The reason I hate certain websites is because the mods think the ban button is fun. Don't be like that. The only thing I am saying is Jeremy should watch how he words what he is saying. To say it's "breaking news" is not accurate. The thing to say is I honestly beleive from what my sources are saying is Jim Harbaugh will be our next coach. "breaking News" makes everyone think it's set in stone. Now here is what I wrote that you want to ban me on. It's a discusion thread and not dogging the owner of the site. Lay off the ban button.
Last time we hired a basketball coach you said that Jeter from Mil Wis was our next coach. You were wrong along with many other people. Not dogging you out on that claim.
Now your saying that Jim Harbaugh is our next coach. Do you realize that if you are wrong on this one you will lose a lot of credibility? You should really calm down on your predicitions.
To predict what Jamie Pollard is thinking is a bad move. So far nobody has predicted the right outcome of anything he is trying to do at ISU. In other words I think the sources you might need to check with are in San Diego.
I will keep watching your site.
Clones Rule
perhaps you should give your advice directly to jeremy then. click on "PM" right next to his name and you may have your own conversation.
I agree, it is not news until it is fact. Until then, it is a rumor or personal opinion, but to call something other than fact news is inaccurate.

Cyclonedrew, You say that your intention is not to "dog" Jeremy but the wording of that line comes off as an attempt to dog him. I understand your train of thought, however, it may have been better to phrase it differently. Many of us are not professional writers and we all make wording mistakes. I believe that your post would have come across better if it was worded differently.
I would rather hear about Harbaugh being the coach than to sit in a vacuum as the Gazette and Rag rage on about we can do no better than McC. This is a free site and creates excitment for people. Obviously, Harbaugh being at Drake game with JP attending is a leading indicator the search has been on for awhile. Harbaugh or Brewster are recruiting updgrades and probably coaching upgrades and most like staff upgrades. No harm done with breaking that news before Missouri game. After Colorado, we are definitely headed the right direction with a new staff. Thank McC. Hire new coach. Bring the staff. Start recruiting before Feb. Win. Win. Win. Win over Iowa. Then start on North foes.

anything you see on ESPN or CN or Rivals? Thats the business they are in. These places are for dedicated fans to revel in gossip and rumor about our passion for Cyclone athletics. If you're bothered by the content exercise your right and don't partake. You should be damn glad there are now 3 sites dedicated to Cyclone athletics rather than picking nits about someone's phrasology....
The ban button is fun? LMAO!
I looked, this site has only about 10-15 banned members. 4 on the list are the same person. I think 2 or 3 others had 2 accounts banned as well.
So what's your point?
Personally, who gives a crap whether Jeremy says "BREAKING NEWS" or "BREAKING UPDATE" or "BREAKING OPINION" or "BREAKING INFORMATION BUT DON'T TAKE THIS AS 100% FACT"
Why are we debating this? And a better question...why are you analyzing this?? Who cares?
but the wording of that line comes off as an attempt to dog him.
O.K. I realize it may look like that but I was not trying to dog him. I realize this a free site but Jeremy runs the site and gives what people think is fact. I am just saying unless you know for a fact that it's happening that you should let people know that it's speculation from inside sources.
Look I know some pretty high up people at ISU. I know who they think the next coach will be and I think I know. The only person's who really know are the next head coach, his wife, and our A.D.
If you have a suggestion, just email it to him. Don't post it in a public forum...
Some people spend their entire day/week/life bringing other people down so they can feel a little better about themselves.
I'll bet the original poster has never...
- Made an incorrect statement about something/someone
- Read something on another site/publication that wasn't 100% fact.
- Speculated about something.
- Actually read what Jeremy said about Harbaugh, that he's almost sure it's a "done deal" but it's not final yet.
/ sarcasm
Drew - your exit sign isn't too far away. I don't consider the ban button to be fun, however, I do enjoy ridding this site of members that only want to drag it down. The ball is in your court.

exactly my point.
but, i have another question...when did this site become a source of 100% accurate news? i thought we were here to bounce around opinions and have fun and to maybe get in on some breaking news. when it comes to news of any kind...it can change. but, this site does a good job of updating it's users on what is happening now. i think jeremy's point of posting about harbaugh is that his hire is what is being pursued now. coudl that change? could jp be using that as a decoy? maybe...but we'll all find out. in the mean time, relax....refresh your browser and come play and have fun. it's not costing you anything....
Read my post's in the past. If you want to ban me then fine. Go ahead and do it. I was simply trying to is give some advice.
This forum should be treated as a "water cooler" message board.
Jeremy has never claimed that he's trying to be some kind of journalist, nor would I want him to be. He's a guy that has some connections to a little inside info.
If he's wrong, I really don't care. It's just fun to gossip and speculate.
Geesk people, come on!
cyclonedrew, no one here wants to ban you. That's your choice all by yourself and Jeremy nor any of the mods need your permission to do so.
Just play by the rules, it's that simple. And if you feel so strongly about something that Jeremy has done/posted - do as other members suggested - handle it privately and e-mail him.
No one received your post as advice, really. Most everyone read it as an attack on Jeremy and CF.

Comments On Sep 27, 2013:I'm dislike the cold and have been known to use the heated seats on in my car nearly every month of the year. Recently, I planned an 800 mile motorcycle adventure touring trip to Jackson, WY only to find the weather on the cold and wet side. Off to RMATV to quickly order some "heated gear" and WOW! I couldn't be happier! I bought the Firstgear heated jacket, Firstgear portable heat-troller and the Firstgear glove liners. Installing the troller was a piece of cake as it comes with the wires and fuse ready to bolt to the bike battery. Mounting the troller to the bike was simple as it comes with sticky dual sided Velcro that adhered to my tank bag! From there I simply had to put on the jacket, plug it into the troller and occasionally turn the knob for heat as I drove down the road. The temp was down to 34 degrees Fahrenheit with a 65 mph wind chill factor and all I could think of was "Aaaahhhhhhh! This is a nice and toasty tour!" :-)

Comments On May 20, 2011:works great happy with it, but still thinking about the (remote control heat troller) be sure to look at that before you get this one because with this one I have to stop to adjust the heat settings because its in my pocket, the other has a remote that could be mounted on the bike for better adjustabiliy.

May 6, 2016
Once again, eastern Carolina will come in below average for our afternoon highs. Of the last 22 days, 18 of them have been below average and today will be number 19. Highs this afternoon will warm into the 50s, but stop short of the 60 degree mark. Depending on the amount of cloud cover, most locations will be in the 50 to 52 degree range. The cool trend will last through the weekend and the workweek as we stay in the mid 50s all next week.
Rain Chances
The heavy rain will hold off until Sunday afternoon, but a light shower is not out of the question this afternoon and evening. The bulk of the moisture will stream into eastern Carolina starting Sunday morning and coverage will increase after 11am. There is not threat of severe weather, but breezy conditions will join the rainy.
Rainfall totals will come in under 1.50" with the highest amounts registering through Carteret, Onslow, Jones, Pamlico and southern Craven county. Outside of these counties expected 0.2" to 1.00"

- This article refers to the Diablos as a gang. For the Diablo gang car, see Diablo Stallion.
- For the chopped motorcycle in The Lost and Damned, see Diabolus.
The Diablos (Spanish for Devils) are a Puerto Rican gang appearing in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
They are a fairly small gang, and not very well armed. The leader of the Diablos is El Burro (who has been under observation by police since 1997, as mentioned in GTA III's official website). The only activities known to be associated with the Diablos are street violence and pornography. They also appear to be having spats with the Uptown Yardies for dissing Queen Lizzy. They lost a lot of members during the attempted Turf War battle with the Leone Crime Family in Hepburn Heights and with the Yakuza for trying to steal some protection money.
The Diablos play an important role in GTA Liberty City Stories being one of the gangs used by the Sicilian Mafia to attack interests of the Leone Family. They are first seen when Toni Cipriani is enlisted to follow Massimo Torini, then a member of the Leone family after Salvatore Leone suspected somebody was betraying him. Massimo meets with a group of Diablos at Hepburn Heights and tells them that if they worked with his associates (later revealed to be the Sicilian Mafia) Hepburn Heights would belong to them. The Diablos then attacked the Leone Family goons in a large scale battle that takes place in Hepburn Heights, where the Leones are overwhelmed by a large quantity of Diablos armed with MAC-10 sub machine guns. The fight was won by the Leone Family, but Toni says that the Leone's wouldn't be able to hold on to Hepburn Heights much longer. This would be true, as the Diablos have control of Hepburn Heights in 2001, the setting of GTA III.
Diablo members are seen wearing dark blue jackets donning the Diablo's gang logo (a yellow crown) on the back, long pants and bandanas. In GTA Liberty City Stories, Diablos members don fishnets or red skullcaps on their heads, red shirts, and black or brown pants. They drive Diablo Stallions.
The favourite radio stations of the Diablos is The Liberty Jam in GTA LCS, Game Radio in GTA lll.
- Diablo is spanish for Devil
- The Diablos drove a Diablo Infernus, a beta car also cut.
Mission Appearances
- Pump-Action Pimp
- Shima

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Staying healthy is the main goal for most athletes, even if you have other goals like losing weight or gaining muscle as well. Supplements can play an important role in delivering good nutrition, nutrients that may be lacking in your diet or something more specific to your health.
Eating healthily is vital for staying healthy yet it's often hard to eat nutritious meals every single day. Meal Replacements make a great choice as they are convenient, packed with protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats.
Having regular meals every day keeps your metabolic rate high, delivers fuel to your body and keeps your energy levels high. Plus the convenience of an MRP means you can take it anywhere with you and not have to worry about skipping any meals.
Even the healthiest person can be depleted of certain nutrients, so taking a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement gives you assurance that your body is getting everything it needs to keep you in the best of health.
Our Men's and Women's Health sections have multis that are designed specifically for each gender and fulfill certain requirements, such as more iron for women and zinc for men. Each gender may find that they need other supplements to preserve well-being.
The male hormone, Testosterone, decreases in males as they age so taking Tribulus Terrestris or ZMA can help prevent the side effects of decreased testosterone in male athletes.
For females, some supplements can positively affect a woman's health at certain times in her life, such as during pregnancy, menstruation or menopause. Women also have an increased need for Calcium to prevent osteoporosis, especially when nearing menopausal age and beyond.
Both genders benefit from a Joint Support supplement which protects joints, ligaments and tendons to prevent injuries both from working out and everyday life. If you have specific health conditions or a family history of medical complaints, there are specific supplements to protect the heart, build immunity and even antioxidant formulae to neutralise free radical build-up that can damage cells.
Lastly our Training Stacks combine the 'best of the best', combining supplements from various categories to ensure you get the right products in the right combination.

Soph putting a charge in Dots
POCA, W.Va. - Every high school boys team has one guy that takes just a little bit more grief than everyone else on the team.
Sophomore Matt Chandler has been that guy for the Poca basketball team, although after Friday's performance it's going to be a bit tougher for his teammates to justify the hazing.
Chandler hit 6 of 7 shots from the floor for 16 points, led Poca in rebounding with eight, provided steady offense throughout and got a standing ovation in the fourth quarter as Poca ran past Mingo Central 68-47 in a Cardinal Conference matchup.
The role as scapegoat is a needed one as a team deals with the rigors and stresses of a long season, and for Chandler, it's been something he's embraced.
"Ever since I've met them they've always done that to me and I've just been able to take it," Chandler said with a grin.
Coach Allen Osborne will sure take more performances like the one he got from Chandler on Friday.
"He's the silent assassin," Osborne said. "He does a good job. He's around the ball, he shoots the ball well, he really came on at the end of last year for us and he's done a great job all year. These other guys in here give him a lot of grief. I told him he ought to whip some of their butts."
It was the second win over Mingo in a week for Poca and the Dots weren't in any mood to waste time establishing a lead on Friday.
Poca made 10 of 13 shots in the first quarter en route to a 24-7 advantage and jumped out to a 12-0 lead from the get-go.
Meanwhile, the Miners (4-3 overall, 3-3 Cardinal Conference) found the net just 4 of 21 times in the first half and scored just 13 points in the first 16 minutes.
"When they shoot like that they're very hard to stop," Mingo Central coach Brad Napier said of the Dots. "They run their stuff so good that when they're knocking down shots like that they can beat anyone in the state."
Credit Poca's signature swarming defense and the efficiency in which sophomore guard Noah Frampton and junior guard Cam Cottrill consistently broke the Miners' press, found open shots in transition and handled the ball all evening long.
"Whenever we did what we were supposed to do we handled the press pretty good," Osborne said. "I was proud of our guys. They kept playing and didn't fold when they had a couple of chances to. It was a good win for us, Mingo has been a pretty good team."
Cottrill scored a team-high 20 points and Frampton added 12, but as usual it was Poca's defense that did the real damage.
The Dots (7-1, 3-1) allowed just 31 percent shooting Friday and they haven't given up more than 53 points in a game all season. Poca is 7-0 when holding a team to 51 or less and opponents are averaging just 44.5 points per contest.
Poca may not be the biggest, strongest or most athletic team, but Chandler credits his team's relentless effort for the Dots' success thus far.
"We're just always hard workers," Chandler said. "We never settle down and we're always out there working our butts off. We never go easy on each other, we pretty much get in fights in practice almost every day - we just really work hard."
To Mingo's credit, the Miners overcame struggles on the offensive end and wouldn't let Poca relax, though the deficit never shrank below 12 after the first quarter.
Marqus Cunningham scored 13 points to lead Mingo while Austin Banks added 12.

Placement Testing
- What is the Placement Test?
- Placement Testing is designed to help you succeed in your college studies. The subject areas assessed include Reading, Writing, and Math/Algebra. It is important that you do your best on these tests. Your scores will assist your academic advisor in placing you into the courses and sections most suited to your preparation and needs, and will provide you and your advisor with important information about your individual skills, about your preparation for the program or degree that you wish to pursue, and about your special educational needs. If needed, Remedial and Developmental courses provide academic support for students whose placement test scores show a need for more preparation in reading, writing, and/or math. In short, the placement test is your first step toward success in achieving your educational goals. Consequently, it is crucial that you do your very best on these tests.
- How do my ACT/SAT scores relate to the Placement test?
- If you have taken the ACT or SAT within the last three years, use the following to determine whether placement testing is required for you:
- English score is 18 or above : No writing test required
- Math score is 19 or above : No math test required
- Reading score is 19 or above : No reading test required
- Verbal score is 450 or above : No writing test required
- Math score is 460 or above : No math test required
- Verbal score is 460 or above : No reading test required
- What do I need to bring to the test?
- You do not need to bring anything. Everything you need will be provided by the testing staff, including scratch paper, pencils, and a calculator for the math test.
- How can I prepare for the test?
- Visit our Learning Commons located on the first floor of the Thigpen Library. The Learning Commons is a great resource for students. They offer many services to our students, one of which is help preparing for the placement test. Although students are not required to utilize this service, it is an excellent resource and we strongly encourage you to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. The Learning Commons may be contacted by calling 615-452-8600, extension 3676 (toll-free: 1-888-335-8722, extension 3676) or by visiting their office in the Thigpen Library.
- I still have a lot of questions. Who can I talk to?
- Contact the Testing Center at (615) 230-3484 (toll-free: 1-888-335-8722, extension 3484).
- I'm working on a Certificate not a Degree.
- If you are enrolled in a technical certificate program, the placement test is not required.
- Who takes the Placement Test?
- The requirement to test is based on factors such as ACT/SAT scores, transfer college credit, the program of study you are pursuing, and previous completion of the placement test at another Tennessee Board of Regents institution. To find out if you will be required to test, you may contact the Office of Counseling and Testing at (615) 230 - 3484 (toll-free: 1-888-335-8722, extension 3484).
- Computerized Testing?
- The primary placement test used by Vol State is COMPASS, which is administered by computer. The program is very easy to use, and knowledge of computers is not necessary. The COMPASS is an "adaptive" test, which means that the first question you are given will be at the medium level of difficulty. If you answer that question correctly, then the computer will automatically give you a more difficult question next time. If you miss a question, the computer automatically gives you a less difficult question the next time. Once the program has enough information about your skills/knowledge in the subject area being tested, the test will end and you will receive your scores and placement results.
- How long does the test take?
- There is no time limit on the COMPASS. However, the average time to complete the entire battery of tests is about an hour and a half.
- When can I take the test?
- You may take the test once your application for admission has been processed by the Office of Admissions and Records. Most of the time, testing is available Monday thru Thursday, 8am until 6pm, and on Saturday, 9am until 1pm. However, you must contact the Office of Counseling and Testing by phone at (615) 230 - 3484 (toll-free: 1-888-335-8722, extension 3484), or by visiting the office in the Campus Center, Suite 210, to verify which dates/times are available and to sign up.
- Does Vol State require the ACT or SAT?
- Degree-seeking students who are under 21 years of age are required to submit ACT or SAT scores.
- I took the Placement Test at another school.
- If you have completed the placement test at another Tennessee Board of Regents or UT system institution, you do not need to retest. We will place you based on the scores from your other college.
- I'm a Transfer student. Do I have to test?
- Transfer students who have official transcripts on file that show completion of college-level course work (with a grade of C or better) in both English Composition and College Algebra do not need to take the Placement Test. Students who have course work completed in just one area (English Composition or College Algebra) will take the portion of the Placement Test for which they do not have official course work completed. Placement testing from colleges other than the Tennessee Board of Regents or UT system will not transfer to Vol State. We will generally accept coursework from accredited colleges but not placement testing alone. If you have any questions about transfer courses, contact the Advising Center at (615) 230 - 3702 (toll-free: 1-888-335-8722, extension 3702).
International Students
- What is an international student?
- An international student is a citizen of another country who enters the U.S., usually on a visa or work authorization card, and enrolls at a U.S. educational institution. Students holding permanent resident cards (green cards) and U.S. citizens born outside the United States technically are not international students.
- When may international students enroll at Vol State?
- International students are welcome to enroll in any semester they choose. We recommend that international students apply well in advance: by March 1 for the summer semester, June 1 for the fall semester, or October 1 for the spring semester.
- Is language testing required for international students?
- International students are required to take the TOEFL or MELAB and achieve a minimum score prior to enrolling in classes, unless the students' native language is English or they are only enrolling in ESL classes. Exceptions also may be made for students who graduated from high school in the United States, or who have completed English composition with a grade of "C" or better at an institution of higher learning. Language placement testing may also be required. The minimum score on the TOEFL is 500 for the paper-based test, or 173 for the computer-based test. The minimum score for the MELAB is 72.
- What other requirements must international students meet?
Like all Vol State applicants, international students applying to degree-seeking programs must submit official transcripts showing completion of high school, as well as official transcripts from any post-secondary institutions. (Transcripts not issued in English must be accompanied by certified translations.) Official transcripts are defined as those sent directly from the academic institution previously attended to Vol State. ACT or SAT scores are required for students who enter college before they turn 21, and proof of proper immunizations also are required for everyone. The COMPASS, or placement test, is also required prior to registration.
In addition, international students must provide copies of their visas and I/94s (arrival/departure records), along with copies of any other pertinent immigration paperwork. Since individual situations vary, students are notified which immigration papers are required. Students on F-1 or M-1 (student) visas are also required to provide an official financial statement showing ample funds (currently $27,223.00), for a year of living in the area and studying at Vol State. They must also purchase the Tennessee Board of Regents health insurance policy for international students. The premium for such insurance will be added to the student's regular institutional billing for tuition, fees, and services. Note: These figures are subject to change without notice.
For more information please view our International Students page.
- Are international students required to enroll full-time?
- International students on student (F-1 or M-1) visas are required to enroll full-time. International students with work authorization or other types of visas may, and probably should, enroll part-time to maintain legal status.
- Are international students eligible for in-state tuition rates at Vol State?
- Not in most cases. Those holding F, M, or B class visas are never eligible for in-state tuition. Students holding certain types of work visas may be eligible, but they must apply for in-state residency through the Office of Admissions and Records.
- Are international students eligible for federal financial aid?
- No. International students are not eligible for loans, grants, or the work-study program. They may be eligible for school-sponsored or privately sponsored scholarships, if the scholarships don't stipulate that only U.S. citizens or permanent residents may apply.
- Where can international students get further information?
- Detailed answers to all of these questions are provided in the college catalog, or under the International Student category of Vol State's admissions web page. Students with more specific questions or unique situations should speak with Pam Carey in the Records and Registration Office at (615) 452-8600, extension 3558.

(3) Costs incurred in defense of any civil or criminal fraud proceeding or similar proceeding (including filing of any false certification) brought by the Federal Government where the contractor is found liable or had pleaded nolo contendere to a charge of fraud or similar proceeding (including filing of a false certification).
(4) Payments of fines and penalties resulting from violations of, or failure to comply with, Federal, State, local, or foreign laws and regulations, except when incurred as a result of compliance with specific terms and conditions of the contract or specific written instructions from the contracting officer authorizing in advance those payments in accordance with applicable provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
(10) Costs for travel by commercial aircraft that exceed the amount of the standard commercial fare.
(11) Costs incurred in making any payment (commonly known as a "golden parachute payment") that is—

(12) Costs of commercial insurance that protects against the costs of the contractor for correction of the contractor's own defects in materials or workmanship.
(13) Costs of severance pay paid by the contractor to foreign nationals employed by the contractor under a service contract performed outside the United States, to the extent that the amount of severance pay paid in any case exceeds the amount paid in the industry involved under the customary or prevailing practice for firms in that industry providing similar services in the United States, as determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
(14) Costs of severance pay paid by the contractor to a foreign national employed by the contractor under a service contract performed in a foreign country if the termination of the employment of the foreign national is the result of the closing of, or the curtailment of activities at, a Federal Government facility in that country at the request of the government of that country.
(15) Costs incurred by a contractor in connection with any criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding commenced by the Federal Government or a State, to the extent provided in section 4310 of this title.

(1) Executive agency determination.— Pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and subject to the availability of appropriations, an executive agency, in awarding a covered contract, may waive the application of paragraphs (13) and (14) of subsection (a) to that contract if the executive agency determines that—
(A) the application of those provisions to that contract would adversely affect the continuation of a program, project, or activity that provides significant support services for employees of the executive agency posted outside the United States;
(B) the contractor has taken (or has established plans to take) appropriate actions within the contractor's control to minimize the amount and number of incidents of the payment of severance pay by the contractor to employees under the contract who are foreign nationals; and
(C) the payment of severance pay is necessary to comply with a law that is generally applicable to a significant number of businesses in the country in which the foreign national receiving the payment performed services under the contract or is necessary to comply with a collective bargaining agreement.
(2) Solicitation to include statement about waiver.— An executive agency shall include in the solicitation for a covered contract a statement indicating—
(c) Establishment of Definitions, Exclusions, Limitations, and Qualifications.— The provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation implementing this chapter may establish appropriate definitions, exclusions, limitations, and qualifications. A submission by a contractor of costs that are incurred by the contractor and that are claimed to be allowable under Department of Energy management and operating contracts shall be considered a proposal for settlement of indirect costs incurred by the contractor for any period after those costs have been accrued.

Ex. Ord. No. 13494. Economy in Government Contracting
Ex. Ord. No. 13494, Jan. 30, 2009, 74 F.R. 6101, as amended by Ex. Ord. No. 13517, § 2, Oct. 30, 2009, 74 F.R. 57239, provided:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, 40 U.S.C. 101et seq., it is hereby ordered that:
Section 1. To promote economy and efficiency in Government contracting, certain costs that are not directly related to the contractors' provision of goods and services to the Government shall be unallowable for payment, thereby directly reducing Government expenditures. This order is also consistent with the policy of the United States to remain impartial concerning any labor-management dispute involving Government contractors. This order does not restrict the manner in which recipients of Federal funds may expend those funds.
Sec. 2. It is the policy of the executive branch in procuring goods and services that, to ensure the economical and efficient administration of Government contracts, contracting departments and agencies, when they enter into, receive proposals for, or make disbursements pursuant to a contract as to which certain costs are treated as unallowable, shall treat as unallowable the costs of any activities undertaken to persuade employees—whether employees of the recipient of the Federal disbursements or of any other entity—to exercise or not to exercise, or concerning the manner of exercising, the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of the employees' own choosing. Such unallowable costs shall be excluded from any billing, claim, proposal, or disbursement applicable to any such Federal Government contract.
Sec. 3. Contracting departments and agencies shall treat as allowable costs incurred in maintaining satisfactory relations between the contractor and its employees (other than the costs of any activities undertaken to persuade employees to exercise or not to exercise, or concerning the manner of exercising, the right to organize and bargain collectively), including costs of labor management committees, employee publications, and other related activities. See 48 C.F.R. 31.205–21.
Sec. 4. Examples of costs unallowable under section 2 of this order include the costs of the following activities, when they are undertaken to persuade employees to exercise or not to exercise, or concern the manner of exercising, rights to organize and bargain collectively:
(a) preparing and distributing materials;
(b) hiring or consulting legal counsel or consultants;
(c) holding meetings (including paying the salaries of the attendees at meetings held for this purpose); and
(d) planning or conducting activities by managers, supervisors, or union representatives during work hours.
Sec. 5. Within 150 days of the effective date of this order, the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR Council) shall adopt such rules and regulations and issue such orders as are deemed necessary and appropriate to carry out this order. Such rules, regulations, and orders shall minimize the costs of compliance for contractors and shall not interfere with the ability of contractors to engage in advocacy through activities for which they do not claim reimbursement.
Sec. 6. Each contracting department or agency shall cooperate with the FAR Council and provide such information and assistance as the FAR Council may require in the performance of its functions under this order.
Sec. 7. (a) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(b) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
Sec. 8. This order shall become effective immediately, and shall apply to contracts resulting from solicitations issued on or after the effective date of the action taken by the FAR Council under section 5 of this order.Barack Obama.

|Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress
|(ナルト- ナルティメットポータブル 無幻城の巻, Naruto: Narutimetto Porutaburu: Mugen-jō No Maki)
|Video game info
|Playable on
|PlayStation Portable
|Naruto: Ultimate Ninja
|Release Date
|March 30, 2006
|June 24, 2008
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress was released for the PSP.
In this video game, the player can equip skills and items to four characters of any choice. This release is the full non-modified version of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes, and contains the three characters that were removed, which includes The Third Hokage, Shizune and Kabuto. Both removed stages and the game's Story Mode are now present as well. Additionally, movesets have been updated. Gamers can also select the characters to use Japanese or English voices. Jiraiya and Naruto can use Rasengan, Kakashi can use Lightning Cutter and Sasuke can use Chidori without the use of a secret technique.
While some characters retain their old techniques, others, such as Neji, have theirs upgraded. The game contains an original storyline involving moving up a haunted castle through the eyes of Naruto, and for a certain amount of floors, Gaara, called the Mugen Castle in the sky and has a hundred floors. Each floor has several "unstable" rooms where the users place randomly generated scrolls to determine the type of action that will take place in the room. The scrolls include Battle (a player vs. CPU fight) and five mini game scrolls: Tree Climbing (Naruto dashes up a tree and dodges broken branches), Shadow Possession (style button pressing), Amusement (slot machines), Riddle (Naruto trivia) and Clone (the shell game while trying to follow the real clone). Stable rooms include Treasure Rooms, Healing Rooms and Drama rooms (where the story progresses and cut scenes take place). Hidden Mugen Castle Mode is unlocked after completing Mugen Castle Mode. It involves viewing through the eyes of Jiraiya who is accompanied by Tsunade, Shizune, and Kakashi (temporarily) and going down Mugen Castle 30 floors (from the stairs leading below that were hidden in the first floor by a False Surroundings Technique) to the cauldron where the vitality is stored. Previously, Jiraiya couldn't make it alone due to a seal that required at least four ninja to release. Other game modes include Vs. CPU and a wireless battle mode where the player can fight against a friend using only one UMD (but two PSPs).

EPA on School Siting
Source: EnvironMentors/NCSE.
This article, written by Bob Weinhold*, appeared first in Environmental Health Perspectives—the peer-reviewed, open access journal of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
The article is a verbatim version of the original and is not available for edits or additions by Encyclopedia of Earth editors or authors. Companion articles on the same topic that are editable may exist within the Encyclopedia of Earth.
School Siting: EPA Says Location Matters
Fifty-three million U.S. children and 6 million employees spend much of the day in a public or private school.1 Pollution problems in these settings are so widespread that the Congress mandated in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develop model guidelines for choosing healthier sites for new schools. On 17 November 2010, the agency released a draft of its new voluntary guidelines.1,2
About 1,900 new schools were built in the 2008–2009 school year, according to the EPA, continuing a relatively similar construction trend since 20023 and bringing the total number of public and private schools to about 135,000.1 The number of existing schools in settings that could be harmful to children is unknown, says Peter Grevatt, director of the EPA Office of Children's Health Protection.
The guidelines are designed mainly for use in siting new primary and secondary (K–12) schools, but the principles behind the guidelines could be adapted for many other existing and new settings where children spend long periods. They cover a wide range of topics, including toxicity on the school site and from nearby properties; other health-related issues such as bicycle and pedestrian access to increase student exercise; maximizing community use of the school; and minimizing disruption of relatively undisturbed environments.
Jason Hartke, vice president of national policy for the U.S. Green Building Council, is generally pleased with the congressional mandate and EPA's actions so far. "There is a strong need for EPA guidelines," he says. "This is another really important tool in the toolbox" for creating healthier schools.
Stephen Lester, science director for the Center for Health, Environment & Justice, also is generally supportive: "There's a lot of good information in these guidelines." But he says they offer too much wiggle room for allowing schools to be built on toxic sites, such as Superfund properties. He'd rather see language that sanctions such decisions only as a very last resort. That's important, he says, because school districts "never have enough money for monitoring and maintenance," even if the original planning, design, and engineering for mitigating toxicity problems were deemed acceptable. He also would prefer a no-exceptions guideline that directs use of the more-protective cleanup standard for residential use for all school sites.4
A broader concern is that many school districts may choose to ignore the voluntary guidelines. Interest in environmental health issues "is very spotty," Lester says, especially when so many other issues—including site availability, zoning, and cost—are high priorities. Even in the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) voluntary certification process for schools,5 toxicity issues account for only 10 of the 110 optional points.6
The public can comment on the draft guidelines until 18 February 2011. A final version is scheduled for release in late 2011.

6. The LEED baseline criteria stipulate that old landfill sites should be completely avoided and that contamination from other former uses should be cleaned up to meet the most stringent appropriate standard. One point is available for siting a school on a remediated brownfield site, which critics such as Lester say should be done only as a last resort. Nine points are available for reducing vehicle use to lessen emissions or increase student exercise via bicycling or walking. Eight points are available for meeting other site criteria addressed by the EPA guidelines, such as utilizing existing roads and utilities, avoiding 100-year floodplains, protecting or restoring habitat, and encouraging joint community use of school facilities.

Destination Kent State
Destination Kent State is a three-part orientation program designed for first-year students to familiarize them with Kent State University, and provide them with the tools necessary to enjoy a successful journey to graduation.
Advising and Registration: All admitted freshmen are required to attend Destination Kent State to register for their first semester courses. Students admitted for the summer and fall semester and their parents are invited to campus for a one-and-a-half day orientation to Kent State beginning in June. Freshmen admitted for the spring semester attend a one-day orientation to Kent State in November or January. The primary goals of Destination Kent State: Advising and Registration are to acquaint students and family members with university programs and services; provide an individual advising session for each student; and register students for first semester classes.
Family programming is also available to assist families in partnering with their student and Kent State to make a successful transition to college. Families are welcome to stay overnight on campus during the summer program. Special program opportunities are designed for adult students and those who will need to register in absentia.
Welcome Weekend is a required three-day orientation program that occurs the weekend prior to the start of the fall semester. All new students are required to participate in the weekend events. The weekend is designed as an opportunity for students to become familiar with their new surroundings and gain valuable information and skills to prepare them for their new academic, co-curricular and extracurricular journey. Special program opportunities are designed for transfer, adult and commuter students. Students who enroll for the spring semester are also invited to attend an orientation program offered to students prior to the beginning of the spring semester.
The First Year Experience course (US 10097) is designed to assist students in making a successful academic transition to the university through experiential and/or intellectually engaged discipline-based content.
Faculty and student instructors, academic advisors and professional staff assist students in understanding Kent State's expectations for a university community, as well as the academic requirements of the university and college. Students enrolled in the FYE course also have an opportunity to select from a variety of workshops offered through the Student Success Series to fulfill course requirements.
The FYE course is required of all new freshman and transfer students with 24 or fewer semester hours and who are 20 years or younger at the time of their initial Kent State University enrollment.

- Written by Los Altos Town Crier
Construction at odds with 'quaint' town
"Welcome to Los Altos. The tree-lined streets, lush with green hues in summer and verdant colors in fall, evoke the quaint, village atmosphere of small-town America. Originally an agricultural town with many summer cottages, Los Altos is now an affluent bedroom community with several distinctive features. An upscale community just 40 miles south of San Francisco." (Source: www.losaltos.com.)
"Commercial zones are strictly limited to the downtown district as well as the area and small shopping and office parks lining Foothill and El Camino Real. Excellent schools and proximity to coastal foothills make it one of the area's premier cities." (Source: Wikipedia.)
This sounds like the perfect place to raise a family. How distant this notion will be with the construction of a three-story, industrial medical center just steps away from many of the "quaint single-family homes" and neighborhood elementary school. Parents will never again feel the ease and comfort of allowing their children to walk a block to school, skate out on their sidewalks, throw a baseball in their front yards, go on a leisurely evening walk with the dog or skip to a friend's house.
Commercial businesses, their owners and employees do not monitor business activity to ensure a quaint atmosphere. As an alternative to the proposed plan, single-family homes on the Pilgrim Haven property would preserve the look and feel of Los Altos as it was meant to be.

Pilgrim Haven a 'valued asset'
We have lived on Yerba Buena Avenue (off Los Altos Avenue) for almost 43 years. Our sons used to walk or ride their bicycles up to the orchards and open space that once bordered Pilgrim Haven. With the passage of time, housing took over the orchards and open space.
Of course, with housing and the passage of time, and as the population of Los Altos has grown, the need for facilities to house and care for our senior citizens (including those with Alzheimer's disease) has also grown. Pilgrim Haven is seeking to address this need.
Pilgrim Haven is doing its very best to accommodate the needs of the surrounding community. It is recognized that during the construction period every effort must be made not to impact the neighborhood. Also, the final structures must conform to the looks of the surrounding neighborhoods. This Pilgrim Haven has done through the Draft Environmental Impact Report.
We believe Pilgrim Haven is a valued asset for Los Altos and that it should be allowed to grow to better serve the community.

Junior Olympics show 'Personal Best'
The Los Altos School District hosted its 49th annual Junior Olympics April 25 at Mountain View High School. As co-chairwomen of the event, we are compelled to write to express our sincere gratitude to this wonderful community for pulling together and making it a huge success.
From the beginning stages of planning with our amazing district committee to planning with the staff at Mountain View High School and coordinating with literally hundreds of parent and middle and high school volunteers – and the professionals at LASD who went beyond the call of duty to support the event – we tip our hats to you. And especially to our student athletes, who demonstrated sportsmanship and the finest Olympic spirit, we congratulate you.
This "only in Los Altos" event is truly unique. At times it seems impossible and frustrating, but it is so worth every ounce of stress, sweat and perseverance. We are proud to be part of a community that cares so much for our kids that we continue to do it every year. "Personal Best" is our athletes' motto, the theme of our committee and, we believe, a reflection of Los Altos as a whole.

Peace Study courses needed?
It is imperative to have Peace Study courses in our schools and to replace violent sports like football, boxing and wrestling with lifetime sports such as swimming, golf, baseball or social dancing. James Michener's book "Sports in America" is a great reference.
In today's world, Peace Studies should be the No. 1 requirement. All the Ph.D.s in the world will not matter if we do not survive as a species. Someone said you could have a dozen doctorates and still flunk life.
One must do more than pray for peace – one must work for peace. Including Peace Studies and Education for Peace is vital for the survival of humanity.

Even a casual music fan can recognize the name Fender. Over the years this brand has become synonymous with popular music, crafting some of the world's most recognizable instruments for the world's greatest players. Sought after by hobbyists, professionals, and collectors alike, Fender is in a class on its own. Leo Fender founded Fender in 1946 and the company quickly became known for their iconic guitars like the Telecaster and Stratocaster. Over the years they also began producing acoustic guitars that quickly rose to prominence for their wonderful tones and solid construction.
If you're not convinced by the hype that a Fender acoustic is right for you, a quick look at the list of artists who play Fender acoustics should have you believing! Artists such as Dick Dale, Tim Armstrong of Rancid, Duane Peters of U.S. Bombs, Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio, Ron Emory of T.S.O.L., Wayne Kramer of MC5, Avril Lavigne, and The King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley have all strummed away on Fender acoustics over the years.
Fender makes acoustic guitars for every kind of player. If you're a beginner, check out options such as the Fender DG-60 Acoustic Guitar or the CD100 Acoustic Guitar. Instruments such as these offer durable construction and rich tones, making them fantastic entry points for aspiring musicians. If you're a lefty, Fender offers the CD100 Left- Handed Acoustic Guitar, which means you can learn your craft without the added hassle of playing a right handed guitar strung upside down. Maybe you're interested in performing with an instrument that pays tribute to your favorite band or artist? If so, the Alkaline Trio Malibu Mahogany Acoustic Guitar or the Ron Emory Loyalty Slope Shoulder Acoustic-Electric Guitar might be what you're after. Guitars such as these are made with input from the artists they are designed for, giving you the opportunity to capture their signature sound.
Fender has built a reputation as a name you can trust. With years of experience, they know how to make a guitar sound its best. Whether you are in your music room or out on the road, a Fender acoustic guitar will always keep you in tune.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21ALIVE) --- Fort Wayne Democratic Mayor Tom Henry stokes the fires of a contentious debate, vetoing a Republican council initiative seeking to cut collective bargaining rights for city union workers.
Henry says he will instruct the city attorney's office to look into whether there is anything the mayor's administration can do for city employees if council overrides his veto.
He says it's "virgin territory" and his office must sit down and figure out what the options are.
Will the issue have an impact on next year's city elections?

KENT, Ohio-Kent State's offense wasn't perfect during an intra-squad scrimmage at Dix Stadium on Saturday, but it showed signs of finally balancing the scales against its defensive counterparts that have dominated in the past.Sophomore quarterback Spencer Keith and classmate Dri Archer accounted for most of the damage. Keith completed 14-of-29 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown while Archer led all ball carriers with 107 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries."I've just been really pleased with our offense this spring," said head coach Doug Martin. "In the past we haven't been able to run the ball effectively against our defense in the spring. We haven't been able to create many explosion plays and all of a sudden those things are happening for us."The offense managed at least 16 plays that went for 10 yards or more. Archer accounted for five of those, which included his 30-yard touchdown run."The offensive line was opening some holes for me and I was just getting what I could get," Archer said. "I made a few people miss and earned every yard I could earn."Junior Jacquise Terry added 90 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown and sixth-year senior Eugene Jarvis added 10 yards rushing on seven carries.Martin said a change in offensive philosophy has opened up the field for more players to contribute and make big plays."I think getting away from the spread offense is a positive for us," he said. "We're getting back into more what we were when I first came here with (Josh) Cribbs. We're more of a one-back West Coast style of team. That's been a positive."Junior Sam Kirkland has continued to impress his coaches and teammates this spring. He caught three passes for 50 yards and one touchdown, a 25-yarder from Keith on the offense's seventh possession of the day. Kirkland beat Leon Green and Norman Wolfe on the play."He made a good play," Keith said. "The safety came over right when I threw the post and Sam went up and got there. That kind of saved me there. It was a great catch."The special teams were just as effective as the offense.Junior punter Matt Rinehart averaged 46 yards on four punts and sophomore kicker Freddy Cortez converted 1-of-2 field goal opportunities and was a perfect 3-for-3 in point after attempts.The defense had its moments, too.Senior safety Brian Lainhart picked off a pass while Wolfe led the team with eight tackles and also broke up a pass and blocked a field goal. Senior linebacker Dorian Wood contributed with six tackles and a sack.Wood said the defense missed some assignments but Archer deserves some of the credit for the offense's big day on the ground."Evidence of that is he was really the only running back that was breaking it, so obviously it must be something on his part, his talent," Wood said. "As far as us, we've just got to learn how to tackle this guy. He's quick. He makes you miss. I know one play I swear I had him in my grasp, next thing I know he's 20 yards behind me still running."Kent State returns to practice on Monday. All practices are closed to the public but the Golden Flashes will conclude spring drills with their spring game on Friday, April 30.Scoring Summary:
