F'reeport is quite far re¬ moved from the paths usually trod¬ den by men of the fleet, so in order to reach them with some of that hospit¬ able spirit I decided to take a good supply of magazines with me when I returned to my ship. I do wish, good people, you could see how they were appreciated, it certainly made me feel good alijo. I told them of the recep¬ tion Freeport is givintf men of the colors and they promised to keep it in mind should they be in the vicinity. Magazines and periodicals, either recent or back numbers, are in great demand throughout the fleet. The boys are hungry for wholesome read¬ ing matter and if you have any ac¬ cumulation about the house that is be¬ coming an eyesore, do your bit by sending thetn to any ship or ships in the fleet, addressing them care of l)ostmaster.

10. Knowshon Moreno
Is it too early to call him a bust? In two games before getting hurt Moreno averaged just 2.8 yards per carry. His performance was so disappointing that the Broncos traded for Laurence Maroney (not too early to call him a bust). Moreno is expected to return to action this week.
9. DeAngelo Hall
According to Pro Football Focus, Hall has been targeted 24 times and has allowed 23 completions. Wow. Just by pure luck you'd think two or three of those passes would be dropped or slightly off target and fall incomplete. And he isn't just being targeted on short easy routes – he's allowed over 10 yards per completion.
8. Cadillac Williams
When are the Bucs finally going to give up on Williams? He's averaging just 2.5 yards per attempt, easily the lowest among starting running backs. He's been so bad that undrafted free agent LeGarrette Blount, who was cut by the Titans, is now splitting carries with Williams.
7. Ndamukong Suh
Suh was supposed to be an instant impact player. Many said he was one of the best defensive prospects to enter the draft in years. Sure, he's been credited with three sacks, but is that really a good way to measure interior lineman? He has been exposed as a liability against the run and opponents are taking advantage of the hole he creates in the middle of their defensive line. The Lions are giving up 4.8 yards per attempt – 4th highest average in the league.
6. Brian Robiskie/Mohamed Massaquoi
Maybe Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson weren't the problem in Cleveland last year. The Browns simply don't have a receiver who can make a play. The two 2009 2nd-round picks have failed to show any improvements in their second season. According to Pro Football Focus they rank 97th and 96th in percent of targeted passes caught – out of 97 qualifying receivers.
5. Michael Crabtree
After a strong end to his rookie season, Crabtree was a major reason why the 49ers were picked by many to win the NFC West. Yes, Alex Smith hasn't helped his cause but Crabtree hasn't helped Smith's either. He's caught just 11 of 21 passes thrown his direction. A true No. 1 receiver makes plays even on poorly thrown balls.
4. Michael Turner
Here's a scary thought: the Falcons are 3-1 with almost no help from Burner Turner. He's averaging just 3.8 yards per attempt this year. His career low entering this season was 4.5. He just hasn't looked like the big bruising back that terrorized the AFC South the past two seasons. But he's 28 and has never shied away from contact, perhaps he's simply nearing the end of the road.
3. Jared Allen
Where has the Vikings sack master been hiding this season? He has been credited with just one sack and has generally been a non-factor all season. His struggles have had a ripple effect throughout the Vikings defense. If he isn't getting to the quarterback, the rest of the unit suffers.
2. Chris Johnson
So much for all that talk about breaking Dickerson's rushing record. Johnson is averaging just 3.8 yards per attempt this season – nearly two full yards less than last season. Maybe teams have figured out how to stop him. Or maybe he's just worn out from his league-leading 358 carries last year.
1. Brett Favre
Maybe Favre should have hung up the cleats for good this time. He's already thrown six interceptions, just one fewer than all of last season. He's averaging just 6.2 yards per attempt, which would be a career low. And he's completing just 61 percent of his passes – down seven percentage points from last season. Any way you slice it, Favre has been this year's biggest underachiever.

In Windows 8, they REALLY don't want you to have a "Computer" icon on the taskbar. If you search for it, the only option they give you is to pin it to the start bar. If you tell it to "Show on the desktop", then right click it you only get the option to "Pin to start".
If you are like me and really miss an actual "Computer" button within reach of a single mouse click, here is how you create one.
1) Right click on the desktop and select new / shortcut
2) In the "Type the location of the item" box, enter the following
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /E,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
3) Press next.
4) For a name call it "Computer" (or what ever you want)
5) Click finish.
You should now have a homemade shortcut to computer on your desktop. This shortcut actually gives you the option when you right click it to "Pin to the taskbar".
I would recommend you go into the properties of the shortcut and change the icon to something else to your liking before you pin it. Once you get it pinned to the taskbar you can then delete the shortcut from the desktop.
I's like to note that the default icon is the same as the explorer icon so I forced myself to use a win95 era icon that was lying around my system for whatever reason.just so I knew it was my computer

Barbie® Doll as Jeannie From "I Dream Of Jeannie™"

Her flowing blond hair is pulled up in an elaborate ponytail that is wrapped with a hot pink hair band. The sheer pink veil wrapped around her head adds playful charm to her flirtatious nature.

The Climb, Rue de la Côte-du-Jalet, Pontoise (Chemin montant, rue de la Côte-du-Jalet, Pontoise)
In 1873 Pissarro settled in Pontoise, a town northwest of Paris. He particularly favored painting the adjoining valley village of L'Hermitage, which offered the artist a mix of geometric and organic shapes: new homes squarely built of white stucco, with angular pitched roofs, nestled among dense foliage. For this painting, Pissarro positioned himself halfway up a winding footpath and selected a downward view of the hamlet through the trees. The work demonstrates a broad array of painting techniques, from sure, singular touches for distant windows and doors to thick palette-knife applications for the foreground greenery. Despite the variety of surface textures, Pissarro unifies the composition tonally: the whites and creams of the architecture appear in the tree trunks and well-trodden path, while the cool blues and warm ochers of the roofs bleed through the green foliage.

New Dean Charts Global Course for School of Public Health
Trevathan Seeks to Build on Successes, Expand Programs
ST. LOUIS -- Edwin Trevathan, M.D., MPH, has been dean of Saint Louis University's School of Public Health for about three months and is ready to take on the world.
|Edwin Trevathan, M.D., MPH
"We are going to significantly enhance our global health activities," said Trevathan, who most recently directed the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta.
"Saint Louis University School of Public Health is in a wonderful position to marry our commitment to social justice with our ability to create programs that dramatically improve the health of people around the world. Making the world better is in our DNA. As the only accredited school of public health in a Jesuit or Catholic university, we have a moral imperative to not only think globally, but to act globally."
Trevathan is already discussing opportunities for collaboration with other global Jesuit organizations, such as the Jesuit Refugee Service.
"We are in a unique position to collaborate with great Jesuit and Catholic organizations to bring the School of Public Health expertise to the people of the developing world, as well as communities here at home that suffer from poor health outcomes," Trevathan added.
World health commitment
SLU's School of Public is building upon a tradition of global involvement.
Five years ago, Fernando Serrano, Ph.D., now an assistant professor of community health at SLU, led a team of colleagues to study environmental pollution in La Oroya, Peru. The team found high levels of metals in residents who lived near the Doe Run Peru metal smelter and refinery. Early next year, the SLU School of Public Health plans to bring leaders of Peruvian community groups and universities to campus to teach them how to put evidence-based environmental health initiatives into practice.
Roger Lewis, Ph.D., director of the division of environmental and occupational health, has been working in the shanty settlements of the Dominican Republic on a simple system that local businesses can set up to purify drinking water and prevent diseases such as childhood diarrhea, which can be deadly.
This week, Zhengmin Qian, M.D., Ph.D., an epidemiologist and associate professor of community health, and Trevathan are in Wuhan, China, to study the effects of air pollution on pregnant women. Qian has received a grant to evaluate whether air pollutants at levels found in developing Asian countries are linked to increased rates of preterm birth and low birth weight in Wuhan.
In many ways, Qian's work complements that of another School of Public Health epidemiologist, Louise Flick, DrPH, who is the principal investigator locally on the landmark National Children's Study. The largest long-term study of child health ever conducted in the U.S., the research project will include 100,000 participants representing all parts of the country. Its goal is to capture critical environmental and genetic data to improve the health of future generations of children.
Community involvement
"We need to not only be interested in the people around the world, but also those who are down the street. We need to ask ourselves, 'what are we doing to improve public health globally, in the bootheel of Missouri and in the St. Louis community?'" Trevathan said.
"Infant mortality rates in the inner city of St. Louis and in rural Missouri are comparable to those in developing countries. We can do better and must do better."
As the country struggles to find solutions to our exceptionally complicated health care system, graduates of health management and policy programs offered by schools of public health will be in high demand, Trevathan added.
"As a nation, we must find a way to depoliticize health care. Professionals who let the scientific evidence lead them to new opportunities for improved health must lead the way to improved health for future generations - a movement that transcends political ideology," he said.
Plans for growth
Trevathan plans to add faculty and increase the number of undergraduate programs. The School of Public Health currently offers undergraduate degrees in public health and in health management.
"The undergraduate public health programs are appealing and are in high demand," Trevathan said. "For instance, at one university there are 500 undergraduate students are on a waiting list, trying to get in to study public health. With our service-oriented mission, Saint Louis University School of Public Health is at the right place at the right time. This place is going to take off."
Accredited since 1991, Saint Louis University School of Public Health remains the only accredited school of public health in Missouri. It is one of 44 fully accredited public health schools in the U.S. and the only accredited Jesuit or Catholic school in the nation.
