I am 16 years old and I love to program and playing the piano. It's not uncommon that I'm bashing away on my mouse and keyboard all day long. I do not feel any pains doing so.
Yet I am still worried, because I often hear from people that they can never type for longer then 10 minutes again without getting severe pains. Given my two hobbies, programming and playing the piano that worries me a lot.
My current situation is this:
- G15 keyboard and G5 mouse
- A chair that looks like this (the back of the chair is surprisingly supportive): http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/images/products/torbjorn-bureaustoel__0084333_PE210956_S4.JPG
- In my "normal sitting position" the table is around the height of my bellybutton.
- A LG Flatron L194wt screen (too small IMO, getting a new one soon)
Should I be worrying about RSI/similar health issues? If yes, what can/should I do about it?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Miami University men's track and field team opened its 2013 outdoor season by winning two events on day two of the Black and Gold Invitational Saturday, held at Vanderbilt University's track and field complex.
Freshman Peter Stefanski (Aurora, Ill.), competing unattached, won the high jump with a clearance of 2.09m/6-10.25, matching his personal best. Junior Rob Stein (Villa Park, Ill.) won the discus with a heave of 50.52m/165-9, topping a pair of Southern Illinois throwers by over three feet. Senior Lucas Ferguson (Mount Vernon, Ohio) placed seventh in the discus with a toss of 45.83m/150-4, while in the javelin, sophomore Tyler Yee (Florida, N.Y.) returned from an injury last year to take 10th with a throw of 56.71m/186-1.
Senior John Cantwell (Holland, Pa.), who was the runner-up in the triple jump Friday, finished fifth in the long jump with a leap of 7.20m/23-7.5, smashing his personal best. Junior Sam Spallinger (Pandora, Ohio) was eighth in the long jump with a mark of 6.89m/22-7.25.
Three RedHawks placed in the top five in the 800m run, led by seniors Jack Spilman (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) and Jarrod Eick (Hartville, Ohio), who took second and third, respectively, in 1:51.02 and 1:51.89. Spilman's time is a personal best and ranks him eighth in school history. Junior Wade Coffin (Willoughby, Ohio) claimed fifth in a season-best 1:52.65.
Junior Jahquil Hargrove (Norristown, Pa.) finished third in the 400m dash in a season-best 48.22 while sophomore JaShawn Combs (Dayton, Ohio) also captured third in the 110m hurdles in 14.59. In the 400m hurdles, sophomore Skyler Coburn (La Porte, Ind.) took ninth in 55.04.
In the 3000m run, two RedHawks crossed in the top six as freshman Joe Stewart (Naperville, Ill.) placed fifth in 8:32.08 in his first collegiate race while senior Matt Marol (Evanston, Ill.) was right behind in sixth in a personal-best 8:33.15. Sophomore Ryan Moncrieff (Hawthorn Woods, Ill.) placed ninth in the 2000m steeplechase in 6:06.55.
Miami earned runner-up in the 4x100m relay as freshman Jason Bailey (Springboro, Ohio), Combs, Spallinger and Hargrove combined to clock 42.08, finishing just behind SIU. The RedHawks took ninth in the 4x400m relay in 3:21.29, led by Hargrove and Coburn.
The RedHawks competed against several regional teams at the meet, including Ohio State, DePaul, Louisville, Bradley, Southern Illinois, Loyola (Ill.) and Western Kentucky, as well as several schools in Tennessee, including Memphis, Belmont, Middle Tennessee State and Lipscomb, along with the host Commodores, who only competed in distance events as Vanderbilt does not sponsor men's track.

Miami stays closer to home next weekend, as the RedHawks take part in the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational, hosted by the University of Cincinnati, Friday and Saturday, March 29-30, just an hour down the road from Oxford.

Baseball waits while Getchell's Clark helps the less fortunate
Chargers sophomore spent nine days of his season lending a hand at a children's home in Haiti.

Marysville Getchell's John Clark poses with a boy named Edgar from the village of Williamson in Haiti.
But his coach wasn't upset about it. He had a good excuse.
Clark, a sophomore right fielder/first baseman, was on a nine-day trip to Haiti to help out at a children's home in Williamson, a small village about an hour north of Port-au-Prince, the island country's capital. Clark was part of a group that included his mother, father, brother and a friend.
"It's a really life-changing experience to see such a different lifestyle than the one we have here" in the U.S.), Clark said. "It's pretty crazy. The people pretty much make due with basically nothing and they're the happiest people alive. It really makes you feel thankful for all the blessings we have here."
Clark went with a program called "Lifting Up Haiti," which is a non-profit venture based in Bellingham that works on "projects that focus on sustainability and foster independence and promote dignity," according to the mission statement on the group's website.
Carole Clark, John's mother, is on the board of directors and recruited her family to go with her to Haiti. A nurse practitioner at the Everett Clinic, she has been going to the island nation each of the last three years.
She has taken her daughter Rachel in the past, and John has gone before. This year, John, his father Dale, his brother Randy and friend Patrick Berry, who attends Lakewood High School, went along. Together they worked building a fence around property that Lifting Up Haiti purchased for a children's home in Williamson.
While there, the group also worked with the kids. Carole Clark thought this was her son John's favorite part of the trip.
"I think they're a little attached to some of the kids," Carole Clark said. "The kids are cute and their fun. The kids at the orphanage really love John."
Carole Clark says the village where they were in Haiti wasn't dangerous at all. The residents are thankful of the American involvement, she said. While the Clark group was there, a University of Washington dental team arrived to serve the Haitian community. Lifting Up Haiti also helps supply basic medical healthcare there as well.
Working in the children's home, which has 17-20 children depending on the time, really makes him thankful for everything he has in his life back home, including his Chargers' teammates, John Clark said.
"There's really no comparison. We're really blessed here," Clark said. "You don't really realize it till you see what other people are living with. It's great to have with my friends and my teammates."
The two-year varsity starter's presence was missed by his team when he was in Haiti. The Chargers went 1-3 in the four games they played without their No. 3 hitter, but head coach Gerry Klep understands there are higher priorities in life than baseball.
"Obviously for the wins and losses part of the game and what he provides to the team we missed him greatly, but as we build our program there's more important things," Klep said. "Those type of things the kids are doing definitely feed into what we provide in the program."
Clark missed baseball while working in Haiti, and before he left for the country, he stayed on the diamond as long as he possibly could.
"It was kind of abrupt. I left in the third inning of a game (against Stanwood on March 26)," Clark said. "I just wanted to play as much as I could before I was gone. I missed baseball a lot. When we had down time, which wasn't very often, I'd think about it."
It was the second straight year Clark traveled to Haiti and missed baseball games. Last year, he was gone for a school milestone: the Chargers' lone win of the season, a 3-2 victory over Oak Harbor on March 30.
"We've improved a lot since last year," Clark said. "We've been working really hard. It's really showing and it's really paying off."
The Chargers are 5-9 in league and 6-10 overall going into today's home game against Everett.
Clark is a big reason for Marysville Getchell's improvement, Klep said.
"He bats third in our lineup. He solidifies our outfield. He gives us a threat that we don't have when he's not here," Klep said. "It's much easier to write a lineup when he's around."
Clark's leadership is just as important as his baseball skills on a team focused on making the district baseball playoffs in just the second year of the program, Klep said. Marysville Getchell is one game out of the playoffs with three league games to go.
"He's our vocal leader. He's already established," Klep said. "He's 6-4, 220. He's a big guy. He plays tight end on the football team. He's our vocal leader. He really is a good kid. He really is."
"I think John's a great role model for other young men, how he dedicates time to different avenues in life," Klep added. "He's a busy guy. He plays two sports, gets some extracurricular (activities) done and he's a model student."

Furloughs pose pitfalls for managers, rank-and-file feds
Monday - 2/18/2013, 4:31pm EST
Talk of federal-employee furloughs has intensified as the clock winds down to March 1 — the date automatic, across-the-board spending cuts are set to kick in.
But even if agencies are forced to go the furlough route, they will have to ensure the workforce reductions are implemented fairly or face a series of potential pitfalls.
Unionized federal employees — about 26.9 percent of the federal workforce — have the right to bargain over the "impact and implementation" of furloughs, said John Mahoney, chairman of Tully Rinckey's labor and employment practice group, in an interview on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
John Mahoney
And, regardless whether an employee is covered by a union, all employees need to receive 30 days' notice and the opportunity to respond to notices, Mahoney said.
So the timeframe for when furloughs would actually be implemented (if sequestration goes into effect next month) would be pushed back to the end of April or even early May, Mahoney said.
Furloughs come with costly appeals process
"The goal is to try to roll this out in a way that has the least amount of impact on federal employees," Mahoney said.
But in doing so, managers need to make sure they follow all the rules and regulations relating to furloughs and take particular care that they are implemented equitably.
"If the furloughs are not implemented fairly [or] if an employee or a group of employees ... feel like the furloughs are not being applied equally across the board, they can file an Equal Employment Opportunity discrimination complaint," Mahoney said.
That could make the promised cost-savings more difficult to realize.
"Congress believes that these furloughs are going to save the government lots of money, but in reality they can lead to a very expensive complaint and appeals process across the board for these hundreds of thousands of employees who may be impacted by furloughs," Mahoney said.
To eliminate even the whiff of impropriety, managers should apply the furloughs to entire jobs series or grade levels as opposed to "picking and choosing" certain employees from various grades or job series, Mahoney said.
A logistical 'nightmare'
"This is something that has to be thought out well by the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management to determine how, exactly, they're going to implement these across-the-board furloughs," Mahoney said. "I mean, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of potential federal employees who may, at this point, lose up to 20 percent of their pay for a 30-day period or longer."
MSPB has previously published guidance on employee furloughs during government shutdowns stemming from lapsed spending bills.
But because sequestration furloughs would potentially ensnare nearly all federal employees — including those deemed "essential" — the furlough process becomes that much more complicated, Mahoney said.
"Logistically, it's going to be a nightmare, frankly, for all the federal agencies to put together their plans to furlough people fairly and meet congressional and presidential requirements, and that they do so effective March 1 if that deadline is not extended," Mahoney said.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
This fits all HCI-100 Series Motorcycle Helmets from Jafrum.
This comes with 3 screws which will help you put the visor and face shield together or just the face shield
(This may fit some generic half helmet available in the market, but we do not guarantee it.)
Comment: Very nice solution for my wifes highway madness. Her 1/2 lid now rides smooth. No more parachuting down the highway. Nice quality.
Comment: This is a great solution for eye shade in the case of wearing corrective lens. Plus the unique shape looks great on the 100 series helmet.
Chuck A.
North Alabama
Comment: I put one of these on two 100 helmets and they are fantastic! They actually add to the look of the helmet, keep the sun glare out of our eyes, and as part of a 1/2 helmet don't get in the way of the mouth and nose. These are a terrific addition to any 100 helmet. I highly recommend it.
South Jersey
Comment: I was very please with these face shiels. They are very clear and have no waves. They fit the helmets perfectly. Longer screws come with the shield,too. With the longer screws I was able to add my visor back on. I would buy this product again.
Karen M.
Comment: Better than goggles, more comfortable, better protection against foreign objects (i.e. sand, gravel, bugs). I recommend it. Little bit of vision distortion that you adjust to quickly.
New Mexico
Comment: Fit my helmet perfectly...very good!
Teresa Smith
Cedar Rapids, IA
Comment: It was a pain to put on, but worth it. The shield helped protect my prescription glasses from debris. It also made it easier to breath. Without the wind driving against your face, the shield helped divert it.
Sacramento, CA
Comment: Stumbled upon this site by acccedent, so happy I did. I was shocked by the quality and range of the products that are available from this company. I was happy with the half helmets and shields, they are first quality and I will order from this site and company many more time in the near future. If you can use any of their products "please give them your business" you will not regret it in any way. 1st quality all the way. 100%
Bruce Martin
Piney Flats, TN
Comment: The shield installed easily. Clears my glasses and blocks wind. I recommend it especially for those who have to wear glasses.
Comment: While this shield is supposed to be short, it's a bit too short for my HCI half helmet. The way the helmet is designed to sit back on the head makes the shield bottom out right across my line of vision, especially when I look down at the instrument cluster, or the at the road close to my front end. If I tug the shield down out my sight line, then the chin strap cuts into my neck. The shield itself is great, just not a great fit on my helmet (could also be operator error).
Comment: I bought one clear and one smoke for my two 100 series half helmets. They look great....highly recommended.
Gary H
Pegram, TN
Comment: I bought the clear shield as a replacement and it fit perfectly. Jafrum was the only website that had it in stock and I received in three days.
Bensalem, PA
Comment: Nice fit to helmet and looks and works great.
vtx rider
Comment: This is a very good shield for the price. Goes well with half helmet with or without the visor. This shield is very clear and there is no vibration and no distortion. I will definitely buy them again!
Frelon S.
Comment: Add the shield to your 100 series helmet and it will prevent helmet lift at higher speeds without the stuffiness of a full face helmet. Just finished a 1200 mile ride through New England without a fairing or windshield, and it worked great. Price pretty good too. On drawback is the "delicate" paint finish on the helmet. Scratched and chips easily. Tip is to use a black Sharpy pen to fix.
Jon Stickney
Barrington, IL
Comment: The shields are perfect for eye protection on the 100 helmets.
Comment: Product (shield) exactly as described, quick service and delivery.
Karen L
Kannapolis, NC
Comment: I had a problem with wind getting under the visor and this took care of the problem. My shields didn't come with the 3 screws but with the screws from the visor worked OK for install.
Rick Moore
Parkville, MD
Comment: I suggest getting the clear shield and one or both of the tinted. Installation takes a second as there are no snaps. But nothing abnormal. Looks very cool on the helmet almost like a riot helmet that police would use.
Comment: We are very satisfied with the shields. It was very easy to put it on the helmet. I'm a contact lenses user and the shield protects my eyes from the wind and debris, as well as from the raindrops. We have them in clear and smoke. Will soon purchase another set of smoke. Highly recommend.

Comment: Its the third one for me. Bought one with each helmet I had purchased but do to it getting scratched I ordered another and I love it. Does its job like it should. Will purchase one when needed in the future.
Patrick Culver
Lawton, Okla
Comment: I ordered the smoked face-shield, and it arrived promptly. I was able to fit it to the helmet without any problem at all. However, I found the visibility to be low, and exchanged it for a clear face-shield. My return and subsequent exchange was handled very efficiently. In fact, they made sure that I got the right shield. They did not even charge postal charges for the exchange! I love the shield, and I appreciate the the great service!

Comment: Clear view no problem seeing my gauges with sunglasses..or at night seeing the dark roads in the rain Well its hot in Texas I still get plenty of air and I like the added protection especially on the freeway with all the sand and bugs coming at you.
Comment: its a nice shield...i installed it with the visor and it looks great.....but the installation with the visor was a pain in the rear and it just looks like bad without the visor.........
Charles Scarcliff

Comment: The shields were nice. i just wish they could fit my helmet
Caldwell Jenkins jr.
Nashville, TN.
Comment: Shield cracked at mounting holes when screws snugged down due to uneven surface where the molding on the rim of the helmet meets the flat part where the screw hole is. Otherwise, I like the look and functionality.
Comment: Shipment arrived on time with no problems. Fits just right
Val Maxwell
Hollister, CA
Comment: First day riding with it, (day had started foggy on way to work, so thought I'd try it), on the way home it caught a large wasp right betweeen the eyes. Raked the goo off and rode on. Even with goggles, that would not have ended that well. It's staying on!!!
Mike Wheeler
Comment: I feel so free (and WAY cooler) now that I've ditched my modular full-face helmet and I can feel the wind in my hair and this shield protects the most important parts of my face. And it doesn't cover up my pretty lipstick and gloss. And it looks badass too.
Jennifer Miner
Redmond, WA
Comment: I ride without a windscreen a lot of the time. This clear shield keeps debris from hitting my glasses and marring the rather expensive lens. I've never liked sunglasses or tinted shields and I was especially happy to find this shield offered in clear.
Comment: Nice looking shield. Easy to install. Will not be usisg it for several months.
Comment: Purchased w/HCI-100 helmet. It was easy to install, if applied, as per, product video. Shield provides adequate protection though, just a tad short for my face, having to adjust my head to read guages. Easily fits over eyeglasses, with minimal distortion. All and all, a good helmet option.
Brooklyn, NY
Comment: Bought the face shield with purchase of HCI 100 helmet. Havent tried it yet but will comment that shield is not optically correct. But, I feel it will be very well appreciated on a summer ride especially at night to defend against june bugs.
Mr. Stump
Green Bay WI
Comment: Bought it to go with an HCI-100 leather helmet. Was easy to attach along with the existing visor. Included screws, but they were not really needed, as the existing screws worked fine. Visor is a good size for me, and fits finw with glasses
Michael Owings
New Orleans, LA
Comment: Fantastic !! I wear glasses and hate goggles [too hot] . Bought the clear shield with helmet and it works so good I ordered another one just in case. Also ordered the mirror tint that is good day or night > I'm sold on the helmet and shields . Very cost effective product.
Comment: I don't use the visor all the time. I use it for long hauls when wearing sunglasses can become a chore and actually make me feel tired. With the visor I feel more engaged in the ride and can enjoy the scenery naturally. And when the sun goes down my eyes are less likely to be affected by glare and distortion. In both night and day riding my eyes are protected against critters and pebbles from an 18-wheeler.
Jimmy Dial
Chesapeake, VA
Comment: It's a must for buggy conditions. It also helps keep some of the cold off on cold days.
Jimbo C
New Hampshire.
Comment: This was a great addition after moving from California to Florida where there are many more bugs hitting you at 70 miles an hour. It was easy to install, and it looks great.
Hudson, Fl
Comment: This didn't work for me. The edge is in my line of sight and it's very annoying. I have a windshield and just was hoping this would cut down on the wind so I didn't need to wear clear glasses at night. If you must get a shield it's of good quality but if you hate that "split view" you won't like this one. Thanks Jafrum for the no hassle return program.
John S
Richmond, VA
Comment: Nice addition to the helmet, keeps the wind and dust out and looks good!

As the Southeast continued to cope with flooding in the wake of Hurricane Isaac, ASPCA responders spent Labor Day weekend knee-deep in floodwater saving lives. Because of the efforts of ASPCA responders and others, hundreds of animals—dogs, cats, horses and even deer—are now safe.
In Mississippi, an ASPCA team worked to rescue stranded animals, including a young fawn in Harrison County who became trapped on a small piece of high ground after her mother swam to safety. Just as her patch of land was submerged, our responders arrived to take her to safety. She is now with the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Nature Preservation Society of Long Beach, Mississippi.
Meanwhile in Louisiana five teams—comprised of responders from the ASPCA, Louisiana State Animal Response Team, Texas State Animal Response Team and Calcasieu Parish—together handled search and rescue requests.
A team of responders assisted the coastally situated St. John Parish Animal Shelter in LaPlace, Louisiana, purchasing equipment to deep-clean the kennel after flooding robbed it of most of its space for dogs. St. John's is getting back on its feet but has severely limited space. In response, the ASPCA transported nearly 70 dogs and cats from St. John's.
To help local shelters find space to accept animals rescued from flooding, our Animal Relocation team also moved 80 adoptable cats and dogs from Plaquemines Parish and 20 from Jefferson Parish. In total, the ASPCA relocated 90 dogs and 84 cats to shelters with space to care for them: the generous Humane Society of North Texas, SPCA of Texas and the Atlanta Humane Society. (Thank you!)
Our work is not yet complete. If you're seeking a way to help, you can make a gift to the ASPCA here. The ASPCA relies on the support of compassionate people like you to conduct rescues like this one and to assist animals facing other crises.
If she gets colic mix pepto with her milk. That is what I did when we saved our fawn.
Thanks for being there for our furry friends. Bless all of you and be safe.
Thank you, ASPCA, for all your help, especially at the St. John shelter. You are an organization that is reliable, true to its stated mission, and never ego-driven. Thank you for helping our most vunerable and valuable residents. :)
The animals in LaPlace, LA are still in urgent need of help. So many families are starting the process or reclaiming or leaving their homes, but many are doing this by leaving their animals to fend for themselves or bringing them to the already crowded shelter. Thank you so much for all that you have done so far, but they still need a great deal of help. Please donate if you can. ASPCA, will you be returning to LaPlace?
My daughter was VERY upset when she read this article about animals in need. my wife and I are seeking a way to help, we want to can make a gift to the ASPCA locally since the ASPCA relies on the support of compassionate people like you to conduct rescues like this one and to assist animals facing other crises. we will blog about it on our photograph forum www.instagramhq.com as well in hopes of creating awareness. Origingally from Louisiana this hits close to home. Please keep up the great work!!

it is a shame that there's some ppl who actually stand up to women like Myriam!!! how low can you get ppl??!?!?!
I'm sorry for the brainless babe but Nemr was quite right in almost everything he said (I was disgusted by his singing voice), we have to aspire to higher artistic levels because what the blonde zombie does is just plain trash. I think Nemr should run for president.
HAHAHAHAHAHA WALAWWWW ?? tfehhhh :S 3antawwwwwwwwwwwww !!! 3eb wlooooo
This nemer is stupid and cheap! Really disgusting personn shame on him to insult this way! This is not a comedian he is doing revolution!
I guess Nemr is one of the rare persons who had the guts to stand up and deliver a truthfull message against the low and bad cultural behavior currently adopted within the Arab World.
You Go Nemr!
Unfortunately though, she's becoming famous because of this.
LMFAO go Nemr!
I think Nemr couldn't have been more spot on with everything he said. The fact that she thinks she has talent is mortifying. Why are people like her allowed to pollute our TV screens with this kind of trash? It's just sad that she's probably the most talked about topic in social media (in the Arab world) since this morning. Says something about us too..

|Office website
Sam Brownback is a fourth generation Kansas. Born is Garnett, he grw up on a farm in Linn County where his parents still live. He was elected student body president as an undergraduate and then president of his law school class by his fellow students. At Kansas State, he also joined the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity.
After college, Sam spent a year in broadcasting, hosting a weekly show. After law school. he practiced in Manhattan, Kansas for four years before being elected as Kansas' Secretary of Agriculture in 1986.
He first went to Washington as a White House Fellow under the George H.W. Bush Administration. From 1990-1991, he was detailed to the office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Upon completion of his fellowship, Brownback returned to Kansas and resumed his secretarial office.
He entered Congress as the Representative for Kansas' 2nd District in 1994 and, in 1996, moved to Senate in a special election for Bob Dole's seat. He currently serves as the ranking Republican on the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee and also sits on the Homeland Security Subcommittee, the Appropriations Committee, the Judiciary Committee, the Joint Economic Committee, and the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, more casually known as the Helsinki Commission.

Voter ID
Gov. Sam Brownback signed a law in April 2011 requiring voters to produce a photo ID before casting a ballot instead of the previous protocol of producing a signature to verify identification at the polls, starting January 1, 2013.
"This is a modest, prudent measure. You show photo ID to cash a check, you show one to get on a plane, it's something people are used to doing," Brownback said. "It's a modest and important measure to ensure the sanctity of the vote."[2]
Presidential preference
Sam Brownback endorsed Rick Perry in the 2012 presidential election. [3]
Governor Elect Sam Brownback's acceptance speech
Brownback defeated Joan Heffington in the August 3 primary, winning with 82% of the vote.
Brownback faced and won over Tom Holland (D), Andrew P. Gray (L), and Ken Cannon (Reform) in the general election on November 2, 2010.[4]
Oct. 7, 2010 debate
In the gubernatorial debate on October 7, 2010 on KWCH all four candidates for Kansas governor said they're against the statewide smoking ban and the hypocrisy of exempting the state-owned casinos from the ban.
Brownback said:
- I think they need to be left to local units of government as well, but I'll tell you something else that we ought to do, that's to put the ban on the state-owned facilities. That's where the ban ought to be on in the first place, is the state should lead by example and not exempting itself by something like this. That smoking ban ought to be on the state facilities and leave the other issues to the local control. That's the best way a state can lead, doing this to itself and leading by example rather than putting it on somebody else, a burden somewhere else.[5]

Women's Soccer Pushes Winning Streak to Three in Convincing Win Over King
September 21, 2013
BRISTOL Tenn. The Pfeiffer University womens soccer team (3-3, 1-0 Conference Carolinas) ran its winning streak to three games with a convincing 4-0 victory at King (1-5, 0-1) on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The Lady Falcons scored three first half goals, including two by reigning Conference Carolinas Freshmen of the Year Aaliyah Jackson, to open Conference Carolinas play. Pfeiffer has held King scoreless in 310 minutes of game time over the past three seasons as the teams tied 0-0 in double overtime each of the prior two matchups.
Jackson first struck at the 16:05 mark of the first half on a through ball from Brae Buster and her shot beat the keeper. Just over 11 minutes later, Jackson used an elusive one-on-one move to get past the keeper from three yards out, for her fourth score of the season. Combining those goals with the game-winner Jackson scored in the 88th minute against Queens on Sunday, Sept. 15, the sophomore forward had a hat trick in just less than 30 minutes of play. Buster netted the third goal of her freshman season in the 35th minute when she took a through ball from Katie Collins and scored from six yards out. The half ended with the Lady Falcons holding a commanding 11-3 advantage in shots.
Pfeiffer kept the pressure on in the second half, outshooting the Tornados 8-2 in the first 15 minutes of the half. At the 59:05 mark, Kayla Rodriguez gave the Lady Falcons a four goal lead with her first goal of the season, the assist was credited to Hannah Hill. Hannah Kish nearly made it 5-0 but her shot deflected off the crossbar.
For the match, Pfeiffer doubled up King in the shot column, 26-13, and put 15 on goal. Nicole Dagher made 11 saves in the losing effort, while Natalie Marsh recorded the shutout, making four stops.
The Lady Falcons return to action on Wednesday afternoon when they travel to Gaffney, SC to take on Limestone with kick off slated for 2 p.m. Pfeiffer will be looking to avenge last years 2-0 loss at home to Limestone on Sept. 12.

A while back, I wrote about the first food truck that hit the streets in Paris. And at the time, that truck, as well as the ones that followed, were spearheaded by folks from other countries making food from their various homelands. And I expressed some ideas for how, perhaps, the food truck phenomenon could encompass la cuisine française as well.
Since then, a number of food trucks have, indeed, done that. And there are a number of people rolling around Paris, offering everything from candied nuts to Breton food. [I like the fact that their website says their salted butter caramel is "Fait camion" (truck-made), rather than "Fait maison" (homemade).] In spite of recent changes to dining habits in France, le sandwich remains a popular lunch and just about every bakery in Paris has a line that begins around noon of people clamoring for sandwiches to chow down on before they need to go back to school or work.
So I was excited to hear that Jérôme Boulestreau, who previously owned the Beillevaire cheese shop (which is now being run by people he worked with), opened up a sandwicherie with the Castro brothers. And in addition to sandwiches, their tiny shop is also crammed with interesting products like sardines from Brittany, tight links of Corsican sausages, Italian pasta, and even pistachios from California.

Dreams of going to Africa...
Africa Safari Questions, Answers, Photos and more...
Re: Dreams of going to Africa...
Now, Lingstone Trails, I know that the Zebra skins are a great way to make some extra cash for the whole African experience. However, just off the top of your head, how much would it cost just for a trip out there to hunt a Zebra? And then, how much would it cost to hunt all the other animals that one would try to hunt if they were to go out to Africa? I am just trying to get a gauge on it all so I can make future plans. Granted, prices will probably have changed by then, but I just want to get a rough estimate. Thanks.
Good Hunting,

Re: Dreams of going to Africa...
Lucky enough to go to Namibia twice. AMAZING! Have no interest in shooting anything that wants to feast on me, so stuck to antelope. Kudu, Gemsbok, Heartebeast, Blesbok, Impala, Springbok, warthog, Wildebeast. Most incredible experience ever. First time I ever hunted out of PA and I'm afraid nothing would top it. The guide was phenomenal.
Re: Dreams of going to Africa...
Hi Guys,
I have recently joined the forum. I hope that I can be of assistance to you with any queries that you might have regarding hunting in Africa. I had a quick look through some of the replies and found some interesting topics.
First of all. I think the worst assumption is that hunting in Africa is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Its a lot more affordable than what you think.
You could hunt for 7 days, including 5 trophy animals for the price of an Elk.
Certainly the worst thing about hunting in Africa, is that its highly addictive and once you get back, you will start to try and figure out a way to get back.
I look forward to your questions and discussing the wonderful hobby that we all love, in hunting.
Best Regards

Re: Dreams of going to Africa...
Africa for Cape Buffalo and Eland has been a life long desire of mine. That said, I cannot see myself doing it with a bow. I would opt instead for my .416 Rigby which I purchased about 8 years ago and it has been languishing in my safe. That said, my son served in the Marines with a guy who now lives on a large estate in Botswana and he has invited him over to hunt anytime he want's. I intend to pull rank and try and get on that little venture as it would definately cut the cost of the hunt.

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Right-wing media figures are criticizing 2016 hopeful Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for his comments blaming the rise of ISIS on Republican foreign policy positions, lashing out at Paul as an "Obama Republican" and accusing him of "rewriting history."
Mainstream media outlets are misrepresenting Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina's stance on pay equality, reporting on her claim that she supports equal pay without noting her opposition to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act.
NBC's Today Show suggested that Hillary Clinton's personal wealth "is a liability like Mitt Romney in 2012," ignoring the former senator's extensive history championing policies that help the middle class and attempts to address income inequality in order to compare her to Romney, who called for huge tax cuts for the rich during his last failed presidential run.

Vol. 12 , No. 05
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Lecture
The Supreme Court and Affirmative Action
In the 1950s and 1960s, the courts of our country were battlegrounds in the war for civil rights. One of the leaders in the effort was Constance Baker Motley, longtime counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and later a federal court judge.
Judge Motley finished college (Fisk and New York University) in two-and-a-half years and graduated from Columbia University School of Law in 1946. During her senior year at Columbia she accepted a position as clerk for Thurgood Marshall, who was then the head of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. She worked for 20 years with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, becoming its principal trial attorney, and she was one of the lawyers who helped write the briefs filed in the U.S. Supreme Court in the leading school desegregation case, Brown v. Board of Education, in 1954. She argued ten cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, winning nine, which were of key importance in bringing about the legal death of discrimination. The litigation that resulted in the admission of James Meredith to the University of Mississippi, Charlayne Hunter Gault and Hamilton Holmes to the University of Georgia, Vivian Malone and James Hood to the University of Alabama, and Harvey Gantt to Clemson College in South Carolina are some of her better known cases.
When President Lyndon Johnson appointed Constance Baker Motley to the United States District Court in 1966, she became the first black woman appointed to the federal judiciary. On her election to the New York senate in 1964 she became the first black woman to serve in that branch of the legislature, and she was the first woman Manhattan borough president (1965-66).
This year marks the eighth annual lecture at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum commemorating the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Everyone is welcome to join with the Athenaeum and the Office of Black Student Affairs for this rare opportunity to meet and hear one of this nation's most distinguished jurists.
Economic Literacy for Personal and Political Renewal
A Swedish anthropologist, linguist, and author, Helena Norberg-Hodge has lived half of each year for nearly two decades in rural Ladakh, otherwise known as "Little Tibet." Motivated by experiences there, she has taken a leading role as an environmentalist, questioning common Western perceptions of the benefits of progress, economic growth, and technological advances.
To Norberg-Hodge, today's most crucial issue is the "globalization of an economic system totally lacking in human values, based only on the maximization of production."
In 1978 Norberg-Hodge founded and now directs the Ladakh Project and its parent organization, the International Society for Ecology and Culture, with offices in London, Ladakh, and Berkeley, California. In her book, Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh (1991), Norberg-Hodge compares the rapidly changing Ladakhi society to industrialized societies and criticizes the dominant development ethos for "promoting relentless economic growth, straining the limits of nature and all but ignoring fundamental human needs." Norbert-Hodge's mission has not been to preserve the status quo in Ladakh, but to introduce appropriate technologies that ease the rigorous life at 14,000 feet using renewable sources of energy.
For her work, Helena Norberg-Hodge was awarded the Right Livelihood Award in 1986, otherwise known as the "Alternative Nobel Prize," created to honor people dedicated to the improvement of the human condition. Ancient Futures was selected as one of Sustainable Future Society's "Best Environmental Books" of 1995.
Government and Philosophy Faculty Debate:
The Criminal Justice System Should Be Based on Retribution
A dearth of interdepartmental debates at CMC is finally being rectified as the government and philosophy departments square off in a formal duel of wits and intellect at the Athenaeum. Claremont McKenna College professors Mark Blitz, James Nichols, John Roth, and Steven Smith will represent their respective departments. The event will be student-directed, and the questions will remain undisclosed until the time of the debate in order to ensure spontaneity.
The debaters for government are academics of the finest caliber. Mark Blitz, the Fletcher Jones Professor of Political Philosophy, received his A.B. and his Ph.D. from Harvard University. A recent arrival at CMC, Blitz is teaching Leadership in Management during the spring semester. Jim Nichols, Jr. received his B.A.. from Yale College and his Ph.D. from Cornell University. Nichols is teaching Introduction to Political Philosophy and Political Philosophy and Foreign Policy during the spring semester.
The government team will be put to the test by John Roth, the Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy, who received his B.A. from Pomona College and his Ph.D. from Yale University. Roth was recognized in 1988 as the national Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. He is teaching the Philosophy Seminar for the politics, philosophy, and economics program (PPE) during spring semester. Steven Smith, who earned his B.A. from Earlham College and his Ph.D. from Harvard, will be teaching Theories of the Good Life and Environmental Ethics during the spring semester.
You will not want to miss an event that promises to be entertaining, interesting, and intellectually stimulating, as well as providing the opportunity to become acquainted with four of CMC's most popular and distinguished teachers.
Con Gioia Early Music Ensemble: Concert Commemorating Mozart's 241st Birthday (January 27), Schubert's 200th Birthday (January 31), and the 150th Anniversary of the Death of Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel (1805-1847)
MARYBETH HAAG, soprano
CHARLES ZUKOVSKY, clarinet
ROLAND KATO, viola
PREETHI DE SILVA, fortepiano/director
Based in Claremont, Con Gioia ("With Joy") is composed of some of the best performers of early music in the United States and they are often joined by prominent musicians from Europe. Following its debut in 1982, the ensemble has continued to provide Southern California audiences with outstanding early music performances on period instruments.
The program this evening will include Mozart's Trio in E-Flat, K498 (Kegelstatt), Schubert's The Shepherd on the Rock, and a selection of songs by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel.
Preethi de Silva, founder-director of Con Gioia, is an internationally acclaimed concert and recording artist on the harpsichord and fortepiano. She has recorded several volumes of keyboard works by C.P.E. Bach, as well as three piano concertos by Mozart. She holds diplomas in performance from the Royal Academy of Music, London, and the Hochschule fuer Musik, Berlin, and earned the doctorate in musical arts at Yale University. She is a professor of music at Scripps College and serves on the faculty of The Claremont Graduate School.
MaryBeth Haag is a frequent recitalist in the Los Angeles area. In addition to her 16 operatic roles, she has performed chamber music at the Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute and the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival. She is on the music faculty of Scripps College and The Claremont Graduate School.
Roland Kato is principal violist of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. He also has appeared as soloist and recitalist on both viola and viola d'amore at national and international music festivals. He performs regularly with period instrument ensembles and has recorded works by Telemann and contemporary composers.
Charles Zukovsky, a graduate of UCLA, performs on clarinet, recorder, and baroque oboe. He has played with virtually every orchestra in the Southland, from the Debut Orchestra to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, as well as in numerous chamber music groups performing on period instruments.
This concert is the second in the Stotsenberg Chamber Music Series, funded by a generous gift from Ed and Dorothy Stotsenberg, friends of CMC.
Berlin 2000: The Center of Europe
How is German reunification progressing in the formerly divided Berlin? What does Germany's decision to move its capital back to the heart of Europe mean for the European Union's trade, investment, and expansion into Central Europe? David Doud '90 addresses these intriguing questions and more in his discussion of the dynamic developments in reunification. He will look at the challenges faced by East Germans adapting to a democratic, capitalist economy and the negative impact of Western prejudices, the legacy of the East German communist regime, antiforeigner violence, the asylum law crisis, and foreign integration policy.
Doud provides an insider's perspective into Germany, using his experience as the only American staff member in the Berlin government from 1991 to 1993. Doud also worked as staff fellow for Congressman Gilman on the International Relations Committee in the United States House of Representatives 103rd Congress and for the House Wednesday Group on NATO expansion. Berlin 2000: The Center of Europe was published in 1995.
Doud received his B.A. from Claremont McKenna College in chemistry and government and did his graduate work at Berlin's Humboldt University.
Take advantage of this opportunity to meet one of CMC's distinguished alumni as the Athenaeum continues to mark the College's 50th anniversary.
Invading Mars
0n July 4, 1997 earthlings will invade Mars. Mars Pathfinder and its microwave-oven-sized rover, Sojourner, will land in an ancient flood channel and try to determine the composition of Mars. In March of 1998 Mars Global Surveyor will begin a two-earth-year mapping mission to study the surface and atmosphere of the red planet. These missions will be followed every 26 months by additional missions to search for water and clues to whether life ever began on Mars.
As director of the Mars program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Donna Shirley has overseen much of our speeded-up travel agenda to the little red planet, which is half the size of Earth. When the spaceship Pathfinder was launched for Mars on December 3, it was Shirley who showed up the next day on Good Morning America, Today, and The Jim Lehrer News Hour to explain how the ship was built, why it is going to Mars, what we expect to find there, and what it all means.
An engineer, not a scientist, Shirley has an M.S. in aerospace engineering plus 30 years experience in aerospace and civil systems, including 20 years in management. "If you're an engineer, you can build a robot, ship it to Mars, talk to it, and hear it talk back. You can build new things that no one has ever built before. That's what engineers do."
Even if you haven't read Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles (1950), don't miss the opportunity to learn about an exciting "out of this world" adventure from the person in charge of it all.
The Economic Payoff to Education
Is going to college really worth the money? This is the question that Princeton economist Orley Ashenfelter '64 attempts to answer as he investigates the correlation between education level and income. As an educator, he would prefer to think that individuals pursue learning because they enjoy it. However, since the answer also has to do with the limits on our resources, the role of education as an investment also needs to be addressed.
Ashenfelter's creative approach to the study of higher education and earning ability relies heavily on data collected from twins and other closely related individuals. The economist enjoys working with tough quantitative problems that do not necessarily have ready solutions.
Ashenfelter is the first member of his family to go to college. He came to CMC on a scholarship from the Rohr Corporation. Although he was originally interested in engineering, he soon fell in love with economics. CMC economist Orme Phelps lured him into the teaching profession by telling him that, as an academic, he would be able to speak his mind. "Don't expect to hear straight answers on Wall Street. Academic economists don't usually have a vested interest in the information they hand out in the classroom. Of course, once an academic economist has been hired by a politician or a law firm, watch out!"
Except for time spent studying and teaching in England and working in the Department of Labor, Ashenfelter has been at Princeton University since he graduated from Claremont Men's College in 1964.
Anatomy of an Inefficient Market: Wine
Wine connoisseurs turn up their noses at his work and members of elite wine-tasting circles express open disgust, but Orley Ashenfelter '64 has brought something new to the study of fine wines: economic analysis. Debate on Bordeaux and Cabernet has long been confined to the romantic writings of critics and wine tasters. What could not be deduced by the nose or the pallet has traditionally been left to guesswork for the serious wine collector. Ashenfelter, a Princeton economist and CMC alumnus, is among the first to bring objective study into the field of wine collecting.
According to Ashenfelter, who specializes in labor issues, economics does not receive enough attention in the press. He believes that the economic aspect of most events, like wine collecting, is sadly overlooked. After buying wines for a few years, Ashenfelter was amazed at many simple correlations between wine and weather that are seldom discussed in print.
Ashenfelter's innovative approach to wines and wine purchasing led him to found the Liquid Assets newsletter for wine lovers. The semiannual publication provides objective information on the auction prices of wine around the world. "Wine writers just hate us," says Ashenfelter.
Orley Ashenfelter is an economist who is not afraid to look at unconventional topics and apply numerical analysis to all areas of life, whether fine arts, hotels, or impressionist painters. Please join us for a fascinating discussion of fine wines, economics, and the "Bordeaux equation."
Poet Reads from His Work
Anthony Hecht is among the finest poets and critics of the last 40 years. Brilliantly crafted and dignified, his poems embody both intellectual power and an unnerving ability to explore the grotesque suffering of humanity in history and the painful isolation of private life. The Pulitzer Prize, Bollingen Prize, and Prix de Rome are among the awards that testify to his indelible impact on modern literature.
In addition to several volumes of poetry, including The Hard Hours (1967), A Summoning of Stones (1954), Millions of Strange Shadows (1977), and The Venetian Vespers (1979), Hecht has published numerous essays and translations, including his grand study of the poetry of W. H. Auden, The Hidden Law (1993). His most recent book is Flight Among the Tombs (1996).
He was born in New York City on January 16, 1923 and studied at Bard and Kenyon Colleges and at Columbia University. In between stints at school, Hecht served in the Army from 1943 until 1946 in France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, and for eight months of occupation duty in Japan. He has taught at Bard, Smith, the University of Rochester, and, since 1985, has been professor of English at Georgetown University.
Please join us to hear one of the most accomplished and brilliant of modern American poets.
An Account of Homer's Iliad
Christopher Logue's account of Homer's Iliad (800 B.C.E.) is one of the major achievements of postwar English poetry. George Steiner has called it "a work of genius ... the most magnificent act of translation going on in the English language at the moment," while Louis MacNeice praised it as "not a translation but a remarkable achievement of empathy," and Henry Miller exclaimed, "I'm crazy about it. Haven't seen such poetry in ages."
Logue has given an apt description of what his Iliad is all about: "I want to write a dramatic poem in English that is dependent on the Iliad, and yet will revitalize narrative verse. I aim to make my Homer poem true to my idea of the Iliad. " With cinematic speed and haunting lyric power, Logue gives us a close-up view of war unlike anything else in recent poetry.
Christopher Logue was born in 1926 in Portsmouth, England, and was educated at Prior Park College, Bath, and Portsmouth grammar school. He moved to Paris in 1951, where he met and worked with, among other writers, Samuel Beckett.
His first book of poems, Wand and Quadrant, was published in 1953, followed by Devil, Maggot, and Son (1956). He moved back to London in 1958 and went on to produce poetry, translations of Villon and Neruda, plays, films, scripts, and songs, including the album, Red Bird (1959), the most successful British poetry/jazz disc. He has been a contributor to the satirical magazine Private Eye since 1960 and has published two collections from his column, "True Stories" (1973 and 1980). Logue's account of the Illiad has been published in three volumes, War Music: An Account of Books Sixteen to Nineteen of Homer's Iliad (1981), Kings: An Account of Books One and Two of Homer's Iliad (1991), and The Husbands: An Acocunt of Books Three and Four of Homer's Iliad (1995), and all will be issued in a single volume this spring from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
This is Logue's first trip to California from his home in London. Please join us for this rare performance of a major work of contemporary English poetry.

Well then! What a dramatic re-entry to Downton Abbey! Our recap by Amie Simon will help you recall some of the best lines and keep that glow going while we wait a week for episode 2. It's quite long, as warrants an entirely new season with new story lines, new characters and new fashions.
You can watch this entire episode online at video.KCTS9.org (desktop version) or at video.pbs.org (mobile-friendly version). Please note, video is US only at both sites.
Already following @KCTS9 but find our live-tweeting insufficient to fill your days with tweets? Last season, we "met" many of the characters on twitter and are happy to introduce you. Likewise, several actors are online from time to time. And of course there are the official hashtag (#DowntonPBS) and our fearless livechat leaders to follow for facts and fun.
Do watch out for spoilers and excessive silliness from time to time. (Not all tweeters will be suitable for all readers.)
When Masterpiece Classic first brought Downton Abbey to the United States in January 2011, it seemed unlikely at first that the program would include an American character amidst the British peerage. But as guest blogger Tara Austen Weaver reports, the story of American brides is even more surprising (and common) than as depicted in our favorite drama.
In addition to our recaps, we are pleased to bring you a series on the dining styles and other habits of the Downton Abbey era, written and researched by guest blogger Tara Austen Weaver. As with other posts, there are at least mild spoilers, and so we make every effort to post them as appropriate to the US broadcasts and warn you liberally so you may avoid "those" moments.
And now, on with the show!
As previously noted, the season 2 Christmas Special ran after the regular season in the UK—perhaps we can think of it as post-season play? Mercifully for North American viewers, we are able to air them as season finale episodes on PBS without further delay. (Can you imagine if we had to wait any longer?!?) But they are special, and so our guest blogger Amie Simon has penned for us this special recap of the season 2 Christmas Special.
Are there spoilers? But of course! Click through if you're ready to find out who finds love in the twinkling lights of Christmas at Downton in season 2…
We know what it's like. You've got your drink, your snack and your internet connection all ready by 8:59 sharp, poised to devour every line and every moment of Downton Abbey season 3 in sheer delight. And then—the doorbell rings! The husband/wife/mother-in-law bursts in! YOU MISS A LINE! Don't let it happen to you. Click here to download and print your own, personal "Do Not Disturb" sign PDF. Go ahead, take care of it now. You don't want to risk being unprepared for this season.
We resume our recaps with Season 2, wherein… well, we won't spoil it for you in the opener! Click through to read what happens when Downton goes to war. Note that in the UK, the "season finale" aired as a Christmas special—a TV phenomenon observed with great passion across the pond and less so stateside. We cover that episode in a separate, blissfully snow-kissed post.
As you will have noticed, the crowd grows each season in the signature Downton Abbey poster image. A deck of flash cards might come in handy—perhaps you'll want to get your scissors, markers and tape out and create a set using this blog post. After all, there are approximately 166 to 167 hours between each new episode. You might as well be productive in your spare time.
Spoiler alert: Characters added each season do give away some plot details. Proceed with caution. Season 3 characters will be added as they appear.
Have you watched the sneak peek at season three of Downton Abbey on Facebook and thought, I've got to catch up by Sunday!? Perhaps you've forgotten which character is which, or why exactly Thomas is looking at the newcomer with that glint in his eye. You are in luck! Guest blogger Amie Simon has thoughtfully reviewed every episode of seasons one and two, and we herewith present them for your reading pleasure. Today, part one, covering season one—a quick read, with a few highlights at the end. Stay with us for part two (Scandal), the Christmas episode (aka "the season finale," stateside) and a character glossary (especially helpful when tweeting!). Then as the season gets underway, Amie will keep us up-to-date with each episode—in case you miss a plot twist or just want to refresh your zingers.
Please note, these posts are full of spoilers by their very nature. Please don't say we didn't warn you. And with that, we bring you: Catching Up with Downton Abbey: Secrets, Scandal, and Resolution.
Hugh Bonneville (on Twitter @hughbon) tweeted this photo from the NYC subway. Much of the cast is in New York for publicity around season 3, and they'll be online live Wednesday night, 12/12, 5pm Seattle time. Watch the video right from our Downton Abbey homepage (or here):
