Anyone like Killer Mike?
Killer Mike's releasing a new album and I have to say it sounds like it is going to be pretty dope. He's got a lot of hot artists appearing on it and "Imma Fool Wit It" is a dope new track. What do y'all think of Killer Mike and have you heard the single?
His song 'That's Life' is incredible.
Just, like, a really powerful song.
I haven't heard the new stuff, but I will seek it out.

Android :: Contacts And Google Calendar Syncing On My DroidDec 17, 2009
So, I have been playing around with contacts and google calendar syncing on my Droid, and I love it. I also know that it uses a very small amount of battery.
Looking at Spare Parts and the battery information, google uses MAYBE a minute a day for syncing, which is absolutely nothing.
Anyways, anyone know how often it syncs? Seems to be every 12-24 hours.

Major Field Requirements (link to calendar)
The University of Calgary has a top-down, competitive admission process. Each year a fixed number of students are admitted to the Psychology Major based on their high school matriculation average in the case of frosh applicants, or their grade point average in the case of transfer students. There is no guaranteed admission average.
Already have a bachelor's degree in another discipline? If so, please see our After-Degree Program page.
Check the University of Calgary Admissions web site for further details on admission requirements. Note that admissions are handled by the Admissions Office, not the Department of Psychology.
In the case of first year applicants (applicants who are coming directly to the University from high school, or those with only a high school background), high school matriculation average will be used.
In the case of transfer students (applicants who are currently post-secondary students or have previously attended a post-secondary institution, including the University of Calgary), grade point average and possibly high school matriculations average will be used. Please consult A.2 "Admission Requirements" found under the Undergraduate Admissions section of the University Calendar for details.
Matriculation Subjects
All applicants must present English Language Arts 30-1 and four other Alberta Grade 12 subjects (or equivalents). The admissions average is calculated across these five subjects.
Note: Although Math 30-1 is no longer required for admission to Psychology, it is nevertheless a prerequisite for a number of required Science Foundation courses and PSYC 312. (PSYC 312 is a required course taken in second year which is a prerequisite for all senior 400-level PSYC courses). Therefore, to insure degree completion within four years, it is essential that all BSc Psychology Majors without Math 30-1 meet this requirement as soon as possible. Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page for more details.
For a listing of acceptable courses and complete admissions requirements, please refer to the University of Calgary Admissions web site. In addition, students are strongly advised to consult the following sections of the University Calendar:
- Undergraduate Admissions
- Faculty of Arts (see the "Faculty Regulations" section)
For the B.Sc. program in Psychology, Math 30-1, Biology 30 and Chemistry 30 or equivalent are required for the following Science Foundation courses taken while in first year*:
Science Foundation Courses: Prerequisites: BIOL 241 and 243 Biology 30 CHEM 201 or 211 AND CHEM 203 or 213 Chemistry 30, Math 30-1.
(Math 31 is strongly recommended)
MATH 249 or MATH 265 or MATH 281 Minimum requirement is Math 30-1 with a 70% grade. Some of these options have additional and/or higher grade requirements* One of MATH 211, 213, 253, 267 PHYS 211 or 221 or 227
Phys 211 requires PM 30.
(Physics 30 is recommended)
Phys 221 requires PM 30 with a grade of 70% or higher and 50% or higher in Math 31.
* Complete course listings along with prerequisite information for all courses at UofC can be found under the "Courses of Instruction" link in the table of contents of the University Calendar.
Please note: Applied Mathematics 30 is not an acceptable substitute for Math 30-1 or equivalent.
A matriculated adult student is a high school graduate who is over the age of 21. Applicants who have completed university entrance requirements (matriculation) more than ten years ago may not have adequate prerequisites for certain courses. If this applies to you, contact the Faculty of Arts at:
Arts Students' Center
Social Sciences 102
Phone : (403) 220-3580
Email : firstname.lastname@example.com
Click here for a campus map.
If you have a bachelor's degree in a discipline other than psychology, you may want to consider completing an After-Degree in Psychology. Students with a Psychology minor but with a major in another discipline are eligible to apply. After-Degree students may complete an Honours degree.
An individual assessment is completed for every student applying for admission to an After-Degree Program. This is needed to determine the number of full course equivalencies which may be transferred and applied towards the second degree.
Please refer to our After-Degree Program page for additional information.
In order to apply to the Psychology program, you must apply to the University of Calgary. See the University of Calgary's admission webpages for application information and associated deadlines. For all applicants: Select Psychology as your first choice when selecting a program. It is always a good idea to select second alternate choice in the event that you are not accepted to our program.
Fill out the On-line Application Form linked from the University of Calgary's web site. (Please note that the application form is available from mid-November until the application deadline for application to the following Fall Term closes.)
For more information, please visit the University of Calgary Admissions web site or call the Admissions office directly (403) 210-7625. You can also drop-in to speak with an admissions officer in person:

Volume 15, Issue 22
October 5, 2016
In May the Department of Labor (DOL) published its revisions to the federal overtime regulations that govern certain executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees. These revisions become effective on December 1, 2016.
As you may remember, the minimum salary necessary to qualify for the white-collar and highly compensated overtime exemptions has substantially increased. As a result, many employers likely have employees presently classified as exempt who, on December 1, are no longer exempt from overtime. Changing these employees' classifications and/or otherwise coming into compliance with the revised regulations can be a complicated process that requires forethought and preparation.
We encourage all Nevada employers to carefully consider this issue now as it is not likely that the rules' effective date will be postponed. While the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill in late September to delay the effective date of the DOL's new rules, there is no time frame established for the Senate to consider this bill. Even if the Senate were to pass the bill, the White House has issued a Statement of Administrative Policy that declares President Obama's intention to veto it. Moreover, it is too early to determine whether a Texas lawsuit filed against the DOL will be effective in impacting the rules.
We are prepared to assist you with this important issue.
KZA Employer Report articles are for general information only; they are not intended and should not be construed to be legal advice. Reading or replying to such articles does not establish an attorney-client relationship. In addition, because the subject matters and applicable laws discussed in Employer Report articles are often in a state of change and not always applicable to every type of business entity or organization, readers should consult with counsel before making decisions based on the same.

I'm so disappointed. I've been working for the last few hours to try to get myself into Second Life, but it's just not working. Apparently you can't run this game if you have a graphics card from Intel, which I do. Of course, I only figured this out after spending an eternity wandering through Intel's web site looking for an updated driver because the error message in SL said that my Intel driver was out of date and I needed to update it. They didn't say anything about "updating" it to a completely different company until I got to the tech support wiki.
I was so psyched. I'd have been named Pegasus Ingraham. Just roles off the tongue, doesn't it? But now I have to stay with my feet firmly planted in this life. I guess it could be worse… What if I had the wrong graphics card for this life?!?
Have fun trying new things, all you with better computers than mine. I'll be watching out for all the patrons of my current life while you meet and greet in that tantalizing space from which I am barred.

POPULAR Spanish bloggers La Casaca have produced some quirky new international third strips based on national symbols - including a tartan kit for Scotland.
The striking strip would certainly appeal to the colourful Tartan Army if the SFA ever decide to introduce it into their product line.
Taking inspiration from the history and culture of different countries, La Casaca revealed some more extravagent kits.
The blog revealed a coffee bean design for a potential Colombia strip and the spooky Day of The Dead celebrations in Mexico led to a large Day-Glo skull being placed on their alternative national strip.
Take a look at some more of their striking creations with our gallery below.

iPhone 'Bendgate' May Be Overblown: Consumer Reports
'Bendgate' may be a bit overblown.
Consumer Reports ran lab tests on the two new iPhone models, and found that it is difficult to bend the devices under pressure. Apple said on Thursday that only nine customers' iPhones have bent.
To test the strength of the hardware, the consumer watchdog placed the phone on two wooden points, then applied force on top with a high-precision compression machine. While the iPhone 6 and the larger iPhone 6 Plus bent under less pressure than did the iPhone 5, the Apple phones were not the weakest: The HTC One deformed and separated from its case under less pressure than the other phones tested.
'Impressively, despite some serious damage from our Instron machine, some of the phone continued to work,' Consumer Reports wrote in a post on Friday. 'Several of the screens illuminated and were functional to the touch; we even completed a call from one phone to another.'
Apple this week scrambled to rebut the fallout of a video that went viral showing a bent iPhone 6. On Thursday, the infamously tight-lipped company sent an unusually long statement to The Huffington Post explaining that the bend is 'extremely rare.'
Still, coupled with the botched rollout of a glitchy update to the iOS 8 operating system, Apple had a rough week. The company's stock rebounded on Friday after taking a hit from the dual snafus.

(Source: Legacy.com) – "Michael Mantenuto, a former actor and college hockey player who played Jack O'Callahan in the 2004 Disney film "Miracle," died Monday, April 24, 2017. He was 35.
The death was announced in a news release by Col. Guillaume "Will" Beaurpere, the group commander of the U.S. Army's 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne). Mantenuto joined the military after his acting career ended.
The release said Mantenuto was found dead in Iowa by the Des Moines Police Department."
Such terrible news. A young life, a father, gone way to soon. Tragic.
Not only did Mantenuto do an incredible job with his role as Jack O'Callahan in the movie "Miracle" but he was also a good hockey player, playing 14 games for the University of Maine as a freshman before moving onto UMass-Boston. I actually played against Mantenuto quite a bit in the EJHL the year he committed to Maine when he was then with the Walpole Junior Stars.
But the best hockey story about Mantenuto wasn't even in a real game. It was during a hockey audition, and how he got the role of Jack O'Callahan:
As written on IMDB.com: "Mantenuto got into a fight on the ice with another player who picked on him and other guys during the tryouts for "Miracle". He apologized to director Gavin O'Connor afterwards, to which Gavin responded, "No, that was good," and cast him as Jack O'Callahan, the defenseman dubbed "the first one to drop his gloves."
And just like that he became a huge part of probably the best hockey movie ever made, leaving us all a great lasting performance to remember.
Rest easy, Mike.
Follow us on Twitter @BostonPucks and let's talk hockey.

Here at Touchwood, we hold workshops that are specially designed for you and your loved ones to bond and spend quality time while picking up a few handy skills!
Started as volunteers, the current team of Carpenters pick up the woodworking skills along the way. We took on customized projects to challenge ourselves so that we can improve our skills in order to teach.
What we hope to pass on is not only woodworking skills but the"can-do" spirit that our forefathers had in establishing the foundation for Singapore.

My Woody Friend workshop brought back memories of my late grandfather and I tinkering, building toys and repairing his chicken shed with his hand tools. This workshop was the closest thing to such an experience I can give to my son, Timmy. I'm sure Ah Gong would be beaming with pride if he can just see what we made!
Touchwood is a hidden gem in Singapore's concrete jungle. Any parent who understands the importance of passing on values to their children such as a can-do attitude, problem-solving, tinkering, creative thinking and innovating will appreciate the unique opportunities that a place like Touchwood offers. It was lots of fun hanging out here.

| 11.2°C Dublin
Andre Villas-Boas says Tottenham may struggle to hold on to Gareth Bale after watching the Welsh winger end Liverpool's eight-match unbeaten run in fine style last night.
Bale ran 50 yards and beat four Liverpool players before setting up Aaron Lennon for Tottenham's first and then beat Pepe Reina with a brilliant 30-yard free-kick to double the hosts' lead.
The fact that Bale signed a new contract last summer has not stopped Barcelona and Real Madrid being heavily linked with the 23-year-old, and Villas-Boas admits he may be powerless to stop the winger leaving.
"At the moment he is performing extremely well for Spurs and we are amazed at what he can do for us. He is on to a great career," Villas-Boas said.
"Obviously Tottenham as a football club want to keep him here for as long as we can but we understand players like this have propositions and a market, which is the nature of the game."
Should either of the Spanish giants have had scouts at last night's game at White Hart Lane, they will have been impressed with Bale's outstanding performance.
His pace, creativity and finishing were sublime throughout the game - with the only negative point coming in the second half when he got in the way of Lennon's clearance, which struck his head and went in to his own net.
Liverpool feel they should have taken something from the match, however. Manager Brendan Rodgers was infuriated at referee Phil Dowd for not awarding Liverpool two penalties - one for a foul on Steven Gerrard by Mousa Dembele, and the other when William Gallas took out Luis Suarez in the dying minutes.
Rodgers earlier this season complained that his team were not getting enough decisions from officials, and he was deeply unhappy tonight that Dowd awarded the free-kick that led to Bale's goal when Clint Dempsey went down under the slightest of touches from Jordan Henderson.
"Nothing is going for us away from home, that's how it's been all season in terms of decisions," Rodgers said in his post-match press conference.
"Clint Dempsey has been clever (with the free-kick)
"He gets a hand in back and goes down. We should have had two [penalties tonight]. It's incredible to have gone through the season without getting a penalty. "The Steven Gerrard one was nearly assault. How is that not a penalty?
"Watch the second one. Luis Suarez spins, William Gallas swings his left foot, catches him and he goes down.
"The statistics will tell you that we've been in the box as much as anyone, but to arrive at this stage of season and not get a penalty..."

Take a Hike: Three Stunning Walking Tours Available for Your Next Trek
Destination & Tourism James Ruggia February 17, 2014

Rambling the Ancient Trails of Scotland
Virginia-based English Lakeland Ramblers promises to take hikers far from those maddening crowds this year on its treks of Scotland's Highlands and Islands. The treks hike low roads, high roads and ancient trails where walkers walk through fields of wildflowers. In 2014
Ramblers is offering two distinct Scottish itineraries — "Scotland's Western Highlands and the Isle of Skye" and "Scotland: Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides."
To the scenery of lochs and moors, the tours add a couple of Scottish castles – Dunvegan on Skye and Eilean Donan in Loch Duich. The Ramblers' tour includes 29 to 35 miles of walks in seven days, with an occasional hike to 1,000 feet. The guides are fully certified and experienced experts at creating a sense of camaraderie within each group of like-minded travelers. Each day ends in a comfortable hotel with a menu featuring Scottish specialties and a bar with a selection of Scotland's finest single malts.
Complete tours begin at $3,275 for seven nights using country inns and hotels (all with private bathrooms), all meals (pub lunches or packed lunches on hikes), transfers and luggage transfers from hotel to hotel, local taxes, guides and assistants throughout. English Lakeland Ramblers also offers guided walking tours of the Lake District and Wales.
On Foot Holidays Wanders Through Turkey's Lost Kingdoms
The Mediterranean Coast of Turkey is littered with the ruins of many ancient kingdoms that have gone silent and become part of one of Europe's most beautiful landscapes. On Foot Holidays, a specialist in self-guided walking tours, has assembled a seven-night exploration of one of ancient Europe's most stimulating lost kingdoms. The Lycian Way in Turkey features hiking along the Turquoise Coast passing pristine coastal scenery and exploring archeological sites. The medium-hard route requires six and-a-half to eight hours of walking per day.
The trek visits such archaeological sites as Phaselis and Olympus, Antalya old town and several secluded and remote Mediterranean beaches. The trek was designed by botanist and Middle Eastern history student Kate Clow. Under her touch, the changing landscapes include plenty of historical sites complemented by abundant wild flowers as well as local villages.
The food is an important part of the tour, and clients will have the opportunity to sample authentic Turkish cuisine. The best months are April, May, September and October; however it is also available in March, June, August and November. Rates per person sharing are from $1,056 and include accommodation, breakfast daily, two evening meals, three picnics, detailed itinerary, supporting material and luggage transfers.
On Foot is also offering a seven-night journey to the Italian Dolomites. The tour departs in July, August or September. The Dolomites hike is medium to difficult with three to six hours of walking per day.
The Dolomites, famous for vertical and pale-colored peaks, are among the most visually stunning mountains in the world. The tour passes through the South Tyrol and ends in Cortina. Hikers will experience the cuisines of both the German and the Italian Alps. Rates for seven nights per person sharing are from $1,400 for the early July holidays and include accommodation, breakfast daily, six evening meals, detailed itinerary, and supporting material and luggage transfers.
On Foot is also offering a seven-night journey through Austria that rambles from Lake Constance to Damüls via the Bregenzerwald, including Bregenz, Lingenau, Schwarzenberg, Bezau, Schönenbach, and Mellau. This tour is of medium difficulty with four to five-and-a-half hours of walking per day. Rates for seven nights per person sharing are from $1,246 and include accommodation, breakfast daily, six traditional evening meals made of locally produced food, detailed itinerary and supporting material and luggage transfers. The tour is only available from June to September.
Heli-Hiking Through New Zealand's Middle Earth
When Peter Jackson wanted dramatic aerial footage for his film "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," he contacted Heliworks Queenstown Helicopters. Now Heliworks and Alpine Adventures have teamed up to offer a heli-hike tour from Queenstown, New Zealand to Middle Earth. The 'Middle Earth' tour explores the Earnslaw Burn area, to which only the two operators have access. The new Middle Earth Waterfalls heli-hike offers exclusive access to one of the most dramatic locations featured in the blockbuster movie,
The tour is led by Alpine Adventures' Head Guide Mark Dewsbery, who also assisted Jackson.
"When you combine our exclusive access into this amazing location with one of the most interesting hiking guides around, this really is an adventure to remember," said Heliworks' Sales and Business Development Manager Joey Glass.
Dewsbery is said to have garnered an encyclopedic knowledge of New Zealand's native flora and fauna during 26 years of high-country farming and exploring the backcountry on foot and skis.
Dewsbery ran a lodge at Mt. Potts, his high-country farm in Canterbury. The farm was used as a key location for the "Lord of the Rings" movies and it was there that Jackson and crew spent 14 months building and filming the elaborate set of Edoras, the fortress of the people of Rohan, which still draws film fans more than a decade on. This full-day tour is recommended only for very experienced hikers.

Eventual CTO Will Sit on Obama's Domestic Policy Council
BY Nancy Scola | Thursday, February 19 2009
There are two bits of particular interest in this piece from Politico's Josh Gerstein. The first has to do with the ongoing question of whether WhiteHouse.gov will serve as the "paper of record," if you will, on what the Executive Branch is up to. Gerstein discovered that a handful of documents -- "three executive orders, one presidential memorandum, one presidential notice, and one proclamation" -- were published in the Federal Register without popping up on the White House site first. The White House attributed the missing documents to "simple oversight."
The Sunlight Foundation's Paul Blumenthal caught the second. In a February 5th executive order, the as-yet-nameless-and-faceless federal CTO got bumped to the Domestic Policy Council:
(c) striking "(x) AIDS Policy Coordinator; and" and inserting in lieu thereof "(x) Assistant to the President and Chief Technology Officer;";
The move is a bit of the coup for the incoming CTO, provided one is ever named. The DPC is serves as something of the President's personal think tank. And the appointment might also point to the fact the fact that the CTO might perhaps have a policy portfolio that's not limited to inward-looking challenges like e-government and federal IT infrastructure.

Here is a list, from over on the What's Next: Top Trends blog. If you head over to the post you can see the items in a list. So soon we won't be needing to vacuum – excellent news. No need for intimacy or retirement. We will be working until we drop! In come memory implants (that'd be handy), pay by fingerprint – seeing as I've just become a mobile banking fan this would be awesome, as for pollution absorbing clothes I'm pretty sure my kids had that sorted a few years ago. Anyway jesting aside it is interesting to see what the geek folk think we have heading our way, and indeed what is being relegated to the pasta.

The Horizon Report 2012
Posted by Bridget Schaumann in Professional development, Tools on March 1, 2012
It's out. One of the reports worth paying attention to.
The New Media Consortium (NMC) and EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) jointly released the NMC Horizon Report: 2012 Higher Education Edition. This ninth edition describes annual findings from the NMC Horizon Project, a decade-long research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have an impact on learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in higher education. Six emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning.
This one, and the Core Trends in Education would be great to share with your staff and SMTs. Even if your school isn't adopting mobile technology or Game Based Learning yet, you can bet that at least some of your staff will be paying attention. Link to the report here.

Expect larger than normal crowds this summer in Banff, an already tourist-stuffed resort town within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. (Photo: Calgary Reviews/flickr)
You can call it the Iceland syndrome.
It's what happens when you live somewhere so overstuffed with staggering natural beauty that you feel compelled to share it with the world. This is understandable — after all, there are enough stunning waterfalls, scenic vistas and otherworldly lava fields to go around for everyone, right?
And so they come. And they don't stop. Idling tour buses line rural highways; hiking trails become overrun; trampling, trespassing and straight-out disrespectful behavior becomes a major problem. The ultra-dramatic natural landscapes that you once held so sacred — and had no qualms with showing off — become a liability, an encumbrance. The tourism economy is booming — hotels, restaurants, rental car agencies and kitsch-hawking souvenir shops certainly aren't complaining — but at what cost?
This isn't to say that Canada — a preternatural beauty in her own right — is heading in the same direction as Iceland anytime soon. For one, it's just a wee bit bigger — roughly 3,760,000 square miles larger than the once-sleepy Nordic island nation that many consider "ruined" by a certain HBO fantasy series. There's no ruining Canada.
But this doesn't mean that Canadian conservationists and wildlife experts aren't concerned about the summer ahead, a summer in which all 39 of the country's national parks (along with national historic sites and national marine conservation areas) will be open to the public — foreign tourists, included — for free in celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary.
Wait … free admission to national parks during Canada's sesquicentennial? That's fantastic! Alberta, here we come!
Or maybe hold that thought — or at least proceed with care.
It's not that conservationists are discouraging visitors from frequenting Parks Canada's finest protected natural spaces altogether. However, they are imploring park-goers — this includes the carloads of American tourists heading north of the border due in part to the favorable exchange rate — to tread carefully and be mindful of the toll that record-busting visitor numbers can have on wildlife and fragile natural ecosystems.
A recent article published by AFP spells out the top concerns: "… while the expected influx will be a boon to the tourism industry, increased traffic also means more reckless behavior by visitors — approaching or feeding wild animals, stomping on flora, and littering along park roadways."
Anne-Marie Syslak, executive director of the Alberta chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), is one such conservationist who is fretting about the unusually busy months ahead.
She largely faults Parks Canada, claiming that officials, buoyed by $300 million in additional governmental funding over the next two years, have placed a disproportionate amount of energy on promoting the parks. With commercial interests taking precedent, protecting the parks, particularly during an abnormally busy summer season in which more than a few hapless souls are likely to walk where they're not supposed to walk and experience unfortunate/preventable run-ins with bears, has fallen to the wayside.
"By law, Parks Canada... actually have to put nature first and they haven't been," Syslak tells AFP. "Too many people too fast without conservation as the priority — it's a real risk for these parks."
Certainly not lacking in the natural beauty department, Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia is generally less congested than some of its more famous Parks Canada-managed counterparts. (Photo: Dennis Jarvis/flickr)
Chasing tourism dollars to fund conservation efforts: A double-edged sword
Greg Danchuck is a tourism manager with Parks Canada who oversees Banff National Park, which is located high in the Canadian Rockies and is Canada's oldest, most beloved and also most tourist-stuffed national park. He acknowledges the busy summer ahead while offering reassurance that conservation efforts have not become any less of a priority as a result.
"We have a responsibility to do both, to preserve nature and provide opportunities for people to visit," says Danchuk, noting that campsite reservations at Banff have more than doubled compared to the same time last year.
"Tourism and conservation should lie hand in hand because people are coming to these areas for their natural beauty and wildlife," argues Syslask. "We also have a responsibility to be stewards of these lands so that we have these animals and we keep these places in a good state for the future."
Edward Johnson, an ecology professor at the University of Calgary, notes the complexity of drawing people to far-flung national parks while bolstering conservation efforts at the same time. Parks need those tourism dollars to support conservation, even if those tourism dollars also might be indirectly working against conservation.
"The more people who want to come out and see natural areas, the more likely you're able to preserve more natural areas. It's a double-edged sword," he says.
In an article published by the Toronto Star in January, retired nature guide and author Ben Gadd mentions an uptick in vehicular traffic as being a specific concern as the summer nears: "Clearly the highway system in the mountain parks — it is going to be terrible next summer, all summer long," says Gadd. "When you have that situation and animals trying to cross there are going to be more accidents, more animals killed."
To keep on top of potential traffic issues, Parks Canada spokesperson Ed Jager tells the Star that the organization is tracking online orders of free park passes to glean a better sense of which specific parks may experience additional congestion. Jager also notes that the number of maintenance and cleanup personnel has been increased in preparation for larger crowds.
"We can't actually love our parks to death — I think the death of our parks is when nobody wants to come to them and when they don't care about them anymore," Jager says. "We would much rather be in this place than in a place where nobody is showing up."
For those still intent on showing up to Canada's national parks during the sesquicentennial, crowds be damned, the Guardian has a solid list of lesser-known Parks Canada-managed gems that should (no guarantees, obviously) be slightly more free-ish of the selfie stick-wielding masses this summer. Grasslands National Park, home to one of Canada's largest and darkest dark sky preserves, in Saskatchewan; Alberta's Waterton Lakes National Park, a rugged Rocky Mountain getaway that's generally less trafficked than neighboring Banff and Jasper National Parks; and Nova Scotia's majestic Cape Breton Highlands National Park all make the cut.
And for those who really want to avoid the crowds while admiring Canada's natural splendor, there's always Auyuittuq National Park, a remote former preserve that showcases the vast Arctic wilderness of Nunavut, Canada's newest, largest and northernmost territory.

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee strongly asserted Sunday that the National Security Agency is not recording Americans' phone calls under U.S. surveillance programs, and any statements suggesting differently amount to "misinformation."
Lining up with Obama administration officials—and the president himself—Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Michigan, said the NSA "is not listening to Americans' phone calls," nor monitoring their emails.
"If it did, it is illegal. It is breaking the law," Rogers said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I think (Americans) think there's this mass surveillance of what you're saying on your phone call and what you're typing in your emails. That is just not happening."
Read the full story on CNN's Political Ticker.
Wink wink say no more...say no more.
I thought all the conservative crowd loved the "Patriot" Act. That's the act that made all this legal. Also, if you have watched a crime show on TV, you will know that police have been "dumping phone records" since at least the '90's. Also remember that the info gathered was already held by corporations. I'd rather it be used to track terrorists/criminals than to customize advertising to sell me junk I don't want.
Boy who cried wolf?
How can we ever believe anything said by a person and organization built around the very concept of subterfuge?
I'm pretty sure the NSA isn't out to get the people complaining about the wars or politics, or arguing sports, or having an affair, or complaining about their boss or congressman or President, etc.... This is getting so blown out of proportion... right now Google (or whatever... pick one) monitors your e-mails and uses the information to try and sell you golf clubs or whatnot. This is NOT a massive governamental project to round up the 'dissidents' and place them in 'FEMA camps' guarded by 'Black Helicopters'... and it it is... none of you clowns on here complaining about are doing a d a m n thing to stop it by posting whines. Get real, people.
Don't blame Rogers,he's only doing what the Bush,Cheney laws have him say..And gripe too loud people because Bushs monster in the PatriotAct,Homeland security will be out to get yah...Just something else I was against in Bushs policies after 9/11 and I was told by you republicans how unpatriotic,unamerican I was and told to leave if I didn't like it..Now republicans the shoes on the other foot and if you don't like it again as I was told leave as well..Republicans your pathedic president in Bush the imbecile created it with Cheney the heartless one so quit being so supposidly patriotic and fix another one of your presidents debacles ,its your votes that put him there so act American and fix up your messes we democrates are always getting stuck with ..Maybe after fixing a few of his and your catastrophes you might vote differently next time!!
Watch PBS NOVA special "The Spy Factory" . In the latter half of the program, it shows how Global Communications are copy/pasted including all voice traffic and internet traffic. The program details exactly how we are being lied to.
It's on Watch it Now on NETFLIX.
Does this or any politician actual think we believe anything our government says?
Our elected officials have become the biggest threat to our freedoms, liberties and our way of life.
Right or left, it makes no difference, our government is no longer a government of the people and is now a government of the self-serving politicians who can care less about "We The People".
Thank you, Laughable Joke. You said it all!
Yeah, right, sure. We believe you
now that he gave up the brits as well, we can go ahead and blow his brains out all over the morning newspapers and their will be plausable deniability
The NSA is welcome to track all the telemarketers that call me daily!
I hear that!
Im not going to worry about it. If it was kept secret I wouldn't have known. Just as long as it doesn't get out of control let them use it to catch the monsters out there. Its not going to go away because we complain about it.
Metadata has an enormous amount of information and perhaps more than a phone call. Right to privacy? A joke in this country.
Please stop talking about things you have no clue about, stop with the misinformation. That's like saying a books index has more information than the chapters or sections it references.
Talk about misinformation, Kyle, what do you think that this clown Mike Rogers is trying to do to us? Only a fool would believe this joker!
One would one expect this bozo Mile Rogers to say? Of course NSA is trying to ferret out people like us who don't all these obscene wars that we're in and listening to peoples' conversations is one way of doing it! It would be quite nice if they would use this method to bust C hild P ornograpers but they won't!

Of the summer holiday weekends, the Fourth of July weekend was the most popular date to make a trip in 2016. Another popular holiday Americans travel is memorial day. In 2016, 38.1 million people traveled 50 miles or more over the holiday weekend. The cheapest hotel rates for this period could be found in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the average daily rate (ADR) was only 85.23 U.S. dollars.
In 2015, the most popular type of camping trip in North America was a weekend getaway, this outranked family vacations, visiting friends and family and reunion or group events. Weekend travel was also a favorite of family travelers in 2015, with more families having taken a weekend getaway in the past than a trip to see a relative or to visit museums or cultural attractions.

Postgame: UVA coach Tony Bennett, players talk big win over Grambling State
UVA coach Tony Bennett and players Darius Thompson and Kyle Guy talk with reporters after the Cavs' 90-34 win over Grambling State.
Tony Bennett
On overall performance: "We will be as ready as we can. Tonight, it was really good to see Jeff (Jones), Trevon (Gross), and Justice (Bartley). There are guys who work hard in practice to prepare our guys to get that many minutes and that many shots. I was really thankful for that. You prepare to the best of your ability and you practice hard. In tonight's game, Grambling struggled to shoot and I think our defensive system really bottled them up. Also with Kyle's (Guy) shooting, the game got away from them. We play Iowa next and it won't be enough to play a 20-minute game. We are going to have to play the majority of a 40-minute game to have a chance."
On Kyle Guy's performance: "I think Kyle (Guy) had a lot of clean looks. He also has a really quick release and is lively on the floor. And that's a threat – it opens things up. I think that as he keeps improving in all parts of his game, his shot will be a weapon and teams are going to have to account for it. We are going to try and get him good looks. I'm sure he is going to be tracked a little closer after people start looking at his shooting game so far."
On the team's defense: "We were really in the gaps. They are going to have to make some contested shots over the top – that is the goal of our defense all the time. It is one thing we have been working really hard on and it has showed over the last games we've played. We've been a little tighter and sounder with our positioning because we need to be. We don't always have a player who can completely lock someone up on the perimeter – though we're not bad. When we do have a breakdown, we've had some nice shot blocks. As the competition continues to step up, that will be tested. But being set in transition defense and really tied tight together is the staple of our defense."
On the offense: "We had guys get in the rhythm of shots. The basket was big and we had pretty clean looks. We also got some offensive rebounds and points off turnovers. You take what the defense gives you and I don't think we were trying to force anything. We were unselfish moving the ball and getting guys open."
On new lineups: "We've had four games in seven days so we didn't play anybody heavy minutes. We tried to get experience for Mamadi (Diakite) and some of the young guys. There are just different teams you play which match up at the four spots. Whether its Isaiah (Wilkins), Mamadi (Diakite), or Jarred (Reuter) – those are the guys who will be testing if our forwards can guard a four-guard offense. We'll also look at what we are doing offensively. There will be games where we can experiment with that. The evenly distributed minutes are good for the guys who don't play a lot to get in there."
Guard Darius Thompson
On more consistent minutes: "I would definitely say we're more comfortable. Throughout last year, Marial Shayok and I both had times where we were starting and we both had games where we hardly played. Being out there now and getting a lot more minutes just feels a lot better. We're just going out there and trying to play with a lot more confidence every night."
On evolution of the offense from last year: "This year compared to last year, its different. We don't sit back and think, oh who's going to take over Malcom [Brogdon]'s points or who's going to take over Anthony [Gill]'s points. I think as a team we all try to do it collectively. We move the ball really well this year. I know there are a lot of times where someone has an open shot but we always kick it to one more and knock down shots. I think our team chemistry and ball movement this year is a lot better."
On whether the team is prepared for better opponents: "I would say we've been tested but tested against each other in practice every day. We go against each other every day, battling against one of the better defenses in the country. I think our practices make us prepared for anybody."
Guard Kyle Guy
On how he has adapted in last two games: "It feels really good right now out there. I've been trying to be really poised and focused and make sure I'm mentally prepared for each game. Credit to everyone on the coaching staff and everybody else on the team who prepares me for the games. I expect to go through my ups and downs, but I just want to try and stay even-keeled through it all."
On his 13-minute night: "In high school, you always played most of the game. Now, however long coach puts me in, it doesn't matter to me. I just try to contribute the best I can for as long as I can."
On shot selection: "A good way of playing more and more each game with Coach Bennett is not turning the ball over. So, I have tried to not be conservative but just let the game come to me. I feel like I have a second nature feel for the game, so I try to get everyone involved and then when I'm open I just don't even think about it. I shoot."
UVA Basketball Fans!
Dick Vitale on Team of Destiny: "This is a hoops story you will LOVE! Jerry and Chris capture the sensational and dramatic championship journey by Tony Bennett and his tenacious Cavalier team. UVA was Awesome Baby and so is this book!"
Ralph Sampson on Team of Destiny: "Jerry and Chris have lived and seen it all, even before my time. I highly recommend this book to every basketball fan across the globe. This story translates to all who know defeat and how to overcome it!"
Feedback from buyers: "Got the Book in the Mail Saturday, and could not put it down! Great read and great photography as well! Love all of the books I've received, but hands down, this is my favorite!" – Russell

ASN Morning Read: What About Bob?
This is a site about American soccer, but the biggest news yesterday was American soccer-adjacent as Bob Bradley lost his job at Swansea City after just 11 games. That's not a lot of time.

- How do you say "it's not entirely his fault that his defense couldn't stop a dull knife" in Welsh?: "The former U.S. men's national team coach inherited a very bad team that continued to play poorly under his tenure. His lone goal was to keep Swansea in the Premier League but after two wins, two draws, and six losses, staying in the top flight looked very difficult no matter what happened in the transfer window. The Welsh club now sits in 19th place and is four points from safety. Here are a few thoughts on his dismissal."
- He will land on his feet, hopefully:

Therefore, he needs tools that allow him to freely explore and investigate data. Incorporating more data sets in the analysis should be very easy, there should be no need to specify a goal beforehand, and it must be possible to analyze data in an unguided way.
Besides all the more standard features such as displaying data as bar charts, in dashboards, on geographical maps, the perfect tool for this type of work should support at least the following characteristics:
- No advance preparations: There should be no need to predefine data structures of the analysis work in advance. If data is available, it should be possible to load it without any preparations, even if it concerns a new type of data.
- Unguided analysis: Analysts should be able to invoke the analysis technology without having to specify a goal in advance. The exploration technology should allow for analyzing data in an unguided style.
- Self-service: Analysts should be able to use the analysis techniques without help from IT experts.
CXAIR internally organizes all the data using an intelligent index. In fact, internally it's based on text-search technology. This makes it possible to combine and relate data without any form of restriction, which is what analysts need.
Unlike most analysis tools, CXAIR uses search technology that speeds up data analysis. For calculations a mixture of in-memory and on-disk caching is used to analyse massive amounts of data at search engine speeds. All the loaded data resides on the server as it provides a thin client web interface. In other words, no data is loaded on the client machine. Numbers are cached on the server but not text. The fact that CXAIR doesn't cache all the data means that available memory is not a restriction. Cache is used to improve the performance, but large internal memory is not a necessity but will help performance, particularly for ad-hoc calculations.
CXAIR is clearly a representative of a new generation of reporting/analysis tools that users can deploy to freely analyze data. It's a tool for self-service discovery and investigation of data. It's the tool that many data scientists have been waiting for and is worth checking out.

Govinda's Buffet, the restaurant in the Krishna center at 1400 Cherry Street, has reopened after a year-long hiatus, with a buffet that features "karma-free spiritual vegetarian food" cooked by a Brahmanical chef and blessed by Krishna.
What that translates to: all-you-can-eat vegetarian fare that might expand your horizons, mind -- and even waistline.
Govinda's is currently open only on Friday and Saturday nights. The menu changes daily; you can check out the offerings in advance on the Krishna Denver website. There are three plating options: the $7.95 green plate, which includes the all-you-can-eat, eighteen-item salad bar (try the housemade green goddess dressing), plus soup and bread; the $9.95 blue plate, which repeats the green offerings and adds rice, dahl, subji, steamed vegetable, pakoras with chutney and one serving of dessert; and the $12.95 gold plate, which includes everything you get on the blue plate as well as Govinda's nightly entree.
This past Saturday, the gold-plate dishes included split-pea soup, whole wheat bread, steamed butternut squash, stir-fried eggplant with paneer as the subji, a bonus subji of gouranga potatoes, basmati rice, cauliflower pakora, tomato chutney, pizza for the entree and sweet rice in a cup for dessert. The low point of the meal was definitely the pizza; the crust was crisp on the bottom, but a little too doughy toward the top. The sauce was uninspired and the toppings fresh but not fabulous -- in short, this entree wasn't worth the gold-plate splurge. (And you get so much food, you really don't need an entree, anyway.)
The split-pea soup came nowhere close to the classic Moosewood version -- which is vegan, fat-free and requires just one pot to make. If it doesn't violate any teachings, Govinda's might went to spice up its recipe with some cracked black pepper and a little red-wine vinegar, because without the traditional ham to add flavor, split-pea soup can be pretty bland. The homemade whole wheat bread was delicious, though, served in fat slabs perfect for scooping up the thick soup. With a slightly crisp crust and a soft, absorbent center, the bread worked well with everything else on the plate, too, including the steamed butternut squash. Although Govinda's didn't add seasoning or ghee to the squash, diners could season to taste with butter, salt and pepper.

The subjis and pakoras were the real stars. Although the eggplant with paneer was tasty enough, the bonus gouranga potato subji was heaven on a plate: golden potatoes steamed and then served in a sauce of sour cream, butter, turmeric, rosemary, basil and oregano. This simple preparation was perfect over the bright-yellow basmati rice, which tasted of a hint of saffron.
The cauliflower pakora was actually broccoli, but no matter -- garbanzo-bean batter and deep-frying in ghee suits broccoli just as well as it does cauliflower. This is one of the most popular dishes at Govinda's, and it was easy to see why.
The little cup of sweet rice rounded everything off beautifully.

SEATTLE — With NCAA Championship berths on the line at the MPSF Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday, Jake Hurysz and Joe Bosshard put everything on the table in the 3,000-meter run and finished with two of the fastest times in the NCAA this season.
Hurysz finished the race second overall in 7 minutes, 50.50 seconds, improving on his personal record of 7:59.89 that he set just two weeks ago on the same track at the Husky Classic. The time currently ranks third in the NCAA. His PR also launched him from 10th on CU's all-time performers list, to second all-time behind Olympian Adam Goucher (7:46.03).
Bosshard was a very close fourth in the race, finishing just .36 seconds behind Hurysz. Bosshard's time of 7:50.86 is currently fifth in the NCAA and will advance him to nationals. Prior to this 3k race, his personal best had been 8:09.22, which he ran in 2011 at the Big 12 Championships for a fourth-place finish. His new time ranks third all-time for the Buffs behind Goucher and Hurysz.
With Bosshard earning a sub-8:00 3k time, he became the fourth Buff this season to dip below the8:00 mark, something that has never been done in school history. Ben Saarel (7:52.61) and Blake Theroux (7:54.76) recorded their times two weeks ago when Hurysz had his first run under 8:00. Saarel's time is 13th on the NCAA list, while Theroux is 21st.
Oregon's Edward Cheserek won the race in 7:47.20 and Stanford's Erik Olson finished third between Hurysz and Bosshard in 7:50.81.
"The highlight of the weekend was probably the men's 3k," coach Mark Wetmore said. "Those times by Jake and Joe are big and ahead of some good guys at CU and, of course, are nice team points. They'll both get in to NCAAs with those times, along with Ben's time from two weeks ago."
The women also had success in the 3k and were led by Shalaya Kipp's fourth-place finish. She clocked a PR of 9:15.79, becoming the fifth fastest Buff all-time. Besides Kipp, Melanie Nun also picked up a point for the Buffs with an eighth-place finish (9:24.26). This was her first 3k race for the Buffs and her time ranks 10th on CU's all-time list.
"Shalaya was a little further back in the 3k than we would have guessed," said Wetmore. "I think that might have been mostly my fault, bothering her during the race, but she looks like she will go on to NCAAs in the 5k. Melanie Nun also had a nice race to get eighth; 9:24 is good for a freshman with little indoor experience."
The men's mile was slower than expected with the second heat, which was considered the fast heat, finishing with times similar to the first heat. CU had three runners in the second heat, Saarel, Theroux and Connor Winter. Saarel ended up third in his heat (fifth overall), crossing the finish in 4:05.22. A pair of UO runners beat him to the line as Trevor Dunbar (4:04.59) and Brett Johnson (4:05.12) came in just ahead of him. Two other runners from the first section had times faster than Saarel, which moved him to fifth overall.
The second heat of the mile all finished within 2.5 seconds of each other. Winter ended up sixth in the section (eighth overall) in 4:06.15, and Theroux placed 10th in the heat (12th overall) in 4:06.93. Jordan Locklear (Cal) won the first heat in 4:04.03, which was good enough to beat all the times from the second heat.
"The men's mile was a real disappointment," Wetmore said. "It was another tentative, silly-slow, early pace, not just for our guys, but the whole field, and then a mosh pit the last lap. They ended up getting beat by the slow section. The guy that won that heat was motivated and gutty. He'll be celebrating tonight."
The high jump has become an area CU has been consistent in picking up points in, and this year was no different. Kelsey English placed fourth on the women's side after clearing 5 feet, 8 inches. Mark Jones tied for sixth on the men's side with a mark of 6-9.
"The high jumpers didn't have their very best days, but we still got pretty good points from Kelsey, and Mark is still right on the edge of advancing to NCAAs at 17th," Wetmore said.
The sprinters also recorded a couple points for the team on Saturday. Eileen Gehring picked up a point for the team score with an eighth-place finish in the 400-meter dash, finishing the race in 54.47. Jaron Thomas ran in the finals of the 60-hurdles and was also eighth in 8.17.
As a team, the women finished ninth overall out of 17 teams with 29 points and the men placed 10th out of 12 teams with 32 points. USC took home the women's team title (106) and Cal won the men's title (96).
"Somehow we came out with about the team scores I expected, just not exactly from the predictable events," Wetmore said. "Like yesterday, today was another day of ups and downs. Maybe bigger ups than downs though."
The next meet on the schedule for the Buffs is the NCAA Indoor Track & Field ChampionshipsMarch 14-15 in Albuquerque, N.M.
"We have an annoying amount of people right on the edge of the NCAA qualification," Wetmore said. "Sixteen get invited in each event and we have a handful between 17th and 18th with Mark Jones (high jump), Alex Kizirian (weight throw), Morgan Pearson (5k) and Blake Theroux (3k). We just have to wait and see if any ahead of them don't declare. I would guess we will end up with five or six in Albuquerque. The rest get to go back to work for the outdoor season."

VentMax incorporates an advanced air scrubbing system that reduces dust, ammonia and odour emissions by up to 90%. These reductions can help you achieve environmental targets that will support planning applications and EA/NRW approval.
The importance of ammonia and odour reduction
VentMax technology has huge implications for broiler and layer farms across the UK. In areas where there is a high density of poultry farming, or farms are in close proximity to dwellings, it can often be difficult to obtain permission to expand operations.
With the Environment Agency (EA) and Natural Resources Wales (NRW) imposing tighter controls over ammonia emissions, farm owners experience planning application delays and sometimes rejections.
VentMax can help reduce ammonia and odour emissions to help support the case for planning consent.
Air scrubbing and extraction
VentMax units are fitted with dust filters and an advanced ammonia air scrubber system. These treat and clean the used air before it leaves the shed and is discharged to the atmosphere.
Ammonia, odour and dust reduction
Reduced levels of ammonia
In addition to its air scrubbing system, VentMax has smart cooling and ventilation functionality to provide a controlled environment inside the poultry units. By optimising temperature and humidity levels, litter quality is preserved and this helps reduce the levels of ammonia in the shed.
With less ammonia being produced, and exhausted-air being cleaned prior to extraction, VentMax can minimise emissions by up to 90%.

Remembering Geri Allen
June 29, 2017
The great pianist, composer and educator Geri Allen passed away this week from cancer.
In 2008, Allen sat down with Greg Thomas for an in-depth interview as part of our Harlem Speaks series. Her family, influences and mentors are the topics of part one. After intermission, she delves into her recordings, her teachers, and her time at the Barry Harris Workshop, so significant in her development. Armed with a Master's in Ethnomusicology, she explores the African influence in jazz. She also talks about the value of learning jazz standards and their influence on her as a composer. Then, to all our great surprise, she plays a several part invention inspired by a Bud Powell bebop tune.
Thank you, Geri. We miss you dearly.

Neck lift
Dr. Balikian's philosophy with all neck lift surgeries is for you to look like yourself, only better, without the signs of aging. You will look naturally lifted, and will not look pulled. This procedure can often be performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation, negating the need for general anesthesia.
A neck lift rejuvenates by reducing sagging skin, lifting and tightening weakened muscles of the neck and removing excess fat underneath the skin, which will smooth out and improve wrinkles.
Neck lifts tighten the major weak neck muscles, remove bands running down the neck, creates a sharper chin-neck angle and take away excess skin.
Dr. Balikian is a double board certified facial plastic surgeon who focuses solely on the face and neck. For more information on his advanced facial rejuvenation techniques call Balikian Facial Plastic Surgery today at (951) 719-2950 or use our online appointment request form.
