Sportsdrome News & Updates
April 23, 2013
It was the Dromers time to shine this past Saturday as the Sportsdrome and Kentuckianna Tank Wash presented the 19th Annual Dromer 50 Twin 50 Championship. Two 50 lap features were ran, one on the Oval course and one on the Figure 8. The driver having the lowest points total following the completion of both features would be the over-all Champion. The Lucas Oil FWD Oval cars ran a 50 lap feature as did the KY Clutch FWD Figure 8 class. Qualifying was first on the program with John King turning the fast lap of 17.162 seconds in the FWD Ovals. Brian Krebs set the fast time of 23.012 seconds for the FWD Figure 8 cars. Nick Johnson's time of 16.281 seconds was not only the fast Dromer time but set a new track record as well, giving Johnson two track records. He holds the ICA Dumpster Oval Xtreme record.
Nick Johnson turned in a wire to wire performance to claim victory in the first 50 lap race, putting all but the second and third place cars down a lap. Ronnie Basham gave a good chase to finish second, followed by Todd Hash, Raymond Johnson and Doug Wicker. Raymond Johnson took control on the 23rd lap of the Figure-8 50 lap feature with Nick Johnson taking second. It was an all out battle from that point on with Raymond keeping control for the win. Nick Johnson finished second followed by Jeff Roberts, Joe Moore and Mike Bivens. When the points were totaled, Nick Johnson's first and second place finishes named him the over-all winner. Second place saw a tie between Roberts/Basham and Raymond Johnson. Qualifying times were used as a tie breaker which gave second place over-all to Roberts/Basham with Raymond Johnson, Scott Bruner and the team of Tony Dunn/Harold Murphy completing the top five over-all. Jamie Bierman outran John King for the win in the FWD Oval race. King finished second followed by Austin Baum, Colt Moore and Chris Maynard. Brian Krebbs claimed victory in the FWD Figure 8 feature. Bubby Gedling was second followed by John Kennybrook, Moore and Billy Higgins Jr. A special shout out to newcomer Tyler Redden after winning for the first time in the FWD Last Chance Race. The Legends were on hand as well, with Taylor Webb holding off his brother Alec for the win. Alec finish second followed by Jack Dossey III, Jack Dossey Jr. and Gerrald Tripp.
Join A Kentuckiana Racing Tradition
In operation since 1947, Sportsdrome Speedway is the Home of Short Track Racing in the Louisville and Southern Indiana area. The only asphalt track in Kentuckiana to feature Oval action and the thrill of Figure 8 Racing, Sportsdrome Speedway is the ultimate weekly Auto Racing attraction for Drivers and Fans!

Revolution U18 Christian Sady Called Into U.S. U18 Men's National Team Camp
The following was submitted by Revolution Soccer.
New England Revolution Under-18 defender Christian Sady (North Andover, Mass.) is among the 24 players called in by U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team head coach Javier Perez for the team's November training camp, which will be held from Saturday, Nov. 17, to Saturday, Nov. 24, in Carson, Calif.
During the camp, the U18 Men's National Team will play a pair of games against Canada, which are scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 21 and Friday, Nov. 23. Both games will kick off at 12 p.m. ET.
This is Sady's first call-up to camp with the U18s, and he is one of 21 players that are currently part of U.S. Soccer Development Academy clubs.
Sady is currently in his fourth season with the Revolution's youth development program. At the conclusion of the 2011-12 season, the defender earned Under-15/16 Eastern Conference Starting XI honors by the Development Academy and trained with the Revolution first team during the summer months.
A former member of the U.S. U15 Boys' National Team from 2009-10, Sady attended U15 training camps in Florida and New Jersey. He was also a member of the U14 Boys' National Team from 2008-09 and attended training camps in Guadelajara, Mexico; Carson City, Calif., and Zarephath, N.J.

For most full-term and short-term programs, students complete both the appropriate Fordham application and the application of their chosen program. If you are a non-Fordham student seeking to apply to a Fordham-run program (such as Fordham in Granada or London Dramatic Academy), you should also consult with your home campus study abroad office. All study abroad applicants should carefully review the Study Abroad Guidelines.

Age of Conan Going Free-To-PlayPosted by: GameBorder Staff on 2011-05-25 17:01:18 Funcom is excited to announce that the award-winning and critically acclaimed massively multiplayer online game Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will receive a digital re-launch this summer under the new name Age of Conan: Unrated. As well as reaffirming its position as the sexiest and most savage MMO in the world, Age of Conan: Unrated will also feature a hybrid business model allowing anyone to freely roam the vast lands of Hyboria either as free players or premium subscribers with access to extra content. "With over 1.4 million copies sold, glowing reviews for both the core game as well as the expansion, and a healthy player base ever since launch in 2008, there is no doubt that Age of Conan has been a true success story for Funcom," says SVP of Sales & Marketing Morten Larssen. "Now we turn to another chapter in this story as we thrust Age of Conan: Unrated into the world of free-to-play games, a gaming space that is becoming rapidly more popular and profitable across the board." The new business model will give players the opportunity to choose whether they want to play for free or become premium subscribers, and Funcom is also introducing an in-game store to the game where both free players and premium subscribers can purchase exclusive content such as weaponry and mounts. For a full overview of what differs from the free and premium offerings, please view the Frequently Asked Questions now available on Age of Conan community website. Age of Conan has always been a Mature gaming experience, but going Unrated gives the development team freedom to stay even more true to the original works of Conan author Robert E. Howard, and use even more of the barbaric, brutal and sexy setting that is Howard's Hyboria. Funcom is already in the process of developing new locations, monsters, equipment and storylines for Age of Conan: Unrated. This includes the movie tie-in adventure pack announced yesterday, that will introduce content and characters from the upcoming Conan the Barbarian movie. "Everyone on the team is excited about opening up our world to an even larger audience," says Creative Director and Executive Producer Craig Morrison. "The online world of Hyboria is constantly expanding as we continue to introduce new gameplay features and new content, and we truly believe that Age of Conan: Unrated will offer something truly new and unique to both new players and to those have already experienced the brutal online world of Conan the Barbarian." Launching in May 2008 Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures quickly became a smash hit in retail, shipping over 1.4 million copies around the world. In the weeks after launch Age of Conan simultaneously topped the charts in 17 countries, and the game received critical acclaim from gaming press across the globe. Age of Conan is now available in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Polish localized versions, and has also launched in Korea.

Director Kevin Williams' documentary, Fear of a Black Republican, which will be screened Thursday at the Pearl Theatre, investigates why there are so few African Americans in the Republican Party.
Williams, the youngest of seven children, was born in Trenton and grew up listening to his enlisted brothers talk about their adventures in the military. Learning about the world from older siblings piqued Williams' curiosity about local and global politics. Fear of a Black Republican, which took more than six years to make, has been a low-budget labor of love for Williams, who is white.
"The idea of making a film based on how politics and race affect my life and millions of other people has been the most amazing experience professionally," Williams said in an interview last week.

Availability/Prices subject to change. Please call 866-fine-art (866-346-3278) for additional information." ADOLF SEHRING His work are in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Grand Palais in Paris, U.S. Embassy to Sweden, Chrysler Museum, Mellons, Temple University, Museum of St. Mary's, Bayly Museum of Virginia, Hamilton Insurance Co., U.S. State Department and the Vatican, among many other private and public collections. Like the 17th century Dutch masters, Adolf Sehring transforms everyday scenes into poetry. His panoramic landscapes filled with nuances of detail and atmosphere, celebrate the countryside and extol the serenity of rural life. In his commonplace objects--hand-woven baskets, rail fences, rustic barns, and ordinary people become extraordinary. He is an eloquent spokesman for realism and one of America's most collected painters. While Sehring's art is in the tradition of Barbizon landscape artists, capturing a moment in time and recreating the exact hour of today in circumstances of light, his paintings are more than reproductions of atmosphere. They are penetrating observations of nature and human character tingled with an uplifting quality. His work shimmers with a sense of discovery, a renewal of life, revealed with the brightness of his palate, and in the faces, which people his canvasses. Part of the business of art, as Santayana says of music, is to remind us, and Sehring's paintings are masterful reminders of our rural past. There is nostalgia in the unspoiled slices of America that our grandparents knew in the still ponds, thick woods and flowered creek sides, in cloud skimming skies and gentle rolling hills. |

This is a lovely study in light and texture. The leaf surfaces and weave of the basket are particularly well done. The off-center composition works very well here with the strong diagonals of the shadow at left and the stems in the foreground. 9/19/2012 | |
This painting makes me kinda sad. But it has realism about it. The light shades make it even more interesting and intriguing. Nice work 9/1/2012 |

Merry Widow Corselette/Black
Code: l3009
Price: $120.00
Quantity in Basket: none
Merry Widow Corselette
This version of the Merry Widow is quintessential mid-50s shape-wear. Unlike a standard corselette, which focuses on the hips and derriere, a Merry Widow works its magic on the upper torso; tightening, smoothing and uplifting. It's essentially a low-backed strapless bra combined with a strict waist cincher; and the result is the perfect foundation for wearing under the tight-bodiced, full-skirted gowns that were extremely fashionable in the 1950s and early 60s, as well as modern variations on this theme.

1. Olympic Security—the company that hired the three security guards who stood by as a 15-year-old girl was brutally beaten in the downtown transit tunnel in January—also provides the security for City Hall, where the mayor, city attorney, and city council members have their offices.
This week, King County Metro announced it would be directing Olympic guards to intervene in violent incidents when possible, a change from the company's current standard of "observe and report." It's unclear whether city officials will be asking Olympic to change its security practices at City Hall as well.
2. We've been pretty hard on the Democrats in Olympia lately for bailing on a couple of bills—one in the House and one in the Senate—that tried to put restrictions on a bank's ability to foreclose on homeowners. The stronger House bill, which would have put a temporary moratorium on banks' ability to foreclose on unemployed people, was turned into a study.
House Judiciary Chair Jamie Pedersen (D-43), who ushered the bill through his committee (and gutted it), got back to us yesterday to explain his side of the story. He said the technical problems with the bill—how does a bank know who's unemployed? how long should the moratorium last?—became obvious during the public hearing, and so he sent the parties (big banks, credit unions and community banks, and consumer advocacy lefties) back to the drawing board to come up with a compromise.
But the compromise, Pedersen says, was problematic: The moratorium would apply to the big commercial banks (because they could withstand the losses), but it not to the credit unions and community banks (because they would be devastated). "What are we saying—that you lose if you got your loan from a credit union, but you're rewarded for going to a big bank?" Pedersen asked rhetorically.
By moving the bill forward (even in its neutered form), Pedersen says he's kept it alive so that if it passes and goes to the Senate, they might be able to revive the moratorium there. However, given that the Senate killed a weaker foreclosure reform bill—one that would have put a speed bump in the foreclosure process by setting up mediation first—it doesn't seem likely.
3. City Council member Sally Clark wrote a supportive letter last week to the folks behind WorkingSeattle, a web site created by city employees whose jobs are threatened by Mayor Mike McGinn's announcement that he would eliminate 200 strategic advisor and "senior-level management" positions—positions he characterized, during his campaign and his announcement, as "political appointees" by his predecessor Greg Nickels.
In the letter, Clark said she was "in agreement" with the group's primary complaint, that McGinn had "target[ed] strategic advisors without much regard for what they do for the City, or how well they do it" and used senior city employees as "the punch line of [his] campaign speech."McGinn has since put the planned layoffs "on pause" until the midyear budget reconciliation process.
McGinn's announcement, Clark continued, had "demoralized hundreds of people who come to work for the public every day wanting to do a good job. The past month of stress has been both unfortunate and unnecessary."
4. The text message of the week also came from Clark. In response to a phone call seeking information about finance director Dwight Dively's then-rumored departure from the city Wednesday night, Clark wrote, "Sorry I missed your call. I'm around this morning. Don't have Ph.D, if that's the question"—a snarky reference to former McGinn senior advisor Chris Bushnell, who resigned last week after admitting he had falsely claimed to have a doctorate in economics.
5. It was a Republican, state Sen. Curtis King (R-14), who offered the two amendments to the education reform bill yesterday afternoon in Olympia that Democratic President Barack Obama and his poster boy for reform, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, would have liked best.
King's amendments directed the state school superintendent's office—rather than each school district—to establish a uniform evaluation system for teachers, including the use of "comparable and objective" data on student achievement.
The feds are currently awarding "Race to the Top" grants to states who get in line with Duncan's reform agenda, which demands the type of consistent and measurable teacher evaluation standards that King's amendments outlined.
The bill, which already included other "Race to the Top" prerequisites—like allowing alternative routes to teacher certification and direct means of dealing with failing schools—passed 41-5. But King's amendments failed.
"It will definitely jeopardize our chance," Shannon Campion, State Director of Stand for Children, a Portland-based national education reform group, said after the vote, referring to the $250 million in "Race to the Top" money that could come Washington state's way.
Duncan aid Brad Jupp echoed this theme when he visited Olympia earlier in the session.
6. Josh will be on KING-5's "Up Front" this Sunday (on KING and its affiliates, KONG and NW Cable News) to talk about the latest news from Olympia.

Greater Boston Housing Report Cards
Our latest report marks the 10th anniversary of the annual Greater Boston Housing Report Card. Each year since 2002, we have probed Greater Boston's housing landscape, keeping tabs on housing construction, home prices and rents. We have analyzed the relationship between the region's economy, demography and housing, and we have kept track of federal, state and local government policies that affect the region's housing market. Year by year, we have reported on this vital sector of the region's economy, based on the belief that providing decent housing for all at prices they can afford is not only a moral responsibility, but an economic necessity if the region is to retain its talent pool.
Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2012
This 2012 Greater Boston Housing Report Card is dedicated to understanding a new period in the region's housing market and what it will take to meet the goal of affordable housing for all who need it. There are now even stronger signs than we saw in 2010 that the housing market is recovering. We may be at a new point in the housing cycle where housing demand—both in the homeowner market and in the rental market—will begin once again to outstrip supply, particularly given the lack of production since 2005, falling vacancy rates, and a stronger economy that is attracting new workers to the region.
But the changes we discern in demographics and consumer behavior require a new housing paradigm because the challenge we face is more than just the sheer amount of housing production. Fundamental structural changes in the age composition of the region's population; in the income, wealth, and debt distribution of the region's households; and in generational differences in consumer behavior will almost certainly alter the types of housing we will need over the next decade, as well as the places within the region where that housing will need to be located. If developers, communities, and state and local government respond proactively to these underlying changes, we will be in a better position to fulfill the moral responsibility of providing affordable housing to all who need it. Moreover, we will better meet the economic necessity of lowering the housing cost hurdles that make it difficult for young households to remain in Greater Boston, while simultaneously lowering the cost barrier to those who would like the opportunity to move here.
Before considering what this new paradigm would entail, it is helpful to examine what has happened in the region's housing market over the past year. We see signs of recovery in the housing market along all of the standard measures we have tracked—sales, prices, rents, permits and foreclosures. Whether this is leading to a return to the normal patterns that have prevailed in past decades or, alternatively, whether it signals a major transformation of the Greater Boston housing market is the big question this time around.
Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2011
The 2011 Greater Boston Housing Report Card: Housing's Role in the Ongoing Economic Crisis focused on the larger economic context and how housing continues to play a major role nationally.
Our area's housing market has not sustained anything close to the damage experienced in other states and regions throughout the country. In addition, Massachusetts has a stronger economy in general than many other states. However, one of the major conclusions of this year's report card is that Massachusetts and Greater Boston are not immune to the forces that are negatively affecting the nation's economy as a whole. In fact, the leading economists we rely on for economic forecasts are concerned that we are in for some rough times ahead.
The analysis in the report also concludes that until we solve the housing crisis, the larger economic crisis impacting our state, region and country will not begin to abate That is, in fact, the primary conclusion of this year's report card—and clearly it is the indicator we should follow as we move forward.

Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2010
The 2010 Greater Boston Housing Report Card: Taking Stock in an Uncertain Time continues our prior focus on the foreclosure crisis. In addition, we examined the dynamics that have kept rental prices near all-time highs in spite of the economic recession. The foreclosure crisis, hesitation among potential home-buyers, and an influx of additional students to the area, particularly graduate students, have all increased demand for rental housing. As a result vacancy rates have remained below 6%, thus keeping rental prices high.

Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2009
The Greater Boston Housing Report Card 2009: Positioning Boston in a Post-Crisis World, moved beyond the content of our previous publications and focused additional attention on the foreclosure crisis and its impact on housing affordability in the Commonwealth.
Our research shows that while home prices have fallen dramatically in Greater Boston, competitive metropolitan areas have faced even steeper declines in home values. As a result, Boston has become less affordable, relative to other cities, for both homeowners and renters. Therefore, although housing prices have declined, the housing affordability issues facing Greater Boston have been exacerbated over the last year.
There is, however, good news for the region as well. It appears as though the national and regional economic recession has neared an end and there are some indications that home prices in Greater Boston have bottomed out.

Background on Our Work in Housing
Since its founding in 1999, the Dukakis Center has been deeply involved in research, evaluation, and policy projects related to affordable housing as well as the impact of housing on economic development. Its first major report, "A New Paradigm for Housing in Greater Boston", set the stage for this work, laying out in detail both the moral responsibility and the economic necessity of expanding the supply of affordable housing in the region.
This seminal research reviewed the trend in housing prices and rents, estimated the gap between housing supply and demand, focused attention on the role of zoning and local building codes in restricting development, and suggested a range of policies to augment supply to make housing more affordable to meet a goal of increasing housing production by 38,000 additional units by 2007.
With funding from The Boston Foundation and the Citizens Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA), the Center has produced a lengthy, fact-filled Greater Boston Housing Report Card covering current market conditions, housing production levels in the region, rents, housing prices, and public spending on housing. This report and the annual conference used to release it has kept the housing issue in the public spotlight leading to tangible action to meet the housing goals first set out in the New Paradigm report.
The Center's research in housing led in 2005 to the creation of the Commonwealth Housing Task Force (CHTF), a broad coalition of business and civic leaders, housing advocates, and developers. With the support of this coalition, the Dukakis Center was charged with producing model legislation that could meet the housing needs of the Commonwealth. Based on the housing policy developed at the Center, Massachusetts enacted two new laws, Chapter 40R and Chapter 40S, making it possible for municipalities in the state to garner state funds in return for re-zoning land for transit-oriented, affordable "smart growth" housing construction. The Dukakis Center continues to work with the Commonwealth Housing Task Force, the state's Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development, and the state legislature to provide timely reports on housing progress in the state.
At the local level, the Center created the World Class Housing Collaborative, bringing together faculty and staff from Northeastern with community leaders to consider ways of improving housing conditions in local neighborhoods. It conducted a Developers' Clinic to provide training for individuals who wish to consider producing small housing projects in their communities.
Other housing research undertaken by the Dukakis Center includes a series of analyses of affordable housing needs in local communities (Weston, Malden, Everett, and Medford), an extensive evaluation of the Maverick Gardens HOPE VI project in East Boston, an evaluation of the Home Funders project established by philanthropic organizations in Greater Boston, and a study of university-community partnerships devoted to housing production.

Grant Writing Tips from a BTF Grant Recipient
Many of the organizations that initially apply to BTF indicate that they are not able to proceed with a grant application. Why? Organizations point to lack of funds to hire a grant writer or lack of staff/volunteers with time or experience to complete the application.
Ruth Tarbox is a grant writer who submitted an application for a BTF grant for the Greater Lawrence Community Action Council, Inc. located in Lawrence, MA. A BTF grant was awarded to fund the purchase of replacement equipment and uniforms for the local league–Roberto Clemente Little League–consisting of 18 teams. Tarbox's advice:
"Many communities have pro-bono organizations that provide specific, time or project bound assistance to nonprofits. Lawrence, MA has one such organization called Jericho Road whose mission is to address economic inequities by matching the needs of nonprofit organizations in Lawrence, MA to the talents and resources of surrounding suburban communities. One thing for potential applicants to be mindful of is the fact that it's not just the grant writing process, it's the bookkeeping and follow-up reporting requirements that must also be fulfilled. If an organization does not have the capacity to write a grant there should be questions surrounding its capacity to fulfill the programmatic requirements."
If you have any advice regarding how an organization might find pro-bono assistance, basic steps or helpful hints to complete an application, we want to know! Email us at email@example.com.

This week marked yet another anniversary of the Emergency. Pundits and politicians all weighed in with their Emergency stories. But if you comb through the archives of cinema you'll come up with very little. Think of the Emergency and there are hardly any films that come to mind. The 1970s were a decade of great change for Hindi cinema. It finally managed to break free from the shackles of the idealism of the 1950s and the romantic aimlessness of the 1960s. Yet the reality that inspired characters like Salim-Javed's 'angry young man' or the birth of the Parallel cinema movement failed to strike a spark when it came to the events that took place between 26 June 1975 and 21 March 1977.
Barring Gulzar's Aandhi (1975) and Sudhir Mishra's Hazaaron Khwaishein Aise (2005) there are no films that can be called cinema of Emergency. Aandhi was not about the Emergency. But because it was allegedly inspired by the life of Indira Gandhi (though others contend it was more Tarakeswari Sinha) Aandhi, made right at the beginning of the dark period, never enjoyed a wide release. The film was banned during the 21-month period of the Emergency and it was only after the Janata Government came to power that it finally saw an all-India release. There was also the political satire, Kissa Kursi Ka. In 1977 all its negatives o were destroyed for it poked fun at the functioning of the government and the director, Amrit Nahata, being a Janata Party MP, only made the whole thing more incendiary.
It's not like the Emergency didn't touch the personal lives of the people who made films. The government forced artists to follow diktats similar to the ones it imposed on millions of Indians. Like thousands outside the film industry, a handful of people within it stood up to this coercion. Kishore Kumar's refusal to be a stooge who performed on Delhi's command saw him getting barred from All India Radio and Doordarshan. Similarly films featuring Shatrughan Sinha, one of that era's busiest stars, were banned, as he openly supported Jai Prakash Narayan.
In his autobiography, Dev Anand recalled how he was tricked into attending a rally for the Youth Congress and then requested to praise Sanjay Gandhi's dynamism. He mentions that his refusal led to his films being banned and his name being blacklisted as far as official media went. When he sought time with the then I&B minister to question this dictatorial act he was told that it's "a good thing to speak for the government in power." Dev Anand later floated a political party, the National Party, to oppose the government's high-handedness.
It's surprising that in spite of such incidents the Emergency never disturbed or inspired our filmmakers enough to make films that questioned it. Even the parallel cinema that was born during these years fell woefully short of depicting the plight of ordinary men and women during the Emergency. In spite of its constraints popular cinema tried putting in a joke here about the Emergency. For example in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Naram Garam (1981) Om Prakash, the pandit, is told to hurry on account of some emergency and he haplessly comments, "Phir se?"
It took almost three decades for Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi, the only film that truly explores the harsh times, to become reality. Based on the filmmaker's personal experiences during those times, the film which tells the tale of three individuals, captures the essence of the period without ever being preachy. One of Hindi cinema's biggest problems is that it often confuses resolution with solution. Pick any mainstream Hindi film inspired by reality and you will inevitably see the hero taking on the entire system and solving all the problems. With the Emergency that's hard to do. There is no pat solution a film can provide for the viewer to take home.
In any other culture, events like the 1971 Bangladesh War, the Emergency, or the atrocities of 1984 Sikh Riots or 1986-87's Operation Brasstacks that saw the largest mobilization of the Indian Army, would have all been inspiration for cinema. Here it's only the war of Independence and the surrounding events that our filmmakers gravitate towards. The Independence war is safe. It clearly demarcates between the good and the bad when it comes to people but more importantly it is risk-free of antagonizing the Nehru-Gandhi family.
Voluntary restraints along with blind reverence for politicians stops filmmakers from questioning anything beyond the sugarcoated obvious. So there can be five films on Bhagat Singh in a single year and not one bothers to scratch beneath the surface when it comes to Bhagat Singh's views on Gandhi. Ketan Mehta's Sardar, the biography of Sardar Patel, depicts a near perfect portrayal of the iron man but steers clear of his later relationship with Nehru; Shyam Benegal's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero celebrates the hero in an almost unreal manner. If filmmakers avoid ruffling the Nehru-Gandhi feathers even on such 'safe' subjects, don't expect anything on Emergency, their most abominable legacy.
Real life might have never stimulated Hindi cinema beyond a point but that's not as upsetting as the post-Emergency mindset that refuses to leave our filmmakers. Look at the nonsense that is pawned off in the name of realism by the likes of Madhur Bhandarkar or even a Prakash Jha, who once upon a time referred to a different dictionary. For all the talk about freedom of expression, it's been 35 years since the Emergency ended and you can hardly find any filmmakers who have it in them to question the government's action.

Sign up for Green Energy online.
Green energy is energy generated from non-polluting, environmentally beneficial and renewable sources. Examples are solar power, wind power, small scale hydro-electricity, and energy generated from agricultural sources or landfill gas.
On average, every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of renewable power avoids the emission of more than one pound of carbon dioxide, a global warming pollutant. Green power technologies generally require much less water to operate than nuclear and coal power plants, and as more consumers buy green power, the cost is likely to improve.
You can help support the move toward clean renewable energy by buying green power blocks either from your local utility provider or through a national renewable energy provider - see Green-e for a list.
If you are a Georgia Power customer, you can enroll in Georgia Power's Green Energy program. Check out our blog about the program for more information. We can provide you with forms to pass out to your congregation's next Creation care event, or you can sign up online. Either way, be sure to mark GIPL as your referral source.

These days I am trying to understand a bit about functioning of our power house which is our brain, what I initially figured out that brain basically has three major chambers Conscious, Subconscious and Unconscious, the fascinating fact is that all the decisions we are taking today are apparently being take by our Subconscious, as Conscious mind is more of messenger which passes on all the data to Subconscious and builds the Subconscious database over the time. Ever experience a moment 'how I manage to apply the break while my thoughts were some where else '? Did I really locked the door? At times we act like a programmed device not knowing what we are doing just doing it , that's the power of Subconscious mind it can take total control of things.
There are times when we go clueless and don't know what to do or take a lot time to make decision, this happens when subconscious has no dataset matching current situation, Conscious mind sends a signal to Subconscious how do we go about this situation, Subconscious mind says I am not sure about this thing, why don't you go ahead and do something about it, Conscious mind says let me try but than Conscious mind is utterly confused at this moment of time and says I don't know what do, Subconscious now says ok I will tell something which I know of one such similar scenario, It will be best for all of us and the security mechanism of kicks in, being secure is first thing which most of us learned and it's engraved in our Subconscious. So Subconscious will drive you to take decision which it feels is safest and easiest may not be always right but it does what it thinks is best.
Moving onto the Unconscious mind it's the part of brain where some thoughts,memories and knowledge is stored but it's not available to you in your normal state of mind, something like a bad data sector on your hard drive, this apparently builds our instincts or drive, sometime we are driven to do something without fully understanding why we want to do it , our decision at times can be affected by the Unconscious mind as well without we having any clue what made us to take that decision.
I would love to elaborate my learnings more in future as and when I get time, I am trying to deep dive in the Unconscious and Subconscious mind as that can help understand some mysteries of the powerhouse we all carry on our heads 'THE BRAIN'.

Periodic structure in nuclear matter
The properties of nuclear matter are studied in the framework of quantum hadrodynamics. Assuming an ω-meson field, periodic in space, a self-consistent set of equations is derived in the mean-field approximation for the description of nucleons interacting via σ-meson and ω-meson fields. Solutions of these self-consistent equations have been found: The baryon density is constant in space, however, the baryon current density is periodic. This high density phase of nuclear matter can be produced by anisotropic external pressure, occurring, e.g., in relativistic heavy ion reactions. The self-consistent fields developing beyond the instability limit have a special screw symmetry. In the presence of such an ω field, the energy spectrum of the relativistic nucleons exhibits allowed and forbidden bands, similar to the energy spectrum of the electrons in solids.

I just built a website and don't want to pay much for SEO. How do I increase my website ranking by myself?
I just built a website and don't want to pay much for SEO. How do I increase my website ranking by myself?
Hello! There are several things you can do your self for SEO. A good place to get started is with our article SEO For Beginners. If you are a local business a great article on Local SEO is How To Use Local SEO To Attract More Customers In Your Area which gives you some tricks to help you get found in your local search engines.
I hope these articles help. If you have any more questions after reading these, please ask and we will do our best to quickly get you an answer. Thank you for your post!
Thanks for the great info Lindsey.
First of all, you need great content. You could have the best backlinks in the world on the highest ranking websites but unless you have content, you will not rank for keywords and your readers will not return to your website- aka a high bounce rate.
After you have great content, you need backlinks. You need a good mixture of nofollow and dofollow. If you had only dofollow, how would that look in Google's eyes? Very unnatural. Comment of blogs, post in forums, submit article to article directories, use social bookmarks, write press releases. These are proven strategies.
Hi jwmann2 and thank you for your post! Great content is definitely a must in getting your sites ranked within the search engine result pages(SERPS) such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo!. Well written, properly optimized content that is relevant to your topic, website, and readers is what will keep both your readers and the search engines coming back for more and in the end helping to increase your rankings within the SERPS. Optimizing your content with keywords that appear natural and are not overused is key. Well written and optimized content is especially important now with the recent Google algorithm updates. Websites laden with nonsensical keywords and irrelevant content just won't cut it anymore.
Once you have your great content written, you definitely want people to see it! Building back links help with increasing rankings and traffic to your site so that you can get this content that you spent your time and energy on out for people to read.
Back links are the inbound links that are the incoming links to your website. For example, if a reader likes your content, they may link to it or share your content to others creating a link back to your site. Back links are important because this is how the popularity and importance of your website is noticed by the search engines. Good, quality back links help the SERPS know that your website is relevant and that you are taking the time to create that quality content that Google so much desires.
There are various ways to obtain back links which jwmann2 did a great job listing the various outlets to obtain these type of links. Some of my favorites are Press Release submissions and article marketing. Thanks again for a great post!
I agree that blog commenting is a great way to build links. However, in my experience many blogs are nofollow links. Thus, the value comes from increasing brand awareness and possibly getting traffic to the site.
Page Rank is all about the links. If you get links from high PR sites your PR will increase, but even a lot of low PR links will increase your PR. Also the links can't be nofollowed as is usually the case for blog comments.
The best way is SEO. It's very effective. :)
good information
You can do your own search engine optimization and still get great results. First you need to hone up your SEO skills by looking up some tutorials such as the one linked above. Aside from this you can do your research on keywords and related words to use on latent semantic indexing, or you can simply look for sites that will generate the relevant keywords for you. You don't have to pay anyone to do SEO because in essence, prince are pretty simple.
You must log in to post.

Objective Venous thromboembolism is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality and is largely preventable. Despite this fact, appropriate prophylaxis is vastly underutilized. To improve compliance with best practice prophylaxis for VTE in hospitalized trauma patients, we implemented a mandatory computerized provider order entry–based clinical decision support tool. The system required completion of checklists of VTE risk factors and contraindications to pharmacologic prophylaxis. With this tool, we were able to determine a patient's risk stratification level and recommend appropriate prophylaxis. To evaluate the effect of our mandatory computerized provider order entry–based clinical decision support tool on compliance with prophylaxis guidelines for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and VTE outcomes among admitted adult trauma patients.
Design Retrospective cohort study (from January 2007 through December 2010).
Setting University-based, state-designated level 1 adult trauma center.
Patients A total of 1599 hospitalized adult trauma patients with a hospital length of stay greater than 1 day.
Main Outcome Measures The primary outcome measure was the proportion of patients who were ordered risk-appropriate guideline-suggested VTE prophylaxis. The secondary outcome measure was the proportion of patients with any preventable VTE (defined as VTE in a patient not ordered guideline-appropriate VTE prophylaxis), pulmonary embolism, and/or deep vein thrombosis.
Results Compliance with guideline-appropriate prophylaxis increased from 66.2% to 84.4% (P < .001). The rate of preventable harm from VTE decreased from 1.0% to 0.17% (P = .04).
Conclusions Implementation of a mandatory computerized provider order entry–based clinical decision support tool significantly improved compliance with VTE prophylaxis guidelines in hospitalized adult trauma patients. This improved compliance was associated with a significant decrease in the rate of preventable harm, which was defined as VTE events in patients not ordered appropriate prophylaxis.

Figure 1. Trends in venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis and events in hospitalized adult trauma patients. The quarterly compliance rates for prophylaxis orders during the baseline period (2007) and the postimplementation period (2008-2010), in which the mandatory computerized provider order entry–based clinical decision support module was implemented, are compared. Also shown is the downward trend in the annual proportion of patients with VTE events during the same time period. Q indicates quarter.
Figure 2. Proportion of hospitalized adult trauma patients who received venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis. The proportion of hospitalized adult trauma patients who received pharmacologic prophylaxis (enoxaparin) are compared with the proportion of hospitalized adult trauma patients who received sequential compression devices (SCDs). The baseline period was 2007, and the postimplementation period was 2008, 2009, and 2010 (when the mandatory computerized provider order entry–based clinical decision support module was implemented).
Figure 3. Compliance rates among hospitalized adult trauma patients, stratified by those with or without documented contraindications to pharmaceutical prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism. The baseline period was 2007, and the postimplementation period was 2008, 2009, and 2010, in which the mandatory computerized clinical decision support tool was used to increase compliance with prophylaxis ordering.

Student Registration Status
The Registration Status will show key items that will affect registration:
- Time-Ticket:
Undergraduate students may register once their time-ticket is active, as long as they have also secured the four-digit Registration Pin number from their advisor.
Graduate students will be able to register as soon as their time-ticket becomes active; there is no registration pin number for graduate students.
The time ticket is based on:
- earned credit hours toward graduation within class or level
- matriculation level . . . undergraduate / graduate
- non-degree students will NOT have WEB privileges
- Hold information:
any outstanding obligations to SUNY Cortland will prevent registration. You will need to contact the agency or office that has placed the hold on your record for clearance information. - Academic & Curriculum information:
degree, major, academic standing, student status, and class year are identified for students to verify, and/or correct. Contact your department, or the Registrar's Office for assistance in correcting any academic profile information.
Registration Pin Number
For Undergraduates, the advisor will play a key role in the advisement of their student advisees, and in the distribution of the registration pin.
At the conclusion of the advisement meeting, undergraduate students will receive their registration pin number to gain access to the WEB. Once their time-ticket is active the registration process can begin. Advisors will receive the registration pin numbers:
- Electronically on myRedDragon under the Advisee Contact List. Both time-ticket and registration pin will be identified.
- Hard copy will be distributed in the departments. STUDENT PIN INFORMATION CAN NOT BE PUBLICALLY DISPLAYED IN ANY WAY. THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE BUCKLEY AMENDMENT AND FERPA POLICY.
- Graduate Students: There are no Registration Pin numbers for Graduate Students. Registration may begin once the time-ticket is active.
Conflict Resolution
Academic Department Offices are the primary contact for any student encountering obstacles while registering. The departments will also have the responsibility to monitor course availability. With Department Chair authorization, department personnel may authorize or enable the registration of students who:
- want to inquire or challenge taking a course without the necessary prerequisite(s)
- have a major/non-major restriction - 600 & 700 sections that are inclusive or exclusive
- have other course-related restrictions - 500 sections that need special permission
- seek entry into closed courses, or cannot register due to lack of course availability
