When it comes to the matter of vaccinations, informed consent often seems to fall by the wayside. We've noted this before with respect to
the annual flu shot hype. The dominant media message insists on how important it is to get vaccinated. Pharmacies, clinics and countless medical professionals do the same, touting benefits without ever mentioning risks. "Get this. It's good for you. Trust us. We know."
Yet without awareness of risks, there can be no informed consent.
the annual flu shot hype. The dominant media message insists on how important it is to get vaccinated. Pharmacies, clinics and countless medical professionals do the same, touting benefits without ever mentioning risks. "Get this. It's good for you. Trust us. We know."
Yet without awareness of risks, there can be no informed consent.
Recently, we ran across a form that parents are being encouraged to give to their children's physicians who insist on vaccinations against their wishes. Though legally questionable and likely unworkable, it does make a keen satirical point about the problem.
I (Physician's name, degree)_______________, _____ am a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State/Province of _________. My State/Provincial license number is ___________ , and my DEA number is ____________. My medical specialty is _______________.
I have a thorough understanding of the risks and benefits of all the medications that I prescribe for or administer to my patients. In the case of (Patient's name) ______________ , age _____ , whom I have examined, I find that certain risk factors exist that justify the recommended vaccinations. The following is a list of said risk factors and the vaccinations that will protect against them:
Risk Factor __________________________
Vaccination __________________________
Risk Factor __________________________
Vaccination __________________________
Risk Factor __________________________
Vaccination __________________________
I am aware that vaccines may contain many of the following chemicals, excipients, preservatives and fillers:
and, hereby, warrant that these ingredients are safe for injection into the body of my patient. I have researched reports to the contrary, such as reports that mercury thimerosal causes severe neurological and immunological damage, and find that they are not credible.
I am aware that some vaccines have been found to have been contaminated with Simian Virus 40 (SV 40) and that SV 40 is causally linked by some researchers to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and mesotheliomas in humans as well as in experimental animals. I hereby warrant that the vaccines I employ in my practice do not contain SV 40 or any other live viruses. (Alternately, I hereby warrant that said SV-40 virus or other viruses pose no substantive risk to my patient.)
I hereby warrant that the vaccines I am recommending for the care of (Patient's name) _______________ do not contain any tissue from aborted human babies (also known as "fetuses").
In order to protect my patient's well being, I have taken the following steps to guarantee that the vaccines I will use will contain no damaging contaminants.
I have personally investigated the reports made to the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) and state that it is my professional opinion that the vaccines I am recommending are safe for administration to a child under the age of 5 years.
The bases for my opinion are itemized on Exhibit A, attached hereto, — "Physician's Bases for Professional Opinion of Vaccine Safety." (Please itemize each recommended vaccine separately along with the bases for arriving at the conclusion that the vaccine is safe for administration to a child under the age of 5 years.)
The professional journal articles I have relied upon in the issuance of this Physician's Warranty of Vaccine Safety are itemized on Exhibit B , attached hereto, — "Scientific Articles in Support of Physician's Warranty of Vaccine Safety."
The professional journal articles that I have read which contain opinions adverse to my opinion are itemized on Exhibit C , attached hereto, — "Scientific Articles Contrary to Physician's Opinion of Vaccine Safety"
The reasons for my determining that the articles in Exhibit C were invalid are delineated in Attachment D , attached hereto, — "Physician's Reasons for Determining the Invalidity of Adverse Scientific Opinions."
I understand that 60 percent of patients who are vaccinated for Hepatitis B will lose detectable antibodies to Hepatitis B within 12 years. I understand that in 1996 only 54 cases of Hepatitis B were reported to the CDC in the 0-1 year age group. I understand that in the VAERS, there were 1,080 total reports of adverse reactions from Hepatitis B vaccine in 1996 in the 0-1 year age group, with 47 deaths reported.
I understand that 50 percent of patients who contract Hepatitis B develop no symptoms after exposure. I understand that 30 percent will develop only flu-like symptoms and will have lifetime immunity. I understand that 20 percent will develop the symptoms of the disease, but that 95 percent will fully recover and have lifetime immunity.
I understand that 5 percent of the patients who are exposed to Hepatitis B will become chronic carriers of the disease. I understand that 75 percent of the chronic carriers will live with an asymptomatic infection and that only 25 percent of the chronic carriers will develop chronic liver disease or liver cancer, 10-30 years after the acute infection. The following scientific studies have been performed to demonstrate the safety of the Hepatitis B vaccine in children under the age of 5 years.
________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________
In addition to the recommended vaccinations as protections against the above cited risk factors, I have recommended other non-vaccine measures to protect the health of my patient and have enumerated said non-vaccine measures on Exhibit D , attached hereto, "Non-vaccine Measures to Protect Against Risk Factors" I am issuing this Physician's Warranty of Vaccine Safety in my professional capacity as the attending physician to (Patient's name) ________________________________. Regardless of the legal entity under which I normally practice medicine, I am issuing this statement in both my business and individual capacities and hereby waive any statutory, Common Law, Constitutional, UCC, international treaty, and any other legal immunities from liability lawsuits in the instant case. I issue this document of my own free will after consultation with competent legal counsel whose name is _____________________________, an attorney admitted to the Bar in the State of __________________ .

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?

A scenario that haunts the imagination of millions of Southland drivers is the wrong-way freeway crash. One study reported that more than 50 percent of such crashes involve alcohol and more than 5 percent involve drugs.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the same agency advocating for a move to a 0.05 percent BAC limit "to save lives," analyzed the data in hundreds of wrong-way crashes. The agency found that of the 1,150 wrong-way drivers involved in fatal collisions whose BAC was known, 684, or 59 percent, had BAC levels at or above 0.15 percent.
In the course of a week in June 2013, the Antelope Valley Freeway was rocked by not one, but two crashes caused by wrong-way drivers. The first, allegedly caused by a driver high on meth, injured 13 people and shut down the freeway for hours. The second took the life of a 77-year-old pastor and seriously injured two of his congregants. That wrong-way driver, who also suffered major injuries, was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
The familiar checkpoints that slow traffic to a standstill on weekends and holidays around Orange County may or may not deter people from drinking and driving. But what they typically don't accomplish is the arrest of drunken drivers. For example, on May 4 and 5 (Friday night and Saturday morning), 1,513 cars passed through a checkpoint at Newport Boulevard and Finley Avenue in Newport Beach. No DUI arrests were made, but 12 citations were issued for other violations.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) estimates that communities that consistently use sobriety checkpoints reduce DUI incidents up to eight times as much as communities that use roving patrols alone. But others, particularly defense attorneys, deride the checkpoints as costly TSA-like "security theater," often manned by police on overtime pay, plus an army of tow trucks and their drivers.
In some cities, the stops pay for themselves, with municipalities receiving thousands of dollars in tow payments, administrative-release payments and a cut of proceeds collected by the tow company for storage. In March 2010, Baldwin Park police impounded 61 vehicles while arresting just one person for drunk driving at a checkpoint.
So will lowering the legal level of driving under the influence to 0.05 percent BAC from 0.08 percent, as the NTSB is now advocating, change any of this? And could it happen?
The second question is probably easier to answer than the first. In May, the NTSB issued the call for states to move to a 0.05 percent BAC, along with a number of other recommendations to fight drunk driving, in a 100-page report, Reaching Zero: Actions to Eliminate Alcohol-Impaired Driving.
The agency claims that at BAC levels of 0.05 percent and lower, vigilance, perception, reaction time, tracking and psychomotor skills are all impaired, while drowsiness increases. It also claims alcohol use is associated with reduced seat belt use, increasing injury severity. According to the NTSB, going from 0.08 percent to 0.05 percent in Europe cut traffic fatalities 8 percent to 12 percent.
"The NTSB concludes that BAC levels higher than 0.05 are viewed by respected traffic-safety and public-health organizations around the world as posing unacceptable risk for driving, and more than 100 countries have already established BAC limits at or below 0.05," says DUI attorney Myles L. Berman. "I don't believe the U.S. should follow other countries' laws."
As the NTSB itself admits, "lowering the BAC threshold may seem counterintuitive when the majority of alcohol-impaired drivers in fatal crashes have BAC levels well over 0.08." But the agency insists that "reducing the BAC limit could reasonably be expected to have a broad deterrent effect."
Reaching Zero is full of fun acronyms, such as the futuristic DADSS (Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety), HVE (high-visibility enforcement, those OC traffic stops we love so well) and OUI (not the former nudie magazine, but an acronym for operating under the influence of alcohol and drugs). Then there's the Orwellian REDDI (Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately). POLD is a phrase to strike fear into every party-thrower, restaurateur or bar operator—Place of Last Drink. All such actions are justified by yet another acronym, TZD—Toward Zero Deaths.
But it would be a mistake to not take the NTSB's recommendation to lower the BAC seriously. Though the crusade has just begun, the agency has a track record of making such change happen.
In 2004, it helped to implement the re-definition of DUI, moving the threshold of legal intoxication from 0.1 percent to 0.08 percent BAC. Although it's up to each state to make its own law on the subject, all 50 eventually went along, motivated by the agency's system of rewards (special-program funds and incentive grants) and punishment (such as the threat of withholding highway money, which drove the states to a drinking age of 21). And supporting the proposed 0.05 percent BAC limit as part of a renewed "war on drunk driving" seems a no-brainer for any ambitious politician.
Certainly, drunk drivers are not a very popular constituency. But the proposed new BAC level will criminalize much more behavior and many more people. For example, say you're a 100-pound woman; according to the charts, at 0.05 percent BAC, you'd be legally drunk after consuming exactly one drink. Sip a glass of wine at a baby shower, then go to jail.

Report: Microsoft considering buying Nook Media for $1 billion
updated 10:43 pm EDT, Wed May 8, 2013
Microsoft offer lower than current company value
Reports have surfaced that Microsoft is allegedly offering $1 billion to buy the digital assets of Nook Media, Barnes & Noble's venture into e-book publishing. Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft would redeem preferred units in Nook Media, which would give control of the operation to Microsoft.
Documents obtained by TechCrunch revealed the plans, as well as Nook Media's intention to discontinue its Android tablet business by the end of 2014, migrating all content reception to third party partner devices. The readers themselves are likely to fade away with time, replaced by the consumer upgrade cycle with other devices (such as iPads) than dedicated ebook readers.
Nook Media broke away from Barnes & Noble last year with assistance from Microsoft to the tune of $300 million for a 16.8 percent share in the company. Microsoft's original intention was availability of the content on the Windows 8 platform. Nook content is available on Android, iOS, and Windows. A Nook for Mac client exists, but is incompatible with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Kacey L. Raile Revocable Trust (Kacey L. Raile Trust) (together, Applicants) filed an application
pursuant to section 63.03 of the Commission's rules1 to transfer control of Hartman Telephone
Exchanges, Inc. (Hartman Telephone) from the Randall J. Raile Trust to the Kacey L. Raile Trust, both
revocable trusts formed pursuant to Nebraska law.
Hartman Telephone, a Nebraska corporation, is a rural incumbent local exchange carrier (LEC)
serving approximately 353 access lines in the Danbury, Lebanon, and Haigler telephone exchanges in
Nebraska (the Danbury and Haigler exchanges also serve customers in Kansas). Currently, the Randall J.
Raile Trust owns 51 percent, and the Kacey L. Raile Trust owns 49 percent of the stock of Hartman
Telephone. Randall J. Raile and Kacey L. Raile, both U.S. citizens, are the sole settlors and controlling
trustees of their Trusts. The Randall J. Raile Trust also owns 86 percent, and the Kacey L. Raile Trust
owns seven percent of the stock in Benkelman Telephone Company, Inc. d/b/a BWTelcom, a rural
incumbent LEC in the Benkelman telephone exchange that serves customers in Nebraska and Kansas.
The Benkelman exchange is adjacent to Hartman Telephone's Haigler exchange. Applicants further state
that the Randall J. Raile Trust owns 100 percent of the stock of Wauneta Telephone Co., a rural
incumbent LEC serving the Wauneta exchange in Nebraska. Applicants state that they have, in
combination, far fewer than two percent of the nation's subscriber lines installed in the aggregate
nationwide, but because of the adjacent service area the Applicants have identified, this application is not
entitled to presumptive streamlined treatment under section 63.03(b) of the Commission's rules.2
Upon the closing of the proposed transaction, the Kacey L. Raile Trust will own 51 percent of the
outstanding stock of Hartman Telephone, and the Randall J. Raile Trust will own 49 percent of Hartman
Telephone's stock. Applicants assert that the proposed transaction is in the public interest because it will

service pursuant to existing terms and conditions.
GENERAL INFORMATIONThe transfer of control identified herein has been found, upon initial review, to be acceptable for
filing as a non-streamlined application. The Commission reserves the right to return any transfer
application if, upon further examination, it is determined to be defective and not in conformance with the
Commission's rules and policies. Pursuant to section 63.03(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR

We did this trip in January this year and we had trouble finding a one way rental, especially as they keep passports.
We flew into Danang and wanted to rent 2 bikes for 6 days to go over the Hai Van pass to Hue and stay in Hue for a few days.
We had a booking in a hotel in Hoi an so we went there and they rented us 2 bikes for $5 per day and as we had a booking when we returned they only kept one passport as we needed the other for booking rooms in Hue. So we ended up riding both ways, which I am very glad we did, There are some great places to stop along the way.
If you want to know a cheap taxi driver from Danang to Hoi An or any other info about the trip just ask

i can't actually remember how long the journey took, we left from hoi an about 11am and got to hue about 5 or 6 hours later, we did stop a few times and the ride from danang to the hai van pass is the best bit, from the other side of the pass to hue is the longest and worst bit of the trip, seems to go on for ages, but it's ok. On the way back it is a great stop at Elephant Stream for a swim, and it breaks up the journey.

In regards to the bushfire; the firefighters saved about 370 homes in the path of the fire. I was utterly amazed to see on the news the helicopter view of some of these houses; looking like perfect little oases stuck in the midst of acres and acres of grey-white ash with leafless black tree-trunks poking out of the ground all round; absolutely incredible!! Such a fantastic effort...
In the past nearly-a-week, I've been doing my yearly duty of staying at our beach house, guarding it against the expected hoards of drunken marauding teenage school-leavers. Well, that is how the media like to portray leavers, anyway... I can only guess whether the extras diverted from the bushfire areas are here, since as usual it is pretty quiet and I've only seen small groups of teenagers sitting about together on the beach, enjoying themselves in a cheerful yet still civilised way. Honestly, I don't know what all the hysteria about leavers is. Most of them seem pretty nice kids to me. Sienna is an absolute magnet on the beach for pats.
On the other hand I am getting rather lonely now. Sienna is sorta good company, but...
I'm reeeeally looking forward to when the family turns up tomorrow for our "family" part of the holiday.

Funny little story, about the cat.ReplyDelete
Your dress is really cute; love the hat, too.
Hey Carolyn, What are "leavers"? Are these students who are skipping school for the day? That is a beautiful picture of you, and I love that dress.ReplyDelete
I think teenagers do get an undeserved bad wrap really but I guess you have to either be a teenager or parent of one to see that! My daughter finishes school for the year at the end of the week. It has come round so quickly, especially this year.ReplyDelete
What a terrible thing, so many people loosing their homes right before Christmas. I am glad no one lost their lives though.
To explain further: "leavers" are children who have just finished their final exams, in their last year of school. So they are "leaving" secondary school. Here in Australia, the final exams are held quite early, during November, so the yr 12's have all finished by the end of November, as opposed to younger school children who don't finish their school year until mid December. In the last few years (say ten, or so? it wasn't around when I finished school!) it has become customary for the leavers to go off together for a few days to party. A lot of people here are terrified about the possible shenanigans, but my experience is that 99.9% of them are quite innocent, sweet and well behaved... it's only the naughty few who give the rest a bad name.ReplyDelete
Nice to have you back. Your blog disappeared for a while yesterday! I was getting a little concerned.ReplyDelete
Oh I'm so glad your blog re-appeared.ReplyDelete
In regards leavers, or schoolies as they're more commonly called over this side, I've noticed they tend to be worse behaved when they're in the centre of main cities. The ones who go to Brisbane misbehave terribly, but when my friends and I went to Byron Bay, you hardly would have noticed there was any schoolies around at all if not for the slightly more crowded beaches.

Hempfield knocks off rival Norwin for 2nd time this season
TribLIVE Sports Videos
For a decade Norwin and Hempfield were only baseball rivals by proximity.
To say the Knights owned the series would be an understatement. Entering the season, the Spartans had won two of the last 20 meetings and had lost nine straight.
My, how the tables have turned.
Nathan Mori picked up the win in relief and also drove in the winning run with a walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh, as Hempfield (9-2, 6-1) solidified its hold on first place in Section 2-AAAA with a 4-3 victory over Norwin (5-5, 4-3), completing a two-game regular-season series sweep over the Knights.
"We like where we're at, but we still have a tough week ahead of us because Wednesday (at Kiski Area) is a tough game and Friday's (at Penn-Trafford) is a tough game, so we don't have anything locked up by any means," Hempfield coach Tim Buzzard said. "It was good to get a second win against Norwin and to put ourselves in a good position for the next couple games."
Norwin had won the Section 2 title each of the last four years, but a rough start to the year, including a 10-0 loss to Hempfield in the season opener, now has the team scrambling to make the playoffs. Though the Knights could have moved into a first-place tie with a win, they are now in a third-place tie with Latrobe for the section's final WPIAL Class AAAA playoff berth.
"Hopefully, we carry this game over and know that it's a tough loss and learn from it," Norwin coach Mike Liebdzinski said. "(The players are) down a little bit, but I hope they take away from it that they're right there and they're good enough to compete against good teams and good pitchers as long as they do what they're supposed to do."
The Knights offense was stymied by Mori and starter Zack Martinelli, who held them to three hits and struck out 10. The Knights looked at called third strikes five times, each time with a runner in scoring position.
"(Martinelli's) a hood pitcher, but I think in those situations we were tentative, and we didn't attack the ball," Liebdzinski said. "We had the guys up that we wanted with guys in scoring position, but I thought they were a little bit tentative and got behind in the count and, once he gets you behind, he throws that changeup and throws the breaking ball for strikes."
Norwin scored two of its runs on errors in the second inning and tied the game in the top of the sixth when Martinelli uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Jake Pribanic to score from third. Hempfield led, 1-0, in the second after Jon Shafer doubled in a run, then went ahead 3-2 in the third when Knights starter Nick Amendola balked home Joey DeFloria.
Hempfield finished it off though when Luke Fox singled off Norwin reliever Noah Smith, then stole second. Mori then lined a 1-2 pitch that one-hopped the left-field fence for a double to plate Fox and end the game.
"I had struck out in a big situation earlier in the game, and I wanted to come through and pick myself up," Mori said. "The big win with the hit, that was a good part about it."

Upside Down (2013) – Directed by Juan Diego Solanas – Starring Jim Sturgess, Kirsten Dunst, Timothy Spall, and Blu Mankuma.
I've gone back and forth on whether or not I want to post this reaction.
There are movies that are worth our derision. When Big Hollywood spends over $150 million to make a soulless mess like World War Z or Mars Needs Moms, I don't really mind letting a film have it, but when I'm confronted with a film that, while terrible, feels like a personal vision and an honest attempt to tell an actual story …
Well, that's UPSIDE DOWN.
For a film I only became aware of because I kept seeing the cover whenever I started a new round of Netflix fishing, it's surprising to me how much I want to love this movie. The opening voice over, in which Adam (Jim Sturgess) waxes philosophical about the possibility of love being more powerful than gravity is almost laughably cringeworthy, except that he's so earnest in his desire to have the world work according to emotion rather than science that it's like listening to a friend who's fallen so deeply in love that he's become intellectually damaged – yeah, he's speaking nonsense but it's a harmless nonsense, and he's so earnest, you want him to be proven right.
Love is the best way for me to try and articulate my thoughts about UPSIDE DOWN. If you've ever developed a crush on someone from a distance, only to have tat crush turn sour when you get up close, you have a close approximation of my relationship with UPSIDE DOWN. The look of this movie is gorgeous and inspiring. It's like watching a beautiful painting start to move and if it was a silent movie, I could probably love it openly.
But, man, nearly every time someone opens their mouth and starts talking … it's a disaster.
UPSIDE DOWN is a riff on Romeo and Juliet, in which Adam and Eden (Kirsten Dunst) play poor boy/rich girl from different sides of the gravitational field. There are two planets who orbit a sun together, creating what the film calls "dual gravity." Basically, this means there's a planet right on top of your head. You look up at a world that appears upside down, and Adam eventually goes to work in an office where the ceiling of his floor is the other side's floor. Visually, this idea plays out in visuals that never get old. Writer/Directer Juan Diego Solanas finds really innovate ways to keep showing this difference off – whatever problems Solanas the Writer has, Solanas the Director is a guy to watch because he knows how to film a story much better than he knows how to tell one.
Which makes him the Argentinian M. Night Shyamalan, I suppose.
The film opens with that horrible narration that's one part emotional fantasy and one part scientific info dump. It's brutal to listen to, but the graphics beneath that voice over and really well done. When the film proper starts, we see a young Adam leaving the orphanage and visiting his aunt, who lives out near a mountain that comes close to touching the Up world (they literally call the worlds Up and Down). She makes these special pancakes from pink bees from Up and Adam has to go get the pollen. He sneaks through a fence and climbs the mountain. One day, he climbs to the top and sees a girl about his age on Up doing the same. They fall into young love with one another, and despite it being illegal for people to travel between planets, Adam tosses Eden a rope to pull her down to his world so they can hang out together.
When an object from one world goes to the other world, it's still run by the original world's gravitational field, so Eden can't come to Down and walk around because her body is always going to fall up towards her world. There's a really clever bit where Adam pulls her down and she lays on the underside of a rock cropping, which prevents her from floating/falling away.
These opening scenes are rather good and I found myself falling into this beautiful world of blues and grays and mountains and clouds and swirling snow and two crazy kids falling in love with each other. Eventually, they're discovered, and as Adam is using the rope to slowly raise Eden back to Up, he gets shot, the rope gets released, and Eden slams hard into the mountain on her world. Adam's last sight is seeing her lying still, blood pouring out into the snow.
And that's when the movie stops working for me.
Adam goes on to try to invent facial cream that gets him a job in the company Eden works for, and Eden gets amnesia and can't remember him. Other than a compelling performance from Timothy Spall as a worker from Up who befriends Adam and helps him get in contact with Eden, there's so much bad dialogue and clumsy storytelling over the next 45 minutes that I just could not finish the movie.
Maybe if the premise wasn't so interesting and the visuals so compelling the story's clunkiness would be less of a problem, but there's so much potential that the better the film looks, the more each problem with the narrative and acting becomes magnified. I think Solanas makes a mistake, too, focusing on Adam, when Eden is so much more compelling. Adam is just a poor kid who's never fallen out of love with his first love, but Eden is from the world that profits off its abuse of the other world, and has amnesia and talks of having dreams from before her accident. That story, that struggle, is much more in line with the film's visual otherworldliness than Adam's mundane and, frankly, rather infantile approach to life.
Right after Timothy Spall's character, Bob, gets fired, I stopped watching.
I did it to save the good feelings I had about the film that the story was rapidly stealing from me. When I was much younger, I was the kind of guy who fell for types instead of actual women. I had a crush on a girl that I was convinced was THE ONE. She was exactly the type of girl I knew I wanted. But there's a funny truth about crushes – crushes are always based on an incomplete picture of a person. Crushes happen because you like what little you see and then fill in the blank spaces with fantasy. If you know a person, you can't have a crush on them – you either like them or you don't.
Eventually, I went on a date with THE ONE and it was a complete disaster. To this day, it was one of the worst dates I've had, but not because of some dramatic or crazy story. No, it was just dull and boring. We barely spoke. I spent the night realizing that mistaking a crush for love was a dumb thing to do and that terrible night was the price to pay for my immaturity. I was thrilled when the night was finally over and I could put the past few months behind me and move on. I'm sure she felt the same way.
So, of course, we went out the next week, too.
That date wasn't significantly better.
So, of course, we agreed to go out the next week, as well.
Mercifully, she cancelled mid-week. Not only was I immature, I was probably something of a coward, too, though in my defense it did seem like after openly pining for her for so long it would be a major dick move if I was the one who eventually turned her down. Regardless, I was glad whatever we were doing was over, and we became okay friends for a bit.
That's why I shut UPSIDE DOWN off. We weren't falling in love, but I'd like to stay on friendly terms with this beautiful failure.

The Summerville Bears jumped all over Linden early Friday night and pulled away to demolish the host Lions 62-35.
The Bears have won 14 straight and remain perfect in the Mother Lode League (14-0) with one game to play.
Summerville essentially put the game out of reach in the first eight minutes, leading 20-3 after the first quarter.
"We just kind jumped on them early," said Bears head coach Ben Watson. "After that, we executed pretty well in the halfcourt set. They tried to get back in it by shooting 3s, and they hit a couple, but our offense worked pretty well early."
The Bears extended their lead by halftime to 32-10 and then ran away and hid in the third quarter.
Summerville scored 25 points and held a 57-21 lead heading into the final frame.
"At the start of the third quarter we came out fast-breaking and hitting some shots so it kind of got out of hand for them fairly early in the second half," said Watson. "We spread the ball around. Jesse (Roberson) had a 3, Joey (Brocchini) had a 3 and Kyle (McLaurin) had a 3 all in the third quarter plus Connor (Morningstar) had six points. We had the outside, inside attack going."
For the Bears (23-3, 14-0 MLL), who have all but locked up the No. 2 seed, Brocchini scored a game-high 15 points, including four 3-pointers, Morningstar had 10, Logen Foster nine, Rosendo Amaya-Wood scored eight points and grabbed eight rebounds, McLaurin had points and Roberson added five points.
"Joey shot the ball real well and it was nice to see Kyle McLaurin back in the lineup after his illness and hitting 3s, getting back his shooting stroke because he will be key in the playoffs," said Watson.
The Bears will visit Amador on Tuesday to finish the regular season.
"Amador had the opportunity to beat us over there the last time (50-48 win) and we narrowly escaped," said Watson. "I expect it to be the same way. They give us some fits on defense and they can extend us. They've got some outside shooters that can make us come away from the basket. They're trying to get ready for the playoffs too, so they'd like nothing better than to knock us off."

Major league Baseball (MLB) issued a 211 game suspension of Alex Rodriguez for alleged use of performance enhancing drugs ("PEDs") and obstruction of MLB's PED investigation. If the charge is admitted by A-Rod or proven in a fair hearing, then A-Rod is a cheat deserving of a just penalty; but 211 games is surely not just. The obstruction charge is ludicrous given that 12 of the 13 accused did not even challenge the penalty.
While MLB attempts to scapegoat A-Rod, who is going to put MLB on trial for the PED epidemic? Was admitted PED user Jose Conseco really the only baseball person who knew about the rampant use of PEDs? Was Tony LaRusso, the manager of Conseco and teammate and admitted PED user Mark McGuire, unaware? Was Commissioner Selig unaware? LaRusso, with Selig's apparent approval, even hired McGuire as his batting coach, further enabling the PED users.
The penalty for A-Rod is absurd in light of the fact that all the others received only 50 games, except for Braun's 65. The hypocrisy and double standard are evident.

Windowed bag reveals jerky has nothing to hide
All-natural beef and pork jerky product is launched in a 3-oz, flexible film pouch with a window that showcases the product's handcrafted appeal.
The product is the star of new windowed pouch packages for Golden Island Jerky Co.'s recently launched 3-oz retail size of jerky in six globally inspired flavors. Southern California-based Golden Island offers kettle-cooked beef and flame-grilled pork jerky crafted with all-natural ingredients and no preservatives in more than 20 flavors. Since 2008, the brand has been sold at Costco and at Texas-based chain Central Markets in a 14.5-oz pack size. This summer, Golden Island launched the 3-oz size in select markets within the western U.S., in a pouch that emphasizes the brand's handcrafted nature.
"The new packaging design we chose had a single purpose in mind: to signify that this was not just any jerky inside the bag," says Anna Kan, president and CEO of the third-generation, family-owned business. "We wanted to showcase a handcrafted look because our jerky is kettle-cooked and flame-grilled in small batches to give them unique flavor profiles and pleasing textures. We wanted to display our bold flavors and big pieces of meat that you can actually see through the clear window in each package. Our goal is to change people's perception of jerky and expand the jerky consumer demographic. The bottom line is that Golden Island is 'real honest jerky,' and we're not hiding anything."

Package graphics for the resealable, flexible film pouches were created by Brand Thirty-Three, which selected deep, rich colors and ingredient icons placed against a silver background to differentiate varieties. The six flavors in the new line include both beef and pork varieties "selected due to their past success in road shows held at various Costco locations throughout the U.S.," explains Han. One example of the design strategy is the Chili Lime flavor, which uses green color blocking around the clear window and features a cow icon, along with chili and lime symbols placed next to the flavor name. Another example, Korean Barbecue, is pink, with a pig icon, and garlic and onion symbols.
"We have received tremendous positive response from our customers, vendors, and employees alike," says Han. "We've been told that our new packaging better matches the quality jerky and unique flavors inside each bag. Some of the terms used to describe our new packaging include 'contemporary,' 'clean,' 'stand out,' 'unique,' and 'organic.'"
The 3-oz bags of Golden Island Jerky are available at retail in prices ranging from $5.99 to $6.49, depending upon retailer. The snacks are also available on the company's new Web site.

Greg Maddux was a four-time Cy Young winner. / H. Darr Beiser, USA TODAY Sports
Craig Biggio is a victim of a new era in Hall of Fame voting.
He has 3,060 hits and, more importantly these days, survived baseball's steroid era without taint or even innuendo.
And Wednesday he became the second player in 62 years with 3,000 hits to get a thumbs-down from the Baseball Writers Association of America â?? the first was Rafael Palmeiro, a proven steroid user.
The voting is only going to get more controversial, more crowded.
The key number is no longer how close a player came but how many of his 15 years of eligibility remain.
Biggio has little to worry about. Getting within 39 votes on his first try pretty much ensures he'll get to Cooperstown soon.
But Jack Morris has one year left and his momentum nearly stalled this year at 67.7%. Tim Raines at 52.2% has a better chance if only because he has nine more years.
Newcomers to next year's ballot include Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas, Mike Mussina and Jeff Kent. In another time, the likes of Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza would be off the ballot because they'd have been elected.
Instead, they'll not only continue to crowd the ballot but also drain away much of the attention.
Given this year's results, only Maddux can be considered a sure thing in 2014. Not Glavine's 305 victories? Not Thomas' 521 homers and two MVPs?
Tell that to Biggio.
"That's ridiculous. That doesn't make any sense. That's a travesty," Jeff Bagwell, Biggio's long-time Astros teammate told Houston TV station KRIV. "You're talking about 3,000 hits and you don't get in on the first ballot. That sucks."
You can quibble with Bagwell's choice of adjectives, which he also could have considered applying to his own 59.6% vote total, but he's correct that stiffer standards were applied.
Palmeiro notwithstanding, not since Paul Waner in 1951 has 3,000 hits not been enough. Waner was elected the next year and 17 3,000-hit men since have gotten in on their first opportunity.
It's a new day â?? but not necessarily a clearer one.

This odorous excuse of humanity brings the stench of Clinton wherever he goes.
If the state elects this clown they deserve the results. But with N.E. liberals the state is in line to change its name from commonwealth to communist state.
I really need to carry my firearms to church.
The social conservatives have failed in their strategy and now are bringing down the GOP more generally. A large part of the problem is that they would not support economic conservatives unless they were also social conservatives (e.g. Romney). The result of that self-defeating strategy was that the liberal Dems took control of the government, and then steamrolled over the social conservative agenda. There really isn't much of it left at this point, and that means a candidate that advertises himself as a social conservative isn't able to offer much to his constituency that has not already been outlawed by the Democrats, and declared illegal by the courts.
The lesson for Republicans: If you want to push a social agenda, run for Pope.
Otherwise get the hell out of the way and yield to people who understand the more critical fiscal and constitutional matters threatening the very existence of the US representative republic.
McAuliffe is the poster-boy for cronyism - his millions were made by working the Federal subsidy system with help from his friends the Clintons
Watchdog.org has published much on this guy's background, and his attempts to silence them.
If VA votes this guy in, they deserve what comes after....
Really sad. Why dont people read the paper.
Another Clinton crony who is promising to ban guns and raise taxes. Why would anyone vote for this?
Cuccinelli is making the same mistake that Romney made against Obama -- he is playing too nice with his opponent. McAuliffe is a crook and has been gaming the system for decades. Cuccinelli must pound McAuliffe about this. Has the Global Crossing issue been communicated to the Virginian voter? How about GreenTech Automotive? It is under a federal investigation. McAuliffe is one of its founders.
Making nice with types like McAuliffe will not win elections -- he is too slick. After all, his companies scammed taxpayers of $millions, all fronted by his happy face.
He must be crushed. Does Cuccinelli have it within him?
Please remember who you vote for makes a big difference in America's future. Voting is our only recourse to get our country back.

Slightly Imperfect Past Hulk Event 'Future Imperfect' To Return Perhaps Less Imperfectly In The Future (Imperfect)
One of the more memorable Hulk stories in the character's long history, Peter David and George Pérez's Future Imperfect tale from 1993 saw the Hulk transported nearly 100 years into an imperfect dystopian future ruled by an even more powerful version of himself called, amazingly, the Masetro, and in complete command of his distinctly non-savage, less imperfect Bruce Banner mind.
in 2015, Marvel readers will be transported back to that alternate, imperfect future where there is only Hulk as part of what we are increasingly believing to be a dimension of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic's Secret Wars -- itself a callback of sorts to a famous if imperfect storyline of Marvel's past, whose possibly imperfect future arrival has been heralded by a torrent of teasers referencing other similarly momentous if imperfect events of the past.
This teaser, provided exclusively to ComicsAlliance, was drawn by Dale Keown, one of very few Hulk artists whose visions of the green goliath could be described as definitive.

Demystifying protein-based/strengthening hair products can be tough some times because hair product labels can be confusing. Even the list of ingredients can be misleading because protein ingredients will be list on intensive protein treatments, mild reconstructors, deep conditioners AND moisturizing conditioners.
If you use heat on your hair and/or perform chemical services (i.e. color, relax, etc). You should consider incorporating some form of protein-based hair product(s) into your hair regimen because these processes will inevitability result in the loss of the moisture and protein naturally occurring in your hair.
Proteins are essential in maintaining your hair's protein/moisture balance. They restructure the hair shaft to add strength, structure and/or elasticity to the hair. However, certain proteins are most often used for their ability to increase the hair's absorption of moisture. Below is a list of the different types of proteins you will likely encounter on the ingredients list of your hair products.
Shopping Tip: The higher the protein is listed on the ingredients list, the more of it there is in the product compared the ingredients that are listed after it. Below are some products and their protein ingredient(s).
Elucence Extended Moisture Repair Treatment (Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Silk)
Silk Elements MegaSilk Intense Conditioning Mayonnaise (Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Silk Amino Acids)

My journey through ovarian cancer - findings, tips and tricks.
Second pre-chemo check went well. Doctor was to change sickness tablets to take home after chemo. In happy mood jumped on the scales getting to know the routine – to be told I would weigh a lot less without my handbag and we had a good laugh. My file had to be found before nurse would take my blood so I wondered why I had to take the blood form home with me. Notice by ticket machine to say about cheaper parking – so my feed back worked. Then noticed there was something about pagers – which I hadn't seen before.
Next day received a phone call from chemo department – this idiot had religiously checked time but unfortunately left the June page down from looking up a previous appointment. Arrived late full of apologies.
Canula went in first time and no bruises after. Was told the reason the clients took the blood forms home as that they could fall out of the file if put in the file ………… why not clip in? Nurses were nice and cheerful and treatment went well. Noticed my surname was incorrect on the Carboplatin – perhaps this was the reason my treatment was late from pharmacy last time. I found out that I should have been told about cheaper parking, paging and given the after chemo instructions in written form at the pre chemo appointment with the nurse. I suggested these were put in with the Macmillian package. This would save time and money – and the Macmillan folder can be handed back for reuse.
Went to pharmacy pointed out correct name and collected medicine.
Early evening I was feeling sick and got out the sickness medicine to find out it was the same ineffective one. Also realised I had not been given the blood form to bring home. Phoned the hospital and after a number of goes got the staff nurse who told me to use the emergency number. I ended up taking the sickness medicine left over from hospital operation.
Then the violent sickness, diarrhea, high temperature and pain arrived. Not me – my husband. Lucky I was not being sick so started some days of looking after him, sorting meds for him, and the general nursing and cleaning needed in this situation. Not ideal when one has just had chemo. Place is not clean – it is sterilized!
Made mental note to ask the doctor to give me the new sickness tablet prescription at next appointment and I will waltz it up the corridor for collection. Will also ask for footstool as I had cramps in my feet afterwards.

I am not sure if we can use POJO that can handle multiple asynchronize requests? Since it has heavy logic we want to return the control back after it starts processin. What are the possibilities for this implementation?

tooo many people nowadays use Z3X or UFSx SarasSoft for flashing E1080F
Just use this method::
Select Model: E1080T
Flash it with any E1080F file
your set will be fine. No matter whatever software you use. By default E1080 will kill your E1080F phone.
So as far any Samsung F series stop working after flashing. You may try That perticular model with T file. I have not check that E1080T file work with E1080F, but I hope it doesn't make any mistake.
Best of luck guys

Tuesday April 22, 2003Three Women's Golfers Earn All-SEC Honors
Gainesville, FL
Gainesville, FL
Three members of the University of Florida women's golf team have earned All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors for the 2002-03 season, league officials announced Tuesday. Freshman Aimee Cho (Orlando, Fla.) was named First-Team All-SEC while junior Amanda Dick (Clearwater, Fla.) and senior Brittany Straza (Fort Myers, Fla.) were named to the second team.
Cho, the SEC Tournament Champion, recently captured the title as she shot an even-par 216 in three rounds of the SEC Tournament last weekend at the University Club of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky. She sealed her victory after sinking a 30-foot putt to birdie the last hole of the tournament. She became only the second Florida freshman to win the SEC title since Deb Richard won in 1982.
Cho currently leads the Lady Gators with a 74.11 stroke average, as 17-of-18 (94.44 percent) of her rounds played were counted toward the team score. After missing the fall portion of the season due to visa issues, Cho has competed in all six tournaments in the spring, including three second place finishes. Earlier in the season, she was also named the SEC Women's Golfer of the Week.
Dick, who has lowered her stroke average from 77.23 last season to 75.36 this season, has competed in nine tournaments for the Lady Gators this season. Dick recently placed 12th at the SEC Tournament, carding a 227. She recorded her best finish of the season at the Mercedes Benz Collegiate Championship in October where she finished tied for third place with a three-round score of 220. Dick also tied for fourth place, shooting a collegiate-low tournament score of 218, to help Florida to their second straight SunTrust Invitational title.
Straza, a three-time Second Team All-SEC honoree, currently ranks fourth on the team with a 75.86 stroke average. She recently finished tied for 20th place at the SEC Tournament after shooting a three-round 233. Straza's highest finish of the season came at the SunTrust Invitational as she tied for fourth place, carding a 218, including a two-under-par 70 in the third round. Straza finished the regular season with a 12th place finish at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, shooting a three-round 222. Straza was also recently named to the All-SEC Academic Honor Roll for the third straight year.
The Lady Gators await selections for the 2003 NCAA Regionals, to be announced Monday, April 28.

Climax Shots #4: Jacked in the box
Starring: Marilyn Martyn, Bunny Bleu, Mila, Bobbi Lee, and Alyssa Allure
The video quality is very inconsistent. The audio quality varies as well. The choice of music for some of the scenes is interesting.
Scene one: 4/10
This has to be one of the silliest scenes in the movie. The premise is a girl goes out onto the balcony while her boyfriend is practicing his golf swings. One of his golf balls hits her in the pussy. The do some stuff. The scene ends with her jerking him into her mouth. Thing is I didn�t see any cum. The girl has nice big breasts but her face is a little off.
Scene two: 5/10
Just an average scene. A couple in a kitchen that get it on. The guy eats her out for a bit before plugging her. The guy spanks her while she rides him. You can see the slap marks on her behind. Scene ends in an anal facial.
Scene three: 6/10
Two ugly guys and a hot slutty looking girl. This is a very interesting scene some of the angles are from below a glass table. There are some DPs. And the first time I�ve seen a double blowjob. It was totally nasty. One of the guys cums during it and you can see the cum spatter on the glass table (which we are looking through) You can even see some of the cum spurt over the other guys dick as she tries to blow them both.
The scene eventually ends and a lot of the cum is on the glass table which the girl licks up and spits out. There is a good minute or two of her just playing with it on the glass table.
Scene four: 6/10
Two guys in some 18th century British costumes are standing around watching some girl finger herself in a 18th century bed. This scene had totally fake moaning throughout. There is a lot of DPs and the choice of music is funny.
Scene five: 6/10
There is a girl in a sundress that gets right down to business. The music at the start of the scene is funny. This girl has a nice bubbly butt, and she says some funny dirty stuff now and then. "You shit fucker" "Fuck my shit whole." This is just so funny
Scene six: 4/10
This has some old lady doing some nasty stuff. She does some strange positions, DPing. She has a voracious appetite and screams a lot. Her breasts are rather saggy. And you can see a lot of pimples on her butt. Overall this was a boring scene. It was like watching some buddy�s old aunt do the nasty.
Scene seven: 5/10
This had so many potentials: The scene starts out with a blond in some dominatrix garb sucking off two guys in leather pants? I kept thinking of the gimp from Pulp Fiction. There is anal and a lot of finger fucking. A DP and the girl has a nasty large pimple on her butt. I was glad when this scene was over because it was the end of the DVD.
There are no menu�s it just goes straight into the movie. If you want a mediocre porno then look somewhere else. This was a rather uneventful movie. The sex wasn�t very hot, and a lot of the lighting was bad. Combined with inconsistent audio and video quality it is a rent me at best. Just because your movie has anal or DP doesn�t mean it�s going to be good. I would rather see hot sexy DVD without the really hardcore stuff to a lackluster film that throws an anal, DP, or anything else extreme just to catch attention.
Final word, this ain�t no EVIL_DVD. I probably would have had more enjoyment out of a hot shower.

Netherlands: Forced returns of Somalis to al-Shabaab areas can amount to 'death sentences'
The Netherlands' repeated attempts to forcibly return Somalis to areas controlled by the Islamist armed group al-Shabaab exposes them to grave risks of human rights abuses and would be a blatant violation of international law, Amnesty International said in a new briefing published today.
Assemblée générale
Soixante-neuvième session
9e & 10e séances plénières
Matin & après-midi
Au deuxième jour du débat général de la soixante-neuvième session de l'Assemblée générale, plusieurs chefs d'État et de gouvernement ont, aujourd'hui, insisté sur la nécessité de concentrer les efforts de la communauté internationale sur l'élimination de la pauvreté et la réduction des inégalités, deux fléaux qui alimentent l'extrémisme et le terrorisme.
Somalia - IOM has received USD 2.5 million from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands to strengthen the technical and human resource management capacity of Somali migration agencies.
IOM will use the funds to improve the border management capacity of the Federal Government of Somalia and the Puntland authorities to help them to better manage migration to and through Somalia, and to improve technical data collection.

Returns to South-Central Somalia Would Contravene UN Refugee Guidelines
(New York, February 21, 2013) – The Dutch government should not deport Somalis to any part of south-central Somalia, including Mogadishu, until security improves substantially, and the UN refugee agency has issued new guidelines, Human Rights Watch said today. In mid-February 2013, Dutch authorities said they planned to deport two rejected Somali asylum seekers, originally from Mogadishu, back to Somalia on February 20 and 23.
Le ralentissement économique pourrait affecter le niveau des cotisations futures
5 octobre 2012, Rome - Quelque 538 millions de dollars ont été mobilisés pour soutenir les programmes de la FAO au cours des huit premiers mois de 2012, soit une augmentation de 28 pour cent par rapport à la même période de l'année dernière, annonce aujourd'hui l'Organisation.
La recesión económica podría afectar a futuras contribuciones
5 Octubre 2012. Roma - La FAO ha anunciado que en los primeros ocho meses de 2012 sus programas recibieron un respaldo económico de más de 538 millones de dólares USA, lo que representa un incremento del 28 por ciento frente al mismo periodo del año pasado.
Economic downturn could affect level of future contributions
5 October 2012, Rome - Some $538 million was mobilized to support FAO programmes during the first eight months of 2012, representing a 28 percent increase on the same period last year, FAO announced today.
An IOM-charter flight carrying 275 stranded Ethiopian migrants from Yemen to the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa will leave Al-Hodeida airport on Tuesday (25/9/12.)
The flight, which was funded by a USD 2.1 donation from the Netherlands, follows two other Dutch-funded charters on Tuesday and Wednesday (18 & 19/9) of this week carrying another 551 migrants. A third charter, carrying 89 medical cases and victims of trafficking, funded by the USA, left Yemen earlier this month.
An overwhelming majority of Iraqi refugees 91.6% of refugees and asylum-seekers registered with UNHCR in Syria are from Iraq. The Government of Syria, which has continuously implemented a generous policy towards the stay of Iraqi refugees, estimates that the country hosts about one million Iraqis. 64.6% come from the region of Baghdad alone and 62.4% sought refuge in Syria five or more years ago. 35% of the 27,681 families registered are female-headed households.
Norway is to donate NOK 11 million to a new fund for Somalia. The international Stability Fund will improve the lives of Somalis by supporting local efforts to promote reconciliation.
"We would like to help bring about greater stability in Somalia by supporting development and the establishment of functioning authorities at the local level. People need to have access to health services and education," said Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim.
The House of Representatives has agreed to the contribution of an Autonomous Vessel Protection Detachment (AVPD) to Operation Atalanta, the EU mission concerned with protecting food transports to Somalia. The advantage of AVPDs is that the military personnel can be stationed directly on the ship in need of protection, so that no naval escort is necessary.
The Netherlands is already contributing to the operation with naval vessels, and it also stations Vessel Protection Detachments (VPD) on vulnerable Dutch merchant ships.
Every year, the plight and needs of many of the world's most vulnerable people are described in the Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP). This year's CAP spans 18 countries and outlines needs across key sectors.
The 2012 CAP clearly highlights that food insecurity continues to be compounded by protracted crisis situations, more frequent natural disasters, conflict, volatile food prices, harsh economic conditions and climate change.
Following his visit to Mogadishu, international cooperation minister Ben Knapen today announced that the Netherlands will provide an additional 10 million euros in emergency aid to Somalia. 'Somalia is at the heart of the crisis in the Horn of Africa. This is where help is needed most,' Mr Knapen said.
The additional 10 million euros comes on top of the more than 15 million euros in humanitarian aid already pledged to the region, bringing the Netherlands' total contribution towards fighting the crisis in the Horn of Africa to more than 25 million euros.
Drought in the Horn of Africa has left 12.4 million people in need of help. While international attention to the emergency has peaked in recent weeks, CERF funds have been addressing the crisis since rainfalls failed at the end of 2010. More than $94 million dollars has been allocated to drought-affected countries this year.
Today a delegation of diplomats, including staff of the Dutch embassy in Kenya, will be visiting the Dadaab refugee camps. The Kenyan government is cooperating fully in the reception of 600,000 refugees, including new refugees who are continuing to arrive. However, all these refugees are being housed in existing camps. During their visit the diplomats urged the opening of an extension of the existing Ifo camp. Dutch MP Ingrid de Caluwé has previously raised this issue in questions in parliament.

Eun Young (Joy) Shin, a Northwest University student and budding journalist, made a splash with her news clip "Kimchi in The Caf," which traveled overseas and landed on KTV-National Korean News.
Joy reported that Pioneer College Catering, Northwest University's campus dining provider, was now serving kimchi, a traditional Korean dish, in The Caf at Northwest University. This menu change followed a successful proposal from international students and the NU Student Development department to make the NU Caf more welcoming and inviting to students from other countries. International students are raving about this touch of home and the chance to share their culture through food.

Joy is a senior exchange student from Gachon University in Seoul, South Korea, and is studying through The Center for English Language Education (CELE) at Northwest University. Joy dreams of being a journalist and has been pursuing this passion at Northwest as a writer for the NU student magazine, The Talon, and through searching for an off-campus journalism internship. Although classes have been tough, Joy has been thoroughly enjoying her semester of learning and growing at Northwest.
The Center for English Language Education (CELE) provides intensive academic English instruction to students from around the world with the goal of developing scholars, leaders, and international professionals. Students can enroll for full-time CELE ESL studies, or they can register for individual ESL courses based on their language needs. Students may be conditionally admitted into NU undergraduate and master's degree programs contingent upon successful completion of the CELE program. CELE also has study abroad exchange partnerships with several Korean universities.
The Center for English Language Education wants its students to be successful both academically and socially during their time at NU. As illustrated by Joy, students pursue their passions and become fully involved in the NU community.
