SuperEnalotto has been active in Italy since it was launched by a private company (Sisal SpA) in December 1997. The SuperEnalotto replaced the Enalotto which had been played in Italy since the 1950's. SuperEnalotto draws take place at 8pm every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and consistently produce some of the biggest lottery jackpots in the world.
Here we present the latest SuperEnalotto lottery results.
The winning numbers of the SuperEnalotto, in ascending order, were:
SuperEnalotto Results: 14, 47, 48, 58, 60, 69, 26* (Jolly), 41* (Superstar)
Next Draw Date: Thursday, 09 January 2014
Next Estimated Jackpot: € 23.600.000

Play SuperEnalotto is easy! Simply select six main numbers from a guess range of 1 to 90. There are five prize categories, and in order to win the jackpot, all six numbers of the regular guess set must match the winning number selection. The bonus number (Jolly Ball) is drawn from the same drum as the regular set and is counted towards the second prize of 5 + 1 only.
There are generally two different methods by which global players participate in the SuperEnalotto lottery. SuperEnalotto players can either buy SuperEnalotto tickets online and play alone, or they can choose to join a SuperEnalotto lottery syndicate and have everything from the ticket purchase through to the division of the winnings handled for them.

In this course, author Bobby Owsinski reveals industry tips, tricks, and techniques for producing professionally mixed audio on any digital audio workstation. He offers recommendations for setting up an optimal listening environment, highlights the most efficient ways to set up and balance a mix, and shows how to build a powerful sound with compression. The course also explains how to master the intricacies of EQ; incorporate reverb, delay, and modulation effects; and generate the final mix.
Before we can talk about how to make a great mix, it's good to be aware of signs of one that isn't that great. In this video I'm going to show you some mixing characteristics to avoid to keep your mix from becoming amateur-sounding. First of all, avoid a mix that has no contrast. That means the same ambient texture-- as in the same reverb--is used on every instrument at the same level throughout the entire song. Avoid a mix that has no focal point. That's a mix where there are holes where nothing is brought forward to hold the listener's attention. Avoid a mix that's noisy. Clicks, hums, extraneous noises, count-offs, and sometimes lip-smacks and breaths are all signs of an amateur mix.
Avoid a mix that lacks clarity and punch. That's a mix where the instruments aren't distinct and the low end is either too weak or too big. Avoid a mix that sounds distant. The mix sounds distant because too much reverb or other effects have been used. Avoid a mix where the element levels are inconsistent. That's a mix where the instrument levels vary from balanced, to soft, to loud, and certain lyrics can't be distinguished. Avoid a mix where the sounds are dull and uninteresting; that means generic, dated, or often-heard sounds are used. There is a difference between using something because it's hip and new and using it because everyone else is using it.
So those are some of the things that make an amateur-sounding mix.

United Bankshares CEO heads W.Va. Chamber
CHARLESTON -- Richard M. Adams, chairman and CEO of United Bankshares, is the new chairman of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
The state's largest business advocacy organization said Monday that Adams was elected at its recent annual meeting.
United Bankshares has 114 full service offices in West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., with assets of $8.5 billion
Andrew Jordon of Pritchard Mining Company was elected vice chairman. John Canfield of State Farm Insurance is secretary and J. Randolph Cheetham of CSX Transportation is treasurer.
Forum focuses on future of W. Virginia economy
CHARLESTON -- Politicians, policymakers and others will share their visions for West Virginia 30 years from now and discuss the need for economic diversification at a Wednesday forum in Charleston.
The Union of Concerned Scientists is teaming up with the West Virginia Center on Budget & Policy and others to present panels on several topics.
Ted Boettner of the policy center will discuss the proposed West Virginia Future Fund, legislation that would change how the state handles oil and gas severance-tax revenue.
Other subjects include workforce training and a roadmap for sustainable economic development.
The forum is all day Wednesday at the Clay Center. Speakers include U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Kent Spellman of the Community Development Hub.
Panelists include state officials, researchers, high-tech groups, and labor and religious leaders.
Report: UAW, VW talk about Tennessee plant
DETROIT -- A German newspaper says United Auto Workers union officials met last week with Volkswagen to discuss representing workers at VW's Chattanooga, Tenn., plant.
The Handelsblatt business daily says UAW President Bob King and five other officials were at VW's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, to meet with the employee relations chief.
The newspaper cites "trustworthy circles" in saying that they discussed a German-style works council.
The UAW has been trying to organize the factory's roughly 3,000 workers. King has said organizing plants of foreign-based automakers is crucial to the union's survival.
VW spokesman Tony Cervone says VW is looking at ways to give workers a voice in plant operations. He says a decision on union representation would be up to the workers.
Messages were left Tuesday for a UAW spokeswoman.
American construction spending up 0.6 percent
WASHINGTON -- Spending on U.S. construction projects rose in July, led by strong gains in housing and nonresidential projects.
Construction spending increased 0.6 percent in July compared with June when activity was unchanged, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. The June performance represented an upward revision from an initial estimate that spending had fallen 0.6 percent.
Total construction activity rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $900.8 billion in July, the strongest performance since June 2009.
The July gain reflected a 0.6 percent rise in housing construction with both single-family and apartment construction posting gains. In June, housing had fallen 0.9 percent.

How is blood cancer treated?
Goal of cancer treatment
The goal of blood cancer treatment is to permanently cure the cancer or to bring about a complete remission of the disease. Remission means that there is no longer any sign of the disease in the body, although it may recur or relapse later.
Some blood cancers grow slowly enough that delaying treatment may be an option. If the decision to delay treatment is made, close follow-up, called watchful waiting, is needed so that significant progression can be identified and treatments can be started when needed.
Common treatments for blood cancer
Several therapies are available to treat blood cancers including:
- Biological therapy to attack cancer cells
- Chemotherapy to attack cancer cells
- Participation in a clinical trial testing promising new treatments for blood cancers
- Radiation therapy to attack cancer cells
- Stem cell transplant to provide healthy stem cells that can make healthy blood cells
- Targeted therapy to attack specific cancer cells or signaling proteins
- Watchful waiting to identify when to start treatment
Other treatments for blood cancer
Other therapies may be added to help with your general state of health and any complications of the cancer or its treatment including:
- Anti-nausea medications if needed
- Antibiotics and other medications to reduce the likelihood of getting infections
- Blood transfusions to temporarily replace blood components (such as red blood cells or platelets)
- Dental care to manage oral symptoms of leukemia or chemotherapy
- Dietary counseling to help people with cancer maintain their strength and nutritional status
- Pain medications if needed to increase comfort
- Surgery to remove an enlarged spleen or to treat bone fractures
- Vaccinations to prevent diseases like the flu and pneumonia
Complementary treatments
Some complementary treatments may help some people to better deal with blood cancer and its treatments. These treatments, sometimes referred to as alternative therapies, are used in conjunction with traditional medical treatments. Complementary treatments are not meant to substitute for traditional medical care. Be sure to notify your doctor if you are consuming nutritional supplements or homeopathic (nonprescription) remedies as they may interact with the prescribed medical therapy.
Complementary treatments may include:
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Nutritional dietary supplements, herbal remedies, tea beverages, and similar products
- Yoga
Hospice care
In cases in which blood cancer has progressed to an advanced stage and has become unresponsive to treatment, the goal of treatment may shift away from curing the disease and focus on measures to keep a person comfortable and maximize the quality of life. Hospice care involves medically controlling pain and other symptoms while providing psychological and spiritual support as well as services to support the patient's family.
What are the potential complications of blood cancer?
Complications of untreated or poorly controlled blood cancer can be serious, even life threatening in some cases. You can help minimize your risk of serious complications by following the treatment plan you and your health care professional design specifically for you. Complications of blood cancer include:
- Amyloidosis (rare immune-related disorder characterized by protein buildup in organs and tissues that can cause serious complications)
- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
- Broken bones
- Hypercalcemia (increased calcium in the blood)
- Hyperviscosity syndrome (thickened blood that is difficult for the heart to pump)
- Immune deficiency and frequent Infections
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)
- Kidney failure
- Peripheral neuropathy (disorder that causes dysfunction of nerves that lie outside your brain and spinal cord)
- Recurrence of cancer after remission

This group includes cancers of the bone marrow, blood, and lymphatic system, which includes lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, tonsils, thymus, spleen, and digestive tract lymphoid tissue. Leukemia and myeloma, which start in the bone marrow, and lymphoma, which starts in the lymphatic system, are the most common types of blood cance... Read more about blood cancerintroduction
What are the symptoms of blood cancer?
Blood cancer can produce a variety of symptoms, or none at all.
Common symptoms of blood cancerSymptoms of blood cancer can include:
- Abdominal pain, especially in the upper abdomen
- Bone fractures (spontaneous or resulting from minimal trauma)
- Bone or Read more about blood cancersymptoms
What causes blood cancer?
Although the specific cause of blood cancer is not known, a number of factors are associated with its development. Many blood cancers are more common among older adults. Some tend to run in families. Certain infections also appear to increase the risk of some blood cancers, as does a weakened immune system.

Author information
Stephen Mitchell is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Exeter. He is the author of Anatolia (1993), Cremna in Pisidia (1996), Pisidian Antioch (1998) and the co-editor of Ethnicity and Culture in Late Antiquity (2000).
Review quote
"The great strength of Mitchell's book is its firm grasp on the latest scholarship, including much that is not in English nor necessarily familiar. I found myself following a number of trails into his footnotes, which were both unknown to me and rewarding, and I will also have no hesitation in setting several of its chapters as a reliable introduction for students new to the subject." (English Historical Review, February 2009) "Mitchell has produced an extremely useful book... [He] strikes the right balance between narrative and analysis, generality and detail... The book is a page-turner, as well as a resource for students of all ages." (Greece & Rome, 2008) "Mitchell offers students the opportunity to gain a broader vision of the late antique world, where the hard-headed activities of emperors, bureaucrats and generals count for as much as the colourful transformations of religion and culture." (The Classical Review, 2008) "Mitchell's strong parts are the thought that he has given to the needs of the beginner, and his provision of the widest chronological overview in a single volume ... .He has an easy style, refers frequently and appositely to modern parallels, and picks up modern interests and concerns such as the power of 'spin' and 'image' and the importance of environmental factors." (Latomus Revue, September 2008) "The book is certainly worth including in any university or high school library and any student of late antiquity would benefit from reading it." (Classical Review, 2007) "Seldom can one give unreserved praise of a textbook, but Mitchell's book on the later Roman Empire deserves it ... Highly recommended." (Choice) "The volume of the on-going Blackwell History of the Ancient World is a very welcome addition to the growing collection of modern overviews of the Later Roman Empire ... It is consciously modernising in the best possible sense, drawing lessons for the interpretation of the Later Roman Empire from the rapid collapse of political structures that had seemed destined for eternity until they were suddenly gone, which we have experienced in the modern world over the last twenty years. The book can for this reason alone be thoroughly recommended." (Scholia Reviews)
Back cover copy
Beginning with the accession of the emperor Diocletian, this book presents a historical survey of the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity, from AD 284 to 641. The historical origins of medieval and modern Europe and of the Islamic world can be traced back to this period, during which the Roman Empire underwent huge political and religious transformations.This volume contains a substantial narrative of political and military events, highlighting major episodes such as the conversion of Constantine, the creation in the East of the pious Christian state, and the resurgence of Roman ambition under the emperor Justinian. In a group of thematic chapters, the book considers the nature of the late Roman state, the emergence and character of the western barbarian kingdoms, the epochal religious changes of late antiquity, and major aspects of economy and society. The final chapters address the decline of the empire by examining the period between the outbreak of the Great Plague of 542 and the eclipse of Roman power in the Near East in the seventh century, resulting from a final great war with the Persian Empire and the emerging power of Islam among the Arabs.Chronological tables, maps, and charts of important information are included to help orient the reader, and a bibliographical survey supports further study and research.

Many young people may think history is a ho-hum subject they must complete to graduate school, but one area organization is seeking to show them the subject can be both fun and exciting.
The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History is on the eve of the launch of the 2013-2014 Tarheel Junior Historians season, said Matt Edwards, museum director, and they want to get the word out that new members are welcome.
"Our club is known as the Jesse Franklin Pioneers, and has been in place for more than a decade, and we're hoping for another successful year this year," he said Thursday afternoon. "We're continually an award-winning club and have twice been the North Carolina chapter of the year. We regularly have students who win either individual or group awards at the spring state conference."
This year, the club is open to any county student in grades fourth through eighth, Edwards said.
"It's free to participate, and we will meet weekly starting on Sept. 12," he said. The club will meet from September through the state conference in April.
It's goal? To show students that history can come alive.
"It's a club designed to encourage and promote the study of North Carolina history among young people," Edwards said.
And organizers want to make it fun.
"This year, we're going to have a number of field trips planned as part of the curriculum, and the students also will be learning how to conduct historical research and turn that research into a tangible project," Edwards said. "This year we will plenty of exciting opportunities for the kids, and the regular field trips will be something new. We will also be doing some hands-on activities that I think the kids will be excited about."
And then there are the projects, for which the local club is know statewide.
Last year's winning county projects are still on display at the North Carolina Museum of History. They will remain on display through the April conference.
Edwards said the club is seeking new members this year, and encourages anyone who may be interested to give it a shot.
"It's open to everyone in grades four through eight," he said. "And for the past several years, we've even picked up several home-schooled children, and they've been a great addition to the club.
"Our overarching purpose is to get kids excited about history and let them know that it's not just something you read about in a book, but something that's both fun and exciting," Edwards added.
Anyone interested in participating should show up for the Sept. 12 meeting with their parents. The meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m., in the third-floor classroom at the museum.
"Just check in at the front desk and we'll let them know where to go," Edwards said.

What Are You Looking At?!?
Sometimes that question can be an innocuous inquiry and other times it is a veiled challenged. That phrase was often issued as a threat on the mean parochial school playgrounds of my youth in the fine city of Oakland, CA. Now I am asking it of technicians and strategists, anyone I can find, to help me navigate these increasingly difficult waters.
For those that are looking at the stream of information from Leading Economic Indicators the news continues to be strong. Investor sentiment has risen to multi-year highs. Data from the housing sector has continued to be strong. ISM new order data, unemployment claims data and the economic surprise index data have all recently improved. But, as these numbers have improved we are in the middle of a 6% correction in the market. What gives?
There is a divergence in the longer term trend in economic data and the near term moves in the market. That divergence has, in my opinion, been caused by a surging fear over what the fiscal cliff holds for us. Near term concerns can definitely drive the market as those concerns impact people's perception of future growth prospects. The current fiscal cliff concerns are very similar to the concerns that roiled the market several times over the past few years regarding trouble in the Eurozone. When those fears rose to a fevered pitch the markets sold off sharply only to spike aggressively higher when good news came.
When politicians get involved people become nervous and sell first and ask questions later. History with other issues politicians have had to deal with tells us they cobble together a plan or kick the can down the road a few weeks prior to the stated deadline. So, we could be in for a rocky path here for the next several weeks.
So, if your focus is in the LEI's you are looking at an attractive buying opportunity here. If you are a pure market technician what are you looking at?
The best technicians I know are split on the current situation. They feel the move to the 200-day moving average on the indexes is a buying opportunity that should be used to buy attractive names on a pullback. They feel that the move is healthy and the short term angst over the fiscal cliff has not done enough damage to the bull market to say we are now in a bear market. Some technicians are just going by the numbers and do not consider the why that has moved the market lower. They are just concerned with the level of the market. As long as the averages are below their 200 day moving averages rallies should be sold and the market should not be given the benefit of the doubt. If you follow their way of thinking you are selling now and asking questions later. If you are going to follow that strategy you better be ready to buy when the 200 day moving averages are surpassed. Most of us are somewhere in between and we sell some of our holdings as they weaken and hold the names that continue to perform.
The market attempted to rally and closed on Election Day just below the resistance levels I gave you on the major averages of 1436/13,300/3035/834. Then the world changed the day after the election and the support levels I gave you of 1402/13,035/2959/804 all gave way over the next couple of days and all the major averages now trade below their Maginot Lines, their respective 200-day moving averages. Thus, the long term trend of the market is now negative. If the S&P 500/Dow/NASDAQ/Russell 2000 close above the following levels, 1403/13,000/2951/808, then expect a rally from oversold conditions. If selling persists and the following levels give way, 1372/12,740/2858/755, oversold or not, the markets will continue to weaken.

Georgia Reed Realizes a Lifelong Dream
I first interviewed Georgia Reed eighteen months ago. My novel You, Fascinating You had just debuted, and Georgia was among the first wave of dancers to endorse it. Like the protagonist of that novel, she possesses an iron will and the inspired tenacity to surmount any obstacle. As in the lives of many ballerinas, injury has come between her and her dream. Yet the dream endures.
Here is the tale in Georgia's own words…
In 1999, after years of dedication and training, I was chosen to perform
the lead role in one of ballet's most famous stories, Giselle. It was for the 50th Anniversary of my hometown ballet company, Alexandra Ballet. I had just been hired with the Cincinnati Ballet in my first professional position, and I was overjoyed to be able to give back to my community in St. Louis for this special occasion.
Preparing for the role of Giselle, I kept a diary of her thoughts, feelings, and dreams. I came up with specific choices for each dance step, thinking about what motivated Giselle to move in every dance. It was this kind of extra preparation that eventually inspired me to pursue acting, and was the catalyst for who I am today as an actress living and working in Los Angeles in film and television.
However, a few months before the premiere of Giselle in St. Louis, I suffered a terrible injury, and on the night of the performance, I was forced to sit in the audience along with friends, family, and fans – all shocked to see me on the wrong side of the curtain – as I watched another beautiful dancer take my place on the stage.
I never forgave myself for this. And I never gave up on my dream that one day, I might get another chance to perform this beautiful role.
Since then I have been given more opportunities to dance on camera and on stage. My strength and confidence have returned. It's now or never: I have the chance to perform Giselle in 2015 with, once again, my hometown ballet company Alexandra Ballet for their 65th Anniversary. This dream came back to life at the perfect time – I am in the process of creating a documentary about my dance mentor, Alexandra Zaharias – yes, the same Alexandra of my hometown ballet company. She is one of the oldest living American ballet instructors still teaching today.
The beauty of classical ballet is not dead. Miss A's demand for technique and style created quality dancers and performances that stand the test of time. This is, for me, a chance to give back to my community and to dance, my first great love. The passion I feel for this goes beyond anything I have ever desired to achieve, and I need your help.
Here's how YOU can get involved:

I consider myself to be one of the pickiest chicken eaters - I am critical of pretty much everywhere. However, Pizza and Pita grills their chicken to perfection! I never taste any fat, veins or oddly chewy pieces. Just clean, fresh, delicious chicken. I am a healthy eater and LOVE their grilled chicken over Greek or tossed salad. They give more chicken than most places and for under $10, it's a steal! I happened to get taste one of their buffalo chicken rolls right out of the oven - AMAZING. The other posts nailed it with their chix rolls- best in Manhattan. Enjoy this gem in Murray Hill - you can't go wrong.
Posted by Carine on 05/15/2009
I lived across Pizza and Pita for 3 years and loved their chicken rolls. Then I moved and thought I would not miss them... WRONG, they do have the best chicken rolls in the city.
Posted by Kotter on 01/20/2008
A true staple of the Murray Hill area. Pizza and Pita has been serving the 34th Street area for what seems to be an eternity. They have consistently out performed the competition by supplying us with consistently good food. As stated in other posts their chicken rolls and gyros' are delicious. If you are looking for something a little more healthy try the hummus and falafel sandwich, it's great too!
Posted by Anonymous on 03/07/2007
The food is not bad, i had the chicken pizza, other co-workers had the chicken roll and jalepeno poppers but I called at 11:30 AM and the food did not get here til 1:20!! Our office is just 8 blocks away. So the food is good, the price is not bad at all but the service is slow.
Posted by Enstranged on 02/27/2007
The chicken roll at this place is bar none the best in the city. Their pizza is a little lifeless but allways fresh, and with the aid of little garlic powder and pepper flakes is ok. The majority of their greek items are very good, the salads are huge. The second biggest find at this place behind the rolls is the pizza and pita combo, grilled chicken, gyro meat, and chicken cutlet with salad and fries. A huge meal I can easily split into lunch and dinner, and they happily make switches like no fries and extra salad.
Posted by foodfan on 01/30/2007
I've ordered from these guys quite a few times. The chicken rolls are good - not a ton of flavor beyond a basic chicken cutlet, crust, mozzarella and side of sauce, but better than average and good balance of ingredients. The regular pizza is very...regular. Definitely stay away from the falafel. It comes dark brown as if it were deep fried in motor oil. Terrible, oily, bad flavor. The Greek salad is has good, fresh ingredients, but use your own dressing for flavor. The rest of the menu is a bit confused. Many items are good values, but there are far too many. Some items are surprisingly pricey. Overall, a decent choice for quick, cheap filler food.
Posted by marco on 01/09/2007
Yo their pizzas are the best, and i like their chicken wing too, the best thing they have are the chicken rolls, falafel,and their Gyro's. this is the best resturant i ever ate in

Gramercy Capital Sells Cupetino Square For $60M
October 19, 2009
The Business Journal is reporting that Gramercy Capital, who took control of Cupertino Square (formerly known as Vallco Mall) in Cupertino through foreclosure, last month sold the mall to a Vietnamese buyer for $60M.
The buyer was Vallco Shopping Mall LLC, who is driven by Tram Be, a businessman out of Vietnam. We'll see what happens to the mall, but their first step is pretty good, and that is keeping the Vallco name.

Put Your Money Where the Change Is: Updating the Nation's Wetlands Maps Without Exceeding the Budget
Track: Remote Imagery
Author: Jeana M. Bissonnette
The federal government currently needs information on the country's wetlands, but the process of remapping all National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps is costly and time-consuming. This paper presents a nontraditional solution by integrating GIS/remote sensing tools to prioritize NWI map updates. Single date satellite imagery and digital vector data are statistically combined to locate and map areas highly likely to have changed. This approach ensures that mapping resources are used in an optimal way where they are most needed.

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
ATLANTA, July 8, 2005 The U.S. Virgin Islands don't have any active duty military installations, but Army and Air National Guardsmen and their families can boast of living in America's Caribbean paradise with breathtaking beaches, secluded coves, pristine coral reefs and untouched rainforests.
This U.S. territory also can boast of having caring and compassionate support for citizen-soldiers and airmen fighting the global war on terrorism and the loved ones they leave behind.
"The services we render are to children and family members of the Virgin Islands National Guard, particularly those who are deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan," said Evelyn Glasby, the U.S. Virgin Islands territorial youth coordinator.
Glasby attended the Military Child Education Coalition's 7th annual conference here that ended July 1.
With her was Tracey Thompson-Johnson, the lead youth group coordinator on the island of St. Thomas, and Arlene Schjang, the lead youth group coordinator on the island of St. Croix.
The Virgin Islands Army National Guard maintains two armories, one on St. Croix and the other on St. Thomas, separated by 40 miles of water. Soldiers live on four islands: St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John and Water Island. The distance from St. Thomas to St. John is three miles. The Air Guard has its facility on St. Croix.
Virgin Islands Army and Air National Guard units received training in Iowa, Kansas, Alaska, Alabama, Minnesota, South Carolina, Florida, Germany, Puerto Rico and at home stations during training year 2005, according to Sgt. 1st Class Karen Williams, the Guard's Virgin Islands public affairs officer. She noted that the Army and Air National Guard come under one umbrella known as the Virgin Islands National Guard.
Williams said there are 768 Army National Guardsmen and 64 Air National Guardsmen in the Virgin Islands. Sixteen soldiers from the 620th Quartermaster Water Purification Company and an aviator are deployed to Iraq, 48 soldiers from the 652nd Engineer Detachment, an Air Guardsman and a headquarters soldier are deployed to Afghanistan, and 45 soldiers from the 640th Quartermaster Water Purification Detachment and 610th Water Supply Company are deployed to Haiti. About 90 members of the 610th and the 640th are slated to deploy to the Middle East in the fall, Williams said.
"We have a lot of kids whose parents are deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti," Glasby noted. "We're preparing our kids for the deployment process, as well as preparing our soldiers to be processed out in the fall. The kids and families, as a whole, are being prepared for deployment."
Glasby said conferences like MCEC provide a wealth of information. "What makes our atmosphere a little different is the fact that we live on islands and we don't have the luxury of going to facilities on military installations," she noted. "But we do have a wonderful dynamic team back home, including our adjutant general, Brig. Gen. Eddy Charles, who supports all of our events and youth programs." Glasby said she gets a lot of support for families from the Veterans Affairs Department, the American Legion and organizations for retirees from the active and reserve components.
Schjang said the organization's two territories being on separate islands can pose a challenge.
"When we're having functions, we have to make sure that we're able to bring one group of kids from one island to the other island," Schjang noted. "You have to have money to get them from one island to the next, because you can't just drive from one location to the next. We can take a boat, seaplane or a regular plane. It takes about 20 minutes on an airplane, 40 minutes on a seaplane and an hour and a half on a boat."
Johnson said an annual territorial workshop brings teenagers from both territories together for activities that relate to the military and other subjects that affect them.
"We might have a session on self-esteem, a topic that leads to educational growth, or topics that affect young people," Johnson said. "Or may be topics on coping with parents or coping with the pressures of teenagers - basic general topics that impact teenagers. They have a great opportunity to interact and for them to have some fun with other teenagers from another island."
This summer's territorial workshop, Glasby said, will feature members of a commercial company that specializes in military personnel services. "They'll be using modules for separations, deployments and different aspects of the deployment avenue," she said.

In the movies and on TV, it seems actors always perform stunts and impossible feats with expertise and ease. But at the Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond this weekend, the actors were mere mortals.
The 12 celebrities slated to participate in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race on April 20, part of the 39th annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, took to the track for four days of race training.
Comedian Wanda Sykes admitted she is "just trying to stay alive." Others who have participated in the charity competition took the intense training in stride, such as Jesse Metcalfe, star of the television show Dallas, who said he felt "a need for speed."
Stars including Sykes and Metcalfe, and Olympic Gold Medalist and Long Beach native Jessica Hardy, made the early-morning trek out to the western-most valley of the Mojave Desert to get a crash course in basic racing from Fast Lane Racing School pro instructor Danny McKeever.
Other celebrities participating include Mexico's most acclaimed actress Kate del Castillo ("La Reina del Sur," "Under the Same Moon," "Trade" and "Weeds"); Brett Davern ("Awkward"), Jenna Elfman ("Dharma & Greg" and "1600 Penn"); Jackson Rathbone ("Twilight"); Michelle Rodriguez ("Avatar"); Jeremy Sisto ("Six Feet Under"); Michael Trucco ("Castle" and "How I Met Your Mother"); Dakota Meyer, a former U.S. Marine and Medal of Honor recipient for his 2009 actions in Afghanistan; Grammy award-nominated and best-selling Mexican pop singer Cristian Castro; Mark Steins, Emmy award-winning journalist and host of Hallmark Channel's "Home & Family;" and Rutledge Wood, auto racing analyst on Fox Sports/SPEED.
Jackson will be participating in this year's Toyota Grand Pix charity race. The race will take place on April 20. Details below!
The 39th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach may be more than a month away, but some famous folks got the green flag Thursday when they were announced as drivers for "Revved Up to Race," the 37th annual pro/celebrity race that serves as a warm-up for the main event.
Jackson Rathbone of "Twilight," Jesse Metcalfe of "Dallas" and "Desperate Housewives," and funny lady Wanda Sykes are only a few of the those who'll be getting behind the wheel of identical new 210-horsepower Scion FR-S race vehicles and burning through 10 laps in downtown Long Beach on April 20.
The event not only benefits Racing for Kids, a national fundraising program supporting U.S. children's hospitals, but, according to Toyota national motorsports manager Les Unger, allows the celebs to "feel the rush behind the wheel on the famous Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach track."
"Laughter is the best medicine!" Hope you'll join us for an evening of Laugh-Out-Loud comedy on Thursday, March 7, 2013 to benefit Make A Film Foundation (MAFF). Hosted by Quddus and starring late-night regular, the hilarious and adorable Wendy Liebman, Chad Coleman from "The Walking Dead", "I Hate My Teenage Daughter" and HBO's "The Wire", known stand-up comic Kerri Pomarolli, along with Zach Cumer (iCarly), Miranda May ("The Heartbreak Kid"); musical performances by Greg Scott & Olivia Faye and Special Appearance by Jackson Rathbone ("The Twilight Sagas"), Kaitlin Doubleday ("Catch Me If You Can") and recording artist, Abraham McDonald and many other celebrities and great performances.
Make A Film Foundation grants film wishes to children who have serious or life-threatening medical conditions and helps them create short film legacies by teaming them with noted actors, writers and directors. They believe the art of film making is therapeutic, offers hope and builds self-esteem. With their 'VIDZ 4 KIDZ' program, Make A Film Foundation teams children who have various medical challenges with hand-held video cameras and film mentors to help them create mini-movies about their lives and challenges. Their motto is "LIFE… Camera… Action!"
It's always nice to see stars give back. And before "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" is released on DVD at midnight on March 2, stars from the film surprised kids at Children's Hospital Los Angeles on Friday.
Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, and Jackson Rathbone all popped in to surprise kids who just thought they were getting a special screening of the film. The "Twilight" stars passed out signed DVDs, posed for pictures, and spent time talking with many families inside the hospital.
"When we were filming [Breaking Dawn] we went and gave our time at the Children's Hospital in Baton Rouge and it feels good to be able to give back," Facinelli told omg! during his visit. "I know a lot of these kids are going through a hard time and anything you can do to put a smile on their face or make their day better, gives them positive energy and keep fighting the good fight to get better."
Facinelli lit up the room by telling a few jokes to the patients and explained what went into filming some of the difficult scenes like the big showdown at the end. (Did you know they had to film with cardboard werewolfs?)
A dozen children gathered around a TV at Children's Hospital Los Angeles March 1, watching a Blu-ray Disc of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2, a day before it's released to the public.
Keaira Lomas-Lee, 13, was answering trivia questions about the "Twilight" franchise before the movie began, smiling wide after getting one of the questions right. Her smile got a lot bigger when "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen) walked through the door.
"What are you guys watching?" he joked, as Elizabeth Reaser (Esme Cullen), Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale) and Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) followed him through the door.
"Can we just sit down and watch all the extras together? I haven't seen them yet," Facinelli said.
"Have you guys seen all the movies?" Reaser asked. Most had.
The stars spent a solid half hour signing DVDs, T-shirts and tote bags, before taking pictures with the kids. Facinelli walked the kids through some of the copious bonuses Summit and Lionsgate included on the DVD and Blu-ray. The four then visited sick children in their rooms.
"I was surprised when they came [in]," Lomas-Lee said, as she looked through the autographed goods she was given. Asked what she planned to do with her signed DVD, she replied: "I'm going to keep mine!"
The adorable Mackenize Foy mentioned Jackson in a recent interview with WWD.
Which of your "Breaking Dawn" co-stars' closets would you most want to raid?
"Definitely Jackson Rathbone's, [who plays vampire Jasper Hale]. He's got all kinds of fun things. Seriously, have you seen his hats? They're awesome."
Looks like Jackson will be participating in another WordTheatre event! Jackson will be reading Richard Baush's "The Eyes of Love". Thanks to epnebelle for the heads up.

Since 1986, the Scripps Celebrity Super Bowl Poll has been asking big names in entertainment, news, sports and pop culture to predict the outcome of the big game. This year, more than 115 celebrities picked between the San Francisco 49ers, led by quarterback Colin Kaepernick, and the Baltimore Ravens, featuring linebacker Ray Lewis.
Take note, betting fans: The celebs have gotten it right 18 times in 27 years.
And this year the majority says the 49ers will seize the Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans.
JACKSON RATHBONE, actor, "Twilight": 49ers, 31-24. The reason behind the prediction is the emergence of Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback for San Fran. He's on fire right now and he looks like early Tom Brady when he won his first Super Bowl. I think they have the momentum and Kaepernick came out of nowhere midseason when the Niners' starting quarterback, Alex Smith, got hurt, so there is very little info on him as far as game preparation goes for opponents. He's really hard to defend because he's a threat to pass and run; most quarterbacks aren't as big, strong and mobile as he is. He is the next big deal in the NFL, and we are watching the beginning of his emergence as an elite quarterback in the league.

OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
The Mammut Herron is a well-designed, attractive, and functional softshell. It's made of two high performing fabrics. Schoeller FTC covers the torso and Mammut SOFtech (a waterproof material) the shoulders and hood. The interior is lined with a thin brushed fleece, making the jacket durable, waterproof, and warm. The fit is performance oriented but slightly larger than other jackets reviewed here. There's plenty of space for a thin fleece and even a lightweight insulated jacket. The Herron has four pockets: two high hands, a welded chest pocket, and a mesh interior stash pocket. We also like its hood design. A high collar protects the face and two dual-corded adjusters make it easy to cinch the hood down in a comfortable way. Of the helmet compatible softshells, the Herron has the only hood that's very comfortable to wear without a helmet (others are too large or cinch down oddly).
Because the Herron is warm and partly waterproof, it's best for alpine skiing. Ice climbing, Nordic skiing, and other more active adventures are less then ideal because of the jacket's weight, limited mobility, and lack of pit zips.
The Herron is a very good looking jacket. We received several positive comments when walking the streets of New York City.
Our main complaints lie with the Herron's limited mobility, average breathability, and lack of versatility. There are no pit zips. It's also too heavy and restrictive for ice climbing, Nordic skiing, and running, but works well for alpine skiing.
Best Application
Alpine skiing.
Mediocre value.

Don't let their record fool you. San Jose State enters this game with eight wins, but that's head-and-shoulders above the record of any team they defeated.
Those eight victories came against schools that had a cumulative 17 wins over 1-A teams, none of whom came close to posting a winning record. The Spartans got past:
Stanford (1-11 vs. 1-A)
1-AA Cal-Poly (1-1 vs. 1-A)
San Diego State (3-8 vs. 1-A)
Utah State (1-11 vs. 1-A)
Louisiana Tech (2-10 vs. 1-A)
New Mexico State (2-8 vs. 1-A)
Idaho (3-8 vs. 1-A)
Fresno State (4-8 vs. 1-A)
New Mexico, meanwhile, had just five wins against 1-A schools. They did manage to defeat Utah, but that was their only win over a team that posted a winning season. The Lobos were one of just seven 1-A teams that managed to lose to a 1-AA school out of the 78 games played this season. They needed overtime to beat a UNLV team that finished 2-10, and lost by a score of 24-7 to an Air Force squad that won just three other games.
The inaugural edition of this bowl will be played on New Mexico's home field in Albuquerque. The Lobos will be looking for their first bowl win since 1961 when they defeated Western Michigan 28-12 in the only Aviation Bowl ever played. Only 3,000 fans attended that postseason affair in Dayton, Ohio. New Mexico's only other bowl win occurred in the 1945 Sun Bowl when they posted a 34-24 triumph over Denver.
This marks San Jose State's first bowl appearance since winning the 1990 California Bowl in Fresno, a game they appeared in four times from 1981-1990.
Running back Rodney Ferguson is the fuel that sparks the New Mexico offense. He ran for 1,132 yards which was 242 more yards than the conference's number two rusher.
Defensively, the Lobos surrendered over 360 yards a game and ranked last in the Mountain West in pass defense. San Jose State gained just over 362 yards per game, but ranked 7th in the 9-team WAC in passing offense.
Spartans' running back Yonus Davis gained 984 yards on an average of 6.3-yards per carry.

The AALL Annual Meeting & Conference is still off in the distance, but it's never too early to plan! I'm pleased to announce that there are two opportunities for NOALL members to receive funding to attend AALL from July 10-13 in Denver. NOALL is offering a $500 scholarship to attend AALL, and NOALL is also eligible for a chapter registration award from AALL. The form will serve as an application for both awards. Please note that there are different deadlines for each award.
1) The application deadline for the AALL chapter registration award is April 16, 2010. Below is a description of the award from AALL:
For each Annual Meeting & Conference, AALL underwrites one free full registration for a number of chapters on a rotation basis. It is the intent that the award be presented to newer members of AALL who meet whatever other criteria the awarding chapter may determine.
By providing an opportunity for a newer member to attend an Annual Meeting, everyone benefits – the member, the chapter and AALL. Our goal is to provide an enriching and valuable experience as the member learns and networks with colleagues from across the country. The result for the chapter and AALL is a member who supports and participates in her or his professional association, both locally and nationally.
2) The application deadline for the NOALL scholarship to attend AALL is May 21, 2010. The NOALL scholarship is open to all NOALL members, as well as students pursuing an MLIS with an interest in law librarianship.

Last month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi led a delegation to Damascus in defiance of the express wishes of President Bush. In response, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's spokesman praised her "courageous position" and expressed the hope that it would inaugurate a dialogue between "the people of the United States" and the Syrian regime, despite President Bush's efforts to isolate it. Pelosi explained her unusual action by saying that she was trying to "build some confidence" between Americans and the Assad government.
Apparently she has succeeded, after a fashion. Assad, at least, seems to have gained confidence that he can behave as brutally as he wishes without incurring too much international opprobrium. In the month since Pelosi's visit, he has ratcheted up repression, all but snuffing out the lingering embers of the "Damascus spring" that followed his accession to power seven years ago. Six prominent dissidents were packed off to prison for sentences ranging from three to twelve years, the longest term being given to Kamal Labwani for "communicating with a foreign country," i.e., the United States. "It's back to the 1980's, to the worst days of his father's rule," commented the exiled dissident Ammar Abdulhamid.
Pelosi reportedly raised Labwani's case, specifically, with Syrian authorities during her visit. His crime, after all, consisted solely of talking to Americans, and here she was to promote dialogue. The specially long sentence now slapped on him amounts to a direct rebuff of her appeal, an expression of disdain. So how has she reacted?
Not at all. There is nothing about Labwani's sentencing, or about any of the other dissidents, on her website. So I put in a call to her press spokesman, Brendan Daly, asking if the Speaker had commented on these events. I received a call back from a deputy of his who assured me that Assad's actions were in "the opposite direction" from the course she had urged on him when she was there. In view of that, I asked, what was her reaction? She had not addressed it yet, he said, but he promised to get me a statement from her by the end of the next business day. That was ten days ago, and I am still waiting. Meanwhile, she has left the country yet again, this time leading a congressional delegation to Greenland, Germany, and Belgium to discuss global warming. Presumably this will build Assad's confidence even further.

Photo use
The Division of University Affairs maintains a library of stock photos for use by MU departments. All requests for stock photos should be submitted to University Affairs.
Internal requests
Need a photo right away? Browse our image library.
Can't find what you need? Schedule a meeting with photography services in Marketing & Communications to search the massive photo database, or hire an MU photographer for a special project.
University departments are typically granted photo usage free of charge for publications that directly promote the university and that comply with MU's branding policies and guidelines. In exchange, we request a credit line; all credits for re-published photos should include the name of the photographer and, if applicable, the name of the publication in which the photo originally appeared. We may ask to review the use of the photos before granting usage permission. Images may not be provided to third parties (internal or external) without explicit approval by University Affairs.
External requests
Individuals seeking an image for personal use may order a print online.
Our offices field stock photo requests from many external sources, including national companies, freelance designers, local organizations and external publications. Depending on the type of usage, we may charge a cost-recovery fee. This practice helps compensate for staff time, equipment, software and labor required to stock and maintain our image database. Our fees are significantly lower than fees of professional stock photo agencies, but our criteria are similar.
- Does the proposed use directly promote the university and/or advance university priorities? The fee is likely to be waived if usage directly benefits the university.
- Is the requestor representing a nonprofit organization? The fee may be reduced for nonprofit purposes.
- Will the proposed use generate revenue for the requestor? The fee is not likely to be waived or reduced for advertisements, products, etc. (Note that all uses must comply with the guidelines set by MU Licensing and Trademarks.)
- How many images are being requested? Fees increase proportionate to number of images.
- Where and how many times will the image(s) be reproduced? Fees increase as number of uses increases.
- How large will the image(s) run? Fees increase in proportion to size of image.
- How much staff time is required to accommodate this request? Fees increase to cover staff time searching for images, converting images to desired format, etc.
Upon signing a licensing agreement, images will be provided in the requested size and format. Images may not be provided to third parties without explicit approval by University Affairs.

How are the ideas behind nature vs. nurture related to "Innatism?"
1 Answer | Add Yours
Innatism is the philosophical position that corresponds to a belief in the power of nature as opposed to nurture.
According to innatist thinkers, people are born with ideas already in their minds. They argue that the mind is not really a blank slate in the way that "tabula rasa" thinkers such as John Locke argue that it is. If people have ideas and concepts in their minds innately, then nature has a great deal of influence on the human being. However, if Locke is correct and the mind is a blank slate at birth, then what we become is completely dependent on our nurture and nature has no role in defining us as human beings.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Kelly Paton (Woodstock, Ontario), a senior forward and captain of the fifth-ranked University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team, has been named a 2010 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award Top 10 Candidate. The announcement was made Tuesday by USA Hockey, the governing body of the award.
The Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award has been presented annually since 1998, when UNH's Brandy Fisher won the inaugural award, to the most outstanding women's ice hockey player in the nation. The Top 10 Candidates were selected by Division I coaches from the initial pool of 45 candidates. A 13-member committee will now select the Top 3 Finalists, which will be announced March 9.
Paton, a senior forward and captain of the Wildcats, is ranked fifth in the nation in points per game (1.65) as well as fourth in assists per game (1.03) and 17th in goals per game (0.61); in other statistics, she is 15th in game-winning goals and 16th in power-play goals. In 10 games vs. nationally-ranked teams, Paton has tallied 14 points (6g, 8a).
Paton completed Hockey East league play ranked second in points (32), assists (20) and power-play points (13) as well as third in goals (12).
Paton leads the team in points (51), goals (19) and plus/minus (+19) and is tied for the lead in game-winning goals with four. She is also second in assists (32) and tied for second in power-play goals (6). Furthermore, she is second in shots (118) and fourth in shooting percentage (.182).
She ended the regular season with a nine-game point-scoring streak in which she recorded 16 points (six goals, 10 assists). Paton opened the 2010 season with a 12-game point-scoring streak that included a stretch of seven consecutive games with an assist. She has tallied a point in 27 of 31 games with 12 multiple-point efforts.
Paton, an exercise science major, is a 2009 Hockey East All-Academic Team selection who has made Dean's List three semesters. Her 2010 accolades include three Hockey East Player of the Month awards and three Hockey East Pure Hockey Player of the Week honors.
The 2010 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award will be presented March 20 at the University of Minnesota's McNamara Alumni Center in conjunction with the Frozen Four. Tickets to the 2010 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award ceremony may be purchased by calling 719-538-1184, or by e-mailing or faxing a completed ticket form, which can be found at PattyKaz.com. Individual seats are $75, while tables of 10 are available for $700.
Including Fisher, the 1998 Award winner, UNH has had a total of 12 Top 10 Candidates. Nicki Luongo (1999), Carisa Zaban ('99 and 2000), Michelle Thornton ('01), Kira Misikowetz ('02), Nicole Hekle ('06), Martine Garland ('07 and '08), Sam Faber ('08), Jenn Wakefield ('09) and Paton ('10) have been UNH's other honorees. Luongo and Zaban ('00) were further honored as Top 3 finalists.
New Hampshire (19-7-5 overall, 13-6-2-0 Hockey East) begins play in the 8th Annual Women's Hockey East Championship tournament March 6 with a semifinal game against Boston University. Game time at Providence College's Schneider Arena is 3 p.m.
