With Eye Disease On The Rise, National Council Of Negro Women And Transitions Optical Amplify Efforts To Educate At-Risk African Americans
LOS ANGELES, July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With recent research confirming an alarming increase in eye disease among older Americans, the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and Transitions Optical, Inc. have amplified their efforts to educate at-risk African Americans about the importance of regular eye care. With support from the Transitions Cultural Connections™ program, NCNW sections across the country have been providing eye health education as part of their ongoing, strategic community outreach efforts. Complementing these efforts, the NCNW's West Coast Black Family Reunion Celebration – to be held on Saturday, July 13 along West 54 th Street in Los Angeles – will serve as a premier forum for reaching thousands of African Americans about their eye health risks and needs.
During the West Coast Black Family Reunion Celebration, Transitions Optical will provide free vision screenings for attendees. Attendees will also receive copies of a What to Expect: African-American Eyes brochure and additional information about the importance of taking preventive steps, such as scheduling annual eye exams and wearing eyewear that blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Research from Transitions Optical has shown that just four out of 10 African Americans schedule annual eye exams. Additionally, African Americans are the most likely to do nothing to protect their eyes from the sun, which has been linked to diseases such as cataract and diabetic retinopathy – both of which are more prevalent among African Americans.
In June 2012, Prevent Blindness America released a report showing a significant increase in eye diseases that are more common among African Americans, including a 19 percent increase in cataract; a 22 percent increase in glaucoma; and an alarming 89 percent spike in diabetic eye disease.
"The NCNW is committed to making eye health education a priority among at-risk African American communities – and through our national outreach efforts, we are working to ensure that more African Americans are scheduling annual eye exams and are making UV eye protection a part of their everyday routine," said Lady Cage-Barile, NCNW Black Family Reunion Celebration regional chair. "Our partnership with Transitions Optical has allowed us to take this education to a local level – so we can actually go out into our communities and make a difference."The West Coast Black Family Reunion Celebration will be held from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 13 along West 54 th Street in Los Angeles. Activities will begin west of Crenshaw Boulevard, starting from Hillcrest Boulevard to Keniston Avenue. SOURCE National Council of Negro Women

Since its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers at cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group classes, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, finger-paint pictures of ninjas in martial arts, and amp up heart rates along to the pulsating soundtracks of Les Mills routines.
Many Gold's Gym locations stockpile futuristic amenities, such as cardio machines with individual iPod docks and televisions that help keep patrons motivated.
Within 93,000 square feet, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores manages to fit all of the state's and most of the world's main aquatic environments into five galleries. A 30-foot waterfall throws a cool mist over guests as they begin a journey that brings them to the Piedmont gallery, where the aquarium's three spunky river otters?Neuse, Pungo, and Eno?frolic and play poker underwater. Further exhibits promise other memorable encounters, such as the Dinosaur Adventure where visitors come face-to-face with the lifelike extinct creatures, and the Tidal Touch Pool where handlers let visitors touch skates, rays, and select invertebrates. At the epicenter lies the ocean gallery, anchored by a 306,000-gallon tank with a 65-foot viewing window. Sand tiger sharks and moray eels swim about the Living Shipwreck exhibit, a replica of a German U-boat that sank off the United States' East Coast in 1942. Behind the glass of another tank, a young loggerhead sea turtle named Nimbus flashes its gold-toothed smile and rare white coloration.
Divers host live shows twice a day in the ocean tank, answering visitors' questions via special equipment. They've also been known to assist with proposals, unveiling engagement rings as an unsuspecting fianc? peers through the glass. Beyond overseeing the standing exhibits, the staff also ventures outside for numerous educational programs and activities. Participants can catch crabs, fish in the surf, explore the marsh, take a paddleboarding class, or even explore the water on canoeing and kayaking outings.
The IKO-certified instructors at Kite Club Hatteras help their pupils grab hold of kites and soar above the sky-blue waters of The Outer Banks. Using the ocean as their classroom and the back of a sea turtle as their chalkboard, the boarding profs teach students how to launch, land, and master complex techniques during three levels of instruction. Aside from helping pupils gain their IKO certification, they also lead multiday events, during which kiteboarders can relax in beach houses and take lessons on becoming independent riders.
Oceanic experts at North Carolina Maritime Museum share exhibits, artifacts, and artwork documenting the history and ecology of the sea near Beaufort. Your Groupon helps support the Museum Friends Group, a 501(c)3 nonprofit working to recover and display the infamous pirate Blackbeard's flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge. The group aims to bring the remaining half of the shipwreck into the sunlight, preserve all the historical booty they discover, and salute the accomplishment with proud hook hands. A membership treats fans of the briny to a one-year subscription to the museum's e-newsletter, as well as invitations to members-only previews, including the Blackbeard unveiling in June, a 10% discount at the museum store, advance notice of special events, and more. Other salty exhibits include The Coastal History and Heritage display, boasting artifacts on pirates, shipwrecks, boatbuilding, the seafood industry, marine science, and the tidal properties of large grilled-cheese sandwiches.
The waterscape of Pamlico Sound is so full of game fish that one might expect they'd just hop right into the boat. It's nearly true, but anglers still need a little guidance when casting lines into the shimmering waters of North Carolina's sounds and sea. Fingeance Fishing Charters provides that direction with its souped-up, 27 foot, custom-built sportfishing boat. It's outfitted with fish-catching electronics and a cobia tower that provides an excellent visual and technological advantage in locating water-breathing friends. Fully licensed Captain Joey helms the vessel, and the ship's tech allows for species-specific targeting. That means whether fishing for flounder, striper speckled trout, and redfish they'll find them. Besides fishing ventures, the team also organizes clamming, crabbing, sightseeing, sand-dollar hunting, and sundown tours ideal for the whole family.
True to its roots as a premiere Brazilian Jiu Jitsu center, Alliance Fitness Center offers abundant mat space for students to practice grappling and ground-fighting techniques. But the studio goes beyond the mat, offering an array of fitness machines and bags so trainees can achieve optimal fitness. Utilizing all of Alliance's amenities, instructors lead muay thai, boxing, judo, group strength and conditioning, and Brazilian jujitsu classes—the latter two also offer a women's-only counterpart class for a more supportive environment. Jiu jitsu also offers children an opportunity to learn self defense and anti-bullying skills.

You might want to get that looked at. I've heard that once you start hiccuping "Oinks," then a tail should follow.

Let's celebrate with these completely forgettable Star Wars (mis)quotes:
"You don't know the power of the MOC side."
"You lied to me. You said there'd be cake. You ate my cake."
"No, I am your cake."

Oh so it's that for looks? Thanks. I think the topic can be closed now.
I hate Inika

I hate '08 sets
I hate red and blue pegs
I hate the whole world
It's such an awful place
And so on and so forth...
This one.
Omigosh, one more year and you'll be twenty!
And if that's not enough, in another year you'll be twenty one!
And furthermore, next comes, of all things -- twenty two!
But first you've got to be nineteen, and make sure it's the best nineteenth year of your life!
And of course...
*Birthday glomp.*
What strikes ME is the sheer flashy impracticality of a sword shaped like water or fire.
Practicality is irrelevant if your sword looks cool.

Students are given a trench log that includes several fault strands and dated stratigraphic horizons. They estimate the times of faulting based on bracketing ages of faulted and unfaulted strata. They compile a table with the faulting events from the trench log and additional events recognized in nearby trenches, then calculate maximum, minimum and average earthquake recurrence intervals for the San Andreas Fault in this area. They conclude by making their own prediction for the timing of the next earthquake.

What an amazing guy Kevin is, he worked hard to make sure things happened for us. He really knows his field and is incredibly professional and personable. We were so lucky to have met him and benefit from his negotiation skills, don't think we could have done it without him. Highly recommended!!

Ratings & Reviews
There aren't enough good things I can say about Kevin. I am often skeptical when I read a 5 star review. They tend to be vague and feel disingenuous, but in this scenario Kevin deserves every bit and more.
My wife and I were casually browsing the SF market for our first home when we got lucky and found Kevin. We had met with 3-4 different brokers and didn't feel a connection with any of them. We explained to him that we were taking our time and he made us very comfortable with his approach to the process and was not pressuring at all. He had the perfect balance letting us know he was there to help without being pushy. He would occasionally send us listings to look at while still letting us remain in the drivers seat in finding a place.
Kevin was extremely responsive through the process and would text us or call us back to answer questions or talk about our thoughts on a certain property. I never felt like there was any time of day where he was unreachable and he made sure that we felt like we were his only clients. When we found the place we wanted to purchase, he went by to check it out on his own the day after we went and helped us think through the layout and pros/cons. He explained all the paperwork, the best approach to win the property, and helped us negotiate the best deal possible. He has a masterful understanding of the ins and outs of this business and I felt very comfortable and confident with him in control of our home buying process.
On a completely separate and more personal note. Both my wife and Kevin have Armenian roots and my wife is not from California. During our first time meeting, my wife complained how she missed her favorite Armenian food, Lahmajoon (Armenian pizza). Kevin laughed and told us that his mother makes it and that he would have her make us some. We didn't think much of it, but smiled and carried on our conversation. A month or two later we closed on our beautiful home and when we went to meet Kevin at the house to get the keys, he opened the fridge and inside was enough Lahmajoon to feed an army! Kevin goes the extra mile and his mothers Lahmajoon is delicious! I couldn't believe that he remembered and it really put a smile on my wife's face. It's a testament to his integrity and the strength of his word.
Kevin is an honest, caring, and skillful business man and I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase property in the Bay Area.
My wife and I are first time home buyers and we went through our fair share of real estate agents along with declined offers. The agents we worked with just didn't feel right until we met Kevin. He made the extraordinarily difficult San Francisco housing market as comfortable as possible with great knowledge of how to actually purchase a house in this city. We ALWAYS received quick replies to our compulsive questions/requests, and received assistance you would get from a trusted friend.
When we found a house we loved, he was personally invested in our happiness and desire to start our family in this home. After our first early offer was declined, I think he was more disappointed for us than we were. The good news is that it was later accepted. I genuinely believe it was accepted because of the personal relationship he built with the selling agent.
During the closing process he supported us in every way. This included meeting me at our new home to move an oven into our kitchen so that we would pass appraisal. I doubt most agents would do that for their client. In addition, we were nervous wrecks during the closing process and we were not always happy with the responsiveness of our loan agent or title company. During these times he called them to get us answers ASAP. In addition, he was available to us at all times of the day or night, including a few midnight text sessions.
Overall I couldn't recommend an agent more than Kevin Markarian. He was very professional during the process and treated us like family during the offer and closing experience. We felt that he was most interested in our needs as home buyers than anything else. If you are looking for an agent, it would be a mistake not give Kevin a call.
After interviewing a few real estate agents in San Francisco, we found Kevin and were impressed by his incredible reviews, and later on, we realized the reason behind his exceptional reviews. Kevin's service exceeded our expectations. He knew the market to the best, thoroughly assessed our situation and needs, had remarkable negotiation skills, returned our calls within a few minutes, and on top of all was truly patient and listened to our needs. He explained to us all we needed to know, but never ever tried to push us or make decisions for us. Kevin's expertise let us find our dream house very quickly and we got into a contract within a month. Given the highly competitive market conditions in San Francisco and in Miraloma Park, My husband and I were almost certain that we would get out-bided on our house, but it was Kevin who encouraged us to put an offer, and used his negotiation expertise to help us move to our current house. Kevin made the process of home buying a lot easier for us and went through all the steps with us very professionally. We got the keys on Valentine's day and he surprised my husband and I with a bottle of Champagne and a box of chocolates!
Long story short, Kevin is a great agent with superb skills and expertise. We STRONGLY recommend him and undoubtedly, we would work with him in our next transactions.
Working with Kevin was amazing- very knowledgable, thorough, ultra responsive (and I'm a type A personality that can be quite needy and ask LOTS of questions) and really worked hard to get me the best deal and ensure all my needs met. He goes above and beyond and would recommend him to all my friends.
I really enjoyed working with Kevin. Including our last transaction, this was the second time we have done business with Kevin. I feel that he is honest, upfront and strategic. He helped us bid on and win several offers in a very competitive market. He even suggested our current neighborhood which was not even on our radar because it was so tiny we didn't know about it. I was impressed with how well he was able to hone in on our needs and deliver. His knowledge of the market conditions are spot on and if he suggests an offer price, it is very likely that the house will sell for around his estimate.
Kevin is my man. He has what it needed to get the job done. I talked to many different realtors, but they did not meet my standards (I am picky). I got Kevin referred by a coworker, and when I met him, I knew that he was my guy.
We had 10 competitors for the condo, but managed to close my dream home in less than three weeks. Perfect!
We worked with Kevin for about three months until we closed on a single-family home in Potrero Hill. We were pretty nervous about buying our first home in one of hottest markets in the country, but having Kevin at our side to give us advice and execute our negotiations helped relieve the stress.
Kevin contacted us after we requested more information on a listing through an online real estate app. We first met him in person on a Sunday afternoon to look at a few properties so he could get an idea of what we were looking for as far as location, property type, and price range. After that, Kevin started reguarly sending us MLS links, and we went to a few more open houses together.
Kevin is was very tuned in to the latest trends in the market, and how the market varies from one neighborhood to the next. Kevin explained that the trend he was seeing was for agents to list properties at a low asking price to generate multiple offers, and that cash offers with few or no contingencies were on the rise. We made our firstoffer on a house in Bernal Heights, and sure enough, there were multiple bids and the property ultimately sold for about 20% over asking.
After making a losing offer on a second location, we became a little discouraged and slowed down our search. Kevin stayed in touch and continued to send us listings, but was never pushy. When it came time to bid on the location that is now our home, Kevin responded promptly to our call on a Sunday, and he had our offer submitted the next day. From there, things moved very fast, and Kevin was always quick to respond and on top of things. When we had problems contacting our original financier (the loan officer was on vacation and on one else at the office would get back to us) Kevin set us up with a couple of different loan officers whom he knew would be able to help on short notice.
We will always remember Kevin because on the day we closed, he went above and beyond the call of duty to help us make it a very special day. It happened to be the 10th anniversary of the day my partner and I first met, and was the day I proposed marriage in a surprise that Kevin helped arrange!
The bottom line is that Kevin knows the SF market, and he knows how to make an offer competitive. He works hard, gives good advice, and his easy-going and calm manner will help you stay a bit more relaxed in what can be a very stressful time.
Kevin helped us not only navigate the very competitive San Francisco market, but also helped us stay competitive while using FHA financing (which scares some sellers). We didn't expect to find a place as quickly as we did, but Kevin's expertise helped us to get into contract just a few months into the process. While in contract, Kevin helped us to negotiate concessions based on issues that arose during the escrow process. He also knows great people in the inspection and lending arenas and helped us to build a good team that made the process as smooth as possible.
Kevin worked around the clock to make sure I found the home best for me and within my budget, then led a very complicated negotiation for a short sale purchase that closed very quickly. I will use Kevin again for my next purchase and regularly recommend him to friends and colleagues as the agent to work with.

The Municipal Legislative Commission seeks ways to get cities information from the fiscal disparities program faster.
(Published Feb 6, 2014)
A proposal by the Municipal Legislative Commission (MLC) (a group of metropolitan cities) would accelerate the availability of information related to the metropolitan tax base sharing program, also known as fiscal disparities.
There is a separate but similar tax base sharing program in effect in northeast Minnesota known as the Iron Range Fiscal Disparities Program.
Information on the annual contributions and distributions from the fiscal disparities program is needed to allow cities to understand how much of their property tax levy will be covered by the metropolitan pool and how much will be borne by local taxpayers, and also to allow the calculation of the property tax impacts for commercial and industrial property owners.
In addition to compiling the fiscal disparities information and making it available as early as possible to affected cities, the proposal includes a two-week delay in the date by which a city is required to notify the county. Under current law, cities and counties must certify their proposed levy by Sept. 15. Under the proposal, cities and counties would have until Sept. 30, which is the date by which school districts must certify their preliminary levy.
If you have thoughts on how this change in the proposed levy certification date would impact your city—either positively or negatively, please forward comments to Gary Carlson.

Hopping off his plane after a long flight, Chris Pine arrived at Heathrow Airport in London, England early this morning (April 7).
Looking rather exhausted, the "Star Trek" hunk wore a denim shirt with jeans and a black jacket as he slowly made his way through the busy terminal.
On March 1st he was arrested for drunk driving and this morning (March 17) Chris Pine was convicted of DUI at the Ashburton District Court.
The "Star Trek" hunk was fined $340 and ordered not to drive for six months after he pled guilty to operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .11 (the legal limit is .08).
Everyone knows that New Zealanders know how to party, and it sounds like Chris Pine had a little too much fun at the wrap party for his new flick "Z For Zachariah."
On March 1st, New Zealand Police charged the "Star Trek" stud with driving under the influence given that his blood alcohol level was in excess of the .08 legal limit.
He's the object of affection for women all over the globe, and Chris Pine just signed on as the new face of Armani Code.
The new fragrance ad campaign will go live this spring and honcho Giorgio Armani is thrilled that the "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" stud is on his team.
Their flick premiered with strong numbers over the weekend, and the cast of "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" brought the project over the pond on Monday (January 20).
The film's star Chris Pine posed with his lovely counterpart Keira Knightley and director Kenneth Branagh at the Vue Leicester Square in London, England.
Given his piercing eyes and chiseled jawline, Chris Pine doesn't exactly struggle to get noticed by the ladies these days.
But as the world found out on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Thursday (January 16), that wasn't always the case for the "Star Trek" stud.
Hitting the red carpet for one of the biggest movie events of the New Year, celebrities attended the premiere of action-drama, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" in Hollywood today (January 15).
The movie's stars, Chris Pine and Keira Knightley made their appearance for the cameras, both looking stunning and sexy, as usual.
Fitting in some mid-week travel, Chris Pine arrived at LAX International Airport on Tuesday (January 7).
The "Star Trek" hunk rocked a button up denim top, white shirt and dark jeans as he stopped to sign a few autographs outside the busy terminal before driving away with a mystery lady friend.

Bend forward from your waist about 45 degrees. Bend your arms so that your upper arms rest against your sides and your knuckles point toward the floor.
Exhale as you slowly raise both hands behind you, extending your elbows. Inhale as you return your hands to the starting position. Repeat for two sets of 15.

CBS taps loyal Bush flak Dan Bartlett as its latest talking head.
In its hyped-up story about when Obama will announce his running mate selection. Politico claims the candidate "is expected to choose his running mate this week." Then it reports, "the announcement could come "as late as the weekend."" And just to be safe, Politico notes the Olympics, which conclude Sunday, "could push the campaign to delay the move until the beginning of the Democratic National Convention the next day."
To recap: According to Politico's sharp reporting, Obama might announce his VP pick "this week." He might announce it "as late as the weekend." Or maybe it will be Monday.
We're so glad that's cleared up.
Think Progress looks at the latest Pew findings.
Glenn Greenwald remains on the case.
Debuts tonight at 9 p.m. EST.
This Modern World details how the NYT columnist has to rewrite his latest column online in order to delete an embarrassing factual error from the print edition.

For simply doing its job. In this case, Andrea Mitchell relaying thoughts from the Obama camp about whether or not McCain heard beforehand the questions he was going to be asked by Rev. Rick Warren at the candidates forum Saturday night.
And P.S., McCain was not in the 'cone of silence' while Obama was being interviewed at the Saddleback Church, as Warren had indicated McCain was.
Young Dems lead the way.

Letter (paper size)
Letter or US Letter is a paper size for office use. It is the most common type in North America, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, the Philippines, Costa Rica and Chile.[1][2] It measures 8.5 by 11 inches (216 mm x 279 mm). US Letter size is a recognized standard adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) whereas the A4 is the International Standard (ISO) used in most countries.
Ronald Reagan made this the paper size for U.S. federal forms in the early 1980s; previously, the smaller "official" Government letter size, 8 in × 10.5 in (203 mm × 267 mm), was used.[3]
In the U.S., paper density is usually measured in "pounds per ream" (of 500 sheets). Typical letter paper has a basis weight of 20 or 24 pounds (9 or 11 kg) – the weight of 500 sheets (a ream) of 17-by-22-inch (432 by 559 mm) paper at 70° F (21.11°C) and at 50% humidity.[4] One ream of 20-pound letter-sized paper weighs 5 pounds, and a single letter-sized sheet of 20-pound paper weighs 0.16 ounces (4.5 g), which is equivalent to 72 g/m2 (72gsm). The most common density of A4 paper is 80gsm.
The origin of the dimensions of the standard 8.5"x11" letter size paper in the US is lost in history. The American Forest and Paper Association says that the standard US dimensions have their origin in the days of manual paper making, the 11" length of the standard paper being about a quarter of "the average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms."[3] That, however, does not explain the width.
The related paper size known as half letter, statement, or organizer L is exactly one half of the US letter size (8.5 × 5.5 in).

Health Promotion Starting 07/01 - page 3
I am starting this thread for those of us taking health promotion in July.... Read More
- 0Jul 3, '13 by doomsdayWanted to ask for you in the Health Promotion class at this time when you go under your quiz folder does it have a message that reads folder empty? I know the quiz will not load yet but there is nothing in this file currently it's unlike my other classes so I wanted to find out if anyone else is seeing this. I asked my Academic Coach and she just tells me to read the syllabus so I have no direction in if this is a error or not... Any help appreciated please!!! I'm at a loss on what to do. Also can anyone tell me what the carbon footprint assignment is?
- 0Jul 3, '13 by maryannmartin75The quiz will probably show up in the folder after the start time on Friday, I have experienced this before. I looked ahead and the carbon foot print is an assignment we do in week 4.
- 0Jul 5, '13 by maryannmartin75I was told by others that you did
- 0Jul 6, '13 by maryannmartin75I don't know who every one has cor their AC but mine is stating that one APA error is going to be a 30 point deduction on the discussion post. Also you do need to watch the freedom writers before taking the quiz for sure.
- 0Jul 6, '13 by ScarletFire, BSNQuote from maryannmartin75Hi,I don't know who every one has cor their AC but mine is stating that one APA error is going to be a 30 point deduction on the discussion post. Also you do need to watch the freedom writers before taking the quiz for sure.
When I took the class in April to May 2013, we had no 30 point deduction for APA errors. This sounds quite excessive to me and not fair. I hope there was some mistake about this.
Regarding the quiz, we had 2 questions regarding the Freedom Writers movie, so yes, you should watch it before taking the quiz so you can answer the questions.
- 0Jul 7, '13 by MBrickleI tried my hardest to write in APA format for the discussion which I think is a bit ridiculous but my computer screwed up the formatting side the DB aren't really designed for it. 30 points would be very excessive.
I'm SO annoyed about having to watch this movie. I don't have time to grocery shop since my work weeks have been 60+ hours/week (filling in) and I'm juggling 3 classes which I wouldn't recommend. I'm barely keeping my head above water, let alone having the time to sit down for a movie! Plus, if I had time for TV, I would totally be watching True Blood...not a movie on journaling!
Any opinions on the book options?
- 0Jul 7, '13 by shantel1621It'a a very interesting movie... my test had about 6 questions from the movies so I was glad it took the time to watch it.
Good luck.
- 0Jul 8, '13 by maryannmartin75Week one is over. I am reading the move yourself book and it is okay. I like the format of engaging in regular activity to increase the amount of physical exercise you get. It is a bit slow though so hopefully it will pick up so I can get through it quickly!

A screened-in patio can become a warm and cozy oasis with a few embellishments. Here are a few tweaks and tricks that you can use to make the most of your outdoor room:
Create an intimate feeling with outdoor curtains. Hang them by the pair in the outer corners of your patio. They'll soften the edges the space and give it a more room-like feel.
Group chairs together to create conversation areas. Two or three chairs placed around a small coffee table makes for a comfortable space for guests to gather. Sprinkle a few around the space to give a resort-like feel.
Use plants to fill in empty space. Coziness is a sense of closeness. Open spaces detract from that, but potted plants can fill in those gaps without making things feel crowded. They also soften the space and add needed color. You can use plants in planters on the floor, and you can also use seasonal hanging baskets to add color.
Don't forget the throw pillows. Piling on soft pillows creates a cozy atmosphere and can add some color and texture to your space.
Consider an outdoor area rug. Not only will it help define seating areas, it will soften the outdoor space and help to foster a cozier, more intimate-feeling space.
Use soft lighting. Outdoor lamps, string lighting and landscape lighting create a warmer, softer glow than typical harsh outdoor lights. The more soothing light will make the space feel more like the indoors.

Eight Tips for Studying Smarter and Learning Better!
Americans expect a lot out of their governments. They expect it to keep the economy running smoothly, to protect the nation from foreign threats, to help recover from natural disasters, to ensure that people are treated fairly, and to make certain that we have quality healthcare and education, a clean environment, and good roads, among other things. We also expect government officials to listen to us and care about our complaints. Yet we disagree about what problems government should help solve, and how government should help solve them.
This course aims to provide a fair-minded and thoughtful description of the way American government works, the reasons that it works the way it does, and the challenge of governing America in the twenty-first century. We will closely track the 2014 elections for Congress and state government. We will examine the United States Constitution; rights and liberties; participation in politics; political parties, elections, interest groups and the media; Congress, the presidency, and the courts; and the ways that American government has addressed problems like slow economy, immigration, social welfare and globalization.
Our Contract. By enrolling in this course, you and I have made a contract with each other. l'll work hard to be prepared, enthusiastic, fair and respectful of every student and their opinions. I'll be accessible and try my best to return graded materials after no more than a week. By enrolling in the class, you've agreed to (1) attend every class, (2) to participate by asking questions and joining in class discussions, and (3) reading the assigned material and completing written assignments on time. You are paying for and receiving a University of Missouri class. Of all the consumer purchases you make, don't let your University of Missouri education be the one expensive purchase where you expect less for your money.
These are the books that are required for this class. They are available at the UM-St. Louis bookstore.

Exam Format and Sample questions
The exam consists of three sections: 50 modified true/false statements, 15 multiple choice questions, and 1 short answer question.
Section 1: This section consists of 50 true/false questions. Mark the answer to each question on your machine readable answer sheet. For each question, there are only two possible answers. If the answer is true, darken in the space under A on the answer sheet. If the answer is false, darken in the B on the answer sheet. The remaining letters (C,D,E) are irrelevant for this section of the test. Try to spend no more than 20 minutes on this section. Each correct answer is worth 1 point.
Before the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the United States was experiencing a number of serious problems. Which of the following are true?
1. The states were interfering with each others' trade, and some were taxing imports from other states.
2. Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no U.S. Supreme Court.
3. Under the Articles of Confederation, the U.S. had a king with the power of a dictator.
On the
machine-readable answer sheet, you would answer "A" (true) for
statement 1, "A" (true) for statement 2, and "B" (false) for
statement 3.
Section 2: This section consists of 15 multiple choice questions. For each answer, there is only one correct answer. Select the letter, A, B, C, or D, that best answers the question and mark that answer on your machine readable answer sheet. Try to spend no more than 10 minutes on this section. Each correct answer is worth 2 points.
According to Jillson, which of these was a participant in the U.S.
Constitutional Convention and an author of the Federalist?
a. John Stuart Mill.
b. Thomas Paine.
c. John Locke.
d. James Madison.
On the machine-readable answer sheet, you would fill in "d" as the answer
for number 51.
Section 3. This section consists of a short answer in
response to one of the following questions. The best answers will be clear,
concise, and they will use specific examples. Only one question will appear on
the exam. This section is worth a maximum of 20 points.
1. In class, we discussed the three questions about civil rights that the Constitution did not answer.
Describe each of these questions, and explain how each was answered in the decades after the
Constitution was ratified. Be sure to explain Jim Crow, Plessey v. Ferguson, and
Brown v. Board of Education in your answer
You would write the answer in the space provided on the exam.
The Policy Decision Memo Assignment
(Topic paragraph due October 6; Memo due November 19; late memos lose 1 point a day, for each day that ends with the letter "y")
- (for two samples of a similar assignment, click here and here. Note that this is an older paper written for an assignment that differed somewhat from the one required this semester. Be sure to follow the requirements listed below).
You work for a company that gives advice to political candidates of both parties. Your firm has a contract with the strictly nonpartisan Congressional Research Service to provide a number of five-page memos to help members of Congress from both parties make decisions about critical policy issues. Your firm wants you to choose one specific policy decision that is critical for the United States in the next several years. The legislators need to know (1) why the issue is so important, (2) how the issue has developed over time, (3) what the alternative choices are, (4) who supports and opposes each alternative, and (5) what are the benefits and costs of each alternative. NOTE: You must write memos that are completely fair and speak objectively about all sides of the issue.
First, choose a question about a national public policy decision. Turn in a 2-4 sentence paragraph about the issue, why it is critically important, and describe the chief alternatives. Include 4 specific references. Turn this paragraph in on October 6. We have to approve your topic. We will return your topic statement to you with comments. The topic paragraph is worth 5 points.
I urge you to consult the "CQ Researcher" on the UMSL library site under "Electronic Databases." Many students who have gotten excellent grades on memos like this have used the CQ Researcher to choose a topic and to do basic research on it. See also Public Agenda at http://www.publicagenda.org/ or The Almanac of Policy Issues at http://www.policyalmanac.org/ ]
Then, write a five-page policy decision memo. The memo should explain:
Some of the topics you might choose include, but are not limited to: [Other, Original topics not on this list are very strongly encouraged; consult with your TA]
Should the US
stop providing military equipment to state and local police departments?
- Should the US send combat troops back into Iraq?
- Should the U.S. government impose a tax on carbon emissions to reduce climate change?
- Should the U.S. force the largest banks to break up into smaller banks?
- Should the U.S. government allow undocumented immigrants now in the U.S. a way to become citizens?
- Should Congress eliminate the ceiling on the national debt?
- Should the U.S. government legalize gay marriage nationally?
- Should the U.S. government ban genetically modified food?
- Should the Electoral College be eliminated?
- Should citizens be allowed to decide how to invest their Social Security funds?
- Should the Affordable Care Act of 2010 ("Obamacare") be repealed?
- Should there be a national identity card?
- Should the Social Security retirement age be raised?
- Should a national law tightly regulate access to handguns?
- Should tax breaks for the oil industry be eliminated?
- Should the U.S. provide more subsidies for wind-powered energy?
- Should medical marijuana be legalized nationally?
- Should the national government set high penalties for racial profiling?
- Should the U.S. government limit tuition increases at colleges and universities?
- Should the No Child Left Behind Act be repealed?
- Should the U.S. use military force against Iran?
- Should the U.S. allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?
- Should offshore oil drilling near U.S. coasts be banned?
- Should the U.S. ban stem cell research?
- Should the U.S. dramatically increase funding to combat AIDs in Africa?
- Should there be a Constitutional amendment banning the death penalty?
ALL PAPERS SHOULD USE NO LESS THAN 6 REFERENCES. Do not use Wikipedia or other online encyclopedia.
Sources must be indicated in the body of the paper -- for example, (Jillson, 2013: 56) -- and then fully listed in a bibliography at the end.
Here is the appropriate citation style for these bibliographies:
In the text of the memo, if you want to cite a book or article, cite it in parentheses, with author, date, and page number (Jillson, 2013: 123). Then add a bibliography at the end.

Plagiarism means taking the written ideas of someone else and presenting them in your writing as if they were your ideas, without giving the author credit. Plagiarism (a word which comes from the Latin word for kidnapping) is deceitful and dishonest. Violations that have occurred frequently in the past include not using quotation marks for direct quotes and not giving citations when using someone else's ideas; using long strings of quotations, even when properly attributed, does not constitute a paper of your own.
Plagiarism in written work for this class is unacceptable. The University's Student Conduct Code classifies plagiarism as a form of academic dishonesty. Depending on the severity of the plagiarism, punishment can include receiving no credit for the assignment, failing the course and referral for university disciplinary action.

Reviewed Basmati Rice Pilaf with Peas
Oct 11, 2010 in Food Network Community Toolbox on Food Network
"I am commenting on the Basmati Rice Pilaf.
Rice was delicious and the mix of flavors was excellent, The black mustard seed gave it less of a flavor "pop" than I expected. Very creative way to make a rice dish. Next time I make it I will add a bit more water to the initial amount. "
