The Skinny Lattes – getting more women on bikes
I first heard about the Adelaide-based women only cycling club, The Skinny Lattes a couple of years ago but it wasn't until now that I made contact. I previously profiled a women's only club based in Austin, Texas in the US, a country where I'm sure there are plenty of women's only clubs. However, The Skinny Lattes is the only one I'm aware of in Australia (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that). I recently caught up with Belinda Bramley who is the Club Secretary and one of the founding members.
When was the Skinny Lattes formed?
The Skinny Lattes Cycling Club was formed in 2002 by three girlfriends Felicity Laing, Lynette Collins and Belinda Bramley who recognised a need for a women's specific cycling group.
How many members do you have? How do you join?
Currently we have 90 members. We don't search for members – they find us. You contact the club via the website, and then we chat with potential new members and if we sound like the right club you join via the Cycling Australia Website.

Raiders RB McFadden's start leads to scheme scrutiny
Greg Knapp has maintained that his zone-blocking scheme is not the problem, but it's not working thus far for the Raiders.
The Oakland Raiders have agreed to terms with Sims.||||||| Sims played just eight games last season for Cincinnati after beginning the year on the physically unable to perform list with a hamstring injury. He had 12 solo tackles and one interception as a reserve. He has five sacks in 60 career games.
The Bengals added Sims to the 53-man roster on Friday, adding depth to a defensive line that has struggled to get pressure on the quarterback lately.||||||| Sims missed training camp and the first eight games because of a hamstring injury. He'd been on the physically unable to perform list. Sims has started 23 games in his five-year career with the Bengals.
The Cincinnati Bengals agreed to a deal with Sims on Saturday.||||||| Sims, who was an unrestricted free agent, has spent his first four seasons with Cincinnati and started 23 games. He played in 11 games last season before an ankle injury ended his campaign and totaled 28 tackles with one sack.
The Bengals have placed Sims on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday after learning his left ankle was more severely hurt than initially thought.||||||| The defensive tackle sat out a 35-7 loss in Pittsburgh with the injury, but hoped to be recovered before the end of the season. Coach Marvin Lewis says additional tests indicated the injury was too severe. Sims wore a protective boot on the left foot Wednesday and declines to talk about the injury, other than to say he is disappointed he won't get a chance to play again.
The Bengals put Sims on injured reserve with a broken forearm, suffered during a 37-0 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday night.||||||| Cincinnati replaced him on the roster by signing cornerback Keiwan Ratliff on Monday. Ratliff was a second-round pick in 2004 who played parts of four seasons in Cincinnati.

People from all over East Texas were on hand
at an air show Saturday in Nacogdoches, but this wasn't just any air show. It was
all remote controlled model planes.
Looking at a plane doing four barrel rolls in a
row might make a person dizzy, but to the remote
control pilots, it's one of the best things to do.
"I like to do flips and I
like to stall and come back down," said pilot Mason Howell.
The planes at The Nacogdoches
Aero Modelers Club come in all shapes and sizes.
Some planes resemble old war
planes, while others look like futuristic helicopters.
There is something for everyone.
"We're all interested in aviation,"
said President Jackie Ivey. "Even though we are flying the smaller planes; these
planes still have the same type of aerodynamics as the big planes do."
Don't be fooled by their size,
they can go fast and landing is always tricky.
"With radio controls, you
can find other ways to destroy them that real planes don't have," said pilot
Mike Armand.
At 10 years old, Howell is one of
the youngest members in the club.
"I like other people watching
me and I like showing off," said Howell.
Through the free kids'
membership, Sarah Wood hopes to join the ranks of an experienced model plane
"I was scared because I didn't
know how to do the flips," said Wood. " All I did was go straight and turn and
then come back."
One day, she hopes to be able to
master the flips.
The group is always excepting new members.

Levine vs. Lambert: Maroon 5 Singer's Accidental Twitter Attack
[photogallerylink id=41096 align=left]Adam Levine of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Maroon 5[/lastfm] almost started a war between fans on Twitter when he claimed to never have heard one of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Adam Lambert's[/lastfm] songs before. Thanks to Lambert's diplomacy and graciousness in the situation, everything quickly calmed even though Levine didn't back down.
Levine enjoyed last night's episode of The Voice when he said to have never heard a song performed by contestant "Nakia."
The song happened to be Lambert's hit "Whataya Want From Me," which enraged his fans pretty much instantly.
Lambert quickly took notice though, and deployed a couple peacemaking tweets, first sticking up for Nakia:
Yeah Nakia! Saaaang boy!! Great performance. I think Adam might know who I am after this next album. Get ready for me Levine. Hahah—
Adam Lambert (@adamlambert) June 22, 2011
Then he put any potential hostility to rest by showing plenty of respect for Levine.
But for the record, Im def a Maroon 5 fan. Fans: there is NO reason to be angry. Thanks for being protective but it's all good. :)—
Adam Lambert (@adamlambert) June 22, 2011
Levine still wasn't done. Though the situation had died down, he couldn't let it go. He unleashed this tweet refusing to apologize to anyone.
I had honestly never heard that song before. I thought that @nakia made me like a song that would have otherwise fallen flat. I'm NOT sorry.—
Adam Levine (@adamlevine) June 22, 2011
Finally, Nakia stepped in and offered his attempt to defuse the trouble.
Before I go to bed: Fans, pls don't hate on @adamlevine for his comments about WWFM. He's a great guy & wasn't trying sabotage anything. xo—
(@Nakia) June 22, 2011
Ultimately, this could all be forgotten – it's already been forgiven. It just shows how careful celebrities need to be on Twitter!
Both Adams had plenty of Voice fans seeing them in action on Twitter last night, and the second Levine said anything bad he got BOMBARDED with retaliations from fans! Would you let this one slide?

Entertainment is very British with the usual brash double entondre humour on board English comedian called Buster. If you closed your eyes you would swear you were listening to Lenny Hendry!! The all singing and dancing company were just fantastic and if I recall they performed 6 completely different multi change, high energy routines on this seven day cruise! This was on top of their other entertainment help outs over the week.
The food in both the Compass Rose restaurant and the 24hr bun fight Lido Buffet eatery were again very British fare with "Home from Home" food with emphasis on quantity rather than quality.The did have a cover charge restaurant called Sirocco`s A La Carte which we never tried mainly because of the £19 surcharge!!A bit over the top for Thomson when you consider the bigger cruise companies charge on average $20
To sum up, if you are older single cruiser or a couple, and is your first or second cruise, not looking for glitz, like an array of bars and public lounges with food that is only acceptable with fantastic show times then this is the cruise for you.

PLAINFIELD — The fire caused estimated damages in excess of $100,000 and sent one firefighter to the hospital with a minor injury.
Plainfield, Avon, Decatur, and Wayne Township fire departments collaborated on the fire, which took nearly an hour to contain.
Plainfield Fire Marshal Ken Foster said department collaboration and working smoke alarms were keys in preventing the situation from being even worse.
"In this case, the smoke alarm was in a place to detect smoke where there were no occupants," he said. "They were in a back room. Had it not alerted, the fire could have easily broken in. (All the departments) worked very well together.
"One of the reasons each department got there so quickly is we have a combined joint dispatch center and our radio systems are corrected so we're all notified at the same time so we can respond quickly rather than one responding and requesting another and then requesting another."
Foster said the firefighter who sustained a minor injury was taken to Hendricks Regional Health in Danville and was later released.
He said that there were eight apartments involved in the fire and several others that were affected by smoke and water damage.
Witnesses at the scene described seeing the roof collapse.
The Plainfield Police Department and the Hendricks County Sheriff's Department assisted in evacuating occupants.
Foster said this case goes to show how important smoke alarms can be, and urged citizens to make sure their own alarms are in optimal condition.
"Push the test button at least every three months and change the battery annually," he advised.
He also said that many local departments give out smoke alarms to those who cannot afford them. Plainfield has nearly exhausted its supply but is hoping to get more.
He said people wanting to help the displaced apartment residents should contact the local Red Cross to see what their needs might be. The Red Cross may be reached online at www.redcross.org/in/indianapolis or by calling 684-1441.
The cause of the fire had not been determined as of press time.

S&P Seizes All-Time High on Housing Outlook
This article has been updated to reflect John Fox's full title
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets ticked higher Tuesday after a Conference Board report showed a strengthening in consumer confidence offset indications of business weakness in the Midwest.
The S&P 500 added 0.25% to 1,597.54, snagging an all-time closing high for the index. The S&P rose 1.81% in April.
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index increased in April to a better-than-expected 68.1, up from 61.9 in March. Economists were expecting a rise to 60.8, according to a Thomson Reuters poll. Earlier, the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index reported that its Business Barometer fell 3.4 points to a three and-a-half year low of 49 in April, indicating that business activity weakened in the Midwestern region. It was expected to show an increase to 52.5.Pitney Bowes (PBI), the biggest percentage decliner in the S&P, plummeted 15.6% to $13.67 after the mailing equipment and software company slashed its second-quarter dividend to 18.75 cents a share and reported first-quarter earnings of 42 cents a share on a 4% decline in revenue to $1.2 billion as its International Mailing sales came in flat from the prior year. Analysts, on average, were expecting earnings of 44 cents on revenue of $1.2 billion. "Our expectation was low single-digit organic growth [for total first-quarter earnings growth], continued expense control by companies and then deploying their cash flow ... and the net net of all of that could get you mid to high single-digit earnings growth," said John Fox, director of research at Fenimore Asset Management, which manages some $1.6 billion. "We're coming in line with that; it might be a little bit light." Avon Products (AVP) was a winner, hitting a new 52-week high Tuesday as it gained 4.2% to reach $23.17, lifted by stronger-than-forecast first-quarter earnings. The beauty products company was boosted by sales in Brazil and Russia, as well as continued expense reductions. Best Buy (BBY) was the intraday winner, jumping 7.4% to $25.98 as the electronics retailer exits Europe by agreeing to sell its 50% stake in a joint venture with Carphone Warehouse back to Carphone Warehouse for about $775 million. The next biggest loser was Newmont Mining (NEM), which tumbled 4.7% to $32.39 after the company's first-quarter results Monday fell short on expectations as profit waned on a slump in gold and copper output. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported before the market open that the Employment Cost Index rose a tame 0.3% in the first quarter after a downwardly-revised 0.4% rise in the fourth quarter, a positive in the Federal Reserve's desire to keep wage inflation in check.

"Our book club, Belles, Bows & Books, took a field trip to the Frankie Valli concert. We thought tshirts were a great idea and a great way to find one another! We were sooo pleased with the way the shirts turned out and everyone all night called us the "pink girls". What a blast!"

3.55/5 rDev -5.1%
Ordered a pint of this at The Gun Barrel in Jackson, WY a few nights ago. Following review composed from notes.
Served in a standard American pint glass.
Appearance: Pale gold body shows perfect clarity and gentle carbonation. A thin, white cap sits on top and leaves notch-like rings of lace on the glass walls.
Smell: Crystal malts and dinner rolls make up the malt aspect; lemon zest and soft pine resin show the hop side. A very mild aroma overall. No off-flavors that I can discern, but pretty bland as well.
Taste: Follows the nose very closely, with sweet bread, lemon zest, and pine resin all playing major roles. Hops meld with bready yeast in modestly bitter, somewhat grassy, finish.
Mouthfeel: Light and easy with mild bitterness and fine carbonation. I wish this had a bit more body and bitterness, but it's certainly smooth.
Overall: Very smooth and well-crafted, but also very mild. I'd prefer a bit more boldness and kick, but that's me. For those Trader Joe's shoppers out there, think Mission St. Pale Ale.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine June 2007.
One of a handful of beers available in the bottle from Snake River. This is one of their flagship beers: a dry-hopped American Pale Ale.
A bright, rich golden beer with a tight, creamy lace that sticks. Powdery pale malts in the nose, with mild fruity esters. Very smooth and creamy, with a full and rounded body. Starts with a slight carbonation sharpness that segues to soft hop and citric bite. Dominate pale malt sweetness with bready and toasty flavors. Malts are a bit powdery on the palate. Fruity berry esters toward the back. Toasty malt finish, with a touch of dry grain.
This is a very traditional American Pale Ale--which actually makes it quite appealing. It's easy to drink and has plenty going on to keep you interested. We could see this being a staple in the fridge, regularly pairing it with basics, like a chef's salad or cheddar cheese on cracked pepper crackers.

12 oz can. Pours slightly hazy straw yellow with a medium creamy white head that quickly goes to a thin film that laces the glass some.
The aroma is toasted caramel malts with some grassy hops.
The flavor is toasted caramel malts and a little fruit with a light bitter grassy hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, a solid pale ale.

Presentation: 12oz brown bottle with a best enjoyed before date clearly printed.
Appearance: Bright golden with a slight chill haze. Soft bubbly white lace covers the top of the brew.
Smell: Dry hopped aroma with sweet floral / citric hop in the nose. Mild fruity esters in the back ground.
Taste: Smooth and malty with a chewy mouth feel, medium bodied with a good amount of residual sweetness. Toasted malt flavor throughout. Beautiful aggressive and pungent hop bitterness that fades slowly with a long drawn out citric flavor, typical American hop character. Bitter-sweet finish.
Notes: Distinctive in its American characteristics between the hop makeup and the malt profile this brew is spot on for style. I thoroughly enjoyed this beer with its loud-mouthed hop bitterness, makes it that much more drinkable.

Thanks to Cavie for sharing this beer. This is the first beer I have tried from Wyoming.
Pours yellow with a white head. The aroma is grainy malts with some grassy hops. The flavor is more of the same, with the hops overshadowed by the malts. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Wish there was a little more hop presence in this one.

Poured a cloudy golden blond in color. Fairly thick and somewhat lasting white head bubbles up from the pour. Aromas are subdued piney-citrus, with a good dose of malty sweetness. Flavor is more of the same. Well-balanced flavor, with a nice orange rind-pine cone mix of hoppy character that is somewhat offset by the current of caramel running underneath. Finishes surprisingly sweet, albeit with a hop snap at the end to remind you what this is made of. Mouthfeel is decent and this is certainly drinkable, especially after a few softball games in the summer heat.
Thanks to AKSmokedPorter for this one.

Picked this one up while I was in Idaho. Standard pale ale appearance, light copper, 1" head, not much lace to speak of. Aroma was also copper, that metallic bitterness and mildly hoppy. For the claims of dry hopping, this one seems to barely qualify. Still nice though.
Easy to drink pale, I'd guess the ibu's are in the high 40s range, standard hopping, enough to qualify, not enough to make the aroma or taste result in me saying, hey this is a hoppy beer. Achieves balance. Nice pale malt is complimentary to the tame citrus flavor. Definitely a good gateway craft beer, or just plain good, can please palates of many interests.

Appearance: Copper orange large white fluffy head forms even lacing solid looking brew. Aroma: Slight hop profile great stuff pine floral touch of citrus hops as well nicely balanced with caramel malts not to sugary at all even session pale ale. Taste: Mild hop dose subtle sweetness great mix for the overall flavor solid offering from Wyoming. Mouthfeel: Medium to light bodied evenly carbonated this beer doesn't know how to offend. Drinkability: Very drinkable version of a classic American pale ale, and one that I will whenever it's available to sip on.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a slight hazy to the golden yellow body with a tiny ring of foam floating on top. There is a strong carbonation of big bubbles gliding through the body.
S- The smell of citrus hops has a slight green bitterness to it but the smell if pretty light.
T- The sweet taste of pale malt has hints of dry biscuit malt and raw grain in the background. The note of green bitter hops has a slight orange flavor to it in the finish.
M- This beer has a medium-full mouthfeel that is boosted by the carbonation.
D- Nice beer with some flavor but not much complexity or interest.

Not sure where this popped up from, but sure.
A creamy head rests at half a finger on a hazed, dark yellow brew that's just shy of amber. Retention is very good, and lacing as creamy as the head itself clings hard to the glass with some thin curtaining on one side.
Ultimately, this beer is a standard (good) APA with pretty good strength to it. It balances caramel malt with an additional honey-like sweetness against a moderate bitterness consisting of flora and pine with a little citrus. It does have a light bite of peppery spiciness and finishes with grass and orange zest.
While remaining crisp and smooth from start to finish, with a nice bite and a good flow, there's something just lacking in the depth that holds it back slightly. It's clean in its medium body.

A hazyy gold body with a nicely constructed head. Fine bubbles leave a delicate lacing.
More citric than floral nose. just enough malt to hold up the hops. Not a big biter. Very refreshing finish. I like this as a first beer of the day. Am I sick?
Sorry I only grabbed two singles. Not world class- just worthy.

Snake River- Pale Ale
Thanks to Pimpp for this 1.
A- Bright copper orange with a small but sticky head.
S- Oily pine hops with stromg caramel malt.
T- Pine hops up front with a sweet caramel malt body. Green and floral hops come out in the end.
M- Sweet up front with big flavor on the tongue. Finishes of crisp and clean.
Overall- A mild APA that makes this too easy to drink. I would drink 2 of these before moving up to something bolder.

Pretty much the archetypical APA. Liberal citric hopping, with some floral tones as well. The floral tones are especially evident on the nose.
Pours a deep gold color that is hazy as well
Hits the tongue with a rush of the aforementioned citiric/floral flavors. A sturdy biscuit malt background makes sure everything stays together. Finishes up quite sweet, then dries out. Fantastically balanced.
This is a wondeful APA, one of my favorites for the style.
Easy to drink, yet a bier with some complexities.
Very recommended.

12 oz brennan's, best by july (hopefully 06)
appearance: pours a very pale golden yellow, slightly hazy, frothy white head present with decent lacing...too watery looking
smell: slightly floral hops but still dull, lightly toasted malt, mild citrus aromas...aromas are rather boring
taste: better than the aroma...first tastes are watered down citrus followed by a toasted grain/malt aftertaste...lemon peel and other fruit sweetener...very average APA
mouthfeel: medium light, active on the tongue
drinkability: quite drinkable but completely not interesting

This is a solid pale ale offering by snake River. The beer poured a clear pale golden color with thin white head that is leaving a nice lace. The scent carries fresh hop. The taste is crisp and clean, very well balanced that finishes just a touch bitter. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with decent carbonation. Overall this is a very sessionable pale ale and well worth the try.

4.5/5 rDev +20.3%
Always seen this around, but never tried it until today.
A: Pours translucent gold with a thin, fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Leaves a little bit of lacing on the glass.
S: Mostly spiced citrus with a hint of bready sweetness.
T: Not really a stand-out pale ale so much as a really good representation of how a good pale ale is done. Honey and a some citrus with a good kick are the stand-out flavors. There's a nice spice to it, too. It's mild, and not super complex, but it's also delicious and has a good balance to it. The aftertaste is mostly crisp pine hops.
M: Light body with a nice tickly carbonation that helps it down almost perfectly. No complaints here.
D: Excellent. It's refreshing and goes down real nice. Very easy to drink.
This is definitely going to become one of my standard session beers. A bit pricey, but better than most other pale ales I've tried. I really like this.

Our Science – Huang Website
Jing Huang, Ph.D.
The overarching goal of the Cancer and Stem Cell Epigenetics Section is to develop novel strategies to combat cancer. We concentrate on studying stem cell differentiation, a fascinating epigenetic process. Specifically, we are investigating the roles of p53 signaling in the regulation of stem cell differentiation and how these roles are related to the tumor suppressive functions of p53.
We have two complementary projects involving embryonic stem (ES) cells and adult stem cells:
1) We are studying DNA damage stress responses of ES cells, with a focus on p53 signaling. ES cells can develop into many different cell types and have huge potential in clinical application. However, it is unknown how ES cells maintain their genome stability responding to DNA damage stress. We aim to address this question by studying p53 signaling, one of the major pathways of DNA damage. We and others have found that p53 plays important roles in the regulation of ES cell differentiation (Li et al., Molecular Cell, 2012; Lee et al., PNAS, 2010).
2) We are also interested in the roles of p53 in the stress responses of adult stem cells. Many tumors contain cells that have stem cell-like features, self-renewal and multipotency. These stem-like cells could arise from either differentiated cells being reprogrammed into a stem cell-like status or adult stem cells being transformed. Regardless of the cell-of-origin of these tumor cells, p53 is critical for suppressing the stem-like phenotype. The mechanisms, however, are largely unclear. We are currently studying the roles of p53 in adult stem cells with the hope to gain insights into the lineage control and the tumor suppressive function of p53.
To achieve our goals, we use various techniques, including molecular biology, biochemistry, mouse genetics, genomics (ChIP-seq and RNA-seq), and systems biology.
All the datasets are downloadable from the GEO database or through the links on the left of this page.

The snow that started falling in west Alabama this morning is now moving through the eastern part of the state.
The National Weather Service in Birmingham has lifted the winter storm warning that was in effect for most of north-central Alabama.
The snow has caused hazardous driving conditions and multiple accidents are reported across the state. So far, no fatalities or serious injuries have been reported.
The sun has come out in several parts of the state, and temperatures are rising as the snow storm moves out. Road conditions in Walker County have greatly improved since earlier today, when local officials worked several wrecks on Highways 5 and 269.
Tuscaloosa police reported working 23 traffic accidents within a two hour period on Thursday. And while the heavy snow created problems for drivers, it made for a fun snow day for University of Alabama students, who joined in a massive snowball fight on the quad.
Local and state officials are still concerned about the possibility of black ice on the roadways as temperatures are expected to dip below freezing late tonight.
Several schools are delaying Friday classes for two hours or until 10 a.m. You can see the entire list of school, business and daycare closings at www.MyFoxClosings.com.

A man convicted of killing two children has a bond set pending a new trial.
Ed Graf Jr. was convicted in 1988 of killing his two step-sons by burning them in a backyard storage shed. 25 years later, he's going to trial again after a Criminal Appeals court ruled the scientific evidence used to convict Graf has been proven false.
Graf had a hearing Friday in the 54th District Court of McLennan County to decide a bond pending the trial. Both the state and defense called on witnesses with Graf's brother testifying his family could post a $100,000 bond and provide a place for Graf to live. The state also called on Clare Bradburn, Graf's ex-wife and the victims' mother, who testified she would fear for her safety and others if Graf were released pending trial.
Judge Matt Johnson set Graf's bond at $1.5 million. As of late Friday afternoon Graf was still in jail and had not posted bond.
"We are pleased with Judge Johnson's ruling regarding the bond. Over twenty-six years ago, the lives of two little boys were tragically ended. Changes in fire science caused Ed Graf's case to come back to McLennan County. It is my honor to continue to seek justice for the boys," McLennan County DA Abel Reyna said in a release Friday.
Graf's attorney Walter M. Reaves Jr. asked the court to consider appointing Graf an attorney. That's because he had been representing Graf pro bono and was not prepared to continue doing so through the new trial he sought for Graf.
The 54th District Court says they will consider that proposal. The court also says the next hearing has not been set, and will not happen until Graf has been appointed an attorney.

Educational Excursions
Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
Program excursions in Rwanda and northern Uganda provide students with extensive exposure to the region. Students engage with critical issues in reconciliation and redevelopment firsthand and apply concepts introduced through coursework and field exercises.
Excursion sites in Rwanda typically include:
- Murambi Genocide Memorial - a technical school where 50,000 Tutsi were killed
- Gisozi Genocide Memorial and Information Center - informative memorial site with a mass grave outside, a peace garden for reflection, and a comprehensive exhibition on the Rwandan genocide and other genocides of the twentieth century
- TIG (Traveaux pour l'interet general) - a work camp where convicted genocide perpetrators complete community work
- A women's association near Butare where victims of the genocide whose husbands were killed work together with women whose husbands are in prison for committing genocide
- Nyamata and Ntarama Genocide Memorials - two churches in the vicinity of Kigali where mass killings took place
- Millennium Village - peace and reconciliation village. Students visit with cassava farmers and basket weavers and experience cultural dances and local food.
- Habyarimana's Residence - the residence where the plane carrying the presidents of Rwanda and Burundi was shot down. This event was the onset of the 1994 genocide.
Northern Uganda
During the program's two-week excursion to northern Uganda, students have lectures by Ugandan academics, visit a memorial site, witness the aftermath of conflict by visiting a former IDP (internally displaced persons) camp, and experience everyday life in this post-conflict region.
Sites typically include:
- Gulu Concerned Parents Association - an organization of parents whose daughters have been abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army and who provide emotional, psychological, and economic support to families affected by conflict
- Kitgum Straight Talk Foundation - an organization devoted to educating adolescents on growing up and staying safe, reproductive health issues, life skills, and sexuality. Students visit the people of the nearby camp for internally displaced people in Orom, talk to youth leaders, and community members, and practice interview skills.
- Baker's Fort - former place of the slave trade. The fort was captured by Sir Samuel Baker who established a garrison to fight slavery and the slave trade in the years 1872–1888.
- Nakivale Refugee Camp - a refugee camp housing Rwandese, Somali, Sudanese, and Congolese refugees in western Uganda.
- Murchison Falls National Park - Students are able to spot wildlife on an early morning game drive through this national park. A boat trip up the Nile reveals a beautiful view of a stunning waterfall.

The Rice Museum is pleased to present new paintings by Bruce Chandler through March 16 in the Prevost Gallery at 633 Front St. in Georgetown.
Regular museum hours 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For additional information call the museum at 843-546-7423.
Mother, grandmother, daughter and artist explains who Bruce Chandler is and what she is about.
Even though she has made her presence known in Charlotte, N.C., where she now resides, she has retained strong ties to Georgetown.
She offers studio classes monthly at the Rice Museum, where she is artist-in-residence. This group of artists has a show on exhibit in the Prevost Gallery.
It is interesting to note the different approaches that have been taken to present each individuals art.
Remarks regarding this have been overheard show after show and is the indicator of the type of artist and teacher that Chandler strives to be. She truly believes that art should portray each artists self and wishes only to present techniques, products, encouragement, and different creative ways that an artist might combine and/or consider.
In Charlotte, Chandler is often the presenter of art demonstrations and programs for various art clubs and is the founder of the Golden Palette Society.
This art organization has more than 300 pieces on display with quarterly art affairs featuring guest artist and musicians
Chandler is a signature member of the International Society of Experimental Artists, and S.C. and the N.C. Watercolor Societys.
The direction of this artist has changed some, as of late, with the desire to work more for solo exhibitions and creating in different directions, as can be seen at the Rice Museum, rather than the business of competitions, shipping, and memberships.

West Bowling are put out of their misery
6:20pm Tuesday 10th April 2012 in Pennine League By Jack Strother
West Bowling were being crushed 46-0 at home to Sharlston Rovers when the match was abandoned after 62 minutes due to a knee injury to Wests second row forward Elliott Cousins.
The young packman recovered after the game without any serious problems being diagnosed and the early bath probably saved a very youthful Bowling outfit from a huge final score at the hands of a vastly experienced Rovers side intent on having a huge say on who will win the Pennine League Premier Division crown.
Wyke, who are sitting safely in the lower reaches of Division Two, will be disappointed at the 44-12 loss at home to leaders and arch rivals Brighouse Rangers, while Undercliffe Wildboars showed their Division Six title credentials with a 48-4 win at Wetherby Bulldogs.
The Wildboars revealed their intent with first-half touchdowns from Ben Chandler, Aiden Scully and a brace from Kaz Ahmed, which together with two conversions saw them into the sheds 20-0 to the good.
The second half was a fiery affair, with Undercliffe duo Kenny Smith and Steve Ingleson receiving their marching orders, but they shook off the reduction in numbers and returned to the game-plan to punish the full-strength hosts further with Paul Cross (2), Karl Walker, Ash Yarrow and Scully all reaching the whitewash in quick succession.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Ten Die On Kentucky Roadways (March 7 through March 13)
Date of News Release: 03/14/11
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that ten people died in ten separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, Mar. 7, through Sunday, Mar. 13, 2011.
Seven of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and three of the victims were not wearing seat belts. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Grayson, Harrison, Jefferson, Nelson, Oldham, Spencer and Warren counties. The crashes in Nelson and Warren counties involved the suspected use of alcohol.
One motorcycle involved fatality occurred in Graves County and the victim was wearing a helmet.
Two pedestrian involved crashes occurred in Hart and Jefferson County.
Through Mar. 13, preliminary statistics* indicate that 110 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2011. This is ten less fatalities than reported for the same time period in 2010. There were ninety-one motor vehicle fatalities and fifty-five of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Fourteen of those crashes involved a commercial motor vehicle. Three crashes involved and motorcycles and two victims were not wearing helmets. One crash involved an ATV and the victim was not wearing a helmet. Fifteen crashes involved pedestrians. A total of sixteen fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

The Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test isn't the most sensitive test on the market, digital or manual, but users like that its "pregnant" or "not pregnant" results are clear and concise. It's most accurate four days after a missed period.
Most accurate after a late period. The Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test claims to be 99 percent accurate when used on the day your period is due, but one independent study reports that it's only 51 percent accurate on that actual day and 100 percent accurate four days later. Users find it to be most accurate at 15 days past ovulation, around the time a period is expected to begin in an average 28-day menstrual cycle.
Consumers frequently complain about false positives with the Clearblue Digital test, and others say they can still see the "not" faintly even when they get a "pregnant." So although this test is marketed as the most definitive to read, correctly reading the results may still be confusing. Based on a close read of most user posts, the problem may be due to testing that's done too early for optimal accuracy.
Don't trust early testing. The manufacturer says the Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test can detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels as low as 25 mIU/ml. However, one independent study indicates that it can detect levels as low as 2.9 mIU/ml in a low percentage of cases. Clearblue recommends using the test on the first day of a missed period, but adds that "53 percent of pregnant women get results five days sooner" when testing four days before a missed period. It's important to note that these results can't be trusted: Independent research shows the test to be only about 3.8 percent accurate at picking up an hCG concentration of 2.9 mIU/ml four days before an expected period.
Uses words to give results. The Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test indicates pregnancy with the words "not pregnant" for a negative or "pregnant" for a positive. Pretty straightforward, right? Maybe not. A number of users say you can see a faint "not" even when the test is positive, which causes confusion. Several others say they saw the word "pregnant," then took another test that showed "not pregnant."
The latter issue may indicate defective tests or the common phenomenon with pregnancy tests of seeing what one wants badly to see. On the whole, most women say test results are extremely straightforward; Clearblue Digital appears to be the choice of those who don't like trying to puzzle out a faint second line.
To use the test, just urinate on the tip for five seconds or dip it in a clean cup of collected urine for 20 seconds. A built-in timer in the shape of an hourglass tells you the test is working and counts down to the three minutes to read the test, although results may show up sooner. The Clearblue Digital activates as soon as it's opened, so it shouldn't be opened until it's ready to be used.

Review Credibility: Very Good This clinical study evaluates the urine samples of 120 known pregnant women to evaluate the claims of early pregnancy detection by six brands of tests. Researchers conclude that Clearblue Digital's claims of being 99 percent accurate on the day of a missed period are misleading. Study results show that it's 51 percent accurate on that day and 100 percent accurate four days after a missed period.

Review Credibility: Very Good With about 3,300 pregnancy test results here, the Clearblue Digital earns an overall rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 after more than 100 reviews. Users say the results are very clear and the words are easy to read without trying to squint at symbols or lines. An interpretation of the submitted statistics indicates the test is most accurate at 15 days past ovulation, approximately the day a period is expected to start for most women. Before that, you're most likely to get a false negative if you're pregnant.

Review Credibility: Very Good The Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test gets 3.1 stars out of 5 after about 160 reviews. Most women say it's very accurate, even for early testing.

240 utility engine in Super C
I have a Super C with a bad engine. I have a good engine from a 240 utility. Is it possible to install the 240 utility engine in my Super C?
Re: 240 utility engine in Super C
Does the 240 have a135 in it ? If so it may not fit,Ihave a 330 U with a 135 in it and the back of the engine is wider where the toque tube bolts. But they also made a 135 that would fit.

Re: 240 utility engine in Super C
The C-123 used in the 140/240 and later has a water pump mounted on the block, similar to later model car engines. Connections to the radiator are different and may cause you a problem with the Super C radiator.
Re: 240 utility engine in Super C
Sorry for the tardy reply, been a long year... But thought I'd offer some notes.
The back of the block will bolt right in, but the front is a different matter. Make sure the 240 motor is complete, as you will need to bring over all the new style accessories with the motor, then find a 140 donor for the radiator and it's bracket. And make sure we are dealing with a Super C vs a straight C or the grill will be to short. Match the air cleaner to which manifold you use as they align differently.
I've done this swap before, it's possible; but the motors are not a direct swap. As Jim mentioned, the blocks are different which requires a new water pump and pulley arrangement. Everything is driven from a single thin belt vs the two belts used on the Super C. The upper water neck and the radiator inlet are also at different angles which requires the 140 radiator replacement.
