When we meet
There are 4 services at St Ebbe's at 9.45am, 4.30pm, 6.30pm and during Oxford University term times 11.45am. Children's clubs run during the 9.45am and 4.30pm services. Details of sermon titles and speakers for the coming months are available here. There is also a congregation called OAK (Oxford Asian Koinonia) which meets at St Columba's Church.
The broadest cross-section of our church family makes up the 9.45 congregation from the very young to the not-so-young via those somewhere in between!
A creche for under 2s, Woddlers for pre-schoolers (2-5s), Sunday Club for 5-10s, and Pathfinders for 11-14s run during this service making it popular with those who have children.
All are very welcome, and we encourage people to stay on after the service for tea and coffee.
For more information please contact the congregation leader Pete Wilkinson
Many students come to the 11.45 service, but all ages and stages are welcome!
It only takes place during the university terms and is a mix of vibrant praise, life-changing Bible teaching and loving community.
Each week we have an informal lunch together (only £3) after the service during which there is a chance to catch up with one another and occasionally to have some input from the front, including grilling the speaker about that morning's sermon! Come along and see if you want to make the 11.45 your home.
If you want to find out more or introduce yourself, get in touch with the congregation leader James Fletcher
The City Congregation is our newest congregation, and we aim to reach people who live in our city with the good news of Jesus.
The parish of St Ebbe's includes one of the most deprived council estates in Oxfordshire, two hostels which help get people off the streets and beat their addictions, and many people sleeping rough. The City Congregation has the primary aim of reaching such people in our city with the love and good news of Jesus.
For more information do get in touch with congregation leader, Matt Pope
The 6.30 congregation appeals to a wide range of people, including 20s and 30s, teenagers, students, older folk and internationals. All are warmly welcome to the service and invited to stay for tea and coffee afterwards. At least once a term we organise a variety of 'link up' events both to welcome newcomers and enable regulars to get to know each other better – details will be announced at the services.
We're really keen to welcome newcomers into our church family so if you're thinking of joining us at the 6.30 do feel free to get in touch with our congregation leader, Vaughan Roberts
All those from Asia whose first language is not English are warmly welcome to a service every Sunday at 3.30pm in St Columba's Church, Alfred Street, during university terms. For more information, please contact Han Hwang

Burn Notice has been renewed for a 4th Season.
Once we get through the rest of November sweeps, and the bleakness of the holiday-season TV landscape, it's time for midseason replacements.
Networks are starting to announce the premiere dates for new and returning series.
Here's what we know so far:
On USA Network, "Burn Notice" returns for the back half of its third season on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 9 p.m.
It will be followed by new series "White Collar," which moves to a new night and timeslot at 10 p.m. The freshman series ends its current batch of fresh episodes on Friday, Dec. 4.
Also on USA, "Psych" returns on Friday, Jan. 29, at 10 p.m. with the back half of its fourth season.
Over at ABC Family, original dramas "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and "Make It or Break It" return on Monday, Jan. 4, at 8 and 9 p.m., respectively.
"American Teenager" will complete its second season with 12 new episodes, while "Make It" concludes its freshman season with 10 new episodes.
Both had been scheduled to return on Jan. 11, but ABC Family moved them up a week.
And as of Jan. 25, when "Greek" returns at 10 p.m., ABC Family will create its first three-hour block of original programming on Monday nights. "Greek" will have 10 fresh episodes to round out its third season.
Finally, WE tv's "Little Miss Perfect" returns for its second season on Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 10 p.m. The hourlong reality series explores the ins and outs of the junior beauty pageant world, offering revealing behind-the-scenes footage of the families, contestants and professional experts who participate.

TALLAHASSEE — Better known as a spy who uses special ops training to help people, Jeffrey Donovan played a lobbyist for the TV news cameras Tuesday to highlight the economic impact his show brings to South Florida.
The star of USA Network's top-rated Burn Notice, Donovan was at the Capitol to lobby for more state film incentives and to help announce the new film, entertainment and television legislative caucus.
Flanked by about a dozen lawmakers, Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink and State Film Commissioner Lucia Fishburne on the Fourth Floor Rotunda, Donovan relayed one example of how his show pumps up South Florida's economy.
While filming an episode in the second season, the film crew befriended a flower vendor near Hialeah. The next season, a writer for the show crafted an episode around a similar flower vendor and the show paid $10,000 to rent out his shop for a day.
"The impact locally was, for this gentleman, enormous," Donovan said.
Fishburne said Burn Notice has paid more than $28.4 million in Florida wages and is responsible for booking more than 7,000 hotel room nights.
Of the $10.8 million incentive budget in the current fiscal year, the TV show will receive $5.2 million.
"It has truly become an incentives game," Fishburne said.
State Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda, D-Tallahassee, formed the new film industry caucus, which counts 20 lawmakers as members.
"The purpose of the caucus is to put a spotlight on the industry so we can regain our competitive edge," she said.
Florida has slipped from third in the country behind California and New York to out of the top 10 in terms of the number of productions shot in the state.

I know a lot of you don't know about the video game this is based on, but to understand the plot of the series you must understand the game.
Since the manga is over, I won't put spoilers tags so be warned!
Explaining Heart no Kuni no Alice
A little general knowledge
First of all, Heart no Kuni no Alice is an otome game made by QuinRose. For those who don't know what otome game means, it's a girl dating game. The manga is an adaptation of this video game.
There are two sequels to Heart. Clover and Joker (There's also a remake of the first one; Anniversary)
Sadly, those games are not available in English. There's no American version nor English patch available on internet. If you want to play, you have to understand Japanese or play with some translating tools (like I did).
Second, Hoshino Soumei screwed a lot of things in her interpretation in this manga. The character doesn't even have their rightful personalities, and the ending has nothing to do with any of the game routes... The manga dropped a lot of important things and only put some hints here and there, creating a lot more confusion than needed.
People who played the video game will tell you, the manga is far from doing justice to the original story. That's why my explanations will be based mostly on the video game.
The different mangas
Who the hell is Joker?
There are some people who are confused about the bonus chapter that is in volume 4. That's a bonus and it was made to promote the 3rd game. This chapter has no relation with the rest of the manga we read here except that's it's from the same series of video games. That's why we see Pierce, Gray and Joker in those pages but they are not mentioned ever again here. This bonus can also be a teaser for an upcoming manga, but I'll elaborate on it later.
A sequel for Heart manga?
Some of you heard about the few volumes called Clover no Kuni no Alice but those volume are not sequels for the manga. I know that's confusing since the sequel of the video game is called Clover but you have to distinguish the games, the mangas and the relations between them.
Those volumes are "one shot" based on the game Clover and are not sequels of the manga. They each contain story of different Alice pairings. They are made by various artist and, if I'm right, QuinRose decide of the next pairing based on popularity polls.
There is a new Alice manga that is planned but that's not a direct sequel either. It'll be based on Joker no Kuni. So you can think of the bonus chapter in volume 4 as a teaser for this. I read somewhere that the mangaka won't be Hoshino Soumei, so expect some changes in the drawing style and another kind of storytelling
Someone asked in another thread if another manga called : "Heart no Kuni no Alice - My Fanatic Rabbit" is a sequel for the manga here. No. This volume is just like the Clover no Kuni ones; it's a one-shot.
Just so you know, as of now, there is NO SEQUEL to the manga we read here.
[End of EDIT]
Now, onto the story!
This part of my post will mostly be based on what happened in the video game Heart no Kuni, because in contrary with the manga, the game actually gives explanations.
What happened before the game
Alice and her family (mostly her sister)
Alice loved her sister Lorinna and she spent Sunday afternoons with her. When their mom died, their father became a workaholic to forget his suffering. Their little sister (Edith?) blamed Alice for not crying at the funerals. So Alice was only comforted by her big sis. However, Lorinna was ill.
When Alice finishes her college studies, she wants to move from the familial house. She had an arguments with Lorinna because of that. When Lorinna died of her illness, Alice blamed herself because of their argument that caused Lorrina condition to get worst. After her sister death, Alice suffered a lot but kept on cherishing the Sunday afternoons she spent with her.
Alice love life
Alice was in love with her "teacher" (or tutor) that is the man who share the same face as Blood. This man was in love with Lorinna but dated Alice anyway.
When Lorinna died, this man could not bear the pain so he left Alice and focused on is work. This reminded her so much of her father when her mom died that she couldn't restrain him from leaving. For her this form of love is pure love.
Little precision about Lorinna's death.
Some of you thought Lorinna was killed by Joker. That wrong! The people who guessed that saw some CGs from Joker no Kuni (or the opening for this video game) in which we see Joker pointing a gun at Lorinna and shooting, but that's only a set up made by him to play with Alice's mind (I don't know the exact reason since I didn't play this game). That's an illusion.
In short: Alice graduated from college, she is in her mid twenties, her sister is dead and the man she loved left her.
Then why is Alice younger than what she really is in the game/manga?
Because at the very beginning of the video game/manga she is dreaming of her younger self who is spending time with her beloved sister.
What is "Wonderland" and why Alice got there
Wonderland is not a dream world like Alice think it is. That's a parallel world to the real one. Its existence, its rules and its mechanisms exist outside of Alice's imagination.
Why is she persuaded that's a dream?
First, to enter "Wonderland" she has to be asleep (and therefore dreaming). Nightmare could only make a connection between the two world for her when she is dreaming.
She thinks "Wonderland" is all a dream because Nightmare told her that, so she could be more comfortable. The others (example : Julius) just went along with it.
Why is she there?
As to the reason Peter brought her in "Wonderland", it was because he was concerned about her happiness.
She was suffering because of the death of her sister so he wanted her to forget the reality and be just happy. This also explain why she must not remember to stay in the Heart country. If she comes to remember what happened in the real world, her sense of responsibility would force her to leave, just like she did at the end of the manga, but with no way to come back.
Is there a different "Wonderland" for everyone?
No. Like I said, this world exists on it's own, it's not a part of Alice's imagination and it was not created solely for the purpose of her exiting reality. Foreigner are rare, but it never said that there can't be more than one at the same time. If someone else entered the Heart country, every role holder would be the same, only the perception the foreigner have of them would be different. In short, there is only one country of Heart that stay the same whoever gets in.
About the role holders and "Wonderland" inhabitants
The role holders are all a "face" on the clock. The each represent an hour. It's not said exactly who is what but we know for sure they represent hours.
The faceless too represent time, but minor amount like minutes or seconds. That's why they have no face, because they are less significant than the role holders.
Everyone is disposable because time is a cycle. The clocks for hearts that can be repaired is a representation of passing time. The same "hour" can happen twice and be different, just like the people living in "Wonderland" can have their clock repaired and their role replaced.
In Peter's case, in the video game true ending, it is said he represents an hour in the time Alice spent with her sister. People often makes the mistake to generalize and refer to him only as "Sunday afternoon" (heck, even I did it XD) but we do so only because QuinRose never said exactly what hour he is. Moreover, Alice never said exactly which hour she spent with her sister.
To clear things up even more: let's say he represent 3 o'clock, that means he represent every 3 o'clock, AM or PM, in every day of the week. This is not only bound to Alice's 3 o'clock but every 3 o'clock of everyone in the world.
His obsession with Alice can be explained because she is always thinking about this precise portion of time. So when Peter said to Alice that she likes him he wasn't totally wrong. She love the time he represents. Alice reminiscing her time with her sister is also what links her with Peter and what brought him to love her and care for her happiness.
If Alice didn't imagine all this, why does blood have the exact same face as her ex?
It's Nightmare who decided of this. He wanted to give her an incentive to stay and he thought to give it to Blood because his personality is very different from her ex. He did that to expand the chances of her staying and for his own amusement at the same time.
Nightmare only has the power to twist how Alice sees the role holders faces. He didn't change Blood's face, but only how Alice sees it. Moreover, he can't change the personality nor the behaviour of the other people. Keep in mind that all role holders are nothing more than players. If he had this kind of powers, he would be some kind of game master, but we don't even know if there is one.
I dug through the older threads and found a little gold mine of information.

Well, I'm not going to be guest apeaker at this year's AARP convention.
My column today opposing President Obama's plan to send a $250 check to Social Security recipients has earned the wrath of many seniors.
Here are some comments. (I've commented on some of them)
"The $250 to seniors in an election year is pandering, not socialism." (Panderism)
"You're a complete idiot. I can tell you never defended your country. You have a sissy job. Grow up and be a real man and serve your country instead of crying." (Sissy job? Carpal tunnel! High blood pressure! Senior readers!)
"I hope you get old and feeble. Why don't you attack governmentt workers? You're thinking is abominable." (I attack government workers all the time. They hate me more than you do)
"This is the most obnixious, illiterate, uneducated article I have ever read from you." (And that's saying something)
"They will take the money saved by not giving seniors $250 and give it to the government and let them waste it some other way." (Yes)
Let's give all the politicians, congress, fireman, police, and school teachers a yearly raise and take it from the seniors. (The public employee unions would go along with that)
"The Orlando Sentinel is not widely known as one of America's better newspapers – you and your slanted, biased views, fit right in. You very obviously know absolutely nothing about what it is like to be a senior." (have you taken a good look at my picture?)

|The present study is an attempt to understand the link between natural resource degradation and poverty among people dependent on these resources. This is done by examining the impact of depletion of marine resources on the livelihood and socio-economic condition of the small-scale marine fishery community in South Kerala. In Kerala, nearly ten lakh fisherfolk depend on the marine fishery resources for their livelihood. The overall level of education of the small-scale fishing community is lower than that of the State's rural population. Almost all the households surveyed, is one way or other, depend on fishery resources for livelihood. Low levels percapita income and high levels of inequality imply the existence of a large proportion of poor people in the community who are vulnerable to external shocks. The study reveals that poverty was comparatively higher among households with no fishing assets, with only one earner, with more than two children, and depending entirely on pensions/remittances. The study has not provided any evidence to show that poverty in the community is the result of depletion of marine resources.

My husband calls my general impatience with life "flipping pancakes." While learning to make Sunday morning flapjacks when we were first married, I would stare at the cooking batter, spatula at the ready, and flip the things at the first rising bubble.
Too soon.
Or, I would wait until most bubbles had popped, then turn the pancakes to find burnt bottoms.
Too late.
Gardens can be harder to read than pancakes. It's difficult to harvest your bounty at the exact right moment, at peak flavor, color and overall fabulousness. Pick too soon, and you sacrifice volume; pick too late, and you've lost flavor.
Here the very best times to harvest your veggies.
Tomatoes: Rich, glossy color; firm skin; wonderfully aromatic. But tomatoes are tricky, because by the time the fruit is ripe for the picking, the squirrels have gotten to it first. (Argggh!) So I pick a little bit before perfect, and let them fully ripen on a sunny windowsill.
Peas: When pods are swollen, but before they wrinkle or yellow. I pick sugar snap peas when they're young and tender, and blooms are still on the ends.
Beans: Pick them small and tender, and you've got an unofficial haricot vert, so yummy steamed and drizzled with a butter. Let the beans grow larger, and you've got a sturdy, crunchy vegetable that I put out as snacks.
Green Onions: If you grow green onions primarily for the spicy tops, harvest when stalks are about 1 foot tall, bright green and tender. Or, wait until the bulbs are about 1-2 inches. I often let my green onions go to seed, and then I have twice the harvest next year.
Potatoes: For bigger, longer-lasting potatoes, harvest when the foliage browns and wilts. If you want newer potatoes, often sweeter than more mature spuds, dig them up after plants bloom.
Asparagus: Pick when spears are about 6-8 inches long. In northern Virginia, I have about a three-day window to harvest my spears before they bolt and leaf out into lovely, feathery plants, a great garden accent.
Carrots: Harvest when carrots are brightly colored, firm, and about ½-inch in diameter. Although it's fun to pluck a long carrot from the ground, younger, shorter carrots are sweeter.
Celery: Pick when stalks are green, glossy and about 8 inches long. Leaves should be bright green. I always cut the stalks and bury the crown, for a never-ending celery crop.
Chives: Cut from the plant when the stalks are bright green and still soft. By the time the plant puts out its lovely, purple blooms, it's usually too late to harvest, because the soft stalks have become more like sticks.
Cucumbers: Size doesn't matter as much as color and firmness. Harvest when skin is dark green, and the fruit is firm. Smaller cukes are sweeter and have softer, more delectable seeds.

Utopia Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Page) based on the 1989 Cambridge University Press edition
Quote #4
[The Utopians] never discuss happiness without joining to their philosophical rationalism certain principles of religion. Without these religious principles, they think that reason is bound to prove weak and defective in its efforts to investigate true happiness. (2.68)
Aha. So in Utopia, religion and philosophy think about the same questions. We're wondering if Hythloday sees this as a model for Europe as well.
Quote #5
The religious principles [the Utopians] invoke are of this nature: that the soul of man is immortal, and by God's goodness born for happiness; and that after this life, rewards are appointed for our virtues and good deeds, punishments for our sins. (2.68)
This religion does sounds a bit familiar. How much does it overlap with Christianity, the religion of More's time? In what ways is it different?
Quote #6
But after [the Utopians] heard from us the name of Christ, and learned of his teachings, his life, his miracles, and the no less marvelous devotion of the many martyrs whose blood, freely shed, had drawn nations far and near into the Christian fellowship, you would not believe how they were impressed. (2.97)
This moment in Hythloday's story would have sounded very familiar. After all, religious conversation was a huge reality of New World encounters. Of course, most real life encounters were less successful than the Utopian reception of Christianity depicted here.

Lafayette Cemetery #1 Tour
History & Location
Lafayette Cemetery #1 was established in 1833 on the site of the former Livaudais Sugar Plantation.
Many of those buried in Lafayette #1 died in epidemics that swept through New Orleans and its suburbs in the 1800's. As a result you will see tablets that state the length of life in detail, e.g., "Jacob J. Wagner departed this life January 4th 1848. Age 33 years 6 months and 4 days."
Lafayette Cemetery holds the remains of citizens from twenty five different countries. The cemetery was never segregated by race, ethnicity, or religious denomination. Click here to see the Hatfields' inventory and index to tombs in Lafayette #1 Cemetery.
In addition to the above ground family tombs, Lafayette has a number of large tombs known as "society" tombs. These are group tombs for members of occupational, ethnic, fraternal, or benevolent associations. Benevolent associations were a way to pool resources, find housing and employment, deal with medical and immigration issues, and provide affordable burial for members and their families.
Movie companies have filmed a number of productions here. They range from the very good to the mediocre. Double Jeopardy, Interview with The Vampire, Skeleton Key and Dracula 2000 are a few of the movies set here.

In the flirting game, there are many sources of valid, tested, useful ideas on what to do. I am here as your unmitigated source of what NOT to do. This is a free service I provide. You're welcome. Now I have had a few successful turns at flirting, but they are so few and far between... and my failures are so abundant and amusing... it would really be a crime not to share some of them. Here is one of my most recent adventures.
When getting a Listerine Strip, make sure you are only getting ONE.
I had just gotten on a plane and I realized the man I was sitting next to was quite attractive (and on initial inspection, seemed to have at least a normal IQ and most of his teeth, which has been an issue a few times. That's fodder for another article.), so I took stock of myself. I was pretty much all systems go except for the possibility of coffee breath, which was easy enough to fix. I shot him a smile while digging in my purse for a minty-remedy and he started small talk. We were already past the current weather phase of chatting when I finally found what I was looking for. I was so involved in answering his question about work that I did not look at the number of strips I had before casually turning away and popping them in my mouth.
I very quickly realized the enormity of my error when what was apparently FIVE mint strips began to dissolve into a Fire-Mint-Flavored nuclear superglue. Tooooo mintyyyyyy. I had been attacked by a Mint Ninja. Do you know how difficult it is to appear casually sexy when your eyes are watering, your nose is flared, and you literally can't speak because your tongue is stuck to the roof of your mouth and your taste buds are being chemically burned off like it's some kind of bizarre oral-hygiene torture?? Let me tell you, it is slightly taxing... The best conversation I could muster was muffled "umhumms" and the like, all the while trying to be subtle about working my mouth like Mr. Ed when they put peanut butter on his tongue to make him talk. I felt like a goddess... a minty fresh goddess.
People around me started sniffing and looking around, as if the mouthwash-grenade in my mouth was hurting them, too. Conversation dwindled with my cute neighbor. I was trying desperately to look very absorbed in a game of solitaire on my phone whilst also trying to rid myself of the mouth-glue. The flight was only an hour. A very long hour. Incidentally, that is EXACTLY how long it takes five Listerine strips to completely dissolve. In case you wondered.

Ask Carol: "Why Do You Always Start with TYPE 1 Energy?"
I received a great question from a reader who recently asked me:
Why do you always start with TYPE 1SM Energy?"
As a TYPE 4SM woman, she wondered if we could do the TYPE 4 video first sometime, because whenever we do a new blog series about the 4 Energy Types (such as different Communication styles or the Relationship series), she has to be patient longer to see the new post for her Energy Type.
I'm grateful for her question (and she's not the first to ask it), because it gives me a great opportunity to explain the "Why" behind this.
Plus, find out what happened the time we reversed the order and did not start with TYPE 1 Energy!

Smithsonian reports GMO soybean pollen threatens Mexican honey sales, says a new study, "Transgenic soybean pollen (Glycine max L.) in honey from the Yucatán peninsula, Mexico " published online February 7, 2014 in Scientific Reports.
Mexico is the third largest exporter of honey, 40% of domestic production is obtained from Yucatan, Campeche and Quintana Roo, and 98% of the honey that comes from the Yucatan Peninsula is exported to the European Union. The release of transgenic grains will ruin the beekeeping sector that is essential not only for the economy and agriculture but also for the conservation of ecosystems, reports the November 1, 2012 article, "Monsanto's bile against Mexico's honey."
Now, in a new study, a Smithsonian researcher and colleagues helped rural farmers in Mexico to quantify the genetically modified organism soybean pollen in honey samples rejected for sale in Germany. Their results appeared today, February 7, 2014 in the online journal, Scientific Reports. Authors of the study are Villanueva-Gutiérrez, R., Echazarreta-González, C., Roubik, D.W., Moguel-Ordóñez, Y.B. Also, you may wish to see, "Honey Export Import Report - Planetexim."
Mexico is the fourth largest honey producer and fifth largest honey exporter in the world
A Smithsonian researcher and colleagues helped rural farmers in Mexico to quantify the genetically modified organism (GMO) soybean pollen in honey samples rejected for sale in Germany. David Roubik, senior staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, and colleagues developed the ability to identify pollen grains in honey in Panama and in Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s when they studied the effects of the arrival of Africanized bees on native bees. "Nobody else can do this kind of work in the 'big field' environment and be confident that what they are seeing are soybean pollen grains," says Roubik, according to the February 7, 2014 news release, "Smithsonian reports GMO soybean pollen threatens Mexican honey sales."
Researchers found that six honey samples from nine hives in the Campeche region contained soy pollen in addition to pollen from many wild plant species. The pollen came from crops near the bee colonies in several small apiaries.
Due to strict European regulations, rural farmers in the Mexican Yucatan face significant price cuts or outright rejection of their honey crop when their product contains pollen from GMO crops that are not for human consumption. The regional agricultural authorities, furthermore, seemed unaware that bees visited flowering soybeans to collect nectar and pollen. You also may be interested in the article, "View Legal Comments - Center for Food Safety."
"As far as we could determine, every kind of GMO soybean grown in Campeche is approved for human consumption," explains Roubik, according to the news release. "But honey importers sometimes do no further analysis to match GMO pollen grains with their source."
To test the honey for GMO pollen, researchers from the Smithsonian, El Colegio de la Frontera Sur la Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan and el Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agropecuarias y Pecuarias sent the nine samples to Intertek laboratory in Bremen, Germany, for genetic analysis. Also, you may wish to see the article, "Monsanto's bile against Mexico's honey - Americas Program."
Two samples tested positive for GMO pollen
"We cautiously interpret these results as significant for elsewhere in Mexico where some five times the GMO soy grown in Campeche is found and beekeeping is alive and well, not to mention the rest of the world," says Roubik in the news release. "Bee colonies act as extremely sensitive environmental indicators. Bees from a single colony may gather nectar and pollen resources from flowers in a 200-square-kilometer area. With an economy based on subsistence agriculture associated with honey production, the social implications of this shift in the status of honey are likely to be contentious and have profound implications for beekeeping in general."
You also can check out the articles, "Honey Trade Information Brief.pdf - SADC Trade" or "The geography of honey production in Mexico | Geo-Mexico." Germany is Mexico's main export market for honey, with almost US $35 million in purchases in 2004 (66% of honey total exports).
The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, headquartered in Panama City, Panama, is a unit of the Smithsonian Institution. The Institute furthers the understanding of tropical nature and its importance to human welfare, trains students to conduct research in the tropics and promotes conservation by increasing public awareness of the beauty and importance of tropical ecosystems.

As you could probably tell from the title I have a problem here. I going to be starting school next week and after looking at the schools regulations I found out they do not let students or anyone besides police carry on campus, I'm not even sure if they have an armed security guard. Their plan for an incident of some kind is the whole lockdown thing which as everyone knows is basically locking the door and hoping who ever is out there goes somewhere else. The whole thing of hiding in a corner wonder who will get to you first, the bad guys or the cops doesn't sit well with me.
I dont know really what the best option is here so I'm turning to you guys for some advice. My gun is a little on the big side for normal concealed carry although I do carry it concealed all the time with no problem but I would consider it risky to do so there. I was thinking maybe keep it in the holster on the bottom of my book bag being that it would blend in even if someone saw inside it, its inside is black, holster is black and gun is black. Other than that there is locking it in the car which means it would be useless to me while at school and could be potentially be stolen from a car break in. Leaving it at home is just out of the question.
*side note* its legal to carry a concealed gun on campus if you have your cpl, but if caught at school I would be kicked out and loose my last chance of getting my college education.
So any ideas?

Online Gambling Accounts Frozen By Federal Government In US
- By Elijah O'Connor
- Published 06/9/2009
- Legal Casino News
PPA The contention all along by online poker players in the US was that what they were doing was not illegal. The game is one of skill, not luck, so therefore it is not illegal to play online.
The Federal government does not agree with this way of thinking and has now made their first move in stopping Internet gambling since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was conceived.
The Poker Players Alliance has indicated to the Associated Press that the federal government has frozen accounts of payment processors responsible for paying winnings to online poker players.
The move, according to the PPA, could be holding winnings up over $30 million. A judge in district court issued a seizure warrant for an account at a Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco.
Many online players have been complaining in the past week about not being able to deposit or withdraw money from their accounts at PokerStars, one of the more popular online poker sites.
The Poker Players Alliance has been battling the US government for years over Internet gambling laws and how they pertain to online poker. The group maintains that poker should be exempted from all online gambling laws.

The Inbetweeners USA cancelled
After twelve episodes, MTV have said no thanks to further episodes of its The Inbetweeners remake...
We try to remain a positive bunch here at Den of Geek towers, hence our weekly reviews of The Inbetweeners USA having faded gently into the darkness around the fourth instalment.
Rather than continue to sigh, drop our shoulders, and point out the inadequacies and disappointments of the show each week, we preferred to leave it by the wayside like an unwanted pet, in the hope that someone, somewhere might come to love it where we weren't able.
The news then, that MTV has waved goodbye to the remake after its initial twelve-episode run comes as little surprise. The show never cracked a million US viewers per week, and the critical response was unsurprisingly, never greatly enthusiastic.
If none of that puts you off and your interest was piqued by the remake, then UK viewers are in luck. The twelve-episode run will be aired weekly on E4 starting next Wednesday the 5th of December.
Disclaimer: Den of Geek would like to make it clear that no pets were abandoned by the roadside in the writing of this story.

Unofficial Android Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 i8160 available now
While Samsung has confirmed more than once that its Galaxy Ace 2 i8160 would get Android Jelly Bean, the company has yet to officially roll-out the update to the handset. Still, in case you just can't wait to get rid of that older Android version on your Ace 2, a leaked Jelly Bean build is now available.
The folks over at Sam Mobile are providing a downloadable file that will bring Android 4.1.2 to the Galaxy Ace 2. Of course, if you do install this leaked firmware you're doing it at your own risk. Inexperienced users are strongly advised to wait for the official JB update from Samsung (which might not arrive until April).
Apart from bringing all the enhancements of 4.1.2 Android Jelly Bean to the Ace 2, the update also includes a lighter version of Samsung's Nature UX, so it is certainly going to significantly change the handset's face.
Launched almost a year ago with Android Gingerbread on board, the Galaxy Ace 2 i8160 is one of Samsung's few smartphones to come with an ST-Ericsson NovaThor processor (dual-core, 800MHz). The handset also features a 3.8 inch WVGA display, HSDPA, 5MP rear camera, VGA front-facing camera, 768MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory, MicroSD card support, and a 1,500 mAh battery.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Washington defender Taylor Peay keeps racking up the awards after last week's big performance. Tuesday, he was named the NSCAA National Player of the Week.
Peay recorded eight points on four goals in the Huskies two games this past weekend. He had a hat trick in the 4-1 win against Santa Clara, and then followed up with another goal in a 4-1 win against Portland. He is also a member of a Washington defense that has held opponents to just two goals.
Peay was earlier named Pac-12 Player of the Week and was also named to multiple National Team's of the Week by various media outlets.
A defender, Peay had just two career goals before his huge week.
He'll lead the 10th-ranked Huskies into their game tonight against No. 3 Connecticut. The Dawgs are looking to avenge last season's overtime loss to the other Huskies.

In the future according to Google, no one will leave their homes with anything more than a cell phone. The goal is to use Google Wallet to literally digitize everything from your credit cards to your driver's license to your house key.
Is it possible? Unquestionably – especially when you think about how far cell phones have come in the past. Since the initial debut of the iPhone in 2007, app developers have been working to build more and more uses for the cell phone, and they've already replaced much of what we thought important once.
After all, when was the last time you used a GPS in your car? When was the last time you picked up a newspaper to read the headlines? Set your alarm clock? All of them have been replaced by the cell phone, and the idea of turning into your wallet can't be far behind. In countries like South Korea and Japan, it's already happened.

The SPIbelt appears to be a handy solution for toting a smart phone, a driver's license, a credit card, car keys, gel snacks, or a small stash of cash on the run.
This lightweight elastic web belt boasts a super-stretchy zippered pouch that expands to fit an iPhone, iPod, or similarly sized device. The adjustable waistband is easy to operate, as is the sturdy plastic buckle.
Hand-washable, the SPIbelt is made primarily of elastic and spandex. It weighs less than a pound empty. It comes in lots of colors, including black, blue, olive green, pink, red, turquoise, or even with polka dots.
This content is copyrighted. Please feel free to share the http/link, but no cut-and-paste copying or republishing without permission of the Milwaukee Running Examiner.
The basic SPIbelt currently retails for about $20 from Amazon, Dick's, Rebel Sport, REI, Running Warehouse, and other sporting goods suppliers.
Plenty of running enthusiasts laud this little belt, which has enjoyed airtime TV talk shows and running programs. This trim-sized pack won't hold a pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses, or a regular wallet. Still, it can accommodate lots of smaller stuff.
Here's why my SPIbelt may not be so swift.
The SPIbelt isn't waterproof, so items carried inside it may become damp, if the runner sweats more than a little or in inclement weather.
You are invited to join/"like" the Running Examiner – Milwaukee and More page on Facebook – for information, inspiration, and news for runners in our region.
Also, the zipper tends to catch, if it's not aligned just right, or if a zippered baggie is placed inside (to keep items dry).
Once fully loaded, the SPIbelt doesn't stay put during a run. It jostles and wiggles and bobs and slips and shifts and thumps with every step. The Texas-made belt is advertised as non-bouncing, but I beg to differ. I half-expected to find an iPhone-sized bruise on my hip after running a recent 5K.
Also, the SPIbelt inches its way upwards (at least on a woman), if it's not placed exactly at the waistline, which isn't all that comfortable with most running attire.
Note: This product review was based on a purchased item, not a free sample or promotional request.
Personally, I'll use my SPIbelt for bike and horseback rides and perhaps for trail hikes. I may wear it to keep valuables secure while traveling. But I'm not using it again for running. I won't run without my smart phone, and I have enough bouncing of my own, without having to endure a pounding phone on my midsection, inside a SPIbelt that won't sit still.

Some babies with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) have a slightly smaller jaw with a small skin tag (tiny raised piece of skin) in front of an otherwise normal-looking ear.
Other babies have more noticeable differences with one side of the face looking much smaller than the other or with a very small, abnormally shaped or even absent ear.
Most babies with CFM have facial differences, but they do not have any other medical problems. Some babies with craniofacial microsomia do have effects in other parts of their body.
Common features of craniofacial microsomia include:
To diagnose this condition, your doctor will examine your child's face and head carefully. Your child's ears, face, jaw and teeth will help the doctor determine whether they have CFM or another condition.
X-rays and computed tomography (CT) imaging can give the doctor more information. A CT scan is an X-ray procedure that takes a computer-enhanced cross-sectional view of the body.

Jimmy Collins
UIC Welcomes Back Andrew Haring as Associate Athletic Director
Haring to oversee athletic development operations
The all-time winningest basketball coach in UIC history with 218 career victories, Jimmy Collins took the program to new heights during his 14-year tenure.
Named head coach at UIC on March 27, 1996, Collins took over a team that had never made a postseason appearance and had reached the 20-win plateau only two times in the previous 49 years of competition.
He quickly changed the fortunes of the Flames, bringing his recruiting and coaching expertise with him from his previous assignment as an assistant under legendary head coach Lou Henson at Illinois.
Over the next 14 years on the sidelines at UIC, Collins guided the Flames to four postseason appearances, including three trips to the NCAA Tournament (1998, 2002, 2004) and one bid to the NIT (2003). He also has a conference regular-season championship (1998) and a pair of tournament titles (2002, 2004) to his credit while posting four 20-win seasons, including a school-record 24 victories in 2003-04.
On July 20, 2010, Collins announced that he was ending his coaching career at UIC effective August 31, 2010 to "enjoy retirement." He concluded his time as the Flames' head coach with the most victories in school history after compiling 218 victories from 1996-2010.
Upon his arrival at UIC in 1996, Collins wasted little time in proving that he had what it took to be a successful head coach.
In his first year on the Flames' bench, Collins coached UIC to a 15-14 overall record and a spot in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Tournament championship game, where the Flames fell to Butler by just a point, 69-68. After a 1-8 start, Collins and his crew staged a remarkable turnaround, going 14-6 in their final 20 outings of the season, including an 11-5 conference finish, which tied for second place. For his efforts, Collins became the first UIC coach in over 13 years to garner coach of the year honors, sharing the MCC Co-Coach of the Year recognition with Butler's Barry Collier.
In 1997-98, Collins led the Flames through a storybook season that concluded with their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament. UIC, which racked up a school-record matching 22 wins during the year and earned a share of the MCC regular-season title, received an at-large bid to the Final 64 along with fellow MCC schools Butler and Detroit. The Flames recorded many memorable victories during the season, highlighted by wins over the Big Ten co-champions, Michigan State; the Missouri Valley champs, Illinois State; and the MCC co-champions, Detroit. UIC reached as high as 19th in the RPI ratings while receiving the most votes in school history in the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Associated Press' Top 25 poll.
Following the fairy tale season, Collins garnered numerous awards and honors. In addition to being selected as the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association NCAA Division I "Coach of the Year" and the Referee's Association of Chicago "Coach of the Year," Collins was also honored by the Ed Kelly Sports Program, Inc., with a 1998 Giant Award, which recognizes an individual not only for their professional accomplishments, but also for the example they have set for others following in their footsteps. Additionally, Collins was inducted into the Urban Sports Hall of Fame of Syracuse and was also selected as a Father of the Year by Chicago's Father's Day Council.
Known as a great recruiter from his 13 years spent stockpiling the Fighting Illini, Collins has continued his success at UIC, using the talent-rich city of Chicago and its suburbs as his squad's foundation.
Pundits need look no further than his highly-touted 2000 recruiting class, which featured all-state honorees Cedrick Banks and Martell Bailey from Westinghouse High School and All-Chicago Public Leaguers Aaron Carr (Lincoln Park) and Armond Williams (Austin), to assess his recruiting exploits.
Under Collins' tutelage, the quartet became the backbone of the best three-year stretch in school history. Upon the arrival of that class, UIC earned three straight postseason bids and compiled 65 wins, topping the 20-win plateau in each season, marking the first time a Flames team has reached that plateau in three straight seasons.
Individually, Bailey ranked No. 1 in the country in assists in 2002-03 and finished second in the nation in 2003-04 en route to CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major All-American honors. Banks was a three-time All-Horizon League First Team honoree and finished his career as the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,097 points. Williams became the first player in school history to collect over 1,000 points, 700 rebounds and 150 steals in his career. Banks, Bailey and Williams were all named to the Horizon League's All-Defensive Team during their careers.
The trio of Banks, Bailey and Williams joined Carr on the floor for the first time during the 2001-02 season. Collins used the regular season to mix together a group of veterans and talented rookies into a squad that would play its best basketball at season's end, claiming the school's first-ever Horizon League Tournament title and advancing to the NCAA Tournament. The Flames finished the campaign with a 20-14 record and gave eventual Final Four representative Oklahoma all they could handle in the tournament's opening round.
The next year, UIC eclipsed the 20-win plateau for the second consecutive season for the first time in school history and made back-to-back postseason appearances for the first time, earning the program's first-ever bid to the National Invitation Tournament. The Flames, who finished the season with a record of 21-9, tied the school record for league wins in a season, going 12-4 to finish in third place in the highly competitive Horizon League.
During the 2003-04 campaign, the dynamic duo of Banks and Bailey led the Flames to a school record 24 wins en route to the team's second NCAA Tournament appearance in a three-year span. UIC tied its school record for league wins with 12 while also setting a new high-water mark with its 10 road victories.
The Flames would need to be road warriors in '03-'04, as they defeated Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse in the Horizon League Tournament semifinals and then rallied to take out Milwaukee in the Panthers' home arena to capture the league tournament title.
Collins, was forced to miss to the final 19 games of the 2006-07 season after taking a leave of absence to undergo a procedure to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The loss of Collins had its affect on the Flames as the team finished under .500 for the first time since the 2000-01 campaign. UIC battled without its leader down the stretch, though, winning five of its last seven games to earn a fourth place finish in the Horizon League.
With Collins back on the sidelines in 2007-08, the Flames quickly rebounded from the previous season's sub-.500 finish. Led by All-Horizon League First Team guard Josh Mayo, who led the squad with 17.1 ppg and finished seventh in the nation in three-point shooting, and intimidating 7-foot center Scott VanderMeer, who led the Horizon League in blocked shots and rebounding, UIC went 18-15, finished fourth in the Horizon League standings and advanced to the Horizon League semifinals for the first time since 2003-04.
Collins picked up banner victories in 2008-09, guiding the Flames to road wins over Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech. Making UIC's decision over the Yellow Jackets even greater was the fact that it marked Collins' 200th career victory as the Flames' head coach.
UIC has a track record of defeating foes from big-time conferences under Collins' watch. Georgia Tech (ACC), Vanderbilt (SEC), Ole Miss (SEC), Oregon State (Pac-10), Northwestern (Big Ten), Michigan State (Big Ten), Texas A&M (Big 12) and DePaul (BIG EAST) are some of the power conference programs that have gone down in defeat at the hands of Collins-led UIC teams.
Collins came to UIC from the University of Illinois' sister campus in Urbana-Champaign, where he developed a reputation as one of the nation's top recruiters, helping put together the class that took the Orange & Blue to the NCAA Final Four in 1989.
During his tenure with the Fighting Illini, Collins helped the squad to a 279-129 record (.684). In the Big Ten, Illinois compiled a 144-90 mark during his 13 years, which included a share of the regular season title in the 1983-84 season.
Collins' relationship with Henson, one of the NCAA Division I's all-time winningest coaches, began when Collins was a star guard under Henson at New Mexico State. During his three-year playing career, Collins averaged 20.1 points per game and, in his senior season, was named an All-American, pouring in over 24 ppg on an Aggies squad that finished 27-3 overall and advanced to the coveted Final Four.
A first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bulls in 1970, Collins had a short-lived career in professional basketball, with the Bulls and also the Carolina Cougars of the old American Basketball Association, before returning to the Las Cruces campus to serve as a graduate assistant under Henson. He worked there for two years, watching and learning from his mentor, but then got out of coaching for a while. He returned to his true calling a few years later.
In 1976, Collins returned to Chicago to start a trucking business. A year later, he became a hearing officer for the Cook County Probation Department, a position he held for six years. While serving as a probation officer, Collins also worked as a volunteer head coach at St. Thomas School in Chicago, where he is currently on the Board of Trustees, from 1980-83. He also coached in the pro-college league of Chicago and was named Coach of the Year in 1981. Then in 1983 he was reunited with Henson at Illinois when he was named an assistant coach to replace Tony Yates, who left to take the top post at Cincinnati.
From his time spent in Chicago, Collins developed a strong rapport with a number of the Chicago Public League and suburban coaches, which helped him recruit players who were key to much of the Illini's success. Names like Kendall Gill (Rich Central), Marcus Liberty (King), Nick Anderson (Simeon), Deon Thomas (Simeon), Kenny Battle (West Aurora), Kiwane Garris (Westinghouse) and Lowell Hamilton (Providence St. Mel) are a big part of Illini basketball lore.
Collins, who is co-chairman of the Chicago Special Olympics, was the first inductee into the Hall of Fame at Corcoran High School in Syracuse, N.Y., where he starred during his prep days. In 2004, Collins was inducted, along with the rest of his 1970 Aggie Final Four squad, into the New Mexico State Athletics Hall of Fame.
Most recently Collins has received include the African-American Coaches of Excellence Award from the Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White and the Chicago Defender's Men of Excellence award. He also received the Butterfly Award from the Lupus Foundation of America, Illinois Chapter in June 2010 for his work fighting the disease and promoting lupus awareness.
Collins and his family are immensely active in the community and on campus. They have teamed with the Lupus Foundation of America, Illinois Chapter for numerous Walk for Lupus Now events across Chicagoland over the years, and they even spearheaded Lupus Awareness Night held during the Flames' game against Oregon State in 2009. The Collins family also started the Jimmy and Hettie Collins Scholarship and Endowment to provide scholarship needs for deserving UIC students, particularly those serving as team managers or members of the UIC Pep Band.
Collins and his wife, Hettie, reside in Flossmoor, Ill., and have four children, Erica, Kenny, Semaj and Brandi.

Lenora Sunflower was walking on a street on the Upper West Side recently, when she was stopped by a woman who wanted to tell her "you just brought light and color into my day!" With her unique style and fashion sense, Sunflower is used to getting stopped on the street by strangers; she is featured in the street style shooter Scott Schuman's hugely popular book "The Sartorialist", which is a spin off of his internationally popular blog of the same title. And that was before her tresses were transformed by Juno Brown's High Fashion Hair Wraps, colorful, one-of-a-kind extensions that hang the full length of Sunflower's petite frame. Brown, herself the best model for her wearable art, attached each handmade extension to Sunflower's hair, a process that evolved over two days, and ever since Sunflower has been a living embodiment of the artist's mission statement.
A large part of that artistic vision involves what Brown refers to as "fearless creativity", and her view of herself as a "Chromotherapist", a sort of color therapist. With what she calls her "Wearable Art by Juno Brown: Intergalactic Sexiness High Fashion Hair Wraps", Brown seeks to transcend a world she sees as stripped of color, what she calls a "Communist/Puritan sensibility of blacks, grays and browns." Indeed, wherever she went during Fashion Week last month, Brown was photographed, interviewed and featured on the blogs and instagrams of many fashion insiders, who were taken by her unique look amidst all the glamorous uniformity.
Brown is a classically trained singer who hails from Washington D.C., but she has become a constant global traveler, moving around the world with the clients who fly her wherever they are, so she can perform her magical transformation with their hair. In Durham, North Carolina, where she recently travelled at a client's behest, Brown was stopped by a woman who told her "if everyone had their hair like you, we would all be smiling a lot more." That would sort of neutralize Brown's philosophy of "true self expression", but it is a fanciful idea nonetheless.
The most significant aspect of Brown's art, as she sees it, is the fact that each head wrap is one-of-a-kind, as they are all made by her by hand. She sources her materials using what she calls "my spidey sense" to locate the best yarn stores, trim shops, gemstones, and even, at times, the chain craft store, Michaels. The detachable, clip-in extensions are each intricate and unique assemblages of feathers, hemp, crystals, satin, gold and silver wire, colorful yarns and tiny stones, all attached to an easy clip-on base. The basic construction is three-stranded, so it is possible to have as many or as few as desired.
At a recent photo shoot, Dinah, an NYU student, was transformed with three of the clip-in head wraps, and Samantha, an actress who just appeared in Mariska Hargitay's directorial debut on "Law & Order: SVU", added a few of the wraps to her own blonde tresses. Brown has been on a non-stop schedule traveling all over to wrap new clients as her work blows up on social media. Her most recent job was styling the hair of models for the Arjuna AG 2014 Lookbook, a fashion line that features silver-plated clothing and accessories.
Brown is the daughter of a successful motivational speaker who owns a management consulting firm in Maryland. Her father's gift, says Brown, is "teaching people to collaborate". In many ways, she is her father's daughter, with her manifesto to "Just Say No to Normal" and her firm belief that "our individual happiness is directly tied to the person across from us on the train." As Juno Brown's Wearable Art continues to blossom on heads across the country, that vision of everyone smiling all the time comes closer to becoming a reality.

This is Part 5 in the series on the United Soccer Leagues. In this article we'll take an in-depth look at the Premier Development League featuring the Dayton Dutch Lions.
The Premier Development League, PDL, is the amateur league of the United Soccer Leagues. The PDL is currently the top U-23 men's league in the United States consisting of 68 teams across four conferences within the US and Canada. Each conference is further divided into two divisions for a total of eight divisions. The season consists of 16 regular season games, eight home and eight away. In addition to league play, PDL teams also compete in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup and other exhibition matches. The PDL is considered to be in the fourth tier of soccer in the United States behind MLS, the USSF Division 2 (USL First Division and the North American Soccer League) and the USL Second Division.
While it is not considered a "professional" league in the strictest sense as some players do not receive payment, the PDL prides itself on professionalism in the way that the league is run, its dedication to developing young players and preparing them for professional careers within the United States and abroad. Because the season is played over the summer months, the PDL draws from a large pool of NCAA college soccer players looking to continue play over the summer and maintain their eligibility. A new program called PDL-Pro allows teams to employ non-NCAA players who are paid for their performance, but still meet NCAA eligibility requirements. This does not breach the NCAA eligibility rules that state that college players many not play alongside professionals but may play against them. PDL rosters often include standout high school or club players in addition to former professional players who have been forced to retire from top-level competition but still wish to compete at a high level. PDL rules allow for a maximum of eight players on each team's 26-man roster to be over the age of 23, while at least three players must be 18 or younger.
States with PDL Teams Highlighted in Red
In 1995 the United System of Independent Soccer Leagues, USISL, split into two leagues, one professional and one amateur. As we discussed in Part 4 of this series, this split eventually saw the Pro League become the USL Second Division, while the formation of the amateur side gave birth to the Premier League. The reason for the split was to expand soccer in many urban areas while allowing college players to continue playing through the summer without losing eligibility. The inaugural season consisted of 27 teams with the Richmond Kickers defeating the Cocoa Express 3-1 for the Championship.
Over the next three seasons the Premier League would grow to 33 teams, see the Central Coast Roadrunners capture the first-ever consecutive titles and change its name to the Premier Development Soccer League, PDSL. In 1988, a young striker from the Spokane Shadow, Brian Ching, was named Rookie of the Year. Ching would go on to be drafted by the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer and be named MVP of the 2006 MLS Cup.
When USISL changed its name to the United Soccer Leagues in 1999, the PDSL became known as the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League or PDL. The league expanded to 42 teams in six divisions.
Through the 2000s, the PDL saw sustained growth increasing the number of teams to the current 68. An agreement with Fox Soccer Channel saw the PDL Championship broadcast live for the first time. Also, by the mid-2000s, professional teams began to invest in the league by adding U-23 development sides in addition to their senior rosters. In 2009, the PDL-Pro program was introduced allowing teams to act as professional clubs by paying players and while still maintaining NCAA eligibility requirements.
The PDL is organized in four conferences – Central, Eastern, Sothern, and Western. Each conference is further divided into two divisions with the Central Conference consisting of the Great Lakes and Heartland Divisions; the Eastern Conference hosting the Mid-Atlantic and North East Divisions; the Southern Conference is home to the Mid-South and Southeast Divisions; and, finally, the Western Division consists of the Northwest and Southwest Divisions. For the purposes of this article, we'll focus on the Central Conference and the Great Lakes Division specifically, which is home to the Dayton Dutch Lions.

Mental Health
Woe Awaits The Trapped, Traveling Therapist
Mental health professionals often board planes and trains with trepidation. If the passenger seated next to them starts a conversation with "So, what do you do?" their response can inspire an impromptu therapy session.
On the other hand, some seatmates fear being analyzed and opt to keep quiet.
Liz Galst spoke to mental health professionals about the perils of traveling for The New York Times. In her piece, "Cornered: Therapists On Planes," she reveals the different strategies for handling seatmates who share a bit too much.
"There are some people who really value the human interaction, even though they're off-duty," Galst tells NPR's Neal Conan.
But some therapists try to get around the question by responding creatively. Galst interviewed one practicing adolescent psychiatrist who tells people he's a sociologist, which is in fact part of his job.
"That's an effective conversation ender," she says.
But psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists aren't the only professionals met with strangers who want to spill their guts. Lawyers, clergy members, doctors, tell us: Ever been in an awkward conversation with a stranger on a plane? How did you handle it?

"Winter's Bone" Review
Jennifer Lawrence stars as Ree, a young Ozark mountain woman who is forced to deal with horrid neighbors and bitter family friends as she attempts to track down her drug-dealing father. Coupled with mounting debts and two small mouths to feed, Ree finds herself dealing with the harshest aspects of life at an all too early age.
"Winter's Bone" is as bleak as its title would suggest. There isn't an ounce of happiness on display here. It is a rough examination of a backward and uneducated society, desperately clinging to some sort of skewed moral code. Ree and her two young siblings are the only beacons of hope in a sea of despair. And if I make the film sound depressing… so be it.
That being said… This is a very worth effort due in no small part to the wonderful lead performance by Lawrence. She is relentlessly determined and fiercely driven throughout the story. I cannot think of a more precisely focused turn, male or female, from 2010. She is unquestionably the reason to see the movie. However, the film is absolutely a "one-time-watch". It is much too raw and unforgiving for multiple viewings.
