Aug 5, 1918
My dearest Joe.
I was so happy to receive your always welcome letters and two cards. Joe dear, do you receive the letters I write you? I write every week and you surely ought to have quite a few. I am so glad you aren't in the trenches and I hate to think what might happen to you when you are in them. Every night in my prayers I always pray for you and Jim, that you both might come back to us safe and unharmed. Yes, and I'm afraid my kid brother will have to go now, as Gen. Crowder says all men + boys from 18 to 45 must go. You must have a great time sleeping in billets with horrible rats running around. Your army life is no cinch is it. Well Joe we all hope for the best + are anxiously looking forward to when our boys come home again. Joe I am sending you a little emblem of good luck, five leaves means extra good luck, so just put it in your purse for safe keeping.
If the weather in France is any thing like its here you boys have my greatest sympathy. Yesterday it was 102 degrees in the shade, but thank heavens it's a little cooler today. I wish it was winter time.
Ours boys are doing wonderful work in France, the papers give wonderful news which I follow very closely.
Joe, my cousin and I are going to take some pictures today and if they turn out half way decent I'll send you a couple.
I am still going to school, how I wish I was finished.
Do you hear very often from any folks in Jamaica? Have you met any of your old friends yet? I guess chances are slim in that line. There are three brothers from here who were scarcely a mile apart and didn't know it until they were moved to other towns. All the boys from here always write and ask where Jim is thinking they might run across him, but none have so far.
I want this letter to catch the next mail so I'll close with lots + lots of love.
Yours for ever
PS: Excepted for the duration of the war + ever after. Get me?
Be sure + write as soon as you can. My cousin says she is going to write to you.

Pfeffer Cell Apparatus
The Pfeffer Zelle (Pfeffer Cell Apparatus), invented by Wilhelm Pfeffer in 1877, measured the minimum pressure needed to prevent a pure solvent from passing into a solution across a semi-permeable membrane, called osmotic pressure. The apparatus provided Pfeffer with a way to quantitatively measure osmotic pressure. Pfeffer devised the apparatus in the 1870s at the University of Basel in Basel, Switzerland, and he described the Pfeffer Cell Apparatus in his 1877 book Osmotische Untersuchungen: Studien Zur Zellmechanik (Osmotic Investigations: Studies on Cell Mechanics).

"Perspectives on the Properties of Stem Cells" (2005), by Ernest McCulloch and James Till
In 2005, Ernest McCulloch and James Till published the article "Perspectives on the Properties of Stem Cells," which discusses the various properties and future possibilities for the use of stem cells. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can develop into several different cell types. In the article published in the journal Nature on 1 October 2005, the authors say they wrote the article to dispel misconceptions about what stem cells are, what they do, address some controversies surrounding stem cells, and discuss potential uses of stem cells.

The First Successful Cloning of a Gaur (2000), by Advanced Cell Technology
The first successful cloning of a gaur in 2000 by Advanced Cell Technology involved the cells of two animals: an egg cell from a domestic cow and a skin cell from a gaur. The researchers extracted the egg cell from the ovary of the domestic cow and the skin cell from the skin of the gaur. First, the researchers performed nuclear transplantation on the egg cell of the cow, during which they removed the nucleus of the egg cell. The mitochondria of the egg cell remained intact inside the cell.

Amphioxus, and the Mosaic Theory of Development (1893), by Edmund Beecher Wilson
Edmund Beecher Wilson experimented with Amphioxus (Branchiostoma) embryos in 1892 to identify what caused their cells to differentiate into new types of cells during the process of development. Wilson shook apart the cells at early stages of embryonic development, and he observed the development of the isolated cells. He observed that in the normal development of Amphioxus, all three main types of symmetry, or cleavage patterns observed in embryos, could be found. Wilson proposed a hypothesis that reformed the Mosaic Theory associated with Wilhelm Roux in Germany.

"The Potency of the First Two Cleavage Cells in Echinoderm Development. Experimental Production of Partial and Double Formations" (1891-1892), by Hans Driesch
Hans Adolf Eduard Driesch was a late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century philosopher and developmental biologist. In the spring of 1891 Driesch performed experiments using two-celled sea urchin embryos, the results of which challenged the then-accepted understanding of embryo development. Driesch showed that the cells of an early embryo, when separated, could each continue to develop into normal larval forms.

Gastrulation in Gallus gallus (Domestic Chicken)
Gastrulation is an early stage in embryo development in which the blastula reorganizes into three germ layers: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. Gastrulation occurs after cleavage but before neurulation and organogenesis. Ernst Haeckel coined the term; gaster, meaning stomach in Latin, is the root for gastrulation, as the gut is one of the most unique creations of the gastrula.

"The Developmental Capacity of Nuclei Taken from Intestinal Epithelium Cells of Feeding Tadpoles" (1962), by John B. Gurdon
In 1962 researcher John Bertrand Gurdon at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England, conducted a series of experiments on the developmental capacity of nuclei taken from intestinal epithelium cells of feeding tadpoles. In the experiments, Gurdon conducted nuclear transplantation, or cloning, of differentiated cells, or cells that have already specialized to become one cell type or another, in tadpoles. Gurdon's experiment showed that differentiated adult cells could be induced to an undifferentiated state, where they could once again become multiple cell types.

An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (1895), by Edmund Beecher Wilson
Edmund Beecher Wilson in the US published An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (hereafter called An Atlas) in 1895. The book presents photographs by photographer Edward Leaming that capture stages of fertilization, the fusion of sperm and egg and early development of sea urchin (Toxopneustes variegatus) ova, or egg cell. Prior to An Atlas, no one photographed of eggcell division in clear detail. Wilson obtained high quality images of egg cells by cutting the cells into thin sections and preserving them throughout different stages of development.

Process of Eukaryotic Embryonic Development
All sexually reproducing, multicellular diploid eukaryotes begin life as embryos. Understanding the stages of embryonic development is vital to explaining how eukaryotes form and how they are related on the tree of life. This understanding can also help answer questions related to morphology, ethics, medicine, and other pertinent fields of study. In particular, the field of comparative embryology is concerned with documenting the stages of ontogeny.

Embryonic Differentiation in Animals
Embryonic differentiation is the process of development during which embryonic cells specialize and diverse tissue structures arise. Animals are made up of many different cell types, each with specific functions in the body. However, during early embryonic development, the embryo does not yet possess these varied cells; this is where embryonic differentiation comes into play. The differentiation of cells during embryogenesis is the key to cell, tissue, organ, and organism identity.

Stem Cells
According to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), the standard American source on stem cell research, three characteristics of stem cells differentiate them from other cell types: (1) they are unspecialized cells that (2) divide for long periods, renewing themselves and (3) can give rise to specialized cells, such as muscle and skin cells, under particular physiological and experimental conditions. When allowed to grow in particular environments, stem cells divide many times. This ability to proliferate can yield millions of stem cells over several months.

Purkinje Cells
Purkinje cells, also called Purkinje neurons, are neurons in vertebrate animals located in the cerebellar cortex of the brain. Purkinje cell bodies are shaped like a flask and have many threadlike extensions called dendrites, which receive impulses from other neurons called granule cells. Each cell also has a single projection called an axon, which transmits impulses to the part of the brain that controls movement, the cerebellum. Purkinje cells are inhibitory neurons: they secrete neurotransmitters that bind to receptors that inhibit or reduce the firing of other neurons.

Gastrulation in Mus musculus (common house mouse)
As mice embryos develop, they undergo a stage of development called gastrulation. The hallmark of vertebrate gastrulation is the reorganization of the inner cell mass (ICM) into the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Mammalian embryogenesis occurs within organisms; therefore, gastrulation was originally described in species with easily observable embryos. For example, the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is the most widely used organism to study gastrulation because the large embryos develop inside a translucent membrane.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are cells derived from non-pluripotent cells, such as adult somatic cells, that are genetically manipulated so as to return to an undifferentiated, pluripotent state. Research on iPSCs, initiated by Shinya Yamanaka in 2006 and extended by James Thompson in 2007, has so far revealed the same properties as embryonic stem cells (ESCs), making their discovery potentially very beneficial for scientists and ethicists alike.

Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are capable of dividing for long periods of time and can give rise to specialized cells under particular conditions. Embryonic stem cells are a particular type of stem cell derived from embryos. According to US National Institutes of Health (NIH), in humans, the term "embryo" applies to a fertilized egg from the beginning of division up to the end of the eighth week of gestation, when the embryo becomes a fetus. Between fertilization and the eighth week of gestation, the embryo undergoes multiple cell divisions.

As tea lovers ourselves, naturally we carry by far a lot more selections in oolongs than anything else. We sell what we love to drink, and we firmly belief in this philosophy and are proud of it. Oolongs — the gran cru of teas
Shèmen Dancong Double Baked 2016Fenghuang ( Phoenix ), Floral Aromas, Fuller Bodies, Home, Neutral Energy, Oolongs, Tea
Rock tea of PhoenixDeep in Wudong, the most revered area for Fenhuang Dancong production, the village of Shèmen ( sheh-mehn ) is home to one of the most elusive traditional style oolongs. Here the Shè ( 畬 ) tribe settled a thousand years ago and began producing oolong to bake it in a way that was copied in Wuyishan a few hundred years later to produce Wuyi oolongs. Tea Hong's double baked and matured Shèmen Dancong is our best attempt to reconstruct the same tea of the peace-loving and hard-working Shè people 10 centuries ago. This old style oolong gives a clear and most eloquent definition of the tea term yan-yun — music from the rock. The term has been mostly employed to describe better Wuyi oolongs yet it has never been more beautifully defined by this Phoenix tea. If you ever wonder about the relationship of the oolongs between the two regions, this may well be the link you are looking for. Net weight: 40 g (1.4 oz) in Kraft-alu pack

the oolong with an accent of milkIn the early 80's when the tea was first available to the market, tea tasters described Jinxuan oolong as having an accent of milk. The simple remark has sparked waves of imitation products, all involving adding flavouring. This continues until today. Jinxuan maybe one of the more popular cultivars in Taiwan, but it takes mastery to harvest and process it properly for that natural and slight "milk" accents, and all the other finer tea qualities. Tea Hong's Alishan Jinxuan is just that. Non-blended first flush superbly produced to the same balance as Prof Wu Zhenduo* had originally intended it to be. As the same cleansing, soft taste profile that made it famous in the beginning. Nothing added, purely as we have always like our tea to be.

Original Tieguanyin CultivarTo old time aficionados, tieguanyin is not just about floral aroma. They seek yun-wei, which can be roughly translated as "lingering taste of various tones and accents". For the right yun-wei, we went to the origin of tieguanyin for a fourth generation farm high in altitude. Tea Hong's Tieguanyin Traditional is produced from a particular patch where only matured shrubs of the thorough-breed cultivar grow and are harvested only once year. This is to ensure maximum amount of taste and salutary substances are stored in the young leaves for subsequent mastery processing for the wonderful lingering taste of various tones and accents. Like a fine old style tieguanyin should be.

Since late last century, traders have taken advantage of its distinctive and pleasing aroma to mislabel it as the much demanded, but hugely misrepresented Red Cloak, Iron Buddha, or other famous Wuyi oolongs. Some blend it in other varieties for the same disguise purpose. Tea Hong's Qi Lan is a premium single batch production that is optimally fermented and baked to allow the full, glorious taste profile of the tea.

Huangzhi Xiang Dancong:Cutting away from the main trail towards the more visited Zhongxin Yin and Lizai Ping, hidden away behind a spur, there is the quieter Wudong village Danhu. Shaded on the north of the dark rock mountain, it is cool here even at 4 pm on a summer day. The tea forests here are mostly made up of bushes 2 to 3 meters tall. Occasional 3 to 5 meter ones, each occupying a circular clearing around them, grow gloriously with their wide-spread crowns. Tiny patches of vegetables grown here and there under tea trees. The few families here have been tea farmers since their grandfathers remembered. As to when the old bush for our Song Cultivar have been here, no one can really tell.

FACETIME- Hope in soap: Local woman behind bars
Mention suds to most college students, and they might think about beer. Marie Skylark is different.
Back in 2005, when her boyfriend complained that a bar of "chef's soap" he'd brought back from a trip to France was used up, Skylark– then a first-year biochemistry major at UVA– decided to get him a replacement of the product popular among chefs in bistros and cafes for its long lasting and non-astringent qualities. But when she started looking, she realized no such product is manufactured in the United States. A eureka moment soon followed.
"I realized I could use my major to make my own," says Skylark. Now 21, she left UVA in 2007– half-way through her third year– to pursue her soap invention.
Two years and more than $50,000 of investors' money later, Marie's Chef's Soap has hit the shelves of local stores including The Happy Cook in Barracks Road and Whole Foods on Seminole Trail. The patented formula contains 100 plant oils and no synthetic chemicals. It's also unscented, Skylark says, assuring chefs that the flavors of their dishes won't be affected by the scent of their soap.
And it already has local fans.
"Your hands get clean but don't feel oily or slick," says Bill Dandridge, a family physician who has been using the soap in his home for the last four months and expects his single large bar to last– as the label promises– for a year.
Hassan Kaisaum, owner and chef at Aroma's Cafe in Barracks Road, became a fan of chef's soap– also known as Savon de Marseilles– when he trained in France. "I'm so happy it's available in Charlottesville," he says.
Although the two-pound bar currently retails for $28.95– a hefty sum for a bar of soap– Skylark points out that because it's designed to last a full year, the cost averages to less than $2.50 per month, more economical than purchasing single bars of other high quality soaps. She adds that a high glycerin content leaves hands moisturized, and the soap is listed as both non-toxic and biodegradable.
With local stores already carrying her product, Skylark says has turned her focus to getting shelf space in stores across the country. In the last month, she says, she's had her soap picked up by stores in seven states.
"It's something we're hoping goes up and up," says Skylark, who would have graduated last year had she not leapt into business.
"I'm someone who didn't expect she'd be going into soap," says Skylark. "But I'm glad I did."

On June 6, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners approved a project for a new Time and Attendance System. The project is sponsored by three Broward County divisions: Human Resources, Accounting and Enterprise Technology Services.
The new system will launch in 2014, and will result in a more efficient payroll system. Because it eliminates all the paper associated with tracking and reporting of time and attendance, it's also environmentally-friendly!
easyPay will modernize Broward County's payroll and timekeeping systems, ensuring a more accurate, consistent and timely delivery of employee pay. Objectives are to:
The new Kronos system is built by one of the most respected vendors in the industry and includes five modules, or features: Timekeeper, Leave, Attendance, Activities and Device Manager. Here's a primer on how the new system will work.
Other features provide further automation and give managers and supervisors more information to make informed decisions about business operations.

Hello everybody.
For nearly two days I try to make thunar-archive plugin work with Xarchiver. But I can't do it.
I compiled Xarchiver from source, thunar-archive-plugin was installed using Thunar-Bundle-0.8.0 graphical installer.
xarchiver.desktop is in /usr/local/share/applications/, xarchiver.tap is in /usr/local/libexec/thunar-archive-plugin/. I also used update-desktop-database /usr/local/share/applications, but I still receive message "No suitable archive manager found" when I try extracting via right click->Extract to.
My system is Slackware 11.0
If I do something wrong then can anybody write how to do it correctly?
My system is Slackware 11.0,too.
I install Thunar-Bundle-0.8.0 graphical installer useing prefix=/usr
and install xarchiver-0.4.6-i486-1asz that download from www.linuxpackages.net
OK. I'll give it a try. I hope that everything will work.
I had the same problem. Message "no archiver found". Thunar supports to archiver programs one of which is "file-roller". I don't remember the other at this time. I went to the website. The other is "Ark". Look at this link. http://thunar.xfce.org/plugins.html#thu … ive-plugin
After installing everything to /usr instead of /usr/local everything works :? So the problem is solved.
Strange, maybe you can create a bug report?

A federal bankruptcy judge has approved a settlement between Casey Anthony and a Texas search group that helped look for her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Texas Equusearch Mounted Search and Recovery will be allowed to have an unsecured claim of $75,000 in Anthony's bankruptcy case under the terms of the settlement.
Judge K. Rodney May approved the settlement Monday in Tampa.
U.S. & World
The search group won't be entitled to any other claims and won't be allowed any further dealings in the case.
The group had objected to the bankruptcy, claiming it spent more than $100,000 searching for the girl in 2008. Attorneys for the group said Anthony knew her daughter was already dead.
Anthony was acquitted of murder in the girl's death during a 2011 trial and has been in hiding since then.
She filed for bankruptcy in January, claiming just $1,000 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities.
Two other parties have complaints pending in Anthony's bankruptcy case.
Both Zenaida Gonzalez and Roy Kronk claim they were defamed by Anthony, but she has asked a judge to dismiss their claims. Anthony's attorneys say the claims they were defamed are baseless.
Anthony told detectives investigating Caylee's disappearance that a baby sitter named Zenaida Gonzalez kidnapped the girl.
Kronk found Caylee's remains in woods near Anthony's home. He says he was defamed when Anthony's defense team made false statements, including that Kronk killed Caylee and that he moved the remains.

Proschwitz at the double in Hull win
Nick Proschwitz's brace for Hull pushed his side into the npower Championship play-off spots with a 2-1 win against Ipswich at the KC Stadium.
The visitors survived a barrage of chances from the Tigers in the first half to take the lead after 29 minutes through Jay Emmanuel-Thomas.
But Ipswich were pegged back by Proschwitz's first goal for the club in the 73rd minute, set up by fellow summer signing Ahmed Elmohamady.
The German striker's effort sparked a flurry of chances for the hosts, but it was Proschwitz himself who ensured three points with an injury-time header to give Hull a second successive win.
City had a point to prove at the KC stadium - having lost their last two home games - and they showed their intentions in the fifth minute when Sone Aluko's corner was met by Paul McShane, whose shot needed a scrambled clearance from Ipswich.
Aluko was gifted the home side's best chance on goal after 16 minutes when defender Danny Higginbotham slipped in the Ipswich box. However, with just goalkeeper Stephen Henderson to beat, Aluko fired well over.
It was Hull's game to dominate as Ipswich only had a Lee Martin shot saved easily by goalkeeper Ben Amos to show for their early efforts. Henderson was kept busy at the other end and he needed to be quick to collect Aluko's through-ball with Jay Simpson rushing on.
Emmanuel-Thomas then gave the visitors the lead against the run of play. A quickly taken free-kick on the right saw the 21-year-old given the chance to jink his way into the box and, with no defenders closing him down, fire into the bottom corner.
Emmanuel-Thomas almost made it two, only for Liam Rosenior to make a last-ditch tackle to deny the shot before Daryl Murphy headed over from a corner just before the break.
Hull came out firing in the second half with two early chances as Abdoulaye Faye's looping header was tipped over by Henderson before Andy Dawson's long-range effort fizzed narrowly over.
Ipswich retaliated through Martin and Nigel Reo-Coker, both of whom tested Amos with strong shots.
City brought on Aaron Mclean just after the hour mark followed by a double substitution with Proschwitz and James Chester taking the field, and the hosts at last found vigour.
Stephen Quinn headed wide from Elmohamady's cross before Simpson fed Mclean on the right, who shot straight at Henderson.
The pressure yielded rewards as Elmohamady found space on the right-hand byline to cross low for Proschwitz, who made no mistake from point-blank range.
City should have been ahead in the 84th minute, only for Quinn's long-range effort to strike the crossbar before Proschwitz shot hopelessly over from six yards.
But the German made amends in dramatic style by meeting Elmohamady's cross in almost the final minute of injury time to power the winner past Henderson.

Here is the latest on the new developments we've added to the eSwitchKit. We didn't sit on our haunches after the launch; we've already made some improvements.
One of the most important portions of the new eSwitchKit is the real-time status checklist that's created for the member to use throughout the switching process. A major upgrade we've just implemented is the ability for the member to re-send switch emails and/or to print switch letters at any time, via their personalized online switching checklist.
For member convenience, we've also added an "Already fill a switch kit out?" login area on the first page of the eSwitchKit. Just in case they've lost their email with the login link, or can't access their email, they can still log in and view their checklist to see the status of their switches. We've also implemented a password retrieval system in case they don't have that info handy.
If you are demo'ing the eSwitchKit, then in order to experience the eSwitchKit's full capability, be sure to input your email address as well as create a username and password. After doing so, you'll feel the same hand-holding experience your members will be receiving. You'll get a copy of all of the secure emails, along with the most important email; the email guiding the member to their secure and personalized eSwitchKit checklist. If you're interested in the eSwitchKit's full capability, be sure to complete this step. There isn't another switch kit in the country like it.
Why is the personalized eSwitchKit checklist important?
- In one convenient spot for the member, they have a record of every company that has been informed of the switch, and can check it at any time to see the real-time status of each company that has, or has not, replied to the notification.
- The secure emails sent to companies have specialized replies pre-written within the email that use radio button technology. The vendor selects an answer and that answer is instantly updated on the checklist.
- The member can stay in the know at all times concerning their account switches and they can re-send and re-print the switch emails and letters any time they need to.
- The receiving company can send notes back to the members via the secure emails and the notes will appear in real-time on the checklist.
Click here to demo the eSwitchKit.
We are also extremely pleased to announce that already six credit unions have signed on to the eSwitchKit in less than three weeks. Welcome aboard Pam Griffiths and the Railroad & Industrial FCU team as well as Malinda Warchus and the Electric Service CU team.

From NBC's Mark Murray
The question of whether or not the eventual health-care reform legislation will include a public/government option to compete with private insurers has dominated the health-care debate over the past two days.
And according to a brand-new NBC News poll, 47% of Americans -- a plurality -- oppose the public plan, versus 43% who support it. That's a shift from last month's NBC/WSJ poll, when 46% said they backed it and 44% were opposed.
In a follow-up question explaining the benefits and disadvantages associated with a public plan, 45% said they agreed with the description -- by supporters -- that it would help lower health-care costs and provide coverage for uninsured Americans.
But 48% sided with opponents who say a public option would reduce access to their choice of doctors, and would lower costs by limiting medical treatment options.
Tune into Nightly News, or click onto MSNBC.com, for the full results of the poll at 6:30 pm ET.
The poll was conducted Aug. 15-17 of 805 adults. It has a margin of error of plus-minus 3.5 percentage points.

New law prohibits the sale of more than 100 different cold medications, which contain substance some are calling 'the new crystal meth'
State Sen. Mark J. Grisanti announced Friday legislation he introduced earlier this year was signed into law by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo restricting the sale of certain cold medicine and other cold remedies containing the ingredient dextromethorphan (also known as "DXM") to minors in New York.
The restrictions, which will go into effect in late December, prohibit the sale to minors of medications that contain DXM, an ingredient that experts say is being abused by teenagers as a way to get high.
Grisanti, who first introduced the legislation in January, has pushed strongly for the bill to become law. He delivered the proposal to the governor's office early last week.
"The abuse of DXM is increasing among teens, and part of the reason for that is because the substance is so easy to access," Grisanti said. "As an over-the-counter drug, prior to this legislation there were no restrictions as to who can purchase any medicine that contains DXM. This new law prohibits the sale of over 100 cold medications to anyone under the age of 18."
Prior to Grisanti's legislation being signed into law, there were no restrictions as to who could purchase any type of medicine containing DXM or how much can be purchased at one time. Addiction counselors have reported a number of teens are under the misconception that over-the-counter medicines are harmless and cannot cause significant illness or even death.
Grisanti's camp said extremely high dosages of DXM can induce a hallucinatory state and/or serious sides effects that may include confusion, dizziness, double or blurred vision, slurred speech, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, numbness or fingers and toes, and disorientation. Some of the visual hallucinations and sensations are believed to be similar to other dissociative anesthetics, like PCP and Ketamine, with some addiction counselors saying DXM is the new alternative to previous users of cocaine and crystal meth.
Research has found males between the ages of 15 and 19 are the most frequent abuses of DXM, although female teens and children of both genders younger than 15 are also believed to be experimenting with substances they usually find in their medicine cabinet at home, purchase themselves or shoplift from a store.
The amount of said medications that can be purchased at one time will also be limited. Any store that is found to be in violation of the new law will be subject to a fine of $250.
"What we are dealing with is an epidemic involving many of our young people, and we can no longer ignore the catastrophic results that abuse of these medications is producing," Grisanti said. "This legislation is a step in the right direction and helps to put these particular form(s) of drug abuse on everyone's radar so that they are aware of it and we can all work together to keep these types of medicine(s) out of the hands of our children."

Navy And Notre Dame To Meet At FedExField In 2014
ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The 2014 Navy-Notre Dame game will be played on Nov. 1 at FedExField in Landover, Md. it was announced today by Redskins Chief Marketing Officer Mitch Gershman and Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.
This will be the first meeting between the two schools at FedExField since 1998. Navy last played at FedExField on Dec. 10, 2011 when the Mids defeated Army, 27-21.
"FedExField did a fine job of hosting the Army-Navy game and we are looking forward to another sold out event in 2014," said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.
"The Navy and Notre Dame game highlights two outstanding collegiate programs," said Gershman. "We are excited to welcome both teams back to FedExField and are looking forward to hosting one of the most competitive and nationally acclaimed matchups in the country."
Gladchuk and Notre Dame Director of Athletics and Vice President Jack Swarbrick announced last fall that Navy's football series with Notre Dame, which is the longest continuous intersectional rivalry in college football, had been extended to 2026, which will be the centennial year for the series.
The Irish and Mids meet in South Bend on odd years; while on even years the contest is Navy's home game, customarily played at regional NFL venues. The two schools, which have played every year since 1926, met for the 86th on Sept. 1 at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. Next year's game will take place on Nov. 2 in South Bend.

What You Need to Know About Unemployment Benefits
Here's how you qualify and start collecting checks.
I was laid off from my job and am wondering whether I can receive unemployment benefits. How do I sign up for them?
To qualify for unemployment benefits, you must be out of work through no fault of your own and be actively looking for a job. File for benefits as soon as you lose your job so you don't miss out on any money.
|Life After a Layoff
|Keeping Health Coverage After a Job Loss
|What Happens if Your Employer Goes Broke
The size of your weekly benefit varies depending on the state and your previous income (the higher your income, the higher your benefit). In Maryland, for example, the weekly benefit ranges from $25 to $380. You apply for benefits in the state where you worked, even if you live in another state.
If you qualify, you normally receive your first check within three weeks of applying. But these are not normal times. More than 4.8 million people were collecting unemployment benefits in mid January, the highest number since the Department of Labor started keeping track of these figures in 1967.
State unemployment offices have been inundated with requests for payments, and it can be difficult to get through on the phone. Pennsylvania, for example, expanded its unemployment office's call-center hours (it now accepts calls on Sunday) and recommends calling on certain days based on your Social Security number. (Some state unemployment offices are adding staff -- making them great places to find work in this economy.)
To speed up the process, most states recommend that people file online rather than over the phone or in person. Use this unemployment benefits map for links to your state agency and its online claim form. Your state's unemployment-benefits Web page will also provide details on how to apply for benefits, how to file an appeal and what you need to do to maintain your eligibility.
Keep in mind that unemployment benefits are currently taxable, but taxes are not automatically withheld. You can elect to have taxes withheld from your checks, or you can set aside extra money so you aren't surprised by the tax bill later. And keep an eye on your state's unemployment-benefits Web site for updates -- several provisions in the federal stimulus bill could affect the length, terms and taxability of unemployment benefits.

|Introduction to Gender Studies
|Establishes a conceptual foundation for the GNDR minor by providing students with a broad-based understanding and analysis of gender and gender studies. Addresses issues relating to race, sexual orientation, class, multiculturalism, and men's and women's studies. This course serves as a Diversity LE course. (This class is a strongly suggested prerequisite for all other Gender Studies courses.)
|Special Topics
|Presents a number of special topics allowing students to explore a wide range of issues relevant to gender studies. Suggested prerequisite: GNDR 100. See list below for sample courses.
|American Women's History
|An overview of the economic, social, and political roles women have played in American history, from the colonial period to today. Investigates women's work in the household and market economies, women and the family, and women's legal and civil rights and liabilities across time. Offered alternate years. This course serves as a Diversity LE course.
|Gender, Power, and Identity
|Examines feminist theory, feminist criticism, or feminist approaches to philosophical inquiry.
|Psychology of Women
|An overview of major theories of women's development, applications of feminist theory, gender-related research, and women's health issues across the life span. Psychological issues important to women during childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age are discussed, such as gender role acquisition, pay inequities in the work force, adjustment to menopause and violence against women. Focus is given to research on women in relation to diverse socioeconomic classes, ethnic backgrounds and cultures. Prerequisite: PSYC 105 or SOC 105. This course serves as a Diversity LE course.
|Queer Theory
|Explores the field of queer theory, which has only been in existence since 1990. It is perhaps the most politicized of current cultural theories because of its implications for daily life: homophobia continues to be a very real problem in our society. Through readings of 19th and 20th century texts and films, we will trace changes in attitudes toward various forms of sexuality, focusing on how subjects constitute themselves as sexual beings. This course serves as a Diversity LE course.
|Sociology of Sexuality
|Students explore issues of maleness and femaleness. Emphasis is placed on identifying and evaluating value systems relating to sexuality. The impact of cultural definitions on individual behavior is also examined. Attention is directed toward societal ramifications of shifting roles with the intention of evaluating new alternatives open to men and women. A final emphasis is placed on understanding sexual functioning and different means of sexual expression.
|Gender in Society
|This course exposes students to the problematic concept of "gender", including the many ways in which society's organizations reinforce and shape gender relations, and the ways in which gender shapes our identity, relationships, and the division of labor in society. Using a feminist perspective and drawing on international authors, this course will focus on the concept of "gender" at the individual, interactional, and institutional levels.
|Race, Gender, Class, and the Media
|Focuses on analyzing the portrayals of race, gender, and class in the media. The class introduces students to theoretical concepts in contemporary media studies, surveys some of the most influential and interesting genres of contemporary media, and focuses on issues of gender and sexuality, class, and race from a critical perspective. This course serves as a Diversity LE course.
|Senior Project/Thesis
|Serves as the capstone course for the GNDR minor. Students undertake self-directed project or thesis that integrates concepts learned in gender studies courses with those learned in the student's major area of study. Project completed with a supervisory committee of two (at least one must be a gender studies faculty member). Prerequisite: completion of 20 hours of Gender Studies courses including GNDR 100. Note: Students whose major requires a senior project or thesis will not be expected to complete a second project or thesis. One thesis or project can count for both a major requirement and a gender studies requirement if students (1) select topics relevant to both gender studies and their majors and (2) work with a faculty advisor who teaches gender studies courses.
|Directed Studies
|A tutorial-based course used only for student-initiated proposals for intensive study of topics not otherwise offered in the Gender Studies Program. Hours are arranged. Prerequisite: consent of instructor and school dean.
|In order to emphasize the importance of experiential learning, this course offers students opportunities to integrate classroom knowledge with practical experience related to gender studies. Students must have junior or senior standing (for transfer students, at least 15 hours completed at Westminster or permission of instructor), minimum 2.5 GPA, and consent of Program Chair and Career Center internship coordinator.

Tuesday feels a lot Festivus these days. That's because each Tuesday brings another webisode of the "Stiller & Meara" show.
Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara are back with a funny new show on Yahoo, that's a lot more than just $#*! Ben's Parent Say.
The short segments, with the octogenarians bantering on a loveseat, have a bit of a "When Harry Met Sally" feel. But just when you think it's all sweetness and nostalgia, the duo tear off some great one-liners (and some airing of the grievances):
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
•Meara on Snooki: "She's like a munchkin. She has a big knob on the top of her head like a tumor." Stiller: "She's looking for her guido, that's all I know."
•Meara on whether Tony Curtis came onto her in acting school decades ago: "No, I still had my rosary beads wrapped around my legs."
•Stiller on the Internet: "Somebody invented Facebook? What kind of person would that be?"
You can almost hear echoes of Frank Costanza in his exasperation ("Serenity now!").
But Stiller and Meara are a far cry from the bickering Costanzas of "Seinfeld," the program Jerry Stiller probably is best known for in recent years. Stiller and Meara rose to prominence in the early 1960s as comedy team with their smart humor, built in part around that he's short and Jewish, she's tall and Irish Catholic – and that they clearly love one another amid all the teasing.
Even if Stiller and Meara take jabs at the Internet, they – and son Ben, who directs some the segments – recognize the web gives them a platform to reach an audience that wasn't born when they were wowing crowds everywhere from nightclubs to "The Ed Sullivan Show." ("I was going to join Spacebook, but too many of my friends are dead," quips Stiller.)
Some classic Sullivan clips are on the couple's website, which is quickly becoming our Tuesday habit. Go here and check out the videos posted so far – consider them Stiller and Meara's early Festivus present to us.

Red Flag Alert (stock could slip if this keeps up much longer)
Tyler Flowers, Charlotte (.206/.270/.324 1 HR, 2 BB, 12 K in 37 PA)
Jordan Danks, Charlotte (.156/.309/.222 9 BB, 19 K in 55 PA)
I'm lopping these two together because the story is the same: strikeouts. Each of them is striking out about one third of the time they step up to the plate. That's unacceptable. At least Danks is drawing walks. If you didn't already, it might be time to consider jumping ship soon.

Dealership Information
First Time Car Buying Experience
" Curtis was great! This was my first time buying a car and Curtis made the process so quick and easy. He went out of his way to find the best deal and get me exactly what I wanted. So happy!! "
Second Vehicle from Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad
" just bought my second car from these guys. I had the pleasure of working with Kevin and Jon Randall And I would highly recommend anyone if you're in the market for that Chevy to go in and talk to Jon he is one of the nicest honest and low pressure car salesman I've ever worked with. The whole team over at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad really went above and beyond. I had to leave my other car at the dealership for a few hours while I drive my new truck home and when I came back to the dealership later that day to my surprise Jon had my car washed clean and plugged in charging so that when I picked it up it had a full battery. That's what I call great customer service. I would highly recommend Jon, Kevin, and the whole team at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad to anyone who's looking for a great car buying experience. Thanks again guys. I love my truck! "
Hard Working
" Had a great experience here at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad buying my first Chevy vehicle. Was greeted by Frank Pedroza who showed me the truck I was interested in and took me out for a test drive. He was super helpful and accommodating. Frank worked very hard to get the best deal possible for me and made sure all my questions were answered and I was satisfied. I would encourage anyone looking for a new vehicle to see Frank at the dealership for assistance. "
Very Knowledgable
" Frank assisted me and provided me with detailed information about a truck. He Showed us around the dealer and was very knowledgeable. "
Such a Breeze
" Just bought a Malibu from Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad and Jon Randall made the whole purchase a breeze. John Minnesota in finance was a really nice guy and helped me figure out what I need on the car. "
Pleasure to Deal With
" Miguel H and the Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad crew was a pleasure to deal with. I in and out in about an hour with a brand new Bolt. This is how car dealers and the buying experience should be. Thank you guys! "
Very Nice
" Tyler was the salesman that helped, me and my wife purchase a car. Very nice guy, with a professional attitude. Explained every little detail, ans answer everyone of our questions. And the sales manager, also a great guy. Again, very nice and professional people. As a first time buyer, i had a great experience. Purchased a gmc Acadia. Definitely recommend buying there. "
Super Easy
" The team of Jon, John and Danny were awesome! If you're looking for a car and someone who will be on top of things, find Jon Randall. We negotiated electronically. Once we came to an agreement it was really easy. He'll take care of you! John and Danny took care of the finalizing paperwork and we were out of the dealership in no time. "
Made A Tough Situation Smooth
" My original vehicle purchase was with a different dealership and included an extended warranty I had added at the time of purchase. After two years of ownership I experienced my first major failure, the slave cylinder for my clutch failed. When my clutch slave cylinder failed I was closer to Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad, who graciously performed the necessary repairs. They could've said, "No your warranty is with the other dealership where you purchased the vehicle", but they didn't. Oscar Chavez advocated to the management on my behalf and saved me a lot of headaches. The cost to repair was covered except for the $100 deductible and parts and was to be finished in a week. I was given a rental while my vehicle was being repaired. They cleaned it up and returned it to me in better condition than I left it. Thank you to everyone at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad for making a tough situation very smooth and pleasant. And an extraThank you to Oscar Chavez for all your efforts. To anyone purchasing a new vehicle. I recommend adding the extended warranty to your vehicle purchase, it's money well spent as insurance for those unexpected strains on your wallet. "
Fantastic Experiences
" I can't say enough good things about this dealership. I have purchased 2 vehicles from them in the last year and both experiences were fantastic. They beat the price of every other dealership my wife and I set foot in, twice. The second time was the most impressive and what earned them a customer for life. We were upside down on a loan from a previous dealership. I spoke with Miguel at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad, told him what I wanted and what I needed the price to be. He worked HARD and got me exactly what I asked for. He even got me the Colorado I wanted with a few extra options on it! This most recent experience is similar to my previous experience with them and I can say with confidence. Do yourself a favor, save time and money and just go to Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad first! "
Exceptional Customer Service
" I scheduled an appointment over the phone and the young lady who answered made the process very easy and made me feel very comfortable. When, I arrived the service advisor Jaime, came out and greeted me and explain to me the whole process. He called me and let me know when my vehicle was ready within two hours. The whole SERVICE TEAM gave EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Will definitely be coming back! Awesome customer service!!! "
Above and beyond
" My Family and I had an amazing experience with the team at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad! Frank Pedroza was our salesman. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the best deals, he was very friendly and super nice with my family. I really recommend Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad dealership and ASK for Frank Pedroza he's the best "
Great Experience
" We had a great experience at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad, Dennis Arceo our Client Advisor did a great job for us start to finish! My wife is really excited with our High Country Traverse! Dennis was great to deal with, I don't like hassle at All and he honored that in our dealing. Sean Groves the Finance Service Advisor walked us through the paperwork and listened when we said no to different options. This is our second new vehicle purchase from Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad and I must say I am pleased to be a repeat customer! Driving away we felt very happy and excited which should be the way you feel when buying a Chevy! Thanks Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad, Dennis and Sean! "
Love this dealership
" We LOVED working with this dealership. Sadly we couldn't get our dream car transferred to their location so ultimately we chose another car, but Donovan was as helpful, honest, and straightforward as we could have ever asked for. Such a great guy and pleasure to work with. We were genuinely sad we couldn't give him the sale, but definitely will go back there next time we are looking for a car because they were so fair and honest with us. Highly recommend! "
Great Sales Team
" Tyler was the salesman that helped, me and my wife purchase a car. Very nice guy, with a professional attitude. Explained every little detail, ans answer everyone of our questions. And the sales manager, also a great guy. Again, very nice and professional people. As a first time buyer, i had a great experience. Purchased a gmc Acadia. Definitely recommend buying there "
Fast & Easy
" After having asked 3 other dealers to find the Chevy Volt I wanted, I didn't have high expectations for Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad, however, Curtis Cheely completely surprised me. He not only found d the exact car others told me I would have to special order, he did so in less than 24 hours. By the time I arrived at the dealership, he had all papers ready to sign and the car sitting outside, ready for me to drive away. This was by far the easiest and fastest car purchase ever (and I've purchased several cars!). Thanks to Curtis for being super responsive, professional, friendly and for getting me the car I wanted. "
Extremely Happy
" I was extremely happy with the service I received from the parts & service department at Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad from my initial call on Friday through the call to let me know things were complete on Saturday. Jamie was friendly & knowledgeable. The whole atmosphere of the service area is friendly. It is large & open with many providers, all attentive. This is great contrast to most service areas where there is a line of attendants, all looking down at their computers & seeming not to notice you. It is my daughter who owns a Chevy, but I feel like getting one just to go to this service area! Great job! "
Great Service
" Great Service, reasonable rates, and I trust what work they do. There sales are just as good. Maybe, that is the reason in the past 4.5 years, i have bought 2 new cars from them. "
Super Impressed
" I was very pleased to find the exact Sonic I was looking for! I was helped by a salesman named David who answered all of my questions and happily took me for a test drive when I arrived at the dealership. I was super impressed with the vehicle after the test drive and am so happy I get to drive it every day as my own! I highly recommend this dealership and look forward to future visits! "
Thank You Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad!
" I had my car cleaned and detailed here and I have to say it was an amazing experience. Ralph was great and easy to work with. He took the time to hear out all my needs before working quickly and efficiently. My car hasn't looked this good since I drove it off new the day I bought it. Thank you Premier Chevrolet of Carlbad for taking such good care of me and my car. I will be back again. "
