December 16, 2002
Los Angeles — The Knapp Venture Competition is in the process of organizing its 22nd annual competition, which will be held in the spring of 2003. To kick off this year's event, The Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, in conjunction with the student-run Entrepreneurs Association will host an Alumni Mixer on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2003, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Executive Dining Room at UCLA Anderson.
UCLA Anderson alumni are encouraged to attend this event to find out more about the Knapp Venture Competition and how they can participate. The competition is named for Cleon T. (Bud) and Betsy Wood Knapp, whose $2 million endowment to school supports this annual event along with other entrepreneurial initiatives.
"We'd like to get our alumni to dust off those great business ideas they've been thinking about and toying with," said Al Osborne, director of The Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. "The competition will not only give their ideas some driving force, but enable our alumni to take advantage of the student and faculty resources and intellectual capital created every day within the walls of school."
The purpose of the Knapp Venture Competition is to provide UCLA Anderson students with an intensive learning experience involving the entrepreneurial process. Virtually all UCLA Anderson students will start, work in, advise or finance growing businesses at some point in their careers. Participating in the Knapp Venture Competition prepares students — whether they will be founders, financiers, consultants, marketers, or general managers — for these experiences by simulating the process of starting and evaluating an entrepreneurial enterprise.
The competition requires that only one member of a team be a current UCLA Anderson student, which allows students to discover the incredible resources that are available to them at UCLA and throughout the greater Los Angeles community. Fellow UCLA Anderson classmates and alumni, as well as graduate students in the other technical and professional schools, are all potential partners and sources of ideas. Networking events, department seminars, dual enrollment courses, visits to Cal Tech and UCLA's own Office of Intellectual Property Administration (OIPA) provide valuable introductions that can often turn an idea into a reality.
While a business plan is the tangible outcome of each participating team's efforts, generating the document in and of itself is not the Knapp Venture Competition's primary objective. Rather, the competition encourages a rigorous and cross-disciplinary application of the tools that students have learned in the MBA program. It requires them to integrate concepts from school's core curriculum — economics, finance, operations, marketing, accounting, strategy and organizational development — into a comprehensive plan for starting and operating a business.
Last year's Knapp Venture Competition started with more than 100 participants representing some 30+ teams. The semi-final round was narrowed to 19 teams, from which five finalists emerged. Of the five finalists, two teams took first-place honors, with each winning team receiving the full $10,000 grand prize.

Swedish investigators report that the Muslim from Sweden who was caught with a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage intended to hijack the airplane and fly it into a US embassy somewhere in Europe. It seems clear that this guy is just a goofball and not part of an organized, competent group like Al Qaeda. It is unlikely the pistol could have escaped even the most rudimentary inspection; he never could have succeeded in hijacking the airplane (as far as we know he had no confederates; the Boeing 737 would have at least two pilots, there were more than 100 people on board, and a handgun is a poor weapon for close-quarters fighting); it is hard to see how he could have identified an embassy building in a large city–it would hardly stand out like the Pentagon or the World Trade Center–and the airplane's passengers were largely Muslims traveling to an Islamic conference. This reminds us again of the fact–astonishing, I think–that in nearly a year, Al Qaeda has not been able to mount a successful attack, or even, as far as we know, come close to mounting one. If the Administration is getting any credit for this success, I haven't seen it. Certainly John Ashcroft isn't getting any kudos.

The United States has been engaged in more than 50 military actions since the Civil War (1861-1865). More than 3,400 Medals
of Honor have been presented to the armed forces of the United States.
This Hispanic Medal of Honor Plaza is representative of the courage and valor of all 3,451 recipients of the highest honor
bestowed on a member of the armed forces for their exceptional courage in battle. As of March 2000, 39 Hispanics had received
this coveted honor for conspicuous bravery in the Civil War, Boxer Rebellion, World War I, World War II, Korea and the Vietnam
Conflict. More than half of the recipients were killed in battle or died shortly thereafter as a result of their wounds.
Joining them in this plaza of heroes are all of the Texas Medal of Honor recipients. Together, their achievements and sacrifices
under enemy fire not only demonstrates selfless courage but reflects love of country, love of comrades and their heritage.
Here then are those moments in history that record their deeds of gallantry and sacrifice. When you leave here remember their
extraordinary courage and of those who have given their lives in the saving of their fellow soldiers for:
"They are never to know again the joys and love of family, to hold a child, to see a sunrise, to be loved or to
stand where you are today. You now hold their memories for all of time. Guard these memories well for they are the strengths
of this nation."
This plaza is dedicated by the citizens of Hidalgo County in honor of their thousands of sons and daughters who marched off
to war in patriotic support of this nation. Many lost their lives, others suffered grievous wounds of body, spirit and mind.
To all, thank you for making this a nation of the free.

The City is currently working on a Basin Plan for Ecology approval that will document the design of various regional stormwater facilities proposed within the Overlake neighborhood.
2010. Following the Overlake Neighborhood Plan update, the City adopted an Implementation Plan to guide the City in its objective to improve management of stormwater within the Overlake neighborhood. This plan focused on the commercial and employment areas of the neighborhood that are zoned for the highest density of development. The plan was developed to implement policies of the Overlake Neighborhood Plan. The proposed stormwater facilities and some new streets were further defined by the Overlake Village Street Design Guidelines, adopted by City Council in April 2011.
2012-2013. Overlake Village LID Retrofit. The first investment the City made in improving stormwater in this neighborhood is construction of rain gardens in existing streets where there was more pavement than needed for transportation demands. Removed pavement was replaced with attractive and functional rain gardens that provide stormwater treatment and flow control to protect creeks downstream from urban runoff. These improvements made the area more pedestrian friendly and give a peek into the future of the Overlake Village.
2013-2015. Overlake Village South Detention Vault. The first large stormwater facility is a regional detention facility that detains stormwater that has been treated locally within public rights-of-way and private development areas. Once surrounding property develops in the future, park facilities will be constructed on top of the stormwater vault. In the meantime, parking use will continue by the owner of the property. Utility relocations to accommodate the new vault were completed in 2013. The first cell of the vault was made operational in late 2014 and the vault construction will be complete in 2015.
2016-2018. Overlake Village Station Infiltration Vault. The second large stormwater facility proposed is a regional infiltration facility that will provide retention of stormwater and treatment by infiltrating the stormwater into the ground. This facility is proposed for construction in coordination with the Sound Transit East Link Light Rail, proposed to open in 2023. The City has to come to agreement with Sound Transit; the City will pay Sound Transit to finish design and build the project as part of the light rail project. This vault is scheduled to be operational by 12/31/2017.
2025. Overlake Village Central Infiltration Vault. The third and final large stormwater facility will occur as redevelopment occurs in the future. This large facility will complete the retrofit of the Overlake basin to current stormwater runoff treatment and flow control standards. A two acre park will be constructed on top of the stormwater vault, surrounded by new streets, (NE 26th Street, NE 27th Street, 151st Ave NE, and 152nd Ave NE). It is expected that private development will be triggered by the opening of the new light rail station and that this facility will be constructed in the mid to late 2020s.
2030. The urban pathway connecting the three large stormwater sites is intended to be developed within dedicated easements adjacent to City rights-of-way, and would be designed to include low impact development (LID) components. As public and private development move forward, these infiltrating, smaller-scale stormwater facilities will allow more efficient use of the large regional stormwater facilities and will help create much improved flow conditions in the streams where this stormwater flows.

The wrestling teams from Pilgrim, Toll Gate and Warwick Vets will battle for the City Championship on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The annual event is set for 10 a.m. on Monday at Pilgrim.
Vets has won five consecutive championships. Several were dominant performances, but last year's race was close. Vets slipped past Toll Gate by a single point to keep the crown.
The teams may be in for more of the same this season.
Vets was 2-3 in Division I action heading into Wednesday's match against La Salle, but the 'Canes do own an impressive victory over Johnston and wrestled defending champion Cumberland close. Returning state champions John Altieri, Nathaniel Colicci and George Schmeider are the city's three most accomplished wrestlers, and the 'Canes have several younger wrestlers showing improvement.
Still, Toll Gate and Pilgrim figure to give the 'Canes a run for their money. The Titans are 7-1 in Division II action, and their only loss was by nine points to a tough Lincoln team. Veterans like Austin Medeiros, Joe Martinez, Dave Navilliat, Max Procopio and Aaron Travers powered the near-upset of Vets at last year's city championship. They'll be looking to finish the job this year.
Pilgrim, which dropped back to D-II this year, was 3-4 in dual meets heading into some mid-week action. The Pats are led by seniors Jordan DeSisto, Mark Lenz and Gage Potter.
The City Championship will be part of a big few days for Vets, which will host the annual Hurricane Invitational this weekend. Wrestling begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday at Vets.
On track
Competitors from Pilgrim, Toll Gate and Hendricken had strong showings at invitational track meets this past weekend.
Pilgrim traveled to the URI Invitational and took home seven top-10 finishes. Melanie Brunelle led the way with a second in the high jump and third in the triple jump, while Becca O'Donnell finished fourth in the both the long jump and the triple jump. On the boys' side, Dylan Gardner finished third in the weight throw, Peter Golish took fourth and Kevin Conner finished ninth.
Both Toll Gate and Hendricken headed north for the Dartmouth Invitational. The Toll Gate girls finished 23rd overall, while Hendricken took third in the boys' team standings.
Haley Moen led the charge for the Titans with a fourth place finish in the 1,000. Heather Allstrom added a 10th in the 400 and the Toll Gate 4x400 relay team also finished 10th. Katie Lavallee took 23rd in the 800, Jess Cawley finished 30th in the 1,000 and Erika Pena grabbed 33rd in the 300.
On the boys' side, Henry Smithers represented the Titans well with a seventh-place finish in the 1,000.
For Hendricken, Alex Perreault finished third in the 300 and Colin Tierney took third in the two-mile run. Lee Moses added a fourth-place finish in the long jump, Cory Woodbine finished fifth in the weight throw, Nick DeCiantis finished sixth in the shot put, Joe Vincent took eighth in the weight throw, Matt Casbarro finished ninth in the weight throw, Marcus Swift took ninth in the 600 and Connor Doyle placed 10th in the 1,000 to round out the top-10 finishes. Also for the Hawks, Ben Murphy finished 11th in the high jump, Michael Potter took 12th in the two-mile run, John Cute finished 12th in the 300, Chris Cambio grabbed 17th in the 400 and Alex Cerbo finished 18th in the shot put.

The era of the Great Depression was marked by strikes, labor violence, and the growing power of unions. The national textile strike of 1934, which received extensive coverage in the Greenfield Daily Recorder-Gazette, was part of this trend. The strike centered in cotton textile mills in southern New England and the south but, as this article shows, silk mills in Holyoke were also affected. The company owned by the influential Skinner family, the largest silk manufacturer in the world, was shut down. The textile strike, although unsuccessful in unionizing the industry in the south, helped create pressure for federal legislation. In 1935 Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act which gave rights to workers organizing unions.

Friday's football game between Los Altos and Mountain View highs was similar in many ways to last year's meeting. Both took place in front of large and spirited crowds under the lights at Foothill College, where the team celebrating homecoming trounced its rival in week three of the season.
This time, however, the Eagles did the trouncing: 32-14.
"It's great to flip it around and win with a team effort today," Los Altos quarterback Lambie Lanman said. "It was very emotional for me and the whole team, especially the seniors."
Lanman and his senior teammates had never defeated Mountain View on the varsity level – or even come close. The Spartans routed the Eagles 55-8 last year and 43-6 in 2011.
Lanman, under center for both blowouts, did his part to snap that streak Friday night. He completed 17 of his 26 passes for a total of 230 yards and two touchdowns.
"The line was fabulous today – they blocked so well," Lanman said. "I have to credit my receivers, too. They did a great job getting free and getting open."
Lanman capped the Eagles' opening drive with a 47-yard touchdown toss to receiver Victor Ruiz, who outran the Spartans' secondary on his route down the right sideline.
Los Altos' next two possessions resulted in points as well: Matt Schroner booted a 37-yard field goal and receiver Patrick McColl snared Lanman's 24-yard pass in the corner of the end zone.
The Spartans – who drove to the Eagles' 13-yard line on their first drive, only to commit a delay-of-game penalty that took them out of field-goal range – scored their first points of the season late in the half. Quarterback Anthony Avery plunged over the goal line on a 1-yard keeper, set up by passes to tight end Frank Kapp (27 yards) and receiver Austin Johnson (28 yards). The extra-point attempt failed, leaving Los Altos with a 17-6 edge with 1:46 left.
After the extended halftime (due to homecoming festivities), the Eagles extended their lead with a 45-yard field goal from Schroner. Halfback Sean Lanoza rushed for 29 of his game-high 75 yards on the drive.
Mountain View's next possession ended in disaster – a high snap to punter Esteban Rivera, who had little choice but to try a pass that fell incomplete – giving Los Altos favorable field position.
Starting on the Spartans' 24, the Eagles needed only five plays to score. Halfback Patrick Vargas darted up the middle, untouched, for a 14-yard touchdown. A failed two-point try left the score 26-6 with 1:30 remaining in the third quarter.
Mountain View answered midway through the fourth on a 15-yard scamper by fullback Jake Butters, who shed tacklers along the way. The Spartans faked the extra point, with Avery instead throwing to Kapp in the end zone to make it 26-14 with 7:32 left.
The Eagles punctuated the win on the final play when Avery's second interception of the night landed in the hands of linebacker Duke Myers, who returned it 43 yards for a score as time expired.
The victory boosted Los Altos' record to 3-0 – the team's best start since 2007.
"We're heading in the right direction," said first-year coach Trevor Pruitt, who took over a team that went 0-10 last season. "We're practicing with a purpose and come into every game expecting to win."
Mountain View, meanwhile, slumped to 0-3 – the team's worst start of the millennium. New coach Shelley Smith is down to 23 players due to injuries.
"They've all been tough," Smith said of the losses. "But this one is something to build on – we have to start somewhere."
Pruitt, Mountain View's offensive coordinator last season, described the win as "bittersweet."
"I feel for those guys over there," he said of the Spartans. "I spent a lot of time with those kids and don't want to see them sad. I wish the best for them."
Los Altos is scheduled to visit Mills 2 p.m. Saturday; Mountain View has a bye.
Lancers win again
St. Francis' shutout streak came to an end, but not its winning streak. The Lancers beat visiting Skyline 35-12 Friday night.
The Lancers – who opened the season by shutting out Oak Grove and Palma – surrendered their first points of the year with 2:59 left in the first half.
St. Francis still held a commanding 28-6 lead and added to it with a touchdown on the opening play of the second half. Alex Andrighetto, who had already scored on runs of 8 and 40 yards, returned the second-half kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown.
Panthers fall to Trinity
Pinewood fell behind early and never recovered in Friday's 58-36 loss to Trinity Christian in eight-man football. The visiting Panthers trailed 16-6 after one quarter and 30-14 at halftime.
Matthew Murphy and Aidan Lucero each scored two touchdowns for Pinewood (1-1).

Faculty Profile - Eric Freezeby Tom Runge • March 19, 2013 Share:
Name: Eric Freeze
Your background: I'm originally from southern Alberta and I group up in a small farming town that was about 70% Mormon, the town that serves as the fictional backdrop for my first collection of short stories, Dominant Traits. I attended Brigham Young University for my BA and MA in African American Literature. Afterwards, I pursued a PhD in Fiction Writing at Ohio University where I graduated in 2004. I'm married to another academic: Rixa Ann Spencer Freeze, and I have three young children: Zari (6), Dio (4) and Inga (2). We live in Crawfordsville in the old Poston Brick home on Wallace Ave, right across the street from the Lew Wallace study.
Department and specialty at Wabash: I teach American literature and creative writing. My main specialty is contemporary fiction, although I have been writing more creative nonfiction. Next year, the University of Nebraska Press will publish my second book, a collection of essays titled Hemingway on a Bike.
Favorite part of Wabash: I like the ways that my professional and personal lives intersect. I enjoy being able to play ultimate Frisbee and indoor soccer with students, faculty, and staff.
Favorite place on the campus: Probably the mall in the summer. It seems to me the aesthetic heart of the place. I also love the paw-paw grove in the Arboretum when the paw-paws are ripe.
Favorite food: I have so many, everything from heirloom summer tomatoes to fine claires oysters off the coast of western France. Anything that is ripe and flavorful and prepared with care. I do have a thing for artisanal cheese.
Something most people don't know about you: I used to work in summer stock theatre doing improv and writing comedy.

February 1, 2006
Applications are now being accepted for the eight-week summer Business Immersion Program, an introduction to entrepreneurship. The program will be conducted on campus from May 22 through July 14, 2006.
Participants will spend time in the classroom discussing readings, case studies, and projects. Guest speakers, many of whom are Wabash alumni, will visit to discuss facets of entrepreneurship and share their own entrepreneurial experiences. Students also take field trips to several local businesses.
The Business Immersion Program includes two intensive team projects: creating a business plan and working on a consulting project for a local small business. Teams will give presentations on both projects, and business plans will be evaluated by an outside panel.
When students are not in the classroom, they are preparing for class sessions and working on projects. Participants will not just read about entrepreneurship in this program; they have the opportunity to talk to successful entrepreneurs and get hands-on experience.
Student participants will receive an honorarium of $2,000 for the eight weeks. On-campus housing will be provided and paid for.
Students interested in the Business Immersion Program should fill out this application, attach a resume, and return it to Lu Hamilton by March 1st. We will choose and notify the 12 participants by March 15th.

I just had the error message
"pstocanonij write error,32."
when trying to print something with the Original Canon Printer Driver and my MP610. It turned out I needed to cancel the job. I printed a test page and then I printed the same thing again and it worked just fine. Sometimes it hangs up and I have to turn if off and on again.
But I still have no idea why he's cleaning his inks several times a day currently...
The error comes up more and more often now and I haven't found a real fix yet. It might be related to certain settings. The printer prints one page and then stops printing.
You can either use a different driver (e.g. the gutenprint one), or it may be an incorrect page border setting. In my experience, changing the page border settings back to their original settings (31,75mm) fixed the problems. You may have to reboot your computer and turn the printer off and on again for it to work again.
It might also be that your /tmp directory is full. This happens especially when you're using the special tmpfs on that directory, as some distributions automatically do. Or, of course, if you're main partition is out of space.


text: From the Rows -- Brian Grete -- Day 2 August 21, 2012 06:39 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Brian Grete Pro Farmer Editor Email Twitter From the Rows with Brian Grete Scouts on Day 2 of the eastern leg of the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour trekked from Fishers, IN, to Bloomington, IL. From my route through the Indian counties of Hamilton, Tipton, Clinton, Tippecanoe, Warren and Benton, we calculated a corn yield of 133.3 bu. per acre. We had a range of corn yield calcs from 80.3 bu. to 210 bu. per acre. While the corn was improved from what I had seen on Day 1, there were still only two fields that I felt represented "good" corn for the area we were in. The other seven samples showed the effects of stressful growing conditions. Of note, we saw a long stretch of hail damage in Tippecanoe Co., which further cut into yield potential. For our Indiana soybean samples, we had an average pod count in a 3 foot by 3 foot square of 958.7, with a range from 583.9 to 1705.4. Many of the soybeans in the areas we were in had good topsoil moisture from recent rains. That will help to fill pods, but the beans we saw were done flowering. The final numbers for Indiana showed a Tour-calculated corn yield of 113.25 bu., down 20.9% from year-ago. Soybeans in a 3x3 square came in at 1033.24, down 9.2%. As my route moved into Illinois, conditions worsened right at the border. From our stops in the counties of Vermillion, Iriquois, Livingston, Ford, Champaign and McLean, we had an average corn yield of 82.5 bu. per acre and a 3x3 pod count of 648.6. Our corn yield calcs ranged from 7.9 to 169.2. Of our samples, two were decent and the other six were very poor. For soybeans, our range was from 403.2 to 1103.0. Keep in mind these numbers came from areas that have very good soils and are accustomed to growing top-end yields. Much of the corn we sampled today showed not only stress to ear development and filling from the drought conditions, but also exhibited stalk problems. In many cases, there were plenty of stalks, but ears were lacking. And what ears are there are generally small and not well pollinated or filled. Crop maturity was also well advanced due to the extreme stress. While we didn't see anyone out actively chopping fields for silage, there were more than a handful of fields that we saw which had already been chopped. We also saw two corn fields that had been plowed/disced and one combine that was rolling. For soybeans, the fields we saw were done flowering and are trying to hold onto what pods have been set. In some cases, that may be a challenge. But other routes reported better soybean conditions than what we found on our route. Day 3 of the eastern leg of the Tour will see scouts sampling fields from Bloomington, IN, to Iowa City, IA. Back to news

Brandon Belt, feeling a little sheepish, insisted he is only Babe Ruth-lite.
"I'm not good enough to call my shot," the Giants first baseman said Monday during an interview with a Bay Area radio station.
Belt made headlines Friday night when he hit a home run for Lyndsey Dworkin, a 12-year-old cancer survivor who had thrown out the ceremonial first pitch for the San Jose Giants.
The story is that Belt, in Ruthian style, promised to hit a home run for Lyndsey. But, he said, nobody seems to remember his qualifier.
"I told her, 'I'll try to hit a home run for you tonight. But maybe a single will do as well,"' Belt told 95.7 The Game.
No one is about to quibble. Belt stepped up in the first inning and hit a towering shot in his first at-bat.
Juliana Paoli, the San Jose Giants chief marketing officer who had heard Belt's pledge, instantly recognized the magic of the moment. She radioed to a team employee in the parking and sent him on a mad dash to retrieve the ball.
Belt signed it: "To Lyndsey, My Good luck charm. — Brandon Belt."
Belt, who is continuing his rehab assignment from a broken thumb, was promoted to Fresno the next night. He said Monday that he wasn't thinking about Lyndsey when he stepped into the batter's box.
But he sure thought about as he rounded the bases.
"Honestly, I couldn't believe that I did that," Belt said. "But it was a cool moment. I'm glad I got to share that with her because she was the sweetest little girl. It was kind of cool moment to share with her and it's a connection that we'll have for the rest of our lives."
The connection will continue whenever Belt, who sustained a broken thumb May 9, is healthy enough to return to the majors. He has already arranged for the Dworkin family to attend a game at AT&T Park and spend the pre-game on the field.
"You never know. Maybe she'll come up and give me some good luck again," Belt said. "Obviously, that's not why I'm having her up there. The family was so awesome and it just makes sense to have them up at AT&T at some point in time this year."
Dworkin, who lives in Mountain View, has undergone 31 radiation treatments and nine rounds of chemotherapy, but is getting clean bills of health these days. To celebrate her comeback story, the San Jose Giants had invited her to throw out the ceremonial first pitch Friday.
She wore a Belt T-shirt for the occasion. Belt spotted the wardrobe choice and pulled her aside as she came off the field.
"She was wearing a Belt shirt, so I definitely wanted to take the time to go say something to her," he said. "So when she got done throwing out the first pitch, I kind of made my way over to the edge of the dugout. When she came over, she was the sweetest little girl."
Minutes later, he blasted the first home run of his rehab stint.

How Paper Recycling Works
Why Small-Scale Infrastructure Projects are Vital for UK Economy
Securing a strong post-Brexit economy through projects with trickle-down and payback A report by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills describes the UK construction sector as 'a key driver of growth', contributing almost £90 billion to the economy in value added, and employing nearly 3 million people across 280,000 businesses.

EPR necessary to boost recycling, says Green Alliance
An influential think tank has called on producers to take more responsibility for falling recycling rates. A report put out by charity and independent think tank Green Alliance, argues that greater producer responsibility is key to recycling success. Green Alliance has come out in support of local councils, saying that because producers control product design, they can do more to encourage household recycling. The report suggests how extended producer responsibility (EPR) could work: producers who use recyclable materials or use packaging that saves on waste can b…

Dirks, Tigers down Astros
Detroit, MI – Andy Dirks was quite productive atop the Tigers' lineup, going 3-for-4 with a grand slam to lead Detroit past the Houston Astros, 7-2, in the opener of a three-game series at Comerica Park.
Dirks, batting leadoff with Austin Jackson on the disabled list, cranked his first career grand slam in a six-run fourth inning that also featured Victor Martinez's two-run homer.
Anibal Sanchez (4-3) gave up two runs on six hits and a walk over seven innings en route to a seventh straight quality start for the Tigers, who had lost four of five coming in.
"My pitches were working well today," Sanchez said. "I just tried to throw strikes."
Bud Norris (4-4) was pulled after five forgettable innings as Houston dropped its fifth straight and 11th in its last 13 games. Robbie Grossman went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in the setback.
Norris, who had given up three earned runs or less in seven of his first eight starts, was staked to a 2-1 lead before becoming undone in the fourth.
Prince Fielder led off with a double and Martinez followed with a his second home run of the season -- a line drive that ended up in the first row of seats in right field.
Two singles and a walk loaded the bases for Dirks, and Norris hung an 0-2 breaking ball that Dirks smashed halfway up the right-field bleachers for a 7-2 Tigers cushion.
"It was the worst 0-2 pitch I've made in my career," Norris said afterwards.
Norris left with lower back spasms and was charged with seven runs on nine hits, while the Astros' offense only had one runner reach past first base after the third inning.
Dirks opened the home first with a two-bagger and scored when Torii Hunter doubled off the foot of the wall in center field.
Houston, which suffered a four-game sweep against the Tigers earlier this month, took a short-lived lead in the third. Marwin Gonzalez singled to start the inning, stole second and scored on Grossman's RBI single, and Ronny Cedeno added a run-scoring groundout later in the frame.
Game Notes
Astros second baseman Jose Altuve exited in the second inning when he collided with right fielder Jimmy Paredes going after a fly ball and suffered a subluxed right jaw ... Norris saw his ERA rise from 3.40 to 4.32 ... Jackson landed on the DL Monday with a pulled right hamstring ... Sanchez struck out eight and improved to 4-1 in eight career starts against the Astros.

Silver Hotel Group needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 81 designs submitted by 36 freelance designers.
Bond Place
We are an independent, full-service 280-room hotel located in downtown Toronto. The entire property was recently renovated, and we are in the process of rebranding the hotel.
We're not targeting a specific traveller. We are looking to attract both leisure and corporate business travellers who want to stay in a clean, modern, trendy hotel.
We are looking for a logo for our newly renovated hotel. We would like something clean, simple and elegant to fit with the look of the new hotel. See the attached pictures to get a sense of our new look - see especially the conceptuals for the exterior ("bondplace-facade") and the website to get a sense of what we're looking for.
The logo should incorporate some (but not all) of our new hotel colours: Turqoise, Espresso Brown, White, and Black (Red is also used in the hotel as an accent colour).
Any typography should be clear and simple. We like the style of font used in the nav menu of our concept website (see attached), but are open to ideas. No serif, handwriting, cursive, or grunge fonts; we also want to stay away from the kind of rounded fonts used in our current logo (see bondplace.ca for the current logo).
We like all of the logos used by the Starwood hotels (starwoodhotels.com), especially those for used for the Element and Aloft. We like the simplicity and elegance found in most of the work featured on lovelypackage.com.
We don't like the logos, fonts, or styles used for the Radisson or the Holiday Inn. We're also not looking for something that conveys luxury as explicitly as the Ritz-Carlton logo does (for example).
We require the logo in eps format.
Do not use any clipart or stock images.

BJ Baldwin will be the fourth Trophy Truck off the line at the HDRA, Southpoint, Vegas 250. The South Point 250, January 11-13 in Las Vegas, Nevada will be the first race of the 2013 season that will count towards the World Championship of Desert Racing. The World Championship of Desert Racing consists of three rounds of racing in the U.S. at HDRA events and three rounds in Mexico racing the SCORE Desert series. The racers with the highest points totals in six races will be crowned the World Champion.
"We had a great time with the fans at the Monster Energy Supercross in Anaheim but now it's time to race, we are ready to go," said BJ, "I'm looking forward to racing for the World Championship of Desert Racing title. We will be racing my truck "Fedor" for this race. It favors high speed whoops and rutted turns. We will have the truck on the dyno to make some minor tuning adjustments and then do a last shakedown in the dirt. My King Shocks are dialed in so we will just be checking engine temperature and making sure everything is happy. It would have been nice to have qualifying for this race but starting fourth is ok. Our plan is to get out front early and set the pace."
BJ just captured his fifth championship, his third in the SCORE series. He will be racing the full HDRA and SCORE series to compete for the World Championship of Desert Racing. He will also race the Mint 400 and hit the rocks at the King of the Hammers February 3-8 in Johnson Valley, California. "Winning Championships takes consistency," says BJ, "Getting solid results early in the season is important. We aren't racing the Southpoint 250 just to get our feet wet, we want to make the rest of the field chase us, let them try to play catch-up in the points race."

Wednesday is new comics day in North America. As always, I have recommendations. Plus, this week, there is a pile of interesting video-game-themed comics.
Comics You Should Consider Buying (from comics shops)
Dark Horse Presents Vol 2, No. 1 The official summary should convince you: "The legendary, premiere anthology is back! The 80-page spectacular, Dark Horse Presents returns with all-new stories by Neal Adams, Howard Chaykin, and Richard Corben; a new Concrete story by Paul Chadwick, a new Crimson Empire story from the Star Wars universe, and an exclusive sneak peek of Frank Miller's highly-anticipated prequel to 300, Xerxes! The celebration continues with a brand-new, all-color Finder story by Carla Speed McNeil, a prose piece from science fiction legend Harlan Ellison, the return of Michael T. Gilbert's Mr. Monster, and much, much more!"
Dungeons & Dragons #6 I'm still not sure people believe that I'm serious when I recommend the current D&D comic, but I am. The scripts are sharp, the plots go in unexpected directions. Official summary of this first issue of a new storyline arc: "Learn the origin of Fell's Four! While stranded in the Feywild, Adric recounts for Tisha how Fell's Four was born-and almost died the very same day." Sold? No? Trust me.
Iron Man 2.0 #4 Usually, I like plugging the comics of writer Nick Spencer just because I think he writes excellent comics, but this time I'm including it as an excuse to run this alternative cover that's running as part of Marvel Comics' "Thor Goes Hollywood" theme.
Comics With Video Game Connections (new this week in comics shops)
DC Universe Legends Online #6 I dropped this series last issue, because it seemed like nothing more than a mediocre future-apocalypse DC hero saga, one with little new to show. It's a pity, because co-writer Tony Bedard has being doing fresher work elsewhere. Official summary: "Lex Luthor and his ragged team of future survivors take the fight to Brainiac in a final, desperate attempt to stop his invasion of Earth - but will it be enough? Back in the present day, a catastrophe takes place that will forever change the face of the DCU!"
Deus Ex #3 Official summary: "A ghost from Adam Jensen's past rears his ugly, augmented head and it's open warfare! Even with a new ally, Adam has his hands full . . . but what's the connection between Adam's past and his current assignment."
Halo: Fall of Reach: Covenant #1 Official summary: "It is a question that man has long asked-are we alone in the universe? This?February, the United Nations Space Command learns the answer to that question… and unfortunately, the answer is NO. Catch the beginning of the struggle between Man and Covenant in this epic series based on the novel by Eric Nylund, adapted by Brian Reed, and brought brilliantly to life by Felix Ruiz!"
Mass Effect: Evolution #4 Official summary of this mini-series' final issue: "Mass Effect 2 lead writer Mac Walters brings the origin of the Illusive Man to its explosive conclusion! The fate of mankind may come down to this moment, as the newly enlightened Illusive Man launches a movement that will upset the balance of power across the galaxy. But will he prove to be the universe's savior-or its destroyer? This story will have a long-lasting impact on the Mass Effect saga, and is essential reading for fans of sci-fi action and intrigue!"
Silent Hill: Past Live (collection) Official summary: "Jebediah 'Hellrider' Foster is a violent outlaw in the Dakota Territory in 1867. When he falls for a godly widow who longs to move from the Wild West to a family home in Silent Hill, Foster follows-but peace is not what awaits. By Tom Waltz (writer of Silent Hill: Sinner's Reward and the Silent Hill video game to be released in 2011), with artwork by Menton J. Matthews III (Zombies Vs. Robots Aventure)."
Sonic Universe #27 Official summary: "Fractured Mirror,' Part Three. Silver joins an all-new, all-different band of Freedom Fighters in all-out war against Enerjak and his sinister Prelate minions! It's a no-holds-barred battle in this dark version of reality, and everyone may not make it to the end!"
And Over On The iPad…
The first five issues of Daytripper, one of 2010's best comics, are now on sale for $2 a pop on Comixology's Comics app. The series is about a man's many possible deaths, each issue a lovely yarn that can be read on its own. This gets my highest recommendation. I recently previewed Nonplayer, which is now available for $3 on the Comics app. The story's simply about people in the future who play an amazing MMO; the draw is the drawing... wonderful art. There are also more issues available of Gotham Central, the police procedural set in Gotham City, back from when the series was at its best.

For weeks, every economist worth his salt has been saying Congress needed to be bold in crafting the stimulus package needed to revitalize the economy.
So what did a supposedly bipartisan group of senators do when the stimulus bill came to the floor? They began whacking away at it to bring the legislation down to less than bold proportions.
As this issue went to press, the senators were trying to agree on spending provisions "that truly help stimulate the economy," as Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said. Collins, Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska and others reportedly were planning $90 billion in cuts.
As they met, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the country lost another 598,000 jobs in January, 207,000 of them in the manufacturing sector. Those losses bring the total for the period since January 2008 to 3.5 million and unemployment to 7.5 percent.
The debate seemed to break down along philosophical lines with Republicans arguing for more tax breaks and Democrats pushing for funding for education, health care and much-needed repairs of the nation's infrastructure.
Former Republican presidential candidate John McCain of Arizona tried to offer a substitute stimulus plan that would have lowered the total investment to $421 billion, an amount most economists consider laughable. The Democratic majority refused to allow a vote on it.
The Senate also rejected an amendment that would have subsidized 30-year fixed home mortgages to lower interest rates to 4 percent to 4.5 percent with Democrats reminding their opponents that loose lending practices helped get us in this mess.
One economist said proponents of a smaller stimulus package seemed to have forgotten the economy's desperate straits, reverting instead to "spouting old clichés about wasteful government spending and the wonders of tax cuts.
"It's as if the dismal failure of the last eight years never happened," said Paul Krugman. "Somehow, Washington has lost any sense of what's at stake — of the reality that we may well be falling into an economic abyss, and that if we do, it will be hard to escape."
Senators also have been debating "Buy American" provisions, which would require the use of iron, steel and goods made in America in the stimulus bill's public works projects and U.S. textile products in uniforms procured by the Transportation Security Administration.
Advocates say the provisions would help create jobs in this country rather than "continuing to ship them overseas" as American business has been doing with depressing frequency in the last several years. Critics claimed the requirements would be protectionist and would raise the cost of already expensive infrastructure projects.
The latter reminded me of the oft-parodied rejoinder "Will the last person leaving New York, please turn out the lights" when that city was on the verge of bankruptcy in the 1970s.
One of those "bipartisan" senators may have to turn out the lights if something isn't done to reverse the direction of the economy soon.

November 2, 2011—When Montclair State University research scientists Lynn Schneemeyer and John Siekierka were formally inducted into the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame on October 27 at the W-Hotel in Hoboken, they joined the ranks of leading New Jersey inventors including Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Herman Sokol, and James Hillier.
During the induction ceremony, Schneemeyer was honored for her pioneering and world-class research in the fields of superconducting, magnetic, electronic, and optical materials and devices with over 250 publications, and 21 patents issued or pending. Of particular note was Schneemeyer's invention of a unique single crystal material that is a critical component in telecommunications optical transmission. This novel material balances thermal and optical changes in a manner that allows the path traveled by light to remain unaffected by temperature change, thus enabling athermal optical elements to be incorporated into high bandwidth optical transmitters used by fiber optic system providers.
Siekierka's distinguished career in the fields of biochemical, immunological, and drug discovery research, as well as his ground-breaking work in the development of the first drug-eluting cardiovascular stent were cited during the induction ceremony. Siekierka's early research in the mechanism of action of several immunosuppressive drugs ultimately played a role in the identification of an immunosuppressive (anti-inflammatory) drug that would significantly enhance the efficacy of cardiovascular metal stents by preventing re-blockages of arteries following angioplasty procedures.
Based on Siekierka's earlier research on immunosuppressive drugs, the drug sirolimus was selected by a transdisciplinary development team for incorporation into a polymeric coating on metal stents. The resulting Cypher® Stent was the first of a generation of drug-coated heart stents and a major advance over bare-metal stents. It was launched in the U.S. in May 2003 and by 2005 was the global leader in the coronary artery stent market with $2.59 billion in sales.
"Building on a legacy of excellence and innovation in science and math education, Montclair State has attracted world class research scientists who are helping advance science and technology in fields important to New Jersey," Robert S. Prezant, Montclair State's dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. "Drs. Scheenmeyer and Siekierka are exemplars of the capacity of our faculty to build research programs of exceptional power," he added.
Schneemeyer is associate dean in the College of Science and Mathematics and Siekierka is director of the Sokol Institute for Pharmaceutical Life Sciences and Sokol Professor of Medicinal Chemistry. Herman Sokol–a graduate of Montclair State and one of several U.S.-based research chemists who were pioneers in the discovery, development, and manufacture of the Tetracycline family of antibiotics–was inducted into the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame in 2008.
The New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame was established in 1987 at the suggestion of former Governor Tom Kean to honor New Jersey's impressive list of accomplished scientists, physicists, and innovators for their "inventive achievements that have had a significant positive impact on society." As of January 2011, 286 "recognized luminaries" have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Each recipient of this prestigious award is inducted into the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame for lifetime achievements with multiple U.S. patented inventions over many years which showed widespread strong commercialization and/or licensing. Each award winner is considered to be a living or deceased "recognized luminary." A maximum of six awards are given annually, two of which may be designated as a Pioneer, and a maximum of three per year may be Nobel Laureate inductees.
Partial List of Notable New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees:
• Thomas Edison
• Albert Einstein
• Charles J. Fletcher, Aerospace Inventions
• Calvin Souther Fuller, Semiconductor Photovoltaic Solar Cell
• Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith (2008 Inductees, 2009 Nobel Prize Winners - Physics)

The Chilehaus (=Chile House) is a brick-made office Building in the center of Hamburg. The architecture is inspired by the brick expressionism.
Hamburg: Second largest city of Germany, situated in the north at the river Elbe, because of the seaport well known as a city of merchants. Because of the nearby sea, you will always have some fresh breeze while you are walking through the streets with nice private town-houses or while you are floating along aboard an "Alsterdampfer" on the river Alster.
