I just got the following news from the organization Jewish Voice for Peace:
"Let me cut down to the chase. We have just learned that a number of Israeli peace activists have had their computers confiscated, have been called for interrogations, and have only been released upon signing agreements not to contact their political friends for 30 days. We are asking you to contact the Israeli Attorney General to demand an immediate stop to this harassment.
The activists targeted are members of New Profile, a group of feminist women and men daring to suggest that Israel need not be a militarized society. They are being wrongfully accused of inciting young people–like the shministim–not to enlist in the army. The charge is not true. While New Profile does not tell youngsters not to enlist, they certainly support those who do not: pacifists, those who oppose the occupation, and others. New Profile informs them of their rights and gives them legal support when necessary. But Israel is a country that does not acknowledge the basic human right to conscientious objection.
The government's accusation against New Profile is not new. It has been out there for some time, as a source of harassment. Today's police actions tighten the screws considerably. We've seen how international pressure has helped get many shministim out of jail. Now it's time to put as much pressure so that Israeli peace activists can do their work free of intimidation.
I leave you with a note from New Profile: "These recent acts confirm what we have been contending for many years: the militarism of society in Israel harms the sacred principles of democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of political association. One who believed that until now criminal files were conjured up "only" for Arab citizens of Israel saw this morning that none of us can be certain that s/he can freely express an opinion concerning the failures of society and rule in Israel." "
You can find the full statement from New Profile here.
Government harassment of peace activists, as groups or individuals, is not new. I'm asking you- Znet members and friends- as an Israeli peace activist, to give me my voice back. If you want to help me, my friends and fellow occupation opposers, please go to the Jewish Voice for Peace petition page and sign the letter (it doesn't matter where you're from in the world- JVP is international).
Thank you,
Update (3/5/09): After the arrest, feminist groups got together to protest in front of the police station. It didn't take long for the police to become violent, push the crowd into the street, without bothering to stop the traffic, grab women by the hair and neck and drag elderly women into the station and detain them.
Just thought it would add sulfur into the fire if I mention that while dragging the elderly woman into the station, the 20-something year old police man has the audacity to preach to her as though she was a child: "You punched me in the back, you psycho! Tell me, are you insane?!"
The slogans before the police riot began (rhymes lost in translation):
- "Courageous feminist on her way to Neve Terze [woman's jail in Israel]"
- "I Don't shoot and don't give birth- call the cop car"
- "Scary feminist- call the police"
- "Won't kill and won't die in the service of Zionism"
- "yes yes to refusal no no to zionism"
- "Don't stand up for the siren- open up investigation"
- "We're all New Profile"
- "Call the cop car- I betray the country"
- "Attorney General- the real criminal"
- "Police state- take me to interrogation"
The slogans after the police riot began:
- "fascists!"
- "Cop! Courageous! Beating on protestors!"
- "What did I do?!"

UPDATE: The puppy in the custody of Columbus Animal Control has just been transferred to Animal Ark Rescue where it is no longer in danger of being euthanized and will be placed with a new family. Volunteers say she has a sweet personality despite being abused.
In less than 24 hours, police arrested Columbus residents in two separate parts of town for not taking care of their dogs. Both men spent the Thanksgiving holiday in jail.
A rescued Great Dane appears very skinny now, but the new owner says it has put on a lot of weight since the day it was removed from a home on 17th Ave. along with four other dogs that police said were also being neglected.
Savannah Weaver said her ex-boyfriend, Samuel Russell, 23, was upset about their break-up, so he kept her dogs hostage inside his house.
"I didn't want them over there after he wouldn't let me inside to see them. Then he said he was going to hang them, and that's what really upset me," said Weaver.
When police finally got inside the house, they said it appeared that Russell hadn't fed or cleaned up after the dogs in weeks. Weaver said there was evidence that the dogs took desperate measures to sustain themselves.
"The toilet seat was broken and pushed over and that's why they thought maybe they were trying to get water out of the toilet," said Weaver.
Russell is still in jail after his arrest last week. News Leader Nine visited the home on Wednesday, and found one of his friends trying to do some cleaning up. However, that person did not want to say anything in Russell's defense on camera.
In a separate incident that took place the next day in Columbus, police arrived at the 5th Ave. home of James Lawrence, 41, to investigate a possible break-in. Officers found no signs of burglary, but they did notice a small brown dog chained to a tree with no shelter in 28 degree weather. Police say the dog was so hungry, it was eating its own excrement to stay alive.
Lawrence has since been released from jail, and News Leader Nine caught up with him. We asked him about the allegation that he left his puppy in the freezing cold and he had no food in the house.
"Okay well, it wasn't left outside like that" said Lawrence. "I didn't want the dog to poo on the floor or pee on the floor. You know what I'm saying? I was feeding the dog. My sister, she was helping me feed the dog. And my brother-in-law, all of them were feeding the dog."
But despite all of these different people feeding a little puppy, you can still see its ribs and backbone nearly a week after animal control seized it from the house. On Wednesday, it was still in their custody, living in a cage. Its health is being evaluated by experts.
That puppy is now available for adoption. As for the five dogs taken from the house on 17th Avenue, they all have new homes and are slowly returning to normal weight.

Men's Varsity 8 completes first day at San Diego Crew Classic
Related Links
With the first day of racing in the books on the West Coast, the Men's Varsity 8 will compete in the Petite Final as JU men's rowing made more history by racing in the 38th annual San Diego Crew Classic, Saturday at Crown Point Shores on Mission Bay.
One of the premier spring regattas on the West Coast, the San Diego Crew Classic will features nearly 4,000 athletes from over 100 clubs, universities and colleges from across the United States, Canada and Mexico. For JU, the day marked the first time a Dolphin boat raced on the West Coast after receiving an invitation to compete.
"I thought we raced a great 1700 meters of the 2000 meter race course," said JU head coach Jim Mitchell. "But we had a little hiccup in our sprint and it was just enough to let the other crews walk on us. At this point of the season, we are going to call it a learning experience and see how the guys react. We still have a tough race tomorrow to prepare for, and hopefully, we can see some improvements."
The Varsity 8 with coxswain Thomas Richards, Dylan Kosten, Richard Kelly, Scott DelVecchio, Brian Cosmillo, Greg VanOekel, Andy Davis, Brad Miller and Kevin Friedlander placed fourth with a time of 6:03.75 behind Stanford (5:56.0), Temple (6:01.11) and UC San Diego (6:01.57) but ahead of Northeastern (6:06.36).
The squad will compete in the Petite Final against Bucknell and Northeastern at 8:50 a.m. PT.
Race results can be found at crewclassic.org.

The ship was one of the best we have sailed on.Beautiful and not too big. 1230 passengers or around that figure. People of many nationalities on board, and all announcements in English. Public announcements were kept to a minimum.
Reviews previously have not been too happy with the entertainment, but we found it to be a very good mixture and suited us very well. Excellent viewing in the Riviera Lounge. The staff were very professional in all departments.
We particularly liked the library, and Baristas coffee area. We were aware before we embarked that excursions were expensive, but as we had visited most of the destinations previously, we were happy to do our own thing. Drinks priced, especialy wines were on the high priced side, but the $300 dollars on board credit more than covered the 18% service charge
Sharing a table in the restaurants for dinner gave us a chance to meet some really interesting guests. The choice to have a table for two was always available. Food is the Riviera's strength and the choices were superb. I could not pick a favourite dining venue, they were all brilliant!

This collection documents the initial interest I have had in deriving beauty from ugliness and disorder. It first started in 1972, when I told myself that there was beauty in puddles and that I should photograph it. Soon after, following such thinking, I did small paintings using very muddy colors, limiting myself to just one brilliant color--a standard upon which to reflect and compare. I never stopped this line of thinking, so that now I can find beauty just about anywhere, even in the most unappetizing of places. Photographing gives me the opportunity of producing much more work than I could with a brush and paint. I have been photographing trash since 2009. Every beautiful art work I have ever loved helped me to select the trash photographs you'll see. I am indebted to so many great artists. I continue this interest almost daily and I don't see how I could ever stop it.

The number of diagnoses of people using ADD and ADHD has risen sharply in the past several a long time, likely due to a number of aspects from doctors better comprehending diagnoses, to technology actively playing a role in breaking people's focus and abilities, to the simple fact that it could be over diagnosed in several circles and due to some troubles.
A person diagnosed with Add and adhd doesn't necessarily mean that he or she has symptoms of hyperactivity. Some others may present some and there are some others that will not. One might baffled as to which is which and in order to achieve that we must first distinguish the one from the other. But before we're able to do that we must answer this issue first - what is Include?
The diagnosis surrounding Create and ADHD can be complicated, as right now there are not a set and specific amount regarding guidelines or side effects that one could observe medically and diagnose together with blood tests, or other conclusive scientific tests. As a result, there is not really a set consensus on what makes up ADD and ADHD for a large amount of medical doctors, and with it, diagnoses can come from around the world and can rapidly and regularly change relative to the doctor diagnosing the issue.
Kids with this condition also show the same signs. It can be the reason why they're battling in class or don't get along very well with his or her classmates. And instead of being understood, they sometimes end up getting berated, saying that they're just lazy to listen. And sometimes, these symptoms go unnoticed right up until they become adults.
Hyperactivity on the other hand, refers to condition wherein a person becomes physically active beyond normal indicates - hence the word "hyper" : that it often results in generating involuntary actions like fidgeting, and so forth. This is highly common for very young children, but in some, hyperactivity hits frequently and more severely.
1. Predominantly Inattentive Type
This is typically referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder, since have the same symptoms, like becoming forgetful or being inattentive and the like.
2. Predominantly Hyperactive - Impulsive Type
Adults and kids classified under this tend to be hyperactive, energetic but less inattentive. They move around too much, can't seem to stay in 1 place and are always fidgety. They don't want to stay in one position at a time and gets bored easily. Added to that, they also can not keep something in and ends up mesmerizing others due to their impulsiveness.
3. Combined Type
They tend to produce the symptoms of the two aforementioned above.
When studied a lot closer, we can get to see that does not everyone with Attention Deficit Disorder also has hyperactivity. That also goes to declare otherwise. Each has its own various symptoms and also ways of dealing with or at the least lessen the destruction it causes at a person's life. Now that we have learned exactly what is ADD - and its distinction between hyperactivity - we can reach understand them a little better.
It can be difficult to determine if your kid is actually hyperactive or if you simply have a normal everyday rambunctious kid. Most kids under the age of 12 are considered to get pretty high energy levels naturally. So it can be relatively difficult to determine the difference. It is crucial however to determine the real reasons behind your child's behavior.
It could rather be that your child is not as able to following your instructions as you might think. It could at the very least explain any of the explanations why your child behaves so inappropriately. If you suspect that your child is hyper there are some things that you can do to ascertain just how likely this outcome could be. Only a detailed understanding of your youngster and how they navigate through their findings will help you to find an appropriate analysis.

The new paper is the first one to show that sleep problems occur before hyperactive conduct, and that one predicts another -- which may help strengthen the sleep-behavior theory. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that causes difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, and energetic behavior. The studies, published today in the particular journal Pediatrics, can resonate with mother and father of the more than Five million American kids who currently contain the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or even ADHD.
This extra support can be given in the actual classroom or in a "resource" area setting. Dr Gupta said "Parents need to realize the importance of proper treatment as nowadays with the help of medication, improvement in a child has been observed within three months too.Inches More information for teachers of children with Attention deficit disorder is available through the Nationwide Resource Center on Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The children were drawn from the audience of 866 2- to 13-year-olds whoever parents were originally interviewed in the late The nineteen nineties, in the waiting areas of several community-based pediatrics hospitals. That, in turn, may result in attention problems the next day.
This suggest that inattention, adhd, and impulsivity may reflect front lobe dysfunction, with inclusion brain regions such as the cerebellum also being implicated. Other mental faculties systems related to attention have been found to vary between people with and without ADHD. Working with one or several health and mental health care practitioners, adults with ADHD can learn to handle symptoms as they are depicted in their lives. The rise coincided with the League's 2006 bar on stimulants which has raised concern that a few players are mimicking the symptoms of ADHD to have around the ban on the use of stimulants in sport. The real reason for this may be due to an changed reward pathway in the actual brains of Add and adhd individuals. This makes the assessment and treatment of ADHD more difficult, with serious substance misuse problems usually treated first due to their greater risks.
Diagram of the mind Children with the poor attention subtype are less likely to act out or have issues getting along with other kids. The Substance Abuse and Mind Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), continued the actual work of the Commission if it published, Transforming Psychological Health Care in America, National Action Agenda: Steps in 2005. Children that snore tend to credit score worse on tests regarding attention, language expertise, and overall intelligence.

On Monday, Alex Anthopoulos added Dioner Navarro as his new starting catcher. On Tuesday, Anthopoulos grabbed Kratz as his new backup.

Vikes QB Problem
OK, we got Culpepper who I think most people agree won't be the starter this coming season. Possibly he will be able to move to that position by mid-season but realistically he won't be the QB he once was until 2007.
Then we got Brad Johnson who did a great backup job this season but is getting a bit older each year and who wants to be a starter (which he could be for the Vikes at the beginning of the year) but he's great trade material.
After that we got zilch. So what do we do in the off-season or for that matter who do we start next fall? Do we start Johnson, (the logical thought) and pray he doesn't get injured? Do we look for a FA? But then who would come in here knowing they would play behind Johnson and if he doesn't get hurt would not play when Culpepper rehabs fully?
Do we want to use a top draft pick on a QB of the future with the thought that maybe Culpepper may never return to form?
I'd like to hear your serious thoughts on this.
Myself, I think we should look for a good QB, (not Young or Lienart) but maybe a good one that we can get somewhere down a bit in the first round. As I recall, we got three first round picks don't we? I know many won't agree with this because they are enamored by Culpepper and their hopes and dreams of his return. But I think we have to plan for a "what if."Kentucky Vikes Fan

Re: Vikes QB Problem
I would simply tell Johnson there is no guarantee he is starting. Depending on where Culpepper is depends on how much Brad will play.
If Brad wants a trade I go to FA and sign Kitna.
If he wants to stay and show Culpepper up again then we have no QB problem.
Re: Vikes QB Problem
I feel we should pick one up in the draft as insurance, then again im not a huge culpepper fan
Re: Vikes QB Problem
Good take, Del!
I, for one, don't want us to use our earlier draft picks on a QB (RB and LB are much higher priorities, unless we address those positions in FA). I am sure that if Brad can find a place where he could start (Jets? Fins? Raidahs?), then he should make it happen...otherwise, he should just plan on being the starter at the beginning of the season here (if Daunte is not ready yet, which is a distinct possibility).BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE

Re: Vikes QB Problem
I'm guessing that Childress will pick up an older veteran QB if BJ walks. Someone to tide the Vikes over until Culpepper is back in the saddle.

Re: Vikes QB Problem
Agreed. If BJ asks for a trade we should look for a veteran QB in the FA. We have more important needs in the draft. As far as FA QBs go, I think Cincin will try to keep Kitna now that they have their own QB knee problems, but we could probably get a veteran QB who will be willing to take a back seat to Dante.
I don't think BJ will leave though. He is a smart man, and he knows that even as the backup he will likely be starting the first quarter of the season. And if DC cannot recover from his knee injury as fast as we all hope, then BJ may actually get the job (Childress said the DC was the starter WHEN HE GETS HEALTHY). He has made his wish to be the starter known, and that is all he has to do right now.Zeus wrote:

Why does Brad have such a ego now? He was all fine with being a back up here and now that he went out and won us some games he wants to start or nothing else? Correct me if im wrong.

Deaf bricklayer Jack Sturdy speaks of health-care snubs
9:35am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News By Kate Liptrot
A DEAF man from York has told how he has struggled to get fair access to health care in the city.
Jack Sturdy, 27, who works as a bricklayer, said he had been left waiting for appointments after not hearing his name called without a visual indicator.
He has to take his fiancée or mother to appointments due to a lack of available sign language interpreters.
Once, his mother said it was suggested he should wear a bright anorak to his GP surgery so staff would know he was deaf.
Jack spoke out after Healthwatch York revealed a catalogue of failures to give deaf people fair access to health care in York, as reported in The Press.
Speaking about his missed appointments at the ear, nose And throat department at York Hospital, Jack said: "I've always watched out for them and tried to lipread when they called out, but they talk too fast so I miss it or they had their papers covering their mouth.
"They always go away as quickly as they came in, with or without patients.
"I had to ask my mum to come with me to every appointment so she can tap me to tell me I'm ready to go in. I'm not happy because I feel that I'm old enough to be independent."
Jack, who attended St John's School For The Deaf in Boston Spa and York College, said one doctor spoke to his fiancée, Charlotte, who is also deaf but can hear with the aid of an implanted hearing aid, as if he was not in the room.
He said since Charlotte is not a trained British Sign Language interpreter she can struggle to translate medical terms.
Loreto Sturdy, Jack's mum, said the treatment was "totally unacceptable".
She said: "We're are not asking everyone to sign but we need the staff to be more deaf-aware."
A spokeswoman for Haxby Group, which runs Haxby and Wigginton GP surgery, attended by Jack, said it was sorry to hear about the concerns but had no record of a complaint.
She said: "Once we are aware a patient suffers from hearing loss, their records have the appropriate advice added.
"All our patients are collected by their doctor or nurse personally from the waiting room and escorted to the clinic room. "The note that the patient is deaf ensures that our staff know they will have to approach the patient and not just call them. We do not use an automatic patient call system."
They said the surgery used an online system, giving access to sign language interpreters.
A spokeswoman for York Hospital said British Sign Language was its most widely provided translation service and its protocol was to provide a qualified interpreter for patients who needed one.
She said over the past year it had staff dedicated to monitoring and improving interpretation services and the hospital had formed an Access To Services group to look at accessibility.

It only takes a few seconds for a tornado to destroy a house.
Monster tornadoes like the one in Oklahoma may not be survivable, but most twisters and straight-line winds are.
• You need a personal plan, starting with a safe place. Go to and underground shelter, basement or safe room when you are told to. Don't go outside and don't look around or take pictures.
• If the above is not available, move to a small, windowless interior room or hallway on the lowest level.
• Abandon mobile homes and go to the nearest sturdy building or shelter immediately.
• Most injuries and deaths come from flying debris. If you have a pillow, be sure to grab it to protect your head.
• If storms are expected, secure outside objects like patio furniture early in the day so they don't become dangerous projectiles.
• If you are caught outdoor, sand a basement or sturdy building is unavailable.
• Immediately get into vehicle, buckle your seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter.
• If flying debris occurs while you are driving, pull over and park. Now you have the following options as a last resort.
• Stay in your vehicle with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows, covering it with your hands and a blanket if possible.
• If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway, exit your car, and lie in that area, covering your head.
• Finally, have a family meeting place away from your home and because phone lines may be overloaded have a contact person out of the area to check in with.
There are tornado myths to avoid, like opening windows. It won't help and wastes precious time. Also, our tall buildings and Lake Michigan are not deterrents to tornadoes. The Chicago area hasn't had a tornado with destructive wind speeds like those in Oklahoma since 1990 in Plainfield and officials say we are at least 15 years overdue for a big twister.

This best of b-sides and outtakes is an absolute must have for Cult fans, not only for the three previously unavailable songs, but for the remastered quality of the tracks that you may be familar with (Love Trooper, Zap city etc). The liner notes are a very informative reference to the history of each track. This cd is hopefully just an appetizer for whats included in the forthcoming box set!!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
THIS SET IS A SAMPLING OF THE FULL 7 cd BOX SET RARE CULT WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF PRINT. FOR THOSE UNABLE TO LOCATE OR AFFORD THE EXPANDED SET THIS IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE. MANY OF THE TRACKS TAKEN FROM ELECTRIC ARE ORIGINAL VERSIONS WITH THE FLAVOR OF THE LOVE ALBUM-MORE ALTERNATIVE-LESS RAW. A MUST………..
"The Best of Rare Cult" is a compilation of tracks from the exhaustive "Rare Cult" boxed set, and much to the chagrin of someone like myself who ponied up the cash for the box, also includes five tracks not in the "Rare Cult" boxed set. I'm actually a bit shocked that Beggars' Banquet would have resorted to this sort of marketing ploy, but nonetheless, the set is what it is.
For the casual fan of the Cult, there's really not a whole lot here that's worthwhile– yeah, you get an early take of "Love Removal Machine" replete with overdubs galore, different (although in many cases subtlely) mixes of some early tracks like "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Go West", an acoustic version of "Edie (Ciao Baby)" and a couple leftovers, b-sides and so on that are really worth noting ("Zap City", "No. 13″), but really it's hard to judge this as critical.
If you've gotten all the albums and are looking for more, then this has more value– admittedly– the above mentioned material as well as some other leftovers, usually those that are glaringly in some camp or another (uber-goth "Little Face", melodrama monster "Bleeding Heart Graffitti") are probably of interest to deeper fans. And of course, if you're totally hardcore, five tracks here are not readily available elsewhere, so it's essential.
But truthfully, this one kind of stinks of marketing to me, and I always hate that. I'd give it 3.5 stars, but I'm always bothered by these sorts of compilations.
The Cult, from their Gothic beginnings of Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult, and then Love. Ya stop there and ya got what ya got here. This CD steers clear of the heavier side (Electric, Sonic Temple) and perfectly bridges the gap that as they explained in the liner notes, was too far to cross for hard core Love fans to get to Electric. As with Love Removal Machine, hell- this version with more of the Love sound is just as good and it's Metal brother on Electric to me! All the songs are catchy and very spiritual, as you would expect with any Cult CD. The sound quality is great, so you don't feel cheated as with some "rare cuts and live stuff" CD's. The material here is like having a brand spankin new Cult album, and it feels the same cuz radio Still won't touch the good stuff. Hell, I thought the Cult CD that came out in about 94 (the one with the black bull on it, or whatever that is) was amazing. It was heavy , it was alternative, and for some reason , you were lucky if you heard Coming Down maybe once a month anywhere , so be your own person, screw the mainstream trendy Ted's , and get this awesome CD.
During a recent trip to Kansas I got tired of the local radio stations in a hurry (like twenty minutes). With four more days before my return home I new I needed to find some new music for the rental car, fast.Despite being a huge Cult fan I had been leary of purchasing this compilation of "Rare" tunes. You know, the type of music that only the true diehard fan can truly appreciate. Being desperate I took a chance. Right from the opening drum beat of "Love Removal Machine" I had a feeling that I had made a good decision. I like this version better than the original. It has a live type intensity, but with a studio production quality. I kept waiting for the applause at the end. "Zap City" continues with the same live type urgency that has you leaning over to crank up the volume. What else can be said about "She Sells Sanctuary". A classic rock tune that is included here with "Long Version" in the sub-title. It's is similar enough to the album version to make it instantly recgonizable, but with enough variation to give it a subtle freshness. The lone applause at the end makes you feel as if you just sat in on a private session with the band. The acoustic version of "Edie" rounds out a four song set that alone would make this album worthwhile. While there are some songs of the variety that I was afraid the whole album might be made up of, there are more than enough quality songs to make this an often played addition to even the casual Cult fan's collection.

Undergraduate Program
Most physics students have an innate curiosity about nature, and they heavily utilize mathematics to describe nature. To serve a variety of career objectives and interests, the physics department offers five tracks leading to a baccalaureate degrees.
Graduate Program
The doctoral and masters program provides broad curricular instruction in classical and modern physics. The Ph.D. degree further requires intensive training in one of several specialty areas of the Physics Department faculty.
Degree Programs
- Track A (Research) is designed primarily for students preparing to do graduate study in physics and related fields or for students preparing to work professionally upon completion of the B. S. degree in various technical fields requiring the strongest preparation in physics.
- Track B (Professional) is designed for students who wish to create a specialized program of study which combines a strong foundation in physics with strong preparation in another field. Such other fields include engineering, medicine, computer science, business, and communications, to name a few.
- Track C (Education) is designed for students who are preparing to be high school physics teachers. This curriculum provides a solid foundation in both contemporary physics and in education pedagogy.
- Track D is a five-year, dual degree program in physics and electrical engineering. Students will receive a B.S. and B.S.E.E. upon graduation. Track D provides the highest level of preparation for both graduate school and positions in industry.
- Track E is a five-year Bachelor of Science in physics and Master of Business Administration dual degree program. After students have satisfactorily completed their undergraduate requirements, they complete 30 credit hours in the M.B.A. program.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Durrell Summers had 19 points and seven rebounds to lead Michigan State past ninth-seeded Northern Iowa, 59-52, in the Midwest Regional semifinals of the NCAA Tournament for a spot amongst the final eight.
Korie Lucious and Raymar Morgan hit consecutive jumpers to spark a defining 8-1 surge over the final 2:19 for the fifth-seeded Spartans (27-8), who have won seven of their last eight bouts held in the round of 16.
Lucious contributed 10 points, six boards, four assists and four steals, while Morgan came up with seven points for the victors, who advanced to Sunday's regional final against Tennessee. The Volunteers bounced second-seeded Ohio State from the tourney in the other semi earlier Friday.
Adam Koch scored 13 points and Kwadzo Ahelegbe added 12 for the Panthers (30-5), who hadn't won an NCAA Tournament game in 20 years prior to their run through to the round of 16.
Ali Farokhmanesh and Jordan Eglseder came away with nine points each, but Northern Iowa shot just 38.6 percent from the floor to fall short of notching a second stunner against a perennial tourney-tested program.
NIU had pulled off a second-round 69-67 shocker over top-seeded Kansas to set up its first-ever Sweet 16 appearance.

CWRU Joins National Pledge to Double Number of Students Who Study Abroad
Case Western Reserve University is pleased to join the Institute for International Education's (IIE) Generation Study Abroad Commitment initiative by pledging to more than double the number of CWRU undergraduate students who participate in study abroad experiences by 2019.
Read more.
Currently, only about 10% of undergraduate students in the U.S. study abroad. Realizing this national commitment would result in over 600,000 American university students studying abroad by the end of the decade. IIE is looking for at least 500 American universities to join the initiative with CWRU and has presently secured more than 150 university participants -- eight in Ohio.
In the 2011/2012 academic year, 24% of CWRU's undergraduate student population participated in a study abroad program. This is well above the national average; nonetheless, CWRU has pledged to increase this number to 50% and has outlined strategic efforts to reach this goal, including creating an endowment with a specific objective of awarding $100,000 in study abroad scholarships each year. In addition, the university is also reaching out more to individual departments, meeting with them to map out course plans that can show students how they can study abroad and still fulfill their major. Marketing efforts and collaboration with student groups have also been amplified. Molly Watkins, Executive Director for International Affairs, was interviewed by InsideHigherEducation and talks to the goals in more detail.
This commitment to more deeply incorporate study abroad into the culture of CWRU affects all levels of the university, from central administration to academic departments to individual students and alumni. Continuing to develop a culture of global citizenship is a priority for CWRU and departments and faculty members interested in developing this further are encouraged to contact Molly Watkins at the Center for International Affairs.

Hopes rise for A303 improvements following Department for Transport backing
8:00pm Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News
HOPES that drivers could get to the South-West quicker and help boost the regional economy were raised following Department for Transport backing for improvements to the A303/A358/A30 corridor.
DforT sources revealed they are "presenting a strong business case" to the Government to upgrade the route during a meeting with representatives of Somerset and other county councils and other groups last Friday.
They want the whole route improved "over time", but have earmarked three priority sections of the A303 they want implemented "at the earliest opportunity" – dualling the Sparkford-Ilchester section at a cost of £50million; small scale improvements between Ilminster and Honiton at £50million; and dualling the Chicklade Bottom to Mere section at £150million.
Cllr David Hall, deputy leader of Somerset County Council, said: "Improving the A303 corridor will bring considerable economic benefits to the South-West.
"We and our partners have long campaigned for these improvements and following the work we presented to Ministers last year I am really pleased that the DforT is now taking forward our case."

Well, that certainly helps too. It features a teeny pocket at the front, indigo-colored buttons and sits at the natural waist. A denim chambray color, it goes with just about everything.

CATEGORIES MoviesMoviefone's New Release Pick of the Week "Wreck-It Ralph" What It's About? Ralph, the bad-guy from a "Donkey Kong"-esque arcade game, grows tired of his villainous routine and escapes through the world of video games to prove that he can be a hero. See It Because: With cameos ranging from "Pac-Man" to "Street Fighter," this inventive comedy may do for video games what "Toy Story" did for toys. It was also nice to see one of our most gifted character actors, John C. Reilly, anchoring a film on his own.
New on DVD & Blu-ray "The Bay" What It's About? Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson dips his toes into the "found footage" horror market with the genuinely terrifying tale of a coastal town that is slaughtered by ecological nightmares from the water. This mash-up of "Jaws" and "Contagion" features some of the most ingenious use of the "fake documentary" techniques and will send a shiver down your spine if you're concerned at all about the effects of oceanic pollution. See It or Skip It: See it.
"The Intouchables" What It's About? An African immigrant becomes the caretaker for a cranky quadriplegic in this uplifting French comedy that's well-acted, but way too sugary and sappy. See It or Skip It: Skip it.
"Lay the Favorite" What It's About? Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Vince Vaughn co-star in a gambling comedy that's just... there. See It or Skip It: Skip it.
"Playing for Keeps" What It's About? Gerard Butler stars in another romantic comedy devoid of charm, passion, and chemistry. See It or Skip It: Skip it.
"Red Dawn" What It's About? This deathly serious remake of one of the cheesiest, most implausible pieces of '80s Soviet fear mongering is by-the-numbers predictable. See It or Skip It: Skip it.

Western blotting, the transfer of proteins to solid-phase membrane supports, is a powerful and popular technique for the visualization and identification of proteins. After separation by electrophoresis, proteins can be bound to membranes where they are fixed and readily accessible for immunological or biochemical analyses, quantitative staining, or the identification of protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions. This section provides an overview of the methods and workflow of western blotting using Bio-Rad's V3 Western Workflow for faster separation, transfer, and analysis of proteins.
Bio-Rad offers TGX™ (Tris/glycine extended) and TGX Stain-Free™ precast gels for protein electrophoresis. The unique TGX gel formulation enables rapid separation of proteins at a high voltage while retaining Laemmli-like separation characteristics using standard sample and Tris/glycine running buffers. Typical sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) conditions for midi gels are 200 V for 30–45 minutes. By comparison, complete electrophoretic separation can be performed at 300 V in 20 minutes with midi-format TGX gels.
SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie staining is a standard, widely used method to visualize and confirm protein separation in the gel. However, this involves time-consuming staining and destaining procedures. Another common method is the use of prestained standards, which does not give a complete picture of protein separation.
TGX Stain-Free precast gels contain unique compounds formulated into the gel chemistry that allow immediate visualization of proteins across the whole gel without staining. This stain-free technology is exclusive to Bio-Rad and is based on proprietary trihalo compounds. When activated by UV light, these compounds covalently bind to tryptophan residues in proteins and emit a fluorescent signal that is easily detectable with stain-free enabled systems such as Bio-Rad's ChemiDoc™ MP and Gel Doc™ EZ imaging systems.
After protein separation is verified, the transfer of proteins to the western blot membrane is most commonly performed by electrophoretic transfer. Protocols utilizing standard wet or tank blotting systems typically require transfer times of one hour to overnight for a broad range of protein molecular weights. Traditional semi-dry transfer systems, more suited to proteins ranging from 10–100 kD, can perform transfers in 15–60 min. Bio-Rad's Trans-Blot® Turbo™ system reduces transfer protocols to as little as 3 min while maintaining high-efficiency protein transfer across a wide range of molecular weights.
After proteins have been transferred, the transfer efficiency should be checked visually. Again, prestained standards can be used for visualization. However, this method confirms only the transfer of the standards and does not provide a definitive confirmation for all the proteins on the western blot. A better method is to stain the membrane with a total protein stain that allows for the visualization of all proteins on the western blot and also allows the determination of transfer efficiency, molecular weight, relative quantities, and other properties of the transferred proteins.
Post-transfer staining is most commonly performed with Ponceau S, but this method involves time-consuming staining and destaining procedures and potentially introduces errors into western blotting results. Alternatively, Bio-Rad's stain-free technology together with stain-free enabled imaging systems allows for instant verification of protein transfer in addition to increased sensitivity over Ponceau staining. Due to the covalently bound compounds, proteins retain their fluorescence after activation and separation, thus providing the ability to verify protein transfer without any additional processing.
To validate and quantitate proteins in western blotting, the blotted proteins are detected using secondary antibodies, commonly conjugated to fluorophores (fluorescent molecules) or an enzyme such as alkaline phosphatase (AP) or horseradish peroxidase (HRP) that is used to generate a chemiluminescent signal. Less common labeling methods include the use of radioisotopes or colloidal gold.
The ChemiDoc MP imager can perform both chemiluminescence and multiplex fluorescence detection. Additionally, the stain-free technology can be used for total protein normalization in chemiluminescent and multiplex fluorescence western blotting. Bio-Rad's Image Lab™ software ensures that acquisition and analysis of the blot are intuitive and flexible through features such as automatic normalization and lane and band detection.
Thus, with five straightforward steps, the V3 Western Workflow provides a streamlined, more efficient protocol for western blotting.

It is officially my favorite time of the year.
The weather is slowly starting to get better, spring training has begun and Wrestlemania is right around the corner. Yeah, I said Wrestlemania. Just like everyone that didn't get laid enough wrestling was a big part of my life growing up. I mean, who didn't have a Stone Cold, Rock or nWo t-shirt in that sweet 97-2000 period? Losers, that's who. This should come as no surprise to any of you really. After all, Miller Park Drunk WAS the site that originally suggested the Ultimate Warrior theme for Todd Coffey and we all know how that turned out.
I don't watch as much wrestling as I did back then, but I usually always end up checking it out around Wrestlemania time. If you're looking for a good show, it's a pay-per-view that never lets you down unlike the majority of boxing and the occasional UFC PPVs I have watched over the years (one of the many positives of watching a fake sport.) Sure, there is still some stupid stuff on the show like last year's 20 minute Kid Rock concert, but overall at the end of the show I always feel as if I've gotten my money's worth and it's a perfect set-up drinking-wise for Opening Day. Last season was the perfect storm for my Wrestlemania/baseball orgy as Wrestlemania was Sunday, I went to Twins Opening Day on Monday and then made it home Tuesday for the Brewers first game of the season. Just a great three days of drinking, sporting, hanging with my friends and, of course, drinking. It's spread a bit further out this year, but for some strange reason nothing gets me ready for baseball season like Wrestlemania.
Now all these thoughts of wrestling and baseball have me mixing up the two. Was it Kane that Tombstoned Pete Rose or was that Richie Sexson? Who won 1992 Rookie of the Year for the Brewers, Pat Listach or The Repo Man? The more I thought about it, the more I realized that the reason I am confusing the two so much is because they are so much alike. Richie Sexson was who he was because of his size, just like Kane. Pat Listach basically stole the Rookie of the Year award from Kenny Lofton and then disappeared a few years later because he wasn't that good, just like the Repo Men basically stole people's cars and disappeared because he wasn't that good. (Sidenote: how did Listach get so many at-bats in 96-97? He was awful, I'm talking Shockmaster awful.) The comparisons are endless. However, for the purposes of this article we'll be limiting the comparisons to players currently on the team. So without any further adieu I present to you...
Miller Park Drunk's Guide to Brewers as WWF/E Stars
Mr. Perfect
Of course he is.
Mr. Perfect was exactly what his name implied. He was talented at everything he attempted and he knew it. A great worker that was great at interviews too, the fans couldn't help but hate him. He was everything you wanted to be, but couldn't and he knew that you knew it too.
Somewhat sadly, this description fits Ryan Braun to a tee. His self confidence and showboating is well documented, but the thing that has always stuck out to me is how much fans of other teams dislike him (like this facebook group "I Hate Ryan Braun") and how most of us probably do too. He's ours for the next few years and that's going to be pretty awesome, but it's hard not to think that some of us are simply waiting for him to turn heel on us and go to another team so that he can take his rightful place as the most hated man in Milwaukee history.
During the WWE's "Attitude" era Bradshaw gained some fame in the tag team APA, as a poker playing, beer swilling Texas redneck. His matches were never that good, but he was popular with the fans and had a strong character. As time went on his character got old and the fans grew tired of him. He decided to undergo a massive character overhaul towards the beginning of the 2000s trading in his beer drinking redneck ways for that of a rich Texas businessman calling himself JBL. After he crossed this line there was no going back and the fans would never really forgive him. I'm sure he really enjoyed "The Blind Side".
Much like Bradshaw, Corey Hart started off hot in his Brewers career gaining the adulation of fans culminating in them voting him onto the 2008 All-Star team and a beer drinking celebration with his daughter. Unfortunately, things would sour quickly as in the midst of a playoff race Corey Hart hit just .239 in the second half of the season including a paltry .173 in the final month of the season. After an injury plagued 2009 Hart end up having his JBL moment becoming the first player to take his arbitration case to court in Doug Melvin's GM career and winning it, thus angering some fans (though I'm still not sure why they care.) 2010 is a make or break year for Corey Hart as far as his relationship with the fans goes.
Dusty Rhodes
He was just a common man, working hard with his hands. He didn't look like an athlete is supposed to look, but he could talk the talk and (mostly) walk the walk. Fans could relate to him because he looked like them and you knew that he was a hard worker. (A hard worker, is not necessarily a good worker but still.) Looking at a picture of Dusty Rhodes you can't help but think "Seriously? That guy?", but after you saw him perform you understood.
Besides being completely controlled by fear, Prince and Dusty Rhodes are actually quite a lot like. Obviously, Prince Fielder doesn't look like an athlete is supposed to look but he is definitely something special when he steps up to the plate. Beyond that Rhodes "common man" persona jives perfectly with Prince Fielder. While Prince wasn't the son of a plumber, his father caused him enough troubles in his life that you really believe that the guy knows what hard time is all about. Plus, if I had to pick a Brewer I'd least like to see in wrestling trunks or the Brewer most likely to have a weird splotch on his chest, it would without a doubt be Prince Fielder.
Mark Attanasio is Vince McMahon
Gregg Zaun is Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (just feels right)
Manny Parra Yovani Gallardo is Eddie Guerrero (totally awesome, Mexican)
Ken Macha is Vince Russo (in charge, stupid, useless)
It's rare to find a character in wrestling that no matter what happens will always be either "good" or "bad". One of the best things about wrestling is the way wrestlers can change your entire feelings of them with a well executed storyline. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase is one of the people that no matter what he did would always be hated by wrestling fans. His character was simple, he was a rich asshole and he wouldn't share his money with you. In his mind there was nothing that couldn't be bought, including the WWF title or sometimes wrestlers themselves. Normally, he turned out to be right. We hated him for his money and he deserved it.
Jeff Suppan probably isn't a rich asshole. He donates a lot of his time and money to numerous charities and has made the most of his wealth by giving back. He is, by all accounts, a good guy. With that being said, he has not been a very good pitcher for the Brewers despite being paid like one and the only way he's ever going to get a Cy Young award is by buying one. There really isn't much worse you can do to a baseball fan base than not play like you are paid to play, even if it isn't your fault that they paid you that much. Still, we will probably always hate Jeff Suppan for his money whether he deserves it or not.
The Undertaker has been around forever and he's been remarkably consistent throughout his career, keeping himself and his character fresh. Which is amazing when you consider he's died, wrestled in possibly the worst Wrestlemania match of all time, was buried alive, killed his manager, hung the Big Bossman and worst of all he once used a Limp Bizkit song as his entrance music. He demands respect because he's been there, he's done that and he's probably done it two or three more times. His great accomplishment is probably the fact that he owns the most prestigious record in all of wrestling with a 17-0 showing at Wrestlemania, which I consider the only "record" fans actually care about.
I can say a lot of the same things about Trevor Hoffman that I just said about the Undertaker. He's been around forever, he has an impressive streak of 17 seas0ns with an ERA+ of at least 100, he has classic entrance music and he demands respect as one of the greatest closers of all time. All that is great, but that's not why I think the Undertaker and Trevor Hoffman are a perfect match. The truth is that the reason I paired these two up is because there probably won't be anyone like them ever again and they both had their wives stalked by DDP.
(Get it? They both have red hair!)
Terry Funk
The Living Legend Terry Funk is completely ageless. He started wrestling in 1965 and just kept on going until... now, I guess(?). A bigger draw earlier in his career, the Funker reinvented himself in the 90s as a hardcore icon that some would say made him bigger and better than he ever was before. I'm pretty sure if you called him right now and asked him to do a show, he'd do it if the price was right. He just loves what he does and will do it as long as his body allows or until the world ends, whatever comes first.
Much like Terry Funk, Craig Counsell was also born in 1944 and peaked in the 70s. While he was a starting player for much of his career, he has really re-invented himself as the Brewers utility-man and gotten better with age as last season was the best of his career. If he has a decent 2010, I see no reason he doesn't come back in 2011 and if he comes back then it's not that much of a stretch to think he'll still be a Brewer in 2012 which as we all know is the end of the world. A Brewer until the end.
