Tips About Starting a Hyperlocal Web Site
By Jan Schaffer
For those seeking to venture into the hyperlocal sphere—whether affiliated with a news organization or not—we've developed tips through observation and study. —J.S.
1. Get ready for a high-touch experience:
Citizen journalists won't join the effort unless cajoled, recruited, trained, stroked, celebrated and sometimes paid. Content wranglers must be evangelists, cheerleaders, assignment editors, and writers. Travis Henry, top editor of YourHub.com in Denver, has taken local contributors to Broncos' games and made house calls to teach someone how to load to the site. In Dutton, University of Montana journalism students coauthored early stories with local contributors to help build confidence. And when MyMissourian.com founder Clyde Bentley discovered that a local bluegrass band got a grant to go to China, he "gave them an old computer, set them up a blog and a Flickr account." They sent e-mails, and he posted what they sent. "We got incredible readership on this thing, and we all saw more of China than we ever would," he explained.
2. Understand contributors' motivations.
Robust user-generated content demands a measure of equilibrium between the giving and the getting. Volunteers will write or report if they are getting something in return. What motivates them? They might want to learn technical skills or get a job as a journalist, make a difference in
The Forum
– forumhome.org/
their community or solve a problem. Said one citizen reporter for The Forum in Deerfield, New Hampshire: "My experience working as a Forum reporter has been one of the best experiences of my life. At times, I feel used, overworked and run out of words in my head to place on the screen. But it is all worth it in the end."
3. Model content:
Seed the site with the kind of stories you hope others will contribute. Write a mission statement. BlufftonToday.com promises to provide a "friendly, safe, easy to use place" on the Web for people to post and share. "In return, we ask that you meet this character challenge: Be a good citizen and exhibit community leadership qualities. It's a simple and golden rule. Act as you would like your neighbors to act." "We've had almost no complaints about inaccurate information," said iBrattleboro cofounder Lise LePage. "Citizen journalism is always going to be advocacy. They attend a meeting because they have a reason for being there, but that doesn't mean their coverage is going to be inaccurate."
4. See and be seen.
Invest in face time in your community. Attend meetings, state fairs, and sports events. "Most of the community stories come from my going out and relentlessly talking to people," said Barb Iverson, cofounder of CreatingCommunityConnections.org.
"Journalism: Its Interaction With Hyperlocal Web Sites"
– Mark Potts
"Going Local: Knowing Readers Is Essential"
– Liz George
Mark Potts, a founder of the now-shuttered Backfence.com, said: "It's the garden club. It's the stoplight down their street that isn't working or the principal who's been fired. If you don't live there, you don't care."
5. Tap existing assets.
Pay attention to what the community tells you is important. When The Bakersfield Californian launched Bakotopia.com, local bands made it the place to share information about local musicians. Bicycling is so popular in Chicago that those who do it insisted it be a separate "beat" from "transportation" on CreatingCommunityConnections.org.
6. Open doors for participation.
iBrattleboro.com has an assignment desk that seeks volunteers to cover town meetings and events. In Appalachia, Appalshop radio trains community correspondents to produce news stories for broadcast. NewWest.net—whose territory stretches across six Western states—offers those who write their own "MyPages."
Appalshop radio
– appalshop.org/
7. Rethink "news."
Citizens define "news" very differently than do traditional news outlets. Rarely do they engage in scorecard journalism: Who's up or who's down today? Nor do they "balance" stories by creating false equilibriums; if someone is in favor of something, they won't run around to try to find someone who's against it. Important, too, for the community, they don't require conflict before telling a story; they use their words to validate consensus, as well. For some sites, it's enough to run the minutes of a town meeting.
8. Find partnerships.
When CreatingCommunityConnections.org found Chicago aldermen hiring their relatives, the editors offered to also break the story on The Beachwood Reporter, a nearby hyperlocal Web site, to help juice traffic and impact. Most news organizations consider it unthinkable to share enterprise stories.
9. Don't sweat the math.
Appalshop trained 13 producers, but only five are regularly producing. MadisonCommons.org has trained more than 70 citizen journalists but only a handful contribute. It's common to have fewer than 10 percent of those who agree to contribute actually do it.
10. Build the business as it comes.
The editors of Baristanet.com will barter ads for hair care and dry cleaning. NewWest.net supports activities with revenues from an indoor advertising company. TCDailyPlanet.net has attracted grants from several community foundations.

This week, we're going to look at concrete matters: how to improve your DPS in a raid. I've compiled four helpful tips to help ferals in their quest for blood, destruction, and nice purples.
1. Work out keybindings and movement. While you're still learning your rotation, clicking your abilities is fine. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to succeed in a raid setting as a "clicker." Our primary DPS ability is facing-dependent, necessitating constant awareness of our position. Modern encounters are heavy on quick-reaction movement. By keybinding your main abilities, you'll be able to free up your mouse for situational awareness and positioning.
Personally, I use keys 1 through 5 for my most commonly used abilities (Shred, Rake, Mangle,Tiger's Fury, Faerie Fire), Shift-1 through Shift-5 for finishers and cooldowns (Rip, Savage Roar, Ferocious Bite, Maim, Berserk), and Alt-1 to Alt-5 for shapeshifts, which flip the first two rows to separate abilities. At this point, I ran out of keys I wanted to use, so I mapped the remaining critical abilities to mouse buttons. I have a four-way mouse wheel/button, so middle-click is my Feral Charge/Ravage macro, mouse wheel left is Barkskin, mouse wheel right is Survival Instincts, mouse wheel up is Dash, and mouse wheel down is Stampeding Roar.
If you don't want to use the mouse for abilities, the ~/Q/E/R/F keys are easily rebindable and easy to reach, if you're using the typical WASD setup. (Also, make sure A and D are used for strafe, not turn; all your camera movement should be via mouse.) This will change a bit with the new tier 13 set bonus, as I'll have to find another button for Ravage, but this setup is perfectly workable for raiding. If it's not listed here, it's something you're probably safe clicking. Everyone has their own setup for keybinds, so feel free to experiment and use what works best for you.
Once you work out your keybinds, then practice! If I listed it above, you need to be able to use it on the move. Once you can execute a full rotation and stay in melee range of a boss that your crazy tank is dragging all over the place, you'll see a large DPS increase. Once you master that, than start mixing in your movement abilities. Whenever you need to close a gap, Feral Charge. Whenever you need to run out and back in, Dash or Stampeding Roar, etc. Maximize your melee time, and you'll see your DPS improve markedly.
2. Get used to quicker (or no) global cooldowns. Feral druids, rogues, and death knights (in unholy presence) are the only DPS classes in the game with a 1-second global cooldown. This means a couple things. First, if you're coming to feral from a 1.5-second GCD class, you'll have to adjust to pressing your buttons significantly faster. (It also means playing another melee class after one of those feels unbearably slow.) This doesn't mean you always want to be spamming abilities heedlessly; after all, maintaining high uptimes on Rip, Rake, and Savage Roar is still the key to feral DPS. During things like Berserk, though, hammer away on that Shred key.
Second, realize that there are a few abilities with no global cooldown at all — specifically, Tiger's Fury and Survival Instincts. You'll definitely want to get in the habit of hitting TF and the next ability you want to use simultaneously, since you want to get off as many abilities as you can while under the 15%+ damage from TF.
3. Manage your energy regeneration. Back when I played a caster, I asked my raid leader for tips on how to improve my DPS. His response: "Just follow your ABCs: 'Always Be Casting.' We can work on your spell selection for marginal improvements, but ensuring you always have a spell queued will greatly improve your numbers." Thankfully, we ferals don't work quite like that, but it's similar.
The only time you want to see a full energy bar is before the fight starts. At any other time, full energy (or energy capping) means you're not regenerating energy, which is a large waste. If you see that bar get to 90, just go ahead and hit Mangle. It's probably not the optimal choice in the situation you're in, but it'll always work and prevent your energy from capping for a couple of seconds while you figure out where you are in your rotation.
The concept of energy pooling is similar; just as too much energy is bad, too little is also bad (though not as terrible). If all of your DoTs and Savage Roar is up and you're simply Shredding, there's no reason to hit the button as soon as it lights up. Delay a few seconds, let your energy get to 70 to 80, then Shred. Getting into this habit will prevent you from encountering situations where you're low on energy and multiple DoTs are expiring, killing your uptime.
4. Maintain chemical superiority. Potions of the Tol'Vir are frequently overlooked by many players, and I don't understand why. First, they're not that expensive; according to The Undermine Journal, they only run about 10g each or, if you're willing to buy the components for your neighborhood alchemist, less than 5g each. A few dailies should give you enough for a stack. Second, they have a significant impact. A single potion (used in conjunction with Berserk for best effect) will boost your DPS by 10% to 15% during the duration, giving you an overall boost of about ~2%.
That's not even addressing pre-potting. Simply, this means taking a potion immediately before your tank pulls. Since you're not in combat yet, the one potion per fight rule doesn't kick in, so you only have to wait for the standard 2-minute potion cooldown to use another, typically with your second Berserk. This doesn't work on all fights, but if you can get your tank to count down his pull over voice chat, you'll be able to reap the benefits of most of the second potion.

The Meissner effect is a phenomenon in quantum physics in which a superconductor negates all magnetic fields inside of the superconducting material. It does this by creating small currents along the surface of the superconductor, which has the effect of cancelling out all magnetic fields that would come in contact with the material. One of the most intriguing aspects of the Meissner effect is that it allows for a process that has come to be called quantum levitation.
The Meissner effect was discovered in 1933 by German physicists Walther Meissner and Robert Ochsenfeld. They were measuring the magnetic field intensity surrounding certain materials and found that, when the materials were cooled to the point that they became superconducting, the magnetic field intensity dropped to nearly zero.
The reason for this is that in a superconductor, electrons are able to flow with virtually no resistance. This makes it very easy for small currents to form on the surface of the material. When the magnetic field comes near to the surface, it causes the electrons to begin flowing. Small currents are then created on the surface of the material, and these currents have the effect of cancelling out the magnetic field.

There are certain truths we must all accept in our lives. One is that we will most likely never drive a golf ball as far as Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson. For this reason and so many others, we have installed our very own miniature golf course. Stay out of the spotlight in our fun filled course and play with the entire family!
As a child your imagination is unlimited and your creativity has no boundaries. To help you through the many amazing adventures you'll invent as a child, we present our playground. Swing across monkey bars, speed down slides, battle to keep your balance and well, just have fun!
Boat Rentals
As much as we all love water and all the activities that come with it, there are different levels at which we choose to enjoy those activities. This is why we offer numerous different ways to enjoy a day on the water. From basic paddle boats to sleek kayaks and stand up paddle boarding to pontoon boats and houseboats there is something for you.
Bike Rentals
Sure, you could walk around our campground and enjoy the scenic beauty at a nice leisurely pace. For the more adventurous though, we present our awesome pedal cart track. Use your leg muscles and power your way to victory one lap at a time, only at the Prizer Point KOA.

Capital Flight, External Debt and Domestic Policies
AbstractIt is now well documented that capital flight has been a dominant feature of capital movements between developing and industrial countries. Since 1988 reductions in the stock of flight capital more than account for private capital flows to emerging markets. This suggests that what appears to be a diversification of portfolios of residents of developed countries may be a restoration of 'home bias' in the portfolios of residents of developing countries. We show that changes in the stock of capital flight can increase or decrease welfare depending on the structure of distortionary taxes and subsidies on capital income and the effects of capital flight on the tax base.

richmond ind school dress code
The question nobody seems to be asking Dr Bourff is...."What distractions were clothes causing in the first place" Were the clothes kids wearing causing a distraction, or did some administrators (and let's get this straight, the administrators are the ones to blame, NOT the teachers) feel that the dress COULD cause a distraction and wanted to act in advance. I'd be curious to exactly how many or what kind of distractions were happening to cause this. Also, I know that the teachers are probably as made about this as the parents. It's not like they don't already have enough to do in teaching our kids that now they also have to spend time inspecting shirts for logos or sending kids to the principal. That takes up time they could be actually teaching. I would agree that they only way this will change is to remove the board AND then the new board remove the superintendant. They need to find someone who's more worried about the kids than the rules and stop focusing on the small stuff.i fell you should wear what u want to school as long as no parts of your body is showing. my kids will wear what they want i am on a fixed income and allready got school clothes for then before i heard about this if u fill the same as me please sign this just maybe we can make a change

Errr...this thread looks like an instant flamewar.
Feb 12, 2003, 07:17 PM
What going on here?
I feel that soon very soon ... people on here are going to request a different section for religion as they have done with politics. Further dividing the forums. Community Discussion will soon be a place for only non serious and or silly topics/ comedy etc. (not that there is anything wrong with it) . I could be wrong just putting my 2 cents in for whatever its worth. But posts like this herald the coming of such a time.

If you dont believe it, that should be it, what is the point in getting someone elses views on why they do not believe it too. If you are trying to find if it is true then reading these books will not help. The only reason you want to read an opinion like this is when you deciding on something, not when you have made up your minds already.
You christian haters out there should got out and GET A LIFE!!!!! You don't like christians, thats your problem, but do something else more productive with your time than to justify your decisions. Which is all you lot are trying to do, all why would you even care?

How can anyone boo this LEGEND? I have never been as entertained during a sporting event as I was for the first 2 rounds of the fight today. Silva transcends the sport, and shows a level of dominance no Mixed Martial Arts fighter has ever shown before. I have never seen another athlete from any other sport show such distance between himself and the competition around him. He makes other trained professionals look like complete amateurs.
People complain that GSP and Anderson Silva are boring, but forget that dominance is what bores them. No one can stay champion and fight Griffin/Bonnar style fights against top competition and consistently win. If you are on such a higher level than your opponent its just not possible to do so, without playing down to your competition. Until Silva is placed in the Octagon with someone who can honestly challenge him, the lack of drama will continue. So what does he do? He puts on a show. I don't know what people want? Would you of been entertained if Silva walked in and KO'd Maia in 45 seconds and went home? I wouldn't of been. After the first round I turned to my friend and said I could watch this all day, and he agreed (this was the first MMA event he ever watched).
This is Martial ARTS people, can you not appreciate a truly unique and amazing artist? All the "hardcores" are very eager to jump on the "rednecks" who scream "ground fighting is for queers" and "We want Blood" but are you any different? Would seeing Maia lay there unconscious after a punch made the event that much more enjoyable? The goal of fighting is to inflict the most damage to your opponent with taking the least amount of damage yourself, that's what Silva does. And he doesn't do it by laying on top of his opponent for 25 minutes, he does so standing up leaving himself open for a fluke KO punch. Give me 25 minutes of Silva's stand-up mastery before 25 minutes of positional dominance on the ground any day.
Is everyone so brainwashed by the UFC media that they can not see what is going on here? Silva has been pushing for BIG fights forever and has tried everything to get them. He has annihilated all the top 185er's, moved up to destroy former 205 champ Forrest Griffin, called out Frank Mir, called out Roy Jones (in a boxing match), wants to fight for the 170, 205, and Heavyweight belt. And what does he get? He is still fighting the Damien Maia's of the world. Anderson made it clear during the Cote and Leities fight that if you put him in there with someone who doesn't excite and challenge him he won't just give you a KO to put on your next countdown show. He is going to make it fun for himself, and showcase his skills.
A majority of "hardcores" bash Dana White non-stop for the horrible way he treats fighters and his constant stream of BS, but hate Silva when he stands up for himself? Silva should be the hero to all the "hardcores" and to all men in general. Anyone can be a keyboard warrior and bash Dana White and say what he should do, but Silva is in the position to actually do something about it and stick it to Dana, and thats what he is doing. He is fighting the MAN and winning. Dana lost today and thats great to see, he can not control fighters. He has grown to be insanely power hungry and wants nothing more than to be able to dictate to fighters who and how they fight. He found out again today, he can't. What is he going to do cut Silva? This isn't Jon Fitch or War Machine. Silva is still one of the biggest stars in MMA, and would MAKE another promotion.
Silva's actions are just bringing Dana White's true colors to light. He does not conduct this as a true sport, and the sports growth will forever be limited as long as he is in charge of the largest promotion. Could you imagine Gary Bettman (NHL commissioner) walking down to the Red Wings bench in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals and screaming at the coach to pull the goalie because they are up by 4 and need the game to be more exciting? That is essentially what Dana did today.
Silva is the Muhammad Ali of MMA. He dominates with grace and style while fighting the UFC politics at the same time. He refuses to sell out and is everything any man can aspire to be. He is the stuff of legend and will be appreciated much more by future generations than he is now.

By Andrea Price, Category: Online Classes
As a teacher, you always have to keep on learning to refresh yourself in your career. Once you're determined to become a teacher, you'll be making a personal commitment to lifelong learning. In fact, continuing education is not only for your students. What's more, you always have to learn more for yourself.
However, it's almost impossible to enroll in a continuing education program because of teachers' time constraints. If you'd like to get the necessary continuing professional education, online classes may be the right solution for your needs. Then you do not need to drive to a college campus or training center. Instead, all classes can be taken anytime, anywhere you wish.
Why online continuing education is important for teachers?
Whether you're teaching at middle school, high school or college level, you always need to take a refresher course to improve your skills in various teaching-related areas. Taking online classes can bring various benefits. When compared with traditional classes, online courses can offer the same quality of regular continuing education.
Through online continuing education, you'll access experienced instructors and acquire necessary knowledge to improve your skills as a teacher. In order to keep teacher certification, you'll be also required to complete a certain amount of continuing professional education hours during a specific period of time. Online continuing education can also help you.
What's more, you can enjoy optimized flexibility and convenience while taking online classes. You'll be allowed to choose to log in to your course at a convenient time. Online continuing education can be completed from any place you prefer, like your home, the school or even some public places. Whether you want to sharpen your teaching skills or improve student performance in the classroom, online continuing education will be the right solution to achieve your professional goals.
What are some top-rated online programs for teachers?
Given the fact that teachers can benefit from online classes, various online programs are specifically created for professional teachers. Several top-rated programs are introduced below.
• University of Phoenix Continuing Education for Teachers
University of Phoenix offers a wide range of individual courses for educators who want to keep up with the latest instructional strategies and methods. Both continuing teacher education and test-preparation courses are available. University of Phoenix offers flexible learning schedules. If you cannot find a nearby location to attend classes, online courses will be serving as good alternatives.
University of Phoenix tries to give exceptional educators maximum convenience. Most online courses can be taken weekly throughout the year. Generally almost each online course can be completed in as little as six weeks. A broad catalog of courses are offered, including adult education, bilingual education, special education, online teaching, foundations of education, teacher leadership, technology in the classroom and elementary methods etc.
Here, I'll just take one course for example. University of Phoenix offers online, K-12 teaching courses. These online courses are created to help teachers build the foundation and insight that will be needed to switch from traditional physical classroom to online teaching. These classes will teach you current trends and promising practices in online education. The online teaching courses can be taken for various purposes. Whether you're seeking pure professional development or meeting certain criteria for endorsements or recertification, the online courses can be helpful to you.
• Grand Canyon University Online Continuing Education for Teachers
Are you looking for certification renewal, endorsements or upward mobility? Grand Canyon University is a great choice if you are interested in earning graduate-level continuing education credits. Various courses are offered completely online for teachers to earn credits for endorsements and certification renewal. Generally, you can choose from 5 areas of courses based on your interest, including administration, political science, reading, special education and teaching strategies & methods.
If you have any interest in administration, three courses will be available: data-driven decisions for school improvement, supervision & instructional leadership and school finance. For teachers who want to earn credits in political science, they can take the course of Arizona and federal government. As for three other online continuing education areas, a variety of courses are offered.
By taking any of these online courses, teachers can earn 3 credits in just 3 weeks. Grand Canyon University will charge $150 per credit. If you want to enroll in these courses, just complete the online application. Then you'll be contacted by an enrollment counselor.
• University of San Diego Division of Continuing Education
Whether you're looking for engaging courses to renew your teaching license or earn graduate credit for teaching career advancement, the University of San Diego Continuing Education Department can be a convenient option to get what you need. You can choose from various courses in different programs:
• Mobile technology learning certificate program – Courses are designed to equip teachers with instruction skills needed in a mobile technology learning environment. Educators can learn how to integrate existing and emerging technologies, like iPads, iPods and e-readers into the classroom learning.
• Teacher leadership certificate program – If you want to take the next step to school administration or prefer to take on more leadership roles on campus, this certificate program will be the best bet for you. You just need to complete five courses to earn the certificate. All courses are offered 100% online.
USC Division of Continuing Education also provides a large array of online professional growth courses for teachers, such as teaching methods for diverse learners, balanced literacy in action, teaching positive social skills to students and reading & writing in the digital age etc. All these online classes can be taken based on your own time schedule.
In fact, the courses mentioned above are not offered for free. However teachers can also take advantage of some free online classes. But remember these free courses cannot be counted toward credit earning. Free online courses are always offered through a learning system (Open Courseware). Various well-respected universities, like MIT and University of Michigan also offer free classes through Open Courseware for teachers. These free courses are useful to teachers who are looking to improve their teaching skills.
I am a teacher and I think it's really necessary to improve my teaching skills and broaden my horizon. Because I don't have so much time to enroll in campus learning, I choose the online learning instead. I can have online classes in the evening after coming back from school.
I totally agree with you! Online continuing education is of great importance to all teachers. A qualified teacher should always update his/her skills and insist on lifelong learning. The three recommendations of online programs for teachers are excellent. Many of us might consider choosing one to take online classes.
To be frank with you, among all these online programs for teachers, I much prefer University of Phoenix continuing education for teachers. Its online courses are ideal for teachers who want to expand their knowledge or meet continuing education guidelines for ongoing certification.
Lifelong learning is extremely important to all teachers. But I don't think online continuing education is the right way. Undoubtedly, online learning offers great flexibility and convenience. Face-to-face learning is more effective, at least it's the case for me. You know, teachers always have many vacations each year. I think vacations are a good time for teachers to refresh themselves. Time is sufficient to attend a refreshing course in a traditional classroom.
A degree in marketing can open up many doors to a wide variety of career fields, such as advertising, public relations, development, financing, customer service and sales. To begin a career in marketing, earning an associate degree in marketing could be a good start. You can learn about marketing and business essentials required for the marketplace. An associate degree in marketing can also put you towards earning a bachelor degree. Read more
As we know, in the US there are six regional accrediting agencies providing accreditation for educational institutions, among which the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) takes charge of the accreditation for the universities, colleges, schools and other educational organizations in its service area.

In today's high-tech world, no corporation can spring up without relying on information technology to control data and other information. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for employment in information technology will continue a 17% rise through the year 2018. The educational requirement begins with an associate degree in information technology. Read more

Fronted by Alex Casnoff, former keyboard player for Dawes and PAPA, Harriet released their debut EP TELL THE RIGHT STORY for free download earlier this year. The five song offering straddles the line between classic Americana songs and the sonic experimentation of electronic music and earned the band praise from NPR Music, Interview, MTV Buzzworthy, and more. The band is currently supporting AC Newman on a run of west coast dates (all dates below).

Read about what happened to the band's Alex Casnoff to inspire the song at the band's Tumblr.
"Harriet blends Americana and electronic music to create a sound that embodies the L.A. rock scene: Its debut EP, TELL THE RIGHT STORY, sounds like a chillwave re-imagination of Kings of Leon or The National. The group combines hoarse vocals, dramatic riffs and electronic flourishes on its debut." NPR Music
"Like the lovechild of Neutral Milk Hotel and Wilco, delivered twenty years late. It's a full-bodied elixir for the heartbreak of a crashing American Dream." Neon Gold
"Casnoff writes with a distinctive kind of fire that's like nothing we've heard in a very long time. It feels hurt, wounded and it feels paranoid. It feels delusional and destructive. It feels so damned literary and passionate that you find that you just keep listening, with every other line being so worth revisiting and analyzing even further." Sean Moeller, Daytrotter

Mood-Mellowing Nutrients
By Jack Challem
You notice "the moods" while commuting, waiting in line at the store, or gazing at yourself in the mirror: You're on edge, irritable, impatient, anxious, and jumpy. It's more than just life in the post-9/11 world; research shows that people's moods have actually deteriorated over the past 20 to 30 years.
You can combat negative moods by boosting your neurotransmitters—the brain chemicals that help shape how you feel emotionally and determine your reaction to stress. Problems occur when you don't get enough sleep, skip meals, or succumb to fast foods and thus shortchange yourself of the basic building blocks your body needs to make those neurotransmitters. How do you build a solid foundation for emotional stability? In addition to a healthy diet and balanced lifestyle, these supplements stand out for their ability to improve moods and increase your resiliency to stress.
II B-complex vitamins
Long considered anti-stress vitamins, the Bs help smooth out bumpy moods. For example, your brain needs vitamin B6 to make both serotonin and GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), the two principal calming neurotransmitters. "Don't skimp on the B vitamins," advises Los Angeles-based Hyla Cass, MD, author of Eight Weeks to Vibrant Health (McGraw-Hill, 2005). "Take a high-potency B-complex supplement that provides at least 25 mg daily each of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6."
II L-theanine
An active component in green tea, this amino acid increases the brain's alpha waves—a state often achieved by meditation—so you become deeply relaxed but mentally alert. You can generally feel its effects within 30 minutes; it can last 8 to 12 hours. It doesn't cause drowsiness but does improve the quality of your sleep. Try 200 to 500 mg daily.
II Inositol
Part of the B vitamin complex, inositol helps reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and obsessive-compulsive behavior. Cass recommends 1,500 mg daily, on top of a B-complex supplement (above), since the other B vitamins enhance inositol's mellowing effects.
II Magnesium
This essential dietary mineral reduces all kinds of muscle spasms or twitches, but especially those related to anxiety. Cass suggests 200 mg once or twice daily.
II Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata)
Herbalist Laurel Vukovic, of Ashland, Oregon, recommends passionflower for easing anxiety and a "busy mind," especially when people can't settle down to sleep. Vukovic, author of Overcoming Sleep Disorders Naturally (Basic Health Publications, 2005), suggests using 60 drops of passionflower tincture mixed in a small amount of water.
II Spanish sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia)
In a recent study, British researchers tested an essential oil extract of Spanish sage on a group of 24 college students. After a few drops of the herb, the students reported feeling more alert, calm, and content. The study also reported modest improvements in memory and reaction times.
When you try these calming supplements for the first time, do so at ho...

This is a hot topic all over the Internet right now. What are the 5 foods you must not eat to lose stomach fat?
So, the idea is pretty simple. These foods all have one thing in common. They're all simple carbohydrates. The thing about simple carbs is that they easily turn to sugar once they enter your system. This leads to a spike in blood sugar which, in turn, causes a release of insulin.
When you have high amounts of insulin being released into the body, there are two negative responses that will sabotage fat loss.
First, insulin promotes fat storage. Not so good for fat loss, right?
Second, since insulin is used by the body to regulate blood sugar, the release of insulin will cause blood sugar to drop. When blood sugar drops too low, you're left feeling tired and hungry. Again, this is not how you want to be feeling if you're trying to cut calories.
Now, do you see why these foods could be jeoparizing your fat loss? It's pretty hard to stick to any type of diet or meal plan if you're always feeling tired and hungry.
There you have it, 5 foods you must not eat to lose stomach fat. Eliminating these foods from your diet will have a huge impact on your health and wellness.

From BangItOut:-
Top Ten Good Things to Come Out of the Hamas Election Victory:
10. 95% of winning candidates will probably blow themselves up by end of first term
9. Government officials now easily recognizable from their FBI Most Wanted Terrorist mugshots
8. Finally a government to compete with Iran for prize of Most Psychotic Government
7. Allows AP to title pics of kids dressed in Suicide-Bomber costumes with the line "Kids dress up as favorite Government officials"
6. Palestinian C-Span channel will probably have parental advisory for graphic violence
5. May encourage Al-Quaeda sleeper cell members to abandon terrorist plots in favor of seeking cushy government desk jobs
4. Any political filibuster in the new Pal. government would now probably be deemed as "fighting the war on terror"
3. Now calling the Palestinian government a "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" is just wrong
2. Finally allows for Hammas version of the TV show "West Wing", which promises to be just like the show "24", except from the terrorists' perspective
1. Makes answering the question "Do the Palestinian people support terrorism?" a no brainer

NASA satellite paints wild infrared portrait of Hurricane Igor
By John Nelander
UPDATE: The National Hurricane Center began issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Karl at 5 p.m. Tuesday. Karl was plotted at 18.3N 84.2W, south of western Cuba, and was moving west-northwest at 15 mph with maximum winds of 40 mph. It was not expected to reach hurricane strength due to its proximity to the coast of Mexico. Forecasters said Karl would cross the Yucatan Wednesday, emerge into the southeastern Gulf, and strike central Mexico as a tropical storm. Tropical storm watches were posted for parts of Mexico and Belize.
ORIGINAL POST: A major hurricane can be an impressive sight – when viewed safely from a satellite circling the Earth. NASA released the above infrared image this morning of Hurricane Igor in the central Atlantic, spinning at Category 4 strength with winds of 135 mph.
Igor grew to the brink of a Category 5 on Monday, with winds of 150 mph – 6 mph shy of the most intense hurricanes on the planet. It's normal for storms of Igor's size to wax and wane due to the eyewall replacement cycle, and the hurricane is still over very warm water.
One of the amazing things about this picture is that the cloud tops in the thunderstorms surrounding Igor's eye (note the purple color) are colder than -90F, an indication, according to NASA, that they were near the top of the troposphere (the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere).
But the ocean temperatures feeding Igor were 80 degrees – which means there was an incredible 170 degrees difference in temperature within the storm, top to bottom.
The image was snapped by NASA's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) onboard its Aqua satellite. It was taken at 10:47 a.m. EDT today.
Igor is not a threat to the East Coast, but could come very close to Bermuda on Sunday. Late this morning, it was 710 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands and moving west-northwest at 7 mph, A turn to the northwest was forecast for Wednesday.
Elsewhere, Julia became the season's fifth hurricane this morning with winds of 75 mph. But the storm was expected to continue moving to the northwest and out to sea, not impacting land. Julia is forecast to begin losing its punch on Saturday and make a turn to the north around 50W.
In the Caribbean, the National Hurricane Center said Invest 92L was nearing tropical depression strength, and could become Tropical Storm Karl late today or early Wednesday. The storm is forecast to cross over the Yucatan into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and finally make landfall in Mexico.

It offends me that you think being offensive about a majority makes you better than someone who is offensive about a minority
This is cleverly written. However, by asking someone who is of an oppressive majority to find another space (which is virtually anywhere else), we are not being offensive. We are asking that people who have the privileges that we do not respect that this is a safe space.
this argument is ridiculous. vizzzibility is clearly marked as a space for minorities and their bodies. A white cis male is not a minority. He can look almost literally anywhere else on tumblr for a space to show his body. They weren't even rude to him. This space is not about him and it's not for him and everyone should really shut up and leave them alone now. Let them keep doing what they're doing because they're doing fine.
Thank you so much! Yes, this is what we are trying to say. This is a safe space! Respect that! There are other blogs that accept submissions from anyone and those tend to be consistently of white, thin, cis, conventionally attractive people. The whole world is a "safe space" for them. This one is not.

Rash Guards Swim Shirts - Rashguards
SPF 50+ Rash Guard Swim Shirts
* 100% Satisfaction Guarantee * Ships from Oregon * Total Sun Protection
Welcome to the Beach Depot
Shop for Swim Shirts:
Today men's rash guards are a mainstay in the sports world used by athletes across the board for skin protection. From water sports such as surfing, sailing, snorkeling, or swimming to land based sports such as MMA, martial arts, or working out, men use rash guards to perform at their best. This article will talk about the many uses of surf rash guards in relation to water sports, and why a rashguard may be exactly what you need for your water activities.Why is a rash guard important for men who surf? Whether you are a surfer or a swimmer out in the sun, either way you run the risk of getting serious rash and sunburn. A rashguard blocks the uv rays which cause sunburn much like a sunscreen, while also preventing rashes from starting from your board or paddling. Surf rash guards provide little warmth and are primarily used for the purpose of skin protection. A long sleeve surf rash guard may provide slight warmth, but should not be confused with a wetsuit which is designed specifically for cold water.Swim shirts for men are also crucial equipment for athletes. Swimmers are exposing their skin to the sun's damaging rays, as well as other irritation factors such as chlorine which may bother the skin over time. Long distance swimmers rely on rash guard swim shirts to prevent sunburn, as well as protect their skin from chaffing, which is common around the arm pit areas. Rash guards work well to minimize this chaffing irritation. Swimmers also find wearing a rash guard shirt takes the chill off cold winds and helps them to swim at their peak performance level.Men who sail or are into boating also use sports rash guards for sun protection. Athletic sailing rash guards help men look their best while avoiding sun burns. The thin lycra material is very breathable and keeps you cool while on deck. Designed to dry quickly, you can also get the sailing shirt soaking wet without worries. A quality rash guard sail shirt will provide SPF 150+ sun protection, which is better than top selling suncreens. Snug fitting and stretchy, a rash guard sailing shirt is superb for all boating activities.Depending on your individual needs, surfing rash guards and swim shirts for sailing can be purchased at many locations. Surf shops are a great place to find surf rash guards and surf shirts. Long sleeve rashguards, short sleeeve rash guards, and cap sleeve rash guards are the most prevalent styles of surf shirt. If you love to surf, sail, swim, or practice martial arts, get yourself a versatile rash guard today.

Irvine, Calif., August 1, 2009Sue Marshall is the Director of Undergraduate Programs for the Department of Education. Under this umbrella title, she wears several hats: manger of undergraduate education programs including a minor in Educational Studies and early preparation options for teaching careers; manager of a new undergraduate program to prepare math and science teachers (Cal Teach); and Co-PI on a couple of grant funded projects offering support and scholarships for aspiring math and science teachers.
My career path has taken many turns; each new experience broadens the skills and perspectives that I can bring to my job. I like to think about my work and career from an entrepreneurial vantage point – I look for opportunities to test new approaches and tackle new challenges. I also enjoy working in collaborative environments, learning from and co-developing new ideas with other talented people.After earning a bachelor's degree from U.C. San Diego in Sociology and a Multiple Subject Teacher Credential from UCLA, Dr. Marshall started her career as an elementary teacher in Los Angeles. "This was back when Apple IIe computers were being introduced in schools. I enrolled in a workshop on using computers in education, and I was hooked on computer technology. It changed my career trajectory."
I am particularly excited to be working collaboratively with a great team of colleagues from UC Irvine departments of Education, Mathematics, the sciences, and the computer sciences to launch the UCI Cal Teach program. We are doing something new; this will be one of only a few undergraduate teacher preparation programs for science or math teachers in California, and represents a tremendous effort on the part of the UCI math and science departments to recognize, through new changes to their degree program curricula, the importance of attracting talented students from their departments to enter the 6-12 teaching profession. Although we are modeling Cal Teach on a University of Texas program, we have a wonderful opportunity to study and adapt it to best meet the needs of California's urban students and schools, and to bring to bear some exciting research in math education and learning being done by Department of Education faculty. Drawing on my own past interests in learning technologies, I will be looking for some opportunities within the program curricula to best prepare these new teachers to understand and leverage the affordances of 21st century technology tools and media to support learning and assessment.

elderberry syrup :: winter wellness
Gracious nearby neighbor Glynna allowed a massive harvesting of her very large elderberry bush. After cleaning, de-stemming, cooking down with water and adding honey--the result is a special treat reserved for drinking during the cold and flu season: elderberry syrup. Elderberry is a great immune booster during the winter, it helps to break up congestion from cold and flu.
Make your own syrup by de-stemming (use a clean hair pick or fork to assist in getting the berries off the stem) your harvested elderberries, place them in a large stock pot with water to the same level. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes. Use a potato masher to mash mixture and release more berry juice into mixture. Allow to cool slightly. Set up another large stock pot with a colander over it, line the colander with 4 layers of cheesecloth or a napkin type material that will strain out the seeds (seeds are teeny tiny). Ladle semi cooled mash and juice over the cheesecloth/colander and let juice drain through until you have ladled it all. Grab the edges of your cheesecloth or napkin and squeeze out the remaining juice to gain maximum yield. Remove colander and add your honey to the mixture along with the juice of one lemon per quart of juice. Lemon juice helps to preserve it as well as does honey. Add honey to taste, but the more honey, the more preserving its action is in the mixture. Bottle with a funnel and refrigerate. It will last 2-3 months. Drink a couple of Tablespoons daily or when you feel under the weather to stave off the cold. Alternatively use during a cold or flu to help rid congestion.

What a great tip! I have to try this with cold and flu season approaching.
The grow wild in the foot hills where I live and also make the best jelly and pancake syrup I've ever had.
Beautiful pictures! I didn't know that honey serves as a preservative… though I know it has antibiotic properties. Very cool.
