Gamepark Gp2x F-200: Portable Gaming Gets Updated
If you ask die-hard gaming enthusiasts what portable console they think is best, you might think they'd all say the Nintendo DS or Sony PSP. But there's a little portable that has a huge underground following because of its ability to run homebrew games and emulators. Known best for its ability to play classic video games, the Linux-based GamePark GP2X is getting a fresh coat of paint this fall.
While there's not a whole lot new going on here, the GP2X F-200 Game System updates the portable by adding a touch-sensitive screen and a totally overhauled game controller. The console will come pre-loaded with a handful of homebrew games, but can easily be loaded up with emulators like MAME and GNGeo among others. One (hopefully) major improvement over older models is an upgrade of the crummy joystick to a 8-way digital D-Pad. They also updated the user interface and you can now multi-task, so you can play music while using other applications like the e-book reader. But who are we kidding, GP2X has always been about playing games.
Expect the new GP2X model to be released this October. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it's likely to be around $200 or less. Play-Asia will be carrying the consoles once they're available.

Heart Healthy Eating
What you eat is important to your heart health. Choosing the right foods can help lower your blood cholesterol level. This is important because high cholesterol levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Limit unhealthy saturated and trans fats
Choose lower fat milk and alternatives:
- Skim or 1% milk and yogurt
- Cheese with 20% milk fat (M.F) or less—the lower the fat the better
Choose lower fat meat and alternatives and foods with healthy fats:
- Cooked, dried beans or lentils
- Tofu and other soy products
- Fish
- Chicken or turkey without the skin
- Lean cuts of meat, such as round, rump and tenderloin
- Nuts, seeds and natural nut butters
Limit foods high in saturated fat and/or trans fat such as:
- Butter, hard margarine, lard, shortening, palm and coconut oil, and coconut milk
- Store bought baked goods made with the above fats
- Creamy dressings and sauces made with butter, cream and other high fat dairy products
- Bacon, bologna, salami, sausages, and fatty cuts of meat
If choosing pre-packaged foods:
- Review the Nutrition Facts table and choose only pre-packaged foods that have less than 10% DV for saturated and trans fat
When eating in restaurants:
- Choose grilled, steamed or baked foods instead of deep fried foods
- Order sauces and dressings on the side
- Ask for lower fat substitutions such as a green salad in place of a Caesar salad
- Limit dining out to 2 to 3 times per week
Choose healthy mono- and poly- unsaturated fats more often
Choose healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats instead of saturated and trans fats.
Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide recommends you include 30-45 mL (2 to 3 tablespoons) of unsaturated fat each day. This includes oil used for cooking, salad dressings, margarine and mayonnaise.
Sources of monounsaturated fats include:
- Nuts
- Nut butters
- Canola, olive and peanut oils, and non-hydrogenated soft margarine made from these oils
Sources of polyunsaturated fats include:
- Nuts and seeds such as walnuts, flax, sunflower, and sesame
- Safflower, sunflower, corn, and soybean oils, and non-hydrogenated soft margarine made from these oils
- Fish
Eat more foods that have omega-3 fats
Omega-3 fats are a kind of polyunsaturated fat found in fish (DHA and EPA) and in plant foods (ALA). Both kinds of omega-3s are heart healthy, but the omega-3 in fish has the most benefit.
Choose fatty fish such as herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines or trout more often, as they contain higher amounts of omega-3 fats. Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide recommends:
- Eat at least 2 servings of fish a week instead of meat. One serving equals 75 grams (2 1/2 ounces).
Eat plant sources of omega-3 fats (ALA) such as flaxseeds, walnuts, soybeans, tofu and canola oil:
- Sprinkle ground flaxseed on hot cereal
- Snack on a handful of walnuts or dried soybeans (also known as soynuts)
- Use tofu instead of meat in a stir-fry
- Use canola oil for cooking
Eat more plant foods
Plant foods have fibre that can help lower cholesterol and naturally occurring compounds called phytochemicals that may protect your heart.
Eat a wide variety of vegetables and fruits every day.
- Add vegetables to salads, soups, stews, and stir-fries
- Buy fresh, frozen or pre-packaged fresh vegetable and fruit mixes
- Include dark green and orange vegetables every day
- Choose vegetables and fruit rather than juice because they have more fibre
Eat more whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds
- Choose 3 to 4 servings of whole grains each day. Good choices include whole grain wheat, oats and oatmeal, rye, barley, brown rice, wild rice, buckwheat, triticale, bulgar (also known as 'cracked wheat'), millet and quinoa.
- Limit refined cereals, white rice, and breads made with white flour.
- Regularly include dried or canned beans, peas and lentils.
- Eat nuts several times a week. A serving of nuts is 60 mL (1/4 cup).
Limit foods that are high in dietary cholesterol.
Only animal foods have cholesterol. Limit the following high cholesterol foods by:
- Eating organ meats, including liver pate, very sparingly.
- Limiting egg yolks to no more than 2 per week, including yolks in baking. There is no cholesterol in egg whites.
- Limiting shrimp and squid to occasional use. These are low fat choices if they are not battered and fried.
Maintain a healthy weight
If you are overweight or obese, losing weight can help lower your blood cholesterol level and reduce your overall risk of heart disease.
- Aim for a healthy Body Mass Index also known as BMI. Health Canada will help you to find your BMI: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/nutrition/weights-poids/guide-ld-adult/bmi_chart_java-graph_imc_java_e.html.
- Aim for a healthy waist measurement. Having a waist measurement larger than 102 cm (40 inches) for men and 88 cm (35 inches) for women may increase your risk of developing health problems such as heart disease. Healthy waist measurements may be smaller for certain ethnic groups. Discuss with your dietitian or doctor.
- To help plan meals appropriate for your age and gender, use the recommended number of servings and serving sizes given for each food group in Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide.
- Limit drinks that have added sugar such as pop, iced tea, and sweetened coffee and tea drinks.
- Be physically active every day. See the Canadian's Physical Activity Guidelines at www.csep.ca/english/view.asp?x=804. If you are not active now, check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.

So I have another thread earlier about my plants getting wrinkly. See my conophytum uviformi and my astrophytum asterias in the picture. So my conophytum has flowered back in Dec and Jan. What am I supposed to do right now with the remaining flower stems? I thought new plant was supposed to emerge from inside the old plant, but it's so shriveled up right now is it not doing well? All of my plants seemed to be all shriveled up except the two lithops that are splitting and it's nice and plump. Any suggestions? Thanks a million! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't grow many cacti but I think your Astrophytum is probably semi or fully dormant right now while your Cono should be in full growth. You can remove the Cono and give it a soak if you're brave or remove the Astro and the Lithops and then give the Cono a drenching. It looks like it can still plump up. If you can get it plump again, it will sheath over in the Summer and with a well-timed watering in early Winter, fresh growth will emerge from the papery sheath. The Titanopsis and the Cono are in full growth mode right now while your Lithops are growing but very slowly, needing less water. Those are some very nice plants, by the way. |
Thank you, I will take out the cono and wet it and repot them separately. |

We offer a variety of biometric screenings that can be added to the Health Risk Appraisal for further health risk identification. Since employees can be screened at the worksite, the interruption in valuable work time is minimal. In addition to the health risk appraisal, clinical screenings are the first step to assessing the overall health of your employees. We provide valuable feedback and educational information to participants. All results are kept confidential.
Prior to the health screening, Corporate Health Services will meet with the employer to discuss the screening process and develop the best program based on your needs. We are also available to assist clients in developing promotional flyers and sign-up sheets.
Most of our screenings require a finger-stick. Individuals are tested using the Cholestech LDX® System. The Cholestech gives you the same level of accuracy and precision that you can expect from a clinical lab and results are provided in 5 minutes. This is the most convenient method to provide during a workday. This system is available for fasting and non-fasting tests. LDL and triglyceride testing is recommended in a fasting state. Immediate results allow health professionals to detect isolated health risk and provide on-site counseling.
Worksite health screenings can take a variety of forms. Common screening components may include:

Product Description
Coat your vehicle with a ridiculous gloss!
Complete kit includes everything you need for proper application of EXO
GTechniq EXO provides up to two years of protection
Can be applied to multiple surfaces including glass
Gtechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating offers incredible surface functionality and protection on any almost any surface imaginable! This extreme protection is easy-to-apply, yet requires precise surface preparation for maximum results. Gtechniq EXO can be applied to paint, gel coat, glass, metal, stone, and even fabric! Instead of using sacrificial polymers or carnauba wax that washes away, EXO combines a hybrid of inorganic and organic components that provide superior, long-lasting protection. The Gtechniq EXO Complete Kit includes the tools and microfiber towels necessary to ensure your application is perfect!
Gtechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating becomes the new functional surface of the surface it is applied to. This means that EXO does battle with the elements while the substrate remains safely sealed. The hybrid of the quartz inorganic base and slick, high-gloss organic top coat produces a coating that forms a permanent covalent bond. In order for this chemical reaction to fully take place, Gtechiq EXO most be applied to perfectly clean paint which must be at least 68 degrees F. This requires the chemicals and tools in the EXO Complete Kit.
To ensure perfect application, the Gtechniq EXO Complete Kit includes:
GTechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating
Gtechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating becomes the new functional surface of the surface it is applied to by forming an ultra durable covalent bond. It is a combination of organic and inorganic compounds that allow this premium coating to last a minimum of two years, while giving the surface unmatched protection, unrivaled water beading, and an extreme shine. The inorganic quartz base forms a permanent covalent bond to the substrate, ensuring long lasting protection. The organic top coat provides an extremely reflective and high-gloss finish that features extreme water beading and dirt shedding. Gtechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating improves the scratch resistance of the surface. It is also perfect for marine applications, aviation, RV, and household use.
Gtechniq Panel Wipe Coating Prep
Gtechniq Panel Coating Prep has been engineered to perfectly clean your paint while leaving no residues behind. Gtechniq EXO Durable Hybrid Coating requires a perfectly clean surface to bond with. Use Gtechniq Panel Coating Prep before applying any paint coating for maximum bonding and results. You can also use Panel Wipe to remove polishing residues in between the various stages of paint polishing to inspect for accurate results.
MicroTemp MT-PRO Non-Contact Digital Infrared Thermometer
Gtechniq EXO must be applied to panels that are at least 68 degrees F. With the MicroTemp MT-PRO Non-Contact Digital Infared Thermometer you no longer have to guess. The MicroTemp MT-Pro Digital Infrared Thermometer delivers extremely accurate temperature readings by measuring the infrared radiation emitted from objects. The MicroTemp MT-Pro Digital Infrared Thermometer has an extremely large measuring range from -76 degrees F all the way up to balmy 932 degrees F, all within +/-1 degree of accuracy. The sleek, strong pistol shape features a trigger-measurement button for easy reading and only weighs 16 ounces!
3 Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towels, 16 x 16 inches
The thick, dense microfiber weave is luxurious and functional! The Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towel is perfect for buffing because it has a deep pile where dirt and dust can accumulate away from the paint, rather than being rubbed into the paint. Plus, the long, silky microfibers do an excellent job of buffing away fingerprints and smudges. This towel has a removable tag and microfiber edge. The Gold Plush Jr. is ideal for buffing off EXO.
Wash and dry the vehicle completely. Use detailing clay to remove any contamination on the surface. Gtechniq EXO is a semi-permanent coating so any paint imperfections, such as swirl marks, acid rain damage, or light scratches, should be removed prior to application. Machine polish the paint to achieve the desired finish. If you machine polish the paint, carefully rewash the paint to remove any light polishing dust, then dry completely.
Mist Gtechniq Panel Wipe directly on the paint and spread with the short pile side of a Supreme 530 Microfiber Towel. Fold the towel to the plush side and wipe the area clean. Repeat until the entire surface or surfaces are clean.
Gtechniq EXO must be applied to surfaces which have a temperature of at least 68 degrees F. Use the MT-PRO Non-Contact Digital Infrared Thermometer to inspect the paint surface. Hold the tool 2-4 feet from the panel, aim using the laser sight, and squeeze the trigger.
Apply Gtechniq EXO directly to a clean lint free towel. Evenly distribute the EXO using minimal pressure and lightly wiping over the surface. Immediately buff away any remaining residue a clean Gold Plush Junior. Apply and remove, working a section at a time, until the entire surface has been coated. For best results and the most complete bond, allow 48 hours for the coating to fully cure before wetting.
GTechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating 50 ml.
GTechniq Panel Wipe Coating Prep 500 ml.
MicroTemp MT-PRO Non-Contact Digital Infrared Thermometer
3 Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towel, 16 x 16 inches

In early January, after returning from a trip down the southeast coast and seeing many carnivorous plants, I got a couple of the deathcube Lowes plants as an Xmas stocking stuffer. The split rock didn't makes it, but the P.P. seems to be thriving. Based on this one and other forums, I didn't "winter" the plant as it was only a couple of inches high. I took it out of the cube and 50/50 mixed it into a small reptile cage, and place it on the window sill on bright days, and on a kitchen counter with gro-lights above it when not. New shoots seem to pop up overnight, and each shoot seems to grow larger and have more color. When and how should I effectively make the transition to the outdoors, and when should I bring it indoors for dormancy. Also, just how much drainage is needed if I transfer it to a larger pot environment? Thanx! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi there I would try the outdoors in spring when it's warmer and for dormancy be4 a big frost hits bring it in. put it a pot with draninage holes in the bottom and set it in a tray with 1 inch of distilled water no tap or anything that has additives in it. Should have a good thriving plant I recommend reading The Savage Garden everything you need to know. Good Luck... |

Hey! I grew up in Bucks County although I now live in NJ. I grow my Sarrs in large, plastic, undrained pots. I grow them in a mix of mostly peat moss, with some sand, perlite, and acidic soil (from under a large pine tree) mixed in. They stay outside on my patio from about April through about late October. The plants naturally begin to go dormant with the shorter days and cooler temps, and I leave them outide for a few frosts. Before it gets REALLY cold, I bring them in to my dark, attached garage. They get trimmed back sometime in Feb, and go out again sometime in early April. When you bring your plant outside in Spring (I would recommend early May since it is actively growing), start it out in bright shade with just a little bit of mrongin sun, and SLOWLY move it into a sunnier position over a period of about two weeks or so. |

Hola-Ikeep all the sarracenias outside all year! And trim the old leaves when they brgin grow new groth all over. Luis |

New shoots donÆt pop over night from a Sarracenia rhizome. About dormancy, lower temperatures & a drop of photoperiod triggers the dormancy. That is usually in the beginning of winter. Anyways. Keep up posted on your plants. |
Actually dormancy is triggered by the changes that occur in Fall and not Winter. |
After all danger of frost put it outside in FULL SUN. Keep it outside until night temps stay at around 40 degrees. I put mine in the fridge for the winter until mid February then I take them out and place in a south or west window until all danger of frost is gone (end of May). Mine are blooming right now on a south facing Kitchen table. |

text: The Lawrence Cemetery is located in a wooded area at the corner of 216th Street and 42nd Avenue, in Bayside New York, a site once prized by the Lawrence family as a favorite picnic ground called "Pine Grove." In this tiny family cemetery, a variety of headstones mark the final resting place of forty members for the Lawrence family, their descendents and heirs. Also buried here is a slave of Judge Effingham Lawrence, Lawrence Moccasin. This plot of ground is part of the original patent granted by the Dutch Governor Keift of New Amsterdam to John and William Lawrence and others in 1645. The first burial took place in 1832 and the last in 1939. The Lawrence name is surrounded with story and legend of local and national historic significance. John Lawrence, an original patentee, was twice Mayor of the City of New York in 1673 and 1691. A Lawrence married into the Washington family during the reign of Henry III of England. Hence, we find in American history, half-brother of George, from whom he inherited Mount Vernon. Famous people buried in the old graveyard include Cornelius Van Wyck Lawrence, Mayor of the City of New York (1834-37). His grave is marked by a shaft in the form of an obelisk. County Judge Effingham Lawrence's gravesite is designated by a rectangular stone, set on a stepped-up base. Other members of the Lawrence family interred here include Colonel Frederick Newbold Lawrence who served in the Civil War and was later president of the New York Stock Exchange from 1882- 83, and Mary Nicolls Lawrence, second wife of Mayor Andrew H. Mickle of the City of New York. Through the efforts of the Bayside Historical Society, the site was proposed for landmark status. On August 2, 1967, the Landmarks Preservation Commission declared the Lawrence Cemetery a New York City Landmark, "on the basis of a careful consideration of the history, the architecture and other features of this cemetery… [and its] value as part of the development, heritage and cultural characteristics of New York City." The Lawrence Cemetery is maintained by the Bayside Historical Society. Text excerpted from: "The Landmarks Preservation Commission Report." August 2, 1967, Number 6 LP-0630

Chocolate- Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Cake
Here you go… here's another one!- a CHOCOLATE- PEANUT BUTTER CUP CHEESECAKE CAKE
What can I say? I'm just totally crazy about cheesecake cakes. Maybe one of these days I'll write a cookbook totally devoted to this type of cake. Wouldn't that be a fun book to have? Goodness, I think I'd gain about 40 pounds writing a book like that! Anyway, the combination of chocolate and peanut butter is appealing to so many people these days, so I thought this would be a good combo for my latest cheesecake cake. There are two layers of chocolate cake, and sandwiched in between the cake layers is a layer of peanut butter cheesecake. The whole cake is covered with peanut butter frosting, topped with chocolate ganache, and then sprinkled with peanut butter cups. IT'S VERY RICH… so a small slice'll do ya just fine!
I've told you about my secret before, right? >> these cake strips?? They are the best baking invention known to mankind. Soak them in water, wrap them around each of your cake layers, and those cake layers will stay nice and flat for your cake. You don't want to have to deal with rounded mounds of cake! I use them for every cake I bake. They're cheap ($8.10 for two), and they last forever.
Here's how to assemble this cheesecake cake: one cake layer goes on your platter. I like to slip little pieces of wax paper under the edges so the frosting doesn't mess up my platter.
A small amount of peanut butter frosting goes on top of the first cake layer.
Then the cheesecake layer goes on next!
More frosting is spread onto the cheesecake layer (the frosting just kind of helps the layers stick together a little better).
The 2nd layer of cake tops the cheesecake.
Then the whole thing is frosted. Once you have everything covered, you can then slip out the wax paper and throw it away.
I added a chocolate ganache to the top. I'm not sure you really need it since the cake is completely and totally decadent and perfect all on its own. It's totally your call. My chocolate seized up on me a little bit, so it's not super shiny and beautiful (but it can be!) Otherwise, the peanut butter cups are sprinkled over the top. Don't skip out on those! The Reeses mini cups can be found in your market's candy aisle.
Ahhhh, the unveiling of the inside of the cake! You know why I love this cake so much? Because there are three kinds of desserts going on here > cake, cheesecake and candy! You won't need dessert for a week after eating a slice of this! I served this at a little dinner party I had at my house recently. A friend of mine that I hadn't seen since high school was in town and we had him and his partner over for dinner. They raved about this cake, which was really, really nice since my friend is a caterer in San Francisco!! I'm so glad it was a big hit. I'm thinking it would be cool for Father's Day too… if your man or your Dad or your dude is into the chocolate-peanut butter combo. It's a special treat indeed!
Chocolate- Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Cake
Yield: One large, decadent cake (small slices are perfect)
Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 min
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter (do not use natural)
1 cup granulated white sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
One 8-ounce bag Reeses minis (or chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (optional)CHOCOLATE CAKE:
2 cups granulated white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling waterPEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter (do not use natural)
1/4 cup milk (or a little more, as needed)
3 cups powdered sugarON TOP:
Use this recipe for chocolate ganache- totally optional (because it's so decadent!
One 8-ounce bag Reeses minis (or chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups)Directions:
1. Prepare the cheesecake layer: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. It's also nice if you can line it with a round of parchment paper, if you have it. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Mix in the sugar, then beat in the sour cream, eggs and vanilla. Keep mixing until everything is nice and smooth. If you'd like to have Reeses in the cheesecake, stir them in now. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until it is no longer super wiggly in the middle when you (gently) shake the pan. A tiny bit of wiggle is fine, but if there's a lot then it's not quite done yet. It should take between 1 hour and 1 hour and 15 minutes to bake the cheesecake until done (it's completely okay if the cheesecake happens to crack- it will not be noticeable in the cake). Remove from the oven and let cool on the counter. Transfer to the freezer and keep frozen until ready to assemble the cake.
2. Prepare the cake layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans. Whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large mixer bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of electric mixer for 2 minutes. Stir in water (batter will be thin). Pour batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake 30-35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
3. Prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and peanut butter. Beat until smooth and well-combined. Mix in 1/4 cup milk, then add in the sugar a little at a time until it is all mixed in. Sprinkle in a little more milk, if needed, and continue to beat until the frosting is a good spreading consistency. It should be creamy and delicious!
4. Assemble the cheesecake cake: Place one cake layer into the center of a cake plate or platter. Lightly frost the first layer of cake. Remove the cheesecake from the freezer, take off the sides of the pan, and slide a knife under the the cheesecake to release it from the pan and peel off the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to trim the cheesecake around the edges, as needed to match the size of your cake layers (see *Tips). Place the cheesecake layer on top of the first cake layer. Lightly frost the cheesecake layer. Place the second cake layer on top of the cheesecake.
5. Frost the cake: Scoop a good amount of frosting onto the top of the cake. Use a flat spatula to spread the frosting smoothly across the top and down the sides. If you're using the chocolate ganache, follow the instructions for that and spread it over the top. Sprinkle Reeses on top.
6. Refrigerate this cake until ready to serve (see tips below for serving and storage).
*Measure your cheesecake layer against the cake layers. If the cheesecake layer turns out to be slightly larger size round than your cake layers, move it to a cutting board and use a knife to gently shave off some of the exterior of the cheesecake.
*If you are serving this cake at a party, it's perfectly okay to leave the cake at room temperature for a couple of hours (the cheesecake thaws very quickly). Otherwise, keep it stored in the refrigerator. It also freezes perfectly. Freeze it as is, then wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer until it is needed. Leftover slices may also be wrapped and frozen.Source: RecipeGirl.com

Monday, April 23, 2012
Several Westminster mathematics faculty and students attended the annual meeting of the Allegheny Mountain Section of the Mathematical Association of America at West Virginia University on April 13-14, 2012.
Those in attendance included mathematics majors Gregory Clark, Richard Ligo, and Emily Walther, as well as mathematics faculty Dr. Jeffrey Boerner, Dr. David Offner, Dr. Pamela Richardson, and Dr. Barbara Faires (emerita and secretary of the Mathematical Association of America).
The program consisted of mathematical presentations by students and faculty from Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, invited talks by three nationally known speakers, a problem-solving competition for undergraduates, and social events.
Westminster students and faculty gave several talks at the conference: Dr. Offner presented his research on "Cops and Robber on the Hypercube;" Ligo spoke on his capstone research, "Diagonal Diagrams: An Interesting Representation for a Specific Class of Links;" and Clark talked about "Famous Sequences and Euclidean Algorithm Step Sizes," results stemming from an independent research project guided by Dr. Natacha Fontes-Merz.
As Section officers, Drs. Boerner and Richardson attended an officer's meeting and organized a student problem solving competition for about 60 students from schools throughout the region. Dr. Richardson also organized the student program for the meeting.
In addition, Drs. Boerner and Offner participated in the Section NExT workshop for new faculty in the Section. The workshop was on "Extreme Calculus" and was led by Paul Zorn of St. Olaf College.

Six-time Emmy Award winner and Arts and Sciences Board of Advisor Nancy Glass, J77, A14P, reflects on her time at Tufts, mentoring the next generation and the key to good story telling.
Matt Bai, A90, spoke at Tufts as part of the Tisch College Distinguished Speaker Series.
This fall's reunion at the Cummings School increased support for the school and its current students, thanks to a challenge offered by Advisor Janet "JJ" Kovak McClaran, V98.
The Office of the Boards of Advisors is the component of the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President that administers the Boards of Advisors Program, which includes boards for the Schools of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Medicine and Dental Medicine, the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, the Friedman School of Nutrition, the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy, the Tisch College of Citizenship & Public Service, and the Athletics Program as well as the International Board of Advisors.
Mission of the Boards of Advisors Program
In 1986, the Board of Trustees of Tufts University established a network of Boards of Advisors to serve as an important resource to the senior administration and to the trustees as they work to guide the further development of the university and its schools, and to expand awareness of Tufts' excellence and contributions nationally and internationally.
There are ten boards, one for each of the schools, one for the Department of Athletics and an International Board of Advisors. These boards comprise more than 230 people of national and international stature from business, health sciences, academia and other fields. The Boards of Advisors work with the deans, provost and president to address Tufts' needs and aspirations. While formal institutional governance and fiduciary responsibility for the university rests solely with its Board of Trustees, the Boards of Advisors bring their breadth of knowledge and experience to play a key role in the advancement of Tufts University's reputation and capabilities around the globe.
Advisors have three primary responsibilities:
1. To be articulate spokespersons for and ambassadors of the university among alumni, friends, associates, and colleagues;
2. To advise, counsel and support the administration to further the mission of the university;
3. To assist in the acquisition of resources essential to the further advancement of the university in its teaching, research, and service missions.
Trustee and Engineering Board of Advisor Ellen Kullman, E78, A12P, was named Drexel University's 2015 Engineering Leader of the Year. Kullman joins an elite group of engineering leaders, including Dean Linda Abriola, who received the award in 2013. Abriola and Kullman are the only women to receive this honor. Kullman has been the Chair of … » read
Dean Huw Thomas announced that Trustee Kathy O'Loughlin, D81, has assumed the role of chair of the School of Dental Medicine Board of Advisors. She is a past president of the Tufts Dental Association and was named a Charter Trustee in 2010.
After over a year of committee and working group meetings, community engagement events, and numerous revisions, the T10 Strategic Plan was approved by the Board of Trustees and is ready for review.

The Sopranos' capo, creator David Chase, originally maintained that his Mafia saga would last only three seasons. That eventually became five, and now he swears that the series will finally sleep with the fishes after a shortened, 10-episode sixth season (which will start shooting next year), scheduled to air in 2006. -- JW
What convinced you to do a sixth season? We have a lot of characters, and during the course of writing season 5, it became evident that a lot of story lines were going to get cut short or thrown out. Even to tell the story of Tony completely, we needed more time. Plus, if we waited a while, the children would almost be adults, and the impact of living in the Soprano house would be more evident, since you would see how they turned out.
Going back to last season, had you always known that Tony and Carmela would eventually split up? No, that occurred over time. I began to feel a sense of frustration, and questioned Carmela's character. She's complaining all the time about his infidelity, and is moralistic about how he earns his money: Either do something about it or keep quiet. Also, we had this great actress in Edie Falco, who was reduced to this harping, complaining woman. I felt there must be something more there, so we took action.
Did you get any angry reactions from fans regarding the split? The only time we've ever gotten a ''how could you do that?'' reaction was when we killed Pussy Bonpensiero. Which made me think that had to happen.
Is that why you had Tony whack Ralph? When I see what's coming in a movie or TV show, I'm bored. When a sheriff in a vampire movie says, ''Vampires? Come on,'' you know he's gone. So we try to do things people can't anticipate. That's true for the world we're depicting. This violence comes out suddenly and in the most surprising place. That's why it felt realistic to me that when the horse Pie-O-My died, Ralphie dies. Who'da thought that would be his last day on earth?
Let us plead one last time: Can we hold out any hope at all to see a seventh season? No. I know I've said that before, but I can't swear on a stack of Bibles because I don't have one here. Should people take this with a grain of salt? They shouldn't. This really is the end. All loose ends will not be tied up at the end of season 6, but hopefully there will be the dramatic feeling of the end of a cycle.

New Communications Package for Faculty & Staff
What's New...
9/14/09Tutorials added: 9/17/09
To improve efficiency and effectiveness of CCRI communications, all college computers will need to receive Microsoft Outlook 2007 and Internet Explorer 7 software upgrades in time for the start of the Fall 2009 semester. These upgrades offer the same features you are accustomed to as well as new enhancements designed to increase your productivity.
Faculty & Staff:
Now is the time to do YOUR part!
For CCRI to continue to fulfill its obligation of improving technology for faculty and staff, the Department of Information Technology requires your cooperation. The department is providing the following three-step series of guidelines and instructions to help you manage this transition to the new software products and, as always, the IT Service Desk is available to assist you with any questions or problems you may encounter during the process.
- Upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007 or Outlook 2007
- Switch to an Exchange e-mail account
- Use Office Communicator 2007
Step 1
Upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007 suite (includes Outlook)
Microsoft Outlook 2007
To continue receiving e-mail in Outlook and to take advantage of other new features, it is imperative that you upgrade toOutlook 2007
When: Starting on Wednesday, Aug. 26, and no later than Sept. 8, 2009.
Why it is necessary: To take advantage of the new Exchange e-mail account (step 2) and Office Communicator (step 3), you need Microsoft Office 2007 suite (or Outlook 2007) installed on your computer.
Benefits: The suite offers lots of new, exciting features in old program favorites like Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
The new software download, which can take a half hour to an hour and a half depending on your computer, as well as a series of online tutorials and FAQs, is available on our Office 2007 page.
If you already have the Microsoft Office 2007 suite installed on your computer, this step is not necessary.
Step 2
Switch to an Exchange e-mail account
When: Phase 1 will be completed by the IT department on Wednesday Aug. 26, 2009. Phase 2 must be completed by you on Aug. 26 and before Sept. 8. (See below for details.)
Why it is necessary: CCRI's current e-mail system does not offer features such as integrated calendars, meeting coordination, full-featured Web access and tighter security that are needed on our campuses.
Benefits:With the transition to Exchange, faculty and staff e-mail accounts will increase in storage space from 25 MB to 1 GB. You will be able to access your Outlook e-mail, folders, contacts and calendars via the Web at webmail.ccri.edu. This new access point will have a new interface and increased features that were not offered in Pipeline. One of the biggest benefits is that any e-mail sent or received via the new Web mail interface is automatically synchronized with your desktop copy of Outlook and vice versa. This means you can always access your complete inbox from any location, at any time.
What the IT dept. will do - Phase 1:
On Aug. 26, 2009, the IT Department will convert your e-mail account to an Exchange e-mail account.
You do not need to do anything for this to occur. However, after your account is converted to Exchange, you will need to complete Phase 2 below in order to receive and send e-mail with Outlook :
What you need to do - Phase 2:
Starting on Aug. 26, you should install Microsoft Office 2007 suite or Microsoft Outlook 2007, (see above).
Please be aware that your Exchange e-mail password will be your domain password -- the password you use to sign on to your office computer. This may or may not be the same as the password you use to login to your old e-mail account.The password you use to login to MyCCRI (see below) will remain the same.
If you are unable to login, please make sure you are using the appropriate password.
If you are still having problems, call the Service Desk at 401-825-1112.
Starting on Aug. 26, in order to receive and send e-mail with Outlook, you will need to set up your new Exchange profile in Outlook 2007 (until then, any new e-mail sent to you will be stored in your Web mail account and can be viewed by logging into webmail.ccri.edu). You will export your old e-mail, contacts, calendars, etc. from your old Outlook profile and then import them into your new Outlook Exchange profile.
For step-by-step tutorials on how to set-up your Exchange profile, see the MS Exchange Server page.
New tutorials added Sept. 14, 2009:
For Pipeline Users - added Sept. 17, 2009:
Most important to remember: as soon as IT converts your account to Exchange e-mail on Aug. 26, your old Outlook and Pipeline e-mail accounts will no longer receive new e-mail. You will only be able to send and receive e-mail through your office computer, if you've set-up your Exchange profile for Outlook, by logging into webmail.ccri.edu on the Web, or by logging into MyCCRI.
Accessing your e-mail from within MyCCRI: The e-mail icon displayed within MyCCRI will open a separate MyCCRI Webmail (webmail.ccri.edu) window rather than display your e-mail inside MyCCRI.
Step 3
Download, install and use Office Communicator 2007
When: You should download the software sometime after Aug. 26, 2009. You then should have the ability to sign in and use Office Communicator.
Why it is necessary: To date, CCRI has not offered an opportunity for electronic, real-time communication for faculty and staff.
Benefits: Office Communicator 2007 has many features that allow for quick, instant exchanges of information through instant messaging, audio, video and application sharing. These features offer the ability to host live meetings and group chats with employees at all four campuses simultaneously as well as one-on-one video conversations.
More information about the benefits of using Office Communicator 2007 and links to the software downloads are available on our Office Communications Server page.
Please note that the Department of Information Technology is using a "phased-in" approach to implementing Office Communicator. This means that, temporarily, some of the features that Office Communicator offers will be unavailable for use. Although we encourage you to read the documentation on the Office Communicator page and download the software after Aug. 26, we want you to be aware that not all features will be functional.
The MyCCRI portal offers the same features as Pipeline did, but with more information and options and a whole new look. Behind the scenes, the upgrade involved a switch from a Windows Operating System to a new hardware platform called Unix Operating System.

Asus Taps CCTTN for Traffic Data

Hey im quite new to Shenzhen.
Can anyone tell me some good stores to get Organic foods and Healthy food products?
Like Coconut Oil or Flax seeds for example
I can get all the stuff I need from Hong Kong but I don't want to keep going there every weekend.
I am living in Futian now.
Thanks & Best regards,
Absolutely agreed - particularly after Carrefour got prosecuted for relabelling ordinary products as organic products last year - even if it was sold here, you couldn't trust it to be real.
Gonna go on a limb here and say; Wrong place for all that business. Might try Ole or can get some bits and bobs at Wal-Mart or the foreigner stores in Shekou, but most likely will pay an arm and a leg for it.
oh great
so i really do have to go to hong kong every weekend then
Can I add a bit of value to this.
Although there is a recognisable word in Chinese, the people here are very misinformed, uneducated, nor have any knowledge, of what that word truly means.
I had a little organic trading business here for a while, did rather well, for a few cashies on the side, but seriously, even the most academic locals interested in these products, still don't have a real clue as to what this entails.
Good luck with that, Ole will have some products, otherwise 360 in HK.
If it's made locally and the packaging states it's Organic, I would be very circumspect on this.
If you ever decide to take a short trip over to Thailand, you will find these items. Just stock up and carry back with you as I'm certain Coconut Oil and Flax seeds/oil will keep for a long time.
ok well thanks for all the advice
looks like i will be stocking up each weekend in hong kong
i live very close to futian checkpoint so its not so bad
i guess i will only buy fruit and veg in china where i can peel or remove the skin
I used to think the same way mate, yes , a lot of people here soak their fruit and veg in water prior to eating it.
My thoughts on this, it may remove some of the nasties from the outer layers, but what about where the products are grown in conditions where there is nothing but dangerously high levels of nasties inside, certainly no amount of peeling or soaking in water is going to remove trace elements, as the bad shit will have most likely permeated through.
oh dear mate
well i hope the good in it outweighs the bad!!!!
anyone know any good ways to remove the pesticides off fruit and veg
i heard there is a special tablet you can buy that dissolves in water and then you soak the fruit in it
but i cant even find that in hong kong
im pretty sure there must be some natural remedies for this
anybody know any?

On the second weekend of June last year, the place was LoDo, where Shannon went to film "action" for a class assignment. He found plenty when fights broke out at Let Out ("A Piece of the Action," May 12). Although he recognized one of the troublemakers, Shannon's only role was documenting the increasingly violent scene unfolding all around him. "The only thing on the tape that's anything close to bad on my part is the one time a security guard hits me and I say 'Wow,'" he reports.
But Shannon didn't get to view his tape for weeks. A cop confiscated the video, which wound up airing on channels 2 and 9 a dozen days later, its images inspiring the "wilding" stories that made the summer so hot for much of lower downtown. Shannon had hit the big time -- not that the TV stations acknowledged that the leaked footage was a student journalist's work. Shannon himself didn't realize he'd gotten his break until kids started calling, accusing him of being a snitch.
It wasn't until late November that the cameraman finally got his credits: a charge of "engaging in a riot," a night in the pokey, and a May 17 trial date.
Shannon barely made it to the right place by the right time Tuesday morning. He had to drive all night from Jefferson City, Missouri, where he attends Lincoln University and was taking part in a youth-leadership program. He was fixing his tie as he ran into the Denver County courtroom, joining his family and his lawyer, David Suro.
And then the judge said that the charges were being dropped.
"As we got further into the case, there were serious questions about whether we could prove that he had actually aided, abetted or encouraged any of the rioting simply by filming it," says Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney's Office. "Without such a belief, we had a duty to dismiss."
Shannon's grandmother gave Suro a thank-you card. Shannon went home to take a nap.
And Suro got busy. Within the next two weeks, he plans to sue the City of Denver and a specific officer with the Denver Police Department on Shannon's behalf for federal civil-rights violations, malicious prosecution and whatever else he can come up with -- not in connection with the wilding case, but with another night in LoDo.
Shannon recorded the action that night, too -- through the 911 call he made as officers tried to quell a disturbance during Let Out on August 7. "I go to the clubs downtown probably twice a summer, maybe three times," says Shannon. "That's when you get to get caught up with old friends and things." And get caught up in another fracas, this one earning him a charge of disobeying a lawful order, a night in the pokey, and a trial date of November 23, 2004.
That morning, Suro played the 911 tape for the prosecutor. The case was dismissed before the trial even started.
The DPD incident report from that night read as follows: "Defendant ordered to leave and responded numerous times saying, 'Fuck the police!' and refused to leave. Defendant told crowd to 'fuck the police.' Area was dispersed with pepper spray. Defendant walked into spray, choked, and continued to refuse orders to leave. Defendant was arrested."
On the 911 tape, you can't hear Shannon saying "Fuck the police." But you can hear him talking -- in a voice so excited and high-pitched that at first the operator thought he was a girl -- about an officer spraying him in a car, then chasing him and refusing to give Shannon his name or badge number. You can also hear that officer, later identified as Tom McKibben, shouting, "You are a serious pain in my ass!"
How right he was.
The tape ends with the sound of a scuffle and a crash; witnesses say that McKibben kicked Shannon's legs out from under him, then left him hog-tied on the sidewalk, his face bleeding from a cut that has left a permanent scar.
"He was prosecuted on a lie," Suro says of his client. "No one ever questions that stuff."
The night after the first case was dropped, Shannon went on TV and complained about how the Denver cops beat up a black kid from Park Hill. The next day, he was charged in connection with the June 13 wilding; his filming had encouraged the rioters, prosecutors said. A half-dozen of those alleged rioters were charged with assault; three have taken a plea, and three more are scheduled for trials this summer. So far, Shannon hasn't been subpoenaed to testify -- but then again, he was a defendant himself until Tuesday morning.
"It's a half-assed victory, but we'll take it," Suro says.
"It's a good lesson in life, period," says Shannon, the student journalist. "Before this, I was under the impression that the truth comes out in court."

We're Linux! Video Competition Winners Announced
The Linux Foundation has announced the winners of its video competition. With more than one hundred entries, the competition with the sub-title, "We're Linux", called for videos that showed what Linux actually means to its community.
The Foundation was bombarded by over 100 videos from many different countries. A prominent jury, including amongst others, Community Manager Jono Bacon, (Ubuntu) and Joe Brockmeier (openSUSE) have now picked the winners.
The winning videos were shown last night at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in San Francisco. Prize for the three winners is an invitation to Tokyo to take part in the Linux Foundation Japan Symposium.
In first place came Israel's Amitay Tweeto, a 25 year old freelance graphic designer. The video uses simplistic methods to show his own idea of freedom.
The 28 year old Uruguayan Augustin Eguia, who lives in Brussels, Belgium, took second place. His entry concentrates on the variety and evolution of Linux.
Third place went to the French film student Sebastien Masse, who delivered probably the funniest video in the competition.

Rena Rowan Damone and Vic Damone continue their support of Penn's breast cancer programs by funding the relocation of the Rena Rowan Breast Center into the new Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine and including the Center in their estate plans. Mrs. Damone helped set the standard for disease-specific clinics for patient care within the Abramson Cancer Center and beyond. On October 29, 2010, we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the Rena Rowan Breast Center, and it remains a model for breast cancer care across the nation.
On the night of the Breast Center's 10 year anniversary, Rena Rowan Damone shared:
"The Rena Rowan Breast Center is an endeavor which we consider to be one of our most gratifying accomplishments. The great work performed by Drs. John Glick, Kevin Fox, and their colleagues, as well as all of their staff deserve the greatest degree of credit for the wonderfully growing success of the Breast Center's endeavors. And to all of you we express our deep abiding and heartfelt appreciation. Without the support of so many, we would not have achieved this great success."

My Husband Tries Type 1 Diabetes for a Day
It started at 7:45 a.m., when I heard my husband's phone alarming. Since it was his scheduled virtual type 1 for a day challenge with JDRF, I grabbed the phone as he kept snoring. Sure enough, it was his first text from JDRF, reminding him to gather his testing supplies before leaving the house. I shook his leg. "Wake up, sleepy, you have a text about your diabetes." He lay there, continuing to snooze. I tried again with "C'mon, you have to get up, your diabetes needs you!" He hollered between snores, "My diabetes is fine!" Oh, how I wish I could silence my diabetes in the morning with those words.
When my husband's phone began alarming with a low battery, he reluctantly got up and plugged it in. I thought how lucky I am that my husband doesn't really have diabetes. I could see that if he did, I would be the worrier and the one checking on him and reminding him of things. He rarely has to mention the "D" word to me, since I've had it for 18 years.
His next test said that he had high blood sugar for no apparent reason. It's true, sometimes blood sugars are just high, even when we've done things right. He stomped around the living room simulating my bad mood during a high blood sugar, but all in good fun. He then tested his blood sugar and pretended to take a shot to correct the "high."
Just when he'd get comfortable, his phone would alarm that it was time to check the betes again. He got a text that he was too high to eat something despite being hungry, so we decided to handle it by doing a workout to help lower his blood sugar. Of course, if you are truly too high, exercise is not recommended, but since this was a simulation, we happily used the scenario to squeeze in some cardio.
During a car ride, he was texted that his blood sugar was low and that he needed to drink some orange juice immediately. We pulled over at a gas station to get him some, and he drank the appropriate amount to equal the carbs needed.
The day was somewhat of a pain, but he admitted that it was nothing compared to truly having a diabetes life sentence. While he gladly tested his blood sugar to show support and add realism to the project, he cringed at the thought of using an actual needle (without insulin of course). The syringe was just too much reality. I don't blame him at all. I remember how hard my first injection was. It took a long time for me to muster the strength. I told him as I held the syringe that I wished I didn't ever have to take another shot, and he emotionally replied "Me too, baby."
The night ended around 3 a.m., when I woke to my husband squeezing me tight in my sleep. He had his arms around me, and when I asked what was going on, he commented he'd gotten a text that he had low blood sugar in the middle of the night and thought of me and began worrying about my blood sugars. I told him pretty much the same groggy thing he'd said that morning, "My diabetes is fine," and we both relaxed into sleep.
I'm sure he's happy to be done with having type 1 diabetes. Now we'll just hope that someday I will be too.

Earlier this week, I cringed at the naked, caress-fest that was Seal's new "Secret" music video. I thought about why it was so creepy to me. Well, I guess because I feel like watching Seal and Heidi Klum's simulation of "intimate moments" is show-offy It's like they're sending a not-so-subtle message, "Look at us! Our love is more passionate than yours!" It's just kind of annoying. And it always makes me wonder when a couple is so eager to show how in love they are.
After the jump, some more show-offy couples that drive me crazy.

Results tagged "Niger"
Would you like to limit the tag results display to a specific section?
If you do, then pick any of the sections below:
Or simply go to the aggregated tag results from:
President Hollande of France said that on Oct. 9 French forces destroyed an al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb convoy in northern Niger that was transporting weapons from Mali to Libya. French forces "neutralized" the militants and captured some of them. France is establishing a new counterterrorism base in Niger.
A Boko Haram cell planning attacks on Nigerien towns was arrested in Diffa. Although Niger still refuses to hand over Al-Saadi Gadhafi, a former high-ranking intelligence official in the Gadhafi regime has been extradited to Libya.
The first two of 12 French UAVs have been delivered to Niamey. The Reapers will support French operations in Mali, and are suspected to be earmarked for use in the Central African Republic soon as well.
President Issoufou said he would attempt "to lock" his country's borders to combat free access by Islamists and traffickers. He also warned that Libya may become like Somalia.
Four Frenchmen taken hostage in September 2010 in Niger by al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb were freed. The men are thought to have spent most of their captivity in Mali, where they were freed. AQIM has bases in northern Mali. President Hollande of France credited Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou with obtaining their release.
A heavily armed member of a MUJAO cell near the Nigerian border was arrested by Nigerien authorities in Madaoua. The French-run Somair uranium mine has fully resumed production after it was bombed in a MUJAO attack last month.
President Issoufou is trying to form a unity government that is willing to confront the rising threat of Islamist terrorism in the Sahel region. Nigerien forces recently assisted the Nigerian JTF in the arrest of a Boko Haram leader who had fled to Karanga.
The Signed in Blood Brigade, led by al Qaeda-linked Mokhtar Belmokhtar, issued a statement claiming a June 1 jailbreak in Niamey. Several terrorists, including Cheibane Ould Hama of Mali, were said to be among at least 22 prisoners freed. Some 6,240 Nigerian refugees now in Niger who fled Boko Haram have been promised by Nigerian officials that they will soon be able to return to Borno state.
Gunmen attacked the central prison in Niamey, killing at least two guards and entering the facility, in an apparent attempt to free Boko Haram inmates. At least 10 people were injured in the attack, and police are said to be looking for attackers who escaped in a truck and into nearby houses. The government disputed the claim that gunmen had infiltrated from outside and said the attackers had been captured and that the situation was under control.
President Issoufou said that the jihadists who launched simultaneous suicide bombings on a military base and a uranium mine in Niger on May 23 were also planning attacks in neighboring Chad. The Niger attacks have been claimed by the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO) and by Mokhtar Belmokhtar's Those Who Sign in Blood brigade.
French special forces and Nigerian troops killed the last two members of the Mokhtar Belmokhtar group's suicide assault team that attacked a military barracks in Agadez. Two cadets were also killed during the raid. In all, 10 Islamist fighters, 24 Nigerien troops, and a civilian were killed in the suicide assaults in Agadez and at a uranium mine in Arlit. President Issoufou said the attackers had come from southern Libya.
Mokhtar Belmokhtar said that his Those Who Sign in Blood Brigade carried out yesterday's suicide attacks in Niger along with the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa. Belmokhtar also promised more attacks in Niger if the government does not withdraw its military from Mali.
The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa claimed credit for a pair of suicide attacks. In one attack, five members of a suicide assault team assaulted a barracks in Agadez, killing 18 soldiers and a civilian. In another attack, a suicide bomber attacked workers at a uranium mine in Arlit.
France is sending special forces to protect the Areva uranium mining sites at Imouraren and Arlit. France derives about 20 percent of the raw material for its nuclear reactors from Niger. Some French forces are said to have arrived in the past week.
President Mahamadou Issoufou said Niger is ready to help Mali retake areas seized by Islamists this spring. Issoufou and Malian president Dioncounda Traore called on the UN to endorse a planned military intervention in Mali, and urged Malian rebel movements to lay down their arms, sever ties with Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and recognize Malian boundaries.
Gunmen kidnapped five aid workers and their driver in southeast Niger and headed for the Agadez region near the Malian border. Arabic was spoken by the gunmen. Al Qaeda-linked militants are suspected in the kidnapping.
The Justice Minister called for joint patrols with Nigerian forces along Niger's southern border to keep al Qaeda-linked insurgents out of Niger. Currently 3,000 Nigerien troops are deployed near the border with Mali, Algeria, and Libya, and special forces monitor the border with Nigeria. Five Boko Haram fighters were recently arrested in Zinder.
Security officials say militants from the al Qaeda-linked Boko Haram in Nigeria are transitting through Niger on their way to fight with Ansar Dine in Mali. Officials are concerned about the threat of radical Islam as Niger suffers increasing pressure from regional turmoil. US special forces are helping train Nigerien troops.
The European Union deployed a Capacity Building Mission team to Niger to help combat the spread of Islamist terror groups in the Sahel region. The 50-man-strong EUCAP team is described as a civilian mission, but includes military advisers.
The European Union will send 50 experts to Niger to train its security forces to counter the emerging al Qaeda threat in Africa's Sahel region. Niger, a major uranium exporter, needs assistance securing its border with Mali, where Islamists have seized half the country.

Patterson Farm 2012
We planned to go to Patterson Farm and get pumpkins and enjoy all the activities but because there is so much stuff to do at Patterson Farm we decided to let CK have some fun rather then focus on picking out pumpkins. Let's just say a lot has changed in the last year. Last year we went to Patterson Farm when CK was only 4 months old and this year CK is 16 1/2 months old and mobile. Very, very mobile! So needless to say the only pictures we get these days are action shots :).
Peak a Boo!
I don't want to sit I want to GO!!!
Mommy, what in the world are these big orange things?
Pushing this bike is fun!
Silly Dadda, he's putting Corn on my head!
Corn is so fun!!!!
Doggies … Doggies (He kept calling the ponies doggies :))
After all of the excitement of feeding the animals, chasing some ducks and playing all over the farm this boy was too tired to jump on the hayride to get pumpkins, so we are saving our trip to the pumpkin patch for a little later.
After his long nap we were off to the Mooresville Chili Cook-off where we got to taste test some amazing chili! They had live music and big bouncers for the kids. Caden got in his first bounce house and loved it! I love fall festivities. PS: you see that green tent on the left, we voted for them, they had the best chili! YUM I wish I had some right now on this gloomy rainy day!
What is your favorite thing to do during fall?

Looks like a blast! Wish we would have been here this weekend because I really wanted to hit up that chili cook off!
It was pretty fun, although we didn't stay too long because CK was already so beat from Patterson.
Love the pictures! We went yesterday but didn't get to spend much time because we hit up Lazy 5 Ranch too. I think we would have enjoyed the activities at Patterson better…..maybe we'll try again. Too bad Dan didn't know a out the chili-cookoff….he would have loved to participate!
Does Lazy Ranch do a pumpkin / fall thing too? I've been wanting to take CK back now that he's a little older. Although I don't know if he would stay on that wagon the whole time? I didn't even think about that; Dan would have def. loved it!
We went later that same day and had a blast. Riley loved the pony ride and chasing the ducks as well. I totally forgot about that Chili Cook Off- it did sound fun! Oddly enough, I made a huge pot of chili for Sunday football! Glad you guys had fun, too!
