Emilie Richards began her writing career with a baby on her lap. Emilie, who has a master's degree in family development, finds family interaction fascinating and through the years, in many different ways, her four children have shown up in her books.
Emilie's daughter, who was adopted from India, emerged from a plane at age six, and was an instant addition to the family. Since then, Emilie has written several books about the trials and tribulations of adoption, as well as its myriad rewards. Wayward teenage boys have walked through Emilie's books, just the way they seem to walk through her life. The boys always turn out well and luckily her own have, too.
A long love affair with Emilie's minister husband convinced her that ministers can be heroes, too. Dragonslayer, a Silhouette Intimate Moments and RITA Award winner resulted from that realization. Endless Chain, the second book in her Shenandoah Album series for MIRA Books, did, as well.
Through the years and through the writing of more than 50 books the family has moved from state to state and traveled extensively. And each place deserved and got at least one story. Emilie's most recent move to Northern Virginia (and her love of quilting) provided the fodder most recently for the Shenandoah Album series, beginning with Wedding Ring in 2004 and continuing in Endless Chain, which debuts in 2005.
Emilie believes there are stories everywhere. Frustrations abound for a novelist, just like in any other profession, but at the end of the day, when a story is finally beginning to unfold, she still thinks she's one of the luckiest people in the world.

DENVER (AP) -- Gov. John Hickenlooper is still considering whether to back a ballot measure this fall seeking a $1 billion tax increase to pay for a new system for administering state education funds.
Hickenlooper says it would be unwise to put more money into the school system unless the structure is changed.
According to the Denver Post, voters will consider a tax increase in November, but the specifics of the plan haven't been released.

Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $60.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.00. If an investor was to purchase shares of TRN stock at the current price level of $55.48/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $60.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 9.95% if the stock gets called away at the February 2014 expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if TRN shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Trinity Industries, Inc., as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing TRN's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $60.00 strike highlighted in red:

If Homaidan Al-Turki — a sexual predator who kept a young Indonesian woman in servitude for 4½ years in Aurora — is transferred from the Colorado Department of Corrections to Saudi Arabia, he will almost certainly soon go free.
The Saudi government has never accepted Al-Turki's guilt. It gave him the money to post bail, complained about the 2006 trial, and pestered the State Department until it sent state Attorney General John Suthers abroad to smooth King Abdullah's ruffled feathers.
The Saudis' attorneys later filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court claiming Al-Turki was victim of an anti-Muslim trial and jury.
Al-Turki may not receive quite the hero's welcome rolled out for Pan Am terrorist Abdel Baset al-Meghahi when he returned to Libya from a Scottish prison in 2009, but as an alleged victim of bigoted U.S. justice, he is sure to be greeted with widespread sympathy.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and Corrections chief Tom Clements can avert this travesty. They can deny Al-Turki's petition to be transferred to Saudi Arabia under the terms of the Inter-American Convention on Serving Criminal Sentences Abroad. They can stand up for the principle of equality before the law.
"This would be a miscarriage of justice if it were to take place," says George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District that includes Arapahoe County. "It doesn't make sense that we're going to cut a guy loose to go back to a country that doesn't view this as a crime and doesn't view our evidence as good enough."
Brauchler wasn't DA when Al-Turki was convicted, but the chief deputy who prosecuted the case, Ann Tomsic, remembers the victim well.
"I'm primarily a homicide prosecutor," Tomsic told me. "Most of my crimes take place as fast as you can pull a trigger and as fast as someone can run. ... The thing that is overwhelmingly different about human trafficking is that this man had possession, ownership, of this young woman for years. And day after day, week after week, month after month, he continued his abuse ... keeping this woman against her will when she's asking to go home. And not paying her.
"Think of someone living in the United States during the period she was here and having no idea of current events. She was in the basement of the Al-Turki home when 9/11 happened. She'd never heard of it. ... That's how isolated she was."
The victim — a sexually and socially naïve 18-year-old when she arrived in Colorado with Al-Turki's family in 2000 — slept next to the water heater in the upper-middle-class home, where she was sexually assaulted again and again. "Her day would start literally before sunrise and she'd be up until midnight finishing the laundry after she got the kids to bed," Tomsic said. "She worked seven days a week. She didn't have weekends off or vacation." She received medical care once, for an abscessed tooth. And she was intimidated by repeated threats of what would happen if she bolted to local authorities.
By the time prosecutors interviewed her, "she was just a shutdown person," Tomsic says. "Federal authorities recognized pretty quickly that she was probably a human trafficking victim, so ... she was taken to a battered women's shelter. Even women in the shelter would talk about how she was afraid to go into a secure courtyard. She was so subservient after 4½ years of being a slave that she would do the other women's chores."
Al-Turki was convicted of 12 counts of unlawful sexual contact, criminal extortion, theft of services and false imprisonment, and was sentenced to 20 years to life for each of the sex charges alone. But then, with his high-priced legal team exploiting every angle, things started going his way.
Two years ago, a judge reduced Al-Turki's sentence to eight years to life, making him eligible for parole — in part because of a glowing letter of support by former prison chief Ari Zavaras, who claimed Al-Turki had "devoted himself to helping others." And although Al-Turki was denied parole that year, just two weeks later Saudi Arabia ratified the very treaty under which Al-Turki is now seeking a transfer.
Finally, just last month corrections officials confirmed that he has cleared initial administrative hurdles to be transferred, with the final decision pending.
The governor's spokesman tells me Hickenlooper is not involved in the Al-Turki decision, so it will be Clements' call — which, if it's a green light, will then require a Justice Department sign-off. Fortunately, the local U.S. attorney, John Walsh, has voiced opposition to the transfer, but that doesn't guarantee his boss in Washington will agree. And as Brauchler argues, it shouldn't get that far.
"He's refused to acknowledge responsibility. He's refused to participate in sex offender treatment," Brauchler tells me. "What his supporters will tell you is, well, he's got religious objections. So, we just throw in the towel and say he's good to go?"
Would any American sex offender in such complete denial be released like this?
"The victim does want him to acknowledge his wrongdoing to her," Tomsic says. "And she wants him to try to better himself through treatment ... . She is also cognizant that if he goes back to Saudi Arabia, he will have opportunities" with servants again.
That's putting it delicately. "Saudi Arabia is a destination country for men and women subjected to forced labor and, to a lesser extent, forced prostitution," according to the State Department's 2012 report on Trafficking in Persons. Moreover, "the government of Saudi Arabia does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so. ... Domestic workers — the population most vulnerable to forced labor — remained excluded from general labor law protections, and employers continued to regularly withhold workers' passports as a means of keeping them in forced labor."
Withhold a worker's passport? Why, that's what Al-Turki did with his victim.
Is it any wonder that he and the Saudi government were shocked at his conviction?
Too bad. If he won't seek treatment, then let him stay where is he is, quarantined far from the next unsuspecting maid who might fall into his grasp.

Hepatic encephalopathy is the loss of brain function that occurs when the liver is unable to remove toxins from the blood.
Hepatic coma; Encephalopathy - hepatic
The exact cause of hepatic encephalopathy is unknown. Hepatic encephalopathy is brought on by disorders that affect the liver. These include:
An important job of the liver is to make toxic substances in the body harmless. These can include substances made by the body as well things that you take in (such as medicines). However, when the liver is damaged, these "poisons" can build up in the bloodstream. Ammonia, which is produced by the body when proteins are digested, is one of the substances normally made harmless by the liver. Other toxins may also build up. These things can cause damage to the nervous system.
When liver damage occurs, hepatic encephalopathy may occur suddenly, even in people who have not had liver problems in the past. More often, the problem develops in people with chronic liver disease.
Hepatic encephalopathy may be triggered by:
Disorders that can appear similar to hepatic encephalopathy include:
In some cases, hepatic encephalopathy is a short-term problem that can be corrected. It may also occur as part of a chronic problem from liver disease that gets worse over time.
Symptoms may begin slowly and slowly get worse. They may also begin suddenly and be severe from the start.
Early symptoms may be mild and include:
More severe symptoms may include:
People with hepatic encephalopathy can become unconscious, unresponsive, and possibly enter a coma.
Patients are often not able to care for themselves because of these symptoms.
Signs of nervous system changes may include:
Tests may include:
Hepatic encephalopathy can be a medical emergency that requires a hospital stay.
The first step is to identify and treat any factors that may have caused hepatic encephalopathy.
Gastrointestinal bleeding must be stopped. The intestines must be emptied of blood. Infections, kidney failure, and electrolyte abnormalities (especially potassium) need to be treated.
Life support may be necessary to help with breathing or blood circulation, particularly if the person is in a coma. The brain may swell, which can be life-threatening.
If the problem is very bad, you may need to cut down the protein in your diet. However, too little protein can cause malnutrition, so you should talk to a dietitian about how to change your diet. People who are very ill may need intravenous or tube feedings.
You may be given lactulose to prevent intestinal bacteria from creating ammonia and to remove blood from the intestines. You may also get neomycin to reduce ammonia production by intestinal bacteria. Rifaximin, a new antibiotic, is also effective in hepatic encephalopathy.
You may need to avoid sedatives, tranquilizers, and any other medicines that are broken down by the liver. Medicines containing ammonium (including certain antacids) should also be avoided. Your doctor may suggest other medicines and treatments. These may have varying results.
Acute hepatic encephalopathy may be treatable. Chronic forms of the disorder often continue to get worse and come back.
Both forms of the condition may result in irreversible coma and death. The majority of people who go into a coma will die. The chances of getting better vary from person to person.
Call your health care provider if you or people around you notice any problems with your mental state or nervous system function. This is very important for people who already have a liver disorder. Hepatic encephalopathy can get worse quickly and become an emergency condition.
Treating liver problems may prevent hepatic encephalopathy. Avoiding heavy drinking and intravenous drug use can prevent many liver disorders.

Leopold, Aldo
This article is part of the Aldo Leopold Collection.
Aldo Leopold's life and legacy defy easy categorization. He was trained as a forester, but Leopold's work as an educator, philosopher, ecologist, and wilderness advocate is well-documented and his influence remains widely felt. A key figure in the conservation movement of the 20th century, he is best-known as the author of A Sand County Almanac, a slim volume of essays of his observations, experiences and thoughts about the relationship between humans and nature. The book was informed and inspired by his professional and personal experiences as a conservationist, including his family's work to restore the health of a "worn-out" Wisconsin farm. Published posthumously in 1949, A Sand County Almanac has become an environmental classic and is a standard reading assignment in conservation, ecology and environmental science courses at universities and colleges across the U.S. and around the world.
Born in 1887 and raised in Burlington, Iowa, Leopold was greatly influenced by his many boyhood hunting and fishing excursions with his father, who was an avid sportsman with a strong commitment to ethical sportsmanship and a deep appreciation for nature. With these experiences, Leopold developed an interest in the natural world at an early age, spending hours observing, writing about, and sketching his surroundings.
He attended Lawrenceville Preparatory School in New Jersey, and subsequently graduated from the Yale Forest School in 1909. Among the first formally trained foresters in his generation, Leopold eagerly pursued a career with the newly established U.S. Forest Service in Arizona and New Mexico. There he met Estella Bergere, daughter of a successful New Mexico ranching family, and they were married in Sante Fe in 1912. By the age of 24, he had been promoted to the post of Supervisor for the Carson National Forest in New Mexico. During the next several years, he developed a strong interest in the landscape of the Southwest and in the issues of game (wildlife) protection, soil erosion, rangeland management and wilderness protection. During this time he also became well-known among foresters for his innovative thinking and writing on these subjects. Especially concerned about the loss of wilderness, Leopold began to call for the creation of "wilderness areas" within national forests. In 1922, he was instrumental in developing the proposal to manage portions of the Gila National Forest as a wilderness area, which became the first such official designation in 1924. His interest in and commitment to wilderness protection remained strong and 11 years later he became a founding member of The Wilderness Society.
Leopold and his family moved to Madison, Wisconsin in 1924, when he was appointed assistant director of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory there. Four years later, he gave up his position with the U.S. Forest Service to focus full-time on what he saw as a growing need: to create wildlife management as a viable field of study. In 1933, he published Game Management , the first textbook in this new discipline. Later that year, the University of Wisconsin appointed him as the nation's first professor in the new field, which would later come to be known as wildlife ecology and management.
In 1935, Leopold purchased a "worn out and abandoned farm" located along the Wisconsin River, about an hour's drive north of the family's home in Madison. There, the family began working on weekends and breaks from school to conserve the eroding soil and establish wildlife habitat. The experience of planting thousands of pine trees, wildflowers, prairie grasses and other plants, and observing the ensuing changes in the landscape, himself, and his family further informed and inspired Leopold. He continued to pursue difficult questions about how people change land and how people might be encouraged to practice conservation rather than exploiting the wealth of the land. Over the next decade, his work on the Wisconsin farm--combined with travel to Germany to study European forestry and game management methods and travel to Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental unspoiled wilderness--influenced his shift from a focus on wilderness and wildlife to a still broader concern with "land health." This shift was important not only for Leopold personally, but also for the philosophy of conservation generally; it changed the utilitarian-versus-preservation debate personified by Gifford Pinchot and John Muir, respectively, by synthesizing their perspectives through an expanded understanding of ecological processes, natural history, and the impact of human activity on the land.
Already a prolific writer of articles for professional journals and popular magazines, in the early-1940s Leopold conceived of a book geared for general audiences that would use his family's experiences restoring the sand county farm to examine humanity's relationship to the natural world and lay out his philosophical development of "a land ethic." Just one week after receiving word that his manuscript would be published by Oxford University Press, Leopold suffered a heart attack and died on April 21, 1948 while fighting a neighbor's grass fire that escaped and threatened the Leopold "shack" and farm.
After his death, Leopold's second son, Luna, oversaw the final editing and publication in 1949 of A Sand County Almanac. Sixty years later, with more than two million copies sold and translations in 10 languages, the book has reached citizens around the world and inspired leaders from the grassroots to global levels.
Leopold's legacy continues to inform and inspire new generations of students and citizens to see the natural world "as a community to which we belong."

The high-rise Henry M. Jackson Federal Building, also known as the "JFB" or the "New Federal Building," is located adjacent to the earliest pioneer settlement and origin of the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. The JFB occupies one full block in Seattle's downtown waterfront neighborhood and is bounded by First Avenue on the west, Madison Street on the north, Second Avenue on the east, and Marion Street on the south. Construction of this 36 story, 854,000 square foot building began with the demolition of the historic Burke Building (a few features were preserved such as a granite arch now located on the Second Avenue side of the JFB). The JFB is home to over 35 agencies and more than 2,300 employees. Many of the original tenant agencies, which began to occupy space in 1974, still reside in the building. As the largest federal office building with the greatest number of occupants, the JFB is considered the "flagship" of federal office buildings in the Pacific Northwest.

Accessing the database using JDatabase
From Joomla! Documentation

Joomla provides a sophisticated database abstraction layer to simplify the usage for third party developers. New versions of the Joomla Platform API provide additional functionality which extends the database layer further, and includes features such as connectors to a greater variety of database servers and the query chaining to improve readability of connection code and simplify SQL coding.
Joomla can use different kinds of SQL database systems and run in a variety of environments with different table-prefixes. In addition to these functions, the class automatically creates the database connection. Besides instantiating the object you need just two lines of code to get a result from the database in a variety of formats. Using the Joomla database layer ensures a maximum of compatibility and flexibility for your extension.
The Connection
Joomla supports a generic interface for connecting to the database, hiding the intricacies of a specific database server from the Framework developer, thus making Joomla code easier to port from one database to another.
To obtain a database connection, use the JFactory getDbo static method:
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
Alternatively, if your class inherits from the JModel (or a decendent class) getDbo method:
$db = $this->getDbo();
users should note that the JModel class has been renamed JModelLegacy and will eventually be deprecated in favour of the class JModelBase. Therefore, any Joomla 3.0 core or extension code should use JFactory::getDbo() to obtain a database connection.
The Query
Joomla's database querying has changed since the new Joomla Framework was introduced "query chaining" is now the recommended method for building database queries (although string queries are still supported).
Query chaining refers to a method of connecting a number of methods, one after the other, with each method returning an object that can support the next method, improving readability and simplifying code.
To obtain a new instance of the JDatabaseQuery class we use the JDatabaseDriver getQuery method:
$db = JFactory::getDbo(); $query = $db->getQuery(true);
The JDatabaseDriver::getQuery takes an optional argument, $new, which can be true or false (the default being false).
To query our data source we can call a number of JDatabaseQuery methods; these methods encapsulate the data source's query language (in most cases SQL), hiding query-specific syntax from the developer and increasing the portability of the developer's source code.
Some of the more frequently used methods include; select, from, join, where and order. There are also methods such as insert, update and delete for modifying records in the data store. By chaining these and other method calls, you can create almost any query against your data store without compromising portability of your code.
Selecting Records from a Single Table
// Get a db connection. $db = JFactory::getDbo(); // Create a new query object. $query = $db->getQuery(true); // Select all records from the user profile table where key begins with "custom.". // Order it by the ordering field. $query->select(array('user_id', 'profile_key', 'profile_value', 'ordering')); $query->from('#__user_profiles'); $query->where('profile_key LIKE \'custom.%\''); $query->order('ordering ASC'); // Reset the query using our newly populated query object. $db->setQuery($query); // Load the results as a list of stdClass objects. $results = $db->loadObjectList();

Barbrey Dustin
this wiki
|The title of this article is conjecture based on information revealed in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels and may be subject to change.
- "My mother served Lady Dustin for many years, my lord."
- ―Arya Stark to Tywin Lannister
Barbrey Dustin, née Ryswell, is an unseen character mentioned in the second season.
Barbrey Dustin is a member of House Ryswell by birth and House Dustin by marriage. She is the Lady of Barrowton.
Season 2
When Tywin Lannister calls out Arya Stark on her speech not being like that of a lowborn, she lies saying that her mother was a handmaid to Lady Dustin and taught her how to speak properly.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Barbrey Ryswell is the head of House Dustin and the widow of Lord Willam Dustin, who fought alongside Ned Stark during Robert's Rebellion. Lord Roose Bolton was married to her late eldest sister, Bethany. It isn't clear if William left an heir, because Lady Barbrey continues to rule House Dustin in his name. She usually leads House Dustin to act in concert with House Ryswell, which is still ruled by her own father Rodrik Ryswell.
Lady Dustin holds a grudge against Eddard Stark, even after his demise, for not bringing her husband's bones north with him so she could bury him at his ancestral home.

English 101 Section A16. Writing About Failure
Failure is inevitable. How do we deal with knowing that? What kinds of situations prompt people to write about failure? And why would anyone want to write about it? We encounter failure often, whether we'd like to admit it or not. In this class, we'll consider failure as part of a situation that calls for writing, and we'll explore how and why people write about it from a range of perspectives using variety of genres.
Beyond discussing and writing about failure, students can expect to participate in small group discussions and collaborations. Students will be expected to submit working drafts for discussion with the instructor and other students and will be asked to provide both written and verbal feedback on other students' work.

A man was seriously burned after his camper caught fire late Wednesday night in Beaufort County.
The call came in just before 11:00 p.m. for a fire on Clinton Avenue just past Asbury Church Road on Highway 264 east.
Randy Manning is in serious condition at the Jaycee Burn Center in Chapel Hill.
Emergency Management Director John Pack says the man had third degree burns on 18 to 20% of his body. He was first taken to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville before being transferred to the burn center.
Friends say Manning live in the camper.

Illegal immigrants and college tuition is back before the Colorado Senate, with passage appearing certain on the measure's first floor vote Friday.
The Democratic Senate has approved lowered tuition rates for the illegal immigrants before. This year's bill faces better prospects because the House is now in Democratic hands, and the Democratic governor supports the proposal.
The bill allows students at state colleges to receive in-state tuition rates regardless of their immigration status.
The change would be a dramatic turnaround for a state where lawmakers less than a decade ago barred illegal immigrants from receiving any nonemergency state benefits.

DRY RIDGE – It's not often a team can gain more than 500 yards in total offense, get whistled for 22 penalties and top it off with a win, but the Oldham County Colonels did it Friday.The Colonels picked up a big district road win in a 55-42 shootout with Grant County. "It was a crazy one for sure," OCHS coach Lonnie Oldham said. "They got a score off a kickoff return and set up another score with a long return to the six.

So, the mysterious Mortal Kombat Rebirth film short/trailer that started making the rounds this week is not a game teaser, but a pitch to Warner Brothers for a new, darker MK movie, according to Jeri Ryan, who appears in the short. No word yet on whether WB is backing the movie, but if you were hoping that the mystery film was a game teaser, you're in luck: a new Mortal Kombat game is coming in '11 for Playstation 3 and XBOX 360. The new version, to be released by Warner Brothers, is expected to go back to featuring ultra-gory finishing moves.
I don't know, sounds like an excuse to dress up as a ninja fighter!
In other news, I saw via Dread Central that "Kick Ass" star Christopher Mintz-Plasse will play Evil Ed in the "Fright Night" remake. Peter Vincent will be played by David Tennant, aka Dr. Who. I can totally see it.

The subject of this article is a real-life person, group, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System. The moon's phases and substances are very useful and important in the wizarding world.
Moondew is a magical substance extracted from the moon, persumably used in potions. Its properties were discovered in medieval times by druidess Cliodna. Also, the phases of the Moon influence the making of potions, as studied by Hesper Starky.
It was believed by medieval Healers that taking the liver of a toad, binding it tight about the victim's throat and standing naked by the full moon in a barrel of eels' eyes would cure spattergroit. Wizards infected with lycantrophy transform into a Werewolf if exposed to the full moon's rays.

Gambling may be illegal in some states but there's no law against having your own fun casino themed party. Koyal Wholesale presents the best ideas to host your own poker night with all your friends and family! Whether you're interested in hosting a fundraiser or a birthday party, a casino theme is the perfect way to incorporate your favorite card game into a party theme. Brush up on your black jack rules and poker knowledge so you can impress all the card sharks you plan to invite. Decorate with plenty of red, black and white—the unofficial casino colors.
You can incorporate a casino theme into your invitations whether they're paper or electronic. Party invitations should include the date, time and theme for guests to plan accordingly. If you're having a potluck fundraiser split the appetizers, entrees and desserts according to alphabet. This assures you have plenty of each food item to share. If you're having friends and family over for a casino themed birthday party, decorate with plenty of red and black disposable tableware to save yourself from dishes. Disposable tableware is available in a variety of bright colors and can be paired with drink ware. No need to worry about bringing out the good china for a poker game night, chip and dip combos are perfectly acceptable served on plastic plates. Then again, loser might not have the option of doing the dishes to pay back the money.

Don't forget your consolation prizes for those who walk away with empty pockets. Send your friends home with a party favor to remind them of the fun time they had, even if their pocket books are a little lighter. It's hard to be a sore loser when you have a cool take home prize such as a poker themed party favor or a bag of chocolate. Put together DIY party favors using favor bags and chocolate poker chips. The sweet snack will soften the blow of you cleaning out their wallets.
Celebrating a poker night calls for some knowledge of how to play the game. While you don't have to pay a professional dealer to host your game table, it might be a fun way to liven up the night. If you're putting together a casual game of black jack or Texas Hold 'em it will help to know your rules and regulations for any heated arguments. Your local bookstore or library should have a copy of game rules for you to study and keep on hand. Be sure to serve plenty of finger foods that are edible with one hand, as it's never safe to lay your hands down near your opponent. Cool beverages are a must and should include non-alcoholic alternatives for underage guests. Casino themed parties are fun for the whole family. Card games can be adapted for different age groups; Old Maid and Go Fish are great kid friendly card games that will entertain the younger generation! Hosting a game night is a great way to invite all your friends over for an entertaining night of old fashioned fun and rivalry. Don't gamble on your party theme, a casino and poker theme party is a winning combination!

Judging from the number of users I see experiencing pregnancy scares on the Scarleteen message boards, particularly from situations besides genital intercourse, you'd think sperm cells were some magical weapon of mass fertilization, powerfully wiggling their way through clothes/towels/fabric, and leaping off hands to impregnate every person around them within a 50 mile radius. Look out for scary sperm! Get outta the way! They're coming right for you! (pun intended)
As a volunteer for Scarleteen, I'm here to tell you none of this is physically possible. It just isn't. As a former laboratory technician at a fertility clinic, having worked directly with sperm and semen (and without having ever gotten pregnant doing so, no less!), I want to tell you why.
Before I continue, a few things I'd like to clarify:
Sperm cells are essentially microscopic packets of DNA traveling via a biologically evolved wind-up key.
They're very small, very simple, and very fragile. And no, they cannot successfully impregnate every female person they land on. If they did, there wouldn't be such thing as couples having trouble conceiving, or fertility clinics, or me working at one.
What exactly goes on at a fertility clinic, specifically, in the laboratory? In the one I worked in, I ran blood tests to determine and monitor female reproductive hormone levels and also processed patient semen.
Every person who goes to a fertility clinic does so for a different reason; while babymaking is generally the reason, I've had patients who are there to donate, to preserve samples prior to undergoing some sort of radiation therapy such as cancer, to simply doing a basic checkup after enduring an incident of bodily trauma just to make sure everything's okay – either to assure sperm wasn't affected, or, in the case of a vasectomy, to assure there are no sperm at all (a good sign for a successful procedure).
Regardless of what they are at the clinic for, none of their samples escape the semen analysis (SA).
All in all, this is a pretty basic procedure; it's a basic checkup on the quality of the patient's semen, kind of like how when you go to a doctor's office a nurse usually checks you out first by taking your temperature, your weight, blood pressure, and so forth.
However, a few things are in order:
Radiation therapy, as I mentioned above, is a form of intense heat that the body is subjected to for the purpose of killing off cancer cells because they're so darn hardy. Unfortunately, radiation also kills off plenty of other cells in the body that are not so tough, including sperm cells.
As you can see, just based on these few criteria listed here, sperm can't just simply survive anywhere in any kind of conditions, by any stretch. African violets look hardy compared to them: they are fragile, delicate little puppies, sperm.
Should you find yourself faced with a pregnancy scare scenario, especially when other logic is failing you, you might keep these criteria in mind and ask yourself:
If you answered yes to any of those three basic questions, rest assured: chances are you or someone else are not pregnant.
Two other procedures that involve semen processing also revolve around this understanding that sperm are extremely fragile and need to be handled delicately, especially if a couple is having fertility trouble and a male patient/partner is unable to produce a good sized sample.
Depending on sperm count, motility (how well they move), and the acting physician's judgment, the laboratory prepares semen samples for either intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures.
An IUI is where the physician performs an insemination into a female patient by manually injecting the male patient's prepared semen into her, and an IVF is where both the sperm and egg are extracted and placed onto a petri dish underneath a high powered microscope for a manual fertilization to be done before returning the now fertilized egg back into the female. In both cases, the laboratory processes the semen via a "wash," which essentially strips the raw semen of all its cells, gunk, and glory, leaving only sperm. Then they need to be reconstituted in an artificial medium that contains food and nutrients like semen so they don't starve while they sit in the incubator, waiting to be dealt with, either through IUI or IVF. And like semen, the amount of food in there is finite, which is why reconstituted "washed" sperm also need to be processed promptly.
Sperm are so fragile that even when we (laboratory technicians) pipet the mixture up and down to thoroughly mix the sperm and media together, we have to do so slowly and gently, otherwise the force we create in the conical tube (kind of like a test tube with a screw top) is akin to a really bad storm or hurricane that can cause sperm to become dislocated or otherwise mutilated and rendered non-functional.
Sometimes sperm need to be frozen and put into storage. I've had to do this for patients in the military before they leave for duty, sperm donors, cancer patients about to undergo chemotherapy, and even just patients who weren't sure they'd be able to produce a good sample on the day that their partner undergoes the insemination procedure. Given the three main criteria that I listed earlier that I stated were essential for sperm survival, there is technically no way that sperm can be frozen and still be viable after thawing, especially if they're being dunked in liquid nitrogen! Not raw, anyway; aside from concocting a special anti-freeze of sorts to protect the sperm from a sudden change in temperature, the wash portion is essentially the same. But even so, well after the thaw, not all the sperm survive; reasons could be due to shock, weak sperm, inadequate distribution of cryogenic preservative, or a host of other reasons. Depending on how much sperm survive and are viable, either the procedure goes through, or some other change of plan needs to be enacted to ensure a good amount of sperm is put into the female for a good chance for fertilization and pregnancy.
So, who's afraid of sperm cells?
If you were a laboratory technician working at a fertility clinic, you would have good reasons to be — not because of the potentiality of impregnating yourself, but because sperm are so delicate and require constant monitoring of three big conditions (temperature, time, and pH), not to mention the pressure you'd get from couples (and oftentimes, the physicians and the entire office) depending on you to prepare a good sample to help them make a baby.
Even if you're someone engaging in the kind of sex that is most commonly how pregnancy happens when it does, but are also using contraception, engaging in safer sex practices, and regularly use the fabulously great resources and articles on Scarleteen--really, you have nothing to fear from sperm cells.

Major Questions
We've listed some of the questions that we hear most often from parents and students. Of course there are not the only questions we hear, and we're sure you have a few of your own. We're here and ready to help!
Do I have to declare a major?
If you apply to the University of South Carolina as a freshman, you are not required
to choose a major. You can select 'undeclared' on the application. Many students apply
as undeclared and choose a major after they become more familiar with their interests.
If you are applying as any other type of student, you must choose a major on the application.
Can I change my major?
You can change your major at any time through orientation. If you are a freshman, you can choose any major that interests you. If you are another type of applicant, you are welcome to change your major, but it can have an affect on your admissions status depending on the requirements of your new chosen major.
Are the requirements the same for all majors?
For freshmen applicants, the academic requirements are the same for all majors. However, dance and music do require auditions. For all other types of applicants, the academic requirements vary. For most majors, you must have a 2.25 cumulative GPA on all attempted college work. Some majors require a higher GPA and certain course requirements, such as calculus.
Which high school courses should I take for my major?
For freshman applicants, we look at 19 core courses for all applicants, regardless of major. Performing well on these core academic courses will prepare you the best for academic life at UofSC.
Can I transfer into a major?
Students can absolutely change their majors after beginning studies at UofSC. You must be able to meet progression requirements, and these vary for each major. Your academic advisor can help assist you with a major change. You can also read the UofSC Academic Bulletin to find out more about your prospective program.

Private and public organisations have been challenged to adhere to the Disability Act passed by Parliament in 2010 which requires them to employ three percent of persons with disabilities in their working places.
Under the prevailing law of the land, in companies with 50 employees or more, at least 2 per cent of the workforce should comprise persons with disabilities.
According to the Persons with Disabilities passed by Parliament in April 2010, this level should increase gradually to 3 per cent in firms with 20 or more registered employees.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam recently, Thobias Kange'ete, who is the coordinator of Mbeya based Lufilyo Association of disabled persons, said few companies have recruited persons with disabilities since the Act was enacted.
He said the government did not show the way, since many perspns with disabilities are not employed in its departments.
He said this is the opportune time for the government to enforce the Act to enable more persons with disabilities employed in organizations and improve their lives. According to him, persons with disability face various challenges, including poverty. There is a need to make sure that they get sustainable income through employment which would enable them to live like others.
Persons with disabilities make up a large proportion of the country's population and employing someone with disability does make business sense because they have a unique appreciation of their jobs, are very committed and willing to work hard in order to succeed, he said.
The United Nations Organisation estimates that in most countries, up to 80 per cent of persons with disabilities of working age are unemployed.
It was not easily established what is the total number of persons with disabilities employed in Tanzania, but estimates put the number close to 3.3million.

Light Roadster
this wiki
|Light Roadster
|Vehicle Type
|Multi-program transport
|Link, Beck; Mara (bike variant)
|Behind the scenes
|TRON: Uprising
The light roadster is a four-seat vehicle introduced in TRON: Uprising.
The light roadster is much like a real-world car, with four wheels and a large light-ring inside for use as a steering wheel. The vehicle also has seatbelts, headlights, a retractable roof, and a rear-view mirror above the dash. Unlike a real-world car, it can split in half to go in two directions, each half reforming into an unusual two-seat light cycle. When driven, the light roadster's interior circuits change to match the circuitry of the driver, but its exterior circuits remain vivid red.
General Tesler offered the light roadster, showcased in a glittery spectacle at the Coliseum, as a reward for information leading to the capture of the Renegade. While programs around Argon City turned in their neighbors in the hope of winning the prize, Link, fascinated by the vehicle, remained in the Coliseum to stare at it and imagine how he'd take care of it if it was his. He was easily convinced by Pavel to provide "unbiased" testimony framing Hopper as the Renegade, and received the light roadster after Hopper's arrest.
While driving his prize away, Link was startled by the appearance of the real Renegade in the back seat. The two conferred on the edge of town, but when Link was unable to grasp the Renegade's plan for freeing Hopper, the Renegade stole the car and raced back to Argon Square, leaving the hapless Link imploring him to be careful with it.
The light roadster's speed allowed the Renegade, in spite of a traffic jam, to reach Argon Square in time to save Hopper, Mara, and Zed from certain death; he used the car to dodge blasts from Pavel's missile launcher and escape the tipping platform in the middle of the square. After ditching Hopper, he split the car into its two light cycle halves, allowing Mara and Zed to drive away on one while he departed on the other.
- The light roadster was nicknamed the "VL1" by the writers after Vaughan Ling, who finalized its design.
- General Tesler claimed that the light roadster was the only vehicle that could outrun a light jet. However, Quorra elsewhere described the 2nd generation light cycle as the fastest vehicle on the Grid.

Term insurance provides coverage for a set period of time and may be a good choice for your temporary needs or if your funds are limited.
Permanent insurance, which includes Whole Life and Universal Life, may be the right fit for you if you want to cover a long-term need such as income for a spouse, legacy planning for children or end of life expenses. Permanent insurance may cost more initially, but may accumulate cash value.
It's difficult to say exactly which kind of Life insurance is better because the type of coverage that's right for you mainly depends on your individual circumstances and financial goals. A combination of Term and Permanent insurance may be the right solution.

Not all great opportunities have to be high-risk ones. With indexed universal life insurance (IUL), lifelong insurance protection is just the beginning, as long as all premiums are paid to keep the policy in force. Indexed universal life can help balance your needs for life insurance and competitive cash value accumulation. IUL's index-linked feature provides more potential for cash value growth than traditional universal life, and less risk than variable universal life. Which means you can spend more time enjoying life's special moments, and less time worrying about your family's financial future.

When navigating life's twists and turns such as marriage, kids, job changes, mortgages, education and the loss of loved ones leaves you feeling like you're fighting fires, swimming with sharks or ziplining across great divides, Farmers Life® insurance can help protect you and your loved ones financially every step of the way. Work with me so you can spend less time worrying about an uncertain financial fate and more time doing the things you enjoy most in life.
Farmers Life can help protect you and your loved ones financially through every stage. If you passed away tomorrow, how would your family be impacted financially? Life insurance proceeds can help replace lost income, pay a mortgage, help fund a child's education, cover debts and more. Life insurance can help provide financial stability for your loved ones and reassurance for you.
Young people may believe they do not need life insurance. Chances are you have people in your life who would be impacted financially if you were no longer around- either by support you provide them or to cover your end-of-life expenses. Also, buying insurance when you're young and healthy helps ensure you're covered even if your situation changes.
Life insurance is not only for those with families. Many young couples, even those without children, may have people who depend on them, whether it's taking care of a parent or as the sole provider for their household. Life insurance is generally more affordable and easier to obtain when you're young.
Parents of young children should consider life insurance for both the primary earner and a stay-at-home parent because life insurance could also help pay for the wide range of services that a stay-at-home parent provides. When you are young and in good health you generally qualify for a lower rate than when you are older.
Single parents often assume dual responsibility as both the source of income and caretaker of their children. Life insurance proceeds can help provide financial assistance in the event that a family's sole provider and caretaker passes away.
When a retired spouse dies, the Social Security or pension payments may be reduced as survivor benefits can be much lower than retiree benefits. You can help protect your spouse from this reduction in income with life insurance, so a personal loss does not become a financial hardship as well.
Life insurance may be an important part of your legacy-planning strategy to, for instance, help grandchildren accomplish important goals, such as completing a college education.
A secure future doesn't just happen. Call me today to plan ahead!
