Veritas in Florianopolis
Program Overview
This program is offered in colloboration with Veritas Christian Study Abroad at the Universidad do Sul De Santa Catarina (UNISUL) in Florianopolis, Brazil. Florianopolis is located on the Island of Santa Catarina in the southern region of Brazil.
Students are required to take a Religion and Culture course and an International Missions/Service-learning practicum taught by local Veritas staff, and a beginning Portuguese language course. The remainder of the courses will be taken at UNISUL. For a sample list of courses go to courses. Scroll to the bottom to see a partial list of courses taught in English.
The student will fill out two applications:
• George Fox off-campus application form (obtained from the Center for Study Abroad; or downloaded here)
• Veritas Christian Study Abroad application (to be completed online here). An application fee must accompany your application.
* The Veritas Christian Study Abroad application should only be completed after being informed from the Director of Study Abroad that you are accepted for an off-campus study semester.
Students must be full-time undergraduates with junior or senior status, holding a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to apply. There is NO language requirement.
Because students remain enrolled at George Fox University while participating with Veritas, academic credit is awarded by George Fox University. Students will typically take 16 credit hours. Students will be required to attend two pre-departure meetings, complete an online course evaluation, and attend a re-entry meeting upon their return. Students must see the transfer credit specialist in the Registrars office BEFORE they begin their semester off-campus.
Students will live in homestays with Brazilian families.
The student pays George Fox's standard tuition, room and board, and student fees (an additional fee is required to attend some programs). Participants continue to receive financial aid, including scholarships, since they are officially George Fox students. Round trip airfare is additional.

Had a set of 4 installed on my Honda Accord. Tires were great at first. As time went on these tires became louder and louder. The tire shop said the silica compounds harden over time along with tread design make it up the noise. Good mid range price point replacement tire.

I got about 20K out of them before two developed bulges making them un-drivable. Replaced them but left the other two on. They are at about 3/4 to 1/2 tread and are getting very noisy. Likely going to have to replace them immediately as well. Very disappointed. I won't be buying Cooper again. By far the worst tires I have ever owned.

Just wondering whether parents on the board have decided to allow or forbid their children to "participate" in Obama's speech.

My son isn't school aged, way past it as a matter of fact, but I work for a public school. The Superintendent sent a letter home on Friday saying they were going to air it during school hours. Because our school has three middle school grades in it and we all follow different schedules, some of the kids will be in lunch when the address airs so they're recording it and showing it during the last period of the day. We weren't asked what we thought, just told to tune in. I won't even see it w/the kids b/c my kids will be in their special classes (art, music, computers) during that time.
In all honesty, I really don't know how I would feel about it if my son was school aged.
Why put off til tomorrow what you can put off until next week?

You mean the one where the President of the US is going to encourage kids to stay in school and pursue education as a way of bettering themselves or the one where he's going to hypnotize all the kids into being socialists?

Yes, I guess it is a matter of perception, after all, Lee. That was very, very funny!
I'm guessing, though, that the kids who will be paying attention to the message are the ones that don't need to. The ones that should be will probably be tuning out, if not physically, then mentally. Let's hope not. In this day and age, education has never been more important.

Here's our letter from the school about the speech:
As you know, the Fulton County School System focuses on instruction and teaching the state's new curriculum, the Georgia Performance Standards, so that students can achieve - and exceed - their personal and educational goals. Daily instructional time is a precious resource; therefore, schools are under no obligation to watch the hour-long address, either through the webcast or on CSPAN.
We will not be airing this broadcast at school. Families have the option of watching the president's remarks with their children outside of the school day, as the speech is expected to be available on both the White House (www.whitehouse.gov) and CSPAN (www.c-span.org) web sites after the broadcast.
I didn't even know anything about it until the letters came out. I think it can only do my kids good to hear the president say they should study hard.
I wonder what teachers think about it. It could be a good civics lesson, no matter what someones political views I would think.

This is the text of President Obama's speech for Tuesday's address to the school children. Seems pretty innocuous to me. I do think it is the President's rightful place to exhort our students to do the best they can. They are after all our future.

At my kids' school, the first grade teachers sent home note saying that they will be watching and gave the parents option of not giving permission.
The fifth grade teachers sent the note saying that children will not be watching because school time is too precious to use it for political agendas (!!!).
I think 5th graders are way more likely to understand the speech and benefit from it and I am kind of upset at the 5th grade teachers attitude, but there is nothing I can do (besides leting kids watch the speech at home)...

I think this is just another...extreme right wing effort, to discredit the President. And I'm sorry, but much of it has to do with the fear mongering journalism that is put out on Fox News. My 90yr. old father watches quite a bit and for a man who is so intelligent, but now very old... he has picked up some really scary ideas about this adminitstration just from watching regularly.
From what I have heard about the speech, the President is wishing the children luck in school, to study hard and to stay in school. What could be wrong with that?

Absolutely nothing is wrong with that, xina. As long as he doesn't make it too long, maybe enough kids will actually listen to it.

I heard the speech and thought it was quite motivational. I'm not a big Laura Bush fan but even she defended it.
I want to ask my principal where he lost his b@lls.

The whole point of the speech seems to be great, I doubt whether very many children will take it to heart, but if it makes a difference in even a few that's awesome. I don't like where Obama has to lie to try to relate though. His mom remarried when he was 4, to a man who worked for an Oil company as well as the Indonesian government, they did not have to struggle for money. When he was 8 he went to live with his maternal grandparents, both of which had good jobs. Him saying that he was raised by a single mom who had to struggle is a lie, unless you consider age 2 to 4 being totally raised, how many memories can he possibly have from those 2 years?
I think the speech was great, but in the future it would be nice if Obama could give a speech to a group without including gratuitous lies.

This month many of you will march for life, in Washington, D.C. and in your own towns and cities. The day will come when Roe v Wade will be overturned. The Court could say that the people can decide whether abortion should be legal in their own states, but the Court could also rule that the unborn child must be protected as a person under the 14th Amendment, just like the born must be protected. The Roe v Wade decision itself admits that if the unborn child can be shown to be a person, abortion cannot be legal at all. Reversal of this disastrous decision remains a key goal for which the Church and the pro-life movement continue to work and pray. As pro-life people march this month in various events, let's renew our commitment to that goal.
Please take a moment to check out my Birthday Wish on behalf of the cause Pray to End Abortion.

Wonderful "sucker" effect- they think they know the secret to what you are doing, but it turns out they are wrong!
Place a hat or other container on the table. Show a solid wooden die and a handsome box with two compartments and four doors. With all doors open, the die is placed into the left compartment. The doors are closed. The box is tilted to one side, and the audience can hear the die sliding into the right compartment. You tell them that the die has "disappeared" and open the left hand door to "prove" it. Of course, they tell you that the die was just slid over into the other compartment. So you close the door, tilt the box so the audience hears the die slide to the left compartment, and again declare that the die has "disappeared", opening the right side door this time. The audience tells you that the die has just slid over to the left. So this time, you open the right side AND the left side doors- the die has indeed vanished! And you produce the die from the hat that was sitting on your table all along!
Great effect that gets your audience "all worked up"!
This Sucker Die Box is nice and large, easily seen from stage. It is made of brightly painted wood, with a hard clearcoat finish for years and years of troublefree use.
You supply the hat, box or bag to put the die into.

He wanted "Close and Personal Friends" to have a lighter feeling than some of his other CDs.
"I guess I'm changing my focus a little bit because I've done all these other recordings that I consider serious that were, basically, me looking for dramatic compositions or arrangements," Proctor said during a phone call from a tour stop in Detroit, Mich. "With this one, I just decided to have a little more fun and to give myself a challenge."
The challenge was to take some of these songs, such as "Heard It Through the Grapevine," "For What It's Worth" and "Spooky," and arrange them into a single composition, called "It's Worth Being Spooky Through the Grapevine."
"The record is not made up of single songs, but medleys," Proctor explained. "I took a lot of the old music I grew up with and was influenced by in various ways and put them together in one form or another."
Proctor will play some of those songs at Riffs Acoustic Music on Saturday, Oct. 13.
Other rethreaded tunes on the CD include the island folk songs "Yellow Bird" and "Lemon Tree," which became "Colorful Birds in Citrus Groves" and the traditional blues song "Corrina Corrina" and Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready," which transformed nicely into "Corrina Gets Her People Ready.
"The charm (of the music), I hope, is the way I get from medley to medley and, of course, the recognition factor where people who are listening to the CD will hear the transition and then hear those familiar tunes," Proctor said. "I have to credit my studio engineer Bruce Kirby at Boho Digital Studios for the titles. He said listing all the songs with all the slashes would read like a computer report.
"He suggested I did something to put the titles together and the light bulb went off and I said, 'Yeah, that's a good thing to do," Proctor said.
The guitarist said he didn't want to make choosing the songs a chore.
"I had a lot of songs I wanted to use, but I tried to make it representative to what really influenced me," Proctor said. "In the past, when I do make a CD that is representative of myself, I make a little checklist where I know I can have a little of this and have so much of that and I'd better include some of these, but I didn't want it to be that way this time."
So, Proctor tuned to the AM-radio oldies stations to get some inspiration.
"I listened to the songs that I knew every word and every chord change that I remember that bonded me to those songs in the past," he said. "Songs like 'Spooky' came out of that."
At first, that song, which was a hit for the Classics IV and then covered by an array of artists including Dusty Springfield and the Atlanta Rhythm Section, wasn't on Proctor's radar.
"But I thought it was great and it had the same beat as 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine' and I wondered how those would work together," he said. "Then I added Stephen Stills' 'For What It's Worth' by Buffalo Springfield into the medley. I loved that tune and I've always loved Buffalo Springfield."
The decision to mix "Corrina Corrina" and "People Get Ready" came about in a different way.
"'Corrina' is kind of a funky, bluesy piece and most of the covers I've heard by Taj Mahal or Doc Watson were kind of slinky," Proctor said. "I heard the song years ago as a lament. I forgot whose cover that was, but it was really slow and that's how I wanted to play it."
Proctor came up with combining it with "People Get Ready" after he did a teaching workshop in Alaska.
"All the teachers played a concert together on the last night of the event and we were all struggling to find a piece we could end the show with," he said. "Someone suggested Curtis Mayfield's 'People Get Ready.'
"I had forgotten how pretty the song was and decided to add it to 'Corrina,'" Proctor said. "The method for the album was pretty intuitive and I tried not to make it logical, because if I did that, I'd find myself falling back into my same old forms."
Of course, Proctor, like most guitarists who started playing in the 1960s, was influenced by the Beatles.
So, he's got a piece called "A Mellow Sunshine Revolution Gets Better with Helpful Friends," which combines the Beatles' "Revolution," "Getting Better," "Good Day Sunshine" and "With a Little Help From My Friends" with Donovan's "Mellow Yellow."
There is also another track called "Rita's Sweet Home with Al and Obladi," that takes elements of the Beatles' "Lovely Rita" and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and adds some shots of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" with a dash of Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al."
"I know the album is a little Beatles heavy, but it was more like a stream of consciousness that led me to the songs," Proctor said. "There's a flow to them and I tried to make them fun."
The National Fingerstyle Champion released the CD a couple of months ago, after overcoming a handful of false starts and medical issues that set him back a few years.
"I'm grateful to have it out," Proctor said. "Starting back in June in 2010, I had one medical adventure after another that culminated in December, 2011, that prevented me from really sitting down to work on it."
Those ailments included a hip replacement, removal of a tumor and hand surgery.
"I started to do the project in April after I had completed all the rehabilitation and could play again," Proctor said. "This was also the first time I did everything, including the cover artwork, locally. And that shortened the time line as well. It's a little overdue."
In addition to the concert Saturday night, Proctor will hold a guitar workshop at Riffs in the afternoon.
"Last year I did a Riffs workshop and we talked about alternative tunings," the musician said. "If the same crowd shows up, we may continue with that. But I have to talk with (Riffs owner) Larry Hart to see what the workshop will cover.
"At any rate, it will be a nice day and night for music."
Fingerstyle Guitar Champion Chris Proctor will give a workshop and performance at Riffs Acoustic Music, 1205 Iron Horse Dr., on Saturday, Oct. 13. The workshop will begin at 3 p.m. and costs $40. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Admission is $20. The night is BYOB. For tickets call (435) 649-1940. For more information, visit www.riffspc.com or www.chrisproctor.com.

You can't really go wrong with this guy. He's handsome, talented, funny and his music is seriously good. And I mean good-as in well-written, rich with texture and a solid mixture of sounds.
Isaak first gained major fame in the late 80's with his hit, Wicked Game, and later, in 1995, his album Forever Blue (which was actually Isaak's fifth record) killed with seriously 13 perfect tracks. (Trust me. I played it over and over (and over) back in the day.)
Now it's 2010 of course, and Isaak still sounds good and his music is a pleasure to enjoy. A serious crowd packed last night's concert at Red Butte Garden, and everyone laughed, cheered and danced as Isaak moved from one well-rounded track to the next. Whether it was the slow, sweet guitar solo of We Lost Our Way (which nearly made me cry), the Cuban-rhythm inspired Take My Heart, or the slow dreamy waltz of Western Stars, Isaak sang them all with his full, clear voice. Sometimes he sounded a little Elvis-y, rockabilly and not like his Stockton, California roots. Other times Isaak was downright bluesy.
Whatever style he performed, Isaak had fun kidding around in his yellow suit-which he later swapped for his disco-ball version. I mean, his human disco-ball version of a suit. He was completely bedecked in reflective glass for his, ahem, sparkling finale.
In all, a fun enjoyable show. My one quip: The music was too loud and almost too much to bear without earplugs, which is ironic since the show was outside. They could have turned it down a smidge (or three).
PS: Rumor has it that Isaak is in the running for an American Idol judge spot. Personally, I think he'd be an excellent choice for the job. He's a genuine American idol himself.

Maine Scenes is a collection of scenic photos taken in and around Portland, Maine. It includes selections from all four seasons, seascapes, brilliant fall foliage, sunsets and summer. This coffee table book is the perfect gift for people who are missing Maine as well as the tourist who wants to remember his/her trip.
My love for photography began when I was about 13 years old and got a 110mm camera as a gift. My mother encouraged my efforts and said that I had a natural eye for the craft. By the time I entered high school I had saved enough pennies to buy a fully manual Minolta 35mm camera and handheld light meter. My high school had an excellent graphics tech school with a fully equipped darkroom and print shop. My hunger for improvement had me reading everything I could find and joining a local photo club. By my senior year (1981), I had shot several portraits, two weddings and did publicity shots for a couple local bands. In addition to shooting for the yearbook and school paper, I also had photos published in the Lewiston Sun Journal. In 1981 I began my journalism studies at the University of Maine in Orono. During my years at Orono I took every photojournalism course offered, enjoyed hours in the campus darkrooms and served a semester as Photo Editor for the Daily Maine Campus newspaper.

Full SubmissionGlobal Platform for Simplified Life Cycle Annalysis Relevance of the theme According to UNNEP SBCI, globally, buildings are responsible for 40% of annual energy consumption and up to 30% of all energy related greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. Collectively, this sector is responsible for one third of humanity?s resource consumption, including 12% of all fresh water use, and production of up to 40% of our solid waste. According to UNEP?s - Climate Neutral Network Personal and commercial transport consumes about 20% of the global energy supply, 80% of which comes from fossil fuels. Transport infrastructure contributes to social and economic development by enabling trade and providing opportunities for employment, education and leisure. This data is a global estimate. More specific and detailed information is needed to enable the sector to obtain information of the main impacts of each sector by country and by productive system. Proposal We propose the establishment of an international panel, bringing together companies, governments, academy and NGOs, to establish a Global Platform for Simplified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which prioritizes thee main challenges of the global socio-environmental agenda and can become a tool for decision making based on the sustainable development of the construction industry. The vision The promotion of sustainability requires that the decisions to purchase products consider the multiple environmental and social impacts throughout their life cycle. Today the amount of information of these impacts are very limited, expensive and of difficult access. In most developing countries information of local products are nonexistent. This lack of information affects all levels of decision making, as strategic plans at national and international levels, individual and community decisions, and even decisions including the international commercial trade. This reality severely limits the effective engagement of industry, commerce, public sector and consumers in general in promoting sustainability as proposed in Agenda 21. The context The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), promoted by UNEP for several decades, is already a standard tool too quantify the environmental impact of products. The integration of social impacts within the scope is being carried out. Its concept is well established and standardized. The tool integrates all environmental flows (inputs and outputs of materials in production processes), which allows calculating the environmental impacts and identify the most relevant to each product, as can fundament correct interventions in the process. However, with the proposed scope of the LCA, its Implementation process is expensive and complex because it requires the measurement of a large number of variables, many of which require complex equipment and highly specialized human resources that are unavailable in many regions and beyond the financial reach of the majority of economic agents. These facts have limited the spread of thee LCA. A few commercial databases are available in the international market. These data bases include mainly information from developed countries and even fewer companies that detail (environmental product declarations). Only a few countries have public and free databases. In general, the process to update the information is slow, what leads to a decision making based on outdated information. Most data is not detailed to the companies level ass its application is beyond most of their technical and economic reach. This lack of information eliminates the supplier?s choice based on environmental criteria. Consequently the selection based on price and technical performance remains predominant. This lack of information restricts competition based on sustainability and in many cases suppliers with unsustainable practices gain in market. Finally, the absence of information on company level environmental impacts is an obstacle to market promoted sustainability. The challenge It is therefore a priority to build a free public system open to all society that manages a minimum set of information which are consistent, verifiable and reliable, that is able to support decision of acquisition of products based on multiple criteria, based on simplified life cycle assessment - LCA s. This system should be developed, implemented and managed in a transparent way by bringing together a coalition of government, businesses and the third sector. The effectiveness of this system grows with the number of products and companies that take part on it. The chance of success grows as the system has a simple Implementation and simple maintenance which makes it feasible for small businesses in developing countries. The simplicity makes it easy to update the data, another key to its effectiveness. To have an easy adoption throughout various countries, its Implementation should be gradual, starting with basic resources data on a national scale evolving too cover a growing share of the products, and finally incorporating the results of individual companies. A number of aspects or impacts should be included gradually, allowing countries, companies and their customers to learn with the process. International trade level involvement demands standardized methodology, an interconnected data base and universal access. Although this type of support for a decision system is important too all sectors of the economy, it is particularly a priority for the construction sector, which accounts thee largest share of consumption of natural resources, waste generation, energy consumption and life quality. Analysis of environmental performance of products are still being made using methodologies (labels), based on criteria that promotes solutions considered of less impact and which were elected by their authors. Consequently these tools give inconsistent results when compared with each other and do not allow too minimize negative impacts on all projects. In markets where there are multiple labels available it is possible for market players to select the most convenient tool to reach the target. The adoption of labels produced in foreign countries with different realities reduces even more the effectiveness of these initiatives, and can lead to incorrect decisions because of the huge differences between socio environmental agenda between countries and regions. A simple comparison of the CO2 content in electricity which varies an order of magnitude between different countries expresses thee limit. Certification methodologies that are based on quantitative information of the impacts along the life cycle of products used in the construction, maintenance and operation off buildings are likely to provide consistent and relevant results. BIM tools can facilitate this analysis, once the data exists. A successful example of successes is the GHG Protocol. It has an approach to quantification impacts that has gained support of companies, eleven in developing countries. The method opens the possibility of using data that can be collected with relative ease, but also offers generic models to estimate the application, although with more conservative results. The methodology has a growing number of manuals and tools dedicated to specific production processes and adaptations for different countries, which facilitates its application. Having as a model the GHG Protocol Methodology, the development of a Simplified Methodology for Life Cycle Analysis is a viable alternative too: measure the environmental impact, make the data accessible and introduce a multiple environmental criteria decision as a habit for decision makers. Conclusion Therefore, we propose the establishment of an International Panel that congregates business, government, academy and NGOs, to establish a Global Platform for Assessment of Simplified Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), through a methodology that addresses the main challenges of the socio environmental global agenda and that to becomes a tool for decision making with a focus on sustainable development of the construction industry.

As my 29-year-old son was ticking off all the weddings he and his girlfriend would be attending in the coming 12 months, I blurted, "So when are you getting married?"
"Mom!!!" he said (I swear I could hear the exclamation marks of annoyance) before his sister chimed in, "Yeah, I'd like to know, too."
I was grateful that took the attention away from me, but I was in the wrong — overstepping parental bounds and sticking my nose where it did not belong. I know perfectly well that young adults hate it when their parents pressure them about marriage, so my only self-defense is that my mouth was working more quickly than my mind. I really do expect that when my son and his girlfriend have news that involves a wedding, my husband and I will be among the first 100 people to know.

Dances With Words
Over the past several years, I've been discreetly observing young adults (not my own) on the phone with their parents. I wanted to learn the slam-down-the-phone triggers so I could avoid them. Parents often say ridiculous and sometimes hurtful things. We forget that we're speaking to mature people (not that they always make it easy to remember). We condescend when maybe we should remember that what seems innocent or even playful to us is nails on a blackboard to them.
There are just certain things that parents should never say to their grown children. Ruth Nemzoff, resident scholar at Brandeis University and author of Don't Bite Your Tongue: How to Foster Rewarding Relationships With Your Adult Children, makes the point that parents transgress the bounds of how we should be talking even before our children grow up. "We fantasize that we can say anything we want to our kids, but the truth is, we never could," she argues. And, as both we and our kids age, our blurt-it-out tendencies seem to grow worse.
This list is meant to help you avoid uttering those unintentionally hurtful things I've heard parents say over the years, and to offer some less offensive alternatives. (And just for the record, I've said most of them myself.)

ZF-8874: Navigation Menu View Helper Output Without Whitespace
I've been working with Zend Navigation, but today I ran into a little problem with the way it adds whitespace around the LI. I wanted to display the LIs next to each other, and used the CSS display value inline-block. But because of the whitespace in the HTML, specifically the newline between the ending and opening LI, there is a gap between the LIs. There is an example of what I mean here: http://pawlikserver.com/tests/whitespaceTest.html
So, I was hoping it might be possible to add an option to disable output of the excess whitespace. For example FormatOutput, since that is already used in the Sitemap view helper.
If we have separators for list and list items, we can manipulate the output.
I think we also need to add a new option:
$indent = $this->getIndent(); // Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract
$innerIndent = $this->getInnerIndent; // Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Menu - NEW!
$indent . '
$indent . $innerIndent . 'foo';
$indent . $innerIndent . 'bar';
$indent . '';
Tasks: * Move {{$_formatOutput}}, {{getFormatOutput()}} and {{setFormatOutput()}} from {{Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_Sitemap}} to {{Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract}} * Add method {{setEOL}} and {{getEOL}} to {{Zend_View_Helper_Navigation_HelperAbstract}} (standard is {{self::EOL}} and is respects the option "formatOutput") * Change all concrete helpers to use {{getEOL}} instead of {{self::EOL}} * Complete rework of the use of indentation (is hard coded!)
Patch and unit tests added.
This is a good idea, but the patch doesn't apply.
I will add a new patch. The current patch is very old.
Fixed on trunk (25238) and release-1.12 (25239)

Service providers are seeking to use an all-encompassing IP network for premium services, resulting in the delivery of higher-margin, higher-value service offerings. Cisco® Service Control technology enhances existing network infrastructure with subscriber and application awareness. Cisco Service Control is comprised of a programmable network element that creates a service layer for broadband networks, allowing operators to identify subscribers, classify applications, guarantee service-level performance, and charge for multiple IP services on a single IP network without costly equipment upgrades.
Subscriber and Application Awareness Facilitates New Service Exchanges
The Importance of Service Control for Emerging Multimedia Services on Mobile Networks
• Granularly analyze how subscribers are using network resources and more effectively assess trends or evaluate the acceptance of new services or business models (refer to Enhancing Usage Analysis Using Cisco Service Control at: http://www.cisco.com/go/servicecontrol).
• Prioritize and guarantee performance for premium services such as VoIP, interactive gaming, or VoD.
• Transparently identify application flows requiring preferential treatment and signal other network elements to set up QoS for packet transport.
• Track service usage to create revenue-sharing opportunities between providers and content partners.
• Mitigate against security threats to the provider network and redirect infected subscribers to technical centers for resolution (refer to Providing Service Security with Cisco Service Control at: http://www.cisco.com/go/servicecontrol).
• Monitor quality and service delivery of premium services such as track voice or streaming traffic's jitter and packet-loss parameters.
• Charge for individual services or suites of services all individually metered and running on common transport network.
• Monitor and control VoIP traffic traversing an IP network, whether originating from the operator's own voice service or that of a nonfacility-based operator. This provides the means to not only track service quality, but also help ensure that adequate resources are available for these services.
• Monitor usage and quality of nonfacility services used by the subscriber base from off-net destinations.
Application-Level QoS: Performance Guarantees
• Detect application usage directly from the data stream, control bandwidth, and mark traffic for preferred treatment as it flows through the network.
• Set up QoS for specific application streams without requiring network integration with application servers. This greatly reduces implementation and operational costs.
• Perform stateful traffic classification to treat multiflow, multimedia application traffic in a single context, helping ensure suitable QoS for the entire application session.
• Go beyond classification and truly understand application semantics to make suitable network resources available for the needs of each application session and take appropriate action if not.
Accurate Analysis and Control of New Multimedia Traffic
Business Benefits
• Increase ARPU by customizing services to meet individual subscriber needs
• Effectively converge network deployments and operations
• Make a small incremental investment for existing networks and use overall network investment for new premium service delivery
• Reduce operating costs and capital investment by using a single network for multiple IP services
• Test and trial new offerings without additional investment, to better amortize infrastructure costs across a multitude of service offerings
• Meet the demands of latency- and jitter-sensitive applications such as VoIP and VoD
• Increase overall customer satisfaction and reduce turnover by offering truly differentiated or customized service offerings

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RachelC Beautiful piece! I'm very happy with this piece of art. The colors are beautiful and vibrant. There are mainly turquoises and golds, but there is also a bit of lime green added in which is perfect for the room we decorated. I hung this over a charcoal couch with turquoise and gold pillows and added the peacock chairs across from it. It looks lovely. December 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by morriskr Beautiful in my entry Even though this canvas is meant to hang horizontally, I bought this to hang vertically in my entry because of my entry shape. It is absolutely perfect and I'm so happy with the size and colors! February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by faithsilver Lovely Painting! I bought this painting during the art sale and I am in love with this painting. I hung it in my dining room and it really pulls my dining room furniture and decor together! The painting goes really well with my Sourav table, Linen Hayden chairs, and a blue overdyed rug. I took the advice of a prior comment and went to see the paintings in person. It is true that each painting is unique in its own way. The colors vary in shade as well as the strength in brush strokes. The painting that I purchased had a lighter brown for the mountains and a bolder blue/turquiose color for the water that matched my rug. I have absolutely no regrets in my purchase and look forward to purchasing more art pieces from World Market! February 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by skyking Great painting - very peaceful We hung this on the wall opposite our bed in the bedroom. The painting is very serene and pleasing to look at both going to bed and waking up. There were about 6 copies in the store, each one a bit different, so I recommend picking this up in the store if possible instead of buying online. January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by awillis88 Just What I Was Looking For! I wanted a statement painting for our master bedroom and this piece was perfect. The thickness of the canvas make the painting look much more expensive and custom than the actual price would suggest. This painting is very versatile and if I get tired of in the bedroom, it would be very easy to put it in a different part of the house to create a new look. January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TexasGrand A favorite! I have loved looking at this beautiful work of art every day since I hung it in my small cottage living room over my sofa this spring. It draws me into a peaceful but intriguing place of mystery and beauty. I'm putting it away for winter, but I'm sure I'll bring it back next spring. I've enjoyed many compliments on it from my guests. October 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by desgnrlinz Exquisite Art Piece I was pleasantly surprised when I received this art piece. It is beautiful. It has some real paint done over top of the canvas which makes it appear more expensive. Really nice piece!! April 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by kat04 Colors not exactly as described/shown. Great value for the size and quality. Description & picture misleading. Description claims gold tones and in the photo the colors look gold (slightly metallic). In person the tones are not gold at all - they are a light, yellowish beige. A little disappointed with the color but overall satisfied with the picture. January 30, 2013

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
At home or work, wash your hands often and properly. Teach your children to do the same at home, at school, and at daycare.
Wash your hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and make sure everyone in your family does too, especially children.
Wash your hands just before eating or preparing food and immediately after touching anything that might contaminate your hands. Your children should wash their hands before eating (even a snack), as well.
Hands should be washed often - more frequently than most people do. Because bacteria and other germs cannot be seen with the naked eye, they can be anywhere. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hand washing is especially important when:
Cleaning and disinfecting are two different things. Cleaning simply refers to using soap and water to remove dirt and most germs. Disinfecting, on the other hand, refers to cleaning solutions that contain ingredients that kill bacteria and other germs. Many surfaces look clean, but may be contaminated with germs.
The CDC recommends the following when cleaning and/or disinfecting:
*Always store cleaning solutions and other household chemicals in their original containers and out of children's reach.
The two most important household areas to clean and disinfect properly are the kitchen and the bathroom. In the kitchen, bacteria from raw food can contaminate surfaces and food preparation without proper cleaning can spread disease. Other important areas that require proper cleaning include children's changing tables and diaper pails.

I didn't become a mother until I was 43 years old. It is 18 years later, and I am not just a mother, but a widow. I never expected to be a mother, and I certainly never thought I'd be a widow. My husband Gregory, an architect, died of metastatic melanoma in 2007. For five years, I have been a single mother, raising Lili, in Weston, Conn.
And now, Lili has made her decision about which college to attend, and in a matter of days, she'll be gone. I will be truly alone, a widow, and an empty-nester. I am scared, but also relieved. We did it, Lili and I. We made it to the finish line. High school is over, and we both survived, intact, closer than ever. I wonder if she is as afraid as I am about our inevitable separating, but I don't ask. And she doesn't tell.
A confession: Lili is the most remarkable person I have ever known. She is a survivor, having been left on a cold street in Hefei, China, at just a few days old. She spent her first year in an orphanage, or Welfare Institute. When Gregory and I met her, she was healthy, strong, independent. Here's what she wrote in her college essay, "Two of Us":
"My name is Wei Xinfei, but I am Lili Clement. Or maybe it's the other way around. I am one person with two names, my identity and personality formed across two continents, in two countries; I was given birth by two families."
She goes on to describe her birth in China, her adoption, her father's death, and her two selves. She concludes with:
"I value what both of my births have given me. I've learned to love and to be loved, as well as care for others, as I was cared for. I know now that I am both Wei Xinfei and Lili Clement, and I'm proud of how far they've both carried me."
