Many higher education schools in the Northwest have found it's more realistic to promote responsible drinking among students instead of discouraging it altogether.

Does anyone know what this plant is called? It has 5 pointed trailing purple flowers with white centers and heart shaped leaves with serrated edges. I've tried searching online but I can't seem to find it anywhere. This picture was taken in Connecticut. |

Looks like a type of Campanula, bellflower. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Look at this picture
Maybe Campanula poscharskyana. Not a US native. |
Thank you esh and flora. It does look like a Campanula! |
Campanula confusa |

Photographers used to offer the finish print to their customers on heavily textured paper. It added an artsy look to photos that people were proud to hang out and display in their homes. However, when it comes time to scan a textured photo the light from the scanner reflects in all those little peeks and valleys of texture. So how do we soften the texture while not losing a lot of clarity? Here is one quick and easy way to try. Duplicate the original layer either by keyboard shortcut Ctrl on a PC or Command on a Mac + J, double-click on the layer name and rename it, we'll name this Suzy and click next to it to accept.
Let's zoom in really tight so you can see the texture really, really well. Zoom in with Ctrl or Command and the Plus key a little too far let's go back one that looks really good. Scroll up, let's look at this portion in her hair and over on this side. Now let's go to the Filter menu down to Blur and then Surface Blur, and move it over just a little so we can see the area we want to see.
We want to do a very soft blur, so we'll try a Radius of about 3 and a Threshold of around 24 and click OK to accept. Let's look at our before and after. You see we soften that texture up pretty well, but I think we still need to sharpen it up a little bit. So now we'll duplicate Suzy with Ctrl or Command+J, double-click on the name and we'll name it sharpen and click next to it to accept.
Now we'll go to Filter>Other and High Pass. Use a Radius of about I will go up here and try something pretty high, let's go up around 50, 50.3 is good. You should always experiment with each photo to see what works best with that photo. Now we'll click OK and change your layer Blend mode to Soft Light. Now that we have our sharpening layer we can see that the edges of the hair look a little too sharp, they brought a little too much texture back in, so what we need to do is get rid of that.
I think we mainly want to sharpen the eyes that's the most important part here, the rest can be a little soft. So what we'll do to get rid of that is go down to the bottom of the layers panel and select the Add a layer mask icon. This brings a mask up next to our sharpen layer. Over here in our Color Picker you can see that now white is the foreground color and black is the background color. We need to invert our mask from white to black. So what we'll do is choose Ctrl or Command+Backspace, and now you can see everything through that mask.
To paint in the areas and resharpen the eyes we want to go over to our Brush tool, and again our colors who inverted so our white is our foreground color and that's what we need and we'll start to paint in the eyes to bring back sharpness. Let's get here over the lid, give her a little makeup. This is a 60s photo and they did this sort of thing back then. Let's scroll down and see if anything else needs to be sharp maybe it will give her teeth a little sharpness right here on the edge, no, we don't like that.
If you don't like something simply invert your Color Picker and go back and paint it back up. Let's zoom out and see how it looks before and after. Let's click our Visibility icon and get back to our Background layer. Now let's look at our blur layer and with a little sharpening in the eyes. If that looks a little bit too much, again let's take the Opacity down see if we can soften that up a little about 55% and that looks really good.
No matter how you might like a certain look if it makes the restoration process twice as hard as it could be it may not be worth it. That's always your call of course, but if you have a photo to restore with a heavy paper texture that's cramping your restoration style this maybe a good softening technique to try.

Villa Doria Pamphili
This 17th century villa stakes claim in the largest landscaped public park in Rome. Situated just outside Porta San Pancrazio, it was known as Bel Respiro, or "beautiful breath," for its panoramic views of the city. The villa contained a casino, which housed a collection of Roman sculptures and antiquities such as vases, sarcophagi, and inscriptions. Today the propery is surrounded by lush gardens, clipped hedges, fountains, waterfalls, and statues, making it a favorite spot for running or a leisurely stroll. The large park also includes arches of an ancient aqueduct.

November 23, 2013 11:02 PM PST
You may be surprised as to what the Torah literally translates to "her time" that is rendered differently in the English. Are are continuing on in the Garden of Peace from Rabbi Shalom Arush's book. In this episode we discuss what your wife is attracted to and how she looks at conjugal relations from a spiritual sense. This episode may be uncomfortable for many if so Christopher suggests reverting to another episode. Refuting the Anti-Missionaries Using Our Faith Of JudaismNovember 19, 2013 01:28 PM PST
Christopher refutes the claims of the Anti-Missionaries, that Yeshua is not the Messiah by bringing out the texts of the Baal Shem Tov, R. Bachya, R. Loel, The Maharal, The Talmuds, The Zohar and orthodox concepts. This episode also serves to correct the body of Messiah in terms of their approach. Given that Christopher was trained in a much different way than many in the Hebrew Roots it is promised that you have not heard a teaching like this in proving the Messiah-ship of Yeshua. Christopher uses the writings of the Maharal and 3, which is also indicated in the sefiros and 3 time periods in the Talmud. Christopher shows how in Deuteronomy 17 we are bound to the interpretations of the Rabbis before the destruction of the second temple, Yeshua also makes note of this in Matthew 23, how we are bound to the interpretations and the rulings of the Rabbis and Sages in the Mishna and how Orthodox Judaism is breaking that very concept they hold tightly to in terms of the unanimous decision by the Rabbis in terms of Isaiah 53. Yet the second interpretation by later Rabbis, Christopher also shows how their "Israel interpretation" is again proving the Messiahship of Yeshua.
The Two Witnesses Revealed!!!
November 19, 2013 12:34 PM PST
Christopher discusses in this short video that the two witnesses may not be a "who" but rather a "what" when we look at it on the Drosh and Sod level and the original languages of the Hebrew of the Tanach and the Aramaic of Revelation. The finding may shock you. Chayei Sarah חַיֵּי שָׂרָה

Could someone tell me what it means to "block with vigor". After many years of knitting I've never run into this term. Also, can you block acrylic yarn? There seems to be pros and cons on whether or not you can. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
"Block with vigor" - to me,the expression conjured up a picture of two women stretching a garment between them, grunting with the effort... No, I have never heard that expression either - which pattern used it? As for the blocking of acrylics, you are right, there are varying opinions on that matter. I can only give you mine: Most acrylic yarns are 'killed' if you block them as you would wool. A hot steam block will make acrylic yarns go limp, flat and flaccid in the hand. On the other hand, wetting the knitted acrylic product and pinning/stretching it while it dries seems to have some merit. Of course some acrylic yarns are advertised as having 'memory' - probably nothing you can do with them will change their original knitted shape. I knitted some two-color mittens using a good acrylic yarn and was bothered by some unevenness in the finished product. I ended up actually ironing the mittens, with the iron on low heat and using a dry pressing cloth over the mittens. Excellent results! Experiment with a small swatch. Anne B |
Thanks for your reply. My friend sent me a pattern for a shawl she made and said she had "blocked with vigor". I thought this was something new. I'm trying to knit Caryl's kerchief and am going crazy. What with the yarn overs, ssk's and k2tog I've had to frog back to the beginning so many times. Life line time for me. That was a new term for me. I thought blocking with vigor was something else that was used now. I will experiment with a swatch. Peggie |
I've never heard the term either, but I'm guessing it means either curling edges or getting the right shape required lots of blocking. Sounds very British! :) Donna |

How to Defer or Discharge Student Loan Debt
Under special circumstances, you can receive a deferment on the repayment of your federal student loans. You may even get your entire student loan debt forgiven (or to use the technical term, discharged) in certain circumstances.
To be eligible for deferment, your loan can't be in default. If it is, you have to get back on a satisfactory payment program and keep making payments until you receive approval for deferment.
Here's how you might be able to get a deferment or discharge of your student loan debt:
Deferring a Stafford Loan: In some cases, if you're unable to find full-time employment after you graduate or if you experience severe economic hardship, or in one of the following specific circumstances:
You become a full-time elementary or secondary teacher for five consecutive years in an area that serves low-income families.
Your school closes before you can complete your program.
Your school doesn't pay out your loan amount.
You file for bankruptcy and the bankruptcy court decides that your student loan needs to be discharged.
You die or become permanently disabled, making work impossible.
Putting off Perkins payments: You automatically get a nine-month grace period with a Perkins Loan, but you may be able to postpone repayment even longer if
You're unable to find work on a full-time basis.
You encounter severe economic hardship.
You become a community service worker in such professions as law enforcement, corrections, or teaching in designated low-income areas.
Cancelling your Perkins loan: Situations that may qualify for a cancellation of your Perkins Loan include
Becoming a full-time special education teacher or a teacher of children with diagnosed learning disabilities.
Performing early intervention services for the elderly on a full-time, professional basis.
Serving as a full-time law enforcement or corrections officer.
Becoming a full-time staff member in the education division of a Head Start Program.
Up to 70 percent of your Perkins Loan can be forgiven if you enlist in the AmeriCorps VISTA Program or become a Peace Corps volunteer.

Certain higher-risk investments are often restricted to accredited investors.
Investing GlossaryalphaA risk-adjusted measure of performance. Alpha measures the portion of an investment's return attributable to the security's inherent values (for example, earnings growth) rather than to overall market movements.
Investing GlossaryarbitrageA trading technique that takes advantage of price discrepancies when the same security, currency, or commodity is traded on different markets.
Investing Glossaryat the moneyA condition that is met when an option's strike price is the same as the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is also $125, then the option is at the money.

In stocks, you are short a stock if you have sold it and borrowed the shares from a broker to deliver to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed shares at a future date. Being short means that you're bearish, or negative on the market, and that your goal is to make money when the security or commodity that you choose to short falls in price.

Investing GlossaryderivativeA financial instrument whose value is based on the value of another asset or index.

The option's value changes in relation to the price of the stock.
Investing GlossaryDesignated Order Turnaround system; SuperDOTAn electronic order-routing system used by NYSE member firms to send market and limit orders directly to the specialist at the exchange who trades that particular security.
Investing GlossarydividendMoney paid out by a company to the owner of its stock. An income stock is a stock that has a regularly paid, higher-than-average dividend.

Investing GlossaryFinancial Industry Regulatory Authority; FINRAThe largest non-governmental regulatory organization responsible for overseeing all securities firms that do business in the United States. Responsibilities include professional training, testing and licensing of registered representatives, and arbitration and mediation.
Investing Glossaryforeign currency trading; forexSpeculation on the value of one currency versus another, in which you buy one country's currency—just as you'd buy a stock or other security—in the hope that it will appreciate relative to the value of another currency.
Investing GlossaryfuturesContracts where you agree to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, currency, or other asset at a specified price on a specified future date. Unlike an option, a futures contract creates an obligation, rather than just a right, to buy and sell the underlying security.
Investing Glossarygoing longWhen you own a security or other asset, you are said to be long that security. When you go long (that is, buy) a security, you're bullish, or positive on the market, and you expect the price of that security to go up.
Investing GlossaryGovernment-Sponsored Enterprise; GSEPrivately held corporations created by Congress to work for the common good—generally to facilitate borrowing for homeowners, farmers, and other specific groups. Examples of GSEs include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Farm Credit Bank.
Investing Glossaryhead-and-shoulders patternA chart formation in a graph of an asset price that resembles three mountaintops in a row, with the middle mountaintop being taller than the other two. The pattern indicates a trend reversal, meaning that prices are expected to fall.
Investing GlossaryhedgeAn investment strategy that allows you to reduce the risk of an unfavorable price change in a security or commodity. For example, a stockholder of ABC Company who is worried about declining stock prices can offset that risk by buying a put option on ABC, allowing him to sell his shares in the future at today's price.
Investing Glossaryilliquid securitiesInvestments that don't trade very actively and are difficult to sell on short notice.
Investing Glossaryimplied volatilityA theoretical value representing the volatility of the security underlying an option. Implied volatility is used by the Black-Scholes model, among others, to calculate the price of an option. Implied volatility usually rises when the markets are in downtrends, and falls when the markets are in uptrends.
Investing Glossaryin the moneyA condition that is met when a call option's strike price is below the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is $120, then the option is in the money. For a put option, the strike price must be above the current market price of the stock for the option to be in the money.
Investing Glossaryindex fundA mutual fund designed to mirror the performance of a specific market index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500. Expenses of index funds tend to be lower than other mutual funds because the manager is not actively researching, buying, and selling securities.
Investing GlossaryIndividual Retirement Account; IRAA type of individual retirement savings plan. There are several types of IRAs, including, among others, Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Traditional IRAs are tax-deferred accounts that currently allow individuals to contribute up to $5,000 per year. Contributions to a Traditional IRA may be tax deductible, depending upon several factors. You don't pay taxes on the income and gains you generate in a Traditional IRA until you make withdrawals; all withdrawals will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate. Roth IRAs are subject to different tax treatment.
Investing GlossaryleverageThe degree to which an investor or business is utilizing borrowed money. For investors, leverage is a means of multiplying the return on an investment by borrowing money to purchase additional securities or other assets. Buying securities on margin is an example. If you have $1,000 of cash and borrow another $1,000 from your brokerage, you could then purchase $2,000 of stock. If the value of the purchased stock increases by 10 percent ($200), then you have realized a 20 percent gain ($200/$1,000) on your actual cash investment.
Investing Glossarymarket capitalization; market cap; capThe value of a company as measured by the total number of stock shares outstanding times the market price of each share. For example, if company ABC has 20 million shares outstanding, and each share is currently worth $100, then the market cap for ABC is $2 billion. In general, stocks are classified as large cap (over $5 billion), small cap (under $1 billion), or mid cap (anything in between).
Investing Glossarymarket-value weighted indexA stock index where the effect of each stock on the index is in proportion to its market value.
Investing GlossarymegatrendA major ongoing development that is expected to have significant implications for most (if not all) facets of society over an extended period of time. The aging of the American population is an example.
Investing GlossarymomentumThe perceived strength behind a price or volume movement in a security based on the rate of acceleration of that movement.
Investing Glossarymoving averageIn technical analysis, a chart line that shows the average of a security's price over a specified period of time, recalculated for each new data point. For example, a 30-day moving average will include yesterday's price and those for the previous 29 days. Tomorrow's moving average will include today's price but will drop the price for the earliest date in yesterday's average. The moving average is used to spot pricing trends by flattening out large fluctuations.
Investing Glossarymunicipal bond; muniA bond issued by a local or state government or agency. Munis generally raise money for public projects such as hospitals, roads, bridges, and sewer systems as well as general governmental operations. When you buy a muni, the interest is usually exempt from federal income tax.
Investing Glossarymutual fundA fund operated by an investment company that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a group of assets in accordance with one or more stated objectives, such as income, growth, aggressive growth, and so on. A mutual fund may generally invest in stocks, bonds, options, futures, currencies, and money market securities in accordance with its stated parameters. All shareholders share equally in the income, gains, and losses generated by the fund.
Investing Glossarynaked callA call option written by an investor who does not already own the underlying shares. If you write a naked call and the option is exercised by the holder, then you would have to buy the stock at the market price to meet your obligation. Naked calls are very risky, though potentially very rewarding.
Investing GlossaryNational Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system; NasdaqAn electronic stock exchange established by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). The Nasdaq lists over 3,200 companies and is the largest equity securities trading market in the U.S.
Investing Glossaryopen outcry systemA system where traders on a trading floor or in a trading pit shout and use hand signals to make transactions or trades with each other.
Investing GlossaryoptionA derivative security that gives the holder a contractual right to buy or sell a set amount of a stock, commodity, or other asset at a specified price on or before the option's expiration date. An option is purchased for a fee, called a premium.
Investing Glossaryoption buyer; holderA person who is buying options. Call option holders have the right to buy a stipulated quantity of the underlying asset specified in the contract at a specified strike price. Put option holders have the right to sell the specified amount at the strike price.
Investing Glossaryout of the moneyA condition that is met when a call option's strike price is above the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $120 and the option's strike price is $125, then the option is out of the money. For a put option, if the strike price is below the current market price of the stock, then the option is out of the money.

So far, this is my favourite primer. I only wear this and powder and I'm happy with the results. It feels very, very soft and I only use it on my T-zone because the rest of my skin doesn't get shiny. My skin is not oily but I can't stand shine and this lasts until lunch time before I feel like a touch up. Though it's not completely required and sometimes I don't bother. I don't usually comment on packaging but this one deserves an exception. It looks gorgeous and the pump lets you only get as much or as little as you need. I think I won't be able to get all the product out once the bottle is nearly finished though. I'm still wanting to try other primers just in case there's a better one but I've already bought another bottle of this to make sure I don't run out.

This stuff is too thick and makes me look cakey. i prefer a thinner lotion primer. estee lauder matt primer is the best on this one guys
Love this primer. It's very silky and it smoothes out and diminishes the pores. The only negative is the high price and the fact that whereas the Lancome foundation lasts forever this one disappears at a worrying speed from the bottle.

I've been using this for a few weeks now and don't understand why there are negative reviews! this primer leaves my skin feeling flawless after applying foundation & concealer and helps makeup last all day. It helps to even out skin/pores but it doesn't help my oily t-zone, although doesn't make it worse either. It's oil free and feels silky smooth when you put it on. If you're not sure about spending that much, go and try a sample or ask them to put on your hand/face. Great item

I was hesitant at first to purchase a primer for $40, but wanted to try a more silicone textured one and this fit the bill! It really smoothed my face and hid the appearance of my pores. Unfortunately, I don't know if I was using too much or what, but I went through this super fast. Probably won't repurchase due to the price, but it works great!

I was not planning to buy yet another primer, but when the girl used this on me it had such a nice feeling and made the foundation look very natural that I had to buy it. I have about 4 different printers in my makeup bag but they are all creamy, This is silicone based and feels silky on your hand - not oily.
UPDATE: After using this product for a while I find that even a tiny little bit goes a long way, but by the end of the day it makes my T zone area shiny. Change of heart. :(

I absolutely detest this primer. I got a 7mL sample of this from a Lancome counter and I have used it about 8 times now and have nothing positive to say about it. It is super thin, feels ultra greasy, dried my skin right out, takes away from the wear time of my foundation, the full size is bloody expensive, it breaks me out. I think this is definitely one of the worst primers I have used and I have used a lot. If you're looking for a good primer, Smashbox Photofinish Light is much better.
I got a teensy sample tube of this primer from the nice lady working behind the counter, and I must say, it was quite a lovely primer! I was looking for a really good HG primer and I think this may be the one.
My skin is a combination of regular with an oily t-zone, and although the small tube has lasted me a long while (with off and on usage- same days I do use, some I don't); it has kept my makeup in place on the hottest of days for hours on end and enhances the use of my foundation/bb cream. I have yet to break out from this product and I find it very useful in application of concealer around my under eye area.
It goes on pretty thick- almost a serum consistency and it does leave a slippery silicone feel to it which helps the makeup application. I recently just finished off the last of my little sample tube and I think I may have to indulge in the actual size product. I believe at The Bay, it retails ~$40 for 30mL? (I'll have to double check). I am a proud consumer of Lancome beauty products and they have yet to displease me.
I lucked out not using too many primers and wasting too much money before I found La Base. I have normal skin (with breakouts every now and then) and a very dry t-zone. I have not ever once broken out from this - and for those of you who have, I suggest putting on a good moisturizer first. This is not a product used for hydration/acne/etc. This is really just a primer and I only use it as such.
I love that although it feels thick in my hands, but it smooths out on skin evenly. I actually use a sponge to apply it (I'm not sure why I love this method - it's probably wrong but it works for me). Some people prefer a pearled finish to their primer - but that normally leaves me looking greasy so I do like that this is clear.
A primer, to me, is the base of a mask. I want it to help set the foundation for my skin, leaving it smooth and ready for my war paint. Lancome is the only primer so far that does this without costing a million dollars (the bottle will last!) and giving me the result I needed.

Updated: August 26, 2014 6:49AM
The brother of a Crestwood man who died of cancer last year has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the village, claiming that hazardous chemicals in the village's drinking water supply caused the illness.
Michael Wakeham filed the suit Thursday in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of his brother, Robert Wakeham, who died a year ago. It names the village, former mayors Chester and Robert Stranczek and Burke Engineering as defendants.
The suit says Robert Wakeham regularly used water provided by the village for drinking, bathing and cooking. State regulators notified the village in 1985 that it must stop using a well for some of its water supply because it was contaminated with carcinogens, according to the suit.
Despite knowing about the contaminated well, the village continued for about 22 years to use some of the well water with the Lake Michigan water that made up most of the water supply, without notifying residents about the risks, the suit says.
It also contends that Chester Stanczek, who was mayor from 1969 until 2007, and his son Robert, the mayor from 2007 to 2014, had a responsibility to inform residents about the polluted well water and failed to do so.
Burke Engineering, Crestwood's engineering firm, notified the village sometime before November 2007 that "its water system suffered from substantial leaks and that (the village) would endure a great amount of cost to repair said leaks," the suit says. It alleges that Burke also advised village officials on ways to conceal that the well water was contaminated.
Mayor Louis Presta said Thursday night that the village had not yet been notified about the suit and he could not comment. A representative for Burke Engineering could not be reached for comment Thursday night.

I had never even heard of The Devil's Double until its wonderfully absurd poster premiered on Tuesday, and that was more than enough to make me curious. Thankfully, a trailer has just shown up at Yahoo!, and it does a good job of fulfilling my desire to know more about the film.
I found myself with a big grin on my face from the very beginning, and it stayed there until after it had ended. This thing just looks ridiculous, but in the best way possible. You have Dominic Cooper playing Uday (son of Saddam) Hussein, as well as his double (because why not!), and they seem to be taking a more cartoonish approach to a dark figure. Dan Mecca's review from Sundance makes it seem like it could fall in line with what's set up here, and I'm actually pretty excited. Seriously, any piece of marketing that uses "Personal Faith" by Depeche Mode is something that I can't take seriously, and the trailer is all the better for using it.
Watch it below:
Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate's THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Bagdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein's palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the "royal family" when he's ordered to become the 'fiday' – or body double – to Saddam's son, the notorious "Black Prince" Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality. With his and his family's lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday. But nothing could have prepared him for the horror of the Black Prince's psychotic, drug-addled life of fast cars, easy women and impulsive violence. With one wrong move costing him his life, Latif forges an intimate bond with Sarrab (Ludivine Sangier), Uday's seductive mistress who's haunted by her own secrets. But as war looms with Kuwait and Uday's depraved gangster regime threatens to destroy them all, Latif realizes that escape from the devil's den will only come at the highest possible cost.
Featuring a riveting double performance by Dominic Cooper (AN EDUCATION, MAMA MIA) in the roles of Latif Yahia and Uday Hussein, THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE is a dynamic, chilling adaptation of Latif Yahia's autobiographical novel, charting one man's defiant struggle to survive a viper's pit of corruption and brutality. The film is directed by Lee Tamahori (DIE ANOTHER DAY, XXX: STATE OF THE UNION) and written by Michael Thomas (BACKBEAT, SCANDAL).
The Devil's Double opens on July 29th, 2011.

LMH board to act on Tonganoxie clinic
The Lawrence Memorial Hospital's board of directors this morning will decide whether to establish a clinic in Tonganoxie.
The board is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. at the hospital, 325 Maine, Lawrence.
For more than two years, the hospital has been studying whether to open a clinic in Tonganoxie. LMH is looking at purchasing a tract of land near U.S. Highway 24-40 and Laming Road, just west of First State Bank and Trust. There, the hospital hopes to construct a 2,500-square-foot medical office building.
If the board approves the land purchase, LMH must recruit a family practice physician, as well as determine whether to own or lease the building, according to Gene Meyer, the hospital's president and CEO.
First State Bank and Trust currently owns the land the hospital is eyeing.
If the board agrees, Meyer said he would begin searching for a new physician for Tonganoxie from the graduating residents in 2003. If land were acquired soon, he said, it's possible the building could be ready late next summer.
In a memo to board members, Meyer said three physicians interested in the Tonganoxie market have contacted the hospital. Two of them would be available in summer 2003, while the third would be available in 2005. Meyer said the building could support a second physician in the future, depending how the clinic is received locally. The city currently is served by two physicians.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - California's top education official is expected to unveil a new system of student achievement testing on Tuesday.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson was tasked by the state Legislature last year to revamp the state's bank of standardized tests that measure student progress in English language arts and math and qualify high school students for graduation.
The proposed new testing comes as the state starts phasing in new national curriculum standards known as Common Core State Standards. The emphasis of the new testing will be on critical thinking and problem solving skills that will be aligned with Common Core's focus.
The proposal is the result of six months of meetings by a statewide taskforce that has held meetings around California gathering input from educators.
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO -- California ReLeaf announced today the release of a statewide Arbor Week poster contest for students in third to fifth grades. Students are asked to create original artwork based on the theme "Trees Are Worth It". Submissions are due to California ReLeaf by February 1, 2011.

It's a vase, right? Is it heavy - have some weight to it? I suspect it is majolica, possibly an American version of the very fine figurals (including stork vases) made by Minton, Wedgewood, Holdcroft, and George Jones. American potters made copies of what they knew from the Old Country and created an affordable product for the American market. Much of the American majolica is unmarked or might have a blotch of glaze or something stylized by the "artist"; glazes a little less jewel-like and more mottled and just basically quirky - the craftspeople were a little less skilled and tended not to live long lives having to deal with the lead based base coat and metal oxide glazes. Two of the most recognized American names are Griffin, Smith and Hill (pieces marked Etruscan) and Chesapeake Pottery. There's a lot of info on majolica on the internet. There are also lots of reproductions and fakes - many of them very good. |

Red Ants Pants Festival
The Red Ants Pants Festival near White Sulphur Springs has grown quickly over four years to become one of the top outdoor music events in Montana.

Can't really tell from the pic but I don't think so. Looks more like a potato beetle. Dennis |
Looks more like small crab spider, to me. Any chance of another picture? By the way, please include your general location when you have an identification question. |
I just looked at the pic again, and this time it does look like a tick. But a better picture is required to be sure. Next time can you knock it onto a piece of paper before photographing? |
Yes, it is definitely a tick. |
I vote crab spider. |

yikes. My daughter had a tick behind her ear. Freakin creepiest thing ever, and hell to get off. Poor baby. Plus I'm an arachnophobe so that didn't help... wonder how I love crab so much really. |
