Lotz, S. I. (2009) Predictability of Geomagnetically Induced Currents using neural networks. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
It is a well documented fact that Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GIC's) poses a significant threat to ground-based electric conductor networks like oil pipelines, railways and powerline networks. A study is undertaken to determine the feasibility of using artificial neural network models to predict GIC occurrence in the Southern African power grid. The magnitude of an induced current at a specific location on the Earth's surface is directly related to the temporal derivative of the geomagnetic field (specifically its horizontal components) at that point. Hence, the focus of the problem is on the prediction of the temporal variations in the horizontal geomagnetic field (@Bx/@t and @By/@t). Artificial neural networks are used to predict @Bx/@t and @By/@t measured at Hermanus, South Africa (34.27◦ S, 19.12◦ E) with a 30 minute prediction lead time. As input parameters to the neural networks, insitu solar wind measurements made by the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite are used. The results presented here compare well with similar models developed at high-latitude locations (e.g. Sweden, Finland, Canada) where extensive GIC research has been undertaken. It is concluded that it would indeed be feasible to use a neural network model to predict GIC occurrence in the Southern African power grid, provided that GIC measurements, powerline configuration and network parameters are made available.

We Southerners think we own greens. We even romanticize collards, saying that first frost imparts a sweetness that removes their natural bitterness.
Now I love a pot of long-simmered, pork-scented mustard, turnips, collards or kale as much as anybody.
Yet theres complexity of flavors and techniques to be found throughout the world of greens.
Brazilians slice kale into chiffonade, saute it with olive oil and garlic and serve it as an accompaniment to pork-laden feijoada. Italians add greens to hearty full-meal soups and stews.
The French bathe spinach in cream and butter, an elegant treatment that suits collards and kale just as well. Just lately, baked kale leaves have been hailed as a healthy answer to potato chips.
Bet you cant eat just one.
Everywhere you look, American cooks celebrate leafy greens in ways both fresh and old-fashioned.
North Carolina food writer Sheri Castles The New Southern Garden Cookbook devotes an entire chapter to greens, from Melted Tuscan Kale to Creamed Collard and Country Ham Pot Pie with Cornmeal Pastry. Atlantas Miller Union serves kale and squash toasts.
Raleigh cookbook author Fred Thompson, who writes The N&Os Weekend Gourmet column, is so proud of his mamas collards that he prepared them on the Live Well Networks My Family Recipe Rocks show earlier this year.
In The Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook, Birmingham, Ala., chef Frank Stitt offers collard green and white bean gratin, a delicious peasant dish thats kind of like a Southern cassoulet.
After cooking through a bunch of recipes for this article, I ended up with a big mess of turnips and kale. Using olive oil, bacon, onion, celery, garlic, hot pepper, vinegar and a splash of molasses, I simmered up a basic pot of greens.
I dumped in leftover white beans and chopped new potatoes and topped it off with grilled sausage.
With a little fooling around, you, too, can create a dish that gives mamas pot likker a shot of flair.

Ali's disqualification on grounds of braggadocio apparently does not apply to Wayne, who recorded a song called "Best Rapper Alive" for Tha Carter II and has expanded on the theme on tracks like "Best Thing Yet," "The Best in the Business," "They Still Like Me" and too many others to list. Still, like Ali in his heyday, Wayne actually is the best — at least since Dedication 2, the 2006 mixtape he recorded with DJ Drama, which arguably remains his strongest effort — and, as everyone knows, with great bestness comes great responsibility. Tonight, that includes a visit to a downtown Atlanta nightclub, where a local hip-hop label is holding a private showcase for Wayne in hopes that he might sign one of their artists to his Young Money imprint.
The club is called the Ice Ultra Lounge. It adjoins a Cajun restaurant and is literally ice-themed: Prom-grade fake icicles dangle from the ceiling. Wayne is led to a red couch at the foot of the stage, where he leans back to watch the show, never removing his sunglasses. There are three performers: a bouncy R&B singer in the vein of Usher who, uncomfortably, does not receive a single clap as he jogs offstage (Wayne's head remains perfectly still throughout the performance); a talented rapper sporting a mohawk, a bow tie and a red carnation, backed by a live band (think André 3000 fronting Body Count); and a sexy female trio operating in the Britney Spears/Pussycat Dolls "lip-syncing stripper" genre (their performance includes simulated lesbian cunnilingus and a metaphorical song called "Elevator.") Afterward, Wayne good-naturedly chitchats with the performers, but when I ask him what he thought, he only comments on the rapper, who he quite liked.
Soon, he's ready to leave the club. Outside, his driver, who wears leather gloves and a chauffeur's cap, waits in his Rolls Royce Phantom. I follow in my rental car with E.I., Wayne's road manager, and Bless, his personal assistant. E.I., who is from New York and has been working for Wayne for about five years, has been advising me to put as much of my money as possible in gold, specifically telling me about a place on 56th Street in midtown Manhattan where you can get Krugerrands. Now he turns to Bless and says of Wayne, with a mixture of admiration and amusement, "He got people doing everything for him. Driving his cars. Getting him drinks. Getting him bitches.
He's a step away from people breathing for him. I cut that nigga's steak!"
Bless cracks up and says, "I thought you were joking, but when you looked at me like that, I said, 'Oh, shit — he's serious.'"
"You've really cut his steak?" I ask.
E.I. nods and says, "When he's in the studio, that's all he thinks of, is the music. He can't do anything else."
To helpfully illustrate the point, shortly after we arrive at the condo, Wayne struggles for about 30 seconds to remove an enormous diamond bracelet from his wrist. It's so big it looks like a prop handcuff specially designed for shackling a Houdini-like escape artist. After a few moments, another of his assistants rushes over and helps him unclasp the bracelet. He places it on a mantle along with other removed jewelry (a diamond-studded watch, several gold chains), and we retire to the TV room, where a home-theater screen takes up an entire wall. Hanging on another wall is a large abstract painting that's either been deeply inspired by Mark Rothko or is an actual Rothko. We settle onto a white leather sectional couch, and the chef places a melon plate on the glass table in front of us, next to a coffee-table book about Turkey. Wayne grabs a slice of cantaloupe and pulls a blunt from a packet of Swisher Sweets. (Assistants preroll Wayne's blunts for him and then return them to the packet.) Wayne smokes weed the way other people smoke cigarettes; he's got a blunt going pretty much every moment we're together, though he never offers to share.
The basketball game is playing on the giant television with the sound off. Wayne shifts his attention between the screen and the interview. He's sitting on the edge of the couch because of a pair of fresh tattoos on the backs of both thighs: Marilyn Monroe and a girl on a stripper pole. Inkwise, his body is approaching a circus-sideshow-tattooed-man level of saturation: I AM MUSIC over his right eye, trigger along a finger, a dove on one of his biceps, bang bang across his chest, a flaming Cash Money logo taking up most of his gut, fear and god over either eyelid (though Wayne tells me he's never been religious), misunderstood curving along the left side of his face. When he speaks, he has the habit of tilting his head back and his chin forward, in the manner of short guys of time immemorial looking to project swagger. His speaking voice has the same lizardy croak as his rapping voice. It sounds ancient, especially coming out of someone so young.

MetaMap is a highly configurable program developed by Dr. Alan (Lan) Aronson at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to map biomedical text to the UMLS Metathesaurus or, equivalently, to discover Metathesaurus concepts referred to in text. MetaMap uses a knowledge-intensive approach based on symbolic, natural-language processing (NLP) and computational-linguistic techniques. Besides being applied for both IR and data-mining applications, MetaMap is one of the foundations of NLM's Medical Text Indexer (MTI) which is being used for both semiautomatic and fully automatic indexing of biomedical literature at NLM.

Tri Star Floor Covering - Marble
"Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite.
Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone; however stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone.[1]
Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material." From wikipedia.org
Marble flooring: Just the sound "marble flooring" hearkens back to romantic days of Rome, the Saracens, or some advanced civilization for antiquity! OK, we might have gotten carried away...
Tri Star Floor Covering looks forward to discussing your "marble only" project! Marble flooring may be pre-Greek, but our prices are 21st Century affordable!

The rooms smelled moldy, and it seemed to be coming from the air conditioners. The first room was unbearable and we moved to a much better room, but the smell of mold was still noticeable.If they get the air conditioners checked for maintenance I would definitely stay there again. The odor was a big problem, but otherwise the rooms were clean and pleasant. Breakfast was good and the front desk and housekeeping staff were great.

Budget Accommodation Oceania Australia Byron Bay Bed & Breakfasts Baystay
Nice and comfortable room, the host was very nice and helpful and the breakfast was good. Thanks.
Baystay is Byron Bay's longest continuously operating B&B, having commenced in 1994. It is a quiet and relaxing 80s Aussie beach house, and only a short stroll from the main beach and town yet far away enough from the hustle and bustle to allow you to wind down and relax. We offer great value.
Your host John has lived in the area for many years and can guide you on wonderful bush tours in and around town or arrange a myriad of activities for you including bike tours, snorkeling, scuba diving, horse riding, massage, bush walking, dolphin and whale watching, tours to galleries and cafes.
With delightful, comfortable and clean guestrooms, your stay will be relaxing and enjoyable. Fridge, BBQ and cooking facilities available in rooms.
Baystay has a budget annex at 118 Bangalow Rd. (Different Location). The annex is a 20 minutes walk to town and 10 minutes walk to Tallow Beach but is clean and very comfortable and self catering for the budget conscious.
This property supports Intrepid Foundation, World Vision, Amnesty International, Greenpeace and numerous local organizations.
Breakfast at the main house or via a tray in your room is available between 8am and 9am for a small charge. Thursdays a 40km bike ride is available for intrepid souls.
We prefer no smoking on the property but if you are addicted then outside please. Guests can come and go as they please. However, at night, please come and go quitely as other people may be asleep.
For checkins before 8am or after 6pm please confirm arrangements by calling/texting 0418857509 a couple of days before arrival.

|Pictured are The University of Texas System Board of Regent Bob Estrada and Cárdenas.
The purpose of the "Spring Fiesta" – hosted by Cárdenas in conjunction with Hinojosa – was to increase the visibility of UTPA in the nation's capitol. Roland S. Arriola, vice president for External Affairs, said the event marked "UTPA's coming out party as one of the leading Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the nation. Events like these help us build new relationships with key decision-makers in government, corporate boardrooms and private foundations."
"Within a few years we expect this event to become the premier University-sponsored event in Washington, surpassing the event sponsored each year by the University of Southern California. Next year, we expect to have many of our faculty members, deans and foundation board members make the trip," Arriola said.
More than 50 members of Congress and numerous representatives from various federal departments and the private sector were in attendance to hear Cárdenas talk about her favorite subject – UTPA.
"Thank you for taking the time to come here to learn about a spectacular University on the brink of making a significant contribution to the major challenge in education facing this country the creation of a critical mass of people of Hispanic origin who will have the bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees to solve problems in our country and build on the assets of our nation for the long term," Cárdenas said.
She told attendees many of the University's success stories and that UT Pan American would graduate approximately 3,800 students this school year.
"These students come from the poorest families in our country. Many of them are young people whose families, just a few years ago and often still, harvest the food we put on our tables," Cárdenas said. "They are young people who are truly heroes for America. They work one and often times two jobs, not only to get an education, but to contribute to the well-being of their families."
At UTPA, students from less than privileged circumstances are winning national competitions in engineering, auditing and music, she said. They also have the lowest default rate on student financial aid and on loans in the state of Texas.
|Left to right are Congressman John Larson (CT-1), Hinojosa with wife Marty Hinojosa, Congressman Ed Pastor (AZ-4), Cárdenas, Congressman Michael Honda (CA-15), Congressman Silvestre Reyes (TX-16) and Congressman Dale Kildee (MI-5).
She asked the members of Congress present for their support in helping UTPA become a research institution.
"UTPA is an institution that is building its capacity, and with your help...we can create the master's and doctoral programs that will take the problem-solving capacity of our students and put it at the service of our research, science, medical, education and economic institutions," Cárdenas said. "With your help UTPA's potential help to the United States has no limits."
Hinojosa, an alumnus of UTPA who received his MBA from the University, said he was pleased to see so many of his congressional friends participate in the event which highlighted UTPA nationally.
"For me, representing The University of Texas-Pan American – my alma mater – is a cause for celebration," he said.
With a student enrollment of more than 17,000, Hinojosa said, he was proud UTPA is educating the largest number of Mexican-American students in the country.
UTPA, in conjunction with Hinojosa, also established the nationally renowned Hispanic Engineering, Science and Technology (HESTEC) initiative. HESTEC Week, which will be held Sept. 26-Oct. 1, provides middle and high school students the opportunity to explore careers in science, math, engineering and technology; participate in hands-on workshops; and listen to role models discuss their achievements in fields such as aerospace, computers and biotechnology.
"Now in its fourth year, HESTEC is engaging and preparing our community's young students to pursue careers in science, technology and engineering," Hinojosa said.
While in Washington, representatives from the National Geographic Education Foundation announced it was joining HESTEC for the first time as a sponsor and presented a $75,000 check to create a new addition to UTPA's weeklong event. The donation will establish the HESTEC Geography Summit, which will feature interactive exhibits, presentations and hands-on activities. The goal of the summit is to increase awareness among middle school students about the various tools used in geography and applications to their lives.
"The HESTEC Geography Summit will help middle school students see where geographic knowledge combined with science and technology understanding can take them," said Arriola, who serves as chairman of the National HESTEC Planning Committee. "We want students to see how people use tools of geography, like geographic information systems, to make decisions about their own community."
|Left to right are Congresswoman Diane E. Watson (CA- 33), Cárdenas and Congressman Danny K. Davis (IL-7).
UTPA representatives also met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) during the trip to Washington, D.C. to discuss an internship program model to help increase student participation in internships as well as a partnership for a regional activity during HESTEC Week.
"The meetings were productive for me because it allowed me to get together with the groups we work with and discuss how we can strengthen our partnership to help students succeed," Velinda Reyes, interim director of UTPA¹s Career Placement Services, said.
UTPA officials also learned how students can be more marketable in the college selection process through meetings with representatives of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, which represents more than 400 colleges and universities committed to Hispanic higher education success in the United States, Puerto Rico, Latin America and Spain.
Bret Mann, executive director of UTPA's Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED), said the trip was extremely productive and explained it was crucial to have the members of Congress present.
"The more Congress is aware of our programs and what we do, the greater the possibility of receiving funds and partnering with other universities," he said. "UTPA students, faculty and staff have great stories to tell and people need to hear their stories."

Crispo-Need Recommendations on Menu
I am having a dinner for 16 people at Crispo. Due to our party size we will order off of a price fixed menu. We have a few vegetarians in our group. Any recommendations on what to choose for our appetizer and main dish? I get to pick 4 for each course then the guests can choose which one they each want. Thanks.
For the vegetarians, my favorite dish is the pappardelle w/mushroom ragu. I think pastas are most reliable--love the carbonara and the spaghetti and meatballs. For apps, truffled ricotta is great, bone marrow, rice balls...
Just celebrated my b-day here and had a very good meal. For the price and nice atmosphere you can't beat it. My favorites were the fresh mozzerella, spag. carbonara, gnocchi, anything veal....and the gelati was some of the best around. Not the best meal I have ever had, but a great all around place. I would go back for sure. And for a group, you can't beat it.
Do not miss the carbonara (t's arguably the best in the city), also the Trofie Al Prosciutto "San Daniele" is excellent too. I adore the carmelized cauliflower with pine nuts and currants---which totally fits the vegetarian bill even though I prefer it with the thin slices of proscuitto on top (they offer it both ways).

Mitch Daniels' Free Market Health Care Plan
The state of Indiana enacted the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP), a health insurance plan that provides highly subsidized health insurance to the working poor. HIP is operating under a federal Medicaid waiver, one of the conditions of which is that only a certain number of citizens within specified demographic groups can be insured. Thus, if one group (in this case single individuals) receives a surplus of applicants and another (families with multiple children) a deficit, Indiana cannot enroll the single individuals (even though they need the insurance and are willing to pay for it) and instead leave the money idle to wait until multichildren families apply.
When Indiana saw this occurring, the state requested a waiver from the federal government to increase the cap on single individuals --- and the Obama-led Department of Health and Human Services refused to grant a waiver. Now, there are six thousand people who want health insurance in Indiana, qualify for HIP and the Obama administration is refusing to allow them to be covered. What is so terrible about a plan that went from nothing to oversubscribed in less than two years?:
- The HIP plan provides $500 of free preventive care every year to each enrollee: physicals, mammograms, colonoscopies, etc. This is a direct subsidy for preventive care, the same kind of care that some people campaigned on.
- The HIP plan increases the age eligibility limit for children to stay on their parent's health plan from 19 to 24, quite similar to what some candidates said was important to them.
- The HIP Plan expands access to insurance coverage to individuals who could not previously afford it (or qualify for other government programs), much like some candidates claimed that they wanted to do.
- The plans also provides financial incentives for workplaces to focus on the wellness of their employees. Some government officials have stated that such programs are laudable, yet others refuse to make them more accessible.
In addition, the plan actually puts money in people's pockets if they do not spend all of the state provided funds during their first (or any subsequent) year in the plan. Thus, after the first year, a person can maintain health insurance with no out of pocket cost.
In other words, the HIP plan is accomplishing President Obama's goals, but he is refusing to allow it to expand. This would seem illogical, except for a few points:
- The HIP plan is administered by private health plans --- with incentives to ensure that participants receive preventive care.
- The HIP plan is paid for with Medicaid money, but reimburses at Medicare rates (which are higher). This has led some liberal groups to claim that the plan is fiscally irresponsible. This would be a reasonable objection, execpt for the fact that government-run Medicaid has proven to be a bad option for consumers.
Probably the biggest issue the Obama administration has with the program is the stipulation that participants pay for their insurance (at a highly subsidized rate). Those funds are then deposited into a personal account that the individual can use to pay medical expenses. As indicated above, if money remains in the account at the end of the year, it is rolled over to the next year and can be used to pay the premium. (Participants are essentially able to apply a government subsidy to make their personal payments to provide themselves already subsidized care, i.e. allowing the market to work even though the overwhelming majority of money is government money).
Thus, Mitch Daniels developed a bi-partisan, pro-market, pro-individual health insurance initiative that has gone from zero enrollees to a waiting list in less than two years. Barack Obama has not even provided a plan, yet he is sure of one thing: refusing more Hoosiers the health insurance they want … and are willing to pay for.

Reader Comments
However - the Bush 43 HHS dept forced Indiana to accept the cap. My guess is that any HHS dept in any administration would not want to change existing Medicaid waivers when such a big health reform package is fairly close to passage. Because they might be in a position of having to go back and redo it in less than a year anyway.
By the way, HIP has now "carved out" prescription drugs and pays for all of them at Medicaid rates, not Medicare rates (as all other services under HIP are paid). I just think it's interesting that even a conservative administration such as Mitch's was able to see that there is a lot of value in putting government-funded business into one big negotiating pool to get lower drug prices. When it comes to the big pharma companies, I don't see why the government should be any less tough of a negotiator, to get taxpayers (and HIP ratepayers) the most for their money. What doesn't make sense is something like Medicare Part D, where the government literally has no power to lower prices for those enrolled.
In fact, the savings from the carve-out of Rx is what's allowing HIP to attempt to expand the childless adult cap while remaining revenue neutral. Not sure of the status of this request to HHS. My guess is that, again, HHS may be reluctant to go ahead when a broader health reform is just around the corner.
(Also, my understanding of the most recent version of the Democratic (Senate-based) health bill is that while it would expand Medicaid to 133% of FPL, it would also allow states who choose the option to begin or maintain a HIP type of program for those between 133-200% FPL.)
Honestly, with all the disagreement over health reform, I have to wonder if we should just instead propose some level of block grants to states, with the only requirement being that they show a continuing decline in the number of uninsured, and a decline in the % of income paid for health expenses by those under 200% FPL.
However - are there any Republicans in the House or Senate who would even vote for a block grant system? Many seem to be proud naysayers these days, just voting no for it's own sake.
Should I mention that Mitch Daniels (nor anyone else in Indiana, that I'm aware of) ever wanted the cap on childless adults? The state's plan all along (approved on a bi-partisan basis) was to run HIP as revenue-neutral to the federal government, with no restriction on the total population served, other than the total funding limit available.
- It is my understanding that Daniels' administration asked for a waiver, but are still waiting on the ruling.

That time of the year is approaching again – a night (and maybe full-day) of bar hopping, green beer, green shamrocks and green raucous fun.
First up, some St. Paddy's Day t-shirts to keep it funny and cute:
We're all fans of puns, especially when they're worked into a great St. Paddy's Day t-shirt. Patty o' what? Furniture, o' course. Sure to be a hit at the bars, it might take a bit longer for people to get it than on normal days, but it's worth a shot – especially if you're a fan of one-night (furniture) "stands":
We just can't get enough of the St. Paddy's "o'" abbreviations, and when they're combined with a sassy statement – it's gold:
Would you expect anything less from Happy Bunny?
It might have been years since you've communicated in perfect cursive, but on St. Paddy's, there's a good chance you'll be an expert:
Who can resist a girl in a vintage lucky charm tee?
Or a lucky laddie?
A fan of SpongeBob and not afraid to show it? Sport SpongeBob kicking back on St. Paddy's, blowing a shamrock bubble.
Next up, our top t-shirt picks for when you're feeling festive or want to show off some Irish pride.

Antivirus Protection 2012 DescriptionAntivirus Protection 2012 is one of the many rogue anti-virus programs belonging to the Rogue:Win32/Defmid family of scamware. These kinds of fake anti-virus applications will use the same interface repeatedly, only changing the name of each particular member of this family of malware in order to stay one step ahead of PC security researchers. ESG security researchers indicates that Antivirus Protection 2012 is designed to mislead its victims, providing fake error reports and system scans designed to convince this malware infection's victims into purchasing a useless license for Antivirus Protection 2012. An Antivirus Protection 2012 infection will often be associated with the presence of other malware on your computer and should be regarded as a severe threat to your computer system's security.
Despite Its Name, the Antivirus Protection 2012 Scam Goes Back Several Years
Do not be misled by the "2012" appended to the ending of Antivirus Protection 2012's name. This is simply added to the end of this rogue program's name in an attempt to make this fake security program appear new and improved. However, malware like Antivirus Protection 2012 has been using what is basically the same interface and attack strategy since at least 2010. There are dozens of clones of Antivirus Protection 2012, some of which include fake security applications such as Security Center, Security Defender, Security Monitor 2012, Smart Internet Protection 2012, Antimalware Tool, Security Central, and Internet Defender. All of these clones have versions with the year "2011" or "2012" appended to the end (e.g. Microsoft Security Center 2012 or Internet Protection 2011) as a way to create multiple versions of the same malware threat with a minimum of effort.
How Antivirus Protection 2012 Attempts to Steal Your Money
Antivirus Protection 2012 is designed to display authentic-looking error messages and alerts indicating the presence of malware on the victim's computer. However, ESG security researchers advise against paying attention to any of these so-called warnings, since Antivirus Protection 2012 is a malware infection itself and has no way of detecting or removing malware. This fake security program will insert links leading to its website in various places in order to attempt to direct its victim to a form asking for the victim's credit card information in exchange for a useless registration code for its non-existent full version. The registration code LIC2-00A6-234C-B6A9-38F8-F6E2-0838-F084-E235-6051-18B3 has been known to diminish some of this rogue security program's symptoms while you use a reliable anti-malware tool to remove it from your computer.

this case is ok ok, I've had much better cases. Plus side is that it is a nice looking case. Unfortunately, with the case on a lot of time it is hard for the people to hear my voice on the phone so I have to adjust the case or take it off for people to hear me properly. also I recently dropped the phone with the case on and the screen was completely cracked. the phone landed on an edge so the case should have protected it.
all in all I'm not impressed with this product and would not recommend it to anyone.
The case had a nice design, but it made my iphone a little too bulky. I dropped my phone on a couple occasions and the shock absorbing sides just absorbed all the impact to keep my phone safe. It was a little hard to put on and take off the case. It made silencing and adjusted the volume a little difficult.3
I got this case in my January Birchbox and it has not left my phone since then! I am extremely clumsy when it comes to my phone and am constantly dropping it, but this case works miracles! Before this case I had an Otterbox and those are pretty bulky. This case is thin and, in my opinion, protects your phone better than an Otterbox! BUY ONE!5

Romney Will Probably Win Iowa Caucuses, Huckabee Says
The results of the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses depend on the weather, former Arkansas Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said on "Fox News Sunday."
"I would probably say Mitt Romney will end up winning it today. I think again, Ron Paul because of his organization could, and that's where Mitt is really at a disadvantage. He doesn't have the devotion. If the weather is good, Mitt Romney is in better shape. If the weather is bad and it's real tough to get out, Ron Paul will win," Huckabee said.
Huckabee, the winner of the 2008 Iowa Republican caucuses, said Paul's supporters have "extraordinary devotion" and are willing to "walk over broken glass for him."
He also said he believes former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum could have a surprise showing in Iowa.
"Rick Santorum, I believe, is being greatly underestimated in this race. I believe he will be the surprise candidate, not necessarily to win it, but to be in the top three or four when people don't expect him to be," he said.
There are nine days until the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses.

Hi, my name is Gene. I've been teaching piano lessons for the last two and a half years in the North Raleigh area and I'd love to teach you how to play!
I've been playing the piano for 15 years. I had private lessons through high school and I took lesson for six semesters from a college professor during my university studies. I've had experience playing in churches, accompanying collegiate and graduate level voice lessons, and playing for weddings.
I'm also offering tutoring services as well. I've had experience taking the SAT and GRE, and I took and passed 5 AP tests in high school. I've listed the areas I believe I could offer these and other kinds of educational training.
ACT, Algebra, Arithmetic, Basic Math, College Admissions, Creative Writing, Elementary Math, English, English Literature, ESL, GRE, Math, Music Theory, Piano, Pre Algebra, Pre Calculus, PSAT, Reading, SAT, Test Prep
Hello! My name is Chris. I'm a private tutor and piano teacher in and around Seattle. I have a terrific time learning about the things I enjoy in life. I would like to share this kind of fun with you or your son or daughter!
Piano lessons and tutoring. Reading, writing, math, test prep, etc. Affordable, fun, professional, effective.
Academics: B.A. from Columbia, 2370 SAT (800 Math, 800 Reading, 770 Writing), 1590 GRE (800 Verbal, 790 Math), seven years' tutoring experience, all ages, almost all abilities.
Piano: repertoire from Beethoven to Chopin to Ravel to Mussorgsky, experience as a symphony and opera critic in college, comprehensive knowledge of classical music and music theory, 15 years' experience playing, all ages, beginner to strong-intermediate abilities.
Academics: I tutor because I want to work against the worst aspects of school, and embody the best ones. I tutor to make school more worthwhile and more fun for my students. I tutor to relieve anxiety and frustration and stress. I tutor to help students cultivate their sense of curiosity. I'll raise your or your kid's grades by putting school in the right context, and giving them the skills to deal with it, emotionally and intellectually.
Piano: My lessons are fun. I love music, and I can help you love it too! I want to teach you how to play what you want to play, how you want to play it, and to that end I promote a relaxed atmosphere while also gently emphasizing technical skills to bring out your musicality. This doesn't mean you won't learn --�� quite the contrary! --�� it means that you'll be put in a better mindset to learn, since you'll have a great time coming to lessons and you'll want to practice. I can motivate you to discover what you like most about music and enjoy the gift of musicianship well into adulthood.
Reading and writing: Everyone needs language skills. With the rise of the Internet, the increasing difficulty and subjectivity of college admissions, and the competition for scarce jobs hinging on resumes, interviews, and communication skills, a proficiency in reading and writing is more critical than ever before. I've written for, and been paid by, several different websites on topics ranging from modern TV to old literature and card games. I was an English literature student at Columbia. I read and write compulsively. I tutored writing in 2007 to students ages 9 to 18, and was a content editor and proofreader for a boutique educational-software firm in 2007, 2008, and 2011-2012.
Math: Nearly every math class could be aced by a majority of students, but math is poorly taught. I can help by teaching conceptually. In high school, I was three years ahead in math, finishing AP Calculus AB as a sophomore, AP Statistics as a junior, and AP Calculus BC as a senior. I scored a 5 on each of those AP tests. I played poker (a math-based game) professionally from 2010 to 2011.
Test prep: Test-prep is one of the easiest and cheapest investments you can make. My SAT score was 800 in Math, 800 in Reading, and 770 in Writing. My GRE scores were 800 in Verbal and 790 in Math. I got 5's on the AP US History, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and Statistics tests, and 4's on the English Language and Composition and European History tests. As a gamer, I'�m well-versed in the 'strategic' aspect of test-taking.
It's important to me that my lessons remain affordable to maintain the kind of diversity and plurality of experience in my students that makes education worthwhile.. For music or academic tutoring, my rate is well below the industry standard at expensive aggregators.
If you're interested in my services for any of these subjects, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Best, CML

Since I believe strongly that everyone can do mathematics and love it, I am very patient in breaking down concepts for my students and specialize in relating mathematics to every day life. I find that mathematics is most useful when applied to present day situations and I tend to incorporate concepts into already-known phenomena.

Personal Matters
Susan Britt
---- — Think back to the meals you have eaten in the last month or so.
Have you gobbled a fast-food hamburger while driving in heavy traffic? Gulped down a slice of pizza as you read the newspaper or watched TV? Did you skip lunch in order to finish a report at your office, only to overeat later at dinner? Have you "inhaled" meals without really tasting them?
If this sounds all too familiar, you are in the company of many fellow gobblers.
The daily eating habits of many Americans seem to be a reflection of much of our culture: frantic, thoughtless, unconscious and, considering the damaging effects to our health, even personally violent.
Statistics tell us, and we hear constantly through many media outlets, that millions of Americans, both adults and children, are riddled with medical and behavioral problems related to unhealthy eating habits: obesity, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, bulimia, compulsive overeating, and anorexia nervosa to name only a few. Eating has become just another item on our overfilled "to do" lists, something to do — in a hurry — while you are doing something else.
This attitude is enormously different from many other cultures, where the act of eating is considered so sacred that specific rituals are practiced before, during and after meals.
These rituals are expressions of many deeply felt emotions — gratitude for the availability of food itself, appreciation for those who grew and harvested the food and the recognition of eating as a nourishing, life-affirming act. It's life affirming because the food we eat is absorbed through the intestines then becoming part of our bones, blood, tissue, and organs ultimately having a powerful affect on our mental as well as our physical health by determining not only the quality of nourishment to our bodies but whether we live or die.
Biologists and geneticists have recently discovered that the food we eat today even affects the health of our progeny many generations later.
Many Americans express a spiritual approach to eating only on religious and national holidays, and especially at Thanksgiving because this holiday encourages us to slow down and take a few moments to ponder the many gifts life has given us and express our gratitude for them.
One simple method of enhancing our gratitude all year long is to eat consciously. Eating consciously, with heightened awareness, is essential to becoming a physically and mentally healthy person. This means that you need to set aside special time to eat, without doing anything else — without reading, watching TV, and certainly not when driving or walking. Take the time to cook rather than grabbing fast food.
At home, create a calm and sensually appealing atmosphere by decorating the table with simple, but visually appealing place settings. Add a candle and a plant or flower to the table. Then, eat very slowly, placing your fork down after each bite so that you can become mindful of exactly what you are eating and why you are eating — nourishment for the mind and body.
To help you understand the value of mindful eating, try this simple but powerful exercise: eat an ordinary cracker but approach it as if you have never seen or eaten a cracker before, look at the cracker — its size, shape, color, think about the earth's gift of wheat that is the essence of it, then sniff the freshness of the cracker anticipating the flavor, finally, take a small bite savoring its texture and taste, swallow completely before taking another bite.
The purpose of this exercise is to help you gain both appreciation and a healthier perspective about the act of eating and its consequences. When we change our perspective we open the way to choosing healthier foods while eating less with more satisfaction.
It helps us understand an essential truth: eating is both a sensory and spiritual passtime, one that can nourish the soul as well as the body.
Try this at your next Thanksgiving celebration and with the wonderful leftovers of yesterday, and you may find that you enjoy the traditional gobbler and fixings more than ever.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Whats goin on everybody?! Hope all is well over on the east coast...I know Dan and Erik are still over there with you guys while we are all over here on the west coast so make sure you keep in touch with them to. Anyway, I am interning this summer at LionsGate. You all are probobly familiar with them for their horror and thriller movies like Haunting In Connecticut but they also have produced movies such as Crash, My Best Friends Girl and of course the entire Saw Series.
I am interning with the Acquisitions Department, which so far has been great! So far I have read a large number of scripts, most have been bad but that doesn't matter because with each script I read I find something new that I can improve with the scripts that I am currently writing. It has helped me hone my critisisms to things that actually matter when looking at scripts, like Dialogue. Now when it comes to the scripts that I am reading I am under contract as a LionsGate Employee to not disclose any specifics about what I have read so far, but with that said I can tell you that last week I read a script that was written by an Academy Award Winning writer. This particular script I was instructed to send directly to a VP of Production. That took place last week so Wed I will be speaking with the VP and talking to him about the script and the coverage that I wrote for him.
The awesome thing about the internship and working out here is everyone is really helpful. If I have a question or need some advice on writing coverage everyone is willing to help.
I am currently living just outside of Venice Beach with Brooke, another Buffalo State Student that is out here working for Reville. You can read her blog to find out what she is up to. I am currently training for a job at Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant as a Server so that will definitely help me pay the bills that are shortly coming my way for rent and such.
I guess thats it If you have any questions feel free to ask haha.
Keep it real!
