Tips for avoiding and curing Gringo Stomach Ailments in Mexico and Central America
Enjoy Mexico and South America with no Fear of Travelers Diarrhea.
Improving Conditions
Despite efforts from National programs to improve conditions in Mexico and South American hotels and food handlers, there are still risks. National programs are training hotels and food handlers in regards to sanitation and food processing. There are unannounced inspections to make sure resorts take improving these conditions seriously.
What to drink and not drink
In Mexico specifically, it is important to be cautious with what you eat and drink. Do not drink the water, unless it is bottled or purified. If you can't find bottled water or purified water drink juices, sodas, or mineral water. That means avoid brushing your teeth with the water as well. Peoples guide even said you can brush your teeth with Coca Cola.
What to eat and not eat
The most common reason for traveler's diarrhea is contaminated food. If you eat out at a restaurant you could be risking getting sick. Peoples guide says, "No matter how fancy the restaurant or delicious the aroma, if the cook's hands, knives, or dishes are dirty, the food will not be clean." This is important to note when you go out to eat.
Preparing for your Trip
To reduce your chances of getting travelers diarrhea, not all the work has to be done on your vacation; there are steps to prepare you before you get headed on your way. These steps include visiting your doctor and see if he or she can offer you a prescription for an emergency medication that you can use at your designation in case you get sick.
In Case you get Sick...
So what if the worst case scenario happens and you get travelers diarrhea? Importantly, drink lots of purified water or other re-hydrating beverages and keep yourself hydrated.
And of course rest, rest, rest. Avoid sun and seek medical help if necessary. It might put a damper on your vacation to have to stay inside, avoid sun and site seeing, but in the long run, the more you focus on recovery, the faster you can get back to enjoying your vacation.

What hardware or programs should we use to work remotely?
by parenting_education - 9/20/12 6:09 PM
Help. I work for a small non-profit. We have three desktop computers, each with its own set of files. Lately, one person has been working remotely and needs to access the files from all three computers easily, to work on the files simultaneously with those in the office, and to save her updates back onto the office computers. We currently use Carbonite, but we can't save the files back onto the computer or work on the same file simultaneously. I considered drop box, but at any given time, we may need to access any of the files from any of the three computers.
Any suggestions for what software or hardware will help us?

Support the Museum by becoming a member today!
The most renowned portion of the Museum's photographic holdings is the collection of more than 310 "cased images;" photographs of Confederate soldiers and Southern civilians, white and black. Often mistakenly called by the generic name "daguerreotypes," cased images can denote daguerreotypes, ambrotypes or tintypes; they in common being kept in velvet-lined protective cases. The collection features portraits of Confederate civilian leaders such as President Jefferson Davis and military leaders, including rare prewar portraits of Gen. Ambrose P. Hill, Patrick R. Cleburne, and J.E.B. Stuart and the postmortem portrait of Gen. Turner Ashby. More than a third of the cased images are of Confederate soldiers, representing the largest known assemblage of identified uniformed Confederate soldier images in existence. The images donated to the Museum by the family of President Jefferson Davis include Davis's children and several of the family's free black servants. Perhaps the most poignant images are those of women and children. many of them unknown, that were found among the effects of dead soldiers.
In contrast, the Museum also has 2,500 cartes-de-visite (CDVs) or visiting cards. Mass produced and inexpensive, CDVs were easily obtained collectibles in wartime America. The favorite subjects were famous politicians, generals, and international celebrities. Several CDV albums that Confederate "first lady" Varina Howell Davis donated to the Museum contain 350 images of her famous American contemporaries and European royalty. CDVs copied from the handful of original (from life) images taken of Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson were among the most popular in the wartime and postwar South and among the most common in the Museum's collection.
A number of images in the collection are postwar landscapes, cityscapes, and buildings significant to Confederate and Civil War history. These dramatic photographs range from panoramas of the Tennessee River viewed from Lookout Mountain to images of the empty village lanes of Appomattox and the burned district of Richmond. Although known for its wartime images, the Museum has an unparalleled collection of photographs documenting the postwar Confederate memorial period. These include individual and group portraits of Confederate veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, as well as monuments and monument dedications throughout the South.

Pfeiffer inks endorsement deal with American company New Balance
August 15, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. The Pfeiffer University Athletic Department is proud to announce a three-year sponsorship deal with New Balance as its official apparel provider. New Balance is the only athletic apparel company that manufactures its shoes and apparel in the United States.
Athletic Director/VP for Athletics Bob Reasso 73 worked with the Boston-based company at Husson University in Bangor, Me., where he served as athletic director from 2010-2013.
We are proud to partner with a great organization such as New Balance, said Reasso. I love working with them because they deliver high-quality products and their excellent representative, Lamont Morgan, provides top-notch customer service. It means a great deal to the entire University to align ourselves with an American, family-owned corporation that still manufactures sneakers in the United States. Its hard to find a better company to partner with.
New Balances Lamont Morgan, a former Georgetown basketball standout, is equally enthusiastic about New Balances relationship with Pfeiffer.
I am thankful for the opportunity to partner with a university that has a rich history of academic and athletic excellence, Morgan said. These two parties are committed to fostering an environment in which student-athletes can thrive and focus on excellence on the field or court. New Balances first-class service and quality products will certainly support Pfeiffers pursuit and achievement of athletic success.
As an institution, Pfeiffer is proud to work with vendors that bring outstanding value to the day-to-day experience of our students and staff, said Michael C. Miller, Pfeiffer Universitys president. New Balances presence, quality and commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing are sure to resonate with the entire Pfeiffer community.
New Balance, founded in 1906 by William J. Riley, has offered excellent footwear for more than 100 years and quality team sports products and service for over a decade. The corporation, which manufactures seven million pairs of shoes every year, owns five factories in the U.S., two in Boston and three in Maine, employing 1,300 skilled American workers. New Balance purchases materials from a number of domestic suppliers, which employ more than 7,000 workers. New Balance also owns sportswear manufacturer Warrior Sports and athletic equipment manufacturer Brine Corp., which also will outfit the Falcons. The company has recently begun endorsing Major League Baseball players and has signed Yadier Molina of the Cardinals, Josh Beckett of the Dodgers and Curtis Granderson of the Yankees to endorsement deals.

Dissecting the 3A girls tournament: Glacier Peak, Everett punch tickets to championship
That's the only bad thing to covering multiple games in one day. I'm so busy getting stories out and getting ready for the next game, that I don't have as much time to just sit back, relax and enjoy the game I'm watching.
Plus, I was stuck in a war with the Wi-Fi at Lynnwood High School to let me on Twitter. (I didn't win.)
But now that I'm back home and my stories are in, I'm thinking back about what I saw earlier, and breaking it down and discussing how wrong our Herald predictions were for your viewing pleasure.
And they were wrooooooooooooooooong.
The first game was a 34-32 thriller between Glacier Peak and Ferndale, which was probably the closest and most exciting game I've seen all season. The Grizzlies had to steal the ball away from the Golden Eagles, the No. 7 team in the most recent Associated Press poll, in the final five seconds to secure the win, and clinch a berth in the district championship.
"We knew the score was probably going to be in the 30's," said Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hill. "…Their team played so hard. Districts are fun because of the atmosphere and the competition. It's so fun. It's sad to see a team lose a game like that."
The Grizzlies only outscored Ferndale in one quarter, but when they did they outscored them big, with a 14-3 advantage in the second quarter. Aside from that, the game was incredibly even, as the Golden Eagles chipped away at the lead the rest of the way.
"Points were at a premium. Points were like gold in a game like this," Hill said.
Not only did the win secure a spot in the district tournament for the Wesco 3A South champions, it also guaranteed the Grizzlies a spot at regionals. And where are the district Nos. 1 and 2 seeds (i.e. the two teams playing in the district championship) playing in regionals?
Glacier Peak High School.
"That's kind of nice," Hill said with a smile after quickly bringing that fact up.
While it's not yet known who Glacier Peak will be playing in the de facto regional home game, we soon learned who it would face in the district championship.
It was going to be a team from the North (#theNorthisrising … IT'S ALIVE!!!!!). Either Stanwood, the No. 8 team in the AP poll, or Everett. This game was close throughout as well, until one team pulled away in the final four minutes.
The Seagulls.
Thanks to 25 points from Sidney Rielly and a defense that held Stanwood scoreless for over four minutes in the final quarter, Everett will be going to regionals once again for the first time since 1996, when it was at the Seattle Center Arena.
"They're a good team," said Dennis Kloke, the Spartans' head coach. "They're well-balanced and they're very athletic."
In the preview I billed the 3A girls tournament as the deepest of the local postseason tournaments and it hasn't disappointed. The two teams ranked in the 3A AP poll have fallen. On top of that, Shorecrest needed two overtime periods to take care of Marysville Pilchuck Friday night.
So, naturally our brackets with our predictions for the 3A tournament are rough. Let's start with Herald Writer Aaron Lommers. He had Everett playing Stanwood … in the 3rd place game. He also had Stanwood winning, which doesn't matter, but it just shows how wrong he was. So does this: he picked Meadowdale, which lost its first-round game to the Spartans, as the district champions.
I can't fault Lommers for any of this. Meadowdale was on a roll going into the tournament, which would have had it knocking off these two teams. And the Mavericks were a No. 4 seed.
See what I mean? The teams in this tournament are incredible.
I picked Stanwood as district champs over Glacier Peak (at least I got one team in the title game right). Meadowdale was my third seed out of the district tournament. The Mavericks lost to Shorewood Friday night, ending the Mavericks season and making my 3A bracket essentially useless.
(It should be pointed out that my dark horse team in that preview was: the Seagulls. Boss if you read this, I should get a raise for that one!)
Now Prep Editor Aaron Swaney (hey did you see that dark horse pick?). The brilliant Aaron Swaney is the only one of the three of us who still has his predicted district champion alive. He prognosticated the Seagulls would win the district championship. He said it would be against Ferndale, but whatever.
He also picked Meadowdale to finish third.
So while our predictions, at least for 3A, may be less than perfect, the important thing is there is some darn good basketball going on right now. This is the best part of the season, and you truly never know what's going to happen. Glacier Peak could be district champs. So could Everett. Stanwood could work its way back through the consolation bracket and win a state championship. So could Shorewood. So could Ferndale. So could…you get the point.
And we at The Herald will probably continue to guess incorrectly the entire way.

Learn more about applying.
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) is a UK organisation responsible for managing applications to university and college.
UK, EU and international students applying for most undergraduate degree courses in the UK will need to apply through UCAS.
You submit an application via the UCAS website with a list of up to five courses. All choices are confidential during the application process so universities and colleges considering an application cannot see your other choices. Applications must be completed by mid-January of the year that you wish to start university.
You can monitor the progress of your application using the UCAS Apply system.
Key Information Sets (KIS) are comparable sets of information about full- or part-time undergraduate courses and are designed to meet the information needs of prospective students.
All KIS information has been published on the Unistats website and can also be accessed via the small advert, or 'widget', below. On the Unistats website you are able to compare all the KIS data for each course with data for other courses.
The development of Key Information Sets (KIS) formed part of HEFCE's work to enhance the information that is available about higher education. They give you access to reliable and comparable information in order to help you make informed decisions about what and where to study.
The KIS contains information which prospective students have identified as useful, such as student satisfaction, graduate outcomes, learning and teaching activities, assessment methods, tuition fees and student finance, accommodation and professional accreditation.
As a Birmingham student you are part of an academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts. From the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner. We want you to be challenged and will encourage you to think for yourself.
Teaching and learning in the Department of Political Science and International Studies (POLSIS) is based around three principles: student-centred, responding to individual needs, developing transferable skills and encouraging preparation for future careers; research-led, ensuring students are taught by experts in their field and prioritising 'learning by doing' to foster critical thinking and active enquiry; committed to social justice, concerned with issues of equality, inclusion, responsibility and reflexive awareness, and committed to an ideal of democratic decision-making – consulting all students about their learning experience.
Your learning will take place in a range of different settings, from scheduled teaching in lectures and small group tutorials, to self-study and peer group learning (for example preparing and delivering presentations with your classmates).
To begin with you may find this way of working challenging, but rest assured that we'll enable you to make this transition. You will have access to a comprehensive support system that will assist and encourage you, including personal tutors and welfare tutors who can help with both academic and welfare issues, and a formal transition review during your first year to check on your progress and offer you help for any particular areas where you need support.
More about student experience at POLSIS.
From the outset, you will be assigned your own Personal Tutor who will get to know you as you progress through your studies, providing academic and welfare advice, encouraging you and offering assistance in any areas you may feel you need extra support to make the most of your potential and your time here at Birmingham.
As well as time with your lecturers and personal tutor, academic and professional services staff (like our dedicated Careers Network team) will be avialable to offer individual and group support throughout your time here at Birmingham.
This degree is taught by our internationally renowned Department of Political Science and International Studies (POLSIS) which is located in Muirhead Tower on own main Edgbaston campus.
Departments from across the School of Government and Society are all based within the recently refurbished Muirhead Tower. Following a £50million refurbishment, Muirhead Tower offers state-of-the-art teaching and research study facilities including free wifi throughout the building and dedicated study areas for postgraduate research students.
Muirhead Tower comprises 12,000sq.m of floor space between two towers. The tower includes a number of sustainable features including solar shading (known in the trade as brise soliel) to control temperatures, as well as low energy fans; timed lighting to reduce energy waste; natural ventilation systems and a heat source taken from the University's combined heat and power generator.
The space has been designed to create modern, attractive spaces for teaching and research accommodating 150 academic offices, 230 "hubs" for post graduate research students, teaching rooms for up to 100 people and a 200 seat lecture theatre.
Your lectures and teaching will take place in a variety of versatile lecture theatres and breakout rooms which have moved on a lot since the traditional whiteboard and pen. Our rooms are all equipped with wireless connection and constantly updated technology including all the audio-visual equipment that you would expect from one of the UK's premier insitutions.
Small-group tutorials/personal tutorials run alongside our lectures, addressing any individual problems you may have and allowing you to consolidate lecture material, as well as test your understanding through problem-solving exercises.
Self study is an essential part of the programme and requires self motivation and enthusiasm for your subject. It also allows you to pursue your own lines of enquiry and become an independent thinker.
Studying at degree-level is likely to be very different from your previous experience of learning and teaching. You will be expected to think, discuss and engage critically with the subject and find things out for yourself. We will enable you to make this transition to a new style of learning, and the way that you are assessed during your studies will help you develop the essential skills you need to make a success of your time at Birmingham.
You'll be assessed in a variety of ways, and these may be different with each module that you take. You will be assessed through coursework which may take the form of essays, group and individual presentations, laboratory-based work (depending on your chosen degree) and formal exams.
During your first year you will undergo a formal 'transition' review to see how you are getting on and if there are particular areas where you need support. This is in addition to the personal tutor who is based in your school or department and can help with any academic issues you encounter.
At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that particular programme of study. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within four weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done. You'll be given feedback on any exams that you take; if you should fail an exam we will ensure that particularly detailed feedback is made available to enable you to learn for the future.
Employers are well aware of the value of our politics degrees. Our students have little difficulty in finding interesting jobs in a variety of fields; some in local government and the Civil Service, others in commerce, finance and the law. There are also opportunities in specialist journalism and the media.
In the Department of Political Science and International Studies (POLSIS), we see employability as a broad-based set of individual strengths that students can build on and enhance during their time at the University of Birmingham. We recognise the talents and skills that you already have when you begin your programme of study, and seek to empower and enable you to identify and enhance your strengths.
Our understanding of employability underpins our principles of learning and we design our modules and programmes in consultation with the University's dedicated Careers Network team to ensure maximum relevance to the working world.
Preparation for your career should be one of the first things you think about as you start university. Whether you have a clear idea of where your future aspirations lie or want to consider the broad range of opportunities available once you have a Birmingham degree, our Careers Network service can help you achieve your goal.
Our unique careers guidance service is tailored to your academic subject area, offering a specialised team (in each of the five academic colleges) who can give you expert advice.
Our team source exclusive work experience opportunities to help you stand out amongst the competition, with mentoring, global internships and placements available to you. Once you have a career in your sights, one-to-one support with CV's and job applications will help give you the edge.
If you make the most of the wide range of services you will be able to develop your career from the moment you arrive.

Rickets is disease resulting from a vitamin D , calcium, or phosphate shortage in children. It causes bones to soften and weaken.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Rickets results when there is a vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorous shortage in a child's body. This may occur when:
- The supply of vitamin D from diet or sun exposure is too low.
- The way the body processes vitamin D is not typical.
- Tissue does not respond to the action of vitamin D.
- There is not enough calcium or phosphorous in the diet or it cannot be absorbed
- Kidney disease is present.
Vitamin D controls how calcium is absorbed in the body. It also controls levels of calcium and phosphate in bone. Vitamin D is absorbed in the intestines from food. Vitamin D is also produced by the skin during exposure to sunlight.
Most often, rickets is caused by a shortage of vitamin D. This can result from:
Not enough vitamin D in the diet. In children, this may be related to:
- Not drinking enough vitamin D-fortified milk
- Not giving enough vitamin D supplements to children being breastfed or to children who are lactose intolerant
- Lack of exposure to sunlight
Less often, rickets can be caused by other disorders that affect vitamin D absorption or calcium metabolism such as:
Kidney problems:
- A hereditary disorder of the kidney called vitamin D-resistant rickets
- Renal tubular acidosis—a non-hereditary kidney disorder that causes bone calcium to dissolve
- Chronic kidney failure
- Long-term kidney dialysis
- Diseases of the small intestines with malabsorption
- Disorders of the liver or pancreas disease
- Cancer
Certain drugs, such as:
- Certain seizure medications, such as phenytoin or phenobarbital
- Acetazolamide
- Ammonium chloride
- Disodium etidronate
- Fluoride treatment
Toxicity or poisoning from:
- Cadmium
- Lead
- Aluminum
- Outdated tetracycline
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your child's chances of getting rickets include:
- Lack of sun exposure
Age: 6 to 24 months
- Babies who are breastfed—breast milk is low in vitamin D
- Babies who do not drink enough formula that is fortified with vitamin D
- Children who do not drink enough vitamin D-fortified milk
- Lactose intolerance with low intake of vitamin D-fortified milk
- Family history of rickets
- Race: Black, especially in association with breastfeeding
- Certain chronic illnesses that result in loss of or poor absorption of calcium
Symptoms may include:
- Bone pain and tenderness
- Skeletal and/or skull deformities
- Bow legs or knock knees
- Deformity or curvature of the spine
- Pigeon chest—a chest that protrudes
- Impaired growth, resulting in short stature
- Bone fractures
- Dental deformities
- Delayed tooth formation
- Defects in teeth
- Increased cavities
- Loss of appetite or weight loss
- Difficulty sleeping
- Muscle weakness
- Delayed walking
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your child's bodily fluid and bone may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Bone biopsy
Pictures may be taken of structures inside your child's body. This can be done with an x-ray .
Treatment attempts to:
- Correct the underlying cause
- Relieve or reverse symptoms
Treating the Underlying Cause
Treatment of the underlying cause may include:
Adding the following to your child's diet:
- Vitamin D-fortified dairy products
- Foods high in vitamin D, such as fatty fish, egg yolk, and green vegetables
- Foods high in calcium
- Supplements of vitamin D, calcium, and other minerals
- Biologically active vitamin D
- Adequate, but not excessive, exposure to sunlight
- Avoiding medication that may be causing poor calcium absorption
- Treating underlying illnesses
Treating Symptoms
Treatment to relieve or correct symptoms may include:
- Wearing braces to reduce or prevent bony deformities
- In severe cases, surgery to correct bony deformities
To help prevent rickets, your child should:
- Drink vitamin D-fortified milk.
- Consume enough vitamin D , calcium, and other minerals. If you think your child's diet may be lacking, talk with the doctor about other sources of vitamins and minerals.
- Get sufficient, but not excessive, exposure to sunlight. Fifteen minutes a day is usually enough. Any longer than that requires sun protection with clothing or sunscreens, especially in fair-skinned infants and children. Children with dark skin are at increased risk for rickets and may need more sun exposure and dietary supplements with vitamin D.
- Breastfed babies and bottle-fed babies who do not get enough vitamin-D fortified formula may need to be given a supplement starting within the first few days of life. Children not getting at least 400 units of vitamin D from their diet may also need supplements. Talk to the doctor to make sure your child is meeting the nutritional requirements for vitamin D.

Emacs remains the "one true editor" (apart from Vim of course, which is the other "one true editor"). Many people prefer using editors rather than fighting with IDEs. Editors need support for specific languages, hence the need for a Groovy mode for Emacs. Emacs Plugin is an old page kept for historical purposes outlining that there have been multiple goes at creating a Groovy mode for Emacs – each with their good bits and bad bits. Current development effort (thanks to Jim Morris) focuses on evolving the Emacs mode based on the Java mode of CC Mode initially started by Russel Winder, coupled with the inferior mode by Stuart Clayman.
A release was made on 2010-11-13 (but there was a fault with the tarball that was corrected 2011-06-29, hence the date on the tarball), but it is recommended that people track the mainline rather than use releases.
The mainline is a Git repository held at the project's page on GitHub.
Getting and Installing Groovy Mode
Using the Current Release by Download
For those who want to download and install the current release tarball, one is available at Groovy Emacs Mode project page at Launchpad. There is a big green button which points to the current release download file. There is no link to the current release tarball from this page so as to avoid pointing people at an old or out of date release. The summary instructions for install are:
- Download the tarball from the Groovy Emacs Mode page on Launchpad.
- Extract the content of the downloaded tarball to your ~/.emacs.d file (for Linux, Unix and Mac OS X), whatever the equivalent is for Windows.
- Update your ~/.emacs.d/init.el or ~/.emacs file as needed to set up the appropriate autoload configuration. See "Setting Up Emacs" below.
- Restart Emacs if it is already running.
- Done.
Using a Git Repository
For developers, or the more adventurous users who want to work with continuous update, then take a branch of the mainline somewhere on your filestore:
- git clone git://github.com/russel/Emacs-Groovy-Mode.git Emacs-Groovy-Mode
This creates a Git repository in the subdirectory Groovy-Emacs-Mode of the current directory. You can update to the latest version by:
- cd Emacs-Groovy-Mode
- git pull
On systems other than Windows you can use symbolic links to put these files in the right place for Emacs to find them. So assuming that you put the Groovy mode branch in ~/groovy-emacs-mode and your emacs directory is ~/.emacs.d then:
- cd ~/.emacs.d
- ln -s ../Emacs-Groovy-Mode/*.el .
this should set up all the symbolic links needed.
(Someone needs to write what to do on Windows.)
Setting Up Emacs
Emacs needs to be told when to use Groovy mode. So in your initialization file (assumed default is ~/.emacs.d/init.el) you probably want to add:
or something equivalent.
Reporting Bugs, Requests for Improvement
Please use the The Groovy Emacs Mode bug tracker for reporting all bugs and requesting new features.
Nota Bene
This Groovy mode is developed and tested in the context of using Emacs 23. It should work with Emacs 22 but is untested. Likewise it should work with XEmacs but is untested.

By George on 12/28/2013 George would recommend this product to a friend BRS' standard gfo is amazing... but this... this takes it to another level. My square 60 gallon salt tank was fill to the bring of slimy green algae. My brother then took this stuff... put it into my two reactors i recently bought and within a week the green disappeared. After 2 months, the water has remained crystal clear. The best time to get this is during their sale which is what we did during their black friday sale. Can't go wrong. Double the power of the standard stuff no joke! GFO that makes a differemce By terminator on 12/2/2013 terminator would recommend this product to a friend I have used many different types of phosphate removal products and for cost, quanity and effectiveness you can't beat the high capacity version of this GFO. There are a few other products that are as effective but cost more and you get less of it. Why spend more? This is the only practical GFO to use, hands down Tank is looking better after only days By Geo on 11/20/2013 Geo would recommend this product to a friend Our LFS ran out of RowaPhos and it was going 3 weeks, I tried other gfos but they didn't do it, too much dust or they would just clump and not tumble, gave the high capacity a go and my tank is already looking better. I believe I will be sticking w this from here out. works great By jim on 11/18/2013 jim would recommend this product to a friend ez using, little dust.starts cleaning real fast. Great Product By MICHAELO on 9/30/2013 MICHAELO would recommend this product to a friend Very well constructed and easy to change canisters, mounting option is cool. Makes use of space and utilizes 2 separate elements for individual change, Bottom line is, it makes life much easier! If you have a need for these elements then you have a need for this item. Saves space in the sump By GainesvilleReefer on 8/8/2013 GainesvilleReefer would recommend this product to a friend By using this over the regular GFO I was able to mix with the ROX carbon and fit in one reactor. Great!!! By Garry on 8/1/2013 Garry would recommend this product to a friend Great Product!!! Really brings down Phosphate levels By Chris on 7/15/2013 Chris would recommend this product to a friend Before I bought my GFO reactor I had a terrible problem with nuisance algae, especially hair. A few of the CUC ate it but it was growing too fast for them to keep up with, even when reducing the lights to only about an hour a day. I'm amazed at the difference the BRS GFO made once I started running it. It has completely controllled the phosphate levels in my tank from on average 14ppm down to 0.0ppm and no nuisance algae. It's reduced it so much that I now how to supplement nori for the algae eaters so they don't starve! I'd recommend this for anyone who's serious about controlling their Phosphate levels. Excellent GFO By Joe on 5/25/2013 Joe would recommend this product to a friend Keeps my phosphate below 0.003 ppm or 0.032 microMolar, which is the limit of detection with the Hanna Ultra Low Range phosphorous detector (HI-736). Worked on my algea problem By lwillis22 on 5/14/2013 lwillis22 would recommend this product to a friend This was recommended for my algae problem and I was sick of trying different things and them not working. This is pricy but you get what you pay for, works great! Awesome By Jared on 5/12/2013 Jared would recommend this product to a friend Awesome product. Works great. Will continue to buy.

Robert Carsen's new production of Verdi's Falstaff, conducted by Music Director James Levine, opened to rave reviews on December 6. Check out these images from the performance.

text: The Spring Mountain District Merlot is a blend of Merlots from our Estate and from neighboring York Creek and Spring Mountain Vineyards. A majority of grapes for this wine come from young vines that are planted meter by meter and are head trained. This decreases the yield per vine and increases the competition between them resulting in more concentrated flavors.There is something special about Merlots from the top of Spring Mountain. Year in and year out they seem to possess structure and layers of fruit and spices not found in Merlots from the valley floor. We feel Spring Mountain is ideal for growing and producing exceptional Merlot. We have had many comments that the Spring Mountain Merlots are "Cabernet drinker's Merlots." The wine is typically aged for 18 months in small French oak barrels (50% new) and blended with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

2 Pack Solid Pullover Trainer Bra 3 3
comfortable but not sturdy These were purchased for a 9 year old so no support was needed, just for modesty under t shirts. She found them to be very comfortable with good coverage. I found them to be not very hardy. We have had them about 2 months and some of them are starting to unravel after about 5 trips through the wash. These were run through a regular wash cycle and hung to dry. December 4, 2013
Great First Bra I have a 9 year old daughter and we purchased the white/blue-pink set for her first bra. It is perfect! Very comfortable, straps look just like a cami. I would highly recommend for the "just starting to show" stage. August 30, 2013
Good First Bra I bought these for just working out and stuff because they were soft, but the overall coverage is just not enough. April 27, 2013

The Milyn Project is building Open-Source Java components for XML and non-XML Processing.
Smooks is a Java framework for managing and performing Fragment based XML Analysis and Transformation.
Smooks can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to XSLT for XML Transformation.
Smooks gives you more control when performing XML Transformations and Analysis by giving you the freedom to use the tools and programming languages most appropriate to the type of transformation in question (or your skillset).
- Mix and Match different tools and languages in the process of transforming a single message/document e.g. it may be easier to transform one part of the document using pure Java and another part using XSLT.
- Simplify your XSLT and/or StringTemplate Templates by combining the power of the Smooks Javabean and Templating Cartiridges. This allows you to get that tricky/ugly string data manipulation code out of your templates and into Java (Javabeans), where it can be manipulated more easily. The populated Javabeans are automatically made easily available to your XSLT or StringTemplate templates through OGNL (see Tutorials).
- Analyse/Read your XML and non-XML data without performing any data transformations by using the Smooks Javabean Cartiridge to create and populate named bean instances.
Sub Components
A component for performing browser recognition and browser profiling in a J2EE Servlet Container.
A component for parsing Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) data into a Document Object Model (DOM).
JBoss® has selected Smooks to be one of the "out-of-the-box" transformation solutions for their new JBossESB product. JBossESB is currently under development at JBoss Labs.
Thursday 1st June 2006
Posted Smooks Templating Cartridge. Extends the power of the Smooks JavaBean Cartridge by allowing bean populated StringTemplate based XML transformations. See Tutorial.
Thursday 11st February 2006
Posted initial findings of integrating the Smooks Servlet Filter into the Chiba XForms Engine, replacing the Chiba XSLT transformation with a Smooks transformation. Response-time benchmarkings show Smooks to be up to x15 faster than XSLT for this type of transformation. See Chiba Integration for more details.
Wednesday 21st December 2005
Posted a prototype version of the Smooks Report Generator. Speed up creation/testing of websites that work across a range of browser types an versions!

The New Bern wrestling team's lone state champion now knows where he will continue to perfect his craft.
Eric Milks, the state's 4-A 145-pound champion, will compete collegiately at UNC-Pembroke for coach O.T. Johnson's Braves.
Pembroke competes in the Peach Belt Conference in Division-II of the NCAA.
"It feels as good as I imagined it would," Milks said.
"I've been wrestling since middle school and I wanted a chance to do it in college. I'm expecting a harder level of competition and a lot more time to put in and step up in the practice room."
New Bern coach Bo Lansche and Milks' father Scott were on hand for the signing Wednesday at New Bern High.
"I was hoping he would get a shot at a bigger school, but this will do," Scott Milks said.
"I'm very proud of him, it seems like with traveling and all, that I've put in as many hours as he has."
Milks went 63-4 as a senior, with 41 victories coming by way of pinfall.
He is a three-time Mideastern Conference champion, and went 38-8 as a junior in 2011-12 at 132-pounds.
Milks won the Beach Brawl, Beast of the East, Swiss Bear, Bulldog Invitational and highly regarded Tiger Classic tournament this season.
Milks says he is aiming to wrestle at either 141 or 149 pounds in college.
"Eric has put in the work. He did it all year and has worked harder than anybody I've had since his junior year," Lansche said.
"Him winning the state this season and getting this scholarship to wrestle at Pembroke shows that his extra runs, and extra time on the mats has really paid off for him."
Lansche said he is happy to see Milks headed to Pembroke.
"They have had some success and they have a new coach in O.T. (Johnson) who seems really motivated and really looks out for his wrestlers," Lansche said.
"That's the whole reason I'm in coaching, to see kids like Eric improve and progress. I try my best to never lose contact with them."
Through all of the emotions of signing and challenges looming on the horizon, Milks says he is excited.
"I'm looking forward to all of the traveling as a college wrestler and making new friends," Milks said.
"It's great to come from a good high school team. All of our guys worked hard this year, I just went one step farther than they did."

Human Development and Family Studies - B.S.
|College of Education, Health and Human Services
|School of Lifespan Development and Educational Services
405 White Hall
Tel: 330-672-2294
Web: http://www.ehhs.kent.edu/ldes
|Students must declare a pre-major in human development and family studies until they have earned minimum 2.50 GPA in the requirements outlined below, with minimum 3.00 GPA in the three HDFS courses. The purpose of the pre-major in human development and family studies requirement is to ensure that majors have adequate preparation necessary to successfully complete upper-division human development and family studies courses, including a senior-level practicum (HDFS 44092), which provides students with professional training in the field of human/social services.
The Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies comprises six concentrations: Case Management for Individuals and Families, Child and Youth Development, Family Life Education, Gerontology, Gerontology and Nursing Home Administration and Human Services Technology.
The Case Management for Individuals and Families concentration provides training in needs assessment and the utilization of available public and private resources. Graduates are eligible for securing positions in a wide array of social service agencies.
The Child and Youth Development concentration prepares students for working with children and adolescents in non-school settings such as residential treatment, group care community youth services, foster care and after-school programs. Graduates are able to design and deliver developmentally appropriate programs, preparing children and youth for productive adulthood by emphasizing skills and competency development. The curriculum prepares students for provisional national certification as child and youth care professionals.
The Family Life Education concentration prepares graduates to develop and implement family life programs in a variety of education and human service settings. Graduates are eligible to apply to be Certified Family Life Educators (CFLE), a credential granted by the National Council on Family Relations.
The Gerontology concentration prepares graduates for professional positions in the diverse field of aging, including health and wellness, community-based social services, retirement communities, adult-care centers and nursing homes. The curriculum provides students with a solid understanding of typical age-related changes and how these changes affect a person physiologically, psychologically and socially.
A minor in gerontology is also offered. Through coursework, research experiences and practicum students develop expertise in gerontology while completing requirements in their selected major.
The Gerontology and Nursing Home Administration concentration qualifies students for employment as administrators in long-term care settings, including nursing homes, assisted living facilities and congregate living settings. Graduates are eligible to sit for the Nursing Homes Administrator's Licensure Examination offered by the Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators (BENHA). The curriculum in this program is BENHA-approved. According to the U.S. Census, 20 percent of the total population will be 65 or older by 2030. Because of the increasing number of older persons and the fact that people are generally living longer, there is a growing need for people to work in the field of aging.
Both the four-year concentration and minor provide strong interdisciplinary knowledge base, research skills and preparation for graduate study in a wide variety of disciplines, such as human development and family studies, sociology, public administration, nursing and exercise science. Students are eligible to join Kappa Omicron Nu, a national honorary in gerontology.
The Human Services Technology concentration is for associate degree holders and is offered at the Ashtabula and Salem campuses. This program prepares graduates for entry-level positions in a variety of human service agencies, including child and family welfare agencies, mental health centers, mental retardation and developmental disability facilities, and substance abuse treatment centers.
|The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics employment projections for 2006-2016 include a 73 percent increase in the number of jobs in individual and family services. Students graduating with a degree in HDFS are not eligible for social work licensure, but may find employment in social work type jobs.
Social workers held about 595,000 jobs in 2006. About five out of 10 jobs were in health care and social assistance industries and three out of 10 are employed by state and local government agencies, primarily in departments of health and human services. Although most social workers are employed in cities or suburbs, some work in rural areas. (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)
|Students admitted to the College of Education, Health, and Human Services as freshmen must have been fully admitted to the university. Admission to the college does not guarantee admission to a major and/or admission to professional coursework for a selective admission program. To be admitted directly into a teacher education program and Community Health, it is required that new freshmen have a 2.75 high school GPA and 16 units of college preparatory curriculum or a 21 ACT or 980 SAT score. Students who do not meet the GPA requirements of their intended major may enroll as pre-majors for selected programs or EHHS General until which time they have the required 2.75 GPA.
|Minimum 121 credit hours. Minimum 2.25 major GPA and 2.0 cumulative GPA.
|There are many study abroad/away opportunities, for more information contact the Office of International Affairs.
