This viscose from France is so chic you just have to snap it up right now. First of all, how gorgeous is this jalapeno color. Second, you can use the satin side or the matte side and look elegant either way. The weight of the fabric is perfect--not too light, not too heavy--just right for stunning tops and slinky dresses. Or sew it up into a 1940|-style robe and await your gentlemen callers. Drapes into soft folds.

SOURCE Wynn Las Vegas
The $28.2 million masterpiece debuts at the resort on public display
LAS VEGAS, July 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wynn Las Vegas welcomes Popeye by acclaimed American artist Jeff Koons, as part of the resort's continued appreciation and commitment to public art. At 6 feet 5 inches tall and more than 2,000 pounds, the mirror-polished stainless steel Popeye stands proudly in the Wynn Esplanade.

The sculpture took two years to create (2009-2011) and was acquired at auction in May 2014 for a price of $28,115,000. Koons created three versions (plus artist's proof) of the famed character, one of which now calls Wynn Las Vegas home. The sculpture depicts the spinach-eating sailorman in a vivid spectrum of color.
Since his creation in 1929, Popeye has come to be known as the ultimate American hero. Audiences throughout the country were able to relate to the popular muscle-man and identify with the little guy who became powerful with just a can of spinach.
Popeye came to represent the beginning of Pop Art in the early 60's when Andy Warhol began depicting him in various paintings. Decades later, Popeye now represents the end of Pop Art with Koons' latest creation.
"I became drawn to the Popeye image in a very intuitive way," Koons said. "I wanted to have a dialogue with art history and with Pop Art, and also a dialogue with technology and to deal with the aspect of acceptance."
Wynn and Encore Las Vegas are two luxury hotel and casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. The iconic travel destinations are operated by international resort developer Wynn Resorts, recipient of more Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Awards than any other independent hotel company in the world. Wynn Las Vegas opened on April 28, 2005 and has been recognized as the best resort in Nevada on Conde Nast Traveler's "Gold List" for five consecutive years. The resort features 2,714 lavish guest rooms and suites, more than 111,000 square feet of state-of-the-art casino space, 14 casual and fine dining restaurants, a spa and salon and an on-site Ferrari and Maserati dealership and 18-hole golf course. Wynn Las Vegas is also home to "Le Reve – The Dream," an award-winning theatrical experience blending aerial acrobatics, provocative choreography, powerful performances and elaborate effects. Encore, an expansion of Wynn Las Vegas, opened on Dec. 22, 2008. Featuring an additional 2,034 all-suite accommodations, a 72,000-square-foot casino, five restaurants and a spa and salon, Encore is located adjacent to Wynn Las Vegas. Combined, the two resorts boast four distinct nightlife and day club experiences, approximately 283,000 square feet of meeting space and 98,000 square feet of retail space. The resorts feature an array of publicly displayed art, including works by the renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero, Raoul Dufy, Miriam Schapiro, Frank Owen, Tim Bavington, Viola Frey and Kazumi Yoshida. For more information on Wynn and Encore Las Vegas, visit www.wynnpressroom.com, follow on Twitter and Instagram at @WynnLasVegas and www.facebook.com/wynnlasvegas.
Jeff Koons was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955. He studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1976. Koons lives and works in New York City. Koons gained acclaim for his public sculptures, such as the monumental floral sculpture Puppy (1992) shown at Rockefeller Center and permanently installed at the Guggenheim Bilbao. Another floral sculpture, Split-Rocker (2000), was installed at the Papal Palace in Avignon, the Palace of Versailles and Fondation Beyeler. Koons has also received numerous awards and honors in recognition of his cultural achievements. Most recently, Secretary of State Clinton recognized Koons for his participation in the U.S. Department of State's Art in Embassies program with the first-ever Medal of Art. In 2009, the Royal Academy of Arts presented Koons with the John Singleton Copley Award, Koons received The Governor's Awards for the Arts Distinguished Arts Award and President Jacques Chirac promoted Koons to Officier de la Legion d'Honneur.

The first fight I am looking forward to is Zab and Garcia. I liked how Judah rebounded by beating Vernon Paris (and what the hell happen to Paris?) by knock out no less. I am going to go with my heart and Judah for the win. He has to convincingly beat Garcia in order to win on the cards. The fight is in Brooklyn and I know it will be mad energy. Garcia has to be aggressive and push Judah around. I am pumped for this fight I honestly hope it will live up to its building. Judah seems focused and Danny seems to be all in. Plus his father has put coal on the fire let's hope that this fight sets the tone for boxing the rest of the year. I like Judah by a late knock out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif)

I thought about this yesterday, and I have mixed feelings about it. Usually Garcia is the more dangerous fighter during exchanges, but he wont be in this fight. Zab's sneaky left uppercut will play a big part in turning the tide of the fight...especially of he gets hurt by Garcia.
I want to believe that Danny will just go in there and put the pressure on him early, and may very well do that (like he did in the Morales rematch). This is A LOT of pressure on Danny, but it's even more on Judah because of the location.
Though Zab looked good in the Paris fight, he still had moments of frustration (putting his forearm on Vernon's neck, etc). I've yet to see Zab fight a well-disciplined fight. The only time he comes remotely close to that, is when he unanimously has all of the advantages, and decides to cruise when he cant get the guy outta there.
I pretty much have this as a 50/50, with one sneaky punch from either guy, because neither of them have huge power.
PS: Maybe Zab's already 2 rounds into the fight, because of his press conference frustrations...so you know how many rounds he has left in him to make his mark. Lol

What is Flexigrid ASP.NET
Based on the excellent plug-in for jQuery, Flexigrid ASP.NET is a server control which displays grid-like data in a friendly way.
Flexigrid-ASP.NET offers you a seamless integration between ASP.NET and the jQuery Flexigrid plug-in.
Flexigrid ASP.NET is now discontinued. If you already bought Flexigrid ASP.NET and need your questions answered, do not hesitate to contact me. Simply reply the email that you received when you purchased a license.
Otherwise, you can still use the source code version, and adapt it to your needs.
All standard features that come with the flexigrid jQuery widget:
- Columns can be resized/filtered/ordered
- Flexigrid can resized
- Integrated support for sorting data on the client
- Loads data using ajax, which makes your pages load a lot faster
- Built-in paging support
- Show/hide columns, from code or from UI
- Toolbar support
Besides that, Flexigrid ASP.NET also provides you with:
- Way better alternative to the standard ASP.NET GridView
- 4 beautiful themes, out of the box. Of course, you can create your own theme.
- Flexible datasource: http handler, aspx page, GridView or a simple table element
- Support for update panel: the control will work both in an update panel and outside of it
- Support for column templates: you can customize the content of each data cell
- Postback persistence: selection/page are persisted across page postbacks
- Integrated buttons in grid with both client and server side support
- Custom row rendering. Define your own HTML structure of the cell.
- GridView as datasource. If you preffer a better way of presenting you data, you can attach the Flexigrid ASP.NET control to a GridView on your page.
- Send specific data to the server. You have the option to add extra variables, outside of the control, to the server in order to get the grid's data. For example, you can put some extra filtering options.
All these features are highlighted in a demo project, in the download package.
.NET Framework version
The Flexigrid ASP-NET control is developed using .NET Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010, but also works with .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008.

However, Flexigrid ASP.NET might also work on other browsers that aren't listed here.

Investigate Big Oil
American families are literally paying the price for our dependence on places like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Russia every time they fill up at the pump. There is no reason they should be in this situation, when relief for high gas prices can be found in our own country. Oil companies are keeping oil supplies tight and prices high on purpose, and posting record profits while saying they can\'t use alternative fuels like ethanol to reduce costs. It\'s time to send the big oil companies a message

Rodney Holmes...
Rodney Holmes was born in the Bronx in New York City. It was apparent early on that he had a gift for drawing, and later on painting. And this went hand and hand with his fascination with science fiction and fantasy art, books and films. Rodney assumed that he would grow up to become an illustrator and writer of graphic novels and comic books. Even his early art teachers wanted him to attend an art school for gifted children, but his mother decided not to force him in one direction so early. She wanted Rodney to make that decision for himself when he was old enough.
Surrounded by a very eclectic album collection, he fell in love with music as well. Rodney was always fascinated with bands and particularly the rhythm section. The drums were especially intriguing to him. After he joined the junior band in his elementary school while in the fourth grade, his mother bought him a small four-piece drum kit for Christmas. At that point, Rodney was listening playing along to albums from artists like Earth Wind and Fire, The Ohio Players and Parliament Funkadelic. He would also play along with albums from his mother's record collection- artists such as Sam Cook, Otis Redding, James Brown and Chuck Berry. He would later listen to and play along with recordings of Miles Davis, Max Roach, Tony Williams, Led Zepplin, The Police, Rush, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Weather Report, Frank Zappa, and The Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Even as a youth, Rodney was fascinated with film scores and soundtracks , and he would also go on to discover early Hip Hop pioneers such as Grand Master Flash and The Furious Five. The list goes on and on. As far as he was concerned, all of this music simply represented different branches from the same tree. This philosophy would stay with him well into adulthood.
By the time Rodney graduated from high school in Hartsdale, N.Y. just outside of New York City, he had chosen music over illustrating and painting. His appreciation for art would never disappear, but he knew that he had to focus on learning his craft. Rodney decided to do as much studying on his own as he possibly could. Along with going through Gary Chaffee's Metric Modulation books, he would also study some very basic and important books like George Stone's Accents and Rebounds and Stick Control. Again, the list goes on and on. His explorations would include delving into Jazz, and African and Afro Cuban music while playing in clubs around New York. Rodney found himself working with an extremely diverse group of musicians. The Rock bands that he played with didn't know about his Jazz background, and the Jazz musicians didn't know about his Rock and more contemporary playing. Understanding the pitfalls of being narrowly defined, he kept that secret for as long as he could.
Around this time, Rodney's talent soon caught the attention of pianist, keyboardist, composer, professor and musical visionary Clyde Criner. Dr. Criner took Rodney under his wing and put together a group featuring the young drummer. The group recorded two albums on RCA/Novus before Dr. Criner's untimely death. Dr. Criner left an incredible impression on Rodney both musically and personally.
Not long after Dr. Criner's passing, Rodney got the call to take over the drum chair for Joe Zawinul's band, The Zawinul Syndicate. After almost two years of touring with the Syndicate, Rodney decided that it was time to leave the band. He soon got a call from Carlos Santana who had known about Rodney through Clyde Criner and the two had talked about playing together at some point. It wasn't long afterwards that Rodney received an invitation to join the Santana Band for the Santana-Bob Dylan Tour later that summer. Rodney toured with the Santana Band through the end of that year, and credits the experience for giving him a greater perspective on performing in Rock venues and to much larger audiences. It also gave him a different and better understanding of the Rock and pop industry.
However, Rodney had other offers in the Jazz arena. He was called to record and tour with the legendary Brecker Brothers, performing on their 1994 Grammy winning album Out Of The Loop and on the Grammy winning song "African Skies". From that point on, he toured extensively with the Brecker Brothers for two years, and It was during this period that Rodney was exposed to dance clubs around the world. He was discovering different DJs and artists who were creating more electronic-based music. These experiences struck a chord, and would later have a profound influence on how he would hear and write music.
Rodney also went on to perform with Steps Ahead, the incredible Wayne Shorter, and many other artists before being called again to join the Santana Band in 1997. During this second stint with Santana (1997-2000), Rodney would go into the studio with the band to work on the Supernatural album. He laid down the drum tracks on the mega hit single "Smooth" with Rob Thomas. He also worked with The Dust Brothers while tracking drums for Eagle Eye Cherry's "Wishing It Was". This would lead to two more years of touring around the world with Santana supporting the record, as well as winning nine Grammys for his participation on the album. Rodney would later record a Christmas single with Rob Thomas afterwards. Looking back on the experience of having been such an integral part of Santana, a band that gained worldwide recognition and acclaim during his tenure, Rodney credits this experience with providing him exposure to millions of music lovers around the world, so many of whom became Rodney Holmes fans as a result.
At this time, Rodney was becoming more and more interested in Drum n Bass, Down Tempo or Trip Hop, Ambient, Trance, and different variations of Techno, Industrial and electronic music during his travels. It was also during this time that he started writing songs for what would eventually be his first solo album.
In 2001, Rodney was asked to do a three-week tour with guitarist Steve Kimock. While initially asked to do one tour, they both realized that there was an unmistakable chemistry. After that tour, Steve asked Rodney to become a member of the band as well as a creative partner. The two would delve into writing new music for the project, and things started to take off. (At this time, Rodney had already started pre production for his own Twelve Months Of October).
Rodney was introduced to Rock guitarist Jim Weider at one of SKBs concerts. Fascinated by Rodney's intricate and dynamic approach to playing Rock music, Jim called Rodney to play on his album Percolator. That proved to be such a great experience, that it eventually lead to them touring together in Jim's group and the recording of a second CD.
The Steve Kimock Band would eventually go into the studio and record Eudemonic. After five years of touring and developing a sound, the band broke up in 2005.
Rodney is also now a creative force in Jim Weider's Percolator Project and they continue to write original music for a forthcoming album. But Rodney's own project was proving to be more of a challenge to get up and running. Building this project from scratch while writing and touring with other people was very difficult. But things have finally started to take shape.
If there is a thread of continuity that seems to underscore the career of Rodney Holmes, it is probably his unmistakable willingness and eagerness to take chances, to take on new challenges, and to explore not only the music but his ability to express it in his musical language. Throughout his dynamic and ever-evolving career, he has defied all efforts to pigeonhole and categorize him as a jazz drummer, a rock drummer, a fusion drummer, etc and has made it altogether clear that Rodney Holmes- drummer, composer, bandleader- is simply a creative musician who enhances any musical setting he engages. When his schedule allows, Rodney conducts drum clinics and demonstrations just about anywhere in the world, and his articulate, witty, and insightful presentations have served to enhance his popularity not only among fellow drummers but also with music lovers of virtually any genre.
Rodney is now also involved with several dynamic and exciting projects that reflect who he is as an artist at this point and time. Bending and blending genres and shattering convention through his playing and writing seems to be what Rodney was put here to do. With his roots planted firmly in the past, and with a clear sense and feel for the present, Rodney enthusiastically looks forward into the future. But he is definitely here now. And if you are able to catch him with his new band "Rodney Holmes' LITHIUM TREE", with "Project Percolator", "Randy Brecker Group" or with whomever he's performing with, don't miss the opportunity. Because it's a rare treat to experience a genuine artist, a true musical force, and a guaranteed source of inspiration.

Maybe that's because most of "the Millennials" don't have job security. Young people today are having a far tougher time finding full-time jobs that are not just short-term contract positions. In deciding to postpone major purchases, their feelings about "the long-term outlook for the economy" probably do not play as large a role as their commendably prudent desire to avoid getting into debt.

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
After having visited my 94-year-old mother in a nursing home, it was imperative to write this letter opposing the ballot initiative for physician-assisted suicide this November.
Although my mother is ill, she still has her mental facilities and communicates very well. She and her fellow patients are very well-cared-for. In short, I don't want her to leave this Earth before her natural time and especially with the assistance of this proposed law. Anyone who has an elderly mother or father must feel the same way. At least most everyone. Even some of us who have lost loved ones wish they were still with us.
Much has appeared in The Salem News on this subject. However, one must speak out from soulful experience. Physician-assisted suicide is inhuman. The law states the physician need not be present during the death. One doubts health insurers would pay for the procedure or pay for the drugs. It is a very bad thing for our society to accept, and I ask voters not only to oppose physician-assisted suicide but also vote against legislators who approve of it.

College town
A college town or university town is a community (often a separate town or city, but in some cases a town/city neighborhood or a district) that is dominated by its university population. The university may be large, or there may be several smaller institutions such as liberal arts colleges clustered, or the residential population may be small, but college towns in all cases are so dubbed because the presence of the educational institution(s) pervades economic and social life. Many local residents may be employed by the university—which may be the largest employer in the community—many businesses cater primarily to the university, and the student population may outnumber the local population.
In Europe, a university town is generally characterised by having an old university, often founded before, or in some cases shortly after, the Industrial Revolution.[citation needed] The economy of the city is closely related with the university activity and highly supported by the entire university structure, which may include university hospitals and clinics, university printing houses, libraries, laboratories, business incubators, student rooms, dining halls, students' unions, student societies, and academic festivities. Moreover, the history of the city is often intertwined with the history of the university itself. Many European university towns have not been merely important places of scientific and educational endeavour, but also centres of political, cultural and social influence to their respective societies throughout the centuries. Examples of these cities include Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Szeged, Kraków, Leiden, Groningen, Grenoble, Montpellier, Bologna, Coimbra, Salamanca, Leuven, Ghent, Heidelberg, Freiburg, Fribourg, Göttingen, Trondheim, Pisa, L'Aquila, Marburg, Jena, Ferrara, Uppsala, Siena, Pavia, Eskişehir, Delft, Tartu, Tübingen, or Poitiers. Potchefstroom, Grahamstown and Stellenbosch are South African examples of university towns in the European tradition.
Besides a highly educated and largely transient population, a stereotypical college town often features a high number of people living non-traditional lifestyles and subcultures and high tolerance for unconventionality in general, an unusually active musical or cultural scene, and unusually left-wing politics, although there are exceptions; many college towns in the Southern United States are right-wing and/or libertarian. Many have become centres of technological research and innovative startups.
Town–gown relations[edit]
As in the case of a company town, the large and transient population attracted to the university may come into conflict with longstanding natives. Students may come from outside the area, and thus represent a different—sometimes radically different—culture. Furthermore, students are concentrated in a small, young (but still adult) age demographic, whose living habits may be different from older members of society.
Economically, the high spending power of the university and of its students in aggregate may inflate the cost of living above that of the region. It is common for university employees to commute from surrounding areas, finding the cost of living in town too expensive.
Studentification, in which a growing student population move in large numbers to traditionally non-student neighborhoods, may be perceived as a form of invasion or gentrification. The phenomenon has several causes, including university enrollment expanding beyond the capacity of on-campus housing, inadequate zoning enforcement, and student culture. At the same time as neighborhood associations work to limit conversion of family homes to student rentals, some local residents may oppose the construction of large on-campus dormitories or expansion of fraternity and sorority houses, forcing a growing enrollment to seek housing in town. Moreover, a single-family home can be converted into several smaller rental units, or shared by a number of students whose combined resources exceed those of a typical single-family rental—a strong incentive for absentee landlords to cater to students.
In the US, educational institutions are often exempted from paying local taxes, so in the absence of a system for "Payments In Lieu Of Taxes" (PILOT), the university population will disproportionately burden parts of the local public infrastructure, such as roads or law enforcement. Some analysts argue that students relieve the burden on other parts of the local public infrastructure, such as local primary and secondary schools, by far the most costly line item in most North American city and town budgets, they provide tax revenues, through local sales tax and property tax paid by landlords. When a university expands its facilities, the potential loss of property tax revenue is thus a concern, in addition to local desire to preserve open space or historic neighborhoods.
As a result, members of the local population may resent the university, and especially its students. The students, in turn, may criticize the local residents' taking jobs at the university provided by student tuition and fees, and accepting the tax revenues (e.g., local sales tax, property tax on rented properties) that students generate, but resenting students' lifestyles. Some students refer to regular inhabitants as townies, a term with somewhat derogatory connotations.
This "town and gown" dichotomy notwithstanding, students and the outside community typically find a peaceful (even friendly) coexistence, with the town's receiving significant economic and cultural benefits from the university, and the students' often adapting to the culture of the town.
Settlement in college towns[edit]
While noise, traffic, and other quality of life issues have not been resolved, some advocates of New Urbanism have led the development of neighborhoods in college towns by specifically capitalizing on their proximity to university life. For instance, some universities have developed properties to allow faculty and staff members to walk to work, reducing demand for limited on-campus parking; Duke University's Trinity Heights development is a key example. In many cases, developers have built communities where access to the university (even if not directly adjacent) is promoted as an advantage.
Student housing is also an important component of college towns. In the United States most state universities have 50 percent or more of their enrolled students living off-campus. This trend, which began in the 1960s, originally meant the conversion of near campus single-family homes to student housing, creating "student ghettos."
Colleges and other developers began building purpose-built off-campus student housing areas in the 1970s in more college towns. The Cotton District in Starkville, Mississippi is an especially well-designed example of such a development. Beginning around 2000 in the United States, nationwide real estate investment trusts (REIT) and publicly traded corporations began developing student housing complexes.
Another notable development since the 1990s is the surge in popularity of retirees relocating to college towns. Retirees are attracted to these locations because of cultural and educational opportunities, college athletic events, good medical facilities (often at teaching hospitals affiliated with medical schools), a low cost of living, and often a pedestrian- or public transit-friendly development pattern. Several development companies now specialize in constructing retirement communities in college towns. In some cases the communities have developed formal relationships with the local institution.
The demand for housing from students, faculty, staff, and retirees has kept college town home prices stable during the housing market downturn that began in 2005.[1]
College towns worldwide[edit]
The college town is largely an American phenomenon, according to Blake Gumprecht, an assistant professor of geography at the University of New Hampshire;[2] in Europe, Africa and Asia, most institutions of higher education grew together with major cities—with considerable exceptions such as Pantnagar, Aligarh, Cambridge, Oxford, Dumaguete, Durham, Aberystwyth, St. Andrews, Coimbra, Stellenbosch, Lund, Potchefstroom, Trondheim, Tübingen, Neuchâtel, Fribourg, Marburg, Jena and Heidelberg. As new institutions are increasingly founded in outlying locations to serve growing student populations, the phenomenon of the college town is recognizable worldwide. Examples of cities which University activity is having an increasingly social, cultural, technological and economical impact on their population are Spanish cities like Donostia-San Sebastian (Basque Country, northern Spain) and San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Tenerife, Canary Islands).

Woman accused of drunk driving with grandchildren in carMay 02,2013Grandma accused of drunken driving
BENNINGTON A Silver Street woman was charged with five misdemeanors on Monday after police said she had been stopped on Saturday while driving with three children in the car and a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit.
Evelyn L. OBrien, 53, of Bennington, pleaded innocent on Monday to two charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and three charges of reckless endangerment.
In an affidavit, Officer Joshua Stemp, of the Bennington Police Department, said he stopped OBrien around 9:10 p.m. on Saturday after watching her drive through the intersection of Main and Depot streets. According to Stemp, OBrien drifted toward the opposite lane while driving through the intersection.
During the stop, Stemp said he learned there were three children in the car, a 10-year-old, an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old. Two of the children were OBriens grandchildren and the third was a family friend.
According to the affidavit, OBriens blood alcohol content was measured at 0.176 percent at the scene of the stop around 9:25 p.m. The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent. At the police station, around 10:30 p.m., OBriens blood alcohol content was measured at 0.0162 percent.
OBrien, who has no criminal record, was released without bail on Monday but ordered not to have any children younger than 18 in her vehicle when she drives.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

Enter appraiser Lee Drexler, an expert of letting go of unwanted items and getting top dollar for them.
For fine arts and antiques, Drexler recommends getting them appraised, then hitting an auction block.
"Everything at auction now is listed on the Internet," she says. "Everybody in the world will see your item!"
She says your goods could sell for about 10 to 100 times what they're worth.
"There was a vase sold this year, a Chinese vase and the auction house that sold it thought it was a reproduction they estimated it at $1,000 to $1,200--they sold it for $18 million."
Drexler says you could also unload unwanted items through a dealer. She says it's a good idea to get multiple estimates.
"You have them come in at different times, they give you a bid as to what they're going to pay and if you agree to take the person who has the highest price, they have to come in with a certified check."
But if your items are not that fancy, Drexler says you can always list them on eBay.
Although she says packing and shipping the items could be time consuming.
"It reaches thousands of people, but you do have to negotiate with the person to determine what the price will be, you then have to pack and you have to send the thing, so if you have a few things it could work out very well."
Drexler says another good way to let go of your items is at a tag sale.
"Auction houses don't like taking things from your kitchen, cucumber peelers or carrot choppers that cost you $2 or $3, but at a proper tag sale it could be sold. You could make thousands of dollars."

The ADEAGies Foundation/AADR Academic Dental Careers Fellowship Program (ADCFP) was created with the goal of providing students, residents and fellows with a window into the day-to-day experiences of faculty members in our academic dental institutions. By exposing students to the multifarious educational experiences at dental institutions, such as academics, clinical practice, biomedical, clinical and educational research and administration, the goal of nurturing a cadre of future dental educators can be realized.
For the 2014–15 ADCFP, 10 students, residents and fellows will be selected from U.S. and Canadian dental schools and hygiene programs to participate in a year-long program hosted primarily at the student's dental institution. AAL and ADEA provided students and their faculty mentors a hands-on one-and-a-half day training at the 2014 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition in San Antonio, TX, on March 16, 17 and 18, 2014.
The sessions will orient fellow-mentor pairs from each school or program to the goals, components and expectations of the ADCFP Fellowship. Fellows and mentors will learn about and practice planning and communication skills pertinent to establishing and maintaining an effective mentor-student relationship as well as interviewing skills, giving and receiving feedback, teaching best practices for the clinic and classroom and communicating expectations.
Any questions about the ADEAGies Foundation/AADR ADCFP or the application process should be directed to:

DETROIT, Mich. – The Mariners opened up their 10-game road trip with a 7-4 win over the Detroit Tigers Tuesday night, tallying 15 hits and ending their four-game losing streak.
Seattle gave Max Scherzer trouble right off the bat, as Chone Figgins was walked and then moved to third on a Dustin Ackley single. After Ichiro Suzuki popped out to second base, Jesus Montero opened up the scoring with a single to left center to bring in Figgins. After a pop out to shortstop by Kyle Seager, Alex Liddi singled to load the bases with two outs. Scherzer then struck out Michael Saunders, limiting the damage to one run on three hits.
Ackley opened up the third with a walk, followed by a single by Ichiro. After a Montero fly out, Seager singled to center field, bringing in Ackley. After getting a second out on a Liddi strikeout, Saunders hit a deep double to left center scoring Ichiro and Seager and giving the M's a four run lead.
Detroit got on the board in the third on a two-out single by Brennan Boesch that brought in Brandon Inge. They then narrowed the gap further in the fourth on an Alex Avila two-run homer.
Seager lead off the fifth with a single, Liddi then moved him over to third on a single of his own and then stole second base. Miguel Olivo then grounded into a fielder's choice that scored Seager while Liddi was thrown out at third.
Miguel Cabrera hit a solo shot in the fifth bringing their margin back to one.
Liddi added a solo home run in the seventh, putting Seattle up 6-4.
Reliever Tom Wilhelmsen found himself in a jam in the eighth as he gave up two straight singles to Cabrera and Prince Fielder. A fly out by Delmon Young moved Cabrera to third. Wilhelmsen escaped the inning unharmed by striking out the next two batters.
The Mariners added a little insurance in the ninth on a two-out double by Saunders that scored Ichiro. Casper Wells, who was pinch running for Montero, was unable to beat the throw home.
Brandon League then came on in the bottom of the ninth and after giving up a leadoff walk, he retired the next three batters to seal the victory and earn a save.
The M's lineup was very productive as eight of the nine starters produced 15 hits on the night. Liddi and Ichiro lead the way for the club with three each.
Starter Jason Vargas threw for six innings allowing four runs on six hits with four strikeouts. Steve Delabar, Wilhelmsen, and League combined for three innings of shutout ball to close out the game, each throwing for an inning.
Scherzer got his second loss of the season as he gave up ten hits to Seattle, allowing five runs and striking out six.
The Mariners and Tigers will continue the series in Detroit tomorrow at 4:05 p.m. PDT.

I trust Pat Yasinkass sources at one Buc Place. He reported the gossip that they were looking at Milliner and Banks (trading up or down) and that a significant amount of people felt Banks was the way to go. [/size]
Can't really see the G-Men trading up for Teo since there's a very good chance he's available at 19.
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
The idea of trading down and still getting Banks is great , but then he went and wasted all those other draft picks on bums.

As a kid, I listened to the radio show "The FBI in Peace and War," in which the Bureau always got its man and whose Agents operated under strict codes of decency. In the 1960s, "The FBI" morphed to television.

The late FBI Special Agent Robert Scherrer told me how humiliating it was in the late 1960s to visit elderly Jewish grandmothers. "They always served me tea and cookies.

Gone are the days of sticking to books and chalkboards in the classroom. The Internet has opened up a world of resources that teachers can use to supplement their lesson plans.
For Research
When students need to research something, whether for a report, project, or simply to participate in a discussion, the Internet provides a ready research platform. Sites like Ask for Kids and KOL make it easy for students to find the information they need, when they need it. However, Internet research isn't just for kids. Sites like Discovery Education are great places for teachers to find information and ideas as well.
For Communication
The Internet is a powerful communication tool. Studying a particular part of the world? Students can write to email pals in that area to learn about cultural differences and maybe even make long-distance friends. Epalsis a site that facilitates student email conversations.
For Multisensory Learning
Videos, animations, and audio clips provide a good way to reinforce information learned via more traditional means. For example, students may benefit from seeing a video presentation about the mummification process or from seeing some of the marine life found in the Amazon River. Listening to a famous speech may be more exciting than simply reading it, and full-color animations may help illustrate concepts better than whiteboard drawings in some cases.
For Fun
There's something to be said for resources that combine fun with learning. Many students will enthusiastically approach math practice that is presented in a gaming format. They also tend to enjoy interactive quizzes and similar resources that allow them to forget they're actually working. While these resources won't replace traditional practice, they can go hand in hand with it to bolster a better understanding.
For Display
Think of all you can do with a class website. Students can showcase their work and display projects completed as a group. Planning for a special guest to visit the classroom? The teacher can introduce the guest and provide a little background to prepare the class. This website can even be used to post newsletters and calendars–perfect for keeping parents up to date on classroom happenings.
For Learning at a Different Pace
The Internet can also be good for providing individual reading assignments, projects, and research to students. This may come in handy when a particular student is ready to move on to a new topic before the rest of the class or when a student needs a little extra time to spend on a topic before moving on to the next subject.
To See the World
Field trips are a great way to learn, but it's impossible to travel to all the places students might enjoy. This is where online field trips can help. With an Internet connection, students can travel the world and see everything from the pyramids to the Louvre Museum, without leaving the classroom!
What else can you find on the Internet?

- Facts and Figures
- Updated Information
- Maps

text: Leviton offers three new dual relay multi-technology wall-mount occupancy sensors that combine bi-level switching with passive infrared (PIR) and ultrasonic (US) technology. The new OSSMD, OSSMD-G, and OSSMD-F feature self-adaptive technology that compensates for realtime occupancy patterns. The OSSMD accommodates a range of application environments and is compatible with incandescent, fluorescent, and low-voltage lighting, providing automatic switching of two separate lighting loads from a single unit. The OSSMD-G does not require a neutral wire for installation, making it suitable for retrofit applications. The OSSMD-F is designed for areas when there is a need for a delayed-off for the second relay. The line uses PIR sensing to detect motion, while US sensing provides maximum sensitivity and range. The sensors also feature walk-through sensing that automatically switches lights off after momentary occupancy. Additional features include an ambient light override feature to keep lights off when there is adequate natural lighting, adjustable field-of-view blinders, and a push button for manual switching at any time.

Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy.
