Walgreen Co. and AARP have launched the second leg of their two-year national mobile health screening tour, which aims to provide more than $60 million of free health screenings by April 2011.
Retail News Breaks Archives
DEERFIELD, Ill. – Walgreen Co. and AARP have launched the second leg of their two-year national mobile health screening tour, which aims to provide more than $60 million of free health screenings by April 2011.
The drug store chain said Wednesday that the AARP/Walgreens Wellness Tour will hold health screening events in over 3,000 communities across the United States and Puerto Rico during the campaign, with a goal of administering more than 2.5 million free screenings. To date, the tour has provided more than $27 million in free screenings.
The screenings — measuring cholesterol levels, blood pressure, bone density, glucose levels, waist circumference and body mass index — are being offered to those age 18 and older and are geared toward early disease detection and prevention.
Comprised of nine custom-equipped buses carrying certified health screeners, the tour travels separate routes in canvassing the nation. Each bus spends several days in designated cities to provide free services at local events, community centers, Walgreens stores and other locations, with a special emphasis on underserved communities.
After the screenings are performed, a pharmacist or staff member instantly provides the results and reviews them with the individual. Visitors also have access to free educational information on a variety of health and wellness issues that are available in English and Spanish. Consumers are encouraged to visit a doctor or health care provider if they have any concerns.
"During previous tours, I've seen how these free screenings can be a life-saving resource. We're proud to carry on that tradition," Walgreens president and chief executive officer Greg Wasson said in a statement. "AARP is the perfect ally because of the campaign's dedication to improving lives and offering greater access to health resources, particularly among those most in need. Together, we can tap into our strong community networks to make sure the tour reaches the people who need us most."
Walgreens said that of those screened during the 2009 tours, 68% had high body mass index, 64.1% had high blood pressure, 40.7% had high cholesterol and 36.4% had low bone density.
"We are pleased to continue our effort with Walgreens to help provide important health screenings at a time when many still cannot afford preventive health care," commented A. Barry Rand, CEO of AARP. "The results from the first year on the road speak volumes to the need for these basic screenings and will go a long way in increasing the chances for early detection of chronic disease and other potential health problems."
Free one-year AARP memberships will be given to all adults who receive screenings. Participants under the age of 50 can pass on the free membership to an eligible adult, and existing members will receive a one-year extension on their current membership status.

Being a river guide on the Mississippi River, turtles love ecosystems that are safe and abundant with food. Golf course ponds usually don't have heavy pressure from fisherman, which leaves plenty of food. The use of pesticides leaves the ponds abundant with fora, which attracts all kinds of water species that's a great situation for protection and food. If you pay attention closely, I bet those sand traps are loaded with eggs! Want to see alot of turtles, go to www.island63.com and www.rivergator .org and plan a trip on the lower Mississippi River.

Published July 9, 2013
This story is part of a special National Geographic News series on global water issues.
Something's lurking in that water hazard—and it's not just the errant balls of duffers. New research shows that golf courses can be havens for turtles, and may even attract a richer mix of species than ponds in seemingly more natural settings.
The findings are only the latest of a growing number of studies showing that golf courses—long derided by environmentalists for heavy use of water and pesticides—can provide valuable wildlife habitat in a rapidly urbanizing world.
No one advocates flattening an ancient woodland to build 18 new holes. But scientists say that a golf course in the right place, built and maintained in the right way, can be an oasis for creatures from bluebirds to beetles.
For the turtles of North Carolina, golf ponds "are providing something that other ponds are not," says University of Kentucky herpetologist Steven Price, a co-author of the two new turtle papers.
"So maybe they're the lesser of two evils."
Price and his colleagues sought to understand the fate of turtles in the Charlotte, North Carolina, metropolitan area, where galloping growth has swallowed 60 percent of the undeveloped land in some counties.
The researchers set out nets baited with tins of sardines in 20 local ponds. Some ponds were on golf courses, others in cattle pastures or neighborhood parks. The scientists checked the traps every other day, extracting any occupants by hand.
The surveys showed that two common species—the painted turtle and the slider—were just as abundant in golf course ponds as in farm ponds, according to a paper in the current issue of the Journal of Herpetology, while neighborhood ponds placed a distant third.
And golf course ponds boasted a richer variety of turtle species than farm and neighborhood ponds, because the area around golf course ponds tended to have better connections to other green space, the scientists report in an upcoming issue of the journal Landscape and Urban Planning.
It's not clear why more kinds of turtles hang out near the fairways than down at the local park. Perhaps it's because golf courses often boast multiple ponds and even lakes or streams. And the courses' large stretches of grass and field are good for turtle nests.
Hope for Turtles
The results "bring some hope," says Davidson College herpetologist Jacquelyn Guzy, who took part in the research.
"There's potential for [courses] to be really good habitat if they're managed properly" and contain enough suitable water and land, says Guzy.
(See "Pictures: Golf Masters Green—Ten Environmental Courses.")
Turtles aren't alone in enjoying a little time on the links. When researchers did a summary analysis of a host of studies comparing golf courses with other kinds of green space, they found that courses were more ecologically valuable than farmland in nearly 65 percent of the comparisons made in the studies. More surprisingly, golf courses outstripped state parks and nature reserves in ecological value in half the cases.
Part of the credit may go to groundskeepers, says Johan Colding of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics in Stockholm and a co-author of the summary analysis, published in the journal Ecosystems in 2009. Wetlands that are left alone can fill with silt; golf course ponds aren't allowed to. And golf courses—at least the good ones—offer a wide variety of habitat.
"When you watch on television, you see fairways, because [professional golfers] play so well," Colding says. "But there are lots of out-of-bounds areas that are wild." A typical course is only 30 percent playable area, he says. The rest is water, forest, and other types of more natural land.
But Colding and other researchers also worry that developers will use the good news about golf courses to justify badly designed courses or courses where there shouldn't be any at all. A golf course built over natural marshes, or a largely treeless course with nothing but lawn, is no help to wildlife, the researchers say.
There are several groups that certify golf courses as environmentally friendly. But Price says he's not aware of studies of the certification programs, so it's not clear how rigorous such efforts are.
Even genuinely nature-friendly courses aren't much good for species with demanding lifestyles. The rare Blanding's turtle of the northeastern United States, for example, may wander from a temporary spring pool to a beaver pond to a shrubby wetland in just one season, says wildlife biologist Michael Marchand of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
The sliders and painted turtles abundant in the study ponds, by comparison, are not terribly picky.
Housing Encroaches
But the most laid-back turtle is likely to flee—as quickly as a turtle can—a type of golf course that is becoming ever more popular: greens interspersed with condos. The North Carolina researchers found that courses with more housing inside their boundaries had fewer turtles, perhaps partly because houses mean more encounters with cars and with humans—such as the unknown person who beat a snapping turtle to death with a golf club last month on a Wisconsin golf course.
(See "Greener Golf Is Growing—Slowly.")
In neighborhoods built into a golf course, "people get a great view ... and it creates a parklike atmosphere," Price says. But "if we want to think about golf courses as wildlife habitat, we probably should think about limiting houses built within course boundaries."
Wildlife-friendly courses don't need to be golfer-unfriendly, says wildlife ecologist David Steen of Virginia Tech. A course with more woods and more wetlands will please many species, including, perhaps, that special breed known as the golfer.
"A lot of people play golf because they like to spend time outside," Steen says. "It'd be more rewarding if their time outside was in more of a natural landscape."

Smart businesses face 2009 head-on
They're thinking so far ahead that they're already making plans to thrive in the next downturn, since economic cycles virtually guarantee another recession.
Here are a few ways you can prepare to face the future head-on:
• First, get real. You need to make a realistic assessment of your personal and business situation. Emotions and personality tend to play a role in how we think about our finances. This is why using a few exercises and bouncing some things off of your trusted friends, advisors and mentors can be useful.
Let's say you are very down on your situation. A great exercise is to do a "worst case scenario."
Write down all of the bad things that could happen to you, your family and your employees if the worst occurred. Then take a deep breath and assess on a scale of 1-10: a) how likely is this terrible result to actually occur; b) what would you need to and could do if it did occur; and c) how long would it take for you to dig out?
This exercise will force you to face your fears and to visualize how you might react in certain scenarios. You may find that you are much more capable of recovery and/or that your difficulties are not really as likely to occur as you thought.
Or, you may find out you are in real trouble. Not knowing is most of the problem. Uncertainty creates fear. And fear promotes very bad decision making.
• Deal with your problems. If your business is already in dire straits, you must take action NOW. Time is your most valuable commodity.
In such extreme financial conditions, businesses can become overwhelmed to the point of inaction. You may need to hire experts to help you develop and implement a plan to deal with your most pressing issues such as creditors, cash flow and customer issues.
The plan should address and prioritize all of the issues. I promise you that the absolute worst tactic is to dodge creditors, ignore employee problems and the like. Just as an example, nothing makes a creditor angrier than being dodged!
• Get Clarity. Get back to basics by writing down why you went into business in the first place. What excited you about it? What were your challenges? Then, write down the principles that have guided you through tough decisions in the past. These steps will re-energize you and provide insight into yourself and your business.
Part of my personal and business clarity comes from a Confucian saying that I translate as: "The greatest act of cowardice is knowing what the right thing to do is, but not doing it." This drives many difficult choices because I cannot stand the idea of being a coward! What works for you?
• Corporate Culture. Even if you are having financial problems, you can and should be working on your corporate culture. For most of us, our employees are very important to our long-term success. It is not expensive to write down your key corporate tenets and work on communicating them to your employees verbally and through your actions. Employees will then communicate those tenets by their actions to your customers, suppliers and the like.
• Opportunities Now or Later. I don't know what kind of business you have. Maybe an opportunity for you is to take customers away from companies that are floundering as their leaders and employees panic.
Maybe you can buy up small failing (or frightened) companies with good customers or supplier contracts, or foreign companies now made affordable by the strengthening US Dollar.
For some, a formal merger or joint venture would make sense. Analyze your finances. Are there areas where you could reduce costs without compromising results? If you have cash or credit available and do not own your business real estate, now may be a great time to get a bargain and be your own landlord.
On a different note, you may have estate tax issues. If so and if your company value is lower now than you expect it to be in the future, now could be a great time to gift some company stock to your children. Of course, this should only be done with appropriate documentation and protections for you and the company in place, so be sure to consult your estate planning attorney and CPA.
If you are not in a position to make many changes now, look at what opportunities you would have liked to have taken advantage of and plan to be in a position to do so the next time we have an economic downturn.
I believe all of us can use the current situation to our eventual, if not to our current, advantage.

Does anybody know if there is going to be a 3-rd ova or more?(well i'm asking because the story isn't following that of the manga…)and i think that there is going to be 1 more ova (haruto transferring to where eba lives…and thats all i can think of)????
June 20th, 2012 at 11:56 am
The voice acting don't fit to characters. It's leaving bad aftertaste for those who read manga .
So I think. Personally i think Manga is and will be better thant animated series.
June 20th, 2012 at 12:56 pm
So happy rori picked this up : )
June 20th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
For them to make a longgg anime of this manga would probably be asking the impossible but I'd wish they'd consider modifying the end a bit,as this could've ended MUCH ages ago.
Also I wish they'd consider picking up more mangas like this and making them into animes not ovas.Such as good ending(thought that might be asking much also since it's pretty long) or,Unbalance x Unbalance which is 86 chapters long or so and is pretty good.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:23 pm
This one was really good
June 21st, 2012 at 1:46 am
actually this was quite enjoyable
June 21st, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Really good anime. Good thing it's only 2 OVA's cuz I can see what will happen next….
July 5th, 2012 at 6:21 am
You know, after watching this part I have a feeling I would have liked it if I had never touched/read/heard about the manga… But, since I have, I can remember the things that went on in between each of these splotches of story and rage.

I am researching the Ernest Nelson Hartranft & Kenneth Norman Jensen family I have had some problems finding Ned Eugene Jensen the only information I have on him is that he was born in Iowa or Norway. My best guess as to when is 1880's. I have been researching Grace Lucretia O'donnell born in South Bend, Indiana. She was also known as Grace Disher (her adopted families surname). She was born out of wedlock to Grace Emma O'Donnell and had quite a bit of contact with her birth mother. Her Grandfathers name was James O'Donnell and her Grandmothers name was Hattie Hardy Beyler. In addition, I'm researching the Heredia & Espinosa family of Numaran, Michoacan Mexico. The De Anda Family in Jalisco Mexico and the Reynosa Family In AguasCalientes Mexico. Any information would be appreciated. I am also willing to share the information that I have. |

Just got swept by the Orioles, looks like they are sleepwalking out there.. no enthusiasm. 173 Million payroll, what a disgrace.. they get rid of Tito and Epsteins leaves, so the clone Cherington takes over and an announcer is the new manager who pisses everyone off.. Shame these guys are even included in the same conversation as the Patriots, Celtics and Bruins.. no heart, no passion for the game.
They do appear to be fairly average. Spending more isn't the same as spending wisely. The Sox look like a collection of individuals for hire, not a team at this point in the season.
be careful. one of the sox players might read this thread and go on the disabled list because of it.they are playing below average. average is 500. they are playing at a 300 clip since last sept. calling them average is far to kind. gonzo our great first baseman struck out on three pitches to the orioles dh.
Gonzalez has been the most disappointing for me in 2012. When you give up a farm, you expect consistent and high production.
hes definitely not what they were looking for when they gave up the farm to get him. its the lack of power that's really troubling. where are the hrs? and he doesn't seem to have the mental make up to handle boston.
They didn't talk about it on NESN yesterday but I just assumed Byrd ran through the sign in the 16th, considering he was out by 15 feet. That's not the case though, he was sent. Sent to be cut down like he was a blade of grass.
Wake me when they matter, because I watched maybe 2-3 innings this weekend, and maybe listened to as many in the car as well. They've successfully done what no other Red Sox team has been able to do...make me not care. I am sure I am not the only one out there who feels this way. ...but the sellout streak continues! Go Good, So Good, SO GOOD! :sleeping:
A couple of encouraging things: Big Papi is hitting the crap out of the ball and may even have another 1-2 years left in him after this one.....And of course Middlebrooks is performing like we all knew he could....If he can keep this up in the pros then let Youk go after this season and Will should give us another solid player in our lineup.....
I want to believe THAT Bobby V. can do some justice for the sox. They have the talent just don't have the heart anymore. Almost like they can care less. I don't get it. They used to have the most heart in the game. Now they are an embarrassment. I like to think we don't need Teto or Theo.
If we can get Elsbury back of the DL list for christ sake..... We might win a few games without losing 8 in a row first....lol
I think the talent thing on the Red Sox is an overrated statement. The Red Sox have perceived talent. Our pitching staff is a mess.
Theo must share in some of the blame for this inauspicious start to the 2012 season. These are his guys, for the most part. I, like you, hope that Bobby V can do something to fix this. It's my opinion that there are group of players that have already tuned him out and could care less. There's another group that just want to get paid, and are about their individual #'s, regardless of wins and losses. Then there's a small minority that still want to win. I would be willing to bet that if you asked the players, especially now, that they'd say playing in Boston sucks. Too much *****ing and moaning by fans, too much media scrutiny on every at bat. And that I think is where Tito came in. He was somehow able to keep the nay-sayers and the dark cloud off the club house. Getting back to Bobby V, IMO there were likely better candidates out there to do this job, but ownership felt the need to go with the "sexy" hire and get the name. Something to sell.
From 98.5 I don't see why they just don't cut Bobby V loose and name Luchino and Cherington co-managers already. It's clear that Bobby is just a puppet for whatever decisions the front office makes. Good thing these knuckleheads don't run the Pats. Imagine if Kraft said to BB "Bledsoe starts" back in 2001. Things would be pretty different around here.
Hardy on 98.5 just said that one of his sources spotted Beckett on the golf course last Thursday. Is this the same Beckett that couldn't make his start on Saturday because of injury? This is pathetic if its true.
im listening to the same thing. i have hated Beckett for awhile now. this just confirms everything i thought about that piece of crap.
Trade him. the dude makes a start, throws 120 pitches, and then misses a start. Meanwhile, he's out golfing. Seems to me like he's showing Bobby V, the front office, and us, that the tail indeed wags the dog. "leave me out there for 120 pitches? I fix your ass. 'Oh, my back hurts'."
I should probably shut off Felger, because he's not helping me feel good about the situation. I'm gonna let it rip on my site tonight.
Gonna be difficult to trade, as the RS will probably be on the hook for most of his salary... Wonder how his golf game is, probably better than his pitching game.

SAN ANDREAS, Calif. (AP) - Residents forced to evacuate because of a small wildfire in Central California have been allowed to return to their homes.
Officials said the 100-acre fire in Calaveras County was 70 percent contained as of Monday morning. The evacuation order was lifted the previous night after a couple of hours.
It was not clear how many homes were evacuated.
The fire south of San Andreas began around 12:30 p.m. Sunday and destroyed one outbuilding. About 300 firefighters were called in to battle the blaze.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Biography in Context
The Biography in Context (formerly Biography Resource Center) is a comprehensive database of biographical information on more than 185,000 people from throughout history, around the world, and across all disciplines and subject areas. It contains approximately 250,000 biographies and full-text articles from nearly 250 periodicals.

Black Drama contains the full text of 1,200 plays written from the mid-1800s to the present by more than 150 playwrights from North America, English-speaking Africa, the Caribbean, and other African diaspora countries.

Nearly a quarter of the collection will consist of previously unpublished plays by writers such as Langston Hughes, Ed Bullins, Willis Richardson, Amiri Baraka, Randolph Edmonds, Zora Neale Hurston, and many others. Each play is extensively and deeply indexed, allowing both keyword and multi-fielded searching. The plays are accompanied by reference materials, significant ancillary information, a rich performance database, and images.

This is the first time that Pickering & Chatto's highly acclaimed critical editions have been made available in electronic format, allowing scholars to examine the texts in new ways. Important texts that have been long overlooked will be rediscovered, and researchers will be able to trace new interrelationships among these works. In addition to Pickering & Chatto's critical editions, The Romantic Era Redefined includes the only complete digital version of The Wordsworth Circle, the international academic journal devoted to the study of English literature, culture, and society during the Romantic era. The quarterly print journal is finally available electronically, with in-depth indexing and powerful search functionality. The Romantic Era Redefined presents the writings of Maria Edgeworth, Charlotte Smith, William Godwin, Elizabeth Inchbald, Harriet Martineau, Joanna Baillie, Thomas DeQuincey, Mary Russell Mitford, and John Thelwall, among dozens of other writers of the time. |

Ask Shyvana
Hello, Summoners.
It seems that some of my fellow champions have taken to opening advice threads for you all. Well, I have nothing but respect for the Crownguard family, especially its members who are in the Demacian military. But, if you ask me, Luxanna's social status really distances her from the trials and concerns of the everyday people. As for LeBlanc... the day we take advice from a Noxian aristocrat is the day we might as well just throw society out the window and degenerate into their social squalor. So, I decided I could spare a few minutes from my day to answer any questions you Summoners may have. Feel free to ask whatever you want, though if it's about me, I trust you know better than to dig too personally into my life. |
Greetings, miss Shyvana.
Since you rose the subject of everyday life in your own message, I would follow up on that and ask you - what is your everyday life while you aren't battling in the Fields of Justice? Where do you live, what do you eat, the places where a commoner may meet you? ...How do people react when seeing you? (That is in no way an offence, though I may have went slightly overboard with that.) Sincerely, former summoner Eredale. |
First of all, no need for the Miss. With what I do for a living, honorifics just feel wrong. Not that I'm complaining about it, mind you. Quite the opposite. I have a small house in a neighborhood where many Demacian soldiers choose to live. I could afford more, but I'm rarely home. I spend most of my time in the barracks or on the training fields. I occasionally help train and tough up the new recruits, or just go through their drills to keep myself sharp. I also generally eat at the barracks. So, a commoner is most likely to find me there. The guards generally allow commoners in if they want to do a drill themselves. If you want to meet me there, be prepared to work for it. But, I suppose you were curious about what I do when I'm doing things not related to the military. I frequent a diner near the market on the north end of the city center. It's as good a place as any to unwind, and the market is right there, if I need to buy anything. As a half-dragon, my diet is mostly meat, so if you're looking for me there, look around the stands selling red meats. How people react... people tend to either be comforted or terrified by me. I get annoyed when people act scared of me, but for everyone's sake, I've learned to control my anger. It just boils down to whether or not people trust me. If they do, then they know that no petty thug is going to try anything when I'm around. If they don't... well, the tales people spread about the wrath of dragons don't help comfort those people when I'm around. Since I joined the League, more people are approaching me. They usually just want autographs, or to tell me how 'awesome' something I did in a recent match was. Sometimes, they to ask about half-dragons. I can't say I always enjoy being disturbed when I'm trying to go about my day, but it's far less annoying than people crossing the street to avoid me. |
Shyvana, what other four champions would you most want on your team on the fields of justice?
Second, Garen Crownguard. There is no greater honor than fighting alongside the revered Might of Demacia. His bravery and courage in the face of the enemy is quite the sight to see, and makes him an invaluable ally. When a group of us has to hold the line, I know Garen will never be the weak link that breaks our vanguard. Third, Luxanna Crownguard. My opening remarks probably seemed critical of the girl, but make no mistake. Even mages have to make it through basic training, and Luxanna keeps up with the best of them when it comes time for drills. Besides, on the Fields of Justice, you need more than brute strength to win. Luxanna's ability to bind someone down from a distance makes it easy for me to rush in and splatter the enemy's burning guts across the field. Fourth, the barbarian Tryndamere. I realize Demacia hasn't had the best of relations with his people, but on the Fields of Justice, such issues are best put aside. I've seen his raw, unrelenting rage send even a grown Cho'gath run to cower behind his tower. How he uses his fury to go so far as to refuse death itself is something I can relate to. We have a similar style of attack - all in, without hesitation, without fear. Were I to be surrounded by a horde of enemies, given only one ally to fend them off with me, I know of few people who could do the job better. Finally, Vayne. She is often too quiet for my liking, but her skill can't be denied. When I saw her condemn Shaco to our own tower, then put three bolts in his skull before he could pry himself off, I knew that she was a champion who could handle anything the League threw at her. From a tactical perspective, she has ranged weapons, and her ability to get in and out of a fight quickly makes it harder for ranged champions on the enemy team to 'shut me down', as you Summoners put it. I've seen enemies hold off their attacks at the mere sight of her. Anyone who can instill so much fear just by being in the fight is someone I want on my side. And if the enemy tries to call her on the fear she instills, she can back it up with a rain of bolts. Plus, even though she is too quiet, her style is one I can respect. Quick, direct, unrelenting death. |
Dear Shyvana,
I must say first and foremost it has been an honour summoning you to the fields of justice, your prowess and might fit the tactics I employ perfectly and with you as my chosen my champion, I rarely see a loss! I'm keen to see your mind is just as strong as your presence on the battlefield and as beautiful as your features. So my problem is thus, I have been saving my earnings for quite some time now, and it's come that I must make a choice. I have three options in mind to put this money toward, one is for convience, another is to improve myself and the third is for pleasure. The choices are learning how to drive the famous hex-tech conveyance, this will help in day to day life and make things a lot easier, the other is to learn piano, something I've wanted to do for sometime, since I find it a beautiful instrument, there would probably be little gain out of this however. The third is of course to spend all the money on a long holiday, possibly visit some friends abroad. What would you pick, given the choice? I look forward to any advice you are willing to give, Many thanks Summoner Anrel |
Dear Shyvana
Why exactly do you wear those dragon things on your hands? What purpose do they achieve? |
Dear Shyvana,
I'm a big fan of your work being a fellow Demacian, and as such being a summoner I tend to summon you or your comrades every possible chance. My question is i notice you have a nice array of armor you wear for fighting, What one is your favorite, and are they enchanted so that you can change and not ruin your armor? |
I'm glad I merge well with your style. It's infuriating when a Summoner who doesn't like a relentless attack strategy tries to make use of my skills. Thankfully, now that I've been a member of the League for a while, most Summoners know what I'm all about, and don't try summoning me if they prefer a more passive strategy. I would choose improving myself. If you saved all that money, you shouldn't waste it. Memories are nice to have, but skills are far more valuable. Now, I hate laziness, but learning to drive the conveyance is a skill itself. I wouldn't utilize the conveyance, but any skill is a skill worth having. On the other hand, I'm no musician, and with Sona being the only musician I know, I can't exactly talk to anyone who can educate me on the subject. But, as far as I know, learning to play an instrument makes you more talented in just about every other area of life. So, between the choice of learning a tangible skill, or learning an artistic skill that could also improve you in more useful areas... I'd choose the instrument. The conveyance option is just too lazy for my liking. Quote:
The 'dragon things' are gauntlets. You'll notice both of the are lined with razor sharp teeth. As a half-dragon, I have sharp claws, but they're nothing compared to a fistful of steel. One swipe with these, and I'll show the world everything you had to eat that day. Since I'm sure you'll ask where I got them, they were a gift from Jarvan IV. He had them commissioned for me when I joined the Demacian military. Many people and dragons alike want me dead for what I am. He gave them to me to encourage me to not try to hide what I am, but to embrace it, and use it to strike fear in the hearts of anyone who'd have me dead. Quote:
Good, I'm glad you prefer to summon Demacians. Victory for our allies, defeat for our enemies, and justice for all. My favorite armor depends on my mood. The one you Summoners refer to as 'classic' is an armor that proudly pays tribute to who and what I am. 'Ironscale' is an armor I wear when maintaining the most human shape I can take, so it's what I use when I'd prefer to show that, though I am a half-dragon, my loyalty lies with humanity and Demacia. 'Boneclaw' is a primal armor, one that I use for intimidation. It's the opposite of Ironscale - it's what I use when I want my enemies to know exactly what I am, what my father was, and what happens to anyone who dares cross blades with me. They are indeed enchanted. When half-dragons shapeshift, only the tightest fitting clothes can survive the transformation. In dragon form, it becomes enveloped in our bodies. Loose, or thick, clothing is shredded. Since armor is thick, it would be destroyed if I tried to shapeshift while wearing it. So, Jarvan IV commissioned the College of Magic to enchant my armors and gauntlets, allowing them to grow with my form. |

@NathanG - Well, it depends on where you work really, assuming you know that in advance. I work at a software company where most of the programmers have a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronic Engineering.
However, they have to develop software. The software is for protective relays that are used in the electrical utility industry. So the background in electronics helps them, and they have been able to make the transition into computer programming without necessarily having the computer science or computer engineering degree.

Judging Feedback
To award the prize money, judges were asked to select their top choice. The $5,000 will be divided equally among the individual choices as follows:
Stories from the Field by Abi Huynh and Florence Truong was selected by judges David Carlson and Jennifer Leonard as well as DESIGN 21. Since this entry was chosen three times, Abi Huynh and Florence Truong will share $1,875.
Jennifer Leonard: "It's a very simple treatment and yet it's visually compelling. I enjoy seeing the framing device applied to a range of photographic imagery. It puts the focus on the content, as the film series surely will, so it looks good and also has meaning behind it. Finally, because of its clean and flexible design, this logo entry has universal appeal — a very important factor when considering a global audience."
David Carlson: "I like logos that are plain and simple yet with a strong personality and identity. This submission is definitely such a logo. I like the reference to the viewfinder of a camera, which I think is more subtle than all the film reel, filmstrips and clapper images cliches among a lot of the submissions. This logo will subordinate itself and capture the spirit of the different movies of the festival and deliver it unpolluted to the beholders. It will work on more or less any photo or color as well as in front of moving images."
The following Judge's Picks all receive $625:
Film Reel by Karsten Skjoldhoj (Denmark) chosen by Jacques Lange
"The competition requirements demanded a wealth of global insights into social, cultural, development and political insights and challenges. Balancing these, are surely an impossible task without offending, patronizing or stereotyping anyone from around the globe. I believe that this is an 'almost impossible task'. However, I believe that my selected final choice is technically faultless on all scores. It is aesthetically well executed, conceptually innovative and culturally neutral. Moreover, I believe that it encapsulates the ethos of the competitions in an innovative manner without imposing any preconceived idealisms. It is a positive signature for what DESIGN 21 stands for and what the "Stories from the field: The United Nations Documentary Film Festival" requires. It is visually beautiful and intellectually inspiring."
Stories from the Field by Stiff Rowlands (United Kingdom) chosen by Laetitia Wolff
"Stiff Rowlands' logo incorporates, in a subtle way, the film industry and the storytelling aspects, without being too literal with the icons, and while working essentially on a typographic solution. From the selection we saw, typographic treatments in general, I thought, were the most convincing designs. The advantage of this one is that it keeps a casual, heartfelt and tactile quality, thanks to the hand-drawn lettering."
Stories from the Field by Mirjana Pavlovic (Serbia & Montenegro) chosen by Halim Choueiry
"What drew me to make my choice is the potential that this logo carries rather than it's actual format. The logo is minimalist and neat. Crisp and easy to remember with an interesting potential but in my opinion it needs to be carried further. Placement of type is good yet, the choice of type can be enhanced, and the type sizes and word emphasis as well. It has also a potential of becoming bilingual and carrying two languages at the same time to reach more cross cultural societies therefore spreading the message out to more individuals. Color can be added to accentuate the meaning and maybe using two different colors for the hands... Two hands from two different cultures, two different fields maybe."
United Effort, United Change by Yael Miller (USA) chosen by Mariana Amatullo
"I commend Yael for proposing a brand identity solution for Stories from the Field that relates clearly to the global work of the United Nations and the broad agenda of the Millennium Development Goals. I believe that this piece has a very humanistic and upbeat quality through the use of hand illustration and bold palette. The overall effect is of high emotional impact and content that is rich with possibility and promise for the stories the documentary festival will tell. I believe it would not be a problem to see this logo on a website successfully and that the designer would be able to work with the client to adjust the logo so it could work on stationary and cards."
Until then by Rita Moubarak (Lebanon) chosen by Omar Vulpinari
"The symbol strongly and relevantly communicates through the "family of humanity" (man, woman, child) forming a large cinema screen that brings their stories to the rest of the world. A highly impacting and emotional icon that celebrates those that are in front of the camera and not those behind it nor the camera itself. The color scheme and typographic design are not coherent with the symbol and theme unfortunately."
DESIGN 21 selected five entries for Honorable Mention:
From dark to light by Fermín Zelada (Spain)
Stories from the Field Logo by Giovanni Atalmi (United Kingdom)
Little Bird by Jurate Veteikyte (Lithuania)
Square with Filmstrip by David Mühlfeld (Netherlands)
RGB by Goodmorning Technology (Denmark)
One of our judges, Jacques Lange, had comments about the entry that received the Most Popular award, Beyond the boundary by Yuko Inagaki (USA):
"The visual solution is seemingly well-crafted. The design elements and principles are well-balanced and well-executed, resulting in a 'technically sound' solution. However, everything goes wrong in the subtext and semiotics. I am an African and am highly sensitive towards the portrayal of stereotypical biases and I find this solution is a textbook example of that. I read the subtext as being grossly patronizing and intentionally contributing to 'othering' – 'the poor Africans need help and we (from the first world) need to pull them by the hair to get out of poverty, disease, corruption, war, etc.' The selected color scheme is aggressive and when it is combined with the aggressive shapes (of what is intended to be leaves) it implies fire. In addition, the image of the hand protruding from the back of the child's face is extremely daunting and aggressive and the geometric pattern of the 'film strip' to the right of the logogram can be interpreted in cultures like mine as 'ladders or staircases of oppression'. My first impression when viewing this solution was a sense of aggression and abuse, amongst others. Surely this is not what the festival would want to portray."
About Competitions
The DESIGN 21 series challenges designers of all disciplines to find solutions to social and global issues. It's guided by UNESCO's premise that education, science, technology, culture and communication are tools to spread knowledge and information, build awareness and foster dialogue.

Bob Donnan/USA TODAY SportsMichael Carter-Williams will have a chance to play immediately in Philadelphia.
Stephen Curry was drafted by Golden State at No. 7 in 2009; Kawhi Leonard was selected 15th by San Antonio two years ago; and Damian Lillard went sixth to Portland in 2012. They are all quality players, but almost equally as important as their draft position was the spot in which they landed.Let's take a look at five players from the 2013 NBA draft who should be able to excel quickly and five more who could be slower to develop.
Early impact
Michael Carter-Williams, Philadelphia 76ersPhiladelphia took him with the 11th pick, minutes after dealing away All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday. Carter-Williams is long and talented -- and should get an immediate opportunity to earn the starting point guard spot. Will he make his mistakes? Absolutely. However, MCW has an extremely high upside and should get a chance to learn under fire. If he can become a solid long-range shooter, he could be scary good.

This exhibition will present Paramodel, an art collaborative established by two contemporary Japanese artists, Yasuhiko Hayashi and Yûsuke Nakano, in Osaka in 2001. Paramodel works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, video, and photography, often combining pieces in site-specific installations that seek to construct a parallel world of "play" intersecting with the real world. For UMMA's exhibition, Paramodel will create a new installation derived from their most famous series, paramodelic-graffiti. In a mesmerizing network of blue-colored model railroads that fill flat surfaces in and beyond the gallery, the installation will transgress the boundaries of space, media, and art production, collapsing the distinction between gallery and street; between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional object; and between creator and spectator. The exhibition will create an experience for visitors full of what the team calls "paradoxes." Though they've shown extensively in Asia and Europe over the past ten years, this marks Paramodel's first solo exhibition of work in the United States. The collaborative recently presented a solo exhibition at the Hermès Foundation in Paris.

This past Saturday I got to do something really awesome with my nephew! My nephew, Sam, is four and attends preschool at the Children's Museum. On Saturday they allowed families to tour their collections, which are not out on the floor because there is not enough room for them.
Random fact, but if you didn't know the Indianapolis Children Museum has the largest collection in the nation. A lot of their collection has many different things, and depending on what they plan on showing in the museum they put different things out at different times.
Some items that are placed in the collection are very old items that people remember from childhood, while other items are items that are more movie related items. Although the preschoolers were excited I think the grownups were more excited than the kids.
My nephew on the other hand just wanted to take five billion pictures, but most of his pictures were blurry so I had to take over. Even though you may not be able to see the collections, what the children museum has out currently is awesome. Especially with all the people here for the Super Bowl I hope that people really take the time to see the city of Indianapolis. We may be known for our sports, but we have pretty awesome museums that are not even that expensive!

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: Jan (O-)Date: Monday, 1 February 1999, at 4:45 p.m.
In Response To: Can't get warm... (Michelle (O))
Hi -
I have been having cold joints the past few days, mostly elbows and knees. But, weird deep to the bone cold. It's been in the 60 degree and higher range here, too. If you find out why, let me know, too.
