The rifle hunt on the unit doesn't start until October 21.
The hunt on the units has been shortened to reduce the number of buck deer hunters take. Instead of a nine-day season, the season will run for only five days -- October 21 to October 25.
"The three-year buck to doe ratio is below the minimum objective of 15 bucks per 100 does," says Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
"Our data shows that shortening the hunt to only five days – by itself -- doesn't reduce the number of bucks hunters take," Aoude says. "Most buck deer hunters in Utah hunt an average of only three days anyway."
Aoude says delaying when the season opens on the five units is the key to reducing the number of bucks hunters take.
"Our data shows that most buck deer are taken during the opening weekend of the hunt," he says. "When the hunt on these units opens on Oct. 21, many hunters will have already taken their deer. And that means fewer hunters should be hunting on these areas during the five-day hunt."
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.
You might see a few more deer when Utah's rifle buck deer hunt starts October 17. The weather this past spring and winter was almost ideal for mule deer.
More than 70,000 hunters, plus their family and friends, are expected afield for Utah's most popular hunt.
"The weather this past spring and winter was excellent for mule deer," says Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
"Last winter was really mild -- the snow stayed up high, and the valleys and the winter ranges were warm," Aoude says. "It's difficult to determine exactly how many deer die each winter. But because this past winter was so mild, we think far fewer deer were lost than would have been lost during a normal winter."
Aoude says the mild winter was followed by a long, wet spring. "The state received plenty of rain clear into June," he says. "That rain provided doe deer with a lot of good, nutritious vegetation. And that helped the does provide plenty of milk to the fawns they gave birth to earlier this summer."
Aoude says nutritious vegetation also helps bucks grow bigger antlers. "When bucks have good vegetation to eat, even two- to three-year-old bucks can grow some nice antlers."
Southeastern Region
The overall number of deer in southeastern Utah is still below the population objective for the region. But the number of bucks compared to the number of does is improving.
"Buck-to-doe ratios are improving across the region," says Brent Stettler, regional conservation outreach manager. "For example, on the Central Mountains-Manti unit and the La Sal Mountain unit, the ratio is 17 bucks per 100 does. On the Abajo Mountains unit, the ratio is 20 bucks per 100 does."
While the number of bucks compared to does is improving, the overall number of deer in the region continues to hover below the region's population objective. "On the Central Mountains-Manti unit, our biologists estimate the deer population at 20,000 animals. That number should be closer to 40,000 deer.
"The La Sal Mountains unit, with an estimated herd size of 7,400 deer, stands at only 57 percent of its herd size objective of nearly 13,000 animals," Stettler says. "However, the Abajo unit has rebounded to 95 percent of its herd objective with a current population of about 12,800 deer."
Lots of rain fell in the region this past spring and early summer. That precipitation provided good forage for deer across southeastern Utah, and gave new fawns a good start. The deer appear healthy. They're also widely dispersed.
In July, the rain turned off and the heat turned on. Dry conditions moved deer into drainages near water and onto cooler north-facing exposures. Most deer in the region will be found at medium or high elevations.
Stettler encourages hunters to do some pre-season scouting. "Once you've selected an area to hunt, learn where the springs, seeps and creeks are in the area," he says. "Get to know the game trails, the bedding areas and the routes deer might use to escape hunters once the hunt starts."
How hunting pressure might affect the deer is another important factor to consider. "Make sure you consider that factor as you put your overall strategy together," he says.
Stettler reminds you that the hunt on the La Sal (La Sal Mountains) unit doesn't open until Oct. 21. A delayed five-day hunt is being held on the unit to try and increase the number of bucks on the unit compared to the number of does.
A boundary description for the La Sal (La Sal Mountains) unit is available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/maps/2009_biggame. Once you reach that part of the site, click on the "General season buck deer units with shorter season dates" selection.

I use Mint 13 with Gnome Shell 3.4. For the last month or two I have had an issue that randomly occurs, and once it does only logging out or rebooting fixes it.
I randomly have a problem that causes at least these things:
- Right clicking on icons does not work, if I do it acts as if I have right clicked on the desktop
- In Google Chrome if I right click on a page to open a link in a new tab, if I go back to the original tab it is no longer functional until I reload the page.
- When I am in a text editor (even in a Virtual Box system,) and click in the editor panel, it acts as if I was holding the
shiftkey and highlights the text from where the cursor was to where I clicked.
My first thought was that this was a keyboard issue so I opened up Wire Shark and there is no input form my keyboard. I have searched around but have not been able to come up with a fix.
Let me know if you need any more info or if there is another tag I should use since I'm new to asking questions here.
I have also asked this question in Linux Mint Forums here.

More Latinos Identify as Native American, Census Shows." An interesting article, but I didn't consider it unexpected. I was actually surprised it wasn't happening much sooner.
Genealogists/Family Historians tend to travel...a lot. What apps do you use when you travel to make your trip run smoothly? Brett Snyder has a blog "The Cranky Flier" which may interest many, but he also writes for CNN occasionally and his post on their news site, "Travel Apps That Really Help" was very good.
Jenn Woods at "Climbing My Family Tree One Branch at a Time" always has such great posts. She recently posted about a murder that her ancestor gave testimony about. Always interesting to read and very exciting!
Researching German ancestors? Then you'll eventually need to dealing with German script and handwriting. Nancy over at "My Ancestors and Me, and other relatives, too..." has a post for you! A German genealogical must!
And wrapping it up are two videos. The first a friend shared with me. It was posted on Yahoo! News (it was from KCCI News in Iowa) and it was about a couple that were married for 72 years and they died holding hands. Not to be morbid or anything...I just found it sweet.
The second just happened to start playing immediately after the previous story and was also from KCCI. It was a story about Oak Grove Cemetery and the damage time has caused by eroding away a hillside and the graves ending up in a ravine. Tim Schultz (an area landscaper) is looking to help rectify that situation by building a retaining wall, but the red tape is hard to get through.

Thank you for the mention, Cheryl. I appreciate it. I hope readers will find the post about German typefaces helpful as well as the one with the link about German script.ReplyDelete
Great info! I'm especially intrigued to see the post on the German handwriting -- something I've had to deal with in scores of letters.ReplyDelete
Nancy, I studied German in college and I've got to say that this would be essential in research. How many people couldn't use a refresher! Look at cursive handwriting today. Our descendants will need a cheat sheet as well! (Sad, but true)ReplyDelete

When It Comes to Installation, xPDF Has a Hex on It
Apr 24, 2013 5:00 AM PT
If you are looking for a fast, reliable, trouble-free, lightweight PDF viewer, and you stumble upon xPDF in your distro's app listings, keep stumbling. Chances are it will not run on your Linux configuration.
In theory, xPDF is a promising alternative to PDF viewers available for the Linux desktop such as Adobe PDF Viewer, Okular and Evince. It is a fast and light application that does not exhibit sluggish performance in handling bulky PDF files.
Another nice attraction is its cross-platform roots that let you use the same viewing tool whether you view them on Linux, Mac or Windows computers. It also has an interesting set of command-line tools to extend its usefulness.
In practice, however, chances are you will download xPDF to find that it loads but will not work -- or it will fail to load at all.
Troublesome Run
xPDF is fraught with uncertainty. If it loads at all, the app displays its blank viewing window. So far that is what it is designed to do. However, when you try to open a pdf file, the xPDF application crashes.
To be kind, xPDF is an example of an open source project that unfairly gives Linux a bad name to new users. xPDF is a freeware program ported to the Linux platform under the GNU GPL version 2 license. Therein lies the problem -- bad porting.
xPDF runs nearly perfectly on my Windows 7 test computer. Reboot the same computer into a variety of Linux distros, however, and nada.
Trial and Lots of Errors
Normally I would chalk up ill-performing software to the bad luck that sometimes comes with looking at far too many titles. I would move on in search of yet another Linux package. But I kept trying -- almost in vain.
Given the great variety of Linux desktop choices available, someone somewhere might have a similar positive experience. If it runs on your Linux desktop, xPDF might be worth it for you to check out.
xPDF refused to run on nearly every Linux iteration I have. It failed with Linux Mint 14, Ubuntu 12.10 and even Puppy Linux. It also failed to run on a handful of Linux distros I reviewed in recent months. The desktop environment, it seems, made no difference in getting xPDF to do its thing.
However, it did actually run on one distro. Surprisingly, xPDF worked flawlessly on the Knoppix Linux that I reviewed last week.
Telltale Warnings
A notice on foolabs.com that is home for xPDF says that the package runs under the X Window System and should run on mostly any system with a decent C++ compiler. The software should work on nearly any system which runs X11 and has Unix-like (POSIX) libraries.
The operative word in that description, however, is "should." It does not in most cases. On several instances when I tried installing xPDF, messages warned that several existing libraries may not be compatible and should be removed. The installation routine, however, did not offer to remove them.
When I manually removed them on two different test computers, xPDF still failed to run. I even downloaded an archived package from the home developer's web site and manually did the installation. When that failed, I used traditional methods such as apt-get install xpdf. That, too, failed to get a working version installed.
Singular Success
I was finally able to open a PDF document using xPDF in Knoppix. I was somewhat impressed with how the PDF viewer performed. If only it worked reliably on the mainstream Linux distros.
xPDF is small and efficient. Its lightweight design is supposed to let it work without Gnome/KDE libraries to run it. As a result, it has few features and a weird interface.
The project includes a utility package that provides command line access to PDF text extractor, a PDF-to-PostScript converter, an image viewer and various other utilities.
Working Rundown
xPDF sports a user interface that is so minimalistic that it does not contain any menu bar or drop-down menus. Most of what you are able to do is ordered through a pop-up menu when you right-click in the document viewing window.
Even opening a PDF file is done from this pop-up menu. You save it in a different file format the same way. The other menu options include viewing the document in fullscreen mode, rotating clockwise, counterclockwise and zooming the selected area.
A few navigational controls are located at the bottom of the xPDF window. These are: next, previous, first and last page. Also located there is an icon to access the print option.
Bottom Panel
Two other functions reside on the bottom panel. One is a button for setting the size of the displayed image in the viewing window.
The options range from 12.5 percent to 1600 percent in 12 increments. There is no custom option to adjust for other percentages. You can also fit to page, width or height.
You can also enter a page number in a window to jump to that location. Enter a number and press the enter key to complete the action.
Bottom Line
xPDF does not allow copying, pasting or printing if the creator of the document imposed those conditions in the original properties of the PDF file. This limitation restricts the usefulness of xPDF for the legitimate use of archiving document content.
The application otherwise would be a handy PDF file viewer. It is much too finicky, however, in running on some of the most popular Linux distros.
The developers should address this issue if they intend to have xPDF be anything more than an orphaned project. Until this problem is solved, distro maintainers should do their users a big favor and remove this package from their repositories.

On July 12, Nicholas Laws, age 31 of Blanding, pled guilty to a single felony count and was sentenced to two years' probation by U.S. District Judge Ted Stewart.
Laws had been indicted on three felony counts.
The previous week, Dale Lyman, age 76 of Blanding, was sentenced to 60 months probation for trafficking in stolen artifacts. Lyman received the sentence from U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups. He faced up to two years in prison and turned over a large number of items from the rock shop he has operated for decades.
Earlier, Waddoups sentenced Blanding residents Jeanne Redd and daughter, Jericca, to 36 months and 24 months probation, respectively, in addition to fines after pleading guilty to multiple felonies. The Redd's forfeited an extensive private collection of artifacts.
The only person involved in the action to be sentenced to prison has been Blanding resident Charles Denton Armstrong, who was convicted, not of selling antiquities, but of threatening the undercover informant. Ted Gardiner, the informant, took his own life in March, 2010.
Two defendants in the case, Dr. James Redd of Blanding and Steven Shrader of New Mexico, also took their own lives after the raids.
On July 7, Tammy Shumway of Moab was sentenced to six months of home confinement and 36 months of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball. In addition, Brent Bullock of Moab was sentenced to 60 months probation by Judge Kimball.
To date, there have been no trials related to the charges, but several are planned. An October trial date has been set for Blanding residents Joseph M. Smith, Meredith Smith, Tad Kreth, Reece Laws and Brandon Laws before Judge Stewart.
Additional cases are still making their way through the federal court system.

I hope this soul searching nets us alot more than the searching did during the bye week. This team has got to have faith in one another and they've got to stick together. We've never come undone in the locker room in the past and we won't do it now !
Soul-searching begins after team's flaws exposed again
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
SAN DIEGO -- The Steelers made a long trip to sunny California and departed without ever finding daylight. Things instead grew darker for them after they lost their third consecutive game to slip to 1-3.
They have gone from Super Bowl champs to ones looking very much like one-hit wonders and there is only a single solution.
"Victories," proclaimed linebacker Clark Haggans. "And us playing Steelers football. That'll get us out."
This new version of Steelers football doesn't cut it. It features turnovers, an inconsistent running game and a defense that looks dominant most of the time, susceptible at the wrong times.
Willie Parker and the ground game looked fine in the first half against the Chargers when the Steelers ran 14 times for 55 yards and one touchdown, but they ran only four times in the second half. That's not the kind of Steelers football that Haggans referred to.
"We got things going and then, all of a sudden, things weren't going for us," guard Alan Faneca said. "We came out and it didn't feel like we had too many plays in the second half. We had a couple of turnovers and they had some good drives and we couldn't get back in rhythm."
Interceptions have a way of killing that, and Ben Roethlisberger threw two more. He has thrown seven interceptions and no touchdowns in his three games. The quarterback who set the rookie passer rating record at 98.1 and who has the top two passer ratings in Steelers history has a 41.67 rating after three games. After going 13-0 in his first season and winning a Super Bowl in his second, he's looking more like a rookie in his third.
Roethlisberger described the obstacle that confronts the team as a hump, while most of his teammates called it a hole. Whether they have to climb over it or out of it, they need to start Sunday against Kansas City or they will become the first Steelers team in a long time to be counted out with half a season left.
No Bill Cowher-coached team ever started as poorly as 1-4. The previous time the Steelers did so was in 1988, when they opened 1-6 and finished 5-11. Most famously, their 1976 team lost four of its first five as two-time defending Super Bowl champs and rebounded to go 9-4 and make it to the AFC championship game. But that team had nine Hall of Fame players on it.
"There's going to be a lot of soul searching," said Hines Ward, who hasn't gone this long without a 100-yard receiving game since 2001. "We don't have time to sit there. We don't have any more bye weeks.
"It's not a good feeling, being in the spot we're in. It's been three or four years since I've been in this spot. It is what it is. We're not playing good football."

Powershell is powerful. But if you forget that it's a scripting language, and approach it as a programming language, you (like me) may be thrown off, time and time again, by its certain... literalness.
I have a script that reads Powershell variable / value pairs from a file we shall call foo.conf . In other words, foo.conf looks like this:
$var1 = "bla1"
$var2 = "bla2"
$var3 = "bla3"
After reading the contents of this file, it needs to execute those variable assignments. It does it all in this line:

There were presentations on everything Drupal-related, from module development to theming, to security, usability, or building large, yet scalable enterprise websites with Drupal. Each of the two days opened with a keynote speech that drew an audience over 300 people into the room. Organizer Todd Nienkirk greeted us with the news that the number of attendees made Drupal Camp Austin the second largest Drupal Camp ever; an hour later, a few last-minute registrations pushed us up to #1.
10 people were at the discussion. Some have heard more about the concept of the Singularity, others less. Moderator Mike Ignatowski described two common Singularity scenarios. They are:
-- "hard takeoff": a computer develops human-level AI, and then within a few hours doubles, quadruples it, etc., and very soon becomes intelligent beyond our comprehension and takes over the world;
-- "soft takeoff" -- technological advance is gradual enough so any given human does not lose comprehension of what's happening; however, in a few hundreds of years the society and technology nonetheless changes so much that it's incomprehensible to a modern-day human.
We examined some of those scenarios and objections to them.
The most entertaining event in the Social Media Camp (July 30, 2008) was the Half-Baked game. In this game, people are randomly assigned into 6 teams. The goal of each team is to come up with a startup idea and present its business plan to the judges. This being a Social Media Camp, one of the requirements is that the social media aspect should be built into the business plan.
It was fascinating to see how aspiring internet entrepreneurs think. It left me shaking my head: so this is how internet bubbles form! These are the kind of minds that gave us stuff like Pets.com in 2000. But it would be unfair to reach sweeping conclusions based on what I saw. 20 minutes is hardly enough time to come up with a business plan that's both original and viable. It was only a game after all.
First, the audience comes up with 50 random words, and those words are written on the whiteboard. Each team needs to pick any two words that will make up their company's name. Then they have 20 minutes to come up with a tag line and a business plan. (Preferrably also a logo -- the room was full of people with computers, and I bet a lot of them, like me, had Photoshop).
Here are the words suggested by the audience. These were the judges' criteria for evaluating each business plan. Here are the startup concepts the teams came up with: Buzz Squad -- like GPS for drinking; Porn Sucks -- promoting positive porn to save sex workers; Beer Buzz -- good beer, good times; Time Pirates -- find a hidden treasure in your calendar; Green Ninjas -- it's easy buying green; Love Cookies -- customizable cookies.
Here is my blog post on other events that took place at the Social Media Camp.
Nebula Awards 2008 took place in Austin, TX on April 24-27. Being in Texas, the award ceremony had to have some Texas flavor, and that was amply supplied by the MC John Moore and the toastmaster Joe Lansdale. Moore started by explaining Texas dialect to the out-of-state folks. He said, "in Texas you don't say 'I'm going to have a glass of wine', you say 'I'm fixing to mosey down to Hospitality Suite and rustle up a Shiner Bock'. And right now I'm fixing to introduce our toastmaster. He's a kick-ass Texas writer, and I mean it literally: he founded a school of martial arts."
Joe Lansdale's speech was the highly anticipated highlight of the award ceremony. Everyone in the Texas fandom knows Lansdale is pretty damn funny. And his speech was funny indeed, although a bit rambling. I managed to remember a couple of anecdotes Joe told; for the sake of brevity, I'll compress the details which, in my opinion, didn't add much to the story. (Though what do I know? Perhaps readers adore Joe Lansdale precisely because of those details I consider rambly.)
His point was that Texas is such a weird place it can't help but inspire science fiction. Here is an incident that happened to him and an even stranger one, to another Texas writer. Lansdale also listed his rules for the attendees of science fiction conventions.
(Later at the ArmadilloCon 2008 Joe Lansdale told more stories from his life on the Campfire Stories panel. They can be found in my blog post.
Michael Moorcock, who was bestowed a title of SFWA grandmaster, had his own funny stories to tell about life in Texas -- and why he likes it here.
Pictures from the Nebula awards can be found in my photo gallery.
Description in the program book: Was there a homoerotic subtext to Lord of the Rings? Is subtext in the eye of the beholder, or is Spec Fic friendlier to GLBT characters and readings than the mainstream? Panelists discuss the perception of alternative sexualities in SF/F.
Panelists: Alexis Glynn Latner (moderator), Lee Martindale, Jess Nevins, Selina Rosen, Mel. White
What was it really about:
The discussion didn't focus so much about a relationship between Frodo and Sam (though there was some speculation), or even whether SF is friendlier to gay / lesbian / bi /transsexual (GLBT) characters than mainstream literature. Mostly it revolved around fan fiction, especially slash fiction.
Pictures from ApolloCon 2007 are in my photo gallery.
Official Synopsis: Cuddling with the computer too much? We've been there too. Ways to learn (or relearn) social skills.
Panelists Eric and Cathy Raymond discuss flirting tactics and first date ideas that work well for geeks.
At Linucon 2004 Eric Raymond gave a speech on the basic principles of the Unix philosophy. They are the same principles as described in the "Basics of the Unix Philosophy" chapter of Raymond's book "The Art of Unix Programming". Since the book is available online, I put a link to each rule so you could compare what's said in the book with what was said in the speech. He dwelled a little longer on each rule and gave more examples than he does in this chapter of the book. At the end of the speech he answered questions, some more, some less related to Unix philosophy. He also ranted on XML (after admitting not having an opinion about it) and expressed his opinion on Hurd.
Pictures from Linucon 2004 are in my photo gallery.
Synopsis from Linucon program book: "The most popular open source license, the GPL, inspires controversy to this day. Eric Raymond recently expressed some ambivalence about it, so he and his lawyer wife Cathy are moderating this panel, with Jay Maynard, a.k.a. The Tron Guy speaking out against the GPL and Rob Landley defending it."
One of Rob Landley's pro-GPL arguments is that it can prevent a project from forking. Jay Maynard claims credit for coining the term General Public Virus. His objection to GPL lies in its ideological agenda. Rob says GPL keeps companies from taking open source code, incorporating it into their products and making money off of someone else's work without giving back to the community. Jay objects that even if companies did that, the good consequences of this action would outweigh the bad. Eric Raymond then inserts himself physically and ideologically between these two "nutcase friends" of his. His position is that GPL is slowing down the adoption of open source, because it is often incorrectly perceived that a company that uses open source software would be obligated to blow open their entire intellectual property. Furthermore, he says, GPL is based on the assumption that defecting from the open source community is attractive, whereas in reality it is its own punishment. Both sides use Linksys as an example to support their arguments. :-) They briefly debate whether the reason BSD did not become as popular as Linux was due to its license, or, as Eric Raymond argues, because they got their social machinery wrong.
Some pictures from this panel can be found in my Linucon 2005 photo gallery.

For the first time in nearly a century, Coca-Cola and its other beverage products won't be bottled in San Diego.
The beverage company filed a notice with the state saying it will close its 190,000-square-foot production facility off state Route 94 at 47th Street, laying off 92 employees on Nov. 8.
Each year, that facility bottled and canned 7 million cases of Coca-Cola products, including Dasani water. Each case contains 24 bottles.
The plant opened in 1964, at a cost of $1.75 million. At the time, it was the largest one-level Coca-Cola bottling facility west of the Mississippi River. It was able to produce 650 bottles of the soft drink per minute. The previous plant, on El Cajon Boulevard, had been expanded eight times in 30 years. Coca-Cola has been bottled locally since 1919.
Coca-Cola said it will keep the 110,000-square-foot distribution center next to the bottling plant, and its 430 employees. It will handle products from larger bottling facilities in Downey and Los Angeles, said Rebecca Hecksel, director of public affairs and communications for Coca-Cola North America Group.
"Coca-Cola is a growth company, and we always look to bring greater efficiency and effectiveness to our business," she said. "As a business decision, the San Diego facility ... doesn't have an optimal layout. It just made sense to go to L.A."
The Downey bottling facility produces 77 million cases annually, while the Los Angeles bottling facility produces 46 million.
Thomas Mullarky, a stock analyst for Morningstar, said the move to centralize bottling in Southern California on its own may not help the company's bottom line, but it can be replicated elsewhere around the world to make an impact.
"By maintaining their distribution fleets, they're still able to service all of the restaurants, grocery stores and convenience stores they always have," he said. "It will just be done in an optimal, efficient manner."
Coca-Cola reported net income of $2.69 billion in the three months ended June 28, down from $2.8 billion in the same quarter of 2012.
In San Diego, Hecksel said the company is doing as much as it can to help the 92 laid-off workers transition, including giving them a severance package.
"We're treating our employees with as much respect and dignity as we can," she said. "It's a really challenging time."
Hecksel said she didn't yet know what Coke would do with the bottling facility once it ceases operation.

Discussion Thread: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/731006
Request List: http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/75732/
Use of the On-Line Want List Generator (OLWLG) is required for this event (please remember to tip JeffyJeff some GG for his support).
If you have never used this tool before, please read this: http://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/OLWLG
There is also a cool video guide by boathouselooper here...
If you're still unsure, feel free to ask questions in the discussion thread.
Key dates (all times are CENTRAL TIME)
Open for posting games: Tuesday, November 29th (10pm) until Saturday, December 3rd (10pm)
Want list submission period: Saturday, December 3rd (10pm) until Tuesday, December 6th (10pm) - no extensions!
Results posted within half an hour thereafter.
Please do not delete items or sweeteners once you have listed them. You can always submit a blank want list for an entry if you've traded it away before the deadline.
OK - some very, very simple rules - please take a few minutes to read them:
Any items, other than cash, are allowed - as long as they are legal to transport. If you honestly think you have something people might trade for, please feel free to offer it..
Gift certificate and GeekGold arbitrage are NOT allowed. Neither are cash offerings.
Non-game entries must be added as "Outside the Scope of BGG", "Miscellaneous Game Merchandise" or "Miscellaneous Game Accessory" and must include the +altname+ brief description -altname- format in the description of your item.
You are expected to describe, as accurately as is reasonably possible, the condition (components and box), language and edition of your item in the description. This includes sweeteners if they are physical items (i.e. not GG).
Please do not use terms like "as pictured" and "players copy" to save time. Using those terms is fine, but NOT as a substitute for the rule above.
For games not brand new (in shrink) you must inventory the game's components and list anything missing. Do not assume it's complete. Also, remember that just because something is "new in shrink" that doesn't mean that you shouldn't disclose any dings. It might not matter to you, but it matters to some people.
Similarly please do not add games you do not currently have in your possession as you can't vouch for their condition. Even a new game might arrive damaged.
You are required to cover full shipping costs to others in your country. You are not required to ship outside of your own country but your shipping restrictions outside of your own country must be clearly stated/explained. Please read carefully the shipping policies for items you put on your want lists.
Exception: Shipping to HI and AK is voluntary for U.S. participants, although I ask that you do consider doing so.
Any ambiguity shipping abroad will be interpreted as generosity on your part. This means that if you don't include a shipping policy, then it is assumed that you will ship anywhere in the world for free!
Sweeteners are to be listed using the "Insert Geek Link" dropdown or you can manually insert the GAMEID using BGG formatting. If you don't use this format your sweeteners won't show up in the OLWLG properly.
If you've been reported to me as a bad trader, I reserve the right to remove your entries.
Please do NOT include links to other games in your entry unless you are actually including them as a sweetener, as this is displayed in a misleading manner by the OLWLG.
If you feel the need to use them, please keep disclaimers short and to the point so they don't make things hard to read. If you need to use a longer disclaimer, please include a link to it in each of your entries instead of copying the whole thing into each entry - thanks.
Finally - you are expected to periodically check during the item submission period, and preferably during the want list submission period, to see if anyone has commented on your entries. People often ask questions of items - most commonly because you have forgotten to state a version, language or shipping policy - and you should check in to address such questions in a timely manner should they arise, so that everyone then has the correct information available.
You will NOT be able to respond to comments in the GeekList once it is locked down and the submission period begins.
Other useful information
Software Used: TradeMaximizer 1.4 with duplicate protection. SEED=1234567, ITERATIONS=100, METRIC=USERS-TRADING
Please note that it's best to work on your want list and submit them early - you can always make changes and resubmit later. This will prevent you from being left out if you forget the deadline.
Also: Creating want lists is not the same as submitting them. To submit them you will need to click on the "Submit My Wants" button. If you're not sure how to find this, consult the documentation referenced above or ask in the discussion thread.
When you submit your want lists, you will receive a confirming GeekMail. If you don't get one, your want lists haven't been submitted. Your want lists in the GeekMail may be truncated - this is fine.
Thanks for reading to the bottom here - you may be in a minority.
Please enter lots of items and have some fun with this. Good luck!

to settle suits over Autonomy deal; make claim against
ex-CEO Lynch
Send a link to a friend
[June 28, 2014]
By Nadia Damouni, Paul Sandle and Casey Sullivan
(Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard
Co HPQ.N and attorneys representing shareholders have
agreed to settle litigation over its troubled $11.1
billion acquisition of British software company Autonomy
Corp, according to a source familiar with the
Under the terms of the settlement, involving three lawsuits, the
attorneys for the shareholders have agreed to drop all claims
against HP's current and former executives, including CEO Meg
Whitman, board members and advisers to the company, the source said.
The exception to that will be former officials at Autonomy. As part
of the agreement, the shareholders' attorneys will assist HP in
pursuing claims against Autonomy's co-founder and former CEO Michael
Lynch, its former chief financial officer Sushovan Hussain, and
potentially others related to Autonomy, the source said. The precise
nature of such claims and when HP might file them could not be
The settlement, which followed mediation, is expected to be
announced as soon as Monday. The source said it is likely to be
signed before Monday.
HP took an $8.8 billion impairment charge in November 2012 for its
purchase of Autonomy only just over a year earlier, with more than
$5 billion of that linked to what HP said at the time were "serious
accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and disclosure
The size of the loss, and the speed with which it occurred, marks
the deal as one of the most disastrous done by a major company in
recent years.
In particular, sources close to an HP investigation into the matter
say that the technology giant believes that Autonomy's results and
prospects were made to look much better than they were.
Lynch has consistently denied HP's allegations, saying HP is blaming
him for its own failure to manage Autonomy after the acquisition.
A spokesman for Lynch said that "we continue to reject HP's
allegations." He said it appears that Whitman will be using a large
sum of HP's money to avoid explaining in court why she made the
November 2012 allegations regarding Autonomy. "We hope this matter
will now move beyond a smear campaign based on selective disclosure
and HP will finally give a full explanation," the Lynch spokesman
HP responded by saying that it has evidence showing how Autonomy
"created the illusion" that it was a high-growth company. "This had
the effect of misleading investors and HP", it said in a statement.
Hussain has not responded to calls and emails. His lawyer, John
Keker, a founding partner of Keker & Van Nest LLP in San Francisco,
did not respond to requests for comment.
Shareholders had sued HP board members and executives, accusing them
of breaching their fiduciary duties and wasting corporate assets.
The lawsuits sought corporate governance changes at HP, attorneys'
fees, and the ability to pursue damages claims against those
responsible for the acquisition.
Former HP chief executive Leo Apotheker, the architect of the
Autonomy deal who was ousted in September 2011 just weeks after it
was announced, said he believed the conclusions of a special
committee of HP board members that has reviewed the shareholder
lawsuit would be a "welcome measure of vindication".
[to top of second column]
"Mr Apotheker has maintained all along that he acted with integrity,
good faith and in partnership with the HP Board on the Autonomy
acquisition," a spokeswoman for Apotheker said in a statement.
HP has shared the results of its investigation into accounting
questions at Autonomy with attorneys representing the shareholders,
the source familiar with the negotiations said.
One of the law firms representing shareholders in the settlement,
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, declined to comment. The other
firm, Cotchett Pitre & McCarthy LLP, was not immediately available
for comment.
The attorneys representing shareholders will receive fees for
helping HP pursue any further claims, the source said. Additional
terms of HP's settlement with shareholders are unclear.
HP's allegations of accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and
disclosure failures at Autonomy have prompted an investigation by
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, as well as the UK's Serious Fraud Office.
The U.S. authorities have asked for more documents and interviewed
several witnesses in recent weeks, sources familiar with the HP
investigation said.
Representatives of the FBI and the SEC declined to comment. The SFO
said its probe was "very much in progress."
It is unclear if the investigations by the authorities in the U.S.
and UK will lead to action against any parties involved in Autonomy
or HP's deal to acquire it.
At the end of March, HP also settled a lawsuit that accused the
personal computer maker's former management of defrauding
shareholders by abandoning a business model it had long touted. In
that case, the company agreed to pay shareholders $57 million.
The lawsuit was filed after former CEO Apotheker shocked investors
on August 18, 2011 by announcing plans to refocus the company on
business services and products, which included the Autonomy

Rodborough Stroud, Glo'shire England. June 4th 1875.
My dear Sir,
I have been so delighted with a nice copy of your Fairy Tales, given. me by my Godmother on my birthday which was just before yours, that my Father told me I really ought to write and thank you for giving me so much pleasure; I have sendt a likeness of myself and my brother. My Father read to us the "Story of a Mother", he thinks he likes that one best or the "Fellow Traveller", but I like the "Wild Swans", the "Ice Maiden" and the "Snow Queen" and the dear little Mermaid the best of all.
When I was very little and could only say "Traliver" I used to have them read to me.
I hope you will have many more birthdays as pleasant as the last; thanking you for the tales you have written and hoping you will write many more,
I remain yours affectionately

text: Here it is, the trailer for the Disney/Gore Verbinski flick The Lone Ranger, which will hit theaters in 2013. Depp met with the president and other officials of the Navajo Nation in April, and was presented with blanket. Although the members of the Navajo Nation may not have a problem with Depp's portrayal of Tonto, and we'll have to wait for the movie's release to decide whether or not it's a nuanced character (rumor has it there's a twist regarding Tonto's true race/identity) or just plain old red face. But we do hear him speak pidgin English: "There come a time, kemosabe," he says, "when good man must wear mask." Sigh. A very stereotypical version of how Native Americans talk, despite the fact that when Europeans came to these shores, there were millions of indigenous people who spoke hundreds of distinctly different languages. Anyway, that phrase, "kemosabe," is supposed to get us super psyched for this movie, since that's what Tonto called the Lone Ranger — in lines written by white guy Fran Striker, who penned the series in the 1930s. As this headline puts it, "Johnny Depp Sounds Hilariously Racist as Tonto." Trailer below.

Baby animals are so freaking cute that you almost sometimes forget that they are dangerous creatures that have the ability to rip your head off. Well, not all baby animals I mean a baby cat or a baby dog wouldn't do such things. I'm talking about lions, tigers, and bears. I see that the anime baby animals that I drew and submitted made it to "Drago's top 50" and that is great. There is however an animal that is missing from the group that I just thought about doing. I am going to do a tutorial on "how to draw a baby tiger step by step". Baby tigers are so incredibly cute when they are first born and up to five months of age. After that they start looking as big as an adult and then start looking intimidating and then straight mean. Learning "how to draw baby animals" is something that is wicked fun because you can make them look so cute and you can even draw some baby like clothes or toys on them. The baby tiger that you are going to draw is nibbling on a candy heart. The paw pads on his feet and hands are in the shape of hearts as well. I was going to put this baby animal under the "anime animals" section but then realized that it wasn't anime looking at all. Instead he came out looking like a regular tiger cub just in a cartoon like form. I have to get going but I will be back soon. In the mean time grab your pencil and a sheet of paper so you can tackle this lesson on "how to draw a baby tiger step by step". Peace out guys!

"Super Tuesday" wasn't quite as fun this year because, frankly, we weren't involved.
California is in a money crunch and splitting off the presidential primary from the one in June was just going to cost too much.
Will there still be a race when it's our turn?
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Maybe. But probably not.
So, allow me to jump to the next thing that will occupy our attention once it appears Willard "Mitt" Romney wins the nomination.
The Running Mate.
There will be talk of Rubio from Florida and Christie from New Jersey, but if the GOP has any chance of winning in the general election there is only one person to ask, and happily she lives in California.
Conndolezza Rice, the former Secretary of State and Stanford Provost, wouldn't carry California but she would bring to the ticket much the GOP desperately needs: diversity, intellect, experience and excitement.
Four years ago political consultant Steve Schmidt gave the world Sarah Palin, who needed a high school civics lesson before she faced the press. As we all remember, the Katie Couric interview didn't go so well.
Independent voters and yes, the media, will take note of the very different candidate this time.
There will be no need to tutorials. Rice won't call the Vice President "Joe" because she couldn't remember his last name.
She may not be able to see Russia from her front porch, but she does have a Phd in Soviet studies and has negotiated with the Kremlin.
She would also be the first woman to become a heartbeat from the Presidency.
Right now there are many in the GOP who have grown so tired and discouraged with the Republican primary process that more than a few are privately predicting President Obama's easy re-election.
It is still a long way to November and whoever the GOP candidate is will have opportunities. One of them is currently teaching political Science at Stanford.
For now.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Hey, did you hear the one about the third baseman who played spring training games while still strapped to an IV with an open wound from a botched surgery, almost died twice by his own count, and returned to the field by May?
What about the guy whose testicle swelled to the size of a grapefruit thanks to a tear, and played through it?
Or the guy who had 15 inches of his intestines removed during a late-September pennant race, missed one day, and hit a home run two days later? And did so a month after hitting three home runs while playing through the injury?
If Adrian Beltre were nothing more than the guy who'd managed to do all this -- and in his career, entering season 17 in the big leagues, he's played through all that and much more -- he should be a legend.
What's astonishing about Beltre, 34, is that while he's lived through the kind of injuries that sideline people from ordinary activities, he's managed to play through them at a level few third basemen have ever reached.
Using Baseball-Reference.com's Wins Above Replacement, Adrian Beltre rates seventh among all third basemen. Ever.
Here's the list of third basemen better than Beltre, per WAR: Mike Schmidt, Eddie Mathews, Wade Boggs, George Brett, Chipper Jones and Brooks Robinson. All but Jones are in the Hall of Fame, and he will surely follow. All of them, including Jones, are household names among baseball fans in a way Adrian Beltre simply isn't.
Why do we hear about Derek Jeter's famous face-dive into a seat a thousand times for every one mention of that guy with virtually identical career WAR to Jeter, who has lived through, and thrived despite, the kind of experiences that few people can imagine, let alone play baseball through?
So I set off for Surprise, Ariz. (the spring training home of the Texas Rangers) to try and figure out why that was, whether his anonymity comes from circumstantial or more sinister reasons, and most important: Why did Adrian Beltre play baseball while strapped to an IV?
"I went two months without solid food," Beltre told me as we chatted in front of his locker Thursday afternoon, a few hours before a Rangers-Giants spring game. "I went through a couple months without doing anything, just an IV just being stuck to my arm, giving me food. And I was just bored, so I wanted to go out there. And I was gonna take -- not that it was smart, a good thing to do -- I was gonna take ground balls with the bag, with the IV, take ground balls and get ready for the season. I thought I could do it, and I did it."
Thirteen years later, Beltre does share longevity with the third basemen ahead of him on the WAR list. Beltre broke in at 19. Robinson broke in even earlier, at 18, while Brett and Mathews were 20. And all but Mathews played until age 39, with four of the six turning 40 in the major leagues.
But how and where they experienced their longevity may hold one key to their significant fame advantage over Beltre. Schmidt, Robinson, Brett and Jones played their entire careers with one team. The other two multi-team third basemen on the list are Mathews, known mostly for his Milwaukee Braves tenure, and Boggs, whose fame is split between the Red Sox and Yankees.
But whose uniform do you picture Adrian Beltre playing in?
For some, it may be the Seattle Mariners. But after Beltre had a career year in 2004 with the Dodgers, then signed with the Mariners in 2005, he didn't return to that level of production. Some people concluded afterward that the guy who played through everything was competing at less than full effort when a contract wasn't on the line.
The truth is more complicated, and has nothing to do with effort. Beltre went through the multiple surgeries for appendicitis in 2001, and acknowledges it took him far longer than the time he returned to the field to feel like his complete self again. The guy who put up a 114 OPS+ at age 21 slipped to 91, 97 and 88 in the three seasons that followed the trauma. Only in 2004 did he get to that 48-homer, 163 OPS+ plateau again.
A player who excels as much as Beltre did so early in his career is usually a good bet to break out the way he eventually did. That it took him a while is just common sense.
"I can't recall exactly how long it took me, but I do know they expected me to come back the second half of the season (after the surgery)," Beltre said. "I came back in May. I wanted to get back on the field. I know I struggled a little bit. I probably didn't feel strong enough to be out there every day. But mentally I was there. I was ready, and I wanted to play."
Still, his numbers dropped in Seattle, and that's another thing going against Beltre -- what are usually the peak years for a player were merely adequate for Beltre offensively. And to really appreciate him defensively, one needed to watch him regularly in Seattle, which wasn't happening for much of the country.
Interestingly, Beltre seems to have figured out how to not only stay on the field in his 30s, but play through them. He's stayed on the field for 154 games or more in three of the last four seasons, including 161 last year. And his OPS+ over that span in 137.
He's done this, first in Boston, then the last three years with the Rangers, two times getting to the playoffs. So the hidden in plain sight thing isn't really an excuse anymore. And his first seven seasons, including the IV one, took place in Los Angeles. So arguably, it never really applied.
* * *
So what is it, then? Is his race to blame? Are we simply seeing a national incapacity to equate a Dominican player with the kind of grittiness that gets assigned, with disturbing regularity, to mainly white players?
For his part, Rangers manager Ron Washington doesn't see it that way.
"Ah, I don't buy that," Washington said, sitting in a back field dugout on Thursday afternoon. "The people who came up with that would have to answer if that's right or wrong."
Beltre responded to my question about the role ethnicity plays in his perception without denying the basic reality that there's a gap between the way he plays and the way he's portrayed.
"I do what I do because I love it," Beltre said. "I don't play for what the media thinks. I like to have the respect of my peers, my teammates around me. It's what I've done in the game, that's it. But I'll always -- I come from the Dominican Republic, another country. It's, for me, my dream, has always been baseball player. Everything I went through to be here, to get to the big leagues, is more than enough for me."
Washington pointed out that Beltre certainly has earned that peer respect. "But I can tell you what: baseball people know who Beltre is. Every team in baseball knows who Adrian Beltre is. The media market he's in may not have put him out there, but I guarantee you knowledgeable people in the game of baseball know who Adrian Beltre is."
One thing that changed last season was Beltre's defensive numbers, down from exceptional to slightly below average. For most of his career, his glove has been as impressive as anyone -- third highest defensive WAR in baseball history by a third baseman, only trailing Buddy Bell and Brooks Robinson. A normal Beltre season will allow him to pass Bell this year, and leave only Robinson ahead of him. But in his age-35 season, a normal Beltre season may not be so easy to reach
"My mindset is, first of all to be healthy enough to be out there," Beltre said. "And second of all, I don't really play defense to not make errors. I don't play defense to look good. I play defense to help my team and win ballgames. And my challenge has always been, if the ball's hit near me, I'm going to do everything in my power to get the guy out."
So I had to ask him: does he ever think about how much healthier he might be at this point if he didn't, say, play with some of his more serious injuries?
"I mean, I wouldn't recommend it," Beltre said, his earnest responses yielding a smile at last. He laughed when I pointed out that even if he did, few would take him up on the advice. "But that's what I did, that's what I felt like doing. And I would do it again... I don't regret anything I've done in baseball."
Even as he strives to stay at the level he's attained, largely unnoticed, for nearly two decades, Beltre simply doesn't think about the scope of his career to date, or what it will feel like when he finally stops taking every baseball challenge.
"I'm not that type of guy," he said. "I don't know how many home runs I've hit unless I see it up on the scoreboard. I don't keep track of that. I'm not a big WAR guy, either. All that new stuff that's coming out now. I don't keep up with that."
"I don't really want to think about (retirement)," Beltre added. "But obviously, it's closer than it's been for years."
When that time comes, his manager believes the adulation that's been maddeningly slow to come Adrian Beltre's way will be his at last.
"I think if Adrian stays healthy, and is able to continue to play the game at the level he's playing it at, I don't think they're gonna be able to ignore it."

End to End Extreme Day 6&7 – Steve Prescott FoundationPosted by: | Comments
Day 6 Update – Penrith to Dumbarton- End to End eXtreme Challenge
140 mile total mileage, 110 mile of that was into a massive headwind. 6 Days in the mental and physical strain is starting to show in the team, "this was the toughest day yet", said Neil. Even some of the guys who were experienced cyclist 'hit the wall' on this leg.
Neil also realised just how important protective head gear is when riding a bike. He said " I clipped Precky's back wheel and it was either take both of them out or just bail out, so I bailed out. I thought it would be better going backwards as opposed to sideways and doing my elbow and arm in, so I bailed of the bike backwards and my helmet smashed against the tarmac. Only for the helmet, I would of been a goner!" Luckily though, Neil wasn't hurt too badly at all. Got back on his bike and carried on with the rest of the team.
Neil's team mate Nigel wasn't so lucky though, he was another casualty of this gruelling 140 miles stage. Nigel came off at a roundabout and smashed his elbow into the road. Unbelievably Nigel then rode for about 50 miles and finished the stage riding WITH ONE HAND!
I think that just shows the sheer guts and determination of these guys. What an monumental effort!!
They started cycling at around 5:30am and finally made it to Dumbarton for 9:40pm! This challenge is just off the scale.
Day 7 Update – Dumbarton to Fort William – End to End eXtreme Challenge
Neil told me today was going to be reasonably easy as they only had to cycle 74 miles! "I never thought I'd hear myself say that" he said.
I spoke to him around 5:45pm today as he was sat looking out over Loch Lomond. He said all the team where at the hotel, showered and ready to eat. "This was the most enjoyable stage of the challenge so far. Some beautiful scenery and not as many massive hills. This will be the first night we'll get some decent sleep and give our bodies chance to recuperate."
I think they're going to need it though as tomorrow (Saturday) they've got a 100 mile ride with Ben Nevis to climb after the first 15 miles or so.
To show your support and help Neil reach his target of £1,000 for the Steve Precott Foundation please click the link below

End to End Extreme – Steve Prescott FoundationPosted by: | Comments
Hi, it's Ian here, Neil's brother. I thought i'd give a quick update on how Neil's getting on in his latest challenge raising money for the Steve Prescott Foundation, the End to End Extreme Challenge.
Last Saturday morning (2nd June 2011), all the guys set off from Lands End on a 1024 mile cycle ride to John O'Groats. On route they planned to climb Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis.
I don't think any of them realised exactly what it was they'd took on. This is a MASSIVE challenge to even the most keenest of cycling enthusiast and they had to complete the challenge in 9 days!
To sponsor Neil in this monumental challenge, and help him hit his £1,000 target please click the following link….
—> http://bit.ly/NeilHEndtoEndX
As of writing this Neil's 54% of target, let's see if we can give a big push towards that magical £1,000
I spoke to Neil last night (8th June) after they'd just rode 40 miles from Lancaster to Scafell Pike in the Lake District, climbed Scafell Pike, which took them around 6 hours 40mins and then rode another 25 miles in terrential rain to Penrith where they stayed the night.
This took them to around 590 miles so far PLUS Snowdon and Scafell Pike in the bag.
You can catch up with all the latest developments here…
This morning they had another 140 miles to ride to Dumbarton before they ride up to Fort William tomorrow to take on Ben Nevis.
This has been a huge effort so far by all the guys involved and they've raised thousands of pounds so far for the Steve Prescott Foundation.
Steve himself is one amazing guy! 4 years ago he was given only months to live, but Steve wasn't having that and proceeded to take on bigger and bigger challenges each year to raise money for The Christie in Manchester and Try Assist. Last year in 2010 Steve and his pals ran 4 marathons in 4 days and was also rightfully awarded an MBE for his services to charity.
Steve is a real inspiration and a true warrior. And that goes for all the guys who've taken part in the challenges with Steve, as I'm sure they'd of been 10 times more difficult without them.
I'll hopefully be speaking to Neil tonight for another update so I'll post here and let you know how they're getting on.
Don't forget, if you can spare a couple of pounds and help Neil reach his target of £1,000 I'm sure it would help numb the pain of them last few hundred miles, oh and Ben Nevis 🙂

Penn State among Peace Corps' top volunteer-producing universities in 2014
Penn State among Peace Corps' top volunteer-producing universities in 2014
The Peace Corps today (Feb. 11) released the 2014 rankings of the top volunteer-producing colleges and universities across the country. Penn State ranked No. 18 among large schools, with 42 undergraduate alumni currently volunteering worldwide. In 2013, Penn State ranked No. 21.
Penn State alumni are currently serving as volunteers in Armenia, Burkina Faso, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Jordan, Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia, Macedonia, Micronesia, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, the Philippines, Senegal, Swaziland, Tanzania and Ukraine. They work in areas including agriculture, education, environment, health, community economic development and youth development.
"The same passion that launched the Peace Corps more than 50 years ago fuels progress in developing countries today thanks to the leadership and creativity that college graduates bring to their Peace Corps service," Peace Corps Acting Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet said. "The unique Peace Corps experience helps recent graduates cultivate highly sought-after skills that will launch their careers in today's global economy."
Since the first days of the Peace Corps, 1,013 Penn State alumni have traveled abroad to serve as volunteers.
"The problems and situations that Peace Corps volunteers live and deal with are very complex and interrelated," said Mario Machado, a 2011 Penn State College of the Liberal Arts alumnus who recently returned from Peace Corps service in Paraguay. "Having a good theoretical background on things like poverty, agriculture, ecology and anthropology helps to put all those issues into context and to understand them not just on a surface level, but as part of a much bigger picture of the world."
In 2013, Pennsylvania was the No. 8 Peace Corps volunteer-producing state in the nation, with 284 Keystone State residents serving overseas.
Service in the Peace Corps is a life-defining, hands-on leadership experience that offers volunteers the opportunity to travel to the farthest corners of the world and make a lasting difference in the lives of others. Peace Corps volunteers live and work at the community level and promote a better understanding between Americans and the people they serve, while at the same time becoming global citizens.
When they return home, volunteers bring knowledge and experiences that give them a competitive edge for 21st-century jobs and advanced educational opportunities. They give back to their own communities and enrich the lives of those around them, helping to strengthen international ties and increase our country's global competitiveness.
The Peace Corps has eight regional recruitment offices across the United States that work closely with prospective volunteers to ensure that all Americans who want to serve have the opportunity to do so. The Northeast regional recruitment office serves Penn State, and Peace Corps recruiters are based throughout the region.
Penn State students interested in learning more about Peace Corps service should contact campus recruiter Elizabeth Ewaskio at email@example.com or 814-865-4594.
The Peace Corps ranks the top volunteer-producing colleges and universities annually according to the size of the student body.
Rankings are calculated based on fiscal year 2013 data as of Sept. 30, 2013, as self-reported by Peace Corps volunteers.
For more information about the Peace Corps' 2014 Top Colleges, visit http://files.peacecorps.gov/images/news/releases/TC2014Infographic.pdf.
About the Peace Corps: As the preeminent international service organization of the United States, the Peace Corps sends Americans abroad to tackle the most pressing needs of people around the world. Peace Corps volunteers work at the grassroots level with local governments, schools, communities, small businesses and entrepreneurs to develop sustainable solutions that address challenges in education, health, economic development, agriculture, environment and youth development. When they return home, volunteers bring their knowledge and experiences – and a global outlook – back to the United States that enriches the lives of those around them. President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961 to foster a better understanding among Americans and people of other countries. Since then, more than 215,000 Americans of all ages have served in 139 countries worldwide. Visit www.peacecorps.gov to learn more.

Intelligent design and popular culture: Art critic in the NY Times?
thoughts about Vermeer's "Young Woman with a Water Pitcher", on view at the Met
...Vermeer's young woman is bathed in the light of the Holy Spirit...All is painted with excruciating, reverential tenderness. To be sure, everything in the picture can be explained without invoking supernatural agency. In its slightly blurry, photographic realism, the painting presents an implacably empirical view of the world. The image looks almost as if it had been photo-chemically imprinted on the canvas without manual intervention, and the picture in turns stamps itself on our retinas. Optical nerves fire, neurotransmitters swarm and the image somehow appears in our minds. Whether you believe in intelligent design or Darwinian happenstance, it is pretty miraculous.(12/31/10)Friend notes,
When ID wanders into the analysis of a NY Times art critic, the idea is making cultural inroads.Yes, I think so.
I can remember googling "intelligent design" a decade ago and coming up with the Web sites of firms selling non-walloping window blinds.

Conform: Exposing the Truth About Common Core and Public Education
Conform: Exposing the Truth About Common Core and Public Education3.0 2 5 Forfatter: Glenn Beck Oplæser: Jeremy Lowell
Findes som lydbog.
Public education is never mentioned in the constitution. Why? Because our founders knew that it was an issue for state and local governments—not the federal one.
It's not a coincidence that the more the federal government has inserted itself into public education over the years, the worse our kids have fared. Washington dangles millions of dollars in front of states and then tells them what they have to do to get it. It's backdoor nationalization of education—and it's leading us to ruin.
In Conform, Glenn Beck presents a well-reasoned, fact-based analysis that proves it's not more money our schools need—it's a complete refocusing of their priorities and a total restructuring of their relationship with the federal government. In the process, he dismantles many of the common myths and talking points that are often heard by those who want to protect the status quo.
Critics of the current system are just "teacher bashers"…Teachers' unions put kids first...Homeschooled kids suffer both academically and socially…"local control" is an excuse to protect mediocrity…Common Core is "rigorous" and "state led"…Critics of Common Core are just conspiracy theorists…Elementary school teachers need tenure...We can't reform schools until we eradicate poverty…school choice takes money away from public schools…Charter schools perform poorly relative to public schools.
There is no issue more important to America's future than education. The fact that we've yielded control over it to powerful unions and ideologically driven elitists is inexcusable. We are failing ourselves, our children, and our country. Conform gives parents the facts they need to take back the debate and help usher in a new era of education built around the commonsense principles of choice, freedom, and accountability.
