I've been using a 7 day free trial for Footnote to try to find some missing Forgeys. I've found some very useful and interesting info. I have tried to assemble complete family groups for the Forgey families who settled in Tennessee. I believe I have identified a grandson , John Forgey, of Andrew Forgey and Margaret Reynolds. I found a John Forgey and Polly listed in New Providence Church records. They disappear from Hawkins County, TN after the 1840 Census. They seemed to have had a large family is 1840. I found a John Forga and Mary Forga family in Marshall County, MS and their family seemed to match the Hawkins County family as far as number of males and females. This family bounced back and forth between Shelby County, TN and nearby Marshall County, MS. Using Footnote I found 3 sons of John and Mary Forgey who served during the Civil War. One son, J. W. Forgey, does not appear on the 1850 Census. I believe that he might be a son of their's anyway? John T. does appear so he is more than likely their son. W. H. also appears to have served; he does not appear with them on the 1850 Census either; but is also more than likely a son of John and Mary.The sons not appearing with John and Mary in 1850 were over twenty years old.
Hope to nail for certain whether this Shelby County, TN family was from Hawkins County, TN. If J. W. Forgey was John and Mary's son, then I may have identified 4 out of the 5 males listed in the 1840 Census?
J. T. Forgey was killed at the Civil War battle of Stone Creek, TN on 31 Dec 1862. The W.H. survived his service. No further info about J. W. during or after the war? Unfortunately no places of birth provided on their Civil War documents.
Made a surprise find in the Civil War records. My ancestor Andrew Forgey's nephew John Forgey, son of Archibald, served as a Farrier in the Civil War. He served in the 5th Tennessee Calvary Company D. Those who served in this Company were from the Clinch River area of TN and VA. They were called the Clinch Mountain Rangers. He died in February 1862. Apparently he was taken from Morristown, TN to his residence Scott County, VA where he died.. John's son Andrew was apparently held prisoner during the Civil War and released in 1865,

This post is part of a series of posts regarding illustrations adorning manuscript and print Haggadot. Our first post dealt with a new work on the topic and can be viewed here. In this post we will focus upon the some of the Halachik implications of these illustrations.
In many Ashkenazic manuscripts, the Passover illustrations begin chronologically earlier than the Seder. Many begin with the preparation of the matzah. For example, in the Second Nuremberg Haggadah[1], (the manuscript is online here) a 15th century Ashkenazic haggadah, contains ten scenes devoted to the matzah process. A similar haggadah, likely illustrated by the same artist, also includes numerous matzah baking scenes. All of these, however, begin with the bringing of the grain to the miller. This is in contrast to today's practice whereby the matzah producing process begins earlier, with the cutting of the wheat.
(All images may be clicked for larger viewing.)
That is, for many today, matzah shmurah means shmurah (watched) from the time of harvest and not from the time of grinding. But, in reality the reason for the illustrations beginning where these haggadot do, is simply because they reflect the practice in Ashkenaz, based upon the R. Ya'akov ben Asher, the author of the Tur, that only from the time of grinding is it necessary to "watch" the grain. Matzah Shmurah in Ashkenaz in the medieval period meant grain which had been watched from the time of grinding not cutting.[2]
Turning to a Sefardic custom, the Barcelona Haggadah, produced after 1350, is the earliest record of the custom to place the Seder Plate on someone's head during the recitation of Ha Lahma Ania (Ashkenazim remove the plate from the table).
Only some three hundred years later is this custom mentioned in printed sources. Additionally, there is a difference between the Sefardic and Ashkenazic haggadot regarding what the Seder Plate actually was, with the Ashkenaz depicting a plate, whereas the Sefardic manuscripts depict a basket.[3]
When it comes to marror and what vegetable that is, we have at least two different types depicted in various manuscripts. In the Brother to the Rylands Haggadah, marror is depicted as an artichoke, as is in the case with the Sarajevo Haggadah.
While in many manuscripts, marror is a leafy vegetable.[4]
Setting aside the issue of what marror is, another custom related to marror can be found in both printed and manuscript haggadot. In the Prague, 1526, the first illustrated printed haggadah, there is a picture of a man pointing at his wife with the legend, "there is a custom that a man points to his wife when mentioning marror based upon the verse Ecclesiastes 7:26 "Now I find woman more bitter than death."
A.Y. Hyman the scholar of Jewish liturgy was appalled when he came across this. In his autobiography, he claims that there is no basis whatsoever for this "custom." Hyman is wrong.[5] If you look at the Brother to the Rylands Haggadah you can see that it shows this custom. As does the Washington Haggadah.
Likewise, the Rothschild Miscellany shows the same custom.
It's worth noting that the Rothschild Miscellany shows another custom at the time, mid-14th century, that of mixed dancing.
The mixed dancing is that of couples, husband and wives dancing with each other, and not that of unmarried men and women dancing[6] In Italy, where this manuscript was composed, mixed dancing was apparently common during this period.[7]
Returning to the gesturing at one's wife at marror, in the Hiluq and Biluq Haggadah this custom takes on a somewhat more humorous dialogue with the wife no longer passive but instead returns the compliment. In that haggadah it includes speech balloons and they record the following: The husband states "touching marror I must recall that this one, too is bitter [as gall]." To which the wife replies, "It is you [my husband] is one of the causes of bitterness as well." After which, we have a play on the 13 attributes of Rabbi Yishmael and the haggadah provides that "the third comes between them [perhaps the marror itself] and makes a stink" - or in Hebrew ve-yavo ha-shlishei ve-yakhriach benehem.[8]
Similarly, in some Ashkenazic haggadot manuscripts, they show the the husband and wife pointing at one another.[9]
Finally we get to a halachik error in a manuscript haggadah. The Washington Haggadah was written by a scribe calledJoel ben Simon. This haggadah was first printed as part of the Diskin Orphan House haggadah series in 1965. The Library of Congress didn't publish its facsimile edition until 1991, and last year another facsimile edition of this haggadah was published as well.[10] Although this haggadah was written close to 300 years prior to Diskin publishing it, until that time a significant scribal error escaped notice. Specifically, in the text for eruv tavshilin rather than just saying "with this eruv I am allowed to cook from Yom Yov for Shabbat," it continues and says "and on Shabbat for Yom Tov."
Needless to say this did not escape the eagle eyes of some who feared that someone may use this haggadah (we note that contrary to the other reproductions mentioned, the Diskin version is a poor copy) and inadvertently think it is permissible to cook on Shabbat. So, the ever wise Aggudat ha-Rabbonim took out ads in the Yiddish daily, Der Tag, and the Forward to let its readers know of this error. The publishers took this one step further and mailed out a letter, with the provocative title, "Heresy or Blunder," after Passover indicating the error and also included a letter from Cecil Roth, who had written about manuscript haggadot.
In his letter he indicates that indeed this was most likely inadvertent and that Joel did not have a different tradition regarding eruv tavshilin. Indeed, we know from Joel's other manuscripts, where he records the correct blessing, that the Washington Haggadah's version was simply a scribal error.
This is not the only error related to halakha and haggadah illustrations. R. S.H. Kook, criticizes two aspects of illustrations that appear in the Prague 1526 Haggadah. Both of these issues center around how the wine glass is depicted. Specifically, he takes issue with the fact that in many of the illustrations show the wine glass in the left hand and not the right. Additionally, he complains that the illustration show the holder grasping the glass at the stem and not at with his fingers cupping the bottom of the glass.
Regarding the first issue, that of left handedness, this anomaly may be attributed to the fact that this was the first completely illustrated woodcut haggadah. And, as it was the first, it was not necessarily perfectly executed. But, before we continue we must digress and explain about woodcuts in order to get to the left handedness. A woodcut when inked and put on paper produces a mirror image of whatever the woodcut depicts. Thus, if the woodcut was of a right hand, when pressed on paper would produce a left handed image. Additionally, when copies were made, the copyist were not careful and would reverse the images. That is, they were working off the printed image and would copy it directly rather than accounting for reversing the image to ensure that when it was used it would produce the same and not a mirror image. So, as has been explained, during the early history of woodcuts "copies [of woodcuts] were constantly being made, with or without leave, for copyright hardly existed, and the same printer would often have to replace worn cuts by new blocks in successive editions. It is not always an easy task to distinguish copy from original. Immediately recognizable as from different blocks are subjects which appear in reverse directions, for the copyist who does not take the trouble to reverse his drawing from the original print, will make a block that will print the subject reversed."[11] We can now explain why the images are left handed, presumably, they were copied and the woodcutter was not careful to reverse the image, thus producing a left handed image.
As an aside, another example of copying which reverses the images may be seen when the Prague 1526 Haggadah was itself used as a model for a woodcut. The border surrounding Shefokh was reused in the Levush. As is apparent, the images are that appear on the right in the Prague 1526 Haggadah appear on the left in the Levush. And, those on the left appear on the right.
Regarding the second point, the failure to cup the glass rather than grasp the stem, this can be attributed to an error on R. Kook's part and not the woodcutter. While today it may be commonplace to cup the glass, this was only popularized by R. Yeshaya Horowitz, in his book, Shnei Luchot ha-Brit, (Shelah). R. Horowitz wasn't born when the Prague 1526 Haggadah was printed - he lived between 1565-1630. Moreover, his book was published posthumously, in 1648, more than 120 after the Prague 1526 Haggadah was published. Thus, it is unremarkable that the Prague 1526 Haggadah failed to account for a custom that didn't exist at that time. This is another example of why bibliography is important, for other examples see here.
Finally, we conclude this part of the series regarding halachot and Passover in general, and specifically, the notion that on Passover we are stricter than normal. At times it appears that some go overboard with the various humrot on Passover as well as cleaning all sorts of items that seemingly don't require cleaning. But, from the evidence of manuscript illustrations, this notion of stringency is not a new one. The Golden Haggadah, circa 1320, includes this very nice image of cleaning and searching for leaven. If one looks closely they will note that the woman on the left is apparently sweeping the ceiling! Thus, indicating that perhaps going overboard has been the case for some while. Also of note is that the father is performing bedikat hametz and he is bareheaded (as is the son).[12]
[1] Its title is a reference to the fact that from the mid-nineteenth century until 1957 it was housed in Nuremberg, after which it moved to the Schocken Library, and then to a private collector. The reason it is the the Second, is because Nuremberg also had another manuscript haggadah - now known as the First Nuremberg Haggadah. It too is no longer in Nuremberg. Today it is in the Israel Museum.

We note that while this article provides a summary of some of the images and text accompanying medieval haggadot, the article provides little context for various practices. Indeed, the article fails to provide sources which support many of the illustrations and texts and instead merely parrots what the the manuscripts say or depict.

Volunteers are searching thick scrub on the Sunshine Coast for a teenager missing since early Saturday morning.
Police and more than 40 SES volunteers are involved in the search for the teenager who was last seen at 12.30am (AEST) on Saturday.
"They are searching the Buderim Forest Park. It's very thick scrub and bush in that area," a police spokesman told AAP.
Media reports say clothes belonging to Dylan Daure, 19, have been found at a Sunshine Coast primary school.
A staff member at the Buderim Tavern has told The Courier-Mail Mr Daure was there on Friday night, and CCTV footage had been handed to police.
Police say Mr Daure's lack of contact with his family is out of character and there are concerns for his safety.
He's described as Pacific Islander in appearance with a solid build, approximately 186cm tall with short dark hair.
Police want to talk to anyone who may have seen him in the vicinity of Burnett Street, where the tavern is located.

A little announcement...
We're doing some home improvement so I won't be baking (or posting) for the next week. In the meantime, I'll leave you with my miniature vanilla cupcakes with Nutella frosting.
Every baker needs versatile recipes that can be adapted and used in a pinch. When it comes to cupcakes, I like using the same base cupcake recipe from the triple ginger cupcakes I posted last month. I simply omitted the ginger, spices and lemon and increased my vanilla extract. I frosted these with an American style vanilla buttercream with a tiny bit of Nutella mixed in. (I apologize for not posting a recipe for the frosting, but I don't have the exact amounts I used. I sort of threw it together until I liked the flavor and consistency.)
Vanilla Cupcakes
4 ounces (1 cup + 3 tbsp) sifted cake flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp baking powder
6 tbsp (3 ounces) unsalted butter, softened at room temp.
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup sour cream
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 30 wells of a miniature cupcake pan with paper cupcake liners.
Sift together cake flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside dry ingredients.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla extract and beat for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in one-third of the flour mixture. Fold in half of the sour cream. Repeat ending with the last third of the flour mixture.
Fill the prepared wells of the mini muffin pan approximately three-quarters full. Bake until light golden brown and cupcake springs back when lightly pressed, about 16-20 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to cooling rack. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before topping with your favorite frosting.

As of 3:40 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 124 points, or 0.77%, to 15845, the S&P 500 fell 20 points, or 1.1%, to 1783 and the Nasdaq Composite slid 54.8 points, or 1.4%, to 4006.
It's been a fairly quiet week on Wall Street, with no major economic reports out. That gave traders cover to lock-in gains from this year before the Federal Reserve's policy-setting meeting next week. Volatility, as tracked by the CBOE's VIX, surged 10% to its highest level in two months.
However, lawmakers on Capitol Hill could shake things up. Leaders in the House and Senate crafted a two-year budget deal that would stave off another government shutdown in January. The pact would need to be approved by both chambers.
Still, Peter Boockvar, chief market strategist at The Lindsey Group, said investors are somewhat numb to action in the nation's capital.
"The yawn of a response in markets to the budget deal, which still has to get passed, points to two things," he wrote in an email. "Number one, it was extremely modest and two, markets assumed we wouldn't repeat October."
On the corporate front, MasterCard (NYSE:MA) revealed a 10-for-one stock split and boosted its dividend by 83%. Shares of the credit card processor rallied on the news.
In commodities, U.S. crude oil futures slipped 8 cents, or 0.09%, to $98.42 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 0.88% to $2.659 a gallon. Gold dropped $6.60, or 0.52%, to $1,254 a troy ounce.

It's Time to Mobilize: 5 Tips for Designing Email for MobileCarly Brantz
You've seen the headlines. The smartphone market is growing by leaps and bounds with some predicting that mobile web usage will exceed the traditional web within just a few years. There is no channel where mobile matters more than email. Return Path predicts that by the end of 2012 more email will be read on mobile devices that via traditional browsers or computers. If you send email it is imperative that you provide a compelling experience on mobile phones.
Here some quick tips to consider:
- Slim down. By this we mean the overall width of your HTML email. Most email templates are designed for a standard desktop with a set HTML width of about 600 pixels. This is too wide for most phones – and could result in performance killing horizontal scrolling.
- Clean tags. If you're using CSS go back to basic HTML and make sure to take advantage of the ALT tag for all your images. Some mobile email readers won't automatically download images when the email is opened so you need to be ready.
- Friendly from. Make sure your from line is instantly recognizable with your brand name and not some generic email address or department name. We talked about the importance of a friendly from line in our recent post on open rates.
- Easy to share. A simple call-to-action with a relevant offer combined with easy sharing features are important. Make sure your action buttons are large enough for a user to easily tap to convert.
- Safe landing. You've put all this effort into optimizing your email for mobile so don't ruin it by sending your subscribers to a landing page that is not mobile-ready. Your landing page should look as good (or better) on a phone that it does on a standard browser. This means following some of the same rules above regarding page width plus keeping the content brief and easy to digest for subscribers on the go.
With SendGrid's transactional email template engine, users can create custom email templates and preview the layout on mobile and desktop to ensure your email fits these criteria.

Dear Dr. Don, I owe about $30,000 in student loans. I'm only two months into paying these bills, and I am finding it a little overwhelming. Already, I've lowered my monthly repayment plan, and I've cut my monthly spending habits to a minimum. What else can I do to better manage these loans? I don't want to be paying forever.
Continue Reading Below
-- Katie Collegian
Dear Katie, If you have federally guaranteed student loans (instead of private student loans), you may have consolidation options that reduce the size and number of payments. Consolidation options are not as easy to structure with private student loans.
Also, you may want to check out a new loan program called the Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan. It was created for eligible Direct Loan Program borrowers in December 2012. If you qualify for this loan program, it can reduce your monthly payments.
And if you haven't done so already, see if your lender offers an interest rate reduction for automatic debits. It'll keep you from missing loan payments, and it'll cut down on your interest expenses.
Your income should outgrow these tight times in your monthly budget. When you can free up the funds, consider making additional principal payments on the loans. If you can do so, you'll cut your interest payments and be in a much better position to pay off those loans.

Amber Alert Canceled for Philly Brothers
An early morning Amber Alert has been canceled for two boys from suburban Philadelphia after they were found, safe, outside a CVS on Staten Island.
The boys were traveling with their father, Keith Belajonas, who is accused of killing his wife early Thursday morning in Drexel Hill according to ABC 7.
Belajonas was found dead a short time after the boys were found on Staten Island with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound according to Superintendent Michael Chitwood of the Upper Darby, Pa. police.
Pennsylvania State Police issued the alert early Thursday morning in the belief Belajonas was headed for for the New York City area with their two children, Robert and Christopher.
Police came to the home of Christina Belajonas and found her dead from a shot to the head and multiple stab wounds. A neighbor reported seeing Keith leave with the boys.
Chitwood said police were investigating whether Keith Belajonas was responsible for a posting on a social media site about a dispute with the victim.
"Had an argument with her. She was cheating on me. I won," the Facebook posting said, according to Chitwood.

Pizza Hut Menu Now Includes Pizza With Crust Made of Stuffed Cones
The new Cone Crust Pizza from Pizza Hut-- with a crust made of 12 calzone-like cones stuffed with either cream cheese, honey mustard chicken, or both -- really is the perfect dish to push the US obesity rate over the illusive 75% mark. But, alas, it's only available in the Middle East.
Perhaps Pizza Hut is just testing the food Frankenstein overseas and it will soon reach our shores. Or maybe it is part of an effort to win the hearts and minds of folks in the embattled region by giving them the best American culture has to offer. "Sorry about that anti-Islam movie, here, like us again."
We are a bit worried about the honey mustard/tomato sauce taste combination. Although, there was a time when we were reluctant to dip a slice of pizza into ranch dressing but now that's what many Americans call breakfast.

2012 Melges 24 World Championship - Last Hours Of Quiet Before The Battle Begins
29 July 2012
With the end of the last practice race, the official training for the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship, organised by Circolo Vela Torbole and the International Melges 24 Class Association, is complete.
The 129 boats, representing 22 Countries and 4 Continents, were able to familiarise themselves with the race course and the unique features of Garda Trentino. The practise days have been useful to allow the teams to refine their tunings, to completing the measurement procedures and to start to build the adrenaline, which will hit its first high when the crews leave the dock tomorrow morning to begin the chase for points to count towards the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship.
The action will begin in earnest at noon tomorrow with the first of the opening day's two planned races. The schedule allows for a total of twelve races with the series being split into an initial six race round robin series, where the fleet will be split into four groups with each group racing the others twice. Once the sixth race has been sailed a discard will be allowed and the points awarded so far will define the Gold and Silver Fleet. With the fleet then split into Gold and Silver six more races are scheduled to decide both the Overall title and the equally prestigious Corinthian champion.
Victory in the Melges 24 World Championship is already recognised as one of the most prestigious achievements possible in keelboat sailing: the Melges 24 World Championship 2012 sets new records and the numbers prove it. At last night's beautiful opening ceremony, the Chairman of the International Class, Riccardo Simoneschi, underlined the record entry saying, "I think the record numbers of the entry list are the best response to the choice of Torbole as venue of the Melges 24 Worlds 2012. The effort of the Circolo Vela Torbole and the unprecedented enthusiasm of the owners have turned this event into one of the leading ISAF regattas for 2012".
Simoneschi, who concluded his speech by thanking everyone involved in planning the regatta, encouraged all the competitors to show the best of their abilities in one of the most beautiful one design boats in the world.
Opening the ceremony was Gianfranco Tonelli, President of the Circolo Vela Torbole, who then handed over to Ennio Bertolini, the mayor of Nago Torbole, to welcome the competitors to the region. Chairman of the Race Committee, Hank Stuart, then took the stage together with the technical staff that will help him to manage the sporting event.
Finally, after a sumptuous buffet accompanied by fine wines offered by TrentoDoc, the nearly one thousand in attendance enjoyed a breathtaking fireworks show: twenty-five minutes of fireworks, shot from a barge moored off Torbole's front water, were framed by the more than one hundred masts of the Melges 24 fleet floating in Circolo Vela Torbole.
Tonight the Race Committee will announce the draw to define the four groups for the round robin series. And following this no doubt discussion over dinner will be all about the tactical considerations and those thoughts typical of sailors on the eve of a truly special regatta.
Events like the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship are not possible without the most generous support of the event sponsors led by the Municipality of Comune di Nago Torbole and including the Regional Authority of Trentino; TrentoDoc, partner of Circolo Vela Torbole whose excellent selection of sparkling wines will be enjoyed by all; Trentingrana, whose cheese is made using milk exclusively from the Trentino area; InGarda, the touristic company supporting visitors to Lark Garda; and technical sailing clothing supplier Marinepool.
Organised by Circolo Vela Torbole in collaboration with the International Melges 24 Class Association, the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship will count a maximum of twelve races, with up to three daily races. Five races are required to made the event valid, although the famous weather conditions, typical of the northern Garda, should make this rule unnecessary.

Changing the world begins in the classroom
Pruden Scholar Katie Schwizer paves way for future leaders
By Tyler McAvoy ('12)
As students rushed to the front of the classroom Katie Schwizer ('09, '10M) second guessed her decision. The middle-school aged students fought to get their hands on the valuables that lay before them; a pile of books, donated by JMU alumni and staff members. While teaching during her Study Abroad in South Africa, Schwizer set the books in front of the class. She didn't expect such a reaction.
"We immediately regretted our decision as our students ran to the front, pushing and shoving to get a book that was a prize possession to them," says Schwizer. "They reminded me just how valuable education is in our world."
The students' reactions fueled the passion that Schwizer already had for education. At an early age, she dreamed of becoming an educator, practicing her poise in front of an imaginary classroom with stuffed animals as students. "Over the years, my bedroom actually transformed into a high-tech classroom, equipped with an overhead projector, marker board, podium and all of the other necessities to teach my 'students,'" recalls Schwizer.
"Katie is the most outstanding young woman I think I've had the privilege of working with in 30 years," says Peggy Shaeffer, associate dean of the College of Education. "She's a young woman with a future."
Now a fourth-grade teacher at Berkeley Glenn Elementary School in Waynesboro, Va., Schwizer has taken much from her Study Abroad teaching experience in South Africa. It has affirmed the importance of an education and being an educator: "It's my responsibility to pave the way for our future leaders," she says. "My students will one day grow up and succeed in our world because of what they have learned in my classroom."

About the Book :
Indian Pharmacopoeia 2007, 3 Vols. with One Supplement (Addendum 2008)
This new edition of the Indian Pharmacopoeia entitled Indian Pharmacopoeia 2007 has been prepared by the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) in accordance with a plan and completed through the untiring efforts of its members and its Secretariat over a period of about two years. This is the fifth edition of the Indian Pharmacopoeia after independence. It supersedes the 1996 edition but any monograph of the earlier edition that does not figure in this edition continues to be official as stipulated in the second schedule of the drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. The Indian Pharmacopoeia 2007 is presented in three volumes. Volume I contains the general notices, preface, the structure of the IPC, acknowledgements, introduction, and the general chapters. Volume 2 deals with the general monographs on drug substances, dosage forms and pharmaceutical aids (A to M). Volume 3 Contains Monographs on drug substances, dosage forms and pharmaceutical aids (N to Z) followed by monographs on vaccines and immunosera for human use, herbs and herbal products, blood and blood related products, biotechnology products and veterinary products. The scope of the pharmacopoeia has been extended to include products of biotechnology, indigenous herbs and herbal products, viral vaccines and additional antiretroviral drugs and formulations, inclusive of commonly used fixed-dose combinations. Standards for veterinary drugs and products that were published as a supplement to the previous edition of the Indian pharmacopoeia now form an integral part of this compendium. In an effort to make the pharmacopoeia more user-friendly, a drastic change has been made in the design of the texts of the monographs and of the test methods. Cross-referencing has been a avoided to make each monograph complete in itself thus making it convenient to the analyst performing the tests and to the ones checking the results of analyses. The multiplicity of fonts in the texts that was feature of earlier editions has been done away with making it easier to read the contents and ensuring uniformity of presentation of the subject matter. To assure the health care professionals patients and consumers of the standards of drug in India the Secretary, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Shri Naresh Dayal who is also the Chairman of Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission released the Addendum 2008 to the Indian Pharmacopoeia (IP) 2007. The Addendum contains amendments to IP 2007 and adds 73 new monographs on different therapeutic groups representing synthetic, herbals and biological drugs. While the amendments to the IP 2007 will come into force with immediate effect, the new monographs will become effective from 1st July 2009 (ISBN : 8190343653)

Scholars in Schools
The Scholars in Schools (SIS) program is a collaboration of faculty at the University of Houston and teachers in varying disciplines from secondary schools throughout the Houston area and Texas at large. Professors are paired with teachers based on requested lecture topics tailored to the teachers' curriculum. Professors visit the teachers' class, giving either a single lecture or developing a more extensive relationship with the teacher and class, leading to subsequent school visits.
The purpose of this program is to introduce Houston-area high school students to college professors and college-level interactive discussions. By building relationships with the more than 150 high schools in Houston and the surrounding areas, the Honors College aims to support teachers in their efforts to prepare students for college.
As high school teachers guide their students through specific texts or subject matter that they have assigned, a professor in the Honors College will offer expertise on the text through a shared and open discussion that challenges high school students to think deeply and analytically.
Scholars in Schools offers opportunities for high school students to interact with Honors professors who specialize in a variety of areas, including English literature, political philosophy, holocaust history, politics and elections, Texas history, and ethics and medicine. In addition to the Honors professors, SIS can also bring talented and accomplished alumni of the Honors College and internationally renowned speakers to visit with Houston-area high school students. Finally, we also have enthusiastic staff and faculty available to talk about the "Keys to College Success" and "Inside the College Application Process."

Dana Harris needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 219 designs submitted by 85 freelance designers.
All About Eat [tagline: Great Food Found Here.]
All About Eat will launch as a blog, but another half-dozen products will roll out thereafter including a newsletter, Q&A and directory. This logo would be used across all media, including promotional material for stores and products featured on the site. Initial launch is LA, but will go to other cities and states. I love great food, but really hate the preciousness that can come with that culture. I'm an online exec and currently part of startup incubator Founder Institute; a former journalist, chef, restaurant critic and food writer; I vowed a long time ago that I wouldn't spend my career trying to craft synonyms for "delicious" and "yummy."
I think All About Eat will speak to an audience that doesn't need or want the frills on a lamb chop -- they're smart, well educated and relatively sophisticated. Specialty food is a big business, somewhere north of $63 billion, and the people who visit my site will also go to Chowhound, Epicurious and Saveur. The site will include restaurants, food products and tableware.
I see three parts to the logo; they can be used together or independently.
1. Site name: All About Eat
2. Tagline: Great Food Found Here.
3. Image: TBD. I would like a food-related graphic to be incorporated into the logo.
I like clean lines and colors that pop. The website's colors are muted; I think the logo is a chance to bring color into the product. [See attached .pdf]
And, as it happens, the outline in the 99D sample brief largely hits close to home.
1. No cartoons - I want it to be playful, but not cheap or childlike
2. Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being fancy. I want people to feel like this is a trusted source for great food (from hot dogs to foie gras) and the kind of site that they want to make a regular part of their week.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. It should stand out, but not be too fancy.
Hope this is enough to get started, but I'm more than happy to answer questions.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

The Farther Shore by Matthew Eck
Before reading The Farther Shore, I wondered about why it needed to be a novel -- why, in these memoir-sodden days of ours, would a writer choose fiction when he could probably have gotten more money and notice by writing about his own experiences? I became a bit skeptical of the fiction, because there were many possible pits it could fall into: politics and polemics overcoming the alternate sort of experience fiction offers; a glorification of the battlefield; all sorts of sentimentality -- the men from various backgrounds who start out distrustful and end up bonded as brothers in blood, or, alternately, the sentimentalism of so much of Hemingway: the hyper-masculine matter-of-fact tone that can't hide the drip of how tough-and-yet-noble it is to be guys being guys. And then there was Africa, which causes even more of my hang-ups to rattle their hangers. It's an unfair prejudice, but I rarely read books about Americans going to Africa. That continent has for too long been used as a literary device for otherness, and I think it's time to read literature by Africans and let them tell their stories for a while. (If we need a place for exoticization, let's use Europe, instead, since European literature has a long and vivid history to counteract our fumbling representations, and there's less chance of doing damage, less chance of our inadvertent, best-intentioned stereotypes propping up a master narrative of dehumanization.)
All of which is just to say that I read and enjoyed The Farther Shore, and if I was able to do that through all the distorting lenses of my biases, then it's clearly got something going on.
A few different things saved The Farther Shore for me. First, the compression of its narrative. This is a very short novel: 173 pages of somewhat large type and pages with a comfortable amount of white space (it's a nicely designed book). It is full of events, but the writing is not that of a novel all about its plot. The plot happens to the characters, and that's part of what the whole book is about, the gravitational force of events. The narrator's life is one where again and again everything changes in less time than it takes for consciousness to catch up. The words don't try to explain it all for us, they don't slow down to let us have a more reflective experience than the characters get. And yet they are more reflective, the words on the page, because the narrator is looking back -- looking back and still wondering what happened.
This is not, then, a novel about Americans going to Africa and getting lots of difficult experience and hard-won knowledge, though their experiences of being separated from their unit and wandering through hostile and indifferent territories is certainly quite difficult. Nor is it the Heart of Darkness Africa where everything's a symbol of metaphysical blight. It's more like a Werner Herzog movie, where people from one world go to another world and moments of comprehension are few. In a sentimental story such moments would be precious and valued and trascendent, but in a more honest tale such as this one, they do nothing so much as highlight how much disconnection there is.
There is strangeness at the heart of the book, too, as the landscape gets sparer and the narrator and his fellow lost boys wander aimless and wounded through senseless ruins. People become little more than objects and stimuli, and I don't think I will soon forget a scene where the narrator is numbly cruel to a little girl. "You never know where to stand in a war," he says in one of the book's most quotable sentences -- and its own quotability, the fine bite of its sound, the pregnant possibilities of its implications, tells us much about where the narrator has gotten to at that point: it's no coincidence that that sentence comes only a few pages after this passage:
"I bet they'll make a movie about us," Zeller said. His face was thin and pale by now, and his eyes were sunk deep in their sockets, surrounded by dark shadows. He'd lost a lot of weight. We all had. I wondered what I looked like. Maybe like a hero.And so reality gets mediated, and men who have grown up on images of war get battered by war themselves, and in their struggle to enunciate all they have seen and done, they fall back on what they know, seeking a way to fit their lives into a comfortable three-act structure with rising actions and climaxes and good guys making it out okay after struggle and hardship, their actions paved over with swagger.
"They'll make a movie about us," said Santiago, "made for TV."
We all laughed.
After a while Santiago said, "I wonder if they'll include the kids we killed?"
I wondered what I looked like. Maybe like a hero.
Or maybe not.
I wonder if they'll include the kids we killed.
The novel falters -- perhaps inevitably -- at the end, because once everything has been in extremis there's hardly anywhere else to go. I kept wishing there were a way it could end with the haunting scenes of an abandoned train, rotting on rails going nowhere, an image that becomes, for the characters, something more concrete: a place of rest. I started rewriting the novel in my mind after that point, which is utterly unfair to it, but I'm a playwright at heart and it was such a wonderful set that I wanted it to be the one we stayed with, a variation on Joanne Akalaitis's staging of Beckett's Endgame in a post-apocalypse subway car. Mostly, I just didn't like the last few sentences, which tinkled in my ears like lines from a country song.
It's the imagery that makes this book more than something predictable or familiar, because the ordinary and sometimes cliche-spattered sentences of the soldiers gain, every few pages, some twist or turn to move the language beyond the immediately familiar (though it never, for better or worse, becomes estranging. The imagery is sometimes that of dreams or nightmares, but dreams or nightmares based in a known world, comprehensible. Is this a strength or a flaw? More limitation, I think, or maybe, again, a bias of mine: I like to see the deformation of words alongside the deformation of consciousness.)
Ultimately, this is not a book about Africa at all, which is probably for the best -- it's a book about a person caught by chaos, and chaos knows no geography, but settles wherever it can find some ground. It's a cousin to the reveries of The Short-Timers and Apocalypse Now, but more staid and stoic, with a narrator who observes more than he participates in the whole dream -- even his actions seem separate from his observations, and the effect is the same as what (in completely different circumstances and a completely different work of art) Dr. Dorn in Chekhov's Seagull says is the effect of alcohol: "...your true 'self' fades away and you start seeing yourself in the third person."
The farther shore of the title has various implications, but perhaps in addition to the implications of that image as it is used in the novel there is another one -- an image of a man looking out across the ocean for a self he can no longer distinguish from the horizon and the waves.

Who Does Your Personal Grooming? [FBHW]
Everyone has their own grooming practices. Some people will only groom visible hair, others will completely remove all the hair from their bodies. Cosmopolitan recently published an article claiming that a lot of a man's grooming is conducted by a girlfriend or spouse. They stated that 49% of women trim or pluck a man's nose hairs, 38% trim or pluck his ear hair, and 23% scrape dead skin off his feet. Who are these women?

Post ombudsman: Kurtz's CNN work is an "inescapable conflict that is at odds with" paper's rules
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander's November 1 column:
The Post's Howard Kurtz, arguably the nation's premier media writer, for many years has hosted the Sunday morning CNN press program "Reliable Sources." He often is criticized by bloggers and readers because he's paid by CNN, which he also covers.
Kurtz, a workhorse of a reporter, has a sizable following in print, online and on the air. But being paid by CNN presents an inescapable conflict that is at odds with Post rules. They state that a reporter or editor "cannot accept payment from any person, company or organization that he or she covers." There can be exceptions for some groups, such as broadcast organizations, "unless the reporter or editor is involved in coverage of them."
Kurtz, the Post media writer since 1990, got approval to appear on "Reliable Sources" about 15 years ago from then-Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr.
"My track record makes clear that I've been as aggressive toward CNN -- and The Washington Post, for that matter -- as I would be if I didn't host a weekly program there," Kurtz said. He discloses his CNN affiliation at the end of his columns and relevant news stories for The Post. And he's identified with The Post on "Reliable Sources."
Still, would The Post allow a reporter who covers energy to be paid on the side by a big oil company?
CNN removes criticism of Dobbs from interview; will WaPo's Howard Kurtz cover story?
If only bloggers had the Washington Post's high ethical standards
Mr. Alexander, call your office: Kurtz again gives CNN a pass for Birtherism
UPDATED: Just weeks after promising WaPo Ombudsman he'd disclose CNN ties, Kurtz repeatedly failed to do so
Kurtz stays silent about Klein; WaPo Ombudsman silent about Kurtz
Howard "Conflict of Interest" Kurtz still silent about CNN boss
Howard Kurtz's conflict of interest gets more glaring by the day

Friday, 13 December 2013 08:52 AM
Europe's second-highest court has overturned a decision by the European Commission to allow the cultivation and sale of a genetically modified potato developed by German chemicals group BASF.
The General Court of the European Union said the Commission had failed to follow the bloc's rules when approving the Amflora potato, which is genetically modified to produce extra starch for use in the paper industry.
While Amflora is no longer grown in Europe as BASF withdrew the product in 2012, citing opposition to the technology, the ruling may raise new concerns about the EU's complex and much-criticized approval system for GMO crops.
It could also delay a decision on a separate Commission proposal to approve cultivation of a new type of modified maize developed jointly by DuPont and Dow Chemical.
"Because the Commission significantly failed to fulfill its procedural obligations, the General Court has annulled the connected decisions," the court said, referring to the Commission's approvals for both cultivation and sale of Amflora.
A Commission spokesman said the EU executive was analyzing the ruling.
"The follow-up which the Commission could take would be to appeal on a point of law, but I can't respond to you now because lawyers are still looking at the judgment," Commission health spokesman Frederic Vincent told a regular news briefing.
Environmental campaigners welcomed the ruling, and said the Commission had no choice but to withdraw its cultivation proposal for the new type of GMO maize, known as 1507, or face a similar outcome.
"Today's legal judgment demolishes the Commission plans to rush through the approval of Pioneer-DuPont's GM maize 1507 for cultivation," Greenpeace's EU agriculture policy director, Marco Contiero, said in a statement.
Currently, only one GMO crop is grown commercially in Europe, an insect-resistant maize developed by Monsanto. It is sown on about 247,000 acres of farmland, mainly in Spain.
That level is dwarfed by an estimated 170 million hectares of GMO crop cultivation globally, mainly in the Americas and parts of Asia.
While repeated EU scientific assessments have concluded that GMO crops are as safe for humans and the environment as their conventional counterparts, consumer opposition to the technology in Europe remains strong.
The surprise approval of Amflora was one of the first decisions taken by the EU's then-health commissioner, John Dalli, who took office in February 2010. Dalli was forced to resign from the Commission last year after being linked to a tobacco bribery scandal.
It was only the second time a genetically modified plant had been approved for cultivation in Europe, and prompted an angry response from environmental campaigners and consumer groups that strongly oppose the technology.
It also led to a legal challenge against the decision by Hungary, supported by other EU countries opposed to GMOs, including France, Austria and Poland.
The Commission first proposed the cultivation and sale of Amflora in 2007, following a positive scientific assessment by the European Food Safety Authority.
Following the failure of EU government ministers and officials to approve or reject the proposal, the Commission exercised its power to grant approval unilaterally in 2010.
But in its judgment, the General Court said that following the publication of an updated scientific opinion by EFSA in 2009, the Commission should have submitted new proposals for approval by EU governments rather than simply adopting its 2007 version.
"The Commission infringed the procedural rules of the systems for authorizing GMOs in the European Union," the court concluded.
BASF said the ruling vindicated its decision two years ago to move the BASF Plant Science headquarters to the United States and stop the development of genetically modified seeds for commercialization in Europe.
"The ruling underscores that it was the right decision in January 2012 to focus our plant biotechnology activities on markets with future relevance."
BASF added the potato was deemed safe by the EFSA and that Friday's court ruling was about procedures and not about the scientific appraisal of the product.

I loved this trip Both guides were great and accommodating to my special diet needs. I would highly reccomend this trip. Myrna McDonald
New to Road Scholar? Sign up
for our e-newsletter.
Activity note: The transfer from Liberia's international airport to the hotel in Rincon de la Vieja takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. Unforeseen traffic and road conditions could affect the driving time. A final portion of the journey includes travel over a well-maintained gravel road.
Lunch: At a local restaurant in Liberia.
Afternoon: Depart for Rincon de la Vieja and check in at hotel. 4:30 pm - Program orientation at the hotel. Our aim during this program will be to steadily work our way up to 10,000 steps (about 5 miles) per day as we learn healthy habits that will benefit us well after we return home. First Walk (2,000 steps): We'll join our Group Leader in a tropical rooting exercise using the controlled breathing and slow movements of Qigong (Chi Kung) to prepare us for our first walking activity on this program. Rooting is a process of obtaining balance by grounding the body so that the various movements can be executed correctly. Next, we will accompany our Group Leader in an exploratory walk on forest trails in hotel environs. Qigong (pronounced "chee-gong") is an ancient Chinese practice that combines stretching with breathing and relaxation techniques to promote overall physical and mental health. Different branches of Qigong have evolved over hundreds of years; some lean towards traditional Chinese medicine principles, using a slow and gentle workout as a healing tool; others are more physically demanding and dynamic, geared to perfecting martial arts skills and building muscle strength; while meditation Qigong incorporates relaxation techniques such as visualization and breathing patterns to help integrate body and mind. In Qigong—much like with yoga, tai chi and other popular Eastern disciplines—it is not necessary to adhere to the more spiritual aspects in order to enjoy the rewards. Growing medical evidence shows that this low impact style of exercise offers health benefits such as improved balance, flexibility, and cardiopulmonary function. Since Qigong instructors can adapt the level of difficulty and movement styles to suit student needs and abilities, this is a form of exercise that can generally be learned and enjoyed by all.
Dinner: At the hotel restaurant with water and coffee; other beverages available for purchase. During our meal, we'll enjoy a "table talk" with our Group Leader that will introduce us to the origins, philosophy and practice of Qigong.
Evening: At leisure.
Activity note: Our morning walk will cover a distance of approximately 2 miles and includes a segment with a small slope. Lunch at the thermal pool complex will be a casual and relaxed experience. Bathing suits and shorts are allowed in the dining area, though some people might feel more comfortable wearing a cover-up.
Breakfast: At the hotel with coffee, tea, water.
Morning: Before breakfast we will join our Group Leader in early morning stretching exercises that will focus on the element of fire—to wake up and energize our bodies in preparation for today's activities. Cardiovascular health will be the focus of our session this morning. Following our exercises, we'll head to the restaurant for breakfast. After boarding our bus, we'll take a short drive to the start of a local trail in preparation for this morning's walk. Second Walk (4,500 steps): Interpretive walk through a transitional forest with a local naturalist who will highlight interesting flora and fauna along the way. We'll walk along a mostly flat forest trail with slight undulations. Return to the hotel.
Lunch: At the hotel's freshwater and thermal pool complex. Water and coffee included; additional beverages available for purchase.
Afternoon: Next, we'll visit the hotel's hot pools to listen to a presentation on the healthful properties of volcanic mud and thermal waters and sauna. Third Walk (1,500 steps): Our Group Leader will take us on a walk along gently undulating trails to experience the magnificence of a Pacific sunset from a mirador (lookout point). Under the tutelage of our expert leader, we will pair up and take turns giving each other gentle back massages to help reduce muscle tightness and inflammation and to improve circulation. Time for refreshments and reflection. Return to the hotel.
Dinner: At the hotel.
Evening: At leisure.
Activity note: The moderately challenging walk to the waterfalls covers approximately 3 miles. Participants should wear closed-toe hiking footwear, with lug soles, as the trail is rugged and on an incline. Rain may cause trails to become muddy--increasing the hike's level of difficulty. Trekking poles are strongly recommended. Participants interested in enjoying spa treatments at the hotel during free time should make advance appointments. Spa services are at an additional cost.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Early morning stretching exercises at the hotel. Our Group Leader will coach us through various breathing exercises and movements focused on the "water element." These exercises are believed to improve kidney and bladder function and promote overall health. After our session we will head to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Fourth Walk (6,500 - 7,000 steps): We'll accompany our Group Leader on a scenic hike along an uphill forest trail to reach two local waterfalls. The rugged terrain and uphill sections should give us a nice work out. As we sweat negative emotions and thoughts away, we'll allow endorphins and feelings of accomplishment to take their place. Our leader will take the opportunity to explain about the effects of negative ions on our bodies while we take a short break at the waterfalls (a great source of negative ions!) before we hike back to the hotel. Participants wishing to skip this activity are welcome to remain at the hotel to enjoy a relaxing morning before rejoining the group for lunch. Return to the hotel.
Lunch: At the hotel.
Afternoon: Free time to enjoy independent explorations (at own expense). The hotel can assist in scheduling activities such as horseback riding, canopy zip line, forest exploration on ATVs or off road vehicles, and spa treatments. Before dinner, we'll join our Group Leader at the hotel for a presentation on the secrets of leading long, plentiful lives.
Dinner: At the hotel.
Evening: At leisure.
Activity note: The drive to Rincon de la Vieja National Park is about 26 miles; approximately 1.5 hours. From the national park to Playa Pan de Azucar is about 53 miles; a little more than 2 hours by bus. From Playa Pan de Azucar to the Flamingo area is about 7 miles. Wear closed-toe/heel shoes and comfortable clothes as well as sunscreen and insect repellent for the forest hike.
Breakfast: Early breakfast at the hotel.
Morning: Check-out of the hotel. We'll depart by bus to Rincon de la Vieja National Park where we'll enjoy a morning hike before transferring to Playa Pan de Azucar. Fifth Walk (5,000 steps): A local naturalist will lead us on an interpretive walk along park trails; teaching us about the plants and wildlife found in the dry forest. We will also take part in a short Zen walk, led by our Group Leader, to learn how to connect with nature and its forces. The Rincon de la Vieja National Park covers an area of approximately 34,800 acres (54 square miles) in the northwestern province of Guanacaste. The national park was established in 1973 in an effort to protect the local watershed, but the overall benefits were much larger as it also helped to preserve an important range of habitats and wildlife. Elevations range from under 2,000 feet to upwards of 6,300 feet at Santa Maria Volcano—Rincon de la Vieja Volcano's dormant sibling. A well-marked system of trails allows visitors to experience the forests and volcanic features of the park including fumaroles, hot springs and thermal mud pools. This is one of the best places in the country to view the guaria morada orchid (Cattleya skinneri), Costa Rica's national flower. The national park is part of the Guanacaste Conservation Area—a Unesco World Heritage site. Depart for Playa Pan de Azucar.
Lunch: At a local restaurant en route.
Afternoon: Arrive at Playa Pan de Azucar and check-in at hotel. Sixth Walk (1,500 steps): Stretch your legs during a short walk along the beautiful crescent beach in front of the hotel. We'll return to the hotel to change and freshen-up before our bus takes us to a nearby beach town for dinner. Note: Anyone wishing to stay back at the hotel is welcome to do so and enjoy dinner at the hotel restaurant (at own cost).
Dinner: At the hotel with water and coffee; additional beverages available for purchase
Evening: At leisure.
Breakfast: At the hotel with coffee, tea, water.
Morning: The theme for today's early morning warm up is "air." Our Group Leader will coach us through yoga postures and breathing techniques meant to help strengthen our lung capacity and overall health. Following our session, we'll head to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. After breakfast we'll board our bus and take a short drive to our hike location. Our Group Leader will lead us on a hike along a coastal trail that will include some uphill sections and irregular terrain. Free time to enjoy a variety of optional activities (at your own cost) such as hiking on local trails, deep sea fishing excursions, surfing, sea kayaking, paddle boarding lessons, mountain biking on coastal trails, golfing at Playa Conchal, beach activities, and relaxing. Return to the hotel.
Lunch: At the hotel with water and coffee; additional beverages available for purchase.
Afternoon: Next, our bus will take us to the Flamingo area for a boat ride along the coast with opportunities for snorkeling, culminating with a sundowner (celebrating the end of another day with a beverage) on the water.
Dinner: On your own to explore dining opportunities in the Flamingo area. Transportation to a selection of restaurants will be provided for our convenience and the Group Leader will be available to offer suggestions. The laid back beach towns on Costa Rica's northern coast are a popular destination for beach goers, nature lovers, and surfers from around the globe.
Evening: After dinner, the bus will take us back to the hotel at Playa Pan de Azucar. The rest of the evening will be at leisure.
Activity note: The beach walk will cover a distance of approximately 3 miles. Please remember to stay hydrated, wear lightweight/loose clothing, apply sunscreen, and wear a hat. Wear a bathing suit under your clothes in case you wish to take a swim at the beach after your morning walk. Lunch options and afternoon activities are at your own cost. Try to total at least 10,000 steps today! Prepare for check-out and departure tomorrow.
Breakfast: At your leisure at the hotel restaurant.
Morning: During this early morning Qigong session, our Group Leader will instruct us in performing "wood element" exercises believed to promote liver and gall bladder health. When done, we'll head to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. Our goal for this day is to total 10,000 steps. Our bus will transport us to Brasilito Beach in preparation for today's morning walk. Seventh Walk (6,000 steps): Our Group Leader will lead us on an energizing morning walk along the beach that will include an on-site talk about the human and natural history of the region.
Lunch: On your own to explore local fare.
Afternoon: We'll return to the hotel to change clothes and freshen up, then enjoy some free time at the hotel. Before dinner, we'll join our Group Leader in a closing ceremony.
Dinner: At the hotel, we'll celebrate the conclusion of our Costa Rican walk into wellness with a barbecue dinner and musical entertainment. Share your favorite experiences with new Road Scholar friends.
Evening: At leisure. Enjoy your last night among new friends or get a good night's rest in preparation for your international travel next day.
Activity note: The drive from Playa Pan de Azucar to the international airport in Liberia takes approximately 1.5 hours. Participants with independent travel arrangements and/or scheduled on later flights can keep their hotel rooms until check-out time on this day. Except for breakfast, all other meals are on your own on this day.
Breakfast: At the hotel (dependent on flight times).
Morning: A Road Scholar group transfer will be provided to the international airport in Liberia so that we can check-in for our flights home. **Separate airport transfers can be arranged (at participant's own expense) for independent travelers who have earlier/later flight times that do not coordinate with the Road Scholar group transfer. Please contact the program provider at 1-800-866-7111 or firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance.** This concludes the program. If you are returning home, safe travels. If you are staying on independently, have a wonderful time. If you are transferring to another Road Scholar program, detailed instructions are included in your information packet for that program.

This is a really fun trip. I enjoyed the early morning Yoga sessions in beautiful natural settings with our lovely wellness guru Lila. After Yoga, breakfast, then head out for the daily nature hike with our lively and knowledgeable group leader Reimer. We had so many wildlife sightings: birds, monkeys, butterflies, lizards, iguanas. The bus for our small group of 10 was very comfortable, and the fun driver Jimmy became part of our group. Lodging and meals were nice at both the mountain and beach locations. Both hotels had great pools for swimming. I highly recommend this trip for anyone who enjoys both Yoga and hiking. It is a perfect combination of activity and relaxation. This trip lets you experience Costa Rica's natural beauty up close and personal, instead through the window of a bus. Because the group size is small, there is ample chance to ask questions along the way.
Walking and Wellness in Costa Rica was interesting and fun. Beautiful accommodations, good food, a small enough group to bond together. The highlights were the group leader and the naturalist; both worked well together, knew their specialty information, and were personally charming.

Wayland honors two trustees for support
Wayland Baptist University honored two of its trustees recently with the Keeper of the Flame Award, recognizing financial gifts in excess of $100,000.
Terri and Joe Jesko of Arlington and Yvonne Franklin of Amarillo were presented with crystal pieces honoring their contributions and support during the Board of Trustees luncheon held March 28 on the Plainview campus.
Franklin served three three-year terms on the board previously, then came on again in 1999 after sitting out the required year. She is now in the last year of her fourth term. She and husband James are retired.
"Mrs. Franklin was instrumental in funding the new women's dormitory on the Plainview campus, of which one wing bears her name. She is a well-known and generous philanthropist in Amarillo and is a strong supporter of the arts," said Dr. Russ Gibbs, vice president for institutional advancement at Wayland.
The Jeskos, both Wayland graduates, are counselors and are active in civic and church work in Arlington. Mrs. Jesko is in her second year of her second three-year term on the Board of Trustees. Joe received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Association of Former Students in 2000.
"The Jeskos have created endowed scholarships and have made significant contributions to capital campaigns including the women's dorm and the student activity center," Gibbs said. "Wayland is honored to have the Franklins' and the Jeskos' service and leadership at the university and deeply appreciates their generous support."

PENSACOLA, Fla.—The Barry Buccaneers placed five on the 2013 Daktronics All-South Region Softball Team. Senior third baseman Sarah Broeseker, sophomore second baseman Kelly Martinez and junior utility pitcher Britney Pugh made the first team, while senior pitcher Alexis Yohe and freshman outfielder Megan Copeland made the second team.
Broeseker led the Sunshine State Conference with a .415 batting average. She drove in 37 runs and scored 35 more. Her .610 slugging percentage was second in the league, as was her .484 on-base percentage. Broeseker tallied 66 total hits (1st SSC), including 14 doubles (T4th), four triples (T1st) and three homers. Broeseker was particularly effective in conference, hitting .500 with 18 runs and 17 RBI in 24 games to earn conference Player of the Year honors. She walked 13 times, against just six strikeouts, for a .583 on-base percentage and belted seven doubles, three triples and a homer to slug .729.
Martinez was one of the Bucs' hottest hitters down the stretch, hitting .371 for the season and .523 in the month of April. She scored 25 runs and drove in 31. She was on the team with four homers and 12 stolen bases and was third with 12 doubles. Against conference teams, she hit .431 with three homers and 17 RBI.
Pugh posted a team-best 1.46 ERA, going 7-5 in the circle with two saves. She hit .265 with a pair of homers and 16 RBI in 87 at-bats. She had seven complete games, including an 11-inning marathon win over Tampa, and three shutouts.
Yohe was 20-8 overall with one save and a 1.60 ERA in 184 innings. She struck out 153 and held opponents to a .198 average. She was second in the conference in shutouts with nine and completed 21 of her 29 starts. In conference games, she led the league with a 14-1 record (a .933 winning percentage). She tossed six shutouts, including one-hit efforts against Rollins and Lynn and fired a five-inning perfect game against Florida Tech.
Copeland had an outstanding rookie campaign. She hit .384 with 34 runs scored and swiped 26 of 28 bases attempted. One of the best bunters in the country, she batted .700 on bunt attempts (21 hits in 30 at-bats) and ranked seventh in Division II in sacrifice bunts.
The D2SIDA All-Region softball teams are sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition.
