Republicans at congressional district and multi-county assemblies Friday lauded their GOP colleagues for lifting a ban on concealed weapons at the Coors Events Center, a move one state senator called a "victory for freedom."
But University of Colorado officials said there never was such a ban at the arena for the Colorado Republican State Assembly and Convention, which is being held there Saturday.
During a morning congressional district assembly at the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield, attendees said they heard an announcement that the weekend assembly and convention would be a gun-free event.
Later in the day, however, two CU regents clarified the earlier announcement, saying that concealed weapons would indeed be allowed.
Some party members, such as state Sen. Greg Brophy, a gubernatorial candidate, took the announcement to mean that the regents had lifted the ban on concealed weapons.
Brophy, who did not respond to a Camera interview request, tweeted, "Big victory for freedom. CCW ban lifted for tomorrow great work by Regents Bosley and Sharkey #2A."
Contract explained
The Colorado Supreme Court in 2012 overturned a longtime ban on concealed weapons on CU campuses, which led the Board of Regents to revise its weapons policy to reflect the ruling.
Current university policy states that people with the proper permit may carry a concealed handgun on campus, except at ticketed events such as basketball or football games or concerts, and in most university dormitories.
The university designated certain housing buildings for people with concealed weapons.
Because the GOP assembly and convention is not a ticketed event, and because there is no mention of concealed weapons in the party's contract with the university, there was never a ban on concealed guns at the Coors Events Center for the assembly, said CU spokesman Ryan Huff.
"It is not specified in the contract whether or not concealed weapons are allowed, therefore, since it's not a CU-ticketed event, those concealed weapons are allowed," he said. "There was never a change in position on this. That was the position from day one."
A group supporting gun control measures is collecting the roughly 86,000 signatures needed for a November ballot measure that would ban concealed weapons on public campuses in Colorado.
Regent Sue Sharkey, R-Castle Rock, who attended Friday's events in Broomfield, said GOP assembly organizers were told that concealed weapons would not be allowed at the arena today.
"The state party had been told that concealed carry would not be allowed in the assembly, and that's what we challenged," she said.
Huff said he didn't know where that information came from, adding that the contract was signed by all parties March 28.
Possible misunderstanding
When she heard that the party had been told concealed weapons were not permitted, Sharkey said she called Patrick O'Rourke, the university's most senior legal counsel, and asked him to read through the contract.
Sharkey said O'Rourke confirmed what she knew to be accurate — that concealed weapons are, in fact, permitted.
Sharkey and GOP chairman Ryan Call, along with Regent Steve Bosley, R-Longmont, told attendees about their ability to carry concealed weapons.
Applause ensued.
"It's the Second Amendment," Sharkey said. "Certainly, we don't want our Second Amendment rights taken away from us. When someone has a concealed carry permit, they have the right to be carrying a weapon, and on our university campuses, concealed carry is allowed."
Bosley said it's possible there was a misunderstanding between the assembly organizers and someone on the Boulder campus. He added that contracts to use CU facilities are very long.
He said he didn't think the announcement would mean any more or fewer concealed weapons at the Coors Events Center today.
"These types of meetings have been held at fairgrounds and other large venues, where it would never even come into thought or play," he said. "I know some people who have carried a gun since concealed carry was permitted, for I don't know how many years, and nobody would ever know. So I think it's a non-event."

Tebow - ESPN
ATLANTA (AP) — Tim Tebow has his next football job — talking about the sport on TV.
The Heisman Trophy winner and outspoken Christian has been hired as a college football analyst for the new SEC Network, but he still hopes to play quarterback in the NFL.
Tebow will appear on "SEC Nation," a pregame show that will travel to a different campus each week after the channel launches in August. ESPN, which runs the network, says the multiyear deal "will not preclude him from continuing to pursue playing opportunities in the NFL."
Tebow did not play in the league in 2013 after he was cut by the Patriots in August. In the span of just over one season, he went from a national sensation who led the Denver Broncos to the playoffs, to a backup, to out of the NFL.
Tebow will make his ESPN debut during pregame coverage of the BCS championship Jan. 6.

I have a 1985 Ford F-150 I need to get rid of, so I can fix my BMW. There is nothing wrong with it, except some cosmetic stuff. The windshield is cracked, dent in passenger door, and a few dings on the bed. Also, the lock pin in the tilt steering wheel is broken, but I priced one and they arent much, and fixing it is a breeze.If you pay in cash, I might take less. If I have to wait on a check to clear, Ill have to take full price for it. I also need paintball supplies, and would consider knocking off the fair value for the stuff.

Technology is neither good nor evil. We are. It doesn't heal or hurt. We do. It doesn't connect or sever. We do. It doesn't teach or learn. We do.
We are impatient for change. Technology changes quickly. Therefore, technology is an attractive panacea to the problems of teaching and learning.
Let me note that I deeply love gadgets and toys. I love playing video games. I love tweeting. I love carrying a shiny simulacrum of my life in my pocket. However, I do alternate through periods of intense participation and reclusiveness, as I do with reading, dieting, and exercising. Nevertheless, technology is undeniably a part of my life, learning, and teaching.
That being said, here are my concerns about the role of technology in #edreform.
- The federal government's education policies horrify me. We are at a terrifying nexus of purely capitalist accountability and technology. Listening to Arne Duncan speak is like watching Sam Neill in Event Horizon while insomniac during a thunder storm. The federal government is incentivizing the centralization and privatization of public education as the data and evaluation plans called for by RttT and i3 are going to be made possible by vendor software interfacing with vendor software for curriculum, instruction, and testing.
- Blended instruction will create a new complicity with inauthentic education. The mere appearance of 1:1 learning based on algorithmic individualized curricula will lull another generation of students and teachers asleep to change. They will inherit our dreams of relevant learning, community based education, and global learning mediated by social media, but they will not leave their school sites until it's time to go to college or not. Blended instruction will give us the new irrelevance.
- Public education is paying to put itself out of business. Vendors' adaptive instructional algorithms will replace human assessment. Teaching will continue its decades-long slide into boss management instead of servant leadership. Students' computer-moderated productivity will serve as the measure of a schools effectiveness, which will become a program's effectiveness, obviating the need for teachers and schools. I see a computer-educated, standardized populace straight out of Assimov and Vonnegut going to "school" at vendor outlets. The vendors just need to find the right subscription price point to counter infrastructure and personnel costs. Then they can open up their own shops as private, for-profit schools that reap huge financial rewards for themselves – the very same companies that are benefitting right now from beta-testing in public schools. Public education is financing the emergence of private learning centers that will use programs "perfected" at tax-payer expense. Believe it. We're not paying teachers or funding school system positions to build this stuff, or even to develop it in partnership with local universities full of researchers.
- By and large, the authentic, public-school based #edreform camp is talking about technology when it should be organizing civil resistance to consolidated private and federal control of education. Frankly, I find more #edreform blogging and tweeting about technology than I do about change or reasons for it. To be fair, much of what I read is great pedagogy. However, little of it addresses how to effectively resist and counter bad schooling. We're going to have to pay a price for our beliefs, or else we're going to have to pay a price for our inaction. When we're evaluated by vendor's tests, our school boards' decisions to dismiss us are no longer instances of legitimate local control of schools. Public school accountability to private interest is the new nationalism, and we need to be willing to be branded traitors and to be black-listed for challenging that.
[Disclaimer: I'm looking at adaptive reading and math programs to serve as one option for short, daily tutorials for my school's students before they engage in project-based learning in the afternoon.]
Here are my suggestions.
- Everybody write Arne Duncan, just once. Tell him everything you know about teaching and learning. Tell him your stories, Tell him your students' stories. Tell him about all the opportunities you and your students' are losing as our testing regime tightens its grip on curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Tell him your ideas. Tell him how much better you could teach – tell him how much better students could learn – if they weren't fettered to their desks by public education's collective fear of failing the state – a trepidation that surmounts our fear of failing students as people. Write Arne Duncan this summer.
- Join your school improvement committee and/or leadership team. For every new program that your school or division adopts, ask, "So what?" What will this add to our students lives? What will this let them do with the rest of their day? How will this help students help their families and communities? How will it help them start a business or a non-profit organization? How will it help them love school? Demand that your school articulate a common vision for the purpose of education and work towards a culture that aligns school decisions with its vision, even when in conflict with your division. Demand that any amount of blended, adaptive instruction be offset by authentic education, which, of course, can still involve technology.
- Actively resist privatized public education. Look at the programs you have to teach. Ask yourself if you can beat them. If you think you can, go to your administrator and explain how. If you think you can't, learn how. Promise your administrator results that beat the program's results. Trade accountability for freedom. Engage other teachers in your resistance. If your administrator refuses to grant you any freedoms, ask him or her to observe you all the time. Teach the program. Ask to be evaluated on how well you deliver the program rather than by your test results. If your administrator refuses to do that, ask your administrator why your school needs you. Consider finding a school that wants you for what you do instead.
If you teach in a more organic, program-free environment or not, start talks with your students, parents, peers, administrators, central office, and school board about what education should be – a way for students to find themselves and their best contributions to their communities. At whatever depth, level, and scale you have the conversations, keep them going and draw inspiration from them.
If we believe that how we teach better prepares our students for lives of learning, service, and joy, then we have a moral obligation to teach that way. Moreover, if we believe that classroom teachers and schools can innovate, we can't let private vendors monopolize "innovation."
- Push the tough questions and ask how divisive questions can be re-framed to form new alliances for change. Suggest #edchat questions about accountability and freedom. Offer to moderate an #edchat. Start a complementary blog or discussion online or after school. Take #rhetorical challenges and flip them into questions about what we all what for children and how best to achieve it. Stay out of the current conversations and start new ones.
Let's start here. What am I missing? How can I help? How can you help me? Does any of this matter? Will it go anywhere, or will it stay on the screen like so many adaptive reading passages?
Let's start with this blog post and see where we take it.

A New Chip for a New Year
When Intel launched the Sandy Bridge-E platform in November, there were three processors listed on the specification sheet. The Core i7-3960X is the flagship, 6-core processor with the ~$1000 price tag, the Core i7-3930K still had 6-cores but a much lower cost and similar clock speeds and the Core i7-3820 was the only quad-core option and was listed for a Q1 release. We reviewed the Core i7-3930K in December and found that it offered nearly the same performance as the more expensive unit at about half the price.
Today we are getting a preview of the Core i7-3820 that will be released likely in early February and will come with a much more reasonable price tag of $285 to fill out the LGA2011 socket. The question that we must ask then is can the quad-core Core i7-3820 compete against the currently available quad-core Sandy Bridge parts that fit in the widely available LGA1155 socket? We not only have to consider performance but also the features of each platform as well as the total cost.
Same Feature Set, New Die
While most of the features of the Core i7-3820 are going to be identical to those of the previous SNB-E processors we have seen, there are some important differences with this chip. Let's see what is familiar first. The Core i7-3820 is based on the Sandy Bridge-E design that works on the LGA2011 socket and the X79 chipset and motherboards currently on the market. It includes a quad-channel memory controller and 40 lanes of PCI Express that are actually capable of PCIe 3.0 speeds. HyperThreading is still enabled so you are getting the benefit of being able to run twice as many threads as you have cores.
There are some very important changes on this CPU as well though starting with a quad-core design. This directly pits this Sandy Bridge-E part against the currently existing Sandy Bridge processors running on the Z68/P67 chipset and LGA1155 socket. Also, the L3 cache on the Core i7-3820 is at 10MB, 5MB less than the Core i7-3960X and 2MB less than the Core i7-3930K. We are basically talking about a processor that bridges the gap between the original SNB and newer SNB-E parts and it creates some interesting battles and comparisons.

I have been reading with dismay a litany of conflicting events in Massachusetts. While, on the one hand, Governor Patrick is saying he needs more taxes to run the Commonwealth, on the other he apparently has been unconcerned, at the very least, with the rampant use of taxpayers' money to pay off political debts.
People are being hired and placed in well-paying positions with little or no concern about their qualifications (the highway safety director). People on a transportation board reportedly were told by the governor's office whom to select as head of the MBTA.
The patronage in this state borders on legalized corruption.
Do we taxpayers have any possibility of seeing our Legislature take quick, forceful action to stop this from being a fact of life on Beacon Hill? Will anyone in the Legislature have the guts and intellectual honesty to stand up and speak out? Or will it be business as usual, one hand washing the other?

Press Release
State Protests 2005 Trans-Alaska Pipeline Oil Transportation Tariffs: Attorney General Says Rates Are Too High
December 15, 2004
(Juneau, AK) - The state today filed a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, objecting that the proposed 2005 interstate oil transportation tariffs for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System are too high. The state's protest also challenges certain aspects of the pipeline owners' 2003 and 2004 tariffs.
The pipeline owners filed their proposed 2005 interstate tariffs Dec. 1, governing the charges for shipping a barrel of oil from Pump Station No. 1 on the North Slope to the port of Valdez for delivery out of state. Each of the five pipeline owners files its own tariff each year, with the proposed 2005 rates ranging from $3.52 to $3.98 per barrel.
"These rates stand in stark contrast to the rates set by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska for oil used in Alaska. Our 1985 settlement agreement with the pipeline owners prohibits discrimination in the rates. We have protested this discrimination and seek an order from FERC that would eliminate the discrimination by lowering the interstate tariff," said Attorney General Gregg Renkes in announcing the state's protest, which was filed today at FERC offices in Washington, D.C. "The largest of the increases is 28 percent, and the state believes that is too much," Renkes said.
The state looked at some of these same issues last year and initially protested the 2004 tariffs before FERC on narrower grounds.
"We resolved the issues last year in part on the understanding that the owners and the state would attempt during the year to negotiate a successor agreement to the existing 1985 TAPS Settlement Methodology, to remove uncertainty in the future," Renkes said. "Unfortunately, we were not successful this year in reaching an agreement. We hope the parties will continue to talk, but in the meantime I have informed the owners that I must protect the state's interests and revenues. We recognize the litigation track may be slow, but it does not preclude simultaneous discussions with the owners."
"The state remains open to solutions that will bring down the tariffs, promote exploration and increase throughput," the attorney general said. "When throughput is increased, the costs of pipeline operation and maintenance are spread over more barrels, which can lead to lower tariffs. And lower tariffs would increase the state's revenues and make additional exploration more economic. Ultimately, this should be everyone's goal," Renkes said.
Higher pipeline tariffs reduce the value of the oil, cutting into state royalty and production tax revenues. A $2.00 difference in the tariff charged can add up to as much as $120,000,000.00 per year in revenue to the state.
The five TAPS owners are BP, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Unocal and Koch. The smallest increase was filed by ConocoPhillips, from $3.23 per barrel in 2004 to $3.52 in 2005. The largest increase was filed by BP, from $3.01 in 2004 to $3.86 per barrel in 2005, almost 28 percent.
"We are now faced with a situation where a shipper whose oil is intended for an out-of-state destination pays as much as $2 more per barrel than a shipper sending oil the same distance, through the same pipeline, but to an in-state destination," Renkes said. "We think that violates the Interstate Commerce Act's prohibition against unjust discrimination and undue preference to shippers."
Although FERC regulates interstate oil tariffs, the Regulatory Commission of Alaska regulates intrastate oil transportation tariffs covering deliveries of North Slope crude oil to in-state refineries. Those rates, as set by the RCA, are much lower than the pipeline owners' proposed rates for moving oil to Valdez for loading aboard tankers.
The intrastate tariff charged to transport oil from Pump Station No. 1 to Valdez is $1.96 per barrel, significantly lower than the owners' proposed interstate tariff filed with FERC. The lower intrastate tariff is the result of a November 2002 RCA order, which the pipeline owners are appealing. The state also appealed the order—not because it believes the tariff determined by the RCA is too low but rather because it disagrees with the process and some of the inputs the commission used in its rate-setting determination. "We cannot know what the court result will be; in the meantime discriminatory rates exist and should be remedied," said the attorney general.
The state's filing with FERC protests the inclusion in the 2005 interstate rates of costs related to the eventual dismantling and removing of pipeline facilities and right-of-way restoration. "Through the process of updating and reconfiguring the pipeline to make it more efficient, the owners have shut down or removed some facilities or portions of facilities," Renkes said. "These activities should be paid for out of funds the owners have collected from shippers for this purpose since the line started operations in 1977, not by adding to the 2005 tariffs. We are asking FERC to look at these activities and identify and quantify what amounts might have been improperly included in the rates. In addition, we are asking them to establish a procedure to account for the costs of dismantling, removal and restoration we go forward," Renkes said.

Maxis Promises to Fix SimCity Server Snafu, With Free Games "For Your Trouble"
In a post on EA's blog Friday night, Maxis SVP and GM Lucy Bradshaw all but apologized for the server issues that have plagued the company's SimCity reboot since it launched earlier this week. "A lot more people logged on than we expected," Bradshaw wrote. "That was dumb, but we are committed to fixing it." She pledged that the company would both fix lingering tech problems this weekend and offer a free PC game download to affected players later this month. Server downtime and changes between the old SimCity franchise and the reboot have led to near-universally negative reviews of the game on Amazon.

Too much money for such a huge injury risk (chronic foot). Thumbs down. Use the draft for a RB. It will be cheaper. Spend FA money elsewhere for a position tougher to fill. Backs are a dime a dozen and given the right scheme and OL, you don't need exceptional talent for success. Case in point: NE Pats. They have had average backs for years (Green Ellis, Ridley, Vereen, to name the most recent unspectacular backs) but have displayed tremendous production from the position.
Spending a 1st round pick or using a ton of free agent money for a RB (unless it's a talent like Peterson) is just fiscally irresponsible for most NFL teams.
No thank you.
Bradshaw spends every season on the injury report/missing games and he's not a workhorse No.1 back. I'd much rather draft someone and field a three man rotation between said draft pick, Powell and McKnight.
No thanks to Bradshaw.
If the Jets FO spend anywhere it should be on the OLine or used to resign Landry at a reasonable price.
I don't think we can afford to spend money on a RB in free agency. Bradshaw gets hurt a lot too
Time to take a cue from the Giants and also do not sign a player they won't.

We want players for what they will become, not for what they once were.
On signing Bradshaw:
Idzik: "It would be bad."
Rex: "Define "bad"."
Idzik: "Imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and ever molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."
Rex: "Okay, that's bad."
If the Jets are going to sign an RB in free agency (which probably isn't the best idea), I'd skip Bradshaw and take a look at Mike Goodson. Speed, quickness, good receiver, younger (26 when the season starts), played in a WCO and will likely be cheap. He flashed some with Carolina a few years back and with Oakland last season before an injury.
Still, I'd pass on signing an RB and draft one and go with him and Powell.
Time to stop starting threads.

It took some time for the North Central College football team to
begin firing on all cylinders during its Homecoming clash with
Illinois Wesleyan University on Saturday, but a series of big plays
in all three phases of the game helped the Cardinals break open a
close game and pull away from the Titans for a 30-7 victory at
Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium.
The win was the 17th straight regular-season home victory for the sixth-ranked Cardinals (7-0, 4-0 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin), who avenged their only in-conference loss from last season.
The Cardinals' offense struggled out of the gate, as their first two possessions resulted in turnovers. IWU linebacker Dan Rogers intercepted a Brad Crackel pass on the first play from scrimmage, giving the visitors possession at their own 45-yard line. The Titans drove to the North Central 34, where a fourth-down conversion attempt was unsuccessful. Quarterback Brian Rooney attemped to run for the first down, but was stuffed by Matt Wenger and Derek Sulo.
Three plays later, however, the turnover bug struck again, as the Titans' Michael Whittington snared his team's second interception of the first period. IWU, however, went three plays and out as the North Central defense stood tall once again. The Cardinals' offense put together an eight-play, 46-yard drive late in the first period to set up a 32-yard field goal attempt by Nick Dace, but the kick was off the mark as the game remained scoreless.
The hosts broke the scoreless deadlock midway through the second period. A 36-yard punt return by Joe Antonacci allowed the Cardinals to take possession at the Titans' 27-yard line. After a 14-yard run by Jordan Tassio, Crackel dropped back and fired a touchdown pass to Antonacci, giving North Central a lead it would not relinquish with 7:25 left in the first half. The Cardinals threatened to score once again before the intermission, covering 51 yards in 10 plays in just under two minutes, but a fourth-down conversion attempt was unsuccessful with 11 seconds on the clock.
Illinois Wesleyan's first possession of the second half resulted in a turnover, as Josh McLeod picked off his fourth pass of the season at the Cardinals' 49-yard line. Just one play later, North Central was in the end zone again as Crackel, scrambling to his right to avoid the Titans' pass rush, threw to Manny Juarez for a 51-yard score. Juarez now has two TD receptions in the past three games, both of which have covered at least 50 yards.
A short Illinois Wesleyan punt allowed the Cardinals to start their next scoring drive at the Titans' 45. Tassio ran the ball on six straight plays, covering 48 yards, and played the pivotal role in setting up a 22-yard field goal attempt for Dace. The freshman split the uprights, extending North Central's lead to 17-0 with 1:28 left in the third period.
The North Central defense followed with its second touchdown of the year on the following possession. Rooney, seeking to make a play on third down, attempted to lateral to running back Bo Lanter, but the ball hit the turf, resulting in a fumble. Matt Wenger scooped up the ball and rambled 21 yards to the goal line on the final play of the third period, giving the Cardinals a 23-0 advantage as the fourth quarter beckoned.
The Cardinals forced yet another turnover on the ensuing drive, as Tharryn Wright intercepted Rooney's pass at the IWU 44 and returned it 31 yards to the 13-yard line. Three plays later, Crackel lofted the ball to the left corner of the end zone, dropping it into the hands of Andy Stuursma for a nine-yard TD pass.
The Titans (5-2, 2-2 CCIW) secured their lone touchdown on the next drive, as a seven-play, 67-yard drive was capped off by Rooney's five-yard scoring strike to Joey Driver.
Tassio finished with a game-high 116 rushing yards on 16 carries, while Crackel was 9 of 17 passing for 128 yards. Stuursma caught a team-best four passes for 40 yards. Wenger paced North Central's defense with a season-high 14 tackles, while Peter Bulandr established a new career high with seven total stops. Joe Schneiderbauer also intercepted a pass for the Cardinals.
Eli Williams was IWU's top ground gainer with 78 yards on 18 carries. Rooney completed 14 of 30 passes for 116 yards and ran for 44 yards on 18 attempts. Driver was the team's top receiver with 10 catches for 72 yards, and linebacker Ryan Gresko totaled team highs of 11 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss.
The Cardinals travel to Elmhurst College on Saturday. Kickoff at Langhorst Field is scheduled for 1 p.m.

From EOS-NumeriqueA thread has shown up on the EOS Numerique forum about what's coming shortly. I will talk about what's posted there.
Here's what I know so farAs I wrote yesterday, 2 of the big white lenses are going to be replaced. The above link says all 4, however I'm still told it'll just be 2 at a time.
300 f/2.8L IS II400 f/2.8L IS II
[CR3] on at least 2 big white lenses getting replacements.
ZoomsThe above link points to a 100-300L. I've heard a bit about this over the last few weeks.
If I had to guess, it could be an EF 100-300 f/4L IS.  It wouldn't be 2.8 and I highly doubt it would be variable aperture.
A wide angle zoom is also coming, I've heard 16-50 f/4L IS. It may be something different, but I do not see a 2.8 replacement of the 16-35 f/2.8 II.
The 8mm-12mm mentioned in the forum post I've heard nothing about.
Like we've said in the past, there are 3-4 lenses coming this fall.
I will [CR2] this.
The Bad NewsI have heard NOTHING about the following desired lenses.
24-70 f/2.8L ISIf it's coming, it's been very well hidden. Not a single source has mentioned anything about it.
50 f/1.4 IINothing has come my way in a long time.
August 19 AnnouncementsThe above thread also says there will be announcements tomorrow. To be honest, I've received an equal number of yays & nays for camera stuff being announced tomorrow.
More soon
I think the 2 new f/4 lenses would strengthen the travel/outdoor gear package and compliment the 24-105 really nicely. So instead of the old set (17-40mm f/4 + 24-105mm f/4 + 100-400mm f/4-5.6), we get the new power-up version (16-50mm f/4 + 24-105mm f/4 + 100-300mm f/4). Like everyone else, I really hope that there's no more pull/push zoom on the white lens... it's such a royal pain when rain sets in...However, I am a bit worried about the weight, size, and especially the $$$ of these new L lenses...
The current EF 24-70mm f/2.8 could be improved, but I don't think an IS is one of those improvements - 70mm is not long enough to call for it. Actually, I think Canon should have skipped the EF-S 18-55mm IS as well - I shoot with 85mm w/o IS on FF, and I don't see any need for an IS. The resources could have gone into some more interesting lens.
An EF 100-300 f/4 IS ? Between the EF 70-200mm f/4 IS, EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6, and existing EF 100-400mm, I don't see how this caters photographers' needs better than an upgraded EF 100-400mm.

From EOS-Numerique
The above link points to a 100-300L. I've heard a bit about this over the last few weeks.

If I had to guess, it could be an EF 100-300 f/4L IS.  It wouldn't be 2.8...

2013 Baseball
Niermann named First Team All-Region
Kyle Niermann named First team All-Mideast Region by ABCA/Rawlings
May 28, 2013
ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Teams
BLUFFTON, Ohio - Bluffton senior Kyle Niermann (Napoloeon) capped off his superb career at Bluffton University by being named First Team All-Mideast Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association. He was one of seven Heartland Conference baseball players to be honored, including five on the First Team. Manchester skipper Rick Espeset, who led Manchester to the Division III World Series, was tabbed as Coach of the Year for the region. Niermann was also recognized as All-Region by D3baseball.com following his final season as a Beaver. A First Team Heartland Conference selection for the past three seasons, Niermann was named Second Team All-Mideast Region by the ABCA as a junior.
Leading the HCAC and coming in 12th all-time at Bluffton with a blistering .438 batting average, Kyle Niermann leaves an indelible impression on the record books and baseball program following his storied career with the Beavers. He led the Beavers to 19, 19 and 21 wins which all set or matched the school record for victories in his final three seasons at Bluffton. His school-record 71 hits place him sixth in the country and the top five have all played more games than Niermann. He is the only Beaver to put together three seasons of at least 60 hits. Niermann's 37 runs scored, 15 doubles and 90 total bases all place him in the top 10 for a single season. The dean of Bluffton hitting fanned just seven times this season in over 180 plate appearances, or less than four percent of the time.
Niermann became Bluffton's most prolific hitter midway through his final campaign and never slowed down, pushing the school record for hits to 248 and dropping 2012 graduate Tyler Stephenson (215) to #2 all-time, just one season after he went around Brad Buckingham and Tony Moore who shared the mark with 168 safeties. His .391 career average is seventh all-time while his .535 slugging percentage places him 13th. He finished his career in the top five all-time for games played (146), games started (145), at bats (634), runs scored (142), doubles (49), triples (9), RBI (118), total bases (339). His at bats and total bases are tops all-time for the Beavers. Niermann was also outstanding on the bases and in the field. His 25 stolen bases are seventh all-time, while his .988 fielding percentage tied him for 11th all-time.
Bluffton crossed the 20-win barrier with a 21-18 mark for the most victories in school history following a season that saw the Beavers complete their first-ever sweep of Mount St. Joseph and win their first Heartland Conference series with Rose-Hulman since the Engineers joined the HCAC in 2006-07. The Beavers just missed out on their first-ever trip to the Heartland Conference tournament while earning series victories over four HCAC teams in 2013.

David Hall: The actual date of the Arkansas Centennial was 1936, but Arkansas commemoratives were issued at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints for each year from 1935 to 1939. This was the height of the pre-War commemorative craze. For the 1935 issue, the Arkansas Centennial Commission distributed some coins, while Texas dealer B Max Mehl purchased a large portion of the issue in bulk and resold them. For the 1936 issue, the Arkansas Centennial Commission did all the selling to the public. For the 1937 issue, the New York firm of Stack's was chosen to be the sole distributer. Then in 1938, the Arkansas Centennial Commission once again distributed all the sets.
The 1938 Arkansas did not sell as well as previous years. The coins were sold to the public as a three coin set (one from each Mint) for $8.75. Only 3150 sets were sold, making each of the three 1938 Arkansas issues among the lowest mintages of all U.S. commemorative coins. The three 1938 issues are about of equal rarity in MS63 thru MS65 condition, but in Superb Gem MS66 or better condition the 1938-D is by far the most common. The 1938 is not quite as rare as the 1938-S in Superb Gem condition.
The average grade for the 1938 Arkansas is MS63 to MS 65 with circulated examples being virtually non-existent as nearly all of the original mintage was saved. The typical 1938 has the typical subdued frosty "Arkansas" luster, unless toning is present...which is often the case.

Ewalt Elementary has two winners in the KPTS Young Authors Contest
Two students in Christy Watkins' first grade class at Ewalt Elementary were surprised to learn that they were winners in the KPTS Young Authors Contest: Be More With Words. Thursday morning they received a surprise visit from Sheila Shaw, KPTS Education Outreach Coordinator and Clifford the Big Red Dog from popular children's books, who delivered the exciting news.
Students composed original stories, including illustrations and the winning stories were chosen from 160 first grade entries this year.
Harrison Painter was the first place winner with his true story, "The Mission Trip." Harrison told the story of a church mission trip and the sights along the way, including the Grand Canyon and Hollywood.
Logan Pfeifer was named the third place winner with his story, "The Lonely Tiger", the story of a tiger who is different, but wants to be treated the same as others.
Each of the winners read their stories and shared the illustrations with their class.
"KPTS is grateful to all of our sponsors; Cargill, Domino's Pizza, Mark Kistler's Imagination Station, Sedgwick County Zoo, Watermark Books & Cafe, Wichita Public Library, Bombardier LearJet and CS&S Graphics for their support of the Young Authors Contest," Shaw said and added, "And we want to thank Mrs. Watkins. She's a big supporter of this program."
During her interaction with the students, Shaw's passion for the program and it's promotion of encouraging the young students to combine their creativity, writing, illustrating and love for reading shines through. Both Shaw and Clifford manage to make all the kids feel like winners.
Harrison and Logan's prizes included a pizza party for their entire class, a sketch pad and art kit. Both will be also be guests of the KPTS Wichita studio in June and be recorded reading their stories, which will be used for a commercial to air on the Public Broadcasting Station.
As first place winner, Harrison won a one year membership to Mark Kistler's Video Art Academy (over 300 on-line video and animated art lessons) and a KPTS 2013 Kids Club Membership.
In addition to his prizes, Logan also won a $50 Gift Card from Watermark Books & Cafe.

Ok, first of all I'm coming all the way to Cali from the smallest state in this country of ours: Rhode Island. Now, studies show that RI is the 6th state that has the highest amount of Marijuana usage, now don't get mad and try to deffend your state, I know, everyone smokes a lot of pot, BUT Mass. is #1 and that is why we are #6. California is #2 to get that out there. Now, I need pot. I'm giong to Santa Monica for a few days and figured if I go down to Venice Beach it should be pretty easy to meet someone that can hook that up.
1. Has anyone gotten pot from LA/Venice Beach/Santa Monica? If so, How? Was it good?
2. Is it easy to get into the fest? If so, How?
3. Is anyone going to be at the fest that is willing to meet up?
Thank you all for your time and patience, answers are appreciated.

Sweet Home Alabama
Hollywood thinks nothing of "reinventing" an old property by slapping a new title on it, changing the setting, shooting it with a different cast, then pretending it's something brand new. The message of Sweet Home Alabama, a prime example of this process, is that it's wrong for a person to do the same thing.
Reese Witherspoon follows her Legally Blonde success with a far lesser romantic comedy. She's perfectly fine in a role Carole Lombard probably played in the 1930s, but the script is weak, rambling, and oh-so-predictable. If this one helps anyone, it will be Josh Lucas, who was killed at the beginning of The Deep End and also appeared in A Beautiful Mind. With bright blue eyes (or contacts), he has the look and charm of a young Paul Newman.
Melanie (Witherspoon) left Pigeon Creek, Alabama, seven years ago and never looked back. In New York she changed her last name from Smooter to Carmichael and revised her biography. Now she's a rising young designer who accepts a romantic marriage proposal from Andrew (Patrick Dempsey), the son of Mayor Candice Bergen.
Before she can marry Andrew, Melanie has to go home to get a divorce from Jake (Lucas), the childhood playmate/soulmate she was married to before she left. He's refused to sign the papers all these years. Could that be because he still loves her, even though he calls her a "hoity-toity Yankee bitch"?
Pigeon Creek is a stereotypical Southern movie town. They've made some progress since Gone with the Wind but can hardly be confused with civilization. Of course they've got folk wisdom that puts the city slickers' book learnin' to shame, and occasionally they'll say something in their own defense like, "Just because I talk slow doesn't mean I'm stupid."
In the long midsection, we meet most of the population of Pigeon Creek as Melanie gets reacquainted with them. Most of their stories are left underdeveloped, including that of Melanie's mother (Mary Kay Place), who drove her daughter to excel and pushed her into pageants as her ticket out of town. Jean Smart has much less to do as Jake's mother.
One character who gets too much screen time is Bobby Ray (Ethan Embry), Pigeon Creek's only gay man, who is closeted until Melanie outs him. It doesn't seem to bother anyone. They probably all knew anyway. It's not the kind of town where anyone can keep a secret.
The old cliché was that the gay character would wind up alone. The new cliché is that there are two gay characters so they can discover each other at the end. In this case, the other one is Melanie's New York fashion mentor, the flamboyant Frederick (Nathan Lee Graham). There's a red herring in the form of a phony reporter, but if he's gay, he'll have to find someone in New York.
Finally it comes down to whether Melanie will marry Andrew or remain married to Jake but work harder at it this time. Anyone who can pretend to be surprised at her decision by the time it finally comes should be in the running for an Oscar.
Director Andy Tennant (Ever After, Anna and the King) brings out more drama than comedy, which is exactly what this kind of featherweight flick doesn't need. A terrific cast fails to raise it above mediocrity.

PHILADELPHIA — The good news this week was that it seems more and more Andrew Bynum will not be a lost cause this season. The bad news is more and more it seems the 76ers might well be a lost cause by the time he takes the floor.
The Sixers enter tonight's game against the Houston Rockets at 15-22, losers of 13 of their last 16, and four games behind the surging Boston Celtics for the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference. They are, in a word, reeling.
The Sixers held an optional practice Friday at PCOM, where general manager Tony DiLeo said he is indeed attempting to find someone who might help the rebounding problems that have worn the team down without Bynum's dominating presence in the middle.
"We are still looking at Andrew as a long-term solution," DiLeo said. "We made the trade and built the team around him.
"That's still the mentality. We built this team and want to see it on the court. On the other hand, if there's a chance to improve our team, then we'll do that. We don't want to jeopardize the future ... but in the end we built this team and we want to see it on the court at some point."
The Sixers have lost five straight games, the last four by 18 or more points. The poor rebounding has worn the team down, making it seem exhausted defensively. That leads to less turnovers forced, which means less fast-break opportunities, which means more halfcourt basketball for a team with no one with offensive skills down low.
It has been a circle of death, a slow painful death.
"I think we have to get our defensive identity back, and start playing together on both ends," Spencer Hawes said. "Start having fun again. When you're losing, coming in on days like today, guys don't have as much fun on the court or off the court. The collective mood just kind of worsens."
Bynum remains weeks away from returning to the floor, so unless the Sixers can play at least .500 ball until them, this season is a loss. It seems to accomplish that they need an infusion of a professional rebounder to at least stop the hemorrhaging.
Perhaps the most interesting low-post player being actively shopped is San Antonio forward DeJuan Blair, whose playing time has been cut by the emergence of extremely talented Brazilian Tiago Splitter. Blair is averaging just 5 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game this season after putting up 9.5 points and 5.5 boards in 21.3 minutes per game as a starter last season.
Word out of San Antonio was that the Spurs were close to sending Blair to the Miami Heat before the season, but the deal fell through. Although it seems Miami could use someone on the low post with Blair's potential, the fact that he has played sparingly hasn't enhanced his trade value. Then there's the fact that the Spurs lead the Southwest Division and are right there with Oklahoma City and the L.A. Clippers for the best record in the Western Conference. So, why would a serious conference contender want to do something that potentially helps the defending NBA champions?
Blair makes a little over $1 million this season and is a free agent at the end of the year, so he could be had for draft picks on his own, or in a package that allows the Spurs to unload veteran Stephen Jackson and his appealing cap relief for next year.
DiLeo and the Sixers are protective of the nucleus of Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner and Thad Young, and having a chance to see what Bynum's knee problems have or haven't done to his All-Star skills. Beyond that, the worry isn't the players, but cap space. It would be nice to salvage this season, but DiLeo insists the long-view remains in focus.
"We have a lot of questions we want answered, and they still are not answered," DiLeo said. "We just have to be patient and try to get some answers. But for the future, we feel we are in a good position. We have a lot of options."

My baby is 6.5 mo and I thought he was ready for solids, I wanted to do BLS so I started offering him some food this week. I started with carrots but he would not even pick them, he was more interested in biting the table and everything else BUT the carrots.
I thought he had lost the tongue reflex but apparently not since I couldn't resist myself and put a little bit of carrot in his mouth and he made funny faces and moved the carrot in his tongue a lot, I'm not sure if he swallowed it or put it out then I put a little bit more in my finger and offered him but he would not be interested.
or is it normal that baby makes faces the first time? I thought with BLS babies will love food from the beginning....
thanks for the comments!

On a strange afternoon of slips and surges, Danell Leyva lost his first-day lead and came from behind in the final event to win the U.S. Olympic Trials in San Jose. He defeated national champion John Orozco, 368.35-367.40, and both earned automatic berths to the Olympic team. The remaining three members and three alternates will be named Sunday at 10 a.m. PT.
Errors defined both Leyva and Orozco on the final day of trials, the fourth and final round of the trials process that began at the Visa Championships in St. Louis three weeks ago. In the second rotation, Leyva made an odd mistake when he fell onto his back on his Manna.
"I just pressed it up too quick," he said. "I tried to play it off."
The collapse hurt his score, and Orozco eventually took a commanding lead after vault, where he stuck his double-twisting front. Leyva played it safe with a Kasamatsu-full. But the Olympic trials demons cropped up again in the final rotation, which had both Orozco and Leyva on parallel bars. First man up, Orozco missed a peach-half and had to improvise, and then his left arm began to cramp and he couldn't control his left hand. Somehow he managed to finish the set, but not without a break after his Healy.
"I really don't know how I did it, but I did," Orozco said of finishing the routine. "And now I can say I'm an Olympian." Orozco said he couldn't wait to see his parents to give them a hug and say "we all did it together."
Said Leyva of his Olympian status: "I didn't think we were gonna know today. But it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders."
With Sam Mikulak scratching five events with a sprained ankle he sustained Thursday on vault, Jonathan Horton moved up to third all-around. But he was not happy afterward, having made errors on high bar and floor, his last two events today.
"It was dumb," Horton said of his mistakes. "I've never done that. I'm frustrated with myself right now."
Chris Brooks, on the other hand, tied for fourth with Jake Dalton, though Brooks fell off pommel horse in the first rotation.
"I'm relieved, I'm happy with myself," Brooks said, admitting that he's in a weird position with the selection still to come. "The consistency hasn't been there."
Dalton fell off pommels too, but overall he had another solid day. And even though most believe he's a lock for the team, he's not as sure.
"I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight, I know that," he said.
Mikulak, who hit his one event today, pommel horse, sounded confident that he had shown enough throughout the process, and was pleased he had hit pommels four times in a row.
"My performance the past three meets has been more than I could have asked for," he said.
Alex Naddour admitted he won't sleep well tonight, wondering if a pommel horse specialist will be added to the team. But he believes his rings proved that he's more than a one-event contributor.
"I felt like I did my job," he told IG.
The selection committee will crunch the numbers and try to put together the strongest five-man team for the U.S. And Leyva's stepfather/coach Yin Alvarez revealed to reporters what he thought of Team USA's chances in London.
"It's no secret this team can win the gold medal," he said.
Rotation 1
Chris Brooks, first up on PH, began well but fell on a single-pommel combo. Must be hard to be the first routine of the Olympic trials final day. John Orozco led off on high bar with a very clean set and stuck layout full-out. Crowd goes nuts. Alexander Naddour saved a couple of near falls, landed his dismount and wiped his brow in relief. Not the routine he was hoping for. Paul Ruggeri hit a strong RO half-on to handspring-double twisting front vault but stepped sideways.
Brandon Wynn hit high bar with some form issues, and Jake Dalton fell off pommels. The guys look a little tight in this first rotation, which is not surprising. David Sender landed his Yurchenko-double pike with one big step. A good vault. Josh Dixon caught a Winkler from elgrip on HB and stuck his layout full-out.
Jonathan Horton swung a great PH set under a lot of pressure. A strong start for him. Danell Leyva nailed his HB set, including the jam-hop to Endo-full, and stuck his dismount. Crowd absulutely erupted. Steven Legendre also got through pommels well for a good start. He might be competing for an alternate spot at best.
Sam Mikulak sprained his left ankle on vault on Thursday and has opted to compete only on pommels today. He can still be selected to the team. Glen Ishino did two Yamawakis (one to mixed grip) and stuck his layout double-double to complete an electric first rotation.
Rotation 2
Wynn was solid on floor and stuck his 2.5 dismount, which isn't easy. Naddour showed level Malteses to show the committee he can contribute on more than just pommels. Ruggeri hit p-bars well to make the committee take a closer look at him, even though his pommels and rings are relatively weak. Dixon was clean on floor until he needed a large step on his tucked Arabian double dismount.
Dalton nailed rings and sort of stuck his tucked double-double (lot of body language). Sender got thru PB better than Day 1, but still had a few small errors. Leyva was cooking on floor until his Manna was too high, and he fell onto his back. It's his first major error in the whole trials process, but he can afford it. Horton did well on rings and stuck his tucked double-double. He's feeling it today. Ishino hit floor, ending with a clean triple twist. Legendre looked steady on rings, and is off to a strong start. CJ Maestas was quick and dynamic on PB and almost stuck his double pike.
Orozco got the crowd going after his flairs on floor, and even Leyva's coach Yin Alvarez was clapping for him. Like Wynn, Orozco stuck his 2.5 twist dismount. Brooks made up for his PH with a strong rings set and nodded in approval after he landed his half-in full-out.
Rotation 3
Dixon stayed clean on PH, and Dalton followed with a well-done Lopez vault, that he stuck momentarily before taking a step back. Sender missed his Kolman on HB and you could see the look of disappointment on his face. Leyva rebounded from his floor flub with an excellent PH set, and he gave himself a couple of claps afterward.
Horton stuck with a handspring-double front instead of gambling with a Dragulescu. He didn't stick it, but it looked solid and may be a vault the team uses in London in team finals. High bar master Alex Buscaglia linked a full-twisting Tkatchev to Gienger in one of the best routines of the meet. Glen Ishino ripped through his fast-paced PH routine to make things interesting on that event. Legendre over-rotated his Dragulescu and needed several steps backward to stay on the podium. Maestas hit HB but was a bit rough in places. He's still a raw talent. Orozco was strong on horse and looked under control throughout.
Brooks finally hit his double front pike in a meet the way he wanted, and was really pumped after the clean landing. He tucked the second flip a bit, but it should score well. Buscaglia hit HB, an event he has owned for years. Naddour landed his double-twisting front on vault with one big step.
Rotation 4
Buscaglia hit a solid floor set, and Leyva, on his weak event, rings, but picked up a little pivoting swing during the Yamawaki sequence. Orozco should gain on him in this rotation. Horton hit p-bars with Brooks cheering throughout. Maestas hit a difficult floor routine, with double-double mount and full-in dismount. He should do well in the coming years. Ishino peeled off rings with one hand on a giant and had to drop off. He just laid on the ground for a few seconds in disbelief. Legendre hit PB, and Ruggeri hit floor, another strong event for him.
Orozco flexed his muscles on rings with level Malteses and steady swing. Brooks nailed PB with Horton calling out vocal cues. Sender had some landing issues on floor and you can tell he's running out of gas a bit. Wynn hit strong rings, which is his strong event. Naddour was looking strong until his hand slipped on a Diamidov and he had to jump off. He couldn't believe it happened. Dixon continues to have a good meet on rings, showing a clean front double pike dismount. Dalton hit a great p-bars set.
Orozco has takent a .15 lead over Leyva.
Rotation 5
Sam Mikulak finally got to compete, and he hit pommels with only a slight hitch here and there. But a great set under the circumstances. And more importantly, four hits on PH starting in St. Louis at Visa championships. Legendre hit a lean HB set with high piked and tucked Kovacses, and he almost stuck his triple flyaway. Maestas hit PH, showing a bold set.
Orozco redeemed himself on vault, his only fall on Day one, and landed his double-twisting front without a quiver. OK, maybe a slight one, but his feet never moved. Brooks really let it go on pipe and continues to hit after his PH fall. Ruggeri was psyched to stay on horse, but Wynn had to do a forward roll after his double front vault. Naddour hit HB, which is not his best event. Despite an early fall on PH, Sender remounted and finished some difficult combos very well. Impressive.
Dixon finally broke, on vault, when he fell to his knees on the landing. Dalton looked tentative on HB but got through without a major break. Leyva knows he needs a decent vault and then try to catch Orozco on their last event, PB. He played it safe and did Kasamatsu-full instead of the 1.5, but he did it well. Orozco leads by .55.
Last up on HB, Horton promised he would catch his Cassina after he fell on Thursday, and he did, but his Takemoto finished too soon and he couldn't connect the Yamawaki.
Rotation 6
Brooks, everybody's cheerleader, hit floor and gave himself a scream for a job well done. Maestas, built for rings, showed excellent strength skills and ended with a tucked double-double.
First up on PB, Orozco can put added pressure on Leyva with a hit, but he blew his peach-half and had to do a side glide. Then he almost missed a Healy and had to do a straddle cut. It was a bad routine, and Orozco was checking his left thumb after he got off. Naddour hit floor, waved to the crowd and will have to wait until Sunday morning to learn his Olympic fate, like most everyone else. Ruggeri finished a strong day on rings, and waved to the crowd.
Wynn is an animal on PB and throws a really hard set. Dalton stuck his layout double Arabian and and did his usual clean routine. He did his job here and should make the team. A bittersweet ending to Sender's comeback, he started well but ran out of strength and fell to his knees on his double-double. A classy guy, he smiled, waved farewell and got a hug from coach Ivan Ivankov.
With one routine to go, Horton opened floor well, but lost his balance on his third pass and stepped out of bounds. But he managed to stick his full-in dismount. Overall, he looked good in San Jose.
With Orozco swallowing a low score on PB, Leyva just needs a clean set to win trials. He ad libbed a bit, adding a giant after his peach-Diamidov but he never broke. He waved to the crowd then lifted Alvarez in the air and hugged Mom.
Legendre finished a strong day with his amazing tumbling, and the crowd loved it. Ishino closed the meet with a strong PB routine.

#MyJihad is killing thousands of Americans as they light a Christmas tree. What's yours?
via Mohamed Mohamud found guilty in Portland terrorism trial | OregonLive.com.
A federal jury found Mohamed Osman Mohamud guilty Thursday of attempting to detonate a bomb during Portland's 2010 holiday tree-lighting ceremony.
The jury handed up its verdict after less than seven hours of deliberations in a trial that began Jan. 10 in a downtown courtroom just a few blocks from the scene of the crime.
Mohamud, a 21-year-old Somali American, was convicted of the only charge confronting him: trying to use a weapon of mass destruction. He faces a potential sentence of life in prison. The sentencing hearing was set for May 14.
Chief defense attorney Stephen R. Sady said he will appeal and will seek a "substantially reduced sentence" for Mohamud.
"We're disappointed with the verdict … we obviously thought he was entrapped," Sady said. "We will pursue what remedies are available for him.''
Lead prosecutor Ethan D. Knight thanked the jurors. "It was a difficult case," he said. "We appreciate the jury's deliberation … and we agree with the verdict."
Trial testimony showed that Mohamud had written for an online jihadi magazine, traded emails with two accused terrorists and was in contact with another man who left the Northwest to fight against coalition troops in Afghanistan.
He was under watch by the FBI for nearly a year when agents got the "green light" to target him for investigation. The bureau sent in two undercover agents posing as al-Qaida operatives to befriend Mohamud and learn his intentions.
In his first meeting with one of the agents, on July 30, 2010, he expressed interest in taking part in a car bombing. Thus began an investigative courtship and a sting that would end on the evening of Nov. 26, 2010.
On that day, agents presented Mohamud with a fake but realistic looking fertilizer bomb secretly built by an FBI bomb tech. The massive explosive choked the cargo area of the van. Mohamud grinned and declared the device "beautiful."
Later that night, from the passenger seat of an SUV parked about 1,000 yards from Pioneer Courthouse Square, Mohamud pressed the keypad of a cell phone to detonate the device. When nothing happened, one of the undercover FBI agents told him to get out and try it again.
When he did, a team of FBI agents rushed the van and arrested him.
Mohamud's lawyers had throughout the trial laid grounds for appellate court filings.
Among the key points: U.S. District Judge Garr M. King, who presided in the case, ruled that Mohamud's lawyers could not know the true identity of the undercover agents who helped make the sting; he said giving up their names would put the agents' lives at risk and potentially damage ongoing national security cases.
By not allowing the defense to know the identities of the agents, who were allowed to use their pseudonyms at trial, the defense could make no inquiries about whether the agents had been disciplined or been found to have lied in previous cases.
In court doctuments, Mohamud's lawyers acknowledged that Mohamud pushed the cell phone buttons and joined in the plot. But they said he realizes what he did was wrong.
"He deeply regrets his actions," they wrote, "and is humiliated and ashamed for what he said and did."
He regrets that he didn't kill thousands of Americans as he thought he was going to do but was instead arrested and found guilty. From a previous post:
On Nov. 4, the court documents say, Mohamud made a video in the presence of one of the undercover agents, putting on clothes he described as "Sheik Osama style:" a white robe, red and white headdress, and camouflage jacket.
He read a statement speaking of his dream of bringing "a dark day" on Americans and blaming his family for thwarting him, according to the court documents:
"To my parents who held me back from Jihad in the cause of Allah. I say to them … if you — if you make allies with the enemy, then Allah's power … will ask you about that on the day of judgment, and nothing that you do can hold me back …"

...I feel silly doing this, to be honest, but it's important to me to get as much help/suggestions/information as I can. My daughter is 5 months now, and I'd only managed to breastfeed the first month and a half of her life before giving up.
I was under a lot of stress [some, if not most, self inflicted]. Even physically I don't think I was adequately prepared. I'd been really sick early on in my pregnancy and had to be hospitalized because of it. To say the least, I spent more of my time exhausted and in pain than I like to recall. I also lost a lot of my independence. This made a nasty cocktail of irrationality by the time my little girl came into the world. I was determined to breastfeed. It was one of the few things I felt I'd have control over after almost a year of not having any.
I obviously couldn't have been more wrong about the process.
Looking back I realize, in part, that I didn't reach for outside sources because I felt like I would have failed at being independent. When you have to be bathed by someone else and have to get assistance merely to wipe and get off a toilet, you lose a bit of dignity. I wasn't as self-confident about how well I'd do as a mother...so I imposed the quest of become 'Super Mom' upon myself, not evening taking into account my mental and physical health.
I'm ashamed to say that breastfeeding my daughter at that time was more about me, and less about her and her needs. I think I realized this when I finally gave up, because with the sorrow of feeling like a failure came immense guilt and loads of shame.
Once I'd thrown in the towel and we started giving her formula, we quickly learned that the milk-based ones just weren't going to work. She would projectile-vomit so bad at times she wasn't putting on enough weight. Obviously we quickly switched to soy-based formula. During this time I was still pumping, managing to get out 4 oz per day. But that began to dwindle, as I've only got a manual pump. [We didn't have the money for anything else, and this was given by the hospital I delivered her at.]
Finally, when, manually pumping and self-expressing stopped being as effective, and it took me three days to produce only HALF of what I'd been doing before [which wasn't at all impressive in my opinion back then.] I gave up on breast milk completely.
My little bean started becoming constipated with the soy formula a few weeks in, and so, as a natural remedy, I started giving her prune juice. After a while, however the juice stopped being as affective and she'd go days not being able to pooh. I can't stand seeing her uncomfortable and in pain, and her feedings become bouts of torture for us both. Her screaming and spitting out milk between vigorous sucking, and me practically in tears while I think, "If only I was breastfeeding!"
I've been thinking of trying to relactate for quite some time, now...Only, until I started doing research, I didn't even know there was a term for it. I only thought: 'God made our bodies to do this. What did people do back in times when there WASN'T formula OR a nursemaid around?' I don't know, I've a weird brain. So I started maiming Google with mad questing to find the answer to my question: "Is it possible to start breastfeeding after stopping?"
And I WOULD like to breastfeed again, but I don't know how well she'll take to it after all this time on the bottle. I do want to try to at least pump enough to cut back at least half of what she gets from the soy.
I'm really determined this time, and seeking out any suggestions and help I can get. I know I have to go into this with a clear understanding that my success may be minimal, but I want to focus on the positive -the successful outcome of achieving my goals. I really feel I can do this, only I don't have the tools to do so. Any information on how to do this with a limited income and resources would be helpful.
Please keep in mind that I've suffered from strokes, so my mental reasoning and understand of large amounts of information is limited at best, so I don't always get something the first time. [And I don't always make sense...I have to really work at typing. It's actually quite exhausting, to be honest. Hahahah! ^___^] So I hope you can be patient if I don't fully understand something or happen to even MISUNDERSTAND your meaning. >___< I'm truly sorry in advance, and appreciate your willingness to take time to help.
[Also, I'm sorry I carry on so much. I'm a bit excitable and rather talkative...]

Sen. Murkowski Marks Century Anniversary, Passes Bill Honoring First Athabascan Climber to Summit Denali
Legislation Names Ranger Station for Walter Harper, Reduces Park's Reliance on Diesel, Facilitates Natural Gas Pipeline Route Down Parks Highway
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today applauded Senate passage of legislation honoring Alaskan Native Walter Harper, the first man to summit North America's highest peak.
The Denali National Park Improvement Act (S. 157) renames the National Park Service Ranger Station in Talkeetna after Harper. The Talkeetna Ranger Station is home to Denali National Park's mountaineering rangers and a mandatory stop for anyone planning to climb Denali.
"It's fitting that the Senate should pass this bill in the same month that marks the 100th anniversary of Walter Harper's ascent of Denali," Murkowski said. "This legislation is a small gesture but one that means a great deal to many Alaskans, who are proud of the historical accomplishments of their fellow Alaskans."
Harper was a member of Hudson Stuck and Harry Karstens' 1913 climbing party, and was the first among the group of four climbers to reach the 20,320-feet south summit on June 7.
Harper, of Athabascan and Scottish descent, was born in 1892. He died in 1918, in the sinking of the SS Princes Sophia near Juneau.
In addition to honoring Harper, the Denali National Park Improvement Act includes separate measures to decrease the use of diesel fuel and improve energy access in the park.
- A land exchange for the Kantishna Hills small hydroelectric project
Ø Authorizes a small land exchange of 10 acres between the National Park Service and Doyan Ltd, the Alaska Native corp. for the Interior, to facilitate construction of a 50-kilowatt hydropower project in the Kantishna Hills area of the park. The measure also allows the Interior Secretary to permit other small hydropower projects within the park. The use of renewable hydropower will allow the Kantishna Roadhouse and other lodges to cut their reliance on diesel fuel to generate electricity, and subsequently reduce the number of delivery trucks traveling the park road.
- The permitting of a natural gas pipeline along the Parks Highway in Denali National Park and Preserve
Ø Permits a natural gas pipeline to be buried in the utility corridor of the Parks Highway for the seven miles the road passes through Denali National Park and Preserve – allowing an apples-to-apples comparison with a possible Richardson Highway route and preventing a more environmentally damaging route just outside park boundaries.
The Denali National Park Improvement Act was part of a package of public lands bills approved by unanimous consent by the full Senate on Wednesday.

Hi! I am new to the Tamagotchi P (and this website so forgive me if this was answered in a previous forum) but not new to tamagotchi, in general. It has taken me some research to understand all the buttons and menu's but so far I have gotten it down pack for the most part. The only thing I am having trouble with understanding and finding information on is the "IRDA" business.
All I know is that it's used to download things, but I am not even sure how to go about this.
I don't even know what you can necessarily download.. Any help would be very much appreciated.
(P.S I have a macbook.)

Farmingdale State, 83
Baruch College, 81
Farmingdale, NY - Farmingdale State defeated visiting Baruch College (1-2) tonight in the season opener at the Lynch Sports Center in Farmingdale, NY. The Rams forced three crucial turnovers in the final minute of play and sunk seven free throws for the 83-81 victory and to improve their record to 1-0.
After trailing 42-41 at the half, the Rams used a 12-point run with 6:28 remaining in the game to cut the lead to two, 64-66, with five minutes left to play. The teams traded baskets until there was 57 seconds left when junior Christine Daley (Elmont, NY/Elmont) stole the ball from Baruch's Ally Stamatiades (Astoria, NY/William C. Bryant) and gave Farmingdale the first and final lead with a fast break layup to make it 74-72. Junior Mercedes Miller (New York, NY/Manhattan Center) added another quick basket for the Rams to push the lead to four.
With an 81-78 lead with seven seconds to go, junior Dankery Perez (New York, NY/Manhattan Center) stole the ball on the inbounds and was fouled. She sank both shots for the 83-78 lead. Baruch hit a final second three-pointer but it wouldn't be enough and the final score would stand 83-81.
For Farmingdale State, Miller finished with a team-high of 20 points and 14 rebounds. Daley tallied 19 points. Perez finished with 10 points and five assists. Senior Rochelle Clark (Bellport, NY/Bellport) had game-highs of seven assists and eight steals along with six points. Freshman Tiffara Steward (Elmont, NY/Sewanhaka) hit four free-throws in the last 14 seconds and finished with seven points.
The Rams will resume play at the Russell Sage Tournament to face Green Mountain on Friday, December 1st at 6:00pm.

Now before I start, I have read threads on here about not running with a cavalier because it's bad for their joints and they're just not meant for long distance running. But here is my situation:
I live in an urban city and the only dog park here is full of big dogs with untrained owners - the girls hate it and do not get the freedom to run around without being trampled. On the weekends we go to parks out of the city where they can run off leash but during the week we just cant do that.
I walk the girls everyday but Lady is still incredibly energetic so a walk alone just doesn't make her tired. Lady is very high energy and Gracie is the complete opposite - so I would not consider bringing Gracie on a jog. The other thing is, when I say jog/run, i mean it in the most amateur sense. I am NOT a real runner. So if I took Lady for a run it would probably only be 2-3kms at a slow pace.
When Lady was a puppy she seemed to have a patella issue but at her check up a month ago the vet found no symptoms at all of any patella problems.
Do you think she would be okay jogging a couple kms a few times a week?
