George Strait sells out final show on 'Cowboy Rides Away' tour
Listen to George Strait on iHeartRadio
George Strait will wrap up his formal touring career before a packed house.
It didn't take long for the last stop on his"Cowboy Rides Away" 2014 tour to sell out -- all the tickets were gone within hours of becoming available last Friday.
Strait will end his trek at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on June 7th, playing before a capacity crowd of more than one hundred thousand fans. An impressive lineup of guests are on board to help King George complete this phase of his career; Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, and Martina McBride are just some of the stars slated to perform with George during the show.
Strait calls the fast sell-out "humbling and exciting." He adds that he's sure it's "going to be an incredible night."
Strait will begin his "Cowboy Rides Away" tour with a sold out show in Bossier City, Louisiana on January 9th.

Sometimes a tool is such an integral part of your daily routine, you don't think of it as a tool but as part of your shop or truck. A mechanic's vise is such a tool.
In my plumbing work, I need to break apart fittings or hold a tubing assembly in place to solder it up, so my vise sees constant use. Vise design doesn't move as fast or get as much attention as, say, lithium-ion-fueled cordless tools, but there is a new time-saving detail on the new 4-1/2-inch Ridgid XF45 vise that is definitely worth mentioning.
I tested this tool mainly for its quick-adjusting feature, but its basics are reason enough to like it. The machining and finish look great, and this attention to detail speaks well for the overall quality of this type of tool. It has a full 360-degree swivel base with dual lock-down levers; a stout, hardened anvil section; and a patented alignment system that keeps the jaws parallel. Unlike most vises on the market, the Ridgid is of forged and welded construction. I have owned cheaper cast iron vises that have chipped, but this should never be a problem with the Ridgid. Forged steel is nearly indestructible in this application.
The quick-adjusting action is fairly common on woodworking vises with longer travel, but, according to Ridgid, having it on this tool makes it the only quick-adjusting mechanic's vise in the U.S. market. The quick-adjusting action really is a time saver on the job. To open or close the jaws, you simply flip a lever below the moving jaw to disengage the threaded drive. After sliding the jaws into position, you flip the lever back down and crank the vise tight.
On the job, time is money, so I liked the idea of saving a little. I installed the Ridgid vise on our repair service truck; our trucks have a special receiver setup of my own design that accommodates a vise mount that my guys can adjust to perfect working height. A mounting arm slides out from a receiver in the side of the rear bumper and allows access to the vise from all sides, ensuring a good working position with plenty of clearance for the longest pipes or bulkiest assemblies. Usually this rig holds a chain vise for pipe, but I made a mounting plate for the Ridgid's vise, too.
The first thing I noticed when using the vise is the generous capacity of the jaws, despite their moderate 4-3/4-inch width. It can clamp up to 4-7/8 inches between its jaws or handle a piece of 4-inch pipe in its integral pipe jaws. During our testing, this vise held everything we clamped in it without slipping.
The most outstanding feature of the Ridgid XF45 is of course its quick-release function. When working with a vise, we often clamp a small piece, such a bolt head, then need to clamp a large assembly. This used to require the jaws to be laboriously cranked in and out, but with the Ridgid vise, sliding the jaw into position with one hand couldn't be easier. And I found that the square drive threads tightened seamlessly without any sudden loosening when jumping back into gear, an annoying quirk of quick-release woodworking vises with angled drive teeth. This feature saves a lot of time when working with multiple sizes of materials, freeing you from the endless handle cranking.
One problem with this vise is that when it is rotated, the quick-release lever can hit the base. This keeps the vise from rotating very far when it is holding something 11/16 inches or smaller in its jaws. If this is a common occurrence in your work, you could saw the steel lever down at the expense of a bit of leverage.
Ridgid offers three accessory jaw pads for this vise in rubber, aluminum, or fiber-reinforced plastic. These pads attach easily with magnetic backs and provide protection for your most delicate materials. I found the rubber pads quite useful for holding chromed pieces firmly without damaging the finish. Ridgid also has a larger version of this vise, the 5-inch XF50, for $100 more.
The Verdict
I've always carried a chain vise on our service truck; we work mostly with pipe, so it seemed like the most useful tool. But after using the Ridgid XF45 vise for a while, its quick-adjustment feature, compact size, heavy-duty capabilities, and increased versatility had me shelving the chain vise. We now have new repair service favorite.

Presenter is Allen Hays, emeritus professor of public policy & political science; member, UNI War on Drugs Task Force; Cedar Valley Citizen for Undoing Racism
Bi-weekly Faculty Senate meeting.
The CSBS Student Research Conference features scholarly projects from diverse departments at UNI as well as other regional schools and universities. The conference provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to exchange ideas, present research and learn more about developments in social sciences.
Students can attend seminars, lectures and panel discussions. Topics include future possibilities and job prospects after graduating in the social sciences, current research focus in the fields and graduate education in the social sciences.
This year's keynote speaker is Dr. Caroline J. Tolbert, whose research explores political behavior, elections and representation widely defined (her subfields include voting, elections and representation, public opinion, American state politics, direct democracy, race/ethnicity, digital politics and information technology).
Andrew Bacevich, an expert on U.S. foreign policy and military affairs, talks about the forces that have shaped U.S. national security and the rise of a "perpetual war" that affects the economy, society and politics of the United States, and our place in the world. What is the proper role of the U.S. military in the world? Can terrorism be defeated militarily? Can the aspiration of unchallenged global dominance be sustained? A retired army colonel and professor at Boston University, Bacevich addresses these issues with a sense of realism and a historical perspective that challenges many common assumptions.
Jackson Katz is an educator, anti-sexist male activist, social theorist, author and filmmaker. He holds a Master's degree from Harvard Graduate School of Education, with a focus in the social construction of violent masculinities through sports and media. He holds a Ph. D. in cultural studies and education from UCLA. Katz has dedicated his life to gender violence prevention. He developed the gender violence prevention program, Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP), at the Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society in 1993. The MVP program serves to empower both males and females from all socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, and sexual orientation backgrounds to become leaders and teaches the skills needed to build positive environments in schools, businesses and communities.
The evening lecture will give an opportunity for many students and faculty who have trained and/or educated in the MVP model to hear Katz lecture live on the development and impact of the model. Three student organizations have applied for funding to support the visit: Masters in Social Work Student Association: UNI Supporters of the United States Army, Sigma Phi Epsilon, a men's fraternity that has been very engaged with CVP initiatives.
Megan Vogt, recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Paper on Gender award, Social Work (M.S.W.) and Women's & Gender Studies graduate student will present her paper titled, "Portrayals of Feminism: Through the eyes of Hans Christian Andersen and Disney."
Gary Gute, director, Creative Life Research Center and associate professor, School of Applied Human Sciences, and Deanne Gute, associate director, Creative Life Research Center, will present "Complexity as a Catalyst for Flow and Creativity in the Early Family Lives of Highly Creative People." Bring your lunch; cookies will be provided. Forty years of creativity literature has identified complexity and flow as central to the lives of creative persons. However, research has not sufficiently explored the influence of complexity within the family in shaping adult creativity. This presentation reports the results of a study (Gute, Gute, Nakamura, & Csikszentmihalyi) that explored complexity in the early family lives of nine creative exemplars who have made significant contributions to contemporary culture.
The Center for Violence Prevention is hosting a conference focusing on empowering military leaders to stand up and prevent sexual violence. The conference is designed to bring together military, civic and educational leaders to discuss and assess their roles and responsibilities in supporting violence prevention. Keynote speaker is Major General Anthony (Tony) A. Cucolo III, Commandant of the U.S. Army War College, Carlisle, Penn. Senior military leaders and nationally recognized subject matter experts/trainers in violence prevention will serve on a panel to discuss the success and challenges of addressing and ending sexual violence in the military. Jeff O'Brien, national and international MVP trainer and facilitator, Orlando, Fla., will facilitate an afternoon training session on the Mentors in Violence Prevention model. The Center for Violence Prevention at UNI is a nationally recognized center that has institutionalized the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) leadership program developed by Jackson Katz. Registration is free and lunch is provided.

The Office of Cultural Affairs, once part of the city's Park and Recreation Department, was created as a means of strengthening and nurturing the arts in Dallas through providing technical assistance programs and grants. The Cultural Arts Program, and its predecessor, the City Arts Program, awarded grants to local arts programs that met certain requirements. Other programs offered by the Cultural Affairs Office were the Technical Assistance Program and the Minority Arts Incentives Program. The Office of Cultural Affairs sought to support and build partnerships with artistic groups and organizations in Dallas through training and grants.
This collection consists of materials kept by John Davis during his tenure as head of the technical assistance program at the Office of Cultural Affairs. Also contained in this collection is his participation in the National Society of Fundraising Executives - Dallas Chapter, as well as some contract work for the city of San Antonio and Greater Dallas Community of Churches. The collection offers an in depth look at the state of the arts in Dallas during the mid eighties. Many artistic organizations in Dallas applied to and participated in programs and grants offered by the office. Materials kept on these organizations by John Davis include a variety of information - budget, staffing, organizational information, programming, policies and procedures. Also kept is Cultural Affairs administrative and programming reports, including grants awarded, correspondence, and official policy. The John Davis Cultural Affairs Collection comes from a time when the city wanted to take a more active part in the promotion of arts in Dallas. This organization was used by the City of Dallas to direct and coordinate a cultural policy that benifits the city and recognize the arts as an important compenent to quality of life for its citizens.

Happy New Year!
Having eaten my fair share of hog jowls, rice, black-eyed peas and collard greens on Jan. 1, 2008, I sat back and pondered the near future.
I wondered about the unfolding events in 2008. Will Tarmac America obtain a special exception to mine hundreds of millions of tons of limerock from the Gulf Hammock Area?
Will Ameris Health Systems obtain funding to build Tri-County Hospital in Chiefland?
Will State Attorney Bill Cervone prosecute alleged voter fraud cases in Levy County?

Optimization Or Else
Optimization has got to be the most overused word when it comes to my line of work. If I had to take a guess I would say no more than 1 in 5 optimization claims are anything more than a design study. It seems to have come to the point that if a person compares two analyses, and one is better, the claim is that it has been optimized. As someone who scopes the work required for design services I have some thoughts about "optimization".
When a customer approaches me to scope work for either an electronics cooling, clean room, data center, etc. application there are three general classifications that I use to break down the amount of work involved.
- Analysis: In this scenario the customer essentially owns the design and the cost is associated with each analysis and report. This works well when there are significant constraints unrelated to thermal/airflow that will drive the design. With our recommendations they can weigh all of the constraints and opportunities and decide in what direction the design should proceed.
- Design: In this scenario the customer would provide the constraints but we own the design and the number of analyses required to reach the goals. As an example, their constraints might be: Off-the-shelf heat sinks only, maximum height of a heat sink, component locations, maximum operating temperatures, etc. Once the constraints have been defined the customer pays for "a solution" based on these constraints. This is a good choice for a customer that wants a solution for a fixed cost.
- Optimization: Similar to above, the constraints need to be fully understood but rather than deliver a single suitable design they are paying for the optimum design. Typical optimizations might be:
- Minimize junction temperature
- Maintain junction temperature below a certain operating point and minimize the mass of the heat sink
- Maintain junction temperatures of inline components below a certain operating point and within a certain deltaT of each other and minimize the mass of the heat sinks.
Maybe a good way to distinguish between a design study and optimization would be to think about the words "Maintain" and "Minimize". If you are minimizing or maximizing a parameter you are probably doing an optimization. Even then, if the design space isn't properly positioned you may come up with a best design given the space but not necessarily an optimum.
When it comes to CFD analysis it is a lot easier to claim, than actually perform, an optimization. Typically an optimization would require, or at least benefit greatly from, a third party design-of-experiments software, not to mention the skills required to use that software. There is an exception with our tools, FloTHERM and FloVENT, which comes standard with all of this functionality. When I look back over the life of FloTHERM and FloVENT, and the road map it has taken, I can't help but appreciate all of the visionaries and developers involved. The first step was to develop a tool with a robust solver and scheme that would lend itself to automation. The second key concept is the notion of SmartParts (i.e. Fans, Heat Sinks, etc) that provided the user all of the design knobs to vary a design. After this foundation had been laid and proven successful all of the power has been incrementally released to the community:
- Command Center: An interface that allows the user easy access to turn the knobs and collect the necessary analysis results to drive the design
- Design Of Experiments (DOE): Allows the user to study a design space using sophisticated mathematics (behind the scenes) to best study the space while limiting the number of analyses
- Sequential Optimization: Allows the user to pinpoint the optimum operating point based on the user's criteria and made more effective by the DOE.
- Response Surface Optimization (RSO): Like DOE, this brings sophisticated mathematics (behind the scenes) directly to the thermal designer in Command Center. With this, the user can mathematically predict where the optimum operating point would be based on the DOE study. It also shows the sensitivity to design parameters as pointed out by Kelly Cordell-Morris in this blog. Without this functionality it would be nearly impossible to study the effect of changing one variable in an analysis that is varying multiple parameters.
As a politician might say, "Let's be clear…" what we mean when we say optimization.

Has anyone heard anything about this? I have been up to snuff on the recent GPU cracking technology that has sprung up...with it being used to crack md5, ntlm....etc etc.....
...but how feasible would it be to take that GPU and put it to work to *generate* rainbow tables? Generating tables are the hardest thing to do, espeically for WPA encryption.
It's one thing to lug around a 40 gig file from the Shmoo Group (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK!) that contains common (but not all) SSID's, however why not be able to turn your own rainbow table out in a short amount of time for a pre-meditated SSID?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
well that's not being helpful at all. Can you please point me towards one of these threads? I can't seem to find any that fit the description here.
A search revealed a few other threads on the same subject as well, but seemed like they for the most part only repeated the information given in this one.

Turbococina Efficient Cookstoves in El Salvador
The use of fuel wood for cooking has long been predominant in El Salvador, with around 60 percent of urban households and 85 percent of rural households using firewood for their cooking needs. This has been linked to a variety of adverse health effects in households and to the country's current high level of deforestation, where over 85 percent of forest cover has disappeared since the 1960s. El Salvador is now the second most deforested country in Latin America after Haiti.
The UNDP, through its MDG Carbon, has been supporting a public-private partnership to distribute Turbococina efficient stoves to schools and households. The UNDP has provided capacity building on carbon finance and CDM Programme of Activities and the benefits of linking carbon finance to social programmes to the El Salvador government through information and training sessions. The UNDP has contributed to various activities to raise awareness and train users of the stoves, including through publishing a user's manual for Turbococina stoves. Moreover, the UNDP facilitated an agreement with the Ministry of Education (MINED) that mandated the use of efficient stoves in schools in its 'Programa de Alimentacion Escolar' network, creating an important initial market base and platform. Finally, the UNDP provided technical support to TECSA on the structuring and phasing of the CDM project, including the use of the PoA modality.
The Turbococina stove, which uses a patented technology designed in El Salvador, results in a 90 percent reduction in the need for firewood and eliminates virtually all smoke emissions. For a typical household, this reduces the required firewood from 3.3 tonnes to 0.3 tonnes a year.
An El Salvadorian socially-oriented business, Technologias Ecologicas Centroamericanas (TECSA), is behind the project and is working in full partnership with the Government of El Salvador, including the Ministry of Education (MINED), the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN), and two programmes within the Social Investment Fund for Local Development (FISDL), 'Progama de Alimentacion Escolar' and 'Comunidades Solidarias Rurales. ' TECSA is using an innovative business model that will provide the Turbococina stoves to users for free and then recover its investment through the sale of the emission reductions in the carbon markets.
The stoves will be used to cook the school children's daily meal as part of the government's 'Progama de Alimentacion Escolar'. Thus far, a pilot of 750 Turbococina stoves has been implemented in 300 schools. After building initial awareness and capacity through the school programme, the second phase will involve wider distribution to 100,000 rural households participating in the government's 'Comunidades Solidarias Rurales' social programme.
Transitioning to the Turbococina stove is also anticipated to have long-term sustainable development benefits. Since a much smaller quantity of wood is needed to power Turbococina stoves compared to traditional stoves, it is expected that deforestation rates and associated greenhouse gas emissions will decrease. According to the CDM methodology AMS IIG, each household stove is anticipated to generate 4 to 5 tonnes of CO2 reductions per year, for a total annual project size of approximately 500,000 Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). Additionally, women will likely spend less time collecting wood, which will give them more time to dedicate to other, potentially more productive activities. Moreover, the combustion process of the Turbococina stove does not emit noxious gases or smoke, which will reduce respiratory diseases and infections, particularly in women and young children.

Wow, I thought I was the only person alive who liked this film! Everyone I know seems to hate it lol.
I'll add some to the list:
Anvil: The Story of Anvil - Documentary about an old skool metal band from the 70s/80s who got overtaken by their peers but never gave up.
Dead Man's Shoes - Everyone should see this film....absolutely incredible. In fact, add all of Shane Meadows' films to the list.
Zombieland - Decent comedy starring Woody Harrellson. Has an awesome cameo in it from someone rather famous too (won't spoil it if you haven't seen it).
Hot Rod - Another comedy in that geeky Napoleon Dynamite kinda style.
Pusher Trilogy - Gangster/drug-related films from Denmark. The first two are the best, third is good but has the most anti-climatic ending ever.
Unbreakable - I know M. Night Shyamalanamanalanaman gets a bad rap, but he has done some solid films.....this being one of the best imo.
Once Were Warriors - Kiwi film about a family torn up by an abusive father.
Let The Right One In - Swedish vampire film. They recently did a yank remake, but it's usually safer to stick with the originals.
The Road - Incredibly powerful story about a father & son.
Threads - Not strictly a film, but an old tv special from the 80s about the aftermath of a fictional nuclear bomb dropped on us by the Russians. Still dark today, must've seriously freaked people out in the mid 80s lol

1- Dead mans shoes - pretty gritty def worth watching
2- Into the wild - enjoyable
3- 300 - violence fix!
4- Goonies - classic
Just watched Takers, pretty solid film nothing fantastic about it but if your looking for something to watch Id give it a try. Good cast aswell, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Idris Elba, Chris Brown, T.I and Matt Dillon all starring in it
just a few i've seen recently

Mission Statement
The College of Arts and Letters serves multiple vital needs of JMU students. First, it offers high-quality programs of specialized study in the social sciences, humanities, and communication, and in several pre-professional and cross disciplinary areas. Second, the college provides a challenging array of courses designed to promote lifelong learning by sharpening analytical abilities; improving computational and communications skills; cultivating a facility with written expression; enhancing cultural awareness, intensifying moral and aesthetic sensitivity and fostering awareness of the contingent nature of knowledge. Linking these two missions is a college-wide commitment to free but rigorous and controlled inquiry into human nature.
In addition to the special goals of each major, all programs in the college are committed to helping the students achieve the following common objectives:
- Improve foundational skills fostered by general education courses: writing, critical thinking, information access through technology and, where appropriate, foreign languages.
- Develop the ability to use writing to acquire knowledge and to communicate ideas effectively through writing-intensive courses required in the major.
- Enrich cultural perspectives essential to effective citizenship in the 21st century; global awareness and appreciation of American cultural diversity.
- Provide significant active-learning experiences through field courses, research projects, internships, studies abroad and simulations.
Majors and Minors
Students may select from a broad spectrum of major and minor programs in the seven departments and three schools. The departments and schools fully describe their programs in Academic Programs section of the catalog.
Cross Disciplinary Activities
In addition to departmental majors and minors, the college offers a wide array of interdepartmental majors, minors, pre-professional programs, general education courses, annual events and supporting services, some of which reach out to the regional community.
Coordinator: Dr. Jessica Adolino
Phone: (540) 568-6413
Students who plan to apply to law school may select their major from a wide range of fields, depending upon their interests. The scope of the law is broad and offers room for individuals of varied educational and intellectual backgrounds. Students should choose courses that provide them with broad informational and cultural preparation and develop their reasoning abilities.
Especially valuable to a pre-law program are courses in:
- Communication, including composition, language and speech, which enable students to express themselves well
- The humanities and social sciences, which help students to appreciate and perform effectively in their culture and society
- Logic, mathematics and the natural sciences, which develop skills of fact discrimination, analysis and synthesis
- Accounting
Also important to the pre-law program is the Pre-law Society and Phi Alpha Delta, student organizations which organize law- related activities.
Coordinator: Dr. Iain S. Maclean
Phone: (540) 568-7059
The pre-theology program prepares students to enter professional schools of religion (divinity schools, seminaries, theological schools). These professional schools prepare the student for a variety of careers, such as ministry, religious education and religious work with youth and others. The program at JMU will provide excellent preparation not only for acceptance at these schools but also for enriched professional training.
A student in this program may major in any field he/she chooses, although the American Association for Theological Schools recommends substantial pre-professional training in philosophy and religion. This professional accrediting agency also recommends a broad background in English language and literature; history (American and European); both the physical and the life sciences; the social sciences (particularly psychology, anthropology and sociology); biblical and classical (Greek and Latin) languages and, of course, religion, including the Bible, history of religious traditions and theology.
Archaeology Collection
Coordinator: Dr. Clarence Geier
Phone: (540) 568-6171
The archaeology collection contains prehistoric and historic material excavated at numerous Virginia archaeological sites as well as an extensive library collection of site reports, artifact identification guides and maps. Artifact study collections spanning the 12,000 year occupation of Virginia's Ridge and Valley Province are also being developed for teaching and research purposes.
Center for Public Broadcasting/WMRA-WEMC
Director: Tom DuVal
Phone: (540) 568-6221
Email: email@example.com
Website: http://www.wmra.org
The Center for Public Broadcasting's mission is to foster informed, engaged and culturally enriched communities. It serves over 50,000 listeners in the Shenandoah Valley, Charlottesville and Farmville areas.
The center comprises a network of non-commercial public radio stations, serving Harrisonburg at 90.7 FM, Charlottesville at 103.5 FM, Lexington at 89.9 FM and Winchester at 94.5 FM, and one standalone station, WEMC, serving Harrisonburg at 91.7 FM. The WMRA network stations are licensed to the James Madison University Board of Visitors. WEMC is licensed to Eastern Mennonite University, but is operated entirely by the center. Much of WMRA's programming is rebroadcast by WMLU 91.3 FM, the station owned by Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. WMRA and WEMC are members of National Public Radio, and are affiliated with Public Radio International and American Public Media. The stations broadcast 24 hours per day year-round, offering extensive in-depth news coverage and classical, folk, blues and jazz music. The center also operates Valley Voice Radio Reading Service for the print-impaired. Listeners and local businesses contribute two-thirds of the center's annual budget.
History Day
Each spring JMU hosts the regional competition for National History Day. The contest is open to students in grades six through 12, with categories including media presentations, performances and historical papers. Judging and comments are provided by professional historians. Winners at the state level participate in the National History Day Competition at the University of Maryland in June. For further information contact Dr. Steven Guerrier in the Department of History at (540) 568-6523.
Visiting Scholars Program
The Visiting Scholars Committee organizes campus visits during the year by 12-15 people who have made significant contributions in their fields. The scholars, who represent a wide variety of disciplines, expose students and faculty members to different perspectives and encourage intellectual exploration. During a visit, a scholar meets with at least one group of students in a class or informal setting and gives a public presentation and discussion of his/her work. For further information, contact Prof. Dietrich Maune at (540) 568-6472.

The announcement that came along with Richemont's 2012 annual results this morning that chairman Johan Rupert (left), is taking a year off from running the world's second biggest luxury company starting this September is by far, to me at least, the most interesting part of the statement. For a man who has built the largest watch and jewellery Group to take a year off at age 62 – which, let's face is not so old — at a time when the exponential growth trajectory of the luxury sector has started to slow is a little, well, surprising. And leads to all sorts of interesting speculation.

I'm going to need a whole lot of serious therapy when this is over!
I appologize in advance for this post being so long, but I thought it was necessary to give the whole story as best I could tell it. My husband and I live in a rural part of West Virginia where we have a 12 year old miniature pinscher mix named Spaz that we have had for 7 years, and we added 2 kittens, Leela and Idgie, to our family last September. They are sisters who were born to a feral mother and were only 5 weeks old when we took them in. Now they are beautiful, strong, and for the most part healthy cats. One of them is Idgie, and the other is Leela. Leela has Iritable Bowel Disorder (which is managed by diet), and is somewhat smaller in size than her sister. The vet in town took over a month to diagnose her before I took her and her records to a second vet, and because of this Leela lost out in size and development. She's better now, but I always thought she'd be the problem child when we started toilet training. Leela is my shining star. She will use the Litter Kwitter every time. Because of her small size she does have some trouble with aiming for the center, but her feet are in the right place and I think she'll be fine if we ever get to the green disk. Our frustrations are with Idgie. We like to think of Idgie as the big sister even though they are littermates. She is physically bigger, but she also reaches every miles stone first. She runs faster, leaps farther, plays harder and almost always learns everything first. At first she really seemed to get the hang of the LitterKwitter. She jumped on the seat with ease, and was using it with no problems. The amber disk did not faze her and she was peeing and pooing in the center like a pro. I thought they were both ready, so I switched to the green ring and something happened. She started peeing on the floor by the toilet, and then pooing on the floor by the toilet. Then she started soiling the carpet in our home office and going behind the couch in the living room and under our bed. I switched back to the amber disk but it did no good. I bought a second training seat to be used in the guest bath but it didn't help. In desperation I switched back to the red disk, and cried when it didn't help. Now the dog has started peeing inside too, though he has his preferred places to go which pretty much includes anything left on the floor that has a verticale surface (shipping boxes, magazine stand, the decorative box holding aquarium supplies, soft sided pet carrier, etc.). This weekend my husband and I are going to buy new flooring for our house because ours is now ruined. The house was built new 1 year ago, and it makes me mad to have to go out and buy new flooring when a) techincally we just bought new flooring last year AND b) if we don't solve our problems before the new flooring is installed then they'll just ruin the new stuff too. I really wanted to train the girls so that maybe it would break Spaz from eating the "kitty crunchies" that he would steal out of their covered litter box. Oh yeah, and I'd finnally be done scooping poop. Now I'm not sure of what to do since I feel like I have actually untrained Spaz and Idgie. Any ideas?

|University of Alaska Southeast Faculty and Staff Newsletter
|June 21, 1996
"We've already proven this cooperation works for our two schools and the constituents we serve," Lind said. "Now we want to improve it."
Ross said, "We reached the point of maturity in our relationship (with UAS) that we decided it was timely to create an umbrella arrangement for further points of collaboration."
The agreement was signed in Whitehorse (June 10). Lind and other UAS officials were there to take part in commencement for 25 Yukon residents who had just completed a three year Master of Education degree program through UAS.
The agreement calls for jointly designed curriculum and programs, facilitated student transfers, cooperative research programs, shared research findings, staff exchanges, and coordination of international gatherings.
Ross said educational partners like UAS provide degree and postgraduate degree opportunities Yukon College can't afford to offer. " We have collaborated (with UAS) on a Master of Public Administration degree that was highly valued here as well as a Master of Education Degree. The latter program produced a very happy and confident array of graduates this past weekend."
In addition to the basic expansion of the food preparation and service areas the bid alternates call for creating a coffee shop, a multipurpose meeting/banquet room, accessibility corrections to the rest rooms, improvements to the existing seating areas and new lighting, ventilation and carpeting.
The remodel is not expected to be completed until after the first couple weeks of fall semester classes. Until then meals will be prepared off campus and delivered to students. "Our new residence hall students will be surprised to find that we are going to feed them up at student housing," according to Housing Director Tish Griffin. When the remodel is completed residence hall students will take their meals in the new Mourant food service area.
Longtime adjunct teacher Rod Landis is taking a permanent, tenure-track English professor post this fall. Landis has been a part-time instructor in Ketchikan for four years. He worked full-time on campus in 1995-96 with a diverse portfolio: counselor, part-time instructor, interim head of the English department, organizer of an advisory board for a prospective health and human services program.
Landis has a master of arts degree in teaching English from the University of Georgia. He's taught in secondary classrooms in Georgia and Alaska and has been an educational therapist in youth programs. During his part-time and full-time stint at Ketchikan campus, Landis team-taught several times and produced a course for distance delivery.
The Ketchikan campus is also hiring adjunct instructor Dorthy Armstrong as the new head of the Business Administration program. Armstrong taught accounting and business courses at Ketchikan campus for two years while she worked full-time for Ketchikan's municipal utilities and government. She previously taught part-time for about five years at City University in Bellevue, Wash. -- the institution where she earned an M.B.A. in 1989.
Armstrong was accounting manager for the City of Ketchikan when she took the college faculty post.
The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly approved a $136,500 contribution to the college in its FY 1997 budget. That's an increase of nearly 16 percent from the previous year. The outlay maintains borough support for the campus Learning Center and Ketchikan Career Center, which provides adult education in maritime, professional and technical fields. The Ketchikan assembly increased funding for FY 1997 in accordance with the campus's proposal to hire a coordinator of health and human services education. The Ketchikan campus would split the cost of the post with local government.
Patricia (Tia) Thornton, who will coordinate their visit, said, "I hope to be able to provide them an introduction to the history and local culture of Juneau." Thornton is working on a Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley on Chinese politics and has spent an academic year in both mainland China and in Taiwan.
The Taiwanese will spend half a day studying English and the other half learning about American culture. The group will stay in UAS student housing. Thornton, who speaks Chinese, plans to organize off-campus activities that emphasize Juneau's history, the indigenous culture, the natural environment, and cross cultural exchanges. She also plans to work with the Juneau Chinese community and the local Sister City committee.
Alice Tersteeg, Juneau campus art professor and "Explorations" art editor, oversaw the award of three prizes worth $175 to UAS students whose work appears in the magazine: Karen Gilbank, 1st place for "Contemplation," and Dianne Anderson, 2nd place for "Moon Geese" and 3rd place for "Ice Passages." The art competition is open to UAS students only.
Art Petersen, Juneau campus English professor and "Explorations" editor said, "We are honored to serve as a sounding board for poets and writers in Juneau, Southeast, and all of Alaska as well as the rest of the U.S., Canada, and Europe."
Peggy Shumaker, an internationally published poet from the Fairbanks campus, awarded the "Explorations '96" prizes for poetry and prose. Next year, prominent Alaska writer and poet John Haines will be the board's special member.
"Explorations '96" may be obtained at the UAS Bookstore after July 1 or by contacting Petersen. He also has guidelines for "Explorations '97".
Saturday, June 22, noon to 6 p.m. free hydro bike rentals on Auke Lake for students with summer ID. Two singles and two doubles are available.
Saturday, June 29: glacier flight-seeing trips, weather permitting. The 35 minute ice cap tour is for students with summer ID. Participants must sign up in the Student Activities office. Family members may take part on a space available basis. The cost is $20 per student. A deposit/co-payment is required at sign-up. This offer is limited to 15 summer students. Airport transportation may be coordinated at the Student Activities office.
Hikes are schedule for July 16 at 10 a.m. on the Point Bridget Trail and on July 24 at 10 a.m. on the Granite Creek Trail.
Future ties depend on feasibility according to Ohler, who discussed the UAS education technology program at the conference. Ohler also found the university and graduate students who attended the conference were interested in telemedicine and distance education.
Ohler says officials in the Czech Republic haven't had money to buy technology until recently. "Even through they don't have much technology now, they can benefit if they use the time wisely. They can look at the technology that's coming."
Ohler has joined his interests in technology and music. On June 21, the Nimbus Quartet will premier his "String Quartet #1 ('Juneau')" at 8 p.m. at the Decker Art Gallery located at 233 South Franklin.
Ohler used computer technology to compose the work. "Instead of a word processor, I used the computer as a note processor," Ohler said. The advantage of the computer, Ohler says, is "I can play 'what if'" and quickly make changes.
Ohler said composing with a computer forced him to make a deal with the devil. "You are forced to become part technician...immersed in the left side of your brain while the right screams for attention." Ohler estimates he spent 20 percent of his time composing the music for "Juneau" and 80 percent of his time working with the computer technology.
"We'll be offering technical know-how, information on computer and library support and more," according to Laraine Derr, assistant to the dean of the School of Business and Public Administration. Training was to be provided by Robbie Stell, Sherry Taber, Eileen Franson, Mike Ciri and Karen Cummins. The BBA classes will be taught by Mary King, Jim Goes, and Wayne Roberts.
Michael Ciri, UAS manager of computing services, said the copies of "Soundings" posted the longest have the most "hits." He thinks that means most of the users are searching for information and end up directed to the UAS newsletter. "There's a lot of useful information about UAS in "Soundings" that people who are searching can find."
Ciri said the fewer "hits" on the most recent issues indicates most faculty and staff don't go to the homepage for Soundings. "Many people probably don't know it's available." Those wanting to read "Soundings" will find it at the following address: http://www.jun.alaska.edu/uas/new

CAFE Strikes Again: Infiniti to End V8 Engine Development
Brandon Hill
September 3, 2012 9:34 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Infiniti will turn to turbocharged 4- and 6-cylinder engines, hybrids, full electrics
"And another one gone, and another one gone / Another one bites the dust"
Well, it looks as though the
recently approved CAFE standards
that aim to increase automobile fuel economy to 54.5mpg by 2025 have claimed another victim. Infiniti currently has V8 engine options available in its M luxury sedan, FX crossover, and QX sport utility vehicles, but that likely won't be the case in future iterations of those vehicles.
According to a report by
increasingly stringent fuel economy and emissions regulations
mean that V8 engines are no longer on the table for Infiniti vehicles. V8 engines have traditionally been available in luxury vehicles as a symbol of prestige and power, but Infiniti will look to new ways to bring powerful engines to its lineup while still keeping fuel economy in check.
"I don't think any car that is on Infiniti drawing boards from here onwards we should expect a V8 to be included in that plan," Johan de Nysschen, Infiniti's global president.
Infiniti's 5.0-liter V8 produces 385hp, its 5.5-liter V8 produces 420hp, and its 5.6-liter V8 (truck-based) produces 400hp.
Infiniti to say good-bye to V8 engines
There are numerous directions that Infiniti can take with the absence of a V8 engine. Automakers like Ford already have
twin-turbocharged V6 engines
that develop 365hp while still delivering respectable fuel economy. Even Hyundai is rumored to be getting in on the action with a
twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 which generates 395hp
For entry-level and mid-range models will also see a shift in available engines as well. Infiniti's current workhorse engine is the 3.7-liter "VQ" V6, but Nissan is also working on a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to deliver comparable power and vastly improved fuel economy.
Other options for Infiniti include fully electric vehicles (like the
LE Concept
) and
additional hybrid models
(we're hoping that Infiniti delivers a production version of the
Infiniti isn't the only luxury maker to drop a V8 engine from its lineup. When Lexus redesigned its mid-range GS sedan, it dropped the 4.6-liter V8 engine option and instead launched the vehicle with a 3.5-liter V6 and a
3.5-liter V6/performance hybrid model
for those that want the power of a V8.

Diversify, diversify, diversify — and that mantra matters even more in this economic climate.
We've all heard of them. Friends, neighbors and relatives who have lost everything through a series of bad investments. Individuals beguiled by the promise of high returns who risk everything and come up empty-handed.
The stories are numerous and the investment errors ubiquitous. Knowing what those mistakes are can help improve our decision-making when it comes to investing our money.
Ben Sullivan, a certified financial planner at Palisades Hudson Financial Group in Scarsdale, N.Y., recalls a middle-aged banker who had more than half of his $500,000 portfolio in a few bank stocks. Another prospective client who'd sold his business to a big consumer-goods company had almost all his money — many millions — in that company's stock. An employee believed his 401(k) plan was diversified because he owned four funds — all large-cap stock funds.
Investor mistakes have predictable patterns, Sullivan says. "Our pervasive emotional and cognitive biases often lead to poor decisions."
Things to consider:
• Where are you going? Investing is a little like traveling, says Scott Warshaw, financial adviser at First Financial Group in Bala Cynwyd. "You want to figure out your destination first and then work backwards, using a financial plan that will get you there in the shortest time and with the least obstacles."
It's important to ensure your time horizon matches your investment objective, he cautions. Is your goal long-term, short-term or intermediate? Once you answer that question you can match it with an appropriate type of investment, be it aggressive or conservative.
• Herd Fever: Staying true to that goal can help investors maintain focus rather than react to short-term events and news, Warshaw says. "My clients say they watch the news stations and I try to remind them that news programs are trying to maintain ratings and keep things interesting. They don't tell viewers boring stuff like 'focus on the plan and keep the long-term goal in perspective.' So stick to your plan and don't deviate because you heard something on the news."
Sullivan concurs that following the herd is a powerful emotion "but it leads investors to come late to the party, buying at the top and selling at the bottom."
• Familiarity: Investing in what you "know best" can be a siren song leading investors astray from a prudently diversified portfolio, Sullivan says. "That was the case with all three investors mentioned above, who were familiar with banks, consumer goods and large-cap U.S. stocks respectively and unwisely put all their eggs in that familiar basket."
It's something every adviser will tell you — keep your investment portfolio diversified. "We call that reducing your overall correlation to the stock market," says Warshaw. "Keep your investments in different asset classes, i.e., stocks, bonds and alternative assets such as commodities and real estate, so that when one asset class is dropping, possibly the others are going up."
• Be Tax Smart: Always figure out how taxes come into play when investing, cautions Warshaw. "I tell clients, it's not how much you make, it's how much you keep!" Many investors will purchase the right type of investment but in the wrong type of account, he explains. A good adviser can usually offer input on this, he says.
• Know Your Risks: Risk is fine for certain portfolios as long as you understand the risks you're taking, says Adam Stern, CEO of Aegis Ventures in New York. "If you can't afford risk, you should not be investing in speculative investments. People make investment mistakes when they haven't done appropriate homework, or they're not relying on experts, or they're making decisions based on what they read in a news article or saw on a TV headline. Instead, you need a long-term plan based on the age, risk profile and assets of the individual."
Many investment mistakes occur when people lose sight of their end objective and act in the moment, Warshaw says. "They deviate from a strategy that's considered slower but safer, because it's well diversified, and buy one or two stocks because they think they can make a lot of money fast. But with more reward there's almost always more risk."
• Manage Your Expectations: If your expectations are unrealistic, you're likely to be disappointed, Stern suggests. "Managing expectations is one of the critical aspects of being an investor."
"We all bring our natural biases into the investment process," Sullivan agrees. "Though we cannot eliminate these biases, we can recognize them and respond in ways that help us avoid destructive and self-defeating behavior."
If you can't control your emotions or don't have the time or skill to manage your investments, a fee-only financial adviser is a good idea, he says. "An adviser can provide moral support and coaching, which will boost your confidence in your long-term plan and also prevent you from making a bad, emotionally driven decision."

Best Uses
This product does exactly as is advertised. Be aware that distance is the secret word. If you try to use this device as a common video recorder, you will be disappointed. If your subject is at least 50ft away it works well. Any closer and you will probably be disappointed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Katy Perry is Boobalicious and Talking Sexy in GQ Magazine [PHOTOS]
The adorable and talented Katy Perry is sexing things up for GQ's February issue.
Katy spilled some details about losing her virginity. Apparently it happened in the front seat of a Volvo while listening to a Jeff Buckley CD.
She also revealed to the magazine that as a young girl she wished for nothing more than BIG BOOBS. "I lay on my back one night and looked down at my feet, and I prayed to God. I said, 'God, will you please let me have boobs so big that I can't see my feet when I'm lying down?'" She continued, "God answered my prayers. I had no clue they would fall into my armpits eventually."
Well they indeed they grew. We love your luscious ta-tas Katy!

ALBUQUERQUE The number of cattle in New Mexico has dropped for the third straight year as ranchers around the state have been forced to sell off their herds as they grapple with a persistent drought.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Friday that New Mexicos cattle inventory has dipped to 1.3 million head. Thats down 4 percent from the previous year and marks the lowest inventory since 1991.
The number of beef cows in New Mexico has also hit a record low of 390,000 for the second year in a row.
The executive director of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association, Caren Cowan, says the lack of rain and feed, the high cost of hay and rising transportation costs have put ranchers in a bad place.
She says theyre praying for rain and looking for a silver lining.

For current announcements, visit the SAP News Center»
SAP NEWSBYTE - Demonstrating the evolution of its supply chain strategy, SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced the launch of four new, cloud-based applications that enable companies to more quickly develop, orchestrate and execute integrated business plans with real-time information.
In the "new normal" marketplace, the power is in the hands of the end consumers and customers who increasingly demand individualized products and services delivered with a higher sense of urgency. Supply chains are evolving into demand networks, where demand information is captured through new signals and fulfilled through the orchestration of a complex network of internal and external partners. As a result, companies require the ability to capture, interpret, plan and quickly act on real-time information in a fast, efficient and profitable way.
To meet these challenges, the new SAP® Integrated Business Planning solution comprises SAP Integrated Business Planning for sales and operations, SAP Integrated Business Planning for inventory, SAP Integrated Business Planning for supply and SAP Supply Chain Control Tower. The applications were developed to deliver analysis and share alerts of real-time information across the end-to-end supply and demand network, with the speed of the SAP HANA® platform and fast adoption through SAP Cloud. They also offer a collaborative environment for sales and operations planning across global functions, new optimization algorithms and supply chain monitoring capabilities.
"SAP clearly 'gets' supply chain, both in terms of understanding the challenges facing manufacturers in their efforts to better manage demand, supply and product innovation delivery; as well as in providing agile and comprehensive applications to help to manage these challenges," said Simon Ellis, Practice Lead for Supply Chain at IDC Manufacturing Insights.
The release of these four applications for integrated business planning enables companies to:

Brevard, N.C. - Josh Roper tied a school record with seven three-pointers and Josh Jordan recorded his sixth double-double of the night as the Brevard College men's basketball team celebrated Senior Night. However, Jaime Vaughn led five Wingate players in double figures with 24 points as the Bulldogs spoiled the party, 87-77.
Roper set BC (13-13, 8-10 SAC) records in field goals attempted and three-pointers attempted in going 10-of-29 from the floor and seven-of-17 from behind the arc in scoring a game-high 31 points in his last game on the Boshamer Gymnasium floor. Josh Jordan added 10 points and 11 rebounds, with two blocked shots, while Gaither Hendrix and Vincent Dombrowski were also in double figures with 12 and 11 points respectively. The Tornados shot 34.7 percent (26-of-75) from the floor in falling to Wingate for the second time this season.
Vaughn paced the Bulldogs (17-9, 12-6 SAC) with his 24 points and completed the double-double with 10 rebounds as Wingate jumped out to a 15 point halftime lead and withstood a furious Brevard comeback to take the win. Odell Turner added 14 points, while Chase Smith, Paidrick Matilus and Robert Carpenter contributed 13, 12 and 11 respectively. Ethan Kincaid set up the Wingate offense, handing out nine assists and pulling down seven rebounds as the Bulldogs shot 56.9 percent (33-of-58) from the floor and 57.9 percent (11-of-19) from behind the arc in the win.
Wingate went up by as many as 16 in the first half, led by 10 points by Smith. A three-pointer by Roper at the 14:40 mark gave the Tornados their only lead of the opening period at 7-6 as the senior guard drained the shot off the assist from Hendrix, but Wingate followed with a 7-0 run to take control of the game and go into the half with the 41-26 lead.
In the second half, the Bulldogs would lead by as much as 21 points at the 10:16 mark following an Eddie Lewis layup off the fast break to put Wingate up 67-46. Following a Dombrowski trey and a pair of free throws by Jordan, Roper would score 14 of Brevard's next 16 points, hitting four three-pointers during the stretch to cut the game back to within single digits at 75-67 with 4:09 to play.
However, Jeffrey Parker followed the stretch with a tip-in off a Turner miss to extend the lead back to 10 and despite challenges by the Tornados as Dombrowski and Roper both hit late three's the Bulldogs went six-of-eight from the free throw line in the final 52 seconds of the game to close out the 87-77 victory.
The sixth-seeded Tornados turn right back around on Wednesday, March 2nd, and take on a familiar foe as they travel to Wingate, N.C. in a rematch of both tonight's game, and last year's Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament first round game against the third-seeded Wingate Bulldogs. Tipoff in Cuddy Arena is set for 8 p.m.
