Modular Development Plan of the Pan-European Transmission System 2050
e-Highway2050 aims at developing a methodology to support the planning of the Pan-European Transmission Network, focusing on 2020 to 2050, to ensure the reliable delivery of renewable electricity and pan-European market integration.
Running time: September 2012 – December 2015
The e-Highway2050 project consortium brings together the transnational expertise of partners from academia, industry, research and society in general. The combined effect of the pan-European cooperation between transmission system operators, companies, universities, research institutions, energy associations and an NGO facilitates a unique concentration of expertise in the field of transmission system expansion and the integration of renewable energies. The project is coordinated by RTE.

Theater's visually stunning effects help celebrate the seasons
Giant cacti, tumbleweeds attached to old lawnmowers, vultures made from bird cages and the obligatory bad guys bring people to the Old West in the Redmoon Theater's annual Winter Pageant, beginning Dec. 5.
Now in its 12th year, Redmoon's Winter Pageant celebrates the changing of the seasons, including the optimistic idea that spring will come.
"It's just a really great family show," says director Frank Maugeri. "It's really a giant picture book. The images come together and tell the story about a lonesome traveler who recently lost his best friend, his horse named Clop."
It's designed to appeal to both adults and children.
Using handmade puppets, mechanical devices and surprising visual tricks, the musical follows Lonesome Pete and a singing Man in the Moon, who guides Pete across the entire West.
Most importantly, Maugeri explains, the show emphasizes the power of people working together. "We wanted to create a production that includes as many community members as possible," he says. Chicago groups helped decorate the theater and create sets and props. Some are even in the performance.
The show involves the audience, including an original song people learn before the curtain rises. One lucky person at each show plays the role of the Stampede Caller, who can stop the production any time, calling for the entire cast to stampede. Maugeri says a more detailed explanation of the stampede is a secret until the show's opening, but he says that the spontaneity adds to the show's charm.
The Winter Pageant runs Dec. 5 through Jan. 11 at the Redmoon Theater, 1463 W. Hubbard St. in Chicago. Shows are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, 5 and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays, and 2 and 5 p.m. Sundays. Ticket prices range from $5 to $15. For information, call (312) 850-8440, ext. 111, or visit www.redmoon.org.

Volume 1, Episode 1: Monster celeb sighting! Frankie enters a contest on a radio station called KBLOOD. If she wins, a scary-cool band could play at Monster High™!
Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Ghoulia, and Draculaura hang around at the lockers listening to the radio, which plays a song by the Jaundice Brothers. After the song, the radio DJ announces a video contest for a high school to prove they deserve to have the Jaundice Brothers play at their homecoming dance the most. Frankie latches on immediately, declaring that Monster High must win.
The girls get a camera and start filming. For the first shot, Frankie gathers a group of students around her, whom cheer with her when she says that all of Monster High loves the Jaundice Brothers. For the next part, Frankie tells more about herself, that she is the new kid and just fifteen days old, and each of her friends follows with a short description of themselves. Clawdeen voices that she hopes the homecoming dance won't occur at a full moon, because then more will be fierce about her than just her fashion. Draculaura cheerily exclaims her love forthe Jaundice Brothers and Ghoulia follows that up with a deep thought in Zombie. Lagoona then takes the camera and tells about her love for surfing. Cleo and Deuce are last, their actions speaking more for them as a diva and a laid-back person than their words do. To avoid Cleo talking too much about herself, Clawdeen ends the recording.
On the day of the homecoming dance, the bell rings and students fill the hallway. The girls stand around the radio once more, and Frankie in particular is nervous about the outcome of the contest. As such, she accidentally knocks the radio to the ground and it breaks. The girls are horrified they can't know the outcome of the contest now, until they hear the door open and turn to see... the Jaundice Brothers! Soon, Monster High is dancing to the band's songs, the girls ecstatic about their achievement.
- The Jaundice Brothers are the Monster High version of the Jonas Brothers.
- The way each of the main cast introduces itself for the contest is a subtle way to also introduce the characters to the audience. The individual character parts were indeed used in "Meet [Character]" shorts uploaded on the Monster High YouTube channel.
- This webisode sees the first appearance of Scarah Screams, here still a backgrounder. In July 2011, she was pulled from backgrounder status and given a name, and in July 2012, a full personality.
- The TV special "New Ghoul @ School" takes place at the same time as "Jaundice Brothers", on account of Frankie being fifteen days old in both, and represents an alternative sub-continuity.
- Frankie Stein, Clawdeen Wolf, Lagoona Blue, Draculaura, Ghoulia Yelps, Scarah Screams, Cleo de Nile, and Deuce Gorgon make their webisode debuts.
- Frankie says the first line in the whole web series, with "This is my favorite part of the song!"
- Vampires have no reflection period, so Draculaura shouldn't be visible in the video. As will be revealed later, there is technology to make vampires visible, but as also revealed later, none of the students knew that at this time.
- The scene right after the recordings, when the bell rings and students crowd up the hallways, was also used as the intro scene of "The Hot Boy", only mirrored.

Sleep is possibly the most crucial aspect to address in the beginning of your health journey. Poor sleep creates increased stress and stress puts strain on your endocrine system, particularly your adrenals. This can be ill-afforded in your recovery process.
Sleep problems may be induced by a wide-range of factors, including psychological stress, gut dysbiosis, inflammatory problems and toxins, amongst others. When dealing with any health concern, it is vital to ensure that you find a solution to your sleep problems early on.
Always start with natural remedies and only progress towards adding prescription medications if desperately needed. Prescription sleeping medications are highly addictive and can create personality changes. It is usually best to use combinations of supplements and medications starting in low dosages and building up, rather than high dosages of one supplement or medication, as advised in Dr Teitelbaum's excellent work, "From Fatigued to Fantastic", chapter 6, 'A Good Night's sleep – the foundation of getting well'.
He advises several sleep tips and a combination of supplements/medicines noting, 'The best way to need less medication in the long run is to use as much as it takes to get seven to eight hours of solid sleep each night without waking or hangover for six months. When you are sleeping well and feeling better for six months, you can then decrease the treatments as long as you continue to get seven to eight hours of solid sleep each night without waking or hangover. Most people find that they can taper off all sleep medications after about eighteen months. Other people need to take some of the sleep treatments for years. This is okay".Please ensure that you purchase his book and read the chapter on sleep for full details on how to achieve proper sleep (the book also contains fantastic advise on adrenals, thyroid and other hormone treatment, and is an essential book.). Here are some simple tips to get you started – many find that they do not need to do more than the list below:
Practical steps during the day:
- Ensure that you do not nap after 2pm during the day (napping before this time, if you are tired, is fine).
- Take no caffeine after 3-4pm.
- Exercise after your evening meal e.g. 20 minute walk can increase your cortisol levels to improve sleep.
- Have a protein snack just before bed (e.g. fish, turkey, nuts, etc, or even the medical food Ultra Clear Sustain by Metagenics). Have some protein snacks available in case you wake. Protein should be consumed with each meal during the day.
- Use a slow-release Melatonin and take at the same time each night, 3mg before retiring. Your body likes a set circadian rhythm waking and retiring at the same times (even if sleep is less on a certain night). Teitelbaum notes that 'any hormone is safe when used within the body's normal range of production, saying 'I worry about toxicity when people take more than the body would normally make. For most people, all it takes to restore melatonin to normal levels is 1/2 milligram'. Start with this low dose and thereafter you can shift to a slightly higher dose if you have better effects with it. The usual recommendation is 2-3mg, and some recommend even higher. Sustained release melatonin help most. This is most likely to be effective if you have problems falling asleep as opposed to staying asleep.
- Consider Serenagen by Metagenics for calming the over-active system. Take 2 tablets in the evening. This is especially helpful for 'wired' personalities that struggle to shut-off at night.
- Ornithine: Dr Clark teaches us that ammonia-production from the bowels is often at the source of insomnia. Read her chapter on sleep problems and insomnia. Ornithine removes ammonia and induces sleep. She says, 'Start by taking two ornithine capsules (each 500 mg.) on the first night at bedtime. Take four the next night. Take six the night after and choose the dose you like best. Sometimes it takes five days to get enough ammonia out to get you sleeping. Meanwhile, of course, you are planning to kill your parasites and be done with insomnia in the most effective way of all'. Have some extra ornithine available and take if you wake at night, as this can often send you back to sleep quickly. Use for seven days before adding the next supplement. (The other compound that removes ammonia is Arginine, but MUST be taken in the morning on an empty stomach as it actually gives you energy. Take 1500-3000mg per day and add at the same time as ornithine.Taking ornithine at bedtime may give you so much energy the next day that you don't need to take arginine in the morning. But if going off caffeine (recommended) has you dragging yourself through the morning, take one arginine upon rising and another before lunch and supper. It can make you a bit irritable. Cut back if this happens.
If you have problems staying asleep:
- If you don't have problems falling asleep, but wake around 3-5am routinely, you usually have problems with your liver detoxification process. Support your liver's detoxification process by taking 400mg of Milk Thistle at bed-time, or use AdvaClear by Metagenics, which is a wonderful overall liver detoxification support and often gets people through the night, by supporting the liver pathways.
- Consider Tran-Q by Metagenics if you wake often. Take one tablet before bed and an extra one (or two) when you wake up at night. This calms the worrying/over-busy mind that wakes you up around 4am to deal with psychological issues. Combine this with a liver support before bed.
- Ornithine: This can also be helpful when you wake at night.
- Dr Clark states, 'Tryptophan(e), another amino acid, is about twice as powerful as ornithine.' Consider taking 2000-3000mg for the first week and shifting to a maintenance dose of 500-1000mg (see 'How to get a good nights sleep with Tryptophan'. Caution: asthmatics can have problems with tryptophane. Take one hour before bed time with a carbohydrate. 'It has been found best to administer this amino acid along with a carbohydrate source such as fruit juice because insulin, which is secreted after the carbohydrate load, has been found to help tryptophan absorption into the nervous system. Giving tryptophan along with other neutral amino acids blocks its absorption and prevents therapeutic results. Generally, tryptophan should be given away from a meal on an empty stomach along with a carbohydrate source for optimal therapeutic results '. [Reference]
- Dr Teitelbaum prefers 5-HTP and advises 100-400 milligrams at night. He says, 'When used for 12 weeks, a 300-400mg dose has been shown to reduce Fibromyalgia pain and often helps people to lose weight. 5-HTP is what your body uses to make serotonin, a neurotransmitter that improves the quality of sleep.' 5-HTP can be taken with meals without decreasing its effectiveness as its absorption is not affected by the presence of other amino acids. Sometimes taking this earlier in the day is more helpful than at bedtime.
- Try Tryptophan OR 5-HTP and maintain for several weeks. Start with Tryptophan, and shift to 5-HTP later if you do not have the required results. Tryptophan forms 5-HTP (which then forms melatonin and serotonin). But some people can have conversion problems (often due to mercury messing with the enzymes or low body temperatures) and will need the 5-HTP instead.
- Taking your quality omega oils at bedtime sometimes helps. Take a pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplying 1600mg EPA & 1200mg DHA per day.E.g: Metagenics EPA-DHA 720,
- Take magnesium (citrate or aspartate forms are best at night). Close to 400mg should do it.
- Bath in Epsom Salts before bed. Use 2 cups, or less, of BP/USP grade Epsom Salts in a hot bath and soak for about 20 minutes or longer.
- 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom salts can be taken orally four times a day to provide a source of magnesium and sulphate (sulfate). This can be very helpful for those individuals who have low levels of plasma sulphate and it is worth trying. Never take Epsom salts and calcium at the same time. It forms calcium sulphate which is Plaster of Paris. Taken apart there is no danger.
- Try collagen (must be hydrolyzed collagen) e.g. Genacol Dosage = 3 capsules at bedtime on an empty stomach. For some unclear reason this can induce a deep sleep and is a suitable and safe natural remedy for many.
- Adrenal and thyroid problems can cause or contribute to sleep problems. Have your adrenals tested with a cortisol saliva tests from a reputable lab e.g. DiagnosTechs. Some people need a low dose of cortisol/Hydrocortisone 2.5mg at bed-time (in conjunction with other adrenal treatment) to obtain enough cortisol to prevent blood sugar levels from plummeting at night and causing adrenaline to be released waking you. Protein snacks before bed will help in this department. Get your circadian rhythms of cortisol correct by checking with the four times a day saliva test.
- Other male and female hormones assist with sleep. Tests to find out what you are low (or high) in. This is often a good place to start. Much more detailed advice is found in Dr Teitelbaum's "From Fatigued to Fantastic", including how to use prescription medications to achieve your sleep goals if necessary. Check his SHINE protocol to see what other medications/supplements he suggests for sleep restoration.
- Bacteria and parasites are often at the seat of insomnia. Kill your parasites and do the bowel cleanse. Ensure that your gut ecology is healthy by doing a stool test. If you are not able to do this test, then take some good quality probiotics on an empty stomach, and see if your insomnia improves over time. Sometimes taking some digestive enzymes (preferably animal derived) before bed can also help digest food if you are lacking in enzymes, and this prevent it from making gas that can keep you awake.
- Sleep well…

Excellent work!
I've been working on a commission dungeon that is a flying tower, its a super fun project and I'm nearing completion on it. Before I add the finishing touches I thought I'd see if there was anything terribly off and get more than my just my own squinty mole eyes on it. Here's the mostly completed work:
Excellent work!
This look really awesome MCC! Great execution. The foreshortening and distance contrast as you get higher and higher looks great.
only thing im curious about is on the first level (above the basement) there are faces on the rugs. Was this intentional or tom foolery during the art process?

Distracted Learning: Cell Phone Cultures Class Breaks All the Rules
By Cathy Cruise
"No cell phones in class."
Nearly every student is familiar with this decree, whether it's delivered verbally or via course syllabus. But a new class at Mason actually requires students to bring their phones. And that's not all that makes this course notable.
The course ENGH 319 Cell Phone Cultures is being taught this semester by its creator Stephen Groening, assistant professor of Film and Media Studies. Groening is new to campus, having begun here last fall after serving as a postdoctoral Fellow in Modern Culture and Media Studies at Brown University. His cell phone course, he believes, actually played a role in landing him the position at Mason.
"On the job market, you're asked what sorts of courses you would teach if you got hired," he says. "I came up with the broad outlines of this syllabus and submitted it with my application materials for this job. And it got brought up in the job interview."
Cell Phone Cultures is part discourse, part scholarly theory, part YouTube videos and Gossip Girl clips, all peppered with observations, insights, and laughter. The newness of the course shows, but in a good way. While Groening is very much in control, there is a distinct off-the-cuff element to his teaching style. When questions are raised, many come from Groening himself.
"Would anyone like a word count?" he asks. "Would that be more helpful? I've never given this type of assignment before."
He's alluding to an informal paper in which students were asked to draw on ideas from assigned readings, while reflecting on how cell phones are used for private conversation in public.
The room buzzes with a quiet energy, and students respond with suggestions for more guidelines, a bigger page allowance. One asks, "Can I rant?" and another, "Can I swear?"
The course is currently over enrolled, and Groening attributes its popularity to students' obvious ties to the material. "The 'relatability' factor, as the students call it, is pretty high and that's to my advantage," he says. "They can immediately see a connection to their own lives. So that's one obstacle to teaching that I've already surmounted just by the nature of the material. I'm also lucky with this group of students. They're great and very enthusiastic. It's an elective, so they're here because they want to be, and that makes a big difference, too."
Brian Le, a communication major, says he enjoys the class because it allows him to express himself. "Steve is a real person," he says. "Not a professor that just stands there. Just talks at us. He actually wants us to interact and talk with everybody else in class."
History major Emily Clough says she signed up for the course because it looked interesting on the syllabus, and she hasn't been disappointed. "This class is awesome," she says. "It's the one I look forward most to each week. There's so much negativity about cell phones today, it's nice to hear some positives."
But how do you teach when students basically have carte blanche to text and surf the web? Groening says this simply creates more material for the course. "I see them," he says. "I know they're texting their friends during class. But it's just more for them to think about and more for me to think about. When I was a student, I wasn't paying attention all the time either. I was doodling, thinking about other things. The question is, Does it distract the people around you? That's when it's disruptive. And so far it hasn't been."
Since so many students today use mobile phones as research tools, Groening says it's to his advantage that they can look things up, access assigned readings online, and download materials right onto their phones. One student, Groening says, actually wrote an entire paper on her phone while she was on the Metro.
"She just opened up a text application and wrote the whole thing on the subway," he says. "I would love to require that, but one of the obstacles to this course is that I don't know that all the students will have a cell phone or what capabilities they will have."
To work around this problem, Groening had his students complete a survey to tell him what types of phones and operating systems they use and whether they can take photographs and videos. He lucked out.
"There were only three students who didn't have video [capabilities]," he says. "Everything else they could do—text, take pictures, access the Internet. So for the video exercise, those three people are going to team up into groups."
This exercise, a field research project, will require students use their phones to record videos of people using their phones in unusual, annoying, or interesting ways. These segments will then be posted to a class wiki (students are asked to have wiki, Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail accounts) so they can be viewed by everyone.
Clough, for one, can't wait to begin. "I'm really looking forward to that project," she says. "Because I know a lot of great examples of cell phone use in public that I find both interesting and ridiculous, so that will be a lot of fun."
Another assignment will be a "silent class," in which all conversation will be conducted entirely via Twitter. Tweets will be displayed on several projectors in the room, and students will be evaluated on their remarks about issues from required readings, their conversations with classmates, and their thoughts on the act of texting and tweeting itself.
So what could possibly top these assignments?
A flash mob, of course.
"I don't know about everybody else in class," says Le. "But when I first saw it on the syllabus, I was thinking we're going to study a flash mob, we were going to find one and participate in it. But Steve was like, no, you're going to create your own flash mob. And that's crazy. I've never had any kind of final exam that is remotely similar to that."
For this assignment, the class will break into groups to form and participate in flash mobs right on campus. Groening admits even he's unsure of how this project will pan out. "People of a certain generation associate flash mobs with disruption, illicit activities, robberies, riots," he says. "I specifically say in the syllabus you can't violate any university policies. I'm hoping the class will be able to show a more benign, spontaneous, organized activity with this tool so many people say is about disorganization and distraction."
In addition to teaching, Groening is working on his first book, Cinema Beyond Territory: Inflight Entertainment and Atmospheres of Globalization. The work explores the history of inflight movies and television, and the connection between the entertainment and transportation industries. The subject matter, Groening says, overlaps with the cell phone course in its exploration of mobility and mediation.
"This idea that you can be in constant contact with people on the ground," he says, "and the kind of distracted viewing that students may have in class—where they look up at a professor then down at their phones, like looking up at a movie on an airplane, then down at a book or meal. Also how both forms assume people are always on the move, and how these technologies encourage us to stay on the move."
As for Cell Phone Cultures, Groening plans to teach the class again next year and hopes to expand on its content. That's good news for Clough and Le, who have already encouraged others to sign up.
"I'll tell my friends and also anybody else who's going to be interested in films and media studies," Le says. "This class rocks."

MTA officials to meet MARC passengers
Managers from the Maryland Transit Administration will be at the West Baltimore MARC station from 4:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. to meet with Penn Line passengers if weather permits.
After what happened Monday, that's pretty brave of them. (A whole lot of people were left sweltering aboard a stalled train.)

As the Rim Fire roars through the Stanislaus National Forest west of Yosemite National Park, threatening the city of Tuolumne, the park itself and the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, one has cause to remember that national forests seem to burn a lot more than private forests do. Part of the reason for that is that national forests occupy much more land in California than private forests. The other reason is management philosophy.
Private forests are managed to maximize timber yields. These forests, when harvested, are mostly clear-cut and quickly replanted. Underbrush is regularly cleared. National forests, on the other hand, are managed for recreational and environmental purposes. Underbrush generally isn't cleared. Fires start more easily in this underbrush and spread quicker as a result.
Unless buildings, people or national monuments are endangered, as in the Rim Fire, some blazes in national forests may be left to burn or maybe only minimally controlled. This "let it burn" philosophy is controversial, but some national foresters fervently believe in it. That philosophy hardly ever would be in use on private forest lands, where preserving trees for harvest, then replanting after they are cut, are the goals.
A solemn pact among civilized nations has kept poison gas out of wars since the end of World War I. Now, we are seeing violations of this law by Syria's ruling despot, Bashar al-Assad. The question is: Whose responsibility is it to enforce the law?
President Obama has drawn a fictional "red line," which he says Assad must not cross; Secretary of State John Kerry has called the use of gas on civilians a "moral obscenity." Yet, among civilized nations, including ours, there is little appetite for armed intervention.
Perhaps the thing to do is let the Arab nations sort it out, while we stand by to assist Israel in the event it is attacked and retaliates. Israel has the most pressing likelihood to have to defend itself, not to mention the guts to do it. Our record of intervening in Arab affairs the past 12 years has not resulted in good outcomes. Except, of course, for the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Gaming Geek with the Gift of Gab
Published in Inside - Volume XV, No. 5
When it comes to "performing" super-human feats like leaping off rapidly descending elevators or rolling giant spheres around a gravity-shifting room, mere mortal Phillip Stewart, a third-year TC graduate student, doesn't even blink. Why? For one, the self-professed gaming fan grew up glued to Nintendo classics, such as Super Mario Brothers and Metroid. And as any gaming aficionado knows, in a virtual world, anything is possible.
When applying his extensive gaming knowledge to his academic life, Stewart adopts a similar attitude—and recently, that's paid off. In 2009, Stewart was awarded the ninth annual Walter Sidlinger Writing Award for his essay "Physics Geeks and Game Readiness," which explores how conceptual physics students interact with the 3D serious game Physics Geeks and whether or not the game, a brainchild of the Virtual Learning Worlds team at Columbia University, facilitates learning.
Physics Geeks was brought to its imaginative life by the collective efforts of Susan Dreher of the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning, who acted as the primary software developer; programmer Rob Lane of Columbia's National Science Digital Library, who served as project manager for Physics Geeks; and Stewart, who designed the educational content of the virtual worlds.
"The goal of the game is for students to interact with physical objects in a way that's not possible in the real world," says Stewart. "The site exaggerates what mechanics do to make the physics more obvious. So the elevator module exaggerates speed and acceleration of the elevator so that if, say, the elevator is going upwards and you jump off, you continue to go upwards for a while before gravity brings your speed down to zero, and you then start falling to the ground. In the real world, you would not continue upwards for an obvious moment of time—nor could you jump off the elevator in the first place without losing your life. In the Doppler Effect module, as they walk toward the train, they can see a graph of the pitch shift and see how the sound is changing. In the real world, you cannot tell what notes a police car is giving off."
The games, which Stewart hopes to study further as he begins his dissertation next year, "could save money for science programs that can't buy the physical equipment." He said the hope was that virtual worlds, or "physics playgrounds," could be created as spaces where students from different geographical areas could learn together, similar to Quest Atlantis, an international learning and teaching project of
that utilizes a 3D multi-user environment to immerse children, ages 9-15, in educational tasks. Indiana University
Stewart, who credits TC faculty member Jessica Hammer's "Video Games and Education" course as a transformative event in his academic career, says, "The class really broadened my horizons and gave me the vocabulary to talk about games in a critical way, making me want to ask, 'What can we learn about games as educators? Why not figure out what they're doing that works and apply that in school?'"
Stewart combines his love of technology and games with a strong affinity for writing, as evidenced by his winning the Sidlinger Award's $1,000 prize. Cormac McCarthy and Raymond Carver are his favorite authors. But it was in the humanities program at
, where Stewart earned an undergraduate degree in physics and minored in music, that his writing earned him what, for a computer geek, might be the highest praise of all. Davidson University
"They asked me if I was an English major," he says.previous page

Wilson W. Wyatt, Sr., Politician and Philanthropist
Speak of politics and even history in Louisville and the subject of this Et Cetera may spring to mind.
Wilson Watkins Wyatt, Sr. was born November 21, 1905. He grew up in the Highlands neighborhood and attended both the University of Louisville and the Jefferson School of Law. He became an attorney at just 21 years-old and was counsel for the Courier-Journal and other Bingham family enterprises before entering into politics.
Wilson Wyatt became Louisvilles wartime mayor in 1941 and was the youngest mayor in the history of the city.
Considered to be one of Louisvilles most progressive leaders, Wyatt set up the Louisville Area Development Association (LADA), which created the occupational tax and the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD). He was also responsible for the first combined city-county planning commission.
Even before his term ended, Washington called Wilson Wyatt to the national arena.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt chose him to lead the Board of Economic Welfares mission to Africa. And in between practicing law in Louisville, he was Czar of Housing under President Truman and President Kennedy made him a mediator to Indonesia, which helped avoid an international oil crisis.
Elected in 1959, Wilson Wyatt served one term as Kentuckys lieutenant governor, and his partnership with Governor Bert Combs has been referred to as one of the greatest in state government.
After 1968, Wilson Wyatt never again held a public office. Instead he focused on philanthropy and helping to train Louisvilles next generation of leaders, including co-founding Leadership Louisville. He also served on the boards of Bellarmine University and the University of Louisville, where the School of Law building is named in his honor.
Additional facts about Wilson W. Wyatt, Sr.:
- His first case was a divorce settlement that netted him a whopping $14!
- He married Anne Kinnaird Duncan in 1930. The couple had three children: Mary Anne, Nancy and Wilson Junior.

Both sides had struggled for a win in recent times but it was Augsburg who started off the better, with Tobias Werner delighting the SGL Arena crowd with his second-minute goal.
Chelsea loanee Kevin De Bryune has enjoyed an impressive start to the season at Werder and the Belgian levelled proceedings on 19 minutes, but parity did not last long.
Stephan Hain was the man responsible for firing Augsburg ahead and it was an advantage they carried into the half-time break.
Werder pushed for an equaliser, with manager Thomas Schaaf making a raft of attacking changes, but it failed to pay off as Daniel Baier's first ever Bundesliga goal, netted 18 minutes from time, sealed the win for Augsburg.
Augsburg climbed off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone as a result of the victory, moving to 15th.
Werder's defeat cost them a chance of moving clear of the five sides on seven points, with Schaaf's men dropping to 11th.

Annotations for
Year of the Bomb
Baker & Taylor
In 1955, as "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is filmed in their hometown, Paul and his friends discover a real enemy when they go against a young government agent looking for communists at a nearby university and on the movie set.
Baker & Taylor
Set in 1955, horror film fans Paul and his friends are excited when they meet movie extras who are working on a horror film in their town, but when rumors of a Communist conspiracy begin to circulate, Paul and the boys have to figure a way out of the strange situation in which they find themselves before things take a dangerous turn.
Simon and Schuster
The year is 1955, and there's nothing that Paul and his best friends, Oz, Arnie, and Crank, love more than horror movies. So when Invasion of the Body Snatchers starts filming in their small California town, they couldn't be more excited. But when their acquaintance with Laura and Darryl, extras on the movie, leads to an involvement in a possible Communist conspiracy, Paul is afraid that they're in too deep. It's not a horror movie anymore--this is real life. From acclaimed storyteller Ronald Kidd comes this coming-of-age tale about taking a stand, following the crowd, and navigating the gray areas in between.

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. -- A standing room only rally in this suburban working class community showed a deep determination to overcome the months long Congressional stalemate that has prevented action on jobs, health care, immigration reform and other people's needs.
Michigan Health Care for America Now Director and rally organizer John Freeman said we are here "to send a strong signal to Washington to move with urgency and passion to address these issues."
If one of the rally's goals was to boost people's confidence it succeeded said peace activist Laura Dewey.
"People were feeling down because they want action on issues. Tonight was good both for our morale and to counteract the Tea Baggers. We have to let people know that even though things have not gone their way, there are still things we can do and to not give up."
One of those things to do is to make calls and send messages to your Senators and House members and organizers of the rally made it easy by making available laptops and cell phones.
Chris Michalakis from Reform Immigration for America and the Legislative & Political Director for United Food and Commercial Workers said we need comprehensive immigration reform that keeps families together and punishes unscrupulous employers, not people.
After the rally he told me, "When you have workers work under the radar like that it is easy for them to be exploited. They are not subject to labor laws, minimum wages laws or anything like that and of course they live in fear of immigration. It is absolutely a threat to all workers when employers take advantage of undocumented workers."
The most dramatic testimony came from Marcia Boehm as she spoke about her personal health care crisis. Although employed as a college professor for fifteen years, Boehm is uninsured. She is suffering from an untreated broken hip and is "sucking it up."
She said too many people are forced to choose between paying rent or buying food and paying for their health care. We need to think about what kind of American we want, "It's not just for the rich to get what you need."
"Change doesn't happen from the top down, it happens from the bottom up" said Michigan Organizing for America Director Aletheia Henry. With premiums going up three times faster than wages, "Health care reform is necessary whether you have insurance or not."
Michigan peace activist Al Fishman received an enthusiastic reception. He noted it was a Republican president who warned of the growing influence of a military industrial complex, now a six decade long addiction to militarism. "One half of our budget, more or less, has gone for the weapons of war," he said. The audience erupted with sustained applause when he declared "Those dollar dollars could have been spent on education, on health care, and jobs."
Fishman said it is necessary for the people's movement to regain the momentum. "It is our responsibility to reinvigorate the spirit of 2008, 'We are the people we've been waiting for,'" he said to a thunderous roar.
Dave Ivers, representing Detroit Metropolitan AFL-CIO, said "labor's agenda is your agenda." Citing the need for labor law reform, he said "over fifty percent of workers would like to join a union. I've been an organizer, I've seen workers fired. One night we had 29 signed cards, 29 people registered to vote on a contract, the next morning they went to work and all of the equipment was moved out of the shop. None of them had jobs anymore."
Both Reps. Sander Levin and John Conyers addressed the crowd. Levin said the unemployment rate for people making less than $12,000 a year is 31 percent; our number one job is to get America back to work. Conyers, the sponsor of a single payer national heath care plan indicated he is not enthusiastic about proposed health care legislation but added, "I have come to the conclusion that it is better to take whatever we can get and then build forward from that."
"Moving the country forward depends on us," said Dewey, "we are the President's spine; I feel he would welcome that."

A skid steer loader is a flexible machine, as well as a need to have for anyone in landscaping, construction, farming, or logging. They have a stiff frame in addition to lift arms you may connect numerous tools and skid steer loader accessories to. Loaders could be track-equipped as well as four-wheel drive.
The drive system in the loader features no transmission. Alternatively, it utilizes pumps along with hydraulic motors in order to power the wheels or tracks. Wheels may drive separately of each other, which in turn tends to make them extremely maneuverable.
The skid steer loader receives its name from the way its fixed wheels skid with the moving wheels. Because the left-side drive wheels or track operate separately from the right-side, these loaders can turn with zero-radius. This helps make them compact as well as practical in tight conditions. Fortunately they are light enough to be towed behind a truck.
In contrast to a front loader, that has arms and pivot points to the front of the machine, the arms with this machine run alongside the driver, as well as the pivot points sit behind the operator. These kinds of loaders include fully-enclosed cabs as well as other features that safeguard the operator.
There are actually various specialized skid steer loader attachments, that may replace the standard loader bucket. Such as backhoes, mowers, concrete breakers, pallet forks, angle brooms, tillers, sweepers, augers, snow blowers, stump grinders, tree spades, trenchers, dumping hoppers, rippers, rollers, snow blades, wheel saws, cement mixers, and log splitters. Many of these are usually driven by the hydraulic system.
Although brand-new loaders may well cost anywhere from $25k to $40k, good used loaders can be purchased for selling prices between $10k to $15k.
Skid steer loaders are amazing tools as well as make a superb addition to almost any landscaping or construction company, farm, or logging operation. They require little operator training. Their light weight and compact size permits them to be towed by pickups, and also the loader's zero radius turning tends to make them valuable in tight conditions. The variety of accessories also helps make the skid steer loader beneficial.

Brick Mansions was the final film Paul Walker completed before his death this past November. For that reason alone, it's bound to draw attention — it's an opportunity for the actor's fans to grieve and to get one last fully-finished look at Walker doing what Walker did best: driving souped-up muscle cars, elbowing dudes in the face, and being around things that may or may not (but almost always do) explode.
Which Brick Mansions is certainly stuffed full of. But seeing as the film is a remake of the 2004 parkour flick District B13, there's probably a substantial amount of dudes-running-up-walls as well. Walker plays an undercover cop in a dystopian future Detroit (a dead ringer for our dystopian present Detroit) who must infiltrate a tenement building to disarm a dangerous warhead being held inside. Accompanying Walker on his quest are RZA and David Belle, the latter being the star of the original District B13 and the actual founder of Parkour.
From the thirty-odd seconds on display in this first teaser trailer, it looks like Belle will be the one busting out most of the parkour moves. Which makes sense for obvious reasons; he is the guy who first looked at a bare cement wall and though "extreme sports" rather than "this is a wall."
Walker, on the other hand, is mostly on driving/punching duty, at least from this particular teaser. He does get in one totally sick jump in the teaser's opening moments, but keep watching and you'll see that jump end in Walker plummeting several stories down the side of a building. Presumably he grabs a handhold somewhere. Or there's a conveniently-placed trampoline at the bottom, leading to a totally awesome bounce-fighting sequence.
Watch the teaser for Brick Mansions below. The film opens on April 28th.

is it bad to let a baby always nap in a swing?
my daughter is almost 2 months old now, i've tried to get her to nap in the bed the past few weeks to see if it will help her sleep longer instead of catnapping the whole way through her naps but it doesn't really seem to help that much plus its very difficult to get her down for a nap in her bed. she sleeps great in it at night but she just doesn't seem that crazy about it in the day time. is it bad to let her take all of her naps in her swing?

thats funny cause my daughter napped for 1-2 hours in a swing, but in bed it was only 15-20 minute naps. And a nap is a nap no matter where your baby sleeps, car, stroller, swing. sleep is sleep. I would rather have her sleep in a swing rather than be screaming herself to sleep in a bed.posted 05/07/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Not bad at all. My baby is like yours...a catnapper. At first he would only nap on my chest. Later we progressed to napping in his bouncer. And then the swing. Now he's 8mos, finally able to lay him down for naps. 3 naps a day. 30mins each nap. I don't see anything wrong with it. I believe in attending to my child and do whatever it works. Give time, your baby will grow out of it eventually too.posted 05/01/2012 by JaviMamee
I have to disagree. Babies don't sleep as deeply in swings/strollers/cars. That's why they wake up as soon as you stop. If that is the only way your baby will nap, then go for it because it's important that they nap. But if you can get them to nap in a crib/pack n play/whatever, I feel that is better. They eventually outgrow the swing, so you might as well break the habit as early as possible. Also, I knew my daughter would be going to daycare full time at 13 weeks and daycares in my state must put infants to sleep in an "individual crib, portacrib, playpen or bassinet" on their backs and unrestrained.posted 05/23/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I think it's worth the effort to get her to fall asleep in a bed. (I don't mean to suggest anyone is lazy!! I just mean that it was tough getting my daughter to go down for naps for a little bit, so took extra effort from me.) The quality of sleep in a swing/stroller/car is not as good. When my daughter was around 8 weeks, I had to start putting a lot of effort into getting her to fall asleep for naps. I could easily walk her around for 20 minutes just so she'd take a 30 minute nap. But after a couple weeks, it took less and less time to get her to go down for 45 minutes. (A lot of babies will nap for 1-2 hours at a time, but she didn't do that until she went to daycare and now she does at home sometimes.)posted 05/07/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Agree with pp, our daughter has slept great (all night) in her crib since 1 month old but never took to naps in her crib, so swing it was...she's now 8 months old and has napped in a crib at daycare for several months now, but still won't nap in the day in her crib at home. Might be because we have a 2 story house and she somehow "knows" she's more alone upstairs since it's in the day and we'd be downstairs. IDK, but she's still in her swing on the weekends at home and hasn't been a big deal, she still fits in it.posted 05/02/2012 by Spamola
We let our daughter nap in her swing until she grew out of it. She was colicky the first 3 months and it was the only way i could get a break. Now shes 7 months and naps fine.posted 05/01/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Shippensburg Adventure Game Camp
Nearly thirty years ago, there was a summer camp for D&D. Yes that's right, a summer camp where instead of basket weaving and archery, you played Dungeons & Dragons. I went all five years it ran, three years as a camper and two as a councilor. And yes, it was awesome.
There is about zero information about the Shippensburg D&D camp on the internet, so I agreed to do an interview for posterity's sake. You can read my write-up for yourself, but be warned, it is an epic tale of 80's gaming nostalgia:
My Shippensburg Adventure Game Camp Interview
One other camp attendee has already replied to the post. Could there be more? There were about three hundred gamers who went to the camp. They have to be out there somewhere…
CORRECTION: It's buried somewhere in the comments, but with detective work we verified that the infamous newspaper article was in '84, not '85. So it didn't immediately kill the camp.

Magazine article International Bulletin of Missionary Research
The Meaning of Life in the World Religions/Love, Sex, and Gender in the World Religions/Ethics in the World Religions
Article excerpt
The Meaning of Life in the World Religions. Edited by Joseph Runzo and Nancy M. Martin. Oxford: Oneworld, 2000. Pp. xvi, 330. Paperback £14.99 / $23.95.
Love, Sex, and Gender in the World Religions. Edited by Joseph Runzo and Nancy M. Martin. Oxford: Oneworld, 2000. Pp. xvi, 320. Paperback £14.99 / $23.95.
Ethics in the World Religions. Edited by Joseph Runzo and Nancy M. Martin. Oxford: Oneworld, 2001. Pp. xvii, 381. Paperback £14.99 / $23.95.
These books are the first three volumes in the Library of Global Ethics and Religion. They each consist of papers presented at conferences held at Chapman University in Orange, California, in 1997, 1998, and 2000. Huntington, Francis, and Griset Lectureship funds were used to sponsor all three conferences; the last was also sponsored by Loyola Marymount College of Liberal Arts and its Program in Asian and Pacific Studies.
The spirit of these conferences arises from an evident desire to find ethical universale among the world's religions, while at the same time showing critical respect for differences of expression of those same universale in the discrete religious traditions. They offer a "pluralistic and global perspective on questions of religion and ethics" (Meaning of Life, p. xv). The first volume is dedicated to John Hick and Huston Smith, the second to Julius Lipner and Arvind Sharma, and the third to Keith Ward and Chris Chappie. The editors are professors in the religious studies department of Chapman University.
The volumes follow a consistent pattern. After two or three introductory articles setting the context of the issue (meaning, gender, and ethics) and its relationship to religion, scholars of Western religion give a Jewish, Christian, and Muslim view of a subject, followed by scholars of Asian religion giving a Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Chinese view. Articles are then presented that give a cross-religious view and global views. The content of the articles is excellent.
It is hard to imagine a better collection of scholars to address this fundamental issue of ethical cooperation among religions in order to address the problems of the world as they relate to meaning, gender, and ethics. …

ITM Mumbai is still better. I will not say a very very good college, but yes a decent one.
IBS GGN , i know for sure, (as I know people from there) is of no use.
If you want to study in clean and cool environment of tourist place like Shimla, you can try Shoolini university. I am not promoting it but it is first Biotech university of India and that means something. Their MBA program is affiliated to AICTE. I gave a visit there recently ,Being a new university they are giving their best short which could be fruitful to new students. rest is upon you.
I wish u all best of luck
Did someone go through shoolini university website.
I have received a favorable report about MBA program of shoolini university.
Shoolini University is the First Bio-tech University of India.
Placed between two bustling cities of Chandigarh and Shimla, Shoolini University lies at the foothills of the Himalayas.
Great Place to study in cool environment.

Great on skin

I have been using it on facial skin, I mix it with an oil since it has a sticky consistency. But so far I did not break out. I have been using it for two-three weeks.
Posted by 5154170390377322146 on Mar 09, 2015
I like that this product is pure and no other oil added so I can add my oil to it !Too sticky to be used undiluted. skin feels nice and smooth..
Finally with this product my nails don't break and I can do nice manicure!

I only used it a bit and I think my skin got better. It is quite hard to use though.
Results can be noticed after a period of usage
Posted by 5663885162004096988 on Jan 19, 2014
Some lightening of scars are observed after 3 weeks of usage. The consistency of the oil is very thick and hard to apply, however it works very well when mixed with a simple carrier oil like pure avocado / coconut oil
Muito bom!

vitamina E, muito bom rendimento, textura bem grossa, amei! quando usado só a pele fica um pouco oleosa, por isso sempre misturo a outros oleos!
Good price and good quality
Posted by SurieSue on Jun 13, 2013
I love this product (even if it's a little bit sticky). I use it before I go to bed, and the morning my skin is bright and smooth. The scars disapear gradually. For the price, it's a very good product
This is SYNTHETIC, not natural!
Posted by underfundig on Mar 27, 2013
I bought this product to help with acne scarring on my face and it helped somewhat, though nothing major. And it's so sticky, which is annoying. After using this for a while I tried rose hip oil instead which works SO much better (and non-sticky). Then I found out that it is in fact NOT NATURAL, even though it is advertised as such. I beauty blog I read contacted Jason directly and they themselves said that it is synthetic. I will not use this brand anymore as they can't be trusted to tell the truth about the ingredients in their products. Disappointed!
