If you can land the top job at former Gov. Mike Leavitt's online-education brainchild, Western Governors University, you have a pretty good gig.
WGU President Robert W. Mendenhall receives a total compensation package of $827,501, according to a recently released report from the Chronicle of Higher Eduction. That makes him the highest-paid executive of the private colleges listed in the same category as WGU although he doesn't come close to presidents of some larger private colleges, several of whom make millions every year.
WGU is an accredited private, nonprofit, online university, whose offices are based in Salt Lake County. Founded in the late 1990s by Leavitt and 18 other governors, it has about 25,000 students and has awarded more than 10,000 degrees.
The report compared Mendenhall's compensation with 11 other private colleges in the same category. The figures are from 2010, the latest data available from Internal Revenue Service records.
Mendenhall's base salary actually was slashed from $698,231 in 2009 to $318,501 in 2010. But he received $465,500 in bonus pay in 2010 and no bonus in 2009. That gave him a 13 percent increase in total compensation over the previous year.
The report noted that the highest-paid private college president was Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska governor and senator, whose total compensation topped $3 million as the then-head of The New School in New York. It said that 36 private college presidents made more than $1 million.
But none of those was listed in the same category as WGU. The Chronicle said it determines "similar colleges" through an algorithm that includes such factors as enrollment size, percentage of students receiving Pell Grants, percentage of students considered on track to graduate and admission rate.
The latest figures for the University of Utah president show a total compensation of $524,504 and, for Utah State University, $402,667.
Pretty good sport • In response to my column item Friday about Ashley Sumner's news release announcing she is the new communications director for the House Democratic Caucus that failed to mention her first name, she sent me a dozen cupcakes from Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop.
The accompanying card contained two sheets of paper on which "I will not forget that my name is Ashley Sumner" is written 63 times.
She may have a PR future after all.
Consumer alert • If you plan to shop at a state liquor store during this busy holiday season and notice any customers ahead of you with open cases heading to the checkout counter, you might want to make sure you have brought a sack lunch and a sleeping bag.
Workers at some stores are complaining about a new rule that requires them to scan every bottle separately from a case of beer if that case has been unsealed.
If you have shopped at the government-controlled liquor store during a previous Christmastime, you know that you already are in for a lengthy wait. In fact, as the holiday nears, security guards will be posted at the doors to let groups of people in at a time to ensure the store is never too crowded.
Despite the wait and inconvenience to customers and the ulcer-causing aggravation to the checkout clerks, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control found it necessary to initiate the rule in August.
DABC spokeswoman Vickie Ashby said the new policy resulted from an audit recommendation and has "greatly improved the accuracy of DABC's inventory counts."
Customers often mix beverages in open cases, causing them to be entered incorrectly at the cash register.
But some DABC clerks say this is a typical government solution to a small problem. Clerks, they say, can view what's in the boxes, and if there are some bottles of a different brand, just pull one of those out to scan.
What a concept!

Math conference opens eyes of SMWC students
March 7th, 2013 | SMWC
by Lisa Luper, Communications Intern
Is math an abstract concept, or a matter of life and death? Three students from Saint Mary-of-the Woods College (SMWC) learned more about the importance of mathematics at the 14th Annual Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln on January 25-27, 2013. This event allows outstanding women undergraduates to mingle with a select group of current women graduate students and professional women in math related fields.
Shelby Becker, a biology senior from Indianapolis, Ind., who is minoring in mathematics and chemistry, submitted an abstract and was chosen to make a presentation at the conference. Her presentation was titled, "Using Eye-Gazing Data to Predict Radiologists' Cognitive Behavior during Breast Cancer Screening."
The presentation focused on errors that radiologists made when conducting breast cancer screenings. She analyzed the data sheet from a study in order to understand how these errors occurred and how they could be prevented.
"30 percent of radiologists missed problems in screenings. Either they never saw it, or they saw it, but did not identify it as a problem," Becker said.
Becker said that she was excited to present at the conference.
"It was a big honor to be selected to do this," Becker said. "I represented the College as an expert."
Assistant Professor of Mathematics James Valles, Jr. accompanied the students. Valles explained that conferences are valuable for students because they see the purpose and reason for mathematics and the practical ways in which it is used.
"It makes the subject come alive," Valles said. "They get to see what is being done with mathematics and what they can do with it. When we are talking about areas such as X-rays and breast cancer, we are talking about literally life and death situations. Suddenly it's not just an abstract concept anymore."
Also attending were Rachel Ring of Terre Haute, Ind., who is majoring in biology, and Samantha Reed of Bloomington, Ind., a double major in math and education. Besides the student presentations, the conference featured panel discussions, poster presentations, plenary talks and break-out sessions with other students across the country.
Valles added that the opportunity to network with other students and faculty is a valuable benefit as well as the presenting, especially for those that go on to graduate school.

Jason Wu Resort 2013
If you caught glimpses of Karlie Kloss at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Jessica Stam at the 2012 CFDA Awards, or Diane Kruger in Cannes, you have an idea of what Jason Wu's resort collection looks like. Not the full picture, mind you, but a decent understanding of his idea for evening, which is a long, dramatic swatch of richly hued chiffon (Schiaparelli pink, turquoise, deep blue) draped over something short, black, sexy, and lacy.
It's an indication of where Wu is going for spring—altogether softer and more fluid than fall's militia chic. But before jumping ahead, it's probably best to address the season at hand.
Wu's resort look was sparked after coming across some taxidermy bugs with bodies made of watch parts. Really, that's where it started, and from seeing artist Mike Libby's machine-like beetles, wasps, butterflies, and scorpions (like an army of Robocop insects), Wu got the idea to cluster jewels on sporty tanks, ladylike cocktail dresses, and box clutches in insect shapes. "I felt like the mechanical mixed with nature is a commentary on our times," Wu said. "It was also a way to explore embellishment on clothes." Perhaps fortunately, the stones—custom-made for Wu by Swarovski Elements— are so polished and refined that anyone not clued into the inspiration wouldn't be able to identify a placement as a body or wing. Less literal applications included simply using small, round jewels as buttons on short-sleeved tops.
Wu also riffed off Libby's idea of uncommon combinations, so for instance, a pretty day dress was made of a crisp, sleeveless white shirt conjoined with a shiny, floral print chiffon that wrapped around the waist and flowed into a knee-length skirt. It was as if the preppy basic had sprouted butterfly wings.
There were also dark gazar frocks with delicate floral ornamentation done with optic white plastic beads and, for Wu at least, a lot of leather, particularly a classic biker jacket in Yves Klein blue. As for the accessories, they continue to multiply. Wu's three bag shapes—the utilitarian-ish Daphne, the Karlie clutch, and the Jourdan tote—now each come in a variety of color combinations, and there are sunglasses and shoes galore, all suggesting that Wu's on a path to becoming the master of his own universe.

Availability of Central Image Assessments of OAI MR Images
June 24, 2010 (historical)
Additional standardized measurements and interpretations of OAI images from selected samples of participants are available to registered users of OAI Online. Once again, the primary focuses of these assessments are longitudinal structural outcomes of osteoarthritis, and include readings that have up to four time points.
These central images assessments include the following:
- Quantitative cartilage and bone morphology from longitudinal sets of knee MRIs (baseline; 12-month; 24-month; 48-month; progression cohort subset).
- Semi-quantitative (K-L grade, JSN, other IRFs) readings from longitudinal sets of knee X-rays. These X-rays were previously read and now have been re-read for reliability (baseline; 12-month; 24-month; 36-month; progression cohort subset).
- Quantitative joint space width readings from longitudinal sets of knee X-rays. Some of these X-rays were previously read and now have been re-read for reliability (baseline; 12-month; 24-month; progression cohort subset and a subset of non-exposed controls).
The image assessments can be downloaded from the OAI Online website (https://oai.epi-ucsf.org/datarelease/). Please refer to Data News on the OAI Online home page for the latest details about this and previous releases.

God ['elohim] has taken his place in the divine council ['adat 'el]; in the midst of the gods ['elohim] he holds judgement. Ps. 82.1 (NRSV)References to a divine council or heavenly assembly are found frequently throughout the Hebrew Bible [1]. Simply, the divine council is the heavenly royal court over which Yahweh, the God of Israel, presides as heavenly king. The members of this heavenly court or assembly are referred to in the Hebrew Bible by such terms as: bene (ha)'elohim "sons of God" (G … [Read more...]
In much of the modern Judeo-Christian tradition, including LDS Christianity, Satan is seen as the personification of evil, a being who purposely defies God and attempts to thwart his plans for the world.[1] Because Satan is such a prominent figure in especially the Christian tradition, it is quite shocking that the notion of this archenemy to God is not really found anywhere in the Hebrew Bible, and doesn't clearly appear until the intertestamental period (i.e., the period between the writing o … [Read more...]
Wait, that's (not) in the Bible?! God's Omniscience
There is an interesting tradition found in many biblical texts that affirms that Yahweh, the God of Israel, genuinely consults with others and considers their voice despite the fact that he is eminently more powerful and knowledgeable than they. This is especially evident in those texts where Yahweh reasons or dialogues with a prophet and, at times, even changes his intended course of action after hearing their argument(s) and opinion(s). As one example, consider Exodus 32.7-14 (NRSV) which … [Read more...]
El Shaddai
This important title, often found in connection with name 'El, is found in several biblical passages in reference to Israel's God (e.g., Gen.17.1; 28.3; 35.11;49.25; Ex. 6.3; Num. 24.4, 16; Ps. 68.15; Job 8.3,5, etc.). [1] 'El-Shaddai is P's favored title for God before the revelation of the divine name to Moses. But what is its meaning, and what is its historical derivation? Traditionally, following the LXX (i.e., the Septuagint, or ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible), which uses … [Read more...]
"Listen, O Israel, Yahweh is our God, Yahweh is one." Does the Bible Teach Radical Monotheism?
Deuteronomy 6.4-9, also known as the Shema because the first word of the passage in Hebrew is the imperative shĕma', meaning "Listen," is probably one of the most well known passages in all of biblical literature. In Jewish tradition this passage is frequently recited as a prayer, a practice that goes back at least to the early rabbinic period [1]. The broader Judeo-Christian tradition, moreover, has often taken the first verse of this passage as a statement of Israel's (and its own) radical mono … [Read more...]
The Divine Council
There has been serious discussion among Mormon scholars over the past several years regarding the divine council in the Hebrew Bible and its implications for Mormon thought. For instance, very recently Blake Ostler published his third volume of Exploring Mormon Thought, in which, among other issues, he discusses at length various aspects of the heavenly council in the Hebrew Bible and what their implications might be for Mormon theology. David Bokovoy, a Mormon PhD student studying at Brandeis … [Read more...]
Genesis 1-3 and The Documentary Hypothesis (again)
As scholars have noted for some time, and as I shall argue here, there are quite clearly two creation stories that presently exist side by side in Genesis chapters one through three, and which derive from two different sources which have been edited or redacted together.[1] The first source is the account of creation found in Genesis 1.1-2.4a (or, as some scholars might argue, Genesis 1.1-2.3), and is typically known as "P" (which stands for "Priestly," as it is believed to have been written and … [Read more...]

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Canada -- China Mist Tea has authorized five of its premium loose-leaf iced tea blends to be packaged in Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee's recyclable EcoCup format. China Mist capsules are brewed hot, served over ice and sweetened to individual taste. They will launch in the fall in blackberry jasmine green, watermelon black, passion fruit black, strawberry herbal and mango herbal blends.
China Mist EcoCups will be available in the U.S. and Canada. National Coffee Service & Vending (Erie, CO) will supply OCS operators and other specialty channels.
EcoCups are an extension of the RealCup brand launched by Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee. They're compatible with all Keurig K-Cup brewers and accepted in many curbside-recycling programs across the country.
"When we set out to find a partner for this format, we knew that taste would be the deal breaker," said Kermit Peterson, president of China Mist. "At China Mist, we've spent over 30 years developing high quality, fantastic-tasting teas and the only way we would consider expanding into the single-serve cup format was if a capsule could produce the same quality taste of our blends."
Peterson said the deal was sealed when the company sampled the EcoCup capsule whole-leaf teas.

Build a drum sanding table
If you don't want to pop for a dedicated oscillating drum sander, a sanding drum chucked into a drill press is a quick way to sand contours. But unlike the real deal, there's no dust collection, and since the drum doesn't oscillate up and down, only the lower edge of the sanding surface gets used. It also means there's always a little gap where the drum is slightly above the drill press table. This simple sander table solves all these problems automatically.
Use 1/4-in. or any other thickness plywood for the base, and size it slightly smaller than the drill press table so you can clamp it down. Build a 1x4 frame, a few inches smaller than the base, so there's room for the clamps, and glue and pin it to the frame. Then glue and nail 3/4-in. material to the frame for the top. This one is 16 in. square. Build it longer or deeper if you want to sand wider or longer stuff. Cover the top with plastic laminate if you wish. It's worth the trouble because using a drum sander is tricky, and the slippery surface makes it much easier to control sanding.
Finally, drill a hole slightly larger than the drum in the center of the top and a dust-port hole in the frame sized to fit your shop vacuum hose. Move the drill press table up and down to use the entire sanding surface as it wears.
Figure A: Drum Sander Table
You can build a drum sander table from just about any scraps you have lying around your shop.
Drum Sanding ABCs
The biggest mistake drum-sander neophytes make is to remove too much material on each pass. Don't be overly aggressive: Use coarse grits only when necessary, and use very light pressure on each pass. Feel for imperfections with your fingertips, and mark the high spots with a pencil.

Texas National Guard Warns of 'Force Degradation' Due to Shutdown
The Texas National Guard, formally referred to as the Texas Military Forces, says its strength will be 'degraded' by the ongoing government shutdown, 1200 WOAI news reports.
"Any time you send more than 50% of your fulltime force home there will be a negative impact on operations," Lt. Col. Joanne MacGregor, state public affairs officer, told 1200 WOAI news. "All of our aircraft and vehicle maintainers are uniformed military technicians, therefore every day the federal government maintains its shutdown is one day longer it take us to prepare our emergency equipment."
Lt. Col. MacGregor pointed out that the TMF are on standby in case of a hurricane, as we are in the peak season or Gulf hurricanes, or to respond to other emergencies.
"This shutdown is causing us to postpone unit training, force many key leaders to stay home on furlough, and take our service members out of vital skill qualification schools," she said.
The shutdown is beginning to affect the 22,000 'citizen soldiers' who are the backbone of the TMF. They train one weekend a month and two weeks a year, and all training is cancelled due to the government shutdown.
MacGregor points out that many TMF officials have already dealt with several days with no pay due to the federal government 'sequester,' which just ended last month.

Your pain is not unique. You might tell yourself no human has experienced the same combination of setbacks and frustrations, that you feel things others do not but let's face it, mankind's greatest pain reliever, alcohol, has been around longer than you have.
The older I get, the more friends I seem to rack up who have addiction problems.
As the tide of youthful optimism withdraws, many of us run aground on the reef of "the way shit just is" and, well ... can you make that a double?
I know people who use cocaine, marijuana and Xanax; for some it's sleeping pills, synthetic opioids like Oxycodone, but mainly it's booze. In all but a few extreme cases, it's difficult to tell whether they or the drug is in control.
Pretty much all of them consider life more "fun" when they consume these substances because it makes them "feel good".
Most would also admit boozing, snorting or smoking is a way of letting off steam and escaping the stresses of work, family or, perhaps, negative self-talk.
Get them at the right point and many will also acknowledge their self-medication is a way of temporarily numbing the sheer discomfort of being alive.
The human condition, the void, the meaning of life, the inevitability of isolation, the denial of death – describe it how you will, but there's not many of us besides Tony Robbins and kids' TV hosts who fail to recognise life's challenges can be painful.
One of my favourite big brains, Stanford professor James Sheehan, quotes the political scientist Martin White as saying: "All of us know that what we want to do and what we do is always a subject of an interaction between our will and the world around us."
Continues Sheehan: "We continually face as we live our lives ... friction; that is, the resistance of the world to our effort to master it and act within."
Anyone who's had carpet burn or skidded knees over bitumen knows friction can be painful, but I find nowadays there's a trend towards people repositioning the world's resistance to them as something new.
The complexity of modern life, our imminent demise as a species, racism, misogyny, the housing market, consumerism, corruption – they all go into the pot of despair, as we tell ourselves our pain is so personal and unique.
British music writer John Doran captured this recently, calling it "the quest for beauty, a struggle to achieve aesthetic perfection in an imperfect world".
He wrote: "Every morning I woke up, the world was too ugly to face. There was dirt, horror and disfigurement everywhere I looked. But after one stiff drink I could leave the house; after two the fear started lifting and then, after the third drink, I'd feel like an artist."
When Doran – a former alcoholic – drank, friction disappeared. There was "just the sweet sensation of your life passing you by with no struggle and no fuss".
Many would disagree with him but then many people also run marathons or work 100-hour weeks to keep them from confronting who they are, the choices they've made, what they've become.
The ability to deal with life's friction in non-destructive ways is viewed as "functional", while those who numb themselves are seen as cowards, addicts or wastrels ... with the odd artist poking round the wreckage, watching the tide roll away.
All men are liars
Sam de Brito
Your pain is not unique. You might tell yourself no human has experienced the same combination of setbacks and frustrations, that you feel things others do not but let's face it, mankind's greatest pain reliever, alcohol, has been around longer than you have.

RIALTO -- The Rialto High School student who got into a fistfight with a band teacher won't be expelled and is fighting to come back to his high school.
On Dec. 10, the student - whose name is not being used here, as he is underage - was thrown out of Jack Poster's "History of Rock and Roll" class. As he was headed for the classroom door, the student turned and called Poster a pejorative word.
At that point, Poster came after the boy, according to Gil Navarro, a member of the San Bernardino County Board of Education, who's working as an advocate for the boy's family.
" 'What did you say?'" Navarro said Poster asked the boy.
The boy pushed Poster away - which is consistent with what the teacher said previously - and then Poster reportedly swung and punched him.
School security attempted to separate the two but, Navarro said, Poster continued to try and attack the student. Contrary to Poster's previous assertions, Navarro said the boy did not attack his teacher beyond the initial shove.
"This teacher has an anger problem, as far as I'm concerned," Navarro said. "He needs to get into another career. "
Rialto Unified is not pursuing expulsion for the boy, but did transfer him to a different high school.
"This was a serious allegation on both sides," Rialto Unified spokeswoman Syeda Jafri said. "You had a teacher who has admitted in public to being involved in a physical altercation with a minor and you have a minor who was in a physical altercation with an educator, so it's in the best interest of the student to place him in an environment where he has an opportunity to begin a fresh start. "
The move was made without the family's permission, according to Navarro, which means, he said, it violates the student's Individualized Education Program - a tailored education plan laid out for disabled students, under federal law.
Navarro filed paperwork on Wednesday night notifying Rialto Unified officials of the boy's desire to return to Rialto High.
"I personally feel he's a good kid and it's unfortunate that this teacher went out of control," Navarro said. "Any teacher who feels they need to take the law into their own hands needs to look for a new career. "
According to Navarro, since the student's IEP says his instruction takes place at Rialto High, he should be moved back immediately or the district needs to start the formal process to make an involuntary reassignment to the new school.
"He's a fine young man," Navarro said.

Some leaders strike out and expect others to follow. The best leaders help others build the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to thrive and thereby move your organization forward.
Coaching drives employee development and improves performance. Coaching can even help you grow your next generation of leaders as today's leaders pass on their knowledge, inspire confidence, and foster self-reliance. But coaching takes more than good intentions and common sense. To be effective in their role as coaches, leaders must recognize coachable moments and know how to structure a coaching conversation — important skills explored in this course.

Safe Bet
News & Events
It's always a safe bet for any student to partake of the full slate of offerings during his or her college years. For one alumna, her time at Bridgewater allowed her to develop a host of skills, in and out of the classroom, that helped her career, making her today one of the leading players in guiding casino gaming in Massachusetts.
"What really helped me is the discipline that comes with being a student-athlete," said Gayle Cameron, '78, one of the state's gaming commissioners, a panel charged with awarding three gaming licenses.
Ms. Cameron, 57, who played basketball, and was captain of the softball and volleyball teams at Bridgewater, graduated with a degree in health and physical education. She had thought about teaching. But it was a time when teaching jobs were scarce and women were in demand in law enforcement. A friend encouraged her to apply to become a state trooper. She says her time in athletics while at Bridgewater helped her succeed when she joined the New Jersey State Police.
"If you're practicing two to three hours after classes and then you're traveling to away games, you really have to have time-management skills in order to get through," Ms. Cameron said. "That helped me tremendously in getting through a very difficult state police academy."
In 1979, she became a road duty trooper in New Jersey, eventually becoming a detective assigned to casino gaming, at a time when Atlantic City was building a new casino a year.
"So I did the work that our Massachusetts State Troopers are doing right now, investigating the companies that have applied to be licensed here in the commonwealth," she said.
During her time in Jersey, Ms. Cameron worked a number of cases involving attempts to infiltrate Atlantic City by the Philadelphia mob. She later rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and became deputy superintendent for statewide investigations, the second highest rank on the force.
When Massachusetts came calling, she had retired to Florida after 28 years on the force. Her role policing organized crime and casino gaming in New Jersey made her a natural fit as Massachusetts looked to expand gaming from horse racing and the state lottery to slots and casino gambling.
So the Weymouth native moved back home, first to Plymouth and then to Quincy.
Her latest role – and that of the other four commissioners – is a broad one: developing the mechanisms for overseeing casino gaming, evaluating and investigating applicants, and granting the three licenses. To date there have been 11 applicants. The panel has criminal investigative powers, backed by the Massachusetts State Police and the attorney general.
By January, the commission expects to issue the "slots license," and it is targeting April for awarding the two licenses for resort casinos, she said.
Ms. Cameron said the commissions owe it to the citizens to be thorough. "We are looking to do this in a very safe and secure way … we're looking for very clean companies to come in here to the commonwealth and do business," she said.
Ms. Cameron recalls fondly her time at Bridgewater State and still maintains friendships. She recently attended a reunion with people from Bridgewater.
"That was my life," she said, recalling her time attending classes and with great coaches and teachers. "I had some very good coaches who really did mentor me … Athletics teaches a person life skills, meaning, and how to get along with other people."
In late October, the commissioner visited her alma mater to speak to a group of students from the honors book club. (Read the full story about the event.)
In addition to her bachelor of science degree from Bridgewater, Ms. Cameron earned a master's from Seton Hall University and holds several law enforcement degrees. (Story by Steve Ide for University News)

I started using LinkedIn what seems like a decade ago. Even though I am a web person, I really couldn't see the value beyond being an online Rolodex. Fast forward to 2011 and you'll notice that LinkedIn today is not the same LinkedIn of 2000.
In December CBSAC/NY had the "LinkedIn: How to Make it to the Top" event with Ruben Quinones from Path Interactive. Through Ruben's pointers, I was clued into knowing how use LinkedIn more effectively. It is now my favorite social network platform on par with Twitter. Some of the pointers that I was able to pick up from this session were:
1. Your LinkedIn profile is governed by the laws of SEO.
Even more so than on Web sites or blog articles you should pay attention to keywords. These are most important in the Experience Section job titles. If you are a Manager of Communications but actually do social media community management, use Social Media Community manager as your job as you will come up in more relevant "social media" searches
For the same keyword SEO reason, fill up your Skills Section with your applicable skills. LinkedIn has a set of predefined descriptions that pop up when you are entering your list of skills. I tried to stick to these terms that LinkedIn suggested. I guessed that LinkedIn probably knew more on the most popular search times than what I did. Skill descriptions such as "working a room" aren't in this list of most popular terms. So it's better to probably better to just skip those.
2. Affinity, affinity, affinity is the location of LinkedIn.
The dirty little secret that LinkedIn doesn't want you to know is that the more connections you have, the more often your profile will come up in search. LinkedIn says that your connections should be people you know and trust. I know most of the people that I am connected to, with some thought. Either that or they are CBS alumni. But, I connect with almost anyone that asks unless it looks like a spam or false account. Group membership also plays into affinity and the number of times you come up in a search. If you are looking for a new position, join a recruiting group. You'll come be in more recruiters' searches.
As a corollary to connections, the process of sending a message to your connection, who forwards it to theirs, is in my opinion flawed. I've never seen this work effectively. If the person you are trying to contact is a CBS alumnus, you can look up their email address in the Columbia BANC and contact them directly outside of LinkedIn. If they are not alumni, do some other type of investigative work to track down their contact details.
3. An update each day is the only way.
You won't be seen or found as often in LinkedIn unless you participate in the communities or provide a status update. The more you do this, the more you'll be found. In LinkedIn searches, like Google, the profiles higher up on the list of results are those that were updated more recently higher. I've seen this in action through my own experiences as verified in the analytics LinkedIn provides to every account for free. The weeks where I participate more, the number of times I am found in search will sometimes double.
A great way to participate or provide updates is to put one of those ShareThis buttons on your browser. After reading an article you can easily post the URL to LinkedIn with your thoughts. This can be done as a status update or a group post. The LinkedIn status updates can be automatically tweeted.
As a summary your profile findability depends upon your keywords, your connections, and your status activity. I found Ruben's information to be quite useful and I am looking forward to learning more.

1.1 Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
To install GHC on Mac OS X, there are the following options:
- Haskell Platform
- Standalone installer.
- You need to have Xcode 3.0 installed. If you do not have Xcode, you can install it from the installation DVD you got with you Mac or download it for free from Apple Developer Connection.
- MacPort's ghc package
1.2 Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
- Running GHC on Snow Leopard
- as of 2009-09-08 MacPorts's package ghc is not yet supported on Mac OS X 10.6.x (SnowLeopard)
1.3 MacPorts
MacPorts contains a Portfile for GHC. Using MacPorts to install GHC will take a while as your computer will compile all the source files itself. In most cases, you're better off installing GHC through the standalone installer (see next section).
If you have MacPorts installed and haven't told it to selfupdate in a while, do that first:
$ sudo port selfupdate
This will take up to a minute, so be patient. It tells MacPorts to retrieve the latest package information from its servers. Next, install GHC:
$ sudo port install ghc
MacPorts will first download and install any dependencies that are needed to install GHC; then it will download, build and install GHC itself. A point of caution however. MacPorts also provides GHC packages. If these are installed and then GHC is upgraded the packages need to be uninstalled and reinstalled, or they will not register properly with the upgraded GHC.
There is a MacPorts package for Hugs (under the name hugs98).

Arcana Newsletter December 2010Sunday, December 19th, 2010
Arcana Acquires Hero Happy Hour!
Arcana Comics is proud to announce that they have acquired Hero Happy Hour.
Imagine pulling up a stool to the bar and sipping a frosty pint of your favorite beverage as you listen in on the conversations of the "regulars" that frequent the neighbourhood tavern. But this establishment is unlike any other bar. The Hideout Bar & Grill caters to super heroes of First City. And this watering hole serves as more than just a place to wash away the troubles of serving and protecting society as crime fighting crusaders. For the regular heroes it is "a place where everyone knows your name," secret identity or not.
"I actually wish I would have thought of it." – Brian Michael Bendis (writer of Ultimate Spider-Man, Powers, New Avengers).
Created by writer Dan Taylor and artist Chris Fason, Hero Happy Hour was named in Wizard's Best of 2003 as "Concept We Wish We'd Thought Of."
"With a concept that's as ingenious as a two-for-one happy hour and laughs that hit faster than a shot of Wild Turkey to your dome, Hero Happy Hour won't leave you skunky." – Wizard Magazine
View the Paradox Trailer Now!
Homicide detective Sean Nault (Kevin Sorbo), a cop on a parallel Earth whose technology is powered exclusively by magic. Sean investigates a baffling series of murders committed by a means he's never seen before: science. With the aid of Lenoir, a member of the ridiculed subculture of "pragmatists" who believe science is more than the stuff of myths & children's stories, and the 130 year old sorcerer Winston Churchill, Sean uncovers an ominous plot that will lead him to another dimension and the realization that, unless he prevents it, both earths could well be destroyed. Based on the graphic novel by Christos Gage!
View the trailer here: http://www.americanworldpictures.com/
Leage of Super Evil (L.O.S.E.)
The hit animated series, League of Super Evil, comes to Arcana in the League of Super Evil Comics Special! Armed with a whole new approach to badness, The League of Super Evil (L.O.S.E.) follows four super villians who have set their sights on nothing less than total neighbourhood domination! These four may think they're bad to the core, but with no budget, no skills, and not a heck of a lot of brain power, evil is the last thing they really are!
Features two stories: Swimming with Sharks – a battle to keep the neighbourhood kid away from the inflatable pool, and One Zillion – The Great Voltar's quest to accumulate the most TV channels EVER!
L.O.S.E. can be seen on Cartoon Network and YTV. This book is appropriate for kids, but great for adults too!

Interview with Josh Blaylock
This month, Arcana's Vice President of Operations, Mark Poulton interviews Josh Blaylock, CEO and founder of Devil's Due Publishing about Arcana's acquisition of some of the Devil's Due library.
MP: Devil's Due is one of the biggest comic book publishers around. Looking back what are some of your proudest accomplishments?
JB: One of? WE are THE biggest! (note – we use the same statistical analysts as Wizard World convention attendance trackers). Seriously, though, thanks for the compliment. Obviously snagging the G.I. Joe license ten years ago at a time that everyone used to ask "Why on Earth would anyone want something from the EIGHTIES?" was the pinnacle event that put us on the map. Out of other series I'd have to say bringing HACK/SLASH and DRAFTED to the world top the list. Also working with the series' respective creators – someone as prolific as Tim Seeley since the beginning of both our careers, and Mark Powers, an industry veteran, respectively. There are ton of convention stories I'd love to tell that top the list too, but out of respect for the other parties in those stories, I'll keep them to myself.
Lastly, I'd say, simply, just not working for anyone! I have a deep belief that no one should just blindly become an employee, or in the case of talent, work for hire. It's okay to do that, but be conscious of it and work to build something you own on the side.
MP: When you decided to work with other publishers how did you come about choosing to work with Arcana?
JB: Sean ran up to me at a comic-con five or six years ago, in that distinct O'Reilly fashion, and offered to buy me a beer so he could ask me some publishing questions. I had no idea who he was and that Ant costume kinda gave me the willies, but Momma always said never pass up a free drink.
We stayed in touch, and a mutual associate mentioned that Arcana was looking to expand its library. By this time I had yanked publishing from our distributor due to matters we're still looking into, so publishing in the traditional sense was over. Sean agreed to let me keep creative control, and to bring some titles back from the dead, so how could I say no?
As Devil's Due rebuilds, and comics moves out of its direct market prison into the mainstream world, it's evolving (I believe with the entire publishing industry) into a company no longer as focused on publishing as we are on creating stories and characters that can be published by multiple parties. Our biggest asset is our ability to create ideas, and then to sell those ideas through stories and products, or sell the ideas outright. Kind of full circle to how the company started.
MP: Now Arcana has acquired select titles from DDP to publish as collected tpbs. They are Kore, Warstone, Mercy Sparx, Misplaced, Defex, Breakdown, and Blade of Kumori. For fans who may be new to Devil's Due, what can they expect from these titles?
JB: I'd like to continue Mercy Sparx and finish the story we started on Free Comic Book Day a couple of years ago, and would love to do more Kore, but we're still waiting on a budget from Mr. O.
I'm told you guys are also going to finish the long-hibernating Blade of Kumori story, and am anxiously awaiting writers and artists to approve.
In general we tried to tell high action stories with a good dose of humor, ranging from post modern high fantasy to super hero. Mercy is my baby, and deals with the bureaucracy between Heaven and Hell. There's a badass exorcist coming into the story, and Mr. Suit is on a tirade in Hell looking for everyone that sold him out so I hope we get to tell it.
I personally created the core concepts behind all of those titles, even the ones that were written by others, and I guess the common theme usually involves being transported from one world to another in some way, and getting caught up in 'the system.'
MP: Do any of the collections contain any new material?
JB: I hope not! If they do I know nothing about it. That's another thing I'm looking forward to seeing the presentation on.
MP: Can fans expect to see you at the Arcana booth this year at SDCC?
JB: Sure. I'll probably be there a few times during the week when not at the Devil's Due booth.
MP: Is there anything else you would like to say to fans before we go?
JB: Just thanks for sticking with us for all these years. It's been a very rough two years, but we just celebrated our 9th anniversary since the release of our first major title. Thanks to Arcana for helping to continue getting these stories out to the people who love them!
I'd also like to let everyone know to check out www.joshblaylock.com, my personal blog about the business of creativity, with heavy ties to the comic book and pop culture world.

Our Story
Wondermade started as a gift.
Christmas was approaching and I was stuck without any great gift ideas. I wanted to give something awesome to Jenn, but nothing seemed right. I heard an interview on NPR about candy and started wondering how to make candy. A little time on the Internet and I'd learned we had everything we needed to cook our own marshmallows except for a candy thermometer and some know-how.
Lucky me, she loved the gift. So we cooked our first batch and were pretty amazed at just how good they were. That's not because we were candy-making prodigies - a quick glance at the ingredients on store-bought marshmallows helped us realize that we'd just grown up with low-quality candy.
So we kept cooking, trying new recipes and different flavors. You can't cook just one marshmallow, so we always had copious quantities to give to our friends.
I still remember the first time a friend asked to order some of our marshmallows. It was a huge "Aha!" moment for us. We loved these marshmallows. So did our friends. Why wouldn't everyone? So we spent a year perfecting our recipes. We spent that year perfecting our processes. And we spent that year perfecting our packaging so that every detail of Wondermade was built with as much love and care as we put into our marshmallows.
Wondermade started with an act of love. It's that same love today that keeps us committed to crafting incredible marshmallows that are as fun to share as they are to eat.

NFL Draft > 2010 Prospects > QB > Sean Canfield
Sean Canfield Scouting Report
|Oregon State Beavers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'4 - 215 lbs.
2010 NFL Combine Results
|40-Yard Dash
|Broad jump
2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Sean Canfield, QB, Oregon State
Despite being a three year starter, Canfield has not played that much for the Beavers. He red shirted in 2005 and began playing the following season. Canfield posted decent numbers while playing a limited role in 2006: in nine games, he threw for 335 yards (28-45) with a pair of TDs and two INTs. He started all eleven games in 2007, producing 1,661 passing yards on 165-286 (57.7 completition percentage) with 9 TDs and 15 INTs. His junior campaign last year was cut short due to a shoulder injury. Canfield shows good touch and timing. He has a quick release and throws with accuracy, and makes quick reads. He has good pass rush awareness in the pocket; he is a tough competitor. However, Canfield lacks bulk and strength. He has only average speed (4.96) and elusiveness. Deep balls tend to flutter as he doesn't put great velocity on deep outs. He needs to do a better job taking care of the ball. He tends to make poor decisions when trying to force a pass into coverage. Also, he will have some lingering injury concerns. Canfield does not have exceptional physical tools, but his competitiveness should enable him to make it to training camp. At this time, he projects as a late round pick--maybe the sixth. Canfield could improve his stock with an impressive showing at the NFL Combine.

USC geographers earn top honors
Contact: Peggy Binette 803-777-5400 firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Susan Cutter and Dr. Dave Cowen, researchers in the University of South Carolina's College of Arts and Sciences, have been honored for their contributions in the field of geography.
Cutter, a Carolina Distinguished Professor of Geography, has been awarded the Association of American Geographers Lifetime Achievement Honor. Cowen, a Carolina Distinguished Professor of Geography Emeritus, was appointed chairman of the U.S. National Geospatial Advisory Committee by Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. He also has been named a "GIS Hero" by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), the world leader in GIS technology.
The AAG recognized Cutter for her research, public service and academic leadership. She was described as the leading social scientist in the area of natural and technological hazards and risk analysis and for her research, which impacts societies throughout the world.
Cutter is a specialist in understanding the vulnerability and resiliency of communities, states and nations struck by disaster, from earthquakes to terrorism. Through various leadership roles, she has guided the expenditure of public funding in ways that are most likely to benefit the greatest number of disaster victims. She also has played a pivotal role in significant national studies on disaster management, human dimensions of hazards, behavioral approaches to decision-making for environmental issues and earth science applications of satellite technology.
She is the director of USC's Hazards & Vulnerability Research Institute and is a former president of the AAG. She serves on an advisory committee for the National Research Council and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Cowen has served as a member of the National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC) since 2008. As chairman, he will preside over the most important federal advisory committee for the management of national geospatial programs and the development of the national spatial data infrastructure. Geospatial technologies include GIS (Geographic Information Systems), GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and remote sensing.
He has been instrumental in building USC's reputation as a national leader in the field of GIS and remote sensing. In 2004, Cowen was named a national associate by the Council of National Academy of Sciences for his "extraordinary service" to the National Academies. He was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in GIS by Esri in 2005.
Cowen succeeds NGAC chairman Anne Hale Miglarese, who earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree in geography from USC.
As an Esri GIS Hero, Cowen was cited for his research, teaching, development and implementation of GIS technologies and techniques. For more information about Cowen's work go to www.esri.com/news/arcnews/spring11articles/saving-the-world-one-parcel-at-a-time.html

"Never underestimate the power of your example."
In his commencement address at Barnard this week, President Obama gave the senior class a message reminiscent of his 2008 campaign slogan: Yes you can. "The very fact that you are graduating, let alone that more women now graduate from college than men, is only possible because earlier generations of women—your mothers, your grandmothers, your aunts—shattered the myth that you couldn't or shouldn't be where you are," he noted, setting up a parable. "I think of a friend of mine who's the daughter of immigrants. When she was in high school, her guidance counselor told her, 'You know what, you're just not college material. You should think about becoming a secretary.' Well, she was stubborn, so she went to college anyway. She got her master's. She ran for local office, won. She ran for state office, she won. She ran for Congress, she won. And lo and behold, Hilda Solis did end up becoming a secretary—she is America's Secretary of Labor."
"The definition of success changes."
In 2006, Ellen DeGeneres brought some much-needed levity to Tulane's post-Katrina graduation ceremony by making a surprise appearance in a white terry-cloth bathrobe, because, she deadpanned, "They told me everyone would be wearing robes." Three years later, the New Orleans native was invited back to be the school's commencement speaker and gave (mostly) serious advice about the meaning of success. "For many of you today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila," DeGeneres said in her speech. "For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give in to peer pressure. To try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way. So to conclude my conclusion: Follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that."

Let the appropriate authorities deal with it rather than slobbering on a public forum!!
Let the appropriate authorities deal with it rather than slobbering on a public forum!!
I think alot of people who viewed it don't know whether the story that's been written is accurate or not so have no response. When I read it I thought "I wonder if that's true". I never make judgements based on one persons version of events. If the story was backed up with sources or something I think more people would comment. I hope the kid is ok either way.
Fuck no-gi
I don't know what to make of this from what I seen on Facebook the guy was in a bad way, is he ok now? Accidents can happen I'm sure he didn't mean to hurt the guy however I'm pretty sure he will be in a lot of bother from the law which will deal with this. I doubt given the circumstances he will still be fighting if this is as serious as it sounds.
Hope the wee guy is alright
This is nothing but a complete liberty taking situation!
How can you guys even say stuff like this?
I'm sure you would be straight onn here wanting Bungard banned if it was your kid fighting for his life!
You keep barking on about "mistakes". Yes mistakes happen, but there's a difference.
Bungard is a trained professional fighter, he should never have lifted his hands to a kid in the first place!
If this was in boxing, it would be all over the papers and he would never step in a ring again!
You are tryinng to promote the sport of MMA, so bann this thug, because if you don't, a lot of bad press will come to light about MMA.
If Bungard is allowed to fight againn, put him in the cage with Ryan's brother, someone his own size and experience aand see how he gets on.
You can't let this bastard away with this, its manslaughter for fucksake!!
He's not a professional fighter.
If the papers do get a hold of the story im sure they will have a field day.
I also hope the kid is ok
Was it 1 blow in the incident ?
Sincerely hope the injured lad makes a swift & full recovery.
Maybe Chris will be able to give side of the incident before anyone can truly pass opinion on the matter.
Not that it matters but Chris isn't pro rules fighter.
Chris is obviously going to defend himself?
Think it if it was your kid, with no training, knocked out cold for 6 minutes to a MMA fighter with countless experience, how would you feel?
And I also seen this..
Shaun Disgrace Taylor
Fuck the haters bro.
That guys a slabbering wee spastic.
It was the fuckers own fault for being a wido.
24 minutes ago*·*Like*·
out of interest do any of the three posters calling for chris to be banned have any involvement with the sport at any level ?
Very, very tragic, hope the kid is ok.
This is a police matter and lawyers etc are involved so I won't be commenting.
Rob McCrum, Pro BW. www.bjjscotland.co.uk
The problem here is that nobody has presented an unbiased and factual acount of what happened.
Not to make light of the situation, but it is being presented as though some child was playing football in the park when a well-known UFC champion came over and beat him up for no reason.
I assume that a more realistic report might be that two adults were involved in a football game, something happened that annoyed one or the other and which led to an argument. The outcome of which is that one of the adults (a little-known semi pro fighter with an average record) made a very bad decision and hit the other one. If that had been the end of it we wouldn't be reading this or hearing about it, but unfortnuately hitting someone in anger can lead to very serious and life changing results for both parties involved, and has in this case.
The problem is that it is not the place of other fighters, or indeed promoters, to comment on what is obviously a serious and ongoing legal matter, which is why you won't get a lot of feedback on here from such people.

Fluxbox is soooo much lighter on resources then KDE especially on some older machines I've got. I've relegated those boxes to CLI only but it would be nice to have a GUI for some things.

Beaver Baseball makes return trip to the desert
Game 5: Oregon State (4-0) vs. Nebraska (2-2)
February 21, 2014 | 12 p.m. PT
Surprise, Ariz. | Surprise Stadium
Probable Starters: RHP Andrew Moore (0-0, 1.50) vs. RHP Christian DeLeon (0-0, 6.23)
The Game
Oregon State opens its return trip with a noon PT (1 p.m. local time) game against Nebraska at Surprise Stadium on Friday. It is the second matchup of the season between the teams.
Last Game
Michael Conforto drove in three runs and Jake Thompson tossed seven scoreless innings as the Beavers completed their trip to Tempe with a 7-0 victory over Pacific on Monday. Conforto singled, walked and tripled in the win while Jeff Hendrix also drove in two in OSU's five-run seventh inning. Thompson retired 10 of his last 11 batters and totaled three strikeouts with three hits allowed.
Conforto's Big Weekend
Michael Conforto claimed Pac-12 Player of the Week honors after clubbing 11 RBI over the four games. Although, Monday's effort against UOP didn't count toward his nomination, and in fact will be good for next week. Regardless, he finished the weekend with seven hits, six walks, two doubles, a triple and 11 RBI. He leads the Pac-12 with 11 RBI, followed closely by teammate Dylan Davis, who has seven.
Starts Keep Coming
A recipie for the Beavers' success in 2013 was the starting staff's ability to go deep into games. 2014 has been no different as the team's four starters in Tempe all went at least six innings and each tallied a quality start. They combined to throw 27 innings and ammass a 1.67 earned run average. They also helped toss the team's first shutout of the season.
Hendrix Note
Jeff Hendrix has led off in three of the four games thus far, and already has six runs batted in via three multi-RBI efforts. Perhaps as importantly, he has gotten on base at a .733 clip via five hits, four walks and two hit by pitches. That's set the table for Michael Conforto and Dylan Davis, who, as mentioned before, are Nos. 1 and 2 in the Pac-12.
Walks Could Be Key
It's obvious the Beavers are more than happy to take free passes this season. They collected 34 over the first four games, and lead the Pac-12 by 12 over No. 2 Arizona State. Four of the top five individual leaders in walks are Beavers, including league leaders Michael Conforto and Logan Ice, who each had six.
• OSU's pitching staff is second in the Pac-12 with just seven walks issued.
• Trever Morrison comes into the weekend on a four-game hit streak after collecting one hit in each game in Tempe.
• Sunday's game against Indiana has been moved to a 10 a.m. PT start. That's 11 a.m. in Arizona.
• OSU is 1-0 when trailing after six innings.

Children are amazingly resilient and can make great progress toward positive mental health.

Government Shutdown: No End in Sight
(NEWSER) – It's Day 2 of the government shutdown and it's starting to look like this could go on for a while. In contrast to other budget showdowns of recent years, there have been no serious negotiations between President Obama and John Boehner—and no sign that Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell will come in from the sidelines with a deal to get the government running, the Washington Postreports. Instead, the GOP is left to deal with Harry Reid, who has made it clear he is unwilling to budge.
- House Republicans moved to pass bills funding the government one agency at a time, but that strategy was shot down by Democratic opposition, and the White House promised to veto any bill that didn't resolve the whole shutdown. "These piecemeal efforts are not serious, and they are no way to run a government," a spokeswoman said. "If House Republicans are legitimately concerned about the impacts of a shutdown ... they should do their job and pass a clean CR to reopen the government."

The 4th annual show is set for the ExCel London exhibition and conference center here from Jan. 22 through 24.
According to organizer Karen Cooke, EAG International Expo will deliver the best possible start to the 2013 season: "The previous event attracted more than five thousand visitors from 61 countries and its popularity continues to grow.
"We've just redesigned our website to help exhibitors, trade associations and visitors access information about the show and to make the most of this exciting event. We've also deployed significant resources to ensure that the online registration process is as straightforward and as quick as possible," revealed Cooke.
Those registering early online for EAG International 2013 will benefit from a speedy entrance into the exhibition; particularly important on the first day. They will subsequently receive additional information bulletins about special offers and events in the run up to the show. Information gathered during the registration process also helps organisers to tailor facilities and events to enhance the overall visitor experience.
Karen Cooke sees online registration as an important first step in the EAG International Expo 2013 visitor experience: "Early online registration benefits both visitors and organizers. As host city for the 2012 Olympics, the world's focus has been on London and the Docklands and Olympic Village area in particular. The investment in shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities has made this part of London extremely popular. We would advise visitors to register early and to plan and book their travel and accommodation at the same time. Our website has excellent links which will simplify this process. It's important to us that a visit to EAG International Expo is as productive and stress-free as possible and early online registration plays an important part in this," she explained.
Online registration takes place at eagexpo.com

ARLINGTON — David Choi has been named the new head coach of the Lakewood boys basketball team, replacing Matt Hart, who resigned following the 2012-13 season.
It is the first head coaching job for the 23-year-old Choi, who spent five years as an assistant coach at Sehome High School while attending Western Washington University. He served as an assistant coach for Thomas Jefferson High School last season.
"David came across as a young man with a lot of passion and energy for the game of basketball," Lakewood athletic director Matt Blair said. "He's super-organized, he's cutting-edge in terms of technology and the game. He's coming in with a pedigree from some good programs. He's spent time around good basketball programs and people that gave him pretty strong references about his character, his work ethic and his love and passion for the game." Choi graduated from Decatur High School in Federal Way in 2007, just six years later he has his first varsity head coaching job.
"It's a real honor to get a job at such a young age," Choi said.
Now that Choi has the job, he has already started making goals for the future. First and foremost, he would like to turn the Cougars into a perennial Cascade Conference power. Choi said Hart did a good job of establishing the foundation of the program and now he wants to take it to the next level.
"I was looking up at the banners on the wall at the Lakewood gym and we are the only sport, boys and girls, with no championship banners," Choi said. "That's just crazy to me. I come from Decatur where we're really good at basketball and Sehome where we were really good at basketball and (Thomas Jefferson) we made regionals this year. Its new to me, but I feel like I have a bunch of kids that are capable of winning."
Choi currently teaches at Todd Beamer High School in Federal Way, but said he will be moving north before the start of the 2013-14 school year.

I have applied for compensation for Vertigo and Labyrinthitis with hearing loss and Tinnitus as secondary. These claims have been conceded as due to acoustic trauma and illness while in the military as noted in the C&P exam results in which I obtained a copy of from the V.A. regional office.
My question is: would the rater look at these results and rate them separately or combined them under Meniere's syndrome, since hearing impairment, Vertigo, Labyrinthitis and Tinnitus are the main ingredients (if you will) for Meniere's syndrome, even though I did not put in a claim for Meniere's syndrome?

The Atlantic Navigator was on dry dock in Harbour Grace when it went up in flames Jan. 12.
©Photo by Melissa Jenkins
It's an ongoing battle in Harbour Grace tonight (Jan. 12-13), as the Carbonear and Harbour Grace fire departments are busy battling a blaze at the Harbour Grace Wharf, directly across from the Harbour Grace Motel.
The Atlantic Navigator – a 65-foot fishing vessel operated by Quinlan Brothers – was at Atlantic Enterprises (formerly Dawe`s Welding and sons) dry dock for several weeks getting work done. It had just received a new paint job and was expected to be released to the owner this coming Tuesday, said RCMP officers on scene. It is unknown at this time if there was any other work done on the vessel, but officers said there was no one on it when the fire broke out.
When fire crews from the Harbour Grace Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived on scene at 9:30 p.m., the boat was engulfed in flames. Carbonear Volunteer Fire Department was also on hand, bringing with it the regions aerial truck.
Some 30-plus firefighters orchestrated a plan to keep other vessels nearby out of harm's way. While several firefighters fought the blaze, others doused the neighbouring boats to help prevent the spread of the fire. A continuous stream of water from a nearby hydrant was also sprayed from a long hose to the top of the aerial ladder.
Harbour Grace Fire Chief Ray Verge confirmed by 11 p.m. the exterior of the boat was no longer on fire, but the interior was.
A serious concern, Verge said, was the risk of the boat tipping toward the north onto other vessels because of the large amount of water pooled inside the bottom of the hull. Firefighters – in the midst of fighting the fire – worked to jack-up the boat so it would tip south instead. There were no boats to the south of the vessel.
Firefighters were still battling the blaze at midnight.

Post subject: offseason 2013 mock
so I think we have all have turned our attention to next offseason which will be a very interesting one especially with what we end up doing with our free agents, currently we are estimated to have 45-50 mil this offseason. this is my first offseason mock.... please be gentle..
first thing I'd do is find a trade partner and trade soliai his salary next season is 5.7 mil thats way more than i want to pay for a one dimensional player. hoping to get a 3rd-4th plus hes a free agent in 2014
so that give us 50-55 mil est.
so for the free agents:
reggie bush- if i can resign him cheaply, its a done deal but very unlikely let him walk
jake long- tag and trade for a 2nd-3rd round pick just looking for some compensation for a very good tackle because he will comand too much money. also just a thought what if we bounced Jake inside to a G? just curious what yall think.
Brian hartline-resigned
anthony fasano- walking papers
matt moore- love to resign him but i dont think he wants to be in miami so he walks
sean smith- resigned, we already traded our other DB we dont need to loose another
randy starks- resigned because we traded soliai
RJ stanford- resigned for depth
chris clemons- i haven't been paying too much attention to him this season so im not sure what to do with him although he has been invisible when I've watched games. so I'll let him walk
as for defensive free agents
CB Talib, NE- i believe that the pats have more pressing issues aka welker,vollmer. the thing with Talib is hes young and could come cheap due to his legal issues 2 years ago, but a lot of bucs say hes a good teammate and from what I've heard from NE hes a quick study.
so our D looks like
nickel back- talib stanford/carroll
now the fun part offense
traded jake long for a 2nd round pick.
let bush walk
let fasano walk
cut ingcognito
we aren't in a win now situation we shouldn't spend too much money in FA save it for our young guys contracts/ FA when we are a couple pieces away from the playoffs.
if Andy Levitre (BUF) - OG some how hits the market id sign him to a 5-6 year deal on the spot, hes very good at pass blocking and good at run blocking, he's able to slide out to the T in pinches as he has for the bills. but I doubt that he makes to the open market.
if not leveitre we sign brandon moore G NYJ- hes 33 year old G, but a bridge player until we have a young guy to take over for him.
dustin keller NYJ- we kill two birds with one stone, one we get athletic TE that catches well, and two our D doesn't have to face him lol
now the draft
1. justin hunter wr, Tennessee- waste no time at all this is a must, defenses have figured out with our wr's we can only do short routes with hunter they should back up and open the underneath routes
2 .Oday Aboushi, OT, Virginia- gotta replace Long so we take Oday a very good pass blocker and has improved his run blocking this season.
2.Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina- our G's have been horrid this season as neither fit the zone blocking scheme, cooper has been talked about best use in a ZBS
2. Omoregie Uzzi, G, Georgia Tech- both G's were horrid, Uzzi has been labeled as a perfect G for the ZBS because of his mobility
3. Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama- i don't trust daniel thomas, and i havent seen a good enough sample size of miller.
3.Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington- first defensive pick- a pick to push talib if not take the job
3. Tevin Reese, WR, Baylor- need wr's to run our offense effectively and speed.
4. James Gayle*, DE, Virginia Tech- need more athleticism on our d-line
5. Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State- broke his leg last season thats why he fell so far but hes a ball hawk and its what this defence needs
6. Caleb Sturgis, K, Florida- I've seen enough from the hippie
7.Alex Carder, QB, Western Michigan-developmental qb
also this is my first time making a full mock draft please let me know if the players i selected are off/ way off, I based this of Walters football projections as im not a big college ball watcher.

RB: Miller, Thomas,

I think some of that above ^^^ is wishful thinking, but if everything actually worked out like that, I wouldn't complain.
Here's my scenario, as real or pie-in-the-sky as it looks:
Don't resign:
Andre Smith (RT)
Mike Wallace
other cheap parts for depth
Try Jonathan Martin at LT.
1. Bjoern Werner, DE, FSU
2. Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
2. Joe Fuoria, TE, UCLA
3. C. Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
3. O. Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech
That's a little taste of what I'd like.

No one is going to pay the salary for Long and give up a 2nd and 3rd
Love the Keller pick up.
If we traded Davis because of attitude theres no way we bring in Talib. Hope we do though
We also need to pick up Pass Rush. Plus you took away our tank in the middle to stop the run.
If it all happened I wouldn't be upset because there are some nice pieces.
and I do think there are some nice prospects for the OL to work with.

i was looking to get either a 2nd or 3rd round pick in exchange for long
the team that traded for long only gave up a 2nd
the extra third came from trading soliai
from what i understand they traded Davis because he was overweight and out of shape for the second straight season. i could be wrong tough but thats what i heard. also Talib according to his teammates in bucs land said hes never had issues with his teammates. i could be wrong or maybe i missed something.
as far as our tank is he really worth almost 6 mil to be just a run stuffer? personally I don't. I think we downgrade in defending the run a little not by too much though but we upgrade in pass rush ability, for the most part soliai on pass plays we were play 10 vs 11 players because soliai has no pass rush ability. with the very few snaps ive seen of vernon (including special teams plays) he has a nice jump off the ball and i think he'd compliment wake well.
