The Gary J. Sbona Honors Program
The Honors Practicum was started 8 years ago to best prepare our top students for the business world by providing them with an opportunity to get real on the job experience as part of their college curriculum. The program was designed as a win-win situation in that participating companies get our top students to do much needed projects at no cost to them! In addition, the program provides firms with the opportunity to preview our best students for possible future employment. Three years ago, the Program was adopted by the College of Business to include all four departments Ð Accounting & Finance, Marketing, MIS and Organization & Management. As a result, we now have the flexibility of providing teams of students from multiple disciplines as well as departmental specific. Most recently, Gary J. Sbona, a San Jose State College of Business Alum and successful business man, has agreed to sponsor the program and has committed a substantial amount of money to support the program and promote its expansion to global dimensions.
The way the program works is that the professors do the student selection process which includes a review of transcripts, resumes, a written essay and a face to face interview before selecting students for this class. Students are evaluated for their academic results as well as prior work experience, school activities, and their ability to communicate both orally and written. The average student in this class has had a 3.5 GPA, 2 plus years of work experience, and were involved in at least one or more extracurricular activities either on or off campus.
The program for the Spring semester begins the last week of January and runs through the last week of April. In the Fall semester, the program runs from the last week in August through the last week in November. Students will be provided to companies in groups of at least 3 or more and will be expected to work approximately 8 hours each per week on the project. Projects can be of any type, much the same as the real world where teams of employees are selected to work on badly needed projects. Ideally, projects would require students to use their critical thinking, technical skills, research, diversity and teamwork to mutual advantage. It would allow them to apply what they have learned in the classroom to a real world problem and come up with an innovative solution. The project should not be "busy work" or tasks performed by paid interns. The professors and students will go over the proposed projects with the companies to clarify issues and come to mutual agreement. Each project should have a specific deliverable, either in the form of a report, power point presentation or what ever the company decides would be most useful to them.
Past projects have included value chain analyses; product to market timing and issues; benchmarking procedures and reporting; Sarbanes Oxley implementation; manufacturing efficiency studies; market research; impact of social responsibility on stock price and trading; new employee training module; automated loan screening and approval tool; internal audit procedure evaluation; cost accounting system analysis and recommendations; etc. As you can see, the topics are diverse and challenging.
Firms who are participating or have participated in the program include: Hewlett Packard, Applied Materials, Cisco Systems, Bausch & Lomb, BEA, BayBio Consortium, Bridge Bank, City of San Jose, Silicon Valley Bank, Subaru, Heritage Bank, Abbott, Stringham & Lynch, National Semiconductor, Agilent Technologies, Frank Rimerman, Creative Labs, Electroglas, Tecan Systems, PLX Technology, Calpine, VNUS, The Health Trust, Intuit, Sun Microsystems, Seagate, KLA-Tencor, Adobe, the FBI, the CIA, Symantec, Target, SETI Institute, Perkin Elmer, Accenture, Yahoo!, the SF 49ers and others.
Feedback from participating firms has been excellent. Feedback from students has been ecstatic. If your firm is interested in participating in this program, please let us know at your earliest convenience what topics you might have that need doing and let's set up a time to get together and discuss them. Ultimately, we will need a one page data sheet that briefly describes your company, the project and the deliverables. We will give these to the students on the first day of class, where choices will be made as to who works on which project.
Please contact Bill DeVincenzi, Program Director, if you require additional information. Phone: 408-924-3488, or, preferably by email at email@example.com.

Sophomore to Open Sold-Out Macklemore Concert
By Kristina Johnson, Class of 2013
Augustana Mirror
This feature story appeared in the March 22, 2013, issue of The Mirror, the Augustana student newspaper.
As if basketball players weren't in the Elmen Center enough, on Friday, April 5, a member of the men's team will be in the Elmen to perform.
Darren Glover, a New York City-born, Minnesota-bred sophomore from Wayzata, Minn., will open for Soulcrate and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
Glover started basketball long before music crept in as a hobby and potential career. His earliest court wasn't exactly regulation sized, as he first got his hands on a basketball while still in a crib. Progressing from one-on-none, he played for various leagues throughout high school and even won a state championship while on the roster for Benilde-St. Margaret's in St. Louis Park, Minn.
However, he became serious about his music in the summer before his senior year of high school after having knee surgery.
Glover would get together with friends and play instrumentals. Slowly, they began to add free styling to the musical mix. And he and his friends both discovered his talent in putting words to a beat.
While he began hip-hop free styling, he started writing down lyrics after receiving positive feedback on his music.
"I think just this past year is where I have really cracked down on writing stuff more from my heart," Glover said.
D. Glove first started as a nickname from his friends. It eventually became his performance name.
As a freshman at St. Michael's College in Vermont, he put together his first mixtape "First Round Knockout." So far away from home, it was difficult for Glover to share his music.
"The majority of people who listened to it were people back home in Minnesota, which was tough," Glover said.
"Blessed," his newest mixtape, was released in October 2012 and contains the songs "We Likes to Party" and "Cry for Help."
His D. Glove Facebook fan page lists Adele as one of his musical influences, an unexpected choice for a hip-hop artist.
"I like picking up like a line or a verse from an artist like Adele and be able to transform that into a hip-hop song where people can put in their speakers and play loudly and its over like a hip-hop type style beat," Glover said.
He's also influenced by his faith. Glover, a Catholic who attends church and prays, wants his music to reflect that college students can be religious but still have fun when the school week is over.
Fans shouldn't expect an opportunity like opening for a Billboard chart topper like Macklemore to change Glover in any way, except for maybe an increase in energy while onstage.
Glover said he wants his fans to see him as one person: student and performer.
"I'm the exact same person you hear when I'm on the microphone," Glover said. "I don't want it to be anything different."
On the day of the concert, Glover will act like a regular student on the day-of, despite the magnitude of his performance. He said he will even likely attend class.
"I think it's cool that I go to class and then at night be able to perform at a 4,200 sold-out Macklemore show," Glover said.
In basketball, Glover has learned to block out the crowd in order to concentrate on the game, but at the concert, he'll have to let it in.
"Basketball's more of being able to shut the crowd off," Glover said. "But for music, I guess it's the opposite where your main focus is; you have to focus on the crowd."
Glover enjoys performing because of the response his music gets from the audience.
"There is no better feeling than seeing four people or 4,000 people smiling and having an awesome time listening to my own music that I created," Glover said.
Macklemore has "My Oh My," a song about the Seattle Mariners and someday, Augustana basketball may have a song too.
Glover had a pact with roommates and basketball teammates, Yuriy Malashenko and Alex Richter, about creating an anthem for Augustana basketball. If the team had made it to the NCAA Final Four in the basketball tournament, Glover would have tried to write a song about the team.
"I'll try to make it as seriously as I can," Glover said. "But it's tough to do that with all the jokesters that we've got."
While the men's team didn't make it the Final Four this year — they lost to Winona State in the regional semifinal round Sunday, March 17 — Glover has two more seasons with the Augie basketball team to fulfill the pact.
Glover says the players on the basketball team are also his biggest supporters at Augustana.
"They always support my music and they're always telling people about it on weekends when we go out to all the different places," Glover said. "They're always helping, handing out mixed tapes."
During the women's basketball games, some of the men's players trickle out to the stands in their grey and yellow tracksuits and sit, silent and stone-faced while sporting headphones. Many are listening to a playlist that includes D. Glove's music.
While basketball is most important for his coaches, Chad Hetterman, a graduate assistant coach for the men's team, said they "support him any way we can."
"All in all, I am just trying to make him a better musician while having a good time with it," Hetterman said.
"Coach Hetterman always makes jokes sometimes that if I need anything from them I always have to freestyle for it," Glover said.
Hetterman said the team visiting a sandwich shop was an occasion requiring Glover's rap skills.
"For the team to be allowed to get soup at Erbert and Gerbert's he had to rap all the soups into a song and sing it to the cashier," Hetterman said.
Glover wrote the rap, which features eight varieties of soup, in less than 20 minutes.
His lyrics included: "I'm here with my team, I'm not alone. Sorry if my breath is kickin' from that French Onion and Provolone."
Due to the major time commitment of the basketball season, Glover often puts on his headphones, play his instrumentals, and writes new lyrics on his phone while on the bus to or from a game.
His roommates, all basketball teammates, get a sneak peek into his music.
"It's nice to be able to hear his songs early," Malashenko said. "Sometimes I'll even sit in and listen to him record the songs. It's a pretty cool experience."
Glover is used to playing as a team, and his musical debut in Sioux Falls will be no different, although this team will be smaller. He will be joined onstage by DJ SideReal and Evan Battle, his best friend and hype man.

Where can I learn how to participate in gene therapy or other clinical trials? How do I know if I could be eligible?
James Stevenson, MD, Medical Oncologist, responds:
The most comprehensive resource to check is the clinicaltrials.gov website. There, you can search for clinical trials using a variety of filters, and the eligibility criteria are listed in the trial descriptions. You can also work through OncoLink's Clinical Trials Matching Service to find trials that are specifically being done at Penn and elsewhere.

Hi everyone. I have looked all over the internet for a detailed cloud tutorial that showed how to actually "paint" clouds, and not use the render filters in photoshop. I've found a few, but they were undetailed and mediocre at best.
So, after some time spent playing around with different brushes and using some pictures of actual clouds, I have made my first attempt at creating a useful tutorial!
If you would be so kind as to check it out and give me your critiques, it will really help me when creating additional tutorials. Thank you!

Being a part of the voting process and the ability to exercise their right to vote is the common bond among Eleanor Smith, Margaret Schnepp and Carmen Oswalt.
The three women have been volunteering at the polls on Election Day for quite a while and, for each, it's a special event.
Oswalt says she was bit by the election bug a long time ago.
"I was approached by a friend who worked on an election board and that's how I got started," she says. "I've been volunteering since 1971."
Oswalt adds that being a part of the process is why she keep coming back.
"I like working with most of the people and helping them voice their opinion," she says. "Whenever someone starts complaining about the country or politics, the first question I ask is whether or not they vote."
Oswalt says that considering how many people in other countries don't have the privilege of having their voices heard, she doesn't understand why more people don't exercise their right to vote.
"I don't think it's too much to ask of someone to take some time out of his or her day to help make a difference," she says.
Smith is a 10-year volunteer and loves the voting process.
"Helping that process happen is important to me," she says. "That's why I continue to volunteer."
Although she has been volunteering for only six years, Schnepp says that after being called by a neighbor to help out the first time, she was hooked.
"I enjoyed volunteering," she says. "It's a worthwhile process and one that is important to our country."
She adds that she feels that it is necessary for citizens to exercise their right to vote, not just in local elections, but on the national level as well.
"Today, more than ever, it is important that people vote as it determines the future of our country," Schnepp. "And we all need to have our say in that."

The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office is still searching for a mental patient who left Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma Sept. 13, but his family has lost hope he is still alive.
Elroy Neville , 51, 134 King St., suffers from frequent seizures, said Mira Neville, Elroy's 53-year-old sister. He was admitted to the hospital after having a seizure Sept. 12 and left the next day.
Callers said they spotted Elroy Neville on Denley Road in the Ashland North subdivision, but police have been unable to find him.
Elroy Neville was spotted heading in the direction of a wooded area behind the subdivision by two teenage boys and taped by a camera on American Boulevard, Mira Neville said.
On a daily basis, the Water Patrol Search and Rescue was searching the large, swampy area that is thick with vegetation, said Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Dawn Foret.
"We haven't received any tips," Foret said. "The search team is searching sporadically."
Mira Neville said she believes the search has been called off.
"I talked to the detective last Thursday," she said. "They stopped the search last Wednesday."
Foret said that is not true and "it will remain an active investigation until he's found."
Elroy Neville runs when he has seizures, his sister said.
"When he goes into a seizure, he takes off running without knowing where he is going," she said. "He doesn't know where he's running to. He just takes off."
Elroy Neville suffers from seizures as a result of previous drug use but does not use drugs anymore, Mira Neville said.
Elroy Neville would chain his leg to the bed when he went to sleep to keep himself from running away, she said. About three months ago, he had a seizure in his sleep and he "went straight through the window."
"He's always hurting himself, so that's why he put the chain on his leg," Mira Neville said.
Mira Neville said hospital staff are familiar with her brother's condition and normally restrain him to the bed when he is admitted for seizures.
"(The family members) wonder why they didn't keep an eye on him," she said. "That Friday, he didn't have a restraint."
When Elroy Neville is not having seizures, he is normal.
"He just sits outside and listens to his music," his sister said. "He loves his music."
After more than two weeks without a sign of Elroy, the Nevilles have lost hope that he will be found alive.
"We know he's not alive," Mira Neville said. "We just want some closure that they at least find the body."
The greatest dangers in the area are insects, sharp bushes and water moccasins, said Paul Yakupzack, refuge manager at the Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge, which is a few miles southwest of the wooded area where Elroy Neville was last seen.
"The mosquitos and the deer flies are really bad right now," he said. "They'd probably be worse than the snakes and coyotes."
Without good boots, the briar and palmetto bushes are a fairly significant danger, he added.
"It's got to be miserable out there," Yakupzack said. "It's a pretty harsh environment out there."
Neville is 5 feet, 11 inches and weighs about 200 pounds, said Maj. Malcolm Wolfe of the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office.
He was wearing a hospital gown, socks, and underwear when he left the hospital, Mira Neville said.
Anyone who spots Neville or knows his whereabouts is asked to call 876-2500.
Staff Writer Jean-Paul Arguello can be reached at 448-7617 or at email@example.com.

Allen Human Brain Atlas
A month ago, I saw a piece by Jonah Lehrer on Wired Science Online interviewing Allan Jones, CEO of the Allen Institute for Brain Science. Illustrations were bursting from the seams of that piece, and I quickly contacted Mr. Lehrer to ask for permission to visually map his interview. I wanted to take the reader, with very graphic graphics, through what it means to make a map of the human brain. What a trip!
These are the results, which were slow going due to a new gig scribing at AlphaChimp Studio, Inc. As usual, click on each image to see it full size in a new tab. Use the magnifying glass to increase its legibility. Enjoy!

Bread Shoes black
Bread Shoes blackSouvenir: made from real Bread . Not wearable on feet... first in fashion… for interesting lifestyle… needs no pressing... dries itself...Size: 27cm x 13cm x 8cmBread Shoes are a souvenir to put on the TV or show to your neighbours, not ideal for using them as real shoes. This product is for clever people, who feel we are talking about.This is not a product for money. This product comes with a concept – let it be a souvenir. We took a product from the food market and did a reincarnation. Every pair is unique and comes with a best suitable hand-picked cardboard box.It is not hardened, and it is not weather-resistant. It is a natural product from real Bread. Bread Shoes feel very good in dry climate. We own Bread Shoes ourselves. One shoe is dead, another is fine, five years old. We wear it like a box for new soup. In wet orbit they go mold, mushy and washy, comic and funny… It's design likes a joke for fantasy to restart your brains

When Woolworths approached me to be one of their Masterchef SA bloggers, I was over-the-moon. Not only is Woolworths my first choice supermarket for groceries (and shoes, clothes, handbags…), they are also one of the best brands in South Africa (in my opinion). So being associated with them is just wonderful. And to do be blogging about Masterchef SA is the cherry on top! I just love the Masterchef franchise and if last week's first episode was anything to go by, this is going to be a very exciting series! Go have a look at The Pantry on the Woolworths website to see all the recipes, ideas and tips.
As my first recipe for the Woolworths/Masterchef SA series, I decided to make a delicious marinated calamari and fennel salad as the contestants were asked to create cold dishes for the first round of auditions.
When you think of Summer you think of beaches, cocktails, sun-kissed skin and easy entertaining. That's where this delicious salad comes in. Taking all of 20 minutes from prep to plate, this salad will not only wow your guests but also requires minimum effort from you.
I used 500g of fresh Patagonian calamari from Woolworths (such a treat as they come in easy-to-use tub) and gave them a quick sear before adding them to fresh and zesty dressing along with the thinly sliced fennel.
I love serving the salad at room temperature as part of a tapas board but if you wanted to you could serve it on a bed of rocket or watercress with some grilled sourdough. And, of course, a glass of ice cold Chenin Blanc (or three)!
Serves 4-6 as part of a Tapas board
for the marinade
50ml olive oil
50ml freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of approximately 2 lemons)
zest of 1 lemon
3T fresh parsley, finely chopped

Home cooked lunch was delivered to us. We had fried chicken, Pork adobo, spaghetti, steamed rice,squash bread and coke.
We rented a tent thinking we could sleep in here but it was too hot and uncomfortable!
The 10 of us ended up squeezing ourselves into one small room. I hope the owner of the resort won't be able to read this! lol! Such chaos but fun!

Now that tempers (and ostensibly, the thermal fax machine) have cooled down, the Broncos are ready to do business again.
According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, the Broncos have resumed negotiations with Elvis Dumervil after last Friday's fiasco that saw him released when a deal to restructure his contract wasn't filed in time.
"We've offered Elvis a contract," Broncos executive John Elway said. "We'd like to have Elvis back."
Of course, they can't offer as much as they might have before, thanks to the salary cap proration they had to eat when they released him.
They had agreed to take his $12 million salary to $8 million, as part of a three-year, $30 million deal which never became official.
Of course, other teams are interested too, notably the Ravens.
And if the Broncos can't work out a deal with new agent Tom Condon for Dumervil, they can always ask about the still-available and already mentioned Dwight Freeney on the same phone call, since he represents both.

Claim Your Property This Holiday Season at YourMoney.OK.gov
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – December 11, 2009 – As the holiday season arrives, a little extra cash could go a long way. That cash could be waiting for you in the form of unclaimed property. More than $300 million for over 500,000 Oklahomans is in the state's Unclaimed Property fund and can be easily found by visiting http://YourMoney.OK.gov.
In the past four years, Treasurer Meacham has returned almost $61 million in unclaimed property to more than 67,000 Oklahomans. Unclaimed property includes everything from jewelry, stock certificates, coin collections and cash. Searching for unclaimed property is a free service and is as easy as entering a valid last name and clicking a 'Search Unclaimed Property' button.
"The odds of an Oklahoman having unclaimed property are one-in-seven, much better odds than winning the lottery," said State Treasurer Scott Meacham. "Besides, our service is always free. We never make you pay for getting what rightfully belongs to you."
Property is considered unclaimed when there is a lack of activity generated by the rightful owner of the property. Evidence of this inactivity includes failure to cash a check, the return of a check or correspondence by the Post Office as undeliverable, or the absence of any communication from the owner. If property remains unclaimed for a certain number of years set by statute, it is considered abandoned and must be reported to the state's unclaimed property program.
The Oklahoma State Treasurer's Unclaimed Property online service is a product of a partnership between the Oklahoma State Treasurer and OK.gov, Oklahoma's Official Web site.

European Commission - Press Release - European Commission Press release Brussels, 19 November 2012
The teaching of IT, entrepreneurial and citizenship skills is fundamental for preparing young people for today's job market, but, in general, schools are still paying insufficient attention to these transversal skills compared with basic skills in literacy, mathematics and science, according to a new European Commission report. Part of the problem is rooted in difficulties with assessment.
===> For example, only 11 European countries (Belgium Flemish community, Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Finland) have standardised procedures to assess citizenship skills, which aim to develop critical thinking and active participation in school and society. <===
Such testing does not exist at all for entrepreneurship and IT skills in any of the 31 countries which took part in the survey (27 EU Member States, Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Turkey). The report also outlines progress in teaching six of the eight key competences defined at EU level for lifelong learning in knowledge, skills and attitudes.
"It is only by equipping children and young people with the necessary skills, including transversal skills, that we will ensure that the European Union will have the means to remain competitive and to seize the opportunities of the knowledge economy," said Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth.
"This study shows us where there is room for improvement and, most importantly, what we need to do to create more opportunities for our youth.
===> Rethinking education, a policy initiative that I will launch tomorrow, will outline concrete proposals for doing this." <===

Foster's creditors line up to collectThe court records suggest that Foster's creditors attempted to retrieve what he owed them.
In the Lincoln County Court records for 1788, there are records of a Boston merchant attempting to collect a sizeable debt from Foster. Henry Sewall kept tabs on the case in his diary. He records his correspondence with the Boston merchant's attorney, his attendance at the trial in Pownalborough, and his attendance at the appeal, which Foster lost. (Notice that Henry Sewall was in Pownalborough for other reasons, too. His defamation case with Foster was still brewing.)
Looking through the town's property deeds, we find records showing Isaac Foster sold some unimproved property in 1790 for 60 pounds. He'd acquired the same property a couple of years earlier for 200 pounds, but the town treasurer held a mortgage on the property. It seems Foster was being forced to hand over the land because he was unable to raise the funds required to pay off a 30 pound debt.

The South Coast Water District customers can comment on the district's updated Urban Water Management Plan by e-mail, regular mail or at two meetings.
The proposed update details how drinking water will be provided in the next 30 years and will be voted on at the June 23 board meeting. Once adopted, the plan will be incorporated into the management plan of Metropolitan Water District of Sothern California, which supplies imported water to the district.
The deadline to submit comments is 5 p.m. June 23. Comments can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com or South Coast Water District, P. O. Box 30205, Laguna Niguel, CA. 92607. Public comments will also be accepted at the Engineering & Operations Committee meeting at 1 p.m. Monday in the district's administrative office, 31592 West St., Laguna Beach, and at the board of directors meeting at 6 p.m. June 23 in the Dana Point City Council Chambers, 33282 Golden Lantern.
The state requires updates every five years.
The draft may be reviewed at https://www.scwd.org or at the administrative office, open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.
About 20% of the district's water is harvested locally, while the rest is imported from Northern California and the Colorado River, sources that are becoming increasingly unreliable and expensive, district officials reported.
The district plans to invest an estimated $55 million to decrease its dependence from imported water by nearly 50%, committing itself to developing local groundwater supplies, participating in ocean desalination projects, expanding the recycled water system and improving recycled water quality.

I cut the pieces a little big this time, but nobody seemed to mind. Fudgy, Cherry Cake Brownies Cake - 2 eggs, 1 can of cherry pie filling, and 1 box of devils food cake mix. Frosting - 5 TB butter, 1/3 C milk, 1/2 C sugar and a half of a bag of chocolate chips. Mix the cake ingredients. Pour into an 8 1/2 x 11 cake pan. Bake for 30 min until toothpick comes out clean. After you remove the cake from the oven, start preparing frosting. In a small saucepan, melt the chips, butter, milk and sugar until completely melted and all the sugar is dissolved.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Courtesy of a hat trick by senior Tyler Evans and two goals by freshman Tobias Winter, the Birmingham-Southern men's soccer team opened the 2011 season with a 9-0 victory against Blackburn College in game two of the 2011 Jim 'n Nick's/PUMA Labor Day Classic.
Senior Tony Crocker got the scoring started in the ninth minute off an assist from senior Sean Head, and the Panthers went up 2-0 less than two minutes later when Evans scored his first goal of the game at the 10:06 mark, assisted by freshman Tobias Winter.
In the 18th minute, Evans found the back of the net again, and Winter put BSC up 4-0 in the 22nd minute (with his first collegiate goal), courtesy of an assist from Crocker. Freshman Armann Gunnlaugsson also scored his first collegiate goal in the 38th minute, assisted by sophomore Brynjar Arnason, to give the Panthers a 5-0 lead at the half.
Evans scored his third goal in the 53rd minute, assisted by sophomore Brooks Busby, and Winter scored again in the 64th minute, assisted by Crocker, putting the Panthers up 7-0.
Sophomore defender Cory Gonzalez scored his first collegiate goal in the 82nd minute off an assist from Arnason, and junior defender Nathan Haywood also scored his first goal in the 83rd minute (also assisted by Arnason) to wrap up the scoring.
Sophomore Sveinbo Grimsson started in goal for BSC and played 51 minutes before being replaced by sophomore Alex Levinson, who played 29 minutes. Freshman Ian Rone came in for the remaining nine minutes.
Evans led the team with six of its 30 shots; Blackburn recorded only one shot in the game.
Earlier in the day, in game one of the Classic, Mississippi College defeated Sewanee on a penalty kick, 1-0, after a foul committed inside the box.
Action continues on Sunday as Sewanee takes on Blackburn at noon and BSC faces Mississippi College at 2:30 p.m., both at BSC Soccer Park.

In the latest round of atrocities committed by conservatives, Republicans on the House Agriculture Committee sent to the House floor a farm bill on Wednesday that offers little food for families while dishing out corporate subsides. In protest, organizational leaders and activist met with elected officials on Capitol Hill to demonstrate opposition to cutting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps).
The proposed $21 billion in cuts to SNAP would cause nearly 2 million low-income Americans—among them people with disabilities, children, seniors and struggling parents— to lose an average of $90 per month. The bill also axes funding for nutrition education and eliminates program performance bonuses.
A new report, set to be released in the "Social Service Review" next month, reveals that in 2011 an estimated 1.65 million families lived on less than $2 a day per person; this figure includes 3.55 million children. How do these individuals survive in America on a Third-World income? The report finds they rely on the social safety nets that caught millions as they were falling because of the recession. This is also the same net that deficit hawks seek to whittle away at. As the wealthiest and most powerful nation, it is downright dirty that we let anyone go hungry and fail to provide for those in need.
Benefits already average less than $1.50 a day for each meal. You try living on that (I have, it's called the Food Stamp Challenge). Although meager, SNAP is still our nation's first line of defense against hunger. Rep. Barbara Lee, (D-Calif.) professed that when she was a single mother, food stamps "were a bridge over troubled water while I was struggling."
Who will feel this funding void? "If divided evenly across Feeding America's national network of food banks, every food bank would have to provide an additional 4 million meals each year for the next ten years, and that is just not possible," said Bob Aiken, president and CEO of Feeding America. "There is no way that charity would be able to make up the difference. We are already stretched thin meeting sustained high need, and we simply do not have the resources to prevent hunger in all of the families who would be impacted by these cuts."
At a time when 50 million individuals are hungry, 17 million being children, "we should be talking about how we improve and expand SNAP," said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass. His view is not only supported by research, such as that of a recent Institute of Medicine report that finds the program needs to be strengthened, but also by the majority of Americans. Seven in 10 voters say that cutting food stamp funding is the wrong way to approach deficit reduction. The Alan Simpson-Erskine Bowles deficit commission didn't even recommend cutting SNAP to reduce the deficit. It is also important to note that just this week the CBO said the "deficit disaster" is now solved for the next 10 years.
Yet, Republicans continually ask our most vulnerable to pay while safeguarding corporations and bankers. "The pattern that is happening here is really diabolical." said the passionate Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. Although she is a representative of the nation's wealthiest state, one in seven children go to bed hungry in her district.
"If you think this is the right path, you don't live in the same America I do!" said Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio.
Aside from the moral imperative, the SNAP program helps our economy and is fiscally responsible. In 2011, SNAP lifted nearly 4 million Americans out of poverty, including 1.7 million children and 280,000 seniors. Economist at Moody's Analytics and the Department of Agriculture estimate that for every $1 spent on SNAP benefits, there is an economic return of $1.73 to $1.79. Inflicting more hunger on our nation worsens health, causing higher health cost that the taxpayer will have to pick up, and reduces our educational outcomes.
Feeding our nation while spurring our economy is a vision we all should be able to agree on. No one wants to live on welfare; people want jobs. Until our government can actually put in place policies that will produce jobs, the least we can do is make the wise investments in programs like SNAP, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to support the economic recovery and future success of financially struggling Americans.

Do Division Festival released its first wave of artists billed for this year's fest this week. So far, the list includes Le Butcherettes, Antlers, O'Death, Murder By Death, BBU and Mannequin Men.
The lineup channels local, national and even international talent. Garage punk outfit Le Butcherettes—whose debut LP "Sin Sin Sin" was produced by Mars Volta guitar god Omar Rodriguez-Lopez—hail from south of the Mexican border. Rap trio BBU and rockers Mannequin Men round out the current festival lineup as its local acts. However, with three days of live music to fill, expect further additions to the lineup in the coming weeks.
Do Division Street Fest and Sidwalk Sale happens June 1-3. Find it on Division St. between Damen and Ashland. There will be a $5 suggested donation. Visit the festival's website for more information.

Reasons That You May Need Hair Loss Treatment Services
In order to determine which method of hair replacement is best suited to your needs, it's important to first understand the origin of your balding or thinning hair:
Androgenic Alopecia
The most common type of hair loss in both men and women, androgenic alopecia is a genetic condition. Also known as female and male pattern baldness, androgenic alopecia accounts for 95% of hair loss cases in both men and women.
Female Pattern Baldness
Though millions of women suffer from advancing hair loss every year, it's an issue that many choose to ignore. The social stigma of hair loss leaves many women feeling ashamed and unwilling to seek hair replacement or restoration services. There are in fact numerous options for women to choose from.
Medically Related Hair Loss
In addition to those suffering from genetic hair loss, millions more will experience thinning or complete baldness as a result of medical treatments and complications.

Say "Hello" to my little friend!
The Creeper (Creepus explodus) is an all-terrain combustible terror of destruction, indigenous to dark caves found deep beneath the earth's crust, and luxurious neighborhoods with glass houses and nice fancy everythings. In this day of endless mining and crafting, we must arm ourselves with the power of knowledge to combat this force of mobile destruction who terrorizes our world. After all, that's a lovely collection of everything you have there, it would be a shame if ssSSssSSssomething were to happen to it.

A couple of weeks ago, Brian Ward had a great idea: instead of getting just one guest for our next podcast, why not line up all twenty of the hottest conservative women in new media, as selected in Right Wing News's annual contest? I was one of the judges for this year's competition, so the idea was a natural. Sure, there would be logistical problems fitting all twenty into a one-hour podcast, and some of them are really in demand, what with Fox News appearances and all. But still, it was a great concept.
And we had time for a Loon and a Twig, too.
You can listen to the podcast by playing it right here, or you can go to Ricochet to download or subscribe to the podcast in various ways, or you can hit the subscribe button in the graphic above to subscribe on iTunes or elsewhere. Or you can use Stitcher. There are many ways to experience the Hinderaker-Ward Experience!
But, hey, don't stop there! Now that we are being (slightly) compensated on a per-download basis by our sponsor Audible.com, please tell your friends about HWX. You can even give friends and family a free HWX subscription via iTunes; they will thank you for sure.

The seeds of the hostility and anger voiced over a proposed contract that hands over the maintenance of the Boulder Turnpike to a private firm that will also collect tolls on the highway were planted two decades ago.
Or it was in 2009, depending on your politics.
People do agree that public-private partnerships formed to build and manage Colorado roads are likely here to stay.
"The public will soon wake up that this is an expensive way to solve a problem," said Miller Hudson, a public affairs consultant and former executive director of the Colorado Intermountain Guideway Authority. "But it's the only tool in the toolbox available to Colorado right now."
The proposed contract with Plenary Roads Denver, a consortium of six companies with expertise in financing and construction, is for the completion of the second phase of the $425 million U.S. 36 Managed Lanes project. The company will also maintain the entire corridor, including snow and ice removal, until 2063.
This is the first public-private partnership in Colorado's history and also gives the firm maintenance responsibilities along Interstate 25 from U.S. 36 to downtown Denver.
The deal calls for Plenary Roads Denver — which has offices in Australia, Canada and Singapore — to collect all revenues from the toll lanes currently being built in each direction of the turnpike. Existing general-purpose lanes on the highway will be widened and will remain free for motorists.
The pact, which was released to the public on Friday, has drawn fire from residents along the corridor and some lawmakers, who see it as being full of pitfalls for taxpayers.
"Are we this cash-strapped that we hand over authority of our roadways to a private firm?" State Sen. Matt Jones, D-Louisville, asked last week during a joint session of the legislative transportation committee.
In a word, yes, say those who back the contract.
"Personally, I'm not altogether comfortable with a public-private partnership, but as a public official, I am able to live with it," said Will Toor, former Boulder mayor and Boulder County commissioner.
Toor was among those who spearheaded efforts to expand U.S. 36 to allow Bus Rapid Transit and other needed improvements on the highway, which began as a toll road in the 1950s.
Many politicians and policy experts point to the passage in 1992 of the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights
for starting public-private partnerships in Colorado.
TABOR, an amendment to the state constitution, prevents local and state governments from raising taxes without a vote of the taxpayers.
That essentially halted any more spending on public projects, including roads, said Hudson, who helped study the feasibility of a high-speed monorail between Denver and Eagle County Airport along Interstate 70.
"Placing the taxpayer's foot on the brake of government growth and runaway spending sounded like a grand idea," said Hudson, who recently wrote a guest column on the U.S. 36 controversy for the Colorado Statesman. "The reality have proven a slow strangulation of public services, which pleases the anti-government crowd."
To skirt TABOR and to boost funding for road projects, the Democratic-controlled legislature in 2009 passed FASTER, or the Funding Advancement for Surface Transportation and Economic Recovery Act. The measure hiked registration fees by about $40 a year for a typical vehicle, generating an estimated $250 million a year for road and bridge repairs.
The bill also created the High- Performance Transportation Enterprise to help pursue public-private partnerships for road projects.
HPTE already oversees the tolling of the I-25 Express Lanes which stretch along a roughly 7- mile section of I-25 between downtown Denver and U.S. 36.
But Republicans last week took shots at the HPTE program, saying it didn't include provisions that allowed public oversight of transportation projects.
"We tried to stop SBO9-108, known as FASTER, but the Democrats wouldn't listen," Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman said last week. "The legislation created unelected commissions and empowered them to secretly contract with private companies."
CDOT dutifully followed the orders crafted in the partisan bill, Cadman added. "But now the Democrats' secret is out, the public is displaying the same outrage that we exhibited when we tried to stop this legislation."
"I don't want to say 'I told you so,' " he said, "but … "
Democrats and proponents of the U.S. 36 contract agree the pact should have been available sooner. But the project itself, they say, is worthwhile, given today's fiscal restraints.
"In this era of declining revenues, (public-private partnerships) have been the only viable alternative for advancing many of the state's most important transportation projects," said Tony Milo, executive director of the Colorado Contractors Association. If not for public-private partnerships, "these critical and much-needed projects such as the U.S. 36 project, would not happen for many years into the future, if ever."

So, let's pay some attention to audio issues, shall we? Perhaps the biggest single key to getting good audio is to get the microphone up close to the sound source. This is why on-camera mics, even good-quality shotguns, aren't a particularly good solution-the best position for capturing the picture is almost always farther away from the subject than the best position for capturing the audio. We need to get the mic off the camera, and get it closer to the action.
But this introduces a complication: how to get the audio signal from the mic element to the camcorder? The purist would tell you that a balanced audio cable is the best way to do it, and from a technical standpoint, he'd be right. Cables are simple and inexpensive, and a balanced cable can carry a mic-level audio signal a long way without any noticeable degradation.
But for the wedding and event videographer, running microphone cables all over the place is often difficult. Moving a camera that's tethered to cables is even harder. And it's a good bet that the bride and officiant would object to a boom operator hovering next to the altar, dangling a mic on a long fishpole.
The real-world solution for most event videographers is a wireless solution. The most common wireless solution is the wireless microphone. This is a mic element, connected to a small radio transmitter. The transmitter sends a signal to a receiver mounted on the camcorder, and the signal is converted back to mic-level audio and sent to the camcorder's mic input. Transmitters are available as belt packs with tiny lavaliere mic elements (good for attaching to a groom's tux), or as a plug-on module for a handheld microphone (good for field interviews).
Receivers may have a "true diversity" feature. This type of receiver has two antennas, and two separate radio frequency sections. A circuit continually compares the signal strength of each receiver, and picks the strongest one. This reduces or eliminates the problem of signal dropouts caused by "multipath distortion," a phenomenon where two radio waves take slightly different paths from the transmitter to the receiver antenna and arrive out of phase, canceling each other out.
The better systems use the UHF band, and give the user the option to select from 32 or more channels. Multiple channels allow you to use two or more wireless mics without interference, and let you change channels to avoid interference with the house sound system or with other nearby radio users. Most good quality receivers use an XLR connection, so if your camcorder doesn't have XLR connectors, you'll also need an XLR adapter box. Good wireless systems for wedding and event work cost around $500 and up. Popular makes include Samson, Azden, Sennheiser, Sony, and Audio-Technica. Lectrosonics is the "industry standard" for corporate and broadcast video work, and Lectros are great for weddings too, if your budget can accommodate them.
For those on a tighter budget, there are perfectly acceptable alternatives to wireless mics. Small, pocket-sized MiniDisc recorders are one solution. They are about the same size as a wireless mic beltpack transmitter, and about half the cost. The audio quality of an MD recorder is even better than most camcorders! Be sure to buy one that has a microphone input jack, though; many models don't have this feature.
Recently, an even simpler alternative has come on the market: the solid state MP3 recorders from iRiver. These have no moving parts, they're even smaller than a wireless or a MiniDisc, and they're priced well under $200. The audio quality is quite acceptable for wedding and event work, although it might not satisfy an audio purist for music recording purposes.
Both the MiniDisc and the iRiver have a couple of drawbacks: you can't monitor the audio in your headphones during the shoot, so if anything goes wrong, you won't know about it until afterwards. Also, the recorded audio has to be dumped to your computer and synced up to the video, an extra step in the editing process. For these reasons, I like to use them as backups to my wireless mics, rather than as the primary audio sources. But there are videographers out there who are successfully using them as their only source of audio. At those kind of prices, there's no reason you can't buy a pocketful of little recorders, and put them at all the places you need to capture audio from: the groom's lapel, the reader's podium, the choir loft, the preacher's pulpit, and inside a flower arrangement at the altar.
Once you've got capturing clean monaural audio at all your events down to a fine art, it'll be time to tackle the next challenge: recording the audio in stereo and 5.1 surround sound!

Jones suggested the current U.S. administration has a plan in place "designed to reduce us (American population) to absolute serfdom."
Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) January 21, 2013
Alex Jones went on record with Stansberry Radio last week describing the heated interview between himself and CNN's Piers Morgan that took place earlier this month. The interview, where Jones bashed Morgan, calling him a "red coat" was spawned by a White House petition started by Jones to have Morgan deported because of his public criticism of U.S. gun laws and the second amendment. The petition received over 100,000 signatures. The CNN interview became a highly-publicized phenomenon, trending on Twitter for two days and acquiring over five million views on YouTube.
On Stansberry Radio, Jones and host, Porter Stansberry, engaged in a friendly, spirited discussion about the current political environment of the United States, gun control laws and what each calls the socialist agenda of the United States government. Jones, who is consistently known in the mainstream media as a conservative and right-wing conspiracy theorist, discussed his views of the Obama administration stating, "their whole system is about control – they are walking us into a situation where each new 'fix' is bringing us into being absolutely poor." Jones suggested the current U.S. administration has a plan in place "designed to reduce us (American population) to absolute serfdom." Stansberry agreed in theory, stating that "first they take our guns, then they take our money, then they take your property and then they take your life." Listen to the full interview here.
After the interview, Stansberry said he believes the outcome Jones predicts is highly unlikely - but worth listening to. "Even if he's remotely right, it would do you some good to position yourself for the likelihood….make a game plan for disaster happening… I don't think any of those things are very likely, but we should be prepared for civil unrest. It will pay to be prepared for unlikely outcomes."
Stansberry is widely known for his controversial political opinions and mostly recognized for his End of America documentary. He has recently released a theory detailing his ideas on how Barack Obama will be elected for a third term as United States President.
The Stansberry Radio Network is becoming a required stop for financial experts, economists, politicians and the media. The show has been host to a wide variety of prominent names, including Lauren Lyster, Jeff Macke and Dinesh D'Souza, who created the hit documentary 2016: Obama's America. Other guests have included Libertarian Presidential nominee Gary Johnson, MSNBC host Chris Hayes, former U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan, publisher Steve Forbes, and renowned investors Jim Rogers and Marc Faber.
Stansberry Radio Network segments can be accessed at http://www.stansberryradio.com.
Stansberry Radio with Porter Stansberry is a top three investing podcast on iTunes, having more than 80,000 downloads and listens per month. New episodes release every Thursday afternoon.
About Alex Jones
Internationally recognized veteran broadcaster, documentary filmmaker, and investigative journalist Alex Jones has been featured as a prominent figure of the 9/11 Truth Movement in such publications as The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone Magazine and Popular Mechanics. He has appeared on Good Morning America, The View, 20/20 Downtown, 60 Minutes, The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, Fox News, CNN, TalkSport (UK), Russia Today, Channel 4 (UK), A&E, America's most widely listened to late night radio show, Coast to Coast AM, C-Span, and many other venues. Patrick Beech of the Austin-American Statesman has described Jones as "an absolutely riveting television presence."
Jones' mission is to re-ignite the spirit of 1776 and stand as an example of the fact that one man can build a vocal media platform without the aid of big corporate news networks that only serve to compromise and dilute the core message of freedom and liberty.
Jones began his career in Austin, Texas, with a live, call-in format cable access television program. In 1996, he hosted a show dubbed The Final Edition on KJFK, and the following year he debuted his first documentary, America Destroyed By Design. In 1999, he tied with Shannon Burke of KJFK 98.9FM for that year's "Best Austin Talk Radio Host" poll as voted by The Austin Chronicle readers.

Dennis Rader aka The BTK Strangler
On January 15, 1974, the BTK Strangler struck for the first time, when he murdered four members of the Otero family. Six more victims, all female, followed, the last one in 1991. Throughout the 1970s, the BTK killer, or BTK strangler, as he was also known, sent letters to the media in which he claimed knowledge of the crimes.
Dennis Lynn Rader nicknamed himself BTK for his method of binding, torturing and killing his victims. Outwardly, Rader, a Cub Scout troop leader and church council president, appeared to be an ordinary, upstanding citizen. As a compliance officer, he was responsible for enforcing town ordinances. However, there were occasional complaints that he was overzealous in his work and harassed people for minor offenses. In 2004, the attention-seeking BTK killer began contacting the media again, sending notes and poems and packages that included some of his victims' jewelry and driver's licenses. In February 2005, Rader sent a floppy disk containing a BTK letter to a local TV station. The disk was eventually traced back to Rader's church computer and he was identified. DNA evidence helped conclusively link Rader to the crimes. Rader was charged with 10 counts of murder. He initially pled not guilty and then switched his plea to guilty before his court trial began. Rader, who stalked many of his victims and referred to them as "projects," said he strangled them as part of a sexual fantasy. In August 2005, he was sentenced to 10 consecutive life terms in prison. At his sentencing, Rader made a bizarre statement in which he listed things he had in common with his various victims, including an interest in drawing, gardening and writing poetry. Rader was ineligible for the death penalty because it didn't exist in Kansas during the years he carried out his crimes.

A review of Cyber Soldier Sharaku (japan-only CD-i game)
>> Thursday, January 1, 2009
Cyber Soldier Sharaku is a Japanese game presumadely made about an anime. Set in the town of Edo in the year 7000, its a world populated by intelligent humanoid-animals where the tradional ways and advanced technology coexist. Sharaku, the player's character, appears to be a mercenary known as a Cyber Soldier working for some sort of organization trying to save the world. Your boss gives you a mission where you must go to Edo and to defeat Syzar and his henchmen: Junk and Nara.
It's a point and click adventure and a very limited and linear one at that. There is no graphical user interface and during the game you have very few options of what to do. Basically if what you're doing doesn't advance you in the game than you would of already seen it. The game-style is similar to "Kingdom: The Far Reaches" except that instead of choosing your location on the map you make your way around by choosing direction. What you can interact with while exploring is basically limited to talking with NPCs but on a couple occasions you can interact with items. There are also boss battles where you have multiple attacks to choose from by clicking on a specific area of the bosses' body. Basically to beat a boss you must select the correct attack using the information you see on the computer at the very beginning. However if you select the wrong attack the player won't be killed so you can always win by trial and error if you don't know where to hit.
Despite the games crippling limitations and that it's entirely in Japanese, the hour or so that it takes to complete is actually quite entertaining. The unenventful talking parts are regularly interspersed by a cutscene such as an action sequence. So there is usually something interesting happening in the story, you never spend too long talking before you can advance or a cutscene occurs. At the beginning of the game, before you aquire your weapon (a pole), there is an action sequence where a couple guys try to start trouble in a restaraunt. One of them uppercuts a bystander and than throws a punch Sharaku, who grabs his fist and twists his arm around disabling the attacker. Not long after that there is a fairly long cutscene when you find your main ally - Naigan. She takes you a laboratory of some sort where she gives you high tech glasses capable of identifying the tyrant. The player automatically uses those glasses at the performances in the town in order to find Syzar.
The boss battles are definitely the best parts of the game, the anime-style action sequences and the inclusion of blood make them quite entertaining. Also the multiple choices of attacks during the battles means they are the most interactive part of the game. During the first battle with Junk you must cripple his arm because he blocks your attacks with his claw. Once he can't use his arm than he can be easily hit in a vulnerable spot and defeated. The battle with Zara is the worst one, you only have 1 second to be able to move the cursor and click before being hit by a fireball. This can get quite annoying as it might take a long time before you are able to hit the right spot. A doppleganger of the boss will appear and you must decide which is the real one before attacking and killing her. By far the most spectacular battle is the one at the end with Syzar. The character fails with his first attacks to do any damage and the boss retaliates by smashing him through a wall. Then the battle takes to the roof of a tall pagoda where they fight in true anime style: flying into the air, throwing energy balls and surviving massive explosions.
In conclusion the game is an interesting one that is definitely worthy of a playthrough. However it loses its entertainment value very quickly because it is so linear. Therefore you should treat it as a curiosity, if you play it expecting decent gameplay than you will be dissapointed. Because it's one of the few games developed in and exclusive to Japan that makes it one very interesting CD-i obscurity!
