Park University is an independent, private institution founded as Park College in 1875 by Dr. John A. McAfee and Colonel George S. Park. The University has a 135-year history of providing access to education for the traditional and non-traditional student alike. With an average enrollment of 2,000 students attending classes at the flagship campus in Parkville, MO and approximately 60,000 alumni recognizing the Parkville Campus as the spiritual home of their alma matter, the home campus remains at the heart of the University's growth over the years. Park currently enjoys a distinguished position in higher education as a growing entrepreneurial institution with enrolling an average 11,000 students at 40 campus centers in 21 states, including our extensive online program. The mission of Park University is to provide access to academic excellence which will prepare learners to think critically, communicate effectively, and engage in lifelong learning while serving a global community.
The majority of the University's traditional students attend classes on the Parkville Campus which also serves as the academic and administrative home to the institution nationwide. Roughly 75% of our undergraduate students take at least some of their coursework through one of our campus centers and nearly 60% of all of our students take at least one course online annually.
The Ellen Finley Earhart Nursing Program at Park University, initiated in 1987, is designed to provide career mobility for the Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) seeking to transition into the role of the Registered Nurse (RN). Our accelerated degree program enables a qualified LPN to obtain an Associate Degree in Nursing in 10 months. In addition, graduates are prepared to take the Registered Nurse Licensure Exam and pursue a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Students already working with an A.D.N. can complete an online-only B.S.N. completion program.
The Nursing Program always has the short term goal of maintaining or improving our students' ability to become licensed upon graduation, which requires passing licensure exams. Over the past five years, more than 95% of our students have consistently passed their licensure exam. The Program aims to continue to meet or exceed our students' track record of success. Most importantly, the program is transitioning to a four-year B.S.N. degree granting program. We are currently seeking ACEN accreditation for a 100 student B.S.N. program to accept students for Fall 2016.
Long term success of the Ellen Finley Earhart Nursing Program will be determined by the University's ability to provide more career development opportunities for alumni and by its ability to serve a greater number of students in years to come.
Program success is monitored by several metrics including: 1) Enrollment numbers, or the number of students who value private education at Park and want to graduate from the Ellen Finley Earhart Nursing Program. 2) Student's learning outcomes, or the measures by which Nursing Program faculty determine how much students are learning and how well they are mastering new content. 3) Accreditation, which helps gauge consistent quality of both courses and clinical experiences so our students gain the hands-on experience they will in real-life patient care situations. 4) Park student's pass rates on licensure exams, which helps faculty monitor how well Park courses prepare students to obtain their license and become practicing RNs.
The Program has been so successful in recent years, that even with a recent expansion, the University has more qualified applicants annually than we can accept into the program. The stage is set for additional growth and continued excellence as Park prepares to transition to a full four-year B.S.N. program with increased faculty and improved facilities. students to fill critical vacancies in the workforce doing a job that's important to us all: caring for patients. The Nursing Program is also a member of the National League for Nursing and accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.
The International Center for Music (ICM) offers the following degrees and certificates:Master of Music in Piano/String Performance, Graduate Certificate in Music Performance, Graduate Artist Diploma in Music Performance, Bachelor of Arts in Music and an Undergraduate Artist Certificate in Music Performance, which is a two-year certificate program designed for students pursuing a non-degree course of study concentrating on performance. Park students receive individualized instruction on multiple music genres ranging from classical to jazz, including music by living composers.
The International Center for Music will continue to attract and educate talented young musicians who launch their musical careers at Park University. Current and future students will continue to receive international music competition awards and other national and international recognition for their performances.
The International Center for Music's long term success will be judged in part by the increased number of full-tuition scholarships the University is able to provide its student musicians. This will ensure that student admission is based solely on artistic promise, which in turn, will foster better audience development for the Center's concert series in the future.
Stanislav Ioudenitch, Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Gold Medalist, now directs the Center and envisions elevating the already impressive reputation of the Center to the highest possible standard of musical performance. Ultimately the success of the International Center for Music is monitored by our students' level of performance in their studios and on stage, especially as our students continue to attract more dedicated audience members.
The Park Warrior Center (PWC) embodies Park's commitment to our nation's "wounded warriors" injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring. The Center is designed to holistically assist returning service members with physical and mental health disabilities as they work towards accomplishing their educational and career goals. The PWC provides:
Short term goals for the Park Warrior Center include:
Long-term, the PWC will help countless servicemembers who were injured in the course of duty to transition from military life into higher education, transition to the degree program of their choice, complete that degree program, and go on to begin their chosen profession with the knowledge and tools necessary for success.
Additional long term goals include:
The success of the Park Warrior Center is measured by course completion rates, program persistence rates, and student surveys administered before and after enrollment to gauge students' progress towards their personal educational and career goals. As more and more students enroll in the PWC, the center will also have enough data to measure success by matriculation and graduation rates.
While the number of casualties in recent conflicts has gone down, the number of servicemembers returning from duty either physically or mentally changed is on the rise. According to statistics from the Department of Defense, 98% of troops seeking help for emotional issues are returned back to their units. Soldiers who serve on multiple tours are 50% more likely to develop acute combat stress.
The PWC is helping these students adjust to the demands of higher education by providing them the assistance they need to overcome obstacles to their success. At present, 90% of students in the PWC have PTSD and have access to additional resources specific to their needs. Nearly 3 out of 4 PWC students have a VA certified disability rating over 30% and will require some kind of disability support for the rest of their lives. These students are enrolled in Park's accelerated online classes, which, University wide, have a 93% pass rate for students who make it to the add/drop date.

Ummmm I think we can all agree Chapman is nasty.
Are we currently watching the nastiest arm in the history of this franchise?
I'm concerned it is getting too late for Masset to ramp it up into top form this year.

We're good again. Finally.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Thank the lord, we got a win.

Alien Nation fans?
There's gotta be a couple people here who remember this great series. As science fiction, it's a bit silly. Then again it was stuck with some of the nonsense introduced in the feature film. Still, Ken Johnson and his writers produced some pretty decent episodes and one really good TV movie.
I picked up the complete series on DVD and then the complete TV movie collection (all five post-series TV movies). Unfortunately, the movies get progressively worse, but the first one, Dark Horizon, is actually pretty powerful, despite being stuck with having to spend the first half of the movie having to wrap up the final episode cliffhanger (and despite the four year gap between the final episode and Dark Horizon forcing them to retcon a good chunk of the backstory).
So, any other fans of George and the slags?

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 1/6/13
NFL insider Jason La Canfora reports that the Cardinals are set to interview current Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden for their vacant head coaching position. The Cardinals had been favorites to land Andy Reid as their next head coach, but since then they have remained quiet. The team will interview Gruden this week after the Bengals were eliminated from the playoffs for the second year in a row by the Houston Texans. Gruden had declined to take head coaching interviews last year, but will be doing so this season after having emerged as a candidate for several teams. Gruden had previously worked with his brother, Jon, in Tampa and has had head coaching experience as a successful coach in the Arena Football League. One of Gruden's biggest assets is his work with young QB Andy Dalton. Gruden has gotten results from Dalton who has twice reached the playoffs in his two years in the league which included a Pro Bowl invite during his rookie season. Saturday's loss to the Texans didn't help Gruden's overall impression on the national stage, but teams still appear to be interested as the Eagles are also expected to interview him at some point. The post Report: Cardinals To Interview Bengals OC Jay Gruden For Head Coaching Spot appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

He said it was unfair to hold the police responsible for all the wrongs and every citizen must realize a and do his duty. "Crimes take place in other states too. Delhi has one of the highest crime rates in the country. I don't claim that Punjab is a crime free state but we are much better off," he said, adding that the state police had been asked to work swiftly in gender related crimes. He expressed his concern over the occurrence of rape cases stating that it was 'highly condemnable'.
Asked if the government would ban lewd singing, he said that that the government was serious about the matter.
"We are contemplating measures on our part, but at the same everyone should introspect as to what impact his actions are having on the society," he added.
Later, the chief minister paid a surprise visit to Mahilpur civil hospital to get a feel of the working conditions. He was told that the posts of senior medical officer (SMO) and gynaecologist were lying vacant and there was shortage of dental material, medicines and X-Ray films.
The patients too came up with some complaints. The CM admitted that shortage of doctors was affecting health services, but claimed that the right candidates were just not available. He said the government was trying its best to provide as many facilities as possible to government health institutions.

Miami Marlins broadcaster Cookie Rojas is a baseball lifer who has seen Ozzie Guillen backpedal before from outlandish statements that provoked outrage. Rojas says last week's emotional apology by Guillen was different, because the manager was sincerely contrite and deserves to be forgiven. Although the Havana-born Rojas is ready to move on, other Cuban-Americans may not be. The extent of lingering acrimony toward Guillen can be gauged Tuesday, when the Marlins manager returns from a five-game suspension The team imposed the punishment after comments by Guillen praising Fidel Castro angered South Florida's Cuban-Americans, who happen to make up a large chunk of the Marlins' fan base.

This is the era of electronics. This is surely the contribution of modernization. We are living in this era of electronics. Today robot is another surprise to everyone because robots can do something special that normal person cannot do with that efficiency. So in every phase, robots are employed to do difficult commands. But today, those robots are used for misconducts. They are used for many bad things.
We all are already known about the Search Engine Optimization or SEO. This is a new thing that adds up to the general misconducts online. Robots are today set up in front of computers to find out the critically designed information. So anyone can easily find out certain level information about anything by setting up the robots. But this is not so easy too. The robotic problem is known by all. So the website designers are now more cautious about it. They do not want to leave the responsibilities and the power to manipulate information to the robots. They want it done by manually.
Another problem with robot is that, robots can find out the directory which is original and robots can easily find out the root of the websites. The problem with root finding is so problematic seriously. Because the problems cannot be solved so easily as it is found out easily through the robots. If the root is found the contents of the original websites can be easily copied and they can get everything to copy.
So to prevent this robotic problem, the website designer designs the websites in such system that robots cannot access those websites. In the entrance of the website, a code is wanted to know. The code is always not the same. There are some blur or newly organized bar code wanted to know. Sometimes an audio capture is wanted to write after hearing so robotic problems are also secured more or less through the robot exclusion system. The common system used for the robot exclusion is Meta tag.
Meta tag is a special type of tag which is used to detect the robotic analysis. It prevents robots access. So the websites are now more secured than before. The robotic gestures can be taken into control those Meta tags within some years but experts are researching on it in order to control the Meta tag influence of the websites. Robotic influence is not so much influential in some special cases. The security of the websites is now rough and tougher from before. The central system more or less controls everything. But some experts are also researching on the modern robots.

In 1842, Johnsons Park was a farm where escaped slave Caroline Quarlls stayed, marking the start of the Underground Railroad in the area. A century after that pocket of the city harbored slaves seeking freedom, and a generation after homes in the neighborhood were razed to make way for a freeway, dislocation remains an ongoing issue for many living and working in and around a swath of Fond du Lac Ave., according to the organizers of a community-driven, yearlong public art project.
The public art initiative along 20 blocks of Fond du Lac Ave., between N. 17th and 37th streets, is designed to help Milwaukeeans rediscover this once vital artery and its history while engaging with artists and each other.
"Art on Fond du Lac," organized by In:Site, a group that curated and fosters temporary public art, will feature temporary art projects by nine artists. Joseph Reeves is bringing the words of the late Mattiebelle Woods, a social activist and journalist, to brilliant life on chain-link fences. Reginald Baylor, working with dozens of volunteers and buckets of bright colored paint, created a work of art in an otherwise dark city intersection, below a wide and low railroad viaduct at W. Fond du Lac Ave. and W. Locust St.
An opening weekend for "Art on Fond du Lac" will be held Saturday and Sunday. There will be performances by Wild Space Dance Company, the North Division Boys & Girls Club, First Stage Children's Theater and student dance company Swag Prep. For a map and a complete schedule of events, go to insitemilwaukee.org.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Outside the city's core, but only a 15-20 minute tram ride to museums, galleries, parks, and entertainment at the city's center
Hotel Casa 400 is located in the Amstel district, about 20 minutes from the city center or a half hour to the airport.
Marked by cobblestone roads, street-level canals and an abundance of coffee shops (which are most often known for something other than coffee), Amsterdam is both a quiet and lively city without the pretention of European metropolises.
In the summer, visitors can enjoy live music at the Openluchttheater, an open-air venue at the Vondelpark, or the Roots Music Festival. The Gay Pride parade also takes place in the summer, and the city's many museums -- including the Van Gogh Museum or the Anne Frank House, where Frank and her family hid from the Nazis during World War 2 -- are popular year-round. Visitors in April can experience Queen's Day, which celebrates the queen's birthday and includes a massive flea market, parties, and outdoor concerts.
Noordermarkt is known for its antiques, and Brouwerij de Prael is a recommended stop for beer enthusiasts. Fun dining spots include the famous sandwich spot Van Dobben, as well as Pancake Bakery, which offers more than 70 types of pancakes and a slew of other breakfast goods.
Hotel Casa 400 is a clean, sleek spot among the cranes and scaffolding resulting from ongoing construction in the area. Situated in Amsterdam's Amstel district, the hotel is on the fringes of the city, about 15 to 20 minutes from museums and the maze of canals at the city's center. The atrium-style lobby is vast and bright with tons of windows, and colorful modular seating looks into an inner garden. It's a basic but modern property, with clean lines and minimalist decor. The rooms are mostly white with a piece or two of artwork and basic amenities (flat-screen TVs, tea kettles, and mini-fridges). They're more comfy and functional than stylish, with cozy white beds and modern all-white bathrooms. All the white can feel a bit sterile at times, but light from the windows makes the rooms feel more natural. A trendy bar and lounge upstairs features stylish seating offset by rustic wood floors. Circles, the cafe-like main restaurant, has a cool covered outdoor terrace. Bike rentals are a nice perk, as are the bunch of meeting spaces available to business guests. Because of its decentralized location, Hotel Casa 400 is perhaps more geared toward the business traveler; tourists should consider hotels closer to the main part of the city.

Just under three-fifths of Information Technology Supervisors in the United States are seasoned employees who have more than 10 years of experience in the field. Pay ranges from $43K to $108K per year, and the average comes out to $70K per year. In the world of Information Technology Supervisors, total cash compensation can vary between $43K and $108K. Each package generally includes bonuses and profit sharing proceeds, and in exceptional cases, those amounts can reach heights of $12K and $8K, respectively. Geographic location and career length each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Information Technology Supervisors. The vast majority (83 percent) of Information Technology Supervisors who answered the questionnaire are male. Medical benefits are awarded to almost all, and a large number earn dental coverage. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

Information technology (IT) supervisors, also called IT managers, are responsible for an organization's computer network. Their duties may vary based on industry, but they are typically tasked with implementing security measures, managing user access, and maintaining network operations. As a supervisor, they also typically oversee a team of IT professionals.Read More...
Information technology encompasses everything from email to hardware to software; schools, private businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and many other industries use IT departments to maintain the technology services that they use.
IT supervisors' primary duty is broad network management. This includes setting up spam filters for email accounts, initializing virus protection software on the network, and helping employees or clients troubleshoot any issues they are having with the computers or Internet. IT supervisors act as experts in the department and typically supervise subordinate IT specialists, assisting with any escalated concerns that arise. They may train staff and ensure that their employees are performing effectively. They also mediate any disputes or issues that arise.
IT supervisors are generally expected to work on call if there are any emergencies with a business' network administration. They are able to work remotely from home if their business allows for it, as long as there is an Internet connection available on both ends.
IT supervisors typically have bachelor's degrees in computer science or a related field. As supervisors, they also exhibit a deep understanding of technology and its infrastructures. They may need several years of experience before being promoted to a managerial position, which may also require some experience in leading a team.

Information Technology Supervisors who advance into the role of an Information Technology Director are fairly uncommon. Information Technology Directors on average earn $101K per year. Information Technology Supervisors moving up in their careers tend to step into positions as Information Technology Managers or Information Technology Project Managers. The median paychecks in those roles are $7K higher and $16K higher, respectively.
Survey participants wield an impressively varied skill set on the job. Most notably, skills in SQL, Project Management, Microsoft SQL Server, and Cisco Networking are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts of 7 percent, 6 percent, 5 percent, and 5 percent, respectively. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Computer Hardware Technician, and Help Desk / Desktop Support. Those with knowledge of Computer Hardware Technician tend to be skilled in Help Desk / Desktop Support as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience seems to be a major factor in determining the incomes of Information Technology Supervisors. During the first five years of their careers, Information Technology Supervisors see a median income of $55K. Survey respondents with five to 10 years of experience report an only modestly higher median of $63K. Information Technology Supervisors bring in $75K after working for 10 to 20 years. Survey participants who have worked for more than two decades report bringing in $90K on average.

Give them tools. Set a time for cleaning rooms. Making beds is easier if the child simply pulls up a duvet. Deconstruct tasks. Children get just as overwhelmed by tasks as adults. A pile of toys can look overwhelming so help by giving them one toy and reminding them where it goes, start with the next, and so on. Trade off. Tell a child you'll put away their toys if he or she will bring you the baby's diaper bag so you can go out.
You've got to walk the walk yourself. "My philosophy has always been to teach by example," says Peter Alexander, Jake's dad. He believes in accepting your responsibilities, being honest and working hard, tries to do that himself and believes his kids share his values. Doe suggests parents look in the mirror. If you've committed to work on a committee, do you go to meetings or cancel at the last minute because you're tired? If your child wants to take class that requires attendance five Saturdays in a row, do you allow her to stay home when her interest flags or require her to stick it out? (Doe notes that sometimes, a child will have conflicts — say, attending a club meeting or finishing studying for a major test — and cancellations have to be made, but those are exceptions that parents and children can make after careful evaluation.)

Game Review on Aug 24th, 2014
An overlooked gem among horror games, that is faithful to the works of H. P. Lovecraft. It has a few bugs (including one that is gamebreaking) but they can be fixed with the unofficial patch. I would wholeheartedly recommend everyone to play this game. It puts emphasis on atmosphere instead of stupid jumpscares like many modern horror games do and even manages to include FPS mechanics without breaking the atmospere.
Mod Review on May 25th, 2014 - 3 people agree
The sheer amount of work that was put into this patch is stunning. This is a perfected AoE1!
Mod Review on Apr 8th, 2014 - 1 person agrees
This is a censorship mod. I despise censorship of any kind (and of any medium - books, films, games,...), because firstly I find it insulting towards the creators of the censored product and secondly I consider mods to be something that adds/enriches the game in question (yes, even the porn mods for games like Skyrim, although I don't intend to ever use them). This "mod" just takes stuff out and gives nothing in return. Combine it with the fact that this "mod" censors vulgarities in a game that has gratuitous amounts of gore, blood, decapitations and other forms of body evisceration methods, shown in great detail, yet that remains untouched. Therefore I consider the author of this mod a giant hypocrite because his jimmies are rustled by swearing ("I left that in high school") but obliterating a zombified pregnant girl with a chainsaw? No problem there! I will not compromise here in any way, shape or form and I give this 1/10.

Sorry but if somebody is offended by satanic symbols the WHY would he buy and play a game that revolves around trying to stop an invasion of Earth by the forces of Hell? This just makes NO sense!

Expert Panel Releases Initial Marijuana Policy Report, Announces Public Phase - by ACLU of Northern California
San Francisco – An initial progress report released today by the Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy, chaired by Lt. Gov.

NJ Gov. Christie Claims Cannabis Legalization is "Blood Money" - by Clown Award Goes to Christie!
At a recent speech given in a drug treatment facility NJ Gov. C. Christie claims that legalization is "blood money" when in fact the opposite is true. This comedian who plans to run for Pres. in 2016 believes then that there is no blood money made in the illegal status of drugs that spurn the cartels and resulting violence of gang warfare? Am nominating NJ Gov. Chris Christie for the 2016 Cannabis Clown Award for making the most logically fallacious statement thus far in 2016!

Federal Prohibition Against Legalized Medical Cannabis Enables Robbery, Kidnapping - by Another Angry Patient
The kidnapping, torture and castration of a local medical cannabis dispensary owner plays into the hands of the federal prohibition against medical cannabis and prevents the voters of states like CA and CO from being able to put their votes for legalization into practice.

Vote on the top 60 Topps cards of all time
Nov 3, 2010, 12:01 PM EDT
The good folks at Topps would like you help celebrate the company's 60th anniversary by voting on the top 60 cards of all time. And it's a really cool interface, with nice pics of baseball cards you either remember having or coveting at one point or another. Total time suck.
The only problem: way, way, way too many great cards didn't get nominated. I mean, say what you want about the merits of a 1967 Mickey Mantle, but how is that one of the top Topps cards ever? It's more sad than anything in my view in that it's really the first card to show The Mick's age. Kind of an awful card in that respect. There are tons of classics missing and tons of pedestrian cards of superstars.
No Oscar Gamble? No Carl Yastrzemski with the big sideburns?
- lar @ wezen-ball - Nov 3, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Oh boy did they make some terrible choices in there. Why is every single Mickey Mantle in there? Most are crappy looking (the 1965 and the 1952 are all that you really need, though one or two others could do).
But that's just the old ones. You're kind of limited in your choices from that era, since they all look the same. But why the 1986 Topps Traded Bo Jackson over the way more awesome 1987 Future Stars Bo? Or the 1989 Randy Johnson headshot? Or the 1990 Sosa? Or, especially, that dreadful 2006 Alex Gordon?
Obviously there was a very specific way they went about this (make sure most years are represented, give at least one card to the big names, etc), but it certainly wasn't by choosing the actual good cards.

Sammy sosa studio 91 card. What a riot. And Warren Brewstar had to have been one of the fugliest..
- sdelmonte - Nov 3, 2010 at 12:53 PM
I own a few of those. The Rickey Henderson card is one of the few valuable cards in my possession.
Which Mickey Mantle card does Bob Costas carry in his wallet?
- Chris Fiorentino's Rash - Nov 3, 2010 at 1:16 PM
I have carried a Chipper Jones Bowman RC (92) card with me since i was 12 to every Braves game (including spring training) i went to, attempting to get it signed and have never once been able to catch up with him. I was always worried about not getting it back if i mailed it in.
not your typical rc: http://i56.tinypic.com/2ztiu1k.jpg
- wihalofan - Nov 3, 2010 at 4:00 PM
Didn't anyone else besides Mickey Mantle play in the mid-1960s? The 1957 Mantle card with the guy in the back "Photoshopped" out before Photoshop existed is pretty cool though.
- scatterbrian - Nov 3, 2010 at 4:18 PM
Seriously? A 1952 Andy Pafko card is one of the 60 best Topps cards ever? Sixteen freakin' Mickey Mantle cards? These were obviously chosen for the names rather than the cards themselves, which makes the exercise pretty boring. Add to it that they're counting down one per day until mid-February and I've completely lost interest.
- crankyfrankie - Nov 3, 2010 at 7:53 PM
No Mike Schmidt? No Steve Carlton? No Roger Clemens? This was a very nice salute to NY. baseball but was happy to see the Satchel Paige.
- mvd513 - Nov 4, 2010 at 4:24 AM
Lots of Bowman rookie/prospect cards were dress shots. They were awesome.
Missing 1992 Griffey is a mistake. But the vote is fun.

Flashgun batteries
Apr 2, 2013
I've been using GP2700 batteries for my flash guns but I can't find anywhere in the UK that sells them. Any ideas where I can get them? Any recommendations on alternatives? Thanks in advance

They entered the city early on Tuesday morning, taking over the airport.
After days of accusations and counter-accusations between authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC, and Rwanda about support for M23 rebels, the insurgents yesterday November 20, 2012 entered the eastern provincial town of Goma.
The BBC said its correspondent in the town saw what seemed to be a column of rebel fighters entering central Goma, capital of North Kivu Province and the main city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. He said he saw them exchange small arms fire with the UN-backed Congolese army. Though the commander of United Nations peacekeepers in DRC, Lt. Gen. Chandar Prakash, said the rebels had tried to attack his forces at the local airport, but had been repelled, there were reports that Goma Airport had actually fallen to the rebels. Al Jazeera TV quoted a UN source in the town as confirming the take over of the airport by M23 rebels.
Some rebels used the cover of civilian houses to bypass the UN base at the airport to enter the town, Lt. Gen. Prakash explained. Reuters news agency reported that M23 fighters advanced on foot along the road to the city centre, the first clear evidence that they had entered Goma after days of fighting on the outskirts. Sustained light-arms fire could be heard from the city and airport. Streams of residents headed for the nearby border with Rwanda, saying the army had ordered them to evacuate.
The rebel advance came after they fired mortars on the outskirts of Goma, the provincial capital, threatening to capture the city. According to UN officials, shells landed near Goma International Airport and a United Nations position, prompting the UN to evacuate most of its employees. Yesterday's violence erupted just hours after M23 rebels said they were halting fighting to negotiate with the government.
But Lambert Mende, government spokesman, told the Associated Press news agency that negotiations were out of the question, saying the DRC will not give in to what he described as the blackmail of the Rwandan-backed group. He said it was Rwanda, not the M23, that was responsible for the fighting, adding that if they negotiated with rebels, it would be a way of washing away Rwanda's responsibility.
The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda have already fought two wars, the most recent of which ended in 2003 after lasting nearly six years. On Monday November 19, 2012, both nations accused each other of firing mortars across the narrow border which runs on one side of Goma, a city of one million that is the economic heart of Congo's mineral rich region.

Amnesty THAT — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) February 24, 2013 This is Kobe's 17th year in the league and even though the team isn't playing well, individually what he is doing in quite amazing. He isn't the Kobe of old, but Old Kobe is still better than 95% of the NBA and that should be applauded. I believe what he is doing well be appreciated much more after he retires.

The health minister has weighed in on the case of the elderly woman at the Greater Niagara General Hospital who broke her leg at the entrance of the facility in Niagara Falls but was told to call an ambulance.
Deb Matthews says the situation is unacceptable and disappointing, adding this isn't the standard of care people should expect.
82-year-old Doreen Wallace broke a leg and badly cut-up her arm in a fall inside the double-door entrance to the GNGH. Her family was forced to call an ambulance before a passing doctor took matters in to his own hands and brought her to the ER himself. It took almost a half-hour before she was moved.
On Tuesday, NHS supervisor Dr. Kevin Smith said a review of the incident is underway, adding NHS policy is moving towards giving people who need medical care "a rapid response and transport to the appropriate clinical setting"
Smith also apologized to the woman and her family.

Argan oil has dominated the beauty market since MoroccanOil products brought it to the mass' attention. It's become the marketing catch phrase, called out in everything from haircare to skincare. For the past couple years, beauty brands have introduced other oils as alternatives to argan. Today, marula oil appears to be the new beauty oil in focus.
If argan oil is Morocco's miracle oil, then marula oil is Africa's miracle oil. It goes back to 9000 BC with the discovery of the Marula fruit. Marula oil comes from the nuts of the Marula tree found in South Africa. It is traditionally used as a cooking oil, a meat preservative, to treat leather and in cosmetics. In South Africa and Mozambique, the Tsonga people have long used the oils as a moisturizing body lotion and as a massage oil for babies. Women have often used the Marula oil over water to clean themselves.
- contains high levels of Oleic, Palmitic, and Stearic fatty acids essential for rapid skin absorption (no residue or greasy feeling), hydration and prolonged moisture retention
- high levels of antioxidants like tocopherol (vitamin E), tochotrienol, phenolic compounds and flavinoids
- Anti-microbial properties make it appropriate for all skin times
- It's oxidative stability makes it ideal for cosmetic formulas and topical application
- Improves skin hydration, smoothness and reduces redness
- Studies claim higher antioxidant levels that grape seed oil and argan oil
- 10 times more stable than olive oil
- Purer than argan oil as only the nut is pressed, not the shell
- anti-aging face creams
- massage oils
- shampoo for dry, damaged and fragile hair
- lipstick components
Products with Marula Oil
- Leakey Collection (just announced partnership with Birchbox)
- Dior Capture Totale Rituel Nuit Intensive Night Restorative
- Fiafini
- Darphin Aromatic Cleansing Balm

Why 2012 was pivotal for next-gen transportation
2012 was a pivotal year for the electric vehicle industry, in both Oregon and throughout the United States. We expect to keep that momentum revving this year with tax incentives, lower price points, more choice, better infrastructure and more.
In the past 12 months, U.S. sales of electric and hybrid cars skyrocketed, up 73 percent from 2011. Sales keep rising as more models become available, alongside tempting lease deals. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure has also expanded, thanks in part to federally funded initiatives like the EV Project. The number of public charging stations in the U.S. now totals more than 4,100. The Oregon Department of Transportation has been busy installing "DC Fast Charger" stations up and down Oregon's major roadways. The prevalence of new charging infrastructure is alleviating range anxiety — the worries many have about the range limitations of a battery-powered vehicle.
Looking ahead into 2013, the outlook for the electric vehicle this year is promising. Almost every major automaker will have a hybrid electric or all electric vehicle on the market by the end of 2013. The Nissan LEAF, Toyota Plug-in Prius, and Chevy Volt — the three top-selling models currently available — will be joined by a host of other cars, giving consumers options in price, size, and performance. The Chevy Spark EV is scheduled to debut here in Oregon and in California this summer, giving Oregonians even more options from which to choose.
With so much competition arriving in the industry, prices are expected to drop. Federal tax credits will continue to help lower the upfront cost on electric vehicles, and consumers can still cash in on federal tax credits for purchasing a charging station for their home.
The electric vehicle market — especially here in Oregon — includes more than just four-wheeled automobiles. Two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles, such as all-electric motorcycles and electric assist bikes, will likely also see a boost in sales in 2013. In fact, a report produced by Pike Research estimates nationwide e-bike sales will more than double. Thanks to the recently passed "fiscal cliff" bill, consumers of these vehicles will be able to receive a tax credit for 10 percent of the purchase price, up to a maximum of $2,500.
Since 1984, the Citizens' Utility Board has represented residential utility consumers in Oregon. As a consumer advocate, it is CUB's mission to provide thoughtful, sophisticated policy resolutions and help Oregon be a national leader on energy efficiency policy, climate change solutions, renewable resource implementation and consumer awareness. When it comes to electric vehicles, CUB works on the regulatory and legislative fronts to make sure that policies put forward maximize the consumer and environmental benefits that they can provide.
As the industry grows, now more than ever it is vital that we continue to ensure electric vehicles can help maximize the use of renewable energy resources in our state. With smart vehicle-to-grid technology, electric vehicles can make the most of our abundant "clean" energy resources, assure consumers their economic and environmental benefits, as well as enable a less carbon intensive future for our state.
For those interested in electric vehicles, the best way to educate yourself is to experience one firsthand. There are number of ways to test drive an electric vehicle — even without having to go to a dealership. One option is to rent an electric car on Getaround, a car sharing program that came to Portland in 2011. On their Web site, car owners make a profile for their cars, listing an hourly, daily or even weekly price, as well as a calendar of when their vehicle is available.
Another car-sharing program in Portland, Car2go, which has all-electric Smart Fortwo cars that you can use to zip across town or run errands. You can also rent an electric vehicle through Enterprise. Since 2011, Portland's Enterprise office has been renting out several electric vehicles, giving customers the chance to experience the all-electric lifestyle.
If you are interested in trying out an electric vehicle in other parts of the state, you can contact the Oregon Electric Vehicle Association to see what opportunities exist in your area.

Buy.com came through once again for us. The product was listed for over $100.00 and we got it for $35.00, so I bought three. One for me, and the other two are going to my son-inlaws for X-Mas. I have had a chance to try mine out before X-Mas and it was simple to operate and has a lot of information. However many of the units I looked at had humidity and were able to place up to three other receiving units in other rooms or outside, this model only lets you have one outside receiver. It does however lets me setup four other locations around the country beside my home base. It does do barometric pressure which is something I have never had so I am learning to know more about it.
