Today's world is more interconnected, more globalized, and changes more quickly than ever before. When you graduate from Drake we want you to be prepared for the challenges and opportunities presented by this new reality.
This kind of preparation requires more than a few classes devoted to international or multicultural issues. Instead, it means infusing an international perspective throughout your Drake experience, so you gain a better understanding of your own culture and abilities and learn to work with people who have different perspectives, backgrounds, and skills to contribute.
What does this mean for you? It means you can study Spanish in Chile, intern in China, or help build a clinic in Uganda. You can even develop these important cross-cultural skills without ever leaving campus. Every step of the way—whether it's in your classes or during campus activities—Drake will provide valuable experiences and lessons to help you prepare for a successful future as a global citizen.
June, July, August: The Office of Admission is open for individual campus visits and tours Monday-Friday.

It's August 13. The first race of the season is 23 days away. Despite the fact that we've had an unreasonable amount of cyclocross-worthy weather all "summer" here in Seattle, us Kittens are getting pretty damn excited for the Fall.
Shiny new parts have been ordered through team sponsor Recycled Cycles. Race bikes are getting reassembled. Our skinsuits will be en route to Seattle any day now; Big George just has to finish hand sewing each chamois on his Tour of Utah rest days. We as a team have been out in the field every week dialing in our cross skillz.
There's also been a whole lot of practice racing. Cross Club is at it again this year and though it's getting a little too big for its britches (30 racers + spectators apparently draws the ire of Seattle's upstanding park dwellers) it's been great for the fitness and a solid reminder of what it's like to race around in the dirt elbow to elbow with a bunch of other jokers in spandex. Some of our Kittens are looking mighty fast this year. If I was a betting man I'd put some money on seeing pink on the podium this season. Not me, of course. I'm pack fodder, but John, Andrew F, Noah, and Dylan are pretty quick out there.
And, finally, I've been engaging in the most important pre-season ritual a self-respecting cyclocross racer can do. Watching cross videos on CrossTube. If this doesn't get you psyched up for cross, you might just want to reconsider racing:

The Whitby boy, nearly three, has a retinal condition known as advanced bilateral persistent fetal vasculature syndrome or Norrie's disease. Without surgery, he'll lose his vision by the time he's four. But with no qualified surgeons able to treat Liam in Ontario, the Reid family said they have no choice but to seek treatment in Michigan.
However, they have been refused coverage by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan multiple times. The Reids went to Queen's Park Thursday to try to persuade Health Minister Deb Matthews to intervene.
Progressive Conservative Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott, the health critic, brought up Liam's condition during question period: "Minister, Liam needs your help. There are no specialists in Ontario who are able to treat this child ... The appeals process -- you know or should know -- has been completely exhausted. Only you can help this situation."
However, Ms. Matthews stood firm, saying she "cannot intervene in specific cases" but that the out-of-country program is there when expertise is not available here.
"The out-of-country program is a pressure valve. There is a process that one must go through to get approved for ... coverage," said Ms. Matthews, who also met with the Reids privately and assured them proper processes will be followed.
Successful surgery in his left eye was performed by specialists in Michigan. They gave Liam some vision. He can see light and form. The family has paid $45,000 out of their own pockets for his medical care.
However, surgeons at the Hospital for Sick Children were unsuccessful in treating Liam's right eye in 2009, says mom Kristina Reid.
"The vision he did have in his right eye now is completely gone and there is no hope for vision in that eye any longer," she added.
Only two children in Ontario suffer from Norrie's. The Ontario government inexplicably finances the other child's treatment in the U.S.
Liam's physician at SickKids supports the family's request for treatment across the border, Kristina Reid said. "In his words, there was nothing more that could be done locally to treat Liam's condition."

Helping Women Start and Stay in Business
Written by Corinne Garcia Tuesday, May 29 2012
Snapshot: Sue Malone, founder and CEO, Strategies for Small Business
For a woman looking for working capital to get a business off the ground, Sue Malone just may be your best resource and your tireless support system. Traveling 51 weeks a year, meeting or speaking with up to 300 small businesses each week and working most hours of the day, her motivation for helping women start and stay in business goes far beyond her daily duties as the founder and CEO of the San Francisco-based venture capital group Strategies for Small Business. She loves what she does, and 41,000 loans later, she wants to make sure that women don't give up their dreams of starting a small business.
Womenetics: Can you tell me about the path and motivations that led you towards starting Strategies for Small Business?
Sue Malone: I'm what you'd call a serial entrepreneur. When you came out of college in my era, you were a teacher or a nurse. I started as a teacher, and I was making $13,000 a year, while those in business were making a million.
It wasn't long before I went back to school and got a degree in accounting and a Masters in finance. I said, "OK, we're going to try to go into the business world." I didn't have a real game plan, but I knew I liked finance.
I started out in commercial and industrial real estate and became VP of finance, and I was the only woman in the organization. I learned a great deal, and showed up every day in the standard uniform suit. The next generation of women came into the working world through technology. Technology was a game changer, leveling the playing field. Each generation of women helps the next, and we need to continue to do this for women.
Womenetics: What's a typical workday like for you?
Malone: I travel 51 weeks out of the year. I speak or see between 150 and 300 small businesses per week. Today, for instance, I did a radio interview at 5:45 a.m., talking about a woman wanting to launch her book and state of small business lending. By 7 a.m. I'd taken 11 phone calls from the East Coast, all asking about the status of small business lending and where they can obtain working capital loans. At 9:30 a.m. I started in on email. I met with 22 small businesses in the afternoon, have a dinner meeting tonight, and I'll come back to the office to catch up on email again.
Womenetics: What keeps you going?
Malone: I care about small business. So many of them just need to know there's hope, direction and that we're going to get through this economy. They're not all looking for grants, but also hope and leadership. Many have done so many right things but got snagged by the economy.
Womenetics: How do they typically find you?
Malone: Usually through word of mouth, and I team up with different partners. When people call me or see me regarding capital, they walk away with something -- a plan of action, something that's going to help them. If we don't help each other, we don't have a society. We need to continue to network.
Womenetics: How did you launch Strategies for Small Business?
Malone: I started out by speaking to the Small Business Association (SBA). We sat down together and said let's develop a loan program that can really help a small business - one with less than 10 employees.
We went through the regulations and loan programs. We put together a group of leaders, and we pitched it a little different than it actually turned out. We presented it with a twist for both the lenders and the borrowers. It was always presented as a working capital loan for the small businesses. In four days, we have seven loans but needed to make some adjustment for the market place. Never would I have imagined in the 10 years we would have made 41,000 loans.
Womenetics: You hear thousands of pitches for business financing, what makes you say yes?
Malone: People often ask me what business they should get into. I don't have a crystal ball that tells me what business will make it. But trends that I do see are people who understand what they're getting into: a lot of hard work. I look for industry experience, what they've done in the past, if they have the perseverance, and I look at the tenacity. And I can tell after seeing this many. Sure, I'm hoodwinked every once in a while.
They also have to have decent credit, and I can help people get this in line. I don't want people to give up because of that.
Womenetics: What was the most outrageous business plan you've heard?
Malone: I've had moonshiners, marijuana farms -- you name it! I've seen pop-top condom cans!
Womenetics: Are there times when you know it's a fit right away? Why?
Malone: I do see that. I just met with someone, and I could see a market instantly. It was unique, and it had a niche, which is big for me. It was a perfect niche with a story to go behind it. It can't be too complicated; you have to be able to communicate it. If you can't, you can't do it.
Womenetics: What prevents women from starting a business?
Malone: The worst four-letter word is "fear;" that's what stops so many people. Who cares if you fail? Do you think everyone who's made it hasn't failed? No one starts out as a big success; they fail along the way and learn from it.
Womenetics: Any advice we can offer our readers who are interested in seeking financing for a small business?
Malone: Don't give up - there is money out there for you. It might be harder to find, but there is money. If I can help them in any way, to walk them through or talk them through, I want to. We need to work together as women.
We've got to quit sabotaging each other. I see it over and over with the jealous factor, and it's such a shame.
We're building an old girls' network. We already have the old boys' network.
Womenetics: Do you focus on women? Why is that important?
Malone: I have a huge focus on women because women have the hardest time getting access to capital. I don't have an answer for why that is, but in the angel and the venture world it really shows up in the numbers.
Not enough women seek to pitch, and if they're turned down once, they may not go back. They may take it personally, and you can't. This is business.
My goal is to have a women's venture fund run by women for women.
Womenetics: What struggles do you see women face when looking for financing?
Malone: Maybe the banker doesn't think their ideas are strong enough. You need to find a lender that you're comfortable with because it's a relationship. Don't feel like you have to take the first that comes along. Look at things like: is that lender making loans to that type of business? Maybe they already fund too much retail, and they're looking for something else. If they say no, it could be for a whole myriad of reasons. It's not always about you. Don't take it personally, there is a lender out there; there is money out there. It's just harder to find right now.
Womenetics: What do they need to do to successfully present their ideas to a person like you?
Malone: Believe in your idea. Be forthcoming; if you've got any hurdles such as credit issues, be up front. It's so much easier to be proactive than reactive. Just be confident. And if they ask you a question, and you don't know the answer, it's OK to say, "That's a very good question. Let me find out and get back to you."
People get nervous. Believe in yourself, and then you can do anything.
Womenetics: What are some of your other entrepreneurial feats? Can you tell me about selling red Mary Jane's in Russia?
Malone: You know when I said it's OK to fail? Well, I failed there. I'm still waiting for the Russians to pay me! When the iron curtain was coming down, I was looking at photos, and everyone was wearing so many dark colors.
Thirty thousand dollars later, I shipped red Mary Janes to Russia. Did I learn? Yes. Would I have done it differently? Yes. Would I do it again? Yes. It was a great adventure.
One of my favorites was a collaboration between a for-profit and a nonprofit. We taught inner-city teenagers to be entrepreneurs, and they started an ice cream parlor and ran it like a business. It was really great.
Womenetics: What do you enjoy doing away from work?
Malone: I relax. I wouldn't be able to do this if I didn't have such a wonderful husband. We have three children who have been very supportive. I love to play tennis, swim and garden. I'm not a one trick pony!
Womenetics: How do you do it all?
Malone: Sleep is so overrated. I have a metabolism that allows me to do it. Everyone knows what they can and can't do and what their limitations are.

The Rescuer and the Rainbow Bridge
Unlike most days at Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray, damp as a swamp and as dismal as could be imagined. All of the recent arrivals had no idea what to think, as they had never experienced a day like this before. But the animals who had been waiting for their beloved people knew exactly what was going on and started to gather at the pathway leading to The Bridge to watch.
It wasn't long before an elderly animal came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. The other animals, the ones who had been there for a while, knew what his story was right away, for they had seen this happen far too often.
He approached slowly, obviously in great emotional pain, but with no sign of injury or illness. Unlike all of the other animals waiting at The Bridge, this animal had not been restored to youth and made healthy and vigorous again. As he walked toward The Bridge, he watched all of the other animals watching him. He knew he was out of place here and the sooner he could cross over, the happier he would be.
But, alas, as he approached The Bridge, his way was barred, he would not be able to pass. Only those animals who were with their people could pass over Rainbow Bridge.
With no place else to turn to, the elderly animal turned towards the fields before The Bridge and saw a group of other animals like himself, also elderly and infirm. They weren't playing, but rather simply lying on the green grass, forlornly staring out at the pathway leading to The Bridge. And so, he took his place among them, watching the pathway and waiting.
One of the newest arrivals at The Bridge didn't understand what he had just witnessed and asked one of the animals that had been there for a while to explain it to him.
You see, that poor animal was a rescue. He was turned in to rescue just as you see him now, an older animal with his fur graying and his eyes clouding. He never made it out of rescue and passed on with only the love of his rescuer to comfort him as he left his earthly existence. Because he had no family to give his love to, he has no one to escort him across The Bridge.
The first animal thought about this for a minute and then asked, "So what will happen now?" As he was about to receive his answer, the clouds suddenly parted and the gloom lifted. Approaching The Bridge could be seen a single person and among the older animals, a whole group was suddenly bathed in a golden light and they were all young and healthy again, just as they were in the prime of life.
"Watch, and see" said the second animal. A second group of animals from those waiting came to the pathway and bowed low as the person neared. At each bowed head, the person offered a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears. The newly restored animals fell into line and followed her towards The Bridge. They all crossed The Bridge together.
"What happened?"
"That was a rescuer." The animals you saw bowing in respect were those who found new homes because of her work. They will cross when their new families arrive. Those you saw restored were those who never found homes. When a rescuer arrives, they are allowed to perform one, final act of rescue. They are allowed to escort those poor animals that they couldn't place on earth, across The Rainbow Bridge.

Shopping Districts
Trip Ideas
There is nothing like SoHo, Rodeo Drive, or the Magnificent Mile here; the shopping districts in Charlotte are smaller than those in other major cities and far more sprawling.
Even though these areas are considered "shopping districts" by Charlotte standards, it's often impossible to walk from one store to the next. In fact, the shopping districts here—and the city in general—are among the least pedestrian-friendly compared to other cities of this size, and it's sometimes necessary to jump in the car to go from one boutique to the next.
Uptown is home to the largest concentration of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, and cultural and historic attractions in all of Charlotte, but it hasn't been known as a shopping district—until now. You won't find the Gap, BCBG, or Borders here; the shops in Uptown are independent boutiques, not megachains. Even the minimalls—Founders Hall and Latta Plantation—bear little resemblance to traditional malls.
Instead, the collection of stores is smaller and the retailers are all local. The offerings range from designer clothing and one-of-a-kind gifts to books. As a shopping district, Uptown is still growing. Most of the shops are in Founders Hall and the EpiCentre; as new mixed-use developments continue to be added to the skyline, more retailers continue to move to the neighborhood.
South End
Once the site of numerous textile mills, South End has come into its own as a design district. It's the place to find furnishings, fabric, lighting, and accessories (with a few clothing retailers tucked in among the überchic home decor shops for good measure). The selections are varied and tend to be more expensive than other furniture and accessories shops in Charlotte. You're paying for quality; the pieces you'll find in the South End are meant to last.
Since there are no national retailers in the area, the collections are often one-of-a-kind or custom-order pieces. The district occupies a stretch of South Boulevard and spills out into the side streets. In addition to home decor and design boutiques, South End is also home to numerous art galleries and hosts a gallery crawl on the first Friday of every month.
Dilworth is arguably the most developed shopping district in Charlotte. Most of the shops are clustered along East Boulevard between South Boulevard and Scott Street. The bevy of adorable dresses, handmade jewelry, colorful handbags, and luxurious spa products makes Dilworth the best place in Charlotte for a girls' day of shopping and pampering. The location is as pretty as the boutiques, most of which are in renovated houses nestled alongside historic homes on tree-lined streets.
After a quick look at the number of galleries lining the streets of the historic NoDa neighborhood, it isn't hard to guess that you're in the arts district. Dubbed NoDa for its location on North Davidson Street, the small but thriving arts district is home to the greatest concentration of creative businesses in all of Charlotte. It's also the most walkable neighborhood in the city.
The art galleries are located around the intersection of North Davidson Street and East 36th Avenue and range from stark spaces with small contemporary art installations to colorful shops stocked with all manner of handmade goods. Besides the art galleries there are few shops in NoDa, but there are great restaurants and a vibrant live-music scene that make NoDa worth a visit even if you're not into art.
The best time to shop for art is during Gallery Crawls, which take place on the first and third Fridays of the months when most stores are open until 9 p.m. or later.
Myers Park
As one of the oldest neighborhoods in Charlotte, Myers Park is more of a residential enclave than a shopping district. While the neighborhood will always be known best for its stately homes and tree-lined boulevards, it's also home to several independent retailers that have been serving the neighborhood for decades.
The shops in Myers Park are like the homes—expensive. Anything with a higher-than-average price tag can be found here, from wooden toys and luxury bedding to spa products. Since it was designed as a suburb for wealthy automobile owners, getting from one shop to another requires a bit of a drive. Start at the Park Road Shopping Center; it's one of the oldest shopping centers in the city and still retains its 1950s design.
South Park
If you have a penchant for designer clothes and a budget (or credit card) that can support your shopping habits, South Park is the place to be. The selection of high-end shops is unparalleled, with unique boutiques and luxury retailers scattered throughout the neighborhood. Forget walking from one boutique to the next, however, as you might in Los Angeles or New York.
In South Park, the shopping district is clustered in two main areas: SouthPark Mall and Phillips Place—large retail centers that house numerous stores. Here, you'll find all of the fashion staples from the Gap, J. Crew, and Ann Taylor to Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Macy's. The neighborhood is also home to a number of local retailers that stock luxury national and international brands.

Nature in Broken Hill
Broken Hill and the surrounding region provides the perfect opportunity to experience the 'great Australian Outback' with captivating landscapes drenched in light, vast skies, brilliant sunsets and clear nights ablaze with stars.
About Broken Hill
Broken Hill was built on the world's largest silver, lead and zinc mine run by Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP), now Australia's largest mining company.
These days, Broken Hill offers much more than mining tours and museums. There are more than 30 art galleries, with work by artists inspired by the town and surrounding landscapes. Explore the 'Living Desert' Flora and Fauna Sanctuary, 6 km from town, where the Living Desert Sculptures sit on top of hills in the desert reserve. Enjoy an easy walk along the Heritage Trail, taking in many 19th century buildings or drive the Silver Trail that takes you to 100 historic sites.

City Overview Population Located on the Colorado River, Austin is the state capital of Texas and the seat of Travis County. It covers approximately 260 square miles and lies on the Balcones Fault. Its eastern part is plains-like, while the western section consists of gently rolling hills that lead into the Texas Hill Country.
The city's population is almost 750,000, while its metropolitan area numbers approximately 1.6 million people.
Major employers include the state, the University of Texas - Austin, and high-tech companies like Dell, IBM, Apple and Hewlett-Packard.
The city is in the Central Standard time zone. In season, it observes daylight saving time.
The city's sales tax is 8.25%. Its lodging tax is calculated at 15%.
Airports Occupying land that was once Bergstrom Air Force Base, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is the city's impressive aviation facility. Open since 1999, ABIA (identifier code AUS) lies only 8 miles from downtown and hosts carriers like American, Continental and Southwest. The airport features 25 gates, along with a stage where local musicians often perform.
ABIA is served by taxi, bus and limousine service. Rental car desks are available as well. Typically, a taxi ride from the airport to downtown will run around $20.
For a more leisurely, group-oriented commute, consider SuperShuttle (512-258-3826), a van service that transports passengers to and from homes and hotels. Catching a ride from the airport doesn't require reservations, but if you need to schedule a shuttle into ABIA, it's best to book in advance. One-way trips range from $10-15, depending on where you're going in the city; round-trip journeys range from $18-26.
Transportation While the original part of Austin was conceived of as a grid, since the city expanded, that pattern has not continued. Even so, the downtown area is relatively easy to navigate, and even on foot, it's pleasantly maneuverable.
Major north-south thoroughfares in Austin include I-35 (also known as NAFTA Highway since it runs down to Mexico) and its counterpart to the west, Loop 1 (more familiarly called the Mo-Pac Expressway since it traces a path similar to the Missouri-Pacific railway). Prominent routes moving east to west through the city include Highway 290, Highway 183 and State Highway 71.
Since driving and parking in Austin, particularly downtown, can be trying, it's recommended that visitors make the most of public transportation. Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority operates dozens of buses with affordable fares ($1 or less, exact change required). They can be reached at www.capmetro.org or at 512-474-1200.
Better yet, Capital Metro runs a host of color-designated buses and trolleys known as the 'Dillo system that deliver visitors to many of downtown and central Austin's best sights, attractions, shops and more all for free! Check with them to see which bus corresponds to what you want to see or do.
News Resources
If you're trying to get immediate, written insight into Austin, a variety of publications helps keep folks abreast of the latest goings-on.
The major daily publication is the Austin America-Statesman, which covers both news and entertainment. Its weekly adjunct, XL, focuses largely on entertainment matters. So, too, does The Austin Chronicle, an independent that tracks city life on a weekly basis. For news with a collegiate slant, pick up a copy of the UT's Daily Texan. Conventions & Tourism As much as you plan a trip, you can never hope to know a city like locals do. That's why visitors centers are such a great resource. Check them out for recommendations on lodging, dining and local attractions. Their collection of resources is sure to give you a leg up on everything you need to do and see.
The Austin Visitor Center distributes brochures, helps book events and tours, and offers free Internet access. It's located at 209 East Sixth Street, Austin, TX 78701 (866-462-8784). This downtown office is open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm and Sat-Sun 9am-6pm; it's accessible online at http://www.austintexas.org/visitors/center.
Tipping Standards Although tipping is generally a personal matter, there are some guidelines that prove helpful to travelers. At restaurants, servers typically get 15% of the bill, although 10% acknowledges basic assistance, and 20% awards exceptional service. It is also common now for some restaurants to charge an automatic gratuity of 18% for groups. You should be aware of this possibility before providing an additional tip. Taxi drivers usually fit into similar guidelines by receiving a tip equivalent to 15% of the tab.
Often, a dollar tip covers many situations. Bartenders are customarily given $1 per cocktail, hotel maids are provided $1-2 for each day of a stay, bellhops get about $1 per bag, and a coat-check clerk typically receives $1 as well. The exception is a concierge, who generally receives $5-$10 for standard service (additional assistance suggests more).

I am miserable. The itching is miserable. I'm sick of the candida diet and discouraged. Woke up this morning and my candida white tongue was even whiter and furrier than normal. I only slipped up a little. I am so discouraged and itchy and I feel so defeated right now. Plus, early menopause. I really could kill a dead rat right now I am so miserable.
I just need some love today

A bill that would require candidates seeking office in Louisiana to clear any outstanding fines with the state Ethics Board awaits Gov. Bobby Jindal's signature.
Senate Bill 195 by state Sen. Lydia Jackson, D-Shreveport, had what you might characterize as a perfect transit to Jindal's desk: It passed both chambers of the Legislature unanimously without amendment. Assuming the governor signs the bill, candidates who owe more than $250 in outstanding ethics fines would be prohibited from qualifying to run for office; this applies to incumbents as well, which could impact the presumed reelection bid of District 3 Lafayette City-Parish Councilman Brandon Shelvin, who, according to the board's website, is on the hook for $1,900 for failing to file a supplemental campaign finance report.
Current law allows candidates with outstanding fines to enter into a payment plan agreement with the board before qualifying. But as Ethics Board Administrator Kathleen Allen told the House & Governmental Affairs Committee while speaking in support of the bill last week, "Certainly some habitual candidates, they enter into a payment plan, they run, they lose and they don't pay their fines."
Due to a weak enforcement system, the Ethics Board is owed hundreds of thousands of dollars by scores of candidates and office holders dating back decades. Read more about that here.
MAY 23 Here's a story in the Picayune about some statistics that must come as a blow to folks who believe that any private school can do a better job of educating kids than any public school: Danielle Dreilinger reports that only 30 percent of the voucher kids are passing. That's less than half of the state wide average, she says. It's an interesting statistic because most of the schools (if not all) taking voucher kids have never had their students' standardized test scores released to the public before.
MAY 23 Stephen Sabludowsky blogs on Bayou Buzz about auditor requests here. Recently the state GOP started crowing about a request from the Legislative Auditor, claiming they were being targeted because of their anti-tax stance. (Uh, your what?) Denial and hyperbole aside, the state Democratic party blew holes in that theory with an email announcing they'd received the same request, Sabludowsky writes here.
MAY 23 Jim Brown blogs about the senate race in this post. He says that, given Bobby Jindal's "lack of traction" on the national stage, it might make more sense for the governor to consider running against Mary Landrieu for the senate seat. Since Tim Teeple left the Cassidy team, it makes sense he might land on a Jindal for Senate team, Brown opines.
MAY 23 In this Louisiana Voice post, blogger Tom Aswell writes of rumors that his nemesis, state Superintendent of Education John White, may be soon departing Louisiana for a federal post. It's hard to believe, given his performance, Aswell says, but stranger things have happened. An anti-White BESE member says that, if true, White is quitting before he can be fired.
MAY 23 In this post on American Zombie, blogger Jason Berry writes about the Mother's Day shooting. Mayor Landrieu said that "this is not who we are," but the fact is, this is New Orleans, Berry writes. The violence infused in the city is the result of a culture created by "sins of omission or sins of commission," Berry writes. It's not a problem that can be solved by legislating, policing, praying or publicizing, he says: Someone's got to understand what's happening first.
MAY 23 This post in the Westside Journal tells us what Port Allen Mayor Deedy has been up to lately: vetoing ordinances, apparently. This story is most interesting, however, when it delves into a petition that has been circulating around the city lately. It accuses the former mayor of a lot of nasty things; the former mayor says it is full of lies and "broken syntax" which may be a larger offense in his eyes.
MAY 23 This editorial posted in The Advocate is a bit confusing. The writing is poor - definitely not up to the usual editorial writing standard there - and the point is hard to grasp. Apparently, the writer is saying that privatization of state efforts is OK, as long as there is oversight and transparency, but Jindal's not good at that, and the legislature shouldn't over-react. Okey Dokey. Can't they get one of them Pulitzer-winning people to write an editorial?
MAY 23 This post on The Lens gives you links to a new Google Earth tool that allows you to see any spot on earth transform over the past 30 years. Bob Marshall, who covers the coast for the paper, says that in the case of Louisiana's coastline, it's possibly something you don't want to see, because it's not a pretty picture. There are several clips here, showing critical areas erode away. For Marshall, it was vindication for all those times he was met with eye-rolling when he talked about erosion.

Send a question and I will try to answer.
Brownie Heart Tartlets
Prep time:
45 minutesBaking time:
15 minutes"Grandma called these treats "tartlets," but we called them "choc-choc cookies" because of the double dose of chocolate: a chocolate cookie shell with a brownie filling."
Serves 36
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- Confectioners sugar
- Mini candy hearts
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar and cocoa and process until blended. Add the butter and process until the mixture is crumbly. Add 2 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla; process until a dough forms.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass with a 2 1/2-inch diameter, cut out rounds of dough. Reroll scraps as needed.
Carefully press the rounds into the cups of heart-shaped mini muffin pans. Trim off excess dough by gently pressing a dull knife along the tops.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted chocolate, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, remaining 1 tablespoon milk and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of the filling into the dough shells in each heart cup.
Bake the tartlet cookies until the filling has set, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack to cool slightly. Carefully remove cookies from the pans; cool completely. Decorate the cooled tartlet cookies with confectioners sugar and candy hearts.
Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma didn't panic if the rounds of dough tore. She would simply press the pieces together when placing the dough into the muffin cups.

Hey Parents, Turn Your Kids Onto Josh Shipp
Mammas don't let your babies grow up to be little Mofo's.
What I mean by that is… depending upon your level of conservatism there are a lot of things that I say or do that probably should not be aired in front of your kids. I'm not the ideal role model for a bunch of 17 year old Mormon boys about to embark on a spiritual mission.
On the other hand, I'd like to introduce you to a guy that you should introduce your kids to if you want them to embark on a solid, mature and responsible path to adulthood. His name is Josh Shipp.
Josh is a motivational speaker for teens and I just totally dig his stuff. I think a bunch of adults could do themselves some good to listen to him as well.
I can't exactly remember how I came across his stuff. I think it may have been a Facebook message he sent me about this hip hop song he put together with a few buddies. The song is about graduating from school in the year 2010.
I'm super picky about the kind of hip hop music I like. I mean, really picky. It's hard to earn my respect in the hip hop world as so much of it is over inflated hype, violent, fictional garbage and blatant lies. Josh takes another approach and blew my mind with this video…
Good stuff huh? I told ya.
Anyhow, I posted this blog because I'm sure there are many of you out there with 14 to 18 year old kids that are in need of some type of guidance. And lets face it, kids need as many good role models as they can find out there today. Especially with easy access to just about everything on the internet.
So today I thought I would introduce you to Josh Shipp and his amazing talent to inspire young kids to become great adults. I haven't met him personally, but am confident he is one solid guy that is on a path to doing astonishing things for himself and others around him.
Here's another clip of Josh from his website and a couple of links to follow him around the web. Enjoy…

Several health care professionals tell us Britney has fallen into a "manic state" due to her bipolar disorder. We're also told she arrived at the hospital this morning at around 2:15 AM, but wasn't admitted until 4:15 AM because she was causing such a scene in the hospital.
We first reported that Britney accused her mother of sleeping with her boyfriend. Now we have more. We're told Britney screamed, "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend! She wants to sleep with my boyfriend!!" Britney never said exactly who she was talking about.
When Brit calmed down, she talked about her kids, how much she misses them and how it's unfair that she doesn't have them.

I hand-embroider these birds on Osnaburg cotton fabric and permanently glue them into a quality 7" woodgrain flexi-hoop. I place a cool vintage fabric on the back along with a stabilizing white fabric for a nice, clean look. These are one of a kind, so the fabric backing and buttons pictured aren't necessarily the ones you will receive.
My embroideries are made specifically for you, so please allow 5-7 days for me to complete. I ship securely from London, so it may take up to 10 business days for it to arrive. Thanks!

Health Matters with Dr. David: Stress Test
By: Lindsey Bryant
Updated: September 7, 2012
"Just a little scared... apprehensive."
She wasn't afraid of what Dr. Lynn Davis might have her do... but what he might say. You see Deb has a heartbreaking family history of heart disease.
"My mother passed away at 64 with a massive heart attack and then my sister passed away when she was 59."
And Deb has other risk factors too...
"She has an elevated c-reactive protein level which puts her at some increased risk of having heart disease. Plus she had some chest pains, " says cardiologist Dr. Lynn Davis.
This stress test is the simplest and quickest way to find out if she's has coronary artery disease.
"There aren't too many things in medicine that have immediate feedback and a stress test is one of them."
Dr. Davis and his staff can look at real-time data including heart rate, blood pressure, and EKG... all while Deb goes for a brisk walk.
"Stress tests are not recommended to screen healthy individuals or those with known heart disease who are stable. Only if symptoms have changed or, like Deb, a diagnosis of coronary artery disease suspected should a stress be done."
"We just discovered I think that your blood pressure, as good as it may look when you're at rest just sitting around it has a tendency to really spike up there."
To Deb's relief... everything else looked normal..
"I was just afraid to go find out or hear the words."
Funny how things work. The stress test Deb was so worried about ended up reducing her anxiety... a prescription will reduce her blood pressure.
"I just feel like a big relief off my shoulders."
So if your doctor recommends a stress test remember it's really no sweat...

Research Summary
The Asbury group seeks to understand and control molecular species that determine electrical properties of emerging low temperature solution processed photovoltaic (PV) materials based on conjugated molecules and nanocrystalline systems. The group developsultrafast infrared electro-optical spectroscopies to probe the electrical properties of emerging PV materials while simultaneously revealing the nature of molecular species that give rise to those properties through the vibrational modes of the molecules. The fundamental spectroscopic studies are deeply nested in on-going collaborations with device developers such that functional electronic materials are examined enabling direct correlation of device performance, molecular properties, and fundamental charge transport, trapping, and recombination dynamics. Fundamental insights about how molecular species influence electrical properties are used to inform on-going work in next-generation PV research aimed at disruptive technologies to overcome current cost and performance limitations of silicon and thin film PV.
Many emerging electronic materials targeting high throughput low temperature processing are molecular in nature. Examples include organic semiconductors for organic solar cells in which the active electronic materials consist of conjugated molecules or polymers. Inorganic material systems involving molecular moieties include colloidal quantum dot or nanocrystalline PV systems in which molecular ligands are used to passivate dangling bonds and facilitate strong electronic coupling between nanocrystals. The utilization of molecular species either as active materials or as precursors causes the structure and characteristics of molecules to figure prominently in the electronic properties of the materials. Electrical techniques have long existed to characterize with high sensitivity charge carrier mobilities, defect state densities and their energetic distributions in materials. However, the techniques do not provided detailed information about the molecular species that give rise to these properties. The electro-optical techniques we develop uniquely fill this void. We focus on several classes of materials including organic and colloidal quantum dot photovoltaics as well as novel materials for flexible electronics and display technologies.
Many of the unique capabilities the Asbury group has demonstrated take advantage of the sensitivity of vibrational modes of molecules to their local molecular environments. This is why we take the counter-cultural position that vibrational spectroscopy provides unique opportunities to study electronic processes in materials. For example, the ultrafast solvatochromism assisted vibrational spectroscopy (SAVS) technique we demonstrated uses this sensitivity to directly measure electron transfer and charge transfer state dissociation dynamics at buried interfaces in organic PV materials. The sensitivity also allows us to identify molecular species on surfaces of inorganic nanocrystals that are related to the transport states in colloidal quantum dot PV materials. Th sensitivity of vibrational modes to their environments derives largely from the influence that local electrostatic potentials have on the frequencies of molecular vibrations. We also take advantage of this influence to probe local electrostatic potentials in the active sites of proteins.

Global Pharmacy Support Workforce Survey
On behalf of its member the University of Canberra, the Alliance would like to invite its members to participate in the 2012 Global Pharmacy Support Workforce Review for Non-Pharmacist Roles.
Efficacious and accessible medications are integral to the health care system. To efficiently procure, transport, store and supply medications it is essential that workers are adequately trained. In low income countries, the shortage of pharmacists has required other health workers to have extended responsibilities. In developed countries pharmacists working with capable support staff have more time for clinical activities.
This survey will examine the size and variety of roles in the Pharmacy Support Workforce, including the expected responsibilities, education/training requirements, accreditation and registration. The results of this survey will be made freely available through publication, serving as an adjunct to the International Pharmaceutical Federations 2012 Global Pharmacy Workforce Report.
The survey is open until 9 April. It will take around 20 minutes to complete.

Radiohead inspire ballet
- Artists:
- The Prodigy »
- Towers of London »
The music of Radiohead has been used as the basis for a ballet set to make its stage debut at the Edinburgh International Festival in August.
Ride The Beast charts choreographer Stephen Petronio's (pictured) affection for the band; pulling a handful of songs from the band's lengthy back-catalogue and using them to make thin people dance. Not unlike the role of DiS DJ Mike Diver at Chalk before it closed for business, then.
Petronio, whose ballet will open to the sounds of 'Fitter Happier' on the 18th-20th August, said this to Scottish 'paper The Herald: "Radiohead's music is a brilliant investigation of achingly modern taste.
"They sail through genre and form effortlessly and passionately, and their music demands a physical response from me that by-passes reason. I have to live with music so intimately while creating with it, I simply have to work with music I love."
Which is, despite its clumsy pretentiousness, undeniably a logical sentiment. Other music Petronio has loved enough to work with includes that written by Rufus Wainwright, James Lavelle, Wire, Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed.

I think I've lost all interest in Radiohead now.
Great. I'll add it to the list:
- Remix album
- String quartet tribute
- Bluegrass tribute
- Reggae tribute
- Classical piano tribute
- Another reggae tribute
- Another remix album
- Cover album
- Marching band
- Ballet
- Muse
classic piano guy did two cds...
why aren't they all inspired by radiohead to do something original?
i think
the bluegrass one is my favourite, followed by Radiodread.
-there was one to the music of nick cave
-carlos acosta did one to jimi hendrix music
-the ballet boys performed 'i bet you look good on the dancefloor' as an encore to their latest show
-sigur ros and radiohead both contributed the music to a merse cunningham production about 4 years ago
-A peice comisiioned to celebrate the anniversary of the queen of holland was to musicology by prince.
-there was one by richard alston that charted new york punk.....
i could go on...
I reckon modern dance is one of the best places to see some modern music-particularly electronica- ive seen scanner and various other electronic artists provide scores....and a lot have been pretty great.
and that deerhoof one
gawd bless em
I love ballet!
I want to see this.

An establishment of Old-World sophistication and elegance..
The Scene
The ornate decorations of this hotel, which has hosted Robert Frost, Helen Keller and Louis Armstrong, include original pieces from its 1909 opening as well as Victorian replicas. Take note of the 1908 Otis elevator with its stained-glass ceiling and antique wrought-iron doors (wait for an operator--don't try it yourself). During the hotel's various renovations, treasures such as World War I medical stretchers have been discovered.
The Details
The rooms are luxurious and comfortable, filled with antique furnishings. Located on the edge of the Pearl Street Mall, this is downtown Boulder's only hotel, drawing a corporate crowd along with a continental one. The hotel recommends reserving rooms a couple of months in advance; it's usually full May through October. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, visitors can enjoy a quiet holiday escape during the hotel's slowest time.

In 1894, at the age of 17, Ahn became a member of the Tongnip Hyophoe "Independence Association," which promoted independence from Japan and worked to reform domestic affairs and reduce dependence upon foreign countries. But the group's activities were interrupted by the conservative ruling class, so, Chai-pil, leader of the group, went into exile in the United States. This strengthened Ahn's belief that Koreans themselves were to blame their failures and thus victory must come from within. He returned to his home town and established the Chomjin School, the first private modern school established in Korea.
Among the first Koreans to emigrate to United States in 1902 were Ahn Chang-Ho and Rhee Syngman, who was later to become the first president of the Republic of Korea. Once in United States, Ahn Chang-Ho established groups within the Korean community in support of the independence of the Korean people. In 1903, Ahn organized a fraternity that became the Kungminhoe (Korean National Association), which inspired Korean immigrants toward a movement for national independence. The group published a newspaper called "Kongnip Shinmun."
Upon learning of the Japanese protectorate treaty enforced on Korea in 1906 following the Russo-Japanese war, Ahn returned home in 1907. He organized an underground independence group in Pyong--An Province called Shinmin-Hoe (New Peoples' Association). The Shinmin-Hoe was associated with Protestant organizations and was dedicated to promoting the recovery of Korean independence through the cultivation and emergence of nationalism in education, business, and culture.

Ice hockey, boxing, ice dancing, water skiing, fencing, wakeboarding, rodeo, gymnastics … are all sports that high school students in Florida compete in and have an opportunity to continue competing in at college or on the national and international levels, but none of those sports are offered by the Florida High School Athletic Association and probably never will be.
What sports would you like to see offered as official high school sports, or what sports are offered by the FHSAA that you do not think should be? In recent years, bowling, lacrosse and water polo have become recognized sports by the FHSAA. Are there others that should be added? Of course the FHSAA and Florida's public high schools are limited by gender-equity laws, but this list doesn't have to be.

UCLA Football Signing Day Wrapup, Part Two - Offense
Part two of Bruins Nation's wrapup of UCLA Football's Signing Day - Offense
Part two of Bruins Nation's wrapup of UCLA Football's Signing Day - Offense
Part one of Bruins Nation's recap of the 2011 football signees.
More disturbing questions raised about Rocky Seto, a so called "finalist" for the defensive coordinator position for Rick Neuheisel's UCLA program.
After 2 months without a defensive coordinator, is UCLA considering hiring unproven and under-qualified Seattle Seahawks and USC assistant Randy Seto? UCLA Football deserves better than THIS.
While Bruin fans are unhappy about Rick Neheisel's apparent selection of former Pete Carroll waterboy as his "defensive coordinator," they are appreciative of the signing of elite defensive tackle Kevin McReynolds on national signing day.
It's the first Wednesday of February and that can only mean one thing...Signing Day! It's pretty incredible that a day where 17 and 18 year olds sign and fax a piece of paper to a college is as...

About Me Practical
I bought this hutch to go with the lateral filing cabinet. I did not know whether I would like it and you are basically sold into keeping it because it bolts through the laterial filing cabinet top (i.e., if you decide you do not like it, you have two big screw holes in the top of the filing cabinet where you had the shelves mounted). It's nice and I will use it, but I was not as impressed with it as I was the lateral cabinet. It seems a bit unstable having only the bolts supporting it through the bottom and the weight limits for the shelves are lower than I expected. Regardless, it looks well-made and is classy. It definitely dresses up the office.

Completes my home office/den set-up. Goes on top of my two-drawer file cabinet and blends well with the matching computer desk/hutch, executive style desk and two bookcases. Cherry finish is elegant, construction is solid, and use is practical -- a great value overall.

LAKELAND – Florida's football team started the offseason with 100 percent of the players on campus enrolled in Summer A, Will Muschamp said Tuesday. Classes started Monday for the first session of summer school, and Muschamp said it's common to have perfect enrollment.
Muschamp spoke to the media before a Gator Gathering here with the Polk County Gator Club at the Lakeland Center.
"They need to be in shape. They need to get stronger," he said. "So they understand the things they need to work on and then, obviously, from there, they've gotta have ownership within the team to do a great job of making sure each other are working."
A few other brief updates from tonight's gathering:
– Muschamp came to Lakeland on his 13th wedding anniversary. He joked that he hasn't received any grief yet from his wife, Carol, but might when he gets home.
Asked by a fan how long he'd been married, he quipped, "13 years. Believe me, I outkicked my coverage. I can recruit."
– Florida hasn't had other roster changes since the transfer of LB Graham Stewart was announced last week, Muschamp said.

The Coalition for Community Justice was started in March 2006 by a group of students concerned about the treatment and wages of Eckerd College housekeepers, facility and maintenance workers. The group designed an action plan and worked with the administration at school to devise a way to raise wages for the workers. For the 2006-2007 school years the housekeepers all received raises due to the college and ECOS donating money to the club. The Coalition also does activities to show appreciation to the staff members at school. These activities include cook outs, holiday and thank you gifts.
