Trust me. I used a Magnezone, and it wrecked
Why not switch them, that way you can actually see them in the other version.
Swoobat isn't a particularly good flier (and I mean good at literally flying, not that it's a bad Flying type or can't use Fly or anything), plus it's not exactly that graceful. That's why it doesn't fit Skyla. I'll admit, it's kind of a minor thing, but it kind of bothers me that they'd keep this thing and get rid of the one Pokemon on her team that does fit that team (Unfezant).
Quite honestly there are many Pokemon that don't suit the gym leaders. I just don't really think about it like that. I just think about how it contributes to the challenge

Look at Skyla's final would tournament team. That's basically where they put what fits her: Swanna, Jumpluff, Drifblim, Archeops, Braviary, Mandibuzz
The question remains as to why they didn't stick one of those on her new team? Even a Rufflet/Vullaby would have been perfect over Swoobat because it would have given the player a pokedex sighting.

Because they're significantly weaker

Idk I just find that Swanna of hers makes it easy to defeat because it gets rid of her grass resistance and makes it 4x weak to Electric
It also however, gives her something to counter Rock types, and Swanna takes neutral damage from Ice type moves. If someone goes in not planning to use Electric types and instead using Rock or Ice, then they'll probably have a harder time with Swanna. Plus Swanna could still give an Electric type some trouble, they take neutral damage against Water moves(Pure Electric types at less), Swanna could out-speed the opposing Pokemon and get a critical hit in.

Well, yeah. Not needing to trade for Mandibuzz/Vullaby and Braviary/Rufflet means one less potential interaction. Needing to trade for them is one more potential interaction (in other words, increased interaction). It may not seem like much with the presence of the GTS, but for those who don't have Wi-fi access, it's quite the leap.

Wrapping up the A's Series with a Photo Finish
I suppose I should add an addendum to my Support Your Starting Pitchers plea from the other day. Run support that doesn't materialize until the 9th inning a) typically does not qualify as supporting your starting pitcher, though I do applaud giving plenty of love to the bullpen too and, b) only really counts if you can actually pull off the win at that point. Scoring early and often is the better way to go – it supports the whole pitching staff equally. I know, I know. If only it were that easy!
So, Thursday. Ugh. What to say? Brett Anderson was on. The Angels' bats were off. Joel Pineiro didn't have his greatest start. And the A's bats were on. It wasn't a terrible game, but it was hardly a recipe for a win. And so we split the series with the A's, Texas and Seattle did similar things with the ends of their week and less than two games separated the last place team from the first place team in the division heading into Friday's games. And that's just the way it is in the Wild, Wild AL West this season – a little frustrating and very, very exciting! Praise the Angels and pass the defibrillator.
And because I didn't like Thursday's game and I'm not liking this evening's game much at all so far – which we are watching on delay so Seth can see every pitch too per the Friday Night Ritual – Let's take a step back to Wednesday's game. I was there. It rocked! Games like Thursday where things are okay but just not quite good enough are going to happen a fair number of times in a season. Here's hoping that the Angels can play more like they did on Wednesday for the rest of this road trip!
So, Wednesday Ervin Santana was his controlled, nasty best – six strike outs and only one earned run (with six hits and two walks so many thanks to the Angels stellar defense too!)…
…Which means that a lot of A's batters looked like Daric Barton here, looking back almost confused as the umpire prepares to call a strike:
…Here Josh Willingham finds himself in similar straights:
Of course, Willingham did walk that at-bat and then successfully stole second base, but it was a close play – short stop Erick Aybar waits for Hank Conger's throwdown:
Our seats were front row of the upper deck again but only a section behind 1st base this time, so I could see into the Angels dugout which was fun for a change. I didn't take too many pictures of that. I prefer to watch the game, but I did like this one – Jered Weaver and Dan Haren obviously sharing a joke about something, with Tyler Chatwood intent on the game beside them. Perhaps they are saying "Wow, run support. I thought that was only a myth.":
Of course, this means our seats were right above the A's dugout. I like this one too because it makes one wonder what they're talking about. "Hey, Coco. How far did Torii hit that ball?" "It went far Andy. All the way over there.":
Mark Trumbo dives back to first to avoid the tag from Daric Barton. I'm of two minds about the recent acquisition of Russel Branyan and Trumbo is the reason. On the plus side, Branyan fits in well with the team and could be a nice big bat in our lineup – though based on his batting average it does seem as if he hits homeruns or nothing at all. And he's cheap, so if he doesn't work out we can easily release him. But I don't want to see Trumbo get any less playing time. He's slumping a little bit at the plate at the moment, but he'll heat up again and I really, really like his reflexes, glove and intelligence at first:
This game also saw scrappy utility player Reggie Willits get his first hit for the season (two swings after this one) and a crucial early sacrifice bunt as well. Reggie spent most of Spring Training and part of April on the DL for hamstring issues and has taken awhile to get back into the swing of things…so to speak. Peter Bourjos, in the on deck circle behind Reggie, also snapped a hitless streak Wednesday:
Rookie Alexi Amarista takes a nice swing. Playing second for the evening, Amarista had a heck of a game too. He went two for three at the plate and his uniform is quite clay covered in this photo from diving all over the field playing a very acrobatic human ball trap all night – yet another Angels rookie I am thrilled to have on the team this season. I wish I had photos of his diving catches at second:
Jordan Walden and Rich Thompson warm up in the bullpen. Hats off to the bullpen this game! Scott Downs had another great outing. I love having him on the team this season and am instantly reassured when I hear 8 Second Ride start to play and know he' striding up to the mound. Rodney also had a nice outing. Apparently the key is to start warming up another reliever the second he walks someone:
Jordan Walden on the mound. Believe it or not, this was the first time I have seen Walden pitch live. For better or worse depending on the game, I have not been present for any save situations this season. Very, very impressive! Walden changed his walk-up music for this homestand. He used to emerge from the bullpen to the classic guitar riff from Smoke on the Water now it's Robb Zombie's Dragula. I love Deep Purple, but I have to say I approve. Robb Zombie is a little more bad ass, which is what this young closer is rapidly becoming:
I don't have any good Torii Hunter photos from the game itself, which is a shame because he had a great game between the homerun (immediately followed by a homerun from Alberto Callaspo!) and a couple of great plays in right that are just so many blurs on my camera. So we'll go with this photo of his much deserved post-game interview:

Great game and great pics. I really like your seats, and will stand by the upper deck 'til the end. Great point about Rodney, too. They used to do that to him in Detroit.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Thanks Mike! I can really see the benefit of upper deck seats, especially right on one of the bases. You have a great vantage for everything. Ah hah. I figured you had to have a way to deal with him in Detriot…other than foisting him off on us of course. ;)
Nice review of the game and I love the pictures. I was in the first row of the upper deck Wed night in Wrigley. But it didn't look like your game. It was cold, raining and the Cubs lost. I would have preferred to be in the Big A watching the home team win
Thanks Russel! We have been having fun with the camera at the games. I wouldn't like to be in the upper deck in the rain either though and losses are never fun where ever you are. Wednesday was not a good day for Cubs, but your guys made up for it the next night.
— Kristen
Ah, baseball in California!!!
—Mark Gauthier
Mark – What? The good weather, the tug-o-war for first or just the sheer awesomeness of the game? ;)
— Kristen
Great pics and great recap! Nice to see Torii still makin' plays. He was a joy to watch during his Twins' trips to the Chi. I miss seein' him!
Jeff – Thanks! Yeah, Torii's still got it the vast majority of the time. There are ocassionally gaffs like in Seattle (though that did follow a patented Torii Hunter OMG! catch a few innings prior) and he is still learning how to play the corner in most ballparks with improving results, but Torii is still Torii and having his arm that much closer to the plate? Do you feel lucky baserunner. Well, do ya?
— Kristen
Love the photos! And I love Dan Haren's "musings", lol. I always wonder what they talk about down there ;)
Thanks Catherine! Oh to be a fly on the wall in the dugout rather than just making up my own goofy scenarios about what they might be talking about. :)
— Kristen
Fantastic photos! Love the A's dugout one. Its fun to speculate on what the guys are talking about. I think a large percentage of good hitting probably comes from lil pow wow just like that one.
Thanks Invariably Baseball! Yeah, I can't help but specualte about what they're talking about in the dugout or on the field. I usually lean towards the funny/snarky, but you're closer to the mark I'm sure, especially with the great hitting A's group in that photo. It was a good series and I'm looking forward to the July series in Oakland. I'm going to the double header with friends and can't wait!

Lincecum, McAllister facing unfamiliar foes
Interleague matchup puts both pitchers in new territory
Tim Lincecum hopes that his first career appearance against the Indians will be more like a repeat performance. Zach McAllister is hoping his first career outing against the Giants is just a continuation of what has been a strong month.
Lincecum's coming off his initial win of 2014, a three-run, six-inning effort Sunday at San Diego. The right-hander left the game after yielding Nick Hundley's seventh-inning leadoff homer. As he has all season, Lincecum displayed improved command while striking out seven and walking three. He has 24 strikeouts and only four walks in 21 innings this season.
"I was just trying to do my best to elongate my outing," Lincecum said. "Attack the zone, be aggressive and see what happens. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way things went."
Lincecum has no desire to be the rotation's weak link as he strives to keep up with the three starters ahead of him in San Francisco's pecking order: Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain and Tim Hudson.
"That's something we've always had with the Giants, built-in competitiveness," said the two-time Cy Young Award winner. "Between pitchers, we're trash-talking, but it's all in good fun. It's nice to have that as a staff, the continuity to build off each other.
If Lincecum finds a contemplative moment Saturday, he might allow himself to wonder how his career might have unfolded with Cleveland instead of San Francisco. The Indians selected him in the 42nd round of the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, but he opted to remain at the University of Washington.
Friday, Lincecum acknowledged that he wasn't ready to leave school, though he respectfully let the Indians have their say.
"I just felt like I didn't want to sell myself short of my junior year," he said.
McAllister, who has been a stable arm within the Tribe's up-and-down rotation, improved to 3-0 on the season with a win over the Royals on Monday. The big right-hander logged six innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits. Over his past three outings, McAllister has spun a tidy 1.37 ERA with 13 strikeouts against three walks across 19 3/2 innings.
"This is a young kid still that I think is enjoying the responsibility and the challenges of getting better," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He came into camp and he was throwing the ball so well, and he had that downward plane on his fastball. Then he kind of lost it a little bit toward the end of spring, and he's kind of recovered through hard work and with [pitching coach Mickey Callaway].
"He feels good about himself, and he should. If you're around Zach for five minutes, he desperately wants to be so good."
Indians: Johnson waiting his turn
Versatile Indians utility man Elliot Johnson can play every infield and outfield position. He gives the Tribe a switch-hitter off the bench, can serve as a pinch-runner and is also Cleveland's emergency catcher. Manager Terry Francona loves having Johnson on his bench, but the utility man had not appeared in a game since April 11 prior to a pinch-hit at-bat Friday.
"I understand," Johnson said. "This isn't Little League. It's not about making sure everybody participates. It's about winning and that's all that really matters. You're not going to see me complain and you're not going to see me whine. I'm going to be the same guy, even if i happen to get in and get a couple hits, or if i don't get hits, whatever. I'm going to be the same guy."
Giants: Pagan's knee being monitored
San Francisco center fielder Angel Pagan was back in the ineup Friday, but manager Bruce Bochy said the club is monitoring the outfielder's right knee issues. An MRI exam revealed a small, chronic tear of Pagan's patella tendon, though Bochy said the ailment is not as significant as the bruised knee recently sustained by the outfielder.
"If you looked at a lot of players," Bochy said, "you would find a lot of small tears somewhere."
Worth noting
• Indians manager Terry Francona gave Carlos Santana (Cleveland's regular third baseman and backup catcher) the nod behind the plate for Friday's opener against the Giants at AT&T Park. Francona said starting catcher Yan Gomes will start Saturday and Sunday.
• The Giants have sold out their last 256 regular-season home games, the longest active streak in the Majors. They're one sellout shy of equaling the Phillies, who sold out 257 consecutive games from July 7, 2009 to Aug. 5, 2012.
• Entering the series in San Francisco, Cleveland's bullpen had stranded a Major League-best 32 of 35 (91.4 percent) inherited runners this season. The Tribe's bullpen ranked third in the American League in ERA (2.74) and opponents' average (.214).

Yes there is. A baby must be at least 8 days old before we can accept him/her on to one of our flights, due to the physical effects of flying at high-altitude. Therefore, please note that we would always advise the newborn's parents or guardians to ensure that the treating doctor agrees to him/her travelling by air.
Similarly, the baby's mother can be accepted for travel from 48 hours after the birth of her baby subject to having delivered without any complications or surgery. If a caesarean section was performed or if surgery was needed for the mother then the minimum period before we could accept her for travel would be 10 days.

Archer, Rays face Giants after stellar July
San Francisco's Bumgarner to welcome Tampa Bay into August
Chris Archer might be the most disappointed player in baseball with the calendar flip from July to August.
The Rays starter finished July with a 4-0 record and 0.73 ERA. He finished the month by tossing a two-hit shutout at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
He'll look to keep up that pace in Friday's series opener against the Giants in St. Petersburg.
Archer's performance represents a trend for the Rays' staff in recent weeks that has led to the club's surge to a neck-and-neck division battle with the Red Sox.
"Right now, it's a combination of me being myself and the information that [pitching coach Jim] Hickey gives me," Archer said. "He tells me what the go-to pitch is for certain hitters. Otherwise, he wants me to pitch to my strengths."
The Rays rotation has tossed seven complete games in their past 20 outings. That number is more than any other team has this season, and no other American League team has more than four. The last team to record seven complete games in a span of 19 games was the 1988 Dodgers, who had eight.
"It's incredible," Archer said. "It just goes to show how important not forcing anything upon anyone is and trusting the decisions made by the people in the organization. At some point in the season, everyone has had doubts about somebody on the starting five. To be where we are, everything worked out as planned."
Meanwhile, Madison Bumgarner will be on the hill for the Giants. He also had an amazing July. Brilliant in two starts since the All-Star break, the left-hander has allowed just one run in his last 15 innings.
Bumgarner has also lasted at least seven innings in each of his past eight starts, including a no-decision in his last outing against the Cubs. He tossed eight innings on Saturday, allowing only four hits and striking out seven.
"I felt really good today," Bumgarner said after the outing. "Everything seemed to be working pretty good. Buster [Posey] caught a great game."
Bumgarner is 6-4 with a 3.25 ERA on the road this season and has never faced the Rays.
Giants: Zito could be bumped from rotation
San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy wouldn't commit to Barry Zito making his scheduled start on Sunday against the Rays.
"I'll have something to announce [Friday] as far as the rotation," Bochy said.
He said Thursday that Zito could be in relief duty that night, but downplayed the development by saying that other starters would also be "live" in the bullpen. Zito did not pitch out of the bullpen in the Giants' 2-1 win over the Phillies.
Zito is 4-8 with a 5.09 ERA in 21 starts this season, including 0-7, 9.97 in nine road assignments. The Giants are 2-8 in the last 10 games started by Zito, who's 0-5 with a 6.66 ERA in that span.
Rays: No team hotter in July than Tampa Bay
• Tampa Bay hopes to extend its July success into August. Before Wednesday's loss to the D-backs, the Rays had won 23 of 27 games, marking the first time a club had won that many in a 27-game stretch since the 2005 Oakland A's went 23-4. Since 2000, only eight teams have accomplished that feat. The Rays enter this series 6-1 at home in Interleague Play this season and 10-2 overall.
• Outside of the stellar starting pitching, rookie Wil Myers has erupted for the Rays' offense. Since the All-Star break, he leads the Majors with a .447 batting average, and his 12 RBIs are one short of the Major League lead. He enters the series against the Giants with a 12-game hitting streak.
Worth noting
• This series marks the first time the Giants have visited Tampa Bay since they lost two of three to the then-Devil Rays in 2004. Overall, San Francisco is 3-3 against the Rays in Interleague Play.
• The Giants have the lowest winning percentage in baseball since May 14, when they traveled to Toronto. San Francisco is just 25-44 (.362) during that time.

I didn't know nVidia was involved with the Khronos Group, but seeing that explains a lot about why the CAD/workstation group seems to have a predominate position when it comes to OGL architectural decisions. Big bucks in that segment...certainly more than in gaming for Linux.
It makes sense that there is no linux OpenGL 3.0 driver yet. There is still one part missing: a means to get an OpenGL 3.0 context. At the very least, we'll have to wait until that functionality is added either to a updated specification of GLX or as a new GLX extension. This is handled in Windows via the WGL_ARB_create_context extension.

On the Razzle
When their boss goes out of town for the day, two country grocery store clerks close up shop and "escape" to the big city of Vienna for an adventure they won't soon forget!
Based on the play that also inspired Hello Dolly, the production is a fast-paced farce complete with slapstick shenanigans, mistaken identities, misdirected orders and romantic complications all combined with trademark Tom Stoppard wit and wordplay!

Gallery: Heather Kocsis' Intriguing 3-D Dioramas Let You Peer into Tiny...
The Places Where We Live, oil on wood, 21" x 48 ½" x 6", 2010.
Most of the wood Kocsis uses to create her pieces is salvaged or given to her by others. Any wood that is dry and in good shape is utilized. She admits that she uses new materials for her bases since the integrity of the works hinge on having proper bases.
Though inspired by actual architecture seen by Kocsis, who is based in Ontario, during trips to New York City, her artworks are not mere replicas of street scenes or buildings. By distorting proportions and skewing perspectives, she is able to achieve a sense of movement and dynamism that lends itself particularly well to a subject like the Big Apple. The 3-D quality of the pieces also allows viewers to experience multiple works of art in one by simply moving around it and changing their own vantage point.
"The experience of viewing my work brought people back to a particular time and place," writes Kocsis on her website. "Even if they were not familiar with the exact building it reversed them to similar buildings they would pass by everyday, on their way to perform the ordinary and simple routine of life. The buildings or architectural elements I choose to depict are not always grand buildings, however they are the buildings where the products of our culture have been produced, where the everyday occurrence of taking a dream and creating a product to exist in our reality occurs."
If you are in New York, a selection of Kocsis' works can be seen at the Architectural Digest Design Show at Booth M192 from March 22-March 24.

THIS is disgusting:Daniel Hernandez Jr., the former intern who provided lifesaving first aid to Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords after she was shot in 2011, has become the target of an anti-gay smear campaign seeking to remove him from a Tuscon-area school board.
After his time working with Giffords, Hernandez continued his public service as an elected board member of the Sunnyside Unified School District, but is now facing a recall effort being fueled by an anonymous, anti-gay campaign.
As Right Wing Watch notes, Hernandez is openly gay, and fliers being circulated to constituents attempt to use his sexuality against ...

Realizing Rights was founded in 2002 by Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland (1990-1997) and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (1997-2002). Our mission was to put human rights standards at the heart of global governance and policy-making and to ensure that the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable are addressed on the global stage.
From 2002 to 2010, we worked with a range of partners on diverse projects and initiatives. We identified five critical global challenges to address:
Realizing Rights aimed to show how using the lens of climate justice, and incorporating principles and tools of human rights to guide policy and practical responses to climate change, is an essential aspect of climate change policy work at the global and national level. Ultimately, a justice and human rights framework can provide us with a compass to chart the course of climate change responses, and a set of tools that operate at all levels between and within nations.
Partners continuing this important work:
[dvteam max='99' categoryid='31' gridstyle='square' offset='20' itemwidth='300′ side='right']
Realizing Rights worked with the United Nations Global Compact, the UN Special Representative on Business and Human Rights, the Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights and other efforts to put human rights squarely on the CR agenda.
Partners continuing this important work:
[dvteam max='99' categoryid='30' gridstyle='square' offset='20' itemwidth='300′ side='right']
Promoting the Decent Work agenda and greater job opportunities for the most disadvantaged was the raison d'etre of our partnerships with a range of organizations. Our partners will continue to carry out this important work in the years to come.
Realizing Rights focused on cultivating political leadership and developing new tools of accountability at all levels to ensure increased access to health care services, particularly in Africa. We promoted innovative policy actions in areas such as health workforce capacity, health financing, donor assistance for health and women's health.
Realizing Rights supported the Women Leaders Intercultural Forum and other endeavours that strengthen women's leadership. At all levels, this facilitated greater collective action to increase global security, and increase the participation of women in global policy forums.

The program looks at the enormous strides Jordan has made in healthcare, literacy, and democratic and economic reform as well as the challenges it faces from a lack of natural resources, environmental concerns, and economic and social issues. Students also consider the impact of Palestinian, Iraqi, and Syrian immigrants and refugees, who now make up more than two-thirds of the nation's population. Students learn or greatly advance their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in Modern Standard Arabic.
My time in Jordan led to me working with Iraqi refugees for the last year, and now I'll be starting a new career as a foreign service officer. Both came about in part from what I learned and experienced in Jordan.
Daniel Acker, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Being in the heart of the Middle East, students are able to examine Jordanian government and society as they negotiate the underpinnings of the Arab Spring and ensuing political change in neighboring countries.
Students examine development projects on-location and discuss needs and operations with local experts and policy makers.
Two homestays — an extended urban stay in Amman and a shorter rural stay with a Bedouin family — allow students to practice their Arabic language skills and offer the dramatic contrast necessary to contextualize modernization and social change in urban and rural Jordan.
Students spend the last month of the program working on an Independent Study Project (ISP) in which they conduct primary research on a selected topic. The ISP is conducted in Amman or in another approved location in Jordan appropriate to the project.
Sample topic areas include:
The program's thematic seminar introduces key aspects of modernization and social change in Jordan. Lectures and excursions introduce students to the history and politics of Jordan, the rapid transformation of land and technology, shifting identities and roles within Jordanian culture, modernity and gender questions, economic and social development practices and regulations, immigration, media, and religion. The language course accommodates any level of Arabic language ability, and the course includes a focus on the Jordanian colloquial dialect.
Links to syllabi below are from current and forthcoming courses offered on this program. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
Modernization and Social Change – syllabus
(MDES 3000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
An interdisciplinary course conducted in English, with required readings, examining the major national and international forces shaping contemporary Jordan, including the rapid transformation of land and technology, shifting identities and gender roles, economic and social development practices and regulations, immigration, youth, media, and religion. Resources utilized in the delivery of course content include the University of Jordan, Yarmouk University, the Ministry of Social Development, and the Ministry of Political Development.
Beginning Modern Standard Arabic – syllabus
(ARAB 1000–1500 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
Intermediate Modern Standard Arabic – syllabus
(ARAB 2000–2500 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
Intermediate High/Advanced Modern Standard Arabic – syllabus
(ARAB 3000–3500 / 6 credits / 90 class hours)
Emphasis on speaking, reading, and writing skills in Modern Standard Arabic through classroom and field instruction. Students are placed in intensive beginning, intermediate, or advanced classes based on in-country evaluation, including oral proficiency testing. There is further language practice in homestays and field visits. A component on Jordanian Colloquial Arabic is also part of the course.
Research Methods and Ethics – syllabus
(ANTH 3500 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
A qualitative research design course designed to provide an overview of methodological field study approaches within the local cultural context, affording students the tools necessary to conduct field research in Jordan. This course not only introduces field-based research skills (such as interviewing, and participant and non-participant observation), but also strengthens students' cultural awareness through exercises and discussions about student positionality and the ethics of field work in Jordan. Research ethics and the Human Subjects Review process form a core component of the course. The dual focus on research methods and ethics prepares students for successful completion of primary field research in Jordan for the Independent Study Project.
Independent Study Project – syllabus
(ISPR 3000 / 4 credits / 120 class hours)
Conducted in Amman or another approved location in Jordan appropriate to the project. Sample topic areas: the Jordanian political system; Jordan's foreign policy; the Arab Spring, refugees, nongovernmental organizations, and the Jordanian internal arena; state power and the regulation of Islam; gender and forms of sexual expression; Jordan and the Gulf Corporation Council; political power of tribes; social change through modern art; the Christian population in Amman; nationalism in Jordan; women's participation in Jordanian politics and civil society; Islam and state discourses on development; nongovernmental organization and donor interaction in Jordan; environment, resources, and sustainable development; freedom of expression in the Jordanian press; relationships among Jordanian youth.

Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
Through experiential learning, educational excursions highlight Jordan's modernization, along with social changes taking place. Arabic language learning is also highlighted. Excursions provide an exceptional opportunity to compare urban and rural communities as well as Jordanian and Turkish experiences in modernization and development.
This excursion provides students with the opportunity to explore everyday life in Jordan's Badia. Students experience the daily life, culture, and traditions of a Bedouin community, one of Jordan's most distinct and well known groups. As they are known in Arabic, the Bedu, or "desert dwellers," have learned to survive and endure the unforgiving climate of the desert. It is difficult to know the exact size of the Bedouin community, but it is generally known that Bedouins form a significant proportion of Jordan's population. Today, the majority of Jordan's Bedouin population lives in the vast wasteland that extends east from the Desert Highway. Throughout the middle, south, and east of Jordan, Bedouin communities are marked by their characteristic black goat-hair tents, known as beit al-sha'ar, or "house of hair."
This excursion takes students to both Central and Southern Jordan. Students receive customized Arabic lessons in a field-based setting; lessons focus on the sites and communities they visit, and students enjoy highly interactive conversations about the places they experience. Students are engaged in Arabic practice from the time they leave Amman until their return; this includes language practice during periods of travel.
The program includes an excursion to Istanbul, Turkey, a city that offers a unique blend of East and West. Turkey has emerged as a leading economic, political, and cultural power in the region, and many countries in the Middle East look to the Turkish development paradigm as a suitable model to emulate. In Istanbul, students learn about the history of kemalism, the question of the Kurdish minority, and the role of Islam in modern Turkey. Students meet with peers from Istanbul University and visit Old Istanbul, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, and Suleymaniye Library and Mosque. They also have the opportunity to enjoy a boat cruise on the Bosphorus and visit the eastern side of Istanbul.
Students have to write a comparative essay on Turkey and Jordan in which they analyze aspects of cultural, economic, or political life in both countries while documenting ways in which the excursion has contributed to their understanding of the dynamics in the Middle East.
What sets this program apart is the attention and support given to each one of us. The SIT staff has been unbelievable in meeting my personal and emotional needs. All of the SIT staff contributed greatly to my experience and I hope to come back to Jordan to visit. Through SIT I really got to see the beautiful culture and traditions of Jordan.

The Jordan: Modernization and Social Change program includes two different homestays, in Amman and in the rural area of Badia. Homestays provide students with an excellent opportunity to experience two highly different lifestyles, perspectives, and values while practicing their Arabic language skills. All host families are carefully selected.
Students spend the entire program period, other than the time on excursions, living with a homestay family in West Amman. The homestay provides students with an outstanding window into Jordanian urban life and culture. Most homestay families are middle class and maintain the customs of the typical Arab home.
Homestay families may include first or second generations of Palestinian refugees in Jordan, now a major component of Jordanian social and cultural life. Students are integrated into their host family's daily life, partaking in everyday activities such as sharing breakfast, participating in family outings, and shopping. In some cases, students have the opportunity to experience a Jordanian wedding ceremony or other traditional cultural activities organized by the host family or relatives. The homestay in Amman allows students to better understand the life of a Jordanian family and gives them a unique opportunity to further enhance their speaking abilities.
Students experience a five-day rural homestay in the Badia area of Jordan, living with a Bedouin family who is either nomadic or semi-nomadic. This excursion provides students with the opportunity to experience firsthand the daily life, culture, and traditions of a Bedouin community, one of Jordan's most distinct and well known groups. Students travel on their own to visit their carefully selected Bedouin family.
Other accommodations during the program include hostels, research institutes, or small hotels.

Knee Injury and Meniscus Tears Center - Cleveland, OHWebMD Physician DirectoryCleveland, OhioCleveland is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Cuyahoga County, the most populous county in the state. The municipality is located in northeastern Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie, approximately 60 miles (100 km) west of the Pennsylvania border. It was founded in 1796 near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, and became a manufacturing center owing to its location at the head of numerous canals and railroad lines. With the decline of heavy manufacturing, Cleveland's businesses have diversified into the service economy, including the financial services, insurance, legal, and healthcare sectors, though the city's population has continued to decline.

Another look at the Bringing Your Own Device trend
Blog Entry:
January 25, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: M URSULA HERRMANN
Mary Ursula Herrmann
Mary Ursula Herrmann
is a Network Security Analyst living in Juneau, AK. She has worked in Information Security for over 15 years, and obtained her CISSP in 2005.
I've written in the past about the
Bring Your Own Device
(BYOD) trend and how it can impact your enterprise in terms of security. I've also mentioned that the trend isn't going to go away. In fact, right about now, if you are a business owner, you may very well have received a new smartphone or other similar gadget over the holidays and be wondering how you can utilize it to increase your own productivity, even if you haven't yet considered that a possibility for your employees.
Starting in 1999, when Blackberry's first devices supported by RIM technology came out, businesspeople experienced wider choices for staying connected to the enterprise via an always-on phone rather than having to boot up a computer to check email. Only a decade later, however, Apple's iPhone had supplanted Blackberrys in popularity, and iPhone owners who either hadn't received a Blackberry from their employers or who had but didn't want to carry two devices were clamoring for a way to get work email as easily as on the RIM devices. Even before that, Windows phone owners had wanted email connectivity for their devices, and a few years after iPhone, Android appeared on the scene, and its adherents also wanted more enterprise connectivity. That's what led to the BYOD trend. The fact that AT&T pushed iPhones at all their partner companies is probably what fueled it initially, breaking Blackberry's hold on the enterprise. Competition in a niche is a good thing, but enterprises weren't ready for the new smartphones, in terms of security.
In the past decade, however, new device management technology has also sprung up to fill the space that RIM's management backend had satisfied for Blackberrys. Some of the management software is based in the Cloud (SaaS) and some is meant to be run within the enterprise. The best
Mobile Device Management
(MDM) supports, at a minimum, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android devices, and it's even better if it will also support Blackberry and Symbian. (While I can't formally endorse any vendor,
does support all these devices at an excellent price point.)
In addition to supporting a wide range of device types, the ideal MDM solution will also allow end users to use their devices the way they want on their own time, while safeguarding corporate data by using encryption for connections and data and separate containers. Virus protection and controlled access to applications should also be a part of MDM, since especially in the case of the more "open" Android platform, rogue applications can seriously impact device security. That very openness, however, is part of Android's draw for its users, so as long as you are employing MDM - and monitoring carefully - you shouldn't ban that platform from your enterprise. (I'll admit to being a huge Android fan myself.)
I've mentioned
Software as a Service
(SaaS) as one platform for MDM in this article, and next week I'll explore more about SaaS and its advantages for enterprise security. In the meantime, whichever MDM solution you pick, this is probably an excellent time to get on the BYOD bandwagon and let your employees use all their new gadgets for productivity's sake.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED)is investigating the circumstances that led to a Georgetown County deputy firing shots that killed a woman in Litchfield Saturday evening.
Valerie Harrington, age 36 and mother of a young daughter, died shortly after arriving at Waccamaw Community Hospital, according to Georgetown County Coroner Kenny Johnson.
He said Harrington had been shot multiple times.
Once the SLED investigation is complete, a report will be issued to 15th Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson who will decide if the shooting was justified.
What happened
An incident report written by another deputy, released Monday, states officers were dispatched to 49 Ashcraft Circle, Apartment 438 at just past 5 p.m. Saturday in reference to a welfare check.
According to the report, the Sheriffs Office was contacted by a family member of Harrington who stated Harrington may be suicidal.
The deputies were told by Harringtons attorney, who is not named in the report, that he was in contact with Harrington and she was locked inside the bathroom with a knife and was threatening to harm herself.
The deputies arrived and knocked on the door several times but there was no response. They received a key from the property manager and went inside the apartment.
While Sheriffs deputies were clearing the apartment, Ms. Harrington charged at a deputy with a knife in her hand, the report states. A responding deputy discharged his firearm at Ms. Harrington. Deputies then called for EMS and advised dispatch shots were fired.
SO refuses name
South Strand News has attempted to obtain the identity of the officer who fired the shots but law enforcement has not released his name.
The deputy has been placed on administrative leave.
Georgetown County Assistant Sheriff Carter Weaver, when asked the deputys name, referred the information request to SLED.
SLED spokesman Thom Berry said releasing the name is not a function of that agency. He said it is up to the local agency whether or not a name is released in these types of situations.
After that response from SLED, Weaver was contacted a second time for the identification of the officer.
We will revisit this once it has been determined by SLED exactly what happened before, during, and after the incident. There was more than one officer in and around the location, so any release by this agency at this time would not be based on factual findings founded by an impartial party, Weaver responded in an e-mail.
Bill Rogers, executive director of the South Carolina Press Association, said Tuesday there is no legal reason for withholding the name of the officer.
The name should be released. The fact that SLED is investigating has no bearing on the release of the reports by the local agency. They could argue it would hinder their investigation, but that would be hard to justify since no suspect is at large, Rogers responded.
Amazing personality
Meanwhile, some of Harringtons friends and family members have been expressing their thoughts on social media.
One of her friends, Malynne Nicole Moore, wrote on Facebook Harrington had an amazing personality! We had a good relationship and kept it through all the hard times. She made mistakes just like everyone does...Pray for (her daughter). She now has to grow up without her mother.
Harringtons cousin, Carrie Abbott, wrote: All this sadness and heartache is so overwhelming, I wish there were more I could do, Keep my family ...in your thoughts and prayers.

Customer Reviews
- Not any different than other sunscreens Review by TH, Oakland, CA
Price Value Quality I was totally diappointed in this product since it did not work any better than other suncreens. I have extremely oily skin and even with the Dermadoctor oil control lotion this sunscreen still made my face shiny after a few hours.
- great, but not "mattifying" Review by cfh, Milwaukee, WI USA
Price Value Quality I like this sunscreen, it didn't cause me to breakout like most facial sunblocks do. However, I didn't see anything "mattifying" about this product. My face looked shiny and greasy after putting this product on, so I still needed powder on top to cut down on shine.
- Above and Beyond! Review by sba, Trabuco Canyon, CA
Price Value Quality Most sunscreens make me greasy, ruin my makeup, irritate my eyes, and/or turn gray or white and make me look ill. Ain't Misbehavin does NONE of those things, and it makes my face feel soft. It doesn't irritate, ruin makeup, or look white - ever. I wouldn't call this a "mattifier", but, as far as sunscreen goes, it's definitely more matte than any others. In any case, it does NOT make me feel oily, or sticky, and it doesn't ball up or streak on my skin. It's kind to pores, so I don't look like I have white dots on my cheeks. I use Ain't Misbehavin SPF 30 with Picture Porefect and Tease Zone, and I get the best of all possible "must wear sunscreen" scenarios. The appearance of my melasma, pores, and oil breakthrough has changed dramatically for the better. In fact, my skin has never been better.

Gibson putting scoreless streak on line in Anaheim
Twins righty takes 22 straight shutout innings into matchup with Wilson
Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson has been on an impressive roll recently, and will carry a 22-inning scoreless streak into Tuesday's series opener against the Angels in Anaheim.
Gibson has turned in three straight outings of seven scoreless innings, including perhaps his best start of his young career on Wednesday, against the Red Sox. He gave up just one hit over seven scoreless innings while establishing a career-high with eight strikeouts, but he was stuck with a no-decision.
His scoreless streak is the longest active streak in the Majors. The Twins' record for a scoreless streak is 36 innings by reliever J.C. Romero in 2004.
"I'm just executing pitches," said Gibson, who is 6-5 with a 3.25 ERA in 14 starts. "I'm not doing anything different. I'm definitely looking at scouting reports and who I'm facing. But it comes down to executing, no matter who is out there."
Left-hander C.J. Wilson starts for the Angels, and he is coming off a strong start against the Indians on Thursday, as he gave up just one run on three hits and four walks over seven innings, but he also was stuck with a no-decision.
Wilson will be facing a Twins team that has struggled to score runs recently but has still been hanging around in the American League Central race because of strong efforts from the rotation over the last two weeks.
The Angels, meanwhile, have won three in a row after sweeping the Rangers at home over the weekend.
"Hopefully we can avoid some bad streaks and hang right in there," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I think we can if the starting pitching holds up. We've seen just about every team so far, and I like our chances to compete with all these guys. We need to be more consistent offensively, but a lot of good things can happen."
Twins: Ryan could go on first road trip
Twins general manager Terry Ryan said Sunday that he's hoping to accompany the Twins on their road trip through Anaheim and Texas, which would mark his first trip since being diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in early February.
Ryan, 60, had surgery to remove a cancerous mass from his neck on Feb. 11. He finished radiation treatments in late April, and has been feeling better recently. He's been working from his office and orchestrated the signing of Kendrys Morales.
Angels: Halos making comebacks count
The Angels entered Sunday's game against the Rangers second in both the AL and the Major Leagues in comeback wins, notching 20.
"I don't think that holds a lot of weight, to be honest with you," manager Mike Scioscia said.
Almost half of the Angels' victories have been of the comeback variety, but Scioscia dismissed the idea of a comeback win, because overcoming any deficit during any point in the game registers a comeback win.
The Angels have four victories when trailing after seven innings, and two when trailing after eight. They are 5-4 in extra innings.
Worth noting
• Tuesday marks the first meeting of the season between the two clubs. The Twins took the season series in 2013, winning five of six against the Angels.
• Scioscia and Gardenhire are the two longest-tenured managers in the AL.
• Twins first baseman Joe Mauer had three multi-RBI performances in Minnesota's four-game series against the White Sox. He had just two on the season coming into the series.
• Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki is riding a nine-game hitting streak, and has also reached safely in 14 in a row.

ATHENS, Greece- Against the backdrop of Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, Special Olympics and UNICEF today signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen their joint commitment to uphold the rights, dignity and inclusion of children with disabilities.
At a special ceremony, Dr. Timothy P. Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics, and UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake pledged to deepen their partnership, working more closely together to combat the legal, social and physical barriers that exclude children with disabilities from full participation.
"Children with disabilities have the same hopes and dreams as all children, and the same right to make the most of their potential," said Anthony Lake, UNICEF's Executive Director. "The denial of that right is a loss, not only for those children, but for our societies. And it is unconscionable. By strengthening the partnership between Special Olympics and UNICEF, we will help to protect this right for more children with disabilities, and in so doing, enable them to contribute even more to their communities and countries."
Children with disabilities are frequently the targets of discrimination and neglect, and denied essential services such as basic healthcare, education and other social welfare provisions. Negative societal attitudes also expose children with disabilities to greater risk of violence, abuse and exploitation. Tackling the discrimination that keeps children with disabilities on the margins of society is critical to including them as equal and active members of their communities.
Since 2007 UNICEF and Special Olympics have worked together to raise awareness of the abilities and rights of children with intellectual disabilities, change perceptions and challenge negative attitudes. Together, the two organizations promote the participation and empowerment of children with intellectual disabilities and their families worldwide, and seek to build their self-reliance, confidence and advocacy skills through sport programming, and related health and social services.
"We are honored to welcome UNICEF to join us here in Athens at our World Games and with us to issue this critical call to action for inclusion," said Dr. Timothy P. Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics. "As these athletes take the world stage, this is the perfect time to expand the partnership between Special Olympics and UNICEF, redoubling our efforts to achieve even greater results for our athletes and their families, and for all children with disabilities."
In recent years, UNICEF and Special Olympics have worked together to establish the first Family Support Networks for families with children with intellectual disabilities in Cambodia; to provide opportunities for children in Jamaica to participate in Young Athletes programmes; and to provide health screenings, counseling on nutrition, and family health education in several locations throughout Kazakhstan.
Currently working together in 15 countries, including Greece, UNICEF and Special Olympics will work to expand the geographical reach of their collaborative efforts. One top priority is to encourage governments to ratify and implement the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the first human rights treaty of the 21st century and the first legally binding instrument with comprehensive protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, including children. Adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2006, by May, 2011 100 countries had already ratified the Convention.
The partnership will also aim to integrate children and young people with disabilities into mainstream society. Toward this end, UNICEF is supporting the Global Youth Activation Summit, which is being held in Athens concurrently with Special Olympics World Summer Games. Organized by Special Olympics, the Summit brings together young people both with and without disabilities, from 30 countries. With a special focus on fostering inclusion and diversity, the Global Youth Summit pairs these young leaders to develop strategies designed to change people's perceptions about disability and to challenge negative attitudes.
"To me, attending the Global Youth Activation Summit is a great opportunity to know what Special Olympics athletes are experiencing all around the world. I believe grouping all our ideas is the best way to come up with solutions in order to understand the athletes and one another," said Wai Tsun "Hazel" Law, a 15-year-old participant from Hong Kong. "Then, we can bring these back to school so that we can take the lead together and spread the messages of respect and acceptance to the whole community."
About Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics is an international organization that changes lives through the power of sport by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to more than 3.7 million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and other related programs. Special Olympics now takes place every day, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in places like China and from regions like the Middle East to the community playgrounds and ball fields in every small neighborhood's backyard. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and experience joy and friendship.

The new Canon EOS C300 camera
Article Summary
The fact that Canon chose to release its new camera on the Paramount lot in Hollywood should be a big clue as to how it is positioning it's new baby. Scorsese was there! Ron Howard was there! Though it records to the same video codec as previous Canon cameras (50Mbps 4:2:2 Canon XF) 'video camera' would be a misnomer. Digital cinema camera would be more appropriate with the S35-sized 4K sensor designed to appeal to budget film makers and episodic TV producers. Canon sees an opportunity to sell the equivalent of an Arri Alexa for a third of the price and compete with Sony's CineAlta F3 large sensor offering. Of course Canon has a bit of a psychological advantage in this regard.

Not only can you construct letters and words, but this is such a great way for kids to play with shapes and use their imagination! Audrey had fun making a flower:)
