Giving to the NEIU Foundation makes an immediate and significant impact on our students, and an even larger impact on our donors and friends. Through private giving, the Foundation is able to support more than 130 students with scholarships annually - scholarships that mean the difference between a student attaining their educational goal or continuing to struggle on their journey. This monumental goal can't be reached without donors and friends who want to impact student lives through giving.
Named as one of the Midwest's "Best Investment," along with MIT, Harvard and Stanford, Northeastern and the NEIU Foundation strive to effectively and affordably contribute to the education of our students, so they leave our University with a world-class education and minimal or no debt! We build millions of dollars in scholarships and other education-enhancing support that allows our students to achieve their educational goals, study abroad, present their research at national conferences, and work closely with reputable/established institutions on real-world projects and issues.
We prepare our students to "Learn in the City, and Lead in the World!"

The contribution of Cut-off Lows (CoLs) to precipitation and extreme rainfall frequency in South Africa has been quantified from 402 station records over the period 1979–2006. Firstly, 500 hPa CoL trajectories over Southern Africa and surrounding oceans were determined and their features thoroughly analyzed. In a second step, using daily precipitable water, outgoing long wave radiation data and station rainfall records, an area was defined where the occurrence of CoLs is associated with rainfall over South Africa. CoLs transiting in the 2.5°E–32.5°E/20°S–45°S are more likely to produce precipitation over the country. When 500 hPa CoLs are centered just off the west coast of the country (around 15°E/32.5°S) their impact is substantial in term of daily rainfall intensity and spatial coverage. CoL rainy days have been studied and it is shown that they significantly contribute to precipitation in South Africa, more strongly along the south and east coasts as well as inland, over the transition zone between the summer and winter rainfall domains where they contribute between 25 to more than 35 % of annual accumulation. At the country scale, CoL rainfall is more intense and widespread in spring than during other seasons. Over the analyzed period, a significant trend in annual CoLs' frequency shows an increase of about 25 %. This increase is mainly realized in spring and in a lesser extent in summer. This trend is accompanied by a significant increase in the frequency of CoL rainy days specifically along the south coast and over the East of the country during the spring–summer period. In parallel, it is shown that from late spring until summer CoLs' frequency varies significantly accordingly with large scale circulation modes of the Southern Hemisphere such as the Pacific South American pattern (PSA). This positive trend in CoLs' frequency may be related with the positive trend in the PSA during the spring–summer period over the three last decades.

Stuart McCall's team, who are in the quarter-finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup, are also in the running to claim a Champions League qualifying place in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
Second place is not beyond them but finishing third, given that Rangers may struggle to meet the SFA's deadline for European qualification, may be enough for the Fir Park side.
Shaun Hutchinson, the Motherwell defender, was reticent post-match about discussing the prospects of the Champions League. "We're not looking too much at second at the moment," he said. "If it was to happen, it would be unbelievable but at the moment finishing third is all we're going for."
The 21-year-old blamed a lack of concentration for the loss of the goal to Gary Hooper but added: "It's good for our confidence knowing we have matched Celtic from start to finish."
Motherwell have been strengthened by the addition of Henrik Ojamaa who sparkled intermittently on Saturday but was also cautioned for simulation.
"He doesn't give any centre half a second on the ball," said Hutchinson of the Estonian forward. "He's a very willing runner and will run the channels all day.
"It's building up as such a good season," said Hutchinson. He remembers last year's Scottish Cup final, when Motherwell lost 3-0 to Celtic at Hampden, as "probably the biggest day of my life."
There may be severe competition to that title in the months ahead.

PARRY SOUND – The warm weather has awoken the bears from their winter...
We can always tell when winter is coming on because of the preparations undertaken by Mama Bear and the year's orphaned cubs in early fall.
First of all, their food intake increases dramatically because their bodies will live off the stored body fat.
By doing this, they don't lose any muscle and can come out of their hibernation in the spring thinner but still quite strong.
Mama Bear is always the first to prepare her den. Staff provides the bears with boxes and plenty of straw so that they can shift it around as it suits them.
It takes a few days for each animal to get it just the way they want it, and we've seen in the past where several cubs will pile in together into one box.
Once it is arranged to their satisfaction, we won't see them again until spring.
Hibernation is an adaptation to the climate in which animals live.
They can escape the necessity of having to find food during the harsh winter, and they don't need to exert a lot of energy hunting and moving around.
Bears are actually not true hibernators, and can awaken quite suddenly if disturbed. Rather, they are in a deep sleep during winter, but have an active brain. Female bears even give birth and care for the cubs while denned up.
Other examples of hibernators include badgers, bats, chipmunks and groundhogs. Some of these wake up occasionally to eat some of their stored food, but soon return to sleep.
True hibernation occurs when an animal's body temperature drops very low so that it almost matches the temperature outside; its heartbeat and breathing slow down as well and as a result the stored fat lasts longer, because the animal's metabolic rate is much lower.
If there is a shortage of food in the fall, and it is unable to build up a fat deposit, the animal might not survive until spring.
An example of true hibernators is the groundhog.
They appear dead if disturbed. Its body temperature will drop to match that of the outside temperature and its heartbeat and breathing slow down too.
In this way they don't need much energy and are able to live off their body fat.
It is therefore vitally important for these animals to find sufficient food in the fall so that they can survive the winter.
When you think of it, the adaptations that nature has provided for wildlife in order to survive even the harshest winters are marvellous. Humans have to cover up from head to toe and heat our homes in order to survive, but everything that wildlife needs is already there in their environment.

Last week while on vacation in New England and Canada, I was inadvertently reminded how cold weather affects cameras and film, specifically instant film. While it wasn't actually winter-level cold (I think it only dropped into the 40s at night), the temperature difference was enough to ruin some film.
I was on a road trip, staying at a different place each night, and usually arriving pretty late. Rather than hauling all of my bags to the room at night, the bag containing the film stayed in the trunk of the car. The problem showed up when shooting instant film in the Polaroid the following day; the film simply didn't want to develop and the pictures were all light, faded, and, well, underdeveloped. Even though I timed them according to the air temperature, I didn't realize that the film had been affected by the cold nightime temperatures and needed longer to fully develop until I forgot that I was counting and several minutes passed. When I peeled apart the picture, I was certain it would be dark, though it turned out perfectly. That's when I realized what had happened and altered my developing time accordingly.
Even though it's only early October, I wanted to offer some suggestions for protecting your camera gear and film from the cold temperatures to come:
Batteries: Cold temperatures drain batteries, so don't leave them in a cold car. Even a cold day of shooting will drain batteries, so carry extras in your coat pockets or close to your body, if possible, to help shield them from the low temps (and, store dead batteries there, too). When recharging batteries, be sure to get a full charge. Those fancy DSLRs have a large power draw, so turning off unnecessary features and even turning off the camera when not in use will help conserve battery power, as well. When not in use, remove the battery altogether and keep in a moderately warm place.
Condensation: Just like with hot summer temps, cold weather brings this major annoyance to camera lenses everywhere. The problem not only affects lenses but sensitive camera electronic components, as well. When possible, allow the camera time to adjust to the temperature change slowly to minimize or prevent condensation from forming. Follow the same tips for preventing summer condensation. If condensation does form, remove the battery and allow the gear to dry out before using or taking back out into cold temps, as the condensation could freeze with disastrous results.
Wet Weather: Snow, sleet, and freezing rain can all damage camera gear. Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe away moisture as often as possible before it penetrates seals or has a chance to freeze.
I hope these help! If you have additional suggestions or tips for protecting gear from winter weather, please let us know in the comments.

It was only three years ago that Max Bloom and Daniel Blumberg were fresh-faced British lads in the much-hyped pop band Cajun Dance Party, but after that band released its debut album, "The Colourful Life," it more or less vanished. Why?
"I don't know whether it was abrupt as such," Bloom said of the breakup during a recent phone interview. "It just came to a point where we couldn't carry on because it wasn't the type of music I wanted to be making. I wasn't part of the creative process, and I did want to be."
Blumberg evidently wanted Bloom to be part of that process as well, and they began writing music together, and although Bloom did not want to continue in the style of what Cajun Dance Party had been doing, he wasn't thinking distinctly of an alternative.
"I didn't really have a plan," he said. "I just kind of started writing, doing stuff with trial and error and found out what worked. And this is what happened."
What happened was Yuck, a new band. After collaborating on some demos, with each contributing guitar and vocals, the two added Japanese bassist Mariko Doi and New Jersey drummer Jonny Rogoff, with Blumberg's little sister Ilana as a backing vocalist.
But the band would not have been filled out had Blumberg and Bloom not clicked.
"I found that I worked very well with Daniel," Bloom said. "It was easy to write songs very quickly, and we're very lucky because it can take a lifetime to find the right person to work with."
Following its initial singles, Yuck attracted a level of attention not that far beneath what Blumberg and Bloom had received as members of Cajun Dance Party, even though the bands had far different styles. Bloom had worked not to let the attention faze him the first time around, and he's kept that effort up on the second go-round.
"It's very easy to have it really affect you," Bloom said of the media attention. "I know it can ruin a band. I've seen it happen before."
It doesn't hurt that Yuck's particular style, as heard on a self-titled album released earlier this year, revisits the modern-rock renaissance of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when bands like Sonic Youth and the Cure were exploring caverns filled with fuzzed-out guitar noise and bittersweet reflections.
It's not a sound that is currently hip, and it has taken time to find fans.
"Slowly, more and more people were aware of it," Bloom said. "It's been more of a buildup, and it hasn't exactly been like we've been dropped into the deep end. We have time to find our feet and make mistakes, which can be quite valuable."
As Yuck makes a short foray into the United States, it also finds value in moving beyond the confines of the English music scene, which is almost necessarily more insular by way of geography.
"It's very narrow-minded," Bloom said of that scene. "Whereas in America there are so many levels. I really like that about the American attitude toward music. It's quite refreshing from my point of view."

I am for the extension of emergency unemployment benefits – not just rhetorically, but in the votes I cast and the bills I advocate to ensure critical assistance to those who are looking for work but cannot find it.
For many families, emergency unemployment assistance enables them to continue paying their bills and putting food on the family dinner table and keeps them in their home as they search for work.
Unemployment assistance is not a luxury; it is the difference between barely scraping by and falling off the financial cliff. If unemployed workers lose their car, or cannot afford gas, or their phone bill, chances of them finding a job and getting back to work decline significantly.
Of the 3.5 million unemployed Americans who have been looking for work for longer than 27 weeks, one in ten are veterans. It is especially disheartening to see the Republican-controlled House of Representatives continue to oppose legislation that would provide unemployment relief to our military heroes who have served and sacrificed for our State and Nation.
When long-term unemployment benefits expired last December for workers who had exhausted their 26 weeks of benefits provided by the State, 7,000 West Virginians were cut off from emergency assistance. Since then, hundreds of West Virginians have lost their unemployment benefits every week as their state-funded insurance benefits expire – leaving so many more workers without unemployment benefits they otherwise should be receiving.
The heartless and cruel opposition in the Congress to extending a helping hand to those out of work for long periods of time has motivated me to push even harder for action.
I have consistently voted to extend emergency unemployment assistance for those out of work longer than 27 weeks.
Prior to the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program expiring, I cosponsored legislation and urged the Congressional Republican Leadership to bring to the House Floor for a vote, legislation to extend the current long-term unemployment benefits program. Their refusal to extend the emergency unemployment program has been harmful to millions of workers and their families and counterproductive to the economic recovery.
Unemployment benefits have been used to fight economic downturns since the Great Depression – with workers quickly spending the benefits they receive, buying from local stores and injecting money into the economy. In the depths of the Great Recession, federal emergency unemployment benefits boosted employment by about 750,000 jobs nationwide, which added to the 1 million jobs generated by state-funded unemployment benefits.
Since 1948, Congress has never allowed extended unemployment benefits to expire with the unemployment rate so high. It didn't matter which political party controlled the Congress or the White House – extended unemployment benefits were always made available during long economic downturns because it's the decent and humane thing to do.
We sometimes forget that unemployment benefits are only available to those who lose their job through no fault of their own – workers looking for a job but unable to find one.
It is a solidly middle-class program. Nearly 70 percent of the families who received unemployment assistance have annual incomes right in the middle of our Nation's income distribution — around $50,000.
Most Americans, at one point or another, are caught between jobs – it happens to all of us in our life. Emergency unemployment assistance is not a program for people on the dole. It's for people who take pride in working and providing for their families.
The sooner we get this program renewed, the sooner we can extend a helping hand to those who need it and get our economy back on track.

The University of Otago expects to make ''potentially
substantial'' savings by reducing the frequency of
performance reviews of its departments.
The university council this week voted to reduce the
frequency with which it carries out departmental reviews from
once every five to seven years to once every 10 years.
Vice-chancellor Prof Harlene Hayne said while it was still
not known how much would be saved, it would be a
''potentially substantial'' amount.
At present, about 25 reviews were conducted a year, taking up
a large amount of staff resources.
A report tabled at the meeting said ''good departments'' did
not need to be reviewed every five to seven years.
Chancellor John Ward said it was important to note the change
in policy introduced an ability for extra reviews if there
were problems in a department.

Then what about the owners? they're the ones crying poor mouth after signing huge deals for players, and winning the last cba to get what they wanted. The talent of the players is what brings the fans to the game. Once again.. no one wants to watch owners counting their money. So basically.. the players needs to sacrifice more than the owners.. who have more money than the players? The amount of people sticking up for the millionaires and billionaires crying poor mouth is ludicrous. I'm not saying that players aren't without faults. But to blame the players for the league wanting teams in areas where hockey can not prosper is also ludicrous. But might as well just say agree to disagree since this whole argument is a circle jerk of futility.
just to be fair how much blame bettman deserves... its a bit more then you suggest. He doesnt actually need all 30 owners to approve with how hes dealing with this lockout or any other problem. he is able to act with only a handful of them supporting him if thats how it breaks down. Bettman does actually lead the charge here and in my suspicion doesnt actually have the majority of the teams backing him up on this particular decesion.
but the majority of the teams might have 10-15 ideas of their own how to deal with this problem and none of them might have any more support then he does himself. In the end, these 30 owners have to hire a commissioner to repersent them as a group. No one single person they hire could ever do what they want on every single issue. No commissioner will ever be perfect for all 30 owners. But it doesnt do any good to fight the commissioner ever single time he does something you dont like.
A commissioner has to be judged on their body of work. And Bettman has done very well for the majority of owners as a whole over the years. I am very confident that even if they dont want a lockout this year, they wont fire him anyhow because he has done very well for them over the body of his work.
Bettman to me... doesnt strike me as a stupid man. If he felt his job was in jeopordy, I cant imagine he would risk it over this lockout. Bettman wants to fix the 'mistakes' he made in the last lockout and save hockey in the small markets. He wants the middle markets to actually become profitable on a regular basis. He wants the health of the game to get stronger so that expansion will be possible.
He has saved the toronto market for expansion and fought the relocation of teams to keep other markets open for expansion too. I think its easy to speculate that Bettman does want to see more expansion during his reign.
To say Bettman doesnt care about the game... is just wrong. He has pushed for expansion and national tv deals to spread the game around. He championed the small canadien markets when we needed a champion. His entire agenda has been about protecting the smaller/weaker teams to protect the fans in those markets and to spread the game.
He has helped the union keep alot of jobs.
Bettman sucks at PR... in fact the entire NHL office sucks at PR. It is almost like they want to wear the black hats. I think they should hire better PR people but that all said... and giving him his props... i still cant call him just a puppet for the owners.
The owners dont vote as 1 single entity. They vote as 30 individuals with 30 agendas. Bettman doesnt need a majority of support in order to act. And I would say imho he probably doesnt have a majority of support today about how the lockout is going. He has enough support though so this is how its going to go down. He does wear the blame though for this lockout more then the owners do imho.
That said... I think he is in the right. So I dont blame him. I think the game will be healthier if he wins this battle. So I am going to have to support him and hope he wins. He deserves the blame if people want to blame someone... but to me he deserves the credit cause I am not blaming him.

Hi Bobby
One idea instead of the card would be to order cigars with Puff.com bands on them I did a few boxes myself. I think what you are doing is a great idea bro my first year Ron and I spent a ton of money out of our own pockets well over $10,000.
No disrespect but after you have been around a little longer and I see you supporting the efforts we have already going on I would be more than happy to donate a box here and there. It is a great way of saying welcome home! Very cool and please don't take my comments negative you have just got here and I need to get to know you better first but that's just me.
If your interested in the band idea pm me and I think I can find those who do this there are several companies now.
Welcome to Puff.

CHANDRALAMBHA TEMPLE In a remote village in Karnataka, we find legends of goddesses and kings at the Chandralambha Temple
It is one of those days when the journey becomes the destination, when the mountains and fields seem to follow you wherever you go, when the sunflowers nod at you, local women laugh shyly, and the sun gently peers at you from behind the clouds. There is a charm about rustic India that is simply inexplicable.
I am travelling from Yaadgiri, a small town in north Karnataka, towards Kanaganahalli, a nondescript village on the banks of the river Bheema. My destination is a small temple dedicated to Goddess Chandralamba, which is almost 800 years old. A couple of children look lost in the antiquity of the temple, while a few old men gather in the courtyard to share their stories. They tell me a fascinating tale of a goddess who came here all the way from North India to protect two devotees from an evil king.
Legend goes that Chandrala was captured by a local ruler while Narayan Muni, her rishi husband, was away. The rishi travelled to the Himalayas to entreat the goddess to help him defeat the king. The goddess agreed to follow him but asked him not to turn around and look at her during the journey. But as they neared River Bheema, Narayan Muni was unable to control his curiosity and turned around, only to see a stone idol. Thankfully, the goddess still kept her word and helped him defeat the king.
My interest in the small hamlet is, however, courtesy Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty, who left his mark here several centuries ago. The story, I am told, begins with the discovery of an edict belonging to the Ashokan era when the roof of the temple collapsed years ago. The inscription was apparently used as a pedestal for the idol.
The discovery eventually led to an excavation where the remains of an ancient Buddhist stupa were found. I walk quietly into the site, where I find the edict placed at the entrance. Written in Brahmi script in the Prakrit language, it speaks about religious tolerance. A group of school children walk around the many panels of sculptures carved in limestone. They are strewn around, broken but glistening in the afternoon sun. There are larger then life panels surrounding the main drum of the stupa. Dated between 3 BC and 3 AD, this Maha Stupa, as it was referred to, was probably built by Ashoka and then rebuilt by the Satavahana kings.
The site is a treasure trove of antiquities but the most priceless treasure belongs to Ashoka himself — a broken portrait of a king with his queens gently pieced together and lying a little away from the main stupa under the shelter of a tree. I am told this could be the very first inscribed panel of King Ashoka to be discovered in India, as it uses the phrase 'Raya Ashoka'.
I am joined by the school children as we look at the sculptures. We learn that the conservation of the stupa is in progress and pains have been taken to restore it as scientifically as possible. As we peer at the king and walk past the Buddha sculptures, I marvel at how a simple journey into rustic India can turn into a very historic one.

Travellers from and to any country of the European Union (EU) possessing cash of the value of €10,000 and more, have to make a declaration under a new regulation aimed at combating money laundering and terrorism financing. This preventive measure, besides a host of new criminal laws to counter illicit funnelling of the proceeds from drug-related offences and serious crime, has assumed a greater significance in the post-9/11 global scenario for free movement of capital and financial services, the bedrock of the EU's integrated single market. A 2005 directive defines money laundering as the conversion or transfer of property derived from criminal activity, its concealment to disguise its illicit origin, and assistance to those who seek to evade justice. While the 1991 directive focussed only on drug-related offences, it was later amended to include laundering of the proceeds of serious crime and fraud. Similarly, its coverage, originally limited to the financial sector, was expanded to cover a wide variety of non-financial activities and professions. Under the new regime, in place since June 15, the onus to declare rests with the traveller, regardless of whether he is the owner of the cash (currency notes, coins, and negotiable instruments), and the enforcement of penalties is left to be determined by individual states. The possession of sums below the €10,000-threshold-value attracts confiscation if there is indication of illegal links involving the movement of cash.
The obligation to declare currency was first mooted by the world's leading standard-setting body on money laundering — the 33-strong inter-governmental Financial Action Task Force (FATF), set up at the 1989 Paris summit of the Group of Seven countries. Although only 15 constituent states of the EU are members of the FATF, the European Commission, as an organisational member, is expected to implement the anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures across the entire EU. This role gains importance in view of the relatively high prevalence of fraud, corruption, and hard crime in many of the eastern European states. Accession to the EU has contributed to impressive gains in relation to the consolidation of democratic rule of law, transparency of economic and political institutions, good governance, and human rights in countries of southern Europe. There is every reason to believe that the relatively new EU member-states from eastern Europe are better placed to achieve similar progress in the years to come.

ST. TAMMANY, La. -- When Shane Gates was put on trial in July on a felony charge of unlawful flight, prosecutors painted a picture of suspect out of control.
A high-speed chase with speeds topping 100 miles an hour. A wild, drunk driver. A combative suspect who flailed and fought with deputies, suffering only a minor injury in the process.
'Week-long trial in this case, the jury comes back probably before they can sit down in the jury room and say, 'Can we all see how ridiculous this is?'' said James Williams, Gates' attorney.
Gates' lawyers got a speedy acquittal by presenting a very different picture. An expert witness said the chase actually lasted for only six-tenths of a mile and 80 seconds. The DWI allegations were contradicted by the fact that Gates was pulled over just minutes after leaving a car dealership finance office after buying a new Pontiac.
'The jury in St. Tammany Parish did not buy the DA's theory of his case when it was tried,' Williams said. 'They came back in almost record time as to a not guilty verdict.'
And the allegedly combative suspect? Gates, who weighs 145 pounds, was handcuffed and pepper-sprayed by two deputies, each weighing more than 200 pounds. After Gates was taken to the ground by Deputy Roger Gottardi, his so-called 'minor injuries' required two surgeries and 27 stitches, and he is awaiting another one to repair nerve damage to his face.
Meanwhile, the deputies didn't suffer a single scratch.
'The district attorney should not be prosecuting the victim,' Williams said. 'The district attorney should be prosecuting the perpetrators.'
Williams is representing Gates in a civil rights lawsuit in federal court. That lawsuit was filed in October 2007, 11 months after the fateful traffic stop. But that suit has been put on hold because the St. Tammany District Attorney's Office continues to prosecute Gates.
Gates' attorneys believe St. Tammany authorities are intentionally stalling justice. One of those attorneys is the retired chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court, Pascal Calogero.
'The defense for the state, at least the sheriff in St. Tammany Parish, is I think avoiding paying expenses for this boy's injuries,' Calogero said.
The delays go beyond the six years it took to bring Gates to trial on the felony flight. Now the district attorney's office is pressing a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest.
'I think it has all kinds of double jeopardy implications. As everyone knows, you can't be tried twice for the same crime in America,' Williams said.
The Fifth Amendment prohibits double jeopardy, and Eyewitness News legal analyst Donald 'Chick' Foret thinks that might be happening here.
'It seems to me that the evidence is going to be almost the same, if not the same,' Foret said.
One key element of the resisting arrest charge is a letter that appears to come from Nathan Miller, the former deputy who stopped Gates. But during sworn testimony Miller said he knew nothing about the letter.
'It's hard to imagine getting beaten beyond recognition while in handcuffs, and to incur this resisting arrest charge and these injuries while in handcuffs,' Williams said.
'There was no date. It wasn't mailed. It just magically appeared on Chuck Hughes' desk and he turned it over and they added charges against me,' Gates said.
Hughes is an attorney for the sheriff's office. But in a court hearing he also admitted that his law firm represents the insurance company that provides the sheriff's liability policy.
In a courtroom exchange, Hughes admits that a resisting arrest charge could protect against an insurance claim by Gates.
Nobody from the sheriff's office, including Hughes, returned our calls for comment. But to Gates and his lawyers, the reason for all the delays and additional charges is clear.
'Now we have justice delayed again,' Williams said. 'And justice delayed in what seems even more thin than the first trial. The first trial was thin enough.'
Calogero said, 'I think perpetuating this, keeping him out of trial for his damages under these circumstances is just not justified.'
Meanwhile, Gates has moved away from St. Tammany as he continues to wait for his day in court.
No date has been set for Gates' resisting arrest trial, but as a misdemeanor, the St. Tammany district attorney will be allowed to present the case to a judge rather than a jury.

The Scottish Basketball Association was founded in 1947. The name of the association changed from the original and was re-branded to basketballscotland in 2000.
basketballscotland is the governing body for basketball in Scotland. It serves the needs of its members - the basketball community of Scotland - from the head office at Caledonia House in Edinburgh and through a network of Regional Basketball Development Officers, based throughout the country.
The governing body has responsibility for leading, supporting and developing basketball at all levels in Scotland. basketballscotland is in charge of national and regional competitions, officiating, coaching and volunteering. The governing body not only focuses on club development and player development but manages all National Teams.
Scotland first competed in the European Championships in 1951. In recent years, the men's and women's senior and the Scottish U16 national teams have competed in European Championships Division C. Scotland's U18 men and women have participated in European Championships Division B since 2006.
Basketball in Scotland has experienced significant growth at the grass-roots level in recent years by providing children with more opportunities to participate and by driving down the age of entry to the game. These gains in the sport would not have been possible without the targeted work of the Regional Basketball Development Team in local areas throughout Scotland. Building on this success will require continued buy-in, energy and delivery from the multiple partners working towards the same objective. Fundamental to the progress made are clubs that work in partnership with the governing body, giving every player the opportunity to participate and develop to the level of their choice and ability.
At the other end of the scale, the developments that have taken place in the structures of British Basketball have provided the chance for Scotland's best players to compete at the highest level. Individually, Robert Archibald has been the only Scottish player to play at the NBA. The powerful center will be part of the GB Olympic team with another of the nation's most know player, Kieron Achara. The 2.08 m forward plays for Spanish side Manresa. The 24-year-old Rose Anderson, former Scotland U16 and U18 player will also represent Great Britain at the Olympics.
Beyond the excitement of the Olympics, basketballscotland will continue to nurture the prospective stars of the future through challenging competition outlets and structured development programmes, so that Scottish athletes continue progressing to the highest levels of the international game for years to come.

What "Dialectics"?
Dialectics are all too rare to be found in The Nation, with its frequent prognostications about catastrophic election cycles. This lack was all to evident in Susie Linfield's poorly executed essay on Fred Halliday. He is repeatedly described as possessing a "dialectical" mind, but she confidently quotes him as having claimed that communism's "failure was necessary, not contingent." That's fatalism. (Linfield herself refers to the "fatal flaws of communism"). Dialectical thinking emphasizes that human thought and activity are conditioned by their unique historical moment; it also, necessarily, emphasizes the shaping of history (including our centuries-old communist history) by human beings—especially by those self-organized against the class system.

Back Up lamp ball switch replacement
After troubleshooting why I had no back up lights, I found that the Chiltons manual was incorrect. The manual said that if the ball switch located on the right side of my 2003 Ram 2500 6 speed manual trans shows continuity across the two terminals then it is good. Wrong! My switch showed continuity, but when a load is added the voltage dropped to nothing. After much research on the web, I found a replacement much cheaper than the dealer or any of the parts houses. Dealer price down here is $86.00, parts house wants $43.39. A company in Portland Oregon named simply "ASE Supply co." has them under the part number of "PO-21-370-P" for $5.36 each!! They have a minimum order of $10.00, so I had to buy two, but still a lot cheaper than the stores or dealers are. Got mine today and installed it and works as advertised. The markings on it are exactly like the original one that came out!! Here is the address of the company, but I ordered mine online...
ASE Supply Co.
P.O. Box 30599
7710 NE 17th Ave

Michael Richard Johnson
- Assistant Teaching Professor, Mathematical Sciences
At WPI I have taught a variety of courses ranging from Calculus, Statistics, and Probability at the undergraduate and graduate level. With help from the ATC (Academic Technology Center) I use course capturing to record my lectures and keep an eye on advances in technology to aid student learning.
I completed my PhD in Economics at Clark University in October 2012. My dissertation explored theoretical models for free and open source software. Analysis of two-sided markets (programmers and users) and motives for code forking (a split in the programmer community) were highlighted in separate papers.
My MS Thesis at WPI used graph theory and probability to generate a most probable cyclic-free paths (an extension of Dijkstra's algorithm) to estimate probability of fire spread.

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the International Commission of Jurists on Thursday said that Nepali legislators should reject problematic provisions of the proposed Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) bill introduced in parliament on April 9 of this year.
Despite a January 2 directive from the Nepali Supreme Court that the law must meet international legal standards, the bill contains provisions for amnesty that violate international law.
In particular, the bill retains language from a 2012 executive ordinance that permitted amnesty for crimes under international law committed during Nepal's civil war.
A landmark Supreme Court ruling rejected the ordinance, and explicitly directed the government to introduce a new bill in compliance with Nepal's obligations under international law. Amnesty for gross human rights violations, such as those enumerated in the bill, is prohibited by international law.
"The Nepali government seems to have simply tabled a mildly reworked version of the 2012 ordinance despite the Supreme Court's landmark judgment on transitional justice," said Sam Zarifi, Asia-Pacific regional director at the International Commission of Jurists.
"This deliberately undermines the judiciary, and raises serious concerns over the government's respect for the rule of law in Nepal," said Zarifi.
On March 25, 2014, the Nepali government announced it would present draft laws to establish the TRC and a commission of inquiry into disappearances within 15 days. An expert task force established by the government proposed revised language, but this text was not incorporated into the draft.
The current bill enumerates the serious human rights violations that would fall within the jurisdiction of the commission. These include murder, abduction, rape and sexual violence, forced evictions, and mental and physical torture. However, section 26 contains vague language that does not completely reject amnesty, leaving open the possibility that perpetrators of these crimes might instead benefit from an amnesty.
Although section 26(2) contains a specific exception from amnesty for rape, the bill does not address the 35-day statute of limitation period on reporting rape under the Nepali criminal code, which precludes victims from accessing justice. The provision on amnesty is identical to section 23 of the 2012 ordinance, which had been explicitly rejected by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional and in breach of Nepal's international legal obligations.
"It is baffling why the Nepali government would propose a bill that contains exactly the same troubling provision allowing those responsible for the most heinous crimes to go scot free. The government's obligation is to ensure justice for the victims, not amnesty for the victimizers
," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
The Supreme Court ruled that any mechanism for transitional justice must conform to international standards, lead to accountability for serious human rights violations, and ensure victims their right to remedy and reparation, which includes the right to truth, justice, and guarantees of non-repetition.
"Nepali legislators should unequivocally reject the problematic provisions of the bill and amend it to be consistent with the Supreme Court's directive," said Richard Bennett, Asia director at Amnesty International.
The human rights organizations reiterated their calls to the Nepali government to implement the Supreme Court's ruling.

Health Actuarial – Health Plan Services
Business-based insight into the things you can't know yet.
Reform and other changes in the health care market are transforming the nature and distribution of risk. Analyzing, understanding and managing risk, requires industry-specific knowledge with the most up-to-date analytics capabilities.
For example, setting premium rates has never been simple. Doing so in the new exchange environment, without the information typically used to set premium rates, will likely be especially complex. A pricing error of 1% might represent 50% of your potential profits. Actuarial services may provide value in many areas beyond traditional rate-setting. Actuaries can analyze the potential impact of the ICD-10 coding change, or determine the assumptions you should make in designing a value-based care system. In addition, there is new data that actuaries are working with which allows them to examine how lifestyle-based analytics can help assess and engage potential customers in a retail environment.
Deloitte Consulting LLP's Health Actuarial Services team, one of the world's largest, uses technical and benchmarking tools similar to what you'll see elsewhere in the industry—but only as a starting point. We work with industry specialists from our Health Plan strategy, operations and technology practices to bring wide-ranging solutions to our clients. We focus on collaboration to build tailored, sophisticated models to facilitate your ability to answer the right questions and then develop a fact base that helps you make critical decisions supported by data. Health plans can take advantage of actuarial services in areas such as:
- Pricing and product development, including exchange pricing based on predicted medical costs
- Financial performance, such as analyzing provider contracts and effectiveness of medical management
- Financial valuations and transactions, such as estimations of insurance liabilities and valuation of companies or blocks of business
- Transforming data into information, making disparate data into meaningful intelligence which may be used throughout an organization
- Value-based care support, such as economic value analysis models, benchmarking and payment models
Our actuarial approach draws upon America's largest and most widely accepted claims database, actuarial tools and marketing based datasets. Analytics translates the data into tailored solutions unique to each plan and each situation, including pricing, reserve setting, ICD-10 coding impact, risk adjustment, medical management and lifestyle-based analytics, to name a few.
Our comprehensive actuarial services can provide actionable information, yielding more valuable results. The expected benefits can include improved margin, a more precise approach to medical loss ratios and improvement in your ability to avoid negative surprises.

Questions that Porterville College students often ask... and the answers.
A hold may be placed on your records for a variety of reasons such as for non- payment of fees, discipline holds, etc. Until the hold is cleared, you will not be able to register. Call the Admissions and Records office at 791-2220 or stop by the office in AC-112 to find out what type of hold is on your record and what you need to do to have it cleared.
You will need to stop by the Admissions and Records office to find out what type of hold has been placed on your records and what you need to do to clear it.
This means that you have not met the prerequisite of the course you are trying to enroll into. Sometimes a prerequisite is another class, or it could be a certain score on the placement test for an English class. The prerequisites for each class are listed on the course description in the class schedule and catalog. If you are still not sure what prerequisite you need, you should either speak with a counselor or stop by the Admissions and Records office to find out what prerequisite you are missing.
Some classes have a specified number of times you can repeat the class. If it says "Repeat Exceeds" when you try to register, that means that you have already maxed out on the number of times you can repeat the class. Therefore, you cannot take this same class anymore.

Wednesday, February 23, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
LEESBURG, Ga. -- Uel Kemp, who was named general manager of the Lee County-owned Grand Island Club in August last year, submitted his resignation to County Administrator Tony Massey Wednesday.
Lee County Commission Chairman Ed Duffy said the commission accepted Kemp's resignation.
"This just wasn't the position he wanted," Duffy said. "We told Uel we'd give him a good recommendation for any future position he might seek, and we will. He's a good person, and we wish him well."
Duffy said the county's Parks and Recreation Authority, made up of its Board of Commissioners, will serve as interim managers of the facility while the search for a new general manager is ongoing.
Kemp said Wednesday afternoon he did not want to discuss his resignation.
"I'll just offer no comment," he said. "I plan to pursue other opportunities. I really enjoyed my time at Grand Island, and I really like the members of the club. I most likely will pursue a club pro position somewhere."
Kemp came to the Grand Island position with more than 20 years experience in franchise ownership and consulting in the food services industry. He also had a brief career in the insurance industry.
At a special called meeting of the Parks and Rec Authority in early January, Lee Finance Director Heather Kittrell revealed that Grand Island was operating at a shortfall of $57,539.67 through the first six months of the 2010-11 fiscal year. Kemp was told at the time to make cuts in operating costs.
New County Administrator Tony Massey said the county will do everything it can to "make the best of Grand Island."
"It's a pretty unique opportunity for a government to have a quality-of-life product like Grand Island," Massey, who started work at his position on Feb. 7, said. "I think our next action will be to meet with employees and staff at the club and find out what steps they think we should make to enhance revenue out there.
"Golf courses are not, in general, large profit-making operations, so we have to keep our expectations realistic. The trick, though, is to generate enough revenue to break even and assure that the facility is made available at no cost to taxpayers."
Duffy said Grand Island remains a viable recreational facility in the community.
"This facility needs to remain in the hands of the county," he said. "It provides so many benefits to the community: golf, tennis, walking trails and free use by our students in the Lee County School System. It's a place all our citizens can utilize."

Oliver Bozanic is targeting both the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA World Cup this year.
The 24-year old Australian midfielder is impressing win his first season with Swiss club FC Luzern who are currently placed four points behind league leaders FC Basel.
Former Reading and Central Coast Mariners man Bozanic, who has scored five goals in 16 league outings for Luzern, is hoping he can push die Leuchten into the top two so they can compete in Europe's premier club competition next season.
"We're in the top four at the moment, but we're not far away from second and first place. It's very tight," he told au.fourfourtwo.com.
"It would be a massive achievement to qualify for Europe obviously from last season when the club finished eighth out of ten. But at the moment it's just taking it one game at a time. We go into every game winning, we don't go up against the so-called games to lose. We don't need to look too far ahead to get back on track."
Bozanic, who made his debut for the Socceroos in October last year, was also striving to force his way into Ange Postecoglou's squad for Brazil 2014.
"I've been very happy to part of the Socceroos for the last two camps and I hope to get another opportunity in March (against Ecuador)," Bozanic added.
"It was always my dream to play for the Socceroos. Every time you put on the shirt it's a massive honour and I hope to do that many more times."

Bali Bandz and Bali Point to Point Tablerunner Pattern Quilts
Gifted by Common Thread Designs
Reviwed by Maria Nerius
I enjoyed the Common Thread Designs' booth at Fall Quilt Market 2010 and the company was generous enough to gift me two pattern kits to review. Bali Bandz is a wearable fiber art design that can also be adapted for party favors, shoe jewelry, bookmarks, gift bows, and zipper pulls. Everything you need is listed and it is a simple list of fabric, felt, needle and thread, beads, and bias tape maker. The finished designs photographed are bold and exciting, but know you can adapt the color and design of the fabrics to your own taste or needs. The instructions are well written. The Bali Point to Point is a pretty tablerunner, again with a complete material list and well-written instructions. I felt that a beginner could complete both projects after a review with my quilting friends. Common Threads has excellent designs with well-crafted instruction.

On the other hand, I was into drugs so bad I probably would have killed myself if I was in New York and making money."
So the Minneapolis kid weaned on Little Richard records stayed home, ensconced on the West Bank, the local epicenter of the counterculture, dodging regret but adding perspective.

- Overall rating:
Bobbi Brown Beige Shimmer Brick is a shimmering, brush-on powder that creates a candlelight glow. It can be used after blush and works well with pink, neutral and peach blush shades.
Sweep the Face Blender Brush through all five shades of Shimmer Brick Compact and dust lightly on cheekbones after blush. Focus on applying shimmer on the top of cheekbones - where light naturally hits the face - for the most flattering look.
To add a highlight to eyes apply the lightest shade in the compact just under browbone. Use fingertips or the Eye Smudge Brush.

Rose Shade is a Great Blush for Winter!
I have used this mainly as a blush and it gives a very natural look. I own the Rose shade and generally only use it in cooler months because the tone is more suited for it.
I feel this shade doesn't suit my skin tone as a highlighter though as all the shades in it are quite pink.
The size is quite large but it is quite pricey so it has lasted for ages.

Glamorous product with a dual function
After reviewing the MAC strobe liquid, which I use until this day, my hunger for highlighters/shimmers came full circle again (ha ha). I was in the CBD when I picked up BB's shimmer brick after practically DROOLING over the 'Scotch on the Rocks' collection. Honestly, amazing. But so pricey, 'limited edition' truly does give me anxiety, I hope they dont scrap it after the holidays. Anyway, this brick is apart of the
'Scotch on the Rocks' collection, for reference at the counter. I've given the product four stars as I feel I do prefer a liquid highlight, in which the distribution of shimmer can be controlled a little better. But this product wasn't too shabby. Mind you, I wore it yesterday for half the day in the sun (the sun hit my cheekbones and temples and whoa, pearly-ness= check) and today for work, but I still feel that's given me a sufficient idea of the product.
Something I have not yet tried, but a major component of why I spent the money on this product is the fact that these shades, which are great, nice and warm/neutral, on their own, can be used as eyeshadows. I highly suggest using it as both shimmer/bronzer and eyeshadow to really get your money's worth. From the way I applied it (just a swirl of the brush in the product i.e. all the shades and swiping and blending on cheek bones and temples) and the staying power in the sun I'd safely say it the individual shades would be minimal fallout, if any, and the staying power should mimic the staying power for elsewhere on the face. In case anybody is unaware of exactly where to apply shimmer, it's quite a unique placement for everybody, depending on individual needs and capacity for a luminous look to the face. A common method, and one I use with all highlighters/shimmers I try that are powders as opposed to liquid is a little with my finger on the cupids bow, using a small brush and applying a little under the eyebrow bone to give the look of a raised eyebrow, on each cheekbone and on my temples :)
Ideal for
I can't be sure about the barbie-esque (strong pink) blushes, so I won't comment on it but as BB did mention in the description of the shimmer brick, it is also ideal for those wearing peachy/peachy-pink blushes (in my case) and it's very true. I'm sure if this proves right the other Bobbi Brown suggestions would too, so if you're a neutral or pink blush give this a try.

Love love love!
Absolutely love this BB shimmer brick! It is so versatile as well. Can be used as a highlighter on the cheekbones, bronzer to deepen tan with a bronze glow & eyeshadow. Lasts all day on me. No scent and does not break out my sensitive skin.

Bobbi Brown's beige shimmer brick is my absolute favourite highlighter for day-wear. I have quite pale skin, so a lot of highlighters I find can look too glittery and pigmented on me. My other favourite highlighter is the Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer, however it is so pigmented that I find it looks too intensive for day-to-day wear. This is where the beige shimmer brick comes in handy. It provides a gorgeous, candle-lit glow to the skin when swept along the cheekbones, browbone and cupid's bow. This highlighter is very long-lasting and doesn't fade throughout the day. Additionally, I haven't found fall-out to be a problem at all. I'd recommend this highlighter to those with pale-medium skin. People with darker skin tones may find this highlighter a bit too light, in which case I'd recommend the bronze shimmerbrick. My only real complaint about this product is the price. In Australia, it retails for $72 AUD. While this product is good, I don't think it merits this kind of a price tag. Overall, this is a stunning highlighter that provides a subtle, long-lasting glow and is suitable for day to day usage.

Pretty Shimmer
I use this shimmer brick for so many things, it definitely has multiple uses. I use it every day to contour my cheeks by using the lightest shade as highlighter and a medium brown for a bronzer which achieves a sun kissed look. This brick offers a nice shimmer and is also great to be used as eye shadow. I use it for a smoky brown eye on a night out or just a nice every day colour when using the lighter colours.
I love this brick, it looks nice and I love the packaging. The only downside I have to this product is that it is very expensive but I can justify the splurge as it lasts ages and I am yet to replace it.

These colour are just like the mini versions of the naked palette, except it is in a portable size and it can also be used in different purposes.
I use this as an eye shadow and highlighter. This product is great for inner corner highlight and under the brow. The many shades of brown and pink makes a great everyday eye look, which is pretty natural for workwear or uniwear. I used a primer once, and deliberately packed colours onto my lids for a dramatic look without being too over the top, and I really loved the look - I wear it again if I have too! It brought definition to my face, and I no longer look flat or ignored in photos. Love this product - recommend it to officers or uni students.

So Pretty!
I LOVE the Bobbi Brown Beige Shimmer Brick.
I use this during the warmer months and swap it up with the Rose Shimmer Brick in the cooler months.
The Shimmer Brick is great because it has so many uses - use it as an all over shimmer, or pick out a specific colour to use an an eye shadow or highlight under browbones specifically.
