- STARS should submit its review documentation to the RUSA Organization Committee in time to allow distribution of copies in preparation for discussion at the Annual Conference.
- Normally, reviews are conducted during the Midwinter Conference and are administered by the Subcommittee on Reviews.
- If necessary to maintain the integrity of the schedules, reviews also may be conducted during the Annual Conference.
- Reviewers should not be members or active participants of their assigned committee. Reviews should be conducted at a regular business meeting of the committee.
Calendar and outline of the normal review procedures

Chair of Subcommittee notifies all Subcommittee members of committees slated for review and their meeting times and dates. By December 10, committee members inform Subcommittee Chair which times they are available.
- December 10
Chair of Subcommittee notifies subcommittee members of review assignments. In cases where committee members have not responded with their choices, assignments will be arbitrary. If subcommittee members are unable to attend their assigned meetings, the Subcommittee Chair should be notified. (If conflicts cannot be resolved, these committee reviews may be postponed until the Annual Conference and committee chairs informed of same.)

Committee and Section Reviews templates
- The Committee and Section Reviews letters and checklists should go out from the Chair of Organization to the chairs of the sections and committees being reviewed.
- Future chairs of Organization should copy the text from the template, insert relevant data, and send this off to the right people each Fall.
- The review checklists for committees incorporate the new questions that were approved by the RUSA Board in Toronto, 2003.
- These templates should not require frequent updating, although the Organization Committee should examine them every 1-2 years on principle.

Pauline Crown
Pauline Crown
My work with crowns started long ago with our family tradition of Christmas crackers, a tradition from our friends across the pond. This practice and my fascination with kings, queens and other strong figures fueled my desire to craft these elaborate crowns. Soon I was being asked to make crowns for people's birthdays and special events. Sometimes when a friend was down or sick I would make them a special one. I always made one for my dad's birthday. That's really what so special about these crowns. Each is hand made so that, like people, no two crowns are exactly alike. Wearing a crown is a proud declaration of self. The crown speaks to who we are and what inherently makes us unique.
I draw influence from notorious hat maker Philip Treacy, artist and jewelry designer Andrew Logan, HRH, beauty pageants, the Mexican Day of The Dead, and Frida Kahlo. Wherever I see a strong presentation of identity, I'm enamored.
Recently, Snappy Turtle saw one of my crowns and asked me to create a super special collection just for them.
For this collection, I went all out. Some crowns have flamingos on them while others have pearls and feathers. All styles and colors are represented and they come in small, medium, and large so everyone can join the fun.
On top of this collection, I also custom make them for bridal parties, showers, birthday parties, weddings, graduation parties or just because. They are the perfect gift for someone who has everything or is hard to buy for. Each crown comes in its own clear box so that when you're not wearing them you can display or store them safely.
My crowns can be bought at Snappy turtle, Amanda James Gallery or you can call to order them.
To the Royal in all of us.

Other obligations have kept me away from blogging for a month, and though I fully intended to mark and celebrate the publication of Jeff VanderMeer's wondrous Wonderbook last week, time was not on my side.
I am biased toward Wonderbook because Jeff is a close friend, I was a consultant on the text, and I wrote some stuff for it. But I don't think my biases warp my perception of the book in this case, because it is just undeniably beautiful. Simply as an object, it's magnificent. (And I had nothing to do with the design, layout, or production, so I think I can be at least partially objective about that.) After Jeff sent me an advance copy, I told him I just kept carrying it around with me wherever I went so I could leaf through it. I'd seen a lot of the book before, but there's a huge difference between looking at it as a series of draft PDFs and holding the whole thing in your hands.
I think the text offers useful, new, and invigorating ideas about how to create fiction — or anything, really, because this is fundamentally a book about creativity, even if the example vehicle for creativity in it is fiction — but I couldn't possibly pretend to be unbiased there.
The accompanying website Wonderbooknow.com is also pretty darn great. I've got a couple pieces of writing there, too, but for a sense of what makes the website so great, I'd point in you first toward the Editors' Roundtable, the sample of the editing process Jeff's novel Shriek: An Afterword went through with the extraordinary editor Liz Gorinsky, and the various interviews with writers. There's tons more stuff available at the site, and it's worth taking the time to explore. It's a remarkably rich and generous website to accompany a breathtakingly original and rewarding book.

Lochinvar® Adds NEW Models to ARMOR® Water Heater Line
Lochinvar® Adds NEW Models to ARMOR® Water Heater Line
Lochinvar Corporation is expanding its line of high-efficiency ARMOR® Water Heaters with the introduction of
three new models
. Now available with inputs ranging from
150,000 to 800,000 Btu/hr
, the industry-leading
is the ideal choice for commercial applications of any size. Offering the same proven design and advanced technology, ARMOR features a stainless steel heat exchanger, 5:1 modulating turndown and Lochinvar's SMART SYSTEM™ operating control. Designed to be installed with a separate storage tank, ARMOR also eliminates many potential problems encountered with traditional tank-type water heaters.
New Sizes, Same ARMOR Advantages
With its unique design, ARMOR protects against the harmful effects of lime scale buildup, which can cause a traditional heater to fail in as little as two to five years and substantially increase operating costs. Since ARMOR heats the water and then deposits it in an unfired storage tank, lime scale buildup does not impair the heat transfer efficiency. Equipped with a fully modulating 5:1 turndown burner, ARMOR can fire as low as 20 percent of maximum input and, depending on demand, smoothly modulate up to 100 percent. The 5:1 turndown, coupled with up to 98 percent thermal efficiency, allows ARMOR to eliminate wasted fuel and reduce operating costs to an absolute minimum.
Proven to be a SMART SYSTEM
Proven to be highly successful for maximizing hot water delivery, Lochinvar's SMART SYSTEM™ control includes a built-in cascading sequencer for installations using up to eight water heaters. This exclusive feature ensures optimum performance and efficiency by precisely modulating firing rates from minimum-demand situations when only one water heater is required at 20 percent of rated input to full-on 100 percent firing of up to eight units. With the addition of the larger ARMOR models, this allows for inputs up to 6.4 million Btu/hr.
100-Foot Direct-Vent Flexibility
As with the smaller sizes, the three new ARMOR models (600,000; 700,000; and 800,000 Btu/hr) can be vented using inexpensive PVC or CPVC pipe and permits direct-vent distances up to 100 feet for both combustion air and vent runs.

Top Tips for Reducing Estate Taxes in Canada
Though Canada doesn't have any "death taxes," taxes on your estate, including your Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) and Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs), can really add up. With a good estate plan you can keep those taxes at a minimum.
Follow these helpful tips and you'll keep the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) from being your biggest and happiest beneficiary!
Leave capital property that has gone up a lot in value to your spouse.
Name your spouse as beneficiary of your RRSPs and RRIFs.
Leave your children or grandchildren cash or property that has not gone up a lot in value.
Use the principal residence exemption to leave your vacation property to your children without triggering a capital gain.
Give away capital property while you're still alive if you have a capital loss to offset any capital gain
Donate money to charity in your will.
Make sure your will gives your executor power to use your unused RRSP contributions to make a contribution to your spouse's RRSP.
Give your executor enough information to make use of any unused capital losses when you die.

Tom Brady stepped in front of cameras and microphones for the first time since one of his most frequent targets became the primary target of a murder investigation.
Two of the Patriots' version of the "Big Three" had spoken.
Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft have had their time to address perhaps the biggest black eye in franchise history. Thursday, it was the players' turn to share their thoughts on the turbulent offseason.
Tom Brady stepped in front of cameras and microphones for the first time since one of his most frequent targets became the primary target of a murder investigation.
Brady, the biggest star ever to don a Patriot uniform, had his turn to address a sizeable media contingent. While the specifics he mentioned of his relationship with the incarcerated tight end were few to nil, there was no denying his tone was almost in lockstep with his coach's from the previous day.
"It's a terrible thing that happened," Brady said near the start of a nearly 17-minute session with reporters. "Look at the city of Boston this year, what happened in the marathon. Look, these are very terrible things that you wish never happened to anybody. There's a very human, compassionate element that we all have and when it's someone you know has been on our team, it's a very sad thing.
"I think that we as a team have tried to move forward with better awareness and understanding of these types of things."
Brady has every right to be livid with and horrified by his former teammate. Chances are, he is.
"I'm really not supposed to comment on Aaron," Brady said, before adding, "I wish I could."
Asked if Aaron fit in within the Patriots' locker room, Brady chose not to publicly analyze the matter.
"I don't think it matters at this point," he said.
Defensive captains Vince Wilfork, Jerod Mayo and Devin McCourty also spent time speaking with the media.
"First and foremost, it's a sad situation for the victim's family," Wilfork said. "You're not dealing with just football right now. You're dealing with a human being; you're dealing with life."
The true character of certain members of the Patriots, once thought to be a bellwether of the franchise, has been truly called into question of late.
These captains weren't about to let one rotten apple spoil what has been a track record of positive contributors to the franchise.
"I think that everyone who has played here has played a part of what the New England Patriots are all about," Brady said. "The guys like Kevin (Faulk) and Rodney (Harrison) and Larry (Izzo) and Mike (Vrabel) and Willie (McGinest). Guys like that are everything that you want to be as a football player on and off the field. People that represent the community and represent our city — Foxboro, Boston, everywhere in between. We realize that in light of the recent situation that, probably, those things get overshadowed.
"We have to work hard to kind of reestablish what we're all about."
So, does Brady have trust of this current group of guys, after being so severely betrayed by Hernandez?
"The best teammates that I've ever had, guys like Wes (Welker) or Deion Branch, I never had to worry about. That allowed me to be able to do my job."
Mayo echoed the quarterback's sentiments on teammates usually helping bring out a better player.
He also went into naming some of the better Patriots to roll through Foxboro, rather than the one who put them in the position they were in Thursday.
"We still have some great guys in the locker room, but I learned a lot from guys like Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel and all those guys, as far as work ethic and things like that are concerned," he said. "But we still have great guys — Tom, Vince, the coaches, the owners, all the way from the top on down, good guys."
The players are most likely done speaking publicly about the impact of Hernandez's actions on the team.
Football starts Friday morning, and what a welcome sight it will be.

If you managed to secure yourself a fish supper from Kingfish this last week, be glad as you were one of the last few who did. Unfortunately the bailiffs have today taken possession of this Worcester Park landmark so from tonight the restaurant, complete with tables set up ready for dining customers, lies dark, empty and closed.
I spoke to two ladies outside the shop who were shocked to find it closed as they had planed to buy their dinner from there. They instead had to make the trek up to Ocean fish bar at the top of the hill.
For others planning to enjoy fish and chips tonight or in the near future, please remember that unfortunately the local choices no longer include Kingfish.
Whatever happened the blog wishes the owners and staff of Kingfish well.

Two of the hot topics trending on Twitter Tuesday were Angelina Jolie and the I.R.S.
Beauty and the Beast.
Jolie stunned the world with a New York Times Op-Ed article explaining why she decided to have a preventive double mastectomy once she learned that she has the BRCA1 gene, which spikes the risk for breast and ovarian cancers.
The actress was close to her mother, who died at 56 after battling ovarian cancer for nearly a decade, and she wrote that she "will do anything" to be with her own children as long as she can.
"I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex," she wrote, adding that "I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."
I had to keep checking the byline to make sure the piece was really by Angelina Jolie. She has been the embodiment of physical perfection for so long — a fierce, tattooed warrior and seductress with a genuine wildness who made female action roles from Lara Croft to Mrs. Smith to Evelyn Salt absolutely believable.
So it was hard to read about the pain caused by the genetic imperfections lurking beneath that lush perfection, a curveball from a woman celebrated for her curves.
Jolie, 37, is a famous crusader for refugees. She has also had other, more noirish shades to her image, from wearing Billy Bob Thornton's blood in a vial around her neck to drugs, cutting, knife-collecting and depression to shoplifting Brad Pitt from America's sweetheart to the "Saturday Night Live" parody that presents the serial adopter and mother of six as a stalker of babies.
She knows that she will face criticism for elitism, given that she has the money to get the more than $3,000 BRCA testing and the best surgeons, while other women don't. Yet her courage in going public with the graphic details of her mutilation and reconstruction, even though she's part of an industry that considers a 10-pound weight gain a career catastrophe, makes her a real-life action heroine.
Ever since Rock Hudson gave a face to AIDS and softened the position of Ronald Reagan, we have known it is possible for Hollywood stars to ameliorate the stigma of disease and spark recognition, conversation and inspiration.
Jolie's health revelation overshadowed another one in the same newspaper by the woman who would be the first female mayor of New York City. Christine Quinn, the Council speaker and early leader to succeed Michael Bloomberg, told The Times's Kate Taylor about her descent — as a teenager trying to manage her mother's fatal breast cancer — into bulimia and alcoholism.
In a classic Irish Catholic quid pro quo with the heavens, Quinn said she believed that if she could be the perfect daughter, thin and pretty, somehow her mother might be saved.
"For a brief moment," she said of the early sensation of throwing up, "you've kind of expelled from your being the things that are making you feel bad."
The shame was harder to expel. "Asking for help, going to the rehab, dealing with bulimia, cutting back on drinking, getting drinking out of my life altogether — all of that helped me put the pieces back together," she said, adding that the final piece was her marriage to her wife, Kim Catullo, a corporate lawyer from New Jersey.
Unlike Jolie, Quinn faced a lot of skepticism about her motives for spilling her secrets, which will be chronicled in an upcoming campaign-season memoir.
Clearly, she wanted to control the way the news got out, rather than having it spread by her opponents in the mayor's race — one of whom may be Anthony Weiner, who has been on a revelatory and redemption odyssey of his own in The Times. And then there's her other rival, Bill de Blasio, whose wife has frankly shared her former life as a lesbian.
Quinn also wanted to sprinkle some humanity on an image that took hits when she looked like "Mayor Dracula" on a February cover of New York magazine and when she was skewered in an article in The Times in March about her screaming fits and volatile bursts of wrath and retaliation. Mayor Dracula has a bloody penchant for threatening to cut off the privates of those who get on her bad side.
Perhaps realizing her confession seemed more self-serving than public service, Quinn had a Q. & A. on Tuesday at Barnard with the college's president, Debora Spar, that ruled out any political questions.
"I hope that what I share in this book is helpful, particularly to young women and girls who feel stuck," Quinn said.
And she certainly hopes the book is helpful to one 46-year-old woman who feels stuck, castigated as an arrogant bully who moves this way and that, going as far to the left as she can without losing Mike Bloomberg, and fundamentally not believing in anything.
With Chris Christie, his admission that he had lap-band surgery under an assumed name to curb his obesity is a second-tier story. The first-tier story is that he's a Jersey guy who takes no guff.
Christine Quinn needs a first-tier story.

Groundbreaking ceremony held for future Dickinson facility
Dickinson Center, Inc. [DCI], formerly Dickinson Mental Health Center, held a groundbreaking ceremony Friday morning for their new facility along Servidea Drive atop Boot Jack Hill.The new facility will consolidate 10 distinct site- and community-based programs into a 28,200-square-foot facility and will house approximately 100 full- and part-time employees.Dickinson's chief executive officer Jack Goga gave a heartfelt presentation to board members, administrators, KTH-Hallstrom Construction, and to the county and borough officials who braved the cold to celebrate the birth of the facility."There is a rumor flying around that Dickinson is building a new facility," Goga said. "I am here today to tell you that is true and we are very fortunate to have a group of individuals in the name of KTH-Hallstrom building what will be a magnificent building for our organization."This is a project that has really been in the works for quite a few years. There has been an identified need for our organization; giving its growth and expansion particularly over the last 10 years, to really begin to think about the opportunity to consolidate our programs and coordinate our operations in a way that would be consistent with good business practices and being able to provide a more efficient level of care for our consumers and the residents of our community." A competitive bidding process this past spring resulted in KTH-Hallstrom, a regional design-build company in DuBois receiving the construction contract award. A guaranteed maximum price of $4,121,400 has been established for this building project. DCI has additionally received notification from Northwest Savings Bank of an approved commercial loan in the amount of $3.2 million for a 20-year term. The difference, or $921,400, will be paid for by a portion of agency capital investments, its general fund account, and/or net revenue distributions projected in fiscal year 2012. DCI has also initiated a search for other grant funding from private and corporate foundations to support the financing of this project.Pick up a copy of the Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Veteran West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has replaced Australia captain Michael Clarke as the top Test batsman in the world.
The reliable Chanderpaul leads Clarke by a single ratings point to regain his position at the top of the table, according to the latest ICC rankings, released yesterday.
Chanderpaul's return to the coveted spot follows his double century last month in the first Test against Bangladesh. He also scored 150 in the second Test. He is now the top-ranked batsman with 879 ratings points while Clarke shadows him closely on 878 points.
Clarke has slipped to second position after regaining the number-one spot last week at the conclusion of the Adelaide Test. South Africa batsman Hashim Amla has moved within four ratings points of becoming the number-one ranked batsman.
Amla, who was declared man-of-the-match in the Perth Test, has moved up two places to third position with 875 ratings points following his match-winning knock of 196 in the second innings of the series-decider.
Although four ratings points separate the top three batsmen, Clarke will have the first shot at regaining the number-one position when he leads his side in the first Test against Sri Lanka, which starts in Hobart on December 14. South Africa will return to the Test arena next year when it plays New Zealand in the first Test in Cape Town on January 2, while the West Indies are not scheduled to play a Test until March when it will host Zimbabwe for a two-Test series.††

H9 Marketing, LLC
I'm a full-fledged entrepreneur with a background in advertising & marketing for the technology industry. My Company, H9 Marketing is a consulting firm that advises clients on all facets of marketing. Our belief is that the best marketing combines both the "right" and "left" brain skillsets. Creativity, promotion and stellar writing is key...but equally important is data analysis, statistical insight, and quantitative research. H9 prides itself on combining these critical functions. The "H" is symbolic of the right brain, the "9" symbolic of the left side skill set.
Our target audience is changing direction - at first we were focused on small/medium businesses, but due to recent success we are swimming upstream and targeting medium and large sized companies. We are looking to grow our business amongst a target audience of technology based companies that invest heavily in Marketing as a discipline. In several cases, our clients are large companies with a growing demand of Marketing deliverables, and not enough bandwidth internally to fulfill projects. We are very interested in working with companies who aren't afraid and are comfortable with enlisting outside expertise for unbiased, real feedback and results. We are not solely a marketing company for technology markets only, when pressed - we always prioritize marketing as a discipline (for any client really), vs. vertical expertise and experience (which just happens to be more technology oriented).
We want a cool logo that embodies what H9 stands for:
- Marketing expertise
- True partnership and trusted source for our clients
- Right brain, left brain integration and know-how
- Technology focused and Innovative
Please visit our website, http://www.h9marketing.com - it has not been updated in quite some time, but is still somewhat relevant. The big difference is, again - we are focused on attracting bigger named clients due to recent successes and case studies with larger technology based companies.

I strongly disagree with Foster's 9/23 editorial, "So how is the Obama Doctrine working out for you now?" To accept the notion that George W. Bush was somehow superior foreign policy-wise to President Obama is absurd. To further accept the notion that Mitt Romney will be a better foreign policy steward than Obama is unlikely.
1. Afghanistan: In 2002, a year into the conflict there, President Bush had deployed less than 10,000 troops to the country despite it being larger in land area and similar in population than our soon-to-follow adversary Iraq, where 130,000 troops would initially be deployed. While overthrowing the Taliban proved relatively simple, the Bush administration failed to adequately address the post-invasion situation. In those early years the anti-western element was small, disorganized and ill-trained. Yet instead of gaining the upper hand by aggressively enlisting the Afghan people Bush merely held the line. With our minimal troop presence we essentially enfranchised the resistance to reorganize and strengthen, all while the Afghan populace was left largely unprotected and the Afghanistan/Pakistan border region left wide open. Having squandered early success, yet even when talk of strategic defeat loomed in 2008 President Bush acted only sheepishly with a minimal troop increase. The surge that followed, which recently ended, came at the direction of President Obama.
Now into a second decade of conflict, 68,000 US troops remain in Afghanistan as the US death toll approximates 2,000. Mitt Romney has alternately proposed an open-ended conflict devoid of negotiations with the enemy or has espoused the drawdown schedule as set by President Obama. So which is it?
2. Iraq: The Iraq War was an unmitigated foreign policy disaster. Nearly 4,500 US servicemembers died in this conflict, over 100,000 Iraqi civilians perished, and the war's full economic cost will range in the trillions of dollars. The war's premise was based upon the Bush administration's misuse and misunderstanding of intelligence as well as the overarching theory that the US could easily replace middle-eastern authoritarian regimes with representative democracies. Similar to Afghanistan however, Bush once again failed to appreciate post-invasion stability and governance. Despite real promise of success after removing Saddam, President Bush squandered a second opportunity and thus allowed Iraq to devolve into chaos and sectarian strife. US credibility throughout the world plummeted in the face of detainee abuse and unnecessary death and destruction.
On his campaign website Mitt Romney lists his current foreign policy team. Three openly advocated for the overthrow of Saddam even before Bush took office — Paula Dobriansky, Vin Weber, Robert Kagan. Two were key players in the Iraq War debacle — Dan Senor and Meghan O'Sullivan. And several others are direct reboots from Bush's cabinet and high-level staff — Michael Hayden, Michael Chertoff, Eric Edelman, etc. Considering the near-total lack of foreign policy successes during the Bush administration, this apparent redux of Bush's foreign policy apparatus seriously calls into question Mitt Romney's judgment.
3. Iran: Just after the post-invasion phase in Iraq the more moderate Khatami regime in Tehran offered the US a potentially breakthrough deal on the nuclear front. But fresh from the seeming victories in Afghanistan and Iraq the Bush administration was dismissive. Perhaps bolstered by Qadhafi's abandonment of nuclear ambitions in Libya, Bush may have believed Iran would eventually roll over as well. But what happened in the end? The Iraq debacle only strengthened Iran's regional stake. By 2005 the US was virtually powerless to stop Iran from waging guerrilla-style warfare in Iraq as Iranian-backed fighters killed US troops with impunity. With the US thus bogged down in multifaceted ethno-sectarian strife, Iran's nuclear program continued on unabated.
Now Mitt Romney disparages President Obama's record in deterring Iran, saying Obama should have instituted "crippling sanctions" years ago. Meanwhile however, several Iranian nuclear scientists have died under mysterious circumstances, successful cyberwarfare attacks have been conducted, Israel won't even declare a "red line" of its own, and the tough sanctions Romney now advocates were put in place by � Obama!
4. Russia: In March Mr. Romney declared Russia the US's "Number One geopolitical foe." Eerily reminiscent of President Bush's "axis of evil" phrase in his 2002 State of the Union address, we should consider the end results of Mr. Bush's pronouncement — North Korea eventually achieved the bomb, Iran is now a regional power, and Iraq did not possess a single weapon of mass destruction. Undoubtedly trying to pass himself off as Reaganesque, Romney's characterization will prove just as counterproductive. That's because economics had a great deal more to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union than any action or statement made by Reagan. And Russia is no longer in that same predicament.
Yet according to Foster's President Obama is weak on foreign policy because he was caught telling the truth to Dmitri Medvedev and because four Americans died in Benghazi. Because Obama supposedly snubbed Israel and because he should've tweaked the time of attack in Libya. Yet look at the "logical course" set by Bush, where war, ineptitude and indecision yielded close to 7,000 US deaths and perhaps 200,000 lives lost in total. And from it all what have we gained?
Who will be the better foreign policy steward?

Australia 18
New Zealand 10
The Kiwis produced one of their best performances in recent times in a one-off test against the Kangaroos, however they still came up short, losing a thrilling match in Townsville 18-10.
Although the signs were positive enough, the ultimate failing was familiar - they simply didn't score enough points.
Ten is never going to be enough to beat Australia. They had their chances to at least double that tally, but the final pass never stuck, and in the end the Kangaroos claimed the victory thanks to a second half penalty and a try by Darius Boyd eight minutes from full time.
Until that point the game was anyone's, with Josh Hoffman coming closest to breaking it open for the Kiwis.
That the Kiwis' major tormentor was Palmerston North born prop James Tamou won't have made the defeat any easier to swallow for the Kiwis.
In a tremendous first half of football it was the Kiwis who drew first blood.
Just as he did in May's Anzac test, hooker Issac Luke opened the scoring with a typical dummy half scoot after Krisnan Inu had been dragged down close to the line.
It was fair reward for the Kiwis, who turned in slick start to edged the opening exchanges.
Debutant prop Sam Kasiano was particularly prominent, producing some surging runs, with Kangaroos tacklers clinging onto his 130kg frame like Lilliputians.
The game changed when Kasiano departed for the bench, with the Kangaroos slowly but surely negotiating the upper hand.
Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith finally unlocked the resilient Kiwis defence, pouncing with an angled 5m run from dummy half after his side had returned a 60m Inu line drop out to within sight of the line on three tackles.
Just when the Kiwis appeared to have a weathered a 15 minute storm of Kangaroos pressure, James Tamou struck, surging through a gap courtesy of a Cooper Cronk skip pass to score his first try for his adoptive nation after stepping Kiwis fullback Josh Hoffman with ease.
The Kangaroos appeared set to take a lead into half time but the Kiwis showed they had plenty of spark left, with Gerard Beale scoring out wide after Sam Perrott had soared above Billy Slater to claim a towering Benji Marshall bomb.
Quick hands from Luke and Dean Whare laid on the try for Beale out wide, with Inu's missed conversion attempt sending the sides to the break locked at 10-10.
The Kiwis went close to going ahead from a long range break out 12 minutes into the second half but Hoffman spilled Elijah Taylor's desperate pass 5m from the line.
The Kangaroos had the next chance, only to denied when Thurston was brilliantly held up by Hoffman and Simon Mannering.
Thurston nudged the Kangaroos in front with an angled penalty goal with 17 minutes remaining after a contentious strip ruling on Inu.
The first try of the half finally came when Nate Myles produced a brilliant offload after stumbling when in a gap. Greg Bird surged deep into Kiwis territory before unloading to Darius Boyd, who angled his run cleverly to score underneath the posts to settle the contest.
Australia: Tries: C. Smith, J. Tamou, D. Boyd; Goals J. Thurston 3
New Zealand: Tries I. Luke, G. Beale; Goal K. Inu

Dallas Stars sign Cristopher Nilstorp to one-year contractby Dallas Stars Staff / Dallas Stars
The Dallas Stars announced today that the club has signed goaltender Cristopher Nilstorp to a one-year, two-way contract through the 2013-14 season.
Nilstorp, 29, posted a 1-3-1 record in five appearances last season for Dallas with a .897 save percentage (SV%) and a 3.09 goals-against- average (GAA) during his rookie campaign in the NHL. He recorded the first win of his career against San Jose on Feb. 23, 2013, stopping 31-of-32 shots faced.
The Malmo, Sweden, native appeared in 39 games last season with the Texas Stars, Dallas' development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL), recording a .907 SV% and 2.38 GAA with a record of 19-13-3. He finished the 2012-13 season tied 12th amongst AHL goaltenders in GAA. Nilstorp appeared in nine games during the 2013 Calder Cup Playoffs, posting a .922 SV%, 2.30 GAA with a 4-5-0 record.
Prior to joining the Dallas Stars organization last summer, Nilstorp helped Farjestad BK capture the Le Mat Trophy in 2011, which is earned annually by the victors in the Swedish Elite League playoffs. He went undrafted and was signed by Dallas as a free agent on June 5, 2012.

Who says "new China?"
Interested in Language
We say Guangdong Province, without THE,
but in the New York Times, a sentence:
Four of the cities are outside the heavily industrial Guangdong Province, where all three Honda auto parts strikes have taken place.
If the existence of THE is due to the existence of an adjective, then why don't we say THE new China but simply new China?
Who says "new China?"
Reorganized National Government of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
a sentence in bold you can find
The name is "New China." "New" is not an adjective, but part of the proper name. That's why there is no "the" used.
Thank you. "Proper name" is a good answer; then why don't we directly say Kuomintang but THE Kuomintang?
Apart from this, was I right in saying "We say Guangdong Province, without THE"
With proper nouns, there are different uses of the definite article with different types of noun. We generally use the with political parties.
wawawa.... This is exactly the answer I want to have. I've been rummaging through grammar books but failed.
Apart from this, was I right in saying "We say Guangdong Province, without THE"
Please be aware that I'm neither a native English speaker nor a teacher.
This ignorant member has not been able to sleep well because I have been thinking about this all night -- and day.
I have two ideas. I do not claim that either one is correct. We will not know until the thread starter answers the question.
1. Someone on the Web with the user name "Sanya" says that "wa" in Cantonese Chinese is a sign of surprise or wonder.
I then checked Google books, and it seems that "wa" in Cantonese can mean something like our Wow!
2. I also checked Google, and it seems that there's a Japanese pop(ular) song with the words "wa wa wa." It's on YouTube.
I hope that the thread starter answers us. I'm a very old man who needs his sleep!

It was a real pleasure to work on. We conducted user research, talked to journalists at news sites and mapped out a thick set of ideas that we believe can help strengthen one of Chicago's best investigative news sources.
There are three great places you can visit now to learn about the work we did, and they are:
• Medill's website, where you can read an interview with me about our research and final proposals.
• Our Disparity Map, which is an interactive tool we developed to display race, education, income and housing information about Chicago communities.
• And of course, a live recording of our final presentation at the McCormick Tribune Center, where you can see everything explained. It's about an hour and a half long, though, so find a comfortable chair.

For folks who want a high-po old-school ride with a minimum of effort, Roush will now sell you one of their crate engines matched to an aftermarket performance transmission — and they'll do all the fine-tuning and dial in for you. You'll need to be a Blue Oval fan in order to take advantage of the aptly-named "Ford in a Ford" program, but we're pretty sure this is exactly what your old Mustang needs. Or at least one of us does. Look for the first application, a 511SRFE engine in a 1963 Galaxie, to debut at the Goodguys PPG Nats in Columbus, OH this weekend. Full release after the jump.
LIVONIA, Mich. (July 7, 2008) - Street rod enthusiasts and car builders have traditionally had their share of issues mating the transmission to the engine in a project car; either one or the other would install smoothly, but rarely both would work in tandem without a lot of additional work.
ROUSH(R) Performance has solved this problem with the introduction of the "Ford-in-a-Ford" powertrain package which includes a powerful ROUSH crate engine perfectly matched to a complete aftermarket performance transmission. All hardware, calibrations, and everything needed for a seamless installation is included.
The first application was installed in a 1963 Ford Galaxie which paired a ROUSH 511SRFE engine with 525 horsepower and 575 lb.-ft. torque to a Ford 4R100 four-speed automatic transmission. This car, and powertrain package, will debut at the 11th Annual Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio on July 11 to 13.
Bob Corn, a former Ford engineer who now works at ROUSH, is the project manager of the package development which will eventually include both short and tall deck small-block engines. During his tenure with Ford, which ran from 1962 through 1981, Corn was instrumental in developing several of the now-legendary Ford engines, including the 427 which is often heralded as one of the most instrumental in automotive history. His background and knowledge made Corn a natural choice to help ROUSH Performance bring a complete powertrain package to market, a product offering unmatched by anyone else.
"As we looked around there was nobody that offered a complete engine powertrain package that was just 'plug and play,' to borrow a computer term," said Corn. "What ROUSH is offering the car builders is a complete kit with a recognizable and proven engine, mated with an industry-leading transmission. All the parts are included in the ROUSH kit - things like the calibration, electronics, throttle position sensor, torque converter and everything that will be needed is already part of the package and all designed to work together and drop right into the chassis. ROUSH is doing all the hard work on the powertrain so all the customer has to be concerned about is the actual car build itself."
Although the 511SRFE engine was the model used to develop the concept, ROUSH will soon offer a complete line of engine and transmission packages that can fit a wide variety of applications.

So pretty much I am about to start and place together the places in my world and if I can I will upload the crud map, that one of the players have made and then the real map I use.
To start the very north is the town of Awesometon. The whole town is on the edge of a 350ft drop to water level. On top of the mountain and on edge of a cliff. This town is rather small at the start of the game with around 200 people about it. A lot of those people are trades that open mats and rugs to sell
well i have made my own world. mostly because i didn't like the one my player was walking around in.
all my players are new to this as i am to. so i have let them "reroll" there char 3 times at current level. going from a fighter to a mage but keeping all loot and what not. just changeing it up. don;t have a full list of everyone playing but i have rocked out with a top of 9 players on one bored raiding a chruch that was kinda hard and i don;t want to do that

I was in a pretty good mood last weekend until I cast my eye upon Saturday's Wall Street Journal, whose front page ran an article entitled "Individual Investors Pile into Market as Stocks Rise."
The headline was bad enough; the story nearly gave me heartburn.
It sported the usual statistics — trading volume is way up at eTrade Financial (Nasdaq: ETFC) ETFC, +4.64% , Charles Schwab SCHW, +1.24% and TD Ameritrade Holding AMTD, +1.27% ; margin debt hit an all-time high in December, and all this occurred after the Standard & Poor's 500 index SPX, -0.39% had soared 171% from its March 2009 lows.
But it was the anecdotes about what investors were doing that were most disturbing.
A 31-year-old equipment salesman from Louisiana makes two trades an hour from his brokerage account. That's not two trades a week or even two a day, but two an hour — or, by my count, over 3,000 a year.
Of course, he's also contemplating quitting his job to become a full-time trader. Sound familiar?
Then there was a 63-year-old IT professional (I'm not naming names here to spare them embarrassment) who lost more than half her money when the dot-com bubble burst and is now getting back in the game, "moving into and out of cash quickly as she tries to get a feel for which direction the market is headed."
The people featured in the article are making all the mistakes in the book: jumping in to the market again after a huge, multiyear run; buying individual stocks, a loser's game for the vast majority of investors, and, worst of all, trading.
Despite all the sales pitches, active trading is a disaster for most of its practitioners: Extensive research using data from millions of trading accounts found that 99% — that's no typo — of active traders lost money in the markets.
And yet, here we go again.
So, we need to ask, have investors learned anything in the last 15 years, which saw the dot-com bust of 2000, followed by the real estate bubble and then the biggest financial crisis and deepest recession since the 1930s?
Well, some have but many haven't.
I spoke with John Hauserman, a certified financial planner in Marriottsville, Md., and author of "RetirementQuest: Make Better Decisions," whose clients are mostly "baby boomers on both sides of retirement."
"After the dot.com bust, everybody seemed to have learned their lesson — they wouldn't touch stocks," he told me.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – The VCU Men's & Women's Track & Field headed to the 2012 Virginia Tech Challenge and saw a number of positive performances from both sides.
Senior Nicole Walters impressed in the 800 meters, finishing in second place in the event while taking down her own school record in the event. The Orange, Va., native crossed the finish line in 2:12.26, besting her previous school record time of 2:13.84 set back in 2011. "It's really good to see Nicole do so well," said VCU Head Coach Jon Riley. "I think she has the ability to better that record breaking performance, so I am excited to see how well she will do at the ECAC Championships in two weeks.
After finishing in third place in the preliminaries of the women's 60 meter dash at 7.64 seconds, junior Dionna Hayes turned it up a notch in the finals to shave some time and move up a spot in the winner's circle. Hayes crossed in 7.51, earning second place honors.
"I was pleased with Dionna's performance," added Riley. "She is beginning to get in to form. I can see improvements, but we still need to fine tune some things prior to ECACs."
Freshman sprinter Darius Vaughn continued his hot streak, placing fifth in the 200 meter dash with a time of 22.05 seconds. "I like the way Darius finished his race," commented Riley. "He improved on his IC4A qualifying time with a personal record today. If he stays focused and cleans up a few things in training, he may surprise himself the next time he steps on the track."
Freshman Kiara Porter set a school record in Blacksburg, with performance in the 400 meter dash. Porter ran a time of 54.35 seconds, giving her second place honors and breaking Shaunette Davey's school record from 2004 (54.77 seconds). "Kiara executed the acceleration phase the way we planned and ran the rest of the race with heart and determination," said Riley. "She put in the work at practice and it's the main reason why we have seen solid performances at the meets."
Freshman thrower Ryan Coles had what Coach Riley called a career changing day, becoming just the third thrower in VCU history to ever break the 16 meter mark missing out on 53 feet by a mere fraction of an inch. Coles' heave landed 16.14 meters and earned him third place honors. "This is a testament to all his hard work, dedication and ability to execute," added Riley. "This is what we have come to expect from our young throwers and we continually find ourselves excited by the direction they are headed in."
Senior Jazlynn Finney literally jumped into second place in the long jump, as she landed 5.76 meters.
Junior Alex Hinton turned in a solid performance in 1000 meters, placing eighth and qualifying for IC4As with a time of 2.28.75 seconds. "Alex ran a hard race and looked good while doing it," said Riley.
The Rams saw a number of student-athletes set personal records, including Andrew Shipp (triple jump – 14.11 meters), Kyle Sipple (600 meters – 1:21.69) and George Moore (400 meters – 49.45).
The Black & Gold had two athletes claim personal records in the same event, coming in the 1000 meters, in Niema Eaves (3:03.13) and Erin Geraghty (3:04.66).
The Rams will compete in the Mason Last Chance meet on Sunday, Feb. 26; it marks the last indoor meet that athletes have to qualify for either ECACs or IC4A Championships.

Teeth Whitening
Opalescence Boost is a chemically activated power whitening gel that provides brighter, whiter teeth after just 40 minutes in the dental chair. The powerful 40% hydrogen peroxide gel is chemically activated, so it doesn't require a hot, uncomfortable light to work.
Opalescence Boost consists of two syringes: The first contains 38 percent hydrogen peroxide, the active tooth whitening ingredient. The second syringe contains fluoride and potassium nitrate (PF), which helps strengthen tooth enamel, reduce sensitivity and protect against cavities. When mixed, the gel produces a distinct red color to help ensure correct placement and full removal of the product.
Safe and effective, Opalescence Boost usually takes only one dental visit to complete. While one visit is all you need to achieve a brighter smile, difficult stains or extreme discoloration may require additional treatments.
At W Dental Group, Opalescence Boost is just one of many teeth whitening options. Call us at 210-523-0000 to schedule a consultation.
Take Home Trays
One option to whitening your teeth is a bleaching procedure that uses custom take-home whitening trays to put the healthy look back into your smile without the expense of costly, generic cosmetic treatment. Many over-the-counter products are available for whitening teeth without dentist supervision. However, for the most effective and safest whitening treatment, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry recommends using custom-fitted mouth trays made by your dentist.Read more about Take Home Trays

Dual Throttle Valves
Late-model sport bikes often use large-bore throttle bodies to generate high levels of power. However, with large diameter throttles, when a rider suddenly opens the throttle, the unrestricted torque response is anything but gentle and often more than the rider can handle. Dual throttle valve technology was designed to tame engine response while contributing to performance.
On fuel-injected models, throttle bodies generally have only one throttle valve per cylinder. On models with dual throttle valves, there are two throttle valves per cylinder: in addition to the main valves, which are physically linked to the throttle grip and controlled by the rider, a second set of valves, opened and closed by the ECU, precisely regulates intake airflow to ensure a natural, linear response. With the air passing through the throttle bodies becoming smoother, combustion efficiency in improved and power is increased.
Like other Kawasaki engine management technology, Dual Throttle Valves were designed with the philosophy of "following the rider's intention, while providing natural-feeling support." They are featured on many Kawasaki models.
Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension
Compared to Kawasaki's traditional Uni-Trak rear suspension, which mounts the shock unit vertically, with Horizontal Back-link rear suspension, the shock unit is almost horizontal. Kawasaki's original suspension arrangement locates the shock unit very close to the bike's centre of gravity, greatly contributing to mass centralisation. And because there is no linkage or shock unit protruding beneath the swingarm, this frees up space for a larger exhaust pre-chamber (an exhaust expansion chamber situated just upstream of the silencer). With a larger pre-chamber, silencer volume can be reduced, and heavy exhaust components can be concentrated closer to the centre of the bike, further contributing to mass centralisation. The result is greatly improved handling.
Another benefit is that the shock unit is placed far away from exhaust heat. Because it is more difficult for heat from the exhaust system to adversely affect suspension oil and gas pressure, suspension performance is more stable. Horizontal Back-link rear suspension offers numerous secondary benefits like this.
Assist & Slipper Clutch
Based on feedback from racing activities, the Assist & Slipper Clutch uses two types of cams (an assist cam and a slipper cam) to either drive the clutch hub and operating plate together or apart.
Under normal operation, the assist cam functions as a self-servo mechanism, pulling the clutch hub and operating plate together to compress the clutch plates. This allows the total clutch spring load to be reduced, resulting in a lighter clutch lever feel when operating the clutch.
When excessive engine braking occurs – as a result of quick downshifts (or an accidental downshift) – the slipper cam comes into play, forcing the clutch hub and operating plate apart. This relieves pressure on the clutch plates to reduce back-torque and help prevent the rear tyre from hopping and skidding.
Economical Riding Indicator
Using high-precision electronic control for engine management, Kawasaki models can achieve a high level of fuel efficiency. However, fuel consumption is greatly affected by throttle use, gear selection, and other elements under the rider's control. The Economical Riding Indicator is a function that indicates when current riding conditions are consuming a low amount of fuel. The system continuously monitors fuel consumption, regardless of vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position and other riding conditions. When fuel consumption is low for a given speed (i.e. fuel efficiency is high), an "ECO" mark appears on the instrument panel's LCD screen. By riding so that the "ECO" mark remains on, fuel consumption can be reduced.
While effective vehicle speed and engine speed may vary by model, paying attention to conditions that cause the "ECO" mark to appear can help riders improve their fuel efficiency – a handy way to increase cruising range. Further, keeping fuel consumption low also helps minimise negative impact on the environment.

THURSDAY, June 9, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Although nearly all American children get the recommended vaccinations to prevent serious diseases, many parents express concerns about the shots, and a small number refuse to have their kids inoculated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
About 95 percent of parents said their kids had received all the vaccinations or would get them all, which was a record high, a 2010 survey found. But about 5 percent of parents said they would decline some vaccines, and 2 percent said their little ones would receive no vaccines, the researchers said.
"We are reassured that, overall, parents are vaccinating their kids according to the recommended schedule," said lead researcher Allison Kennedy, an epidemiologist in CDC's Immunization Services Division.
"But we did find that most parents do have questions or concerns about vaccines," she said.
Better education efforts could resolve those doubts, Kennedy said. Doctors need information on the value and safety record of vaccines so they can help parents make an informed decision.
Recent outbreaks of mumps, measles and whooping cough show that these deadly diseases still exist, Kennedy said. "Because of successful vaccination programs," many young parents don't remember when these diseases were epidemic, she noted.
The report is published in the June issue of Health Affairs.
For the study, Kennedy's team used data from the annual HealthStyles survey, which gathered information on parental attitudes toward childhood vaccination from 376 households.
While 23 percent of the parents said they had no concerns about vaccines, most had one or more concerns, the researchers found.
Parents mentioned pain from the injection, getting too many shots at one time and the safety of ingredients in the vaccines.
Some parents also worried that vaccines could cause disease or are being given for illnesses children are unlikely to get, the investigators found.
Parents who said their kids would not get all the recommended vaccinations were likely to think too many vaccines are given in the first two years of life or that vaccines can cause learning difficulties, especially autism. The autism theory has been widely refuted.
One in three parents added that they are not satisfied with the information they get from their children's doctor about the safety and necessity of vaccines.
Much of the information parents get about vaccines comes from their doctor or friends, Kennedy said. One-quarter said they took their information from the Internet, twice the number seen in a different survey in 2009, the researchers pointed out.
Dr. Paul Offit, chief of the division of infectious diseases and director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, is concerned -- but not surprised -- that resistance to vaccination still exists.
Offit, an outspoken advocate of vaccination, said the movement against vaccinations has resulted in outbreaks of diseases all but unheard of just a few years ago.
"I try to reassure parents with the science," he said. And he tells them that a decision against vaccination is not risk-free. "It's a choice to take a different and more serious risk," he explained.
"We are seeing outbreaks of measles, mumps and whooping cough to degrees we haven't seen in the previous 10 years. It's a dangerous and, frankly, a misinformed choice not to get a vaccine," he said.
Before vaccines, whooping cough killed 8,000 children in the United States annually, diphtheria was a common cause of death among young people, and polio caused tens of thousands of cases of paralysis, he pointed out. Measles resulted in 3,000 to 5,000 deaths, Offit said.
Even though the data linking vaccines to autism has been discredited, some people still believe it, he noted.
"We are far more compelled by fear than reason, and fear wins," Offit said. "We don't fear the diseases, so it's very easy to scare us about these other things," he stated.
But as outbreaks of preventable diseases become more common, "we will get to a level where we will be scared enough of the diseases again that we will start to vaccinate again," Offit said.

Social image-sharing site Pinterest, which is the toast of Silicon Valley and the VC world, has passed 10 million users after only 9 months.
TechCrunch reports that it got exclusive stats from ComScore showing that Pinterest had 11.7 million unique monthly visitors in January 2011. That's up from only 7.5 million in December...and a scant 418,000 last May.
That's the fastest growth ever for a standalone site.
Users aren't spending that much time at the site -- about 90 minutes a month, compared with 7 hours for Facebook. But it's clear that Pinterest is a huge phenomenon.
Most interesting, it took off among non-techies first. That's a great reminder for startups trying to stand out -- the world is a lot bigger than your friends who work at tech companies. Sometimes, you have to get outside the bubble.

Summer in Shawano...Nevermore.
When Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore, Lenore never showed up in Shawano during summer vacation. I asked her aunt when she was coming, but her aunt said she wasn't sure. I wrote Lenore a letter asking when she was coming to Shawano and she only responded, "nevermore." I wrote again and asked why, and she responded, "Art Modell has taken the one thing I adore. The Browns are nevermore."
I never saw Lenore after that and for this reason I hate the effing Ravens and all they stand for. Tonight, their playoff hopes are nevermore.
Go, Pack.

I'm so jacked up at work today for the whoopin we put on dem darn ravens I can bearly work.
My heart is still beating hard, just like the Packers are the Ravens. Did you hear the quote on JSonline from Ray Rice:
"Ravens running back Ray Rice wasn't very nice, either. This is what he told Drew Olson at OnMilwaukee.com: "To be honest with you, it was just Lambeau Field. I didn't see anything special. They put us in the middle of nowhere and it's not a real exciting place. Everything about this place is terrible, to be honest with you."
We pissed dem ravens off so much they never ever want to come back. That is just dominent. Nice work defense.

MLB draft notebook: Yankees' pick Greg Bird seeking first-round money, Logan Moore likely to sign with Phillies
Greg Bird is shaping up to be this year's version of Kevin Gausman — a big-time college recruit who has a major decision ahead of him.
Gausman, Bird's teammate at Grandview in 2010, ultimately ended up passing up a chance to sign with the Dodgers after he was a sixth-round pick by the team last summer. (Gausman went on to finish 5-6 his freshman season with a 3.51 ERA, and a team-high 86 strikeouts against just 23 walks. He'll be a rare draft-eligible sophomore in 2012.)
Like Gausman, Bird fell a bit because of the type of money he's asking for. Bird, the state's Gatorade player of the year, is seeking a contract more in line with a first-round pick.
He could have gone as high as the second or third round, but went in the fifth round to the Yankees.

Goshen, Ind., elected officials and employees say they will work their hardest to find a way the city can help Cequent Towing Products employees, but finding a solution might be difficult.
The Goshen News reported that parent company TriMas Corp. recently announced a preliminary recommendation to shut the Goshen facility, moving production lines to Reynosa, Mexico, according to a company statement. While it's not a final decision, employees expect to hear the outcome by late November, according to the statement.
Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman and Dorinda Heiden-Guss, director of the Elkhart Economic Development Corp., are working to schedule a meeting with Cequent officials.
"I don't know if there is anything we can do," Kauffman said Wednesday (Oct. 24), adding he is certainly willing to try to help retain the jobs.
Heiden-Guss said it is a wage and benefits issues and as soon as she heard the news about the closure plans Friday she went to the plant to meet with company officials and was referred to other executives to arrange a future meeting. She believes that meeting will occur soon.
"Your heart does bleed for (Cequent employees)," Kauffman said. "These aren't high-paying jobs anyway."
He also expressed frustration with TriMas. He said the company had a good profit in 2011. He said of the planned move to Mexico, "I think it's to drive the wages down and the profit up."
The city's most likely way of reclaiming anything against Cequent is through property tax phase-ins, according to city attorney Larry Barkes, who spoke at Tuesday's City Council meeting. The City Council approved two property tax phase-ins for the company over the past seven years, both for equipment improvements.
