religion, philosophy and ethics
As a department we aim to enable students to think clearly, honestly and accurately in the field of experience oftern referred to as religion and belief, and to promote understanding and tolerance among peoples of a variety of faiths and thoses who have none. The Department aims to:
- Encourage stduents to recognise that religion forms a fundamental part of human experience and is, therefore, an essential part of a pupil's education
- Enable each students to develop a deeper understanding of themselves as well as an empathy with and tolerance of others
- Help each pupil to understand the demands and consequences of accepting a religious faith
- Allow the pupils the opportunity to encounter ideas and beliefts different to their own
- Enable the pupil to be critically aware of the religious, spiritual and moral dimensions of human experience
- Create an environment where the pupil is able to communciate their own ideas
- Strive to create an atmostphere of enjoyment and understanding
- Communicate each religion as a living faith, examining the practices and experiences of believers
- Appreciate the positive contribution that faiths are making to many ethical issues of global significance, including ecology and medical ethics
- Allow each pupil to become more aware of contemporary issues in society, such as the Developing World, Prejudice, Crime, Sexuality and the religious responses to these issues
- Develop a philosophical approach to existence, recognising the value of challenging ideas and raising questions
We aim to pursue academic rigour while instilling a love of learning and fascination with the variety of belief and non-belief in all our students. We believe that Religion, Philosophy and Ethics is an essential part of all stduents' education because:
- It seeks to ask the fundamental questions of life which impact upon humanity
- It prepares students to develop their own beliefs and values
- It exposes students to the ideas of the greatest thinkers our world has evey know and encourages them to develop a critical view of them
- It promotes a respectful and critical tolerance of our differences
- It develops invaluable transferable skills which are demanded for many professions and are necessary for many areas of life
- It provides students with the tools to begin to understand the profound influence religion has had, and continues to have, on our history and culture
The Department makes effective use of a wide range of resources and is keen to use innovative teaching techniques to help to communicate complex ideas. We emphasise the importance of developing a broad knowledge of the history of ideas and religion which has wide reaching significance across the curriculum. Our syllabus offers students a wide range of introductory subjects from Year 7 upwards, each developing new skills and contributing to broad general knowledge. We are proud of our impressive examination results, high uptake in the Sixth Form and the growning interest in Theology, Philosophy and Religious Studies at degree. We also have a good record of sending students to Oxbridge to study the subject.
Years 7 - 9
RPE in Year 7 provides a coherent overview of the Abrahamic faiths placing each of these religions in the context of their relationship with each other. Students will also build up an understanding of a range of ideas, concepts and skills. Our study of Judaism which includes a brief study of the structure and history of the religion as well as a consideration of festivals, worship and central beliefs. Students will also consider its links to Christianity and Islam as Abrahamic faiths. We move on to look at Christianity; in particular students will study the history of the religion, inlcuding an understanding of the many different denominations and the modern structure of Christianity as well as a consideration of the importance of Jesus and his teachings for Christians. Students produce an Easter Newspaper following the events surrounding this Christian festival. Finally we study Islam where we look at the foundations of the belief of Islam, the five pillars including the pilgrimage of Hajj. The role of Islam from a global perspective is also considered. We consider the importance of pilgrimage and sacred places to a religious believer.
In Year 8 the students are introduced to philosophy with an analysis of some ultimate questions such as 'Does God exist?' and 'Why do we suffer?'. They are encouraged to consider religious and alternative perspectives on these questions. In addition we also begin an investigation into the structure and origin of the Bible as a historical and spiritual text; this is a great introduction to some high level theological studies for the girls. A study of Hinduism includes looking at the stories and practices of Hinduism as well as discovering some of the central tenets of its beliefs. Students will produce a project about the concept of God in Hinduism. Our study of Buddhism inlcudes a study of the life of Buddha and a comprehensive examination of the Dharma (teachings of the Buddha).
Year 9 serves as an introduction to the work that could be continued further in the GCSE papers in Years 10 and 11. Students are encouraged to further develop their analytical skills and to think critically about established philosophical and ethical concepts and ideas. This is an exciting section which allows the students to study key ideas from some of the world's most renowned philosophers such as, Aristotle, Plato, Kant, Nietzche and Marx. We will also study the, often uneasy, relationship between science and religion through a study of Genesis and the Big Bang and the theory of evolution. Building upon this philosophical foundation, we look at the Jewish Holocaust of the Second World War and the way in which Jewish thinking has changed in the light of this event. There will be some consideration of Jewish theological responses to the Holocaust. In particular we focus on Hollywood and the Holocaust studying the ways in which the Holocaust has been depicted in a range of films including Schindler's List, Shoah and Life is Beautiful. We then go on to consider the topic of Religion and Ethics. This is actually an adapted GCSE module that we study in a non-examination context. We explore the ways in which people make moral decisions. This will naturally lead us into a contemporary study of ethics and in particular a consideration of the concepts of justice and law. From a religious perspective we look at morality and ethics in action while considering some particular topics, such as prisoners of conscience and capital punishment.
YEARS 10 and 11
Our GCSE syllabus consists of two papers: Religion and Life through a study of Christianity, and Religion and Society through a study of Christianity and Islam. These papers are an exciting exploration of how and why religion has had such a massive impact on our world and behaviour. Students have the unique opportunity to consider and reflect upon how belief has shaped people's position on issues such as abortion, euthanasia and relationships. They will have the chance to get involved in ethical conversations taking place in modern medicine, for example, human rights, war and peace, environmental ethics, crime and punishment and the role of personal conscience in these matters. All these issues amongst many others, are examined, discussed and evaluated in the light of Christian, secular and, in the case of the Society paper, Islamic views.
Religion and LIfe through a study of Christianity: This unit requires students to study the relationship between religion and life in the UK. There are four sections covering believing in God, matters of life and death, marriage and the family, and religion and community cohesion.
Religion and Society through a study of Christianity and Islam: This unit requires students to study the relationship between religion and society, especially in the UK. There are four sections covering Rights and Responsibilities, Environmental and Medical Issues, Peace and Conflict, and Crime and Punishment.
Assessment: Students are asked to take two examination papers with no coursework component.
Philosophy and Ethics is an open-ended discipline where we explore the diverse value systems of our society by examining the philosophical and political implications of religious and non-religious beliefs. It teaches students to think clearly and to argue convincingly about deeply interesting questions. It is not simply an academic subject, but addresses the puzzles and questions that arise in everyone's life. It aims to enable students to think rationally, lucidly, independently and critically, to discuss intelligently, and to argue cogently. As important as the questions are, so is the process of learning to answer them. Philosophy is the ultimate 'transferable work skill.'

"The project formed part of the work we have been doing on Social Injustice, which amongst other things, looks at the role religion plays in fighting against injustice. We look at Marx's critique of religion as "the opium of the masses" and counter this by looking at the Liberation Theology movement in South America. The idea of this mini-project was to get the girls to think of a way of raising awareness in the school of issues surrounding social injustice. They could choose which issue, so we had a variety from gay rights to forced marriage. They could also choose how they wanted to present it - a song, a poster, an "info-mercial" etc."
Evie, Theo and Georgia from 9W
"RPE is more than just a subject; it's become a way of life. The skills that we are learning in these fun-filled lessons are helping us get to understand some of the most interesting and challenging questions. We spend our lessons discussing everything from whether the universe has a beginning to whether evil is an illusion and if a war can ever truly be morally justified. RPE is preparing us not just for exams or university but for much more." Orla and Abby

End of Canadian penny re-sparks debate in U.S.
The Canadian penny has officially ceased circulating in the nation to the north. That move has rekindled a debate domestically that has been going on for decades.
So long Canadian penny
Do you hate it when your get change back at the checkout counter and later find out that you had been handed some Canadian pennies? Well, that annoyance will soon be a thing of the past. The copper alloy coins were officially taken out of distribution by the Royal Canadian Mint on Tuesday, Feb. 5.
The last penny itself was actually minted last May. The Canadian penny had been in circulation for more than a century and a half. From now on, all cash transactions will be rounded up or down to the nearest five cents.
Doesn't make enough cents
The reason for that is because the rising cost of metals has made pennies more expensive to produce than their one cent face value.
A press release Tuesday states, "The decision to phase out the penny was due to its excessive and rising cost of production relative to face value, the increased accumulation of pennies by Canadians in their households, environmental considerations, and the significant handling costs the penny imposes on retailers, financial institutions and the economy in general."
A Canadian coin costs 1.6 cents to make. By eliminating the coin, Canada can save $11 million per year, according to The Royal Canadian Mint.
Canada is only the latest country to make the move. Australia, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, Netherlands and Sweden have also phased out their smallest-denomination coins.
U.S. debaters throw in their two cents
Meanwhile, south of the border, the news has re-sparked the debate over whether or not to phase out the U.S. penny. Domestically, we are losing much more by keeping the penny than are our neighbors to the north. A U.S. penny now costs a whopping 2.41 cents to make. According to RetireThePenny.org, U.S. taxpayers lost about $70 million in 2011 to the Lincoln-faced coin.
Those who support keeping the U.S. penny argue that prices will go up, with everything rounded to the nearest five cents. However, others counter, the rounding would be either up or down, depending on the nearest multiple of five, effectively canceling out any price fluctuation.
Penny advocates also say that pennies have a vital use for charity penny drives, and that perhaps fewer people would be willing to contribute to a "nickle drive." But then, since nickels have 500 percent of the value of pennies, they don't need to.
However, a recent poll found that two-thirds of Americans favor keeping the penny.
Legislative attempts fizzle
Congress has considered eliminating the U.S. penny in 1990, 2001 and 2006. None of the bills gained enough approval to pass.
Last April, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology looked into the impact of discontinuing the circulation of the penny.

Musings of the Day: Take It and Make It Better, Drugstore Cosmetics
I know alot of you enjoy drugstore brands (within the US that is) but I haven't really been on board with them myself. I haven't caught drugstore fever since I was in high school and rarely do I buy much makeup in drugstores. Up until I started my blog I rarely even ventured into a drugstore to buy much of anything. Well, times have changed since many requests come in daily for cheaper makeup options so I head to various drugstores to see if I can find decent makeup items.
Today, I have a Cheap Beauty Challenge post that's upcoming in a few. As I was typing it out last week I realized something that could get me excited about drugstore cosmetics. This in turn gave me my idea for today's Musings of the Day.
If you're not a fan of drugstore cosmetics or you like them but wish they were a bit better this question should appeal.
How would you make drugstore cosmetics better?
What would make you want to buy more from your local drugstores?
Packaging? Pigmentation? Price?
Think about your answer and reply below!
Click for my reply!
I thought about this and as much as I wanted to say PACKAGING! I realized one thing that would be even better than packaging would be online advertisement. When you walk into a drugstore it's rather nifty that they have various displays with new collections however have you ever noticed you can't find ANY info about these releases on the brands websites? Take for example the Maybelline Focus on Gold Collection (I'm reviewing this in the Cheap Challenge). I can't find a word about it anywhere on the Maybelline site.
How great would it be if all these little collections they release would have better online push. Maybe e-mail alerts? Or a website for the collections? Something that allows us to know that the releases are out. Most time collection releases are rarely pimped out online. I read someone mention that the Diana Keaton Collection was never on the L'Oreal site and when they called L'Oreal even the company didn't know about it.
I think, possibly, US drugstore brands would be more appealing if I could get more info about releases and what was released with the collection, etc….at this point it's more of a "surprise!" whenever you walk into the drugstore.
Packaging definitely would help too but online advertisement would be even better.
What do you think?
Tell the Muse!
12/14/09 23:33 Sarah:
I agree! more push online and pictures would do drugstore brands a lot more better.
For me, I would say quality, but then I don't think they would be drugstore brands and cheapter than more expensive brands if they did. Colour would be a good start, as a lot of drugstore brands get the middle skin tone right, but don't seem to get extremely pale or extremely dark worked out.
12/15/09 20:13 Sarah:
I love looking forward to collections, like i'm always googling 'dior spring 2010' etc just to look at what pretty offerings they have on for the season. If this could happen for brands like Rimmel, L'oreal etc it would be great, except they seem to release things at extremely odd times, and it always seems to be scattered around different stores across the UK.
thats my rant over though! 😛 x
2/17/10 18:10 Kendra:
For me, I'd have to say color selection and price. Why do they think that everyone who goes shopping for drugstore makeup is beige? I'm personally fairly pale, and it can be hard to find a match that actually works well for me.
As for price, I'm Canadian, so everything they sell here is ballooned in price, so I'd rather just go to Sephora and by an Urban Decay pallete than a few CG eyeshadows, even if my boyfriend doesn't see the logic in it. XD

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
-- Serves grades 4-7
-- Accepts students who live in Gwinnett County Public Schools attendance zones
-- Registration dates: Feb. 1-28
-- Informational meeting: 7 p.m., Dec. 6 at 2595 Beaver Ruin Road, Building F, Norcross
-- More info: www.gwinnettonlinecampus.com.
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Running a business takes commitment.
Just ask Ryan O'Neill, a Lawrenceville resident who heads up a local company that sells wine-based jellies, jams and sauces.
The stresses of entrepreneurship really build up, O'Neill said, especially when you throw middle-school mathematics into the mix. The 12-year-old Gwinnett County resident has found a way to keep his business thriving while obtaining a public education.
Since 2010, the young businessman has marketed and sold wine-based spreads at festivals and online. What started as an idea became a profitable endeavor in a matter of months. The traditional classroom schedule, however, kept him from giving the business -- Saucy -- all his attention.
"Doing my (classwork) online ... it's helped me be able to balance everything," said O'Neill, while sitting at the dinner table, his base of operations for reading, writing, arithmetic and commerce, on a recent afternoon.
He's not alone.
Hundreds of students in Gwinnett County Public Schools have chosen to enroll in Gwinnett Online Campus, a new district charter school that gives students in grades 4-12 the flexibility they may seek or need. Whether it's scheduling conflicts or physical limitations affecting students, the school helps pupils meet the requirements they need to earn a high school diploma.
While the school only recently received its full-time charter status, it has been around for 13 years as a supplemental program for students in the district who need it. Recent informational sessions last week helped explain the advantages of the program to parents and prospective students.
Another session is scheduled for Dec. 6 at the school's headquarters: 2595 Beaver Ruin Road, Building F, Norcross. While the courses are taken mostly at home, the Norcross location serves as a central point for teachers to record and teach online courses and a gathering place once a week for students.
"A traditional, brick-and-mortar school works, but that setting doesn't quite work for all kids," said Jennifer Littig, a high school language arts teacher at Gwinnett Online Campus. "A lot of students have struggled to find their niche in the traditional school setting, and this is the place where they can finally thrive."
The school has 39 full-time staff members and 159 full-time students enrolled. While much of their classwork is done at home or on the road, students in the online school still have deadlines, class discussions and tests, which follow the district's Academic Knowledge and Skills curriculum, including state performance standards.
The difference is digital, said middle grades language arts teacher Dan Lollis.
"Kids carry iPhones and computers with them everywhere they go," Lollis said. "It used to be that you would come to school and all that stuff would go away. At the online campus kids participate in the ways they'd participate in the real world."
While a majority of coursework is digital, students are encouraged to attend face-to-face class sessions on a weekly basis. All students also attend testing on campus throughout the year.
Being able to hold class pretty much anywhere means field trips are easier to come by.
"We have the option to do a lot of things outside the classroom," Lollis said. "In a traditional brick-and-mortar school you're kind of limited to the classroom, the media center or the gym, but we're able to visit a variety of places like (recently) the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage center and Oakland Cemetery."
The irony of teaching students in an online classroom, Lollis said, is that he gets to know them even better than he might in a traditional setting.
"I've taught in traditional schools before, and I actually feel closer to my students here," Lollis said. "In a traditional school I would see students every day, multiple times. But because of the community we've created here at Gwinnett Online Campus, the students, teachers and parents are much closer. It feels like a team."
Principal Christopher Ray wants people to forget the notion of a single, isolated student doing classwork in their basement at home.
"Some online schools don't have the sense of community that we have," Ray said. "I hire the best staff I can find, and they create that sense of community that's right behind all of our technology."
Littig said the traditional community experience is something most students want, but not all of them are physically able to attend a traditional school.
"I have students with physical disabilities, and lasting an entire day in the classroom was just physically hard for them and not practical," Littig said. "They couldn't focus on what they were learning because it was hard just to get up three flights of stairs, so now those students are able to pursue their passions without being weighed down by the disabilities."
Added Littig: "Those students can really find a place to thrive, and that's rewarding as a teacher."
For students who don't have a disability, like O'Neill, attending Gwinnett Online Campus just makes sense.
The young entrepreneur is a self-taught expert on the jelly-making process, but said he never would have gotten as far as he has without the educational flexibility he's attained through Gwinnett Onlince Campus.
"I'm able to connect with my teachers even though I'm not there. I can stay on task, but at my own pace," O'Neill said. "I can work on making and marketing my (jellies and sauces) throughout the day, but still have time to knock out all my math classwork."

Thank you for writing about my school and my business (http://saucyspirits.com/)!
tiffanywong 2 years, 10 months ago
Thank you SO much to Frank Reddy for coming out and talking to Ryan (my son) about his school, and including his artisan spread business in the article. He's excited to be on the front page of the paper! (You can also find his business online at www.saucyspirits.com) We love GOC and the flexibility they offer, and the teachers are all wonderful!
tiffanywong 2 years, 10 months ago
Haha! I see he beat me to the punch!
DTriemer 2 years, 10 months ago
As the science teacher for GOC Middle School, and one of Ryan's teachers, I was thrilled to see this article. Ryan is an exceptional fit for our school. He is very focused and driven to succeed (as you probably can tell since he is a 12 year old business owner!). He understands that on-line school is not less work than a regular "brick and mortar" school, but it does afford a great deal of flexiblity in how the students schedule their day. It is a great choice for students who are self-motivated and have a need to set their own schedules due to a business, sports, dance, or just family commitments.
As stated in the article, we are accepting applications and encourage middle school and high school students who need a more flexible - but just as rigorous - curriculum to check out our full-time programs.
Nannyfaye 2 years, 9 months ago
Hey, Ryan, I am Mr. Dan Lollis's Grandmother. I was at his house Thanksgiving and ate some of your delicious sauces? What do YOU call them? How in the world did you start doing this? You must be a very smart young man! I know your Mom is proud of you! I live in Clinton, S.C., a small town between Greenville and Columbia. I am about three hours away and I go sometimes to visit my daughter (Dan's Mother) in Roswell, Ga. I always go on Thanksgiving. I just wanted to say hello and wish you the best of luck with your business and also say, Merry Christmas! Faye Simmons

In Fremont, CA, there is a highschool called Irvington. Here, students are required to pass 3 benchmark projects to be able to graduate. The most gruesome of all is Quest, the senior benchmark. This sinister and hated project has been coined as a new campus curse word as of the year 2012, an alternative/substitute for the word "fuck". Any non-seniors who use this word gets Quested up.

If your teacher is being really annoying and can't decided to torture you with a test or a quiz, he/she makes a quest. it's too long to be considered a quiz, but too short to be considered a test. It's a mixture or the words test and quiz.

ISKCON Founder Acarya
ISKCON's founder Acarya (leader) is His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada who appeared in 1896 in Calcutta, India.
He first met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami, in Calcutta in 1922.
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, a prominent devotional scholar and the founder of sixty-four branches of Gaudiya Mathas (Vedic institutes), liked this educated young man and convinced him to dedicate his life to teaching Vedic knowledge in the Western world.
Srila Prabhupada became his student, and eleven years later (1933) at Allahabad, he became his formally initiated disciple.
Srila Prabhupada left us a veritable library of Vedic philosophy and culture. Highly respected by scholars for their authority, depth, and clarity, his books are used at colleges and universities around the world.
The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust publishes his works in over 50 languages.
The following institutions provide educational opportunities for people of all ages interested in systematically studying the philosophy of Krishna consciousness. Some offer degrees.

ABSTRACT: The effect of divorce on children is described from the perspective of crisis theory,attempting to link the nature of the interventions to the specific impact of this stressor. Incidence and prevalence rates are cited illustrating the extent of their influence on the school-aged population, and consequently, on the schools themselves.Characteristics which place children at risk for developing problems are reviewed along with factors which mediate good post-divorce adjustment. Age-specific reactions associated with responses to divorce are enumerated. Individual and group interventions are discussed in regard to how services are designed and evaluated. The need for comprehensive school-based programs is examined.

St. Lucie West Services District's drainage pipe acquisition should enhance flood recovery efforts
ST. LUCIE WEST — If portions of St. Lucie West experience heavy flooding this hurricane season, some communities are expected to recover faster than usual thanks to the services district's decision to acquire all stormwater pipes in its boundaries, district officials said.
The St. Lucie West Services District Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Tuesday to acquire all major drainage pipes inside local subdivisions and within commercial and industrial areas, which previously did not belong to the district. The pipes, which run from street to drainage lakes and put in by developers or landowners, were often the responsibility of each homeowners and property associations.
Board Supervisor Gregg Ney said before and after a storm it was up to the subdivisions to maintain, repair or replace the pipes, which often came at a hefty price. That cost would then be assessed on a resident's association fees.
Now during heavy rainstorms, the fate of much of St. Lucie West will be in the hands of the district, said District Manager Dennis Pickle. And, he said the district is equipped to take on the task.
"It made the most sense from our standpoint, seeing as we are in the business, for us to be able to maintain the pipes at a better rate than if the HOAs had to go out and contract it out," Pickle said. "We think the long-term impact will be better services to the citizens."
Pickle said the district will repair and clean all the newly acquired pipes, as well as all the pipes they currently maintain, on a rotating schedule for the next four to five years.
Bob Lawson, an engineering consultant for the district, said with the acquisition, which will more than double the district's current obligation, it'll help minimize the impact of a high level storm on a pre-storm basis. On a post-storm basis, he said the district will be able to discharge water quicker with the proposed improvements.
However, Lawson and Pickle point out the improvements won't make St. Lucie West completely immune to flooding.
Pickle said the stormwater system is designed during heavy rains to flood the swales, up to the road and residential garages.
"It will get to that degree, it's just that now (rain) will recede quicker," Pickle said.
The cost of the improvements is estimated at $450,000 over the next two fiscal years, and will be reflected this November by a $7 increase over the next five years on a customer's property tax bill. The typical bill would increase from $106 per district residential unit to $113.
The assessment increase is locked in temporarily and could only decrease when the district's final budget is adopted Sept. 4.
Pickle said after the bid contract process is completed, any construction or repairs should begin in October.
Ney, president of the Country Club Estates homeowners association, said two years ago a group of association presidents reached out to the district board to acquire the pipes because of concerns of flooding and maintenance. The plea was spurred, Ney said, with the realization that it would cost some communities tens of thousands of dollars to make any stormwater improvements.
With the district now being responsible for all the pipes, Ney said it rids homeowners associations of the financial burden of maintaining drainage pipes and gives resident's adequate drainage service at a lower cost. More than 12 homeowners associations will be affected.
"Some of our HOA and POAs (property owners associations) are struggling financially right now and we don't want them to be in the situation where they're not maintaining the infrastructure," Ney said. "This way we're sure the infrastructure will be maintained throughout our community. It's all interconnected. We want to make sure all the dominoes are still standing."
Ney said after living in St. Lucie West through the flooding brought by hurricanes Jeanne, Frances and Tropical Storm Fay, he's glad to see the district is taking a proactive approach in maintaining the quality of the drainage infrastructure by eliminating confusion as to whose pipes belong to who in times of emergencies.
"This is really a public safety issue in many ways," Ney said.
Pickle said it took a year for staff to inspect the pipes and determine if all residents within St. Lucie West would benefit from the district taking over the pipes.
"It's beneficial to all the associations no matter how large it is or how small it is," Pickle said. "It was a benefit equal to all the taxpayers."
The district, established in 1989, currently has 6,817 water and sewer customers and services more than 10,000 properties. Its service area covers more than 4,500 acres from east of Interstate 95 to Florida's Turnpike to the northern boundary of the C-108 canal south to the Crosstown Parkway.

Unlike "normal" water coolers, closed-loop liquid coolers, also known as all-in-one liquid coolers, are just like air coolers only made of different parts and, obviously, equipped with a coolant that courses through the pumps and radiator.
Cooler Master has more than a few on sale, and the newest one is called Seidon 120M.
Equipped with a 120mm aluminum radiator, it has a Rifle bearing fan of similar size (600 to 2,400 RPM, 40 dBA sound) and a waterblock made of a single block of copper.
Furthermore, Cooler Master made sure to ensure compatibility with not just Intel LGA 2011, 1366, 1156, 1155 and 775 CPUs, but also FM1, AM3, AM2 and AM3+ central processing units from Advanced Micro Devices.
Customers will have to part with 54.99 Euro / $54.99 – 71.39.

Business services were the second-largest source of employment growth in Minnesota over the last decade.
The information from the Minnesota Center for Fiscal Excellence provides one more compelling reason lawmakers should reconsider Gov. Mark Dayton's proposal to tax legal services, advertising, accounting and other such basic business functions.
The center's executive director, Mark Haveman, told us the proposal has significantly mobilized the business community, for whom it would be "hugely expensive."
Discussion in the two weeks since the governor's budget proposal has been intense.
And useful, too. Having specific proposals to study "peels back the talking points and results in having good analysis and evidence rise to the surface," Haveman said.
Mention of sales tax increases was noticeably absent from the Gov. Mark Dayton's State of the State address last week. But "it would be a mistake to read too much into it," said Charlie Weaver, executive director of the Minnesota Business Partnership, which includes the CEOs of Minnesota's largest companies.
The speech reflects "no change in the governor's approach to sales taxes," said Dayton spokeswoman Katie Tinucci. "As he laid out in the speech, we are open to hearing good ideas for 'Plan C' but until then, we are pushing for 'Plan A,' " his initial proposal.
"Plan B is to stick with our current tax structure, or something close to it," Dayton said in his speech. "Plan C is something better. No one would be happier than me to see a good Plan C.
The conversation continues. Dayton met last week with Business Partnership members in what Weaver described as a "very frank and productive meeting."
"We're hopeful our message is getting through" -- that the business-to-business sales tax will cost Minnesota jobs and put Minnesota companies at a disadvantage when they compete across the country and across the world, Weaver said.
Competitiveness has many facets, no doubt, not limited to tax regimes. The quality of the workforce matters, as does the value of the public services rendered and many other things.
But taxes have consequences, and, in a highly competitive economy, we should be especially wary of taxes that give businesses good reason to outsource or expand elsewhere or outright leave.
Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans told us that as the governor continues his conversation with Minnesotans, he remains concerned about the need to spread the state's tax base more broadly to provide relief for the middle class and workers.
New revenue will fund "investments in job training, health care and education that will be valuable for job growth," Frans said.
That may be, but new revenue and those things come with tradeoffs. Increasingly, it looks as if the tradeoff for business-to-business taxation will be less business.

The Artof Tailoring
There is nothing like a perfectly tailored garment. Even the best fabrics and materials cannot compensate for an ill fitting pantsuit, skirt, blouse, or sweater. A good fit is essential to any look. In addition to high-quality, glamorous textures, the cut is therefore the primary factor for BOSS Womenswear.
It is called the art of tailoring for a reason. Using fine materials to create a look truly is an art. The objective is to use the lines of perfect shapes, pleats, and drapings to create harmony and flatter the female silhouette. This is particularly true for the current fashion season: The focus is much more on shape than on color. Gathers, waistlines, pleats, and tucks are created with an artistic approach, resulting in cuts which are only molded into their final shape by the body inside. The garments are understated and unconventional at the same time. Silhouette and perfected tailoring form a symbiosis while suitable fine fabrics help to achieve a flawless finish: not too loud or too playful, yet still glamorous.

One of the best ways to argue with a leftist is to make them recognize that the government is a consumer, it is the largest spender in the known universe; and, this particular point can be difficult to convey, that government is the biggest source of waste. Being that environmentalism is usually attributed to the left, arguing that smaller is better, particularly in regards to state power, can cause apoplexy, which is such joy to witness.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - An armed carjacking forced the closure of a stretch of northbound Interstate 95 in Volusia County on Wednesday after a shootout led to the death of the alleged culprit.
Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies requested the closure at mile marker 256, near Port Orange. One lane was reopened by 1:30 p.m.
The robbery took place at the Heritage Inn in Daytona Beach. Authorities were looking for the culprit, who was believed to be driving on the interstate, and a chase ensued.
Authorities said the suspect, identified as 22-year-old Luke Castello, was driving a mini van that crashed into a tree. Shots were fired and Port Orange Police Department officers opened fire on Castello. He was killed.
The carjacking victim was not injured, officials said.
The Sheriff's Office and police departments from Daytona Beach and Port Orange were involved in the investigation.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents were called to look into the police-involved confrontation.

NFL notes: Giants sign CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
The New York Giants secondary has gotten a lot stronger in the past couple of days.
A year after missing the playoffs for the second straight season, the Giants continued to be a player in free agency, signing cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, formerly with Denver.
Terms of the contract were not immediately available.
The deal comes just a day after the Giants confirmed the signing of former Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond and Chiefs safety Quintin Demps.
"The main thing, bringing in guys from Kansas City, Seattle, you can see what they're doing, trying to bring guys that are going to come in and lead by example," said Rodgers-Cromartie, who started in the Super Bowl along with Thurmond. "That's always a plus."
A 2008 first round-draft choice and 2009 Pro Bowler, Rodgers-Cromartie is entering his seventh NFL season. He has also been with Arizona and Philadelphia, playing with safety Antrel Rolle while with the Cardinals.
Rodgers-Cromartie has played in 92 regular-season games with 75 starts and has started all nine postseason games in which he played. His career totals include 239 tackles (205 solo) and 19 interceptions. He joined the Broncos last season as a free agent and played in 15 regular-season games with 13 starts at right cornerback.
Around the league
Cowboys • Dallas added free-agent Brandon Weeden on a two-year contract Monday even though the Cowboys expect Kyle Orton to return behind Tony Romo next season. Weeden, a first-round pick by Cleveland in 2012, was released by the Browns last week.
Raiders • Oakland agreed to a three-year deal with former Green Bay receiver James Jones, who had 59 catches for a career-high 817 yards and three touchdowns last season.
Colts • Owner Jim Irsay was released from jail Monday in Indianapolis after being held overnight following a traffic stop in which police said he failed sobriety tests and had multiple prescription drugs inside his vehicle.

Dr. Shawn Amyot's Ratings
Dr Amyot is great! Very knowledgable, and when he's unsure he will refer to a specialist. One thing to note, Dr Amyot works for a private clinic. The clinic (ExecHealth) is quite expensive, and until recently it was well worth it. However, it seems that they may have taken on too many clients lately. Booking an appointment is still quicker than a public doctor, however not by much. The staff used to be very nice, though lately they all seem a little more stressed out and sometimes rude. That being said, it's not worth paying to go to this private clinic.

I am highly impressed with Dr. Shawn Amyot medical care. I find him very smart, respectful, caring and highly knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain all treatment and tests; he advocates for his patient. The registered nurse and office staff are fantastic people. I highly recommend their service. I consider myself very lucky to have Dr. Amyot as my physician.

Yglesias observes:
Romney has quietly managed to skate through this whole campaign while hewing to a much more moderate line on taxes than his rivals. Now moderation is a relative concept. Romney wants to extend all the current Bush tax cuts, which on its own terms implies major long-term cutbacks to federal retirement programs, and would add to that a pretty expensive proposal to eliminate capital gains taxes for everyone earning less than $200,000. But there's tons of daylight between Romney and Perry/Gingrich on this front. Under the circumstances it's strange that the candidates have spent much more time engaged in hair-splitting disagreements about immigration than they have on taxes.

Comments about IK Multimedia Total Studio 3 Software Instruments and Effects Bundle:
This is a fantastic plugin suite, but suffers from a few installation quirks on OS X. When installing the instrument libraries for all the softsynths on Mac computers, the automated installation will install the instruments in the wrong folders! This can make getting all the plugins up and running smoothly a huge hassle, especially considering it can take a couple hours to install everything. Luckily this issue is easily circumvented by simply manually designating the installation folders.
As for the sound of these plugins, I am quite impressed. The softsynths are all extremely versatile, sample-based, synths with a HUGE range of sounds. Amplitube and TS-Rack are both very cool modelling plugins that emulate the sound of classic amps and outboard gear very nicely. Overall, I think this is a great bundle that would be an asset to any professional or home studio. Just make sure manually designate the installation folders on OS X.

LUTZ, Florida -- The surveillance video was chilling.A shooting in the parking lot of the Lutz Walmart.Bill Landry was the man walking nearby and watched as it went down. When he went home to his wife, Brenda, and she saw his face, she knew something was wrong.
"He was all wound up. He was very emotional when he told me what happened," said Brenda Landry.
Bill thought the gun was real, and froze in his tracks saying, "I saw him walking in front of me and he just fired.He shot one clip, then reloaded with a second clip.I just backed away.I didn't know what to think."
Related Story:Student shot in possible hate crime speaks out
Landry said people have been asking why he didn't do anything or try to intervene, and 10 News asked him that, too.
"People have been asking me that. I tell them I don't know why I didn't do anything. I didn't know what to think. I just froze," he said.
And that was just fine with Brenda. The Landrys are a quiet, sentimental couple who showed us their antique Christmas tree.They both hold memories of family very close to their hearts, and Brenda counts her blessings.
The only anger the couple has is for the racist attitude of the gunman.They call themselves Americans, and say this country isn't about that in 2013.
"I was raised in a prejudice family. I just didn't come out that way," said Landry.

Total length of stay in England in a year
How long, cumulative, can a US citizen stay in England over any given year? How is the year measured-calendar, from the time of first entry, etc?
How long, cumulative, can a US citizen stay in England over any given year? How is the year measured-calendar, from the time of first entry, etc?
In general answer is that you can stay for up to six months without getting a visa. I'm not sure what their rules are about cumulative time but the time doesn't matter for the calendar year, I don't think. So you couldn't come for the last 6 months of one year and the first 6 of the next because that would be a whole year. There are also many pointed warnings that if you come to the country with an exit date 6 months away you will effectively have to prove you have enough money to support yourself during that time. And if you can't - to their satisfaction - they will turn you away at the border and send you back home. I think the bottom line is that if you think you have need more than 6 months out of the year look into the process of applying for a visa. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/countries/usa/?langname=UK%20English Hope that helps,
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/visiting/ "If you come to the UK as a visitor, you are normally allowed to stay here for a maximum of 6 months." Sorry, it has no information on how the length of time is measured. I know in the Schengen zone it starts with the day of arrival. There, also, one can leave the Schengen zone and it does not count against the 90 day limit for visiting there. It is, however, best to keep documents of departure (a ticket of exit and re-entrance). The US Dept of State (responsible for passports, etc) doesn't have specific information on UK immigration laws specific to US citizens, they refer to the above noted website.
I'd suggest you find the closest UK consulate (or such) and ask them the question, if you don't get a good (more specific) reply here.
Six months is the maximum period on one entry as a general visitor and cannot be extended. There is no formal equivalent to the Schengen '90 days in 180 days' concept. However, the following appears in the immigration rules that the immigration officer at the border has to consider at each entry attempt whether an individual: "Does not intend to live for extended periods in the United Kingdom through frequent or successive visits" This is often interpreted as more than any six months out of twelve needs some specific justification, but does not mean necessarily refusal.

New technical director for Missouri Thorns FC/ FC Missouri
Matt Caution, a St. Charles native, has returned to the area to...
"Participating in SLYSA was driven by a number of factors. For our U13 and older teams, it offers more diverse competition which will help their development. It is also good for the overall community to have a strong regional league."
Steve Ole Olson of SoccerSTL.net talked with several members of the SLSG Coaching staff recently for SLYSA to learn more about their Player Development model and SLYSA's role in their efforts. There is an audio interview you can find below with Pat Barry, Steve Pecher and Scott McDoniel. He also talked to Kevin Kalish and Dale Schilly separately. He's pulled their responses together in the story below.
Club Name: St. Louis Scott Gallagher SC
Geographic Area served: Metro
Age Groups served: 5-18
Tell me about your Club
Our mission is to build the best club in the country. A club that positively impacts the development of our players on and off the field and positively impacts our community.
How is the Club approaching player development?
Through our curriculum, developed over many years now with continued investment by the ECNL and Academy staff. We focus on providing the foundation our players need to develop over their career with SLSG and in the game.
How do you measure the development?
We look at their technical progress, the ability to compete against appropriate levels and their upward mobility as they move through our system.
What role does competition have?
Appropriate competition is critical to the development process. The key is maintaining a proper balance. As a Club we want a winning mentality across all ages but the focus early is on process and playing with the right style. When players and coaches cut corners, it cuts development short which will limit the long-term success.
What role does SLYSA play in achieving your Club goals?
Participating in SLYSA was driven by a number of factors. For our U13 and older teams, it offers more diverse competition which will help their development. It is also good for the overall community to have a strong regional league. If we've done our job properly, we'll be prepared to compete and help the Club succeed regionally as well. SLYSA is benefitting from strong leadership and good direction. That's led to better facilities and better opportunity for all of us.
What other organizations is the Club involved with?
Our teams have the opportunity to play in the National Premier League (US Club Soccer) and for our premier teams, the Academy (boys) and ECNL (girls) are our most competitive teams.
What role do the other organizations play in achieving Club goals?
Let's focus on the Academy. The US Soccer Development Academy plays an integral role in our Club overall. The US National team offers direct guidance and direction and the methodologies used there filter down to all of our teams, both boys and girls.
As Tony Lepore noted at a recent Academy event, there is no other league in the world like the USSDA. The key difference is the direct connection and guidance tying the National team to every Club in the Academy. You don't find that anywhere else in the world.
The Academy offers Regionalized competition that progresses to the National playoffs that SLSG has been represented at the past two years. For our coaches, its access to the national staff. The last Showcase event included Jurgen Klinsmann as well as Tab Ramos and Richie Williams. We are also evaluated on a quarterly basis along with every other club. There are two 4 star clubs in the country at the moment, FC Dallas and New York Red Bulls. SLSG Missouri finished with 3.5 stars and we are pushing to take that higher.
A final note on the Academy, competition and winning. The U13-U14 Academy program began this year and the top team in the country will be rewarded with a trip to the 2014 Manchester United Premier Cup World Finals. That top team will NOT be chosen based upon a win-loss record. From the press release announcing the opportunity
"Our U.S. Soccer Technical Advisors will make a holistic evaluation to determine the top club based on Academy criteria and ratings we have compiled," said U.S. Soccer Development Academy Director of Scouting Tony Lepore. "We think this is a great way to reward a competitive Academy club that is playing the game the right way."

Hi All,
So you ask I am answering.
My third wish is PIC Simulator that display chosen PIC, Registry, RAM, EEPROM.
By using option Step programming that allows to write in HEX file binary codes of
manually actions such as changing bits in Registry Bank0-?, PC, RAM, EEPROM.
It is other way to recreate program by working with binary codes and micro-controller architecture.
Just like writing program for BIOS in sunny1970th. .
Slow to make a program but making program working fast using all inner resources.
My Best to All.

Garlic and Fish Oil. Mentioned it to my doctor and he's fine with it. Both are supposed to be of some help to cardiovascular health.
I'd probably run most anything you want to do by your doctor first.

I've had some good results with echinacea to help with immunity when sick, but haven't done it for a while.
Tried Ginko biloba, but it actually thins the blood I believe, and you need to take it a while for effect, so I personally don't recommend it.
Tried siberian ginseng a while back and don't think it hurt, but not sure if it helped.
Definitely sold on B-Complex vitamins for stress though.
Fish oil and a multivitamin (costco one-a-day knockoff).
Fish oil is alleged to have a whole bunch of positive health benefits, and really no major side effects in healthy people.
Multivitamin is just a "catch all" in case I don't get everything I need from my diet alone (which is really what the fish oil is too...).
"Homemade beer, after all, is like a democracy. Every so often, youre gonna hate what comes out of it. But when its good, its the best." - woot.com
I take lots of supplements, but since I'm a chick and they are for 'chick stuff' I won't bother you with it all...
But, we're planning an international vacation in a couple months so we just starting taking Epicore to boost our immunity systems for the duration. (We don't want to touch down in Ireland and spend half the trip sick as a dog.) It was discovered at Diamond V in Des Moines, and was featured a few weeks ago in the Des Moines Register.
We found it at a HyVee. It's a bit pricey, but if you compare it with the cost of this once-in-a-lifetime vacation, it's cheap.

The full Mandate of the Committee can be downloaded from the right hand side of this page.
Following independent review commissioned by the Committee or others, it will question those accountable through a hearing process in order to produce its findings and recommendations. The Committee will also carry out its own research and follow up reviews.

In addition, the Committee will consider the business of the States of Deliberation, raise any matters of concern in respect of finance, governance, internal controls, procedures, project and risk management et al and liaise with other scrutiny bodies.
In order to provide greater independence and objectiveness for the Committee, it has a membership comprising a Chairman and four other States members and four voting non States members, all voted for by the States of Deliberation.

Sore breasts are a common symptom of PMS and while a major source of discomfort in an already unpleasant time of the month, sore breasts due to PMS are not a cause for concern. Excess levels of prolactin (a hormone responsible for breast development and milk production during pregnancy) during the premenstrual phase are most likely responsible for the all too common sore breast phenomena. Prolactin triggers inflammation and swelling of the breast tissue ducts.
Swollen or sore breasts during PMS may also result from the increased fluid retention common just prior to menstruation. Just as fingers and feet swell as a result, so can breasts. Increased fluid retention forces the breast tissues to expand, which stretches the nerves and makes breasts feel sore, achy or tender. During PMS, the negative influence of estrogen and progesterone on beta-endorphin levels, the body's natural painkillers, is such that the body is more sensitive to any pain or discomfort, so even slightly swollen or sore breasts can feel much more tender and uncomfortable at this time.
Relief for sore breasts during PMS with over the counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen helps with the pain and also reduces some swelling or fluid retention in the breasts. Wearing a supportive bra for this period will definitely help, as will sleeping on your back or side rather than your stomach! Another means to alleviate symptoms of sore or tender breasts during PMS is to cut down on salty foods and caffeine. This minimizes fluid retention and the consequent increase in pressure on the breast tissue. Evening primrose oil (a source of gamma linoleic acids and vitamin E) is another tried and tested remedy for the relief of sore breasts during PMS.

News Release Archives
Office of University Communications & MarketingDr. Peter M. GigliottiExecutive director Old Main 302(717) email@example.com
soon-to-be published book by a Shippensburg University faculty member details
the life of Mira Lloyd Dock of Harrisburg who was a Progressive Era reformer, a
college-educated botanist and the first woman to serve on the Pennsylvania
State Forestry Commission.
The book,
to be published in December, is written by Dr. Susan Rimby, a professor of
history/philosophy who is serving as interim associate dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences at Shippensburg.
Rimby is
the first author to write about the life and work of Dock. Her book, Mira Lloyd Dock and the Progressive Era
Conservation Movement, will be published by Penn State University Press.
"She fought
hard for conservation, municipal clean-up and women's rights throughout her
lifetime," said Rimby. "She wove these causes together through her work with
both the forestry commission and women's clubs affiliated with the General
Federation of Women's Clubs."
Dock, who lived from 1853 to 1945, was a
contemporary and colleague of Gifford Pinchot, U.S. chief forester and later governor
of Pennsylvania, and Joseph Trimble Rothrock, Pennsylvania's first forest commissioner.
to Rimby, "The book shows the ways in which committed citizenry, both concerned
women and politically powerful men, joined forces to preserve and conserve
forests and watersheds, improve the quality of urban life, and secure equitable
educational, professional and political rights for women."
Rimby will talk
about her book as keynote speaker for the Midtown Scholar's Annual Book
Festival. That presentation is 7 p.m. Nov. 19 at the Midtown Scholar bookstore at
1302 North 3rd Street in Harrisburg.
bookstore is in the center of the city where Dock lived and engaged in her professional
and volunteer work," Rimby said. "The Midtown Scholar's owners do a great job
of engaging Harrisburg and Southcentral Pennsylvania citizens in discussing the
issues of the day. As such, it's a worthy successor to the organizations
founded and promoted by Dock."
