Alexander Carr-Saunders
Sir Alexander Morris Carr-Saunders, KBE, FBA (1886–1966) was an English biologist and sociologist.
Carr-Saunders was born in Reigate, Surrey,[1] and educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he gained a 1st in zoology in 1908. He remained a year at Oxford as a demonstrator in comparative anatomy but left in 1910 to University College London where he studied biometrics under Karl Pearson. Deciding against natural science, he instead read for the Bar of the Inner Temple.[2]
Concerned about all kinds of social ills and problems, he saw a solution in Eugenics for the engineering of society into a better condition. He became the secretary of the Eugenics Education Society and lived at Toynbee Hall.
When World War I broke in 1914, he attempted to obtain a commission in the London Scottish Regiment, but was instead commissioned into the Royal Army Service Corps and was posted to a ration depot at Suez, due to the high standard of his French.
After the Armistice he returned to the Oxford Zoology department, taking an interest in ecological issues, especially population and overpopulation. He participated in one of the firsts Oxford Expeditions to Spitsbergen in the Arctic in 1921 as main scientists, together with Julian Huxley. During the expedition he distilled his early ideas on population dynamics and summarized them in a book called The Population Problem. The book used a neo-Malthusian argument plus Galton's eugenics as the theoretical framework for a quantitative analysis of population dynamics. The population problem arose -according to Carr-Saunders analysis- from the fact of having high reproductive rates among primitive people with low mental and physical qualities. Over-population of these lower races endangered the standard of living of races bearing higher qualities. Unlike Malthus, he thought that industrial productivity and not food was the main limiting factor in human populations.
The success of his magnum opus The Population Problem resulted in his appointment to the Charles Booth Chair of Social Science at the University of Liverpool in 1923. In 1937, he was appointed to succeed Sir William Beveridge as Director of the London School of Economics, and held that post until his retirement in 1955. He served on the Royal Commission on Population, in 1944–1949.
Carr-Saunders was one of the mentors of the animal ecologist Charles Elton, greatly influencing Elton's approach toward animal ecology as a "sociology and economy of animals"[3]
Knighted in 1946, and created FBA in 1946 and KBE in 1957.

Thomas wants his Northwestern State defense to eventually look a lot like Saban's Alabama stoppers, based in a 3-4 alignment and relying upon speed and talented linebackers to get the job done.
And the new Demons' head coach isn't giving any thought to the value of preseason polls. Last week at the Southeastern Conference Media Days, Saban pointed out that in 17 of the past 21 years, polls failed to accurately pick the conference champion. Wednesday at the Southland Football Media Kickoff, Thomas gave barely a passing glance to polls that slotted the Demons sixth in the eight-team Southland Conference.
"I know what our own expectations are, and I understand how others see us wouldn't line up with what we plan to do this fall," said Thomas. "It's a pecking order on paper only. In a month, we'll start to play it out, and in two months, we'll be kicking off the conference season. That's when it matters. Right now, I like what's happened and what's happening with our team."
Thomas proudly points to having up to 85 Demons in Natchitoches for most if not all summer long, working out together in offseason conditioning and player-led drills. He was already encouraged by the progress his first Northwestern team made in 15 spring practices, particularly in reducing mental errors and penalties, and in the steady progress of the offensive and defensive lines.
"It all starts up front and we feel very good about the guys we have there on both sides of the ball," said Thomas. "That's why we brought these two down here to talk with the media."
Senior offensive tackle Blayne Cole and senior defensive tackle Lesley Deamer were steadfast in their belief that the new coaching staff, schematic changes across the board and the prowess of the big guys on the lines are among reasons to expect a winning season in the 12-game slate for NSU this season.
"Great things are all I expect to see. I think that's a given," said Cole. "We've had every offensive lineman in summer training camp. I think we're the best (position) group (on the team), and the most 'put together' offensive line we've had yet. We have a new coach (assistant head coach/offensive line coach Ben Norton) and he's doing some great things with us. I agree with everything he says and one is that we definitely have a chance to be successful."
Norton has helped three other Southland teams – Texas State, Sam Houston State and McNeese State – win conference titles and advance to the FCS playoffs, including quarterfinal runs in 2001 and 2004 (Sam Houston) and Texas State (2008).
"He knows what it takes to win and win big in our league," said Thomas. "We've coached against each other for many years and now finally he's on my sideline. That's one reason I feel really good about this coaching staff. The biggest thing is that so many of us have previous relationships and have worked together, which has really sped up the process because the coaches don't have to learn how the other guys think and teach. We're all on the same page from day one and that has given our players the chance to learn a new system quickly."
Thomas begins his second Southland head coaching gig after six years (2004-09) at Nicholls State, where he led the Colonels to the 2005 league crown, national rankings in three seasons and three of the four best records in the past 16 years in that program. His trademark was a run-based triple option offense, leading to several media asking if the Demons would use the same system. Not hardly, with Thomas hiring offensive coordinator Robby Brown, whose scheme has roots in the Tony Franklin system launched at Troy, then unleashed in the past two seasons at Louisiana Tech.
Thomas chuckled at the questions, didn't discount the chance that an option play or two might get run from time to time, and enjoyed Cole's description of the Demons' new offense.
"Everybody asks 'are you going to be spread and just throw the ball around' and we're not. In the spring we pounded the rock just as much as passing, if not more," said Cole. "I think if we can develop that running game, the passing game will be there."
The Demons have used a four-man defensive front since the 1970s, and that look won't completely disappear under defensive coordinator Chris Boone, but Deamer likes the expanded duties he forsees in the new scheme.
"I think it's great. The adjustment is pretty cool because we get to move around a lot more and attack more," he said. "I may play some defensive end here or there, or play nose. I like it a lot."

- How to Read a Study Record
People over 65 years of ag break down (metabolize) drugs differently than younger adults. It is not known why this happens or how elderly people absorb or break down these drug differently. These difference may show that elderly individuals need lower doses of medications to avoid possible toxicity. We are interested in studying how yor body absorbs and breaks down your lamotrigine medication. This research may indicate that doses of lamotrigine should be lowered as people get older.

Bipolar Depression
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Crossover
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Determination of Bioavailability and Clearance of Lamotrigine-XR by a Stable Isotope Technique
Blood samples to determine lamotrigine concentration. Urine samples to determine lamotrigine metabolite concentration. DNA from blood sample.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 2008
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|January 2011
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
If you agree to be in this study you will be admitted in to the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) for approximately 24 hours on two different days (Part 1 and Part2). We will need you take a portion of your lamotrigine medication in a special form through a needle in your arm (intravenously). The special form of the drug is the same drug as you normally take except that it has a stable label (a NON-radioactive, naturally occurring atom) on the compound so that we can trace a small amount of the drug through your body. No commercial product of lamotrigine for intravenous use is available because of its poor solubility in water. The intravenous formulation used for this study has a chemical, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, that improves the solubility of lamotrigine in water. This formulation is similar to an intravenous formulation approved for another drug, Sporanox® (itraconazole) that is approved by the FDA. We have obtained approval form the FDA for this intravenous lamotrigine product to be used for research purposes and it has been shown to be safe in more than twenty younger individuals. We will collect fourteen (14) blood samples through a small tube placed into a vein in your arm and collect all of your urine over a period of 24 hours. One blood sample will then be drawn each day for 3 days for a total blood collection of seventeen (17 tubes (totaling approximately 170 mL or 11.5 tablespoons). The samples taken from you will be measured for blood chemistries and concentrations of lmaotrigine and its metabolites resulting from the medication that you take to control your disease (epilepsy or depression)
For the second part of the study, you will be switched from your regular lamotrigine (Lamictal®) to once daily morning dosing of an extended-release formulation of Lamictal-XR® (at the same total daily dose). You will remain on the extended-release lamotrigine (Lamictal-XR) for two weeks, after which you will be re-admitted to the GCRC for 24 hours for Part 2 of the study. Study drug administration and blood and urine sampling will be identical to Part I. The extended-release formulation and your regular lamotrigine have been determined by the manufacturer in preliminary studies to be absorbed the same (bioequivalent0. You will not need to change your total daily dose and will only have to take your lamotrigine once daily with the extended-release product. Your blood levels of lamotrigine will be checked to insure that your are achieving the appropriate concentration with new extended-release product. For this study, you will be given a one-month supply free of charge of the extended-release formulation. After the study is completed, you would return to taking your regular lamotrigine dosing. If the FDA has approved the XR formulation at the end of the study, you and your doctor may decide to keep you on the extended-release form of the drug.
With your consent, a genetics sample, consisting of three (3) additional blood tubes (totaling approximately six teaspoonfuls) will also be collected for a genetic analysis. The genetics sample will be identified with a subject number that corresponds to your other samples. We will use this sample to determine the genetic sequence of DNA that you have that is responsible for encoding proteins that are responsible for breaking down or transporting medications like lamotrigine so that they can be eliminated from your body. You can choose to participate in the main study without taking part in the genetics portion of the study. If you withdraw from the main study, the genetics sample will be discarded with the rest of the samples. if you choose to participate in the genetics portion of the study, we will store the genetics sample indefinitely, however, no testing other than for specific DNA sequences will be done unless we have contact you and received permission to do so.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Asian markets ended mostly higher Monday, with Chinese metal and cement shares gaining on hopes government efforts to reduce overcapacity will benefit the industry.
Australian shares reversed early declines as miners edged higher on expectation of strong earnings growth. Japanese shares were dragged lower on concerns about the yen's recent strength and weak U.S. employment trends.
China's Shanghai Composite climbed 0.5%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.6%, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average fell 0.7%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index advanced 0.6% and Taiwan's Taiex gained 0.9%.

Stock gains for Chinese corporations came after the government said Sunday it had ordered 2,087 companies in 18 sectors to shut down obsolete plants in a decision aimed at streamlining industries that were polluting, energy-intensive and had excess capacity.
"This is very good news for the steel and cement sectors, as it will foster the development of these industries," said Chen Jinren at Huatai Securities.
Anhui Conch Cement AHCHY, +7.91% (600585) advanced 1.8% and Xinyu Iron & Steel Co. (600782) gained 1.4% in Shanghai, while Xinjiang Tianshan Cement (000877) added 0.4% and Yunnan Copper (000878) climbed 2.9% in Shenzhen.
Paper and cement companies in Taiwan also gained on hopes the efforts would benefit companies on the island whose factories in mainland China are more advanced and meet new standards. Yuen Foong Yu Paper Manufacturing rose 4%, Taiwan Cement TGBMF, +0.00% advanced 1.5% and Lucky Cement gained 1.9%.
The broad regional advance came despite a weak opening for some markets in the wake of a decline Friday on Wall Street, when data showed July nonfarm payrolls fell by 131,000 and the jobless rate remained at 9.5%, compared with expectations for a decline of 60,000 jobs and a 9.6% jobless rate. The data added to the view that the U.S. Federal Reserve may be forced to do more to help the recovery along.
"The weak state of the [U.S.] labor market is likely to foster debate at the [Federal Open Market Committee] on whether more policy stimulus is needed to bolster the recovery," said Mark Smith, economist at ANZ bank in Wellington.
South Korea's Kospi rose 0.4%, New Zealand's NZX 50 gained 0.3% and Philippine stocks advanced 0.2%. In afternoon trading, India's Sensex was up 0.5%, Indonesian shares added 0.4% and Thailand's SET Index was flat.
Singapore markets were closed for a holiday.
Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.23% futures were up 24 points in screen trade.
In Tokyo, exporters paced the decline, with Honda Motor Co. HMC, +1.70% (7267) losing 1.7% and Toyota Motor Corp. TM, +2.02% (7203) dropping 1.4%.
"Investors may want to avoid exporters, at least until the FOMC meeting [this week] is over," said Hikaru Sato, senior technical analyst at Daiwa Securities Capital Markets. He added that trading volume may stay low as participants headed off for Japan's Bon holidays starting this week.

As you may have heard, we released an initial version of a technology known as the worldwide telescope last month. I've been playing around with it for a bit and I've got to say it's fascinating stuff. Geek as I am I grew up with Science Fiction, reading Omni magazine, and generally being interested in all things off planet – which means that a product like this is something I can spend hours exploring.
Now, of course there are other products out there that do similar things. I remember discovering Celestia some years ago and finding it a wonderful thing indeed. I bought a copy of Starry Night Backyard, and found even more depth and wonder. Of course I played with Google Sky when it was released as an addition to Google Earth – and had great enjoyment with it. And there are many others too, so for a mad star-struck person like me all of these applications are goodness, and all bring their own special value and sense of wonder.
So what of the Worldwide Telescope? It truly is something special. Here are some of the things I love about it, and I've only really started to scrape the surface:
And there is so much more. I have to limit my time in this application because it's so easy to find hours slipping away.
So if you haven't explored it yet I very much recommend you take a look. It's uplifting, fascinating and a really wonderful experience.

Pompey On July 29, police arrested a man regarding a July 2 graduation party in the town of Pompey. On July 2, at about 10:50 p.m., sheriff's deputies responded to the 7500 block of Ashlind Circle regarding a large party/disturbance.
Upon arrival, they observed approximately 200 vehicles parked on both sides of Ashlind Circle, Winsbury Circle and along Henneberry Road. While in the area, deputies observed large groups of individuals walking through multiple yards. Deputies responded to 7598 Ashlind Circle and observed between 500 and 700 individuals engaged in a large outdoor party that was getting out of control.
Gregory York, 23, of 342 Cameco Circle, Liverpool, approached deputies in the street and advised that it was his parent's residence and they gave him permission to have a graduation party while they were out of town.
While waiting for additional units to respond, a glass bottle was thrown in the direction of a sheriff's patrol vehicle. Upon arrival of several other units, deputies responded to the back yard of the residence and directed everybody to leave because the party was being shut down.
While in the backyard, deputies observed approximately 500 to 700 people surrounding the pool and backyard area consuming alcoholic beverages. As additional police responded, people began jumping the fence to exit the backyard. Air1 responded to assist in lighting the area.
When the individuals were gone, multiple alcohol containers were observed throughout the backyard and in the swimming pool.
Deputies were able to contact the owner of the residence, Patricia McGinnis, 59, and advised her of the incident that occurred at her home. McGinnis stated she was nine and a half hours away and did not give York, her son, permission to throw a party at the residence. At that time, McGinnis advised deputies that she did not desire prosecution. The following week, McGinnis told deputies that her son was advised not to be on her property when the party took place and she desired prosecution.
York eluded police for about two weeks until he was apprehended July 29 at about 7:20 p.m. York was arrested for the class B misdemeanor of third degree criminal trespass and was arraigned in the town of Manlius court. York is currently being held in the Justice Center in lieu of $2,500 cash or bond.
Approximately 20 law enforcement officers from the sheriff's office, Manlius Police Department and New York State police responded to the large party.

|Written by Mike Kelly
|Wednesday, 30 March 2011 17:52
There were two baseball games rained out Wednesday night in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference.St. Stephens and Bunker Hill, Fred T. Foard and Newton-Conover had their games postponed. No make up dates have been announced. The St. Stephens Bunker Hill game was a second attempt. The original playing date in early March was victimized by rain.
There's two more games on the schedule Thursday night. Alexander Central travel to Davie County and Hibriten travels to West Lincoln. The Pioneers have an open date on Friday as second round play begins in the NW3A/4A.
WHS entertains North Davidson in a non-conference game Saturday. Our coverage begins at 2 pm on Oldies 100.7 FM.

Dextrose, or glucose as it's also known, is a monosaccharide that is approximately 25% less sweet than pure or refined cane sugar, and is not associated with either fructose or lactose. It is derived entirely from corn, making it natural, effective, and easily utilized by the body. Its fine texture and moderate sweetness make dextrose versatile for a wide range of applications. However, it offers an especially important effect for athletes. As a simple sugar, it is well-tolerated by most individuals with healthy blood sugar levels, and can be consumed before, during and after the most intense training sessions.
From an athletic performance perspective, dextrose can help ensure that hard-worked muscles are not deprived the protein and nutrients they need to recover, repair and replenish. Dextrose has a high glycemic index (GI) rating which allows it to enter the bloodstream very quickly. NOW Dextrose is 100% pure and manufactured under NOW's strict quality standards.

NEW YORK (AP) - After selling a comedy special directly to fans and upending the comedy business, Louis C.K. is taking the same approach with tickets to his next tour.
The comedian announced Monday evening that he'll charge a flat, no-fee rate of $45 to all of the shows on a 39-city tour he kicks off in October. Tickets will bypass ticketing services and be available only through louisck.com.
That's similar to how he sold downloads of his special "Live at the Beacon" for $5, a move that was widely hailed and has since been imitated by other comics.
In an effort to deter scalping, he pledged that any tour tickets sold above the original price will be canceled.
Louis C.K.'s show "Louie" debuts its third season on FX on Thursday.

Brian Shivers walks out of Belfast High Court with his legal team in...

Last year, Shivers, 47, was convicted of the murders of Mark Quinsey, 23, and Patrick Azimkar, 21, and ordered to serve at least 25 years, but that judgement was quashed earlier this year by Northern Ireland's Court of Appeal.

President Bush sometimes speaks the truth, but he rarely speaks the whole truth. Yesterday's Wilkes-Barre address (President steps up attack on war critics, Boston Globe, November 12th. 2005, A1, A12) was correct that early in the run up to the Iraq war everyone believed that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction. Everyone was basing their beliefs on the same information.
But that "everyone knows" level of confidence was undermined by the reports of the UN Weapons inspectors between October 2002 and the first days of war. They reported finding no significant WMDs.
It is worthwhile examining the time line very carefully because it puts the Senate War resolution of October 2002 in a very different context than it is usually provided. On September 16th 2002, Iraq accepted the return of the inspectors; this followed by four days G. W. Bush's speech to the UN laying out the case for war. By September 30th, the Iraqis were dragging their feet and proposing unacceptable (to the US) conditions for the return of the inspectors including the exclusion of eight Presidential sites from their remit. On October 10th. The War Resolution passed Congress. In the weeks that followed, Iraqi recalcitrance collapsed and by November 18th. the inspectors were on their way to Iraq with no restrictions on their activities. The War resolution was just what was needed to get the inspectors into Iraq. As such it was a brilliant piece of realpolitik. Over the next four months, the inspectors did their work in Iraq. On February 14th., Hans Blix the chief inspector says that Iraq is in compliance with the disarmament agreement that ended the first Gulf War. March 20th. The War begins.
Yes, up until February, it was plausible to claim that we all knew that Iraq had WMDs; after February, no one could claim that position. The UN inspectors suggested that there was no causus belli. That should have been enough to derail the juggernaut. Alas it did not.
Men and women are dying in Iraq today because we failed to hold the administration accountable for the truth. We must not allow George W. Bush to continue with his misleading half-truths today.

Lien & Allen's Wedding | Same Day Edit | Pacific Palms Resort
"How can the weatherman predict the weather… let alone the future?" - Marty McFly, Back To The Future
As Hazel and I headed out to the wedding gazebo for Lien and Allen's ceremony at the Pacific Palms Resort, we made a quick stop at the golf store. It looked like it was going to rain, so we asked if they had any umbrellas. "They're 38 dollars," the guy at the counter said. 38 dollars?!!! But sure enough, a downpour came along right before the wedding started… and Hazel and our Macbook Pro were safe under what turned out to be the best investment we made all year. Thanks, Nike… a bit pricey for an umbrella… but it was worth it! (Check out the photo above of my wife working on the Same Day Edit in the rain. She's awesome!)
The rain was definitely good luck on this day. Check out the SDE of their memorable wedding day below (umbrella not included).

text: CLEVELAND (AP) A former alter boy has filed a lawsuit accusing a priest of sexually abusing him as a child 35 years ago, molesting him more than 100 times. Wolfgang Fifer, 49, a long-haul trucker from Chicago, alleges that the Rev. Russell Banner molested him from the time he was 12 until he graduated from the Parmadale childrens home at 14. Parmadale is a home for troubled boys that is run by Cleveland Catholic Charities. Banner was pastor of Annunciation Parish in Cleveland when he and eight other priests were suspended by the Cleveland Catholic Diocese in April 2002 in an investigation of sex abuse allegations. Banner, now 66, retired and living in Bradenton, Fla., denied Fifers allegations in a phone call with The Plain Dealer on Tuesday.

The regulation of building construction is not a recent phenomenon. It can be traced through recorded history for more than 4,000 years. Through time, people have become increasingly aware of ways to avoid the catastrophic consequences of building-construction failures. Check out this brief history of building codes from International Code Council.
In early America, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson encouraged the development of building regulations to provide for minimum standards that would ensure health and safety. Today, most of the United States is covered by a network of modern building regulations ranging in coverage from fire and structural safety to health, security, and conservation of energy.
Public safety is not the only byproduct afforded by modern codes. Architects, engineers, contractors, and others in the building community can take advantage of the latest technological advances accommodated by these codes with viable savings to the consumer.
For codes to be effective, an understanding and cooperative relationship must exist between building officials and the groups they serve––homeowners, developers, urban planners and designers, and others in the construction industry. Codes must therefore be responsive to the government's need to protect the public. They must provide due process for all affected and keep pace with rapidly-changing technology. All of these groups work together to develop and maintain codes.
During the early 1900s, model building codes were authored by the code enforcement officials of various communities with key assistance from all segments of the building industry. Now, model codes are the central regulatory basis for the administration of programs in cities, counties, and states throughout the United States. They simply represent a collective undertaking, which shares the cost of code development and maintenance while ensuring uniformity of regulations so that the advantages of technology can be optimized.
Building safety code enforcement has historically been accomplished by defraying the costs of administration through a system of fees relating to a specific project––a system that is self-supporting. These fees are generally less than one percent of the overall cost of the building project. Public protection is thus obtained in a cost-effective manner with the entire process, from plan review to field inspection, carried out in a professional manner. The system is so well developed that the true complexity of the process is obscure to many. It is for the purpose of creating awareness of this important public service that the International Code Council has published this information.

This summer it's about makeup survival of the fittest, so I'm bringing you all some tips direct from the sultry south.
This summer it's about makeup survival of the fittest, so I'm bringing you all some tips direct from the sultry south.
Big question: what's the shelf life of makeup? Some products don't get used up within the expiration time and then others, such as mascara or foundation, a girl can run through them.
Want that summer glow now, this minute, without damaging your skin? I do and bronzer is the way to go. According to Ricky Wilson, Dior's celebrity makeup artist, you want to match the bronzer shade to your décolleté area, not your face. "That way,
What would Van Gogh have done if he didn't have his brushes? No painter or make up artist is complete unless all the brushes are there. And it's not that you can use just any brush. For proper application of make up, good makeup brushes are needed.
Spring is usually a delicate time in the makeup industry, when pastels and air brushed looks kiss faces in a soft, dewy… STOP. RIGHT. THERE. Not this spring! 2013 makeup comes in a like a lion and stays a lion. No more lambs, girls.
Dear Case,
My friend "Tara" wears too much makeup. I think she is naturally pretty and as her friend, I feel like I should tell her that her heavy hand at makeup application is unbecoming.
Now, I know there's a lot of "nail art" trending out there, and florals are huge for spring, but this article is just going to talk about color… all the hot colors to wear this spring.
"Gourmand" is a term that refers to a category of fragrance based on notes associated with food, particularly scents that have sweet, dessert-like qualities, with aromas of vanilla, chocolate, almond, caramel, rum, honey, sugar, cinnamon, and other spices.
Being Dior's National Makeup Artist and having worked on thousands of beautiful faces, maybe even yours, you keep a few tricks up your sleeve to make your clients positively glow. But my motto is share the beauty, share the knowledge so we can all look and feel our best.
You've made it through Christmas and Hanukkah looking fabulous, now it's time to get ready to ring in the New Year in style. The next question is where are you going and what's the dress code?
From the time we're little, nearly every girl dreams of the day she can wear makeup. It starts when we see our mother apply lipstick for the first time, and suddenly, all we can think about is getting our hands on that glorious tube of Estee Lauder red.
Kevianno is not only the West Coast Dior National Makeup Artist, but he is also one of the weBEgirls skincare and makeup experts. You may only know him from his writing here, but with 15 years of experience behind him, and having done runway, editorial, celebrity red carpet, product launch events and more

Damon Avanti Class-A Motorhome

"Introducing the industry's most fuel-efficient, clean diesel Class A motorhome"
Roaming Times is the world's #1 RV
review site
Search the
RV reviews
Find a
used RV
New for 2009
The initial Avanti model "up to 70 percent better fuel economy
than comparable Class A motorhomes"
Starting at $144,060
The initial Avanti model is 31 ½ feet long and designed to be a more fuel efficient and easier-to-drive Class A motor home. Combining a sleek, low-to-the-ground, aerodynamic design with the re-engineered Workhorse chassis, the Avanti is expected to achieve up to 70 percent better fuel economy than comparable Class A motor homes, based on internal test results..
Damon say the Avanti is special because:
Avanti's European-inspired, aerodynamic design gives it an automotive feel behind the wheel
Initial independent testing showed Avanti is 70% more fuel efficient than any other Class-A diesel
This is a highly-livable coach with gorgeous, yachtlike styling. Notice unique drop-down bed system (shown above)
Avanti is contemporary thanks to curved cabinetry, elegant fabrics and SMEV (Italian) appliances
Click for a lager picture
The Damon Vice President of Avanti Sales Matt Thompson describes the Avanti's drivability as "awesome." The Avanti's coach is nearly 12 inches closer to the ground than any other Class A motor home and is six inches narrower. The low center of gravity, combined with the excellent ride and handling of the Workhorse chassis, gives it "an automotive feel," said Thompson. "I think people will find it fun to drive. Certainly not like any other Class A."
The Avanti is the first motor home to be built on the Workhorse W16D front-engine diesel platform.
Workhose says: The W16D also marks the first appearance of the MaxxForce™ 5 V6 diesel engine in a motor home. The MaxxForce 5 is mated to an Allison 1000 Series transmission and produces 200 horsepower and 440 ft.-lbs. of torque. Other key W16D features that enhance the drivability and manageability of the motor home include high-performance Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes, 50-degree wheel cut and electronic instrument cluster with full instrumentation and information center.
Leading edge technology makes the MaxxForce 5 a "clean diesel" engine that improves both emission levels and fuel efficiency. That and the relatively light weight of the Workhorse chassis both contribute to the Avanti's fuel economy and payload capacity.

Select an academic discipline such as political science, economics, or sociology, and indicate three specific ways the discipline could add insights into the labor realtions process. If i were to select Sociology as an academic discipline, this acadmic discipline focuses on examining job satisfaction. i believe that the three specific ways that sociology could add insight is first since many union are organized because employees are unhappy with the how they are treated at work or the working conditions. This insight here would be giving employers information to update work rules and those involved in labor relations to make sure employees are satisfied. Another insight to the labor relations process would be 2. Discuss the different dimensions of technology, indicating how this variable might contribute to two unique and specific work rules for unionized employees at a grocery store. Also indicate with examples how two other external constraints or influences could affect the work rules at a grocery store. There are four different dimensiosn in technology. The first dimension is equipment used in operation. second deminesion is the pace and scheduling of work, third dimension is characteristics of the work envionment and tasks to be performed and fourth dimension is information exchange. All these dimensions affect different workplaces and work rules for those jobs. At a grocery store, having new technology where customers can scan their items themselves and insert or swipe their card for payment reduces the amount of cashiers needed to scan customers goods. The dimension that applies here is the characteristic of the work environment and taks performed. There are less employees that need to be hired for those positions. There is less skill needed for these jobs since the new technology records everything such as purchases, inventory, and changing prices. Two other influences that could affect work rules at a grocery store would be the state of the economy and labor market. The state of the economy affects work rules becasue if people are not in good financial standing they are less likely to get grocerys that are more expensive and may just settle for the in store brand and may not get that prime rib for dinner instead just get some chicken. The labor market could affect work rules because if there is new technology the labor market that a grocery store is looking for would be less skilled workers so they dont have to pay them as much. 4. The text outlines three basic assumptions underlyting the labor reatlsion process in the United States. To what extent do you agree or disagree with these assumptions? Does your response differ any depending on whether you think about the question from the perspective of an employer or an employee? assumption1-adoption and support of a free enterprise (capitalist) economic system in the United States creates an inherent conflict of interest between employers and employees 2-employess in a free and democratic society have a right to independently pursue their employment interests using lawful means. 3-collective bargaining provides a process for meaningful employee participation through independently chosen representatives in the determination of work rules Chapter 2-Discussion Questions 2. Use the four criteria mentioned in the introduction of this chapter for evaluating the strengths of a labor organization, and discuss why the AFL survived and the IWW faded into obscurity as labor organizations. 1-its structural and financial stability 2-its ability to work within the established political and economic system, particularly the wage system 3-the degree to which teh broader social environment suchs as legislation, media, and public opinion are supportive or opposed to a labor organizations goals and tactics 4-the ability of union leaderes to identify and satisfy members' goals and interests AFL-"pure and simple"unionism, didnt try to change existing social system, focused more interest on member needs. IWW-lack of permanent membership and financial base, inability of the iww to appeal to members' interests, identification of the IWW with savotage and violence, alienation of the news media andgovernment officals, and overthrow existing capitalistic system by any means necessary, no effetive organization structure decided 3. Explain how the Haymarket Riot, Homestead strike, and Pullman strike helped as well as hurt the AFL. haymarket riot-brought good media since AFL made it known that they were seperate from KOL homestead strike- hurt unions in general since not only showed decline and that unions are bad but helped AFL because showed that Gomper demonstrated existing and potential members his very real concern about the Homestead situation and funds from AFL helped pay for memebers legal expenses Pullman strike-helped because showed that AFL didnt want to get involved in issues that are "lost cause" 6. Discuss some key similiarities and differences between the AFL-CIO and the Change to Win federation. What impact do you think the Change to Win federation will have on union membership growth and union involvement in politics over the next 5 to 10 years? Differences=CTW-less formally structured, contribute 50% of annual operating budget twoard union organizing activies instead focus more resources on grass-roots direct political action by the member unions themselves AFL-CIO=more formally structured contribute 30% annual operating budget toward union organizing activties spend less time and money working through the established political parties Similarities=priciples and philosophies in the next 5 to 10 years i believe that the impact that the CTW will have on membership growth and involvement in politics would be that they would take the involvement in politics to lessen because instead of spending a lot of tim and money working through the political parties already established they are going to look at using more resources grass root political action As far as membership growth they may find it easier because they are taking 50% of their budget to organizing activites instead of politics. Chapter 3-Discussion Questions 3. Why did the 1914 Clayton Act, called US Labor's Magna Charta by AFL president Samuel Gomper's fail to live up to union leader's expectations? Gomper thought it says it would free organized labor from the restraints of antitrust prosecution. joy short lived hurt growth and development more than it helped because under the act, employers could now seek labor injuntions for alleged antitrust violations on their own, wheare as under the sharman act on a us districy attoney could see such and injunction from a court. Supreme court interpreted congress;s intent in passing the act as only reaffirminf a labor organizations right to exist so long as it sought to acheive lawful ends using lawful means 4. What was the intent or purpose of Congress in passing a) the 1932 Norris-La Guardia Act; b) the 1935 National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act; and c) the 1947 Labor Management Relations (Taft- Hartley) Act? Norris-LaGuardia-pressure on congress to take a more active role in regulating the economy, including providing more protection for basic workers' rights. Allow employees a greater voice in seeking to advance and protesttheir legitimate job interests, congress limited the power of federal couarts to intervene in labor disputes trhough the issuance of labor injunctions. Encourage courts to adopt a more impartial or neutral role in seeking to protect and enforce the ligitmate rights of employers and employees. finally express congressional support for the process of collective bargaining as an appropriate means for employees to improve and protect their employement interests Wagner Act-sought to ensure the free flow of commerce, labor peace and stability, and protection of the public's interest by encouraging the process of collective bargaining and preventing employer interference with the exercise of employee rights defined in the act. LMRA-fairly balance labor relations policy added seiont of unfair union labor practices 6. Should the NLRB's administration of the LMRA be termed a success? Why or why not? NLRB Responsiblites- prevent employer and union unfair labor practices as defed by the LMRA which interfere with the exercise of employee right protected by the act, carried out through investigation, prosecution, and remedy of unfair labor practices. second determine if employees covered under the LMRA desire representation by an independent labor organization for purposes of collective bargaining.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Good news Tim Tebow fans: There are still tickets available for his Gwinnett visit after all.
Tebow and Christian author John C. Maxwell will be visiting 12Stone Church's central campus in Lawrenceville on Wednesday, May 2 for a "conversation about leadership and faith" sponsored by EQUIP. On Thursday, the organization clarified earlier reports and said that tickets (priced at $25, $50 and $100) are still available online.
EQUIP's Kimberly Williams said that, as of Thursday afternoon, more than 1,000 general session tickets remained for sale. A banner erroneously published on the ticketing website said the event had been sold out.
"There was a glitch on the side of the iTickets (Wednesday)," Williams said in an email. "We were made aware of it late in the day and had the banner changed for viewers to contact their customer service line."
Tickets can still be purchased at www.itickets.com/events/282684.html. They will not be available at the door.
12Stone is simply the host of the event and has no control over ticketing. For more information, visit www.iequip.org.
Funds raised by the event go directly to train EQUIP's international ministry leaders.

Central African Republic: Food Distributions Amid Insecurity
Food Distributions Continue Amid Insecurity 1
Despite ongoing violence, WFP has provided food assistance to 220,000 displaced people since the start of the year in the capital Bangui and the towns of Bouar and Bossangoa, and has started to reach vulnerable people in rural areas outside Bossangoa.
Food Distributions Continue Amid Insecurity 3
Ten trucks carrying WFP food arrived in Bangui after being blocked at the Cameroon border. However, 43 vehicles remain stranded at the border as drivers refuse to proceed mostly due to the insecurity along the road.
Food Distributions Continue Amid Insecurity 5
WFP Programme Assistant Mahoua Coulibaly briefs displaced people just before they receive their rations. "They need to be reassured and make sure that they take home everything they are entitled to," she says.

Adenoids are small tissues located at the back of the throat. They are similar to the tonsils, and located right above them. Both adenoids and tonsils are part of the immune system.
Adenoids are present at birth, and they grow until a child is between the ages of 3 and 5. Normally, they begin to shrink after around age 7. They shrink considerably in adulthood.
During the early years, adenoids help protect infants from infection. They trap bacteria and viruses when they enter the body. Adenoids that become infected usually become enlarged, but resume their normal size when the infection subsides. However, in some instances, the adenoids remain enlarged, even once the infection is gone.
Enlarged adenoids can cause a number of symptoms, including:
The doctor will first ask about the symptoms your child is experiencing. Then your child will receive a physical exam. The doctor will use a special mirror and insert a small, flexible telescope (endoscope) through the nose to view the adenoids. Your child may need a blood test to check for infection.
In severe cases, your child may need to undergo a sleep study. This will determine if he or she is suffering from sleep apnea. During the study, your child will sleep overnight at a facility while his or her breathing and brain activity are monitored using electrodes. The study is painless, but it can be difficult for some children to sleep in a strange place.
Enlarged adenoids are usually removed. The procedure is fairly simple and carries minimal risk. This surgery is called an adenoidectomy. If a child has been having frequent tonsil infections, the doctor might remove the tonsils as well. The tonsils and adenoids are often removed at the same time.
Your child will be given a mild sedative before surgery to help calm him or her, and is then placed under general anesthesia. The surgery lasts no more than two hours.
After the adenoids are removed, your child might experience:
The doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to protect against any infection. Your child may also receive a mild pain reliever for the first few days. In addition, children are urged to drink cold, icy drinks, like milkshakes and ice cream, and to avoid any warm foods for the first seven days.
Symptoms should clear up in a few weeks.

Ex-Congressman Visits IL Politician Jackson At Mayo
(Chicago, IL) -- A former U.S. Representative from Rhode Island makes a surprise visit to Chicago-area lawmaker Jesse Jackson Junior inside the Minnesota clinic where he's being treated for a case of depression. A spokesperson from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota confirms Patrick Kennedy stopped there to meet with the son of Reverend Jesse Jackson in private. Kennedy is a former Democratic Congressman known for struggles with addiction and bipolar depression. Kennedy now serves in an advocacy role on behalf of people with mental health issues. Jackson came under scrutiny in June for taking time away from his elected position until it was just recently revealed that he's at Mayo Clinic undergoing treatment.
State Republicans Tear Into Quinn At Fair Gathering
(Springfield, IL) -- Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is the target of some not-so good-natured ribbing before a crowd of Republicans Thursday at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield. The "Journal-Register" says members of Illinois' GOP quote "took turns" poking fun at the Democratic Governor over his so-called shaky performance at the fair one day earlier. State union members booed Quinn unmercifully on Wednesday over proposed cuts in wages and pensions. They also made fun of Quinn's gaffe involving President Obama who the Governor mistakenly said was "dead" when he meant Osama bin Laden.
Feds Release Warning In Wake Of IL Megabus Wreck
An emergency bulletin is announced as a warning in connection with the recent deadly Megabus accident in Illinois. The "Tribune" says the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is warning that fully-loaded double-decker buses may quote "overload tires outside the suggested weight limit." A crash involving one of these Megabuses earlier this month in the southern Illinois town of Litchfield resulted in one person's death. State investigators believe the crash was due to a blown-out tire.
Ex-Bear 'Mongo' McMichael Plans Mayoral Campaign
(Chicago, IL) -- Former Bears great Steve "Mongo" McMichael says he is seriously considering a campaign to become the mayor of a Chicago suburb. Speaking to the "Sun-Times" the onetime Super Bowl-champion said he plans to run for the mayorship in the town of Romeoville where he's co-owner of a sports bar. McMichael says he was driven to get into politics because of conversations he has with customers about problems in his local district. The former professional wrestler also said he doesn't think his lack of political experience should diminish his chances of being elected.

Appetizer Recipe: Mediterranean Turkey Meatballs with Herbed Yogurt Sauce
Recipes from The Kitchn
In great anticipation and excitement for a sunny spring, we've been chatting about entertaining and parties a bit more than usual on The Kitchn lately. This past weekend instead of traditional Easter fare, we made meatballs at my house. Meatballs are so fitting for any party that I had to share them with you today.
This recipe came about as many do: in an effort to clean out the fridge before a little getaway. I'm heading back down to The Bay Area this weekend, and wanted to make sure we weren't leaving ingredients behind that would go bad. We had a bit of ground turkey in the refrigerator, some leftover feta and ricotta, and for some reason we always have ample Italian parsley. I remember reading about lentil meatballs on Sprouted Kitchen months back and have been dying to add lentils to my meatballs ever since. So, here we are: the Mediterranean Turkey Meatball was born.
Truthfully, while these meatballs are a perfect appetizer with the yogurt sauce, they'd be just as comfy soaking in a big pot of tomato sauce and eaten with pasta, or served with farro and greens for a more well-rounded meal. The salty olives, capers and feta balance out the creamy lentils and ricotta and the snap of the herbs. While they're certainly not traditional and you can't compare them to your Italian grandmother's, these are my new favorite meatball: hands down.
A few notes on the recipe: I never buy breadcrumbs in the store because they're expensive and so easy to make at home; use any bread you have laying around (even slightly stale bread) and toast it in the oven at 400°F. Then pulverize it in the food processor until, that's right, you've got bread crumbs. I find 4 to 5 slices of sandwich bread will equal about 2/3 cup breadcrumbs. And I realize it's spring and many of you may be growing herbs out in the garden or on your windowsills. If you prefer other herbs than what I've used in the dipping sauce, by all means substitute away! The point of the recipe was really to use and celebrate what we already had at home.
Mediterranean Turkey Meatballs with Herbed Yogurt Sauce
For the meatballs:
1 cup cooked lentils (black or green works well)
1/2 pound ground turkey
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons red onion, minced
2 tablespoons chopped black olives
1 tablespoon capers
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the herbed yogurt sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried chives
1 teaspoon fresh or dried dill, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper, to taste
In a food processor, quickly grind up the lentils until they become mush. Put them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add all of the remaining meatball ingredients to the bowl and mix well. I use my hands here, but if you're more comfortable, use a good sturdy mixing spoon. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray generously with non-stick spray. Form 2-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. The meatballs keep their shape nicely and don't spread much, so don't worry about giving them too much space.
Bake on the middle rack for 20 to 22 minutes until the meatballs are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
While the meatballs are baking, make the yogurt dipping sauce by simply whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve. Keep both meatballs and yogurt sauce covered and refrigerated; meatballs will keep for 3 to 4 days, yogurt dip will keep for 7 to 10 days.
