Washington University in St Louis Olin Business School
As an MBA student, you can earn a second graduate degree concurrently in one of the following disciplines:
Combined Degree Programs
Completing the course work for the combined degrees takes three to four years, depending on the program. You may apply to any of the above programs either before entering Washington University or after you have already begun your graduate studies in one of the programs. If the former, you must submit two distinct applications – one to Olin and the other to the second graduate program – and your candidacy will be assessed by two independent admissions committees. If the latter, you must apply to the second program prior to the start of your last year in your current (first) program.
The MBA 3+2 Program option is a highly selective early admission option for an MBA degree where students spend three years pursuing undergraduate course work and then move directly into completing the two-year MBA degree, shaving one year off the typical six-year time frame. The full-time MBA degree requires completion of a minimum of 66 semester credits.
It is available to all eligible Washington University undergraduate students who are pursuing their bachelor's degree in the Olin Business School, School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, or the School of Arts & Sciences. Students interested in this option must apply during their junior year of study. Credits must be allocated as follows:
If you are an Arts & Sciences student considering the 3+2 MBA option,check with the College of Arts a& Sciences Advising Program to establish that you meet these eligibility requirements.

They are a delayed nuke that can be cleansed, etc. Please make them do 30% more damage or so.
thank you
Senior Member
Its already one of the best harassing skills in the game
Casting one doesn't cause tower aggro until it goes off, for one, not to mention you can plop two on one person very quickly...
they are really bad end game in my experience, unless im just building them wrong.
Yes, you can plop 2...for 300 mana. I dont think time bomb needs a buff but it should not be cleanse-able. It is zilean's only damage spell. Not to mention one can cleanse his slow as well. I have faced teams with 5 cleane, and it is not fun trying to harass enemies on a 60 second cooldown that remobed my only damaging spell.
Or maybe have cleanse cost mana or something to balance this out.
Time Bomb is amazing, powerful harassment. Allows you a way to tower dive without triggering the tower for a generous 4 seconds. Time Bomb, Rewind, Time Bomb combo can be very devastating, not to mention its 100% damage splash for your team fights, AND the best part being, its 1.1:1 AP ratio.
Yes Cleanse counters it entirely, but so does it to EVERYTHING else, and somewhere I remember Zileas saying it'll be nerfed soon.
I can understand Cleanse clearing Zil's slow, that's fair enough.
But I agree - no cleansing bombs! It's his only damage spell, why should it be subject to cleansing!
thank u for telling people dat zileans bombs a OP
terrible harassment and many FB from the bomb
with AP,2000+ cc dmg could be done in few sec.
no cleansing bombs with spell or pirate's "W"(only morgana's shield could help with it,but u need to cast 2-3 sec before the bomb is going to boom)

Gardner fed up with local FAA office, requests audit
WASHINGTON D.C. – After years of lost paperwork and now weeks of repeated attempts to contact the Federal Aviation Administration about negligence at the agency's local office in Colorado, Congressman Cory Gardner (CO-04) is still waiting for a reply to his constituents, and he's fed up with the lack of response. His office has been working on several cases where delays have been long and the FAA is unresponsive.
"This type of laziness and disregard from a government agency is unacceptable," Gardner said. "My office has been trying to reach officials at FAA's regional office to address a pressing economic matter that affects the state of Colorado. Every day they ignore us businesses are losing money and the state is losing revenue."
Gardner is requesting that the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation conduct a full audit of the FAA's regional office to find out why it has been negligent in processing permit applications (including losing them) for commercial and agricultural usage. In a letter to the Inspector General, Gardner cites a recent example of FAA ineptitude that needs to be addressed:
"One such matter involves Nickel D LLC's application for a Part 137 permit. Nickel D LLC filed the application at the Denver Field Office in April of 2011. The correspondence received from the FAA outlined that the permit would be completed and processed within two years of the receipt of the application. When Nickel D LLC originally submitted their pre-application for a Part 137 permit, it was lost by the Denver Field Office. Nickel D LLC was never moved up in the line to compensate for the lost application, and now two years later they still have not received their permit or an indication of when it will be completed."
FAA's permits are critical to assisting rural communities throughout Colorado. Gardner's district is over 31,000 square miles, and due to the lack of a large scale airport, small planes provide a vital service in personal transportation and are used for business purposes such as the spraying of fields by agricultural aircraft.
According to Gardner's letter, these small aircraft operators are unable to obtain permits, given no timeframe for approval, and have been treated disrespectfully by the District Office. Gardner hopes to work with the Inspector General to correct these problems and return proper services to Colorado's communities.
Congressman Gardner is a member in the U.S. House of Representatives serving Colorado's 4th Congressional District. He sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee and is a member of the following Subcommittees: Communications and Technology, Energy and Power, and Oversight and Investigations.

September 23, 2010 may well prove to be a particularly important day in the health care reform journey. On that day, six months after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, several key provisions went into effect that were designed to help people see some immediate benefits in advance of the full blown implementation of the law starting in 2014. The most significant provisions that went into effect included the:
September 23, 2010 marks six months since our new national health care reform law, also known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), became effective. It remains a controversial undertaking for some, yet a positive step for others. The law's implementation is a long and complex journey.
This week, the esteemed journal Health Affairs published the latest findings from the office of the Chief Actuary of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), with new estimates on the cost impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The Affordable Care Act was signed into law on March 23, 2010. As health care reform is implemented and the United States continues to devote extensive resources to health care; there are real opportunities to improve health care quality and equity by improving pain care. Specifically, pain research practice and policy can substantively inform the broader national health care policy debate (Green 2008). Pain has reached epidemic proportions with nearly 100 million Americans living with acute, chronic, cancer pain or pain due to a terminal illness. Yet pain is a silent epidemic, and pain care is plagued by problems with access, assessment, treatment, quality, and disparities (Green, Anderson et al. 2003). Aging baby boomers and increased survival from catastrophic injuries, cancer, and diabetes will yield dramatic increases in the prevalence of pain and has long term implications on the nation's health and well-being. The epidemic coincides with problems in health care access, quality, and disparities. Thus, undiagnosed, untreated, and under-treated pain is a significant public health problem.
On August 1, 2010, the U.S. District Court in Virginia ruled that the lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act (ACA) can proceed. Judge Hudson defined the issue as: "whether or not Congress has the power to regulate – and tax – a citizen's decision not to participate in interstate commerce [by choosing not to buy health insurance.]" A summary judgment hearing on the case will occur on October 18 and every state and the federal government will be watching closely to see how the judge rules on the merits.
One of the provisions I particularly like in the Affordable Care Act is the section that provides $1.5 billion over five years to states for home visiting programs for new mothers.
On July 13, 2010, HHS released final rules telling providers of care how to demonstrate the "meaningful use" of electronic medical records in order to be eligible for incentives starting in 2011. By 2015, most providers who don't adopt electronic medical records will face penalties. The originally proposed rules were considered too rigid by many, and would have made it too difficult for hospitals and physicians to earn incentives. The final rules do give more flexibility than the initial rules published in January: the threshold to earn incentives is set somewhat lower and the bar is not an "all or nothing cliff."
Early reviews are in and they are favorable! Public opinion polls show support for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) creeping up to 48 percent. All of that is good news, and a well-deserved commentary on health reform: States and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have been moving quickly to put in place the most immediate requirements of the law, and communities, providers, and others are stepping up to participate in health reform opportunities (e.g., funding for more primary care training slots through the Prevention and Public Health Fund). In addition, states have announced the beginnings of temporary high risk pools, and the federal government has debuted a new website - www.healthcare.gov - to help consumers in every state navigate their health care options.
The confirmation process for Don Berwick as President Obama's nominee to be director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services within the Department of Health and Human Services should be a most distressing sight to anyone who has spent their careers in health policy – or who even has a passing interest in the policies and politics of health care. And, if Dr. Berwick's critics prevail, all citizens should be concerned about the message that would send about health care in this country.
Earlier in June, the New York Times ran an article by Adleson and Reed questioning the findings in the Dartmouth Atlas. Jack Wennberg and colleagues have been working in this field and documenting small area variation in health care since the 1970s. However, the work was not much recognized outside of academic and health care analytic circles until the start of the discussion on national health reform. In a very short period of time, the analysis went from being in the sole domain of providers and policy wonks (hmm, could that be me?) to being on the tip of the tongue of policy makers in Congress and the White House. Tracing the trajectory of this research from relative obscurity to the New York Times article provides an interesting insight into both the policy making process and the risks and opportunities inherent in trying to translate research into public policy.

Numpty has form here – it's obvious that C. unt is how he habitually thinks of H.unt and probably how he refers to him in conversation with his fellow-travelling Al JaBeeBa colleagues – like Marr!
Do they all shop at FCUK ?
So how is it that a used Beyond the Crash costs more than a new Beyond the Crash ? Also, as Gordon's epic only came out this morning, why are there used copies on sale already?
The first review is not promising much for Gordon's insight either.
I am surprised that any publisher thought it financially viable to publish such a book by such an author. I am guessing that the whole project has been underwritten by taxpayers money!
Yep Gordon wrote his book during firm's time on full pay. He even claimed expenses off his firm so that he could go down to London and meet up with the publisher. The UK taxpayer has funded Gordon's book from cover to cover.
WOW what insight, what analysis
Well named.
Who the c u n t are you, anonymous?
Guido , The BBC must be scrapped , Its getting like NPR in the states a leftie hot bed
Just to add , sorry Guido , I hope he proposes a 50% cut in the BBC budget .
I would prefer compation ( subsciption, Choice) , Do i want my taxes going into Pollys pocket ? Or Yasmins ? Or anyother "Guest" .
The BBC and parliment are so removed from real life that they dont see what happens ,.
Do we need parliment ? I ask this sometimes because of waste , Lies , Spin , Bullshit , Theft . And for what ??? Higher taxes , Higher waste , More lies , More Spin . What is the answer ? .
1 . Dictatership ?
2 . Better MPS that care ? And listen ? and Act ?
3 . Is there a better way ? All Parties are dancing on the pinhead , We have a red mafia and a blue mafia .
Is there a better way ?
Compation? That word is not cromulent.
He's embiggened this blog with his wonderful words
"Do we need parliament ?"
A very, very good question.
Many of the major decisions that effect this country are taken behind closed doors (in the case Zanuliebour, major decisions were not subject to even cabinet scrutiny). Parliament is there merely to give our corrupt politicians a veneer of legitimacy in the eyes of the sheeple.
Many of the major decisions take place, not only behind closed doors, but in a foreign country by unelected foreigners.
With the characteristic shite spelling, you are Billy Bowden and I claim 4 leg byes…
How about 100%
Team Dave will never do what is necessary – cut the BBC in half & then some.
Team Dave has committed £18 billion pounds of taxpayers TV Tax for the next 6 years for the BBC to carry on with their internationalist anti English left wing agenda.
He is using taxpayers cash to essentially fund a political organisation that is too big & too powerful – the BBC stifles & strangles the broadcast market globally.
As well as giving at least an extra £8 billion to the undemocratic EU, he has prioritised both the BBC & the EU as higher in importance than defence of the realm.
Blue Labour out.
Get a life Billy.
Hey! Anyone can mangle their words occasionally.
We're gonna need a new, top-dog word. This one's a bit fishy.
The TV-Tax is an abomination, akin to charging people a letterbox tax in order to deliver junk mail 24 hours a day.
The BBC needs to be run on subscription, and it's board needs to be elected by subscribers.
Time to end entertainment funded by threatening to kidnap people (The unique way AlJaBeebya is funded).
I told them 4 years ago to piss off until they had a warrant – now I just get the silly letters and ignore them.
They haven't got a leg to stand on anyway – under Phony Tony's Ooman Rights Act, the telly tax is illegal anyway – they can regulate broadcasting but not reception.
Article 10 is the one to look at – read it and let Crapita weep.
Approaching 4 years of wilful non payment.
Know your rights and TV Licensing, the thugs of the BBC, cannot touch you.
I absolutely refuse to pay a tax to fund a left wing subversive organisation that undermines my country, its history, my heritage, my culture and my language.
It is every English persons duty to boycott the TV Tax.
Yeah, either 3 or 4. Not personal, just political.
Well said sir.
Mark Thomas on Talk Sport saying he supports the protests at Top Shop. But presenter Ian Collins is criticising the hypocrisy of the tuition free protestors.
I suppose we should be grateful for the fact that half of our 'students' are seeing some daylight and breathing some fresh air.
According to Jeremy Vine, the other half are hopelessly addicted to their computer screens ;-O
I can't listen to Ian Collins – he's a prime candidate for the next Peter Hitchens. Some good ideas, but a statist at heart.
I'm going nowhere fast!
Some cun't just got fingered.
The BBc could never had such good sport covarge and innovation without compation ( Sky) , There innovations ( HD , 3D ) have changed tv .
Ashes cover is better
Smoke me a kipper. It'll all be over in an hour.
I might start listening to the R4 Hunt Programme now. It's that fucking shit and biased it's funny. 'Mike Crockart' was funny on WATO too. BBC News & Cu███nt affairs programmes are amateurish bollocks.
The Guidoization of Politics has come full circle and the BBC now allows a word the great man dare not allow.
Hang on . I thought you could say whatever you wanted in parliment under privlge ? You are meant to reflect your voters views ( and those that didnt vote for ya ) . If your constiuants want you to call someone a c-unt then shouldnt you do it ? I mean , freedom of speech , Or doesnt that exsist in the highest court in the land * ?
* Excluding the EU, America and anyone else we arse lick .
"Very amused that Guardian editorial today links to Guido's blog. Nice to know that the leader writers are addicted co-conspirators."
I ploughed through some of the comment on their site today. A more humourless, mind-numbing, depressing and pointless hour, I would not wish to inflict on my worst enemy.
The Sun is shining for England , When we get lower taxes and less waste we can be more happy
Billy got new name , To respect Guidos Blog .
Job done, Billy.
I am not a c unt. I am a tree.
Get back to your bottle garden.
Truly the Guidoisation of broadcasting, taking a cue from the window lickers.
Today i will be a suicide bomber .
At last. You could have done that 13 years ago. Have a practice first though – somewhere quiet with no-one around.
Can I light the touchpaper please, sir?
Handy was very shitski in bedski!
i ust 2b on itv
This will give everyone a laugh. Beyond The Crash is ranked 717 on Amazon's sales chart! :-D
That must really piss off whoever is at 718!
Is Basher's decision to vote against the increase in tuition fees a calculated manoeuvre against Cameron?
More like a calculated manoeuvre on Shami……
No. He is just being consistant with his opinions.
Voted strongly against introducing student top-up fees.
These principle thingies, I think I may need a couple. Where can one buy them and how much do they cost?
They wouldn't suit you because a strong one lasts a lifetime, Short-term promises that can be ignored at the drop of a LibDem's trousers are your best bet.
What do you call a group of BBC journalists?
A bunch of c*nts.
Fan-bloody tastic Billy! 1 – 0 to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to let Liebor pay for their propaganda machine. The whole place has been stuffed with Fabian Society adherents for years now. Non-biased and impartial? Not the BBC, that's for sure. The Fabian dream of a single party socialist state run by the "intellectual left" for the benefit of all ignorant ***** who can't see the 'fairness' of allowing them to dicate what we think, do, say and eat.
Cut the Beeb's funding off now, sell off the lcence and let Liebor and the Fabians find a new means to propagate their lies.
Nah, more quietly enjoying watching the spectacle of the bbc realising the tide has turned against them.
bbc waste of public monies , an accepted fact. Check.
bbc left wing pro-labour bias, an accepted fact. Check.
bbc on the defensive in all areas. Check.
"I'm probably the most pro-BBC Conservative leader there's ever been."
"I would never do anything to put the BBC at risk."
That's why I love the BBC license fee, and will continue to use the threat of imprisonme*nt to ensure you pea*sants keep paying it.
Speaking of paying, I've got to pay today's EU membership fee – £45million – with your money. So work harder, peasant*s!
Toodle pip..
simply putting FACT after an opinion doesn't make it a fact you fucking retard
what you are doing is called assertion you dumb cun't
try looking it up
Get rid of the BBC and the licence fee…… now that would be a cunning stunt !!
The speaker in 'did well' shocker.
'The opposition did not hear what they thought they heard'
Aye. But I heard what I thought.
"I am neither a finance expert nor a trained economist "
Extract from which book?
Answers on a postcard
He cannot even get humility right!
"Economics 101″ by G Brown, or "How I fucked the economy in ten easy lessons".
Available in bins outside your local Oxfam shop, £0.99.
But is it "peer-reviewed"? It does cause global warming when burned.
Perhaps WWF, Oxfam and Greenpeace should be told.
You can all mock. But Gordon 'Jonah' Brown still grabbing the headlines…
Is he fuck 'grabbing the headlines'.
We're handing them to him on a silver platter.
mock the weak
"Gordon Brown finally admits he is not an economics expert"
Fuck Bercow is an insufferable little Hunt. I bet he thinks his interventions are just so funny.
Even so , he's a vast improvement on his predecessor
The BBC political comment/reporting is questionable however the programmes BBC – Nature UK such as Autumn and Spring watch and a whole host of drama productions would be a great loss.
All those that call for BBC scrappage must be in favor of the likes of Rupert Murdochs mindless repeating advertising 5 mins out of every 20 and crappy yank junk programmes bought for a pittance and shown at vast advertising profits to drippy couch potatoes.
The programmes are made by production companies havinng been commissioned by the BBC.
The production companies could still make them and they could get aired elsewhere if there was no BBC
Make the BBC a subscription broadcaster with the option of pay-per-view on individual programmes, for those who do not wish to subscribe.
If it is as popular as the BBC and their brainwashed supporters believe it is, then they should make more money and still provide the "quality" entertainment and without resorting to 'seedy' advertising.
What are they afraid of?
A rolling plebiscite on the popularity of their shows. The ability to test the price elasticity of demand on a per-show basis. The possibility that the quasi-mythical viewer panels used to determine TV ratings contain systemic bias. Being made to face cold hard fact, rather than snuggling up with their internalised pre-judgements and the deadening Groupthink of the White City collective.
Any more for any more?
Fuckin hell is Jeremy Kyle a Yank ?
He's certainly a jerk.
Look moron,
No one is saying that we should stop quality original content programming in Great Britain.
Look at Top Gear, look at all the exported "product" the BBC sells globally – it can commercially stand on its own two feet in the free market.
Cut the funding & let the BBC decide from a commercial viewpoint what it is going to keep (the profitable stuff that they sell already) & what must be scrapped – you know programmes – the Welsh history programmes, the common purpose programmes, the Scottish history programmes, the institutional left wing propaganda programmes, BBC News, BBC Persia the list of political programming that the British are forced to pay for under threat of prison if they refuse is endless.
And "Rusty Dave" has just given them over £18 billion pounds for the next 6 years – £18 billion of our money.
There is nothing Conservative about Dave Cameron and those here that hope he will do what is necessary to the BBC is deluded.
The only way forward is non payment – and there is no reason on earth why the English should pay for a political organisation that clearly hates and despises us.
arh bless Sophie. You said "there is nothing Conservative about Dave Cameron"……so why did you vote for him then…apologist
'Chris Packham shows us how changes in nature around us provide solid proof that climate change is already happening.'
Lying, it's what the BBC do, in everything they do too.
The climate changes. That should not be a surprise. Trying to stop climate change, however, is definitely for Knuts.
100 generations or so ago, there was ice half a mile thick here.
Adapt or die!
I didn't, I voted UKIP.
I was never going to vote for a Blue Blair, especially when he actually told everyone that he was Blair MKII.
Happy to help you out there.
Pwned again, wanker – you get it wrong lots……..don't ya…?
reality continues to ruin my life
Simple solution. Instead of a paper telly Licence issue a viewing card. Then those who want Nature watch can both watch and pay at the same time.
There would be no need to police the streets to spy on people to see if they are watching a telly as only those who have paid to watch the BBC would be able to watch the BBC.
Of course they won't as they know their revenues would dry up. Which leads to the reason why they have made their material so easily obtainable over the www and satellite, which is they can carry on charging the telly tax.
Not forgetting the BBC staff pensions which the best part of the telly tax goes to.
Speaking of Hunts and the BBC, please, christ on a fucking bike, say its not true Woss is about to Weturn.
Today I will be supporting the students' boycott of the Lib Dems
If you shout c*nt in the house of conmens !
647 c*nt's will turn round
So many c*nts in one room
must smell like Grimsby docks in there !
Totally snowed in yesterday so have set off EXTRA early to go to London #superearlytweeting
— Sarah Brown (@SarahBrownUK) December 7, 2010
Snow in Cantebury then?
Perhaps she is going to the garand opening of Gordon's book?
Utter utter scum
Fair play,i know i would.
Good job Balls, keep it up !!
UK schools 'fall behind Estonia and Slovenia', says OECD
UK schoolchildren today plummeted down a major international league table after being outscored by pupils from countries including Estonia, Lichtenstein and Slovenia.
Arrrhhhhhh. It all make sense NOW.
The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, has been arrested by the Metropolitan Police in London.
Marly Lights Dave, just so happens to have skipped the UK today…. We can only wonder why. Assange just a little too politically hot for our light weight PM
While he's there he can give Karzai a kick in the nuts, or is that wishful thinking?
Let's all be crims, no punishment.
So James Numptie has used a four-letter word and finds it funny. Typical of a pseudo-intellectual type that is very common in the West End of Glasgow
Easy to make a slip-up on air. Like referring to the family secrets of certain prominent media figures.
'Jeremy will deliberately and maliciously target the BBC,'
If only he would, the poisonous corporation and it's vile, propagandising residents, need a thorough cleansing. Unfortunately, Cameron has neither the balls or the inclination to do anything of any substance at all.
I am now penning my searing, in-depth study of post-punk popular music, Beyond The Clash.
They really were boring c'unts
I am now penning my searing, in-depth study of pre-school childcare, Beyond the Creche.
I am now penning my searing, in-depth study of pottery restoration, Beyond the Crash.
everything i own, eat or drink is as a result of others hard work, risk taking and creativity
Changing the subject guys there is the most breathtaking article by Poll today:
Breathtaking not because of what she says (usual tripe) but because of the level of her hypocrisy. Amazing stuff. I'm beginning to think that you chaps are right and she actually does have a tile off.
What's a hoon?
AsaHuntry gentleman I find it all rather jolly, that such a delightful olde English word should be banded around. Not just on the Beeb, but also in the mother of all Parliaments, by a Minister of the Crown. We must all pay particular attention to the Queens speech this year, who knows, perhaps, maybe she will drop one in!
But I wrote 'asaHuntry' gentleman. No —king around please.

Even though they've split since their courtship on The Bachelor, the drama between Vienna Girardi and Jake Pavelka carries on. A series of rumors and accusations have come from both sides and now Girardi's ex-boyfriend Brian Lee Smith is claiming she proposed marriage to him just a week before going on the show.
In an interview with RadarOnline.com, Smith claims Girardi "asked to marry me two weeks before she went on the show," adding, "She asked me to put a ring on her finger."
Girardi, 23, and Smith had reportedly been dating on and off for four years before she decided to give The Bachelor a try. "I loved her and I didn't want her to miss out on the opportunity to be on The Bachelor, but I didn't think she would win," Smith said. An unorthodox approach to relationships to say the least, wouldn't you say?
The spurned former beau says he thought Girardi would return to him after her time on the show and also claims he was in contact during her engagement to Pavelka and that they were intimate just 10 days before her break-up with the Bachelor star. "I thought that she would make a little bit of money and have a couple of TV appearances, but she is so manipulative and amazing at what she does -- she won, and I should have known!"
Are you sick of all the Vienna and Jake drama or is it more entertaining than The Bachelor itself? Chime in below!

A: Yes, the 1180R or 1180RD can be used in place of the standard AVAtrix Cat 5 receivers, with the use of Model 1110 two-to-one Cat 5 Adapter. The analog audio pathway is not available at the 1180 Series reciever, but a separate IR breakout jack provides a way to wire an IR receiver at the zone.

Agriculture is a critical part of New York's economy and a strong tradition I am committed to helping preserve. Farmers in New York and across the country work hard every day to provide a safe, affordable and abundant food supply, but many have faced hard times in this tough economy.
Dairy farmers in particular faced a historic crisis in 2009, when milk prices dramatically declined even as middle class families continued to pay the same price at the store. As New York dairy farms struggle to recover from this crisis, I am working in Congress to end to the price instability that has caused such a large part of our economy to suffer for years.
New York has a strong agricultural tradition and a wealth of resources that make our state a great place for production. I am well-advised by many from the area who are doing exactly that, as I have assembled an agricultural advisory committee of local farmers and producers with whom I consult on these issues. As Congressman, I take every chance I get to help farmers grow their operations and find new opportunities to succeed. To that end, I have introduced legislation to improve access to farm credit, reduce barriers for local apple growers who export to Canada, and create growth opportunities for New York maple producers.
In addition, I continue to support a farm worker program that makes sense for local employers and ensures an adequate labor supply for family farms. Even with historically high unemployment, I consistently hear from farmers who struggle to find workers for their operations. The unwillingness of Americans to perform the labor-intensive work required by our region's dairy farms, apple orchards and other specialty crop operations has forced these businesses to rely on immigrant labor. Although many of these foreign workers have returned to the U.S. for generations to fill this critical need for family farms, the broken and unreliable H-2A visa program often makes it difficult or even impossible to obtain these workers legally. We must address this agricultural labor crisis to ensure the long-term survival of New York's family farms.

Why Pets Don't Make Good Holiday Gifts
Pets thrive best where there is a loving atmosphere with proper care and attention. At first it might seem like a good idea to give a cute puppy or a kitten as a gift to your children or loved ones, but please think on the following points before giving a pet as a gift this holiday season.
Does the family have
adequate space for a new pet?
A lot of dogs and cats are not
suitable for apartment living. They require a decent sized backyard to exercise or run around. If you give an inappropriate pet, they will end up living in cramped spaces and this often results in destructive behavior inside the house.
Do they even want a pet as
a gift?
They might have expressed
a desire to get a pet, but it does not mean they
want one now. A pet is like a child, and comes with just as much financial responsibility. Are they willing to pay for basic pet necessities like food, toys, leashes, collars, bedding, veterinary care, spaying, neutering, medications and emergency care?
Children may be too young
to understand and accept pets
as gifts.
To them, a pet might look like a cuddly soft toy and if he's small, children might accidentally hurt it. Before getting a pet for your child, discuss this topic with them. Make them understand that it is not a toy but a part of the family and explain the responsibilities that come with owning a pet.
During Christmas a new pet
in the house might seem like a
great idea, but post-holiday, the pet will not vanish.
It is now a part of the family for life. Most people are not prepared for that kind of commitment and invariably end up either giving the pet away to an overcrowded shelter or abandoning them.
Adapting to a new house is always
difficult for a pet, it needs time, love and attention
for it to trust you and adjust to the new household
and family.
Introducing a new pet during holiday season will only bring stress. Pets, like babies, need routine; with the constant comings and goings of holiday guests, parties, and other chaotic factors, you might not be able to stick to that routine. This can result in serious anxiety in your pet and can result in delays in training and result in behavior and trust issues.
Since pets are lifelong commitment, take your entire family to a nearby shelter. Discuss the pros and cons of owning a pet. Discuss the different breeds and if they are suitable to your environment or way of living.
If any of your neighbors or family members has pets, ask your child/children to spend a day with those pets to understand the responsibility involved.
Instead of gifting a pet, put together a gift box of items such as pet food bowls, collars, toys etc. and explain that the live pet can be adopted after the holidays, once the family has enough time to devote to it.
Volunteer at your local dog park or humane society during the holidays. This will not only give you a chance to understand pets, but also give you a chance to figure out which type of pet best suits your household.
Buy a stuffed animal for small children instead. Or better yet, take them to a petting zoo for the holidays.
any people have received pets during holidays that became great companions. We just caution you to do some research before adopting a pet into your family. If you think that you and your family are ready to accept a new member, even during the holiday hustle and bustle then we urge you to choose a pet from a shelter or a local humane society. Better yet, donate to these organizations during the holidays and adopt a pet from them after.

How do you become a member of the GMA?
Becoming a member of the GMA is easy! Simply click on the membership tab on our website, then click "apply now" to start the process! We can also email you a membership form if you would prefer to email, mail or fax us your info directly. Send your request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
What are the benefits of becoming a member of the GMA?
There are 2 different categories of GMA Membership: Individual and Organizational. To check out benefits for an individual membership, click here. To check out the benefits of an organizational membership, click here.
Will the GMA listen and submit my songs to artists, record labels and/or publishers?
Unfortunately, we do not submit unsolicited songs and demos to artists, record labels and/or publishers on behalf of anyone. However, we do have a heart for independent Christian artists, songwriters, worship leaders and future music business professionals and desire to train & connect them with top music insiders through our music training experience called IMMERSE. The music business is all about relationships. The best way to connect with industry professionals is through conferences like IMMERSE. For more information about IMMERSE please visit http://www.experienceimmerse.com.
Will becoming a member of the GMA get my music heard by artists/record labels/publishers?
As an organization, the GMA's mission is to expose, promote and celebrate the gospel though music, and our desire is to create networking opportunities such as IMMERSE and the GMA Dove Awards where member connections can be made. However, out of respect for our professional members, we do not promote or pitch songs to them on behalf of anyone.
How do I break into the Christian music business?
Pursuing a career in the Christian music world is difficult because there is not one clear path that guarantees success. Everyone in the business has a unique story of how they got into it. Whether you want to be an artist, songwriter, music business professional or all of the above, a great place to start is with the resources that are in front of you.
- Start promoting your music to your friends and family via social media
- Get involved with the music ministry at your church
- Volunteer your gifts & talents to organizations that need them
- Network with other artists & musicians around town at local concerts and events
- Attend music conferences where you can learn, be trained and grow in your craft
The Bible says in Luke that "whoever can be trusted with the little things, can be trusted with much…" If you believe this is what God is calling you to do, be faithful with the resources He's put in front of you and in His time, He will begin to open the right doors.

Vex is a soft pale green/pink duochrome. You can't see the green or pink unless you're about three inches from the e/s. This looks grey and drab. I don't like it and won't repurchase.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have only tried a few MAC eyeshadows and I have to say that this is NOT my favorite. The color looks really cool in the pan and then you put it on and EWWW, it is a frosted green. Not cute at all. Would NOT repurchase.
For reference: NC30/LM beige ivory, hazel-green eyes, dk brown hair.Vex is a tricky color! It appears to be a sage green with iridescent pink tones in the pan, but on the lid, it kind of looks like a skin-toned pink?? Hard to describe! Shimmery, and it changes color with different angles in the light. I was afraid to buy this, because one of the reviewers here made me laugh when she commented how this was a corpse-like color, and that all morticians must have Vex in their corpse make-up kit!! LOL! So the first time I used it, I was self-conscious that I was looking like a zombie all day, and people were going to wonder if I was sickly or something! BUT- not so... at least not for me. Vex does not make me look dead or corpse-like. The first time I used it, I used Trax in the crease, but I wasn't really crazy about that pairing on me. Today I paired Vex w/Botanical, and I think I hit a homerun! These two go very nice together! Vex is pretty unique, so yes, I would repurchase if necessary... EDIT 7/5/06: Vex also goes nicely with MAC Girlie or Haux in the crease! Just thought I'd throw that in there becuz some gals mentioned having a difficult time pairing Vex up with other colors. continued >>
This is a great colour..it really brightens up the eye. In the pot it looks to be a grey-ish colour, but on the lids (depending on the colour you wear it with) it appears pink or green. I used this on my mom once too and it looked great on her as well:) I would definitely recommend purchasing Vex..it would look great on practically everyone!
I love Vex. I'm NC45, and it comes out looking pale pinkish purple on me. I can pair it with so many shades. It looks great with Motif for a pink look. I also use it as an all over shade to build up a purple look. I haven't tried it with greens, but it is extremely versatile. Well worth the buy.
This is a complex and unique shadow. MAC's website describes it as a soft pale green duochrome with pink opalescent shimmer. Now that is a description that would have sent me running for the hills a year or two ago. It took me a while to try it at the counter, but once I did I was sold. I thought it would be garish on me, but its very subtle and pretty and makes my almost non-existant eyelids (I have hooded lids) brighten up and appear to exist. It also picks up other colors so beautifully that you can use it with a variety of shades. I have it on my lids today with Botanical (which I'd considered taking back) in the crease and it makes for a really pretty and natural look; in fact, it looks particularly nice with Botanical if you bought that one and weren't sure what to pair with it. I'm amazed at how much I like Vex. A total surprise for me. I'm tempted to wear it everyday. I'm very fair with green eyes and brown hair for reference.
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The best eyeshadow ever!! One quick swipe on the lids for instant movie star! This shadow is complex: duochrome greyish champagney with strong pink reflections. It's hard to describe but you should at least try it at the counter. Looks fantastic and understated with Grey Utility. I'm GGG/LLL with yellowish pink skin (I know, I'm weird :) ) and blue eyes.
I love this color! A MAC artist recommended it for me to pair with Shale. I was told it would look great on my dark brown eyes (fair to med skin tone with yellow undertones, dark brown hair). When I saw the color I wondered how it could be possible, it looked boring, and the artist knew I do not like boring. HOWEVER, when I tried it on I was SO happy! It is a beautiful shimmery taupe on me. A bit on the silver in it. It makes for an excellent smoky eye when I put it over entire lid, then put Shale in crease and outer corner. I lined with Prunella liner, and black gel liner over top lid. Couldn't ask for a better night-on-the-town look!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
oooohhh. I love this. It brightens up my eye and is a simple lid shadow that I just can put on and go it does not need "sidekick" shadow support ;)
"Vex" is one of those interesting neutrals (everyday kinda shade with a twist) that I love collecting. On me, it is a dirty light taupe with a slight olive-grey cast (that makes the creamy beige base color look 'dirty) and the super-faintest hint of pink. It brightens up my lid area very much and is different enough from my collection of taupes, nudes, creams, beiges, etc. that it warrants a place in my 15-pan. I think the texture is pretty good--soft and velvety and easily blended. I have not tried this wet yet. The price for a pan is kinda expensive, but perhaps worth it for a unique color.

In Hot Water: Cigarette Racing boat inspired by Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Feb 17th, 2010 at 7:59AM
Mercedes-Benz and Cigarette Racing converged upon the 2010 Miami International Boat Show last week to unveil a new 46-foot custom racing boat inspired by the automaker's SLS AMG supercar. In lieu of the Gullwing's lone 6.2-liter V8 engine, which puts out a measly 563 horsepower, the Cigarette boat offers a pair of twin-turbocharged 552-cubic-inch Mercury Racing engines. Each mill cranks out 1,350 horsepower. Yep, that's 2,700 total horsies. Giddyup. The new Cigarette 46-foot Rider features hand-applied AMG ALUBEAM silver paint, as seen on the SLS AMG supercar.

Earthquake of 6.9 Magnitude Rocks Ferndale, California
A 6.9 Earthquake has just been reported 48 miles West North West of Ferndale. Ferndale is based in Humboldt County and is a small town located near the famous California redwoods forest. There have also been aftershocks reported, but no damage.
Typical reports of earthquakes have more often been based in bigger cities, with the last history-making earthquake taking place in Northridge in 1994. The Northridge earthquake was a 6.7, but up to 72 were killed. It is not likely that the Ferndale area earthquake will have made as great of an impact as the Northridge quake, but reports have yet to be released.

There was a 4.7 earthquake between Sedona and Flagstaff, AZ close to the same time.
Doesn't look as bad as the one in 91? 92? Houses in Ferndale fell off of foundations then.
Hope my family is alright. Our little town of Ferndale sure has had its share of earthquakes. Love and Prayers to all.Mari Morris
Photo not taken in Ferndale, CA. All is good here. Very nominal damage, if any. Just a LONG slow steady shake.
Whats that picture of? It happened late last night and the sun isnt up in California yet. Hope everyone is ok
Did Santa Cruz California get the earth quake too ?

Wales' ability to protect its environment and manage long-term water supplies against the threat of climate change has been boosted by a new link-up between the University and Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water.
Designed to share expert knowledge and research, the new joint working arrangement will provide Welsh Water with access to the University's research expertise in a number of key areas including water and waste management systems, energy efficiency, water quality and pollution control.
Professor Derek Jones, Director of Business and Strategic Partnerships said: "We're delighted to be embarking on a new working arrangement with Welsh Water.
"Water is a vital resource. The threat of climate change will make water management both more important and more challenging. This agreement will help the University to share and apply its expert knowledge and research skills not only for the benefit of our students, but also for people living in Wales in some very important areas of their lives."
Nigel Annett, Managing Director of Welsh Water said: "This historic agreement forges the link between two valued Welsh institutions. We are looking forward to the benefits this will bring to our customers through combining the skills, expertise and enthusiasm of the people within our businesses."
In one of the first results of the new arrangement, two MSc students from the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences will work closely with Welsh Water on a number of practical research projects. The partnership also allows the students to gain practical experience in an industrial setting, providing them with ideal training to improve their practical skills.
Dr José Antonio Constantine, School of Earth and Ocean said: "With the stresses of climate change, the new arrangement between Welsh Water and Cardiff University will do much to improve the management of water resources in Wales while protecting our local environment for future generations.
"Thanks to this arrangement, Welsh Water will have access to the University's world leading and diverse range of expertise to help in improving its environmental services to Wales."
As well as student sponsorships, the University and Welsh Water are seeking to collaborate and share knowledge in a number of ways including specific research and development projects, student projects, staff exchanges, placements and secondments.

ASD Prepares In Advance for Hurricane Sandy
At ASD – Answering Service for Directors, we understand that you can't control the weather, but you can control how you prepare for it. As many funeral directors on the East Coast are bracing for the affects of Hurricane Sandy, ASD wanted to let their clients know what measures they have taken to prepare for events like this.
For over five years, ASD's owners searched for a building that met both their safety and technological requirements before choosing the current location in Media, PA. The company's newly constructed, solid brick building houses countless fiber optic cables reaching multiple carriers, ensuring that an outage of one provider will not shut down ASD's operations. The onsite backup power generating station is strong enough to supply all energy needs until local electricity is restored.
ASD's location was chosen specifically because it is not located near any flood plains or low lying trees. However, not all of the company's employees are located in the safest areas so ASD maintains an open door policy and will provide accommodations so their staff and their families can stay overnight at ASD if necessary. During Hurricane Irene, over 40 ASD employees camped out and took calls in the morning to ensure their clients' calls were protected through the storm. For some employees, ASD's headquarters became a required shelter due to mandatory evacuations for flood prone areas. Children and relatives of staff members were welcome to take refuge from the storm.
ASD's large, 15,000 square foot building provided enough space and comfort for staff members of all ages. The company's facility is also equipped with a full alarm monitoring system to regulate any abnormalities that might affect the safety of their employees. Despite the size and scope of Hurricane Irene, ASD performed at high capacity, answering more than 98 percent of calls by the fourth ring, and over 85 percent of those were answered by the first ring. During this timeframe, ASD compassionately handled more than 1500 first calls.
ASD encourages funeral directors to take their Virtual Tour on the company's Google+ Local page to view the facility in high-definition and see how the company has invested in their infrastructure.
ASD hopes that everyone remains safe throughout the storm and welcomes their clients to contact them 24/7 if there is anything else that came be done to help during this time.
About ASD
ASD is the leader in answering services and call support for funeral professionals. Family owned and operated, ASD blends state-of-the-art technology with an experienced team of knowledgable call specialists that possess a high level of understanding of the funeral process. The company's intensive training programs ensures that the potential value of every call is recognized and communicated to directors in the most cost efficient way. ASD's innovative technology, custom-built systems and call support expertise have made it a national leader in the death care profession. Headquartered in Media, Pennsylvania, ASD offers comprehensive answering services for funeral homes and funeral related businesses of all sizes.

My baby who has 2 tiny teeth at 5 months loves this teether so much. It is beautifully designed. This product is designed by someone who loves babies.

What can you ask from a teether? Interesting surface, not-to-heavy to lift, quality plastic?! This teether has it all, and my daughter chews on it, so I think the verdict is set.
Like this teether

This is a good teether, baby can hold it easily with thumb and fingers. I find it a little thick for a small baby mouth, but he uses it anyway.
