Third-Party Study-Abroad Organizations
Third-Party Study-Abroad Organizations
Third-party providers are independent organizations that facilitate or administer study-abroad programs. They often act as intermediaries by assisting program participants with logistics like course registration and housing arrangements. While models differ, academic and social guidance is generally included throughout the duration of a program, such as orientation, support services, field trips and cultural activities. Additionally, providers are typically able to provide transcripts that ease credit transfer for students who enroll in their programs based at universities abroad. Some are for-profit organizations.
Here are a few prominent third-party providers:

CHESTER, S.C., June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Giti Tire executives joined Governor Nikki Haley along with State and Chester County officials today in announcing the plan to build a new tire manufacturing plant to meet growing demand in the North American market. The $560 million facility will be located in Chester County and is expected to generate 1,700 new jobs over the next 10 years.
"This significant investment represents our strong commitment to customers in North America. This is a key milestone for Giti Tire and an important part of our growth strategy worldwide. Existing business and strong demand for Giti Tire's passenger and light truck tires in North America has made this significant investment in South Carolina possible. Giti Tire would like to thank Governor Haley, Secretary Hitt, the state and people of South Carolina, Chairman Roddey and the Chester County community for welcoming us," said Enki Tan, executive chairman of Giti Tire Group.
"This is another huge win for our state and Team South Carolina. We are the nation's tire capital, and Giti's decision to come to our state is another great sign that our economic development efforts are paying off for the hardworking people of South Carolina. We celebrate Giti Tire's $560 million investment that will create 1,700 new jobs in our growing tire industry," said Gov. Haley.
This is the first greenfield project in North America for Giti Tire. The plant will produce passenger and light truck tires for the replacement and original equipment markets. The plant will be built with a focus on maintaining a healthy balance with the environment and following Giti Tire's green initiatives.
"Chester County is an excellent location for Giti Tire, offering an extensive and efficient infrastructure network including interstate highways, rail, close proximity to airports and a major metropolitan area to support the company's needs and growth for many years to come," said Lei Huai Chin, managing director of Giti Tire Group.
"The new facility will combine a manufacturing plant and distribution center with total building area estimated to be 1,800,000 square feet. The first phase of production capacity is expected to be 5 million tires annually. Giti Tire plans to further increase production capacity in response to future market demand and conditions," said Tom McNamara, executive vice president of sales and marketing, Giti Tire (USA) Ltd.
Giti Tire Group has been in the tire business since 1951, and is ranked 10th globally by Tyre Press. Giti Tire operates 8 manufacturing plants, produces a broad range of tire products and markets to customers in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Actually, The CDC's latest report from the first week in February (released this past Friday) showed California's activity to be "moderate", down from "high" the previous 2 weeks. Not only did California show a decrease, but most of the country (including many other states in the west) did as well.

SEATTLE — Golden Tate knew it was coming.
After spending Week 8 verbally and physically battling the the St. Louis Rams' secondary, he expected the Rams to be focused on him Sunday.
They were. They "smacked" Tate repeatedly, to use his word, yet the talkative wide receiver composed himself.
Even after scoring a 47-yard touchdown that was similar to his 80-yard touchdown in St. Louis, Tate didn't taunt the Rams. During his Week 8 touchdown against St. Louis, Tate waved goodbye to the Rams' secondary and was flagged for taunting 20 yards from the end zone.
On Sunday, Tate had a career-high eight receptions and 129 yards. Plus, zero penalties.
"They definitely put me on my tail a few times early in the game," Tate said. "I just had to keep getting back up and don't let them get in my head enough where it changes my game. Just stay even-keel, make the plays that come to you and at the end of the day, a big win and a big game is way more valuable than any chirping or any cheap shots."
The Seahawks countered the Rams' potent pass rush with quick passes to Tate. He banged and bounced his way to strong gains following the short passes.
"Last game they got after us and this game they got after us," Tate said. "We had to stay with it, stay with it. We had some very basic routes that turned into explosive plays."
In the fourth quarter, he struck for a deep score. The overall scheme was different, but it was the same route Tate ran in St. Louis that led to an 80-yard score. He adjusted back to snag Russell Wilson's throw before heading upfield. He was caught just before the goalline, though he was able to spin in.
Tate finished the regular season with a team-leading 64 catches for 898 yards.
"We're back to where we want to be," Tate said. "I think it's a great way to start the new year, as NFC champs."
Pregame, free safety Earl Thomas was going through his regular routine before being interrupted.
Warmups were over and Thomas was told he had to head out to the field. When he walked out of the home tunnel, Steve Largent and a trophy were waiting for him at an on-field podium.
Thomas was the recipient of the Steve Largent Award, given annually to the team contributor best exemplifying the spirit, dedication, and integrity of Largent.
Thomas had no idea the award, which is voted on by teammates, was going to be presented to him. Suddenly, he's standing next to Largent, his face is on the largest screen in the stadium and the whole place is standing.
That got to him. He blinked back tears.
"Just the moment, I guess," Thomas said. "I'm very emotional, especially around gameday, because I love this game already so much. It was just a humbling experience to see Steve Largent right here giving the award. It was like my little moment. You dream of stuff like that. It was just a great experience."
Thomas, 24, was named to his third consecutive Pro Bowl on Friday. He's a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year who continues to ride an uptick on and off the field.
"When guys believe in you, it makes you just elevate even more," Thomas said.
The Seahawks allowed 13 rushing yards Sunday, tying the fewest allowed in the team's history. The last time the Seahawks allowed just 13 rushing yards was Dec. 9, 1990, against Green Bay.
Seattle's defense finished the regular season leading the NFL in fewest points allowed per game (14.4), fewest yards allowed per game (273.6), fewest passing yards allowed per game (172), most interceptions (28) and turnover margin (plus-20).
Backup tight end Luke Willson was driven off the field on a cart with his lower left leg in an air cast in the fourth quarter.
Pete Carroll said Willson had a high ankle sprain and did not break his ankle.
The Seahawks had a scare when Thomas and Richard Sherman collided in the end zone going after a wobbling Kellen Clemens pass. Sherman took most of the blow and was briefly down in the end zone. He jogged off in pain and crumpled onto the bench. After being looked at by trainers, he didn't miss any plays.
"He got hit in the hip, but he came back and played, so he's OK," Carroll said.
Defensive tackle Brandon Mebane strained his groin and did not return to the game. Carroll said Mebane should be healed following the bye week.
Cornerback and special teams gunner Jeremy Lane hurt his shoulder, but Carroll said Lane was fine.
There were 68,264 tickets distributed Sunday. The 2014 total of 545,577 is a CenturyLink record for attendance in a season. ... Mariners legend Jay Buhner raised the 12th Man flag. ... Rams kick returner Justin Veltung, who was in camp this year with the Seahawks and is a Puyallup High graduate, left the game after being hit by the Seahawks Ricardo Lockette and sustaining a head injury.

With cameras rolling this spring on "Passion," Brian De Palma's first feature film in six years, there's no doubt it will be a hot item when it's repped at the Cannes marketplace, and certainly this first official image from the film will get people talking.
Stars Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace go in for an (uneasy, it seems) kiss in the thriller that promises to have a sexual charge. A loose remake of Alain Corneau's 2010 French film "Love Crime," which starred Ludivine Sagnier and Kristin Scott-Thomas, that movie told the story of two women involved in a sexy and dangerous power struggle while working at a multinational conglomerate. And while it's still unclear just what changes to the story have been made in de Palma's do-over, the official plot synopsis sheds a bit more light on what we can expect:
An erotic thriller in the tradition of "Dressed To Kill" and "Basic Instinct", Brian de Palma's PASSION tells the story of a deadly power struggle between two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business. Christine possesses the natural elegance and casual ease associated with one who has a healthy relationship with money and power. Innocent, lovely and easily exploited, her admiring protégé Isabelle is full of cutting-edge ideas that Christine has no qualms about stealing. They're on the same team, after all... Christine takes pleasure in exercising control over the younger woman, leading her one step at a time ever deeper into a game of seduction and manipulation, dominance and humiliation. But when Isabelle falls into bed with one of Christine's lovers, war breaks out. On the night of the murder, Isabelle is at the ballet, while Christine receives an invitation to seduction. From whom? Christine loves surprises. Naked she goes to meet the mystery lover waiting in her bedroom...
Needless to say, this first look is a helluva tease, and that description seems to fit squarely in the wheelhouse where De Palma does his best work, so we're pretty excited for this one. No release date yet, but this looks like a nice gear change for McAdams and another fascinating choice from Rapace, and we can't wait to see what they cook up together.

Looks steamy!

No it is not, I lost respect because she did what many others are doing, pleasing the media, among others. I did not exceed the ordinary. You still make no sense. You just want to complain that I don't appeal to your desires. Thanks Roddy, I thought so too.
Renee | May 8, 2012 8:25 PM
I'm not down with that. I had so much respect for her. >:(
Brandon | May 8, 2012 7:27 PM
The script is an incoherent mess. Maybe De Palma and the actors can salvage it, but as it is, the story's awful.
Wendy | May 8, 2012 4:25 PM
So pleased that Rachel is doing something out of her usual genres. Fingers crossed for a 2012 release!

University of Maine President Paul Ferguson has been elected to serve a two-year term on the steering committee of the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). His term begins July 1.
ACUPCC is a consortium of 677 colleges and universities committed to reducing carbon emissions and aggressively promoting energy efficiency. The 33-member steering committee is ACUPCC's chief governing body, responsible for guidance, policy and direction.
The committee convened at the Annual ACUPCC Climate Leadership Summit, June 21-22 in Washington, D.C. The summit was designed to provide senior leadership at colleges and universities nationwide an opportunity to discuss how to achieve ACUPCC goals and promote sustainability on their campuses and throughout higher education. The ACUPCC also released its first five-year report at the summit
As ACUPCC signatory schools, the colleges and universities pledge to conduct annual inventories of all greenhouse gas emissions; implement immediate "tangible actions" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; develop a customized climate action plan to reach climate neutrality in operations; make sustainability a part of the educational experience for students; and to make periodic progress reports publicly available to facilitate and accelerate progress for fellow institutions and society.
In 2011, UMaine was one of three winners of ACUPCC's Second Nature's Leadership Award in the doctorate degree-granting university category. The award recognizes the university's work, progress and commitment to creating a low-carbon future with UMaine constituents and the public.
UMaine has a campus wide commitment among faculty, staff, administrators and students to the mission of the university's Sustainability Alliance. The alliance has been responsible for the UMaine climate action plan and the sustainability-focused campus master plan.
Other examples of UMaine's climate leadership include the creation of several new graduate programs that provide opportunities for UMaine students to become environmental leaders; an infusion of $50 million from external sources to create solutions to Maine's environmental problems through the Maine Sustainability Solutions Initiative; and research in climate change, offshore wind energy and forest biofuels.

text: Best Dressy Sweatshirts For Holiday Parties 2012 When Two (Style) Worlds Collide, You Get These 10 Dressy Sweatshirts by Marisa Tom 11/15/12 9 Reactions 18 Shares Print 0 6 12 0 0 We'll tell you this right now: this is as close as you'll get to wearing your sweats to a party. Seriously. In the same vein as other punched-up loungewear, you get the best of both worlds. Let's be clear, though: this is kind of a harvest-moon situation. Yes, you can don these dressy sweatshirts year-round, but we find that these ultraembellished, lace-covered, bejeweled, and feathered iterations make the best statement during the holidays. Instead of opting for a festive cocktail dress, go with something that's fun, eye-catching, and that basically solves all your styling problems in one go. There's a 3.1 Phillip Lim sequined, colorblocked top (pictured here) that we're betting even the sportiest styler will fall for, but if you're not one for the sparkle, don't sweat it. We've got more subtle metallic foiling and houndstooth print where that came from. Ten, to be exact. Now, all that's left to do is add a slick pair of black trousers and pumps — or a pencil skirt, if you're feeling sexy — and you're ready to hit the holiday party circuit. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The minute we spotted this gray silk iridescent sequined sweatshirt by Phillip Lim ($995), we knew we'd never feel the same about "dressy" sweatshirts. It's literally a party of one on top, with all the appeal of something comfortable and sporty. All you need is a pair of slim-cut black trousers, ankle-strap pumps, and a snakeskin clutch (just a suggestion), and you're ready to hit the party circuit. 1 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Following suit on the baroque trend, Zara's brocade knit sweatshirt ($70) gives us everything we need in the way of dark, moody romance with a side of textural elegance. 2 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As part of the eBay Holiday Collective, the Tibi Quixote lace short-sleeve sweatshirt ($85) has been high on our shopping list for a while now, but now its lacy finish is ours for the snagging. It can be yours, too. Wear it with a waxed/coated pair of jeans and patent-leather loafers for a dressy-meets-low-key look. 3 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A festive, red-sheened topper with a classic houndstooth print provides the perfect amount of holiday dynamic, so you needn't do much else in the way of bold accessorizing. The best part? This piece really exists: J.Crew Collection houndstooth popover ($525). 4 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's something totally vintage-y (like, maybe you found this at the back of your cool grandma's closet) about this April, May Noa sweatshirt ($257). The antiqued paillettes and metallic sequins punch up this casual topper tenfold, and we have to say, it's an eye-catching choice. 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For the girl who wants to keep her flashy fashion more subtle, this ASOS two-toned sweatshirt ($60) plays to both a laid-back sensibility and a party-loving personality. WIth one look at it, you'll know what we mean. 6 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's all about the strategic studding on this Topshop beaded textured sweatshirt ($90), and we're pretty sure the edgier styler would agree. If you're just grabbing drinks, this embellished option would go great with a black leather jacket and a fuller circle skirt. 7 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This may be the only time we'll tell you it's OK to look like a full-on disco ball, and who can blame us? This Alice + Olivia Evelina Top ($396) sets a very festive tone all by itself, but rest assured it isn't too over-the-top. Just remember to go easy on the rest of the styling points: neutral tones are your best friend. 8 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The drawstring detail at the hem of this Mango flower-print sweatshirt ($50) gives whole new meaning to proportional play. Keep it more relaxed with denim and heels, or cinch it in with a slimmer pencil-skirt silhouette; it works either way. 9 / 10 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sometimes all you need is a little sparkle (and feathered detail) to put a luxe spin on your party wares. Case in point: the L'Agence raglan sweatshirt ($300), a key staple in your holiday wardrobe, especially when paired with a longer pencil skirt or a miniskirt-and-opaque-tights combo. 11 / 10 0 6 12 0 0 Read More Holiday FashionTopsShopping Holiday Fashion Prepare Yourself For Cannes With a History of the Festival's Best Dresses 5/14 The Easiest Way to Get Carrie Bradshaw's Shoes Into Your Closet 2/14 10 Stars Who Met Their New Year's Resolution of Looking Hot 1/12 End the Year on a High Note With This Clock-Stopping Outfit 12/31/13 16 Accessories to Ensure a Sparkling Start to 2014 12/30/13 Shop These 4 NYE Dresses Right Now! 12/30/13 Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

Firm 'won't jeopardise' Olympic legacy to repay debts
Responding to the claims of MPs in a post-Games review, the London Legacy Development Corporation said it will not jeopardise the "long-term legacy" of the Olympic Park by rushing to repay its debts.
– LLDC chief executive Dennis Hone
We have to look at the longer term impact and to balance that with our obligations not just to the Lottery but also to the Greater London Authority in terms of receipts going back.
While there is a drive to maximise receipts and get the taxpayers' money back, no one would want us to act as some kind of rapacious developer at the risk of jeopardising the long-term legacy of the Park.
It is a balance and we have to work that through over the coming months.
Also responding to the Public Accounts Committee's review, the Culture department said there are "many lessons learned" from London 2012 which the Government was "sharing for future projects".
– Culture department spokesman
The Government is committed to delivering a tangible, lasting legacy from the Games and work is well under way on this.
We have been crystal clear that the lottery has an entitlement to receive £675 million from land sales from the Olympic Park, that is bound by a legal agreement between the Government and Mayor of London. We will respond to the PAC report in full in due course.

Four saved from giant vat of fish feces
TURNERS FALLS, Mass. - This nasty rescue is no fish tale. Rescuers cut through a filtration tank of dense fish feces to reach four workers who fell into the sludgy dung Friday while cleaning the 18-foot tank at a western Massachusetts farm.
The workers became trapped for 45 minutes after a bracket holding a plastic filtration pad collapsed as workers stood on it to clean the fiberglass tank at the Australis Aquaculture fish farm, said Capt. David Dion of the Turners Falls Fire Department and the fish farm's manager Josh Goldman.
One of the farmhands fell below what Dion described as a sand-and-feces mix, while the other three had their heads above the sludge, he said.
Goldman said the workers and the pad, which collects bacteria created by fish urine and feces, like some household aquarium filters, fell to the bottom of the tank.
"Everybody's present and accounted for," Goldman said. "A couple of the guys even came back to say hi."
Rescuers slashed through the feces mix until they were able to pull out the workers, Dion said.
"It was very slimy and it was heavy," he said. "Never seen anything like it in my life."
One worker who became submerged in the feces was airlifted to Bay State Medical Center in Springfield, but was talking with paramedics and did not appear to have life-threatening injuries, Dion said. The other three were taken by ambulance to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Dion said rescue workers cut a hole in the side of the tank at the farm which raises barramundi, a new fish farmed as a replacement for grouper.

Yup, you heard that right. Now, let me explain.
I write this with cautious optimism (every Tech fan's middle name, seems like). We've seen mediocre and terrible performances by the offense. We've seen terrible play-calling, terrible o-line play, and terrible decisions from a QB whom about half of DTN'ers wrote off as – well – terrible. But, unlike last season, when injuries and poor play led to the Sticks Sheffield show, Taylor Potts has not been relieved of his duties. We've seen Sheffield get a total of 3 plays thus far.
I don't know what happened in the midst of that excruciating game in Ames, but something happened indeed. Be it mentally, emotionally, physically, or supernaturally – something just changed. There was timing, quickness, assertiveness, and drive in this offense. While it wasn't enough to overcome costly mistakes that put us over a barrel, it was something to build upon.
My theory is that Taylor Potts has no "out" anymore. Last year, when he didn't perform, at least there was a capable replacement. You see, he wasn't forced to get better. Sheffield was his safety net. Don't get me wrong, I sincerely believe he wanted to do great, he hated to struggle, and he wanted to win. But, he never had a chance to finish what he started. The coaches said "yeah, you're struggling. We'll take care of it for you," and he was benched. But now, these coaches have made it clear that they aren't gonna bail him out of tough situations. You made some bad decisions? Tough, suck it up and make better decisions. You got sacked? Tough, learn to move around or next time will be worse. I called a bad play? Tough - use your safety valve route or get rid of the ball.
This, of course, comes with consequences. Two losses so far seems a hefty price to pay, especially with a senior QB. We're less critical of those growing pains for young qb's that can build on the experience for more seasons to come. I am holding onto hope that the point has been made, though. I'll be the first to admit I wanted Sheffield to be our starting QB. I'd seen enough last year. I'd certainly seen enough after the UT debacle. But maybe, just maybe, we have a new Taylor Potts. Perhaps he's been thrust into a leadership role that he's finally realized he must take with this team. Like it or not, he is the QB, and he's the leader of this offense. He's by no means or measure perfect – no college QB is. He will struggle again, but I hope and pray to the Sweet Baby Jesus he can lead this team when that situation arises. We will soon find out.

Libraries' Going National with Apple Computers Event joins Campus Community in a Conversation about Technology and Education
On Thursday, November 10, 2011 Drexel University Libraries welcomed nearly 100 students, faculty, alumni, staff and friends to Going National with Apple Computers, a film screening and panel discussion centered around the introduction of the 1984 Macintosh computer to the Drexel campus.
The documentary film, Going National, chronicles the innovative Microcomputer Project. Drexel was the first university that required all incoming students to purchase a Macintosh 128K personal computer. Directed by Dave Jones, Ph.D., dean of Pennoni Honors College, the film captures a unique moment in Drexel's history.
"There was an excitement around the campus," Dean Jones said in the discussion following the film, "I liked what [the Microcomputer Project] was doing to Drexel."
Drexel University Libraries to Remember Steve Jobs and the Microcomputer Project that Forever connected Apple Computers with the Drexel Campus
November 1, 2011 (Philadelphia, PA) -- On Thursday, November 10th, Drexel University Libraries will host Going National with Apple Computers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow a film screening and discussion about the microcomputer project at Drexel that changed the future of learning on campus. The event will begin at 6 p.m. at Drexel's innovative new Library Learning Terrace.
The premiere of the documentary film Going National brought former Apple CEO Steve Jobs to Philadelphia in 1985, just a year after the Microcomputer Project first required all incoming students to have a personal computer.

Winchester man caught drink-driving twice in six weeks
2:57pm Monday 18th February 2013 in News
A WINCHESTER man who was twice in six weeks caught drink driving near his home has been banned from for 22 months.
Mark Younger, 45, was stopped by police in Christchurch Road on November 29, magistrates in Basingstoke heard.
His alcohol reading was 83 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, more than double the legal limit.
Then on January 4 Younger was stopped in a 56-reg Audi A3 in Garnier Road, St Cross; his alcohol reading was 61, the court heard.
Younger, of St Cross Road, pleaded guilty to two counts of driving with excess alcohol. As well as the driving ban he was fined £220, ordered to pay costs of £170 and a £20 victim surcharge.
He was also fined £30 for failing to surrender at Basingstoke Magistrates Court on February 12. The 22-month ban will be shortened by 23 weeks if Younger completes an approved course by May 5 2014.

Cordani Aurora Cutout Wedges 3 3
Super Comfy! Love these new Wedges! I got them in the Coral color and I think they are fantastic for the Summer. The cork is really comfortable to walk in and the size was perfect. I think they are reasonably priced, but a little more than I like to pay for a pair of sandals (hence the 4 instead of 5), but I am sure I will get tons of wear out of them! May 23, 2014
Very comfortable and stylish shoe I am a big fan of Cordani wedges. They are very comfortable and stylish. I can wear them for hours, standing and walking. Very well made! April 2, 2014
Cutout wedges They are very uncomfortable and not true to size. They do seem to be made well and I suspect I would like them if the fit were a little more true to size! January 31, 2014

When it comes to safety, Port Arthur Independent School District interim superintendent Dr. Mark Porterie is not afraid to call the fashion police.
Porterie told 12News the district has always had a dress code adopted by the school board, but he admits it's not always been properly enforced. But with the upcoming school year less than two weeks away, Porterie is making sure parents and students know what kids can and cannot wear to class.
He's focused on two clothing items that he believes jeopardize safety. Those items are hoodies and cargo pants or cargo shorts.
Porterie says hoodies prevent school officials from identifying students' faces on surveillance cameras if there is an incident, and he acknowledges the Trayvon Martin case has heightened concerns about hoodies.
"You have students, even though they're innocent, because they have hoodies on, they're saying they maybe doing something," said Porterie.
As for cargo pants or cargo shorts, Porterie said the big pockets can be used to hide dangerous items.
Student athletes will also not be allowed to wear team hoodies during class.
Porterie says he's in talks with vendors who might be able to offer parents and students alternative jackets and caps at affordable prices.
Dr. Porterie is also hosting a public meeting for parents and the community 9 a.m. Thursday in the administration building on 9th Avenue. He said the dress code, safety and other school issues will be up for discussion.

This thread kind of parallels other threads in a way but with one major caveat. I have a theory as to why this team has looked like garbage through the preseason into first game. Granted its not the only reason but I think it plays a big part. We've already talked about it to a certain extent but I'm taking it a bit deeper. Here it is.
What do the following have in common:?
Leslie Frazier
Allan Williams
Bill Musgrave
Christian Ponder
Answer: passiveness and stoic in personality type
This is a fact and cannot be disputed.
So what's the problem with that you ask, it's spreading!
They might be different people off the field so I can't speak to that but on the field that's exactly what they are. They all have the look of the Easter Island Moai monoliths.
Allow me to expand.
Jared Allen: used to have a nasty side to him and last year seemed to have lost it. Yes I know he was hurt so not taking that from him. I forget which game it was but he was getting manhandled the whole game and he got bloodied by a hand under the mask on a play if I recall correctly. I think it was the very next play he was pissed off and he got a sack. You could just see he was pissed and fired up. Coincidence? Maybe but I doubt it. Where is that steely fire? It appears to be missing.
Matt Kalil: throughout preseason and into this game he has looked disinterested and bored. His play seems to reflect this. What happened to that fire of last year? All of the sudden he can't be dominant? I don't think so. The passiveness cancer is spreading.
We had one guy on our roster that was a lightning bolt of aggressive energy and he's gone this year. Yep, Percy Harvin. I don't agree with how he showed it at times especially with the head coach, but he had steel and people react to that.
I've seen exactly two people on this team get fired up and try to motivate players between all of the preseason and the Lions game. Mike Priefer and Matt Cassell. That's it. I've seen nobody else get fired up and lay into players trying to motivate them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Matt is the answer at quarterback as I don't think he is. I'm just saying from a psychological standpoint I think he's needed right now. I watched him walk down the bench and slap guys on the pads trying to boost the energy level. That is a good sign. Ponder? He's either moping sitting on the bench or playing grab ass with somebody all smiles. Either way from a leadership standpoint, unacceptable. He's not leader material and the team knows it.
We have been sliding into a apathetic malaise for some time and its getting worse. There are far too many people in the leadership and coaching billets with the same passive personality. I'm afraid this team needs the psychological equivalent of a slap across the face.
I don't speak from a position of ignorance. I was a sergeant in the corps and I know some things about leading men. At one point I was in charge of 41 of them. I can tell you this, motivation is contagious and so is a lack there of. I've seen it and lived it first hand. One can make the argument that the military is different because you have no choice, which is true but the psychological precepts are the same. The human mind works the same. I've seen men so pumped up you could virtually smell adrenaline, and I've seen men so distraught you could be blind and see its effects.
I have witnessed many times what can happen when guys start to slip into a malaise. It's not good as it eventually will bring them all down. I've also seen what the fire from one guy can do to an entire platoon. It's actually quite fascinating looking back on it.
This team has no fire in the leadership positions. If it was up to me I would start Cassell and make Mike Priefer the interim head coach if this quagmire continues, because its going to quickly turn into a death spiral.
Christian is not a leader and has no business leading this team. That's a fact. You can see it in his eyes, he's timid and he is unsure of himself.
The best thing Leslie could do is walk over to Ponder when we're losing and Ponder is sitting on the bench moping and slap the damn Gatorade out of his hands. He wouldn't even need to say anything, just observe how Ponder reacts from the shock. I suspect he would not pass the test.
That's my theory and what I see mixed with experience. Take it for what it's worth.

Stay away from Jay Cutler this week if you can. The Cowboys have the second best defense against the pass this season. And Cutler has the second worst QB rating in the NFL. He should get it going eventually, but not this week.
Stay away from the Bears running backs also. There's too much uncertainty there with Forte's ankle injury. He is expected to try to play, but how much and how effective will he be? And if he does play...that'll take minutes and carries away from Michael Bush.
What to do about Brandon Marshall. I'd lean toward playing him this week. He's too good to hold down for three straight weeks. Plus he has a history of rising to the occassion in big games, and Monday night football is always a big game. Play Marshall but only as a secondary receiver or a flex.
You've got to love what the Bears defense has done this season. They're forcing turnovers and racking up sacks. Meanwhile the Cowboys are minus three on the season in turnovers, and last week Tony Romo was sacked by the Buccaneers four times.. Play the Bears defense, and if your league has an IDP, Julius Peppers would be a good play this week.
For all those reasons I just mentioned, I'm not big on Romo Monday if he's on your fantasy team. It could be a long night for him with the Cowboys protection issues and the Bears strong defense
That's it for this week. Good luck!

Organizations such as The Wilderness Society, Izaak Walton League of America, American Bison Society, American Rivers, and American Farmland Trust have designated the Denver Public Library as the official repository for their records. The Collection also includes the papers of individuals, including letters, memos, and writings of prominent preservationists, such as Aldo Leopold, Olaus Murie, Ira Gabrielson and Howard Zahniser. Other papers include those of such environmentalists as Arthur Carhart, Enos Mills, William Vogt, Wild Horse Annie (Velma Johnston), Charles Lathrop Pack, George Laycock, and Lois Crisler.
The collection was established in 1960 out of the private holdings of conservationist Arthur H. Carhart. He was the first landscape architect/recreational engineer hired by the U.S. Forest Service (Denver District, 1919), a writer of environmentally-themed pulp fiction novels, a writer of serious books and articles on forest health and management, and forever and always, an activist. Throughout his life, Carhart created a wide network of environmental compatriots, and it was the works of these activists, as well as his own, that served as the seed of today's Conservation Collection.
The Denver Public Library continues to acquire conservation materials. Other important acquisitions include: Hal Harrison's ornithological field notes and nature articles, the records of the Colorado Environmental Coalition, the records of the Alaska Coalition, and the papers of Harry Crandell, John F. Seiberling, Albert Henson and others who were notable actors in the passage and implementation of the Alaska Lands Act.
The book Collecting Nature: The American Environmental Movement and The Conservation Library by Andrew Kirk tells the history of this valued collection.
The Conservation Collection is now a nationally recognized research center for environmental history. Many writers use the archive in the creation of valuable books on the American environment. Some examples are:
Here are our online Archives Finding Aids.
Here is a complete list of the Library's Conservation Archives.

text: Apparently, even thieves have Champagne tastes. More than three and a half thousand bottles of Champagne worth €3OO,OOO (US $388,OOO) have been stolen from acclaimed grower Jacques Selosse in an extremely well-organized heist. The Avize-based domain lost well over 5% of its average annual production in the raid. Stolen bottles included the Initial cuvee, a blend of three vintages of Chardonnay, and Exquise, a Demi-Sec, each of which cost €57 (US $74) per bottle. The top-of-the-line Substance Blanc de Blanc, made from multiple vintages, at €112 (US $145), was also among the stolen bottles that had been packaged into palettes for a shipment scheduled to leave for the US and Japan. Of equal concern to the domain was the theft of some 16,OOO labels and 12,OOO neck labels, which could lead to the production of counterfeit bottles. Domaine Jacques Selosse produces some 57,OOO bottles of Champagne annually.

Last year, Steven Spielberg may have missed out for "War Horse," but this year his colleagues are making sure he's honored for his much better-received "Lincoln." The Director's Guild Award nominations have arrived this afternoon, two days before the Academy unveils their Oscar nominations, and generally speaking, they tend to be a good indicator of who will be honored next month at the Dolby Theater.
Joining Spielberg is a roster of names that are no big surprises. While still courting controversy, Kathryn Bigelow has been tipped for "Zero Dark Thirty," and though still a bit of an underdog in the conversation, Ang Lee has been honored for "Life Of Pi." Meanwhile, directors who both had big box office hits also get some love, with Ben Affleck honored for "Argo," and Tom Hooper (fisheye lens and all) rewarded for his adaptation of "Les Miserables." But perhaps just as notable are the names that are missing.
Perhaps the one many will be talking about is Quentin Tarantino, who was shut out for "Django Unchained." The film has done well both critically and commerically, but could the subject matter be scaring away his colleagues from voting? Also sitting out is David O. Russell for his hugely enjoyable "Silver Linings Playbook." Perhaps the ease with which he whipped together this oddball romantic comedy hid the skill in which he put it all together?
Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone the DGA missed? Let us know below. The winner will be announced sometime between the salad and creme bruleé on Saturday, February 2nd at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland. [IndieWire]

Obviously the DGA missed out on PTA and plenty of others, but I didn't exactly expect him to be nominated so it's no big surprise. Also, Hooper's direction on "Les Miz" is kind of awful.
sp | January 8, 2013 1:51 PM
Man, David O. Russell is going to be pissed. I expect him to have another brutal meltdown. Right now, I would hate to be Russell's agent. I still don't understand the love for Silver Linings Playbook- it is only okay.
Yoloz Muhrer | January 8, 2013 1:50 PM
I really thought PTA was getting a nom from the DGA. Guess now an Oscar for directing or picture ain't happening.
My prediction is Lincoln will be the big winner come oscar night.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Frustrated Marion County bar and tavern owners continue their fight to overturn the
smoking ban, which went into effect July 1 of last year.
A lawsuit was filed in Federal Court in May. A hearing was held in October. And while you haven't heard much about it since then,
the owners are still fighting, both to stay in business and stop the law.
The "open" sign is still on at the Catilina Tavern on East Washington Street - but barely.
"It's really really bad. I'm telling you, we're just squeaking by," says owner Joe Wilson.
For 30 years, Wilson made a living at the Cantina. The Marion County smoking ban he says changed his business dramatically. Now he keeps the doors open only so his employees will have a place to work.
"If I didn't own the building I'd be sunk you know," says Wilson.
And Wilson points out, some area bars, as many as seven say local owners, have closed since the smoking ban began officially July 1. And he says, a hope for a quick ruling in a federal lawsuit filed by a couple of dozen owners hasn't happened.
"We were expecting an answer sometime the last of October 1 of November and here it is March and we still don't have no answer." says Wilson.
The owners have not given up. They've formed the Indy Tavern League and they meet every other week.
"Tavern owners are organizing to try and stick up for our own rights, and protect the rights of small business," says Steve Neal, President of the Indy Tavern League and owner of Hary C's.
But as they've found out, fighting city hall, no matter how it's done, takes time.
"The big places. The chain operated jobs, they're going to do great. But, the little neighborhood places is the one's that's going to suffer," says Joe Wilson.
And still no ruling on the lawsuit. The last court action was in December, and that was written briefs filed by both sides with the judge. The tavern owners remain hopeful they can win. But if they don't, they are already talking about a plan to appeal.

Starbucks met with opposition in Nottingham, full report
There's opposition to the site of a new Starbucks close to Nottingham railway station. Local independent shop owners say they'll struggle to compete if the large chains keep expanding across the city.
But the local chamber of commerce says all development is good and it's important that big companies invest in our cities. Lee Comley reports.

"My old septon used to say that books are dead men talking. Dead men should keep quiet is what I say. No one wants to hear a dead man's yabber." - ADWD, Jon II
"Bad enough when the dead come walking, now the Old Bear wants them talking as well? No good will come of that, I'll warrant. And who's to say bones wouldn't lie? Why should death make a man truthful, or even clever? The dead are likely dull fellows, full of tedious complaints - the ground's too cold, my gravestone should be larger, why does he get more worms than I do..." - ACOK, Jon II

Plugging the gap in the rental market
Date: 17. December 2010
Louisa Darian and
We may be out of recession but the housing market story continues to be one of doom and gloom. House prices continue to fall, the mortgage market continues to contract. While even deposit ready first-time buyers are struggling, the situation is exponentially worse for low-to-middle earners. With just 2 per cent of mortgages available at over 90% loan-to-value and no indication that the market will recover anytime soon, many low-to-middle earners are bracing themselves for a lifetime of renting: analysis in our recent audit found that, in today's mortgage market a low-to-middle earner buying their first home would need to save 5 per cent of their net household income for 45 years to obtain a deposit.
The question, then, is whether the private rental sector (PRS) will expand to meet this need. It did in the mid 90s and 2000s, assisted by the boom of buy-to-let landlords. But the situation we face today is different: demand for private rental is likely to increase at a faster rate than it has, with Savills and the Building and Social Housing Foundation forecasting that the PRS will grow from just 13 to 20 per cent of the stock by 2020. And faced with a constrained credit market, buy-to-let landlords are unlikely to fill the gap in the same way they have in the past.

For those of you in need of some light games over the Christmas break, Shacknews is reporting that Double Fine's Kinect Party, the sequel to Happy Action Theatre, is coming to Xbox next week. The good news is that the game will actually be free on launch through to December 31st, a somewhat hopeful jab at Microsoft wanting you to use your Kinect for Christmas parties.
Major Nelson has the upcoming Xbox Live Marketplace report revealing the free period, however oddly there is no listing on what the price will be for Kinect Party after the free launch, but being a sequel to Happy Action Theatre it will probably be around $10.
Kinect Party will be available from 18th December and you can check out the launch trailer below which showcases just what you'll be able to do.

Rashad Evans Interview UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Interview with Rasahd 9 days after he wins the UFC title defeating Forrest Griffin Written by Penny Buffington Undefeated UFC fighter, Rashad Evans finished the year with a record of 13 wins no losses and 1 draw. He also dominated Forrest Griffin at UFC 92 on Dec 27th 2008 to become the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. I asked Rashad what happens as soon as you become the champ. He said, "They rush you off to a press conference. Then after that you get rushed to your after party and then you try to get some rest. But first, party all night." Since winning the title Rashad has been very busy with press obligations. Where he was born in Buffalo N.Y, they gave him the key to the city and their local newspaper The Niagara Gazette chose Rashad as the athlete of the year. Rashad said, "That was quite surprising to be honest. I didn't expect any of that. To have my home town: it was a beautiful thing. Just because in Niagara Falls sometimes you don't get the recognition you think you should get. I never really paid too much attention because my mom would be like the Niagara Falls Gazette doesn't have anything about you fighting. I don't know if it was because I moved to Michigan or whatever the case may be but they weren't really following me to well and to have that finally from them to be: you're the athlete of the year. That was pretty cool I liked that. The fight was 2 days after Christmas so I asked Rashad if he had, had a chance to celebrate the holidays yet. "Not really to be honest. I'm just getting back to my family and the domestic issues. I'm trying to take care of them because they supported me for the whole training and preparation for the fight. They gave me the space and time I needed to focus so I'm just trying to give some time to them so I can do it again in a few months. " Like any fighter with a family there is great sacrifice and separation. Rashad lives in Michigan yet he trains down in Albuquerque, New Mexico at Jacksons Mixed Martial Arts. I asked him if he packs up the family and takes them with him when he goes. "Yeah I do. Sometimes I will have them come out for a little bit. But to be at my best you have to be kind of selfish. To be selfish around your family is a really hard thing. Your child doesn't understand you have a fight coming up, you know, he wants to play with you. He doesn't want to see you sleep during the day because he wants to play and your wife she wants attention too. They don't understand those things and it's not for them to understand when you are with them your role with them is totally different. You're not a fighter, you're a husband and you're a dad, and you have to fulfill that role. That can be exhausting to do when you are training for a fight and everything is about being in tune to you, being in tune with your body. How is your body feeling? How sore are you? Is everything ok? And to be selfish comes with being a fighter and does not go hand in hand with trying not to be selfish when trying to fulfill those other rolls." Rashad says before a fight he likes to train for an 8 week period. He explains, "I like to do an 8 week camp. Not because it takes 8 weeks, but because sometimes when you are in camp you may have a week or so where you get hurt or injured. Then, you know, you may need a little time to rest up and get your body ready. My camp always presents new obstacles for me. I've never had a camp where I wasn't banged up at least a little bit where I needed to take a few days off. So having an 8 week camp allows me to not worry if I have a couple days off. It makes it so I don't have to push it when I get a bruise or something that needs a couple of days to heal. When you do a 6 week camp, when you get a bump or bruise, you try to push through it. Sometimes that is not the best thing to do when you have got an injury." Where does Rasahd work out when he isn't at Greg Jackson camp? "We have this hole in the wall little gym, that myself and this guy, Matt Torres, who got me into fighting, we fight at. It is just about a handful of people, 5 or 6 people: we just go in there and train. We are not trying to make any money, just a place where we can go and bang each other up." 29 year old Evans has a degree in psychology. I asked him if it helps him with the sport. "It helps me a lot. It helps me more or less, it sounds crazy enough, just to try and deal with me. Sometimes I'm actually a little lost. I'm a little insecure. My mind starts playing tricks on you when you have so much pressure on you. You have a big fight coming up, different thing, where you really have to be able to talk yourself into a good mental state. It also helps me play little games on people and stuff like that too. You know kind of mess with them a little bit." Rashad found a way to have confidence in himself before his fight against former champion Forrest. "I was feeling really confident. The confidence comes with being comfortable with the fact that how the fight may go no matter what. You know, I may go in there and have the best fight of my life. But I also may have the worst one. I can go in there and get knocked out. Or get beat to a pulp. That can happen. But once you are comfortable with that and that is a hard thing to get comfortable with. But once you get comfortable to really, really sit and think about it. Then you kind of free yourself to be confident and say whatever happen, happens. Because you can live with yourself either way and you try to go in there and you try to perform to the best of our abilities. If you win that is excellent. That is how you visualized it. But if you don't, then you have got to go and work on things that make you better." I reminded Rashad though he has been holding the belt for a mere 9 days the line has already started to form for those who want to take it from him. I mentioned Forrest, Rampage and Chuck Liddell told the Sun Sentinel, "He has got the belt and I'll take it." Rashad's reply was, "I think that is exactly how he is supposed to feel. I like that fact that he wants to take the belt. Because that is what is going to keep me up at night, when I feel like going to sleep early. That is going to make me hop on that elliptical and buff out a little. Because I know they are on my heals. They want to be the one to beat me and give me my first lose and take the belt! They want me. It kind of makes me a little paranoid, but at the same time, I like paranoia." The interview ended with Rashad giving thanks. "I would like to thank the fans that support me because being a Rashad Evans fan is NOT an easy thing. Sometimes it may cause you to have an argument or a fight. I appreciate my fans for sticking with me and believing in me. Thank everybody else just for watching MMA and making the sport what it is today without them I wouldn't be anything."

Schoolhouse Rocks!
I had my amazing (and admittedly rather unorthodox) bachelor party in this fantastic and fun-filled house; a spectacular weekend with 15.5 of my closest friends, by the end of which the house itself felt like another new friend with just as much to contribute to the experience. It's got character, is what I'm trying to say. It's also got plenty of history, and, I'm sure, more secrets and surprises than we uncovered during our brief stay. And it's got the most impressive vinyl collection I've ever encountered. Each of the four massive, intriguingly multi-purpose rooms – the former classrooms – is simultaneously a living room, bedroom and something else besides (kitchen; music studio; pool room), and each one is full of curious objects and artifacts, including some nifty old educational posters. The 4th-5th grade classroom (with the kitchen and the killer record collection), where we spent most of our time, also features aerial fabrics (!) and a majestic "levitating" loft bed. (There's also one smaller sleeping space, with two beds, which was perfect for the couple-with-toddler in our party who needed some more privacy.) The various rooms in the house gave us the inspiration to stage a live-action game of Clue, but I guess that will have to wait until our next visit (or yours.) Nick is a very neat guy (he'd have to be, to have created a place like this) and was a great, helpful, friendly and accommodating host. Just a few negatives to note: the kitchen definitely leaves something to be desired if you're planning to do much cooking – the burners on the stove are finicky and needs to be lit each time you use them, and the oven is a "use at your own risk" proposition. The kitchen space is also pretty cramped and got extremely hot (on a late-June weekend, admittedly) in the process of making meals for our large group. Grilling and salads are probably good ways to go, especially if you're there in the summer. Finally – for better or worse: although the area affords some excellent opportunities for outdoor enjoyment, we were so wrapped up in enjoying the interior of the house that it was often a challenge to leave!
Complete Relaxation
My husband and I just returned from our stay at The Red House. If what you are looking for is a quiet place to get away from everything and relax in a beautiful mountain setting, then this is the place for you. The house was immaculate but still welcoming. The scenic views were amazing. We hadn't even made it home yet, and we were already planning our return! Tina, the owner, was so easy to work with, as well. I can't say enough about how great our stay was. We will definitely be back!!

OpenSolaris 2008.11 Details
Published on 30 July 2008 09:32 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Comment On This Article
Earlier this month we had provided a
first-look at OpenSolaris 2008.11
by using an early version that was based upon the
Solaris Express Community b93
code-base. Aside from the updated packages, there wasn't much to differentiate 2008.11 from the inaugural OpenSolaris 2008.05 (http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12269) release. However, a few more details are now available on what Sun hopes to accomplish with OpenSolaris 2008.11 due out this November.
Glynn Foster and other Sun representatives have been working on the "problem statement" for this next version of the OpenSolaris operating system. The statement in full can be read at
while below are a few points that had caught our attention.
- OpenSolaris 2008.11 will introduce a distribution constructor. The OpenSolaris Distribution Constructor sounds like it will be quite similar to Fedora's Revisor program for being able to "spin" a custom ISO of packages depending upon your needs. In the problem statement, a use-case for this program would be to create a derivative OpenSolaris operating system geared for a network storage appliance.
- OpenSolaris 2008.11 will have SPARC support. While Solaris and SPARC are closely bundled, OpenSolaris has only been supported on x86 and x86_64 architectures up until now. There will, however, not be a SPARC LiveCD using Project Caiman for this build.
- With the OpenSolaris Image Packaging System (or IPS for short) a number of improvements are planned. Among the areas are making it easier for a user to create their own IPS packages, generate an IPS repository, a GNOME applet for notifying the user when IPS network updates are available, and a web-based viewer for IPS repositories.
- An OpenSolaris 2008.11 goal is to support at least 50% of the currently supported wireless drivers should be able to support 802.11n WiFi. With that, there should be OpenSolaris network drivers for at least half of the top 10 popular (both wired and wireless) network devices.
- OpenSolaris 2008.11 will hopefully be updated to
and will ship with
Firefox 3.0
- GNOME will continue to be the default desktop environment for OpenSolaris, but Sun Microsystems is interested in having
) available as an alternate desktop that could be installed through IPS packages.
- A GUI for updating ZFS file-system snapshots as well as the ability to browse these archived snapshots and move them to a remote destination.
- A graphical interface to connect/disconnect to wired and wireless networks automatically and manually. This GUI would also facilitate the setting up of basic profiles for preferred networks. Note to Sun: Please just use NetworkManager!
- A typical developer stack should be available for installation from a network IPS repository (read: not on the CD). This includes the libraries and build utilities for C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Ruby, and Perl through GCC. For integrated development environments they are planning on Sun Studio, Netbeans, and Eclipse. DTrace should also be available.

Teacher nominated for epilepsy award
11:00am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
A COLCHESTER teacher who set up a website to help people deal with epilepsy has been nominated for a national award.
Sarah Capel, 32, founded the Epilepsy Literary Heritage Foundation, to make more people aware of the illness, which causes sufferers to have seizures.
Now she could be about to scoop the top award at the Young Epilepsy Champion Awards 2014, due to take place in March, after she was nominated for her website's success in making links between epilepsy and creativity.
Epileptic Miss Capel, who grew up in Colchester and taught English at the Colne Community School, in Brightlingsea before moving to Hong Kong last year, said: "We're trying to make people - with or without epilepsy - more aware of the link between epilepsy and literary creativity.
"We aim to give people with epilepsy and their families a reason to feel proud and, above all, not alone.
"So many people, both in the epilepsy community and outside it, are unaware of the epilepsy community's proud literary heritage."
On average, one child at every primary school and five children at every secondary school in the UK will have epilepsy.
The award winner be decided by a panel of experts.
To find out more about the foundation, go to epilepsyliteraryheritagefoundation.org.uk.

ore.com/ - unlike those who don't attend this teacher's class. But you know this person is not only a teacher, he is an educator the school has to be proud of. Therefore, I think that they could have increase the money award, of course. Maybe this way it will stimulate others to teach better…let's say in a more passionate way
