General Info
Loyola University Chicago
Founded in 1870, Loyola University Chicago is the oldest university in the City of Chicago. The school of law admitted its first class in 1908 and has been accredited by the American Bar Association since 1925. Loyola University Chicago is one of the largest Jesuit universities in the United States.
Jean M. Gasparado, B.S., Wisconsin; M.B.A., J.D., Loyola-Chicago. Dean Gaspardo served in the capacity of Director of Student Services for Loyola from 1993 – 1999, and as assistant dean from 1999 to the present. Her current responsibilities as Dean of Students and Law Programs include: counseling students; directing of Study Law Abroad Programs in Rome, China and European Legal Institutions; assisting with the London Advocacy Program and Spring Break programs abroad; and assisting with administrative operations of the law school. Dean Gaspardo has an extensive background in small business and world travel. She speaks fluent Italian and can also communicate in Spanish and French. Dean Gaspardo has accompanied Loyola's summer abroad programs continuously since 1991.
To register (available October 2014), fill out the application form online and mail the non-refundable deposit for each program to which you apply ($650 for China) to the address indicated. The deposit will be credited toward your activity fee.
In addition, after completion of your first semester, non-Loyola University Chicago students should direct their registrar to mail a Letter of Good Standing to the same address stating that you have successfully completed at least your first semester course work with a 2.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale) and have completed or are currently enrolled in the second semester of first year law school.
Registration via LOCUS on-line is February 25- March 15, 2015. Students must register for four (4) credit hours for China. A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of application, no later than March 2, 2015. All tuition, fees and housing costs for the program must be paid in full by April 1, 2015.
Space is limited, apply early. Only 24 students will be accepted into the China Program. The program often fills up before the application deadline of March 2, 2015.
Please note: Except in the event of the cancellation of the program or of any particular course, no tuition can be refunded after April 3, 2015. Students who withdraw from a course after that date cannot receive a refund of tuition. ABA Standards on U.S. State Department Consular Information regarding "Areas of Instability" and Travel Warnings in those counties where programs are held will govern program cancellation. Should the program be canceled for any reason, Loyola will promptly notify all enrolled students of the cancellation and will refund within 20 days all payments received. Further, Loyola will diligently put forth its best effort to find another program in which the students can enroll.
Any student in good standing at an ABA accredited United States or Canadian law school who has successfully completed at least one year of legal study is eligible to participate. Last year our China Program enrolled 14 students, all of whom were from Loyola Chicago.
Credit & Grades
The Study Law Abroad Program is offered as part of the fully accredited curriculum of Loyola University Chicago School of Law. The program is fully accredited by the ABA as an approved foreign summer program. Participating non-Loyola students are responsible for securing approval of their own school to transfer credit. Grades for courses will be earned and awarded in increments of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F; grades will be determined by a written examination and/or paper(s) at the discretion of the instructor.
Acceptance of any credit or grade for any course taken in the program is subject to determination by the student's home school. It is unlikely that participation in foreign summer programs may be used to accelerate graduation. A student interested in acceleration of graduation should discuss this issue with his/her school officials in light of ABA Standard 305, Interpretation 4.
Non-Loyola Students are responsible for requesting a transcript of grades for their work in the China program. Transcripts will be available in early October by sending a written request for transcript to:
Loyola University Chicago
Records and Registration
820 N. Michigan Avenue, Room 504

OR, an online request by going to the following website form: http://transcriptrequest.luc.edu/alumni/pages/jsp/
Be sure to provide your name, address, last 4 digits of your social security number, reference to Study Law Abroad Program and the program location and year.
Financial Aid
Financial Aid is available from Federal Student Loan programs. It is strongly recommended that loan applications be completed by February 26, 2015 for timely processing.
For Loyola Chicago students:
- Check LOCUS to see if you have borrowed all of your GradPLUS eligibility for the year. If not, you may borrow the remainder of that eligibility and up to the total cost of attendance for your program. If yes, you may request more GradPLUS up to the cost of attendance for the program.
- Once you have registered for the summer classes, you can proceed to apply for funding.
- To borrow any amount of additional GradPLUS funding, visit studentloans.gov and "Request Direct Plus Loan" when you are ready to take out the funding (Remember, interest is accruing on these loans as soon as they are disbursed to you)
- Enter the amount you would like to borrow. (Note: The school will only grant the maximum amount for the budget provided).
- The University's Financial Aid Office will process the loan, and notify you via email once the loan has been certified. This process can take between 5-10 business days from the time your credit check is approved, and another 3 business days to disburse to your account.
Follow up: For additional inquiries or status checks, you may contact the University Financial Aid Office at email@example.com. Please provide your ID number, and mention you are a law student requesting aid for the specific summer program(s) you will be enrolled in for the summer.
Visiting Students
The Non-Loyola Chicago students should contact the financial aid office of the school which is granting your degree (home school). The home school is responsible for financial aid processing.
Please submit a request to your financial aid department for funding for the program, unless you have another source of funds. The authorized funding for the programs is listed below. You will want to share this list with your financial aid advisor if you are not a Loyola Chicago student.
February 26, 2015: Loan application is due at the home school's (degree granting) Financial Aid
Office. Late applications, at best, generate late funding (post-departure).
March 9, 2015: Consortium Agreement (to be obtained from home school) is due at Loyola
Admission and Financial Aid Office. Late Consortium Agreements will impede your home school's Financial Aid Office from timely processing your loan, at best resulting in late funding.
Send Consortium Agreement to: firstname.lastname@example.com

All month, we've been sharing stories of hope: stories of prisoner rape survivors who have overcome incredible personal pain to become powerful advocates for safety and dignity for all people behind bars.
There's Scott, who, after being raped repeatedly in a Colorado prison, went on to testify before the Department of Justice about national standards that could have protected him. There is Hope, who was raped by a jail guard, then later stood in the Oval Office as President Bush signed the Prison Rape Elimination Act into law. And there is Frank, who, four years after being raped by an officer in a Los Angeles County jail, spoke at the 2010 National Sexual Assault Conference, training rape crisis counselors on the impact of sexual abuse behind bars.
Scott, Hope, and Frank are just three among countless people who have suffered at the hands of a broken justice system, yet have managed to turn their lives around to make sure that no one else has to go through what they did, ever again.
We've also shared the hope for change that we see, every day, in our work with corrections officials, policymakers, survivors, and other advocates: sexual abuse behind bars is no longer a secret, whispered among survivors who feel alone and ashamed. Today, there are dedicated people all over the country who are working to stop it.
Please, make today the day that you share some hope with survivors. Make your donation now to help JDI continue our work to end prisoner rape, once and for all. And be sure to take advantage of this last-minute chance to send a free message of hope directly to a survivor who is still behind bars. Your gift of hope can transform someone's life -- and it can take us one step closer to protecting the safety and dignity of all people behind bars.

In-Gallery Performance
Marie Chouinard's IN MUSEUM
Sat, Mar 23, 2013, 2–5 pm
IN MUSEUM is a rare opportunity to experience Montreal choreographer and dancer Marie Chouinard in a solo performance, a form she explored in her remarkable first works in the late 1970s and through the 1980s. Individuals circulating in a gallery space can ask a question or make a request of Marie Chouinard, be it personal or universal, to which she then responds, performing intimate rituals and dance of dazzling spontaneity. Between each encounter, she takes time to refocus before embodying the next visitor's inner world and aspirations.
Working from the theme of "making the whirling world stand still" (fixer les vertiges) that is inspired by a poem by Arthur Rimbaud, Chouinard's performance brings to mind a white-clad Pythia, the prophetess of Delphi. This ancient Greek character delivered her prophecies in a trance and a language that only priests of the temple knew how to interpret.
IN MUSEUM is performed in the galleries of the MCA exhibition Color Bind, which provides a strong complement of power and simplicity.
About the Artist
Marie Chouinard is a choreographer, dancer, performer, and occasional set, costume, sound, and light designer. Based in Montreal, she has worked since 1978 to build a diverse choreographic corpus that has earned her a central place in the contemporary dance and art scene. The Compagnie Marie Chouinard was established in 1990 and has performed many times on all the great stages of the world and participated in prestigious international festivals. Chouinard has received numerous awards for her contribution to the world of dance and the arts. Most recently, The Conseil des Arts et des lettres du Québec has awarded the first CALQ award for best choreographic work of 2011–2012 to Marie Chouinard for THE GOLDEN MEAN (LIVE). Her travels, her curiosity, her eclectic studies, and her understanding of various techniques allow her to explore the body in different ways. Her works reflect the concerns of this surprising choreographer: her view of dance as a sacred art, her respect for the body as a vehicle of that art, her virtuoso approach to performance and the invention of a different universe for each new piece. Dubbed the high priestess of the avant-garde, Chouinard unites the sensual and cerebral in her stark, iconoclastic, visually stunning works. She continues to add to her repertoire of more than 50 different and highly distinctive works exemplifying her idiosyncratic humor, sexuality, meticulous construction and performance aesthetic.

Going the Distance
Powered by a single MerCruiser 320-HP V-8, the Regal 2950 will cruise at 33-mph with a range of over 200-miles. For jet setters, the top speed is a blistering 59-mph.
Let's Party!
The cockpit's removable snack table is surrounded by a plush circular bench that will seat at least seven adults comfortably, with convenient deep dry stowage areas in the port and starboard transom c
This Round's on Me
The cockpit setup includes the convenience of a wet bar with stainless steel sink and drink racks, plus a recessed 12-volt/110-volt refrigerator.
Drive On
The command helm offers welcomed elbowroom and all of the luxurious appointments that you would expect on a mid-sized Regal, like a burlwood dash panel, a tilt sport steering wheel and a complete arra
Room to Roam
The added beam on this 29-footer creates extra room down below, with a combination v-berth/settee, fully loaded galley and enclosed head.
Style and Grace
With 24-degrees of deadrise aft combined with a FasTrac stepped hull, this platform has excellent acceleration, is great in the turns and is a blast to drive.
Regal 2950 LSC is a Sportboat and More
Just mention the brand Regal and one thing usually comes to mind...the FasTrack hull design. But with the new 2950 LSC you not only get that performance edge, but you also get a rare commodity on a cuddy boat: space.
Regal promises you'll get maximum performance from its standard engine package due to the FasTrack hull. Its unique deep-vee shape really cuts through the water, but it's tempered by the FasTrac bottom that increases stability and helps the boat get up on plane faster.
The roominess on this boat begins in the cabin. It has a surprisingly large cuddy with a V-berth that converts into a settee, a mini-galley to port, and an enclosed head to starboard. The cabin is nicely finished in true Regal fashion with full headliner, side wall coverings, and nicely finished cushions. In my opinion, this boat would be perfect for a weekend getaway with the wife, or a great place for the kids to sleep "out of the house" for a night.
The helm is a nice layout of comfort and style with its burlwood dash and host of full instrumentation and gauges. There's a tilt sport steering wheel and you can run the boat either sitting or standing thanks to the flip up bolster in the doublewide helm seat. I found that operating the boat while standing gave me a greater sense of control and unity with the boat when I put it through the paces. The wraparound windshield also provided great protection from the elements when at high speed.
Opposite the helm is a comfortable passenger seat for your navigator. Just behind is a full wet bar with sink, trash receptacle, and built in cooler space. Opt for the pressurized water option and you'll have running water at this station.
The cockpit is another area that provides surprising space. There's a full wraparound lounge that utilizes the full area of the cockpit wrapping an almost full 240 degrees. With the table insert so you can comfortably seat a full crew of guests or convert it, using the inserts to another spacious sunbed. The rear seat actually doubles as a transom gate making boarding to and from the dive platform very easy. Under the cockpit seats you'll find tons of storage for your gear and the engine is accessed at the flick of a switch, raising the aft portion of the cockpit.
The transom/ dive platform features yacht style storage hatches and there's an integral boarding ladder for those who like to take to the water. The transom is also low and sloped making docking a snap when backing in.
From bow to swim platform, the 2950 runs a full 29 feet with a wide 9-foot beam. Her dry weight is a nimble 5,800 pounds and her draft is only 34" with the drive up. The real number here is the full 24-degree deadrise aft. Not many sportboats on the market are that aggressive and it translates into a serious rough water performance boat. That deep-vee coupled with the FasTrack hull really give some attitude to this boat!
The 2950 popped out of the water in only 5.2 seconds, and once there, ran a blistering 59.3 mph wide open. We found the best and most efficient cruise speed to be 32.9 mph at 3000 rpm although it will be tough for you to keep the throttles back on this one. She's also a blast to drive with great tracking through tight turns at high speed.
Overall, the 2950 LSC is a great choice for a family that wants to have fun, look good doing it, and have a boat that is not only great looking, but great performer

Staying SharpJune 1st, 2009
Unless you're the rare man who fancies a full beard, the morning shave is one personal care routine you can't escape. And whether you see it as a monotonous chore or an onerous task rife with nicks, cuts, and razor burn, you probably don't think of shaving as a meditative ritual. But maybe it's high time for an about-face.

Tyler Ennis a loyal Buffalo Sabre, but there's another team very close to his heart -- the Western Hockey League's Medicine Hat Tigers.
He spent four seasons with the Tigers, including 43 goals in his final two seasons there. He still wears a spandex Medicine Hat shirt under his Sabres jersey, and is following them now in the WHL playoffs. The Tigers beat the Brandon Wheat Kings in the first round, and took a 3-0 lead on the Red Deer Rebels in the second round before losing 1-0 on Wednesday.
Red Deer is the home team of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Central Scouting's top-rated North American forward for the 2011 Entry Draft. Ennis remembered playing against Nugent-Hopkins in the WHL. It was during the 2008-09 season, Ennis' final season, while Nugent-Hopkins was a 15-year-old call-up to Red Deer.
Ennis said it was obvious right away what kind of talent Nugent-Hopkins had. "Sick passes, sick plays with the puck," Ennis recalled for NHL.com.
Ennis, an Edmonton native, had some advice for his hometown NHL team, which holds the first pick in June's Draft.
"He'd be my pick if I was making it," he said.

This photograph shows Neil E. Goldschmidt (right) with Mr. T. Yamamoto, President of Fujitsu Microelectronics,. Inc., in August 1987. Mr. Yamamoto was in Oregon to announce the company's intention to build a semiconductor wafer fabrication plant in Gresham.
Best known for "The Oregon Comeback" during his governorship (1987-1991) that involved the revitalization of the state's economy, Neil Goldschmidt also served as Portland City Commissioner (1971-1973), Portland Mayor (1973-1979), and the U.S. Secretary of Transportation during the Carter administration (1979-1981).
Goldschmidt was born in Eugene, Oregon, on June 16, 1940. Graduating from South Eugene High School, Goldschmidt went on to receive his B.A. in political science from the University of Oregon in 1963. In 1967, Goldschmidt earned his law degree from the University of California Berkeley's Boalt School of Law and eventually his honorary doctorate from the University of Portland in 1980. During his years at the University of Oregon, Goldschmidt worked as an intern in Washington, D.C., for former Oregon Senator Maurine Neuberger in 1964. During the summer of 1964, Goldschmidt was enlisted for the voter registration work in the freedom summer civil rights campaign in Mississippi.
After working as a legal aid attorney in Portland from 1967 to 1969, Goldschmidt began his political career when he was elected City Commissioner and served from 1971 to 1973. In 1973, at the age of 32, Goldschmidt was elected to serve as mayor of Portland. While Goldschmidt was mayor, Portland became a national model for public transportation as both light rail and a new transit center were constructed. Goldschmidt also worked to preserve old Portland neighborhoods, revitalize dilapidated housing, and diversify Portland's economy.
In 1979, President Jimmy Carter appointed Goldschmidt Secretary of Transportation. At the end of Carter's term in 1981, Goldschmidt returned to Oregon and joined the Nike Corporation until 1986 when he entered the Oregon gubernatorial race. He won the election by a margin of 52 to 48 percent on the promise of economic growth and expansion.
During Goldschmidt's tenure as governor from 1987 to 1991, he reinvigorated the state's economy through a series of reforms aimed at creating a favorable economic atmosphere for business development by bolstering the state's deteriorating infrastructure. Goldschmidt also created new ties with markets and economies world-wide including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, France, and Germany. Furthermore, Goldschmidt forged a program to promote rural economic development. Unlike previous Oregon governors such as Tom McCall, for Goldschmidt environmental concerns were often secondary to revitalizing the state's economy.
Since the completion of his first and only term as governor, Goldschmidt runs a small law practice that specializes in strategic planning and problem solving for national and international businesses. He has also served on the board of several corporations, and the Oregon Health & Science University. In 1991, Goldschmidt and the Ater Wynne Hewitt Dodson & Skerrit law firm established the Oregon Children's Foundation, which organizes programs like "Start Making a Reader Today" (SMART) to help children learn to read.
In 2004, the Willamette Week reported that Goldschmidt had carried on an affair with his fourteen-year old babysitter while he was mayor of Portland in the 1970s. Goldschmidt immediately resigned from many of his public boards.

Published Sunday, October 14, 2012
There is wisdom to be gained by reflecting on the past.
My mind often takes me down memory lane to memories that can contribute much to the living of a better life in today's world.
It seems to me that, back then, we worked harder at the art of living the good life than we do today.
For example, if a young boy seemed to be too puffed up with himself, he was described as "getting too big for his breeches."
That was all that needed to be said. He knew he was too sassy in his speech, and too filled up with himself.
In short, he needed to be brought back down to earth.
It was a lesson that would send him onward to learning the wise adult saying: "A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small package."
The Apostle Paul, in his great wisdom, said it another way: "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think (Romans 3:3)."
That is a pertinent word for all of us. And although said, in another way, I recall the dear elderly lady sitting on the front row of her church when a new, young "hot shot full of himself" preacher entered the pulpit and was a total flop.
He tucked his head and hurriedly left through a side door. The old lady said, "I knew when I saw him come up on the platform, he had his wick turned up too high."

Everybody Goes Pog Wild In 'Regular Show' #12 [Preview]
If you're like most of us at ComicsAlliance, there's a good chance that you remember that fleeting year or so in the mid '90s when comic shops were overflowing with the heavily-decorated circular disks known as pogs, plus all of their prevalent slammer, mat and "pogtainer" accessories. Well, get stoked on a kind of resurgence next week as Regular Show #12 fills both physical and digital retailers with the flip-em-to-win-em items once again… only not quite the way you think. See how KC Green and artist Alison Strejlau have teamed to exploit your pogstalgia — and, in many ways, warn a generation that hasn't experienced them of the wickendess of pogs — with our first-look preview.
From Boom!'s official synopsis:
Mordecai, Skips, and the others have been challenged by the 90s to an ultimate game of Pogs in order to save Rigby! But can they defeat the '90s at its own game?
You can get a first look at five pages from Regular Show #12, plus all four of its variant covers by Matt Cummings, Felicia Choo, Jon Morris and Manuel Kilger below.
No, the issue itself doesn't include any pog pack-ins, but that sure does seem like a fine idea for the trade paperback or deluxe hardcover down the road… eh Boom!?
Seriously, please give us Regular Show pogs.

this movie defines the late 1980s when punk was on its way out and punk rocker's only way out was the world ending. Matthew Lillard was astonishing as this smart-mouth yet knowledgeable punk rocker. Great movie, great plot, acting all top notch definitely worth getting into. Awesome!!

Gallbladder problems?
Right now I'm feeling ok and want to avoid the hydascan because the dye has caused me yo have a rapid heartbeat in the past. The doctor says as long as I can handle it, it will be ok to take a break and let my body rest.
Has anyone suffered from gallbladder issues and opted nit to have the surgery? Did a low fat or non greasy food diet help? What have you done to deal with the issue without surgery?
My gallbladder fuctions at only 20%. I was told that I had to have it removed. I refused. I am now eating a very healthy diet with hardly any problems at all. I have a green smoothie with a vegetable protien powder and probiotics for breakfast. A salad with a high protien, low fat topper (like homemade taco meat or grilled fish). I've gotten to the point where I don't really miss the fatty, salty, greasy foods. (Except around the time Aunt Flo comes for a visit.) If you want a detailed menu plan on what I have tried so you have some sort of starting point, let me know.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Jon Howard is nothing if not consistent.
Since he first took the oath of office as a city commissioner in 1993, Howard has never -- not even once -- voted in support of issuing an alcohol license.
Howard has voted no for every business owner who has appeared before the commission seeking to sell alcohol at his or her store. He has voted against every attempt by restaurants to serve liquor by the drink. Most recently, Howard even voted against retail giant
Wal-Mart's application to sell alcohol at its new store -- a store that is bringing more than 200 new jobs to his economically deprived ward.
So, why does he do it?
"It's not that I'm against alcohol. I've just seen what it does and what happens to people when they can't control themselves," Howard said. "It just leads to trouble. Crime, decay, everything ... Alcohol is more of a problem than a solution."
Currently the longest-serving elected official in city government, Howard doesn't discriminate when it comes to voting down alcohol.
When a charitable organization comes before the commission seeking a one-day permit to sell alcohol at a fundraising events, Howard's distinct voice is always heard -- most often speaking alone -- saying simply "one no," when the measure is put to the vote.
Sissy Kelly, the assistant city clerk, chuckled when asked by The Albany Herald how many no votes Howard has cast against alcohol-related issues.
"You're kidding right?" she said. "That would take a lot of time ... I mean a lot of time. You're talking about votes that go back to the mid-1990s."
When pressed, Kelly reluctantly estimated that it would be feasible to estimate that Howard's no votes are likely nearing the 1,000 mark.
In fact, the only vote that Howard will tell you that has even a remote connection to alcohol that he has supported came early in his political career when he voted in support of a measure that would change the city charter and code of ordinances to allow the spouses or relatives of sitting city commissioners to be eligible for alcohol permits for their businesses.
"Just because you're related to an elected official doesn't mean you don't have a right to run your own business," Howard said. "Now that elected official should probably abstain or disclose that relationship, but it shouldn't stop the full commission from considering it, you know."
It's gotten to the point that when Howard is silent following the call for a vote on an alcohol license, it tends to catch his fellow commissioners off guard.
At a recent City Commission meeting, the board was considering a host of retail alcohol licenses. When Albany Mayor Willie Adams called for the question, he heard the traditional chorus of "ayes" but when he asked for any nos, the room fell silent.
"Jon, you missed one," Adams said.
"No I didn't, I said 'one no',' Howard said.
"Oh, I thought we might have been witnessing history," Adams said, with a grin.

Craft Beer Corner
Bell's Kalamazoo Stout
by Cory Byrom
(Editor's note: Cory Byrom, local craft beer enthusiast and home brewer from Peachtree City, shares his opinions on craft beer from all over the world.)
After college, when I first started discovering the world of beer outside of $2.99 six-packs of Hamm's and five-dollar pitchers of PBR, stouts were my first love. Pitch-black and viscous, they were such a far cry from the cheap, thin, corn-heavy beers I was used to. I was drawn to the roasty flavor, and how often you'd find more creative ingredients, like coffee and chocolate. Stouts felt like an indulgence, even though, calorically speaking, Guinness, the most popular stout in the world, is actually lighter than the vast majority of craft beers. All things considered, I've probably had more varieties of stout than any other beer style.
Bell's Brewery from Kalamazoo, Michigan has four stouts in their lineup, so naturally I've spent a lot of time with a glass of Bell's beer in front of me. Of those four, Kalamazoo Stout is the only one in their year-round lineup. The other three are sprinkled throughout their seasonal and specialty releases, and offer variations that play up the various strengths of the stout, be it with the addition of cherries, higher alcohol content, or pushing the creamy texture to its extreme. They're all tasty. But Kalamazoo Stout is their most straightforward, a stout-drinker's stout, but for one unique ingredient that, unfortunately, could be a deal breaker for some. It's a 6% ABV stout, full of roasted malt, light on the hops, and with just a hint of licorice. Unless you really hate licorice, though, I beg you not to let that scare you off.
It pours about as black as any stout I've seen. Light doesn't even make a dent in this one. I was disappointed to see almost no head, which is common with high-abv stouts, but at 6%, this one would really benefit from a nice dense head on top. No such luck, though the carbonation level isn't as light as I'd expected after pouring. Until a few bubbles gathered at the end of the pour, I was worried I had a bad bottle. But sipping revealed just enough carbonation to carry the flavors over my tongue.
The aroma hits all the stout high points. The roasted grain is front and center, with hints of coffee and chocolate, and that brewer's licorice rounding out the end. The flavor spins it around, with the licorice up front, but quickly spreading to the others. There are hints of cola in there as well, only reinforced by the dark color. It goes down smooth and finishes dry, so even though the licorice is certainly there, you don't get any candy overtones. There's nothing cloying or syrupy about this one.
Bell's Kalamazoo Stout is surprisingly straightforward given the licorice addition. Many people are going to see that on the label and think twice, but even though licorice is a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it flavor, its use here is subtle enough that stout fans should approach with an open mind. While not an exceptional stout, Kalamazoo knows its strengths and delivers what a lot of stout drinkers like myself are looking for: familiar flavors with a touch of the unique. - B -

Ohio Plays Let's Make a Deal with the U.S. Department of Education on No Child Left Behind
Ohio is playing let's make a deal with the U.S. Department of Education. Ohio wants freedom from some of the provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. In return, the feds want Ohio to promise to make changes in the state's education policy.
Ohio and 25 other states and the District of Columbia applied for No Child Left Behind waivers earlier this year. The feds have already approved waivers for 11 other states. Ohio's proposal would eliminate the expectation that 100 percent of students pass reading and math tests by 2014, and make a number of other changes affecting public schools.
The part of Ohio's waiver application facing the most opposition here in Ohio is a new proposed school grading system. The new system would award schools letter grades rather than terms like "continuous improvement," and it would make it much harder for schools to get As.
But the feds aren't so worried about that particular change.
In an April 17 letter to the Ohio Department of Education, federal officials say Ohio's application was "particularly strong in providing empirical evidence for its proposed accountability system." Ohio also gets kudos for how it would identify low-performing schools and for its "strong foundation in developing and implementing teacher and principal evaluation and support systems."
What the feds are worried about in Ohio's application is:
- How Ohio schools will teach English language learners and students with disabilities using new, tougher Common Core standards;
- How the state will help low-performing schools improve; and
- How efforts to help low-performing schools and school districts "fit together into a coherent plan."
Several other states are facing similar questions, Education Week says.
The U.S. Department of Education told Ohio officials last month they need to address those questions before Secretary of Education Arne Duncan can approve Ohio's waiver application.
Ohio Department of Education spokesperson Patrick Gallaway says Ohio will tweak its waiver application in response to the feds' feedback. The Ohio Department of Education "appreciates the feedback and is taking the suggestions made into consideration as we provide clarification back to [the U.S. Department of Education," he says.
And Gallaway notes that it's up to state lawmakers -- not federal officials -- to approve the new school grading system:
"It is not a change that has ever been contingent on the approval of our waiver request."

I learned the value of voting my conscience way back when I was a sophomore at Carbon High School. Being a country boy from the wilds of south Wellington, I had never seen anything quite like a big high school election before. There was a blue candidate and a white candidate for student body president because those were the school colors. There were blue and white signs all over the school urging me to vote for the respective candidates, and pretty girls were trolling the halls passing out blue and white armbands so we could all show our political affiliation. Of course, the armband I accepted had more to do with the charm of a pretty girl than any inclination to vote a certain way. My white armband was a flag of surrender. Good campaign workers are important when it comes to winning elections.
And then, at the very height of election fever, I ran into Dave the janitor. Some of you senior citizens will remember Dave. He was the nicest old guy - probably in his 40s when I knew him. Dave was small in stature, always smiling, and going about his business keeping the sacred halls of Carbon spotless. He always wore a green shirt and pants, an unofficial uniform, and I remember him trudging along with a mop bucket in tow, on his way to clean up the latest mess some kid had made in the cafeteria. Dave was a custodial first responder.
Dave saw me wearing the white armband the pretty girl had seduced me into wearing. He smiled because he knew what had happened.
"You gonna do right and vote white?" he grinned, parroting the official campaign slogan.
"I guess," I said sheepishly.
"You can always vote for me," he said. "Vote green. I'll keep your toilet clean."
Being a green candidate had a different meaning in those days. Being green might mean you were sick, or from Mars or something. Come to think of it, for me, the meaning hasn't changed all that much over the years. Anyway, Dave said he was running for student body president on the green ticket but his name wasn't on the ballot and he didn't have any green armbands or pretty girls to hand them out. If we wanted Dave to be our fearless leader we would have to write him in.
"Why should I vote for you?" I asked.
"Because I'm your humble servant," he said with a big smile. "Those other guys want to stand in the spotlight and lead the parade. I unlock the doors, scrub the floors, and do the chores. I'll work for you. I already do. I can be the school president, too."
I laughed at Dave, but what he said stayed with me for a long, long time. Dave was absolutely right. Jesus said it, too. He who would be greatest among us should be our humble servant. Since talking with Dave, I've always tried to judge political candidates by his measure. Is the motive service, or self?
Isn't it funny? During my high school days I had dozens of highly educated, well-trained, professional teachers. And yet, one of the people who made the biggest impression on my young life was Dave, a school janitor. I learned a great deal during my brief discussions with Dave as he pulled his mop bucket through the halls or danced with his broom in the auditorium. That good man was a humorist, a philosopher, and a pragmatist all in one. He taught me some valuable lessons about life through his insights, humor, wry sarcasm, poetry, and parables.
I never told anybody, but I voted for Dave to be student body president back in 1963. It's the only time I ever voted for a green candidate.
Thank you, Dave. Wherever you are.

Director Guillermo del Toro's survival horror title couldn't survive THQ's chopping block.
The beleaguered publisher has been delaying or cancelling several projects lately and despite an earlier denial that del Toro's inSane was no longer in developer at THQ, word came down today from its president Jason Rubin that they are no longer pursuing the project.
The news first surfaced on the Twitter feed of Giant Bomb news editor Patrick Klepek that THQ announced the cancellation. Several other sources confirmed that Rubin made the announcement in an investor conference call.
THQ and Volition first announced the title back in 2010 with a trailer during Spike's Video Game Awards, but no other footage or screenshots has surfaced since that announcement.
The good news is that del Toro still retains the rights to the game and can shop it around to another studio or developer and hopefully pick up right where THQ left off with it.

'''Gross rating point''' (GRP) is a term used in traditional [[advertising]] to measure the size of an [[audience]] reached by a specific [[Media (communication)|media]] vehicle or schedule. It is the product of the percentage of the target audience [[Reach (advertising)|reached]] by an advertisement, times the [[Effective frequency|frequency]] they see it in a given campaign (frequency × % reached). For example, a [[television advertisement]] that is aired 5 times reaching 50% of the target audience each time it is aired would have a GRP of 250 (5 × 50%).

 GRP values are commonly used by [[Media buying|media buyers]] to compare the advertising strength of various media vehicles.

As much as I like the design, the size and the weight, these earrings are cheap. I am not willing to pay that much money for something that looks and feels cheap.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Ashley Worholic is hoping to keep the Miss Clayland Scholarship Pageant's string of good fortune going when she steps onto the stage of Mansfield's Renaissance Theater on Thursday.
Ashley Worholic is hoping to keep the Miss Clayland Scholarship Pageant's string of good fortune going when she steps onto the stage of Mansfield's Renaissance Theater on Thursday.
Warholic, of Mansfield, will represent the local pageant in this year's Miss Ohio competition, which runs Thursday through Saturday.
Three of the last four Miss Ohio winners competed as Miss Clayland. They are Ellen Bryan, the reigning Miss Ohio; Karissa Martin, 2008; and Erica Gelhaus, 2009.
This year will mark the fourth time Warholic has competed in the Miss Ohio Pageant, and win or lose it will also be the final time.
"I'll be too old," said Warholic, a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, where she majored in public relations and earned a double minor in marketing and leadership studies.
In her three previous appearances in Miss Ohio, Warholic was not among the top 10 finalists.
First up for Warholic on Thursday will be the talent competition, followed Friday by appearances in evening gown and swim suit.
Warholic, who has studied dance since she was in eighth grade, will present a character number set to music from the Broadway show "Sister Act."
"I'll be dancing to the song 'Fabulous Baby'," Warholic said. "It's a fun, very uptempo number in which I portray a Las Vegas showgirl."
Warholic said she considers the interview with the judges to be the most important phase of competition, and also her favorite.
"The interview gives you the opportunity to show your personality to the judges," she said. "It's your chance to make them laugh, make them fall in love with you."
Equally important to Warholic is her platform, "Creating Strong Leaders for Tomorrow."
"I believe this is important," said Warholic. "When I was in high school, I was involved with the Family Career and Community Leaders of America organization and my love of leadership stems from that. "
Warholic is employed in the admissions office at Ashland University, and she said her years of competition prove helpful on a daily basis.
"When you're in a job that involves speaking with people on a daily basis, all of those years of interview preparation really do come into play," she said.
By participating in such competitions, "you can learn life-long skills," Warholic said.
She feels the pageant remains relevant, and said she is glad to see the national event back on one of the major networks.
"I'm absolutely glad to see it on ABC," Warholic said. "I believe the pageant focuses on things that are important in today's society."
Also important to Warholic are the scholarship funds she has received over the years. "I've earned close to $10,000 in scholarships," she said.
Page 2 of 2 - Warholic said she'll have a large group supporting her, including her parents, Lorri and Tony Warholic. However, her younger brother, David, probably won't be in the audience.
"We have an agreement," said Warholic. "He has never had to go to a pageant, and I have never had to go to any of his motorcycle shows. We're OK with that."

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed the first functional oxide thin films that can be used efficiently in electronics, opening the door to an array of new high-power devices and smart sensors. This is the first time that researchers have been able to produce positively charged (p-type) conduction and negatively charged (n-type) conduction in a single oxide material, launching a new era in oxide electronics.
To make functional electronic devices, you need materials with a "p-n junction," where the positively charged and negatively charged materials meet. Solid state silicon electronics achieved this decades ago, but are limited by the amount of power and temperature they can handle. Oxide materials are an attractive alternative to silicon because they can handle more power.
However, attempts to pair different p-type and n-type oxide materials previously ran into problems at the interface of the two materials the p-n junction was always inefficient.
"We avoided this problem by using the same material for p- and n-type conduction," says Dr. Jay Narayan, the John C. Fan Distinguished Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the research. "This is a new era in oxide electronics."
Specifically, Narayan's team used lasers to create positively charged nickel oxide (NiO) thin films, then converted the top layer of those films to n-type. Because they could control the thickness of the n-layer, the researchers were able to control the depth and characteristics of the p-n junction. "This spatial and temporal selectivity provides unprecedented control to 'write' p-n junctions by laser beams and create ultra high-density device features for oxide electronics," Narayan says.
By enabling the development of oxide electronics, the research allows for the creation of a host of new technologies in a wide array of fields. For example, because oxides

Questions and Answers About Meditation, Yoga, the Spiritual Life, and More
An Unpleasant Meditation Experience
I was doing some heart meditation following a YouTube video (I was trying to study but feeling too stressed so I thought some meditation could help), but I actually had all these bad feelings. It felt like my chest was too heavy and I felt an urge to open my eyes.
Do you have any idea why?
I'm not an expert of yoga or meditation at all, actually I've started being interested in it only recently...
Dear Kate,
Not all meditation practices are equally effective for everyone. Apparently you found one that did not suit what you needed at the time. You mention that you were feeling extremely stressed when you started. You probably could have used a technique to help you relax your body and your breathing before you started.
You don't mention anything about what this heart meditation was, but I suggest you try another type of meditation. You can find a very simple meditation technique that is extremely effective for bringing peace of mind here: http://www.ananda.org/meditation/learn/technique.html. See if you find it helpful.
On that same page, you can also choose to watch instruction in meditation by Swami Kriyananda or sign up for an online course.

Another big name to shut its Tivvy shop
Posted: July 03, 2012|
INNOVATIVE solutions are needed to help bring vitality back to Tiverton's high street, according to traders.
Shoe firm Stead & Simpson is the latest retailer to announce its shop will close.
That comes amid uncertainty about the future of Clinton Cards, which is in the hands of an administrator, and follows the closure of Vacation World's town centre shop five weeks ago.
Staff at other Fore Street businesses say they hope more familiar big name stores will replace those which have closed.
But the town's trading body believes a different approach is needed to prevent a gradual drain of the big boys from the town.
Laura Adcock, a supervisor with clothes shop New Look, said some areas of the market were not well catered for in Tiverton.
She said: "We get customers asking about men's and kid's clothing and because there aren't many places to get those items in town, they tend to go elsewhere."
She said only certain retailers were big enough to be able to afford large town centre premises and more is needed to be done to encourage them to move in.
Sharon Radley, supervisor at Holland & Barratt, felt shops popular with younger people and more attractions in the town centre would encourage people to support shops.
She said customer transactions and footfall were both down on last year, indicating that economic recovery was still a way off.
Aaron Franklin, deputy manager of Phones4U, said the closure of well-known stores at the Angel Hill end of Fore Street had affected the number of visitors the shop received.
He said: "We don't see as many people at this end of town, because they don't have much reason to come up here other than for Boots and Poundstretcher. Since Poundstretcher opened that has helped a bit."
The premises next door to the mobile phone shop was until recently occupied by travel firm Vacation World, whose closure at the end of May came as a shock.
"I came in that morning and by the time I went out at lunch, they had received a phone call and had closed the business, it happened as quick as that and was a real shock," Mr Franklin said.
The 24-year-old said he felt a shop selling CDs would be a good addition to the current selection of traders.
Car parking charges within the town are also an issue. Speaking at a recent meeting where rises which come info force this week were discussed, Councillor Mary Turner said she wanted to see "Tiverton buzz like it did before".
Writing in the first of a new column for the Gazette, the Tiverton Trade Association says the high rents demanded by landlords for town centre retail space need to be reduced to make Tiverton a more attractive place to do business.
Large town centre stores likes Waterstone's and Peacocks in Market Walk remain unoccupied after several months because landlords are demanding unrealistic rates from prospective tenants, the traders argue.
Stead & Simpson was founded more than 175 years as a leather merchants, but quickly expanded into manufacturing boots and shoes.
Four years ago, the Leicester-based firm went into administration and was acquired by the Shoe Zone Group.
A spokesperson for Shoe Zone confirmed the Tiverton store would be closing but declined to make any further comment or say how many jobs would be affected.
Mid Devon District Council learnt in March that the district had been awarded £100,000 in Government money through a High Street Innovation Fund. Discussion on how the money will be spent are ongoing.
Tiverton MP Neil Parish said he was very disappointed that Stead & Simpson was closing.
"Tiverton needs a broad mix of shops," he said.
"I support the trade association's call for rents to be reduced so they reflect the tough trading conditions and encourage more independent and national operators. Attracting more shops to Tiverton will be good for the town and will increase the value of commercial properties in the long run."

Today, River Phoenix would have been 43 years old. I still remember waking up that morning after Halloween 1993 to the news of his death. He was and still is my favorite actor. I have never seen anyone as good as he was. Even in his lesser roles. He was definitely the best actor of his generation. Ask most of his peers and they will likewise say the same. There will never be anyone like River. I was unfortunate to never have the chance to meet him but have had a chance to work with a few people who did know him. They each say that he was very much the sweet, kind, and sensitive soul as he was portrayed in the press. Aside from his acting, I respect him for his charity works, He was a huge animal lover and cared for the environment. This was another thing that I am told was from his heart.
Rest In Peace and Happy Birthday, River August 23, 1970 to October 31, 1993.
I also wrote a hub on hubpages regarding what I feel are two of his most overlooked film roles http://bat115.hubpages.com/hub/River-Phoenix-1970-1993

Just stopped by the Burlington chargers and a member of the deployment team was there making sure they all work properly. Chatted with him for a bit and took a couple pictures. Very cool to see the SC's in the flesh with electrons flowing!
He mentioned something about next Tuesday too but I assumed that was when they would list them as live on the Tesla site. I hope they have some kind of ceremony though. I know SC openings will get to be much more common but the first few in each state should have some fanfare! ;-)
I agree Grand Openings should happen! Wonderful news!
I will plan on Tuesday as I need to visit a gallery in LaConner. Now I can make the trip from Gig Harbor without the overnight.
I'm going to Bellingham tomorrow. Ill stop by just in case it's open.
Stopped by the Burlington super charger today. Plugged in and charged at a rate of about 165 miles per hour. But only for 5 minutes. That's when someone from the Fairfield Inn came out and told me (and another model s that had pulled in) that Tesla had asked that no one charge until the grand opening on Thursday gather 18th. I really didn't need to charge anyway.
Pulled in today. No cones, no tape, no other cars. Charged for 25 minutes, gained 70 miles. Plenty to get back to Seattle. No one came out from Inn. One driver did pull in to watch, said he was waiting for his second charger before taking delivery of his S.
First ever SC experience was quick and easy!
So is there going to be an official opening ceremony and if so what is the date/time? What is the source of your info? I am thinking of going but don't want it to be a wild electron chase.
Thursday at 10am is the word on the tmc forums.
Looks like it is a press event for the press and not owners. Not sure how to reason with this.
source=Tesla sales support Fremont. One would think owners would be most welcome and they would want a large contingency of Model S showing up. They have certainly made an effort to keep the event quiet. Hmmm?
I got an invitation to the ribbon cutting event on Thursday at 10am. Would love to make it, but I'm not sure I can leave work that time of day... My guess is that anyone who wants to could show up although they did ask for an RSVP
You can be my guests, let me know how many would like to come :) I'll RSVP
We are excited to announce our first Supercharger location in Washington. This newest addition to the Tesla Supercharger network will open Thursday, July 18th in Burlington, WA. To commemorate this important milestone for Tesla and our Pacific Northwest community, we would like to invite you, your family and your friends to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony and celebrate with us.

Farthest stall to the right as you face the stalls has no power tonight. :(
Did you contact Tesla?
I used the right most stall (when facing stalls) on Sunday afternoon 9/29 and it worked ok.
I plugged in at Burlington in the left-most (head in) unit. I started with 40 rated miles left. After one hour the car had gained 170 miles to 210 rated miles. I had the car set to only charge to 230 miles. I wonder what would have happened if the car was set to charge to max range. Would I have gotten more than 170 miles gained?
I tend to use that head-in slot and usually get more charge than that.
Couldn't charge on 2A tonight. Kept getting message unable to charge. Tried unplugging and plugging twice. Moved to 4A and all was well. Called Tesla to report it.
Three cars there today (counting mine). First time I have seen three cars at a WA supercharger... Have seen 1 other car at Ellensburg, Centralia, and Burlington before.
Couldn't charge on 4B today about noon. 3B worked OK. Charged again on way back home about 6PM but did not try 4B.
Reported 4B problem to tesla.
