"I coordinate both the short and long term flow of the Facial Nerve Center. My responsibilities run the gamut from addressing individual patients' needs, through care coordination and assistance with complex insurance issues, to general patient advocacy. I particularly enjoy the complexity of the facial paralysis population; to watch someone from their first arrival, through their plan of care, and to a positive outcome is such a pleasure to see."

Comments about Roana:
I LOVE Tsubo's take on the ballet flat with the Roana. They go adorably with nearly everything. I get a ton of compliments on them from friends. I've had the Black patent ones for about 6 months, and am getting the yellow ones for spring/summer. Sure you can get ballet flats for less, but these are real patent leather, and they don't look like every other ballet flat out there. They're totally worth it. The only con for me is that they took just a bit of breaking in to be totally comfortable, but I expect that with any new shoes. I wear an 8 to 8.5, and the 8.5 in these were a must.

Wood and Metal
Metal is slowly replacing wood as a major residential roofing material. Cedar shakes and shingles have a classic, natural look, but they are typically less fire-resistant and require more maintenance than metal roofing. The wood must be painted, cleaned and dried regularly.
Metal roofs start at about the same price as cedar, but metal roofs require minimal maintenance and are very lightweight and weather-resistant. They look best on modern homes, and they are a good option in southeastern states because they can withstand tropical storms. They require professional installation, but homeowners can save money by covering existing shingles and avoiding tear-off costs.
Consider cost, durability, aesthetics and climate when choosing a roofing material. While asphalt shingles are the most popular material, stone, wood, rubber or metal may be the best choice for your home.

Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from plants. Essentially non-drinkable grain alcohol, it is produced by fermenting plant sugars. It can be made from corn, sugar cane and other starchy agricultural product. The cellulose in agricultural wastes such as waste woods and corn stalks (cellulosic ethanol) can also be used as a base. In the U.S., most ethanol is currently made from corn, although because of rapidly developing research, cellulosic ethanol may soon become a larger part of the market.
While pure ethanol is rarely used for transportation fuel, there are several ethanol-gasoline blends in use today. E85 is a blend of 85 percent denatured ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. In certain areas, higher percentages of gasoline will be added to E85 during the winter to ensure that vehicles are able to start at very cold temperatures.
E85 cannot be used in a conventional, gasoline-only engine. Vehicles must be specially designed to run on it. The only vehicles currently available to U.S. drivers are known as flex fuel vehicles (FFVs), because they can run on E85, gasoline or any blend of the two. Much like diesel fuel, E85 is available at specially-marked fueling pumps. Today, nearly 700 fueling stations offer it. (Source: EPA / Photo: photosbyjim/iStockphoto)

Teachers on base will not be exempt from sequestration furloughs in the coming months, leaving base schools at risk for losing accreditation and threatening the quality of education.
Amanda Hernandez, the secretary of the Johnson Primary School Parent and Teacher Association aboard
"We haven't been given any information at this time except for what's in the media," Hernandez said. "We have an amazing staff who work hard for our teachers. The PTA gives its full support to the staff and will continue to do so in all ways possible no matter how the sequester affects us."
On March 1, sequestration took effect causing automatic cuts to the federal budget across most departments and agencies. In total, $85 billion in cuts are mandated across the country. Permanent government employees, such as teachers and staff of Department of Defense schools, will be forced to take 22 furlough days per year. Temporary employees will be released indefinitely and term employees will not get their contracts renewed.
Assistant Superintendent of Lejeune Schools Dr. Harriet Boykin said base school officials are not at liberty to discuss the potential impact of the sequester.
Spokeswoman for the Defense Department, Cmdr. Leslie Hull-Ryde said the DoD will do everything it takes "to provide students a full school year of academic credit and maintain school accreditation standards."
"(The Department of Defense) is reviewing all areas of its budget for potential savings," she said. "As we continue to closely review the DoD's budget on how to most effectively implement the furlough, we are committed to mitigating the impact of sequestration on our students."
There are currently more than 84,000 students attending 194 Department of Defense schools around the world. More than 15,000 employees work for DOD schools. Between
Schools off-base are, likewise, not immune to budget cuts.
Suzanne Ulbrich, the public information assistant for Onslow County Schools, said they don't know yet what their budget will look like in the future. The 38 schools in the county, educating nearly 25,000 students, currently receive Federal Impact Aid.
"While the effects of sequestration are unknown at this time, cuts are estimated to be in the $1 million to $2 million range per year," Ulbrich said. "We rely on state, local and federal sources for our operation, and all funding streams will have to be evaluated for most efficient use of funds."
Ulbrich said Onslow County Schools will weather the storm.
"Moving forward, as we have in the past, we will do everything we can do to protect our students and employees," she said.

Rogue Forces
Rogue Forces (Hardcover)
The clash of civilizations will be won . . . by thte highest bidder
What happens when America's most lethal military contractor becomes uncontrollably powerful?
His election promised a new day for America . . . but dangerous storm clouds are on the horizon. The newly inaugurated president, Joseph Gardner, pledged to start pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq on his first day in office—no questions asked. Meanwhile, former president Kevin Martindale and retired Air Force lieutenant-general Patrick McLanahan have left government behind for the lucrative world of military contracting. Their private firm, Scion Aviation International, has been hired by the Pentagon to take over aerial patrols in northern Iraq as the U.S. military begins to downsize its presence there.
Yet Iraq quickly reemerges as a hot zone: Kurdish nationalist attacks have led the Republic of Turkey to invade northern Iraq. The new American presi dent needs to regain control of the situation—immediately—but he's reluctant to send U.S. forces back into harm's way, leaving Scion the only credible force in the region capable of blunting the Turks' advances.
But when Patrick McLanahan makes the decision to take the fight to the Turks, can the president rein him in? And just where does McLanahan's loyalty ultimately lie: with his country, his commander in chief, his fellow warriors . . . or with his company's shareholders?
In Rogue Forces, Dale Brown, the New York Times bestselling master of thrilling action, explores the frightening possibility that the corporations we now rely on to fight our battles are becoming too powerful for America's good.
About the Author

A former captain in the U.S. Air Force and a current mission pilot in the Civil Air Patrol, he often flies his own plane in the skies over America.

I bought Amore eterno because I couldnt get my usual 2 fragrances and it was on offer. It was a gift for my partner. It is a lovely fresh daytime scent and the packaging is great as it comes as 2 small bottles, ideal for taking away, enclosed in a metal tube.

I this the scent, it does smell good but it reminds me of a cheap, strong perfume. My favorite perfume is Hypnotic Poison by Dior and it said that this one was similar in scent. Thats NOT true, it does not smell like it. Like I said, its does smell good but a cheap good smell (if that makes sense)

Nightshirt Saves Christmas Day My niece's husband requested a nightshirt for Christmas, but I couldn't find one in any local stores. Fortunately I found 3 styles of men's nightshirts at The Vermont Country Store. I ordered Dec.17 and thank goodness i paid extra for shipping because a blizzard hit my city and delayed the shipment. I received my order Dec.21, just in time to gift wrap it for Christmas. My niece's husband loves the nightshirt.

PRESTONSBURG — Some of the top ranking officials with Kentucky State Police were at Riverview Health Care Thursday to pay tribute to a piece of living history.
KSP Commander Rodney Brewer, Trooper Island Director Endre Samu, Post 9 Commander Sean P. Welch and many other officers visited the nursing home in order to honor Riverview resident and retired trooper Chester Potter, who is the last surviving member of the Kentucky State Police Academy's first graduating class from 1948.
"I tell many stories [to new cadets], but I always tell them we are standing on the shoulders of those who came before us, and that is you," Brewer told Potter.
Potter, 93, received a number of gifts during the ceremony, including framed pictures and a designation by Brewer as a "Colonel Aide du Camp." Potter's name will also be added to a memorial being constructed at Trooper Island.
Trooper Island currently has a fundraiser by which donors can purchase bricks and have them engraved with a name. Those bricks will become part of the structure of the memorial being built.
When the fundraiser was announced, officers and employees of Post 9 collected money in order to purchase one of the bricks and engrave it with Potter's name. Samu had the brick with him Thursday to show to Potter, and he told him that it would be placed directly in front of an eternal flame that is part of the memorial.

Your Guide to Birth Control: Condoms
Introduction to Male Condoms
Birth control is a way for men and women to prevent pregnancy. There are many different methods of birth control; some types also protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Condoms are one type of birth control that in addition to preventing pregnancy also prevent the spread of STDs.
There are two types of condoms, the male condom and the female condom.
What Is a Male Condom?
The male condom, or "rubber," is a thin covering made of latex, plastic, or animal membrane that is rolled over an erect penis. The covering prevents semen, the fluid that contains sperm, from entering a woman's vagina.
What Are Male Condoms Made of?
Most condoms are made of a type of rubber called "latex." Latex condoms are the most effective condom at preventing STDs. Recently, condoms made of polyurethane (a type of plastic) have become available. These are more expensive than latex condoms and seem to break more easily. They are mainly useful for people who are allergic to latex. There are also "natural" condoms, which are made of animal membranes (lambskin). These are expensive and although they are effective at preventing pregnancy they do not decrease the spread of many sexually transmitted diseases.
What Types of Latex Condoms Are There?
Condoms come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. Here are some characteristics to consider when buying condoms.

Key shots lead Lynnwood girls past Lake Stevens and into district title game
Royals hit two big shots near end of first half and ride momentum to 45-36 victory
Lynnwood, which had led early, was in trouble as halftime approached thanks to a 13-0 run by Lake Stevens, but the Royals scored twice to end the quarter -- as well as the Vikings' run -- then carried that momentum into the second half on the way to a 45-36 victory in the semifinals of the 4A District 1 Tournament.
"That gave us a little bit of momentum," said Lynnwood coach Everett Edwards. "They were playing very good defense and taking us out of some of the things that we wanted to do. It was a situation where getting those last couple of buckets before the half gave us some confidence going into the third quarter, then we had a very good third quarter and were able to hang on for the win."
Lynnwood, which improved to 21-1, plays Arlington (19-3) at 8 p.m. Saturday at Mountlake Terrace High School for the District championship. The victory also assures the Royals a trip to the state regionals.
After the Royals took an eight point lead early in the second quarter, the Vikings came storming back thanks to a 13-0 run sparked by the Pahukoa twins. Brooke Pahukoa started things off with a layup, then twin sister Brittney took over, scoring eight straight points. But just when it looked like the Vikings might be taking over the game, Lynnwood senior post Linda Wilson ended the run with a layup, then after a Vikings miss, Mikayla Pivec scored with 10 seconds left in the half to make it a one-point game. From there, the Royals outscored Lake Stevens 23-13 in the second half.
"We knew it was going to be that kind of game, kind of nip and tuck," said Vikings coach Randy Edens. "That little momentum stretch right before the half where we had gone up five, and they came back with a 4-0 run, then we turned it over and didn't get the last shot, that was a big sequence. That allowed for some momentum for them."
Once the Royals took the lead midway through the third quarter, they never trailed, but the Vikings did make things close late in the fourth quarter, eventually making it a three-point game on a Kali Long layup. Senior Arsenia Ivanov responded with a three-pointer on just her second field-goal attempt of the game, giving Lynnwood some much-needed breathing room.
Pivec, a freshman wing, scored a game-high 18 points and had 10 rebounds to go along with that big bucket to end the first half. She opened the game by scoring six first-quarter points as the Royals took the early lead, then finished strong by draining a pair of free throws in the final minute to help put the game on ice.
"I just tried to be aggressive, because that's what my coach tells me to do," Pivec said. "I was just glad we go the win. It was huge."
Edwards wasn't surprised to see the freshman step up on a big stage.
"Mikayla is a very talented player for her age," Edwards said. "She has a level of maturity and basketball smarts about her that is just exceptional for a freshman."
Fellow freshman Jordyn Edwards had eight points for Lynnwood, while Wilson added six points and 10 rebounds.
The Vikings (15-7) will host the winner of the consolation game between Kamiak and Jackson at 7 p.m. Wednesday in a loser-out game, hoping their offense can match the solid defensive effort put up in Saturday's loss.
"Defensively we were great; on offense we just couldn't get shots to go down," Edens said. "It was tough. . . It was just one of those low scoring affairs."
Brittney Pahukoa led the Vikings with 15 points, while Brooke Pahukoa had nine.

Instructions a little unclear, but I called Curt and they quickly answered my question. This hitch was recommended to me by the Jeep dealer as a solution to allow me to tow 3,500lbs instead of the 2,000 lbs, that my 2012 Jeep Rubicon would normally be able to tow. I used the Curt W.D.S. to tow my race car at freeway speed and I could hardly tell I was towing anything.

We're always looking for contributions! Here are some ways to participate in Cargo's development:
- By sending feedback to the user or dev mailing lists. The feedback could be about something that does not work, something that could be improved, a feature you'd like to see, etc. Or simply it could be that you're a happy user. Letting us know helps a lot!
- By answering emails from others on the mailing lists.
- By sending code patches. In that case there are a few rules you need to know.
- By spreading the word about Cargo!
Creating and submitting a patch
When you have either completed an issue or just want some feedback on the work you have done, create a patch and attach the patch to the issue in question. We have a couple of guidelines when creating patches:
- Always create the patch from the root of the maven project, i.e. where the pom.xml file is.
- Always provide a single patch and not several diff files. If you're adding new files, svn add them first so that they appear within the single patch file.
- If this was a new piece of work without a JIRA issue, create a JIRA issue for it now.
- Attach the patch to the JIRA issue you were working on (do not paste its content in as a comment though). When adding the patch add a comment to the issue explaining what it does. Shortly after, someone will apply the patch and close the issue.
An example on how to create a patch from the command line:
$ svn diff > CARGO-123-something.patch
If you are picking up an issue with a existing patch attached to the issue you can apply the patch to your working directory directly from JIRA like this. The
wget and
patch commands will only be available if you are on a UNIX platform or using Cygwin on Windows.
$ wget -O - -q <URL to the patch from JIRA> | patch -p0
If the patch is in a local file
CARGO-123.patch and you want to apply that use this command:
$ patch -p0 < CARGO-123.patch
A couple of notes:
- If you are using another tool for creating patches, make sure that the patch doesn't include absolute paths. Including absolute paths in the patch will make the useless for us as we most likely don't have the same directory structure as you.
- Make sure that you follow our code style.
Patch acceptance criteria
There are a number of criteria that a patch will be judged on:
- Whether it works and does what is intended. This one is probably obvious!
- Whether it fits the spirit of the project. Some patches may be rejected as they take the project in a different direction to that which the current development community has chosen. This is usually discussed on an issue well before a patch is contributed, so if you are unsure, discuss it there or on the mailing lists first. Feel free to continue discussing it (with new justification) if you disagree, or appeal to a wider audience on the mailing lists.
- Whether it contains tests. It is expected that any patches relating to functionality will be accompanied by unit tests and/or integration tests. It is strongly desired (and will be requested) for bug fixes too, but will not be the basis for not applying it. At a bare minimum, the change should not decrease the amount of automated test coverage. As a community, we are focusing on increasing the current coverage, as there are several areas that do not receive automated testing.
- Whether it contains documentation. All new functionality needs to be documented for users, even if it is very rough for someone to expand on later. While rough is acceptable, incomplete is not. As with automated testing, as a community we are striving to increase the current coverage of documentation.
Above all, don't be discouraged. These are the same requirements the current commiters should hold each other to as well.
And remember, your contributions are always welcome!
Coding rules
If you submit a patch you need to follow these rules:
- Copyright your code to Vincent Massol (see license explanations)
- Do not use an @author tag (there was a big discussion on this in Apache land - We need to put the link here)
- Ensure that your code passes the build. Note that the build contains some Checkstyle checks that your code must pass.
- Ensure that you have unit tests and/or integration tests (as part of the existing Cargo test suites)
- Use the same code formatting as the existing code.
- Create a JIRA issue and attach your patch to it.
- Create documentation for what you have added (Ask on the list and you'll get access to Cargo's wiki).
- Add your name on the Credits page.
In addition if you plan to contribute big patches that impact existing code, we recommend discussing it on the mailing list first.

Bob Skinstad helped SA Rugby magazine claim the runners-up award for SA Cover of the Year.
All magazines in South Africa – and not just sport – were able to enter this category at the PICA Awards – the industry's equivalent of the Oscars. The awards dinner was held last night at a banquet in Sandton.
Visi Magazine won gold, with SA Rugby second.
Skinstad appeared topless on our March cover, just as he was preparing to make his comeback with the Sharks. Many said he was over the hill and stood no chance of earning a place in the Boks' World Cup squad later in the year. However, Skinstad backed himself 100% and has a World Cup winners' medal to show for his efforts.
The new issue of SA Rugby magazine, with a jubilant John Smit on the cover, is on sale now. To subscribe, click on the link under the mag covers on the home page.

December 19, 2013
CHAPMANVILLE — Everyone contacted agrees that he is "a great student and a great person." Most even know that the 16-year-old shown in a photograph is planning to be a police officer.
The problem is: he isn't one yet.
In fact, the 16-year-old shown with Logan head coach Mark Hartcher in the photo is actually a junior at Chapmanville Regional High School.
Neither the photographer, Paul Adkins of The Logan Banner, nor any other reporter recognized that the man was not a deputy. In fact, he looks much older than the age reported.
But there seems no question, that the boy (the name is being withheld because he is a juvenile) was dressed to play the part of a policeman at the Scott-Logan basketball game in the Nationwide Insurance Basketball Classic held last week at CRHS.
It was after that game that Hatcher was charged by the Chapmanville Police Department with assault and battery on a police officer.
Although the arrest records report that Hatcher is accused of pushing a legitimate Chapmanville policeman, news of the young man's role in the scuffle that prompted the police response spread rapidly Thursday afternoon.
During a rebound battle following a hotly contested game between the Corridor G rivals, two opposing players became entangled. That's when other members of both teams rushed in and a melee followed. Coaches from both teams sprinted to the floor at about the same time that the law enforcement officers on duty in the gym responded. The officers came from the Logan County Sheriff's Department as well as the town of Chapmanville.
A video of the scene shows Hatcher apparently reaching toward one of his players while a Chapmanville police officer is crouched beside the pair who are still fighting. It is then that Hatcher apparently pushes the policeman, causing him to fall backward.
It appears that several officers then grabbed for Hatcher, one apparently the 16-year-old.
CRHS Principal Kathy Moore said she is aware of the situation.
"He's a great student and a fantastic person," she said. "Why he was out on the floor in what looked like a police uniform is beyond me."
Moore confirmed that the tournament director, George Barker, had requested officers from both the town and county "for something like this (the Hatcher altercation)."
Although a county commissioner said he knew the 16-year-old, who played football last year for CRHS, he said he had been told the lad is a "junior deputy in the sheriff's department." Others, including Moore, used the same terminology.
But that cannot be true, according to Logan Chief Deputy M. Mayes.
"We don't even have a junior deputy program," the chief deputy said. "I sure don't know what was going on there."
Mayes said the youth did work for the Logan County Sheriff's Department last summer but was not still working when he (Mayes) came to his position in August.
"He did summer work crew stuff, like maintenance," said the chief.
Mayes denied a rumor that the youngster had been riding with deputies on regular patrols.
"That just isn't true," he said.
The chief also reacted to eyewitness reports that the boy was wearing a sheriff's department uniform at the game.
"No he did not have on a deputy's uniform," the chief said. "He had on a black shirt that is similar to a deputy's uniform. He did not have a badge on it.
Despite the fact that Mayes said the boy purchased the shirt himself, he said one of his deputies informed the student not to wear it again at a public event. That admonition came before the melee, Mayes said.
"It did look too much like a sheriff's department shirt," he conceded.
Mayes said the evening of the brawl was the first time deputies had ever seen the student wearing that shirt.
Mayes defended all the law enforcement officers from Saturday night.
"They went out to break up a fight," he said. "And they did. They didn't have time to stand around trying to figure out who everybody on the floor was."
Sheriff Sonja Porter was unavailable for comment at presstime.

I received this as a Christmas gift. I like it's size and the light behind the water reminds me of a candle flame. The bad thing is two days later all I can hear is the motor. Not sure what to do about it, I added water but it doesn't seem to help

This fountain worked perfectly for about two weeks- long enough that I was confident throwing the receipt away. Now about a week later the lights have stopped working. They're LEDs and built into the fountain so they can't be replaced. The fountain still works but it's not quite as nice without the lights- one of the features we enjoyed most.

Easy to setup.
Lights are bright.
Runs VERY queit - something i was worried because its at my office.
The sound is suttle - can always adjust sound based on how i place the rocks.
A++ for the price..

Great product for the money. A bit smaller that I expected. Easy assembly and a very quite motor. Great for my bathroom vanity counter which has a zen theme. I would recommend to a friend. Actually, thinking seriously about getting another one for my office.

I had this product for about a week. It works GREAT. At first, you have to play around with the rocks and keep adjusting them time after time. After you have mastered that, you will hear a nice soothing sound of the water flowing down the ''leaves.'' The reason that i only gave it a 4 star rating instead of 5 is because the motor sometimes tend to be a little noisy, but not often if you take good care of it.

If you want the sound of water, this is the fountian for you. It may look simple when you take it from the box, but the open basin in the bottom can really put the water sound in your room. The only reason I gave this fountain four stars is due to having just one light instead of two. I would suggest this fountain to anyone that wants to add the soothing sound of falling water to your room.

Need advice to make a quality slide show of my trip
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 3/16/07 1:33 PM
My wife and I took our "trip of a lifetime" to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji--and brought home hundreds of digital photos. We want to make a top-quality slide show of these, featuring music, captions, dissolves, and fades. Can this be done by PowerPoint or should we buy special software? I have an OEM of Nero but haven't learned how to use it. Would this be useable for our purposes? Please guide us into what is needed for making DVDs of these treasured photos.

Hello Chuck C
First, to make DVDs of your photos, you will need photo slideshow software. This software may have come packaged with your camera. You will also need Video editing software; if your OEM Nero has Nero Vision with it, it will work for the video editing software requirement.
There is an excellent set of instructions and a tutorial on Microsoft's site that will walk you through the process. The link to that site is: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA100597371033.aspx?pid=CL100626991033#Video. The instructions, naturally, focus on PowerPoint and Microsoft products, but it gives instruction as to what is needed to make it possible to transition your slide show in PowerPoint to a video presentation. It also provides information on two free Microsoft products that can be used to create your DVD Photo Story 3 and Movie Maker (both for Windows XP). The links to these products are in the article. I would suggest that if your end goal is a DVD that you check these instructions out first. You can then build your slide show in such a way that it can be turned into a DVD with fewer frustrations on your part!
You don't indicate whether you have Nero Vision or the light version of Nero PhotoShow Express so I will just cover what I have found using these products. Nero Vision would make a good vehicle to convert your slide show to a video DVD presentation. Once you have your story board laid out, you can drag you photos to the film reel and apply transitions, sounds, etc. As to the photo editing software, I think you would be better off working with either your camera software or Photo Story 3 as I have found PhotoShow Express to be very limited on what can be done with it. PhotoShow Express seems to be designed more for quick, down-and-dirty presentations rather than sophisticated presentations.
I would recommend first building a slide show in PowerPoint, as you can build a stunning presentation in this product, share that with your friends and family through e-mail and the internet, and also use it as the foundation for your video DVD. With PowerPoint, you can put together a slide show that is quite professional in appearance, using transitions, sound, and effects for either individual slides or groups of slides. PowerPoint makes it very easy for you to lay out your pictures and manipulate them as needed in order to create the mood and follow the theme you have established.
Using either the Outline or the Slides view, you can visually lay out your slides and move them by simply click-hold-drag. In Outline view, you add your text, headlines, and other textual features while viewing the results in the viewing pane. In Slides view, you see a large view of the current slide, while seeing thumbnail views of your slides to the left of the viewing pane. This gives you a clear feel for your visual transitions and what your actual slide looks like with text and other effects. Finally, you can view up to 20-25 slides in the Slide Sorter view. What I like about this view is this: you can see the progression of your slides, and easily move them around if you find you need to make a change. It is also in this view that you can set, view and change transitions, animation schemes, and timings. This view is like a story board view, so it would be an easy transition for you to create your slide show for viewing in PowerPoint, and then use it to break your show up into the individual elements needed to convert to video DVD.
Depending on the version of PowerPoint that you have, you can apply a wide variety of transitions between each slide or groups of slides, you can record your own narrations for each slide, and you can control the timing so you can keep the sound and slide coordinated. To clarify this, early versions of PowerPoint allowed you to do all of the above; they just do not provide the variety of features that PowerPoint 2003 has. Also, by building a slide show in PowerPoint and adding your timing, sound effects, music and narration you will have your sound recordings, etc timed and noted for when you are ready to convert into video DVD.
PowerPoint 2003 added a strong line-up of what is termed "Animation", which is a fancy way of saying "slide transition". This feature offers themes ranging from subtle transition schemes such as "Faded wipe" to what is termed "Exciting", such as "Boomerang and exit". The "Faded wipe" brings your picture in, and any headings or text you have on the slide then fade in from the left until all text is displayed. In contrast, the "Boomerang and exit" has the slide popping into place on the slide, and then the text flies in from the right, boomerangs across the screen right to left to right again, finally "parking" on the slide exactly where you placed it. Quite exciting, actually to see this! The advantage to this is you can apply individual schemes that fit the "mood" of your picture.
You are not limited, however, to using Animation Schemes that someone else thought up. You can select individual slides and apply animations from the Slide Transition feature. PowerPoint offers the traditional "Dissolve" - one of my favorites, where your picture appears to digitize then come together as a whole - to "Wheel Clockwise, 8 Spokes". Let your creativity know no bounds!
You can insert sound files for a slide or group of slides, and you also have the option of creating a custom CD using music pieces that again enhance the mood and theme of your slide show. You can then set the timings to match the music, and play the CD at the same time the slide show is running. And all of this is controlled through features in PowerPoint.
To aid in making your sound as manageable and professional as possible, you can download a free add-in to PowerPoint, PFCExpress, to use in your sound management. The link to this file is http://www.pfcmedia.com/PFCExpressDownload.htm. Naturally, you can purchase their more robust products, but I would suggest you work with PowerPoint, keeping in mind that there are add-ins designed to help with problems you may run into.
I hope this information helps you.
And finally, thanks for the question! It got me so enthused that I am ready to work on my own project (which I have been putting off for some time now!).
Good luck and have fun with your project.

New No-Hassle Linen Drop-Collar Shirt 10 10
Wonderful Fabric I am a newcomer to linen. Some of the linen I have purchased is very thin & light weight; but the material in these shirts are is a little heavier and doesn't seem to wrinkle. I washed this shirt in cold water for about 15 minutes right after I received it. I then hung it on a hanger wet and let it dry. It didn't look limp or wrinkled when it was dry. I was surprised and very pleased. It seems much dressier than most of the linen I have seen. It was such a good purchase I bought 1 in both colors. July 30, 2014
Love these shirts Easy to wash and hang dry outside very well. Good shirt for work as cool in the outdoor heat, but warm enough to be comfortable in the office A/C. And they look good too. Just don't forget to cut open the stitch at the bottom of the back pleat, it's only there to keep the shirt tidy in shipping. July 4, 2014
Wanted to like but... I've thought about ordering this several times and finally did. This material was VERY stiff and would not be very comfortable and would probably be hard to wear under a sweater. Liked the cropped length. May 26, 2014
Linen drop-collar shirt I have one of these in every color, BUT- this year's shirt is a different combination of materials and it is itchy. Last year's was not! May 19, 2014
bring back old style I ordered two of these shirts a few years ago; previous fabric and design. I loved the other fabric and design much more than what is being sold now. Now the fabric is too heavy; petite shirt was 1 1/2 inches longer than previously. I don't like the pocket on side; what a waste. Please return to what you were selling before. May 5, 2014
Love, love, this style for comfort and appearance I like the pocket - not sure about the cuff. The fabric is not as light weight or wrinkle free as the previous version. Would love to have pants and shirt in black. April 28, 2014
Beautiful Beautiful color. Size is slightly roomy and boxy. Medium heavy in weight, it could be used as a jacket also. Because of my big chest, this does not fall below my hips. Does not seem to wrinkle as badly as most linen items. I love this shirt and have gotten many compliments. April 4, 2014
Good style,falls nicely at hips This is the 4th color that I have purchased of this linen top....my only complaint is that tends to "pill" under the arms...not sure why. I love the back pleat and the fact that there are not pockets that "dress down" this top. I can dress it up more with scarves, but on its own, it is dressy enough to wear with pants evening in the evening. April 3, 2014

Are you planning to circumcise your son?
You might favor circumcision if the practice is part of your faith or religious rituals. Concerns about personal hygiene sometimes factor into the decision. You might also view circumcision as a way to prevent any medical issues that could be associated with an uncircumcised penis — or you might simply want your son to look like other boys or men in the family (or the locker room).
On the other side of the debate, you might feel that circumcision is simply unnecessary or even disfiguring. Unless there's a medical need for the procedure, you might feel strongly about keeping your son's foreskin intact.
Whether you're learning toward or against circumcision, you might be surprised by how emotional the decision can become. Take my husband, for example. He assumed that our son would be circumcised and I was upset (as only a pregnant woman can be!) that he would think the decision would be automatic.
It gets even trickier if your partner is circumcised and you'd rather your son remain uncircumcised — or vice versa. If you're navigating this challenging situation, be careful to reassure your partner that your preference isn't a reflection on him or a statement about his own penis.
If you're having trouble agreeing on circumcision or the topic has become the elephant in the room, take charge. Set aside time to discuss your preferences. Review the risks and benefits, and then discuss what you want for your son. Even if you're expecting a girl, have the circumcision discussion — just in case there's a penis hiding from the ultrasound waves.
As you're discussing circumcision, remember that the decision isn't always analytical. It's OK to make the decision based on feelings and emotions. Talk to your partner, make your decision and then be at peace — knowing that you've made the best choice for your baby.
Did you discuss circumcision with your partner before pregnancy? Was it difficult to reach an agreement? Please share your stories.
Mary M. Murry, R.N., C.N.M.
Selecting "Submit" signifies that you have read and agree to our posting guidelines.
Good grief. Did staying "in tact" affect your ability to read and/or follow directions? The question was. "Did you discuss circumcision with your partner before pregnancy? Was it difficult to reach an agreement? Please share your stories."
Yes. My Husband and I did discuss this issue before we had our son and after we had our 8 daughters. We did extensive research, we prayed about it, we spoke with our friends around the world in Japan, Sri Lanka, Korea, London, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and of course all across the USA. After about 3.5 months of discussion, we chose to have our son circumcised.
It is time for doctors to stop this barbaric act on boys who are not given a choice in the matter. However, until this procedure is stopped on innocent babies boys, the medical profession should work to develop a safe and economical procedure to restore the foreskin. In this day and age, that should be possible. At least those boys who were circumcised and want to to whole again, will then have a choice.
Male circumcision is mutilation. Period... How arrogant to think that something that nature took thousands and thousands of years to perfect has to be removed because "it is not necessary"... I believe that in no more than a decade western society will come to look upon male circumcision as just a barbaric a practice as female circumcision is now considered to be...
I can't believe we're still mutilating baby boys in this country. And then when he cries at night you call it "colicky." If you're reading this and you have any doubt in your mind- don't do it.
It may be helpful for parents to perform an educated research review prior to making decisions. The American Academy of Pediatrics has evidence based material regarding supporting circumcision.
I don't know how a women can understand how a circumcised man feels. I have no calloused penis head and no loss of sensation. I actually have more sensation because I don't have any extra skin in the way sliding around.
Plus, my nephew was not circumcised, and the skin grew to the head of his penis. Surgery was required to have it removed. He was not to happy about it.
I am a European male and left my son's private parts alone. As a teenager he profoundly thanked me for it after observing his buddies in the showers. Not a smidgen of a feeling of 'not fitting in' on his mind - just gee, doesn't that hurt rubbing against your pants all day? Why is circumcision so prevalent in the US? Here one aspect of the (perhaps many more) reasons: According to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (of cornflake fame), "Circumcision in infancy is a good remedy for masturbation, it helps in most cases. It is important to perform surgery without using any anesthetic so that pain during an operation may affect the mind. It would be good if pain could be also associated with the idea of punishment. Cauterizing the clitoris with carbolic acid can help women combat the perverted ways of getting sexual pleasure." E.J. Spratling, MD. Medical Record, Masturbation in the Adult, vol. 48, no. 13, September 28, 1895, pp. 442-443). Read more about it in Wikipedia.
My doctor said she'd do the procedure if I offered to hold him down. That did it. I opted for no procedure.
Why is there a double standard for sons and daughters? A man has every right to decide for himself how he wants his his body to look and feel and how he keeps himself clean, protect himself from disease or treat any "medical issues". "Personal hygiene" means the PERSON who OWNS the penis, not the concerns of others, and it takes care of all these so called "benefits". Kids manage to learn how to complicated tasks like brushing their teeth and cleaning their genitals is much easier to figure out. Just like women, men don't need a scalpel to clean their genitals or to stay healthy. Parents cannot predict the future choices and preferences of their sons. The most responsible thing for parents to do is to leave it alone and let the guy decide for himself based on his own experience. Teach your son basic hygiene, safe sex and a positive body image instead of removing part of him. Circumcision of infant boys is the ultimate form of body-shaming, based on the idea that men are too stupid to clean themselves.
As a woman what would your stance be the same for female circumcision? I know people say its more traumatic for girls but the medical community forgets to mention that when comparing they are only including the worst form which is removal of the clitoral hood and the clitoris as well. The medical community fails to address thats ALL forms of any genital cutting is outlawed (as it should be) for girls despite religious practices. Why isnt it for boys? Foreskins are used for lotions ( see Oprahs lotion she is promoting), diabetic amputations and much more. Follow the money! If such a worthless piece of skin why then is it being used for these products. What happened to the DO NO HARM oath you swore to uphold? This violatesa boys Human Rights and our First Amendment Freedom of Religion.
For the baby: Circumcision interferes with maternal/infant bonding, disrupts breastfeeding and normal sleep patterns, and undermines the baby's first developmental task of establishing trust. Circumcision is painful even if an anesthetic is used, leaves both physical and psychological scars, and denies the baby's right to his whole body and his choice about the shape of his own genitals.
For the man the baby becomes: Circumcision removes the most sensitive part, the working part of the penis. It robs a man of the tens of thousands of nerve endings that encircle the opening of the foreskin, which allow a man's brain to know what his penis is feeling, and the loss of these is why circumcised men never ride the wave to orgasm and suffer premature ejaculation in early adulthood. Then, without the protective covering, the head (glans) becomes dried, hardened, and calloused, causing loss of sensation, sexual dysfunction, and far too often, impotence. No wonder the USA has the highest sales of Viagra in the world.
Circumcision is not a nice thing to do to a baby or the man that baby becomes. It is time to begin telling the truth about this unnecessary amputation of a normal body part of a non-consenting minor. This is NOT a medical issue, it's a human rights issue. His body, his choice!
Foreskin feels REALLY good. Seriously, it's the best part.
Any male whose right to decide about his own body was stolen by his parents has a legit beef. Most of the world is intact, and non-circumcising cultures tend to have far better health outcomes than the US, although the infant cutting rate in the US is close to 50/50 now.
Another incredibly pointless article on circumcision that says absolutely nothing new.
Unsurprisingly, there is one person missing from this discussion - the foreskin's OWNER and what he might want to do with it, 20-odd years from now, something it really isn't any of your business to be thinking about. His body, his choice.
Rated on the checklist at http://www.circumstitions.com/write.html, this article has a Coefficient of Objectivity and Circumcision Knowledge of four. You have tried to be "balanced" but there is no "balance" between cutting part of a person's genitals off and just leaving them alone. This goes without saying when the baby is a girl. It's time that in this department, boys started to get some of the equality guaranteed them by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Highlights 2010
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering studies of elementary excitations
L. J. P. Ament, M. van Veenendaal, T. P. Devereaux, J. P. Hill, and J. van den Brink
Accepted for publication in Rev. Mod. Phys.
In the past decade, Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) has made remarkable progress as a spectroscopic technique. This is a direct result of the availability of high brilliance synchrotron X-ray radiation sources and of advanced photon detection instrumentation. The technique's unique capability to probe elementary excitations in complex materials by measuring their energy-, momentum-, and polarization-dependence has brought RIXS to the forefront of experimental photon science. We review both the experimental and theoretical RIXS investigations of the past decade, focusing on those determining the low-energy charge, spin, orbital and lattice excitations of solids. We present the fundamentals of RIXS as an experimental method and then review the theoretical state of aaffirs, its recent developments and discuss the different (approximate) methods to compute the dynamical RIXS response. The last decade's body of experimental RIXS data and its interpretation is surveyed, with an emphasis on RIXS studies of correlated electron systems, especially transition metal compounds. Finally, we discuss the promise that RIXS holds for the near future, particularly in view of the advent of x-ray laser photon sources.
Observation of phonons with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering
H. Yavas, M. van Veenendaal, J. van den Brink, L. J. P. Ament, A. Alatas, B. M. Leu, M.-O. Apostu, N. Wizent, G. Behr, W. Sturhahn, H. Sinn, and E. E. Alp
J. Phys.: Cond. Mat. 22, 485601 (2010).
Phonons, the quantum mechanical representation of lattice vibrations, and their coupling to the electronic degrees of freedom are important for understanding thermal and electric properties of materials. For the first time, phonons have been
measured using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) across the Cu K-edge in cupric oxide (CuO). Analyzing these spectra using an ultra-short core-hole lifetime approximation and exact diagonalization techniques, we can explain the essential inelastic features. The relative spectral intensities are related to the electron-phonon coupling strengths.
Orbital magnetism and spin-orbit effects in the electronic structure of BaIrO3
M. A. Laguna-Marco, D. Haskel, N. Souza-Neto, J. C. Lang, V. V. Krishnamurthy, S. Chikara, G. Cao, and Michel van Veenendaal
Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 216407 (2010).
The electronic structure and magnetism of Ir 5d5 states in non-metallic, weakly ferromagnetic BaIrO3 is probed with x-ray absorption techniques. Contrary to expectation the Ir 5d orbital moment is found to be ~1.5 times larger than the spin moment. This unusual, atomic-like nature of the 5d moment is driven by a strong spin-orbit interaction in heavy Ir ions, as confirmed by the nonstatistical large branching ratio at Ir L2/3 absorption edges. As a consequence, orbital interactions cannot be neglected when addressing the nature of magnetic ordering in BaIrO3. The local moment behavior persists even as the metallic/paramagnetic phase boundary is approached with Sr doping or applied pressure.
Milestone Demonstrates Impact of Scientific Software
R. B. von Dreele and B. H. Toby
Crystallographic analysis of x-ray and neutron diffraction data is a widely used technique to provide three-dimensional (3-D) pictures of how atoms are arranged in materials, an essential first step toward understanding a material's function. Computer software is an indispensable part of the crystallographic analysis process. A recent citation milestone demonstrates the great contribution to science that is made by a pair of such programs authored by two Argonne scientists.
Fast intersystem crossing in transition-metal compounds
M. van Veenendaal, J. Chang, and A. J. Fedro
Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 067401 (2010).
The mechanism behind fast intersystem crossing in transition-metal complexes is shown to be a result of the dephasing of the photoexcited state to the phonon continuum of a different state with a significantly different transition metal-ligand distance. The coupling is a result of the spin-orbit interaction causing a change in the local moment. A recurrence to the initial state is prevented by the damping of the phonon oscillation. The decay time is faster than the oscillation frequency of the transition metal-ligand stretch mode, in agreement with experiment. For energies above the region where the strongest coupling occurs, a slower ''leakage-type'' decay is observed. If the photoexcited state is lower in energy than the state it couples to, then there is no decay.
High brightness photocathodes through ultra-thin surface layers on metals
K. Nemeth, K. C. Harkay, M. van Veenendaal, L. Spentzouris, M. White, K. Attenkofer, and G. Srajer
Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 046801 (2010).
We report how ultrathin MgO films on Ag(001) surfaces can be used to control the emittance properties of photocathodes. In addition to substantially reducing the work function of the metal surface, the MgO layers also favorably influence the shape of the surface bands resulting in the generation of highbrightness electron beams. As the number of MgO surface layers varies from 0 to 3, the emitted electron
beam becomes gradually brighter, reducing its transverse emittance to 0:06 mm mrad. We suggest the use of such photocathodes for the development of free-electron x-ray lasers and energy-recovery linac x-ray sources.
Ultrafast cascading theory in intersystem crossings in transition-metal complexes
J. Chang, A. J. Fedro, and M. van Veenendaal,
Phys. Rev B. 82, 075124 (2010).
This paper was selected for the September 2010 issue of the Virtual Journal of Ultrafast Science
We investigate the cascade decay mechanism for ultrafast intersystem crossing mediated by the spin-orbit coupling in transition-metal complexes. A quantum-mechanical description of the cascading process that occurs after photoexcitation is presented. The conditions for ultrafast cascading are given, which relate the energy difference between the levels in the cascading process to the electron-phonon self energy. These limitations aid in the determination of the cascade path. For Fe2+ spin-crossover complexes, this leads to the conclusion that the ultrafast decay primarily occurs in the manifold of antibonding metal-to-ligand charge-transfer states. We also give an interpretation why some intermediate states are bypassed.

What if you came home only to find two people you didn't know in your house? And what if they refused to leave? And what if they said they were going to move in? Well, according to her complaint, that is precisely what Lucasville resident Bethany Collins experienced Saturday night.
According to the official report from the Scioto County Sheriff's Office, Collins told authorities she came home, and there was a vehicle at her house, yet her door was still locked. Collins said, in her written statement, she found a man and woman in her kitchen, "smoking something in aluminum foil." She said the man told her they came through a window.
Collins said she did not know either of them, but the man identified himself as Dusty. She said she told them to leave and they refused, and the man told her they were going to move into her basement. According to Collins' statement, she called the homeowner, Terra Bair, who reportedly told her she knew Dusty, but he was not permitted on the property.
Collins went on to say she put the man on the phone with the homeowner, and the homeowner told him to leave, then told her he had to leave. However, according to Collins, he still refused to leave.
Meanwhile, Collins said the woman was wearing her clothes taken from her bedroom and her radio and old cell phone were in the basement where music was playing.
"I called police and left the house," Collins said in her statement.
Deputies arrived at the house and there they found a man and woman, and the man told them they came through the front door. Deputies arrested John D. Zumbro, 36, of 8797 Wigent Rd., Reading, Michigan and Danya L. Iden, 23, of 455 Arlington Ave., Newark, Ohio, and charged them with burglary.
Deputies also reported finding syringes, spoons and an unknown substance which field tested positive for methamphetamine. The two were transported to the Scioto County Jail where they were booked and processed.
