Platano Named Kemper Scholar
Chris Platano '10 knew before coming to Willamette that he was interested in world affairs, but an experience in one of his first-year courses cemented his idea to seek a career in international development or policy.
The class was "Global Health: Crises in Context," a College Colloquium course taught by assistant anthropology professor Joyce Millen. The College Colloquium program allows first-year students to pick a class topic that mirrors their interests and pursue their intellectual passions as soon as they arrive on campus.
"We talked about AIDS and bird flu and other diseases that are prevalent in impoverished nations," Platano says. "We discussed ways they could be relieved and prevented. I thought I knew about the world before taking this class, but it completely opened my eyes to what's happening."
Platano will have extra chances to gain the skills he needs for his future career thanks to a national scholarship. He is one of two Willamette students recently named a Kemper Scholar, a program from the James S. Kemper Foundation for first-year college students interested in business or management careers. The program's mission is to prepare these students for leadership and service. Willamette is one of 15 small colleges that can nominate students to be Kemper Scholars.
Platano will receive an annual scholarship of $3,000-$8,000 during his sophomore, junior and senior years. He also will receive stipends for two summer internships -- one at a nonprofit organization in Chicago after his sophomore year, the other in a location of his choice after his junior year.
"It's a great opportunity for me to meet people who can give me the tools I need to go into the business field," says Platano, who plans to major in economics with a possible double major in politics.
Platano was involved on several levels in high school -- in track and cross country, as student body president and as a volunteer in his community -- and he has continued to be active at Willamette. He is on the University's cross country and track teams. In the fall, he will be treasurer of the Circle K Club, a community service student organization, and a group leader for the Opening Days new student orientation program. He is going to South Africa this May as part of a Willamette post-session course -- again building his interest in world affairs.
He also hangs out with Tokyo International University of America students through Building Bridges, a program that helps the Japanese students make new friends at Willamette and learn about American culture. "We try to make them feel at home here at Willamette. It's been a fun experience. You learn so much."

SO..... Am I completely crazy??
After seeing all that my sister has gone through, almost exactly the same way I did, I still think we are going to try for another baby! My feelings haven't really changed about our decision, but I am a little more scared! My sister had a seizure Monday, 3 weeks after her daughter was born, mine happened about a week after my son was born. The doctors were watching her very closely and she had been monitoring her BP at home. Everything was looking fine and out of the blue her BP spiked and she started to seize! I just wish that there was some predictability as we both had preeclampsia that did not get better after delivery and escalated to eclampsia. I went even further into HELLP syndrom! I feel like I am really testing fate by going for our second, but I have faith in God. I have a much better understanding now, and my outlook on life has changed making me think more positivly!! But I still think I may be a little crazy

Sciatica: The Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Here's a trivia question for you. What is the longest nerve in your body? Take a wild guess…Yes, the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from your spinal cord through your hips and buttocks as well as down the back of each leg. It can also pierce the piriformis muscle, a major muscle that starts at the bottom of your spine and stretches across your buttock to your hip.
The sciatic nerve controls the muscles in your lower legs and provides feeling to the thighs, legs and feet. The term "sciatica" refers to the inflammatory pain that travels along this nerve to the above mentioned areas. In a recent article, we spoke about Cervical Radiculopathy. Sciatica really refers to Lumbar Radiculopathy.
The pain a person feels from sciatica is usually a sign that there is another, much larger problem. Sciatica can be quite painful, but it generally dissipates within a couple of months. When the pain radiates from a central location, such as the spine, to an outlying area like the legs, it is usually an indication that the nerve supply is at least partially the problem. This is why seeking chiropractic care to resolve this issue makes so much sense.
Causes of Sciatica
Sciatica can develop if a nerve root is compressed in your lower (lumbar) spine. This is usually the result of a herniated disc. These discs consist of two parts, an outer annulus fibrosus and the inner nucleus pulposus. Think of a jelly donut where the annulus fibrosus creates a shell around the nucleus pulposus and helps to distribute pressure evenly across the whole disc. The nucleus pulposus is a mucoprotein gel with the consistency of jelly. It absorbs the impact of your body's daily activities and keeps your vertebrae separated.
If the outer shell of a disc tears , the nucleus propulsus can bulge or "herniate". The gel contained within then begins to seep out and press on a nerve root. This would cause pain in your back, legs or both. If the damaged disc is in the lower part of your back, numbness, tingling or weakness could be experienced in the buttock, leg or foot.
While a herniated disk is a common cause of sciatica, there are other conditions that could put pressure on the sciatic nerve, including:
Trauma - Any fall or blow to the spine can injure your lumbar area (there are five nerve roots that originate from the lumbar spine) or sacral nerve roots (five nerve roots originate from the sacral vertebrae).
Sciatic Nerve Injury – The sciatic nerve itself could be affected by a tumor or injury.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis – Spinal Stenosis is the narrowing of one or more areas in your spine, usually in your upper or lower back. If this occurs in the lower spine, the lumbar and sacral nerve roots may be affected.
Piriformis Syndrome - The piriformis muscle is located at your lower spine and connects to each thighbone (femur). Piriformis syndrome is when the muscle tightens or spasms. This puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. This often happens when the sacrum is out of alignment or if you have Spinal Stenosis.
Spondylolisthesis – This often occurs due to degenerative disk disease. It is when one vertebra slips over another. It could pinch the sciatic nerve where it exits the spine. The vertebra can slip backwards (retro) or forward (antero).
Symptoms of Sciatica
As stated above, pain that travels from your lumbar spine through your buttock and down the back of your leg is the classic sign of sciatica. Pain could be felt almost anywhere along the nerve pathway, but it most commonly follows a path from the lower back to the buttock and back of the thigh and calf. The pain you experience can be a mild ache or a sharp, burning sensation and anything in between. It could also feel like a jolt or electric shock. Other Sciatica symptoms include:
Numbness or Muscle Weakness – This could be experienced along the nerve pathway in the leg or foot. You could experience pain in one part of the leg and numbness in another.
Tingling or a Pins-and-Needles Feeling – Usually in the toes or part of the foot.
Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control – If either of these symptoms is experienced, please seek medical help immediately.
A Doctor of Chiropractic will use the following to help diagnose Sciatica and locate which lumbar nerves are affected:
Medical History
Chiropractic Physical Exam
Basic Muscle Tests. These basic tests check your muscle strength and reflexes.
Spinal X-ray. An X-ray of the lumbar spine can help pinpoint the cause of sciatica if encroachment is easily seen or by measuring the spinal canal from the top of the lumbar vertebrae (L1) to the bottom (L5 or L6 in some cases where individuals have an additional lumbar vertebra).
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This is probably the most sensitive test for assessing the size of the spinal canal and thus the visualization of spinal stenosis.
Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan. When CT is used to image the spine, the doctor could order the exam with or without a contrast dye. If the dye is used, it is injected into the spinal canal before the X-rays are taken. This dye circulates around the spinal cord and nerves and will appear white on the scan. This will help to clearly delineate the size of the spinal canal.
Sciatic pain can usually be relieved through a combination of stretches, massage of the piriformis muscle and most importantly – chiropractic care. In cases where a disc herniation presses on the nerve, Spinal Decompression Therapy could be an alternative to surgical intervention. Spinal Decompression Therapy is a natural choice for treatment because it gently stretches the spinal segments apart, giving the nerve more room during both passive and active movements. This will then allow healthy nerve information to flow between all segments of the spine in regards to both sensation and motor activity. This addresses the issues of numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and pain.
If you have suffered from such pain or weakness without any treatment success, or have been told that surgery is necessary, you owe it to yourself to find a Doctor of Chiropractic properly trained in Spinal Decompression Therapy. This non-invasive technique may be the very thing that gets you back on your feet and into a more active lifestyle.

One of the first things to do when trying to create a beautiful and well organized room is to de-clutter the room. If you are looking for a way to get your room looking better, first evaluate what things you want to keep and what you want to be gone. A lot of items can be stored in a more attractive manner by taking advantage of decorative boxes and baskets. So, for the items you decide you want to keep, but you don't necessarily think they need to be seen, storing them in boxes and other containers that also lend themselves to the overall décor of the room, is a great way to keep what you want, without having a cluttered looking room in the process.
From small items, like jewelry, to larger items, like magazines and books, you can keep them stored in an attractive box for the jewelry and an attractive basket for the books. A small lidded box can be the perfect place to keep your rings and not lose them. A rattan basket can store all of the cooking magazines you love to read through while drinking your morning coffee. You can still keep the magazines in the kitchen where you drink your coffee and read, just keep them organized by storing them in the basket when you are not using them. Small packets of green tea can be kept in a canvas lined woven seagrass basket, right next to where you heat the water for your tea. By grouping all of the different kinds of tea in one basket, you cut down on the overall cluttered look of a room. The simple act of keeping them all in the basket helps the overall décor of the room.
Make it easy for your kids to make healthy snack choices by keeping them easily accessible, but don't clutter up the kitchen countertop in the process. Store fresh fruit, homemade granola bars, dried fruits and nuts in a basket within easy reach. With a tiered basket, you can keep fruit in one basket and the other packaged snacks in another basket. The concept can be transplanted to any room in your home. Store newspapers in a basket in the living room until you are ready to recycle them. Store shoes in a decorative basket by the door. Keep mittens, hats and scarves in a basket by the door that everyone enters and exits the home through. Keep it right next to a coat rack – either a free standing one or a wall mounted one. If you group the shoe basket, the accessories basket and the coat rack all next to each other along with a storage bench to sit on to slip shoes on and off, there is no excuse for anyone who can't find their gloves the next day. So, not only are you increasing the attractiveness of the overall décor of a room and cutting out the clutter, you are making it easier for everyone to stay organized.
Use a seagrass laundry basket as an attractive way to store towels. Keep other bathroom essentials – all those bottles of lotions and soaps- in a basket. Extra toilet paper can be kept in a basket on the back of the toilet. Cosmetics and styling items can be kept together in a manner that does not look like a cluttered mess, if you keep them all organized in baskets.
Keep it hidden in lidded boxes. Keep it grouped together, like items with other like items, in a basket. Store items in a basket until you have time do something else with it. Baskets and decorative boxes are a great way to decorate a room and provide storage.

Following such an impressive debut, many were wondering what would be next for The Dragon.
After the bout, UFC president Dana White a potential fight with Vitor Belfort. However, another challenger appeared when former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight championGegard Mousasi called out Machida on Twitter. Now, Combate has confirmed that Mousasi got what he asked for.

Big 12 Power Rankings heading into Week 12 of the regular season:
BCS standings | MORE POWER RANKINGS: ACC | Big East | Big Ten | Big 12 | Pac-12 | SEC
1. Kansas State (10-0, 7-0)
The BCS title game is so close, the Wildcats can taste it. Oh, who are we kidding? Of course Bill Snyder isn't letting them taste anything but the next game. Baylor, it's your turn to go down.
2. Oklahoma (7-2, 5-1)
The Sooners are still gunning for a BCS berth, as unlikely as it seems that they'll actually get one. And that's if they win out, which itself seems unlikely.
3. Texas (8-2, 5-2)
We'll give the Longhorns some real credit for shaking off the embarrassment of this year's massive loss to Oklahoma and turning into a pretty solid team. Manny Diaz's defense actually has a pulse after all.
4. Oklahoma State (6-3, 4-2)
What a wild, unpredictable ride it's been for the Cowboys at the quarterback spot. If only they'd have had a 55-year-old Brandon Weeden for one more season, they might've done what K-State is doing.
5. Texas Tech (7-3, 4-3)
The Red Raiders aren't exactly falling apart in the second half of the season, but they're nothing like the team that kicked bu … HEY! Sorry, folks, Tommy Tuberville just slapped us upside the head.
If the Horned Frogs are going to finish above .500 in Big 12 play, they'll have to close out with wins over Texas and Oklahoma. You know it, we know it, Gary Patterson must know it—that's not happening.
7. West Virginia (5-4, 2-4)
Five weeks ago, we looked ahead to the Mountaineers' date with Oklahoma in Morgantown and figured it would be one of the national games of the year. Now it's little more than an afterthought. On the bright side, Geno Smith has yet to fall all the way out of our Heisman Top 50.
8. Iowa State (5-5, 2-5)
It can't happen, can it? A loss on Saturday at Kansas, we mean. As long as the Cyclones avoid the unthinkable, they'll be bowl-eligible. It beats the alternative.
9. Baylor (4-5, 1-5)
The Bears' season boils down to this: Beat K-State on Saturday night in Waco and all the losses, all the pathetic defense, all the post-RGIII back-to-being-bad-ness just melts away. Or lose by four touchdowns and be morbidly depressed.
10. Kansas (1-9, 0-7)
The Jayhawks came oh-so-close to victory in Lubbock, Texas, last time out. We've got to think it'll inspire them to play well at home vs. Iowa State on Saturday. But is KU's best good enough to beat anybody?

Hello, my name is Norlisa, and I am helping our Executive Director Anne by agreeing to help out with Preeclampsia Foundation activities in Washington State. There are many things that we can do together. That being said, any help, requests, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
One project that we would like to start now and continue annually is a baby clothes and furniture sale. As you know, baby and toddler clothes and furniture are quite expensive when purchased brand new, and hopefully our sale will attract a lot of customers. What we would do is collect donations of baby and toddler clothes and furniture and sell them. (Furniture would include such items as changing tables and little table and chair setsâ€â€things that will not be questioned about safety issues.) If any of you have items that you want to donate for this sale, please let us know. Also, please follow Anne's lead in including the PF in your holiday letters and asking people to support our cause.
Let's get the word out about the Foundation at your OB/GYN's, Family Doctor's, General Practitioner's, Internist's, and/or Perinatologist's offices. We need women and their families to know that we are here. All of us have different experiences with preeclampsia, and we can all help someone through this experience (dads and partners, too). If you are interested in reaching out to someone, or need to be reached out to, or know of someone that may find us useful, please let us know. When you've experienced difficulties and heartaches with preeclampsia, meeting someone else who has been through or who is going through the same experience can bring both of you comfort.
Feel free to give me feedback and ideas. Tell us what we can do, what you would like to see accomplished, etc. Until next time, please take care. I look forward to hearing from you (feel free to e-mail me, also) and meeting you all soon.
Much Love,

Five years after its release, Gmail is still a beta application. Gmail continues to add significant features, but most of the interesting ideas are now in Gmail Labs: tasks, offline Gmail, sending SMS or adding iGoogle gadgets.
It makes sense to add experimental features in the Labs section and remove the "beta" label from Gmail's logo. Felipe Zamorano, a reader of this blog, noticed that the Gmail logos created for some of the themes have two versions: one that includes "beta" and another one without "beta".
Google has recently launched a Labs section for APIs and started to add deprecation policies for the APIs that graduated from Labs. "For these graduates, we're increasing our commitment with published deprecation policies and other critical support services. The Visualization API terms, Contacts Data API terms, and Picasa Web Albums Data API terms include good examples of transparent deprecation policies. They state that we'll support each version for at least 3 years from when it's deprecated or a newer version is introduced."
Maybe it's time to show the same commitment for popular applications like Gmail or Google Calendar and drop the "beta" label.
March 9, 2009
Will Gmail Come Out of Beta?

2013 brought us Perfumistas some outstanding releases. I didn't want to categorize any of these so I'm putting out this end of year post, as simply as possible: The Seven Best Releases of 2013…
A weird number, not particularly catchy, but these were the standouts. Of course, I haven't tried everything that has been released, but I generally try what targets my taste. All these fragrances were released in 2013, and are not necessarily what I've worn the most for example, but if you wanted to some up the year in perfume, these would be the seven.
In no particular order… (Ok, maybe slightly in a particular order)…
Mito Extrait de Parfum by Vero Profumo
So I cannot find a picture of the Extrait de Parfum bottle anywhere, so this Voile D'Extrait will have to suffice! Whilst the composition is the same in both bottles, the concentration of the parfum just wins me over with it's dense, plush texture.
Vero Kern has created a perfume of immense beauty, and whilst it took me a while to fully "get" the Mito EDP which was released first, the Extrait simply blew me away.
It is a lush combination of bracing citrus accords and bitter greens, with a bunch of white florals laid over it. Lemongrass, cypress, galbanum all lead up top, giving in to a heart of magnolia, champaca and a bitter vegetal tuberose which ties the florals in to the bitter greenery both up top, and the mossy greenery in the base. There's a hint of peach throughout, and a drop of civet in the base – a reinvented chypre that smells modern yet timeless, referencing great classics of the past with huge admiration. Green florals have been totally to my taste recently, and having tried so many, I can't see anything surpassing this extraordinary fragrance.
Ingrid by Tableau De Parfums
The final fragrance in the Tableau de Parfums trio was a truly gorgeous release. A frangipani oriental, using the leading floral as it's never been smelt before… out of a tropical setting, and thrown into a spice basket of dried roses, cloves, cinnamon and woods. It's an absolutely huge fragrance, overwhelming and extravagant… yet its final hours on the skin are languid and plush; it's feminine without being sweet or candied. Ingrid is a bold, confident fragrance that is hugely original and truly one of a kind. A fantastic finale for the line by Tauer. His work for Tableau de Parfums has been his most mature and experimental yet.
Zelda by Envoyage Perfumes
Zelda is just an all-round beautiful fragrance. It's a unique, complicated magnolia oriental – in a similar vein as Ingrid without the hefty dose of cloves. It's an old-school glamorous floral oriental, concentrating on the more creamy, waxy aspects of magnolia, partnered with subtle greens, hints of booze and old wood, rich in civet soaked woods and tobacco. Zelda is an extremely modern take on a classic structure and whilst complicated, it's executed perfectly. Shelley Waddington is an extremely talented artisinal perfumer and Zelda is proof of this… it's truly gorgeous.
Eva Kant by O'Driu
Perfumer Angelo Pregoni has done something with Eva Kant that I just can't work out – he's created an extremely beautiful, slightly aquatic floral that has a texture and translucency I didn't think possible with such a high dose of natural materials. Eva Kant is a slightly spicy floral of rose and ylang, that starts extremely bitter and herbal, with lavender, grapefruit and rosemary. It's bold, without being overly dramatic, with a fascinating combination of textures and contrasting notes. It's a hugely intelligent piece of work from the O'Driu brand and undoubtedly his best work to date. Whilst I struggle to wrap my head around it at times, Eva Kant is something I absolutely adore to wear and have certainly never tried anything like it.
Cuir de Gardenia – Aftelier Perfumes
Cuir de Gardenia filled a space in perfume land that was desperate to be filled… there has always been a gap for a good gardenia fragrance. I'd say this space has previously been occupied by Jardenia by JAR, and nothing else. Whilst Jardenia is still an extraordinary gardenia, it always felt more a brilliant accord than a fragrance to me. Whilst Cuir de Gardenia is simplistic, it's a complete fragrance… with an outstanding gardenia accord. In the opening there's subtle honeyed fruits, pear, a gorgeous gardenia – however devoid of the mushroom earthiness that dominated Jardenia, and jasmine. The jasmine is equally as dominant on my skin, and it leads into a smoky castoreum base that on me, goes through stages of smelling like leather, then smoky bacon. It's a wonderful, comforting fragrance by the mother of natural perfumery Mandy Aftel – a perfumer who knows her ingredients inside-out. A clever piece of work, executed breathtakingly.
Cologne Reloaded by Bogue Profumo
Excuse the terrible photo, again, I couldn't find one of the bottle so just took a quick snap of mine :)
Cologne Reloaded was composed almost entirely of vintage materials the perfumer apparently found, or was gifted by someone. The result is exactly as expected, an ancient smelling cologne. Of course citrus oils would have long since gone bad, so there are practically no citrus notes here. Instead, it's a lavender smoke-bomb of a fragrance. Tons of birch tar, aromatic herbs, astringent, medicinal, bracing, very smoky… It's one hell of a creation, that dries down to a rather dandified baby powder finale. Hard to wear, but every time I do I love it so much. A brave, and a very interesting release from a very new niche house – this perfumer Antonio Gardoni is one to keep an eye out for. His fragrance Eau D'E for Bogue is also really beautiful!
Santal Exotique by The Exotic Island Perfumer
This fragrance is an absolute must try for any sandalwood lovers, any lovers of spicy, Christmas-y gourmands… cinnamon, hot milk, cocoa, sandalwood galore, wood galore in general… It's a mature gourmand, not at all foody, even more opulent than any of Serge Lutens' sandalwood interpretations! This puts so many poor sandalwood attempts to shame… and in fact, Juan Perez's whole line The Exotic Island Perfumer is outstanding. Santal Exotique I didn't expect to love as much as I did, yet I find myself wearing it most evenings… absolutely comforting, beautifully balanced, totally wearable, and very alluring. A warm, spicy comfort and a reference sandalwood fragrance.
There you go guys! Hope you enjoyed my favourites of 2013… I cannot recommend you sampling these enough!!!!

One business is closing in downtown Aiken while another one has just opened.
Also, it appears Sports Cuts in the Publix shopping center has closed. The doors are shuttered, and the phone has been disconnected.
Shoe store Kicks of Aiken is closing its location in the Holley Building on Laurens Street after five years in business, and cafe La Dolce recently opened in the former Pitter Patter space.
"I am having another baby; I have a 4-year-old at home, and I live one hour away," said Kicks of Aiken owner Kristi Till, who wants more time to spend with her family.
Till opened Kicks of Aiken, an offshoot of Kicks of Columbia, after hearing the Holley Building was being renovated.
The store has offered a wide selection of fashionable shoes, purses and accessories. Brand names include Emu, Restricted, Butter and Gentle Souls.
All inventory is marked down and everything, including furniture, must go.
"I want to let our customers know how appreciative we are that they hung with us for five years," Till said.
She anticipates Kicks of Aiken will remain open for several more weeks. The hours are 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Tea Master Lady Kelly MacVean, co-owner of LaDolce, said business has been booming since they opened their doors on Nov. 29. She opened the new cafe and bakery with her daughter, Executive Pastry Chef Kirstie MacVean.
"It's been fabulous, absolutely fabulous," Lady MacVean said.
MacVeen said many have complimented the teas, coffees and desserts the new business offers. Many have told MacVean that the business is something that was needed in Aiken.
"We're just pleased to fill that role," MacVean said. "We've gotten such great feedback."
People have also been fascinated with the sign of the new business, which includes a coffee cup with steam rising from the top. MacVean said one child stopped and excitedly said it was like something he had seen in Disneyland.
LaDolce is located at 123 Laurens Street. Pitter Patter Children's Boutique vacated that spot and moved down to 151 Laurens at the end of May.

text: Petra (140) Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.43 oz.) is described as a "dirty bronze metallic shimmer." It's a cool-toned, purplish-gray taupe with copper and bronze metallic shimmer. I didn't detect any brush strokes no matter the angle or lighting situation with this one, and it was fully opaque after two coats. If I was a normal person and reach for a color over and over again, I could easily see this becoming a go-to for fall/winter (I might, in fact, make it my go to for my toes this season at least!). I thought Illamasqua Facet (LE, $17.00) might be similar but it is lighter and warmer in a way. See comparison swatches.

In My Own Words
"I love working with people and am often the calm voice in a room that is anything but. I find a beautiful, unique feature in each client and work to bring that out, whether it is on the inside or the outside. Critical questions are asked throughout my service so that I can capture a special version of the real you.
I know that makeup (products and application) can be overwhelmeing; I am always giving out tips and tricks and will talk a client through what I am doing and why.
When you hire me for an event or shoot, you are getting a proud, knowledgeable, experienced artist who is easy to work with and has a little "Keep Austin Weird" in her heart."

Adam Sole scored four goals, three in the first half, to lead the Greyhounds to the 8-7 victory. Luis Massumoto, an exchange student from Brazil who also plays tennis, Caed Brownlee, Wade Carr and Robert Sconyers each had one goal for Jones County, which is now 1-4.
The Greyhounds jumped ahead 4-0 and led 4-1 at halftime, but Putnam made a charge in the second half.
"We've got a bunch of guys who really hustle and play hard, but they don't have much experience," Kitchens said. "We're improving, though, and we'll keep getting better. We're going to put together a travel team to play in the offseason, and that should help develop more kids with soccer skills."
In their previous game on Feb. 28, the Greyhounds lost a region game at Northside-Warner Robins 7-2. Sole and Trevor Zukowski scored for Jones County.

Levi and Brent have got to be two of the Hottest boys ever to grace my lens and I could hardly wait to introduce them to each other. Brent was very excited when I showed him pictures of Levi, and when Levi finally arrived Brent could hardly keep his hands to himself. Levi was immediately hooked on Brent, and the two hit it off with each other right from the start. I only left them alone for a few minutes, and when I came back I found them wrestling around in the living room and starting to rip off each others clothes. I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures. They were definietly primed and ready, so I hearded the two back into the bedroom to get started. I got the cameras rolling, and they went right at it. These guys just kept changing positions sucking and fucking until they couldn't stand it any more and had to let loose. Brent shoots a HUGE load right over Levi's shoulder and I thought I was going to bust through my jeans! Truely two of the Hottest guys to date! They're bot

From Yahoo
A law enforcement official identified the shooting suspect as Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
Military officials say Hasan, 39, was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July. The officials, who had access to Hasan's military record, said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because military records are confidential.
The Virginia-born soldier was single with no children. He graduated from Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. At Walter Reed, he did his internship, residency and a fellowship.
Officials were investigating whether Hasan was his birth name or if he may have changed his name, possibly as part of a conversion to Islam. However, they were not certain of his religion.
Style: German longsword, .45 ACP--
Damn, he even got some of the SWAT guys.
The local news is reporting that 12 people are confirmed dead, 31 are wounded, including some SWAT members who responded to the shooting. One shooter was caught immediate. A second shooter with a high powered sniper rifle exchanged fire with the SWAT, the local news reported.Best Vietnam War music video I've ever seen put together by a vet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDY8raKsdfg

With the use of Internet, information is now very accessible and business activities can be done in just a click. And so, conducting online background check is now possible.
We all know that background check is quite expensive —- the more detailed it is, an additional cost will be incurred. But with online background check, your money is saved.
Here are the following steps for you to conduct a thorough online background check without spending any cash:
1. Know Your Subject's (Person) Name
You cannot perform an online background check if you do not know the name of your subject or the person's name. After knowing his complete name, you may verify it on the usual places such as Google, Yahoo and even on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and etc. Utilize all the information you know such as his address, schools attended, his work and the office address
TIP: To eliminate irrelevant results, enclose your target's name with quotation marks. For example, "Juan de la Cruz" life
2. Search Through Social Networking Sites
Social networking sites are the amazing sources of information because information shown are not all about you, but also those other information you have decided to be shared with the whole world. That is why most of the employers are asking for social media accounts for them to see who you really are.
TIP: Facebook is the best social networking site used as a tool for online background check. This site has a search engine in which you can search for people by name, email address, school, workplace and location. There are also other sites that you may use to find people and their "confidential" information; here are as follows:
• Whitepages —- www.whitepages.com
• PeopleFinders — www.peoplefinders.com
• FriendFeed — www.friendfeed.com
• Spock —- www.zabasearch.com
• Glassdoor —- www.glassdoor.com
• Search Systems —- http://publicrecords.searchsystems.net/
• NETRonline —– www.netronline.com
• Criminal Searches — www.criminalsearches.com
Online background check is not only applicable for the prospective clients, employees or business partners but also for your self. It is for the reason that you may have wrong information spreading in the internet or some embarrassing photos. So better be aware of what you share online or else you will face the possible consequences.

Student Essay & Poster Submissions Wanted for Earth Day Environmental Justice ConferencePosted Mar. 13, 2013
Student essay and poster submissions from college and secondary students about the environment and environmental justice issues are invited for the 9th Annual Earth Day Environmental Justice Conference at Kent State University Campus at East Liverpool. The annual contests have bookstore voucher prizes of $75.00, $50.00, and $35.00 for each category. Submissions will be presented at the conference held in the Slak Shak, Main Classroom Building, KSUEL, 400 East Fourth Street on April 20, 2013. Papers will be read at 9 a.m., and posters will be presented at 12:30 p.m. Awards for all contests will be presented at 1:30 p.m.
Essays should be eight to ten pages in length allowing for a 15 to 20 minute presentation. Awards for the essay contests will be presented in three categories:
- Science Based Essays that synthesize a body of research and sources based on evidence. Although these are not persuasive essays and no opinion should be included, the essay can have a point of view. Sources must be cited.

This is a time of unprecedented opportunity for using neutrons in biological and soft matter research. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has invested in two forefront neutron user facilities, the accelerator-based Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the reactor-based High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Researchers have access to new instrumentation on some of the world's most intense neutron beam lines for studying the structure, function, and dynamics of complex systems.
We anticipate that soft matter and biological sciences of tomorrow will require understanding, predicting, and manipulating complex systems to produce the new materials and products required to meet our nation's future needs. Whether these complex systems are biological microorganisms or self-assembling scaffolds for mesoscale materials, they have properties that must be characterized across length and time scales using multidisciplinary approaches that exploit recent technological advances.
Neutron scattering techniques can probe enormous ranges of length and time scales, from angstroms to microns and from picoseconds to milliseconds. They are, therefore, ideal for studying multiscale phenomena intrinsic to biological and soft matter processes. With no charge, neutrons cause little radiation damage and are highly penetrating, enabling use of complex sample environments. Neutrons have energies similar to atomic motions, and their spin can be coupled to magnetic fields in spin echo measurements, allowing the study of dynamic processes over picosecond to microsecond time scales.
One of the most desirable properties of neutrons for biological and soft matter research is related to hydrogen (H). Photons and electrons interact with the atomic electric field. With just one electron, H is all but invisible to x-rays. Neutrons interact with nuclei, and H atoms have a relatively strong and negative scattering length, b.The isotope D has an even stronger b that is positive. These properties have provided precise information on a wide range of applications, from the location and dynamics of H atoms at the atomic level, to obtaining unique information on the concerted action of large, multidomain systems at longer length scales. We are committed to developing the technologies and tools, and to providing the expertise, to support biological and soft matter research using neutron scattering.
Theory meets experiment: structure-property relationships in an electrode material for solid-oxide fuel cells
December 01, 2012 — Fuel cell technology is one potentially very efficient and environmentally friendly way to convert the chemical energy of fuels into electricity. Solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can convert a wide variety of fuels with simpler, cheaper designs than those used in liquid electrolyte cells.
SNS researchers overcome the freezing sample problem in biostudies
October 01, 2012 — Studying biosamples at supercold temperatures, such as 200 Kelvin (-73.15°C), has been impossible in the past, as the water in such solutions inevitably freezes, and with it, the biosample's dynamic interactions. How to keep biosamples from freezing at very low temperatures has been an ongoing research problem—until now.
Neutron Reflectometry Helps Clarify Particle Interactions for Clean Drinking Water
August 01, 2012 — Although water is plentiful on our planet, it carries dissolved and suspended matter that must be removed to produce drinking-quality water. Aggregation, filtration, flotation, and sedimentation of particles are some of the engineering processes now used to treat water. These processes are governed by the interaction of particles with solid-liquid or gas-liquid interfaces.
Martha "cow-laborates" to help unravel protein structure in milk
March 01, 2012 — Casein micelles, a family of related phosphorus-containing proteins, make up 80% of the protein in cow milk. They are the building blocks of dairy products such as yogurt and cheese, supplying amino acids, calcium, and phosphorus to the body. More important, they are the principal vehicle for delivering calcium phosphate to rapidly growing newborns.
Studying how a protein's dynamics can take down a killer
March 01, 2012 — In the 1950s at Minimata, Japan, 900 people died and 2 million suffered life-long injury, in the form of birth defects to incapacitating neurological and muscular deformities, after swimming in and consuming fish from the bay nearby.

Updated Again! App Store Redux: 10 Million Downloaded, but Are they Well Coded?
The App Store went live last week (what day exactly depends on whether you snuck in to iTunes 7.7 and snooped around on your own, or waited for the official links to surface), tying in to the iPhone 3G and 2.0 software launches. How'd it do? According to Steve Jobs:
"The App Store is a grand slam, with a staggering 10 million applications downloaded in just three days. Developers have created some extraordinary applications, and the App Store can wirelessly deliver them to every iPhone and iPod touch user instantly."
Probably why Apple has finally started putting a dent in its backlog of developer acceptances, eh? But is all happy in App Land? Nope. Find out why after the break...
Never mind the almost spam-like proliferation of ebooks-as-apps (public domain, yet packaged and charged for). There are complaints from both Daring Fireball and TUAW that some developers are engaged in App naming shenanigans, putting spaces or symbols at the beginning to sort higher:
On Twitter, Tim Wood points out that the problem is endemic to alphabetical sorting — if Apple merely disallows spaces and punctuation, the scammers will just switch to "AAAA Solitaire" to get to the top. Dave Dribin points out that Amazon avoids this by not even offering alphabetical sorting as an option. Apple should let you choose between popularity, release date (newest on top), and user ratings.
They suggest negative reviews by way of retaliation. I suggest feedback to Apple.
UPDATE: More gripes today, this one from developer Erica Sadun about how iTunes is imporperly managing App syncing -- backing up entire apps (even graphic and sound chunky games) every time, greatly increasing the length of cycle:
I don't know about you, but those new longer iPhone syncs are just killing me. Once an App has been backed up, I don't see why Apple doesn't just back up the Documents and Library data rather than backing up entire applications every single time the iPhone connects.
Me neither. Backing up changed states would be far more efficient. If backups take too long for a mobile device, people will start skipping them, defeating the purpose. Imagine if it treated +300MB movie files this way?
There have also been widespread reports of App's being buggy and causing crashes, though some developers are pushing back at this, telling TUAW that Apple may have rushed 2.0 out the door before it was as stable as it needed to be:
Anonymous developer sources are reporting that they've been poring over crash logs and discovering that the reported crash has nothing to do with their application. There's a growing consensus that Apple has released a highly unstable "final" version of the 2.0 firmware. So, maybe it's more of a shame that Apple, who laid the groundwork for a multitude of useful and exciting applications, rushed development and failed to build a better foundation.
Some 8 betas since introduction, could the deadlines really have been tight enough on either side to lead to a poor Gold Master?
UPDATE 2: Apple Design Award winner Craig Hockenberry of Twitterrific fame chimes in on just how hard it is to debug iPhone apps, and why, which may explain some of the problems:
The big problem here is that the only way to install software on an iPhone or iPod touch is with the App Store. There are also no provisions for beta testing. Without the ability to sign code, there is no way for a user to get code onto a device: most users fall into this category. The only way to "test" a fix is to release the changes to tens of thousands of users. It's the developer equivalent of playing Russian roulette.
Arguably the "killer feature" of iPhone 2.0, we've certainly not heard the end of this.

Updated Again! App Store Redux: 10 Million Downloaded, but Are they Well Coded?
gotta be honest with you guys... only had one crash with one app, Omni focus. everything else? Facebook, Myspace, AIM, Twitter, I can keep going... All working 100% fine not a single crash.
I don't think it's 2.0, i think it's some of the Apps. Think about it they were kinda rushed to get them finished, but that's ok though. The phone is out now, the hardware platform is in your hands. Just give them time to tweak some of the bugs, and things will be good to go. =)
Super Monkey Ball crashed on launch (right after the Sega logo) for me nearly every time. I deleted it, did a reset, synced it back from iTunes, and its been okay ever since.
It's maybe a mix of some 2.0 bugs (every code has them!) and App bugs (ditto!)
You guys are toast when the ZunePhone comes out!
I highly doubt that individual app bugs are all resulting in identical behavior (crash on launch). Crashes while using the app, sure, those are bugs.
It's definitely not an app problem. The phone itself feels different. It is slower even for Apple native applications such as phone and even Safari. The keyboard often gets stuck or has a delay while writing messages with the mail application. It took a few restarts and syncs before the phone became decent enough to be used. I am upset. Oh, and by the way, the new battery sucks. Today I decided to turn off 3g andy de the phone as I used to before the switch to the new model. I have not used any games today. The battery still drained twice as fast. And as I type this message, the keyboard follows my gestures with a delay of about one second. Unacceptable!
Super Monkey Ball crashes on me too from time to time. I haven't noticed a definite pattern yet but it seems to be the first try of the day for the most part, after having it sit on the cradle all night charging. But whenever it does, it won't let me start the game until I've restarted my iPhone. Also, iTunes acts up when I use the remote app. It does what it's supposed to do and all, but if I have iTunes minimized to the little taskbar controller thing windows does it won't let me maximize it again. In fact, the taskbar controller seems to be disconnected from iTunes, the volume slider is all the way to the left and it has the "play" icon instead of the "pause" it should have when a song is playing.
Nothing that can't be fixed I guess, small price to pay for a portable gaming machine that's like combining the PSP with the DS and controlling it with a wii remote...and waiting till about the 3rd generation of that. I mean seriously, super monkey ball shouldn't be this much fun. I can't put it down, I didn't get anything accomplished all weekend.
my phone crashes too randomly on many apps bringing me to the home screen or worse a full reboot.. this whole thing has been a joke.. add to that the fact there (last time i checked) is only one game available to buy here (Ireland) and that many of the apple applications feel much slower i am totally dissappointed..
My guess: Combination of rushed firmware + difficulty in testing App Store apps + App code problems.
Easy to see that storm in hindsight. Apple needs to figure out a way for devs to beta test and QA their stuff!
My iPhone 3G 16GB White, locked up on me 6 hours ago.
It rebooted on it's on and is STUCK at the apple logo screen. I can push + hold Power button and Home screen button to turn the phone off. But when I push the power button to turn it back on, it just sits there at the Apple logo screen.
I'm just waiting to get out of work and connect it to my PC to see if that helps.
This is my first foray into Apple products and not a very good experience.
Booo Apple! Hurry up and fix this chit
Hi Allan, I think go with you sister... unique attracts more people, for example boring names I wouldn't go and see, try a word backwards like Retupmoc (computer) Its VERY unique HAha lol

- Willamette MBA Joins U.S. Department of Commerce in Brazil
Willamette MBA Joins U.S. Department of Commerce Education Mission to Brazil
An admissions representative from Willamette University's Atkinson Graduate School of Management will travel to South America to meet with prospective international students and education centers. The trip is part of a special education trade mission – the largest to date – organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Aimee Akimoff, the Director of Recruitment for Willamette's Early Career and Career Change MBA program, will spend two weeks in South America, traveling to Bogota, Colombia and three cities in Brazil – Brasilia, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Akimoff will join representatives from 65 other colleges and universities across the U.S. to recruit Brazilian students to local campuses. The Commerce Department estimates that 215,000 Brazilians study abroad each year.
"I believe that education and sustainability can narrow the distance between the top and bottom of the social-economic scale," said Joe Mizuno Santa Helena, a first year Willamette MBA student from Brazil. "Through studying in the U.S. and at Willamette University, I hope to achieve my ultimate goal to make a difference not only for my people in Brazil but for all people in developing countries. This includes managing real world challenges and making business decisions that benefit society over the long run."
Approximately 35% of the incoming class of full-time MBA students at Willamette hail from countries outside the U.S. The Atkinson School welcomed two students from South America for the 2012-13 academic year.
To follow the progress of the trip, follow hashtag #ITABraEduTM or @WillametteMBA on Twitter.
Aimee Akimoff poses for a photo with U.S. Ambassador to Brazil, Thomas Shannon, at a graduate fair in Brasilia.

I have been approached about writing a book on Joe and his time with Bomber Command. I'd love to hear your feedback about this. Please use the comments box to give me your thoughts. Novel, or non-fiction? Do you think it would make a good read?
A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In this letter, Joe has recently arrived at Stranraer in Scotland, where his Air Gunnery School training (phase 4 of his training) will commence and he will finally get up in the air….
Letter 29 – 15th April 1944
"Hut 13 / 1 Site
39 Course, RAF Station
Castle Kennedy
Nr Stranraer, Wigtownshire
Dear Mom and Kids,
I received your letter yesterday and was very glad of it too. On the same day I received a Registered letter from Aunt Doris's with a 10/- note inside from some pub' or other called the 'Albion Inn', it seems as if I'm on the list for a regular 'sub' as well!!
So far this course has been nothin' up to now, but we will have some revision to do on the guns and the hydraulic turret system as the instructors here seem to contradict certain details about those subjects. We were taught one thing at Bridgnorth and another here and it's mixing us up a bit so far. Keep your fingers crossed for me all the same!
I can't write much more right now about that as I have a lot of rewriting to do later. Our Gunnery Instructor is an American (in the RAF) he isn't too bad!
By the way, you remember me telling you in my Bridgnorth letters about our Flight Officer (DFM and BAR CGM) well his photo is in the April issue of the A.T.C magazine amongst the Aces! Some of our old Flight sent a copy to him! Tell Den to look in the page of "Some of the best" if he gets an ATC magazine! Top right picture.
Well up to now I've not had any time off and we don't look as if we will get any here either! The country around here is really wild, so wild in fact that the English are still sending missionaries up here and some of 'em never get back!!
By the way tell our kid to be a bit more careful if he wants to stay healthy. Let me know how Geoff Payne is if possible. By the way, was that P.S. a crack!?!! Well I must knock off for a bit now as I have a pile of work to do before I go to bed! Yes I said work!!
Joe Lee is practicin' a tango, he's got a date with a WAAF at the Station Dance Sat' night and so have I! The WAAFs here are all 'smashers' not 'tykeys' like them at Bridgnorth!! Toodle -oo!
Love Joe.
P.S. Send my skates and stone when possible, put in a strong box please!
P.P.S. Excuse writin'!
To Joyce,
Thanks for your nice letter Joyce, send me another! Blimey, some people can't even boil water!!"
Starting to see the cheeky side of Joe emerging now. He clearly has the normal eye for the ladies that you'd expect from a handsome 18 year old in a uniform! Only 5 days in Scotland and already fixed up with a date with a WAAF. That's my boy!
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Someone with a history of being so avidly pro-abortion is suspect. Perhaps he has had a real change of heart, but even if so, I wouldn't trust such a man to be vigorously in favor of the sort of pro-life legislation that we need: tough measures to insure the protection of the children. We don't want another Souter on the Court, or even another Kennedy (whom Reagan appointed). It's very difficult to find a good Justice to put in. We managed to get Roberts and Alito. I don't believe that Romney would appoint such men.
If Romney appointed someone like himself (seems likely and plausible to me): a waffler and one who traditionally could not see that abortion is wrong, then such a person would not vote to overturn Roe or even alter it to any significant degree. He would do the bidding of the pro-aborts, just as Justice Kennedy (a Catholic!) often has.
This is all about the liberal media's desire to get Romney nominated because he is moderate enough that folks won't see much difference between him and Obama (Huntsman gets the same treatment, but he is a non-factor); thus giving the latter a better chance to be re-elected. One doesn't hear Romney being run down; it's all about Perry and Bachmann being wild-eyed extreme fundamentalists.
That's the dead give-away. If a Republican is absolutely despised, mocked, detested, called all kinds of names by our superior liberal masters and overlords, then you know you have the right person. Apologetics works the same way! [LOL] Find someone who is being called all kinds of names by the anti-Catholics, and you have someone who (chances are) is being an effective and successful defender of the faith. No names . . . :-) :-)
Same thing happened to Reagan, Gingrich (back in the mid-90s), Bork, Clarence Thomas, Rumsfeld, Cheney, W.: anyone who opposes the liberal status quo.
I couldn't care less than I do how "articulate" a candidate is. He can stumble all over his words and wear a dunce cap, as long as he does the right things and puts in place good policy. Obama is extremely articulate and likable to boot. But what good is that? Where has it gotten the country? So he looks good on camera and makes a great personal impression . . . so what!!!??
Joe Biden is not very "articulate", but Obama saw him as a great VP choice. Dick Cheney is extremely articulate and intelligent, yet did that make any difference in the liberals' opinion of him? Nope, of course not. Republicans are attacked and pilloried no matter what. Colin Powell was so "articulate" that he was stupid enough to vote for Obama.
Obama is so "articulate" that he didn't even know that the word "corpsman" had a silent "p". Imagine if W had said that? But W didn't say anything nearly that dumb . . .
I don't think Romney will be the nominee, because stuff like this is gonna come out, and the base won't put up with it. Perry is likely gonna be The Man. I like Bachmann better, but polls are clear that she is not as electable as Perry is, and you have to go back to Garfield, I think, to find a President elected from the House. Being a woman is not an issue; we have gotten beyond that now.
