From the Province:
The Brampton Battalion started the season 2-6-0 then rattled off 11 straight wins, right around the time that Hodgson returned to the team... Hodgson scored the GWG in 3 of the last 4 games...HODGSON RECOGNIZED
Canucks' first-round draft pick Cody Hodgson was named the Ontario Hockey League's player of the week on Monday.
Hodgson, taken No. 10 overall in last June's NHL entry draft, scored five goals and earned four assists for nine points in three games during the week as the Brampton Battalion extended its winning streak to 11 games.
Hodgson, the Battalion's captain, tied a club record with four goals and added an assist in an 8-4 victory Thursday night against the visiting Plymouth Whalers.
Hodgson has a team-leading 12 goals and 10 assists for 22 points in 12 games since being returned to junior by the Canucks on Oct. 8.
... And yet, he's an even 0 on the +/-...

To provide Ohio workers with crucial training in computer modeling and simulation, the Ralph Regula School of Computational Science (RRSCS) is developing a new training and certification program. This project represents an important workforce component for the Ralph Regula School, a statewide virtual school focused on the use of computer modeling and simulation to solve complex business, technical and academic research problems.
The National Science Foundation-funded grant* also will supply Ohio businesses with advanced Internet portals — easy-to-use web-based interfaces that allow users to run complex scientific codes — including a portal being developed for Ohio's polymer industries.
"Computational science and the use of modeling and simulation have been cited by prominent state and federal committees and panels as keys to continued competitiveness in science and engineering," said Steven Gordon, Ph.D., director of RRSCS. "We intend to create more advanced, industry-driven computational science certificate programs to serve major groups of industry collaborators."
The certificate courses will link to a computational science concentration area within an emerging professional master's degree program at The Ohio State University's College of Engineering.
"The courses and certifications will be invaluable in preparing the workforce in our industry to move quickly and surely into the computer age," said Wayne Earley, executive director of PolymerOhio, an association serving Ohio's plastics, rubber and advanced materials industry.
The workforce program complements a robust educational pipeline at RRSCS that begins with the Young Women's Summer Institute (YWSI), a summer program for middle-school girls. YWSI was created by the Ohio Supercomputer Center to facilitate their interest in math, science and engineering and women's low participation trends in STEM career fields.
Summer Institute is an OSC summer program in its 20th year that offers gifted high school freshmen and sophomores project-based, hands-on learning. Participants use advanced technologies to solve complex problems and learn about careers in computing, networking, science and engineering.
The STEM Summer Academy in Computational Science and Engineering, funded through the Ohio Board of Regents, teaches computer modeling and simulation skills to high school juniors and seniors, as well as high school teachers. Participants receive college credit as they learn how physical phenomena are represented in mathematical models and translated into computer simulations.
RRSCS, the Ohio Board of Regents and Project Lead The Way are developing a computational science elective to add to the four-year curriculum that introduces high school students to the scope, rigor and discipline of engineering and engineering technology prior to entering college.
RRSCS and three Ohio community colleges are developing an associate degree program in science with a computational science emphasis under another NSF grant**. The goal is to develop programs that constitute the middle two years of an articulation from the high schools to the community colleges and fouryear colleges and universities.
Last year, RRSCS launched a baccalaureate minor program in computational science in partnership with nine Ohio charter colleges and universities. Two other colleges have since joined the program. The virtual nature of this NSF-funded program*** allows students at participating institutions to combine classes from their home campus with online classes from any other participating institution.
This complete pipeline of educational offerings comprises a unique middle school-to-graduate schoolto- workforce training continuum in computer modeling and simulation education in Ohio.

Interest is keen in new rice varieties being released for seed production this year by the LSU AgCenter's Rice Research Station. "It looks like we'll sell out of the new varieties," said Larry White, director of the station's Foundation Seed Program.
Orders for the new long-grain variety Trenasse have exceeded the supply of 1,000 hundredweight, White said. "I am sold out of the Trenasse. I probably could have sold 300 or 400 more hundredweight. I've got orders for a bunch from out of state."
White said orders for Jupiter, a new medium-grain variety, are not as strong, but that's probably because the medium-grain market is overshadowed by long-grain rice in Louisiana.
Trenasse, French for a pathway through the marsh, was previously designated as 2008. It matures five days earlier than Cocodrie, and its yield is similar to Cocodrie — another extremely popular LSU AgCenter variety.
Steve Linscombe, rice breeder and regional director for the LSU AgCenter in southwestern Louisiana, said the earlier maturity gives farmers the option of having fields that mature at different times, instead of all being ready to harvest at once.
Linscombe also said the interval between planting and maturity cannot be reduced much more through breeding without the potential for adverse effects.
"Plants have to have a certain amount of vegetative growth," he said.
Shortening maturity results in a small decrease of a plant's reproductive phase, Linscombe said, but most of the time, reduction involves the vegetative phase.
If a plant with an unusually short maturity encounters a difficulty, such as herbicide injury or severe damage from insect pressure, it will not have enough time to recover, he explained.
Jupiter originates from the medium-grain line originally assigned a number of 2183.
"It's got excellent yield potential compared to Bengal," LSU AgCenter rice breeder Xueyan Sha said.
In three years of testing, it averaged 7,528 pounds per acre, exceeding Bengal, another LSU AgCenter variety, by 700 pounds and Earl by 550 pounds, and milling is comparable to Bengal. It could help Louisiana regain medium-grain acreage lost in the past decade, Sha said.
In addition, Jupiter has a much improved disease package compared to Bengal, with superior resistance to blast and straighthead. Tests also showed Jupiter is not as susceptible to rotten neck blast and has the same leaf blast susceptibility as Bengal, Sha said. It also has better tolerance to panicle blight than Bengal.
Even before its release, Sha had begun working to improve Jupiter. He is collaborating with Herry Utomo, another LSU AgCenter rice researcher, to find the blast resistance gene in long-grain varieties for transfer to Jupiter. Sha said he also wants to increase the yield potential and grain size.
Problems with lodging also are lower for Jupiter, because it is slightly shorter than Bengal and appears to have better straw strength, Sha said.
The two major buyers of medium-grain rice, Kellogg's and Riviana, have evaluated the new medium-grain variety and have expressed interest in it.
Another new variety out for 2005 is CL131, an additional choice for use with the Clearfield system. The seed rice will be available from Horizon Ag.
It is shorter and has better straw strength than CL161, giving it more lodging resistance, Linscombe said. It has a slight yield advantage over CL161 and matures three to four days earlier, but it is susceptible to sheath blight, Linscombe said.
"I think it's going to be a good companion variety to 161," Linscombe said, adding, however, "I don't think it will or should replace 161. It's good to have diversity in the Clearfield lineup."
Development of CL131 from a cross took only four years, the quickest development time for an LSU AgCenter rice variety, Linscombe said. He credited the station's nursery program at LaJas, Puerto Rico, for the rapid turnaround.
"Because of its tropical location, the Puerto Rico nursery allows us to grow rice in the winter," Linscombe said. "It expedites getting varieties out in a timely manner."

This rich but light dessert of orange peel and almonded curds can even be served as an appetizer, depending on the type of curds used.
Place a glass or metal bowl in the refrigerator for 1 hour. After 45 minutes, peel an orange, and chop the rind by hand or in a blender at a high speed. Or, if preferred, use Leave it to the Lebanese to create one of prepared candied orange peel (available from most Middle Eastern grocers). In a blender or food processor, whir the orange peel, curds, and vanilla until you have a smooth, creamy texture, like that of heavy whipped cream. Add the sugar and mix again. Pour the mixture into the prepared cold bowl and fold in the currants and all but a handful of the almonds. Stir well and refrigerate, or serve immediately in individual dishes, garnishing each with a few almonds to top off the presentation.
Yield: 6 servings
14 From the time King Artaxerxes appointed me as their governor in the land of Judah—from the twentieth to the thirty-second year of his reign, twelve years— neither I nor my brothers used the governor's food allowance.
15 Governors who had preceded me had oppressed the people by taxing them forty shekels of silver (about a pound) a day for food and wine while their underlings bullied the people unmercifully. But out of my love for God I did none of that.
16 I had work to do; I worked on this wall. All my men were on the job to do the work. We didn't have time to line our own pockets.
17 I fed one hundred and fifty Jews and officials at my table in addition to those who showed up from the surrounding nations.
18 One ox, six choice sheep, and some chickens were prepared for me daily, and every ten days a large supply of wine was delivered. Even so, I didn't use the food allowance provided for the governor—the people had it hard enough as it was.
19 Remember in my favor, O my God, Everything I've done for these people.
"One ox, six choice sheep, and some chickens were prepared for me daily."
Nehemiah 5:14–19, adapted from The Message
One of the major figures of the postexilic period of the ancient history of the Jewish people, Nehemiah made a name for himself as the rebuilder of the wall surrounding the city of Jerusalem. When we first encounter Nehemiah in the book that bears his name, he is an officer in the court of Artaxerxes when he learns that the Jews of his homeland are suffering under a great oppression and that the city wall and the entrance gates of his beloved Jerusalem have been almost totally destroyed. Nehemiah commences a period of mourning and fasting that does not go unnoticed by the king, who later gives Nehemiah a royal commission with all the proper credentials to journey to Jerusalem so that he might bring his people whatever help they needed. With a royal decree in his pocket allowing him to requisition the materials necessary to restore the wall, the fortress, and the Temple at Jerusalem, he accomplishes the task in a relatively short time despite the efforts of many others to halt his work. In his role as governor, Nehemiah also institutes needed social reforms, particularly with respect to the oppression of the poor by the rich. It is his actions on behalf of the less fortunate that frame the biblical passage pertinent to the seemingly extravagant meal described in verses 17–18 above.
Nehemiah invited the local leaders and visiting emissaries (with their retinues) from surrounding countries to his table for dinner as a gesture of goodwill and hospitality in an effort to demonstrate what he believed were the qualities of leadership that others should follow. As governor, he had the right to use public funds garnered from extra taxes levied on the common folk so that he might entertain the dignitaries at his table. Instead, he used his own financial resources, and as part of his effort at social reform, set the example so that other officials might follow his lead. In this instance, Nehemiah was carrying out a common biblical and theological understanding of what God required: to provide hospitality, not only to one's own circle of family and friends, but to others as well, including the stranger; to invite the rich and the poor to sit down at the table; to provide a meal from one's own bounty; to prepare an ample feast; and to present it as a thanksgiving for all that God has provided. Nehemiah was viewed as a righteous man and a faithful servant of God through these actions, and his good deeds are set forth in the Hebrew scriptures as the prototype for everyone to emulate.
The Hebrew text indicates that a large portion of meat, poultry, and wine— enough for as many as five hundred people, perhaps—was set aside daily for Nehemiah in his role as governor; if he used the provisions at all, it was not to entertain his friends and guests. Instead he prepared elaborate dinners from the funds of his own pocket, which resulted in meals much better than the diners at his table were expecting. The proportions set out in this chapter were customary for a man of his position (compare Solomon's food list in I Kings 4:22ff.). For example, in the 19th century c.e., the bey (a ruler of comparable power to the position Nehemiah held) of Tunis was known to receive as his daily entitlement twelve sheep, along with fish, fowls, soups, oranges, eggs, onions, boiled rice, and other goods. When the bey dined, his nobles dined with him; after they were finished, the servants sat down; and when they were finished, the poor took what was left over. By looking at both examples, we can begin to piece together a fuller picture of what it was like to eat a meal at the gubernatorial palace.
The chickens that are mentioned in verse 17 might be a flight of imagination (excuse the pun); though the breeding of chickens was widespread in Israel at the beginning of the Christian era, the poultry or fowl that Nehemiah served to his guests might just as well have been quail (which were well known and considered a fine meal), or perhaps partridge, dove, or sparrow, all of which were apparently in abundance in Israel and the surrounding area. We'll hedge our bets and provide a recipe for both chicken and quail, and leave the more enterprising cook to find the best ways to prepare partridges and doves, should one's palate have a hankering for smaller fowl (we've deemed sparrows to be off limits).
But what of the wine? The Hebrew word used here is yayin, a nondescriptive, generalized term for any type of red wine. It was apparently laid in stock by the servants every ten days or so, according to need but within the parameters of entitlement. At dinner it was served in abundance.
When cooking this meal, one has to use a bit of common sense and a lot of ingenuity. There are not many kitchens these days that feature the cooking of oxen. "Oxtails" are enjoying somewhat of a revival among top chefs and are a tasty menu item; yet unlike the days of old when there was truth in advertising, and oxtails were just that—the tails of oxen—today they are simply the tails of beef cattle of both genders. In some parts of the world (Norway, Madagascar) recipes using real oxen are still popular fare; but most of us are going to have to settle for what the butcher in our area can provide. Even at that, there is only one tail per animal available to the butcher, so you might have to put in a special order ahead of time if oxtails are on your menu. But if one can find ox meat for any of the recipes that follow, all the better for the cook and the lucky diner who has been invited for supper.
Nehemiah, royal cupbearer to the Persian king, was born to the tribe of Judah and may have been a native of Jerusalem. At that time (5th century b.c.e.), Judah was a province of the Persian Empire. The history of how this came to pass is complicated. As related in Chapter 11, the united kingdom of Israel had split into two states, Israel in the north and Judah in the south, in the 10th century b.c.e. Both kingdoms were able to maintain their autonomy, despite the conflicts they had with each other, because their neighbors were relatively weak. But in the 8th century b.c.e. the Assyrians conquered Israel and deported many Israelites into captivity. At the beginning of the 6th century b.c.e. the Babylonians, having destroyed the Assyrian empire, took control of Judah. The Babylonians razed the Temple at Jerusalem and carried away the Ark of the Covenant (which disappears from history at this time), essentially severing the living connection between the Jews and God. Nebuchadnezzar II, the Babylonian king, ordered the deportation of most of Judah's people to Babylon. This period of exile, when the Jews were enslaved in Assyria or Babylon or were forced to flee to Egypt or other lands, is known as the First Diaspora, or Dispersion. In the mid-6th century b.c.e. the Persian Empire, under King Cyrus the Great, conquered Babylonia and most of western Asia, including all of Israel. Cyrus permitted a number of Jews to return to Jerusalem, and under the leadership of Sheshbazzar, they began to build the Second Temple.
When Artaxerxes I became king of Persia in the 5th century b.c.e., he granted Nehemiah's request to return to Jerusalem in order to help in the rebuilding of the city. Beginning in 446 b.c.e., Nehemiah governed Jerusalem for about thirteen years, restoring the traditional religious observances and continuing the reforms begun by Ezra, his predecessor. When Nehemiah returned to Persia, however, Jerusalem quickly fell back into corruption and idolatry. At this point the prophet Malachi began to exhort the Jews to return to the Law, and Nehemiah rushed back to Jerusalem after an absence of only two years, shocked at the quick decline in the moral state of his people and determined to bring them back to God. He was able to maintain public order and worship and remained in his post as governor until his death in about 413 b.c.e. Afterward, Judah became a part of Syria, under the administration of the high priest.

Test Report: Panasonic TC-L42d2 LCD HDTV
What is this heathen? This infidel? This sacrilegious interloper? After years of espousing that plasma was the way to go for big-screen TVs, Panasonic comes out with this, the TC-L42D2, a 42-inch LCD set. Such blasphemy. Oh, wait, it turns out the company has always made LCD TVs. My bad. But in this size? Bowing to market pressure, the company has upsized its LCD line, which now overlaps with what had solely been plasma territory in Panasonicville.
At first glance, you wouldn't be able to tell that Panasonic hasn't been making LCDs this size for ages. It's got all the latest bells and whistles one would expect in a late-model LCD. There's LED edge lighting (top and bottom, to be specific), and it refreshes at 120 Hz. It's Energy Star-qualified, and it even comes with an iPod dock.
The biggest difference between the TC-L42D2 and most other LCDs is IPS, or In-Plane Switching, a different design of the liquid crystal that makes the image in an LCD TV. First developed by Hitachi in the 1990s, IPS in larger screen sizes has been brought to market pretty much only by Hitachi, LG, and Panasonic. The difference between IPS and the more common TN (Twisted Nematic) and PVA (Patterned Vertical Alignment) designs is in how the crystals move. Think of each crystal as a cigar. With the other technologies, the cigars are vertical in one mode, then lie flat perpendicular to the screen in the other. When a pixel in an IPS panel is required to be on (lit up) or off (black), however, the crystals may be vertical or horizontal but are always in line with the plane of the screen. Like hands on a clock. But with cigars.
Historically, IPS's biggest advantage over the other LCD technologies has been its viewing angle. Unlike with most LCDs, you can view an IPS panel from an off-center seat without a significant reduction in contrast or color accuracy. In this way, its performance is more like plasma. The main drawbacks to IPS have been poor con- trast ratio and motion blur due to slower response times. Has Panasonic minimized these cons while keeping the pros? Is the TC-L42D2 worth the premium over a 42-inch Panasonic plasma ($200, or 15% as of this writing)? We shall see.

By Stephanie Grace
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who chided federal officials for their slow response after Hurricane Katrina inundated the city, pleaded not guilty in federal court on Wednesday to charges that he took kickbacks in exchange for city contracts.
It was Nagin's first appearance in court - and his first public appearance in the city he led for eight years - since a federal grand jury handed down a 21-count public corruption indictment in January.
The charges include bribery, wire fraud, filing false tax returns, conspiracy and money laundering. Nagin, who now lives Texas, pleaded not guilty to all charges before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sally Shushan.
Shushan set Nagin's bond at $100,000, ordered him to surrender his passport, and limited his unrestricted travel to Louisiana and Texas. He can visit other states only with the court's prior approval.
Shushan set a trial date of April 29, although major public corruption cases generally take far longer to reach that stage. A pretrial conference was set for April 16. The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan.
The former mayor, who had been known for his chattiness, said little to the judge or a sizable media contingent.
"No, man, I can't make any comments," he said as he entered the courthouse, accompanied by his attorney Robert Jenkins.
Nagin was a little-known businessman when he burst into public life in 2002, wooing voters with promises to think outside the box and rid City Hall of patronage. In 2005, after Katrina struck and several levees crumbled, his desperate plea for federal officials to "get off your asses" and help was heard worldwide.
Re-elected to a second term in 2006, Nagin was widely faulted for overseeing a halting recovery. The indictment focuses on questionable activity from this period, although some of the activities described purportedly occurred before the catastrophic storm.
Nagin is accused of taking gifts and more than $200,000 in cash from three city contractors, and using his official position to land a granite installation deal with Home Depot for a company he formed with his two sons, Jeremy and Jarin. He is also accused of accepting several truckloads of free granite from one of the corrupt contractors.
Two of the contractors, Frank Fradella and Rodney Williams, have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with prosecutors. The third, Mark St. Pierre, was convicted in a 2011 trial with the help of former Nagin technology chief Greg Meffert, who had pleaded guilty to accepting kickbacks from St. Pierre.
Nagin is also accused of trading a tax waiver for a luxurious trip to New York with a New Orleans theater owner, identified in the indictment only as "Businessman A."
The indictment also lists "Family Member 1" and "Family Member 2" as alleged co-conspirators. The relatives are presumably Jeremy and Jarin Nagin, who appeared last fall before a grand jury and provided documents in response to a subpoena, according to their attorney.
New Orleans has a history rich with political intrigue, but Nagin is the first mayor to face criminal charges.

Summit Up 9-29-12: Where the Weekender sleeps
September 28, 2012
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is extremely happy to bid nappy-naptime to the Explore Summit Weekender – that fabulous, colorful new weekly magazine in the green boxes around town. The Weekender is tired, so she will hibernate briefly, to awaken once more on Nov. 16, at which time she will proceed to herald winter and all of his glory, and share her growing knowledge on all the wonderful things that Summit County and its friendly neighbors have to offer.
Sadly, we in the newsroom will not have time to attend any of the fabulous winter goings-on touted therein upon said Weekender's joyous return from the Underworld. We should have known better when we ate those kernels of pomegranate destining us to this seasonal enslavement.
We'd like to take a moment to give a big shout out to all of you from us in the news office where "the first draft of history" is written. Please be so kind as to accept our apologies for any and all mistakes, past present and future, both miniscule and egregious, that we may have or may accidentally perpetrate sometime in future time ad infinitum. We do try really, really, really hard, while life and work move in fast forward – but we are but one seven-headed person, each of whose heads has many things going on inside it at any given time.
As we put Weekender to bed, we will take a long and much deserved nap alongside her. Please do not send us any more vitriolic demands to write multiple stories about [insert event] because [insert self-important tirade], as we cannot read angry emails when we are sleeping. Because of our superhuman multi-tasking abilities, however, we ARE capable of reading nice emails in our sleep. Go ahead and send those if you want to. We out.

The swayback bridge rehabilitation project is going to happen in 2013....
The swayback bridge rehabilitation project is going to happen in 2013.
After being closed to vehicle traffic since it was discovered there was significant damage to the bridge deck, the Redwood County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the low bid for the project at its meeting Tuesday.
The bid is for bridge deck replacement and substructure repair. According to the bid opening record, the project has a start date of July 18, with an end date of Sept. 27.
According to Willy Raben-berg, Redwood County highway department engineer, the project is complicated because of the historic nature of the bridge, and he said as a result of that the project was hard to estimate. The engineer's estimate for the project was $526,015, and the low bid accepted by the county board was $666,161 from Robert E. Schroeder Construction of Glenwood. Rabenberg said this is the same construction company which did the Minnesota River bridge work in 2013.
There was only one other bid submitted for the project.

SAN DIEGO (AP) Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning to give the San Francisco Giants a 5-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
Belt, in his second game back from the disabled list, homered off Dale Thayer (3-3) after Hunter Pence led off with a double. Belt, who missed 50 games with a broken thumb, hit his 10th homer of the season into the right-field stands.
Michael Morse homered leading off the ninth inning against Padres closer Huston Street to tie it 3-3. That broke a streak of 23 consecutive saves for Street, the longest run in the majors.
Sergio Romo (4-3), recently demoted from the closer role, earned the win. Santiago Casilla got the final three outs for his second save in five chances.
San Francisco won for just the sixth time in 24 games and snapped San Diego's season-high, five-game winning streak. The Giants, who had been shut out in three of their previous five games, scored more than two runs for the third time in 11 games.
After Joe Panik's sacrifice fly put San Francisco ahead 2-1 in the seventh, the Padres scored two runs in the bottom of the inning.
Yasmani Grandal doubled with one out off Jean Machi and scored the tying run on Jake Goebbert's triple into the right-center field gap. Cameron Maybin followed with a sacrifice fly that easily scored Goebbert.
San Francisco's Tim Hudson made his second strong start to break a three-start losing streak. Hudson gave up one run on three hits over six innings and avoided matching his career high for losses in consecutive starts. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter.
The Padres tied it in the sixth on Seth Smith's sacrifice fly with one out after consecutive singles by Brooks Conrad and Alexi Amarista to open the inning.
Gregor Blanco hit his first homer of the season to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the second.
Cuban defector Odrisamer Despaigne made his third career start for San Diego since being called up from the minors last month. The 27-year-old right-hander, who beat the Giants in his major league debut on June 23, wasn't as sharp this time.
He overcame four walks and allowed one run and two hits over six innings, his shortest outing. In three starts since coming up from the minors, Despaigne has an ERA of 1.41.
San Francisco third baseman Pablo Sandoval left the game in the first inning with a bruised left elbow after he swung and missed a pitch that hit him.
NOTES: Street had converted 48 of 49 save chances dating to May 2013. ... San Diego was the only team that hadn't blown a lead after seven innings this season, going 29-0. ... Pence extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an infield single to open the game. ... Giants RHP Tim Lincecum (7-5, 4.06 ERA) will face Padres RHP Jesse Hahn (4-1, 1.95) in Sunday's series finale.

A genuinely inspiring movie (in a year that could use one), this historical dramedy is about the intersection of two left-wing movements in the U.K. in the early 1980s: labor activists and gay pride groups, who marched together against the policies of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Initially wary of each other — and of muddying up their respective messages — they found common ground once they realized their homeland was becoming increasingly hostile both to workers and "deviants." Populated by great actors including Paddy Considine, Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton and scored with terrific '80s British...

Dartmouth under investigation for response to sexual misconductBy JOHN LAUERMAN
Bloomberg News
July 22. 2013 6:35PM
Dartmouth College and the University of Southern California are under investigation by the Education Department for their responses to campus sexual harassment and misconduct.
The department's Office for Civil Rights is investigating the two colleges for violations of Title IX, the law that forbids gender discrimination at schools, Jim Bradshaw, a spokesman for the office, said in an e-mail.The USC probe stems from a complaint students filed against the Los Angeles-based school in May, Bradshaw said. The office initiated the Dartmouth investigation - a review of the school's compliance with Title IX - on its own, and won't discuss the reason for it, he said in an e-mail.'Compliance review sites are selected based on various sources of information, including information provided by parents, education groups, media, community organizations and the public, complaint information, and, in certain circumstances, on statistical and demographic data,' Bradshaw said.Students at Hanover, N.H.-based Dartmouth filed a complaint in May that said the college has violated the Clery Act, which requires schools to report crimes, including sexual assaults, to the Education Department. The department began its probe of Dartmouth in May, and it relates to sexual harassment grievance procedures, the college's response to sexual harassment claims and the designation and notice of a Title IX coordinator, Bradshaw said.Dartmouth is cooperating with the investigation and working to improve its policies and practices, said Justin Anderson, a college spokesman, in an e-mailed statement. The school has worked to decrease sexual assaults and support victims, he said.'We strive to maintain a process for handling complaints that is fair, supportive and incorporates best practices,' Anderson said. 'Beyond responding to complaints, we have worked intentionally and diligently in recent years to reduce incidents of sexual assault on campus, create a climate of reporting and support those who have come forward to report sexual harassment or sexual assault.'Known for guaranteeing female students equal access to college sports programs since its inception in 1972, Title IX has been more recently cited by women across the country saying that their schools don't properly prevent and investigate sexual assaults and abuse. Students at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania filed a complaint in May, and the Education Department said last week that it began an inquiry.

DeKALB – DeKalb city leaders are leaning toward hiring an external search firm to replace City Manager Mark Biernacki.
Biernacki, who plans to retire June 14, said he will contact at least six firms for information about their services and cost. He estimated the city would have to spend $20,000 to $25,000.
The incoming new members of the City Council – Mayor-elect John Rey, 2nd Ward Alderman Bill Finucane, and 4th Ward Alderman Robert Snow – also said they were open to hiring a search firm.
"A search firm can help construct the appropriate skill sets and prerequisites for appropriate candidates." Rey said.
Regardless of whether the council decides to hire an outside company or rely on city staff, Biernacki said the process likely would take five to six months.
The city has utilized both methods in the past when looking for a city manager. Biernacki was hired in 2004 through an internal search, while Jim Connors was hired in 1997 with the help of an executive search firm.
Alderman Dave Baker of the 6th Ward, who was on the council when council members hired Biernacki, said Monday that he remembered the staff placing advertisements in municipal publications.
"It seemed like it would be someone who is actively seeking a job," Baker said. "I'm intrigued by the idea of an outside [search firm]."
Biernacki said search firm representatives would do whatever the council paid them to do.
The firm can place ads, solicit candidates who might not be looking for a new job, run background checks and check references, as well as prepare candidate profiles.
Relying on city staff would be cheaper, but with only one person in the human resources department, it could be too much for that person, Biernacki said.
Both Rey and Finucane said they were concerned about burdening staff with
a city manager search, as well as potential conflicts of interest if one of the candidates already worked for the city.
Finucane said the city could utilize Northern Illinois University's public
administration program, which produces students with master's degree and doctorates.
"Their contact list is tremendous," Finucane said. "That might be one way we could reach out through people."
Snow said he could support a search firm being used, but a lot of the work could be done by the city internally.
"I don't think it can be done all in-house," Snow said, "but I think a substantial part can be."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia will expand Medicaid as called for by the federal health care overhaul.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said Thursday the plan would extend coverage to an about 91,500 low-income residents.
Tomblin was one of just two Democratic governors who had yet to choose whether to expand Medicaid. He leaves Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear as the party's last holdout.
President Barack Obama is deeply unpopular in West Virginia, and the state's Republican Party attacked Tomblin over his expected decision even before he announced it.
The decision follows a financial analysis that found more than $5 billion in promised federal funds will cover nearly all of the resulting costs over the next decade. But the report also calculates that West Virginia's share during that time will increase by $375 million.

Lester, Sox breeze to 7-0 win over GiantsMatt Kawahara
The Sacramento Bee
August 20. 2013 2:31AM
SAN FRANCISCO _ The 1912 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Giants was a back-and-forth affair that included, of all things, a tie in Game 2 that required the teams to play an eighth game, which the Red Sox won in extra innings.
The two venerable franchises met again Monday night at AT&T Park, with the Red Sox taking the opener of a three-game series 7-0.
Boston leads the American League in wins after Jon Lester came within two outs of a complete game while handing Tim Lincecum his 13th loss.
Lincecum allowed runners in every inning but paid most in a bizarre second in which the Red Sox scored three times. It was still 1-0 following Will Middlebrooks' sacrifice fly, with runners on first and third, one out and Lester batting. But Lincecum appeared to lose his footing on his first pitch to Lester and didn't release the ball, with the balk forcing in a second run.
After Lester bunted, Lincecum got Jacoby Ellsbury into a two-strike count but lost him to catcher's interference when an Ellsbury swing hit Buster Posey's glove. Shane Victorino followed with an RBI single, and Lincecum finished the second trailing 3-0 and having thrown 49 pitches.
The Red Sox came in as the highest-scoring offense in baseball and with its highest OPS against right-handers (.816), and of the 28 hitters Lincecum faced, 14 reached base.
Lester, allowed six singles -- three to Andres Torres, two to Posey -- and has now allowed one run in 17 1/3 career innings at AT&T Park. Brandon Workman got the final two outs in relief.
Boston and San Francisco meet again tonight, Jake Peavy, 1-1, starts for the Red Sox and Ryan Yogelsong, 2-4, for the Giants.

Viewers discover the latest research that says we often incorrectly predict what will bring greater happiness, leading us to look for it in the wrong places. As the study of behavior turns more toward positive emotions, the episode explores the latest research on the activities and qualities that foster them, such as meditation, compassion, forgiveness and altruism. The series features remarkable stories of resilient individuals whom scientists are studying to learn more about us all, including a man who overcame an abusive childhood to become a renowned surgeon and a Vietnam veteran who survived torture, solitary confinement and seven years as a POW, and yet emerged emotionally unscathed. Understanding why some people have the ability to bounce back after disaster strikes, while others do not, sheds light on how all of us can lead happier, more fulfilling lives. The film ends by coming full circle to the understanding that the quality of our relationships - with friends, family and larger community - ultimately defines our happiness. duration 1:56:22 STEREO TVPG (Secondary audio: DVI)

Klein has been in New York visiting the devastated areas - including those where "Occupy Sandy" volunteers are unfolding new models of relief - as part of her reporting for a new book and film on climate change and the future. "Let's rebuild by actually getting at the root causes. Let's respond by aiming for an economy that responds to the crisis both through inequality and climate change," Klein tells Bill. "You know, dream big."
* In the same broadcast, former Federal Election Commission Chairman Trevor Potter - the lawyer who advised Stephen Colbert on setting up a super PAC - dissects the spending on the most expensive election in American history. Many voices are claiming "money didn't matter, Citizens United wasn't a factor," but Potter disagrees. "Super PACs just upped the ante," he tells Bill. "If you're a senator and you have just been elected, or heaven forbid you're up in 2 years, you're thinking I don't have time to worry about deficit reduction and the fiscal cliff. I have to raise tens of thousands of dollars every day to have enough money to compete with these new super PACs... And that means I need to be nice to a lot of billionaires who often want something from me in order to find the funding for my campaign." duration 56:46 STEREO TVG

Roy Underhill's Woodshop of Old Curiosities
Roy Underhill's The Woodwright's School is filled to the rafters with vintage hand tools, bacon-powered machinery, solid workbenches, piles of wood and more (you can read about the school in Christopher's Schwarz's August 2009 "Great Woodshops" article). And just about everywhere you look, there are also curiosities. While I was at the school to assist in Christopher Schwarz's "Anarchist's Tool Chest" class, I took photographs of some of the interesting oddities, and asked Roy to give me one sentence or so on each. Below are the top 10.

Summer Whitetail Deer
When things heat up in summer you never know what might show up on the game cameras! If you don't have cameras on your property then you don't have as much information about deer, predators and possibly even poachers or trespassers. Check out these super cameras.
Cuddeback Non-Typical Ambush IR features fast trigger speeds, infrared capabilities, compact design and the "Super Simple" setup mode. They have a slim design that isn't as easily visible to others, either, if you have lurkers on your property. Get a couple to hang and find out what your deer are doing. GET IT HERE
Moultrie's new Panoramic 150 has numerous features along with a silent, sliding lens and multiple sensors. When a sensor detects movement, the lens shifts to that zone and gives you a panoramic scene of the entire area, up to 150 degrees. Then you can "stitch" the photos together for a wide view. Pretty amazing. Set up the Panoramic 150 around a game feeder or mineral lick and you can get some super photos. GET IT HERE

About Davis Technical College
About Davis Tech
Davis Technical College (formerly Davis Area Vocational Center) was created by an act of the 1978 Utah State Legislature to serve the residents of Davis and Morgan Counties with technical training. In June 2001, a special session of the Legislature passed House Bill 1003 creating the Utah College of Applied Technology (UCAT), the state's 10th newest institution of higher education. There are eight applied technology campuses: Bridgerland, Davis, Dixie, Mountainland, Ogden-Weber, Tooele, Southwest, and Uintah Basin.
During the 2009 legislative session, the legislature passed House Bill 15, changing the governance from the Utah State Board of Regents to the existing board, Utah College of Applied Technology Board of Trustees, allowing greater control in the future.
Utah College of Applied Technology provides competency-based education in an open-entry, open-exit environment which prepares over 58,753 high school and adult students with career and technical skills. The flexibility of open-entry, open-exit scheduling allows students to start school anytime without waiting for a specific date (i.e. quarters or semesters). UCAT's affordable tuition allows full-time adult students to attend for a base rate of $2.66 /hour and high school students to attend at no tuition cost.
In addition, formal articulation agreements between DavisTech, Weber State University, and University of Phoenix allow for credit equivalency.
Davis Technical College currently offers certificate programs in the Schools of Business, Construction, Health Professions, Information Technology, Manufacturing and Service Professions and Transportation. Employer advisory teams are used extensively to review program standards as they relate to industry demand and employment verification.
DavisTech is dedicated to its philosophy of "We Change Lives." On behalf of our dedicated faculty, staff, Board of Directors and Foundation we extend our warmest welcome.
Davis Technical College is accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education. Information regarding accreditation may be obtained from the Administration Office at:

Artsy Editorial
In otherworldly photographs produced through a marriage of digital and historical techniques, Ann George conveys her memories of the American South and her deep connection to the region, particularly the small town in Louisiana where she grew up. She describes an idyllic childhood, writing: "We went anywhere our bikes would take us. There were always 'get togethers'. . . . Those were glorious nights where the music of the cicada harmonized with the easy slow conversation and distant laughter from the grown-ups." Pictorialist in style, her toned black-and-white photographs are filled with a sense of nostalgia and fantasy. They often feature young women or animals in domestic or natural settings, and in scenarios redolent of dreams and fairytales. In the artist's words: "I desire to describe a journey, a fairytale, a feeling of progression through and to something."

Kmerv,My advice is to wait a month or two until the D800 is being broadly field tested by lots of early adopters and then make a decision about camera bodies.
Which setup would make stiching easier?
Hello everyone,I've shot mostly landscapes since the 90's and I've had several years break from photography due to a demanding day job which killed all my creativity. Thankfully I've now started to find my spark again.Long story short: I've always been a big fan of panoramics (single row mostly) and would like to focus more in them. I have now the following kit which is pretty nice in my opinion:Nikon D7000Sigma 12-24 HSM DG IINikkors: 35 mm f/1.4 G, 50 mm f/1.8 G, 80-200 f/2.8 D ED, 300 mm f/2.8 and a 2x teleconverter. Tripod with leveling base and ball head, but no pano head.Lately I've also got interested in a full frame body thus I'm thinking about switching to Canon 5D mkII and TS-E lenses (and others of course).So the question is: Would it make sense to switch to a 5D mkII and TS-E's or just update current kit with some good panorama head on the tripod?Which setup would make stiching easier? The TS-E's give all kinds of extra control options and advantages, but I wonder if I'd really miss them with a nice pano head? I'd be very grateful for any opinions or comments.
...I also wish that we could concentrate on the gear rather than my skills. I don't want to sound rude or anything, but I'm not exactly a beginner even though I choose to post on the beginners sub-forum.
Well, once you post a question, you can't control the answers...and if you DID have more experience doing panos, I think you would understand it's really NOT about the gear and more about the techniques and the software.
Also I don't mind getting advice for things, but in this case I really do have some basics covered. I've been shooting pano's in one form or another since I switched to digital with Canon 10D when it first came out. Never used any specialized equipment for it though thus I wanted to know where to look if I wanted to start using them.
