Santorum wins Alabama & Mississippi. Now it is up to Newt Gingrich supporters.
While there seem to be a large number of people active on Facebook and other social media swearing they won't vote for one or another of the candidates if their own choice is not the winner of the GOP presidential primaries, Rick Santorum's new string of victories will surely make him the top target of the naysayers in the next week.

March 19, 2007 - Press Release: Basic Bacteriology Research: a Pressing Need
WASHINGTON, DC—March 19, 2007—The need for basic research in bacterial physiology and genetics continues to be demonstrated, even more so today because of the growing appreciation of the significant role bacteria play in human health and the environment, infectious and chronic diseases, nutrition, alternative energy production and basic understanding of biology and genetics. Important new opportunities for research on bacteria are outlined in the report, "Basic Research on Bacteria: The Essential Frontier" issued by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), Public and Scientific Affairs Board. This report presents the results of a workshop on basic bacterial research convened by the ASM and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to address several issues, including the research community's perception that the number of researchers being trained in basic bacterial physiology and genetics is inadequate to current and projected needs.
The past President of ASM, Stanley Maloy, Ph.D., who spearheaded the organization of the workshop, expressed optimism about its outcome. "Scientific knowledge of microbes and basic life processes of bacteria are key to new discoveries that will benefit human life and the environment. Scientific opportunities in important areas of bacterial physiology and genetic research should receive increased attention and funding."
The more than 60 participants in the workshop, held November 3-4, 2005, consisted of representatives from industry, academia, and the federal government. The participants discussed the importance of these research areas for biotechnology, pathogenesis and biodefense applications, and the increasing understanding of the role of bacteria in many chronic diseases.
The report points out that, because bacteria are ubiquitous and have such diverse metabolic capabilities, knowledge of their capabilities influences essentially all disciplines of science and is instrumental for understanding fundamental life processes of all organisms. Bacteria provide readily used experimental systems to understand the complex metabolic and regulatory networks that control these processes. Many of the success stories arising from new technologies such as genomics and proteomics have resulted from new research directions in microbial physiology and genetics, justifying increased investment in the study of these organisms.
However, many in the research community perceive that funding for basic research, including bacteriology, has leveled off. The report also acknowledges concerns that the emergence of large, multi-investigator initiatives as an alternative to individual investigator initiated research (R01 grants) might be causing an imbalance at the expense of research by smaller groups.
The report outlines an education based strategy for building broad based support for basic research in microbiology, with an intensive focus on informing the public of its value. "Public understanding of bacterial research and its importance to progress in the life sciences is essential," said Maloy. If you would like a copy of the report please e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

As with most everything in life, there are always two sides to every story, two dissenting views on a situation. What might be repulsive to some (peeing on the side of the road) may resonate with others (peeing on the side of the road!).
This year's group proves innovation has not been held back in the face of adversity. From the clever use of a CFC light bulb, to a baby with telekinetic powers, to a trailing dark cloud, messages were relayed loud and clear to consumers.Of course, nothing about the creative process is simple; it takes time, trials, and effort to bring an effective idea to light. But being simple yet effective is key, according to Al Topin of Topin Associates (see "The Brand Promotion Gauntlet").
According to Topin, simple delivers clarity, leads to relevance, and enables big ideas that are memorable—and, hey, what's the point of an advertisement if it's not memorable, right?
For Carter, what's complicated isn't a deterrent at all. "The industry has always been regulated. The invasiveness of the regulations waxes and wanes, but it is a constant. For me, finding things that work brilliantly in the face of regulation is part of the fun, part of the challenge."
Ad Stars 2011 is the story of the people behind the best of pharma advertising over the past year. It gives credit where credit is due to those who developed, wrote, shot, and designed the spots you've seen all over television, in print, and online. These are the people who help bring the compelling messages to the forefront. It's their job to find out what it feels like to be the BPH sufferer, the depressed soccer mom, or the spasmodic child. And they've done a masterful job. The following pages are Pharm Exec's way of applauding them.

Prepare using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese.
To serve as stuffed jalapeño halves instead of the stuffed whole peppers, cut peppers lengthwise in half; scrape out seeds and veins. Fill peppers with cheese mixture, then coat and refrigerate as directed. Cook, in batches, in hot oil as directed, reducing the cook time to 1 to 2 min. or until golden brown.

I actually have not tried this recipe, but I have my own recipe which is similar. However, I mix grated cheese and cream cheese (no bacon) and dip in beaten egg then roll in panko. If I extra peppers in my garden, I prepare them as if to cook and place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze, then place them in freezer bags. I also do banana peppers this way and they are awesome. I plan to try this recipe.
Awesome! I grow my peppers so this was a breeze for me. I am also freezing some to see how yummmmy they will be.
The filling was great..Did not try the crackers as coating but tried fish fry, bread crumbs, and double dipped in both but when put in the skillet the coating came right off =/. I instead cut the peppers as small little bite sized poppers. Not too hopeful about making again anytime soon but maybe sometime in the future. Again very good, just have to get the coating to stick.

Winner in multivitamin and minerals category, 2004 Vity Awards, Vitamin Retailer May 2004. Top ranked in Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements, 2003. Iron-free version of advanced Life Force Multiple, for those concerned with their consumption of iron. The formula is otherwise identical to regular Life Force.
We can help you decide how to pick the most advanced daily multiple for your wellness. Listen to the experts. Source Naturals Life Force Multiple was honored as a leading formula in an independent scientific analysis of 500 multiples, ranking higher than any other national brand. Lyle MacWilliam, author of the Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements ranked multiples based on criteria developed from the published recommendations of the most renowned nutritional authorities: Phyllis Balch, C.N.C.; Michael Colgan, Ph.D.; Earl Mindell, Ph.D.; Michael Murray, N.D.; Richard Passwater, Ph.D.; Ray Strand, M.D.; and Julian Whitaker, M.D.
Source Naturals success in this rigorous scientific analysis reflects our Bio-Aligned formulation method. Life Force goes deep to the underlying cause of health imbalances by supporting multiple body systems. And now, based on the latest scientific research, we have improved the formula by adding even more antioxidants and other cutting-edge ingredients. According to Lyle MacWilliam, Source Naturals made a top ranked multiple even better! And based on Lyles analysis of the new formula, Life Force is now the highest rated multiple of any evaluated in the current edition of this guide, scoring a 100% rating.
Life Force Multiple was chosen as one of Americas most elite and comprehensive multiples, as reported in the Comparative Guide to Dietary Supplements by Lyle MacWilliam, 3rd ed. Life Force received this acknowledgement by nutrition experts because it is uniquely effective. This Bio-Aligned Formula goes beyond ordinary multiples that simply replace nutrients missing from the diet. Life Force provides key organ-specific nutrients to support your bodys energy generation, heart, brain, immune system, musculoskeletal system, skin, liver, eyes, and more. When all your body systems function in harmony, everything in life comes together. Your mood is positive, your mind is clear, youve got energy in your stepthats your Life Force working for you.
Your metabolism determines how much you weigh, how energetic you feel, and the effective functioning of all your systems. Life Force is a rarity a unique multiple containing an incredible number of nutrients at the potency levels that truly support your healthy metabolic function. For example, it contains coenzyme Q10, which plays a crucial role in cellular energy production. CoQ10 is a vital intermediate in the electron transport chain, one of the bodys energy production cycles, which converts glucose, or blood sugar, into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), a high energy molecule that is the bodys energy currency. Life Force also supplies alpha-lipoic acid and the potent R-lipoic acid form of lipoic acid, which are both referred to as the universal antioxidants and important intermediaries in the Krebs cycle, another energy production cycle.
Life Force also contains tyrosine and iodine, both precursors to thyroid hormones. These hormones regulate key metabolic functions like heart rate, digestive function, weight management and energy levels.
No discussion of metabolism would be complete without mentioning the B vitamins and their coenzymated forms, such as thiamin cocarboxylase, riboflavin mononucleotide, and the methylcobalamin form of vitamin B-12. These critical vitamins and their immediately bioavailable coenzymated forms are formulated to play critical roles in thousands of enzyme reactions that promote carbohydrate metabolism, energy production, and the mental functions that invigorate and activate you as you move through your busy days. And now green tea extract with EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) has been added to the formula for added metabolic support.
The amazing muscular organ that is your heart beats more than 100,000 times a day, 365 days a year, promoting vitality and alertness by constantly oxygenating our tissues. Life Force supports your cardiovascular system with antioxidant coenzyme Q10, which helps support heart muscle metabolism. Life Force also contains the minerals potassium and magnesium, electrolytes vital for healthy heartbeat and heart function, and the herb hawthorn, a rich source of antioxidant flavonoids, which has traditionally been used as a heart tonic. Life Force also supplies vitamins B-6, B-12 and folic acid to help maintain healthy homocysteine levels and vitamin K to support healthy circulation. Unlike common multiples, it supports cholesterol wellness, circulatory health and antioxidant cardiovascular protection, with both the typical d-alpha form of vitamin E but and the more potent and effective gamma-tocopherol and similarly structured tocotrienols.
Life Force furnishes nutrients to build healthy bones, muscles and skin. We all know that calcium and magnesium are crucial for bone health, but many people don't know that there are a variety of nutritional cofactors that help build bone, such as vitamin D (which enhances calcium absorption and utilization), boron, manganese and copper. Life Force also supplies vitamin C and copper, necessary nutrients for collagen production (collagen is a key constituent of connective tissue in joints, skin and other areas), and the cutting-edge nutrient methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), an assimilable form of the mineral sulfur, used by the body to build and maintain connective tissues, including joint cartilage, hair, skin and nails. Additional nutraceuticals to support healthy skin include DMAE bitartrate, CoQ10, and alpha lipoic acid. Life Force also now includes rutin, quercetin, green tea extract and 65% more turmeric extract for your joint comfort.
The hectic pace and constant demands of life can keep our pulse racing, our nerves jangling and our temples throbbing. Our nervous systems are crying out, Help! Life Force provides that help.
Life Force supplies the most highly bioavailable and bioactive forms of the amino acid tyrosine the N-acetyl form and the acetyl-L form. Tyrosine is an important precursor to epinephrine and norepinephrine (collectively known as the catecholamines), which helps you respond to stress. It also contains high doses of vitamins C and B-6, required by the adrenal glands to produce the catecholamines. In addition, Life Force delivers the full spectrum of B vitamins, all important for healthy nervous system function. Now Life Force also contains a more bio-available form of tyrosine, acetyl-L-Tyrosine.
And Life Force contains Neuroceutical® nutrients that support healthy brain function by furnishing DMAE and choline. Both are precursors to the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine and are important for memory and now even more grape seed extract, both effective antioxidants that can prevent lipid peroxidation, which is critically important for the high amounts of fatty tissue in the brain. Life Forcegood food for the brain.
Life Force Multiple supports your immune system, so you can feel your best through the seasons. Life Force contains the immunosupportive nutrient vitamin A, which fosters cell-mediated immunity and protects the epithelial linings of the respiratory and digestive tracts. Two forms of vitamin A are supplied: preformed vitamin A and its precursor, the potent antioxidant betacarotene. Other immuno-supportive nutrients in Life Force include vitamin B-6, vitamin C and zinc, which is fundamental for proper functioning of our T-cells, the seek and destroy cells of our immune system. Life Force also now includes 40% more lipoic acid, including the highly bioavailable alpha and R-isomer forms. Lipoic acid along with the B vitamins and CoQ10 promote building the energy reserves needed when the immune system needs to kick into high gear.
Your liver is responsible for converting many nutrients into their metabolically active forms before your body can use them. After activation, these nutrients travel through the blood stream to target organs where they perform their metabolic functions. Not only does the liver activate nutrients, but it also plays a crucial role in a variety of other metabolic functions, from fat digestion and cholesterol production to blood sugar regulation to the processing and elimination of toxins, an important role in todays increasingly polluted world. For all these reasons, nourishing the liver is crucial. And Life Force does just that.
Life Force contains alpha-lipoic acid, turmeric, silymarin and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) all potent antioxidants that support healthy liver function. NAC and alpha-lipoic acid both help produce glutathione, one of the liver's primary detoxifying molecules. Silymarin, the active flavonoid complex of the herb milk thistle, as well as coenzyme Q10, have been shown in vitro to inhibit lipid peroxidation of cell membranes. Turmeric extract promotes bile flow and is a rich source of the antioxidant, curcumin. Life Force also contains choline and inositol, vitamin- like molecules which act as lipotropics, unique substances that prevent the deposition of fat in the liver. Since the liver is naturally high in fats, Life Force is one of the only multiples that contains the fat-soluble form of vitamin C, ascorbyl palmitate, for antioxidant protection.
Oxidative stress is the primary cause of accelerated aging. This and other forms of free radical damage are constantly threatening your body. Whether it is from pollution, ultraviolet light, food additives, or from other sources, it is more critical than ever to protect your body with antioxidants. Life Force contains 24 of the most powerful antioxidants known to science, including eight new antioxidants based on the latest research. It contains antioxidants that are water soluble, such as quercetin and rutin, and ones that are fat soluble, such as alpha-lipoic acid and lycopene. There are antioxidants that are especially protective of specific body systems, such as lutein to protect the macula in your eye, lycopene to protect your prostate gland, and tocotrienols to protect your arteries.
The structure and functions of your eyes are very complex. Life Force contains nutrients to help support and maintain healthy eye tissue, which is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress from free radicals. To support your healthy macula, aqueous tissue and optical nerve signals, Life Force includes ingredients such as lutein, astaxanthin, beta carotene, bilberry, zinc, lipoic acid and quercetin.
Life Force contains optimal levels of many nutrients that might be deficient in low carb meals. Counting carbs can lead to restrictions of nutrient-dense foods, such as dairy products, grains, fruits and vegetables. Life Force contains many of the same protective antioxidants, vitamins and minerals as fruits and vegetables, including betacarotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, flavinols, magnesium and selenium. It also contains high levels of the same vitamins found in grains, including all of the B vitamins, to support your bodys healthy energy metabolism. And it contains nutrients found in dairy products, such as calcium, potassium, vitamin A and vitamin D.
Low carb lifestyles mean higher consumption of proteins and fats. Unfortunately, there are artery, heart, colon and many other health concerns associated with meals that are high in fat and protein and low in fiber and produce. However, the nutrients in Life Force can help you better process these foods when eating this way. Life Force contains high levels of protective fat-soluble antioxidants such as alpha lipoic acid, ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C ester) and vitamin E to protect your body from the free radicals generated by consuming more fats. It also contains many nutrients for liver health, such as silymarin, CoQ10, NAcetyl Cysteine and turmeric to help support the fat metabolism your liver is responsible for. Life Force also contains a high level of the B vitamin biotin, which aids in fat, protein and energy metabolism.
Life Force is the only multiple to target organ systems with specific nutrients and bio-botanicals, antioxidants and Neuroceuticals® for total body harmony and energy activation, system by system. Only this dedication to going deep to the cellular root of system imbalances can produce a multiple so effective that it is acknowledged in a prestigious scientific review, the Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements.
A nutritional program with Life Force at its center can be an easy first step in joining the Wellness Revolution. The goal of this revolution is a long, healthy and fulfilling life. Allow yourself to feel your best, to achieve mental and physical harmony, to radiate energy and vitality. Feel your Life Force!

After four years as Facebook's COO--and shepherding the company through its much anticipated and critiqued $100 billion IPO in May--Sandberg was named to the social network's board of directors in June. She is Facebook's first female board member and owns nearly $1 billion of unvested stock in the company. The Harvard MBA served as chief of staff for the U.S. Treasury Department under President Bill Clinton, and managed Google's online global sales and operations as a vice president. One of few prominent women in tech, Sandberg has become the torch-bearer for a generation of women hoping to balance high-profile jobs with motherhood, an increasingly fraught issue in 2012. "I don't believe in 'having it all,'" she says. "But I do believe in women and men having both a successful career and family. The more women we get into positions of power, the more likely we'll get that."

|Class of 2010 ACT scores beat state avg.
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Results of the Colorado American College Test (ACT) taken by HHS juniors last spring show the Class of 2010 composite score at 20.4, compared to the state average of 19.6.
The ACT is administered to all 11th grade students. There are four sub-tests, including English, math, reading and science reasoning. In addition, a composite score is based on the results of the four sub-tests.
Holyoke students scored better than the state average in all contest areas.
HHS students scored 19.7 in English over the state's average of 18.6; HHS 20.5 in math, over the state's average 19.5; HHS 20.8 in reading, compared to state average of 20.1; and HHS 19.9 in science, slightly over the state's average of 19.8.
As juniors, the HHS Class of 2007 averaged 20.3 on the ACT test, compared to the state average of 19.0. The Class of 2008 was right at the state average of 19.1.
A year ago, the HHS Class of 2009 averaged 19.1, below the state average of 19.4. This year, the Class of 2010 state average rose to 19.6, and Holyoke students turned in a composite score average of 20.4.
Holyoke had 30 testing students in the Class of 2010 and 36 in the Class of 2009.

MMA fighter Tito Ortiz denied laying a hand on his live-in girlfriend and mother to his twin sons Jenna Jameson Monday night during a press conference in Southern California according to published reports.
Tito Ortiz claims Jenna Jameson, a former porn star, has been fighting an addiction to Oxycontin and her relapse is the cause of the 911 call Monday morning. Tito Ortiz was arrested Monday outside his Huntington Beach home for suspicion of domestic violence against Jenna Jameson.
He along with his attorney Chip Matthews said Jenna Jameson had been battling addiction to the drug for well over a year.
"We're here because Tito was trying to help her," Matthews said. "Tito Ortiz never laid a hand on Jenna."
An upset Tito Ortiz also added, "My parents have gone through an addiction, and I'm seeing a mirror of that. I hold everything dear to my heart that Jenna will be OK."
Jenna Jameson told TMZ the allegations of drug abuse are "completely false."

Davida Classic helmets are not DOT approved due to traditional design and materials. All helmets are supplied with black leather and Davida helmet bag.
Davida Classic helmets do not conform to any current helmet safety standards and are not DOT approved.
Davida Classic Sizing Measure your head with a cloth measuring tape held snugly around the widest portion of your head, above the ears and around the forehead. If your size falls between ranges, order the next larger size. Small 54-58 cm 21 1/4" - 22-7/8" Medium 58-61 cm 22-7/8" - 24-1/8" Large 61-64 cm 24-1/8" - 25-1/8"
Helmet Sizing Chart
Take a head measurement with a cloth tape measure. Wrap tape measure around your head one inch above your eyebrows, directly above your ears and to the widest area at the back of your head. Make sure the tape measure is tight and it is best to make the measurement in front of a mirror.
Great helmet Review by Joe T.
Price Quality Value
LOve the classic look and light weight. I have a sore neck so the light weight is perfect. Wear with goggles and face mask in northeast winters, so no problem with cold temps. Seems to run large in size. Sent medium back for small and still added "fitting strips" supplied to get perfect fit. I've ridden in states requiring helmets and have had no problems.

This description makes it sound like the product is for a car... the picture shows it's for a wall outlet. Which is correct?
This one is all wall outlet, no car. You obviously know what that's supposed to look like. For about the same price or less, you can go into just about any convenience, big box or hardware store and get a USB charger that will plug into both the car and the wall. They're usually sold for charging phones. Or, for another $10-20, you can go to an auto parts or electronics store and get a bigger AC/DC "inverter" that will allow you to use the cigarette lighter/accessory plug to charge and power USB and almost any 2-3 prong device. We use them for laptops, phones, headlamps, cameras...a blender...you name it and you can get juice to it.
This is a picture of the first charger I'm talking about. The kit we got will charge just about any kind of USB device we've ever tried, including almost any kind of phone, Kindles, i-pods, cameras...It's made by Cellular Innovations and cost about $20 at Walmart. Hope it helps.
Cellular Innovations is a subsidiary of Mizco. Here's the latest universal 2-in-1 charger. About $30, but it will charge 2 USB devices simultaneously. Pretty slick!

Can someone provide me the steps?

European Court of Justice: Google should delete personal data
Newscast Media MADRID, Spain—The European Court of Justice has ruled that
citizens have a right to request that Google delete their data from search results in a
case that sought to see whether private citizens could leave the engine's grid.
In the case, which began in 2011, Spain's data protection authority had ordered
Google to remove links to more than 100 online articles the agency considered
potentially defamatory in a move that had stoked concerns about freedom of speech
and the role of online search engines. On Tuesday, the ECJ affirmed the Spanish
court's decision.
Google had previously challenged the decision in a Madrid court, contending that as a
search engine it was not responsible for content that appeared on the Web. The
Spanish tribunal then sought the advice of the ECJ. Decisions by the court are
binding for the whole of the European Union.
In 2012, the European Commission had proposed that citizens be given the right to
remove themselves from search engines.
Google is also involved in a dispute with the European Union over alleged
anti-competitive practices in its search results.

Testimony :: Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin
Co-Chairman - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
As we commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the 40th Anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King Jr. this year it is only right that we take a closer look at the state of race relations in this country, as well as determine where other countries are in their commitment to uphold and respect fundamental freedoms and rights without distinction.
The nooses of Jena, Louisiana and, indeed, in my own State of Maryland, tell us that despite the sacrifices of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and untold others, we still have much work to do on in this country. It is for this reason that I introduced legislation in the Senate calling for the full investigation and criminal prosecution of the hanging of nooses and will continue efforts to fight racism and its effects in our society.
However, we must also note that the bigotry we have seen in the United States is not a unique phenomenon limited to the confines of our own borders. The OSCE, Russia's SOVA Center, Union of Councils for Soviet Jews, and Human Rights First have all recorded increases in racist murders and other hate crimes in Russia and Ukraine. For the past few years, the European Union Federal Rights Agency has recorded more than 80,000 racist incidents and over 17,000 crimes linked to hate groups annually in the European Union.
Hate crimes. Racial profiling. Rampant discrimination in employment, education, housing, and other sectors are disproportionately impacting African descendants and other minorities. The French riots alerted us to the gross disparities between those living in France's suburbs, similar to the urban ghettos of the US, and the rest of France's population. Chants of monkey noises amidst a hail of bananas raining down on soccer fields brought to the world's attention the racism targeting Black soccer players in Europe.
When paired with the racist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant remarks of some of Europe's politicians, it is not difficult to understand how some Europeans might believe such behavior is not only sanctioned, but a part of their civic duty to push out those that don't fit their image of Europe. Our own immigration debates, recent efforts to erode the gains of the Civil Rights struggle, and attempts to relegate racism as a thing of this countries' past despite persistent disparities, demonstrate a need for comprehensive strategies and partnerships to combat hate and its ramifications.
Don't get me wrong, President Putin's admission that racism is a problem in Russia, the Ukrainian creation of a special security unit to combat xenophobia, and President Sarkozy's new government plan for France's poor communities, are all steps in the right direction, but not enough. The hard truth is we all need to be doing more, including holding one another accountable. By learning from one another and developing sustainable partnerships, we can.
We, as Americans, must share what we have learned to become a multi-racial society so that others need not repeat our mistakes. We also must support increased interactions between European minorities and US based civil rights organizations, assistance for European governments in their efforts to combat discrimination, and parliamentary initiatives to combat hateful party politics. To paraphrase the slogan to address racism in soccer, we must kick racism and its ramifications out of our societies.
I look forward to hearing our witnesses' thoughts on what more we can all be doing to promote diversity and understanding while combating hate in all of our societies.
Thank you.

Great coach, glad he is not in the Big 12. Hopefully Oklahoma State takes a swing and a miss on their next coach and we can count on them in the #9 slot in the conference for the near future.
I think Gundy knew 2011 was as far as he'll ever take Okie State.
Gundy is a cocky *****. He is a great fit in the SEC.
Wow, can't believe he left Okie State.
I like Gundy, not sure he is a good SEC fit though. Sounds like Petrino 2.0, good offense, no defense.
Nice! Now let's see Briles go to Auburn and Patterson go to Tennessee.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

Which is probably farther than anyone can reasonably expect to take Ark.
I was about to say "in before someone talks about how they hope OKState will regress and we can leapfrog them in the Big 12", but it looks like I'm too late.
I don't get this mentality...I don't want ISU to become a better program because our competition takes a step back; I want ISU to become a better program by improving at a faster rate than others in the Big 12. A rising tide floats all boats.

Courses that you wish to have applied towards your Major/Minor must be approved by your faculty advisor. General Education requirements must be approved by an Academic Counselor in Student Academic Services. Each department has its own procedure for course approval, so this process can be time-consuming. It is best to begin the course approval process as soon as you determine the study abroad program of interest.
Make sure you know your program's policy regarding mailing your transcript to the SPU registrar. If it is not automatic, leave a written request for a transcript to be sent to the SPU registrar, and pay any applicable fees. Failure to do this could cause complications in your degree progress.
- You will have a code entered into the Banner Information System for the quarter(s) during which you are away from campus.
- Your advance-registration appointment for the quarter in which you will return will be sent to you via email.
- Because of this, it is vital that you check your SPU email account while you are away.
- All communication from Student Academic Services which is crucial in the pursuit of your degree will be sent to you via email.
- You can communicate with your counselor and with your faculty advisor over email, and you can register for your classes online via the Banner Information System.
Remember, you can always check the updated course information on the SPU website. It is your responsibility to register for your classes, but if internet access is unavailable in your study abroad area, consult with Student Academic Services for an alternative to web registration.
Academic Expectations Abroad
The American system of semesters and quarters does not exist in many other countries. Academic courses at foreign universities are oftentimes year-long, with final comprehensive exams at the end of the year. Academic calendars often do not coincide with American academic terms. Some terms are shorter than American semesters, resulting in fewer credits transferring back to the home campus.
Most foreign university students have chosen a major area of concentration before they leave high school, and so they take courses directly related to their major from the day they start college. Therefore, you should be prepared to take courses that are open to all students, even freshmen! Additionally:
- Professors often do not assign homework, nor will they cover all the materials listed in the course. You are expected to research these topics on your own.
- Syllabi may not be distributed in every class, or even at all.
- Independent study is emphasized over weekly quizzes and exams.
- Professors may not be as accessible to answer questions as SPU faculty are.
- Remember, professors are the same the world over; some are good, some are boring, some are gruff, some are inspiring. It is up to you to make the most of your academic experience, so take the time and initiative to learn as much about your host culture and country as possible.
- Library hours are often not as extensive as those at SPU. Students may have to request books in advance and wait for the library staff to fill these requests, so plan ahead when you have a research paper to write.
- Email access may not be available or free! Check accessibility and cost (including cyber cafes) before you leave.
Finally, don't be fooled by the apparent lack of studying by some students in foreign universities! They often do not like to publicize their study habits, and many American students have stumbled academically by believing they didn't need to study consistently throughout the term.

Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 12:32 a.m.
Former West Port High standout Markee Teal is the leading rebounder for the Florida A&M basketball team. The 6-foot-7 power forward is averaging 5.3 boards a game for the 4-6 Rattlers, and ranks fourth on the team with 7.7 points per outing. Teal, a senior, has started all 10 games for Florida A&M and currently leads the regulars in field goal percentage, shooting nearly 59 percent from the floor. He also ranks second on the team with eight blocks, to go along with seven assists and six steals. Florida A&M plays at Clemson on Saturday. HUNTER WILLIAMS: Forest High School graduate scored 13 points in Troy University's 86-82 double-overtime loss to Utah Valley on Saturday. The junior guard entered the month of December as the Trojans' leading scorer with 10.8 points per game. He followed that up with 16 points in a loss to the University of Alabama-Birmingham, then scored 11 points and passed out a season-high seven assists in a four-point loss to the University of Arkansas-Little Rock in the Sun Belt Conference opener. The 4-6 Trojans, who have dropped four in a row, face Alabama State on Thursday. MARQUIS SCOTT: West Port graduate ranks second in scoring and rebounding for the Averett (Va.) University basketball team. The senior is nearly averaging a double-double with 13.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per outing. The 6-5 guard is also the runaway leader in steals (16) and free-throw shooting at 88 percent. He has dished out 14 assists, which ranks second only to point guard Trevor West's team-high 17. Averett, which plays in the USA South Conference, is off to a 2-4 start. CHUCKIE LOONEY: North Marion grad threw for 2,315 yards and a school-record 18 touchdowns for Marist (N.Y.) College this season. The junior, who was named a team captain by head coach Jim Parady, is now tied for the most career touchdown passes with 29. His 60.5 completion percentage this season ranks second in school history behind Steve McGrath's 63.2 percent back in 2006. With another year of eligibility remaining, Looney will have an opportunity to rewrite the Marist record books in 2013. HOLLY POLE: Former Vanguard standout and Star-Banner player of the year recorded 212 digs for the University of Florida volleyball team this season. The sophomore ranked fourth on the team in that department, adding 26 service aces, 14 assists and a kill for the Gators, who were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by No. 3 seed Texas last week. UF finishes with a 27-4 overall record, including a 19-1 mark in the SEC. Sister MaryEllen Pole, a freshman at Rollins College, recorded 187 assists and 46 digs for the Tars volleyball team. The Vanguard product added 10 service aces and six kills during her first year on campus. KIMBERLEE THOMAS: Meadowbrook Academy graduate polished off her collegiate volleyball career in style, leading Warner University in kills per game (2.88) and ranking second on the team with 298 digs. The senior outside hitter added 35 assists, 12 aces and a dozen blocks for the Royals, who finished the season with a 13-12 record. PIPER UNDERBRINK: Trinity Catholic product finished her sophomore season as Middlebury (Vt.) College's team leader in blocks with 84 on the year. The middle hitter also has tallied 173 kills and 23 digs for the 23-7 Panthers, who compete in the New England Small College Athletic Conference. ANNE-MARIE BLANEY: Belleview graduate finished the 2012 season as the fastest freshman runner in UCF cross country history. She broke the school mark for a second time in last month's South Region Championships at Florida State where she posted a team-best time of 21:22.0. Vanguard product Shelby Blaes wasn't too far behind as the sophomore posted a personal-best time of 22:45.9 in the final cross country event of the season. -----

Transient Gaussian Explosion
Application ID: 1374
An ellipse with sound-hard walls has the interesting property that an acoustic signal emanating from one of the foci refocuses at the other focal point b/c seconds later, where b (in meters) is the major axis length and c (m/s) is the speed of sound.
This model involves a Gaussian explosion at one focus of an ellipse to illustrate some properties of time-dependent acoustic problems.
The model also introduces and demonstrates some important concepts to keep in mind when solving transient problems. In particular, the relationship between the frequency content in the forcing, the mesh resolution and the time step length is examined.

|Sprague faces new challenges with optimism
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Two months removed from the farm accident that claimed the lower portion of his leg, Luke Sprague is ahead of schedule with his rehab and just days away from walking on his new prosthetic leg without the aid of crutches.
Doctors initially expected Luke to be bed-ridden with his leg in the air for six weeks following the injury. Less than four weeks later he attended a wrestling camp. While he obviously could not do all of the things he would have liked at the camp, being able to warm up and work out was a sign of progress for the young Sprague.
With less than two weeks of practice on his new prosthetic leg, Luke is quickly adapting to his new lower extremity, accompanied by his signature smile and positive attitude he has maintained throughout the ordeal.
Luke Sprague puts some pressure
With the injury still being fairly fresh, Luke said the hardest part about getting used to the prosthetic is putting pressure on his leg. His mom Emma said she was surprised with how frustrating the whole process of relearning how to walk is.
"It's crazy how much he had to relearn to walk," Emma said.
Currently aided by crutches as he familiarizes himself with the leg, Luke is still trying to shed his recently crafted hopping style of movement. Understandably, Luke is a bit hesitant to part ways with the crutches. By Tuesday, Sept. 24, Emma is hoping he will no longer need the crutches.
Although the accident took his lower leg, he never lost his sense of humor. Emma said Luke's dad Alan jokingly wonders if Luke hit his head in the accident as well because he has been so happy and goofy since the incident.
Not letting the injury slow him down too much, Luke has surprised many on his road to recovery. Luke even participated in the mutton bustin' event Saturday, Sept. 14 at the conclusion of the stock car races at Phillips County Raceway.
With his quick adaptation to the prosthetic leg, Luke and his mother have another goal in sight. In October they will start meeting with doctors about a sports prosthetic leg with the hopes of getting one before soccer and baseball start in the spring.
Luke Sprague tests out the durability of his new leg Saturday, Sept. 14 at the mutton bustin' event at the Phillips County Raceway.
Support has been strong for young Luke since his injury. Along with local fundraisers and the people of the community extending a helping hand, Emma said she was surprised by the amount of support they have received from people they have never met throughout the county.
She estimates that they have received more than 40 letters in the mail from people many states over who heard about Luke's situation through Facebook posts. Many of the letters were from people who went through similar situations and just wanted to let Luke know that they are pulling for him and impressed with all of his progress.
Whether he is in a wheel-chair, hopping around on one leg, on crutches or walking on his new prosthetic, the progress Luke has made in such a short period after such a serious injury is inspiring.

Greensboro, NC - Guilford Technical Community College student Matthew Faris wanted to go to college, but he didn't have the money. The Post 9/11 GI Bill, which covers tuition, books and living expenses, was his answer. So he joined the Army Reserves.
"Just the chance to get an education without piling all this debt on top of it - that's worth it to me," Faris said.
Matthew is one of more than 773,000 veterans and family members to receive part of $20 billion in Post 9/11 GI benefits so far. But a Government Accountability Office audit reveals the data the VA's collecting on student performance is "outdated or incomplete." That means the VA is not sure if those tax dollars are leading to degrees or jobs after school.
The VA's response to auditors: the main goal is to "provide veterans with benefits", not to be responsible for "academic performance."
"If we don't have real information on the success of military veterans in higher education or the return on investment of the post 9/11 GI Bill, I absolutely see the window closing for this benefit," said Michael Dakduk, executive director of Student Veterans of America.
Dakduk says this information should be tracked so lawmakers won't cut the program.
"Some folks have reported that veterans are dropping out in high rates, I think that has become a common misconception in society today and really it's unknown," he said.
Student Veterans of America is partnering with the VA and the National Student Clearinghouse to start collecting numbers. They expect result by next year. Then we'll find out how many students like Faris are having success in school.
In the meantime several local schools already track GI student performance. UNCG, ECPI and GTCC all say veteran performance is nearly identical to or better than the general student population.
GTCC's numbers show 50 percent of their vet students stay in school after the first year compared to 48 percent of all students.
"They are disciplined. They can do online studies. Or at school. They have the dedication," veteran coordinator Flora Taylor said.

RE: Foree
Henry Silas Foree's maternal grandmother, Mary (Nuttall) Lamb, (1767-1839), was the sister of two of my 3 greats grandfathers,
which means you're my 5th cousin twice removed.
I'm hoping to eventually be able to add memorials Henry's father and maternal grandparents. The exact location of at least two of these graves has been lost, but clues may exist to permit adding Find-a-Grave memorials, along with thoughts as to likely places of internment. Concerning Henry's father, Edwin Foree, (1810-1853), there's nothing on where he may have died. His maternal grandmother, Mary (Nuttall) Lamb, (1767-1839), died in Carroll Co., KY. I have suspicions, based on the location of her husband Jacob Lamb's land and various family members buried there, as to where she might be buried, but can't be certain. Henry Silas Foree's maternal grandfather, Jacob Lamb, (1766-1863), died in Indianapolis, IN. He was living with his daughter Frances (Lamb) Cropper, and her husband Alexander, both of whom are buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, but we can't be certain Jacob's there. A
death notice for Jacob appeared in the Dec.2,1863 Indianapolis
Journal. This paper is now only available on microfilm, at certain
libraries in Indianapolis, and I've yet to see the actual document.
[The same paper also reportedly published an article on May 28,
1861, on your ancestor Jacob Lamb being 95 and having served
in three wars, including the Revolution.]
I'd definitely be willing to transfer Henry to you, being a direct
descendant, if you'd like. But are there any children or grand-
children from whom you descend who should be transferred

Robert E Rommel
Clyde McDonald
Hannah -- My name is Robert E Rommel. I used to live across the street from your great-grandfather Clyde in Lakewood Estates in Montgomery County. I purchased my home there back in the summer of 1977 and I think it was from your grandfather Robert Eugene "Gene" McDonald. I remember talking with Clyde on numerous occasions. He was so interesting and loved to talk about his logging business. I remember that he had a fleet of big trucks and he told me that he never owned anything but Mack trucks. He said they were the best trucks on the road. My address there was 2503 Lakewood Estates, Conroe, TX 77301. I think that road now has a different name. Am I correct that there are your ancestors? Thanks.
