Read Poems by
Chris Ash
You know I love you,
I know you love me.
We belong together,
It was meant to be.
And soon you will be,
In my arms to hold.
Forever in my embrace,
Protected from the cold.
We will be together,
The gods say it so.
Keep your faith in us,
I will never let you go.
Your mind is made up,
Don't change it at all.
Whomever stands against us,
Will surely begin to fall.
Together we are unending,
Immortal and without care.
To give me but a whisper,
And I will soon be there.
Your love tames my flames,
My passion fuels your desire.
And without each other,
We'd fade out like a fire.
Our love is a balance,
Till the end of time you see.
I already know the answer so,
Baby, will you marry me?

Nexus S VERY POSSIBLY Codename Samsung GT-i9020 [Plus: Hands On!]
Using the following links and files as proof, (all of this provided by our fine friends over at Engadget, aka the super sleuths of the internet world,) Picasa (1), (2), FCC, Wi-Fi Alliance, a quick search on Flickr and Picasa have revealed a rather interesting set of circumstances: pictures taken with a "Nexus S" on those sites have revealed some 5-megapixel results. Also, users in those albums have been using a Samsung handset by the model name of GT-i9020 just days before those suspicious photos were taken. Perhaps a recent firmware update changing the EXIF data from the code name to the actual name, that being Nexus S? That sounds reasonable to me.

The Simple Skin Care Guide Every Girl (and Even Guy) Must Read
|June 11, 2012
|Posted by glori under Health, How to, Random
Living in a tropical country like the Philippines means a lot of fun things can happen. Sometimes though, the heat can get to us and our skin. In the recent years, however, Mother Nature has become unpredictable and acts up by giving us plenty of sunshine when it's suppose to be the rainy season and vice versa.
So as much as we (or most of us) pride our natural tan, we still need to make sure that we give the largest organ of our body all the love and protection it deserves when She of the Earth decides to give us a big whopping dose of UV rays.
Here are five simple things you can do to make your skin fabulous!
Drink plenty of water
Although this advise has been used over and over again, there is a reason for it: You really need it and it works! Summer always leads us to dehydrate fast, and we need to replenish our body's water in order to cope with the heat. The warm atmosphere also dries the skin, and the end result of this isn't really pretty. Always have a bottle of water with you during this season.
Eat healthy
Eating healthy can also help you have great skin, not just for the summer but whole year round. The condition of your skin will generally reflect what you eat or drink, so eating junk foods all the time isn't going to do you any good. Sodas and alcoholic beverages should also be drunk minimally. Drink water instead. Not only does this help your skin, it aids in good digestion too.
Moisturize your skin regularly. While drinking water helps keep your skin from drying, moisturizing keeps it smooth and soft. Use a good moisturizer after a bath or shower while your body is still damp. This way, the moisturizer will lock in the moisture in your skin.
Wear light-colored clothes
Wear light-colored clothes during the summer so you can "deflect" the sun's rays. This summer skin care tip can help you avoid being the boiling pot of the sun's heat as its rays are mostly absorbed by dark colors. Wear loose and light-colored clothes will also make you more comfortable during the hot summer, not to mention the opportunity to engage in some summer fashion.
Protect thyself
Use umbrellas, hats, and just cover yourself when it gets too hot. I know that the urge to tan may be difficult to overcome, but the sun's rays can prove harmful than helpful in helping you achieve a beautiful look. Apply sunscreen with SPF 50+ or more at least 20 minutes before going out and use lip balm for your lips. Remember to protect yourself from too much sun as this could lead to skin cancer.
Your Turn!
Now that you know some simple summer skin care tips that would not cost you a dime, be sure to share it with your friends and family so you can enjoy our tropical climate even better, and without the bad skin!

While it may seem like an incredibly simple service, lot striping from a company like Bennett Paving isn't as easy is it seems. In fact, quite a bit goes into striping a parking lot, and the more you understand about this sometimes complex job, the more you'll know when you get ready to make another order from your local paving company.
Keeping Things Orderly: One of the most important factors in any striping job is ensuring things remain orderly. If they don't, your parking lot could quickly become a danger to anyone who happens to park there. You can't simply fill the space with some stripes and head home. Instead, you have to carefully consider the direction of travel of both cars entering and cars exiting the lot. Without that, you may have individuals who drive through areas of your lot they should not, and that could create accidents.
Signage Counts Too: Putting the stripes on the lot is certainly important. What's almost as essential, though, is placing the right signs on the pavement. From crosswalks to arrows to stop bars, you'll need to use these signs in all the right spots so drivers and pedestrians alike stay safe when they come to your building or shop. Don't plan these out on your own, though. You'll want to talk with your paving company about the best places to put these, as thanks to their experience, they may have insights that you simply don't.
More Cars? Wider Spaces? In addition to thinking about the order in which cars should move through the lot and those added signs and symbols, you'll also want to remember to have spaces and lanes wide enough for your traffic. In most cases, you want to make certain that each stall is at least ten feet in width, unless you know all of your customers are going to be riding scooters. Additionally, you'll want to pay attention to local and state handicapped regulations to offer added parking to those individuals. You may also want to think about those customers who may be stopping in from time to time to get a good sense of how wide to actually make each space, as well as how close your lanes should be. Different kinds of individuals may have different preferences.
Parking lot striping isn't always just about getting some paint on the surface. Instead, it often takes a bit of prior planning and the right company to help.

The history major—Historians examine the past to form a meaningful image of events previously hidden, partially understood, or deliberately misinterpreted. History is based on a foundation of documents, novels, maps, archival materials, memoirs, numbers, artifacts, and factual data combined with scholarly writings and analysis. It is a field of study that is part social science, part poetry, and always a humane quest for understanding. To know what is true about the past may be impossible, but the effort has its own rewards. The facility gained by students in interpreting the world historically can transform their consciousness and their lives. Propicit qui respicit: One who looks back looks forward.
Many approaches to history are introduced within the department's program. Courses on the ancient world, the Middle Ages, contemporary Europe and America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean form the core of a curriculum designed to encourage a wide range of historical explorations. Social, cultural, intellectual, political, and transnational histories carry students across various areas and time periods.
Majors master the skills of critical reading, analysis, interpretation, and writing and are introduced to mutually reinforcing approaches to the past. Graduates go on to successful careers in academia, law, business, government, social service, and many other fields since the tools and worldview transmitted through the study of history creates a springboard for endeavors in many realms that rely on the skills a historian learns.
Courses at the 100 and 200 level are the foundation for the advanced seminars and writing courses of the major. Each is a portal that introduces fundamental historical perspectives, chronological ordering schemes, and the secondary literature that defines the fields surveyed. There are also methodology courses at this level that introduce ways of studying history and methods of engagement with primary-source materials.
One cardinal emphasis of the history major is original research based on primary-source materials and the creation of essays or theses that represent a synthesis of evidence and relevant historiographical materials. The upper tier of our major—the 300-level seminars—consists of small seminars whose goal is to foster original projects based on primary sources. Primary materials are also available in abundance on the Web and when not available locally can be obtained readily through the Library's Reference Department.
While not required, the capstone of intellectual achievement in history is a two-semester thesis. The thesis may be elected by any history major following a process of application described on the department's Web page. Successful completion of a thesis is a prerequisite for honors in the major.
Majors are required to complete 12 approved history courses with grades of C- or better. Those who select the thesis option must complete 10 approved history courses and a 2-credit thesis with grades of C- or better. At least eight of these courses, including the senior thesis, HIST 299, and HIST 300, must be completed at Trinity or in academic programs taught or sponsored by Trinity faculty. In the interest of shaping a trajectory from lower-division to higher-division courses, students may apply a maximum of two courses at the 100 and 200 levels taken during their senior year toward the major. The award of departmental honors will be based on superior performance in history courses and in a senior thesis.
Distribution Courses (5 credits)
Students must complete five distribution courses at any level (100, 200, or 300) in order to acquire thematic, geographical, and chronological breadth in the discipline. Each requirement must be fulfilled with a distinct course:
Common Courses (2 credits)
These courses constitute the common experience of all history majors. They develop methodological sophistication and research skills.
300-level seminars (4 credits)
Students are required to take a minimum of four 300-level seminars. All 300-level courses approved for the major are designated seminars and consist of intensive reading, discussion, and writing, either in the scholarly literature or the primary sources of a certain field, or in some combination of both. All 300-level courses fulfill the Writing Part II requirement.
Elective (1 credit) or Thesis Option (2 credits)
Students may apply to pursue a two-semester two-credit thesis during their senior year. They must have a minimum History GPA of 3.0 and submit a proposal and bibliography following departmental guidelines in the spring of their junior year. Students not pursuing the thesis option must take one additional elective course at any level.
Senior Thesis Application Procedure—Schedule for Spring Term of Junior Year
The Thesis Application form is on the History Department home page.
The history minor—The history minor is composed of six courses:
Students must also demonstrate competence in the historian's craft by satisfactorily completing a major research paper based on both primary and secondary sources. This is normally completed in the 300-level seminar but may also be completed by taking HIST 300: History Workshop, and one of the four electives. Each student minoring in history will be assigned a minor adviser, who will assist the student in choosing an appropriate course of study.
Students wishing to minor in history normally must declare their intention by the second semester of their junior year. Normally all courses must be taken at Trinity. Only courses in which the student has received a grade of at least C- can count toward the minor in history.
The coordinator of the history minor is the chair of the History Department.
Study abroad—History majors are strongly encouraged to study abroad, during the academic year, summer, or both. Over 60 percent of Trinity College students take part in foreign study, and the College sponsors its own global learning sites or summer institutes abroad in many parts of the world. The Office of Study Away and its staff offer detailed information about such programs. History faculty members participate in guiding students to appropriate programs and lead such study efforts, which bear history credit, in many parts of the world.
Undergraduates intending to pursue graduate work in history should develop a reading knowledge of two foreign languages.

GT at the Edinburgh Fringe
It's the question we've pondering all Fringe. Boy is it a tricky one. We met up with the incredible Vikki Stone to find out her take on one of life's biggest quandaries… Which Bonnie would you pick? Well, not just that. We went on a walk with Vikki and her lovely dog Bert to take in the lovely Edinburgh landscape and enjoy the sights. Arthur's Seat? Buildings that look like Hogwarts? Nah. Topless runners, mostly.
Vikki's show Instrumental was one of our favourite things we saw this Fringe. Seriously, it's a magnificent show that we want to see again and again. We soon will as it's going to be touring this autumn! For more details, follow Vikki on Twitter to find out when and where. You really should, she's very funny.

Home lighting design ideas
Where lighting is concerned, the more the better. This doesn't mean having a room that is over-bright, but one where light comes from many different sources, creating layers of overlapping pools. This gives a space both atmosphere and character. Equip yourself with an array of lamps, light fittings and pendant shades.
Light, bright living room
How to increase natural light in your home
Updated October 2009
Atmospheric lighting
For a bit of romance, turn down the dimmers and switch off any lights that are too bright, just leaving soft pools of glowing in corners. Candle light is a brilliant way to relax and de-stress after a long day, especially if the candles are scented. You can arrange candles in groups anywhere around a room. Stack a set of large white church candles in an empty fireplace for an instant glow, or place tiny tea lights in ornamental glass jars.

TOKYO, March 21, 2007 The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today thanked the Japanese people and their government for their help in the war on terror.
Marine Gen. Peter Pace spoke about Japanese help in the war on terror and bilateral defense issues during meetings with Japanese leaders here today.
Pace reviewed a Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force honor guard at the Ministry of Defense and met with Foreign Affairs Minister Taro Aso and Defense Minister Fumio Kyuma. The general's counterpart, Adm. Takashi Saito, chief of staff of the Japanese Joint Staff Office, hosted the chairman.
Pace said during a press roundtable that the U.S. military is appreciative of Japanese contributions in Iraq, Afghanistan and at sea.
Japanese engineers from the country's Ground Self-Defense Force help build many projects in southern Iraq's Muthanna province. Their contributions were key in helping the province convert to provincial Iraqi control last summer. It was the first Iraqi province to exercise complete self-rule.
Japanese Air Self-Defense Force pilots and crew are based in Kuwait in support of anti-terrorism efforts. Pace called that contribution "very important" to the missions there.
Finally, Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force oilers are helping maintain the vessels of many countries in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. The chairman said that contribution "helps define stability and helps maintain the sea lanes" in that important part of the world.
The Japanese are reaching out to help their neighbors, the chairman said, and "that's what countering terrorism is all about. It's about helping citizens of various countries to have a better life today than they did yesterday and have them believe that tomorrow will be better than today."
The chairman said the Japanese contributions give people hope that they are on a better path.
Pace also thanked his Japanese hosts for their hospitality. The general and his family lived in Japan from 1994 to 1996. "To be able to come here again is a treat in many ways," he said.
Pace said his discussions with Japanese leaders were excellent and that he wanted to hear their thoughts on how to make the U.S.-Japan alliance work better in the future.
He said the agreement between the United States and Japan on force realignment in the country is one that both nations should be proud of. The agreement calls for more joint and combined facilities in Japan while reducing the footprint of U.S. forces in the nation. Specifically, the agreement calls for major changes on the island of Okinawa.
U.S. and Japanese representatives worked to find the balance between security needs and "the kind of impact that presence of forces -- whether they be Japanese or American -- have on local communities," Pace said.
"It's a very good agreement," he added. "From a military standpoint, I am anxious to do my part to make sure we carry out the agreements and get the forces arranged in such a way that we lessen the impact on individual communities while still providing for security in Japan and stability in the region."

WASHINGTON, May 20, 1997 DoD is slimming down to make way for the future. Quadrennial Defense Review proposals call for cutting troops, civilian employees, bases and major equipment buys as the military streamlines operations to pay for modernization.
"We can sharpen the blade and shave the hilt and give America a sword that's far more lethal and more agile," said Defense Secretary William S. Cohen. "We have an uncertain future, and it requires that we maintain military superiority."
The review released May 19 recommends cutting about 60,000 active duty service members, 55,000 reserve component personnel and 80,000 civilian employees over the next five to six years. The proposed reductions are on top of cuts already planned in the Future Years Defense Plan.
Cohen and Army Gen. John M. Shalikashvili, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced review results at a Pentagon news conference. "In the near term," Shalikashvili said, "the QDR concludes that we can move towards a leaner force by reorganizing headquarters, trimming support functions, improving our ability to manage optempo and perstempo and realigning reserve forces."
The review proposes cutting 15,000 active duty Army personnel, 18,000 Navy, 27,000 Air Force and 1,800 Marine. This is in addition to the Future Years' Defense Plan cuts of 30,000. There are currently 1.45 million active duty service members.
The review proposes cutting about another 55,000 reserve component service members -- 45,000 Army, 4,100 Navy, 700 Air Force and 4,200 Marine Corps. Army leaders will determine the exact breakdown of Army Reserve and National Guard, DoD officials said. Officials already plan a 10,000-member cut under the Future Years Defense Plan. There are now 900,000 service members in the reserve components.
The review proposes an added cut of 80,000 civilian workers, which would bring total planned civilian cuts to 160,000. The review proposes Army losing 33,700 civilian workers, Navy, 8,400; Air Force, 18,300; and Marine Corps, 400. The remaining 19,200 cuts will come from DoD's 24 defense agencies, officials said. There are 800,000 civilians working for DoD.
"Modest reductions in the active force and infrastructure will be targeted at supporters and not shooters," Cohen said. Support organizations will be more responsive to the warfighters they support, he said. The review includes a proposed cut of about 109,000 military and civilian support personnel.
Active duty end strength will be 1.36 million, down 36 percent from 1989, Shalikashvili said, with the reserve components dropping to 835,000, down 29 percent. Civilian personnel will decline to 640,000, down 42 percent from 1989.
"While these reductions are essential if we are to meet our modernization goals, these reductions will not be easy," Shalikashvili said. "These are not positions or spaces I'm talking about; they are people. Every man or woman who leaves the service is a unique story in his or her own right. To keep faith with our people, our most precious resource, we will offer a wide range of programs and services, as we did during previous drawdowns."
These will include early retirement and voluntary separation programs, selected continuation of benefits for separated members and comprehensive transition assistance. "Some of these tools will expire at the end of fiscal year 1999, but we will ask Congress that they be continued beyond then so we can implement these reductions fairly and compassionately," Shalikashvili said.
Throughout the review, the chairman said, defense officials tried to minimize the impact of force reductions on those who will leave and those who will stay. "Our major strength is our men and women. They and their families must remain our highest priority, and we must continue to provide for their quality of life," Shalikashvili said. "From the beginning of this process, we were very conscious that we must balance the requirements to invest in the force of tomorrow, with the requirement to field and trained and ready force today."
Defense officials looked for ways to generate money for modernization without degrading readiness, Shalikashvili said. "Readiness is already challenged by the high operating tempo we face in every one of our services."
Defense officials believe they can reduce stress on the force, increase service members' time at home and maintain readiness at the same time, he said. The review proposes cutting the number of man-days per major joint and service training exercise to help reduce personnel and operational tempo. It also calls for reviewing deployment rates for specialized units such as Patriot missile batteries, airborne warning and control aircraft and military police.
Base closures will also add savings to the modernization account. DoD officials plan to request congressional approval to conduct two rounds of base realignment and closure, including a consolidation of laboratories and research, development and test facilities.
"Even after four BRAC rounds, we still have excess facilities," Cohen said. "Our force structure is down roughly 33 percent; infrastructure has been reduced roughly 21 percent. The QDR confirmed we're still carrying some excess weight. By slimming down our operations, we can plow that money into the kind of modernization we believe is necessary for the future."
DoD is beginning to break even on previous base closures, Cohen said. "By the year 2001, they will pay back over $5 billion annually," he said. "Again, this is money we can use to equip our troops with the most advanced weaponry."
The review proposes some force structure changes within the services. While the Army retains 10 active, combat ready divisions, plans call for cutting 15,000 soldiers and 45,000 reservists through deactivation, consolidation and realignment of headquarters and support facilities. Some reserve combat units will convert to combat support units.
The Navy will retain 12 carrier battle groups and 12 amphibious ready groups, but the number of attack submarines will drop from 73 to 50, and surface combatant ships will drop from 128 to 116. Plans call for cutting the number of Navy FA-18E/F fighter jets to be bought from 1,000 to 548, but increasing the number of Joint Strike Fighters to 480.
"These fleet reductions, combined with streamlining of overseas infrastructure, and the transfer of some combat logistics functions to the Military Sealift Command, will allow the Navy to reduce active and reserve end strength by 18,000 and 4,100 personnel, respectively," Shalikashvili said.
The Air Force will go from 13 to 12 fighter wings and eight reserve wings. Air Force fighter and bomber units will consolidate and the continental air defense structure will be reduced. Plans call for cutting the number of Air Force F-22 aircraft from 438 to 329. "These initiatives will allow the Air Force to realize a reduction of approximately 27,000 active duty personnel," Shalikashvili said.
The Marine Corps will maintain its current three divisions, but will take modest reductions in end strength through restructuring -- about 1,800 troops, Shalikashvili said. Plans call for accelerating production of the Marine's MV-22 tilt rotor aircraft, but reducing the number from 425 to 360.
The nuclear force structure will be maintained at Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty I levels until START II is ratified, Shalikashvili said. "We remain committed to START II and III and plan to use the savings from these reductions possible to further our National Missile Defense Program," he said.
Highlights of other review proposals include:
Cohen said the defense review was based on a three-pronged strategy: shaping world environment through forward presence and strong alliances; responding to world crises ranging from small-scale contingencies to two nearly simultaneous major theater wars; and preparing for the future by combining modern technology with new informational concepts as outlined in the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Joint Vision 2010.
"We have to modernize if we're to meet our strategy," Cohen said. "We have to deregulate the department so we can become as efficient and agile as our warfighters." The Cold War's end, he said, brought new missions and new challenges.
"The threat of nuclear war has receded," Cohen said. "But there are dangers that remain, and some are changing and growing." These include aggression by hostile states in key regions, proliferation of weapons technology and transnational dangers such as uncontrolled migrant flows, illegal drug trafficking and international organized crime, he said.
"We do not expect a regional power or a peer competitor for the next 10 or 15 years, but we have to prepare for that possibility in the years beyond," Cohen said.

Makeup by Kahlia Adams // Hair Cut by Michael at TRiM Hair Salon
{Photos by Jen of Her Waise Choice}
As of last week, my hair was in a state of emergency. The length was so out of control. It was at the point where only the ends would curl, I constantly found nests of knots in the back, and I was wearing my hair up in a bun more often than anyone should. And so, I called in for backup and saw Michael at TRiM for a fresh haircut.
Most people who see me just comment on the fact that my long hair is gone, but I LOVE this change. It's so much healthier, easier to manage, and perfect for our trip to Mexico next week. My hair grows like a weed anyway, so in a month you won't even be able to tell I cut it :P
Did you do anything shocking (yes, this is classified as "shocking" in my world) with your hair this year? How did yours turn out?

D.C. teacher fired for 'Mr. Teachbad' blog, he says (video)
- This man used to teach your children.
Peter Gwynn is one of 206 D.C. public school teachers who were fired earlier this month for poor performance, but he believes he was really let go because of his blog, Mr. Teachbad, where he wrote that lazy students should "piss off" and that forcing kids to take AP tests is "fucking pathetic." Yeah, that might have something to do with it.
Gwynn, who taught at the Columbia Heights Education Campus, wrote in a letter to the Post:
I believe that my administrators wanted to get rid of me and that I was punished for my writing. In the blog I never reference people or places by name — and my name is not on it — though I do recount events from my school truthfully and in detail. It is satirical, vulgar, bombastic, and critical. If I worked for myself, I would want to fire me. Many people have expressed disapproval of the blog. That is their right, as it is my right to write it.
What could be so bad about his blog ("Where Teachers Laugh and Complain")? Well, let's see. The banner image is of a switchblade and a piece of ruled paper with the word "teachbad" written in red glitter ink, to resemble blood. OK. And his posts? One reads:
I've sort of had it with kids who just don't want to do anything. If you are plainly not trying to pass my class, then piss off. You do nothing but consume resources. You are a black hole. I'm so tired of the 'we won't give up on you' stories and rhetoric. Maybe we should give up sometimes. I gave up trying to dunk a basketball when I came to understand that I was not very tall, nor could I jump well. That just wasn't my thing.
And another:
My school gets a big award every year and a write-up in the paper because it forces hundreds of kids to take AP tests who have no chance of passing AP tests. NO CHANCE. HUNDREDS. I do not exaggerate. The key is that the award is based just on the number of kids who we force to take the tests, not the number who pass. So we can't lose. We threaten kids for weeks that their poor immigrant parents will have to pay $87 if they don't show up for the test. It's fucking pathetic.
Other posts include "Jesus Loves You, But Everyone Else Thinks You're An Asshole" and "I Was a Shittier Teacher This Week." Gwynn even has his own YouTube channel, where, in one video, he's wearing a disguise and singing a song entitled "I Hate Children."
Wow. We are torn between admiring his chutzpah and considering how we would feel if we had children.

Day 1 at Boston nationals: World records by Burke and Hewitt
Here's a news release produced by Bob Weiner's crew:
BOSTON, Mass. – UPDATE: Three-time Olympian Ed Burke, the US flagbearer at the 1984 Olympics, broke the world record for men 70-74 three times in the 16-pound weight throw with a toss of 20.93 meters/68 ft. 8 inches in a special night session at the USA Masters Indoor Track Championships in Boston. [Listed M70 WR is 19.64 by American Robert Ward in 2005.] The special session, at the conclusion of the day's events, ensure safety at the track, because of Burke's distances. The throwing area was reconfigured to allow for the record throws. Burke, 74, from Los Gatos, CA, broke the existing record three times. Burke said he is "very pleased with the result. I did it because I stayed healthy. Masters track is a wonderful, motivating outlet. Proper preparation played into it. I started in November throwing heavy weights. Masters track is a wonderful, motivating outlet."
Also at the 2014 USA Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships today, Irene Obera (Fremont, Calif.), on the meet's first day, obliterated the world W80 400 meter mark by over 20 seconds minute and the US mark by almost a half minute. The Fremont, Calif. native isn't done yet, as she competes in the women's 60m, 200m and shot put over the next two days. Though she hadn't competed in a nationals for three years, she said she had so much fun that she announced her intention to compete in this summer's July 17-20 outdoor USA Masters Championships in Winston-Salem, NC.
Another world record was set Friday, as Robert Hewitt (Gresham, Ore.) turned in a score of 4,349 points in the M80 pentathlon, shattering the previous record [3879 by Italy's Bruno Sobrero in 2001] by nearly 500 points. Hewitt bested the field of M70-84 competitors in the long jump (4.00m – 1,048 pts) and put forth top-two finishes in the 60mH (11.72 – 979 pts), shot put (9.64m – 814 pts) and high jump (1.23m – 915 pts) to position himself within striking distance of the record. Hewitt needed just 123 points to set the new world record and did just that, registering a 5:14.95 finish in the 1,000m for 593 points.
Nolan Shaheed (Pasadena, Calif.), 64, was tremendous in the M60-64 3,000 meters, besting the field by nearly a minute and crossing in 10:23.42. This is the first of three events for Shaheed in Boston, competing in the 800m and the mile later in the meet.
Wayne Sabin (Milwaukie, Ore.), 80, set a new American record in the super weight throw (25 lb), tossing a mark of 9.01m/29-6.75. [Beating the listed AR of 7.94 (26-0) by Val McGann in 2008.]
Leland McPhie, a World War II veteran and former San Diego sheriff captain who turned 100 March 10, competed in the men's weight throw and super weight throw. McPhie (San Diego, Calif.), a fan favorite at the meet, will also compete in the men's high jump and shot put on Saturday afternoon. As the first centenarian ever to compete in the indoor high jump, McPhie would set the world mark in the event.

Hello Nolan
Well done, last month I ran the 3k in 10'52 at Nat French
I would have been a nice target for your last lap.
Peter Taylor. - March 15, 2014
Well, it got a little complicated with Irene Obera's apparent W80 world mark in the 400, and I didn't do a good job of explaining things over the microphone. Irene did break the listed world record, but Emma Mazzenga ran a slightly faster time last week.
As we have the "pending" designation for American records but not for world marks, it's a little hard to describe a mark such as Mazzenga's. In addition, we have no idea of whether Mazzenga's time will be accepted.
I expect Irene to break the American and possibly the world record in the 60 today, and there I don't think we have the problem of possibly better marks out there.
Tomorrow we have the 200, and again we have the "Mazzenga problem" (better time than the existing world mark). In conclusion, I wouldn't be quite so tough on USATF regarding its reporting of Irene's 400, as all we can really go on are the listed marks.

Environmental Management Systems
Left to Right: Mike Hedrick, Gale Norton, Mike Granger
The Charles M. Russell (CMR) National Wildlife Refuge is one of the first sites in the Department to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) and it has done so commendably. An Environmental Management System is a collection of policies, plans, practices, activities, and evaluations that ensure environmental goals are met. The EMS created an Environmental Management Plan which identified Refuge operations' environmental impacts, set goals and targets to improve environmental performance, and introduced a Refuge-wide Environmental Management Policy. To implement the Plan, CMR purchased one hybrid vehicle and three diesel pickup trucks (58% more fuel efficient and fueled with biodiesel). Staff use re-refined oil in all Refuge vehicles; recycle paper, oil, antifreeze, fluorescent bulbs and steel; and purchase products made with recycled content. Most importantly, environmentally preferable practices are a part of every day life for CMR employees who are given responsibility for environmental performance in their personal performance plans and who receive training to safely and competently fulfill their environmental duties. CMR's environmental goals undergo several self-assessments, results are reported, and any goals not met are specifically addressed. Positive implementation of Environmental Management Systems is a key to meeting the Department's environmental compliance requirements and to go beyond compliance to achieve environmentally sustainable practices.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
By Stephen from USA on 2011-07-04 08:15:46Things I liked:I bought a "preowned" rifle, which was $80 discount. It is in perfect conditon. The metalwork, and bluing on this rifle is stunning. This is a serious high quality piece. Smooth shooter, accurate, great trigger. This one will definitely draw a crowd at the firearms range. Most powderburner guys think a Gamo is the pinnacle of airguns.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:Lighter than the fullsized TX. Also a little harder to cock, with the shorte lever, but no problem, easier than an RWS 48. It's very easy, even convenient, to hold the lever firmly with your off hand when loading the rifle. That's the safe way to load a springer, even one with a beartrap, which this one has.

The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 06/30/2014 settlement date, which shows a 796,965 share decrease in total total short interest for Cincinnati Financial Cincinnati Financial Corp. (NASD: CINF), to 2,949,986, a decrease of 21.27% since 06/13/2014. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for CINF at the 06/30/2014 settlement increased to 468,992, as compared to 428,722 at the 06/13/2014 report. That brought "days to cover" down to 6.29, a 28.03% decrease from the 8.74 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.

The below chart shows the historical "days to cover" for CINF at previous short interest release dates:
A decreased "days to cover" value could indicate that short sellers are no longer expecting the same decline in stock price they once were, or it could also indicate a long bet elsewhere was closed where CINF had been shorted as a hedge.
The chart below shows the one year performance of CINF shares, versus its 200 day moving average. Looking at this chart, CINF's low point in its 52 week range is $43.62 per share, with $53.74 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $47.66.
CINF makes up 2.05% of the SPDR S&P Mortgage Finance ETF (KME)
In afternoon trading Friday, CINF was down about 0.2% on the day.

Also known as a yarmulke or skullcap, a kippah is a headcovering for Jews.
By MJL Staff
We Also Recommend
A kippah (skullcap or yarmulke) is a small hat or headcovering. In traditional Jewish communities only men wear kippot (the plural of kippah) and they are worn at all times (except when sleeping and bathing). In non-Orthodox communities some women also wear kippot, and people have different customs about when to wear a kippah–when eating, praying, studying Jewish texts, or entering a sacred space such as a synagogue or cemetery. The Reform movement has historically been opposed to wearing kippot, but in recent years it has become more common and accepted for Reform men and women to cover their heads during prayer and Jewish study.
There is no halakhic requirement to cover one's head, but it is considered a sign of reverence for God. Keeping the head covered at all times has mystical significance, and for this reason some people cover their heads twice–a hat over a kippah, or a tallit (prayer shawl) over a kippah–while praying.
Kippot can be made out of many materials. In traditional Orthodox communities men wear black velvet or silk kippot, often under hats. In Modern Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform communities it is common to see men wearing leather or crocheted kippot.

The Aiken High School boys basketball team got off to a fast start and never looked back against Strom Thurmond.
The Hornets (2-1) got four 3-pointers by Justin Smith in the games first ten minutes and a monster game from Shawn Moore, who had 25 to best the Rebels (1-2) and Daquarius Johnsons 17 points.
Both of those kids shoot the basketball extremely well, Aiken head coach Tony Harrell said. I was proud of the way that the ball moved; we had great ball movement, and when youre a shooter and you can get open looks its a lot easier to knock those down. We did a tremendous job getting out shooters in spots where they could knock down those shots.
The 3-point line has haunted the Rebels in their past two games, as both Butler (Ga.) and Aiken have had success from beyond the arc. In this matchup the Hornets knocked down nine, with Smith and Moore both having four and Jordan Habersham having one of his own.
You know what hurt us tonight? Three-pointers and rebounds, Strom Thurmond head coach Bo Rouse said following the game. If we wouldve defended against 3-pointers and got some rebounds it would have been a totally different game. One of the things we thought coming in here was that we could out-rebound them, and that wasnt the case. They killed us on the boards. They killed us.
The Rebels were unable to get a substantial run going until five minutes remained in the fourth. Strom Thurmond got within nine, and after a back-and-fourth defensive stand by both teams, the Rebels were able to get a steal and close the gap to seven.
That would be as close as Strom Thurmond would get, however, as Ryan McKie hit a layup, followed by big shot by John Besson, and Moore got a layup of his own and the foul on three straight trips. Defensively the Hornets were able to force the Rebels into bad shots.
We stress defense, and last Thursday we gave up a lot of points, Harrell said. We talked a lot about playing better defense, and we changed up our defense a bit, we played a lot more zone than were use to. We wanted to do a better job at stopping layups, and we did that.
Layups get you beat in high school basketball, and we didnt give up a lot of layups tonight so we were able to hold them down.
Strom Thurmond will look to get back on the winning track at Saluda on Friday night, while Aiken hosts Silver Bluff. Both games are scheduled to tip at 8 p.m.

3 pointersKennion (2), Johnson, Brooks
Monique Tyler had 20 points, and the Hornets were able to cruise to an easy win despite being shut out in the fourth quarter.
The Hornets (3-2) put up 36 points in the first half and their defense frustrated and confused the Rebels (1-2) who had trouble with turnovers.
We got away from our pressure, which is what we use to generate our offense, Aiken head coach Aubrey Pompey said. We talked before the game that we needed to score in the halfcourt game. In the second half, it didnt work too well, but we had the game in hand, and it gave everyone an opportunity to get in and get some reps.
Aikens defensive pressure was a major key in the first half, and it used those steals to create scoring opportunities in the paint with Tyler and outside with Rebekah Muir, who had three 3-pointers on the night.
Weve been able to do that early, and sometimes the offenses for these teams dont catch up to the defense until later on in the season, Pompey said of the pressure that his team generated. Were probably a little ahead defensively; were playing well and getting in position. Were also taking some chances, but people are rotating and getting where they need to be.
The Aiken girls will be in action on Friday night at 6 p.m. as they host Silver Bluff, while Strom Thurmond will head to Saluda with tip scheduled for the same time.

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Sixty years ago today, Mississippi State University was still a little over a decade away from the historic and peaceful admission of Richard E. Holmes as MSU's first African-American student on July 19, 1965 - and a young man named Donald Mayfield Brown had not yet been born.
But the way to equity in academic opportunity for African-American young people was substantially paved by the decision of the Supreme Court on May 17, 1954, in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision that dismantled the "separate but equal" doctrine for public education and the so-called "Jim Crow" laws that institutionalized that doctrine in the South.
President Barack Obama on Friday commemorated the 60th anniversary of the school desegregation decision during an event at the White House. United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Ertharin Cousin referred to the 60th anniversary of the Brown decision in her commencement speech as part of her challenge to the students. Cousin, who was recently named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People, told MSU graduates that they were approaching their own moments of destiny.
"Each day requires choices that mold society. You're minutes from the next milestone in your life," Cousin said. "I am confident that each and every one of you here today has been well prepared by MSU, by your parents and by your classmates to make these choices and to take over the reins as our next generation."
One member of Cousin's commencement audience was MSU 2014 Rhodes Scholar Donald Mayfield "Field" Brown of Vicksburg, the English and philosophy double-major who earlier this year became the university's first Rhodes Scholar since 1911. Brown plans to pursue masters of studies degrees in both American literature and modern English literature.
Brown is MSU's first African-American Rhodes Scholar. Each year, 32 young Americans are chosen as Rhodes Scholars on the basis of demonstrated scholarly achievements, character, commitment to others and the common good, and leadership potential.

PROTECTOR FOR DENTAL DRILL: HAND PIECES Filed March 2, 1955 INVENTOR,
Ayn-'0 M LIN/N625? W m m Cir Patented May 19, 1936 UNITED STATES 2,041,077 PROTECTOR FOR DEgTAL DRILL HAND PIEC S Alfred M. Lininger, Englewood, 0010.
Application March 2, 1935, Serial No. 9,026
2 Claims.
' This invention relates to a protector for dental hand pieces. It is exceedingly difficult to maintain a, dental handpiece sterile, owing to the fact that it consists of small gears, bearings, etc., which must be kept lubricated, and which can not therefore be convenientlysterilized. These hand pieces are placed in the mouths of the patients, where they are quickly contaminated and become a source of infection.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a protecting device which will absolutely protect both the operator and patient from contact with the hand piece or its operating mechanism, and will also protect the hand piece from being contaminated or injured from saliva, etc.
Other objects and advantages reside in the detail construction of the invention, which is designed for simplicity, economy, and efficiency. These will become more apparent from the following description.
In the following detailed description of the invention reference is had to the accompanying drawing which forms a part thereof. Like numerals refer to like parts in all views of the drawing and throughout the description.
In the drawing:-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a typical straight dental hand piece illustrating the invention in place thereon. In this view, the protector has been partially broken away to show the interior thereof.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the protector adapted to a contra-angle on the hand piece.
Fig. 3 is a magnified section, taken at the bur opening of the protector.
In the drawing, a typical hand piece is indicated at II] with its spindle pulley at II, chuck adjusting screw at I2 and sheath collar at 2|. The chuck portion of the hand piece is shown at I3, for receiving the usual drill or bur I4 or other tool. A portion of the wrist joint frame is shown at I5 and the hand piece attachment screw at I6 for holding angle members such as shown at H in place thereon.
The invention comprises: a light metallic sleeve I8 and a series of removable rubber tips such as shown at I9 and 20. The sleeve is of a length to enclose the entire sheath of the hand piece Ill from the sheath collar 2| to the attachment screw IS. The sleeve is made slightly larger than the sheath of the hand piece, and is of resilient material so that it can be slightly distorted and slid over the screw I6, and will snap into place behind this screw, as shown in Fig. 1. The screw will then hold the sleeve in place over the sheath until it is manually pulled therefrom.
The lower extremity of the sleeve is provided with an annular bead 2|, which is engaged by the rubber tips I9 and 20 tohold the latter in place.
The sleeve I8 of the device is similar, regardless of whether the hand piece is being used straight or with an angle head H. The rubber tips differ, however, the tip 20 being sufficiently long to enclose the entire angle I'I.
Both tips are provided with an opening 22 opposite the chuck opening for the passage of the drill or bur M. This opening is preferably made slightly smaller than the diameter of the bur shank so that the natural elasticity of the rubber will cause the latter to form a water-tight joint at the bur shank.
To provide lubrication at this point, it is preferred to dip the shanks in a suitable lubricant before they are inserted through the opening 22. This acts to relieve friction and also to further seal the running joint at this place. To facilitate holding the lubricant in place, it is preferred to form a lubricant channel 23 about the shank opening, as shown in Fig. 4, so that the lubricant will be maintained about the drill shank at all times.
It can be readily seen that the above construction will protect the hand piece and its contained mechanism from contamination, and will also protect the patient from contact with the hand piece. The tips can be readily pulled from place and the sleeve can be slid from the hand piece and. conveniently sterilized for each operation. The sleeves may be formed of stainless steel or chromium plated metal so as to avoid corrosion and are suiiiciently light in weight not to interfere with the normal use of the hand-piece.
During an oral operation, it is often necessary for the operator to often change the burs, drills, or mandrels in the chuck, and to do this, he must hold the spindle pulley II while he loosens or tightens the chuck screw I2. These latter parts cannot be kept sterile, and if contacted by the operator's fingers, can transfer infection to the patient.
To prevent this, a metallic thumb strip 24 is secured to the upper portion of the sleeve I8, and extends upwardly alongside the pulley l I normally out of contact therewith. This enables the operator to place his thumb against the sterilized strip 24 to hold the pulley from rotation during the drill changing operations A cap 25 is formed of noncorrosive metal is provided for covering the head of the chuck screw I2.
This cap is preferably formed of resilient metal, although it could be of rubber, and is preferably slightly distorted so that its open side is normally oval in shape. This distortion causes the cap to cling to the head of the screw ii to maintain the former in place. It can therefore be readily seen that the operator need not contact a single unsterile surface during his operation of the hand piece.
The tip l9, illustrated in Fig. 1, is for the usual straight hand piece. The tip illustrated in Fig. 3 is for a contra-angle for the hand piece. A similar tip could be formed for a right angle head which would be similar to the tip 20, except shorter in length.
While a specific form of the improvement has been described and illustrated herein, it is desired to be understood that the same may be varied, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
'Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A protector for dental hand pieces of the type having a projection for aligning an angle attachment comprising: a metallic sleeve shaped to slide over the sheath of said hand piece and spring in place back of said projection; a rubber tip shaped to fit over the chuck of said hand piece and engage the extremity of said sleeve, said tip being provided with an opening for the passage of the operating instrument; and a metallic member extending upwardly from said sleeve so as to assume a position opposite the spindle pulley of said hand piece.
2. A protector for dental hand pieces having a projection adjacent the lower extremity of said hand piece comprising: a resilient metallic sleeve of a diameter to slip snugly over said hand piece and snap into place back of said projection; a rubber tip provided with an opening for an operating tool, said tip being of a diameter to snugly engage the lower extremity of said sleeve; and a strip member secured to and extending upwardly from said sleeve to a position adjacent the spindle pulley of said hand piece.

We can see the capitalised selling price of a UK home harmonises well with the income stream at about 5%:
- Annual rental value (perpetual income stream) £11,500
- Average house price £230,000
- Median UK wage after 50% nominal tax £10,500
- Capitalised human body price £210,000 (slave)
There is an economic theory that says in general, as soon as the value of land exceeds the value of slave labour, its no longer worth owning slaves. It's much better to set them free and charge them rent before they can start earning instead. Throw in the democratic vote as a teaser.
There are loads of added bonuses. No need to keep them fed, in good health, sheltered and under guard, enormous expenses. And if the demand for what they make drops off you can throw them onto the state no problem. No risk.
BIG BUT: There is a subtle difference today. You don't need to own the land directly to enslave the people any more. Now you only need to own the thing used to exchange the land values. The Money. Mortgage interest being nominally Rent.
That makes you an EVEN more effective slave owner. No need to do anything at all any more. No more expensive wars of conquest national or international. Let the state do that for you too.
You will now get ALL their work, without having to give ANY of your own in exchange, if you own The Money.
Banks. Our 21st century aristocratic masters of old, different name, still slavery.
p.s. Banker bonuses are merely better pay going to better slaves all to increase bank revenues. The slave masters are not stupid. They hire the best slaves and pay them well. These are not the wisest or most intelligent. Just the most ambitious.
