In a video posted to Reddit, the stars are said to be Wal-Mart employees in Pikeville, Ky., tossing around iPads in the storeroom for a laugh. Wal-Mart confirms it's true.
For the first time, the world's largest retailer is taking preorders on Apple's newest smartphone; it's also giving a $10 discount.
App allows users -- just employees at the moment -- to scan merchandise while they shop in the aisles instead of having them all scanned at one time at checkout
Wal-Mart's Music Downloads is the cheapest place for Windows users to purchase tunes online; just be prepared to find mostly mainstream music.
Pricing not available
It had looked like some stores were offering a healthy discount on Apple's flagship phone, but Wal-Mart now says there was "a pricing error in limited stores."
The cloud-based DVR retails for $99 and includes an antenna that also lets you watch over-the-air live television.
The joint U Prepaid service brings both carriers into the realm of big-box distribution.
A woman in Texas complains that Wal-Mart sold her an iPad that was merely a box stuffed with yellow notepads. At first Wal-Mart refuses a refund, but after a news station steps in, the company concedes there was a scam.
The retail giant started testing the service in Northern Virginia, Philadelphia, and Minneapolis. Up next: San Francisco and San Jose.
Negotiations between the retailer and DECE, the consortium that created UltraViolet, have gone well enough that some at the studios and other DECE members believe a deal is in the offing.

text: Volume three in the Giant Steps label's Shorty Rogers series is a two-fer that can be easily divided into three. The first 16 selections feature Shorty Rogers & His Giants, a quintet that matches the leader's cool-toned trumpet with the quiet playing of Jimmy Giuffre, who is heard on clarinet, tenor and baritone. The music is subtle, swinging and delightful. The second part of this reissue has the soundtrack from the Frank Sinatra drug addiction film The Man with the Golden Arm. Even with some of the pieces being little more than sketches, the music holds up apart from the film, featuring a big band filled with the who's who of West Coast Jazz plus some symphony musicians. The final section is The Voodoo Suite, a unique work that matches Pérez Prado and his band with Rogers' usual jazz players. There is a generous amount of music included on this set, giving listeners an overview as to Shorty Rogers' activities during 1954-1955.


text: Boxes is a text filter that can draw any kind of box around its input text. Box design choices range from simple boxes to complex ASCII art. A box can also be removed and repaired, even if it has been badly damaged by editing of the text inside. Since the generated boxes may be open on any side, the program can also be used to create regional comments in any programming language. New box designs of all sorts can easily be added and shared by appending to a free format configuration file. In addition to being a command line tool, Boxes integrates well with any text editor that supports filters.

Planned Parenthood Statement Regarding Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Statement from Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, regarding Martin Luther King Jr. Day:
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is proud to commemorate the amazing life, mission, and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on this January 17, 2011. Dr. King worked tirelessly in the fight against racial injustice and inequality in employment, education, housing and voting rights. Dr. King also spoke passionately about the need for equity in health care, and said in 1966, Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.
With the passage of health care reform in 2010 this nation is a step closer to a system that is more equitable for African Americans, Latinos, and others who experience higher rates of many chronic conditions, such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and cancer, and higher death rates from these conditions compared to whites. More than 7 million African Americans and more than 15 million Latinos were without health insurance in 2009, which prevented many of them from getting the preventive care or treatment they need for chronic conditions. The Affordable Care Act is the single greatest advance in making health care, including prevention, affordable and accessible to all Americans no matter their income or background.
Planned Parenthood is opposed to racism and prejudice of any kind and is fully committed to ending racial disparities in health care, including reproductive health care, that disproportionately affect African Americans, Latinos and others. More than 90 percent of the health services provided at Planned Parenthood health centers is preventive in nature, including lifesaving breast exams, Pap tests, contraception, and physical exams at an affordable cost.
In 1966, Planned Parenthood presented Dr. King with the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award, the organizations highest honor, in recognition of his excellence and leadership in furthering reproductive health and rights.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day serves as a reminder of how much we have accomplished and how much we have yet to achieve. Making affordable health care available to all Americans will ensure that Dr. Kings dream of health care justice is fulfilled.
Planned Parenthood is the nations leading sexual and reproductive health care provider and advocate. We believe that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, and that every child should be wanted and loved. Planned Parenthood affiliates operate more than 820 health centers nationwide, providing medical services and sexuality education for millions of women, men, and teenagers each year. We also work with allies worldwide to ensure that all women and men have the right and the means to meet their sexual and reproductive health care needs.

Picsel now use OrangeHRM to manage their entire HR platform across the UK, and we will soon be deploying it for international use. Our initial trials proved that OrangeHRM was a fantastic way to have a commercially viable HR Management platform from an Open Source model. Picsel pay OrangeHRM for support and OrangeHRM have always rise to the challenge when we have an issue or require an add-on to suit the way we do business. The OrangeHRM product has gone from strength to strength in an incredibly short amount of time and I am always excited to see what is coming up in the future.
HBE s use of OrangeHRM allows staff to record how much time has been spent on each job and task. After management approval, this information is loaded into our financial and payroll systems. It has greatly simplified the data entry portion of our payroll processing. Education and certification information is also stored in OrangeHRM. The system allows the company to have one source of information to query when responding to proposals and bid requests. OrangeHRM is also being interfaced with our SugarCRM and job ticketing system to further improve our time reporting process.

OrangeHRM is an amazing tool for the development of SMBs in Latin America, since it makes possible to have high quality human resources management, in order to provide greater value added to the business.
Orange HRM has helped the University of Belize drastically in facilitating work for us. Thanks to Orange HRM there is quick access to information both by employees and administrators. It facilitates the process of calculating leave for employees. It has helped also in the coherent and accurate process of vacancies and recruiting employees. The generation of reports is a wonderful job being done as there is no need for manual generation of reports. In general Orange HRM has helped the University amazingly and is continuing to help us.
As part of our long term strategy to combine the impressive capabilities of open source with a fresh, cost-effective approach to IT, Johnny Rockets immediately recognized the unique possibilities that OrangeHRM offers: A modern HRIS system based on open standards, providing extensibility, maintainability and the ability to truly recognize a significant ROI. This has afforded us the capability to integrate Human Resource Management easily into our existing infrastructure, leveraging many other previous efforts to streamline our business processes, and maximize employee efficiency; all while not giving up any expected modern HRIS features.

When life throws you for a loop and you are contracted with much more work than you are used to, perhaps it is time to upgrade your workstation. One of the simplest ways you can do this is by hooking up multiple monitors. With too many windows open, your desktop becomes cluttered and your workflow impeded. Stop getting lost in your work and hook up an extra screen today!
Last week, the Heartbleed bug was identified as a weakness in the OpenSSL cryptographic library, potentially leaking two-thirds of the Internet's secure information from any websites utilizing this encryption style. While most major websites such as Google, Yahoo, and Facebook released patches quickly, it does little to actually remediate the problem. Your data could have been leaked over the year-plus that the vulnerability could have been accessed. There is no way to know if it has been compromised.
You may think that you're awesome at multitasking, but according to cognitive psychologist Art Markman, "You are your own worst judge of how good a multitasker you are." This is because the same areas of your brain that monitor performance are the same areas activated by multitasking, which means that it's difficult to accurately evaluate your own performance.
On April 7th, a new bug on the Internet was discovered that's putting millions of users' personal data at risk. Given the name "Heartbleed bug," it's capable of allowing infiltrators to collect information while you are securely browsing a SSL/TLS website. Since SSL/TLS is so widely used, it's very probably that your personal data is at risk.
Wearable technology has dominated the tech headlines lately, and for good reason. The concept of having smart technology so easily accessible at any time is an attractive feature for many people. Some are patiently waiting for the public release of Google Glass later this year, along with many more attractive wearable technology options being released including Google's Android Wear.

Portland >Food & Dining > Laurelhurst Market
3155 E Burnside St, Portland, OR | Directions 9721445.523120 -122.632008
Wed-Mon 5pm-10pm
Neighborhoods: Kerns, Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Program
Quite possibly the best steakhouse in the city, it features a butcher shop offering meats smoked, roasted, stuffed, cured & corned on the premises. Dine on the patio when the weather's nice.
Keep Laurelhurst in mind for your last minute meat purchases as late as 10 p.m. On Tuesdays they start frying up their famous fried chicken at 11 a.m. that's only available until they sell out.
Tender steak cooked to order and served on top a bed of sauteed greens tossed in Ancho Chili Romesco & Oregon Salt. House made ricotta served warm with some of the tastiest olive oil you'll savor every bite. Don't ever feel awkward about ordering a burger here - it is to die for!
Perfect for Paleos due to the a la carte steak menu, salad offerings, and veggie sides to make your own primal meal. They've also got a butcher counter so you can stock up on grass fed meats for home cookin.
Rumps, roasts 'n racks--this protein-rich annex of popular Laurelhurst Market restaurant keeps the east side in quality meats every single day of the week, but they also serve up solid sandwiches made with housemade smoked ham, pastrami, roast turkey and corned beef. Plus, if you're fresh out of lard, you can pick some up with your lunch.
upscale deli and restaurant – We stumbled upon Laurelhurst Market and tried ou t the brisket and high quality sides. Very sophisticated deli/sandwich shop to say the least.
Won't be going back..... – First of all, I think this place is overrated. When we arrived the hostess gave us a "cool" welcome. She did not seem friendly or welcoming at all. Anyway - we got there at about 5:10 or so (they open at 5:00 p.m.) There were a few tables of people sitting already but most of the restaurant was open. We are fairly dressed up as it's my husband's birthday and we are celebrating. I had a greeting card in my hand, so it was obvious we were celebrating something.... So, she leads us back to the communal table on the end. We were the only ones sitting there, but we both looked at each other and my husband said "Can we have that table by the window?" and she said "Well, there is a guy that eats here every night and I'm saving that for him!" - so he asked if we could have another table for 2 on the end of an aisle. So she says "Well, if he doesn't show up then I can move you...." Oh brother. Really? So, after 10 minutes or so goes by - she comes over "Well, I don't think he's going to show up - so you can move." So, we moved and that was that. We started out with the tomato/mozzarella (buretta?) it was very good. We also each had a "Smoke Signals" cocktail which we both enjoyed. Our waitress was a bit bristly so I wasn't crazy about her either. My husband ordered the prime rib (which I think was the most expensive steak on the menu) and I ordered a flat iron steak, I believe. She said to me "Would you like that medium rare?" I said "Uh....no." and sort of chatted w/my husband and he thought "medium" would be okay - so that's what I ordered. Well, our steaks came and he thought his was more medium and mine was definitely medium rare. He said "You should send it back and tell her it looks medium rare." So, I flagged her down and said "I'm sorry but I think this looks more medium rare than medium." She promptly and sort of gruffly said "Well, it's definitely medium but I can take care of that.". . . . and off she goes. So, now I'm thinking she's ticked and now the chefs are too. Anyway - long story short - it came back very well done. It sort of lost the whole flavor. Nothing interesting about it - it came on top of some swiss chard, I think. Nothing interesting at all. My husband said it tasted like liver to him. He was disappointed with his because it seemed very fatty. For $33, I mean, really!? For me, I just thought they were very short sighted. Our waitress was really sort of snotty about the whole thing and when we left we walked by her and she moved out of the way and didn't say anything to us . . . . nothing like "have a nice evening" or "thanks for coming in" or anything.
I'm sorry but I was a waitress for years and I've got news for you....the customer is always right. Don't argue with me on whether it's medium or medium rare and then murder the steak when it comes back. We were very disappointed and won't be going back. Too spendy, too much attitude and not that great....
Not worth it. – This restaurant is not the rave that people give it. I went with my wife, we go out every other week as a date night and pick a place throughout the PDX area. Here
I had the Grilled Niman Prime Ribeye -- Blue Cheese Butter, Fried Sweet Onion Rings. This was ruined by the butter and blue cheese. These are supposed to be a compliment to a great cut, but instead a taste bud killer. Wife had Steak and Arugula Salad and that was actually a very tasty meal. I also ordered the fries, AKA salt lick, come on really?? Our server asked how are meals were at the beginning of our meal but not at the end, wonder why? My meal was edible but not fantastic, was not worth the $33. We wont return and I cannot recommend the place as a "Must GO!". Ruths Chris has a better tasting cut of meat.
Grossly Overrated – Oregonian raves about this dive - what you get is cool welcome, wait 'til the last member of your party arrives before you're seated? That's just their policy!
Then the show begins - over 3 hours before you cna eat and get out. Some of the things are pretty good as in the Salads & Mussels, but pretty mediocre steaks (what the specialty is), one can do better off the supermarket shelf - tough & chewy, & the fish is no better - over cooked and ...
A total disappointment!
Food was amazing, service was...can you say "soup nazi?" – I have a thing for cured meats. OK, pretty much any meats. So I have wanted to go for dinner at Laurelhurst Market for eons. Sight unseen, I convinced 3 girlfriends to meet me for dinner after work.
When I arrived, one of my girlfriends was there and had been directed to the bar. I found out later this was because (the hostess said) we could not be seated until our whole party arrived. (Where am I, Apizza Scholls?) We ordered drinks at the bar, and there were only 2 other tables full in the restaurant, not sure why she refused to seat us?
The bartender was kind enough but used a jigger to pour and since I like martinis I downed 3 of the worlds smallest cocktails, and our 4th gal pal still had not arrived.
The restaurant was still not too busy, but we were starving, so I asked the hostess if we could be seated.
She hesitantly agreed, and said we should close out our bar tab. (Yeah, I asked, it can't be transfered to the table).
Then came the absolutely amazing food. Chacutarie plate had 5-6 different meats to try, grilled romaine salad with romanesco sauce was perfection, mussels and fries were top notch, as were bites from my friend's plates, the salmon and brisket. Couldn't imagine better executed food.
But the service! They took away our appetizer plates and forks 3-4 times, even when we protested that they were still being used.
Please, Laurelhurst Market, find a front of the house that is worthy of this excellent food!!!
Best pork ever – I was taken there (first visit) by my son and his wife for my birthday dinner and I couldn't have been happier. We arrived about 6:30 and were seated immediately, and the place filled up soon after. The menu was quite interesting just to read, making it hard to choose. Liver pate starter was wonderful, and my pork hock was melt-in-the-mouth tender and flavorful. The amount of the accompanying beans and rapini were just right, the emphasis was on quality, not quantity. Our waitress was attentive buy not intrusive. All in all, a fine experience.
Best Brisket Ever – Seriously the best brisket ever. Go.
Meh – Last night my boyfriend and I went to Laurelhurst Market for the first time. I had heard great things about the place, and judging from how busy it was I was excited. Two spots at the bar miraculously became available as we entered - so I was excited to have dinner. The bartender was nice and attentive to his guests, which was great considering how busy they were. We received our appetizer (braised short-rib, mozzarella and risotto fritters). They were so incredibly salty - and horrible - that we couldn't eat them, lost our appetite (which never happens with me) and left.
I will say, I didn't bring the concerns up with our bartender, so they didn't have a chance to resolve it - but it was so horrible, I wouldn't have wanted anything else. Maybe, someday, I'll give them another shot. but that won't happen for a while.
Not worth the hype – We just got home for our first meal at Laurelhurst Market and were totally disappointed. We had read the reviews — pro and con — and so were going in with eyes open and expectations moderated after the initial round of rave reviews. We arrived at 5:30 pm on a Sunday night and after an initial mix-up on our appetizer order, were served our salad and soup — the soup a Sunchoke and Crab Bisque was nice, but served luke warm (at best). Then the wait began … 10 minutes … 20 minutes .. reassurance that our order was coming just 3 minutes away … another 5-10 minutes and the finally our order. My hanger steak was served luke warm, medium rare and fine, but nothing special, and my husband's rib eye was stone cold in the center — medium — but stone cold. They tried to make up for it with a discount on the bill, but seriously .. how many other places are there in Portland where you can go to get good, no really great food, and consistent, attentive service and food that is actually hot? I'm not going back. Definitely NOT a "Best" Restaurant in town.
Unorganized and rude hostess – Our first visit to this restaurant was fine. Our second attempt was a complete disaster.
I called the evening before Valentine's Day and was told they didn't accept reservations. I asked if we arrived at 5pm if he thought we could get a table. He said we should be fine.
My husband and I got in line at 10 to 5pm. I went in and asked one hostess if there was a list or anything we needed to do. She replied that this hadn't happened before and to just wait in line. After waiting in line for ten
minutes to enter the restaurant we were rudely turned away because we didn't have a reservation. I explained the situation to the woman (a different hostess) and she could have cared less. She didn't even pretend to care or be sorry. If we wouldn't have been told different stories, I would have happily sat at the bar. I couldn't believe how poorly this woman treated us. I have no plan to spend another penny at this restaurant. I do plan on calling and complaining to a manager though.
It's really unfortunate because we live in the neighborhood. Laurelhurst Market should try not to upset it's locals and get their staff on the same page.

A sweet little hotel in a lovely old building, our room was looking directly on to the cathedral and it was very romantic when its all lit up at night. It's also easy to find and the room was nice, a proper double bed and a tv. Only stayed one night, but definitely no complaints

If you need to use up all of that basil from the garden, make basil-flavored salt: Pulse ½ cup kosher salt and ½ cup packed basil leaves in a food processor, then spread on a baking sheet and bake at 225 degrees F until dry, 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through. Let cool and pulse again to make a fine powder. Serve it with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella at a cookout, or package it to give to the neighbors.

Available in Program, Combi, and Sequencer modes, you can get done what you need to with a minimum of fuss and effort.Mix & MatchIn addition to the individual programs, a combination (or combi) allows up to 16 sound programs to be stacked, split, layered, and zoned across the keyboard; or set to individual MIDI channels. Nearly 400 of these combis come preloaded, offering up tasty blends and splits for live performance. All of the preloaded sounds are completely editable, and there is plenty of room on-board (640 Programs, 512 Combinations) for all the sounds that you edit, modify, or create on your own.Effective EnergyThe generous effect section of the Korg M50-88 brings your sounds to life. Five insert effects and two master effects can be assigned and routed at will, with a total effect to add that final polish. From spacious and luxurious reverbs to space-warping modulation types, the effects can not only embellish a sound after the fact, but they can also be part of the sound programming itself, adding unique and defining sonic elements. D-mod (Dynamic Modulation) allows realtime control of various parameter effects as part of your performance. Effect parameters can be sync'd to the two common LFOs or a MIDI Clock source to further integrate the effects into the overall sound. Over 170 top-quality effects are available, including Korg's proprietary REMS modeling effects. Each program, whether alone, in a combi, or assigned to a sequencer track, is equipped with its own 3-band EQ for that final tone shaping.Let There Be Drums!Korg squeezed in over 1,600 drum and percussion samples that can be laid out into full drum kit programs. Ready and waiting are 32 drum kits, with room for 48 more of your own. Adding to the drum kits, the drum track feature hosts some 670 drum grooves that you can jam along to, or use to kick-start and inspire your own song ideas. In fact, each program has a matching drum track pre-assigned to get you started.Arpeggiation MaximusThe arpeggiator has been a staple on Korg keyboards since the 1980s, and the M50-88 more than delivers on that heritage. It has the ubiquitous up, down, and random patterns you'd expect, plus dual polyphonic arpeggiators that can serve up cascading chords, groovin' bass lines, chord-driven picking patterns, and punchy accents to spice up your performance. In the Sequencer and Combi modes, both arpeggiators can run simultaneously—each addressing different timbres—creating powerful possibilities such as one running drum grooves and one running bass patterns, or even using velocity to switch between patterns on the same sound.Rapid Results SequencingThe keyboard's on-board sequencer is the core of your music production studio. Over 200,000 notes can be recorded on 16 MIDI tracks and up to 128 songs. Enhanced 480 ppq resolution captures your performance with pinpoint accuracy whether you play in realtime or step notes in one at a time. A plethora of advanced, yet easy-to-use editing features are available to help you sculpt your song into its final form. Song Templates designed for a variety of musical genres allow you to get started quickly, with sounds and effects all selected and routed for you. Or try Korg's unique RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) function, calling up any of the 671 drum patterns to get started, and assigning shorter patterns and phrases to individual keys; you can even loop each track to build the perfect groove before the inspiration runs out. Sequence individual sections of the song separately, and then use the Cue List function to assemble and tryout different arrangements. Then you'll be remix ready! Since you never know when inspiration will strike, the one-touch record (Auto Song Setup) feature transfers all your current settings into a new song and starts the sequencer, capturing your ideas as the foundation of a new song.EDSKorg's most advanced hardware engine ever, Enhanced Definition Synthesis is the musical heart of both the M50-88 and the M3. Each individual voice can lay claim to up to two stereo oscillators, four filters, two amp sections, five Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO), and five time-variant Envelope Generators (EG). On the technical side, each stereo oscillator can achieve four-way velocity switching, crossfading, or layering. This allows a single voice to use up to eight stereo multisamples to ensure a dynamic and expressive sound. Each voice also has access to up to four multi-mode (High Pass, Band Pass, Band Reject, Low-pass) filters; two filters per oscillator running side by side, stacked, or in series, as well as a superb 24dB mode. Even the amp section can add to the shape and texture of the sound with a drive circuit to add a harder, rougher edge, and a low boost to fatten up that big bottom. Plug-In PerformanceThe M50-88 includes both standalone and plug-in sound editing software for more detailed graphic editing on your computer, connecting directly via USB. The plug-in version allows you to edit the M50-88's sounds from inside any DAW (VST, Audio Units, and RTAS formats), allowing your edits and changes to be part of the song file without having to switch applications to tweak a sound. The workstation also uses convenient SD cards for economical and reliable data storage.Sounds. Easy.The Korg M50-88 is chock full of sounds and features. It's high-visibility, 320 x 240 pixel resolution TouchView interface allows direct touch-screen access to hundreds of parameters. Finding the sounds you need is simple thanks to the way they've been organized by category, as are effects, drum patterns, arps and even waveforms.

The Most Sexy-Stylish Rock Covers of All Time
What are your most crush-worthy LP covers?
Welcome to the most controversial post ever written (in the past hour). I have collected the sexiest album covers on the planet. Since my taste is based on childhood ostracism and one too many cats, you may be keen to disagree. Feel free to dispute and share your own favorites. Only three rules: no albums after the mid-80s, since most of us had switched to mix tapes by then. Please justify your reasoning. And while back covers and inside album artwork are acceptable, they should be included sparingly.
Without further ado, 13 LPs that make me weak in the knees and three that make me wan't to gouge out my eyes...

I seem to remember the only time a gundam was ever even beaten by a regular MS during the series was by Zechs in the tallgeese, and I'm pretty sure Heero was already wounded before the battle. The aforementioned vayeate and mercurius barely even count for giving the gundams a hard time because they A) Were made from gundanium, by an ex-project meteor scientist, B) They both had AIs based directly on gundam pilot main characters, and C) They end up getting blown up within an episode or two anyway. Include the non-project meteor Epyon into this list, and... Well, yeah. You can't really disprove that the main character's gundams weren't just character shielding it up until Endless Waltz.
EW itself... might have counted as a gundam loss if they didn't do the whole "Try to win without killing anyone!" thing. The MS serpents were supposed to be Oz's fanciest gundam-killing units from the end of the war in the first place. Did they actually knock out a single MS with a character inside? Even Noin's outdated Tarus? Nope. The Wing Zero more or less blew it's own arms off, so I have no idea if that one counts or not.
It's not the worst anime space opera series by a long shot at any rate, but, I'm sorry, the technology and tactics were sillyville.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is from the same-ish time period and has melodrama by the buckets, but still stands head and shoulders over GW because of the numerous unwinnable scenarios provided by it's attention to detail. That's the difference in my eyes, at least.

Allan L. Adair III, '14
Allan is an economics and management – accounting major. In particular, he likes Albion's small classes where professors know all of the students individually. The E&M faculty has kept Allan on track academically, as he has been on the dean's list every semester.
"The best part of the E&M department is the faculty and staff," he says. "They really go out of their way to help you succeed, whether in class or in life."
Albion's accounting courses helped Allan land two paid accounting internships: one with Willis and Jurasek, a small accounting firm in Jackson, the other with the Albion College Business Office. As part of the E&M department's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program for two years, Allan has had the opportunity to work directly with clients in the Albion community.
Outside the classroom, Allan played for two years on the varsity football team and is currently president of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and treasurer of the Accounting Society.
"As an E&M major, I have had great experiences and outstanding opportunities," he says.

Learn about the righteousness of God and understand the bondage of sin in Paul's life-changing letter to the Romans. Study how God's solution to man's sinful dilemma through justification by faith in Jesus and the free gift of grace. Understanding these essential doctrines will strengthen your faith!
Beloved, we've talked about two kinds of love: Storge, meaning natural affection, and Eros—erotic love. Both of these are based on our own self interests. But today we'll look at two more words for love; one that describes the love of friends and another that has its origins in God Himself! Remember, love is a choice! How will you choose to love?
It was late. She was in bed, reading, and waiting for him to come home. When he walked into the room she looked up and smiled. She opened her mouth to say something, but he walked past her without a word.
Beloved, family was on God's heart from the beginning. When He sent His son to earth, he intentionally put Him in a family. Although He was the Son of God, God saw to it that His Son was raised with a mother, father, and siblings in an ordinary family.
I'll never forget his face—the gravity of words haltingly spoken from one so young. He was just a child, yet shouldering the blame of being unaccepted, unwanted, rejected by both his birth parents and numerous foster parents who kept sending him back. "It was my fault they didn't want me. I guess I just didn't know how to be good."

If you didn't know, the Science Channel cast Morgan Freeman as the host of its new series, "Through the Wormhole."
Having played God on screen in several films, it's a role that Freeman seems comfortable with. In fact, he really believes he IS God.
We found that out when he sat down with TheWrap to talk about an upcoming segment called "Did We Invent God?"
Let's just say Mr. Freeman didn't hold back.

With a variety of sizes and colors to choose from, you can find a storage closet or wardrobe that will look great in any classroom, maintenance room or office. Metal storage cabinets from Sandusky Lee are durable and versatile. When you invest in this excellent storage solution, you can be sure that it will serve you well for many years to come.
While metal cabinets are sturdy and dependable, you might want something more attractive for a professional setting. If you need some extra space for supplies and equipment in the principal's office or executive suite, veneer and wood cabinets from top office furniture manufacturers including DMI and Mayline are great. Many of them are part of full collections so they can be coordinated perfectly with office desks and other furniture.
How can I get more office storage?
In addition to having attractive cabinets, many professionals require some extra filing space and room for office supplies. An office credenza can also be coordinated with other furniture. It includes a combination of cabinets, box drawers and file drawers that will help keep a workspace organized while ensuring that materials are accessible.
Every educational setting requires lots of great storage. Schools need extra supplies on the premises, but not everything has to be out in the open at all times. Whether you just need an extra cabinet for the art room, or you need a full lineup of storage solutions for the whole building, Hertz Furniture has it all - and then some.
Where is a safe place to store lab supplies?
Appropriate lab storage is essential for any science classroom where students are doing hands-on experiments. When you need to store microscopes, petri dishes and chemicals, we have all of the right equipment. You can choose between units with wood and glass doors that are wall-mounted or freestanding. Locking cabinets protect valuable equipment and supplies as well as students. If your science lab has a lot of chemicals, a flammable liquids cabinet is recommended. This locking storage unit ensures that potentially harmful chemicals remain locked up until they are needed for supervised use.
What kinds of storage do you need in a school?
Students put a lot of time and effort into paintings and drawings, so you want to make sure that their hard work is not accidentally damaged. When paintings are left to dry on countertops and tables, they can easily get knocked over or smudged. With art drying racks, you can make sure that student work is protected from damage as it dries. Our high-capacity art racks are great for large schools where many students use the art room over the course of a day.
A school with a full creative arts program will also require some excellent instrument storage. Whether you have a marching band, orchestra, academic music program or all of the above, having an appropriate place to keep instruments in school is very helpful to students. Rather than carrying their instruments around all day, they can leave them locked up securely in the music room. This arrangement makes the whole experience of music in the educational environment much more pleasant.
Demonstrate your support and pride for student accomplishments with our sleek trophy display cases. Whether your soccer team has won the state championship or the debate club has made it to the finals, all students will appreciate a prominent display space that showcases their achievements. When visitors and parents pass by artfully-displayed acknowledgements of your school's awards they are sure to be impressed.
Where should you put bookcases?
When you need bookcases for an office, classroom or school library, Hertz Furniture has an excellent selection. Bookshelves can be coordinated with office decor or color-coded by subjects in a library. We have steel, veneer and wood bookshelves, so you can choose the material you prefer. Educational Edge bookcases offer a great way to bring some color into a classroom. When books are displayed prominently on proper shelving, people can see that your company or institution cares about scholarship and promotes the acquisition of knowledge.
Having great shelving and closets is always convenient - except when you need to move everything. A fully-stocked closet or bookshelf can be quite a challenge to relocate. With mobile storage units, you can simply roll everything into position without having to carry anything. This saves time and back strain.
What is the easiest way to move tables and chairs?
Speaking of mobility and storage, chair dollies and table carts are a great option to consider if your school, company or church has temporary seating and tables. Whenever a room needs to be set up for a big event, furniture can easily be rolled out of storage and moved to the desired location. Our table dollies and chair trucks are designed for easy maneuvering and compact storage.
You can never go wrong when you purchase storage solutions from Hertz Furniture. Our variety of multipurpose cabinets and custom equipment provides you with any kind of storage you might need in a school, office or church. When your possessions are stored and displayed properly, the whole building will take on an organized and attractive feel.

By furnishing a learning space with American made school desks, student chairs and bookcases, we send a message to children that we are proud of our country and our home-grown goods. They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.

|Apollo 12
Mission Summary
Apollo 12
The Apollo Program
| The
Apollo 12 mission was the second manned lunar landing mission. Its objective
was to perform detailed scientific lunar exploration. The space vehicle
with a crew of Charles (Pete) Conrad, Jr., the commander; Richard F. Gordon,
the command module pilot; and Alan L. Bean, the lunar module pilot, was
launched from Kennedy Space Center, Fla.,
at 11:22:00 EST on November 14, 1969.
The first of two planned extravehicular activiy (EVA) periods began at 115 hr GET. A color television camera mounted on the descent stage provided live television coverage of the descent of both astronauts to the lunar surface. Television coverage was subsequently lost because of the inadvertent pointing of the camera at the Sun.
The crew emplaced the U.S. flag and the solar-wind composition experiment. They collected lunar samples and core-tube specimens during this first EVA period which lasted approximately four hours.
Following a seven-hour rest period, the second EVA period began at 131.5 hr GET. The two astronauts started a geology traverse. The traverse covered approximately 4300 feet (1311 meters) and lasted 3 hours and 50 minutes. During the traverse, documented samples, core-tube samples, trench site samples, and gas analysis samples were collected. The Apollo 12 samples were mostly basalts, dark-colored igneous rocks, and they were hundreds of millions of years younger than the rocks collected on Apollo 11.
The crew photographed Surveyor III, which landed on the lunar surface in April 1967, and retrieved a painted tube, an unpainted tube, the Surveyor III scoop and the television camera. The television camera is now on display in the National Air and Space Museum's "Exploring The Planets" gallery.
Another rest period and a final checkout preceded the liftoff of the lunar module ascent stage at 142 hr GET. Following crew transfer, the ascent stage was remotely guided to impact on the lunar surface to provide an active seismic source for the passive seismic experiment that had been emplaced. The command module landed in the Pacific Ocean at 244.5 hr GET.

FACULTY VOICES: Impact of the Citizens United DecisionBy: By Michael Kang and Danieele Friedman 10L
Few U.S. Supreme Court decisions ever receive the publicity that followed Citizens United v. FEC, which was decided in January. The case received a great deal of public attention because it addressed a major question of federal campaign law and represented a number of notable firsts, including the first oral argument by Elena Kagan as solicitor general and the first case for Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
Initially some three years ago, the case presented a surprisingly mundane question of statutory interpretationhow to apply the electioneering communications provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act to video-on-demand showings of a political documentary, Hillary, the Movie.
However, on the last day of the 2008 term, the Court unexpectedly delayed its decision in the much-anticipated case. The Court instead scheduled a second round of oral arguments for the following fall and requested additional briefing on the fundamental question whether federal law prohibiting campaign advocacy by corporations was unconstitutional under the First Amendment.
The decision the Court finally handed down in January has the potential to transform campaign finance law. In Citizens United, the Court ruled unconstitutional a basic element of federal campaign finance lawlongstanding prohibitions on corporate expenditures in federal elections. These prohibitions applied to expenditures by corporations from their treasury funds to pay for campaign advertisements expressly advocating the defeat or victory of federal candidates. They prevented corporations, for instance, from directly paying for the production or broadcasting of campaign advertisements with a federal election.
In earlier decisions, the Court ruled that the government could restrict such corporate expenditures because they presented a risk of political corruption. Particularly in light of the riches available to corporations from their treasuries, the government was constitutionally entitled to restrict corporate expenditures with the goal of reducing the risk that corporations might unduly influence federal officeholders by paying for expensive advertisements that would benefit their political prospects.
However, in Citizens United, the Court overruled this precedent and reasoned that corporate expenditures present no threat of political corruption and therefore their restriction by the government was unconstitutional under the First Amendment. The Court explained there was no threat of corruption because corporate independent expenditures, by definition, are made without coordination with, or any other involvement of, any federal candidate or officeholder, even if federal candidates or officeholders benefit from the expenditures.
As a result, absent the risk of this type of corruption, the Court ruled that government restriction of campaign speech, specifically the federal prohibition on corporate expenditures, is unconstitutional.
Although the immediate effect of Citizens United is surely to be increased corporate spending in elections, the decision may be more important for what it signals about the Courts future direction on campaign finance law. Of course, the decision ignited a media firestorm regarding the potential of corporations to flood the media with influential campaign advertisements in unprecedented fashion.
However, the doctrinal impact of Citizens United is likely to be even more significant and far-reaching. Citizens United indicates the Court is likely in future cases to narrow the scope of the governments constitutional interest in of the prevention of corruption. This narrowing would have profound consequences that extend well beyond Citizens United, because virtually all campaign finance regulation depends on this anticorruption rationale for its constitutionality.
Taken to its logical extreme, the Courts view of corruption, as articulated by Justice Anthony Kennedy in Citizens United, may limit campaign finance restrictions not much beyond the regulation of contributions to candidates and officeholders. Indeed, Citizens United is making an immediate impact on a number of important campaign finance cases before the lower courts and may be only an early step in the transformation of campaign finance law.
In SpeechNow.org v. FEC, the first significant case taking its cue from Citizens United, the D.C. circuit struck down the routine application of federal contribution limits to independent 527 organizations that make only independent expenditures.
What is more, there is a line of cases through which the Court may dismantle other significant elements of federal campaign finance law, including soft money restrictions on political parties and 527 groups, as well as different forms of disclosure requirements.
Citizens United therefore marks a critical moment in campaign finance law. The government won nearly every major campaign finance case for more than a decade under the Rehnquist Court through McConnell v. FEC in 2003.
However, since Chief Justice William Rehnquists retirement, the Roberts Court has decided a series of significant campaign finance cases against the government. Citizens United signals the direction of the Roberts Court toward a larger rollback of campaign finance regulation.
Professor Michael Kang teaches Election Law, Business Associations, and Law and Democratic Governance. His research focuses on issues of voting rights, race, redistricting, campaign finance and direct democracy.
Danielle Friedman 10L is a student focused on election law. Her interests include topics related to voting rights, campaign finance and disclosure.

Got a group that craves adventure? Bring them on down to Sydney and the Hunter Valley, where the Aussies have cooked up a series of activities that will keep the adrenaline pumping — with the appropriate touches of luxury, of course.
Climbin': Take a 3-hour guided climb to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, which at the top of its arch rises 426 feet over the city. It's just difficult enough to get the blood pumping, it's very safe (you're attached to the railing at all times), and the view from the top is worth the effort and then some. To find out more, go to www.bridgeclimb.com.
Divin': On a prime piece of harbor real estate at Circular Quay (where the commuter ferries chug in and out at all hours) sits the Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibits of the newest in Australian art are all the things expected from a contemporary art gallery, but there's another kind of fun available from the seventh floor — diving off the roof (feet first or head first, as you prefer) and rappelling down the side. It's thrilling — it absolutely stops pedestrian traffic while you're doing it — and safe, thanks to the careful work of BushSports Adventure Event Management, which organizes the activity. For more information, go to www.mca.com.au.
Drivin': Transfer (two and a half hours by bus, or 20 minutes by plane) north to the beautiful wine country of the Hunter Valley. Then go out to the Port Stephens sand dunes, where Tony Burrell and his crew from Sand Safaris (www.sandsafaris.com) will give your group a half-hour training session and then lead them out onto the dunes, each aboard his or her own Honda 4×4 Quad Bike — sort of a four-wheeled motorcycle with the handling characteristics of a snowmobile. A pair of guides will take the riders up and down the dunes, with the ocean just a glance to one side. It's like being on a thrill ride, except it's the real thing.
Do it in the morning, then come back for a session of wine school with Philp Helé of Hunter Resort Country Estate, the largest winemaker in the Valley. And don't forget to ask one of the Hunter Valley's many knowledgeable coach drivers to pick a vineyard for your group to visit, and maybe take them out chasing kangaroos through the vines at dusk.
