Parts of Linville Gorge open for deer hunting after fire
Updated On: Nov 27 2013 12:18:39 PM EST
For Bruce Hallett it was rain, not fire, that worried him as he was getting ready for the start of this year's deer hunting season in western North Carolina.
Parts of the Linville Gorge had been closed for nearly two weeks because of a wildfire. No homes were destroyed and no one was hurt, but the fire destroyed nearly 2,600 acres.
A few days ago, the U.S. Forest Service said a combination of wet weather and efforts by firefighters had nearly contained the fire. So they allowed rifle deer hunting season to begin as planned Monday, with parts of the gorge opened for access.
That's good news for Hallett and other hunters who flock to the mountains.
But heavy rain is putting a damper on hunting.

Vocalist Bernard Sumner of New Order | GETTY IMAGES
Good news: New Order is back on the road, playing set lists spanning their entire career (first as Joy Division, then as '80s new wave heroes). Bad news: The member whose playing contributed more than a little to the band's signature sound, bassist Peter Hook, isn't along for the ride for the first time — well, ever. Kinda like the Smiths without Johnny Marr. But hey, the tunes will still be something. . . . At 7:30 p.m. Oct. 21 at the Aragon Ballroom, 1106 W. Lawrence. Tickets: $50. Call (800) 514-ETIX; jamusa.com. — Thomas Conner
The current lineup of ye olde Pumpkins — leader Billy Corgan with guitarist Jeff Schroeder, bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne — solidified in 2010, while some critics (myself included, regrettably) still bemoaned Corgan's stubborn, Pretenders-like continuation of the band name. But the quartet truly gels on their new album, "Oceania," emerging as a solid, cohesive force for the first time. The shows, if recent history holds, are punishing and exciting. At 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Allstate Arena, 6920 N. Mannheim Rd. in Rosemont. Tickets: $50. Call (800) 745-3000; ticketmaster.com. —TC
There are many Elvis impersonators out there — men, women, children, pets — but few pack a punch quite like El Vez, the Mexican Elvis. Merging the hysteria of Elvis worship with a fierce Latin pride, El Vez reinvents Presley's power and mystique from a socialist Hispanic perspective. His shows are entertaining and empowering, regardless of your cultural background — as he himself is fond of saying: "When you come to an El Vez show, you walk away proud to be a Mexican. Even when you're not." At 8 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Old Town School of Folk Music, 4544 N. Lincoln. Tickets: $21-$25. Call (773) 728-6000; oldtownschool.org.
OLD 97's
A 15th anniversary edition of "Too Far to Care," the major-label debut from alt-country-pop band the Old 97's, was just issued, and the Dallas band is on the road again with a triple-threat bill — playing the album in its entirety, playing a second set of hits, and with singer Rhett Miller opening the show from his solo catalogue. That's a lot of nerdy, aw-shucks goodness. At 8 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Vic Theatre, 3145 N. Sheffield. Tickets: $25. Call (800) 514-ETIX; jamusa.com. — TC
Vancouver native Grimes (Claire Boucher) headlined the smaller stage at last summer's Pitchfork Music Festival but siphoned off a massive crowd from the main stage, bewildering as many as she entranced with her soft, skittering ballads and glitchy, gauzy pop fragments. She knows how to craft a hook, but she casts them into strange, murky waters. Myths and Elite Gymnastics open at 9 p.m. Oct. 22-23 at Metro, 3730 N. Clark. Tickets: $19. Call (800) 514-ETIX; metrochicago.com. — TC

The Ascaso Dream is one of the best espresso machines on the market. It is made from heavy aluminum and contains a brass boiler. It has a classic retro look that's combined with modern technology. In an Ascaso Dream review, it talks about how the espresso machine is a mixture of the past and the future, which means customers receive the best of both worlds.
Controls are Easy to Use
Sometimes dream machines are complicated and hard to use. This Ascaso Dream review will tell you about how easy it is to use this espresso maker. It simply means turning on the center power switch and the boiler instantly heats up. There are two other professional grade rocker switches on the machine that allow the user to control the coffee brew control and the steam function. There are several indicator lights that let you know when the machine's all ready to go and when it reaches the proper temperature for steam milk or brewing espresso. Users say this makes the process a lot easier.
Features People Like About the Dream
The Dream espresso machine uses a pressure gauge to monitor the brewing pressure during the espresso making process. People say this makes sure you're get the right amount of espresso extraction from the beans. Another feature talked about in the Ascaso Dream review is the frothing tip. This wand has been created to make the perfect foam for cappuccinos and lattes. Even better, it doesn't take very long or a lot of extra effort. Technology allows it to quickly convert milk into yummy foam and it's mounted on top of a swivel joint. It's made from stainless steel and conveniently moves from one side to another.
Other benefits of using the Dream are:
- Water pump will extract all available coffee flavors with 16 pars of brewing pressure
- Chrome-plated brass group head helps maintain consistent temperature
- Trays can be removed for easy cleaning
- Brass boiler features two thermostats to maintain appropriate water temperature
- One thermostat prevents overheating
- Simple interface
- Made from vibrant colors for an iconic countertop selection
- Steam wand easily moves to create foam caps
Evenly Distributes Heat
The group head on the Dream machine is made out from chrome plated brass. The concept is taken from Ascaso's commercial espresso machines. This means the group head will evenly distribute the heat during the brewing process so hot spots are eliminated. This means the temperature stays more consistent and the water is distributed more evenly through the coffee grounds.
Tanks, Baskets, and Coffee Holders
This Ascaso Dream espresso machine uses attributes from commercial grade materials. For instance, it has a heavy-duty chrome plated brass coffee holder. On the outside of it there is a rugged plastic handle. The double shot and single shot filter baskets are stainless steel and are 57 mm in diameter. The water tank is removable and can be filled during operation or completly taken out and put under the faucet.
Made for Longevity
It is obvious that the Ascaso Dream espresso machines are made to last. They are constructed with longevity, which is why this Ascaso Dream review says these machines were designed for low maintenance and a long life.

Hounded By Paramilitary Threats and State Smears, Can the New Voice of Colombia's Left Forge Peace?
Indigenous Colombians protesting hold up a banner that reads: "In the face of the rifle, the word."

Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
At the end of April, tens of thousands of Colombians from across the country descended on the capital city of Bogota to announce the birth of a new political movement – the Marcha Patriotica (Patriotic March). The streets were filled with representatives of communities on the front lines of Colombia's struggles against violence, poverty and environmental destruction, united in their calls for a "second and definitive independence."
Yet this new movement was born with an old stigma. Marcha Patriotica's calls for a negotiated peace, economic justice and deeper democracy were quickly drowned out by other voices, denouncing the movement as a terrorist front. First the military and the police, then the media and politicians lined up to accuse Marcha Patriotica of being a political tool for the leftist guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – the FARC.
After the accusations came the threats. Following the Bogota march, the movement's leaders received a message signed the Aguilas Negras (Black Eagles) – a name used by right-wing paramilitary groups. The missive declared the Marcha's leadership "military targets" and told them "you only have a few days left to abandon the city." Already, local organizers have disappeared and one member has been murdered, giving rise to fears of a new political bloodletting reminiscent of the darkest days of Colombia's recent past.
If the Marcha is to realize its primary goal of "peace with social justice," it must also contend with a weakened but increasingly aggressive guerrilla insurgency and a government that risks political destruction if it is seen as "soft" on the guerrillas. Nevertheless, both sides of the conflict have recently edged toward peace with backhanded concessions and tentative calls for talks. Marcha Patriotica was born with stigma and fear, but also a cautious optimism.
A New Voice
The Marcha Patriotica was two years in the making as organizers gathered support from over 1,500 social movements representing a broad range of grassroots leftists and the disenfranchised. One of those organizers, David Florez, is a leader in the student movement and currently one of the Marcha's national spokespeople. "We considered it necessary to build a political movement of the left that responds to another dynamic," Florez said, "that doesn't neglect social or popular mobilizations, that doesn't neglect the demands of students, the indigenous, workers, Afro-Colombians, campesinos and neighborhood organizations ... [but instead] represents these dynamics and practices a new form of politics from these dynamics."
Despite the diversity of groups involved in the Marcha Patriotica, Florez insists they share a common political vision. "All [of these groups] have set themselves up against the neo-liberal model and the commodification of society," he said. In Bogota, the movement united to produce a 17-point platform that challenges the current economic model and calls for sweeping political changes, protection for minorities and the environment, land reform and solidarity based integration with Colombia's Latin American neighbors.
However, the cornerstone of the Marcha Patriotica's platform and of the movement itself remains its proposals for ending Colombia's 50-year internal conflict and transitioning to peace. The movement's main demand and objective is a negotiated peace with Colombia's leftist rebels, the FARC and the ELN – the National Liberation Army – that addresses "the structural problems that created [the conflict]." To prepare the way for this "peace with social justice," the movement has called for the exchange of guerrilla hostages for imprisoned insurgents and a reparation and restitution process for victims of state and paramilitary violence.
"The Marcha could have a fundamental role in peace negotiations," said Florez. "These politics are not an exclusive issue for the state; it has to be a process that the state but also Colombian society and political movements participate in."

It's this woman, Cynthia Dodson, who gives the documentary larger resonance. A 41-year-old African-American receptionist with a whopping 7-centimeter breast tumor, Dodson doesn't have insurance for the same reason so many other full-time workers don't: She was hired on contract precisely so her employer wouldn't have to give her benefits. This trend started before the recession and only accelerated during it, and last fall the number of uninsured hit a record high of 50.7 million, according to census figures.
Like Ricks, Dodson is a talker, but she lacks Ricks' pugnacious bluster and is more affecting for it. "To hear you have cancer and to know you have no means to undergo treatment is"Dodson pauses, dabbing her large brown eyes with a tissue and speaking directly into the camera"very scary."
The first thing that occurs to most people who want to improve breast cancer survival among the poor is mammograms. And while the percentage of poor, uninsured, and minority women who get them is indeed substantially lower than that of their white, wealthier counterparts, access to screening is only a start. Equally important is what happens after a woman without means gets a suspicious finding on a mammogram.
Imagine it: She's unlikely to have a regular doctor to consult for a referral, so she calls around trying to find someone who'll accept a patient without insurance for a biopsy, or whatever diagnostic test she needshow's she supposed to know? A public hospital agrees to take her, though she has to wait a month for an appointment. The biopsy shows she does have a tumor; now to find a surgeon to remove it. Then she has to get enrolled in radiation or chemotherapy. She manages all that but can't find anyone to watch her kids during her chemo, or she becomes so exhausted midway through the cycle that getting to appointments on a bus seems impossiblehow to scrounge up enough money for a cab? She's had to take unpaid leave from her job during her treatment (or was fired outright for missing too much work). Then there's her medicine: It costs $130 per pill. Oh, and did I mention that she keeps hearing that to beat cancer, you need to stay positive and focus on getting well?
Anyone who's lucky enough to get to the Lauren Center, as Dodson was, is assigned a "patient navigator" to help surmount such barriers, financial and otherwise, but clinics that are as well funded and comprehensive as this one are an anomaly. Which again raises the issue of insurance.
Obama's plan, assuming it survives to 2014 when it's slated to go into effect, will add an estimated 32 million Americans to the ranks of the insured. And interestingly, just this July, new, rather conclusive evidence was published showing that medical coverage does increase access to health care for the poor, presumably making them healthier. Dodson didn't need a study to prove it, but the question has lingered because some policy makers have argued that the uninsured can already use the safety net of ERs and clinics like the Lauren Center, oras risible as this seems to anyone who's tried to get past a medical receptionist without an insurance cardcan just go to the doctor and not pay the bill.
Yes, the skeptics knew that there are reams of data to show that the uninsured are sicker and get less care than the insured, but they questioned whether medical coverage was the decisive factor, because people with insurance and those without are different in many ways that can affect health (quality of diet and housing, levels of stress and education, etc.). Enter Oregon's 2008 decision to extend Medicaid to more of the uninsured. Ninety thousand people signed up for 10,000 initial slots, and beneficiaries were selected by random lottery, creating the ideal experimental design. Among the findings: Those who got Medicaid were more likely to go to a clinic or a doctor (35 percent), get a mammogram (60 percent) or cholesterol test (20 percent), report being in good or excellent health (25 percent), and have a "medical home," a certain place they visit for care (70 percent). (Next up for the researchers: comparing the two groups' blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, and actual health.)
Academics had to wait for this "natural" study, by the way, because it's considered unethical to take a group of poor people and give only half insurance, which, if you think about it, means our whole country might be deemed unethical, since medical care is treated as a commodity available to those who can afford it rather than as a public good like education. That is definitely Freeman's point of view"This is a moral question, not a medical question" is a mantra of hisand one Ricks holds as well.
Paradoxically, as Ricks comes to realize in the documentary that money can buy health, she concludes that it doesn't get her something just as importantnamely, meaning. This conversion isn't a foregone conclusion: Ricks had good reason to see money as a kind of magical cape, and judging from how lustily she regales viewers with the perks of her lifehow she flies on private jets, lives in a "$14 million apartment," eats at the "best restaurants"this woman loves living large.
But after she finishes her chemoand Dodson, sadly, diesRicks decides that while she's not about to stop working, she also wants to spend more time with her sons and continue full-bore fundraising for Freeman. (To facilitate that, she downsizes, moving to a much less expensive apartment.) When I interview her and Freeman, in fact, she's all amped up about their next venture (and, yes, she met the original $2.5 million goal and has since roughly doubled it): In alliance with the Harvard Global Equity Initiative, she's hoping to help fund "cross-border patient navigation" for Mexican-born people diagnosed with cancer. The project would target both uninsured people living in the United States legally and those who are undocumented. And how would a chunk of the money be spent? Getting people back to Mexico, where, Ricks says, the access to breast cancer care is better than it is here.

You can find help to determine if sexual play between children is a problem. When presented with a sexual behavior in a child, it is not always obvious whether or not the behavior is anything to be concerned about. Knowing what is developmentally expected is the first place to start. Understanding children's typical sexual development, knowledge, and behavior is necessary to accurately identify sexual behavior problems in children. When there is a concern it is helpful to learn more about the hallmarks of problematic sexual behavior. If you are seeing signs that the behavior may be harmful, it can be very helpful to consult with a professional who specializes in this particular area.
There is a broad continuum of sexual behaviors in children and youth that range from common sexual play to problematic sexual behavior. It is important to recognize that not all concerning sexual behavior in children are an indicator of a serious or ongoing sexual behavior problem. It is essential to speak with a specialist if you are concerned about a child's behavior. This way you and the child can get the help needed to understand and manage the behavior safely.
Additional information about adolescent sex offenders and children with sexual behavior problems is available from the National Center on Sexual Behavior of Youth, www.ncsby.org.

Getting the Job You Really Want
By: Sharona Schweitzer
Posted: November 26, 2008, from the December 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 2
Your work ethic and professional commitment are key. If you get the job, but are often late, unmotivated or bring personal concerns to the workplace, you could build a bad reputation. Getting along with others is a huge benefit with any business. Your skills and education could be outstanding, but no business can afford a team member that is regularly starting or involved in conflict in the workplace with co-workers or clients.
After you have been granted an interview, use some of the information you gathered while researching the spa's Web site; mention something you saw on its site that impressed you. Prospective employers love to know you are interested in their business, and this will lead to an open conversation, rather than just a question and answer session. If the interview ends with, "We'll call you," offer to make yourself available for a second interview or a service demonstration.
Many people start a job with many questions unanswered. Here are some details you will want to be informed about before the final agreement takes place.
- Will I have a regular schedule or will it vary? Please provide an example of an average schedule.
- What duties am I expected to perform when I am not providing services? (Laundry? Answering phones? Inventory or product ordering? Filing?)
- What is the pay structure? (Hourly? Percentage of service? Does that percentage change if I am requested by the client? Station lease?)
- Are medical benefits and liability insurance provided?
- Is commission paid and are there other incentives for product sales?
- What additional benefits are provided? (Advanced education stipend? Discount on services or products?)
- Am I solely responsible for promoting my services? Does the employer promote my services on its Web site, in advertisements and on-site?
You will feel more confident knowing both you and your potential employers are on the same page.
Thank you
As silly as this may sound, be sure to thank people. Thank your prospective employer for the interview and be sure to mail a handwritten follow-up thank you note, too. Thank the person who originally accepted your résumé. Thank people for their time. Thank clients for coming in to see you. And don't forget to thank yourself for taking the time, doing the research and being persistent in order to achieve your goals.

Steve Jobs' Yacht: 'One More Thing'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Steve Jobs accomplished more than most during his run as CEO of Apple (AAPL). iPhone. iPad. iPod. iMac. Before he died, he had "one more thing" he was working on, and now it's finally complete.
Jobs was working on building a yacht with French designer Philippe Starck, and 9to5Mac has a photo gallery of the luxurious liner, which started being built three years ago.
The design of the yacht is unlike most any others out there. The body of the boat almost looks like a trapezoid, whereas most yachts come to a point. The control panel uses iMacs, and from the looks of the pictures the yacht may be incorporating the new iMacs Apple unveiled at its iPad mini event last week.
When rumors hit last year about Jobs and Starck, a designer known for his intricate and extraordinary designs, some speculated that it was a piece of hardware Apple had yet to unveil and show off to the world. Alas, that wasn't true, but something much more for Jobs and his family to enjoy.Jobs lost his battle with pancreatic cancer Oct. 5, 2011. Apple recently honored the one-year anniversary of Jobs' passing with tributes on its Web site. Interested in more on Apple?

Important Information Regarding Deep Sea Fishing
If going deep sea fishing has been a dream of yours then you'll be happy to know it's easier now than it ever has been. Deep sea fishing tours are offered by various charter companies, which can be found wherever there are fish, and they can introduce you to this wonderful sport. If you'd rather learn by yourself you can simply purchase a boat and some equipment.Not everyone knows that Galveston, Texas is one of the most renowned places in the world for deep sea fishing. Because of the variety of fish available in the Gulf Coast throughout the year, both the local people and tourists find the fishing irresistible. You have a chance to reel in some larger species, such as Wahoo, Mahi Mahi and Yellow Fin Tuna, which often weigh up to 100 pounds. The temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico are always warm, so you can fish there during any season. When it comes to going fishing on a charter boat form Galveston, you have a variety of choices and it is possible you would like to test out some deep sea diving and see some of the interesting sea life, up close. There are charter boat services available for you if you are thinking about going deep sea fishing as a beginner. Anywhere there is a feasible fishing area, you will find charter boats that will take you out, like Hawaii, Mexico, Australia or perhaps Florida.Pretty much where there are vast waters, you can locate a means to go deep sea fishing. Most charters offer both hourly and nightly trips; you can choose between the two according to your needs. Most charter outfits that extend this service are quite willing to work with you and depending on the size of the boat, could take anywhere from a single fisherman to a large group. Prior to picking an outfitter, look into the various options and find out if they have know how and a decent standing.Deep sea fishing requires quite a bit of heavy duty equipment, especially when its done commercially. When boats are fishing for a substantial amount of fish all at one time, they will often use trawling nets with two boats.Commercial fishing is under attack due to the numbers of fish it harvests and the other species of fish and such caught accidentally; even some endangered ones. Certain types of the big fish are speared with a harpoon. The average person who goes deep sea fishing will probably not use this type of equipment, but this is what's involved with deep sea commercial fishing. When you are deliberating a deep sea fishing expedition; give all of the issues adequate thought. It's a good idea to plan in advance what type of fish you want to catch and when the best time and place would be for this purpose. Sometimes you may be interested in catching a certain kind of fish, but if your area does not accommodate that species, you will need to be accepting and have fun with what is at hand. Pullup Bar But any deep sea fishing experience can be fun and rewarding.

General description of product: This is a lovely, finely milled powder in a silver case. It is a loose powder, and I believe it was $45 (around $50 shipped) from the NY boutique. It is a beautiful luxury to use.
General description of me: I am a PPP, NC10-15 with red hair and brown eyes. My skin is dry, and I am nearly 35.
Overall impression: This powder is wonderful to use. It has a faint rose scent (not at all cloying, but subtle, like a Chanel blush) and is so finely milled it feels like nothing on the skin. It is one of the only powders I can use that don't look heavy or dry on my skin, just glowy. I love it. This is the perfect color for someone NC10-NC20. So soft and lovely in its finish! My makeup lasts all day yet it isn't at all heavy. I can't say enough good things about this powder. I had previous tried powders from: Prescriptives, Becca, MAC, GA, Laura Mercier, most mineral lines (BE, etailers such as everyday minerals), Bobbi Brown, and MUFE and this is superior to all of them. The only thing that has even come close is MUFE's high definition powder, but this is even better and less expensive per ounce. Combine it with the swan down puff and you will pretty much feel like a vintage screen queen ready for her close up! continued >>

Make the city more comfy at the BMW Guggenheim Lab
11. Make the city more comfy at the BMW Guggenheim Lab
The uptown institution stakes out a temporary downtown claim on an unused piece of city parks land, to foster ideas about better urban planning. Screenings, meditation sessions, talks from renowned thinkers and a pop-up caf run by Brooklyn eatery Roberta's will keep the open-air space abuzz through the fall. E Houston St at Second Ave (bmwguggenheimlab.org). Wed, Thu 1--9pm; Fri 1--10pm; Sat, Sun 10am--10pm; through Oct 16; free.
12. Scope out the new Madison Square Garden
You may have noticed that an eerie quiet overtook the Garden this summer. That's because the arena was undergoing the beginnings of an $850 million renovation that'll shutter it every off-season for the next two years. This fall, MSG will be able to show off the first phase in time for Rangers games (who knows if the Knicks will even get to play). Improvements include a revamped Seventh Avenue entrance, new seats for the lower bowl, fancy premium boxes, and more concessions and bathrooms. Sports will start up at the Garden in October, but you'll also be able to see the changes at concerts, such as Katy Perry's gig on November 16. 4 Pennsylvania Plaza (Seventh Ave) between 31st and 33rd Sts (212-465-6741, thegarden.com)
13. Brew your own beer
Fall is the best time to brew your own alcoholic tipple. Compared with the sweltering summer, the climate in your apartment should be more friendly to the fermentation process (the ideal temperature for ale yeasts is between 65 and 75 degrees). But to take advantage of these favorable conditions, you'll need equipment. Brooklyn Brew Shop (brooklynbrewshop.com) sells convenient one-gallon brewing kits (equipment plus ingredients) in varieties like Everyday IPA and Chocolate Maple Porter ($40). One place you can buy the packages in person is the Beer Room at Whole Foods Bowery (95 E Houston St between Bowery and Chrystie St; 212-420-1320, wholefoodsmarket.com; daily 8am--11pm), which carries a wealth of other hardware, such as five-gallon fermenters, siphon tubes and air locks. In addition to supplies, brew shop Bitter & Esters (700 Washington Ave between Prospect Pl and St. Marks Ave, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn; 917-596-7261, citybrewshop.com; Tue--Sun noon--8pm) offers a Homebrewing Essentials class that'll take you through the process step-by-step (Sept 4, 17, Oct 2 at 2pm; $55).
14. Indulge at the Chocolate Show
You'll spoil your sweet tooth rotten at this cocoa expo, where more than 65 companies will showcase their sugary wares. Taste your way around stands from Valrhona, 2 Chicks with Chocolate and Xocolatti before hitting the demonstration theaters to watch the likes of Zac Young (Top Chef Just Desserts) and Serena Palumbo (The Next Food Network Star) at work. Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W 18th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves (chocolateshow.com). Nov 10--12 10am--7pm, Nov 13 10am--6pm; $30--$40.
15. Sit in on chats with arts heavyweights
The New Yorker Festival returns for its 12th year of conversations between the mag's scribes and cultural luminaries. We're particularly jazzed for tell-all talks with Owen Wilson (Directors Guild of America, 110 W 57th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves; 212-581-0370; Oct 1 at 10pm; $35), glam-rockers Scissor Sisters (Gramercy Theatre, 127 E 23rd St between Park Ave South and Lexington Ave; 212-777-6800; Oct 1 at 10pm; $35) and director David Cronenberg (SVA Theatre, 333 W 23rd St between Eighth and Ninth Aves; 212-592-2980; Oct 1 at 4pm; $30). Set an alarm for Sept 9, when tickets go on sale, and snap them up fast. Location, time and price vary; visit newyorker.com/festival for details.
16. Get a fashion education
All amped up after seeing the Alexander McQueen show at the Met, but confused about where to direct your fashion curiosity? One good place to start this fall would be the "Daphne Guinness" exhibit at the Museum at FIT. Guinness—a fashion patron and designer who has inspired such iconic creators as McQueen and Karl Lagerfeld—cocurated this survey of approximately 100 pieces from her closet, including designs from Christian Lacroix, Tom Ford and Gareth Pugh. Seventh Ave at 27th St (212-217-4558, fitnyc.edu/museum). Tue--Fri noon--8pm, Sat 10am--5pm. Sept 16--Jan 7. Free.
17. Relive Broadway's glory years on Broadway
At a time when revivals of Stephen Sondheim masterpieces are hobbled by orchestras that are too small (cough, cough, A Little Night Music), a new staging of his 1971 classic Follies makes for a refreshing change. A 28-piece pit accompanies star Bernadette Peters, Jan Maxwell, Danny Burstein and Elaine Paige in Sondheim and James Goldman's gorgeous ode to Broadway's faded glories. Marquis Theatre, 1535 Broadway at 46th St (877-250-2929, folliesbroadway.com). $47--$137, premium $225--$275.
18. Get your hands dirty at the World Maker Faire
This gathering brings together individuals obsessed with crafts, technology and science. Participants will display human-sized mousetraps, creatively adorned chariots constructed from bicycles and other vehicles, and robotic creations of every ilk. There's no shortage of participatory activities: You can get your hands on compressed air rockets and marshmallow canons, or get schooled at a lock-picking workshop for aspiring cat burglers. New York Hall of Science, 47-01 111th St at 47th Ave, Flushing Meadows--Corona Park, Flushing, Queens (707-827-7074, makerfaire.com). Sept 17 10am--7pm, Sept 18 10am--6pm. $25, seniors $20, students $15, children 2—7 $18, children under 2 free. Weekend passes: $50, seniors $40, students $30, children 2—17 $10, children under 2 free. Advance tickets available at makerfaire.com through Sept 8.
19. Pay your respects at the 9/11 Memorial
The official monument debuts on the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, with a special ceremony planned for the relatives of those who were lost. It opens to the public the following day, with reservations required for admission. Among the elements visitors will see are two pools in the footprints of the original Twin Towers, each surrounded by bronze plaques inscribed with the names of those who died on 9/11 and during the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. The 9/11 Memorial, enter at Albany and Greenwich Sts (212-312-8800, 911memorial.org). Sept 12--Jan 8: Mon--Fri 10am--8pm; Sat, Sun 9am--8pm. Jan 8--Mar 2012: Daily 10am--6pm. Free; advance reservations required.
20. Support a good cause and burn some calories at Bike MS NYC
With the economy still in the doldrums, nonprofits need more support than ever. Sign up for this ride and you'll get to circle Manhattan—taking a 30-, 50- or 100-mile route—and raise funds for the National MS Society to help find the cause and a cure for MS. This year will be the last time participants get to ride through the Lincoln Tunnel, so if you've ever wondered what it's like to haul ass under the Hudson River on two wheels, now is the time. Meet at Pier 94, Hudson River at 55th St (bikemsnyc.org). Oct 2 at 7:30am. Before Sept 24 $50, Sept 24--Oct 1 $100; plus $150 fund-raising minimum. Registration required.

Studies estimating that the global demand for water, energy, and food will increase by 55%, 80%, and 60% respectively by 2050.
OECD Observer No. 254, March 2006
Most people know the story of the Dutch boy who saved his country by plugging a leaking dyke with his finger until help arrived. For the Dutch, the story had a happy ending, but millions of people living on the world's coastlands were not so lucky in the past year. First, the tsunami in December 2004 killed over 180,000 people in southern Asia, devastating coastal communities in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Maldives.
Climate change is, to a large extent, water change. Water is the predominant channel through which the impact of climate change will be felt. More torrential rains, floods and droughts can be expected in many parts of the world. Not only that–climate change is reshaping the future for freshwater on the planet.
In September, the Kenyan government and the United Nations announced the discovery of huge underground reserves of water in northern Kenya, enough water to last the entire nation for 70 years. The Lotikipi Basin Aquifer and Lodwar Basin Aquifer were located by satellite in drought-afflicted Turkana County, where water scarcity and competition for grazing land has led to deadly cattle raids between communities.
The EU's ban on discarding caught fish in February 2013 has received widespread applause. Why?
"We're going to run out of water much much earlier than we'll run out of oil," warned Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chairman of Nestlé, at the OECD Forum in May 2012.
New York is investing in a greener, cleaner future.
Common sense and dealing with the right people would help unblock badly needed investment in water in developing countries. Mr Briscoe explains.
If America's great civil works such as the Hoover Dam, the Grand Coulee Dam or the Tennessee Valley Authority were proposed today, they would most likely remain ink on paper.
On 8 September 1854, London health authorities removed the handle of a water pump located at the juncture of Cambridge and Broad Streets. The well was famous in the city for the sweetness of its water, apparently used as an ingredient in a "celebrated nectar".
OECD Observer: You are launching Water Agenda to 2030. What pressures led to these reforms?
In the last edition of the OECD Observer we showed how investing in a gas-based kitchen can save lives. The simple water closet can also be a means to good health and dignity, and a source of economic wellbeing, says a new OECD report, Benefits of Investing in Water and Sanitation.

Certificates | Overview | Courses | Program Options | Application and Tuition
The Specialization in Ministering to Women is composed of 12 credits, offered entirely online, at the graduate, undergraduate, and not-for-credit levels.
Dynamics of Preaching and Teaching to Women (3 hrs)
Church based women's leaders are required to communicate biblical, spiritual and emotional truths in a clear, meaningful and contemporary manner. This course will lead the student to develop strong exegetical, teaching, and communication skills, to women.
Women in Leadership and Administration (3hrs)
This course will undertake a comprehensive study of the leadership, character, and administrative qualities required for effective ministry to and with women. It will include an examination of one's personal gifting, personality, and leadership style, combined with a study of the female leadership qualities of discretion, modesty, and discernment. Methods for building effective ministry teams and healthy relationships with senior leadership will be discussed.
History and Theology of Women in Ministry (3 hrs)
This course will present an historical survey of women in the Christian church, beginning with an exploration of biblical characters, then moving throughout history to current day leaders. In so doing, we will examine both the theology of women in ministry, including complementarianism and egalitarianism, and the contributions of women to the evangelical church.
Cultural Norms Affecting Women (3 hrs)
This course is designed to lead the student into a deeper understanding of the cultural norms affecting women, including but not limited to: emotional issues, psychological issues, familial relationships, and socioeconomic challenges. It will map out the fundamentals of biblical and crisis counseling in a 'first response' situation, and explore strategies for developing healthy relationships for shepherding and discipling women.
Online Courses
Online courses are designed to be taken in the comfort of your home and office, providing the flexibility necessary to pursue studies. Training videos orient students to online learning. Online forums allow for heightened interaction between professors and students. Lectures, readings, and assignments are viewed, read, and completed at a student's leisure within a stated time period. If you have never taken an online class before, we encourage you to try something new.
We offer one course each semester as many of our students have responsibilities at work, home, and church. This allows our students time to reflect, study, and complete assignments with excellence, not mediocrity.
Our Instructors
Each course is taught by a specialist in their field. Dr. Joanne Pepper (PhD), history and theology; Bev Peters (MA) teaching and preaching; Jane Muema-Ngui (MBAM) leadership and administration; TBA, counseling and women's issues.
Undergraduate courses are accredited through TWU, and graduate courses are accredited through ACTS Seminaries. To find out at which level you should enroll please contact Nikki Lanigan.

There are three levels of burns:
Burns fall into two groups.
Minor burns are:
Major burns include:
You can have more than one type of burn at a time.
Second degree burn; First degree burn; Third degree burn
Severe burns need immediate medical care. This can help prevent scarring, disability, and deformity.
Burns on the face, hands, feet, and genitals can be particularly serious.
Children under age 4 and adults over age 60 have a higher chance of complications and death from severe burns because their skin tends to be thinner than other age groups.
Common causes of burns from most to least common are:
Burns can be the result of:
This list is not all-inclusive.
You can also burn your airways if you breathe in smoke, steam, superheated air, or chemical fumes in poorly ventilated areas.
If you have burned your airways, you may have:
Before giving first aid, it is important to determine what type of burn the person has. If you aren't sure, treat it as a major burn. Serious burns need immediate medical care. Call your local emergency number or 911.
If the skin is unbroken:
Minor burns will usually heal without further treatment. Make sure the person is up to date on tetanus immunization.
If someone is on fire, tell the person to stop, drop, and roll. Then, follow these steps:
You will also need to prevent shock. If the person does not have a head, neck, back or leg injury, follow these steps:
Continue to monitor the person's pulse, rate of breathing, and blood pressure until medical help arrives.
Call 911 or your local emergency number if:
For minor burns, call your doctor if you still have pain after 48 hours.
Call immediately if signs of infection develop. These signs include:
Also call immediately if symptoms of dehydration occur with a burn:
Children, elderly, and anyone with a weakened immune system (for example, HIV) should be seen right away.

Michelle Malkin: Uncovering the Camp Bastion Cover-Up - A formal internal investigation into lax security at Camp Bastion — a British-run NATO compound that adjoins our Marines' Camp Leatherneck — is now under way. The Taliban waged an intricately coordinated, brutal attack on Camp Bastion in Afghanistan last fall — three days after the deadly siege on our consulate in Libya and after months of prior security incidents and warnings. This led to the most devastating loss of U.S. airpower since Vietnam. Families of heroic Marines who were killed in the battle have learned that their loved ones were left vulnerable to attack by military leaders who outsourced watchtower security on the base to soldiers from Tonga.
Anthony Bradley: What Can Save Chicago? – Chicago is in serious trouble. There has been a rash of crime over the past few weeks that has brought attention, yet again, to a city that cannot seem to make much progress. According to police, up to 80% of Chicago's murders and shootings are gang-related – with a city-wide estimate of 70,000 gang members. These gangs tend to be made of men who come from homes where there is no father. The great tragedy is that the cycle of fatherlessness will not likely be broken anytime soon. The crisis in Chicago is not a call for government solutions because government cannot teach men how to love their children and seek the good of the city. This is a call for the government to get out of the way and let mediating institutions, like the church, help save the city. The most powerful weapon against the current pathologies in Chicago are morally formed, virtuous men and women.
Ken Blackwell: President Obama's Belfast Blarney – During President Obama's recent trip to the G-8 Summit in Belfast, Northern Ireland, he criticized Catholic and Protestant schools and compared them to segregated schools in the U.S. when he was a boy. His remarks were hailed by British atheists. They took his speech for what it was: an attach on faith-based education everywhere.
Bill Randall: Obama's remarks about Catholic schools in Ireland spark debate - President OBama's remarks stunned his Belfast audience. It is not the president's place to lecture another nation on religious liberty and religious divisions within its borders. The best thing that he can do for religious liberty and peaceful relations between faiths in the rest of the world is to set an example in the United States.
Linda Chavez: Keys to staying young – I haven't been young in decades. And middle age passed me by without my ever embracing it. I'm fortunate to have had a mother who lived to 90 and a grandmother who lived to 95. The most important thing both my grandmother and mother did to keep themselves young was to remain cheerful. They didn't complain or feel sorry for themselves. They were grateful for life's simple pleasures. Perhaps it wasn't their accessorized outfits or coifed hair that made them seem so young, bu the smiles on their faces, smiles earned by being kind and giving to others.
Lloyd Marcus: Amnesty: Danger, Danger, Will Robinson! Calling All Tea Partiers! – The passing of the Amnesty Bill is the Tea Party issue of our times. The reason and urgency to pass amnesty are rooted in a lie. Amnesty for over 12 million illegals will usher in the end of the Republican Party, create mega-millions of new democrat voters, and secure a new socialist/progressive America.
Ruben Navarrette: John Morton's ICE legacy is a complete mess – John Morton — director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement — has held one of the toughest jobs in Washington. Some of this is because he has two bosses — President Barack Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano — who send conflicting messages. Obama is the good cop, telling Hispanics that some illegal immigrants will no longer be deported. Napolitano is the bad cop, imposing deportation quotas and bragging to Congress about how many illegal immigrants have been removed. The administration's immigration policy is harsh. It is Morton's job to serve it up and make it look like caviar.
Christina Martin: Life of the Week: Rapper's heartbreaking video on regretting abortion has 6+ million views – The Video for the "Happy Birthday" single was uploaded to YouTube in November 2009, but receives continual feedback and increasing views. The song is about a man apologizing to the child he aborted. The haunting song is about regret over making a mistake that cannot be changed and the loss of a child who was never known.
Deborah Simmons: Drawn-out justice in Sean Taylor's death stills stings – The tragic killing of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor during a break-in at his Florida home and the fact that justice is moving agonizingly slow is a difficult tragedy. America's judicial system is the best and fairest on this planet, but it's easy to understand why the defendants also don't want to rus a reckoning and run up against St. Peter.
Ellis Washington: Happy 65th birthday, Justice Clarence Thomas – Justice Thomas was born 65 years ago this day. For 23 years now, Justice Thomas has almost single-handedly upheld a reverential respect, reliance and expertise for the original ideals and intent of the constitutional framers that is tantamount to the transcendent.
Danny De Garcia: Why President Obama needs a new nuclear strategy – President Obama's renewed commitment to eliminating America's nuclear arsenal has the political right worried about national security. The emerging security narrative among conservatives is that a "new" doctrine of American weakness-by-design has begun under the Obama Administration. What might shock the right is that America's current model of minimal deterrence and calculated ambiguity actually owes its evolutionary origins tot he George H.W. Bush presidency.
Humberto Fontova: "Happy" Birthday, Che Guevara – June 14th marked Ernesto Che Guevara's 5th birthday. Yet amazingly no celebrations were reported by the Obama campaign precinct-captain who in 2008 decorated her Houston office with his famous visage. Pictures subsequently surfaced of Obama campaign worker Maria Isabel at several Obama campaign functions; arm in arm with Barack, in a bear hunt with Michelle Obama, and apparently, very heavily involved in the Obama campaign.
Silvo Canto, Jr: IRS sent tens of millions in refunds to illegal aliens in Atlanta – Guess what government agency needs a little "mail room quality control"? or what agency doesn't seem to care just how much they spend on postage? The IRS mailed 23,994 refund checks to the same address in Atlanta. At some point, the IRS will have to come clean and admit that there are some real operational problems.
Reihan Salam: Immigration Enforcement Trade-Offs – Matt Yglasias argues that increased spending on border enforcement will do very little to reduce unauthorized immigration, as the cruz of the problem will be temporary immigrants who enter the country legally, yet who choose to overstay their visas. My preference would be for much more stringent behind-the-border security and for the elimination fo the guest-worker program, but my preferred policy option has many serious downsides, e.g., the enforcement measurements it would likely require would be expensive, draconian, and potentially intrusive.
