From 2 to 13 March 2015, Dr. Thomas Raasen conducted a new working visit to Kagando Hospital, in the western district of Kasese, near the Congolese border, on behalf of WAHA International.
As the Ebola outbreak is notably reducing, WAHA International has partnered with the Liberian government's efforts to allow the start of classes to happen after seven months of school closures.
WAHA International is extremely pleased to announce that its Country Representative in Ethiopia, Dr Mulu Muleta, has been awarded the Knight medal of the Order of the Légion d'Honneur, the highest decoration in France, for her commitment towards the health of women in impoverished areas of Africa.
Long-time WAHA International collaborator and world-renown fistula surgeon Dr. Thomas Raassen travelled to Gidel, Sudan in November 2014 to provide fistula repair surgery to 20 women from the South Kordofan region.
WAHA International is implementing a skills-based training program for former fistula patients in Gondar, Ethiopia. The program aims to help the women establish income-generating activities so that they can rebuild their lives.
Women cannot wait for the Ebola outbreak to end to give birth. The Ebola epidemic has put a significant strain on the healthcare systems in the affected countries.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1103 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KayOlson Amazing customer service We had a domestic dispute in hallway that woke us at 3 am. Before I even had an opportunity to discuss it with the front desk we had a note of apology from manager and compensation for our disrupted rest. Much appreciated! June 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RJB1960 Good, but not great VERY comfortable bed. Housekeeping kept forgetting to refill the coffee supplies and the coffeemaker shoots coffee everywhere but in the cup. For a premium hotel in one of the world's most connected cities, charging extra for wifi is ridiculous.Parking was overpriced, too.. Staff friendly and responsive, concierge helpful. Great walking distance to all over downtown June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by klkggm Best for Pets! Pets 80lbs and under are allowed to stay at NO charge! This is why we keep coming back to the Westin! The floor design inside the circular towers is really pretty awesome too! June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PeggyAnn Attention to Detail Our stay at the Westin reminded me how the Westin always pays attention to detail. Things that matter to me are always there, Starbucks coffee for the in-room coffee. I'm shocked how many hotels don't have an in-room coffee maker. The shower had the removable shower wand, and the "rain" shower head too. Westin Seattle has fantastic views of the city or the mountain or water. The staff is always fantastic.They were a sponsor of the Rock n'Roll Seattle Marathon which my daughter ran in and there were cool things going on because of that. There are awesome restaurants in walking distance as well as all kinds of shopping. The waterfront is just a short walk. The Seattle Center is a short monorail ride to see. Perfect place to stay if you want to visit Seattle. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jennifer6 Marathon The Westin was great. Our room was ready on time. When we were done running and cam back to the hotel, they greeted us with a towel and cold water. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rb2175 June stay Comfortable hotel. Easy access to downtown shopping and restaurants. June 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jaxon60 Hotel okay, but lacks parking The hotel itself is fine and the young lady at the SPG Desk on our check in day and the following day was excellent. Unfortunately the hotel seems to lack adequate parking facilities. We had arranged for self parking as we were going to be in and out several times at odd hours. We left one morning to come back later in the morning only to be told we could no longer park there. The hotel should not sell parking for your stay if they are going to prevent you from parking later in the same day. For future stays in Seattle, if we have a car, we will find other accommodation. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ERoge Great Hotel This hotel is in a great location and as a visitor would stay in this hotel again. I attended a conference at this hotel, so I got a conference discounted rate, as a result, my room was right by the elevators... you hear "ding" all night long, and I had a low floor with buildings for a view. My colleague did not reserve his room in time for the "conference rate" so he paid $20 more, but had a view of the water, room wasn't by the elevator, etc. June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RonKam Another Great stay Our third stay at the Westin Seattle. no surprises or disappointments. A great downtown location and surprisingly quite. June 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tommy42 Nice hotel to stay Hotel is very nice. very clean. Would rather have had more drawers than the honor bar. have no place to put clothes if staying for more than 1-2 days. Otherwise, OK. June 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by EastSider This hotel is a fair value comparitively In comparison to the other price points for nearby Hotels, this one was fine. The food was terrible, we couldn't seem to get a blanket for the extra bed, the pool/hot tub area needs structural work, and we had no water pressure. On the plus side, the bed was great, the consierge was friendly and helpful. If I were to stay again, I would be a bit more demanding of staff and would also dine out. It was a good hike to local attractions, but we were up to it. Seattle has a real problem with their very aggressive street population. June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Denannza Relax/Work Wonderful city view as expected (with bonus partial water view). I like the option to forego housekeeping for the $5 credit (and of course to save resources); out of 4 days, I chose 2 to decline room cleaning. As I saw on another review, the weights/multipurpose weight machine room was too small for more than 2 people at a time. June 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MICHAELMR2 Bad from beginning to end This hotel is dated, tired and cramped. The pool is small, the rooms are small, and most staff members have a bad attitude. We found a shoe polisher in our ice bucket, the green choice program was confusing, they never checked to see if we ever wanted service, and when we asked for it, still got nothing. We were nickel and dimed the entire time, including $1.50 for a local call, all because we couldn't get cell service in our room. Avoid this location. Lastly, after a week long stay, we got no points for our stay as SPG MEMBERS. June 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lee1024 WONDERFUL HELPER We have stayed at the Westin Seattle three times in the last two years prior to a cruise. Twice have been with grandchildren. Lee Gojmerac has been a wonderful person who has helped us with getting a room that will accompany 4 people while having a wonderful few of the Space Needle. June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ginger400 Great for meetings This hotel was great for our conference. Plenty of break out rooms for small gatherings and larger rooms for more people. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by srsymphony Heavenly room I can't say enough about how wonderfully comfortable are Westin beds - worth alone the price of staying there. Also extraordinary window view right from the bed. Well conceived layout of the room and bathroom; loved the rainforest like shower head. Finally, great location and good recommendations from the concierge. June 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 6314 Westin Seattle Very nice stay, helpful and friendly staff, comfortable room. We would have liked more towels in the room - that is the only negative observation. Very convenient location for sightseeing, concert hall, restaurants, shopping June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Louies Westin Seattle = WOW !! Westin Seattle is a beautiful hotel with all the bells & whistles! Great staff, great rooms, great beds. The perfect place to stay while seeing Seattle ! June 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HHDD Helpful Staff I would like to thank Ben Olin and Kyle Arneson for making our stay at the Westin Seattle an amazing experience for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen celebration. The service they provided was exceptional making our stay an amazing experience! Their professional courtesy, helpfulness and attention to every detail was outstanding. We were so pleased with our stay and look forward to visiting the Westin Seattle again. June 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grantbus Great value on weekend Great hotel, big rooms, all facilities great coffee only one teeny thing wrong, the beautiful soap (shaped like a leaf) kept falling between the slits if he soap holder! Like a say, not a biggy! June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Schilly The hotel is very nice and the staff is excellent. The room was clean and cozy. The décor was really nice. The beds were excellent, made me get a new bed when I got home. Very nice shower. We really enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub. Staff was exceptional. June 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by jrmb18 Good Hotel Nice rooms and large lobby area but check in could use some brushing up. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy9a9 Great for families We were 4 adults and 6 children. Our party had a wonderful and fun time. Concierge service was splendid. Great location. June 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CAR52 Room Rooms are nice but not as large as I expected. Beds were comfortable. June 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jeanie55 Cost are high for benefits you receive & room was very dusty There are extra costs for things that are normally provided for free in most hotels, such as use of the refrigerator and use of the internet connection. I should not have to sign up to be a member in order to use internet. My room was not as clean as I would have expected. There was a blue ear plug on the floor by the bed during my stay (it was not mine). It was never picked up for the 2 days I allowed the cleaning staff to clean. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Judy45 The concierge service can't be beat! This hotel is centrally located for many great sites and restaurants. The concierge service was wonderful! We asked them several different questions and their recommendations turned into great experiences for us! We were a group of 3 women here for a sightseeing and restaurant experience. What fun! The beds are always great at Westins. That we can count on. The staff was as nice and helpful as could be. Good job! May 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rayp Great Hotel Our first trip to Seattle, and so happy we booked this hotel. Took train to location from airport, so no car rental required! The room was clean, and very comfortable. Not only is this hotel awesome, their hamburger won some kind of award in Seattle, and it was really, really good! You have to try it. May 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chegra First class hotel definitely will come back to this hotel May 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kstar88 This hotel has a great location, views, and bed This hotel was perfectly located and within walking distance of Public Market, Lake Union, Seattle Art Museum and the SAM Sculpture Park. If you are health conscious business traveler, Whole Foods is a 5 minute walk and in addition to the very clean hotel gym, there are lots of running options and several boutique yoga and spinning studios within easy walking distance. Very close to the Light Rail downtown stop and very convenient and easy to get to airport. May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Picky2 Great hotel I am a very picky person. This hotel was fantastic. The decor was modern and great choice of colors in room. Our room was a city view on an upper floor. Checking in and out of hotel was quick and easy. Great location, and a very easy walk from the "lite rail station"' about 1/2 block. I would highly recommend "The Westin". May 28, 2014

A photo of Bill Nicholson, a great player, manager and person in his own right, yet one player that its rare to see or hear about is John White, known as The Ghost by the faithful due to his ability to walk into opposing teams box without any ones knowledge.
A footballer so talented and important for our most famous team that in the 15 games he missed for us we won just once. His stats don't look too impressive, only 40 goals in 183 games for an inside forward, not the greatest but many of the greats have described White as one of the biggest tragedies in their careers.
White was brought to Tottenham on the recommendation of Danny Blanchflower and Dave MacKay, two of our best and most dominating central midfielders. He had been looked at by a number of teams but he looked weak and pale and the only reason the great Billy Nich risked a transfer was because of info from the army that told him that White was a very impressive cross country runner as well as a skilled footballer.
He helped transform our team, with him on our books we never once finished worse than 4th in the league and famously he helped win both the Double and the first European competition by an English side.
However, at the age of just 27 he was tragically struck down while on a golf course. White decided to shelter underneath a tree during a lightning storm and there a legend died at the age of 27.
It was a great shame for everyone involved and it robbed us of some of the best years of a truly amazing player.
I feel one of the best descriptions I have read of his talents was made by Cliff Jones "I say that he was like Glenn Hoddle. But he was different to Glenn in some ways. Glenn was someone who you had to bring into a game, whereas John White would bring himself into a game."
If any one has any more information they'd like to share, please post it below. I hope that some people have read to this point so they can see just how great a player White was and I hope some people will have learned a bit more.

I have a set of CSV files with about a 100k records in them. The records need to be visualized in an x-y diagram.
Specifically, I'm looking for:
- Seamless zooming in and out of the data
- Navigation on both axis
- A "trace mode" where I can trace the line with the cursor and the value under the cursor is displayed as text.
Does anyone know a tool capable of this?
I do often need to plot sensor data in charts and am currently using Excel for the purpose. Most of the time, I need line and scatter/xy plots with multiple series.
However, Excel charts are not interactive. I want to be able to easily zoom and pan in the data. Basically a data browser. I am looking for software recommendations for Windows or Mac. Anyone knows a good tool?
I've looked into a couple of Excel macros (always require custom VBA code) and the Grapher.app that ships with OS X (painful to import data, only xy plots).

The cute testicle crusher
Beware of this cute face, she's actually a testicle-crusher. Probably she read my blog entry about the "monkey stealing peach" move. You've been warned.
Chali Simon, a 19-year-old sophomore, went to Job Donkor's home at about 4 AM and became irate when he sought to remove her from the residence. That's when Simon allegedly "grabbed his testicles and squeezed hard," according to a police report. Donkor, 23, replied, "Yeah, it hurt a lot," when a cop asked about Simon's squeeze play.
She looks like Miley Cyrus tho'.

Born in Colorado and residing in Arizona, contemporary painter Michael Longo creates soft, beautiful scenes whose timeless, ethereal beauty is reminiscent of the work of master Impressionists. Known for landscapes filled with misty water gardens, he focuses less on the technical aspects of his work than his ability to recreate distinctive atmosphere. Beginning his career as an apprentice to a Belgian wood carver and furniture maker, the experience influenced Longo's art, giving it traditional sculptural qualities of space and depth. Enjoying sailing the waters surrounding Vancouver, British Columbia, Longo expresses the tranquility of its harbors and rivers in his artwork.

Android Market Update Rolls Out
Designed to aid developers in the commercial distribution of their applications, the new Google Android Market client streamlines the browse-to-purchase experience.
Discoverability and merchandising are only two of the improved areas of the Market client; a new carousel on the home and category screens were added as well. From the promoted applications page, users can flip through the carousel and can get to the download page for the applications they want faster and more efficiently. Also added to the app details page is Related content so users can find similar apps. In addition to the those improvements, developers have added both Widget and Live Wallpaper categories, with plans to add more popular games and applications categories.
During the next two weeks, users should begin seeing the Market client updates hit devices using Android versions 1.6 and higher.
For more information, see Eric Chu's post on the Android Developers Blog.

Exiled Hamas leader says Bush 'incited the Zionists' to raid Gaza
IDF kills 19 Palestinians in raids on Gaza Strip; Hamas leader Zahar's son among those killed.
Israel Defense Forces troops on Tuesday killed at least 19 Palestinians, including three civilians, in ground and air operations on the Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday evening, an IDF strike targeting a group of militants firing rockets into southern Israel killed two militants in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanun.
At least 17 Palestinains were killed earlier on Tuesday in raids on Gaza City. Of those, at least 14 were members of armed groups, and 13 of them were Hamas militants. One of the other fatalities was a 65-year-old man, Palestinians said.
The exiled leader of Hamas said Tuesday that the Gaza raids were the fruit of U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to the Middle East region.
Khaled Meshal, in an interview with The Associated Press in Damascus where he lives, accused Bush of inciting Israeli leaders.
"This crime is the ugly fruit of Bush's visit to the region. He has incited the Zionists and has exerted pressure on the Palestinian side to become more hardline against Palestinian dialogue," he said during the interview in his office.
"This proves that our people are great and our leaders sacrifice their sons. These are the real leaders that meld with their people and defend them, not those who infiltrate to the futile negotiating table with the Zionist entity, he said of Fatah."
Mashaal said Hamas will retaliate to the Gaza raid with more resistance, steadfastness and national unity.
"We will not offer more concessions because of these crimes," he added.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas denounced the raids as "a massacre" which would not be forgotten by the Palestinians.
"There was a massacre today against our people, and we say to the world that our people will not remain silent against such crimes," he said.
In a statement, the West Bank-based Palestinian government said Israel's "ugly crimes were a slap in the face" to efforts by Bush and the international community to resume peacemaking that would lead to the creation of a Palestinian state.
President Shimon Peres said as long as Gaza militants continue to fire rockets into the Jewish state, "we are left without a choice but to answer and stop it."
David baker, an official in the Prime Minister's Office, said of the attacks, "These measures will continue until these attacks cease and as to enable our citizens to live in peace in quiet and not to fall victim to incessant Palestinian terror."
One of the 17 killed in the Gaza City raids was the son of Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar, the last surviving founder of the Islamist group.
The fighting began late on Monday when IDF soldiers backed by tanks and helicopters entered the eastern Gaza City neighborhoods of Sejaiyeh and Zaitoun, trading fire with gunmen.
On Tuesday morning, a Palestinian sniper fired from the border area into Israel, killing a 21-year-old volunteer from Quito, Ecuador, who was working in a field near the kibbutz border fence, Ein Hashlosha's security chief said.
Clashes continued in Gaza through Tuesday afternoon.The violence demonstrated an appreciable escalation of fighting surrounding the Gaza Strip, where daily Qassam rocket attacks have been countered largely by Israeli air strikes against rocket crews and commanders of armed groups.
Some 45 Palestinians were wounded in the fighting, among them an 8-year-old boy who was seriously hurt, medical officials said.
Dr. Moaiya Hassanain of the Gaza Health Ministry said many of the dead and wounded lost limbs.
Because of the high number of casualties, Hassanain questioned whether IDF troops were using tank-fired flechette shells, an anti-personnel weapon that throws out thousands of metal darts
The IDF had no immediate comment on whether such munitions were used.
Shifa Hospital put out a radio call for blood donations because of the large number of wounded.
Hamas called for a general strike in Gaza and the West Bank on Wednesday to protest the heavy number of deaths.
Zahar's son killed while taking part in fighting Mahmoud Zahar, who was serving as Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister when the Hamas-Fatah coalition government collapsed in chaos last year, is seen as one of the more militant leaders of the Hamas political wing.
Hussam Zahar, 24, son of the Hamas leader, was taking part in the fighting when killed, residents said. He was Zahar's second son to die in Israeli-Palestinian violence.
In a 2003 assassination attempt, an Israel Air Force aircraft attacked Zahar's house, wounding him, and killing his elder son Khaled and a bodyguard.
Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai told Army Radio that the younger Zahar, who is survived by a brother and four sisters, wasn't targeted by IDF forces.
As he viewed the body of his son in a Gaza hospital on Tuesday, Mahmoud Zahar accused Bush of prompting further violence on the Palestinians. "This is one of the results of the Bush visit. He encouraged the Israelis to kill our people," said Zahar.
Zahar said his son's death was God's will. "We will respond to them in the appropriate way," he said of the IDF incursion. "We will defend ourselves by all means."
"What is going on in Gaza today is a shame for all of those who cooperated with [U.S. President George] Bush, the criminal, and with the Zionists," Zahar said. "I am talking about all kings, presidents and ministers," he said, in an apparent reference to Arab leaders meeting with Bush.
"We are telling them, today they are killing our sons, tomorrow they are going to kill yours."
Zahar also appeared to blame Abbas, widely known as Abu Mazen, for the IDF incursion and indirectly for his son's death. "This is the hope of Abu Mazen and his colleagues, the collaborators with Israel and the spies of America," Zahar said.
Tanks, bulldozers and copters move in Late on Monday night, an initial IDF unit moved into the Zeitoun area, striking a house used by Palestinian militants to launch projectiles, Hamas security said.
Palestinian gunmen discovered the soldiers, fired at them and an exchange of fire broke out, Hamas said.
IDF tanks, bulldozers and helicopters then entered the area, firing at the militants, Hamas said. Residents of Zeitoun, a Hamas stronghold, said about 10 tanks and armored vehicles had moved into the area by Tuesday morning.
An IDF spokeswoman said the troops were involved in action against "terror infrastructure" in the northern Gaza Strip and that a number of the armed men had been shot.

Colorado football players call it "Mac's drill" when the whistle blows during practice and first-year Buffaloes coach Jon Embree orders the dreaded 9-on-7 drill. It was a favorite of legendary Buffs coach Bill McCartney.
"Max" drill would be equally appropriate.
"It's the toughest drill out there," CU senior quarterback Tyler Hansen said. "It's about beating guys into the ground."
After reviewing game tapes from Colorado's 2010 season, Embree decided the entire team needed to get more physical — much more physical. A Colorado tight end under McCartney in the 1980s, Embree brought back the 9-on-7 drill for spring drills and has already informed Hansen and other team leaders to expect more of the same during August drills, which begin in earnest Thursday.
In the 9-on-7, nine defensive players line up against seven offensive players. There's nothing fancy. It's classic smashmouth football — with both sides bringing it.
"You know we're running the ball, they know we're running the ball," Hansen said. "You've got two safeties in the box, and they're coming to fill those holes. And it's full go, full speed, full contact.
"So what are you going to do when you're in there? Are you going to let him outpower you? You have to man up and get after him."
Former Buffs coach Dan Hawkins, 19-39 in five seasons, was concerned about the potential of injuries in practice and didn't use the 9-on-7. Under Embree, it was employed during spring ball for at least a 15-minute period every day the team was in pads.
No coach wants to see a player get hurt. But the 9-on-7, Embree believes, is a way to toughen up the team and see who he has that can withstand a pounding.
"You have to make them hit in practice," Embree said. "Being physical — it's how you train. It's a mind-set, how you see yourself. If you have a strong enough belief in yourself, then that's what you will be. That's what I have to get this team to believe. Do you believe you're tough? Do you believe you're a guy that's physical?"
Peer pressure comes into play. The 9-on-7, Embree said, "exposes" players. Nobody can slack off or pretend to be tough.
"You have to practice in such a manner that you can't hide," Embree said. "Players have to let their teammates see if they're doing what they're supposed to be doing. That will either make you tough or get you out of there. You'll see who really wants to hit, who really wants to play. If you don't hit and tackle every day, guys can hide."
Embree said he chose to watch film of only four 2010 Buffs games: Hawaii, California, Kansas and Nebraska. All but the 31-13 victory over Hawaii was a horror show. The Buffs weren't competitive against Cal (52-7) or Nebraska (45-17) and blew a 28-point, fourth-quarter lead at Kansas (52-45). Hawkins was fired two days later.
Embree wanted to see which players "quit" against California and who got "tight" when things went south against the Jayhawks. Nebraska, he said, was the rivalry game by which CU players were judged. Hawaii is the 2011 opener.
"We're not going to have guys quit in games this year," Hansen said, "because coach Embo is going to be in your ear about it."
Physical drills such as the 9-on-7 will always be a litmus test for what a player is made of, Embree said.
"The 9-on-7 was pretty bad the first day," the coach recalled of the spring practice. "I told the assistants, 'The players don't know yet (what we expect), so let's not overreact.'
"At the beginning, it was disappointing. There wasn't a lot of intensity and get-after-it. But the last four or five days, it felt like football. So I'm anxious to get going again and see if we can pick up where we left off."

Three things to watch
1. Starting cornerbacks, anyone?
Jimmy Smith and Jalil Brown have taken their talents to the NFL. Nobody behind them stepped up during spring drills to be penciled in as an heir apparent. There are plenty of candidates, but is anybody good enough to hold up against the pass-happy Pac-12?
2. Will senior wideout Toney Clemons approach his potential?
Based on all the hoopla surrounding his transfer from Michigan, Clemons had to be considered a disappointment in his Buffs' debut season with just three TDs and 11.2 yards per catch on 43 receptions last fall.
3. Can sophomore David Bakhtiari fill the shoes of All-American left tackle Nate Solder?
A 6-foot-4, 295-pounder, Bakhtiari showed great promise last year as the starter at right tackle. Now he's sliding to the other side of the line and must protect Tyler Hansen's blind side.
Five who could make a move
1. CB Greg Henderson
The two freshman corners will get a look, and word this spring is Henderson was ahead of Kyle Washington.
2. PK Will Oliver
Colorado hasn't had a dependable field-goal kicker since 2007 when Kevin Eberhart ably succeeded All-American Mason Crosby. They are hoping the freshman Oliver is that kicker.
3. Redshirt-freshman C Daniel Munyer and senior C Shawn Daniels
On the pre-camp depth chart, the center position is listed as a toss-up for the starting job.
4. DE Juda Parker
Defensive end is one of the thinnest areas on the depth chart. Parker, a freshman from Hawaii, showed well against blue-chip blockers in the prestigious Army All-American game.
5. WR Nelson Spruce
CU needs a fearless slot receiver to replace Scotty McKnight. A 6-2, 200-pounder, the freshman comes from an outstanding high school program in Westlake, Calif.
Tom Kensler, The Denver Post
Colorado State
Three things to watch
1. Can Pete Thomas take control?
The quarterback had an up-and-down freshman season but gained valuable experience. Look for Thomas to be a more confident, comfortable leader as a sophomore.
2. Will a total makeover work?
Whether it's scheme changes or just players stepping up and playing better, CSU has myriad issues to fix. The Rams ranked 102nd or lower in the NCAA in rushing offense, scoring offense, rushing defense, pass efficiency defense, scoring defense, turnover margin and sacks allowed. Whew.
3. Time to think positive.
Losing wears on a team and its coaching staff and eventually takes a toll on the psyche of the team. This year, the Rams need to get positive energy back into the program after a disastrous season a year ago. By all accounts, the attitude was much improved during spring ball.
Five who could make a move
1. Wide receiver Lou Greenwood
Last year was a transition season for the running back-turned- wide receiver. This fall, he should be ready to take the next step.
2. Linebacker Mike Orakpo
Nearly a third of his tackles last season came in the final two games (11 of 37 total). He will be counted on as a team leader on defense.
3. Defensive tackle Nuku Latu
As a junior, he backed up both interior defensive line positions. He's looking for a productive final season.
4. RB Raymond Carter
As a junior, Carter battled injuries and was held to 235 yards (a 3.6 average per carry) in eight games. Now healthy and atop the depth chart, the former UCLA transfer could give a much- needed lift in the run game.
5. Cornerback Momo Thomas
Was off to a good start when shoulder surgery ended his 2010 season. Awarded a medical redshirt, Thomas is back to give the secondary and punt return game a needed boost.
Chris Dempsey, The Denver Post
Tuesday — Freshmen report to campus.
Wednesday — Veterans report to workouts.
Thursday — Rams hold their first practice.
Aug. 8 — CSU has first practice in full pads.
Aug. 9 — First two-a-day practice sessions.
Aug. 13 — First formal scrimmage.
Sept. 3 — First game, at New Mexico.
Northern Colorado
Three things to watch
1. Who is the starting QB?
Although fifth-year senior Dylan Orms is a returning starter and passed for 2,055 yards last season, new coach Earnest Collins said the position is wide open. Colorado transfer Seth Lobato and veteran backup Matt Baca are in the mix. Collins won't discount Mullen walk-on Tim Tancik.
2. How will the Bears adapt to a new offensive scheme?
Collins describes the new offense as a spread, but he is determined to have a power running game too. There might be some two-back experimentation.
3. How fast can the linebacker corps rebuild?
All three starting linebackers graduated, including the team's two leading tacklers, John Eddy and Matt King.
Five who could make a move
1. Wide receiver Patrick Walker
Senior moves to the go-to spot among the wideouts.
2. Wide receiver Chris Morris Jr.
Collins making Morris a top priority to help his new attack.
3. Tight end Doug Steele
The junior was the team's fourth-leading receiver last year, and in the spread will be a key safety valve for whomever starts at QB.
4. Cornerback Korey Askew
Top returning tackler from a year ago will be asked to take on a leadership role in the secondary.
5. Running back John Burnley
The junior was the team's leading kick returner two years ago and is back after missing all of last season. Natalie Meisler
Wednesday — Players report to workouts
Thursday — First practice of the fall
Aug. 13 — First major scrimmage
Aug. 22 — First day of classes
Sept. 3 — Opener vs. NAIA Lindenwood University

RT @bccfe: Should Opioid Training for Doctors Be Mandatory? @nytimes weighs in nytimes.com/roomfordebate/… #HarmReduction #addiction 1 hour ago
Arson at Montreal clinic concerns #trans people awaiting surgery cbc.ca/news/canada/mo… 3 hours ago
HIV antiretroviral treatment (ART) can dramatically change how you function, extending your life, possibly into your 70s. But it can also affect you emotionally. There's no cure for HIV, so treatment is lifelong once you start and you need to be prepared for that commitment. If you miss doses or stop taking the pills, they can stop working against HIV. Other treatment options can become limited. Exploring how you think and feel about taking ART can help you move confidently into it.
What do you think about taking antiretrovirals?
Taking HIV treatment is not just a physical thing. It can affect how you feel about living with HIV, your life plans and relationships. If your doctor has recommended you start treatment and you're not so sure, exploring these questions could help:
How do you feel about taking antiretrovirals?
Ideally, you and your doctor can talk openly about your questions and concerns. When it comes to HIV treatment, you are the one who has to take it, not your doctor. Making sure you have all the answers you want before you start and a safe and inspiring place to go for answers once you've started is vital. While ART is the best bet for improving your health overall, there are things you can do to improve your health if you feel you're not ready yet.

You took Stug from Assault Squad, or am i wrong?
Yes. Stug III Ausf. G (late model) is from MOWAS.
Why do i take - for no reason? I just asked. -_-
I see that you are using the StuG III Ausf. G Early made by me (Zeke Wolff) and ngvede. Just remember to give us credit and it is OK.
Regarding the MoW:AS Stug III G being ported to MoW... this is something that the MoW:AS developers has clearly forbidden modders to do and they have said that they will take action against MoW mods which uses MoW:AS resources so I would suggest that you drop that model from the mod (just a friendly advice).
Ok thanks for the advice.. Then I have to drop that model off :(
I did contact You about the using of early StuG so those credits will be given to you guys (and many others who's stuff I'm allowed to use) as soon as I have time to continue modding and updatin it here.
Something to show for..

The Ethel Ward-McLemore Award for Library Excellence
The Ethel Ward-McLemore Award for Library Excellence is presented annually to library staff members in recognition of their outstanding contributions to McDermott Library. The award is funded by the late Ethel Ward-McLemore. Each award winner receives a commemorative gold pin and a check for $1,000. This year's award ceremony will be held Monday, May 16th in the McDermott Suite.
Ethel Ward-McLemore's Biography
Ethel Ward-McLemore's presence in the geophysical community was a personal triumph because she was one of the first female geophysicists and a pioneering spirit throughout her life. She was given an Honorary Membership in the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in recognition of her early work for Humble Oil and Refining and more than 50 years of service to exploration geology. Ward-McLemore began her education in mathematics and chemistry at Mississippi Woman's College where she earned her B.A. in 1928. Her studies continued at the University of North Carolina where she earned an M.A. in 1929. She took additional courses and pursued research at such institutions as the University of Chicago, Colorado School of Mines, Texas Christian University, and Southern Methodist University. In 1932 she entered the field of geophysics as assistant to Donald Barton, co-founder and first president of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists. In 1933, with Barton, she joined Humble's Geological Department, headed by Wallace Pratt. In 1935, Ethel Ward married Robert McLemore, a petroleum engineer. Two years later, Ethel left Humble when her husband was transferred to Beeville, Texas, as district engineer for Sun Oil. She continued her research with Barton independently.
A prolific author, Ward-McLemore published several books, many of which are in the McDermott Library collection. During her lifetime she worked and did research in the Geological Information Library of Dallas, which was once located at the University of Texas at Dallas. When Ward-McLemore visited McDermott Library after her retirement, she experienced the professionalism, knowledge, and concern of the staff. An office was set aside for her where she continued her research. She was a generous lady and expressed her appreciation by establishing the Ethel Ward-McLemore Award of Excellence. Two deserving library employees have received the award, every year, since 1989.

James Marohl A floor is not a weapon. And Mixed Martial Arts fighter James Michael Marohl is not a criminal for slamming a drunk amputee
James Marohl A floor is not a weapon. And Mixed Martial Arts fighter James Michael Marohl is not a criminal for slamming a drunk amputee into it. That's the opinion issued by the Washington Supreme Court today as they threw out the felony conviction of Marohl for a 2007 scuffle between him and that guy at the bar who nearly knocked out his friend's wife with a chair.
The incident in question has some fuzzy details, but apparently went down like so: drunk amputee gets cut off at the bar at the Little Creek Casino in Shelton and stumbles out. On the way, he knocks over a chair that nearly hits Marohl's friend's wife. Marohl gets up and grabs the drunk amputee and escorts him to the door. On the way--and depending on whose account one believes--Marohl either chokes out and slams the dude into the ground or the dude trips and falls.
At any rate, drunk guy ends up with scrapes and bruises and a broken prosthetic arm.
Like we mentioned, Marohl is an MMA fighter. He's from Kelso Washington and according to mmawiz.com has an even record of 11-11.
When Marohl was originally convicted, prosecutors argued that he used the casino floor as a weapon.
But the judges on the state's high court weren't buying it. Justice Richard Sanders wrote the opinion, which was backed unanimously.
Per the P-I:
"The impact with the casino floor caused (the victim) to suffer bruises and scrapes on his face, and his prosthetic arm broke off above the elbow joint," Sanders said in the opinion. "Marohl got to his feet and walked away but then returned to try to help (the victim) off the ground... The issue in this case is whether a floor is an instrument or thing likely to produce harm when the defendant causes the victim to impact the ground. The plain meaning of the statute is unambiguous -- under these circumstances, the casino floor was not similar to a weapon, nor was it likely to produce bodily harm.'""
So there you go guys. You can safely fuck up the drunk asshole at the bar or casino, provided you're charged in some obscure way by prosecutors.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Ignoring international appeals for a cease-fire, Israel widened its range of Gaza bombing targets to civilian institutions with suspected Hamas ties and deployed ground troops inside Gaza for the first time early today to raid a rocket launching site in the Palestinian territory. More than 156 Palestinians have been killed in five days of bombardment.
Four Israeli soldiers were injured in clashes during the brief incursion to destroy a rocket-launching site in northern Gaza, the military said. It said they have returned to Israeli territory.
It was the first time that Israeli ground troops are known to have entered Gaza in the current offensive. But the operation was carried out by special forces and did not appear to be the beginning of a broad ground offensive.
On Saturday, Israel announced it would hit northern Gaza "with great force" to prevent rocket attacks on Israel.
One of the Israeli strikes hit a center for the disabled where Palestinians said two patients were killed and four people seriously hurt. In a second attack, on Saturday evening, an Israeli warplane flattened the home of Gaza's police chief and damaged a nearby mosque as evening prayers ended, killing at least 18 people, officials said.
In New York, the U.N. Security Council called unanimously for a cease-fire, while Britain's foreign minister said he will discuss cease-fire efforts with his American, French and German counterparts today.
So far, neither Israel nor Gaza's Hamas rulers have signaled willingness to stop.
Israel has carried out more than 1,200 airstrikes this week to try to diminish Hamas' ability to fire rockets at Israel, and the chief military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Motti Almoz, said Saturday there would be more strikes, especially in northern Gaza near the Israeli border.
"We are going to attack there with great force in the next 24 hours due to a very large concentration of Hamas efforts in that area," he said. Late Saturday, the military said it was ordering Palestinians in northern Gaza to evacuate "for their own safety."
Gaza's Interior Ministry urged residents in the area to ignore Israel's warnings and to stay in their homes, saying the announcement was Israeli "psychological warfare" and an attempt to create confusion.
Shortly after the Israeli announcement, an Israeli warplane struck the home of the Gaza police chief, Taysir al-Batsh, killing at least 18 people and wounding 50, said Health Ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra. He said worshippers were leaving the mosque after evening prayers at the time of the strike and that some people are believed to be trapped under the rubble.
In a sign that the conflict might widen, Israel fired into Lebanon late Saturday in response to two rockets fired from there at northern Israel. There were no injuries or damage, but Israel fears militant groups in Lebanon may try to open a second front.

A group of researchers have published a simple word analysis of 300 million tweets (you know, those short, 140 character-maximum status updates from individuals) from Twitter and discovered something amazing — people are happier on the weekends, and before and after work. Yes, that's right — people are happier when they are not working!
It took three researchers from Northeastern University and two from Harvard Medical School to arrive at these stunning conclusions.
Now, since researchers didn't actually look at 300 million tweets individually, the mood of each tweet was inferred using the ANEW word list — Affective Norms for English Words — a word-rating system that gives normative emotional ratings for English language words. These kinds of analyses are indirect and rough measurements — they can only note very large trends because they are not necessarily reliable.
