The study of science is really an impartial study of the natural world around us. It consists of posing questions in the form of experiments to try to gain an understanding as to how the Universe works. In the process of probing nature for her secrets, humans have had to become more and more clever as to how they pose such questions. It is no longer sufficient to simply drop cannonballs to measure the acceleration of gravity; indeed today's experiments are at the very pinnacle of technology, and require specialized equipment from a multitude of disciplines to perform properly. Most of this equipment is designed and built by engineers. That is, those who apply the laws of physics and chemistry to not only further the process of discovery, but create the buildings, vehicles, and communications necessary for individuals themselves to perform at peak efficiency. Engineering is an applied science, and UFV currently offers two programs which allows students to enter this fascinating and important field.
1) The first program is the Engineering Transfer program, and is designed for students interested in spending just one or two years at UFV, and then transferring to UBC, UVIC or other universities to complete a full degree in engineering.
2) The second program is a self contained Diploma in Engineering Physics with a specialization in mechatronics, which can be completed right here at UFV. This can be a terminal qualification with which students can enter the workplace immediately after graduation, or continue on to complete a full BSc degree majoring in Physics from UFV (we have had several students go on to graduate work in engineering having a BSc in physics from UFV). One additional option would be for students to transfer* to one of our neighboring institutions to complete a full undergraduate degree in engineering.
For more information on these programs, follow the links provided. Should you have any questions not answered in the associated pages, please contact either your Advisor or the appropriate Program Contact.
*Full transfer agrreements between UFV and UBC, SFU and UVic are currently pending, however many of the courses taken at UFV will transfer over to these institutions.

David Haye's world heavyweight title fight with Wladimir Klitschko will take place on 2 July in Hamburg - according to Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente.
After protracted negotiations, WBA champion Haye and IBF/WBO holder Klitschko agreed to fight last month with the venue and date undecided.
But Boente confirmed the 57,000-capacity Imtech Arena in Germany would stage the unification contest.
Haye, 30, has been training for the fight in Miami.

Floyd Mayweather's hearing on domestic violence charges, for which he could be jailed for 34 years if found guilty, was postponed a third time on Thursday.
The preliminary hearing, already postponed in January and March, was delayed again until 29 July.
It puts in further doubt a potential super-fight with Philippine legend Manny Pacquiao.
The two men were due to meet last year before a row over drug testing scuppered the bout.
Five-weight world champion Mayweather is charged with grand larceny, coercion and robbery stemming from a dispute last September with former girlfriend Josie Harris.
The American, 34, is accused of striking and threatening her, stealing her mobile telephone and threatening their two children.
Mayweather also faces a 1 September trial date on a battery charge for allegedly poking a security guard in the face during a scuffle last November over parking tickets.
Plans for a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao last March fell through when the Filipino, a six-weight world champion, rejected his opponent's demand for random drug-testing in the build-up to the bout.
Mayweather had said Pacquiao's refusal to undergo blood tests up to the day of their proposed fight meant his rival had something to hide.
It had been hoped their differences could be ironed out, but Mayweather's legal woes have made any match-up even more unlikely.
Mayweather, who is undefeated in 41 fights, has not fought since a dominant points win over fellow American Shane Mosley last May and he has fought only twice since stopping Britain's Ricky Hatton in December 2007.
Pacquiao's last fight was a stunning defeat of Mexican Antonio Margarito last November and he faces Mosley on 7 May.
However, the 32-year-old, who has 52 wins from 57 fights, won a seat in the Philippine Congress last May and there have been suggestions he is ready to quit the sport.

Nottingham's WBC super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has signed a five-fight deal with Matchroom Sport, run by Barry Hearn and son Eddie.
Froch, 33, split from long-time promoter Mick Hennessy last month and is due to fight Glen Johnson on 4 June.
Froch told BBC Sport he is "very optimistic" that fight will be broadcast by Sky Sports.
"With the backing of Matchroom we can do big things and capture the public's imagination," added Froch.
"My career has been a fantastic story, a rollercoaster, and it's been missed, it's gone under the radar.
"I beat Jermain Taylor [in 2009], climbed off the canvas in round three to defend my title with 14 seconds to go in the last round, it was an unbelievable fight.
"People should have been talking about me as the next big thing and what a great fighter I am from Britain, it should have crossed me over to the mainstream.
"But now we can do big things and get some column inches, some TV time and get the profile up, the stuff everyone is saying I deserve but I've not had.
"I've gone over and above the call of duty in my fights to warrant being a household name. It's not happened for me yet but I'm optimistic and excited it's about to happen."
Froch is currently competing in the Super Six super-middleweight tournament and victory over Jamaican Johnson in Atlantic City, New Jersey, will secure his place in the final.
However, all four of Froch's Super Six encounters so far have been broadcast in the United Kingdom by fringe satellite channel Primetime.
But Barry Hearn has close links with Sky Sports, which broadcasts his Prizefighter competition and is also credited with reversing the fortunes of darts and snooker.
"When you sit down with Barry and Eddie, you can tell they have the power and the resources to maximise your potential so I'm really excited about the rest of my career," added Froch, who has been beaten only once in 28 fights, against Denmark's Mikkel Kessler last year.
"The thing that stood out was their straight-talking approach and obviously their great reputation, not just in boxing, but in sport."
Froch also took advice from boxers already in the Matchroom stable.
He continued: "They have [European middleweight champion] Darren Barker on board, who is a good friend of mine, and Rob McCracken [Froch's trainer] told me to sit down and listen to Eddie - I listen to Rob and that made the decision simple.
"Eddie brings big things to the table and is able to promote me in a way that will get me the exposure that I deserve and crave - I've fulfilled my end of the bargain, I leave everything in the ring when I fight."
Froch sees the move as a way of fulfilling his dream of fighting at the home ground of Nottingham Forest, the football team he supports.
"I still have a dream to fight at the City Ground - I was promised that last year with Mikkel Kessler but it ended up happening in Denmark.
"If I'd gone into the meeting with Eddie and Barry then I believe that fight would've happened at the City Ground and it would've been a momentous occasion for myself, for the club, the city and for British boxing.
"But now we'll look forward and say, why can't it happen? When the Super Six is over and with Matchroom behind me, I know the dream can become a reality."
Manny Pacquiao insists he is not taking Shane Mosley's challenge lightly ahead of their fight on Saturday.
The Filipino superstar, regarded as the world's best pound-for-pound boxer, defends his WBO welterweight title in Las Vegas against the veteran American.
Pacquiao, 32, is overwhelming favourite but he said: "I never underestimate Mosley - he is a good fighter.
"He is strong, he throws a lot of punches and he moves fast. I have trained hard for this fight."
Pacquiao, who has a career record of 52-3-2 with 38 knockouts, last fought in November, defeating Antonio Margarito to win the vacant WBC light-middleweight title.
Mosley, 39, last fought in September when he struggled to a draw with Sergio Mora.
'Sugar Shane', also lost to unbeaten compatriot Floyd Mayweather in May 2010 and has been defeated six times in 54 fights.
But the Californian, who has 39 KOs to his name, said: "This is going to be a terrific fight, a great fight.
"We're both warriors, we both love to fight and we're both winners.
"And when you get two winners in there, you know it's going to be a heck of a fight. So I'm excited. I'm ready. It's going to be a blockbuster, and I'm happy to be a part of this."
Last week, Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said his fighter had never prepared more thoroughly for a bout, and he emphasised the point during a news conference on Wednesday.
"We know we're in a tough fight," said Roach, who also trains Britain's WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan.
"We respect Shane and his camp. They have a great team. But we are 100% ready. Everybody has worked really hard at this training camp. I think it's the best training camp we've ever had and Manny is in the best shape ever.
"We need to peak for this fight because Shane's one of the most crafty guys out there. He's intelligent and experienced and you can't replace experience, that's for sure."

Was a stinker. At least the next Marquez fight is promising.
OMG! Shock horror! Manny Pacquiao...
... Won.
As if anything else was gonna happen really! Just amazes me how he is just steam rolling the top fighters in the division. THAT fight really needs to happen. Fix up Floyd! The fans deserve to see you 2 get it on!

It won't happen. Floyd makes too much money by being undefeated. Rumor has it that he wants 100 million to fight Pacquiao. Who do you think will pay that much?

David Haye labelled Wladimir Klitschko "a fraud" at a news conference in Hamburg to promote their world heavyweight unification fight.
Britain's WBA title-holder meets Ukraine's IBF and WBO champion at the Imtech Arena on 2 July.
"I've seen his style and seen what he does in the ring and he's a fraud," said the 30-year-old Haye.
"He wears big shoulderpads in his gown and picks guys who suit him perfectly, but I'm not fooled."
Haye had been due to fight Klitschko in June 2009 but was forced to withdraw with an injury, but the Englishman added that "the boxing gods have decided 2 July is the date I become unified champion".
"I looked into [Klitschko's] eyes for 20 minutes and visualised me destroying him," added Haye, who has 25 wins from 26 fights.
"I looked into his eyes and saw him beaten and broken. He's never fought anyone with my attributes, it's new territory for me and for him.
"He'll do what he always does. I've fought these 'robots' before - I've never lost, at amateur or professional level, to an eastern European fighter and that's not going to change now.
"He's got an impressive jab, I've seen him sicken people with it, but I don't believe the fight will go 12 rounds.
"Wladimir Klitschko's not tough enough, mentally or physically, no way - unless he gets a chin transplant, and with eight weeks I don't think there's time enough for that to heal.
"As soon as I let my hands go, the fight's over. I anticipate between 15,000 and 20,000 British fans coming over and they're going to see a knockout and a good show as well. He's getting destroyed.
"I know what he's about. I was watching this guy even when I was a cruiserweight, I believed I could knock him out even then.
"For the first time he's fighting someone who's healthy, he normally picks people who are injured or coming off a long lay-off. I'm a prime athlete in my peak coming off a nice long streak of spectacular victories.
"And I'm used to winning titles abroad - I went to Paris and beat the undisputed cruiserweight champion in Jean Marc Mormeck, I went to Germany and beat a 7ft 2in giant in Nikolay Valuev, who Wladimir and his brother [WBC title-holder Vitali] have been avoding for years.
"I'm someone who's going to mess with him, inside and outside of the ring, inside his head - he's in for a fight."
In a tense exchange, Klitschko, 35, offered his hand to Haye only for it to be refused, and the Ukrainian vowed to teach his rival "a lesson in respect" on 2 July.

From my Forbes.com blog The New Persuaders:
Even in a holiday week, the Apple rumors continue–and today, it's that the company may produce a smart watch in the first half of next year.
Yes, another techie watch, the bane of the technology industry nearly since the dawn of the microchip. Here's why I'm not betting on seeing an iWatch anytime soon:
* We all already carry a watch. It's called a cell phone. And in case you hadn't noticed, it can tell you the time–more reliably than you can make a call on it, in fact.
* Even Apple would have trouble making a watch with a screen look fashionable enough to wear all the time. Seriously, half the population will never wear anything like this, and I'm betting that even most of the male half would look askance.
* Anything with a screen that would fit on your wrist is too small to do the vast majority of stuff you can do on a smartphone. Don't even think about anything resembling a keyboard, and Siri isn't nearly there when it comes to voice commands for a wide variety of applications. The screen also would be too small to run ads on, which, come to think of it, might be a plus for Apple as a way to stick it to Google.
* Apple supposedly isn't designing this thing. According to the report, Intel would design the watch and Apple would produce it. Sorry, no. Only in the Bizarro universe would this kind of thing happen.
All this is not to say that Apple won't move into wearable computing at some point. …

Ward 5 Alderman Jeremiah Dumas joined Placemakers representative Nathan Norris in a presentation of the "Downtown/MSU Corridors" form-based codes at Tuesday's meeting of the Starkville Board of Aldermen at City Hall.
Form-based codes set more focused architectural guidelines than typical zoning regulations to encourage certain types of land use in specific areas, allowing developers to build better projects with fewer administrative steps. Dumas said the codes combine restrictions on such matters as setbacks, height, lot coverage, landscaping and parking into a single document.
"It puts them in a common code so that we can begin to process these individually and in a uniform manner," Dumas said. "There's really no more in the process of requirement, but it does so in a manner that is more development-friendly and more uniform."
Dumas said some of the most important changes form-based codes would bring are changes to parking rules. New and substantially renovated developments would no longer be able to put parking in front of their buildings, he said. Instead, he said, parking would be relegated to a "third layer" 20 feet behind the front of the development.
"It helps from the aesthetic side," Dumas said. "(Instead of) looking at the backs of cars in a parking lot, you begin looking at building fronts; you begin looking at landscape; you begin to look at things that are more aesthetically pleasing than a sea of parking."
Dumas also discussed the three types of transect zones used in the form-based codes, with T-4 indicating the least intense use, T-5 indicating moderate use and T-6 indicating heavy use. Residential property in T-4 zones would see another significant change, he said. Regulations in R-1 zoning currently require residential buildings to be set back 25 feet from roadways, but T-4 regulations reduce that requirement to 6 feet.
"It allows developers to add density to the site," Dumas said. "We see that as a good thing from a price point standpoint, with how expensive land is becoming in Starkville."
The parking restrictions in the form-based codes exclude public parking and the area of downtown Starkville currently zoned C-3 commercial, Dumas said. These exceptions mean downtown businesses currently not required to provide parking still will not have to under the form-based codes, he said.
Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman opened the floor to questions for Norris and Dumas after the presentation, even though he said it was not normal protocol to do so for public hearings. Both the form-based codes and a proposed new land-use chart saw their second public hearings at the meeting.
One of the questions asked of Norris was why more of the Cotton District was not included in the form-based codes. Norris said the form-based codes were designed to deal primarily with corridors between the city and Mississippi State University, resulting in ancillary areas of the Cotton District being excluded.
"If you want to throw that in later, you can always do that," Norris said.
The board also held a public hearing on a proposed new land-use chart, created for greater ease of use and better coordination with the form-based codes. The primary topic in the board's discussion was payday loan businesses.
City Attorney Chris Latimer said the board needed to reconsider its previous decision to limit payday loan businesses to conditional use in M-1 manufacturing zones. Because conditional uses require approval from the aldermen at the planning and zoning commission's recommendation, future payday loan businesses could depend on the whims of present and future boards for their livelihood, putting the city in a tenuous legal situation.
Ultimately, because Dumas put the land-use chart before the board, the aldermen and mayor decided to let him amend the chart without a vote. The amendment will make payday loan businesses permitted by right in an M-1 zone and conditional in a C-2 commercial zone, allowing existing payday loan businesses to petition the city for the right to expand their facilities.
Latimer said the board will be able to take action on both the form-based codes and the land-use chart at its next meeting Jan. 17.

Abshire Public Relations Takes The Puzzle Out of PR
"Abshire Public Relations delivers invaluable executive counsel and strong insight into the local market. The APR team keeps our company in the news with well-placed, consistent local and national media coverage."
Greg Parker, President and CEO, The Parker Companies
"After the cover story about our firm's 20-year anniversary ran in Business in Savannah, we received calls from investors and dozens of comments from others on the street. I now believe in PR done right."
Richard Henry, Partner at Holland, Henry and Bromley
"As a small business owner, I always thought public relations was for the "Big Companies." We decided to give Abshire PR a shot with the promotion of our grand opening for LuckySavannah Vacation Rentals. To my surprise, we signed up a new vacation property owner as a direct result of APR's work. For me, APR and their services went from vague and unnecessary to concrete, essential and profitable."
Corey Jones, Owner, Lucky Savannah Rentals
"Abshire PR's focused strategy allowed our small, regionally-recognized startup reach a national audience in a short period of time. Their recommendations allowed us to be published in several nationally distributed publications in less than 60 days. We'd definitely turn to APR when we need to create our next big buzz!"
Cari Clark Phelps, Founder and President, Salacia Salts
"Abshire Public Relations rocks! They have helped us make important inroads in the Savannah market and have raised our profile in the local business community."
Erica Lumpert, CEO, Security Associates of Coastal Georgia
"Abshire Public Relations goes the extra mile to help us with everything from web copy to fundraising strategy. Their counsel, support and insight has proven to be invaluable."
David Tribble, President, Bethesda Academy

Lori Judge, President/Broker-in-Charge, Judge Realty
"Abshire Public Relations serves as a valuable extension of our in-house marketing team, bringing an impressive enthusiasm and strong level of commitment to every project they undertake."
Frank S. Macgill, Managing Partner, HunterMaclean

Gossip Girl
Is Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass Bisexual?
We've always been a little suspicious about Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick)'s relationship with Nate (Chace Crawford), seeing as the two spend a lot of time together in their jammies and robes on Gossip Girl. But because Blair (Leighton Meester) has always been in the picture for Chuck — and Nate has had more girlfriends than we can count — we've largely let this go.
But then we were looking back at a few things, and saw something interesting. Namely, we recalled that in the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar, Chuck had little in common with the present day television version of the rakish character.
In the books, Chuck isn't all about Blair — he's just all about Chuck. And part of that lavishness and excess is that he beds whomever he pleases. By that we mean that ladies love cool Chuck, but so do the fellas. So, is Chuck bisexual? Yep. But as far as we've seen, that's a part of him that was locked up in the "only in the books" archive of Gossip Girl (along with his ACTUAL PET MONKEY).
Do you think Chuck would have been a more interesting character if his television self had this in common with his ink-n-paper persona?

A disease killing millions of pigs in China has sharply lifted the price of pork, the country´s staple meat, fuelling fears about inflation and prompting calls from Beijing´s top leadership for increased production of the meat.
Wen Jiabao, the premier, provided confirmation of the seriousness of the crisis with a weekend visit to a market in Shaanxi, where he said farmers should help "resolve the problem" of providing meat for China´s 1.3bn people.
Pork prices have risen as much as 30% in Chinese cities over the last week. According to the agriculture ministry, wholesale prices for pigs have gone up even more, rising 71.3 per cent since April.
China´s 500m-odd pigs are the country´s most important source of affordable meat, and any sustained interruption in supply would be a big political problem for the government.
While the price of feed, such as corn, has risen, the main culprit is an epidemic of a mysterious illness known as "blue ear" disease, as well as the more common foot-and-mouth affliction.
"I have heard it has killed as many as 20m hogs," an industry executive said.
The government has not issued any estimate of how many pigs have been struck by the disease and China´s size and the number of small producers make it difficult quickly to obtain reliable figures.
But the impact of the shortage of pork is apparent in many areas, from sausage makers switching meats, to rising offal prices, and attempts by Hong Kong to import meat from South America.
China cannot easily find competitively priced pork to replace the shortfall at home, because of itsown health-related restrictions on imports from South America, where pricesare relatively low. US and European pork is more expensive.
The government has a "strategic pork reserve", established in the late 1990s, including both frozen stocks and access to pig farms, which could provide abuffer.
"We are considering releasing some of these reserves into the market in certain targeted areas in order to reduce soaring prices," said Li Xizhen, of the Ministry of Commerce.
"We will not be giving free meat to people, but will sell pork and use market mechanisms to bring down volatility."
Soaring pork prices are also expected to add to inflation, already under pressure from rising food prices in other areas.
"The surge in pork prices will likely push year-on-year CPI inflation to above 4 per cent very soon," said Hong Liang, of Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, in a research note.

The Phillies players take pride in their on-field accomplishments but they are equally as proud of the positive work that they are doing to give back to the community. Each year individual players take part in special meet and greets both at Citizens Bank Park and in the community.
Many players host their own ticketing program that allows them to meet with deserving organizations. Others have their own foundations to support causes close to their hearts.
We invite you to learn about what the Phillies players are doing to give back to the community that gives so much to them.
Domonic Brown focuses on living a healthy life and feels that it is important to share that information with the next generation of baseball players. He has taken part in the Phillies PLAY (Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth) Clinic to discuss his exercise routine and what he eats to stay healthy.
He has also taken part in the Phillies Phitness educational program which shares with students in grades K-12 the importance of making smart food choices at an early age.
In 2008, Cole and his wife Heidi founded The Hamels Foundation with a focus on enhancing academic opportunities for children in Philadelphia, across the United States and internationally. Their hope is that through their foundation the lives of children will be enriched by giving them the tools to achieve their goals. The Hamels Foundation has a dual purpose to provide support for quality education in the United States and establish a school in Malawi, Africa.
As an extension of the Hamels Foundation mission, on May 30, Cole and Heidi Hamels awarded grants totaling $50,000 to six Philadelphia-area schools. The grants will provide 3D Printers for West Philadelphia High School, math curriculum for Overbrook Elementary, a school-wide literacy program for Highland Park Elementary, classroom projectors for Tilden Middle School, physical education equipment for Kensington Multiplex High School and a STEM Lab for St. Jerome School. The Hamels Foundation believes that these investments will provide significant improvement to the quality of students' lives and learning.
In order to raise funds the Foundation holds a number of events over the course of the year. Next up is Thursday, August 21's Diamonds and Denim event. The event includes a three-course dinner, dessert, silent and live auctions and a private concert by seven-time Grammy winner, Lady Antebellum. Sponsorship opportunities are available. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cole Hamels created Hamels' Heroes in 2011 to show his appreciation to the servicemen and women who sacrifice each day to protect our freedom. The charitable ticket program provides U.S. Military active and retired veterans and their families with Phillies game tickets, concession coupons and T-Shirts. Several groups will have the unique opportunity to watch batting practice on the field. Thus far hundreds of active and retired military and their families have benefited from the Hamels' Heroes program.
Hamels was awarded the Phillies Community Service Award in 2009 in recognition of his outstanding charitable contributions. He also was the Phillies award recipient for the Roberto Clemente Award in 2009.
Last year Ryan and his wife Krystle founded The Ryan Howard Big Piece Foundation which is dedicated to improving the lives of children by promoting academic and athletic development. The Foundation's goal is to engage students in essential area of literacy thus leading them on a path to a brighter future.
As an extension of the Foundation's mission Ryan's Reading Challenge was developed to engage students in reading. Vare-Washington Elementary School in South Philadelphia was selected as the recipient school of the very first "Big Piece" grant. Students in kindergarten through third grade were challenged to read for twenty minutes a day, seven days a week. With the support of the school's 4th and 5th grade students, as well as faculty, staff and parents, the students surpassed their reading goals! The Foundation rewarded their efforts by fulfilling the school's "Missing Piece" wish of a baseball themed reading center equipped with hundreds of books, 25 iPads and five desktop computers. Both Ryan and Krystle Howard were on hand to unveil Howard's Homeroom and to remind students that, "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader."
Last season the Howards hosted their first Stand up for Literacy event. This year's event will be held on August 4 at the Franklin Institute and will benefit Philadelphia area students by acting as a fundraiser for the next "Big Piece" grant. For event sponsorship opportunities contact standupforliteracy@ therhbigpiecefoundation.org or call 215-302-2001.

Ryan Howard introduced Howard's Sluggers for children participating in PAL (Police Athletic League) activities. Howard meets with the children prior to batting practice and provides game tickets, T-shirts and concessions.
Ryan was the 2011 Phillies Community Service Award winner and the local Roberto Clemente Jr. Award recipient.
Ryan received an Honorary Badge from the Philadelphia Police Athletic League during "PAL Night at the Phillies" in August 2008, recognizing his community service.
Cliff Lee each season hosts Lee's VIPs to bring deserving children and patients from local organizations to a game. Lee provides tickets, T-shirts and food concessions.
Lee made a $1 million donation, in honor of their son Jaxon, to Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) to fund an endowed chair in pediatric hematology/oncology. Jaxon battled cancer (acute myeloid leukemia -AML) at ACH as an infant.
Jonathan Papelbon supports local youth through his Papelbon's Pen program that launched in 2012. Through this program, Jonathan provides children in foster care, such as those residing at The Children's Home of Reading, with game tickets, t-shirts and concessions so they can enjoy a memorable group outing at a Phillies game.
In 2012, Carlos Ruiz introduced his Chooch's Chicos ticket program. Through this program Ruiz invites children from local Latino organizations to Phillies games and provides t-shirts and concessions. Groups benefiting include ACLAMO Family Centers, Concilio Summer Youthworks, National Stop The Violence Alliance, Inc. and Congreso De Latinos. Carlos also meets individually with the children and teens during batting practice.
Carlos Ruiz annually hosts the "Get in the Game" bowling tournament to benefit Philadelphia Futures; an organization that provides the City's economically disadvantaged, college-bound students with programs and resources leading up to and throughout college. Supporting Ruiz and the event are members of the Phillies family including Phillies President and CEO David Montgomery, Ruben Amaro, Jr., Phillies Manager, Ryne Sandberg and many teammates and coaches. The 2014 event raised more than $170,000, and since the partnership with Philadelphia Futures began 14 years ago the Phillies have helped raise more than $1.7 million to support students across Philadelphia.
The Utley Foundation was established by Chase and his wife Jen, to bring awareness to the increasing epidemic of animal cruelty. The Foundation's mission is to educate the community in the proper treatment of animals and raise funds for the fight against animal neglect, pain and suffering.
In 2011, The Utley Foundation, the Pennsylvania SPCA and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program began a tradition of inviting students to help design murals that incorporate the theme of preventing animal abuse.
On May 30, 2013 Chase Utley and his wife Jennifer were joined by students at Universal Vare Charter Middle School to announce the creation of a third mural in their series, "Be Kind to Animals." The murals are created in partnership with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and the Utleys collaborated with artist David Gunn for a mural located on the Care Recreation Facility at 2600 Morris Street in Philadelphia.
On September 27, 2012, the Utleys dedicated their second annual "Be Kind to Animals" themed mural, presented by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and the Utley Foundation. The mural, which promotes the proper care and treatment of animals, is located at McVeigh Recreation Center in Philadelphia.

In 2011 the invited students of Anna B. Pratt Elementary School to participate in poster, essay, and photo contests that asked children to express feelings and personal stories about animals. Winners from each contest had their image incorporated into the "kindness to animals" themed mural which was designed by artist Willis Humphrey and unveiled on June 7, 2011 on a wall at 22nd and Dauphin Streets.
Utley, as part of his Chase's Champs program, annually spends over $23,000 to purchase season tickets to benefit patients from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.
Since 2006 Chase has served as the chairman of the Phillies Jr. RBI/RBI Leagues which provide at risk children with the opportunity to play both baseball and softball. Chase has met with participants to give baseball tips, answer questions and help hand out gloves to those without one. Chase also has joined forces with Jr. RBI sponsor Citizens Bank to encourage fans to donate new and gently used gloves at the Citizens Bank Park kiosk in Ashburn Alley during every home game to benefit Jr. RBI participants.
Chase has also helped grant the wishes of several children suffering from serious illness, by meeting them through the through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Chase also supports Philadelphia Futures, a mentoring program for inner-city students and generously donates his time during the baseball season to participate in various events to raise funds for Phillies Charities, Inc.

To create the Cordelia Necklace, artist Lisa Black mounted a Danaus plexippus (Monarch) butterfly onto sustainable bamboo and hand-applied translucent resin to protect the delicate wings. Like a locket necklace, you can open and close the pendant at the metal hinges that connect each wing. When opened, the necklace reveals the full span of the butterfly's wings; when closed, the bamboo's carved design provides a window into the inner beauty locked inside. The butterfly gently dangles from a 16-inch, gold-plated chain.
Chain is 16" long. Pendant is 2.5" high. Lobster clasp.
Gilded Butterflies does not use rare, endangered, or trade-restricted butterflies. Handmade and shipped from New Zealand.

Comments On Dec 23, 2014:Great tires! Excellent performance, and great for slinging some dirt!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 23, 2014:Put these on my stock 400 KFX. I was worried about power loss due to taller /heavy tire. My gearing is noticeable taller and I've found myself using the clutch a bit more on the tight trails. The trade off is worth it, however. No more swing arm banging on rocks. My skid plate is lasting much longer. Good traction. So far the tires are wearing good. No punctures, etc.

Looking back Rebecca, 41, thinks that the "personality quirks" she saw in her husband when they first met in college actually were signs of mental illness.
In their early years together she noticed that John, now 42, had trouble sticking with a career path and accepting responsibility. "It wasn't that he was lazy," she says, "but that he actually wouldn't see or have the capacity to solve problems that were facing him in terms of day to day life management. He needed to follow a plan and if that didn't work out, he'd be stymied as to what to do next despite his incredible intellect."
Over time Rebecca learned to give John detailed instructions when she needed him to do chores or pick up groceries. She managed their finances. Taking charge wasn't a huge issue for her, she says; she believed it was simply a compromise that partners make. "Without realizing it, we slipped into a pattern where I assumed most of the burdens of day to day life and that freed him up to get through his days," she says.
But the couple's "delicate balance" shifted with the birth of their first son in 1998. "John was suddenly faced with the responsibility of parenthood, and I wasn't able to shoulder the load anymore."
John often felt sad, lacked self-confidence and could easily have slept around the clock, he says. He suffered from frequent and debilitating migraine headaches and often felt anxious and irritable. He was hospitalized and diagnosed with depression.
John became worse under treatment, which often happens when bipolar disorder is misdiagnosed as unipolar depression. Rebecca noticed cycles, typically weeks at a time, when John would become sarcastic, grumpy and short-tempered. "This was not the man I knew," she says.
The correct diagnosis finally came in 2002, after the birth of a second boy and another hospitalization: bipolar II with migraines.
John has been stable for the last couple of years, the result of five or six medicines he takes daily. They are working well, despite the occasional dosage adjustment. Individual therapy has helped him deal with some issues but not the bipolar symptoms themselves, he says.
John says that Rebecca "is as supportive as she can be without being saint-like." When he needs to rest or be alone, for instance, she takes the kids out to play. The couple has learned how to channel the good times into his relationship with their boys. "We always made sure that when he was in a good place and had the energy he'd be with the kids — to show them that side of him and to build that relationship with him. When he was not in [a good] place, I was the barrier between them," Rebecca says.
In hindsight Rebecca realizes she went through a grieving process for the man she first fell in love with. "It's always hard to see someone you love suffering. But when that person is suffering mental illness, they disappear. Not only do you lose them, but the person you would have turned to is gone."
She did not talk to a therapist until a series of family crises left her overwhelmed. She encourages others to seek help early. "You get so caught up in just holding your life together that taking time to look into getting support and giving yourself the time and permission is really hard."
She also had to give up "the facade of normalcy" so that she could talk to others — therapists and friends alike — about her situation. "You have to understand that no one is failing or at fault; it's simply an illness."
An illness that affects the entire family. "In a strange way, I became secondarily bipolar. When John was in a bad place, I'd feel desolate. When he was better, I'd think, thank God, that's behind us now.' You take such joy and comfort and relief in periods of normalcy that it completely undermined my ability to cope when things got bad again."
Now she knows "you can't peg your happiness to your spouse's health." To avoid that, she has learned how to care for herself — reading, walking, talking to friends, focusing on the children. "I have not mastered this — I try to moderate my expectations and let myself enjoy the good times but never be unprepared for the bad." That creates tension, she acknowledges, since "you're always kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop."
John has been going to graduate school full-time, earning a doctorate in speech pathology for the past four years. He takes the couple's two sons to their hockey games and camping as often as he can. "The John I know and love has been back for a couple of years," says Rebecca.
Now the two are redefining what partnership means for them. "For a long time I was the caregiver and he was the sick person. Those roles will never entirely go away but that's not a basis for a happy, healthy marriage," she says. "We have to define what I can expect from him and what the limitations are. Yes, he's got this illness but t`hat doesn't mean he gets off scot-free."

I world change my stance on him immediately if he beat condit.
However, this will be a clinic where condit takes a looping, plodding scrapper to school until his face is mush. Brown clearly has a punchers chance and could capitalize on a scramble or trip etc but this is a mismatch IMO. Technically speaking, brown is limited but incredibly tough. Conversely, condit is equally tough but technically superior in every aspect.

Bibi ka Maqbara
One more tribute from a man to a woman, only this time, from a son to a mother. Modelled on the Taj Mahal, Aurangabad's Mughal tomb garden was built by Prince Azam Khan in memory of his mother, Begum Rabia Daurani.
Completed in 1678 this poor man's Taj Mahal has largely drawn flak as a cheap imitation of the Taj but take a look at it anyway. May not be the marble glory that the Taj Mahal is, but is worth a dekko anyway.Purwar MuseumThis wonderful personal collection is housed in a lovely haveli and is the work of a retired doctor Mr. Purwar. Small and not given to the excesses that other museums are given to, the exhibits here include a 500-year-old chain mail suit, an 800-year-old Paithani sari and a copy of the Koran handpainted by Aurangzeb. To provide it perfect company is the antique shop next to it. You will find the place on Ghati road.The Caves
Aurangabad seems to have more than its share of secondary monuments and sights. Like the Aurangabad caves, which are no patch on the splendid Ajanta and Ellora caves. Having said that, these caves are a good introduction to rock-cut architecture.
3 kms north of the city, the caves have been carved out of a steep spur of the Sahyadri Range. A great view of the city, serenity and a piece of history are what you get to take back from here. The Aurangabad caves are Buddhist and are divided into two groups by the archaeological survey of India as the western and eastern caves.Daulatabad
13 km away from Aurangabad lies one of the country's most impressive and majestic forts, commanding the view from atop a pyramid-shaped hilltop. It is an unusually large fortress and is surrounded by huge, imposing grey, granite walls and has a central, slender pink minaret called the Chandminar - a Victory tower built in 1435 and is right on top of the hill, originally known as Devagiri or the Hill of the Gods. There is also a 15 m deep moat encircling the upper portion of the citadel.
In 1294, the Delhi Sultans stormed Daulatabad and looted its wealth, paving the way for eccentric Mughal ruler Mohammed bin Tughlaq, who took over the fort in 1327. He renamed it Daulatabad, the City of Fortune and made it his southern military operations base.Khuldabad
Khuldabad is a walled city also known as Rauza and famed as the 'Heavenly Abode'. It contains within its walls the karbala (holy shrine) for Muslims in the Deccan region. The courtyard of the Alamgir Dargah (shrine) is also the burial spot of the last great Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb. His grave is a simple open one, decorated by the fresh flower petals that visitors bring.
Aurangzeb chose Khuldabad as his final resting place because the mausoleum of Sayeed Zain-ud-din, a Muslim holy man lies next door. The Robe of the Prophet, which is considered an important relic lies here and revealed to the public once a year, on the 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabi-ul-Awwal.Grishneshwar MandirRani Ahilyabai Holkar is said to have built this Shiva temple in the 18th century in small village of Grishneshwar, which lies west of the caves. It houses one of the 12 'self born' jyotirlingas (the phallic symbol of the Lord Shiva) thought to date back to the 2nd century BC. There are no rules banning non-Hindus from the temple and allowed to join the queue for a glimpse of the deity. Men will need to take off their shirts before entering the temple though.Paithan
An ancient town that lies 56 km south of Aurangabad, Paithan is renowned for its famous Paithani silk saris. The beautiful 6-yard Paithani sari is woven with pure silk yarn and gold thread (drawn from pure gold). It is a matter of pride that this 2000-year-old art of weaving continues, with families passing on their creative skills to younger generations.
A heavy brocade Paithani takes at least 6 months to complete and costs over Rs 50,000, while an ordinary Paithani sari takes about a month to complete and costs between Rs 8,000 and Rs 15,000. The State weaving centre has lovely Paithani wall pieces as well.
Aurangabad has plenty of eating places and diverse cuisine on offer. This variety is mainly because the city has always seen tourist travel due to its proximity to the Ajanta and Ellora caves. You will find traditional Indian food but also enough Chinese and Continental food to satisfy your stomach's need for variety.
The Nizam influence means that there are a number of tantalising rice dishes and an assortment of gravies that you can try out. Aurangabad has a lot to offer the hungry and choosy traveller.Foodwala's BhojDr. Ambedkar road, 1st Floor

Ellora Festival
The third week of March every year, Aurangabad dons the mantle of host and gears up for a festival of music and dance. This festival is organised by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (the MTDC). The city decks up with lights in anticipation for this time and event.
The Ellora festival is conducted at the Aurangabad Caves, an ambience that succeeds in giving its audience a feeling of beauty and mystery. Sitting in the caves and listening to some of the best singers perform, one is almost transported to another time and the magic of an era that revelled in the beautiful

As a teaser for the upcoming coverage of the Joliet Super Chevy Show, I thought I'd share some pics and words about some of the cool stuff I saw over my weekend at the show. Aside from a little rain on Saturday, the weather was beautiful for the show, with the locals surprised at the sudden relief from the sweltering August heat.
There were some cool and unusual cars in the show which you'll see in the pics below, and stay tuned to a future issue of Super Chevy where you'll see a full breakdown of the event including car show and drag race winners, plus much more!
Publisher Ed Zinke got a good laugh when I told him about this car "the best '57 in the whole car show field" as I put it! Jokes aside, this car caught my attention instantly because it was chock full of more character than an Elmore Leonard novel. As you can see in the pic of the driver's side quarter window, this old '57 150 2-door post was an aged dragstrip veteran. The current owner pulled the car out of the weeds in pieces, and after welding in new floor and trunk sheetmetal, pretty much left the car as is except for a few other improvements, including a big block for power. Note the '57 "driver" correct mismatched decklid that shows at least three different paint colors over its life! I love cars like this! Looking at them is like reading a good book.
20 years ago, I'll bet the need for this pair of tools was still pretty good, but today I can't imagine there's much demand for them, hence the $2 price tag. Even the most nostalgic of car guys has to admit, the relegation of points to the obsolete shelf except for fully restored cars isn't a bad thing!
Another Tri-5 that caught my attention at the show was this original paint '56 BelAir 2-door sedan. A rare color combo to see around today, the Nassau Blue/Harbor Blue pairing was a very 50s style combo, and looked as good then as it does today. Chevy built 104,849 BelAir 2-door post cars in the '56 production run, making it the third most produced model in the BelAir line behind the 4-door sedan and Sport Coupe or "Hardtop" models.
This black beauty was definitely an eye catcher at the show. Owned by the nephew of famous AHRA/IHRA drag racer Bill Hielscher, aka "Mr. Bardhal". This black SS/RS 350 car was built in the first fourth months of '69 production, and featured some early production unique items. Mated behind the L-48 300 HP 350 was an M-21 with optional console, and a 12-bolt rear handling duty out back. With too many options to list in this brief paragraph, suffice to say this '69 was definitely a unique Camaro.
Now here's a rare bowtie indeed! This '58 Impala convertible looked to sport every option available in the sales brochure for the '58 model year! Aside from the rare 348 tri-power engine, this car came with a turboglide auto trans, A/C, power brakes, stoplight viewer, and a litany of other goodies. It seems like more and more '58 model Bowties are showing up at events in recent months, so it's nice to see the "odd" year cars seeing the light of day again. What most people don't realize, Chevrolet actually produced and sold more '58 models than the iconic '57 models.
While not a Z-16 or high horse 327 car, this 283 2-bbl equipped Malibu SS is still just as nice. Chevrolet's popular A-body was in its second year of production, and a moderate facelift over '64 gave the front end a more crisp, sporty look. The '64-'67 A-bodies were built on the same 115-inch wheelbase as the 55-56-57 model cars.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder. With GERD, stomach acid or other stomach contents frequently back up into the esophagus. The esophagus is a tube that runs from the back of the mouth to the stomach. The stomach acid irritates the esophagus and can create permanent damage over time.
The occasional back up of fluids is common and often called acid reflux or heartburn. GERD is the frequent occurrence of these symptoms, more than twice per week over several weeks. GERD will also have evidence of damage from the acid reflux.
A ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) manages the flow of food from the esophagus to the stomach. The LES relaxes to let food pass into the stomach then closes shut to help keep contents in the stomach. Sometimes the LES does not close properly or relaxes at inappropriate moments. This allows stomach acid and other contents to frequently pass back into the esophagus.
The stomach acid irritates the esophagus. It may contribute to breathing difficulties such as wheezing or congestion and damage to the voice. Overtime this irritation wears away the lining of the esophagus and can lead to complications such as bleeding, narrowing, or inflammation of the esophagus. The damage may also increase the risk of developing Barrett's esophagus.

Resin garden statues help to complement a backyard with artistic beauty. They give the garden character and aid in transforming an average backyard into a personalized oasis. There's plenty of garden statues to choose from but with so many poor quality statues available, it can be hard to know where to buy reliable, high quality statuary. Even if you find a store that carries the type of quality resin garden statues you have been searching for, they probably aren't going to sell for anything close to bargain prices. In fact, that high quality stone garden angel or animal statue will probably be downright expensive but since unique garden statuary is so hard to find in the first place, we tell ourselves all too often that the high prices are worth it.
Well, we might do that until we discover the place with the best prices for resin garden statues and when that happens, it just doesn't make sense to shop for backyard decor anywhere else. You won't find that "place" at the local mall or plaza. Instead, it's much easier to get to and requires nothing more than a means of accessing the Internet. If you want to find garden sculptures and statues that are unique, of high quality, and always on sale, just go to the on sale garden statues page at Design Toscano. Every sculpture shown is on sale and includes such stunning statues as Tian Shan, the Asian Garden Sculpture, the haunting French Pleaurant Statue, and dozens of other unique, high quality sculptures for the backyard.

#TheoryThursday: Occupy Love (Michael Hardt)
Posted 1 year ago on Feb. 12, 2014, 3:53 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
Tags: Theory, Thursday
"Happy Valentine's Day to all the Occupy lovers out there." - OSN
♥+ Love More. Fear Less. http://t.co/Vua7p3yhRg #occupylove pic.twitter.com/vGrkCoFiHA— Occupy Wall Street (@OccupyWallSt) February 13, 2014
What is it about love that makes it a compelling or politically interesting concept? What kind of work does love do politically that other concepts don't do?
Michael Hardt: One healthy thing love does is it breaks through a variety of conceptions about reason, passion, and the role of affect in politics. There are a number of other ways of doing this, but considering love as central to politics confounds the notion of interest as driving politics. Love makes central the role of affect within the political sphere.
Another thing that interests me is how love designates a transformative, collective power of politics – transformative, collective, and also sustained. If it were just a matter of the construction of social bonds and attachments, or rupture and transformation, it would be insufficient. For me, it would have to be a necessarily collective, transformative power in duration.
Lauren Berlant: We're looking for something, some way of talking about the possibility of an attachment to a kind of collectivity that doesn't exist yet. There are lots of things that can do that, like fascism, or the politically orchestrated forms of sociality that could do that. But we want the thing that includes a promise…
The thing I like about love as a concept for the possibility of the social is that love always means non-sovereignty. Love is always about violating your own attachment to your intentionality, without being anti-intentional. I like that love is greedy. You want incommensurate things and you want them now. And the now part is important.
When you plan social change, you have to imagine the world that you could promise, the world that could be seductive, the world you could induce people to want to leap into. But leaps are awkward, they're not actually that beautiful. When you land, you're probably going to fall, or hurt your ankle or hit someone. When you're asking for social change, you want to be able to say there will be some kind of cushion when we take the leap. What love does as a seduction for this, and has done historically for political theory, is to try to imagine some continuity on the affective level. One that isn't experienced at the historical, social or everyday level, but that still provides a kind of referential anchor affectively and as a political project.
Michael Hardt: Let me start with the non-sovereign thing. I like that. If one were to think a political project that would be based on or include love as a central motivation, you say, notions of sovereignty would be ruptured. That's very interesting and powerful. I assume we are talking about a variety of scales here simultaneously, where both the self and the social are not sovereign in love.
When we engage in love, we abandon at least a certain type of sovereignty. In what ways would sovereignty not be adequate in explaining a social formation that was grounded in love? If we were to think of the sovereign as the one who decides, in the social relation of love there is no one who decides. Which does not mean that there are no decisions but, rather, that there would be a non-one who decides. That seems like a challenging and interesting question: what is a non-sovereign social formation? How is decision-making then arrived at? These are the kinds of things that require modes of organization; that require, if not institutions, customs, or habits, at least certain means of organizing the decision-making process. In a politics of love, one of the interests for me is a non-sovereign politics, or a non-sovereign social formation.
By thinking love as political, as somehow centrally involved in a political project, it forces us to think through that non-sovereignty, both conceptually, but also practically, organizationally.
Davis: I'm really intrigued by the ways you both speak of how love is a project of non-sovereignty in terms of the social, the self, and the relationship between the social and nature. If you're trying to conceive of each of those layers with a certain consistency, whether that is a surface of habit or as an institution, then what is the difference between those formations and sovereignty?
Michael Hardt: I'll start with some basic things. I think within the tradition of political theory, it's not at all clear what a non-sovereign politics could be. It's hard to make such grand generalizations, but the tradition of political theory we inherit is fundamentally related to the role and decision making of the one, whether that one be the king, the party, the liberal individual, all of these. Here, decision-making can only be performed by the one, and so I think this is what Toni Negri and I have felt is interestingly challenging about the concept of multitude itself. How can a multiplicity decide? The organization of decision-making is central for me for thinking politics or political theory. I guess I would apply this to the level of the individual too. How can an individual as multiplicity, and hence as non-sovereign, decide and not be just an incoherent helpless heap? What I think is required for that, now back again at the level of political theory, is understanding how collective structures, or structures of multiplicity, can enable social decision-making. We also have a long tradition of the possibility of the democracy proper – the rule of the many – but it's a minor tradition, or sometimes a subterranean tradition. That seems to be one way of characterizing what's at stake, or challenging in this.
One other pedagogical way of thinking about this, that seems to me useful for posing the problem, is the long tradition in European, Chinese, and many other political theorizing that goes back thousands of years, which poses an analogy between the human body and the social body. In these traditions, the analogy is very explicit: the army is the arms, the peasants are the feet, the king is the head, and so forth. This assumes the centrality, hierarchy, and unity of the organs of the body that ground and justify the centrality and unity of the organs of the social body. The natural assumption, in Hobbes and any number of others, about the human body and its functions, are what make necessary that kind of social form.
So what if one were to take seriously the contemporary or even the last thirty years of neuroscience that talks about the non-centrality of thought processes and decision-making processes in the brain? What if we were to keep the analogy and say, well, actually the brain is not centered. It's an incredible complex of neurons firing and chemical processes. Thinking about the human body and the brain, in particular, as a non-centered multiplicity, would help us understand a radically different social body. I think that my inclination generally would be to throw out the analogy, but it's at least polemically interesting to say let's take the analogy and recognize it for what it is, and the functioning of the brain might help us understand that sovereignty was a mistaken idea in the first place for how the individual functions.
Lauren Berlant: I think "sovereignty" badly conceptualizes almost anything to which it's attached. It's an aspirational concept and, as often happens, aspirational concepts get treated as normative concepts, and then get traded and circulated as realism. And I think that's what happened with sovereignty. So, in "Slow Death," I say that perhaps we should throw sovereignty out, but people are so invested in it maybe we can't, because you can't just decide that ghosts don't exist…
