RecycleMania national competition under way
If you're noticing more of a push to recycle around campus these days, there's a reason.
RecycleMania, the national recycling competition among colleges and universities, kicked off with a recycling fair at the University of South Carolina Wednesday.
"We want to raise awareness among all students of the competition and the importance of recycling," said Christine Burke, RecycleMania student coordinator. "Learn about what can be recycled and then recycle."
Burke, a sophomore cultural anthropology major from Irmo, also encourages students to learn about the different student organizations that focus on sustainability and to attend an event. These include the Green Quad recycling project team, Net Impact and Sage.
More than 379 colleges and universities are participating in the RecycleMania competition, which continues through April 2. An additional 300 colleges are participating in a pre-competition phase with plans to join the competition next year.
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to recycle all cans, bottles, paper and cardboard on campus.
This is the second year USC has participated in the RecycleMania competition. Carolina students established a strong foundation last year and beat rival Clemson University in both the percentage of waste recycled and total pounds of recycled materials collected. USC collected more than 205,227 pounds last year.
Burke says this year's goal is to recycle more, to rise in the standings -- particularly in the "gorilla" category for total pounds of materials recycled -- and to beat Clemson again.
Margaret Bounds, coordinator for environmental sustainability in USC Housing, works with the students to coordinate the RecycleMania campaign. She says additional events will include a student Recycle Olympics from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, on Davis Field, and a "Clean Out Your Office" day for faculty and staff that will take place during spring break.

mercury alert!
Hi there!
The last time I was at the salon for some foot pampering, I was reading a magazine.And...
I have read a 1 paragraph article from a magazine, if you are trying to get pregnant you need to avoid shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish, because they have a high levels of mercury. It just said that mercury can harm the developing nervous system of a fetus. I know of mercury, as the liquid metal inside the old-fashioned thermometer, and it is harmful to the health when exposed or ingested.
Let's say you are in a restaurant, how can you say that you have an enough amount of mercury when you are eating seafood (with high-level of mercury)? And how can mercury be harmful to pregnant women?Please explain.
Thank in advance.

It is best to avoid high mercury selections like swordfish, shark, lobster and King Mackrel when eating during pregnancy. When these foods are eaten in excess, the mercury can cross the placenta and affect the baby's neurological development. Many cite an increase in mercury, which is a neurotoxin, in our environment and foods as the cause for the current autism epidemic.
Safer seafood alternatives include shrimp and crab. Tuna can also be eaten in small portions because the amount of mercury is relatively small. If you have already eaten one of the foods on the high list, do not fret, there is a good chance that everything is fine. Just resolve to avoid those foods from here forward.

If you're avoiding the high mercury foods at home, it probably won't be a problem to have one serving at a restaurant during your pregnancy. Here's a good article on this site called "Eating Fish During Pregnancy".
I'd also highly recommend that you avoid high mercury food while you are breast feeding (because, again, the mercury will enter your baby from your milk), AND for 4 months before you try to conceive. What you put into your body for the 4 months before conception affects the quality of your eggs and your husband's sperm. The quality of the egg and sperm determine to a great degree, the health of the child.
And if you truly want to avoid high mercury fish at a restaurant, just avoid eating fish altogether when you eat out. Choose something else for your protein.
Warm Regards,

You can't let sleeping fawns lie
It was chilly at six o'clock Monday morning, so the gravel between the WES Commuter tracks at the rail facility in Wilsonville were probably warm and comfortable for a fawn that laid down to take a nap.
But being on train tracks can be hazardous to a fawn's health. so, maintenance technician Ed Whitaker moved in, wrapped the sleeping deer in a blanket and carried it off the tracks. That's when the Bambi woke up, jumped from its rescuers arms and scampered through a fence and trotted to meet mom in a nearby field.
You can see a video of the fawn rescue at 1190 kex dot com.

LONG BEACH - Long Beach's education leaders breathed a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday following the passage of Proposition 30, which officials said will provide millions of dollars in funding for local schools.
Gov. Jerry Brown's tax measure won with 53.9 percent of the vote following a close race in which the measure trailed for most of election night.
"Today is a very good day," said Long Beach Unified School District Superintendent Chris Steinhauser. "It's a good day because our kids are no longer going to face the real strong possibility of 20 fewer days of school."
Officials said the passage of Prop. 30 will prevent further deep cuts to education, but the temporary tax measure is by no means a "fix-all" after years of state funding reductions.
"This isn't going to solve all of our problems. We'll still have to cut no matter what," Steinhauser said. "But what Prop. 30 has done for us is stop the massive bleeding. We still have to address our lack of resources, but now we have a reasonable time to do it in."
The state's third-largest school district has laid off more than 1,000 employees and slashed its budget by $300 million since 2008 in an effort to remain fiscally stable.
Anticipating an additional $35 million loss in funding if Prop. 30 failed, LBUSD was considering shortening the school year, closing schools and eliminating programs such as sports, music and art.
Even with the good news, the school district still faces a $20 million deficit, Steinhauser said, adding that the budget will be tight but manageable.
The district is considering closing small schools, freezing vacant positions and making small reductions to programs to fill its $20 million budget hole.
"It will be tight, but what you're not gonna see are massive cuts," Steinhauser said.
He said the district could begin restoring programs and positions within the next two years if the economy continues to recover.
The passage of Prop. 30 will also help stabilize funding and mitigate cuts at Long Beach City College.
The college was anticipating an $8.4 million loss in funding but is now working with a $2 million deficit, said LBCC President Eloy Oakley.
"It may not solve all of the problems we have today, but at least it gives us more certainty and allows funding to go into our public education system while we wait for our economy to really turn around," he said. "It's the right step forward to increase revenue and bringing our community colleges back to where they were."
The college still plans to discontinue about a dozen courses next year. Currently, 17 courses face the chopping block, including auto mechanics, film, health and human services, photography, and radio/TV.
Oakley said the college was considering cutting all 17 programs in the event that Prop. 30 failed.
"Fortunately, we will not have to cut all of those programs," he said.
Some students in the Cal State University system will see reimbursement checks for the fall semester, thanks to Prop. 30.
Following the measure passage, the Cal State University system now plans to rescind a $249 per semester tuition increase already in place and will maintain enrollment numbers for next fall.
In a letter to Cal State Long Beach students, faculty and staff, President F. King Alexander said Prop. 30 is a sign that Californians have made education a priority.
The measure, however, doesn't address the long-term impacts of severe budget cuts in recent years, he said.
The 23-campus CSU has seen a nearly $1 billion reduction in state funding in recent years. The CSU had planned to raise tuition an additional $150 next semester and cut enrollment for thousands of prospective students in the anticipation of a $250 million "trigger cut" in funding.
Annual tuition for full-time undergraduates will now revert back to $5,472 - the same rate as in the 2011-2012 academic year.
Alexander said he hopes to see an increase in funding in the state's next budget cycle.
"(The) passage of Proposition 30 indicates that the people of California have spoken and agree that the public education system is underfunded," Alexander wrote. "Prop. 30 is an important "first step" toward adequate funding for the children and students of California and perhaps is an indication that public education needs to be a state priority once again."

A critical issue in domestic violence cases is the risk of continued victimization during the pretrial period. Offenders may violate no-contact orders, further injure victims, or intimidate them.
To minimize these risks, the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women and NIJ initiated the Judicial Oversight Demonstration, a field test that asked:
In partnership with a number of court-related partners, judges oversaw all aspects of the case, from hearings to sanctions and treatment programs given to batterers. Courts in three locations — Dorchester, Mass.; Milwaukee, Wisc.; and Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor), Mich. — participated in the field test.
Participating communities worked to achieve three objectives:
NIJ and the Urban Institute collaborated to evaluate how the JOD initiative affected domestic violence investigations at the three demonstration sites.

EL MONTE, CA -- The El Monte City Council has voted unanimously to put a measure on the city ballot that will ask voters to impose a 1¢-per-fl.oz. tax on sugary drinks sold within the city.
City officials estimate the move could generate $3.5 to $7 million in revenue, while benefiting the community from a health and wellness standpoint. El Monte is facing a budget deficit that could negatively impact, among other things, its recreation programs.
Mayor Andre Quintero said El Monte residents are disproportionately feeling the impacts of drinking soda and juices, which he links to heart attacks, strokes and type 2 diabetes.
A report by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy found that 50.2% of El Monte's children have been classified as overweight or obese. The city ranks ninth highest in childhood obesity in the state, where the average is 38%.
CCPHA executive director Harold Goldstein claims sugary drinks are the leading contributors to the obesity epidemic. "One 20-[fl.oz.] soda is equal to 16 teaspoons of sugar," he said. "That's like drinking 22 packets of sugar in one glass. Studies suggest that as much as half of the obesity epidemic has come from consuming sugary drinks -- and that is having a devastating impact on the health of our communities," he said.

Hi all,
I'm a brand new user to Backtrack and have spent my day off trying to learn how to use it, I'm not that good with writing Linux, but i'm slowly getting the idea of it.
My main question is, I have tried working with the VMWare copy and thats been great, however the network settings in that are straight forward as VMware does that for you. I have tried to make a usb boot disk to run on my HP Netbook though, however am having networking issues. I have tried the /etc/init.d/networking start command both at command line and at the console command line of backtrack, but come back with the same error on all interfaces.... for example, wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device....... This is the same on eth2 and ath0.
I have tried to install the Broadcom 802.11 STA Linux drivers from the website, and have tried to follow the instructions the best i could. However have had problems from the first command, I'm presuming this is due to the fact I have it booted off my USB.
I'm not to sure what i should be doing and I have spent a good solid 3 hours trying to do so. So any help would be much appreciated.

Wow... Ummm a pretty bad Colts draft. I'll show my ideal draft.
Round 1- Chance Warmack OG Alabama
Hankins is a decent pick, but I'm not high on him on our team.
Round 3- Sean Porter OLB TA&M
We don't need a tackle. Justice has played very well at RT, Castanzo looks like a franchise LT (most of the time). Really, an OT is a wasted pick.
Round 4- DJ Swearinger S SCAR
Again, just don't need an ILB. We have a guy in Freeman who is playing like a pro bowler and Angerer is always a rock. Them and Connor make a very deep ILB core.
Round 6- Brodrick Brown CB Oklahoma State
Depth and a nickel guy to compete with Cassius Vaughn.
That's my ideal draft.

Great Jags draft though I think Jarvis Jones may play 4-3 OLB for us similar to how Von Miller plays for the Broncos.

They just got Weeden last year. While he hasn't looked promising I think they'll give him at least another year. Looking back I'm not a fan of the pick at all.

Not an excuse or anything but I had a hard time finding any information on New Orleans.

Where's Chris Jones of Bowling Green? A 300 lbs. DT who can rush the passer with 11.5 sacks this year and 16 TFL is gonna be very heavily coveted by NFL teams. He is dominating the MAC. I see no way he gets out of round 2. He is better than Muhammed Wilkerson was and he was a first round pick from the same conference. As a Seahawks fan, I'd love the guy at 5 technique or UT. He's a much better choice for us than Shariff Floyd, who has no pass rush skills. We have enough run stuffers.

1. Geno -- Love it! A real QB! Woohoo!!
2. Eric Reid -- Great pick! We need safety help and we get possibly the best one in the draft. Well done.
3. Shayne Skov -- I am personally a big fan of Skov and we definitely need someone to push Belcher. I think that Skov could be that guy, if nothing else he provides much needed depth. Another good pick.
4. Zac Stacy -- This may be a little high for Stacy and honestly I don't like the selection of a back right here. With Charles tearing it up (when he gets consistent touches) and Draughn looking halfway decent and still the untapped potential in Cyrus Gray I feel like there are more pressing needs for this team. TE (Can Boss recover from another concussion?) WR (If/When Bowe leaves I would look for someone else) OLB (We need depth desperately and more pass rush)
5. Russell Shepard -- I am not very high on Shepard, but I also don't know much of anything about him. Hard to expect too much from a 5th round pick and WR is a need if/when Bowe leaves)
6. Tanner Hawkinson -- Don't know much about Hawkinson and OL depth could always be used however OLB, TE, and honestly maybe even another QB would deserve a look.
7. Sio Moore -- Never heard of him. 7th round flier pick. Too many unknowns.
Overall I could definitely get behind this pick. Well done!!

Site look funky?
Your browser is either Internet Explorer (hit refresh (F5) several times due to a bug in Microsoft's code
that we can't work around) or is 10 years old and
standards-based layouts and styling confuse it.
Consider updating. One excellent option is
Mozilla Firefox, versions of which are available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Safari 1.0+ and IE 6.0+ are also supported.
There's simply no better, more popular resource than the American Whitewater website for
paddling and river stewardship information. This value is reflected in the incredible amount of
usage our site sees with over 800,000 page views a month serving thousands and thousands of river
enthusiasts every day. What's more, all this content is completely free!
Paddlers understand that you cannot love what you don't know. It's our love of
whitewater that makes us fierce defenders of rivers and their flows. This intimate connection to
flowing water has made American Whitewater a force in river stewardship for 60 years. It's
your membership support that allows American Whitewater's staff to work on important
stewardship projects across the country and provide the information in this website.
So, whether you're a first time visitor or a long term user, we ask for your membership

American Whitewater membership starts at just $35 a year (less than $3 a month!).
How to hide this permanently
River Name is the name of the river and the section.
= Notify immediately if running.
= Email notify if running.
= You are in the River Network.
Level gives the most updated gauge tied to a river. See the notes and comments for how to
interpret the reading. Readings may be delayed, come from bad sources, or have other miscalculations.
Additional detail on a gauge can be ascertained by a simple click to the level. Metrics for a given level are:
CFS, Stage (ft), in/hr for rain, and r.c. meaning no direct flow, but 0.0-1.0 is boatable.
The astrix (*) indicates a comment on the flow, plus (+) indicates a good flow,
tilde (~) indicates that this is a stand-in for the real flow, or the flow is delayed, an explination mark (!)
indicates there is a warning associated with the flow.
Relative Level explains how low or high a reach is based on being above or below the
recommended range. This column is used when color is not visible or obvious (mobile phones, or color blind people).
The first letter is L,R, or H for Low, Runnable and High. The second number is 0-9 where 0 is bottom end
and 9 is top end. Therefore, "R0" is low, "R5" is medium, "R9" is upper high.
If you see a river that is "H0" and coming down, maybe it will run tomorrow. Sort the list
by r.c. to find rivers that are in the ideal range in your area.
Trend gives information on how quickly a level is rising or dropping using r1-r2/(t1-t2) using the last readings gathered.
Readings may be spaced hours apart and may miss local spikes. Be careful when using these.
Last updated is specified in days then hours then minutes with "d","h", and "m" suffixing
the respective amount. Use your best judgment on interpreting flow in a stream based
on type, season, and drainage size to see if the flow might still be valid.
Days will be left off for where they do not apply. A leading zero is left on for readability.
= Warning left in last year. Click.
= Visual gauge observation in last 2 days. Click.
= Associated Event. Click.

Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
FOS11 wishes you and your family a healthy 2007. We are excited to bring you another year of programs and information that we believe will benefit you, your families, and honor the memory of those lost on September 11, 2001. We are thankful for the support of our members and your participation. In the next year, we will continue our focus on:
We also remain committed to working towards the implementation of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations as published in 2004. In fact, FOS11 Board Member Carie Lemack testified earlier this month before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. For more information see below in the Issues Update Section.
FOS11 welcomes our two new Board Members, Paul H. Bea, Jr. and David B. Edwards. We look forward to working with them and drawing upon their extensive knowledge and expertise to apply towards FOS11 programming and initiatives. Paul H. Bea Jr. is a government relations advisor specializing in transportation and the maritime sector. In 2006 he formed PHB Public Affairs after serving for over 25 years as Washington Representative of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey in Washington. David B. Edwards is a Carl W. Vogt '58 Professor of Anthropology at Williams College and Director of the Williams Afghan Media Project. Prof. Edwards has been conducting research on and writing about Afghanistan for more than 25 years.
Issues Update
FOS11 Board Member, Carie Lemack testifies before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
As a result, the House of Representatives passed a bill to take measures to further implement the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. This legislation calls for all cargo on passenger planes to be screened within three years; for all US-bound cargo ships to be checked for nuclear weapons before they leave foreign ports; and increases risk-based homeland security funds for cities likely to be terrorist targets. The Senate will introduce and vote on its own legislation to implement outstanding 9/11 Commission recommendations in upcoming weeks.
Ground Zero Update
The USC Law School is conducting a study to determine how the country handled 9/11. In particular, the survey will ask about experiences with the Victim Compensation Fund and the legal system after the losses suffered on September 11, 2001. Your answers will be strictly confidential and your participation can be anonymous, unless you choose to share your email address or phone number. No information that could identify you will ever be published or released to anyone.
The survey can be completed in about 20 minutes, but you may take as long as you like. You may leave most questions blank and return to them later; the only exceptions are a few questions that require an answer so that the computer knows which set of questions to ask you next. You may stop at any time and you may return to complete the survey at a later time if you decide to stop. To do this you will need to set up a username. To participate in the study, click here.

New York State Workers' Compensation Registration Form and Instruction for WTC Rescue, Recovery, and Clean-up Personnel
The law applies to most people who did paid or unpaid rescue, recovery or cleanup work in Lower Manhattan south of Canal or Pike Streets between Sept. 11, 2001 and Sept. 12, 2002. It also applies to rescue, recovery or cleanup workers who worked at the Staten Island landfill, the barge operation between Manhattan and Staten Island or the New York City morgue, and temporary morgues. The only workers who are not covered are those who are not in the workers' compensation system: NYC uniformed services (firefighters, police, sanitation workers), NYC teachers and federal employees. But those workers are eligible if they performed any rescue, recovery or cleanup work off-duty, as a volunteer. The new law also allows anyone who already filed a claim - but was turned down because the claim was filed too late - to re-file. Click here to download the Claim Form and Instructions.

No fist pumping in south jersey. Surf sucks here but some of us either surf this slop or don't surf at all.
Wow, after reading (some) of this thread, I have booked my tickets...I'm leaving Santa Cruz, headed to JerZ for the rest of the season. Should I bring anything other than my gun (board or otherwise)? How else can I deal with the 23 footers and the locals at the same time?
I admit, I didn't read all 22 pages of this thread, but being from MD, growing up going to OC MD my whole life and a little time up in jersey.... Moving to CA and now in the SE, I will say that all BS aside, as far as surfing goes... Jersey is in the Top 3 wave rich areas on the entire east coast... They have a better angle than anyone in the mid-atlantic or NE for hurricane swells... They have decent sand bars for the most part, and pound for pound, there are only 2 other places on the entire eastern seaboard that have more waves... Central FL and OBX.... Jersey comes in 3 for consistency and quality across the board.... OC MD has its days, but Jersey just statistically has a slight upper hand.... And every dog has its day on the east coast, Hilton Head Island included, but if we had half the waves down here that they do in Jersey, I would be pretty stoked... Although was have nice warm water and fun conditions, its tough being a surfer if you live from Southern NC to Central FL.... It may be cold and they have some runoff issues up there, but Jersey on paper and in photographic evidence has a lot to be proud of as far as surfing goes...
And to the original poster, there is a reason that most surf coverage from major swell events happens in 3 states.... NC, FL and NJ... period... there is in fact a reason for that... its not that other places aren't getting waves, its that all the pro surfers, all the pro photogs are watching the same forecasts and looking at the same historical data that we all have access to and it leads them in flocks to those 3 places... When surfline shows up and half of the WQS tour is in your state, surfing your waves, you know that you don't have it too bad.
I can't believe I was so defensive of NJ in this thread. Truth be known, I'm sick of friggin New Jersey. Sorry NJSHREDMACHINE, but I'm 41 and I'm over it.........
NJ is a great place to be young and surf stoked. There's enough waves and the flat spells keep you hungry and fired-up. NJ surf will entertain you for years and years, but as far as myselves, I want something more........
It really is a rare day, happening maybe a handful of times per year when we get solid, groomed waves. So many days - post-low pressure depature - are, let's say, touchy. Dumping closeouts, ducking 12 waves in 36 F water...........I don't know, there's just not many days when it's head high, glassy, well-shaped, and groomed. I need some quality these days. I've been out 4 of the last 5 days and I'm basically on autopilot. Robotic. I go out not because I'm excited about the waves, but rather, "it's what I do." Back in my younger days once I entered the ocean all my land-based concerns disappeared. That doesn't happen anymore.
I'm bored as %$#$. It's just not the waves, but the whole scenery. I want some wildness. Some Pacific Northwest adventure. I'm tired of boardwalks and McMansions. I'm tired of hearing, " HEY YO, JOEY !!!!" I'm tired of the anger. I'm tired of the attitudes. I'm tired of the thugs, the dope and the guns. NJ is a great place to be young and reckless. But those days have passed. Funny, how I used to openly embrace all of these NJ qualities. Funny how times change.
You younger guys and the novices, don't let this message get you down. You're good. You have decades before you'll get jaded. Just remeber variety and MODERATION are big keys to a happy existence.
Yeah, I wish. After years of putting 40,000 miles per year on my vehicles, I rarely get out of Atlantic County these days......much less Iceland. Man, I would love to go to Iceland, permenantly.......they have elves there you know.........they eat pancakes and drink coffee.
Let's see: dirty water, questionable waves, beautiful beach towns like Atlantic City, Seaside Heights summer types..........vs points, moonscape topography, elves, unspoiled wilderness, an intelligent populace, less shady politicians, room to breath, aestethically inspired thoughts.............
Man, what are we doing here?

It's amazing how the installation of Backtrack has evolved, from Backtrack 2 to 4.
We went from typing commands like crazy to just clicking on an install script on Backtrack 4, yet people still complain about the clean install and backups.
Even on broken Windows, we still do clean installs to 7, I did not realize there were people still doing OS upgrades.

U.S. News lauds international business, student-success programs
University of South Carolina students begin classes Thursday (Aug. 20) at an institution that has been cited for innovation in academics, facilities and programs in U.S. News & World Report's 2010 "America's Best Colleges" guide.
The university appeared in a section along with 18 other national universities, including the University of Southern California, identified as having made "the most promising and innovative changes in academics, faculty, students, campus, or facilities." The university ranked No. 11, tied with Clemson University, Rice University and Emory University and ahead of Ohio State University and North Carolina State University.
The citation was one of several accolades for the university included in the annual college guide.
The Darla Moore School of Business' undergraduate program in international business earned the No. 1 ranking for the 13th consecutive year. The school itself, which ranked 42nd for overall business education nationally, was 24th among business schools at public institutions.
U.S. News also ranked the university's First-Year Experience and Learning Communities among the best in the nation in its "Programs to Look For" section. The designation is for schools with outstanding examples of academic programs linked to student success.
University President Harris Pastides said the accolades recognize the successful efforts of faculty and staff to offer students an exceptional educational experience.
"The U.S. News guide comes as colleges and universities throughout the United States are striving to offer the best possible education in a time of declining resources," he said. "These rankings are proof that Carolina students will have a solid foundation for their futures."
The international business ranking follows an announcement earlier this month that the school has raised $44.7 million, exceeding its fundraising goal to match a gift from its benefactor, university alumnus Darla Moore.
"Since its inception, the university's undergraduate program in international business has been a national leader," Pastides said. "Our university friends, alumni, parents and students have supported our business school, and we have worked hard to earn their allegiance."

Before we get to the grid and the questions, let's talk about:
1) All staff and those that were staff at some time in 2012 are excluded from participation.2) Each correct answer to one of the 9 questions is worth 1 point.3) The word we're looking for is worth 10 points4) The winner is the one with the highest score. In case of a draw, the winner will be selected by random draw.5) DO NOT post the solutions here or anywhere in the forums. Send an email (see details below).
The contest is open from right now, and will end on March 11th 24:00 GMT

And now, finally:
THE GRIDClick on image to enlarge (yes it's an image, if you want a real grid you'll have print it out, or make one yourself ).

Awesome. Seems really fun. Good luck to everyone who gives it a go...I certainly am.
"We'll even give you a hint to find that word!"
What's the hint?
Any Hint for The Hint please ? Hahah... really need it
That's part of the fun and challenge.
Two days and three hours left.Come on, keep those answers coming!
TehYoyo, I'm waiting for your mail
Yeah yeah. I know. Truly is a mindbreaker. I think I have 7 or so of them right, but I'm struggling with numbers 6 and 3 (and sort of 4 - I'm in between).
Maybe I'm revealing a hidden message/hint, but are the boxes that are pseudo-blue meant to be pseudo-blue (because they spell something, although I can't, frankly, see how the word could be a hint - more of just a message).
Maybe I'm just getting into it. I just investigated the Illuminati on Wikipedia and got redirected to a conspiracy theorist page...:shifty:
:lol:No, the only colour that means something is the yellow column. Any other (semi/hidden) colours must be the result of my editing the screen shot of the grid.
Sending in my submission now.
Not sure if I got the fifth one right (or any of them LOL), but I sent mine too.
Pretty clever!
The competition is closed.Thanks to all that have participated. The results will be announced soon.

FarmVille, Facebook's most popular game, allows millions to till digital soil and trade products in a virtual market. Now, University of Florida faculty are bringing social networking to real-life agriculture, and they want players.
"Social networking is changing our personal lives and the business world in ways that we could have never predicted a few years ago," said Allen Wysocki, an associate professor of food and resource economics at UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. "It only makes sense to bring that to agriculture."

Lou Reed remembered with music at public memorial
Listen to Lou Reed on iHeartRadio
Lou Reed's music is serving as his eulogy. The rock legend was remembered with a public memorial at New York's Lincoln Center on Thursday.
[PHOTOS: Remembering Lou Reed]
But RollingStone.com says the area wasn't decorated with pictures or banners, and there was nothing to indicate that the event actually was a memorial. Instead, the event delivered what was promised -- three hours of Lou Reed's music without any live performances or speeches. The playlist featured many of Reed's best known songs, including The Velvet Underground classics "Heroin," "Femme Fatale," and "I'm Waiting for the Man," and solo tracks "Sweet Jane," "Dirty Blvd.," and "I Love You, Suzanne." His signature hit, "Walk on the Wild Side," was also part of the mix.
Rolling Stone describes the gathering as "an informal, respectful celebration," and the multi-generational crowd "cheered and applauded after each song." The magazine makes no mention of celebrities in attendance, but says Reed's widow Laurie Anderson was seen at the event.
Lou Reed died of liver disease on October 27th. He was 71.

Why Invest Ethically?
A study by the Institute of Business Ethics in 1998-99 showed that companies committed to ethical conduct had on average 18 per cent higher profits. The stock market treated Ethical Investments with some derision in the 80s, however it has come to recognise the significance such funds can have.
Ethical Investment has its history in the Methodist church in the 1920s who wanted to invest in the stock market but wanted to avoid companies in the alcohol and tobacco industries, the Quakers followed this initiative and weapons manufacturers became the next main group of companies that were avoided. Ever since then, churches have led the way in ethical investments; in recent years, socially responsible investing has become a force for change reflecting social trends in society such as human and animal rights and concern for our environment.
The first ethical trust was launched in 1984 (the Friends Provident Stewardship from Friends Provident a life insurance company set up by the Quakers in the 1830s), by the year 2,000, the ethical investment market in the UK alone had grown to £3.7 billion, Norwich Union research estimated that the size of the market in the USA in the year 2,000 was in the region of $1.185 trillion. In 1991, the UK Social Investment Forum was formed bringing together key figures to advance the agenda of socially responsible investments.
From the 3 July 2000 all occupational pension funds with a "statement of investment principle" were required to publish their approach to "non-financial" factors such as environmental, social and ethical issues. Of the top 500 pension funds, 59 per cent now seek to incorporate socially responsible investment in their strategies.
Ethical investments are also referred to as sustainable long-term investments or Socially Responsible Investments, surprisingly, some of these are not as "green" as others and widely varying ethical principles are used within the field of ethical investments.
The over riding principle is that funds are chosen on the basis that money is invested in companies acting in a socially responsible way; in some respects the distinction is straightforward - ethical funds will not include companies in the armaments, tobacco, pesticides, nuclear, pornography or gambling industries or those who utilise animal testing, have poor health and safety records and those who trade with countries with oppressive regimes. The difficulty arises in cases where for example a company is known to pollute the air, but at the same time are investing heavily in developing ethical sources of power generation; it is exactly this sort of company that can be a powerful force for change in the world, and as such some individuals may seek out such companies.
The principles fund managers usually employ for selecting ethical investments are as follows;
Negative screening - If a company is involved in a series of predetermined, negative activities, they will not be selected. So called "Dark Green" funds employ very strict negative screening.
Positive screening - If a company can meet a number of a list of positive practices, they will be considered.
Thematic investment - Innovative companies representing industries of the future such as renewable energy and waste management, share values may be more volatile in these growth industries, but may yield the highest long term returns.
Best of sector - "Invest in the best, encourage the rest", the Oil industry is considered far from "ethical"; however there are companies funding research and development – these would fall into a best of sector category.
Selecting ethical funds then can be a complicated process requiring extensive research; there are a range of companies who deal purely in socially responsible investments, in addition many Independent Financial Advisers offer specialist advice on the right investments.
Use the search box at the top of the page to find specialist ethical IFAs and Ethical Investment companies in your area.
The Ethical Investment Research Service ("EIRIS") was set up in 1983 with the help of churches and charities; this organisation carries out independent research and publishes useful consumer guides. They do not offer financial advice or investment services but do offer a free information pack, they can be contacted on 0845 6060324.

Sweep avoided, Brewers sink Pirates
MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Pirates ace Francisco Liriano lasted only three innings and the Milwaukee Brewers pounded out a 9-3 victory Wednesday night to delay Pittsburgh from clinching its first winning season since 1992.
Liriano (15-7), who had allowed five earned runs in his previous four starts, was rocked for seven runs on seven hits, with two walks and two costly wild pitches. The Pirates, aiming for their 82nd victory, twice left the bases loaded and stranded 12 runners.
The Brewers tagged Liriano for five runs on five hits in the third inning to open a 7-2 lead.
Peralta (9-14) allowed three runs on nine hits in six innings, striking out six and walking one.
Pirates All-Star Jason Grilli, who had been sidelined with a right forearm strain, pitched the eighth for his first appearance since July 22.
The Brewers are idle Thursday before opening a weekend series with the rival Cubs in Chicago. Game one Friday can be heard in Madison on 1310 WIBA at 12:45pm, with first pitch at 1:20pm from Wrigley Field.

We Developed a Different
Approach to Adult Learning
An interview with Albert Stähli
Founder and Rector of GSBA Zurich
About GSBA
GSBA is the oldest and largest business school in German-speaking Europe. It differs from most of its European peers in that it only offers executive programs. Its students therefore are quite senior and well-placed: Virtually all GSBA MBA students and many of its BBA students are already in middle-management or even senior positions. GSBA has been active in the German-speaking market for 34 years and has some 9,000 alumni and 1,400 executive students.
Could you describe the structure of dual degree MBA program?
The program is very flexible with a modular structure based on learning blocks with a combination of E-learning, on-the-job and on-campus training and transfer elements. All modules/blocks are offered several times throughout the year. Thus students can choose their own most convenient time and pace. The length of the program is by and large up to the student. Most students average around three years on a part-time basis. Learning is closely related to the students' practical business world and case studies are real-life business situations presented by real executives expecting real answers.
How does your program differ from a traditional MBA program?
GSBA does not use Harvard case studies. Students and faculty work only with real-life, living cases. They work out real-life solutions for companies and receive regular feedback on the implementation of their proposals. We developed a different approach to adult learning, based on andragogic principles rather than pedagogic methods. The purely cognitive part of learning is by and large delegated to the students themselves. In class, we focus on practical application, using a peer-to-peer approach based on knowledge exchange, always in close cooperation with our corporate clients. In other words, the company, the student and the professor form a triad. The learners are also teachers and vice versa.
What is your approach of E-learning in your dual degree MBA?
E-Learning is applied in the preparation phases to the on-campus blocks. Students are requested to acquire a certain amount of theoretical elements in preparation of the blocks and e-learning helps to assure the transfer of these theoretical elements into the students' workplace realities.
Could you explain to our readers how the Genetically Growing Case Study Method and Andragogic Management help to better transfer knowledge to the business students?
The most effective method for Executives is the "living-case-study" which was devised and developed by GSBA in Zurich. Extensive experience with the living case shows that it provides an excellent foundation to develop practical management skills.
GSBA's manager students profit from this interactive, interdisciplinary and integrative approach. These graduates are far better equipped to find business opportunities and harvest those opportunities in ways that enhance their value to their employers. Experience shows that the graduates make an immediate, positive impact on their own company's management effectiveness.
About Albert Stähli
Dr. Albert Stähli is the founder and Rector of GSBA Zurich. He has a master in political sciences from Zurich University and a PhD in Business Administration from Vienna University. Stähli's dissatisfaction with the classical pedagogic approach to business teaching made him found the school in 1968 and continuously develop its management andragogic approach and its core methodology of the "Genetic Case Study". Stähli developed the business school ever since to become the first institution in German-speaking Europe in 1985 to work with an international faculty and offer an MBA Degree and a few years later the first institution again to offer a Dual Degree Executive MBA.

This happens to me, too
. I'm in the bike lane adjacent to heavy traffic and parked cars. A dude steps between the parked cars in front of me, looks right at me, waits until I'm about two feet from me then steps
directly in my path
. This happened twice last night. The first time, I barked, "Watch it!" and the guy jumped back. The second time it happened, I brushed the dude with my shoulder. He apologized, I kept going. Just to be clear,
my brush was not intentional
, although if I really tried I possibly could have avoided it.
I almost always give the benefit to the walker -- if somebody jaywalks in front of me, I'm okay with that. But you gotta at least give me some space to react.

IMPORTANT: Please post comments for this article at the new
version of this page.
Now I am not a lawyer, but if you two would have collided and been injured, I don't believe you would have been at fault. You were riding in a safe manner (presumably) following traffic regulations, and the pedestrian knowingly jaywalked.
Having biked through the streets of Manhattan before, I know exactly what you are talking about. Thankfully, you are alert enough to make quick decisions to keep bad accidents from happening.
Stay safe out there.

I was sprinting for a light on a 4 lane road. A half block from the intersection a guy walks out into the street from a bus stop. He gets half way across the first lane and see's that the traffic is too heavy to continue and turns back.
I just have time to think, "Oh good, I'm not going to have to dodge him when he looks up and see's me. He grins, turns around and steps in front of me. I hit him dead on knocking him onto his back and all the change in his pockets flies out.
I didn't go down. I grabbed both brakes hard and threw my weight back just as we hit, but it was a near thing. My next few words were scatalogical, his are unintelligable. I'm wondering if he hit his head, it didn't look like it but things happened pretty fast.
He mutters something about having to go and takes off. I asked the other stunned bus stop patrons if they saw what I did, this guy deciding to step out in front of me. One of them says that's how it looked to him, "Dude was crazy." were his exact words.
I get to work and I'm starting to worry. Is he alright? Is he going to claim that I hit and ran him? I call the local cop station and tell them what happened, just to be on the record that I didn't try and hide what had happened.
They're hostile and pass my call to a detective. He asks me if the guy I hit had been wearing a maroon jacket. "No, I think it was brown." I say and the cop loses interest mentioning that they'd just had a guy wearing a maroon jacket report getting his wallet stolen by someone on a bike.
A couple of hours later I see the guy walk by and he is indeed wearing a maroon jacket.
Sometimes these folk just misjudge how fast we're travelling and sometimes they assume we'll stop. But sometimes they're just plain crazy.

Ah, peds. Seattle peds are the worst I've ever encountered mainly because peds here have ROW in most instances and, even when they don't, drivers cede ROW just to avoid hitting them, so there isn't any pattern to when/where peds will jump out (thus precluding my ability to predict their nonsense). This is all I'll say: I LOVELOVELOVE my bells, and I have one on every bike I own.
[takes a deep breath and thinks a happy thought about his commute]

The place where "peds" drive me most crazy is on our beautiful Boise River Greenbelt. Not so much them darting out, as much as them walking as though there are the only ones on the path. I guess it's just the inconsiderate driver syndrome translated into walking. I can't tell you how many times I have to slow to a near stop to wait for 3 people stretched across the path to figure out how to move aside after I yell "on your left!" I've even had to swerve around two people SITTING DOWN on the path!
(Thanks for the opportunity to rant.)

Spotlight show • He has no ties to the movie "Lincoln" or the 16th president, yet Emancipator is still coming to Utah with a lot of buzz. The electronic musician just released a new album, "Dusk to Dawn," that features his signature down-tempo trip-hop and nontraditional instrumentation. In a phone interview, Emancipator (born Douglas Appling) said he grew up in rural Virginia, influenced by violins, banjos and other instruments that usually show up in other genres, not in electronica. "I can't explain it," he said of his unconventional style. "It just sounds good to me." He moved to Portland about five years ago, forsaking New York City and Los Angeles because he was attracted to the growing electronic scene in Oregon and also because Portland is a lot more affordable. "Right now it's a good home base," he said. Emancipator shouldn't get too comfortable, though. In a few weeks, he will embark on his first extended European tour. Little People and Odezsa open.

Phillip Phillips
Spotlight show • This 22-year-old singer won the 2012 season of "American Idol," basically becoming the fifth guitar-playing white guy to take the title. While Scotty McCreery has had a successful country career he performed at Provo's Stadium of Fire in 2012 David Cook, Kris Allen and Lee DeWyze haven't been able to match the popularity they enjoyed while on the show. But Phllips has bucked the trend. His bona-fide hit "Home" is the top-selling coronation song in "Idol" history, beating out Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. In a phone interview, the Georgia native and former pawn-shop cashier said when it came time to record his first album, it was important for him to write his own songs, despite some telling him he should just record songs written by others. "I told them I'm not that kind of artist," Phillips said. He found an advocate in "Idol" mentor Jimmy Iovine and ended up writing or co-writing nine of the 12 tracks on "The World from the Side of the Moon." "I didn't care to fit in," Phillips said. "No one knows you unless they know who you are." Churchill opens.

Andrew McMahon
Spotlight show • Andrew McMahon is best known as the frontman for pop-rock bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, but he has never ventured out as Andrew McMahon until now. Before touring this summer with fun., McMahon, 30, will headline his own show, playing new songs and some he wrote for Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin. Going in this direction was a natural next step after the bands folded. "I really wanted to own my career. It never felt right to play Jack's Mannequin songs at Something Corporate shows, or vice versa," he said in a phone interview. While Something Corporate was harder-edged than the piano-driven Jack's Mannequin, McMahon said, "I've always had the same approach to songwriting. It's never been project-driven." Besides striking out on his own, McMahon also is celebrating eight years in remission from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He turned 30 in September and said it was a milestone. "It did mean something to me," McMahon said of his birthday. "If you look at my 20s, it was turbulent." But with a six-piece band, he is ready for the next stage of his career. "In some senses, I'm starting over," McMahon said. "Hopefully it's not all uphill."
