Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - Jordan Baker finished with 15 points and seven
rebounds to lead the Pepperdine Wave to a 63-56 decision over the Hawaii
Warriors in a non-conference bout at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Lorne Jackson and Caleb Willis chipped in 11 points each for Pepperdine (6-3),
which picked up its second win in a row and sixth victory in its last seven
Christian Standhardinger notched his third double-double of the season for
Hawaii (4-3) with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Isaac Fotu contributed 12 points
and nine rebounds off the bench while Vander Joaquim produced 10 points and
grabbed eight boards.
Pepperdine took a 31-23 lead into the intermission after it knocked down 7-
of-14 attempts from beyond the arc in the first half. The Warriors shot just
28.6 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes.
The Wave stayed in front and led by as many as nine in the second half. Hawaii
was unable to rally back due to its struggles at the charity stripe, where it
converted only 9-of-20 attempts after the break.
The Warriors made only 33.3 percent of their field goal attempts in the
contest, which set a new season-low for the team that is now on a two-game
losing slide.

Comments about Educational Insights Nancy Bs Science Club® AquaScope™ and Underwater Wonders Activity Journal:
I received this to review all opinions are my own.
Rowan loves exploring the world around him. When we first started homeschooling it became clear he is a math and science nut. He loves hands on activities when it comes to learning. Now we don't live near the coat but still have water ways that give ton of ways to learn outside in our area.
Even with it being cold out it is still great to get them into their world around them. Even if it water. With the aquascope you can do just that. It comes with a journal for your child to write down everything from the temp. to what they saw.
Science journaling was something we started right away. I had him drawing what he saw before he was able to write. Now he is writing and the journal that comes with the aquascope has a great pre printed outline.
It made it much easier to come up with his scientific observations about what he saw living under the water. It has room for them to write. Great way to go back later on to have them talk about and research through books or online.
Aquascope is safe way for your child to explore any waterway without getting wet. Great for year around. It is also a great gift for those sea going kids. Think of all the wonders under the water to see.
Rowan loves the aquascope. It is easy to use light. Don't worry if the water is dark it comes with an led light to light up the water to see better. We were completely empressed with it. It is one tough toy too.
I recommend this for all family rather you are homeschooling or not.
Here is more on it:
The Big Idea

This underwater telescope for kids also comes with an activity journal packed with fun science experiments.

Comments about Educational Insights Nancy Bs Science Club® AquaScope™ and Underwater Wonders Activity Journal:
We recently took it to Florida with us when we went on vacation and we used it in the pool at the house and the pool at the beach house and had so much fun. I can't wait to take it to a pond where we can actually test out the light feature on it. We didn't follow the directions about making sure it stays at a certain level. It's not completely water proof and it filled up with water. Miles was upset and said that it was broken. I checked it out and couldn't see anything through it and then did everything I could do to get the water out of it. If you sort of plunge it open and shut the water will come out and then you can use it again. From that point on we have made sure that it doesn't take a swim on it's own in the water. It's a great educational tool when you take it to a lake ocean or pond because there you'll actually be able to see the ground and it's inhabitants, which is where the journal will come in handy.

When viewed alongside underground emcees content with whining about Hip Hop's supposed morbid state, Brother Ali has made a distinct mark with a much greater mission over the past decade. Using music as a form of therapy, he has carved a niche making fearless songs that are candid snapshots of his life, and as a healer he has applied Mos Def's infamous idea that the health of our culture reflects that of the people in it. His latest call to arms, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color is Ali's fifth full length release with steady attempts at elevating the masses.
With this effort appropriately centered around the dawn of the upcoming Presidential election, the conscious minded Brother Ali is determined to change society through his compositions without angrily shouting from a soapbox. This present phase of his career finds the Rhymesayers veteran in transition, creatively splitting from frequent producer Ant of Atmosphere (addressed along with deaths of loved ones, marriage woes, and similar struggles to transpire since 2009's Us on the soul baring "Stop the Press") as Jake One becomes the new foil for his forceful delivery. The pride of Seattle handles complete duties behind the boards, helping Brother Ali execute the same introspective and progressive vision he has come to be revered for while simultaneously updating his sound to give a platform to more recent experiences and ideas.
Rather a concerned citizen than a run of the mill enlightened rapper, most of the album finds Brother Ali waxing poetic on pivotal issues affecting the United States in this day and age. Where "Only Life I Know" empathizes with the tortured suffering of the economic crisis, the soulful "Work Everyday" is dedicated to the plight of laymen striving to make ends meet, topics barely considered by common entertainers. Likewise, "Mourning In America" draws a parallel between the country's harsh ghettos and overseas wars, as "Gather Round" is a riveting cry for civic action, both providing strong cases for his inclusion amongst the ranks of modern art's leaders.
Never shying away from speaking on personal matters, "All You Need" continues Brother Ali's series of relaying the grief brought on by his son's mother. While this a departure from the conceptual theme as is "Won More Hit" which compares recording industry practices to the slave trade, neither manage to take focus from the bigger picture. If one were to pick a weaker point, "Need A Knot" is a Southern throwaway too far removed from the Minneapolis spitter's core to easily digest on this otherwise relatable work. In a world that is on the verge of hopelessness, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color takes an inspiring and heartfelt stance, representing another triumph for the resilient and complex orator Brother Ali.

Select 2 of the same Mahjong tiles to remove them from the game. You can only select stones that have at least one side (left or right) free and that have no other tiles placed on top. The aim of the game is to clear the layout by pairing up all the tiles. You can match any pocket watch tiles with another, as this also applies to the watch tiles. You can increase the time by pairing up the tiles with time on it. The faster you play those tiles the more extra time you get. You can also slow down the timer or stop it to help you.

Hello Community!
I use my Zimbra Desktop with an extra IMAP-Account in the local Network. The IMAP-Account is provided by an NAS from the Company Synology.
I wanted to move my E-Mails from my Zimbra-Account to the IMAP-Account as a backup-system, where i can move my old mails to and stil has access to the mails BUT i realised, that when i create a new folder, the system will duplicate the folder and call it xy-1. When i use another pc or program to look for the imap-account i only see the right folders without the "-1" on the end.
When i now copy an email into one of the created folders, the email would be also duplicated by the system with every "Sync".
Do you have any information for me how to stop this?
PS: I tried to deactivate the function with the "grouping mails" because i read this everywhere, but the problem is still here.
Thanks for any information!

I am planning on deploying zimbra 7.x on Scientific Linux 6 (RHEL6 derivate). I would like to ask that if I install 7.1.1 beta for RHEL6, will it be possible to upgrade later without any problems to 7.1.2, which is supposed to support RHEL6 platform once it reaches stable status?
I would like also know if zimbra 7.1.1 beta for rhel6 is beta due to being packaged for yet unsupported platform? All the features of zimbra 7.1.1 are the same as zimbra 7.1.1 stable?
According to Zimbra Product Management Portal, the zimbra 7.1.2 got release date set for future. Can someone tell me how long will it take, before it is marked as stable (answer like 2 weeks/month etc is enough)?
Thanks for answers,

The military has now released the names of the New River Marines killed Wednesday after an Osprey crashed while training in Morocco.
Cpl. Robby A. Reyes and Cpl. Derek A. Kerns, both MV-22 crew chiefs with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261, Marine Aircraft Group 26, died as a result of their injuries.
The military says Reyes joined the Marine Corps from Los Angeles in December 2007 and was promoted to the rank of corporal in October 2010. His awards include the Global War on Terrorism Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation and a certificate of appreciation.
Kerns joined the Marine Corps from Fort Dix, N.J., in September 2008 and was promoted to the rank of corporal in December 2010. His awards include the Global War on Terrorism Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal and a certificate of appreciation.
The two other Marines injured have been medically evacuated for further treatment. The military is not releasing their names out of privacy for them and their families.
The cause of Wednesday's fatal crash is still under investigation. Officials with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune say the Osprey went down right after dropping off Marines at a training exercise.

Officials say the aircraft and Marines involved are part of the 24th MEU's aviation element, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron VMM-261 (Reinforced), based at New River.
According to a press release, the Osprey crashed during a routine flight after dropping off Marines at a training event. The release refers to the crash as a "mishap."
The casualties were immediately cared for by U.S. Navy medical personnel on the ground then evacuated using C-130 transport planes to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.
In addition to the two Marines killed, two others were seriously injured. There's no word at this time on their condition. The names of the four have not been released.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
"Being a Marine is inherently dangerous but this is a shock to all of us. Our primary focus right now is making sure our Marines and their families are taken care of. We send our prayers and sincere condolences to the families of these Marines and mourn with them through this tragic event," said Col. Frank Donovan, 24th MEU's commanding officer.
The 24th MEU deployed with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group in March. The training in Morocco was the first exercise in their eight-month deployment.
The Marine Corps confirms two Marines were killed and two severely injured Wednesday in a crash of an Osprey aircraft attached to Camp Lejeune during a training mission overseas.
The aircraft was attached to Camp Lejeune's 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, which includes the Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 out of Marine Corps Air Station New River. A Mmarine spokesman says the Osprey crashed in a military training area southwest of Agadir, Morocco, after taking off from the amphibious assault ship Iwo Jima.
The names of the two Marines killed and two injured have not been released yet, and the cause is still under investigation. The MEU is in Morocco supporting exercise African Lion, an annual 10-day joint exercise with Royal Moroccan Armed Forces.

With age comes insight into 'Fiddler' character
"Fiddler on the Roof"
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. April 4
WHERE: Clay Center
TICKETS: $37 and $61
INFO: 304-561-3570 or www.theclaycenter.org CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Robert Summers II plays Tevye in the national tour of "Fiddler on the Roof," coming to the Clay Center April 4. He first played the role when he was 23 and says he understands it more now that he's got life experience under his belt. There are few musicals with the longevity of "Fiddler on the Roof." First brought to the stage in 1964, the musical story of Tevye and his family set in the years just before the Russian Revolution ran on Broadway for 10 years and is still one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history.
It's also become a popular show for community and school theaters to perform because it's so well loved. That's in addition to international productions and national tours, like the one coming to the Clay Center April 4 in a Broadway in Charleston show.
Robert Summers II, who plays Tevye in the touring production of "Fiddler on the Roof," which comes to the Clay Center April 4 as part of Broadway in Charleston said the show endures because it resonates with just about everyone.
"The show is all about tradition and breaking from tradition," he said.
In one way or another, the struggle of the poor Jewish milkman and father to find his equilibrium when the traditions of his people are challenged is the story of most of us.
"I don't care who you are, it resonates. "It doesn't matter whether you're Jewish, Christian, Muslim or whatever. The play deals with family. Just about everyone has a family, and every family has its own set of traditions."
In Tevye's case, he struggles to balance his faith with the actions of his daughters, which push against the way their people have done things for generations. It's not a struggle with dogma, but a struggle to retain his identity in the face of change.
Summers has played Tevye several times but said there's always more to discover about the character.
"The first time I played Tevye, I was 23 years old and in college," he said. "I thought I understood him, but then again I didn't."
He understands him better now that he's in his mid-50s.
Summers thought actors need some mileage to really get under the skin of a character like Tevye. They needed to have lived a little to grasp the sort of man Tevye is.
Summers said he's lived a lot. He's struggled, faced lost and seen his fair share of change.
Summers got into professional acting while living in Wichita, Kan., in the late 1970s, right after he quit college. He worked in a dinner theater for about three years, but in the mid-1980s decided to enlist in the army, where he spent the next 12 1/2 years.
"I did three shows while I was in the army, but for 11 years, I had nothing," he said.
He missed acting, but the army was good to him. It broadened his horizons. He worked as a broadcast journalist and saw a lot of the world.
"I was in Germany, Haiti, Honduras, Kuwait -- all kinds of places."
In the late 1990s, he left the military and picked up his studies at the University of North Carolina-Pembroke, where he also got back into theater. It was first through student productions, and then later, he got a job with the Cape Fear Regional Theater in Fayetteville, N.C.
"That got my foot in the door," he said.
From there, Summers bounced back and forth between professional productions and student shows, supplementing his income with the usual actor day jobs. He waited tables. He sold cars.
"I delivered pizzas for a while," he said. "I even got robbed at gunpoint one time."
He also got divorced and earned his degree.
Summers said during the past several years he's been working in theater pretty steadily.
"I'm finally where I want to be, 30 years later," he said.
He added, "What is really appealing to me about a character like Tevye is that he goes through the highest highs and the lowest lows, but there's always that bit of enduring hope."
It's one of the reasons "Fiddler on the Roof" resonates.
"Also, Tevye is a bit of a smartass."

SpaRitual Manicure and Pedicure
I have to be honest. I next to never get my nails done mainly because I'm concerned with the toxic carcinogens that are in most nail polish. Years ago I used to get them done every two weeks. Once I started to dive into the safer side of cosmetics, I decided my nail appointments had to go.
Fast forward to last week when I decided to get a manicure and pedicure at the Ranch. Why? Well, in the past five years or so there's been a movement across all cosmetics to make them more safe, including products such as nail polish. One of the brands that are at the forefront of safe and eco-friendly nail polish is SpaRitual.
SpaRitual nail polishes are 100% Vegan and formulated without DBP, Toulene, Camphor, Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde resin.
Gabriela did my nails and she was such a delight. She was very gentle since I'm not used to getting my nails done anymore. The entire experience was very relaxing, with my favorite part being the SpaRitual scrub and massage which was amazing! Makes me wonder why I don't get this done more often.
With this treatment not only do you get to pick out your colors, but you also get to keep the nail polish. So needless to say, it took me some time, but I ended up going for a white polish for my feet and a light pink for my hands. When it came time for the manicure, Gabriela suggested a French manicure because of the colors I picked. I'm so glad she did because my nails turned out lovely! I was shocked when even my husband commented on how nice they looked.
A week later my nails are still in great shape. I may have to start doing this regularly again with my new SpaRitual polish!

Director's Hollywood debut with 'Stoker'
Park Chan-Wook is considered to be South Korea's most admired and popular filmmaker
After two decades of writing, directing and producing, Park Chan-Wook is considered to be South Korea's most admired and popular filmmaker. But it wasn't until his operatic revenge fantasy "Oldboy" dazzled audiences at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, ultimately nabbing the Grand Prix, that he wound up in Hollywood's cross hairs.
Speaking through his translator during a recent telephone interview, Director Park, as he is most commonly referred, said he received many offers to work in the United States after his triumphant Cannes appearance, yet it took nearly 10 years for him to come across the right project, an unsolicited screenplay by an unknown first-time screenwriter. That script was "Stoker," a psychological thriller about a teenage girl (Mia Wasikowska) who, after the sudden death of her father (Dermot Mulroney), discovers a strange connection with the mysterious uncle (Matthew Goode) she didn't know she had.
Park said "Stoker" was the standout of all the scripts that came his way. "It wasn't a dialogue-centric script, and there was a familiarity about it," he said. "If somebody came up to me, gave me a one-sentence log line and asked me to write a script, I would've pretty much written the same thing."
In Park's view, American films tend to rely more heavily on dialogue than his previous Korean work. The 49-year-old director is revered for his intense storytelling using vivid violence and meticulous and unusual framing — all qualities on display in "Oldboy," currently being adapted by director Spike Lee, and the two additional films ("Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" and "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance") that make up what is referred to as "The Vengeance Trilogy."
Appropriate for a film rife with buried secrets, the script for "Stoker" had its share of subterfuge. It took actor Wentworth Miller (TV's "Prison Break") eight years to write what would become his first screenplay, but when it came time to shop it around, he insisted his agent use a pen name, certain that a script by an actor wouldn't be taken seriously. The anonymous script quickly began to generate buzz, eventually making it on that year's "Black List" of the hottest available scripts in town. Once producer Ridley Scott's company picked it up, the script made its way into Park's appreciative hands.
Miller's script was the impetus to get Park to America, but it was Park himself who lured in some big-name talent to star in the film, including Nicole Kidman ("Rabbit Hole"), Wasikowska ("Jane Eyre") and Jacki Weaver ("Silver Linings Playbook"). Back home, Park regularly works with a troupe of actors and technical collaborators to bring his vision to the screen, but with a fresh cast and crew — not to mention a language barrier — Park knew he had some challenges to overcome. He did just that by retaining his longtime cinematographer, Chung-hoon Chung, relying on his trusted translator, Wonjo Jeong (who also received co-producer credit), and allowing for plenty of rehearsal time with his actors.
Park's stateside fans are undoubtedly eager to see the results, but they might be surprised by "Stoker's" lack of explicit bloodshed. Park points out that the film's violence is indeed quite restrained, often taking place off camera or from a very long distance. "When I'm making my films, one thing that I really take care with is the depiction of violence on screen," he explained. "I only use violence to show that it is something that makes people suffer in a very terrible way. If I look at the violence and feel that it is only there for cathartic effect, I would not depict it in such a way."

Mozilla just released a very nice tool to help bring web based applications to the desktop.
Mozilla Labs Blog » Blog Archive » Prism
Naturally, the first application I tested was Zimbra. I'm toying with the idea of migrating some of my end users who refuse to use the zimbra web app, simply because it's a webmail instance. There's a stigma that's associated with webmail and the assumption that it's not as powerful as Outlook.Prism is an application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop.
I tested Zimbra Desktop, but in my evaluation, it's not ready for my users yet. Prism, however was very fast and uncluttered. It allowed me to make use of Alt-Tab and it had the appearance of a stand alone application.

For Mexican Stuffed Peppers, stir in
½ cup sweet corn or 1 cup black beans

2 tsp. cilantro
Heat through and stuff pepper halves.
Cover the bottom of a large glass baking dish generously with
Prego Spaghetti Sauce, I used ½ jar of 3 Cheese for a 9X13 inch pan, perfect.
Arrange stuffed pepper halves in dish, cover tightly with foil and
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
Uncover, sprinkle with more cheese and bake 15 min. more.
Serve with sauce.
Terri's notes:
~ As you can see, these are fairly flexible, what will you add to suit your family's taste?
~ Will you use Red and Green peppers for Christmas, make them Packer Green and Gold, or fill a harvest blend of red, orange and yellow peppers?
~ Substitute packet of Taco mix for seasonings in the Mexican recipe.

I just looked at mine and wondered if there is an iron barrell bullet out there that does not leak.
parked and put up the bike, and heading off to another job, not going to be able to ride again until March...
Dude, that bites! There's always youtube clips to get the Enfield thump fix but it's just not the same.
Yes, there are Iron Barrel Bullets out there that don't leak.Where is yours leaking?

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The local housing market generally stays pretty active early in the Fall.
Thursday morning, Bill White, mortgage expert and VP of Real Estate Lending from NASA Federal Credit Union, joined us with some ideas for putting our best food forward.
Lending has tightened after the 2008 financial crisis. Some buyers are being required to put 20% down, and that's a lot of cash to have when you come into the process of buying a home. But there are other options out there. Credit unions may be the option that a lot of people might want to look at.
"Credit unions are an up and coming type of financial institution for mortgage home lending that a lot of people overlook initially. Credit unions versus banks or big banks especially are a little more member centric. Take a look at the guidelines. Maybe they're a little more lenient than you would see at a large institution," said White.
You can find mortgage products where you can have zero percent down, essentially a hundred percent financing still. White told us, "There are a limited number of programs out there like that. If you're fortunate to be a veteran, the Veterans Administration has a hundred percent financing. NASA term has 100% financing option on purchases also."
We've seen interest rates climbing the last couple of weeks. Everybody thought the fed was going to move to start ending the stimulus program. They chose not to Wednesday. Where do rates head from here?
According to White, "The good news is for the mortgage industry and for individuals looking to now get into the mortgage market. That's good news because we're not going to see another spike in interest rates. It was a little bit after surprise that they decided to hold off but the economy kind of dictates that they do that... because of that at least for the rest of this year, maybe going into the spring of next year should remain relatively constant to where they are now but we don't see them dropping significantly."
There is a debate whether or not Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be going away. If they do, what would happen to interest rates for mortgage buyers?
"There's still long process to go through that but in general if they go away and it's more privatized, you're going to see a half to three- quarters after percent increase just in general interest rates to compensate for the government a hundred percent backing," said White.

Inquiring mind
Q&A | University president Robert Sloan shows that faith and learning are not a zero sum game
Graduations approach, and we'll hear a lot of vaguely Christian sentiments in commencement speeches at once-Christian schools. Robert Sloan graduated in 1970 from Baylor University with a double major in psychology and religion, and later returned to Baylor as a professor. As the university's president from 1995 to 2005 he strove to make Baylor a Christian university rather than a secular look-alike, but many professors and influential alumni objected. Sloan resigned amid controversy and in 2006 became president of Houston Baptist University.
As a student, did you go to Baylor thinking it was a Christian college? Yes. I had my acceptance letter from the University of Texas, but I wanted to go to a place that I thought would put me in a better environment for nurturing my faith. It was not what I expected: I found Baylor to be more of a large public institution that had a religious department and required chapel.
What effect did your psychology courses have on you-and were any taught from a Christian perspective? They pushed me to the edge of my understanding of human nature, of what it means to be human. I didn't hear a Christian worldview in the psychology department.
Since you arrived as a professing believer, were you able to listen to the professors and see that there was a problem in what they were teaching? I certainly sensed that there was a huge conflict between what I had been taught growing up in a Baptist church. I reached a crisis of faith: I was pushed to a point of despair because if human beings are merely the result of biochemical forces, then Christianity is wrong.
Then you went to Princeton for graduate study . . . There I had a real crisis of faith. The professor in the first New Testament class I had critically analyzed the empty tomb narratives and concluded that the resurrection did not happen. Rather, the disciples had a crisis of faith: They went through despair, then felt better and reached into the ancient Near Eastern world to pick out the mythology of the dying and rising god-and that's how Christianity was created.
You believed the professor? I lost my confidence in the New Testament's historical reliability. People say you can hang on to the religious experience even when you suspect the historical material is weak, but that loss created despair for me.
Didn't you expect that from Princeton? You do but you don't. I didn't expect that emotionally.
How did you escape despair? I had a friend at an evangelical seminary who sent me some bibliographies. I began to read.
What books helped?
C.S. Lewis' Miracles. F.F. Bruce on the reliability of the New Testament documents.
Did many students lose their faith and not recover? I saw that often. Some tragic stories. It was in that matrix of deep, personal, spiritual crisis that I found my calling. I knew I wanted to be a professor. I ended up teaching at a seminary and then became a professor at Baylor. I got to go to my alma mater, a place that still remained a very mixed culture.
And eventually you became president. What were your goals? I wanted Baylor to be an academically rigorous place within the framework of a Christian worldview. We began to work hard to hire people of great academic reputation and visibility who were of a Christian sensibility. Hiring Christian people was the college's policy, but everyone would just wink and nod. They spoke up when I moved to enforce that, but I considered it my responsibility as president to enforce the policy. My critics said I would turn Baylor into a Bible college.
You created the Polanyi Center for the Study of Intelligent Design. That became controversial: Why? We brought a couple very fine scholars to be there, but immediately they encountered much opposition by the neo-Darwinians.
What objections were there to Intelligent Design at an ostensibly Christian university? I don't think there was a good objection. Critics said you're going to embarrass us professionally, everyone knows evolution is true, and who are these people but a bunch of seven-day creationists? The list went on. People threw up a thousand different issues. It is a shame that in academic life, which is supposed to be marked by open-ended inquiry, people-both left and right-are often dogmatic. Evolution was a dogma for some, almost like a religious faith that couldn't be questioned.
Looking back, what in your Baylor experience stands out to you? I made plenty of mistakes, I was very young and inexperienced as an administrator, but I don't regret the direction I wanted to facilitate for Baylor because I think it was Baylor's historic identity. The university has made great strides toward being a great place academically that is also faithful to its Christian heritage. I'm proud of the place.
Were you able to make any changes in the way Baylor teaches psychology? Yes and no. I decided my job was to attack the problem in the sphere of influence I had and that was first and foremost to make sure the university has outstanding deans, department chairs, and faculty members. Hiring is key: Provosts and deans who fail in hiring are failing the mission of the institution.
After 10 years, amid lots of controversy, you agreed to leave. There was a very small pocket of opposition-people who said that being in a university had nothing to do with faith. One faculty member very clearly said, "We have to get rid of the Baptist and religious stuff-there are bigger fish to fry."
Now that you're at Houston Baptist, what are your hopes and aspirations? We have a 12-year plan called the Ten Pillars. It rejects the idea that to be more academic you have to give up faith, as if faith and learning are a zero sum game. Students and faculty are willing to embrace the truth of Jesus Christ and then believe that we should not treat religious knowledge as a matter of personal, private and interior emotional value and opinion.
Do you think your plan for Baylor is possible, even if not at Baylor? The world needs Christian institutions that are not just small, regional, denominationally related institutions. We need a resurgence of great institutions of learning where a Christian worldview dominates. Many students go off to get doctorates but they get trained in places where there is a separationist view regarding faith and academics. Our aspiration at HBU is to be a comprehensive university with a clear core program but also doctoral programs. So yes, I think it's possible.
Why do Christian institutions drift from their religious roots? It's always a struggle, but if the board of directors gives up and doesn't hire the right people, that's how it happens.

USDA Declares Plymouth County As Drought Disaster Area
(Washington) -- The U-S Department of Agriculture has added four more Iowa counties to the drought disaster declaration list. Those counties include: Woodbury, Lyon, Sioux, and Plymouth. Farmers have the opportunity to qualify for disaster assistance, and low interest loans.
USDA To Issue First Crop Report on Friday
(Ames) -- Due to the severity of the summer drought, all eyes will be focused on the first initial crop production report to be issued Friday morning by the U-S Department of Agriculture. Farmers and commodity traders alike, are interested in knowing what will be the production yield numbers released by the USDA. Chad Hart is an agricultural economist with Iowa State University and he serves as the grain marketing specialist. Hart says analysists are expecting the corn yield to average 127 bushels per acre and the soybean yield to average 35 bushels per acre. He says any numbers that are not close to that prediction will significantly affect the grain market prices.
Listen to
Hart says export markets have been watching the drought very closely. He says South America may be able to benefit from the high commodity prices and possibly take over some of the United States' markets.
Listen to
The ISU ag economist says Friday's report will be gigantic since it is the first official objective look at this year's crop.
Plants and Animals Bred To Resist Drought
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Confronted with the hottest, driest summer in decades, the nation's farmers and crop scientists are looking ahead to the future heat waves and water shortages that are
expected to result from climate change.
They've concluded that it's too late to fight the shifting weather patterns. Instead, they are aiming to adapt with a new generation of hardier animals and plants specially engineered to
survive in intense heat with little rain.
In Texas, a rancher is breeding cattle with genes that trace to animals from Africa and India, where their ancestors developed tolerance to heat and drought.
In seed laboratories, researchers are developing corn with larger roots to gather more water. Someday, the plants may even be able to "resurrect" themselves after a long dry spell, recovering quickly when rain returns.
Le Mars Sets September 10 - 15 As City Clean Up Week
(Le Mars) -- The week of September 10th to the 15th has been declared by the city to be the next fall clean up offering amnesty to Le Mars residents from the landfill disposal cost. Le Mars residents can "throw away" up to 1000 pounds of household material with the disposal cost being picked up by the city. Items that can be tossed include furniture...construction and demolition that include scrap lumber...metal...and white goods. However, there is a $10 demanufacturing charge for each white goods item. White goods includes: air conditioners, microwaves, washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, fluorescent lights, hot water heaters, furnaces, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, and trash compactors.
Civil Rights Groups Act Against Iowa's Secretary of State
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Civil rights activists are seeking to block Iowa's Republican secretary of state from enacting rules to purge ineligible voters from Iowa's voter registration list and make it easier to report fraud.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the League of United Latin American Citizens filed a petition for injunction Wednesday to block Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz from enacting the rules, quietly issued July 20th.
The first would allow Schultz to remove voters from Iowa's registration database by comparing that list against government databases of foreign nationals. The second would allow persons to
report allegations of voter fraud through e-mail. The ACLU says state law requires a sworn statement.
The groups say Schultz is overstepping his authority and the rules could unfairly suppress voters. Schultz's spokesman had no comment.
Des Moines Botanical Gardens Receives Grant For Improvement
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A state panel has approved nearly $1 million for improvements to the botanical gardens in Des Moines.
The Vision Iowa board voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a $980,000 grant for the gardens. The money will go toward an $11.6 million renovation of the gardens, located along the Des Moines River near downtown.
A nonprofit group is assuming the botanical center's lease and overseeing plans for new garden features, an improved cafe and changes to its parking lot. That work should be completed in summer
The group reported in June that it had raised $10.1 million. Garden President Stephanie Jutila says fundraising will continue for additional improvements.
Iowa Grown Tomatoes Being Recalled For Salmonella
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa grower is recalling grape tomatoes distributed in stores in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan because they may contain salmonella.
Menno Beachy of Cresco, Iowa issued a recall on Wednesday for one pint containers of labeled Menno Beachy Certified Organic Grape Tomatoes.
Beachy says he sent tomatoes from his farm and a nearby farm to a food distributor in Minnesota. The distributor sent 15 cases of 12 one-pint containers of the affected tomatoes to stores in the
three states between July 26th and August 6th.
No illnesses have been reported.
Beachy says he became of aware of the health risk after the Minnesota Department of Agriculture collected a sample from the Minnesota distributor that was found to be contaminated.
Consumers should discard the tomatoes or return them to the store.
20 Month Old Baby Shot
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A 20-month-old child has been wounded in an accidental shooting in Des Moines.
The accident occurred about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Police say the gun had been taken by someone to a garage at a relative's home. The visitor was showing the home's resident how the gun worked when it went off.
The bullet tore through two walls before hitting the child, who was in the backyard. Police say the child's wound is not considered life-threatening.
No charges have been filed.

Metcalf scored from close and far, opening the game with a foul line jumper and a second-effort putback for Perkins County's first four points. Swing forward Josie Cox kept Maxwell close at 11-10 with a three-point play and a couple of free throws, but guards Brandie Ross and Jessi Hoffert's first half three pointers put the Lady Wildcats forever behind Perkins County. Michi Prante improved on Shania Metcalf's nine first quarter points with an eruption for 10 markers in the second quarter. Prante plunged through three from close range and drilled a shot from the fourth right lane hash to finish with 14 total. Metcalf resumed her dominance with eight third quarter points, rattling down a foul line jumper and a putback, too. "Perhaps more than anything else, I was pleased with the consistent scoring throughout all four quarters," Perkins County Head Coach Deanne Bishop said after the game. "The girls have been working very hard in recent practices at attacking the basket offensively and that hard work paid off in tonight's game." Ross continued to gain confidence in her ability to reach from downtown with her second three pointer of the game. Cox added two second quarter field goals and led Maxwell with nine points.

MaryLea, I LOVE your mail center!!! And It's not only a mail center, either. There's so much learning (disguised as fun- and isn't that the best learning?). I love the photo cards, the sample envelope, the copy words.... all such great ideas. Will definitely be using them for a Valentine's mail center for the girls, especially since both sets of grandparents are out of town (one lives in Singapore) and the other is in NC for the winter.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I have always done a letter writing unit in my second grade literacy. Certain stories lend themselves to friendly letters and one in particular is a good one for addresses. Each kid has to figure out what their home address is (most just need to learn the number) and then I teach them how to write it out. One of my secrets is an index card with lines slipped into an envelope. The final project is each kid has to write a letter to a classmate (random draw) and address the envelope, which I send. They love it!

@ Dawn -- You are such a good teacher! That sounds awesome. I remember the campus school doing a similar lesson in February and they would mail a valentine to their parents and come to the campus post office to hand cancel their stamped letters and send them on their way! : )

This section of our website is designed to make it easier for you to find and screen qualified plastic surgeons in Idaho.
Because selecting the best Idaho plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation is your top priority,
we suggest setting up consultations with more than one doctor so you can find the one who you connect with most.

U.S. Port Person of the Year champions inland waterways
Senator Carper is one of our country's leading public servants dedicated to advancing and growing the competitiveness of the nation's transportation system and the maritime industry.
October 07, 2011
The nation's inland waterways are a vital and "green" transportation resource that has only a handful of champions in Government. It is reassuring, then, to note that Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) will be honored in Wilmington, Del. today as the American Association of Port Authorities' (AAPA) "U.S. Port Person of the Year" at a special luncheon given by the Port of Wilmington Maritime Society.
AAPA President and CEO Kurt Nagle will present the award in recognition of Sen. Carper's many contributions toward improving the nation's transportation infrastructure, including its deep-draft navigation channels. The award also credits Sen. Carper for his work on enhancing U.S. port security and reducing harmful diesel emissions at seaports and other transportation facilities.
AAPA's Port Person of the Year award is presented to honor an individual or individuals whose outstanding work or service has made a significant contribution to public port authorities and/or maritime commerce in the Western Hemisphere. Nominees may be recognized for positive contributions with international impact or for benefits to ports within a country or region.
As the AAPA has noted, Senator Carper is one of our country's leading public servants dedicated to advancing and growing the competitiveness of the nation's transportation system and the maritime industry. His accomplishments in Congress, such as championing the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) of 2010, demonstrate that he's an unwavering advocate of the port industry, of port communities, and of the 13.3 million Americans whose jobs are linked to port activities. His advocacy is enabling seaports to operate safely and efficiently while creating and sustaining good-paying jobs.

15 Years Ago: Def Leppard Release 'Euphoria'
Once a band has made a point of evolving away from its signature sound, how do they go back without sounding like they're retreating? If such a feat is even possible, the keys might lie in the cheerfully bombastic strains of Def Leppard's seventh studio LP, 'Euphoria.'
Released in June of 1999, 'Euphoria' arrived on the heels of 1996's 'Slang,' an album that dialed back the heavily multi-tracked sound of the band's smash 'Pyromania,' 'Hysteria,' and 'Adrenalize' LPs in favor of a more experimental, stripped-down approach that didn't always sit well with fans. While 'Slang' charted respectably, breaking the Top 20 in the U.S. and reaching the Top 5 in Def Leppard's native U.K., it wasn't up to the world-dominating sales standards of its predecessors, and it left the band at a creative crossroads.
When singer Joe Elliott, guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, bassist Rick Savage, and drummer Rick Allen reconvened following the 'Slang' tour, they spent some time taking stock of where they stood after their massive rise and relative stumble — and the answers weren't necessarily easy to find.
"We didn't know what direction to go. We were sort of stuck somewhere between the Spice Girls and Oasis," laughed Collen. "I literally asked a few people in the business, as well as fans, 'What would you like to hear?' and everyone said unanimously, 'There is a huge void and it would be f—in' great if you sounded like Def Leppard.' So that is what we did. We went back and literally we sort of did another 'greatest hits.'"
Of course, returning to that old sound wasn't as simple as pressing a button. "It was funny, when we actually went to record some of this stuff — as soon as it started sounding like that, we were like, 'Wow!' It was almost like we forgot how to do that," continued Collen. "We tried to get away from it before because it got burned out. I mean, literally … God knows how many bands sounded like us … and what happens is that people just get fed up. That is what happens with all movements after a while, like the grunge thing became a parody of itself. I think throughout the '90s we were afraid of doing anything that sounded like Def Leppard up until this point."
"'Slang' was just something we'd been craving to do and we got it out of our system, but then we were happy to go back to making classic Def Leppard again," explained Elliott. "In 1996, I don't think we could have made 'Euphoria' — we would have been laughed off the face of the planet. I suppose people can say we've gone back to what we used to do, but I think it's more a case of nobody makes records like us, and if anybody's got the God-given right to do it, it's us."
As Def Leppard fans are well aware, their biggest records bore the production stamp of Robert John "Mutt" Lange, whose meticulous approach to sound and songwriting wasn't easily imitated. Although Lange hadn't been hands-on with a Leppard record since 'Hysteria,' he was lured back into the fold for a few songs on 'Euphoria,' helping his former proteges remember how they'd pieced together their greatest hits.
"It was a huge, huge education," said Allen of Lange's return to the fold. "It was like a refresher course to remind us how we used to do it. He's very creative, a great musician, a great singer. He really is the perfect person to work with."
"Going into the record there was never a conscious effort to say, 'Let's get Mutt involved," insisted Campbell. "It was just we'd gotten to the stage on one particular song where we'd gotten to a rut, and that went on for weeks and months; we couldn't get beyond were we where and with this tune, so we sent him out a tape, and he mailed the tape back and it had a lyric and a melody on the back, and from there it was just, 'Well, let's call and see if we can get him to come over for a weekend.' Which he did — a long weekend, very long, 'cause he works, you know, a 20-hour day or whatever it is."
Although Lange's involvement was restricted to a handful of songs, none of which he's credited with producing, Collen was quick to admit that the record's overall Lange-like sound was absolutely no accident. "It is a process of elimination; once you've got the direction, the song is either good or it's bad. It's a process of elimination," he said, explaining the band's recording technique. "So it's like, 'Is the song too slow? Does the vocal bridge? Is the chorus strong enough? Is the bridge strong enough?' It's just stuff like that…what we learned from Mutt. That is what we did in the past. I think on 'Slang' and on 'Retro Active' it was like, 'Okay, let's write a song and let's record it,' like most bands do. But on this album, we went back to the old method, if you like."
That method yielded effective results. "We were going to call the album 'Def Leppard,' because it sounds typically Def Leppard," said Collen. "I think that I was the one that suggested 'Euphoria,' then we all thought, 'Wow, this would have been a great title for 'Adrenalize,' 'cause we were looking for something that ended in 'ia' for 'Adrenalize,' but we couldn't think of one. Now, eight years later…"
Much as Collen's story might seem to indicate that the band members were pursuing a formula, he quickly made it clear that they didn't put as much thought into that kind of thing. "We didn't name it 'Euphoria' because it ended in 'ia' this time, but because we thought that it was a cool word, and it kinda summed up everything about it," he insisted. "The record company heard that we were toying around with 'Euphoria,' and they were like, 'This is great, we gotta use that!' So we said okay."
Still, no matter how eagerly 'Euphoria' revisited Def Leppard's glory years, or how effectively songs like the Top 40 hit single 'Promises' might have recaptured that classic sound, times had changed; much as the execs at their record company may have wanted another kajillion-selling album out of the band, it just wasn't going to happen in the late '90s. The groups of Lep's generation that weathered the decade intact had seen the grunge craze fade, only to give way to nu-metal and a rapidly multiplying crop of synth-fueled teen pop acts. In terms of crossover success, that big '80s rock sound was more or less permanently out of vogue.
Not that the band members seemed to care. "If somebody likes it, they're going to say, 'It's a return to form.' If they don't, they're going to say, 'It's a return to formula,'" shrugged Elliott. "Look, if people don't like it, then f— 'em! I really don't care. We like it, and we're not trying to tailor a record for anything other than something that makes us feel good."
"I think that we've made a damn fine record," he continued, "and I honestly believe that there are people out there that want to hear this kind of music again. We have come up with an album that is so not what is going on that it's either going to fall flat on its face or it's going to burst through the roof — hopefully, the latter."
Ultimately, 'Euphoria' ended up waving politely at the roof rather than bursting through it; its sales, while respectable, were a definite comedown from a decade previous, and in the end, the album served as a pivot point between Def Leppard's multi-platinum era and their second act as a sporadically recording veteran band. Still, once you've tasted the level of success they achieved in the '80s, life after MTV has its own rewards.
"We don't need to do it for the money," pointed out Elliott. "We do it because it's what we do, and why should we stop? We work well as a team, and we've never got on as well as we do now. It just gets better and better."

RFO Weight Management Program
A State-of-the-Art Weight Loss Facility
The RFO Weight Management Program has been in operation for over twenty-five years (originated in the mid-1970's by Morton H. Maxwell, MD). The RFO Program was one of the first university programs to perform research and clinically practice the use of very low calorie diets (VLCD) in the treatment of severe obesity. This program was among the first to utilize prescription appetite-suppressants as an integral component of obesity treatment.
What Constitutes A State-Of-The-Art Weight Loss Facility?
In the medical literature, obesity is referred to as a "multifactorial disorder". This means that there is no single cause for overweight or obesity. Rather, it is a combination of genetic, metabolic, psychosocial, environmental and behavioral factors. Therefore, no single scheme or technique for weight loss will be successful in all overweight individuals. Rather, a truly comprehensive program must include a variety of modalities and techniques. Patient care must be individualized, so that the techniques and resources most likely to be successful in any given patient are employed. A state-of-the-art program should also continually analyze its own results and success rates as well as those of others in order to modify and constantly improve its results. It must, of course, adhere to the first principle of the Hippocratic oath: "Above all do no harm."
Authorities in the field of obesity as well as governmental health agencies specify that state-of-the-art weight loss programs should include, in the minimum, a reduced caloric intake, physical activity promotion and a behavior modification component. Because of the high rate of recidivism and weight regain, a comprehensive program must also include an excellent long-term maintenance modality.
The RFO Program at the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition is one of the few facilities in the country fulfilling all of these criteria and therefore a state-of-the-art weight loss facility!
The Risk Factor Obesity (RFO) Program
All patients are required to complete an application and return it prior to the first clinic appointment.
View application information »
Receiving the applications in advance is essential in providing the various staff members with necessary patient medical and health history information to start patients on an individualized diet regimen on the initial visit.
The first clinic visit will be lengthy since the patient will undergo orientation to the program and medical professionals will be collecting:
- Anthropometrical data (height, weight, BIA/body composition)
- Biochemical data (blood drawn for laboratory tests)
- Clinical data (physical examination, blood pressure, EKG)
- Dietary data (weight history, current eating habits, food preferences)
The RFO program offers several dietary regimens from which to design and/or modify individualized weight loss choices. Patients may change regimens with the dietitian at any time depending upon individual goals and personal progress.

Tech at Night: Reid's bluff called on Lieberman-Collins, so bill falters. Google fined millions but is it enough?
Lieberman-Collins is in trouble! There is apparently some misinformation going around. I've seen people claiming that gun control is in the bill, when it's just an amendment possibly to be added, along with an anti-Obamacare amendment going around.

WASHINGTON – As the holidays near, weekend traffic patterns will become slightly less predictable as discretionary travel increases but highway volumes wane. The shopping mall parking lots will likely be congested, but delays on the major roads will be hit-or-miss.
Overnight construction on the roads will have a minimal impact on traffic and there will be fewer work zones on Metrorail system this weekend compared to last weekend. Traffic should move well through Landover Sunday afternoon as the Redskins will be away in Cleveland.
The ABC7 Weather Center is forecasting showers on Sunday, which means travel during the latter half of the weekend will likely be hindered by the wet weather. Last Sunday, the fog and mist contributed to numerous accidents on the Beltway in Maryland.
Although the Express Lanes on the Beltway have been open for a few weeks, there are still unfinished portions of the project that will continue to block various ramps during off-peak hours. On Friday night, the ramps from westbound I-66, Route 50/Arlington Boulevard, and Route 236/Little River Turnpike to the outer loop of the Beltway will be closed. The ramp from the outer loop to eastbound Route 236 will also be closed. Route 50 will be narrowed to one lane each way under the Beltway for bridge lighting.
Early Saturday morning, VDOT plans to stop southbound traffic on I-95 near Fairfax County Parkway (exit 166) between 3 and 4 a.m. to reposition a large piece of construction equipment. The I-395/I-95 express lanes will be closed overnight for the I-95 Express Lanes project.
In McLean, Route 123 southbound will be closed at Great Falls Street early Saturday morning for Silver Line rail work.
Track work will affect Metro customers traveling on portions of the Red, Orange, Green and Yellow lines.
Red Line
The Red Line will remain open this weekend, but trains will share tracks between Friendship Heights and Van Ness and between Takoma and Forest Glen.
Green Line
Free shuttle buses will replace trains between Archives and Waterfront for the second weekend in a row. There will be no Green Line service at L'enfant Plaza.
Yellow Line
Trains will not run between the Fort Totton and Pentagon stations. Customers should take the Blue Line between Virginia and downtown Washington.
Orange Line
Trains will single-track between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly and through Falls Church.
Other events
The big weekend races, including the Jolly Fat Man's Run in Bethesda and Atlantic Parking-Koa Extreme 5 Mile Trail Run in Gaithersburg, will remain off the major roads.

We are going to have this again! I added a can of Ro-tel and extra cilantro. Maybe next time I will try this recipe with brown rice and no chicken - for a meatless Monday.
Pretty good recipe. I read some of the reviews before I made this, so I did marinate the chicken in lime juice and chili powder before I put the dish together. I also used chicken broth in place of the water. I divided it up between two dishes and froze one. I was pleased with the results and hope the one I froze turns out.

Born on Dec. 12, 1948 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, Wilkinson moved with his family to Canada when he was four years of age. Instead of finding the better life he sought, however, his father wound up working as an aluminum smelter for six years before returning the family to England. Once settled in Cornwell, his parents ran a pub while the young Wilkinson wandered aimlessly through school. But after his father died, his mother relocated the family back to Yorkshire, where Wilkinson met Molly Sawdon, headmistress of King James' Grammar School at Knaresborough.

A year of change
Change is inescapable. Whether you view change as good or bad, it's how you respond to it that matters.
You can see this change in the global economy, which is constantly shifting. While there are some bright spots, the financial crisis continues to cast a long shadow, and the recovery has been far from uniform.
You can see this change in regulation, where government is taking a bigger role in business and people's lives. Regulatory change is re-shaping industries and increasing the complexity of operating across borders. We've seen this in the accounting profession with the passage of the EU audit legislation, which will have a tremendous impact on many of our clients.
And you can see this change in technology, where more and more devices are connected to the internet and nearly everything we do generates vast amounts of data that can be mined for insight. The businesses that can use that data effectively are becoming more efficient, innovative and responsive to the market.
In this environment of great change we believe that our purpose — building a better working world — is particularly relevant and helps ensure that change is positive. Our purpose is present in everything we do from our services that build trust and confidence in the capital markets to our efforts to develop outstanding leaders. It gives us energy and inspires our people to strive to achieve the best.
For our clients, who depend on us to bring them insight, technical excellence is the minimum.
Our commitment to building a better working world encompasses our people, our clients and the broader world.
For our people, we want the benefit of working at EY to last a lifetime. We want to help them reach their personal and professional goals. And we support them by investing in their —learning and development, providing a flexible working environment and the opportunity to work in diverse, high-performing teams.
In the last year, our firms hired more than 60,000 people and welcomed our largest-ever group of new partners. This reflects the strength of the people we have coming through the ranks at EY and our confidence in the future growth of our organization.
For our clients, who depend on us to bring them insight, technical excellence is the minimum. At EY, we aim much higher — we're committed to exceptional client service delivered by highest-performing teams. By consistently providing it, we help our clients improve their businesses and realize sustainable economic growth.
For the broader world, we believe that in a better working world trust increases, capital flows smoothly, investors make informed decisions, businesses grow sustainably, employment rises, consumers spend, governments invest in their citizens and communities flourish. To play our part we are dedicated to delivering high-quality audits with objectivity and professional skepticism, as well as helping our clients to meet their complex tax obligations, improve their performance and better manage their capital.
In a changing world you need to adapt or be left behind. At EY, we're adapting, and this year we have been through remarkable changes ourselves. We're continuing to strengthen and better integrate our global organization.
We're investing in our future including US$1.2b in technology, US$400m in our audit transformation program to enhance the quality and value of our audits, and US$500m in analytics.
We have a long history that stretches back more than 150 years, and during that time we've seen a lot of change. And what has defined our organization is our ability to adapt, while remaining true to ourselves, our values and our purpose. This is what will continue to define us.
