Please join Iowa Public Radio in an encore broadcast at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 29, 2013 as members of Orchestra Iowa's Chamber Players bring to life Schubert's String Trio in Bb Major. Schubert wrote this piece during a time when he was involved in informal chamber music performances. The Orchestra Iowa Chamber Players also present a lively rendition of Mozart's Trio in C Major, written in the summer of 1788. Finally, the Chamber Players will fill the air with Faure's Piano Quartet in G minor. This piece is known for its tranquil and harmonically rich melodies.
(Concert recorded Sept. 21 and Sept. 23, 2012)

Editor's note: The following is a press release issued by District 202:
District 202 will serve breakfast through the national school lunch program at all of its elementary, middle and high schools by the end of the school year.
The District 202 Board of Education approved the additional service at its October 22, 2012 regular meeting. The new program will start at Plainfield South on Nov. 1, and will not cost the district anything.
Breakfast is already served ala carte at all four district high schools, said Angie Smith, assistant superintendent for business and operations. However, by serving it through the national school lunch program students approved for free or reduced-price lunch will also be able to get breakfast.
"Free" students would eat for $0, and "reduced" students would pay 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch.
The new breakfast program will be rolled out over the next several months, starting with the schools with the highest need, and high schools first.
"This is another way to help our families who are struggling because of the economy," Smith said.
Breakfast will be $1.60 at the high schools and $1.50 at elementary and middle schools. Menus and other communications will be sent to each building a week or two before service begins.
Families can apply for free and reduced meals by visiting the district website (www.psd202.org) and clicking on "Parents and Students," or through their home school. Families that have already been approved do not need to reapply.

iPhone Will Kill WAP, Says PC Mag
Jamie Lendino of PC Mag logs his thoughts on how iPhone might be the catalyst that brings about the demise of what we know as the "Mobile internet". I thought WAP was already dead? Not dead perhaps, but its zombified corpse crawls upon the ground, with flies and maggots feeding upon its rotting flesh.
The assertion in this story is that, unlike browsers found on Smartphones and feature phones, Safari renders real webpages like the desktop browser that it is, not the pipsqueak micro webpages you get on those other devices. Ergo, iPhone makes all that irrelevant.
Could iPhone spell doom for the Mobile web? Not by itself. OSX, the brains beneath iPhone's glossy veneer, is without a doubt a glimpse of things to come on mobile devices. But until desktop class operating become the norm on handsets, WAP or Mobile websites will be around for a long time to come.
Likewise until 3G becomes the norm, there is something to be said for lightweight webpages that download quickly and deliver basic content scaled to low resolution mobile displays.
Death will come, but it will come slowly.
There are 2 comments. Add yours.
but you are noticing how smaller versions of regular websites are being created specifically for iPhone? Wap as technology might be dying, but the idea of "smaller screen might require different layout" is not going anywhere...

At Stearns History Museum
Stearns History Museum and Research Center welcomes all active duty military personnel and their families to visit for free between Memorial Day and Labor Day 2013.
To kick-off this program, the Stearns History Museum is mounting a special We Love Our Soldiers (present and past) Event from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, June 1. This free event offers tours of the museum, and will include root beer floats and an outdoor scavenger hunt on the plaza (or indoor in the gallery if it rains).
Text excerpted from The Meeker REA Pioneer, October 1975.
Reprinted from the Tri-County News, Thursday, Sept. 18, 2003.
Forest City has a rich historical background. It was first visited by the white man in 1855. The beauty of the landscape along the Crow River enticed many of the early settlers to make Forest City and the surrounding area their new home.
As the new settlers arrived in 1856, they took up claims, erected log cabins, and began clearing the land.
There are a lot of "firsts" in Forest City town and township:
Major Highlights for the Week
Wednesday, May 13, 1863
Two corps of Major General Ulysses S. Grant's army moved towards Jackson, Miss., while Major General John A. McClernand's corps headed north to Clinton. At Jackson, Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston could only muster 12,000 men and knew that Grant's army stood between him Major General John C. Pemberton's army.
Skirmishes occurred at Mississippi Springs, along with Baldwin's Ferry and Hall's Ferry, all in Mississippi.
Spring is the time for birth. And when it comes to births, no one in Eden Valley history probably did it more than Dr. Charles (D.C.) O'Connor, who served the city from 1911-60.
At one time Dr. O'Connor was credited for helping give birth to as many as half the residents of Eden Valley. Remember, those early years of O'Connor's practice were times when expectant mothers did not go to the hospital to have babies; they delivered them in their homes.
At Dassel History Center
Lovers of history, archeology or Native American relics are in store for an interesting experience. A program about the ancient American Indian canoe that was found in Big Swan Lake, north of Dassel, in 1957 will be presented at the Dassel History Center at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19.

The war of words that has taken place this week on Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Patch articles is a perfect example of why Lake Forest High School District 115 needs not just new board members, but a whole new culture. The sniping which ensued after Nancy Thorner published an opinion piece calling into question the ever-increasing costs at the High School demonstrates clearly what so many have been complaining about, that the District 115 School Board lacks transparency, openness and accountability.
Without openness and transparency the local taxpayers simply do not receive enough information to feel comfortable that the Board is being a good steward of the assets entrusted to them. As a result, many local taxpayers have lost trust in the actions and decision making undertaken by this board. And Board member Burgener, has resorted to publically trashing Ms. Thorner, citing her presentations before the Board as "often foolish and misinformed rantings." Wow. This is conduct unbecoming the position to which he was elected and to which he seeks reelection.
If the board had had a culture that was more embracing of openness and complete transparency in all it does, people wouldn't be asking these questions, among many others. . .
§ How much was really spent on the recent high school renovations? Was it $54 million or $62 million?
§ How and why was an additional $8 million debt issue kept quiet and what exactly was the money spent on?
§ Why does the District now need another $5 million capital investment for items that it seems should have been part of the renovation completed just a few years ago.
§ How could $50+ million construction contract be awarded to a company owned and operated by the family of a current board member ?
§ How could the District's banking relationship be moved to an institution where the Superintendent was a board member of that institution?
§ What exactly was the offer by the Diamond Anniversary Campaign to the School Board and why did the School Board turn it down?
When people are asking these kinds of questions, it's easy to see why there is such a lack of trust in the existing School Board.
On April 9th our community has a tremendous opportunity to elect District 115 board members who can take the culture of our School Board in a new, more positive direction. To overcome the existing insular culture of group-think, the qualities that we should be looking for in new board members are independent thinking, ethics, openness and respect for the opinions of all the constituencies in the community. We all need to get familiar with each of the candidates so that we can assess them against these criteria.
For your reference I include links below to the Patch articles from this week which contain the back and forth commentary between the various parties.

A teenage booze hound – "I was hammered all the time" – Ailes said he "went to state school because they told me I could drink." There was another reason: His father kicked him out of the house when he graduated from high school. During his stint at Ohio University, where he studied radio and television, his parents divorced and left the house where he had spent so much of his childhood recovering from illness and injury. "I went back, the house was sold, all my stuff was gone," he recalled. "I never found my shit!" The shock seems to have left him with an almost pathological nostalgia for the trappings of small-town America.
In college, Ailes tried to join the Air Force ROTC but was rejected because of his health. So he became a drama geek, acting in a bevy of collegiate productions. The thespian streak never left Ailes: His first job out of college was as a gofer on The Mike Douglas Show, a nationally syndicated daytime variety show that featured aging stars like Jack Benny and Pearl Bailey in a world swooning for Elvis and the Beatles. In many ways, Ailes remains a creature of that earlier era. His 1950s manners, martini-dry ripostes and unreconstructed sexism give the feeling, says one intimate, "like you're talking to someone who's been under a rock for a couple of decades."
Ailes found his calling in television. He proved to be a TV wunderkind, charting a meteoric rise from gofer to executive producer by the age of 25. Ailes had an uncanny feel for stagecraft and how to make conversational performances pop on live television. But it was behind the scenes at Mike Douglas in 1967 that Ailes met the man who would set him on his path as the greatest political operative of his generation: Richard Milhous Nixon. The former vice president – whose stilted and sweaty debate performance against John F. Kennedy had helped doom his presidential bid in 1960 – was on a media tour to rehabilitate his image. Waiting with Nixon in his office before the show, Ailes needled his powerful guest. "The camera doesn't like you," he said. Nixon wasn't pleased. "It's a shame a man has to use gimmicks like television to get elected," he grumbled. "Television is not a gimmick," Ailes said. "And if you think it is, you'll lose again."
The exchange was a defining moment for both men. Nixon became convinced that he had met a boy genius who could market him to the American public. Ailes had fallen hard for his first candidate. He soon abandoned his high-powered job producing Westinghouse's biggest hit and signed on as Nixon's "executive producer for television." For Ailes, the infatuation was personal – and it is telling that the man who got him into politics would prove to be one of he most paranoid and dirty campaigners in the history of American politics. "I don't know anyone else around that I would have done it for," Ailes has said, "other than Nixon."
It was while working for Nixon that Ailes first experimented with blurring the distinction between journalism and politics, developing a knack for manipulating political imagery that would find its ultimate expression in Fox News. He knew his candidate was a disaster on TV. "You put him on television, you've got a problem right away," Ailes told reporter Joe McGinniss in The Selling of the President 1968. "He looks like somebody hung him in a closet overnight, and he jumps out in the morning with his suit all bunched up and starts running around saying, 'I want to be president.' "But the real problem, as Ailes saw it, was a media establishment that he viewed as hostile to Republicans. The "only hope," he recalled, "was to go around the press and go directly to the people" – letting the campaign itself shape the candidate's image for the average voter, "without it being interpreted for him by a middleman."
To bypass journalists, Ailes made Nixon the star of his own traveling roadshow – a series of contrived, newslike events that the campaign paid to broadcast in local markets across the country. Nixon would appear on camera in theaters packed with GOP partisans – "an applause machine," Ailes said, "that's all that they are." Then he would field questions from six voters, hand-selected by the campaign, who could be counted on to lob softball queries that played to Nixon's talking points. At the time, Nixon was consciously stoking the anger of white voters aggrieved by the advances of the civil rights movement, and Ailes proved eager to play the race card. To balance an obligatory "Negro" on a panel in Philadelphia, Ailes dreamed of adding a "good, mean Wallacite cab driver. Wouldn't that be great? Some guy to sit there and say, 'Awright, Mac, what about these niggers?'"

However, Rita's daughter, a nurse, was very concerned about her mother's leg. By the time she saw her mother two weeks after the injury occurred, the wound had discolored. She immediately called Grand View's Wound Care Center to schedule an appointment for the next day.
"On her first visit, Rita's wound was sizeable and growing worse," said Wound Care Center Program Director Jody Hanks. The non-healing wound was caused by impaired blood flow from the legs to the heart. A physician specially trained in wound care treated it using debridement - a surgical procedure. To ease discomfort and reduce infection, ointments were applied to the ulcer, and the wound was wrapped with special dressings to keep moisture in, and air and water out. Rita wore compression stockings continuously and received debridement treatments twice a week until her wound fully healed.
"Rita is strong, poised, and focused on others," Hanks said. "Our entire staff looked forward to her stories." Likewise, Rita enjoyed visiting with the staff. "I didn't mind the treatments because the staff was so kind," she said.
At age 82, Rita doesn't neglect her health, but life had taught her to take discomfort in stride. As a teenager in Germany during World II, Rita's home was bombed, her father was imprisoned, and her family had barely enough food to survive. They lived in constant fear of enemy soldiers.
Rita suspects her susceptibility to non-healing wounds was caused by the malnutrition she experienced during the war. While still in her teens, her hunger was so fierce she risked being caught violating curfew to sneak to the countryside at night. There, she foraged for whatever she could find - wheat kernels, potatoes, and corn. She even traded jewelry for milk.
Fortunately, Rita's family eventually relocated to Schleswig Holstein, near the Danish border, once her father returned from prison. There she met Helmut Seidler, an engineer. They married and emigrated first to Canada and then to America. They eventually settled in Schwenksville.
Today, Rita is active in her church - particularly with the food pantry. "I know what it's like to be hungry," she said. "Most people cry the first time they come. They don't want to be here, but I let them know it's going to be all right. It gives me joy to help them."

Calvin Coolidge Elementary Asbestos Update
8/19/2013 (Updated 8:10:09 PM)Following the recent discovery of asbestos at Calvin Coolidge Elementary, it's still up in the air as to where its students will begin their new year.
The school district held a closed meeting Monday with faculty and staff to discuss possible relocation while the clean up continues.
Abatement began Saturday morning and there is no timetable for it's completion meaning the school might be closed at the start of the school year.
"We are preparing that we won't be able to open on September 4th. So we are starting to look at different relocation plans both within the district and alternate sites as options," said Karry Mullins, Assistant Superintendent, BCSD.
"I think it will be a smooth transition, we have excellent teachers, very supportive staff, and we're working hard to work together," said Valerie Degennaro, 4th and 5th Grade Special Education Teacher at Coolidge.
Tuesday, the board of education and district officials meet.
On Thursday school officials will meet with parents at the Columbus School on Hawley Street at 6:00pm.

The lipid hypothesis is a hot debate. Are serum cholesterol levels a risk factor for heart disease, heart attacks and strokes it is portrayed to be? That depends on who you ask.
The theory is widely accepted, but not all physicians buy into it. Nor do all patients buy into it either.
I have three personal friends who are physicians. None of which believe the cholesterol theory.
There is also a growing body of physicians, researchers and medical professionals who no longer believe in the lipid hypothesis.
I myself used to believe in it, but have taken a 180 degree turn as I personally no longer subscribe to the theory.
But to each his own. You will have to look at the evidence like you are on a Jury, then decide for yourself.
But be prepared for this to take some time. It took me several years to change my position. Finally the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle came together, and I no longer viewed cholesterol as a villain.
I wish you the best.
And then there's this;
Here's a link, the CDC attributes the number of deaths averted to the identification and control of risk factors including cholesterol.
Seems pretty well substantiated to me, but that's just my opinion. It makes sense, but to each their own.
This graph is from the NIH. The red ink are my notations. Statins did nothing to enhance the rate of decline in heart disease. The rate of decline pre and post statins was unchanged.
It is human nature to try to read more into graphs like these and it is very easy to see a potential to back any position when they are not used for the purpose intended based on the data used. Its a rule of statistics.
"you can not draw any conclusion based on this information as you don't know how statins entered the market and at what rate."
Completely false. Sales records document the rise in statin prescriptions.
We do know how statins entered the market. And we know Lipitor quickly rose to become the hottest selling drug of all time.
But its irrelevant because the graph clearly shows statins did NOTHING, ZIP, NADA to enhance the decline rate.
Nothing changed after statins.
Again, Thank you.
The law of diminishing returns (also law of diminishing marginal returns or law of increasing relative cost) states that in all productive processes, adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant ("ceteris paribus "), will at some point yield lower per-unit return. The law of diminishing returns does not imply that adding more of a factor will decrease the total production, a condition known as negative returns, though in fact this is common.
Simply put, without knowing the impact of all variables against a known trend, you can not exclude any of the individual variables, it's statistical fact. One can certainly say that their opinion is that one was more or less inclusive, but it is just not a proveable fact given the data presented.
For example, perhaps the trend line represents all improvements in treating heart disease, some worked well some did not, yet they still had a positive effect of the trend line. One treatment is replaced by a new one, the trend lone continues. Personal lifestyles improve while outside influences work as a negative force, the trend line continues and so on. In this theory the trend line is a coincidence.
You can disagree with my opinion, but my rationalisation is correct. This is how I earn a living and I am immersed in this logic daily.
Ancel Keys who back in the 50's and 60's was famous for his "seven countries study" believed cholesterol levels were associated with the development of Cardiovascular disease.
He set out to show consumption of saturated fat led to higher serum cholesterol and thus induced arterial blockages.
Although the theory was around back in early 1900's, Ancel keys is considered the father of the lipid hypothesis because he propelled it into mainstream acceptance.
Keys famous seven country study compared seven nations and their saturated fat intake/ cholesterol levels against deaths from Heart disease.
Keys documented his findings on graph showing the relationship between the 7 countries saturated fat intake and heart disease. He won a huge prize and got his picture on the cover of a national magazine.
Just one minor problem. The world has 200 countries. Keys only looked at seven. Data was available on 22 countries at the time, but keys kicked out the data that didn't support his hypothesis.
If we include the kicked out data on key's 7 country graph, the theory crumbles into dust. The dots don't line up.
Today we now know half the heart attacks happen to people with lower cholesterol, while the other half happen to people with higher cholesterol. Using total serum cholesterol as a predictor of heart attack risk is a 50/50 gamble. Like tossing a coin. Heads you might, tails you might.
So if cholesterol levels are to blame in developing heart disease, which do we blame? The higher or the lower?
Major findingsMajor findings from the Framingham Heart Study, according to the researchers themselves:[15>
1960sCigarette smoking increases risk of heart disease. Increased cholesterol and elevated blood pressure increase risk of heart disease. Exercise decreases risk of heart disease, and obesity increases it.1970sElevated blood pressure increases risk of stroke. In women who are postmenopausal, risk of heart disease is increased, compared with women who are premenopausal. Psychosocial factors affect risk of heart disease.1980sHigh levels of HDL cholesterol reduce risk of heart disease.
This is actually statistically incorrect. From researchers at Harvard Med;
[a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" name="#top">This myth is often quoted, and, if it were true, would have a frightening implication: Any of us, anytime, could be suddenly stricken down by a heart attack. For a generation of aging baby boomers, the logical next step is a search for further information that might provide reassurance that this is not going to happen to me!
The kind of "next steps" that many people are taking include getting electron-beam CT scans of the heart, exercise tests and echocardiograms and blood tests — all in search of that "clean bill of health." These tests are expensive, and rarely give that complete reassurance that is desired. In fact, they often lead to sleepless nights and even more tests.
Medical studies on several hundred thousand people have found that 80% to 90% of people who developed heart disease, and more than 95% of patients who died of heart disease, had at least one of the four major cardiac risk factors.
In other words, of people who "drop dead" from a heart attack, fewer than one out of 20 had no warning because they had none of these four risk factors. So if you do not smoke, do not have diabetes, have normal blood pressure, and your lipid levels are not at high-risk levels, your heart disease risk is really quite low.
The reality is that of those that die with a normal cholesterol levels, the vast majority have at least one risk factor for heart disease, including high cholesterol.

PINEHURST — As golfers perfected their putts on the practice green Wednesday, a few of the bags scattered about werent quite like the others.
They werent the 50-pound leather bags covered with sponsors logos the ones used by professionals. Rather, they were the nylon and canvas bags common on municipal courses, with their pop-out support legs and college markings. There were two crimson Alabama bags, a black and gold Vanderbilt and another with an unmistakable Oregon O.
These were the bags belonging to a few of the 11 amateurs in the U.S. Open field. They range in age from 17 (Will Grimmer) to 22 (Cory Whitsett, owner of one of the Alabama bags). Matthew Fitzpatrick has played in the most professional tournaments (four). Two of them have finished as the low amateur in previous majors (Fitzpatrick at the 2013 British Open and Oliver Goss at the 2014 Masters). Seven of them will be teeing it up with the pros for the first time. And three made the field as alternates, turning just-misses into just-makes. Brandon McIver, a rising junior and owner of the Orgeon bag, learned he was in the field while on a plane Sunday, flying from Los Angeles to Raleigh.
As the first alternate, he had privileges to the practice areas at Pinehurst, so he boarded the flight from LAX to RDU with Oregon assistant coach Van Williams. In true 2014 fashion, he found out he was in via a text message from the USGA.
I was using the WiFi, and I didnt know that iMessage worked with WiFi while in the air, so, I got the message, and it was all surreal, McIver said. I tried to hold my excitement in, but as soon as I found out, I unbuckled my seat belt and went back to my assistant coach, who was there, and told him.
His first look at the course came on Monday, with Jim Furyk. Tuesday, he played with Brandt Snedeker and Bill Haas.
Playing with those guys and seeing them in person when Im so used to watching them on TV is pretty amazing, he said.
Snedeker and Haas also helped break in another amateur on Monday. Hunter Stewart, a rising senior at Vanderbilt, walked up to the first tee with the two former FedEx Cup winners a bit nerve-wracking, he said and yanked a 4-iron. He settled in from there.
It wasnt his first trip to Pinehurst No. 2 Stewart was on hand in 2005, as Michael Campbell made his improbable run to victory.
I was 12 years old, Stewart said. A family friend has a house here, and we went to the Open. He said maybe one day you can play here, and, sure enough, here I am.
Robby Shelton, the NCAA freshman golfer of the year for national champion Alabama, partnered with Whitsett, his college teammate, and turned their Tuesday practice round into an informal SEC match against professionals Harris English and Hudson Swafford, two Georgia grads. The amateurs said they won not a feat that occurs often, in any capacity, at the U.S. Open (John Goodman was the last amateur to win the championship, in 1933).

Sustained hypotension is a life threatening situation where the body's major organs (kidney, liver, brain, and heart) can
experience irreversible damage from inadequate perfusion pressure. Veterinary technicians may encounter hypotension frequently
when caring for emergency and critical care patients, as well as anesthetized or post operative patients who are frequently
at risk of systemic hypotension.
Hypotension is not a disease process in itself but rather a failure of normal regulatory mechanisms. Regulation of blood pressure
is controlled by neural response, hormonal actions, and local metabolite release such as baroreceptor activation, catecholamines
and anti-diruretic hormone, and nitric oxide respectively. Hypotension can result from many underlying conditions and causes
are generally referred to as one of three categories: decreased preload, decreased cardiac output, and decreased systemic
vascular resistance. Some of the most common causes are hypovolemia, cardiogenic shock, sepsis and anesthesia respectively.
Physiology of blood pressure
Blood pressure is broken down into three different measurements and is measured in mmHG. Systolic arterial pressure (SAP)
is the pressure generated by the left ventricle in full contraction (systole). Diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) represents
the lowest pressure of arteries during cardiac filling (diastole). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average of pressure
in the arteries during the entire cardiac cycle. MAP is more affected by DAP because most of the cardiac cycle is spent in
diastole. Adequate perfusion of the body's organs is judged by MAP, but coronary artery perfusion actually takes place during
diastole. MAP can be roughly approximated by adding one third of SAP value to two thirds DAP value.

I picked up 12 Soundstream Van Gogh Amps 4-VGA600.2 8-VGA400.2 and Two Soundstream DV10 Subs. The Van Gogh Amps (VGA600.2) are rated
4Ohm Stereo/2Ohm Stereo/4Ohm Mono
VGA600.2 / 150w X 2ch / 300w X 2ch / 600w X 1ch
Can I run Two 4Ohm Subs in Stereo???? I do not know how to get two 4Ohm subs to see the 4Ohm Bridged Mono?
The subs conected would be Alpine Type R 10" Dual Voice Coil 2Ohm+2Ohm but could get the Dual 4Ohm+4Ohm (If I went with the Dual 4+4 could I get a 4Ohm Load from both so the amp could power them in Mono?
I just want to power the two subs with one amp but not sure how to run since it will only show Mono at 4Ohms.
Thanks For the help???????

U.S. News Rankings
|Ranking score and category
Beloit College is a private institution that was founded in 1846. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 1,359, its setting is urban, and the campus size is 47 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Beloit College's ranking in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges is National Liberal Arts Colleges, 59. Its tuition and fees are $41,250 (2013-14).
Although the town of Beloit, Wisconsin, may be best known for having the world's largest can of chili, Wisconsin's oldest college also resides here. Beloit College, located 90 miles northwest of Chicago and about an hour south of Milwaukee, is nestled on a 40-acre, New England-style campus situated on river bluffs and surrounded by American Indian mounds. On campus, students have many opportunities to get involved in activities, with more than 100 student-run clubs and organizations and six fraternities and sororities. Beloit College competes in the Division III Midwest Conference and sponsors 19 intercollegiate varsity teams. Intramural, club and varsity sports are very popular at Beloit, with about 70 percent of students taking part in athletics. Nearly all students live on campus during their entire college career, but students have opportunities to travel away from the area. About half of all Beloit students study abroad in places such as Brazil, China, Germany and many other countries. Although this campus is located in the Midwest, Beloit's student population has an international flavor. About 10 percent of the students are from countries outside the United States and, each year, students have the opportunity to share their cultural experiences through an event called International Symposium, a day when classes are cancelled so everyone can attend the presentations.
Beloit College has a sense of humor when it comes to its incoming freshman class. Every August, the college releases the "Mindset List," which provides a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college that year. The list began as a reminder to faculty to be aware of dated references, but it has since become a yearly tradition that has garnered considerable national attention. The school is also known for its success in sending students to post-graduate programs, ranking among the top 20 liberal arts colleges in the country for the number of graduates who go on to earn a Ph.D. Ultimate Frisbee is a favorite campus pastime, and the activity has landed 30 Beloit students in the record books for longest continual game by playing for more than 72 hours.
|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
Beloit College offers students an education that is put into action. With extensive opportunities to study abroad, engage in internships and field terms, collaborate with professors, start businesses, form clubs, and play sports, students plunge into campus life, get their hands dirty, and emerge with the experiences and global knowledge to live meaningfully and productively in the 21st century. Since its founding over 165 years ago, Beloit's 1250 students--from nearly every state and over 40 foreign countries--are at home in the world of ideas and leave the college, able to make critical connections between thought and action. Beloit boasts two teaching museums (anthropology and art), a state-of-the-art science center, a newly renovated track and turf field at the stadium, and a lush, green campus reminiscent of its New England heritage. Ninety-four percent of students live on campus, creating a tight-knit community of creative, interesting, and engaged learners. Surprisingly, an education this rich in opportunity can be affordable. Over 90% of students are receiving financial aid with the average grant exceeding $22,000. A founding member of The Colleges That Change Lives, Beloit College continues to transform young adults into this nation's leaders in business, education, the for- and non-profit sectors, government, and global industries.

|Hilltoppers Handcuff Seahawks, 73-58
BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky – Junior forward George Fant scored 12 of his game-high 16 points in a six-minute stretch late in the game to power Western Kentucky past UNCW, 73-58, Thursday night in an opening-game matchup of the exempt Roundball Classic at historic E.A. Diddle Arena.
The Hilltoppers of the Sun Belt Conference won their second in a row and improved to 2-1 with the win in the first meeting between the two teams. The Seahawks had a three-game winning streak halted and stand 3-3 on the young season.
Fant, a 6-6, 245-pound pile of muscle, had just two points on one field goal attempt in the opening 20 minutes, but came alive after the break to send the Hilltoppers past the Seahawks. Fant wound up connecting on 5-of-7 shots and added 6-of-10 at the charity stripe to go along with eight rebounds for his complete stat line.
Junior guard T.J. Price added 14 points and senior shooter Caden Dickerson finished with 12 for WKU, which shot 43.1 percent on the night.
Junior forward Cedrick Williams paced the Seahawks in scoring for the fourth time in six outings with 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Junior guard Addison Spruill was the only other Seahawk in double figures with 11 points.
"Western Kentucky came out with a lot of energy and their big guy had a good night," said fourth-year UNCW Head Coach Buzz Peterson. "We came out flat and it looked like we were tired. We didn't get the ball inside enough and missed too many easy layups.
"Defense got us back into the game, but we missed some layups and you've got to have those. We have to play again in less than 48 hours, so we've got to watch some game tape and get ready to go."
WKU carved out a 32-24 lead at halftime and pushed the margin to 13 points with just over nine minutes remaining before UNCW rallied to throw a scare into the red towel-waving Hilltopper faithful.
Back-to-back buckets by Freddie Jackson sliced the deficit to 42-35 with 12:29 left to play, setting the stage for Fant's heroics. WKU's go-to guy answered Jackson with a basket inside to start a string of 12 consecutive points and he capped the spurt with a dunk at 5:30 to give the Hilltoppers a 54-44 advantage.
UNCW rallied again, however, scoring on a pair of free throws by Williams and a bank shot by Spruill, to get within 54-48 at 4:48.
But Dickerson sank a pair of key three-pointers on consecutive trips down the court to extend the lead back to 60-48 and the Hilltoppers went 10-of-12 at the charity stripe the rest of the way to seal the victory.
Williams got the Seahawks on the board just 40 seconds into the contest for their only lead of the game, but the Seahawks plummeted into a cold spell that lasted the first 12 minutes of the game. UNCW missed 14 of its first 18 field goal attempts and the chilly start dug a hole early for Peterson's club.
After a driving bank shot by Spruill closed the deficit to 7-6 with 15:31 left, the Hilltoppers used a 14-2 spurt to take control. A jumper in front of the Seahawk bench by Dickerson gave WKU a 21-8 cushion with just under eight minutes left in the first period.
Redshirt sophomore Luke Hager's triple from the left corner capped an 11-5 spurt for the Seahawks to chop the margin to 26-19 with 3:24 left in the half. But WKU responded with another 6-0 mini-run to get the lead back to 32-19 before Williams had a dunk and Tanner Milson sank a trifecta to make the score 32-24 at intermission.
GAME NOTES: It was UNCW's first appearance at 60-year-old E.A. Diddle Arena…The Seahawks played their fifth road game in six outings…Peterson used the same starting lineup for the fourth consecutive game…UNCW had 13 turnovers to eight for WKU…The Seahawks went 3-of-15 (.200) behind the arc and 9-of-16 (.563) at the free throw line…All five UNCW starters had at least five rebounds…WKU's largest lead of the game of 16 points came with 56 seconds left…The Seahawks were outrebounded, 39-37…Williams had three of UNCW's eight blocks on the night.

Representatives of the Greater Johnstown/Cambria County Convention and Visitors Bureau are hitting the road to promote the area as an ideal travel destination.
They plan to attend the Timonium Motorcycle Show in Maryland from Friday through Sunday to spotlight Thunder in the Valley and the Laurel Highlands region.
"This is part of the International Motorcycle Shows series that are held across the country, and we do a few in the states closer to us," said Jayne Korenoski, the visitors bureau's advertising and sales director.
Representatives attended shows in January at New York City and Cleveland, where they handed out visitors guides and information on lodging and attractions. They also spoke to people who were interested in coming to the area and attending the Thunder motorcycle rally.
"Each of these shows attracts approximately 80,000 people. It's unbelievable," Korenoski said.
"This is the 16th year of our rally. We aren't new, but we're meeting people who haven't heard of it, so this is a great way to get the word out."
Korenoski said they used to attend four International Motorcycle Shows a year, but scaled back to three because of budget cuts.
"The Timonium show reaches the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., markets so that makes up for it," she said.
In addition, the bureau partnered with Crown American Hotels to attend the AAA Great Vacations Expo that was held Jan. 18-20 in Columbus, Ohio. Cambria County was represented along with resorts and spas, sport and adventure travel, and cruises.
The consumer travel show's goal was to establish brand recognition and relationships with potential visitors.
Korenoski said it's important to have a presence at these types of events because each year they're seeing more motorcycle rallies popping up and they need to keep Thunder in the forefront of people's minds.
"We want to be out there talking to people and telling them to come to our rally so when they are making decisions about where to spend their money or vacation time, they'll think of us," she said.

Welcome to another day of Dressing Up Dolly!
Make sure you enter the fun giveaway this week for 2 doll outfits of your choice :)
Today I have another fun outfit to share with you for American Girl Doll or any 18″ doll.
I made her little dress using the FREE tee pattern from last week
Same pattern but this time I used the short sleeves option and instead of the band on the bottom of the tee I added a full skirt
Easy peasy modification for a whole new look
And then dolly's feet seemed a bit cold so I whipped up some little boots
Free pattern is below. Just open it in a new window and print so it fills the whole page. Oh and the boot portion should be "cut 2 in 2 different fabrics"
1. With right sides together sew the boot pieces together along the front and back seams.
Ignore that my pieces are different sizes…
2. With right sides together slide the boots over each and sew together around the upper edge
3. Turn the upper boot right side out, sew to the sole and you're finished!
These work best with material with some stretch so you can get them on and off. I haven't tried but you could probably do a single layer in felt. It's sturdy enough that you could skip the lining

This movie about college a cappella groups isn't sharp or flat. The script and cast are in such harmony in "Pitch Perfect," it is definitely a Glee-ful hit.
Anna Kendrick, who's rapidly becoming the most versatile young actor in Hollywood, plays Beca, a college freshman with the social skills of a feral cat. Anyone gets close and they could end up feeling her wrath.
Only blackmail by her father gets her to agree to take part in an on-campus group. Her love of music leads her to Barden University's The Bellas, an all-female singing group that missed out on a national title the year before when the lead singer (Anna Camp) projected more than her voice into the first three rows.
This legacy makes it hard to attract the "bikini-ready" singers of the past, resulting in the motliest college crew since "Revenge of the Nerds."
Along with the anti-social Beca is the overly confident Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), the sex-starved Stacie (Alexis Knapp), low-talker psycho Lilly (Hana Mae Lee) and vocally troubled Chloe (Brittany Snow).
Kay Cannon's screenplay, based on Mickey Rapkin's book, is the right mix of outlandish humor and musical energy. There's no way these genres should work as a duet, but the blend is as smooth and funny as a mashup of albums by Bill Cosby and Miles Davis.
Jason Moore makes an impressive film directing debut as he finds a way for every member of this large comedy ensemble to have their moment. He uses an up-tempo beat to keep the jokes coming, only letting up for the very impressively staged musical numbers.
As an added bonus, John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks are hilarious as former a cappella singers who now do the announcing and color commentary for the competition telecasts. Banks is particularly funny with a delivery that's so deadpan it masks just how inappropriate her comments are. There hasn't been such a funny commentary team since "Best in Show."
It would have been very easy to tune out "Pitch Perfect" after so many seasons of "Glee." But from the always dependable acting of Kendrick to the in-synch direction of Moore, this production is a comedy octave higher than any episode of the TV series.
Rated PG-13 for language, drug use, sexual content.
Stars Anna Kendrick, Anna Camp, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Alexis Knapp, Hanna Mae Lee, Elizabeth Banks.
Directed by Jason Moore.
Running time: 1 hour, 52 minutes.
Grade: 2.5 stars out of 4

Yesterday I had to go out of town and when this happens I get stressed out....as I do not like traveling on the interstate....so many people on the road not paying attention to what they are doing....some on the phone or doing other things to distract themselves...I have problems just trying to watch where I am going and trying to figure out what other people are doing as well. Anyway....I got my errand done and I was so glad when this was over with. That was my day, for the most part.
Last night my younger son dropped by to talk to me. He and his wife are expecting our 4th grand child. Well, she had an ultrasound and something has showed up about the baby's kidneys. They are going to do other tests and keep watch on this. I am asking for those of you who care to keep this baby and my family in your thoughts and prayers. I could see he is really worried about this and my daughter in law is upset about all of this....which is not good for the baby either. I told him that we have been through a lot and there are things which I do not understand but that we should trust GOD with whatever we have to face. There actually is no other way than to do this. I truly believe that GOD does not make mistakes and whatever HE provides us with, we have to accept and do the best that we can with what we have.
The medical technology is so advanced these days and they check for anything and everything as babies are being developed. It is quite interesting just what and how this is done.
So much going on everywhere. Perhaps it is because we all now have the internet and other means to keep up with things which are reported. I know that I think some days that I have a lot to deal with and then I hear what others are facing....well then, my problems seem to be very small and not quite as bad as I thought they were....sometimes just a needle in a haystack.
OK...off my soapbox this morning.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our FM support group recently. I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better. It does take a trial and error process to find the *right combination of tools* that will work....so hang in here with us and learn from what others have found that has helped them cope better. You should also be aware though that what works for one person may or may not work for someone else. We, FMers, must keep on keeping on.
As for me...I am doing ok with my vitamins and supplements still. I am still quite amazed that I have found what works for my lower back pain....I know that the P5P is working since there are times when it starts and I take it and within a short time, the pain eases off. This has been a good thing for me.
Vitamin D....so important for a lot of people these days. Be sure and speak to your doctor about getting your Vitamin D level checked....low Vitamin D can cause some people to have additional pain and it can also affect other illnesses as well.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I hope everyone had a good night's rest and that today will be a good day for us all. Remember to pace, pace and pace again.
Mimi I just jotted your future grandbaby in my prayer notebook right next to Nancy B's future grandbaby. God knows best--but also-- sometimes the drs are wrong.
My daughter's first pregnancy they gave her a RX of a narcotic and told her they thought she was miscarrying--she didn't take the pills thankfully, cuz she was not miscarrying. And my peanut Evie Lou is healthy, strong and beautiful.
Doctors aren't always right, but even if they are--God can heal or He will just be with you every step of the way to do whatever is needed for the baby and for the family. As you know.
Well Hubby had his interview and really really liked the company. So, dunno if they will offer him a job-- we shall see. I am praying.
It would be nice to have him near home. So we don't have to keep 2 places to live- very spendy. Though he probably would need to take less money, we can tighten our belts, it will be good practice for retirement years as no way we'll have a lot at that point. At least I don't think so.
Been having lovely days--but big storms around dinner time. We also have a 2nd invasion of mayflies here but I think they may have been mostly killed by the storm last night.
They're so fragile looking. almost pretty--although my windows are covered now in spider webs containing dead ones and that is not so pretty--nor is it something I can reach to clean. But Hubby will be home tomorrow probably and here for a week--so he'll do it.
God Bless All! and have a good day! hopefully without too much pain.
You are so right....doctors do NOT always know and have all of the answers....with the medical technology these days....they check for everything. I told my younger son last night that we, as a family, have been *blessed or cursed* with many things....(especially lately) and that I know GOD does not give us any more than what we can deal with. There are many things which I have NOT understood nor will probably ever know the answers to....as some of them are so complex and complicated....that I do not even try any more to understand....we just figure out a way to deal with what we have and then move on. This is all that we can do.
I hope that things work out for your DH and that he will soon find a job close to home so that he will be able to be there with you. I do not even know how you can stand being by yourself.
Thanks again for adding my future grandbaby to your prayer book.
Take care and have a nice day.
I guess it could have been worse. Right?
Cool and humid here in southeastern Mass. The past few days have had rain, and it's been SOO muggy! The Weather Channel says rain and t0storms over the next few days. So the grass will grow, but it will be too wet to mow!
We had an election here Tuesday, and I worked the polls. They didn't bother to turn on the AC in the high school gym, and it was awful - hot and humid. Most of the workers are seniors, and I was afraid one would be overcome by the conditions, but everyone stayed strong. I think if we had to be up and around it would have been a different story. I have to admit I wanted to go out for some fresh air, but it was awful outside too.
Work continues to take me away from my friends here, but I'm not complaining too much.The project is smaller than they thought, so I go a day or two every week. Income is good, free time is good. I feel balanced for the first time in awhile.
I'm meeting a friend for lunch, another perk of this project. I wish you all the best day you can possibly have,
But, of course, you, DH, son, D-in-Law, and most importantly baby are already in my prayers. Our church group has a prayer chain, and your family has been anonymously on it ever since I first read your posts. We pray for "M" and her family.
I took your advice and am trying the P5P. It's too soon to notice any change, but it was certainly worth trying.
With all my prayers,
Gentle hugs, Linda R

In Cary, buildings must be kept in tiptop shape.
Except, apparently, when they look worn out.
Dick and Jean Ladd own the downtown building that contains the Kitchen & Bath Galleries store. Its brick exterior is well-maintained but very ordinary looking. Painting it an understated tan color must have sounded like a good idea just the kind of thing to brighten downtown.
Whoa, were talking about Cary!
The paint job was only partly done when a municipal worker threatened to fine the Ladds for violating a town regulation demanding that the inherent color of brick, concrete, and stone be left in their natural state to weather over time.
What style is that? Early Detroit? Contemporary Cleveland?
The Ladds battled the ruling. Now the case and the paint job are in limbo.
Heres the core problem with this mess: If we dont know what the law is, we are at the mercy of our rulers; they can play a game of Gotcha! by pulling out the ordinance book and hitting us over the head with it.
This is just one more incident showing Cary has so many obscure regulations that even conscientious owners cant keep up with them.
Moreover, this regulation runs totally contrary to common sense. With all Carys fussy rules, youd assume that sprucing up the building would win a prize.
But nope.
So I dont blame the Ladds if they never imagined the town could pass and enforce such a bizarre regulation.
Obscure, complex or nonsensical rules are unfair from the get-go. Carys maze of rules transforms us residents into serfs who must go hat in hand to our masters in Town Hall to find out what the laws are and beg for permission to do ordinary things, such as paint our own buildings.
The council is considering judging all painting of brick buildings on a case-by-case basis.
Oh, just what Cary needs: more legal minutia.
Painting your building should be your decision. After all, its really true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder not the bureaucrat.

Millions of American women have used the Mirena IUD (Intrauterine Device) as a birth control method. Since Mirena is the only hormonal IUD approved by the FDA – and because it prevents pregnancy for up to five years after insertion – Mirena has become extremely popular among women of all ages. Despite its popularity, however, numerous women have come forward alleging serious Mirena IUD side effects, including pelvic inflammatory disease, perforation of the uterus or cervix, ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine pregnancy, pelvic pain, and more. Some of these injuries occur because the body rejects the T-shaped plastic device as a foreign object, causing it to become dislodged and puncture or embed itself into the uterus. It may also travel outside the uterine cavity and cause scarring and infertility.
Numerous Mirena injury lawsuits have been filed against Bayer, the device's manufacturer, alleging Bayer overstated the benefits of the Mirena IUD while understating its potential complications. Had these women known the truth about the potential side effects of Mirena, they never would have chosen to use Mirena as their birth control method and would not have sustained the serious injuries they allege. These women deserve to be compensated for their pain and suffering, which is why a Mirena IUD Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Investigation has been launched to give these victims a voice.
Who's Affected
If you or a loved was implanted with a Mirena IUD and suffered side effects like pelvic inflammatory disease, perforation of the uterus or cervix, ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine pregnancy, pelvic pain, infection or more, you may have legal claim for injury compensation.
NEXT STEP: Get Help – It's FREE
If you or a loved one were injured by Mirena IUD birth control, the Mirena injury attorneys who work with Top Class Actions want to know. Submit your information now for a FREE review of your claims.
If you have a case, the Mirena injury lawyers working this investigation will fight for you in court to get the compensation you deserve without any cost to you. They don't get paid unless you win a Mirena lawsuit settlement. Submit your information below NOW!
Mirena IUD Side Effects
Nearly 2 million women in the U.S. currently use a Mirena IUD. Although this contraceptive has shown considerable effectiveness as preventing pregnancy, it has been repeatedly linked to serious side effects that can cause severe injury.
Some of the side effects of Mirena IUD commonly cited in lawsuits and Mirena class action lawsuits include:
- Pelvic pain
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
- Perforation of the uterus
- Perforation of the cervix
- Infection/abscess
- Infertility
- Vaginal erosion
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Intrauterine pregnancy
Many of these Mirena side effects occur because the body rejects the IUD as a foreign object. Numerous Mirena injury lawsuits have been filed by women claiming they underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the Mirena IUD, only to find it had migrated to other parts of their body. Bayer never warned on the product label that spontaneous migration of the Mirena IUD could occur, according to these Mirena lawsuit plaintiffs.
Filing a Mirena IUD Lawsuit
Bayer has a long history of pushing birth control products on the market and glossing over their potential side effects in order to drive sales. Just take a look at Yasmin and Yaz birth control – popular birth control pills at the center of thousands of lawsuits and class action lawsuits over serious blood clot side effects. Bayer has already offered millions of dollars in Yaz/Yasmin lawsuit settlements to women injured by these products. Bayer should also be held accountable for the injuries its Mirena IUD birth control product has caused women.
If you or a loved was implanted with a Mirena IUD and suffered side effects like pelvic inflammatory disease, perforation of the uterus or cervix, ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine pregnancy, pelvic pain, infection or more, you may have legal claim for injury compensation.
The birth control injury experts that work with Top Class Actions are actively investigating all claims of Mirena IUD injuries. It's absolutely free to participate, and any consultation is free. The Mirena lawyers who work with Top Class Actions don't get paid unless you do. Please submit your information now!

Aug. 21, 2013 — West Carter's boys soccer program failed to make the regional tournament last season despite their 12-8 record.
If Monday night's 4-1 win against Bath County is any indication, the Comets look to earn their spot this year.
Troy Brickles scored two goals; both in the first half and Daniel Dehart and Tyler Glover each added a goal as the Comets defeated the Wildcats in Olive Hill.
"I was a little nervous and I'm' proud of my kids that played," assistant coach Troy Combs said. "A lot of teams won't be getting 4 goals on Bath this year. I guess they didn't expect us to come out and play the way we did."
Brickles scored right out of the gate, getting two quick goals to fend off the Wildcats' attack. Bath scored their lone goal of the game in the second half.
Combs credited his team's defense for limiting Bath's shots on goal.
"I can't say enough about our defense," Combs said. "Their goal was off of an error but our rotation on the defensive side was great especially in the midfield."
After the first three goals, frustration started to settle for Bath County, with one player getting physical with West Carter, forcing a yellow card. Combs said his guys responded appropriately.
"I told the guys the most disciplined team won the game," Combs said. "Bath was getting aggravated and it showed and our guys did a good job keeping their cool."
With the new era of Comet Soccer underway, the program is still learning with a new playing style and a new coach. After Monday's game, the Comets are picking it up without any problems and a win can only help their confidence.
"Being the first game under a new coach with a lot of young players, there's a lot to be worried about," Combs said. "They realize they can play with just about anybody and getting a win like this under their belt is only good for our confidence. They believe in each other and go out there and just play."
West Carter will travel to the Buckeye State this Thursday to face South Point, Oh. They will return home next Tuesday to face district foe, Elliott County.

In a significant victory for the West Contra Costa Unified School District and a major defeat for a group that tried to save Castro Elementary School in El Cerrito, the state Court of Appeal on Thursday upheld a lower court decision in favor of the closure of Castro and rebuilding Portola Middle School at the Castro site.
School board President Charles Ramsey said the decision means the rebuilding of Portola can now move into high gear. The district had been waiting for the court decision before beginning the demolition and construction work, he said.
"The project can go forward," he said Friday. He acknowledged that the district had already been moving forward with the plan, though in relatively small steps, such as tree removal.
The appeal court decision lifted a "cloud of uncertainty," he said, adding that he doesn't anticipate that the Castro school supporters will appeal to the state Supreme Court.
In a unanimous, 36-page opinion, a three-judge panel for the First District of the Court of Appeal rejected the plaintiffs' arguments that the school board had not complied with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and had violated the state's open-meeting law (the Brown Act) by not properly listing the Castro closure decision on the board meeting agenda. The opinion is attached to this article.
The attorney for the Castro school supporters, Robert Brower, said Friday night he had not yet seen the court decision and could not comment.
One of the 23 individual plaintiffs in the suit, parent Linda Ruiz-Lozito, said she wasn't surprised by the decision and had been more or less resigned to losing the court battle.
"I think we all got discouraged when they closed the school," she said, referring to the closure of Castro at the end of the 2008-09 school year.
Asked if an appeal could be in the works, she said, "I don't think so," though she added that she hasn't had a chance to talk with the other plaintiffs about it. A chief reason for filing the suit, she said, had been "to protect the students."
The Castro students were reassigned to other district schools.
The legal dispute goes back several years to when the state architect's office declared that the Portola campus would be unsafe in a major earthquake. After studying what to do, the district deemed the buildings irreparable and agreed to relocate the school.
Portola students have been housed in temporary buildings on the lower, flat portion of the old Portola site for the past two years. The district is in the process of demolishing the old Portola buildings.
The district first settled on putting Portola at Fairmont Elementary School in El Cerrito, a decision that aroused substantial community opposition. Further study and community debate followed, and the board voted 3-2 on Dec. 10, 2008 to rebuild it on the Castro site.
A group of neighbors, parents and other supporters of Castro filed suit on Jan. 12, 2009, saying the board failed to meet CEQA requirements, including an adequate review of alternatives, and to follow correct procedures.
On Nov. 29, 2010, Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge Barbara Zuniga dismissed the bulk of the plaintiffs' suit but left open a 35-day window for further challenge on the district's Master Plan for the project. On March 15, 2011, the court said the Master Plan had not been challenged during the allowable time period and upheld it too, thus rebuffing the plaintiffs, who next appealed to the state Court of Appeal.
