Cadaver lab reflects commitment to studentsPosted Jan. 28, 2011
The Robert S. Morrison Health and Science Building on the Ashtabula Campus features plenty of unique learning spaces for students in nursing and other health care profession degree programs. It also houses the only cadaver lab between Erie and Cleveland. This lab is the only one of its kind within the Kent State University system.
Ashtabula Campus Dean and Chief Administrative Officer Dr. Susan Stocker said the cadaver lab provides a tremendous learning experience for students and it raises the level of education the campus is able to provide. "The inclusion of the cadaver lab reflects our commitment to our students," Stocker said. "It was a major investment from the special considerations related to designing and constructing the space to the ongoing operation of the lab," she said.
Ashtabula Campus Physical Therapist Assistant Technology (PTST) Program Director Mike Blake saw the benefit of teaching anatomy with cadavers. Blake said that instead of feeling plastic and metal, students get to experience real flesh and bone. "It's the difference between pointing to an anatomically correct mannequin versus touching and experiencing the real thing," he said.
It was Blake who approached the dean with the idea of a cadaver lab in the new building. In his proposal he stated that, "This anatomy cadaver lab will elevate the learning for all of our anatomy students." Students enrolled in health care profession degrees on the campus will use the lab during the required anatomy course.
According to Biological Sciences Instructor Michael Brennan, learning has been elevated so far. "The cadavers bring another level of understanding of the anatomy," Brennan said. "Plastic mannequins show some things well, but not others, so they are not entirely accurate," he said.
He feels that using human cadavers rather than plastic models is important. "Students get to look at real positioning and the texture of the muscles, bones and tendons," Brennan said.
PTST student Megan Suchala feels the cadavers are very helpful in the learning process. "When it comes to location of a muscle or tendon, you get the real picture," Suchala said, adding "More specifically, you actually get to see the real thing."
When Blake approached the dean during the design process with his proposal to include the lab, he was able to list many advantages. Similar labs at other universities have been shown to increase student interest and performance. Students who gain this experience demonstrate clinical skills superior to those who do not. The campus is also now able to offer continuing education classes it had not been able to previously.
Once approval for the project was obtained, there was more research to be done. "We researched laws, regulations, policies and procedures. We especially needed to learn about air-handling equipment," Blake said.
The cadaver lab needs to have adequate air replacement. The system replaces air in the room 10 to 12 times per hour. Two stainless steel ventilated dissection tables connect to a wall ventilation pipe that also draws room air through the table itself so fumes do not spread into the room when the cadaver is open and being worked on.
"It is a resource intensive learning space, but well worth it when you consider the advantage it gives our students," Stocker added.
The cadavers come from the body donation program at Wright State University. There is one of each gender for students to work with. Cadavers will typically remain in the lab for up to two years. The replacement schedule depends on how much work is done on the body, but most importantly, on how well the body reacts to the preservatives used.
It is the faculty that prepares the body for viewing. "It takes 40 hours of preparation work to get each body ready for showing," Blake said.
In the future, advanced students may assist in dissection. Students are not required to touch the cadavers, but are encouraged to do so. Students attend lab wearing lab coats and gloves and have the opportunity to palpate or feel all the structures that they will be tested upon on a future date.
There is still one more addition to be made to the cadaver lab. Because the room will only accommodate 18 people at a time, a special camera will be installed to allow images of what is being done in the lab to be viewed by students in two classrooms across the hall.
When it is time to exchange bodies, the cadavers are returned to the body donation center for cremation. The ashes are then returned to the families.
Nursing Lab & Simulation Center Coordinator Mary Crump and students will hold memorials for the bodies before they are returned.

A word from Cuba Libre - DC
Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar features Nuevo Cubano cuisine by two-time James Beard award-winning Chef Guillermo Pernot. Pernot's menus feature tantalizing tastes that are derived from the exotic island"s culinary traditions, which include Spanish, African, Creole and Asian influences. The
restaurant's atmosphere transports guests to Old Havana circa the 1950s. One-of-a-kind millwork and architectural salvage including unique doors, gates, cabinetry, furniture and accessories help capture the essence of old Cuban architecture. Colorful exotic foliage and large potted palm trees add to Cuba Libre's open-air, tropical ambiance. Featuring a selection of over 70 rums, Cuba Libre's uniquely refreshing house specialty, the mojito, is made from the authentic Cuban recipe of combining rum, fresh lime juice, fresh mint leaves, a splash of soda and most distinctively, guarapo, sugar cane juice pressed daily on site.

Diner Reviews
We LOVED our experience here. They
have great tapas with a good serving amount. The drinks were awesome and the decor was lots of fun. Highly recommend!"
Dined on 7/19/2014
We took some of our colleagues
from our New York office to Cuba Libre for lunch and they raved about the food. Granted, I've been there several times and will continue to go back. Our server was very attentive and explained each dish. She even gave her own personal recommendations. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and have a bite."
Dined on 7/18/2014
Your Tapas menu is what dreams are
made of! Just enough of a selection to excite and satisfy!"
Dined on 7/17/2014
My wife and I were in the mood for
Cuban food and booked this table when we learned of Cuba Libre. Upon entering, we were struck by the Disney-esque decor, which is remarkable in its own faux Havana kind of way. Our server was very pleasant, but most likely inexperienced. It took too long to receive our mojitos which arrived quite a bit after our appetizer. Once the drinks arrived, we shared our disappointment with the lack of rum and oomph-quite watery and sweet. The Cuban sandwich was just okay. The bread seemed a bit mealy and could have been buttered more before toasting/pressing. Second round of drinks again took way too long. Beers were just delivered to the table without glassware. Will not repeat."
Dined on 7/8/2014
Loved everything. Food is
excellent. Mojito was as desired. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone"
Dined on 7/7/2014
This is usually not an issue. So
when I had friends in town for the holiday I added Cuba Libre to the itinerary. Unfortunately, our food came out less than room temperature, plates were dirty and the server didn't return before our first two tapas came out so we had to take plates from an empty table. It was, I'm hoping, an off evening."
Dined on 7/5/2014
You'll love the food here, but
don't go if you're in a rush or have a post-dinner commitment. We had to ask three times for something over the course of 20 minutes before we finally got it. Had to ask twice for a second order of bread, and it arrived with dessert. We waited at least half an hour after we finished our meal for the check. And it wasn't even particularly crowded. But the food is luscious and unique."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Good food and friendly staff.
Service painfully slow."
Dined on 7/4/2014
Went for dinner and ordered from
the tapas menu. Great choices - wonderful flavors and presentation! Recommend the sangria too!"
Dined on 7/3/2014
There was nothing wrong with Cuba
Libre. The tapas were good - some outstanding, the service was very nice, and the atmosphere is bustling and fun. That being said, I'm not sure I'd go back. Nothing was so fabulous about it that Cuba Libre would stand out in my mind when thinking about places to eat in the future. If I was looking for small plates, a place just nearby comes to mind."
Dined on 7/3/2014
Started off very good with
attentive service, but once part of our order arrived at our table, she disappeared and we weren't able to get refills on our water, ask about the other order, or anything. I even tried to mention it to her before she left, "oh your food is here" - "well, 3 of the 4" - no response. When she did return with water (finally), she noticed the missing dish & we did end up receiving it. Should've been taken off the bill or another accommodation made for this, but just blamed on "new food deliverers" not knowing the restaurant yet. Food was good, wouldn't recommend yuca fries - very blah and bland flavor. Everything else was great."
Dined on 7/1/2014
My husband and I love Caipirinhas
and when I saw we were going to be in DC close to Cuba Libra I immediately booked. We had been to their Atlantic City location a while ago and had a great meal and great drinks - Caipirinhas. Food was okay, not wonderful. Caipirinhas were bitter and probably the worst we ever had, I'm sorry to say. The restaurant was very energetic though. So if you are going for the night life, I think you would enjoy this location."
Dined on 7/1/2014
Food/variety was wonderful. Great
Drinks, Good Service with a personable wait staff. Stuffed ourselves with Tapas :)"
Dined on 6/28/2014
Food was terrific. I came with a
large party, and I don't think anyone ordered anything they weren't enthusiastic about. The pork and beef dishes are their strong suit, it seems like."
Dined on 6/28/2014
My husband and I took our 12 year
old to the restaurant for an early dinner on a weekday. The service was great. They explained the menu well and timed each course perfectly. The guacamole has pineapple and jalapeño in it and uses fried plantains as "chips". our son picked 2 tapas as his meal, giving him a variety. My husband had the pulled port. I had the sea bass. All were fabulous. My husband and I shared the mini desert trio (a small flan, small tres leches cake and a small rice pudding) It was cute and tasted wonderful. My son had the dulce de leche ice cream. He said it was the best he had ever eaten. The indoor decor was outdoors on a cuban street. I strongly recommend this restaurant."
Dined on 6/26/2014
Nice break from the typical DC
restaurant scene. Great service especially during lunch."
Dined on 6/26/2014
Earlier this week I visited Cuba
Libre with two other people. We had drinks and dinner and really enjoyed dinner. I returned two evenings later by myself and was so disappointed in the service. The server did not offer me bread. I had been there over a half hour and had to ask for it. I ordered empanadas for dinner and sangria. I waited a long time until I could get the server's attention for my check. I felt the server was inattentive to me as a single diner and could have cared less if I was served or if I return. I am a business woman and would most likely have referred people here if I had had a good experience when I dined alone. Clearly, the server did not received a good tip from me."
Dined on 6/25/2014
For those within walking distance,
Cuba Libre's staff, high ceilings, reasonable noise level, and demeanor are well suited to an informal business lunch. Portions, service, and food selection make it possible to enjoy a tasty, time-conscious lunch."
Dined on 6/24/2014
Dining mid week, the restaurant
was deserted late in the day. The food was great, but the usually energy at Cuba Libre was missing."
Dined on 6/23/2014
Great Bento box....fast, tasty,
reasonably priced, and great taste!!!!"
Dined on 6/23/2014
We opted for the $26 all inclusive
and $14 for beverages. So glad we did. There are so many things to try and everything was delicious. I would not recommend the crab cake Benedict. It seemed fishy tasting. But everything else was fabulous. We will be back sooner rather than later!"
Dined on 6/22/2014
Cuba Libra did not disappoint me.
Food, drinks and dancing was on point!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
We have been in the DC/NOVA area
for almost 20 years and we have finally found a place we can enjoy our traditional food without having to travel. Cuba Libre is now my favorite spot for latino flavor and I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for the "Caribe" experience. The location is perfect, the service is awesome and trust me, the food is great. If you're in the mood for Caribbean Food, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed."
Dined on 6/21/2014
The guac was fab as was the
sangria. We had several tapas that were wonderful as were the entrees."
Dined on 6/19/2014
great food! very ethnic but with
a modern twist."
Dined on 6/19/2014
I've been to Cuba Libre many
times... And it's been great every time. The menu has a lot to offer and I always have trouble picking what to get-- inevitably we order more than we can eat cuz it all sounds too good to pass up. But leftovers from CL are never a bad thing. :)"
Dined on 6/19/2014
Came with a group of four after
the Shakespeare Theater, had a lot of tapas and one entree, many drinks. Our server was top notch, and everyone came away very favorably impressed."
Dined on 6/18/2014
We made a reservation for 7:30pm
on a Wed. night. We were shown to our table immediately. Overall, the food was excellent. We ordered a number of appetizers and there plenty of food to share with everyone at the table. Everyone especially enjoyed the guacamole & empanadas. Our waitress was ok, she forgot to take some food orders and I had to track her down a couple of times. Our appetizers came out one at a time and we were still having appetizers delivered when our entrees arrived. But, overall, the food itself was delicious and I would highly recommend it. But be aware, the restaurant is a bit noisy. However, everyone, especially our out of town guests, really enjoyed the restaurant & food."
Dined on 6/18/2014
Great food, lovely night so we ate
outside but the inside ambiance almost made us change our mind!"
Dined on 6/15/2014
I chose Cuba Libre for Father's
Day for a change of pace from the usual offerings. I have enjoyed the restaurant with friends so I knew that he would love it. He was surprised that I chose Cuba Libre but he had an excellent time. The food and service were great and we had a wonderful time."
Dined on 6/15/2014
Was taken here for combination
Father's Day and birthday celebration. Memorable. My second time here, won't be my last"
Dined on 6/15/2014
We went to Cuba Libre for Fathers
Day Brunch. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the unlimited menu was a great value. This is a terrific spot (especially if you are hungry). If you are visiting DC, you should definitely get a meal at Cuba Libre."
Dined on 6/15/2014
Tacky decor. Service is so slow.
We did the all you can eat brunch and the food and drinks would come out 20 mins after you order it. I only had a party of 7. The slow slow slow service only made the entire experience worse. Food was sub par. Drinks tastes watered down. Meh."
Dined on 6/15/2014
Although the ambience did have a
costume feel to it I wasn't at all impressed with the food. Being from Latin decent I've eaten at other Spanish style restaurants and can say that there's no comparison. The tapas brunch menu was very expensive for the amount of food provided and not so tasty."
Dined on 6/15/2014
Cuba Libre was referred by a
friend and loved it. My wife and I dined there and then worked off our dinner dancing the night away...Great place, highly recommended!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
I think I could recommend almost
anything on the menu (we had 5 in our group and shared). But CL just doesn't have the ability to handle timely delivery of food when they're busy. Go when they're not busy."
Dined on 6/14/2014
The food is not authentic, very
expensive and side portions are small. If you ask for more rice be prepared to be charged $3 dollars extra on your bill and the waiter doesn't even tell you. I had to constantly hunt down our waiting because he forgot to regularly check on us. The website mentioned a salsa show by professional dancers, it was the main reason we went to Cuba libre and did not see it at all! The show and dancing was to start at 11pm, we stayed a whole hour waiting and nothing. We could not wait any longer because there were no seats available during that time and if you are wearing heels and standing that long is very uncomfortable. Whoever thought it was a good idea to remove all the seating must not wear heels!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
Very good drinks, always good
food. I've been to 3 of their 4 locations and have always been impressed."
Dined on 6/8/2014
I have wanted to try Cuba Libre
for brunch for quite some time, and was highly impressed when I was finally able to! The service was incredible from meeting the hostess, all the way through our meal. The menu items all looked amazing, and it was difficult finding options that we didn't want to try. Their brunch specials are great for both food and drinks, so we were able to try everything we wanted. Our server was great and very attentive. This will be my new spot to take visitors to. Thanks!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
They have only one vegetarian
option on their lunch menu but it was great. The "vegetariano" lunch with a flatbread pizza with lots of roasted veggies, a black bean soup, and a delicious mango-avocado-lime salad. I'd definitely go back, despite of a few service snafus this time."

Elena Kagan Confirmed, First Softball-Playing Justice on Bench
For the first time in U.S. history, we will have three women serving concurrently on the Supreme Court: Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and whatshername? You know, the hot one. Sandy something.
Anyway, the important thing is that everyone was in agreement that she was the best person for the job. Perfect agreement…
Five Republicans joined 56 Democrats and two independents in supporting the nomination; 36 Republicans and one Democrat, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, opposed her…
The sharp partisan divide over the nomination illustrated the increasing political polarization of fights over high court nominees, who in years past were backed by both parties in the absence of some disqualifying factor. Ms. Kagan received fewer Republican votes than Justice Sotomayor, who was supported by nine in her 68-31 confirmation on Aug. 6, 2009. Democrats balked at President George W. Bush's nominee, Samuel A. Alito Jr., with only four endorsing him in a 58 to 42 vote in January 2006.
You see? It's not that the Republicans (and Ben Nelson) suck. It's that everybody in the Senate sucks. And that, ultimately, is agreement enough, isn't it?

Elena Kagan to Become Only 112th Heterosexual to Serve on Supreme Court
The big story for the day is Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's sexuality. Or lack thereof. According to a source close to Kagan, the potential justice is not a lesbian. Or, at least, a closeted lesbian. Either way, Justice Sonia Sotomayor's biggest concern will remain avoiding Clarence Thomas in the SCOTUS break room…
"I've known her for most of her adult life and I know she's straight," said Sarah Walzer, Kagan's roommate in law school and a close friend since then. "She dated men when we were in law school, we talked about men — who in our class was cute, who she would like to date, all of those things. She definitely dated when she was in D.C. after law school, when she was in Chicago — and she just didn't find the right person."
Oh, and there was that one guy from Canada who she met at Law Camp. And that other guy from a couple towns over. The one who looks like Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran. You never met him because his parents don't believe in cars.
The rumor about Kagan has circulated for months on gay blogs and became a matter of controversy when it was cited as fact by a conservative blogger on the website of CBS News, drawing a sharp White House rebuttal. It has, since, been a source of particular fascination in some socially conservative circles and particularly among gay and lesbian political observers…
"It's taking away from substantive discussion of the issues from a really substantive person who deserves to be given the opportunity to address the substantive issues," [Walzer] said.
Really, what a silly dalliance of a question! Who could possibly ever be so ridiculous as to assume that a person's sexual self-identity — and its potential for alienating people from entire tracts of society — could ever effect the way a person views the ways that laws can shape the world we live in.
Finally! We can now get back to the "substantive discussion" of how important the borough of New York City that a justice grew up in is in shaping their worldview…
"They would all say the identities forged in these various boroughs propelled them forward and contributed to how they see themselves and how others see them," said Ms. Biskupic, the Scalia biographer. "I was interviewing Justice Alito about jumping in at oral argument when you're a new justice and how do you get a word in edgewise. We were talking about the temperament of a Scalia and a Ginsburg, and he said, as somebody from Trenton, he knows how to mix it up with them."
I, personally, cannot see how a person can formulate a coherent opinion on the constitutionality of corporate political spending if they cannot grasp the simple concept that the N express train effectively turns into the W local train after 9 pm. This is worldview shaping stuff here.

Product description
- Total Pages: 304
- Genre: Coping with disability
- Secondary Genre: Sports & outdoor recreation, Travel tips & advice: general
- Illustrations: (1x8pp colour plates)
Nigel has a disability - an inherited disease that means his nerves don't tell his muscles what to do - but he does not consider himself disabled. His youngest daughter Ellie has been diagnosed with the same condition. To inspire Ellie, and show her anything is possible, Nigel set himself a list of fifty challenges. This is the story of that list. Nigel and his wife Lisa have three children and, like all parents, they have always wanted the best for their kids. For Nigel, this meant helping them to understand that life is to be challenged: to be explored and enjoyed, no matter what obstacles you might have to face. Even during the darkest times, Nigel has never let anything stop him from realising his dreams. To inspire his youngest daughter, and let her see firsthand that anything is possible, Nigel set himself a list of 50 challenges to complete before he turned 50. Some are crazy, wild physical challenges, others are seemingly simple tasks people often take for granted. Some are activities Nigel has done before, others are skills he has learnt to cope with his condition that he wants to share with other people. All of them hold huge emotional significance to Nigel and his family. This is the heart-warming account of the year Nigel completed The 50 List. Inspiring and surprising, it will move you to tears and laughter, and leave you believing that you really can accomplish anything.
Author's Biography
Nigel is 49 years old - he turns 50 in December 2012. He has a disability, and is in a wheelchair, but does not consider himself disabled. Nigel has a muscle wasting condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth. It's an inherited disease that means the nerves don't tell the muscles what to do. The muscles themselves are fine, but they don't receive signals from the brain, which means they'll eventually waste away. The deterioration happens in sudden steps, rather than gradually - one day Nigel might be able to use a certain muscle fine, the next day he can't. Nigel and his wife Lisa live in Wellingborough with their three children. Their youngest daughter Ellie inherited Charcot-Marie-Tooth. She was diagnosed with the condition when she was five years old.

Metal Folding Luggage Rack 39 39
The product is flawed The product has webbing to support the suitcase. This webbing is cut so short I doubt any suitcase could be supported. I am going to find webbing to replace the original. May 29, 2014
perfect! The luggage rack is the perfect piece for a guest bedroom. Sturdy, attractive and stores easily! May 24, 2014
Luggage Rack @ Home Very sturdy, very steady, and very reasonably priced . We bought two, the black and the chrome. The black is far better looking. We frequently have visitors and our closet space is limited, so these are a big help. Please read the assembly instructions, and take the time to actually look at the pieces. There are six ways to assemble the pieces, only one of which is correct! April 17, 2014
great value limited sleeping space, and needed place for opened luggage April 5, 2014

The Department of Veterans Affairs is urging all veterans and service members to join the millions already accessing VA health care information and service online. VA is marking this milestone by spreading the word about the benefits of My HealtheVet Personal Health Record, such as VA prescription refill, VA notes, VA Blue Ribbon and secure messaging with VA health care providers.
MyHealtheVet is VA's award-winning website that offers veterans secure access to portions of information in their VA health care records, anywhere and anytime. Its web-based tools give users greater control over their care and wellness, helping them become active partners in their health care.
In addition to allowing veterans access to their records, MyHealtheVet lets veterans save, print and share health information. Veterans who upgrade their accounts, free of charge, can use secure messaging to communicate electronically with their VA health care teams between visits. Veterans can also view VA appointments, get VA wellness reminders, access lab results and more.
Throughout December, coordinators at all 151 VA medical centers organize community events, host enrollment and education health fairs, lead training sessions and work with VA Voluntary Service to showcase how My HealtheVet contributes to more informed and engaged veteran patients. VA continues to build its online health record, adding new online tools and features, and are geared up to accept new enrollees throughout December.
VA encourages veterans and service members to enroll or upgrade at www.myhealth.va.gov. MyHealtheVet is celebrating 10 years of online access.

A group of musicians including Alicia Keys, members of R.E.M., the Roots, Alabama Shakes, Civil Wars, Drive-By Truckers and Talib Kweli have joined a campaign to push the Village Voice to stop running ads on Backpage.com advertising escorts, strip clubs and assorted adult services, the New York Times reports.
Village Voice Media, which includes 12 other alt-weeklies in addition to New York's Village Voice, has been under harsh scrutiny for eight months for running the ads, which allegedly include services that exploit minors.
The musicians who have signed the petition against Village Voice Media's practices are not alone in this fight. Last year all 51 of the United States' attorneys general sent a letter to the company demanding that they remove the adult content from their Backpage.com, and a coalition of 600 religious leaders have put pressure on Village Voice Media by joining forces though the interfaith social justice group Groundswell. Major advertisers such as American Airlines and AT&T have dropped advertising from the company's publications.
Photos: Random Notes
R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills said in a statement that musicians speaking out against the Voice's practices despite their excellent music coverage "should send a clear message to the company that it needs to take action to ensure no child is sexually exploited through use of its site."

Two of four runways will close as part of federally mandated improvements. CNET takes a look at the technology and gets a tour of SFO's runways.
On May 10, 2011, the first regularly scheduled Airbus A380 flight arrives at San Francisco's airport with a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt.
The first scheduled Airbus A380 will land at San Francisco International Airport tomorrow with a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt. CNET will be there to bring you the aircraft in all its huge glory.
A few days before its grand opening, CNET takes a walk through the revamped and Earth-friendly Terminal 2 at San Francisco International Airport.
Computer that held names, addresses, and birthdates for people applying for airport security clearance is found in same office from which it was supposedly stolen.
In order to meet a federal directive, the airport will close two runways this summer to install a special concrete material that will bring runaway aircraft quickly to a stop.
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg posts to the social network, saying she was originally planning on taking an Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul, South Korea, that wound up crashing at San Francisco's main airport. Two people have reportedly died as a result of the crash.
Get notified when a friend or family member leaves or arrives at a location of your choosing with Find My Friends 2.0.
As complaints mounted, one passenger stuck on the runway pledged on Twitter to "continue to rant about United Airlines till my plane takes off." United now says the problem is under control.
Before heading home for the holidays, I would advise you to have Airport Guide at the ready for the inevitable layover that lasts longer than expected.

Election Day is always a hectic day, especially when it comes time to coordinate voting with school traffic.
In some communities, public schools opt to close on Election Day for various reasons including safety and ease of access to the polls.
Here in Newton, 16 of the city's 26 polling locations are public schools, all of which stay open during Election Day.
Woburn Public Schools stay open as well, but after Sen. Scott Brown stopped by Woburn's Reeves Elementary School yesterday, some parents took to Facebook to express their concern about safety of students on Election Day.
Tell us how you feel: Should Newton schools close during the election? Or should the city keep students in schools and use it as a teachable moment? Tell us in the comments below.

I'm at CyberTime at Petaling Street now…moved at around noon today and I've just grabbed some lunch:

Anyway, the good thing about CyberTime is they have relatively fast
net access (400 KBps sustained) so I can upload my CF Card stuff up to
my server and free up the space so I can take more photos. :) I haven't
experimented with the advanced settings yet, but I'm happy with the
image quality so far. It's a 5 MP digicam w/ 8x optical zoom, best
thing about it is, it uses the standard (well, proprietry for all
non-Nikon owners ;)) 2CR5 rechargable Lithium Ion battery, so I have
two batteries instead of one (the other one is from my broken digicam).

Well…I've put up the procession photos from yesterday, it's in the
post below. I'm feeling tired today due to waking up early for
breakfast, so I'll update again tomorrow. See ya everyone.

P/S – Nigel, I got your SMS, sorry for not replying, the same thing
happened (lost msg after reading it)…a very serious problem I need to
isolate and retify soon. Thanks for the message. :)

"No. I'm fine," she says. "I'll be fine."
Skillful thesis and accurate writing! Certainly I am a professor in Math but I am very excited by this thesis. While I do not agree with all you claim. I recognize the fact that we all have our imagining on diffrent issues and there is no emergency to agree on all complications with others.
I have to be tight lipped germane to.
I like when you talk about this type of stuff in your posts. Perhaps could you continue to do this?

The West Country region
The North Devon Coast
For spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches whatever the season, there's no better place in England than North Devon coast and in particular Croyde. The beaches are recognised as possibly some of the finest and cleanest in Europe - with two miles of soft golden sand, plenty of rock pools and amazing surf.
The coastline is as rugged as it is beautiful dotted with magnificent cliffs, tiny cove and picturesque harbours. It was once the haunt of smugglers, pirates and wreckers and the fascinating history is retold in many small museums along the coast. Today visitors who love Henry Williamson's famous Tarka the Otter can retrace Tarka's journey by following the Tarka Trail.
Croyde is ideally located within easy reach of the harbours of Clovelly and Lynmouth which are also perfect places to relax. Meander through the streets of Lynmouth and take a ride on the unique water powered cliff railway to the twin town of Lynton which is perched high on the cliffs. Clovelly is another of the prettiest coastal village where it feels as if time stood still. The only means of transport on these famous cobbled streets are donkeys and sleds.
Along the coastline surrounding a natural harbour is Ilfracombe with its Victorian architecture, Esplanade and famous Tunnels Beach. The harbour is always busy with fishing boats sailing in and out together with the paddle steamer Balmoral which offers day trips to Lundy Island. North Devon has something to offer and appeal to everyone, take time to come and find out for yourselves, we will make you very welcome.
WALK TO – Croyde is a magical place nestling around a stream running down to the sea. This award-winning sandy beach is fine and flat, ideal for children and good for surfing. With Rock pools are in abundance and dunes a haven for young and intrepid explorers. Local fun parks for the children such as Cascades Pool Park are a great way to spend the day. Croyde Bay is renowned as a premier surfing beach destination in England for short and long boards. For the more adventurous, kite surfing, volley ball, kayaking and horse riding is on your doorstep. Within walking distance of Croyde beach enjoy its ice cream shop, gourmet restaurants, superb village pubs, surf shops, and art gallery. This classic 'chocolate-box' village is steeped in old-world charm and echoes the feeling of life in Britain in times gone by. Coastal and Countryside walks include the majestic Croyde cliff path to Baggy Point, (and for those energetic), to Woolacombe and beyond.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 10
September 3, 2013
League Betting Notes
-- Favorites went 3-1 straight up in Week 10
-- Underdogs and Favorites went 2-2 against the spread in Week 10
-- Home teams posted a 3-1 record in Week 10
-- The 'over' went 3-1 in Week 10
Team Betting Notes
-- Saskatchewan (8-1) finally got back on track againts the spread. The Roughriders covered their first five games, but failed to cover their past three until their 48-25 win over Winnipeg (1-8). They meet the Blue Bombers again next Sunday in Manitoba.
-- The Roughriders have averaged 34.7 ppg, highest in the CFL. They'll have a rematch against the Blue Bombers, who have averaged 21.3 ppg, lowest in the CFL.
-- While Edmonton (1-8) is tied for the worst straight-up record in the CFL, the Eskimos continue to be a feisty bunch. The Esks have lost their past five games by a total of just 15 points, and they have covered three in a row.
-- The 'over' has also cashed in seven of Edmonton's nine games this season, the most 'overs' of any team in the CFL. They lost a 37-34 heartbreaker to Calgary (7-2) in Week 10, and will meet the Stampeders again next week at home. The 'over' is 6-3 in Calgary's nine games, so a high-scoring affair is likely yet again.
-- Hamilton (3-6) played a winning team for the first time in four weeks, and they were back on the losing end of things. The BC Lions (6-3) posted a 29-26 win at home, but the Ti-Cats have now covered four consecutive games.
-- Montreal (4-5) stopped Toronto 20-9 on Tuesday night, cashing tickets as a six-point road underdog. The victory for the Alouettes was their first back-to-back win of the season and second on the road. Toronto (5-4) has now dropped two straight games after winning four in a row. The Argonauts are now 3-3 at home.

I ate another one today since it's so hot. It's 6:30 pm now and it's
still 33 degrees Celsius. :( My room is even hotter than that because
of all the heat that was trapped inside previously. Anyway, this one is
called Candy Warhol and is a play on Andy Warhol
[warholfoundation.org], the artist who was perhaps most known for his
drawing of a Campbell soup can. I say this one is the best ice cream in
"The Sixties Nine" line to date! The shell is simply amazing. It's got
sherbet or something like that and it fizzes in your mouth! It's not
that mild fizzing either, it's the loud kind that makes 3D sounds you
can hear inside your head! Whoa…what a head trip. :) The ice cream
tastes very different too…I was wondering what flavor it was until I
read the back. It's musk! It tastes like the Lifesaver musk candy. :)
This is the cover:
Repeated cans of Campbell soup with Candy Warhol on them.
This is the back:
Critics describe this piece as 'brillo'. The chocolate literally
explodes colour into your mouth whilst the musk ice cream is quite
simply stunning. This is not soup – this is ice cream.
This is the Magnum:
White chocolate shell with bits and pieces of colorful sherbet (I
think) and musk ice cream inside! Very different and interesting taste.
This is the stick:
Simply Explosive.
It's too hot!!! To think that it's gonna hit 35 degrees tomorrow…

K-25 demolition resumes after year-and-half pause
Workers today resumed demolition of the historic K-25 facility about a year and a half after work was stopped following completion of the big building's west wing. Work is now under way on the east wing, which was part of the mile-long, U-shaped structure that play a gargantuan role in the nation's nuclear history -- supplying much of the enriched uranium for the U.S. Cold War nuclear arsenal.
DOE has repeatedly stated that K-25 is one of the its top cleanup priorities in Oak Ridge, although an IG report released earlier this week sharply criticized the federal agency's managment of the long-running D&D project..
According to info released by the Dept. of Energy, Earlier today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) began the demolition of Building K-25's east wing.
In a statement, DOE's Oak Ridge cleanup chief John Eschenberg said, "We are excited to begin this phase of the project. The result of our hard work during the past many months allows us to begin this demolition sooner than expected. We are intently focused and looking forward to the successful completion of this work."
Demolition of the west wing was completed in January 2010. Since then, DOE contractor Bechtel Jacobs has been preparing the rest of the big building for tear-down.
Joe Nemec of Bechtel Jacobs said, "Over the past 18 months, BJC has generated almost $45 million in savings that enabled us to safely accelerate the K-25 schedule to the point that allowed east wing demolition to begin today. This accomplishment provides a firm foundation for completing demolition of K-25, and is a credit to our project team."
URS-CH2M Oak Ridge (UCOR) is replacing Bechtel Jacobs as DOE's lead environmental contractor in Oak Ridge, effective Aug. 1.
DOE said the work on the east wing will segregate area contaminated with technetium-99, which is about 20 percent of the facility. That will enable work to progress on demolition while preparations are made for dealing with the higher-rad Tc-99.

Part I: Researching Your Aboriginal Genealogy at Library and Archives Canada
Previous | Table of Contents | Next
RG 10 Records of Particular Interest
Although genealogical information can be found in almost every series of RG 10 fonds, some subjects and series are more likely than others to produce fruitful results in a search for information on aboriginal ancestors. These are described below.
The Indian Registers, 1951-1984
In 1951, the federal government created the first national register of every known individual entitled to Indian status under the Indian Act. This register is currently maintained in a computerized format by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs.
From the date of its establishment, this register has been the single most comprehensive record of status Indians. If your aboriginal ancestor was alive in 1951 and had Indian status then, or was born since 1951 with Indian status, or acquired Indian status since 1951, then this register will include him or her.
A paper copy of the Indian Registers, 1951-1984 is located at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. The registers record the names of all status Indians and contain information on vital events, membership, familial relationships (parents, marriages and children), date of birth, religion, band number and, occasionally, occupation. Finding aid (FA) 10 94 is a computerized file list of the Indian registers that can be searched by band at Library and Archives Canada in the ARCHIVED - Government of Canada Files database as explained in Part II of this guide. The file descriptions often refer to the registers as books, which are arranged in the alphabetical order of the names of the band and band members (e.g., Book 242 - Saugeen Band 123 (A-J), Book 243 - Saugeen Band 123 (K-P), etc.).
These documents have access restrictions. Because the registers constitute an operational record currently maintained by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, the general public should direct their inquiries there. Researchers from that department are advised to contact their records managers.

Nation's largest grocer considers acquisitions
CINCINNATI - CINCINNATI (AP) - The nation's largest grocer, Kroger Co., is interested in getting bigger - but not in buying struggling competitors, CEO David B. Dillon said Thursday.
Dillon said the company sees "plenty of growth opportunities" and has been considering acquisitions. But it is steering away from businesses that are marked down because they fell behind as the recession battered industry profits.
"We look at lots of things, but we're not interested in becoming someone's turnaround artist," Dillon said in an interview after the annual shareholders meeting. "We run good stores and are good at running good stores, and we don't want to buy somebody else's problem."
Dillon said Kroger is most likely to add stores in or near its current markets in 31 states. The company owns Ralphs, Dillons, QFC and other chains, along with Kroger; only Wal-Mart Stores Inc. sells more groceries in the U.S.
"We're very highly selective," Dillon said. "Generally the ones we've looked at more often are the ones in our existing markets and adjacent markets."
Being in competition with the world's largest retailer doesn't pressure Kroger to move into new markets, he said.
"Our acquisition and expansion plans are really designed around what we think works for Kroger; it's not a reaction to, say, Wal-Mart being international," he said.
Kroger reported last week that profits fell 14 percent in the first quarter, while sales rose 9 percent. Dillon told shareholders Kroger has been increasing market share and its based of loyal customers and fared better than most competitors during the recession.
Shareholders at the meeting seemed patient, despite a 30 percent drop in Kroger's share price over the last two years.
"It's not been good, but it's a competitive business and I understand that," said Edward Naberhaus of New Braunfels, Texas. "Kroger is still one of the better ones."
"It's been tough for everybody," said another retiree shareholder, Charles Carter of Cincinnati. He's been adding Kroger shares, seeing a buying opportunity.
"Hopefully, I'll be alive long enough to see the prices come back up," he said with a chuckle.
Shareholders elected the company's slate of directors with 93 percent approval.
Kroger expects earnings of $1.60 to $1.80 per share for the year ahead. Analysts on average expect $1.74.
Kroger's board Thursday increased common stock buyback plans to $500 million, more than doubling the $225 million left under its earlier repurchase plan, and it declared a quarterly dividend of 9.5 cents a share.
Shares were flat at $20.26 Thursday afternoon; they've traded from $19.08 to $24.80 in the last year.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
styledotcom "I would say to to myself, 'One day, you'll be famous.' That was revenge." @YSL stylem.ag/1qQ7fLg pic.twitter.com/Qo9sJzTSie
Last Friday night, Teen Vogue kicked off the weekend with its annual Young Hollywood party to celebrate the silver screen's rising stars. To no one's surprise, Kiernan Shipka ranked among the best dressed of the evening. Stepping out in a black top and silver and black paisley-print pants from Emporio Armani, the 13-year-old starlet consistently masters the fine art of appearing mature and sophisticated yet youthful and age-appropriate at the same time. Modern Family's Sarah Hyland was also in attendance in a white Clover Canyon frock with a playful print that featured everything from colorful florals to skiers racing down the hem of the skirt.
Tilda Swinton, the master of androgynous chic, continues to nail menswear-inspired trends on the red carpet. On Wednesday evening she accepted the Douglas Sirk Award at the Hamburg Film Festival in Germany in an all-black Haider Ackermann pantsuit, accented with a diamond brooch and striking red lips. The following afternoon, Chloë Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore gave us a double dose of Dolce at the unveiling of Moore's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Moretz paired red heels with her blush-pink Dolce & Gabbana dress, while Moore opted for a pale yellow dress with sparkles along the neck and wrists. Meanwhile, on Thursday in Madrid, Hailee Steinfeld donned a black diamond-patterned skirt with a kitschy Markus Lupfer sweatshirt covered in sequined pouty lips to a photo call for her new film, Ender's Game. Paired with knee-high black Stuart Weitzman boots (and bangs!), Steinfeld put a fresh twist on schoolgirl chic.
Here, more of this week's red-carpet highlights.

If you asked anyone 3 months ago where Gilbert Arenas would pop up again in the NBA I bet you 90% would have said the Clippers or Lakers. We would have all been dead wrong, because reports are that Gil has decided to take his talents to the home of Elvis- Memphis, TN!
Gilbert will be signing with the Grizzlies for their playoff push after having an impressive workout. Here are the details
Gilbert Arenas worked out for the Grizzlies on Monday and will sign a contract with the club for the remainder of the season, according to sources.
Arenas hasn't played since the Magic used their amnesty provision upon him in the offseason.
The Grizzlies are thin in the backcourt, as Jeremy Pargo and Josh Selby have been inconsistent.

Fixing White Oak Dam's high-rain vulnerability
Downstream embankment of White Oak Dam is due for an upgrade.
Bechtel Jacobs photo
White Oak Dam, which historically has served as a backstop for ORNL's radioactive discharges, is getting some extra attention and repairs to make sure it doesn't falter under extreme conditions.
"Several enhancements are being made to White Oak Dam to ensure its continued safety," Dennis HIll, a spokesman for federal contractor Bechtel Jacobs, said in an e-mail response to questions. "While some of these activities are beyond what would be considered routine maintenance activities, they are not being implemented in response to any imminent concerns about dam failure."
Hill acknowledged, however, that a 2008 inspection by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission found that an extreme rainfall could spur a sequence of events that ultimately could "compromise the dam's structural integrity."
White Oak Dam was constructed during World War II to prevent discharges from early nuclear operations at Clinton Laboratories (what became ORNL) from free-flowing into the Clinch River and points donwstream. By damming the creek, it created White Oak Lake, which became a rather large settling pond for the radioactive runnoff -- including the leakage from waste burial trenches in the vicinity.
The system wasn't perfect, but the dam contained much of the radioactive material, which found a home in the lake-bed sediments. Over time the lab discharges were reduced, and the radiaoctivity in the sediments -- through the decay process -- dropped from thousands of curies to a few hundred (based on an estimate last year).
Although the radioactive hazard isn't what it once was, it's still important to contain the nuclear legacy, and that's why the Dept. of Energy is footing the bill for a series of upgrades at White Oak Dam.
The repairs and modifications apparently will take place this summer. According to information from Bechtel Jacobs Co., DOE's environmental manager in Oak Ridge, a request for proposals will likely be issued in late May. The subcontract will be up for bids among pre-qualified small businesses (ESI Contracting Corp., DEMCO Inc., M&W Drilling, and Avisco Inc.). A contract is to be awarded in June, with the project scheduled to take about six months.
Hill said there are plans to widen the dam and "armor" the downstream portion of the earthen dam with emplaced rock. Those actions would address the suggestions made by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission following its regular inspection of the Oak Ridge dam in 2008, he said.
"In the 2008 FERC report, engineers concluded that an unusually fast accumulation of rain water in the upstream areas could result in a flow that would actually overtop the dam and cause scourting on the downstream side of the dam," Hill said in a statement. "In turn, this could compromise the dam's structural integrity."
He added: "It should be noted that in the history of the dam this has never occurred, and such conditions are extremely unlikely."
The dam is inspected regularly, and DOE's contractors did additional checks following the disastrous failure of a fly-ash retention pond at TVA's Kingston Plant in late 2008.
The dam was constructed with earthen and rock fill, and it's designed with a spillway to allow water to flow out of the lake, into the White Oak Embayment before reaching the Clinch.
Visiual inspections of the dam are made on a quarterly basis by the facility manager, and FERC performs an inspection once a year, Hill said.
The upgrades are taking place this summer because of FERC's suggestions and because of the availability of funds, he said.
