Django testing sprint in Tel-Aviv, Israel, on August 17, 2008, 10:00 (UTC+03)
We'll be holding a Django testing sprint in Tel-Aviv University campus, Schreiber building, room 319, on Sunday, August 17, 2008. See map. If attendees are interested, we can also carry the sprint over to Monday.
This sprint will focus on testing the 1.0-rc release (see 1.0 roadmap). More details will be posted here and announced on django-dev as we get closer to the sprint.
What's a sprint? How do I participate?
See Sprints for information about how sprints work, how you can participate, etc.
Anybody, anywhere around the world, can participate and contribute. We'll be gathering in person in Tel-Aviv, but if you can't make it you can also participate through IRC. Knowing python really helps; here's a simple tutorial.
This sprint will examine the behavior of Django players to test if 1.0 release candidate is ready. We will focus on two types of users: first timers and experienced users. First timers can either show up or use IRC to get instant help from the experts.
Tasks for experienced Django users
- Refactoring an existing project to 1.0 rc
- Start a fresh project on top of 1.0 rc
- Set up a day of work with a friend and help him as he learns django 1.0 rc
Community requirements
- Steven Holden wants better testing bots
- Improving testing-bot performance; start from #8318
For the less experienced
- We'll give Q&D introductions to Python, Web programming, etc, if beginners want any.
- We'll study Django (critically, in-depth), mapping the territory, "using the source, Luke", experimenting, and telling the world about it all.
- Gain experience in using lots and lots of tools while working...
And, of course, all must have fun. This is absolutely required.
Do come! And bring your geeky friends, too. T'will be a great opportunity to learn, discuss and code with some kick-ass Django and Python experts. (Well, at least one. ;o) And lots of fun!
If you plan to participate in the sprint, add your name to the roster below.
So that everyone knows who'll be there, please add your name below along with the day(s) you're interested in attending.
In Tel Aviv
- Benny Daon (Sunday & Monday)

Win and they're in. Anything else and ... well, it's complicated.
Heading into Tuesday's final match day of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for next summer's
Here are the scenarios Mexico faces, from best to worst:
• If El Tri beats Costa Rica by at least two goals and winless Jamaica beats Honduras, Mexico would move past Honduras into third place and join the U.S. and Costa Rica as one of CONCACAF's three automatic qualifiers for Brazil.
• If Mexico plays Costa Rica to a draw or if Panama does not beat the U.S., Mexico will finish fourth in CONCACAF, advancing to a two-leg playoff with Oceania champion New Zealand next month with a World Cup berth at stake.
• If Mexico loses to Costa Rica and Panama beats the U.S., then El Tri is eliminated from the World Cup for the first time since 1990 and Panama moves on to play New Zealand.
For Mexican Coach Victor Manuel Vucetich, there's one way to make all that simple: beat Costa Rica.
"We still need to win the next game," he said.
That would be a challenge regardless of the circumstances. Although Mexico hasn't lost at Costa Rica in 21 years, it will be playing a team Tuesday that hasn't lost at home in four matches in the final round of qualifying, conceding just one goal.
"We have to give it our all to get the three points," Santos Laguna forward Oribe Peralta, who scored Mexico's first goal in last Friday's crucial win over Panama, told reporters. "We know that with one point we are in the playoff but we will go in with the intention of qualifying directly if we get the right result in Honduras. It's still possible but it doesn't depend on us."
Nor does the fate of Panama, which could also affect Mexico's chances. The Central Americans, needing a win and some help from Costa Rica to reach the World Cup for the first time in its history, will be playing a depleted U.S. team that has already clinched a berth in Brazil and has assured itself of finishing first in qualifying for the third time in as many cycles.
Perhaps as a result, the U.S. team traveled to Central America without captain and goalkeeper Tim Howard and defender Matt Besler. Six other American starters —

I'd say the candy scene was more telling on character development though. What with how much understanding and self awareness Yamato shows there. You kinda get to see how far he's come since meeting the protagonist (like finally growing a conscience) Takoyaki scene is more of a demonstration on how clueless he really is about the outside world and how actually eager to learn and open to new things. That and also showing how he values the protagonists opinions above his own judgement and teachings. I think I actually love all of his events since he's almost as bad as Alcor at How-Do-You-Human-101. Yeah, I know. It's a tragedy but it's still amusing to watch.
My stand is that someone should stick him into a daycare worker uniform and dump a bunch of children on him with Hibiki supervising for misconduct. It'd be the ultimate shock therapy on socialization. That or he'd organize them into a guerilla army to take over the playground but still a win is a win.
EDIT: omg finally short post \^o^/ and thanks Kimi <3 all I'm doing is ranting out feels though???

I kind of wish they didn't reveal the Anguished One's name as Alcor so early in the anime. If people bother to look at where the Septentriones' names came from, it's a pretty big hint on what he truly is.
I also don't want to see him lose his Al Saiduq name, because that name along with his lack of human common sense is hilarious.

I appreciate the anime trying to make Ronaldo and Keita more reasonable, but why do they find it necessary to shaft the other characters, especially Yamato, Daichi and Alcor, my favorites. From the short scene we have, Jungo in anime actually sounds like someone of normal intelligence.

Blizzard, if there was a thank you feature, I would so use it. You put a lot of thought in your arguments, and while your posts are long, they are not unreadable. I'll take back the "no redeeming qualities" part about Yamato, and I guess I neglected to mention that Yamato has enough story to understand how he came to be like he is, and my version of an ideal world would pretty much be a kinder version of his, where people are judged based on ability, but the less "amazing" will also have their own respectable place. In the end, I actually like him as a character, but I would never get along with him as a person. On the flipside, I would at least attempt to be friends with Ronaldo in an attempt to save him from his own passion.
I'd also like to point out that he can be made aware of his flaws when you point them out.

There's nothing to understand, murder is murder. It's just like how people parade around mass killers as super stars. Every time they do it nothing ever changes and "trying to understand them" always leads to nothing except making people forget about the Victims and tune in on what the Murderer may or may not say next.
Ronaldo should be locked up and tried as a murderer and terrorist for all the BS he pulls. Whether he thinks what he did was right or not doesn't change that it was dead wrong and the blood of innocents are on his hands. Blood that he NEVER takes responsibility for.

I have a problem with Yamato's face in the anime too. Not only does he look much older, (I mean he had a friggin round baby-face in the game) the sprites I remember they used the most by default were his smirking one and that one fanged haughty laughter. Here, he hardly shows the former while I don't remember running across the latter even once.
That and they're sacrificing Daichi to make Io look better and give her more screen time and early character development. Normally it'd be good but Daichi is the bff of high plot importance. I guess his fault for not having boobs? The plot is too male character centered to begin with so figures they'd try to achieve a balance like this (and screw up)
And by removing Ronaldo's backstory they're also removing the human element from his character. Now he's just a -okay I won't go through the same darn wall of text I did in game comparison thread and risk spoilers- But now he's reduced to an one dimensional plot device for extra conflict.
Don't get me wrong, I do love the idea of an anime original route. Break Record is going to redo everything else fully voiced by June anyway. And many things from a game with multiple endings wouldn't carry out well to anime medium to begin with. But if they lose the essence of characters it wouldn't be a new route but a new verse. In any case I'll watch and see where it goes for now.

I think the bigger problem is that Ronaldo lacks the scenes Yamato has to show other aspects of his character.
As Blizzard mentioned, there are multiple scenes like the candy scene and the taiyaki scene where we learn how sheltered and socially awkward he is.
Most if not all of Ronaldo's scenes that don't involve him attacking JPs or leaving him to die are just investigation work where Hibiki helps him find the info Yamato won't tell anyone himself. In a way, that is helpful to the protagonist to show a side of Yamato isn't entirely benevolent, but it doesn't add much depth to Ronaldo himself. That and as I mentioned before, it's strange how Ronaldo talks about helping the weak, but we never see any scenes where he does this. There's no giving food to the poor or helping the injured or anything of the sort. We see Io doing this and Makoto disobeying orders to allow her to do this, but not the guy who preaches about it the most.
All that leaves us is a guy who is devoted to nothing but revenge.

Extra scenes would still not justify what he does to Makoto. She was defeated and the only reason he chose to kill her over capturing her is because she was close to Yamato and he wanted to get back at Yamato at any way he could.
You're also right that despite Ronaldo's preaching he's nerve shown actually doing the nice things he wants done. Hell, Makoto disobeys orders to help others and she always puts lives before her duty if she can.

One has to play both Ronaldo and Yamato routes to understand their characters more. Unfortunately, many don't play their routes and their fate events and made their own conclusions.
Ronaldo comes off as an person consumed by anger until end of Day 6, if that supposedly makes one human...
Guess what happens on Day 7 Ronaldo's Way, which showed scenes which emphasize his hypocritical nature, which I already mentioned on page 1.

I have played both routes, all endings too.
Ronaldo is simply irredeemable in the game and his murder of Makoto isn't even touched upon. He does it than thinks nothing of it and you don't even get to press him hard on why he even did it since there was no reason for it.
Anger doesn't justify cold blooded murder. If it did than those that killed their spouse/lover for cheating on them would never be charged with crimes as they were "angry" when they did it. Just like Ronaldo was "angry" with Yamato than took it out on Makoto.

If they do have that Makoto scene in the Anime it will be their best chance to try and redeem Ronaldo by having Ronaldo choose not to murder her but either let her go with a message or capture her.

For an unknown reason, it seems Crunchyroll episode 6 simulcast doesn't have the next episode preview. The TV airing on MBS channel earlier actually had one.
Wednesday story seems to be split at least 2 parts (episode 7 & 8).
I wonder how they are going to handle the other 5 more episodes, maybe 2 episodes of Thursday and 1 episode for Friday-Sunday?
If that's true, Friday and Saturday is going to be really rushed.

I think it's more like they're ALREADY spreading it out between the Septentrions instead of all those long winded fate route subplots? This episode alone gave me quite a lot of flashbacks from when they first decided to split up in three. Though it probably won't be on the same scale.

I think it probably is best that they settle their disputes gradually over the week.
I always found it jarring how some of your closest allies developed over the course of Fate events could suddenly defect in an instant at that point in the game. They should have had their minds made up on what to do long before then.
I will miss some of the conversations though. Some of the re-recruitment scenes were nice, especially Fumi's where she says how it's not fair that Hibiki is both smart and nice while she is only smart. I was quite flattered.

Project Data:
Location: Kinmen, Taiwan
Type: Transportation
Architects: d INKOFF www.dinkoffarchitects.com
Client: Budget Supporting Organization: Ministry of Transportation and Communication.
Host Organization: Kinmen County Government
Area: Site- 5.2 Hectares
Service Center: Phase #1.- 36080 SqM
Phase #2.- 6400 SqM
Construction Budget: US$61,842,000
Consultants: Solar Engineers: Sun Light & Power Co., Berkeley, California, USA
Structural: ARUP, Los Angeles, California, USA
The Sea Port will be Kinmen's gateway and calling card from which travelers gain a sense of the city - the local culture, the people's values and aspirations, and for what they would like to be known. There are three main factors which influence the story that this gateway tells through its architectural vocabulary:
1) Local historic architecture - such as Shuitou Village and Kinmen Folk Cultural Village which express through their roof structures a soaring spirit that is ready for and welcomes the current global technological revolution.
2) Motion of the sea and of ships' bow waves - juxtaposed and combined with the vocabulary of "gateway", a statement of "Welcome to our Land" emerges.
3) Streamlines and arcing profiles of the cruise ships - point to new destinations with a brave and excited sense of exploration.
These three factors combine to form a monument to the city, a Gateway to Kinmen- The Kinmen Passenger Service Center. It would have high visibility and would become a landmark as seen from both the land and sea, remembered by all travelers. The essential function of the site, which is that of an enclosure, or "box", was taken and elongated, the juncture of walls questioned and "massaged" so that a structure embodying the above three thematic principles emerged with an appropriate dynamism. LEED requirements for a harmonious blend with the environment also came into play. The local climate requires that the structure's interior be cooled during most of the year, and a solution was found to satisfy this while minimizing electrical power costs- various devices block the sun on the south, east and west sides, while nothing blocks the sun on the north side, the side facing the sea - providing an interior that is comfortable throughout the year. There are spectacular views from both the ground level and the second floor balconies of ships' arrivals and departures, making the structure exciting for travelers and glamorous as an entertainment facility for local residents. There are three skylights which resemble jellyfish when seen from above and which appear to have glowing tentacles when seen from below. These abstracted "tentacles" give both a dramatic effect and control of interior air temperatures by filtering the sky light. The high ceilings also have facilities for hanging art work to reflect or influence the mood of the season or festive activities.
On the exterior, abstract expressionistic structures are located between the building and the docks to add excitement and attraction. The elongated roof outline, sloping gently toward the south, includes the canopy for passenger drop-offs and efficient positioning of solar panels sufficient to totally satisfy the building's functional needs. The client's program was implemented on two levels: On the Ground Floor are the two lobbies and passengers' luggage check-in and claim areas. Here, the facilities for domestic and international travelers are completely separate. Domestic travelers' boarding and berthing areas are also here. On the south side of the building are the drop-off and pick-up areas with traffic for domestic travelers at the surface, and an underground U-shaped traffic pattern for international travelers. On the Second Floor are boarding and berthing areas for international travelers, and a single Free Waiting Zone for both domestic and international travelers. Here there are shops and restaurants, and access by both domestic and international travelers provides a more efficient use of the space and its facilities.

The Puranas - The arrival of Kalki Avatar
The Puranas - The arrival of Kalki Avatar
The Vedas and the Rishis
Vedas are perhaps the oldest documents of human spirituality. Are divided into four collections:
Rig Veda: is an ancient Indian sacred collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns.
Sama Veda some hymns
Yajur Veda some rites
Atharva Veda: a collection of spells and incantations, stories, predictions, apotropaic charms and some speculative hymns.
The Vedas have been put for registered by the big rishi Vyasa who also wrote the Upanishad, the Vedanta-sutra (comment on the gods essence of Veda), the Puranas and the Mahabbarata (commonly called "fifth Veda").
The Rishi were big test, the thanks to their superconscience were seeing (the root of Veda seeing is vide) the truths and then they transmitted them to others. Therefore they received revelations and known elaborate philosophical systems.
The Puranas and the avatars
The Puranas ("collections of histories of the ancient times" or "holy traditions"), comparable to our Bible, treat five subjects: the creation of the universe; his destruction and recreation; the genealogy of the divinities; the various epoches of the world with indication of the spiritual conduct to keep in the various cycles; the history of big dynasties.
The Puranas are distinguished in 18 (Maha Purana) majors and 18 (Upa Purana) minors, in each of them we find the presence of a particular divinity, of which come present life, cult, mythology, nonchè the demonstrations of the avatara and the relative spiritual teachings. ( the 18 Maha-Purana are: 1 ) Brahma Purana 2) Padma Purana 3) Vishnu Purana 4) Vayu Purana 5) (Bhagavata Purana 6) Naradiya Purana 7 ) Markandeya Purana 8 ) Agni Purana 9 ) Bhavishya Purana 10 ) Brahmavaivarta Purana 11 ) Linga Purana 12 ) Varaha Purana 13 ) Skanda Purana 14 ) Vamana Purana 15 ) Kurma Purana 16 ) Matsya Purana 17 ) Garuda Purana 18 ) Brahmanda Purana.
Someone says: "The Puranas, one of a series of books in the Vedas or Hindu Scriptures, tell the story of a great soul who was to embody four times at critical periods in history to help mankind. The Brahma Rishi Puranas predicted these embodiments as Angiras, Vashishta, Veda Vyasa, and a solar rishi who would be born outside of India and receive the initiatic name, Omraam"..
The Age of Aquarius
The avatara are: Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narashima, Vamana, Parasurama, Rama, Krisna, Buddha. The next one is called Kalki ("the destroyer of the impurities") the tenth avatar which will appear according to the tradition in this epoch. It is interesting to see that the definition of "destroyer of the impurities" or "dirt" recalls one of the twelve Ercole efforts: clean the Augia Stables the homonymous king of the Epei had never cleaned. Stabbio and manure they were so accumulated than the enterprise was appearing impossible. Ercole succeeded in the enterprise deflecting in the stables the course of the Alfeo and Peneo rivers, which swept away, with the impetus of their current, all the huge sudiciume. Waters of the rivers would symbolicly represent the spiritual waters (the initiatic philosophy) of the eleventh sign, the acquarium, waters which would be able to purify the man's subcosciente.
If we consider that Aïvanhov connects the symbol of this labor of Hercules to the sign of Aquarius (see chapter: "The 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 labors of Hercules in connection with the Zodiac," the book "The Zodiac and key man universe ") show profound correspondence between the figure of Kalki Avatar (the destroyer of dirt) and the wise old man (symbol of Aquarius) that pours through his hands, purifying waters on humanity. No coincidence, the symbol of the Teachings of the Universal White Brotherhood, sent in this era by P. Deunov and O.M. Aïvanhov draws fully the Age of Aquarius, the new currents of universality, brotherhood and unity.
Cycles and the Dharma current
According to the Trimurti (Trinity) India we have the following distinctions: Brahma is the creator, Shiva ensure the transition from one world to another, Vishnu, however, the entire cosmic manifestation comes to support and maintain ( "Vishnu the preserver), manifesting itself in many avatars (incarnations of "down") to protect the world from the forces that periodically bring into crisis the cosmic order or dharma. If Vishnu did not intervene in moments of crisis, the disruptive forces have the upper hand. Vishnu is therefore the custodian of the universal law of dharma.
The evolutionary cycles are divided each into four periods called yuga:
the first period is the Age Of The Gold of the truth, in which the humanity has a spontaneous given wisdom from its closeness to the divine one(Satya Yuga);
the second is the age of the silver (Tetra Yuga);
The third is the Age Of The Bronze (Dvapara Yuga);
the last one is the Age or "age of vice") (Kali Yuga).
The Kali Yuga and the Golden Age
Kalki will, according to the tradition of the Puranas, the next avatar of Vishnu, the establishment of the new Golden Age. Appears, symbolically, riding a white horse and brandishing a sword, and will be the end of Kali Yuga, the current Dark Age of prevailing life of passion and the man is likely to increasingly move away from its divine nature, from its itself and then by his dharma and lives, because of this, great anguish and suffering.
Also here can be found deep similarities between the figure of Kalki Avatar, and the coming of Christ in the Apocalypse "... And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse Its rider was named" Faithful "and" True " He judges and makes war with justice. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many diadems; carries a name written that no one knows except him. It is wrapped in a robe dipped in blood and his name and Word of God The armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen white and clean. From his mouth comes a sharp sword to strike the nations with it. He will rule with a rod of iron and will press the winepress of 'furious wrath of God Almighty. A name written on his cloak and on his thigh: King of Kings and Lord of lords.
Renovating the dharma means the current cycle to help man to find it within himself his own divine nature so that it can manifest itself concretely in individual consciousness, in comportanenti individual and therefore in the collective ones. "You are gods" warned Jesus in the Gospels (Psalm 82: 6, St John's Gospel 10: 34)! Here's whole being to live with this truth is the dharma individual and collective will to respect the laws of morality Cosmic. Not the ascetic withdrawal, but the realization in the field, in the temple interior, behavior, thoughts and feelings.
Perhaps we can say that the avatar, from the viewpoint of the event, regardless of any and questionable identifications with a particular individual, is certainly a divine principle that is manifested, an initiatory teachings that unfolds (which falls on humanity as the 'the Sage of Aquarius pours water on the community) and which speaks to man offering his hand to lift the darkness, suffering in which he fell. It 'a teaching that gives all those who want it, possibilities and methods (see this page) to find "the family home.
Someone says:"This is a direct quote: In Kali Yuga, when mankind has fallen very low, when vices and lies are rampant and sin and evil are at their peak, then will come one who will save the world and bring in the new Solar Culture. He will take birth in the eight month of pregnancy. His masculine and feminine natures will be perfectly in balance and polarized, he will be androgenous in his consciousness fully enlightened with a vast knowledge of the universe. This knowledge he will bring from his previous incarnations [Angiras, Vashishta, and Veda Vyasa], but he will now present it in a new way. He will be born in a foreign land. He will have all knowledge and all powers of the Seven Rays of the sun. He will be a devotee of the sun. The initial letters of his first name will be MI, and A will be the first letter of the second name. He will be attracted to the Indian subcontinent and often will be visiting India. He shall be given another name whose first letters will be OM and the following will be RAAM, originating from the sixth incarnation of the Hindu Avatar Ram. He will be given this name suddenly by three Sages in India.
A NEW DAWN: Society and Politics in the Light of Initiatic ScienceI e II I
"Human beings were built by cosmic intelligence in such a way that they can fulfil themselves and reach their full stature only by maintaining ties with a higher world from which they receive light and strength. When human beings rely exclusively on their own limited intellect they deprive themselves of true understanding, and it is this lack that is the cause of all their disastrous mistakes. When men are motivated only by a lust for material possessions and power and act in total disregard for the plans of cosmic intelligence, they stir up layers of the physical and psychic atmosphere and arouse formidable forces whose fury is turned against them.
The Age of Aquarius will soon be upon us, and the tremendous upheavals accompanying it will oblige human beings to understand the reality of the invisible world and the laws that govern it. But the beauty, splendour and harmony of the new life that will emerge from these upheavals will be beyond anything imagined by the human mind.
All those who have been secretly working for the coming of the Kingdom of God throughout the world will join forces and work together, and the bastions of ignorance, materializm and despotism will crumble and collapse. This I tell you. And it will be so! Nothing can prevent the coming of the new era, the new Golden Age."

ZTE Monday announced that it has won the contract for China Mobile's TD-LTE rollout in five major Chinese cities.
According to the contract, ZTE will construct China Mobile's TD-LTE networks in Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shenyang, with more than 13,000 carrier frequencies.
In China Mobile's earlier TD-LTE project in Hong Kong, ZTE was assigned 50 percent of the construction work. ZTE has become the largest LTE device supplier for all such projects initiated by China Mobile.
China Mobile launched the TD-LTE bidding in August 2012, which included contracts for some 20,000 base stations and 52,000 carrier sectors. The TD-LTE devices purchased by China Mobile will be deployed in an expanded trial TD-LTE network in 13 Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Qingdao, Tianjin, Shenyang, Ningbo, Chengdu and Fuzhou.
Huawei, Ericsson and Nokia Siemens were also in the bidding for the contract.
Advancement of China Mobile's TD-LTE is good news for U.S. carrier Clearwire, which has opted to roll out TD-LTE in this country. Verizon Wireless and AT&T have both opted to use FD-LTE. China Mobile's backing of TD-LTE was important to drive scale of the alternative technology to promote device availablity and bring down equiopment costs.
Clearwire's bet may be paying off. Research firm Ovum predicts TD-LTE will go "mainstream" over the next four years, with 25 percent of all LTE connections forecast to include TD-LTE by 2016.

STOCKTON - Margret Baker was not surprised when she learned Monday afternoon that human remains found 48 hours earlier in an Escalon cornfield had been confirmed through dental records to be those of her niece, Dalene Carlson.
STOCKTON - Margret Baker was not surprised when she learned Monday afternoon that human remains found 48 hours earlier in an Escalon cornfield had been confirmed through dental records to be those of her niece, Dalene Carlson.
Having her worst fears realized, however, did nothing to ease the pain Baker felt upon officially being told of the 23-year-old Carlson's tragic fate.
"You always think you can set yourself up for when this happens, but you never do," said Baker, with whom Carlson was living at the time she disappeared. "The only thing I can say is now they can move on and get the person who did do this to her."
Carlson had been missing since Aug. 7, when she was last seen by friends at Finnegan's Pub and Grill on Pacific Avenue.
Family members had maintained hope for more than two months that Carlson would be found alive, but Stockton police spokesman Pete Smith said the condition of the remains made it clear she had been dead for quite some time. Smith said he had been told Carlson's remains were "in an advanced state of decomposition."
A cause of death is still to be determined. Police are hopeful, Smith said, that examination of the remains will help investigators determine "the person or persons" responsible for Carlson's death.
Smith said investigators continue to view three people - Jason Gilley, Jacob Evangelisti and James Cosens - as persons of interest in Carlson's disappearance and death. Police initially arrested Gilley, 25, but prosecutors said they did not have enough evidence to charge him in Carlson's disappearance, and he was released.
"Nobody has been discounted or eliminated that we've had interest in from the beginning, and certainly, Mr. Gilley is counted among those," Smith said.
What turned out to be Carlson's remains were found at about noon Saturday by an Escalon farm worker who was harvesting corn. Deputies from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office were called to the scene, though the case has since been turned over to Stockton police.
Carlson, from Sandpoint, Idaho, moved to Stockton several months before she disappeared. Her aunt described her as "a little social magnet" who loved to laugh, loved to cook and loved animals.
"Her poor dog is going to miss her so much," Baker said, sobbing.
Carlson's death, she added, will leave a gaping void in the lives of those who loved her.
"If you take all the stars in the world and pluck one out, it's never the same," Baker said. "If you have a good bowl of soup and take out the salt, it's not the same. It's not going to be the same without her. She was such a free spirit, a beautiful person. All she wanted to do is enjoy life. Her family is going to deeply miss her."
Baker said funeral arrangements have yet to be made.

Ideas for a geology blog carnival: Part 2
UPDATE (8/25/07): Please see updated post for the latest
To all those with earth science-rich blogs,
The success of science blog carnivals such as The Boneyard (paleontology/paleobiology), Tangled Bank (variety of biology-related topics including ecology, evolution, and genetics), and Carnival of the Blue (ocean sciences) makes me yearn for a geology-focused carnival.
So....I'm hoping that this post can serve as a place to bounce ideas around and get the first edition of this carnival up and running. For example, should we have a 'theme'? Do we want it to focus on a particular topic? Or do we want to highlight the breadth? Does anyone have a good idea for a name? A logo? Do we want a separate blog site, or should we just take turns hosting it?
Let the ideas flow.....hopefully we can reach some consensus and get the inaugural edition, which I can host here, up soon.

Two days before authorities say Nikki McNeil fatally shot her estranged boyfriend,a judge dismissed a domestic violence injunction she had sought against him.
On Thursday, two days before authorities say Nikki McNeil fatally shot her estranged boyfriend through the windshield of her moving car, a Marion County Circuit Court judge dismissed a domestic violence injunction she had sought against him.
Since the Marion County Judicial Center is closed on the weekend, the exact details of what happened during that incident, as well as why the injunction was dismissed, are unknown.
Marion County Sheriff's Office spokesman Judge Cochran said Sunday the agency did investigate the previous domestic violence case late last year, though details are now part of the active investigation.
"We are aware of previous domestic violence," Cochran said. "We are putting our case together and will review the information with the State Attorney's Office.'
McNeil, 33, who has not been charged, told Sheriff's Office detectives Saturday evening that her estranged boyfriend, Lamark Demetries Tucker Sr., 36, became angry when she dropped off their three children at the mobile home the couple once shared.
The home, located in the Concordia Park subdivision about six miles north of Ocala, was purchased by McNeil and Tucker in 1999. After the couple split, it appears Tucker remained at the home and McNeil moved to nearby Flemington.
No one answered the door at the gray-and-white home, which has a burn barrel and tire swing in the front yard. The few neighbors contacted along the street on Sunday would not comment about the incident.
On Saturday, McNeil said she dropped off the children and an angry Tucker took her keys and her cell phone, sheriff's officials said.
She grabbed a spare set of keys and got in her car to leave. Tucker jumped on the hood as she sped about five blocks to U.S. 441 and then turned north.
Tucker, who was climbing from the hood to the roof, remained on the car, even after she made a left turn west onto Northwest 100th Street and eventually to Northwest Gainesville Road.
McNeil told detectives that she stopped numerous times along the route to ask people to call 911. At one point Tucker appeared to be reaching into a pocket, and McNeil told deputies she feared he might be armed.
McNeil then drove onto County Road 329, heading west for approximately two to three miles. At some point she retrieved a gun in the car and shot through the windshield, hitting Tucker.
Soon thereafter, Tucker fell off the top of the car and onto the road, where he was discovered by passing motorists, according to deputies.
McNeil turned the car around, deputies said, and drove to a nearby Kangaroo convenience store where she again asked people to call 911.
After Tucker was found in the road, he was rushed to Ocala Regional Medical Center, where he died.
Sheriff's officials are asking anyone who may have information about the incident to call Detective Bobby LeVay at 368-3586. LeVay referred all questions to Cochran on Sunday.
Tucker has been in trouble with the law since he was 15 years old, according to online court records. In 1992, he was arrested for operating a vehicle without a valid driver's license.
In 1998, when he was 21 years old, Tucker was arrested and charged with one count each of attempted first-degree murder and burglary of a dwelling. The charges were eventually dropped by the State Attorney's Office.
In April 2000, Tucker was arrested and charged with misdemeanor fleeing and attempting to elude a law enforcement officer and having no vehicle registration. He was found guilty.
In August 2008, Tucker was convicted of possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia, though adjudication was withheld. He was placed on three years of probation and was released one year early, records show.
In 2010, he was convicted of one count of possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana. He served probation and was ordered to complete community service.
Attempts to reach Tucker's family on Sunday were unsuccessful. All phone numbers linked to Tucker have been disconnected.

Black Ops - Conspiracy and 9/11Fri Sep 21, 2007 17:13Black Ops - Conspiracy and 9/11
by Clyde Wilson - email@example.com
Our late friend Murray Rothbard used to point out to those who scoffed at "conspiracy theories" that history is indeed full of real conspiracies, and that often conspiracy provides a more satisfactory explanation for an event than the "lone nut theory" that is popular with government spokespersons.
The continuing drumbeat of speculation that 9/11 may have been a U.S. government "black ops" mission, a charge coming from what seems to be a respectable minority of seemingly informed observers, tells us much about the sad condition of the American polity.
I am inclined to think that none of us can possibly have enough information to know the full truth about 9/11. We will not have such information for years, very possibly never. Why, we still don't know the full truth about the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations. In my always humble opinion, the incompetence demonstrated by our rulers before, during, and after 9/11 would be alone enough to bring down any government, without the need for revelations of complicity – if we had a responsible democratic regime.
I am not a "conspiracy theorist," but, like any old newspaperman, I am a skeptic. In the years of my misspent youth as a reporter I saw police chiefs, mayors, newspaper executives, and other dignitaries lie and distort and suppress the truth. I am inclined to suspect that such is even more likely among the feds, for whom the stakes are much greater.
Is the U.S. government capable of such an atrocity? I take this to be true: the politicians who wield the immense powers of the U.S. government will murder Americans if it serves their agenda and they can get away with. To think otherwise is to take an excessively naïve attitude toward Power. Those politicians have a lifetime record of self-serving and lack of moral principle – else they would not be where they are. Power corrupts. Power can only be checked by counter Power. The U.S. government exercises much power that is unchecked, unresponsible, and clandestine. This has been habitual and institutionalized at least since World War II.
Can we judge that the official government story of what happened on 9/11 is unreliable?
We know that politicians lied about the sinking of the "Maine," Pearl Harbour, the Gulf of Tonkin, Waco, and Iraqi WMD. This administration has engaged in more systematic and frequent deception of the public perhaps than any other in recent times. And has been successful at it because the public has never been more ignorant and the media more craven.
Yes, thoughtful citizens have every reason to suspect some self-serving deception in the government story, though this does not necessarily imply actual complicity in the atrocities. It might imply a cover-up of incompetence, irresponsibility, negligence, and fecklessness in high places. The strongest argument against the black ops theory, it seems to me, is that such an accomplishment is beyond the imagination and the competence of the politicians in power.
The most important point here is that Power is by its nature dangerous, acquisitive, and corrupting and must always be watched and questioned by people who wish to retain their freedom. This we have nearly forgotten, but was a watchword to our Founding Fathers. So, let's keep on doubting and challenging official "truth."

Easy A Mini Review (UK - BD)
Chris takes a look at the release of this comedy on the BD that almost wasn't...
Originally neglected on Blu-ray, Sony UK had a last-minute rethink and decided to bring us the adventures of Olive Penderghast in high-definition. Marcus has already covered the film in detail on DVD (linked below), so there's really no need for another lengthy discussion of the plot, but I'll echo his thoughts about Emma Stone. After her 'breakout' role in the comedy Superbad, Miss Stone has continued to impress in her subsequent appearances, including a movie-stealing performance in The House Bunny and a memorable turn in Zombieland. Of course this is what I'd call her first leading role, but she carries the film effortlessly and I think it is her best performance to date. She is an incredibly likeable screen presence and has fantastic comedic timing, and at only twenty two years of age she hopefully has a long and healthy career ahead of her. Anyway, with the Emma Stone love-fest over and done with, let's get on to the Blu-ray review.
Sony's release of Easy A arrives with a 1.85:1 (1080/24p AVC) transfer that generally looks very pleasing. The film was shot digitally using Panavision's Genesis cameras, so film grain haters can sleep easy at night as there's none of that on display. As you'd expect from a digitally shot feature the Blu-ray is very clean and artefact-free throughout, with a nicely detailed picture that brings out the best in the characters and locations. The colour palette is pushed towards the warmer end of the spectrum and rendered very well, and while contrast runs a little hot it is a deliberate choice on the part of the filmmakers. It's been quite some time since I've had anything truly negative to say about a Sony title and that isn't going to change with this release. It's another great effort from what is, in my opinion, the most consistent Blu-ray studio around.
As we all know video is only one half of the high-definition equation. Ably supporting the visual elements is a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack that does all that can realistically be asked of it given the nature of the feature. Easy A is a 'talkie' movie, so I'm happy to report that dialogue is crystal clear throughout. You won't find any high-octane car chases, bone-crunching fights, or earth-shattering explosions here, but there are some nice aural touches here and there (including some neat pans). The general ambiance of the high school is handled well, while exterior locations offer subtle effects like chirping crickets and the like. The liveliest moments occur during a house party and a couple of basketball games, the latter of which includes the film's one and only musical number. There's not a tremendous amount of bass, but it is there to reinforce the music throughout. Speaking of music, the soundtrack is peppered with songs from hip bands I've never heard of, but they suit the tone of the film and expand to fill the soundstage nicely. Once again I don't have anything particularly negative to say here, so I'll wrap it up.
The disc includes a modest selection of bonus content, although none of it is likely to set the pulse racing. First up we have an audio commentary by director Will Gluck and star Emma Stone, which is at best sporadically interesting. The big problem is that there are too many periods of dead air, but the track also lacks focus. The participants are likable enough, particularly Stone, but I just didn't enjoy the track as much as I expected. Other features carried over from the DVD version are a gag reel and Emma Stone's audition footage, both of which are fine for what they are, even if they don't cry out for repeat viewings. The Blu-ray exclusive stuff helps bolster the ranks somewhat, especially the making of, even if it is a little bit on the fluffy side. The 'Vocabulary of Hilarity' featurette discusses the film's dialogue, specifically the sweary nature of said dialogue, while the 'School of Pop Culture: Movies of the Eighties' piece touches on the importance of seminal eighties teen classics like The Breakfast Club as they relate to the script and characters of Easy A. Things are rounded off by a pop-up trivia track and a selection of trailers for Blu-ray, Burlesque, Grown Ups, The Other Guys, The Green Hornet and The Social Network. Oh, there's also a BD-Live option.
Although not as accomplished as the classic eighties movies it attempts to emulate, Easy A is a great little teen comedy featuring another fantastic performance from a young actress whose star is on the rise. I'm happy to report that the Blu-ray release improves upon the DVD in every key area, particularly the extras, which look a lot healthier than they do on the standard-definition disc. Although importing the US release wouldn't have been impossible due to its 'region free' status, it should be much easier to get your hands on the feature now that Sony has decided to release it over here. I would definitely recommend that you take a look if you're a fan of Emma Stone's previous work, or indeed if you're in the mood for an intelligent 'R' rated comedy in this world of dumbed-down 'PG-13' movies.

McIntyre, Jones find many faults in late-night agreement
Two area congressmen � U.S. Reps. Mike McIntyre and Walter Jones � voted against the fiscal cliff compromise that passed the U.S. House Tuesday night.
McIntyre, a Lumberton Democrat, was one of 16 House Democrats to vote against the deal. He said he voted that way because it adds nearly $4 trillion to the nation�s debt, delays spending cuts and doesn�t provide for �comprehensive tax reform that can help our small businesses create jobs.�
�The financial markets, small business and the American people are looking for stability and accountability, not a temporary fix,� McIntyre said in a prepared statement. �A comprehensive solution is needed that includes getting our national debt under control and reining in government spending.�
Jones, a Farmville Republican, also said an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office shows the bill will raise the debt by nearly $4 trillion and includes more than $40 in tax increases for every $1 in spending cuts.
He pointed out the deal comes while America�s federal debt is at nearly $17 trillion.
�A country that continues to borrow money to pay bills eventually will collapse,� he said in a phone interview Wednesday.
Jones also cited an ABC News report that various industries � including Hollywood production companies, railroads, NASCAR, electric motorcycle makers and others � would benefit from tax perks included in the legislation. Hollywood, for example, would get $430 million through �special expensing rules to encourage TV and film production in the United States,� according the ABC article.
�Why add any of that when your country is in so much trouble?� he asked.
Jones had said he would be willing to make many more cuts, including eliminating foreign aid, shuttering the U.S. Department of Education, repealing Obamacare and stopping the war in Afghanistan.
Jones also blasted the way the deal was negotiated.
�The way this deal went down reinforces what America hates about the way Washington is being run,� he said. �Backroom deals done in the middle of the night at the zero hour are never good for the American people. This will be no exception.�
Jones said he preferred including more spending cuts in the deal, including cuts Obama has suggested during the past two or three years. But, he said, the House leadership feared adding those cuts would kill the deal.
Jones and McIntyre each represent part of Southeastern North Carolina in the House.

Rural Health Clinic in Unionville Home to Telehealth Site
Putnam County Memorial Hospital among sites to receive remote care through University of Missouri health project.
The Missouri Telehealth Network will create or expand 30 additional sites across the state to provide medical care to rural patients who might otherwise not receive treatment. A new federal grant will support the network's efforts to create 11 new sites and expand services at 19 existing sites by this summer.
The Missouri Telehealth Network uses telecommunications technology to connect highly specialized physicians with rural patients. The expansion is funded by a $220,459 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Services Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program, as well as contributions from the University of Missouri, Health Literacy Missouri and telehealth sites receiving new and updated technology.
"Thousands of patients in rural areas will have better access to specialty care providers without leaving their communities," said Rachel Mutrux, director of the Missouri Telehealth Network. "This expansion of telehealth services delivers health care to patients who might otherwise go untreated."

General Education
The curriculum for the BASW major is based on a liberal arts foundation obtained through approved courses in the university general education program. This liberal arts foundation provides students the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in critical thinking about social problems and understanding the social structures of American society.
All students must complete a minimum of 51 units of approved GE courses in letter
grades. If a requirement is waived without unit credit, additional approved GE courses
must be taken to complete the total required. Most students in the social work major
are transfer students from California Community Colleges and have completed comparable
Core General Education courses which may be acceptable to San José State University.
Please contact Academic Services for information about Core General Education course
The SJSU Studies (formerly known as Advanced General Education) coursework must be taken in residence at San José State University, and students must pass the Writing Skills Test (WST) before they are permitted to enroll in the SJSU Studies courses.

This is an online flash series about people with "special powers" and I think it's pretty awesome considering I get to play a character in it. Her name is Alana Williams and her powers are pretty sweet as you'll first get to see in episode #12. It hasn't been dubbed with voices yet but episodes #1-9 are and more will be added later on.

Casket bearers included Jeremy Verbout, Shaun Verbout, Ryan Smith, Garrett Magner, Jeff Partridge, Joshua Smith and Kyle Verbout. Interment was held at Saint Clement Catholic Cemetery in Grygla.
Robert Hippolet Verbout was born on May 3, 1926 in Argyle, the son of Hippolet and Hazel (Hill) Verbout. At an early age, Robert's family moved to the Fourtown area. He was baptized in Argyle and confirmed at St. Clement Catholic Church in Grygla. Robert attended the Spruce Grove School near Fourtown through the eighth grade and started farming at the early age of 16.
On June 2, 1952, Robert was united in marriage to Mary Ann Polansky at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Middle River. They made their home on a farm east of Grygla, where they farmed, milked cows and raised their eleven children, Dennis, Sharon, Barbara, Shirley, Susan, Ardell, Lenay, Gerald, John, Roxane, and Dawn. Over the years, Robert also worked planting trees for the Soil Conservation; worked for the Marshall County Highway Department; managed the grocery store in Goodridge; and worked at the Grygla High School.
Robert enjoyed deer hunting with his brothers, sons, and grandchildren; making silly games for the grandchildren and playing jokes on them. Robert took special care to provide for his family and always enjoyed making money for a rainy day.
Robert was a member of St. Clement Catholic Church in Grygla, and served on the church council for many years.
Survivors include his loving wife of 60 years, Mary Ann of Thief River Falls; children, Dennis (Sherry) Verbout of Grygla, Sharon (Steve) Hook of Thief River Falls, Barbara (Robert) Partridge of St. Michael, Shirley (Danny) Magner of Newfolden, Susan (William) Smith of Badger, Ardell (Jay) Smith of Badger, Lenay (Kurt) Hermanson of Thief River Falls, Gerald (Janelle) Verbout of Wannaska, John Verbout of Grygla, Roxane (Barry) Kirkeide of Greenbush, and Dawn (Ward) Wilson of Greenbush; 29 grandchildren, Jeremy Verbout, Shaun Verbout, Melissa Verbout Gould, Kim Hook Fritz, Katy Hook Voecks, Anne Hook, Heather Partridge Lemieux, Jeff Partridge, Jackie Magner Gonsorowski, Garrett Magner, Ryan Smith, Tracy Smith, Joshua Smith, Jason Smith, Tiffany Hermanson Eidelbes, Philip Hermanson, Bethany Hermanson Larson, Kyle, Tyler, Ashley, and Alex Verbout, Matthew, Alisha, and Megan Verbout, Kayla, Courtney and Cody Kirkeide, Chantel and Nicholas Wilson; 29 great-randchildren, Erika, Troy and Samantha Verbout, Reise, Reid and Brynn Verbout, Alexis, William and Sawyer Gould, Lily and Lexi Lemieux, Peyton Partridge, Gannon and Easton Gonsorowski, Grady and Jace Magner, Jaden and Carissa Smith; Jorah Smith, Dylan Walker, Hailee, Ethan, Aiden and Braxton Eidelbes, Keigan, Tayla and Bentley Hermanson, Rylie and Allie Larson; brothers and sisters, Eileen Miller of Moorhead, Grace (Ralph) Rundell of Grygla, Betty (Bob) Willet of Moorhead, Melvin (Irene) Verbout of Fargo, N.D., Delores (Conrad) Gracier of Colorado, Wayne (Marie Ann) Verbout of Grygla; sisters-in-law, Angeline Verbout and Phyllis Verbout; and many other relatives and friends.

My husband Jordan and I are the fifth generation to live on the family farm. His great, great grandfather settled the homestead a century ago. Over the years, many of the old buildings have fallen into disrepair and, instead of tearing them down, we've decided to fix many of them up. With help from family and friends, we've begun the process of restoring the old buildings, one by one. Most recently, we have set our sights on cleaning out the old granary, fixing the walls and putting steel on the roof. We plan to repurpose the building for raising calves and, upstairs, for storing hay (or maybe as a fort for when our daughter is older).
We spent a couple afternoons upstairs in the granary clearing out corn and oats that had been stored for decades. Thankfully the shoots in the granary floor made cleaning pretty simple; we pushed the grain down the holes the same way his forefathers would have done. Once the floor was swept clean, Jordan and I stood and admired the room. It was as if time stood still. The wood planks that were hidden under all that grain were in pristine condition and the original purpose of the granary became even more evident. As the afternoon sun spilled in from a small window, we discovered a hidden treasure.
On the wood-planked walls were notes written by his grandfather Melvin and Melvin's brother over 70 years ago. The words from the past were penciled in script. One message read, "Shoveling succotash, June 20, 1935, 13 yrs. old, MJH." Another said, "Putting siding up on north wall, August 1, 1942." His brother wrote, "Shoveling succotash, rainy, cold year, grain looks good. June 21, 1935. ROH." As we stood in the empty room of the granary reading the messages written so long ago, Jordan experienced a moment of nostalgia. We could almost picture his grandpa as a 13-year-old boy, shoveling grain alongside his brother. We reflected on the hard work, struggle and daily toil they went through to operate the farm.
We will never know what Melvin was thinking as he scribbled on the wall. Was he thinking of future generations who may read his message? Or was he simply passing the time as he waited for the next load of grain? Whatever the reason, we consider the handwriting on the wall a unique treasure: a memory of the way farm life used to be and a reflection of Jordan's heritage. Although cleaning and restoring the old buildings on our farm is the more difficult route, discoveries like these make us proud we are finding ways to use the century-old buildings. When we were finished working on the upstairs, Jordan left a message on the wall. "March 2012, mild winter, fixing up the granary. JDH."

Here is how the 49ers (7-2-1) graded in their 32-7 win Monday night over the visiting Chicago Bears (7-3):
Pass offense: Colin Kaepernick dazzled in his first start while a concussion kept Alex Smith sidelined. Kaepernick's 243 yards matched Jeff Garcia's 49ers record for most in a starting debut. The linemen provided ample time to throw, especially on a touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree. Vernon Davis returned to play-making form and Kyle Williams' 57-yard catch sparked things. Grade: A
Run offense: Frank Gore found stunning room to roam, even between the hashmarks against linebackers Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs. The "WildKap" formation rarely was used but a read-option draw to Kendall Hunter produced a touchdown. Grade: A
Pass defense: Aldon Smith's best career game featured 5 1/2 sacks, propelling him into the league lead with 15. Justin Smith also pressured the pocket and helped stop rusher Mart Forte. Tarell Brown and Dashon Goldson secured the rout with interceptions. Brandon Marshall's touchdown catch vs. Chris Culliver was a minor blip. Grade: A
Run defense: The Bears tried and tried to run early, only to be denied by an inspired defensive front. Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman may have played their best this season. Isaac Sopoaga rebounded well at nose tackle. Grade: A
Special teams: David Akers went 3-for-3 on field goals and again excelled on kickoffs. The coverage units dominated Devin Hester, and they did so while opposing last season's mainstay, Blake Costanzo. Grade: A
Coaching: What an amazingly scripted and orchestrated game plan to cap a week in which Alex Smith's status was in flux, not to mention Jim Harbaugh's treatment for an irregular heartbeat. Harbaugh kept alive talk of a quarterback quandary afterward, to the delight of the controversy-craved media. Grade: A

Invite from the Health Sciences Team
By Nicole L. Garneau, PhDCongrats to Bruce Randolph School of Near Northeast Denver for winning the [email protected] competition sponsored by LiveWell Colorado!
Everyone knows the recipe for healthy eating… lean meat, whole grains and lots of fresh fruits and veggies… but dang! It's not so easy and those hot Cheetos are so good! The companies that make packaged foods, like hot Cheetos, have some seriously smart chefs and taste scientists figuring out exactly what we will want to eat and what will keep us eating. So I was pretty impressed to see a local program that is working to change the equation and put us, real people, in the driver's seat. [email protected] by LiveWell Colorado sponsored a competition for local high school students to be both the chefs and the taste experts in the creation of healthy lunch we would all want to dig into.
"Led by volunteer chef mentors (senior-level culinary students from Johnson & Wales University), each group of students was schooled in a variety of culinary topics, including the intricacies of taste, food safety and knife skills, while also learning about developing a nutritious meal plan, managing a cooking budget and healthy food sourcing, " LiveWell's website describes.
The winning group is made up of five bright and creative seniors from Bruce Randolph School; Jen, Maria #1, Ivan, Janeth, and Maria #2 (aka Chicken). The team was supervised through the YMCA Community Programs director Jen Martin, and was mentored by Johnson & Wales students Angel and Rebecca who volunteered their time for the length of the nine week program. The team's award-winning creation was a BBQ chicken panini wrap with colorful coleslaw and jalapeno infused peach crumble for dessert (recipes are below!). It was designed to pay homage to comfort foods, but included novel twists that added just the right amount of sophistication of taste and quality. I can say first hand that it was a delicious lunch, especially considering the requirements it fulfilled and the limitations placed on the students in creating the meal. First, it met the USDA requirements for nutrition. Second, it was limited to a specific list of ingredients available to Denver Public Schools and had to include at least one ingredient that is grown, baked or produced in Colorado. Finally, it had to cost less than one dollar per serving to make. And despite all these restrictions, the Bruce Randolph team nailed it.
Their menu was featured at the December 13, 2012 [email protected] luncheon where it wowed the audience and inspired me to connect with the students to find out more about their experience.
Team leaders and returning team members, Jen and Janeth, described the first meeting where the students were introduced to the five tastes but doing an extensive series of taste tests, "It was really surprising, how we were all different." Over the course of the program, the team brainstormed, learned the technical side of meal planning and preparation, the science of food and ultimately experimented to develop the tastes within the meals they knew people would like. The result of all this work was a healthy and actually really tasty meal that we can all make at home and that Denver Public Schools will feature in every school cafeteria on May 8, 2013.
The impact of the program goes well beyond the recipe creation though. Community Programs director Jen Martin explained, "My hope would be that students feel less afraid of food and cooking… that they see it's not so scary. The students' progress from week 1 to week 9 showed that cooking became a natural process for the students." The students agreed and expanded on this thought. Ivan talked about changes at home explaining, "My mom buys more vegetables than she did before." And Maria was quick to explain that she did not think she would like the program, "I don't like cooking… but this was a fun experience and I ended up learning a lot." Finally, for at least one student, Jen, it has changed the course of her life. "It made me think about what I want to do, and now I know I want to do culinary arts. It helped me in a way to go to college and to know what to expect."
In honor of [email protected] and Jen, Maria, Maria, Ivan and Janeth at Bruce Randolph, I hope that you'll help us celebrate the launch of this meal on May 8, 2013 when schools across the Denver Public School District will be featuring this meal for lunch. We also invite you to join us at Denver Museum of Nature & Science where we will be featuring it as our special of the day to show our support of healthy eating and [email protected]. And if you have a question about nutrition and healthy recipes, submit them to [email protected]. The students have signed on to be the Museum's guest experts on these topics for the remainder of the school year; you can read their responses to questions that come in right here on our blog.

The Department offers three doctoral program concentrations:
Each of the concentrations has specific course requirements. Within that framework, each student's course of study is designed to accommodate his or her individual background, experiences and objectives. Although each concentration has a unique structure, students are encouraged to interact with faculty and students from all three areas on a regular basis. Student development is assessed in terms of competence in theory, practice and research skills essential to the advancement of knowledge in his or her chosen area. The Departmental course offerings for graduate students are structured as small seminar courses, usually five to ten students, providing in-depth study and close faculty contact.
Each doctoral student is assigned a faculty adviser upon entering the program. The adviser helps the student plan out his or her course of study. In addition, the adviser provides specific advice about faculty, courses and research. Often the faculty adviser becomes the student's dissertation supervisor once he or she has advanced to candidacy.
The primary areas of specialization offered in this IROM doctoral program are IS, RADM and SCOM, but students may take courses and select doctoral committee members from a broad interdisciplinary spectrum as well. Recent IROM graduates have developed programs of study that tie into such non-business disciplines as computer science, mathematics, psychology, communications, and engineering. Major topics in the IS area include virtual work arrangements, electronic commerce, the business value of information technology, and strategic information systems. Major topics in the RADM area include decision analysis, quantitative finance, and risk management. Research areas in decision analysis include both normative and descriptive work on decision making under risk and with conflicting objectives. Quantitative finance includes research related to financial engineering, real options, and numerical methods for solving financial models. Risk management is concerned with insurance and other approaches to managing financial, international, and corporate risks.
