Hand-to-Hand Combat is the twentieth episode of Mobile Suit Gundam.
Elsewhere, Ramba finally gets word from Dozle that he will be supplied with three MS-09 Doms. In the mines, however, M'Quve thinks the situation over. As he doesn't want anyone to find out his activities in the mines, and hopes to keep them concealed until Kycilia takes over. He comes to the decision to sabotage Ramba, who already knows too much.
On the White Base, Ryu gets word that some of the men have run off, including Hayato and Kai. Ryu speeds off after them, ignoring Mirai, who wants to join him. Bright tells Mirai that he feels very unsure after Amuro's departure, though he cannot figure out why.
Ramba waits for his Doms, but only a ship from M'Quve's forces appears. A soldier comes out and tells him that their escort ship didn't arrive in time, and the ship carrying the Doms was quickly destroyed. He doesn't worry, however, determined to destroy the enemy mobile suit.
Ryu finally catches up to the men, who have stopped completely. Hayato tells them that they're unneeded on White Base, and are planning to meet up with other Federation forces. While they're out in the desert, Ramba and his forces close in to attack. They fly pass the men, who all begin speeding back to the ship.
Amuro eats lunch in his cell as the enemy forces approach. The alarms ring, and everyone takes their battlestations. White Base begins firing on the Gallop, which is advancing from the front. A Zaku comes in from the left, and Sayla launches in Gundam, this time with Bright's blessing. The guys arrive in their buggies, and make it into White Base. Sayla takes out the Zaku. Ramba and a sizeable group of his men come from behind and open fire. Realizing that the Zeon soldiers plan to board, everyone readies their close-quarters weapons. Ramba and his men come in with jetpacks, perching atop the ship. Bombs are planted, then detonated, allowing them entrance. Clam charges in, taking out a Federation soldier, but is killed by another who flanks him. Ramba advances forward with his men, and comes across Fraw. Knocking the gun from her hand, he tells her to go hide somewhere safe.
A soldier attacks Amuro, proceeding in a hand to hand engagement. Bright shoots him with a pistol, and tells Amuro to get moving. Sayla comes upon Ramba, freezing when he points his gun at her. Ramba looks in awe at Sayla, calling her "Your highness". He calls her "Artesia", and tells her his name, saying that his father, Jimba Ral, served under her father, Zeon Zum Deukin, founder of Zeon. Before Ramba can speak to her further, Ryu bursts in, and hits Ramba. Ramba gets a shot off on Ryu as well, then retreats to a small room with his remaining men. He contacts Hamon and tells her that the mission was a failure, and that in the middle of a fight, he had forgotten to fight. Gundam blasts open the side of the room, killing most of the men in the process. Ramba remains, badly injured, and begins walking towards the gaping hole. As the crew members enter, Ramba tells them to witness what he calls a soldier's death. He lights a grenade and jumps from the ship, exploding in Gundam's hand. The Gallop opens fire on Gundam, and Amuro takes it out, but Hamon nevertheless survives, barely escaping in a small pod.
Four of the crew members carry the motionless Ryu through the corridors of White Base on a stretcher.

Does anyone know anything about the hunting aroung Shadehill Res. in South Dakota? We are looking for a place that I can bowhunt whitetails since I can't go very often here in Colorado (once every 4-5 years on the draw). If anybody knows anything about the hunting in NW SD or if you know of any other public land that we could check out in SD/Nebraska/WY/North Dakota I would appreciate the information!
I got the itch pretty bad this year when I had my whitetail tag and now I am looking to go more! Would love to find something that has some sleeper bucks in it if possible (don't we all want to find that though) :) I'm not looking for 200" bucks but some around the 140/150+ mark would be awesome!

When a family member has a cognitive impairment and cannot manage his/her affairs, legal and/or financial planning is often needed. Areas of concern to family caregivers include future health care decisions, management of assets, public benefits planning and, in some cases, litigation.
When seeking legal advice, finding a knowledgeable, competent attorney is extremely important. California residents who are caring for a brain-impaired adult and who are not receiving any other publicly funded legal services may be eligible for a one-time legal consultation from Family Caregiver Alliance or one of its Caregiver Resource Center affiliates. If further legal advice is appropriate, it is the responsibility of the individual to seek an attorney.
One of the surest ways to find an attorney is through a personal recommendation. This may be a recommendation from a friend, relative or co-worker, or from another attorney whom you know and trust. A good way to get a personal recommendation is to attend a support group of persons in a similar situation. Someone there may already have had experience with a knowledgeable attorney and be able to share his or her experience. Referrals, as well as advice, for individuals aged 60 or over may also be obtained from senior legal services provided by local Area Agencies on Aging funded by the Older Americans Act. Independent community legal aid agencies may also offer assistance to persons of all ages.
Another way of locating an attorney is through an attorney referral service. The local bar association in your community may have a panel which refers callers to lawyers in various specializations. After describing your needs, you will be referred to the most appropriate specialist. Initial consultations generally include a nominal fee.
Caution should be exercised if such a referral service is used. Panel-referred attorneys need meet only minimum requirements and may have little experience. It is important to check the qualifications of an attorney and to make calls to compare fees and experience. Keep in mind that laws vary from state to state.
Most attorneys concentrate on one or two areas of law. It is especially important for the family caregiver to find an attorney who has the appropriate expertise. Attorneys advising caregivers on planning for long-term care should have knowledge of the following areas of law:
Some attorneys are certified specialists. For example, an attorney can be a certified specialist in taxation, estate planning, probate or elder law. In the case of an accident, a personal injury attorney is needed. It is advisable to select someone who has had jury trial experience.
Attorneys often do not know about all of the above-mentioned areas. In the case of a personal injury, two attorneys may be needed—one to litigate an accident settlement and another to help plan for long-term financial or health care needs.
Before contacting an attorney, a family caregiver may find it useful to familiarize him or herself to some extent with areas of the law which are of interest. It is also helpful to have a clear idea of what one would like as an outcome of a legal consultation. Learning as much as possible ahead of time will better prepare the prospective client for a productive consultation.
More specifically, individuals who are interested in the durable power of attorney for health care may wish to think about what type of life-sustaining procedures they would want used in the case of a serious illness. In addition, it may be helpful to identify a first, second and third choice of a family member or a trusted friend to make personal health care and financial decisions in the event you are unable to do this for yourself.

Barrow workers facing axe told to run the firm
Last updated at 13:44, Monday, 30 April 2012
DISABLED workers facing the axe at Barrow's Remploy factory have been told there is hope for their jobs – but only if they can take over the business and make it viable.
The government plans to set aside £300,000 to help disabled workers take over centres earmarked for the axe, including the Barrow site.
The minister for disabled people, Maria Miller, said the cash – just over £10,000 for each factory facing closure – would pay for lawyers and accountants to advise on rescue proposals.
She added: "We want to encourage as many employees to come forward as possible. This money will help support employees to put together credible bids to safeguard the jobs of disabled people."
Councillors and Remploy staff gathered signatures for a petition to keep the factory open in Barrow town centre on Friday.
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock has also written to Ms Miller asking for a meeting to discuss the threatened factory.
Mr Woodcock added: "Workers whose livelihood is under threat will want to see that this offer can bring genuine help – they will feel cruelly used if ministers steam ahead to close the Barrow factory as planned.
"Workers and management at Barrow are convinced that the factory has tapped into a viable market. It should be given the chance to succeed."
The GMB union said £300,000 was nowhere near enough, given that it was just a fraction of the millions the government was taking away from Remploy.
A spokesman added: "To enable these factory sites to become viable, there is a need for a proper programme of funding and a reduction in the massive non-disabled management, which costs up to £20m per year."
And Barrow team leader Jayne Greenhalgh said the Flass Lane factory would have to operate as a separate entity, as the work they carry out (producing clean air filters for medical use) is too complex for them to enter a cooperate.
She said: "I have heard a cooperative discussed and it isn't an option for us. This may work for a Remploy site where they do recycling and things like that. But here we operate a complex business where we carry about £80,000 worth of stock."
The department for work and pensions has described the threatened factories as "unlikely to achieve independent financial viability".

Have your say
Fully agree with the post by C.The country inherited an unprecedented financial disaster from Labour and austerity measures and other action was and still is needed; the effect on countries failing to take these measures is clear to see.Closing Remploy is not an austerity measure but a failure to recognise the value and worth of the organisation and of those who work within.Savings will allegedly be made?Having made employed "people" unemployed "statistics" the Government intends to put in place measures to find jobs for those affected in mainstream employment. How will it do that?PACKAGE OF PERSONALISED INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED SUPPORT FOR EVERY DISABLED PERSON AFFECTED TO GET PEOPLE INTO MAINSTREAM EMPLOYMENTCOMMUNITY FUND TO PROVIDE GRANTS TO LOCAL DISABILITY ORGANISATIONS TO HELPONE TO ONE SESSIONS WITH EMPLOYEES AND FAMILIES TO OFFER FINANCIAL, WORK AND SKILLS ADVICELOCAL RAPID RESPONSE SERVICE TEAMS TO IDENTIFY JOB OPPORTUNITIESA PERSONAL CASE WORKER TO DEVELOP ACTION PLAN TO IDENTIFY NEEDSREFERRAL TO MENTORING AND BEFRIENDING SERVICESPERSONAL BUDGET TO USE ON SERVICES NOT OFFERED BY OTHER FUNDING STREAMSACCESS TO OTHER WORK OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH REMPLOY AND JOB CENTRE PLUSREFERRAL TO LOCAL USER LED ORGANISATIONS TO PROVIDE PERSONAL ASSISTANCEREFERRAL TO BACK TO WORK SUPPORT SERVICESAnd the "financial" cost of this unmitigated disaster? Who knows. The "human" cost.....too much.Mrs Miller, Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg....I would welcome a complete reversal or rejection of this policy.....as a Conservative Councillor I have to tell you....I support the need to control the finances, to impose austerity measures to clear the debt, to have welfare reform, etc......however, "you are completely wrong to do this to vulnerable people in my town and elsewhere". Please stop this now and allow those affected the comfort of knowing, not only that their jobs are not at risk but their lifestyles, support programs and friendships are also not destroyed; to do so will devastate their lives.....as a Conservative.....I cannot support this proposal.
I agree with Concerned. There's no doubting the current government have had some very difficult decisions to make to rectify the mess they inherited from Labour, but they've gone the wrong way about it. Austerity measures - yes. But if you tighten your belt too much, you cut off the blood supply. They say that they will use the money saved by closing the factories getting disabled people into mainstream work but given the current employment situation who is going to employ a disabled person ahead of an abled bodied person unless there's subsidies involved? This government is either out-of-touch or seriously underhanded. If managed correctly, Remploy (Barrow branch at least) could be profitable, but it seems like they've already been sold down the river (like the pit in Brassed Off). Cameron's a one term PM

I am using a Netgear WNR3500v2/U/L on DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/12/10) mega - build 14929. This build has been great for the most part, but there are times when my wireless signal randomly drops. This desktop is only maybe 20 feet away from the router. My laptop is also the same distance from it, literally just around the corner with open doors. There are no devices (in my apartment, at least) that can be interfering with it. Perhaps the neighbor has something interfering, though. I am not going to say this is a firmware issue, but I figured I would take this opportunity to install Tomato Firmware on it. I wish to use this build via this guide.
Now please excuse my ignorance, but does the "U" in the model name make it a completely different router? I am unsure of what the "U" even means. Also, I remember when I first installed DD-WRT on it, I had to do it via a wired connection and have a specific static IP. In the guide (unless I am blind), it does not mention it. I cannot see how changing the firmware over wireless would even work, so I am assuming it does have to be a wired connection. What should the static IP be, then? Lastly, by reading this guide, it simply says I change the file extension from .chk to .bin for it to be loaded from DD-WRT. Is that true?
Thank you in advance.

Why is the Shofar sounded on Rosh Hashanah?
To begin with, we blow the shofar on Rosh Hashana because God said so. See Numbers 29:1.
Our tradition assigns a great deal of symbolism to the shofar blowing. Two major themes are summarized very nicely by R' Joseph B. Soloveitchik, as I found quoted in Machzor Mesoras Harav (p. 440).
If you're interested in more details about the symbolism of the Shofar, Rav Sa'adia Gaon listed ten specific allusions in the shofar:
It is blown as a wakeup call to us. That is why we blow the shofar the whole elul, leading up to rosh hashana. To remind us that we need to do teshuva (repentance).
As you listen to the shofar being blown, close your eyes for a few seconds and let the sounds penetrate and think about doing teshuva and making yourself a better person.

A diaper organizer will keep all supplies, especially diapers, within reach of the changing table or crib while allowing one hand to be kept on baby for safety. A baby organizer is a fantastic investment for a parent to make. A top baby organizer is the Dex Ultimate Baby Organizer. It features sturdy shelves and can hold 60 diapers. A diaper organizer like a diaper caddy also comes in handy because it allows for easy transport of diapers. Whether it's a baby organizer or a diaper caddy, a diaper organizer or diaper stacker, keeping baby's supplies in one place is an important task.

Inside the locker room: Charlie BatchDecember 5, 2012 by Teresa Varley
Are you ready for this week?
I'm ready. I'm coming back in and just preparing for San Diego this week. I'm just excited.
Is it hard approaching a week like this where you don't know if you will be the starter, even though it was the same situation last week?
Same situation last week. I'll have a better indication as the week unfolds but as I stand here in front of you now I honestly don't know.
What has it been like for you in the days since you beat the Ravens?
A lot of [time in the] ice tub. [Laughs]
What did Baltimore do for your confidence and the confidence of the offense?
I think just going out there, doing something that nobody thought we could do, I think everybody was eager to get back on the field because of the performance we had in Cleveland. You turn the ball over eight times, you lose the ball game, and it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. For me, I was hoping to get that opportunity and go out there and have another shot. We knew it was going to be tough and it was just one of those things that we had to do whatever we needed to do to win.
It was a tough week last week, right?
It was. That's the nature of football. You look back one week and if you don't do the job, you have to live with those results all week and people continue to talk about it. Everybody was just excited to put it behind them when we got in here on Wednesday.
Do you have to take the majority of reps this week?
I would like to have all the reps if you know you're going to be the starter for the week. But as long as Ben [Roethlisberger] is ready to go he's going to go. Then you kind of fall back into the role which you normally fall back into. I'm used to that, which is typically preparing if you're going to play but then not necessarily get the reps and ultimately not play. I understand both sides of it and right now I'm comfortable either way.
Did you need the cold tub just for your arm or for everything else?
No, I do it all the time, jump into the ice tub. But it's something after a game you don't really know how sore you are until about 24 hours after the game. For me, I just try to stick with my routine. I was in there a little bit longer at times.
Is it a situation where you want to play but you also want Roethlisberger back in there?
You always want to play but my role is the backup. So, if he's ready to play you can't be sad about that. Ben is the guy. So, whenever Ben is ready to go he's going to be out there and he's going to do everything in his power to be out there.
Did your performance buy Roethlisberger an extra week to heal up?
All I do is go out there, and if I'm called upon, do my job and I don't know in what capacity. You never want to wish injury on anybody and as long as [Roethlisberger] is healthy he's going to be out there. Selfishly, you look at it as an opportunity to go out and play because that's why we're ultimately here..
You said your struggles against Cleveland were a result of poor decision-making rather than rust. Do those two things play hand-in-hand? Did you feel sharper with your decision-making against Baltimore?
No, it goes back to another week of preparation which I had and going out there and doing your job. For me, it was one of those things where I'm not going to use an excuse and I refuse to do that. I know I played bad against Cleveland and it was just one of those things of going out and proving that I could go out there and lead the team and that's all I was trying to do. It wasn't one way or another and I'm not going to sit here and do that, and I never will use anything as an excuse.
Re: The image of the emotional hug between you and Roethlisberger after the game:
That was in the game and something that when you look at it, you're playing you leave everything on the field. The game is emotional. It's just something that people will see that and for me you look at it, it's a new opportunity this week. It's not something that I'll continue to talk about.
What is your reaction to people to talking about your age? Happy birthday, by the way.
Thank you. As long as you're able to do it, regardless of your age, there might be some 26-year olds that feel worse than I do. It doesn't matter. I think that's something that media tends to put on people as far as age. But realistically, in this business, when you're 30 years old they consider you old, but when you're my age your pretty much ancient. That's just something that is the nature of the game. At some point, there's always going to be young guys that are going to come in and take your job. That's just part of it. There's nothing you can do about it because I'm sure there are a bunch of 40-year olds that think they can still but, unfortunately, they don't get the opportunity.
Did you need a game like that? Did you feel like you needed to prove anything to yourself?
Yeah, because I wanted to go out there and prove that the Cleveland game was not me. That was more or less anything, just going out there and doing my job. But not knowing if I would have that opportunity that following week added up to the whole week. Because you're like, "Wow, that was the last game I started this year." It would be tough to swallow that. You just don't know. You just go through it each week and see how it plays out.
Did you ponder if that was the final start of your career?
No, you never start thinking about that. For me, I just look back and I don't know how the rumors started anyway at the top of the week on that. After the game, you look because you just don't know how things are going to play out because you look back and you say maybe there is a possibility that Ben is going to start this week and if he does, I won't start. Bottom line. So you always are going to look at that and think is this your last game starting or not. There could have been a time this year where maybe I didn't start at all if he didn't get injured. You just don't know how that whole thing plays out. When you're a backup there's times that you may start a game during the season or there may be years before you get a start. You just don't know how the whole thing unfolds.
What are your expectations for the week? Will you split the snaps?
Honestly, I don't know. I don't know how [Roethlisberger] is going to feel throughout the course of practice. Maybe there are some plays that he may not need or there may be plays where he does want one. If he wants them, then my reps are going to be less. I just don't know how this thing is going to unfold. I probably will have a better answer after practice.
Do you have the whole menu of plays available to you?
I have the whole menu of plays but I think when you look at this situation now, it's almost like, if he does take more reps, now I'm not just taking the first team reps, I have to also put on the Philip Rivers helmet.
Won't QB Brian Hoyer do that?
It could be both because maybe he needs a break. Ben's not going to do it. [Laughs] That's just how it goes. It something that I just don't know how this thing is going to unfold.
What are you doing for your birthday?
Relaxing. I'm working.
What have you seen from the Chargers and how important is it to not have letdown after the Baltimore win?
They are very tough. Their defense is solid and they've been playing solid the entire year. Two weeks ago they had Baltimore on the ropes and gave up a fourth-and-29 play before they ultimately lost that football game. We can't take anything for granted. We know they're going to be tough coming in here and we need to expect their best, which we know we're going to get.

Vehicle History Report Overview
Summary: Vehicle History Reports and VIN Lookups
Vehicle History Reports, also known as car checks, VIN checks, and car history reports, are useful when buying a used car. Vehicle history reports have information about a car's previous owners, mileage, accidents, maintenance records, and more. Get the car history report before buying any used car.
Vehicle History Reports for Used Cars
Getting a vehicle history report (also known as a VIN check, VIN report, used car reports, and car history reports) for a used car is as important as a test drive.
Vehicle identification number (VIN) checks reveal information about a car's previous owners and make/model details, but they also provide you with detailed information about damages, accidents, service records, and previous uses of the vehicle.
With a vehicle history check, you can learn about a car's entire history:
- As a car buyer: Giving you insight on whether you're getting a good deal.
- As a car seller: Preparing you to answer any questions a buyer may have about the car.
Ordering a VIN History Report
If you are buying a used car from a private seller and want the car history, you'll need to pay for a vehicle history report/VIN lookup from companies like CarFax or AutoCheck. Cost of vehicle history reports vary by provider.
A free vehicle history report may be offered by car dealers selling certified pre-owned vehicles. If you are shopping for a used car at a dealership, ask for the free vehicle history report.
NOTE: Always beware of websites offering free vin checks and free VIN history reports, these may be scams.
Did You Know? VIN Lookup vs. Vehicle History Report
A car VIN check or VIN search may also refer to database checks performed by law enforcement and DMV offices to check for stolen vehicles. These agencies will often run a free VIN check to check if a vehicle is stolen if you provide them with the car's information.
Vehicle History Report Information
A vehicle history report (VHR) lowers the risk when purchasing a car. Many dealerships include car history reports to highlight a vehicle's quality and to prove they're selling at a fair market price.
In a used car report, you'll generally find information about:
- Lemon status.
- Accident history and service records.
- Total loss and major repairs.
- Mileage and average miles per year.
- Lien and ownership history.
- Warranties remaining on the car.
Many car history report companies also include information about the fair market price range of the specific year, make, and model of vehicle in the history check. Comparing price and car history can help you negotiate the best price.
NOTE: VIN checks can inform law enforcement whether a vehicle has been reported as stolen. Be wary of a private seller that is reluctant to provide you with a vehicle's VIN number.
VIN Lookup Warning Signs
Exercise caution if any of following red flags appear on your vehicle history report:
- Odometer tampering.
- Failed emission tests―If you reside in an area requiring emission inspections, you may face a hefty repair bill to make the vehicle street legal and mechanically able to pass a smog check/vehicle inspection.
- Proof of major accident―Hidden costly and dangerous damages, like cracked frames, are common.
- Salvaged vehicles.
- Flood damage―Potential engine damages due to flood damage are difficult to detect and generally expensive to repair.
- Irregular or missed vehicle maintenance.
- Forged vehicle history reports― If a vehicle history report looks fake and is coming from a stranger, it may be worth ordering your own.
- Stolen vehicles―If a law enforcement VIN lookup finds a vehicle is stolen, DO NOT BUY IT.
If you have any questions about something that appears on a vehicle history report/VIN check you order, contact the vehicle history company.

I am setting up my family's history site and will be having multiple users add content to it. Content will be photos, stories, family tree data (ged format probably), and whatever else they want to put in. I would prefer PHP for the platform and as low cost (if not free), as possible.
Having taken a short poll - family would love to be able to blog from an application on their computer instead of having to log in to the site to make things easier. (NOT A DEAL BREAKER THOUGH if this isn't possible).
Most users are computer literate, but a few have problems navigating CMS systems as a whole so I want it to be as simple for them as possible in a WYSIWYG blogging environment.
I have toyed with Wordpress, but frankly - not a huge fan of the every other week it seems or more often updates that happen a lot. Not to mention, have trained several people in past in the use of WordPress and while they grasp it fairly well, it just isn't an easy thing it seems.
I develop in Joomla and while this will do everything I want (except for desktop blogging with their newest version of Joomla), users can find it to be a steep learning curve.
I have played with Serendipity and that looks promising, but it didn't render text well - did a copy/paste from email and it didn't justify correctly. Whereas other systems did fine.
I know there a hundreds of options so just wanted to see if you had recommendations or software you might have used with your client(s) in the past that is not only super flexible for developing but also easy as knowing their ABC's for them.

Great center activity!

About Me 2nd grade teacher, Education Oriented
Best Uses
Comments about Quiz Whiz™:
I am a 2nd grade teacher, and I love using this Quiz Whiz game during learning centers. There are some game cards that come with it, but I usually use the Math Games Galore and Language Games Galore game cards. They are made by Creative Teaching Press, and they go perfectly with this game. It is so easy to set up. All I do is put the question cards on the left side and the answer cards (in any order) on the right side. Then, I set the answers and switch the mode to 'practice'. My students love playing Quiz Whiz during center time. They must practice first. They set the mode to 'practice' and go through all of the problems. It tells them if they get the questions right or wrong as they go, so they can change their answers while it's on 'practice' mode. Then, once they finish practicing, they switch the mode to 'quiz'. They take turns answering the questions and then the Quiz Whiz tells them what percentage they got right. If they get 100% correct, it makes a congratulatory sound and they get super excited! It is also nice for me because I can hear what percent they got right while working with a different group. My students love this center so much that when they were making their Christmas lists last year, many of them said they wanted a Quiz Whiz at home! This is a great product, and if they go on sale again, I will buy a second one so I can use one for Literacy centers and one for Math centers.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Sweetness of Success
Student-Run ACT Prep Class Surpasses Expectations
|SLU biology and philosophy major, Michael Ford (A&S '13), helps high school senior, Lamont Slaughter, prepare for the ACT in April.
ST. LOUIS - Saint Louis University pre-med students head to Vashon and Roosevelt High high schools on Wednesday mornings, bearing candy. The treats are a yummy reminder for the high schoolers that ACT tutoring is being offered after school at SLU, and is just a taste of what lies ahead.
The Collegiate Honors Preparatory Program (CHPP), a program created and staffed by undergraduates in SLU's Alpha Epsilon Delta, the honor society for pre-med students, builds upon the sweetness of success.
CHPP got its start last spring when pre-med students at SLU approached Philip Alderson, M.D., vice president for health sciences, about making a positive change in the community. He challenged them to reach out to students in the local public schools to help improve their standardized test scores.
Standardized tests present one of the biggest challenges for students, creating roadblocks in the college application process.
"As an individual who came from a public city school, I understand some of the obstacles these students face," said Michael Railey, M.D., associate dean of multicultural affairs for the School of Medicine and CHPP faculty mentor.
"We're having difficulty keeping students from disadvantaged environments interested in science. It's my personal goal that by getting these students qualified for college, some of them will go on to pursue careers in medicine or the sciences."
Tangible Results
In the pilot year, CHPP focused solely on the reading comprehension section of the ACT. After only 10 weeks, the average reading section test score improved by nine points.
Now in its second year, CHPP has expanded to prepare students for all four sections of the ACT. Though, most students won't take the ACT until April 9, the diagnostic practice tests have found significant improvements in the students' comprehensive scores.
"I love that we're students helping students," said Jessica Modock (A&S '11), one of the founding members of CHPP. "We're not too far removed from the high school experience, which I think really makes a difference."
In most cases, students who regularly attend CHPP sessions have had a three to four point increase in their comprehensive scores. The largest jump was from a student who went from a seven to a 14.
For many, the difference determines whether or not they go to college. Since the program's inception, nine seniors who were tutored through CHPP have been accepted into college.
Because of its success, the program is growing. Last year, between six and 12 high school students attended the one-on-one tutoring sessions. Now, between 20 and 25 regularly come for ACT prep.
"I need a lot of ACT prep to get into the colleges I want," said Lamont Slaughter, a senior at Roosevelt High School who regularly attends the CHPP sessions. "I like that the tutoring is one-on-one instead of a whole class. If I have a question, they can answer it right away."
Beyond the Classroom
Though their service isn't directly related to medicine, CHPP volunteers learn the art of teaching, a skill they will use throughout their lives. For many of the tutors, it's been an experience that has changed their college experience.
"I'm a pre-med biology major, but I've learned that I really love teaching," said CHPP executive board member Sarah Bieser (A&S '11). "These students are motivated and want to succeed. Our program simply provides them with additional resources and encouragement to excel. Seeing the excitement on students' faces when they've made progress is what keeps me coming back."
SLU's commitment to providing students with transformative learning experiences like CHPP is a reflection of the University's mission to educate the whole person.
"Great physicians shouldn't just be intelligent technicians. They should be humanistic," Railey said. "Giving students the opportunity to serve now sends them on their way towards a purpose-driven life."

The title is a bit tongue in cheek, but it is an area of genuine interest for me and folks in my field. This segment should definitely make you think about some things.
The title is a bit tongue in cheek, but it is an area of genuine interest for me and folks in my field. This segment should definitely make you think about some things.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
Two points:
1. Both critics of antidepressants (Kirsch and Brown) have severly crowded lower front teeth.
2. Dr. Brown is from Brown University.
Coincidence? I don't think so.
But two serious points:
1. For a placebo to work, the patient must believe that he is receiving real medication, so if he has seen this story and is suspicious of his prescription, he's out of luck.
2. Ever since 60 Minutes aired a piece legitimizing the lunatics who believe that the mercury in silver dental fillings is harmful to patients, I've had no faith in their credibility.
Atrophy: what you get when you win atournament.
As for #1, that was his point throughout the segment, as well as other research that I've read on it.
Now, #2...I had a student a few years back who was about as bat poop crazy as you could get. She told me how she had every mercury filling in her mouth removed, and consequently, EVERY major ailment that she ever had instantly went away (can we say, "Placebo Effect?").
Now, I've been suspicious of the dangers of mercury fillings ever since meeting her, but I don't share the sentiment toward 60 Minutes.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
I have heard of studies that show a placebo effect works even when the patients are told that they are being given a placebo. the theory is being in a Doctor's office having a professional to talk to about your symptoms and verbalizing how you feel to someone else actually makes people feel better.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
I'd be rather pissed upon hearing my surgeon had opened me up and then closed me up w/0 doing anything . My chronic pain Dr. told me that was basically what happened in my fist surgery yet I was prepared for that as my surgeon told me he'd be surprised if my surgery lasted 6 months as had rotator cuff arthropathy with degenerative arthritis . To me , there is a helluva difference between giving someone sugar pills and cutting them open , and psychiatrists are charletans at best.
You know, I think I would rather be a man than a god . We don't need anyone to believe in us. We just keep going anyhow. It's what we do.
Atrophy: what you get when you win atournament.
Yes, it's always been my understanding that subjects have to be informed that placebos are used in the research.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.

A little off topic, but...
I absolutely LOVE The Discovery Store... it comes in close 2nd behind any good bookstore :) Yesterday, while visiting The Discovery Store, I saw some amazing things that parents and kids might want to take a look at - there were Chemistry lab sets, something called the "Try-This-At-Home Science Kit" which I'll probably buy as an investment for my future children (yeah, that sounds good), and the DNA Explorer Lab which had the coolest looking device I've seen that included a centrifuge, mixer, and plenty of tubes and bottles. They had this one things called a Forensic Lab that came with mysteries that you solved by doing the chemistry...
I'm writing this because obviously I love the LEGO Mindstorms NXT and its potential for encouraging students... but I tend to focus so much on robots that I forget about the other stuff out there. It's a great time to be a kid! (And it's a great time to be an adult with a debit card!)
If you find some interesting science/math/technical kits or products that you think parents and kids might find interesting, I invite you to post a comment and share the info here. Not just for Christmas or Hannakuh or Birthdays...

One piece of advice I've got is to buy your kids stuff they can take apart. Get a cheap pair of binoculars with lenses that can be screwed off, and let the kids see how it takes a convex and a concave lens to make a telescope work. And let them discover that a concave lens by itself makes things look smaller. Only one will help you burn a hole in a leaf. Let them figure out which it is. And if they ask for an explanation, let 'em figure it out on their own. It's the only way they'll really learn.
And head to the dollar store for some toys with LEDs inside. Take 'em apart, see how they work, try to put them back together -- or not. I got some plastic dinosaurs with a nice battery pack/light set inside. Perfect for hacking.

When I was a kid, my mom and dad got me a small LED hand-held game (way before Nintendo Gameboy) that only had red LEDs and was a bit lame, but at the time it was great... after about a month of playing it, I ended up taking it apart (Dad was happy, Mom wasn't) and examining it... some of it made sense... some didn't, but it got me interested in how things work.

I would highly recommend the science kits from Thames & Kosmos (at specialty toy stores and dicoverthis.com, among other places). I have bought my kids the chemistry sets and the fuel cell car. These kits are high quality, but the best thing about them is the manuals. You can just jump into the sets or you can use the extensive manuals for a many weeks science course.

ch-ch-ch- changes.....lololol today is a big deal for me because it's a new beginning. It's the end of my disconnect and not facing reality, that I've been doing for the past 2 years. No more floating around in lala land it's time for me to put on my shit kickers, kick some ass, stop running away and hiding, and get shit DONE!!!
just wondering if any of you are type o fans, and if not you should def check them out they are a great band. i'm a huge type o fan, and would like to meet other fans. so just curious to see how many of you are as well =D
Only we can sit in our chair in the field of awareness. "We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment, We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside This holy reality, this holy experience." "Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind" I know I keep quoting Tool but it just fits so well in what I'm learning,...
So just a little recent history about me. I have suffered with severe anxiety and depression just about all my life. The past 2 years were real bad to the point I just shut down and disconnected. I couldn't take all the stress anymore so I just didn't give a shit. Sometimes I used drugs and alcohol to help numb myself, but mostly just abused my prescription pills. Three weeks ago I had a...
positive attitude, kids are healthy, it's gonna be a good day =D
Protect yourself, only surround yourself with those who make you happy, the first warning sign you see, put them on the outside of your inner circle so that the pattern can't be repeated. Everyone gets hurt, but no one deserves to suffer.
and it's all because of me!!! no one else but me!!! =D Twirling round with this familiar parabole. Spinning, weaving round each new experience. Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing, this chance to be alive and breathing.
But there ain't no bigger bitch than me!!! ;)
We are the greatest thing that will ever happen to us. Believe it. It makes life much easier.
I do believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Every bad and good thing that happens. Every person that comes in and out of your life was put there for a reason to get you to the place you need to be. I have been in a dark place lately, a downward spiral. I thought I was getting better, but then relapsed. But I learned something, I learned that it was because I was depending on...

Vincent and Gabrielle are married, have stable jobs, a healthy son and a harmonious relationship. Yet, after a series of failed attempts at revitalizing their marital routine, Vincent begins a heated affair with another woman and Gabrielle spins into introspection -- while hiding from Vincent that she knows of his infidelity. Distraught at the state of her marriage, Gabrielle wanders in anguish and is eventually drawn towards a random man whom she spots inside a Virgin Megastore. The handsome stranger glances at her while both listen to the same song. And mysteriously, the two of them share a fleeting but intensely intimate moment in the middle of an anonymous crowd. When he leaves the store, Gabrielle is even more vulnerable than before. Concomitantly, and in comedy crisis mode, George and Nathalie argue loud and violently -- the former suffocating in his wife's feminist demands and the latter feeling trapped in a monogamous relationship. Looking for solace, George buys an expensive Mercedes and turns to his old friends, Vincent and Fred. Although all three men keep each other company, even their weekly soccer games and poker nights do not protect them from mid-life anguish. Fred is still single -- and proudly so. He sleeps with a series of spectacular women and plays the role of liberated straight male for his pals. But while Vincent and George struggle, with no success, to understand Fred's sex appeal, they cannot see that Fred also yearns for a change of pace.

Two misfits find love and support in each other's company, in this show-business comedy with a twist. One of them, Robin Turner (Craig Russell), is a male hairdresser and a gifted female impersonator, who tries out his act in local gay nightclubs. His roommate is Liza Connors (Hollis McLaren), an old high-school friend who is now a mumblingly strange pregnant woman, recently released from a mental hospital where she was being treated for schizophrenia. She is determined never to return to the hospital again, and he wants to be a show-business success with his impressions. When Robin loses his job, the two determine to try their luck in New York.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

How can you go green? Quite simply, it starts in your home.
Lowering your home' energy consumption not only saves you money every month and helps aid the environment - it also increases the value of your home. Energy Efficiency Building Performance Standards study concluded that home values increase by $20 per dollar reduced in annual utility costs.
Choosing the ductless mini split system could be a challenging task due to the fact that market currently saturated with choices. Higher quality, dependable, higher efficiency ductless mini split heat pumps on the market are far superior to any other offers.
The ductless mini split heat pump is a new choice for house heating that offers efficient operation at ambient temperatures of 17°F and below without help of an electric backup heater.
The cost of the ductless mini split air conditioners and heat pump equipment appear to be similar to conventional heat pump systems. Installation costs are based on the complexity of installing refrigerant tubing and whether the presented electrical service can handle the new equipment.
Recently, Mitsubishi Electric used energy modeling software to compare the energy efficiency of the INVERTER-driven ductless mini split systems with other types of HVAC systems, applying the climate conditions for several major U.S. cities. The result? Mitsubishi ductless mini split systems were consistently 25% or more efficient than conventional systems.

Competition encourages entrepreneurial spiritBY ANDERS AX
STAFF WRITER | February 04,2013In an effort to spur local food, forestry and farm business development, Strolling of the Heifers and Vermont Technical College have teamed up to host the 2013 Vermont Food/Farm Business Competition.
This year, competitors who develop the most viable business plans and marketing strategies will have the chance to win cash prizes from a pot of $60,000.
So far, over 60 applicants have enrolled in the competition and time still remains to sign up for orientation, which starts Tuesday, for those who want to try their hand at building a business plan.
"It's fun, and the whole goal and purpose of this is to create new business and employ more people in Vermont," said Orly Munzing, Strolling of the Heifers executive director and founder.
The competition offers multiple prizes totaling $60,000 and is split into three categories: new, existing and student.
New businesses refer to those in early development or with less than six months of operation with low revenue. Existing businesses have to show at least six months of revenue that does not surpass $500,000 a year.
The student category allows students enrolled at any Vermont college-level institution to enter.
For new and existing categories, there is a $10,000 first prize, $8,000 second prize, $5,000 third prize and two runner-up $1,500 prizes. For the student categories there is a $4,000 first prize, $2,000 second prize and two $1,000 runner-up prizes.
A three-page business prospectus is due March 8 and judges will draw finalists for each category March 20. Finalists — with assistance from the Vermont Small Business Development Centers and Southeast Vermont Community Action — will then create a detailed business plan due May 22, and on the morning of June 5, presentations will be made at Marlboro College Graduate Center in Brattleboro.
Organizers of the program and former participants agree the competition gives crucial insight into the creation and management of a business from experts in the food business.
"The best exercise of this whole thing is the expert technical support that participants receive in writing a business plan, developing a pitch plan, a script — the whole process in presenting their idea," Munzing said.
In 2011, the owners of Big Picture Farm in Townshend, Louisa Conrad and Lucas Farrell, won top honors in the farm and food competition for their goat milk caramel.
"Our business plan was sort of a mess even after we submitted it," Farrell said during a phone interview. "Everything was a total disaster; submitting ideas and coming up with a financial perspective was foreign to us."
Before they applied to the competition, Farrell and Conrad were selling "sporadically" to five stores throughout New England and at the Brattleboro farmers market. They only had three goats and were losing every fourth batch — Conrad had to hand stir the caramel.
After hearing about the competition through a friend, and realizing that their unique product had earned interest from at least a few business, they decided to enter the competition and ended up taking the $5,000 prize, which bought them a caramel cooker.
"They took this really unformed heap of information and were able to make sense or shine a little bit of light on it and bring some expertise to the situation," Farrell continued.
Now, Big Picture Farm has 25 goats and a 20-acre plot. It sold to over 200 stores last year and is adding new sellers weekly.
Steve Paddock, a contest organizer and director of VTC's Enterprise Center, said former competitors walk away with a much better sense of how to achieve business goals.
"One of the things that this competition does is motivate people and make them get their act together," Paddock said.

*Bit of a misleading title."We are friends, but it's too early to think about that," Machida (19-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC) said prior to Saturday's UFC Fight Night 30 headliner. "I'm just arriving in this class, and I have to keep my focus on this fight."
The ex-light heavyweight champ believes he'll at the very least grab the No. 5 spot in the middleweight division if he's able to beat Mark Munoz (13-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) at Saturday's FOX Sports 2-televised event, which takes place at Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, England. Beyond that, he's not sure what will happen.
"I don't know about the future," Machida said. "That's why I say to everybody, I'm just arriving. It's hard to say about a title shot. Everybody is asking about it, but I prefer not to talk about it."
Silva, of course, is trying to get back the top spot after Chris Weidman knocked him out three months ago. At December's UFC 168 event, the two rematch to see whether the first bout was a fluke.
Machida, who originally was slated to fight Tim Kennedy at UFC Fight Night 31 before being called as an injury replacement, said he has no problem fighting Munoz, with whom he frequently trained four years ago in Southern California. When it comes to fighting Silva, however, he's far more cautious.
Earlier this month, Silva said he would retire before being forced to face Machida. (Machida also previously said he didn't want to fight "The Spider.") But there's now a practical reason why the two wouldn't fight, according to Machida.
"I don't know how long he's going to fight," he said. "That's why I don't think about that."
Machida said he likely would have dropped to 185 pounds whether or not he'd lost a close decision to Phil Davis at UFC 163. He said Silva's defeat to Weidman had nothing to do with his decision to change weight classes.
"I just dropped down because I was going to fight against (Jon) Jones, and that couldn't happen," Machida told MMAjunkie.com. "The UFC gave me an opportunity to fight at 185. I want to stay active."
Despite Machida earning No. 1 contender status on two separate occasions, first by knocking out Ryan Bader and then by outpointing Dan Henderson, light-heavyweight champ Jones nixed a rematch with "The Dragon." Rather than wait for Jones to change his mind, Machida chose to fight, and he lost to Davis.
Now, he's taking the opportunity given to him by the UFC. Although it comes attached to a professional relationship, he plans to make the best of the situation.
"I have no problem with me and him," Machida said. "Mark Munoz is a great guy. We are friends, but we are professionals, too. I think this fight can show the world that friends can fight each other, but with a lot of respect, and (they) will put a great performance on. It's not a problem."

Apple could release newly designed Mac this year
Apple could be adding an entirely new product to its Mac lineup that is unlike anything the company currently has on sale.
According to a post on Japanese website macotakara.jp, the Cupertino company plans something "absolutely different from current products". Macotakara did recently get things right with the iPad 2 launch in March, so the rumours could be well founded.
The new product will be given a different name to anything else in Apple's lineup, although what exactly this will be remains to be seen.
No specs, operating system or any other juicy product details to go on unfortunately. It could be entirely possible that Apple is working on some sort of device running on a combination of OS X and iOS, especially given the iDevice-like features found on Lion.
Given the MacBook has now taken leave to be replaced by the new Air as Apple's entry model laptop, the new device could just as easily be a new affordable Mac. It may also materialise in the form of the rumoured ultra-thin MacBook Pro.
Like the idea of a new OS X and iOS powered Mac?
