Yom Huledet Sameah
Alisha Deluty Every year for as long as I can remember, I have attended the Israel Day Parade on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Whether it was a rainy or a sunny day, I excitedly stood across from Central Park and waved to friends, family and strangers from schools, synagogues, camps and other organizations as they marched down the street. The parade always consisted of both religious and secular groups. In addition, there were non-Jewish marching bands, and I remember one year when a Native American group participated. This variety of people who attend and are part of the parade has shown me how Zionism affects people here in America. Whether I'm tasting food, listening to music, talking about politics or just savoring Israeli culture, I constantly feel connected to Israel despite living thousands of miles away. Every time I see barrels of olives and other pickled vegetables in Amalia's Grocery, an Israeli store near my house in Queens, or buy freshly baked pita at the Queens Pita Bakery, I am suddenly reminded of the shuk (open-air market) Mahaneh Yehudah in Jerusalem. This past fall, as I was listening to the singer and musician Idan Reichel perform at JTS, I imagined myself at a concert in Tel Aviv. As we approach Yom Ha'atzmaut in a few days and celebrate Israel's 60th birthday, I cannot help but marvel at this country that is home to so many different types of Jews as well as other peoples. My Zionist feelings here in America will only be enhanced as I prepare to spend next semester at Ben Gurion University in the Negev. I know that whether I am in America, Israel or somewhere else in the world, I will always feel a deep connection to the land of Israel. [Posted 5/5/08] |

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Barrel sample. There is wood here, the fruit is fresh, with a lively acidity on top of the core of tannin. A bright, fresh, blackcurrant wine"
Cellar/Tasting Notes Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Slightly hollow center palate.
Cellar/Tasting Notes This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot is an up-front, seductively styled Pauillac (one of the more forward and evolved wines from this appellation in 2010). Deep purple, with exceptionally subtle texture and oodles of cassis fruit as well as hints of mocha and white chocolate, it is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A sexy blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the robust 2007 Monbousquet displays lots of toasty oak intermixed with sweet kirsch, blacker fruits, and spice box. Plush, medium to full-bodied, and supple textured, it is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Very polished tannins that caress the palate. Full body. It's fruity, pretty and refined. The mineral and berry character comes through in a subtle way. Second wine of Pichon Lalande
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An outstanding effort, Branaire's 2007 exhibits floral-infused black raspberry, boysenberry, and mulberry notes as well as a decidedly blue fruit character. Attractive, elegant, and medium to full-bodied with beautiful fruit, density, and texture, it should drink well for 10-12 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This outstanding l'Arrosee is consistent with the Burgundian style that this terroir routinely produces. Never massive, at its best it offers intense flavors of kirsch, raspberry, crushed rock, and spice box. The full-bodied flavors are ethereal in their delicacy. Full, but stylish, precise,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A flamboyant St.-Emilion, this largely-Merlot blend displays notes of Christmas fruitcake, cedar wood, tobacco leaf, and loads of black currant and blackberry fruit. A showy, extravagantly concentrated, hedonistic style of St.-Emilion, with some wood smoke and roasted herbs adding nuance to the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Soft and generous fruit, its tannins enveloped by a warm and ripe juicy fruit layer. The wine is already delicious, showing sweet tannins and a subtle touch of wood."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Although it begins with austerity, its acidity and tannins dominant, the palate opens beyond its youthfulness after a few moments. It becomes dark and powerful, certainly still dryly tannic, but the fruit is generous, and the final taste is of beautiful, ripe fruits.

Currently, about 28 percent of inmates released from West Virginia prisons commit subsequent crimes.
Lane thinks prisoners should have to serve their entire sentences but still be supervised after release. He cautioned against releasing prisoners just because keeping them incarcerated is costing the state money.
House Minority Leader Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, also said he would not support a policy of releasing offenders early just so they can be supervised.
He is concerned by the report's suggestion that some drug offenders be sentenced to rehabilitation and not jail time. He said some criminals might end up using their drug problems as an excuse for their crimes.
Lane worries that some of the report's recommendations might allow violent offenders to be put on supervised release.
"We're pretty confident that's not where the report was meant to go," he said.
Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, meanwhile, said the legislature could protect the public while still helping nonviolent offenders.
"Crimes of violence, lock 'em up and throw away the key," he said. "Our number-one goal in what we're doing is public safety."
But Kessler said in many cases the state corrections system is simply "warehousing" individuals whose only crime is substance abuse.
"I'm not sure that's the best use of the system," he said. "You can't treat them all the same."
He said the state should focus on reducing the number of offenders who return to prison as well as creating early intervention programs to prevent people from becoming addicts in the first place.
Kessler said the state Senate also would focus on child poverty since most of the state's problems, including prison overcrowding, are directly linked to that issue.
All the lawmakers agreed on point: Any moves the state makes to fix its prison problems will cost money.
"That's why it's called justice reinvestment," Palumbo said.

Important News: Calvert Balanced Portfolio (CSIFX) and Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio
Calvert Investments is committed to providing investors with investment choice, reasonable expenses and to setting the stage for the best possible performance outcomes. In that light, on September 11, 2013, Calvert Investment Management (CIM), the investment advisor to the Calvert Balanced Portfolio (CSIFX) and Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio, assumed responsibility for the day-to-day management of the equity assets previously managed by sub-advisor New Amsterdam Partners LLC (NAP).
Potential Benefits to Investors
As a result of this shift, Calvert believes that the Portfolios will have better style-positioning and an improved risk/return profile, which may result in more consistent performance results.
CIM will apply its active large-cap-core strategy to the management of each Portfolio. This strategy emphasizes quantitative, fundamental, and macroeconomic insights, and the integration of Calvert's signature environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
At the same time, as of December 1, 2013, the Portfolios' advisory fees will be reduced for all share classes of Calvert Balanced Portfolio (A, B, C, Y and I) and for the Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio as shown in the table below:
Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio and Calvert Balanced Portfolio (CSIFX)
New Annual Fund Operating Expenses effective December 1, 2013
Calvert Balanced Portfolio | Mgt. Fees | Dist./ 12 b-1 Fees | Other Expenses | Acquired Fund Fees/Expenses | Less Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement | Total Annual Operating Expenses |
Class A | 0.68% | 0.23% | 0.29% | 0.02% | N/A | 1.22% |
Class B | 0.68% | 1.00% | 0.53% | 0.02% | N/A | 2.23% |
Class C | 0.68% | 1.00% | 0.35% | 0.02% | N/A | 2.05% |
Class Y | 0.68% | N/A | 0.36% | 0.02% | (0.08%) | 1.06% (net expenses 0.98%) |
I Shares | 0.53% | N/A | 0.28% | 0.02% | (0.09%) | 0.83% (net expenses 0.74%) |
Calvert VP SRI Balanced Portfolio | 0.69% | N/A | 0.20% | N/A | N/A | 0.89% |
New Amsterdam Partners Remains Sub-advisor to Two Calvert Portfolios
NAP remains the sub-advisor to the Calvert Capital Accumulation Fund (CCAFX) and Calvert VP SRI Mid Cap Growth Portfolio. Calvert believes that NAP's growth bias remains appropriate for these strategies, which seek to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in mid-cap stocks that meet each strategy's investment criteria, including financial and sustainability factors.
Management Continuity
These management shifts will not impact the investment objectives, strategies, risk factors or benchmarks of either Portfolio. CIM, the Portfolios' investment advisor, remains responsible for the overall management of both Portfolios. Natalie Trunow, CIM's chief investment officer, equities, serves as portfolio manager for equity assets managed by CIM for each Portfolio. Eugene Profit, founder, CEO and CIO of Profit Investment Management remains as a sub-advisor to the Calvert Balanced Portfolio, managing a portion of its equity assets. Matt Duch and Vishal Khanduja of CIM remain as portfolio managers for the fixed-income assets of each Portfolio. Learn more about the management team of these Portfolios.
Investment Risk
Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. You could lose money on your investment in the Portfolio, or the Portfolio could underperform, for any of the following reasons: a) the market prices of stocks held by the Portfolio may fall, b) the individual stocks and bonds in the Portfolio may not perform as expected, and c) the portfolio management practices may not achieve the desired result. The fixed-income portion of the Portfolio is subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally decrease. The prices of long-term bonds are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the prices of short-term bonds.
High-yield, high risk bonds, which are rated below investment grade, can involve a substantial risk of loss because they have a greater risk of issuer default and are subject to greater price volatility than investment-grade bonds.

Today we join together in common cause to lay that fallacy to rest, and to extend a great movement based on shared responsibility from the corner office to the corner of your block and back again."

Transformation (function)
In mathematics, a transformation could be any function mapping a set X to another set or to itself.[1] However, often the set X has some additional algebraic or geometric structure and the term "transformation" refers to a function from X to itself that preserves this structure.
Examples include linear transformations and affine transformations, rotations, reflections and translations. These can be carried out in Euclidean space, particularly in dimensions 2 and 3. They are also operations that can be performed using linear algebra, and described explicitly using matrices.
A translation, or translation operator, is an affine transformation of Euclidean space which moves every point by a fixed distance in the same direction. It can also be interpreted as the addition of a constant vector to every point, or as shifting the origin of the coordinate system. In other words, if v is a fixed vector, then the translation Tv will work as Tv(p) = p + v.
Let us have a clear visualization of this. In day to day life we use computers in all fields. Let us consider this window. This window if maximized to full dimensions of the screen is the reference plane. Imagine one of the corners as the reference point or origin (0, 0).
Consider a point P(x, y) in the corresponding plane. Now the axes are shifted from the original axes to a distance (h, k) and this is the corresponding reference axes. Now the origin (previous axes) is (x, y) and the point P is (X, Y) and therefore the equations are:
X = x − h or x = X + h or h = x − X and Y = y − k or y = Y + k or k = y − Y.
Replacing these values or using these equations in the respective equation we obtain the transformed equation or new reference axes, old reference axes, point lying on the plane.
A reflection is a map that transforms an object into its mirror image with respect to a "mirror", which is a hyperplane of fixed points in the geometry. For example, a reflection of the small Latin letter p with respect to a vertical line would look like a "q". In order to reflect a planar figure one needs the "mirror" to be a line (axis of reflection or axis of symmetry), while for reflections in the three-dimensional space one would use a plane (the plane of reflection or symmetry) for a mirror. Reflection may be considered as the limiting case of inversion as the radius of the reference circle increases without bound.
Reflection is considered to be an opposite motion since it changes the orientation of the figures it reflects.
Glide reflection[edit]
A glide reflection is a type of isometry of the Euclidean plane: the combination of a reflection in a line and a translation along that line. Reversing the order of combining gives the same result. Depending on context, we may consider a simple reflection (without translation) as a special case where the translation vector is the zero vector.
A rotation is a transformation that is performed by "spinning" the object around a fixed point known as the center of rotation. You can rotate your object at any degree measure, but 90° and 180° are two of the most common. Also, rotations are done counterclockwise (Anticlockwise).
Uniform scaling is a linear transformation that enlarges or diminishes objects; the scale factor is the same in all directions; it is also called a homothety or dilation. The result of uniform scaling is similar (in the geometric sense) to the original.
More general is scaling with a separate scale factor for each axis direction; a special case is directional scaling (in one direction). Shapes not aligned with the axes may be subject to shear (see below) as a side effect: although the angles between lines parallel to the axes are preserved, other angles are not.
Shear is a transform that effectively rotates one axis so that the axes are no longer perpendicular. Under shear, a rectangle becomes a parallelogram, and a circle becomes an ellipse. Even if lines parallel to the axes stay the same length, others do not. As a mapping of the plane, it lies in the class of equi-areal mappings.
More generally[edit]
More generally, a transformation in mathematics means a mathematical function (synonyms: map and mapping). A transformation can be an invertible function from a set X to itself, or from X to another set Y. The choice of the term transformation may simply flag that a function's more geometric aspects are being considered (for example, with attention paid to invariants).

Recently, I characterized an L-thyroxine aptamer. Aptamers consist of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and unlike antibodies can be identified and synthesized using an entirely in vitro process. Currently, the use of aptamers in affinity chromatography has been limited to only a few published applications. To ensure that aptamers could be used to generate binding assays, I determined the equilibrium and rate constants of an anti-L-thyroxine aptamer under a variety of conditions and compared these to the results obtained for anti-thyroxine antibodies. From these results, it was found that aptamers could be used as substitutes for antibodies to generate binding assays for other analytes of clinical or environmental interest.

The faculty of the Ralph W. Ketner School of Business recognize that a quality Business School education must be combined with exposure to how business works beyond the classroom. The Mentor Program provides an opportunity for students to be paired with successful business leaders from the Catawba College Community in order to provide that essential link between the classroom and business reality. Students and mentors both can benefit from participation.

An 82-year-old woman presented with a 24-hour history of sharp, mid-abdominal pain radiating to the right lower quadrant. Physical examination revealed right lower quadrant tenderness with localized rebound and guarding. The patient was afebrile. Laboratory values demonstrated a normal white blood cell count and normal blood chemistry.
Plain abdominal radiographs showed a nonspecific bowel gas pattern without evidence of abnormal calcification or soft-tissue mass. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis was performed (figure 1), and a 2-cm thick-walled, fluid-filled mass was identified in the right mid-abdomen adherent to the wall of the distal ileum, associated with surrounding inflammatory changes. A radionuclide scan using 99-m Tc-pertechnetate was negative. The lesion subsequently was removed surgically (figure 2).
Inflamed Meckel's diverticulum
The gross pathologic specimen was a portion of ileum containing a purulent, inflamed diverticulum on the antimesenteric border with inflammation of the mesenteric fat. Microscopic examination demonstrated gastric metaplasia.
Meckel's diverticulum is the most frequent congenital anomaly involving the intestinal tract. The incidence at autopsy has been reported to be 0.3 to 3%.1 This is a true diverticulum because it contains all the layers of the bowel wall and, unlike pseudodiverticula, arises from the antimesenteric border. The diverticulum is formed by incomplete obliteration of the ileal end of the vitilline duct and usually is located within 100 cm of the ileocecal valve.1 Histologically, ectopic gastric mucosa is present in about 25% of all Meckel's diverticula, in over 50% of those that are symptomatic, and in 90% of those presenting with bleeding.2
Most Meckel's diverticula are clinically silent and become apparent only in patients with complications, which is reported to occur in 19% of cases.3 Intestinal obstruction is the most common complication; it may be caused by any of the following: strangulation of the bowel, intussusception, volvulus, incarceration of the diverticulum in a Littre's hernia, or tumors originating in the diverticulum.4 Another complication, bleeding, usually occurs in children, where it is the most common presenting sign. Diverticulitis occurs in 13 to 31% of the patients who have complications.5 This condition may mimic the symptoms of acute appendicitis. The inflammation usually results from the effect of peptic acids produced by ectopic gastric mucosa on the surrounding ileal mucosa.3 Other causes are similar to acute appendicitis, such as enteroliths obstructing the lumen.
It may be difficult to diagnose a Meckel's diverticulum unless it becomes inflamed, as in the case presented here. Radionuclide scanning with technetium pertechnetate detects ectopic gastric mucosa in Meckel's diverticula in approximately 80 to 90% of asymptomatic pediatric patients, but in less than 50% of adults.2 Small bowel series rarely provide the diagnosis, and computed tomography often is not helpful because it is difficult to differentiate a Meckel's diverticulum from a bowel loop in the abdomen on CT.6 However, due to the inflammation in this case, the Meckel's diverticulum was able to be distinguished from other small bowel loops, and was therefore able to be diagnosed on the CT scan.
In the appropriate clinical setting, an inflamed Meckel's diverticulum should be considered (along with the far more common acute appendicitis) in the differential diagnosis of acute right lower quadrant pain.

Former NU Coach Sadler Joins KU Basketball Staff
Reporter: kuathletics.com
June 13, 2012
Doc Sadler has been named the director of basketball operations for Kansas men's basketball, KU head coach Bill Self announced Wednesday.
Sadler replaces Barry Hinson who served in the position for two seasons, four total on the KU staff, before taking over as head coach at Southern Illinois following Kansas' run to the NCAA Tournament title game in April 2012.
"I am excited to announce that Doc Sadler has accepted the position of director of basketball operations in our program," Self said. "I've known Doc for 25 years and have certainly followed his career. Watching his career at UTEP and seeing and competing against him when he was at Nebraska sold me on his ability for him to come in here and make us better."
"Very few programs in the country have the experience that our staff will have with Joe (Dooley), Kurtis (Townsend), Norm (Roberts) and now adding Doc into the mix," Self said. "We lost two great coaches this past year due to staff turnover – Danny (Manning) getting the job at Tulsa and Barry (Hinson) getting the job at Southern Illinois. We replace them with Norm Roberts who is a terrific coach and recruiter and was a head coach at St. John's for six years and Doc Sadler who has done just about everything and has been a head Division I coach for eight years. I'm excited. My batteries are charged and I know he's ready to get to work July 1."

I didn't drink that much
Police were called to a restaurant because a patron was arguing the amount of his tab.
The general manager told officers that this was the third time in a week the man had been in and all the other times he did not agree with the number of drinks on his tab.
The first time he argued with the manager that the bill was incorrect, and the tab was subsequently discounted.
This particular time he came in for lunch, ordered two glasses of wine and then switched his order to another drink. He then refused to pay for the two glasses of wine.
His bill was discounted again. That same evening he came in for dinner and ran up a $77 tab. He argued again, and the bill was discounted to $44. But it should not have been discounted because the man was buying drinks for other patrons at the bar.
The officer was escorted to where the patron was sitting. The officer asked him what was going on and he repeatedly told the officer he was not paying for any of those drinks and that he didn't even know who all those people were sitting at the bar.
He was warned that if he did not pay his tab he would be going to jail. The patron became irate and started cussing the officer. At that point back up officers arrived and the patron had the nerve to tell one officer to turn around and he would not be speaking with him. The patron then told the initial responding officer that he would only speak to him.
He kept wondering why he was responsible for paying for drinks he did not consume, according to the police report.
The officer then told the man it was time to wrap it up and pay his tab. The patron said he would only pay $20 of it, but the officer reminded him that it was not negotiable.
He then retrieved all of the cash from his wallet, which was only $38. He then handed the officer his PayPal card and said there was only about $3 on it.
That card kept getting declined so the manager said he would forgive the remaining amount. The manager then had the patron placed on trespass notice. The patron refused to sign it, according to the report. He said if he signed it he would be admitting to wrongdoing and he did not believe he did anything wrong, although he was advised he was only signing to acknowledge receipt). Due to his intoxicated state, he was given a ride home.

Anonymous still accessing, downloading NATO data
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is still under attack, a person claiming to be a member of Anonymous told CBS News in an interview published today.
According to the alleged member, who uses the name "Commander X," the "hacktivist" group still has access to NATO servers and is currently "downloading databases." What's more, the person said that the group plans to release all the documents it has collected, even though a Twitter account related to the organization says such a release would be "irresponsible."

text: Flightglobal blogged about this and it has almost come to pass. According to the Russian RIA Novosti newswire service, at a Russian government initiated board meeting of Moscow based space company S. P. Korolev Energia Rocket and Space Corporation on 31 July the suspended president Nikolai Sevastianov's ousting could be confirmed and temporary president, Alexander Strekalov, head of an experimental machine building plant will take his place. However the report goes on to say that Yuri Koptev, former head of the Russian Federal Space Agency, also known as Roscosmos, could be the new permanent president for Energia. It is no surprise Sevastianov is going and how he thought he could win against Roscosmos is anyone's guess. Sevastianov's love of his winged mini-shuttle Kliper (or Clipper) and claims about lunar tourism was in direct conflict with Russia's government's ten-year space programme. The recent history of the Russian space programme has been a tug of war between Energia, which during the 1990s many had come to believe was running the programme, and Roscosmos, which was reasserting its role after Putin took control of the country and began putting his men into positions of power. Ultimately, and inevitably, Energia's independently minded president lost.

5 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks: CWH, NS, HTS, VNR, AGNC
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.TheStreet Ratings' stock model projects a stock's total return potential over a 12-month period including both price appreciation and dividends. Our Buy, Hold or Sell ratings designate how we expect these stocks to perform against a general benchmark of the equities market and interest rates.
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
CommonWealth REIT
Dividend Yield: 4.90%CommonWealth REIT (NYSE:CWH) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.90%. CommonWealth REIT is a real estate investment trust launched and managed by Reit Management & Research LLC. The fund invests in the real estate markets of the United States. It seeks to invest in office buildings, industrial buildings, and leased industrial land. The company has a P/E ratio of 51.08.The average volume for CommonWealth REIT has been 2,870,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. CommonWealth REIT has a market cap of $2.4 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are up 29% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday.TheStreet Ratings rates CommonWealth REIT as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth and increase in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's return on equity has been disappointing.Highlights from the ratings report include:- CWH's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 12.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 13.4%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- COMMONWEALTH REIT has improved earnings per share by 33.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, COMMONWEALTH REIT increased its bottom line by earning $0.34 versus $0.19 in the prior year.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- 36.70% is the gross profit margin for COMMONWEALTH REIT which we consider to be strong. Regardless of CWH's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, CWH's net profit margin of 9.17% is significantly lower than the industry average.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, COMMONWEALTH REIT underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.

Campus Housing: Living on campus can be relaxing, busy, or what ever you make it to be. There are strict rules to follow so nothing gets to out of hand, yet there are also plenty of ways to enjoy spending time with friends or getting your work done.
Nightlife: Everything entertaining is primarily in town and is available for safe and tons of fun for everyone. There are bars, lounges, places for bands to play, resturants, stores, and so much more.
Computers: If you are in need of anything on a computer or any internet access what so ever, there are plenty of places to go to get your work done, when you need it done.
Drug Safety: I have not yet witnessed a single account of drug or alcohol abuse on campus yet.
Off-Campus Housing: Housing opportunities are always opening up to become available to students everywhere. If looking for a place to live off campus, the opportunity is definitely there.
Local Atmosphere: The atmosphere is relaxed and creative while having a type of positive energy added to it. There is beautiful scenery that is balanced perfectly with the surroundings along with art in the courtyard. There are stores and dinning places of all sorts. There is hardly ever a day where you cannot find something to do.
Academics: I really like the diversity of the academics and the teachers at the school. The teachers love to see their students succeed and strive forward. The classes aren't boring and if tutoring is needed, there are many hours and opportunities to get help.
Health & Safety: There are two police stations in the area of the campus, one includes the town police and the other includes the campus police themselves. Their presence is known and there are plenty of call boxes incase someone would ever need to call them. However, even though security enforcement is there, it doesn't stop people from committing crimes.
Diversity: The sky is the limit when it comes to diversity. Every single day you can take a gander around the campus and realize that there are many different faces to the world. The fact that there are so many different people is what actually makes us all unique as a group. It is interesting and different. It is also good to feel normal in a group of diverse people.
Transportation: Depending on where you live, you can choose your transportation. Many people live on campus and can simply walk to their classes, others live in the town of Bloomsburg itself and can also walk, ride the shuttle bus, or take their own car. Others who live farther away can drive. Transportation is not that big of an issue. There is a fair amount of parking spaces and parking lots. Overall, there are hardly any problems with transportation.
Weather: The views definitely make up for the rain (it rains a lot) and because we're in the mountains, it can get a bit windy. However there is nothing better than Bloomsburg in the April/May months!
Academics: I'm a psych major and everyone in that department is extremely helpful

Once the breakfast for humble fishermen, shrimp and grits has become a signature Southern dish and high cuisine (MCT photo / October 3, 2012) |
Shrimp and grits, the shrimper's breakfast born on the tidal creeks of the Lowcountry, has become the iconic dish of the South.
"It's become the go-to dish that represents the South," says Matt Lee, who writes Charleston, S.C.-based cookbooks with his brother, Ted Lee.
"Shrimp and grits say 'Southern' in such a clean, elegant way."
Today chefs all over the South are doing what he calls "shrimp and grits 2.0," with all kinds of riffs.
At Flavors of the Earth in Charlotte, chef Marc Jacksina does an Asian-inspired version that involves Korean kimchee and shrimp braised in dashi, a Japanese fish broth.
Tomato-based shrimp and grits
Yield: 4 servings.
1 1/2cups stone-ground grits
1 1/2cups whole milk
4 cups water, divided, plus a little more to finish the sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons rendered bacon drippings (see note)
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 teaspoons chopped green pepper
1 1/2cups small, peeled, raw shrimp
1 1/2tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
Stir the grits into a bowl of cold water and let settle. Skim off any hulls that float to the surface and drain the grits. Bring the milk and 3 cups water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Add the grits, stirring with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium, add salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. When the grits begin to thicken, reduce heat to very low and cook, stirring often and adding more water if needed. Cook 35 to 45 minutes, until grits are fluffy and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Posted By Barresi on 16 Jun 2011 06:03 AM Fishing with wire or titanium leader isn't the answer....Fish like stripedbass for example will spit out the bait before sucking it in if they feel anything unusal, (wire & titanium). When I fish for stripedbass, there's almost always bluefish present...and they have teeth...sharp teeth...that doesn't discourage me from using flurocarbon leader...80lbs is strong....and it isn't that hard to tie knots with it. You have to moisten the leader before you cinch down on the knot.
Well I don't fish for Stripers or Blue fish, but I do for Pike and Muskie and have never had the problem you describe of them spitting it out due to the Wire/Titanium Leader. So I'll keep fishin em , I have had em bite thru em on occassion tho!!! but hey thats part of fishin!!!!!!
Posted By Pegsguy on 15 Jun 2011 10:00 AM I have never fished with anything that heavy but my experience with fluoro is that it tends to break after even a small nick. I agree with the titanium or at least a wire leader.

Review: iDupe for Mac scans your iTunes library and removes duplicate tracks
iDupe is designed to help you remove any duplicate tracks from your iTunes library with an outside scan action. After loading the app, you can select specific tracks in your library and run a scan to detect any duplicates and then take action to remove them, rename them, or check them again. The app offers a number of options for how you treat the duplicates you find; and while the interface is a bit rudimentary, it all works fairly well for removing those dead and extra tracks from your system.
After installation, which is fairly straightforward, iTunes will open automatically … Read more

Conference programme now available
Although plans for new nuclear build are continuing to push ahead strongly in China, UAE, India and other developing economies, the aftermath of the tragic events at Fukushima Daiichi in 2010 continues to have a significant impact on plans elsewhere.
The consequent international debate about nuclear goes well beyond resilience to earthquakes, but encompasses many perceived inherent issues notably, long-term waste management, sustainability of fuel cycles, management of legacy facilities, skills availability, manufacturing capability and economic risk. This situation is clearly of great international significance given the low carbon and availability credentials of nuclear power.
Building on the success of the inaugural Nuclear Fuel Cycle Conference in 2012, IChemE is expanding the conference content for the Sustainable Nuclear Energy 2014 programme to include a broader range of topics and streams for nuclear energy suppliers, academics and consumers to use as platform to discuss the latest challenges and opportunities associated with the rising global energy demand.
To view the programme and register, visit the event website: www.icheme.org/snec2014

Following RATS, Mars Hill Cycling will show A Ride with George Hincapie to round out the double feature highlighting two of the USA's most respected cyclists. Presented in conjunction with Plan A Films and Hincapie Sports. A Ride was directed by Chusy Jardine, the award winning director, whose film "Anywhere, USA" (based on and filmed in Asheville) won a prestigious Sundance award.
The event will be hosted by Asheville Pizza and Brewing Co. on Thursday, March 11.
Here's the trailer for RATS:
For those unfamiliar with the Leadville 100, here's what it's all about:
At 10,000+ feet, against the misty backdrop of a former mining town, Leadville, Colorado, 1228 cyclists line the starting line. For many, it will be the most difficult race of their lives. For some, a bragging right to say they raced alongside the best in the world. Some imagine victory. Most hope only to finish. But everyone will count.
And the trailer for A Ride with George Hincapie
And here is the scoop on "A Ride With George Hincapie":
Spanning his early years as a junior to the disappointment of 2009 Roubaix, this unadorned everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-the-guy portrait puts a microscope on the silent man of cycling, George Hincapie. Ride along with George as he shares his joys and inspirations, his fears and frustrations, his anger (or lack thereof), his hopes and dreams, his strengths and weaknesses, and his plans for the future as he gives us a unique peak into his private world. A Ride with George Hincapie is a feature-length film that provides an unprecedented look at the man behind the athlete.

Hole Eight
Hole 8 can be a very challenging par four, an easy birdie, or a score killer. Keep in mind the creek on the right side of the fairway before you tee it up. Your tee shot must be hit far enough to get a look around the sweeping dog-leg to the left, but if you hit too far, you'll be in the rough, or even in the trees. The second shot (below left) is to an elevated, two-tiered green. The front half of this green slopes from back to front, but the back half is fairly flat. Hole 8 plays at 375 yards from the back tees and 334 yards from the middle tee markers. The front tees are listed at 326 yards, but they play closer to 300 yards with the new tee box.
