A class of 13 Western Washington University students is going to China this summer to study issues affecting the country such as gender, the aging population – a relatively new social problem – politics, community building and China's rapidly changing environment.
Assistant Professor of Sociology Baozhen Luo and Associate Professor of Political Science Kristen Parris will accompany the students to China from Aug. 19 to Sept. 16. Both Parris and Luo wanted the focus to be on social sciences and not based around learning the language.
During meetings earlier this summer, students in the 10-credit class have been reading extensively about Chinese culture, watching documentaries and movies, talking about what they've learned and writing reviews, Luo said. She wants the students to see the connection between what they've learned and what they experience during their trip.
Each student has been developing proposals for research papers that are due after they get back. Students have chosen topics that appeal most to them; a couple are how eating disorders are viewed in Chinese society and what the definition of success is to Chinese youth.
Luo and Parris want the students to conduct different forms of research while in China to support their papers, such as interviewing. Luo said students will be partnered with English-speaking Chinese students to help them with the language barrier while they do their research.
Some of the students going to China are: Margaret Counihan, Olympia, Sociology; Kailey Ivy, Ferndale, double major in Sociology and Psychology; Madeleine Laney, Puyallup, Sociology; Jessica Morrison, Snohomish, Sociology; Chloe Schienbein, Seattle, Sociology; Catherine Weiland, Olympia, double major in Sociology and Psychology; April Bezona, Bellingham, Sociology; Frazier Edwards, Seattle, Art; Chyena Markley, Redmond, Recreation; Kevin Yen, Spokane, double major in Sociology and Communication; and Kevin Perkins, Snohomish, History.
Chloe Schienbein had been looking for a chance to study abroad, and when she heard about this trip and how it could count toward her Sociology major, she knew she had to go.
"I want to take advantage of every moment and really immerse myself in the culture," she said. "This trip is about being more than a tourist and discovering for ourselves what it means to be a part of Chinese society today."
Schienbein's classmate Maddi Laney isn't worried about the language factor either; she looks at it more as a challenging but effective teaching method.
"I hope to get a greater understanding of China in many different ways -- socially, politically, economically and whatever other ways my eyes will be opened up," Laney said. The students are scheduled to begin their trip Aug. 19 in Beijing. They plan to spend a few days there, allowing the students to recover from jet lag and see a few tourist attractions, such as the Great Wall. From there they will head west and stay a few days in Lanzhou and visit Lanzhou University, where they will pair up with Chinese students. After a few days of researching, they will then head to Hangzhou and stay at Zhejiang University for more research. They are scheduled to leave Sept. 16 from Shanghai and will present their research papers on Oct. 6 at Western.
"They will be able to compare some of the major gaps in China right now; the coastal plains versus the hinterland, the west versus the east, the rich versus the poor and also rural versus urban," Parris said.
Luo says she's looking forward to seeing the students grow through this experience. She took a group to China before coming to Western and remembers how amazing it is to watch students change and learn.
"I don't want the students going there and feeling like a tourist," she said. "I want them to be scholars."

Murtha and Hastings are Out
Ok...so there was a part of me that wanted the Democrats to be so terrible for the next two years that they would kill their own party once and for all.
But...I'm an American first. John Murtha and Alcee Hastings were terrible choices, and America will be better with more qualified and ethical Democrats running the house. So, good deal.

ah-ha! so that's what you're after: a 1-party system.
1,2,3, What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. The next stop is Vietnam!
I remember singing along to that song on a "Best of Woodstock" tape, at the age of 15, without really understanding what it was about. I'm glad I know better now. What that has to do with my post, I have yet to figure out. Maybe another decade of age and wisdom will clue me in.
As for the one party thing...did you miss the whole point of my post?
i'm glad you're glad you know better now!
5,6,7 Open up the pearly gates.
It ain't no time to wonder why.
Yippee! We're all going to die.

You'll have to either specify these separately or write a process to query DSPOBJD to an outfile and look for both ODOBTP and ODOBAT. Currently SAVOBJ doesn't allow you to specify Object Attribute. SAVOBJ OBJ(*ALL) LIB(MYLIB) DEV(*SAVF) OBJTYPE(*FILE) Even tried to cheat. Like, if you ftp up a save file as /qsys.lib/mylib.lib/mysavf.savf then you don't have to precreate the save file. However I can't do a wrklnk '/qsys.lib/rob.lib/*.savf' So I probably can't break down an IFS save to do it either. Rob Berendt

A BULK airtime vendor was shot dead by armed robbers before they got away with an undisclosed amount of cash in the Avenues area in Harare on Saturday. The incident occurred at the corner of Fife Avenue and Sixth Street around 6pm. Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Tadious Chibanda confirmed the incident and identified the deceased as Thomas Amidu (29).
"The bulk airtime vendor was at his flat counting his day's takings when three armed men arrived and pretended that they wanted to buy airtime," he said.
Insp Chibanda said the unsuspecting vendor opened the door whereupon one of the robbers produced a gun and ordered him to surrender all his cash.
"He resisted and cried for help and he was shot once in the abdomen before they fled with their loot," Insp Chibanda said.
When neighbours rushed to his flat, the robbers had already fled in a white Toyota Altezza.
Insp Chibanda said officers from the CID Homicide Section had since started investigating the case.
He said police discovered an empty cash box on the scene.
Insp Chibanda urged the public to desist from keeping large sums of cash at home.

Maybe @Human; is being controlled by Haou
I'm trying to think of a character who could have an ability that would create maybe a post restriction... Saiou maybe?
Either way, though, I'm not sure what we can do with this situation at the moment, since it's not as though whoever did it will come forward about it.
Ack, what a bad time to regret not finishing GX. T.T
About the flavor text positioning, I don't think it means anything at the moment. I think that it's just a rather clever way of making the story more coherent. I'm not discounting the fact that it could mean something but there aren't too many ideas as to what since it's still really early in the game.
So my opinion is this:
That positioning isn't something serious to be taken about. The mafia targeted Sputnik and she just happened to be a random bomb.
I assumed Sputnik might die off early because she claimed Independent AGAIN right when in the previous game she had been an Indep. Nobody would've trusted her
The day was spent in panic.
Kenzan was dead… and to make matters worse, Judai and Asuka had heard a rumor that Ryo was mysteriously murdered. Neither wanted to break the news to Sho, yet…
"I can't believe… he's gone." Asuka said, looking at the ground.
"It's my fault! I should have gone with him---"
"Sho, it's not your fault. It's mine." Judai interrupted the smaller teen, a look of remorse on his face. "If I hadn't gone off like that…"
Suddenly, Professor Emi Ayukawa and Yusuke Fujiwara walked in. "We got back the results from the autopsy on Kenzan-san… He was stabbed twice in the back."
Judai turned his head, seeing that the two came in. "That's odd. Were the wounds deep or something?"
She shook her head, a look of confusion present. "No… they weren't. We'll study some more though. In the meantime, everyone, try to stay inside your dorms."
"Yes, sensei."
Fujiwara looked at Judai… seemingly staring at him. Judai noticed and smiled back at him, wondering why he just stood there, gazing at him.
"Fujiwara, what brings you here?" Asuka said, cautiously looking at him.
"…" No response from the teen, he walked out of the room.
Judai extended his hand out as Fujiwara left, saying "Wait, sensei just told us to---- and he's gone. Well, anyway, let's all just try to stay safe… okay?"

KENDALLVILLE — Carroll coach Marty Beasley never talked to his team this week about exorcising the demons of three straight years of losing to Northrop in the sectionals. His team's defense then made sure those demons remained a secret.
"We never mentioned it," Beasley said Friday night after his Chargers defeated the Bruins 55-34 in a semifinal of the East Noble Class 4A Sectional. "This is a new year, and we try to just talk about this year and only this year. You can't live in the past, you can't predict the future, so you might as well live in the present."
The Chargers' present now includes a matchup at 7:30 tonight with No. 4 North Side (23-1) for the sectional championship. The Redskins won their 13th straight game earlier Friday by rolling over East Noble 85-44.
"They're very good, they're definitely a state contender," Beasley said of North Side. "I just hope that we come out and we're able to compete against them somewhat and are able to give them a challenge."
The Chargers (15-8), winners of eight of their last 10, earned a shot at their first sectional title since 2010 by holding Northrop to a season-low 34 points on 31 percent shooting while forcing 18 turnovers.
Northrop (8-13), sectional champions the last three years, controlled tempo and the lead for the first 12 minutes with Jacoby Claypool's transition basket making it 14-12. It was the last time the Bruins led.
Kyle Mallers scored in the lane to tie it at 14, then Chandler White scored the first of his game-high 14 points with a free throw and a 3-pointer to key a 14-3 Carroll run to end the half ahead 26-17.
"We did a very nice job early, but then we got away from our game plan a little bit," Northrop coach Barak Coolman said. "Once it got sped up and we didn't make some shots, then it got away from us. Carroll is a really good team and did a great job. If we had been able to make a few more shots early and built a little more of a cushion, then it might have been different."
Northrop went the first four minutes of the third quarter without a point but pulled within seven in the final minute with two 3-pointers. But White scored on a layup at the buzzer to make it 37-28.
The Chargers stretched their lead in a perfect final quarter, hitting all five field goals and eight free-throw attempts.
Jeremy Kalonji added 10 points, and all five Carroll starters scored at least seven points.
Anton Berry led the Bruins with seven.

Well, Galeon (and probably Mozilla) appear to be OK. I setup netcat to
listen on a port, then set up a web page on my computer's tiny personal
web server to connect to that port through a hyperlink. I connected to
the page with the URL: http://bloom@localhost/~bloom/test.html, (the
browser continued to show this url, as written) then clicked the link.

We've raised global awareness about the dangers of Arctic oil drilling, climbed oil rigs to obstruct operations, mobilized nearly three million people and celebrated as major oil companies backed off plans to drill in the Arctic. View a timeline of our campaign. We won't stop until the Arctic is declared a global sancuary.
In 2012, six Greenpeace International activists, including Greenpeace International Executive Director Kumi Naidoo, climbed a rig belonging to Gazprom, a Russian oil company.
"We can't match Shell's enormous financial muscle, but we have creativity and millions of people behind us. This is the defining environmental battle of our time and we have only just begun." -Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace International Executive Director
Many of us may never get the chance to travel to the top of the world. Yet similar to the places often unseen, the Arctic needs our help. During our most recent Arctic excursion, a crewmember called the Arctic a "big air conditioner."That's because the sea ice in the Arctic regulates our global climate by reflecting sunlight. That ice is melting at a rapid rate meaning the ocean absorbs the sunlight resulting in a warmer earth. This of course causes more sea ice to melt. Sounds like a vicious cycle, huh?
Not only does the Arctic work to regulate the global climate, it's also home to a rich ecosystem and indigenous people who depend on that ecosystem. Polar bears, seals, walruses and whales are just some of the species that call the Arctic home. And it's all in danger.
Oil companies are eager to profit from the melting sea ice by drilling in the Arctic. While the entire oil industry is looking to move into the Arctic, Shell is leading the way. Yet they have proven several times that there are in no way Arctic ready with various mishaps including a rig on the loose and a fire aboard their drill ship The Noble Discoverer.
Despite their very public and very embarassing mistakes, Shell is determined to profit from the Arctic, groundzero of global warming. They're planning to drill in the same spot where Greenpeace and University of Alaska scientist Kelley Newman discovered coral, recorded orca whale calls and talked to the amazing people of Point Hope, Alaska.
Nevermind that Shell's plans to drill for oil contribute to the vicious cycle of global warming. The climate in the Arctic can be severe and unpredictable making an oil spill likely-and catastrophic. You would think the Arctic Council, an intergovernmental body of Arctic governments and citizens, would have a solid spill-response plan to prepare for this likely occurence. We were pretty shocked to read in a leaked draft that the Council had no real plan established in the likely case of a spill.
In addition to the new threat from Shell, the Russian oil industry spills 30 million barrels of oil each year. That's seven times the amount that escaped during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Every 18 months, more than 4 billion barrels spews into the Arctic.

Aengus Property Holdings (APH) is a brand synonymous with inner-city regeneration, urban renewal, a new wave of fashionable inner-city living. APH has come a long way in a short time, thanks to its unique approach to providing affordable yet upmarket accommodation within the Joburg CBD.
As one of Johannesburg's foremost urban renewal specialists, APH has brought stylish yet affordable inner-city living to thousands of people, setting the benchmark for affordable housing in areas previously characterised by limited supply and quality of accommodation.
Their premise was an innovative one: convert mothballed commercial office blocks into stylish, upmarket loft apartments, perfectly suited to South Africa's massive emerging middle class.
With an estimated one million people commuting to work in the Joburg CBD each day, this represents not just a gap in the property market, but rather a yawning chasm, which APH is rapidly filling.
The holding company APH, created Aengus Investment Properties (AIP) and Aengus Property Management (APM).
The Aengus total lifestyle package
Using a now-proven recipe of in-house construction and property management, APH has created stylish accommodation for over 3 000 tenants across many renovated buildings nationally.
Its conventional tenancy is typically the young professional earning between R10 000 and R15 000 a month, and employed by one of the large, established organisations in and around the city.
APH also targets the student community in Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth, having strong relationships with many tertiary education institutions that call the CBD their home assisting in meeting the rapidly increasing demand for upmarket quality student accommodation.
The apartments in converted APH buildings are bachelor pads or single-bedroom units, making them affordable to this low to mid-income market.
While easy on the pocket, APH units do not however, compromise on style. All units come standard with the ultra-modern fittings and finishes associated with luxury living: fridge/freezers, built-in stoves, strip wooden floors, ceramic tiled bathrooms, fitted cupboards, window blinds, and even 12-channel satellite TV.
All buildings have access control and 24-hour security, as well as secure parking, making them attractive to female tenants, who make up approximately 70% of the tenant base.
Tenants are also offered numerous value-adds, such as on-site laundries, the Aengus Lifestyle Card which gives them discounts at 500 retail and service businesses, and even free daily transport for students to universities and colleges further than 1,5km away.
Investing in the dream
Many of APH's desirable rental units were offered for sale to the investor market through sectional title sale in 2007, delivering outstanding yields with medium- to long-term capital appreciation. APH buildings generate returns of over 10% per year, with rental escalations maintained at 8%, sometimes as often as twice a year.
Investors' interests are further looked after by APH's management company, Aengus Property Management, which ensures that investors enjoy as close to 100% occupancy and 100% rental collection as possible, while taking care of all maintenance and building issues on the investor's behalf.
With a vested interest in the ongoing success of its converted buildings, Aengus Property Holdings was reluctant to leave the management of its properties to an outside concern.
It therefore set up Aengus Property Management (APM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of APH that manages the entire rental portfolio, as well as sectional title buildings on behalf of the group.
APM performs a facilities management role within APH. On top of managing all repairs and maintenance, its 200-strong team also manages all security aspects, including access control, guarding and monitoring.
An in-house professional letting team coordinates vacancies, ensuring that vacated apartments are seamlessly filled with new, vetted tenants from APM's waiting lists.
Strict screening processes for prospective tenants and year-round demand for APH apartments (with some buildings being as much as 10 times over-subscribed), have seen APM boasting an enviable seemless occupancy for the 3 000 units across the various buildings that it manages. It also has a track record of 100% rental collection and zero arrears.
APM furthermore manages the financial processes of all buildings, in bodies corporate, collecting levies and rentals and paying profits to investors.
This dedicated management of tenants, buildings and facilities has contributed to the way-above-average rental returns for investors within the Aengus building portfolios. It also adds to the long-term appeal and capital appreciation which these units are delivering.
Aengus Investment Properties (Pty) Limited (AIP) is the investment vehicle within the Aengus Group of Companies. It holds and/or leases properties nationally specifically catering for the student market within each region.
The portfolio comprises of 13 buildings offering affordable, upmarket student accommodation in the urban renewal zones of Johannesburg's CBD, Port Elizabeth's Central area and the similarly rejuvenated Greyville area in Durban.
AIP continues to utilise the services of Aengus Property Management, the group's management arm, to ensure all buildings are well maintained and properly run.

BEIRUT: The Lebanese Forces called Thursday a man who confessed to fabricating a story about an attack against him to be tried, the LF's media office said in a statement.
"The LF hails the arrest of Ihab al-Azzi by the Army and calls for referring him to trial on charges of provoking strife in the country," the statement said.
The statement added that Azzi should be severely punished so as to set an example for anyone who tries to harm civil peace between the Lebanese.
In a report by a local newspaper, Azzi claimed that he was assaulted because of his sect. He claimed to media outlets that a man cut off the fingers of his left hand with a sword Sunday after identifying him as a Shiite in the Beirut neighborhood of Tariq al-Jdideh.
The Lebanese Army issued a statement Wednesday saying Azzi confessed that he fabricated the news in order to receive free heath care from the Health Ministry.
The Army said he will be referred to the relevant judiciary.

Babies only hours old are able to differentiate between sounds from their native language and a foreign language, scientists have discovered. The study indicates that babies begin absorbing language while still in the womb, earlier than previously thought.
Sensory and brain mechanisms for hearing are developed at 30 weeks of gestational age, and the new study shows that unborn babies are listening to their mothers talk during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy and at birth can demonstrate what they've heard.

The original building structure, harboring over 30,000 square feet of usable space, had been sitting vacant on the corner of 6th Ave. and Kalamath for over 5 years. Located just one block away from the Denver Santa Fe Art District and sitting on one of the busiest intersections in Denver, it was a great opportunity awaiting its next incarnation. The location and building were acting as a perfect "gateway" to Denver and the mountains. Tens of thousands of people passed by on a daily basis coming into Denver, and tens of thousands more passed it again as they headed west to experience Colorado's countless recreation opportunities.
Flash forward to early 2010, and enter the combined vision of Wink Inc. and The Public Works. Each company desired to grow their business with a physical location in the heart of Denver, and this space fit the bill. The two businesses cover a wide range of creative services but believed that finding a large building and finding other like-minded companies would create something special and important to the city of Denver. In just over 4 months, a desolate and worn out 'skeleton' of a building transformed into Denver's newest and best shared creative space. Creative and diverse tenants were found. Many partnerships were formed. Great things were happening.
Since opening in November of 2010, Battery621 has received instant attention. The entire floor plan was designed to maximize space usage and flexibility, allowing 621 to function as a premier place of business during the day, and a very unique event space after hours. Every aspect of the building has been looked at from the most progressive, creative, and sustainable angle to tell a unique story. We have taken a prominent corner of Denver from something of shame to a place that inspires creative spirit.
With all that said, we welcome you to Battery621. And you know the best part? We're not even done yet...

DAN ZANES' Pre-Broadway Buzz Through SF
By Jackie Burrell
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 at 10:15 am in children's music, Family Entertainment.
Normally, we'd save this for one of our "Fab Five for the Weekend" lists but these tickets are going to sell out much too quickly. So here's an early "Fab One for Thanksgiving Weekend" item for you. Dan Zanes, the insanely popular kids' entertainer, is bringing his brand new holiday-themed show to San Francisco at noon and 5 p.m. Nov. 29 and 30. And then the show is heading to Broadway.
San Francisco Performances is billing "Holiday House Party with Dan Zanes and Friends" as a 21st-century alternative to "Nutcracker." There's tap dancing, Arabic beats, disco Hannukah tunes, a sing-along, and even a little posada-style fiddling. And did we mention the puppets? Big, big fun. Tickets are $25-$35. Get 'em while they're hot.

Robots face off in 2012 National Robotics Competition
Robots face off in 2012 National Robotics Competition. Over 680 students from public and private schools all over the Philippines flocked to San Juan�s ARENA for the 2012 annual National Robotics Competition on Friday, January 20. Now running for the fifth year in a row, the National Robotics Competition is jointly organized by the Genetic Computer Institute and Data Science and Technology. REGINA LAYUG-ROSERO
Over 680 students from public and private schools all over the Philippines flocked to San Juan's ARENA for the 2012 annual National Robotics Competition on Friday, January 20. Now running for the fifth year in a row, the National Robotics Competition is jointly organized by the Genetic Computer Institute and Data Science and Technology.
Genetic develops Computer Curriculum Support for grade school and high school, and robotics is a part of that curriculum.
High school and college students form teams of two to four members, plus a coach. They have the option of joining one of three categories:
- In Prison Break, robots must overcome a two-part obstacle course with blocks and bridges, similar to a person trying to escape a maze. The robots must use sensors to detect the obstacles and find ways around them. Given the complexity of the maze, only a few robots made it past the first half of the game board. The winners of this challenge will represent the Philippines in an all expenses paid trip to the 2012 International Robot Olympiad in Gwangju, South Korea. Last year the Philippines was represented by Grace Christian Academy—which won a silver medal—and Harris International School as well as other schools.
- The SumoBot category simulates traditional Japanese wrestling. Two robots must face off in a sumo ring, and try to push each other out of the ring. The winner is determined by the best of three rounds. This year, the organizers instituted weight categories, similar to weight classes in boxing, according to VP for Marketing Pinky Legaspi. Each robot must meet the weight limits of 1kg, 500 grams or 400 grams, as well as other basic requirements such as height and width, materials used and attached sensors.
- Line Tracing requires a robot to follow a line on a given path, similar to a human following a road. The robot must complete the challenge in three minutes. In all three categories, the robots are autonomous, not remote-controlled by the team.
In addition to the competition activities, Genetic also held mini-workshops for students and teachers interested in starting robotics programs in their schools. Among the topics discussed were the computer curricula for the new K-12 educational system, and how robotics can be used to teach English, Math and Science. Conrad Sng Lye Huat of INEX in Singapore gave a talk on the basics of robotics, and commented on significant improvements among Filipino students' creativity and technical skill in robotics. "A lot of the students' creations are really based on creativity, and they use parts from different areas. They cut it themselves, they make it themselves, using different micro-controllers, not just one product. They think outside of what is given to them." — TJD, GMA News

The Bachelor
Watch Now! How to Break up With a Girl in 15 Easy Steps (Starring Brad Womack)
If anyone knows how to dump a chick, it's Brad Womack. Not even counting his normal life in Austin, Texas, the guy dumped 25 women on The Bachelor Season 11 — and he'll get through at least 29 before the end of Season 15.
Brad illustrates his expertise in this illuminating (and hilarious) video from Accept This Rose. Watch and learn as Brad uses his 15 easy breakup steps during the dumping of Britt Billmaier on Season 15, Episode 7.
1. Address the girl by name and flatter her.
2. Tell her any guy would be lucky to have her.
3. Don't admit to having any fun on the last date.
4. After flattering her, make sure to say "but..."
5. Make sure to let her know you're only breaking up with her because you think so highly of her.
6. Be sure to cut her off before you lose control of the conversation.
7. Assume she doesn't want to be with you either.
8. Keep reminding her you're only doing this because you think so highly of her.
9. Don't get down on yourself.
10. Remind her that you're mostly concerned about what other people think.
11. Apologize one last time.
12. Make sure to say something as you're walking her out so it's not awkward.
13. Make sure she doesn't fall on the way out or you'll never get out of there.
14. Seriously, don't let her slip or you're screwed.
15. Watch her sail away to let her know you still care.
That's all there is to it, folks! It's as easy as a slap in the face.

The art of baking would be a discovery Phyllis encountered as a child becoming an adult in the Philippines. Neighboring her home was as a famous family that ran a little baking company. The mother invited Phyllis to provide since the company�s apprentice, allowing her to mix eggs, measure sugar and knead dough, and everyday Phyllis would go back home having a half bakery and, if she was luck, the perimeters of some brownies. Even today, Phyllis treasures that time in their life, her realization that baking was her passion. - natural
Together with her adoration for baking, Phyllis is alert to her body along with what she feeds it; she carries exactly the same awareness toward her household also. Sherrrd like to find out people eating better and making wiser food choices, so SuperBaked premiered to supply people who love super tasty baked treats a clear and organic substitute for what's perfectly located at the modern grocery store snack food aisle.
Phyllis puts it such as this: "SuperBaked is passionate about making great-tasting baked goods and the pleasure of sharing them others. We are committed to only using ingredients that are fresh, wholesome and safe to eat."
WHY ORGANIC?(just an idea for web content)
SuperBaked believes that certified organic ingredients are answer to conserve a healthy lifestyle. With wholesome, all-natural ingredients, there is no need to worry about additives, colorings, artificial flavors, processed sugars, and so on. Consider a baked good's base: Flour. It comes from grain, which can be grown over a farm, and most commercial farms coat their grain in most types of mad chemicals--herbicides, fungicides, insecticides--all of which are actually considered cancerous from the EPA. Yikes! And not only are we talking health benefits, we're discussing pleasure. Organic your meals are super tasty because organic farmers worry about the caliber of soil as well as other components of growing crops and convey. You can find studies to prove this fact, likeTHIS ONE. Last, however, not least, by ordering and eating organic foods, you might be supporting independent, organic farmers, the small guys who keep setting up a battle challenging mega commercial farms that spray their crops with the nasties mentioned earlier. - natural

Same question, another answer: I found timemachine very good for live recording. As you are using muse only for recording, you could replace it by a smaller client. And timemachine is the basic recording machine with the most simple GUI you might ever have seen for this purpose. Of course it has a vu-meter, which even is exact.

Can I use this for the new 4th generation iPad and my iPhone 4S.
- Asked by Jane V from Mansfield
Lightning to Micro USB Adapter
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
This adapter will let you use a USB charger for the lightning port on your 4th generation iPad. However, your iPhone 4S had the older 30-pin port, so this lightning adapter will not work for your iPhone 4S. The only iPhone with a Lightning port is the iPhone 5.
- Answered by Al F from Snohomish
You can use this for your iPad but your iPhone is using the older 30-pin connector. The iPhone 5 is the only iPhone with a lightning port.
- Answered by Andrea M from Kaukauna
Good news - It *WILL* work with the 4th Generation iPad
Bad News - It *WILL* *NOT* work with the iPhone 4S.
The connectors on each are different.

A Grovetown teenager was not seriously injured in a single-car wreck Tuesday.
Samantha Moores, 17, of Fornum Drive, was taken to the Georgia Health Sciences University Medical Center with minor injuries after being extricated from her car.
At about 10:30 a.m., Moores was driving east on Wrightsboro Road near Reynolds Road, when her tires went off the road onto the shoulder, Columbia County sheriff's Staff Sgt. Ray Childress said. Moores over-corrected and the Nissan 240SX spun into a ditch.

For John Russell Hintze, getting into the United States Naval Academy was hard. But for the 17-year-old Grovetown High School graduate, cutting his rock-and-roll hair for the first time since he was 10 might have been harder.
"I feel naked," the metal band guitarist said after his mother chopped off his hair Sunday in front of his friends and family outside their family's home.
His mother, Katrina Hintze, carefully kept his dark brown hair in pony tails so John Russell could send it to Locks of Love, something he insisted on.
The 2012 election season officially begins Wednesday as qualifying opens for candidates in the July 31 primary.
Qualifying for Columbia County races begins at 9 a.m. at the Columbia County Board of Elections office, in Building E of the government center at 500 Faircloth Drive.
Qualifying continues at 9 a.m. Thursday and from 9 a.m. until noon Friday, Columbia County Registration Coordinator Nancy Gay said.
Candidates for nonpartisan races file their paperwork directly with the Board of Elections, and the office closes at 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Gay said.
Former University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley will be the featured speaker at the Central Savannah River Area Hydrangea Society's 2012 Hydrangea Conference next month.
Author of Digging in the Dirt with the Dawg, Dooley will give the keynote address at the June 7 event, to be held at Savannah Rapids Pavilion in Evans.
"I managed to sweet talk Coach Dooley into speaking," said Sharyn Altman, former Georgia Council of Garden Clubs president and conference chairperson.
The warm weather this year has vegetable gardens producing earlier than normal. One day this past week, I heard one gardener already talking about harvesting tomatoes.
The tomato is the most commonly grown vegetable in gardens. Gardeners will grow tomatoes if they don't grow anything else. Tomatoes are easy to grow, and everyone who grows them has their special way, but there are some problems that affect tomatoes.
Work is expected to start in early June on a new Columbia County exhibition hall near Grovetown.
Columbia County commissioners on Tuesday awarded the $7.3 million project to Augusta-based McKnight Construction Co. The more than 47,000-square-foot facility will be built behind Walmart in the Gateway Shopping Center on Horizon South Parkway near Interstate 20
Construction should start during the first week of June and is scheduled to conclude by early 2013, said county Construction and Maintenance Services Director Matt Schlachter.

Drugs taken in robbery
Columbia County deputies Friday were searching for an armed man who stole drugs from an Evans pharmacy.
A man wearing camoflage clothing, with a net over his head, brandished a handgun at the CVS Pharmacy on North Belair Road at Furys Ferry Road just as the store opened, said Sheriff's Capt. Sharif Chochol.
The man vaulted the pharmacy counter, took an undetermined number of prescription medications and then fled the store on foot, Chochol said.

Like all ALS providers, the fundamental prerequisite is current EMT-Basic certification. Most instructors require at least one year of active experience at the EMT-Basic level. On average, students receive approximately 300-400 total hours of instruction. This instruction is broken up into 175-225 classroom/practical laboratory hours, 50-75 clinical hours and 75-100 field internship hours. At the end of the class, students must pass the state's practical skills and written exam to obtain certification. However, an EMT-CC's education never truly ends as many continuing medical education requirements are required to maintain certification.
A wide variety of topics are covered in class with specific didactic laboratory time. These topics include:
A significant amount of time is spent observing health care professionals in various clinical settings such as the Emergency Department, Operating Room, Coronary Care Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Burn Unit and Medical Intensive Care Unit. The clinical time is designed to expose the student to a large volume and variety of patients in an educational setting so didactic skills and clinical knowledge can be practiced and refined.
EMT-CC students participate in many EMS calls in the field that require ALS skills under an EMT-CC or Paramedic preceptor. Field clinical time represents the phase of instruction where students learn how to apply cognitive knowledge, and the skills developed in the didactic laboratories and hospital clinical time, to the EMS field environment.
EMT-CCs, like all EMS providers, follow a set of protocols for patient care under the guidance of a medical director. These protocols are typically listed in an algorithm format and consist of either routine standing orders or orders that require direct, on-line communication with medical control via radio or telephone. As compared to a Paramedic, an EMT-CC has fewer routine standing orders and requires more contact with medical control.
While the ALS protocols vary slight between the different regions in New York as to which are standing orders versus those which require on-line medical control, all protocols follow current guidelines for Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Pre-hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), Basic Trauma Life Support (BTLS) and Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS). Ultimately, EMT-CC's are capable of initiating venous access, administering medications, performing endotracheal intubation, interpreting ECGs, performing electrical cardiac therapy, performing chest decompression, performing intraosseous access and comply with all state defined Basic Life Support (BLS) protocols.

Before everything!!!....... If I wink only,...
Before everything!!!....... If I wink only, it's not laziness or fishing. It just means....hey, take a look and see if you even want to talk to me. Trust me, I'll talk your ear off if you're interested, if you're not......don't say a word. First of all I'm a skydiving instructor/ I work at the indoor skydiving iFLY facilities with a REAL job as a sales director and have just moved to the Houston area and I dont know anyone so I'm looking for some fun people to hang out with. About the skydiving part.....I don't know if that helps me or hurts me. It does mean that I like adventure and like to have fun but it doesn't mean that I'm too wild and crazy to even bother with. Trust me, I can be boring too......I just don't prefer it. I don't mean to sound cocky but I do think I'm a fairly decent catch. In a world full of selfish, unfaithful, self absorbed assholes that have no idea how to carry on a conversation or make someone laugh I think I rise above the norm when it comes to men. I personally think I'm fairly intelligent, funny, sarcastic and witty..... maybe sometimes too much so. I don't think I'm too hard on the eyes either but everyone has their type I guess. Like everyone else on this site I'll have to say some of the same cliche things. I love to live life to the fullest and sample a little bit of everything life has to offer. Good conversation is a must for me though. I prefer it to be a nice mix of intellectual conversation mixed with laughing until your face hurts but if it's just laughter and fun then that will do until I make you smarter, or at least see my ways.........;) If you can't talk or laugh (laughter is a must) about even the most ridiculously unimportant things then you're not with the right person. I believe your partner absolutely has to be your best friend and that's where it should start......then the romance will be that much better. I've suffered through my share of life and relationship lessons and I know exactly what I'm looking for and won't waste a lot of time if it's not right. I do love meeting new people though so even if it's not a perfect match I'm always willing to have new friends to hang out with. I love to get out and sample life and you can never have too many friends to do so with. You have to be able to just have a lot of fun with your partner and prefer them over all else and that's what I'm looking for. Don't get me wrong, everyone needs their girls nights or guys nights out but in your heart of hearts you should always be wishing you were with them. I'm an outgoing, romantic, giving, and nice guy and just want a nice sweet girl without TOO much attitude or drama to share all the fun moments of life with. I'm not going to lie.....I'm a little rough around the edges at times and a little wild at times but I promise I'm fun. I can be the normal, lay on the couch guy with my puppy or partner too but I am a very social person who likes to be out having a good time and not wasting life. I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds so cheesy. Contact me or respond if I contact you and I promise I'm not as much of a tool as I just made myself sound like and I promise I'll make you laugh. I'm a lot better in person than what I put on this stupid profile. I would just really like to meet a nice, down to earth girl that has no baggage (unless it's a suitcase for a trip we're taking) to enjoy my time with. I truly am one of the last romantic, chivalrous, good guys on the planet I think and I'd like to meet my match. I'm tired of playing the game, I want to WIN the game, and that would be by finding the person I love to laugh with and be around. (HERE'S A RECENT ADDENDUM IF YOU GET THIS FAR!) I would love to just meet a couple of new friends.......romantic or not, to just be able to call on to go do stuff. Texas has sucked......convince me otherwise.

I really love being on the water or just anywhere you can sit outside and maybe have a drink or two and some good conversation. There are so many places to go wether it be farmers markets or outdoor cafe's so I don't have any particular favorites.
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
Well I like life and variety. Obviously I like to skydive but I love being active, getting outside, being around people and living. I am also a pretty big movie buff and love to see a good flick in the theater which is a contradiction but I do.
I absolutely love the beach but who doesn't? I also love to go boating whenever I get the chance. I'm a very social person so I love to be around people and being outside is best. Drinks outside with friends or just your person is one of my faves.
Well I had to read my Instructional Manuals for teaching skydiving tandem instructor courses but other than that most of my reads are either inspirational books or self help books. I don't think you can ever stop improving yourself.

Karrueche Tran Covers Bombshell by Bleu
This month, she's covering the second issue of Bleu Magazine's beauty and lifestyle insert, Bombshell, where she dishes on how men attempt to get her attention. She also reveals her alter ego and how she was able to venture off into modeling.
Catch a few highlights and the full spread below:
On how men attempt to get her attention:
I was at a party and a basketball player, really tall, starts singing Ciara's 'Body Party' in my ear. It was hilarious. Just the idea of this big dude past 6 feet bending down singing that song in my ear made me laugh. It was cute.
On her alter ego:
Sarrueche. She's a little more fierce and daring. You need to be confident to feel sexy. Being sexy for me is versatile.
On her personal style:
I try to stick to blacks, whites, greys and neutrals, but lately I've been experimenting with a lot of colors.
On how she got into the modeling business:
The opportunity came around and I was completely down for it. I've always been approached about modeling but never completely got into it. Now that I've been doing it more, I absolutely love it! People tend to think that there is only one form of modeling (high fashion) but there are so many directions. It's amazing.

moreThough most church leaders crave authenticity in their congregations, most also know it is an elusive goal. People by nature are self-protective. And although the gospel message that we are all sinners saved by grace ought to make people more real, the truth is many of our churches are plagued by fakeness. This inauthenticity hinders spiritual and emotional health and maturity. So what's a church leader to do? The key, says Elaine Hamilton, is to go beyond talking about doing things differently. We have to act and live differently. It begins with leaders; the people will follow. We need to tell the truth about who we really are, and then provide forums for others to do the same. Church on the Couch helps you take practical steps toward changing the culture of your church. As the masks come off, the healing and growth will begin. less

Recalled Vaccines
At a Glance
The FDA Centers for Biologics Evaluation & Research maintains the information on each recalled or withdrawn product. Information about recalls of vaccines and other biological products is available by year from the FDA.
On December 16, 2013 CDC was informed by Merck that the company planned to implement a voluntary recall of one lot (lot J007354) of Gardasil® [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (types 6, 11, 16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant], due to the potential for a small number of vials to contain glass particles as a result of breakage during the manufacturing process. These vials were distributed between August 20, 2013, and October 9, 2013. No other lots are affected. For more information see
- CDC Statement regarding Gardasil vaccine recall December 2013

for Green Shag Saddle Bag - CLOSEOUT by Krieg (2 reviews)
Too cute
This bag is just the right size - and does not have a seat tube strap - which is great. The way the velcro is designed you don't need one - and is doesn't "dangle" at all. I have a tube, CO2 cylinder with adapter, tire irons, small patch kit and money in mine. once you have had a krieg you won't go back! I did have to give it a bit of a "hair cut" near the zipper to keep the fibers away from it.
- Easy to Use
- Durable
- Lightweight
- Road Bikes
Love it!!
Store that spare tube & air with style! This turns heads. Everyone wants to know where in the world I got this- people always ask about it. Cyclists get so serious- have a sense of humor & style.

Fur seals are any of nine species of pinnipeds in the Otariidae family. One species, the northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus) inhabits the North Pacific, while seven species in the Arctocephalus genus are found primarily in the Southern hemisphere. They are much more closely related to sea lions than true seals, and share with them external ears (pinnae), relatively long and muscular foreflippers, and the ability to walk on all fours. They are marked by their dense underfur, which made them a long-time object of commercial hunting.
Typically, fur seals gather during the summer months annually in large assemblages at specific beaches or rocky outcrops to give birth and breed. All species are polygynous, meaning dominant males reproduce with more than one female. For most species, total gestation lasts about 11.5 months, including a several month period of delayed implantation of the embryo. While northern fur seal males aggressively select and defend the specific females in their harems, males of southern species of fur seal tend to protect spatial territories and females are free to choose or switch their mates according to their own preference or social hierarchy. After several continuous days of nursing the newborn pups, females go on extended foraging trips that can last as long as a week, returning to the rookery to feed their pups until they are weaned. Males fast during the reproductive season, unwilling to leave their females or territories.
The remainder of the year, fur seals lead a largely pelagic existence in the open sea pursuing their prey wherever it is abundant and plentiful. Fur seals feed on moderately sized fish, squid and krill. They are preyed upon by sharks, orcas, and occasionally by larger sea lions.
When fur seals were hunted in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, they hauled out on remote islands where there were no predators. The hunters reported being able to club they unwary animals to death one after another, making the hunt profitable even though the price per seal skin was low.

The Society for Historical Archaeology's 2000 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology will be held on January 4-9 in Québec City, Canada, under the theme Waterways and Landscapes.
Hosted by:
Rivers often provided the easiest way to move inland and trade with new people and, where such natural routes did not exist or were not navigable, canals were frequently built. Changes to the landscape are most evident when they involve the built environment, but they are harder to detect when the physiography is not altered.
Landscape modifications can even be observed in areas where cultigens have been planted, since such activities alter certain aspects of the physical environment. The most devastating impact on environments can be seen in insular ecosystems where new plant and animal species have been introduced. Transferring landscape features to North America from Europe sometimes produced the desired effect whereas, in other instances, such initiatives were unsuccessful. Archaeology no longer focuses on individual sites in isolation, but on site systems and the transformation of landscapes subject to human influence. In order to explain our built environment, we use contextual archaeology to understand former environments, and through an array of techniques, we assess key variables that might have influenced the operation of cultural systems.

Shelby County~ Jackie Reames
Hi, I'm Jackie Reames, and my husband Robert and I live with our family in Shelby County. I'm very excited about having this opportunity to be an Activity Coordinator with Everest. I've home-schooled for 15 years, and still get just as excited about teaching or leading field trips now as I did when I first started.

I have two children currently being home-schooled, Matthew, who is a senior, and Alaina, who is in the 6th grade. I have two older sons who are out of high school, but were home-schooled also.

Iowa State Football: Cyclones Getting Matte Red Helmets (PHOTOS)
Iowa State's yawn-inducing "I-State" logo leaves a lot to be desired. But at the very least it looks better on a matte red helmet, which the Cyclones will wear for select games in 2014.
"I'm a traditionalist," head coach Paul Rhoads said in a statement. "However, this helmet provides us a chance to test different designs while staying within the concept of our school colors and brand."
If only it was matte red with "Cyclone Bird" decals on the side. Then we'd really be on board. Grade: B-
