EVANSTON, WYOMING -- A customer for 30 days and I could not take it anymore. There has been "Outages" that has gone as long as 8 hours! I call Tech Support, they start off professional and give the impression that they are going to help until they put me on hold for 43 minutes and when they return they tell me what I already know "There is a problem on our end, we don't know when it will be fixed", well hell I could have told them that! So now I want to cancel my service, they transfer me to billing, another hold time of 29 minutes listening to the same 30 seconds of depressing music, oh and by the way, the music they torture me with while on hold makes me want to cancel every service I have!
Overall; the service is garbage, not at all what they advertise, High Speed??? The only thing "High Speed" is the withdrawal from your checking's account! Always on??? The only thing that is always on is that depressing "hold music"! Unlimited internet??? The only thing unlimited is the wait time! I'll do better with cell phone internet! Better yet, utilizing the US Postal Service would be more stable and faster than relaying on DirecWay's Satellites! I'm paying $100 a month I should have my own personal customer service rep. that follows me around all day!
For $100 a month I should think of a website, look up and have my order already in my "Shopping Cart"! For $100 a month my Tech Support Rep should be... oh lets say... IN AMERICA!!! For $100 a month my internet should not only work during a small rain storm but should produce it's on rain for my wife's garden! Basically I'll pay the early cancellation fee; this is not good customer service at all. This company should really take all of these suggestions (complaints) to heart and re-think the way they do business. But honestly I think that they make more money on their cancellations!!! And that's for real! Sad, but for real!
GERMANTOWN, MARYLAND -- I ordered Direcway for my computer internet use. I was told that it was faster than dial up and just as good or better than DSL service. They totally lied. I had the service for a total of 6 days before cancelling. Out of the 6 days I had actual service about 3 of them. Out of the 3 days I kept getting booted off line. This happened because of light snow or the wind blowing. When I would call the service department for help, I would be on hold for up to 2 hours before speaking with an actual person.
By then the wind would quit blowing and I would be back on line. They said to call them back the next time I got knocked off line. What a joke. I am now fighting with them to get my $696.27 they charged my credit card. I spoke with 3 different people from DirecWay and was told 3 different amounts of credit I would be receiving. The first guy ** said I would receive a full credit with no charges. ** told me I would be charged $199.00 for installation fees. The manager ** said I would get a credit of $422.00.
I have filed a complaint with the BBB and RipOff Report. I am also disputing the charges on my credit card. Don't buy internet service from them unless you have all the time in the world to sit and wait for your online service to work and plenty of money to throw away.

MADISON, WI - OCTOBER 14: Nick Nelson
Typically, the Wisconsin linebackers get a lot of attention for the Badger defense and I certainly contribute to that. After all, Badger of Honor was alarmed at the LB depth chart injuries before the season.
But on Saturday, while the linebackers put in their typical shift, the defensive backfield rose up and smothered the Purdue offense.
Wisconsin defensive backs recorded six of the eight pass breakups on Saturday. Wisconsin safeties and cornerbacks also added 16 of the 49 Wisconsin tackles.
It was another example of the nice season Badger secondary is putting together. The defensive backfield is a major reason the Wisconsin defense is brimming with confidence.
This year, Wisconsin welcomed Hawaii transfer Nick Nelson. They shifted Natrell Jamerson to safety opposite D'Cota Dixon. Derrick Tindal took another outside corner spot. The youngest member of the bunch, freshman Dontye Carriere-Williams is also getting lots of snaps.
Dixon leads the Badgers in tackles with 39, and

in 3.5 tackles-for-loss. Jamerson has an equal number of TFLs. Unsurprisingly, the Wisconsin secondary has 25 of the 31 pass break ups for the season .

By David Schwartz
PHOENIX (Reuters) - Former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was gravely wounded in a 2011 shooting rampage, has written a book with her husband "to rouse the long-overdue conversation" for gun control, a cause she has focused on since leaving office, her publisher said on Tuesday.
The book, "Enough: Our Fight to Keep America Safe From Gun Violence," builds on an opinion piece by Giffords published last April in The New York Times after gun control legislation stalled in the U.S. Senate, according to a statement from Scribner, the publisher.
Giffords in the piece criticized senators for failing to enact the measures, which she argued could have prevented future mass shootings, and she accused them of being beholden to the gun rights lobby.
The legislation had been proposed in the aftermath of the December 2012 shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, that left 20 first-graders and six staff members dead.
"'Enough' was one of the first words Gabby said to me after we learned about the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre," Giffords' husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, said in a statement announcing the book, to be released in June by Scribner.
"As Second Amendment supporters and gun owners ourselves, we hope our book rouses the long-overdue conversation our country needs to make responsible changes to our gun laws so that no more precious lives are lost," he added.
Giffords was shot in the head on January 8, 2011, by gunman Jared Loughner, who opened fire during a "Congress on Your Corner" event at a Tucson, Arizona, supermarket. Six people were killed and 12 others were wounded.
Loughner, a college dropout with a history of mental illness, pleaded guilty in 2012 and was sentenced to life in prison.
Giffords, an Arizona Democrat who resigned from Congress two years ago to focus on her recovery, has been lobbying along with Kelly for tougher gun control laws, including expanded background checks and barring stalkers and domestic abusers from buying guns.
Giffords and Kelly formed a group aimed at curbing gun violence, Americans for Responsible Solutions, and have spent heavily on media advertisements and political campaigns in select states to press their efforts.
Susan Moldow, president of Scribner Publishing Group, said in a statement that the new book will offer "a rare look at Gabby's astonishing progress" since the mass shooting in Arizona that helped spark a national debate on gun control.
Giffords's recovery has been widely chronicled since the shooting, most recently when she went skydiving last month in southern Arizona to mark the third anniversary of the shooting.
In another opinion piece earlier this year in the New York Times, she wrote that she still struggles to speak, has vision problems and that her right arm and leg have been "paralyzed." But she said there is progress in moving the arm.
Giffords told NBC's "Today" show she is working on her Spanish and again playing the French horn.
This is the second book by Giffords and Kelly. The first, published by Scribner in 2011, detailed the couple's lives together and her life and recovery after being shot.

bird - Bioacoustics
Construction and operational road noise effects on avian behavior and health is not well understood. However, it is an issue that has come to light in the last few years causing concern for protected species and project delivery delay. Work has been underway for the past few years to further improve knowledge of this subject and how these issues are addressed.
Through a successful partnership of a Technical Review team and the University of Maryland we have begun to evaluate and provide guidance on this difficult issue facing regulatory and action agencies.
This group sought to develop complete the following:
- Perform a review and evaluation of existing literature related to the effect of noise on birds
- Develop preliminary guidance thresholds based on existing information and research to address potential impacts to bird species
- Develop a strategic research plan to provide data needed to address key uncertainties related to bioacoustic impacts on birds.
Effects of Highway Noise on Birds
Resource agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) are increasingly concerned with noise impacts to birds, especially state and federally listed species. This issue frequently occurs with the marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus maroratus) in Northern California and Least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus) in Southern California. For many transportation projects, mitigation for noise impacts to birds has been required.
To ensure compliance with Federal and State statutes, additional information and justifiable noise thresholds are needed to protect birds, particulary Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) listed species. Since birds rely on vocal communication, understanding how vehicle generated noise and construction related noise effects birds is important for accurate affect determinations. Dr. Robert J. Dooling and Dr. Arthur N. Popper from the University of Maryland conducted a synthesis and review of existing literature to identify the areas that have been covered in published literature with respect to noise effects on birds. They evaluated the literature and used their own expertise from laboratory studies on birds to develop the guidance document "The Effects of Highway Noise on Birds." They also used this knowledge and evaluation to highlight areas of research that are needed on the subject. These are included in the guidance document.
A Technical Review team helped with the review process of this document and research needs development. Members of this team included representatives from US Fish and Wildlife Service, CA Department of Fish and Game, Federal Highways Administration, California Department of Transportation, Washington Department of Transportation, and Jones and Stokes. This team provided excellent feedback to the authors on literature sited, presentation of content, anticipated application or use of the document and research needs.

As a young man, R.G. LeTourneau came to a critical fork in the road of his career. Although he had built a successful earth-moving business, LeTourneau believed that in order to make God first in his life, he would need to leave business and become a missionary. Fortunately, his pastor helped him see that God had called him to business as his ministry. Known as "God's Businessman," R.G. LeTourneau's commitment to close the gap between his Sunday faith and Monday work is embedded in the DNA of LeTourneau University and the driving force behind the Center for Faith & Work.
Launched in 2011 to continue LeTourneau's legacy, the Center for Faith & Work helps students, alumni and friends to make serving Christ their career goal-whatever the career-in every workplace in every nation.
The Center also produces a Faith & Work email newsletter called "Make Monday's Meaningful" that features new events, current articles from all across the web, and resources to make your Mondays meaningful. Sign up for emails here.
Learn more about the Center for Faith & Work at the Center's website, where you will find articles, events, curriculum, videos, sermons, and a host of other resources to help connect Sunday worship with Monday work.
"Sunday faith and Monday work often have a wall of separation, but fortunately more believers are seeing the importance of integrating faith and work. We must not ignore the strategic mission field of the workplace. It is my conviction that the Center for Faith & Work provides important guidelines for leaders who want to influence our culture for Christ. I heartily endorse this effort to close the gap between Sunday and the weekday."

CINCINNATI—What we learned as No. 11 Cincinnati recovered from its early offensive struggles to post a commanding 60-45 victory in the newly renamed Crosstown Classic rivalry:
1. Xavier and Cincinnati can play nice. Players and coaches from both sides shook hands following the national anthem. The dance teams did a routine together. The cheerleaders shared the court during the first media timeout of the second half. The bands staged a free throw competition at halftime. (Hard to believe neither band had a shooter better than the two who competed). The only ugly things about the evening were the venue—the dank and outdated U.S. Bank Arena—and the first 20 minutes of basketball the Bearcats (11-0) and Musketeers (7-3) put on display: a total of 16 turnovers by the two teams, 27 errant shots from the Bearcats, six missed free throws by the Musketeers.
It's possible the players were uninspired by the venue, but more likely they were treading uncomfortably in a game that became such a calamity last December. The brawl that ended last season's Cincinnati-Xavier game became one of the most widely discussed events of the 2011-12 college basketball season, even more so in the city where both universities make their home.
So perhaps it was natural that defense would rule the early part of the game.
2. Cincinnati is going to have to work its press. With no credible inside scoring option, the Bearcats are either stuck relying to a dangerous extent on 3-point shooting or on creating a fast tempo that leads to layups. (Guard Sean Kilpatrick may be the best layup maker in Division I. It sounds elementary, but it's a valuable skill).
The Bearcats' basic scheme is to get the ball out of the net quickly and up the floor as rapidly as possible, and also to run off every missed shot it rebounds. But Xavier undermined that tactic with impressive attention to transition defense. The Musketeers sent at least two defenders back every time their side launched a shot, even if it meant they weren't going to get much done on the offensive boards.
Xavier's success at slowing the game and its success at knocking loose the basketball when the Bearcats penetrated the 3-point line caused a scoreless drought that lasted more than five minutes through the middle of the first half. At the half, the Bearcats were 9-of-36 from the floor and had committed nine turnovers.
With about six minutes before halftime, however, Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin brought out a man-to-man, run-and-jump press that helped the Bearcats gain a foothold in the game. And after the teams returned from the break, the intensity on that press was turned up to Metallica volume. The Musketeers committed four turnovers in the first four minutes, and Cincinnati surged from a 24-22 deficit to a 37-28 lead.
The man-to-man is not the only press in the arsenal. After scoring on a rip-and-run break to gain their first double-digit lead, the Bearcats presented a 2-2-1 fullcourt zone press. The first time the Musketeers saw it, they were forced to spend their fourth of five timeouts. With more than 13 minutes remaining, they had only one left to call.
3. Brad Redford has to make buckets. One of the most lethal 3-point shooters in the nation, Xavier's senior guard hit a combined 6-of-12 in wins over Butler, Drexel and Purdue, but he did not attempt a 3 in the loss to Pacific, was 2-of-6 in the home loss to Vanderbilt and 1-of-8 here.
He made his first 3-pointer and sent a warning that he would be a player the Bearcats needed to guard.
And then they did. He didn't make another the rest of the night, even though he played plenty because of apparent leg cramping that kept out star freshman Semaj Christon for much of the second half. With 7:01 left in the game, he tried a 3-pointer from the right corner that 6-10 Cheikh Mbodj alertly knocked into the XU bench.
Christon will be Xavier's most important offensive option, and his absence damaged any chance Xavier might have had to recover from Cincinnati's second-half blitz. But he's got to have help. Xavier scored barely a point a minute in the final 20.
4. Nobody grinds like the Bearcats. With 5:02 left, wing Jaquon Parker grabbed a defensive rebound for the Bearcats, then found Kilpatrick with the makings of an outlet pass. With his team ahead 53-40, Kilpatrick chose not to dribble into a fast break but instead to stop and wave for Wright to come and take command of the ball. Those who'd seen Cincinnati before had to know what that meant.
It's like an NFL team using its running game to chew up the clock. The Bearcats spread the court, try to get isolated one defenders and essentially will attempt only a wide-open layup or 3-pointer. There are games when that doesn't work as efficiently and they'll see a double-digit lead slowly cut down to a one-possession game, but generally they escape such games with a victory.
Cincinnati scored only two points over the next three minutes, but Xavier drew no closer in that stretch.

Environmental Science Major Requirements | Environmental Science Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
The Environmental Science major prepares students to analyze, understand, and solve environmental problems.
The program of study in the Environmental Science major is interdisciplinary, emphasizing an integrated approach to knowledge in the field. Because the study of environmental problems requires a sound understanding of scientific principles, the Environmental Science major is grounded in the natural sciences and mathematics. The curriculum includes a social science component, enabling students to gain an understanding of environmental economic and policy issues. Field experiences, internships and practicums are emphasized.
This major helps to develop the following skills and abilities: 1) formulate and interpret models that describe environmental processes; 2) facility with laboratory and field instrumentation, software for statistical analysis and modeling, taxonomic keys, and other practical skills; 3) design and implement research strategies and procedures to collect, organize, evaluate, and interpret data that characterize environmental systems; 4) characterize and analyze human impacts on the environment; 5) design and evaluate strategies, technologies and methods for remediation of degraded environments; 6) design and evaluate strategies for sustainable management of environmental systems; and 7) access and manage data resources applicable to environmental processes and management.
This major is designed for students who are seriously interested in environmental concerns and studies. Students who plan to pursue this major should emphasize science and mathematics in their course work. Courses in biology, chemistry, geoscience, physics, and mathematics provide the needed background.
While many universities are just beginning to recognize the need for environmental science programs, UW-Green Bay has nearly 40 years of teaching and research experience in the field. Its program was one of the first in the nation. The interdisciplinary focus allows students to have a diverse education. They receive hands-on and practical learning experiences in both laboratory and field. A significant number of graduates of this major gain entry-level positions in the environmental science field. About one-third of these positions are in the public sector, and two-thirds are in the private sector in industries, business, and engineering consulting firms. Numerous graduates have successfully completed master's and doctoral degrees.
Faculty members are actively addressing environmental problems and their solutions at the regional, national and international levels. This activity keeps them up to date on current trends and topics in the field. They provide opportunities for undergraduates to become involved in their research projects, where students can gain valuable knowledge and experience. Faculty members are highly involved in the students' education, both inside and outside of the classroom.
Environmental Science students have access to modern computer facilities which are continually upgraded. Computing software resources emphasizing geographic information systems (GIS) and mathematical modeling and statistical analysis tools also are available. In addition to general access computer laboratories, students can also use a science-dedicated computer laboratory.
Students wishing to gain hands-on field experiences have access to the Cofrin Center for Biodiversity which includes the 290-acre Cofrin Memorial Arboretum on campus, several natural areas in the region, the University Herbarium, and the Richter Museum of Natural History. The latter two facilities have recently moved to new and expanded space. A variety of equipment is available for environmental measurements and monitoring.
Laboratory instrumentation enhances student opportunities to perform chemical analyses which are important in environmental monitoring. Such instrumentation includes mass spectrometers, infrared and visible-ultraviolet spectrophotometers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, gas-liquid chromatographs, and high-performance liquid chromatographs. In addition to opportunities to monitor air and surface-water quality, students also have the opportunity to monitor ground water; three wells have been drilled on campus specifically for that purpose.
As industries recognize their responsibility to help create and maintain a sustainable environment, often achieving efficiencies in the process, they create positions dealing with waste management, pollution reduction, and other environmental responsibilities. Many UW-Green Bay Environmental Science graduates find employment in these industries or go on to advanced study in environmental science or other scientific disciplines.
The following list represents some careers that have been pursued by Environmental Science graduates: agricultural scientist, botanist, ecologist, forest ranger, oceanographer, agricultural technician, engineering technician, forester, air and water quality manager, environmental analyst, park ranger, air pollution analyst, environmental consultant, environmental educator, geologist, project manager, environmental engineer, geophysicist, biologist, hazardous waste manager, hydrologist, environmental lawyer, chemical technician, soil conservation technician, chemist, management consultant, teacher, meteorologist, urban and regional planner, civil engineer, environmental planner, microbiologist/wastewater plant operator, natural resource specialist, wildlife manager, conservationist, zoologist.
Students may study abroad or at other campuses in the United States through UW-Green Bay's participation in international exchange programs and National Student Exchange. Travel courses are another option for obtaining academic credits and completing requirements.

Santa to Visit GLSM
ST. MARYS — Campers at Grand Lake St. Marys today will get a dose of the holidays.
The annual Christmas in July weekend, which started Friday, wraps up today with a slew of activities for campers. Today's event kicks off with Santa arriving at 10 a.m. to pass out treats to children.
"The whole day is themed around Christmas," Grand Lake St. Marys Park Manager Brian Miller told The Evening Leader.
Starting at 1 p.m. the park's naturalist will work with children on making Christmas stockings. At 2:30 p.m., children will make snowflakes; at 3:30 p.m., they will make ornaments; at 4:30 p.m., they will make snowmen; at 5:30 p.m., there will be a coloring contest and at 6:30 p.m., there will be a cookie decorating contest.
"At 8:30 p.m., we will have our campsite judging," Miller said. "We encourage the campers to decorate their sites in a Christmas theme and the winner will be announced at 9 p.m. Saturday. Saturday night, we will have the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas.'"
Miller said theme weekends often help drive traffic to the campgrounds during lull points in the summer. This weekend, Miller said the park has 40 reservations, but he anticipated some walk-in traffic.
"Some people really enjoy the theme weekends," Miller said. "It can increase visitation for the weekend and that's the biggest part for us — just increasing visitation. Grand Lake St. Marys needs to get people out here and acquainted with camping. I think we have one of the cleanest campgrounds in the area. Our volunteers really take great pride in keeping it clean."
Forecasts for a heat wave also could impact attendance, Miller noted.
"It does here right now because of the water quality issues as far as the heat goes," Miller said. "I think if people could get in the water and cool off, I think we would be OK, but that's hurting us now. You go where it's hot and some people can withstand it."
Officials are in the process of planning another theme weekend for August.
"Aug. 5-7 will be All About the Kids weekend," Miller said. "We will have games, inflatables for the kids and Saturday will be a day for kids to have fun. We thought it would be a good things to try to get visitors in August and sort of a neat gesture before school starts."

We are really excited to help pioneer this new technology for financial institutions. It is the next trend in mBanking.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2012
Significant transformation is occurring within the tech sector and financial institutions. In 2012, we saw mobile used in banking more than ever before. From applications that allow for deposits of checks via a mobile device, to gift cards being redeemed with a cell phone, mBanking is shaping up to be the next big innovation within the world of personal finance.
Financial institutions are using mBanking to increase revenue through utilizing their maximum value in assets. Because of these emerging technologies, there is a decreasing need for physical branches. This is beneficial for a bank's clientele because leveraging technology to service a customer's daily banking needs allows for a more personalized service when an individual needs to complete a transaction in a branch.
Continuing with the increasing innovations within mBanking, Avenue Code is gearing up to develop an application that allows for wireless withdrawl of funds from ATM machines. The app utilizes a smartphone, as opposed to a debit card, to allow for the transaction to occur. Avenue Code's VP of Global Services David Bealby says, "We are really excited to help pioneer this new technology for financial institutions. It is the next trend in mBanking."
About Avenue Code:
Avenue Code is a full service information technology consulting and development organization that specializes in Agile Methodologies and beyond. With a breadth of experience in eCommerce, distributed and offshore development and management consulting, Avenue Code has the expertise for targeted solutions. Our solutions help our clients build sustainable success.

Introduced by Michael Dirda
Illustrated by Sam Weber
Afterword by Brian Herbert
Illustrated by award-winning artist Sam Weber, a collector's edition of Frank Herbert's phenomenal tale of far-future desert warriors, fallible messiahs and interplanetary intrigue. Published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the world's best-selling science-fiction title.
Published price: US$ 135.00

'No more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero'
Arrakis, or Dune, is a planet of nothingness – its torched wastelands are home to a fierce nomadic people, and under the endless deserts stalk gargantuan sandworms the size of starships. It is a place where water is sacred – 'a substance more precious than all others' – where to shed a tear is the most taboo of all sacrifices. And yet the planet is also humanity's sole source of 'spice', the mysterious, addictive substance that underpins the workings of the galaxy-wide Padishah Empire. To control Arrakis is to control all. And it is across its vast expanses and in its arid caves that Frank Herbert's epic adventure of political subterfuge and messianic deliverance is played out, a story that has become the best-selling science-fiction novel of all time, and is considered by many to be the genre's greatest work.
Original appendices included as follows, including the 'Terminology of the Imperium:
Even now, half a century since it first appeared in 1965, Dune is certainly still 'the one – it continues to top readers' polls as the greatest science fiction novel of modern times. Many would say of all time. Before Star Wars, before A Game of Thrones, Frank Herbert brought to blazing life a feudalistic future of relentless political intrigue and insidious treachery, a grandly operatic vision – half-Wagner, half-spaghetti western – of a hero discovering his destiny. Characters include elite samurai-like warriors, sadistically decadent aristocrats, mystical revolutionaries, and, not least, those monster worms, which barrel along under the desert surface with the speed of a freight train, then suddenly emerge from the sand like Moby Dick rising from the depths.
Once settled on Arrakis, Duke Leto hopes to bring a more humane government to this forlorn planet. He initially sends his master at arms, Duncan Idaho, to form an alliance with the native Fremen, who, encased in still suits that recycle all their body fluids, can survive in seemingly impossible conditions. Others in Leto's close circle of advisors include the logical, Mr Spock-like 'Mentat' and assassin Thufir Hawat, the troubadour swordmaster Gurney Halleck, and the sensitive Dr Wellington Yueh. However, Baron Harkonnen – one of the most repulsive villains in literature – has plans of his own for the Atreides household. To escape Harkonnen traps-within-traps, Lady Jessica and Paul must eventually flee into the desert, where they will gradually discover what her son calls his 'terrible purpose.'
Like David Lean's film Lawrence of Arabia – the modern work of art Dune most resembles – Herbert's novel exhibits epic sweep while remaining, at heart, the intensely moving story of a young man caught up in a myth. To become a hero, let alone a messiah, is to cut oneself off from all others; to watch friends sink into worshipers; to loose forces that may be impossible to control; ultimately, after sowing the wind, to reap the whirlwind.
Frank Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington, in 1920. He took his first newspaper job at the age of nineteen. After serving in the US Navy as a photographer, he studied briefly at the University of Washington. His first science-fiction story, 'Looking for Something,' was published in the pulp-science-fiction magazine Startling Stories (1952), and his first novel, The Dragon in the Sea (1956) was serialized soon afterwards. He began work on his most famous work, Dune, in 1959, which was serialized by Analog magazine between 1963 and 1965. Finally published as a book, with modifications, in 1965, Dune won the inaugural Nebula Award for Best Novel and the Hugo Award in 1966, and Herbert went on to write five popular sequels. Herbert wrote for a number of newspapers, including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, lectured at the University of Washington, and served as an ecological consultant in Vietnam and Pakistan. He published many other science-fiction novels, such as his WorShip series and the ConSentient novels, but Dune, which was made into a film in 1984 (two years before Herbert's death), and into a television series in 2000, remains his most enduring work.
Sam Weber was born in Alaska, and grew up in Deep River, Ontario, Canada. After attending the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Sam moved to New York to pursue illustration and attend graduate school at The School of Visual Arts. His previous work for The Folio Society includes Lord of the Flies (2009) and Fahrenheit 451 (2011). His illustrations for Dune were painted in oil on board, with the black-and-white chapter headings in ink and charcoal on paper.
Michael Dirda is a Pulitzer Prize-winning critic. After earning a PhD in comparative literature from Cornell University, he joined the Washington Post in 1978. He is the author of four collections of essays and literary journalism: Readings (2000), Bound to Please (2005), Book by Book (2006), and Classics for Pleasure (2007). His other works include a memoir, An Open Book (2003), and the critical biographical study, On Conan Doyle (2011), which received a 2012 Edgar Award. He is currently at work on a study of popular fiction during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century.
Brian Herbert was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1947, the elder son of Frank Herbert. His biography of his father, Dreamer of Dune: The Biography of Frank Herbert (2003), was a finalist for the Hugo Award. Keeping alive the fantasy world which Herbert Snr created, he has collaborated with Kevin J. Anderson on numerous prequels and sequels to the Dune novels, which have regularly featured on the New York Times bestseller list. His other novels include Sidney's Comet (1983), Sudanna, Sudanna (1986), Man of Two Worlds (1986, co-authored with Frank Herbert), The Race for God (1990), and Ocean (2013), which he co-authored with his wife, Jan Herbert.

Richard B. Wirthlin, a pollster and strategist whose research, particularly on voters' personal values, helped steer Ronald Reagan's political career from his early years as California governor through his two terms in the White House, has died. He turned 80 a day before his death from natural causes Wednesday at his home in Salt Lake City, his family said.
A former economics professor, Wirthlin became what the Washington Post called the "prince of polling" after helping Reagan win the presidency in 1980. After the election, he met regularly with Reagan in the White House, conducting research that helped guide the popular president on such critical issues as taxes, defense and American support for the Nicaraguan contras.
"I am deeply saddened by the death of Richard Wirthlin," former First Lady Nancy Reagan said in a statement Thursday. "Dick was part of my husband's political team from the very beginning, and what began as a working relationship went on to become a lifelong friendship. He was smart, thoughtful and understood Ronnie as well as anyone."
Wirthlin built a polling and research firm that was a training ground for a number of leading pollsters and was respected by colleagues in both major parties.
"It was a delight to work with him and excruciating to work against him," said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart. "He was an unbelievably talented professional who got more from data than anybody in our generation of pollsters. He was tremendously innovative in … the way in which he put data together and analyzed it."
Wirthlin was particularly noted for applying to the political arena research techniques that corporations used to shape or improve their images.
"We all understand the role of issues in politics, such as abortion, guns and gay marriage. But Richard Wirthlin really elevated the importance of identifying critical values which might be different for Democrats and Republicans and communicating those values in the course of political speeches," said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster who heads the American Assn. of Political Consultants. "When President Reagan talked about the importance of work, family and faith, a lot of that was rooted in Richard Wirthlin's research."
Wirthlin formed his own polling and research firm, Decision Making Information, in 1969. Later named the Wirthlin Group and Wirthlin Worldwide, it conducted research not only for political figures but also for many Fortune 100 companies. In one of Wirthlin's most successful campaigns, he helped the American Plastics Council combat negative publicity in the 1990s about the effect of plastics on the environment.
The son of a Mormon bishop, Wirthlin was born in Salt Lake City on March 15, 1931. After completing his mission in Switzerland and serving in the Army at Utah's Dugway Proving Ground, he married Jeralie Mae Chandler in 1956. She survives him along with seven children, 27 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Trained in economics and statistics at the University of Utah, where he earned bachelor's and master's degrees, and UC Berkeley, where he received his doctorate, he began his academic career teaching economics at the UC San Francisco medical school. In 1964, he joined the faculty at Brigham Young University in Utah and became chair of the economics department. He conducted polling work on the side, which drew the attention of political operatives in California.
In 1968, associates arranged a meeting for him with a prospective client but would not disclose the client's identity. Wirthlin, who had been a supporter of President Lyndon B. Johnson, was not a fan of then-Gov. Reagan, who was considering a presidential run. "I believed the comments made about Gov. Reagan, that he was insensitive, that he was uncaring, that he was easily programmed, was not a strong leader, needed a script for everything he did," Wirthlin recalled in a 1984 Washington Post interview.
After sitting down with Reagan for two hours at the latter's home in Pacific Palisades, Wirthlin changed his opinion and began a professional association that would span two decades.
He had critics who accused him of sometimes presenting too rosy a picture to the president. He once miscalled an election for another client, Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Marshall Coleman, who lost the 1980 race to Charles Robb after being assured of victory by Wirthlin's polls.
Wirthlin, like Reagan, had an optimistic nature, which perhaps contributed to the rapport he had with his most important client. He had direct access to Reagan in monthly meetings at the White House.
"I think Dick was very important to Reagan," Reagan biographer Lou Cannon said Thursday. "Dick did a lot of things besides just giving numbers. He really went into why people were thinking of doing something."
During the 1980 presidential campaign, for instance, Wirthlin decided to conduct research on voters' attitudes toward Reagan's age. (Reagan would turn 70 after taking office.) "Wirthlin must have done half a dozen or more permutations on it. He found age was not an issue except among those 65 or older," Cannon said. "They decided not to hide his age but celebrate it. They had all these birthday parties all over the place. It got to be quite funny."
Richard B. Wirthlin dies at 80; pollster and strategist helped steer Reagan's political career
Richard B. Wirthlin, a pollster and strategist whose research, particularly on voters' personal values, helped steer Ronald Reagan's political career from his early years as California governor through his two terms in the White House, has died. He turned 80 a day before his death from natural causes Wednesday at his home in Salt Lake City, his family said.

Europe may delay transparency
The push for clinical trial transparency may be delayed. Pharmalot reports that the European Medicines Agency is wading through more than 1,000 comments supporting the initiative and vociferous attacks from the industry and its backers who claim the initiative will threaten patient safety and corporate intellectual property. Threats to pack up and take jobs elsewhere have also accompanied industry concerns.
The EMA planned on having data out in the open by January 2104. It will decide in December if this date is still possible.

There's been a bit of hemming and hawing regarding whether Max Biaggi would take the Champion's Honor and wear the number one on his Alitalia Aprilia RSV4 Factory race bike in this season's World Superbike Championship. But that speculation has seemingly come to an end now, as during the WSBK "class photo" today, Biaggi's Aprilia RSV4 wheeled-out of the garage with the #1 plate blazing.
Reports from the World Superbike paddock suggest that Aprilia is keen to make a showing of its success last season with the #1 plate, while Biaggi would prefer to retain his venerable #3 logo, which is his current official listing with World Superbike.

Recommend Electronic Rentals
Why rent electronics? There are a number of situations that call for an electronic rental in today's technology-savvy world. Electronics are used in most every facet of life including home, office, education, retail, dining, and recreation. People in every profession, of every background, and every age utilize electronics and technology in some manner.
Some situations are electronically dependent, and would suffer greatly if their electronic item were out of commission. If you work for an online business, in a restaurant that uses credit card machines, for a dj company, or rely on an electronic item in any capacity, there is no need to worry when that product experiences a malfunction or becomes damaged. Instead, relieve your anguish while the item is being fixed by renting one through Rent It Today.
In some instances, an electronic item is used simply to improve the output of a particular task. An example would include the use of a kiosk at a trade show to produce eye-catching images to support your product. A further example would be the addition of a large screen projector at a training to include graphics and content to an otherwise mundane lecture.
The most effective way to relay information to a group of people is through the use of audio visual (AV) equipment. By using AV rental electronics, you engage your audience two-fold. During the verbal presentation of the information, the use of a projector or video projector adds visual support to enhance your message. By utilizing a projector during your session, you can highlight key information with bullet points, add entertaining images, and further support your topic with graphs and charts. Yet another benefit of using a form of projection is the ability to reach any size crowd. You are sure to capture the attention of a handful of people during a staff meeting, as well as the attendees of a large corporate event or wedding when projecting your information up onto a projector screen.
Audio visual aids are also important in a school setting. Aside from the use of a projector to teach information, educators also creatively use films, radio, and televisions to stress their academic concepts. Whether for professional, educational, or personal intent, when you are in need of an audio visual rental, Rent It Today is the only rental resource you'll need.
When the big game is coming on or you are having a viewing party of any sort, watch in style by renting a state of the art television. Through Rent It Today, you can rent a Plasma or Liquid Crystal Display High Definition Television (LCD HDTV). Both provide an excellent viewing experience sure to entertain your guests.
Other situations in which a television rental would be an asset are during a convention, tradeshow, or large personal event. By utilizing a Plasma or LCD HDTV, you can provide an optimum viewing experience for your audience in the form of pictures, videos, shows, or by information acquired from your personal computer.
Looking for a way to liven up a party? Nobody can resist the fun of karaoke, but buying a karaoke machine can be a costly investment. The best way to invigorate guests, make memories to last a lifetime, and ensure a good time for your attendees is to rent a karaoke machine. Amateurs singing their favorite tunes would be a great addition to any weekend gathering, birthday party, charity event, or school fundraiser.
If you are hosting a party, holding a conference, or are planning an interactive event, you can also rent game consoles. Some of the more popular versions available for rent are the Nintendo Wii, XBOX 360, and Sony Playstation. Gaming equipment, including Guitar Hero, can also make your event memorable and energize the participants of an otherwise routine corporate event. After an enjoyable renting experience with a gaming console, you may consider one for purchase. With Rent It Today, you can locate companies offering items with a rent to own option.
Is your school or church hosting a talent show? Is it time for your company's big annual fundraiser? Are you a speaker at a conference or training? In all three formats, as well as numerous others, quality sound equipment is imperative. Sound equipment can also be referenced as public address (PA) or sound system equipment. The use of microphones, speakers, amplifiers, and mixers all comprise the making of a sound system.
Microphones are becoming more comprehensive and come in different formats, including push-to-talk and wireless headset. It is difficult to keep up with the best in sound equipment when technology is constantly changing. Therefore, instead of buying a microphone that may quickly become obsolete, it is better to rent the most up-to-date versions available.
Also frequently updated, and equally important to sound output, are mixers, amplifiers, and speakers. A mixer will allow you to control the volume and balance of your voice or instruments. An amplifier is essential to run sound equipment in a wireless format, which is now considered the norm. And speakers are what determine the loudness of the music, instruments, or information being produced. In order to provide an auditorally appealing concert or conference, it is crucial to use the best equipment available. That equipment, however, is expensive. Instead of making a costly investment on items that may possibly become out-of-date or that do not meet the needs of your event, the better option is to rent sound equipment or sound accessories as needed.
Lighting is equally as important as the sound for entertainment at a musical or informational event. Aside from illumination, lighting comes in the form of projected images, color, and special effects. The specific manner of lighting used can create or enhace the atmosphere of an event. For example, a wedding may require dimming brightness, whereas a concert could use effects such as flashes, simulated fireworks, and beam lighting. Different variations of lighting to meet the intent of your particular event can be rented from companies found on Rent It Today.
Mobile communication devices have made it possible to keep in contact, stay up-to-date, and remain accessible at all times. The number of individuals that use a form of mobile communication is already high, and continues to grow with each year and each advancement. Examples of mobile communication devices available from companies on Rent It Today include sat phones, cell phones and wireless cards.
A satellite cell phone, also known as a sat phone, has similar capabilities to a typical cell phone including internet access, text and calling. The differentiation comes in the form of its network connection. Instead of cell towers, a sat phone works with orbiting satellites, which allows it a greater coverage area than a typical cell phone. A satellite phone is the most reliable mobile communication option, particularly during natural disasters including hurricanes and earthquakes that may knock out cell towers. Further, no matter the geographic location of the user, a satellite phone is the dependable form of communication that will allow communication no matter the distance between individuals.
Wireless internet cards have modified the ability to work while in an area that does not otherwise have internet access. A wireless card is an adapter card that adds internet functionality to your device, typically a laptop computer. A wireless internet card rental is an ideal option for a business traveler or someone needing extra time to complete a project while away from the office, and Rent It Today markets a number of wireless internet cards to match various laptop configurations.

Clearing the airway
For years, equine veterinarians Jim Chiapetta, DVM, JD, and Ed Blach, DVM, MS, MBA, were intrigued by a common phenomenon in horses—the nostrils' tendency to collapse during heavy inspiration brought on by strenuous work or exercise. Aware that some human athletes were promoting the use of nasal strips to open airways and increase respiration, the duo developed nasal strips for working horses to similarly improve their performance.
The goal was simple: open the airway to enhance airflow.
Since the equine nasal strips were developed more than 10 years ago, a growing body of research has examined their effectiveness. Susan Holcombe, VMD, MS, PhD, DACVS, DACVECC; Edward Robinson, BVetMed, PhD; and colleagues at Michigan State University examined nasal passages using videoendoscopy (in one horse) and noted that the nasal strip did open the airway.1 They also carefully measured airway pressures, but they did not quantify exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage—bleeding in the lungs—either via endoscopy or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).
Nonetheless, their findings revealed a significant effect on airway mechanics during maximal exercise.1 Peak tracheal inspiratory pressure and inspiratory airway resistance were reduced when horses wore the nasal strips while exercising at speeds at and above those that yielded their maximal heart rates. Analysis of these results suggests that the nasal strip increases the diameter of the nasal passage and stability of the soft tissue structures in the nose.
This conclusion was supported by results of endoscopic examination of the nasal valve in one of the horses, which revealed that the strip tented the skin over the nasal valve, pulled the dorsal conchal fold laterally and increased the cross-sectional area of the dorsal meatus, resulting in decreased airway resistance during inspiration. The team concluded that "the nasal strip probably decreases the amount of work required for respiratory muscles in horses during intense exercise and may reduce the energy required for breathing in these horses."1 This was an observation that was substantiated using rigorous laboratory science.
