ATLANTA, Ga. -- The hip-hop artist known as Ludacris gave him $2500 last month, and his entertainment company added another $2500. Clifford Harris, better known as TI, gave him $2000 in December. Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry gave $2500.
The contributions were reported in a campaign disclosure filed late Tuesday. And they represented mere drops in a sizable fundraising bucket that bankrolls the re-election campaign of Mayor Kasim Reed.
Reed says his fundraising is, in part, supposed to send a message.
"What I'm focused on is letting everybody know that I don't want any other job but the job that I have, and I aim to keep it," Reed told 11 Alive News in an interview in his office at City Hall.
His fundraising has undoubtedly deterred potential opponents. Reed says his record also has. He says the city has hired 700 police officers, lowered crime, and balanced budgets. Reed has also tackled the costly issue of city pensions, while increasing the city's reserve fund.
"So I think in terms of the commitment I made to folks (in 2009), I tried to honor it. And I haven't raised property taxes," Reed said.
Reed's 2009 opponent, Mary Norwood, told 11Alive News Tuesday that she hasn't ruled out a rematch in 2013. Norwood was well-funded in 2009, but hasn't raised any money for a campaign in 2013.
RELATED: Reed raises money, deters 2013 challengers
Reed says his absence of an opponent is irrelevant to his job as a candidate seeking re-election. "So whether somebody runs or doesn't run, I'm going to wake up every single day not taking anything for granted, because I'm going to do what it necessary to be re-elected mayor of the city," Reed said.
Reed has used his campaign fund to pay for some travel, including last year's visit to the Democratic convention in Charlotte. He's made charitable contributions, like to the Atlanta Business League. He's also made contributions to other political candidates, including members of the Atlanta city council.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - The big question for those who oppose illegal immigration is if they can challenge the President's decision in court or through the ballot box.
President Obama's decision to allow young undocumented immigrants to remain in the country by deferring their deportation and granting them work permits if they behaved legally- is angering those who support a hard line on illegal immigration such as Brad Botwin who spearheaded the drive to repeal Maryland's Dream Act.
But outside the White house, jubilation as scores of students celebrated the chance to live the American dream and make a difference
Dream Act supporter Ives Gomes said, "Most of us are here because we want to pursue our education, we want to pursue our future and we want to give back to this country." Ives said that he lives "with my cousin who has muscular dystrophy and there's nothing more that I'd like to do than work to find a cure for his disease."
Immigration experts told 9News Now they believe the President has the authority to grant this blanket deferred deportation status because it's essentially what immigration prosecutors do on a case by case basis. They also believe that having work permits helps these students secure a status that qualifies them for in-state tuition as long as they meet all the other criteria regardless of whether the Dream Act is repealed.

CLAYTON, Ga. -- The Rabun County Sheriff's Office is investigating the possibility that a wheelchair-bound woman was assaulted.
The victim, 21-year-old Ashley Hamilton, suffered extensive injuries to her head and face. Police found her at Raco's Sports Bar in Clayton on Apr. 3.
Rabun County Sheriff Frank Andrews said investigators think Hamilton was left in the care of family friends while her mother went out of town. The victim suffers from disabilities, including autism, and must use a wheelchair.
Andrews said Hamilton may have sustained her injuries on Apr. 2. Her face was bruised, bloody and swollen, and she also suffered several broken bones.
A home health professional said she told the victim's mother, Kelly Hamilton, to take the young woman to the hospital, but Ashley Hamilton did not receive medical attention until police and EMS found her at the sports bar. She is now being treated at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville.
No arrests have been made, but Andrews said the sheriff's office has several persons of interest. A number of people were interviewed, and they all cooperated with police.
Investigators are now trying to determine when and how Hamilton was injured.
"We must be diligent in our efforts to find as much tangible evidence as possible since our victim is not in a position to tell us what happened to her," Andrews said in a statement. "It is in the interest of justice to see that no stone is left unturned."

Nothing in our society is more important to the future of our nation as the education of our children. The current problems plaguing the educational system in America are topics of concern for every citizen of this great country. The education system in America is failing and without great changes could self-destruct. For executive travel a reliable and dependable limos Long Island company can get you to the airport on time giving you time to relax and make phone calls on the way.
The first topic up for discussion would be the dynamic of the school day for a typical child in America. Children wake up early, go to school early and are asked to sit through six or more hours of constant instruction with a 20 minute break for lunch in between. Schools offering recess have a 20 minute period after lunch in which children can run freely or sit quietly in a library. When the school day is done, the students are expected to not only remember every single thing that they learned that day, but also to do even more work when they get home. Their evenings are filled with sports and homework. Little family time and even less time to relax and just be. When I had my first child I wanted to find the best child care Islip in my area that would take care of my baby just as good as I would.
As a rational adult, I can easily see the problem here. Imagine yourself in an incredibly boring board meeting that lasted over six hours. Now imagine yourself going home and having to re-do all of the work that you completed during that meeting, but in a different format. Now imagine having to return to yet another meeting the very next day and having to recite the entire meeting back to your boss and be prepared to do the same thing that same day. Could you handle it? Wouldn't you want to quit? Is it physically possible for your brain to stay focused for that many hours? It is not, yet this is a typical school day for every child in America today and it needs to stop.
My husband was reluctant to call them for Brooklyn boiler repair over the summer and felt that the problem was one that we could live with for a while, but when he found out how economical their services were, he made certain to have the problem fixed and we are happy to say that we had no problems over the winter months with our system.

This letter is intended to be a helpful resource for you as you begin your planning for the new year ahead. To continue our effort to provide you with resources about efficiencies, we offer this important information about the purchase of office supplies through Willamette approved vendors.
With the support and assistance of the business office staff, we have developed a system to analyze the purchase of all of the office supplies by Willamette University during a recent year. We created a sample using dollars spent and quantity purchased that allowed us to review how Willamette would save money buying in multiple quantities or which vendor offered us the lowest overall price per item. We evaluated which vendor represented the lowest total amount of Willamette money spent on this representative sample of items. This analysis informed us of patterns and trends, as well as departmental buying habits and frequency.
Next, we considered the operations and transactions that take place to provide office supplies to the University community. We sought to understand how much time would be expensed using local vendors to order an item, how quickly a department could receive an item, how cumbersome is processing a payment, return policies, and what breadth of items can a vendor provide to the University? Finally, we considered which vendors would honor our desire to not deliver items that conflict with our sustainability and efficiency initiatives.The attached document shows the price comparison, and indicates that we found some differences in pricing that allow for savings. All three vendors are able to deliver on our operational and transaction needs. An overall pattern emerged, revealing that if you would follow the recommended course for the upcoming year, your department will spend less on office supplies, toner cartridges and general use items than just randomly making purchases in what may be a usual way or practice.
Useful tips for buying office supplies and saving money
- Whenever possible, buy in bulk. If your department needs the item, buying in bulk is an easy way to save money. When ordering supplies, touch base with the others in your office area, floor, or building to see if they need any office supplies as well. This will not be a burden to the business office as long as you process the invoice with the business office right away. To do this, divide the transaction dollar amount to correspond with the correct account numbers for each department. Waiting to process the invoice will result in the default account number being charged and requiring a journal entry. This makes extra work for the Business Office at a cost of time and resources.
- Please use the vendors who we have secured pricing and service expectation agreements with. Willamette works to secure the best possible pricing with vendors, some of whom are local. If you have a question about a particular item or vendor, please contact me for assistance.
- Be cognizant of what you are buying. Ask yourself, "Do I really need to buy a box of a dozen pens for $13, or will the box for $8 get the job done?" Many have personal preferences for specific office supplies. Being prudent at the moment of ordering will likely result in the greatest overall departmental saving. I have information readily available if you are interested in seeing a report for how your departmental area spent money on office supplies, please contact me at <purchasing>.
- Please recycle your old office supplies - ink fillers can be purchased for pens, lead can be purchased for mechanical pencils. Old binders can be used for storing documents that you may not need on a regular basis. We are working to develop a collection point for surplus office supplies that could be available to the community in the coming months.
- Do not buy paper. The University has a contract with a paper provider that meets all of our sustainability goals. In our agreements with Office Depot and Cooke's the purchasing of white copy paper is not permitted.
- Your Xerox machines can be used as a network printer, and the toner for those machines is built into the contract. If you must print using your "personal" desktop printer, consider using it only for documents that may be confidential or you need in the moment. Also, consider changing the setting of your desk top printer to print in Grayscale or use a setting that will allow your toner to last longer.
- Don't buy things like candy or coffee or paper towels/plates/utensils from an office supplier vendor. University Purchasing has a Costco Card that can be checked out. Just contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com to inquire about how to reserve the card.
- Plan ahead - Departments don't always need weeks or days to "plan ahead." Depending on what it is needed, lead time of a work day can be enough advance notice to be able to save dollars when ordering office supplies.
Looking strictly at office supplies, without including toner, printer or paper purchases, the University can save tens of thousands of dollars by utilizing the agreements we have made with these office supply vendors. If you are interested in seeing more information on office supplies and printer toner, please let me know, I will be happy to show you the data we have compiled.
Thank you for your time in reading this, and don't hesitate to let me know if there are any questions.

Sometimes a look beyond retail sales and leading economic indicators is needed to assess whether a community is thriving, striving or slowly in decline.
According to many economic indicators, Humboldt County is booming in a quiet, yet consistent way, showing very positive signs for growth in the future.
On Monday, Humboldt County Economic Development Director Alissa Reinholdt presented a biennial report to both the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and the Humboldt City Council.
In sharing the report of the Humboldt County Development Association, the group that Reinholdt oversees, there were many positive signs to show that business recruitment and retention as well as industry expansion is on the way up.
Reinholdt said that from new business recruitment to existing industry expansions, the capital investment made in Humboldt County over the past two years has exceeded $4 million.
During that time, HCDA has partnered with six local industry expansions, resulting in a capital investment of $4.5 million, more than 40 new jobs created, 150 local jobs retained and $1.6 million plus in additional property tax valuation.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
According to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States, men are "substantially more likely to start a business each month than women". In the seventeen year period from 1996 – 2012, the average rate of entrepreneurial activity for men was .37 percent; for women during the same period it was .23 percent.
Entrepreneurship is flourishing on campuses around the country. In classrooms and through co-curricular programs and competitions, students on diverse campuses, at universities large and small, representing disciplines across the spectrum, have the opportunity to understand the role of entrepreneurship in the economy, explore innovation, test their own ideas, and learn what they need to know to be entrepreneurs.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.
"No business plan survives first contact with customers," Steve Blank says. What? Isn't the point of planning that you maximize the likelihood of success in the marketplace? Well yes, but perhaps not the kind of planning you might be thinking about. A business plan conceived on paper, powered by a great idea or invention, enhanced by research on the size of the market and a customer profile, has great potential. But it also has a crucial flaw.

I've been researching some mics and aside from reviews I've been looking at the specs. I'm not sure I understand what impedance is and why I care about it when purchasing a mic.
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 20:09
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Lower is Better
Generally, microphone impedance of less than 600Ω is considered "low impedance" and anything greater than 10,000Ω is considered "high impedance".
Impedance matching
Yes, has BenV said, impedance is a measure of how a device resists or impedes the flow. The catch is, it's also frequency dependant.
Some more expensive preamps will even allow you to select several input impedances for the device allowing you to approximate the one for your microphone, or if you are in the mood to try something different, well...
I usually notice problems straight away with older ribbon microphones, or some dynamic. Condenser microphones have built in circuitries or a dedicated transformer so you will usually find that they have an pretty consistent average of what their impedance value might be.
Thing is, a difference between 100ohms to 1kohm can change drastically the sound! not only the loss of high frequency but the low end response gets slightly modified. An example is the actual physical resistance that a microphone has. The damper the microphone is usually the thicker the bottom end will sound.

MORGANTOWN - For Wheeling native and Linsly School graduate Matthew Miller, educating and empowering young people are keys to improving communities.
He shared that vision and more on Thursday while serving as keynote speaker for The Building Conference at the Waterfront Place Hotel in Morgantown.
While delivering The Intelligencer throughout the Friendly City at the age of 10, Miller didn't realize he would some day teach at the University of California, Berkeley. Yet nearly 17 years after leaving Linsly, Miller's work in environmental design and architecture earned him the chance to address students, scholars, community leaders and others at the event.

Matthew Miller, a Wheeling native and 1996 Linsly graduate, delivers the keynote address during The Building Conference at the Waterfront Place Hotel in Morgantown.
"Failure will happen, but it can be a catalyst for change if you can use it properly," said Miller, whose family owned and operated Ye Olde Alpha on Carmel Road in Wheeling for more than 70 years before selling it to Mark Thomas and Charles Schlegel.
"Education is key because it allows you to put people in positions to be able to help themselves," Miller added.
Miller is an architect who holds degrees from the University of Tennessee and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design, the College of Creative Studies and UC Berkeley. He now runs the Studio H group in Berkeley, Calif., with business partner Emily Pilloton.
The conference continues through Saturday. Wheeling resident Mark Swiger, who teaches in Marshall County Schools, is scheduled to speak today. Thom Worlledge, who works out of Charleston for Wheeling-based McKinley & Associates, also is slated to address the conference.
The Building Conference is geared toward learning new ways to improve communities by preserving and maintaining natural assets. The conference is a West Virginia GreenWorks collaboration with West Virginia University's School of Art and Design, West Virginia State University's Research and Public Service Extension and the West Virginia chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council.
"This is a conference that touches on every aspect of community life, including transportation, paving and wastewater treatment and management. It's a seminal quality of place conference," said Sarah Halstead, West Virginia State University's sustainable community and economic development specialist. "The fact is, how we design our communities has everything to do with all aspects of our lives and the health of our people."
Mentioning that he has not spent much time in Wheeling since his 1996 high school graduation, Miller said he would "love the idea" of doing some work in West Virginia, but has not yet found the right opportunity.
"Ultimately, the power of architecture does not work in a vacuum. You need to empower youth. Give them a stake; give them a reason to come back," Miller added of his philosophy. "Top down does not work."

PINKS All Out - Four Wide, Side By Side!Written by on September 1, 2009 32,000 Fans Attend A Historic Pinks All Out Taping At Zmax Dragway's State-Of-The-Art Four-Lane Dragstrip.
Drag racing has long been a fragmented sport. Take, for example, Drag Radial, Foot Brake, Pro Stock, Outlaw 10.5, Super Pro, Nostalgia Super Stock, and Pro Extreme. They all have their diehard fans and they all run similar formats, but try explaining the differences to the everyday fan. Throw in that they all run at different places under different rules. Pretty confusing for the first timer, don't you think?
That may be the biggest reason why PINKS has become such a hit for the casual motorsports fan. In a world where reality TV has become standard fare in nearly every home, it's grassroots drag racing that's simple to watch and understand. It's raw, it's edgy, and it draws viewers into becoming emotionally involved as they root for their favorite drivers and cars.
"To me, this is the world's largest game show," said Rich Christensen, who is the creator, producer, and face of PINKS on TV. "My job is to go out there and communicate, so if it's your first time to the track, you'll know exactly as much as someone who's been watching for 20 years. You might not know all the intricacies of how the car works, but you'll certainly know that the first to the finish line wins and the loser goes home."
In the years that PINKS has been on cable TV, the show has progressed through different incarnations. PINKS Lose the Race-Lose your Ride, drew immediate interest and was an instant hit for the SPEED cable television network. Yet, even with a bona fide hit on their hands, the TV executives knew the basic formula needed tweaking. Various gambling laws severely limited at which tracks the show could be run, and casting became difficult, as individual racers quickly learned this was a great place to advance a personal agenda.
PINKS All Out debuted in September 2006 with the goal of expanding the field to 250 racers with a $10,000 grand prize. The new format was a hit as well. SPEED never intended to get into the event business, but the success of the program has led to their appearance at 28 tracks across the country. It also spawned a spin off, known as Arm Drop Live, which has an aggressive schedule with 33 events planned for just this year alone.
"Arm Drop is my opportunity to go around the country to smaller tracks that PINKS wouldn't go to," Christensen explains. "It means that racers don't have to travel so far to see me. I come to see them. We put on the exact same show as PINKS All Out, and I love the intimacy of it."
During the course of each PINKS All Out event, the show's technical advisors evaluate the field of grassroots drag racers as they run through two rounds of time trials. Thirty-two entries are then selected based upon the closeness of competition, consistency in performance, and, of course, their adherence to the rule of running "all out." Once selected, the 32 cars will run off down to a field of 16 finalists, which are then rigged with cameras and microphones before their final eliminations. Once the field is narrowed down to just two cars, a best two out of three round robin finale will determine the ultimate winner.
Christensen talks about the basic rules constantly while he's wired to a live mic at the starting line. For the 32 finalists, they are exceptionally simple:
* First to the finish line wins, the loser goes home.
* If you go too fast, you're thrown out.
* If you jump before the arm drops, you're done.
* If you take too long, you're disqualified.
* If you drop coolant on the track, you're banned for life.
For the fans who came to see the show at zMAX Dragway just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 25, the evening turned out to be a double treat, as they got to see not only PINKS All Out, but also the first ever televised four-lane eliminations. The 32 finalists all took their turns at four-wide eliminations to determine the final eight. Once there, the final eight had the chance to compete for $10,000, a NAPA Auto Parts tool chest, and the chance to run in front of a national cable audience on SPEED. The finalists then reverted to the standard two-lane elimination to finish the show, which is tentatively scheduled to premiere on August 6, in 720-pixel high definition.
The event went flawlessly, as 32,000 fans packed their way into the facility in one single day. Not only did the event put 500-plus grassroots racers on a national stage, but the spectacle also exposed thousands to the sounds and smells of drag racing.
Remaining Arm Drop Live Event Schedule
Yet another incarnation of PINKS All Out will soon be at 33 different tracks throughout the nation in the form of Arm Drop Live! The basic difference is that these will be non-televised events, which makes the racing even more up close and personal with Rich Christensen.

Rich Christensen In Five Quotes
"I'm from a town of 3,000 in Iowa where you were judged growing up on your work ethic. I took pride in trying to outwork as many people as I could and, more importantly, do it in such a way that was smart and honest without screwing anybody."
"I'm not a car guy. It's the most mind boggling thing. I still can't open the hood of a car. I don't get it when I look at it. I have no idea what I'm looking at. None. This allowed me to focus on the human in the car. When everybody else is focusing on the nitrous and the turbos and the blowers, I never saw any of it. I literally saw the eyes of the guys sitting in the car."
"I tell you what I think. I tell you what I feel. If I came out to PINKS All Out and spent the money, I'd want a show and I'd want to be treated with some respect. Do you see bikini shows here? Do you see wet T-shirt contests here? Do you see $40-$60 tickets here? No!"
"A third of the people here have probably never been to the track before. They've just come out to see what I do. If I can give them a good experience and they start coming back to a track and learning about it, what's the lifelong value of that spectator? It could potentially be thousands of dollars for the track itself and more importantly, for drag racing."
"I drive a hybrid Camry and a Highlander, but I also have an AWD Chrysler 300 that I travel with when I don't feel like flying. I stretched it 40 inches, stuck a leather bed in the back and put a satellite dish on the top. It has black wheels, an upgraded air intake and a chip in it. We've had some of the most fun trips driving across this country. I'm madly in love with that car."

Billionaire Bruton Smith stirred considerable controversy in late 2007 when he announced plans to build the nation's only four-lane, all-concrete dragstrip adjacent to Lowes Motor Speedway. When the local city council ruled against it, Smith threatened to close the NASCAR track and relocate it elsewhere within a year. The local government relented and the 46.5-acre zMAX Dragway facility with seating for 30,000-plus ran its first event the following year.David Dunwoody's Refrigerator White '78 Chevy Malibu wagon had the crowd of 32,000 on its feet with 9-second runs at almost 140 mph. David ran a 406 with an NOS Cheater system on this street-legal wheelstander.Running eliminations with four cars abreast on TV is something that had never been attempted, until PINKS All Out arrived in Charlotte. ZMAX Dragway provided the right facility, but a computer timing system had to be devised along with new procedures and logistics in order to pull it off. Everything went smoothly as the last 32 cars were pared down to eight in just four rounds of eliminations.Over 500 racers jumped at the chance to get into the final field of 32 cars at PINKS All Out at zMAX Dragway. PINKS expanded the field from the usual 16 finalists to take full advantage of the four-lane racetrack for this event only.
Having the opportunity to compete on a national level in front of huge crowds on national TV is part of the magnetic draw for a wide variety of Sportsman racers. There's no Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, or Pro Mod to take the spotlight away from the everyday racer, and car enthusiasts relate because it brings them a show that's on their level.Russell Boyce of Greenwood, South Carolina, made his first PINKS appearance memorable as he made it to the best two out of three final rounds in this '70 Ford Maverick. Having never raced the quarter-mile before, the car ran high 9s with a 460 that was bored and stroked to 502 ci. With no time to cool down or charge in between rounds, he was unable to make it to the line after the heat got to his Powerglide. Once he was home, the cooled-off tranny worked fine. Boyce later said that putting three Chevys on the trailer at once was his best memory from the event.Buster D'Amato was another first timer at PINKS and won $12,000 to match the number on his original '65 Nova SS. Running all motor with a 406 small-block under the hood, this car is still driven on the highway, complete with wipers, radio, and a full interior. With round robin-style eliminations and no time to work on the car in the later rounds, Buster feels that a street car has a distinct advantage over a full-time race car in PINKS competition.In PINKS All Out, each of the eight finalists received $1,000. Five hundred dollar bets made against each other in the subsequent rounds determined how much money they would ultimately take home. Seen shaking hands just before the final round, runner up Russell Boyce (left) and winner Buster D'Amato have since gotten offers to increase their earnings by match racing at area tracks.Don Main of South Point, Ohio, turned a lot of heads with this 468-powered '68 Impala SS street car. "I've been watching this show since it first came out," he said. "I've never done this before and I just wanted to come out and have some fun. It's different, and it's really done something for the sport."Larry Pierce and his buddies rushed to complete this 421 small-block-powered '72 Chevy C-10 pickup just before the race in honor of another friend who passed away. "PINKS has brought a lot of attention back to drag racing. It's also got more people off of the street and onto the track. That's why I think they're so many people here. This is the ultimate dragstrip."Darrell Cox (left) and driver Damien Carter represented the domestic sport compact crowd with this 10-second twin-turbo, 2.4L-powered '02 Dodge Neon SRT-4. "We're here to encourage the grassroots racers to come out. It doesn't matter what you have. If you have a car you want to run, PINKS is a series where you can come with your family and friends and participate."Dewey McCaskill and his wife celebrated his 70th birthday while en route from their home in Colorado to zMAX Dragway to race their 10-second '57 Chevy. "PINKS is probably the best thing that's come out for people who just want to race," he said. "You bring what you want to run without the hassle of having to run against high-dollar cars."

The lack of response and answers leads one to believe this was a high fence hunt. Unfortunately there are plenty of them in Utah. Wonderful bull, but a farm raised elk means nothing compared to a public land bull.

Technology Beyond the Classroom
WestConnduit, WestConn's campus-wide portal, provides a more streamlined approach to retrieving information without having to authenticate multiple times into various campus systems. For example, WestConnduit is fully integrated with Banner Student Services allowing students automatic access to their class schedule, grades, unofficial transcript, Financial Aid information, plus much more. Students and faculty also have access to their BlackBoard courses without having to log into the BlackBoard course management system separately. In the future, the portal will even link directly to students' University e-mail accounts without separate authentication.
It gets even better, because institutions can personalize portal content to the role, interests, and needs of individual end users. Students, along with receiving campus-wide announcements, receive personalized targeted announcements based on their student role (ex: Psychology major). WestConnduit will also enable students to set up or join groups based on special interest (Debate Society, Chemistry club, etc.). The Group Studio allows group leaders and members to post information and partake in discussions specific to the group.
WestConnduit enables the University3 to communicate more effectively with students, faculty, and staff. It is an integral part of the University's plan to consolidate information and create a more unified digital campus.
Banner is WestConn's enterprise resource planning system (ERP) which integrates and assists in managing administrative functions such as Human Resources, Finance, Alumni, Admissions, Registration, and Financial Aid. The Banner Self Service Web products let faculty and students obtain information and perform various functions from any computer with Internet access.

UU is becomming "A Campus of Difference"
A Campus of Difference is a diversity education session created by the Anti Defamation League (ADL). The ADL is a leader in the development and delivery of anti-bias training and resources for college and university campuses throughout the United States. At Urbana University, this session invites faculty and staff to explore the impact of stereotypes, bias and discrimination on individuals and on the entire campus climate.
Building on this awareness, they are able to identify effective strategies to respond effectively to bias, implement effective policies on campus, and inspire students to speak out and become the advocates and voices of positive change on campus. "A Campus of Difference" workshops are helping establish more welcoming, inclusive and diverse environments where people have true opportunities to reach for their fullest potential as global citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
Urbana University has made a commitment to diffusing this sort of understanding throughout our community. A group of trained facilitators will be on campus September 9 to present a four hour training session from 9:00am-1:00pm in the Sara Landess Room of the Student Center. We are looking for 10-15 faculty or staff members and 35-40 students. With support from the Office of the Provost, any student participating in the training will be excused from classes.
Are you interested in building a climate of respect on our campus?
Would you like to better understand both yourself and others?
Are you brave enough to learn to be an advocate and a voice of positive change?
Help Create a Better U!
Applications can be downloaded online and turned in to Mitch Joseph, Director of Campus Life, or Susie Sassenberg, Counselor/Student Development Specialist. Applications can also be picked up in the Student Center or Student Services Office.
Funding for "A Campus of Difference" was provided through a grant from The Mental Health, Drug, and Alcohol Board of Logan and Champaign Counties.

bench to lead the Charlotte 49ers to a 72-58 victory over the Oral Roberts
Golden Eagles in the semifinal round of the Great Alaska Shootout at Sullivan
Chris Braswell contributed 11 points and six assists for Charlotte (5-0),
which will face Northeastern in the championship game. Pierria Henry
contributed seven assists and five steals to help keep the 49ers' perfect
record intact.
Shawn Glover paced Oral Roberts (3-2) with 18 points on 8-of-16 shooting from
the floor. Warren Niles added 15 points, Steven Roundtree scored 12, and Damen
Bell-Holter pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds. The Golden Eagles will next

the intermission despite converting only 10-of-27 from the field before the
Charlotte heated up to knocked down 46.4 percent of its field goal attempts
and 10-of-12 at the free throw line in the second half. The Golden Eagles
improved to make 13-of-31 attempts from the floor over the final 20 minutes,

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - It turned out state-ranked St. Clairsville didn't need either of its injured NCAA Division-I recruits Friday night to retain the coveted Coal Bucket.
With sophomore Shane Peroni doing his best Jaylon Brown impersonation, and the bend-but-don't-break defense overcoming the loss of linebacker Michael Ferns (Michigan), St. Clairsville (6-0) rolled to a 40-7 Homecoming victory against Harrison Central at balmy Red Devil Stadium.
Peroni, who is listed at 5-foot-8 and 140 pounds, ran bigger than that as he accounted for a career-high 96 yards and scored two touchdowns on 12 carries for the Red Devils, who were ranked No. 2 in the latest Associated Press poll behind Wheelersburg.
"There was a lot of pressure on me, but I responded," Peroni said. "I just tried to run away from the defenders and the offensive line did a good job of blocking in front of me."
His head coach couldn't have been any prouder.
"We practice our butts off from top to bottom,'' St. Clairsville's Brett McLean said. ''We don't stand around at practice. All the kids get work that people don't know. It paid off (Friday night). Sure, we had some injuries, but we put the pressure on the kids in practice. That's what you have to do so they don't come out and panic under the lights.
The Huskies (2-4) won the opening coin toss, but deferred until the second half. That proved to be a bad decision as it took St. Clairsville one play to find the end zone.
Starting at his own 40, junior quarterback Michael Monteroso went for it all on first down. His pass down the sideline hit speedy Malik Gummer in stride at the Huskies 25. The Red Devils junior made a nifty cutback on a defender at the 20 and walked into the end zone to complete to 60-yard strike.
"It's always good to score early," McLean said.
After forcing a Harrison Central punt, Monteroso found sophomore Brendan Ferns all alone in the middle of the end zone from 12 yards out. Zach Musilli's second of four PATs made it 14-0 with 6:30 left in the first quarter.
Peroni keyed the 58-yard march with a 25-yard burst around his right end.
Harrison Central was finally able to muster some offense as the Huskies drove from their own 30 to deep in St. Clairsville territory, but on first-and-goal from the 3, the ball was fumbled and the Red Devils fell on it at the 2.
"We made a lot of mental mistakes," Harrison Central coach Justin Kropka said. "I was really disappointed in how we played. Not so much the physical aspect because I thought we played hard, but mentally we had some bad, bad mistakes.
"We even went with a conservative game plan trying to avoid the turnovers, but instead of throwing three interceptions, we fumbled three times. I'm at a loss as to how and correct that."
The Huskies finally found the promised land as Travis Stenson capped a 4:52 drive with a 11-yard blast up the middle.
However, that would be all the points the visitors could muster as St. Clairsville came up with big play after big play defensively.
On the ensuing drive, Monteroso used his arm to drive the Red Devils down the field. Hitting on four of his nine completions, he got his team to within field goal range for Musilli. The strong-legged senior split the uprights from 23 yards out as the lead increased to 17-7.
The Huskies, behind a pair of big runs from Niko Williams and Bryson Porter, got to the St. Clairsville 4 late in the half before turing it over on downs.
"We needed to score there, but we felt good being down 17-7," Kropka noted. "We were getting the ball to start the second half, but we didn't do anything with it and they went down the field and scored."
The Red Devils first possession of the second half ended the same as the initial possession of the game. On second-and-7 from the Huskies 48, Peroni took a handoff to the left. He saw a bevy of defenders and wisely cutback against the grain where he found a whole lot of running room. Just when it seemed like he was stopped at the 7, he alertly stopped and cutback to his left before walking in untouched.
St. Clairsville was forced to punt on its next series, but the ball slipped through the returners hands and Tanner Nemeti pounced on it at the Harrison Central 13. After a Monteroso-to-Jake Stewart pass picked up 8 yards, Peroni went around his left end for the remaining 5 yards and six more points. Musilli made it 31-7.
A 29-yard Musilli field goal and a 4-yard scoring run by Cole Skaggs concluded the scoring in the final quarter.
For the game, St. Clairsville racked up 375 yards of offense, with 212 coming on the ground. Monteroso was 9-for-16 for 163 yards and the two scores.
Harrison Central finished with 265 yards, with 189 of that coming via the ground. Williams led the way with five carries for 52 yards. Miser was only on target eight times in 20 attempts for 76 yards and a pick. He did surpass the 1,000-yard mark on the season.

Hi dear guys,
I'm runing a server with Fedora 7 and Zimbra 5.0.8 OpenSourceEdition.
Users(with simplified chinese XP,IE6, GB2312) reports that some mail in traditional fonts couldn't read on the webmail interface but it is ok inside the Outlook or OE , while reading those mails at the webmail they displays as a blank box .
it's fun that some mail in traditional fonts could dispaly normally at the webmail interface.
from the mail header , both of them are writed as below:
Content-Type: text/plain;
but some difference in the encoding mode:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 ( the fonts display normal, readable.)
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable (some fonts display as a box)
if those mails encoding in quoted-printable mode , only the english fonts and some of the chinese fonts display normally.
How can i fix the problem to make my users read all the mail? I set the defualt COS using utf-8, but i think that isn't the main reason display the box fonts.

The Way You Look Tonight is the newest book in Bella Andre's New York Times and USA Today bestselling Sullivan series. Over a million books sold so far!
As a very successful private investigator who has caught most of the cheaters in Seattle with their pants down, Rafe Sullivan believes true, lasting love only happens once in a blue moon. Needing to get away from the city to clear his head, he finds the lake house where he spent the best summers of his life is now a wreck…but the sweet girl next door is all grown up and prettier than anything he's ever seen.
While Brooke Jansen is happy making and selling chocolate truffles in her small Pacific Northwest lake town, she secretly longs to experience something wild. So when her favorite "Wild Sullivan" moves in again next door after more than a decade away, and sparks fly between them, she can't stop wondering if being bad is really as good as it always seemed…and just how long it will be before she can find out.
But when their summer fling quickly spirals into deeper emotions than either of them were expecting, can they survive the heat between them? Or will Rafe make the biggest mistake of his life and end up losing the best thing that's ever happened to him?
©2013 Oak Press, LLC (P)2013 Oak Press, LLC
Romance Reader Enthusiast
"A Great Way to Enjoy Bella's Work"
I think this enhances the print version. But it is a great alternative.
Brooke Jansen was my favorite character. She's got a great profession and had me wishing that this came with smell-a-vision. And having a female narrator also helps the reader identify with the female character.
No I have not but am looking forward to changing that. Just by the sound of her voice she paints a great picture of the Sullivan family. You also won't get bored listening to her.
It made me smile. It's a great way to fall in love with a family who seem to care about each other.
If you've never experienced an audiobook before, this would be a great way to change that. If you're a fan of Bella Andre, you should experience one of her books in audio form. This would be a great one to take to the beach or a lake (a great way to set the ambiance).
I am a busy sports mom listening to romance only. If the narrator is good and it has a decent plot, I will find it enjoyable.
By now, there really isn't anything you can go wrong with these books. Easy sweet read and I like them all.
Great as usual.
Yes. That said, when I get tired of intense drama, sex, mystery, and plot, I turn to BA's books. I love the Sullivan series and am glad to see it's extension to another branch of the family.
I think the disparity between Brooke & Rafe makes the story interesting. The least interesting is that the story didn't really have much depth and it seemed rushed; rushed to meet again, rushed to love, rushed, rushed, rushed, almost as if BA was trying to hurry through the book in order to get to another.
The end when Rafe is making his amends. (No spoilers)
More "story".
Not BA's best, but easy, soft and enjoyable.
Chocolate Truffles melt in your mouth and so will Rafe and Brooke love the Sullivans Thank You Bella for more Sullivans
"AMA,ing Love!"
I the the Sullivans but I have to admit that Rafe is one of my favorite. He is dark but has a heart of gold! It was only fitting for him to get a woman as bright as Brook! I just wish there was more to their story! Just an amazing love story. I read romances all the time but I have to be honest the Sullivan's have been one of my favorite series
Tell us about yourself!
"Love the Sullivans!"
Just wish the stories were so short. Still, I love listening to all of them. Highly recommend. Fun. Sexy. Sweet
"Not worth the credit."
I usually enjoy Bella Andre's books but this one fell far short. Pretty much everything I appreciated about her work is missing in this attempt. It has a weak, almost non-existent story line that moves from one erotic session to the next with limited character or plot development. Although I was tempted a number of times to stop listening I persevered through to the end, hoping it would get better. It didn't.
"Decent Book"
I would not recommend this book to a friend because of the sexual content. It has a good story & is written well. I just do not care for the sexual content.
Give me water to swim and surf in. That with a glass of white wine and the sun. That's heaven.
"Not too bad!"
Yes, it says you sometimes need to trust in blind faith.
I would probably have Mea run into her lost love at the end of the story.
Kind of slow
"One word - BoRING!"
I had such high hopes for this one. Lovely setting, near Seattle, there's a lakehouse, good storyline indicated. It fell seriously flat. It was painfully boring and slow moving. The characters very one dimensional and the dialogue didn't grab me at all. In fact the dialogue surrounding the 'love scenes' was at times cringy. The words 'sensuality' and 'wild' were used at least once in every paragraph yet nothing 'wild' ever actually happened.
Overall disappointing and would give it a miss if I were you.

Hi all,
This is a pseudo continuation of the following thread:
I'm moving on from the "fix the server" to the "move data out of the old installation and into a new" stage.
This is not an attempt at restoring from backup, since all attempts at restoration have failed and I've essentially given up on that as the problem seems to be some kind of permissions between LDAP and the MySQL instance or something. Basically, I can get the information store mounted, but can't send or receive e-mail, or search anything in Zimbra. I get a network service error.
This thread is to collaborate information on how to:
1) Export mail and mail settings from one Zimbra installation and
2) Import that mail into another.
I know that the e-mail itself is stored in .eml files that are in the /opt/zimbra/store folder. So, I suppose if I have to, I can create a shell Zimbra installation, create all of the same users, then somehow import those messages, possibly by going through this route:
.eml files ---> Outlook Express ---> Import into Outlook 2003 ---> Export to PST ---> Import into user's mail
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
Does anyone know where the user accounts and settings are located? My guess is that they're in the MySQL database...but where's that located?
- Jesse

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
I gotta a bad feeling about this game...
At least Michael Beasley isn't playing.

I have low expectations on the road, so won't be too dissappointed by about anything. We need to show progress though. Even if we don't hit from 3, we need to show that we are jellying into a team that does solid things...such as keep the other team from killing us on their offensive boards.
C'mon Clones!!!! Let's finally get one on the road

Medal events: 4Athletes: 110Dates: 8–13 February
Luge was first included in the Olympic Winter Games in Innsbruck in 1964 and has remained on the programme ever since. The men's and women's singles competitions are decided on the aggregate time of four runs over two consecutive days, while the doubles is a one-day competition of two runs.
Sochi 2014 will also feature the debut of the mixed team relay event, which will see each country field a men's singles sled, a doubles sled and a women's singles sled. All three sleds will slide down the track, one after another, with the clock stopping only after the third sled has crossed the finish line. A touch pad at the finish line must be activated by an athlete in one sled before the gate at the start line opens for the following sled.
Germany enjoyed a clean sweep of the 2013 World Cup titles, with reigning Olympic champion Felix Loch and 2013 world champion Natalie Geisenberger claiming the men's and women's crowns respectively, while Tobias Wendl and Tobias Artl topped the doubles standings. Although each of those is likely to start as gold medal favourites in Sochi, there are plenty of other athletes capable of topping the podium.
Loch's compatriots, Olympic silver medallist David Möller and World Championship silver medallist Andi Langenhan, are both likely to figure prominently in Sochi, while Italian legend Armin Zöggeler will be aiming to become the first athlete to win six medals at six different Winter Games. Germany's Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken are also likely to challenge their compatriots Wendl and Artl in the doubles, while Austrian brothers – and double Olympic champions – Andreas and Wolfgang Linger will not give up their Olympic title without a fight.
In the women's singles, Geisenberger will have to duel it out with teammate and reigning Olympic champion Tatjana Hüfner for the gold, with Russian hopes resting on World Championship silver medallist Tatiana Ivanova.
Germany's Georg Hackl is the most successful luger in Olympic history, having won five medals, including men's singles gold at three successive Games between 1992 and 1998. Following his silver medal in 2002, he became the first Winter Olympian to win a medal in five consecutive Games, and went in search of a sixth in Torino in 2006, where he finished seventh. Perhaps Hackl's finest performance came in Nagano in 1998, when he won the gold by clocking the fastest time in all four runs, becoming the first male luger in Olympic history to do so.
With two golds, one silver and two bronzes between 1994 and 2010, Armin Zöggeler also has five Olympic medals and is the only Italian athlete to have won a medal in five consecutive Games.
Germany's Silke Kraushaar, meanwhile, is the most decorated athlete in the women's event, winning gold in 1998, a silver in 2006, and a bronze in 2002.

In 2014, Pirates Charities partnered once again with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia to support the organization's annual "Kurt R. Weiss Scholarship for Wish Children" program.
The Kurt R. Weiss Scholarship for Wish Children was created in 1998 in honor of Kurt Weiss, a wish kid who overcame bone cancer and went on to attend Notre Dame University and Jefferson Medical College and study at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, NIH and UPMC. Inspired by his story of recovery, determination and generosity to other wish kids, executives at CoGo's established the scholarship fund to help motivate other wish children to pursue their post-high school educational ambitions.
Beyond the primary goal of helping wish children pursue higher education, the scholarship program was established to help counter the myth that the children helped by the Make-A-Wish Foundation are all terminal. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes for children living with life-threatening medical conditions and many pinpoint their involvement with the Foundation as a turning point in their recovery.
More than 80% of all children helped by the Make-A-Wish Foundation are alive today. The Kurt R. Weiss Scholarship program helps to spotlight these young people - years after their diagnosis and wish - and show them as young adults who are moving on with their lives and pursuing 'normal' activities such as graduation, college and beyond.
Pirates Charities became a sponsor of the Kurt R. Weiss Scholarship effort in 2010 and continued this support in 2014. In addition to financial support, Pirates Charities hosted a group of scholarship recipients and their families and friends to a night at the ballpark on Friday, May 9th. Before the game, the group of 160 gathered in the Pirates Press Conference Room to recognize the accomplishments of the 25 scholarship recipients. Attendees also enjoyed a ballpark buffet in Picnic Park. Then, the scholarship recipients who attended the event proceeded to the field where they were recognized for their accomplishments by Team President Frank Coonelly. Make-A-Wish President/CEO Judi Stone and Development Coordinator Andrea Ballas also joined the group on the field.
There were a total of 50 Weiss Scholarship recipients in 2014.
The Weiss Scholarship recipients recognized at PNC Park in 2014 were:
|Scholarship Recipient

|Sean Brame
|Penn State University

Other financial supporters of the Kurt R. Weiss Scholarship for Wish Kids are the Department of Musculoskeletal Oncology at Mt. Sinai Hospital, Peters Township National Honor Society and Student Council, and Plum Boro School District, as well as many individuals.
As a follow-up on Kurt Weiss, in 2009 he completed his residency in Orthopaedic Surgery and then served as a Fellow in Musculoskeletal Oncology at the University of Toronto. On August 1, 2010, Kurt began his new position as Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at UPMC. He operated at UPMC Shadyside and Children's Hospital, specializing in the research and treatment of cancer in and around the skeleton. His wish to play with the Notre Dame Marching Band at the Orange Bowl was granted in 1989. He is married and has two children.

Re: Nancy Pelosi sells us out
Really, the entire democratic party has been incrementally, pragmatically selling us out for decades. I wonder how Alan Grayson will respond and vote.
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
Nancy Pelosi Predicts 'Democrats Will Stick With The President' On Fiscal Cliff Deal
"Well, there is a lot of understandable resistance to the chained CPI idea," Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) told The Huffington Post in a phone interview. "I think people are upset with that provision, but they want to see the overall agreement. I think everyone wants to see the final package and then weigh in."
Really, the entire democratic party has been incrementally, pragmatically selling us out for decades. I wonder how Alan Grayson will respond and vote.
Pelosi says she "could live with the" chained CPI.
So could everyone if they had her wealth.
BTW, it seems we're on to Step 3 of <a http://www.alternet.org/glenn-greenwald-right-crippled-now-lets-make-sur...">6 Steps for Dems to Sell Out Their Base..
As in, lib/prog Dem states X will pass only over Dem's dead body, but the the ol' switcheroo comes and said Dem now says, with great sorrow, that Dems must support Dear Leader bcz R's are nasty and unyielding, yada, yada. Worked for public option, right?
I tried to find a figure for Pelosi's wealth. Like many of the rich, it is as hard to pin down as a white feather in a blizzard. Opensecrets estimated in 2010 there her minimum net wealth was just $6 million but the maximum for it was $196 million. Of the various politicians I looked at, none had such a wide discrepancy in the estimates. Googling produced various other figures: $25 million, $35 million, $58 million. I think the $6 million is bogus. The likelihood is her fortune is in the tens of millions and she will have a generous pension from her time in the House after she retires. Put simply, she is part of the 1%. She belongs to the classes of the rich and the elites. Social Security doesn't mean a damn thing to her. If she had only Social Security's average payment of $13,000/yr to live on, like half of seniors do, she would be manning the barricades and throwing paving stones. But she's set. She's got hers and fuck the rest of us.
This is completely unsurprising. The Democrats and the Republicans are both corporatist parties serving the interests of the
looters rich and powerful. It is never a question of if they are going to betray us, but how and how much. You have to remember that this is at least Obama's third effort to go after Social Security. Even if we are lucky enough to escape cuts in this round, Obama has 4 years. He will try again, and Democrats like Pelosi will be there to help him as they always are.
In this regard, we need to stop paying attention to the individuals: Pelosi said this (boo!) and Durbin said that (Yay!) and look at it in class terms. As a class, our rich and elites are out to get us, and loot us until there is nothing left. We would not even be having this debate now if it was any other way.
Here's what Joe Bageant had to say on the topic:
They make enough dough to at least fake it until they make it. Fifty-one of the 100 members of the US Senate are at the very least millionaires -- probably more than that, since multi-million million dollar residences and estates are exempt from the official tally. For instance in the House, Nancy Pelosi's net worth is either $13 million, or $92 million, depending upon who is counting. Why they bother to shave such large numbers is a mystery. Thirteen million, ninety two million, the difference is not gonna change our opinion of Nancy. Our opinion being that the broad is loaded. More than loaded. The comparatively poor members of Congress, like Barney Frank, are near millionaires. His publicly declared net worth is $976,000. For the life of me, I cannot see how they get by.
That vagueness has a lot to do with the standard forms they fill out for declaring their worth. They mostly break things down to an order of magnitude, as in "do you own $100,000 of this stock, or $1,000,000?" I looked into some Senator's wealth declaration once upon a time, and seeing that clarified things for me.
the financial disclosure forms only require broad ranges, not exact figures, for each source of income. you can see pelosi's financial disclosure forms here: http://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/candlook.php?CID=N00007360
rand paul, just because i was curious, but you can see the categories here: http://pfds.opensecrets.org/N00030836_2010.pdf

Sukicolor is active skincare + the addition of 100% pure mineral pigments. Suki doesn't do trends, they do pure skin care that works. The base for all Sukicolor products are derived from their existing facial care line delivering 100% pure botanicals and advanced active ingredients that work in tandem with your body's own biological process plus 100% pure mineral pigments that offer a physical block from the sun equal to SPF of 15.
These cream formulas work to remedy skin imperfections as they disguise leaving a natural look, never cakey and it won't melt. Suki is serious about their environment impact too – all Sukicolor products are packaged in either eco-friendly FSE certified paper, glass or aluminum compacts with real glass mirrors.
Do you know what's in your color cosmetics? Look at the packaging for your foundation, eye shadows, blushes and lip colors and you may be in for a nasty surprise: most cosmetic formulas contain long lists of chemicals with few or no ingredients that you may recognize as a naturally-occurring extract. These chemicals found in cosmetics can have a detrimental effect upon your skin, causing everything from acne blemishes to skin allergies. Even if you don't develop breakouts or rashes from chemically based cosmetics, the ingredients may still dry out your complexion or leave a residue behind on your skin.
The Suki Sukicolor collection is the alternative to chemical cosmetics. A full range of color cosmetics, the Suki Sukicolor range is clinically proven to improve the health of your skin, while offering the benefits of high quality, full coverage cosmetics. Completely free of synthetics, the formulas in the Suki Sukicolor lineup nourish and soothe your skin tissue and allow you to create a wide array of makeup looks for both day and night. Make the switch to natural makeup today!
Discover the cosmetics in the Suki Sukicolor collection and take steps to improve the appearance of your skin, not just cover it up! The cosmetics in the range contain only 100 percent natural, healing and nourishing ingredients.
Suki Tinted Active Moisturizer - Porcelain is a lightweight, moisturizing formula that is perfect for days when you want to even out your skin's tone, but don't want to wear foundation. The product also reduces the appearance of wrinkles through a collagen-boosting peptide blend and provides antioxidant protection throughout the day. Porcelain is the lightest of the three shades in the Tinted Active Moisturizer range.
Suki Correct Coverage Concealer - Butter Cream not only conceals areas of discoloration on the complexion, but it also contains ingredients that help to correct uneven skin tones. Salicylic acid in the formula helps to exfoliate discolored skin cells, while caffeine stimulates circulation to eliminate redness, inflammation and swelling of the skin tissue. Butter Cream is the lighter of the two shades in the concealer collection.
Suki Luscious Lips Berry Cream Trio contains two gorgeous lip colors: Winterberry Kiss and Sugarberry Pout. The original Suki Lip Repair Butter is also included in the kit. All three formulas contain jojoba seed oil, which moisturizes the skin tissue and prevents the lips from becoming dry and chapped. Vitamin E in the lip color protects the lips from oxidative cellular damage, while chamomile eliminates irritation. As an added benefit, the colors can also be used on the cheeks.

Well, you are certainly getting some rep from me. It's always nice to see the different WIP's you have went through to get where you are now. The handdrawn map (the first) looks very cool already I must say.
Anyway, it looks like you are onto something in that latest version. The style is very pleasing to the eye. What I don't like though is that some buildings are red and most buildings are almost pink. I don't care too much for the pink color and it doesn't seem to mix really well with the other colors. Otherwise a very cool map so far!
Oh, and I have done many cities and have also find it very hard to suggest different elevations. Most of the time I don't bother

Australian photojournalist Daniel Berehulak has won the 2014 Chris Hondros Fund Award and American photographer Preston Gannaway has been named finalist.
Berehulak will receive a $20,000 grant and Gannaway will receive a $5,000 grant to support their photography. Berehulak began his career working as a sports photographer and later focused on politics and news. He is probably best known for his work covering the Iraq war, the trial of Saddam Hussein, child labor in India and the return of Benazir Bhutto to Pakistan. Gannaway's work often focuses on families and subcultures. She was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography for her series covering Carolynne St. Pierre's terminal illness.
"Having known Chris, it's pretty overwhelming even being considered for it," Berehulak tells TIME. "I looked up to him kind of like an older brother — the first time I went to Iraq I emailed Chris. I always looked to him for advice."
The Getty Images and Chris Hondros Fund Award was established by Hondros's fiancée Christina Piaia to honor the photojournalist and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee who was killed on April 20, 2011 while on assignment in Misrata, Libya.
"Chris was not only an incredible journalist, but an incredible human being," Berehulak adds. "He worked with such an integrity and passion — showing the human side of conflict."
Berehulak aims to use the award to support a personal project. Previous recipients of the fund include Tomás Munita and Andrea Bruce.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (WUSA) -- A Woodbridge man was arrested the day after reportedly stealing a woman's cell phone, assaulting her and then trying to choke her.
According to police, they responded to a home in the 12500 block of Gordon Boulevard on Monday at approximately 8:07 p.m. for the report of a disorderly subject. A woman there told them that she got into an argument with Marcus Whitehead at his home. Then, he reportedly took her phone and assaulted her. During the assault he tried to choke her but she was able to get away from him. She called police from a neighbor's house.
Meanwhile, Whitehead fled the scene. Police obtained warrants against him and later found him on Tuesday near his home. He was arrested and charged with attempted strangulation, robbery, assault & battery and grand larceny from a person.
He is being held without bond and has a court date on March 8.
Police say the woman suffered minor injuries.

The 12th edition of the Auto Expo is all set to begin. For the first time, this mega automotive event will be organised over two venues. While the Components Show will be held at Pragati Maidan in Delhi from February 6-9, the Motor Show will take place at the new venue called the India Expo Mart in Greater Noida from February 7-11.
Organisers believe that such a step will ensure that the event is of global standards and is without the chaos and crowd mismanagement that marred previous shows. The overall display space this time is up by 30%.
Gallery: Cars to watch out for at Delhi Auto Expo 2014
Last year was a very tough year for the automobile industry in India on the whole with factors such as the slowdown in the economy, rising fuel costs, less disposable income and poor sentiment negatively affecting sales.
The Auto Expo 2014 is expected to infuse some amount of positive sentiment into the industry; this may just revive the auto industry to an extent. As many as 70 new vehicles will be unveiled at the Motor Show, with 26 global unveilings, of which 15 are cars. Alongside, there will be a special theme pavilion to promote hybrid and electric mobility.
Buying a used car? Check Prices
This is going to be the biggest show India has ever witnessed, and we are gearing up for comprehensive coverage. But before that, lets have a look at some of the hottest car unveilings.
Cars to watch out for:
* Maruti Suzuki Celerio: Expected to be the most popular launch of the year. It will introduce to India the Auto Gear Shift technology
* Datsun Go: The Datsun Go just might change the way small cars are viewed in India. It is among the largest small cars
* Honda new Jazz: The Jazz had a good design but poor pricing, so the car was taken off the shelves. Honda may not repeat the mistake
* Volkswagen Taigun: With the Taigun, Volkswagen will try not to repeat what Skoda did with the Yeti. It is VWs future SUV face
* Audi A3: Audi perhaps doesnt believe that India is ready for a luxury hatchback, thats why the A3 compact luxury sedan
* BMW 3 Series GT: It will be one of the most important unveilings by the Bavarian carmaker at the

|Tips offered for no-till farming
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Thinking about reducing the amount of tillage done, but not sure how to go about it?
Does spending less money on diesel fuel for farming sound appealing?
These questions and more will be addressed at the "No-till and Cover/Alternative Crops" workshop. The workshop will be Feb. 15 at the Community Center in Haxtun. Registration will begin at 9 a.m. The workshop will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lunch (meat and Lent options) will be provided. There is no registration fee.
Keith Berns and his brother farm south of Hastings, Neb. at Bladen, Neb. They have been 100 percent continuous no-till for over 12 years. They have looked closely at cover crop water use and its affect on the following crop. They are both excited and encouraged at the results. Berns will share what they have learned about residue management and moisture efficiency in cover crops. For more information about cover crops, visit their website: greencoverseed.com.
Scott Ravenkamp has been continuous crop no-till farming since 1999. He became 100 percent no-till in the last four to five years. He has just started trying cover/alternative crops and livestock grazing. Farming in the Hugo area with a 14-inch rainfall, he is willing to try anything that makes some sense. Ravenkamp will share why he chose no-till, how he transitioned to it and why he continues to no-till. He will also share his 2012 experience with cover/alternative crops. Ravenkamp is currently the president of the Colorado Conservation Tillage Association.
The ins and outs of alternative crops and no-till will be the focus of Mark Watson's discussion. Watson is a Nebraska no-till educator and long-time dryland and irrigated no-till farmer near Alliance, Neb. With the drought conditions, planting crops for forage instead of grain is worth considering, he said. Cropping options after irrigated winter wheat as another option for livestock feed will be explored. Watson will also share some planting equipment "tricks of the trade." For more information about Watson and no-till, visit panhandlenotill.org.
Atwood, Kan. farmer Dietrich Kastens will talk about the economics around no-till rotations. The Kastens family has built their farming operation based on no-till with limited fallow. On their website (kastensinc.com/farminformation), they state, "The amazing part … is that even though we are increasing cropping intensity (crops per years), our yields are actually going up substantially." Kastens will share practical considerations when adopting or managing a no-till system. (Translate: how not to repeat the same stupid mistakes.)
The workshop will close with a panel of Eastern Colorado no-till farmers. They will share their no-till experiences and answer questions.
This workshop is sure to stir up some interesting ideas. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
The Haxtun Conservation District, Sedgwick Conservation District, Yuma County Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service are sponsoring this workshop.
Holyoke Enterprise January 31, 2013

History majors learn skills that make them highly competitive in today's job market. Primarily, historians analyze artifacts from the past to derive lessons about the present. This process, however, is far more interesting than memorizing dates, names, and facts. Modern historians locate, collect, analyze, and synthesize sources; they assess data with a critical eye, and apply modern theories to make sense of information; they take the general and make it specific, and provide convincing and compelling arguments that influence future decisions.
These skills can be applied to academics, education, government, and law, but they are equally sought after in the private sector. The skillset of a historian - which includes outstanding written and verbal communication skills, information analysis, argumentation, and persuasion - prepares students to be successful in today's competitive marketplace.
