Today's guest is author and editor, Jeff Sparrow. Jeff is the editor of the Overland literary journal, and his latest book is Killing: Misadventures in Violence. He is now working on his fifth book.
I am a very slow writer. For me, writing has never been about flights of inspiration or bursts of creativity. Instead, it's a matter of slowly and painfully moving words around in sentences, and then sentences around in paragraphs and ultimately paragraphs in books: difficult, painstaking and mostly unpleasant.
Writing is, in other words, work. That's why when I think about the process, it's usually in terms of pretty crass metaphors of labour.
For instance, a book has always seemed like a huge slab of granite by the side of the road; a piece of dumb, ugly stone that you need to transfer from one place to another. It's so big, so solid, that, for a while, it seems like you can't move it in the slightest. It's the first thing you see when you wake up; when the evening comes, you can still see sitting there in the twilight, and you know it will be waiting for you in the morning.
Eventually, you discover that, if you try really hard, you can push the thing a little. But, of course, as soon as you let go, it settles back into place and it's much more difficult to get it shifted again.
Constant progress is, in other words, the only remedy for inertia. The actual distance you push doesn't much matter: I've never found page quotas terribly useful. The main thing is momentum. You must keep working, for the tiniest advance each day eventually adds up, until one day you realise you are grappling with a full-length manuscript rather than a few scattered paragraphs – and at that point everything suddenly seems much easier. That's one way I think about the routine of writing.
The other metaphor is related but slightly different. Writing is like exercise. Now, no-one – no-one I know, anyway – actually likes jogging, at least not in the sense that they wake up on a cold drizzly morning and think, hurrah, I'll soon be shuffling around a football field. But if you do it often enough, if you build it into your daily routine, it becomes something that you miss when, for some reason or another, running is no longer possible. Without exercise, you become twitchy, irritable, strangely dissatisfied.
If you write every day, the same thing happens. It's not that writing becomes any more enjoyable. You don't look at the blank screen enthusing about the prospect of filling it up. The empty page remains just as hateful as ever, possibly more so, but in some way, not confronting it becomes less possible.
Writing requires time, something that becomes more and more problematic as you get older. Like most people, I first started writing seriously when I was either studying or working part-time. I needed days – or, at least, half-days – in order to get anything done. That was partly because any writing session had to allow for my tendency to procrastinate: if I devoted an entire morning to work, I might spend half of it staring emptily at the screen but still actually get something done.
Working full-time, that's much more difficult. I'm at Overland nine-to-five most days, and then there's generally some kind of meeting or event in the evening. That's not intended as a personal complaint, particularly, for such is the reality of most people's working lives these days: in this wondrous twenty-first century, the eight hour day achieved by Melbourne stonemasons in 1856, seems like the most fantastical utopia.
Practically, though, it does mean is that the only time I can do my own writing is early in the morning.
So coffee is my friend. At one point, when I first started setting the alarm to give me a few hours writing time before work, I probably genuinely needed the caffeine to kick me into some semblance of consciousness. These days, I wake up naturally (in fact, I physically can't sleep in anymore) and the coffee is more a psychological crutch. The routine of making a pot helps, I think.
Besides, I like the jittery nervousness that caffeine brings: it's the appropriate physiological state in which to confront, each day, a world teetering on the verge of catastrophe.

I co-founded & co-organize the community-minded Trees & Hills Comics Group of VT, NH, & west MA and the positive adult-oriented Offshore Comix, and have co-edited all the anthologies for both to date. I publish my own humor, nonfiction, & other comics in my zine Square Dance and a series of little freebies called Zero (which I reformat & reprint in Square Dance).

I just printed up Zero #6 (a 1/4-size 8-pager, the free version of a strip in Square Dance #5). The first print I did, one of the pages was pixelated, so I replaced it & reprinted. Then I noticed other pages had some digital-looking issues (I do my layout on the computer), realized they were all images I'd rotated so the zine would fold right, and fixed those (by using an actual command that rotates it a specific amount instead of eyeballing it by hand). I printed & assembled the whole batch (just 30), then realized I'd accidentally replaced one of the pages with a copy of another. I'd done a test print but was only checking image quality because I'd "already" checked the layout. ARGH!
Well, at least I noticed it before giving them out.

I draw this strip, or these strips called Headville (so far Winter & Spring (don't click Spring if you're in the Mini-Zine Swap!)), and last night on a whim I Googled "Headville". I guess I thought the only results would be mine, but it turns out there are other things with that name.
As far as I can tell it doesn't exist anymore, but apparently there was a place called Headville in Vermont, as evidenced by the postmark on this postcard.

Box score
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. - Ariana Parker scored a game-high five goals as No. 19 UAlbany came from behind in the second half to grab a 12-10 victory over Marist Saturday afternoon in non-conference women's lacrosse action.
Along with Parker's five goals, four of which came in the first half, Nichole Eamer and Amanda Pollock each tallied two for the Great Danes. Rachael Burek was credited with the game winning goal, which came in the middle of a six-goal run over ten minutes in the second half. Jess Antelmi and Allie Phelan rounded out the scoring effort for UAlbany. Eamer and Jenn Primeau contributed assists on two goals along with Parker and Kathleen Lennon helping on one each.
The teams went goal-for-goal in the first half, before the Great Danes took offensive control in the second half, scoring six consecutive goals for a 12-8 lead with just under 13 minutes remaining. The Red Foxes attempted a comeback, but fell short, scoring the final two goals of the match.
UAlbany (2-1) unleashed a 10-minute six-goal run beginning at the 22:05 mark in the second stanza. Phelan took advantage of a free position attempt for her third goal on the season to start the offensive run for the Great Danes. Eamer contributed two goals in the span along with Parker's 11th on the season. Pollock
Marist (0-4) scored the final goal of the first half to tie the game at 6-6. Emily Leonard tallied three goals in the first half for the Red Foxes, while Ashley Miller tallied four total, including three in the second half in attempt to make a comeback.
In goal, Anna Berman made two saves in 60 minutes to grab the win for UAlbany. Red Foxes' Ashley Casiano made 12 saves between the pipes in the losing effort.
UAlbany held a 16-8 draw control advantage along with a 23-17 ground ball and 37-14 shot leads. The Great Danes racked up ten caused turnovers and converted on 2 of 9 free position shots.
The Great Danes will play two games next week, starting at crosstown foe Siena on Wednesday, March 7 for a 3:00 p.m. draw.

Black walnut wood is the only dark North American wood. It's prized by woodworkers for it's strength, grain and color which is a rich chocolate brown-- with occasional purple tones. There are over 20 species of walnut trees but it is the Eastern Black Walnut tree (aka: American Walnut) that is native to North America and is used for our walnut furniture. Vermont is home to only a limited number of walnut trees. Our soil is too acidic and our climate too cold, so much of our black walnut wood we use comes from Ohio, Indiana and other mid-North American states where it grows well and is sustainably harvested. We ensure our wood comes from well managed forests in North America. When you buy Vermont Woods Studios furniture you are making a responsible decision to maintain a healthier planet. Black walnut dining, living room and home office furniture also available.

Joseph Carr has recently worked with Tom Larson to produce his second label, named "Josh Cellars."
"After we're done producing our portfolio of Joseph Carr wines, we like to sit around "the garage" we call a wine cellar, and tinker with a few things. Growers we call friends come by and lend a hand. We laugh, tell stories and produce a winemaker's wine that we make just for ourselves; handcrafted wines that we jokingly refer to as a "vin de garage." These wines are named after my father, as they are expressive, but unassuming and approachable – just like him." View all Josh Cellars Wines
About North Coast
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

The Prague based humanitarian organization -Clovek v tisni-People In Need, reclaimed the right to operate on Russian soil following a controversial two year ban. The NGO was prohibited from working in Russia two years ago when the Russian government charged it with aiding terrorism. Prior to the ban, People in Need worked on charitable projects including education and funding for small business operations in area close to where fighting was going on in Chechnya. They assisted many children who had been traumatized by the fighting and played an important role in helping people to return to their normal life style after many years coping with fighting and violence. The Russian government has been particularly upset at NGOs because they can not be controlled and function, in a sense, out of the scope of the increasingly authoritarian style of President Putin. An NGO must register and spend considerable time filling out paper work and abiding with provisions of Russian law. Vojtech Raiek of the group is uncertain what led to the reversal of the ban.
The Putin government undoubtedly has a goal of gaining complete control over all aspects of Russian life that might allow outside voices to raise questions about Putin and what he is creating in Russia. It certainly remains unclear why this NGO is now being permitted to operate.

By Giuseppe Muro
Wojciech Szczesny is happy with what he has seen defensively from Arsenal during pre-season.
The Polish goalkeeper watched on as second-half goals from Pablo Aimar and Nolito saw Benfica come from behind to win the Eusebio Cup on Saturday night. It was the third time in a week that Arsenal had let a lead slip after Boca Juniors and New York Red Bull rescued draws at the Emirates Cup.
But Szczesny, who is expected to start between the posts when the Premier League season kicks off on Saturday, has only conceded twice during the summer and he is confident Arsenal's back four are ready for the new campaign.
"I'm quite happy with the defensive side," he told Arsenal.com. "We didn't concede in the first half [against Benfica] and I'm fairly happy with how we have done in pre-season.
"I wouldn't pay too much attention to the results. The most important thing is fitness and showing the manager that you should be starting on August 13."
Saturday's trip to Newcastle will see Arsenal return to St. James' Park for the first time since last season's 4-4 draw and Szczesny admits there is an extra motivation to kick off in style after what happened in the North-East.
"There is a determination to win the game because I believe we lost the title at Newcastle last season," he said.
"We want to turn up at Newcastle and show that it was a one-off accident and it will not happen again."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

I see a lot of spam going on over what build is best and what skills to use. Below are links that should help, so for those people who are lazy...
Your Welcome
I will be adding more guides and such as soon i find good ones.
Introduction to ROSE online - READ!
Dealer - Stats Builds
Dealer - Skills
Artisans are pure crafters so i suggest getting a summon, either a warrior or the archer, pick only one cause two are a waste of skill points. (About the two summons, if you are going to get Terror Knight summon, then you will need both warrior and archer summons. I suggest getting only one until you can get Terror Knight.) You should start beginning to craft when you go your 2nd job which is Artisan.
Bourgs skills are alot more fun than other class imo. They also can get 2nd job summons too so you can pick a summon too. Each has a Gun build or Launcher, Gun is for crits and speed and launcher is power.
For Gun get the skill Sniping and for Launcher get Demolition (forgot name). After that try getting Mastwer twin shot.
Hawker - Bow
Hawker - Katar and Dual Weilder's
Hawker - Stats
As for stats here is what i found out
Bows need Dex for power, Con for accuracy and Sen for criticals
3:1:1 is a good ratio, keeping con and sen at your level and maxing Dex all the way.
Katar are practically the same as bows, but i would do 3:1:2 keeping Con at your level and Sen above Con and Dex all the way. Your raw AP is low but crits will be flying all over the place.
Dual Weild's are all about attack power. I suggest doing a 2:3:1 build.
2 Str, 3 Dex, and 1 Con.
Muse - Skills
Muse - FS Skills
There are two distinct versions of a FS, one is a fighter and one is PURE support.
Fighters tend to use summons and then they buff their summons for attack power. Supports are always in a party.
Fighters should get the skill "Phantom Sword" ASAP, and max it right away. This allows you to level fast, then on you should try getting the buffs.
PURE Support should just skip the summons and get usefull skills like bonfire and all buffs right away, and you will be partying ALOT!
Muse - Stats
FS should go All INT and con at half your level and sen at the same as your level.
Soldier - Other people
Soldier - Skills
You should pick one distinct weapon group and follow it.
Soldier - Stats
Pure Str and Con at your level. Its a standard build.
Tank, since str gives def power too, go pure str and nothing else.
Leveling Guide
1-10 - Adventurer's Plains, basically it will take you 15 mins if you just fight here.

Back in September, at the Emmy Awards, Hilaria told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush the couple wasn't quite ready to expand their family.
"I think we need a little time to be married first, no?" Hilaria said at the time. "Everybody is trying to rush me."
Instead, the couple said - at the time - they were planning to get another canine companion.

Navy Surgeon General Welcomes Future Physicians to Community
POSTED ON: Monday, February 3, 2014 9:00 AM by Naval Academy Public AffairsThe Navy surgeon general visited the Naval Academy Feb. 3 to participate in a dinner and reception for the 12 Midshipmen selected to commission into the Navy Medical Corps.
Vice Adm. Matthew Nathan addressed the Midshipmen to offer insight into the challenges ahead of them as they graduate from the Academy and begin medical training.
"The biggest challenge for these new officers will be completing four years of medical school followed by post-graduate training in a residency program. They will be challenged in their studies more than they ever have been before as they work to learn an incredible amount of complex knowledge in a short period of time," said Nathan. "These Midshipmen have been selected for the program because they have shown the desire and the aptitude to be successful.
"Even just spending a few moments with these young Midshipmen shows me that the Navy is in good hands," he added.
The application process for Midshipmen starts early in their academic career. They participate in summer training that will expose them to the Navy medical field and, in addition to their studies, take on volunteer clinical experience as well.
"Additionally, these students must also take a full year of organic chemistry with laboratory as well as a full year of college biology," said Daniel Isaac, assistance professor in the Chemistry Department.
Midshipmen must also take the Medical College Admissions Test. Their scores are submitted along with their premedical and predental applications during their second-class year to a committee chaired by chemistry professor Chris Kinter.
The committee consists of the associate dean for academic affairs, a senior representative of the Commandant's staff, a Navy physician or dentist from the Brigade medical staff and a faculty representative from the Chemistry Department, who review the applications and conduct interviews on promising candidates.
Candidates must also apply to medical school by the summer leading into their senior year. They can attend the Uniform School University of Health Sciences or any civilian medical school they choose under the Armed Forces Health Profession Scholarship Program.
"The Midshipmen selected for the Navy Medical Corps have put a great deal of time and effort into their applications," said Nathan. "To get to where these Midshipmen are today, in addition to the other demands of a student at the Naval Academy, deserves special recognition."
The dinner and reception celebrate the achievement of the Midshipmen in reaching their goal to train in a unique Navy career path.
"As Navy doctors, we have the privilege of having an exceptional patient population," said Midshipman 1st Class Jennifer Underhill, of Atlanta, Ga. "Even though we typically won't be in the fight, we are responsible for the well-being of the sailors and Marines who are on the front lines. We become a support system for servicemembers and their families, and that contributes to the fight as much as anything else."
Choosing to be part of the Navy Medical Corps is an extension of the Midshipmen's desire to serve their country, said Isaac.
"Students choosing medicine are choosing a profession. Regardless of their short and long-term futures, they will be physicians," said Isaac. "Moreover, when they make this choice they are committing to a greater length of service than any other community they could choose. This choice effectively ensures that they will spend at least the next two decades of their lives in Navy medicine."
"Even before coming to the Naval Academy, I had always felt a special calling toward practicing medicine," said Midshipman 1st Class Sarah Fogleman, of Kingston, R.I. "I can't think of a career more rewarding than military medicine - serving those who serve."

Citrus Connection
TechPB Factory Team
Proudly Supported by
Animal Paintball Customs
Social Paintball
Oringmonkey.com / Extreme Pros Paintball & Airsoft
High Impact Imagery
Canadian Paintball Headquarters
Kommie Konnection
This sticky is going to be for anyone whose on Citrus Connection, following along with the scenario tour, friends of Citrus Connection and naturally anyone who is interested in TechPB's movement in Canada.
So let's start off with first, the scenario tour.
The Citrus Connection Scenario Tour is a scenario tour across Ontario promoting paintball and TechPB at the best fields in Ontario. This year we hit up and rolled Alien Aggression, the 2011 Wasaga Big Game, Day of the Dead 10 at Flagswipe Paintball in London and most recently attended a "just for fun" event at Crazy Bill's Paintball in Brantford, Dead Men Rising.
So, now that's all in the past so looking forward I'm wondering what events you guys would like to see us attending next season? So far in the works are the following.
Spring Pheonix Project game at Flagraiders Paintball
Living Legends 5 at CPX Sports in Joliet Illinois, projected date May 20-21st
Wasaga Big Game 2012, likely a continuation of the Alien Aggression storyline, Mid August
Day of the Dead 11, Flagswipe Paintball in London, Late September?
Wasaga Beach Paintball Adventure Player Appreciation day? Late October most likely. (This is a maybe)
Other potential games/fields
Along with those events I'd like to also like to definitely hit up Crazy Bill's Paintball again for a smaller event. A visit to SOF Paintball and one other field I think should be in order as well.
One thing I would like to do is get people participating to help us coordinate better with travel and hotels, carpooling can get a lot more players out, I for one would like to see 75-100 players at Wasaga next year, with some time to plan I see no issue with it. Also coordinating with other teams such as our friends with The Gatekeepers, Devil Dogs, SAS Woodsball etc. to all help each other out in our travels. Flat out this is a Canadian movement to help out the fields who help out the players and who put on a quality game.
In regards to the TechPB booth, expect to see a new and improved booth next season with TechPB, Citrus Connection and sponsor banners, an even better BST setup where any players attending the event can put up their items for sale or trade free of charge. Products from Animal Paintball, Oringmonkey.com and Kommie Konnection for sale as well as always, TechPB and other company's swag there for the event's participants.
A full team roster will soon be posted as soon as our jerseys are finalized and all the announcements made in the news section =)

This morning Nokia announced 4 new devices to their handset line-up, 2 Asha devices, and 2 Windows Phone devices.
Nokia's sights did not seem set on the US market though, where the carriers heavily subsidize even higher end devices to bring them into consumer's hands. Instead we saw indications that Nokia is continuing to drive into markets where upfront cost is everything. Stephen Elop was also clear that Nokia are pushing aggressively into the enterprise market, highlighting Windows Phone's integration with Microsoft Office services as well as the full device encryption available on every handset.
There's no arguing against the fact that the two Asha phones, selling at less than the price of your average video game or dinner for two, will sell in their target markets. So we'll focus on the Lumia 720 and the Lumia 520.

After last month spectrum analyzer work, I also looked at the volume meters again. Handling the updates is a bit tricky as I need to sync them to the audio playback. Now I have optimizations in place to skip updates when the meter is zero or maxed and has not changed. This is actually quite often the case.
I also fixed a small UI glitch; song-io plugins did not tell so far whether they support saving and/or loading. Thus one could end up selecting a format and then getting an error. Now one will see only the formats that plugins can handle.
Finally I got around catching up on the docs too. Now all dialogs have some docs including screenshots.
One refactoring I was actually considering to push for after the next release was getting rid of the GtkListStores and use real GtkTreeModels instead. The disadvantage of a ListStore is that it is static, if the underlying object is dynamic one needs to manually synchronize it. This enlarges the code and also the duplicated data storage uses memory. Writing own models was in the end not so difficult, it is quite some boilerplate code though. The first one I wrote is a object-list-model. It allows to bind object-properties to model columns. If e.g. a field changes, the model notifies and the view updates. The whole thing could become more generic if we would have an iterator interfaces and the collection types (list, array, ..) would be gobjects implementing the iface. Well, I am not the first to notice that :). Next I made 2 specialized models and started to take them into use. As a bonus e.g. the machine model provides a nice logical sorting. One more model to implement and switch to.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a proposal in which Scotland would have full economic independence from the United Kingdom but would still remain a part of it and be governed in specific areas such as foreign policy and defence
'Devo max would make Scotland fiscally responsible – why does Cameron oppose it? Only a tribalistic craving for central control explains the prime minister's urge to defend the UK against Scottish autonomy …'The Guardian 12th January 2012
Devo max? Though it might sound like a brand of energy drink or the latest remote control toy, this expression is firmly rooted in the serious business of politics, and British politics in particular.
as the proliferation of expressions to describe this concept might suggest, devo max is a highly contentious issue
Based on abbreviated forms of the words maximum and devolution, devo max refers to the concept of Scotland having full economic independence from the United Kingdom, but remaining part of the union and subject to UK governance in a minimal number of areas, crucially foreign policy and defence issues. Also often referred to as devolution max (or simply maximum devolution), devo max therefore represents the maximum level of autonomy for Scotland, short of full independence. Being something like the 'next best thing' to actual independence, devo max is sometimes also referred to as independence lite, with lite in its popular post-noun sense describing a modified, often less intense version of something (compare marriage lite). A further alternative expression is independence minus. As the proliferation of expressions to describe this concept might suggest, devo max is a highly contentious issue in British politics at the time of writing. Westminster seems largely, if not unanimously, opposed to adopting the proposal, yet polls suggest that there is a level of support for it amongst the Scottish people themselves. Under devo max, the Scots would raise and spend their own taxes and end their fiscal relationship with London. Many commentators suggest that this may not be an entirely bad thing, both politically and economically, for UK central government, and therefore question its resistance to the proposals.
The concept of devo max is a key player in the wider debate on Scottish independence, a hot topic in British politics at the moment due to plans championed by Alex Salmond, Scotland's First Minister, for a referendum to take place in 2014. The UK government, largely opposed to full Scottish devolution, are at odds with the Scottish nationalists over the timing of the referendum, accusing them of delaying tactics in order to garner support. In this context there has been tongue-in-cheek reference to a neverendum, a play on words never-ending and referendum recently used by Prime Minister David Cameron in characterizing the nationalists' desire to continue debating the principles of a referendum but reluctance to stage an actual vote.
The expression devo max emerged in 2011, fuelled by the media as a catchy way of referring to full fiscal autonomy for Scotland.
The concept is not entirely new and follows models in other European countries, such as the Spanish region of Catalonia, which has a level of political and economic autonomy but is not fully independent from Spain's central government.
The system of self-government for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the so-called devolution or transfer of powers, was launched by the UK's Labour government in 1997, resulting in the creation of the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales and the Northern Ireland Assembly. Historical and administrative differences have meant that devolution has applied in different ways in each of the three nations, though each of them independently controls policies in key areas such as education, health, agriculture and the environment.

At CNN, The UN Climate Summit Is A Foreign Subject
Blog ››› ››› JILL FITZSIMMONS
Delegates at the UN climate summit in Durban, South Africa surprised many when they reached an agreement over the weekend that sets the stage for emission targets and a global fund for climate change adaptation. There's much to report on: the progress made, the challenges that remain, and the implications for global action on climate change.
But CNN has yet to report on the agreement during any of its U.S. television broadcasts.
Meanwhile, the Durban conference has been covered by NBC, CBS, MSNBC and even Fox News -- although much of Fox's coverage has been deeply flawed.
And apparently the story is considered newsworthy by CNN International, which has devoted 6 segments to the UN summit since it began on November 28, and has mentioned it on several other occasions, according to a Nexis search. CNN International airs in over 200 countries and territories around the world.
This disparity in CNN's climate coverage reflects a worrisome trend. Far too often, the major American news outlets are silent on climate change stories, while the conservative media -- led by Fox News - continuously and loudly cast doubt on climate science and perpetuate myths about any and all efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
So it comes as no surprise that Americans are largely uninformed about the scientific consensus around human-induced climate change or about the projected impacts on the United States and elsewhere.
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing the human race, and the question of whether we will plan ahead to decrease our vulnerabilities hinges substantially on international cooperation. Apparently CNN's American viewers have to change the channel to stay informed on this important story.

Three Pennington Brothers, All Rutgers-Newark Law School Alums, to Be Honored at "Jazz for Justice" Scholarship Fundraiser
Newark, NJ – The Association of Black Law Students (ABLS) at Rutgers School of Law–Newark will recognize the contributions to the legal profession of Eric, Scott, and Daryl Pennington, all graduates of the law school, at "Jazz for Justice" on Friday evening, November 13. The guest speaker, who will introduce the three honorees, will be New Jersey Supreme Court Justice (Ret.) James H. Coleman, Jr.

"Jazz for Justice" will take place at the Hilton Hotel Newark Penn Station. The annual event benefits the Wanda Green Memorial Scholarship Fund, established by Donita Judge '03 and ABLS to provide tuition assistance to a law student who in some way was affected by the events of September 11, 2001 or Hurricane Katrina. Wanda Green was a flight attendant on United Flight 93.
Eric Pennington graduated from the law school in 1992, Scott in 1999, and Daryl in 2004. Taught by their late mother, Ashley Pennington, to look for opportunities to help others, the three brothers established the Pennington Foundation in her name to assist law students with their education expenses.
Eric Pennington clerked for Chief Justice Robert Wilentz of the New Jersey Supreme Court and Judge Damon J. Keith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, then practiced at Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison LLP and Gibbons P.C. For the past several years, he has had a practice in Newark specializing in employment litigation. He is vice president of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Chief Judge in the Orange Municipal Court.
During law school, Scott Pennington served as a judicial intern for the Honorable Joseph A. Greenaway, Judge of the Federal District Court of New Jersey. After graduation, he coordinated training of Bell Telephone Company's technicians, was recruited to develop and implement a telecommunications curriculum at Newark's Technology High School, and is currently the affirmative action/EEO officer for the Newark Public Schools – all while maintaining a municipal and criminal practice with offices in southern and northern New Jersey.
While still in his twenties, Daryl Pennington established a floor covering business that grossed more than $1 million a year. He put his wife through college then himself, graduating with honors from Temple University. After law school, he gained valuable attorney skills through a close association with the late Raymond Brown and developed a practice with a concentration in criminal defense.
The Pennington family is a three-generation Rutgers–Newark family. Their mother, who did not live to see any of her sons graduate from Rutgers School of Law–Newark, received her M.A. from Rutgers–Newark and Scott Pennington's daughter is currently a Newark undergraduate.

After running shoes and an MP3 player, a heart rate monitor is usually the first piece of equipment runners add to their workouts. If you aren't using one now, you've most likely at least played with them in the past, calculating whether you're working too hard or not hard enough, estimating your total calories burned, and even tracking your mileage or sharing your workouts. Using a heart rate monitor can give you a lot of insight into the quality of your workouts, fitness level, and effective training. So what are the best ways to really get the most out of this popular gadget? Let's break down the benefits:
Step 1: Get your real max heart rate. While the calculation of 220 minus your age has long been the standard for estimating your max heart rate, there are newer, more accurate methods for fitter individuals. One favored formula is 205 – (.5 x your age) or you can also find your maximum heart rate by completing a workout that is directed at reaching it (such as finishing your 5k at an all-out sprint). This Runners' World article has another option involving hill repeats with a maximum effort sprint and recording the highest number shown on your heart rate monitor. These workouts assume that you're in reasonably good shape and that you're well-rested, since recent training, a lack of sleep, and even dehydration can all affect your heart rate. The biggest take-home is to recognize that your maximum heart rate is very individual and isn't going to be in complete agreement with any formula. If you see a number on your heart rate monitor that's higher than you thought your maximum heart rate was, that number is your new maximum heart rate. Use it for planning your training.
Step 2: Calculate your training zones. Once you've established your actual maximum heart rate, you can use it to calculate your zones for training based on the amount of effort that you're shooting for in a given workout. At a minimum you should calculate your easy zone, at 65% of your max (not above 70% of your max), and your work zone, at about 85% of your max. Knowing these numbers allows you to design your workouts intelligently depending on your training goals on a given day. You should include easy days that are directed at increasing your endurance and providing active recovery, during which your heart rate stays below 70% of your maximum. While this may leave you working at a significantly lower effort than you're used to, perhaps even walking, you will find that your fitness improves in time as you're able to work more efficiently on your hard training days. You can make your recovery days even easier on your body by using your Vision Fitness equipment for the lower impact workout it provides. For a simple overview of alternating between the two training zones, check out this blog.
Step 3: Alternate your training zones throughout your week. If you're choosing cardiovascular workouts every day, make sure you're building in active recovery days that keep your heart rate below 70% of your maximum at least twice a week, more frequently if you feel that your age or the demands of your training make that a necessity. Alternate recovery workouts with higher intensity days of at least 80% of your max effort. This level of effort will feel like a tempo run or similar to your 10K pace and will provide a higher calorie burn and challenge to your fitness. To really improve speed and power, work in very high intensity days that challenge your anaerobic threshold, with peaks of 90-95% of your maximum heart rate, alternated with recovery periods. These efforts also increase your metabolic demands, resulting in a higher post workout calorie burn. Since this type of training is tough, it's important to alternate with recovery or rest days so that you can fully benefit from your hard training days, keeping the quality of your workouts high.
Heart rate monitor training is a great way to keep your efforts consistent between your treadmill sessions and time training on the road. You can also make the most of your monitor by integrating it with the workouts offered on your Vision treadmill, elliptical, or indoor cycle. For more on Heart Rate Monitor training, John Parker's Heart Rate Monitor Training for the Compleat Idiot gets consistently good reviews and includes programs that will both challenge you and improve your recovery. Polar's website is also full of tips directed at helping you get the most from your hear rate monitor.

House District 61 candidate Q&A: Robert Petrowsky
October 23, 2012
My unique experiences growing up on a struggling business and learning early how to make sound financial decisions to help it survive, combined with my experience with local fire teams, gives me a unique perspective into the diverse needs of Summit County and the ability to lead it in economic growth and development.
I have experience managing a small business, recently set up a commercial greenhouse for vegetable production and have experience with a fire management team. I know both how to start and grow a business as well as manage public lands. My current job with the Vail Public Safety Communications Team (911 Dispatch) has given me the experience to be able to work with a diverse group and resolve conflicts. I work closely with the CBI helping to manage our access to their records system and understand the needs of both state and local law enforcement, as well as some of the strengths and shortfalls of the judicial system.
The most critical issue I see is reigning in the problem with beetle kill. Summit County depends on its natural resources for tourism. I will issue permits to cut out dead trees and work to remove enough dead timber that we can begin burning out undergrowth and starting the next cycle of forest growth. Unlike other candidates I will work to ensure the government doesn't increase funding for something as simple as a permit. I will reorganize existing jobs and work to grow the industry while minimizing tax spending. By doing this, I will increase total revenue, both for the state and the county. I will work with the industry to ensure we bring in the necessary support jobs to avoid shipping our resources out of state for processing. I will work closely with the industry to make sure we create a sustainable forestry business that will not collapse as the dead trees are removed.
As a third-party candidate, I am not constrained to work within the set bounds of my party. I see good things happening on both sides of the aisle, depending on the issue. I will not tackle any issue that I cannot support with strong numbers or logic. I feel this will help to bring people to my side too.
I will work to eliminate corporate taxes at the state level. If that money is spent on payroll, there will be more money to tax in personal income, sales tax and a multitude of other ways. It is a mathematical certainty that tax revenue will increase with a decrease in corporate tax. I will couple this sound tax policy with a competing mode of funding businesses to ensure we have strong growth. Large corporations can be funded with Industrial Revenue Bonds for day to day operations at a very cheap rate, but small businesses are usually limited to conventional bank loans. I will work to transform existing funding mechanisms at the state level into a program similar to the IRBs. My programs already mentioned on forest health will also create a new industry within Summit County. I will work to ensure that the resources are processed locally, rather than being shipped out of state. This will grow a non-tourism based industry that will provide more seasonal stability and help the service industry from experiencing the roller coaster ride from peak season to mud season. Summit County also has a number of government jobs, such as CDOT, that I will work to protect and increase funding for through increasing the tax base as discussed above.

Undergraduate life at Rice University differs from that at many universities because of Rice's tradition of residential colleges. One of the unique features of Rice is its residential colleges. Before matriculating, each of the university's 3,708 undergraduates becomes a member of one of 11 residential colleges, which have their own dining halls, public rooms, and dorms on campus; most of the first-year students and about 75 percent of all undergraduates reside at their associated colleges.
Because each student is randomly assigned to one of the colleges, and maintains membership in the same college throughout the undergraduate years, the colleges are enriched by the diversity of their students' backgrounds, academic interests and experiences, talents, and goals.
A faculty master, who is assigned to each college and lives in an adjacent house, helps cultivate a variety of cultural and intellectual interests among the students, as well as supporting an effective system of self-government. Other faculty or members of the community serve as associates to individual colleges.
The experience of college residence is indispensable to conveying the rich flavor of academic life at Rice, allowing students to combine their usual studies with an array of social events, intramural sports, student plays, lecture series, innovative college-designed courses, and an active role in student government.

One Year Anniversary of the ARSC T3D NewsletterThe first ARSC T3D Newsletter was mailed out on 8/25/94 and since then there have been 49 issues (almost weekly). I thought about providing an index but that would be a lot of work and would be incomplete no matter how much effort was put into it.
What has been useful for me is to accumulate all of the newsletters in a single directory (~.5MB) and when a query comes up I just grep for the keywords. With grep there is no need for an index.

Londre Picks Up First Spring Win as Phoenix Falls to WMU
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's tennis team fell to Western Michigan 6-1 in its home opener on Saturday at Green Bay Tennis Club. The highlight of the match for the Phoenix was freshman Stephanie Londre (Burlington, Wis.), who picked up her first win of the spring season with a 4-6, 7-6 (1), 10-8 victory at No. 2 singles over the Broncos' Jill Pastunink.
"It was an impressive win from Londre," head coach Sara Schubring said. "She battled back from losing the first and played a flawless second-set tiebreak, using strong serving. She overcame a shaky start in the third-set tiebreaker and showed a lot of poise and mental toughness to outlast Pastunink for the win."
Western Michigan won each of the three doubles matches to secure the day's opening point, and then went on to take five of the six singles contests in straight sets.
The Phoenix is next in action on Saturday, Feb. 16 when it hosts the University of Chicago at 11:30 a.m. at Western Racquet and Fitness Club.

Hey guys, I didn't know where else on the DHC to ask this question so I'm asking you guys. I am in need for a
good pair of binoculars. Ive been all over the place looking for a good pair but I haven't been able to find
what Im looking for. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong type? Im not looking for a small pair to throw in my
hunting bag, or to have around my neck during deer season. I want a good pair that I can bring in the truck and
do some scouting. I need something that I can get a good clear close up of a bird from across the pond, or out
in the middle of the salt marsh and be able to tell if its a black duck I'm looking at or a hen mallard.
I live on the coast, and I do alot of scouting. I'm ready to spend some decent money on a good pair. I'll spend
up to $500. I figured that some of you guys could point me in the right direction since you guys obviously know
about optics. Thank you, and if there is more info that you need please ask.

This is my first helmet project. The Helmet is a Sgt. Fang and I have had the helmet for maybe three years and finally started working on it maybe a year and a half ago. I have made some major progress in the last three weeks, but until I get those pictures sorted out here is what I have so far!
Helmet before anything was done:
Fiberglass prep:
Fiberglassing: I used cut 2" squares cut out of a fiberglass mat.
Bondo: Before I did bondo I cut out the visor. I used the small drill bit that came with my dremel and 'routered' the visor out as close to the edge as possible. I used a flat, triangle and round file to finish the edges.
Keyhole slot cuts: I used the small drill bit on the dremel tool to hollow out the large center 'square' and used a flat file to finish the remainder.
Primer coat:
That was all the work I did last summer. I have recently put the ears on attached the rangefinder stock and mocked up the rangefinder. I also am working on my visor. Hopefully get pics up tomorrow.
Thanks for looking everyone!

President Obama recently visited Russia and had conversations with President Medvedev in which the Russian leader asserted his firm belief in freedom and democracy. Unfortunately, he never communicated that belief to his prime minister, the ever powerful Putin. The Russian police, the Federal Security Service and other agencies will now have power to open the mail of people for whom they suspect of criminal behavior. The Russian Constitution, Article 23, provides for "privacy of correspondence" but apparently the police and other security agencies never go around to reading it. The new regulation does not mention anything about obtaining a court order although the law requires such action prior to checking mail.
According to security agencies, "the document was approved by the Justice Ministry, which means that it corresponds with the Constitution.." This is an interesting way to determine if something is constitutional, ask those violating the Constitution if what they are doing is legal!!

Fisher And Litch Tabbed To Preseason All-MVC Women's Soccer Team
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Drake junior defender Megan Fisher (Ankeny, Iowa/Ankeny) and junior goalkeeper Kalena Litch (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) were among 11 players tabbed by a vote of the seven Missouri Valley Conference head women's soccer coaches as All-MVC Preseason first-team selections, the league announced on Wednesday (Aug. 15).
Fisher started all 19 games as a sophomore, helping anchor a Drake defensive unit that registered two shutouts. She was tabbed to the All-MVC first team in 2011 after garnering second team and All-Newcomer squad status as a freshman. She ranked third on the team in goals (2), while adding 12 shots, including five on net from her defender's slot.
Litch was named to the first team after a sophomore campaign in which she registered a school record and conference-best 132 saves en route to second-team All-MVC honors.
As a team, Drake was picked to finish fifth in the MVC Coaches Preseason poll with 20 points. Pegged ahead of the Bulldogs are Northern Iowa (25 points), Creighton (32 points), Missouri State (43 points) and league favorite Illinois State (47 points). Rounding out the poll was Indiana State (16 points) and Evansville (14 points).
The Bulldogs open their regular season on Friday (Aug. 17) hosting Northern Illinois at the Cownie Soccer Complex. Game time is slated for 7:00 p.m.
Team (Total Points)
1. Illinois State (5) (47 points)
2. Missouri State (1) (43 points)
3. Creighton (32 points)
4. Northern Iowa (1) (25 points)
5. Drake (20 points)
6. Indiana State (16 points)
7. Evansville (14 points)

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by jammertime, Apr 29, 2010.
Put a fork in them. They are done.
From the bright side - if there is one team in the NHL who can blow a 3-0 lead it's the Sharks.
- Either score 5 or give up <3
Go Mule! 4+2 in a must win PO-game is what becomes of you when you are matched against the best already as a young kid. ;)
MULE was huge!
I'm happy that they won a game. But they are still done. I'm guessing next game and it's over. The sharks will be having octopus for dinner. Please pass the salt.
We've actually have outscored the Sharks by three goals this series. Gotta think positive. One game at a time. We're in it together.
If the Wings can win the next game, the pressure will start to shift to San Jose. I don't care for the Sharks one way or the other (no great hate) but man would it be awesome to take them to a Game 7.
- did you see what Shark fan threw on the ice ? A leopard shark with a octopus sewn into it's mouth.
- done and done
Even more impressive would it be to sweep them after being down and out 3-0. Take one game at a time as if it is 0-0 and see if you can win them all.
Are we done yet?
- Now these guys will retool, starting with the D". No since panicing like the Pistons.
Oh well. You can't go to the finals every year. I guess the important thing is that Howard got some playoff experience.
Habs get it to another game 7. This time against the hated Penguins. Ironic that the Montreal Cannuckians are battling the team named after the National Bird of their own nation.
I hope an "Origional-6" team wins it this year.
Go Bruins!
As long as the Penguins don't win another cup.
I agree! 1-0 Habs early in period 1 of game 7!
Go Habs!
Separate names with a comma.

hi im a lvl 50 tm lvl 42 bunny and i am no where close to the money requirement for 2nd job advancement
ive searched everywhere i could and these are the 2 solutions people always gave
1. keep ur lvl 40 gift box unopened and sell it for 1000000
2. go loot
unfortunately i already opened my lvl 40 gift box a LONG time ago so that is not an option. and i don't like looting. i personally hate it and it makes me feel horrible
is there any other way to make money? or if anyone is nice enough to donate some to me hahaa just playin
and can someone give me a heads up for what gift box i should not open and sell for 3rd job? so i don't have to come here and beg for help again haha.
i know there're other threads about it, but people always suggested those two... and the topic seemed to have drifted away...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
what turned out being the problem was just badly glazed rotors and pads. I swapped the rotors because they were pretty much solid rust. That helped pedal feel, but I guess the pads were contaminated or otherwise destroyed from sitting so long (they were super cheap pads)
swapped the pads and now the setup works just as I remember it.
When I upgrade the front brakes to the wilwoods, I'll not only be going from a 10.8" rotor to a 12.19" rotor, but I'm also going to up my calipers from 3.54in^2 to 4.80in^2 to help improve my ability to stop in a panic.
glad I finally got this sorted out =)
|Cape Cod Bob
|What kinda car are you trying to stop. Is it hearier then the other car. Bigger weight means bigger brakes.
the MC I'm using is a 7/8" bore tandem wilwood unit, marketed as being both for disc/disc and disc/drum setups.
I called wilwood today, and didn't get any definitive answers. The tech assures me that a 6.28:1 pedal ratio with a 7/8" bore MC should not have any issues generating the pressure required to actuate my calipers with authority. I bounced some ideas off of him, but we were talking it circles.
It appears I'm on my own to troubleshoot the system.
I re-read the directions on my mityvac 8500 pump today, and vacuum bled the brakes again. This time, I am 100% sure I have bled the system properly.
the pedal feels nice and consistent, but alas, I'm still not getting the stopping power I feel the car SHOULD have.
my next course of action is to replace the front pads (I'm hoping they're horribly glazed from sitting outside, or got contaminated from the ridiculous amounts of rust on the rotors) and that it will be the magic thing to cure my brake woes.
If this doesn't work, I'm going to get a brake pressure gauge and go from there.
If my pressure is low, I'm going to change the system from a single tandem MC to a dual MC setup.
if the pressure is ok, I'm going to upgrade the calipers with calipers that have a larger piston area.
Welcome to the forum!!
Are you using the old disc/drum m/c?
Might need a disc/disc one.
Here's a link for trouble shooting.
Classic Chevy, Chevrolet, GMC, Ford technical articles
Manual setup. Worked, now doesn't.
Hello all. I lurk here a lot, and have gathered a lot of great information but now I have a specific issue that I need help with.
I successfully modified a car with a manual brake setup.
Modified the brake pedal for a 6.28:1 pedal ratio.
Used a wilwood tandem master cylinder 7/8" bore.
Calipers were stock (front disc)
rear wheel cylinders were stock (rear drum)
I had a 10lbs residual pressure valve for the rear drums
I had a metering/ hold off valve for the front calipers
I had a proportioning valve for the rear
I made all the lines were 3/16" hard line with a few stainless steel braided sections.
the car stopped well enough for me to feel comfortable driving it. Manual feels different from power, but I could lock the wheels easily.
that car is now stripped, and I wanted to bring the manual setup on to my current car for the sake of simplicity.
same pedal ratio
same master cylinder
same front calipers
rear is disc
NO residual pressure valve for the rear
NO metering/ hold off valve for the fronts
I have a proportioning valve for the rear calipers
I made all the lines... again, 3/16" steel lines with a few braided sections.
I have bled the system a hundred times. I even pulled the MC and bench bled it and reinstalled in the car, and re-bled the car. Same crap.
The pedal feels a bit spongy at first as I take up system slack, then it gets firm and I can't push it anymore about 3" from the floor.
the car slows, but does not come to a screeching halt even at very low speeds when stomping as hard as I possibly can on the pedal.
the pedal does not sink when holding it
I've bled the system many many times. 2 man method. Bench bled MC. Vacuum pump method. 1 man method. There is no way air is in the lines.
I'm 99% sure I have no leaks (pedal does not sink when constant pressure is applied for long periods of time)
The MC is practically brand new. I've had it for a few years, but it has fewer than 100 miles on it.
I am completely stumped as to why I cannot get the setup working. I'm assuming it may be related to switching from a disc/drum car to a disc/disc car, but if anything, increasing cylinder bore size at the caliper should INCREASE brake torque and DECREASE pedal effort... which is the opposite of what I'm currently experiencing.
any help or insight will be greatly appreciated. I'm calling wilwood tomorrow for technical advice also.
