As the final days of campaigning wind down in Iowa, Rick Perry is betting that an Arizona politician who's currently the target of civil and criminal investigations will be one of his last hopes to win over caucus goers.The Texas governor brought Sheriff Joe Arpaio on the road in Iowa with him on Tuesday for two days of campaigning before next week's caucuses. Trailing deep in polls, Perry is hoping the Arizona sheriff's reputation for being tough on immigration and doing battle with the Obama administration will help him win over skeptical GOP voters.
The embrace of Arpaio, however, comes at an odd time. The sheriff has seen some of the most withering criticism of his career in recent weeks as news spread that his office botched the investigations of more than 400 sex crimes in their jurisdiction. Arpaio also remains the target of a criminal investigation by the FBI, examining whether he used his law enforcement powers to settle political scores. And most recently, on Dec. 15, the Justice Department accused the sheriff of running an agency that routinely violates the constitutional rights of Latinos.
Since picking up the sheriff's endorsement last month, Perry has not talked publicly about the FBI's criminal investigation or the botched sex crimes. His campaign sidestepped a question about those issues on Tuesday, instead repeating the governor's respect for the sheriff and dismay in the Justice Department's recent civil rights allegations.
"The Justice Department's action smacks of politics, as do so many of the Obama Administration's misguided actions and excuses," campaign spokesman Ray Sullivan wrote in an email to TPM. "Governor Perry knows Sheriff Arpaio as a dedicated law enforcement professional fighting to keep his neighbors safe in the wake of federal failures to secure the border and deal with border crime."
Arpaio's chief political strategist, Chad Willems, said the sheriff was glad to continue supporting Perry. He said the sheriff disagrees with part of Perry's stance on immigration, including his support of educating illegal immigrant children, but likes his message overall.
"He likes his straight talk," said Willems, who is running the sheriff's 2012 bid for a sixth term in office. "He just thinks he'd make a great president."
Arpaio's trip to Iowa also comes a week after a Latino military veteran died following an altercation with officers in one of his jails. Two law enforcement agencies are now investigating the death, which the sheriff's critics said is more proof of discrimination against Latinos.
Willems said the sheriff isn't worried problems like these would weigh on the Perry campaign. Asked whether it was appropriate for Arpaio to leave town in the midst of the investigation into the military veteran's death, Willems said the sheriff was fulfilling a commitment to the governor.
"He's a phone call away," Willems said. "I think that Arpaio's detractors are going to harp on just every little thing he ever does and they're going to want to put him under a microscope."
"That's politics," he added.
The thing that brought the most heat down on Arpaio in recent weeks was the federal civil rights investigation, which began more than three years ago under the administration of George W. Bush, the last Texas governor to become president. The Justice Department gave Arpaio a Jan. 4 deadline to agree to make specific changes to his agency or else he'll be slapped with a lawsuit and possible federal takeover of his office.
Simmering below the surface of all this is the ongoing criminal investigation by the FBI, which became public in January 2010 after Maricopa County officials said they had testified before a federal grand jury in Phoenix.
The focus of the grand jury's questions, those officials said at the time, were the allegations that the sheriff was abusing his power. At one point, the sheriff said he was investigating at least 14 officials in county government, many of whom had criticized him publicly or made decisions with which he disagreed. Despite that, the grand jury has not yet returned any charges against him.

Sleeping Dragon
I took a trip to North Wales within the Snowdonia National Park, a place I have been meaning to visit in a while, but never managed to go. Originally I wen to shoot Llyn Idwal, but conditions were not ideal.
Upon looking across to Pen yr Ole Wen I noticed the weather moving in so decided to shoot this magnificent mountain .
I have not done a black and white image for a while, and this seems to fit nicely to the mood of the mountain as it's peak became quickly shrouded in the morning hill fog.
Ogwen Valley
You have moments being a landscape photographer when conditions are just right and you happen to be in the right place at the right time and when the sun comes up to reveal the landscape, you are left in awe.
This was definitely one of those times.
I may be biased towards this as being a Welshman, Wales will always hold a special place in my heart. I have a deep rooted connection with it and I will regard it as being one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
Visiting the Ogwen Valley in the Snowdonia National Park recently has only bolstered this belief.
If the amount of hikers and ramblers who were visiting the valley that day is
anything to go by, I'm not the only one who shares that view.
A Dash of Light
The light that dappled across the Ogwen Valley the morning that I visited was truly spectacular.
The previous evening had seen moderate rainfall and the residual cloud cover and hill fog played beautifully with the early morning light.
Looking across to Tryfan from Llyn Idwal I noticed that the sunrise starting to highlight the crags in the rock as well as the low cloud coming over the mountain giving a sense of balance to the scene.
First Light
The final moments of the "Blue Hour" over Ogewn Valley as the sun begins to rise behind the mountains.
Sgwd yr Eira
I went back to one of my favourite walks in the Brecon Beacons on the weekend which is Ystradfellte.
This time to photograph the awesome Sgwd yr Eira, ( Translated Fall of Snow).
This is the most popular waterfall of the four at Ystradfellte due to the public footpath that leads behind the fall which allows hikers to walk freely and to the other side of the river.
As Wales had seen some heavy rain recently the river was in full flow and because of the spray I couldn't position my camera anywhere near the fall to get the shot I had originally planned.
As I set up my position , the morning light crept over the hillside and started to spill down the bank and onto the river. Unfortunately it was short lived as the rains returned and I had to retreat back to the the warmth of my car.
Being a Welshman now living in Wiltshire, I will always love taking trips back to Wales and exploring the country, especially around Brecon Beacons National Park.
It's an incredibly beautiful part of Wales and not only takes on a different appearance throughout the year, but also from one minute to the next.
This was shot about 3 hours after the previous picture that I posted of LLyn Y Fan Fach.
It was completely transformed from the serene and calm lake with crystal clear still waters that I had just walked away from, to the image you see now.
Even with the cloud coming in shrouding the top of the mountain and the wind whipping across the lake, it changed the mood of the area but still remains stunning to look at.
Nant Bwrefwr
Brecon Beacons National Park
While driving around Brecon waiting for a break in the weather, I stumbled across this little gem.
Fall Of The Fuller
My good buddy Craig McCormick paid a visit recently to catch up and photograph some of the landscapes around the South West.
The first day of his visit pretty much fell flat, so I decided to show him one of my favourite spots back in my homeland in Wales.
Ystradfellte really is a gorgeous place, with long walks through forests which lead you to some of the most beautiful waterfalls found in the UK.
Heavy rains has caused the rivers and waterfalls to swell, and the noise from the rushing water was almost deafening.
The rain eventually sent us home early, but not before taking this shot of Sgwd y Pannwr.
This part of Wales will always hold a special place in my heart for being one of my favourite places, and I hope this picture shows why.
Sgwd Isaf Clun-Gwyn
Part of one of the most celebrated waterfall walks in Wales, Sgwd Isaf Clun-gwyn is a series of waterfalls in one place.
I took this earlier in the year, and after having a series of waterfall shots decided not to post anymore. I completely I still had this shot, and came across it while doing some spring cleaning in my pc.
It's another part of the stunning scenes in the Brecon Beacons National Park, which I can highly recommend to anyone to go and a visit.
Southerndown Beach, Wales
Time To Reflect
A folklore legend is connected with the lake. In the folk tale, a local young man, son of a widow from Blaen Sawdde (near Llanddeusant) agreed to marry a beautiful girl who arose from the lake, on the condition that he would not hit her three times. He complied easily because the girl was so beautiful, and they were happy for years putting up a house in Esgair Llaethdy near Myddfai, and bringing up a family there. The girl had very special cattle, traditionally still kept at Dinefwr, Llandeilo, and other animals. But over time the man did hit his wife three times often as gentle admonishments. Reasons for why he hits her vary, from the wife laughing at a funeral or crying at a wedding. Regardless, she had to go back to the lake according to the promise, taking the cattle with her.
Sgwd Clun-gwyn
I've been long overdue a day out with my camera, so I decided to head back to my homeland and discover a bit of magic located in the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park.
Found near Ystradfellte (Welsh: valley floor of the Mellte) which is a small village in southern Powys, Wales, in the Fforest Fawr area of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Sgwd Clun-gwyn is one of four main waterfalls and all are absolutely breathtaking.
The main path to the waterfall leads to the top of the waterfall, so rather than leave with a regular tourist shot, I scrambled down a steep rocky incline to get to the base of the falls and boy it was worth it.
To start the light was flat and dull, but as I set up my position the sun decided to play nice and came out for 10 minutes. The resulting light was superb as sunlight punched through the trees, highlighting the foliage on the rock face.
No Fishing
Penarth Pier, South Wales
Onward And Upward
Corn Du, Brecon Beacons National Park
Uneasy Horizon
I'm always drawn toward the ocean and a 10 minute drive away from my home town of Bridgend will lead you to Ogmore by Sea.
Not the prettiest sounding destination, but with it's long stretching sandy and rocky beaches, it's a beautiful place to take a stroll on a warm evening and watch the sun go down.

Apple's newest operating system for its mobile devices, iOS 7, is out today. Overeager Apple nuts will likely upgrade right away, but I'm holding off for a bit.
First of all, I haven't backed up my phone recently. Before you update, please be sure you do this. Apple's update process has become pretty foolproof, but never doubt mankind's ability to break stuff - backing up your phone takes five minutes and will save you a world of hurt if something goes wrong.
Secondly, not all apps are optimized yet to fit in with the look and feel of iOS 7. There are design and interface elements that can come together to make an app feel like it's a native part of the phone, built-in and supposed to be there. But implementing the changes that iOS 7 calls for obviously takes time. And there hasn't been enough of it yet.
Finally, there will very likely be another update in a couple weeks that will iron out any wrinkles that went unnoticed in Cupertino the first time around. I'd simply prefer to go straight to this updated update.
One other reason to skip the upgrade for a little bit is that your device might not run iOS 7 very well (if at all). Anything before an iPhone 4 and you're simply ineligible for the update. iPhone 4 owners may want to skip the upgrade altogether, as the phone's hardware is a little aged at this point.

Android applications on UNR Jaunty - Part Deux
(didn't realize pgo cuts videos, click here to see it)
The applications are very responsive thanks to the accelerated Android drawing engine (and that means they aren't a burden on the CPU either).
The video shows the Android browser working like normal, which points to the next challenge in getting everything working great: piping the services and the filesystem on the host computer through to the Android runtime so apps can take advantage (and be more useful :).
If you have any questions or just want to bug Mike about getting his packaging finished, you can leave a comment on his blog post.
Update: Added link to video

This looks pretty cool. Seems like it could provide a faster development process compared to booting up a virtual device from Eclipse. Eclipse integration would actually be pretty sweet!
- 3 June 2009 at 22:26
looks like android (with apps) running on jaunty... not "running android apps on jaunty"
don't get the difference ?
like wine versus vm with ms-windows
not (yet) really exciting...

It must be Karmic. UNR and Compiz seem to be playing nice together again. Just installed and all is fine again.

123: Centrifugal Force
|Centrifugal Force
Title text: You spin me right round baby, right round, in a manner depriving me of an inertial reference frame. Baby.
In this comic, Black Hat has strapped James Bond to a centrifuge and claims the centrifugal force will be lethal. Bond objects that there is no such thing, but just centripetal force.
Issac Newton was the first to announce that any body will be in a stable state of motion iff (if and only if) no force is applied. No motion at all is a stable state, as is constant translation. Imagine yourself on a bicycle: if you are going fast and do not brake, only the friction of the air, tires and internals of the bike will slow you down if you are not going uphill.
Now ride your bike on a circular track, at considerable speed. You will feel the "centrifugal" force, which is actually a centripetal force that you are applying to leave your straight course. That is what moving along an orbit really is: constantly changing the direction of movement, which needs a constant force.
Black Hat argues that within a spinning inertial system, "centrifugal" force is real. Here is why: to transform equations to a subsystem, everything inherent to the system as a whole must be subtracted, including the centripetal forces, which leaves a centrifugal force on the other side of the equation. Wikipedia hints that while the centripetal force is universal, the centrifugal force is bound to the specific inertial system.
- [James Bond is strapped to a giant wheel suspended from the ceiling. Black hat is standing next to two levers.]
- Black hat: How do you like my centrifuge, mister Bond? When I throw this lever, you will feel centrifugal force crush every bone in your body.
- [Same scene, but a closer shot.]
- Bond: You mean centripetal force. There's no such thing as centrifugal force.
- Black hat: A laughable claim, mister Bond, perpetuated by overzealous teachers of science. Simply construct Newton's laws in a rotating system and you will see a centrifugal force term appear as plain as day.
- [Closer shot, only Bond's head is visible.]
- Bond: Come now, do you really expect me to do coordinate substitution in my head while strapped to a centrifuge?
- Black hat: No, mister Bond. I expect you to die.
Are you allowed to describe a force acting upon you when you are in an accelerating reference frame? I'm pretty sure you're not. The explanation says that from bond's point of view, he is at rest. Well, sort of. If you're in an accelerating car you can tell that you're not at rest because your inertia seems to be "pulling" you backwards. There's nothing actually pulling you, though. 220.127.116.11 05:24, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- According to general relativity, that inertial "pull" is indistinguishable from being at rest with a force being applied. In the rotating frame, this apparent force is the centrifugal force. 18.104.22.168 05:58, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- the explanation is correct, and you can describe forces acting on you in non-inertial frames. If you take Bond to be the origin of a rotating frame of reference then the position of Bond will be (0,0,0) at all times. So in that frame of reference, Bond is at rest (not "sort of at rest, really at rest). The equation of motion for Bond is
F + Fe + Fw + Fc = ma = 0
- (F is external force, Fe is the force due to angular acceleration of the frame (relative to some inertial frame), Fw is centrifugal force and Fc is coriolis force )
- Since the sum of the three "fictious" force are nonzero, and Bond is at rest in this frame, the force F must also be non-zero. This force F is the inward push of the centrifuge. In the moving car example, you can't tell if you are accelerating or if there is a massive graviational field pulling you backwards. From your perspective the experience is identical. If you take this idea and run with it you get general relavitity184.108.40.206 11:30, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- I believe the OP is referencing the vestibular system. This is what allows humans to feel acceleration. The actual physics at hand is regarding reference frames, not the ability of the body to detect acceleration. In regards to the question of "Are you allowed to describe a force acting upon you when you are in an accelerating reference frame?", the answer is yes. You can pick whichever reference frame you wish, but we tend to pick the one that simplifies the calculations the most.Flewk (talk) 06:44, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
"Apparent force" is the best term to use to describe centrifugal force, and could be inserted in the text to clarify. 22.214.171.124 21:14, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- "The surface of the Earth approximates an inertial frame."
This isn't correct at all. If you're standing on Earth, you're experiencing an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2. 184.108.40.206 00:56, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, that is incorrect. Right now i'm in my desk chair, not accelerating. The force of gravity is cancelled out by the force my chair exerts on me to maintain this status quo. You're correct that it's not an inertial frame, but that is because the force of gravity, not some acceleration 22.214.171.124 12

Silvana Andreescu Promoted to Full Professor at Clarkson University
Clarkson University President Tony Collins has announced that Silvana Andreescu has been promoted from associate professor to full professor of chemistry & biomolecular science in the School of Arts & Sciences. Promotion to professor is considered to be virtually the highest honor that a university can bestow upon its faculty.
Andreescu has been a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science at Clarkson since 2005. Her technical expertise is focused on analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, with special emphasis on biosensing technology for clinical and environmental monitoring.
Her research projects include investigations of basic biochemical mechanisms at biointerfaces, bioimmobilization, biomimetic materials and biosensors.
Many of the sensors developed in her laboratory are used to understand fundamental molecular mechanisms in biological systems, to determine clinically important analytes associated with medical conditions and to address environmental challenges.
Her recent research focuses on the development of portable nanoparticle-based technologies for point-of-care diagnosis and therapy.
Andreescu received her master of science degree in biosensors from the University of Bucharest, Romania, and a joint Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Perpignan, France, and the University of Bucharest. She was also an NSF-NATO postdoctoral fellow in analytical chemistry at SUNY Binghamton from 2003 to 2005.
Andreescu is the recipient of a French government graduate fellowship, the NSF-CAREER award, and Clarkson University's John W. Graham Research Award, and is a member of the Million Dollar Club at Clarkson.
She has published more than 60 peer-reviewed journal articles and 13 book and encyclopedia chapters, has co-edited two books for McGraw Hill and Oxford University Press, and has delivered some 100 presentations at professional and academic conferences throughout the world.
She has mentored nine graduate students, three postdoctoral associates and more than 45 undergraduate students in research projects at Clarkson. She has provided international research opportunities in Europe to seven Clarkson undergraduate students through NSF-sponsored research and has co-directed the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in environmental science and engineering at Clarkson.
Andreescu has received external research funding totaling more than $2 million from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, United States Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Army.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Short guide to our website
On the top left side there is a search box, this box (unfortunately) just searches the posts that we have on here and not the rest of the site. But if you want to use it go ahead, better an option than not one.
Under the search box there are some subscription links. These links let you see the changes made to the site with you RSS Readers and a few popular ones are on there. You can also subscribe to the comments if you really want to. If your reader is not on the list you can copy down the hyperlink or use the atom feed and add it to your own reader.
Under this there are some links containing our menu as well as a page only showing our wine menu. There is another page with the calendar for the month as well as the map gadget on there. These were put on separate pages as well as the main page so that you will have an easy time printing them. Making it much easier than copying and pasting to word or whatever you would have done without the links
The about our restaurant post is self-explanatory. Under that is a poll, I'll try to update it whenever it expires, but put in your feedback; we want to see what you think of us!
Going down the page a little more is a Google Calendar embedded in our site. This is a cool little gadget that will show when we are open and when we are closed. You can also view this in a week view as well as an agenda view. You can add this entire calendar (yes add the entire thing) to your own Google Calendar (it will show up as a separate calendar from your personal Google Calendar) by clicking the +Google Calendar picture on the bottom right.
Under the wine menu we have a neat little map to us gadget. This gadget lets you find us very easily. It has a to and from link on the bubble coming from our location. Put in your address and click go! This will take you from our page to Google Maps where it will give you a direct path to our restaurant which you can customize with Google Maps if say you want to go along a certain road and still go to our restaurant. Or, if you know where we are and want to go somewhere after eating there is a from our Restaurant which will lead you to your next location.
At the very bottom (just to mention it) I just added which credit cards we accept. I will list them off: Diners Club International, Carte Blanche, Visa, MasterCard, American Express cards, and Discover Novus. Pictures of the cards are near the bottom.
Thank you all for visiting our site and we hope you find what you want to eat here. :)

Under the heading: Appetizers; which do you prefer?
I think the first option is supposed to be "cream of crab" not what it currently says...
Your lump crab cakes are the most excellent, delicious, food item in the world!
- December 30, 2009 at 11:08 AM
Uh...yeah. That's kind of embarrassing. Should be fixed now
I'm glad you like the Crab Cakes :)

Our district welcomes children from all over the world. Our goal is to encourage English language learning and enhance each child's acculturation into the American education system. We have several options available for English language learners.
Elementary ESL Services
When a student qualifies for ESL services in elementary, there are a few different ways that services are given:
Direct Services:
- Inclusion: The ESL staff member accompanies the child to class to provide services
- Pull-Out: The ESL staff member pulls the student out of class to the ESL class to provide intensive English instruction
- Content with ESL Endorsed Teacher: The student that needs services stays with a teacher that is ESL endorsed, and the student receives the mainstream content with modifications and strategies for ESL
Students can also transition to the mainstream classroom once their English acquisition develops. Once a student exits, the student is still monitored for two years to ensure that the student has the necessary language development to gain success in their academic career.
Language Academy
The Language Academy is a program where secondary students who need ESL services can thrive in content curriculum while engaging with ESL endorsed teachers. The Language Academy exists in RHS, RJHS, and RMS. The Language Academy is divided into two different academies:
- Language Academy I: An ALE Newcomer Program for 9-12th graders who speak little to no English
- Language Academy II: A sheltered class program for secondary ESL students to gain ESL services while in their content classes
Interpretation/Translation Services
The Russellville School District offers translations and interpretations for staff to communicate with parents. Also, our district's Spanish language interpreter and community liaison offers outreach meetings called Cafecitos for parents to learn more about their student's education in the district.
English Language Learners (ELL) FAQs
How are students identified for ELL services?
All families fill out the Home Language Survey when they enroll their children. This asks what language the student first learned. If it is not English, or if there is information that indicates another language, the staff assesses the student's English skills. Based on the results, the student may qualify for ELL services.
How long do students stay in ELL services?
Students that qualify for ELL services take an annual assessment of their English skills. This test is called ELPA 21. It is an online test. They continue to qualify for ELL services until they reach a high level of English proficiency and meet additional state criteria. The length of time to gain proficiency is unique to each child.
Are all ELL-qualified students in an ELL classroom?
Every student that qualifies for ELL will receive services for ESL. Some may be in specific classes, through Language Academy or with ESL endorsed teachers, but some will be pulled for services. If a student has a high enough English acquisition, they will be monitored in mainstream classes.
Does a child have to speak Spanish to be in ESL?
No, the student may have a different native language such as Arabic or Vietnamese. Also, the student may speak English fluently and still need support in reading, writing, or listening. Just because a student no longer speaks their first language does not mean they are experiencing the same level of fluency in reading or writing.

I called the Swine Flu hotline today but I couldn't get through... all I got was crackling.
How do you know if you have Swine Flu? You keep getting these rashers.
Doctor, Doctor. I think I have Swine Flu! Don't worry, just rub in this oinkment.
Doctor, Doctor. I've just eaten a bacon sandwich, am I going to die? Depends if the bacon was cured or not.
Doctor, Doctor. My daughter woke up this morning in pigtails. Should I be worried?
The British Government issued warnings of the importance of hand washing, cleaning and general hygiene. Special web sites have been set up to explain to the English what soap, water, washing, cleaning and hygiene are.

Will the Apogee jam work with iphone 5 and a 30 pin dock convertor ?
I know that the new iphone 5 comes with a much smaller "Lightning" connector. I am wondering if I can upgrade from iphone 4 (where the apogee jam works flawlessly) to iphone 5, get a 30 pin dock connector and be able to use garageband as before.
- Asked by fn from Cary
Apogee JAM Guitar Input
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes - this works- I have the adapter and it works just fine. There seems to be a bit of a bug in that you should plug in the output into the audio jack first then plug in the adapter then plug in the Jam.
That should get you going in any app.
Other thing is that I got the extended adapter and I can see that if you only got the smaller non-extended adapter then you may ruin access to the headphone jack.
Not sure about that.

Hi folks, today we are going to learn how to make singed flower hair clips or headbands. I didn't invent these, I have been seeing them around blog land lately, but I will show you what I know, and add in some tulle (which I haven't seen yet...)
Supplies needed:
Synthetic silk fabric (don't get the real thing, I tried, doesn't work) anything synthetic is fine.
headband, or hair clampy clip thingy.
Now if you have any miniature humans around you begging for food, you may have to make a grilled cheese in the middle... You can see I started to hot glue my layers.
Just put a blob of hot gule in the center, add a layer, etc. Then at the top, do a big blog and add 3 beeds. Some folks are more of perfectionists than I am, in that case, you can do this with a needle and thread.
Ta Da! You are done!

Since launching Symplesound, my focus has been to create intuitive instruments and presets that make it easy for producers to create their own sounds – without having to be an expert at synthesizers.
Because of that, I decided to redesign all of the instruments on this blog and collect them into one pack, making everything much easier to use. The pack also includes tutorials, integrated effects and MIDI clips for inspiration.
They're still 100% free – because I want to continue supporting synth fans everywhere – and they're now available at the Symplesound shop, along with more free downloads and goodies.
Hope you enjoy these updates! Download them here.

Free Webinar begins at 1:00 pm Pacific Time on October 19.
It's all about your love life
How did the planet of accidents, violence and murder become associated with passion? Does Mars show chemistry or strife or both? In this webinar you will learn the history of Mars in relationship astrology both East and West, and why Indian (Vedic) astrology developed sophisticated methods of remediating what it perceives as Mars' corrosive influence. You will be taught practical Indian astrology relationship principles involving Mars and how to apply them to Western Charts. You will learn how to do this easily, without having to study Vedic Astrology. You'll learn how to assess Mars' critical impact to help your clients and yourself steer clear of the obstacles that can confront any relationship. By the end of the webinar you will be able to apply these techniques & remediations to any western chart. This webinar is some of the fruit from the years of research that went into Kenneth's MA thesis.
In addition to receiving an MA from Kepler College, Kenneth Miller has received the American College of Vedic Aastrology's Level II and the Council of Vedic Astrology's certificate of Jyotish Kovid , Kenneth has also studied in India where he earned the title of Fellow of the Institute of Vedic Astrology (FIVA) and was awarded the title Jyotish Medha Shri. He is a lifetime member of the Council of Vedic Astrology, Kenneth has also studied Modern western astrology with Helena Elizabeth Ruhnau, Hellenistic astrology with Demetra George and Robert Schmidt, Medieval astrology with Robert Zoller, and Renaissance astrology with Lee Lehman. He is one of the few professional astrologers with a working knowledge of all of these traditions.

Kabocha & Baby Bok Choy Halloween Pizza
This year for Halloween, I decided to use Japanese pumpkin or Kabocha squash for a dish. This strange pizza combo of roasted Kabocha, baby Bok Choy and a little creamy Havarti turned out to be delicious! A nice change from pumpkin soup and everyone liked it.
Here's the weird recipe:
8 oz pizza dough
1/4 Kabocha, sliced into thin wedges
toasted sesame oil
brown rice vinegar
2 baby Bok Choy
1/2 garlic clove
sesame oil
soy sauce
Havarti cheese
sesame seeds
Preheat oven with pizza stone to 425 F degrees. Place sliced Kabocha onto a foil lined baking sheet. Combine the toasted sesame oil and brown rice vinegar and brush the Kabocha slices. Add salt and place in oven. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn slices, brush again, and cook an additional 5-10 minutes.
Cut the end of the baby Bok Choy and saute with minced garlic and sesame oil. Add a little soy sauce and remove from heat as soon as the leaves begin to wither.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured board. Grate a little Havarti cheese onto the crust and place the thin roasted slices of Kabocha on the pizza. Add the sauted Bok Choy and top with a little more grated Havarti. Brush the edges with toasted sesame oil and top with sesame seeds. Sprinkle the pizza with sesame seeds. Bake for about 12 minutes until crust is firm.
p.s. Next time, I might add an egg on top of this pizza.

Eye and Ear physicians encourage you not to give in to the temptation to put on your own show. Fireworks can cause serious injuries, including burns, lacerations, eye injuries, vision loss, dismemberment and even death. According to a study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there were eight deaths related to fireworks accidents in the United States in 2013, adding to the 86 fireworks-related deaths recorded since 2000. Illegal and homemade fireworks were involved in all eight deaths. In addition, approximately 11,400 people sustained injuries related to fireworks in 2013; 65 percent of these injuries occurred in the 30 days around July 4, 2013 (June 21-July 21). The parts of the body most often injured were hands and fingers (approximately 36%); head, face, and ears (22%); eyes (16%); and legs (14%). More than half (62%) of the emergency department-treated injuries were burns, which were the most common injury to all parts of the body, except the eyes, where contusions, lacerations, and foreign bodies in the eyes occurred more frequently. Innocent-looking sparklers caused the most damage, accounting for an estimated 2,300 emergency department-treated injuries. More than 800 visits were caused by firecrackers, while 300 were due to bottle rockets. Sadly, children and young adults were the most frequently affected by fireworks accidents that required emergency room treatment, with children younger than 15 years old accounting for approximately 40% of the estimated injuries in 2012, and individuals younger than 25 years of age comprise 59% of the injured. Physicians at Mass. Eye and Ear urge you to recognize that the safest way to enjoy fireworks is to leave it to the professionals. Take advantage of any professional – and often free – fireworks displays that are available this Independence Day. Even during a professional display, never handle any fireworks that might remain. If previously ignited, these can discharge and cause injuries. Children should be told not to pick up fireworks if they find them, and to tell an adult immediately. If an eye injury does occur: Do not try to remove any protruding objects from the eye. Flush the eye with water to remove any particles that are present. Cover the eye loosely for comfort and seek immediate medical attention. Mass. Eye and Ear's Emergency Department and Eye Trauma Service provide specialized care to patients who have suffered severe and extensive eye injuries. The Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For more information, contact the Emergency Department and Eye Trauma Service at 617-573-3431. Mass. Eye and Ear wishes you a fun-filled and safe holiday, but please leave fireworks displays to the professionals! Mass.

'Grey' Has Erica Jong Seeing Red
Erica Jong was angry at times on Saturday night when she spoke at BookHampton's East Hampton store.
An appreciative capacity crowd of some 75 to 100 people — predominantly women, most over a certain age, and a few with husbands or daughters in tow — filled seats, jammed aisles, and trailed out the door. Ms. Jong was there to lambaste the bestselling book "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James and point out that its popularity comes at a time when women's rights are under attack by conservative politicians in several states and on a federal level. "Thirteen states have laws that challenge things we thought were settled. Things we thought we had won." She was referring to new limits on abortion and to ultrasounds through vaginal probes prior to abortions now required in Virginia.
At the same time, with a crowd of her peers in attendance, she addressed the positive changes that have happened since her book "Fear of Flying" was published in 1973. Changes in race relations and a younger generation that sees nothing remarkable about gay marriage were hopeful signs, despite efforts to turn back the clock on such attitudes in some quarters.
Ms. Jong's book, which caused a sensation in the United States when it was published, was written all through her 20s. "I wrote it for a long time. I had to get the voice right." She said her goal was to have a heroine who was "very smart, very sexual, and attracted to men." She wanted someone who had a professional and intellectual life as passionate as her domestic and intimate life.
It has since been anointed as a classic by institutions such as Columbia University, she said. It has also given her cachet as the person to go to for reactions on the sexual zeitgeist.
Her feelings about "Fifty Shades of Grey," which features erotic scenes of bondage, dominance, and submissiveness, are that "it's a reactionary fantasy for a reactionary time."
Her own description of the book was ripe with disdain. Anastasia Steele meets "a master of the universe in true 1980s style, Christian Grey. He says 'Don't get involved with me, I will hurt you. I'm a bad guy.' . . . After five very boring chapters in which nothing interesting happens, he takes her to the Red Room, where she's bound and gagged and he dominates her."
It is not just the fantasy that she finds questionable, it is also the writing, which she described as execrable, "which doesn't matter. As Ezra Pound said, the reader of best sellers can't be distracted by nice writing, and that seems to be true." She pointed to passages where, during the loss of her virginity, the heroine says "argh" and during orgasm "holy cow."
She attributed much of the buzz in the press about the book to its $5 million movie deal. But she said that it was likely that a movie of that book will never be made. "It's not going to sell to 12-year-old boys in Asia," which she said is the primary Hollywood movie market at present.
"Unfortunately, the people reading this book don't know we have a rich tradition of erotica by women," she added, mentioning "The Story of O" by Anne Desclos under the pen name Pauline Réage and "Little Birds" by Anais Nin as examples. "Your fantasies don't have to be politically correct. I don't negate the fantasies" of Ms. James's book, "but I wish they were better, better executed, and not so diminishing to women. It seems to fit together with the reactionary war on women going on."
A woman in the audience who described herself as a psychoanalyst and educator praised the book for providing an outlet for young women to talk about their sexuality more openly. She said that the heroine in "Grey" doesn't end up as his object and, while not great literature, it did increase people's willingness to talk about sexuality in different arenas.
Ms. Jong accepted the viewpoint and conceded that "not every book has to be a classic or a great book. We don't give ourselves enough pleasure in this country. We have the shortest vacations in the world, we're always on diets, and we don't read enough that gives us pleasure."

Adopting and Demonstrating the Adaptation of Prevention Techniques (ADAPT), Harlem United Community AIDS Center

|Behavioral: Healthy Relationships
|Not Applicable
The Adopting and Demonstrating the Adaptation of Prevention Techniques project (referred to as ADAPTATION throughout this protocol) responds to concerns from the field that existing interventions do not address the HIV prevention needs of diverse and often unstudied populations. This project will pilot test a step-by-step guide for community-based organizations to engage in evidence-based adaptation of interventions previously shown to be effective in research settings for use in real world applications. The main purpose of this program is to improve understanding of the processes needed for adapting evidence-based behavioral interventions to fit new conditions or populations and to pilot CDC-developed draft guidance for adaptation. The second purpose of the program is to increase the number of effective behavioral HIV prevention interventions for 18-24 year old sero-positive men of color who have sex with other men (MSM of color).
Harlem United Community AIDS Center is one of five sites originally funded through Program Announcement 04064 and selected to receive a supplement to conduct adaptation activities. Under Program Announcement 04064, Harlem United, a community-based organization with over 16 years of experience providing quality HIV services to the Harlem and South Bronx communities, was funded to implement a multi-faceted, HIV prevention program. The program combines rapid testing, access to care, and an evidenced-based, group-level behavioral intervention (i.e., Healthy Relationships) for sero-positive, heterosexual men and women of color. Healthy Relationships is a five-session, small group-level intervention for persons living with HIV/AIDS that promotes the development of decision-making and problem-solving skills that enable participants to make informed and safe decisions about disclosure and behaviors. Preliminary evaluation efforts suggest that this service model is effective in reducing risk behaviors among the general population, but its appropriateness and effectiveness for specific sub-populations has yet to be fully demonstrated. The original research for Healthy Relationships was conducted in Atlanta, Georgia. Approximately half of the participants identified as gay and the study population had a mean age of 40 years. Harlem United will adapt the Healthy Relationships intervention for young sero-positive MSM of color between the ages of 18-24 who reside in Harlem, New York. Further adaptation also may include adding decision-making for disclosure with needle sharing partners.
The goal of Harlem United's ADAPTATION project is to evaluate efforts to adapt and implement the Healthy Relationships intervention for young sero-positive MSM of color by: 1) documenting the resources and activities required to adapt and implement the Healthy Relationships intervention model for young sero-positive MSM of color; 2) optimizing service delivery; 3) measuring the effectiveness of the newly-adapted intervention; and 4) assessing CDC's guidance for adapting effective behavioral interventions for new populations.

- Behavioral: Healthy Relationships
"Healthy Relationships," grounded in the social cognitive theory, is a five-session, group-level intervention originally designed for HIV-positive heterosexual individuals seeking skills-building and support around risk reduction, as well as disclosure of status and sexual preference. Through clip media and active role-plays, the intervention promotes the development of decision-making and problem-solving tools, empowering participants to make voluntary and informed decisions around disclosure and safer sex practices. This model was formally disseminated to AIDS Service Organizations as part of CDC's strategic plan - Advancing HIV Prevention, New Strategies for a Changing Epidemic - which focused on innovative strategies to recruit individuals into HIV testing, as well as a movement towards secondary prevention efforts.

Product Description
Batteries included for immediate fun!
Leave your hands free for other things with these extra-comfortable vibrating nipple clamps.
• Adjustable tension sliders adjust pressure to fit your comfort levels
• Specially contoured clamps for a better fit
• Spring loaded to keep clamps securely in place
• Single speed mini vibrator for hands-free nipple stimulation
• Waterproof for fun in the shower
• Measures 1 inch wide and 2.5 inches long
• Made from light-weight plastic with a soft coating for added comfort
• Each nipple clamp uses 2 GPA76 watch batteries, 4 are included
Specially designed with your comfort in mind, these vibrating nipple clamps feature several improvements compared to older models. First, an adjustable tension bar lets you increase or decrease the pressure on your nipples to fit your comfort and experience level. Second, the clamps are curved on the inside instead of being straight. This curve lets the clamps fit snugly around your nipple for a much more comfortable fit. And the nipple clamps are spring loaded to keep them securely in place no matter how much you move or wiggle during sex.
Each nipple clamp is packed with a single-speed mini vibrator. The vibrator produces a constant pulse for hands-free nipple stimulation that keeps them rock hard during sex. If your nipples are sensitive enough, the constant stimulation might even make you orgasm!
The nipple clamp vibrators are protected by a water-tight O ring so you can safely enjoy them in the shower or hot tub. The waterproof seal also makes cleaning easier since you don't have to worry about keeping them dry.
Each nipple clamp measures 1 inch wide and 2.5 inches long. The clamps are made from plastic with a special soft coating that makes them feel smoother and more comfortable. The light-weight plastic means you can barely feel each clamp tugging your nipples. Each nipple clamps uses 2 GPA76 watch batteries, with 4 included.
Adam & Eve recommends the Fetish Fantasy Wireless Vibrating Nipple Clamps for nipple stimulation.
The vibrating nipple clamps are compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based and silicone-based sex lubes. After use, carefully wash the nipple clamps in warm, soapy water and rinse them clean. Let the clamps dry before storing them with the rest of your sex toy collection in a secure location.

Stone Appendix – GCR8N3 – GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – July 23, 2012
Stone Appendix (GCR8N3) takes geocachers on an adventure inside a deep, dark, rocky cave in the outskirts of Turku, Finland. The difficulty 3.5, terrain 4 cache tests geocachers' bravery and challenges them physically.
Tuskaretket ry placed this regular-sized traditional cache in November of 2005, inviting fellow geocachers to leave their suits at home and check out the cache that's guaranteed to get them dirty.
Over 335 geocachers have dared to step into the cave and crawl in the dust to log this cache. Many of them managed to take fantastic photos inside the dark, hollow cave.
Tuskaretket ry explains on the cache page that, "to find the cache you have to forget the claustrophobia and dare to step deep into darkness." While a flashlight is required, the cache page recommends bringing "a helmet and a partner" on this journey.
Stone Appendix has earned 77 Favorite Points so far. One cacher who dared to crawl in to get to this cache writes, "The idea of exploring the essence of a deeper cave had been running in my mind for a long time. I decided to step into the dark and the unknown, while in the company of a friend. Claustrophobia struck mid-stream. Fortunately, the fear was in vain. It was not at all difficult and overwhelming in the cave. It was surprisingly spacious. Have fun!"
If you plan on attending the Geocaching in Turku Mega-Event the weekend of August 3 and are up for the challenge, be sure to check out this Geocache of the Week!
Continue to explore some of the most engaging geocaches around the globe. Check out all the Geocaches of the Week on the Latitude 47 blog or view the Bookmark List on Geocaching.com.

Man Arrested In Paula Deen Extortion Scheme
From BlackVoices
Authorities on Friday arrested a New York man charged with trying to extort money from embattled celebrity cook Paula Deen in exchange for not going to the news media with "true and damning statements" he said she made.
FBI agents and local sheriff's deputies arrested Thomas George Paculis, 62, of Newfield, N.Y., Friday morning. A criminal complaint filed Wednesday in federal court in Savannah, Ga., charges him with extortion.
The complaint says Paculis was threatening to go to the media with statements made by Deen unless the former Food Network star gave him $250,000. The complaint does not specify what was in the statements Paculis claimed were made by Deen.
Paculis did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Friday. A call to a phone number for Paculis found in the criminal complaint rang unanswered. He had his initial court appearance Friday in New York and was released on bond, said FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett in Atlanta. He has been ordered to appear in federal court in Savannah on July 16.
Deen's business deals began falling apart last month after statements she made when she was questioned under oath in May became public. The questioning was part of a civil lawsuit filed last year by Lisa Jackson, a former manager of Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House, which Deen co-owns with her brother, Bubba Hiers. Jackson says she was sexually harassed and worked in an environment rife with racial slurs and innuendo.
Asked in her deposition if she had ever used the N-word, Deen replied: "Yes, of course." But she also insisted "it's been a very long time."
Paculis wrote an email to Deen's lawyer, Greg Hodges, on June 24, several days after Deen's statements became public, the complaint says. The text of the email is transcribed in the complaint: "I am about to go public with statements refuting your clients statements about using the `N' word in her business practices at Lady and Son's… The statements are true and damning enough that the case for Jackson will be won on it's merit alone…"
Paculis went on to say "there is a price for such information…" and urges Hodges to contact him by email, the complaint says.

Basic Facts About Snow Leopards
The snow leopard, known for its beautiful, thick fur, has a white, yellowish or soft gray coat with ringed spots of black on brown. The markings help camouflage it from prey. With their thick coats, heavy fur-lined tails and paws covered with fur, snow leopards are perfectly adapted to the cold and dry habitats in which they live.
Snow leopards primarily hunt wild sheep and goats. Snow leopards are also known to eat smaller animals like rodents, hares and game birds.
Did You Know?
Snow leopards have very large paws that act as snowshoes and keep them from sinking into the snow. Their paws are also completely fur-covered, protecting them from the cold.
Very rare in most of their range, an estimated 3,500 to 7,000 snow leopards are left in the wild, with 600 - 700 in zoos around the world. Exact numbers in the wild have not been determined due to the snow leopard's shy nature.
Snow leopards are found at altitudes between 9,800 and 17,000 feet in the high, rugged mountains of Central Asia. Their range spans from Afghanistan to Kazakstan and Russia in the north to India and China in the east. China contains about 60% of snow leopard habitat. They have already disappeared from certain parts of Mongolia, which is part of their historic range.
Snow leopards prefer to inhabit steep cliff areas, rocky outcrops and ravines. Such habitats provide them with the camouflage they need to ambush unsuspecting prey. They stalk their prey and usually spring from a distance of 20 - 50 feet. Their long and powerful hind limbs help snow leopards leap up to 30 feet, which is six times their body length.
Did You Know?
Snow leopards have light green or gray eyes, unusual for big cats, who usually have yellow or gold eyes.
Mostly active at dawn and dusk, snow leopards are rarely seen in the wild. Unlike other big cats, snow leopards are unable to roar. Solitary in nature, they pair only during the breeding season.
Mating Season: Between January and mid-March.
Gestation: period 3-3 ½ months.
Litter size: 2-3 cubs.
Females give birth in rocky dens lined with their fur. The young follow their mother on hunts at three months and remain with her through their first winter.

Say Hello To Krogzilla!
I'm very excited to finally announce my new project, the animated web series "KROGZILLA GETS A JOB." It will debut MAY 31 on Shut Up! Cartoons, the new animation channel from SMOSH.COM.
"Krogzilla Gets A Job" is very much in the tone of "Hoodwinked," with some of the awkwardness of "The Office" and "Louie" and a bit of the banter of "New Girl." It's about a sea monster who used to be 200 feet tall in his glory days, crushing everything in his wake… but after being defeated and shrunk by scientists, now he simply has to get a job and fit in with the rest of us. He's polite but still a bull in a china shop, since he just hasn't gotten the human interaction thing down yet. Each week, a three minute episode will show Krogzilla getting hired and fired from a variety of jobs. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results.
A lot of that satisfaction comes from the new sandbox I am playing in, known as THE INTERNET! Not a lot of guys in suits giving notes. Not a lot of restrictions put on the creator. But it also comes with immediate feedback from every human who watches it. This new opportunity came to me by way of the good guys at SMOSH.COM, who have built what I would call "An Empire Of Silliness" over the last couple years. If you're like me and over age 30, you're probably asking "Who the heck is Smosh.com?" Apparently millions of teens & college kids know. Once I learned that these guys have the third largest subscribed-to channel on YouTube, I had to put my eyeballs back in my head and take notice.
"Krogzilla" has a fun voice cast made up of a lot of my funny friends. Ken Marino of "Children's Hospital" and "The State," John O'Hurley of "Seinfeld," Joel McCrary of "Kickin' It" and "Robot Chicken" and funny lady Vanessa Ragland of the popular "PMC Podcast." "Hoodwinked" fans may also recognize Josh Greene (the voice of "Jimmy Lizard") in several roles, and me… as the titular sea monster.
I'll be introducing others working behind the scenes in the coming weeks.
The hype train is leaving the station, and I want each and every one of you to get onboard. Chooooo-choooo! Okay, that's the end of the train metaphor. Even though the series doesn't start for a month, I'll still be talking about it a lot here, getting people excited and "Krog-ified."
Press has already started, and you can click some of these links to read more about the 100 channel YouTube initiative and more about the many series premiering on Shut Up! Cartoons.
And finally, to get updates on the project (and random comedy) follow me on twitter @RealCoryEdwards, @ShutUpCartoons or Krogzilla himself @Krogzilla!

KISSIMMEE, Fla.—Despite taking two out of three doubles matches, UMass Boston Men's and Women's tennis each fell by identical 5-4 scores Tuesday morning at the Oak Street Community Park.
Seniors Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) and Mark Grinhaus (Scarsdale, N.Y.) each finished with two wins for the men's side, while senior Anitra Kloczewiak (Newton, Mass.) was the lone women's tennis player to go 2-0 on the day.
Men's Tennis: Western New England 5, UMass Boston 4
The men's team (0-4) played their most competitive match of the season Tuesday morning, before falling just short in singles play. Lai won his first two matches of the 2013-14 season, while Grinhaus picked up his first collegiate singles and doubles wins in his second career match.
After finding themselves trailing 2-1, 3-2 and 4-3, the Golden Bears (2-2) won the final two singles matches (fifth and sixth singles) of the day to earn the 5-4 victory.
Western New England opened the match with an 8-0 victory at third doubles, as PJ Nassar and Peter LeFrancois defeated Brian Sou (Revere, Mass.) and Lyle Analetto (Belmont, Mass.).
UMass Boston responded with hard-fought wins at second and first doubles, as Grinhaus paired up with Jack Wang (Suzhou, China) for an 8-6 win and Lai teamed up with Eglis Bizhoti (Kucove, Albania) for a 9-7 victory at top-flight doubles.
The Golden Bears tied the match at 2-2 to open singles play, as Alexander Sause knocked off Bizhoti 6-2, 6-4 at second-flight singles.
Grinhaus gave the Beacons the lead back with a 6-2, 6-2 win at number four singles. LeFrancois knocked off Wang 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 at third-flight singles to tie the match at 3-3, but UMass Boston took the lead for the third and final time (4-3) as Lai picked up a 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 at number one singles.
Western New England wrapped up the win with wins at fifth and sixth singles, as Sou fell 6-1, 6-4 at sixth singles and Analetto dropped a 6-3, 6-0 decision.
The Men's team will return to action Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m when the take on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
Women's Tennis: Western New England 5, UMass Boston 4
Women's Tennis (6-12) had to fight an up-hill battle; as the Beacons dropped four of six singles matches, which forced them to win all three singles matches to earn a match victory. The Beacons fell just short, as they took home wins at first and third singles to even the match, before the Golden Bears wrapped up the match with an 8-2 win at number two doubles.
Kloczewiak earned two of the Beacons' four victories, while Nurcin Celebi (Istanbul Turkey) picked up her third collegiate singles victory.
The Beacons opened the match with a 1-0 lead, as Kloczewiak easily dealt her opponent a 6-1, 6-2 defeat at number one singles.
Western New England responded with four-straight victories: as Ashley Lauricella defeated Kelsey Shea (West Bridgewater, Mass.) 6-3, 6-4 at number six singles, Linda Mustafa downed Samantha Counts (Bridgewater, Mass.) 7-5, 6-2 at second-flight singles, Joeanna Glantz earned a victory over Vanessa Pojidaev (West Bloomfield, Mich.) at third singles and Solveig Castelli (Precojo, France) fell 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 at number four singles to Lindsey Bruvig.
Celebi cut the deficit to 4-2, as she earned a 7-5, 6-4 victory at fifth-flight singles.
The Beacons put themselves back in contention in doubles, as Counts and Kloczewiak earned an easy 8-2 win at number one doubles to make it 4-3 Golden Bears.
Logan Smith (Southwick, Mass.) and Shea evened the match at 4-4 with an 8-2 win at number three doubles, but the Golden Bears took a 5-4 victory with an 8-2 victory at number two doubles over Castelli and Vicky Woytowicz (Springfield, Mass.).
The Beacons will be back in action Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. when they take on Smith College in their final dual match of the 2013-14 season.

On the heels of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees saying he wants to play until he's 45 years old, another veteran quarterback has expressed a desire to play into his 40's.
According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, New York Jets quarterback Michael Vick says he wants to play until he's 40.
Vick, 34, signed a one-year deal with the Jets earlier this offseason to serve as a veteran backup to second-year starter Geno Smith.
While Vick doesn't view his skills as being relegated to that of a backup quarterback, he has accepted his role as a backup and mentor to Smith for the Jets.
"You never envision yourself being in this role (when you're younger)," Vick said. "But as you grow older, you start to (realize) it's inevitable. You know it's going to happen. At the same time, I just try to keep myself in shape and keep trying to be the best that I can be, because you never know what can happen."
Vick threw for 1,215 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions in seven games for the Philadelphia Eagles last season before an injury handed the starting job to Nick Foles.

MSU, Loyola commemorating historic game
Mississippi State's All-SEC team captain Joe Dan Gold, left, and Loyola All-American Jerry Harkness, right, met at center court in Michigan State's Jenison Field House for the tipoff for the historic 1963 NCAA Basketball Tournament game. Gold extended his hand and Harkness shook it -- making national headlines as MSU's administration and coaches defied the state's political power structure aligned against integration to compete for a national championship.
For the first time since the historic night of March 15, 1963, Mississippi State University and Loyola University Chicago will meet again on the hardwood in basketball competition. The Bulldogs and Ramblers are scheduled to meet on Saturday, Dec. 15 at Joseph J. Gentile Arena in Chicago, Ill., to commemorate the NCAA Basketball Tournament game played 50 years ago at Jenison Field House in East Lansing, Mich.
The MSU Alumni Association, along with the Bulldog Club and the office of MSU President Mark E. Keenum, is planning a social for Bulldog alumni in the Chicago area prior to the game. The pre-game social will take place on Friday night, Dec. 14, at Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse and Bar. Harry Caray's is located at 33 West Kinvie St. in Chicago. The social will last from 7 to 9 p.m., with heavy hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar available.
The two teams are also scheduled to play in 2013 at Humphrey Coliseum, with the date and time to be determined at a later date.
The 1963 NCAA Tournament game between MSU and Loyola ranks as perhaps Mississippi State University's finest hour both in terms of athletics and racial reconciliation.
On three occasions prior to the 1963 season, MSU's men's basketball team was prohibited from participating in the NCAA Tournament due to the possibility of playing a team with African-American players. The No. 3-ranked Ramblers, behind Jerry Harkness' 20 points, went on to defeat Mississippi State 61-51 en route to winning the 1963 national basketball championship.
"The 1963 SEC champion Bulldogs were given the opportunity previous Mississippi State teams were denied -- to compete for a national championship against the best teams in the country," MSU athletics director Scott Stricklin said. "To do so, they had to defy a sitting Governor, avoid a court injunction and sneak out of the state. We're excited to join Loyola over the next two seasons in celebrating this historic occasion. Loyola won a national championship; Mississippi State helped to make for a better way of life. As a Bulldog, I'm proud of this team and the individuals who helped move our state forward when doing so took courage and conviction.
In 1963, MSU's basketball team was again invited to play in the NCAA tournament. The Bulldogs, under head coach Babe McCarthy, were slated to play Loyola College, a team that started four black players. At the time, state law prohibited Mississippi teams from playing against integrated athletic teams. The basketball team devised a plan to sneak off campus to play in the tournament anyway.
With their plan successful, the game between the Bulldogs and racially integrated Loyola became a watershed moment for the state of Mississippi and the civil rights movement. The 2012 matchup between the Bulldogs and the Ramblers marks the 50th anniversary of this game.
"Coach McCarthy was really ahead of his time," said former MSU "Voice of the Bulldogs" Jack Cristil in 2011. "He was a great innovator and a great motivator. McCarthy could get players to play above their talent level in the system they ran. McCarthy's teams challenged the best and generally came out on top."
McCarthy won 169 games and lost 85 at MSU, winning or sharing four SEC titles and earning SEC Coach of the Year honors three consecutive years from 1961 to 1963. He produced All-Americans Jim Ashmore, Bailey Howell, Red Stroud, Leland Mitchell, and All-SEC performers Jerry Graves, Charles Hull, Joe Dan Gold, and Doug Hutton. But McCarthy is best remembered, along with MSU President Dean W. Colvard, for leading MSU's team to break the barrier of segregation by accepting the automatic bid to meet Loyola University of Chicago in the 1963 NCAA basketball tournament.
For many, the courage that Colvard and McCarthy showed in defying the Mississippi Legislature and fiery segregationist Gov. Ross Barnett to enable the all-white MSU men's basketball team to compete against a Loyola team with four African-American starters represented the university's finest hours. For many, Mississippi State's 1962-63 basketball team, coach, and the university administration came together to create a defining moment not only for MSU athletics but for American civil rights and universal sportsmanship as well.
In 1963, MSU for the third-straight year won the Southeastern Conference basketball championship. State won the championship in 1959 and declined the NCAA invitation because of the official integration policy that existed in Mississippi. The same thing happened in 1961 and 1962, but in 1963 McCarthy and Colvard were determined MSU was going to play in the tournament.
Colvard's biographer Marion A. Ellis in the 2004 book Dean W. Colvard: Quiet Leader, wrote: "Colvard had several reasons for wanting the team to compete. First of all, it would give a positive boost to the MSU and Mississippi image. Second, he felt the four seniors on the team deserved a chance after having played together for three years and having won the SEC championship all three years."
In 1963, Loyola head coach George Ireland said: "I feel Mississippi State has a right to be here, no matter what the segregationists say. They may be the best basketball team in the nation and if they are, they have a right to prove it." Harkness, the Loyola All-American, and State's All-SEC team captain Joe Dan Gold met at center court in Michigan State's Jenison Field House for the opening tip. Gold extended his hand and Harkness shook it. "About a thousand flashbulbs went off," Gold would say after the game. The game saw State jump to any early lead only to trail the Ramblers 26-19 at the half. The Maroons went on an 8-4 run to pull to within 30-27 in the second half but would get no closer. State was down four with two minutes to go and missed the shot. Cristil said it was "a good shot that just didn't go down. We had to start shooting, and Loyola beat us by 10, 61-51. It was a disappointing loss, but it had been a marvelous opportunity for the young men."
Loyola would go on to win the 1963 NCAA national championship. Ron Miller, Loyola's 6'2" guard and one of the four black starters, told writer John Thomas on the 40th anniversary of the game: "I remember the (Mississippi State) guys being nice. I remember the guys wishing us luck (after the game), and wanting us to win (the national championship). And during the game it was polite. They played a very hard, very aggressive, very strong defensive game, very clean, and they didn't back off."

MLS Team To Put All of Its Season Ticket Holders' Names on Jerseys
Season ticket holders often feel like they are a part of the team. One Major League Soccer club is validating that feeling by putting the names of season ticket holders onto its primary uniform (called kits in soccer).
The MLS Colorado Rapids will use the names of all 1,451 fans who are season ticket holders in tiny print on its primary kit. The burgundy jerseys will be accented in white, with the names of the individual season ticket holders printed in black to create a hoop-like effect on the kit.
"With our new alternate jerseys featuring the Colorado state flag, and our primary kits including the names of our season-ticket holders, we want to recognize our fans and our state for their passion and support over the last 18 years," said Rapids president Tim Hinchey in a club statement.
The Rapids are the first U.S. team to do this sort of fan shout-out. A Spanish team used fan names inside its numbers in 2012. Of course, it's only a matter of time before Hugh Johnson, I.P. Dailey and Amanda Hugankiss become Rapids' season ticket holders.
