Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Nice helmet very nice and fits great Fred - June 21, 2012 (Baltimore, MD) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit gsxr airframe helmets This helmet not only looks great, but the comfort is awesome and the colors are beautiful. Match my gsxr perfect. The price even better… motorcycle-superstore prices are the best on the market. Jose - April 04, 2012 (Dover , PA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit very nice helmet... This is my second icon helmet and im very pleased with all icon products. This airframe helmet is about as nice as it gets. And at this closeout price you couldnt find a better helmet. Looks, airflow, protection, visability, and comfort are 2nd to none. Buy with confidence. You will not be disapointed. Very pleased with my purchase and motorcycle superstore is the only store to buy motorcylce gear. Great customer service, fast shipping, and great prices. Jake T - January 19, 2012 (Canyon Country, CA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Airframe better than Alliance I have tried various helmets, Shoei, XPEED, Icon's Alliance helmets, and the Airframe is far superior with the air flow. I remember that in 100 degree heat, I was sweating bullets at a signal light, the moment I moved, instant evaporation. The other helmets took a bit of time to cool, but this one was practically instant. Though at high speeds, the wind noise is proportionally louder. The side plates and visor removals are a challenge compared to Shoei's easy removal system. James - August 31, 2011 (Los Angeles, CA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Worth the $$ I've had this helmet for over 2 years now and I've been very satisfied with the performance and look of the helmet. If you order the right size this helmet will fit pretty snug compared to others and will prevent a lot of that bobble-head that some of the other guys have mentioned. This helmet has an awesome look that will get the heads turning (especially with the tinted visors). Another bonus is that I've yet to run into anyone that has worn this helmet which is rare in the riding world. Spend the extra money, you'll be happy you did. Merc - March 11, 2011 (Spangdahlem, AE) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Top notch lid Another great product from Icon. This is one of the lightest, quietest, and least turbulent helmets I've owned in some time. Shell is relatively small, resulting in less "bobble head" than most low priced lids. Coming from an Icon Domain, and various AGV/Nolan/HJC helmets, the Airframe fits much more snug than most. Have worn a medium helmet with all of these brands, Icon included, and had to order a large for this style. Don't hesitate to order any products from Motorcycle Superstore, I use them exclusively, and haven't been disappointed yet. Shipping has always been prompt, even to Alaska, and customer service is always more than willing to help if something doesn't turn out as planned. Enjoy. Jorge - August 06, 2010 (Anchorage, AK) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit ICON HELMET This helmet is a great buy. It was even better then what I was expecting. ANDREW - March 30, 2010 (SPANAWAY, WA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Perfect for the Orange and Black Gixxer's! This helmet matches perfect with my 2009 GSX-R 600. I have the Orange and Black gixxer and the orange is very hard to find gear that matches. When I saw this helmet I knew it was perfect. This thing is built wonderful. You would think you have on a helmet that cost twice as much. Mike P - June 15, 2009 (Elk Grove, CA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Perfect Helmet I was looking for a matching GSXR helmet and I soon as I saw this one I ordered immediately! Only took 3 days to get it, fits perfect and airflow is awesome. Plus all my boys are jealous they aint got a helmet like mine! Tocs - April 03, 2009 (Ofallon, MO) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Airframe Suzuki Helmet Awesome helmet! Looks better in hand then what seen in pictures or on a website. The fit is tight at first if you have a big head like I do but will loosen up after 3 to 5 days of wearing it. If you buy this helmet, make sure to get the Icon GSXR leather jacket to match!!! Demond - August 13, 2008 (salem, OR) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Nice Helmet Really nice helmet, especially if you have a mirror shield to it. The look of the helmet is very nice, I like it because it has that street look more than racy, matches well with the suzuki gsxr's. The helmet feels very comfortable that its like pillows around your head.

Democratic Insiders overwhelmingly chose investment in infrastructure, such as roads, airports, and school construction, as a key job-creation policy their party should endorse. One Democratic Insider said, "Of these proposals, only one creates jobs directly. Investing in infrastructure does that, and it provides long-term benefits to the country." Another added, "Infrastructure, particularly schools, has an immediate and visible impact."
Even while supporting such policies, some Democratic Insiders acknowledged the difficulty of passing additional spending measures in the current political climate. "Infrastructure investment is by far the strongest elixir but the hardest to get through Congress today," said one. A second lamented, "[This is] another reminder that Dems should have done much more real stimulus when we had the chance."
Indeed, infrastructure investment was the least supported choice of Republican Insiders, who strongly preferred a focus on reducing regulation for businesses. "The first trillion in demand-side stimulus didn't work, so forget the fiscal side," said one. "Regulatory reform will work, and we have a great story to tell of an administration run amok." Said another, "At this stage, we should accept that government intervention is not going to work. Thus, getting government out of the way is the best way to encourage job creation."
"Regulation," said a third Republican Insider, "is a hidden tax we can cut without increasing the national debt."
Republicans also heavily favored lowering the top corporate tax rate to 25 percent. "Lowering corporate taxes will do the most to produce jobs at the lowest impact on the deficit," said one.
"Route to job creation: less spending, less regulation, lower tax rates," declared another. "Anything else repeats the expensive spinning of wheels that we have had for the last two and a half years."
Democratic Insiders largely shunned action on regulations or corporate tax rates, instead lining up behind tax credits for firms hiring new workers and extending the payroll-tax holiday. "There is no demand right now," explained one. "Cutting the payroll tax for employers and employees stimulates demand (employees keep more of their money) and lowers the cost of hiring workers (by lowering the tax burden for employing somebody). It's the best tactic on this list."
Reaching agreement on a bipartisan approach to job creation remains a challenging task, and the poll illustrates this reality. The extension of the payroll-tax holiday came closest of any of the proposals to achieving joint agreement. Nonetheless, it still fell shy of majority Republican support.
One Democratic Insider suggested the best answer was really all of the above. "We're into 'throw it all against the wall and see what sticks' time."

International Students
International student applicants must meet all the admission requirements for freshman or transfer students, respectively. All transcripts from high schools and universities outside the United States must be evaluated by a professional credential evaluation service. We accept evaluations from members of NACES (http://www.naces.org/members.htm) and recommend World Education Services, Inc. (WES). Please refer to their website (http://www.wes.org) for an explanation of their services. Freshman applicants must submit an evaluation that includes certification of equivalency to a U.S. high school diploma and a conversion to a U.S. grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale. NDNU grants international conditional admission in some cases. Please contact Admissions for more details. International students whose first language is not English are required to submit proof of English language proficiency. For the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam, the minimum requirement is a score of 500 (paper-based total), 173 (computer-based total), or 61 (Internet-based total). For the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam, the minimum requirement is a score of 5.5 on the Academic test. For the International Test of English Proficiency (iTEP), the minimum requirement is a score of 4.5. For the Pearson Test of English (PTE), the minimum requirement is a score of 45. Students submitting results from the TOEFL or IELTS are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores. If an international applicant's high school course work was taught in English, he/she may submit SAT or ACT scores in lieu of the TOEFL or IELTS.
An international student who attends an NDNU-approved English as a Second Language School is eligible to opt out of the TOEFL requirement if he/she meets the minimum requirement of the TOEFL waiver agreement. Please consult with the Office of Admission for agreements with specific partner language schools. These international students must take NDNU's English as a Second Language (ESL) assessment exam prior to enrolling in classes to determine if NDNU's English for International Students (EIS) course work is appropriate or required.
Admitted students with a TOEFL score below 100 on the Internet-based test or an IELTS score less than 7.5 must also take the English placement examination upon arrival at the University and take an ESL course required by the English department based on the results of this examination. International students with a TOEFL score greater than 100 on the Internet-based test or with an IELTS score above 7.5 are exempt from the ESL test but must take the University's writing test.
International students must also complete the International Student Certification of Finances upon acceptance to the University. This form is available from the Office of Admission, or it can be downloaded as a printable document in PDF format. International students are required to pay tuition and fees in full by the posted due date (or at the time of registration if after the posted due date) and are not eligible for installment payment plans. For international students and applicants, the International Student Advisor in the Office of Enrollment processes immigration and intergovernmental documents related to enrollment at NDNU.
Term of Admission
Admission is offered for a specific year and term. Admitted students are eligible to defer their enrollment by contacting the Office of Admission. Enrollment can be deferred to a term within one year from the year and term of admission. If an applicant is accepted by NDNU but does not register for that year and term or request a deferral, his/her admission may be cancelled. If a student does not enroll and complete courses within that year, we will dispose of his/her admission file.
Nonmatriculated Enrollment
Undergraduate students may enroll in classes at Notre Dame de Namur University in nonmatriculated status. A nonmatriculated student is a part-time student who is not formally admitted to the University but is permitted to enroll in undergraduate classes, up to a maximum of 30 units. After 30 units, a student must meet with an appropriate Department Chair to discuss future academic plans. These units that are earned will not apply to a degree at Notre Dame de Namur University unless and until the student is admitted. Nonmatriculated students are not eligible for financial aid.
An undergraduate student wishing to take classes in nonmatriculated status should submit an Application for Enrollment as a Nonmatriculated Student form with the required application fee to the Registrar's Office. (Students holding baccalaureate degrees are processed through Graduate Admission, regardless of whether they are taking undergraduate or graduate courses.) Permission to enroll requires evidence that any prerequisites for the selected courses have been met. Students on probation or disqualified at another institution are not eligible for nonmatriculated status unless the probation or disqualification occurred at least seven years prior to the intended semester of nonmatriculated enrollment.
Because units earned in nonmatriculated status do not apply to the University residency requirement, students intending to pursue a Notre Dame de Namur University undergraduate degree should, in their own best interest, apply for formal admission as soon as possible.
Applications for nonmatriculated enrollment are available from the Registrar's Office. Students with permission to enroll in nonmatriculated status may register for approved classes during Final Registration at the start of the semester or during the Drop/Add period. Should a class become over-enrolled, priority will be given to matriculated students. Full payment of tuition or suitable arrangements must be made at the time of registration. Tuition is fully refundable if enrollment is denied due to over-enrollment.
Policies for Awarding Transfer Credit
With the exception of remedial and nonacademic vocational courses, NDNU accepts credit for courses completed with grade "C" (2.0) or higher at any degree-granting regionally-accredited two-year
Transfer unit limitations exist in computer applications, physical education, co-op education, ROTC, and English as a Second Language. Maximum allowable transfer unit totals apply as follows:
Computer Applications 8 units
Co-op Education/Career Development 12 units
Physical Education 8 units
ROTC 15 units
ESL 9 units (eligible for use as elective credit only)
A total of 78 lower-division transferable units are applicable to a Notre Dame de Namur University degree. All transfer undergraduates must take 30 units or more at NDNU to earn a degree from the University. Articulation Agreements are available in the transfer centers at many California community colleges as well as on the NDNU website. Courses completed pass/credit may be used in fulfillment of General Education or Major requirements only if the pass/credit is validated as grade "C" (2.0) or higher.
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
Students attending a California community college may complete the requirements in the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). The IGETC is not an admission requirement for Notre Dame de Namur University and does not guarantee admission. The following options apply:
- Students may complete the IGETC requirements for either the CSU or UC system, allowing them to transfer without the need to take additional lower-division, general education courses at Notre Dame de Namur University. All students should review their Final Transfer Evaluation closely and work with their advisor to determine which courses remain to be completed.
- Students may complete a portion of the IGETC requirements and then complete any additional lower-division, general education courses after transferring to Notre Dame de Namur University.
- Students may transfer to Notre Dame de Namur University without following the IGETC or completing their lower-division and general education courses. A course-by-course evaluation will determine the need, if any, for additional lower-division, general education courses.
Note: Students completing IGETC will be required to take additional upper-division courses at NDNU to satisfy General Education Requirements (e.g., Religious Studies, Upper-Division Writing, among others).
Middle College or Running Start Programs
These are programs providing high school students credit for community college courses taken for credit toward high school graduation and credit toward the college degree. Credits for community college courses taken in high school, for which a grade of "C" (2.0) or higher is earned, will be awarded on a course-by-course basis for classes that would normally transfer credit to NDNU.

International Baccalaureate Exam Scores
Scores of 4, 5, 6, or 7 on most higher-level exams and some standard level exams will provide a minimum of 3 units of elective credit in the subject area and will satisfy General Education requirements, as appropriate to the subject area. Advanced placement in major courses will be awarded. A full listing of exams, scores, and corresponding NDNU credit is available on the NDNU website at http://www.ndnu.edu/academics/international-baccalaureate-credits/.
International Baccalaureate Diploma
Completion of the International Baccalaureate Diploma places the student in the sophomore year automatically (30 units awarded), awarding specific course-by-course credit according to the full listing of exams, scores, and corresponding NDNU credit found on the NDNU website at http://www.ndnu.edu/academics/ap_chart.aspx. All units up to the 30 units needed for sophomore status not accounted for with a specific corresponding course will be assigned general elective units.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
NDNU grants CLEP credit only for examinations passed at the 50th percentile or higher. Credit is granted for total scores only; successful subscores within an exam are not granted partial credit. Credit is not granted for scores from foreign language exams taken by native speakers of the language being tested. Credit for CLEP exams may not duplicate credit granted for classes previously or subsequently completed at NDNU or elsewhere. CLEP credit is recorded on the Notre Dame de Namur University transcript as units passed without an evaluative grade. A full listing of exams, scores, and corresponding NDNU credit is available at http://www.ndnu.edu/academics/clep-credits/.
Military Credit
Credit granted for various levels of active service in the United States military is as follows:
- Basic military service of more than one year = maximum of 6 semester units lower-division
- Completion of Officers' Candidate School (one year) = maximum of 9 semester units lower-division plus 6 semester units upper-division
Students in either of the above categories may also be granted credit for courses taken in military schools according to the recommendations for institutions of higher education in the American Council on Education's A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. An original Form DD214 is required for all military credit.
Crosstown Agreement – AFROTC at Cal Berkeley:
Air Force ROTC is offered through the Aerospace Studies department at U.C. Berkeley. Scholarships (including tuition, book allowance and stipend) are available for qualified students.
R. N. Transfer Credit
Notre Dame de Namur University offers registered nurses the opportunity to complete studies leading to a degree other than Bachelor of Science in Nursing. A two-year associate degree registered nurse is granted up to 35 semester units for course work in nursing as well as credit for transferable general education courses taken during the nursing program. A three-year diploma registered nurse is granted up to 60 semester units for the hospital nursing program as well as any transferable units in general education (not part of the nursing core courses) completed at an affiliated college or university.
Transfer Work After Matriculation
After beginning course work at Notre Dame de Namur University, students should receive prior approval from their academic advisor for any course work to be undertaken at other colleges and universities. The same policies governing the transfer of academic credit prior to matriculation (see Policies for Awarding Transfer Credit) apply to the transfer of courses taken after matriculation at Notre Dame de Namur University. Upon completion of non-NDNU course work, students should request that an official transcript be forwarded to the Registrar's Office. The unit value of transferable work, not the grade awarded for that work, will appear on the Notre Dame de Namur University transcript.

Ditto vpawc--- Could not have put it any better myself. We are truely a classact in the sports arenas, the Saints, LSU, the Hornets. I love our teams and our city, and the fact that we can all be together in these precious moments. Hopefully this togetherness can go beyond our football and basketball games and we all learn to get along and respect one another even after. Congratulations! Geaux Saints, Geaux LSU in New Orleans win that bowl game.
Erica Falls is a local artist with a lil jazz, funk, r&b, soul, and raggae she does it all. A must see, beautiful voice and so full of energy, class and style.
Good let them go! Some are part of the problem. Good job Serpas!
What happened to their upbringing, their parents are on food them sitting around and not parenting their children. Yes, the comments are written out more attackful and demeaning when a black person commits a crime. It's always about race to some people.
I said the same thing. Our team played really well considering the team they were playing. Defense was a lil short but they did stop them from running away with the game. We lost by an 8 points spread. The first quarter made you think they were going to run all over our team. We will do fine this year.
I'mJustSayin, I don't know from which rock you crawled from under, but this is a free country. Who in the hell told you that the French Quarter was a lily white area made just for you people. It belongs to whomever wants to visit it. AFRICAN AMERICAN, Italian, French, Spanish, German, Africa, and the likes. Get a life fool.
If this were black boys you would be asking for jail time. Racism is very prominent in New Orleans Metro areas. They would be called the scum of the earth, but not your boys they are the victims. They broke into this man's car. Be realistic. That in itself is a crime.
No one should have to work under these conditions. It's deplorable!
Who Dat Fans have and always will be loyal to our team. Don't hate the players hate the game. We don't walk out on our team at crucial moments. Win or lose we support our team. Now that doesn't mean we are not disappointed with a lost, but we don't walk out the stands (Falcants/Lakers) when they are being beaten and feeling at their worst. It's called being supportive, it makes our team strive even harder the next time to do better.
The murder that Randall committed happened at 5:30am on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, which was last week. This young man could really be totally innocent in giving an old acquaintance a ride. The article was posted last night which means this probably happened yesterday sometime, when he was giving this person a ride.
Well stated tinfoolfatguy!
Good Luck to the Payton family! Thank you Sean for what you have given us thus far and whatever you have for us later. Your family has the right to live where ever they desire. New Orleans Metro, if you want people of prestige to live here, then build a city to make them proud. The school systems here stink. Yes, we have lots of things to be proud of but, we have have many more to be less proud of. Politians take heed and do something to make our city more than just an entertainment center. We need education, jobs, infrastructures and the likes. The point I'm trying to make, we need politians who really care about our city and want to make it a better place for people to want to retire here as they do from up north to retiring in Florida and other places. Get out of those antiquated ways of running this region and do what is right. Then and only then people such as the Payton's can keep their families here.
To the Falcants:
Correction: My BAD, you did not win the Conference Title, that would be out of the Packers and the Bears. And, I meant New Orleans are fill with many qualities you only wish you had such as style, peronality and charm. Oh and let's not forget our culture the best music and dance (jazz and brazz). Oh how can I forget food.
To those Dirty Birds:
You spoke about us loyal Saints FANS being one hit wonders. I love that quote simply because we did hit in 2009, held the best record in the Division, in the Conference, and OMG the Superbowl. In 2010, you held the record of division champs, conference champs, but you could not sustain in the final analysis where it really counts. Please tell what is wrong with this picture. Oh, I know you all studied our plays from last year (we were unbelieveable, we were superstars) but you all still fell short. Keep studying and maybe, just maybe, one day you too can follow in our footsteps andlive up to our standards. But always remember, you will always be a step or two behind us. What ever you accomplish will always put you second to the best. We have class, style and lots of top quality that you only wish you all can have including friendly hospitality to our visitors. In the meanwhile, respect us for what we have accomplished, "We ARE SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS with A Touch of Class. We did the damn thing, face and get over it. By the way, I enjoyed the game with the Packers/Falcants even though I didn't waste time watching it.
There were plenty of messups this year as a team, just like there were plenty of togetherness last year as a team. There were a lot of injuries this season and those things are going to occur in this profession. Our players want to be winners, they proved that to all us Saints fans last year. I said all along why mess with something that isn't broken. Reggie Bush you need to practice your run more, Pierre just needs to heal, I was very impressed with Ivory, Colston you had a lot of drop balls, Shockey you weren't as effective as last season either. Drew you definitely need to work on your throws, I can't imagine you playing next season with all the intercepts as you did this season. Coach Williams I'm glad you've decided to stay with us you have been a tremendous influence on our defense. Porter, Sharper, Vilma, the Evans, Smith, Meacham, and Coach Payton you all keep up the good work and strive for greatness again. I predict you guys to be the team of this era. Gotta Love You Boys.
Shimp, your President Barack Obama and my President and the President of the United States which is North America is doing exactly what you are saying cleaning up the mess the Republicans has gotten up into since a Democratic President William Clinton got us (the American People) out of after who was oh another Bush mess up. You think about, the biggest surplus the United States ever had from a President and the world was doing fine. President Obama is trying to do the same but you haters are so against him not because of what you all think is a lack of knowledge but because he is a black man ruling over you. Face it, get over it, and move on. I didn't like the fact that baby Bush cheated his way into the White House, but he still was my President whether I liked it or not. If you cannot contribute anything good to this country then I suggest you do what is best, leave it alone.
Welcome home Governor Edwards, you have overdone your time.
Welcome home Governor Edwards.
ATL football team and their fans hate us even more and goes back a long way. A group of us (Saints fans) use to go to ATL every Saints game, but about eight years ago maybe nine, ATL realized that we were taking control of their Dome and started changing the price of their ticket sales for the fans of New Orleans. This particular year we decided to watch the game at our hotel instead of paying that kind of money to them for tickets, they... then thought they were playing in the Superbowl (not). I haven't been to a Saints/Atlanta game since. But I have been to Texas, Tennessee, Houston, Tampa where we were welcome as fans for the opposing team. ATL, I watch some of your home games and you all had many bad calls ruled in your favor and to me that is not winning. When you can down right dominate a team fair and square that says alot for me. That is why your home record of loses (2) in particular are to the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS. We down right beat the brakes off your team every time and was well deserving of our championship status. I'm not knocking you all and if you all get a ring, you still have to acknowledge the fact that you followed the footsteps of the New Orleans Saints. Good motivation.
504ever you said a mouth full. Whatever it takes to bring our team back to the Superbowl and make a believer out of all the still non-believers.

The Basketbash event should be a fun, entertaining evening for everybody."

Patterns of Capital Flows to Emerging Markets: A Theoretical Perspective
Patterns of Capital Flows to Emerging Markets:
A Theoretical Perspective
by Zhaohui Chen and Mohsin S. Khan
This paper reviews some of the basic patterns of international capital flows
to emerging markets in recent years, which include the composition of capital
flows, intra regional flow patterns, and the geographical distribution of the
flows. Although there is a large body of literature on capital flows, there is
as yet no widely accepted explanation for why the volume and composition of
capital flows differ among the various emerging market countries.
Many factors can affect the patterns of capital flows. This paper focuses on
the cost of financing aspect and shows how capital flows are affected primarily
by the level of financial market development and the growth potential in
recipient countries. The theoretical model developed in this study offers a
simple unifying framework to explain the various patterns of capital flows.
In the model, the level of financial market development is captured by the
market's ability to alleviate capital market inefficiencies, such as asymmetric
information concerning investments. Growth potential is defined by the
distribution of investment opportunities in the recipient country. Foreign
residents' incentive to invest in emerging markets is related to the
expected excess return foreign investment, which depends on the recipient
country's level of financial market development and growth potential. The model
predicts positive expected excess returns to foreign portfolio equity
investment in countries exhibiting a suitable combination of financial market
development and growth potential, whereas for other countries such excess
returns are negative. In some countries, under slight changes in perceived
growth potential or financial market integrity, the expected excess returns can
turn from positive to negative, or vice versa, leading to large-scale capital
flow reversals, as have been witnessed recently in international capital
markets. In countries where growth potential is high but the financial market
is underdeveloped, foreign direct investments could be preferred to portfolio
inflows as a form of financing.

OSU Players Console Grieving Anchor
September 30th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
The early leader for "Most Heartwarming Gesture of the 2013 College Football Season" is Ohio State for the manner in which they welcomed Dom Tiberi – the sports director of the CBS affiliate in Columbus – back to work.
Tiberi had been on leave from work since the September 17th death of his 21-year-old daughter in a car accident. (He returned to the anchor desk last Thursday.) After the Buckeyes' 31-24 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday, dozens of OSU players gave Tiberi a "welcome back" hug as they exited the field at Ohio Stadium. The Buckeyes also wore "MT" helmet decals during the game to honor Maria Tiberi.
Even Ohio State haters would be hard-pressed not to get goosebumps watching this.

Badd Boyz and Lady Badd Boyz Social Club: Henderson, Parham crowned Mr. Valentine, Ms. Sweetheart
The annual Celebrity of the Year Scholarship Fundraiser Dance was conducted by the Badd Boyz and Lady Badd Boyz Social Club on Feb. 23 at the Pride of Vance Elks Lodge. The crowning of the Mr. Valentine and Ms. Sweetheart 2013-14 was the highlight of the evening.
Michael T. Henderson was named Mr. Valentine, a resident of Oxford. As a new member, this was the first male title he has achieved. In addition to the club, he is a member of the Pride of Vance Elks Lodge No. 1263 and New Light Baptist Church of Oxford. He works at Polk Correctional Center in Butner as programs supervisor.
Catherine Parham continued her reign as Ms. Sweetheart, having also been selected last year. The special assistant to the first vice-president of the club, Parham is also stocks the food pantry and sings in the choir at Young's Memorial United Holy Church.
The runners-up for each title were Johnny L. Bullock and Eric W. Seward (Mr. Valentine); and Barbara Davis and Frances Chavis (Ms. Sweetheart). Henderson and Parham will represent the club at various functions throughout the surrounding area.
Money raised from this event funds scholarships every year for local high school seniors who choose to continue their education. Jameel Williams, club president, acknowledged the social clubs and motorcycle clubs attending for their contributions.

I just need to get something off my mind first...ACEVES IS GONE!!! but now our AAA team will suck. Okay now back to real baseball.
Houston Astros at Boston Red Sox (4 games)
As we close off the month of April and a long time at home for the Sox the Houston Astros will be returning to Fenway for the first time since 2003 which is also their only time in Boston as well. Now that the Astros have joined the American League we will most likely see more matchups between these clubs. Thursday night's game 1 will see Red Sox top pitcher so far, Clay Buchholz who is 4-0 take on Phillip Humber who holds the opposite record of 0-4. Coming from the White Sox last year Humber has seen the Sox a few times and is 2-2 with a 7.33 earned run average. In his last game Humber retired just 1 batter versus the Indians before being pulled and is probably off to the worst start of any pitcher in the majors right now. At 4-0 with a 0.90 earned run average, Clay Buchholz may be off to the best start of any major league pitcher. Currently the Red Sox starters lead the league in strikeouts and Buchholz is a big reason for that with his 29. Buchholz is struggling with allowing walks this season so far but Astros' batters like to swing a lot which will help him get more strikes he needs. For game 2 the Sox will send Ryan Dempster to the mound who is still looking for his first win in Boston as he enters 0-2 but do not let that fool you. He has looked quite solid in his no decision games and should look good versus the Astros batters. To face him will be Erik Bedard who is 0-1 on the season but does have a high era over 6. In his 4 games (3 starts) Bedard has only pitched 11 plus innings which has caused a lot of strain on the bullpen. The majority of Sox hitters have seen and hit Bedard before so hopefully experience comes in handy here. Saturday night youngster Felix Doubront will take the mound as he has pitched wonderful this year off to a 2-0 start! In his 16 plus innings Doubront has 21 strikeouts and just nine walks. He has struggled going deep in games but this week against the A's he went 6 2/3 strong innings. To face him will be Brad Peacock who has started with a high era over 7 and has a record of 1-2. Peacock's biggest struggle to start the season is allowing six home runs over his 18 innings pitched and with some of the Boston batters power they will hopefully take strong advantage of him Saturday night. Both line ups are VERY new to opposing pitchers in this game so scouting reports will be the story line for this game.
Game 4 Preview:
3 games down and 1 to go as the Sox near the sweep! John Lackey will return to the lineup for his second start of the year. After sitting out last season due to injury Lackey is hoping to bounce back as the other Sox starters have. In Lackey's 4 1/3 innings pitched in his first start he set eight down on strikes with his mid 90s fastball that we will see Sunday for sure! Victorino was questionable for Sunday's game but according to Red Sox twitter he will not be in the starting lineup as Carp will start again. To face Lackey in this game will be Bud Norris of the Astros who has start 3-2. So far Norris looks to be one of the Astros better pitchers but still is no friend to the strikeout. In his 5 games he has 14 runs allowed and 11 of those being earned. Finding his strikeout pitch will be key if he wants to keep the Sox runs low unlike they have been all series. FIRST PITCH 1:07! Come watch the Sox bring out the brooms for the SWEEEEEEP.
As said in the game 3 pitching matchup preview Brad Peacock has struggled with allowing home runs as many of the other Astro pitchers have as well. This is great news for Sox fans as Napoli has been hot with the long ball and I am sure will continue to hit it throughout this series. (I called it last series that he would hit a home run in game 1 and he hit a big grand slam!) Since returning from his injury Ortiz has been off to a great start going 8 for 16. The Sox also recalled reliever Daniel Bard from AA to give MLB another try for a while and John Farrell has this to say about Bard's return, "Right now, I think it's a matter of him getting back, acclimated to this level and building some confidence along the way,his fastball is not back to the upper 90s. That doesn't mean he has to get back to that level to be successful. It's been 93-96 range. I think a lot of guys would sign up to be able to throw that hard." Hopefully Bard redeems himself and is back 100%. As long as he throws it in the strike zone and runs to first base when needed he will be better than Aceves. Well the Sox look to have the upper hand for this series and I sure hope these pitching matchups turn out to be good for the Sox as they look. Go SOX Go!
#RedSox begin a 4 game series versus the #astros tonight! Expect some power offence for the #sox throughout the series! #mlb— Matter of Sox (@MatterofRedSox) April 25, 2013
Game 1: Red Sox win 5-0
Game 2: Red Sox win 4-2
Game 3: Red Sox win 7-2
Game 4: Red Sox win 7-3

The Bachelor
Courtney Robertson's Bachelor BFF Reveals Why She Was "Instantly Attracted" to Her
Casey Shteamer's Bachelor legacy looked like it would fall among the many other contestants who left the show because they (may or may not have) had a significant other back home. But when Season 16 turned into The Courtney Robertson Show, Casey's ugly (cry) departure was but a minor blip.
Instead, she would forever be known as the only friend of season "villain" Courtney. Casey spoke to Emme magazine and dished about her dramatic exit and on what she saw in Ben Flajnik's controversial winner that no one else in the house seemed to.
My best guess [that led Michael to talk to producers] is that he had always thought he had my emotions even after we broke up. And for me to so outwardly take the steps to move on from that relationship, I think freaked him out more than he realized it would.
Courtney and I first became friends on the first night. I can't do my hair to save my life, and I actually just let it air-dry for the first night. I thought it looked terrible, and she sat in the bathroom with me during that night using some curling iron another girl had snuck in, fixing my hair. She didn't even know me, but she was so sweet right off the bat.
I was instantly attracted to Courtney's energy because she didn't seem to have the need to be the center of attention the other girls had at times, especially that first week. The first week of the show was hard because I think most of the girls had a hard time being themselves in the beginning, and it seemed like everyone was competing to be the center of attention. I never got that vibe from Courtney, and I appreciated that.
I keep in touch with Courtney and most of the girls; about 10 of us are very close. We talk daily, whether it be via text, phone, Facebook, or Twitter. I am so happy with the people I have been able to connect with because of this show. That has been by far what I am most happy about and the best part of the experience for me. There are some people I met from this show who have proven to be hugely influential in my life.
For more from Casey, check out the full interview here.

Our International Strategy
In this era of increasing globalisation, all City law firms are international. What distinguishes them is the way that they handle their international work.
We strongly believe that that best way of replicating the breadth and depth of our expertise in London is by hand picking, and working with, the best independent law firms in each overseas jurisdiction as opposed to opening a multitude of overseas offices around the globe (although we do have a representative office in Paris).
These independent firms have a greater depth, breadth and critical mass than the overseas outposts of many of our London competitors and our approach allows us to select the best lawyers in each location for each job. This provides a clear benefit to our clients and ensures that we provide a consistently first class service on any matter.
In addition, our reputation and approach has made us the London law firm of choice for many foreign firms looking to instruct English counsel on behalf of their clients or to work with them on cross-border transactions.
Our international strategy has resulted in over 50% of our work now having a multi-jurisdictional aspect and in any year we will typically work with over 100 foreign law firms from around the world. So as a trainee here you will certainly have an opportunity to get involved in international matters and to get to know contacts at clients and other law firms around the world.
We also send trainees to work in our Paris office and our international secondment programme has seen our qualified lawyers working all over the world, including in the U.S., Japan and India. Each year we host an International Week where our senior associates share information and views on best practice with senior associates from firms in the major European jurisdictions.

Report Slams Counterterrorism 'Fusion Centers'
By editor
Originally published on Wed October 3, 2012 6:40 pm
After a two-year investigation, a Senate report released Wednesday criticizes the Department of Homeland Security's "fusion centers" as ineffective, expensive, and encroaching on civil liberties. The centers were created after Sept. 11 to improve communication between federal counter-terrorism agents and state and local law enforcement. A department spokesman called the report flawed.

5. Recent HRIBF Research - Measurement of Levels in the Halo Nucleus 11Be via 10Be(d,p) in Inverse Kinematics
[K. Schmitt & K.L. Jones (Univ. of Tennessee), spokespersons]
Phenomena such as neutron halos and level inversion make the light neutron-rich nuclei fascinating test cases to study the evolution of nuclear structure away from stability. 11Be is an archetypal example of both of these effects, and is one of the heaviest nuclei for which ab-initio theory is presently practical. Although 11Be has been studied thoroughly via (d,p) in normal kinematics [1], β-decay[2], breakup[3,4], and (p,d)[5] experiments, there still remains a paucity of knowledge about the bound first-excited state, for which spectroscopic factors are disputed, and the resonances.
We have performed a 10Be(d,p)11Be experiment in inverse kinematics using a new batch-mode 10Be beam at the energies of 60 and 107 MeV and deuterated polyethylene targets. The angular distribution of protons ejected in the population of bound states and low-lying resonances in 11Be will be used to extract spectroscopic factors for those states. The Oak Ridge Rutgers University Barrel Array (ORRUBA) was used in conjunction with the Silicon Detector Array (SIDAR) for a large solid angle coverage and nearly continuous coverage in polar angle from 45° to 165° in the laboratory reference frame. The new QQQ array and Dual MCP detectors were placed at forward angles to detect recoils and to help discriminate between (d,p) and fusion-evaporation events. A schematic view of the silicon detector setup is shown in Fig. 5-1. The angular coverage is shown with expected angular distributions in Fig. 5-2.
Figure 5-1: Silicon detector setup. The ORRUBA and SIDAR arrays were used for detection of protons from (d,p) and elastically scattered deuterons.
Figure 5-2: Angular coverage with expected angular distribution. Coverage in polar angle was nearly continuous from 45 to 165 degrees in the lab frame, with only a small gap due to target frame shadowing.
Preliminary analysis of the proton data in SIDAR yields excellent statistics for the bound states and first resonance, as shown in an ungated spectrum in Fig.5-3. The first excited state at 320 keV is clearly separated from the ground state (two groups to the right of the figure). Other low-lying resonances have been observed in our preliminary analysis of the proton energy spectra from SIDAR.
On completion of calibrations both for SIDAR and ORRUBA, the full data analysis is expected to yield angular distributions with very low statistical uncertainties.
Figure 5-3: Energy distribution of protons at back angles. Protons from the population of the ground state and 0.320 MeV first-excited state are well resolved, and tremendous statistics were recorded for the wider first resonance.
Special thanks are due to the staff at HRIBF for a very successful run, especially Dan Stracener.

The Bees crashed 2-0 to Chesterfield on Saturday and are now just two points above the relegation zone with three matches to play.
The first of Barnet's big tests comes on Saturday against fellow strugglers Torquay, who are out of the bottom three on goal difference alone.
And player boss Davids has left his side in no doubt about the importance of the trip to Plainmoor.
He said: "We have to start again to prepare ourselves for Saturday's game against Torquay United.
"We always go for the win. How we win is not important as long as we get it.
"Torquay, like us, need to win so it is going to be a massive game for both teams.
"I would like it to be the crucial game in our survival campaign but we still have another two matches after that."
