The Spina Bifida Association website claims spina bifida affects about 165,000 Americans and is the nation's most common permanently disabling birth defect. It occurs when a child's spine doesn't close during the first months of pregnancy. People with spina bifida usually require a brain shunt to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid.

The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
Things didn't go to plan on the night for Andrew, but he put up a great fight. You will be seeing him again on Bellator although it won't be next month on the FW Tourney. It will give Andrew some time with his family as he's been out in Arizona at the MMA Lab (training with Benson Henderson, Efrain Escudero and Jamie Varner) for over a month. Props to Andrew he works so hard and is totally committed to his MMA career. Great things will happen for Andrew I just know it !!
MMA Manager
Promoters contact me for fighters
Fighters let me know if you're interested in joining the team
Got loads more to see from fisher , can't wait for his next bellator match up
I like Fisher as a fighter but didn't think he was able to boss the fight at any point. Thought when he got the takedown early that he would have been able to take the fight down a bit easier but he wasn't and he wasnt able to use his reach to any advantage
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
I fought the complete wrong game plan and I've learned my lesson from it.
Great at see fisher on a big show great lad and a very gd fighter
All the best in ya next fight bud

Artist's Alley Rules
1. Sales: Artist Alley is a place for artists (and other creative individuals) to promote and sell their work. Therefore anything sold at the table must be a product of your own creative work (or a team member, if you work with others).
2. Space Management and Safety: Do not place items in the walkways in front of or behind your table space. Space allowed behind tables is sufficient for backdrops, etc. without interfering in the walkways. As the space behind your tables is designated for backdrops and your supply space having people sitting in the walkway behind your tables interferes with traffic of other artists who are trying to move out of their tables to go to the bathroom or eat. This goes back to being courteous to your neighbors. You are not allowed to have people sitting behind your table, blocking exits. Punishment for using space, any space whether it is behind, next to, in front of your table or on the opposite side of the artist alley can include but are not limited to: You being asked to leave the alley, Not being allowed back the following year, or removal of offenders' badge.
3. Access: Access to the Alley outside of business hours is restricted to selected Anime Central staff and individuals wearing special Exhibitor /Artist badges. Access is only allowed during the special times laid out on the schedule any other time you will not be allowed in, there will be no exceptions. I.E. If you forget something in the Alley you will not be allowed back into the hall.
4. Badge: No individual will be allowed to sell merchandise without an exhibitor or artist badge. The only valid place of business during Anime Central is the contracted space(s) inside the Exhibit Hall. If you are found selling merchandise outside the Exhibit Hall without the express, written consent of MAPS, you risk being declared in breach of contract. This will result in removal of all table privileges and removal from the convention.
5. Space is assigned: Please do not move tables without the permission and aid of the Artist Alley staff. The configuration is designed for accessibility, safety and good flow of traffic. If a table needs to be moved for purposes of unloading, display set-up, etc, please inform a staff member before the convention. We will attempt to honor all reasonable requests.
6. Attendance: Please plan to be in attendance at your table for a reasonable amount of time. If you do not claim the space by 9:00 am Friday, and have not made contact with the Artist's Alley DH to make other arrangements, we will release your space for at-con rental.
7. Refund Policy: If you register for a table and pay but find you cannot make it these are important dates for you. To receive a full refund you must place a formal request by February 28th, 2009. After February 28th, 2009 you will have a period of time between then and April 4th, 2009 where you can receive a half refund. After April 4th, 2009 no refunds will be issued. The refund only applies to Artist Alley Tables, Art Show Flats or Tables, and power drops, not to badges.
8. Staff Requests: Please follow all requests of con staff. Failure to do so may cause the loss of your table without refund. If there is a dispute with a staff request or you feel the need to have something explained further, please see Phillip Schmidt (Artist Alley/Show DH), Rachel Scherer (Artist Alley ADH), or Kellie Pietscher (Art Show ADH) and they will try to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible.
9. Loss/Damage: MAPS cannot be held responsible for loss or damages to your property while at the con. Please keep an eye on your belongings, merchandise and supplies. Be community minded and report any suspicious activity to the staff. Please do not attempt to detain shoplifter's yourself-call out to staff; we have people trained to handle it. You also need to report individuals who are taking photos of your art that you have not authorized to do so, as you see fit. We will endeavor to put a stop to such actions.
10. Breaks: You are allowed to leave your tables for breaks. We encourage these breaks to be no longer then 30 minutes, and it is recommended that you remove items of value when you leave. We respectfully suggest that you do not let anyone you don't know handle money at your table in your absence. If you feel you will be gone for more than 30 minutes, either bring along an accomplice or two to watch your space or you must make arrangements with the staff at the alley staff table to sign out for the day. This is to encourage artists to stay in the alley while it is open; an empty alley makes other artists look bad. If you abandon your table for the day, shortly after the alley opens, without signing out, your table may be released to other artists. I.E. if you want to go the masquerade but need to leave early, make arrangements and it'll be fine, but if you show up for maybe two hours out of every day, and someone wants space, you could lose it if you have not made arrangements.
11. Binding Contract: When you contract space and submit your paperwork, you acknowledge that by signing the contract that you agree to the terms contained in it. That includes these terms. Please, read the contract and ask questions regarding anything you don't understand. If you fail to read this contract prior to signing, you risk being declared in breach of contract. Breaking these rules may result in the loss of your space in Artist Alley without refund. Please direct questions or concerns to the Artist Alley DH.
Art show staff reserves the right to refuse to display work that does not comply with our guidelines.
Art Show Submission Guidelines
1. All work displayed must be your own. Traced/copied work will be removed at the discretion of the Art Show DH / ADH. (For example, you may not freehand copy an existing piece of official art to place in the art show, even if you change colors or small details.)
2. All artwork must have an anime/manga/Japanese culture theme or style.
3. Models/sculptures that are free-standing should have good support. These pieces will be placed on available table space. You may also attach some form of hanging device.
4. Flat artwork must be mounted, matted, or framed. This is for the protection of both the art and the Art Show's patrons.
5. All pieces of artwork must be submitted with a control sheet (Template will be provided during the pre-registration process) containing:
6. Due to low submission volumes and the family friendly atmosphere, adult themed works will not be accepted this year. This includes even tasteful nudity. Works such as these should be sold at the artists table with proper ID checks.
7. We reserve the right to move or change the way your artwork is displayed if necessary.
8. No photographs may be taken in the art show except by the artist for the purpose of archiving his or her own work.
9. Please restrict the number of not for sale (NFS) items to five (5). These pieces must be marked clearly as NFS on the bid sheet and by notifying the DH before the convention date for a special not for sale display sheet.
10. The final sale of a piece is at the discretion of the artist. If the artist wishes to cancel the bids and remove their work from the auction they may do so, the Art staff will respect your wishes.
11. Artists may choose to include business cards or contact information with their submissions, or in their art show display space. Inclusion of contact information so that contact may be made for commissioned work is at the sole discretion of the artist.
12. Art Show staff will not give out artist contact information to attendees at the convention, with the exception of explaining to convention-goers where artists are located in Artist's Alley, in order to direct potential sales to the artists.
13. If you are unable to attend the convention you may sell your work by proxy. The agent shares the same responsibilities to hang and pick up the artwork on your behalf. Artists using an agent must include a listing of their work with titles and prices noted and a signed affidavit from you authorizing the agent to handle the work on your behalf.
Art Show Pre-Registration and Check-In Guidelines
1. Submission check-in for pre-registered artists will begin at 6:00 PM-9:00PM on THURSDAY EVENING.
2. Pre-registered spaces (flats and tables) will be set up at Art Show display area. Pre-registered artists may claim their space as they arrive to check in their submissions.
3. Pre-registered flats and tables will be held until 12:00 PM on Friday afternoon, after which unclaimed space will be made available for at-con artist registrations and submissions.
4. Any unreserved space will be made available for At-con artist registrations beginning when Registration opens on Thursday Evening.
5. All artists entering the show must supply Art Show staff with a valid mailing address, email address, and phone number to avoid past problems with payment delivery and disposal of artwork.
Art Sale Options
There are two options for selling your work - Quick Sale and Silent Auction.
1. Silent Auction - Members of the convention will be able to make bids silently on a bid sheet during the convention. A minimum bid will be set by the artist, and the piece cannot go for less than the starting price. The piece will go to the highest bidder unless it is purchased for the quick sale price which nullifies all lower bids.
2. Quick Sale - The piece goes for a set price, determined by the artist. If a bidder is willing to pay that quick sale price, they may claim the piece immediately. Bidders may place bids below, equal to, or above the quick-sale price. A piece with one bid under the quick-sale may still be purchased at the quick-sale price by a second bidder.
NFS - You may also mark your piece NFS - NOT FOR SALE
Selling prints - An artist may sell a single print of a work via the Art Show, as long as it meets the following criteria:
1. The piece is marked as a print with a print number.
2. The original is not hung in lieu of the print being sold.
3. Only one copy of the print is to be hung and sold.
After The Convention: Claiming Unsold Art and Receiving Payment
1. Art Show is not responsible for holding or shipping artwork for purchasers or artists after the convention unless prior arrangements have been made.
2. Art must be picked up during tear-down of Art Show. Patrons will be allowed to pick up from Saturday night until noon on Sunday. If the piece has not been claimed by such time, all bids are null and void, and the artist may reclaim the piece.
3. In the event that an unsold piece of art has not been picked up, and the artist has not made prior arrangements for its shipping, that art will become property of the convention.
Art Show Pre-Registration Procedure
If you wish to pre-register for space, you MUST first fill out the on-line pre-registration form. After filling it out, you will be contacted by the DH or ADH to finalize arrangements. Pre-registering artists will be expected to prepay.
Artist Pickup Sunday
Pickup of unsold works is until 4 pm Sunday. Artwork must be picked up if shipping arrangements have not been made, or it will become the property of the convention. If you wish for the art to be mailed back to you, you must pay postage in advance and make arrangements with the art staff for shipping to be deducted from sales. Return postage may be deducted from total sales if desired.
If artwork has been sold through the Art Show or Auction, an invoice will be issued when you come to pick up your art. You will be asked to sign a log sheet when you pick up your artwork. You will be issued and mailed a check for the total sales, less a 10% commission, after the convention.

Monday Morning Quarterback Divisional Round
The Good
The Bad
Baltimore RavensDenver Broncos
It may have been an inconsistent regular season for Joe Flacco, but he came through in spectacular fashion in the divisional playoffs. The numbers were explosive – he completed 18-of-34 passes for 331 yards and 3 TDs – but it was his ability to come through with the big play that makes this game truly memorable. He threw a 70-yard TD pass to Jacoby Jones in the final 31 seconds that allowed the Ravens to tie the game before winning it in overtime.
A painful end of the year for Peyton Manning, whose interception in overtime gave the Ravens a chance to kick the winning field goal. Manning completed 28-of-43 passes for 290 yards with 3 TDs and 2 interceptions. However, as the game went along, it was obvious Manning had a difficult time putting sufficient velocity on the ball.
San Francisco 49ersGreen Bay Packers
Colin Kaepernick put on a spectacular performance in his first playoff game. Kaepernick completed 17-of-31 passes for 263 yards with 2 TDs and 1 interception, but it was his running that made this game so memorable. Kaepernick ran for 181 yards and 2 TDs and was clearly the reason the Niners outdistanced the 49ers.
Aaron Rodgers was not the best quarterback on the field, and that's why the Packers could not win this game. He threw for 257 yards with two touchdowns, but the only interception he threw helped turn the game in the 49ers' favor.
Atlanta FalconsSeattle Seahawks
Matt Ryan's numbers were not the story in this game. He threw for 250 yards and 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, but it was his two completions in the final 31 seconds of the game that put the Falcons in position to win the game. Ryan earned his first playoff win and a huge burden was lifted. Russell Wilson was spectacular in the second half for the Seahawks, nearly leading them to a remarkable comeback by throwing 2 TD passes and running for another in the second half.
Ryan put the Falcons in jeopardy by throwing two crucial interceptions, but he managed to overcome his errors. Wilson got off to a slow start in the first half and the sack he took on the last play of the first half kept the Seahawks from getting on the board.
New England PatriotsHouston Texans
Tom Brady lived up to his reputation in the only playoff game of the weekend that went according to the script. Brady attacked the Houston defense and threw for 344 yards with 3 touchdowns and he did not thrown an interception.
Matt Schaub threw for 343 yards and 2 TDs as he tried to help the Texans climb back into the game. However, the majority of his production came after the game had reached the desperation phase. At no point did you get the feeling that Schaub could compete on even terms with Brady on the playoff stage.

April 13: 4 p.m. to midnight; wristband night: $25 for unlimited rides; bring four canned food items for $5 off a wristband.
April 14: noon to 1 a.m.; free admission from noon to 2 p.m.
April 15: noon to 8 p.m.; free admission with an alumni membership ID, a recyclable Coca Cola product, a donation of two children's books; last chance wristbands for $15.
Rides, game booths, live music and the smell of roasted corn and corn dogs will fill Rillito Downs once again as Spring Fling brings carnival fun to the Tucson community this week to raise funds and support service projects by University of Arizona student clubs.
Spring Fling will take place April 12-15. General admission and parking are $5. UA students with a CatCard have free admission, as do children younger than 7 and those with a military ID. Admission is free to everyone from noon to 2 p.m. on April 14.
Spring Fling, a UA tradition since 1974, is the most important fundraiser for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and its student clubs.
The event generates between $30,000 and $40,000, which is distributed among the clubs who work to put on the event and volunteer in game or food booths. The clubs in turn redistribute the funds to the greater Tucson community through commitments to service projects such as Ben's Bells and the Ronald McDonald House.
Spring Fling is the largest student-run carnival in the nation. Spring Fling features more than 25 rides and games and more than 20 different food booths ranging from cotton candy to corn dogs and roasted corn hosted by the more than 40 clubs that have booths at the event.
Eight student leaders serve as directors and work throughout the year to coordinate and put on the event, with more than 1,500 student volunteers and the help of UA affiliated staff. Once the event gets started, students work 14-plus hour days until the gates close.
"It is a very rewarding experience, and once we get going, none of us wants to stop," said Ashley Saindon, the Spring Fling media director and a senior general studies major at the UA.
As a freshman, Saindon received a Spring Fling flier and was impressed that the event is entirely run by students, and she became a volunteer. She is representative of the Spring Fling transition training that takes place each year as students mentor and train one another to take on more responsibility and future leadership roles.
This year, Spring Fling will feature entertainment with live performances on the Spring Fling stage. These performances include the Pueblo High School Mariachi; the band 80's and Gentlemen, playing musical favorites from the 1980s; and an a cappella performance from the UA CatCall singers, who sing contemporary and time-honored classics.
Keep up with events on Facebook and Twitter to find promotions such as unlimited rides April 12-13 with the purchase of a wristband for $25 and the donation of four canned food items to benefit the UA4Food drive. April 15 is Family Fun Day, with last-chance wristbands for only $15 and free admission with a donation of two children's books, a UA alumni membership ID or the donation of a recyclable Coke Cola product.
A Spring Fling kickoff event will take place on the UA Mall in front of Old Main on April 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Take part in the fun with a ride on a giant slide, free food, games and giveaways.

Bridges and Roadway Structures
For more information about Seattle Bridges and Roadway Structures, call 206-684-8325.
Below is SDOT's Bridge Sufficiency Rating list from December 2012. As the rating is a comparison between the bridge's condition today and the condition when it was built, it does not have a direct relationship to bridge safety. (For example, potholes on a bridge's driving surface would mean a deduction in the rating but no safety impacts.)
Safety is our number one concern in managing these structures and all of the City of Seattle's bridges are safe for use. The Seattle Department of Transportation would close any bridge if we determined the bridge was not safe.
For more information about the UBIT, contact the division at 206-684-8325.

I am surprised how well Backtrack ran on this outdated tablet convertible. The wireless card went into monitor mode and performed injection without any fuss. The wacom stylus worked from the get-go, before I installed the system. It was much easier to setup than my newer high-end laptop, everything the system needed came on the liveCD...I should mention that I wasn't paying close attention and I installed the 64-bit Backtrack 5 R3 instead of the 32-bit version I had intended to.

USC hazards experts assist state with evacuation survey
Coastal residents are urged to respond to an upcoming mail survey about hurricane evacuation behavior that will help the state better prepare for and respond to hurricanes. University of South Carolina geographers, planners at the S.C. Emergency Management Division and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are conducting the study.
A pre-addressed and stamped return envelope will be included with the questionnaire so residents can return the survey promptly.
Residents in Jasper, Beaufort, Colleton, Charleston, Georgetown and Horry counties will receive the survey by early next week said Dr. Susan Cutter, a geography professor and director of USC's Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute.
"It is critical to understand likely residential behavior in response to a hurricane affecting the South Carolina coast," said Cutter, one of the world's leading scholars on natural and manmade hazards and disasters. "This information is vital to helping local and state emergency managers better plan for evacuations. That includes determining the best location for shelters, ensuring transportation routes can accommodate mass evacuations and re-entry procedures before the next big storm impacts South Carolina."
Cutter said South Carolina has added many residents to its already heavily populated coastal zone since the last Hurricane Evacuation Study was updated in 2000.
She and a team of geographers in the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute, part of USC's College of Arts and Sciences, will compile and analyze the results for officials in local, state and federal emergency-management roles.
"This survey will give us insight on the expected behavior of residents in storm-surge zones. We don't know how much information residents have, whether they know what to do or if they have ever experienced a hurricane before," said Dr. Chris Emrich, a research assistant professor with the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute. "Most surveys don't provide that level of detail. Our survey lets us do that fine-grain analysis."

SAFECO FIELD - Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon didn't temper his words when reflecting on a dismal road trip to Texas and Miami.
"We had a horses--- road trip," McClendon said.
The Mariners went 1-6 on the road trip and have lost eight of their last nine games. The starting rotation has struggled to pitch deep into games. The bullpen has been overtaxed and floundered at times and the offense has sputtered.
Not exactly a recipe for success. McClendon still believes his team will work their way out of it.
"We'll get it back together. This team is going to be fine," McClendon said.
Over the six game losing streak, Seattle starters have worked past the sixth inning just once. Four of the six starts lasted less than five innings with Erasmo Ramirez pitching just two innings against Texas and Chris Young working just three innings in Miami.
Luckily for Seattle, they get Felix Hernandez on the hill Monday night to face off against arguably the worst team in the American League in the Houston Astros.
Hernandez has been stellar in his first four starts of the season. He's 3-0 with a 1.91 ERA and would have been 4-0 if not for a late bullpen collapse against Texas. Hernandez should also take strain off a bullpen that could use a light workload.
McClendon also continues to shake up the lineup in an effort to find some more success offensively.
Dustin Ackley has been moved into the second spot in the order with Brad Miller dropped to ninth. Miller was hitting just .194 while Ackley is batting .279.
"We've been playing with the lineup the last three of four days trying to get a little bit more production," McClendon said. "Hopefully, [Ackley] will give us a spark."
Injury Updates:
Hisashi Iwakuma is scheduled to make a rehab start in Tacoma with the Rainiers on Tuesday. However, the weather doesn't look particularly promising with rain in the forecast. McClendon said there isn't a contingency plan at the moment should the game get rained out.
James Paxton is progressing on his rehab schedule from the strained lat muscle suffered during the opening homestand. McClendon said he's still on schedule to be back pitching in 6-8 weeks from the initial injury. The injury occurred on April 8. The six- to eight-week window would be from May 20-June 3.
McClendon didn't say Paxton would be back in the rotation at that point, but that he should be back pitching.
Taijuan Walker is scheduled to meet with the doctor on Wednesday to determine if he can resume playing catch. McClendon said he's "feeling better." However, Walker is still likely a couple weeks away from heading out on another rehab assignment.

By Michelle Dunlop Herald Writer
New versions of the Boeing Co.'s popular 787 and 777 aircraft should give the jet maker the edge over European rival Airbus for years to come, Boeing officials said Wednesday.
With the mostly composite Dreamliner, "we have retained the lead in innovation" over Airbus, Jim McNerney, Boeing chief executive, said at the company's annual investor conference. The company plans to use technology developed for the 787-8 on the 787-10 and 777X, he said. The company plans to launch both the larger Dreamliner and the updated 777 this year.
McNerney's remarks, with those of other Boeing executives, were webcast from the investor conference on Kiawah Island, not far from Boeing's North Charleston, S.C., location. The webcast began at 4:30 a.m. Pacific time, when many of the company's Puget Sound-area workers were sleeping.
Boeing is trying to put behind it an embarrassing chapter involving battery failures on the 787. On Monday, McNerney flew on United's first 787 passenger flight since the jet was grounded by federal officials in January.
Although the 787's battery system posed a "significant challenge" to Boeing, the Dreamliner program now is "moving in the right direction," Ray Conner, president of Renton-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said at the investor conference.
Boeing has completed 90 percent of the battery-system retrofits on the fleet of 50 787s that had been delivered to customers at the time of the grounding, he said. The remainder should be finished next week.
Conner and McNerney were confident the company will deliver 60 787s as planned in 2013 despite the battery disruption. Boeing recently rolled out the first 787 assembled at a rate of seven jets per month, which includes assembly in Everett and North Charleston. The company plans to reach a pace of 10 787s monthly by year's end. Both McNerney and Conner acknowledged they're considering an even faster production rate but said they haven't made a decision yet.
The 787's battery woes mean Boeing is not as far along on the 787-10 as it would like, Conner said. That larger Dreamliner hits a "sweet spot" in the commercial aircraft market, he said.
Boeing also plans to move ahead with an updated 777. The 777X would provide a 20 percent fuel savings over Boeing's 777-300 Extended Range airplane, Conner said.
The company is likely to introduce first the 777-9X, which seats 400 passengers, followed by the 350-passenger 777-8X, Conner said.
"We feel pretty strongly that we've got a terrific lineup," he said.
Airbus doesn't have an airplane that will compete with the 777X, McNerney said.
Airbus' closest competitor to the new 777-8X would be the A350-1000. Both seat about 350 passengers. Airbus does not have a 400-passenger plane to compete with the 777-9X. The Toulouse, France-based company's biggest airplane is the 525-seat A380.
"We're way ahead of them and it's going to be fun," McNerney said.
Today Boeing builds the 777 exclusively in Everett. As for which assembly site — Everett or North Charleston — will get the bulk of the new aircraft's work, McNerney was coy.
Boeing invested in the North Charleston 787 final assembly line, the first new commercial jet factory established in the country since Everett's, to "have a choice," he said.
"Now that we have internal competition … we're going to get much better deals," he said.

Legally Mandate Wage TransparencyTanya Hernandez in The New York Times, March 31, 2013
Media Source
Tanya Hernández teaches comparative employment discrimination at Fordham University School of Law and is the author of "Racial Subordination in Latin America."
Five decades after the Equal Pay Act of 1963, women continue to be paid less than men even when they have the same college education, area of study and experience. It is thus not irrational to question the adequacy of our current laws to transform the labor market.
Although gender inequality in wage structures is pervasive across all occupational levels, the legal complaints for wage discrimination filed before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission consistently make up only about 1 percent of all discrimination claims filed.
The Paycheck Fairness Act, pending once again in Congress, seeks to reform the deficiencies in the Equal Pay Act in part by abolishing the ability of employers to punish employees who share their salary information with one another. The proposed law would also require employers to prove that pay disparity is related to job performance, allow employees to seek punitive damages for pay discrimination, and establish a grant program for salary negotiation training. Such updates to the Equal Pay Act would certainly make modest improvements in the usefulness of the law. In fact, a few states like California, Colorado, Illinois and Michigan, already prohibit employers from taking action against employees who discuss their wages with others.
But in order to fully address salary parity the law must do more than simply protect maverick employees. In a society that still views the discussion of salary details as taboo and "impolite," women will remain impeded if they try to access concrete salary information. A legal mandate for employer wage transparency is necessary. Publishing an annual list of salary ranges that correspond to relative job positions would more effectively empower the legal system to ferret out wage discrimination. It's certainly helped narrow the gap within the federal government, which offers greater wage transparency than the private sector.
Furthermore, companies with a practice of complete salary transparency have found that rather than create resentment, the practice dispels employees' anxieties and fosters trust and productivity. In short, pursuing equality in the workplace benefits employers and employees alike. Our laws should be reformed to enhance that pursuit rather than hinder it.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah Bible College plans to adopt a new mascot for the athletics program. In celebration of the school's 70th anniversary, students, alumni, faculty, and staff are currently submitting ideas in a contest to determine the new mascot. The contest will end on March 15, public voting will begin on March 23 and end on April 23. Finally, the new mascot will be announced on May 12, 2006.
"It is important to understand that this is a contest to select a mascot, not to replace a mascot," said Athletic Director Lois Vos. "The 'Ambassadors' nickname and biblical metaphor is not a mascot. Multnomah has never had a sports mascot or logo as such, although some have at times thought of 'Ambassadors' as a mascot."
A true mascot for the Athletics department will provide the opportunity for Multnomah's sports teams to wear logos on their uniforms and have a mascot present at games. Multnomah will retain the institutional metaphor "Ambassadors," along with all of its history and biblical application for those associated with Multnomah. Programs such as the Ambassador Yearbook and the Ambassador Choir will still retain the Ambassador title.
The campaign for a new mascot began with research conducted by the athletic department and a contest for all Multnomah students, alumni, faculty, and staff. After several months of contest submissions ending on March 15th, the Athletic Department and the Academic Dean's Council will judge the results. The top 3 to 5 submissions will then be presented to all of the Multnomah community for a vote on March 23-April 23. The top choice will be announced on May 12, 2006.
The Athletics Department hopes to cultivate greater team spirit and support of Multnomah's athletes, while fostering a greater sense of community and unity in the student body and amongst alumni with the naming of a mascot. Vos ads, "As our sports programs continue to play key roles in leadership and spiritual development of our athletes and student supporters, we believe that the adoption of a mascot will prove a valuable encouragement to all."
If you would like more information on the new mascot or the contest, contact the athletics department at 503.251.5395 or email@example.com. Alumni are encouraged to contact the alumni department at 503.251.6460 or email@example.com.

Sen. Orrin Hatch and his Democratic challenger, Scott Howell, will face each other Wednesday in the first of only two scheduled debates between them.
The televised debate is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. on three public broadcasting stations: KBYU Channel 11, KUED Channel 7 and KUEN Channel 9. It will be moderated by David Magleby, founder of Brigham Young University's Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy.
The first debate comes after Howell complained repeatedly that Hatch has been ducking debates, and skipped some early ones where Howell and minor candidates appeared and even debated an empty chair with Hatch's nameplate in front of it.
While Howell is happy to have at least some debates, his campaign has called for more and noted when Hatch first ran for the Senate in 1976 he called for eight debates against then-Sen. Frank Moss, D-Utah, but is granting only two now.
Hatch's campaign said the two debates fit his busy schedule, and that many ways exist to communicate with voters and debates are only one.
A second debate is scheduled for the Doug Wright Show on KSL Radio (AM 1160 and FM 102.7) at 9 a.m. on Oct. 26.
Hatch was also attacked during the GOP primary by Republican rival Dan Liljenquist for avoiding all but one radio debate with him. Hatch won that primary with 66 percent of the vote.

Records from fraternal benefit orders (FBOs) are another resource to add to your genealogy arsenal. Determine whether your ancestor was a member by asking relatives, looking for old membership cards and benefit statements, examining obituaries and cemetery records for an FBO's name, and studying photos and tombstones for insignia.
Research potential societies using city directories, local histories and web searches (search on the city or state, the ethnicity and the word society). Then contact the administrative office to ask about old records. If the organization no longer exists, records may be with regional repositories or historical societies. Run a Google search and consult the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) book Records of Ethnic Fraternal Benefit Associations in the United States: Essays and Inventories (it's at the Family History Library and other major genealogical repositories). You also might check with the IHRC in Minneapolis, which houses an excellent collection of ethnic FBO records.

Sen. Orrin Hatch and Democrat Scott Howell agree on what the major issues are in their race: the value of seniority, Hatch's age, the big special-interest money that is funding Hatch and what it all may say about how well Hatch is able to represent the average Utahn.
They just happen to disagree totally on each point.
Hatch says his seniority will allow him to lead the GOP's fight over the nation's toughest problems by possibly becoming chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Howell says Hatch's 36 years in Washington are far too long, and at age 78 Hatch is also too entrenched in the ways of Washington and change is needed.
Howell says the record $11.7 million that Hatch has spent in the race shows that he's beholden to special interests, and has forgotten who he's there to serve. Hatch says it shows he has a national reputation for getting things done, and people throughout the country want to help him. He adds he knows Utahns well through his long service.
"I like to talk about experience. I have the respect of my colleagues. I will have a position of power where I can get things done for the people of Utah and the nation," Hatch says. "As long as I'm in the Senate, I will work my butt off."
Howell isn't impressed.
"When your heart and soul is bought by someone else, you can't be loyal to the average Utahn," Howell says.
Roots • Both men have been giant killers at times who challenged and beat longtime incumbents. Now, Hatch is the formidable incumbent who Howell is challenging in a rematch of their 2000 U.S. Senate race, when Hatch beat Howell with 66 percent of the vote.
Howell who just retired after 34 years as an IBM executive fell into politics and his first giant-killing encounter when he moved back to Utah after working in Atlanta. He took a young son to kindergarten, and found 32 other kids in the class.
"I asked if they were combining classes that day," he said. The teacher responded that no, classes are large in Utah. He complained to vneighbors that their children were being cheated out of a quality education. "They said why don't you do something about it?"
So he ran for the state Senate against an entrenched incumbent to fight for more school funding.
He knew something about fighting, having been a starting guard in football at Skyline High and Dixie College even though he weighed only 165 pounds. "It was pure determination and attitude," he said. Howell says he used that sort of effort to win the race, then two years later win election as Democratic leader in the Senate a post he held for eight years.
Hatch first ran for the Senate in 1976 as a relative unknown, although he was a successful trial lawyer who had moved from Pennsylvania. "I thought [Democratic Sen.] Frank Moss voted too liberal to represent a state like Utah." The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to run.
He overcame better-known Republicans in the convention and primary with fiery speeches. Then he beat 18-year incumbent Moss by arguing not only that he was too liberal, but that he had been in Washington too long.
Mentors • Howell and Hatch both had some well-known mentors in their youth who convinced them that they could make a difference.
Hatch's family was poor in Pittsburgh and lived in a house that Hatch's father built out of scrap materials. But Pittsburgh Pirates star Vernon Law, a fellow Mormon, often stayed with them in his early career. He took an interest in young Hatch, and often took him along to religious firesides and speeches.
"He made me believe I could be somebody," Hatch says. That became powerful when combined with effects of an early shock in Hatch's life. He remembers a day he heard his mother screaming as she was told his older brother was missing in action (and later found dead) in World War II. Hatch says the shock made a permanent white streak of hair appear overnight when he was 10 years old.
It made him want to live two lives in one. Hatch says ever since he has tried to work twice as hard at anything he does.
Howell was raised in the LDS East Mill Creek 12th Ward where he rubbed shoulders with and was taught by such people as philanthropist O.C. Tanner and food bank founder Lowell Bennion. But he said more influence there came from Gordon B. Hinckley, then an LDS apostle who later would become church president.
"We had a quick relationship and bonding," Howell says, and adds they even talked in Hinckley's backyard about topics including "politics and giving back."
Howell says years later he mentioned to Hinckley that Republicans were courting him to switch parties when he served in the state Senate.
"Without flinching, he said, 'Scott, you will not join that Republican Party. We need good men and women in both parties. It does us no good to align with one political party. You can tell everyone you see that we are not a Republican church,' " Howell says.
Seniority • While their backgrounds make both value public service, the pair now see the value of seniority differently.
Howell recalls the president of his LDS mission imparting an important lesson when Howell questioned why he had been named senior companion to a missionary nearing the end of his service. "He said, Scott, seniority is not about age or time in service. It's about leadership, creativity, innovation."
He remembered that later in life when IBM sent him to manage more senior employees to try to turn around some underperforming units.
"IBM has very little appetite for those who don't perform," he said. So he adds, "I just can't imagine we're going to send back a guy who's been there 36 years" after he "voted to raise the debt ceiling 16 times" while vowing to cut spending and reduce debt.
Howell not only wants to get rid of Hatch, but also some Democratic leadership that he sees as part of the problem including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "Harry Reid has to go. ... When I get back there, we're going to have new leadership."
Meanwhile, Hatch says his long service is finally putting him in a real position of power. He is the GOP leader of the Finance Committee, and could become its chairman if his party wins the majority in the Senate.
"It's the most powerful and influential committee in the Senate," he says. "It often takes years just to get on the committee."
Hatch said the position will give him a chance to play a key role in reforming entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and overhauling health care and the tax code. "About 60 percent of all federal spending goes through that committee."
Big money • Hatch has raised and spent more than $11.7 million on this Senate race, or 48 times what Howell has managed to raise.
"You look at where his funding has come from, and Orrin Hatch is not being run by his constituents. He's being run by big dollars," Howell says. In contrast, tears come to his eyes when he talks about how a disabled man gave him $100 over his objections as he said he wanted someone who would represent him.
"That made me very emotional and made me realize what's going on in America today," he said. "It's eliminated those who want to serve because they don't have rich and powerful friends."
Hatch sees it differently. "Nobody expects me to do their bidding [because of donations]. They know me better than that," he says. "I hate to raise money here [in Utah] because a lot of people pay tithing" and other church contributions, "and I'm real reticent to ask them, but I've had significant support in this election."
Too far right? • Howell contends that Hatch moved far to the right in this election to try to appease tea partyers who helped defeat Sen. Bob Bennett two years ago. He charges that has contributed to gridlock, making Hatch hesitant to work with Democrats because it could upset hard-line conservatives.
"We've got to send people to Washington who value the way we want politics done, and truly that means electing people who are willing to reach across the aisle and always put people first," Howell says. "He sold his soul to that tea party group."
Hatch says his record is plump with bipartisan accomplishments, including working with liberal former Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., to find compromise and pass bills on children's insurance, generic drugs, dietary supplements and even the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Howell, age 59, created a stir in the race with a fundraising letter that suggested Hatch was too old to serve, and could die or become disabled in the next term.
"That's a desperate comment by a desperate campaign," Hatch said. "That's an insult to people who have ability and a lot of years to live." He insists he's in great physical and mental shape, "and I don't know anybody that works as hard as I do."
Hatch has vowed that he will not seek re-election after this term.
Howell said he brought up age because Hatch had attacked Moss back in 1976 over age and his length of service, and had said in writings and speeches through the years that he planned to retire before now.
"I'm not going to be 78 and running for the Senate," Howell vowed. "I'm going to go back for two terms, get in and get out and come back." U.S. Senate race

I have all of them except the wii, but i use my ps3 the most because it's the most convenient for games/movies/web.
I already play crunchyroll on my PS3, just come here with the browser
I would love a CR app for either ps3 or xbox360!

I apologize if repeating, but I did not read all comments. So said those with Xbox 360s may have noticed the Hulu Plus. I happened to notice a great deal of the anime available here also available from Hulu. Mayhap one could hope that there would be a way to carry over a CR membership to be able to view those shows through that medium.

If there is a crunchyroll version for the xbox or PS3, I would probably explode with sheer awesomeness. Xbox though, the PSN isn't quite as popular yet...
psn Is very popular... and I think it would do well. It should be their first move. Though the biggest issue with that is that the network is down atm. If it will take a month or two then definitely go with psn. If its faster go xbox then swing around to psn.

If I can watch CR on my 360 it would be awesome, no need for tv anymore, netflix and cr will be enough lol
Poor PSP, mine has been collecting dust for too long now. XD
Yawn. o_o
Ps3 that's how I watch anime using ps3

I've actually am trying hulu plus right now for free through Xbox Live Gold Membership. They're doing a promotion for a month free. I'll tell you 2 main reasons why that would be a terrible idea.
1) Hulu Plus may have a lot of the older animes that Crunchyroll has, but it doesn't have ALL the new releases that CR has. Also, I'm not sure if you've tried to watch the newer anime on your Xbox, but over half of the new content you have to watch online via your laptop. I tried to watch Naruto Shippuuden, but it wouldn't let me because it was "too new". It's a hit and miss, because even thought Naruto isn't online, One Piece is. CR gives it's paying customers full subbed episodes literally after they're released from Japan; One Piece though viewable through the Xbox has a week delay. Also... write down all the new shows that they're playing this season, and look them up on they're list, over 75% aren't there.
2) Not only does Crunchyroll gives you instant access after Japan's release date, if you pay there are 'NO ADS" what-so-ever. Hulu Plus not only makes you pay for their services, but they also make you watch ads. Short ads yes, but still the same stupid ones every 30 minutes is annoying. I've literally watched the same Audi commercial 30 times the passed 3 days. If you pay for the service on CR, you don't have to watch the annoying adds.
Personally I'd hate for the two companys to attempt a partnership because from a business prospective, anime waters are going to prefer the instant release with no ads than the later postings of Hulu Plus. Hulu Plus would then attempt to dumb down CR system so they wouldn't be over shadowed. And it's too much risk for CR, because their company is nearly perfect in my opinion.

LEVESON - "Tabloids demean women; new watchdog must take complaints from women"
Women's organisations (Eaves, End Violence Against Women Coalition, Equality Now and Object) who gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry in January 2012 have warmly welcomed the 'Leveson Report' today (29 November) and called for all parties to get behind Leveson's model for a new independent regulator.
The women's groups said that Lord Leveson's recommendations "open the door" for government and media regulators to tackle the "endemic sexism" the women's groups found in a recent report, 'Just the Women', on the British press.
Key issues in the report:
- Lord Leveson says there is evidence to show that the "Page 3 tabloid press often failed to show consistent respect for the dignity and equality of women generally, and that there was a tendency to sexualise and demean women", in particular the Sport;
- He agreed with the key recommendation of the women's groups that "what is clearly required is that any such [new] regulator has the power to take complaints from representative women's groups";
- Lord Leveson also said that consideration should be given to Code amendments which would give the new body power to intervene in cases of allegedly discriminatory reporting and reflect the spirit of equalities legislation.
Lord Leveson said that an article highlighted in the women's groups' evidence, 'Bodyguards for Battered Towie Sisters' (The Sun) may well have infringed clause 12 of the Editors Code as currently drafted.
Jacqui Hunt of Equality Now said:
"The Leveson report's acceptance that 'women are reduced to the sum of the their body parts' by virtue of their demeaning and sexualising representation by the Page 3 tabloid press, beyond those who choose to appear in their pages, is underscored in our joint 'Just the Women' report. Such images clearly run contrary to the public interest and we welcome Lord Justice Leveson's proposal that amendments to the Press Code should be considered, which would embody true respect for the equality of all members of society."
Heather Harvey of Eaves said:
"We are very pleased that Leveson has acknowledged the demeaning and sexist treatment of women. The portrayal of women in the press goes to the core of public interest and directly impacts on women's access to justice, women's aspirations and society's expectations of women. We are particularly pleased with the recognition of a need for an independent mechanism and one which can accept complaints from women's groups – we look forward now to the government's response and hope it is as honest about the real state of media sexism."
Anna Van Heeswijk of Object said:
"Lord Leveson has given the green light today to setting up a new press regulatory body equipped to challenge the persistent sexism in our daily press. We hope the government looks carefully at his report and ours, and then ensures that any new regulation enables civil society to challenge the press, and to bring about an end to upskirt photography, Page 3 sexism, and the real harms to women which result."
Holly Dustin of End Violence Against Women said:
"Lord Leveson has opened the door for the government and media regulators to tackle harmful, discriminatory and inaccurate media portrayal of women. This opportunity must not be lost and work to develop the new complaints body and Code must link in with work going on elsewhere in government to tackle sexualisation and violence against women and girls. We applaud Lord Leveson for addressing these issues in his thorough report."
Francine Hoenderkamp of Turn Your Back On Page 3 said:
"It is a victory for women that Lord Justice Leveson has recognised the harmful impact that the Page 3 tabloid press has on women's inequality - of which this overt sexist and misogynistic portrayal of women is perpetuating and fuelling. If the tabloid press insists on continuing to treat women in this way it is up to the government to ensure there is a sufficient regulatory body in place that holds them to account."
The report, entitled 'Just the Women'1, by Eaves, Equality Now, the End Violence Against Women Coalition and Object2, is an evaluation of eleven British national newspapers' content over a two week period in September this year. It examines how crimes of violence against women are reported, how women are portrayed more broadly, and the general visibility of women in public life. The fortnight's study found over 1,300 pieces of editorial and images which illustrated these issues.
The report's key findings are:
- Crimes of violence against women are frequently reported inaccurately and without context, with a tendency to minimise the perpetrator's actions and to blame the victim
- Some tabloids contribute to the sexualisation of girls while purporting to condemn it; sexual abuse of children is sometimes presented in a way that minimises the abuse and is even on occasion titillating
- In many newspapers women are persistently portrayed as sex objects, alongside the mainstreaming and 'normalising' of the sex industry; this is also an area where the line between advertising and editorial is extremely blurred
- Regarding women in public life, younger women are visible but heavily stereotyped and infantilised, while older, disabled and black and minority ethnic women are less visible, and those in public life are often subject to ridicule.
The report refers to examples of poor reporting over the two week period including:
- "Killer Stoke Ace gets life" (Sun) focuses on the loss of a footballer's potential career rather than his extremely violent murder of his 15 year old girlfriend
- "Alex Reid won't face criminal damage charges over his late night arrest"(Mirror) reports humorously on the cage fighter trying to break into his girlfriend's house
- "British business man accused of rape fails in anonymity bid" (Telegraph), lengthy article about the public school education and successful business history of a man accused of rape
- "Soldier stabbed ex-girlfriend to death after he hacked her Facebook account and discovered she'd had an abortion" (Daily Mail)
- "CAVORTING provocatively in a tiny pink swimsuit… little Ocean Orrey struts her stuff in a British beauty pageant – aged just FOUR" (Sun) whilst apparently concerned for her welfare, this report on a toddler beauty pageant portrays a young child as acting in a sexy and knowing way
- "They bang 'em in Bangor...but there's no sex in Essex" (Sport) is a report on a student sex survey, an example of the frequent focus in some newspapers on the sexual conduct of female students; the report uses the language of pornography ("horny young learners") and is accompanied by an image of near naked young woman in a bar. This story was run alongside a separate story about a sexual violence conviction which was minimising of the offence ('Peeping Tom shower perv avoids prison') and alongside explicit sex industry adverts.
- "Pop babe is latest upskirt conquest of papararsey Pete" (Sport) is an example of tabloid newspapers' frequent use of 'upskirt photography' whose captions and accompanying editorial present the images as exciting exactly because the subject is apparently not consenting to the photo being taken.
Reporting on the Cabinet re-shuffle during this period included editorial which was patronising, insulting and humiliating to women including Baroness Warsi and Maria Miller, including reference to women politicians' choice of dress.
The four campaigning women's organisations are calling on the government to examine Lord Justice Leveson's proposals and then to consider instituting a new press regulation regime which:
- Allows third parties to make complaints; and allows for thematic investigations as well as those on individual cases
- Has clear guidance about women's equality in the text of the new code; and has accountable representative(s) of the equality sector as member(s) of the new body
- Makes newspapers' membership of the new body compulsory
- Requires consistency between the broadcast watershed for sexually explicit material and newspapers.
In the longer term, the four women's organisations are also calling for journalists to receive training on issues including sexism and myths and stereotypes about sexual and physical violence; and for the Culture and Media Select Committee, headed by John Whittingdale MP, to hold an inquiry into media sexism.
The new report highlights the fact that the government's strategy on ending violence against women in all its forms, and the work being lead by Number 10 on sexualisation which has included Mothers Union head Reg Bailey leading an inquiry and making recommendations on advertising, internet controls, music videos and video games, are both undermined by persistent media sexism and discrimination of the kind discussed.
1. 'Just the Women' is what Newsnight editor Peter Rippon reportedly wrote in an email to a colleague concerning the lack of other authorities for evidence of Jimmy Savile's abuse.
2. Equality Now is an international human rights organisation working to promote and protect the rights of women and girls around the world. With members in 160 countries we partner with local and grassroots groups to document discrimination and violence against women and mobilise international action to stop these abuses.
The End Violence Against Women Coalition is the UK's largest coalition of organisations working to eradicate violence against women and girls; members include Rape Crisis England and Wales, Refuge, Women's Aid, The Women's Institute, Amnesty International UK and the TUC.
Object is an award-winning human rights organisation which campaigns against the sexual objectification of women in the media and popular culture.

WATCH: Undefeated heavyweight boxer beat The CRAP out of his internet troll
Deontay Wilder is a heavyweight boxer who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. As a professional, he has never been defeated in 31 bouts. He currently holds the WBC title. He weighs 215 pounds. He is 6'7″ tall. A good description of this man would be chiseled.
Some little bald guy named Charlie Zelenoff has allegedly been mouthing off to Wilder and harassing his family by way of YouTube for the last three years. Among other things, the unemployed Zelenoff has bragged about his amazing boxing skills — claiming 29 knockouts which apparently have never happened.
Last week, in a Hollywood boxing gym, Wilder and Zelenoff squared off in a fight — just like at the end of "Rocky III," but in a completely noncompetitive way.

Labyrinth Walk, an 82-by-82 inch
quilt, is one of 28 quilts in Denise's Stewart's exhibit
in the Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery.
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- More than two dozen
award-winning quilts by a Southcentral Kentucky resident are on
display through Feb. 28 in the Lindsey Wilson College Lucretia C.
Begley Art Gallery.
A total of 28 quilts by Adair County resident Denise Stewart
of Dunnville are on display in the liberal arts college's art
Stewart's quilts have won scores of awards in county and state fair
competitions. Her most recent quilt,
Columbia, won best of show in the 2012 Kentucky
Bluegrass Quilt Show.
Stewart belongs to local quilting guilds, and she has been
involved with Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society and Kentucky
Extension Homemakers association since she moved to Kentucky in
Stewart began quilting in 1986, and she has taught quilting classes
since 1989. She teaches regularly at local quilting venues,
including Runaway Quilters Retreat near Owensboro, Ky., and Jabez
Quilt Seminar near Jabez, Ky., on Lake Cumberland.
"One thing that strikes me about her work is the skill and the
craft about how they are made -- there is no doubt that these are
quality produced," said LWC Professor of Art Tim Smith, who is curator of the Begley
Gallery. "The colors and patterns break away from the traditions of
quilting. Her personality and ideas comes through the
quilting. We are really fortunate to have an opportunity to show
her work."
"Quilts," by Denise Stewart, will be on display through Feb. 28
in the Lindsey Wilson College Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery in the
W.W. Slider Humanities Center, 155 Blue Raider Drive. Gallery hours
are 8 a.m.-4 p.m. CT Monday-Friday and by special appointment. For

LONG BEACH — The area around Eighth Street and Magnolia Avenue was locked down Monday night as SWAT searched for a suspect who police were chasing and shot at a few hours earlier, a police spokesman said.
The incident began about 6:35 p.m. when Long Beach police officers were near the intersection north of downtown and started running after a suspect, said Sgt. Aaron Eaton, a spokesman with the Long Beach Police Department.
Eaton didn't say why officers were in the area or what started the foot pursuit.
At some point while the officers were chasing the suspect, one of the officers fired at the suspect, said Eaton, who didn't know if the suspect fired any shots or was injured in the shooting.
No officers were injured in the shooting, Eaton said.
A short time later, the area was locked down and SWAT was called to search the area, Eaton said.
The investigation was continuing around 8:30 p.m.

Saint Clair Estate Wines is owned by Neal and Judy Ibbotson, pioneers of viticulture in Marlborough since 1978. Grapes were originally supplied to local wine companies; however, a desire to extend the quality achieved in the vineyard through to the finished wine led to the establishment of Saint Clair Estate Wines.
Saint Clair Estate Wine's success is founded on the 27 years of extensive pioneering viticulture, ongoing as a critical part of the highest quality winemaking practices. Neal and Judy's passion for their Marlborough vineyards and award-winning range of wines is continuing to build their growing reputation in New Zealand and in the 35 markets around the world to which they export.
The company's mission is to create world-class wines that exceed their customers' every expectation. To achieve this, Neal Ibbotson's viticultural expertise and Marlborough's unique climate and soils are combined with the proven experience of one of New Zealand's leading winemaking teams, led by Saint Clair's chief winemaker, Matt Thomson.

About MarlboroughView a map of Marlborough wineries (mahrl-bore-oh)
Sitting pretty on the northern tip of New Zealand's south island, Marlborough has become synonymous with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. As well it should be – Marlborough is the primary region for those delicious, citrusy, summer-lovin' wines with vibrant acidity and pungent, grassy, grapefruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc is the main grape here; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling are also made.

Step 1: Project overview
If you have empty space above your kitchen cabinets, you already know how difficult it is to keep it clean. And if you've ever tried to display anything above them, you also know the surface isn't flat, so objects sink out of view. Why not solve both problems with an attractive display shelf you can easily build in a day?
This project only requires basic carpentry tools and skills. Even the miter joints can be cut with a simple handsaw miter box. We used an 18-gauge finish nailer to make the job go faster, but you can just as easily predrill and hand-nail. And don't worry about trying to match your cabinet's finish or wood type. The shelf will look great if you paint it to match another accent color in the room.
Figure A: Shelf details
Cutting List
Key Description
A 3/4" x 1-1/4" board cut 1-1/2" shorter than the cabinet face width
B 3/4" x 1-1/4" board cut the same as cabinet depth
C 3/4" plywood cut 3" longer than the cabinet face width and 1-1/2" deeper than the cabinet depth
D 1/4" x 3/4" molding cut and mitered to cover exposed plywood
E Filler piece to fill void between the face frame and the wall
F 2-1/4" crown molding cut and mitered to fit over cabinet face and under shelf
Step 2: Get what you need at the lumberyard
The best material for the main shelf is 3/4-in. plywood (Photo 4). Get a finished grade that is smooth and easy to sand. The cleats under the shelf (Photo 2) are fillers to elevate the shelf just enough so the crown molding fits under the shelf and yet comfortably clears the doors below. We had about 1 in. of space above the doors, so we needed cleats that were 1-1/4 in. high. If you don't have access to a table saw, you can carefully cut them with your circular saw and an edge guide. Besides the 2-1/4-in. crown molding, you'll need trim to cover the edge of the plywood (Photo 6) for a finished look. You can use "screen" molding or "parting stop" or just rip a strip from a wider board to 1/4 in. or thicker. Just follow the photos for details about sizing and fitting the pieces.
Step 3: Paint your molding to match
Finish up by filling your nail holes and sanding the wood with 150-grit sandpaper. Prime the wood and then select a satin or gloss paint finish that'll be easy to wipe clean. Because it's difficult to get an exact cabinet color match for natural wood cabinets, simply pick a color that will accent your kitchen countertops or cabinets.

Nebraska Head Coach Bill Straub was excited, as the Huskers earned their 10th consecutive bid to the NCAA Championship. The Huskers have won three NCAA titles (2004, 2005, 2009) since the NCAA sponsored a championship in 2004.
"We are tremendously grateful for the NCAA committee in selecting us to compete for the national championship. We are going to try and do our best while in Canton." Straub said.
Other NCAA qualifiers include Central Missouri, Maryland-Eastern Shore, Arkansas State, Vanderbilt, Sam Houston State, Wisconsin-Whitewater and Fairleigh Dickenson. Maryland-Eastern Shore is the two-time defending NCAA champion.
Competition begins with qualifying rounds on Thursday, April 11, in which each team bowls one five-person regular team game against each of the other seven teams participating in the championship for a total of seven games.
Bracket play begins Friday morning, as teams will be seeded based on Thursday's record during team qualifying. Teams will then compete in best-of-seven-games Baker matches in a double-elimination tournament. In the Baker format, each of the five team members, in order, bowls a complete frame until a complete (10-frame) game is bowled. A Baker match tied 3½ games to 3½ games after seven games will be decided by a tiebreaker using the Modified Baker format.
The championship finals will air on ESPNU on Saturday, April 13, at 7 p.m. central. A tape-delay broadcast of the championship finals will air on ESPN on Sunday, April 14, from 1-2:30 p.m. (central).

im no expert, but i did a few experiments on these a few years ago.
hashes are a one way algorithm, ie you can encypt something to a hash, but you can not decrypt a hash into plain text. An example
plaintext - aaaz
hash - 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3
when your bruteforcer eventually gets to aaaz it will compute the hash and see if it matches 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3. This is fairly long process
Rainbow tables bascially compute all the possible hashes for your given charset. For example I have a few rainbow tables which consist of all lowers and upper case letters and i think they takes up roughly 20GB, so chuck numbers in there and your looking at a fair bit of hd space.
I use cain and able with my rainbow tables, im sure you must be able to use JTR too.
There are lots of tutorials of how to create rainbow tables, i think my old computer took like 4 days to create mine!
as for why JTR didnt work im afraid ive never used it
