This Thursday evening, beginning at 6 p.m., we will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln in grand style at the old state capitol in Vandalia.
Although Lincoln belongs to the nation and to the world beyond, there was a time when Abraham Lincoln's world was Vandalia.
The newly elected legislator arrived in Vandalia by stage on a blustery November day, squeezed in with the other five members of the Sangamon County delegation, including his mentor, John T. Stuart.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For nearly six years, a senior Secret Service agent kept his extramarital affair with a Mexican woman a secret from the agency responsible for protecting the president.
But in the wake of an embarrassing prostitution scandal involving 13 agents and officers, Rafael Prieto's secret was revealed by a fellow employee amid concerns that the Secret Service wasn't enforcing its rules consistently.
With an internal investigation ongoing, Prieto apparently committed suicide last week. That's according to people familiar with the matter. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss Prieto's death or the investigation, which they say has focused on whether Prieto violated agency rules that require disclosing relationships with foreigners.
They say Prieto, a married father, admitted the years-long relationship when confronted by investigators.

When I buy chickpeas, I like to cook them all at once. This was a great way to use the cooked chickpeas. Totally delicious, even with dried dill instead of fresh since that's what I had. I did add a bit of salt and pepper and topped with a little grated pecorino romano cheese. Yum! |

I used frozen spinach because I had some that needed to be used and this was a perfect recipe for it. I also added salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and crushed red pepper. I ate 2 servings as a meal. Yum! |

I love this recipe. I added mint and some salt, and did not completely wilt the spinach. Served it with Ground Beef kabobs for a great dinner. |

Awesome starter recipe! I added 4oz reduced fat feta cheese, 1 c part skim ricotta and 4 reduced fat laughing cow swiss cheese wedges. It was so delicious and I ate the leftovers for lunch the nex day! Even my picky toddler ate it! Similar taste to Spanakopita! Thinking of baking it in phyllo. |

Submitted by: JOHANNAISABEL (9/23/09) report inappropriate |
I really like this dish - I love spinach and the chick peas make it a protein-rich meal that is quite filling and satisfying. I added green, red, and yellow bell peppers and tomatoes (cleaning out the fridge :) as well as some Frank's Red Hot sauce. Very good! Thank you :) |

I love this dish! To add extra Proteins to the dish, I like to sprinkle with Feta Cheese. |

This is delicious! I used frozen spinach to make it easier and added some diced extra firm tofu to crank up the protein, and I absolutely loved it. This is one I'll be making again! |

Served on wheat flatbread w/ feta cheese and yogurt is amazing. I could honestly do without the chickpeas, but fiber and protein are good.... |
Submitted by: LYNNETH7 (8/30/08) report inappropriate |
I'm betting most of the salt comes from the canned beans. Rinsing them before using them can reduce it or using dried beans you cooked yourself. It's just a guess, but it's the only place it seems to come from. |
Submitted by: SHANTI_ARUNIMA (3/11/08) report inappropriate |
Where did all the salt come from? It sounds like a great recipe, but my husband has to watch the salt. Any way to lessen the salt? |
Submitted by: STILLLEARNING (3/10/08) report inappropriate |
I made this last evening for a dinner party for some vegetarian friends of my daughters. They thought it was lovely. After I finished cooking the chick peas and spinach I added a little salt and pepper and grated lemon peel. I toped it off with more fresh dill. |
Submitted by: HUNGRY54 (3/8/08) report inappropriate |
I loved it, it was fresh and different. I think what a lot of people missed is salt. I didn't add any as I'm trying to keep it healthy. But what I DID wonder about was how dry it seemed to be. Not sure how to fix this, but it was sooo good! |

MARK MOISEEVICH AXELROD (RUSSIAN 1902-1970), a sketch to a painting Peasant Rebellion, 1933, oil on board, 12 x 20 in (30 x 50 cm), signed, dated and titled on board.
Axelrod was born in Maladzyechna, a small Jewish town in Belarus. As a child, he survived a pogrom and moved to Russia during World War I. He was a well-known Russian and Soviet painter, graphic and theater artist, Jewish by origin. He is famous for his watercolors depicting the lifestyle of Jewish people in Russian Empire and USSR. He studied in VHUTEMAS-VKHUTEIN. He was frowned upon in Soviet newspapers for pessimism, sketchiness, deformations, incomplete nature and even his proximity in style to Modigliani. He was forced to shift to book illustrations and theatre work. In particular, he worked in Belarus State Jewish Theatre, sometimes in Moscow State Jewish Theatre. His brother Zelik Axelrod was executed in 1941. He lived in evacuation in Alma-Ata in 1941-43 where he supported Jewish refugees from Poland. Many of Axelrod`s paintings are dedicated to Jewish scenes, for instance the series Ghetto (1968-1969), series In the Steppe - based on the impressions from the trip to agricultural Jewish commune in Crimea in 1930-31. He is the author of the paintings Recollections of the Old Minsk. The poet Arseniy Tarkovsky valued highly his art. His artworks are kept in Tretyakov Gallery, Russian Museum, Pushkin Museum of Visual Art. His work was barely known outside the former Soviet Union until his daughter, Elena Akselrod, published her father's biography and a representative collection of his works in Israel in 1993.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's counterterrorism agency identified the two suspected suicide bombers Thursday who struck the southern city of Volgograd and announced the arrest of two suspected accomplices.
The bombings of a train station and trolley bus in Volgograd in late December, which killed 34 people and wounded many more, heightened security fears before the Winter Olympics in Sochi, which start next week.
The suspected bombers, Asker Samedov and Suleiman Magomedov, were members of a terrorist group based in Dagestan, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said.

The walls of Howe Caverns consist of two types of limestone (Coeymans and Manlius) from different periods in the Earth's early history, as well as a rock known as Rondout waterred.
The Manlius limestone is seen most clearly and is the most abundant, while Coeymans limestone can be seen in the upper portion of the cave near the entrance. Coeymans limestone is more difficult to dissolve than the Manlius variety, so the water naturally chose a lower path through the Manlius layer. As a result, almost perfectly flat ceilings can be seen in parts of the cavern, which are actually the underside of the Coeymans limestone layer. Rondout waterred is the cream-colored rock that runs along the underground stream.
Scientists believe all of these rock layers were laid down by the ancient, extinct sea during the Silurian and Devonian periods of our Earth's formation. They are all sedimentary rock, formed by layers of deposits which settle out of a body of water and are then compressed into solid rock. To give you an idea of the age of these rocks, scientists estimate the Silurian Age began about 435 million years ago and ended when the Devonian Age began around 395 million years ago.
While there are a few fossils visible in the cavern walls, the main fossil beds lie in the layers of limestone above the cavern ceiling. This means the rock from which Howe Caverns is carved is older than most fossils. But the building process in Howe Caverns is never done! Nature is still hard at work in the great cave - as proven by the fact that we still hear, see and feel the droplets of water falling - and the cavern's face is always changing. It changes so slowly that the smudges left by smoking torches nearly a century ago can still be seen on the glowing flowstone walls today.

As smartphone usage surges, the cell tower behemoth American Tower Corp. plans to invest $4.8 billion to gain a much bigger stake of the lucrative business of delivering high-speed, wireless data.
The Boston-based company has agreed to buy Global Tower Partners of Boca Raton, Fla., for $3.3 billion in cash, and assume $1.5 billion of debt, to acquire some 5,400 domestic towers in places such as New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., in anticipation that all major wireless carriers will continue to boost their infrastructure to meet consumer demands for speedy access to the Web via mobile devices.
The deal increases American Tower's wireless tower count by 25 percent in the United States, adding to the roughly 56,000 towers that it owns globally.

STATE HOUSE -- College students juggling classwork and jobs to pay the bills were given a pep talk Monday by one of the lawmakers with the greatest sway over financial aid levels in the state budget.
"Don't hesitate to call upon your local rep, to call upon your local senator and let them know what's on your mind, and what's important to each and every one of you, and how you feel that they can make the state better," House Speaker Robert DeLeo told the students from area colleges.
He said, "It is my hope that upon graduation from one of Massachusetts's fine higher educational institutions you will choose to stay here in Massachusetts, and continue to be part of this incredible environment. And it is also my hope that the Legislature can continue to provide robust financial aid resources and economic investments to help make this goal a reality."
The students from Babson, Emmanuel, Merrimac and Newbury colleges -- to name a few -- were in the State House to lobby lawmakers for more funding.
Narimane Khaled, an aerospace engineering student who is graduating one year early from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, said her family had moved to the city to support her educational endeavor, but her work-study job and another job left her little time.
"I didn't enjoy my college experience at all. I spent all of it studying and working," Khaled told the News Service.
Jason McKinney, of Worcester, said he hadn't anticipated the "high cost" of WPI, and said his family doesn't have the means to co-sign loans.
"I'm basically on my own right now when it comes to that," the freshman told the News Service. A robotics-engineering and computer science student, he said he has taken work at Metso Automation to make ends meet.
Sen. Sal DiDomenico, an Everett Democrat who grew up in Cambridge, said monetary concerns had prevented him from completing his education at Boston College on time.
"I was in a similar position myself not too long ago. Going to college, not sure how I was going to pay for it, having three siblings behind me that were also going to go to college," DiDomenico said.
The assistant vice chairman of Senate Ways and Means, DiDomenico said he went to BC full-time for two years, and then went to the Woods College of Advancing Studies at night while working.
Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts CEO Richard Doherty said the Board of Higher Education recommended a $9 million or $10 million increase in the budget for financial aid and state scholarships, which is currently at $90.6 million.
Doherty said AICUM supports the same level of increase and said he expects a smaller bump, such as the $3 million increase the student funding received last year.
"Too premature to say; have to look at the budget as a whole; but I think you realize the emphasis that I placed on higher education," DeLeo said when asked whether he also wants a $9 million increase.
DeLeo has said the House budget will include more local aid for cities and towns than was included in Gov. Deval Patrick's budget proposal.
Last year, the Legislature and Patrick provided enough funding for state higher education to put a freeze on tuitions and fees in the UMass system, and the goal laid out by UMass President Robert Caret had been for a two-year freeze combined with more state funding.
"It's too early to say, but I would say that's one of the issues that we are taking a look at," DeLeo said when asked about whether there will be a second year of no payment increases for state school students.
On Monday at an event in the Great Hall, DeLeo praised the private colleges and universities that make up much of the educational landscape in Massachusetts, and help educate people entering the science, technology, engineering and math fields.
"More than 70 percent of students entering STEM fields come from the Commonwealth's independent colleges," DeLeo said.
DeLeo advised the students to tell lawmakers why more funding would be beneficial to them, and DiDomenico suggested young people in general could have more of a say.
"We all know that senior citizens get a lot of attention up here. They get a lot of attention because they vote," DiDomenico said, advising the young people in the room to take an active role in the government.
An East Boston native who now lives in Winthrop, DeLeo attended Northeastern University, where he told the News Service he had a co-op job with American Airlines.
"First job was working with American Airlines, nothing at all to do with my major, but at the same token it really gave me the opportunity to travel throughout the country. So it was a great job as a college student: twelve bucks to go to California," DeLeo said.

It's no secret that Hoosiers – and Hoosier politicians – disagree on the roles labor unions should play in the 21st century work place. So-called right-to-work legislation in the Indiana House was effectively killed last month after Democrat lawmakers in that body left the state, literally. In doing so, they denied that body a quorum and added Indiana to a list of states in which lawmakers have fled their seats to stop legislation they opposed.
It can't be said enough times. Politicians need to put aside party politics and start reaching across the aisles for compromise.
If the past decade has taught us anything, it's that our politicians need to wake up, listen to the people and start taking suggestions instead of fighting.
Recent disagreements in Wisconsin and in our own state have seen a slightly disturbing event occur; Democrats refusing to vote on issues and fleeing state capitals for hiding instead of debating the issues at hand.
That our public school system has severe flaws is a popular premise in government and among many education reformers. And $300 million in recent spending cuts to Indiana's public schools necessitated by the state's need to balance its recession-riddled budget certainly haven't helped solve the schools' problems.
In the usual scheme of things, a sickness enters a body, then spreads. In the body known as the Tell City-Troy Township School Corp. Board of School Trustees, we may have just seen the beginning of a reverse process.
To say the board as a governing body is ill might take the metaphor too far, but we would like to see others catch what Flynn took to their table Tuesday.
The Perry County Council will meet Wednesday evening to discuss changes to the retirement fund currently offered to deputies employed by the county sheriff's department. As The News has reported, Sheriff Lee Chestnut wants the county to fund a transition from the current program under the Indiana Public Employees Retirement Fund to another geared toward police officers and firefighters.
Alabama publisher NewSouth Books announced at the beginning of January that the company would publish a version of the Mark Twain classic "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" without any of the offensive terms, including the "n-word" which appears in the original novel 219 times.
One of famed cowboy philosopher Will Rogers' best known quotes is his reply when asked which political party he belonged to. "I'm not a member of any organized political party — I'm a Democrat," he said.
One might say the same thing about both major American parties now, as one would not expect an organized party to try to overthrow some of its most powerful and respected members.
We agree with Gov. Mitch Daniels' assertion in his State of the State Address last week that the state has no more critical a duty than educating its children.
We disagree, however, on one of the methods he touts as an improvement to public education.
Two announcements from City Hall over the past week give us hope that Tell City's downtown has a bright future.
A story in last Thursday's issue reported on the likely sale of the former Dat's Kajun restaurant to Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, a nonprofit group dedicated to preserving buildings with significant history or architectural value. Many of us remember the building at the corner of Main and Pestalozzi streets as the Glow Room Tavern and we've all seen the imposing structure's gradual decline over the past few years.
As we turn the final page on one year and begin another, it's natural to look forward to the months ahead, as well as recall the events of the past year.
We would like to mark the new year by extending our thanks to the men and women who left public office last week. Without a doubt they served us well.
Editor's Note: In the months before the Christmas of 1897, an 8-year-old girl named Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the New York Sun, asking if there really was a Santa Claus. Edward P. Mitchell gave the assignment to Francis P. Church, whose reply to Virginia appeared in the Sept. 21, 1897, edition of the Sun. Virginia's letter and Church's reply, as it appeared in the Sun, are reprinted below. Virginia O'Hanlon Douglas died May 13, 1971.
Is there a Santa Claus?
Patriots rose to the occasion last week, mustering from homes and farms to honor the life of a fallen brother.
They lined Tell City's streets Thursday as the cortege carrying the flag-draped coffin of Barry Jarvis made its slow journey to Deer Creek Church. Students, store workers, old men and women, even preschool students stood outside, watching and weeping. Many held flags and placed hands over their hearts.
Tuesday marks the 69th anniversary of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. This editorial was written by Cannelton News Editor Bob Cummings and published Dec. 6, 1960. At that time, the county was home to hundreds of World War II veterans. The number of living vets who fought in the war are far fewer today, but the relevance of Pearl Harbor Day remains. Cummings' editorial is published here in its original words.
Cannelton News Editorial Published Dec. 6, 1960
Thursday saw Congress sign a new childhood nutrition bill that will now be presented to President Obama to sign into law. You may have heard of the bill; it's the same one First Lady Michelle Obama is backing in which new nutrition standards will be set for foods sold in schools. According to TheHill.com, the $4.5 million bill will also expand the eligibility of children in need to participate in school-meal programs and give schools a 6-cent increase to help cafeterias serve healthier meals.
Thanksgiving leftovers may still be with us, but Black Friday is gone and along with it the hoopla, big sales and crowded stores. What is left is a Christmas season with 26 days left.
While plenty of gifts were purchased over the weekend, most of us still have plenty of shopping to do and we encourage our readers to do most of that here at home in Perry County.
Watching government at work is a lot like watching children interact. First, we have elections, which are contests to see who can grab the most power. A burst piñata springs quickly to mind in looking for a similar event in childhood. Votes are the candy, and many of those grappling for them will resort to any measure necessary to ensure they gather the most.
The Cannelton Library's recent decision to pursue a merger with the Tell City-Perry County Library is good news for patrons of both in the short term, but there could be problems in the future.
Both library buildings would remain open, and patrons of each would have access to all the volumes of both. Though the Tell City library is larger, each has some books that the other does not. So that means patrons of both libraries would have more choices of reading material.
Now that midterm elections are over, the elected politicians will be expected to carry out their constituents' demands. But it's difficult to even understand what those demands are. Did people vote for a candidate because they voted straight ticket or based on one issue such as abortion, gun control or states' rights?
We do know the issues that were discussed in candidates' speeches, debates and ads and can speculate those were the issues in voters' minds when determining whom to vote for.
With the turning of the calendar to November comes a time to celebrate, give thanks and pay homage to those who helped in the foundation of our nation. November may be the one month of the year when Native Americans play a prominent role in our thinking due to the history of the Thanksgiving holiday, but American Indian heritage goes well beyond the role of European helper.
This month is Native American Heritage Month. It's a time to recognize the various nations that called the lands of America home long before European settlers arrived on the shores.
Many white people avoid neighborhoods where the residents are predominantly black. Many black people know to avoid certain white neighborhoods.
Racism has not disappeared from America, and isn't likely to for a very long time.
So we were not surprised to learn that a news analyst for National Public Radio said, "when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."

Rank insignia
this wiki
Rank insignia are generally used by species and cultures that wear uniforms. In humanoids, rank can be displayed by stripes (such as braid) on the sleeves or epaulet, or in the form of pins (like pips and lozenges), embroidered insignia, and patches. These of course differ between civilizations.
Lists of rank insigniaEdit
- Cardassian ranks
- Bajoran ranks
- Ferengi uniforms
- Klingon ranks
- MACO ranks
- Romulan ranks
- Starfleet ranks
- Terran Empire ranks
- Vulcan ranks
Braid (or rank stripes) are bands of fabric or metallic material designed to denote rank on a uniform. Officers of Earth's United States Navy wore rank stripes on sleeves and epaulets. That system was similar to insignia used in some eras of Starfleet history.
The Earth Starfleet of the 22nd century used rank stripes on dress uniforms for officers and on the standard jackets of flag officers. The mirror universe's Terran Starfleet used stripes on the standard uniform epaulets for officers, and both the epaulets and sleeves for flag officers.
In the 2250s, Starfleet used stripes of braid for both officers and non-commissioned officers, on the sleeves of standard uniforms and on the epaulets of dress uniforms. By the 2260s, only officers above ensign wore sleeve rank stripes, and only on standard uniforms. The 2260s dress uniforms denoted rank by braid around the collar, again only for officers. In the 2270s, all officers wore rank stripes, either on the sleeves or epaulet, depending on the uniform.
Chevron and rockerEdit
Chevrons and rockers are stripe insignia that were used in many of Earth's land, air, and naval forces to denote enlisted rank.
Epaulettes are devices worn on the shoulder, quite frequently to denote rank or grade, or perhaps honor.
The lozenge is what is commonly referred to as a diamond. It is found in a deck of playing cards, and in the rank of a first sergeant.
Pips are the small metal pins worn to denote rank, particularly on 24th century Starfleet uniforms.
Stars, in the vernacular of rank insignia, are insignia, often used to denote flag officers. The United States armed forces used groups of these insignia for generals and admirals. A similar approach was used by Starfleet, as flag officer epaulet insignia in the 2270s.
The US Navy also used stars in conjunction with chevrons in their enlisted insignia, as opposed to the rockers used with chevrons in equivalent US armed forces.

As anyone who frequents the bingo parlors knows, the facade of genteel decorum drops once the first game is won — especially if it's won by that bitch Eulalie. The first cry of "Bingo!" angries up the blood something fierce, and all bets are off from that point forward. Now, imagine what would happen if you throw semi-clad young women into the mix — OK, now stop imagining. The Randy Dandies present Burlesque Bingo from 9 to 11 p.m. at the Fountain on Locust (3037 Locust Street; 314-535-7800), and it promises all the thrills of cutthroat bingo, with the added titillation of burlesque performers Mimi LeYu, Faith McQueen and Naughty Bits, plus silly prizes — all this for $5 at the door. The Fountain on Locust will be mixing up retro cocktail specials starting at 8 p.m., making this a triple threat start to your holiday weekend — broads, booze and bingo are in the Declaration of Independence after all. Benjamin Franklin added it to the "pursuit of happiness" clause when Button Gwinnett wasn't looking.

Hey, it's Friday!
I think you know by now that one of my hobbies is baking, as well as shooting the baking process. I'll
be adding a set of 16 recipe cards, selected from my "Baked" posts, in a cloth bag, to my shop next week. As a kind of happy-friday-thank-you, I'm offering one up as a give away. All you need to do is leave a comment, to be added to the draw. That's it. Nothing else. I will send it anywhere in the world. I'll make a random draw on June 8th.
Also, I did a very simple, and inexpensive, d.i.y. over at one of my favourite blogs, Poppytalk. If you have some time, pop over! Here's a sneak peek:
I hope you all have nice weekends where ever you are! Back soon.

Our second chance to see this year's Hawks in action provides us with several intriguing match-ups and things to look for. After the reserves stole the spotlight in a comeback win against the Chargers last week, my attention will shift back to the Hawks' starting lineup. Tarvaris Jackson saw limited action against the Chargers and probably will see slightly more time this week. I'm looking for him to move the Seahawks down the field for a score against his former team in any of his drives. Disrupted by a relentless pass-rush last week, Jackson could use a bit of pass-blocking improvement from his two rookies on the right side of the O-line. The Vikings have had a stout run defense for the past several seasons, but their defense has often been vulnerable against the pass. For what I'm most interested in seeing, that's perfect: Tarvaris leading the team down the field on a controlled, efficient drive with mixed run and pass for ten plays.
While being explosive on offense is something fans love to see, I think what we need to know is the following: Can Jackson make enough good decisions to consistently get the team down the field this season? Offensive consistency will be crucial for the Seahawks if they plan on making a run at the playoffs.
Last week, the Seahawks looked like they had good push on their offensive line, but their running plays were often foiled by defenders knifing between blockers or pursuing from behind the play. The Vikings have one of the best D-lines in football, so it will be interesting to see how the Hawks can run against them.
I want to see more of Marshawn Lynch this week. I'm all for keeping starters fresh and only letting them play a quarter or so, but with the depth the Seahawks have at running back, I don't think Lynch will wear down much as the season goes along. Leon Washington was given extra carries last week as he had been promised, but he's not the one the Hawks will rely on for the majority of the team's ground game. All I'm asking for is a few nice runs from Lynch that show me he has the skill set to be productive in the team's new running scheme. I'm sure he will be productive this year, but again, I just want to see what the team will look like this year. In my mind, it just doesn't really have an identity yet. Fans expect the Colts and Saints to use a spread passing attack, for the Steelers to pound the ball on the ground, and for the Jets and Eagles to blitz. Fans have no realistic expectations at all of what the Seahawks will do.
On offense, the Vikings boast the electric running skills of Adrian Peterson, who is arguably the best running back in the league. With the departure of Brett Favre, Sidney Rice, and Jackson, their aerial assault should be even less well-rehearsed than the Seahawks'. The Seahawks were torn apart while Phillip Rivers was on the field last week, but there is no quarterback of his caliber on the Vikings. If they get burned again this week, they have no excuse.
The Seahawks strengthened their secondary a couple days ago by adding ex-Packer Atari Bigby. Bigby is the veteran safety that I had long been expecting the Seahawks to sign. Coach Carroll has been talking about how happy he is with the play of second year safety Kam Chancellor, but when looking at the roster, it was still clear that safety was a position in need of more depth. Earl Thomas was the only safety on the roster with any career starts in the NFL, and he was a rookie last year. Regardless of how much potential Pete Carroll felt like he had in the secondary, I still felt that a secondary as young as the one the Seahawks had might prove to be the weak link of the team.
Though Bigby has missed the first few weeks of training camp, he is expected to challenge Chancellor for the starting strong safety job. Bigby played for the Packers for the previous five seasons after joining them as an undrafted rookie. He has recorded 164 career tackles, or almost twice as many as the rest of the Seahawks' safeties combined. Safeties are often ignored by fans of the NFL (Quick! Name the best Seahawk safety of the last ten years!), but the Seahawks desperately needed someone of Bigby's caliber to provide "not as risky as a rookie" depth. Bigby is probably the most important addition the Seahawks have made to their defense so far this year.
I think the Seahawks will beat the Vikings by a score of something like 24-14. The game's in Seattle. The Vikings missed the playoffs last year and completely overhauled their offense. Neither team attacks down the field too much, and drives should be long and clock-consuming. Honestly, it doesn't matter too much to me what the score is as long as T-Jack and the first-team offense look good, or even improved.
Go Hawks!

Self-advocacy is the ability to identify and explain your needs.
In high school, your advocates were your parents and teachers.
In college, you must become your own advocate.
A successful self-advocate recognizes the need for self-direction and independence.
Step 1: Recognize that college success or failure is your responsibility.
Step 2: Understand your disability and learn ways to compensate. Learn how to explain your disability and needs to others.
Step 3: Develop good communication skills to request accommodations and services.
Step 4: Know when you need help and ask for it. Understand that it is OK to use appropriate accommodations.
Step 5: Know and understand your strengths and areas where you need to improve.
Step 6: Develop and use mature social and personal skills.
Step 7: Be organized. It relieves stress and demonstrates good planning ability.
Here are some helpful suggestions to help you be a successful self advocate:
- Use a calendar or day planner to record appointments, class schedules, work schedules, exam dates, and assignment due dates.
- Plan a reasonable school, study, social, and work schedule. Allow time for rest and recreation.
- Establish a regular student schedule and study 2-3 hours for each hour you spend in class.
- Organize long term projects in a step-by-step manner. Schedule deadlines for each step in your day planner. Learn and practice time management skills.
- Pay close attention to important information provided in the class syllabus, typically given to you on the first day of class.
- Attend class each day and on time. Participate and ask questions.
- Discuss and arrange DSPS-approved classroom or test accommodations at the beginning of each semester, with your instructor during their office hours.
- Allow time for the unexpected, such as illness, transportation glitches, or work schedule changes.
- Meet with your instructors and/or DSPS counselor when you are first having difficulty – do not wait until "disaster strikes".

This guide is intended to assist users in developing Java plugins for Maven.
You will typically name your plugin <yourplugin>-maven-plugin.
Calling it maven-<yourplugin>-plugin (note "Maven" is at the beginning of the plugin name) is strongly discouraged since it's a reserved naming pattern for official Apache Maven plugins maintained by the Apache Maven team with groupId org.apache.maven.plugins. Using this naming pattern is an infringement of the Apache Maven Trademark.
In this section we will build a simple plugin which takes no parameters and simply displays a message on the screen when run. Along the way, we will cover the basics of setting up a project to create a plugin, the minimal contents of a Java mojo, and a couple ways to execute the mojo.
At its simplest, a Java mojo consists simply of a single class. There is no requirement for multiple classes like EJBs, although a plugin which contains a number of similar mojos is likely to use an abstract superclass for the mojos to consolidate code common to all mojos.
When processing the source tree to find mojos, plugin-tools looks for classes with either @Mojo Java 5 annotation or "goal" javadoc annotation. Any class with this annotation are included in the plugin configuration file.
Listed below is a simple mojo class which has no parameters. This is about as simple as a mojo can be. After the listing is a description of the various parts of the source.
package sample.plugin; import org.apache.maven.plugin.AbstractMojo; import org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException; import org.apache.maven.plugins.annotations.Mojo; /** * Says "Hi" to the user. * */ @Mojo( name = "sayhi") public class GreetingMojo extends AbstractMojo { public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException { getLog().info( "Hello, world." ); } }
All Mojo annotations are described by the Mojo API Specification.
Once the mojos have been written for the plugin, it is time to build the plugin. To do this properly, the project's descriptor needs to have a number of settings set properly:
groupId | This is the group ID for the plugin, and should match the common prefix to the packages used by the mojos |
artifactId | This is the name of the plugin |
version | This is the version of the plugin |
packaging | This should be set to "maven-plugin" |
dependencies | A dependency must be declared to the Maven Plugin Tools API to resolve "AbstractMojo" and related classes |
Listed below is an illustration of the sample mojo project's pom with the parameters set as described in the above table:
<project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>sample.plugin</groupId> <artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>maven-plugin</packaging> <name>Sample Parameter-less Maven Plugin</name> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId> <artifactId>maven-plugin-api</artifactId> <version>3.0</version> </dependency> <!-- dependencies to annotations --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId> <artifactId>maven-plugin-annotations</artifactId> <version>3.4</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </project>
There are few goals which are defined with the maven-plugin packaging as part of a standard build lifecycle:
compile | Compiles the Java code for the plugin and builds the plugin descriptor |
test | Runs the plugin's unit tests |
package | Builds the plugin jar |
install | Installs the plugin jar in the local repository |
deploy | Deploys the plugin jar to the remote repository |
The most direct means of executing your new plugin is to specify the plugin goal directly on the command line. To do this, you need to configure the hello-maven-plugin plugin in you project:
... <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>sample.plugin</groupId> <artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </plugin> </plugins> </build> ...
And, you need to specify a fully-qualified goal in the form of:
mvn groupId:artifactId:version:goal
For example, to run the simple mojo in the sample plugin, you would enter "mvn sample.plugin:hello-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:sayhi" on the command line.
Tips: version is not required to run a standalone goal.
There are several ways to reduce the amount of required typing:
<pluginGroups> <pluginGroup>sample.plugin</pluginGroup> </pluginGroups>
At this point, you can run the mojo with "mvn hello:sayhi".
You can also configure your plugin to attach specific goals to a particular phase of the build lifecycle. Here is an example:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>sample.plugin</groupId> <artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>sayhi</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
This causes the simple mojo to be executed whenever Java code is compiled. For more information on binding a mojo to phases in the lifecycle, please refer to the Build Lifecycle document.
To create a new plugin project, you could using the Mojo archetype with the following command line:
mvn archetype:generate \ -DgroupId=sample.plugin \ -DartifactId=hello-maven-plugin \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-plugin
It is unlikely that a mojo will be very useful without parameters. Parameters provide a few very important functions:
Defining a parameter is as simple as creating an instance variable in the mojo and adding the proper annotations. Listed below is an example of a parameter for the simple mojo:
/** * The greeting to display. */ @Parameter( property = "sayhi.greeting", defaultValue = "Hello World!" ) private String greeting;
The portion before the annotations is the description of the parameter. The parameter annotation identifies the variable as a mojo parameter. The defaultValue parameter of the annotation defines the default value for the variable. This value can include expressions which reference the project, such as "${project.version}" (more can be found in the "Parameter Expressions" document). The property parameter can be used to allow configuration of the mojo parameter from the command line by referencing a system property that the user sets via the -D option.
Configuring the parameter values for a plugin is done in a Maven project within the pom.xml file as part of defining the plugin in the project. An example of configuring a plugin:
<plugin> <groupId>sample.plugin</groupId> <artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <configuration> <greeting>Welcome</greeting> </configuration> </plugin>
In the configuration section, the element name ("greeting") is the parameter name and the contents of the element ("Welcome") is the value to be assigned to the parameter.
Note: More details can be found in the Guide to Configuring Plugins.
Listed below are the various types of simple variables which can be used as parameters in your mojos, along with any rules on how the values in the POM are interpreted.
This includes variables typed boolean and Boolean. When reading the configuration, the text "true" causes the parameter to be set to true and all other text causes the parameter to be set to false. Example:
/** * My boolean. */ @Parameter private boolean myBoolean;
This includes variables typed byte, Byte, int, Integer, long, Long, short, and Short. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is converted to an integer value using either Integer.parseInt() or the valueOf() method of the appropriate class. This means that the strings must be valid decimal integer values, consisting only of the digits 0 to 9 with an optional - in front for a negative value. Example:
/** * My Integer. */ @Parameter private Integer myInteger;
This includes variables typed double, Double, float, and Float. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is converted to binary form using the valueOf() method for the appropriate class. This means that the strings can take on any format specified in section 3.10.2 of the Java Language Specification. Some samples of valid values are 1.0 and 6.02E+23.
/** * My Double. */ @Parameter private Double myDouble;
This includes variables typed Date. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is converted using one of the following date formats: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S a" (a sample date is "2005-10-06 2:22:55.1 PM") or "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssa" (a sample date is "2005-10-06 2:22:55PM"). Note that parsing is done using DateFormat.parse() which allows some leniency in formatting. If the method can parse a date and time out of what is specified it will do so even if it doesn't exactly match the patterns above. Example:
/** * My Date. */ @Parameter private Date myDate;
<myDate>2005-10-06 2:22:55.1 PM</myDate>
This includes variables typed File. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is used as the path to the desired file or directory. If the path is relative (does not start with / or a drive letter like C:), the path is relative to the directory containing the POM. Example:
/** * My File. */ @Parameter private File myFile;
This includes variables typed URL. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is used as the URL. The format must follow the RFC 2396 guidelines, and looks like any web browser URL (scheme://host:port/path/to/file). No restrictions are placed on the content of any of the parts of the URL while converting the URL.
/** * My URL. */ @Parameter private URL myURL;
This includes variables typed char, Character, StringBuffer, and String. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is used as the value to be assigned to the parameter. For char and Character parameters, only the first character of the text is used.
Enumeration type parameters can also be used. First you need to define your enumeration type and afterwards you can use the enumeration type in the parameter definition:
public enum Color { GREEN, RED, BLUE } /** * My Enum */ @Parameter private Color myColor;
So lets have a look like you can use such enumeration in your pom configuration:
You can also use elements from the enumeration type as defaultValues like the following:
public enum Color { GREEN, RED, BLUE } /** * My Enum */ @Parameter(defaultValue = "GREEN") private Color myColor;
Listed below are the various types of composite objects which can be used as parameters in your mojos, along with any rules on how the values in the POM are interpreted. In general, the class of the object created to hold the parameter value (as well as the class for each element within the parameter value) is determined as follows (the first step which yields a valid class is used):
Once the type for the element is defined, the text in the XML file is converted to the appropriate type of object
Array type parameters are configured by specifying the parameter multiple times. Example:
/** * My Array. */ @Parameter private String[] myArray;
<myArray> <param>value1</param> <param>value2</param> </myArray>
This category covers any class which implements java.util.Collection such as ArrayList or HashSet. These parameters are configured by specifying the parameter multiple times just like an array. Example:
/** * My List. */ @Parameter private List myList;
<myList> <param>value1</param> <param>value2</param> </myList>
For details on the mapping of the individual collection elements, see Mapping Lists.
This category covers any class which implements java.util.Map such as HashMap but does not implement java.util.Properties. These parameters are configured by including XML tags in the form <key>value</key> in the parameter configuration. Example:
/** * My Map. */ @Parameter private Map myMap;
<myMap> <key1>value1</key1> <key2>value2</key2> </myMap>
This category covers any map which implements java.util.Properties. These parameters are configured by including XML tags in the form <property><name>myName</name> <value>myValue</value> </property> in the parameter configuration. Example:
/** * My Properties. */ @Parameter private Properties myProperties;
<myProperties> <property> <name>propertyName1</name> <value>propertyValue1</value> <property> <property> <name>propertyName2</name> <value>propertyValue2</value> <property> </myProperties>
This category covers any class which does not implement java.util.Map, java.util.Collection, or java.util.Dictionary. Example:
/** * My Object. */ @Parameter private MyObject myObject;
<myObject> <myField>test</myField> </myObject>
Please see Mapping Complex Objects for details on the strategy used to configure those kind of parameters.
You are not restricted to using private field mapping which is good if you are trying to make you Mojos resuable outside the context of Maven. Using the example above we could name our private fields using the underscore convention and provide setters that the configuration mapping mechanism can use. So our Mojo would look like the following:
public class MyQueryMojo extends AbstractMojo { @Parameter(property="url") private String _url; @Parameter(property="timeout") private int _timeout; @Parameter(property="options") private String[] _options; public void setUrl( String url ) { _url = url; } public void setTimeout( int timeout ) { _timeout = timeout; } public void setOptions( String[] options ) { _options = options; } public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException { ... } }
Note the specification of the property name for each parameter which tells Maven what setter and getter to use when the field's name does not match the intended name of the parameter in the plugin configuration.

"Dragon Age: Origins will be released on November 3rd in North America and November 6th in Europe on the Xbox 360 videogame entertainment system and PC," BioWare's Chris Priestly stated. "The PLAYSTATION 3 version will follow later in November." nope
No reason was given for the later PlayStation 3 release. Previously, all versions of the fantasy RPG were expected to hit simultaneously on October 20 in North America.The studio denied the delay into November just yesterday, with BioWare then telling Shacknews that it was "still targeting an October 20 release date" and "if the release date changes, we'll issue a press release."

Unlike another companies sports titles on the Xbox 360, 2K Sports has done things right. There's not a single feature missing from this upgraded edition of NHL 2K6, and as an already beautiful game of hockey, there's little else they could expect. You'll be getting the same game you would on the Xbox; everything simply looks a touch better.
There's hardly anything to complain about in this hockey sim, and there hasn't been for a few years. The engine is easily the most realistic and natural feeling of the current string of NHL titles. The feeling of gliding across the ice is unmatched, and the limited impact of basic hits makes the big ones actually hurt. Coaching players you're not in control of with the d-pad is great, and the AI allows for plays to be set up in your zone properly.
If you're desperate for something new though, you won't find much. The biggest change is "crease control," finally offering players the opportunity to handle their own goalie. It's sad to think that Blades of Steel on the NES was the last one to offer this feature and make it work 17 years ago. In NHL 2K6, with a quick press of the right analog stick, you'll enter into a view behind the net. There you'll need to keep your vision on the puck handler. When shot, move the analog stick to the puck and make the save.
It's an addition that offers control in the single player game. The switch in cameras is not jarring, and the AI that takes over is intelligent enough not to block your view. In multi-player, it's a feature you'll want turned off. Here the problems are obvious, and the stuttering style of play that is causes isn't worth the extra effort. The opposite player is blinded by meters and a vision cone (right out of Madden NFL 06).
That may be a disappointment, but 2K has added enough multi-player modes to take care of that. The franchise mode is accessible to four players, and its in-depth play is a necessity for die-hard fans. The team chemistry feature (keep players motivated and satisfied when they have concerns) has been lifted from NBA 2K5 and fits right in. You'll also be hiring coaches and staff that can make a critical contribution. Party mode offers a unique set of mini-games, borrowed from last year's title. Mini-rink hockey is arguably the most enjoyable, a two-on-two speed fest with plenty of goals and countless brutal collisions.
A big step has been taken in this franchise's presentation. A lot has been borrowed from the eliminated NFL 2K series, including fans walking through the concession area, finding seats, and celebrating. It's a stretch at times (who takes a sign to a game that says "visit NHL.com?"), but adds to the already strong feeling of being in the stadium.
The largest graphical upgrade has been applied to the ice since the player models were already flawless (you'll notice the jersey's look sharper). The reflections, for the first time, make each stadium unique. When you can see the Red Wing's banners on the ice, you know that you're in Joe Luis Arena. It's a subtle touch that goes a long way to appeasing NHL fans. It's not just a bunch of seats anymore.
The 5.1 audio is put to outstanding use as well. All audio from the PA system comes from the rear speakers. This prevents the commentary interfering, and the mix is natural. Bob Cole and Harry Neale call the game, though they fall behind which has more to do with the pace of the game than the coding.
When it comes time to rationalize things though, this is the same game as on the current Xbox. The extra $30 for shinier ice, smarter AI, and tweaked goal keeping probably isn't worth it for most NHL fans. Hockey was almost certainly the best represented of the four major sports in video games as far as realism is concerned, and this non-substantial upgrade seems unnecessary. NHL 2K6 is a judgment call on a purchase even though this is the best hockey video game to date.
NHL 2K6 is a rated E 10 (10 years+) by the ESRB for violence. This game can also be found on: Xbox, PS2.

So did you actually speak to any long time climbers in the Humboldt/Trinity area to see if you actually did the FA of this? (Just because there is no guidebook doesn't mean it hasn't been done.)Climbers have been going to the trinities for years now, I would be surprised if it took until last week to climb this route. |

Maybe we were not the first ascenders .... although the loose rock, plants, and dirt made it feel like an FA! No disrespect was meant towards those who have climbed in the Trinities for years. These people have not been the easiest to find. |

Try asking Tom. He's usually at Far North on Wednesdays when the weather isn't good enough outside. He knows about most of the routes in the Trinities. |

When I was in the area, I never heard tell of anyone doing this. It was one of those that we'd scoped, but never got to...Way to go! |

Right on, my purpose wasn't to scold anyone. Just didn't want any disrespect thrown toward anyone. I'm stoked you all got out and hopped on something unknown and obscure and finished it. |
