COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - Ohio's Republican Governor Johns Kasich on Thursday signed into law a measure that would slightly weaken the state's law on carrying concealed weapons, less than a week after a Connecticut school massacre focused national attention on gun control.
The bill would require Ohio residents demonstrate competency with the weapon only once rather than each time the concealed carry permit expires. It also would allow carrying concealed weapons in the parking garage of the State Capitol.
Kasich signed the bill along with 41 others and did not hold a signing ceremony. A press release summarizing his actions put the gun law near the bottom of list of those signed.
Kasich foreshadowed the action earlier in the week, telling reporters he would sign it: "Whatever we do, we don't want to erode the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens."
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives American citizens the right to bear arms.
Democratic state Representative Tracy Maxwell Heard said Kasich should not have signed such a "divisive" bill less than a week after a national tragedy.
"Rather than rushing to sign legislation that weakens our gun laws, we must use this time for a full, inclusive reflection," Maxwell Heard said.
Last Friday, a gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, killing 20 children and six adults before shooting himself.
Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder on Tuesday vetoed a proposed law that would have allowed some gun owners to bring concealed weapons into public places such as schools. Snyder said that the Connecticut shooting had influenced his decision.

The story was picked up by epbot and others and there was a huge outpouring of support as people told Katie their own stories and sent on words of encouragement.
One of the things suggested was that Friday, Dec 10th be "Wear and Share Star Wars Day" where people put on their geeky best to support Katie and others who might be getting teased because they're different.
I'm not much of a star wars fan myself, but I can dig up a cute little star trek t-shirt with a cartoon klingon on it for the occasion. Got any extra-awesome geek wear you'll be sporting tomorrow?

Protesters, worried that the central bank is about to put its foot on the brakes, have come to the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole retreat this year to urge the central bank to hold off and give the economy more time to heal. This is believed to be the first time there ever has been protesters at the event.
"We strongly urge the Federal Reserve to reject the calls to raise interest rates and slow the economy down," said The Center for Popular Democracy, a coalition of 70 organizations, in a letter to Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen and her colleagues.
"Although the stock market has roared back to life, and the wealthiest Americans are richer than ever before, too many of us struggle to secure even basic levels of dignity," the letter said.
Becky Dernbach, 28, an organizer with Neighborhoods Organizing for Change — an advocacy group for low-income residents in Minneapolis — said she came to Jackson Hole to make sure that the voices of average workers were being heard by the Fed.
Kendra Brooks, 42, a resident of Philadelphia who has an MBA but still found herself out of work even after her unemployment benefits ended, said the American dream has "fizzled" in this economy.
"We are not their [the Fed's] primary concern. They are more focused on the top end of the [income] scale," she said.
The activists said the Jackson Hole protest was the start of a new effort to get officials to understand the economy is broken.
The group held a two-hour meeting with Kansas City Fed President Esther George, who has been one of several regional bank presidents advocating for a rate hike sooner rather than later.
Ady Barkan, a staff attorney with the Center for Popular Democracy, said that the group appreciated the meeting but that the two sides had talked past each other.
George told the group that higher rates might not come soon, but said are coming and will balance the economy, he said.
"That is completely wrong," Barkan said. The way to combat imbalance in the economy is through strong regulation "not throwing people out of work," he said.

2005 Ford Focus ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Clean new engines, redesigned interiors.
If you aren't aware there's a new Ford Focus on the road, you haven't been paying attention. Ford is making a big deal of the revamping of its small car, the 2005 Focus. The automaker claims it is conducting an advertising blitz like it did on the F-150 pickup truck.
Ads for the Focus have been plastered all over popular shows like 'American Idol.' They feature the Focus talking and 'begging to be driven.' The Focus is critically important to Ford, not necessarily in terms of volume and profits, but in that it reels in certain kinds of important customers, notably first-time buyers, first-time Ford buyers, women and minorities.
The Focus is one of the many new or redesigned cars Ford introduces this year, its 'year of the car.' The Focus has been spruced up outside by a mild facelift, though it takes a sharp eye to distinguish the subtle changes. Designers made more changes on the inside, rendering a more traditional look than before.
But the biggest news is under the hood where the engine line-up has been revised. Among them is a super-clean, 130-horsepower engine that's more powerful and slightly more fuel efficient; it qualifies as a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle in California, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine. A new 136-horsepower engine is more powerful than last year's powerplant.
Despite the makeover, the Ford Focus remains inexpensive, stylish, practical and fun. The sedans are comfortable and move people efficiently. The three-door hatchback proves to be economical and practical yet sporty and fun. The five-door hatchback makes it easier for rear-seat passengers to join in the merriment. The wagons can carry a ton of cargo.
We found the sporty ZX4 ST fun to drive, if a bit noisy. It delivered strong acceleration from its 151-horsepower engine with sharp handling and precise steering from its sports suspension. It ranks among the most enjoyable cars in its class.
Four body styles are offered: the ZX3, a three-door hatchback; the ZX4, a four-door sedan; the ZX5, a five-door hatchback; and the ZXW, a wagon.
Three engines are offered. All models but the ZX4 ST come with either the 130- or 136-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder. They are paired with the five-speed manual transmission, standard on some versions, or a four-speed automatic. The ZX4 ST comes with a 151-horsepower, 2.3-liter four-cylinder offered only with a five-speed manual.
The ZX3 ($13,005), ZX4 ($13,605), and ZX5 ($14,305) are available in base S trim. The S trim level comes with manual driver's seat-height adjustment, split-folding rear seat, AM/FM/CD, and 15-inch wheels. (The destination charge will add another $545 to all retail prices.)
Mid-level SE trim for ZX3 ($14,505), ZX4 ($15,105), ZX5 ($15,805), and ZXW ($16,805) adds air conditioning, an overhead console, AM/FM/CD/MP3, dual power mirrors, power windows and locks, and remote keyless entry.
Upper-level SES for ZX3 ($15,605), ZX4 ($16,205), ZX5 ($16,905), and ZXW ($17,905) adds a tilt/telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, audio controls mounted on the steering wheel, fog lamps, tachometer, AM/FM/6CD/MP3, and 16-inch alloy wheels.
The high-performance ZX4 ST ($17,705) includes: a sport-tuned exhaust; the ST suspension with unique 16-inch alloy wheels; four-wheel disc brakes with traction control; decklid spoiler and lower body moldings; chrome-tipped exhaust; body-color, heated outside mirrors; leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with contrast stitching; and sporty interior fabrics and instrument panel different from the other versions. (The SVT performance version has been eliminated from the line.)
Standard safety features include second-generation airbags, which include shut-off the one for the passenger seat if it is unoccupied or occupied by a small child, child safety seat attachments, child locks on the rear doors. Optional on all models are anti-lock brakes and side-impact airbags ($350). The ABS ($400) with traction control ($115) is standard on the ZX4 ST and optional on all other models.
Other options include a four-speed automatic transmission ($815), power moonroof ($625), leather upholstery, heated front seats, an alarm system and an Audiophile sound system with Sony speakers and subwoofer.
The Ford Focus was a head-turner when it was first introduced in 2000. Its styling at the time was fresh and innovative. While Ford designers describe its new look as more refined and grown-up, it continues with same general theme of sweeping arcs and crisp creases that we've grown accustomed to. It takes a sharp eye to distinguish the subtle changes from the old one to the new one, however.
Designers say they styled the front to have hints of the Ford Five Hundred, the company's upcoming flagship sedan. Its hood and fenders fall away less sharply than the original to make the car look more substantial and to create a better sight line of the edge of the car for easier parking.
The most noticeable change is the larger grille with the diamond pattern ringed in chrome. Other new details include reshaped headlamps with clear lenses and a new fascia that incorporates a wide lower air intake, and new round fog lamps. The sedan has new taillamps and rear bumper fascia. All Focus models have a hood made of harder steel and fascias made of thicker plastics to ward off dents and dings.
Designers made more changes on the inside than the outside. It retains its roomy interior space for its compact size and high roofline for headroom.
The previous dash consisted of a collection of arcs, a theme that reinforced the exterior design, and an instrument panel covered by an asymmetrically curved and sharply creased bezel. Those shapes are mostly gone in exchange for a more traditional look. The instrument panel was re-styled to be less cluttered. The instrument panel is symmetrical with the driver and passenger areas divided by two rectangular climate control registers, the hazard switch and a shallow center stack for the audio and climate controls.
Four interior colors are offered for the interior. A monochrome charcoal is offered on the ZX4 ST, ZX3 and ZX5. All models but the ZX4 ST also come with a two-tone flint interior. The ZX4 and ZX2 can be ordered with a two-tone pebble interior.
On two-tone models, the lower portions of the instrument panel and door trim panels are finished in a lighter shade for a more open feeling. Cloth and leather upholstery are offered. The ZX4 ST has unique woven fabrics or suede seating surfaces surrounded with leather trim.
A standard floor console houses the shifter, two cupholders, the parking brake, and controls for options such as traction control. An overhead console includes a sunglasses holder and a space for a garage door opener. More storage is provided in the front doors, which also have a molded-in holder for cups and bottles.
Driving Impression
Since it was introduced, the Ford Focus has been praised for its spirited driving dynamics, particularly for a small car. It has made a number of 'best' lists for its driving characteristics. To that end, John Sidelko, Focus chief engineer, said his group looked at what customers liked about the Focus, enhancing those a bit, and what they complained about, fixing those.
Indeed, the biggest news on the Focus is under its hood. A new 136-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the same one used in the Mazda 6 and Ford Escape, replaces both the previous 110- and 130-horsepower engines, the engines offered in the Focus since its debut in 2000.
In California, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine, the Focus comes standard with a super-clean, 130-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder. (The engine actually began going into some Focus models in 2004.) More powerful than the previous base engine, the new engine is slightly more fuel efficient: 26/35 mpg EPA City/Highway with five-speed manual, 26/32 with four-speed automatic. More important, it puts out much lower emissions so it meets PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) standards. Ford claims the entire 2004 Focus fleet, which began using the engine, is 33 percent cleaner than the 2003 fleet.
A third engine is the 151-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder that goes only in the ZX4 ST. It gets an EPA-rated 23/32 mpg. It is paired only with a five-speed manual transmission. The shifter is a new one and is more precise in locking into gear than the one it replaces.
The higher horsepower engine was the one in the tested Focus ZX4 ST. Indeed, it delivers strong acceleration from a dead stop and easily cruised to passing speeds on the highway. The only complaint with the engine was noise. Despite efforts by Ford engineers to quiet the cabin, the ZX4 ST was excessively loud with engine noise even cruising at highway speeds.
Ford borrowed pieces of the suspension from the European-sold Focus and the 2004 Focus SVT to make the ZX4 ST more performance oriented than the other models. It borrows the front struts and rear shocks from those models, and they are 50 percent stiffer than the ones on the SE and SES versions. The ZX4 ST also has its own distinctive 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels and Pirelli all-season radials. The package provides sharp handling response, precise steering and generally an enjoyable connection with the road. Indeed, the Focus, at least in this version, remains one of the most fun cars in the class to drive.
Despite its makeover, the Ford Focus remains inexpensive, stylish, practical and fun. New engines increase power and efficiency, while new interiors and subtle styling revisions freshen its appearance.
It also appears Ford has fixed the major problem with the Focus: its quality. The 2000 and 2001 models had a lot of recalls, which involved inconvenient trips to the dealership for buyers. Those problems forced Ford to institute a longer warranty like those offered by South Korean makers Hyundai and Kia. The Focus continues to carry the extra-long powertrain warranty of five years or 100,000 miles. Meantime, quality improvements already showed up on the 2004 model with Consumer Reports adding it to its recommended buy list and it getting a bump in the J. D. Power and Associates quality surveys.

HOUSTON, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 7, 2006 -- If there could be one place protected from the
cancerous infection of pornography and sexual misconducts, one would assume
that the Christian church would be that sanctuary. But, recent research is
revealing that no one is immunized against the vice-grip clutches of sexual
addictive behaviors. The people who struggle with the repeated pursuit of
sexual gratification include church members, deacons, staff, and yes, even
clergy. And, to the surprise of many, a large number of women in the
church have become victim to this widespread problem. Recently, the
world's most visited Christian website, ChristiaNet.com, conducted a survey
asking site visitors eleven questions about their personal sexual conduct.
Amazingly, there were one thousand responses to the poll conducted by
ChristiaNet.com. ChristiaNet.com partnered with Second Glance Ministries
in evaluating the poll responses and it seems the Christian community is
struggling with many of the same "temptations" that the secular society is
faced with.
"The poll results indicate that 50% of all Christian men and 20% of all
Christian women are addicted to pornography," said Clay Jones, founder and
President of Second Glance Ministries whose ministry objectives include
providing people with information which will enable them to fully
understand the impact of today's societal issues. 60% of the women who
answered the survey admitted to having significant struggles with lust; 40%
admitted to being involved in sexual sin in the past year; and 20% of the
church-going female participants struggle with looking at pornography on an
ongoing basis.
"There have been dynamic paradigm shifts in the behavior of Christians over
the last four years," explained Jones. "Technology [the Internet] has
allowed pornography to flood the market place beyond a controllable level."
Jones' ministry also includes providing Christian intervention programs for
churches and for individuals. All of Second Glance Ministries' services
are free and recipients may remain anonymous.
"We directed over 100,000 inquiries to Second Glance Ministries in one
year," stated ChristiaNet.com's President, Bill Cooper. "We are seeing an
escalation to the problem in both men and women who regularly attend
church." ChristiaNet.com is committed to addressing the devastating
consequences that sexual addictions can have on a family and society by
providing a safe environment for blogging discussions and referrals.

Olympic snowboarder Shaun White has agreed to undergo alcohol counseling as part of a plea deal following his drunken arrest on his rocker pal Patrick Carney's wedding night.
White was accused of trashing his hotel suite in Nashville and setting off several fire alarms in the building following a confrontation with management staff in September.
He tried to make a hasty exit but tripped and fell, and was hauled into custody and booked for suspicion of public intoxication and vandalism.
White subsequently apologized for his "unwise choices," and he managed to reach an agreement with prosecutors on Wednesday, giving him the chance to escape the charges altogether.
Under the terms of the deal, White will seek alcohol treatment and perform 24 hours of community service, while he will also pay restitution to the Nashville hotel owners.
Authorities have already dropped the vandalism charge and they have promised to dismiss the remaining count if White fulfills his end of the agreement by January 25.

Somber memorial for victims of Boston bombing
April 15 - Top officials gathered for a memorial service to mark the anniversary of a bomb attack on the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured 264 others. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick were among top officials attending a memorial service at the Hynes Convention Center on Tuesday to mark the anniversary of a bomb attack on the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured 264 others. The blasts tore through the crowded finish line of the world renowned race, injuring spectators, volunteers and athletes, in the worst mass-casualty attack on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11, 2011 attacks that killed 3,000 people. Rev. Liz Walker from Roxbury Presbyterian Church gave the opening remarks, and paid tribute to the lives lost in the bombing -- Martin Richard, 8, Krystle Campbell, 29, and Chinese national Lu Lingzi, 23. This year's race, set for April 21, will take place in an environment of heightened security with the 36,000 runners and tens of thousands of expected spectators facing new restrictions, including bans on carrying backpacks into the race corridor. Federal prosecutors say that a pair of ethnic Chechen brothers, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, carried their homemade pressure-cooker bombs to the finish line in backpacks. Three days after the attack, the FBI released pictures of the suspected bombers and requested the public's help in finding them. That prompted the Tsarnaev brothers to attempt a hasty flight from Boston, which began with them shooting dead Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, prosecutors said, in an unsuccessful attempt to steal his gun. That prompted a police chase that ended in a gun battle in the Boston suburb of Watertown. Tamerlan, 26, was killed and Dzhokhar, now 20, escaped before being captured on April 19. The brother is awaiting trial on charges that carry the possibility of execution if he is convicted.

No One Together"
Centuries of backward ways, have many left behind us
Who can count the good men gone away
The fruits of all our labors have left us as we started
We've come too far to end it in a day
It seems that everything we do is wrong
A one way trip to nowhere all along
Just look around and tell me what you see
Another stupid page of history
No one together, No one is touching ground
Look at each other, Chaos is all around
Same situation, Nothing is really new
No one together, No one is me and you
Lo the horn of plenty is bursting at the seam
The harvest of the world will be our prize
We claim to know the secrets, the answers have been found
But how can one fool make another wise
'Cause nothing's better than it used to be
To live and die is still a mystery
We take away and we give nothing back
We just consume it all and still we lack
No one together, No one is touching ground
Look at each other, Chaos is all around
Same situation, Nothing is really new
No one together, No one is me and you
Each day passed by so quickly now
You can feel it drawing much closer now
The signs are in the faces of the people in the street
The signs are in the sound I hear
The voices filled with hate and fear
You can feel it drawing near you now
The multitudes are searching, and wandering in vain
For what they seek cannot be found in men
The truth that lies before us now is plain for all to see
To grow without is not to grow within
For in the promise is a victory
To see the way that everything should be
To feel the joy that we were meant to know
We should have realized so long ago
We're all together, Harmony will abound'
Look at each other, All that was lost is found
New situation if our direction's true
We're all together, Everyone is me and you.
"No One Together"
Wow it has been over a year since I posted anything. All I can say is sorry. But, I need some sort of Inspiration to find what I might be able to share. And I've had a dry spell of Inspiration. Just recently though, I've made some new friends who's conversation has given me what I need to share because "We're All Together" as I would like to show you in this KANSAS song.
A couple of weeks ago I and my wife Evelyn and our Therapy Dog Lucy went to a monthly Stress and Depression peer support group I usually attend and share messages I find in songs. Its rarely difficult for me to find a song to discuss. Usually a topic from last meeting sticks with me and a song comes to mind I can work off of. Or I can think of a song which addresses someone in the group's personal issues, including me. But our last meeting was cancelled because of the Blizzard and I didn't want to focus on any individual. I had no subjects to find a song for. I was surprised Two days before the meeting when I had a rare opportunity to scan the paper. Then plain as day an article caught my eye. It depicted two individuals shaded differently with each holding a 1/2 glass of something. The article below was about how the individuals viewed the glasses. One saw it as 1/2 empty while the other saw it as 1/2 full. It went on to say that our perceptions about things in life can shape our experiences. The pessimist with a 1/2 empty glass can extend their opinion making their reality harsher than the Optimist who's World view makes for a much more meaningful and longer life.
I thought it was a great article to share with the group now I only needed a song to go with it. The next day while listening to songs on my phone I found a lesser known song by KANSAS which I don't think even had much air play during the Cold War years when it was written. Well in these trying times, I believe that the stresses we have to face are as great or greater than we had then. Also there was a spiritual or religious turmoil within the band at the time. The song not being well known, nor having large religious overtones, I thought would compliment the article and make for interesting discussion. My question is whether the song "No One Together" by KANSAS is a 1/2 empty or 1/2 full type of song?
Below are the lyrics to it. And because I have found another KANSAS song with a connection to it I will share what I and others said about it when I post the next song. I think that it might just provoke all to do some deep thinking and soul searching. I hope you come back to read it.

Quote from: Timko on August 03, 2012, 01:15:50 PMJamie, do you need anything to get #4 unlocked?invert the lock. fill up the lock with penetrating oil thru the keyhole. try the key with very little force. dont break the key inside the lock. if doesnt work, let sit for 24 hrs then repeat. a light tap with a small hammer on the bottom in the locking direction may speed the process. make sure there is oil in the lock when performing this step. 2-3 days should do it. if not, probably time for a new lock. oiling all the locks on the course couple of times a yr will help deter this from happening. not a bad investment of ~$3/yr/course in penetrating oil in my opinion.
Jamie, do you need anything to get #4 unlocked?
How more recreational can you get than CA trails? Pick a pin, play it from where you are. Hole out then pick another pin, throw...etc. 'til you're all funned out.

Don't leave home without this handy car organizer.
8 Fat Quarters
one piece of thin batting 26″ x 22″
a water soluble pen
Cutting your pockets: You have 2 large (brown) and 2 smaller (a blue and a green) pockets and 1 extra long pocket (orange). Take 4 fat quarters (2 brown, 1 blue and 1 green) and cut a 12″ x 14″ rectangle from each.
Here are your 4 pockets ready to be assembled.
Take your blue and green rectangle and fold them with the rights sides together. You now have a folded rectangle that measures 12″ x 7″.
Sew along the short side (7″) using a 1/4″ seam. Sew both 7″ sides on the blue rectangle and on the green rectangle.
Turn right side out and press.
Take your brown 12″ x 14″ rectangles and fold them the long way, so you have rectangles measuring 14″ x 6″.
Sew the 6″ edges using 1/4″ seam. Do this to both brown rectangles.
Turn them right side are out. Press both pieces.
Cut your orange fat quarter 12″ x 21″. Fold in half lengthwise. It should measure 21″ x 6″. Sew both short edges using a 1/4″ seam. Turn right side out and press.
Measure to find the center of the pocket. Mark with a pin at the top edge and at the bottom raw edge. Make about 1″ tucks in the four spots shown. The finished length should be 14″.
With your water soluble pen, draw a line on your background piece that is 1 1/4″ from the bottom edge.
Take one of the brown pieces for the pockets. Make about a 1″ tuck on the raw edge. Pin the tuck in place. Do the same to the other side. Your brown pocket should measure 9″ wide.
On the green piece for the pocket, make your 1″ tucks on the raw edge. Pin in place. Do tucks on both sides. The green pocket should measure 6″ wide once you have the tucks pinned.
Draw a line all the way across the front, 7 1/2″ from the bottom raw edge of the organizer front with your water soluble pen.
Place your pockets as shown. Line up the raw edge of the pockets on the drawn line. Place the pockets so they are approximately 1 1/4″ from side organizer edges and about 1″ apart. Pin in place.
Sew in place using a 1/4″ seam. Back stitching at the beginning and end.
Fold the pockets back onto the background as shown. This hides your raw edge seams.
Sew down the side edges on both green and brown pockets an 1/8″ from the edge.
Flip the pockets back onto the background and pin in place. Measure to be sure that the edges of the pockets are straight. Leave 1 1/4″ from the side of the organizer.
Sew down the edges with an 1/8″ allowance.
Sew your binding in place using a 1/4″ seam.
Trim the excess batting from the edges. Be careful not to cut into the binding.
Hand or machine stitch your binding in place.
From the remaining brown fat quarter, cut 2 – 3″ strips. These are for your ties.
Turn your ties right side out and press.
Sew the ties raw edge in place at an angle as shown on the top corner of the organizer, .
Fold the tie back and stitch 1/4″ from the folded edge. This covers your raw edge and gives more stability to your tie. Repeat on the other side.
Tie your organizer to the back of the driver or passenger's seat. Fill with items for your child and you are ready to go.
Another option is to use the organizer pockets to hold baby products next to your baby's changing table. Or, hang it near your child's bed so they can keep their books and personal items nearby.
8 fat quarters will make one organizer.

30 x 100 cm, Oil on canvas
Mystique is one of Pavel Mitkov's favourite themes. The artist seeks a touch of mystique everywhere - in the night-time, in the streets of Paris, in the image of Don Quixote, musical instruments and the sea. He opens mystical gates revealing a different perspective of the world - one that is deeply encoded in the stereotypes of time.
Mystique is a state of the spirit touching the unknown and coming to know its own self as well as the world.
And it takes a great deal of courage, as the unknown has always awed people filling them with fear.
Mitkov adeptly handles familiar forms placing them in a mystical environment. He bets on mystique more than any other theme because, as he puts it, that is more instructional for an artist than anything else and is like a "bungee jump into the unknown." And the cord one is connected to, he says, is the only link back to reality.
You can check up for yourself how thin the cord he uses in this category really is.
The most fascinating period is from 2012 on. Mitkov highlights two particular dates in it: 21.12.2012, supposedly the end of the world, and 10.02.2013, the beginning of the Age of Aquarius and the Chinese New Year. According to the artist, that was the time when the mankind chose its future 2000-year cycle and the good prevailed. Always positive, always filled with a lot of energy, Mitkov turned his latest period into a life mission. It is not about just composing paintings but rather about creating and putting enormous love into canvases. The painter believes a painting can make a real difference in a man's life.

CTV News Coverage of Saturday's Rally
About 200 people rallied in Vancouver on Saturday to protest the arrest of three B.C. Marijuana Party members, including leader Marc Emery.
One demonstrator sarcastically told CTV News Vancouver: "I'm an American, and I just wanted to visit our latest colony and see if all our Canadian slaves are behaving in a properly respectful way, because that's really what happened yesterday — the Canadian police became a branch of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency)."
5 things you can do to help Marc Emery
by Dana Larsen (02 Aug, 2005) Please do your part to keep the US drug war out of Canada!
Marc during last summer`s legalization tour
I have received many emails and messages from people asking me what they can do to help prevent Marc Emery from being extradited to the US to face a lifetime in prison. Here are five simple, concrete things that anyone can do to make a positive impact on this situation.
If you can donate even two hours of spare time each week to doing some of these five things you will be making a real difference.
The first three things can and should be done by anyone in the world who supports this effort. The last two are for Canadians only.
Please don't just read this list and then do nothing. This is a very crucial battle and one we must win.
1) Call Irwin Cotler regularly.
Canada's Justice Minister is Irwin Cotler. It is largely his decision whether Canada will extradite Marc Emery. Cotler's biography describes him as a "peace activist" who has devoted his life to supporting international human rights, free speech, freedom of religion, women's rights, minority rights, war crimes justice and prisoners' rights, but he has not proven himself to be a friend to the cannabis culture.
Please call each of these three phone numbers twice every week, and politely repeat your message every time. The goal is to keep these lines constantly tied up with calls and voice mails about Marc Emery, so that the Justice Department phones are ringing steadily about the Emery case every day for the next few months.
When you call, always be very polite. Your goal is not to get into a debate with Cotler's secretary. Just say that you are calling because it would "shock your conscience" for Marc Emery to be extradited to the US for alleged marijuana seeds crimes committed on Canadian soil. Say that you believe that if Marc has broken the law in Canada, he should be tried in Canada, under Canadian laws.
If they say you are calling the wrong number ask what number you should call. But still call them again the next week regardless.
No matter where you are in the world, please call all three of these phone numbers every week. We definitely need active, vocal support from Americans and also from the international community.
* Irwin Cotler's Constituency Office: 514-283-0171
* Irwin Cotler's Parliamentary Office: 613-995-0121
* Justice Department Office: 613-992-4621
If you have access to a fax machine then please also send a daily or weekly fax supporting Marc Emery to each of these Justice Department fax numbers:
Fax: 613-992-6762
Fax: 514-283-2407
Fax: 613-990-7255
Don't bother sending emails to Cotler. Emails are easily ignored, deleted, or filtered out as spam. Weekly phone calls and faxes are much more effective in creating awareness and political pressure.
2) Donate and buy
This raid means the end of Marc Emery Marijuana Seeds, which was the pioneering business which Marc Emery used to fund activist efforts around the world. Marc, Michelle and Greg will all have huge legal bills, while at the same time losing their assets, income and livelihood.
Money-losing projects like Pot-TV will need to be curtailed, political activities will be shut down, Cannabis Culture Magazine will struggle greatly, and all our staff will suffer layoffs and paycuts.
Please make a donation or purchase with the BC Marijuana Party, and buy a subscription to Cannabis Culture magazine. Our store is still fully stocked with books, pipes, bongs, clothes and other cannabis products. The only thing we don't sell now is seeds! We need your business to survive, so please come down and pick up some new paraphernalia.
3) Write to Canadian media
Please contact all of the following newspapers and magazines, with a new letter every week.
Don't write a big long letter. Just write a short, snappy letter which offers your opinion on American efforts to extradite Marc Emery.
Don't just send one mass email to all of these media at once. Instead send them each individually the same emailed letter.
Write one letter every week, different letters but on the same topic, and send them to every one of these media outlets every week.

4) Contact your MP and MLA
If you are in Canada, then contact both your MP and your MLA. Don't send them an email, make a phone call. Try to make an appointment for a personal visit. Also have every one of your friends and family members each make their own phone call as well. The more calls they receive the better.
You are not seeking your MP and MLA to support the legalization of marijuana. Just say that you are calling because you want your elected representative to oppose the extradition of any Canadian to a foreign country when their actions are not considered a serious crime in Canada.
Remind them that Emery is the leader of a legitimate political party, that the Canadian government has knowingly collected taxes from his US seed sales for a decade, and that Emery has operated openly without interference from Canadian police since 1998.
Tell your MP and MLA that Canada should not be sending political activists to jail in foreign countries, especially when their actions are not even considered to be an "arrestable offence" in Canada.
Your MP is your federal Member of Parliament. You can find your MP here: http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/house/PostalCode.asp?Source=SM
Your MLA is your Provincial Member of the Legislature. You can find your MLA online here:

5) Rally in your community
If you are in Canada, then try to put on a rally in your community to protest this incursion of the US Drug War into Canada.
The focus of your rally should not be on the marijuana laws, but rather that Canadians within Canada are not subject to US law. The Canadian courts and people have decided that selling marijuana seeds is a trivial, non-arrestable offence.
The Canadian government has steadily collected sizable taxes from Marc Emery's US seed sales for 10 years. If Emery has broken the law in Canada then he should be charged and tried here. If he has broken no laws in Canada then he should not be extradited to the US for a life sentence. Who will be next? Will US police start extraditing Canadians who perform gay marriages for visiting Americans?
Try to put together a rally for Saturday, September 10, to coincide with the rally planned for Vancouver. If there is a US consulate office in your city then that is a good place to rally at. Otherwise find a park or other government building.
Please contact us at the BC Marijuana Party to let us know what you are up to. Tell us if you have contacted your elected representatives, if are planning a rally, and what else you are doing to help preserve Canadian sovereignty and keep the US drug war out of Canada.
Thank you for your help. Marc Emery has devoted his life to ending the drug war and ensuring that marijuana seeds are available to anyone who wants to grow this wondrous herb. Please follow his lead, become active, and help to end this vicious war.

An ethnic stereotype is a generalized representation of an ethnic group, composed of what are thought to be typical characteristics of members of the group. The use of ethnic stereotypes is usually demeaning even when the characteristics might be considered positive because it tends to discount the importance and uniqueness of the individual.
False ethnic stereotypes can gain acceptance as fact through frequent repetition. The use of stereotypes often leads to misunderstanding and hurt feelings, because they may be either untrue generalizations, truthful but unflattering generalizations, or truthful generalizations about a group which are untrue of any given member of a group. Many modern ethnic stereotypes can be described as accurate representations of social norms within a given ethnicity and may reflect what a large portion of the living population is, in fact, doing. Within each ethnicity there is always a minority, or even a majority, that chooses not to reflect the stereotype. But even individuals who do reflect the stereotype may find it negative and offensive.
There are many other examples, lists of which can be found at the following articles:

In the new movie "Hateship Loveship," Kristen Wiig's character, an introverted, thirtysomething housekeeper named Johannna practices kissing herself in the mirror. It's a moment of loneliness that Wiig and director Liza Johnson envisioned as a sad beat in the film.
But at a screening last September at the Toronto International Film Festival, Wiig was shocked when audiences laughed at the scene.
"I'm so surprised that comes across as funny," she said in a recent interview at a Los Feliz cafe. "I worried, are people gonna laugh at certain parts of this 'cause they're used to seeing me do things that are comedic? I can't take away from people how they experience that scene or other ones, but I never saw it as funny. I thought, she probably does this all the time... This poor girl, she's kissing herself, that's so sad. And then she just cleans the mirror."
PHOTOS: Our favorite funny women and why we love 'em
A quiet, independently financed adaptation of the Alice Munro short story "Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage," Wiig's newest film marks her debut as a dramatic actress. After winning over audiences with her oddball "Saturday Night Live" characters, breaking new ground at the box office with the ribald 2011 comedy "Bridesmaids" and appearing in supporting roles that make use of her comic chops in studio films like "Anchorman 2" and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," the actress is attempting to show movie-goers a different side of herself.
It's a move that comes with some risk for Wiig, 40, who is aware that audiences have affection for her comedic characters, like "SNL's" Dooneese, the sister who often blurted out inappropriate comments during her family's performances on "The Lawrence Welk Show," Annie from "Bridesmaids," whose drunken, pill-fueled outburst on a plane is one of the movie's highlights, or Chani from "Anchorman 2," whose bizarre flirtations won over Steve Carell's idiot weatherman.
"This is probably the most noncomedic thing I've done, so it is a little scary to throw that out there, 'cause you don't know what people will think and it's tricky with marketing these kinds of films," Wiig said. "But you do have to let it go at a certain point and just let it be what it is. People are going to say what they're going to say and that's fine."
Adapted by screenwriter Mark Poirier, "Hateship Loveship" relocates Munro's restrained short story from 1950s rural Ontario to the present-day American Midwest, beginning at the deathbed of Johanna's longtime elderly charge. Johanna's new job is as caretaker for a teenager, Sabitha (Hailee Steinfeld), who is being raised by her grandfather (Nick Nolte) after her father, Ken (Guy Pearce), killed her mother in a drunk driving accident. Irked by Johanna's awkwardness, Sabitha and a friend trick Johanna into believing that Ken is in love with her.
Johanna is a character of few words whose quirky habits seemed to have been forged in her previous life of isolation tending to the old woman. She wears dowdy clothes, eats peaches from a can and channels every uncomfortable emotion into scrubbing a surface spotless. When she realizes she has been tricked and has no place to put her feelings for Ken, Johanna reacts by cleaning his home until it shines.

As part of her preparation for the role, Wiig watched some videos of people cleaning that Johnson sent her. "It's like porn in a way," Wiig said of the cleaning videos. "It's very satisfying, it's very meditative, you get why people do it, you get why some people obsess about it. It's very gratifying. It's a way to busy your mind... I think with Johanna it was how she learned what was supposed to fill her life."
Johnson has some experience with character pieces; in her 2011 film "The Return," Linda Cardellini plays a reservist who struggles to adapt to home life after returning from a tour of duty in the Middle East.
The director said she felt to carry off Johanna, an actor would need the technique to communicate in small gestures, and the warmth to keep the audience on her side. In Wiig, Johnson said, she also had a leading woman with another tool — the ability to play the kind of characters nobody wants to talk to at a party.
"I felt Kristen could understand this character based on her body of work," said Johnson. "She's known for her comedy, but she's also known for creating characters with some shame and embarrassment. This character is so quiet and so interior that it's helpful to have someone warm playing her, someone who audiences know and who they like."
For Wiig, the trick was to communicate the complexity swirling around in Johanna's head while preserving her taciturn quality. "It was that fine line of trying to make her introverted and kind of quiet, but also not just sitting there and staring at the wall," Wiig said. "You had to see that she was thinking all the time. There's a lot going on in her brain."

Though she attained her fame as a comic actor, Wiig never set out with that goal, she said. A native of upstate New York, she moved to Los Angeles after studying art at the University of Arizona, and developed her comic skills at L.A.'s Groundlings improv troupe. In real life, Wiig is amiable and quick to laugh, but far more subdued than most of the women she has played (realistically, she would have to be, or she would have been institutionalized by now).
"Before the Groundlings, I never thought about comedy," Wiig said. "It just sort of happened, and then 'SNL' happened. You can't really predict where your life is gonna go at all."
Reviews for "Hateship Loveship" have been mixed. Some critics have praised the empathy of Wiig's portrayal, but others find the film too quiet, and point out the challenge inherent in adapting Munro, a writer whose chief gift is her ability to observe the inner lives of people.
For Wiig, that silence was a big part of the project's appeal.
"I really love movies where there isn't dialogue every five seconds," Wiig said. "Film to me is such a visual medium and I love watching movies where you do sometimes just sit there and look at the scenery, 'cause I don't think we do that much anymore. To me it's a quiet movie and I think that's a good thing... Those are the kind of movies I like."
Three years after the success of "Bridesmaids," Wiig is continuing to forge an unlikely path. She's writing a comedy with her "Bridesmaids" writing partner Annie Mumolo and another, more dramatic script on her own, and she said, she has her eye on directing. As an actor, Wiig will star later this year in the independent "Welcome to Me," in which she plays a woman with borderline personality disorder who wins the lottery, stops taking her medication and buys a talk show.
What Wiig hasn't done is make a "Bridesmaids" sequel, or take another starring role in a big-budget studio comedy.
"Sometimes you just don't want to do something that everyone can't understand why you would turn down," Wiig said. "But it's your life, your career, your name, your face on the poster. You have to make those decisions for yourself. There's nothing I regret saying no to."

Tony Conigliaro, the Red Sox' would-be legend
Tony Conigliaro, the Red Sox' would-be legend
Aug. 7, 1967: Eleven days before before the beaning that would alter his career, Tony Conigliaro relaxed with Red Sox power hitters George Scott and Carl Yastrzemski before their game with the Kansas City Athletics. While the Red Sox lost 5-3, Yaz had 2 hits, Scott had 1, and Conigliaro went 3 for 3 with 2 RBIs.
Aug. 18, 1967: Boston Red Sox player Tony Conigliaro was surrounded by teammates after being hit on the head by a fourth-inning fastball from Jack Hamilton of the California Angels. When Conigliaro dropped in the batter's box after being hit, he never stirred. The rush from the Red Sox dugout started with manager Dick Williams.
Aug. 18, 1967: Conigliaro was carried off the Fenway Park field by teammates Mike Ryan and Jim Lonborg, trainer Buddy LeRoux, and Angels' trainer Fred Federico. "When I got to him," said team physician Dr. Thomas Tierney, "He said, 'It hurts like hell. I heard a hissing sound and that was all.' "
August 1967: A glum Tony Conigliaro was in his hospital bed at Sancta Maria Hospital in Cambridge while being treated for a cracked cheekbone, dislocated jaw, and damaged retina. This was the fifth time in Tony' Cs major league career that he has been hurt by pitched balls. He suffered a separated shoulder during spring training when a John Wyatt fastball sailed during batting practice. During his rookie season, he suffered a hairline fracture of the left wrist after being hit by a Moe Drabowski pitch. A month later, he was out for six weeks when a Pedro Ramos pitch broke his right forearm. And in 1965, Wes Stock of the Kansas City A's put Tony out of the lineup for 12 days with a broken hand. The injury from the Jack Hamilton pitch would prove to be the most serious of all.
Aug. 24, 1967: Conigliaro was escorted from Sancta Maria Hospital in Cambridge by Sister Mary Leonard (left) and was driven to his Swampscott home by his father, Sal. The young Sox slugger completely absolved Angels pitcher Jack Hamilton, whose fastball hit Tony flush in the face and fractured his cheekbone. "It was an inside fastball and sailed into me - I had no chance of getting out of the way."
Aug. 30, 1967: Conigliaro squinted in the sun as he took some "batting" practice at Grossinger's Resort in New York with Clark Graebner, a member of the US Davis Cup tennis team. Conigliaro was on the disabled list as he recovered. While he said he had no pains or dizzy spells, he said the "blur stays with me."
Sept. 7, 1967: Conigliaro was examined by Dr. I Francis Gregory at Sancta Maria Hospital three weeks after being hit by the pitch. Conigliaro registered 20/100 when the eye was tested, normal vision being 20/20. He suffered permanent damage in his retina that affected his vision. Tony C was batting .287 with 20 home runs when he suffered the fractured cheekbone on Aug. 18. Looking on is teammate Jose Santiago, a pitcher who was hit in the left eye by a stray ball during recent batting practice. He was cleared to pitch.

Central Oregon Hunting Report 4/22/09
by ODFW
OPEN: Cougar, coyote, spring turkey, spring bear (controlled hunt)
Don't forget to report your hunt results. Anyone who purchases a big game or turkey tag must report hunt results online or by phone. Reporting is required even if you did not fill your tag or go hunting. More information
Visit the turkey and spring bear hunting forecasts for tips and information about conditions in each zone.
Snow accumulations are receding, but drifts are present at higher elevations blocking some roads across the Ochoco National Forest. Outdoor enthusiasts should be prepared for rapidly changing weather and be equipped for difficult driving. Dress and be equipped to for walking and/or driving through everything from dry surfaces, to mud and snow. Deer, elk and pronghorn are moving to higher elevations as the spring thaw progresses.
Green-up is occurring and TURKEYS are moving to higher elevations, including BLM and Ochoco National Forest lands. Typically, the better concentrations of birds occur along the south slopes of the Ochoco unit, and in the Bear and Trout Creek drainages of the Grizzly unit. Hunters should consult with local BLM and Ochoco National Forest offices regarding access as motorized travel may be restricted to avoid soil damage and protect wildlife habitat. See this PDF online brochure for more information about turkey hunting in Oregon.
COUGARS are tied to deer, elk, and pronghorn and will be following dispersing animals as they move to higher elevations. Remember cougars must be checked in at an ODFW office within 10 days after harvest; please bring them in thawed and with mouths propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging. GROUND SQUIRRELS are active in hay fields and pastures. The best hunting will be on private lands, particularly along the Crooked River between Prineville and Paulina. Having permission from landowners is a must before hunting.
TURKEY season opened April 15. Toms are actively strutting, and birds continue to move to higher elevation as the snow gradually recedes. See this PDF online brochure for more information about turkey hunting in Oregon.
Spring bear hunting also opened April 15; see the forecast for what to expect.
For hunters wishing to pursue COUGAR, the best opportunity will in the Deschutes and John Day River canyons. Cougars can sometimes be found near bighorn ewes that have congregated to lamb. Hunters should glass open areas near bighorn lambing cliffs. Successful cougar hunters, remember check-in is mandatory; please bring them in thawed and with mouths propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
Those wishing to pursue COYOTE will find the best success near agricultural lands. Be sure to ask permission to hunt private lands. Limited opportunities may also be found at White River Wildlife area.
California Ground SQUIRRELS, or gray diggers, are very active with the recent warming trends in the area. The best hunting opportunities for squirrels are generally found on private agricultural ground, but good opportunity also exists on White River Wildlife area. Make sure to ask permission to hunt on private lands.
TURKEY and BEAR season opened April 15.
COYOTE and COUGAR hunters can find success in open areas along the eastern perimeter of the wildlife area. Remember cougars must be checked in at an ODFW office within 10 days after harvest; please bring them in thawed and with mouths propped open for easier tissue sampling, teeth collection and tagging.
The wildlife area is a vehicle regulated use area. Open roads have a green dot on them. Hunters bringing their ATVs are reminded that all vehicles are to stay on roads; cross country travel is prohibited. The roads for through vehicle travel have been closed for the winter and most of the roads will reopen April 1, 2009. Please use caution even on open roads, as spring moisture can create hazardous conditions. If a road appears too wet for travel, please find an alternate route.

Developmental coordination disorder is a childhood disorder that leads to poor coordination and clumsiness.
A small number of school-age children have some kind of developmental coordination disorder. Children with this disorder may:
Developmental coordination disorder may occur alone or with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or other learning disorders, such as communication disorders or disorder of written expression.
Children with developmental coordination disorder have difficulties with motor coordination compared to other children the same age. Some common symptoms include:
Physical causes and other types of learning disabilities must be ruled out before the diagnosis can be confirmed.
Physical education and perceptual motor training (combining movement with tasks that require thinking, like math or reading) are the best ways to treat coordination disorder. Using a computer to take notes may help children who have trouble writing.
Children with developmental coordination disorder are more likely to be overweight than other children their age. Encouraging physical activity is important to prevent obesity.
How well a child does depends on the severity of the disorder. The disorder does not get worse over time. It usually continues into adulthood.
Developmental coordination disorder can lead to:
Call for an appointment with a health care provider if you are concerned about your child's development.
Families who are affected by this condition should try to recognize problems early and have them treated. Early treatment will lead to future success.

High Phosphorous / Protein Wheat
I'm looking for a little help on a project I have been working on regarding high phosphorous content wheat. I noticed that high protein wheat also has a high phosphorous content - approximately equal to dark rye.
The hunch is that the phosphorous content plays into the heterofermentative pathway - supplying an excess of phosphates for acetic and lactic acid production.

A s Boulder-native Lize Brittin began recovering from a lifelong battle with anorexia, the best days were when she realized she hadn't thought about her body.
While in the throes of the illness, Brittin writes in her book, "Training on Empty," thoughts about her body, her weight and food consumed her mind constantly.
"Oddly enough, I am happier with my body and more accepting of it now than when I was at my sickest," Brittin writes. "At 80 pounds, I constantly felt fat. Today, I sometimes forget my body."
Brittin, who will turn 46 in January, was a standout runner at Fairview High in the early 1980s, winning back-to-back cross-country state championships in 1983 and 1984.
She went on to race at Brigham Young University, and then the University of Colorado-Boulder, to be near her old high school coach.
At 16, she set the record for the 14.3-mile, 7,700-vertical-feet Pikes Peak Ascent race with a time of 2 hours, 39 minutes and 44 seconds. But the 5-foot-3, 92-pound teen collapsed after crossing the finish line. She recovered 45 minutes later after receiving oxygen.
But while she was setting records, on the inside Brittin struggled with control, self-esteem, body issues and depression. Those are some of the same issues that women -- and men -- face every day when they are bombarded with confusing messages about their bodies and sexuality, Brittin said.
Coached to win, not to live
In the book, Brittin describes how joining the cross-country team in middle school exacerbated her body image issues.
Her coach encouraged her to be thin because for a time, it made her faster. But Brittin writes, "it's a fine line between being race fit and being too thin." Once she passed the point of healthy, she was plagued by injuries, and had no energy. Her race times increased, and she stopped winning.
Once Brittin became dangerously thin, her coach couldn't stand by her or support her through her illness, she writes. The book describes how he gave her an ultimatum: get healthy or you're off the team.
Looking back, Brittin said she can see her coach's negative influence on her self-esteem. Now, Brittin advocates for changes in the way athletes and coaches interact, starting with no talk of weight or size, other than how to eat healthy.
"It's difficult to know how to intervene," said former Fairview cross country and track coach Joanne Ernst in the book. (Ernst took over after Brittin graduated.) "There is new science today that helps confront the issue, but the information is still changing."
Though being thin may help a runner race faster for a while, it's not sustainable, Brittin says. In fact, many of the women she raced with in high school dealt with some kind of eating disorder, which ended their running careers prematurely.
"If coaches could take that time and say, 'What is going to get my athlete to the next level in the healthiest way possible?' rather than, 'Oh wow, she's running well so I'm just going to exploit it,'" Brittin said. "There are certain times where it's more important to keep that person healthy than to have them run well."
Removing the stigma
Brittin says she hasn't stepped on a scale in at least 15 years -- a sign to her that she's on the way to full recovery. She still runs, but around an hour a day instead of the dozens of miles she ran almost compulsively during the worst of her anorexia.
The book describes every agonizing moment during Brittin's fight against anorexia, from her time in rehabilitation centers to her recurring bouts of bulimia -- eating more than the allotted amount of food she gave herself that day, then forcing herself to throw up.
Brittin speaks freely and easily about the darkest moments in her life. Writing the book was cathartic, but she said she's most interested in how it can help others open up about their struggles with food.
"I'm trying to move into a direction that shows one, it's possible to recover, and two, that we don't have to be embarrassed about what we've done," she said. "For those of us who can't self-regulate when we're over-stressed, we tend to turn to addiction. It's nothing to be ashamed about."
Under the guise of being healthy
Here in Boulder, Brittin said she worries that she's surrounded by athletes who have some form of addiction -- exercising too much, training too hard or eating too little.
It's that type of environment that prompts healthy individuals to head toward unhealthy behaviors, she said.
"If you're not super fit or some kind of hardcore athlete and you're just normal, that's somehow not acceptable," she said. "There are a lot of people who are struggling who are fooling themselves into thinking it's OK. You see a lot of people who are over-training or doing too much yoga, and they sort of have this guise that it's healthy and it may not be."
Brittin's mother, Janine Brittin, described how difficult it can be for young people to sort out messages from their coaches, teachers, friends and parents about exercise and weight because they are "on a different psychological radar," she said.
Lize Brittin's eating disorder began when she was just 12 years old. It took her decades to recover, in part because she had to discover how to be healthy, her mother said.
"In the end it is up to the individual," Janine Brittin said. "And there is the rub, because it is very difficult to arrive at this kind of discovery. Only when Lize perceived that she was involved in her own recovery did her health begin to improve."

Today, we put away the bassinet. The bassinet that has held each of my children while they slept their first few precious months of life. The bassinet that in the middle of the night I would often get up to peek in, to make sure their little chests were still rising and falling. The bassinet that in the early morning hours, I would love to see a little fist pumping up in the air or a peek of a tiny toe.
0-3 month old baby clothes were gone through… I held back for safe keeping those outfits that conjure up special memories. The first real outfit Leah wore… the little sleeper sack from her first night at home as well as the tiny newborn sleeper, softer than any fabric I have ever felt, that my nephew and neice wore as well as all four of my kids.
It is hard for me to believe this chapter of my life is over. The chapter of new baby smells, giving birth, holding my newborn for the first time and introducing her to the world. I can't say that I am happy about it at all as I wish this stage would last a lifetime, but I am excited to see how our family grows as a unit now that we are whole. I can't wait to see what the next chapter will hold for us. I'm sure things just as wonderful.

Final Examinations
Final Examinations
Effective: January 3, 2011
Last Updated: Approved by EPC April 28, 2010; amended and approved by Campus Assembly on November 9, 2010; revised and approved by TLC on 4-26-17
Policy Owner: Academic Affairs
All 1xxx-5xxx courses offered for undergraduate credit, including online courses, should include a final graded component or end of term evaluation that assesses the level of student achievement of one or more course objectives. Instructors are encouraged to design the final component or evaluation to be comprehensive and culminating.
"Final graded component" or "end of term evaluation" may include a written final examination, project, composition or performance, demonstration of laboratory skills, or presentation. The date of the final graded component should be included on the course syllabus.
All final graded components are to be administered or due at the time and place according to the final exam schedule and not during the last week of class. Final Exam Week is part of the regular semester calendar.
For courses that end at a time other than the end of the term, final graded components are to be administered or due on the last scheduled day of the course.
Comprehensive and culminating means the integration and application of knowledge and skills that form the core of the course.
Exemptions to this policy can only be granted by the appropriate department head and college or school dean. Exemption documentation must be kept on file in the dean's office. Instructors are responsible for informing students of approved deviations from the published final examination schedules.
Requests for exemption must be initiated by the instructor of record for the course and forwarded through the department head to the college dean for action. Such requests are considered on a semester-to-semester basis.
Requests for permanent exemption for a course for which regular final graded component is inappropriate, such as independent study or seminar courses, should be initiated by the sponsoring department and forwarded to the college dean for action. Such requests, once granted, remain in effect until modified by action of the department.
Examinations Scheduling Procedures
There are two formats for final examinations, regular final examinations and common final examinations. All students are responsible for knowing the final examination scheduling information contained in the UMD Class Schedule and the UMD common examination schedule.
Regular final examinations are scheduled in accordance with the time and days of semester class meetings as indicated in the electronic class schedule documents. Those classes starting on the quarter or half hour use the closest on-hour start time. Example: for a class which normally meets at 9:15 or 9:30 T,Th, use the exam schedule for 9:00 T, TH. For classes with multiple start times the final exam shall be determined by the day and time of the earliest scheduled class period in a normal week.
Common final examinations may be scheduled for courses offered in three or more sections and must be requested by the department responsible for the instruction. When one or more common exams are scheduled at the same time, priority is given to the earliest class time, as determined by the Class Schedule. The common examination schedule is published in advance of the semester final examination period.
Final Examination Conflicts
UMD policy provides that no student may be required to take more than two final examinations on the same day. The regular final examination and the common examination schedules are constructed to minimize conflicts.
Conflicts are resolved according to the following policy. Regular final examinations take priority over common final examinations and both take priority over examinations that have been shifted to a time deviating from the published examination schedule. When three or more regular final examinations fall on the same day for an individual student, the first and last scheduled examinations on that day take priority over others. When one regular final examination conflicts with two or more common final examinations, the first scheduled common final examination on that day takes priority over other common final examinations. When three or more common final examinations fall on the same day, the first and last scheduled examinations on that day take priority over others. When one or more common final examinations are scheduled at the same time, priority is given to the earliest class time as determined by the regular class schedule.
In cases where a student has three final exams (or graded components) in one day and one of those is for an online course, the graded component for the online course should be considered the "middle" exam and thus, upon request from the student, rescheduled. In cases where a student has three final graded components in one day and two of those are for online courses, upon request from the student, one of the graded components for one of the online courses should be rescheduled. In cases where a student has three final graded components in one day and all of those are for online courses, upon request from the student, one of the exams for one of the online courses should be rescheduled.
Students will notify their instructors at least one week before the start of final exams during the regular school year or three days before the start of final exams during summer term of final exam conflicts.
Makeup Examinations
When a student is excused from a final examination because of a conflict of more than two exams scheduled on the same day, a makeup examination will be scheduled during the final examination period on a day and at a time of mutual convenience to the student and faculty member concerned. If mutual agreement cannot be reached, the faculty member may specify any time during the final examination period that does not create additional conflict with the rest of the student's scheduled examinations.

The Durango City Council and those in the marijuana industry grew a bit closer Tuesday afternoon as councilors hashed out remaining issues on the city's draft retail marijuana regulations.
The new proposed ordinance adopted several suggestions made at a tense public hearing last week. All councilors except Christina Rinderle have embraced recreational pot sales in the Central Business District. She was absent from Tuesday's study session, but City Attorney Dirk Nelson read an email from her strongly supporting banning the businesses downtown.
The biggest change made during the study session was eliminating a buffer between the shops and child care or day care facilities. Councilors previously had considered a 500-foot and 250-foot separations.
City Planner Nicole Killian said day care centers are not on the federal government's list. The federal government has enhanced penalties for drug activity near certain facilities, such as schools and parks. It has sent "cease and desist" letters to businesses too close to schools, including medical pot dispensaries in Durango. It has not been cracking down on businesses near parks.
Councilor Dick White suggested allowing the city's licensing authority to give a variance on the park separation distance.
State law requires a 1,000-foot separation between medical marijuana dispensaries and schools, substance-abuse treatment facilities and child care centers. However, Nelson said there's no such state requirement for recreational stores.
"I think we all from a staff level believe that going significantly smaller on schools would be problematic for people who were licensed," Nelson said. "Leave the schools alone."
The new draft proposal has a "buyer beware" clause saying marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law, and pot businesses could be shut down by federal agencies. The city is "ignoring" or "diminishing" the federal requirement on parks, city officials said, and business owners have to take the risk.
Those with medical pot licenses have first crack at either converting to a retail location or co-locating retail and medical sales. Previous city co-locating requirements were reduced in the latest draft regulations. State law says medical pot centers that serve only people older than 21 can be in the same place. If the medical establishment serves patients younger than 21, there has to be a complete separation of the businesses.
The ordinance also softened language on coupons, taking language directly from state statues that bans paper coupons and fliers "on the street" and free samples. But recreational store owners can advertise in a newspaper or magazine in general circulation within a city or on the Internet.
The city of Durango still will ban social clubs, marijuana cultivation and manufacturing facilities. It plans to consider allowing the stores in mixed-use buildings that have residential units as long as there's a separate entrance, they're on separate floors and use a ventilation system that meets city code.
Councilor Dean Brookie said he's heard from some concerned residents that there could be a recreational pot shop at East Third Avenue and College Drive. However, Killian said a business there would trigger a change of use, so the developers would have to find excess parking. The city also would consider if it would cause a major street impact.
The Durango City Council will hold another public hearing on retail and medical marijuana regulations next week.
