Tuesday, July 8, 2014
A pair of Dixie Youth all-star tournaments began earlier this week.
On Monday, the DY Minors (9-10) were slated to begin an eight-team, double-elimination district event at Hanahan.
Parks Field, Ladson, Bonneau, Pepperhill, Carolina League, Moncks Corner, Hanahan and Park Circle were the squads vying for a spot in the state tournament. The tournament was scheduled through Saturday.
On Tuesday, the DY Majors (11-12) were to begin a seven-team, double-elimination district tournament at Wescott Park for the right to play in the state tournament. The tournament is slated to end on Friday.
Parks Field, Park Circle, Moncks Corner, Carolina League, Ladson, Hanahan and Pepperhill were to compete.
Both Dixie Youth state tournaments will be held at Freedom Florence in Florence beginning July 18.
Bobby Ison (Stratford and CSU) recently had his best day as a professional in the Arizona Rookie League.
Ison, a 21st round draft pick of the Cleveland Indians in early June, was 3 for 4 with three runs scored and a RBI against the Oakland Athletics affiliate.
Hes played in seven games since turning pro and is batting .192 in 26 at-bats. His other highlight came on June 25 when he had a walk-off single in a 5-4 win over against the Cincinnati Reds affiliate.
Justin Greene (Stratford) continues to pound pitching for the York Revolution. Greene has played in 45 games for the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball franchise and has a league-high.383 batting average.
He has nine doubles, three triples and four home runs for the Revolution. Hes also stolen 13 bases and scored 38 runs.
The Revolution lead the Freedom Division with a 41-29 record and Greene should make the ALPB all-star game July 16 in Sugarland, Texas.
Injured Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters (Stratford) was selected to his third MLB All-Star Game by the fans but will not participate after having season-ending surgery last month. He was hitting .308 with five home runs and 18 RBIs before the surgery.
He will be replaced by Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez as the starter for the American League team.
The MLB All-Star Game is set for July 15.
First baseman Justin Smoak (Stratford) just came off the disabled list for the Seattle Mariners and was sent down to Triple-A.
Smoak was hitting .208 with seven homers for the Mariners.
As of Monday, he was batting .200 (11 of 55) for the Tacoma Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League. He has three doubles, a home run and three RBIs in 15 games.
Ryan Gunther (Stratford) is back in professional baseball after an injury delayed his 2014 start to the season. Gunther, a 12th round pick of the Atlanta Braves last June, has made two appearances for the Gulf Coast League Braves on a rehab assignment.
Hes thrown two innings, allowed two hits and one earned run. Last summer, he was 0-2 with a 2.54 ERA for the Danville Braves of the Appalachian League.
Zach Wimmer (Cane Bay) and Ryan Manore (Hanahan) are pitchers for the Wilmington Sharks of the Coastal Plain League.
Manore is 2-0 with a 6.88 ERA in eight relief appearances. Hes given up 17 hits in 17 innings pitched while striking out 13 batters and walking 11.
Wimmer has thrown 18 innings in 11 relief appearances and has a 3.50 ERA. Hes given up 14 hits and fanned 14 batters while walking 16.
Charleston Southern senior baseball player Chase Shelton earned a spot in the Coastal Plain League All-Star Game in Morehead City, N.C. on July 14. Shelton, an outfielder for the Columbia Blowfish, is batting .264 with three home runs and 19 RBI through 31 games.
The Columbia native was an honorable mention All-Big South selection this past year for CSU as the Bucs won 30 games for the first time in 14 years.

Country Commercial Guide for U.S. Companies
Chapter 5: Trade Regulations and Standards

|In this chapter
Import Tariffs
As a member of the Central American Common Market (CACM), Nicaragua applies a harmonized external tariff on most items at a maximum of 15% with some exceptions. Approximately 95% of tariff lines are harmonized at this rate or lower. In response to rising prices, in 2007, Nicaragua issued a series of decrees to unilaterally eliminate or reduce to 5% tariffs on many basic foodstuffs and consumer goods. These decrees have been extended every six months and are currently in effect through June 30, 2012. The Nicaraguan Customs Authority maintains an online database of import tariffs, including tariffs applicable under CAFTA-DR.
Under CAFTA-DR, approximately 80% of U.S. industrial and consumer goods now enter Nicaragua duty-free, with remaining tariffs phased out by 2015. Nearly all textile and apparel goods that meet the Agreement's rules of origin now enter Nicaragua duty-free and quota-free, promoting new opportunities for U.S. and regional fiber, yarn, fabric, and apparel manufacturing companies.
More than half of U.S. agricultural exports now enter Nicaragua duty free thanks to CAFTA-DR. Nicaragua will eliminate its remaining tariffs on nearly all agricultural goods by 2025, including those on pork, rice, and yellow corn. Nicaragua will eliminate its tariffs on chicken leg quarters and rice by 2023 and on dairy products by 2025. For certain products, such as poultry leg quarters, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) allow duty free access for increasing quantities as tariffs are phased out. Nicaragua will liberalize trade in white corn through expansion of a TRQ, but there is no tariff phase out.
Trade Barriers
The U.S. Embassy receives numerous reports from U.S. businesses and nongovernmental organizations that the Nicaraguan Customs Authority regularly subjects shipments of commercial and even donated goods to bureaucratic delays and arbitrary valuation. Importers and exporters alike accuse customs officials of regularly assessing exorbitant fines for minor administrative discrepancies on paper work. In some cases, shipments are illegally held for days, weeks, months or even years, with no justification provided by customs agents. The U.S. Embassy rarely has success in obtaining information from the Nicaraguan Customs Authority concerning these cases.
The government levies a selective consumption tax (ICS) on many items, as described in Chapter 3 of the Country Commercial Guide: Selling U.S. Products and Services. The tax is not applied exclusively to imports, but imports are taxed on the cost, insurance, and freight value, while domestic goods are taxed on the manufacturer's price. All alcoholic beverages and tobacco products are taxed on the price charged to the retailer.
For motor vehicles, the Nicaraguan Customs Authority levies the ICS according to engine size. New and used automobiles with engines greater than 4000 cc face a tax of 30%, while those with engines less than 4000 cc pay 25%, 3000 cc pay 20%, 2,600 cc pay 15% and less than 1,600 cc pay 10%. U.S. cars with larger engines may face stiff price competition from manufacturers of small cars. The ISC is applied to other motor vehicles based on engine size as well.
Import Requirements and Documentation
An importer must present the following documentation to the Nicaraguan Customs Authority:
- bill of lading
- packing list
- original invoice
- declaration of invoice authenticity
- permits issued by Nicaraguan authorities (if necessary, see below)
- certificate of origin (to determine applicability of CAFTA-DR and other trade agreements)
Importers must also register as a taxpayer with the Nicaraguan Tax Authority. Once they have their tax identification number, they must register it with the Nicaraguan Customs Authority, Legal Affairs Division, which also requires importers to present proof of fiscal solvency on a monthly basis.
The process for sending donations to Nicaragua is to request authorization from the Ministry of Foreign Relations. The donating organization may wish to hire a local customs broker familiar with local customs procedures in order to ensure that the donation is not lost. Customs may seize a shipment if it is not removed from their warehouses after 20 days, but the importer can pay a fine in order to avoid it being auctioned off.
Food and Beverages
- The Ministry of Health, Food Inspection Office issues import permits for food and beverages.
- All imports of non-processed food must be registered with the Ministry of Agriculture, Agricultural Health and Sanitation Office.
- If a product is imported in bulk and packaged in Nicaragua, a phytosanitary or sanitary certificate is required from the country of origin and the Nicaraguan Ministry of Health, Food Inspection Office.
- For sugar, the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Development, International Trade Office issues import licenses.
Medicines and Cosmetics
- The Ministry of Health, Pharmaceutical Office, issues import permits for medicines, cosmetics and hygiene products. Importers must present documentation demonstrating safety and effectiveness and pay fees to obtain a sanitary registration, plus as well as fees for laboratory analysis (this fee varies if the products are made in Nicaragua). To ascertain fee amounts, please contact the Ministry of Health.

- The Fire Department, Fire Prevention Office, issues import permits for new and used cylinders or containers for liquified or other compressed gases.
- The National Police, Firearms and Ammunition Office administers an import permit system for firearms, ammunition, and explosives under the Special Law for Control and Regulation of Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Related Materials (amended 2006/591).
U.S. Export Controls
U.S. firms must secure a permit from the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, to export arms and ammunition to Nicaragua. For exports of other sensitive goods that may have both commercial and military uses, U.S. firms must seek authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security.
Temporary Entry
Under the National Treatment and Market Access for Goods Chapter of CAFTA-DR, Nicaragua must provide duty-free temporary admission for products such as professional equipment, goods for display or demonstration, and commercial samples. The Chapter also includes specific provisions on the international transit of vehicles and containers.
The Ministry of Development, Industry and Trade, through the National Export Commission is responsible for administering Nicaragua's Temporary Admission Law, which defines the circumstances under which merchandise may be imported duty free, primarily in the case of re-export after a transformative process, repair, or alteration. This law only applies to companies that directly or indirectly export at least 25% of total production (no lower than US $ 50,000 per year). The Nicaraguan Customs Authority is responsible for applying this law, and additional information is available by writing to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Labeling and Marking Requirements
The Nicaraguan Technical Standard on Prepackaged Foods for Human Consumption (1999/03-021) requires that prepackaged foods be labeled in Spanish and indicate product origin, contents, price, weight, production date, and expiration date. The Ministry of Development, Industry and Trade, Standards Office, will determine if the product complies with the labeling requirements, once the product has been registered with the Sanitation Office at the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of Health, Pharmaceutical Office, requires that pharmaceutical products be packaged and labeled in Spanish for retail distribution and that their dosages be clearly indicated.
For those companies that are interested in participating in government tenders, sample products must be submitted with the required labels in Spanish.
Nicaragua is a signatory of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. As mandated by the protocol, Nicaragua requires that agricultural goods containing more than 5% living modified organisms (LMOs) be labeled to indicate that they "may contain" LMOs.
Prohibited and Restricted Imports
The Ground Transportation Law (2005/524) prohibits the import of motor vehicles that are more than 10 years old, with the exception of antique cars and donations to the fire department, Red Cross, and religious organizations.
Customs Regulations and Contact Information
The Customs Administration and Trade Facilitation Chapter of CAFTA-DR establishes rules designed to encourage customs transparency, predictability, and efficiency. Under the agreement, Nicaragua must promptly publish its customs measures, including on the Internet. Nicaragua must also release goods from customs promptly and expeditiously clear express shipments.
The Central American Uniform Customs Code establishes harmonized customs procedures for Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras, including uniform documents, electronic transmission of customs information, and electronic prepayment of charges, tariffs and taxes.
Importers must use the services of a licensed customs broker. Nicaragua applies the World Trade Organization Agreement on Customs Valuation to determine customs duties. Many importers report, however, that the Nicaraguan Customs Authority misclassifies goods in order to apply a higher duty rate. They also allege that officials apply arbitrary reference prices. Several U.S. companies have reported having property stolen from a bonded warehouse at the port of Corinto, while port authorities and Customs officials refuse to intervene. Information on current customs regulations can be obtained from the Nicaraguan Customs Authority at Tel: (505) 2249-5719 or (Fax) 505-2249-5720 (fax).

Press release from Biogen Idec:
Roche and Biogen Idec announced today their decision to suspend Ocrelizumab treatment of patients in the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) programme. The decision follows the recommendation of the independent Ocrelizumab RA & Lupus Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) based on their assessment of the studies in RA (SCRIPT, FEATURE, FILM and STAGE) and lupus (BELONG and BEGIN).
The DSMB concluded that the safety risk outweighs the benefits observed in these specific patient populations at this time. The DSMB review detected an infection related safety signal which included serious and opportunistic infections, some of which were fatal.

ATLANTA (AP) - A 9-year-old Atlanta boy who police say was abducted for a short time from his driveway is being praised by community leaders for his calm as he sang the gospel song "Every Praise" until the man released him.
Willie Myrick recounted the story at a recent gathering in his honor. He says as he sang, the man drove around and was cursing before eventually letting him go unharmed last month.
WXIA-TV reports that Grammy Award-winning gospel singer Hezekiah Walker, who performed the song, traveled to Atlanta to meet the boy.
Walker says he believes God spoke through him to save the boy's life.
Police have a sketch of the suspect and are searching for him.
More details on what the boy told police about what happened on March 31 weren't available.

Vanilla or Chocolate?
My first though is what kind of question is that? What are talking about here? This could go SO many ways…
Let's start with ice cream, shall we?
My defaults are coffee and mint chocolate chip. But if homemade is a possibility, I want my dad's strawberry ice cream. When I was 9 or 10, he came home from South Carolina with a hand-crank ice cream maker. The kind that requires rock salt and lots of man power. That strawberry ice cream was the BEST strawberry ice cream I've ever had and I've tried to find some as good and always come away disappointed.
Milk shakes? Strawberry, peach or Oreo. I know this will be shocking but they are specifically McDonald's strawberry milk shake, Hardee's peach milk shake (at least this one had real fruit in it), and Applebee's Oreo milk shake. I haven't had any of these in YEARS, though every time we drive past a Hardee's when I'm down south, I think about peach milk shakes.
Sugar wafer cookies? Chocolate wins here. (If you don't know what a sugar wafer cookie is: http://www.voortman.com/wafers.php)
The best combination of both? My friend L brought me these Swiss chocolates that are vanilla-filled. They are heaven in the shape of heart….

Was My Child's Brain Injury Preventable?
There are risks in the birthing process, and serious injuries can occur even when the doctor and hospital staff did everything they were supposed to do. However, sometimes brain injury is caused by the failure of the doctor or hospital staff to respond appropriately to fetal distress. Brain injury in a newborn is usually caused by oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) during the birthing process. In many cases, medical professionals can prevent hypoxia by carefully monitoring the child and performing an emergency caesarian section if necessary.
Lawyer Rob Lovett will review your hospital records and consult with qualified experts to determine if your doctor and hospital staff did everything they were supposed to do.

School of Engineering
Nanotechnology at Grand Valley State University
Nanotechnology is expected to reshape everything we know, design, or make. As it goes outside the lab and into production, the associated potential for growth in nanotechnology is limitless. To maintain an edge in a global competition, nanotechnology needs a workforce that is exponentially increasing.
This project contributes to the building of this workforce through building an infrastructure for education in nanotechnology that is sustainable and continuous, with coverage from pre-college, to graduate levels. (This website presents the different aspects of this project.)
Please take a moment to explore this website and let us know your thoughts.
You can contact any of the PIs by clicking Contact us in the navigation bar.
Our goal is to develop and integrate a sustainable nanotechnology education program into the undergraduate engineering and science curricula.

Ave Maria, its a girl!
Conversation: A life of faith straight between the posts - Frank Hyde, football player, coach, journalist, broadcaster
By Damir Govorcin
Frank Hyde, MBE, OAM, regarded as the doyen of rugby league broadcasters, has packed a great deal of living into his 86 years.
He has been a player, coach, administrator, journalist (he wrote a sporting column for The Catholic Weekly for 25 years), pop star (he had a top 10 hit in the 1970s with Danny Boy), charity worker, family man (he and wife Gaby married for 60 years have six children) and devout Catholic.
Only a recent heart attack has threatened to slow down one of lifes true gentleman.
Frank says that, on reflection, his faith has been the driving force behind his impressive list of achievements.
I was a product of the Depression, so everything I have achieved in my life is a direct result of my faith, he says.
I hate to think where I would have ended up if I didnt believe in Christ. It helped me get through some tough times, and I have never forgotten the sacrifices my parents made.
Frank has never been one to beat his own drum, but his contribution to the game of rugby league in particular and to society in general has been enormous.
As a broadcaster, Hyde was seen as a trail-blazer, revolutionising the way the game was called.
His memorable Its high enough, its long enough and its straight between the posts, will go down in the annals of sports broadcasting.
Frank ruled the airwaves with radio station 2SM for 31 years, never being beaten in the ratings. Sports broadcasters in Australia today will tell you they owe him a great debt.
Most of todays callers were smart enough to realise there will only ever be one Frank Hyde and werent silly enough to try to copy him, says columnist Mike Gibson.
In the business of calling football matches, Frank created a wonderful tradition that todays commentators have carried on.
I dont think any of them will ever be Frank Hyde, nor would they want to be. I think everyone in the radio game accepts that Frank Hyde alone was the voice of rugby league and always will be.
As a devout Catholic Frank has spent all his life helping the less fortunate. It was not uncommon for him to finish calling a game at the Sydney Cricket Ground, then venture across to the Matthew Talbot Hostel where his duties would include arranging the beds for the night and helping residents wash.
Its funny because I would go down to help and the
residents would abuse me for giving the man of the match award to the wrong bloke, he recalls. It was all in good fun.
But, seriously, helping the less fortunate made me never take things in my life for granted.
Long-time friend and fellow broadcaster John Brennan says Hyde should be classified by the National Trust as an Australian treasure.
Hes a national icon, a sacred personage, and I dont think other commentators have ever had the vision that Frank had, he says.
Frank had a profound influence on my life. He upheld all the great traditional Christian values. He stood, and still stands, for all that is good in life. He is disciplined, a loving family man, a devout Christian.
Come December, Frank and his wife Gaby will be celebrating their 60th anniversary.
Frank says jokingly that he doesnt know why Gaby has stayed with him for so long. But he adds that he would be nothing without her. Tolerance and love have been the cornerstones of their relationship, he says.
We have had our ups and downs, but I have grown to love Gaby even more, he says.
God has been so good to me in many respects, and everything I have in life would mean nothing without her.
We have learnt to be tolerant of one another, and to never forget that we love each other.
Last month, Frank sent a scare through his family and friends when he suffered a heart attack.
He has been in and out of hospital ever since, but insists that he is slowly on the road to recovery.
His poor health forced him to turn down an invitation to a Kangaroo Tour reunion dinner and to miss the one-off Test match in which Australia defeated Great Britain 64-10.
Im still under doctors orders, so I have to play it on the safe side, he said. Im working my way back to health and plan to be around for some time yet.
Such is his standing in the game that even though he never made a Kangaroo Tour to Great Britain and France, Frank continually gets invited to the reunion dinners.
Former Australian Rugby League boss Ken Arthurson says: The Kangaroos are a pretty select club, as they should be, and they do not welcome outsiders to their annual get-together.
But Frank is asked, and on a regular basis.
I think the thing that appeals to me most about Frank Hyde, and why I genuinely like him, like listening to him speak, and why I am so interested in his views on things, is that the man is so sincere.
He is a very decent, highly principled person and its that quality of sincerity in the way he speaks and the way in which he conducts his life that endears him to people.

Love this. Better than the local restaurants. I cheated and used store bought ashta but home made would be better I'm sure but we are also gluten free so that rules the bread out. I used a little mango nectar instead of the fragrant mango purée since I didn't have mangos on hand. For the fragrant avocado purée I added more than http://www.food.com/recipe/authentic-middle-eastern-syrup-for-pastries-asl-480968 by mistake and it was too sweet, so stick to the amount or maybe less. I used fresh strawberries, banana & a cherry on topfor the fruit. I also used both chopped pistachios & slivered almonds plus a good drizzle of pretty good liquid honey and some http://www.bakersroyale.com/basic-baking-series/baking-basics-how-to-make-homemade-dulce-de-leche instead of caramelizing sugar with a blow torch, to garnish. I will make this encore!Posted the 23/07/2012, 19:31

^ has great stylish AE templates!
Hello there, fellow authors! I'm already a relatively active author on Videohive and now I'd like to become an author here on Photodune too. But I'd like to be certain about a few things before I submit my portfolio and (hopefully) start uploading.
- Are there any situations at all when it's acceptable to submit under/overexposed photos? For example, a photo with high contrast, slightly underexposed in a small dark area, but still aesthetically pleasing. Or perhaps, if I have a photo in RAW format, where it's possible to prevent clipping by adjusting shadows/highlights without losing any detail?
- What would be acceptable for photos of isolated objects on white background? The background being overexposed, the background being exposed as I please and later removed in Photoshop, or the background being evenly lit but not overexposed and not modified in Photoshop at all?
- Is it recommended to attach fine tuned XMP profiles next to RAW photos?
In a quick search I didn't find answers to my questions, but I apologize in advance if this has already been answered somewhere.
In short: PHP is a server side scripting language. It is most commonly used together with MySQL (database) to generate dynamic web pages.
I'm not really good at explaining these things, but I'll try to give you an example of using HTML , PHP and MySQL together: You have a website with an input box where you ask visitors how do they like your new site. Below there are displayed three randomly selected submitted opinions. When someone submits their opinion, it gets sent to the server and PHP writes it into the database. When someone visits your site, before the HTML is sent to your web browser, it is generated by PHP on the server – in this case it looks into the database, randomly selects three opinions, "writes them down" and then sends that generated page to your web browser.
But really, you don't need to worry about that. Themes have plenty of user friendly options for customizing almost every aspect of them and knownledge of HTML or PHP is not required in order to use Wordpress and themes.
I see your current web site is static HTML based. For a start I'd suggest you to install Wordpress and maybe try out a free theme or two, if you haven't done this already. Themes that you'll find on Themeforest are usually more feature-full than free themes and have a very good documentation on how to use their features.
I'm not familiar with Godaddy, but many hosting providers usually have an "easy install" option for popular frameworks like Wordpress. Once you install Wordpress, installing a theme is not very difficult. However, if you decide to customize the theme more than its user interface allows you to, you will have to edit PHP files, so some basic PHP knownledge wouldn't hurt.
I used to get angry with reCAPTCHA too sometimes… But once I got to know the other purpose they serve, I actually take time now and try my best to solve them correctly. In short: by solving reCAPTCHAs you're helping to digitize books. Here's more: http://www.google.com/recaptcha/learnmore
rover5 saidFirst 25 pages of stock footage sorted by date, all by the same author… Wow!! I feel so small…
I guess the system has difficulties to handle the mass upload. The user with the three footage places on the front page got several hundred clips approved lately.
...you are continuously refreshing your author dashboard page and at the end of the day your progress bar gets stuck at 99% and you realize you're in for another night of uncertainty whether or not your items will be approved.
I must say however, the progress bar is moving much faster these days on the VideoHive.
When uploading stock footage on VideoHive I don't see any changes – the form looks the same. Is that intentional?

Charles Esten Spills on Rayna and Deacon's Future on Nashville
The tension between star-crossed former lovers Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) and Rayna James (Connie Britton) is part of what makes Nashville one of our favorite fall shows.
But how will their relationship unfold? First, Rayna cancels her tour. Then Deacon starts a relationship with Juliette (Hayden Panettiere). If Rayna and Deacon were hoping to get together, those were bad first steps.
"For the first time, Deacon and Rayna don't have each other in the way they have had before," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It won't stay that way forever, I'm sure. Deacon knows what Rayna's facing and what she has to do but he's angry now and he's been hurt a little too much."
They may be facing tough times now, but as we've seen, Deacon has a hard time setting boundaries with his ex-flame.
"That's always hard to do," said Charles. "I imagine he'll set some in his mind and put some forth but when he's around her, it's Rayna and she's got the deepest hold on his heart."
And as for Deacon's relationship with Juliette jeopardizing things? Charles says they've only scratched the surface with that pairing.
"[Rayna] can't say much, she's married!" he explained. "She always expects more out of Deacon and thinks so little of Juliette even though Deacon has gotten to know her... Rayna doesn' t understand it yet and it's a strange but interesting dynamic between Juliette and Deacon."

Access the wilder parts of Ngorongoro, not just the Crater
Guide Price: From: $575 To: $730
This little camp, private, simple in design and unassuming quite simply offers one of the richest safari experiences available. There are few props here; no spas, TVs or archery on offer, and the camp relies on those illusive, but definitive ingredients; superb service and guiding, total privacy and most importantly front row seats at a private wilderness experience startlingly at odds with anything you'll experience in the course of your daily life.
Nomad's Ngorongoro Wilderness Mobile is a private tented camp that moves with you in the middle of one of the best game areas in the world. Without a doubt the most exclusive way to experience the Ngorongoro Highlands at your own pace, whether game driving, on a walking safari or a combination of both. These camps give you real flexibility, allowing you to move every couple of days, and we actually think this is the best way to see Serengeti National Park, Loliondo and the Ngorongoro Crater and Highlands.
Take a week or so and spend a few days in each location, moving at your own pace. The camp is lightweight enough to be mobile, but still very comfortable. The tents are large walk-in ones, the beds are camp beds and the loos are outside instead of being ensuite. Best of all, the camp is private. Just for you. And though you may think this sounds excessive, there is nothing like coming back to your own camp, run by a small professional crew to find hot showers are waiting for you, followed by drinks around the fire and properly good food - a three course meal in the camp's mess tent or better still under the stars - you decide.
Natural High shines rays of adventurous light into some of the least explored, most exciting corners of the wider world
Financial Times - How To Spend It
Private mobile tented camp for up to 8 guests

A series of mountains, ridges & open plains created along the length of the Rift Valley from the Eyasi rift to Lake Natron this is a great area for walking & camping safaris with some truly spectacular views from the peaks, some of which reach over 11,000ft above sea level.

Durham native part of 'Marvel Universe Live!'
Joseph Cox has been using his skills in dance, acrobatics and other movement arts as a member of the Marvel Comics pantheon of heroes and villains. Cox, who grew up in Durham, will play both types of roles in the touring show of "Marvel Universe Live!," which comes to PNC Arena this month.
The show features martial artists, aerialists, acrobats, precision bike riders, stunt performers and more. "I come from a dance background," Cox said, and he also practices parkour (a type of movement based on military obstacle courses). Before signing on to the Marvel show, he was an acrobat in "Pirates Voyage" in Myrtle Beach, and he danced in the Broadway tour of "The Lion King." "I was brought on primarily because of my background with acrobatics and martial arts," Cox said. "All of these disciplines I get to utilize in the show."
The basic plot of "Marvel Universe Live!" will be familiar to fans of "The Avengers" movie, and Marvel's stable of comic book characters. Loki, Thor's villainous brother, is on a mission to use the powers of the Cosmic Cube, a source of power. Thor shattered the cube into many pieces to prevent its power falling into the wrong hands.
To defeat Loki and his allies, Marvel heroes, including The Avengers (Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man and Wolverine) travel the globe to gather the pieces. They must battle Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Madame Hydra and other Marvel villains in their quest.
Cox plays a variety of roles, sometimes the allies of Loki, but he also is the understudy for heroes Nick Fury and Flying Falcon.
Flying Falcon requires him to do a lot of aerial work, but so does a scene when he is one of the villains trying to attack Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel is on a cat walk in this scene, "and we have to literally climb our way up to the platform to do battle with her," he said. Captain Marvel keeps knocking them down, but they have to bounce right back. Cox said he found these "high fall stunts challenging and fun and interesting as well."
The show will tour 85 cities (Raleigh is the second stop) and feature more than 25 Marvel characters. In addition to lots of movement, the show's set will take up the entire PNC Arena floor. Projections and the set's multi levels are meant to give the audience a 3-D effect.
Cox earned his bachelor of fine arts degree with a concentration in dance at the N.C. School of the Arts. He credits his teachers at Hillside High School for sparking his interest in pursuing a life in the arts. Dance teacher Lisa Wilder and drama teacher Wendell Tabb were "the first directors who set me on my path to being a professional performer," he said. Cox had always been interested in the arts, but not necessarily as a career. Wilder "talked me into taking a dance class as an elective. … I actually learned I had a little bit of talent for it," and he kept taking dance through high school, Cox said. Later, he auditioned for Tabb's productions, and performed in several of his shows that traveled to South America and West Africa, he said. "I'm glad I had these two people early in my career to give me the tools and the confidence I needed," Cox said.
Cox said he came to the Marvel Comics universe through television and games, rather than the comic books exclusively. Working on the production, Cox said he has enjoyed learning more about characters that are not as well known, and he thinks audiences will too. The audiences also will be wowed by the costumes, he said. "The costumes in the show are so elaborate and detailed. I don't think I have been involved with any show that has this level of detail," Cox said. The costume designers "put lots of emphasis on being true to the characters that people have come to love."
WHAT: "Marvel Universe Live!"
WHEN: July 18-20. Shows are at 7 p.m. July 18; 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. July 19; and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. July 20
WHERE: PNC Arena, 1400 Edwards Mill Road, Raleigh

The Bhutanese Refugee Resettlement Journey Part 1: Pre-Departure
Education's important, if education is there, everything is there. (Adult male)
Although the Bhutanese refugee camps in Nepal have been cited as models of their type in various ways, they have nevertheless provided highly constrained environments. Camps did not support a normal infrastructure for civil society: there was no unrestricted field for private enterprise in goods and services and limited local government or professional sectors in which refugees could gain employment or training. The major exception was education. In contrast to other areas of professional endeavour, education gave scope for the employment of refugees with appropriate training and offered an avenue of training and at least a potential route for career development for camp refugees.
The importance of education can be seen in participants' hopes and visions of a future life after resettlement.
Education within the camps
Access to schooling is widely available within the camps in Nepal. The nine main schools have on average 4,000 pupils. It is estimated that over 40 percent of the refugee population attends education within the camps. Classes are conducted in Nepali and English and follow a modified version of the Bhutanese curriculum. Refugees staff and manage the schools, and schoolrooms are temporary structures made from bamboo and grass. The UNHCR funds primary education, which caters from pre-primary to grade 8, and CARITAS funds secondary education grades 9 and 10. Upper secondary education (grades 11 and 12) and university students must go outside camps to nearby government or private campuses to study. Limited resources are available to fund these students.
The younger members of the study participants displayed a commitment to high educational achievement, at least inasmuch as it was available through the camp education system. Of the 17 people aged 18 to 31 years in the sample, 7 defined themselves as students when they were interviewed. Education was highly regarded by study participants, young and old, the highly educated and illiterate. This may be a traditional view as one respondent said, 'education is part of culture' (adult female). Certainly, education had come to play an important role in camp culture and there was a broad consensus on the issue:
Education is very important for development. (Young adult female)
Education's important. If education is there, every thing is there. (Adult male)
Family members who had missed out on education regarded it as essential for their children's development:
My kids have education is important, if they are provided education I would be hopeful. (Middle-aged male)
My children are young, not educated. Education for my children and if possible my husband also to go to school. (Adult female)
The education system of these camps has been held up as exemplary and as having effective teacher training and support and an exam system that has produced high levels of participation, motivation, cooperation and orderliness among students (Brown, 2001). Study participants looked to their education as the key to a better life after resettlement.
Role of education after resettlement
Camp residents appear to have understood at least some of the shortcomings of the education system operating in the refugee camps. Those who had had education, and those who had not, joined in consensus that they wanted better education after resettlement: 'we hope that it is different than this' said a young woman; 'here our teacher comes in a week and [teachers] change frequently'; 'I hope their education is better than here' (middle-aged male). New Zealand schooling was also expected to be better:
I think all schools are very good in New Zealand … It is a highly developed country. (Adult male)
A few had concerns about securing an education in New Zealand. One parent feared the cost of education would be prohibitive, even if it were available:
I think a good school is an English-medium school, it may be expensive, [might need] temporary support. (Adult male)
However, most expressed no such fear.
Older study participants wanted education not for academic or career purposes but to equip them for daily life after resettlement, for practical day-to-day management of their own lives in a new society. An illiterate woman declared, 'I wish if possible that my husband goes to school. My husband would like to study English' so the family could get by in the new country. Another man declared that he and his wife wanted 'to get a chance to talk openly and to go to medical hospitals and the market … For me and my wife we need education from the beginning for language' (middle-aged male).
Younger people tended to think of education and employment. There was a sense of frustration at the lack of opportunities for higher education or employment after study while restricted to camps in Nepal. Resettlement in New Zealand was seen as an opportunity to further education in order to secure employment: 'without education we will not get a job' (adult male) and 'after completing education we might get jobs' (young adult female).
Some participants had ambitious plans. A few wanted professional employment in occupations with which they could have had very little personal or practical experience in refugee camps. 'I would like to learn accounting' said a young woman, and others wanted advanced tertiary education:
To go ahead I may need vocational training … to start with to get income but I also want academic. (Adult male)
English language acquisition
The Lhotshampa speak Nepali. However, up to 35 percent of Bhutanese refugees have some functional knowledge of English (Cultural Orientation Resource Centre, 2007). Everyone recognised the importance of English; language acquisition would be a prerequisite to a bright future.
Not only was English seen as an essential asset in managing to take advantage of life in New Zealand, it was seen as promising access to the world:
English is worldwide. We will fit in if we know this. (Young adult female)
The sample population fell into four 'natural' groups in regard to English language acquisition.
First, there were the very young, preschool or school-aged children of participants who had had some access to English language tuition within the camps. These children are likely to learn well within a school system and are likely to require very little by way of additional English language support after an initial period in New Zealand. Certainly, participants in our sample took for granted the ability to learn English as a critical part of the education of their children. Parents in the sample who had had little education themselves tended to assume that camp teaching had already equipped their children with English:
My children understand English it is important for my children [to learn English]. (Middle-aged male)
Secondly, there were young adults who had had a camp education, but had acquired only limited English competence. For instance, one young man, who had been in camp since he was aged 7, said, 'if it's necessary to learn the language then I have to learn'. Most people of his age appeared to have been taught at least some English, although they might have had reservations about understanding English spoken with a New Zealand accent.
Thirdly, there were older parents and grandparents who did not speak English but who had younger family members who spoke English and were expected to support their elders. These older people expressed some willingness to learn English, although they might be over-optimistic about their ability. For instance, one older man explained that he wanted 'to speak the language. I want to know the language. Whatever help I need you should all help us with'. Some of the older generation had already applied themselves to the challenge. 'Language class in camp is being attended by my mother', one young woman explained. Generally, younger people tended to have had more understanding of the challenges their elders would face in learning a new language and they expressed concern for their parents and grandparents who would find English harder to learn than they expected:
Parents are illiterate so need education from the beginning. (Young adult female)
For older parents, better to teach little as they may be too old for classes. (Adult male)
For our parents we will also be there to teach. We will need to teach [our illiterate elders] with visual material. (Young adult male)
Fourthly, there were middle-aged adults who were not literate in English but who need to become economically self-sufficient in New Zealand to support their families in the longer term. This group is likely to have the biggest challenges in terms of needing to learn English rapidly to navigate in New Zealand society and, ultimately, to be able to be independent and support their families. Most recognised that they would need to acquire English. As one man declared:
We should learn the language … to learn in official work … If someone comes from an office we need to be able to give answers to them. (Middle-aged male)
This view was echoed by others:
To find a job English is important, to communicate with offices and to communicate with people. (Young adult male)
To learn language is important. I don't understand a lot today. Language classes and school are important to learn[ing]. (Middle-aged male)
The challenge of learning English might be greater for women than for men in this group, although this is not to discount the willingness of women to learn. For instance, one woman explained that she knew 'after arriving there we would have to learn English. I think I have to learn English'. But there were indications that women tended to be less literate than men camp communities. As one man said, his main concern about resettlement was to 'give wife a chance to study to improve understanding'. Several children were concerned about the illiteracy of their mothers. 'My father can speak English but my mother cannot' said one young man. He went on, 'I hear the Government has a language class so that may help my mother learn'. He was echoed by others, 'To help my mother learn English we would have to teach her at home' (adult female).
Summary of perspectives of education and English language acquisition
Continuing education and gaining English language competence were highly important to those interviewed and seen as critical for their future in New Zealand. The opportunity to have access to education and in turn to enter professional employment was highly valued and viewed as a way to give back to New Zealand society. The awareness and desire to learn or improve English literacy was apparent and the motivation and ambition to do so strong. This, particularly among the younger generation, will need to be carefully managed to avoid potential disappointment and frustration during the initial resettlement period.

Paul Newman saves Bombers
Captain inspired performance sees Bombers across the line.August 13, 2014 3:40am
Another Paul Newman master class and another Kyabram win.
But if you weren't there to see it, don't be fooled by the 52-point winning margin the Bombers had at the final siren against cellar dweller Mansfield at Kyabram on Saturday.
Only a dominant last quarter saved Kyabram's skin after a major upset was looming at the last change with Mansfield 10 points in front and answering every challenge the home side put to it.
In fact, it was hard to fathom that it was the third team on the ladder playing the bottom side.

Prestera Center to receive funding for BRIGHT Program
HUNTINGTON — Prestera Center for Mental Health Services will receive more than $438,000 for its BRIGHT program, which helps people suffering from mental illnesses.
The Prestera Center's BRIGHT—Behavioral Health Resources Integrated with Good Health care Techniques—Program, which is funded through the Department of Health and Human Services, aims to improve the overall wellness and physical health status of people with serious mental illnesses by making available coordinated primary care services in the community mental health care setting. Prestera is joining forces with Valley Health Systems, a private non-profit West Virginia primary care corporation, to form the BRIGHT program. The program involves a strong evaluation component to be executed by the WVU Department of Behavioral Medicine.
"It's an honor to work on such an important issue such as mental health integration, and to work with valley health projects to make this project a tremendous success," said Bob Hansen, executive director of Prestera Center. "This four-year grant addresses coordination of health care services at the community level. We truly appreciate Congressman Rahall's support."
"These funds will drive better mental health through stronger physical health," added West Virginia Congressman Nick Rahall. "I commend the Prestera Center and their efforts to help people in southern West Virginia become economically independent and lead more productive lives."

Are You in Your Element? Where is the Intersection of Your Talent and Passion? How to Find it HERE with Sir Ken Robinson
One of my all time most popular DishyMix guests is Sir Ken Robinson. He has a new book out called, "The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything." Sir Ken is an international leader in human potential and creativity and education.
Here's an excerpt from my interview with Sir Ken about finding your passion and being in "the element."
Susan Bratton: Sir Ken, when I read your book I really felt like what you did was kick open the door to a new realm of talent assessment tools. I, poof, popped into a whole new place where there was so much more for me to understand about myself and the people that I love and work with, about their talents and their capabilities. You referenced a lot of people's work and stitched it together, with your own special spin and look at humans and their unique ways of being. Please describe The Element for us. Give us that level set.
Sir Ken Robinson: Okay, well The Element, the title comes from an expression that a lot of people use, and I hear myself saying, you know, which is that people do their best when they do the thing they love, when they're in their element. And I thought, "Well what is that exactly", because it's clear to me in my experience that an awful lot of people do things for a living that they don't really like doing, they don't much enjoy it, they just get on with it because they have found their way into it and, you know, they live their lives in a kind of low grade sense of tolerance, is what they do.
And yet I also meet lots of people that actually love what they do and couldn't really imagine doing anything else. You know, they're in their element, so to speak. Well it's two things it seems to me. One of them is to be in your element you have to be doing something that you have a natural attitude for, a natural feel. And the truth is, we all have very, very different attitudes. You know, we take the things in very different ways. But it's not enough to be doing something you're good at, because I know lots of people who do things they're good at that they don't really much like doing. To be in your element you have to love it too. And if you are doing something you're good at and something that you also love to do, that seems to me to be the perfect place and that's what being in your element is.
Susan Bratton: So it's the intersection of your talent and your passion… And that was the point in the book. It doesn't matter what your talents are if you don't love them. If you're really good at numbers and they bore you to death, don't do it. If you love plants and growing things and that's your passion and it's a part of your talent, that's where you should be.
Sir Ken Robinson: That's right. And it applies definitely to people in all sorts of different walks of life, you know. For some people it's math, for some people it's working with people, it's teaching, it's doing what you're doing now, you know, or it's, it could be cooking or raising families, or anything at all. I mean our attitudes are very different, and that's in a way a major point in the book. You know, the book is really about diversity and celebrating difference.
Susan Bratton: You wrote, "The best hope for the future is to develop a new paradigm of human capacity to meet a new era of human existence." I think that goes to what you're saying, that every one of us has a unique talent. You know, you've been very critical of our education system being a part of the industrial revolution mechanism. That we are thinking about people's talents and pigeon holing them as well, and you want to get out of that and find a lot of new ways. What are some of the things that we can do as people who manage other people for example, to create this new era of human existence?
Sir Ken Robinson: The shift I'm talking about, as you say, is from an old model, not just of education but of the mind to, a richer model. You know, the current systems education are intended to develop our ability to work, among other things. But the way in which it's done is rooted so much in the 19th century models of industrial manufacture, that most people now I think never truly discover their own talents through the process of being educated. I have lots of people in the work, I've interviewed all kinds of people in the arts and sciences, in business, in not for profits, and many of them didn't do well at school at all, they. They went on to do brilliantly well afterwards, once they discovered their real talents.
I don't mean to say that in order to succeed you have to have failed at school first; I mean that would be pushing this a bit far. But it is true that education is designed to identify certain sorts of talents and not all talents. That's, by the way, education, traditional education at its best. The problem now I think is that our school systems have become so oppressed and stifled by standards of systemized testing that their not even succeeding in their traditional market, so to speak. So a lot of people come through the system never really know what they're good at…
And I think for companies and organizations, and for parents and families, what I'm trying to argue for is we have to go back and think very differently about the nature of human intelligence and the nature of human ability. We're grown up with a whole set of ideas that we take for granted about our natural abilities, and the result of it is I think we have a very impoverished view of our own potential, and I think companies have a very impoverished view very often of the real talents that align there in the people they employ.

DENVER, Colo. – For the third time this season, New Mexico State softball player Staci Rodriguez was named Hitter of the Week by the Western Athletic Conference. The award is for the week of April 22-28 and is the fifth honor for the Aggies this season.
Rodriguez, a sophomore outfielder from Paramount, Calif., led the Aggies to a three-game sweep over Seattle U last week to remain atop the WAC standings. She posted a .750 batting average, a .800 on-base percentage and a staggering 2.000 slugging percentage with one double, three home runs and eight RBI in her three games. In Friday night's series opener, she was 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. In the come-from-behind win over the Redhawks in the series finale, Rodriguez hit two three-run home runs. Her first of that game gave the Aggies the initial 3-0 lead over Seattle U in the first inning. She came back for her second shot in the bottom of the seventh to close the gap to 7-6 and give NM State the momentum to come back for a walk-off 9-7 win to sweep the series. With 20 bombs this season, Rodriguez ranks second at NM State and seventh in the WAC in single-season home runs. With the eight RBI last week, she is now tied for second place at NM State and tied for 10th in the WAC in single-season RBI with 62.
NM State (35-15, 16-2 WAC) now sits two games ahead of second-place San Jose State going into the final weekend of the regular season. The Aggies and the Spartans have secured the top-two spots in the WAC Tournament and will battle for the regular-season title on May 3-4, in San Jose, Calif. A battle for the regular-season WAC title is up for grabs in San Jose with game one is set for 4 p.m. on Friday, May 3, and the doubleheader on Saturday is set for 1 p.m.

Muskegon Community College officials praised the response from the school's wrestlers, who police say were secretly videotaped while showering.
College officials said the wrestlers prevented more people from becoming victims.
The wrestlers initiated a quick response from campus security officers, who held Ninos Danny Jando of Illinois until police arrived. A subsequent investigation indicated Jando may have videotaped a number of unsuspecting men while showering at various gyms in Michigan and Illinois, law enforcement officials have said.

White earns gold with Cadet team
Rio Mesa High's Danny White has had quite a summer in water polo.
The junior was on the gold medal Cadet National Team in the Dominican Republic, which went unbeaten in nine games.
White's Santa Barbara Water Polo Club team placed ninth in the Junior Olympics in San Jose and earlier in the season, the Cadet team finished second in a tournament in Montenegro. White is a 2-meter defender.
Malibu's Maxx Bricklin, a Harvard-Westlake student, and Royal's Scott Snyder, are also Cadet team members. Snyder was ill and didn't make the Montenegro trip, but played with the high school team in Hawaii, which just returned home. Bricklin is a driver and Snyder a utility player.
White started playing water polo in the middle of the eighth grade with the Titans Youth Club team, which plays out of the Rio Mesa High Community Pool. He's a second-year Cadet player and serves as team captain for his Santa Barbara club team.
Coach Rich Griguoili of Santa Barbara also serves as the Zone team coach. White will be team captain for his high school team, coached by Derrick Timmons. As a freshman, White earned the coaches award and honorable mention All-Pacific View League. Last season, he was co-MVP and first team all-league.
More than 100 boys competed for spots on the 25-man California Coastal Cadet Team and the zone team finished third in a national tournament over Memorial Day Weekend. From the 400 boys in the national tournament, 40 are chosen for a travel team.
White's goal is to play college water polo.
Before high school, White figured to follow in the football footsteps of two cousins, Donny and Brian DiDomizio, at Rio Mesa, but once White discovered how much fun water polo could be, he hasn't stopped his quest for success.
He starts training Monday with Rio Mesa for the fall season.
