Thing that inspired me to do what I do: My awakening to the potential of a clean energy future began with a seventh grade science fair project I did on the subject. This was in the early 80's – when there was less than 10MW of PV installed in the entire US…and now we are over 10GW!

Elijah Johnson
About Elijah…
Elijah's interest in building design started at a very young age. He got the opportunity to apprentice with a team of architects at the age of 14, and spent his teen years working on a variety of residential construction and historical restoration projects. He graduated from Sarah Lawrence College where he studied history, anthropology and cinematography, and spent a number of years after college working on film productions, commercial photography and residential construction jobs. It was during this time that his interest in sustainable design and renewable energy took off, and he reentered the construction field full time and began working for design build firms that specialized in both residential and commercial construction, but the motives and projects of the companies he worked for did not align with his own vision for the role of sustainability in construction until he relocated to Austin and found Native. Elijah designs Photovoltaic installations. He holds his NABCEP solar certification.
Book that moved me: Brave New World Revisited by Aldous Huxley. It was written 20 years after Brave New World in the 1950s, wherein he describes how the world is moving towards what he envisioned in the 1930s novel faster than he could ever have anticipated. He predicts the collusion of media, government and corporate power that we have been watching develop over the last 50 years and suggests that the only way to battle this inevitability is through autonomy and self-sufficiency.
Thing that baffles me: I am baffled by the fact that despite all science has taught us and despite all that technology has made us capable of achieving, we still allow our fellow humans to destroy our planet and deplete our natural resources at an unsustainable pace.
Best advice: The best advice I can offer is to question everything and to learn something new every day.
My hero is: My maternal grandfather, a veteran of the first US ski troopers in WWII who went to Harvard on the GI bill when that was still possible and spent his life as a teacher, always willing to share his knowledge and understanding with anyone willing to learn. He taught me more about life and respecting my fellow humans than anyone else I've ever known.

About Kalden…

In my spare time: I try to build useful things out of recycled everyday items and I also tend to a garden.
My guilty pleasures: Watching Nascar, NHRA top fuel, and dirt track racing, because I respect the engineering and driving skills required.
My all time dream: Is owning a farm that processes every aspect of sustainability known to man, and growing old with my wife on it. Also a kangaroo on the farm would be cool.

Are All Guys A**holes?
** Don't miss your chance to chat with Amber on the YourTango Facebook page this Thursday, September 29th at 2pm ET. Find out more about the event and RSVP here! **
It all started when I was a baby — this innate distrust of men. Out in public, I would find a random man, point my finger at him and scream like he was Jesus and I was crucifying him for all the possible crimes a man might commit against a woman. As if my pacifier was a crystal ball, I just knew.
In kindergarten they chase you around the playground with sticks. In high school they ditch you right before the prom. By college, it's the not calling, the commitment dodging, and the general insensitivity. Then, if you're "lucky" you marry one ... just to have him cheat on you, and complain about you to the fellas. How Control Cuts Off Communication
On paper, it looks a little ridiculous. But it's the question in the back of many girls' minds: "Are all guys assholes?" Maybe it's not always that blatant, but it's still the undercurrent of our relationship assumptions and concerns. Many of us have a deeply ingrained belief that guys:
- just want sex,
- want to avoid commitment, and
- aren't as emotionally invested in their relationships as women.
But these assumptions couldn't be further from the truth. Guys are way more vulnerable than they act, want sex less than you'd think, deeply value their relationships, and, assuming they find the right girl, they want to commit. When a guy falls in love, he falls hard, and when a serious relationship ends, he's a freakin' mess. The Monogamy Myth: Nothing Lasts Forever
These facts are based on statistics I collected after talking to over 1,000 guys about sex and relationships. For my book, Are All Guys Assholes?, I flew around the country and approached guys in fast food spots, office courtyards, parks, coffee shops, bars, sporting events, house parties, art shows … you name it and I was probably harassing guys there. In 10 different cities I asked them to fill out a confidential and anonymous 40-question survey, then spoke with many of them at length about women, love, and dating.
Some raw data:
- 73% said their primary interest in women was finding someone to have a long-term relationship with.
- Only 8% said their primary interest in women was sex.
- Over 99% said they would want to be in a relationship if the right girl came along.
- 95% said they want to get married someday.
- 96% of guys in serious relationships said they prioritize their girlfriend at least as much — if not more — than their pals.
While these numbers stand in stark contrast with much of what we think we know about men, the fact is that this "all guys are assholes" business has just been pounded into our skulls our entire lives. Movies, TV shows, books, magazines, even newspapers are filled with stories and characters that display guys' unwillingness to commit and perpetual eagerness to get laid.

From the beach to the street; Ulysses is perfect for summer-loving feet
Style code: 300038-02
The ULYSSES, a modern take on the huarache running sandal, has been designed to let you move as nature intended, support your feet on beach runs and Summer strolls, and still feel the air between your toes.
With the ultra-thin, puncture resistant sole and finely tuned, slim line upper strap, you can't get much closer to living barefoot than Ulysses, with all the underfoot protection your feet need. Ancient wisdom inspired it, modern technology refined it; Ulysses lets your feet move freely so you can take in the joys of Summer.
Ulysses Mens - excellent alternative to the heavy trail type sandals that I have worn previously.
Ulysses Mens - Very comfortable and stylish shoes with original design and good value for money at the discounted price
Ulysses Mens - I have a few shoes size 42 but the sandals are a little on the loose side
Ulysses Mens - Haven't worn much. They fit well.
Ulysses Mens - Have not worn them yet but top notch presentation.
Ulysses Mens - Absolutely amazing, good for those relaxing strolls at night or even a midnight jog
Ulysses Mens - fit and comfort excellent
Ulysses Mens - Dont know how durable will the rubber part be...
Ulysses Mens - Grat alternative to more bulky sandals and incredibly more versatile than flip flops.
Ulysses Mens - Good
Ulysses Mens - Nice colour and good fit.
Ulysses Mens - Very comfortable and my feet feel very stable in them, like they would in any of the other vivobarefoot shoes. It will be interesting to try a run in them when the weather gets better.
Ulysses Mens - Simple and strong feet can breath - not sure I will run in them though
Ulysses Mens - They are SO thick. Completly unlike anything i have ever bought from vivobarefoot. I cannot get them to fit mecomfortably. To have shoes like these i would have bought a pair of xeros and been done with it. These may as well say nike or Teva on the side.
Ulysses Mens - I was limited in both size and color selection - the version in black sold out long before the sale - I would have bought these in black (or brown, had they existed) at full price. Now that I got them on sale in grey/white, I can say they are excellent and due to the back-strap they stay on my feet and don't make a sound like flip-flops do. I wish the back strap was adjustable so they could be tightened - I really should have a half or whole size down to make these more snug, but with an adjustable strap they would be perfect. Please continue to have a sandal like this in your lineup, but make them adjustable and add more color choices (like dark brown).
Ulysses Mens - Excellent service and products!
Ulysses Mens - This sandals look and feel great. I feel like they run a bit larger but since I haven't run with them I can't tell if is for performance reasons.
Ulysses Mens - I own four pairs of size 13 (us) men's shoes and they all fit perfectly. The Ulysses was waaaaay too big!
Ulysses Mens - The silver is blue... Not good. Warm colors for light skin. (european...)
Ulysses Mens - They look awesome and were reasonably priced. Cannot wait for warmer weather to come so I can try them outdoors.
Ulysses Mens - The string rubs on my big toe. I think the texture is too rough.
Ulysses Mens - Does the job. The front of the sandal is susceptible to catching on slightly uneven ground.
Ulysses Mens - I had high expectations for this shoe but it was the only one that was so bad I actually sent back. The sandal was worthless functionally. It hung, swung and dangled from my foot when i picked it up. I expected the shoe to fit snugly or at least have the ability to adjust but it did not.
Ulysses Mens - The product is great. However, I will never purchase from VB again and will continue to share my experience. I owned 3 pairs of VB shoes prior to this purchase.
Ulysses Mens - Superb
Ulysses Mens - Really good, excellent distinctive design - a quality item
Ulysses Mens - Comfortable, but allows twisting of foot
Ulysses Mens - One of many vivobarefoot product I have purchased and up,to the usual quality standards
Ulysses Mens - Nice of you to ask, but you cancelled them from my order without even asking if I would accept another colour or wait for them to be in stock.
Ulysses Mens - Excellent
Ulysses Mens - Item went on sale a few days later but had to physically return goods and purchase again to get saving. This was not practical given overseas location. More flexibility needed when dealing with returns. Will no longer buy vivobarefoot product.
Ulysses Mens - great minimalist feel, style is excellent.
Ulysses Mens - Unfortunately the Ulysses shoe does not hold together long!
Ulysses Mens - the gobis are very comfortable. have not warn them much as it has snowed a lot since buying them. They are not good the cold and snow, nor were they intended for it.
Ulysses Mens - Fit perfect and no blisters after running a marathon.
Ulysses Mens - Seemed well built but were unsuitable for me so I returned them. Very easy, and quickly processed, returns.
Ulysses Mens - Excellent service!
Ulysses Mens - The most comfortable pair of "flip flops" I've ever worn. Not sure about the durability though.
Ulysses Mens - Simple and very comfortable shoe
Ulysses Mens - They are very good like all Vivo products once I got the size right.
Ulysses Mens - I have three other pairs of Vivobarefoot shoes and they fit perfectly. The Ulysses are hurting between toes. The size is right but I guess my feet aren't made for Ulysses.
Ulysses Mens - Possibly a little strap adjustment

Whether it's a parent, professor or employer, communicating with authority figures can be a challenge, as a certain level of respect and acknowledgement must be given. You may not always see eye-to-eye with your superiors but these tips will help you to keep the lines of communication as open and effective as possible.
One of the most important aspects of communicating with authority figures is having an appropriate attitude. No one will want to speak to you if you have a displeased look or closed-off body language. Knowing your surroundings and having a welcoming demeanor will make you appear more approachable; displaying confidence in what you have to say will win you points as well.
The method you use to communicate is also important. Email is a very convenient in that it allows us to get a message to someone quickly but with the convenience of this technology, many people do not practice proper "netiquette," which means using proper spelling, grammar and formal language rather than texting language. Being appropriate in your emails means not using emoticons and having a signature with your contact information. Communicating effectively with authority figures often relies on your level of maturity and this will help demonstrate it.
However expedient emails may be, sometimes phone calls or in-person meetings are necessary. Often when employers are considering candidates, someone who has sent an email may not seem as appealing as someone who has sent an email and followed up with a phone call. In-person conversations work better when the matter is important and is something that may be misconstrued in an email or phone conversation. An example would be if you need to speak to a professor about a grade you felt was unfair. Approach them as a concerned student who wants to know how to improve from the mistakes they cited, then explain why the errors don't seem wrong to you. A positive attitude will go a long way; you may be angry but verbally attacking the professor will make them far less likely to help you out.
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major at San Jose State University. She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

I recently lost someone close to me and cannot describe how I felt. The worst part was that it was unexpected and I was nowhere near home. When we are in school, we miss out on things that happen at home and sometimes losing someone is one of these unpleasant things. Often, we cannot go home or it is too late by the time that we get there but for this, all I can say is that it may be better that you have been left with the beautiful memories that you have.
Some things mean more to others than we can comprehend. People, pets and places can all be something that a person values. Losing a family member, friend, pet or home is never easy but remember that you need to go through the natural grieving process or you will never be able to move on. Remember your someone, all the good they've done and all the moments you've spent together and celebrate their life and the positive way they made you feel. And don't feel guilty for random moments of happiness: They're completely natural and the person you lost would not want you to live in sadness.
Loss is one of the most unpleasant things in life and when you experience it, it will be with you forever. Remember that you can rely on friends and family for comfort – they're grieving, too – and seek professional help if you need it. Know that it is okay to feel the way you do; let it make you a stronger person.

No two people are alike and neither are their beliefs. People have similarities and differences, grow up in different environments and have diverse experiences which shape their beliefs; when we are in college, people with diverse beliefs are brought together and thus students must be tolerant and respectful of the beliefs of others. It is not right to ridicule the beliefs of others or to impress our own beliefs upon them.
In college, people will have many different issues they are passionate about and we will take classes with these students and interact with them on a daily basis throughout our time in school. People will practice and believe in whatever is best for them and no one has the right to dictate otherwise. We may not believe in another religion over our own but does that make someone else's lesser? No, it does not and as citizens of a country where freedom is valued, people must respect that. People must be tolerant of is sexuality; homosexuality may not be your orientation but your beliefs should not cause others to suffer. Whether you believe the same or not isn't the issue and this mindset is especially useful when living on campus for the first time: Your roommate or neighbor could be 100-percent your opposite but respect for their beliefs and lifestyle will make for a more comfortable living arrangement and maybe even a lasting friendship.
In a time when the world is at odds and there are wars over petty issues, respecting beliefs of others is more important than ever. Can you imagine how many conflicts would end tomorrow if those fighting simply followed this advice? Argue for what you believe in – everyone is entitled to their own opinion – but just because you don't believe something doesn't mean you have the right to disrespect it. Be respectful of those around you and their beliefs – sometimes it's all we have.

Do you think your residence hall life is a little dull and in need of help...or so great that other schools could benefit from your programs? Either way, I have the perfect opportunity for you to let your voice be heard and maybe do some traveling. Ever heard of NACURH?
NACURH stands for the National Association of College and University Residence Halls and they are having a conference soon. At these conferences, you gain ideas to host different programs at your college, meet students from a wide array of schools and learn many new things. I personally haven't been to a NACURH conference yet but I attended a PACURH (Pacific Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls) conference at Washington State University in Pullman this past November and it was an amazing experience!
How do you get involved? I applied in September (the only requirement is that you live in university housing) and was selected as a delegate for San Jose State University. In the weeks leading up to the conference, we had many meetings to guide us through the tasks we had to accomplish and along with learning about new programs, delegates have to submit program ideas of their own – what a great way for you to share your ideas! Also, you have to show your school spirit so if you are proud of the college you attend, you can represent with school gear, chants and different competitions that will gain your delegation some points! The program I created for PACURH helped celebrate multiculturalism and was selected as a top 10 program – I was even able to present my program at the conference twice!
You won't get many opportunities like this to make a difference and learn something new while having the time of your life! If you're interested in NACURH or one of its affiliates, ask your residence hall government how you can get involved and start making a difference in residential life on your campus and beyond today!

One of the best resources that college can offer you (besides an education, of course) is the opportunity to find employment after graduation. There are programs dedicated to helping students in different career fields and at SJSU, one of these opportunities comes with the Bay Area Retail Leadership Center, or BARC.
BARC consists of SJSU students and faculty who have partnered up with those in the retail industry. Currently, the list of partners includes Target, Walgreens, Kohl's, Verizon Wireless, Ross, Nike and Walmart and students are able to interact with professionals at these companies and gain insight to what working for a retail corporation will be like while networking and getting potential job offers.
BARC offers a study tour during which students travel to different headquarters and main offices of these companies – an advantageous experience that happens only twice a year. Apart from this, BARC hosts conferences in which speakers present on different aspects of how to make it to the retail industry; internships are also offered. Just like with any networking opportunity, though, it is up to the student to make the most of these prospects in the end.
If there is a program like BARC at your college, take advantage of it – there are so many unexplored opportunities! – but if a program like this doesn't exist, speak with advisers and faculty to start one! It will be a great chance for you to launch a program that will not only help many individuals but will allow you to gain work experience and contacts in the professional world as well.

Job and internship fairs are students' gateways to life after graduation because they provide exposure to what employment and internship opportunities are really out there. In addition to perusing the booths and picking up some swag, college students can also network and make connections with potential employers...but only if they prepare correctly.
The first thing college students should realize is that the recruiters are taking time out of their work days to come to speak to you. Their time is valuable and students should not waste it. Find out what companies will be at the fair ahead of time and research what they are looking for. A recruiter will be more willing to speak to someone who knows about their company than someone with no background knowledge. By doing your homework, you'll show you are serious about your interest in working for this particular employer.
Second, dress professionally. Think of a job fair as a pre-interview: Recruiters will be turned off if you show up in informal attire, especially if they took the time to wear a suit. Leave the jeans, sneakers and college hoodies back at the dorm: Dressing professionally shows you are ready for the working world and committed to your goals.
Last but not least, have multiple copies of a polished resume with you. In the weeks leading up to the fair, bring your resume to your school's career center and have them help fix it up. Remember to list your work history in reverse chronological order and highlight only your most significant and important achievements. You can also tailor your resume to fit specific companies – a move that definitely won't go unnoticed.
These are the most important things I think college students should do when preparing for a job or internship fair but what's worked best for you?

Group projects are inevitable in college and at some point, you've probably been stuck with a group member who is uncooperative. This person doesn't do their fair share of work, doesn't show up to meetings or argues and causes tension in the group. While it's not fun to deal with, here's how to make the situation bearable for all members. After all, your grades depend on it!
Set up guidelines when you form the group. Create requirements and state the consequences of not completing the tasks assigned. Also, make sure to state at what point you will drop a member from the group; this is important to avoid carrying dead weight for the whole length of the course.
Approach the problematic member in a friendly manner: They may not realize that they're being uncooperative and it will prevent him or her from getting defensive. Ask them if they need help getting their assignments done or if the work is too much for them. In subtle manner, let them know that they need to participate more in the group to be fair to all the group members. People will be more willing to cooperate if they don't feel like they're being attacked.
If the person is still uncooperative, speak to your professor to avoid jeopardizing your grade and dealing with the stress of a hostile environment. Just be sure it's a group consensus and you've exhausted the other options because your professor will ask you about both before deciding on a course of action.
We'll encounter uncooperative individuals in college and beyond but instead of stressing out about it, remain calm and try to work the situation out. There is a solution out there – you may just need to come together as a group to find it!

Not all college students are able to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. If this sounds like you, don't worry: You can still get into the holiday spirit in your dorm. Many of you are probably wondering how to pull off a Thanksgiving feast when you don't have a kitchen and/or cooking skills but here's a little guide to help you:
Bon appétit, everyone!

Tattoos and facial piercings have become part of modern day society and college culture. There is nothing wrong with this – I myself have seven piercings (three in each ear and one in my nose) and a tattoo – but with these artistic choices can come consequences that we may not think of when we are younger and attempting to fit in.
Many members of older generations do not view tattoos and piercings the same way we do. To them, they are forms of rebellion, disrespect and, most importantly, decisions that make it increasingly difficult to build favorable professional reputations. If you have a facial piercing, interviewing with a professional organization is risky: Unless you have an exceptional resume and amazing skills, most employers won't take you seriously.
Visible tattoos are deal breakers for many employers as well, especially for those who work alongside customers and are constantly representing the company. Professional workplaces will not tolerate visible tattoos; if you have any but also have your heart set on a career with this kind of organization, you should cover them up. Though many offices have adopted more casual dress codes, visible tattoos are still a long way from being accepted and could hurt your chances of getting hired: If there's one position available and the other applicant has a cleaner cut appearance, you could lose out.
If you just have to get a tattoo or piercing, I am not going to try to stop you. Just remember that the choices you make now will affect you in the future.

It's a new year and we are all making resolutions to be healthy, not procrastinate, to do better in school or even get more sleep...but after a month or two, no one pays attention to their resolutions anymore. To really stick with your resolutions, slow lifestyle changes are the way to go. This way, you're able to fit the resolution into your existing schedule without a great deal of effort. Here are a couple of ways to I plan to make good on my resolutions.
I'd like to have a healthier lifestyle this year which means changing my diet and my exercise plan. I will start by evaluating items in my diet like junk foods; I won't eliminate them completely but I will begin incorporating healthier foods into my meals as sides. I'll also start with 15 minutes of exercise per day and increase that time by five minutes every other week. This will help me get into a good routine without going overboard.
Moderation will also help me with another resolution of mine: to do better in school. For example, I hardly ever watch T.V. as it is but I will make sure that I tune in only when I've finished all my studying and assignments. Take that, procrastination!
Lastly, I plan to set more deadlines for myself this year. By better managing my schedule, I'll be able to finish my schoolwork in an appropriate amount of time instead of waiting until the last minute to complete assignments. There are always unexpected circumstances popping up and my deadlines will allow time in my schedule to deal with them without sacrificing my studies.
Here's to a new year filled with positive, continuous change and even some college funding: Be sure to share your resolution with Scholarships.com through the latest Short & Tweet Scholarship!

Gaining ADR Exposure Through ETFs
American depositary receipts have been around since the late 1920s and are, in essence, stocks that trade on the U.S. exchanges and represent a fixed number of shares in a corporation domiciled outside of the United States. These securities are generally issued and sponsored in the U.S. by a bank or brokerage firm.
Initially ADRs were spawned because of investor interest in buying shares of companies that were based in foreign countries as a way to simplify the currency translations. Thus, ADRs are denominated in U.S. dollars. Similar to an ADR is a global depositary receipt, or GDR, which is issued in more than one country, not just in the U.S., as a means of investing in foreign-based companies. GDRs are generally denominated in either U.S. dollars or euros.
The exchange-traded fund industry has made great strides in offering a variety of options for investors looking for diversified exposure to ADRs. These options range from developed countries, to emerging markets, to frontier markets, as well as an actively managed ADR strategy that is due to launch shortly from AdvisorShares. One thing to keep in mind is that different index providers sometimes disagree on the definition of a developed, emerging, or frontier market (country), and that said, it's important for the investor to dissect exactly what country exposure he is receiving in each ETF as opposed to blindly relying on labels like "developed markets" or "emerging markets."
Let's examine a few of the available options and their individual nuances.
Developed Markets
Depending on whether you refer to FTSE Group, MSCI, Russell Global, BNY Mellon, or another index provider, you will get slightly varied lists of the "Developed Countries" in the world because each group's individual criteria differs somewhat. That said, you will see replication on these lists, such as countries like the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, France, and Germany. ETF options in the developed markets arena include: PowerShares BLDRS Developed Markets 100 ADR Index Fund (ADRD) tracks the BNY Mellon Developed Markets 100 ADR Index and has an "MSCI EAFE" perspective, with exposure to the United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, France, Spain, Germany, Australia, Netherlands, Italy, and others. PowerShares BLDRS Europe 100 ADR Index Fund (ADRU) is based on the BLDRS Europe 100 ADR Index, and owns ADRs from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Finland and interestingly Israel, even though most would not normally think of Israel being geographically part of Europe.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Piers Morgan wrapped his CNN news show on Friday night after three years on the air with a plea for stricter gun control laws.
Although he spent the majority of the one-hour program discussing missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370, the host dedicated the last minutes of "Piers Morgan Live" to gun legislation.
He cited 2012′s mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. and at a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colo. as reason for his pro-gun control stance. He also took a final dig at the National Rifle Association and critics who deem his position "anti-American."
"I assumed that after 70 people were shot in a movie theater and then, just a few months later, 20 first-graders were murdered with an assault rifle in an elementary school, the absurd gun laws in this country would change," he said. "But nothing has happened. The gun lobby in America, led by the NRA, has bullied this nation's politicians into cowardly, supine silence. Even when 20 young children are blown away in their classrooms. This is a shameful situation that has made me very angry."
He then asked the public to do its part to spur change.
"It's your country; these are your gun laws," he said. "And the senseless slaughter will only end when enough Americans stand together and cry: Enough!"
Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, Michael Smerconish and Bill Weir will fill in for Morgan during CNN's search for a new host. Morgan is currently in discussions with the network regarding a new position.
Morgan succeeded longtime CNN host Larry King in 2011. His show suffered from poor ratings from the onset, which the former U.K. newspaper editor attributed to audiences' disinterest in hearing a Brit weigh in American cultural issues.

EVEN as they brooded over their response to Russian aggression in Georgia, NATO's leaders endured a bad week on another front: Afghanistan. They had boasted that the Taliban insurgency was on the back foot. Its leadership had been shredded by systematic assassination, and it was reduced to murderous but desperate "asymmetric" tactics. Two big battles undermined this claim. Worse, the insurgents appear to be operating closer to Kabul.
Most serious for the resolve of the alliance was an ambush on French soldiers near the town of Sarobi, only some 50km (30 miles) outside Kabul. Some 100 insurgents were involved in just the sort of set-piece onslaught the insurgents were said to be shunning. Ten French soldiers were killed and 21 injured. President Nicolas Sarkozy flew to Kabul to pay his respects to the French dead, rally the troops and reaffirm France's commitment to the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan. But the war is unpopular in France. And François Hollande, leader of the opposition Socialist party, said France needed to know exactly what its troops were going to do in Afghanistan "and how long they are going to do it".
Britain's prime minister, Gordon Brown, also visited Afghanistan later in the week. He paid tribute to the latest of more than 100 British soldiers to die in the war, killed in a roadside bombing in Helmand province on August 18th. That day also saw a three-stage battle at Camp Salerno, an American base near the Pakistani border. It began with a car suicide-bombing, which killed 12 Afghan workers. Later suicide-bombers and conventional fighters mounted an all-night assault on the base; and another force attacked its airstrip.
Elsewhere the government claimed to have killed 32 insurgents in fighting in Zabul province, and Canadian troops came under suicide attack in the Panjwayi district of Kandahar. Kabul itself, meanwhile, suffered its second rocket attack in less than a week. One hit the airport and others fell close to allied headquarters.
The Senlis Council, an NGO long critical of NATO strategy in Afghanistan, said the latest fighting made it clear that a new troop deployment is needed simply to secure Kabul. Even if that overstates the immediate danger to the capital, the bloodshed raises serious questions for NATO. It is not just in France that the war is unpopular. It will become more so if it kills more NATO soldiers, and especially if the alliance appears to be losing it.

Am I the one really starting this thread? Tried looking for another one, but only found 12-13.
With that said, good win today, huh?
Mick will have the luxury all season of choosing an opposing player and having him not score. Titus Rubles is that good of a defender. Oh, and #JustinJacksonMeanFace played one of his better games today. Really solid performance after two silly fouls early in the 1st half.
They're going to be a solid team that will continue to improve as the youngsters get time on the court.
After a less than stellar start, I was impressed that the defense clamped down for most of the second half. They won't be top tier or anything, but I'd be surprised if that NC State finishes 10th in the ACC as the "experts" projected.
Rubles is a totally different player. You can tell he put in a lot of work since last season.
As usual I think we'll go through serious scoring droughts with this team, but we are going to be really hard to score on.
Other than putting the ball through the hoop, we're really good at this basketball stuff.
Getting tired of Cronin. He's never had a team that's played any offense at all. Part of that is poor coaching, the other is poor recruiting.
I'd be curious what would score more points in 40 minutes. Running offensive sets, or giving the ball to Kilpatrick and letting him throw up shots every possession.
Does anyone know where they sell these throwback Oscar Robertson jerseys I've been seeing on campus the past week? Looks like they're made by Adidas so they're not authentic throwbacks or anything.
Hey guys we won! If we hold all of our opponents in the 40's, I feel pretty good about our season!
Great defensive win. But can we please stop dribbling the ball around the 3 point line. We got to the line 3 times. And this is with the new touch foul rules. They get the ball and immediately dribble looking to pass instead of anything else. I used to think shaq was going to be awesome. I dont think that anymore. He cant make layups and he turns the ball over way too much. Sanders...i dont even know anymore. He used to be able to knock down a 3. Hes missed every open 3 hes taken the last few games...and by alot .Rubles should never take a jumper use the pump fake and continue to get inside. The bigs need to stop coming all the way out to the 3 point line to catch the ball. If you cant receive the ball around the free throw line go set a pick and try again. If you get the ball at the 3 point line you arent doing any good. You eventually just give it back to the guard who has to move further away from the basket to get the ball back. This is a Great Defensive team who relys on getting points off turnovers, but scoring other than that is hard to come by. Someone has to step up and make some shots...And with SK getting triple teamed hes doing all he can by giving to the open man. Sanders needs to knock down those shots. No excuse. TC might be the guy to carry this team on his back
Pitt with 11 field goals the entire game.
They out-Bearcatsed the Bearcats by going without a field goal for a stretch of 13:43.
Incredible. :eek:
Aw yea nice win today!
Bearcats topple #18 Memphis on the road by a 69-53 margin. Nice. I will be in the building on Tuesday against the Houston Cougars. Houston just knocked off UConn a couple of nights ago at home, so it should be an interesting contest.
As a Xavier fan I can't believe the lack of interest from Bearcat fans this year. You all have a very nice team. Maybe this win will get some people on the bandwagon.

Nik Wallenda completed his tightrope walk across the Little Colorado Sunday, a gorge repeatedly referred to as "near the Grand Canyon." What was often left out is that the gorge is on Navajo Nation land and that the nearby Hopi people, who hold the area as a site of sacred importance, strongly objected to the stunt.
The nearby Hopi claim they were never consulted about the walk, despite an agreement between the tribes to honor religious sites. "The Gorge and the Canyon are not about taking lives," Leigh Kuwanwisiwma, director of the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office, told the news outlet Indian Country Today. "We were told that this guy is not wanting to wear a safety harness. What if he does fall? It's another cultural dilemma for the Hopi people."
Wallenda worked with Navajo Nation after the National Park Service refused to grant access to the Grand Canyon. Representatives of the service claimed that events "must not unreasonably impair the park's atmosphere of peace and tranquility," noting that stunts "don't meet that [criteria]."
Wallenda spent more than 10 months seeking clearance to perform on Navajo Nation land, and his team agreed to clean up the remnants of Philippe Petit's unsuccessful attempt to cross the gorge in 1988 as well as to construct a paved road and parking lot—paid for by NBC—into the previously inaccessible area in return for permission.
"I have been praying for improvements to Little Colorado River Navajo Tribal Park ever since I started," Navajo Nation Park Manager Helen Webster announced. "It is amazing to know just how many people from throughout the world will be able to catch a glimpse of our beautiful Navajo culture. After they see the video, I hope they will want to visit the Navajo Nation."
JaJa Tests Positive for EPO
Doped for 1998 Tour de France
Samples taken from former French pro cyclist Laurent Jalabert during the 1998 Tour de France have tested positive for EPO. While the tests were carried out in 2004, they were done on anonyous samples. Now, the French Senate has authorized that the names of the cyclists be released to the public.
Jalabert's doping history comes as no surprise. He was part of the ONCE team, led by Manolo Saiz, recently involved in the Operación Puerto investigation. Last year, the rider affectionately known as JaJa said he couldn't firmly deny doping while testifying before the French Senate.
"I can't firmly say that I've never taken anything illegal. I've effectively used products when it was necessary, in case of lesions or other injuries," Jalabert testified. "At ONCE, in the evening after the stages, the doctor took care of us, for our recovery, but we didn't really know what it was. A relationship with doctors based on mutual trust was established, so we didn't ask questions. We were treated, I've never said otherwise. Were we doped? I believe we weren't … "
During his career, Jalabert won the Vuelta a Espana as well as the pints classification in all three grand tours.

Mountaineers Leave Nanga Parbat
Following deadly terrorist attack
Alpinists are leaving Nanga Parbat in Pakistan after a terrorist attack at the mountain's Diamir Face base camp left 10 people dead and more injured.
According to the blog Altitude, at least five parties had cancelled or abandoned their expeditions as of Monday morning, including an international expedition led by Alexandra Dzik that lost a team member, Lithuanian Ernest Marksaitis, in the attack.
Saturday's incident, for which a Taliban faction named Junoodul Hifsa has taken responsibility, hasn't driven every climbing party from Nanga Parbat. According to Planetmountain, as of Sunday, a Romanian team was continuing its expedition on the Rupal Face, located on the other side of the peak.

Nude Survival Show 'Not Exploitative,' Says Producer
Trying to create authentic experience
When the public received word of the Discovery's new all-nude reality survival show, Naked and Afraid, many accused the formerly-education-based channel of low-level pandering and exploitation. What other reason could there be for such gratuitous displays of flesh than to compete in a hyper-sexualized TV market?
Salon's TV writer Willa Paskin sat down with Denise Contis, executive producer of the show—which premiered last night—to ask her just what they were thinking.
On the origins of the show's primary hook (nudity):
I think what we were always looking to do with the producers was develop the ultimate survival show, and a survival show where our cast of survivalists really had to rely on their body and their brain. What's the quintessential survival show that allows for that? So really it was just looking and developing that and this is where we went with it.
On whether any of the contestants objected to their bits being on TV:
No, they really embraced the really kind of authentic, pure nature of the survival aspect of the show, and what we all found really interesting was, once they hit the ground, once they're on location, within minutes, it's irrelevant to them that they were naked, completely irrelevant, not a plot point. They were in survival mode. Their focus quickly shifted: I need to get food, I need to get water, I need to get shelter.
On whether she considers the nudity to be exploitative:
Well, we didn't develop the show to be exploitative, ever. We always developed it with our filter being "how do we protect and it make it a pure survival experience?" And to your original question, could we have given them shoes? Yeah. And try to remember, too, each person can bring one item. I mean it's interesting the items they bring. One person brought goggles, which I find fascinating, because he knew he was going to be by the ocean. Another person, very wisely, brought a very small cup, because they knew they had to boil water. One person brought a machete. What's interesting is, nobody brought clothes. Nobody brought shoes.

Your Dog is Your Baby, Says Science
Study finds very similar behavior
Your baby and your dog may have more in common than the need to move on all fours, says a new study in PLoS One. It seems that both canines and human infants are actually quite similar in how they depend on their overseers, both for food and emotional support.
Lisa Horn of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, conducted an experiment in which a group of dogs could earn treats by interacting with certain dog toys. The experiment was carried out in several different conditions: One scenario in which the dog owner was absent, one while the owner was present but silent, and one while the owner was present and encouraging.
Horn and her cohorts found that whenever the owner was absent, the dogs became disinterested in working for treats, even when a stranger was present to encourage them.
The team called this the "secure base effect," the presence of food, shelter, and love that allows a being to feel secure enough to explore even in unfamiliar surroundings. It is, according to Horn, the same psychological connection that exists between humans and their own infants.
"The study provides the first evidence for the similarity between the 'secure base effect' found in dog-owner and child-caregiver relationships," says Horn. "It will be really interesting to try to find out how this behavior evolved in the dogs with direct comparisons."

Could you sign my guitar?
Can I take a picture with a rock star?
Your face wallpapers my walls
Here's my number when you're in town give me a call
I know I don't know you, but I'm in love
The bad reviews kills me 'cause I know what you're made of
I have ten copies of you on the cover
When I went to see you, got a ride from my mother
Your CD singles comfort my ears
Your unplugged songs bring me to tears
I see your video in my dreams
Can I shake your hand? You're totally supreme

Cyber-Relationship Addiction: Signs & Symptoms
There are different types of addictions, some more serious than others. Hard core addictions to things like drugs and alcohol are clearly the most severe and warrant cause for concern.
On the flip side, there are people that consider themselves addicts to things like coffee, eating and shopping. While not as serious, these do qualify as addictions all the same to a certain extent. There is even such a thing as being addicted to the Internet. That should be no surprise, as the numbers of online users continues to grow each year.
Social media, online poker sites and other interactive Internet activities, have undoubtedly added to the long list of reasons why so many willingly spend hours each day in a virtual setting. Cyber-relationship addiction is a term that you might not be familiar with but it is recognized as an addiction and could be one you may not even be aware of suffering from.
What is Cyber-Relationship Addiction?
This condition is considered a sub-category of what is more widely recognized as Internet Addiction Disorder, also known as IAD. By definition, cyber-relationship addiction or "CRA" describes a person who engages in online behavior, such as online chatting, messaging and social networking to a point where the user begins to place more value on fostering and maintaining their online relationships than on their real-world interactions with friends, family and other loved ones.
In a nutshell, a person suffering from CRA would rather spend their time with virtual friends and relationships than with those same individuals or others offline.
What Are the Signs of Cyber-Relationship Addiction?
Because engaging in online activities is so commonplace in today's society, it can be difficult to tell the difference between what is considered "healthy" and "unhealthy" Internet use. However, there are some key signs that could point to CRA:
- Spending countless hours online without realizing it
- Allowing your Internet use to interrupt your daily routine
- Failing to complete tasks or other priorities because you'd rather be on the Internet
- Finding more satisfaction by being online than other activities or hobbies that used to produce those same feelings of satisfaction
- Feelings of anxiety or suffering from panic attacks when not online
- Having trouble interacting or relating to friends and family in real life
- Changing your lifestyle/routine in order to allow for more time online
Based on those signs, it's easy to see how disruptive cyber-relationship addiction can be to a person's life.

Full user review
"Version 7.0 is Horrible!!!"
None: Completely unusable as a route map. Can't transfer information from Google Maps online.
7.0 runs with the globe missing (transparent with yellow lines). After trying many suggestions to fix it, I downgraded back to 6.2,
You, also, cannot alter the route such as Google Maps -AND- you cannot transfer any information back and forth between the two. All I wanted to do was plot a trip and it was impossible!! Google's extraordinarily lame answer was to plot each section of the trip separately. If I wanted to plot it all by hand, I'd by a real paper map and a highlighter.Summary
v7.0 terrible.
v6.2 barely usable as long as you don't need to do anything crazy like include side trips.

Has anyone got any tips on how to spot an ulcer early?
There is a horse down the stables that managed to cut her offside hind, inside of leg, level with the hock a few weeks ago (I only heard about and saw it today), the girls have been applying bandages and antiseptic ( ) cream but from what I saw it didn't exactly look as if it was healing!
The wound itself is from what I could see today a flesh wound although obviously it may have been a laceration that has started to spread, it is about 5cm x 5cm in size and as it has been there a few weeks I am concerned that it maybe starting to ulcerate - basically on the hock I know that is most certainly NOT what we want to happen.
I should hopefully be taking a picture of it tomorrow to show my vet and I might as well put it up here to see what you all advise. The owner is a bit of a cheapskate and of the 'old school' and so I need to get as much evidence as possible to convince him that the vet is a good idea.

Pols back new rules in wake of NECC flap
Pols back new rules in wake of NECC flap
Top lawmakers defended the need for stricter state oversight of compounding pharmacies after trade groups took potshots yesterday at new regulations adopted by the state Board of Registration in Pharmacy in the wake of a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak.
"There is a need on both the state and federal levels for the tightening of ... loopholes," said state Sen. Susan Fargo, co-chairwoman of the Joint Committee on Public Health. "The reputations for compounding pharmacies have really been injured. ... A little more sunlight never hurts."
