Soybeans were domesticated in China more than 3 000 years ago. After being introduced in the United States during the 18th century, they developed into an important cash crop worldwide due to their high nutritional and health value. However, soybeans have caused a near food crisis in their homeland, China, where owing to insufficient supply the country spends tens of billions of US dollars each year importing them, accounting for more than half of total global soybean exports. In order to encourage further studies and research into soybeans, local scientists have launched a large-scale soybean genomic project, which focuses on the biodiversity of wild soybeans and has uncovered useful genomic information about the plant.
To enable the public to learn more about the research and breeding of soybeans, Hong Kong Science Museum's Science News Corner presents a new exhibition, "Soybean Homecoming", which runs from tomorrow (April 13) to July 31. The exhibition introduces the findings of Professor Lam Hon-ming, professor of the School of Life Sciences, Faculty of Science of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and his project team from the Center for Soybean Research at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
At present, China's annual soybean crop accounts for less than 10 per cent of global production, while the United States, Brazil and Argentina together account for over 80 per cent. China has become the world's largest importer of soybeans.
However, China faces challenges in its soybean production. With a population close to 1.3 billion, per capita arable land and fresh water resources in China are far below the world's average and thus it is hard to expand the acreage devoted to soybeans. Experts are consequently looking to use advanced scientific research and growth technology to increase crop production levels and quality.
China has a rich resource of wild soybeans, but the country's soybean farmers and breeders have focused mainly on selecting cultivars that offer maximum productivity. As a result, the genetic diversity of China's cultivated soybeans has become very limited and they may have lost their ability to adapt to adverse environments.
To foster the study and breeding of soybeans in China, Professor Lam Hon-ming's team are leading a joint soybean genomic project along with researchers from Shenzhen to apply advanced deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing technology to reveal the biodiversity of wild soybean genomes and unlock the essential genomic data contained in soybeans. The ultimate goal is to strengthen both research and sustainable cultivation of soybeans in China. The exhibition introduces visitors to the current achievements of this study project.
The exhibition opened today (April 12). Officiating at the opening ceremony were the Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Professor Cheung Mui-ching; Professor Lam Hon-ming; Vice-President for Administration and Business of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Expert Advisor of Hong Kong Science Museum, Professor Wong Yuk-shan; and acting Chief Curator of the Hong Kong Science Museum, Ms Karen Sit.
The Hong Kong Science Museum is located at 2 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East. It is open from 10am to 7pm on weekdays, and from 10am to 9pm on weekends and public holidays. It is closed on Thursdays (except public holidays). Admission is $25 with half-price concessions for full-time students, people with disabilities and senior citizens aged 60 or above. Admission is free on Wednesdays.
For details of the exhibition and related programmes, visit the webpage on the Science Museum's website at www.hk.science.museum/en_US/web/scm/se/snc.html. For enquiries, please call 2732 3232.

Latin Roots: The Caribbean Coast Of Colombia
By editor
Originally published on Thu September 26, 2013 10:34 am
In this edition of Latin Roots, we look at the music of Colombia's Caribbean coast. Our guest, Beat Latino host Catalina Maria Johnson, selected some older music from Petrona Martinez and her family, as well as a more modern example from Lido Pimienta, who is part of the large Colombian population based in Toronto. Pimienta uses traditional elements in her music, yet records on her laptop.
Johnson also created a Spotify playlist for those who'd like to explore the music further.
Latin Roots on World Cafe is made possible by a grant from The Wyncote Foundation.

|John Stuart Mill 1806-1873
|Manuscript, 210 leaves, 1861, 1869-70
|One of the most versatile British thinkers of the nineteenth century, Mill was an incisive critic of liberalism as well as its greatest exponent. His Autobiography, published the year of his death, has eclipsed his political and economic studies, such as the Essay on Liberty and Utilitarianism. According to a note written by Mill's step-daughter Helen Taylor on this manuscript, the work was "to be published without alterations or omissions, within one year of my death." In fact, it was published from a hastily made copy, and it was not until 1924, that an edition, based on this manuscript, considered more reliable since it is in Mill's own hand, was first published by the Columbia University Press. The 1861 portion of the manuscript represents a heavily revised version of an early draft done in 1851; the last forty-eight leaves are the only draft of all but one small portion of the rest of the Autobiography.

Project Details
Shadowboxx responds to a desire to facilitate an intimate understanding of this special place and explores the tradition of gathering around a fire. Tucked between a thicket of trees and a rising bank, the house sits in a natural clearing created by the strong winds that force back the trees from the rocky bank. The building purposely confuses the traditional boundaries between a built structure and its surroundings. Its masses are modeled by winds off the water, exterior cladding is allowed to weather and rust, and shifting doors, shutters, walls and roofs constantly modulate the threshold between inside and outside.
Inside the home, a gallery runs the length of the house with rooms spilling off of it. Two 15' by 10' steel clad doors slide open to reveal the main living space, named the cloud room for its ever-changing atmospherics. A glass-walled bunkroom, it contains six custom-designed rolling platforms that serve both as sofas and beds and enable the room to morph and accommodate different functions. Exterior awning shutters facing the water can be closed for protection from the elements or for security when the owner is away.
A guest room sits at one end of the house, and the bathhouse at the other. The bathhouse is topped by a 16×20' roof that opens the room like a cigar box at the push of a button. Materials with a strong tactility are used throughout the house, including rammed earth floors, reclaimed oak floorplanks, unpainted gypsum board and steel walls, corrugated steel siding and roofing, and reclaimed scaffolding planks for the ceiling.

SALINA, Kan. – The Dakota Wesleyan University men's basketball team followed up its upset of No. 8 Doane College Saturday with a nonconference win Monday night. The Tigers beat Kansas Wesleyan University 85-71 in Salina, Kan.
Kris Menning scored the first five points of the game for Dakota Wesleyan (7-7) to spark a 12-2 run for the Tigers. Dakota Wesleyan maintained a double-digit lead throughout much of the first half, and went up by 14, 33-19, with 5:08 left in the half on a jumper by Danny Maman. The Tigers led 40-33 at halftime.
The Coyotes cut the gap to five to start the second half, but a three by Menning made it a 10-point game, 47-37, with 16:40 to play. Back-to-back baskets by Aireus Stephenson made it a 16-point game, 56-40, with 14:28 to play, and a three by Jade Miller a few minutes later put DWU up 17.
From there, KWU went on a 19-7 run to cut the gap to five, 66-61, with 6:38 left to play, and the Coyotes hung around, keeping the Tigers' lead to single digits. But Maman hit a three with 4:18 to play to put DWU up 77-63, and he hit another three a minute later to push the lead back to 14, 81-67, after another short KWU run, to help DWU hold on for the win.
Jalen Voss recorded his ninth double-double of the season to lead the Tigers. He scored 21 points and pulled down 14 rebounds. Maman finished with 15 points, including three 3-pointers, Stephenson had 12 points and Mike Lee finished with 10 points. Luke Bamberg added seven points and 10 rebounds and Menning had eight points. DWU shot 44 percent from the field, went 20-for-23 form the line and had 48 rebounds and 11 turnovers.
Canon Fields paced KWU with 23 points and eight rebounds and Dylan Hidalgo added 10 points. The Coyotes shot 41.2 percent from the field, went 11-for-13 from the line and had 29 rebounds and seven turnovers.
Dakota Wesleyan is off until Dec. 28 when it travels to San Diego, Calif., to take on San Diego Christian College. The Tigers play California Baptist University on Saturday, Dec. 29.

Newly Elected Officials Training
Held Every 4 Years Following Municipal Elections
Learning the Tools of Success City and town elected officials truly serve on the front lines of our American democracy. It can be a challenging responsibility, particularly for those recently elected. Yet with the proper preparation and training, municipal officials can assume responsibilities of office, smoothly and effectively.
Every four years, IACT conducts Newly Elected Officials Training to provide basic information and tools for city and town officials, helping them manage their first weeks in office and build a foundation for a successful term. IACT's 2011-2012 Newly Elected Officials Training assisted city and town officials. The 2015-2016 program, promises to be bigger and better, and will benefit both municipal government rookies and veterans alike.
There are three phases to the training program. Beginning with a day-long workshop that will be offered in five locations across the state, Regional Training will focus on the first weeks in office, including what to expect a the first council meeting. Regional Training will be followed by Mayors School, an in-depth conference offered specifically for mayors. The Clerk Treasurers Workshop will be offered in conjunction with the IACT Boot Camp, which provides basic training for municipal officials. The final component of the program is the Indiana Elected Municipal Officials Handbook, recognized as an authoritative guide to practical city and town government procedures.
Phase 1: Basic Survival Skills
IACT Regional Training
IACT Regional Training sessions are held soon after municipal elections. We want to give you some of the critical tools that you will need during transition, and when you hit the ground running on day-one. These training sessions are staffed by veteran municipal officials, IACT staff and leading municipal experts.
Phase 2: Classroom Instruction
IACT Mayors School
This robust agenda will arm Indiana's mayors with the knowledge and confidence to meet the challenges that come with a new term in office. The intensive IACT Mayors School schedule, tailored to mayors of all sized communities, provides both detailed instruction and roundtable style interaction. Mayors School also allows newly elected mayors to meet and quickly begin establishing relationships with one another and the many veteran mayors who will be in attendance.
IACT Clerk-Treasurers Workshop
A "called meeting" by the Indiana State Board of Accounts, this critical gathering of elected municipal fiscal officers will immediately precede IACT's intensive two-day Boot Camp for Newly Elected Officials.
Phase 3: The Final Drill
IACT Boot Camp for Newly Elected Officials
Just like the real thing, the IACT Boot Camp is an intense, no-holds-barred offering of the tools you will need to have for a successful first year in office.
A look into the basic operations of government, detailed overviews of municipal finance and budgeting, ethics, purchasing and much more will be covered by our respected panelists of veteran officials and experts. Boot Camp content will be relevant for communities of all sizes and elected officials of all skill and experience levels with greatest emphasis given to those new to municipal government.
Learn more about IACT and begin forging partnerships that will benefit you and the citizens you serve.
Indiana Elected Municipal Officials Handbook
The Indian
a Elected Municipal Officials Handbook is a reference guide, published by IACT, for city and town officials. The handbook reviews the structure and op
erations of city and town government, applicable statutes, and sources of state and federal programs. Each member municipality will be allotted two complimentary copies of the handbook and additional copies will be available for purchase. Each municipal official registered for Boot Camp will receive one of these coveted Handbooks.

PERFUMES, paints and cosmetics could be manufactured without producing so much toxic waste.
Before petroleum hydrocarbons can be turned into useful household chemicals they have to be oxidised to make them reactive enough to receive the chemical groups responsible for their properties - such as colour and stickiness for paint.
The reactions for achieving this often rely on heavy-metal oxidants such as manganese or chromium compounds, and these create toxic waste that usually ends up in landfill sites.
Now Graham Hutchings and colleagues at Cardiff University, UK, have oxidised liquid cyclo-octene, an alkene used in perfume production, using a catalyst made from gold nanoparticles. When they added the catalyst, some 95 per cent of the alkene reacted with oxygen in the air to form the required reactive intermediate for making perfumes and cosmetics (Nature, vol 437, p 1132).

too eggy :(
don't get me wrong, i love me some eggs. but, like most good things, only in moderation.
tonight i tried my hand at making a strata for the first time (i accidentally bought an extra loaf of bread, thought i'd branch out and try something new). i used: 6 slices of bread, one big onion, a couple handfuls of spinach, 3 portobello caps, half a bag of fake meat crumbles, 2 cups of milk and 8 eggs (recipes i'd looked at prior to my experiment used 9-12, so i thought 8 would be ok). i seasoned it thoroughly (thyme, oregano, garlic, red pepper, s&p), covered it with real parmesan (not the flavorless sawdust kind), and when it came out, all i could taste was EGG.
do i add more things? use less eggs? if i do that, will it all fall apart? will it be worth it to avoid feeling like im just having scrambled eggs for dinner?

HTC One Max leaks again, shows its fingerprint scanner
The Taiwanese site ePrice has got hold of a live image of the HTC One Max posing for a family photo HTC One Mini and HTC One. The said shot reveals an HTC One Max feature that we haven't heard of so far - a fingerprint scanner.
Last week, evleaks outed an allegedly official render of the HTC One Max, which doesn't have a fingerprint reader on its back.
This makes us think that the cool feature might just be available for select regions. Judging from the photo, the HTC One Max appears to have 3 dock connectors, which suggest that it will be getting such an accessory at launch.
The HTC One Max is rumored to come with a 5.9" 1080p display, Snapdragon 800 chipset and 64GB of built-in memory. Robert Downey Jr. is already working hard to promote a mysterious device in HTCs new ad campaign 'Heres To Change' that's most probably the One Max itself.
HTC is expected to lift the curtains of the One Max in September. According to the latest rumors, we should expect the phone to hit store shelves in October.
HTC One Max leaks again, shows its fingerprint scanner - reader comments

I know this isn't the production model so I won't criticize the looks of the fingerprint scanner yet. Hopefully they will tint the glass or find some other way of hiding it. I also don't care much about the fingerprint scanner but other functionality...

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »
FedEx Corporation
Foreign Merchandise Import Violations
Date: 01/27/1995 (Date of Settlement Agreement)
Misconduct Type: Import/Export
Enforcement Agency: Homeland Security
Contracting Party: None
Court Type: Civil
Amount: $1,100,000

Synopsis: Federal Express Corporation paid $1.1 million to settle allegations it failed to pay $239,000 in duties on 1,300 shipments of foreign merchandise that passed through its Memphis, Tennessee, hub from January 1987 through January 1989. The merchandise included textiles, jewelry, and electronic, medical, watch and motor vehicle parts. The government also alleged FedEx processed the shipments without receiving the required clearance from the U.S. Customs Service.

With the beginning of the spring semester comes start of lacrosse. Lacrosse has seven returning players, and six new players who will make their start this season. Many of these newer players have little to no experience with the sport, but are willing to learn and contribute as much as they can to the team.
Despite a month-long wait until their first game, pre-season practices began shortly after the end of winter break.
Phoenix Lacrosse welcomes new head coach
In addition to its players, the team welcomed a new Head Coach, Beth Weixel, who worked as Assistant Coach during the 2011 season. Stepping in as Assistant Coach is Wilson and lacrosse alumni, Nikola Grafnetterova '10.
While all involved are excited for the upcoming season, they are also striving to meet the new challenges it brings. Winter sports have prevented many of the team's members from participating in practices, and with only five to seven people consistently on the field at a time, unfamiliar drills and dynamics are hard to learn. Also problematic are the numbers on the roster. With twelve players on the field at a time, the team has just enough people to pull though the season.
Making it work
While this might be a troublesome notion to some, team co-captain, Alyssa Bernard '12, isn't concerned.
"At practice, I have already seen an improvement in everyone's stick skills, and we have been working hard on our conditioning...We still have a few more weeks of practice before our first game, but I believe that the 2012 lacrosse team is going to be a very strong and promising team," said Bernard.
"Based on our performance in practices so far, I think the Wilson College lacrosse team has a good season in its future," says Megan Longstreet '13. "There are a lot of new players on the team, myself included, who have put in a lot of time and effort into learning this sport and improving our skills. Our team captains, Jami DeVanie '12 and Alyssa Bernard, are very supportive and push the team to work hard for each other. The new head coach, Beth
Weixel is more than willing to put in the time to work with all of the players, no matter their skill level. I am excited to see what the team can accomplish this season," added Longstreet.
Lacrosse has twelve games total this season, with the first taking place on March 20. The season home opener is scheduled for March 23 at 4:00pm at Kris's Meadow.

Zimbabwe is officially out of the Big Brother contest after the remaining two housemates Maneta and Roki were chucked out of Upville for fighting.
The two compatriots had argued verbally for the entire day, before Maneta poured a drink in Roki's face.
He retaliated and they continued pouring water on each other before Maneta went a step further and poured cleaning fluid in Roki's face. Roki was quickly held back after slapping Maneta and then rushed to sink to wash the fluid which was stinging his eyes.
Big Brother told them to pack up and go after a long lecture on contravening the rules.
The two had been arguing since the second day they met in the house and are the second pair to be ejected from Upville for violence.
Two weeks ago, Sierra Leone model Zainab and Ghanaian comedian DKB were told to pack up and leave; DKB for slapping the lady and Zainab for provoking the action.
In a statement, Big Brother Stargame rules stipulate that "any housemate committing any act of physical violence is subject to immediate expulsion from the series". The 'anti-violence' rule was expanded this year to include "any housemate whose provocative behavior contributed substantially to creating a hostile and aggressive environment in which violence is the result".
Roki and Maneta are expected to be provided with psychological and medical treatment and counseling to assist them with anger management.
Their exit signals an end of the race for Zimbabwe, which ironically was one of the victors in last year's season of Big Brother.

MR SPOCK is dying. Fortunately for the crew of the USS Enterprise, the Spock in question is not the real one, but an evil mirror-image version created in a freak transporter malfunction. This Spock's back-to-front body can digest only right-handed amino acids; meanwhile, like all organic matter, the food around him is made of left-handed amino acids. He is starving in the midst of plenty.
This plot line from the 1970 novel Spock Must Die! - the first literary spin-off from the Star Trek TV series - highlights one of life's fundamental mysteries. Why does biology use only one of two mirror-image forms in which most complex molecules can occur? The latest pop at an answer weaves astrophysics, particle physics and biochemistry into a startling proposal: that the stellar explosions known as supernovae are to blame.
"It is an intriguing idea," says Daniel Glavin, an astrobiologist ...

Hi everyone
I want to split one morph (left side and right side) after building one for Genesis thighs and hip (it's a morph after posing the figure, with the legs bent). The loading with Morph Pro Loader is ok, but i can't find how to split the morph for the hip for the left side and the right side.
With Poser it's just by right clicking the hip morph name and choosing "split morph".
But in DS4 ?
Thx for your answers.

Journal for the Evangelical Study of the Old Testament (JESOT) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the academic and evangelical study of the Old Testament. The journal seeks to fill a need in academia by providing a venue for high-level scholarship on the Old Testament from an evangelical standpoint. The journal is not affiliated with any particular academic institution, and with an international editorial board, online format, and multi-language submissions, JESOT cultivates and promotes Old Testament scholarship in the evangelical global community. The journal differs from many evangelical journals in that it seeks to publish current academic research in the areas of ancient Near Eastern backgrounds, Dead Sea Scrolls, Rabbinics, Linguistics, Septuagint, Research Methodology, Literary Analysis, Exegesis, Text Criticism, and Theology as they pertain only to the Old Testament.

Visa, Mastercard® and American Express®
What are Visa, Mastercard® and American Express®?
Not many people know the difference between the three major payment systems in the credit card industry. Compare credit cards with different payment systems may help you decide on the right credit card for you. American Express®, or AMEX as it is more often known in Europe, Visa and MasterCard® all run payment systems. Lenders like MBNA use these payment systems in order to facilitate the ability to make purchases using credit cards. When you enter into a credit agreement or pay your credit card bill it is your credit card issuer, MBNA, that provides these services rather than Visa or MasterCard®. Visa or MasterCard® do not issue credit cards directly to consumers. As well as running a payment system, American Express® is also a lender issuing credit cards that use the American Express® payment system.
Credit card tip
Explore all the added extras when choosing a credit card—there's a wide range of options available including fraud protection, reward programs and even charitable contributions.
Explanation of differences
There is very little difference between the Visa and MasterCard® payment systems. They are both widely accepted in over 20 million cash machines and 150 countries worldwide and it is rare to find a location that will accept one and not the other. Visa and MasterCard® have special offers with selected partners which you can take advantage of if you have a credit card with the appropriate symbol. You can compare the range of credit cards offered by MBNA.
American Express®, or AMEX has much more marked differences compared to Visa and MasterCard®. Like Visa and MasterCard® it is a payment system but they also issue and operate cards directly to consumers. MBNA partners with American Express® to offer a number of credit cards that use the American Express® payment system.

3 Organic Search Benefits Of PPC
XML, LSI, LSA, HTAccess: As a competitive SEO theres no shortage of acronyms to keep up with. But if youre truly committed to becoming the best search-engine marketer you can be, I think one of the most important ones is: PPC.
A working understanding of pay-per click marketing is one of the easiest ways to spike your resume and stand out from the SEO-"only" crowd.
Not only does PPC experience make for a far more well-rounded internet marketer, but youll also be able to quickly apply paid marketing principles to your organic SEO. To name but three:
- Improve click-through rates for organic results
- Identify search phrases with the most profit potential
- Use PPC data for content development
Improve Click Through Rates for Organic Search
Copy influences click-through rates in the SERPs. After you've improved a PPC ad's click-through rate by 2% for a high-value keyword because of a tweak like Product Ships in 24 Hours instead of Free Shipping, you'll experience a shift in mindset you'll be able to apply directly to crafting more relevant title tags and meta descriptions.
If there's one principle an experienced PPC manager understands, it's the different motivations behind every ad group in a campaign. Every search, every market will require a unique set of marketing messages that belong right along with your big list of keywords.
Identify Potential Profit
Not all keywords are created equal. Basic PPC knowledge can help SEOs better identify which keywords are delivering the best return per dollar spent.
One simple way to identify whether or not a keyword is performing is by conducting a search in Google to see if ads are being displayed for the query in question. If there are a lot of advertisers, it's there might be money to be made with that search phrase.
The next step in this process is to look at how many ads are targeting the exact key phrase you entered in an ad headline. The more exact matches to the search you find in the headline, the more likely PPC managers are targeting that keyword and aren't just displaying for a broad match result.
Use PPC Data for Content Development
This is probably one of the best benefits of understanding PPC: you get a feel for each keyword for the volume and type of traffic, and the return that can be expected it.
This information can be solid gold when creating a content development plan since you already know the volume of traffic and an estimate of how well it will convert when you rank for it. (Use this automated Excel setup to to estimate traffic for number one positions)
How do you use your PPC experience?
10 Responses to "3 Organic Search Benefits Of PPC"
Another benefit of PPC is focusing on areas where your organic search presence is weak. Visitors clicking to your site on those ads will return to your site later on through searches involving your brand name… assuming that you provide a high-quality experience. See http://www.slideshare.net/jcolman/total-search-marketing-optimization-smx-advanced-2010seattle for more information and test results.
That's a pretty slick presentation Jonathon. I like it.
[…] 3 Organic Search Benefits Of PPC (searchenginepeople.com) Share and Enjoy: […]
Love this post. I've told a few of my clients that PPC combined with website analysis may open up the possibilities for new products and services.
And you're absolutely right in terms of it being a great tool for SEO. Why waste weeks and effort on keywords that don't bring the results that you want? Test everything on PPC first, then spend big on SEO.
PPC is still relatively cheap, SEO campaigns can be expensive so it's important to get it right the first time.
Good article.
There's a huge difference. Studies show that after people enter their search results their main focus is front and center, then they scan down, lastly they scan to the right.
What's important is to have eye catching text, with a clear call to action, in the meta description. That way when the user comes across your web page on the SERP they are more likely to click.
Going a bit further, a strong meta description (that is written more like ad copy) can actually attract more clicks than the #1 ranking with a weak meta description. The web page will still need to be above the fold though.
So what better way to test ad copy for your meta description?
Thanks for the mention Brett.
I agree there are definitely synergies between PPC and SEO knowledge.
I wish it were as easy to split test headlines and descriptions with our organic listings as it is with PPC.
[…] 3 Organic Search Benefits Of PPC (searchenginepeople.com) […]
I definitely agree with the first two benefits you mentioned, but the third one has a big pitfall: the traffic you estimate for one or two keyword phrases may be extremely exaggarated if you use a broad match in your adwords campaign. So estimating according to exact match is a necessicty when short phrases are considered.

Selective Mutism is a childhood anxiety disorder. Children with selective mutism are unable to speak in some social situations (school) although they speak normally in other settings (home).
Symptoms in children with selective mutism may be first noticed when they start school, but many children demonstrate early signs of anxiety disorders.
It is important that the rehab therapist works together with a psychologist or psychiatrist who will evaluate your child for an anxiety disorder.
Your child may be evaluated by a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). The SLP will talk with you about your child's medical history as well as your current concerns. The SLP will assess your child's speaking skills. A taped speaking sample brought from home may be necessary. The SLP will also assess your child's non-verbal communication, social, and receptive and expressive language skills.
Your child may also be evaluated by an Occupational Therapist (OT) to look for sensory processing dysfunction.
The SLP and OT will work together with you and your child to set-up a treatment program.
Speech therapy treatment will include activities to; reduce anxiety, learn coping strategies, learn nonverbal and verbal social communication skills, and a transfer of the above skills to common social settings.
You and your child's occupational therapist will develop a sensory treatment plan. Together you will work towards your child's goals with therapy, parent education, and home activities. Therapy will be provided in a sensory-rich play environment with activities that are motivating and meaningful to your child

Unlike an apprenticeship or vocational trainings those enrolled in the modern university are typically required to complete a series of general education courses. Some universities call these "breadth requirements" as they focus more on a breadth of knowledge, than depth of knowledge that typically accompanies higher level courses. The central purpose of general education is to provide a broad knowledge and balanced view of the world in which we live. In medieval times, breadth was comprised of
The trivium focused broadly on the art of thinking and the expression of thought, whereas the quadrivium, as outlined in Plato's The Republic, focused on space and time, and the quantity, magnitude, proportion, structure and motion of bodies, or in the case of music, sound. The trivium was considered preparatory course work for the more difficult quadrivium, but both were intended to assist in the development of critical thinkers. As a student of the modern university, that's you! And breadth requirements even extend to students at polytechnic universities where depth and application of knowledge are a particularly distinguishing characteristic.
Interesting footnote: In 1775, Provost William Smith of the University of Pennsylvania suggested that a "Seal of the Corporation" be developed to identify the University, and any items originating from it. With Benjamin Franklin serving as Chairman of the Board, the design of this seal included the seven subjects of the trivium and quadrivium as books stacked upon one another.
The Honors College provides an enriching and intellectually stimulating environment for cohorts of high achieving and motivated students. The College enriches their academic experience through individual advising and mentoring to support personal and intellectual development and successful program completion.

Adding a minor can enhance your overall educational experience. A minor can either complement your major program of study in preparing for a specific career, or simply satisfy some intellectual curiousity or creative interest you might have. To view the list of approved minor programs go to the Catalog and type, "APPROVED MINOR PROGRAMS" in the search box.
Along with your academic department, the Career Center is an excellent place to find internship opportunities. If you are interested in finding internships posted by your department, simply go to the Cal Poly Pomona homepage and type "Internships" in the search box.
Your department can serve as a great resource for you in finding open research opportunities. Some of these are available on campus, while other opportunities are off-campus, in another state, or even in another country. Some of these also include a research stipend. Whether you are a graduate or undergraduate student, see your advisor and ask where you might find open research opportunities. To get started in your search, here are three programs you might want to browse. Let us know if you learn of other programs by completing the feedback link at the bottom of this page.
Whether you enter the university as a Freshman or Transfer, some assurance that requirements can be met within a specific period of time is often a top priority when making a decision about where to attend. The Cal Poly Pomona Two and Four-Year Graduation Pledge Programs are designed to guarantee that requirements can be satisfied within two or four years.

As a gay man living in the US, John has seen every kind of AIDS awareness campaign out there. He is intelligent and well informed, yet sometimes he has unsafe sex. He never plans to, but he does not always have a condom handy and occasionally, on the spur of the moment, decides not to use one.
Such behaviour is not that unusual among gay men, but unlike most, John (not his real name) isn't leaving himself totally exposed. That is because his doctor is willing to do something most would not countenance - prescribe John a medicine that could lower his risk of catching HIV.
This strategy is called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, and John gets it from Marcus Conant, a doctor with a long history of standing up for gay rights. PrEP has yet to be proven in clinical trials, and Conant will only prescribe it ...

The large-scale prints of Jean Luc Mylayne featuring the landscape and avian inhabitants of Fort Davis, Texas, now on view at Parrish Art Museum, are part of the French photographer's long-term project to capture or illustrate different notions of time.
Time is quite an abstract and transient notion to display in a still photograph, but Parrish Art Museum's director and the show's curator, Terrie Sultan explains, "The over-arching idea of everything in his work is the Greek notion of time. In Greek there are three words for time and they represent immediacy, duration, and chronology. He tries to manifest this in an image. In fact his process of taking the picture represents all aspects."
Sultan explains that Mylayne isn't a documentary nature photographer taking pictures with a telephoto lens. Instead he spent over four years taking photos of blue hued birds with an 8" x 10" large format camera against Texas' enormous azure sky. The process meant it took a very long time for Mylayne to capture an image of an instant that will hopefully endure as an archival print for yet another long period of time.
Part of Mylayne's philosophy is to create only one print of each image.
"To him each photograph is like a painting. The image is not cropped and not digitally manipulated in anyway," say Sultan. "He sits and waits for the image out in nature."
Sultan became familiar with Mylayne's work when she was director of the Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston. A colleague told her about Mylayne's work in Fort Davis near Marfa, Texas a town associated with art and artists in the area — although Mylayne himself isn't a part of the arty crowd there. He is fully focused on his work and philosophy, and tends to keep himself out of that particular world.
Instead, he specifically chose Fort Davis because it was the migratory crossing point of the eastern, western, and mountain blue bird. However he also discovered it was the most common historical route for human migration in the area as well. The area was a crossing point for Native Americans, early explorers, Mexicans, and colonial settlers.
Sultan, who feels it is her job to discover artists that the general public might not yet be aware of, became interested in his philosophical perspective not only on time but also on the color blue.
"He has a long standing personal project to capture various blues especially the blue of the sky and birds. It's a global project and his life's work," she explains.
Sultan relates that Mylayne wanted to capture the changing color of the sky partially as a reaction to an illustration of how environmental pollution impacts our natural surroundings.
Sultan brought the exhibit, Mylayne's first American solo show, to the Parrish because she thought his process clearly resembled Eastern Long Island's long standing En Plein Air tradition of sitting in nature to capture an image. The process is one of building a relationship to surroundings not just creating a representation of them.
Mylayne has wrapped up the Fort Davis portion of his project and is now exploring the possibility of photographing blue birds and sky in the Philippines or Papua,s New Guinea, but, Sultan explains, both locations are quite challenging so he is just in the process of working out how to actually make it happen. In the meantime, approximately 23 of Jean Luc Mylayne's large photographic prints will hang at the Parrish Art Museum from June 28 through September 20. A preview of the exhibit takes place at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 27 followed by a public talk and illustrated lecture by Terrie Sultan and a Q&A with Mylayne. A reception will follow at 7 p.m. Admission is $7 (free for members). The Parrish Art Museum is located at 25 Job's Lane, Southampton. Call 283-2118 for more details.

'Breaking Bad' sneak peek: Walt's double-edged adviceAdd to Favorites | Breaking Bad
Even when he's giving good advice, Walter White can manage to be less than honest with himself.
In this exclusive first look at Sunday's (Sept. 4) "Breaking Bad" episode, "Hermanos," Walt ( Bryan Cranston) is in for his regular cancer scan when he meets a nervous, more recently diagnosed fellow patient. The guy tells a sob story about how the cancer has altered his life's plans, and Walt scoffs.
"Never give up control. Live life on your own terms," he says. "... One of these times -- hell, maybe even today -- I'm going to hear some bad news. But until then, who's in charge? Me. That's how I live my life."
As far as the other patient knows, that's a pretty good pep talk. But we know that Walt's world has been spinning out of control for most of this season, so his words come across more as an attempt to convince himself of what he says than to cheer up another person. It's a great scene, with the usual excellent work from Cranston.
"Breaking Bad" airs at 10 p.m. ET Sunday on AMC. For more, follow the show on Facebook and Twitter.

It's Hallowe'en, a time for witches and goblins, and the day on which Stephen Harper's Conservatives begin their National Convention in Calgary.
Mike Duffy won't be there. Neither will Pamela Wallin or Patrick Brazeau. At least not in person. But their ghosts will no doubt haunt the proceedings. Once upon a time, all three were hailed as national celebrities, lured by Mr. Harper's "brilliant leadership" to enter the world of politics, and hand-picked by him to join the Senate.
Now, he reviles them at every turn -- a profound criticism of his own poor judgment in appointing these people in the first place. Worse still, the stench of cover-up hangs in the air. Mr. Harper and his entourage twist and turn with constantly changing stories about that secret payment of $90,000 that Duffy received from former PMO Chief-of-Staff, Nigel Wright.
Contradictions abound. Mr. Harper first said Wright acted all alone. But subsequent revelations show that more than a dozen senior Conservatives were intimately involved, including several lawyers, in facilitating the payment and then hiding it. Mr. Harper first said no documentation existed. But page-after-page of incriminating paperwork is dribbling out. Mr. Harper first said Wright was an honourable man who made a mistake and resigned. But now he's portrayed as a serious evil-doer that Mr. Harper had to fire.
The Prime Minister says he ordered Duffy to repay his wrongful expenses on February 13th. But then he wants us to believe that, for three full months, he was never told about how his order was being executed. Nor did he ever ask. He claims he was surprised on May 15th to learn that Wright had paid Duffy's debts in a complex deal that pre-empted a forensic audit by Deloitte and whitewashed a Senate report. As part of it all, Duffy claims he was counselled by the PMO to lie about the source of his funds.
The whole thing is a huge unsavoury mess. And getting messier, with no respectable answers coming from the Harper government. None of the players is credible. But they do have one thing in common -- they were all appointed or hired by Stephen Harper. And they all ran amuck!
So it's probably appropriate for the Harper gang to gather on Hallowe'en.
They will also be "celebrating" another dubious occasion. It was on Hallowe'en in 2006 that Stephen Harper broke his explicit commitment to savers and investors that he would never, ever impose a tax on Income Trusts. That "promise" was turned into a lie by the implementation of a new Conservative tax-on-trusts at the fatal rate of 31.5 per cent.
Mr. Harper's betrayal slashed the savings accounts of some two million ordinary Canadians by about $25 billion.
Happy Hallowe'en!
Ralph Goodale's Report is a commentary by the Member of Parliament for Wascana.

Searching for Old Bridges in Central Illinois
View Single Post
Studly Adventurer
Joined: Dec 2010

Oddometer: 742
Rhino, to respectfully add because this bridge has been viewed with a little more respect than most of the old ones. Due to your influence, an overnight motorcycle / camping trip with my 15 year old wound up with an early morning visit to the Lyndon, IL bridge. I am adding because it seems to have a different fate from many old bridges. The town rescued it from demolition in 1995 and sells plaques for the foundation - you can "sponsor" a plank for $75. Just south of I88, I think it is north of your area.
The bridge inexplicably connects the town to gravel roads and cornfields. Built in 1894, it is approximately 600 feet long. It is a Pratt Truss that you have photographed so well in other examples, so I'll just add two photos that set this apart from the others I have found.
The town built a park around it. We met a man on his morning bicycle ride. He said it still gets used by walkers and bikes. The park gets used for parties and cook outs:
Most planks were memorials, sponsorships, and other things. This was my favorite - so sweet....
Gotta tell you, Rhino, this is not only an excellent "treasure hunt" type activity to add to rides. There are a lot of emotions attached to walking an old and noble or sad and neglected structure that is abandoned. The design and workmanship of these old bridges is pretty amazing. Thanks for the rides.

Why do I keep thinking I'm gonna wind up in a love / hate relationship with a Guzzi?

Last week SWA flight attendants signed an agreement which allows the carrier to operate over water flights. So many in the press presumed the announcement meant Southwest was closing in on announcing Hawaii service.
Southwest has already begun taking delivery of larger Boeing 737-800′s, which were acquired in part with the thought of serving Hawaii and other distant destinations. These new planes are capable of reaching Hawaii from west coast cities, but cannot go further inland without removing weight (such as passengers).
So is it indeed true Southwest is closer to announcing Hawaii service? Here are some of the issues:
Hawaii Airline Competition is Fierce
Since Southwest first announced their intention to serve Hawaii at some point in the future, others carriers moved in. Alaska Air, joined by bellwether Hawaiian Air and latecomer Allegiant Air have taken up available positions. Southwest's entry into these limited west coast markets will only serve to further reduce financial yields for all carriers. None of these companies can afford to endure such pressure in the long run.
Even without Southwest, competition has heated up among the three main players, together with a little help from legacy airlines like United. As a result, this fall's Hawaii airfare sales are the earliest and most widespread we've seen in years. In fact, fall airfares are running at just about the cost of fuel alone on many Hawaii routes served by Allegiant, Alaska and Hawaiian.
Mainland Cities In The Mix
Should Southwest decide to add Hawaii to its destinations, which mainland cities will they choose? The options are limited, and the competition in place. However, the following are among the anticipated departure cities:
Interesting Opportunities Exist
Southwest is so large that they will create their own markets in spite of existing competition. Loyal followers will choose to fly Southwest to Hawaii.
When Southwest Airlines Hawaii service finally happens, nonstop opportunities will be limited by aircraft type. They will, however, enjoy an ability to create unique one-stop services including for example, Texas. If they move in that direction, they may also find that creating new markets for Hawaii travel is a great deal of work.
Lastly, should Southwest feel aggressive in terms of Hawaii, there is another possibility. They already have the aircraft (Boeing 717 acquired from AirTran) and could decide to offer inter-island service.

*whack *whack… okay, so i'm probably beating a dead hors… anyway, the 737-800, will have a weight restriction getting out of KSNA. if I understand the numbers correctly, it could be as high as 30 passengers. it's the reason why the long-haul flights out of KSNA are done with 757-200s and 737-700s. The -700s are light enough to get out of KSNA fully loaded (it's what WestJet flies to the Great North and what Aloha flew to nearly every Hawaiian island from KSNA), and the 757-200s (that Delta uses to KATL) have so much power, the noise abatement climbs are no problem (except on hot days or when their destination has weather restrictions and they need to carry more fuel).
Southwest would definitely stir things up in the Trans-Pac market. As much as they love KSNA and KSAN, it's hard to ignore LAX being one of SWA's biggest hubs. If they could bring LAX flights back to consistent affordability, they could really make a push for market share. that's a route that Allegiant wouldn't be able to break into.
i wouldn't be surprised if the legacy carriers started pulling back on their west coast routes and focused more on the ultra-long-haul flights, JFK, ATL, CVG, IAH, EWR, SLC, ORD, DFW. Delta and American already partner with Hawaiian, so they could just connect their passengers to a Hawaiian flight from the west coast, and United, well, really, i mean, c'mon [self-edited for a snarky comment about United].
inter-island? Island Air has the right idea. i would say turbo-props are the way to go interisland. time-wise, they're only 5-10 minutes slower than the 717s or CRJ-200s. RPSM is a lot higher on turbo-props than on jets, regardless of what kind of jet you fly, so the profit margins are better. There is a reason why Island Air outlasted Aloha Airlines… and I think propellers are the key…
Beat of Hawaii (2 years ago)
Hi Davin.
Okay, so on SNA, the crazy fast climb is the issue. That sounds right to me.
The legacy's are already starting the move out of Hawaii in terms of competition, deals, capacity to some degree and slots. That will surely continue.
On the subject of Aloha Airlines, the last owners ran it into the ground. Their model and scope of operations was very different than Island Air. Not disagreeing about turbo-props, and we'll be glad to see nice new ones show up here in Hawaii.
You may already know that Island Air is the only airline which is actually a Hawaii corporation.
davin (2 years ago)
I don't think you can get a fully loaded 737-800 out of KSNA to Hawaii. you could with a 737-700 (like Aloha and Continental used to do), but the 737-800 (like the 757-200s United flies out of KSNA) would need to do an intermediate stop to pick up more fuel before heading on its long leg (maybe the new 737-8MAX will have the performace to get out of KSNA fully loaded).
While SWA could possibly bring 717s to the islands, I still think it's more likely that they would bring their older -300 and -400s to the interisland market. they could even contract Aloha Air Cargo for maintanence if they didn't want to open a base all they way out here. Take that a step further and they could buy the Aloha Airlines name and restart The People's Airline… I wonder if the Aloha Airlines 737ETOPS certificate is still for sale… that would save SWA a lot of time and money…
Beat of Hawaii (2 years ago)
Hi Davin.
Thanks for your comment.
737-800 seems to be the plane of choice from the west coast to Hawaii. That is what Alaska uses everywhere from San Diego to Bellingham. So SNA (John Wayne) is good to go. It's theoretical maximum range is over 3,000 nm, which is significantly more than needed, although I'd assume winds are a factor.
Interesting thoughts on Southwest and their older 737′s. We'll see if they even have an interest in inter-island flying. Also, I believe the Aloha name is still owned by Yucaipa, so it is probably for sale at the right price.
BeachesMountains (2 years ago)
On one hand, the thought of long flights in coach (especially if red-eye returning home) on narrow body aircraft isn't appealing…however, Southwest's straight forward approach to flying, convenient connections (Hawaiian's mainland scheduling almost mandates overnight stays on the west coast) & absence of baggage fees would be a welcomed relief .
Also, your interisland service potential was news to me; I also was under the impression the 717′s had been unloaded.
Appreciate the info Jeff!
Angelica Jayne Taggart (2 years ago)
So – it sounds like Southwest going to the islands is a bad thing for the Island airlines —
However, I got excited! I now live in Baltimore, MD and my airfare to come home to the Hilo side of the Big Island is quite high —
SW to Hawai'i might just be the ticket for us who miss ohana and the aina!
Blessings, Angelica
Larry (2 years ago)
The last paragraph is now out of date. Delta Airlines announced this past summer that it is swallowing up all of AirTran's B717s.
Jeff (2 years ago)
Hi Larry.
Thanks for your comment. Southwest will have many 717′s available for Hawaii or whatever they choose for up to three years. The last 36 aircraft do not transfer to Delta until 2015. If SWA decides to try inter-island, I couldn't imagine using more than a half dozen or so aircraft to start.

General Motors Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS) is most noticeable by the "black chip" in
the blade of the key. Originally installed in Corvettes as early as 1986, it was still in use in
the Corvette in 2004. It has been used in all GM brands.
VATS is a General Motors (GM) security system that has a resistor embedded in the blade of the key. There are 15 different resistors in the single sided configuration, and 14 different resistors in the double sided configuration. There is a three minute penalty for using the incorrect resistor.
Normal operation is for the key, with resistor pellet, to be inserted and turned. If the correct resistance is read, the VATS Module, through a relay, will allow the starter to crank the engine and also send a signal to the ECM to allow the operation of the fuel injectors. Without the correct resistor the injectors and starter are inhibited.
The security derives from the fact that there is a one-in-fourteen / fifteen chance of having the correct resistor. The worst case scenario when the penalty is invoked (3 x 15) is 45 minutes. This discourages, but does not eliminate, the theft of the vehicle.
At Mr. G Locksmith.com we have the equipment to originate and duplicate your VATS keys.

Exhibition Brochure
The exhibition is at the National Gallery of Art from 19 September 1999 until 2 January 2000.Introduction | Late Prehistoric | Bronze Age | Chu Culture | Early Imperial | Timeline
For thousands of years, Chinese collectors have treasured antiquities both for their beauty and as venerable relics of the past. Yet little was known of the original context and meaning of ancient works of art until the introduction of archaeology in the early twentieth century. After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Chinese intellectuals and reformers embraced foreign ideas and technology, which attracted Western missionaries, explorers, geologists, and other scientists to the new Republic of China. Archaeologists from Europe, Japan, and America soon followed and launched the first scientific excavations in the country. Chinese scholars were impressed by the discoveries, and rather than leave the excavation of their past to foreigners, they embraced the new field themselves. Archaeology has flourished in China in the past fifty years, and especially in the period since the 1970s, which Chinese archaeologists now consider their "golden age." New finds have revealed the existence of regional cultures that were previously unknown and works of art that are unprecedented in style and subject.
The Golden Age of Chinese Archaeology is in part a sequel to the exhibition of archaeological finds from China shown at the National Gallery of Art in 1974. At the time of that exhibition, most of the works of art now on display were still lying deep in the ground. Dating from c. 5000 B.C. to A.D. 924, the finds include precious jades, lacquerware, silks, ceramics, objects in gold and silver, and extraordinary works of sculpture in terra-cotta, stone, and bronze. These discoveries have shed new light on the complex origins of Chinese civilization and necessitated the rewriting of early Chinese history.Introduction | Late Prehistoric | Bronze Age | Chu Culture | Early Imperial | Timeline
