(L-r) Dr. Marshall Stevenson, dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Lori Crawford, associate professor of art, Dr. Donald Blakey, director of the DSU Theatre and Dance Program, portrait artist Simmie Knox and DSU Acting President Claibourne D. Smith get together after the artist's presentation on Nov. 18.
Renowned Artist Simmie Knox Shows Portrait Masterpieces at DSU
Posted: November 20, 2009
Simmie Knox has come a long way in his art career since his DSU days in the early 1960s.
The renowned portrait painter came back to DSU on Nov. 18 to give a presentation in the Education & Humanities Theatre on the progression of his art career. In giving a chronological presentation of his art works and how it has developed into a lucrative portrait commission career, Mr. Knox noted that his move into the art field began at Delaware State College in 1961-62.
Enrolling at DSC initially to pursue a science teaching career, Mr. Knox said that a science faculty member noted his sketching skills and recommended that he consider changing his major to art.
Simmie Knox talks about of the First Lady portrait (in the background) he did of Hillary Clinton. |
Mr. Knox changed his academic focus to art and the rest is history. Mr. Knox later transferred to the University of Delaware and ultimately graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art and a Master of Fine Art from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University.
In his presentation, Mr. Knox showed the abstract artwork he created as the focus of his efforts early in his career. He shifted his specialty to portraits in the early 1980s and it has been in painting the likeness of many prominent subjects that he has made a nationally known name for himself.
As Mr. Knox showed a generous sampling of his portraits, he also shared anecdotes about the prominent subjects he has painted. One of his early prominent commissions was to paint a series of portraits for the family of comedian Bill Cosby. "I did the portrait of his mother Anna Cosby and I learned where he got his humor from," Mr. Knox said. "She left me in stitches numerous times."
After he landed an opportunity to do a portrait of the legendary Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, which led to numerous of commissions to do portraits of other prominent federal and state jurists throughout the country.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was impressed enough with the portrait done of her that she recommended Mr. Knox to then-President Bill Clinton, who commissioned Mr. Knox to do his official White House portrait, as well as one of his wife Hillary Clinton.
Through a power point presentation, Mr. Knox shared many other portraits – Muhammad Ali, former NYC Mayor David Dinkins, Oprah Winfrey, the late historian Dr. John Hope Franklin, Delaware Supreme Court Justice Randy Holland, the late singer Lou Rawls, Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron, numerous jurists and many others.

Mr. Knox was brought to the University for the Nov. 18 event by Dr. Donald Blakey, director of the DSU Theatre and Dance Program. Dr. Blakey was a physical education instructor of Mr. Knox during his Delaware State College years.
After answering questions from the audience, Mr. Knox went to the University's Art Department where he looked as some of the DSU students' works and held a more intimate discussion about art technique with them. He then completed his day at the University with a lunch reception with DSU Acting President Claibourne Smith, Provost Harry Williams, other faculty and guests.
Simmie Knox was invited to do the presentation by Dr. Donald A. Blakey, director of the DSU Theatre and Dance Program, who brought the artist in connection with his Harlem Renaissance events taking place during the week. Dr. Blakey was a physical education instructor of Mr. Knox during his Delaware State College years.

Ibn Hazm
Ibn Hazm
biographical name(born Nov. 7, 994, Córdoba, Caliphate of Córdobadied Aug. 15, 1064, Manta Lisham, near Sevilla) Islamic scholar and theologian. Born in Spain, he lived through the civil war that ended the Spanish Umayyad caliphate and was afterward imprisoned for having supported it. As a leader of the Zahiri school of jurisprudence, he taught that legal theory must rely on a literal interpretation of the Qur'an and tradition. His beliefs were often attacked, and his books were burned in public. His scholarship included not only jurisprudence and theology but also logic, literature, and history. Famed for his mastery of Arabic, he wrote about 400 books, fewer than 40 of which survive.

For Bears OT Jordan Mills, one opening changed it all
BY PATRICK FINLEY Staff Reporter September 14, 2013 1:54AM
Jordan Mills initially wasn't supposed to be in the Senior Bowl. His effort that week led him to the Bears, who have him starting at right tackle. | Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Updated: October 16, 2013 6:34AM
The champagne-colored 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass lumbered toward Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The air conditioner didn't work, two windows wouldn't roll down and the driver's side panel was missing.
An hour earlier, Jordan Mills had missed so many phone calls while working out in McKinnie, Texas, that he feared something was horribly wrong.
Now, after a short trip home in which he showered while his brother hurriedly threw his clothes in a bag, the offensive tackle was headed to the biggest job interview of his life.
Mills hadn't been invited to the Senior Bowl in January after his final season at Louisiana Tech. But Tennessee lineman Dallas Thomas was hurt, and Mills was needed as a last-minute replacement. He had to fly immediately to Alabama and practice the next morning in a week scrutinized by every NFL personnel office and ending with a game four days later.
For Mills, a native of Napoleonville, La., this was his big break.
Driving in the hand-me-down car, Mills and brother Rodney Rhyans talked, the way they do before every game.
''You've belonged from Day 1,'' Rhyans told Mills. ''When you get there, show them you should have been selected the first time around.''
Getting a break was only half the equation. Mills is the Bears' starter at right tackle Sunday — and former Bear J'Marcus Webb will be in a Minnesota Vikings uniform — partly because of what Mills did with the opportunity.
On his first day of Senior Bowl practice, the 6-5, 316-pounder fought with LSU's Lavar Edwards and Florida State's Everett Dawkins. That week, he tangled with players whose pedigrees surpassed most he saw in the Western Athletic Conference.
''I'm all for my teammates, and if you push me, I'm gonna push back," said Mills, the sixth of seven kids. ''We got into it. But I showed my toughness. Twice. But it was probably more than twice.''
After performing backpedal pass blocks in Louisiana Tech's hair-on-fire offense, Mills showed he could protect in the Senior Bowl's prototypical NFL offense — and that he could do it against elite competition.
''One of the better weeks I've seen from an offensive lineman,'' Mills' agent, Scott Casterline, said, ''and I've been doing this 31 years.''
Had the Senior Bowl never called, Mills would have played in the Texas vs. the Nation All-Star Game, from which 14 players were drafted into the NFL.
By contrast, 94 Senior Bowl players were picked, including Mills, whom the Bears selected in the fifth round.
''We're looking for a guy that has a good anchor: good lower-body strength, good hand strength and good arms,'' said Bears offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, who watched Senior Bowl practices on tape. ''He fit those three traits. When we met him and got to know him, he was smart. And he showed toughness on tape."
Mills replaced Webb after 10 preseason snaps, locking up the job decisively enough for the Bears to waive their former starter.
Kromer prefers the word ''competitive'' to ''nasty.'' But Mills has it, even if he's quicker to smile than to speak off the field.
''I've had to poke him and prod him just to get him to talk,'' rookie right guard Kyle Long said. ''He's a very smart guy, a very bright guy, an attention-to-detail kinda guy.''
Mills' Week 1 performance against the Cincinnati Bengals spoke for itself. He allowed just one quarterback hurry in 35 pass attempts, grading so high that Pro Football Focus has him fourth in the rankings for rookie of the year.
He'll be tested Sunday, though likely one-on-one; the Vikings blitzed only five times last week.
Mills now drives his dream car, a 2013 Dodge Challenger RT, leaving his Vernon Hills home using shortcuts handed down by veterans.
He wonders what would have happened without the Senior Bowl.
He's thankful he'll never find out.
''You never know,'' he said. ''That's why you stay prepared for anything. . . .
''But I'm glad it happened like it happened.''

Career Path Options for Child, Family, and School Social Workers
Every family will be supportive and stable in an ideal world. The children will also be happy at school as well as at home. Aged population will enjoy their retirement period. However in reality, many families and children face a lot of problems. For instance teenagers may become parents at an early stage.
Single parents may find it difficult to balance work front while raising kids on their own. Elderly people may lose their partners or suffer from memory problems. This is where the child, family, and school social workers have a big role to play. The child, family and school social workers mainly help the families and kids lead happy lives by getting back on track. They help families and children to cope with psychological and social issues that may crop up at school, home, at work or in the larger community.
Training, qualification and advancement
When it comes to training, qualification and advancement, child, family and school social workers must have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW). For jobs in the entry level, those who have majored in sociology, psychology and related fields can be considered. On the other hand to fill in vacancies in the clinical segment, a master's degree in social work is mandatory. Those having a bachelor's degree can take up direct service jobs such as residential counselor, group home worker, mental health assistant and caseworker. Programs include social research methods, social work values, promotion of social and economic justice, field education, social work values and ethics, social welfare policy and services and dealing with risk population.
For clinical jobs and positions in health settings, a master's degree in social work (MSW) is compulsory. A master's degree in administration or social service policy may also be required to get jobs in the private and public agencies. An advanced degree is essential to hold jobs in the administrative, supervisory and staff training positions. Candidates willing to teach or take up research positions must have a doctorate in social work (Ph. D or DSW). With a master's degree, candidates can work efficiently in their chosen field.
They can develop the skills essential for managing large caseloads, perform clinical assessments and take on supervisory roles. They can find ways by which social services can be used to meet the needs of clients. Master's programs generally are of 2 years duration with at least 900 hours of internship or supervised field instruction. Those pursuing part time programs can expect to complete the same in 4 years. Although a bachelor's degree in social work is not needed to get into a master's degree program, those who have majored in fields such as biology, psychology, economics, sociology, social work and political science would be given preference.
Knowledge of second language is preferable too. Advanced standing is offered by a majority of master's programs to those who have completed their bachelor's degree from a reputed social work college. With work experience and an advanced degree, child, family and school social workers can get promoted to senior positions such as assistant director, supervisor, program manager or executive director positions. Those who are working in this field can also find jobs in the field of consulting, teaching, research and formulating government policies. Child, family and school social workers can also take up private practice.
For this, a master's degree ad some supervised work experience is essential. Employment in this field is expected to soar and the need for such workers will be felt especially in the rural areas. Over 50% of child, family and school social workers find jobs in the health care and social assistance area while just over 30% work for government. Candidates willing to pursue their career as a social worker must be sensitive to other people's problems, must be objective and emotionally mature. They must be able to work independently, maintain cordial relationships with clients and colleagues and handle responsibility. By working as a social work aide or a volunteer for some time, candidates can assess their exact interest in this field.
Nature of work
A strong desire to help others is the foremost quality required to work as a good child, family and school social workers. Such workers help people to solve everyday issues and problems arising within the family or outside. They may also help people facing problems related to substance abuse, unemployment, disability, a fatal disease or others. Also, child, family and school social workers can work as advocates or researchers. They can also work in the capacity of licensed clinical social workers by getting licenses from the state.
Child, family and school social workers provide social services and assistance in order to improve the social and psychological functioning of children and families. After assessing the needs of customers, the workers provide assistance so that their circumstances can be improved. They also help in coordinating the services that are available for families and children.
Finding foster homes for abused or neglected children, making arrangements for adoptions and helping single parents finding good day care for their infants also come under the role of such workers. While working in schools, the child, family and school social workers act as mediators between the school and its families. They help students to reach their top potential both personally and academically by working with school officials, teachers, guardians and parents.
They work with children who suffer from disabilities and also constantly remain in touch with their families. Their help may also be sought to deal with problems such as drug and alcohol addiction, teenage pregnancy, misbehavior and difficult students. These workers also conduct workshops on important topics such as conflict resolution within the classroom for the benefit of students and teachers. Child, family and social school workers work for family and individual service agencies, schools and government and are known as child protective services social workers, child welfare workers and family services social workers also.
Although most of the child, family and school social workers work in a school or an office, some of them are required to attend meetings and travel locally to meet clients. Though their work can be challenging it can be extremely satisfying also. Under staffing during times of big caseloads can cause pressure. While most of these workers work a standard 40-hour workweek, some of them also work during the nights and week-ends. Part time jobs are also available to this type of workers. Workers employed in these occupations usually need several years of on the job training, work-related experience and/or vocational training. Are you suitable? If you are willing to counsel people with various problems and backgrounds, refer them to programs and services, complete paperwork and maintain records, take care of yourself without burnout and work with other professionals, then this job would be perfect for you.
It will also help if you have a caring attitude and can easily listen to others without judgment as they confide their problems to you. You must be able to offer the best services to clients by standing by them always. Social workers have to care about lots of people and handle their stress. Hence they have to maintain healthy lifestyles. You can start working towards your ambition by starting early. For instance you can sign up to be a peer counselor even when you are in school. If there are social workers in your school already, then you can talk to them about their profession and nature of work.
You can also offer to volunteer your services by working as an aide at a home for senior citizens. You can take up psychology as a minor as this can help to understand about emotions and human development. It pays to read about famous social workers such as Frances Perkins, Jane Adams and others after taking up research. Employment and Job Outlook for Child, Family, and School Social Workers The employment opportunities for child, family and school social workers are increasing day by day. There is an acute demand for those who are qualified in this field. The number of people who are already in this profession is 277,670. According to changing Employment figures (2008-2018), employment in this field is expected to grow at an average of 7 – 13%.
Hence there are favorable job opportunities for those seeking employment in this segment. Job openings as compared to job seekers are found to be in rough balance. Out of a total of 642,000 social workers, about 292,600 are child, family and school social workers. A majority of these workers are found employed in rural areas. In the next decade alone, jobs for these workers are expected to increase by 12 percent which is quite high when compared to other occupations. Government budget allocation to a large extent will determine the growth of such workers because a vast majority of them are working for government agencies.
The availability of jobs in schools and other areas for these workers will depend mostly on government funding. However the need for such workers is bound to increase because of the increase in student enrollments and the growing need to integrate handicapped children into general classrooms. As far as job opportunities for child, family and school social workers are concerned, there can be a tough competition in big cities because of the availability of social worker training programs. On the other hand, it can be difficult to find well trained staff in rural areas. Taking into consideration the specialty, jobs will be available in plenty for those who have a background in substance abuse treatment and gerontology.

Recently we studied home sales data from 2010 and 2011 and found that thanks to the hard work of our amazing listing agents, Redfin listings sell faster and for more money than the competition.
That's a great starting point, but what if we could do more? What if we could get our clients' listings in front of more serious home buyers searching in their neighborhood and give them a better chance of selling for even more money, even faster? That's just what we set out to do in 2012.

DIY Asus Eee Keyboard: in Soviet Russia, You Make Your Own Computer
In Soviet Russia, you don't wait for ASUS to release – no. In Soviet Russia, you make do with an old – no. In Soviet Russia, my jokes work. Anyway… A Russian geek stuffed the innards of an Eee PC 900 into a Sven Multimedia EL 4002 (pdf) keyboard.
If you've seen the real ASUS Eee keyboard – which incidentally will be available this month – you know that it doesn't look anything like this mod. But even though the mod is chubby and faceless, it's every bit as useful as the real thing: just attach it to a monitor via VGA and you're good to go. The keyboard also has USB ports, a headphone jack and a built-in mic.
FYI, an Eee PC 900 netbook is equipped with a 900 MHz Intel Celeron M and 1 GB of DDR2 RAM. Here's a naked look at the mod:
Funny how there's still quite a bit of space left on the keyboard. You know, space for something like a screen. But maybe that wasn't in the modders' plan, which you can view in detail – and in Russian – here. Don't even attempt to run the page through Google Translate, as the resulting "translation" only adds random English words, not sense.

i recently bought a white Asus Eee PC and i am very surprised about the size of this machine. it is very small and lightweight compared to my Toshiba laptop.
i bought an Asus Eee PC about a month ago and i am still amazed of its compact size and how lightweight it is. `
I own an Asus Eee and an acer netbook but i often use the Asus Eee because it is so much lighter and easily fits in my small bag.
. -
I got an Asus Eee as a christmas gift. It is very compact but i wish that the LCD screen was larger.
my Asus Eee PC broke down a couple of months ago. I bought a new one which is still an Asus Eee, i love this netbook.

Michael Thompson up by 3 shots
SAN FRANCISCO -- Michael Thompson strung together four birdies on the back nine at Olympic Club that carried him to a 4-under 66 and a three-shot lead after the opening round of the U.S. Open on Thursday.
Tiger Woods was in a five-way tie for second place after a 69 that featured consecutive birdies late in his round, including a 35-foot putt that banged into the back of the cup on No. 5.
More U.S. Open coverage
Tiger Woods was the one member of The Big Three on Thursday who lived up to the billing at the U.S. Open, writes Gene Wojciechowski. Story
The USGA hopes to mimic the opening-round conditions at Olympic on Friday, which again will make things difficult for the field, writes Bob Harig. Story
Nick Watney knows he has the game to beat anybody in the world, but this week more than most, it's the golf course he has to conquer, writes Farrell Evans. Story
• O'Connor: Martin shows no quit
• Smith: Allen finally fulfills dream
• Stats & Info: Woods rolls to 69
• Four-Ball: Can Lefty make cut?
Only six players managed to break par in the opening round, which would have come as a surprise to none of the players. After opening with a birdie, Joe Ogilvie turned to his caddie and said, "Seventy-one more pars and we're hoisting the trophy." He shot 73.
Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, is trying to capture his first major. It most likely won't be this one. He failed to make a single birdie and shot 79. He played with Rory McIlroy, the defending champion and No. 2 in the world, who shot a 77. Lee Westwood, No. 3 in the world and the other member of the group, was 4 over through six holes and rallied for a 73.
The shocking numbers: The top three in the world ranking shot a combined 19-over par and had only three birdies.
"It shows how tough it is," Donald said. "There aren't that many opportunities out there."
McIlroy said to a pool reporter that he simply got out of position. What didn't need saying is that Olympic Club, with firm conditions and with fairways that are among the toughest to hit, is a far different test from Congressional, where the 23-year-old shattered the U.S. Open scoring record at 16-under 268.
The good news for McIlroy? His record is safe here.
"Anything just a little off and it really punishes you," McIlroy said. "You have to be precise with your tee shots and your iron shots and leave it on the right side of the pins, and today I didn't really do any of that."
Nick Watney holed out from the fairway for an albatross 2 on the par-5 17th hole, sending him to a 69. Graeme McDowell, who won the U.S. Open two years ago down the coast at Pebble Beach, and Justin Rose shot 69 in the faster conditions of afternoon.
David Toms shot his 69 in the morning, relying on a solid short game and a good attitude.
"You really just have to concentrate, give it your all on every shot and never give in to the golf course, because it will punish you if your attitude is not good, if your concentration is not good," Toms said. "There's just too many hard shots out there to really ever give in to it and not be there."
The group at 70 included Jim Furyk, Matt Kuchar and 17-year-old Beau Hossler, already playing in his second U.S. Open.
Thompson's game seems to work on this quirky, tree-lined course built on the side of a giant dune that separates the Pacific Ocean from Lake Merced.
He was runner-up in the 2007 U.S. Amateur at Olympic Club and couldn't wait to get back.
After a roller-coaster of a front nine that featured consecutive bogeys and holing a bunker shot for birdie on the downhill par-3 third hole, Thompson hit his stride on the back nine, even if hardly anyone was watching.
He made five consecutive 3s -- three of them birdies -- and closed his dream round with a 10-foot birdie putt on the short, tough 18th for the lead. Thompson took only 22 putts.
"On the back side, the putter ... seems like every putt went in the hole," said Thompson, a 27-year-old playing his first U.S. Open as a pro. "Got a little nervous there once all those cameras showed up. It's always a little bit of an adjustment. In that sense, I kind of wish I was Phil or Tiger, because you get the cameras from the beginning."
There weren't enough cameras or fans to find Mickelson's opening tee shot, but it was easy to find Woods.
He missed only four fairways -- three of them that ran off the severe slopes and into the first cut, the other into a bunker on the 256-yard seventh hole, which is where he was aiming. The only glitch was failing to get the ball closer to the hole with short irons, including the 14th when it landed on the back of the green and bounced off the base of the grandstand.
That led to one of his two bogeys, the other at No. 6 with a poor bunker shot. The only surprise was a good one -- the 35-foot birdie putt on the fifth that he struck too hard and worried it might lead to a three-putt until the hole got in the way.
"Five was a fluke," Woods said. "That putt was off the green."
A marine layer in the morning allowed for cool, overcast conditions that eventually gave way to sunshine. That didn't help. Steve Marino opened with an 84. Zach Johnson didn't feel as though he played all that badly until he signed for a 77. Padraig Harrington thought the course was fair, and allowed for good scores. But he had two four-putts and a three-putt that ruined a reasonable day and gave him a 74.
"It just goes to show that firm greens scare the life out of professional golfers," Harrington said.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Office of the Press Secretary

Fact Sheet: Global Health Security
"To stop disease that spreads across borders, we must strengthen our systems of
public health. We will continue the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and
malaria. We will focus on the health of mothers and children. And we must come
together to prevent, detect, and fight every kind of biological danger - whether
it is a pandemic like H1N1, a terrorist threat, or a treatable disease. This
week, America signed an agreement with the World Health Organization to affirm
our commitment to meet this challenge. Today, I urge all nations to join us in
meeting the WHO's goal of making sure all nations have core capacities to
address public health emergencies in place by 2012. That is what our commitment
to the health of our people demands."
--President Obama's Address to the United Nations General Assembly,
September 22, 2011
This week President Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly
and urged the global community come together to prevent, detect, and fight
every kind of biological danger, whether it is a pandemic, terrorist
threat, or treatable disease. The United States is taking a
multi-faceted approach to the full spectrum of challenges posed by
infectious diseases, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or the
result of a deliberate attack. Through fora such as the UN Security
Resolution 1540, the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), and the World
Health Organization (WHO), the United States is pursuing a common vision
where disease no longer threatens the security and prosperity of nations.
The "Global Health Security" policy framework is derived from the common
approaches that shape key U.S. strategies and initiatives: the National
Strategy for Countering Biological Threats, the National Security
Strategy, Department of Health and Human Services National Health Security
Strategy, and the Global Health Initiative.
Improving capacities to detect, report and respond to infectious diseases
quickly and accurately lies at the heart of the global community's ability
to address all infectious disease threats, as reflected in the WHO's
International Health Regulations (IHR). The United States is committed to
assisting countries in developing core capacities to assess, notify, and
respond to infectious disease threats and to meet the WHO milestone of
having these capacities in place by 2012. Coordinating across its diverse
international health programs, the United States is focused on assisting
host countries in meeting their IHR obligations.
Commitment to the World Health Organization's International Health
On September 19th, the United States took an important step by signing an
agreement with WHO on "Global Health Security," affirming our shared
commitment to strengthen cooperation on shared health security
priorities. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by Health
and Human Services Secretary Sebelius, WHO Director-General Chan and
establishes a framework for collaboration on common goals in the area of
global health security to ensure that the international community
effectively manages public health risks. It outlines a number of areas of
cooperation, including: global alert and response systems, the
International Health Regulations, public health networks, global health
leadership, risk management, and preparedness.
Biological Weapons Convention
The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC), which entered into
force in 1975, is the first treaty to unequivocally ban the development
and stockpiling of an entire class of weapons of mass destruction. The
United States seeks to use an upcoming December Review Conference to
advance the goals set forth in the President Obama's National Strategy for
Countering Biological Threats, promulgating the view that effective BWC
implementation requires multinational coordination and collaboration on
concrete activities to counter biological proliferation and bioterrorism.
The BWC Revcon offers an important opportunity to revitalize international
efforts against these threats, helping to build global capacity to combat
infectious diseases, prevent biological weapons proliferation and
bioterrorism, and bring security, health, and scientific communities
together to raise awareness of evolving biological risks and develop
practices to manage them.
Global Health Initiative
President Obama's Global Health Initiative (GHI), launched in May 2009,
partners with countries to improve health outcomes through strengthened
health systems, increased and integrated investments in maternal and child
health, family planning, nutrition and infectious diseases including
HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases, and
through a focus on improving the health of women, newborns and children.
One of the key principles of the GHI focuses is strengthening health
systems to save lives and achieve sustainable outcomes.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Spike!
Facts about Spike
- Breed: Schnauzer (Miniature) Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Spike's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Spike is a 6 year old male white mini who was an owner turn in because he didn't like the 13 year old son. We don't know what happened between the son and Spike. Spike does like to always be with someone. He gets along with other dogs where he is now. He would do best in a home where someone is home a great deal of the time and there are no small children. Preferably no children under 15-16 years old. Spike's adoption fee is $150 each and he has been neutered, had full panel blood tests done, be microchipped and up to date on all of his shots. We do prefer that you be within driving distance of Phoenix to adopt one of our dogs. If the adoption doesn't work out for some reason with in the first thirty days, the adoption fee is refunded upon return of the dog. Our contract states that during the life of the dog, should something happen that you can not keep any of our dogs, the dog must be returned to VSGSR. Should a family member wish to adopt the dog, they would be given first priority. We are responsible for our dogs for their entire life. If interested, please email us at email@example.com for more information. Emailing is the best way to contact us as we are all volunteers.
Other Pets at Valley of the Sun Giant Schnauzer Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Spike, a Phoenix Schnauzer (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Schnauzer (Miniature) for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Schnauzer (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Schnauzer (Miniature) breeders who help with Schnauzer (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

MUMBAI: A week after he completed a year in the office, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan asked all his cabinet colleagues to submit their comprehensive performance reports to him within a week.
Confirming Chavan's directive, a senior NCP minister said a senior bureaucrat from the CM's office had asked him to send the details of his work over the year to the CM as early as possible, preferably in a week's time. "It's a fact that cabinet members have been asked to email the reports to the CM's secretary," he said. A senior bureaucrat said the CM's objective for the exercise was to father more information on the decisions taken by his government, proposals submitted by various departments and their current status. "It's a routine practice to secure performance report," he said.
It is for the first time in the recent past that a chief minister has asked the cabinet members to submit performance reports. Ever since the formation of the Congress-NCP government in 1999, NCP president Sharad Pawar has been following the practice, no Congress leader has done it so far.
Just a week ago, Pawar held a meeting with all the NCP cabinet members to review their performance. But NCP leaders do not seem to be much impressed by the practice, as a part minister said, "Pawar has been asking for performance reports, but no follow-up action is ever taken. So, the entire exercise appears to be a routine one."
The minister added that most cabinet members, writing their work reports, were caught in a piquant situation. "The report demands that we write about the key decisions taken and submit vision documents for the ensuing year. As most of our proposals are still pending in the CM's office and no decision has been taken on them, it will be difficult for us to put anything on paper," he added.

Hi, I have a 29 gallon aquarium and am looking to put in a ventless heating stove. I know you shouldn't put it too close to a fish tank, but I can't seem to find any info on how close is too close. Would 3 feet be too close for a 2500 btu stove? I obviously don't wnat to cook my fish, is there any kind of formula for figuring this out? |

Usually you will not want the temperature of the aquarium to get above 70 |

Other Pets at Imminent Danger German Shepherd - TN Chapter Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chloe, a Greeneville German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Greeneville, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Greeneville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greeneville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greeneville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greeneville paves the way for another one to be saved.

I bought seeds for this and planted it outside in my containers. It did great! A customer came in and asked me if I had the purple one, I didn't even know there was one. Anyone know about any other ones? A purple one(maybe she said red, my memory is going) sounds nice. Any thoughts? Marg |
Follow-Up Postings:
Plectranthus Nico has a purplish back to its leaf. Maybe she was referring to it. It's also a very good performer. I keep slips over winter and plant it every year. |
Thanks! I checked it out and didn't realize there were so many different varieties. I'll have to be on the lookout for them. Marg |

January 1st, 2014. A day I'll never forget. Just over a week removed from the largest outdoor game in NHL history, the images are just as vivid in my head. While it may have taken many of us a while to thaw out from the cold, it will definitely take much longer to forget the atmosphere at the Big House on New Years Day.
With an abundance of snow falling and below zero temperatures, the #SEAofBLUE endured the elements to cheer the blue and white on to victory. Wings chants echoed by Go Leafs Go's, sing-a-longs and dancing to keep warm during stoppages, all capped off by Tyler Bozak's shootout winner. It was a magical day for any hockey fan.
Let's look back to that day and some of the highlights.
The coaching staffs make their way to the ice lead by head coaches Randy Carlyle and Mike Babcock….
Jonathan Bernier in net accessorized by new pads and a toque held on with double stick tape….
JVR's game-tying second period goal puts the Leafs on the board….
And then Tyler Bozak's deflection to put the Leafs up 2-1….arguably one of the coolest photos from that day.
The Wings tie it up and we're headed to a shootout. After 2 Leafs shooters we see the game winning shootout goal from Tyler Bozak….
The Leafs claim a victory…
Some other AWESOME photos here in the gallery…
The fourth episode of The Leaf presented by BlackBerry premieres after the Leafs game this Sunday on LeafsTV and goes behind the scenes at the Winter Classic. Check out the trailer…

E! Online is exclusively reporting that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Adrienne Maloof may leave the cast, as her nemesis and fellow cast mate Brandi Glanville climbs the New York Times bestseller list with her tell-all "Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders" book.
Glanville appeared at a packed Barnes & Noble bookstore in the Los Angeles Grove last night, meeting a real housewife of Beverly Hills from the 60s and 70s, Grace Robbins, the wife of Harold Robbins, who sold near a billion books that were turned into movies.
Notably at this event, Lita Weissman, the Barnes & Noble book event manager, announced that Brandi Glanville had cracked the New York Times bestseller list.
Producers of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are looking to bring some new ladies into the mix, but are having trouble attracting serious contenders, a source exclusively tells E! News. Already announced was that original cast member Taylor Armstrong appears to be on her way out.
Meanwhile, Brandi Glanville appeared on Howard Sterns show on Tuesday, and the outspoken Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star spoke candidly about the shows salaries, lamenting that the more senior Housewives make $250,000 per season.
I want what theyre getting, cause I feel like I work hard, explains Glanville, who says of her co-stars, They are just c*nts.
While none of the ladies have responded officially to that slur, sources tell E! News that producers do not want Armstrong to return and that Adrienne Maloof might be exiting the reality hit as well, but the show's producers are hoping she sticks around, and brings her new man, Rod Stewart's son Sean Stewart, with her.
But why is Maloof reluctant to return?
"The truth is that Adrienne is fed up of all the drama taking place with Brandi [Glanville]. She is considering not returning as she wants to concentrate on her businesses and she doesn't want to be pulled down into the whole mess with Brandi again," one source explains. "What happened over the last season with her kids has really upset her.
Maloof isn't the only one frustrated with Brandi Glanville, E! claims producers are "upset" with her "because she's talked about her salary. None of the Housewives are allowed to discuss the money that they make from the show."
Armstrong will be exiting the show over her alleged drinking issues. "The producers are being nice to her as they want her to leave the show gracefully and not turn on them and run to the press," an E! source spills. "But they definitely do not want her back."
No one wants to be on this show it seems. E! reports from a source: "They are having problems finding new members for the cast as barely any of the women they have approached want to do the show," a source reveals. "It's not fun anymore. It seems dirty and nasty. And not something real Beverly Hills women want to get involved in. The catfights are too nasty; it's not classy and not something they think will be good for them."
It is rumored that Dana Devon, the former host of Extra, may join the fray. "There have been talks," E! confirms.

CHOICE has welcomed a proposal to crack down on 'fat free' and 'percentage fat free' claims on unhealthy products but the people's watchdog says the proposed rules must extend to all fat content claims on food labels to avoid creating a big fat loophole.
"CHOICE is particularly concerned that under the current proposal, a product would have to meet nutrition criteria to claim '99% fat-free' but would have no restrictions about claiming '1% fat'. That would be a strange outcome," says CHOICE spokesperson, Ingrid Just.
20 Jan 2009 | Food labelling can be a minefield of confusion and misinformation. Labelling legislation offers some relief, but often isn't sufficiently enforced.
15 Sep 2011 | Seductive labels on food that promise less saturated fat, no added sugar or a bumper amount of wholegrains often don't tell the whole nutritional story.
19 Sep 2008 | A colour-coded traffic lights system, first developed by the UK Food Standards Agency, has been suggested as a more useful tool for helping consumers to make healthier food choices.

Gear Review
Halo Olah!
I bought the black one. It's pretty cool. It doesn't look as cheap as the colored ones.
I wear it with whatever I'm wearing. I recently wore to a corporate meeting with a nice suit on on and it matched pretty good. I get compliments on it because it's pretty unique. Unique, New York, unique, New York.
I'd give it 5 stars but the following led me not to:
If you wear it on your left wrist, and you bend your wrist (picture putting your hand flat like you would if you were walking on your hands) it presses in the two right buttons simultaneously which turn the hourly alert beep on (or off). Kinda annoying.
It's about 1 1/8 inch square face.
Backlight works well.

How to Build Your Own Jurassic Park
Broken Projector By Scott Beggs on April 5, 2013 | Be the First To CommentYou're going to need some foam core, a few Jeeps and some black-tinted KY jelly. Such is the glamour of the filmmaking business. With Jurassic Park in theaters again, renowned special effects artist Shannon Shea joins us to talk about what it was like building dinosaurs and being on set for the Steven Spielberg picture. He was also nice enough to share some very rare behind-the-scenes pictures (and a dramatic reading of a scripted scene that never made the film). For more from us on a daily basis, follow the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on the Twitter. And, as always, we welcome your feedback.

Blood, Sweat and Latex: Lending a (Motorized) Hand to 'The Monster Squad'
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on September 12, 2011 | Comments (2)After working with both Mark Shostrom and Sonny Burman on Evil Dead II, I had ended up back at Stan Winston's studio. Stan and his permanent crew of John Rosengrant, Shane Mahan, Tom Woodruff, Jr., and Richard Landon were back in the shop from England and Aliens, and had just completed the Robert Zemekis episode of Amazing Stories, "Go to the Head of the Class." The next assignment was a mechanical boar for the Debra Winger/Theresa Russell vehicle Black Widow. No, you didn't miss anything. The sequence was cut just as we finished the puppet. Alec Gillis returned to the studio in time for the next Amazing Stories episode "Miss Stardust" for which we created three intergalactic beauty contestants. Ironically, it was during the shooting at Universal Studios, that Stan told us what the next assignment was going to be: A cross between The Goonies and Ghostbusters entitled The Monster Squad. Okay, confession time here. I do like the original Universal films Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolfman; I'm not a huge fan of The Mummy. Yes, my brother and I saw all of the films and collected the Aurora model kits (so good) but my love of monsters truthfully was for giant monsters: King Kong, Godzilla, Ray Harryhausen pictures, dinosaurs – those were the monsters that really ignited my imagination. I was partial to The Creature from the Black Lagoon, but technically, this was a 50s monster and not a 30s monster like its cousins. So when Stan told us […]
Blood, Sweat and Latex: Brother, would you haunt this 'House?'
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on July 25, 2011 | Be the First To CommentNearly anyone can do something once. Repeating an experience for a second time, in some ways, is more daunting than the first time. When you are new to a situation, everything is potential. Possibilities. Every result is either positive or a "learning experience." However, shouldering an experience for a second time, it is easy to let negative questions and self-doubt wander into your psyche, especially when that second experience, in comparison to the first, appears grander and more demanding. Confused? Let me explain. The Supernaturals was a "friendly experience." Mark Shostorm and his small crew bonded quickly over a challenging but manageable amount of work. We all parted friends and remain in touch (except Ed Ferrell – Where are you Ed?). After the wrap of the show, I had returned home to New Orleans to spend the holidays with my (then) girlfriend Tracy and my family. I had no idea when fortune would take me back out to California to work on another film, but somehow, I knew it was going to happen. I knew so positively that I didn't run out and get a job. As fate would have it, I was correct.
Blood, Sweat and Latex: The Journey of a Thousand Miles…
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on July 18, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor those new to the column, I am revisiting important events in my life that have made me what I am today: A Special Effects Make Up Artist seeking relevance in the 21st century. You start at the bottom, right? You pay your dues. You put in the hours and the effort and experience the pain and frustration of being a novice. Yep, that just about sums it all up. It was September of 1984, and I was in South Pasadena working on a project for Mark Shostrom entitled Ghost Soldiers*. The plot seemed simple enough: A group of young inexperienced soldiers, led by a seasoned drill instructor, is taken to a remote, rural area for a training exercise. They aren't prepared to face a small battalion of resurrected Confederate, Civil War soldiers intent on killing them.
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we talk with stuntman legend Vic Armstrong (who brought to life Indiana Jones, Superman and James Bond). We also chat with camera operator/cinematographer Peter Simonite (Skateland, Tree of Life), and we dig deeper into the monster-making world of effects master Shannon Shea. Plus, Matt Razak from Flixist spars off with Mike Smith from Examiner.com for our Movie News Pop Quiz, and we all learn an important lesson. By that, I mean a lesson about re-imaginings, reboots and re-re-re-makes. Listen Here: Download This Episode
Blood, Sweat and Latex: Confessions of a Career Make-Up Effects Artist
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on April 25, 2011 | Comments (3)Shannon Shea has done special effects work on over sixty films. From Evil Dead II to Predator. From Dances With Wolves to Jurassic Park. From In the Mouth of Madness to Sin City. Every week he delves into his personal and professional history to tell the story of how he became a monster that makes monsters. So there I was, in a small conference room in Woodland Hills, California on a warm February afternoon in 2009. I knew that the meeting would go long, and I would have to spend at least an hour driving home to Los Angeles. Sitting next to me was Mark Dippe, Industrial Light and Magic alumnus and director of the movie Spawn, and across from me sat Dean Cundey, the guy that not only shot all of John Carpenter's early movies, but also shot Jurassic Park and Back to the Future just to name a few. At the end of the table was producer Tom Kiniston; I had worked with Tom on the Tremors TV series, and next to him was Brian Gilbert, formerly of Stan Winston Productions. The director was Brian Levant, whom I had never worked with personally. However I was familiar with him because I was representing KNB EFX Group, and KNB had made the Turbo-Man Suits for Jingle All The Way, a Mr. Levant effort. We, along with other department heads had gathered to discuss Scooby Doo and the Curse of the Lake Monster. As we began to go through the […]

conference date: May 11, 2006
for quarter ending: April 30, 2006 (1st quarter 2007)
Overview: Very good revenue and EPS growth tempered some what by guidance to flat guidance for the current quarter.
Basic data:
Revenues of $681.8 million were up 7.6% sequentially and 17% from year-earlier. GAAP net income was $90.7 million or .23 per share. This included $23 million of stock-based compensation expense.
All numbers reflect the 2 for 1 share split of April 6, 2006.
Each business segment showed growth.
Gross margins were also a record, 42.5%.
$959 million ending cash reflecting acquisitions. Inventory up 92 million mainly due to new GeForce products.
Q2 is difficult to forecast. Normally desktop declines along with PC industry. But sees growth in MPC and notebook business, plus new products. Net result will be flat revenue. Gross margins will require hard work to maintain. Operating expense will grow only slightly. If R&D tax credit is renewed tax rate will decline.
Conference Highlights:
When Sony Playstation 3 is launched (November 3) it will incorporate NVIDIA chips, committed to 4 million units by December 31. Many previously-announced new products were mentioned. Initiatives with both Intel and AMD. Acquisitions included Uli and Hybrid Graphics. GeForce7 adoption contributed to high gross margins.
AMD64 segment went from 35 to 42% of market share.
Desktop segment grew only slightly, but that is despite a typically seasonally weak quarter for PC sales.
MCP grew 65% and GPU 10% year-over-year.
Expenses were higher than anticipated for several reasons, including adding employees and stock option tax related expenses. Headcount ended at 3,175. Tax rate was up due to lack of R&D tax credit.
Has 98% share of multi-GPU market. Gaining notebook market share. Ready for Vista, which will require new graphics cards. Also looking to smart phone graphics for growth. Share grew from 7% to 12%.
MCP business? Market share was below expectations. Believes was because a competitor in Asia sold obsolete inventory at very low cost.
Revenue guidance: does it imply handset decline? No.
Sony NRE? Roughly $23 million. Expect flat this quarter.
Growth areas for rest of year? GeForce 7 continues to ramp, lots of OEM design wins on desktop and notebook. Blue Ray disk should start driving growth. Graphic processing requirements are much higher for DVD.
Will inventories increase again? Not their expectation.
Shortages for GeF 7 seen. Why increased inventories? Because of high demand and need for rapid ramp-up, plus SLI requires 2 GPUs per PC.
New product inventory grew $150 million, overall growth was $90 million, so older product inventory decreased by $60 million.
Physics feature will make SLI much more valuable because one GPU can be used for physics processing. Physics will make virtual worlds seem much more alive, which in turn will create more graphics workload.
Workstations? Down 1% quarter to quarter.
Margins may increase because GeForce 7 margins will be better than prior products. They have been working on operational performance, which also helps margins.

I have had the Samsung FL's for a few years. Now, we are trying to make our laundry room layout more efficient. I would like to take the machines off of their pedestals and put a counter top above them for folding (see pic below), and probably hang some upper cabinets. Has anyone gone from pedestals to no pedestals? Will I hate having to bend that low? Anyone BTDT? |

I have two FL sets. One on pedestals, none on the other. While I like the height to load and unload clothes using the pedestal set, I prefer to fold on the non-pedestal set. I think in the end, I would go for the extra counter space. It seems no matter how much you counter space you have, it isn't enough. |
I agree, aamassther. That's why I've decided to just go for it. Thank you for weighing in with your experience! |
Angel411 - just finished remodeling, and I've got FL's / no pedestals - with countertop. And I absolutely love having the countertop. Door openings on my Electrolux w/d are such that loading and unloading the units is not a hassle or annoyance for me [I'm 5'6" and 63 yrs old, no 'spring chicken'...] - And the countertop space is priceless. Just my thoughts here... |
