Welcome to GEM
Global English Mentors is the premier volunteer site in Honduras
Our relationship with Honduras spans over two decades. We provide volunteer English teachers to schools that meet our criteria of responsible social educators. GEM takes care of all the details of your stay here including safe housing, free meals in school, and experienced counselors to make your stay in Honduras a rewarding experience which will be cherished for years to come. GEM firmly believes that in order for parents to fully support their children's educational dreams and aspirations, the parents need to raise their educational level as well. Our project schools tend to be those in which the school administrators provide at low cost or no cost the education that the child's caretaker needs to empower themselves and assist the child, and this is the support that is lacking in third world family scenarios. This cohesive and comprehensive educational strategy is what is missing in most well-meaning volunteer programs everywhere, but, it is one which we highly value We hope you join us in becoming a part of this process.
During breaks, Honduras has a lot to offer you as well. The people here are warm and welcoming to those who come here.The land is very beautiful with much to offer, from mountain hikes and water rafting, beautiful Caribbean beaches where you can snorkel in the second largest reefs in the world to being awed by the Mayan ruins in Copan. Honduras offers it all. Come to Honduras to teach and fall in love with this land, you will never want to leave.
WANTED: Mathematics TEACHER!
GEM is looking for a volunteer to teach mathematics.
The applicant should be a mathematics or science major with some Spanish language skills. The ideal candidate should be familiar with the Singapore math curriculum and have an interest in implementing a pilot math curriculum for grades Pr-K to 2nd Grade in one of our schools.

The empty nest is painful, but it gives you a great perspective on parenting. The days that you've been given to care for your children are much briefer than you think. When you stand where my wife and I are today, you'll know that you have performed the most important task a human being can undertake, and it's worth everything it costs you to do the job right.

The police department's traffic division conducted a DUI saturation patrol throughout Long Beach from 6 p.m. Saturday until 2 a.m. Sunday morning.
During the eight-hour operation, six additional police officers patrolled the city looking for impaired drivers, but made just two DUI arrests.
The so-called saturation patrol for drunk drivers wrote far more tickets this Saturday night: officers issued six unlicensed/suspended license citations, impounded five vehicles, and 26 parking and 52 miscellaneous traffic citations were issued.
DUI saturation patrols are, according to the police department, a "vital" component in the fight against impaired drivers because they have been proven to reduce impaired driving-related collisions. .
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Safety Administration.
Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the Office of Traffic Safety said, "When more people drive sober and safely, lives are saved. It's just that simple. This grant will help make Long Beach just that much safer of a place to work and live."

The Holly Bush
The Holly Bush Review
A short walk up the hill from Hampstead Tube station, the friendly Holly Bush was a country pub before London spread this far north. It retains something of a rural feel, with stripped wooden floors and an open fire, and is an intimate place to enjoy great ales and organic and free-range pub food. Try the homemade pork scratchings and pickled eggs.

Texans are urged not to eat certain raw tomatoes because of a multistate outbreak of Salmonella.
The outbreak began in mid April, and so far there have been 21 confirmed cases. The Department of State Health Services says raw tomatoes have been targeted as the likely source.
Authorities say don't eat raw Roma or full sized round tomatoes unless they are home grown or sold attached to the vine.

Senior Bowl: Risers and fallers
MOBILE, Ala.
This week is all about creating an impression.
While there is plenty of time for teams to evaluate the Senior Bowl participants leading up to April's NFL draft, how they performed this week will go a long way toward deciding when they will be selected.
NFL DRAFT FULL COVERAGEWhether it's mock drafts, analysis or player breakdowns . . . we have it here.
Here's a look at some players whose draft stock may be on the rise and some whose stock could be on the decline based on their play this week.
Moving up
Colin Kaepernick, Nevada, QB
There was no doubt, even after the first day of practices, that Kaepernick was the best quarterback on the field. He threw with tremendous accuracy and power all week. And his athleticism for the position is off the charts. His only negative is an elongated release, which can be adjusted. It also would be to his benefit if he added more bulk to his wiry frame.
Christian Ponder, Florida State, QB
The strong-armed passer was one of the most consistent and surprising performers from the offensive side all week in practice. Ponder threw with great power and accuracy. He also displays the ability to throw accurately on the run. Ponder topped it all off by winning the MVP Award for the game after completing 7 of 13 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns. His next test will be during February's NFL Scouting Combine where he'll go through a battery of tests on his previously injured elbow and shoulder.
Kendall Hunter, Oklahoma State, RB
Personnel evaluators were wondering if Hunter was anything more than a scatback, but he proved he's much more. Hunter, for being a bit smaller (5-7, 199) than ideally suited to be a starter at the next level, was willing to run inside and he did a nice job of getting to the second level on many of his carries. He also did a decent job in protection during passing plays.
Titus Young, Boise State, WR
Young simply was uncoverable all week. But he didn't just beat the defensive backs on deeper routes. Young caught everything thrown his way and he did a nice job of adjusting to errant passes. Because of his speed, Young won't make it out of the first day of the draft. In fact, he's looking like a rock-solid second-round pick at this point. He probably needs to put a little weight (he weighs 174) on his 5-11 frame, however.
SENIOR BOWL PHOTOSCheck out the best action from this weekend.
Leonard Hankerson, Miami (Fla.), WR
Hankerson is a big, physical wide receiver who made plays all week. He did a nice job of shielding off defenders. While he's not known for his speed, Hankerson had no problem creating separation from defensive backs. He also did a great job of coming back to the ball. For example, during the first quarter of the Senior Bowl game, Hankerson made a great adjustment on a pass from quarterback Christian Ponder, which was badly underthrown because of swirling winds. Hankerson finished the game with five receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown.
Vincent Brown, San Diego State, WR
Brown looked like a veteran receiver all week. He caught the ball correctly away from his body and it's obvious that he has been coached well. Brown does an outstanding job of coming back to the ball — a trait which few young receivers possess, coming into the NFL. I doubt there were any other players who helped themselves this week more than Brown.
Jeremy Kerley, TCU, WR
Kerley is a tough, inside receiver who really has a good feel for the game. He did an outstanding job of reading the coverage during both one-on-one and team drills. Kerley repeatedly got open and rarely dropped passes this week. He's another receiver who helped himself by consistently performing at a high level as the week progressed.
Cameron Jordan, California, DE
There was no doubt that Jordan, a son of former NFL tight end Steve Jordan, was going to be a first-round pick in this year's NFL draft. But this week, he raised his game to another level. He displayed tremendous speed and repeatedly got by blockers all week. There is no question that Jordan will be moving up draft boards as we get closer to April's NFL draft. He figures to fit in better with a 3-4 defense than a 4-3 based on his size and ability.

Moving down
Jake Locker, Washington, QB
If you were in attendance and watching him during the practice sessions this week, you probably gasped at his inaccuracy. Locker rarely threw two accurate passes in a row, a sure sign that he has problems with his mechanics. Locker seemed to turn his right hand a bit during his release which could be part of the problem. His poor performance during the Senior Bowl game didn't help his cause, either. His outstanding intangibles will help him be picked in the first half of the draft, but bottom line is he must get things turned around by the time the NFL Combine comes around in February.
Noel Devine, West Virginia, RB
Devine really needed a big week of practices in order to show personnel evaluators that he's more than just a special-teams returner. He made the occasional big play, but the diminutive back still has a lot to prove leading into April's NFL draft. He'll need to run well during February's NFL Combine in order to move up draft boards.
Mark Herzlich, Boston College, LB
There are few better feel-good stories than Herzlich's. He had to overcome cancer and having a titanium rod in his left leg in order to resume his career. But Herzlich struggled in coverage and still has not gotten all of his speed back. No one should ever bet against Herzlich based on his strong will, but he has a long way to go in order to get back to where he was before he suffered his illness two years ago.

Dallas Buyers Club star Matthew McConaughey delighted the Golden Globes audience by starting his best dramatic film actor acceptance speech harkening back to his trademark line from Dazed and Confused: "All right, all right, all right." Paul Drinkwater/NBC Universal/Getty Images
For the 71st annual Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association shared the love by spreading out trophies to a wide swath of winners, making for what appeared — to viewers anyway — a convivial evening of Hollywood celebration. Here are 5 memorable tidbits from Sunday night's broadcast.
Killer emcees
Host Tina Fey ended the telecast by dubbing the night "the beautiful mess [she and co-host Amy Poehler] hoped it would be." But was anyone really surprised? The duo's irreverence, easy playfulness and self-deprecation helped kick the broadcast off to a great start with careful, yet still funny skewering of Hollywood's biggest names as well as the Globe organizers themselves.
"This is Hollywood," the returning Fey explained off the top, "if something kind of works, they'll just keep doing it until everyone hates it."
The opening joke that seemed to get the biggest laughs from the industry crowd? Fey's description of nominated film Gravity as the movie where "George Clooney would rather float away in space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age."
Add just the right number of Matt Damon and Julia Louis-Dreyfus jokes over three hours, Poehler posing as Fey's "celebrity" son and also making out with Bono, and the ladies can chalk Sunday up as another successful night as Golden Globe emcees. And they still have one more year to go.
"Lubricated" presenter
Famous for its free-flowing bar — referenced by several stars onstage (see below) as well as hosts Fey and Poehler, who occasionally popped up with wine goblets in hand — the Globes might consider awarding Emma Thompson a prize for being one of Sunday night's quirkiest presenters.
The British actress and writer arrived onstage to present the screenwriting category barefoot, clutching her Christian Louboutin heels in one hand and swirling a full martini glass in the other.
"I just want you to know, this red," she quipped, noting the shoes' trademark soles, "it's my blood."
The Saving Mr. Banks actress then gamely dived into her martini before tossing her heels to accept the envelope listing the winning screenwriter.
Catchphrase call-out
While most of the night's acceptance speeches were the usual list of predictable thank yous, a couple of actors lit up the crowd by delivering their respective catchphrases.
Best dramatic film actor winner Matthew McConaughey was honoured for Dallas Buyers Club, among his recent spate of critically acclaimed performances. He delighted one and all with his familiar "All right, all right, all right!" — harkening back to his early stoner role in Dazed and Confused — as he took the stage to accept his trophy.
Earlier, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan thanked fans in his best TV drama win speech, but turned the mic over to series co-star Aaron Paul for some final words. Paul responded with his character Jesse Pinkman's trademark declaration "Yeah, bitch!" to supportive hoots from the crowd. (Incidentally, it wasn't the only impromptu "swear" that made it on-air: Jacqueline Bisset and Elisabeth Moss also responded to their respective acting wins with minor cursing.)
"Lubricated" winner
Best gently soused, mildly controversial acceptance speech of the night? Likely Cate Blanchett's admittedly vodka-fuelled, rambling thank you upon winning one of the night's final honours: best actress in a dramatic film for Blue Jasmine. The celebrated Aussie went from referencing Judy Garland being plied with barbiturates to wondering if audiences at home could hear the music that was ushering her offstage.
Factoid faux-pas
One of the night's major faux-pas took place outside of the gala itself, when the E! Entertainment network bizarrely listed Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's diagnosis in 1991 as a "fun fact" — a move that exploded into a Twitter uproar.
The information was shown as part of a graphic during the E! live stream of its red-carpet coverage, but was not actually televised. The network subsequently apologized to the Canadian-American actor (a TV comedy acting nominee Sunday night), saying in a statement that it regretted the insensitive graphic.

NCAA Tournament Day 2
#14 Mercer defeated #3 Duke
The Duke game has already been over-analyzed. Did they take too many threes? Maybe, but they did score 1.21 points per possession by making 15 threes on 37 shots from deep. Did Duke's inexperience hurt them? Maybe, the Blue Devils allowed a home run pass for a lay-up after they cut the lead to three late in the game. That kind of mistake could be the result of the team's youth. Did the Blue Devils fail to utilize Jabari Parker properly? Almost certainly they should have given him more post touches. But Parker was 4 of 11 on his twos, and getting Parker the ball more didn't seem like a totally dominant strategy against Mercer's defensive alignment.
To be realistic, college basketball analysts knew this was coming. We've known all year that Duke was going to lose in the NCAA tournament because their defense couldn't get enough stops. On Friday, Mercer made 56% of its shots and hit almost every key free throw down the stretch. We didn't know Duke would go down in the first round, but we knew this would happen eventually. And as Mike Krzyzewski himself noted, it was a beautiful thing to see seven Mercer seniors (who should have been in the NCAA tournament last year if not for Florida Gulf Coast), finally receiving the payoff from all their hard work.
#6 Baylor defeated #11 Nebraska
Nebraska looked lost against a zone defense. In the first half they went 0 for 11 from three. At halftime, head coach Tim Miles said his team was 4 of 5 when it got the ball in the paint, and they needed to stop settling for jump shots. For a stretch at the start of the first half, Nebraska responded and finally made a few shots. Then Miles got a technical. Then Miles went to complain about the shot-clock not working and got ejected from the game.
In the first half the announcers noted that Tim Miles is a "one question coach". If you want to do a media interview, all you have to do is ask him one question, and he will talk for 10 minutes. Normally his energy and enthusiasm helps build excitement for the program.
But in this case, Miles words, his constant harassing of the referees, eventually got him kicked out. The technical for complaining about the shot-clock was clearly a tough call. But given all of Miles complaints leading up to it, he certainly bears some responsibility for what happened.
Sadly, Nebraska's offensive ineptitude and Miles antics distracted from an impressive victory for Baylor. Baylor's splits this season are insane:
In the middle of the season, Baylor was playing like a team outside the Top 100. But since Feb 12th, Baylor has been playing like a Top 10 team. A lot of people want to point to Kenny Cherry's ankle injury as a reason for the team's swoon. But that isn't the full story. Cherry had some good games when Baylor was losing, including 22 in a loss to Texas Tech.
Realistically, Baylor has simply played better in every offensive category late in the season. They've shot better, turned the ball over less, grabbed more offensive rebounds, and got to the foul line more since that swoon. They've also been playing at a slower and more controlled pace, with about 4 fewer possessions per game. On Friday, the free throw attempts were the difference. But as Baylor heads into Sunday's match-up with Creighton, they are clearly clicking on all cylinders.
#10 Stanford defeated #7 New Mexico
Stanford led 20-4 early, but New Mexico kept crawling back. Eventually the Lobos tied the game on a Cullen Neal fast-break bucket with about 10 minutes left in the game. But as well as Cameron Bairstow played, he simply didn't have any support. Kendall Williams, a former MWC player-of-the-year, couldn't get a clean look at the basket. Normally given Williams 6'4" frame, he can shoot over anyone. But Stanford harassed him with bigger defenders, including the 6'10" Dwight Powell. And Williams struggled to beat Stanford's defense off the dribble. The net result was a nearly 7 minute scoring drought that locked the game up for Stanford.
We often write about redemption in the NCAA tournament. Last year New Mexico had one of the best seasons in program history. But New Mexico lost to Harvard in round of 64, and it felt like this team had some unfinished business. With four starters back from last year's team, 2014 was supposed to be a year for redemption.
But a Stanford team full of juniors and seniors decided to write the happy ending for their team instead. Senior Josh Huestis hit a late jumper to put Stanford up 7. Senior John Gage played some great minutes in relief of foul plagued Stefan Nastic. And even though Senior Dwight Powell had an off night offensively, thanks to the team's all-around defensive effort, Powell earned another game to show his stuff in the NCAA tournament.
#11 Tennessee defeated #6 UMass
"This is the lowest number of points UMass has scored in any half of any game this season." UMass struggled to just 22 points in the first half against Tennessee, and despite a valiant effort to create chaos and gamble for steals in the second half, the 19 point deficit was simply too big to overcome.
Somehow Tennessee has gone from a team that barely made the NCAA tournament, to a Sweet Sixteen favorite. And it might not stop there. Tennessee has been winning by such a large margin since March 1st, that they would actually be favored against Michigan according to Kenpom.com.
#3 Creighton defeated #14 Louisiana Lafayette
Doug McDermott went 13 minutes without scoring in the second half, and the Ragin Cajuns pulled within three points. But even when McDermott doesn't score, he still makes a huge difference on the court. The almost constant double-teams of McDermott gave his teammates wide open looks from three point range. And McDermott even had a block in crunch time. Then, when his team needed it again, he nailed a dagger three. The fifth all-time scorer in NCAA history scored 30 points in the win.
#2 Kansas defeated #15 Eastern Kentucky
In the RealGM.com bracket podcast, I said that Eastern Kentucky wasn't going to win, but at some point they were going to make some threes and give Kansas a scare. Well, EKU's 8th three of the game gave the EKU a 48-45 lead. EKU's 9th three of the game (a ridiculous step-back three by Orlando Williams) made it 53-51 in favor of EKU. And EKU's 10th three of the game gave EKU a 56-53 lead. At one point, Kansas was shooting 62% and still losing.
But that's when Jamari Traylor really took over. I've spent this season being skeptical of the Kansas big man. Traylor shot 42% from the floor last year while taking mostly lay-ups. He's the lowest ranked recruit on scholarship with the Jayhawks. And while he has played better this year, I've never quite believed he would be an impact player. But with Joel Embiid out, Kansas needed Traylor to rise to the occasion, and he did. Traylor hit two huge buckets when EKU was knocking down its threes. And then, when EKU went on one last run to cut the lead to 64-61, Traylor's offensive rebound put-back essentially sealed the victory. Traylor's previous season best was 10 points against TCU, but he scored 17 in the Jayhawks close victory.
#8 Gonzaga beat #9 Oklahoma St.
There were 61 fouls in this game, the most in a non-OT NCAA tournament game since 1975. There are a number of people that are going to call the foul situation an abomination. But I found it more fascinating what this game revealed about how the players involved respond to pressure.
With the pressure on, Marcus Smart continued to make questionable decisions. He turned the ball over. He missed free throws. And when a call went against him (an out-of-bounds that he never touched), he did not react in a relaxed fashion. Instead he exaggerated his frustration by jumping up and down. If we hoped Smart had somehow matured into a different player due to his suspension, that was probably not accurate.
LeBryan Nash has matured this season. But under the pressure of the tournament, he again wilted. His shirt-grab for a fifth foul was probably a call the officials should let go. But it was also dumb to reach with four fouls. Travis Ford even seemed like a coach who got caught up in the emotion of the moment, picking up a technical at the end of the first half.
In my opinion, the player who truly matured for Oklahoma St. this season was Markel Brown. Brown raised his career ORtg from 90 as a freshman, to 96 as a sophomore, to 110 last year, to 118 this season. And when the game was being decided, Brown was the only player taking to the ball to the basket and converting easy looks for Oklahoma St.
To see Brown go down like this is difficult. But for the rest of the Oklahoma St. team, this game showed the dangers of putting all your hopes and dreams in one basket. Marcus Smart came back to Oklahoma St. because he wasn't satisfied with last year's first round NCAA tournament exit. He was betting on a better outcome this year. But no one can go back to school and expect to settle unfinished business. Too much depends on injuries, match-ups, teammates, and referees.
You can't go back to win a Big 12 title. You can't go back to win a national title. You can't even go back to win a game in the round of 64. You can only go back to be a better player and hope for an opportunity.
#6 North Carolina defeated #11 Providence
Like I was saying, no single player can do it all. Bryce Cotton scored a career high 36 points on Friday. He had 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and he seemingly did it all. He hit crunch time threes. He was fouled on crunch time three attempts. He got transition baskets. He attacked the rim in the half-court and was fouled. Cotton refused to spend a moment on the bench. But you can't win a basketball game alone. And with North Carolina dominating the rebounding game (grabbing over half of its missed shots), Cotton's amazing performance simply wasn't enough.
#8 Memphis defeated #9 George Washington
For 5th year transfers, the long end of a career can be fascinating. Maurice Creek, who transferred from Indiana to George Washington, has nothing to regret. The once elite prospect (and often prolific scorer) spent his entire Indiana career injured. But at GW he finally got a chance to be the star. And even though his shot was off in the NCAA tournament (including an airball with one second left), at least he got to go down swinging.
I wonder how David Pellom feels. He played 27 minutes a game for George Washington last season. But he used a graduate school transfer to leave for Memphis. At Memphis, he has seen his playing time cut in half. He hasn't played 20 minutes in a game since January. With the young Memphis frontcourt players emerging, his biggest role has been as a practice adversary. Yes, his current team got the last laugh on his old team. Memphis beat GW in the NCAA tournament. But if he had stuck around in the nation's capital, would things have been different? Would it have been a more satisfying ending to his career?
Michael Dixon isn't questioning his decision. The Missouri player who transferred to Memphis didn't have a choice to continue his career at his old school. And in a two point game, Dixon provided the needed cushion with a clutch three. Dixon was also more than willing to go to the line to put the game away at the charity stripe. For these three 5th year transfers, the first NCAA tournament game could not have been more different.
#12 Stephen F Austin defeated #5 VCU
This feels like the worst mistake ever! Leading by 4 points, the only way VCU could blow the game against SFA was by fouling a SFA player in the act of shooting a three. The game was essentially over. But somehow VCU's JeQuan Lewis got caught up in the heat of the moment and got too aggressive. SFA's Desmond Haymon made a three pointer, Lewis tackled him, and the 4 point play sent the game into OT.
Kenny Smith was more generous in one of the halftime segments. He said these things happen in basketball games. He knew that labeling a college player as a "choker" is harsh and unfair. But I don't see how Lewis can ever live this moment down.
Besides the horrible foul, perhaps we should just realize that when teams get on winning streaks, miraculous things seem to happen. When Syracuse was on a long winning streak, Tyler Ennis made the amazing buzzer beater at Pittsburgh. When you win every game, you start to believe you will win every game.
How else do you describe moments like in OT, when Trey Pinkney was about to turn it over, but he somehow miraculously rolled the ball to Jacob Parker who picked it up and nailed a shot before the shot clock expired? SFA's golden horseshoe has not expired yet.
Finally, I must say that in a tournament full of upsets, almost none were completely out of nowhere. Many experts thought Harvard was a better team than Cincinnati. I knew Duke was a bad defensive team. But SFA's win truly came out of left field. Even with the 28 game winning streak, this was a hugely under-sized team. And even without Melvin Johnson, VCU's HAVOC defense was dominant in the second half. VCU built a double digit lead and seemingly put the game away. This comeback was truly what March Madness is all about.
#1 Virginia defeated #16 Coastal Carolina
#1 Arizona defeated #16 Weber St.
#1 Wichita St. defeated #16 Cal Poly
It still hasn't happened. But wow, there sure is an exhilarating feeling when you flip over and see Coastal Carolina leading Virginia by 10 points in the first half. Meanwhile Arizona's close win against Weber St. knocked them out of first place in the Pomeroy rankings for the first time since January 1st.
#3 Iowa St. defeated #14 North Carolina Central
According to Marv Albert, Emanuel "Poobie" Chapman is called this because he could not pronounce "Winnie the Pooh" when he was a kid. Steve Kerr is skeptical of Albert's internet research. Yes, this game was a blowout.
The big story of the game was that Iowa St.'s Georges Niang broke his foot late in the game and will be out for the remainder of the tournament.
#8 Kentucky defeated #9 Kansas St.
Kansas St. made a late run in this game, but for the first time in a long-time, Kentucky's defense looked like it might be national championship caliber. I also thought Greg Anthony had a nice comment at the end of the game. In the preseason, Kentucky thought they would be undefeated. Now on Sunday, they get to play a team that is undefeated. The hype for Wichita St. vs Kentucky is just beginning. This is going to be the most watched Round of 32 game in a long time.
#4 UCLA defeated #13 Tulsa
Remember in the preseason when everyone was writing about how UCLA didn't have a clear answer at PG. Well, all Kyle Anderson has done is become an All-American candidate as an elite distributor. But as the team showed on Friday, even if Anderson is off (5 turnovers), UCLA still has plenty of other players who can distribute. Jordan Adams took over offensively at the start of the second half and really broke the game open. And over the course of the game Adams dished 4 assists. Meanwhile Bryce Alford had 4 assists of his own, and should have had a fifth on a beautiful no look pass to Tony Parker in the lane. But Parker missed the lay-up and cost Alford the dime. Regardless, UCLA's willingness to share the ball stands in stark contrast to last year when Shabazz Muhammad had just 27 assists on the whole season. This is a less selfish team than last year's squad, and that's a good sign if this year's team wants to go on a run.

Quick Facts:
Elevation: 6,280 Feet
Number of Sites: 9
Reservation Status: Only for Group Site
The Dog Canyon area lies in a secluded, forested canyon on the north side of the park. Due to the higher elevation it remains cooler than Pine Springs campground in the summer. The campground has 9 tent sites and 4 RV sites (no hookups, no dump station). Restrooms have sinks and flush toilets, but no showers.
Skunks and other small mammals roam the campground at night. These animals are attracted to food odors. Prevent encounters by keeping campsites free of food scraps. Dispose of scraps and other garbage in trash receptacles. Store food, including pet food, in vehicles, not in tents. Do not use the faucets in the campground for dish washing or bathing. Wash dishes in the utility sink behind the restrooms. Discharge of dishwater or gray water onto the ground is not permitted. Use the utility sinks for their disposal. The closest free RV dump station is off Canyon Street in Carlsbad, NM. RV water tanks can be filled from an outside water faucet near the registration board.
Pets on leashed are permitted in the campground, but are not allowed on most park trails because they disturb park wildlife and other visitors. Leashed pets may be exercised on the trail between the campground and Headquarters Visitor Center and the Pinery Trail at the Visitor Center. Please clean up after your pet. Park wildlife may carry plague or rabies. Do not allow your pet near animals or their dens or burrows. Pets may not be left unattended. The nearest kennel service is at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
Wood and charcoal fires are strictly prohibited due to generally dry weather conditions and intermittent high winds. Containerized fuel camp stoves are permitted.

To talk about walnut in the context of my woodworking adventure, I'd have to literally start at the very beginning.
Shortly before I was born, an ice storm brought down a massive black walnut tree on a family member's farm nearby. When my parents helped with the cleanup, they were given the wood in the hopes that it could be turned into lumber and one day be made into a desk for me. About fifteen years later, I don't think anyone would have guessed that I was the one who'd be using it to build a computer desk in preparation for high school.
It was the biggest project I had undertaken to date and has since been surpassed by a number of others, but it still stands out as a monument to my progress.
A significant way into a career with the US Air Force later, walnut has again been a defining piece of the adventure: Over the last few years, I've been asked again and again to build flag cases and shadow boxes for retirements and going-away gifts. While each one of them has been an honor, they don't stand out equally. I turned a simple one around in three days but also built one for my grandfather, a lifelong carpenter and WWII Air Corps veteran, upon his passing (using wood from the private stock of black walnut plus my great-grandfather's tools; think about that for a second).
Last month I was asked to build our Wing's going-away gift to our 2-star General. This was the first time I had been asked to build anything for a flag officer so I wasn't going to cut any corners.
The requirement was to hold four fragments donated from each of the wing's four groups. I came up with what I thought would be an interesting design, however, I didn't count on not receiving all of the parts at once (the last one showed up 3 days before it had to be finished), nor that they'd be different sizes. I originally wanted the cross, which I had never seen before in a shadow box, along with four smaller boxes tucked into each corner.
Nearly every tool in the shop saw service in its construction, along with almost every skill in the LJ dropdown box. Each of the five boxes was constructed with through-dovetails for strength but since they all had different depths, each one required separate settings and needed to be built individually on the jig. Face frames made of highly-figured walnut required flawless miters and were attached to the front of each box. The circles behind each coin were turned using a screw chuck on the lathe, with thin lines on each face to prove they weren't built on a router. Additionally, each coin had to be individually sized to fit.
The intarsia flag/guidon was similar to what I built in 2012 for another commander, but this one tripled the number of pieces and added a dozen tiny stars to be shaped. Each piece was stained or dyed individually and then glued into place.
The lines burned into the back are from the prelude to Aer Vis, the Air Force tribute written by TheWarriorSong, which I highly recommend to all of my fellow veterans.
All told, this was one of the most technically demanding projects I've undertaken to date under an extremely pressing schedule and the realization of a goal to build something for a flag officer. I don't think it could be a better testament to walnut or American woodworking without integrating the stock from a M1 Garand.
Thank you for your interest.

You ought to get an M1 Garand for the work! Did you do this for free? If so, I have a simple family coat of arms that I am sure, since I am a Navy Vet from the '70s, deserve. All kidding aside, I hope you were appropriately compensated for your efforts! And I'll make my own coat of arms, eventually, in my free time when I retire.

Gauging US-Burma relations in 2012
Obama with Myanmar's Opposition Leader 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
The reestablishment of US-Burma relations in 2012 was the outcome of years of
diplomatic maneuvering following the downgrading of US representation in Burma
from ambassador to chargé d'affaires in the aftermath of 1988's democratic
uprising and the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) military
government's refusal to acknowledge the 1990 general election results. It was
also a result of the US government's dual-track, carrot- and-stick
policy.As a condition for normalizing bilateral relations, the US
government made some fundamental demands: the release of all political prisoners
(approximately 2,000, held in prisons across Burma in the beginning of 2012),
inclusive dialogue with opposition parties and ethnic minorities, adherence to
the UN non-proliferation agreements on nuclear weapons and the ending of any
illicit cooperation with North Korea, greater accountability on human rights
issues, and ending violence against ethnic minorities.The US government
also asked the Burmese government to hold free and fair
by-elections.Firstly, a total of 651 political prisoners were either
released or offered presidential pardon by the Burmese government on January 13.
Those released included prominent political prisoners, including leaders of the
1988 democratic uprising, the ex-military intelligence chief and deposed prime
minister General Khin Nyunt, and ethnic Shan leaders Hkun Htun Oo and Sai Nyunt
Lwin, who were sentenced to 93 and 85 years in prison
respectively.Secondly, the Thein Sein government signed cease-fire
agreements with several ethnic armed groups: Arakan Liberation Party (ALP), Chin
National Front (CNF), Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP), Karen National
Union (KNU), Karen Peace Council (KPC), National Socialist Council of Nagaland-
Khaplang (NSCN-K), New Mon State Party (NMSP), Pa-O National Liberation Army
(PNLA), and Shan State Army-North (SSAN).Thirdly, the government held
April by-elections successfully. The NLD won in 43 of the 44 seats it contested.
One seat each was won by the ruling USDP and the Shan Nationalities Democratic
Party (SNDP). The USDP candidate captured the seat where the NLD candidate was
disqualified. The SNDP won a seat from the Shan state. The participation of NLD
and other political parties associated with ethnic minorities boosted the
government's claim for legitimacy and credibility of its seven-step "road-map"
toward democracy that initially began in 2003.As the Obama
administration promised to reciprocate action for action, Derek Mitchell,
Special Representative and Policy Coordinator for Burma, was confirmed as the
new US ambassador on June 29. The US investment sanctions were lifted on July
11, which was followed by the suspension of import bans on goods from Burma on
September 27. The lifting of investment sanctions enabled US companies and
international financial institutions such as the World Bank and International
Monetary Fund to begin reestablishing links with Burma.In reestablishing
relations with Burma, the US has achieved four important things: the triumph of
diplomacy over isolation; assurance that Burma has not engaged in any illicit
engagement with North Korea on nuclear programs; reinforced its role as a symbol
of democracy and human rights around the world; and a firmer foundation for its
presence in Southeast Asia.In addition, the improvement of relations
enabled the US government to reestablish the US Agency for International
Development (USAID) mission to Burma, lend support for a normal UN Development
Program (UNDP) country program, and facilitate travel to the US for select
Burmese officials and parliamentarians. It also paved the way for US and Burma
to cooperate on the recovery of Americans missing in action or prisoners of war
from World War II.By improving bilateral relations with the United
States, the Burmese government achieved its long-sought goal of
legitimacy.Until the April by-elections, the US and other Western
nations still considered the results of the 2010 general elections
unrepresentative of the people. The other major achievement was the lifting of
sanctions.The positive diplomacy culminated in President Barack Obama's
visit to Burma on November 19, the first-ever visit by a sitting US president.
The historic visit was, however, criticized by several rights groups, that
argued it was premature to make such a high-profile visit when violence still
continued in Kachin and Rakhine states, and when political prisoners still
remained behind bars. The Obama administration said the president's visit was to
acknowledge the democratic reforms and to encourage further reforms.On a
positive note, both governments must be congratulated for taking the necessary
steps to improve bilateral relations. However, the primary concern now is
whether political gestures from the Burmese government will lead to addressing
ethnic minority problems, which remain the crux of decades-old conflicts in the
country.When can the Burmese government sign cease-fire agreement with
ethnic Kachins, and will the signed cease-fire agreements with various groups
lead to guaranteeing autonomy? Moreover, will the 2008 constitution be amended
to remove the inherent role of the military in politics, which currently
guarantees 25 percent of seats in the parliament without election? Will all
remaining political prisoners be released unconditionally? Can the Rohingya
problem be resolved amicably? Uncertainty remains as to how the US government
will respond in case of the non-fulfillment of these
expectations.Overall, 2012 was a significant year in terms of diplomatic
rapprochement.Nevertheless, the longevity and durability of bilateral
relations between the two nations will be contingent upon how democratic
transition progresses inside Burma.Te writer is general secretary of the
US-based Kuki International Forum. His research focuses on the politics
of South and Southeast Asia, with a concentration on Burma/ Myanmar. His latest
article, titled "US-Burma Relations: Change of Politics under Bush and Obama
Administrations," is scheduled for publication in Strategic Analysis by
Routledge in March 2013.

It was 30 years ago that the Clemson Tigers last traveled to Miami for the Orange Bowl. That year, the football team won it all, and this year, the football team hopes to get their 10th win.
Classic songs like "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Jessie's Girl" were still new when the Tigers beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers 22 to 15 in 1982.
Ronald Reagan was president, and just as the season started in 1981, MTV first aired.
That year, an average home cost a little more than $78,000. The average rent paid was just $315. Drivers could buy a gallon of gas for a $1.25.
Head coach Dabo Swinney said the objective over the years - to win - has stayed the same.
This past weekend, Swinney was the first from Clemson to win "National Coach of the Year" since 1981. Back then, it was the legendary Danny Ford who brought his tigers to the Orange Bowl, when they won the National Championship.
This week, the Tigers may be singing 1981's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" to the Mountaineers. Clemson takes on West Virginia Wednesday night at 8 p.m.

New Polymer–Antibiotic Combo Targets MRSA
Treatment causes bacteria to burst
In the continuing fight against "superbugs," scientists at the University of South Carolina have discovered a class of agents that appears to make some of the most notorious strains vulnerable to the same antibiotics that they once shrugged off. The report on the promising agents, called metallopolymers, appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The authors note that the antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) are responsible for a significant proportion of the infections that patients acquire in hospitals. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, MRSA usually spreads in hospitals when a health care provider with contaminated hands unknowingly passes the bug along to a patient. The infection can cause serious problems, such as pneumonia, and can lead to death.
One of the ways MRSA undermines conventional treatments is by producing enzymes that inactivate traditional antibiotics, such as penicillin. Scientists have been developing new agents to combat these enzymes, but so far these treatments have fallen short.
In the new report, researchers tested a recently discovered class of metallopolymers — large, metal-containing molecules — against several strains of MRSA. When paired with the same antibiotics MRSA normally dispatches with ease, the polymer–antibiotic combination evaded the bacteria's defensive enzymes and destroyed their protective walls, causing the bacteria to burst. Moreover, the metallopolymers mostly left red blood cells alone, which suggests they might have minimal side effects.
"These discoveries could pave a new platform to design antibiotics and antimicrobial agents to battle multidrug-resistant bacteria and superbugs," the researchers state.

City Of Forsyth26 N Jackson St, Forsyth, GA 31029
Email this business
(478) 994-5649 Additional Contacts
History: The town of Forsyth came into existence in 1822 after the new county of Monroe was created. The town was incorporated and made the county seat by an act of the General Assembly, December 10, 1823. The following pioneer residents were named as commissioners: James S. Phillips, Henry H. Lumpkin, John E. Bailey, Anderson Baldwin, and Samuel Drewry. Land for the city was purchased from John T. Booth, on February 18, 1823, for the sum of $700 for his 202 B= acre land lot, number 171. The town was laid off into lots of two and one-half acres each, which afforded ample room for garden plots and spacious green lawns. The city limits consisted of a circular area with a radius of B= mile from the courthouse square. By 1827, Forsyth contained 70 houses and stores, an academy, a house of worship for Baptists, and an elegant courthouse and jail. The first brick store in Forsyth was built by Cyrus Sharp. The first courthouse was built of logs. Forsyth experienced intensive commercial growth between the mid 19th and early 20th centuries. This growth was brought to the area by the arrival of the railroad in 1838 (Forsyth is home to the first passenger rail service in Georgia), 19th century cotton agriculture (farming and 2 cotton mills), and the opening of Tift College in 1849 (2nd oldest founded female college in the world).

Obama is a feckless Islamophile who despises Israel and Netanyahu. He had the audacity to tell Bibi that "...there is no evidence that Iran has decided to construct a nuclear weapon..." Israel must do what Israel must do to neutralize the Iranian threat. Anyone who truly believes that Obama is pro-Israeli is ignorant of Obama's history.

"The Gala was a very successful event, and we have more planned in the near future. Our kids are worth it, and we know that our community is behind the effort," said Board Chair Sue Kristjansson.
The organization has now raised enough funding to hire staff and begin serving Menifee's families, according to a press release sent out by board members. This summer, there will be children enrolled in the programs that offer activities designed to build social skills, responsibility and character.
There is still much more funding needed to create programs that require supplies and equipment. Board members have been placing donation jars at local businesses and restaurants, hoping to solicit a few more needed dollars to help kick off this summer's programs.
"We thank our local business owners, like Abe Ibrahim at Boston Billie's restaurant (above), who are helping spread the word to their customers, and assisting with collecting funds for Menifee's youth," said Board member Bill Zimmerman. "There is a real community spirit here, and we appreciate all of our volunteers and donors."
Another local supporter is Robbie Motter, who is the Western & Mid Atlantic Regional Coordinator for the National Association of Female Executives. She put together a fun opportunity to raise additional funds for the Boys & Girls Club. More than 50 community members took a bus trip (below) to see a taping of the Dr. Phil show at Paramount Pictures Studio in Hollywood. Guests donated more than $400, and Dr. Phil donated another $400, according to Motter.
Menifee 24/7 has contributed more than $1,000 toward the effort. Those wishing to donate should visit the club's website.

Topeka Capital Says Twitter's Near-Term Concerns Provide Buying Opportunity
Shares of Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) have moved 1.5 percent higher to $49.50 in Tuesday's trading after Topeka Capital analyst Victor Anthony voiced some near-term concerns for the company
In the note, Anthony voices concerns for Twitter's active user growth for the "next several quarters as company initiatives takes hold." The lock-up expiration in early May could "create share price volatility," the analyst said.
These concerns "create buying opportunities for investors with a longer-term view. Monetization is not an issue for Twitter."
Anthony compares Twitter's current situation to Facebook's mobile monetization problems in the past and believes Twitter's MAU growth concerns are "solvable."

Abilene December home sales up; prices down
Home sales in the city were up in December 2012 compared with a year ago but the average sales price went down, according to the Abilene Association of Realtors, which released the numbers Tuesday.
Abilene real estate agents sold 126 homes last month, 13 more than the same month last year.
The average price was $129,383, compared to $135,597 in December 2011. The median price also dropped. It was $113,250 this December, compared to $122,500 in December 2011.
Total sales last month were $16,302,294, compared with $15,332,439 in December 2011.
Fifteen of the homes sold in December were priced from $200,000-$250,000. Thirteen homes were in the $100,000-$120,000 range and 13 in the $121,000-140,000 range.
Forty-four homes sold within 30 days of being listed. Of the 126 homes, 36 buyers paid in cash, 40 used conventional loans, 22 for FHA, 24 for VA, three were owner-financed and one had "other financing."
There were significant months worth noting in 2012 as far as average prices were concerned, starting with July.
Average prices reached a high of $147,640 that month, after several months of hovering between $140,000 and $144,000.
The July average sales price record didn't last long with August prices coming in at an average of $149,755, the highest average price in the last two years.
But that, too, was short lived.
In November, the average price of a home sold in Abilene soared to $151,599. The median sales price was $138,900, and more homes sold than in November of 2011.
"Our market here in Abilene is very stable: It doesn't move too much up or down," said Steve Stovall of Stovall Realtors. "We don't have a lot of booms or busts."
Stovall said 2012 was better for the local housing market than a year ago. For 2013, well, there may be a lot to be seen.
"There are a lot of rumors of what 2013 is going to bring with the oil kind of coming this way," Stovall said. "But we're going to be ready for that if it happens."
Even if the oil boom to the west of Abilene doesn't reach the local market, the economy is so diversified that it'll remain stable because "we're not just completely dependent on oil," Stovall said.
Nationwide home sales increased in November for the third straight month and reached the highest level in 2 1/2 years, according to the National Association of Realtors, which is slated to release December figures later this month.
The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $180,600 in November, up 10.1 percent from November 2011. This is the ninth consecutive monthly year-over-year price gain, which last occurred from September 2005 to May 2006.
Single-family home sales rose 5.5 percent in November and are 12.4 percent higher than November 2011.
The 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to a record low 3.35 percent in November, mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported.
"There's always uncertainty on what the government is going to do, but we're in the type of market right now (here in Abilene) it's a win-win situation for both buyers and sellers," Stovall said, talking about low interest rates. "From a buyers' standpoint, it just can't get any lower than this."
