Blackberry Farm Mountain Blueberries Preserves
- Summary
Famous for honoring local food traditions, Blackberry Farm practices the classic country art of "putting by" summer's bounty. These down-home preserves showcase the natural sweetness of ripe local blueberries, handpicked in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains. Artisans craft the preserves in small batches, adding only golden cane sugar and a splash of lemon juice so that the fruit takes center stage. Because these old-fashioned preserves are made without pectin, they have a thinner, more delicate consistency than most high-sugar, mass-produced jams.

Shreya discovered her passion for speech and debate when she enrolled in the speech and debate summer enrichment program, Heinsohn said.

The following is from the May 12, 2008, edition of The Dallas Business Journal. SMU Business Professor David Croson provided expertise for this story about 50-50 partnerships breaking up.
Things at Sharon Alt's company began to unravel after she and her 50-50 partner began having fundamental disagreements about the business' future direction. With no exit strategy, it took nearly a year of tense negotiations and the help of a mediator before the partnership was dissolved.
Nearly a year after Sharon Alt unwound a 50-50 partnership to take control of her company, she cautions business owners not to fall into the trap of trusting that partners' goals will always remain in sync. . .
David Croson, associate professor in strategy and entrepreneurship at the Southern Methodist University Cox School of Business, said that "50-50 partnerships are basically two dirty words in startup formation."
Setting up an evenly split partnership without contingency plans can spell disaster for a business, which is why it's important to at least determine in advance how any impasses between partners will be resolved, he said. Those plans could include identifying a mediator to help handle disputes or set up processes where one partner can make an offer for half the business and the other one would then either have to sell their share or buy the other person out.

i went to this restaurant in 1985 in a small side street and the shop had a small window where many people ordered the dumplings. We went inside and was shown upstairs to a dark eating area. We were met by a happy host and we ordered a large sample of dumplings with various filling as well as a large bottle of Coca Cola.We spent the next hour devouring these delicious cakes and it cost for four of us about $10 Needlless to say the train journey back to Beijing was with full stomachs and we enjoyed the day

- Health Notes
Exotic Fruits and Berries Boast Big AntioxidantsExotic Fruits and Berries Boast Big AntioxidantsRuby-red pomegranate is an antioxidant superstar
From South America to Malaysia, from Hawaii to China, fruits, berries, and their juices are being hailed as the new superfoods. Boasting high amounts of antioxidants and other vital nutrients, these superfoods can play a supporting role in a healthy diet. They are widely available as antioxidant juices, supplements, or added ingredients in smoothies, recipes, and other premade products.
Rush of antioxidants
Antioxidants are the body's armed forces, working to prevent free-radical damage to the body's cells, which is associated with premature aging and disease.
- Pomegranate: Ruby-red pomegranate is an antioxidant superstar. The distinctive sweet-tart flavor of the seeds and juice adds flare to food and drink. Native to Iran and the northern Himalayas in India, the pomegranate today is grown in California and Arizona.
- Acai: Another rich antioxidant source with a notable taste, acai is a like blueberry crossed with dark chocolate. Derived from Amazon palmberries, its rich purple pigment denotes a high antioxidant level. According to the manufacturers, acai is also high in amino acids and fatty acids, which help to keep cell membranes supple. You'll find acai in smoothies, juices, teas, and powders.
Exotic fruits for vitality
A host of other fruits from around the world show promise for their health-promoting properties, though research is needed to confirm their benefits:
- Goji: The berries and juice of the goji fruit holds its nutritional treasures. From the Ningxia province of China, goji, a fruit of an evergreen shrub, was traditionally regarded as a longevity-promoting and strength-building tonic. Goji is high in antioxidants and amino acids, according to the manufacturers.
- Mangosteen: The juice of the native Malaysian mangosteen. Garcinia mangostanas contains a class of antioxidants called xanthones, which hold promise for their disease-fighting properties.
- Noni: Noni, or the morinda tree, is found in the Polynesian Islands and Hawaii. The fruit and its juice are used traditionally as a laxative and topically for skin ailments. Today noni producers tout it for its ability to aid a wide variety of conditions from improving asthma to assisting in weight loss.
- Maqui: According to the manufacturers of the maqui products, this Chilean berry has the highest known antioxidant content of any fruit and has been traditionally used by Mapuche Indians for supporting stamina, increasing strength, and promoting healthy immune response.
Keep it real
When trying new products-especially those that make big promises-do your research and consult your healthcare practitioner so you can make informed choices. Remember that moderation and variation are the keys to health, and a wide variety of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts and other protein sources, will work together to promote health and vigor.Kathleen Finn is a freelance writer and marketing consultant in the natural health industry.

The Independent
Thomas Biederman told his son in a recorded telephone conversation he wished his wife, Janie, would have been killed by the bomb that exploded in her car on July 28, 2011, a federal agent testified Wednesday.
"This is the first time I've wished this — I wish your mom had been killed by the bomb," Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Agent Ron Sabotchick quoted Biederman as saying.
According to Sabotchick, Biederman's son, Ryan, then cautioned his father about making such comments on the phone, but Biederman continued: "I'm just saying if she had been, I wouldn't have all these problems. I don't know why she's doing this."
In other conversations with his son, Biederman complained his wife "ruined" his real estate appraisal business with her spending habits and made derogatory comments about her weight and regarding the lack of intimacy in their marriage, Sabotchick said. He also told Ryan Biederman the only way he would ever consider going back to his wife would be if she would agree to never see her brother, Jim Riggs, and his wife, Holly, again, he said.
Neither Sabotchick nor Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jason Greer said where the conversations were recorded. However, Greer did say they were recorded between Jan. 18 and March of this year, a period during which Thomas Biederman would have been in the Boyd County Detention Center.
Sabotchick was the lead investigator in the car bombing, which occurred in the parking garage of the Ashland Skytower. His testimony came on Day Six of Biederman's trial in Boyd Circuit Court.
Biederman, 52, of Russell, is charged with attempted murder and using a weapon of mass destruction. Each of those charges carries a prison sentence of 10 to 20 years.
Prosectors have alleged Biederman tried to kill his wife for financial gain. Greer told jurors in his opening remarks that Biederman stood to collect $430,000 in insurance money had Janie Biederman perished in the blast. She suffered only minor injuries.
Sabotchick — whose testimony took up most of the day Wednesday and who will be back on the witness stand when the trial resumes at 8:45 a.m. today — also told jurors it became "crystal clear" to him shortly after the explosion that Janie Biederman's non-functioning key fob remote was a key piece of evidence in the crime. He said he learned the night of the bombing the remote — which is used to lock and unlock the car's doors and also causes its lights to flash — had just recently quit working and "it set off bells in my head that this was probably more than a coincidence."
Sabotchick collected the remote and sent it to the ATF crime lab to be examined. That examination revealed someone had disabled the remote by removing the battery and placing it in the device backwards. Authorities believe that was done to keep Janie Biederman from setting off the bomb, which was wired into the car's left brake light, before she was in the vehicle.
Sabotchick said Ryan Biederman told him he had driven the Mustang two days before the bombing and the remote was working fine then. He also said Thomas Biederman said he wasn't aware the remote wasn't working until after the bombing.
Thomas Biederman was "cooperative, but controlling" during the initial phase of the investigation, Sabotchick said. However, he said the relationship between him and Biederman quickly turned "adversarial" after he made clear he considered Biederman the prime suspect in the bombing.
Sabotchick said he offered protection to Janie Biederman, as he was required to do by federal law, but she declined it.
The agent also said he checked out all of the suspects whose names Biederman provided him. All were cooperative and were cleared of any involvement in the bombing, he said.
Attempts also were made to follow up on a witness report that two men traveling in a green Chevrolet Cavalier were seen lurking around the parking garage in the vicinity of Janie Biederman's vehicle several hours before the blast, but those also failed to pan out, he said.
During his cross-examination, Biederman's attorney, Michael Curtis, grilled Sabotchick regarding items that were seized from a storage shed at the Biederman's home about a week after the bombing. He focused on a container of PVC cement, which Michelle Evans, an ATF forensic chemist, had testified earlier had a different chemical composition than the adhesive that was used on the bomb, which was made from PVC tubing, black powder and other household items.
Sabotchick said there were at least 15 other containers of glue in the shed when he searched it. Asked by Curtis why he didn't seize all of them, Sabotchick acknowledged he probably should have.
"I guess I could have seized all 10,000 pieces that were in that shed, but I only took what I thought would be useful," he said.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on London Wasps and matches between Exiles and Wasps over the years.
London Irish
Fixture Type: Guinness Premiership
Match Date: Sun 27 Sep 2009
Kick Off: 15:00
Venue: Madejski Stadium
Referee: Dave Pearson
TV Match Official: Roy Marfleet
Assistant Referee: Bob Mullis
Assistant Referee: Alan Biggs
The fine weather was matched by exciting on-pitch action that certainly kept the home supporters entertained as London Irish produced another display of positive, attacking rugby that saw them move into second position in the league table after the final whistle.
While the match statistics will show that the Exiles outscored their neighbours by two tries to one, that fact fails to reflect the difference in attacking intent and defensive resilience shown by the home team. The Wasps' try was the result of a decision by referee Pearson to award a penalty try after Adam Thompstone was alleged to have prevented Dominic Waldouck from scoring. That was the only clear try-scoring opportunity that eluded an Irish defence that worked tirelessly throughout the 80 minutes.
Given the reputation Wasps and their coach Shaun Edwards have for the quality of their defence, unquestionably, the honours this afternoon went to London Irish and Defence Coach, Dave Ellis.
Irish got off to a perfect start with a try by Sailosi Tagicakibau in the third minute when he finished off a slick handling move off the back of a scrum. The Samoan international went on to be the scourge of the visitors for the rest of the match. Whether it was on the wing or in midfield his power and pace were a constant threat.
Wasps went ahead through two Danny Cipriani penalties in the sixth and 16th minutes before Ryan Lamb started a move by robbing Waldouck of the ball and then popping up to strike a beautifully flighted drop goal in the 18th minute.
The 23-year-old fly half, who had another confident game, extended Irish's lead with two penalties in the 22nd and 26th minutes to leave the score 14-6 to Irish at half-time.
A feature of the first half was the outstanding performance of the Irish pack, from 1 to 8 they completed like dervishes and had the measure of their opponents all over the pitch both at the set pieces and breakdown. The fact that Irish won two strikes against the head speaks eloquently for the quality of their performance.
A major contributor to the effectiveness of the forwards was the performance of Paul Haodgson at scrum-half. Once again the description "midfield general" hardly does the 27-year-old justice as he produced another stunning display that must have impressed the watching England management.
Cipriani and Lamb exchanged penalties within five minutes of the re-start. The large home support was disappointed however, when Waldouck went unpunished for a blatant late charge on Peter Hewat. The Australian was to extract his revenge in the 55th minute with as good a long range drop goal that will be seen in the Premiership this season.
Wasps had reduced the Exiles' lead to a point in the 46th minute as a result of the penalty try and Cipriani's conversion that followed the Thompstone-Waldouck incident. Lamb added to Hewat's drop goal with his fourth successful penalty in the 57th minute to leave the score at 23-16 going into the final quarter.
Wasps were under pressure from the relentless Irish defence and counter-attack and that anxiety began to creep into their play.
Tagicakibau made them pay in the 61st minute when he intercepted an indecisive pass from Ben Jacobs intended for Cipriani on the left wing and he showed Tom Varndell a clean pair of heels as he outstripped the Wasps' defence to touch down in the left corner.
The try was a hammer blow for the visitors. By now the Irish replacements had been introduced and upped the pressure. Irish's ex-Springbok pairing, Danie Coetzee and Faan Rautenbach, in the front row demolished their opposite numbers at scrum time with the result that Phil Vickery retired exhausted in the 75th minute after his first Premiership appearance of the season. The rest of the Wasps' pack wilted in the summer-like heat as the home team attacked relentlessly until the final whistle.
With Chris Malone on the pitch at fly half and combining well with Hodgson, the Exiles dominated possession and territory until referee Pearson brought proceedings to a close.
Speaking afterwards Head Coach Toby Booth said that he was delighted with the result. "We set high standards and I'm pleased that there was a fantastic amount of effort." Booth added, "The bench made a fantastic impact and took the game further away from them."

ROCHELLE —Two nurses and a pilot were killed when the REACT medical helicopter they were flying in crashed at about 8:30 p.m. Monday in a field near Rochelle, the Northwest Herald is reporting.
The helicopter was flying from Rockford Memorial Hospital to Mendota to pick up a patient, the story said. Those killed include the pilot Andy Olesen, 65, and flight nurses Karen Hollis, 48, and Jim Dillow, 40, the Herald reports.
There were no patients on the helicopter when it crashed, and Olesen was an experienced pilot, the story stated.
The REACT helicopter encountered bad weather and intended to turn around and head home when it crashed, the Rockford Register Star is reporting.
Dillow, a flight nurse, was 40 years old and joined the hospital in 1996. Hollis, 48, had been on staff since 1986, the story said.
Olesen, the pilot, worked for Air Methods Corp. of Englewood, Colo., the company contacted with Rockford Memorial. He was a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam war when he served in the Army. He began flying with Air Methods in 1994, and planned to retire next week, the RRS story stated.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.

Manufactured on and off since the mid-1980s, the Honda Rebel arrived at the 2005 model year marking its 20th year anniversary. Only one model was produced, with a Black or Candy Orange color finish. The manufacturer's suggested retail price that Japanese automaker Honda set for the 2005 Honda Rebel was $3,099.
Designed and classified as a cruiser, the Honda Rebel has always been targeted towards a younger audience, which is what the name suggests. The 2005 edition was no different. The bike is made of sturdy steel, with a two-piece vinyl seat for accommodating the driver and a passenger; and a kick stand provides the bike's parking ability.
For power, the 2005 Honda Rebel relies on a four-stroke, air-cooled, parallel twin (two-cylinder) engine that displaces at 234 cubic centimeters and uses a single overhead camshaft valve train. It generates up to 16.1 horsepower and 12.4 pound-feet of torque, has a bore and stroke of 2.09 x 2.09 inches (53 x 53 millimeter) and a compression ratio of 9.2 to 1. A 26-mm carburetor fuels the engine, and an electric starter goes on each bike for ignition.
The engine on each 2005 Honda Rebel is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. With this powertrain – as well as a 2.6-gallon (9.8-liter) gas tank – the bike can get a fuel economy of up to 63 miles per gallon. Also, the 2005 Rebel can achieve a top speed of up to 70 miles per hour.
The 2005 Honda Rebel uses a front-disc-brake rear-drum-brake layout for its stopping power: not as effective as all-wheel disc brakes, but certainly superior to all-wheel drum brakes. The suspension consists of a 1.3-inch (33-mm) telescopic fork and a twin-sided swing arm with two shock absorbers. Tubed tires are wrapped around an 18-inch steel wheel, placed at the front of the bike, and a 15-inch wheel, placed at the back.
The digital instrumentation on the 2005 Honda Rebel consists of a trip odometer and a speedometer. A halogen headlight and a pair of rearview mirrors are installed to enhance visibility for driving.
Each 2005 Honda Rebel has a wheelbase of 57.1 inches (1,450.3 mm) and seat height of 26.6 inches (675.6 mm). The weight for the bike is estimated at 306.4 lbs. (139 kilograms) when dry; when wet, it can weigh up to 320 lbs. (145 kg).
The 2005 Honda Rebel is not a bad cruiser – its power, braking, handling and driving range are serviceable, if not outstanding. However, considering the significant technological advances the cruiser market adopted in the years since its debut, the 2005 Rebel was far from the Rebel Honda marketed it as back in 1985.

A measure in the Unicameral seeks to keep young people in school until graduation or age 18.
By Katie Schubert
Omaha, NE – The Omaha Public Schools board is opposing two measures that would cut the size of school boards.
Senator Scott Lautenbaugh's bill had its first hearing in a Unicameral committee meeting Wednesday. In addition to cutting the board to five members from its current 12, the legislation would also pay board members $20,000 and limit them to two four-year terms.
Omaha, NE – The Midlands Mentoring Partnership estimates 35,000 youth in the Omaha metro need mentors.
Omaha, NE – A monthly economic indicator for the nine-state Mid America region shows a slight decline in December.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss compiles the Mid America Business Conditions report. The monthly business conditions index declined to 50 in December from 52.6 in November.
Goss says the economy will grow this year, albeit slowly. He expects interest rates will remain low and inflation won't be an issue.
The index is an indicator of overall economic health in the nine-state region.
Omaha, NE – Stakeholders in the Omaha Public Schools district want a new superintendent who's approachable, fully involved in the community, and focused on students.
Those are some of the results from 1,090 responses received during public forums and from an online survey. Consulting firm Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates used those responses to shape a leadership profile presented to the OPS board Wednesday.

ROCK HILL — School board members, community members and administrators visited two Rock Hill schools on Wednesday morning, kicking off a series of public visits at each of the district schools.
Two schools Lesslie Elementary and Castle Heights Middle provided student-led tours around the buildings and the opportunity for people to ask questions of the students, teachers and staff.
At Lesslie Elementary School, there was a light breakfast before visitors headed out in small groups.
School board members Jane Sharp, Walter Brown and chairman Jim Vining were led by fifth-graders Kaylee Lovin and Kasey Awad.
This is Mrs. Simpson, said Kasey, as he led the board members into a classroom. Everyone who meets her will love her.
Each student had been prepared to show off the classrooms and facilities at Lesslie, including the newly relocated playground.
Its pretty awesome now, Kaylee said of the new outdoor space.
The board members questioned the students about their teachers and classes, and the students were ready to answer and share everything they knew about the school.
A short while later, a larger group of visitors gathered in the media center at Castle Heights Middle School. After snacks, iRock iPads in hand, students led small groups through the hallways, where more students were waiting to take people into classrooms and to show off different elements of the school.
Bobbie Armstrong and Lucille McCluney were among the visitors at Castle Heights. Both have children at the school and said they try to come to as many school events as they can.
You want to make sure your kids know youre behind them, said McCluney, who has a son in the sixth grade.
Armstrong has a daughter whos already been through Castle Heights and said she thinks attending events like this is part of good parenting.
Its important to know their friends, too, she said. They see me here, and I get to see them.
Watching for iPads
Some parents were there because they had concerns or questions about what was going on in the school.
Lucinda Dunn, whose son is in the sixth grade at Castle Heights, said, Im still having a little concern with the iPads. We still dont have enough textbooks.
Dunn was echoing a common concern among parents that money is being spent on iPads as part of iRock when there are still textbook shortages in some subject areas. iRock is the Rock Hill school districts multi-year, $9 million technology initiative.
The visitors at Castle Heights got to see plenty of iPads.
The student tour guides showed a video of the school by scanning a QR code on a bulletin board. And in many of the classrooms open to visitors, iPads were out and in use or sitting nearby.
Despite the 30 or so adults wandering around Castle Heights, the students seemed undisturbed.
Students are used to having visitors around because of the Schools to Watch designation, which brings visitors in fairly regularly, said assistant principal Richard Ball.
Watching the students mature into ambassadors of the school is a fun part of his job, he said.
The more theyre involved, the more theyre going to take care of this place and do better in school, he said.
Any parent or community member is allowed to attend these visits and tours, which have been scheduled for throughout the year. Theres no registration required to attend a visit.

3. Ruling out snacks
Talk to pet owners about the types of treats they're offering. Most of the time, there will be a few healthy, low-calorie
foods the pet will enjoy. Carrots and green beans are great choices for dogs, and some cats even enjoy them, too. A few commercial
treats with only 3 calories a piece are also available. Once clients are assured they still can offer treats, they're more
likely to remain compliant. (For two tips on allocating treats to pets, visit
Growth, especially during the first six months of life, is one of the most critical stages in a pet's life and one in which
nutrient requirements are the most stringent. Without guidelines from you and your practice team, it's easy for inexperienced
owners to overfeed young, growing animals. This is an ideal time to show clients how to assign a BCS to their puppies and
kittens to ensure the pets maintain a healthy weight as they grow to adulthood.
Remember to weigh and assign a BCS to the puppy or kitten each time it's presented for a wellness examination. Young, growing
pets should be maintained at an ideal body condition (3/5 or 4-5/9). In short-coated dogs, the ribs should be easily palpated
and only slightly visible. Since it is difficult to visually examine the flesh of long-haired dogs and cats, they will require
further palpation to feel the ribs and trunk musculature.
Large- and giant-breed dogs are genetically predisposed to various orthopedic diseases and conditions. Studies have shown
that maintaining an optimal lean body condition in puppies of these breeds can greatly reduce the severity and risk of developing
these conditions. This usually involves maintaining protein levels, reducing energy consumption and mineral content in the
diet, avoiding excess calcium in the diet, and feeding to an optimal body weight. Recommending an appropriate diet and teaching
new owners how to feed to maintain the desired BCS are the best ways to guard against certain types of orthopedic problems
in these dogs.

On formatting drive as BTRFS for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) I was getting an error about "Sparse file not allowed". Using this post at AskUbuntu:
Message "Sparse file not allowed" after installing on a btrfs filesystem
I tried the boot-repair solution. On re-boot, the OS wanted options of (I)gnore, (S)kip or (M)anually mount for both "/" and for "/home". On the first attempt at re-booting I selected Ignore. The result is no OS. No GUI, actually nada. On 2nd attempt I chose Skip and the OS booted and I have a desktop and more-or-less.

Everyday throughout the Ozarks, hundreds of volunteers give the "gift of time" to non-profit, public and human-service organizations. Many volunteers have full schedules even before their volunteer activities. But because they consider volunteerism vital, they lend their time, talent and resources with boundless generosity, spirit and enthusiasm.
Since 1991, the "Gift of Time" awards have recognized volunteers who contribute thousands of hours to make life better for our friends and neighbors here in the Ozarks. We invite you to participate by nominating a member of your volunteer team for a "Gift of Time" award. An impartial team of business and civic leaders will review each nominee based on information you provide.
Ten individuals will be selected as Volunteers of the Year, with two of the ten nominees being selected from the Youth category, ages 21 and under. All nominees will be recognized for their volunteer efforts during the luncheon that will be held at the Ramada Oasis Convention Center at noon on June 24, 2014. The announcement of the ten award recipients will remain a secret to everyone, including the winners until the luncheon.
The Rosanna Bradshaw Memorial Wall of Fame was established in 1994 to honor volunteers through the Gift of Time awards. Portraits of Gift of Time award recipients in the Rosanna Bradshaw Memorial Wall of Fame are on display in the Busch Building throughout the year. The Wall of Fame's namesake was an active volunteer in the Ozarks for many years and helped to create the Gift of Time program.

Features & Use
Without the proper vocabulary it's pretty difficult to get your point across in a foreign language. Stopping every couple of seconds to search for words will make interaction with people in a foreign country both frustrating and cumbersome. This may sound like something from your grade school teacher, but don't forget your vocab!
Learn by playing
That's exactly the guiding principle behind AndMemory Vocabulary Trainer. It helps you memorize long lists of vocabulary and prepare your for the upcoming vocab quiz. While this app may not guarantee you getting an A+ on your next test, it is definitely a great way to learn. Memorizing stuff from pages in your textbook is – in my opinion – usually a total waste of time. It doesn't help you build associations and understand the meaning of words, but rather makes you memorize where the words are on the page.
By learning vocabulary through a memory board, you don't have that problem. Another advantage is that you have to actually think if the words (as sounds or pictures) you flip actually match each other. More often than not a lot of the vocab words start sounding very similar after hours of studying.
Unfortunately, the Vocabulary Trainer lacks a setting to allow certain difficult words to appear more often than others. The only workaround this problem is to enter the same term multiple times in your vocab list.
Customize on your own
AndMemory Vocabulary Trainer isn't just limited to a specific set of word pairs: you can add your own. Manually entering in new vocab words on your Android keyboard is obviously a big pain in the butt. That's why you should take advantage of the developer's website to download a simple program that helps you create quick word pairs. The generated file should be saved to /sdcard/andmemory public/import and then uploaded to the app via the import button.
Multuimedia on Board
What makes this app particularly unique is the fact that it supports both audio files and pictures. As a result, you can create your own vocabulary training programs where you can combine the way a word is pronounced to the way it is spelled. There are a ton of different learning options that you can make. This is obviously extremely practical, but it's still disappointing that you have to spend time adding your own vocab.
Good Yet Limited
What I mean by that is the content! Although the app includes the following language combinations:
- English – Italian
- English – German
- English – French
- German – French
- German – Italian
Each language includes a couple hundred word pairs that come with the app, but you'll have to add your own words if you need to go beyond that number.
Listening and understanding with Text-to-Speech and Stats
I won't argue with the fact that robotic voices are unrealistic, sound awful and are often difficult to understand. Despite all of this, the Text-to-Speech function is an important feature of this app. If you are completely clueless as to how to pronounce a certain word, the robotic voice at least gives you a general understanding of how to pronounce it. Just try not to speak in the same robot voice to your language teacher in class unless you want to score some embarrassing laughs from your peers.
The integrated statistics help you keep track of your progress in a simple and understandable manner.
Bottom Line:
The general concept is awesome: learn your vocab by playing on the go.
Learn by playing
Expandable vocabulary lists
Use both audio files and pictures
Track your progress with statistics
Text-to-Speech for pronounciation
Limited basic vocabulary list with just 120-170 words
No way to increase the difficulty level
Screen & Controls
If you answer correctly, the Android jumps up in the air from joy. If you answer incorrectly, a red Android falls through the ground. That's a nice little addition to keep you motivated. Other than that, AndMemory Vocabulary Trainer sticks to the basics.
Just tap the memory cards to flip them over and see if they match. Doesn't get any easier than that.
Speed & Stability
AndMemory Vocabulary Trainer performed quickly and reliably during our test. Importing word lists is also fast and without any issues.
Price/Performance Ratio
AndMemory Vocabulary Trainer can be downloaded for free the AndroidPIT App Center.

The Undergraduate Research Initiative is a recent initiative developed by the Honors College and the Office of the Provost's AVP for Research and Federal Relations. This program offers all undergraduate students funding opportunities to enhance education through faculty-supervised research. By offering students research opportunities, we hope to continue increasing the prestige of Texas State University as a research institution
Contributions from the Mind Science Foundation, the Tri-M Foundation, the AVP for Research, the Honors College, and the colleges of Science and Engineering, Health Professions, and Education support Texas State's first Student Undergraduate Research Fund (SURF). This fund will support independent undergraduate research across campus. All full- or part-time undergraduate students are welcome to propose independent research or creative projects. Students are required to present their work at the Undergraduate Research Conference in the spring semester, the Honors Thesis Forum presentations in the fall semester, or at another campus venue, approved by the Undergraduate Research Advisor. Although a faculty advisor is required for these projects, projects do not have to relate to the student's major or minor courses of study.

The Economist has published a correction to its earlier report that Henry Kravis, KKR's archetypal "Barbarian at the Gate", may have stumped up 22 million euros for a chair once owned by Yves Saint Laurent:
"Our report suggested that Henry and Marie-Josée Kravis may have been the purchasers of an early 20th-century chair designed by Eileen Gray. Mr Kravis assures us that neither he nor anyone in his family bought the chair in question. Our apologies to all concerned," the free-trade-loving weekly says.
Our post yesterday on the Economist's original story prompted some acerbic follow-ups elsewhere in the blogosphere and a firm denial from Kohlberg Kravis Roberts HQ.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the actual buyer of the chair, or who wishes to speculate as to his or her identity, please leave a comment.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
A request that the Joplin City Council authorize the city to ink agreements with the federal and state governments to accept $15 million in funding for street projects triggered a call from one councilman to back off a proposal to build a viaduct on 15th Street.
Assistant Public Works Director Jack Schaller told the council Monday night that the agreements with the Federal Highway Administration and the Missouri Department of Transportation spell out the timeline for projects the grant would cover, along with how the money is to be spent and other details.
The money was awarded to Joplin earlier this year for construction of viaducts on 15th and 20th streets to carry traffic over train tracks, and for street widening projects on sections of 26th Street, Schifferdecker Avenue and Maiden Lane.
Councilman Morris Glaze asked how much the railroads are paying toward the cost of the viaducts. Schaller said the railroads so far have offered $750,000, but there is a meeting next week with Kansas City Southern Railway Co. officials at which they will be asked to provide a larger share of the cost. Glaze asked if there is enough money from the grant to pay for both viaducts. Schaller said there is a shortfall of about $1.5 million.
The proposal is to build a four-lane bridge on 20th Street with a lane for pedestrians and bicyclists. The bridge on 15th Street is proposed as a two-lane bridge.
Councilman Bill Scearce said the council had heard from a business owner who does not want to lose his business to viaduct construction on 15th Street. Scearce said the City Council has not authorized the city staff to proceed with building a viaduct there.
Schaller said the city's agreements with the FHA and MoDOT stipulate that the 15th Street bridge would be built only if there is enough money available, and at this time the city is short. He said the goal is to get a proposal designed and then see where the project stands. Once a design is done, the city staff will talk to property owners in the area to get their input on how it would affect them and would work changes into the plan to address their concerns.
Scearce asked whether anyone else on the council thought the design work should not progress since the council has not authorized the project.
Councilman Jack Golden said there could be positive factors for property owners in the path of the proposed viaduct.
Those owners would have to be paid for relocation or loss of business as well as for the real estate.
Councilman Gary Shaw said the design work could proceed, and then the council could decide whether to build the projects when it is asked to authorize construction contracts. "By looking into it, I don't think we're making a decision hard and fast," Shaw said.
Golden asked the city attorney if the city would be committed to build the bridge if it approved the grant agreement at hand.
City Attorney Brian Head said the agreement specifies that the city can pull out of the 15th Street project if there is not enough money to pay for it.
Glaze said the 15th Street project is the result of residents' requests to create a quiet zone through the city to eliminate the disturbance of train noise.
Schaller said the purpose of getting rid of the train crossings is to improve safety by eliminating car-train collisions on those streets.
The council vote was 5-1-1 in favor of proceeding with the federal agreement. Scearce dissented, and Golden abstained. Two of the nine-member council, Michael Seibert and Benjamin Rosenberg, were absent.
A vote on the agreement with MoDOT was approved 6-1, with Scearce dissenting.
In other business, the council authorized a tax break for Heartland Pet Food Manufacturing Inc., which has announced it will build its main manufacturing plant for Blue Buffalo products in Joplin's Crossroads Center Business and Distribution Park.
City Planner Troy Bolander said the city would waive 100 percent of the company's taxes for 10 years in exchange for the operation creating 131 jobs that would pay about $36,000, though he did not know the dollar amount of the tax breaks. He told the Globe that the dollar value would depend on the assessed value that is determined on the plant and its equipment after it is built.
THE JOPLIN COUNCIL asked the city staff to look into the feasibility of a request by the widow of a Joplin police officer to provide health insurance for families of officers killed in the line of duty. Tracy Nielson Gribben's husband, Officer Tim Nielson, died in 2004 of burn injuries he suffered in the explosion of a house where he was dispatched to check on the well-being of a resident.

The main advocate for a semi-independent state board to govern charter schools has dropped the controversial idea in favor of setting up a new charter advisory council.
Sen. Jerry Tillman, sponsor of a bill that would have set up the semi-autonomous board, said he was satisfied with most of the changes a House committee approved Tuesday.
With a rewritten bill in hand, opposition largely dropped away, with some Democrats and the N.C. Public Charter School Association saying they could now support the measure. Top-level education officials, including new State Board of Education Chairman Bill Cobey, opposed the idea of a charter board making decisions that could be overruled only by a supermajority vote of the State Board. They questioned whether such an arrangement would be constitutional.
Tillman said he was satisfied that charters would be treated well with Cobey, a Republican, as head of the School Board.
"I think it will work fine this way," Tillman said.
Under the bill, the existing charter advisory board would be replaced by a board made up of appointees of the governor, lawmakers from both chambers, the State Board and the lieutenant governor. Under previous versions of the bill, the state treasurer would have been a member, but that seat is gone.
Rep. Rick Glazier, a Fayetteville Democrat, said he was pleased that the bill no longer sets up a separate charter board.
"It strikes me as the right balance," he said.
The N.C. Justice Center continues to oppose the bill.
Under the revised law, only half of a school's kindergarten through fifth-grade teachers would need professional licenses, down from 75 percent. Matt Ellinwood of the Justice Center questioned the change. "There's no shortage of certified teachers," he said.
Rep. Larry Pittman, a Concord Republican, said his wife, who is not a teacher, home-schooled their children and they all went on to successful college careers.
Generally, charters pick students by lottery, but the bill expands the pool giving priority to children of all the charter school's employees, not just those of principals and teachers.
The State Board will no longer have to consider comments from local school boards on how a new charter would effect education in traditional public schools. Local school board objections to charter applications in recent years have been largely disregarded.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Would Josh Smith be a fit for Bucks?
Atlanta forward Josh Smith seems the likeliest player to be traded at the deadline, which is rapidly approaching (2 p.m. Central time Thursday).
And a number of teams are reported to have interest, including the Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets. Those two teams met Tuesday night in an overtime thriller won by the Nets at the Barclays Center, and they face off again Wednesday night in Milwaukee.
The 6-foot-9 forward will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and the Hawks seem determined to move him.
But would the 27-year-old be a fit for the Bucks?
Smith was the 17th overall pick in the 2004 draft and has played his entire career with the Hawks. Bucks fans will recall that he did plenty of damage to Milwaukee in a first-round playoff series in 2010, a series won by the Hawks in seven games.
He was an all-NBA second-team defensive selection in 2010, and his shot-blocking abilities would fit with the Bucks front-line group led by Larry Sanders, the league's leading shot blocker this season.
Smith also excels on the break and in the up-tempo game preferred by the Bucks.
The Hawks are said to be interested in Bucks guard Monta Ellis, but ESPN's Chris Broussard reported Wednesday that Smith would like to play with both Brandon Jennings and Ellis.
Ellis has an $11 million player option for next season and can leave as a free agent in the summer if he so desires. And the Bucks also know they face a major financial commitment to point guard Brandon Jennings, who will be a restricted free agent after the season.
The Bucks will have a right to match any offer for Jennings, who could be the top point guard on the market. He showed Tuesday why the Bucks may be reluctant to part with him as he scored 34 points and sparked a second-half comeback in the thriller against Brooklyn.
One plus for the Bucks in making any deadline deal is they do have several expiring contracts, including Beno Udrih ($7.8 million) and Samuel Dalembert ($6.7 million). Those are valued commodities. Milwaukee also has young players (Ekpe Udoh and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute are examples) under contract at reasonable numbers, another help in making any trades.
Last year at the deadline the Bucks acquired Ellis and Udoh in the deal that sent center Andrew Bogut to Golden State. In 2010 general manager John Hammond made the trade that brought John Salmons from Chicago and helped the Bucks secure a playoff berth.
The Bucks are in the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff position right now, but it is by no means secure. Maybe the Bucks will stand pat, but it would be a bit of a surprise if they do.

How amusing would it be to see the Bucks trade the entire future for the Jennings-Ellis-Smith mess, only to see all three walk at the end of the season?Hide replies
Them walking and forcing a reset seems to be the major positive of having all three.
But we'll always have the memories.
"Tanks" for the memories?
From Bucks Twitter feed>>>
Fill in the blank.
" If the #Bucks get Josh Smith without giving up Jennings and Ellis, they would be REAL________"Hide replies
"Entertaining" . . . assuming they keep The Sandman. . .
Jennings, Monta, Luc (Or Dunleavy), J Smoove, and Sanders. . . . That would be fun to watch. . .
'supa swaggy'?
If we can trade Ellis for Josh Smith I'd do it in a New York minute. We only have Ellis for 10 more weeks anyway, he will opt out. Don't you dare trade Sanders or Henson for Josh Smith. Let Ellis go to ATL or anywhere else and keep clangin shots. Better yet lets trade Luc and Ellis for Josh Smith and Devon Harris.Hide replies
If Ellis and an expiring is what ATL will take than go ahead and do it.
But Smith stating he wants to play alongside BJ and Ellis jams up the whole shebang. But should the players run the show? They can and do but should they?
My worry is Bucks end up with all three and give away those you mentioned.
But Ellis and an expiring for a Smith rental I don't have a problem with. Harris wouldn't be a bad add in either.
I don't think Hammond would trade Sanders or Henson in a deal for Smith. Harris is a possibility. If Hammond trades for Josh Smith, my assumption is that Hammond also intends to re-sign Smith, probably to a max deal. I do not believe is a max-contract player. But he is pretty good.
still a mess in my opinion. come on kohl, theres no room in the nba for a owner that won't take a gamble. or spend a little cash. maybe it would be a working scenario, do the miami heat thing. trade for josh smith, sign brandon jennings and monte ellis, and keep larry saunders around. thats four pretty good starters, and sign whoever you can for the remaining 9 spots. to me its not logical, but it could work. GO BUCKSHide replies
I think Kohl gets a bad rap about spending cash, if you look over the years Kohl has been more than willing to spend cash. Coach Mike Dunleavy's deal at the time was a lot of cash for a head coach, same with George Karl. The Ken Norman deal, Glen Robinson, Gadzuric and Redd deals. To say Kohl isn't willing to spend is really not a valid statement. There's a lot of things you can say about Kohl but not willing to spend is not one of them.
He may spend cash,but in all the wrong places. I blame the hiring of terrible GM' s, because ultimately they are making decisions on personal
As long as Larry Sanders doesn't go, move Jennings or Ellis. Sanders takes away so many baskets. Henson shouldn't go since he has a nice cap friendly deal and is athletic.
I'd like for them to not move Moute. I know he's nothing flashy but his D on wing players is needed. He was all over Johnson on that gaming winning shot and has proven he can at least contest very good wing players.Hide replies
Who I going to score for the Bucks?
If we can keep Sanders and Jennings, resign Jennings, ellis and Smith in the offseason, then we'd have a contender. Thats too big a risk though. To assume two of the most covetted free agents in the league in a small market city is a stretch. I think a better trade that might be available would be Gerald Wallace. NJ wants Ilyasova and Wallace is a solid scorer who plays lock down defense and has size that we need at SF/PF. He's Mbah a moute with size and scoring ability. I still think the goal should be to rebuild around Jennings, sanders and Henson. Even Harris who has looked great in very limited work over the last few years, especially in Vegas.Hide replies
I agree with keeping Jennings, Sanders, and Henson. I don't think I'd trade Ilyasova for a SF though with only Henson as a viable replacement (don't even think of saying Udoh).
I think a starting lineup of Jennings, _______, Josh Smith, Ersan, and Sanders would be pretty strong for 13-14. Wonder if Ray would consider coming back to Milwaukee? His shooting would fit nicely.
This illustrates the big issue with Smith . . . he's not really a 3 or a 4. This would be an issue with Ersan, who is also not really a 3 or a 4. Any team with a decent 4 and 5 is going to walk through the Bucks.
You're wrong about Ersan, he is a 3 but not the way the Bucks offense is now situated. The personnel they have is geared for an uptempo game and Ersan is a Halfcourt set type of player.
But there's no 3 in this league that Ersan could cover....
This is a bad deal, Smith is talented but he wants a max deal, max deals should be reserved for franchise players and Smith is not franchise talented, nor is anyone else on the Bucks team.
The only way Hammond should do this deal is if the Hawks will take Dalembert and Beno Udrih back which would be doubtful. I'd be really peeved if Hammond included Larry Sanders in the deal, Sanders is finally blossoming and big men are so hard to come by. The deal that should be made is to trade Dalembert, Udrih, Daniels and Udoh and trade them to the Lakers for Gasol and Jodie Meeks. The Lakers owe us for the Jabbar trade it's time they get the short end in a trade, lol!Hide replies
The deals for both Dalembert and Udrih expire at the end of this season. Those deals won't affect a possible max contract for Smith at all.
Why would the Lakers do that deal?
because they still owe us for Jabbaring us?
BadgersRuleAll The Lakers would do the deal because Gasol doesn't want to be in LA anymore. Kobe Bryant isn't a very good teammate and Howard nor Gasol want to pay with him anymore.
Agreed. Very few teams have a 'Sanders' type talent on their team. He is an advantage that I'd hate to see the Bucks give away.
Whether Gasol likes LA or not, the Lakers owner and GM (the ones making the decison) are not trading Gasol for Dalembert, Udrih, Daniels and Udoh.
Sanders and Henson need to stay, along with 1st round draft picks (until the time when the Bucks are clearly free of the being a lottery team).
Josh Smith would fill the SF spot in a way the Bucks haven't had in a long time. However, I fear both the financial implications and what would be given up to get him.Hide replies
People, the Bucks are irrelevant and will continue to be until the team is sold and run properly. Who cares about the financial implications, we need to shake this thing up. The way they are sitting now anything they do can't hurt them any worse then they have been for, I don't know 25 to 30 years. Bring in a good coach and some sort of star because that's what NBA is all about. I think trading for Josh would bring a little excitement during an otherwise terrible team to watch
Atlanta is not going to get value back in a trade because teams know that Atlanta is not going to give him a max deal.

Our entire experience was horrible. First, no one to welcome us when we arrived. Then the flat and the room were not even close to cleanish. At night, we banged our head in the metal and low mezzanine bed. The bathroom & kitchen were really dirty and missing basics products and dishes, such as salt, pans, etc... We wanted to leave sooner than expected (we stayed 1 night). The owner tried to make us pay many additional fees such as cleaning and the sum we had already paid to hostel world.

YHWH, the God of the United States, was rejected by 52 percent of the people. America said, as an alternate option, we do not adhere to what God says. Without a doubt this is the most significant event in 2012. You, as a Christian, are in the minority and this nation is no longer a Christian Nation.
In addition to other recorded prophecies there is another clear Biblical sign regarding the end of the church age. No, it is not the Mayan calendar. God does not follow the date setting of man. God simply loves the Mayan people and offers them the gift of life for those who choose it.
When the Apostle Paul was questioned about the Lord's returning to take His followers and believers, more commonly referred to as the Coming of the Lord, Paul responded to the Thessalonians with a second letter. In that letter he listed at least two things that must happen before God closes out time.
First, instruction came from Paul that there were false teachers saying that the Lord had come back and many missed Him. The Bible records in Thessolonians 2:2-3, "Don't be so easily shaken, deceived or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun." Don't believe them. "That Day will not come unless the falling away comes first."
Falling away from God is a significant sign of end time truth. Europe's church attendance varies from 2 percent in Russia to 27 percent in the United Kingdom. The Catholic Church contributes as much as 45 percent of all who profess and attend the Christian churches. In 2004, pollsters found 17.7 percent of the U.S. population attended church and the percentage is probably less today.
Second, in the Thessalonian instruction from Paul, God revealed to him that the Lord was not coming back (Revelation 19) until after the "man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." There is a strong delusion in the world today. Why? (Hosea 4:6 NLT) "My people are being destroyed because they don't know me. Since you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children."
Mathew 24 quotes Jesus and lists conditions to occur at the last generation. A generation is considered to be 100 years in Genesis 15, in Psalm 90:10 it is considered to be 70 to 80 years and theologians have calculated the average length of a generation to be 58 years. The specific reference link to the last days is the reestablishment of the Nation of Israel on May 15, 1948. With the generation time line in the picture one would expect the Coming of the Lord before 2048.
Continue to watch Syria as a last day's sign that you can read in the Meridian Star. As bombs continue to reduce Damascus "to a ruinous heap" the Rebels continue their quest to oust Dictator Assad from power.
Damascus may be the oldest city in the world as it is being beaten, bombed and destroyed by the Syrian War. The Meridian Star published Dec. 7, 2012 (A10) that the Syrian Dictator was considering the use of chemical weapons. Should this come about not even a lizard will be able to crawl across the city. Never in the history of the world has Damascus been destroyed, but the bible says in Isaiah 17:1 "it will be a ruinous heap."
When this occurs SignPosts will address the Prophecy fulfillment.
