Native Action Network statement on the passing of Elouise Cobell
Posted: Tuesday, October 18, 2011
The following is a statement from the Native Action Network. Native Action Network joins the country as we mourn the loss of an extraordinary and inspiring leader in Indian Country, Elouise Cobell. A tireless advocate for justice, Elouise dedicated her life to serving her community, her Tribe, and her nation. Her efforts to seek justice and truth in the federal land trust settlement resulted in a landmark case that has been praised by our nation's highest officials. Just last month, Native Action Network presented the prestigious Sister Spirit Award to Elouise Cobell. This award was created in 2006 to recognize women forging new paths and new directions for Native People. To date, only 3 women have received this Sister Spirit Award. Elouise Cobell, a distinguished Native woman will be an inspiration for generations of women and young girls to follow their values; to seek the truth; to fight for equity; and to rise above the deterrents they may face. She will be remembered for her joyous laughter, her hard fought settlement, and her determination to improve the lives of her community. Our thoughts and prayers go to her family and to all of Indian Country who will miss this amazing woman.

The Virginia Tech Hokies' men's basketball program hosted their opening media day of the fall today with the central question surrounding the status of Ahmed Hill. However, the Hokies announced some news that one player will be redshirting this fall due to a medical condition.
#Hokies coach Buzz Williams said transfer Ty Outlaw (Lee College) won't play this year because of a medical condition. He will redshirt.
— Mike Barber (@RTD_MikeBarber) October 12, 2015
It is unknown what the medical condition is that will keep JUCO transfer Ty Outlaw from playing this fall, but hopefully it isn't too bad to the point that it could derail his college basketball career before it really starts.
The Hokies had a loaded backcourt, and Outlaw was going to be in a tough competition for playing time. Redshirting Outlaw will give him a year to adjust to the jump from junior college to ACC-level basketball though that jump does not seem as hard as the jump from high school to college.
Outlaw projected to be a small forward or fourth guard for the Hokies depending on how small of a lineup the Hokies wanted to go with. Outlaw is kind of in the same size mold as Justin Bibbs and Chris Clarke, but Outlaw's redshirt will mean that Bibbs and Clarke will get more playing time with Bibbs being a likely starter and Clarke possibly also.
Outlaw was one of the top JUCO recruits, and is someone that Buzz Williams will want to get 100% over the course of the year to get him ready for next season. Outlaw will have to fight for a role in the future, but all signs are that he has the talent to compete with what is a congested backcourt.
The goal for Ty Outlaw will be to get healthy for next season, and follow the Buzz Williams motto of getting better throughout his redshirt year. We will have to wait a season to see how good Outlaw can be for the Hokies.

Sanchez revives old dance styles at SMC
As the clock neared ten a group of eager students crammed inside the dance room to participate in the special master class led by professional "punking" and "wacking" teacher Anna Sanchez on Thursday, April 28. Anna Sanchez has been teaching dance classes since 1989 and her specialty is punking and wacking.
"My brother used to practice his dance moves with me when I was young and he'd throw me and spin me and I just loved it. When I was 15 years old I would sneak in the clubs and practice the dances I learned and I really fell in love with punking when these two professional dancers, Tinker and Arthur, entered a contest and they really brought out the songs and I liked the attitude," said Sanchez.
The style of dance Sanchez teaches originated in LA and was introduced in the mid 1900's. This style of dance is all about behavior and attitude and "riding the beat."
"It's all about emotion and using what you got. If you aren't using your clothes then take it off. I remember when Tinker took his belt off and whipped it around and rolled it through his tongue. It's a real shocker," said Sanchez.
This type of dance does not have any particular moves that would isolate it from other styles of dance because it incorporates traits from other genres but it does, however, use a lot of arm movement and rolling of the wrists. There is a formula that helps break down the form of punking and wacking. Punking comes first, which mainly focuses on gestures such as rapid wrists movements and emotional acting, then posing to create a dramatic reaction, followed by wacking which is all about the bigger movements. The trick to perfecting this style of dance is to know many forms of dance to incorporate.
SMC dance student Ahreum Cho has taken three semesters of dance classes and was excited to learn this new style.
"I've been dancing for one year and the class that I am in is a modern and ballet dance class. This is the third master class this semester and it's very different from the modern and free movement master classes," said Cho.
There is no specific genre of music that goes hand in hand with punking and wacking, but generally hip-hop and other energy filled songs are more befitting. Dancer Libby Marquis is very familiar with the underground style of dance.
"I learned this type of dance from watching movies and music videos and from my family. It's mostly danced to hip-hop and it's really all about attitude," said Marquis.
There are a lot of transitions and tight, rapid movements that, when mixed with strong facial emotion and attitude, produce what is known as punking and wacking. Aside from this style of dance, Sanchez also teaches locking, a style that is characterized by wrist rolling, control, and precise stops.
"I'm a specialty choreographer which means I only choreograph part of the dance. I've worked with Tina Turner, Diana Ross, and I choreographed 'Over My Head' with Toni Basil," said Sanchez.
Sanchez currently teaches at Evolution Dance Studios twice a month, and is in the process of starting lessons at a nightclub in Hollywood where students can learn a certain style of dance, and then practice it all night on the dance floor.

Discussion in 'General Airgun Chat' started by Scoch, Jan 13, 2010.
If anyone has one can they tell me the minimum parallax setting on the sidewheel please.
50 if I recall. Easy to get it down to where you want it though!
the fixed 10x40 comes down real close, but not sure if this is the same
They're really easy to re px Steve.
Im presuming if you re px you can still adjust the sidewheel, it just starts at a different distance.
Is it just unscrew the end and wind the lens, never tried it and sounds a bit brutal.
Not brutal at all Steve I've had two which have come undone by hand. The side wheel still works so no worries there I use mine on my hunting rifle and it's good out to 200 odd yard on max.

I have a lot of respect for the work of the Georgia State University Economic Forecasting Center and the organization's director, Rajeev Dhawan.
We certainly can't dismiss out of hand their recent projections that job growth in Savannah and in the state as a whole will be essentially flat in 2012.
But I see many reasons to think the local economy will outperform the 0.4 percent job growth that Dhawan is predicting this year for Savannah.
For several years now I've been taking the under whenever forecasters issued their economic predictions.
The sometimes-rosy forecasts just didn't adequately take into account the various economic headwinds, especially those from the housing bust. After construction fell off a cliff and household wealth plummeted along with stocks and home prices, there was simply no way we were going to see a quick recovery.
However, as I noted weeks ago in my own column predicting a somewhat brighter 2012, there is considerable reason for optimism — even with the continued drag from housing and the looming threats from Europe and from rising gas prices.
As we enter 2012, it looks like our largest employers are in good shape. New businesses have had an easier time finding funding than in recent years.
Plus there's been a great DIY spirit among some entrepreneurs.
In recent weeks, we've seen the announcement of major plans to redevelop the Backus Cadillac property and to create a new hotel in an underutilized property overlooking the river.
We've seen the opening of new establishments in a couple of prominent downtown vacancies.
And it looks like we're going to see local government spending increase over the next year.
Don't be alarmed by that.
The spending will be of money that has already been collected through the voter-approved special purpose local option sales tax.
The new fire station at Whitaker and 32nd streets is well under way, and in the coming months we'll see other government-funded construction projects get rolling.
If you were downtown last Saturday, I'm sure you noticed the surge in visitors attracted by the Savannah Irish Festival, Savannah Book Festival, a SCAD visitation day and the Southern Women's Show, in addition to weekend tourists lured by the city's charm and promotional acumen.
There's also been a palpable change in attitude of late. It feels like we're not just treading water, but are actually getting somewhere.
Now, I'm the first to raise warning flags when forecasters start focusing on confidence rather than hard data. Our economy is still fragile, and it's entirely possible that a constellation of factors will result in the stagnant local job growth that Dhawan predicts.
But, for a change, I'm taking the over.
I'm less optimistic — far less — about the prospects for the state as a whole.
East Broad seems a good fit for Central
We're finally starting to get a little clarity about the future locations of existing metro police department precincts.
The most recent decision in that process is an encouraging one.
The Central Precinct on Bull Street near 32nd Street might be moving to East Broad Street near Waldburg.
In plans developed under previous leadership of the city and the police department, the Central Precinct would have moved to Waters Avenue near the precinct's eastern edge. It would have shared a building with the Downtown Precinct.
Even before the Waters Avenue property was deemed inadequate for the project, the plan never seemed like a strong one to me. It was good news for Waters Avenue, but not for the neighborhoods that now house those precincts.
I can understand the argument that precinct locations don't matter if officers are out on patrol, but immediate neighborhoods around precincts obviously get extra scrutiny. I live adjacent to the current Central Precinct, and the streets around me are literally seen hundreds of times a day by law enforcement.
Thinking selfishly, I'm sorry that the precinct is moving.
But the current building is inadequate for the Central Precinct's needs, and the new location needs those extra eyes on the street a lot more than my neighbors and I do.
On East Broad, the precinct would look directly out on a neighborhood that has at times been plagued with street crime — sometimes petty, sometimes serious.
The only problem that I can see with the East Broad location is the fact that the street is one-way at that point. It doesn't become two-way until a few blocks north at Gwinnett Street.
It would obviously make sense to extend the two-way portion farther south, but I don't know if officials will be eager to fight that battle after the long, long process that led to the transformation of Price Street.
But that's a minor issue compared to the long-term benefits of moving the Central Precinct to a new building on East Broad.

text: DELTA MAE HELBIG DELTA MAE HELBIG Delta Mae Helbig passed away on November 12, 2012, in Honolulu. Delta was a longtime resident of Oahu, having moved to the Territory of Hawaii in 1954. Delta was born in Syracuse, Kansas, on May 16, 1922. She moved with her mother and sister to the Bay Area in California, prior to World War II, where she worked for the Standard Oil Company. During the war, Delta was employed at the Department of the Navy at Treasure Island, working, like so many Americans of her generation, in support of the country's war effort. She married Ray Helbig in 1945 and they, with their two children, Bill and Thea, moved to Honolulu, where they had acquired an interest in the Hawaiian Service Inc., a local publishing and wholesale company. Delta worked tirelessly with her husband, Ray, to raise their family, and to help make Hawaiian Service the success that it was. Her accounts included the Kahala Hilton and Sea Life Park, where she had many friends. She was also an avid golfer playing at Waialae and Hawaii Kai. She also volunteered for the Red Cross, Scouting and Maryknoll School. Delta had been a resident of Maunalani Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for several years. She was cared for by the staff of this facility, as well as her devoted husband, Ray, until his death in 2010. The family wishes much aloha to all our friends at Maunalani as well as Kayoko Wong and the Meier family, who did so much over the years. Her son, Bill, also preceded her in death. Delta is survived by her daughter, Thea Coats, her son-in-law, Wilson, her two granddaughters, Mattie Mae and Virginia Ray, her grandson-in-law, George, as well as 6 nephews and their families, who live on the west coast. Memorial gifts may be made to Bill Helbig, Jr., Aloha Memorial Scholarship Fund at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon.

Secondhand Smoke
Secondhand Smoke is the smoke that is exhaled or comes off burning tobacco, which is then inhaled by others, including nearby non-smokers and pets.
Secondhand smoke causes approximately 7,330 deaths from lung cancer and 33,950 deaths from heart disease each year.
Secondhand smoke contains 7,000 chemicals, and at least 70 are known to cause cancer.
Exposure to secondhand smoke is known to cause heart attacks, strokes, and lung cancer.
It is impossible to prevent cigarette smoke from filtering through the walls between units.
Secondhand smoke can infiltrate into other units through hallways and stairwells.
There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.
Who it affects:
Chemical components of tobacco smoke impact fetal brain development in all stages of pregnancy.
Babies exposed to secondhand smoke are at an increased risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Children who breathe secondhand smoke are more likely to have lung problems, ear infections, and worse asthma from being around smoke.
Pets breathing secondhand smoke are three times more likely to develop cancer and breathing problems.
Thirdhand Smoke
Thirdhand smoke is the harmful residue that clings to virtually all indoor surfaces long after the secondhand smoke from a cigarette has cleared out.
Components found in thirdhand smoke have been proven to cause DNA damage.
The residue that is thirdhand smoke can react with household cleaning chemicals to create carcinogens and release them into the air.
Even if you can no longer smell the smoke, thirdhand smoke is still present.
There is no way to get rid of thirdhand smoke.

"As an entrepreneur in Argentina, you're lucky if you can get an institution to write you a loan. But when they do, interest rates often fall between 45 – 55%," says Antonio Zavalia, Director and Co-Founder of Bondarea. "Who can afford to take out a loan at those rates?" Bondarea is remedying the lack of available or affordable loans to small businesses and individuals in Argentina through their peer-to-peer lending website and software.
What's the difference between peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding? While both are trying to solve capital related problems, small businesses that use crowdfunding techniques are selling a product. In return for contributing, funders receive a perk or product from the entrepreneur. When it comes to peer-to-peer financing, "entrepreneurs or individuals can ask for microloans. Loanees then bid to lend some or all of the requested loan at an interest rate dictated by the loanee." This way, if an entrepreneur needed a loan of 16,000 Argentine Pesos, he could auction off his loan and several loanees could offer to lend different amounts at different rates. The entrepreneur could also decide to turn down an offered loan if the interest rate was not agreeable.
Overall, the average interest rate on Bondarea is 32.5%. "Competition among bids drives interest rates down," says Antonio. While that might sound scary to an entrepreneur in the States, that's a lot cheaper than going to a bank (interest rates fall between 45-55%). After two years in business, Bondarea says that the total percentage of late payments (those more than 30 days) is about 0.6% (only a fraction of its comparable number at local financial institutions) and to date, and no one has failed to pay back the loans.
Antonio believes that these low numbers are due in part to the credit screening done by Bondarea. "It's a mix of the backward looking factors found in the U.S. FICO score and forward looking factors, which judges how attractive a loan can be to potential loanees." Bondarea screens each entrepreneur or individual before allowing him/her to auction off the requested loan.
However, it's the software-as-a-service side of their business that is the most scalable and has the highest potential to affect entrepreneurs and individuals in need of a loan. "We sell the software used on our peer-to-peer lending platform to NGOs in Argentina, so they can more effectively and efficiently run their own community peer-to-peer lending programs."
Overall, through both their peer-to-peer lending platform and software, Antonio says they've funded roughly 400 to 500 businesses, adding up to 6 million pesos (about 600,000 USD at the Argentine official rate) worth of loans. That's a huge impact!
The biggest growth challenge for Bondarea is that, "people are scared to borrow or lend money in the current economic and political context… especially to a company that isn't a household brand. It's tough. However, as we build up a reputation for finding good credits and ensuring low borrowing costs, new users come to our platform in greater numbers." And yet, at the same time the lack of available loans means that there is a real potential for growth for Bondarea as both a lending platform and software.

North Americans can easily lose sight of the basics, which I was reminded of during a recent trip to Egypt. I had the privilege of working on a Value-Chain Training project focused on strengthening agricultural technical high schools, through Egyptian faculty members who train teachers integrate workforce preparation skills with state-mandated curriculum. A colleague from Michigan State University and I provided a three-day workshop, along with developing a marketing communications plan to build greater awareness of this USAID MUCIA program.
As is the case with most developing countries, Egypt was a study of contrasts. 95%+ of their population residing on 5% of the land. Vast miles of desert rising out of the sea and the Nile. Multiple international degrees at universities while some rural areas face 50% illiteracy. Millions of Egyptian pounds brought in by the Suez Canal each month while imported goods bear a 40%+ tariff. The incredible historical significance of a society 5000 years old, yet without the infrastructure to support the current population.
Returning back to the U.S. culture showcases the glaring issues of materialism, information overload and instant gratification. Don't get me wrong; I'm as red, white and blue as you can be. However, I have to wonder how much of our time and energy is wasted on issues that don't really compare to those of other countries. Perhaps the U.S. would benefit from a return to the basics instead of being driven by greed, litigation and watchdogs. After all, our residents rarely have to worry about adequate food supply or potable water. If our food is being produced with integrity of the people, land, and animals we benefit from, it would seem agriculturists are doing what needs to be done – even if that's different from 50 or 100 years ago. When was the last time you shared that message? It seems to me that the disconnect of people from food production isn't necessarily progress; it's going to be up to agriculture to re-connect our culture with their agriculture.
And, to my friends in Egypt, thanks for your incredible hospitality. Your work in agricultural education and workforce development is inspirational!

Five top methods of poker learning
It's often said of NLHE that 'it takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master'. The point of this phrase is that you can never learn everything about poker. Don't think of playing good poker as a destination that you get to - rather as an ongoing journey that you're committed to making so you can constantly improve and build on your game. As you move up to the higher stakes, you will up against better and better players, which means learning and evolving as a poker player becomes even more important.
So we're going to list here five key ways you can learn and grow as a poker player
1) Reading - there is a wealth of poker books on the market written by winning poker professionals. Whatever your preferred game, there are some excellent books available covering poker strategy and psychology. Commit to having one poker book on the go at all times and make sure you implement what you're learning.
2) Hire a poker coach - getting yourself a coach is one of the most profitable decisions you will make as a player. A poker coach will take an objective view to analysing your game and identifying leaks. They can teach you to play consistently profitable poker. The money spent will easily be regained as your poker improves.
3) Join a poker training site - poker training sites are a great way to tap into a big knowledge base. Most of them are based on you paying a monthly subscription in return for accessing a large amount of training and strategy videos. These normally also have a members forum where you can discuss hands and strategy. The great thing about these sites is you can watch the training videos in your own time whenever suits. It's a great idea to commit to watching one training/strategy video every day or every other day.
4) Self analyse your game with poker software - there is now a wide range of poker software on the market for you to choose from. At a basic level you can download Universal Replayer (free), which you can use to graphically replay your hand histories. This gives you a way of assessing your play and spotting leaks and areas for improvement. Poker Stove is also recommended, this is again free, and allows to see the odds of a given hand winning in a given situation.
However, if you're really committed to improving your poker game, you'll almost certainly want to consider a poker analytics package such as Holdem Manager or Poker Office. These give the benefit of real-time opponent statistics being displayed whilst you play (through a 'headsup display') as well as a whole suite of reports and analytics you can look at inbetween poker sessions. It's a good idea to spend at least some time each day going over hands you've played to see your strengths and weaknesses.
5) Participate in a poker forum - there are quite a few worldwide poker forums now which are popular. Participating in them is a two way thing - can you get knowledge and tips from other people (e.g by posting hands you've played for feedback) but also passing on your own knowledge to other players.
In poker you can never know everything or have a perfect game. To be a successful, consistently profiting poker player you must commit to ongoing learning as part of your game. See it as something you must do as well as playing. Active learning means your game will be constantly evolving and improving as will the edge you have over opponents that don't invest so much in learning.

The summer is well and truly here and for a lot of companies this means more footfall and more sales.
What this peak season also means for a lot of your visitors is staff who are flustered, agitated, producing lower customer service standards (NPS scores) and higher queue times. Shoppers which visit stores will get answers from staff such as, 'Sorry, we're really busy – be with you in a minute!', 'We're a person down today.' or worse…
People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?'
– Philip Green, Chairman of the Arcadia Group
You don't need to sacrifice your NPS score in busier periods though. Companies often plan to prevent failure, but so often don't have a plan to maximise success. This post will provide a few helpful tips for getting the most out of your busy store peak periods and make ensure your customers receive a better service.
The first thing any company should do when facing an issue is get data. If you know what's happening in your stores, you will be in a better position to target underperforming areas and processes.
Retail Analytics is really taking off with an increasing number of retailers getting on board. For those of you who aren't familiar with retail analytics, it's like having Google Analytics but for your shops. It helps you understand more about your visitors – which can never be a bad thing in terms of optimising their shopping experience.
I recommend you take a look at companies such as Walkbase who will be able to help you get valuable data on your store activity and work with you to improve the service you offer to customers.
There are typically 2 main problem areas in stores:
- Lack of service when visitors have a question on a product/service
- The long wait in the queue to purchase your product/service
Fortunately, technology can help with both of these areas.
Lack of service
When it comes to lack of service, there are many things you can do. Some stores have deployed iPads for customers to use for product research purposes. Evans Cycles' store in Gatwick has a few PC terminals so visitors can browse their website for info in store. Some retailers are taking this a stage further by having screens near products and when customers lift the product, the screen springs to life; displaying reviews, promo videos and other useful content.
When stores get busy, focus on enabling your customers, not your staff. When stores are quieter, enable your staff.
Long queue times
Solving the issue of long queue times is also quite straightforward. The biggest tip is not to focus on serving the customer at the front and focus on serving customers as a whole.
The age old tip of 'queue running' helps massively – this is where a member of staff will prepare products for people waiting in the queue. This does 2 main things:
- Makes the service at the till more prompt
- Raises the commitment from the customer (they are less likely to abandon their purchase if it's prepped for them behind the till)
Ensuring your customers can pay for their items efficiently is critical. Don't wait for your competitors to make the most of technology and then copy them – reap the rewards from early implementation. Technologies on the till such as self-checkout and contactless payment are a couple of great examples of how technology can speed up a customer's purchase process. Furthermore, with more customers being enabled at the checkout, there will be more staff resource to assist wherever else they are required.
Key Takeaway
Online shopping continues to grow for many benefits, but it's undeniable that one of the predominant reasons is because it is convenient. Many shops are struggling because they haven't adapted as and evolved as much as online stores.
Make the most of technology to optimise and automate processes – improving your visitors' shopping experience.
Over to you!
As always, it's your turn – How are you using technology to improve the experience of shoppers? Do you disagree with anything I've mentioned above?

We have had some fantastic meetings and talks with such great folk over the past weeks. I has been a real privilege to speak to people of both Christian and Muslim faiths in churches, homes and sometimes in the street and to be able to share something of the plight of children in crisis in the Holy Land and of ACIC's response to that situation. An enormous thank you to all who have listened, offered help and opinion and to those who have generously chosen to financially support the children.

You needn't spend a fortune to get a good gaming mouse. A finances of below $50 should suffice even for FPS, RTS, or MOBA gamers. mjkearn, A lot of people get fooled by the test engine gentle and end up spending hundreds of dollars in unnecessary repair payments. It means lots to me that a knowledgeable car mechanic equivalent to you has given his seal of approval on what I wrote. Thanks for such a pleasant remark, for the vote up and for following me too. In tab #1 I would like ALL the entries to be green, that is all of the spying turned off. So I just click the Immunize button at the bottom of the page.
Thanks for the remark, Lawrence Da-vid. I bear in mind such laptop associated phrases as MSDOS and Cobol. I even wrote a program or two in Cobol, a chic language, a minimum of it was 30 years ago! Also, the first laptop I used on the workplace was a Primary 4, the scale of a refrigerator and very impressive for its time. Computer systems are fascinating, aren't they? Later!
THE HISTORICAL PAST Of computer systems is usually instructed as a history of objects, from the abacus to the Babbage engine up by the code-breaking machines of World Struggle II. Actually, it's better understood as a history of ideas, primarily ideas that emerged from mathematical logic, an obscure and cult-like self-discipline that first developed within the nineteenth century. Mathematical logic was pioneered by thinker-mathematicians, most notably George Boole and Gottlob Frege, who have been themselves impressed by Leibniz's dream of a universal concept language," and the ancient logical system of Aristotle.
Great Janet! So long as you keep on with the technical recommendations, as I see you clearly understood, your son needs to be very proud of it. Please report back right here with a touch upon the outcome. The Ameriwood House Dakota L-Shaped desk comes in at beneath $seventy five. It's sturdy, has loads of room, and several other types to select from. Life is a thought, or a dream, and not a simulation. However because it is ultimately only an abstraction it is for a materialist very appealing to assume it's a simulation, generated by a factor, something material.
Suppose I try to bear in mind one thing. I haven't got to carry it in my mind, I can write it down in a notebook. So my reminiscence is stored there. Even I am developing a AGI that has emotional states and common sense as its cognitive core. There's quite a lot of quite-substantial evidence that can't be fit into any generally accepted framework. Should you take even an a hour to learn a historical past of science you will notice that again and again, extremely-esteemed authorities making realized proclamations to all, can be so very fallacious. You could have taken no time to account for this chance. This marks you as a third-charge scientist and observer. Heads up.

17.3 is more DBs! Just kidding.../
If you love to snatch, this workout is for you. The DBs are gone for at least a week, but 17.3 will test your skill, strength, speed - even your math skills to follow the rep scheme. For some, this will be an 8 minute workout. For the elite, this will last a LOT longer!
Prior to 8:00, complete: 3 rounds of: 6 CTB Pullups 6 squat snatches (95 / 65 lb.) Then, 3 rounds of: 7 CTB Pullups 5 squat snatches (135 / 95 lb.) *Prior to 12:00, 3 rounds of: 8 CTB Pullups 4 squat snatches (185 / 135 lb.) *Prior to 16:00, 3 rounds of: 9 CTB Pullups 3 squat snatches (225 / 155 lb.) *Prior to 20:00, 3 rounds of: 10 CTB Pullups 2 squat snatches (245 / 175 lb.) Prior to 24:00, 3 rounds of: 11 CTB Pullups 1 squat snatch (265 / 185 lb.) *If all reps are completed, time cap extends by 4 minutes. Scaled: (Ages 16-54) Jumping chin-over-bar pull-ups Men use 45-75-95-115-135-155 lb. Women use 35-55-65-75-95-105 lb. Masters 55+: Chin-over-bar pull-ups Men use 75-105-135-155-185-205 lb. Women use 45-75-95-115-135-155 lb. For scaled and Masters, power snatches with OHS permitted
Predictor: 46 of you made a guess (18 Ultimates, 15 Mambas, 13 2Fitters). 65% of you expected DUs, and about 1/2 of you included wall balls and/or deadlifts. But only 7 included CTB pull-ups, and only 3 guesses had snatches. Two of those guesses belong to Tushar. Unfortunately, he tried to read the tea leaves in Dave Castro's "clue" picture, and changed his prediction to NOT include the CTBs his first guess had. Tough luck, Tushar! So the 3 Prediction points go to Alfredo of the Ultimates! He had snatches and CTBs, and we'll forget about the rowing and HSPUs he also included :-p
House Cuppers - you guys have stepped up the Spirit game this week, and we've noticed. Instead of 6 points being up for grabs each week, from now on we're upping it to 20 possible points! So keep it going, and remember to NOMINATE people for their spirit - otherwise it won't matter how funny their Facebook post was. The nomination form goes up here on the UB blog on Fridays at 5pm.
Tips for this week:
- For many of us, the squat snatch tests the limits of our mobility. Hips/lats/pecs are just a few common problem areas. Give yourself prep time to mobilize all your parts.
- Get plenty of snatch warmup before you do this. This is not a wod to "warm up as you go." Get your technique locked in and your confidence high before you start.
- There's a huge mental component to high-volume, heavy snatching. If there's ever a wod to do a little visualization/meditation beforehand, this is it. Coach Jay specializes in that type of thing, if you want his advice!
- Read the Movement Standards, especially around the squat snatch for those going Rx.
- Finally, if snatches AREN'T your thing, remember that the Open is 5 weeks. Look back at any prior Open and tell me there wasn't at least one workout that you'd be bummed about. Put out your best effort, pat yourself on the back for doing it at all, and look forward to what's still in store!
PR POINTS - hit a snatch PR during 17.3, and earn a PR point for your team! Make sure to tell your judge before your heat starts that hitting one of the weights will be a PR.
Remember, 5/6pm classes on Fridays are CANCELLED. We'll run heats of 17.3 starting at 5pm. Come in, sign up for a heat, warm yourself up, hit the workout, then stay for the next heat to judge. You DO NOT have to be in the House Cup or registered for the Open in order to participate. Stay around as long as you like! Open Fridays at UB are epic :-)

A subscription to Publisher's Marketplace is a great way to stay up to date on what's happening in the world of publishing, including the latest news of book deals – what publishers are paying as advances for specific books.
I love the way Publisher's Marketplace classifies their deal information. Here's the key they use:
"nice deal" $1 – $49,000
"very nice deal" $50,000 – $99,000
"good deal" $100,000 – $250,000
"significant deal" $251,000 – $499,000
"major deal" $500,000 and up
In this week's Fab Freelance Writing Ezine, which has just gone out to subscribers, I included the article "Writing Books As A Dream Home Business". You can see why that's so by the key above if you're lucky enough to get a "significant deal" or a "major deal".
(If you missed this week's issue I'll be putting it online at the ezine's archives site in the next day or two.) The article's also online for members of my book writer's site.
Many book publishing agreements are structured as multi-book deals, as you can see from this deal mentioned in Publisher's Lunch:
Screenwriter Andrew Klavan's HOMELANDERS, pitched as Twenty Four meets The Bourne Identity; homeless, broke, and unable to find his parents, a teenager has to outrun both terrorists and the law with only a few days to stop the murder of the Secretary of State in a race against time that brings him face-to-face with a master assassin, to Amanda Bostic at Thomas Nelson, in a four-book deal, by Alyssa Eisner Henkin and Robert Gottlieb at Trident Media Group (NA).
This means not only that you should be thinking of your novel as potentially the start of a series, but also that you need to get writing and keep writing. You may find that when your first book sells, the publisher is interested in giving you a multi-book deal; so it's essential that you have at least an outline or a couple of chapters of your next book to offer.

Published Document
In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.
BNSF Railway Company and Ferrocarril Mexican Railway Company
The BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) and Ferrocarril Mexican Railway Company (FXE) seek a test waiver of compliance from the requirements of 49 CFR 232.205 Class I Brake Test, Initial terminal inspection; 232.409—Inspection and testing of end-of-train devices; and 215.13—Pre-departure Inspection. This test waiver is necessary to allow tests and inspections conducted at Rio Escondido and Start Printed Page 65398Torreon, Mexico, by FXE on northbound unit trains to be considered valid for run-through trains interchanged with BNSF at Eagle Pass, Texas, and bound for Temple, Texas. FXE Carmen will perform all Class 1 initial terminal inspections and repairs, and will comply with all parts of 49 CFR 232 and 215, as well as all applicable Association of American Railroads interchange rules. With this test waiver, BNSF and FXE seek to establish to FRA's satisfaction that cross-border commerce can be safely increased by eliminating the congestion of traffic that presently occurs at the border.
BNSF and FXE expect to demonstrate, with this test waiver, that Class 1 initial terminal inspections performed in Mexico by FXE carmen are equally on par with Class 1 initial terminal inspections performed by U.S. railroads to comply with Federal regulation. BNSF and FXE state that the available inspection track on the U.S. side of the border is rudimentary at best with no option for expansion from adjacent landholders, while work environment enhancements are offered at FXE's Rio Escondido and Torreon facilities.
The FXE Rio Escondido facility is a new and modern facility built to facilitate international rail commerce, equipped with the latest in freight car repair technology and tooling, and is staffed with trained and motivated employees. BNSF estimates risk in the work environment is halved by performing inspections and repairs at Rio Escondido or Torreon, as compared to the present U.S. facility.
Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for their request.
All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-0126) and may be submitted by any of the following methods:
- Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
- Fax: 202-493-2251.
- Mail: Docket Operations Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590.
- Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
Communications received within 45 days of the date of this notice will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be considered as far as practicable. All written communications concerning these proceedings are available for examination during regular business hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) at the above facility.

Conducting rope rescue trainings in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison is always a treat. What incredible terrain! And only 1-2 hours from Ouray depending on which rim you choose to visit.
This past weekend, we did a workshop for some of the Black Canyon volunteer SAR personnel who support the ranger cadre in their rescue calls. The Black Canyon has vast terrain, but a modest amount of staffing given the scale and scope of their rescue call-outs. So the volunteer team -plus neighboring county SAR teams like Ouray Mountain Rescue -assist, when asked.
The focus of the workshop was long lowers/raises, use of artificial high directionals, knot passing techniques including change-of-direction pulleys, and scene size-up strategies for large-scale operations. The rigging at the rim level typically includes a very abbreviated work space in-line from the edge. Therefore, embracing the COD is a key to creating adequate work space for big raises. Focusing the pulley system ratchet location 30+ meters away from the edge is not uncommon. However, this brings into the mix other tricks of the trade like extending the DCD forward from that point for the initial lower – this aids in a compact start to the operation for good comms and visual of the edge transition by all operators.
The team at the Black regularly uses an artificial high directional. It doesn't need to be carried far, as the access roads parallel the rim of the canyon on both sides of the gorge. We talked about the benefits of "both ropes high" in the AHD, under the condition that you eliminate any real possibility of toppling the device. The only way to guarantee that is to pin it to the the ground with guying lines/anchors. A properly rigged AHD remains stable under compressive forces, but changes in terrain and attendant movements can alter that stability – pinning it provides proper security, if the anchor points are readily available. Otherwise – absent easy pinning options – keep one line lower to be conservative in your AHD rigging.
The Black Canyon is a great example of specific Mission Profile parameters. Just like any rope rescue team, you should not expect to "copy/paste" your solutions from your neighbor or a research paper. Think critically and embrace the concept that each and every team has specific Mission Profile considerations unique to their terrain, personnel, and equipment.

Watch the Video Tutorial
This is what our final layout is going to look like. Note how everything in the layout lines up with grid we've established in the document setup.
Go File > New in InDesign. We'll create a single-page document with:
- No facing pages
- 3 columns
- 9 point gutters (0p9)
- 21 point margins (1p9)
- 9 point bleeds (0p9)
This is an explanation of point, picas and inches.
Using Fonts
This document uses two typefaces: Myriad Pro for titles and Minion Pro for body copy.
Myriad Pro is a sans-serif typeface. It's best used for headlines. Minion Pro is a serif typeface. It's great for body copy. This is a good general rule: sans-serif fonts for titles and serif fonts for long lengths of text.
We need to activate these two fonts on the Adobe Fonts web site. You'll need to be logged in with your Adobe ID.
The What, Why & How of Style Sheets
Style sheets allow you to store the appearance settings of text in a central location called either a paragraph style or a character style.
The greatest benefit of style sheets is that you can change their settings, then all the text that has that style applied changes automatically. The beauty of this is the speed that changes can be made. Also, the lack of manual, one-off edits makes for fewer user-errors and omissions.
Paragraph Vs. Character Styles
Paragraph Styles are so called because they only apply to whole paragraphs of text. You cannot make one word italic with a Paragraph Style. That's what Character Styles are for.
The rule for deciding which to use is to default to Paragraph Styles until they can't do what you want them to. Never use Character Styles unless you're styling letters within a paragraph. Otherwise, forget they exist.
Character Styles are only used to style elements within a block, not the whole block itself.
Character styles are most often used from within paragraph styles. These are called nested styles. Character styles may be nested in different ways. There are InDesign's actual Nested Styles, there are Grep Styles and others. We use these because applying Character Styles manually is very tedious.
Paragraph Style Sheets
What is a Paragraph?
Most of the work we need to do to create this layout is simply creating paragraph styles, then applying them to the text.
Paragraph styles can only style whatever is between to Pilcrow ¶ characters.
To InDesign, what follows is a paragraph.¶
The letter Z above is a paragraph, according to InDesign, because there's a Pilcrow before and after it.
Setting Base Styles
Formatting text in InDesign can either be a headache or a pleasure. We'll give you the tools you need to make styling text quick and error-free.
Before we can start formatting the document text, we need to create a few base paragraph styles.
Edit Basic Paragraph
In all InDesign documents, there's a Basic Paragraph Style. It's the default stylesheet that applies to all text as it's brought into InDesign. It's a good idea to change its font and size to the size of your planned Body Copy style.
Paragraph Styles inherit properties from parent paragraph styles. We're going to create underlying serif and sans-serif styles. Each will have only minimal styling, including the font selection and not much else. The base serif style is the Basic Paragraph Style. We'll create a new stylesheet for the Base Sans.
This makes it that you can change a font across a whole document by changing only this one stylesheet. As an example. If all of your titles are styled in Myriad Pro.
You'll base all of your sans-serif styles on your Base Sans. If your client (or your teacher) then asks you to change all titles to a different font, you only need to change the Base Sans. Because all others have it as a parent, they'll all change.
Make the most of this inheritance property for style sheets.
Size and Leading
In your Paragraph Styles, you can define the size of the text and its leading. These settings are found in Basic Character Formats in your stylesheet's settings. If you're just starting out, it's a good idea to leave the leading to Auto. This establishes a 120% value. So 10 point type will have a 12 point leading.
Paragraph Spacing
When reading text, it's ideal to have a visual indication of the end of a paragraph and the start of the next. This is either achieved with a first line indent or a space after the paragraph — never both.
You can see an example of a first line indent on the left of the above image. On the right, there's a space after the paragraph. Choose one of the two treatments, not both. In this specific case, we'll create space after paragraphs in our style sheet.
Text Colour
In some instances, you want to change the colour of your text. You can do this in a stylesheet, along with all the other properties. It's found under the Character Colour pane in your stylesheets settings.
There are many, many more properties in the Paragraph Styles Options dialogue. We'll explore most of them over time.
Columns of Text
The main text of our whole layout is in one three-column text frame.
The proper method to get text to jump to the next column is to insert a column break. You can do this with a right-click or by typing Enter, not Return.
Make sure you delete every last character at the end of the paragraph the ∨ glyph needs to be the last glyph in the column, right after the period glyph.
Master Pages
In publications, some elements repeat themselves on multiple pages. Rather than manually placing items on each page of your document, we place them on master pages.
You can see, in the image above, that the black bar with the logo is on the Master Page. You can also see the letter A at the top of the document page. That means A-Master is applied to the document page. Anything on A-Master will appear on page one.
The bleed area is the narrow space all around the exterior of the pages ending at the red line. It's extra space to prevent unsightly white area in case of inaccurate cutting by the printer. It's generally one eighth of an inch. That's 0.125" or 9 points.
If content touches the edge of the page, you need to extend it to the bleed line. Be precise with positioning at the bleed. Go no further.
Placing Images
In Adobe-speak, importing an image is called placing. We'll place the image of the Mac Mini on the page. When you place an image, it's always inside a frame.
In the image above, the photo has a brown frame around it. That's our Photoshop file. The blue box is the InDesign frame. See more about placing images here.
Preflight & Package
The nature of an InDesign document is that it depends on certain files being present on your computer or online. These inlclude photos, graphics and fonts. If these aren't present, the document won't display properly. An image may not appear at all. A font may be substituted for another, changing the look of your design.
Font Usage
Once you're done your layout, you want to double-check that your font and image usage is correct. Let's check fonts first. Go Type > Find Font…. A dialogue opens which shows you which fonts have been used in your document.
You can see in the Find Font dialogue that we only have the font we've actually used in our document.
Image Usage
We need to ensure that the images we've place in our document are properly linked to our file. To do so, we can check our Links panel. Go Window > Links. This panel has a list of each object we've placed on our pages. It also displays the properties of those images and graphics.
If there's a problem with an image, there will either be a question mark or an exclamation mark next to it in the Links Panel. A qestion mark means that the image has been edited since you placed it in InDesign. An exclamation mark means InDesign doesn't know where the image is on our computer.
The Package command is under File > Package…. The packaging process gathers all files related to an InDesign document, then copies them into a new folder. This folder has your self-contained project in it, which you an hand off to a printer for production.
The package folder includes your InDesign document with all its support files — images and fonts. It can include a PDF of layout. You can also produce an IDML file which is your layout file, openable in older versions of InDesign.
The package folder automatically gets named with the document name. The whole folder is what you need to zip-compress to submit.
To compress the folder, right-click on it, then choose Compress… Submit that zip file.
Formative Activity
Your summative InDesign assignment is on the next page.

Marcus Allen – Senior CRM
Where am I based?
I am based in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and joined PEA in 2015.
What areas of my job do I specialise in?
I specialise in back-office operations, company secretarial best practice, Guernsey licensed fund structures and fiduciary activities.
My employment history
I have over 14 years' of dedicated private equity fund administration experience and started my career at Northern Trust in 2003 moving to Heritage International Fund Managers in September 2007. Immediately prior to joining PEA, I spent 4 years at Ipes where I was an Assistant Manager responsible for the review and authorisation of many of the company's administrative processes.
How did I get into Fund Administration?
I was a terrible architect!!
What do the team say about my work contribution?
"Marcus's attention to detail and speed of service delivery continue to exceed our expectations."
What's my favourite thing about working at PEA?
PEA is a small company, which I like, as there are real advantages. The role allows me to have full oversight of a client relationship, rather than only seeing certain aspects. Also, the "boutique" nature of the company allows us to be adaptable as a firm, which means we can offer more to our clients to ensure they get the highest level of service. Our size means we are nimble and able to make decisions very quickly. We have a great team and work with great clients.
What do I like to do in my spare time?
I used to play a bit of rugby and cricket, but not so much anymore! Now, I like to spend time with my wife and kids, or failing that, catching up with some friends, for a couple of beers over a game of rugby.
What would my perfect night out be?
With two young sons, any night out would be a perfect night out! But if I could choose, probably a nice evening with some good food, good drink and good company.

People only post the highlights of their life on Instagram, so today the app adds its own version of "Stories" to poach goofy, off-the-cuff, everyday content from Snapchat.
It works exactly like Snapchat Stories, allowing you to post 24-hour ephemeral photo and video slideshows that disappear. But because Instagram Stories appear at the top of the old feed, your followers will inevitably see them without you needing to build a new audience in a different app. Instagram Stories is rolling out globally for iOS and Android over the next few weeks. You could call it Snapchat for adults, a way for brands to post more without overwhelming people's feeds, an alternative to Instagram's Like-driven success theater or a blatant ripoff. Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom wouldn't disagree with you. The moments in-between With 500 million monthly active users, 300 million daily actives and now 250 million users on its Direct messaging feature, Instagram is enormous expansion for what Snapchat pioneered.

The agreement, slated to be announced early Monday, is expected to end Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer's floundering, four-year effort to turn around the once mighty but recently struggling Web pioneer. The deal would end a lengthy auction that began in February under prodding from activist shareholders led by Starboard Value. It also involves some real estate, sources said. In grabbing Yahoo, which it will merge with its AOL operation, Verizon beat out rival bidders including Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken Loans, whose bid had been backed by billionaire Warren Buffett. Buyout firms TPG, Bain Capital and Vista Equity Partners also were recently in the mix. The New York-based communications giant won't be buying Yahoo's 3,000 technology patents, which could be worth more than $1 billion, and are being auctioned off in a separate process, sources said.

Fort Mill Times
Local United Way concerned by fallout
Already facing tough fundraising prospects in a sluggish economy, the local United Way agency found more cause for worry this week thanks to its well-heeled colleagues in Charlotte.
News that Charlotte's United Way president earns more than $1.2 million in annual pay has sparked outrage from critics who say it's too much for a nonprofit.
Now, United Way leaders in York County fear perceptions of lavish salaries will dissuade local donors at a time when budgets are already strained. Their concern is that donors will link the two organizations, even though York County operates as a separate body.
"We don't want to disparage what they're doing and talk about them," said board Chairman Scott Wells, a developer from Fort Mill. "We just want people to be aware we're not affiliated, other than through the United Way of America. Other than that, everything else is local."
York County President Kim Keel earns a fraction of the salary given to her counterpart in Charlotte, according to documents reviewed by the Fort Mill Times' sister daily, The Herald. Keel was paid $65,625 in 2007, according to an audit in November. Retirement benefits added $10,481 to that total.
The six full-time staffers and three part-timers at the York County agency earned a total of $203,110, the audit shows.
United Way officials in Charlotte already acknowledge that criticism over King's salary could imperil future fundraising efforts.
In York County, the United Way board set a goal Thursday of raising $1.9 million -- lower than last year's hopes for $2.1 million, but higher than the $1.86 million actually raised.
"Now's not the time to have any kind of negative impact," said board member David Benjock, a general manager at Caraustar.
This year, organizers say record-high gas prices and a stagnant job market will drive up demands on homeless shelters, food banks and other nonprofits supported by the United Way.
"They're going to need a lot of money this year, with the economy the way it is now," said Fort Mill bank executive Ellen Byrd, chair of the upcoming campaign. "We all know the need is coming. It's here."
Many donors give money through office campaigns. York County residents who work in Charlotte can designate their donations be returned to their home community. It's part of the "Live Here, Give Here" effort started in York County several years ago.
