Submit application materials and questions to Bryce McDavitt at email@example.com.
APLA is centrally located on Wilshire Boulevard, just south of Hollywood, and easily accessible by subway (from Union Station in Downtown L.A., it's a 10 minute subway ride to our offices).
3550 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 90010
We are conducting multiple innovative research projects in various stages of preparation, data collection, analysis, writing, and publication:
- A three-year NIH-funded qualitative study that examines how young Black gay and bisexual men communicate with friends about sexual health and HIV testing. The goal is to understand how sexual health values are shared, modified, or developed within communication between friends.
- A large longitudinal study of HIV-positive African Americans to examine how misconceptions about HIV may spread within networks of friends, family and others.
- A clinical trial of an intervention called Treatment Education, an APLA program that supports people living with HIV to be actively engaged in and informed about their healthcare. The goal of the trial is to see whether this program results in better health outcomes and adherence to medication.
- A qualitative research project exploring how substances become associated with sex among Black and Latino young men who have sex with men. This study is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
APLA is a unique setting for a research internship: our program is an active collaboration between a community-based organization and academic researchers from CSU Dominguez Hills, UCLA, the RAND Corporation, and Harvard. Our interns are equally diverse in their interests and backgrounds, coming to us primarily from Amherst, Pomona College, Occidental College, and CSU Dominguez Hills.
This is an unpaid internship that would involve working on one or more of our research projects. Interns may participate in scheduling interviews, qualitative data analysis, collaborative team meetings, entering survey data, searching research literature, and assisting with preparation of grant proposals, as well as materials for presentation and publication. Other activities might involve screening participants or doing outreach at community venues, including nighttime outreach at gay-identified bars and clubs.
This is a good opportunity for someone who is considering a career in research or who is interested in sociological and psychological perspectives on HIV and the experiences of people living with HIV or African American and Latino young gay and bisexual men. Interns in our program are active team members involved in many aspects of the research projects, and expected to contribute independently and creatively to the research process.
If you are interested, please submit your resume and a writing sample (preferably related to the social sciences, research, or health). Please indicate the dates of your availability and how many hours per week you can work. Greater availability and/or hours will be preferable to more limited availability.
An ideal candidate would have strong writing skills, as well as some knowledge of research methods. Equally important is experience in or eagerness to learn about recruitment methods, writing about qualitative research findings, qualitative analysis procedures, and guidelines to protect study respondents' confidentiality and welfare. We also prefer candidates with knowledge of or experience with diverse populations, such as ethnic minority, HIV-positive, or LGBT individuals.
We accept applicants for Fall, Spring, and Summer internships. Fall and Spring internships require a minimum commitment of 12 hours per week for three months. Summer internships are more intensive, with more extensive training and involvement in a greater number of research projects. Most summer interns work 20-40 hours per week. Some interns work with us for an extended period, such as a full year.
Breakthrough Collaborative
Breakthrough Collaborative brings together passionate undergraduates from all majors to teach our hard-working middle-school students during the summer. Nationally, 92% of Breakthrough students are of color; 71% are low-income; and 62% will be the first in their families to graduate from four-year colleges.

Breakthrough students enter four-year colleges at three times the rate of their low-income peers.
Breakthrough Teaching Fellows are motivated undergraduates who work with Breakthrough students during our intensive nine-week Residency. As a Breakthrough Teaching Fellow, you will receive extensive training, continuous support, and the opportunity to lead a classroom. Throughout the summer, you will assume leadership roles and practice persistence, creativity, flexibility, and problem-solving. Under the guidance of experienced educators, you will work alongside other exceptional college students to plan and teach classes, manage a classroom, advise students, lead field trips, and develop as a teacher and leader.
Whether you have always dreamed of being in the classroom or are considering it for the first time, teaching at Breakthrough will help prepare you for a career in education while building skills that are transferable to any profession.

AND he's changed his mind on gay marriage so he's clearly open to new ideas.
This message board is only an archive. Click here to go to the current message board.
AND he's changed his mind on gay marriage so he's clearly open to new ideas.
-Which is as it should be. Would that *all* gun owners in the U.S. follow Autumnlyn's example of training every last person in their family to operate and maintain a gun.
The NRA needs to get over itself and quit circulating the propoganda that the Second Amendment rights in the U.S. are about to be taken away from Americans.
You're right, he may have changed his views. We shall see.That's the point I was trying to make. 17 years is a long time and there has been absolutely no RECENT history to backup Obama wanting to secretly get rid of guns. None. AND he's changed his mind on gay marriage so he's clearly open to new ideas.
(But oddly enough I remember during the election... shortly after Obama's suspect remarks to Russian President Medvedev, Romney warned the NRA that an "unrestrained" Obama would look to clip gun rights. And soon afterwards, Obama "joked" at a White House Correspondents' Association dinner about his "conspiracy-oriented friends on the right, who think I'm planning to unleash some secret agenda: You're absolutely right." Just sayin' )
i find it immeasurably guffaw-inducing that some would easily/seemingly encourage and/or rather restrict hollywood, and thus the first amendment...then make any...even the smallest, realistic attempt to 'well regulate' the second..
i'm gonna go back to watching me some of them old-timey movies...like john wayne in the searchers...or some tv like gunsmoke or dan'l boone...'cause they never had any o' that violence stuff
This is too funny; I gotta share. A friend of a friend and I were having a mini-gun violence debate on FB (I try to avoid that stuff there, but sometimes I get sucked in in spite of myself), and his rationale for why we need semiautomatic* guns and large clips was this: Someone who is a bad shot might need a semiautomatic with a large clip to defend his family. Yeah, go ahead and read that again and let the meaning really sink in. After reading that and sitting in stunned silence for a few minutes, I replied, "That is the most terrifying rationale for semiautomatic weapons and large clips that I have ever heard." I mean, really. A person who is an admittedly bad shot in a confused/tense scenario with a lot of gun power he can't control well? And his family is there? As Craig Ferguson would say, "What could possibly go wrong?"
*Please note I am not suggesting we outlaw semiautomatic guns, which are guns that reload bullets into the chamber automatically after each shot. I'm just saying this particular bit of reasoning was screwy as all-get-out.
I find this debate very interesting. Living in Canada we just don't think about guns the same way. The only people I know who have guns are hunters and I know very few of them. I'm not saying people don't have a right to them but I know for myself if I had access to a gun in the few moments I've been very angry who knows?? Best not to have that option. I'm completely stable but high emotions sometimes lead us down a scary path.

Out now: Gaia – Stellar (The Remixes)
Unlocking a fierce anthem since the Universal Religion Chapter 5 compilation came out and hiking up the charts since its official release, is Armin van Buuren's latest Gaia release, 'Stellar'. With brand new remixes by MaRLo and EDX, the mind-blowing 'Stellar' is now complete!
One of the fastest rising names in today's trance scene, is the Dutch born, Australia-based producer MaRLo. After heavily supporting his tracks 'The Island' and 'Whispers' in the A State of Trance shows, Armin invited the young talent to have a go at remixing 'Stellar'. The result is a tough, energetic mix of dark prog, trance and techy elements, embodying diversity. MaRLo's remix puts 'Stellar' into a completely new light, shining bright and kicking in hard.
Though in the midst of finalizing his debut album, Swiss-based producer EDX delivers no less than high quality on his remix of 'Stellar'. EDX turned 'Stellar' into a heavy-loaded weapon of prog-house impact. Deep bass, high kicks and electro sweeps define this energetic remix, ready to entwine in the global clubs.

Welcome to the growing Wiki hub for Unlimited Ninja (formerly known as Ultimate Naruto), a Browser Based MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Game) from independent developer IceGames Co. Ltd.
Ever since it opened up with its Open Beta to players on the 23rd of September, 2013, the game has been seeing massive response from the online community and its developers have been regularly increasing their servers to facilitate the flood of newer players. As you may have already noticed, it's based from the Naruto series, and it somehow remains faithful in the sense of the series' plot progression. The aim of this hub, in due time, is to be an aid and reference to both new and advanced players alike. So we request the help of the community in helping us update this hub, possibly shifting through whatever is already here and make changes where necessary. It's a new page so post as much info as possible and try to help others :)

Egypt Boutique River Cruises
To cruise the Nile's life-giving waters—onboard a luxurious ship, surrounded by dramatic scenery and millennia-old sites—is the ultimate way to experience Egypt's magnificent heritage. Step back in time as you go ashore to explore such ancient wonders as the Great Hypostyle Hall of Karnak, the beguiling Temple of Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and temples devoted to a pantheon of powerful gods and goddesses. In the words of the ancient Greek scholar Herodotus, "Egypt is the gift of the Nile," a land and a river destined to amaze you and linger in your memory forever.

Carlsbad Caverns Closes Early Due To Flooding
By KRWG News And Partners
Carlsbad Caverns National Park is closing early, at 4:30 p.m., on
Wednesday, July 17, because of flooding along the Walnut Canyon Park
Road. All visitors and employees are being evacuated from the cave and
visitor center and escorted down Walnut Canyon to Highway 62/180. The
park road is passable at this time, but more heavy rains are expected
this evening.
The park gate will remain closed tonight, and all programs, including
the Bat Flight Program, are cancelled for July 17.
The potential for flooding has been higher than usual in Carlsbad
Caverns National Park after a large fire that burned much of the
vegetation along the park road in June of 2011. Since 6:00 a.m. the
park had received more than 2.5 inches of rain as of 4 p.m. today.

My boyfriend and I booked the village house for one night before taking the morning bus to El Nido, and this beautiful bamboo bungalow was the perfect stop over. The house is where rustic meets new, with its beautiful naturalist architecture yet fully equipped with modern technological needs like wifi, television, and plumbing. The caretaker, Roy, was a very kind and hospitable man. I would recommend staying here for the night if you are looking to get away, albeit the location is not central.

Christchurch City achieves double win in national energy awards
Vivien Hardie (Christchurch City Council), Gordon Craig (Ngäi Tahu Property) and David Jones (Powell Fenwick Consultants) accept the Public Sector Award.
Its innovative use of bioenergy and its highly efficient civic building have won Christchurch City Council two trophies in the 2010 EECA Awards.
The council took the Public Sector award sponsored by the Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) programme for its six 'green star' civic headquarters, which is not only a model of energy efficiency, but is set to become a net energy exporter thanks to a system that generates electricity from biogas. Alongside consultants Beca, the council also won the ECOsystems Renewable Energy category for its city-wide system that uses biogas, wood energy and biodiesel.
The council was also Highly Commended in the Innovation category for its tri-generation system - the first of its kind in the world - which uses biogas to produce electricity, heat and refrigeration.
"These are outstanding projects. Christchurch has created something that all of New Zealand can take pride in," said EECA Chief Executive Mike Underhill. "It demonstrates real leadership, using renewable energy in an imaginative way but also striving to operate efficiently - showing that it's not just where energy comes from that is important, but how well we use it.
"This has multiple benefits - it's delivering value for ratepayers, and as one of our major tourist hubs, it underpins our reputation as a 'clean, green' destination. This should also help to raise the profile of good energy use within the community. It's an excellent role model for other councils."
The council partnered with Ngãi Tahu Property, with the involvement of consultants Powell Fenwick, and developed the civic building which incorporates a number of features to reduce energy consumption while maximising the use of renewable energy - including biogas and solar energy. It's the first building in the country to be awarded six stars under the New Zealand Green Building Council's 'green star' scheme.
The council is also saving $5 million a year in energy costs through its use of renewable energy to power city facilities. Biogas produced at the Burwood landfill and Christchurch Wastewater plant is piped through an 18km network before being used for heating, cooling, drying and generating electricity. The average payback on its energy projects is 2.7 years.
The title of Supreme Winner in the 2010 EECA Awards went to Downer NZ. It won the Large Business category for its comprehensive programme to tackle energy use across the company, and it won the Innovation category for its fuel efficiency programme combining driver behaviour change with technology such as GPS and in-cab cameras.
The EECA Awards celebrate organisations and individuals who have demonstrated excellence and innovation in energy efficiency or renewable energy. This year, nearly 100 entries were received across the nine categories. Entrants ranged from small businesses to large corporates to outstanding invididuals, spanning public and private sectors and community-based organisations.
Download the Winners Booklet to find out more about the winners and finalists.
Other category winners:
- Westpac won the Energy Management category for the energy component of its company-wide Our Tomorrow sustainability programme, which has cut energy use by 21% and CO2 emissions by 28%.
- Taranaki pig farm the Lepper Trust won the Small - Medium Business award for its innovative use of biogas from effluent ponds to generate electricity.
- Waikato earth-moving and transport firm Ruakuri Contracting won the Transport award for its success in reducing its environmental impact - embracing biodiesel as well as fuel efficiency.
- The Community award was won by the Energy Efficiency Community Network for an energy advice line for householders that gave expert, tailored advice.
- Professor Ralph Sims, who leads the Centre for Energy Research at Massey University, won the award for Outstanding Contribution to Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

Patients urged to avoid A&E this Easter
Posted: April 15, 2014|
DOCTORS are urging patients wanting non-emergency medical advice to call the 111 hotline this Easter.
Pressure traditionally grows on the University Hospital of North Staffordshire's accident unit over the Easter weekend because GP surgeries are shut.
But GP leaders are urging patients to call the 111 medical line.
Goldenhill GP Dr Chandra Kanneganti said: "People who call 111 will be assessed by highly-trained call handlers and clinical staff who can direct them to the nearest and most appropriate health services for treatment."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A mountain lion that appeared strong and healthy as it ruled a wilderness park in the middle of Los Angeles has been exposed to rat poison and is suffering from mange.
National Park Service spokeswoman Kate Kuykendall says scientists noticed the cat known as P-22 was sickly when they recaptured it last month to replace batteries in its tracking collar.
She says the 4-year-old cougar probably ate animals exposed to poison from residential bait traps. The poison often works its way up the food chain, becoming more lethal as the dose accumulates in larger animals.
P-22 was treated for the parasitic skin disease and returned to Griffith Park. Biologists say it's unclear whether P-22 will fully recover.
Kuykendall says there's no indication the poisoned cat is a threat to residents.

The Nutcracker
Based on a novel by 19th-century romantic fabulist E.T.A. Hoffman, The Nutcracker weaves a magical tale of holiday adventure around one of the most recognizable scores in the ballet repertoire. It begins when young Clara receives a nutcracker from her godfather, a wizardly toymaker named Drosselmeyer. Sneaking downstairs to see the toy after everyone else has gone to bed, she suddenly finds herself caught in the middle of a pitched battle between the toys and an army of mice. After saving the nutcracker with a well-thrown shoe to the Mouse King's head, Clara and her now-living prince venture into the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets to celebrate. Throughout their adventures, Tchaikovsky's dazzling inventiveness propels the dances of nimble flowers, regal fairy queens, and seasonally confused vampires. The "Waltz of the Snowflakes" floats weightlessly above the angelic voices of a youth choir, whereas the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" tiptoes to the haunting, music-box chimes of a celesta. A medley of exotic national dances—including a Spanish bolero and Russian Trepak—add to the phantasmagoric celebration before the whole dream ends, as all dreams must.
Accompanied by the dulcet strains of the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, the Huntsville Ballet Company's dancers bring the classic tale to life. Original choreography by company artistic director Phillip Otto takes advantage of the ballet school's students, filling the stage with perfidious rats, valorous toy soldiers, and ethereal fairies.

Huntsville Ballet Company
Huntsville Ballet Company is as dedicated to enriching the local arts community as it is to entertaining the audience. That's why the staff opened their ballet school, which gives students the chance to perform alongside professional dancers and the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra. When their own soloists aren't pirouetting through The Firebird or anthropomorphizing sugarplums in The Nutcracker, the company welcomes visitors such as Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre and the New York City Ballet.

Tales from the Study of the Embodied Mind
with George Lakoff
George Lakoff, Goldman Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at UC Berkeley, is the world's leading expert on the embodiment of mind, metaphorical thought, and framing in politics. In 2000, Lakoff helped to found the Rockridge Institute, a progressive think tank that seeks to redefine political thought and debate in the U.S. His books include Metaphors We Live By, Philosophy in the Flesh, and Don't Think of an Elephant!
Lakoff's current research covers many areas of Conceptual Analysis within Cognitive Linguistics: (i) The nature of human conceptual systems, especially metaphor systems for concepts such as time, events, causation, emotions, morality, the self, politics, etc. This also includes the study of such systems in other languages and their manifestations in linguistic form; (ii) The development of Cognitive Social Science, which applies ideas of Cognitive Semantics to the Social Sciences. It includes practical applications of cognitive linguistics to help social advocates reframe social and political issues; (iii) The implications of Cognitive Science for Philosophy, in collaboration with Mark Johnson, Chair of Philosophy at the University of Oregon; (iv) The cognitive structure, especially the metaphorical structure, of mathematics, in collaboration with Rafael Núñez of UC San Diego, Department of Cognitive Science; (v) Neural foundations of conceptual systems and language, in collaboration with Jerome Feldman, of the International Computer Science Institute, seeking to develop biologically-motivated structured connectionist systems to model both the learning of conceptual systems and their neural representations. This includes the development of a neural theory of grammar — embodied construction grammar — which precisely characterizes grammars in a notation suitable for both reduction to structured connectionist models and use in natural language processing.

After a clear a reopen is tried immediately and that is most often blocked. In my case the cisco seems to be to slow to close the session in time for the reopen. It also matters where you close the connection because in one case the idle timer is run (30s) instead of the connect retry timer (120s). Also the idle timer has starts to grow if you flap the session often. > ================ > > Now with MD5 configure.

They enforce a TCP MD5 digest on TCP RST packets. Now that's just stupid because it is not possible to do that in some cases because the other side does not know the key at that time (e.g. to signalize that the port is unavailable). In your case this means that somehow the connection from the cisco to your OpenBSD box is blocked or there is nothing listening on port 179. > Looks like the OpenBSD side do not provide the MD5 to the Cisco to > establish the session. > OpenBSD only misses the MD5 digest on the RST packets and that is actually OK. RFC 2385 actually mentions this special case in 4.1: A connectionless reset will be ignored by the receiver of the reset, since the originator of that reset does not know the key, and so cannot generate the proper signature for the segment. This means, for example, that connection attempts by a TCP which is generating signatures to a port with no listener will time out instead of being refused. Similarly, resets generated by a TCP in response to segments sent on a stale connection will also be ignored. Operationally this can be a problem since resets help BGP recover quickly from peer crashes. > It doesn't matter if I clean the session from the Cisco side, or the > bgpd side, order, etc. Both side, many times, what ever.

Perhaps the packet get blocked or modified on the way in and so the session is reset. Check with netstat -sptcp for the md5 counters. BTW. I mostly reused your config. I just disabled soft-reconfig inbound because my 2500 testbox would probably not survive that. -- :wq Claudio

Shroud of the Avatar - Update #22, More Bonus Rewards

The talk about single player is confusing sometimes as there are two different modes, offline and online and I'm not always sure what is referred to. Also if I remember correctly single player offline isn't one hundred percent possible as the game will occasionally force you to go online in single player online to continue the story.
In addition I do remember RG's interviews in the last years where it became obvious that single player offline games are not the games he wants to develop as the future lies elsewhere in his opinion. Those statements and the point that they did not factor in a single player offline mode in the design before they started this Kickstarter are in strong contrast with this same design now having a full fledged single player offline experience. So yes, I'm sceptic. Single player offline does not appear to be where his heart is.
A machine which flawlessly performs the instructions it is given, no matter how flawed those instructions may be.

As far as showdowns go, it's difficult to imagine one being more epic than the Stratford-Goose Creek football game that's about to be played on Friday night at Stackley Field.
Bragging rights, a region title and perhaps a No. 1 seed in the playoffs all hang in the balance when the two powers collide.
The Gators are 10-0 and Stratford 9-1 as they renew the rivalry.
"I would dare say it's certainly the biggest game ever for Goose Creek (in the regular season)," Gators coach Chuck Reedy said.
In addition to those aforementioned things, the Gators' 36-game win streak is on the line.
"All of those things play into it," Reedy said. "They'll be as good a football team as we've played in our 36-game win streak."
With both teams likely headed to the Div. II bracket in the Class AAAA playoffs when the pairings are announced on Saturday, the possibility exists the two could hook up again in the postseason.
A Goose Creek victory would give the Gators the No. 1 seed and Stratford would likely fall back to at least a No. 4 or No. 5. Either seed would place the Knights and Gators squarely on another collision course in three weeks.
"There's a chance we'll see them again," Reedy said. "If we're the top seed and they're the fourth seed, we could play in the (state semifinals)."
The Gators have won six straight in the series, including last season's 31-23 victory at John Fulmer Field. The Knights (9-1) have not won in the city rivalry since hammering the Gators 45-14 in 2006.
The closest game during Goose Creek's current stranglehold was 14-13 in 2009. They've won the rest by at least 11 points.
The showdown might have lost some luster when Stratford lost 26-14 to South Florence last week but the stands figure to be packed. Goose Creek did its part to remain unbeaten with a 49-21 win over West Ashley.
"It's a huge game," Stratford coach Ray Stackley said. "They are a very talented team. We will have to play extremely well to be successful… As in the past, it should be a great spectator game between two city rivals with rich football traditions."
There will be star power on the field too.
A total of seven Gators and Knights are heading to postseason all-star games.
Most recently, both the Gators and Knights were honored with two selections each to the North-South all-star game in Myrtle Beach.
For Goose Creek, those picks were defensive back Omar McRae and wide receiver Jordan Barnes. Stratford running back Jordan Johnson and linebacker Cecil Smith were also chosen.
A week earlier, Stratford quarterback Jacob Park, Goose Creek running back Caleb Kinlaw and Goose Creek defensive Kalan Ritchie were elected to the Shrine Bowl team.
"It's for games like these that you get into coaching," Reedy said.

Erik Gonsalves turned in the second stellar pitching performance by a Sonoma Stompers hurler in in as many nights, winning a 3-0 pitchers duel against the Pacifics Thursday night at Albert Park in San Rafael.
Gonsalves etched seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits and two walks. He pitched in and out of trouble numerous times however, as he stranded runners in scoring position five times.
Pacifics' starting pitcher Mike DeBarr (0-1) nearly matched Gonsalves as he pitched seven innings, allowing just one unearned run.
The Stompers lost on Opening Night, 5-4, then took Wednesday's game 4-2.
Thursday night, Stompers first baseman Joel Caranza put the Stompers on the board in the first inning by scalding a groundball towards Pacifics third baseman, Simon Correa. With Matt Marquis aboard at second base, the ball kicked off of Correa's body and into the outfield, allowing Marquis to score. It was the third time in as many games that the Stompers (2-1) scored first.
The biggest threat by the Pacifics (1-2) came in the fourth inning when Mike Orefice led off with a single, then Johnny Woodard followed with a walk. The runners advanced to second and third on a Matt Kavanau groundout, but Gonsalves retired Pacifics' Zack Pace and Chase Fontaine to end the frame.
"When stuff happens behind me I try to not let it affect the way I think and do stuff on the mound," Gonzalves said. "I really just tried to shake it off."
Shake it off Gonsalves did, as he retired nine-consecutive batters after the fourth-inning jam.
Daniel Castillo, Yuki Sakama and Mike Jackson Jr. combined for two shutout innings of relief, Jackson picking up his second save of the season.
The Stompers added two insurance runs in the eighth inning when with two outs and nobody on former Giants prospect Chuck Lofgren lost the strike zone. He walked Kyle
Jones, hit Aritz Garcia, walked Reid Chenworth, and then walked Gary Stauff, forcing in a run. Second baseman Derrick Fox followed with a single through the left side that drove in Garcia. Chenworth was cut down at home plate by left fielder Fontaine trying to score on the play.
Garcia reached base four times, collecting two singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He also stole his first base of the season.

A Russian broadcast journalist was shot and killed late Wednesday in the country's North Caucasus region, with investigators saying Thursday that his death was likely due to his profession.
Kazbek Gekkiyev, who worked with the state-run Vesti KBR, was shot late in the evening in Nalchik, the capital of the republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, state-owned RIA Novosti reported.
"Are you the host Kazbek Gekkiyev?" the killers asked him, according to The Moscow Times. "Yes," Gekkiyev replied, prompting the men to shoot him. Investigators said the question led them to believe he was killed in relation to his job.
Gekkiyev, however, did not cover anything related to the region's restive political situation or "acute, criminal topics," the Times reported, citing Vesti KBR.
"This audacious crime can be seen as a threat to other journalists who cover operations against insurgents acting on the republic's territory," the Russian Investigative Committee said.
According to Radio Free Europe, colleagues of Gekkiyev have said that "extremists" operating in the region threatened two other journalists who worked for Vesti. Islamist militants operating in the Russian North Caucasus frequently carry out terrorist attacks against government officials, security forces, and others.
Unknown assailants also went after Vladislav Dyachenko, the deputy transportation minister in the region, by blowing up his car when he was on his way to work. He was slightly wounded, reported Al-Jazeera.

How to Submit a Proposal for a Research and Promotion Program
A complete proposal submitted to USDA should include an overview of the industry and address objectives and details of the proposed program. Specific requirements are listed below. Contact the Research and Promotion Branch of the Fruit and Vegetable Programs for additional guidance at any time before the proposal is officially submitted.
Industry Analysis:
Develop a profile of the industry, including such information as the volume, value, and geographic distribution of domestic production; the volume, value, and countries of origin of imports; and the number of large and small businesses.
Determine the justification for a national program. Address questions, such as:
What marketing problems exist (e.g., declining sales or prices, lack of industry price support programs), and how would a national program address these problems?
What alternatives were considered and why were they rejected?
How much income could the program expect to generate at the optimum assessment rate?
How much would it cost to administer the program, including Government reimbursements (user fees)?
After program administration costs are paid, how much funding would remain to finance the program?
Could an effective research and promotion program be conducted with the remaining funds?
Identify what the industry expects to achieve through the program.
Impact on Small Businesses:
Describe how the programs reporting, record keeping, and other compliance requirements would affect small businesses. The description should include an estimate of the types of small businesses that would be subject to the order and the type of professional skills necessary to prepare reports and otherwise comply with the program. This analysis should describe each compliance requirement, including the payment of assessments, and estimate the costs, comparing large and small entities. Distinguish initial costs from recurring or operating costs and indicate where different compliance requirements may be necessary for small businesses. In addition, identify all relevant federal rules that may duplicate, overlap, or conflict with the proposed program.
Industry Support:
Determine the level of industry support for the program. USDA will not consider a proposal for which there is not substantial industry support.
Text of the Proposal:
Draft the text for the proposed order. It should provide the details of the proposed program. Address all aspects of the program, such as who would pay the assessment (e.g., producers, first handlers, processors, importers); what the assessment rate would be (amount per unit of trade) or a maximum assessment rate, and whether small businesses would be exempt and, if so, the exemption level. An outline is attached in this website for your convenience.
In summary, the package submitted should include: (1) industry analysis; (2) justification; (3) objectives; (4) impact on small business; (5) evidence of industry support for the program; and (6) the text of the proposed order. Submit the completed package to the Administrator of AMS at the following address: Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA, STOP Code 0201, 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-0201.
Once the proposal is published in the Federal Register, ex parte communication about the substance of the proposal between any U.S. Department of Agriculture representative involved in the decision process and interested persons about the substance of the proposed order is prohibited. Discussion about procedural matters and status reports are permitted.

Children who bully act aggressively toward others. The aggressive acts can be physical, sexual, or verbal. Those targeted are called victims.
Physical bullies may hit, pinch, kick, shove, bite, or pull a victim's hair.
Verbal bullies may insult, start or spread rumors, tease, and make threats.
Sexual bullies may make sexual comments or threaten unwanted sexual acts. The goal is to humiliate the victim. Sexual bullying may also include unwanted touch, such as snapping a bra strap.
Cyberbullies use the Internet, cell phones, or other devices to send or post text or pictures meant to hurt or embarrass another person. Often the text or pictures reach hundreds of people.
The result of growing up a victim of bullying can be very severe. Victims may suffer from anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Their school progress may be slowed. As they grow older, girl victims may become involved in relationships in which they are abused. Some victims attempt suicide out of desperation, believing that no one will help them.
To find out if your child is being bullied, look for these signs:
Confident children are less likely to become victims. Help your child write positive statements about himself on cards, such as "I am a kind and caring person." Encourage your child to look at the cards several times a day. Teach your child to focus on things he is good at and things that make him feel proud. Teach your child to give himself a silent pep talk when feeling picked on.
There is strength in numbers. Bullies tend to go after a child who is alone. Encourage your child to walk down the hall, into the lunchroom, or out to recess with others. Close friends can help protect one another. Your child should stay near others even if they are not close friends. Skills for making friends include how to share, give and take, compromise, change the topic to avoid conflict, apologize when appropriate, and use a friendly approach.
Social skills include things like active listening, praising, taking turns, and helping others. Problem-solve hard social situations and practice ways to respond during the dinner hour. Something that has been practiced is easier to use in a stressful situation. Social skill groups are available in many schools today and books for both parents and children can be found in local libraries and bookstores.
Bullies will notice a child who looks meek. Encourage your child to stand up straight and hold his or her head high. If a bully approaches, your child shouldn't freeze. It is best to walk away and join a group of children.
Bullies are usually stronger and have a lot of friends. More often than not, if victims fight back, the bully will take revenge.
If they receive a phone call, text message, email, picture, or voicemail message that makes them uncomfortable, children should report the cyberbullying to an adult. Children should also refuse to pass along cyberbullying messages, and tell friends to stop cyberbullying.
Establish a relationship with the school. Report incidents of bullying. Try not to get defensive or blame, but don't back down either. Write down what happened and how it was handled. Talk to the principal and teachers about your concerns.
The following 6 strategies can help your child with bullies: Help, Assert yourself, Humor, Avoid, Self talk, Own it. These 6 strategies are easily remembered by children with the phrase "HA HA SO." Have your child picture an invisible shield that drops over them with the letters HA HA SO on it.
H Help. Get help. Find a friend or adult you can count on.
A Assert yourself. Use an "I" statement to protect yourself. Say something like, "I like being different" or "I am sorry you don't want to get to know me better before you call me that."
H Humor. Use humor. Do or say something funny or even something just plain crazy to throw the bully off balance. For example, if called a "chicken," start walking like a chicken and flapping your arms.
A Avoid. Stay away from bullies. If you see a bully and can take another path across the playground, do that.
S Self talk. Give yourself a silent pep talk, reminding yourself of positive things. For example, you might think of something like, "I may not be good at track, but I'm great in band."
O Own it. If the put-down is about clothing or something you can change, just agree with the bully. Say something like, "Yeah, I don't like this sweater either. It sure is ugly, but I wore it because my aunt made it and she is visiting this week." (Caution your child not to use this technique for something that can't be changed, such as skin color or ethnic group.) If the put-down is about something you can't or don't want to change, hold your head high, be proud of who you are, and tell the other child you like being who you are.
There are programs to help schools called "Bully Proofing Your School". Programs cover early childhood, elementary, and middle school. These programs can help children feel safe and secure. Check with your school to see what programs they have and how you can help.

well alittle about me.... i had preeclampsia once before and gave birth to my beautiful son ramon at 26 weeks 2 years ago. he is healthy now.
now i am pregnant again. i am being treat by an awsome doctor to keep my bp in check. i just changed providers because i didnt feel confident in my old doctors abilities to treat me properly, i was right.
my new meds have helped out so much already. the baby seems happier even.
anyhow i would really like to meet up with other pregnant moms who have had preeclampsia before, and are pregnant again. i feel that if we can form soe sort of support group to help each other, and dicuss what is going on, and updates, and just be there for each other. i really want to invite single moms too. because i was a single mom for two years, and i know how much support is needed.
so if you are interested in meeting, and live in snohomish county or can get to the meetings then please let me know. email me.

LETTER: Duke Energy will do the right thing
To the Editor:
Well, it appears to me that the Democratic activist, environmentalist complainers and news media are at it again. We have a Republican governor who once worked for Duke Energy, and all the problems with the power plant ash lakes are his fault. Where was the alarm for the past 75 or so years this same practice has been used to dispose of coal ash? I bet this same group would squeal even louder if the power in their neighborhoods were offline even for an hour or so.
Most of these same complainers don't like nuclear power, don't like dams on our rivers or windmills in their neighborhoods. They are also complaining about who is going to pay for this cleanup. I am sure it will not be the taxpayers, as was the case a few years ago when something on an even larger scale happened at a government-owned TVA plant in Tennessee.
Duke Energy is a good corporate company and will do the right thing. You do not get free power or a free ride when the sun doesn't shine. If we did, then there would be some would complaints about that also. P.S. — Gov. McCrory, please keep up the good work.

In mathematics, an associahedron Kn is an (n − 2)-dimensional convex polytope in which each vertex corresponds to a way of correctly inserting opening and closing parentheses in a word of n letters and the edges correspond to single application of the associativity rule. Equivalently, the vertices of an associahedron correspond to the triangulations of a regular polygon with n + 1 sides and the edges correspond to edge flips in which a single diagonal is removed from a triangulation and replaced by a different diagonal. Associahedra are also called Stasheff polytopes after the work of Jim Stasheff, who rediscovered them in the early 1960s[1] after earlier work on them by Dov Tamari.[2]
The one-dimensional associahedron K3 represents the two parenthesizations ((xy)z) and (x(yz)) of three symbols, or the two triangulations of a square.
The two-dimensional associahedron represents the five parenthesizations of four symbols, or the five triangulations of a regular pentagon. It is itself a pentagon.
The three-dimensional associahedron K5 is an enneahedron with nine faces and fourteen vertices, and its dual is the triaugmented triangular prism.
Initially Jim Stasheff considered these objects as curvilinear polytopes. Subsequently, they were given coordinates as convex polytopes in several different ways; see the introduction of Ceballos, Santos & Ziegler (2011) for a survey.[3]
One method of realizing the associahedron is as the secondary polytope of a regular polygon.[3] In this construction, each triangulation of a regular polygon with n + 1 sides corresponds to a point in (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space, whose ith coordinate is the total area of the triangles incident to the ith vertex of the polygon. For instance, the two triangulations of the unit square give rise in this way to two four-dimensional points with coordinates (1, 1/2, 1, 1/2) and (1/2, 1, 1/2, 1). The convex hull of these two points is the realization of the associahedron K3. Although it lives in a 4-dimensional space, it forms a line segment (a 1-dimensional polytope) within that space. Similarly, the associahedron K4 can be realized in this way as a regular pentagon in five-dimensional Euclidean space, whose vertex coordinates are the cyclic permutations of the vector (1, 2 + φ, 1, 1 + φ, 1 + φ) where φ denotes the golden ratio. Because the possible triangles within a regular hexagon have areas that are integer multiples of each other, this construction can be used to give integer coordinates (in six dimensions) to the three-dimensional associahedron K5; however (as the example of K4 already shows) this construction in general leads to irrational numbers as coordinates.
Another realization, of Loday (2004), is based on the correspondence of the vertices of the associahedron with n-leaf rooted binary trees, and directly produces integer coordinates in (n − 2)-dimensional space. The ith coordinate of Loday's realization is aibi, where ai is the number of leaf descendants of the left child of the ith internal node of the tree (in left-to-right order) and bi is the number of leaf descendants of the right child.[4]
It is possible to realize the associahedron directly in (n − 2)-dimensional space as a polytope for which all of the face normal vectors have coordinates that are 0, +1, or −1. There are exponentially many combinatorially distinct ways of doing this.[3][5]
Because K5 is a polyhedron only with vertices in which 3 edges come together it is possible for a hydrocarbon to exist (similar to the Platonic hydrocarbons) whose chemical structure is represented by the skeleton of K5.[6] This "associahedrane" C14H14 would have the SMILES notation: C12-C3-C4-C1-C5-C6-C2-C7-C3-C8-C4-C5-C6-C78. Its edges would be of approximately equal length, but the vertices of each face would not necessarily be coplanar.
Number of k-faces[edit]
k = 1 2 3 4 5 n 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 3 1 5 5 11 4 1 9 21 14 45 5 1 14 56 84 42 197
The number of n−k-dimensional faces of the associahedron of order n (Kn+1) is given by the number triangle A033282(n,k), shown on the right.
The number of vertices in Kn+1 is the n-th Catalan number (right diagonal in the triangle).
The number of facets in Kn+1 (for n≥2) is the n-th triangular number minus one (second column in the triangle), because each facet corresponds to a 2-subset of the n objects whose groupings form the Tamari lattice Tn, except the 2-subset that contains the first and the last element.
The number of faces of all dimensions (including the associahedron itself as a face, but not including the empty set) is a Schröder–Hipparchus number (row sums of the triangle).[7]

UNICOI — The town of Unicoi now owns the future home of its Mountain Harvest Kitchen.
On Feb. 27, the town closed on the purchase of a building and the nearly 2 acres on which it sits to serve as the town's community kitchen. This property is adjacent to the Unicoi Visitors Information Center.
Mayor Johnny Lynch said the purchase of the building cost around $220,000 and marks the completion of a process that began Feb. 17. At that time, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a measure to purchase the property and to take out the indebtedness necessary to make the buy.
The town of Unicoi said there are no other facilities like the Mountain Harvest Kitchen within 50 miles of the town. Once complete, the facility would allow its users to can and process food. Baking opportunities will also be offered at the kitchen.
The town had budgeted around $725,000 for the project, and has committed around $85,000 to the project. The town has also secured two U.S. Department of Agriculture grants totaling $80,000, as well as an Appalachian Regional Commission grant for $135,000, for the project. The town is also pursuing an Economic Development Administration Grant.
With the property now in hand, Lynch said the town can now begin the process of gutting the building to prepare it for the kitchen and can have an environmental assessment completed, which will aid in grant applications.
"Everything is lined up," Lynch said. "We're ready to start doing some things."
The kitchen, which has been planned for several years, was originally slated for construction on property along Massachusetts Avenue, but these plans were altered due to several factors, Lynch said. Tractor trailers, in many cases due to inaccurate GPS directions, often ended up on the narrow roadway, leading to some getting "stuck" in the residential area. Lynch said officials felt that such trucks would have to make frequent trips to the community kitchen, which could lead to continued headaches.
Lynch said the location next to the information center will provide greater access not only to trucks, but the kitchen's regular users. It will also offer greater convenience, Lynch said, as the kitchen will be located directly off Interstate 26. He said the new location also provides more room for future growth of the facility.
"This is a regional thing, so there's a great likelihood there'll be expansion in the future," Lynch said.
Another factor that played into the relocation of the planned project is cost. Lynch said by utilizing and renovating an existing structure, rather than building one from scratch, the town should realize significant savings.
Most recently, the building to eventually become the community kitchen has served as a church. Lynch said it will be utilized for the purpose until April 1, and the town is helping the church out by allowing it to utilize the information center for services.
Lynch said work on the building could start in April, and the town could break ground on the kitchen this summer. Town officials are hoping to open the facility for use early next year.
Town officials feel the kitchen could serve as a business incubator, as it will allow users to sell products commercially, and they believe it should lead to local job creation.
Lynch said the project is in line with the push for healthier foods. He said the kitchen would provide users with a place to package healthy foods while giving kitchen users the proper training on how to do so safely to meet regulations.
"This is the trend of the future, and this falls right into that trend," Lynch said.comments powered by Disqus

So I beat Crysis 2 yesterday on super soldier and I didn't really feel like I accomplished anything at all. I mean its like "yea I beat this game on super soldier so what?" as opposed to other games I've finished on the hardest difficulty where I feel awesome for a few days.
so I'm wondering if I should really call this an accomplishment or just another "finished game"?
