After starting the week with a pair of losses, the Owen County High School Lady Rebels finished on a positive note.
The team played Carroll County High School in the championship game of the Eighth Region All 'A' Classic in Owenton Saturday morning. It was the first meeting of the season between the two schools which are in the same district this season.
The Lady Rebels jumped on top in the first half when Morgan Walker scored from close range to give the Lady Rebels a 1-0 lead.
The Owen County High School boys soccer team claimed a championship on Saturday.
The Rebels won the Eighth Region All 'A' Classic in Owenton by defeating Carroll County 3-1.
Owen County played Monday against Louisville Collegiate in Louisville in the All 'A' sub-sectional.
The Rebels got a first half goal from Austin Collins to lead 1-0 at the half.
The Owen County High School Rebels entered Saturday night with a bad taste in their mouth.
They went to Grant County trying to erase the memory of a week one loss at Lloyd. In the game against the Juggernauts, Owen County jumped out to an early lead only to see it vanish before eventually losing in the late stages of the fourth quarter.
Saturday night was just the opposite.
The Rebels got off to a sluggish start before finally things kicked into gear.
The Owen County High School boy's golf team is headed to the State All 'A' Golf Tournament.
The boys captured the Eighth Region All 'A' Championship Aug. 23 at Fairway Golf Course in Wheatley.
The team shot 335 to beat Carroll County by three shots and Walton-Verona by six.
Justin Trusty led the Rebels with a 74 while Zach Ripy fired a 78. Jordan Prather carded a 91. Cole Hamilton shot a 92 and Austin Fitzgerald came in with a 93.
They did it again.
On Aug. 21 at the Fairway Golf Course the Owen County High School Lady Rebels golf team won its fourth-straight Eighth Region All 'A' championship.
Owen County dominated the competition by shooting 330 as a team. The closest competitor was Walton-Verona, which shot 467.
Kennedi Dermon won the individual title by firing a 76. Shelby Power finished two strokes back with a 78. Lynsey Farrar shot 87 with Julie Spaulding hitting 89 and Aly Minch carded a 91. Each Owen County player made the All-Tournament Team.
• The Wolverines are 0-3 after a 44-20 loss to Grant County Friday night in Frankfort. So far this season, Western Hills has been outscored 156-33.
• Western Hills is under the direction of Don Miller, who is in his seventh year as head coach. His career record is 28-43. His best season was 2009 when the Wolverines finished 8-4.
• The Rebels and Wolverines played a shootout last year at Patterson Field. The 32-26 win by the Rebels was the smallest margin of victory for Owen County last season.
• The Owen County High School boy's soccer team took part in the Rotary Capital City Soccer Classic last week in Frankfort. The team began the week with a 7-2 loss to Western Hills Aug. 21. Carlos Perez had both goals and James Marston had a pair of assists.
They then dropped a 2-0 decision to Franklin County Aug. 23 before losing 6-1 to Frankfort on Saturday.
The team will look to get back on track Wednesday as they host Gallatin County in the Eighth Region All 'A' Classic. A win would move them on to play again at home on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Aug. 26
Game 1:
Owen County Midgets 20 - Gallatin County Midgets 7
The first quarter of the game saw both teams battle defensively.
Gallatin scored in the early in the second quarter to take a 7-0 lead.
Owen County responded with a touchdown by Eli Rice and an extra-point conversion by Kenny Wagers to make it 7-7.
Owen County got the ball to start the third quarter and Eli Rice took the ball 45 yards for his second touchdown of the day. Eli Myers scored the extra-point conversion to put Owen County up 14-7.
The Maurice Bowling Middle School football team is off to a 2-0 start to begin the season. The team beat East Oldham in the opener before defeating Henry County last Thursday at Patterson Field.
Against East Oldham, the Rebels fell behind 8-0 before MBMS answered with a long drive that ended with a short touchdown run by Austin Riggs. Nolan Tackett and Ross Ford connected for the 2-point conversion to tie the game at 8-8.
• The girl's soccer team was in action last week at the Capital City Classic in Frankfort. The team lost to Western Hills, Franklin County and Frankfort. The team will be at home today (Wednesday) as they host Henry County in their first 31st district game. They will travel to Ludlow on Saturday before returning home on Monday for a game with Bryan Station.

In high school, my family used to get assorted flavors of high-sugar cereals. Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, and Corn Pops frequented the top of my fridge, and every morning, my brother and I would have a huge bowl of them just because. We'd pour so much milk into our bowls that we bought a gallon of milk every week (I later learned this wasn't considered normal). When we found the magical crunch of chocolate cocoa puffs, we dug in. We'd have a bowl for breakfast, and a bowl on Friday and Saturday nights, just to hold us over during our midnight video game marathons.
One morning, as I started eating my puffs, I started to reflect on my experience in high school with serious doubt after an incident that made me keenly aware of my skin color and social caste in the school. The teacher at the time, revered by all, made it obvious that he didn't think I belonged in the honors class. The looks on the other students in the class (all white) signaled to me that perhaps complaining about the incident would be like barking up the wrong tree. Some laughed uncomfortably while others stood silent, hoping it would go away.
Once I snapped out, I noticed a little chocolate puff floating in this big bowl of milk, bobbing up and down as it sailed around the inner rim. My first real understanding of W.E.B. DuBois' double consciousness.
Currently, a group of concerned advocacy groups including the NAACP, Latino Justice PRLDEF, and the Center for Law and Justice at Medgar Evers College, filed a complaint against Stuyvesant High School's (and New York City Department of Education's) use of a specialized high school exam as the sole determinant for entry into their school. I'm inclined to disagree with Mike Bloomberg's contention that having a test is the same as basing a student's entry on merit. As with any standardized test, institutions should take into account the sheer volume of preparation some parents undertake in order to make sure their student succeeds on those, and lots of that can be predicted economically.
In spaces where one measure coincidentally attracted only a couple of groups towards a place of prestige, we need to make sure all kids get a fair look.
More importantly, once schools like Stuyvesant address the diversity in their admissions process, then they'll have to address what happens once the few who make it do get in there. Other such schools that require multiple measures, like interviews, grades, and teacher recommendation letters, at least give a shot to those who freeze up for those two hours of the special admissions test. Despite whatever impressions my friends and family had about my experience in high school, make no mistake: it was hard. Academically, I handled school rather well my first two years there, then proceeded to dip my junior and senior years as my teachers demanded more. Socially, I joined as many non-athletic clubs as I could and volunteered at my middle school just to keep me grounded.
But, the more "H"s and "AP"s I saw next to my class schedules, the less I saw less of "me"s.
In order to adopt, I had to assimilate to some of the traditions and linguistics my friends had. My r's became flatter, my s' sharper, my t's enunciated. Frankly, without my friends who moved up with me to this school, I might have completely lost touch with the very community I represented. Thus, people like me, unbeknownst to us develop two identities, one that can shift their faces amongst the hoods and the baggy jeans, and the other with shaven face and proper collar.
What becomes of these unique intelligent ones once they go into predominantly White classrooms?
I do get it, too. My high school prepared me for the rigors of Syracuse University, where Dave Chappelle once joked "When I looked down [from the plane], all I saw was White … and then there was the snow." At this stage of the game, going to a truly academically rigorous school often means going to a place with very little cultural diversity, a sad state indeed. Few schools have a good, balanced student body and high academic standards that consistently challenge students … with a staff that knows how to handle it appropriately. Even then, sometimes the groups just stick in their racial and cultural groups with a few tokens on either side.
As I stared at the bowl with the floating puff, I noticed that the bowl of milk had also gotten a chocolate flavor as a result of the puffs that once floated there. Once we dedicate ourselves to adding more puffs, we leave an indelible mark on each other. We might work well in isolation, but we work much better when we complement each other as a whole.

NM Tech Researchers Study Deep-subsurface Microbes, Nov. 27, 2001
SOCORRO, N.M., November 27, 2001 -- New Mexico Tech graduate student Sean McCuddy recently returned from field research conducted deep beneath the surface of the Earth, having spent most of his summer in the labyrinthine tunnels of several of the world's deepest gold mines -- many of them situated more than two miles below the South African plains.
Though he is pursuing a master of science degree in geology at New Mexico Tech, McCuddy's most recent field assignment did not involve gathering gold samples, but rather had him retrieving a variety of unusual microorganisms found at such extreme depths, many of which had never before been named or identified.
These deep-dwelling bacteria, known as thermophiles for their affinity for heat, survive and grow within rocks that have ambient temperatures that sometimes exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and often do so without oxygen.
"One of the techniques we've employed in this research project is to sample pristine -- that is, uncontaminated by the mining process -- pore or fracture water that is typically found inside these types of rocks," explains New Mexico Tech microbiologist Tom Kieft, the principal investigator of the project. "However, this is not a trivial thing to do. It's hard to get a representative sample of water that will also have the viable subsurface microorganisms we're looking for."
From the fracture water reclaimed from the deep-subsurface rocks, Kieft and his research colleagues use bacteria-culturing methods to grow colonies of a few of these subterranean microbes right in the lab.
"However, many of these microbes cannot be cultivated through normal means," Kieft says, "so we've turned to sequencing their DNA."
Kieft, himself, has been down into the South African gold mines twice now in pursuit of microorganisms, and describes the environment as ". . . not for someone who's claustrophobic."
Even for McCuddy, who spent four months going down into the depths of the mines on average of two or three times a week, it was never something he could get used to doing.
"The steel cages of the mine's elevator system would be filled up with anywhere from 30 to 50 miners, besides myself," McCuddy relates, "and then we'd go down about a mile, where we'd walk over to another steel-cage elevator that would take us down another mile."
Once he reached bottom, McCuddy and other members of the research team would then walk another mile or two from the main shaft through the mine's vast network of tunnels to visit various sites, where they would either hoist down sampling cartridges into pre-existing bore holes or retrieve the ones they had left there two or three weeks prior.
"We wanted to take samples at different depths of these prospecting holes which had been drilled by the mining companies to see what types of microorganisms we could find at different levels," McCuddy says.
"There's even some hint in some of the mines of groundwater having come up from deeper, hotter zones," Kieft says, "and some microorganisms may have come up along with it.
"However, outside of any natural environment they might be found in, microorganisms are typically difficult to cultivate," he adds. "Nevertheless, we try to grow them in culture, or, if we have to, to characterize them through indirect means."
In the first two years of their five-year study, Kieft and his graduate students have been successful in growing several strains of sulfate-reducing bacteria, methanogenic (methane- generating) and methanotropic (methane-"eating") bacteria, and metal-reducing bacteria that cause formation of iron and manganese minerals.
"We also found a metal-reducing thermophile in the first sample we collected that we've discovered is extremely efficient in reducing iron, manganese, sulfur, nitrates, uranium, chromium, cobalt, and technetium," Kieft says. "We're calling this one Thermophillus multireducens, but that's still unofficial since the name hasn't been accepted in the literature, yet."
Kieft points out that the deep-subsurface microbiology research program -- a collaborative effort with Princeton University geoscientist Tullis Onstott -- is continually generating new data about the unique microbes, resulting in mutual benefits for all the parties involved in the research.
"There are potential benefits to the mining companies in South Africa in that they might be able to use some of the information about where these microbes are found to improve extraction of minerals in subsurface environments," he says. "As for us, it helps us better understand the limits of life, and extends our knowledge of bio-geochemistry."
NASA, who along with the National Science Foundation, is co- funding the study, is interested in applying what Kieft and his colleagues learn about subsurface environments to their planned missions to Mars, since there is speculation that microbial life may exist below that planet's surface, as well.
In the meantime, Kieft is planning on conducting a research workshop for minority undergraduates -- particularly African American and Black South African students -- which will give them first-hand experiences with collecting and studying subsurface microorganisms. The workshop will be held the week of December 16 - 21, in South Africa.

Lou Scheimer, who founded the Filmation animation studio that became a Saturday-morning cartoon powerhouse with characters such as Fat Albert, He-Man and the Archies, died Thursday at his home in Tarzana. He was 84.
He had Parkinson's disease, said his wife, Mary Ann.
Scheimer's company, which in the early 1980s was the largest animation operation in the country based on its number of employees, was lauded for being one of the last holdouts against shipping work overseas. But Filmation television cartoons were roundly criticized by movie buffs for lacking the artistry and full motion of theatrical cartoons of a bygone era.
"Given the demands of the network schedules, it's practically impossible to take all care and love we would like to on the technical aspects," Scheimer said in a 1981 Times interview. "We'd love to do theatrical shorts, and if you can find somebody to pay for them, let us know."
Louis Scheimer was born Oct. 19, 1928, in Pittsburgh. He graduated with an art degree from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon), where one of his classmates was Andy Warhol. In 1955 he moved to Southern California to work in the animation industry.
He founded Filmation Associates in 1962 with a $5,000 loan from his mother-in-law and set up shop in a one-room office. An early series turned out by the company was the futuristic "Rod Rocket," featuring a space-traveling boy who battled with a pair of bumbling, Russian-accented enemy explorers. The action was so stilted that in some dialogue sequences, the only thing moving in the frame was a character's mouth.
Filmation wanted to do a series based on a far more high-profile character, Superman, but DC Comics — which owned the rights — wanted to visit the studio to see if it could handle the work. The problem was that at that point, Filmation had almost no staff. "I called everybody I knew," Scheimer said in a documentary about the cartoon series, "and we filled the place up with people doing fake drawings."
The ruse worked and "The New Adventures of Superman" was Filmation's first big hit.
Eventually, the Woodland Hills company had hundreds of animators working on series such as "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids," "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" and "The Archie Show." Scheimer won a Daytime Emmy as a producer of the 1974-75 season of the "Star Trek" animated series.
There were also misses. In 1975 Filmation produced "Uncle Croc's Block," which featured live sequences with Charles Nelson Reilly dressed in a crocodile suit. It lasted less than a season. And the 1987 animated feature film "Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night" also bombed.
Filmation was sold in 1969 for stock to a cable operator, Teleprompter, that was in turn bought by Westinghouse in 1981. Scheimer remained as head of Filmation but he was pressed to cut costs, and in 1987 he angered workers and their union with the announcement that some work would be shipped overseas. In 1989 Filmation was bought by a French investor group that closed the Woodland Hills plant, firing almost all the employees.
Scheimer had been retired for the last several years. At the 2012 Comic-Con in San Diego, he appeared on a panel that discussed the effect Filmation had on the business, and he was given the Inkpot Award, which honors individual contributions to animation and other fields.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by two children — daughter Erika of Santa Monica and son Lane of Maui, Hawaii — from an earlier marriage to Jay Scheimer. She died in 2009.

I use Fiddler2 daily – it's one of the greatest debugging tools I've ever come across. You can hammer into the traffic coming and going across the tubes and tamper with the data as you like. You can substitute alternative local data in the place of remote server responses. You can modify headers on the fly. And this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all you can do.
One of the problems I have is that, like many of you I'm sure, my browser is hardly ever doing one thing. Although I may be trying to debug a web-app, I may also be tied into my GMail inbox, streaming some music over Turntable, or watching the flow of tweets glide across @jonathansampson. All of these items cause sessions to be logged in Fiddler, adding a whole lot of noise to what I'm trying to work on.
So what do you do when you have specific hosts that you want to track? You make use of the Filters tab.
This highly-customizable tab will provide active filtering of the sessions coming across your screen. You can instruct it to show only intranet traffic, or only internet traffic. You can explicitly ignore particular hosts, or you can ignore everything but a select few. As my earlier summary of Fiddler didn't begin to scratch the surface, neither does my explanation of this panel begin to touch on all that the Filter feature is capable of.
Have a look.
What I'll be looking at here is the first part, the hosts section.
For starters, we need to click the "Use Filters" check-box to enable this feature. Now in my particular situtation all I want to see is anything that comes from a particular domain, such as microsoft.com. This would include any subdomains as well.
The first thing I will do is select "Show only Internet Hosts" from the first dropdown. From the second dropdown, I'll select "Show only the following Hosts". This enables the textarea below, which will take a series of expressions or explicit domains to watch for.
Insert *microsoft.com and you should see the textarea turn yellow, informing us that "Changes not yet saved." At this point, click the Actions button to the top-right, and select "Run Filterset now". If you already had sessions from your target domain in your session list, those should be all you see in there at this point.
From this you can infer how to go about blocking only particular domains, and various other things. You might even dare to venture into the rest of the filter options, creating a highly-customized instruction set. If you do, be sure to save your filter from the same Actions button we used to run the filterset.
I find this to be an enormously helpful feature, and I'm sure you will as well. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some work to do and very little noise preventing me from getting it done, thanks to Fiddler.

Vibrations of change will soon be rumbling an arena near you.
Next weekend, two electronic dance music acts whose music you're not likely to hear on the radio will entertain thousands of young people at Hampton Coliseum.
Pretty Lights, the stage name for Derek Vincent Smith, and Bassnectar, also known as Lorin Ashton, will serve up the gut-rattling bass buzzes, android bleeps and pulsating rhythms for euphoric crowds of party people mostly under age 30.
If predictions hold up, it will be the largest electronic music concert that's played Hampton Roads in recent memory — possibly ever.

Mouse mutation gives obesity clues
"The secret to staying slim may be all in your genes," the Daily Mail has today reported, adding that scientists have uncovered a "greedy gene that makes you eat more even when you are full".
Before any dieters lose hope and reach for the nearest biscuit, it's important to note that this news is based on research looking at a mutant gene in mice, not humans. The study examined the impact of a mutated gene called BDNF and the role it plays in telling the body it is full. Normally, various organs and tissues will use hormones to tell the brain that no more food is needed, causing the brain to suppress our appetite. However, when mice carried a mutant version of the BDNF hormone it appeared this fullness mechanism was blocked, which meant they carried on eating and gaining weight. Male mice carrying the mutation became nearly twice as heavy as their non-mutant counterparts, while females were 2.7 times heavier.
This study may provide a springboard for further research into the role of genetics in the development of obesity. However, this study was carried out in mice and the findings cannot be assumed to apply to humans, whose bodies may react differently to any similar mutation. It's also not clear how many humans actually carry similar mutations, so it should not be assumed that all obesity is down to genetics.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center and the University of Colorado in the US. It was funded by the US National Institutes of Health and the American Diabetes Association.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Medicine.
Generally, this research was covered well in the media, with the BBC and the Daily Mail emphasising that the study was carried out in mice, not humans. The Mail pointed out that even if the research leads to treatments for obesity, it will be years before these would be made available.
What kind of research was this?
This was an animal study that examined the role of a gene called "brain-derived neurotrophic factor" (BDNF) in the development of obesity. The researchers said that mutations of this gene have been shown to cause overeating and obesity in humans, and the researchers wanted to investigate how the gene influences energy balance.
The researchers said that energy balance is controlled by several organs that send signals to the brain when certain chemicals (such as the hormones leptin and insulin) are present in sufficient amounts. These signals cause several brain regions to react and control appetite and energy expenditure. The BDNF protein (which is generated using the BDNF gene in our DNA) is involved in regulating how signals are transmitted through the brain. Mutations within the BDNF gene can lead to a different form of BDNF protein being produced, potentially causing different effects compared with a typical form of BDNF.
Animal studies are often used to conduct early, experimental research and to examine specific interventions or processes before research can be carried out in humans.
What did the research involve?
The researchers took two groups of mice, one with a mutated version of the BDNF gene and the other with a normal version of the gene. They then monitored the eating habits of the mice, measuring the amount of food consumed as well as bodyweight and the development of obesity.
In order to uncover the mechanism by which BDNF mutations affect obesity, the researchers also studied the role of certain chemicals including the "hunger hormone" leptin and its ability to activate the hypothalamus and suppress eating behaviours. The hypothalamus is normally activated by leptin, although once activated the hormone suppresses the appetite. The researchers looked at the role of leptin in mice with and without the mutation, injecting them with leptin three times over a day. They then measured changes in eating habits throughout the day.
This animal study can provide information on the probable role of BDNF mutations on the development of obesity, but it cannot be assumed that the results apply to humans.
What were the basic results?
The researchers found that by five-to-six weeks of age, mice with mutated copies of the BDNF gene developed severe obesity and had a higher body weight than mice that did not have a mutated version of the gene.
By 16 weeks of age, female mice with the mutation were 171% heavier than their non-BDNF mutation counterparts, and male mice were 90% heavier. The researchers found that the obesity was caused by eating more food, not reduced activity levels. They found that the mice carrying a mutated version of BDNF ate 69%-80% more food than their counterparts.
When examining the role of leptin in the regulation of eating in mutant mice, the researchers found that the chemical did not activate the hypothalamus and inhibit eating as it does in mice without a mutated version of BDNF. They found that the mice that did not carry a mutated version of BDNF reduced the amount of food they ate by 26% after being injected with leptin. The mice with the mutated form of BDNF, however, showed no changes in the amount of food they consumed after having leptin injections.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers concluded that mutations of the BDNF gene caused obesity due to overeating. They further concluded that, in mice carrying this mutation, leptin's ability to activate the hypothalamus and regulate food consumption was impaired.
The number of obese people in the UK has been rising in recent years and this is likely to continue. Obesity is linked to several health problems, including diabetes and heart disease.
This study shows that BDNF mutations can cause obesity in mice and suggests a possible mechanism through which it might work. However, while it may lead to further investigations into the role of this gene in human obesity, the results cannot be directly applied to people. Firstly, the biological mechanisms and processes involved may not apply to the human body, and even if they did, human hunger and eating is unlikely to be solely influenced by a single mutation, with factors such as willpower and environment also involved. It is also not clear how many people carry the gene and whether it is found in a high proportion of obese people.
The researchers say that understanding the way in which communication circuits in the brain have an effect on energy balance and eating habits could lead to new strategies for addressing or treating obesity. However, the current study is at a very early stage, and is unlikely to lead to such strategies in the near future.
Several factors can contribute to the development of obesity in humans, including high food intake, low activity levels, genetics and socioeconomic factors. While research into the genetic factors that contribute to obesity is informative and may lead to the development of treatment options, there are strategies available now to treat obesity, such as exercising more and eating a healthy balanced diet high in fruit and vegetables and lower in sugars and saturated fats.

Trade could help Obama with biz
Following an election that pitted President Barack Obama against the business community, next year may be a time for the two sides to find common ground.
But making amends may be easier to do overseas than at home.
Story Continued Below
Obama, intent on boosting U.S. exports, wants a Pacific Rim trade deal by the end of 2013 — and it's a key priority for House Republicans and U.S. companies, including financial firms like Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, which operate around the world. Plus, hopes are high that the administration will start negotiations early in 2013 over a major trade and investment pact with the European Union.
The international trade deals give Obama the chance to champion U.S. economic interests abroad even as the business community continues to grumble that his policies at home are crimping their profits.
"I believe this is an ideal moment to work with Congress and the administration on an ambitious free-trade agenda," U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue told the chamber's board of directors last week.
Still, Obama's credentials as a free-trade advocate are suspect among many in the business and foreign policy communities. And Republicans remain frustrated that Obama has not yet requested so-called fast-track trade negotiating authority, which would be needed to push any final trade deal through the 113th Congress.
The administration's foreign economic policy team is also facing serious turnover, with point man Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner heading for the exits.
On trade, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk is also set to leave his post, with Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, seen as a top candidate to replace him. And Rebecca Blank, who heads the Commerce Department, still has an "acting" next to her title.
How those trade positions are filled will be "important signals to the business community," said the chamber's senior director for international policy, Christopher Wenk.
If trade deals are made, they probably wouldn't hit the House or Senate floor until late 2013, at the earliest. But Obama will have other chances to weigh in on foreign economic policy in 2013, most notably when it comes to international taxation. Corporate leaders are betting that congressional tax writers and the White House can work out a long-awaited tax overhaul in 2013 that moves the United States closer to a territorial tax system.
But Obama has repeatedly proposed measures aimed at penalizing companies that keep earnings overseas and rewarding those that invest in the United States.
And the Business Roundtable, a prominent group of CEOs, is already working to shape perceptions and ensure that lawmakers view multinationals as integral to the U.S. economy, not a target for tax hikes.

NM Tech to Install New Hot Water System, Oct. 9, 2005
by Shawna Carter
SOCORRO, N.M., Oct. 4, 2005 — The New Mexico Tech Facilities Management Department (FMD) has announced that the Phase I preliminary installation of a new hot water system for the entire campus begins on Monday, October 10.
The current hot water system being used on campus is more than 25-years-old and has experienced several breaks over the past summer months, causing concern among New Mexico Tech administrators that the currently employed system will eventually fail — maybe as early as this winter — if it is not soon replaced.
In response, a "short-loop" is to be installed as soon as possible on Campus Drive, behind Driscoll, Fitch, Presidents, and West halls. Once completed, this short-loop will allow the FMD to repair hot water leaks on campus without disrupting hot water and heating to students living in campus residence halls, especially during the upcoming winter months.
Because of this latest campus construction project, Campus Drive will be completely closed during the construction of the short-loop. Students who usually park along Campus Drive are being asked to instead park along the east side of the Tech Athletic Field, along both sides of Leroy Place.
In the meanwhile, a larger project has been proposed which would completely replace the entire hot water system that provides hot water service to all of the campus. The short-loop installation, therefore is Phase I of this larger infrastructure repair project.
FMD's long range plans call for placing portions of the new hot water system, along with several other utility systems, in a subterranean access tunnel underneath the campus. This tunnel would loop around from outside Cramer Hall south to Fitch Hall. The tunnel layout would then make a right-hand turn, proceeding west and terminating just east of Workman Center.
This proposed access tunnel would allow for repairs and upgrades to any of the utilities contained in the tunnel to be made in a relatively dry environment, cutting down on the time affected campus facilities would spend without that particular utility service.
If funding is acquired, the access tunnel project at New Mexico Tech will begin in mid-February 2006 and end in November 2006. The short-loop project, however, is projected to be finished by no later than November 30, 2005.

Summer isn't coming—it's already here. But it's not too late to get your whiskey- and winter-ravaged body a little more beach-ready by July 4th. Starting today, we're launching a weekly fitness column to keep you inspired, help you vary your workouts, answer your questions (even the kinda dumb ones), and keep your thighs, butt, and gut from busting through those slim-fit clothes we're always banging on about here.
First thing's first: Meet Oscar Smith of O-Diesel Studio in New York City, who will be a regular here. The man knows what it takes to get in shape (just ask clients past and present like Tom Brady, Katherine McPhee, and Jessica Gomes). And what it takes (surprise!) doesn't include pumping a bunch of iron, and it doesn't even need to include a gym membership. Smith's workouts can be done in your backyard, or in a hotel room when you're on the road. And as long as you've got shoes, shorts, and an old Lakers T-shirt, the only thing you need to buy is a jump rope. Smith's philosophy is simple and 100-percent bullshit-free: Train in circuits, and don't be that guy checking your Blackberry or catching up on SportsCenter for five minutes between every ercise. Keep your workout going, keep your heart rate up, and you'll burn more calories and finally get in shape. And so what about your diet? "I hate diet fads," Smith says. "We all know what the answer is: Don't eat too much. You don't have to eat the whole plate; eat half of it. Cut your calories in half." And then burn more than you've taken in.
To kick things off, we asked Oscar for a simple (but not necessarily easy) circuit that will jump-start the workouts of any and every dude, regardless of current condition. Give it a shot, and check back here for more every Monday.
From Oscar: This is a test workout, to see where you stand. It's definitely going to get your heart rate up and get you going. If you can do this workout and keep with it, that means you're in somewhat-decent shape. Not in good shape, not in great shape, but you're in decent shape.
The only equipment you need is a jump rope. After warming up by jumping rope or doing jumping jacks for one minute, stretch. Then, do each ercise on the following list without resting. Once you're done, rest for 15 seconds and do it again. Try doing the whole list three times.
10 push-ups
Keep your fingers spread out, your stomach tight, and your hips in line with your shoulders. Go down until your nose hits the ground, and push back up until your arms lock.
10 dips
Sit down on a chair or bench and cup your hands on the edge on either side of your thighs. Walk your legs out until you're no longer sitting and are supporting yourself on your hands. Using your arms, lower yourself in front of the chair, then push back up until your arms are fully extended.
30 lunges (15 each leg)
Standing with your hands on your hips and your feet shoulder-width apart, take a normal stride out, bending your forward leg at a 90-degree angle. Your back leg should also be at a 90-degree angle, and you should not bang your knee on the ground. Keeping your stomach tight and your hips aligned with your shoulders, step back into your starting position and repeat with the other leg.
15 squat pops
With your feet shoulder-width apart, squat, then jump into the air, reaching your arms for the ceiling. Once you land, bring your feet shoulder-width apart again and repeat.

Your shopping cart is empty!
Many of our families have requested a cremation container that will hold the ashes of two people. A double urn has the oversize capacity to provide a final resting place for parents, couples, partners and loved ones. Many of the companion cremation urns come with single compartments, allowing the co-mingling of the ashes, or divided compartments with separate storage for each person's ashes.

The prevalent thought in the tech press right now is that Apple has lost its innovative edge and that Google has gained one.
People point to the excitement around Google's computerized glasses, self-driving cars, and new laptop, the Chrome Pixel.
Meanwhile, they look at Apple and note that it hasn't invented a new product category since 2010, when it launched the iPad.
Daring Fireball's John Gruber has had enough of it. He says the only people getting excited about Google's innovations are "nerds" - while normal people still love Apple.
Plus, says Gruber, Apple is actually shipping its products.
Google Glass absolutely is generating buzz, but it's not "the sort of buzz usually reserved for Apple products". Glass has nerds excited; Apple products get the general public excited, and often annoy nerds by being iterative improvements that press the " familiar but better" button instead of the " new and different" button.
On the one hand, we have actual shipping products from Apple that are critically acclaimed and selling in record numbers (and for record profits); on the other, a $1300 laptop that only runs a web browser and a HUD headset that will supposedly ship at the end of the year from Google. And this somehow shows that Apple is slumping.

Jim Carrey Statement about Lawsuit
This is awful. What a piece of s**t this ex of hers is.
Re: :(
Her husband was a scientologist?
I think the issue here, is that he a bad person... the religion he may be is the least important part.
I'm a guardian of the spark...
I'm a God damn and proud good fan... and I love it! = )>
Re: :(
God, yes. All of her despicable buddies who have been bad-mouthing Jim are Scientologists. She was drafted into the cult years ago. And Scientology IS very bad. Bad people doing very bad things. They are horrendous.
And she married him to stay in the country. He didn't have any contact with her, they lived in different states.
This blog has a lot of info and has posted today about this shithead Burton http://tonyortega.org/2016/09/20/cat-wh ... e-wedding/
Re: :(
I was very shocked to read that that man is suing Jim for the suicide of Cathriona. He really is despicable, he wants to destroy him. He is even after Jim's private jet.
If he cared so much about his wife, why didn't he show up at her funeral or the rest of her so called (scientologist) friends? I think those people knew she was suicidal and didn't do anything about it.
Jim Carrey Statement about Lawsuit.
Wednesday, September 21, 2016--5:48 pm CST
I'm pretty confident that Jim Carrey will win this lawsuit. I hope he does win it, so he can put this behind him and get back to his life. I have a feeling his nerves are probably pretty shot now, but I'm very glad that Jim Carrey is gonna fight this lawsuit publicly and not fight it "behind closed doors".
2015 was a very tough and emotional year for Jim. He doesn't need for 2016 to be another tough and emotional year. I hope he wins it.
I prayed for Jim Carrey Monday night and last night, I'll probably pray for him again tonight. I still tell Jim Carrey goodnight every night on his Twitter page.
Have a blessed evening,
Terry Marvin (Dallas, Texas)
P.S. My birthday is next Thursday, September 29, I'll be 63.
Re: :(
I'm trying to think of a time when I've been more angry... and ...nope. Fury doesn't even begin to cover it. This is obviously an orchestrated ploy by those evil bastards to publicly attack him and almost exactly a year to the day she died. Scum of the earth who apparently don't even have the intelligence to realise that this is going to blow up in their shitty faces in a MASSIVE way.
Re: Jim Carrey Statement about Lawsuit.
I just wanted to say that there is always only ONE person to blame in a suicide. I am sorry for Jim and the pain he has already endured regarding Cathriona's suicide. Trying to sue HIM for something SHE did is wrong and greedy. I stand with Jim on this.
Re: :(
I just reread the interview Jenny Burpee gave to an Irish newspaper and found this:
"Jenny also said she fears Cathriona may have been in the house "for days" after her plush US$1 million (€890,000) LA pad's security CCTV showed her failing to leave the property after returning home on Thursday, September 24."
http://thestar.ie/exclusive-cathriona-w ... ends-body/
Re: :(
Ugh, that Burpee creature .. Terrible woman, terrible name. Has been bad-mouthing Jim right off the bat. She is deep into Scientology and was an 'ethics officer'.. look it up and be horrified.
They're so fucking stupid, they can't even keep track of their own collective words. The Burton filth is painting Jim as the one who had security cameras installed so he alone could monitor Cathriona, when Burp's comment kind of completely negates that horseshit.
Again, please read Tony Ortega's blog on this..
http://tonyortega.org/2015/10/04/meet-t ... ientology/
Re: Jim Carrey Statement about Lawsuit.
This is getting really dirty now......it says more about the moral ineptitude of her ex husband and his hideous religion/cult though.
My thoughts are with her poor family .
Re: :(
We've got to be careful what we say about Scientology folks, they're not nice people and will threaten and sue at the drop of a hat. Needless to say, it's obvious to the whole world that there are people pulling the ex husbands strings. It looks as though Jim has become 'fair game'.
And irrespective of whether or not STD'S Were involved it's worth pointing out that she was a grown (married) woman, capable of making her own choices and safeguarding her own health. If she chose not to do that then the blame is with her. I am saddened that she seemed to think no-one would want her. 2 conditions were minor, one curable and Herpes 2 would have been an inconvenience, not a death sentence. Either she's had appalling advice or she has used this as an excuse. It's all very sad and messy but something doesn't feel right who was advising her behind the scenes and what were their motives?........this is far bigger than we realize....
Re: :(
Some people are more prone to depression and anything can drive them to a dark mood. Half of Hollywood has STDs and that's not a reason for a suicide. I think those latest STD news are for him to lose reputation and based on some comments that people write, i can say that some people started to believe that Jim is an evil. I hope that comes to an end very soon and we won't see that mark's sh**ty face. Sorry for the bad word

Prince Fielder, Austin Jackson and Torii Hunter homered, and Anibal Sanchez pitched six scoreless innings to help the Detroit Tigers overcome Miguel Cabrera's absence in a 6-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.
CHICAGO (AP) ? The Detroit Tigers keep on winning, even without Miguel Cabrera.
Prince Fielder, Austin Jackson and Torii Hunter homered, and Anibal Sanchez pitched six scoreless innings to help the Tigers overcome Cabrera's latest absence in a 6-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night.
Cabrera, the reigning AL MVP and baseball's first Triple Crown winner in 45 years last season, left Monday's game in the bottom of the fifth inning with a left hip flexor injury. He hasn't played since and might sit out Thursday, too, when the Tigers go for a four-game sweep and their fifth straight win.
Sanchez (8-7) earned his first win since July 6, allowing six hits and striking out five. The right-hander had only allowed five earned runs in his previous two starts, both losses, but continued Detroit's strong starting pitching during the series.
In three games, Tigers starters have pitched 21 innings and allowed two runs, giving the Cabrera-less lineup room to breathe.
"We need (Cabrera) on the end," Sanchez said. "He's a big piece of the lineup and we need to try to play hard without him."
They did just that Wednesday, hitting three homers off John Danks (2-8) despite not having Cabrera, who is hitting .358 with 31 homers and 96 RBIs.
"It falls squarely on me. This is no one else's fault. It was just one of those nights," Danks said. "There is no other way to explain it, just wasn't able to do what I wanted to do.
"That's just the way it goes. I understand what happened. I understand adjustments need to be made, and we will work on it."
Fielder gave the Tigers a 3-0 lead in the first with his 17th home run. Hunter reached on a fielder's choice, and Matt Tuiasosopo walked before Fielder hit a 1-0 pitch into deep right-center field for his first homer since July 10.
Danks retired the first two batters in the second before Jackson hooked the first pitch around the foul pole in left to make it 4-0.
In the fifth, Hunter hit his ninth homer to give Detroit a 5-0 lead. Hunter went 2 for 5, improving to .354 in July.
Over three games against left-handed starters Chris Sale, Hector Santiago, and Danks, Detroit has scored 11 earned runs.
"Well, I mean, yeah, we did a good job," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Prince has hit lefties real good. He got us off to a great start."
That was enough to propel Sanchez and Detroit past Chicago, which dropped to 20 games below .500 for the first time Sept. 26, 2007. The White Sox are a season-high 16 games out of first place.
Danks lost his second straight start and is winless since July 2. He worked seven innings and matched his season high by giving up six runs along with 11 hits ? including the three home runs to give him 17 allowed this season in 12 starts.
"It was a tough game. Kind of a frustrating game," Danks said. "Hard to make the ball do what I wanted it to and hard to get it where I wanted it to be."
Nights like Wednesday are why the White Sox are expected to be sellers before the July 31 trade deadline.
"There are a lot of things floating out there that make it more difficult for guys to just play baseball," Ventura said. "I think subconsciously it is in there. Whether you like to think so or not, it's there, because everything is floating out there. I'll be glad when it turns August."
By then, Cabrera should be back for the Tigers. Not that they need to rush him back the way the offense has been without him.
"That's good because that gives him more chance to recover (from) the soreness he's got," Sanchez said.
NOTES: RHP Jair Jurrjens signed a Triple-A contract and will join Detroit's affiliate Toledo on Friday. Jurrjens started his career with the Tigers in 2007 and spent five seasons with Atlanta before signing with Baltimore. He made two appearances this season before becoming a free agent on July 18. ... Leyland said 2B Ramon Santiago would start Thursday. ... Both White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy and right fielder Alex Rios addressed trade speculation surrounding them. Peavy, bothered by sore ribs after his Saturday start, said he is "pretty abreast" of what's happening and won't "be caught off guard" if he is traded. Rios said he doesn't "have people asking me or telling me what is going on" and he has "no idea" what will happen. ... White Sox 2B Gordon Beckham missed his fourth straight game with a strained left wrist sustained Friday. He took soft tosses. ... White Sox RHP Jesse Crain, out since July 3 with a strained right shoulder, played catch and said he felt OK. ... Thursday's pitching matchup features two former Cy Young Award winners, with Detroit's Justin Verlander (10-7, 3.69) facing Peavy (7-4, 4.19).

Am planning to watch a dhoom dhadaka film today...The Expendables. Not my kind of film, at all. Par kya karey? Family ke vaastey karna padta hai... but at least I know the dinner to follow at my daughter's home will be amazing and fun. Last night's dinner at our favourite restaurant The Table, was outstanding as always... particularly the shrimp dumplings in a flavoursome broth. Even on a thursday night, the place was packed and buzzed. I sipped a Perrier after the longest time. I needed to cool off, after a pretty passionate debate on NDTV , dissecting the abrupt transfer of Mumbai's Police Commissioner, Arup Patnaik.
The weekend is looking good. I'll be booking my tickets for Shirin- Farhad. Can't wait to watch Farah Khan on the big screen. I am so sure she'll be brilliant. More roles for the talented Ms. Khan?

What men want: White, tight and bright!
Remember how we all mocked the launch of Fairness Creams for women in India all those many moons ago? Outrageous! Feminists declared authoritatively. Nobody paid the slightest attention to our strident squawks of protest. The market for the offensive product grew and grew and grew. It was soon declared the fastest selling cream in India, and before any of us could huff and puff some more, it was joined by its twin – a fairness cream for men! Apparently, the clamour for that product can barely be met by manufacturers.Who can argue against market forces? Or the persuasive powers of the male model – King Khan, himself? Soon, all of us shut up and a myriad brands of Fairness Creams continued to outpace demand on crowded supermarket shelves. One supposes, countless young couples found their dream mates thanks to the miracle of the cream. They also found glory in their jobs. And great success in any other equally stupendous activity they subsequently undertook. After all, their skin was now ten shades lighter than the one God had given them.
Not satisfied with lightening facial complexions, manufacturers discovered a fresh , new area of female insecurity that needed not just whitening, but also tightening. Thus was launched a brand new cream that promised to lighten the delicate skin of a women's vagina. While that was happening, the cream promised a tighter private part that would impress future husbands. How? Well, the idea was to replicate a virgin's non-violated, untouched orifice as faithfully as possible. To get this revolutionary product off the ground, the manufacturers of 18Again roped in starlet Celina Jaitley ( mother of twins, and a self- declared Gay Rights' spokesperson) to endorse the controversial cream . If that dismayed her constituency, it hardly mattered. The dodgy product was launched anyway, amidst great fanfare and media coverage… plus, get this - nobody blushed. If anything, there were animated debates about the efficacy of the cream. Women asked, "Does it really work?" Tough question. Who can certify that? Think about it - a women's face turning twenty shades lighter is visible to the world. But….her… errr….never mind!
Then came another wonderful product… this promised to bleach a women's underarms! The advertising campaign was inspired and inspiring. It encouraged women to wear sleeveless garments now that their underarms were suitably white and worthy of close scrutiny by hawk eyed mothers-in-law. The bottom line remained the same – a white and tight vagina, in addition to smooth, fair underarms were the best ways to bag a good husband. But what about the man's underarms and privates? Why not launch a bunch of products to address these key aesthetic issues that – hello! – do bother women? A lot! Or is that of zero importance in the marriage mandi? Does anybody really believe a young bride is blind? That she does not observe her brand new husband's body…. armpits and other vital organs included? Should she also not insist on a more pleasing appearance when the moment of truth finally arrives? In all 'fairness', what if she turns up her nose at assorted anatomical details of her bridegroom's jism being less than snow white? Or droopy? How can a sweet, trusting bride tell on her wedding night that she's the one – the only one – her husband has ever touched? She can't – right? And she has to lump it – whatever the shade of his skin in whichever area of his less-than- Adonis-like body. What's the bet, canny cream makers are hard at work addressing this problem? If Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapur could endorse a fairness cream for men and nobody sniggered. If Katrina Kaif can display smooth , hairless legs ( hair removing cream, along with a Fairness one) and Anushka Sharma shows off whitened arm pits … let's just say we should take Celina Jaitley's word for it that the 18 Again cream works big time. But… but…. what if it doesn't? Will crest fallen hubbies demand their money back and send the bride packing? Pay close attention, girls : the future is bright only if you are white and tight where it matters. Got it???

Sowing the seeds of smarter transport policy
Opinion by Jos Dings - T&E Director
Did we miss something? Last year, the European Commission didn't propose a single new legislative measure to clean up transport. To be fair, it has been spending most of its time worrying about the future of the Eurozone. As a result, for T&E this was the sort of year where seeds for smarter transport policy were sown. We're optimistic that next year could bring a decent crop of positive changes.

The poor girl just wanted a selfie with the maestro, and all she got was a pitying hug. But — and I say this as a former boy band fanatic — I would not completely rule out the possibility that there was some kind of ulterior motive going on here. After all, a pitying hug from Roger Federer is still a hug from Roger Federer.
Federer plays Novak Djokovic, noted winner of 41 straight matches in the 2011 season, in the French Open semifinals on Friday. Perhaps he can unnerve him with a single sweep of his hair and the old bend-and-snap during warm-ups.

If you are a fisherman who makes port somewhere along the eastern United States, you most likely have enjoyed catching and even more importantly dining on black sea bass.
Although king mackerel offer great angling opportunities for offshore fishermen, and spots are easily accessible to even the smallest boats, it is without question black sea bass is the most sought after and most economically important fish in our waters. They are fun to catch, they are plentiful, they are not too far offshore and they are most likely the best tasting fish in the ocean.

California Department of Transportation
March 24, 2011
District: 7-Los Angeles and Ventura Counties
Contact: Maria Raptis
Phone: 213-897-9372
Los Angeles – The California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $101 million in funding to 90 projects to improve transportation statewide.
"From one end of the state to the other, transportation projects are providing jobs and improving mobility for people and businesses in California," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim.
Highlights of the project allocations for District 7 include:
- $1.72 million to replace the electrical light system and restore lighting on the Antelope Valley Freeway (State Route 14) off-ramps from Golden Valley Road to Via Princessa Way in Sylmar and Santa Clarita destroyed by the 2008 Sayre Fire.
- $1.1 million to replace the joint seals of four bridge structures on the Glenn Anderson Freeway (I-105). A joint seal is the material used to fill space between concrete slabs on a bridge.
The CTC also approved the first phase of the Interstate 805 Managed Lanes North project in San Diego County as the ninth design-build project under landmark state legislation (SB X24) signed in 2009. The legislation provided for a pilot program for the design-build method of procurement, which combines both design and construction into one contract to expedite the construction process and potentially reduce project costs.
The I-805 Managed Lanes North project will be built in five phases at a cost of approximately $615 million. Caltrans anticipates the project will be completed nine months earlier using design-build. The expedited construction schedule will bring more jobs to San Diego County sooner than expected.

By OsarisDukWite is a very challenging puzzle game. You are a little green dude, and your mission is to complete all of the twelve levels in the game. To beat each level you must reach the door, but this is not as easy since the door is not always in a convenient place. There are obstacles in the way such as bricks that are non-moveable and blocks that are moveable, which you can use to your advantage. You have the ability to pick up and put down one block at a time, and then can climb up and down the blocks and bricks in order to reach the door. His movement is limited to one space at a time however, and he can only climb up and to the left or right in one diagonal space. You must use the blocks to get over columns of bricks, and to build staircases to reach other sets of blocks that will be necessary in your goal of reaching the door in each level. The levels become increasingly harder and more complex to solve, and you will need to use strategy and experimentation with your placement of the blocks in order to solve a level. This fun and entertaining game will keep you addicted and playing until you have beaten all the levels!

When was the last time a character caught a cold or flu? Real people get them every now and again even with solid heating and dry interiors. Your characters are out in the cold and wet, and even inside is not always dry and warm. Imagine having to stop your dungeon crawl, sitting in a tight defensive position, while you all are feverish.

I hopped in the car for my appointment with a psychic, but when I turned the ignition � I don't want to get too technical here � the car didn't work
So I called psychic Paula and she agreed to come to my home.
"You probably need a jump," she predicted. As it turns out, that was the only thing she got right.
As mentioned in an earlier column, I booked a session with a psychic because believers always counter my skepticism by noting that I've never been to one, and Paula came highly recommended by people who insist that she reveals things about the dearly departed no one could possibly know.
Paula requested I text her my address, and I resisted the urge to ask why she didn't know it already, because she probably gets that a lot. She showed up 15 minutes later and took a seat at my dining room table. She said she had written down some stuff on her way over; apparently she was dealing with very business-like spirits, which sounded nothing like any of my late relatives.
"I hear the name Patrick," she said. I shook my head. "How about a 'P' sound?" No.
"It could be Rick," she said. "I'm also hearing Jeffrey?" Nope. "Any 'J?' No.
"Do you have a sister?" No. "Who's David?" No one. "What about a D?"
I began to feel bad for Paula, who gamely continued to throw out letters until I finally asked why the ghosts don't stop dickering around and simply identify themselves.
"It depends on how strong they are and how hard they're trying," she said.
I said I was going to turn up the heat because I was cold. She said it was because of the spirits, but I suspected it was due to the same reason my car wouldn't start.
"Did your dad have horses?" No. "I'm getting a farm." No. "Did he go to the horse races or gamble?"
"Yes!" I said, happy for Paula. "He liked to play blackjack."
"He's trying to tell you he's here. He's showing me his passing. It was difficult. I see tubes. He may have been a smoker. He had trouble breathing at the end." Most people do and they were fine guesses, but my non-smoker dad died of a stroke.
She said that my dad was proud of me. I asked if she ever told anyone that their deceased loved one was ashamed of them, and she indicated that she liked to keep the readings positive.
"Did you have a dog that passed?"
"No. We were a cat family."
"Well, did you have a cat that looked like a dog?" Paula was certainly resourceful, but the spirits weren't cooperating.
"Is your mom passed?" No. Paula looked off into the distance, pondering.
"Do you like a lot of cheese?" she asked suddenly. "The spirits are showing me cheese. Swiss cheese, to be specific."
"I hate Swiss cheese."
"Well, you must be getting a cheese basket or something."
"Really?" I asked. "Don't these spirits have more important things to predict than the appearance of some cheese wedges in my future?"
"I don't ask them," she said. "Did you hurt your back shoveling?" No. "Did anyone?" No. "Your dad is giving me a shovel."
I'll bet he was. Paula continued to toss out lots of "visions" that had a high probability of being true. Unfortunately, my dad didn't fish, my grandmother never knit anything, I have no unresolved issues with a dead relative and Christmas isn't "very important" to my family.
"I would have liked this reading to have gone better," Paula acknowledged, when I finally ended it after more than an hour. "But if you're skeptical, that could affect it. And sometimes the spirits are confused."
Now that sounds more like my relatives. Also, if anyone out there is planning my cheese basket, please keep in mind that I'm partial to cheddar.

Thanks for this great article, as its a very interesting topic... keep writing more and more! Time management is a big issue, and one that all managers must keep working at!
Guest post at Get Rich Slowly
J.D. over at Get Rich Slowly asked me for a guest post on personal finance. What it turned out I wanted to talk about next, though, was productivity--and in particular, my evolving experience with Getting Things Done.
I spent many years working for various companies that, like most businesses, were more or less dysfunctional. They were places where priorities constantly shifted, where every day brought a new emergency, and where managers and peers might show up at any time with something urgent that needed my attention. When I became a full-time writer, I discovered that I needed different ways to manage my time than the ones that had worked when I was an employee. Interestingly, the different ways that seem to work best for me aren't new at all — they're the old classic tools of time management.

Hi again Phil. Great article. The first thing that popped in my head after reading it was how thankful I am that I have finally found a not-so-dysfunctional work place. Having worked at Motorola with you for a few years I know exactly the kind of frustration you're talking about. Although I have to admit, believe it or not, that Motorola was actually the 2nd most functional place I've worked out of 4 of the last 5 jobs.
I don't know if you're aware but since leaving Motorola I've been bouncing around quite a bit here on the east coast. I've worked for Siemens, Quest Diagnostics, United Health Group, and now Accenture. You haven't seen dysfunctional until you've taken the typical waterfall software development model that you and I were subjected to with fairly poor project management and add three levels of government auditing that these various health industry companies have to deal with.
Accenture on the other hand has been a breath of fresh air for me. It's a huge consulting firm, but I've found a small shop that has recently been acquired by them (reminding me quite a bit of when I joined Motorola) that has been doing Agile software development with Scrum for the past 3-4 years and fairly successfully.
If you or any of your readers haven't had the opportunity to work in a shop that uses Scrum for project management, software industry or not, I highly recommend it. I think of it as GTD for teams. Every day I stand up in a 15 meeting talk about what I got done the day before and what I'm going to do that day. And amazingly enough it's usually actually what I get to work on. Every month we talk about what we accomplished the month before and then what we're going to do for the next month. And the picture is usually pretty close.
All teams of this success of course depends on the quality of the people and their dedication to the process we're using, but I got to tell you, I'm happier in this job than I've ever been.

It is, indeed, too bad that there are no investigative news reporters willing to ask even the obvious questions:
1.) Why does Point Loma High School need permanent lights when temporary lights have been used for years?
2.) Where is the original environmental report that was to be released last year? Could it be that this document will never see the light of day because it talks about the real problems and it is NOT traffic and noise? Is it about residents having to babysit sick, drunk or aggressive students? Is it about riots and near-riots from adults/children watching the games? Is it about residents and/or one or two police officers left alone to deal with a situations of the school's making?
3.) Point Loma High School is not going to be commercialized when the new lights are installed? Really? Come on, Point Loma High School is commercialized now without any lights being installed. The people using the facilities on Saturdays and Sundays are not there for school-related functions, nor are they residents of the area. The site is locked down. Only someone with a key can get in.
4.) Is not Point Loma High School on the flight path for the San Diego Airport? Don't you think the glare from 90-foot lights might cause an airplane crash?
5.) Why is the school board proceeding with the light installation without FAA approval? What is the rush?
6.) Please describe how the San Diego School Board and Point Loma High School is a good neighbor. And please, no more lies (or staged photographs); the school does not even pick up trash on its property that is not fenced off. It is left to the residents to clean up the school property adjacent to their homes.
7.) Are the school board members getting bonuses for renting out the city schools? If they are not, then we should find out what the incentive really is for the school board. Why would a normal person/organization proceed with the installation of lights knowing that their actions will cause someone to get hurt or more than likely die?
Think about it, something is not right. Why is the San Diego Unified School District Board above the law? Why are they so adamant that lights must be installed at all costs at Point Loma High School?
