as well in CG and I would also love to see some RCs.
There's a petition going to try and get the RC's in the series. The link is in my signature. Not sure if it will make a difference but I think it's worth a shot!
Signed the petition, should start one for ARCs as well
I would love to see the ARCs and the RCs in there as well. As for Commander Keller's appearance, I don't think he has appeared yet. If you're thinking of the one episode on Pantora, the only clone named at all was Rex. Commander Keller's Wookieepedia entry only has him listed as appearing in Star Wars Republic: Into The Unkown.

Could somebody please tell me which words in the following sentence would be stressed if they were spoken.
If you work, do you think you'll get promotion/a pay rise in the next year? OR If you're a student or unemployed do you think you'll find a job soon/when you start looking?
I look forward to hearing from you.

My concerns are that I have a bit of a Yorkshire accent, particularly the vowel sounds in take and go...i suppose with practice I could get used to using the dipthongs (they're monothong sounds in Yorkshire). Probably I'm more concerned about my difficulty with the th sound...I don't know if it was just laziness as a child- or a regional or social accent feature, but I grew up 'th-fronting': replacing the th sound with f. As an adult I've been trying to shake this habit, and can now use the sound in most contexts, but some still cause me difficulty, especially in words ending in the th sound in plural, for example maths and lengths.
I just wondered if anyone out there had similar issues, as a native speaker with a less prestigious accent?!

Wojciech Szczesny believes Arsenal's third-place finish defied most people's expectations after their disappointing start to the season.
Arsène Wenger's side will be playing Champions League football next season after tying up automatic qualification with a 3-2 win at West Brom on Sunday.
Arsenal lost four of their first seven matches in the Premier League and Szczesny says those circumstances ultimately make this campaign a success.
"It is massive," he told Arsenal Player. "I said before that I don't think people believed we could finish third. Although I wouldn't have taken it before the season, given the circumstance and the start of the season I think we will take it and we are very pleased.
"You want to win trophies. Yes we are happy we managed to finish third but when you play for this club you want to win trophies and we didn't do it this year so it is disappointing.
"But we already have one signing coming in and hopefully with one or a couple more we can challenge for a trophy next season."
Kieran Gibbs' saving challenge in injury time secured Arsenal the three points they needed to qualify and Szczesny was delighted by the substitute's key intervention.
"I had it covered to be honest!" joked the goalkeeper. "It was an amazing challenge, one of the moments that wins you games.
"He did very well when he came on and obviously we tried to be more defensive in the second half once we scored that third goal. For the last 20 minutes we defended really well but I think that one challenge finished the game. You have to give big credit to Kieran for that."

« more RISD stories
Through long-term partnerships with MIT's Sloan School of Management and Babson College, RISD students investigating product development have an opportunity to work closely with their business school counterparts– students majoring in marketing, manufacturing, engineering design, management and other disciplines. Product Design and Development emphasizes intelligent solutions to specific product challenges from corporate partners, pairing aspiring designers with business and engineering students for a holistic development process. The team approach has resulted in a wide variety of finished products, many of which have been patented and brought to market."Effective development of products is an interdisciplinary process," says Matt Kressy BFA 88 ID, a critic in RISD's Industrial Design Department who has taught the course for several years. The complexities involved in conceiving, building and marketing new products aren't solved within a single professional field; the process demands expertise in such varied areas as product planning, customer needs analysis, concept development and testing, financial analysis, design for manufacturing, intellectual property and project management. Drawing on a groundbreaking curriculum by MIT professors Steven Eppinger and Karl Ulrich, the team process followed in the course allows students to bring their complementary capabilities to the challenges and encourages new perspectives.The products that have emerged from Product Design and Development collaborations over the years span many markets. Recent projects include a wireless information device for travelers, developed in partnership with Nokia; a real-time video entertainment system for cars sponsored by General Motors; a low-cost incubator for the Cambridge, MA nonprofit Design that Matters; and direct-to-consumer products in the athletic wear, entertaining and travel markets.

BWW Reviews: ALEXANDER NEVSKY with Music by Prokofiev Performed by BSO
What a night it was for cinephiles and classical music lovers. It was a sandwich comprised of what is considered one of the best 100 films of all time, ALEXANDER NEVSKY along with a powerful score by noted classical composer Sergei Prokofiev.
I really didn't know what to expect watching a film on a screen above BSO Music Director Marin Alsop. In front of her music were two computers in which she could get the music clues for the brilliant score by one of the most famous Russian composers. Signs in the lobby made it clear that there would be NO intermission so therefore the BSO would be playing almost continuously for almost two hours. I wondered how Alsop would react. And when it was over, I've never seen her look more exhausted. Just imagine conducting for such a long period without a break.
But what a job she did conducting the terrific BSO and the Baltimore Choral Arts Society. What a trio - a film, music, and a chorus.
This was the second time the BSO presented the film with the score. It was done about 10 years ago with then BSO Music Director Youri Temirkanov who has recorded the music with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic and Chorus.
The 1938 film was directed by Sergei Eisenstein and is considered a landmark of Russian cinema. Prokofiev had just returned from a trip to Hollywood where he had been investigating new sound techniques and had fallen in love with Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
So when he was asked by Director Eisenstein to write the music, he was elated. They worked on the film for a six month period in 1938 sometimes Prokofiev writing the music first and sometimes writing music for what was on the screen. It was a happy and successful collaberation.
Both the composer and director were well aware of the importance of being successful with Joseph Stalin looming large. They were both in danger of serious repercussions unless they delivered what Stalin wanted, a heroic tale about an heroic figure from the 13th century, Alexander Nevsky.

During the past eight years, the Bush State Department has issued an annual report on the state of human rights in the world. After reading the latest report, the government of Chile issued a response which noted, "there is no Guantanamo in Chile" and argued the United States was the last country on this planet to issue reports pointing the finger at violations of human rights while ignoring its own. Francisco Victal, a spokesperson for the government, said his own nation's experiences with dictatorship had made it sensitive to questions of human rights and argued, "when a human being is tortured in any place in the world, the dignity of the rest of the six billion beings is also violated."
The administration of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld has brazenly boasted of torture that is acceptable and ignored the violations of human rights in their own country. A society which values social justice does not allow 50 million people to go without health insurance, a society which values human rights ensures those who lose jobs receive decent pay. Hopefully, the Obama government will truly be for human rights.
