The English department specializes in the study of literature, linguistics, rhetoric, writing, and teaching. Our dynamic and interdisciplinary work fosters an appreciation for the beauty and power of the English language, promotes open inquiry, excites the imagination, and arouses intellectual curiosity. In the tradition of liberal arts education, we promote analytic skills and encourage scholarship from our faculty and students alike. Emphasizing the practical application of knowledge, we empower our students long past graduation and enrich the pleasure they find in reading, writing, and teaching.
The English department examines what readers do when they read and what writers do when they write. Through language and story, humans interpret the past, understand the present and prepare for the future. We believe that the close study of language, writing, and literature should be a transformative experience culminating in literate, articulate, imaginative, and open-minded individuals who can take on roles as responsible citizens in diverse and dynamic communities.
Community focus
Boasting a low student-to-teacher ratio and small classes, UWL's English Department is like "family," according to one graduate reflecting back from her new life in graduate school. Our student-run English Club, campus chapter of the National English Honors Society, and various student-run and -written publications give majors and minors many opportunities to share their passion for reading and writing with each other, the department, and the community.
A practical choice
UWL's English major programs provide an excellent education in the discipline with a credit load that allows for great flexibility in selecting compatible minors or a double major, as well as in exploring various other fields of knowledge through elective coursework. With proper planning, the English major degree is completable in four years. It is also affordable, with eight scholarships available exclusively to English and English Education majors/minors, and with paid internship opportunities on and off campus.
Job-ready experience
"I believe my English major has made me very analytical. I analyze the business environment, my coworkers, and situations that arise to see what is really influencing or causing events. The corporate world often reminds me of a Shakespearean plot line, and I think my English major has helped me look below the surface to see what is really going on." - Kathy (Nelson) Zaininger (1991)
"I use my writing degree every day. Working closely with [my agency's] Executive Team on special events planning and outreach strategies, I create the forms and flyers we use on our social media pages. I assist with ghost writing speeches, grant applications, and the editing of our resource guides. I also oversee our agency website. I love that my skill in communication and language allow me to be a part of so many projects that make our agency successful." -- Jess Witkins (2008)
"Last year, I worked one-on-one with a cab driver to turn his vague memoir idea into the published book it is today, and I don't think there's a single lesson from my UWL creative writing courses that I didn't conjure up. I would have been lost without the foundation UWL provided!" -- Jaime Nelson (2009)

Crowds formed and money seemed to rain from the sky when Tesla began taking deposits for its 200-mile, $35,000 Model 3 electric sedan in the spring.
It will be more than a year before the Model 3 hits the road — and that's if Elon Musk makes good on his promise to deliver the car by late 2017.Read more
Tesla Motors says a version of the Model S electric car is now the quickest production car in the world from zero to 60 miles per hour.
The company says the Model S P100D sedan can go to 60 in 2.5 seconds, besting the luxury performance sedan's previous time in ludicrous mode, a tongue-in-cheek reference to Spaceballs, Mel Brooks' 1987 cult-classic parody of Star Wars.Read more
There is one place where sales of plug-in vehicles are heating up: on the newly used car market.
Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids classified as 1 to 3 years old are some of the hottest sellers and best deals, according to a new study by used car aggregator, iSeeCars.com.Read more
German automaker Volkswagen plans to ramp up its offerings of electric vehicles as it fights to bounce back from a scandal over diesel cars rigged to cheat on emissions tests. The electric campaign is part of a wide-ranging review of the company's strategy that also includes making the company's management more open and trustworthy.Read more
An affordable Tesla will be available before 2018, as long as $66,000 is considered affordable.
The electric car maker reintroduced the Model S 60 today, making it the most affordable model until the $35,000 Model 3 is ready.
"The new Model S 60 is a fundamentally better car at a better value than Tesla has ever offered before," Tesla spokeswoman Keely Sulprizio said via email.Read more
The Elio three-wheeler is getting a taste of the hype elicited by the Tesla Model 3.
People have been waiting nearly two years to get a glimpse of the three-wheeled two-seater with a gas engine that gets an estimated 84 mpg on the highway. And at a pre-production price of about $6,800, you can get a half-dozen for any one Model 3.Read more

Last week, Treehugger posted an article suggesting that ranchers in Brazil were covertly using Agent Orange to illegally clear patches of the rainforest. The article received several comments on most sites where it was syndicated, mostly outraged that this could be occurring; however, there were some that were skeptical.
Agent Orange is a combination of 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D; however, the 2,4,5-T was found to be contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin, also known as TCDD, which is a very toxic dioxin compound. Today, 2,4,5-T is banned in many areas of the world due to the toxicity dangers. It isn't just Agent Orange that is banned, but one of its principle ingredients. Translations via Google of the sites cited by Treehugger never actually claimed that Agent Orange was used or that the entire "Agent Orange" compound was used.

A review of the 3D printer: Printrbot Simple Kit
A review of the Printrbot 3D printer
If you're looking around for 3D printers that are both inexpensive and open source friendly, the Printrbot Simple Kit will probably catch your attention.
This Kit sells for close to $300, and for our team required a full-day of DIY assembly, though skilled makers might be able to put it together in four hours or so. Our team was made up of three PhDs and two R&D engineers, and it took us close to eight hours to complete the assembly, which of course included some philosophical and licensing discussions and a couple of trips to the hardware store. It was indeed a lot of fun!
Because there are multiple models, it is important to verify that you are using the appropriate set of instructions. Detailed step-by-step instructions are available on the Printrbot website.
This printer is a great device for taking your first steps into the world of 3D printing. As we assembled it, it became very clear how the printer works and that knowledge became quite valuable down the road when we were fine-tuning the printer to adjust it to specific objects.
The printer doesn't have it's own software (which is actually a good thing). The following open source programs work well with it:
- OpenSCAD to design objects (and save them in STL files)
- Slic3r to generate G-Code from the STL files (G-Codes define the path in space that the printer head should follow during the print out process)
- Repetier to load STL files, to interface to Slic3r, and to drive the printing process by connecting directly to the printer using the USB port
- ParaView to visualize STL models and to do small retouches (for example, rotating and scaling a model)
With the Printrbot, it is important to start with very simple models and only increase complexity as you get familiar with the printer and its features. A constellation of models can be found in the open repository: Thingiverse.
Our team also found that it is important to spend the time to set up the proper parameters of the printer into the auxiliary programs (Repetier and Slic3r). In particular the bed size and the calibration of the home location for all the motors.
As we watched this printer build 3D models out of molten PLA plastic, there was no doubt that a manufacturing revolution is unfolding before our eyes. Just as the personal computer started the Information Revolution in the 1980s. The best thing we can do is put these printers in the hands of students and teachers so they can experiment and learn, unleashing a whole new world of educational creativity. We will be doing just that during this Spring semester in the Physical Computing class at SUNY Albany.

We just got a PrintrBot Jr V2. It takes a bit or reading up to get up to speed with the terminology. We got the machine pre-assembled, and it came with a sample calibration print on the bed, so there is proof that this thing can actually print and print well.
Getting started with Repetier wasn't difficult. The prints were stringy, but not too bad. Posting on printrbottalk.com was helpful in getting better prints. It reminds me of the ealry days of Linux (which is a good thing) and will certainly lead to plenty of learning by doing. More details at http://commons.sfsu.edu/joy-z-axis
Hi Luis,
Would be happy to do a write up on our Commons Initiative project.
Iv been using the printrbot siple for two months by now. It was about 5 hours assembly, and two days making proper adjustments, calibration and slicer configuration. My results are very good to a very low cost 3D printer. Im currently using rhinocerose 3d to modeling (MAc version is beta and free until the offcial release is done). I recomend the windows version, because have more capabilities and and a newer version of slicr (the program that convers STL to gcode).
I made a few "upgrades", like the Z-axis rode bridge to stability, and replace some of the plastic ties for metal wire, to better support of the rodes. I made a set of pods for stability.
I just can say im very satisfied with the performance and quality of the Simple, and looking for adquire the upgrade kit (z and x axis increased by almos twice).
if you like, visit my thingiverse profile, iv been adding a couple of thingies: http://www.thingiverse.com/chicuco/designs

One of the most important medical conferences in North America focusing on the field of Infertility Medicine was hosted by Charleston's own Coastal Fertility Specialists. The Donor Egg Meeting returned to Charleston, Feb. 28 – March 3.
The Donor Egg Meeting is a symposium which focuses on the technology of egg donation and third party reproduction (surrogates and gestational carriers) in the treatment of infertility, as well as advancements in the field.
A nationally recognized panel of doctors, scientists and other health professionals addressed reproductive endocrinologists, lab professionals, nurses and mental health professionals in this rapidly expanding segment of In Vitro fertilization.
With progressive medical and legal considerations surrounding the donation of a woman's eggs and the freezing of eggs for future fertility options, Reproductive Endocrinologists John Schnorr, MD and Michael Slowey, MD, co-founders of Coastal Fertility Specialists joined the nationally recognized faculty of experts presenting cutting-edge technologies and advancements in the treatment and preservation of fertility.
With these latest advancements, come more legal and ethical considerations for providers and patients alike.
Joining the team of medical professionals were legal fertility expert Susan Crockin and other notable attorneys for a well-rounded discussion.
This three-day Continuing Medical Education accredited event allowed practitioners from across the country to enjoy the best city in the country while learning cutting edge technology.

If you would like to sneak a little learning into your child's summer activities then the Dorchester Two Parent Involvement Centers can help.
The district has three centers and all are keeping summer hours to continue their mission of providing parents with tools they can use to enhance their children's learning through play. Parent Involvement Centers are located at Spann, Knightsville and Windsor Hill Arts Infused elementary schools and open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on select days this summer.
"We serve as a library for parents," said Linda Huggins of the Spann Parent Involvement Center. "They can come here and check out additional resources to help children with what they learn in the classroom. In addition to books we have math games, LeapPads and Hot Dot Pens with flash cards to help them learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and fractions. We have a lot of games that families can use together. That is our purpose; to get families to connect and to work together."
The centers also sponsor group activities that support academic standards. During the school year they offer story time for preschoolers approximately once a month.
This summer story time is scheduled from 9-10 a.m. on July 10 and July 31 at the Spann location.
Much of the material is geared toward early childhood education, but the centers also offer items appealing to older students and even adults. Huggins says the Brainchild handheld games are popular with students while several parents have taken advantage of the centers' Rosetta Stone online service.
"Rosetta Stone is a valuable tool for a parent wanting to learn a language," she said. "We've had a parent use it to learn Japanese and this summer we have a parent using it to learn Spanish. It can be a great resource for someone moving here from another country who wants to learn English."
The centers are available to any parent with a child in a Dorchester Two school as well as to teachers.
During the school year, the Spann center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. The Knightsville center is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8-3 and the Windsor Hill center is open Tuesday and Thursday from 8-3.
For more information on the Parent Involvement Centers, email Huggins at email@example.com">email@example.com.
Parent Involvement Center Summer Hours
Spann: 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. July 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 and 31.
KES: 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. July 11, 18, 25 and Aug. 1

From staff reports
LEWISTOWN - Students at Sacred Heart School prepared for and participated in a Seder meal in recognition of Holy Thursday.
The Seder is the ritual meal that takes place in Jewish homes on the first night of Passover. The service, which commemorates the night God delivered the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt, involves the recitation of special prayers and consumption of symbolic foods. The Last Supper of Jesus with his apostles was a Passover Seder.

Sacred Heart School students, from left, Blake Bender, Brando Souders, Kaela Meyer, Abbey Davis, Frankie Pannizzo, Frances Fitzgerald, Destiny Sylvester and Adam Sheetz participate in a Seder meal Thursday at the school.
During the meal, Jesus taught that he is the Lamb of God, the perfect sacrifice to the Father, which frees people from slavery and death. During Catholic Mass, parts of the Last Supper are re-enacted. Some of the gestures and prayers of Mass come from the Seder service.
The students learned more about why some parts of Mass are still performed today and how Jesus celebrated his Last Supper before his crucifixion, death, and resurrection.

Don Beebe doesn't go through the agonizing wait of his former Buffalo Bills teammate Andre Reed every year at Super Bowl time, waiting to find out if he'll be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But a remarkable play that Beebe made 20 years ago in Super Bowl XXVII is recalled almost as much as any championship highlight of Jerry Rice, John Stallworth or Lynn Swann.
The Bills were trailing the Dallas Cowboys, 52-17, in the fourth quarter when Dallas' Leon Lett recovered a fumble and headed toward the end zone, but started celebrating with the ball before crossing the goal line. Beebe streaked down the field and knocked the ball from Lett's hands, causing it to roll through the end zone and be ruled a touchback. The play had little bearing on the outcome of the game, but a large impact on the way Beebe is remembered for his never-quit attitude.
Beebe and Lett will be reunited today on CBS, during Phil Simms' "All-Iron Team" show (1 p.m., Ch. 4). Beebe said in a phone interview this past week that during that game, he had no idea the play would be so memorable.
"When you're getting beat 52-17 in the Super Bowl or any game, you're not in a very good mood," he said. "When I ran down and made that play, the last thing I thought about was good things that might come from the play. I just thought that was what I was supposed to do."
Beebe does appreciate, though, how unlikely it was for the play to unfold as it did. For one thing, he said, instant replay had been discontinued that season — it would return to the NFL in 1999. He thought the play could have been called a touchdown if it was reviewable.
"I'm thinking to myself, 52-17, 59-17, who cares?," Beebe said. "Give 'em a touchdown! Why would they make that call?"
And, Beebe said, there were a couple of defensive teammates running near Lett who never saw Beebe coming. "All they had to do was see me and divert me one step and I never" would have made the play. "But how they didn't see me — it's crazy. … You could call it faith-based or lining up with the stars or however you want to look at it. This play happened for a reason."
Beebe said the play has given both him and Lett "such a great platform to speak to kids. And I firmly believe, God has used that play in so many different ways to impact people."
Beebe works as a high school football coach for Aurora (Ill.) Christian School, outside of Chicago. His brother, David, is the team's defensive coordinator and Don's son, Chad, was a wide receiver who will play at Northern Illinois in the fall.
Aurora Christian has won two straight Class 3A state titles in Illinois. The team has won 12 of its last 13 playoff games.
"I've been coaching — this is going on my 10th year and my son has been on the team the last two years," Beebe said. "It was neat that, me and him, we never had to walk off the football field as losers. In his junior and senior year, he never had to cry."
Beebe last year wrote a book about his unlikely NFL career, called "Six Rings From Nowhere." (The book is available through DonBeebe.com.) Beebe walked into an NFL pro day at Chadron State College, the tiny NAIA school in Nebraska where he played. He impressed the scouts with his blazing speed, was invited to the NFL combine and ended up being the Bills' first selection in the 1989 draft.
The "six rings" of the book' title refers to Beebe's jewelry collection: four AFC conference championship rings acquired with the Bills, one NFC ring with the Green Bay Packers, and the ultimate — a Super Bowl ring he earned with the Packers after the 1996 season.
Beebe also partnered with a company called Big Talk Media to make a documentary about "The Play." Lett spent some time in the Chicago area last fall, taping segments with Beebe for the program.
The two former players "went back to my mom and dad's living room and interviewed" his parents, Beebe said. "It was really some great footage. We're actually going to go back to the Rose Bowl and do a re-enactment of the play. Not live, obviously, and not running — we're just going to walk through it."
The documentary is expected to be finished by spring. Beebe said discussions are in the works with various TV outlets.
"It's my version and" Lett's version of things, Beebe said. "We're coming from two completely different perspectives. He's telling kids that he made a mistake, but do things the right way and you can live with the result. And I'm telling kids that, yeah, do it the right way and you can live with the result, win or lose — and I lost. Leon made the mistake and I didn't. I think it's really going to impact so many people."

Appartment is very good located and has space enough for 4 to 5 people (one bedroom for adults, the other bedroom rather for 2-3 kids). Great is tennis-court and pool on the rooftop with amazing few.
The price was rather high and for this, in our opinion all details shoud be perfect (like dishwashing machine must work correctly, all lights should work, no broken chairs).
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
Thank you for the great apartment. It has a great location to public transportation. Everything you need is available (great kitchen, washer, dryer, balcony, ...). The rooftop pool is awesome. Here you have a beautiful view. On the way to the station you pass a supermarket. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival. Would highly recommend it and would like to stay here again at any time. Again a big thank you to Peter, keep it up.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Apartment. Es hat eine super Lage zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden (tolle Küche, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Balkon, …). Der Pool auf dem Dach ist genial. Hier hat man eine schöne Aussicht. Auf dem Weg zur Bahn kommt man an einem Supermarkt vorbei. Alles war bei der Ankunft sauber und gepflegt. Kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde hier jederzeit wieder übernachten wollen. Nochmal ein großer Danke an Peter, weiter so.
Beautiful apartment, 2 bedrooms, spacious living room. Good equipment appliances. Swimming pool, gym: real benefits. Apartment located in Sydney as close to the Central Station. It is located in an area where quality of life is quiet and pleasant. Warning, the district lacks some shops and we must take precautions before returning.
Bel appartement, 2 belles chambres, séjour spacieux. Bon équipement en électroménager. Piscine, Tennis, salle de sport : de réels avantages. Appartement bien situé dans Sydney car proche de la gare centrale. Il est localisé dans un quartier de qualité où la vie est calme et très agréable. Attention, le quartier manque un peu de commerces de proximité et il faut donc prendre ses précautions avant de rentrer.
The apartment has a great location and very good size and well distributed. However, should the three beds thicker mattresses. We were there with five adults, which was for three in the small room very cramped. One should add to the description that it is for 2 adults and up to 3 children. With the key service and has all super geklappt.Vielen thanks.
Das Apartment hat eine Top-Lage und ist sehr schön groß und gut aufgeteilt. Allerdings dürften die drei Betten dickere Matratzen haben. Wir waren dort mit fünf Erwachsenen, das war für die drei im kleinen Zimmer schon sehr beengt. Man sollte zur Beschreibung hinzufügen, dass es für 2 Erwachsene und bis 3 Kinder gilt. Mit dem Schlüssel und Service hat alles super geklappt.Vielen Dank dafür.
Fabulous apartment, very spacious and clean, with a gorgeous view of the bridge and cityscape, lovely little touches by the host made us feel at home, very secure building and parking made all the difference I will definitely be booking this apartment again in the future
amazing views of sidney
Very nice spacious apartment with a fantastic view of Sydney. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
Apartment very well located, the whole town can be done on foot
The downside is that this is the same street is very busy and noisy at night.
The pool and rooftop jacuzzi its a real plus
Everything conforms to the description on the website (missing a few dishes when we are still 5)
I highly recommend
Appartement très bien situé, toute la ville peut se faire à pied
L'inconvénient c'est que de ce fait la rue est très passagère et bruyante même la nuit.
La piscine et le jacuzzi sur le toit son un réel plus
Tout est conforme à la description faite sur le site (manque un peu de vaisselle quand même lorsqu'on est 5)
Je recommande vivement
The apartment was great, the views of the Sydney skyline from the balcony simply stunning! Key collection (pick up at the reception of a hotel) worked without problems.
The apartment itself is decorated very spacious and comfortable, modern and chic 4 adults, only the baths date back to an earlier era ... would be renovated. Very good beds, air conditioning works great. We would come back!
Das Apartment war toll, der Blick auf die Skyline von Sydney vom Balkon einfach atemberaubend! Die Schlüsselübergabe (Abholung am Empfang eines Hotels) funktionierte unproblematisch.
Das Apartment selbst ist für 4 Erwachsene sehr geräumig und komfortabel, modern und chic eingerichtet, nur die Bäder stammen noch aus einer älteren Ära... müssten mal renoviert werden. Sehr gute Betten, Klimaanlage funktioniert hervorragend. Wir würden wiederkommen!
- Quality assured accommodation

The official announcement came as part of last week's Tomahawk School Board meeting, barely receiving the hype it actually deserved: The Harley-Davidson Foundation, through the recommendation of its Tomahawk Plant Contributions Committee, had agreed to replace the laminate floor in the Tomahawk Elementary School fieldhouse with a much safer wood-based gymnasium floor.
Harley-Davidson will contribute $165,000 – the total cost of the project!
Word had it that, while Harley-Davidson wanted to receive its well-deserved recognition, it also wanted to be sure the light shone brightly on the Hatchet Booster Club, which had spearheaded the fledgling fund-raising drive and did a lot of legwork helping to meet any foundation requirements needed to secure the funding. The two worked very closely, both Dave Duncan, Booster president, and Mike Heerhold, general manager, Harley-Davidson Tomahawk Operations, quickly acknowledged.
What can one say about such generosity by a locally-based business? Comments made at the board meeting, like being "really, really blessed," "awesome gift" and "kind of boggles the imagination," don't begin to put the gesture into perspective.
Health concerns about stress fractures and other athletic injuries were at the crux of the wish-list item that was being passed from one budget year to the next. The Tomahawk School District simply didn't have the funds for such a large capital outlay, so the Booster Club stepped into the picture. And, then Harley-Davidson wanted to join the team and stepped to the plate with a homerun.
This isn't the first time our corporate neighbor and large employer has come to bat for local needs. Back when our Tomahawk Public Library was a $1.1 million dream in the making, Harley-Davidson stepped forward and authorized $200,000 in matching funds. The ultimate $400,000 raised help make that facility a reality.
Thank you, Harley-Davidson.

Look Up For Power Lines and Stay Safe
Safe Electricity Urges Caution and Awareness
Things we see every day can almost fade from view. But failure to notice high voltage power lines can be a deadly oversight. Safe Electricity wants to raise awareness about the dangers of overhead power lines and the precautions to take around them.
Often when we undertake outdoor activities, we don't even think about power lines. Taking a few moments to become aware of your surroundings is a critical step to keeping yourself and your loved ones safe.
Safe Electricity encourages everyone to follow these guidelines as they prepare to work outdoors this year:
Another instance where people often come in contact with power lines is through vehicle crashes. In accidents that bring down power lines, our instincts tell us to flee danger. However, it's almost always best to stay in your vehicle and wait for help.
If you must get out because of fire or another danger, jump clear of the vehicle without touching it and the ground at the same time. Then hop with feet together —don't run or stride. Electricity spreads out through the ground in ripples, like a stone dropped in water. The voltage is highest in the ring closest to the vehicle and decreases with distance. Hop with feet together so that one foot won't be in a higher voltage zone than another, which could make you a conductor for electricity.
If you come upon, or witness an accident involving toppled power poles and lines, don't leave your vehicle to approach the accident scene. Often our inclination is to step in and help those in danger and offer assistance to the injured. However, in accidents involving power poles, the best thing you can do is call for help. Wait for trained assistance to arrive, or you could become an additional victim in need of rescue.

The Rock gets a free Nokia Lumia 1020 before it launches, directly from Nokia
0. phoneArena 20 Jul 2013, 00:53 posted on
A Tweet from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson reveals that the former University of Miami Hurricane gridiron star turned wrestler turned actor is now the proud owner of the Nokia Lumia 1020; you might ask yourself how that is possible since the phone won't ship from AT&T until Tuesday. It turns out that Nokia made a personal delivery of the phone right to Johnson's gym...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

How about give a phone to someone who actually needs one? The corporate world annoys me. If Nokia gave out even phone someone in need, I would respect them... but when I see "The Rock" flashing a phone (like he cant afford to buy all of them) to improve their falling "image", it makes me annoyed at them and Nokia's image suddenly diminishes even more.

This is lame thinking. Work be famous if you want free. I am really upset when people think like this. I conclude you are just jealous........
63. grapeseed87 (Posts: 123; Member since: 13 Mar 2013)
He doesn't seem jealous? What are you saying?
He is just asking Nokia to give away phones to those who really need it. That makes total sense. They don't have to give away exclusive ones. But they can totally give away the Asha or low end Lumia's to those who need it.

If I get you right, one shouldn't pay to his AD aired huh. Nokia here is kinda paying him because he's (potentially) gonna help them get more sells. Common sense, About promos, they're simply targeting large markets which you would do were you to be in their shoes.

To the people whining : Its all about publicity. High profile stars are comped loads of various items. I'd bet big money people that you don't see cause they're behind the scenes don't get those benefits. Dwayne Johnson is enormous and I applaud Nokia for having the wherewithal to choose him. Its a smart move for Nokia.

When the first pitch is thrown at Patricia Wilson Field Friday to begin the Stetson Lead-Off Classic, Hatter softball head coach Frank Griffin will have officially started his 18th season on the job. During the previous 17 seasons, Griffin has guided Stetson to unprecedented success, amassing 574 total wins, to go along with five 40-win seasons, an NCAA Tournament appearance and an Atlantic Sun Conference Championship. Now the most tenured coach in program history is close to making some history of his own, becoming only the 40th head coach in Division I softball history to reach the 800-win plateau.
"I'm looking forward to it and looking forward to moving on beyond that," Griffin said of his approaching milestone. "I am very fortunate to have been at only two universities."
Before his current post in DeLand, Griffin was the head coach at Winthrop for seven seasons, winning 225 games and managing a dozen losses or fewer in six of his seven years there.
"At both universities I had the ability to recruit because the product was so good, and that's especially true here at Stetson with the high quality of academics," Griffin said.
A common thread between Griffin's time in South Carolina and Florida has been his association with Vanessa Bataille, who played for Griffin for four years at Winthrop and is now in her 15th season assisting Griffin at Stetson.
"Playing for him and now coaching with him has been a blessing and a tremendous honor," Bataille said. "He is and has always been a winner. Through the years he has continued to challenge himself to further develop his own philosophy, while staying current on new tendencies in our sport and examining what strategies may best suit his current roster."
That tireless effort has paid off for Griffin as he has continued to average more than 30 wins per year from his first decade on the job to his second. The second longest tenured coach in the A-Sun has amassed 11 seasons of 30 or more victories and five total years with 40 or more wins.
Griffin begins his quest for victory No. 800 this weekend at the seventh annual Stetson Lead-Off Classic as the Hatters host Michigan State and Rhode Island at Patricia Wilson Field. Stetson and Michigan State will square off first at 4 p.m. Friday, and then the Hatters will take on Rhode Island at 6 p.m. Three games are on the slate for Saturday as the Rams and Spartans play at 1:30 p.m., followed by Stetson and Rhode Island at 4 p.m. The Hatters and Spartans round out Saturday's action with a 6:30 p.m. game. The final game of the tournament is scheduled for Sunday between Michigan State and Rhode Island at 12 p.m.
Season tickets start at just $55 and can be purchased at the Patricia Wilson ticket window or online at GoHatters.com/tix. Subscription based live video of the Stetson games will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.

A standing ovation from her crew greeted Robin Roberts at the door of the ABC Times Square studio of Good Morning America, even before the sun rose Wednesday – exactly five months after the anchor had a bone marrow transplant to treat myelodysplastic syndrome, or MDS, a rare blood disorder.
Outside, in the street, a crowd of fans had already gathered with placards, banners and even an ebullient fellow from Dallas waving what he called the world's largest wristband, hailing his heroine. It read, "Welcome Back Robin."
Once the show hit the air, Roberts, with her colleagues surrounding her, looked into the camera, broke into a great big smile, and announced: "Hi, it's Robin. I've been waiting 174 days to do this: Good Morning America!"
Said her co-anchor George Stephanopoulos: "We've been waiting for that drumroll. It is official now. Welcome back, Robin."
From Jimmy Kimmel and Bradley Cooper, sitting at Kimmel's talk show desk in Hollywood: "Welcome back, girlfriend." Also chiming in as the show played on: Oprah Winfrey, and then Hillary Clinton, who said good-naturedly she had no job prospects at the moment so would be free to watch Roberts.
The rival Today show sent a gift basket and made a significant donation to the charity that facilitates finding bone-marrow matches.
And from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: "Good morning, America, and welcome back, Robin," said President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama sitting with him.
"Robin," said Mrs. Obama, "we just want you to know that the whole Obama family, we've been thinking about you, and praying for you, and rooting for you every step of the way."
"You've been an inspiration to all of us," said the President, "and we couldn't be happier that you're back here, doing what you do best."
Said Roberts, 52 – besides claiming she wasn't wearing the froggy slippers she had sported around her apartment ("Or, am I?" she said) – "I keep pinching myself and I realize that this is real. This is really happening.
"Faith, family and friends have brought me to this moment and I am so full of gratitude."
Her medical team was introduced later in the show. Before that, Roberts said, "There's so many people that I want to thank throughout the morning, my doctors and nurses and family and colleagues and people who have sat in this chair and those who have blazed the trail before me."
"As my mother said, 'We all have something.' Everyone's story has purpose and meaning and value, and I share this morning, this day of celebration with everyone."
She added later, after witnessing an impromptu jam session taking place in her honor outside the studio, "Our viewers have been incredible."
Roberts recently received the all-clear from her doctors, as tests have shown no abnormalities and she has continued to gain strength. She had already been back in the studio, doing a series of dry runs before her official return Wednesday.
A special edition of 20/20 on Feb. 22 will offer a behind-the-scenes look at Roberts's experience and those who have been inspired by her example.

Steady milk production growth continues
Steady milk production growth continues
For back-to-back years, U.S. milk output rose by a remarkably uniform 1.8 percent. However, unlike 2010 when higher production gains fell solely on improved milk per cow, the nation's dairy herd expanded by 75,000 head or 0.8 percent last year. That marks the first expansion in cow numbers since 2008, the USDA estimated in year-end statistics released in late February. Among the top 10 dairy states, Texas passed Minnesota to take seventh place. This also marks the sixth straight year that New Mexico has paced the country in milk per cow at 24,854. Washington is firmly in second place.
which will appear in the March 10, 2012 issue of Hoard's Dairyman.

For the Mirror
After four weeks of disappointment, there were beaming faces all around the Altoona Mountain Lions' locker room Friday night.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
Altoona's Jake Diviney takes off with a pass reception past Hempfield's Max Adams on Friday night.
The reason was simple: The Mountain Lions were 17-14 winners over Hempfield in a WPIAL Class AAAA Foothills Conference game that made homecoming night especially happy.
"It was nice to see smiles on the kids' faces after so many frustrating frowns," Altoona coach John Franco said. "That was the best part of tonight."
Franco called the game strange, noting the number of penalties that hampered both teams.
"We'd make a great play ... an interception return, and it would be called back," he said. "We made plays that kept being called back, and it was a tough game to play in because you were always in strange situations.
"But, what was good about it ... I think, in the past, our kids might have folded, but no matter what went against them tonight, they toughed it out and kept getting tougher.
"They weren't going to be denied, found a way to win this game, and that was very heartening to me."
Altoona had trouble running the ball - both teams did - but quarterback Brennan Luciano had a solid night throwing, completing 9-of-11 for 128 yards. Jake Diviney was his favorite target, grabbing seven for 64 yards.
"It feels great," Luciano said. "We should be 5-1. We're so close, and I'm glad we pulled this one out. It was closer than it should have been, but it feels good to win."
"Luciano took a beating, but he's a tough kid and hung in there," Franco said. "He makes plays and has made tremendous strides."
Altoona scored all of its points in the first half and held off Hempfield's second-half charge to post its second win in six decisions. Hempfield fell to 3-3.
Sophomore James Metzgar's 22-yard field goal gave Altoona 3-0 lead late in the first quarter before Hempfield took a 7-3 advantage on a 3-yard run by Tyler Straka early in the second.
Diviney's 30-yard interception return set up a 2-yard score by Mante Barnes that put the Lions back on top, 10-7.
"It was really exciting to win," Diviney said. "We haven't won [much] the past two years, and I think it was a good character win.
"I should have gone inside and could have had a touchdown," Diviney said of his interception, "but I went outside instead and they got me."
It didn't matter because Barnes scored moments later to regain the lead.
One minute later, a bad snap on a punt attempt resulted in a 23-yard loss and gave Altoona possession at the Spartans' 4. Avery Howsare scored on the next play to make it 17-7 at the half.
Hempfield dominated the time of possession in the second half but didn't score until 3:53 remained in the game. Ty George and Billy Thomas hooked up on a 9-yard TD to cap an 86-yard drive.
The Spartans had one last gasp, getting the ball at their own 12 with 1:01 left, but they ran out of time against the fired-up Altoona defense.
"It feels good to get one at home," standout senior lineman Austin Rosenberry said. "We've been in a slump and it was good to get a victory.
"Our offense came out strong the first half and the defense played well the first half," Rosenberry said, "but we knew if we wanted to win our defense had to step up in the fourth quarter, and we did."
Game notes: Lions visit Latrobe next Friday. ... Rick Auker, class of 1961 and a former quarterback, was the Lions' honorary captain. ... Meghan Sinisi, representing the majorettes, was crowned homecoming queen at the half.

Bitchpatcher is a term for a dispatcher who is a bitch and who works in the bitchpatch office instead of the dispatch office.
I cannot believe the behavior and attitude of the bitchpatcher that handeled the call when I phoned 911. I hate to think that they pay that cunt a salary.

SOMERSET - The Somerset Area High School girls volleyball team successfully defended its District 5 Class AA title with a 3-0 sweep over Bedford on Thursday night.
The Lady Eagles (16-3), who already owned a pair of three-set victories against Bedford (6-13) in the regular season, once again made short work of their opponents in the district final by scores of 25-14, 25-9, 25-19.
"This was our third go at them, and I think we were pretty well prepared," Somerset coach Alix Rose said. "I know Bedford's record wasn't that great this year, but they came in and fought back and wouldn't give up, which was nice to see."
Jayna Coyle scored 10 kills to lead the Lady Eagles' offense. Maddy Ream made 12 digs, Molly Hoover had four blocks and Julie Barron served up four aces.
"I think what is really neat about our team is that we don't have just one girl who's a standout gun," Rose said. "If they shut one of them down, we just go to the next one. That's what has gotten us through so far this season. I don't think teams know who to block some times because no matter who we give it to, they can hit."
Mikayla Shaffer notched five kills and Lauren Fedorchak contributed five blocks to lead Bedford.
"We couldn't get any thing going in the first two sets," Bedford coach Rodney Berkey said. "We did build some momentum in the third set, but it was too little, too late.
"We had problems with our serve/receive and our first pass up to the setter. I can't take anything away from Somerset. They move extremely well to the ball. We played some good defense at times, but you have to have all aspects, especially at this level against a team like Somerset."
Somerset advances to the PIAA sub-regional round on Saturday at Elk County Catholic High School in St. Marys for the right to move on to the state tournament.
The matches start at 1 p.m. with Somerset playing the District 9 runner-up in the auxiliary gym. The District 9 champion will play the No. 1 seed out of District 8 in the main gym. The two winners will then meet in the sub-regional final.
"We're excited about it," Rose said. "Win or lose, this has been an awesome experience. We're heading up there [today] and staying over night. The girls will really enjoy it and it's one of those things you'll never forget."

Luxury car lease deals: It's a trap!
Lately I've been seeing a lot of lease deals on luxury cars that, on the surface, seem pretty tempting. I mean, why drive a regular old family sedan when you could be stylin' and profilin' in German luxury?
But before you get too excited, it's worth digging down into the numbers a little bit. For instance, I recently saw a deal for a 2013 BMW 328i sedan that'll cost you $369 a month, with $3,844 due at signing.
How is that possible, when monthly payments on a 48-month new-car loan for something like a base Toyota Camry can be $400 or more a month?

Delivery trucks were pulling up to the Cedar Ridge Country Store with Pepsi, Pringles and other essentials over the weekend - a sign the resurrected convenience store and neighborhood landmark is about to reopen.
More shelves need to be stocked, and some final inspections must be passed, but the family operators plan to open their doors just after Thanksgiving.
In spite of some construction delays, "It turned out pretty good," said Raj Dhillon, son of owner Surjit Singh. "The wait definitely made it sweeter."
The rebuilt store has been under construction for several months after a fire ripped through it in the middle of the night July 12, 2009. A jury found Alfredo Torres, 21 at the time, guilty of burning it down.
The exterior is painted a conservative tan, while the interior shows off splashes of purple and orange, inspired by stores Dhillon has seen in the Sacramento area.
"It's the newest thing," he said.
When it reopens, customers can find groceries, along with hot food - such as pizza - in the back. The store has been a fixture in the Cedar Ridge neighborhood since 1939 until the fire.
"It's starting back from zero," Dhillon said. "Let's see how it goes."

The owner of a flood-ravaged mobile home park in Evans has announced he is suing the city over a change in floodplain rules that he says will keep him from reopening the park.
Keith Cowan, owner of Eastwood Village Mobile Home Park, was led to believe that Evans would purchase his property through a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant, but city officials reneged, and the city's new floodplain rules mean it would be too costly to reopen Eastwood, Cowan's lawyers said in a news release on Thursday.
Cowan in his lawsuit said he was relying on the FEMA hazard mitigation grant, and delayed any debris removal in anticipation of the outcome. After Evans chose not to pursue the grant and passed its new flood ordinance, Cowan said it would not make financial sense to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to clear the property, only to spend another several million to meet the city's new code.
News of the lawsuit follows a plea for help from Evans officials earlier this week, who said time is running out before the 208 destroyed homes at Eastwood and Bella Vista Mobile Home Park, which is next door, pose a threat to public health.
Evans officials said they asked the owners of the two parks to remove the sewage-contaminated debris, household hazardous waste, mold and other materials before warmer weather comes in the spring, but the property owners have not complied.
Cowan's lawsuit, filed in Weld District Court in December, states that according to state law, the city cannot pass a regulation that leads to a property's demise if the city allowed it to be there in the first place.
Attorneys with Stinson Leonard Street LLP, a Greenwood Village law firm representing Cowan, argue that by imposing the floodplain regulations, the city of Evans overtook his property. Even so, the city continues to insist that he clean up the property.
The new floodplain rules, finalized in January, move Eastwood into the city's 100-year floodplain instead of a 500-year floodplain, and require the mobile homes to be elevated. The flood boundaries were crafted by FEMA.
Evans City Attorney Scott Krob said the city's actions were lawful and simply adopt federal flood boundaries. He said the city council added the elevation measures to ensure this same disaster doesn't happen again.
Sheryl Trent, Evans' director of community and economic development, said earlier this week that the FEMA hazard mitigation grant would cover 75 percent of the cost for the city to purchase the mobile home parks at pre-flood prices and remove the debris, but nothing could be built on that land afterward.
Trent said the city decided not to pursue the grant because it could not get the funding before spring, and it wouldn't be a prudent use of taxpayer money to invest in land that can't be developed.
Evans is in the process of appealing a different FEMA grant that would reimburse the city for private property debris removal.
FEMA denied the city's first application, saying the threat to public health and safety is not immediate or widespread enough to qualify.
Evans Mayor Lyle Achziger spoke at a news conference to bring attention to the looming health hazards at the two mobile home parks, and wrote a letter to the Governor's Office and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs requesting help.
On Thursday, a smattering of state officials — including Stephanie Donner, executive director of the Governor's Recovery Office, who responded to that letter — were in Evans to present a plan to dole out $62.8 million in federal disaster funds announced in December.
Two programs in the plan were crafted specifically with Evans in mind, Donner said.
One would give financial assistance to the city and the other would give money to the mobile home park owners for removing the flood debris.
But all of the programs presented in the plan on Thursday must get approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development before applications are available, Donner said.
She said she is hoping to hear back from HUD around April, but Achziger said after the meeting that will still be too late.
"I want to be proactive on this, instead of reactive," he said.

House GOP Tax Overhaul Would Cut Capital Gains, Dividend Rates
The top Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means committee is developing a tax overhaul that would cut effective rates on most capital gains and dividends, according to people familiar with the plan, even as it is expected to trim breaks that benefit higher-income earners and establish a new surtax on them.
The plan would spur economic growth in the coming years, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation. The plan's sponsor, Rep. Dave Camp (R., Mich.), hopes its economic benefits will prompt support from lawmakers of both parties and the White House, and convince congressional leaders to take on the politically risky overhaul during 2014.
Mr. Camp is expected to unveil the plan this week.
While prospects for enactment appear dim at the moment, Mr. Camp's plan could become a template for future efforts. The proposal could become a GOP rallying cry even sooner, though, as Republicans have been casting for more pro-growth policies to embrace as they head into the 2014 mid-term elections.
According to the JCT analysis, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, the tax-overhaul plan would increase real GDP by as much as 1.5% to 1.6% a year over the 2014-2023 period.
That translates to as much as $3.4 trillion in additional GDP over a decade, according to a senior GOP aide familiar with the plan. Some of JCT's economic models project less improvement, however.
The plan also could increase labor force participation and private-sector employment compared to present law, according to the analysis. That would translate to up to 1.8 million more private sector jobs, according to the aide.
Mr. Camp has promised to reduce the current seven individual income tax brackets to just two, of 10% and 25%, and his plan does that. Current individual rates range from 10% to 39.6%.
The Camp plan is also expected to reduce or eliminate a number of popular tax breaks, particularly for the wealthy and big businesses, in order to avoid costing the government money.
When higher economic growth from the plan is considered, it could actually raise as much as $700 billion in extra revenue, according to the analysis. But that doesn't take into account some temporary tax provisions that have either expired recently or are set to expire in coming years. The cost of extending them could consume a large chunk of the extra revenue. Still, the extra money could foster bipartisan debate between Democrats who favor public investment and Republicans who want more rate-cutting and deficit reduction.
The plan's provision for capital gains and dividends – while not its centerpiece – would amount to an effective tax reduction.
It would start by eliminating the current top rate of 20% on long-term capital gains and dividends. Capital gains and dividends would be taxed like ordinary wage income. But 40% would be excluded from income for tax purposes, meaning that taxpayers generally would see an effective rate cut on their investment income.
The exclusion – combined with lower tax rates – would tend to benefit lower-income people in particular, although the vast majority of investment income goes to higher earners.
The plan is expected to include a number of tax increases on higher-income earners, in part to help maintain their share of the long-term tax burden as Mr. Camp has promised. For example, the plan would establish a 10% surtax on high-income earners — couples earning $450,000 — that would apply to a broad swath of their income, including some sources that aren't currently taxed, such as employer provided health care and tax-exempt bonds.

|Characterization of Selective Binding of Alkali Cations with Carboxylate
|Wednesday, 24 September 2008 00:00
During its lifetime, a cell spends a considerable fraction of its energy pumping sodium and calcium out and potassium in. This balancing process is similar to that found in the coils of the DNA double helix, where specific ions nestle and help stabilize this macromolecule. These are only two examples of selective ion interactions in biology; there are many others also vital to life. The existence of these interactions has been known since the early 20th century, when Franz Hofmeister observed that some salts (ionic compounds) aided the solution of proteins in egg, some caused proteins to destabilize and precipitate, and others ranged in activity between the two extremes. Hofmeister then ranked "salt-out" (destabilizing) ions versus "salt-in" (stabilizing) ions according to the magnitude of their effects (the "Hofmeister effects"). However, despite enormous effort, why certain interactions are preferred over others is not completely understood. Recently, a team of researchers from UC Berkeley used the model systems of acetate and formate (two simple carboxylic acids) with a series of cations to test predictions made in the literature for preferential interactions. Near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy was used as this technique is highly sensitive to the chemical environments around a molecule. Experiments at ALS Beamline 8.0.1 confirmed strengthening of the interaction between the cations and the carboxylate group in the following order: potassium, sodium, and lithium.
NEXAFS involves the promotion of a core-level electron to antibonding molecular orbitals and Rydberg states. Both of these are diffuse states that extend far beyond the molecule of interest, making them extremely sensitive to changes in molecular geometry and environment, such as the addition of nearby ions. The experiments were conducted in an aqueous solution in order to emulate biological conditions. NEXAFS is a high-vacuum technique, so several additional techniques were required to maintain low-enough pressures for experiments on the liquid samples, such as the liquid microjet, which was used to introduce the cations into the experiment. This key component permitted a vacuum state and provided a renewable sample, avoiding x-ray damage.
Using carbonyl (C=O) NEXAFS as a measuring stick, the group measured the selective interactions at the carbon K-edge in order to avoid the water signal that dominates oxygen K-edge spectra. For acetate, the carbon K-edge spectra for interactions with potassium, sodium, and lithium, respectively, were successively slightly higher in energy (blue shifted). For formate, there was a distinctly large shift between lithium and the other ions, whereas sodium and potassium were indistinguishable. The difference between acetate and formate was understood by the "Law of Matching Water Ion Affinities," a proposed explanation for Hofmeister effects that attributes the stability of ion pairs to their hydration pairing; that is, the difference between the hydration energies of acetate and formate relative to those of the alkali cations accounts for their dissimilarities in preferential interactions and thus the difference in spectral trends.
A density functional theory program (StoBe deMon) was used to calculate spectra as confirmation of the phenomenon. A molecular dynamics trajectory was run to gather information about the different positions the molecules could be in. The coordinates were then input into StoBe deMon, and spectra were calculated and averaged together to account for the different molecular motions on the spectra.
The team's results establish a way of probing selective interactions of ions with biological molecules in aqueous environments under relevant conditions and provide support for the Law of Matching Water Affinities, whßich invokes ion pairing to explain Hofmeister effects on proteins. Future work will involve additional testing of this phenomenon of selective interactions with +2 metals, and examining other ion-pairing interactions and other model systems such as amino acids, polypeptides, and DNA.

In the wake of the Israeli Navy's raid of a flotilla of ships heading towards Gaza on May 31, 2010, more than 50 demonstrations against Israel took place around the United States. Most of these demonstrations took place from May 31-June 5, 2010.
In a manner reminiscent of the anti-Israel rallies held during the winter 2008-2009 Gaza war, many of the chants, banners and speeches at these rallies were marked by expressions of anti-Semitism, Holocaust imagery and support for terrorist groups.
Read on for a sampling of the demonstrations that took place.

Lindsay Lohan will bare more than her body in Playboy.
Reps for the magazine and the troubled actress, 25, who served a four-hour jail sentence over the weekend, officially confirmed Monday that she'll be featured in both pictures and words in the January/February issue.
"The pictorial is absolutely fantastic and very tasteful," her rep says, "and will be accompanied by an interview that will let readers see another side of Lindsay."
Calling Lohan's bare photos "very classy," the magazine's founder Hugh Hefner tells The Insider that the final product is a "classic tribute inspired by the original Tom Kelly nude pictorial of Marilyn Monroe."
This is not the first time Lohan has channeled Monroe. In 2008, she posed as the iconic sex symbol for New York magazine, telling the publication she was "comfortable" being photographed in the buff.
The Playboy issue hits newsstands in late December.
