Ravages of time, exposure to harmful elements and minor impacts result in compromised grille parts which significantly degrade the appearance of your vehicle. If you're looking for premium grade replacement parts that are identical to your original components in every aspect, factory correct K-Metal restoration parts are just the thing.
Body repair is expensive enough without paying more than necessary for quality parts. No worries though, superior K-Metal grilles are a sensible alternative to the high dealer price markup.

K-Metal's genuine quality reproductions are right what the doctor ordered if you want to let your car put its face forward. They provide the same quality and durability as original components.

Part of the Planet Money T-shirt Project
This is the story of how the garment industry is transforming life in Bangladesh, and the story of two sisters who made the Planet Money T-shirt.
Shumi and Minu work six days a week operating sewing machines at Deluxe Fashions Ltd. in Chittagong, Bangladesh. They each make about $80 a month.
To get to the small room that the sisters share with Minu's husband, you squeeze between two buildings, make your way along the wall, and spill out into a little neighborhood of boxlike rooms, all crammed on top of each other. Their room is upstairs, under a tin roof.
There's no running water in their room, and no kitchen. There's a TV, which Minu bought with the money she earned sewing clothes. There's also the box the TV came in, which takes up scarce shelf space in the small room. Minu was so proud of her purchase, she couldn't bear to throw the box away. "I feel too good when I think about it," she says, with a quick smile.
In the past decade, millions of Bangladeshis have started working in the garment industry. Many of them are like Shumi and Minu: They grew up in villages where conditions are even worse than they are for factory workers in the city.
When Shumi and Minu were growing up, sometimes there wasn't enough food to eat. They had three younger sisters who all died before they were 7. Now, Shumi and Minu are able to send money home. It isn't much, but it makes a big difference in the village.
"Now, we can eat whatever we want," their mother says. Their parents have built a new house, made of brick, to replace their old, bamboo house. And their younger brother can stay in school.
The rise of factory jobs in Bangladesh has brought profound cultural changes to the country as well. You can see the shift in just the few years that separate Minu and Shumi.
Minu, the older sister, is in her mid-20s. (The sisters aren't sure of their exact ages.) She's cynical and chews tobacco wrapped in betel leaf.
Minu has a 7-year-old daughter who lives back in the village with her grandparents. "I miss her," Minu says through a translator. "If she were here now, I'd be putting little clips in her hair." But there's nobody to watch Minu's daughter while Minu is at work here in the city.
Shumi, who is about 19, is Minu's opposite. Where Minu is reserved, Shumi is bubbly. Where Minu is serious, Shumi smiles. She loves her makeup and spends time doing her hair. It's hard for her to get through a story without laughing.
Minu's father married her off when she was a teenager, following the local tradition. An unmarried daughter "becomes a big burden," her father told us. "I have to spend money on their food and lodging."
Minu and her husband fight a lot. He goes through her phone and accuses her of cheating with the men she works with. She's a little scared of him. "I'm not capable to forgive my parents," Minu says. "They just destroyed my life."
By the time Shumi was a teenager, the rules of life in Bangladesh were changing. Rather than get married off, Shumi dropped out of school to go work with her sister in a factory.
Shumi's personal life is nothing like Minu's. Shumi has her own savings account. She has a boyfriend. Back in the village, her family would never let her talk to a boy who wasn't a relative. But here on her own, she takes rickshaw rides with her boyfriend. They hold hands; he tells her he loves her.
And, Shumi says, she won't consent to an arranged marriage like her sister's. "If I marry someone, then it should be my boyfriend," she says.
This is the world behind our T-shirt: three people in a small room dreaming of a better life. But for Minu and Shumi, this little room with the TV may be as far as they get. There aren't many jobs outside the garment industry, especially for women who dropped out of school.
Minu's dreams now are for her daughter. She's hopeful that her daughter can stay in school. She dreams that when her daughter grows up, there will be all kinds of jobs in Bangladesh. Maybe her daughter could work in an office, she says, or a bank — but not in a garment factory.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block.
All this week, our Planet Money Team is following the creation of a T-shirt it commissioned, from cotton fields in the U.S. to yarn spinners in Indonesia. And today we go to Bangladesh. It's been in the news this year for its clothing industry. In April, a factory there collapsed killing more than 1,000 workers. Over the last few months, huge protests have engulfed the capital, workers on strike demanding higher wages.
More and more, American clothing is manufactured in Bangladesh, and that includes Planet Money's men's T-shirt. Caitlin Kenny and Zoe Chace traveled to the factory there where the shirt was put together. Their assignment: To find out what life is like for the workers who made it.
CAITLIN KENNEY, BYLINE: This is the story about how this one industry, the garment industry, is radically transforming things in Bangladesh. It's also the story of two sisters, Shumi and Minu, who worked on the Planet Money T-shirt.
ZOE CHACE, BYLINE: When we pull out the shirt, Minu, the older one, jumps and points, shows us exactly what they did using English words.
MINU: Side seam, (unintelligible).
CHACE: Minu is the older one. She's in her mid 20's. She's cynical, a fast talker, chews tobacco wrapped in betel leaf. She has a seven-year-old daughter who lives back in the village with her grandparents.
MINU: (Foreign language spoken)
CHACE: They miss her, she says. If she were here now, I'd be putting little clips in her hair. But there's nobody to watch her daughter while she's at work here in the city.
KENNEY: Shumi, the younger sister, is 19 years old. Where Minu is reserved, Shumi is bubbly. Where Minu is serious, Shumi is smiling. She loves her makeup, spends a lot of time doing her hair, and it's hard for her to get through any story without laughing.
SHUMI: (Foreign language spoken)
KENNEY: Today at work, she says, she and her friends were throwing clothes at each other. It was so funny.
KENNEY: Shumi and Minu work six days a week at Deluxe Fashions Limited in Chittagong, Bangladesh. This is the factory where our T-shirt was made. They operate sewing machines. And this is one of the better factories here in Bangladesh. It's got fans and fire exits. They sisters feel safe here, they say. They don't worry about a factory collapse, like the one at Rana Plaza.
CHACE: They each make about $80 a month - not bad for Bangladesh. Bangladesh's garment workers are the lowest paid in the world for this type of work. The sisters live in this little room. It's a concrete block - one window, tin roof. They share this room with Minu's husband. Minu and her husband usually sleep on the floor. Shumi, the younger sister, gets the bed. They pull a curtain between them for privacy.
KENNEY: Shumi bathes in a tiny stall in the hallway. She dumps buckets of cold water over herself.
CHACE: Minu cooks over two tiny gas burners...
CHACE: ...shared with their neighbors, which serves as a kitchen.
MINU: (Foreign language spoken)
CHACE: Ooh...
CHACE: ...a bunch of vegetables bubbling up.
MINU: Yeah.
CHACE: Vegetables and rice, tonight's dinner, tomorrow's breakfast and lunch - one dish, three meals in a row for both of them.
KENNEY: This is the world behind our T-shirts, behind lots of our clothes; very low wages, a tiny concrete room shared by three people.
There are over four million Shumis and Minus in Bangladesh working in the garment industry. The majority are women. To understand what's driven them to move to crowded cities where they work long days for very little money, it helps to understand where Shumi and Minu and the millions like them came from.
CHACE: Back in the village where Shumi and Minu grew up, their mom cooks lunch in the backroom. The difference between her life and her daughters' lives is very clear. No gas burners here. It's a fire pit made from mud. There're holes underneath to stick branches into, the room fills with smoke when she cooks.
KENNEY: Lots of Bangladesh's garment workers grew up cooking like this, with sticks instead of gas. Outside Shumi and Minu's parents' house, there's this pond. It's the bathtub, the dishwasher, the laundromat.
ABDUL JABAR: (Foreign language spoken)
KENNEY: You're the father of Shumi and Minu.
JABAR: Mm-hmm.
KENNEY: This is Shumi and Minu's father, Abdul Jabar(ph). Their father used to be the only one in the family making any money. And he didn't make enough. The consequences were horrible.
JABAR: (Foreign language spoken)
KENNEY: Three of his daughters died before they reached age seven. They were eating dirt. They got sick and their father couldn't afford to take them to the doctor.
JABAR: (Through translator) Still remember them at times and feel bad because my daughters, my kids. It fills emptiness in our family.
KENNEY: What Shumi remembers about this time is not having enough to eat.
SHUMI: (Through translator) We eat three times. But sometimes, our parents are not eating because the lack of food. They just give their food to us, because we are little.
KENNEY: If I ask you to close your eyes and picture what it was like when you were growing up, you know, what do you see? What do you feel?
SHUMI: (Through translator) Oh, yes.
KENNEY: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry.
CHACE: Now that the sisters work in the garment industry things have really changed for this family. Shumi and Minu send money back to the village, so does another sister who works at a different garment factory in the city. And you can see the impact right here in the kitchen.
The stove is the same as what they had growing up. But what's inside the pot is different.
KENNEY: What is it?
SHUMI: Murgi(ph).
CHACE: Murgi.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Chicken.
CHACE: Back before the sisters made money, their family rarely ate meat. Now their holiday bonuses pay for all the chicken and fish they want. Factory money has paid for a new house for Shumi and Minu's parents. It's brick instead of bamboo. This money keeps their younger brother in school.
KENNEY: And for millions of young women like Shumi and Minu, garment industry jobs have transformed their lives in other ways, as well. And this transformation has been so rapid you can see the difference even inside one generation of this family.
CHACE: For Minu, the older sister, her life looks much more like the lives of the women before her. When Minu became a teenager, her father began to worry about getting her married.
JABAR: (Through translator) In Bangladesh, it's a burden to have girls not get married. It's a big burden for me.
KENNEY: Why is it a burden to have daughters in the house?
JABAR: (Through translator) Because when they grow up, I have to spend money on their fooding, lodging. It becomes a big burden. So if they marry, she will go to another boy's house.
(Through translator) For centuries, we are seeing this. Like my forefathers also got their daughters married. This is the rule of this country, Bangladeshi rule. They have to get married.
KENNEY: Marrying Minu off meant she became her husband's burden, not her father's. And Minu's family thought the man they chose for their daughter had money. He paid for the wedding - that was a huge relief. But Minu's parents were wrong. The man they chose didn't have much money.
CHACE: So Minu took a job in the garment industry. And when she thinks back on it, she says she was just a kid back then. If she knew then what she knows now, she would have fought this choice that her parents made for her.
MINU: (Through translator) If I had the mental situation that time, like now, then I'm not getting married with him.
CHACE: Minu and her husband, they fight a lot. He gets jealous. He goes through her phone, accusing her of cheating with the men she works with.
So are you mad that your parents forced you to do this?
MINU: (Foreign language spoken)
MINU: I am not capable to forgive my parents because they just destroyed my life.
CHACE: Minu says that's why I never go home to visit - I can't forgive them. Her sister says Minu has a hard heart.
KENNEY: Minu had no choice. She had to marry a man chosen by her parents. But by the time her younger sister, Shumi, was marrying age the rules were changing in Bangladesh. When Shumi was 15, there was another path. Another way of bringing money into your family that didn't involve marrying a man you hardly knew.
By the time Shumi was in her early teens, there were over two and a half million people working in the garment industry; the majority of them women. So Shumi decided to dropped out of school after 7th grade to go work at her big sister's factory and make some money. The fact that Shumi's young, unmarried and with a garment worker's salary means that her personal life looks nothing like Minu's. Shumi has her own bank account. She's saving up for something special, something that shows the control that she now has over her own life.
SHUMI: I just save the money if I need it for my marriage and then I use the money for my marriage.
KENNEY: So I got to ask. Do you have a groom in mind? Yes?
SHUMI: Yes.
KENNEY: What's his name? Shumi is blushing and laughing. She won't tell me his name. They work together. Is it a secret? Is it a secret romance?
CHACE: He would die (unintelligible)
KENNEY: Oh. Forbidden romance, very intriguing. Did you talk to him tonight? It's secret because he's Hindu and Shumi is Muslim. Back in the village, her father would never let her talk to a body who wasn't a relative, let alone a Hindu. But here in the city, she and her boyfriend take rickshaw rides together. He buys her jewelry.
They hold hands. He tells her he loves her.
CHACE: Minu, her older sister, she does not approve of Shumi's relationship. He's Hindu. That's a big problem for her. But Minu says when her own daughter grows up, she should make her own choice about who to marry.
KENNEY: This is the world behind our T-shirt, two sisters in a little room dreaming of a better life. If not for themselves, then for their children. And this life, by most Western standards, seems pretty wretched.
CHACE: There is not much room here for something to go wrong. In this family, if one sister, for some reason, couldn't work, they could get close to being hungry again, like they were before the sisters went to work in the factory. But here in Bangladesh, for these sisters, their life in the city is a big step up.
MINU: (Speaking foreign language)
CHACE: Back in the city, Minu gives us a tour of their room. I ask, what's your favorite thing in here.
MINU: (Speaking foreign language)
SHUMI: (Unintelligible) is all of my favorites because all of things I buy with my salary.
CHACE: OK. There is this one thing, though, that is this daily reminder of how far she's come from life in the village, the TV. She's still got the box that it came in. It's displayed on the shelf.
MINU: (Speaking foreign language)
SHUMI: I think two (unintelligible) now because this is - I bought this TV with my salary and when I was free, I just watching TV and think too good, too good.
KENNEY: But for Minu and for Shumi, her younger sister, this little room with the TV, this may be as far as they get. There aren't many other jobs here in Bangladesh, especially for women like them who dropped out of school.
CHACE: Minu's dreams are now for her daughter. She's hopeful that her daughter can stay in school, have lots of choices that she didn't have. Minu dreams that when her daughter grows up, they'll be all kinds of jobs in Bangladesh. She could work in an office or a bank, but not one of the garment factories. I'm Zoe Chace.
KENNEY: I'm Caitlin Kenney, NPR News.

Marie Benick, who lived to be 107 and enjoyed hot fudge sundaes and roller coaster rides, died Friday at her home at Brightview Assisted Living in Towson. Family members said she lived independently until February, when she had a minor stroke that contributed to her death.
Born Katherine Marie Overman on May 29, 1906, in Baltimore and raised on Ann Street in Fells Point, she was the daughter of Frederick Overman, a captain on a city fireboat, and Mary Elizabeth Selby, a homemaker. She completed the ninth grade in Baltimore public schools. She later took shorthand and typing at the Strayer Business School.
She told her children and grandchildren that one of her earliest childhood memories was hearing neighbors talk of the Titanic's sinking in April 1912. She also recalled hearing newsboys call out "Extra" to sell papers around that time.
At age 16, she got her driver's license and drove for 77 years — until she was 93.
As a young woman, she worked in The Baltimore Sun's classified advertising department. She recalled a young photographer in the building — the celebrated A. Aubrey Bodine. She also liked roller coasters and during the 1920s, she rode one nine times while on a date. She later told family members her date never asked her out again after that.
She went on to have a blind date with a Baltimore pharmacist, Carroll Benick. They married in 1931. She worked alongside him at his pharmacy and soda fountain on East Lafayette Avenue in East Baltimore. She handled his financial paperwork.
"As a 3-year-old, I remember pulling a step stool up to the soda fountain and drawing my own Coke," said her daughter, Carol Dix of Baltimore.
The couple and their two daughters moved to a home on the Chesapeake Bay near Breezy Point.
"She loved the location but never went in the water," her daughter said.
Her husband died in 1954. Because of his poor health, they had previously sold the pharmacy and she decided to start working again. She took a job for a brief period at the old Hutzler's department store and then became a secretary at the Department of Pediatrics at University of Maryland Medical Center. She worked for 15 years and retired in 1977.
She also gave up the eastern Baltimore County home and moved to Northeast Baltimore. Most recently she lived at Parkview Assisted Living. She declined to use a cane or walker.
"She was an inspiration because of her fiercely independent spirit, her wisdom and her wit," said her granddaughter, Susan Gabler of Hanover, Pa.
She remained an ardent amusement park-goer and liked to treat her family to a day at Hershey Park, although she gave up riding roller coaters and similar rides in her 80s. She told her family that instead of buying her birthday gifts, she preferred to go on antique shopping trips, to restaurants or the theater with them.
"She loved the sour beef at the Silver Spring Mining Company or going to the Williamsburg Inn or Bowman's," her daughter said. "In the old days she liked Haussner's, the Orchard Inn or Schaefer's Canal House."
Her favorite indulgence was a hot fudge sundae.
She also liked the theater and recalled many enjoyable trips to the Hippodrome. After the theater reopened in 2004, she returned to it for revivals of classic musicals.
She collected antiques and traveled as far as Adamstown, Pa., in search of her favorite china pieces and carnival glass.
Mrs. Benick lived independently and handled her own finances until the late winter. She was then diagnosed as having had a small stroke and moved to Brightview in Towson, but she still resisted using a walker.
Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the Ruck Towson Funeral Home, 1050 York Road.
In addition to her daughter and granddaughter, survivors include a grandson and four great-granddaughters. A daughter, Lois Keyser, died in 1990.

By Lazlo
Portland, Tennessee When I was a child, the teachers were almost gods. Outside of my parents, they were the intellectual, moral, and ethical compass in my life. There was no question about their integrity, and the things they said were unquestionably facts. The were beyond human – they were teachers.
As I grew older, attained some higher education myself and had children of my own, I came to understand that teachers were people, just like me. They were fraught with the same kinds of foibles and problems. But I still held them high esteem. I tended to regard them as special individuals that were called to serve – that had a drive to bring to our children the tools they would need to live life a in successful, fulfilling way. Little did I realize the tools some teachers would dispense – Ninja attack skills for the purpose of vindication. But that's precisely the lesson Brenda Sue Rawls was passing on to her 7th grade apprentice. (more…)

A small wish about drops
I wish… That mobs would use their drops when it's Good Stuff.
Yes, a corollary is that you don't see wolves bearing heavy plate armor, or squirrels carrying rocket launchers, or… (Yeah, that's hyperbole. I think.)
Look, when kobold Murphy with his pick gets killed and I pull a Purple Hammer of Booyah off him, I go into total disbelief. Yes, I can see him not using the Whippy Wand of Braided Necromancy – class restrictions and all of that. But seriously, if the mob is carrying something it CAN use which is better than what it IS using, why isn't it using it?
A parallel issue is the question of why I can't have what the Big Mob is using. I mean sure, some of it may be broken during combat. Or soulbound. Or some other such 'excuse'. But generally, if I'm facing a mob that's using a glowy sword and I kill it and the glowy sword is still laying there, why can I not pick it up to use or sell as applicable?
Yeah, it's more work for the programmers. SERIOUSLY more work. And it could lead to some hilarious events. ("Holy sh… Hey, Guildies, I need some help killing these kobolds. One of them has a fricking BLUE WEAPON!" … and for the next week hundreds of level 70s are farming kobolds in the lowbie zone…)
I still want it.
Have fun.

University of Louisville Yarmuth Book Award
The UofL Yarmuth Book Award began in 1987 with 53 schools. Each year, the book award has grown to include more high schools across the state of Kentucky and some out-of-state, including Southern Indiana. Its purpose is to recognize juniors who show academic promise, intellectual curiosity, and are community service oriented. The program is funded by an endowment from the family of Mr. John Yarmuth. It was started to honor his father, Stanley Yarmuth. Although not a college graduate himself, Mr. Yarmuth gave his family one of the greatest gifts of all—the desire to learn.
The program awards a book, chosen by a University of Louisville committee, to deserving high school juniors throughout the state of Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Each recipient should meet the requirements below and others set by the individual high schools. The final decision of the winner is determined by each high school Junior Class Counselor(s) or awards committee.
Each junior class guidance counselor will submit their award recipient's information online. Each school is provided with a plaque and nameplate. Each award recipient is provided a book award and UofL program invitations, as determined by the University of Louisville. In addition, all recipients are invited to a dinner reception in their honor the summer before their senior year.
1. The student must be in the top twenty percent of the high school's junior class
2. The student must show academic promise as determined by the junior high school counselor, faculty member, or awards committee
3. This should not be limited to grade point average or test scores, but also include factors such as intellectual curiosity, contributions to school and community, etc.
Congratulations to the 2015 Yarmuth Book Award recipients and thanks to all who attended the special reception! See photos from the event.
Please contact Donna Robbins at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions or concerns.

Yeah... Gene Simmons needs to learn how to draw his own damn characters. The only reason I could possibly see for Kubo not suing him is that Kiss gave him an autographed album or something, because that is seriously ridiculous.
Moreover, what pisses me off isn't so much that he plagiarized, but that he has the gall to claim that he DIDN'T. That makes him a LIAR in addition to being a whore.
Personally, I don't think that this kind of overt theft of material should be tolerated by ANYONE, Bleach fandom nonwithstanding.

At first I thought "hmm, this guy was clearly influenced" and then it turned into "hmm, this guy almost copies these panels entirely". Pretty saddening honestly, since it gives American manga artists a bad name, and that just hurts the industry in general by ruining the credibility and reputation of the hard working ORIGINAL talent out there.
On the other hand, how could Viz not see the similarities? I find it amazing they'd even let it get to print in that state, did they think people wouldn't notice?

Cause if another Japanese artist does it they will not even notice..
If an American steals something from a Japanese artist all the weabo's get their pitchforks and torches because it "offends" them greatly, it is unoriginal and childish and because it is the west.. obviously (anything Japan is awesome.. anything Western is not worthy of your time remember?) =P
I oppose this.. but also that the Japanese industry has been stealing from each other for years and years as well (people start shouting out to Simmons when they do not even notice it happening in the Japanese circles themselves -_-; ). But seriously this is old news..

I like how this topic has RAGE capitalized. Hahahaha
Anyhow, I'm kind of shocked. Not so much at the copying, let the companies work that out; who cares. I awnt to know more about you guys saying that the "anime industry copies all the time". Does this make copying bleach okay, or does it mean that the anime industry should stop copying?
And could somebody elaborate more on the copying thing (within anime). Like I said I had no idea and I'd like to know more.

No one in this thread is saying that and I don't know when did the anime industry copy all the time.
There's a big difference between referencing/homaging and plagiarism. When you homage, you can put something similar in a different context but you don't copy the entire thing line by line. Most of the time its used as a parody to give fans some laughs.
If you copy something once or twice its still ok, and can be passed as homages. But when you copy entire scenes multiple times from the same source, you are obviously plagiarising. Especially if the entire scene looks exactly the same with the same cause and effect.
You don't take someone's ideas completely and make it your own. You can however look at someone's ideas and develop from it, manipulating it into something different. You have to process the stuff you 'copied', you don't just cut and paste the entire thing.

This is an outrage! Of all the things he could have copied, he chose Bleach!!!
I have seen many amateur Naruto clone works and my only complain was not making it so obvious as the reader will not be interested for long.
But Bleach??? Burn in hell! No more of that crap!

So some hack rips off a shonen comic. He obviously ain't making enough money off it for Shueshia to sue, let alone attract Kubo's attention. Dude's a louse but there are MUCH more important things in the manga/anime industry to be worried about.

I saw it last night on another site I visit, thought I'd share.
And I do think he's an ass for copying it almost panel by panel.

I sketch myself from time to time. I am rather good for someone not really into making money. I also learned the basics by copying others. But along the way I stopped and now have a style of my own which is nothing alike the ones I used to learn. This guy openly doing it shows a lack in talent and shame.

Animation industries, or perhaps I should say art industries, have looked to eachother for inspiration since the dawn of their existence. Sometimes copies were more blatant then others, sometimes they were more successful then others (you never stopped to scratch your head at how similar Daffy and Donald Duck are?) but this has always been the case.
Sometimes and artist gets stuck, and needs an idea to help him through. Other times, he's a big fan and wants to use that which he likes in his works. Other times, it's a simple matter of success and capitalizing on success.
Now the important thing is that I not so much mind people shaking their heads and growling at it happening, but I am aghast that this was actually thought to be worth creating a topic about.

Just my 2 cents
The fact that Nick Simmons copied Bleach does sound like something he'd do! I used to watch that show on A&E but quit after the first season. Nick is a slacker and lives off his fathers hard work! I say pay him no more free publicity by drawing anymore attention to it!

Faculty Profile - Patrick Burtonby Tom Runge • January 14, 2013 Share:
Name: Patrick Michael Burton
Background: I grew up in a family of four in Lockport, NY just outside of Buffalo. I attended Lockport High School before attending Williams College (earned a BA with honors in 2000). I went straight from undergraduate to graduate study at Boston University where I earned my doctorate in Biology (2005). From BU, I chose to work with Dr. Alexa Bely at the University of Maryland as a postdoctoral scholar before coming to Wabash.
Department and specialty at Wabash: Biology. My specialty is referred to as 'EvoDevo' – I study how the process of Development (the process of developing from a fertilized egg to an adult) has evolved over time.
Favorite part of Wabash: The relationship between faculty and students. I love the opportunity to truly get to know students, to mentor them, and help them on their life's journey.
Favorite place on the campus: The alcove on the second floor of Hays Hall where students come to study. I've some of my favorite interactions with students in this little nook as they work on problem sets and prepare for exams.
Favorite food: Cheese. I love small production, artisanal cheese; triple crèmes, gruyere, and goat's milk cheese are all phenomenal. Give me a selection of cheese, quality bread, and fresh fruit and I'm good to go.
Something most people don't know about you: I'm a collector. I have collected things throughout my entire life. Growing up I collected sports cards, mostly baseball. I eventually switched to collecting rare and first edition science books, including some first edition books by Charles Darwin and his contemporaries. Although I still collect books, my focus today is wine. I collect wines from all over the world, especially wines from Bordeaux, Tuscany, Piedemont, and California. My collection includes some pretty old bottles, the rarest of which is a 1933 Madeira.

SALEM, Ore. -- Junior quarterback Josh Dean threw for five touchdowns and ran for another, helping Willamette University pull away from Lewis & Clark College, 56-20, on Saturday, Oct. 13 at McCulloch Stadium. Willamette gained 657 total yards against the Pioneers.
Dean's five scoring passes allowed him to set a Willamette single season record with 27 touchdown passes. The previous record of 26 was set by current WU linebacker coach John Horner while playing quarterback for the Bearcats in 1993.
Willamette, ranked #24 in the NCAA Division III Coaches Poll released by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), improved to 6-0 on the season, 2-0 in the Northwest Conference. Lewis & Clark fell to 4-2 overall, 1-2 in the NWC.
Against L&C, Dean completed 35 of 45 passes for 359 yards and the five scores. He has thrown for at least four touchdown passes in every game so far this season. He also ran 10 times for 37 yards and one touchdown.
Jake Knecht (Sr., WR) recorded three of Willamette's touchdown catches on Saturday, as he finished with 9 receptions for 107 yards. Benny Weischedel (Sr., TE) caught 9 passes for 118 yards.
WU running back Dylan Jones (So.) contributed 168 rushing yards on 24 carries. He scored the first touchdown of the game on a 37-yard run with 13:13 left in the opening quarter. Overall, the Bearcats rushed for 273 yards on 38 carries.
Lewis & Clark quarterback Keith Welch was 27 of 53 passing for 314 yards and three touchdowns. Connor Imel hauled in 8 of the passes for 109 yards, while Jacob Costantino caught 5 passes for 106 yards. Welch also added 81 rushing yards on 22 carries.
Willamette inside linebacker Jack Nelson (So.) led all players with 18 total tackles, including 10 unassisted stops.
After the touchdown by Jones, the Bearcats added their second score later in the first quarter on a shovel pass from Dean to Knecht. The play covered 10 yards and gave WU a 14-0 lead after Kyle Derby (Jr., PK/P) kicked the extra point.
The game's momentum seemed to swing on two special teams plays.
Early in the second quarter, L&C was forced to punt at its own 40-yard line. The punt by Colin Seitz was blocked by Willamette's Cody Pastorino (Sr., S), who also picked up the ball at the L&C 13-yard line and eluded the Pioneers on his way to the end zone.
The blocked punt counted, but the return was wiped out by a holding penalty at the L&C 44. WU took over at it's own 46-yard line after the penalty was recorded.
Two plays later, Dean was intercepted by Jon Bielawicz at the L&C 47. He returned the ball seven yards. Six plays later, L&C scored on a 34-yard pass from Welch to Costantino with 9:37 left in the half. In a close call near the end zone, it was ruled that the ball crossed the goal line before Costantino fumbled it into -- and out of -- the end zone. Simon Monley kicked the extra point to pull L&C within 14-7.
After stopping WU on downs 7 plays later at the L&C 27-yard line, the Pioneers took over again. They drove 73 yards on eight plays, and completed the drive with an 8-yard pass from Welch to Connor Imel. The conversion kick tied the game at 14-14 with 2:29 left in the half. Lewis & Clark kept the score tied until halftime by stopping Willamette two more times on downs after the Bearcats reached the L&C 28 and the L&C 16.
The second momentum-changing special teams play was at the end of Lewis & Clark's drive to open the second half and followed three consecutive big plays by the WU defense.
During the drive, the Pioneers maintained possession for 13 plays and 47 yards, advancing from their own 28 to the WU 7. Two rushed by Curtis Shirey lost a combined seven yards, and on third down Welch was sacked for an 11-yard loss. On 4th-and-goal from the WU 25, Monley attempted a 42-yard field goal.
The kick was short and was grabbed in front of the end line at the back of the end zone by WU cornerback Tyson Giza (Jr.). Giza returned the ball 62 yards to the L&C 38-yard line.
Willamette combined four runs by Jones for a total of 20 yards with two pass completions by Dean to cash in on Giza's return. Dean threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Mike Hernandez (Jr., RB) to finish the drive, as the Bearcats took a 21-14 lead. Hernandez has caught a touchdown pass in five of Willamette's six games.
Lewis & Clark was forced to punt six plays later. Willamette took over at its own 14 and drove 86 yards on eight plays to increase the lead to 28-14. Jones carried four times for 34 yards during the drive, while Dean completed 4 of 4 passes. Dean ended the drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Knecht in the corner of the end zone with 4:07 remaining in the third quarter.
Willamette continued to pull away with four touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Dean scored on a 1-yard run with 10:41 left in the game. The next touchdown was a 29-yard pass by Dean that Knecht caught while being closely defended in the end zone. Dean tied the WU regular season record o the play with 9:16 remaining.
Less than two minutes later, Chad Pollard (Sr., HB) scored on a 3-yard shovel pass from Dean, giving Dean the single season record outright.
After Imel registered his second touchdown of the day for L&C on a 46-yard pas from Welch at the 4:55 mark, the Bearcats concluded the scoring with a 3-yard run by Taylor Wyman (So., RB) with 3:04 to go. Wyman had a nifty 27-yard run earlier in the 5-play, 74-yard drive.
Willamette's defense featured three players with eight or more tackles. Nelson led the way with his 18 tackles, while Cullen Carroll (Sr., OLB) provided nine tackles. Matt Parr (Sr., ILB) added eight tackles. Joe Kopp (Sr., S) led Lewis & Clark with 10 tackles, including eight solo stops. Clay Israelson (Sr., DB) supplied nine tackles for the Pioneers.
The Bearcats will play their next game on Saturday, Oct. 20 against Pacific Lutheran University. Game time in Puyallup, Wash., is set for 12:30 p.m. (PDT).

Project Predator works to enhance governance and law enforcement capacity for the conservation of Asian big cats and other wildlife species.
The issues
Tigers are on the brink of extinction. Of global concern, this issue has far reaching environmental, socio-economic and cultural consequences.
Today, the greatest threat to big cats comes from the criminals who control a highly lucrative illegal trade spanning countries and continents. Tigers and other Asian big cats are killed due to the high value of their fur on the black market and the demand for their body parts for traditional medicines and other uses.
This trade is becoming increasingly organized and is linked to other forms of serious crime such as bribery and corruption, financial crime, and trafficking in drugs, firearms and human beings.
The response
The unprecedented scale and complexity of this type of crime demands a focused, organized and coordinated effort at regional, national and transnational levels.
The law enforcement response needs to engage the whole criminal justice system and employ a multi-disciplinary approach with the use of advanced, intelligence-led methods of investigation.
Project Predator works to increase communication, coordination and collaboration between high-level enforcement experts, managers from the Asian big cat range countries, and investigators and analysts working at ground level.
It encourages and supports INTERPOL member countries in targeting the individuals and networks who control the illegal trade, bringing them to justice and seizing any assets obtained through their crimes.
Project Predator analyses intelligence related to Asian big cat crime in order to identify:
- Criminals and criminal groups;
- Emerging trends;
- Gaps in enforcement responses.
Based on this assessment, a range of activities are designed and implemented. These include:
- Producing strategic and operational reports;
- Facilitating transnational intelligence-led operations;
- Coordinating capacity building events;
- Promoting multi-agency and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
Investigative support
Among the types of investigative support provided to member countries are:
- Analysis of telephone call records, documentation and other raw information;
- 24/7 access to cyber investigation capabilities;
- Digital forensic support in the form of extraction of information from portable devices;
- DNA forensic support in relation to seized wildlife products.
Access to INTERPOL's policing capabilities
Project Predator provides a common platform for big cat range countries to access INTERPOL's wide range of capabilities, including its secure police communications channel, system of Notices and many global databases.
Developing and promoting partnerships
Project Predator encourages countries to adopt a collaborative approach and supports the development of regional wildlife enforcement networks by:
- Promoting National Environmental Security Seminars (NESS);
- Encouraging the creation of National Environmental Security Task Forces (NEST);
- Strengthening SAWEN as an institution.
Between 2010 and 2015, Project Predator facilitated nine intelligence-led operations involving almost 50 countries.
These have resulted in more than 560 arrests and the seizure of more than 100 tigers or leopards, 56 tiger and leopard skins, hundreds of kilograms of big cat bones, 12.8 tonnes of ivory, almost 11 tonnes of pangolins, pangolin scales and pangolin meat, more than 2,500 turtles and tortoises and a variety of other wildlife including bears and bear parts, rhino horn, red pandas, reptiles and protected bird and plant species.
Dozens of operational meetings and training events have been held across South, Central and Southeast Asia. Training events have addressed a range of topics including crime scene investigation, questioning wildlife smugglers and intelligence analysis.

REDWOOD CITY — There was an empty desk at Woodside High School Tuesday and it belonged to 14-year-old Leyla Beban.
The bright and compassionate freshman's education, dreams and life will remain unfinished after a collision with a pickup truck killed her as she biked to class around 8:30 a.m. Monday.
Mourners, some who had never met her, piled flowers, stuffed animals and notes at Jefferson Avenue and Alameda de las Pulgas, the intersection where she was struck. Police say it appears the driver, who has not been named, wasn't under the influence of alcohol or speeding. For her part, Leyla was wearing a helmet and was considered a safe rider.
The news hit hard Tuesday morning as Woodside Principal Diane Burbank announced the death to students. Her statement was yet more heartbreaking because Leyla was a student in advanced classes with a bright future. As one teacher wrote in Burbank's announcement: "Leyla Beban embodied qualities we might value in any of our students: compassionate, open-minded, intellectually curious, kind, articulate, considerate, very competent, yet humble."
When reached by phone, Leyla's father declined to comment. No memorial or funeral plans were immediately made public.
Her classmates decorated a tree at the spot on the 1,800-student campus where she and her friends would meet to eat, chat or just hang out. They hung origami birds, paper flowers — all blue — and wrote messages like "We love you," and "We miss you" on the thin tree's bark. Blue was Leyla's favorite color and students wore it to school Tuesday to mourn her, Burbank said.
Redwood City police Sgt. Sean Hart said the crash remains under investigation, but so far it appears the collision was a tragic accident. Leyla and the driver were headed east on Jefferson and both turned right onto southbound Alameda de las Pulgas. Residents and police said it's a busy road that runs through an area with several school campuses, but not one they considered especially dangerous.
Theories circulated among mourners about the role of a possibly wet road or the morning's heavy fog, but the official cause of the crash remained unclear. Hart said those factors are part of the police investigation into the collision.
Mourners at the crash site shook their heads and shed tears over the tragedy. Stephanie Carlson, 45, of Redwood City, cried as she visited the memorial, left some flowers and said a prayer. Her daughter, who is also a 14-year-old freshman at Woodside, was in world studies class with Leyla. The girl was devastated by the death, news of which spread quickly on social media Tuesday night.
"She went to class today and is looking at an empty desk," Carlson said. "Things happened so quickly."

Yahoo reported quarterly earnings and revenue that beat analysts' expectations on Monday in the Internet giant's first earnings report with new Chief Executive Marissa Mayer at the helm.
After the earnings announcement, Yahoo shares ose in trading after the closing bell. (Click here to get the latest quotes for Yahoo.)
"Yahoo had a solid third quarter, and we are encouraged by the stabilization in search and display revenue," Mayer said in the earnings release. "We're taking important steps to position Yahoo for long-term success, and we're confident that our focus on quality and improving the user experience will drive increased value for our advertisers, partners and shareholders."
Excluding a $2.8 billion gain related to the sale of Alibaba Group shares, Yahoo said it earned $177 million, or 35 cents per share, up from $175 million, or 21 cents in the year-earlier period.
Revenue, which excludes fees paid to partner websites, increased 2 percent to $1.09 billion from $1.07 billion a year ago.
Revenue from searches rose 11 percent to $414 million during the quarter.
"It still lags behind market leader Google," said David Garrity of GVA Research about Yahoo's search revenue in a CNBC interview. "The company hasn't necessarily turned things around and regained market share."
Analysts had expected the company to report earnings excluding items of 25 cents a share on $1.08 billion in revenue, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
During the company's earnings call, Yahoo did not provide earnings or revenue guidance.
This was the first quarterly report delivered by Mayer, a former Google executive.
As part of her comeback plan for Yahoo, Mayer has poached a string of tech executives to help her lead the company in recent weeks.
These additions include Henrique de Castro as chief operating officer, Ken Goldman as chief financial officer, Ron Bell as general counsel, Jacqueline Reses as executive vice president of people and development, and Kathy Savitt as chief marketing officer.
Roughly 700 million users visit a Yahoo website every month — putting it in the top ranks globally. But the amount of activity people engage in on many sites is steadily declining and its smartphone offerings are deemed lackluster.
Before the earnings release, Ann Winblad, co-founder and managing director of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, stressed the importance of monetizing mobile for tech companies.
"This is a big experiment in the tech industry," Winblad said. "Everyone is a 2.0 company now whether they want to be or not. Google , Microsoft, even Amazon is going to have to deal with mobile sooner versus later."
On the company's earnings call, Mayer told investors that mobile is the company's top priority In the near future, she said Yahoo will have to become a predominately mobile company.
Mayer is expected to focus on revamping Yahoo's technology and products, shifting course from the media-centric approach embraced by her immediate predecessor Ross Levinsohn.
Yahoo ended the quarter with 12,000 employees, down more than 12 percent from 13,700 a year earlier.

BOSTON—The defense team for the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect has made another attempt to add a national death penalty expert to its roster.
In papers filed Monday in federal court, lawyers for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) sought to add David Bruck to the defense team.
Tsarnaev's court-appointed lawyers asked in April that Bruck be added to the team, but the motion was denied.
His lawyer said in the new motion that the 19-year-old Tsarnaev now faces 17 charges that carry the death penalty, while in April he faced just two.
Prosecutors have not said whether they will seek the death penalty.
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges in connection with the April 15 bombings at the marathon finish line that killed three and injured more than 260.

coming out of a corner at the Woodinville crit too fast, two guys go down in front of me, tried to squeeze between them and the metal barriers – didn't quite make it. Send all recovery alcohol to the really hot home care nurse monitoring me.
 We will NOT send him alcohol, as he's likely on Oxycondone and those two do not mix. We will wish him well and welcome him back soon.

This was originally taken to show off my new winter coat, but it also conveniently shows how clean our porch is now. Aargh! Now that neighbour is going to think that calls to the city get great results!
In order for this post to make sense, you need to remember a few key details about me. If you've been reading for any length of time, I know they won't be surprises, but if you're newer, you need to know.
- I really don't like being told what to do. So much that I will often act against my own best interest just to avoid doing something that somebody told me to do.
- I'm messy. And until we decluttered everything to put the house on the market (which we still haven't done and are unlikely to), the mess sprawled onto our front porch.
- Despite my good intentions, I only open the mail once a month.
Upon consideration though, what burns even more is that when the inspection took place, we had a freaking dumpster in our driveway, so it had to be obvious that we had work underway, which could explain the paint cans and the ladder that were on the porch, the paint cans that were specifically identified as items to remove forthwith. I am SO tempted to call the city just to tell that we cleaned up the porch before we even knew about their stinkin' order. So there.
And of course, there is the residual burn that some nasty neighbour felt the need to call the city, instead of talking to us. I'm pretty sure I know exactly who it was. People suck.
* * *
Well, at least some people do. Someone who doesn't suck, though, is Mad, whose hilarious Boob Tube post I nominated for a ROFL award.
* * *
I'm also mildly horrified that of all those resolutions, I have instituted exactly zero of the habitual items. The one-time tasks are complete, however.

Many information processing problems can be transformed into some form of eigenvalue or singular value problems. Eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) and singular value decomposition (SVD) are usually used for solving these problems. In this paper, we give an introduction to various neural network implementations and algorithms for principal component analysis (PCA) and its various extensions. PCA is a statistical method that is directly related to EVD and SVD. Minor component analysis (MCA) is a variant of PCA, which is useful for solving total least squares (TLSs) problems. The algorithms are typical unsupervised learning methods. Some other neural network models for feature extraction, such as localized methods, complex-domain methods, generalized EVD, and SVD, are also described. Topics associated with PCA, such as independent component analysis (ICA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), are mentioned in passing in the conclusion. These methods are useful in adaptive signal processing, blind signal separation (BSS), pattern recognition, and information compression.

Having a Whale Shark of a Time: Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Announces the 2013-2014 Whale Shark Spotting with the Scientists Season
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Announces the 2013-2014 Whale Shark Spotting with the Scientists Season
Conrad Maldives Rangali Island cements its reputation as the resort that brings its guests closest to whale sharks when the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme team returns to the luxury resort this May. During their two-month summer visit the charity will run regular snorkelling excursions for guests to swim with whale sharks as well as collect data and conduct research into this endangered and little-known animal. The researchers settle in for a longer session in the autumn when they return in September, remaining on the island until the following February.
"With our location in South Ari Atoll, Conrad Maldives is just a short boat ride from the reef where whale sharks are commonly found and we have an 80% success rate in finding them," said general manager Peter Nilsson. "As the only resort in the country hosting a research programme we're also able to share information and insight into these incredible animals with our guests".
Found in the Maldives all year round, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is a massive filter-feeding shark and, being the largest fish in the world, is one of the country's wildlife 'must sees'. Very little is known about the whale shark which is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list and classified as 'vulnerable to extinction'.
Aiming to fill the many gaps in the general public's knowledge is the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme (MWSRP), a joint British and Maldivian registered charity dedicated to protecting and researching this little-known and endangered animal. Based at Conrad Maldives for nine months of the year, they host whale shark spotting excursions which offer an unrivalled chance to see and swim with whale sharks and learn more about these incredible creatures from the experts. The three-hour snorkeling trip, led by marine biologists from the MWSRP, is priced at US$200 per person with profits going to the MWSRP.
Sponsored by Conrad Maldives since 2007, the MWSRP are a leading authority on whale sharks in the Maldives and an active member of the international conservation coalition, the Shark Alliance. MWSRP have been building up a demographic profile of the whale shark population in the Maldives and over the past six years have documented over 1000 encounters. The pioneering research of the MWSRP into the demography and movements of the whale shark population in the Maldives provides the scientific basis behind the programme's conservation goals.
Sightings, video and whale shark information will be regularly updated on the resort's facebook page: www.facebook.com/ConradMaldivesRangaliIsland. More information about the MWSRP is on the charity's website: www.mwsrp.org

PyPI, which stands for Python Package Index is a global repository for Python
packages. Every time you need a Python tool or library, you can simply type
easy_install mypackage, and have it downloaded and
installed for you. It is also a great source when trying to investigate current
practices in the Python world.
There are couple of troubles when analyzing PyPI. First - it is a moving target.
Since I first run the download script (which was 3 days ago), it grew by 20 new
packages. So, please bear in mind, this information won't very exact. Still, it
provides a nice overview. Second - not all packages are hosted in PyPI. For some
(quite a lot, actually) cases, we only get a link to the actual download source.
This grows the chance of a host being, and causes the download to fail. Third -
PyPI packages are terribly diverse. In order to analyze it in a timely manner, I
picked only the ones that could be downloaded as either tarballs or zips. This
reduced the sample by a quarter (from 10112 to 7625), which I believe is still a
representative enough.
Setup.py usage
Most of the packages (96%) used setup.py. The rest either simply didn't use it
or used a non-standard directory layout (accordingly: 187 and 47). Out of
setup.py users, setuptools was more than three time more popular than standard
distutils. 73 packages couldn't be identified as using either of these, and this
is mostly caused by custom setup function wrappers (see 4Suite for example of
Test runners
I was curious, how people run their tests, so I identified several ways it could
be done:
- using a top-level shell script: 20
- using a top-level python script: 326
- using setuptools' test command: 961
Note: these stats don't include another popular way of running tests, used by
Django apps.
There where 1048 packages having a toplevel directory containing string "test",
among which the most popular varations were unsurprisingly "test" (477) and

For the ninth year in a row, the Ransomville Free Methodist Church is holding the Pigapalooza community event on their grounds at 3924 Ransomville Road in Ransomville. The family-friendly event is free of charge and parking is also complimentary. Pigapalooza will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 4 to 8 p.m.
According to event coordinator Robert Moore, the church began the community event as a pig roast. "We got a free pig," said Moore. "We figured we'd better do something with it, so we had a pig roast the first year. We wanted to have a community event that's free."
After making some changes, the Pigapalooza event no longer holds a pig roast. But they have added many new attractions. They include a bounce house, Wild Kritters of Niagara, the Primate Sanctuary, Western New York Bow Hunters Association, the Corvette Car Club and Cataract Cruisers. There are also hayrides, face painting, plus appearances by Co-Co the clown and Dave Jeffers magic for the little ones.
For refreshment and consumption, there's pizza provided by Favorite's and Destino's; pulled pork sandwiches "with all the fixins" by Ransomville Free Methodist Church; plus hot dogs, cold drinks, cookies and coffee provided by the Orange Cat and Tim Hortons. The evening ends with a full fireworks display presented by Waste Management, Ki-Po Motors, First Niagara Bank and Hardison Funeral Home.
Moore says the most popular events are the petting zoo, pony rides and primate exhibit. He adds that Pigapalooza will also feature "a great band and great food." On stage are Devan Golda and the Soul Purpose Band. "The people who are performing this year are really talented."
Pigapalooza is a nonprofit event that is hosted solely for the community's enjoyment. A donation jar will be available in order to help the church cover the cost of the free event. Also, several other donation opportunities will be available to help the community including a Upstate New York Transplant Services blood drive, four tables of volunteer organizations - the Magdalene Project, Celebrate Recovery from the Ransomville Free Methodist Church, Lockport Care Net and Set Free recovery from the Chapel at CrossPoint in Getzville.
The Ransomville church also has a food bank running and a used clothing drop-off. The clothing collected from the clothing drop off will be sold to raise money for community projects.
"We had 700 people attend last year and served at least 600 dinners," says Moore. "Bring as many friends as you can from all areas, everyone is welcome."
Pigapalooza is sponsored by Ashker's Café, Crosby's Market, Dutch Oven Society of WNY, First Niagara Bank, Hardison Funeral Home, Ki-Po Motors, McDonalds, Orange Cat Coffee House, Ransomville Bus Lines, Sam's Club, Stevenson's Hardware, Tim Hortons, Toshiba Business Solutions and Waste Management.
