Prep girls basketball: Mount Rainier 57, Jackson 39
Saturday, the Rams, the No. 1-ranked 4A team in the state in the Seattle Times poll, showed the Timberwolves they still have some work to do if they are going to compete for a state title this season.
The Rams used a dominant third quarter to beat Jackson 69-46 in a nonconference game at the Les Schwab invite.
"Literally they just were more physical and they knocked down shots," Jackson coach Jeannie Boyer said of the decisive third quarter. "They shot a great percentage from the field and they capitalized on the offensive glass. Obviously (Brittany) McPhee is a great rebounder, but their other kids did it too. They were able to out-muscle us under the basket and the rebounding disparity is definitely a key point to not being able to finish this ball game."
In total, the Rams out-rebounded the Timberwolves 53-30.
It also didn't hurt that the Rams have one of the better players in the state in McPhee. She scored 31 points and shot 11-for-19 from the field.
"She is so hard to guard because she is big enough that your fast guards can't guard her, but she is fast enough where your post players have a tough time," Boyer said. "She is incredibly physical. She leaps well. Obviously, she has a beautiful touch on the ball. She is an all-around great player. And she displayed every facet of her game tonight, from stepping out and hitting a three to knocking down free throws and definitely owning the glass."
Jackson guard Sierra Anderson was a bright spot offensively for the Timberwolves. She led the team with 18 points and shot 7-for-14 from the field. But it wasn't enough to keep Jackson in the game in the second half.
"Sierra has stepped up two games in a row now," Boyer said. "We have known that Sierra is this type of player and that she can have performances like this and I thought she did a really nice job today keeping her cool and be willing to play the defense she needed to out on Jordan McPhee, but then also be a team leader. She had some good moments out there today. It was really fun to be able to perform against a team like this."

JON CARDINELLI reports on the Highlanders' 19-17 win against a plucky Hurricanes side on Saturday.
The Highlanders dominated territory for much of this contest, and had plenty of opportunities to put this young Hurricanes side away. But because of unforced errors, as well as the hosts' determined defence, they were made to fight for this win right up until the final hooter.
The visitors shot to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter, converting their territorial dominance into points. A typically aggressive showing at the breakdown forced the Hurricanes to impede regularly, and one sustained period of attack yielded a try from close range for Highlanders flyhalf Colin Slade.
And yet, the Hurricanes managed to hit back with 14 unanswered points before the end of the first half. Flyhalf Beauden Barrett edged them closer with a couple of penalties before the pack turned in a more disciplined and controlled showing to wrest back the momentum.
The backline also got involved in the fight at the gainline, and it was a tackle-busting run by wing Julian Savea that set up a sensational team try. Having taken play into Highlanders' territory the hosts shifted the ball wide to Cory Jane, who showed why he is considered one of the world's best finishers with a sublime surge and score.
Barrett failed to convert the try, but nailed another penalty to ensure the Hurricanes went to the break with a slender lead. It marked an incredible comeback, and if only the Hurricanes had maintained their intensity and accuracy in the second stanza they may have forced an upset.
The Highlanders continued to dominate territory at the start of the second half, but their finishing left a lot to be desired. They were also disrupted by the Hurricanes at the breakdown, and wayward lineout feeds robbed them of a decent attacking platform.
In the 60th minute, Slade missed a simple penalty attempt that would have stretched the visitors' lead to four points, a handy advantage in such a tight contest. At the other end, Barrett held his nerve to sink a three pointer which edged his side ahead.
Finally the Highlanders got some reward for their field position. Reserve flyhalf Chris Noakes slotted a difficult penalty kick to regain the lead for the visitors, but with five minutes remaining, the game was far from over.
The Highlanders managed to withstand a final Hurricanes assault, and no doubt coach Jamie Joseph will be elated with the stat of four wins from as many games. However, he will be less than impressed with the missed scoring chances and dismal showing at the lineout.
The Hurricanes look to be a far more organised side than in previous years, although consistency is currently a problem. Their defence was impressive but they will regret their indiscipline at the breakdown as well as their inability to spend long periods in opposition territory.

Another victim of the student loan crisis, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) announced that it will suspend its student lending program. PHEAA, a federally-insured lender, has followed in the footsteps of the Michigan state loan program by pausing—indefinitely—its lending services.
On February 21, PHEAA hosted an emergency student loan funding summit to, "address a potentially devastating shortage of loan funds for students and families." At the summit, State Representative and Chairman of the PHEAA Board of Directors William F. Adolph stated that like many homeowners, "millions of college students may now face foreclosure on their plans for a higher education."
Days later, PHEAA announced that it had no choice but to pause its loan program. Loans to out-of-state students have already been suspended, and those to in-state students will be paused on March 7. Students who borrowed money prior to that date will not be affected.
The remaining Pennsylvania students will have to turn to banks to meet their student loan needs. Unlike lenders who participate in the federally-subsidized, price-regulated Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, private lenders have more leeway in setting their prices and creating stipulations.
Though Chief Executive Officer and PHEAA Interim President James Preston stated that students can receive comparable rates by borrowing from banks, somewhat higher rates and additional restrictions are to be expected. Aside from loan suspensions, numerous lenders have had to add new eligibility criteria and to reduce lending benefits to stay in business. Lenders that could not compete have closed their doors entirely.

After being sued by College Board, the makers of the SAT, Karen Dillard's College Prep LP, a student test-prep company, announced its intent to file a countersuit. Last week, College Board filed charges against the Texas-based company accusing it of illegally obtaining, circulating and selling their PSAT and SAT materials.
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, the company was said to have acquired the unreleased PSAT tests from a high school principal whose brother worked for Karen Dillard, the owner of the test-prep company After conducting a four-month investigation, College Board decided to take the case to court. In addition to filing charges, College Board threatened to cancel the scores of students who had access to official test material prior to the SAT test day.
Soon after the College Board lawsuit was filed, Karen Dillard, the owner of the test-prep company, filed a suit of her own. She claimed that College Board had unlawfully obtained private information from a previous, disgruntled employee and that such information could not be legally used against her. She also complained that College Board was trying to drive her company out of business.
In past years, College Board had sold previously used SAT exam material to private companies, and Ms. Dillard stated that she had paid for such material. College Board eventually stopped this practice and began to offer tutoring services. According to Ms. Dillard, the lawsuit was an attempt by the company to monopolize the tutoring market and to eliminate small companies such as her own.
Though Ms. Dillard did not deny having acquired some test material without College Board's authorization, she maintained that the information was obtained after tests had been taken.

As much as they would like to, not all students can afford to study abroad. Those with jobs at home or bills to take care of may consider travel a luxury, one they have neither the time nor the finances to afford.
If the Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act is passed by the Senate, students with financial problems may receive new federal assistance for travel. Until then, students can look to study-abroad scholarships for help. Regardless of their financial situations at home, students who receive financial aid may be able to overcome obstacles caused by fund shortages.
Check out the study-abroad scholarships below for some options that can help you travel at a margin of the cost. For additional information about college scholarships and grants, try conducting a free college scholarship search.
Study Abroad AIFS Scholarship
Each year, the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) awards more than $250,000 in scholarships to students who demonstrate academic achievement and submit exceptional scholarship essays. Six different scholarship options are available to students who study abroad during the school year or summer term.
Fulbright Scholarship
The Fulbright scholarship program is the largest U.S. international exchange program. During the 2006 year, nearly six thousand grants were awarded to U.S. students, teachers, professionals and scholars interested in studying or conducting research abroad.
The Gilman International Scholarship Program
The Gilman Program awards 820 scholarships of up to $5,000 to undergraduate students who are citizens of the U.S. The program was created to help students with financial difficulties afford travel abroad. Students with financial need, diverse backgrounds, disabilities, those who attend community college and those in under-represented fields (sciences and engineering) are given preference.
The RTKL Traveling Fellowship
The RTKL Traveling Fellowship was created to encourage travel for the purpose of a professional degree. One fellowship of $2,500 will be awarded each year to the student who submits the best itinerary as it relates to his or her educational goals.
ESAC Scholarship Program
The Europe Study Abroad Center awards scholarships for four-week trips to Prague. The trips are for college students and recent graduates interested in business, marketing and entrepreneurship. Students from any college, major and country are eligible to apply.

The idea that Ivy League schools are reserved for the rich and the richer may soon be a thing of the past. In fact, after unveiling its latest financial aid package, Stanford will become one of the most affordable schools in the country.
According to The Stanford Daily, undergraduate students whose parents make less than $60,000 will soon be spared the tuition, the room & board and other educational expenses. Those whose parents make less than $100,000 will have to pay for the living expenses, but tuition will still be taken care of. As far as the rest are concerned, tuition will soon increase.
The price for a year at Stanford will jump to $47,212 during the 2008-2009 school year—a ludicrous amount for the average family. Thankfully, the average family does not have to worry about it.
However, families whose liquid funds are much smaller than their paychecks and graduate students who do not reap the benefits of this news are less than thrilled. What seems like a large income on paper may not translate into spending money for a number of families affected by the tuition hike. Students whose parents have large mortgages or investments will have a difficult time setting aside money for the new cost of Stanford. The same is true for graduate students who don't receive federal Pell Grants to begin with.
Still, Stanford is keeping those who need aid the most in mind, and that's the bottom line. Okay, okay, there is more to that bottom line. In recent months, a number of distinguished schools have announced large increases in financial aid, and Stanford must worry about keeping up with the Joneses. After Duke, the University of Pennsylvania, Tufts, Haverford, Swarthmore and Harvard each stated their intent to make schools more accessible to all, others colleges and universities have been struggling to keep up.
Of course, most students aren't headed for the Ivy Leagues, and the above only constitute a small minority of all colleges and universities. For most students dealing with financial woes and fears of burdensome student loans, scholarships are still an option. By conducting a free college scholarship search at Scholarships.com, students can find the money they need to complete their education—regardless of the school they attend.

People tend to associate high school booster club organizations with raising money to support sports programs and other extracurricular activities at the high school level. Parents who belong to booster clubs are often seen selling refreshments at high school sports events, collecting donations for silent auctions, and selling tickets for fundraisers.
It is true that high school booster clubs exist for the purpose of boosting funding for student programs. Many clubs also earmark some of their fundraising efforts to fund scholarships for deserving student athletes, band members and participants in other school-sponsored activities.
t is true that high school booster clubs exist for the purpose of boosting funding for student programs. Many clubs also earmark some of their fundraising efforts to fund scholarships for deserving student athletes, band members and participants in other school-sponsored activities.
High school booster club scholarship programs are school-specific, so criteria and awards vary greatly from one organization to the other. When you are researching scholarships based on extracurricular activities, don't overlook the booster club at your school. Contact a booster club officer to find out details about scholarships offered, deadlines, and application procedures.

Despite investigations into shady business practices of study-abroad programs across the nation, Congress continues to support the idea of travel for college students. Last June, a bill to increase study-abroad funding was passed in the House, and a similar version was approved last week by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The initial version of the Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation bill was passed by the House in June, 2007 and introduced to the Senate by Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Norm Coleman (R-MN). If passed, it would allow Congress to appropriate $80 million each year towards a foundation awarding financial aid to study-abroad students.
The bill would encourage one million students to study abroad, especially in non-traditional settings. According to Senator Durbin, the travel will, "allow students the opportunity to grow and gain skills to help our nation compete in the globalized world."
Now that the bill has been approved by the Senate committee, it will move to the Senate floor for a full vote. Approval seems likely as positive feedback has been expressed by both parties.
The proposal is particularly aimed at assisting minority students with scholarships and grants. Senator Coleman stated that, "The goal of the Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act is to make study abroad in high-quality programs in diverse locations around the world the routine, rather than the exception, for American college students."
Over the past year, study abroad programs have received more publicity for their troubles than their benefits. Inquiries into the actions of program representatives who received free trips and money for meeting student traveler quotas have marred the image of numerous programs. If the appropriations are approved, increased financial accountability is likely.
Students interested in studying abroad need not wait until this bill clears both chambers. By completing a free college scholarship search, students can find information about numerous college scholarships and grants that can help them afford school. Both study-abroad scholarships and awards based on different criteria are available.

Each year, the Humane Education Network (H.E.N.) awards scholarships to high school students whose essays best promote the humane treatment of animals. H.E.N. hopes that by awarding "A Voice for Animals" scholarships, creating newsletters, contacting businesses and communicating with legislators, they can put a stop to animal cruelty.
Students interested in applying for this essay scholarship will have to write an original paper examining the mistreatment of one animal species. They will also need to propose methods for the prevention and control of such behavior. Four essayists demonstrating the greatest originality and analytical thought will be awarded scholarships ranging between $100 and $1,000.
1. $1,000 first prize 2. $500 second prize 3. $100 third prize 4. $750 prize for the greatest personal involvement or project directly impacting animal welfare
1. Applicants must be high school students. 2. Essays must be original. 3. All sources must be cited.
March 10, 2008
1. A completed online application form 2. A double-spaced essay no longer than 1,500 words
Further details about the application process and contacting the scholarship provider can be found by conducting a free college scholarship search. Once the search is completed, students eligible for the award will find it in their scholarship list.

Beginning in 2012, high school seniors attending schools in Allegany County, Maryland will have new graduation requirements--financial literacy classes. According to the Associated Press, these half-credit courses will teach students about maximizing earning potential, making the best of finances and maintaining good credit scores.
With college rates rising at rates that exceed inflation, students across the country are facing financial difficulties. The crises in mortgage and student loan industries have government officials scrambling to guard students against debt that could haunt them for years.
About two-thirds of undergraduate students borrow money for college and graduate with an average debt of $19,000. Student loans frequently outweigh a graduate's earning potential, and many find themselves struggling just to make ends meet. What initially seems like a worthwhile investment frequently becomes an overwhelming burden for a growing number of students.
To avoid debt, students should educate themselves about their financial aid options. High school students can take advantage of the free college scholarship and grant information available to them at Scholarships.com. When conducting a college search, students should also keep in mind their current financial standing. If they cannot realistically afford their school of choice, runners-up should be considered.
Like students of Allegany County, those attending other high schools may be able to avoid student loans by completing a free college scholarship search. Regardless of GPA, athletic achievement or community involvement, students can find awards they may be eligible to receive.
February 14, 2008
In a bold move reflective of the volatile loan market, Michigan announced its decision to temporarily suspend the state-run Michigan Alternative Student Loan (MI-Loan) program. Alternative loans, otherwise known as private student loans, are often used by students to supplement federal Pell Grants and government loans.
Those who are ineligible for government aid or who don't receive enough of it often look to alternative loans for additional funding assistance. According to the Associated Press, about 8,500 loans totaling $68 million were offered through the MI-Loan program last year. As of Friday evening, these loans will no longer be available to students.
In their notice, the Michigan Higher Education Student Loan Authority stated that "There is not sufficient available capital to continue making MI-Loans." With student lenders facing the effects of a major mortgage crisis as well as subsidy cuts from the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, the pressure is on to make a profit. Numerous student lenders have already announced their plans to cut loan benefits and tighten eligibility requirements. Some have even closed their doors completely.
Michigan students eligible for MI-Loans (students attending Michigan colleges or universities) can still look to other lenders for assistance. In fact, JPMorgan Chase & Company is even decreasing their loan rates and fees. Once funding becomes available-- if funding becomes available--MI-Loans will again be an option.
To diminish their reliance on loans, affected students can also apply for Michigan scholarships. By conducting a free college scholarship search at Scholarships.com, students from each state will have access to information about more than 2.7 million college scholarships and grants worth 19 billion.

Glenwood overturned a 25-14 deficit to beat Maritzburg College 31-30 in an exciting KZN derby on Saturday.
Maritzburg College were the favourites heading into this clash as they were regarded as the top KZN school this year and they had home ground advantage. Glenwood also weren't enjoying their best season as they had suffered four defeats from their 12 games, including a 9-8 upset against Northwood last month.
However, the Green Machine rallied to victory by outscoring the hosts 17 points to five in a convincing second half display.
In other results, Kearsney beat Michaelhouse 38-17 in the other major KZN derby while DHS thumped Hilton 29-10.

The Springboks have released Craig Burden, Frans Malherbe, Jacques Potgieter, Jano Vermaak and Lwazi Mvovo to their respective Currie Cup unions.
There will be no Rugby Championship action this weekend, so Bok head coach Heyneke Meyer has decided to let five of his fringe players get a run in the Currie Cup.
The struggling Blue Bulls will be boosted by the returns of scrumhalf Vermaak and flank Potgieter, while the Sharks have hooker Burden and wing Mvovo available. WP get back tighthead prop Malherbe.
Of those five players, only Mvovo got game time during the Boks' away fixtures against the Wallabies and All Blacks. He came off the bench in the 53rd minute against Australia in Perth.
Front-rower Pat Cilliers would've also been released to the Golden Lions, but he's been ruled out because of injury.
Meyer will announce a squad of 30 players for the Boks' final two Rugby Championship Tests on Saturday evening, after the Lions-Sharks clash in Johannesburg. The group will meet in Johannesburg on Sunday to start preparations for the fixtures against the Wallabies and All Blacks, which will be played in Pretoria (29 September) and Soweto (6 October) respectively.

Kyle Lovern
BELFRY, Ky. – Three people were killed in a 2-car accident around 10 a.m. on Thursday morning on U.S. 119 at Sharondale, Ky., which is located near Belfry.
The names of the three victims were identified by the Kentucky State Police (KSP) as 25 year old Teshia Henry of Prestonsburg, Ky., who was traveling North on U.S. 119 when she lost control of the 2005 Kia Optima she was operating. Henry's vehicle crossed the centerline and median of the freeway into the Southbound lanes of U.S. 119 striking a 2002 Toyota Tundra operated by Steven Douglas Viars II of West Virginia.
The truck had a sign on the door reading Saminco Electric Traction Drives of Lavalette, W.Va.
Henry and her passenger Howard Ravin 43 years old of Salyersville, Ky. were pronounced deceased at the scene by Pike County Deputy Coroner Mike Hall. A second passenger in Henry's vehicle, Bambi Davis 48 years old of Salyersville, Ky. was transported to South Williamson Appalachian Regional Hospital where she was pronounced deceased.
This accident remains under investigation by KSP. KSP Accident Reconstructionist Trooper Bryan Layne was at the accident to gather information for his report. Trooper Layne was assisted on scene by Troopers Jason McClellan, Hoyt Smith, Detective Jason Merlo and Detective Kevin Newsome.
The wreck occurred near the Oakwood Mobile Homes dealership. The weather was rainy and foggy and EMS workers said this could have played a part in the accident.
The Belfry Fire Department and Appalachian First Response ambulance service were also on the scene of the wreck.
According to an eye witness, the driver of the car was traveling north, lost control on the curve and crossed in front of the pickup truck. The car ended up in the ditch on the other side of the south bound lanes.
The driver of the truck was also taken to ARH, but his injuries were not life threatening, according to Bill Ball of Appalachian First Response.
The fire department swept debris from the road and put down a drying agent to soak up fluid that had spilled from the truck.
Traffic was backed up for over a mile in the north bound lanes. At one point, traffic was tied up in all four lanes of the highway.
Two minor accidents occurred due to the traffic congestion, as cars began to back up after the first accident.

Motorcycling in Cambodia: The Honda Dream
For Westerners who are unsure if they recklessly want to invest time and money in motorcycle safety classes and the purchase of a motorcycle, Cambodia is the perfect place to test your motorcycle wandering spirit.
Our tour began in Sihanoukville and took us on a 175-mile (281-kilometer) round-trip journey over scenic mountain passes, through coastal villages, and along winding jungle roads to the corner of southeast Cambodia near the Vietnam border. This fun, overnight experience only cost $23.
The Rental
I handed over my national identity and signed a form accepting responsibility for any potential theft, injury, or damage, and I was given the keys to the Honda Dream. The Dream has four speeds, a 125-cc engine, a front basket for luggage, and comfortably sits two.
The Law
Driving Guidelines & Advice
My best advice for people familiar to Western driving standards is to start your trip by erasing all preconceived notions and habits. Cambodian roads are not for people who fiddle with their cell phones, adjust the air conditioning vents, shuffle through CDs, and need to apply make-up at stoplights.
In Cambodia, common sense, defensive driving, and a healthy sense of adventure will safely guide you to your destination.
Speed limits do not have any relevance. What might be a dot in your mirror can instantly turn into a car just four feet off your back tire.
No stoplights or stop signs. Choose a path carefully, and stick to it. Everyone else will hopefully go around you.
Motorists generally drive on the right, the same as in the United States. When there is a dotted or solid line separating the lanes, disregard it just as everyone else does.
It is advisable to drive hugging the shoulder of the road. Large buses and semi trucks do not slow down, but they do warn with manic honking to get out of the way. When there is oncoming traffic, they will pass vehicles in their own lanes.
At first, the honking might scare you like gunshots from hunters firing rounds at deer across a valley. Recognize the sound as a friendly hello, and as soon as you hear the first honk, move quickly to the edge of the road.
Even though I recommend driving on the shoulder, there are exceptions. Always be aware of side roads and driveways that intersect the road on which you are traveling. Drivers will not stop or even look to see what vehicles are already on the road. Traffic will pull out right in front of you, so be ready to slam on your brakes, especially if you hear the honking of a semi truck directly behind you.
In most industrialized countries, motorists only need to be concerned with scared cats, lost dogs or suicidal squirrels. A worst-case scenario is you squash someone's pet and leave a note of apology. In Cambodia, the roads are a long, winding, petting zoo. A motorist must be prepared to swerve, slow to a crawl, or completely stop for goats, pigs, cows, water buffalo, and elephants.
Road Conditions
The roads are as unpredictable as the animals. Be prepared for leisurely paved roads, a scattering of large potholes on hard-packed dirt roads, and the front tire wandering along loose sand and gravel roads.
Motorcycle Maintenance
The motorcycle rental did not include the protective AAA guardian angel, but we found the Cambodian people in the countryside very helpful in providing mechanical services. At one point in our journey, the Honda Dream started to wobble violently. Amy and I pulled over to find the back tire completely flat.
I pushed the motorcycle over to a group of people standing by the roadside. None of them understood English, and I do not speak Khmer. With some pointing at the back tire, soon enough heads started to nod in understanding, and they motioned for me to walk down the road.
The Seaside Guesthouse
When looking for a guesthouse, one thing to keep in mind is that motorcycle theft is common in Cambodia. The motorcycle came with a lock and chain, but we appreciated the additional security of enclosed parking for motorcycles provided at the Seaside Guesthouse. For more options, look for unique hotels in Cambodia and other tours of the country.
The next day, we chose two tourist attractions that would give us plenty of time to visit and also get back to Sihanoukville before dark, a pepper farm and a local cave.
Upon returning the motorcycle, we paid the $4 rental fee and I retrieved my passport from an envelope containing an assortment of passports. It feels good to know that there are plenty of fellow travelers who will gladly give up their national identities for an adventure.
Having survived our motorcycle journey, my imagination feels caged with the thought of taking photos and watching kids' smiles through a bus window. My mind already feels numbed by the dull excitement provided by the movies shown on long bus trips.
Cambodia seen through a bus window is like fast forwarding through a movie to the love scenes or the climatic ending. The journey definitely is as important as the destination.
Our overnight scooter adventure for two people cost $23.00

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
"She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be an Obama Democrat."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Republican."
"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.
Linda is blonde, a Democrat and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a coincidence.

For 2015, there are 615 Ambassadors in 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam bringing the excitement of space to the public. Ambassadors are space enthusiasts from various walks of life who are interested in providing greater service and inspiration to the community at large.
The Solar System Ambassadors Program builds on and expands the outstanding efforts undertaken by the Galileo mission since 1997. Because of the success of the original Galileo Ambassadors program, JPL missions exploring Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Asteroids, Comets, Earth, the Sun and the Universe now come together to expand the program's scope to the Solar System and beyond.
To arrange for a Solar System Ambassador event in your community, click on the Meet the Ambassador link on the top navigation bar, select your state or territory and review the entries. Ambassadors furnish short biographical statements for the purpose of detailing their areas of interest and expertise. Following the biography is a list of past events conducted by the Ambassador to further aid in decision making. Inquiries about an Ambassador's availability should be made by sending an email directly to the individual.
Check the "Calendar of Events" section as well to see if an Ambassador event will be occurring in your local community. For a listing of Solar System Ambassadors by name, visit the Directory of Ambassadors.
Applications to become a Solar System Ambassador are accepted once a year during the month of September. Successful candidates begin their one-year, renewable term of service the following January 1. The Announcement of Opportunity and application form will be posted on this site on September 1.
The Solar System Ambassadors Program is sponsored by the JET PROPULSION LABORATORY in Pasadena, CA, an operating division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and a lead research and development center for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Can Fish Oil Help Prevent Psychosis?
By Courtney Reyers, NAMI Publications Manager
A 2010 groundbreaking study by Paul Amminger and his team in Vienna, Austria found that fish oil (omega-3 can help prevent psychosis in individuals with schizophrenia. Two years later, researchers and mental health professionals around the world are starting to replicate that study to see if we can help prevent mental illness before it starts.
Today, there is a multi-country study going on in Europe looking at the effects that omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish oil, among other things) have on the brain when it comes to psychosis. Additionally, in the U.S. and Canada, Dr. Barbara Cornblatt (founder of the Recognition and Prevention Program (RAP) and a recipient of the 2003 NAMI Research Award) is collaborating with several other investigators to determine whether omega-3 fatty acids could potentially prevent onset of psychosis and improve clinical symptoms and functional outcome in youth and young adults who are at elevated risk for schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.
What Can Omega-3s Do for the Brain?
Omega-3 fatty acids (essential fatty acids, or EFAs) are thought to aid brain functioning in three possible ways: the assimilation of EFAs into brain cell membranes, EFA-induced alteration of neurotransmission and EFA caused reduction of oxidative stress. In separate studies, low levels of all three of these have been implicated in cases of schizophrenia.
Ethyl-eicosaptaenoic acid (E-EPA) is one of the fatty acids found in omega-3 that has been researched. Findings show that E-EPA might provide an increase in the antioxidant glutathione, which correlates with a reduction of oxidative stress in the hippocampus and lessened negative symptoms. Treatment seems to prevent further psychotic development by preventing further hippocampal damage, reiterating the importance of early treatment and preemptive intervention if possible.
Technicalities aside, fish oil looks promising because it can help prevent psychosis from developing in people who are at risk to develop it, while it has no side effects (and even some health benefits) for people who aren't at risk. Essentially, it's a benign preventative measure.
"There are people—30 to 35 percent of at-risk people—who have a higher chance for developing psychosis," Dr. Cornblatt said. "We're looking for a treatment that we can give everyone at risk—a treatment that can prevent psychosis in that 30 percent without harming the 70 percent of at-risk people who won't go on to develop it. Fish oil seems to fit that bill."
Stopping Mental Illness Before It Starts
A paradigm shift in the mental health field has been brewing for years—one that focuses on treating mental illness before it starts. The current team working on the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) is focusing on treating symptoms, not full-blown illnesses and many doctors, like Cornblatt, have been working with kids, teens and young adults to try approaching mental illness with foresight, rather than hindsight.
"[Early in my career] at Columbia University, I worked with genetically at-risk offspring of parents (mostly mothers) who lived with schizophrenia," Cornblatt said. "We found several potential risk factors and I thought, 'well now is the time to apply this in a real-world setting.' I was fortunate in eventually moving to Zucker Hillside Hospital, where the potential of prevention in at-risk youngsters was immediately recognized, particularly because of the long history of research there focusing on patients in their initial episodes of psychosis. I received one of the first major grants in prodromal research in 2000, largely as a result of my prior experience researching risk factors in at-risk siblings and offspring."
Armed with decades of experience and like-minded colleagues (such as Dr. Patrick McGorry and Dr. Alison Yung, as well as John Kane, head of Zucker), Cornblatt has focused on catching mental illness early. The grant allowed her to found the RAP Program, where she works with youth and their parents. At-risk teens and young adults are selected for the program if they meet specific entry criteria, as determined by an in-depth interview and system of symptom ratings. Youngsters are eligible for the RAP program is they display one or more symptoms (out of five) considered to be of medium to severe intensity (but not yet psychotic). This corresponds to getting between a three to five on a six-point scale on any one or more of the five symptoms. A score of six is too high, meaning the person is already displaying psychotic symptoms; below three is too low, meaning a person falls within the range typical of the general population. The five symptoms the RAP Program uses to determine if a teen or young adult is a good candidate for psychosis prevention are:
"The RAP program has a slightly different approach than many other at-risk studies—rather than basing prevention on treatment using anti-psychotic medication, we've been focused on risk factors and how to improve them," Cornblatt said. "What we're doing is prevention. We don't really work with psychotic individuals, we work with people who have warning signs that suggest they could become psychotic. According to our criteria, the youngsters we work with display subtle, early forms of positive symptoms, but these are not yet considered psychotic because they are so mild.
Bottom line: If you can prevent early positive symptoms from increasing in intensity, you can prevent schizophrenia.
About the Study
In addition to Dr. Cornblatt's team, seven other centers are participating in the study: the University of California (San Diego), Yale University, Emory University, Harvard University, the University of North Carolina, the University of California (Los Angeles) and the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.
Eligible participants are treatment-seeking patients aged 12-30 who meet diagnostic criteria for a possible prodromal syndrome. The fish oil study is part of a larger multi-site project called the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study (NAPLS), which has been ongoing for several years. The Zucker Hillside Hospital RAP program is just starting to recruit subjects for the fish oil study, and subjects will also be enrolled in the larger NAPLS program. The researchers expect to enroll 130 participants across all eight sites in the fish oil (omega-3) trial. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either two pills a day of pharmaceutical-level fish oil (for a total daily dose of 740 mg eicosapentaenoic acid combined with 400 mg docosahexaenoic acid) or matched placebos for six months, after which the participants will be followed for a period of 18 months.
The hypothesis is that by the end of the study, the rate of conversion to psychosis (the primary outcome) among prodromal patients randomly assigned to receive omega-3 fatty acids will be significantly lower and symptoms, in general, will be improved when compared to youngsters assigned to receive placebo. Results of this trial are expected in about two years.

The epic tapestry of history may be composed of millions of threads, but there are always a select few upon which the entire weight of humanity ultimately comes to bear. As the thread of Chalce, the artificial soldier that Agate saved on his way to Cluster E.A, slowly begins to unravel, the mysteries surrounding Agate's own past begin to be revealed with staggering implications. Unfortunately, Agate himself may not survive the revelation!
As Vesuvia tortures Agate in an attempt to get him to unleash his powers and Chrome attempts a daring rescue, the discovery of Chalce's diary may change the course of destiny itself. Will the path woven by Chalce's past actions become crucial to understanding, and perhaps changing, the fate that has been planned for Agate, the artificial soldiers, and the entire human race?

Quick Release Buckles under straps
Great for couple of years of use. Not Water Proof but Water Resistant. We recommend you using some waterproofing cream.No need for any mounting hardware or support brackets. Just put under passenger seat over the rear fender and tie-down to the motorcycle frame using the attached leather tie-downs on each bag. You can easily choose how high or low you want to hang the bags by adjusting the center strap. These are designed not to flop around in the wind or get into the rear wheel and also to give adequate leg space for the passenger. Each bag is treated for water resistant (not water proof).
Comment: I bought these for my 2008 V-Star Custom and they fit perfect. I did however, chose to get the support brackets for extra safety.

Comment: I am really impressed how good these look on my Fatboy. Perfect fit. Worth much more than these cost.
Comment: Bought these for my 2001 Harley Sportster. You can't go wrong for the money. I was surprised at the quality. I took the conchos and ties off and they look better to me. Worth the money!
Comment: Bought these bags for my 1983 kawasaki kz250 and was a little worried about the quality and even it would fit. But I must say the bags were better than I could have hoped for for 40 bucks and had to do a little"tailoring" to get them to fit. But they look great and I have no complants
New Philadelphia, OH
Comment: These are so much nicer in person. They look great on my bike. I had to cut a small amount on the center strap to get to fix under the passenger seat, but you can't tell unless you know. They ride and look perfect! Highly recommend these bags.
Wauchula, FL
Comment: my 1980 sportster has the rear signals mounted right in the way, but i was able to mount the bags behind them. just took her for a ride and was able to bring home 2 fifths in them, so they passed the test.. fast shipping, but the saddlebags didn't have conches on them, so i got different ones from what i ordered. i like 'em though.

Hartville Ohio
Comment: The support strap across the fender would be better straight instead of forward for my 96 sporty and the same for my 98 Dyna. Other than that well worth the price and they do stay in place! A little bit of leather conditioner to soften them up and they will be good to go.
Edd Myers
Meadville, Pa
Comment: I use them for my 2003 Sportster....Great price for durable set of bags. I looped a cable lock through the bag and around the shock...Now I can lock anything inside the saddlebag.
Comment: Perfect for my 2008 boulevard. Love the easy open clips. The bags on my other bike need to be unbuckled and it's a hassle. I am very happy with these smaller bags that hold so much.

Comment: These fit my 08 dyna glide with very little hassle or adjustment needed.. They look great . Now lets see how long the quick release buckles hold up under real usage ..But for the $..Awesome deal ..
Comment: These are a great looking, economical, easy to install set of saddlebags. I simply hooked the ties off each saddlebag to the centerpost located under the seat, adjusted the height of the bags and that was it. They fit my 2007 Sportster Roadster perfectly. They are a great value for the money and I highly recommend them.
Bossier City, LA
Comment: I was desperately looking for something to fit my '78 Yamaha 750XS. I didn't have much room between the turn signals and rear pegs. These Saddle bags fit just perfectly. They are big enough and adjust enough to fit everything I carry. Great product, durable product, totally satisfied! Was just what I was looking for!

Comment: Bought for my 1986 Honda Shadow fit good and well satisfied with them....

Ballinger, Texas
Comment: At first I thought one of the decorative studs was missing from the saddlebag set. I later found it on the floor where I had unpacked the box. It was easily reinstalled, bringing my order happiness back up to 100%. Another great bunch of leather goods from Jafrum. High quality, well-made, thick, heavy leather bags. I immediately applied my own weather protective coating and installed the bags on my Sportster in less than half an hour. I then spent another couple of hours weather-sealing the backside(from inside the bags) of the pre-punched holes in the leather where attachment for each of the decorative studs passes through the slightly over-sized hole. If you order plain bags, this will not be an issue for you. I don't often give 100% on surveys, because I want the companies I deal with to continue to try harder. But about the only thing that Jafrum could do to make me happier would be to further reduce already low prices or simply send free merchandise :o). Thank you Jafrum!

Comment: I bought these bags for my 2011 -Yamaha 650, fit ok but still need to get the saddlebag bars to keep the bags off pipes. also need to remove the helmet lock to fit. Bags are very nice but, not for my bike. I sent back.
Flanders NJ

They keep shape , hang just right, plenty of room for passanger too..thanks for having a afordable great looking bag. My buddys thought i paid a couple hundred for them.

Comment: Received many compliments. Surprised at the quality considering the price. Rigid form will hold shape. Mounted on my 2004 Sportster by removing seat. Used hide-string, tie-downs provided to prevent flopping. Quick relase buckles a real bonus. Easy open, drop items in, quick to close. Hardware of poor quality, one buckel already rusting, but only time will tell if it and quck release plastic buckles will hold up for more than a season or two. Stud mounting holes were machine pre-punched and slightly oversized, so I sealed each from the inside with black latex calk covered with a small, black clothing button to prevent rain leakage. Bags are now much more water resistant. May order SD2011 Studs bags when these are done for. The hardware and decorative only streamer bag closures will match my Sissy Bar Bag SB5003.
Comment: Was not expecting much because of purchasing online and the price, but was very happy with the saddlebags. More than expected!
Mike Doughty

Comment: I bought these for my 1996 Yamaha Virago XV750. I ordered them Wednesday morning and they arrived Friday, so I can't say enough about Jafrum's free shipping (ordered a jacket as well). It was very quick for free shipping. The bags seem to be VERY well made for the price. They were extremely easy to install and secure to the frame on my bike. These fit the Viragos perfect, especially if you plan on having a passenger. These bags do not cover the passenger's pegs, yet are large enough to hold whatever you need them to. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for great bags for little money. You wil not be disappointed at all!
Comment: very good bags for the price, fit well on my 750 shadow and look good.................
D. tonderys

Comment: I purchased these bags for my 2007 Honda Shadow Aero 750. I was surprised at the product quality for the value! The fit is just a little snug but works perfectly. I will adjust by bringing it closer towards the driver seat. I am planning to waterproof them. Great product!

Comment: The quality of the leather was top-notch. For the price, I expected them to be a bit flimsier but these bags exceeded all expectations.
Atlanta, GA
Comment: I had a set of these bags on a 1984 Honda Shadow 700 and they look and work grate. I recently bout a other set of the same stile for my 1995 Shadow 1100 they also look grate on it. I use black kiwi boot polish on them this makes the leather softer with a little sheen no them. It also makes them water proof if you make it a once a week habit you will not have to worry a bout them in the rain. I have never had any thing get wet. I am very happy with these saddlebags and will most likely buy a other set. I will recommend them to ant one.
Harold Lawrence
Comment: i love my bags they fit just right on my 800 Suzuki . i can now put what i need in them instead of wearing a bookbag now i love my saddlebag and the price is just right.
Comment: Had to move the ties on the top to help it fit but did fit without moving the turn signals. Makes my new 1200 look wicked Awesome! Saved Hundreds at Jafrum instead of the Harley ones.
West Melbourne, FL
Comment: I ordered a set for my 02 honda vlx 600. They fit perfectly without having to relocate turn signals. Easy to install---no problems whatsoever. Liked them so well turned around and ordered same set for 95 honda vlx 600 that my son rides. Good product. Reasonable price. Will order from harrumph again. Good company.
Comment: Great saddlebags, likes great on my bike. Fit prefect and real sturdy. I would recommend these saddlebags to anyone. Thank you.
Brian Slaughter
Tooele, Utah.
Comment: The bags work and fit great on my 06 Sportster 883. Plenty of room between the taillights and the back foot pegs. The construction is very good as well. They are a little bulky under my Mustang aftermarket seat. Had to really wrench down the bolts to get the seat flush with the fender. I wish the lid flaps didn't flare out so much, they kind of look wingy if that is a word, but they will do. I have mixed feelings about the zip off feature. They are smaller than I had hoped, but will do fine for daily riding and picking up a few things. Would work for a long trip. All in all they are great bags.

A chart or graph is a type of information graphic, that represents tabular numeric data and/or functions. It may also refer to any kind of diagram.
Certain types of charts are more useful for presenting a given data set than others. For example, data that presents percentages in different groups (such as "satisfied, not satisfied, unsure") are often displayed in a pie chart, but are more easily understood when presented in a horizontal bar chart . On the other hand, data that represents numbers that change over a period of time (such as "annual revenue from 1990 to 2000") might be best shown as a line chart.
Typically a chart is graphical, containing very little text, since humans are generally able to infer meaning from pictures quicker than from text.
One of the more important uses of text in a graph is in the title. A graph's title usually appears above the main graphic and provides a succinct description of what the data in the graph refers to.
Dimensions in the data are often displayed on axes. If a horizontal and a vertical axis are used, they are usually referred to as the x-axis and y-axis respectively. Each axis will have a scale, denoted by periodic graduations and usually accompanied by numerical or categorical indications. Each axis will typically also have a label displayed outside or beside it, briefly describing the dimension represented. If the scale is numerical, the label will often be suffixed with the unit of that scale in parentheses. For example, "Distance travelled (m)" is a typical x-axis label.
Within the graph a grid of lines may appear to aid in the visual alignment of data. The grid can be enhanced by visually emphasising the lines at regular or significant graduations. The emphasised lines are then called major grid lines and the rest of the grid lines are minor grid lines.
The data of a chart can appear in all manner of formats, with or without individual labels. It may appear as dots or shapes, connected or unconnected, and in any combination of colors and patterns. Inferences or points of interest can be overlayed directly on the graph to further aid information extraction.
When the data appearing in a chart contains multiple variables, the chart may include a legend. A legend contains a list of the variables appearing in the chart and an example of their appearance. This information allows the data from each variable to be identified in the chart.
