As college costs continue to skyrocket, millions of families rely on private student loans to fill educational funding gaps that federal aid and savings can leave behind. To help more credit unions offer solutions to their members' college financing needs – all while creating valuable long-term relationships – CUcorp is proud to have partnered with CU Student Choice, the leading provider of private student lending services to America's credit unions.
After an extremely successful lending season in 2012, CU Student Choice's 200 credit union partners have now funded more than $876 million in fair-value private loans nationwide, including $36 million from Michigan credit unions alone. With zero origination fees, lower interest rates and a unique line of credit structure, the Credit Union Student Choice program simply offers members a better deal when compared with other financing options. Compared to the average private student loan, these credit union loans will save borrowers nearly $500 million over the life of their loans while also returning strong results to credit union bottom lines. Now that is value.
Unlike many other models, the Student Choice program puts credit unions in full control – allowing you to leverage your balance-sheet lending capability to make direct loans to students in the communities you serve, providing a genuine opportunity for a productive member relationship. Participating credit unions control the rates offered and key lending criteria, while the CUSO handles the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of student lending, including loan origination, school-certification, and servicing.
Student Choice's team of experts also provide hands-on operational, marketing, and business development support to position your credit union for success. Through on-site seminars and online resources, you'll help educate your members on the full range of college financing options to ensure they take advantage of free and low-cost funding sources.
Private student loans are a long-term relationship and a necessary financial product for many students and families. As credit unions seek to grow their lending portfolios and attract a new generation of members, helping students finance their educational goals is proving to be a tremendous opportunity.
Contact your league representative at (800) 262-6285, to learn more about the Student Choice program.
How to Make Retirement Planning Unavoidable
Your organization offers its employees a retirement plan. You spend a fair amount for this benefit and use internal human resource staff to manage the plan. Every quarter, your management team reviews the retirement plan, and you've even paid an advisor to help make sure you're offering an effective, complete menu of options. You're proud of the plan, except for one thing: It isn't working.
At least one in four employees choose not to participate, and most who do participate aren't investing enough to achieve your plan's main goal: guiding each employee to a financially secure retirement. What's wrong?
Chances are, nothing's wrong with the plan itself. But something is wrong with how your employees are educated and motivated to take responsibility for their own retirement security.
An Epidemic of Nonpreparedness
Being under-educated and unmotivated to save adequately for retirement would place your employees squarely in the middle of a national epidemic.
The aggregate retirement income deficit for all Baby Boomers and Gen Xers—that is, the amount by which their savings, plus Social Security, falls short of the projected amount they'll need to maintain their lifestyle after retiring—is $4.3 trillion, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. One reason is that, on average, employees contribute only 6.4% of their paychecks to a 401(k), according to Plan Sponsor Council of America research. Typically, financial advisers recommend 10% as a baseline minimum and 15% for those who start saving for retirement late (in their 40s or even 50s).
Four Steps for Plan Sponsors
To help employees get started on a retirement plan and stay on track, try these four steps in partnership with your retirement plan sponsor:
Following these steps makes retirement planning almost unavoidable for employees. This has become necessary, because for so many employees, committing to a retirement plan and following up regularly is like going to a dentist. They'd rather not.
But dentists put patients on a schedule of regular check-ups and cleaning because they know exactly what happens when folks wait to see a dentist until they get a toothache. Don't wait for employees to be pro-active about their retirement. In the end, they'll appreciate you for it.

Men's Soccer Picked Seventh in Preseason Poll
ST. PAUL, Minn. - The MLC men's soccer team was picked to finish seventh in the UMAC preseason poll released by the conference Wednesday afternoon.
The Knights finished last season with a record of 3-15 overall and 2-12, but return a number of key players from that team in the hopes that many of those close losses can be turned into wins in 2013.
All-UMAC performer Steve Roekle returns in the midfield, while Ryan Lemke will lead the forwards after scoring five goals a season ago.
Dave Roekle, Chris Krug and Micah Koelpin will lead the defense after gaining experience a year ago, while senior goalkeeper Eric Hahn also returns after finishing in the top half of the conference in most statistical categories in 2012.
The Knights finished the poll with 17 points, one behind sixth place finisher North Central.
St. Scholastica finished first in the poll with all seven possible first place votes and 49 total points. Minnesota Morris was second with 43 points, while Bethany Lutheran and Northwestern tied for third with 34 points.

December 22, 2014
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Federal law enforcement authorities in California have charged a Democratic state lawmaker and his brother with multiple counts involving bribery, kickbacks and cover-ups.
Los Angeles U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte says Sen. Ron Calderon took $100,000 in cash bribes plus plane trips, golf trips and gourmet meals.
The alleged scheme involved working for or against certain legislation.
The 24-count indictment was filed Thursday in federal court in Los Angeles against Calderon and his brother, Tom, a former state lawmaker who now works as a lobbyist.
Calderon has denied wrongdoing, and his attorney, Mark Geragos, did not return telephone messages Friday seeking comment.

Biglari Holdings Sends Letter To Cracker Barrel's Board On Discovery Of Discrepancy In Professed Experience Of Designated Chairman James Bradford
In its proxy statement, Cracker Barrel claims to have strict procedures and standards and to have engaged in "significant efforts" to identify qualified candidates for director. Echoing its Corporate Governance Guidelines, Cracker Barrel states in its proxy statement:
"The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses a candidate's independence, background and experience.... The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends appropriate candidates with the goal that the Board of Directors be comprised of qualified individuals.... Individual directors and any person nominated to serve as a director should possess the highest moral integrity and should generally have had significant managerial experience in the form of being a current or former senior executive of a publicly traded or privately held company or similar business experience or training."
We certainly understand why the Board, in the midst of a proxy contest, would be interested in highlighting an accomplishment of a director, especially an incoming Chairman, who would have led a NYSE-listed company in the capacity of CEO. Initially we had no reason to doubt the Board or Mr. Bradford. We assumed that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee would have conducted a thorough background check on the incoming Chairman. It is certainly the obligation of the full Board, including that of Ms. Cochran, to be fully versed about Mr. Bradford's professional accomplishments. Assuming Mr. Bradford was required to complete Cracker Barrel's 22-page, 33-question director-and-officer questionnaire that Phil Cooley and I were required to submit in connection with our nomination to the Board, we believe that, at the very least, his responses to questions 3 and 33 should have shed light on his experience at the public company. ( Enclosed with this letter is Cracker Barrel's questionnaire, which is especially voluminous.)
Should our concerns about the accuracy of Mr. Bradford's experience prove correct, then shareholders should seriously question the level of diligence and oversight exercised by Cracker Barrel's Board of Directors in the vitally important vetting process for identifying qualified directors, including the one director possessing the essential character and experience to serve as Chairman of the Board.

oops, another mangle occurred.
The entry:
"kernel /kernel-2.6.13-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192
real_root=/dev/hda3 udev"
in grub.conf should be on one line -- sorry --
I see that it was split into two lines at the space between 8192 and
real_root when it came back to me through the mail list handler and my mail
client. Probably happened to you also. As " real_root=/dev/hda3 udev " are
kernel arguments they need to be on the same line as "kernel".
This should solve the first problem.
Make the change above to grub.conf .
I think the second problem is not related to the first. There is
probably a problem with the network settings. Page 40 to 46 of the amd64
gentoo handbook are a good start on the networking problem. Short summary
follows. My best guess is that adding dhcpcd to rc is necessary and not
May I suggest (presuming your intent was to have the network mount
automatically and you connect via ethernet):
Run the command:
dir /sbin/dh*
If the response is "/sbin/dhcpcd" then the dhcp client demon is installed.
If "No such file or directory" error occurs, dhcpcd needs to be emerged.
you wanted to use some other dhcp client.)
Run the command: (modified if you wanted to use and have emerged some other
dhcp client.)
rc-update add dhcpcd default
nano -w /etc/conf.d/hostname
(Set the HOSTNAME variable to your hostname)
nano -w /etc/conf.d/domainname
(Set the DNSDOMAIN variable to your domain name)
rc-update add domainname default
nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
(should be blank or all lines commented)

|It's Just You and the Ocean in Crescent Beach
Take a brisk walk, poke through tidepools, or maybe just write your names in the sand at this North Coast gem.
One of the best things about the North Coast is that you really can feel like you have some of these spectacular stretches of coastline to yourself. One such location is Crescent Beach, a wild stretch of sand where it's likely to be just you, the waves, maybe some driftwood and a shorebird or two, and footsteps in the sand. Here you can while away the day looking for agates, or explore coastal tidepools. Climb to bluffs to take in the view of wave after wave rolling in and breaking on the beach. Look inland to dense forests, a dramatic backdrop to this classic vista.

Shell awards floating LNG contracts to Technip and Samsung
Shell's FLNG solution has the potential to place gas liquefaction facilities directly over offshore gas fields, thereby precluding the need for long distance pipelines and extensive onshore infrastructure. This innovative alternative to traditional onshore LNG plants provides a commercially attractive and environmentally sensitive approach for monetisation of offshore gas fields.
The broad operating parameters of the Shell design mean it can be redeployed. Shell's standardised "design one – build many" approach allows material repeatability gains to be captured during design and construction phases. After completing the FEED phase, Shell will examine key aspects of each potential FLNG project in its portfolio before considering a final investment decision.
The master agreement and the FEED contract were signed in Paris, France, by Jon Chadwick, Executive Vice President Upstream International, and Matthias Bichsel, Director Projects & Technology on behalf of Shell; Thierry Pilenko, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Bernard di Tullio, Chief Operating Officer, on behalf of Technip; and J. W. Kim, Vice Chairman and CEO, and H. Y. Lee, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, on behalf of Samsung Heavy Industries.
Matthias Bichsel commented: "Shell has a long history of technology firsts. The significant and positive progress we have made with our FLNG solution reinforces Shell's position as a leading LNG technology developer."
Jon Chadwick said: "Today marks a milestone in developing Shell's generic FLNG solution. In partnership with various stakeholders, we are progressing several potential applications globally – gas fields for which Shell's FLNG solution is the most viable approach."
Thierry Pilenko of Technip stated: "This project is a true representation of Technip's technological differentiation through the integration of all our core activities: LNG process, offshore facilities and subsea infrastructures. It gives us an opportunity to lead a powerful consortium with Samsung on the frontier areas of the gas business, creating value for Shell through innovation, technical excellence and delivery track record."
J. W. Kim of Samsung Heavy Industries stated: "Based on Samsung's outstanding experience in LNG carriers and offshore projects, we are striving to expand our business to this new Floating LNG market. This large scale FLNG project awarded by Shell is an important milestone for us to launch into this new blue ocean. Samsung, together with its long standing and reliable partner, Technip, will create a distinctive success story in this challenging mega project."
Notes to editor
- Shell's invitation to tender was released in June 2008 and was issued to three consortia comprising international engineering and shipyard contractors, selected following an extensive pre-qualification exercise. Bids were received in January 2009.
- The FLNG concept's key dimensions are approximately 450 metres x 70 metres, with a 3.5 mtpa LNG capacity, plus associated LPG and condensate production; taking total liquid production potential to over 5 mtpa. Topsides weight is estimated in excess of 50,000 tonnes. Shell's FLNG design is suitable for more distant offshore fields, designed to operate under harsh metocean conditions and process a wide range of gas compositions.
- An artistic impression of the Shell FLNG design is attached.
- Technip, leader of the winning consortium, is one of the largest firms in the fields of project management, engineering and construction for the oil and gas industry with 23,000 staff and offices in 46 countries.
- Samsung is one of the largest shipyards in Korea and amongst the largest in the world with a capacity to build 65 commercial ships and 250,000 tonnes of offshore topside modules each year.

Smooth run as all 126 Children's patients moved
BY MITCH DUDEK AND TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com June 9, 2012 11:54AM
Patricia Ocampo stands next to her son Emiliano Vazquez, 5 months, as Emiliano's father, Sergio Vazquez, watches after being transported to Lurie Children's Hospital, 225 E. Chicago Ave., Saturday, June 9, 2012, in Chicago. | John J. Kim~Sun-Times

Moving Children's Memorial Hospital's most precious asset — kids — took six years to plan and necessitated a dizzying checklist that varied from oxygen tanks to toilet paper.
The needles on the gas gages of all 25 ambulances pointed to "F" before the first of many 3.5 mile runs to and from the Lincoln Park complex to the new Streeterville facility.
Fullerton Avenue from Halsted to Lake Shore Drive was blocked at 6 a.m. so ambulance traffic could flow unimpeded.
Hospital organizers considered starting the move even earlier, but didn't want to run into 4 a.m. bar traffic.
It was familiar procedure for many on staff. The staff had practiced the procedure multiple times to ensure there were no challenges.
"We had a full-blown mock move in April to test every nook and cranny. We had staff members who pretended to be patients," said Maureen Mahoney, who headed up the move.
"We even had a 10-year-old kid from Elmhurst who wrote us a letter and volunteered to take part in the mock move and offer tips from a kid's perspective. We took him up on that offer," said Mahoney.
The move was sure to escalate anxiety not only in patients but also concerned parents. To de-escalate that anxiety, the hospital created videos describing the process. Patients were given a "Buddy Bear" that rode along with them in the ambulance along with one parent.
Michelle Stephenson, who oversaw the move, said it took 90 to 120 minutes to transfer the critically ill children and 45 minutes to an hour to shift patients with less severe ailments.
Just two days ago, a patient had a heart transplant and some had liver transplants this week, while two others were listed high on the transplant list.
As of 8 p.m. Saturday, 126 patients had transferred hospitals, officials said.
"We've really had no glitches, to be honest. The weather is cooperating. It's been smooth," said Mahoney, who started her day at 2:30 a.m. with a prayer.

California residents only: "Proposition 65" WARNING
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

News anchors resign on air over politically unbalanced newsSubmitted by TheLorax on Thu, 11/22/2012 - 11:02
I wish to thank and congratulate these two for taking a stand against the "government/media complex that controls the news and most political propaganda".
"It's a culmination of ongoing occurrences that took place the last several years and basically involved upper-management practices that we both strongly disagreed with," she continued. "It's a little complicated, but we were expected to do somewhat unbalanced news, politically, in general."

The Running Injury Oracle provides you with the most up to date information on how to recover from your specific injury, including video clips specially chosen from our library of over 170 videos showing you:
Recognising a Stroke
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(I.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
Stick out Your Tongue
If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side, or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

Expert Elder Care Guidance
Expert Elder Care Guidance
My husband was just diagnosed with cancer. He already had a heart condition and diabetes. Should cancer treatments now be the major focus for his medical care?
It is quite common for older people like your husband to face multiple diseases. Experts estimate that more than half of patients diagnosed with cancer are also dealing with another chronic illness, such as hypertension, osteoporosis, lung disease, heart conditions and diabetes. These secondary medical conditions are referred to as "comorbid," meaning that they can form a type of partnership, each contributing towards poorer survival rates and death. Six out of ten cancer cases are among those over the age of 65 who often contend with two and more chronic conditions. As a result, this "comorbidity factor" will continue to run high among the elderly.
Your initial reaction, most likely, is that nothing else matters if the cancer isn't stopped, so those treatments should take priority over everything else. However, if your husband's diabetes and heart condition aren't kept under control, the cancer treatment won't matter, either. Be sure to advise your husband that even though he will now be adding an oncologist (physician specializing in cancer) to his list of doctors, it doesn't mean that the others are less important. Because our health care system promotes specialization of body parts – cardiologist for heart, urologist for kidneys, etc. – and cancer care is a world unto itself, you'll be facing a challenging comorbity juggling act. Unfortunately, it is up to the patient and his or her family to keep the balls from dropping.
Here are a few pointers that will help your husband juggle his cancer care with his other medical conditions:

About Words without Borders
Founded in 2003, Words without Borders promotes cultural understanding through the translation, publication, and promotion of the finest contemporary international literature. Our publications and programs open doors for readers of English around the world to the multiplicity of viewpoints, richness of experience, and literary perspective on world events offered by writers in other languages. We seek to connect international writers to the general public, to students and educators, and to print and other media and to serve as a primary online location for a global literary conversation.
Every month we publish eight to twelve new works by international writers at wordswithoutborders.org. We have published works by Nobel Prize laureates J.M.G Le Clézio and Herta Müller, Mahmoud Darwish, Etgar Keret, Per Petterson, Fadhil Al-Azzawi, W.G. Sebald, and Ma Jian, as well as hundreds of new and rising international writers. To date we have published well over 1,700 pieces from 120 countries and 101 languages.
Words without Borders is building an education program that will provide educators with resources and content to more readily incorporate contemporary international literature into their classes. The program, Words without Borders Campus, will include a second Web site, already in development, as well as an ambitious author-classroom program that facilitates direct interactions between authors and students. We hope that in reaching out to students we can create a passion for international literature, a curiosity about other cultures, and inspire true world citizens.
In addition, we've partnered with publishing houses to release print anthologies. To date we have released Words without Borders: The World through the Eyes of Writers (Anchor Books); Literature from the "Axis of Evil": Writing from Iran, Iraq, North Korea, and Other Enemy Nations (The New Press); The Wall in My Head: Words and Images from the Fall of the Iron Curtain (Open Letter); The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry; Tablet and Pen: Literary Landscapes of the Middle East; and our first e-anthology, Words without Borders: The Best of the First Ten Years.

Map of the East Serengeti Region of Tanzania
The eastern plains of the Serengeti ecosystem encompass a massive area. They begin roughly just east of Naabi Hill. They extend east through the Gol Kopjes, Lemuta Hill, Nasera Rock, Angata Kiti, the Salei Plains and all the way to the Ngorongoro Highlands and the active volcano Mount Lengai. This area is approximately 50 miles wide from west to east. The southern border of eastern plains is roughly Olduvai Gorge and the northern border reaches into the Loliondo game controlled area.
The eastern plains are similar to the southern plains in that they are extremely seasonal. During the dry season, the eastern plains are transformed into a semi desert and only a few hearty Grant's and Thomson's gazelles survive. However, the eastern plains come to life in the wet season from about November through May and offer prolific wildlife viewing for certain species of animals. A day trip at the minimum should be included in every green season itinerary.
The Gol Kopjes, located on the Eastern Plains, boast the highest concentrations of cheetahs in Africa during the wet season. The majority of the cheetahs in the Serengeti are migratory in that many of them follow the Thomson's Gazelle migration to the eastern short grass plains during the wet season and then back to the Central Serengeti (plains/woodland border) during the dry season. During the wet season, the eastern plains offer the best cheetah viewing in the Serengeti and in all of Africa. On a full day game drive to the GOL kopjes, you will likely encounter several groups of cheetahs. Cheetahs are strictly diurnal (daytime) hunters and with a little luck you will witness the fastest land animal in the world in action.
In addition to cheetahs, the eastern plains are home to the largest concentrations of hyenas during the green season. Large clans of hyenas numbering up to 30 individuals are regularly spotted from Naabi Hill east through the Gol kopjes and Lemuta Hill. Hyenas, the most abundant predator in the entire ecosystem, are semi-nomadic and 'commute' to the Eastern Plains during the wet season from their den sites located in the Central Serengeti. Lion numbers are also high on the eastern plains during the wet season. The majority of the lions in the Serengeti are resident but a significant portion is nomadic (roughly 20%) and they do follow the migratory animals to the plains each wet season. However, lions are rarely encountered east of Lemuta and they are much more readily seen inside the Serengeti proper including the Gol Kopjes area.
The Thomson's gazelle and eland migration differs from the wildebeest and zebra migration in that the gazelles and elands utilize the eastern plains much more than the southern plains of the Serengeti ecosystem. You will likely encounter thousands of gazelles and hundreds of elands on the eastern plains during the wet season.
During the wet season, the eastern plains play host to a somewhat separate population of the wildebeest migration that can number into the hundreds of thousands. You will likely encounter thousands of wildebeest from the GOL Kopjes, east through Angata Kiti and into the Salei Plains by the active volcano Mount Lengai. The Salei Plains receive the least amount of rainfall in the Serengeti ecosystem. However, when the Salei plains do receive enough rain to produce fresh green grass, massive wildebeest herds will congregate here. It is not uncommon to see two or three hundred thousand wildebeest on the Salei Plains when they are green. The wildebeest prefer the fresh green grass on these eastern plains, as they are closest to the volcanic highlands that produced the nutrient rich and fertile soils millions of years ago. This is an extremely beautiful and remote area of the Eastern Plains and if you are adventurous enough to visit you will be rewarded with the best off the beaten track game viewing available in Northern Tanzania.
You are allowed to off road drive in the GOL Kopjes but please always remain a respectable distance to Cheetahs especially if they look to be hunting, there is a kill, or if there are cubs present. Cheetahs are extremely fragile and will often abandon an uneaten gazelle or even their own cubs if they are harassed by an over eager vehicle. Please do not urge your driver to get too close, as he will is always striving to impress you and by doing so may unintentionally stress these wonderful animals.

The Mustang Heritage Foundation (MHF) is shaking up the horse industry again as it offers a sister event to the highly successful Extreme Mustang Makeover with its $100,000 guaranteed Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover.
"Fans of the Extreme Mustang Makeover already know that the Foundation has been very successful in placing nearly 2,000 yearling, three and four-year-old mustangs for adoption after a training competition," said Executive Director Patti Colbert. "Now, there is a large population of older horses being managed by the Bureau of Land Management that need adoption. So, we are bumping it to another level by providing a competition for trainers who adopt a five or six-year-old wild horse, train the animal and then compete for $100,000."
Unlike the current Extreme Mustang Makeover, where horses are randomly assigned to trainers, the Supreme Extreme will allow trainers to choose their horses and adopt them prior to the competition. Up to four horses can be adopted at one time and current BLM adoption requirements will apply. In order to adopt, applicants must be at least 18 years old, have no prior conviction for inhumane treatment of animals or violations of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act and be able to demonstrate that adequate housing, food, water and facilities will be available to humanely care for the animal. Specific facility requirements also apply that pertain to type and height of corral as well as shelter from the elements. For complete adoption requirements go to www.wildhorseandburro.blm.gov or call 866-4Mustangs.

World-renowned equine photographer Terri Miller was chosen as the winner of the third Offield Farms Shoot to Win Photo Contest held at the Rolex FEI World Cup Dressage Finals. Miller's winning photo, titled "Dressage Dream," of Elizabeth Ball on Iris Eckstein's Orion, was selected from dozens of photos submitted. The panel of judges was charged with the task of identifying an image that best captured the excitement of dressage and Miller's photo was determined to best meet the criteria of the contest.
"Our third photo contest was difficult to judge," explained Karin Reid Offield, who created and has sponsored the World Cup Dressage Finals Shoot to Win Photo Contest for the past three World Cup Finals held in the United States. "It was important that the winning photo showcase the excitement and energy of our sport. I had hoped that I would find a photograph that captured the audience's moment of excitement during Steffen's wonderful rides, as the creative banners and American flags showed the spectators' enthusiasm. However, when I saw Terri's photo I thought, 'Wow, now there is a shot!'"
For Offield, Miller's photo, "had an advantage of being taken in a spot where no one else had ever been. That's really the goal of the contest-showcasing images that break free from the norm and deliver the excitement of dressage. We wanted an image that makes people stop and stare. Terri's photograph does that for me and it's worthy of a magazine cover. Congratulations to Terri and all of the photographers that entered our contest."

Property Name:
Ashland School (Baltimore County School No. 7)
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
200, Ashland Road, Cockeysville, Baltimore County
Baltimore County School No. 7 was constructed in 1882 atop a hill at the intersection of Ashland Road and Paper Mill Road, at the entrance to the village of Ashland, associated with the Ashland Iron Works. The structure is built of rough cut marble ashlar from the nearby Butler/Beaver Dam Quarry. The exterior reflects the influence of the Queen Anne style with gabled windows, elaborate cornice work, fan-shaped attic vents at the roof peak, and numerous large banks of multi-paned windows. While the exterior has remained largely unaltered, the interior of the building was altered in 1930 from the two-room schoolhouse configuration to that of an upscale private residence, still incorporating the 25-foot barrel-vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and trusses. Very attractive architectural details were added, such as a large foyer or reception hall paneled in Southern "gumwood" with Ebony beads with two sets of double French doors that lead into the two main rooms. The "great room" (living room) is wainscoted with the same "gumwood" paneling. All of the floors in the house are finished with 2" by 1" thick heart pine flooring all run on the diagonal. Also included in the 1930 conversion was an elegant stairway with unique wood and iron railings that lead to a loft that is enclosed by a glazed curtain wall with an unusual wedge-shaped door. Other notable features from the 1930 period are a beautiful stone fireplace with "Inglenook"-style sitting area across from it that together separate the dining room and great room. The dining room has several custom built-in cabinets that are Federal in style, and the walls are covered with a faux stone simulating varied stone blocks that was popularized in England in the 19th century.
The Ashland School is significant under Criterion C for its architectural character. Constructed in 1882 to the design of prominent Baltimore architect Frank E. Davis, it is a noteworthy example of the Queen Anne style applied to a rural school building. In its architectural elaboration and its substantial masonry construction, the building marks a departure from the standard frame school buildings that had been erected by the Baltimore County School Commissioners since the 1860s. Upon its removal from service in 1929, the interior of the building was remodeled as a private residence, and the high quality of the design and workmanship involved in this conversion is significant in its own right. The school derives additional significance under Criterion A for its association with the Ashland Iron Works, an early 19th century industrial enterprise in Baltimore County, and its company town; the school was constructed on property donated to the county by the iron company, and primarily served the children of immigrant iron workers resident in the company town.

There are more than 150 rivers and creeks In Crimea, a large part of which dries up in the summer. The largest part of rivers is in the mountains, but the biggest of them flowing in the steppe part – Salgir. If to compare with Ukraine rivers, the Crimean rivers are small and not power. They dry in summer and filled with water from rain and melting snow quickly. Rivers are divided into three groups according to their deposit.
- The rivers of the northern and north-western slope of the Crimean Mountains, which flowing into Siwash;
- Rivers of the western and north-western slope of the Crimean Mountains, flowing into the Black Sea;
- The rivers and streams of the Southern coast of the Crimea.
The largest river in the Crimea – Salgir belong to the first group of the rivers of the northern and north-eastern slope of the mountains, its length is 232km, its catchment area – 4010 square kilometers. The river has several major tributaries – Bink-Karasu, Angara and Kizil-Koba from the north of Simferopol Small Salgir flows into Salgir, and from the north-east of the city the tributaries are flowing – Beshterek, Zuy and Burulcha.
The largest reservoir in the Crimea is also built on the Salgir river in Simferopol. Its length is 7 km, width – about 1.5 km, its volume is of 36 million cubic meters. There is the dam that holds the floodwaters. There are about 500 sources in the pool of Salgir. The largest of these is the Ayan source on which the reservoir is also built.
The Indole river – one of the major rivers of the Crimea. Its length is 58 km, and its basin area is 324 square kilometers. It originates in a mountain ravine in the mountains Karagol.
East Bulganak – this prairie river, 44 km long. In the hot season it is dry, so it's poorly suitable for agriculture.
The Alma, Kacha, Belbek, Black and West Bulganak rivers belong to the second group of western and north-western slope of the mountains.
The Alma river basin area is 635 square kilometers, length – 84km. It's the second longest river after the Salgir. The river is formed by the confluence of the Sary-Su-Su and Saul Babuganki. The wildness protection trout farm was created on the river Alma where trout are grow, and then it comes in the river and creek.
The Dry Alma falls in Alma in the upper reaches, the Mawla and Kosy fall into slightly lower down the river. The Partisan reservoir built downstream in the valley.
Bodrak river is the largest tributary of the Alma river, it is quite stormy during the floods.
Alma flows into the Black Sea near the Peschanoe village.
Kacha river a bit inferior to the high-water and the length of Alma. Its length 69 km and its catchment area – 573 square kilometers. The river is filled in by the upper karst water. It is formed by the confluence of two rivers Bink-Uzen and Pisara.
Kacha has many tributaries, the largest of them is the Chuyun-Igla (length – 8,4 km), Donga, Kapsan, Martha (length – 21 km), Churuk-Su (13km long). Besides, there are two large water reservoir on Kutcha, they are located in the village Zelonoye and in the Bashtanovka village, the water of which is used for irrigation.
Belbek river (length 63 km, catchment area – 505 sq. km) formed by the confluence of two rivers – Bink-Uzenbash and Managotra at Schastlivoye village on Bakhchsarai area.
The large tributary Kokozka is flowing into the Belbek a length of 17km, which is formed by the confluence of two rivers – Sary-Uzen and Auzen Uzen. Last flows from the Grand Canyon of Crimea.
Despite the fact that Bel'bek is the most abundant river in Crimea, it is almost dry for a short time each year.
The Black River (length – 41km, the drainage area – 436kv.km.) Originates in Baydar Valley. The upper reaches of the river is r.Uzundzha, 11km in length. The river bed is filled with water only after heavy rains and floods.
The largest tributaries are Chyornaya River Kayak (long-14km) and Baga Urkusta and Armanka. All of these tributaries are shallow and dry most of the year.
A large reservoir Chernorechenskoye is constructed on the river.
The southern coast of the river flowing through the southern slope of the mountain range. Relief and significant height sources of rivers cause short length of rivers and large drop channel.
The river Uchang-Su (length 8.4 km, drainage area – 38 sq km), begins at Ai-Petri and flows down to a big fall, forming in some places waterfalls. The largest of these falls Wuchang-Su.
The tributaries of the Uchang-Su are Barbala, Kuhna and Yauzlar.
River Derekoyka (length – 12 km, the catchment area – 44 sq. km) originates on the southern slope of Nikita plateau and flows into the Black Sea. The river is mixed. The most abundant the river is in winter and in spring.
Avunda River (88km length, basin area – 27kv.km.) originates in the eastern part of the Nikitsky plateau and flows into the Black Sea near Gurzuf.
The river dries up, because of intensive irrigation.
Major tributaries are the rivers and Katka and Tsirubu. The Stok of both rivers is an negligible.
The river Ulu Uzen (length – 15 km, the basin area 60kv.km.) formed in the upper reaches of the rivers Sofu Uzen, originating on the southern slope Chater-Dag and Uzen-Bash flowing with Babugan-plateau.
Ulu Uzen Valley occupied by orchards and vineyards where the famous Alushta grown pears.
Demerji river (length – 14 km, the basin area – 56kv.km.) begins on the south-western slope of the array Demerji and empties into the Black Sea near Alushta. In some years, the river dries up.
The River East Ulu Uzen begins at the foot of the massif Tyrke, empties into the Black Sea near Solnechnogorskoe village in Alushta region. In the mountains, it created the Haphal gorge with numerous waterfalls, especially picturesque of them is powerful Jur-Jur.
Crimea River is so shallow that do not have significant economic value, so the only way to use them – is to build a reservoir. Water shortage is particularly acute in the southern coast of Crimea, because of the growing demand for water resorts in the summer-autumn period.

Hundreds pack public hearing after gasoline leak
Updated On: Jul 31 2012 11:06:00 PM CDT
Hundreds of people packed a Washington County public hearing Tuesday to determine if their drinking water is contaminated after a gas leak.
About 100 families were notified that they are in a drinking water advisory area because of spreading underground gasoline contamination. More than 40 of the families are not supposed to drink, shower or wash laundry with their water. Many will be moving to hotel rooms.
About 500 residents gathered at the Jackson Community Center and demanded answers about the gasoline spill from West Shore Pipe Line Company.
Company spokesman Pat Hodgins said they were working to fix the problem.
"We're not going anywhere. We're going to make it right. I understand your frustration with communication," he said.
DNR drinking water expert Steve Ales said federally-approved filtration systems will soon be installed in dozens of homes to filter out harmful petroleum chemicals.
The pipeline companies involved are paying for dozens of hotel rooms for families that choose to move out. They will also pay for filtration systems and bottled water.
DNR officials said the current provisions are short-term fixes. A long-term cleanup solution could be months away.
The Jackson municipal wells will also be tested for contamination.

Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg made the right call to take pole position while Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton got it all wrong at the British Grand Prix.
As Hamilton aborted his last lap, assuming he could not improve on a time that looked good for pole in wet conditions, Rosberg kept on pushing and found the final sector of the circuit had dried enough to go faster.
Hamilton was not the only one to make a major error of judgement on a changeable day at Silverstone that caught out some of the biggest names in the sport and rewarded some of those more used to lining up at the back.
Ferrari's woes
Ferrari and Williams completely misjudged the weather and failed to get any of their drivers through the first phase when rain started to fall before they had set quick enough times.
Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen qualified 19th and 20th respectively for Ferrari. Brazilian Felipe Massa, who took pole at the previous race in Austria, was 18th with Williams team mate Valtteri Bottas 17th.
"It was a perfect storm," said Alonso. "It's a narrow line between becoming a hero and a big mistake and we became a big mistake today."
Rosberg, as so often this season, got it right when it mattered - even if he was almost denied his chance by Hamilton going slow in front of him.
"It was a quite crazy qualifying," the German told reporters.
"It was quite wet...I told the guys 'that's it.' And then we were sitting in the box (garage) and we just came to a general conclusion that we might as well go out and have a look at the track.
"Then it seemed like we should give it a go, but even then I still didn't really believe that the track would be better. But what made it was the last sector...it was a lot drier."
