2012 DECEMBER 21 AND BEYOND-WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN ! (best of-compilation of important informations)
- Uploaded by SterlingRose on Dec 24, 2012
- Views: 497
Experts on the subject (scientists and others) give us important information about what should happen after December 21, 2012 and beyond ...
December 21, 2012 is not the end of the world, but the end of the world as we know it, for a new world, a new era.
We can realize that the final "Apocalypse" (which in greek mean "revelation") (we are in it since a few years) mentioned in the bible, coincides with the end of Mayan calendar and prophecies of various ancient civilizations whose knowledge were very advanced.
We can also realize that all these prophecies information and scientific data, all converge to the same date, there is no hazard.
the Event that will occur from this date is called in various ways depending on the source: Awakening, revelation, the shift, ascension, zero point, window of opportunity, The Coming Singularity, the return of the gods ... etc.

Additional product details
For educational administration and leadership students studying school and community relations.
A contemporary and practice-based school public relations text that centers on the importance of communication, relationships, and technology.
Outfitting students with a wealth of practical, practice-based knowledge that they can take directly into the halls of their school, the new fifth edition of Public Relations in Schools has a fresh, contemporary focus on both how administrators can effectively communicate with the community and how building strong relationships with stakeholders can ultimately lead to overall school improvement. Through a blend of theoretical and tacit knowledge, this text offers students an in-depth guide to 1) how to successfully communicate with both internal and external school entities, 2) how to build and maintain positive and active relationships via social and political capital and 3) how to translate the value of these relationships into positive change within the school. While exploring these three central themes, the book emphasizes how new technologies can aid school success. At the same time, real-world case studies at the beginning of each chapter introduce readers to actual public relations issues and bring the material to life.
The revised fifth edition of Public Relations in Schools is updated with new materials and references throughout the text, including two new chapters — one on harnessing technology for your public relations needs and one on collecting, assessing, and applying public opinion. In addition, the new fifth edition text contains a matrix at the front of the book showing how content relates to ELCC/NCATE Standards — the widely used criteria for administrator preparation and licensing.

Got Depo shot at 6 week checkup
Son doesn't seem satisfied...now his diaper count is lower. Still well within the range...but he had tonsss of diapers before.
I started drinking mothers milk tea (gross!) eating oatmeal..not seeing as change yet =(
Anything you'd recommend?
Hopefully that's what it is though!
Quoting PolishMamma2: At 6 weeks its pprobably a growth spurt!!!
Quoting Y2kmomma: He doesn't seem to be eating more though.
Hopefully that's what it is though!
Quoting PolishMamma2: At 6 weeks its pprobably a growth spurt!!!
Never look for satisfied. Especially in a six week old; they're almost as nasty as three week olds. **grin**
Dipe count needs to be at least six. Are you getting that? If so, then supply is OK and nothing you're taking will make a difference. Diaper count normally drops.
Depo CAN cause supply issues in some moms; those moms will also be negatively effective by ANYTHING hormonal and are best off with condoms or Paragard.
Quoting Precious333: Also avoid herbs that lower supply, like parsley I believe is one.
And anything in the mint family, and eucalyptus.
Margarett RBC Zavodny
I couldn't find steel cut oats anywhere. So got regular old fashioned Quaker oats. Will this work?
Couldn't find peaches, guessing they aren't in season. Will canned work?
I also stupidly got poppy seeds instead of sesame seeds...oops. Lol I should have wrote it down instead of trying to memorize.
Quoting MusherMaggie: If you feel you need to, there are some simple foods that are milk-makers; steel cut oatmeal, peaches, macadamia nuts and sesame seeds to name a few. Look up "galactagogues" on kellymom.com for more.

The Global Dynamics of Regenerative Medicine
A Social Science Critique
Edited by Andrew Webster
|Publication Date
|March 2013
|Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF) Hardcover
|Palgrave Macmillan
|Health, Technology and Society
Contemporary developments in the biosciences associated with new biological possibilities have generated considerable interest among the social sciences, primarily because they challenge our understanding of the relationship between the body, nature, and identity. Regenerative medicine is such a field, and has attracted major commercial, clinical, political and popular interest. It has, however, been subject to very limited social science analysis. This book explores the hype and promise associated with the field, the uneven and often failed commercial exploitation we have seen, and the political, legal and bioethical challenges that developments in the regenerative medicine field produce. It does this at a global level, including analysis of what we are seeing in the US, Europe, China and Australia. The book establishes the meaning, boundaries and likely future development we will see, and asks whether regenerative medicine heralds a new paradigm for medicine itself.

By TOM LEA
MADISON – Bradie Ewing was quick to point out how instrumental the coaching staff was during his time in Madison when he joined the Badger Hour Tuesday night. He attributed some of the success former walk-ons — like himself — have had to the way the coaching staff demands personal accountability.
He talked about his growth throughout his time in the program and his rise from back up running back to scholarship fullback captain. He then mentioned how he couldn't have done it without Bret Bielema and his coaching staff giving him an opportunity to succeed.
Ewing also mentioned how difficult it's going to be for the Badgers to replace the six departed assistants that left the UW program following UW's 45-38 loss to Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
"I know it will be a challenge," Ewing said. "It's tough, but I mean they have spring ball to adjust to that and I think Coach Bielema showed last year when he had the opportunity to bring in new coaches that he brings in good guys that are going to continue to (develop) their players."
Matt Canada, Zach Azzanni, Mike Markuson, Ben Strickland, Andy Buh and Eddie Faulkner round out the new crop of assistant coaches that have the tall task of replacing a staff that helped guide UW to back-to-back Big Ten championships and Rose Bowl's.
Former offensive coordinator Paul Chryst— and mastermind behind UW's ridiculous 40-plus point average each of the past two years — has moved on to coach the Pittsburgh Panthers.
That, at least in Ewing's mind, is going to be tough to replace.
"He's great at using his talents," Ewing said. "Guys have different skill sets and he finds a ay to make a personnel grouping or make certain plays to use those talents. I think he did that great with me. He's a great guy to be around and I wish him nothing but the best at Pitt and I think he'll have a very successful career there.
"He's definitely somebody I want to stay in contact with."

November 30, 2015
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida A program to help struggling Florida homeowners will begin accepting application in February.
The Hardest Hit program targets unemployed and underemployed
homeowners. The money can be used to make mortgage payments for up to 18 months or to make a delinquent loan current. Officials say
the idea is to give people breathing room to focus on getting a job and back on their feet.
The money - which goes directly to the lenders - does not need to be paid back unless the home is sold within five years or the homeowner goes into foreclosure.
Florida received $1 billion for the program from a federal fund aimed at areas that were hardest hit by the real estate bust and low unemployment. Officials estimate they can help about 20,000 Floridians.

So it seems that the Saga has gained some popularity, not to mention that some of my friends have become very interested in this bike because of their generosity. I was expecting to get the frame shipped to me while I was in the States, but they were behind orders for 54 frames. I'm still in the States, preparing to return and just got notice of the arrival of my frame to my home in Shanghai.
I am so stoked, after many emails, to finally get a hold of Stan at Soma Fab – they have granted me a fantastic Saga for the tour.

Students may not be happy about it, but the winter of 2012-13 has been kind to area school districts.
Most have yet to reach the limit on their allotted calamity days for this school year, and with spring less than two weeks away, they probably won't.
Wednesday's winter storm, which dropped less snow than was forecast across the region, convinced many school districts to take the day off, but others simply instituted a two-hour morning delay. ...

Eric Young meets with MVP in the back and MVP is praising EY. EY says he's defending his belt tonight. MVP leaves and comes back with Mr. Anderson, Gunner, and Bobby Roode. MVP says they will draw cards to see who wrestles first. It's Mr. Anderson vs Gunner in match 1, then Roode will face the winner and after that, EY will face the winner of match 2.
Magnus is in the ring whining about not being a part of what happened with the card draw and him not being in the mix. Magnus calls out MVP, but it's Abyss who comes through the crowd and starts to beat Magnus down and finishes Magnus off with a huge choke slam.
The crowd chants "We want Janice". Abyss gets Janice and Magnus runs for the back.
Mike Tenay and Taz are at the announce table as always.
Bully Ray's music hits and Bully comes out carrying a table. Shots of Dixie Carter pushing Bully off the turn buckle and into the table at Sacrifice are shown. When Bully gets in the ring, the table he's carrying has the name Dixie spray painted on it.
Bully "promises" that if he sees Dixie in the building tonight, Dixie will be going through the table that has her name spray painted on it.
We go outside and see Dixie pull up in a limo and enter the building.
Rockstar Spud is in the back with Dixie and he tries to hide her. She says Bully is all bark and no bite. She says that she is his boss and doesn't take kindly to being threatened.
First match of the night is up.
First out is Mr. Anderson and after he fumbles the mic, he does his own intro. Pictures of Anderson defeating the Creepy Bastard Samuel Shaw at Sacrifice.
Next out it's Gunner and a picture recap of his match with James Storm is shown.
Mr. Anderson vs. Gunner
The winner of this match has to face Bobby Roode and then the winner of that match will face Eric Young for the TNA Heavyweight Championship.
Slow paced match from the start. Neither one does much to gain any advantage. Gunner went to the top rope but has to jump down because James Storm comes out. Storm inadvertently hits Anderson with a kick to the head and Gunner gets the pin.
Storm walks off with a who cares smirk on his face.
Winner of the match by pin fall: Gunner
So later tonight we will have Gunner vs Roode.
EC3 on the mic saying that he has his dream match - against Kurt Angle. Carter brags about having put Angle out of action and says he's glad that Angle is back because he can't be validated until he beats Angle in the ring.
Carter says he needs a sparring partner and it's gonna be Rockstar Spud who comes out in amateur ring gear plus his bow tie. This is an exhibition match.
Taz says they are doing amateur wrestling 101.
Tenay says enough of this nonsense as Kurt Angle's music plays.
Angle lets EC3 knows that the old Kurt Angle played by the rules and the new Kurt Angle is out for blood. He guarantees to hurt Carter. Tells him that he will put the ankle lock on EC3 until his ankle snaps.
Oh it's real..... DAMN REAL!!!!
The Beautiful People talk about their big celebration later tonight.
Knux in a car with his sister talking about the future of The Menagerie which debuts next Thursday. Crazy Steve, The Freak, and The Rebel with Knux will be on Impact next week.

"My name is Agnieszka, I am 39 years. I am married with two wonderful children. I am polish but for three years I have lived with my family in Germany. I love crafting, photography, cooking, reading and spending time with my family. Scrapbooking has been my passion since 2006. More often than not most of my inspiration will come from the product or the photos I am working with and of course, the little things that my children say and do. I like doing layouts and mini albums, also some cards and altered art. I like to draw sketches for layouts
and cards. I love to share my experience and do photo tutorials. My style typically includes lots of layers and I love including techniques on my pages. I adore papers! One of my life's little pleasures is to cut, creating anything that translates the story I want to tell."
"Hello there! I'm Shawna and I have been paper crafting for about 8 years now. I live in New York (no, no…not "The City"…Upstate. Think cows. And apples.) with my wonderful husband of 10 years, our sweet and sassy almost 5-year old daughter, and a couple of four-legged kids as well. I love to create a variety of paper crafts; scrapbook layouts, cards, art journals, and anything else that allows me to get messy with colors and mediums. I am a gelato-holic.Both the Italian kind and the Faber Castell kind. I currently design for several challenge blogs, including: CSI: Color Stories Inspiration, Sketchabilities, and The Memory Nest. I Guest Designed for Citrus Twist Kits in February of this past year. I also teach paper crafting classes once a month at our local art store. There is nothing I love more than to inspire and be inspired by other paper crafters and mixed media artists. When I am not working at my full-time job in the legal field, you can either find me glued to my craft chair (it has happened, folks), or spending time in the great outdoors hiking, exploring, and doing anything that gets me out into nature. I usually have my trusty sidekicks (daughter, dog and husband) at my side."
"Hi scrappers, my name is Tanti and I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia.
In 1994 I went to Germany for my studies. There I met my husband, so I stayed for good. Nowadays I'm a stay at home mom of 2 kids. I speak indonesian, german and english. I've been papercrafting since I was at school. 15 years ago I started making cards for my friends and family. 2009 I fell in love with scrapbooking and I'm addicted to it since I made a vintage mini album for my mother in law. I love working with transparency and vellum. I like creating a homemade embellishment on most of my projects. My style is clean and colourful but I do also layering and messy style. Besides scrapbook pages I also love to make cards, mini albums and altered items. I'm so excited to be here and to work with all very talented ladies in the team."

The final word when it comes to breast augmentation for shemale pics
Both value and quality when it comes to breast augmentation for shemale pics. We'll also bring to the table more information about breast augmentation and after photos, breast augmentation with fat, and breast lift augmentation.
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure intended to make better the size and shape of woman's breast. There are several reasons why a woman might seek this procedure, including the following:
• To enhance the body shape and contour of a woman who feels that her breasts are too small
• To add to breast size following a reduction such as with pregnancy
• To even out breasts which differ in size The procedure requires the placement of a saline implant behind each breast in order to enlarge a woman's breast size by one or two cup sizes. Is breast augmentation right for you? Breast augmentation can add to your appearance, and by doing so, have a very positive effect on your life and increase your overall self-confidence. You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you are look to improve your appearance and are physically healthy. Possible risks and side effects associated with breast augmentation
Breast augmentation has been extensively performed and is now a relatively straightforward procedure. Most complications are minor and readily treated, but as with all surgery there is some uncertainty of risk.
Thanks for browsing coming! Has this helped? Are you ready to get started? We want you to come again, and if you need more information, we can share more about breast augmentation for shemale pics. Need still more assistance? If you want to learn more about Breast Augmentation Journal or other topics, then all you need to do is simply fill out the form above.

I am trying to cut fat out of my diet, so turkey burgers are the best way to go. I am allergic to wheat, so I eat these without a bun.
Hi, I try to be healthy sometimes but cheat here and there. I came up with this burger to try to cut down some of the fat, but not losing any flavor.
These mini turkey burgers are a great party food, but also filling enough for a meal.
I wanted a change for the better when it came to burgers for my family. I started experimenting with ground turkey and this is what I came up with. Awesome flavor in every bite!
The perfect way to get the kids to not only eat that left over bird but to actually enjoy doing it.
If you are someone who enjoys a good burger but likes to eat healthy, this burger is perfect for you.
Once you taste this burger, you will never again want to eat a beef burger. It is tasty and delicious, and without the fat content of a beef burger. A healthy alternative for a favorite food.
The challenge was to make a healthy burger out of lean ground turkey breast that is juicy and flavorful. The results speak for themselves.
I created this recipe when my husband and I wanted a flavorful burger, but didn't want the guilt from a regular burger. It's easy, delicious, and low cal.
This is one of my favorite burgers to make. Although it's a healthy version of a burger, you never feel like you are depriving yourself of flavor.
These turkey burgers were invented on a whim during a boring night when I decided to 'make something delicious'.
Ground turkey, spinach, a few more ingredients and a grill...and you have one awesome burger!
Sometimes your craving a Thanksgiving dinner, without the fuss and mess. My Tipsy Turkey burger gives you that Thanksgiving taste all in one bite.
I set out to prove to my husband that a turkey burger didn't have to be a dry, bland and boring burger. He now looks forward to turkey burger night and prefers them to traditional beef burgers.
My philosophy in the kitchen is healthy but tons of flavor.
This fabulous turkey burger is so moist and delicious and oh so nutritious!
This is not your everyday turkey burger, you will question the burger itself, it's moist and juicy, and it doesn't even need your everyday mustard ketcup or other condiments to make it taste good,

Great Review of Eight Camera Backpacks for the Outdoors
For a photographer, choosing the right camera backpack is just about as personal as choosing the right wallet or purse. What may work for one person may not work for another photographer. But with the sheer amount of choices available in the market, it can be difficult to sort out which backpack is the right one for your. One way to narrow down the choices is to decide where will you be taking your camera gear to.
For example, if you are looking for a backpack backpack for adventure photography, you may need a rugged and weather-resistant backpack that can carry additional supplies and clothing. Not only is capacity important, but comfort and weight must be accounted for, especially if you are hiking long distance for a long period of time.
Zeke of Nice Industries, the makers of the Aviator Travel Jib that we recently reviewed, takes us through a very good review of his eight favorite camera backpacks for the outdoors. Many of these backpacks are not your run-of-the-mill camera backpack that you can find in a brick and mortar store, so it's good to see how they look on a person and in detail.
If you are looking for a camera backpack for hiking, adventure sports, travelling in general, or even an off-trail photoshoot, then this review is for you.
The Video Review of 8 Camera Backpacks in 8 Minutes

Great to hear we can help. I do think that it's not too often we see a good review of these types of bags. Usually, we tend to see (and review ourselves) bags for the urban environment/travel, but not the outdoors or adventure sports.

I must say, the Clik Elite Contrejour seems to be the best choice for me. I spend a lot of time out in the snow, and it seems to be fairly agile for its size.

Oceanology: The True Account of the Voyage of the Nautilus
By "Zoticus de Lesseps," Templar Company Ltd., Candlewick Press, 2009, 34 pages,
ISBN: 978-0-7636-4290-7, Hardcover, $19.95 US
Clarice M. Yentsch is Research Scientist and Adjunct Professor, Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center, Dania Beach, FL, USA. Charles S. Yentsch is an independent contractor with Plankton Research and Instruments, Key West, FL, USA. Charlie and Clarice founded Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in 1974 in West Boothbay Harbor, ME.
Oceanology: The True Account of the Voyage of the Nautilus is whimsical and fun, yet treats oceanography with the respect and evidence-driven conclusions of The Oceans by Sverdrup, Johnson, and Fleming (1942). This "ologyworld" book (see http://www.ologyworld.com for additional "ology" books) mentions on the back cover that it is suitable "for ages 6 and up." We saw this statement and purchased the book at the History of Diving Museum as a gift for a child's sixth birthday. We were so taken by the book that we returned to the museum the following day to get a copy for ourselves. It is now on our bookshelf next to Jules Verne's classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Matthew Maury's Physical Geography of the Sea (1855) and Manual of Geography (1870).

Clinton resident Jim Loome has qualified nationally for competition in swimming, basketball and cycling. He is a regular at the Baptist Healthplex in Clinton.

As an Army brat kid, my fitness habits were somewhat dictated to me. In Pennsylvania, there was a pool three blocks away, so I swam. In Germany, the only thing to do was roller skate. In Texas, there was a golf course three houses away, so we played football on the fairway. Later, in high school in Virginia, I was lucky to get exposed to rowing. I rowed for Marietta College.
In recent years, I've been swimming a lot more because I got hurt playing basketball and had knee surgery. With two buddies, we've done a triathlon relay team: I swim and then tag the cyclist, and then he tags the runner. I've done some fun swims in Lake Tahoe, Lake Michigan, the Atlantic, the Gulf and some lakes.
In 2012, I was in the Mississippi Senior Olympics, for people 50 and over, for the first time.
I competed in swimming, 40K cycling and three-on-three basketball. It was the first time I'd raced in a pool since I was in the fifth grade, and I won the breaststroke. I also qualified as one of the top three in the state to go to Nationals in cycling and three-on-three basketball. I'm the only Mississippian to qualify in three major sports.
My cycling and basketball were not competitive nationally, but the swimming was. So, I represented Mississippi at the 2013 National Senior Olympics in Cleveland, Ohio. There were 26 qualified men in my age group from many states registered in the 50-yard breaststroke. I placed 11th. There were 12,000 athletes there, all 50 years old or older. It was a blast!
Diet is a big weakness. I eat both good food and junk food. The more I swim, the hungrier I get. But fat weighs the same as water, so it doesn't slow me down in the pool! I do eat a lot of apples as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack, to help me curb my craving for candy; and I only eat whole wheat bread - the kind with the added oats. I believe in a big breakfast. I try to eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch, and a pauper at supper.

Did the doctor prescribe both of these medications at the same time for you?
What are your symptoms or diagnosis?
How long have you been coughing for?
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX await your reply.
After 5 days of z-pack and no improvement, you must call the doctor. You probably need another round of antibiotic to treat the infection, otherwise there will be no improvement in you condition. No interactions between guaifenesin (mucinex) and other medicines have been recorded. Drink plenty of water while you are taking guaifenesin; this will help loosen the mucus. It will loosen the mucus in your lungs and encourage expectoration. It won't stop the cough. Tessalon on the other hand works to control the coughing. I do not recommend taking them together without speaking with your doctor first.

Lilo to skip court to be with beau?Comment on this story
London - Lindsay Lohan is reportedly skipping her court date to spend time with Max George.
The 'Liz & Dick' actress - whose case relating to her car accident in June, during which she allegedly lied about being the driver, is scheduled to be heard tomorrow (12.12.12) but the 26-year-old star has reportedly flown to London to spend time with The Wanted singer instead of appearing in court, according to gossip website X17Online.com.
The flame-haired beauty - who enjoyed a string of dates with the British heartthrob after they met in a New York nightclub late last month on the same night she allegedly assaulted fortune-teller Tiffany Mitchell - appeared to confirm she was abroad earlier when she tweeted earlier this morning (11.12.12): "I heart the UK."
The troubled starlet was involved in a crash on the Pacific Coast Highway near Los Angeles earlier this year and was officially charged last month after she told officers she was a passenger in the car involved, when she is believed to have been driving.
According to reports, the actress is not legally required to appear in court alongside her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley because all of the charges against her are misdemeanours.
Max, 24, recently revealed he thinks he is a bad influence on Lindsay, saying: "It's fun, she's a good girl. She can party nearly as hard as we can.
"I'm sure she's got people around her that know much better than we do. We're probably not the best influences." - Bang Showbiz

The crushed leaves of all Bee Balm species exude a spicy, fragrant oil.
Several species, including Monarda fistulosa and M. didyma, have a long history of use as medicinal plants by many Native Americans, such as the Blackfoot, Menominee, Ojibwa and Winnebago. The Blackfoot recognized the strong antiseptic action of the plants, and used them in poultices for skin infections and minor wounds. North American Indians, and later settlers, also used it to alleviate stomach and bronchial ailments. A tisane made from the plant was also used to treat mouth and throat infections caused by dental caries and gingivitis. Bee balm is a natural source of the antiseptic compound thymol, the primary active ingredient in some modern commercial mouthwash formulas. The Winnebago used a bee balm tisane as a general stimulant.
Bee balm was also used as a carminative herb by Native Americans to prevent excessive flatulence. An infusion of crushed, boiled Monarda has been used to treat headache and fever.
Although somewhat bitter due to the thymol content in the leaves and buds, the plant tastes like a mix of spearmint and peppermint with oregano.
Bee balm was traditionally used by Native Americans as a seasoning for wild game, particularly birds. The plants are widespread across North America and can be found in moist meadows, hillsides and forest clearings up to 5,000 feet in elevation.
Bee Balm is also a favorite of hummingbirds.

Diagnostics and disease-management strategies require technologies to enable the simultaneous detection and quantification of a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. Most multiplex, quantitative detection methods available suffer from compromises between the level of multiplexing, throughput and accuracy of quantification. Here, we demonstrate the efficacy of a novel, high-throughput, ligation-based assay for simultaneous quantitative detection of multiple plant pathogens. The ligation probes, designated Plant Research International-lock probes (PRI-lock probes), are long oligonucleotides with target complementary regions at their 5' and 3' ends. Upon perfect target hybridization, the PRI-lock probes are circularized via enzymatic ligation, subsequently serving as template for individual, standardized amplification via unique probe-specific primers. Adaptation to OpenArrays™, which can accommodate up to 3072 33 nl PCR amplifications, allowed high-throughput real-time quantification. The assay combines the multiplex capabilities and specificity of ligation reactions with high-throughput real-time PCR in the OpenArray™, resulting in a flexible, quantitative multiplex diagnostic system.
The performance of the PRI-lock detection system was demonstrated using 13 probes targeting several significant plant pathogens at different taxonomic levels. All probes specifically detected their corresponding targets and provided perfect discrimination against non-target organisms with very similar ligation target sites. The nucleic acid targets could be reliably quantified over 5 orders of magnitude with a dynamic detection range of more than 104. Pathogen quantification was equally robust in single target versus mixed target assays.
This novel assay enables very specific, high-throughput, quantitative detection of multiple pathogens over a wide range of target concentrations and should be easily adaptable for versatile diagnostic purposes.

Firefox 126.96.36.199 Removes Vulnerabilities
Several vulnerabilities in Firefox allow remote attacks on 2.x versions: updating to 18.104.22.168 closes the gaps.
Mozilla Firefox before 126.96.36.199 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.5, when running on Linux systems with gnome-vfs support, might allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files on SSH/sftp servers that accept key authentication by creating a web page on the target server, in which the web page contains URIs with smb: or sftp: schemes that access other files from the server (CVE-2007-5337, MFSA 2007-34). To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker has to entice users to a manipulated website on the same server. Websites written in XUL can hide their title bars (MFSA 2007-33, CVE-2007-5334), thus opening up a vector for phishing or spoofing attacks. An overview and more details on the vulnerabilities is available from Secunia.
The Firefox developers themselves view the fact that an attacker can exploit the XPC Native Wrapper script object and inject Javascript code when a user surfs to a Javascript page, and then execute the code with the logged on user's privileges (MFSA 2007-35, CVE-2007-5338). Some Firefox and Javascript engine crashes pointed to memory corruption, which an attacker might be able to use to execute malicious code.
All of these vulnerabilities have been removed in version 220.127.116.11. The new version is available as a download from the Mozilla page. The last digit in the Firefox version number indicates the fix. The previous update to 188.8.131.52 is from mid-September 2007 and closed the Quicktime vulnerability. The first 2.0 version of Firefox was released in October 2006.

Episode Teaser Image
Episode Description
Sometimes it seems Wall Street is never satisfied. U.S. factories boosted their output in January, and December's numbers were revised to reflect the best month of industrial growth since before the big meltdown. Problem is, those numbers still came in below expectations. But the bottom line is still moving in the right direction. We talk to Harvard's Willy Shih; he says auto sales played a big role in the uptick in output. And the Daily Pulse is up on news that breakfast cereal giant Kellogg announced its purchase of the Pringles for a top-popping $2.695 billion.

Earnings will dominate next week, as numerous bellwether companies are scheduled to report their most recent quarterly results.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama will deliver the State of the Union address Tuesday, while, tellingly, Congressman Paul Ryan (R. Wis.), a vocal critic of government spending, will deliver the Republican response.
Also in Washington, D.C., Democratic Congresswoman Sander Levin of Michigan is expected to introduce as early as Monday legislation targeting China's management of its currency.
A handful of Dow Jones Industrial Average companies -- including Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL), American Express Co. (NYSE:AXP) and McDonald's Corp. (NYSE:MCD) -- are among those reporting their latest quarterly results. The trio -- all due to report their results Monday -- are all forecast to post improved top and bottom line results from a year ago, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Other companies from the Dow 30 planning to report their results next week include 3M Co. (NYSE:MMM), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE:BMY).
The tech earnings parade continues this week with Internet giant Yahoo Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) reporting Tuesday, and e-commerce leader Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) reporting Thursday.
Yahoo is seen to have benefited from positive display ad trends throughout the quarter, but company fundamentals are coming under pressure due to growing competition from Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Facebook Inc.
Analysts expect another blow-out quarter from Amazon, which is widely seen as the biggest beneficiary of the healthy e-commerce trends this holiday season.
Levin's bill would allow countervailing duties to be assessed against countries that undervalue their currency. The move highlights the simmering tensions between the U.S. and China despite Chinese President Hu Jintao's much-hyped state visit to Washington.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission will meet Wednesday to issue draft proposals requiring hedge funds and commodity pool operators to report certain systemic risk information to the government.
India's central bank is likely to resume monetary tightening Tuesday with a 25 basis-point hike in key policy rates as it seeks to rein in inflation that has stoked popular protests. The meeting comes as central banks across Asia are raising interest rates to try to keep a lid on inflation. China, Taiwan, South Korea and Thailand all have hiked rates in the past month.
The European Commission is poised next week to approve Intel Corp.'s (NASDAQ:INTC) $7.68 billion purchase of security specialist McAfee Inc. (NYSE:MFE) after the chipmaker offered more concessions to ease competition concerns, Reuters reported.
Spanish Labor Minister Valeriano Gomez said the government will next week deliver its promised pension reform, a key part of its efforts to put its finances on a more solid footing.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make a one-day visit to Mexico on Monday to discuss bilateral issues including organized crime and border topics. The visit comes as drug violence continues to escalate in parts of Mexico.
Among the significant conferences next week are the Burba Hotel Network Americas Lodging Investment Summit Monday through Wednesday in San Diego, SNL Financial LC Financial Analysis of P&C Insurer Operations Conference Tuesday and Wednesday in New York City, Sandler O'Neill Partners LP Mid-Atlantic Bank Strategy Forum on Wednesday in Philadelphia, and the Turnaround Management Association Distressed Investing Conference Wednesday through Friday in Las Vegas.

I cannot agree with letting the Freedom From Religion Foundation telling us what we can or cannot do with our school Christmas concert. We pay taxes here. As a believer in what God has done for us at Christmas time, by sending His son Jesus Christ to earth as a baby, for our sins, it would not be Christmas without the nativity scene. This is the true meaning of Christmas.
If you do not believe what I have just said, I pray you will find this truth and allow Jesus to dwell in your heart.
Someone already decided to change the name to "Holiday Concert." Come on, fellow Christians, it is time to take a stand, to keep our right to worship our Lord and Savior in public. The Chambersburg Area Senior High School Glee Club is an elective, so if you don't like what is sung or displayed, then don't join the club or go to the concert. But let those who do enjoy it keep it.
Let's get back to what our country was founded upon: "In God we trust."

Bragging rights are an indispensable part of this weekend's Pinot Classic, the new tasting event that celebrates the Russian River Valley appellation as the epicenter of pinot noir.
As vintner Merry Edwards puts it: "There is no other place in the world where all the right conditions converge to create the kaleidoscopic aroma profile and the rich, full texture so recognizable in pinots produced in our appellation."
But with a number of new tasting events and weekends popping up, some wonder whether the region is reaching its limit.
"I think if an event can offer something special, or have a real focus, such as the Pinot Classic, the events can work," said Beth Costa, executive director of the Wine Road, sponsor of several popular tasting weekends. "Often, new wine events are fundraisers, which work because people attend to support the nonprofit, and in doing so, they are able to enjoy some great wines."
But things have changed since the first Barrel Tasting weekend 37 years ago, Winter Wineland 23years ago and A Wine & Food Affair 16 years ago, she added.
"These were about the only wine events you would find on the calendar," Costa said. "Folks saved the date and wouldn't want to miss out. Now if you are busy and miss one of these annual events, customers know there will be something else happening the following weekend in Sonoma County."
The Russian River Valley Winegrowers, organizers of the Pinot Classic, say what sets the event apart is the Paul? dinner that is its centerpiece.
The name "La Paul?" comes from the French word for saut?pan, poile. Traditionally, a Paul? dinner in France is held to celebrate the end of the harvest. Vintners would gather for a communal meal and bring special bottlings from their cellars to share.
Saturday night's Paul? dinner will be at DeLoach Vineyards in Santa Rosa, and vintners will dig into their personal cellars to bring wines from their wineries and the Russian River Valley, as well as bottlings from around the world.
Last year was the first Paul? Dinner at Arista Winery in Healdsburg, a lone event with the goal of introducing the launch of this year's Pinot Classic tasting. Many vintners lugged magnums and other bottlings in limited supply, competing for bragging rights.

Baseball Needs Instant Replay - Now
I agree with using instant replay for foul balls and homeruns and homeruns in general - for example if a fan interferes with it by reaching over. Where was the ball - in foul territory or fair territory past the foul pole ? My suggestion is to to display to the fans on the Jumbotron at the stadium a replay. The home teams display all replays now that are not controversial. I am not sure why a replay of a homerun is controversial if it clearly show what happened. What is controversial about the truth ? The umpire and all the fans like in tennis can see the replay right there. A 8 year old can be the replay official - is it fair or foul ? Is it a homerun ?
Now there must be penalties for cheaters so that teams will not cheat. There is no time to for a home team to dummy up a replay but if a team does not show an available replay, then the team forfeits the game. You need a stiff penalties to deter cheaters. There can be an investigation into why all replays are shown EXCEPT for the fair or foul one that everyone wanted. You have auditors to check that out. Most every game is shown on MLB Extra Innings so there should be few reason why a replay is not available to the fans and the umpires.
The NFL system of a replay booth is expensive and I really don't know why all the fans at the stadium can't see the replay ? Why do you have to go home to see a replay if you are at the game. Shouldn't you get at least what the people at home get for free since you bought a ticket ?
There is no new technology needed for this as they show replays now at baseball games. Why not include homerun calls and foul balls ? Get it right for the games sake. Besides, it could save time instead of each manager arguing with an umpire for 15 minutes each after they change or challenge the call. What did you see ? Are you sure ? blah, blah

I think baseball needs umpires that will be fair and review themselves the play then go to a replay screen.Homeruns make the game alot different and umpires should try to make the right call.

Wow you are good, you write one blog on CBS Sports and you have changed baseball history. LOL, just kidding, I noticed your blog and I am not sure what the date was that they implemented instant replay, but you have got your wish. Hey you think you could post a blog about the Iraq war coming to an end and the price of gas dropping about 2 bucks, maybe these things would come true as well. LOL

It doesn't seem right to add it after all these years without it, BUT, for homeruns that could mean the difference in the playoffs or even the WS, it does need to happen. they will difinitely need to find a way to minimize what can be reviewed or games will last a lot longer then they do now..Remember, Baseball is timeless, let' s keep it that way.

I have to disagree with the MLB replay issue. First, games are long enough - we don't extra time doing the NFL challenge thing and checking over and over again just to see that a play IS really too close to call. Second, yes, the technology exists to put up close plays on the screen just like in tennis - but don't be too excited about this. That technology is proving to be VERY faulty and isn't showing if a ball is in or out but just a statistical probability that the bal MIGHT be in or out. New studies are showing that tennis/jumbotron chair umpires are wrong much more often, but tennis doesn't have anything else in place right now and is happy to just let it ride for the forseable future.
I understand the trend in wanting instant replay, but why?
Besides, if Bud Selig is interested in it - I've got a problem with that.

I will have to disagree with you that Baseball needs instant replay. The game is long enough, please, don't make it any longer. If the game were to be sped up by, not allow the batter to continually step in and out of the batters box at will, might speed up the game. All the constant trying to check the runner at 1st, etc. All of this eats up time. And to add instant replay? A 3-4 hour game could stretch to 5-6 hours. And really? Who has that kind of time?

hey d2w - great avatar
Nolan Ryan thumping Ventura when he charged the mound - way cool
as for replay - i wouldn't do it on balls and strikes or base calls. what is more like baseball than an irate manager giving the umpire a piece of his mind? I could see it on a foul ball but limited. Lets say a team gets 2 appeals a game. If the managers wrong on the second appeal he gets ejected for delay of game. If hes right he still has his appeal. I have seen replays that were indeed inconclusive. the tennis replay is not always right. i have seen on camera a ball look right next to the line and then the replay makes it look 3 inches out. that doesn't give me confidence when the replay shows it a millimeter out.

Great point on not needing new technology. Why spend the millions of dollars on new equipment when all you need is right there. I mean in St. Louis $8.25 for a can of beer is enough. Also great point on allowing the fans and everyone else to see what the officals are looking at. I still swear I saw a ref at a KC Chiefs game looking at the Paris Hilton Sex Tape in the replay booth... but my seats werent that good either.

MLB should have done this a long time ago. Why haven't they? Who doesn't want to see replay of a ball bouncing off of someones head and into the stands? Foul or fair? That has been a long issue with fans. Now, hopefully if it sticks, we will be able to tell. Just don't implement the challenge. No one wants to watch a baseball game for that long.

The longest and most sacred rule of fashion happens to be the rule everyone seems to break.
Everyone knows that wearing white in the summer makes you feel cooler and stay calm when it's 102 degrees outside, but what some people don't know or tend to ignore is white after Labor Day is not OK.
No one is really sure why this fashion rule came into effect or when, but it's been that way since the late 1800s.
Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, and eventually society named it the end point day of summer fashion.
The famous designer Coco Chanel made it known to everyone she was wearing white year round, and by the 1950s, magazines everywhere were making it clear wearing white started Memorial Day and ended Labor Day.
Some might say fashion rules are meant to be broken, but something that is so timeless and always has been a rule should not be broken.
Just because it is a rule to not wear white after Labor Day does not mean you cannot invest in those winter whites.
Winter whites are shades of cream, ivory and pearl. Depending on the material, these colors are the statement piece for a fall and colder-climate outfit.
In some warmer areas in the United States, like Florida or Hawaii, people tend to wear their white clothing year round, but for us southerners, we have no excuse.
If white is one of your go-to colors you wear every day, then wearing a white button-up or blouse might be your saving grace.
Something everyone should stay away from and put away is your pearly white shoes, white pants and definitely those white purses.
Wearing jeans, a white button-up and a blazer does not count as breaking the Labor Day rule.
Since the 21st Century, the fashion world is much more relaxed about what colors to wear and when, but every year you will still hear people say white after Labor Day is just not acceptable.
Kennedy Pope is a Lebanon High School senior and fashion columnist for The Democrat.

Library Book Sale Haul and Life Lessons
How did I call myself "bookish" for so many years, when I'd never shopped a library book sale? Okay, I never call myself bookish, but I have felt a vague sense of incompleteness. I finally went a few weeks ago with my colleague and cube-neighbour Christina. Have I mentioned that I have a bookish office mate? She's into YA, which is perfect, because we didn't fight over books.
The Haul
1. Eleanor Rigby by Douglas Coupland: Because it's Douglas Coupland. I admit I'm finding his Roots clothing/daily slogan thing a little tiring, but, I will always love him.
2. The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews: Because All My Puny Sorrows is way to hyped for me to read it right now, and my dad's wife recommended it to me. We're visiting them next month, so it'll give us something non-controversial to talk about!
3. In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje: Because I love him.
4. Away by Jane Urquhart: Because Urquart created a playlist for the book, which is kind of my thing. Prosperina by Martha Wainright made me cry.
5. When God was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman: Because I like the title.
6. The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt: Because everyone I know who's read it orders me to read it. Immediately.
7. The Toss of a Lemon by Padma Viswanathan: Because of this review by friend-of-Reading-in-Bed Jennifer Quist.
8. We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates: Because she is coming to Edmonton in November and I need something for her to sign. Also she has the best/worst/most absurd Twitter persona.
9. Icefields by Thomas Wharton (not pictured): Classic CanLit. The librarian who sold it was so excited for me.
The Life Lessons
1. Like many a newbie, I imagine, I went in all "I'll just pick up a few books. One or two." No. You'll get ten or more. I put a few back because I had nowhere to put them. Come prepared. The true pros bring those little pull-along grocery carts. They've really made advances in the design of those since I delivered flyers in the 90s. I saw some that looked more like luggage.
2. If you see a book you might be interested in, grab it. If you change your mind, you can put it back. I hesitated over The Signature of All Things in pristine hardcover, went back maybe three minutes later, gone.
3. You don't have to go early. The line ups are for the DVDs.
4. Plan a separate day for kids' stuff. There were so many books and dvds, but I didn't have time or carrying capacity after I'd been through the adult stuff. Sorry kids!
5. Go more than once. They continually update the stock.I went twice in the same day and saw some of the same people on round two. Those were the pros with the grocery carts. They are hardcore.
The Edmonton Public Library's next Books 2 Buy event is on August 15-17. I'll be there!
For good measure, here is my neighbour's book haul, which resides in her filing cabinet because she couldn't carry it home. Yeah, I think we'll get along just fine.
My friend went to this same sale and brought me a biography of young Elizabeth I and The Forest House by Marion Zimmer Bradley because I LOVED The Mists of Avalon. Am I SUCH a nerd?June 22, 2014
Christina #
Appreciate the mention. And yup – always YA for the win! Glad I found and converted another book lover to book sales. The countdown to the August book sale has begun! We'll be prepared this time.June 23, 2014
I love your observation that the people lining up are there only for the DVDs. Around here we also have booksellers who like to get there before everyone else, but I find they tend to be interested, not surprisingly, in things with high resale value. Since most things that I am hunting for are lots of unheard of middlebrow early 20th c fiction, I am generally not in competition.
I sometimes go 'saleing' with Teresa from Shelf Love and Frances from Nonsuch Book and we sometimes compete for the same titles. But worse is I find myself chatting too much and not paying enough attention to combing through all the books.July 8, 2014

Foursquare, the location-based social media site, is aware of the value of its data for searches and has started talking to "a lot of different potential partners," including industry majors such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft in order to clinch data deals.
Data Power
Speaking to The Telegraph in an interview, Foursquare's co-founder, Dennis Crowley, said: "Our data generates hugely interesting trends which would enrich search." "We can anonymise data and use it to show venues which are trending at that moment," he explained.
In Talks
"Twitter helped the world and the search engines know what people are talking about. Foursquare would allow people to search for the types of place people are going to - and where is trending - not what," Crowley added. Recently, the company integrated its data to Twitter 'Places', giving the chirpy platform its ticket to paid search.
'Historical' Ties
Crowley himself has ties with Google, to whom he sold Foursquare's text-message version called Dodgeball back in 2005. The Telegraph further quoted him as saying that he now employs "former Googlers." However, none of the search engines commented on the state of the Foursquare partnership talks.
Ironically, Yahoo had expressed interest in the company in April. But not for teaming up with Foursquare. The intention of the search engine now turned content provider was to buy Foursquare. Now with the Search Alliance integrating Yahoo Search into Bing, who knows if Foursquare will not be dealing with both - one as a content partner and the other as search engine?
Media/Layered Content Deals
For the time being, Foursquare has mostly been getting involved with content providers, such as the Independent Film Channel (IFC) or the Huffington Post. Such agreements allow the respective parties to cross-integrate data layers and provide contextualized information to users when they check in. The latest deal was just signed with the publication New York, along the same lines as the two others. "The magazine's roughly 7,000 Foursquare followers can get tips and suggestions for approximately 5,000 restaurants, 1,600 bars and 5,500 stores listed on the site," MediaPost reported. Time Out New York and Bon Appetit also have signed in with Foursquare earlier this year. In Asia, the company has entered a partnership with Refinery Media.
Localeze A Potential New Partner?
As part of its Twitter deal, the social LBS firm is feeding its data alongside that of Localeze, the local search business directory management service. It's not clear whether the two firms also separately entered an agreement separately from the Twitter integration. When we spoke to Localeze earlier this week, its VP marketing, David Dague told us that "social deals" were to be announced soon, so Foursquare could well be one of those in the pipeline.
No Go(Walla)
One thing seems clear: Foursquare has no intention to team up with rival Gowalla. Crowley told The Telegraph: "We are more social than Gowalla and ultimately have different visions moving forward. They are excited about different things."
Last week, Foursquare reported it had registered over 2 million users for 5.6 million venues on the platform, and around 1 million daily check-ins. The company is valued at around $100 million.

Advancing the Alternative Fuels Market
Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) funded grant to address and assist in reducing multiple barriers to alternative fuel vehicle adoption. Tulsa Area Clean Cities was awarded $750,000 for 11 different projects.
Revolving Loan Fund
The upfront costs associated with converting a fleet to alternative fuels is a barrier that keeps many smaller fleets from doing so. The City of Tulsa will write a feasibility study for creating a revolving loan fund using Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds to fund a loan program for private fleets looking to convert over to alternative fuels vehicles. It would be the intent of this program that money saved from the use of alternative fuels would be used to repay these loans.
Developing Building Codes
Currently many municipalities do not have updated codes for the construction of alternative fuel stations. The lack of clear guidelines creates barriers and adds additional expense for entities interested in building alternative fuel stations. The City of Tulsa has been contracted to write a case study of best practices for building codes related to alternative fueling stations.
Guide to Building CNG/LNG, LPG, and EV Stations
Currently information for developers looking to build alternative fuel stations in Oklahoma is fragmented. Using information gathered from the "Developing Building Codes" project done by the City of Tulsa, Tulsa Area Clean Cities will write a step by step guide to building CNG/LNG, LPG, and EV stations. The guide will provide straightforward, detailed information along with relevant contacts for station developers on: location assessment, obtaining permits, designing and planning, working with inspectors to comply with building codes and regulations, etc. Additionally, a template version of this guide will be made available for adaptation by other entities.
CNG Conversion Guide
Many consumers are not aware of the difference between EPA certified CNG conversions, and those that are not certified. INCOG will submit a request for proposal to hire a contractor to produce a video highlighting the differences between a certified and non-certified conversion kits. This will highlight some of our stakeholders and provide a neutral source of information to consumers so that they make informed decisions about their vehicles.
Fire Safety Training
Many station developers face obstacles getting their facilities to meet fire code. Often fire inspectors are enforcing codes for gasoline fueling stations that are erroneously applied to alternative fueling stations. Tulsa Area Clean Cities has contracted Jeremy Moore, a Tulsa Firefighter, to develop a training curriculum for fire inspectors on existing alternative fueling station codes and standards. Mr. Moore will adapt existing curriculum to local regulations, create new materials based on his expertise as a District Chief for the Tulsa Fire Department, and provide at least 10 trainings around Oklahoma to local fire marshals/inspectors.
Alternative Fuels Mechanics Licensure Outreach
Oklahoma has a great licensure program, but more people need to learn about it. Tulsa Area Clean Cities has contracted with the Oklahoma Division of Capital Assets Management (DCAM) to perform training for fleet and industry trade groups. The will include information about: The best practices and regulations governing the alternative fuel conversion industry in Oklahoma Equipment safety inspections and inspectors and alternative fuel station inspections and inspectors.
Highway Signs for Alternative Fueling Stations
Consumers are unaware of the availability of alternative fuels along major highways. Tulsa Area Clean Cities has contracted the Oklahoma Department of Commerce (ODOC) to research and write a case study regarding the utilization of alternative fueling stations highway signs. They will work with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to facilitate the process to include highway signage for alternative fuels.
Case Study of Oklahoma CNG Mechanics Licensure
Oklahoma's Division of Capital Assets Management has led the way in certification of alternative fuel mechanics. This grant will document how that process occurred, and in doing so provide a case study for other states to use as a resource when creating their programs. We have contracted ODOC to write this case study.
Pulaski Tech Alternative Fuels Mechanic Training Program
Arkansas is in need of more alternative fuels mechanics. Tulsa Area Clean Cities will be partnering with Pulaski Technical College (PTC) in Little Rock, AR to provide support to their alternative fuels programs. PTC will develop and enhance programs for fleet mechanics and vehicle maintenance technicians with input from staff at Tulsa Technology Center.

The painting, drawing, printmaking program offers opportunities for the beginning student to build basic skills, learn techniques, and develop visual understanding in lower-division course work, and advance to greater specialization and self-direction in upper-division work. The goal of the curriculum is the integration of technique and artistic vision. The emphasis in painting, drawing and printmaking is on fine art, preparing the student for graduate work, a career in a gallery or museum, or continuing development as a professional artist, art teacher, or master printer.
Painting and advanced drawing are housed in two new, large studios, complete with state-of-the-art ventilation and north light. One has a smart classroom and critique space, and also holds some individual studio spaces for advanced undergraduate students.
Printmaking is housed in the John Blair Mitchell Print Studio in the Center for the Arts. The facility includes two lithography presses, with beds up to 40 inches wide, and three etching presses, with beds up to 36 inches wide. The studio also features a darkroom for light-sensitive printmaking processes, as well as computers, scanners, and an inkjet printer for student use. An extensive state-of-the-art circulation system ventilates the facility, and a large window-lined wall provides the studio with natural light. A letterpress shop is shared with the Graphic Design concentration. All printmaking students are granted open access to the studio and its resources.
The painting, drawing, printmaking area operates the undergraduate Storage Space Gallery in room 4033 of the Center for the Arts. The gallery hosts up to ten undergraduate exhibitions and installations each semester. Students in any concentration in the department may apply to exhibit their work in this space. Information on applying is sent to all department majors at the beginning of fall and spring semesters; contact Nora Sturges (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information.
The painting, drawing, printmaking faculty are all active artists who work in their studios and exhibit, and share their professional experience with students. In addition, the department recruits visiting artists to offer workshops, lecture on their work, give critiques, and work in classes and with individual students.
For news on on Painting, Drawing, Printmaking events, classes, and alumni, check out our blog: http://tupdp.blogspot.com/.
