Tea Tree Oil
[YEA] 02/17/2008: Claudia from Los Angeles, CA: "Tea tree oil really helps me to prevent herpes outbreaks. When i feel the infected area starting to become itchy, which is a symptom for me that i'll be having an outbreak, i apply tea tree oil 2 to 3 times during the day. This prevents any sores from appearing."Replies
[YEA] 05/30/2008: Jennie from Cph, DK replies: "I can totally back this up. Tea tree oil is great for herpes, wherever it may be. Apply it as soon as you feel an outbreak coming."
[YEA] 06/03/2010: Nicole from Dallas, Texas, Usa replies: "Tea Tree Oil is the only thing that has worked for me. As soon as I feel any tingle or pain or itch I put some on a cotton pad and apply it to the area for about an hour.Then for the next 24 hours I apply it after using the restroom. If I catch it as soon as I feel anything I can abort the outbreak. If I dont get it till the blisters are already forming it usually cuts the outbreak down to 24 hours or less. I also have found taking lysin and ST. Johns wort 3x a day has really boosted my immunity and provided less breakouts."
[YEA] 01/14/2014: Joost from Madrid replies: "It definitely works but apply it as early as possible, then there is a chance the blisters will be avoided at all.. When you are late and the blisters are already there, try to rub the oil as deep as possible, even try some slight scratching, so oil enters deeper - I let it burn a bit down, then you get the best results.."
Ted's Remedies for Genital Herpes
11/13/2006: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand: "For this week, I am doing experiments on the efficacy of zinc acetate and magnesium chloride solutions against genital herpes virus and herpes simplex virus. It took me only two days to cure my aunt, but hope to reduce that to only one day would be nice. However, she was suffering months using the typical hospital meds (it is actually almost a year but who's counting?) I also found that zinc acetate and magnesium chloride solution (and some fulvic acid) effectively stopped food poisoning due to bacteria. So I guess it is great for stomach ailments.
With this treatment, Herpes is gone within a day, but the virus can remain dormant for a month. I haven't got the science of virus down to a tee how long they can remain dormant. This is true of any viruses, whether they are AIDs or even Herpes simplex. You still need to keep applying the solution of Zinc Chloride and Magnesium Chloride at least 4 times a day and do it for at least a month.
The exact measurement for the herpes simplex cure is a 5% concentration of Zinc Chloride and a 5% concentration of Magnesium Chloride. This is the simplest formula that is most easy to remember. Viruses take a long time to kill because they hide inside your body.
To quicken the kill so they can no longer hide dormant, you should take 25-50 mg. of zinc acetate for a week alternatively. This means take this one week on and take it one week off. Do this for about two months.
The other thing is you need to alkalize taking at least 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water twice a day. Once in the evening and once in the morning on an empty stomach. It is done to avoid possible interactions with salty foods which causes diarrhea or loose stools. What I can say is this formula works better than any meds in the market that I know of. It is not a perfect formula, but it is still the best. The formula do needs some improvement, but of course I often face the reality of constraints."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "The easiest treatment and simplest treatment for herpes is to use fresh olive leaf or use olive leaf extract. However, in practice I used more than one just to make sure they don't come back again.
Since I am talking about olive leaf, this is also used against Epstein-Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well, due to its antiviral properties. As a result, I have cut and paste portions describing in more details the oleuropeins found in olive leaf -- see below. I suspect that olive leaf extract when mixed with apple cider vinegar would increase its antiviral potency, especially when you have the common colds or pneumonia coming.
For those already against vaccination the olive leaf can be eaten regularly as a protection against other deadly viral diseases as well."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes: "Try about 1-2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar three times a day. If it is too sour for you, mix it in water. I do have some reservations about using honey but if necessary you may add it. If you can get a good clear solution of colloidal silver it is really helpful for herpes conditions. While most help will be from olive leaf, it is best that you take whatever you have with you.
The secret to alleviating your herpes has a lot to do with your diet as it affects your immune system. Most important is to avoid sugar completely, especially avoid soda pop, shakes, candies, cookies, cakes, and ice cream. These are main sources of sugar which fuels viral growth and shuts down your immunity system for about 2-3 hours. [** Earth Clinic's additional note: completely AVOID any diet products containing aspartame as this ingredient can trigger a herpes outbreak within hours.**]
Secondly avoid all fried foods, and fast foods, these harm the liver with needed toxins, and most obvious is smoking and drinking. Alcoholic drinks destroys the liver by hardening it. Vegetable oils and margarine are the worse offenders as they are both hydrogenated and trans fatty acid, which is forbidden by farmers in feeding pigs. Pigs will die from hardening of arteries if you feed pigs with vegetable oil rich foods. Eating just fresh vegetables -uncooked and unsweetened salad dressing, such as olive oil and lemon. Partially boiled eggs is helpful as it contains lecithin and will help the liver recover. Take some zinc supplements, especially zinc acetate and/or zinc gluconate as these zinc compounds are strongly antiviral. One secret to curing herpes that my friend mentioned sometime ago, is to take aspirin twice a day along with a strong black coffee. For some reason, aspirin has been shown to be strongly antiviral. If it wasn't for aspirin with some caffeine, my sister would have died of pneumonia. For some reason, authorities do not like using aspirin, but they do work on herpes just as well.
You have to understand that there are many antiviral natural therapies, but they are not many in the drugs stores because they are harder to synthesize and patent them, such as apple seed or apricot seeds. These two are also helpful against the herpes virus also. Take between 1-3 apricots seeds a day. Most health stores carry them, but get them from your supermarket, as fresh apricot seeds are your best bet. Get some pliers to break open the shell, however.
If you do many of these recommendations, your condition should improve within a month or two (worse case scenario)."
Question: Is it safe to take colloidal silver and olive leaf extract together?
"Yes, it's o.k. to take them together. Also frequency of intake (taken every 3-6 hours for example) rather than the amount we take is what kills a virus from reproducing. Viruses reproduce back to their normal population within about 4-6 hours. So if the frequency during the first weeks' of intake might be every three hours, when the viruses weaken you can stretch it to say 5-6 hours, this is just an example.)
Once your conditions are gone you must continue taken them at least more 3 months to kill all the residual viruses hidden in your body before there is a real cure. That's really the secret. Take plenty of rest, stay away from fried foods, sugar, soft drinks, tea, get plenty of rest, stay away from stress, and avoid overcooked foods at all costs, and any vaccinations (flu, etc.) as the vaccination for some reason destroys your natural immunity (thimerosal) as your present conditions are already weakened, so additional vaccine is usually detrimental due to accumulation of additional heavy metal toxins.
Re: Fresh Olive Leaf
"Unfortunately most herb stores do not have fresh olive leaf. If your local store has one, its great. If you can't find one, go to a Plant Nursery -- they might have a olive tree you can grow one at your home. This is what I did. I grow my own olive leaf tree. And yes, it is best that you take it along with apple cider
vinegar as it also have antiviral properties.
When you buy an olive tree from a nursery, I would prefer you to buy a large olive tree already. This way you do not have to wait for it to grow. You can use it immediately.
Preparation: Get fresh young leaf from olive tree. 4-5 leaves will do. Wash them clean and you may put them in a blender, mixed with fruit juices, etc. Storein a refrigerator. For me, I keep things simple. I eat them directly after I wash the leaf clean. In Thailand, we eat lots of them as a delicacy or part of a meal, much like salads in the U.S., although the salad dressing are very different here."
Links: http://alternative-medicine-message-boards.info/viewtopic.php?t=1031"Olive Leaf fights the Herpes Virus-
In 1969 the research of Dr. Renis working with the Upjohn company, proved that a compound of oleuropein from the olive leaf could kill all viruses, including the herpes virus, against which it was tested. The virucidal activity of oleuropein was due to its interaction with the protein coat of the virus and not with its genetic material. Ref. 1.
In 1992 French biologists working at the Laboratoire de Pharmacognosie, Faculte de Pharmacie in Rennes France, found that all of the herpes viruses were inhibited or killed by extracts from olive leaf. They supported their findings by citing 28 references to the virucidal qualities of oleuropein in their report. Ref. 2.
Olive Leaf reduces Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-
In the U.S.A. the use of olive leaf extract has become very popular with doctors, naturopaths and the general public where it is being prescribed for the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
CFS is associated with immune dysfunction, which allows infections with a variety of opportunistic microbes from herpes-viruses, retro viruses, fungi and parasites.
Many sufferers will have an overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans, along with a chronic active infection with the Epstein-Barr Virus ( EBV or glandular fever ).
By the end of early adulthood almost everyone has detectable levels of EBV anti-bodies in their blood, meaning that they have at some stage, been invaded by this virus. In those with a healthy immune system the virus is kept in a dormant or latent state and does not produce any symptoms.
If the host's immune system becomes weakened or overloaded the glandular fever virus (Epstein- Barr Virus-EBV) begins to reactivate and cause disease.
EBV belongs to the herpes family of viruses, and all herpes viruses tend to reactivate in those with compromised immune systems such as in cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS ) and treatment with chemotherapy.
Dr. W.J. Martin, head of molecular immunopathology at the University of Southern California Medical Centre has found strange retro viruses called "foamy viruses" in a high percentage of patients with CFS.
These patients complained of persistent debilitating, flu-like symptoms similar to CFS. Other viruses that are being studied as possible causes of CFS are HTLV-2, entero-viruses such as the polio virus, herpes-virus type VI and the cytomegalovirus.
These kinds of viruses reside in most people but are kept in a dormant state by our immune systems.
Until the virus fighting properties of olive leaf extract were recently rediscovered and proved, there has been very little specific treatment to overcome virally induced CFS. Now it is possible to fight these viruses by taking sufficient quantities of olive leaf extract capsules in repeated doses.
It is the hydrolyzed components of elenolic acid with its calcium elenolate salt that are bound by nature into the structure of the olive leaf that are able to fight these viruses so effectively."
06/25/2013: Chris from Winnipeg: "Ted's treatment for Genital Herpes: Does anyone know what stuff and where I can get it from Ted's message?"
11/22/2012: Postive Mind from Caribbean, Aa: "Hello I have been reading on all the sites about this herpes treatment till now this is the more convincing site I see out here the other are mostly fake responds, but I notice that most ppl have found a cure or they got something that did stop the outbreaks, but are waiting to get cured complete. Now for me just go get tested so see if your cured already or check what kinda results would come out, why wait so long. Everybody is waiting to drink more of the medications to be sure, maybe you dont have to wait so long. Go get tested and let us know what the results be. And also ppl post some information about some cure and you never see them or hear from them again so whats up with that?"
[SIDE EFFECTS] 11/20/2012: Ange from Denver, Co: "After two weeks of taking Oil of Oregano P73, ACV and Olive Leaf Extract, my Blood Pressure measured in today at 92/60. After doing some more research, all three of these things are known to lower BP, so please be careful."
08/11/2012: Nana from Toronto, Ontario: "I started using this oil of oregano, do you think its really true with this case and do you think its to much to use 5 dr 3x day? Did this guy posted any updates?
06/19/2012: Cured From Chicago from Chicago, Il"
07/26/2012: Elaina from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada: "Hi Ted, I've been an big fan of you for a few years now. Never have replied to anything but am always reading your posts!
I believe I have some form of the herpes virus in my bladder. It began 2 years ago with what felt like a UTI that never showed bacteria. I went to a naturopathic doctor who treated me for 'a virus in your bladder'.. Never telling me what kind because he didn't know. A few months down the road I began taking high doses of l-lysine and Vit. C for cold sores and noticed, miraculously, my bladder symptoms became less. I have had insomnia and wake up every night at 4am unable to go back to sleep since this started but when I take lysine I am able to get an okay night sleep. I also try to stick to a 'herpes diet' and have noticed improvement from the exclusion of nuts.
I'm sorry this is so long. What I am wondering is, would the same remedy work for having this virus in my bladder (possibly kidneys I don't know)? I believe with all my heart that many people diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, as I was numerous times, have some un-detected virus in the bladder or urinary tract. I have read the Epstein Barr virus loves the lining of the bladder. Go figure."
[YEA] 06/19/2012: Cured From Chicago from Chicago, Il: "CURED!!! I've suffered from GH for years and tried several different natural remedies, to no prevail, UNTIL I heard about Oil of Oregano. It has to be the one that was ORIGINALLY made from wild meditteranean oregano. Not imitators. This brand is the strongest source on the earth. Put 5 drops under the tongue, 3 times a day and hold it there for at least 30 seconds. Also, I took 3 capsules of Oregamax twice daily. The symptoms were gone so quickly it made my head spin and they haven't returned!!! I am going to get tested again soon and I will post an update. I know my body is clear of this ugly virus. I can feel it!
There is a Doctor who wrote a book about the oregano cure and stated that Oil of Oregano (has to say P73 on the bottle) disintegrates the herpes virus from the body, seeking it out of it's hiding place. You must continue to take the drops for a couple of months at least to eradicate the virus completely. It is such a relief! I can get married and have a family without having to worry about burdening them, as I have been burdened, with this horrible virus. I must also add, that I have done alot of spiritual healing and that has helped with the emotional issues that came hand in hand with this virus. I know that there is a higher power and he put natural cures on this earth for us. I am so grateful for that. Thank you for reading. I know if you have faith in these wonderful cures and give them a try, using them consistently, that you, too, can be cured!! I wish you happy healing."Replies
06/30/2012: Tony from Church Hill, Tn, Usa replies: "Hello Cured from Chicago. I just bought some of this Wild Oregano Oil online today. I will be receiving it early next week. I read to do a combination of internal & external treatment with this oil. I also read that genital HSV-2 hides at the lower portion of the spine along the nerve pathways. Is there a specific location along the spine to rub the oil externally? I know where the lower spine is located but a particular lumbar(s) area?
I guess I can just rub a general area at the base of the lower spine to make sure it's covered. I'll start out at 3 drops twice daily internally & increase gradually to the 5 drops 3x daily. I've suffered from HSV-2 for over 17 years. This looks like a promising cure! However, I'm also going through a candida cleanse/protocol provided by Bill here at EC as well. Heck, maybe by the time I get this candida overgrowth under control the HSV-2 might just disappear as well but why wait?
Plus, the oil is also antifungal as well so it can only help with my candida problems too. I probably even have other viral infections I don't know about. Can HSV-2 spread to other parts of the body especially if you have a candida overgrowth? I think with all of my health problems I might even have EBV(Epstein-Barr Virus) even though I've not been diagnosed with it.
I'm sure I have other viral related concerns though. This oil will take care of a lot of my health issues. I bought enough for at least 2 months of treatment. Hopefully, I can get rid of this awful candida problem & take care of the HSV-2 and/or other viral overloads with my complete protocol for candida & now the Wild Oil of Oregano multiple cures. Thanks & God Bless!"
07/09/2012: Nate2912 from Gso, North Carolina replies: "Cured From Chicago from Chicago: States that shw is cured gh. I wanted to know if u were tested to see if its completely gone from ur body. I just started in the wild meditteranean oregano oil and hopefully I will get good results like u.. I have had the gh for about 9yrs and nothing seemed to work for me."
08/11/2012: Cured From Chicago from Chicago, Usa replies: "I have not been tested yet but I have had literally no symptoms since I have been taking the Wild Mediteranean Oil of Oregano consistently. I now take 7 drops, under the tongue, twice daily. Oh, and I use super strength Oil of Oregano. It has 3 times the potency. I plan to continue taking it for several months before getting tested to make sure the virus is completely disintegrated."

06/02/2012: Anon from New York: "Are there any updates on Ted's Zinc/Magnesium chloride solution for herpes treatment. (First posted in 2006). Can it be specified if this is an oral or topical treatment or both?"

09/24/2009: Chaste from Miami, Florida: "In Ted's remedy he suggest "5% concentration of Zinc Chloride and a 5% concentration of Magnesium Chloride." solution 4 times a day? Is this topical or should it be taken internally? Can someone please provide specific instructions?""
08/19/2009: Chad from Tampa, Fl: "Hi I have questions regarding Ted's Remedies. Where do you get the Zinc Acetate and Magnesium and also how do you make sure its only 5 % concentration levels? Any help is very much appreciated!
Tepeschoite Powder
[YEA] 06/14/2011: Crystal from San Diego, Ca: "I broke out for the first time with genital herpes about 3 months ago; diagnosed with hsv 1 and 2. I used a powder that I used before with burns. I popped the the blisters with a qtip and I used a qtip to apply the tepeschoite powder to the infected area; my blisters dried within 2 days. U can purchase this power at hispanic botanica or you can purchase it on-line. Do not buy the ointment cream, only the powder."
Topical Application of Vodka, Zinc
[YEA] 01/11/2009: C Johnnie from New York City, NY: "genital herpes: as per info I accessed on your site, i tried Vodka as a topical application and yes it worked! It stung a bit but dried up the lesions in 24-48 hrs AND I took zinc tablets orally which also has helped and may have some curative value/relief for some..."
Urine Therapy
[YEA] 11/01/2005: Abdoul from Libreville Gabon: "God created man with all its potentials to free it's self from all type of terrible disease. you might notice in my english i'm not so good in writing. but what i know in my brain is better than writing. just want to let those who've been suffering from genital herps know that the cure is in you and it's not up to MONEY LEVEL. it's just simple the UT. urine therapy. I've been suffering from this genital herps which i thought at one time to be untreatable for a good number of years. if i want to list out the different types of pharmaceutical intoxication drugs that i've spent my money in buying, then i need to open a website to contain all. right up to this great day when i read about Urine therapy and genital herps. i started it immediately and 4 days later the size became like a dot. every time i wanted to urinate, i simple urinate in a clean glass, then pour it on the herps that took me no franc but my determination to get rid of it. i've been doing this now for almost 2 yrs regarding the symptoms but the herps disappeared and never show any sign of returning again."Replies
03/29/2011: A from Chicago, Illinois/usa replies: "Have you gotten a PCR test done to see if the virus is still in your body? Have you had any outbreaks so far?"
Vitamin C
[YEA] 05/17/2009: Cesar from Panama: "I was diagnose with genital herpes around 1996, from that time I had to take medicine for that every 3 repetitions by year. In 2001 I started to take a daily dose of 500mg of Vit C, and after 9 years my genital herpes never returned. I continue taking Vit C without any side effects."Replies
07/26/2012: Bamkablam from Los Angeles, Ca replies: "For men who have genital herpes outbreaks I have developed a system for applying a small apple cider vinegar compress to the affected area on the penis. I go the 99 cent store and buy small condoms that are too small to use when having sex. However, they are the perfect tension to keep the apple cider vinegar compress (either cotton pad or viva paper towel) on the penis herpes in order to work its magic."

2007 Larkmead LMV Salon
Winemaker Notes
Alcohol 14.5%
100% Estate grown fruit produced and bottled at Larkmead Vineyards
62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot
Aged for 21 months in 70% new French oak barrels from Tonnelleries Demptos, Ermitage, & Sylvain
915 cases produced
"Deep ruby red/purple color. Beautifully fragrant nose of redcurrant and black cherry with fresh mint, violet and light balsamic background notes. Opens to blackcurrant, cocoa powder and graphite with a hint of bay leaf. Initially tight and youthful palate, with aeration pure cassis and kirsch flavors emerge with forest floor, wood smoke and tobacco side notes. Maintains great mineral freshness despite its natural concentration and power. Firm tannic backbone provides great aging potential.
A superb follow-up to its wonderful 2006 predecessor, our new LMV Salon release offers solid aging potential of fifteen to twenty years. This multi-dimensional wine provides a complete, complex and wholly integrated snapshot of our remarkable Estate property, such that once again it's the vineyard that dominates the aromas, flavors and structure of the wine and not its individual varietal components. Furthermore this release is strongly indicative of our preference to blend different grape varieties, clones, soil types and maturity levels to create something which is finer, more nuanced and with greater elegance than a straight varietal bottling. It's these characters that take this wine to the next level and is the reason why we love to compare and contrast this bottling to its Solari brother with its more dominant Cabernet component."
Robert Parker - 97 POINTS, Wine Advocate, 12-23-09, Issue 186
"A prodigious effort is the 2007 LMV Salon. A proprietary red of this quality with a Napa appellation usually sells for $200 or more. A dense purple color is followed by a beautiful perfume of spring flowers, ink, espresso roast, creme de cassis, and black cherries, a full-bodied, voluptuous texture, staggering depth and purity, and a 50-second finish. This exceptional Napa Cabernet Sauvignon should drink well for 20-25+ years."

Nice boots

Exactly what I was looking for
October 16, 2013
I was looking for a pair of flat over the knee boots so that I can replace the ones that I had now. I saw these and fell in love. I ordered them the same size that I usually shoes in, and although they feel a tiny bit snug, I think that they can stretch. I had a little surprise when I looked at the inside of the boots; they are lined with faux-fur (I think), so I know that will keep me warm in the winter. The boots fit snug all the way up to the knee, and it was something that I had to get used to (my old ones had a wider opening), they look very nice. I bought these thinking that it was completely flat, but in actuality it has a hidden wedge. That wasn't a dealbreaker though. The wedge is very small, less than 1.5 inches, and they are very well hidden. I forget there is a wedge. I bought these in Cognac and love the color, and the feel of the boot. I am about 5'7"-5'8" and boot covers my whole knee.
Cons:Not completely flat (hidden wedge)

diskA round plate on which data can be encoded. There are two basic types of disks: magnetic disks and optical disks.
On magnetic disks, data is encoded as microscopic magnetized needles on the disk's surface. You can record and erase data on a magnetic disk any number of times, just as you can with a cassette tape. Magnetic disks come in a number of different forms:
Optical disks record data by burning microscopic holes in the surface of the disk with a laser. To read the disk, another laser beam shines on the disk and detects the holes by changes in the reflection pattern.
Optical disks come in three basic forms:
The machine that spins a disk is called a disk drive. Within each disk drive is one or more heads (often called read/write heads) that actually read and write data.
Accessing data from a disk is not as fast as accessing data from main memory, but disks are much cheaper. And unlike RAM, disks hold on to data even when the computer is turned off. Consequently, disks are the storage medium of choice for most types of data. Another storage medium is magnetic tape. But tapes are used only for backup and archiving because they are sequential-access devices (to access data in the middle of a tape, the tape drive must pass through all the preceding data).
A new disk, called a blank disk, has no data on it. Before you can store data on a blank disk, however, you must format it

E Pa. ornithological society meetings supported Great Leader.NOTEMr Biden put in Wind turbines off 2 Delaware Bird Sanctuaries for shore birds and those flying from Cape Hatteras to Cape Henlopen, Del.Meanwhile the US govt is spending millions each year to ´save´ the whooping crane which has to evade these wind farms in the Midwest as they fly from Canada to Texas each year.Bring on Drilling!

The answer is of course to build stealth windmills.

This is the stupidest reasoning I have ever had the misfortune to read. What accuracy? Weather forecasting is the most inaccurate business I know of. As a resident of Oregon, we have a bunch of these windfarms in the eastern part of the state. Have never heard of any complaints about interference in predicting weather accurately.

MCC responds to Sandy's devastation in Haiti
Linda Espenshade
November 9, 2012
In late October flood waters flowed through tent camps, where people were still living after their homes crumpled in a 2010 earthquake. The Haitian government said Hurricane Sandy killed 54 people and caused an estimated $104 million loss to livestock, crops and infrastructure.
The impact of Hurricane Sandy, which compounded the effect of Hurricane Isaac in August, was especially destructive because 370,000 people are still living in tent camps since the 2010 earthquake, said Kristen Chege, a Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) worker from Eugene, Ore.
"Whole camps flooded as streams emerged between tents," she wrote in an Oct. 29 blog entry on undertentshaiti.com. "Shelters fell under the weight of sitting water, dirt floors turned to mud and precious possessions were ruined. Efforts to raise mattresses off the ground using cinder blocks and to string clothes from wires inside their tent made little difference as the rain poured in through holes in the tent or seeped in below the walls."
In response, MCC is distributing the relief kits, blankets and canned meat it had positioned in Haiti prior to hurricane season to 493 families, predominantly located in the southern part of the country. In addition, food rations will be purchased locally to supply those families for a five-week period.
The relief kits, which include soap, toothpaste, laundry detergent, towels and other hygiene supplies, are a base-line defense against cholera, which spreads through unclean water. The country especially is vulnerable because it doesn't have proper sanitation and sewage systems.
MCC Haiti will distribute the supplies through one of its long-term partners, Network for the Defense of Human Rights/Réseau National de Défense des Droits Humains, a human rights monitoring and education group.
Contributions to MCC's response in Haiti may be made at the nearest MCC office or online, donate.mcc.org. Gifts should be designated for Haiti Emergency Assistance. In addition, MCC welcomes contributions of relief kits and blankets to replenish its supplies. For more information, visit mcc.org/kits.
In addition to responding in Haiti, MCC also is exploring a response in Cuba, where more than 300,000 people have been evacuated, 200,000 homes damaged and 74,000 acres of crops destroyed.
MCC constituents in the U.S. wishing to support the domestic response to Sandy are encouraged to contact Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS), a sister agency that responds to disasters in Canada and the U.S. (mds.mennonite.net). Next week, an MCC East Coast partner, Kingdom Builders Construction in Philadelphia, is sending a work group through MDS to Oasis Christian Center in Staten Island, N.Y., a church located in the midst of significant destruction.
MCC constituents in the U.S. wishing to support domestic response to Sandy are encouraged to contact Mennonite Disaster Service.

I have no problem with Garrett. It's the j@ckass owner, presiden, and GM jerry.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said head coach Jason Garrett will return as the team's coach next year no matter how they finish this season, according to a report from Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Jones was asked if Garrett would be the team's head coach next season.
"Yes,'' Jones replied. "Yes.''
Garrett is in his fourth season with the team and has an overall record of 26-24, including 5-5 this season, which is second in the dismal NFC East. Dallas is a half game behind the Eagles for the division lead.
The Cowboys haven't made the playoffs in any of the years Garrett has been at the helm, and the team has just one playoff win in the last 17 years.
"It's not that for Jason,'' Jones said to the Dallas Morning News. "I'm disappointed we don't have a better record, but he has got us in position to win the division and got a team here I firmly believe has the ability to be one of the better playing teams at the end.
"We're positioned to get in the playoffs. We see logically how to get in the playoffs. We have that for all practical purposes in our control. Now, that's a pretty good spot to be in after 10 games.
"A lot of this story is to be played out. It does not have a bearing on whether or not he will be our coach next year. It has no bearing on that.''
I have no problem with Garrett. It's the j@ckass owner, presiden, and GM jerry.
Big surprise there; Garrett is that perfect sock puppet Jones has been seeking for over two decades.
Thanks Jerry for making sure the cowboys are a laughing stock, seriously appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
his team, he makes the decisions. the results provide all we to know about his football skills.
Cowgirls fans' dream:
Jerry cutting Romo, firing Garret, then stepping down permanently as GM.
Cowgirls haters' dream:
Stay the course Jerry!
NFC East Final Standings:
Eagles 10-6
Giants 9-7
Cowboys 7-9
Jerry Jones is like the NFL version of Barack Obama. And the Cowboys are his Obamacare. Totally amateur!
Jerry Jones reminds me of the executives that "run" the Seattle Mariners. Firing them would help the team. But what person is going to fire himself? Nobody,.
Because he one of the few coaches who will work for Jones. A good suck-up is hard to find!
return as "what?"
and Jerry Jones's Garrett-Top era continues.
If you ask me, these Cowboys are spiraling out of control as long as Jerry Jones is the owner of that team. He doesnt seem to care about football anymore. But you guys wanna see "America's betting system", visit sportsbettingstar . com.
Garrett will continue to be the coach until Nick Saban, Jon Gruden or some other high profile coach becomes available. Then...."see 'ya!" The problem there, of course, is that all the high profile coaches (and their agents) know Jerra's history with Tom Landry, Jimmie Johnson and Bill Parcells. Which leaves Jerra in the same situation that Al Davis was in after the Mike Shanahan and Jon Gruden debacles. No successful coach would touch that job and he had to re-hire Art Shell.
But wait! Lane Kiffin's available and Monte is already in place as DC. If not, Leon Lett's on the Cowboy's staff....
One more year of mediocrity. Keep up the good work Jerr. Counting on ya.
Doesn't matter if the ghost of Vince Lombardi is the coach, they'll never win anything with Jones as an owner.
This is what I think about what goes on with Jerry Jones.
Feel bad for Cowboys fans to be saddled with such a tool for an owner. JJ is the biggest narcissist in all of sports. The irony is his ego has kept him from being successful on the field. Those early Super Bowl wins were mostly with an inherited team. It's true he has made a lot of money for the Jones family, I guess at the end of the day it is just business.
Great another 6 and 10 season and no playoffs
The problem for the Cowboys is that Jerry Jones is returning. As long as he insists on being GM they will never be competitive, except perhaps, in the NFL east. And we all know how pitiful that division is.
The greatest trick Jerry Jones ever played was convincing the world he is an idiot.
@Matthew53 As a Dallas fan for the better pat of 35 years, the only one I want is Jones gone as GM. I still have faith in Romo, and I believe Jason Garrett to be one of the better coaches in the league. He just needs more time at the helm to hone his craft as a coach. Something that is hard in this day and age of now, now, now mentality. Landry is looked at as one of the best coaches in league history and he didn't win at all for the first 5-6 years he was coach.
@beast That doesn't even make sense
@MickHayes You're right. Jerry is a tool and Cowboy fans, myself included, had better get used to the idea that we are now part of that sad-sack group of franchises like the Bengals, Cardinals, and other perennial also-rans.
That said, the early SB wins were most definitely NOT the result of an inherited team. They were the result of Jimmy Johnson's personnel acumen. The team Jones inherited from previous owner Bum Bright had many starting players that other teams didn't even want as backups after their release. Tom Landry's last half decade was crippled by poor personnel decisions out of his control. Hmmm. Sounds familiar...
@sunalsorises I'm not sure I get this comment but I will say if it is a trick, it is a convincing one.
@ArnoldNewman @sunalsorises Basically, Jerry Jones is an idiot and is isn't fooling anyone.

The new gear features what is almost certainly the most advanced beam splitter in the business, and one the company expects most major Hollywood 3D film projects -- as well as live concert films, 3D TV projects, and others -- to be using in the near future.
With the Helix, everything is robotically controlled, including its operating lenses. It mounts two cameras -- one facing down, another shooting through -- a configuration known as over-and-through. And though 3ality's previous rigs have also offered that configuration, none have offered filmmakers the level of automation that the Helix does.
Here, we see the Helix configured for a 3D shot with a fair amount of depth, because of the distance between the two lenses.

Export Express Loan Program
SBA Export Express offers financing up to $500,000. It is the simplest export loan product offered by the SBA and allows participating lenders to use their own forms and procedures. The SBA determines eligibility and provides a loan approval in 36 hours or less.
Any business that has been in operation, although not necessarily in exporting, for at least 12 full months and can demonstrate that the loan proceeds will support its export activity is eligible for Export Express. The 12-month in business requirement can be waived if the borrower's key personnel can demonstrate export expertise and successful previous business experience and the lender uses conventional commercial loan underwriting procedures and does not rely solely on credit scoring.
Use of Proceeds
Loan proceeds may be used for business purposes that will enhance a company's export development. Export Express can take the form of a term loan or a revolving line of credit. For example, you can use funds to participate in a foreign trade show, support standby letters of credit and translate product literature for use in foreign markets. You may also use funds to finance specific export orders, expand production facilities, and purchase equipment inventory or real estate.
Application Process
Contact your existing lender to determine if they are an SBA Export Express lender. You apply directly to the lender with their application material and SBA's Borrower Information Form. Lenders approve the request and then submit eligibility information to SBA.
Contact your local U.S. Export Assistance Center to learn more about the Export Express Program and whether your business qualifies.

Ive tried everything i can think of but my edge still wont connect. ive searched and have found a few people with similar problems, but they all seem to have just been forgeting to put in their settings. i have t-mobile and have internet2.voicestream.com in my edge settings nothing happens but when i put in wap.voicestream.com i can get my mail. but safari doesnt work.
ive restored to 1.1.1 over 6 times, and now ive restored to 1.1.2 hoping that might help, but still the same issue. i really have no idea what to do now. anyone know how to fix this?

"People are our most important asset." How many times have you heard that? More important, how many times, upon hearing it, have you nodded politely and then changed the subject to something more, ah, important?
Human resources receives far more lip service than respect, but it may be about to get its due. Web-based technologies, the sour economy, and other factors are making HR the subject of some truly substantive executive discussions — and expenditures. To date, much of the activity has centered on automating administrative duties, mostly such mundane activities as handling pay, benefits, and retirement plans. These systems have dramatically reduced HR costs — for some processes by as much as 80 percent. They also offer solid ROIs that can keep even the sternest CFO smiling.
But a new generation of HR automation, sometimes going under the umbrella of E-HR, wants to transform HR from a lowly cost center to a strategic, mission-critical part of the business. "It's time to treat your human capital as an asset class," says Paul Schaut, president and CEO of Performaworks, in Burlington, Massachusetts, one of this new breed of HR-software vendors. "Executives of large organizations talk about people as their most important assets. It's time to live up to that statement."
While much of the current activity in HR automation is driven by a wish to cut costs, some financial executives say there's more to it than that. "We look at ROI, but sometimes it may make sense to simply break even for the intangible, soft benefits," says Renée Hornbaker, CFO and a vice president of Irving, Texas-based Flowserve, a $2 billion producer of industrial pumps, valves, and seals that is constructing an advanced E-HR system.
If that sounds more like a nice-to-have than a need-to-have, consider several trends that will make HR the subject of more executive scrutiny. Demographic changes loom large: the oldest of the baby boomers will begin to retire en masse in just 8 years, leading to a decided graying of the workforce. Over the next 17 years, the number of U.S. workers age 55 or older will grow by about 80 percent, to more than 33 million, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the ailing stock market could keep older people working longer; a recent Gallup poll found that nearly half of all working adults plan to delay retirement because of declines in the value of their 401(k) and other stock-related retirement plans.
A Changing Workforce
Also factor in fundamental changes to the ways people work and, as a result, the ways in which companies administer HR. Among these shifts are the emergence of far-flung "virtual" teams; the growing number of people who work from home; the increased use of consultants, contractors, part-timers, temps, and other nonsalaried workers; all those wireless road warriors taking up the best seats in your local airport lounge; and the emergence of what Diane Morello, a vice president and research director at Gartner, calls deployees — people who work in multiple roles on multiple projects with multiple teams. In fact, Morello reports, more than 90 percent of attendees at a recent Gartner event say they spend more than half their time on collaborative work. "However," she says, "evaluation and compensation programs are woefully behind in reflecting the changing work patterns."

The province is best known for the large reservoir which runs through its centre, and which was formed by the damming of the Song Da river. The river strikes to the northwest of Hoa Binh, well into Lai Chau province. Dammed for hydro-electric purposes, almost 200 workers died during its construction and there's a monument to their memory at the dam site.

Cassidian's combat identification systems well-proven in US exercise "Bold Quest'13"
Munich, 02 August 2013
- Future NATO Mode 5 standard ready for deployment
- Aircraft identification indispensable to avoid friendly fire
Cassidian, the defence division of EADS, has proven the advanced status of its identification systems during the "Bold Quest '13" exercise, a Coalition Capability Demonstration hosted by the U.S. Armed Forces. The exercise involved aircraft, ships and ground stations from five NATO nations aiming at testing and improving "identification-friend-or-foe" (IFF) equipment which is indispensable for avoiding casualties from fratricide.
"Reliably distinguishing hostile from friendly aircraft is a question of life or death in multinational operations," explains Elmar Compans, Head of Cassidian Sensors & Electronic Warfare. "In order to protect the lives of our soldiers, we are ready to provide our armed forces with all the advantages of the future NATO Mode 5 standards already today."
Cassidian supported the German forces in the BQ'13 exercise held mainly in North Carolina/USA with equipment from the whole IFF action chain: MSSR2000I (http://www.cassidian.com/en_US/web/guest/mssr-2000i5) interrogators in ground stations, LTR400 transponders (http://www.cassidian.com/en_US/web/guest/ltr-400) employed in a German Luftwaffe C160 "Transall" mission aircraft and the latest QRTK3/4NG cryptographic computers. This equipment proved highly successfully its interoperability with employed allied IFF Mode 4 and 5 equipment. This demonstrated successfully the proper employment of the next-generation IFF standard Mode 5, which is to be introduced in NATO forces from 2014.
IFF procedures are employed in military missions according to standardized question-and-answer signals in order to quickly recognize friendly incoming aircraft and to alleviate the commander's decision whether to engage the aircraft or not. Different from hitherto utilized systems, Cassidian's IFF products employ highly sophisticated encryption techniques to avoid hostile signal manipulation.
Cassidian has delivered IFF systems (http://www.cassidian.com/en_US/web/guest/iff) to several NATO nations for ground, naval and air applications. Amongst others, the long range interrogator MSSR 2000 I protects all German Navy ships as well as UK Royal Navy ships and the French Navy's BPC command ships. It is also employed in all long range air defence radars of Germany and the UK. In Germany, Cassidian has established the air traffic control network of the German Luftwaffe covering an airspace of 1,700 x 1,500 km. In total, Cassidian has more than 370 systems in approx. 30 nations under contract, including in the U.S.
"Bold Quest" (http://www.defense.gov/News/NewsArticle.aspx?ID=116757) is held by the U.S. forces since ten years. Its purpose is to test U.S. and allied combat identification systems in realistic scenarios reflecting current operations. In 2014, NATO is planning to introduce the new Mode 5 IFF standard capitalizing on new technologies which allow for the exchange of more precise identification data and robustness against hostile interference.
About CASSIDIAN
Cassidian, the defence division of EADS, is a worldwide leader in defence and security solutions. The company delivers advanced defence systems along the whole action chain from sensors through command & control systems to combat aircraft and unmanned air systems. In the area of security, Cassidian provides customers worldwide with border surveillance systems, cyber security solutions and secure communications.

TAG Honors Judith Light with Research in Action Award Tonight
Treatment Action Group (TAG), one of the world's leading AIDS research advocacy organizations, will host its 16th annual Research in Action Awards (RIAA), honoring individuals who have made a significant contribution to AIDS research and activism. 2012 also marks TAG's 20th anniversary.
The 2012 Research in Action Awards will take place at 6:00 p.m., tonight, December 9, 2012, at 404NYC (404 10th Avenue). Jenna Wolfe of NBC's Weekend TODAY will once again serve as the evening's emcee. The evening's co-chairs include TAG cofounder, and founder of AIDSmeds.com, Peter Staley, and executive producer of the recent documentary How to Survive a Plague, Joy Tomchin.
TAG is proud to present its 2012 Research in Action Awards to Actress and Humanitarian Judith Light, with Scott Campbell, Executive Director of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, presenting Ms. Light with her award; Dr. Paul Farmer, a cofounder of Partners In Health and chairman of Harvard Medical School's Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, with Chelsea Clinton presenting Dr. Farmer with his award; Dr. Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, the virologist who discovered the HIV virus, and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Medicine, with Executive Director of TAG Mark Harrington presenting Dr. Barré-Sinoussi's award; and Jon Cohen, HIV/AIDS journalist for Science magazine and author of Shots in the Dark: The Wayward Search for an AIDS Vaccine. Pulitzer Prize–winner Mark Schoofs will present Mr. Cohen his much-deserved award.
"This year TAG honors four heroes of the epidemic who have made scientific breakthroughs, provided revolutionary health care for the world's poorest and most marginalized people, lit up Hollywood and Broadway with their artistic talent, and shone the bright light of journalism on the past quarter-century of struggle against HIV.
"We would be nowhere in this struggle had not Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, then a bright young virologist at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, quickly discovered HIV in 1982, just a year after the CDC announced the advent of AIDS. For this work, Dr. Barré-Sinoussi was justly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2008. She now leads the global research effort to find a cure for AIDS as President of the International AIDS Society (IAS).
"Paul Farmer, M.D., Ph.D., and his colleagues at Partners In Health (PIH) has pioneered high-quality treatment of HIV and drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) for some of the world's most poor and marginalized people in Haiti, Lesotho, Russia, Rwanda, and elsewhere, raising the bar for governments and public health providers worldwide while infusing activism and human rights into everything they do.
"Accomplished actress Judith Light has electrified Broadway and Hollywood in many productions, while working tirelessly for the rights, health, and lives of people with HIV, lesbians, gay men, and transgendered people. Journalist Jon Cohen has doggedly covered the AIDS pandemic in Science magazine for a quarter century, traveling the world to live with homeless people, drug users, sex workers, gay men, drag queens, and people living with, struggling against, and surviving HIV, poverty, drug use, and social exclusion. His science coverage is as deep and broad as his compassion, and this combination has made him the world's most crucial AIDS reporter for 25 years. TAG is proud to salute these outstanding heroes in our common fight to end AIDS.
"TAG is also thrilled that NBC news reporter Chelsea Clinton will be presenting the Research in Action Award to Paul Farmer. Ms. Clinton is a dedicated global health activist, and her presence will remind the AIDS community of the vital contributions her family has made, and continues to make, to ending the AIDS crisis and providing high-quality health care to everyone," said Mark Harrington, TAG's executive director.
Acclaimed artist Robert Gober has generously donated a limited-edition of 20 woodblock prints, created especially for TAG, which are available to qualifying sponsors of the 2012 RIAA Awards.
Founded in 1992, Treatment Action Group fights to ensure that all people living with HIV receive the treatment, care, and information they need to save their lives.

As an institution of higher education, Marywood University brings together a faculty, administration, and governing board united in a common bond of academic purpose. Essential to the fulfillment of this purpose is a mutual recognition of institutional integrity and individual human rights, along with an understanding of the respective roles of the several entities which constitute this educational organization.
Circumstances may arise at times, however, wherein a grievant--full-time, part-time, or pro-rata--may question decisions which affect his/her professional role in the institution. To assist in the resolution of these matters, a series of guidelines for grievances is herein set forth.
Grievance: A grievance refers to any disagreement between two parties. A grievance identifies a complaint one party has against another party for some alleged wrongful action on the part of the second party.
Grievant: A Grievant initiates a grievance.
Types of Issues That Can Be Grieved
It is understood that procedural rather than substantive factors provide appropriate areas of review, and the Faculty Grievance Committee will not attempt to substitute its judgment for that of the decision-maker(s) involved in the case.
Thus, the Faculty Grievance Committee will hear grievances concerning:
1) Allegations of violation of academic freedom resulting in: denial of tenure, promotion, or sabbatical leave; non-reappointment.
2) Allegations of impermissible discrimination. Tenured and non-tenured faculty are protected against illegal or unconstitutional discrimination, or on any basis not relevant to job performance, and includes, but is not limited to, race, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation
3) Allegations of inadequate consideration resulting in: denial of tenure, promotion, or sabbatical leave; non-reappointment; or termination of employment due to retrenchment.
4) Allegations of violations of procedures used in rendering decisions in numbers 1 and 2 above as set forth in Chapter 2 of the Faculty Handbook.
Procedures regarding dismissal, suspension, and sanctions of faculty members are in the Progressive Discipline policy.
Should a grievant allege cause for grievance in any matter not identified in the above guidelines, the grievant may consult the Faculty Grievance Committee. In such circumstances, the Committee's first decision is whether the complaint is appropriate and sufficiently serious to merit consideration.
Persons Against Whom Grievances May be Directed
Fundamentally, a grievance may arise from an allegation of improper implementation of a procedure or process leading to a decision. The person(s) or body who perform(s) that procedure or process is (are) the subject(s) of the grievance. Thus, a grievant may direct a grievance against the person(s) or body responsible for the decision identified herein.
The decisions or actions of the Faculty Grievance Committee or Ad Hoc Hearing Committee may not themselves be grieved.
Informal Procedure
1) A member of the faculty must initially discuss a complaint with the person or body responsible for the action to which the grievant takes exception in order to determine if a resolution is possible.
2) A complaint must be presented within (10) calendar days of the occurrence or discovery of the alleged violation.
3) No grievance may be filed without the initiation of this informal complaint procedure.
4) If the grievance still exists after step one the grievant initiates a consultation with the Vice President for Academic Affairs in order to try to resolve the matter.
Formal Procedure for Filing a Grievance
1) The Faculty Grievance Committee is convened.
Faculty Grievance Committee
The Faculty Grievance Committee consisting of three tenured faculty members and two alternates (also tenured) is specifically charged with responsibility for resolving matters of grievance and appeal. The Faculty Senate conducts the election of this committee. Faculty currently serving on the Rank and Tenure Committee or the Faculty Development Committee are not eligible for election to this committee.
The term of each member extends for three years, with one person replaced each year. An alternate will be identified at each election. Any member of the Grievance Committee who has had any prior involvement in a case under consideration must recuse him/herself. The Grievance Committee shall annually elect a chair-elect who will succeed the Chair.
Grievance Process
The grievant may consult the President of Faculty Senate for assistance in contacting the Faculty Grievance Committee Chair. The Chair should be provided with a written statement setting forth, in detail, the nature of the grievance or appeal and identifying the person(s) or body against whom the grievance or appeal is directed; this document may also include a proposal for resolving the issue. A grievance must be filed within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence or discovery of the alleged violation but not fewer than five (5) calendar days after the initiation of the informal complaint.
In considering the grievance or appeal, the Faculty Grievance Committee will take the following steps:
1) The Committee notifies the decision maker(s) that a grievance has been filed.
2) The Grievance Committee requests from the grievant written information regarding the issues. The Grievance Committee also requests from the decision maker(s) written statements describing the basis for the decision being appealed or grieved, as well as any attempts to settle the matter informally. This information shall be held in confidence by the Grievance Committee. At this point in the process, the information gathered is solely for review by the Committee and is not to be shared with either party involved.
3) At any point, the Grievance Committee may request additional information in writing from the grievant and from the decision-maker(s).
4) If after completing the above steps, the Committee determines that the grievance is improper or unsubstantial, or that sufficient time had not yet been allowed for its normal resolution, or that there is no evidence of improper action on the part of the decision maker(s) which would constitute a legitimate grievance, the Committee will communicate this determination to the grievant and the decision maker(s).
5) If the Grievance Committee determines that there was inadequate consideration or violation of procedures (see No. 3 and 4 under Types of Issues Which Can Be Grieved above), the Committee will return the case to the decision maker for reconsideration.
6) If the grievance is deemed appropriate for mediation, the Chair will appoint a Mediator from the University. The Mediator does not represent either party. Any party may object to the Mediator on the grounds of actual or apparent bias or conflict of interest and submit such objections to the Chair in writing. The Chair will review the objections and may replace the mediator.
7) The Offices of the Vice President for Academic Affairs or Human Resources may be consulted by the Mediator on mediation procedure or other matters involved in the grievance.
8) The Mediator shall try to resolve the grievance within thirty (30) calendar days of formal submission to the chair. With the consent of both parties, the period of mediation may be extended for a short period of time. If the grievance is not resolved within the thirty (30) calendar days, the mediator will advise the chair of the committee in writing that that the issue has not been resolved. If a mutually accepted agreement is reached, this will be communicated to the chair of the committee.
9) Grievances not appropriate for mediation or grievances not resolved through mediation shall be referred to the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee. All evidence collected will be passed on to the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee.
10) If the Faculty Grievance Committee recommends a formal hearing, in cases of violation of academic freedom or impermissible discrimination, an Ad Hoc Hearing Committee will be created to conduct a formal investigation and to arrive at a recommendation for resolving the issue.
11) The Grievance Committee will make a summary report of its activities at the end of each academic year to the Faculty Senate. No details relevant to the privacy of the participants in any cases will be included in this report.
Ad Hoc Hearing Committee
The Ad Hoc Hearing Committee shall consist of three members, selected by the Faculty Senate Executive Council, from a standing committee of fifteen tenured Faculty Members elected for one-year terms by the faculty at large. The Faculty Senate conducts the election of this committee.
Each party shall have two challenges without stated cause regarding membership of the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee. No member of the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee shall have had any prior involvement in the case.
If the three-person Ad Hoc Hearing Committee cannot be chosen from the fifteen members of the standing committee, the Executive Council of the Faculty Senate is empowered to conduct a special election to obtain fifteen additional members with terms of one year.
The Ad Hoc Hearing Committee must select a chairperson.
Ad Hoc Hearing Procedures
1) The Ad Hoc Hearing Committee is empowered to gather information and documents specific to the case of the Grievant, conduct interviews, hold a hearing and take actions as are necessary to investigate the grievance to the extent that the law and University policy permit. The Ad Hoc Hearing Committee will provide recommendations in writing forty (40) calendar days from the date of its official appointment.
2) All Hearings are closed to anyone other than the parties and their advisors, members of the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee, and any witnesses invited to testify by the Committee. The hearing may be audio or video recorded and a written record will be maintained. The hearing is not a legal proceeding. At the beginning of the hearing, all procedures will be made known to the parties, and all information will be kept confidential.
3) Each party to the grievance may have one advisor during the hearing. The advisor may not participate in the hearing.
4) Strict rules of legal evidence will not be binding upon the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee and evidence of probative value in defining issues may be admitted.
5) The hearing record will be used exclusively as the basis for findings of fact and for arriving at a decision.
6) Upon reaching a decision on the issue and a recommendation for action, the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee will provide a summary written report to the petitioner, the person(s) named in the grievance, and the appropriate administrative officer and the President.
7) After receiving the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee, the appropriate administrative officer will review the recommendation and notify the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee and petitioner whether the recommendation has been accepted. If the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee is not accepted by the appropriate administrative officer, the administrative officer will review it with the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee.
8) No details relevant to the privacy of the participants in the case will be included in the notice from the Hearing Committee. Public statements and publicity about the case by the participants will be avoided until the proceedings have been completed, including consideration by the President
Action by the President of the University
Following the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Hearing Committee, should the petitioner desire further consideration of the issue beyond the immediate administrative channels of the University, the President may be requested, within twenty calendar days, to review the case.
This review will be based on the record from the committee hearing and may provide opportunity for argument, oral or written, or both, by the principals. Then the President will then make the final decision.
Responsibility for Expenses Incurred in Grievance and Appeal
Expenses incurred by the grievant are the responsibility of the individual. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Cost of an advisor.
Travel expenses for advisor, witnesses, or others engaged by petitioner.
Cost of preparing any documents and copies thereof.
Withdrawal of a Grievance
The grievance can be withdrawn at any point in the process.

I've been reviewing Game Factory's titles for a while, and I've learned that they're known for licensed work and a few original games here and there. I like that Game Factory works with German developer Shinen, because regardless of what game they make, I always know Shinen will do a good job and put some honest quality into their work. Shinen made a Garfield platformer and a Pet Alien puzzler addictive—that's hard to do. Their most recent project for Game Factory is a set of two puzzle games: Zenses Ocean and Rainforest. I played around with Ocean first, and came away from it pleasantly refreshed.
Both Zenses games are purely casual fare—there is nothing to unlock, no emphasis on beating high scores and all of the games are simple, time-tested puzzles. The only input method is the stylus, and while there are a few "challenges" to achieve for each puzzle, they're only fluff and don't unlock anything. The tagline of the Zenses series is "puzzles to unwind the mind," and Game Factory isn't kidding; the whole point is to relax and keep your brain occupied with something that is interesting but not too hard.
The graphics and music in Ocean follow a soothing coral reef theme. Crashing waves, bubbles and rushing sand make up most of the sound effects. The visuals make it look like every game is played near or under a placid shoreline, and Shinen's expert skill at harnessing the DS's graphical horsepower is evident even in this casual puzzle game.
Ocean has six puzzles to choose from, all available from the start. The first is Zen-stones, a simple stone matching game. Find two stones adjacent to each other, and tap them both to eliminate them. When no matching adjacent stones are left the game is over.
Pearl Diver is a bit trickier. It gives you a field of multicolored pearls scattered in a random pattern, and a set number of turns to eliminate the pearls. You can remove a pearl by tapping it, but you can remove multiple pearls of the same color in a single turn by connecting up to three in a triangle formation. If you manage to make a triangle that encloses one or more pearls you can earn extra turns.
In Turtle Turn you must flip over sets of turtle shells to match a pattern given on the top screen. There is a time limit for this puzzle but it's so generous that it's barely noticeable. Next comes Hot Spot, which consists of a series of luminescent sea creatures which you must assemble from floating parts. The time limit is a bit more stringent on this one, and the glowing fish are another example of how Shinen pushes the DS.
Shell twirl requires that you fill in concentric rings of shell outlines with the appropriate shells, picking from two stacks. Combos are awarded based on matching the same kinds of shells in a row, and the time limit here is the most severe; this is the only game that approaches a hectic pace.
Wave Breaker is a pattern memorization game. Waves roll over a beach and cover a set number of shells with sand, in addition to creating several empty sand piles. The object is to find specific shells without running out of tries.
Most of these games can be found in any casual puzzle collection, probably going all the way back to Windows Entertainment Pack. Shinen's uncommon quality is what sets the Zenses series apart from other puzzle collections. The calming visuals and music really did help me unwind after a hard day at work, and the lack of competitive elements kept the games from getting frustrating. That said, I have to take value into account when I score a game. Both Zenses titles only include six puzzle games, and both titles cost $30. High production values or not, $30 is a lot to ask for six puzzles, and $60 is way too much for both games. If each game were $20 that would be more reasonable, so I recommend that you rent the Zenses games first or wait until the price comes down. If the price were lower, I could have given Zenses Ocean a higher grade. Still, the package you are getting is remarkably high quality for its genre, so if you want a few puzzles to help you relax, Zenses has you covered.

Zenses Ocean delivers six solid puzzle games wrapped in a soothing, high-quality presentation. The game is a bit pricey for what you're getting, though.

Fibrocystic breast changes is a commonly used phrase to describe painful, lumpy breasts.
Fibrocystic breast disease; Mammary dysplasia; Diffuse cystic mastopathy; Benign breast disease; Glandular breast changes
The exact cause is not known. It is believed that hormones made in the ovaries can make a woman's breasts feel swollen, lumpy, or painful before or during menstruation each month.
Up to half of women have this problem at some time during their life. It is most common between the ages of 20 and 45. It is rare in women after menopause, unless they are taking estrogen.
Some women feel that eating chocolate, drinking caffeine, or eating high-fat foods cause their symptoms. But there is no clear proof of this.
Symptoms usually get better after you go through menopause. If you take birth control pills, you may have fewer symptoms. If you are on hormone therapy, you may have more symptoms.
Symptoms are usually worse right before your menstrual period and improve after your period starts.
Symptoms can include:
You may have a lump in the same area of the breast that becomes larger before each period and shrinks afterward. This type of lump moves when it is pushed with your fingers. It does not feel stuck or fixed to the tissue around it. This lump is common with fibrocystic breasts.
You may have discharge from the nipple. If the discharge is clear, red, or bloody, talk to your health care provider right away.
Your health care provider will examine you. This will include a breast exam.Tell your doctor or nurse if you have noticed any breast changes.
If you are over 40, ask you doctor or nurse how often you should have a mammogram
to screen for breast cancer. For women under 35, a breast ultrasound
may be used to look more closely at breast tissue.
You may need further tests if a lump was found during a breast exam or your mammogram result was abnormal. Another mammogram and breast ultrasound may be done.
Women who have no symptoms or only mild symptoms do not need treatment.
Your health care provider may recommend the following self-care measures:
Some women believe that eating less fat, caffeine, or chocolate helps with their symptoms. But there is no good evidence that these measures help.
Vitamin E, thiamine, magnesium, and evening primrose oil are not harmful in most cases. But studies have not shown these to be helpful. Before taking any medicine or supplement, talk with your health care provider.
For more severe symptoms, your health care provider may prescribe hormones, such as birth control pills or other medicine. Take the medicine exactly as instructed. Be sure to let your provider know if you have side effects from the medicine.
Surgery is never done to treat this condition.
If your breast exams and mammograms are normal, you do not need to worry about your symptoms. Fibrocystic breast changes do not increase your risk of breast cancer. Symptoms usually improve after menopause.

"I used this card as a joint christmas card and birth announcement and it was perfect! I included birth announcement on the front of the card and than a christmas greeting on the back. The card is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for."
"Everyone in my family absolutely loved receiving this birth announcement. It is such a sweet design, the paper is obviously high quality and the printing was flawless. My mother-in-law loved it so much, she asked for a few more copies to hand out.....I had to order more :)"
"So sweet! Announcements turned out beautifully. The colors in person are even better than on screen. Very sweet and simple. We used the "vintage" effect offered on our photo and it seemed to enhance the style of the whole announcement. Also shipping arrived faster than on conf receipt! Whole experience was five stars!"
"This is a beautiful card to announce our daughter's birth. All our friends and family loved them. Would have liked to have white as a text color for the details and to have the option of "she's arrived" on the back no matter what color is chosen on the back."
"The card is just lovely! I got the matte paper and had it cut with rounded edges. Talking to a customer service rep about the image was also incredibly helpful. Great company, excellent product, outstanding customer service. Order the card! (mine arrived DAYS before I expected it to)"

A diamond wheel with a small grinder or a tile bit in a Roto-Zip.
Hi - thank you in advance for any advice....
I am replacing an existing built in soap dish with a new soap dish. The soap dish is built into the wall.....
- need to grind or cut existing ceramic tile about a half inch...what is the best way -
Thanks again.
A diamond wheel with a small grinder or a tile bit in a Roto-Zip.
Agree with the above. In addition, there is a diamond wheel available for the RotoZip which is good for this application.
Depending on the tile, the RotoZip tile bit (the carbide one) may not cut the tile. If it is fairly soft wall tile, yes, but many times a harder tile is used in showers - if so, the diamonds are your friend. Wear eye protection and a dust mask.
Jim DeBruycker
Important note - I'm not a pro

Another suggestion would be to have someone hold a shopvac hose close to your grinding. Sure will reduce greatly the mess they can make.

Angel's PK's Boost Saints Over SCAD in Final Exhibition
Contact: Joey Daniels, firstname.lastname@example.com
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia Saints men's soccer team used two penalty kick goals, one coming in the 90th minute, to down SCAD in their last exhibition tune-up before the regular season.
Max Angel scored his first penalty kick in the 37th minute when a penalty was called on SCAD for throwing down Ben Tayi in the box. Angel stepped up calmly and drilled the ball into the back of the net going left side. The goal also leveled the score at 1-1 as SCAD was able to get a goal first coming in the 16th minute.
The opportunities came more for both teams in the second half as there were 12 total shots taken collectively, seven more than were shot in the first half. The Saints finally cashed in coming in the 90th minute following a rebound shot on goal. A handball was called on SCAD in the box, allowing Angel to step up yet again.
Angel decided that if it's not broke don't fix it, as he again drilled the ball into the left side of the net boosting the Saints passed and onto the victory, 2-1.
Kristopher Alonzo played the entire second half in goal for the Saints, recording three key saves.
After finishing with a win and a draw in preseason play, Pat Parris and the Saints now will prepare for a tough road trip to south Florida. The team will open the regular season next Friday, September 2 as they will travel to Nova Southeastern; game time is 7:00 pm. They then have a quick turnaround playing at Barry University in Miami Sunday afternoon.
You can follow the Saints live on SaintsSports.com next weekend for live stats.
