Fayemi is fulfilling his campaign promises'
The chairman of the Ekiti State House of Assembly Committe on Public Petitions, Mr. Segun Erinle, spoke with reporters in Lagos on the relationship between the legislative and executive arms of government. Deputy Political Editor EMMANUEL OLADESU was there.
Has the Ekti State House of Assembly lived up to the ex-pectation of the masses?
The legislative arm in Nigeria has just started growing and with time, we shall achieve the feat of the developed country. The major achievement of the developed nation is experience on legislative issues. In the USA Congress, for example, we have people who have spent about 50 years. Also, in the UK , we have people who have spent similar years in parliament. But in Ekiti, we are very lucky to have two returning members, which equates to the point that tax payers fund spent on training all these people goes into the drain.
What do you think is the reason for this?
The reason is not far fetched. In those countries, the perception about service differs from the way we look at it in Nigeria. Here, the general belief is that you are going to the House to make money which should not be. I believe the motive for going into public service is to serve your people and not to make money.
As the chairman of the Public Petitions Committee, what are the challenges you are facing?
The committee's main challenge is that resolution passed may not be enforceable as it does not have the effect of law. l look forward to a situation whereby our resolution can be enforced as we take time to investigate certain matters. However, it becomes annoying, if our decisions is treated as a mere tissue paper.
In one of his interviews Mr. Segun Oni has faulted the merging of three universities into one and stated it was a bad move by Governor Kayode Fayemi. What is your reaction?
Mr Segun Oni is entitled to his opinion, but don't forget that Governor Fayemi did not unilaterally did it. There was a summit on the issue and the governor only accepted the recommendation of the committee which necessitated the merging of the three universities. As for me, l supported the merger because we cannot afford three universities in Ekiti for now.
Could you critically assess the performance of Governor Fayemi?
Those who know me know l am always very frank. If Dr Kayode Fayemi is not performing, l will be the first person to say it to his face, but l will say that past governors did their best, but their inability to increase the IGR and probably, the ways they handled the state, may not have allowed them to perform like the present governor. Let me say that, within a year, the governor has been able to increase our IGR. This is a great achievement. People talk of roads, but the governor has not for a day campaigned on roads because he believed that roads is the duty of a good government. Let me briefly assess our road issue. Governor Fayose constructed many roads between 2003 and 2006 before his impeachment, but those roads are death trap today, which necessitated the need for Fayemi to now embark on those projects today, which ordinarily ought not to be. Five kilometres roads are being constructed in all local governments as l speak to you. Most of our hospitals have been re-constructed and the young and elderly now enjoy free medical facility. Also, there is now social security for the elderly. Headmasters and teachers can now access loans for cars and properties. The government has commenced the provision of laptops for teachers and students in all secondary schools in Ekiti. Five thousand school leavers are being prepared for jobs during the year and above all, we now have peace in Ekiti. Workers in Ekiti now get their monthly salaries latest by 25thof the month. For the first time in the history of governance in Ekiti, there is continuation of government, despite the fact that Oni Administration was an illegal government, Dr Fayemi did not abandon any of the projects. Look at the Assembly Complex which we now occupy, it was nearly an abandoned project, but the Fayemi Administration completed it.
No governor in Ekiti has been given the opportunity for a second term. Do you think, if Dr Fayemi decides to run for a second term, he would be given the opportunity?
Similarly, no woman have been given the opportunity to be in the Ekiti State House of Assembly, but today we have four women. No state in the federation, including the federal government, has a social security in place. Today, we have one in Ekiti. In the USA, nobody thinks Obama would be the President of USA because he is black. There is always a first time to everything. If Dr Kayode Fayemi decides to run for a second term, l would lead the team to campaign for him because he has performed to expectations and, by the grace of God, he would win a second term in office.
Could you shed light on your legislative activities?
l have been used by God to touch their lives within nine months of being in government. l have put in place a mechanism of watching achievements by what we do and what we fail to do. People have been empowered trading by procurement of tools for hair dressers, barbers and tailors. I have assisted in the payment of JAMB, WAEC and NECO forms for more than five hundred students. Part of school fees of most of our students in higher institutions have been paid and l have fulfilled most of my electioneering campaign.
Who are your godfathers in politics?
The Ilejemeje youths that trooped out enmasse on the April 26, 2011, despite losing one of them to gun shot by a PDP leader in Iludun Ekiti, a night to the election, are my godfathers in politics. These youths want a change. They trusted me and they defied all odds to cast their votes for me and they are still with me. They are my godfathers.
What is your advice to Governor Fayemi?
The Ekiti Project as contained in the eight-point agenda is his idea. He should continue with its implementation and God will give him wisdom.

Yorkshire Dales
In late July/early August a friend and I will spend a few days touring some of the Yorkshire Dales. We would like to use a town or village as a "home base" while taking day trips to other places. Harrogate appears to be having some sort of festival at that time so we need suggestions as to an alternate place to stay. My friend will be driving and only worries about getting off on little narrow roads. Help!!

Let's put this common refrain to rest~ something that I hear all the time in arguments concerning religion. It goes something like this:
" Remember, you can't prove a negative!"
Really people?
This has become much more common, especially in the arguments amongst Atheists and agnostics concerning certainty, and it really puzzles me how people can be skeptical and free-thinkers, yet take to an idea so easily and not question it. I will elaborate on this a little more once I have the time, but let me start all of those "can't prove a negative" types off with a question~ " I am not sitting at my desk." Thats a negative claim. Are you telling me that there is no way to confirm or disprove that?
Views: 1153
The rejection of a priori knowledge has historical precedent, so it's not an unreasonable stance to take, even though I consider it to be less effective than a broader view.
If I were to restate Cane's position, I would say that he is "certain in the belief that no means for proving a negative statement will be found by evidentiary means." He made a non-evidentiary prediction, not a binding conclusion, and that's valid to extent that his approach allows exclusions.
Drake, have you been following the "100% Positive" thread? http://www.atheistnexus.org/forum/topics/is-everybody-100-positive
Cane has been posting there relentlessly, refusing to acknowledge the simplest points, but rather persisting in pushing bizarre and idiosyncratic definitions, despite repeated demonstrations of his simple logical errors. He may not actually be a troll, but it is not too soon to suspect him of it.
You say, "if his approach missed something critical, then we should argue for an expansion of his ideas". We did that, repeatedly and extensively. I apologize for not being infinitely patient, but I am not an infinite being.
Cane, if you truly believe that science and logic are incompatible, then you understand neither. Again, your bizarre definition of logic is confusing you. It's impossible to do science without logic. Logic is a fundamental underpinning of the scientific enterprise. If this were not true, then scientific conclusions could not exist. Logic is how you get from hypothesis to evidence to conclusion.
And by self-negating proposition, I mean simply that if the proposition is true, it must be false. Which is definitely the case with "you cannot prove a negative". This statement is itself a negative. For it to be true, it would have to be false. This is not the kind of thing you want to base your reasoning on.
Hi Jason,
I actually find that to be a fairly cheap evasion. First of all, I think you're blurring the line between something being true and something being proven true. For instance, the statement "you cannot prove a negative" may well be true. This does not create a logical contradiction unless you actually claim that you can prove the statement "you cannot prove a negative".
This is analogous to our inability to prove certain mathematical theorems, despite them being almost certainly true. The inability to prove something is distinct from whether or not it is actually true. And the same goes for many subjective facts about us.
Besides, the whole business of self-negating statements gets fuzzy anyway.
One of the ones I often hear is the comeback to "Absolute knowledge does not exist.", which is "Is that an absolute claim?". But it's cheap: that statement may well be absolutely true, despite our logical inability to hold it as an absolute.
I find "You cannot prove a negative." to be a perfectly intelligible statement.
You do not understand what I mean by prove. To prove something exists, I need evidence. You don't. To prove a negative with evidence cannot be done because when your fruitless search ends, you can say the evidence is still yet to be found.
But if you prove with evidence that A exists, then not A is also proven by that evidence. So if you prove with evidence X, what would X have to be so that you prove god does not exist. X is a myth so far but I believe attainable.
We disagree on what proof is, on what Identity is, on what knowledge is, so I do not think being a troll in your opinion is such a bad thing. We have a very different view of the world and my view is as valid as yours.
I do not see where my "mistakes" are. I do agree that I have a belief that you cannot prove a negative. And you have not proven to me that your identities and priori knowledge are more than agreed upon definitions you call knowledge.
Cane, please! You say, "To prove something exists, I need evidence. You don't." This is simply not the case. Michael and I have repeatedly agreed with you that to prove something exists, you need evidence. Our assertion is that to prove something doesn't exist, you need only prove that it is logically contradictory/impossible. Can you truly not grasp the difference? Or are you doing this on purpose? Can you see why I have lost my patience with you? If you won't even bother to notice where we do actually agree, what is the point of discussion? At minimum, Cane, you need to get this distinction and apologize for putting words in our mouths.
And when you say, "We have a very different view of the world and my view is as valid as yours," this is simply postmodernist relativism, which is definitely logically self-negating. If all views are equally valid then so is the view that not all views are equally valid. If it's true it's false. One of us is wrong about certain areas of disagreement, and I'm inclined to think it's the one making up his own idiosyncratic definitions of things like logic and belief, rejecting more mainstream definitions. If you go around using home-grown definitions for common words, you are unlikely to properly understand the world, let alone make yourself understood by others.
Perhaps these two flagrant examples of your mistakes will give you some clue about why we are having such difficulty, but I'm not holding my breath.
Ok, I forgot that you agree with me on evidence being required to prove something exists. Mistake number one. I admit it.
I must also apologize for frustrating you folks. I am frustrated as well. We cannot seem to get our ideas across to each other, but I will try again.
What does not sit well with me is that you can prove (without evidence) that something contradictory is impossible. Logically and without evidence, you are just calling a definition wrong. I do not see how your contention that it is impossible really means anything. I agree that something contradictory to what it means to exist cannot exist itself, but that is a definition, not proof. I do not understand your definition of proof. For me, proof is provided by evidence.
Cane, you don't think it strange that you reject the entire class of logical proof? Mathematical proof, geometric proof? None of these things require evidence, only logical reasoning from axioms. To say these are not proofs is to simply disregard a standard definition of the word in favor of your own idiosyncratic definition. Why would you think that is acceptable?
Many things are disproven by definition. That's pretty much what we're talking about here. If you define things such that they contain logical contradictions, then they can't exist--they contain their own disproof within their definitions. Again, no evidence is required. You can call these "wrong definitions", but if these are the definitions that most people are using regarding these entities, then "wrong definitions" are the crux of the problem. Further, "wrong definitions", by definition, can't exist. It's silly to think that they might. If the gods worshipped by actual humans are illogical as the worshippers themselves define them, then whatever they are worshipping, it isn't what they think it is. They might be worshipping something else that could possibly exist, and maybe that is what you are saying, but they can't possibly be referring to a real entity with "wrong definitions".
I see a small indication that you understand me even though you do not agree with me.
I would like to offer you my understanding of what a definition is and I would like you to compare it with your understanding of what identity is.
To me definitions are just descriptions that evidence could match or not.
I will tell you why I ask you this: I agree that something defined wrong cannot have matching evidence, so it can not and does not exist. Can I get to the same conclusions you arrive at with my understanding of definition as you do with your understanding of identity? If not, why not?

I must say, that facial study from reference is fantastic! so expressive! and done in ink right? quite a scary medium if you ask me. Nice to see you've been outright bold from the offset. Keep going! don't forget about the humble pencil too, do some studies and you'll find other areas improve.

Boys Noize Kicks Off American OUT OF THE BLACK Tour in Fort Lauderdale Today, 11/23
In anticipation of the first ever live 23 date American tour presented by HARD, Berlin's Boys Noize shares a video which shows a glimps of the so-called 'The Trail Of Rave' which is currently happening in Europe. See the live video, which is filmed and edited by Sodakat HERE via Vice's Noisey.
On Boys Noize's third album Out Of The Black, which came out last month via his own label Boysnoize Records, Alexander Ridha returns with his most proud and critically acclaimed album to date.
Some stand out tracks on the album are the singles "What You Want", "XTC", "Reality", and Snoop Dogg quoted the album closer "Got It" as "Classic Snoop ishh" sounding. On "Ich R U" Boys Noize shows his funky, future-disco, robotic side or as he explains it; "Ich R U" is probably the most melodic one on my new album. If you know some of my tracks like "Yeah", "Jeffer" or "Shine Shine" ...it has that sort of vibe."
"It surprises me that friends or fans sometimes prefer the melodic or softer stuff I do, especially on my remixes and I think "Ich R U" is obviously more of a softer one - but it's still super funky and Disco6000. Again, it has robot vocals, which I prefer to the human one, haha..."
See the Patrick Jean & Sebastien Loghman directed video for "Ich R U" HERE.

Outer Island ExpeditionsRead MoreOuter Island Expeditions' fleet of kayaks and boats safely cruises at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour through frothy crests ebbing amid the striking sights and wildlife of the San Juan islands. Venturing as far as 50 miles into Canadian waters, whale-watching excursions foster personal rapport between patrons and boat-side orcas, gray whales, or humpback whales trying to learn human etiquette for future espionage missions. Tours of Stuart Island's Turn Point lighthouse begin aboard a 22-foot Kodiak skiff, which buoys patrons through 16 miles of waters inhabited by sea lions and porpoises before they disembark and hike to the lighthouse's historical museum. Fishing charters set sail in search of ocean creatures and potable salt water from all of Outer Island Expeditions' four launch points: Smuggler's Villa Resort, Semiahmoo Resort, Lopez Island, and The Willows on Lummi Island. Fishing is the only sport where you're allowed to consume your opponent, not counting baseball before 1971. Catch a bite with this Groupon. Morning and afternoon [trips](http://www.outerislandx.com/CharterFishing.php) depart from [Orcas Island](http://gr.pn/wERLBM) and run for about 3–6 hours. Admission pricing is per person, but each boat holds up to 6 people. Salmon fishing trips—held now until April 30, and July 1 until October 15—require the most patience, as catching silver and king salmon can be a waiting game. But fisherman of all levels—including children as young as 4—can easily snag a fish during bottom-fishing trips, which run from May 1 until June 30. All necessary gear is provided.54 Hunt RoadEastsound, WA US
Langley DivingRead MoreLangley Diving lures surface dwellers to exclusive underwater soirees through the deluxe diving experience. The adventure into the underwater breathing begins with properly fitting into scuba gear and sprouting flippers before Langley's PADI-certified instructors present a brief explanation of safety scuba-equipment usage. At the pool, enjoy one hour of supervised underwater time and practice the basics of scuba-diving technique. Langley Diving also snaps an underwater photo commemorating each diver's "first breath" underwater. The entire deluxe diving experience typically lasts three hours, start to finish?and while students won't be certified to dive just from one class, they will be certified to sit in puddles with scuba gear on.20055 Willowbrook DriveLangley, BC CA

This night course is just one of 15 different specialty courses offered by UBC Aqua Facility, a non-profit organization that has helped its community explore subaquatic worlds for more than 50 years. In addition to its specialty programs, the facility offers learn-to-dive courses for beginners, as well as rescue classes that prepare students to retrieve people that can't swim or the perfectly good burrito they threw overboard in a regretful fit of rage. Through it all, the business maintains a laid-back, yet professional attitude, evidenced especially by its frequent social gatherings for club members.6138 Sub Blvd.Vancouver, BC CA

Please, hold the door, the Carrotmob is coming. If you are among the un-indoctrinated, please allow me to introduce you to the Carrotmob. "Carrotmob is a type of consumer activism in which businesses compete at how socially responsible they can be, and then a network of consumers spends money to support whichever business makes the strongest offer." According to Brian Byrnes, regular contributor to CNN.com and author of "Argentine 'Carrotmob' stick up for green business" they are a "global movement that is built on the 'carrot-or-the-stick' concept. Carrotmob rewards -- rather than punishes -- small businesses for employing sustainable practices. Essentially, a Carrotmob is the opposite of a boycott." Although the Carrotmob operates in the commercial sphere, they are working to increase, so called, public goods with other stakeholders in their community. Activities like those undertaken by the Carrotmob are an example of creative coalition building and help to begin to address one of the challenges of fostering a collective identity, maintaining both internal and external political efficacy.
I couldn't have been further away from Sudan last week - sipping fine green tea in a London private members' club - but Sudan was one topic of conversation. I stumbled upon an organisation about to set up a development bank in the South of the country and, with a keen understanding of the operational environment, the focus will be on microfinance. Our discussion was just one of many I have had lately about the crucial role business plays in development and as I dip my toe (or ear) into the world of development communications, I meet more and more people who (like me) have Ashraf Ghani and Clare Lockhart's cherished book "Fixing Failed States" tucked into their coats. Paddy Doherty of the above-mentioned development bank sums it up simply - "profitability ensures sustainability".
This past Sunday, at an event co-hosted by the Hüsnü M. Özyegin Foundation, global business leaders came together to discuss the impacts of the ongoing economic crisis on women. The event culminated in the announcement of several new partnerships to support women around the world.
Highlights of the new partnerships and initiatives announced at the event include:
|An IFC investment helps provide clean, affordable water to underserved communities in developing countries.
Many of the measures proposed in the World Development Report (WDR) 2010 will require substantial engagement with the private sector. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change has estimated that more than 80 percent of the investment required for climate change mitigation and adaptation will have to be privately financed. For this to happen, the key requirement will be meaningful targets and supportive public policies.
One area in which private initiative will be critical is in the development and dissemination of new climate friendly technology. As the advance edition of the WDR states, "Technological innovation and its associated institutional adjustments are key to managing climate change at reasonable cost. . . . Mobilizing technology and fostering innovation on an adequate scale will require that countries not only cooperate and pool their resources but also craft domestic policies that promote a supportive knowledge infrastructure and business environment."
For several reasons, an increased focus on accelerating new technology is urgently needed.
From now on, there will be need to be a more nuanced relationship between public and private sectors to sustain growth, and regional sources of growth will become more diversified. These are two of the conclusions of MIGA's discussion panel on the post crisis outlook held on October 4 in Istanbul.
A panel of international experts, including the Colombian Minister of Finance Mr. Oscar Ivan Zuluage, MIGA's Executive Vice-President Izumi Kobayashi, and Nick Rouse, Managing Director of Frontier Markets Fund Managers, agreed on some aspects of the vision going forward, but had differing views on others.
Taking on a more proactive, energetic role, public authorities worldwide have played a large role in limiting the downside of last year's financial crisis, they agreed. In Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the International Financial Institutions Initiative (in which MIGA participated) to support recapitalization of these countries' banks drew mention as one example of this type of successful multilateral intervention.
The author, Kwasi Owusu Gyeabour, won third place in an international youth essay competition sponsored by the World Bank and other partners. He answered the question "How can you tackle climate change through youth-led solutions?" The awards were announced in Seoul in June, 2009.
"There is never a time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment, the time is always now." -James Baldwin (1924 - 1987) Nobody Knows My Name, "Faulkner and Desegregation"
It is a privilege to be called on to share ideas on issues of our time, issues that can be solved through youthful action. In my essay, "Greening the Ghanaian Youth" I proposed several ideas that would help tackle climate change. Here is a sample of the ones I consider most practical.
Youth action at the community level is the most potent force in our fight against rapid climate change. So I proposed the establishment of a Green Sector Mutual Fund. This community-based fund will invest in firms that operate in the green/environmental sector. Now I consider this feasible because I have friends who have established mutual funds such as the University of Ghana Campus Mutual Fund which have turned out successful. The success of a fund mostly depends on factors such as advertising and the prestige and market reach of the fund managers. Most asset management firms these days would jump at the opportunity to manage something ethical just to create a sense of social responsibility and goodwill.

A disastrous Spring Training just got worse for the Bronx Bombers. The New York Yankees will enter the new Major League Baseball season with a significantly depleted lineup. Long term injuries to key players like Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, and Mark Teixeira have the Yankees in an unusually vulnerable position and according to the Associated Press, their captain Derek Jeter, who is still recovering from a broken ankle, will not be ready for Opening Day. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says injured shortstop Derek Jeter probably won't be ready for opening day. Cashman said Sunday it's "more likely than not" Jeter will start the regular season on the disabled list because of ankle soreness. Cashman says the Yankees' captain was a little sore Sunday, one day after getting four at-bats as the designated hitter in a minor league exhibition game. The 38-year-old Jeter received an anti-inflammatory injection Wednesday. He had surgery for a broken left ankle last October. Cashman says Jeter will not play in a minor league game for at least the next couple days. The Yankees are in a world of hurt right now. They had an underwhelming off-season by their standards, opting not to sign any big names in free agency in an effort to stay under their payroll target of $189 million for next season. They'll have to rely heavily on their pitching rotation for results early in the season. The AL East is the strongest and most unforgiving division in baseball, so don't be surprised if the Bombers are knocked out of the playoff race early, but then again don't be surprised if their championship pedigree overcomes these obstacles.

Great rug
This rug is great in our front porch. The color is perfect to complement the greenery and it feels kind of soft, for an outdoor rug. We're very happy with it.Read More
Color and Texture
I bought both a runner and 8x10 and opened the runner first. The colors are nice but not what I expected or needed. The green is not as olive or "army green" as I expected. It seems greener than that. The beige is very beige not nearly as bright or as much of a contrast as in this picture. One end of the runner was defected but had they both been done right it would be a nice rug. It is very thin with no "plush" almost like a hard crochet but that is to be expected with an outdoor rug. I am considering keeping this for our playroom because the green matches our green couch but it lacks a bright appeal that chevron usually offers so it will require the floors to be painted a bone color. This dim colors might make it more masculine chevron and might be a great choice if if your looking for that.Read More
Hard to roll out
We were excited for this indoor/outdoor rug as we were adding a puppy to the family soon and wanted something that would clean up well. We've had it rolled out in our family room area for 3 weeks now, and it still wants to wrinkle back to the rolled shape it was when it came. We haven't really gotten a chance to use it since we have various heavy pieces of furniture still on it to try to keep it flat. I would not get this rug again if I had the option. The picture is true to its color and the material is soft enough that you can sit on it, and it doesn't blatantly feel like an outdoor material.Read More
Great stylish rug to update your space for not much money! I have bought several of this brand rugs and used them indoors as well and just love them, spots totally come out. The only thing is that the colors appear a little different on the screen. I have the green and it is on the olive side which is what I wanted. I have bought other greens from this manufacturer and the green has been mint green which i was not looking for?Read More
Questions & Answers
It fit our needs on the front porch. My wife liked it.
What is the care for this rug? Can it go in the washing machine?
Hello carolinendrew, This rug is so beautiful! Vacuum your rug at least once a week. Get a professional cleaning done every one to two years. Blot spills as quickly as possible with a white cloth; then spot treat. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
The rug colors look closer to tan and bone in the pictures I am viewing. is this rug really beige and green?
Hello, fldeziner. Hope your day is going well. Yes, the colors do look more like gold and tan. However, this item is a shade of green and beige. Online colors are always altered due to lighting, reflection and the natural differences in color monitors. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

Zenner agreed that those seasons are particularly busy, with The Costumer typically renting out about 150 Santa suits and 100 bunny suits.
Zenner said renting is a huge part of his business, and that The Costumer rents to adults and children. Halloween Hall only rents to adults.
Renting costumes can become a form of repeat business for the shops as well. Zenner said many "Santas" who are pleased with the suits they rented one year will reserve the same costume for the following year -- up to a year in advance.
Both costume shop owners said that other big-business times for them occur around the Fourth of July, when parades are common, and holidays such as St. Patrick's Day, when many like to dress up as leprechauns.
"We get a lot of business from school-aged children," said Myers, who said that many schools require students to dress up as past presidents while presenting a report they had written.
"Quite often we bail out frantic parents when their kid has to look like George Washington," she said.
The slowest time of year for the costume shops is the summer, when holidays are scarce and reasons to put on extra clothing, let alone costumes, are few and far between. But summer is also the time when many costume shop owners get their inspiration for what costumes to order for the upcoming Halloween.
Myers said, this year she was expecting the Joker, from "Batman: The Dark Knight," to be a very popular costume.
"Had Halloween been in June, you wouldn't be able to keep them on the shelf," she said.
But, according to Myers, by the time Halloween does roll around people are more interested in dressing up as the characters that they have seen on the big screen most recently.
Popular in both stores this year are Star Wars character costumes, which came as a surprise to both owners.
Another costume niche that is growing in popularity, according to Zenner, is pet costumes.
"You see a lot of people getting a Darth Vader costume for their dog, or a superhero," he said.
And, as seen in every election year, Myers said, this year, many trick-or-treaters will be wearing masks of the faces of presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. When asked which mask was selling more, Myers said, "I'm not going to say. You'll have to see in November."

What could be better than traveling through the homelands of many of the greatest musical minds the world has ever known? Traveling and performing the works of these great composers in the venues for which they were written. This is exactly what the University of South Dakota Chamber Singers and a party of alumni travelers did during spring break 2015.
The reasons students choose to study abroad are as unique as each individual. Many know as early as high school they will embark upon that adventure; others don't realize it until they are immersed in collegiate studies.

If you believe your cymbal has a factory defect: 1. Contact Zildjian to obtain a Return Authorization number (RA#), via telephone: 781-871-2200.
2. Indicate the location of the damage on the cymbal with a piece of tape.
3. Make a photocopy of your original numbered and dated sales receipt.
4. Carefully package your cymbal. Include your RA# and the photocopy of your sales receipt in the box.
5. Ship the package to:

Pro Coverage includes:
Got the 22", it weighs 2600+ grams...a bit on the heavy side for a constantinople medium. Being a constantinople, it has a warm complex wash, and a woody click that sticks out (no pun intended) :) very versatile for studio work. It won't cut through on loud gigs but would work well on funk / rock gigs. Would be a decent choice for acoustic jazz, but you'd be better off with a lighter cymbal if you're looking for something solely for low volume situations. Apart from the price, I can't think of anything bad to say about the kcon medium!
This cymbals is the opposite of your shinning light. You find it in the back of a cave half buried in the ground. The over-hammered Constantinople creates a very earthy/dirty sound with an extremely dark, "thick bell". Perfect for experimental combo jazz it gives good definition and a beautiful dark wash. Given in a natural finish. it still gives off a shine of its own unique properties.
the constantinople series cymbals are some of the most musical cymbals on the market. My school uses these ride cymbals for concert percussion and in the marching band front ensemble. they generate a warm sound and are wonderful for swells. i wouldn't recommend these for drum set however. they sustain for what seems like forever, which i personally do not like for a ride sound. but in ensemble settings, these cymbals soar!

? If prevention is not possible, your legal right to defend yourself ... in one sentence;
? The one and only strike needed to stop even a drugged assailant;
? One additional choice to survive a gun or knife attack;
? Why most self-defense products do not work;
? How to empower your family with these life-saving tools to stop nagging "worry" and self doubt,
? Finally, feel confident about your rights and natural ability to save yourself ... on and off duty!
This class will be presented from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. March 7 at Frame USA, 225 Northland Blvd.. EmpowerU is suggesting a $10 contribution at the door to defer the cost of the speakers.

Hicks: '100 percent' of owners want cost certainty
Updated: February 12, 2005, 6:26 PM ETESPN.com news services
Mario Lemieux is optimistic part of the season can be saved. Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks is not.
Lemieux, himself an owner, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he hasn't given up hope, despite many signs pointing to the season's cancellation.
"I think they'll figure out a way to make a deal," he told the Post-Gazette. "It would be devastating not to play this season, for everybody involved. The fans and the game in general. The business, especially. A lot of people are going to ...

It could be better, but it's average.
There are only a handful of gay/lesbian people on campus, but we do have a S.A.F.E. club here on campus that is definitely having an impact on the way gays and lesbians are treated here. Its the South, so that means people around here are a little less accepting than people from the west would be. Racial diversity is not really applicable, we do have international students but for the most part the campus is African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic.
There are many people from many different countries and backgrounds at my school.
People at Newberry when they come to visit notice how close the whole school is and how we are like a big family.
The are a lot of ethnic groups that are attend our school with is very cool.

GM and NASA Engineers Prepare R2 for Space Duty
Technology on R2 plays role in future GM vehicle safety systems development
HOUSTON – The countdown continues as General Motors and NASA engineers prepare Robonaut 2 for its planned fall mission to the International Space Station aboard the space shuttle Discovery.
GM and NASA engineering teams are validating some of the key technologies on the humanoid robot, including advanced sensor and vision systems.
GM engineers on site at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, are sharing their results with colleagues at GM's Technical Center in Warren, Mich., so teams working on tomorrow's Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac cars and trucks can develop innovative safety technologies that will keep customers safe in the future.
Manufacturing engineers in GM's Research and Development operations also plan to use the findings to help develop future technologies that can make plants safer for workers at GM's global manufacturing facilities.
R2's technologies have real-world applications for sensor development, such as possible enhancements to lane departure warning, side blind zone alert, adaptive cruise control and rear park assist.
GM and NASA engineers have been working together on the R2 program since 2007. The advanced robotics partnership has generated 34 patents to date.
GM and NASA engineers are currently performing various test and upgrade procedures to prepare R2 for his mission, while laying the groundwork for adoption of R2's various technologies in GM's next generation of cars and trucks.

Do you enjoy running, competing, and being part of a team? Then become part of the girls and boys cross country teams at Avon Middle School South. Click on the link below for information.
For your Student's Online Summer Assignment in Destination Success and access to Pearson Successnet, please visit http://www.avon-schools.org/Page/7693.
When the school year begins in 2015, students in 6th, 8th and 9th grades will receive a laptop computer for classroom instruction. In the 2016-17 school year, STEP-UP will expand to include all students in 5th through 12th grades.
"We are excited to bring the STEP-UP Program to our schools," said ACSC Technology Director Jason Brames. "Technology based tools offer greater opportunities for collaborative learning and will enhance teaching and learning in our schools."
ACSC teachers are receiving specialized professional development and will use up-to-date technology curriculum in the classroom. When students receive their computers, they will receive age-appropriate instruction regarding digital citizenship. Parent education sessions will be held at the schools for Avon families to ensure a smooth transition to STEP-UP.
To learn more about the STEP-UP Program, please visit www.avon-schools.org/stepup. There is a video, FAQ and other details to assist Avon families.
The NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Foundation has recognized Avon Community School Corporation (ACSC) for its outstanding commitment to music education with a Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) designation. ACSC joins 388 districts across the country (and one of only eight in the state of Indiana) in receiving the prestigious distinction in 2015. There are currently 13,588 school districts with music programs.
Now in its 16th year, Best Communities for Music Education affirms school districts that have demonstrated exceptional efforts toward maintaining music education as part of the schools' core curriculum.
Avon Community School Corporation's performing arts program serves students in grades K-12 in 12 buildings. With a staff of 18 music educators, ACSC serves almost 7,500 students daily in a performing arts course. Curricular courses include general music, band, choir, orchestra, music theory and composition, keyboarding and percussion ensemble. Extra-curricular programs include Marching Band, Jazz Band, Show Choir, Honor Ensembles (6th, 7th and 8th grade levels), along with specialty ensembles for all instruments.
The BCME survey requires districts to answer detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by The Center for Public Partnerships and Research, an affiliate of the University of Kansas.
The announcement of this year's Best Communities for Music Education designation brings attention to the importance of keeping music education as part of schools' core education and music's vital role in student success in school.
ACSC students are excelling in Music Education. Three ensembles of the Avon Performing Arts Program have been invited to the prestigious Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic later this year. This will include the Avon Middle School Chamber Orchestra (Grades 7 and 8), the Avon Saxophone Orchestra (Grade 9-12) and the Avon Brass Choir (Grade 9-12). The Avon Performing Arts program continues to grow by providing collaboration between art and music, music and dance, and several other venues. The high school Performing Arts Department will travel to New York City in May for a performance.
Community music programs have been drawing increased attention this school year because of a landmark study by Northwestern University brain scientists. These researchers found new links between students in community music programs and academic success in subjects such as reading. Beyond the Northwestern study, other reports indicate that learning to play music can boost academic and social skills, such as processing math and learning to cooperate in group settings. For more information about the NAMM Foundation, please visit www.nammfoundation.org.

It's not magic.
Just finding a plan isn't the answer—it's the sticking to it that counts. If for a second you question whether or not a program is healthy, chances are it's not. Focus on getting healthy—not "dieting."
Support matters.
Weight loss can be tough, and extra support helps. Starting a program with another person can help motivate both of you to stick to the program. However, even if you don't have someone who can start WITH you, having someone support you and understand matters.
One pound per week IS enough.
It took time to put those pounds on, it will take time to get them off. Don't be discouraged if you hear of people losing multiple pounds a week while you are not—1 per week IS enough!
Exercise isn't optional (but it also doesn't mean hours drenched in sweat!)
If a diet promises that you will lose weight without exercising, save your money and buy a gym membership. Healthy meals and regular exercise are the keys to achieving your goals. But that doesn't mean you must be drenched in sweat daily. Walking is a fine form of exercise and it's the extra fitness that counts.
Weight loss isn't about dieting.
This is a change in the way you eat and approach food. A diet is something you "go off of" for a few days, for the holidays, or because you're feeling blue. Don't think of it that way. And, if you happen to have a not-so-healthy snack, just get back into your healthy habits again right away. There's no reason to lose sleep over eating one cookie, but make your love of good, health-promoting foods a daily habit, not a hobby.

Unsurpassed Gem 1891-O Quarter1891-O MS 65 PCGS. The '91-O quarter is a true rarity in all grades. Despite the surplus of large coins during this era, merchants were crying for enough minor coinage to conduct business, and the New Orleans mint was again tasked to produce dimes and quarters for the first time since 1860. Millions of dimes were produced, but only a paltry 68,000 quarters, most of which disappeared into circulation. Two alleged proof pieces were struck to commemorate the mint's return to quarter production, and it is reasonable to believe that as most of the known mint state pieces are prooflike, they were pulled relatively early in the die run and kept as mementoes. Briggs rates the 1892-O as a High R.6 in any mint state grade. This piece is one of just two graded by PCGS (5/97) with none finer. Essentially brilliant with a light gray-gold cast, this lovely example is sharply struck with a light cameo contrast against the typical prooflike surfaces, and clearly merits the gem status assigned. A stellar opportunity to acquire a top-of-the-line rarity. (NGC ID# 23VS, PCGS# 5525)
