Inquiry Question
Reading 3: Colonel Hornbrook's Recruiting Announcement
Because Castolon was far from the kinds of activities many young soldiers would want for their free time, Colonel Hornbrook wrote a recruiting broadside that he hoped would entice men to enlist. It was printed in February 1920.
Red Blooded Men Take Notice!
Do you ever long for the great outdoors?
Does the silent appeal of Nature, as exemplified by rugged mountains, deep canyons, rocky precipices, all equally inspiring get you?
Does being in a vast and undeveloped section, 100 miles from the railroad, strike a sympathetic note in your heart?
Does the idea of patrolling this historic and history making country where every man is on his own, make your pulse beat a bit faster?
Would you like to be in one of the wildest, least explored sections and the only real frontier of the greatest nation on earth?
Is there a man to whom hunting--and the best to be had in the United States at that--camping out for days and cooking your own meals under the bluest sky on earth, with the added zest that at any time the crack of a bandit's rifle may call you to the really serious business of being a solider, is there a real man I repeat, to whom these things do not appeal?
Join the Fifth Cavalry, hunting and fishing par excellence, deer and quail in abundance, rabbits by the thousands, with the added thought that at any moment the tables may be turned and you may be the hunter, hunted.
We get hunters in this district from Maine to California. The Government pays you to be here. This is an opportunity for any outdoors man who is a real sure nuff hunter and trapper who wants to see real untrammeled Nature at her best.
Join the Fifth Cavalry if you are for really honest-to-God outdoor life and next to nature stuff. We have it and are enjoying every minute of it, and we are calling to any man--and that is every man--whose heart and soul yearns for the riches we have, and who hasn't the necessary riches to enjoy them.
The Fifth Cavalry wants real men: men who like to rough it. We need you and you need us and our wonderful Big Bend District with all its vastness, all its wildness, and that added zest of danger that all he men desire. Sign up now while the spirit moves.
Questions for Reading 3
1. Which document, Captain Lafferty's report or Colonel Hornbrook's recruiting announcement, do you think painted a more accurate picture of life in small Army posts like Castolon? Why?
2. Describe three items in Colonel Hornbrook's recruiting notice he hoped would attract men to enlist under his command. Would you have enlisted after reading this notice? (As it turned out, the Big Bend District which Hornbook commanded was disbanded a few months after this announcement was published.)
3. Why might Colonel Hornbrook have used these particular descriptions to enlist men?
4. Do you think this is a fair recruiting broadside? How might you try to enlist men if you were in the same situation?
Reading 3 was excerpted from Earl H. Elam, "Big Bend Archives: The Big Bend Military District and Colonel James J. Hornbrook's Recruiting Announcement," The Journal of Big Bend Studies, V.II, pp. 117-121, January 1990.

Marijuana grown indoors using a hydroponics system (tubes and filters with water and fertilizers). To correct the first definition, NO marijuana causes mental problems - but it does get you really high.
I couldn't find any hydro for the weekend, so I had to settle for some reg.
by Johnnybong May 19, 2005
short for hydrocodone its related to codeine and is in a class of drugs called narcotic analgesics. It is a pain reliever most pill poppers take it to get high
by PUNK barbie March 26, 2003
most excellent weed grown in water not dirt
You I Got This Bag From Money Right It Was The Best Fuckin Hydro I Ever SMoked
by DeVonTheDucer July 28, 2003
hydro ( a.k.a hydroponic ) is a high grade marijuana. It is grown by using hydroponics ( hense the name hyrdo ). Hydroponics is an alternitive to growing the seeds in dirt. It is usually grown in water just like lilly pads grow.
Grey goose and a whole lotta hydro- Nas from the song Made You Look
by hyrdonucca June 29, 2009
Hydroponically grown marijuana of good quality. Often called "hyge" for short.
Also used to describe the hydroponic setup used to grow the weed.
Also used to describe the hydroponic setup used to grow the weed.
"I had a few cones of hydro after smoking bush for a week, it put me on my ass!"
"I'm going to get a new hydro setup tommorow."
"I'm going to get a new hydro setup tommorow."
by Diego July 08, 2003
Hydro is a better type of marijuana because you will get a more enjoyable high when smoking it. For example smoking regular weed will make you tired.
You will know that you are smoking real hydro because the ash will be pure white, not grey like shitty weed.

Despite their obvious differences in opinion on gun control, President Obama and NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre apparently agree on one thing: armed security guards in schools.
Through myriad critiques against the media and violent video games on Dec. 21, LaPierre suggested the solution was in having guards at every school, saying "that we as a society leave [kids] utterly defenseless, and the monsters and predators of this world know it and exploit it. That must change now!"
It looks like the President agrees, but he's using a different term for them: school resource officers.
The term, according to the official White House plan, describes "specially trained police officers." Obama has called for 1,000 of them to protect schools and provide a deterrent against crime.
The officers will be voluntary for schools to have, but Obama indicates that "some schools will want trained and armed police, others may prefer increased counseling services. Either way, each district should be able to choose what is best to protect its own students."

Engineering students at UC Berkeley recently showcased a slick solar race car clad in photovoltaic panels that looks for all the world like UFO hovering a few feet over the earth. Dubbed the GoldRush, the vehicle is completely powered by the sun's rays and is capable of hitting an impressive top speed of 50 miles per hour without using a single drop of gas. I recently had a chance to catch up with the sleek solar vehicle at the Marin County Fair and was able to snap some first hand photos – hit the jump for more!
When I caught up with the GoldRush at last weekend's Marin County Fair, it was soaking up the sun's rays alongside a set of other electric vehicles at the Fair's Electric Wheels Car Show. As the exhibit's only car completely powered by the sun, the GoldRush's eye-catching photovoltaic array and streamlined space-age curves turned just as many heads as the svelte Tesla Roadster parked a few paces away.
In designing the GoldRush the students decided to go with a three-wheeled design that kept the vehicle's weight to a minimum. The car's solar panel studded shell is composed of lightweight and super strong Kevlar and Nomex honeycomb, and the chassis is constructed from chromoly steel. As an ultra-efficient racing vehicle, the GoldRush has just enough space for a single rider seated upright.
The vehicle is the latest in a series of six solar racing vehicles developed by UC Berkeley's Calsol program since its formation in 1990. The team has competed in a wide range of racing events including the North American Solar Challenge, the Formula Sun Grand Prix, and the World Solar Challenge. We wish them the best of luck as they continue to race towards a brighter, more sustainable future.

This year's British Indoor Winter Series kicks off at Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield the second weekend of November! With last year's amazing turnout we expect this to be a popular and hotly contested series, so get your entries in now! Two Touring Car classes will be raced - 27 Turn Stock and Open Modified. The Open Modified class will be allowed to run any turn motor. New for this year's series is a spec tyre, wheel and insert combination. The HPI #4435 tyre (2 pcs) will be used as before, however the Team Orion #71130 insert (4 pcs) and Hot Bodies #1082 26mm Inch-Up wheel (4 pcs) must be used as well. This takes all the guesswork out of choosing inserts and wheels, and puts extra emphasis on tuning and driving skills! Two 5mm holes must be made in each wheel for inspection purposes. A maximum of 2 sets of the controlled tyre/insert/wheels can be used per meeting. Apart from the motor and tyre regulations all other rules for these classes will be according to standard BRCA rules. The dates for the British Indoor Winter Series are:
- 14 November
- 12 December
- 16 January
- 20 February
- 13 March (Finals)

We are going to pack as light as we can for the trip but she will have the Nauticam setup that she usually hauls in a carry on and I will have an Amphibico housing. What advice can you give on how we should best handle packing the camera equipment? Should be pack some in our check in bags? Use a Scott Vest? Any and all advice is appreciated.

A pure sports car for Scion.
The FR-S is the first-ever sports car for Scion, and it's a radically different machine from the boxy subcompacts that the brand is best known for and is nothing like even the sporty tC coupe. The FR-S is the result of a collaboration with Subaru, and Subaru is selling a virtually identical car, the BRZ. Subaru also builds both versions, and the engine in the FR-S is a horizontally opposed Subaru four-cylinder. The benefit of a so-called boxer engine is its low overall height, which allows the FR-S to have a lower center of gravity. The 2.0-liter is good for 200 hp and comes with a six-speed stick or a six-speed automatic with shift paddles. In keeping with the pure sports car idea, the FR-S is rear-wheel drive and, equally important, is very light weight, at about 2750 pounds. The small two-plus-two does have rear seats, but they're pretty cramped; the rear seatbacks do fold down to expand trunk space. Performance-wise, the FR-S is not a powerhouse, but it's definitely quick. The car's overarching character, however, comes from its beautifully balanced chassis, which makes for neutral handling. The FR-S is fun to drive in a way that no previous Scion has ever been and few other cars are.

The news channels are talking about Ronald Reagan 24/7, in preparation for the old fraud's funeral. Over and over, It's morning in America, he made Americans feel good about America. At a friend's house, a bunch of us watch the Patriots edge out the Panthers in a re-run of Super Bowl XXXVII over beer and barbecue chicken. American football is incomprehensible - I have no idea what's happening on the screen or why.
In an internet cafe, the BBC News webpage describes car bombs and death in Iraq and how Attorney General John Ashcroft has denied government involvement in military torture programmes. The BBC correspondent Frank Gardner has just been shot and crippled in Saudi Arabia, and his cameraman Simon Cumber killed.
In the mornings, I watch a little TV and buy the Boston Globe or the New York Times. Click, click, click - channel after channel, newspaper after newspaper, it's dead President, sports, lifestyle, sports. What political news there is, is anodyne, he-said-she-said piffle. When Iraq gets a mention, it's because the President has compared the invasion and occupation to World War II. USA! USA!
Then one morning, I find Fox News. I'm vaguely aware of it and watch a few minutes - it's a repeat of the previous day's Bill O'Reilly Show, and big Bill is pissed off. Michael Moore, who I know from The Awful Truth and Bowling For Columbine, has made a new film that claims George W. Bush bombed the Twin Towers, or something. Michael Moore is a traitor, a communist and is also fat.
I enjoy my holiday - visit New York, Cape Cod, Walden Pond and so on, and then head home with a suntan, some duty free and whacking great stars 'n' stripes I bought to use up the last of my dollars.
Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 hits the news channels like a thunderbolt. It's a one-eyed, entirely partisan demolition job on the Bush administration's response to the Al Qaeda attack on America and its subsequent invasion of Iraq. It makes a series of specific and powerful claims...
1) That President Bush is a chump. Most Americans have never seen the film footage of him sitting dumbly in that classroom listening to a reading from a children's book while the World Trade Centre burns. Now, it's being shown on heavy rotation on cable news.
2) That the Bush administration is so closely intertwined with the Saudi royal family that it spirited Bin Laden family members out of the country at its behest. Moore asks, can these people be trusted to have Americans' best interests at heart?
3) That the US government intentionally exploited Americans' fear and alarm to stampede through regressive legislation and to launch a war on Iraq that was based almost entirely upon a series of astonishing lies and propaganda wheezes.
4) That the American media obediently reported everything that the government told it to, without seriously questioning any aspects major or minor, and that
5) US soldiers and Iraqi civilians are dying in large numbers thanks to that war, and that the administration that launched it are utterly clueless on what to do about it.
America has no idea what to make of the film. It contradicts everything that they've been told, everything they take for granted.
The news channels and print press, as is the way of things in the US, report the controversy. The Democratic Party welcomes bad press for their political foes, but are as always too spineless to seize the opportunity, afraid to appear weak or unpatriotic.
The Republicans and their media creatures flail desperately, hurling insults and denials this way and that, but the damage is done. The frame has shifted - the discussion is no longer about Saddam Hussein's invented Al Qaeda links and fictional weapons, but is about whether the Bush administration is full of liars and the war on Iraq unjust and insane.
For the first time, America is on the verge of seeing itself the way that the rest of the world has seen it, this past few years - as a dangerous, wounded animal lashing out at easy targets, led by mendacious propagandists and opportunists. The US diplomatic service is so alarmed that it attempts to block screenings of the film.
It's a precarious time. The presidential election is coming up in November, and things have taken a disastrous turn for the Bush admin. Somebody needs to do something to shore up their wounded, leaking public image, before the damage becomes serious.
But what's that portly figure on the horizon? He's striding towards us with determination and a glint in his eye, hiking up his trousers around his rotund waist and steeling his will. Who is this man? What could he possibly want?
Why, it's Christopher Hitchens, and he's here to save the day for war, destruction and the Republican Party! Hallelujah, brothers, for Hitchens has rescued the American People from reality!
I exaggerate, of course. Hitchens' piece was the first serious attempt to rebut Moore's movie, and he scores some good hits. The Afghanistan section is, as Hitch says, pissweak stuff, a work of circumstantial innuendo worthy of Hitchens himself.
Michael Moore has always been a kind of populist Hitchens, minus the overwrought prose and Oxbridge education, and without the mania for war, death, murder and destruction. In another life, they should've been lovers. They were perfect for each other, each as hackish as the other in pursuit of political goals.
But even now, you have to marvel at how Hitchens rallied the troops to the flag. I don't exaggerate when I say that US wingnuts were flailing, howling incoherently over Fahrenheit 9/11. For the first time in three years, they'd utterly lost control of The Message, and all manner of horrible leftist goblins were springing out of the ground to ask dangerous questions about President Bush's statements, actions and integrity.
Enter Hitchens the Englishman of the left, to save the President from an American, socialist anti-war activist.
We can immediately dispense with every single one of Hitchens' complaints about Moore's honesty. As we saw yesterday, Hitchens was an expert bullshitter who could and did effortlessly match Moore's most ludicrous elisions and misdirections.
We can also dismiss his comparison of Moore to Leni Reifenstahl with a chuckle. Say what you like about Michael Moore, but his angry-ordinary-Joe act never got anyone killed. You can't say the same for Hitch's gleefully ridiculous poacher-turned-gamekeeper schtick.
Marvel also that Hitchens, who propped up his later career with the comical pretense that his full-throated endorsement of official US government policy was an act of exemplary political courage, had the GIANT BRASS BALLS OF STEEL required to commit the following sentence to paper...
(the film) ..."Is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery".
"Abject political cowardice", says the man who spent who knows how many hours defending such glorious paragons of virtue as Ahmad Chalabi and Paul Wolfowitz! Well, we can at least have a laugh as he tries to de-schmuckify Bush's toe-curling encounter with The Pet Goat or his infamous "Now watch this drive!" scene, as he ran the War on Terror from the golf course.
Hitchens' complaint that Moore shows pre-war Iraq by depicting kite-flying children and happy families has now entered pro-war folklore. The kite-flying kiddies, followed immediately by the shattering aerial assault on Baghdad, are all a sub-Hitchens goon like Nick Cohen need invoke any time he mentions Moore, confident that his point is made. And yet...
Let's be blunt. As a depiction of the victims of the Iraq War, Moore's choice of clips are a million times more representative than Hitchens' unending war against Saddam and whoever he was calling Genocidal Fascists on any given day. The lowest, definitely undercounting estimate for civilian deaths in Iraq is in the region of 100,000 and I'd happily place a bet that for every fanatical terrorist whose end Hitchens celebrated, a thousand happy families lost a parent, a sibling or a child, kite or no.
The point of lowest bathos comes when Hitchens tries to explain that, contra Moore's claim, Iraq did attack Americans. Iraq started it! Why, they sheltered Abu Nidal! You remember Abu Nidal? Most won't because nobody gave a fuck about one elderly terrorist, before or after the war, barring Hitchens.
They sheltered Abu Musab al Zarqawi! If they did, of course - and I can't establish this one way or the other - it's in the sense that the US "sheltered" the 9/11 hijackers, since Zarqawi was as murderously disposed towards the various tyrannies of the Middle East as he was to the US. Hitchens certainly knows this, yet says it anyway. Honesty and truth, indeed.
Iraqi ground units shot at American planes patrolling the No-Fly Zone over Iraq! Well, on and on he goes. You can imagine what type of film all of these caveats would feature in, what form of documentary Hitch might prefer to see.
"At no point does Michael Moore make the smallest effort to be objective. At no moment does he pass up the chance of a cheap sneer or a jeer".
Says Hitchens, the famously objective, well-mannered gentleman*.
Hitchens' gripes get more bizarre - about Moore's "affected and ostentatious concern for Black America", as if Hitch has never affected ostentatious concern for the people he actively advocates bombing. He demands to know whether Moore would support a military draft, or the draft riots of 1863. Thankfully, he doesn't ask whether Mike is still beating his wife.
Hilariously, given his well-known habit of minimising and diverting from American crimes and fuck-ups, he also trots out this humdinger of a line...
"In general, it's highly unwise to quote Orwell if you are already way out of your depth on the question of moral equivalence".
Well anyway, you know the rest. The wingnut literati all promiscuously linked to Hitchens' piece, expanded and wanked up the most egregious of his points and soon enough, they steadied the rocking Republican ship. The monster Moore was repelled, sent wailing and thrashing back into the depths of the sea, and the world made safe for the US government's insane wars. President Bush squeaked re-election. Both his administration and its criminal ineptitude passed into history, leaving the rest of the planet with the Mother of All Economic And Military Fuck-Ups in our laps.
The big barbecue in Fallujah was only months away; coalition forces continued to bleed troops until the great slaughter of the Iraqi civil war ensued, murdering thousands upon thousands of civilians in an orgy of horrifying violence and blood-letting. The coalition lost almost five thousand men and women killed and tens of thousands more injured. Many thousands of veterans continue to struggle badly with adjustment to civilian life, with far higher rates of homelessness, unemployment and mental illness than the norm. The bodycount for Iraqis is too large to accurately count.
The Iraq War has gone down in history as one of the most needless and wasteful military disasters of the modern era and the killing is a long way from finished yet.
Chris Hitchens continued to make highly tendentious, fork-tongued arguments for violence and mayhem, picking up fat paycheques for angrily denouncing those of his former colleagues on the left who had the temerity to complain about war. He died in 2011, on the same day that the occupation of Iraq ended. Tributes poured in from all quarters, although many of the wingnuts who once fed on the scraps from his table denounced him as an antisemite and a commie for insufficient pro-Israel belligerence.
Michael Moore made successful films about American healthcare reform and the injustices of capitalism. A few years later, a programme of subsidised healthcare was instituted and world capitalism burned its own house down in an orgy of greed and recrimination.
History, I think, will be kinder to one than it will to the other, Literary Lion or not.
Anyway, let's leave the last word to Hitchens, since he isn't here to speak for himself.
...If you leave out absolutely everything that might give your "narrative" a problem and throw in any old rubbish that might support it, and you don't even care that one bit of that rubbish flatly contradicts the next bit, and you give no chance to those who might differ, then you have betrayed your craft.
Oh, yes. Those are words to live by alright, Chris.
*On the topic of sneering and jeering, see this passage, quoted from Lawyers, Guns & Money...
"If you wanted more Iraqi support," Atiyyah bellowed at Hitchens," you should have given us more money and food once you got there!"
"So you're saying, sir, that you can be bought," Hitchens shot back...
...If I didn't deeply dislike Hitchens already, that would do it. He's talking to one of the leaders of one of the liberal Iraqi institutions upon which the future of Iraq depends. There's no way that the guy has the resources he needs. And Hitchens has the gall to talk about humanitarian aid and support for his projects as if it was some sort of bribe that Atiyyah should have the self-respect to refuse. You want more money for the military? Are you saying, sir, that the United States Armed Forces can be bought? I shall have to say good day to you, sir!
Pure class, our Chris.

What are the best engineering schools? It is not as clear-cut as it may seem, unfortunately. Students must look at the factors that make each engineering school special, and then decide what characteristics of any given institution are most important to them.
America's Best Colleges from U.S. News & World Report is the preeminent source for college and university rankings. The ratings the schools gain are based on composite scores from different categories. Among others, these categories include peer assessments, corporate recruiter assessments, average test scores by students, student retention and graduation rates, student/faculty ratios, SAT/ACT score averages, applicant acceptance rates, and school financial resources.
The grading elements are assigned a different weighted percentage on a 100-point scale, and the associated math gets complicated...but in the end, a high ranking means that the institution has its act together across the board. The overall score not only indicates that students are well-taught and highly-educated, but also addresses variables about life and learning of students, such as the student/faculty ratio, retention, and graduation rates (factors for student success). When broken down, the ratings are indicators of quality education based on both the faculty members' and the students' efforts.
Rankings from other sources are done differently. The rankings from Graduateshotline.com are based upon various Internet sources, evaluations by the National Research Council, and comments from current students. Those findings are then weighted according to school funding, graduate job placement, and quality of the institution's research.
StudentsReview.com weighs their rankings by the following determinants: educational quality (50%), academic success based upon understanding (25%), creativity encouragement (12%), usefulness of student work (5%), accessible faculty (4%), and university funding used for benefit of students (4%). The rankings are based on student opinion surveys and are updated monthly. The site filters out falsified or otherwise invalid surveys, making the subjective results as accurate as possible. Also, the fewer surveys a school has received, the more its ranking can rise or fall based on a single survey. The site's disclaimer for that flaw reads "Warning: Data is not statistically reliable, nor is it complete. It is heavily biased based upon the number of surveys."
Students should consider how each source conducts its rankings. Comparing schools on several ranking scales will give a student the best estimate of a college program's quality.
Rankings are a convenient, informative, and easy way for students to compare possible colleges and gain an overall view of an institution. But no college ratings scale can measure and put in perspective other components of college choice that are usually of the utmost importance to a student.
For example, U.S. News & World Report's number one engineering graduate school for 2007 is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). So, every student will try to get in to MIT, right? But imagine that there's a student from Georgia whose parents went to the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT), which happens to be ranked at number four. If he attends GIT, he will get in-state tuition, be closer to his family, and, last but probably not least, make his parents happy. The only sacrifice is a few percentage points in various categories where GIT is slightly lacking compared to MIT, and perhaps a little prestige. So GIT would likely be the best choice for the student.
Additionally, an engineering student would probably want to make a decision based on what the program emphasized. If the student wants to study aerospace engineering, or biological engineering, or chemical engineering, or computer engineering, he will have to make an attendance decision based on which schools offer the desired engineering program.
So students can take engineering school rankings and determine what the top college choices are, but factors that will not be included in a nationwide ranking—size, location, setting, atmosphere unique programs, name recognition, family considerations—must be evaluated by students for them to make the best choice. With those factors in play, the 12th-ranked school could easily become the obvious top choice.

Former Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez will head to court on Jan 25 to seek an injunction that would allow him to sign and fight for the UFC as early as UFC 159 in New Jersey.
According to a report by Kevin Iole from official MMAWeekly.com content partner Yahoo! Sports, Alvarez has been granted a hearing with a judge in New Jersey to seek that injunction that would hopefully allow him freedom from Bellator, and put him to work for the UFC.
Alvarez is currently held up after receiving an offer from the UFC that was then matched by his previous employers at Bellator. Under the terms of his original agreement with Bellator, they had matching rights to offer their former lightweight champion equal contract points for any other promotion that tried to gain his services.
The UFC did in fact make an offer. In their counter offer, Bellator literally took the names UFC and Zuffa (the parent company of the UFC) off of the contract, and replaced it with their name while also dabbling in some extra earning potential for Alvarez.
Alvarez and his management team along with his attorneys hope to prove that the value of the two contracts are not the same due to several additional bonuses the UFC can provide, including pay-per-view points that the fighter can earn with the promotion. Currently, Bellator has never done and as of late last year had not planned to do pay-per-view any time soon.
Alvarez will seek the injunction in front of Federal judge Jose L. Linares, asking for his freedom to sign with the UFC and hopefully fight on the upcoming UFC 159 card in New Jersey, headlined by light heavyweight champion Jon Jones as he faces Chael Sonnen.
The card would also hold local significance for Alvarez because he spends a large portion of his training time in New Jersey working alongside former UFC champion Frankie Edgar. He alsohails from neighboring Philadelphia and has routinely had a fan base that will pay to see him fight locally.
Seeking the injunction doesn't mean final resolution will come on Jan. 25.
The judge overseeing the case can opt to grant the injunction and allow Alvarez to fight for the UFC and order a trial, he could rule in favor of Bellator, or he could deny the injunction altogether and put the case on trial.
Alvarez is obviously hopeful to seek resolution that would allow him to fight in the UFC in April.
"Got a court date on Jan. 25, very excited to get this BS dealt with. Very confident that the truth will prevail and you should be too," wrote Alvarez via Twitter on Friday. "Thank you all for having my back through out and pray this can get dealt with quickly."
On Thursday evening, Alvarez provided a running play-by-play via Twitter for Bellator's debut show on Spike TV in which lightweight champion Michael Chandler, the man who beat Alvarez for the title, defeated Rick Hawn in the main event.
Throughout the broadcast, Alvarez answered fans who asked about possible anger towards Bellator for the way this whole process has played out and he made it clear that while he's not happy with the current agenda, he still loves the promotion that provided him a home for the last several years.
"To clear the air, I love Bellator," said Alvarez. "Am I happy with what's going on? No, but things will pass and my feeling will remain the same."

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio — one of the bipartisan group of eight Senators proposing an overhaul of the nation's immigration system — managed to make a believer of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.
On his radio show Monday, Limbaugh dismissed the plan as blanket amnesty and said it was "up to me and Fox News" to stop it.
But Limbaugh took a different tone on Tuesday when speaking with Rubio directly.
Limbaugh opened the segment by asking Rubio, "Why are we doing this now?"
"The key is this was going to be an issue," Rubio said. "I thought it was critically important that we outline the key principles." He said he doesn't want the immigration debate to be "defined" by President Barack Obama and Democrats.
Rubio confirmed that he wouldn't support any bill that doesn't attach conditions for border security in exchange for a path to citizenship. Limbaugh said that he thinks Democrats don't want border security because they want more voters to come in that typically vote Democratic.
"I am confident that given a fair chance, I can convince most Americans that limited government and free enterprise is better for them. Because that's the reason that they came here," Rubio said.
Limbaugh said he doesn't see where there's any common ground between Republicans and Obama.
Rubio said that the President has an "important decision."
"I'm not going to be part of a bidding war to see who can come up with the most lenient path forward," Rubio said. He repeats that he won't support a bill without any enforcement "triggers."
Limbaugh then asked Rubio whether he thinks Obama really wants reform or if he keeps wanting to use it as a political wedge issue.
"That's precisely why I thought it was important to get our principles out there early," Rubio said, noting that he didn't want Obama to get out ahead in the debate.
At that point, Rubio appeared to have convinced Limbaugh.
"What you are doing is admirable and noteworthy," Limbaugh tells Rubio. "You are recognizing reality."
Limbaugh closes by asking what result he thinks will happen if this effort fails. Rubio said that it depends "how it fails."
"There's a lot of work to be done here. We're nowhere near the finish line. But it's important to outline our principles," Rubio said.
"Obama won't be president forever. ... We have to write laws with that in mind, as well," he added.
The interview closed with this exchange from Rush: "You've got a tough job ahead of you."
Rubio: "Yeah. ... I pray that it works out. I can't guarantee that it will."
After the segment with Rubio, Limbaugh said of Rubio, "Is that a good guy or what, folks? Here is a guy who does not fear talk radio."

Students in the seventh and eighth grade at Flood Brook School worked with the Peru, Landgrove, Londonderry, and Weston historical societies on a week-long history institute. During the institute, students learned about the history of the different communities through hands-on research that was guided by both the classroom teachers and historical society members. By the end of the week, each student had created a "village quest" that other community members could follow to learn about the history of their town.

The must-add list keeps getting longer, with everything from digital wallets to mobile remote deposit capture emerging as 2013 must adds for credit unions that are determined to stay relevant.
But know this: there are even more "out there" ideas that, frankly, may not be quite ready for prime time … but they definitely deserve a spot on your watch list.
Two ideas seem especially ripe to me, and both revolve around a fundamental question: How does a financial institution know who you are?
What if you could sign into mobile banking with no login required? No username. No password. Rich Bolstridge, chief strategist, financial services at Internet traffic company Akamai told me he sees exactly this coming as financial institutions race to up the usability and convenience of their mobile tools.
And anybody who has tried to input a lengthy password involving numbers, letters and other characters and upper and lower case knows exactly how treacherous that task is on a mobile phone.
The idea of 86-ing passwords may not be crazy. For starters, said Bolstridge, the vast preponderance of mobile logins are to grab a quick bit of rather harmless information (what's my account balance? Did check 244 clear?). We may not exactly want that information on the front page of the New York Times, but would it matter?
So, posited Bolstridge, what if a credit union required no login for a barebones visit – but if you want to do mobile bill pay or P2P payments, then a regular log in would be required?
Bolstridge pointed to Commonwealth Bank of Australia which already is offering a no login option.
This no login ante gets upped, dramatically, with the work that OneID is doing to eliminate use of usernames and passwords. The idea here is to embed an encrypted login into the mobile device. Credit unions with the appropriate back-end technology would instantly know who is logging in and what accounts they will be allowed to see, said Jim Fenton, chief security officer at OneID.
Don't dismiss this as crazy. CUNA Strategic Services has announced an alliance with OneID where CUNA is promoting the technology to credit unions.
OneID also has flexibility. Want to require some kind of traditional login before any money is transferred out of the account? Additional verifications are a user selected option.
For now, Fenton admitted OneID has no active credit union users. But, he said, "We are in active discussions with some credit unions."
Accept this fact: conversations about simplifying, maybe eliminating, mobile logins are certain to get louder in 2013 and credit unions at the forefront of delivering member convenience will want to stay ahead of this curve
Then there is Photo ID by smartphone, a potentially revolutionary identification idea that Mitek CEO Jim DeBello is peddling. DeBello's mantra is use the camera that is built into every phone as the ultimate data entry solution. It's easy, fast, and – unlike typing on a smartphone's glass – it is close to foolproof.
It may radically transform how – and how fast – new accounts are on-boarded.
"We are leveraging consumer habits and letting the camera act as a keyboard," DeBello said in an interview.
Already, Progressive Insurance is using a variation of the Mitek program which – from the Progressive mobile app – snaps a photo of an insurance applicant's driver's license and uses that data to populate Progressive's quoting app. In an instant, the user gets a valid quote from the insurer. How easy is that?
Mitek has counted some 197 formats for government-issued drivers licenses in the U.S. and it has concocted tools for extracting the right information and putting it in the right place, said DeBello.
DeBello now is seeking to license that technology to more kinds of institutions – think credit unions, credit card companies, and the like.
Just about any place that uses a driver's license as a cornerstone of identification might see value in building this snap and go tool into an app, suggested DeBello. "We will get traction with this in 2013," said DeBello

What we know:
- The photo was taken in Tuscaloosa, Alabama at Magee Photographic Art Studio.
- The original is a Cabinet Card (4 1/4" x 6 1/2").
- The photograph should have been taken between 1862 and 1864 based on the subject matter. However, Cabinet Cards weren't introduced until 1866 in America.
- The photo was part of the collection of Amanda H Davis Edmonds. Amanda Davis was born in 1861, so the photograph must have come to her indirectly. Amanda grew up in Fayette County, Alabama, and moved to Hill County, Texas, when she married Augustus Newell Edmonds. They had friends and family in both states.
- Likely candidates are family or friends of the Davis, Edmonds, or Olive families. (Amanda's mother married an Olive after the death of Amanda's father.)
The leading candidates:
- Augustus Newell Edmonds (1846-1920). Husband of Amanda H Davis. Company K, 8th Alabama Cavalry. Unlikely due to lack of physical resemblance, but the photo could be of a brother or cousin.
- William T Olive (born 1838, died after 1910). Stepfather of Amanda H Davis. Company H, 41st Alabama Infantry.
- Meedy White Melton (born 1832, died about 1876). Uncle of Amanda H Davis (brother of her mother). Company H, 41st Alabama Infantry.
- John A Edmonds (born 1842). Brother of Augustus Newell Edmonds. Company A, 26th Alabama Infantry.
- Wiley Dyer Bagwell (1842-1923). Husband of Elizabeth Menervy Edmonds who was a sister of Augustus Newell Edmonds. Company G, 1st Alabama Partisan Rangers.
- Reubin Davis (1840-1922). Distant relative. Company I, 26th Alabama Infantry.
- Eli Montgomery Davis (1837-1908). Distant relative. Company F, 41st Alabama Regiment.
The obvious mystery here is "Who is in the photograph?" There's a secondary mystery as well: "Why is a man posing in a Confederate uniform after 1866?" Is it possible that it's not actually a Confederate uniform? If not, maybe identifying the uniform can help with identifying the soldier.
Comments welcome!

Mountain Lion Spotted Near Rapid City School
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A Rapid City school kept students indoors after a mountain lion was spotted on school grounds.
The Rapid City Journal reports that Rapid Valley Elementary went into lockdown after the mountain lion was seen about 5:30 a.m. Friday.
Elementary Principal Cher Daniel says the decision to keep the school's 580 students indoors for the day was made after the lion was spotted on a security camera recording.
Electronically-generated phone calls notified parents about the lion and told them that students would not be allowed outside for recesses. The message also told parents to consider options for students who usually walk home after school.
State Game, Fish and Parks wildlife manager John Kanta says officials received another report of a mountain lion in Rapid City earlier in the week.

Keeping up with a calendar app is one of those things that I need to do, but am too lazy to do. I could maybe keep it up for a few days, but after that I would feel burnt out and just tired of the whole process of opening an app to write down something that I need to do later.
That's why I felt that I clearly identified with the slogan of Quickcal, which says, "Don't let creating an event be an event." Does that catch your attention as much as it did mine? Then read on!

Over the last couple of years I have desired a smartwatch, but I have yet to find one that had style and delivered all the features I needed. Sony's LiveView accessory got me excited a couple of years ago, but the early reviews said it had some issues and didn't live up to people's expectations. After listening to customer feedback, Sony went back to work and delivered the new and improved SmartWatch.
This time I wasn't an early adopter, but I finally took the plunge and purchased the Sony SmartWatch after I played with one and a trusted friend gave it the thumbs up. I picked up my SmartWatch at a local Sony Store for $149, but they can be found online for as low as$114.
After spending a couple of weeks with the SmartWatch, I'm finally ready to share my thoughts. Read on see how it performed and if I would recommend it to others.
The Good
Discrete Notifications: Read all your text messages, emails, Facebook and Twitter updates, and more from your Android smartphone on your wrist. Active notifications allow you to tap a single icon and instantly read your messages.
Hundreds of apps and widgets: Sony provides a dozen official apps for their SmartWatch, but there are over 100 3rd-party apps and the list is growing every day. Sony provides a Smart Extension SDK that allows developers to create new apps and extend their current apps to use the SmartWatch display and sensors.
Multi-touch color display: SmartWatch features a 1.3 inch OLED multi-touch display with 128 x 128 resolution and 65k colors. Multi-touch gestures allow for easy navigation between apps and the OLED color display is good for viewing your friend's avatars and photos.
Lightweight design: Made from aluminum and glossy plastics, the SmartWatch is surprisingly light. The watch only weighs 15.5g (0.55 oz) and the watchband is 26g (0.9 oz). When I'm wearing the watch, I can barely tell it's on my wrist.
Choose your own watchbands: The SmartWatch ships with a classic black wristband and Sony also sells five other colors including pink, mint, grey, white or blue. Furthermore, an included adapter allows you to use any 20mm wristband of your choice.
Battery Life: Sony advertises that the SmartWatch will last 3-4 days with typical usage, and up to 14 days standby. I found these claims to be accurate and the SmartWatch easily lasted 4 days between charges when I was using it.
Easy setup: I had the SmartWatch up and running within minutes of taking it out of the box. Sony LiveWare Manager allows you to connect to the device and manage your installed applications and widgets. LiveWare Manager also highlights the best SmartWatch applications and lets you search the Google Play Store to find new apps.
Compatible with numerous smartphones: The SmartWatch is compatible with and optimized for Sony Xperia phones, but it works with most devices that run Android 2.1 or higher and feature Bluetooth. I had no problems connecting to phones from HTC and Samsung. In my testing I found the SmartWatch also works with the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Software updates: Sony continues to improve the user experience of the device with updates to their SmartWatch app. Users download this app to their Android device and then it updates the firmware on the SmartWatch. Recent updates have expanded compatibility with new devices, provided a choice of watch faces, enhanced battery life, improved connectivity, and fixed various bugs.
The Not so Good
Display is hard to read in direct sunlight: I have no problems seeing the display in-doors, but I needed to shield the display to read it if I was outside in direct sunlight.
Does not pick up all system notifications: Sony has apps that relay most of the important notifications from your smartphone to the SmartWatch, but it does not pick up all system notifications. An app needs to be optimized for the SmartWatch in order to display notifications. Additional 3rd-party apps can pick up system notifications, but it would be nice if Sony could provide an official solution.
Final Words
The Sony SmartWatch is a keeper. Some users might be underwhelmed with the SmartWatch when they first set it up, but after it is personalized they will find a convenient device that can make their lives easier.
Every day I wear the SmartWatch, I'm finding new ways to take advantage of it. At first I was using it to discretely check emails when I was at the movie theater with my wife. Then I started using the incoming call notifications while I was driving to see if I needed to pull over and answer a call. Pre-defined text messages allow me to respond to my friends without ever taking my phone out of my pocket.
I soon discovered I could open the active notifications by pressing my nose to the SmartWatch display, which is great for those random times when you need hands-free operation (like changing a diaper). By installing additional apps I was able to find my lost phone in the couch, receive Instagram updates, get GPS navigation, view my gallery photos, and adjust my phone settings.
The Sony SmartWatch might look like a simple device, but it's quickly becoming one I don't want to leave the house without. It's fun to explore all the apps that are being released and I continue to be amazed when I discover all the use cases for the SmartWatch. I haven't wore a watch since I purchased my first cell phone, but the Sony SmartWatch has found a permanent home on my wrist.
Other reviewers have been pretty tough on the Sony SmartWatch, but I think a lot of their issues were related to older software that had some various bugs. Most of the complaints centered around connectivity and battery life, which were two things I had no problems with. The ecosystem of available apps continues to grow, so I think the users will find the SmartWatch more useful then when it first came out.
After getting to know the Sony SmartWatch, I would definitely recommend it to people with Android phones that are looking for a smartwatch. The initial experience might be limited, but the numerous apps really allow you to customize the device to you liking.

The body of Duncan Templer, 51, of Hillsboro, N.D., who apparently committed suicide in the Badlands south of Watford City in July, may have been found by hunters.
According to a news release from the McKenzie County Sheriff's Dept., on Sept. 28 hunters found the body of a deceased male, believed to be Templer, east of U.S. Highway 85 off of Forest Service Road 828.
Templer, who has been missing since July 24, had told members of his family that he intended to commit suicide in the Badlands.
After his semi truck was found parked in a scenic overlook 22 miles south of Watford City, an intensive search was conducted of the area. After a week of searching without finding Templer's body, the search was called off because of the rugged terrain in which the search was being conducted.
According to the news release, the Sheriff's Dept. believes that the body found is that of Templer. The body was found approximately three miles east of Templer's last known location.
There were no signs of foul play and the deceased body has been sent to the State Medical Examiner for positive identification.

Arcadia, CA, Sept. 17 -- Seriously-injured jockey Rene Douglas talks candidly about his life-changing accident on the next edition of HRTV's (TM) newsmagazine show, "Inside Information," which will air on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
Also featured on the show will be an entertaining retrospective on stretch-running equine legend, Silky Sullivan, as well as Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard.
In the piece, a number of Douglas's riding colleagues -- Eddie Razo, Jesse Campbell, Tim Thornton, E.T. Baird, and others -- openly discuss the impact Douglas's accident has had on each.
"For all the years I've been in Chicago, and all the success I've had," Douglas said. "One day can change everything."
"It's changed a lot of people's lives," offered Campbell. "But one thing I'm sure of...is that it changed a lot of people's lives for the better."
Few things captivate a racing fan more than a late-running horse gobbling up ground in the stretch. Over the years, the likes of Concern, Megahertz, and Vigors, were noted for their breath-taking rallies. Inevitably, many staunch closers are compared to the legendary, and very popular, Silky Sulllivan, who captured imaginations in the late 1950's. Often completely outrun in the early stages of a race, Silky Sullivan's electrifying late-runs made him a very popular Thoroughbred on the West Coast.
"It was electric," said Dan Smith, Del Mar's senior media coordinator. "And once word got out what type of horse he was, he was worth a lot of people at the (admission) gate."
Hall of Famer Jonathan Sheppard has crafted his reputation as one of the sport's greatest steeplechase trainers. In his 40-year career, Sheppard has been steeplechase racing's all-time money-winner, while leading in the standings for 18 consecutive years. While it's a well-founded reputation, Sheppard's success as a flat racer is sometimes overlooked.
He has also conditioned a number of top flat performers such as With Anticipation, Just As Well, Informed Decision, and 2008 Breeders' Cup champ, Forever Together.
"What's the difference between training a flat racer and a jumper?" Sheppard asked, rhetorically. "Basically nothing. All you're trying to do is keep them healthy, happy, and sound."

His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textures, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs—musical phrases associated with individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements. His advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres, greatly influenced the development of classical music; his Tristan und Isolde is sometimes described as marking the start of modern music.

Sony Teasing What's Next For Gran Turismo
The Gran Turismo series didn't make an appearance at the PlayStation 4's unveiling a few months back, but franchise developer Polyphony Digital clearly has something in store for the venerable racer. An invitation for a May 15 UK event celebrating Gran Turismo's 15th anniversary has just been sent out, and it teases the series' future.
The invitation says that GT mastermind Kazunori Yamauchi will host the event and "provide an update on the future of the Gran Turismo game..." We'll have to wait and see if this is an official announcement for Gran Turismo 6 or something else like a Prologue/demo release. Earlier this year (after the PS4 reveal) , SCEE executive Michael Denny, said that GT 6 would come out for the PS3 in 2013.
Sony also sent along the teaser trailer for the event below, which may or may not hold a clue or two. In it a real-life Nissan passes ghost cars on the famous Silverstone Circuit (where the event is being held), and the cars' license plates list off the different full-fledged GT titles. The trailers' sequential progression through past games at the end also seems to hint at GT 6. Given Denny's previous comment (made after the PS4 reveal), we wonder what system (or both) this next Gran Turismo game will come out on.
Please come back next week when Yamauchi hopefully tells all.

Denver, CO - 1/30/2014 - Quark Software Inc. was among the select companies that Forrester Research, Inc. invited to participate in its January 2014 report, "The Forrester Wave™: Document Output For Customer Communications Management, Q1 2014." For the report Forrester evaluated 11 document output for customer communication management (DOCCM) vendors across 26 criteria. In this evaluation, Quark was cited as a contender in document output for customer communications management.
According to the report, a contender offers "price and service alternatives," and "may be a good fit for enterprises looking to solve specific DOCCM problems."
Excerpt from the Forrester DOCCM Wave report:
"Quark offers unique alternatives as a contender. Quark has extended its desktop tools to a range of e-publishing use cases. They do not focus on typical letter and statement generation but rather on high-value documents (revenue generating, regulatory, or branded content such as research reports, product data sheets, mutual fund fact) with advanced online experiences."

Adult Frog Hopper
"Frog Hoppers are ranked under the homopterous sub-order of insects. The name of frog hopper refers partly to the form of their body, partly to their leaping powers, which are great; this power arises from the length of their hind legs. The larva of these insects, which resembles the parent in most respects except in the want of wings, envelops itself in a froth resembling human spittle. All must have often observed ths on plants."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

It's difficult to discern whether Lisa Kellner's silk installations are natural or intrusive, peaceful or menacing. Her delicate fabric structures resemble jellyfish or coral as much as something cancerous or viral. Kellner's work intentionally inhabits this duality. Each installation is made out of silk – a medium that is at once organic but also extremely strong. Her sculptures illustrate the curious path of growth organic matter can take. Lisa Kellner says of her artwork:
"The quickest path from point a to point b is a straight line. But nature is filled with curves and crevices. And human nature always seems to prefer a more circuitous path. Whatever means are chosen, the journey one takes presents a perfect painting problem: what is the essence of a moment that took everything to get there?."
