To obtain a fuller picture of the efficacy of reading instruction programs for adult literacy learners, gains by individual students were examined in a sample (n = 148) in which weak to moderate gains at the group level had been obtained in response to tutoring interventions that focused on strengthening basic decoding and fluency skills of low literate adults (Sabatini, Shore, Holtzman, & Scarborough, 2011). Learners were randomly assigned to receive one of three tutoring programs for an average of 44 h of instruction. We used within-individual gains replicated over tests (WIGROT) as the method for identifying gainers, who were defined as students whose reading levels increased from pretest to posttest by a half year or more on at least two of four measured aspects of reading proficiency. The 46 % of the sample who met the criterion had higher pretest scores than non-gainers on measures of reading (d = .42, p < .01) and phonological awareness (d = .47, p < .01), and included fewer adults with a history of special education (43 vs. 61 %, phi = .19, p < .05), regardless of which instructional condition had been received. The findings suggest that basic skills instruction can lead to a meaningful degree of benefit for many adult learners who persist in reading programs for several months. Supplementing group level results with analyses of individual growth, such as WIGROT, appears to be useful in evaluating the efficacy of literacy interventions.

Mount Hood [ Base Camp ] [ The Hikes ] [ Summary ] [ Peak List ] [ Other Links ]
Base Camp Up
Mount Hood is Oregon's tallest mountain standing at 11,239'. It is located approximately 50 miles east southeast of Portland, and is arguably considered the second most climbed glaciated peak in the world next to Mount Fuji. The primary climbing season is April through June with the class 3+ south side route being the most utilized. I would consider this a grade II climb with moderate snow steepness. Many novice climbers use this mountain as a training ground to gain experience and prepare for more difficult climbs such as Mount Jefferson and Mount Rainier. With that being said, Mount Hood is still a serious mountain as evidenced by the May 31, 2002 disaster that killed three climbers and injured several others after they fell into a crevasse.
I actually spent a portion of this past Spring trying to organize a backpacking trip to Wyoming; however, things didn't work out and by the middle of May I was back at square one. Scrambling to find a trip to go on, I contacted Dan Robbins regarding Mount Hood and asked if I could join him on his climb. After exchanging two or three emails, we had two climbs planned and were set to attempt Mount Hood. Our first outing took us to the Lost River Range to summit an Idaho 12er and become more familiar with using crampons on steep terrain. The trip went well as we felt comfortable climbing with each other and tagged the top of Lost River Peak. As a result of our personalities not clashing, our newfound experience on snow, and the overall success of the climb, we decided to continue with our plans for Mount Hood.
Dan picked me up on the way out of town on Friday morning and we stuffed his car to the gills with more gear than you could shake a stick at. The drive went surprisingly fast as we spent most of the time talking about mountains. We picked up a few last minute groceries in Hood River before heading south on Highway 35 for our first obscure views of the mountain. The summit was covered with clouds and the sky was overcast. The temperature was definitely dropping and by the time we reached the Timberline Lodge our shorts and sandals were not appropriate attire. In order to enhance our climbing skills and knowledge, we decided to take a basic mountaineering course offered by Timberline Mountain Guides. So we checked out the lodge, which is located at the base of the mountain, made sure we knew where to be in the morning, and went back down to find a camp ground.
We found Steel Creek Campground right at the entrance of the road that takes you up to the lodge which was only six miles away. We spent the evening hanging out and preparing for our class the next day.
We met for the class at 9:00 on Saturday morning and were playing in the snow by 11:00. Although Dan and I were pretty much prepared shortly after we arrived, it took a while for our classmates to acquire the appropriate gear and get organized. The course covered topics such as learning how to walk on snow, how to use an ice axe, self arresting, and rope travel. Also throughout the day, we snacked and hydrated as much as possible. Even though we didn't utilize Timberline Guides to assist us to the summit, the instructors were helpful outside of the class by answering all of our questions and giving us a few tips to help prepare for the next day. The conditions were forecasted to be excellent with clear skies and cool temperatures.
After entertaining the idea of knocking out a couple of thousand feet and setting up a high camp, we decided to simply hike the entire trip in one shot. We had good luck finding an eating establishment after class and ate the "Mount Hood" omelet at the Huckleberry Restaurant in Government Camp. After this, it was back to Steel Creek Campground to organize our packs, prepare for the climb, and try and rest. Sleep didn't come easy, and the shut eye we did get was fitful at best. The fact that it was still the early evening and we were anxious for the challenge of Mount Hood made it difficult to sleep.
Dan woke me shortly after 11:30 to a starry sky and clear conditions. After we put on our plastic boots and clothes, we headed back up to the lodge to begin our journey. It is possible to purchase a snowcat ride to the top of the ski area which eliminates two miles and 2,500' of elevation gain, but we started from the bottom at 6,000'. We dropped off a form at the climber's registry and started up the mountain shortly after midnight. Because of the full moon, we weren't required to turn our headlamps on during the entire time on the mountain.
I began with a base layer on the top and bottom, shell pants, a technical fleece top, and fleece gloves and hat. Although I donned my shell jacket when we stopped for breaks, this is basically what I climbed in until right before the Hogsback. (The Hogsback is a narrow ridge of snow that connects Crater Rock with The Chute that exists between the Pearly Gates. The Pearly Gates are two towers of rock that create The Chute that leads to the summit.) At that point, the shell went on to cut the wind and stayed on until we were back down below the Hogsback. It was key for me to keep an even pace to avoid overheating and then cooling too much when we stopped.
Dan on the other hand wore his base layer, insulating layer, and shell layer after our first break. I couldn't figure this out at first, but after giving it some thought, the fact that his only head covering was a climbing helmet was probably the difference. Because a lot of heat is lost through the head, he may have required more clothing since he wasn't wearing a fleece hat like I did. Either way, we both found what worked for us individually. The right clothing and speed, along with forcing each other to eat and hydrate regularly, allowed us to remain strong and comfortable throughout the day.
Anyway, although the initial section of the climb was rather routine, it allowed us to enjoy the moonlit views of Hood and get into a steady pace. The first half of the hike follows the eastern boundary of the Mount Hood ski area to the top of the ski runs. It was at this point that we saw our classmates cruising up the slopes in the snowcat. They departed from the lodge at 2:00 and sprang out of the snowcat fresh and ready to go. We were now at 8,540' and stopped again shortly to strap on the crampons.
The next section of the hike became somewhat steeper but didn't require much in terms of concentration. We simply made our way up the hard packed snow. After passing our classmates while they were on their first break, we motored up to the base of Crater Rock and took a short break. The smell from the Devil's Kitchen was strong and made Dan feel nauseous. I also felt slightly sick, but that was mostly from my body not wanting to eat nasty tasting energy bars in the middle of the night. The thing that really saved me and allowed me to maintain my blood sugar levels was the Power Bar Power Gel and GU Energy Gel. If it wasn't for all the carbs packed into this small easily digested food, I may have had a much more difficult time.
We passed between Crater Rock and the Steel Cliffs and began to traverse our way over to the Hogsback. As I said earlier, this is when I put on my shell jacket along with my climbing helmet. I also put my trekking poles up and started using my ice axe. It wasn't long before we were on top of the Hogsback looking at the crux of the climb. We debated for five minutes about roping up before I finally suggested we free climb it and fall in behind a rope team of four that was getting ready to depart. Dan agreed and off we went. Several times on the way up we were stalled by the rope team ahead of us as I followed behind their end climber.
The snow was extremely hard and there was a well defined path all the way up to the bergshrund. The bergshrund is a large crevasse or crack in the ice where the glacier is pulling away from the mountain. The trail then led across a snow bridge to the left of the bergshrund, and then switch backed to the right above the large crevasse. The climbing became steeper at this point and although I was actually ok going up, I became concerned about how we were going to descend it. Dan asked how I was doing, and I admittedly said I was a bit on edge. He felt as though we were doing great and wouldn't have any problems. This reassured me and we pushed on.
Well, Dan was right, about 5 minutes later we were on top of Oregon enjoying the views. It took us 6 hours to go the 4 miles and 5,300' to get to the top. The summit was a bit windy and cold, especially on your hands if you took your gloves off. We snapped some photos, relished our accomplishment, and started to make our way back down 20 minutes later.
The Chute between the Pearly Gates and the area above the bergshrund were much easier to down climb than I anticipated. We simply used the frozen plunge steps of previous climbers that provided very secure footing. Before we knew it, we found ourselves back on the Hogsback. I had already drunk all three quarts of water that I packed along, but wasn't concerned as it was all downhill from here. We decided to call our dads and wish them a happy Father's Day and also say hello to our wives. The rest of the descent was uneventful with the exception of some glissading.
I was certainly tired when we were done, but given the fact that I had a relatively heavy pack on and wore plastic climbing boots with crampons all day, I actually felt pretty good when we finished. I probably would have felt even better if I didn't have to double as Dan's Sherpa. Between carrying the rope, retrieving his water bottles, and getting his camera, I didn't think I was ever going to get a break. However, I would have drawn the line if he had asked me to hold his blue bag for him while he relieved himself.
We drove back to Boise on Sunday afternoon and were in town by 7:30. Neither of us was able to get to bed very early, so with the exception of the 2+ (?) hour nap on Saturday night, it was pretty much a sleep free weekend. Nevertheless, we were back at work on Monday morning only 25 short hours after summitting Mount Hood.
It may seem like a bit of overkill to discuss things such as clothing layers, hydration, climbing pace, and team support when it is "only Mount Hood", but the fact that we did all of these small things and paid attention to the details contributed to a successful climb with calculated risks and plenty of energy in reserve.

It is not permissible for a Muslim to eat things that the Jews and Christians make on their festivals, or what they give him as a gift on their festivals, because that is cooperating with them and joining in with them in this evil, as is explained in question no. 12666.
It is not permissible for him to congratulate them on their festivals in any way whatsoever, because that implies approval of their festival and not denouncing them, and helping them to manifest their symbols and propagate their innovation, and sharing their happiness during their festivals, which are innovated festivals that are connected to false beliefs that are not approved of in Islam.

Returning Formula One engine supplier Cosworths first batch of V8s, destined for use by their five customer teams in pre-season testing, was completed ahead of schedule before Christmas and is now ready to be shipped. Williams and the four new squads joining the grid - Campos Meta, Lotus, the US team and Virgin - will all use Cosworth power 2010.
The first batch of CA2010 units is boxed and ready for our customers to press ahead with installation, fire-up and initial testing, confirmed Cosworths F1 manager, Mark Gallagher. Were looking forward to seeing them all on track next month since there is still a lot of work to do before the season starts.
After the very busy summer and autumn months when we were putting our programme together it has been very rewarding to see the first engines ready for action thanks to the hard work of everyone here at Cosworth and our suppliers.
The Northampton-based engine manufacturer powered both Williams and Toro Rosso in 2006 before departing the sport. Their return will see them supply engines to all five of their customer teams over the next three seasons, from 2010 to 2012.

Apple iOS 6 Review
- Category: Software
- Review Date: 09/20/2012
- Bottom line: Apple iOS 6, Cupertino's latest mobile operating system, offers slick new maps, Passbook, and numerous tweaks and additions. If you own a compatible iOS device, there's simply no questioning whether to upgrade.
- Pros: No Mac or PC required for setup. iCloud backup and recovery. Facebook and Twitter integration. Stable.
- Cons: Using Mail and Notes with iCloud requires creating an @me.com account. Only a few cities are given the Flyover treatment in updated Maps app. Not all compatible hardware can access all iOS 6 features.
iOS 5 was a significant upgrade to Apple's mobile operating system that added numerous long sought-after features, such as computer-free setup, wireless syncing, and a fresh take on notifications that took inspiration from its Android competition. iOS 6 (free) isn't as game-changing, but it adds numerous features (such as a new Passbook app, a revamped Maps app, and new accessibility options) that make it a must-have download if you own a compatible device: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (4th Generation), iPad 2, and new iPad (3rd Generation)
iOS 6 Set Up and iTunes Wi-Fi Sync
If iOS 5.1 is already installed on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, you can update to iOS 6 either over-the-air or via iTunes. If you have a new device, there are three set up options: "Set Up as New," "Restore from iCloud Backup," and "Restore from iTunes Backup." The first option is for people who are brand new to iOS (or existing users who want a fresh start); the other two options recover previously backed up data and are what existing iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch owners will likely choose.
Once you're set up, you can enable iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, which syncs apps, music, photos, and other files between an iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (via iTunes) when they're connected to the same wireless signal. In fact, the sync happens automatically when you plug an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's plug into a socket (you can also sync manually without a plug by pressing Sync Now in Settings > General > iTune Wi-Fi Sync). The process went off without a hitch for me. I synced nearly 15GB of data to my iPad in less than 20 minutes. The only downside is that you must first set up wireless syncing in iTunes—after you physically connect your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to a Mac or PC via a USB cable. Thankfully, it's just a one-time connection. You can go completely wireless afterward.
Home Screen and Maps
The default home screen features a blue background image with ripple effects and several icons (App Store, Clock, iTunes, Notes, etc.) that should be familiar to iOS users. There is, however, a new app icon that may look similar to the old one, but what's inside is actually quite different: Maps. It's one of the iOS 6 features that garnered the most buzz when it was announced at WWDC a few months back. Maps is Apple's in-house replacement for Google Maps, which was included in iOS up until this version (both Maps and YouTube were kicked off the home screen).
Maps, at first glance, looks very similar to Google Maps but with subtle differences: restaurants, dinners, coffee shops, and other places of interest are highlighted with more eye-catching icons which, when tapped, open reviews and information supplied by Yelp. Both Google Maps and Apple's new Maps app displayed eateries within Madison Square Park, but Apple somehow missed a NYC hotspot: Shake Shack.
Like Google Maps, Apple's Map offers turn-by-turn directions (with or without voice). It also includes 3D functionality, dubbed "Flyover," that renders a real-life recreation of the city you select. Flyover looks great from a distance, but when I zoomed in close, I noticed some jagged polygonal figures and rough textures. Still, if you want to check out a city without leaving the sofa, this is a fine option. The one drawback? Only a handful of cities—all metropolitan areas—have received the Flyover treatment, including Chicago, San Francisco, and Sydney.
But in practice, Apple's Maps don't work as expected, if your expectations are built on Google Maps, which is to say, not very well. As PCMag's GPS expert wrote, "it's a 1.0 app in a 6.0 OS" (click the link for a more thorough breakdowns of Maps).
Passbook and Phone Features
Passbook is an iPhone and iPod touch-exclusive app—at least for now—that is supposed to be a tidy hub for passes and tickets. At launch, however, it wasn't working, throwing repeated errors about not being able to reach the Apple App Store.
But here's how it's supposed to work. Instead of handing over a paper ticket, coupon, boarding pass, or gift card to be scanned, you'll simply whip put your device, which will display the appropriate item when you stroll into the appropriate store, theater, or airport. When you delete a pass, a very cool virtual paper shredder appears on screen and slices and dices the ticket. The success of this app, unlike the others mentioned in this story, will rely heavily on third-party support. Supports include American Airlines, Eventbrite, and Kony.
iOS 6 adds new calling options that give you more flexibility over how you handle incoming calls that you don't want to take. Instead of simply declining a call, you can now reply to it with a text message (either pre-fabricated or custom) or set a reminder to follow up with a particular person later. You can see the new options by swiping the screen upward when a call comes in. Apple also adds a Do Disturb Option that ensures you won't be bothered by anyone save for contacts you marks as exceptions during designated hours. Both options are useful additions.
Siri, iCloud, and Find Features
The one downside to the new set of apps is that Siri (Apple's voice control software that lets you send messages, place phone calls, and schedule appointments), is only available on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, new iPad, and new iPod touch. I used Siri to find local restaurants and grab sports scores (a new feature) by asking queries in simple, everyday language. I also updated by Facebook and Twitter feeds without ever touching the virtual keypad. The only challenge was remembering to speak out punctuation. It occasionally missed a few commands, but if you speak clearly you can perform numerous activities using just your voice. Siri currently recognizes several languages including English (American, Australian, British), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and more.
iCloud, which debuted in iOS 5.0, is Apple's Web-based storage and syncing service. It gives users a free 5GB to keep Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Bookmarks, Documents & Data, and Photo Stream (a feature that automatically uploads pictures to iCloud downloads them to all your iCloud-enabled devices) synced across multiple Apple devices, including Macs.
You can also access email, contacts, calendar, iWork, and Find My iPhone data from iCloud.com. Mail and Notes compatibility requires creating an @me.com account, which you can do from the iPad. As one would expect from Apple, the backup process happens inconspicuously behind the scenes, but you can view your backup status by visiting Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. My initial backup, which included 13.9GB of data, didn't happen because I didn't have enough iCloud space. Fortunately, you can increase iCloud's storage by an additional 10GB, 20GB, or 50GB for $20 per year, $40 per year, and $100 per year, respectively. After I added 10GB of storage, iCloud backed up my files without error. Note: When you activate iCloud, you deactivate the iPad's ability to automatically backup to iTunes.
FindMyiPhone and FindMyFriends are also part of the iOS 6 experience, as they were in iOS 5, but there are some features worth pointing out in case you missed them last time around. For example, through iCloud, you can access FindMyiPhone and enable the "Lost mode" to lock a missing device using your four-digit passcode. You can also push a message that will display on screen in case someone you know has found it.. FindMyFriends is the more social of the two features. With it, you see where other iOS users are on a map, should they wish to share their location information with you, and receive location-based alerts when they enter or exit areas—very handy if you have teenage children and want to keep tabs on them.
Notification Center and Photo Stream
One of the most sought-after iOS features that iOS 5 made manifest is a robust and intuitive Notification Center, which Android users have enjoyed for quite some time. The Notification Center lets you view your calendar, email, text messages or iMessages, friend requests, and other notifications from one central location. By default, notifications appear at the top of the screen ("Banner" style), but you can set them to appear in the middle of the screen ("Alert" style) in Settings.
In my tests, Notification Center worked flawlessly. New appointment alerts appeared at the top of the screen, and I could view them at any time by swiping down. Even if you're not actively using your iPad you can still receive notifications, as they appear on the locked screen. When a Google+ alert appeared on the locked screen, I simply swiped the alert from left to right to read the message. This revamp was much needed, and its implementation is solid.
Photo Streams have a more streamlined sharing mechanism in iOS 6. You simply select the photos you want to share, tap the Share button, select a contact, and you're done. It works well—a recipient received the image on his iPhone's Photos app seconds later. However, recipients who don't have iOS 6 installed on their devices must open a link to view the photos. Photos shared with you don't count against your iCloud storage capacity, thankfully.
Social Networking with Facebook
iOS 5 introduced Twitter integration throughout the operating system. After entering your credentials into the Twitter section of the Settings, you can tweet directly from a number of other applications, such as Photos, Safari, and YouTube by hitting the drop down option icon from within the respective app. It's super intuitive, and makes you wonder (in retrospect) how you've managed to clumsily tweet content in iOS 4 using only the Twitter or third-party apps.
Facebook is the new addition here and it works similarly to Twitter. In Settings, just enter your Facebook login credentials, and sharing to the social network becomes a baked-in feature of the operating system itself. Using it you can perform a simple status update, post links or photos to your wall, and add location information.
Camera, FaceTime, and Safari
As in iOS 5.1, a quick-access camera icon now lives on the locked screen when you double tap the home button for iPod touch, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S. Taking impromptu photos became much easier and faster with this addition. Now, iPad 2 and new iPad devices see the camera shutter shift from the bottom of the viewfinder to the right of the frame, making it easier to reach. The camera app also highlights any detected faces. As before, you can crop, rotate, enhance, and remove red-eye without leaving the Photos app. You can even organize your photos in albums on the phone. iCloud compatibility means that snapped photos can be pushed to other Apple devices.
FaceTime, Apple's video chat client, now lets users place face-to-face calls over cellular signals (previously, it was limited to Wi-Fi). FaceTime video quality suffered from stuttering and a slight audio delay when I tested it on an iPhone over 3G. You may want to stick with Wi-Fi, although you may see better cellular results with a new iPhone 5 on a 4G LTE signal.
Safari's tabbed browsing lets users keep multiple Web pages open within a browser at the same time. The "Reader" icon lives within the address bar. When tapped, it strips away ads and Web design, leaving behind just text and the in-body images. In fact, the pages look very much like streamlined pages you'd find in Flipboard (free, 4.5 stars) or Zite (free, 4.5 stars). Reading List lets you save interesting articles to read later in a drop-down menu that displays both all the saved articles and those that are unread. Unlike Instapaper, Reading List doesn't allow you to read articles when the iPad isn't connected to 3G or Wi-Fi.
Safari doesn't support Flash, which caused some stir when iOS devices first hit the market, but that's of little consequence now that sites like YouTube have HTML5 support. Even the Android OS, which supported Flash for years, dumped it and went Flash-less with 4.1 Jellybean.New here is iCloud Tabs, which displays links to Web pages that you have open on other Apple devices, including Macs. It's remarkably handy. I was able to continue reading a page on an iPad that I opened on an iPhone. Its iCloud base means that you can pick up and read even when the source device is shut off. If other people share one of your iOS devices, you may want to surf in Private Browsing mode.
Mail and Calendar
Mail received a makeover with iOS 5, which added features that let you bold, italicize, or underline words. iOS 6 adds VIP List, a filter that shows messages from very important people, the idea being you can always check that box and never have a message from someone important get buried in the email bulge. You add VIPs by, well, tapping "Add VIP," and selecting the contacts you'd like to include. You can also set up VIP alerts that appear in Notification Center.
Previously, editing Calendar events required tapping to create an event and keying in times. iOS 6's Calendar lets you use your finger to drag the event block from one time slot to another. It took a bit of acclimation, but I was soon dragging and dropping dates from one area to another. Calendar app users on an iPhone or iPad touch will see a scrolling week view of their calendar while iPad users will be able to scroll through a year view of their calendar. iCloud also syncs appointments across your Apple devices.
Game Center, Gestures, and AirPlay
Game Center has two features that are displayed when you launch the app. Your Public Profile can now be toggled on and off. With it on, your profile, including your real name will be visible to other players. Your Game Center nickname, however, is used on leaderboards. There's also Friends Recommendations that you can turn on and off that uploads your contacts so that you get personalized friend recommendations.
You use four or five fingers to swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps. In those moments when you're not swiping and you'd like to showcase a video, photo, or game on the big screen, you can mirror the image to a TV or monitor using AirPlay and Apple TV. In our tests, games played smoothly on the big screen but, unfortunately, AirPlay Mirroring is limited to iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2, new iPad (third-generation), and new iPod touch.
Time to Update to iOS 6
It's absolutely time to update to Apple iOS 6. This update adds enough new features that make the mobile operating system one of the best in the business. It's unfortunate that some features are limited to more recent hardware releases, but that's the consequence of ever-evolving technology. If you own a compatible Apple mobile device, consider this Editors' Choice OS a must-have upgrade.

Best of 2009: Lessons learned overseas
Not every trend starts in the developed markets and trickles down to emerging markets; some trickle up:
- ĀMobile money matters.
- ĀCustomers will pay rationally for mobile service ¢ prepaid, tiered pricing, etc ¢ if you ask them. But if you just offer them the world (unlimited usage) it's hard to take it back from them.
- ĀAn ongoing lesson: outsourcing economics work for everything from network equipment (Huawei), handsets (Samsung, LGE), network operations (vendor global operations centers) and more.
- ĀAlternative energy, namely solar and wind power, is a viable and cost effective source for greening up cell sites ¢ and wireless telecom in general.

Alice Takes Us To Wonderland!
Theo Walcott isn't the only prodigy taking the country by storm right now. Since being spotted on a Bournemouth beach this year, 20-year-old Alice Goodwin has became the most talked-about glamour talent in the country.
Naturally, ZOO fought off all comers to hand the 32F honey her long-awaited magazine debut back in June - and now, she's back to discuss her famous rack, male and female admirers and the benefits of permanently erect nipples...
Judging by the bulging sacks of fan mail we're receiving, you're the hottest model in the country right now. How does it feel?
Absolutely amazing! Since being discovered earlier in the summer, life has become steadily more insane. I never thought in a million years I'd be recognised in the street!
We can imagine you're getting a fair amount of male attention...
It's mad. My Facebook site crashed because I had over 1,000 friend requests! It's lovely people know who you are, but now and again you do get the odd over-enthusiastic fan. And they're not always just blokes!
Really? Got yourself some female admirers, too, eh?
Definitely! And strangely, they tend to be more persistent, too! I've had girls come up and be exceptionally precise and really rather rude about what they'd like to do to me!
Continue reading the interview and see the pics >>
PUB FACT: Alice used to be a fashion model but considers glamour to be a "far more fun and sexy" industry to work in.
Here's why Alice Goodwin is without a doubt one of ZOO's hottest brunettes!
Hi, Alice. we've heard you once weighed your own boobs?
Yup, and they're really heavy. Each one is 745g, so I'm carrying around one-and-a-half bags of sugar on each boob!

Not every single Republican with a socialist mindset was against, but concerning Christianity's terrors over the centuries by so called "statist" nonsence when the state didn't exist, only individuals who ruled over people implemented that abusive belief system.
I doubt Socialists would side with the Soviet empire. There is a difference between the two, one is reasonable and the other is very extreme.
How different is it from the weapon ownership of America, it is extreme, regardless of violence on television, abusive adults, prevailant male power structures.
I agree with Piers Morgan about how could a gunman be killed in the cinema with everbody armed and firing into a dark room, but he is a fool, as he uses his brother who is a UK soldier who is trained to kill, nobody can talk of getting rid of guns without talking about lowering weapon expenditure in the world.
But then again people are imperfect such as him, me or his brother or Barack, who don't always see the same view.

During the trial phase of an action brought by citizens in Westmoreland County, a judge refused civil penalties for the Board of Supervisors, the Administrator of the IDA (Industrial Development Authority and the Zoning Administrator because (it was said) the officials didn't know the requirements of the law for exemptions meant to satisfy the need for a closed meeting.
Frank Delano of the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star and Pamela D'Angelo of the Richmond Times Dispatch covered the decision handed down by retired Charlottesville Judge Jay T. Swett earlier this week.
Swett said the officials failed to cite a sufficiently specific reason for closing the meeting to the public, and that County Zoning Administrator Robert Fink erred in not providing in a timely fashion a document requested by the plaintiffs.
Swett said that county owed legal fees to the plaintiffs' attorneys in the FOIA suit, but fines against county officials were unjustified because they acted without knowledge of the law's details.
In a written ruling, Swett found the county's action was willfully done, though he found no evidence that members of the Westmoreland Board of Supervisors or the Industrial Development Authority knew the legal consequences of going into a closed meeting without providing information in the minutes.
Of course, what the judge says carries a lot of weight. However, he is wrong, and his decision circumvents the law. Virginia Code (1950) 2.2-3700 is the applicable section of law here. It states (in part):
The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed to promote an increased awareness by all persons of governmental activities and afford every opportunity to citizens to witness the operations of government. Any exemption from public access to records or meetings shall be narrowly construed and no record shall be withheld or meeting closed to the public unless specifically made exempt pursuant to this chapter or other specific provision of law.
2.2-3702 states (in part):
Any person elected, reelected, appointed or reappointed to any body not excepted from this chapter shall (i) be furnished by the public body's administrator or legal counsel with a copy of this chapter within two weeks following election, reelection, appointment or reappointment and (ii) read and become familiar with the provisions of this chapter.
Is the judge contradicting the established law in this area? It clearly states that officials will become familiar with the provisions of the law, and will be furnished a copy of the law. Is the judge intimating that the officials in Westmoreland County have not performed their duties according to the law?
This is pretty straightforward stuff really. I would think a judge of the stature of Judge Swett would realize that the civil penalty portion of the law is meant to be punitive in nature. Yet, in black and white in the decision, there it is.
The officials didn't know the legal requirements of the law concerning closed meetings.
I hope the plaintiffs appeal this decision.

I recently had an x-ray of my cervical spine and the test results reported:
There is reversal of normal cervical lordosis with disc space narrowing and equivocal retrolisthesis at C5-6 with some lateral spurring more on the right. Minimal levoscoliosis.
Could someone explain this to me. I will not be able to see the physical med doc for another 2 weeks. I do have UCTD but my appt with the rheumatologist isn't until February.
This is all too new to me and there is alot of info on the web but some direction really would be so very appreciated.
Thank you. Michele
Retrolisthesis at C5-6
Hi Michele
First let me say welcome to spine-health. You will find many members who have or are going through the same things as yourself. Retrolisthesis means that your vertebra or not aligned. More than likely whom ever ordered the mri will want some flexion/extension x-rays as that is the easiest place to see that issue. What brought you to seek medical attention for your neck? As far as the degree of the retrolisthesis it sounds as though the the radiologist is saying it needs to be investigated further. Now as far as the spurring on the spine that is commonly seen after the age of say 25 from just normal wear and tear. It will depend on how bad the spurs are and if they are causing you any issues.
Anyway just thought I would stop by and welcome you to spine-health. Please keep us posted on how you get along and what the out come is. Take care.
Hi Tamtam ~
Thank you so much for the information. This is all just so new to me. I actually saw the doc for pain in my shoulder and waking up at night with my fingers tingling and sometimes numb. There are also some nights I am woken up from a stabbing headache on the left side of my head. The rheumatologist tested me for carpel tunnel in which I tested negative. He had me try wrist braces but they didn't work so he referred me to PM. The PM doc said that I am hyperlaxity and as for my neck, my range of motion is limited and ordered a cervical x-ray and referred me to physical therapy. I often have kinks in my neck and it gets real stiff but I thought maybe it was from the shoulder pain not the other way around. I aslo experience pain in my hips more on the right again but the left is affected. For some time now I have been taking ibuprofen 600mg 3-4/day and vicoden about 15-20/month. It all seems to be related to my activity level. In June I was diagnosed with UCTD so I don't know if this is linked to that or something completely different. I am sure all the pieces will fall into place in time. I am 41yrs and I have four beautiful children so I really hope whatever this amounts to that it is caught early and can be managed.
Thank you again, Tamtam, for your reply.

New Andrew Jackson High School head football coach C.J. Frye spent the 2014 high school football season as a key figure in a massive rebuilding job and he's ready to tackle a similar task at AJ.
The No. 1 ranked Lancaster High School Lady Bruins, 25-0, used a late defensive stand to deliver a thrilling 41-40 home win over fifth-rated Southside High School of Greenville in the third round of the Class AAA Upper State basketball playoffs on Monday, Feb. 23.
LHS, with three fouls to give, held off Southside with back-to-back fouls on the inbounds to leave the Lady Tigers only two seconds to get off a desperation shot.
HEATH SPRINGS – During citizen's comments at the Heath Springs Town Council meeting Tuesday, Feb. 24, a Cauthen Street resident told council members she has trashed limbs near the front of her house that have been there "since July last year."
Let's begin with the obvious: South Carolina State is a mess. No, it's way beyond a mess; it is on life support and its very existence is in grave danger.
But it can be fixed and, in fact, the solution is fairly straightforward. It's not rocket science; if GM can go from the brink of extinction to making a profit in less than 24 months, then SC State's problems can be solved.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently awarded more than $20 million to public housing authorities in South Carolina, including the Lancaster Housing Authority, which received $195,714.

Plans for a new Indian Land recycling center are moving forward, following a motion by county officials last week.
The Andrew Jackson High School girls basketball team had a tough night in the Lady Volunteers Class AA Upper State postseason road trip to Pendleton High School on Friday, Feb. 20.
The Lady Bulldogs halted AJ's postseason hoops hopes with a 51-27 win at PHS.
Call it a two-pronged, just-after-daylight fire attack. Lancaster Fire Department Chief Chuck Small was working at a frenzied pace with a group in the multi-purpose room at the University of South Carolina Lancaster's Bradley Arts and Sciences Building early Wednesday, Feb. 25.
I would like to respond to Michael Jedson's letter, "Facts, without the whining and ranting," in the Feb. 1 edition of The Lancaster News.
Why do Democrats and supporters keep repeating talking points and calling them facts when anyone who can add two plus two or use the Internet can debunk these myths?
I apologize in advance if this sounds like an insult, it is not my intention to disparage you personally, but your so-called facts would be almost laughable if they were not so tragic for so many in this country.

John P. Alkire III
Today the family of John Alkire wants to express and share our deep thanks, gratitude and appreciation for the joy and love he brought into our lives. On Saturday, July 17, we encircled him with love and sent him off on his next great adventure. His main love in life was his family.
He is survived by his loving wife and best friend Lynne. Their beautiful romance was unwavering from the moment they met. They still held hands 43 years into their marriage. They were truly blessed by a love that brought them joy every single day. Their legacy of love is their two children, Beverly and John. An additional daughter came into their lives through John's marriage to Ripple. John and Ripple gave them two beautiful grandchildren, Samuel and Riley, who were the light of John's life. He spoiled them with chocolate milkshakes for breakfast and tickled them incessantly. John was extremely close to his sisters Judy, Jacque and Jody, and his brother Jim. They always knew they could count on big brother, even when he was playing pranks on them. John's life was blessed with many deep friendships. This circle of friends became his extended family and enriched his life immensely.
Those who knew John will remember and treasure the qualities that defined him most. He lived life passionately and lit a room with his positive attitude and resounding laughter. He had an innate ability to make others feel connected, included, and warm in his presence. He expressed his southern hospitality by cooking desserts. Friends could not wait to devour his rum cake, pralines and banana pudding. He was also an adventurer to the core. He got great pleasure from taking apart and putting together his favorite cars, then driving them around mountain roads. He loved Auburn football and outdoor sports. He was one of Raleigh's most avid skiers and skied over 50 days last season. There was not a run he could not or would not go down. He was happiest on powder days, skiing the black runs of Alta and Snowbasin. After retiring early from his tire business, he followed his passion and even became a ski instructor late in his life. He was open to new experiences and traveled all over the world. His favorite trip was when he and his wife took their daughter to explore Egypt and Jordan for her 40th birthday. John stayed busy but always had time to visit and share. John lived life to the fullest, celebrating every day without regrets. He has left a legacy that makes our family proud – kindness, love, and doing for others. Our love for him never ends and we will hold him in our hearts forever.
A memorial service was held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at Hayes Barton Baptist Church.
A memorial contribution may be made in John's name to the Hayes Barton Baptist Church Building Fund, 1800 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, North Carolina 27608, or www.heartsandhandsforhaiti.org.
Arrangements were by Bryan-Lee Funeral Home, Raleigh.

On December 1, 2011, Pam Mason, ASHA's Director of Audiology Professional Practices, and Nicole Duritz, AARP's Vice President of Education took part in a nationwide media tour about new collaborative polling the organizations did about AARP members' hearing health.
This poll is a joint initiative of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and AARP to highlight issues related to hearing among older Americans. The poll outlines the 'state of hearing' among the 50+ generation.
This report is a summary of the overall findings of the poll [PDF], which outlines attitudes towards hearing health, needs and unmet needs that the 50+ population has for hearing health, and knowledge of where to go for help as well as enablers and barriers to getting this help.
This is a supplemental report which contains findings specific to minorities [PDF].

text: I ran into a problem that was reported earlier in the list when building lilo 21.7.5 against the 2.4.14 kernel headers. http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2001/10/0186.h tml The thread mentions genhd.h without mentioning the solution. In genhd.h, DOS_EXTENDED_PARTITION and LINUX_EXTENDED_PARTITION are part of an enum. I am guessing that in older kernels they were preprocessor macros; that would explain the lines in lilo's partition.c which check if they're #defined. Well, they're not now that they're an enum instead of a #define, so they get replaced with EXTENDED_PARTITION, which is NOT a defined symbol. Simple enuf to fix -- remove those #ifndef/#define macros from partition.c. -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe lfs-support' in the subject header of the message

by Micki Panttaja "I just love to dig. This is actually my vacation, so I just volunteered to come up and help out" says Theodore Charles, "I'm like a kid in a candy store – You never know what you are going to find." The same could be said for the eclectic group of students and volunteers working on the Kooskia Internment Camp Archaeological Project. Charles, a second year anthropology graduate student from Blanchard, Washington, is the type of person you would expect to find face down in a meter by meter pit scraping at the dirt and brushing away pebbles in hopes of uncovering a historic treasure. After all, he plans on making archaeology his life's work. But, on this particular dig, he may be more of the exception that the rule. Professor Stacey Camp, who is the lead researcher and faculty member in charge of the Kooskia field school explains that although a majority of the people who work on this and other archaeological projects for the University of Idaho are indeed anthropology majors or minors. However, many are not. "Anyone can volunteer," she adds. "They just need to contact me first, because you can have too many people on a site. Because you still have to oversee to make sure everything is done correctly and proper collection methods are used." One of Camp's volunteers on the dig is Brianna Lelieur, a high school student from San Francisco. Staying for several weeks with her grandmother who lives in the area, Brianna had the summer homework assignment of writing a seven page paper. She decided to focus on the history of the Kooskia area. "I did a bunch of research, and wrote five pages. But I got stuck. Then my mom heard about this project and said I should check it out. . . . So I contacted Stacey and she gave me one of the volunteer spots." When Lelieur was asked if working on the dig helped her with her paper, she responds, "Yeah. Now have nine pages." Another team member, Morgan Bingle, is also motivated by academic reasons. A UI undergraduate studying Political Science and Technical Theatre, he enrolled in the field school because he needed an upper division credit. "I thought this would be better that taking another lecture class, and I had taken an anthropology class while I was studying abroad at a Semester at Sea . . . so I thought it would be good." One of his favorite finds so far has been a sealed bottle that he discovered while clearing part of the rock slide which covered part of the site. Camp says that it is helpful to have a variety of people with different backgrounds on the site, even if they can only volunteer for a couple of days. "It's good to have new people come out. They see things that we sometimes miss. We've been out here for weeks . . . looking and looking at it, and having new eyes on the site brings a fresh perspective."

GCC Faster with Automatic Parallelization
The upcoming GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4.4 will combine the existing Graphite loop optimization with autopar automatic parallelization support.
Soon-to-be-released GCC 4.4 will include the Graphite framework that should optimize high-level loops in multi-core systems, even though it has required specific compiler configuration.
IBM's Razya Ladelsky has since proposed plans in GCC mail for automating this optimization. The Graphite framework will integrate with autopar, the automatic parallelization code generator, so that upcoming versions of GCC will identify next to simple loops also more complex structures for better performance on multi-core systems.

Natural Law Expert to Speak on Equality and Life Issues
Dr. Finnis' talk will be sponsored by the Institute of Bioethics.
Posted: 2011-03-09
More News & Events
STEUBENVILLE, OH—Dr. John Finnis, internationally known expert in natural law theory, will give a talk titled "Equality and Life Issues: A Scorecard" at Franciscan University of Steubenville at 7:00 p.m. in the J.C. Williams Center on Saturday, March 26. Sponsored by the Franciscan University Institute of Bioethics, the lecture is free and open to the public.
Finnis says his talk will touch on "the ontological basis for radical human equality of rights, the real differences of character and attainment that justify differences of treatment, and the threats to proper freedom, morality and religion from indiscriminate anti-discrimination policies and laws." Topics such as abortion, cloning, and same-sex marriage will be treated in the lecture.
Finnis is a professor of law at the University of Notre Dame and at the University of Oxford. He has served on the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Joint Committee on Bioethical Issues and is widely published in law, legal theory, moral and political philosophy, and moral theology.
Founded in 2007, the Institute of Bioethics at Franciscan University of Steubenville examines, articulates, and defends the Catholic Church's position on the most controversial issues of the day. It does this through conferences, public lectures, and the writings, research, and public speaking engagements of the Institute's director, Dr. Patrick Lee, who holds the John N. and Jamie D. McAleer Chair of Bioethics.
