Ducks Head South for Aztec Invitational
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 03/26/2014
The Oregon track and field team will compete this week at the Aztec Invitational, Thursday-Saturday (March 27-29) hosted by San Diego State University. The three-day meet will host open, invitational and high school sections. The open events will be held Friday, with a majority of the invitational events to follow, Saturday. Live stats for the meet can be found here.
The 2013 1,500-meter champion, Mac Fleet, is scheduled to make his 2014 outdoor debut in his hometown of San Diego. Fleet is entered in both the invitational 5,000 and 3,000, Friday.
A pair of promising freshman hurdlers will take part in the 100 and 110 hurdles for Oregon, Saturday. Sasha Wallace, who set the school record in the 60 hurdles during her first indoor meet, will run the 100 hurdles while freshman football wide receiver Devon Allen looks to be the Ducks' top representative in the 110 hurdles.
Haley Crouser is scheduled to make her Oregon debut, Saturday, as she is entered in the javelin.
After running the 1,500 to start the season at the Oregon Preview, the indoor 800 champion, Laura Roesler, will have a chance to show off her quarter-mile speed in the invitational 400, Saturday.
Roesler is also entered in the 200 with a flock of Oregon student-athletes. She will join Jasmine Todd, Jenna Prandini, Chizoba Okodogbe, Ashante Horsley and Marybeth Sant on the women's side while Mike Berry, Marcus Chambers, Arthur Delaney, and Jack Galpin will all be running in the men's 200.
National Rankings:
In the first USTFCCCA computer rankings of the outdoor season, the Women of Oregon were slotted No. 2 while the Men of Oregon start the season ranked No. 4.
Ducks Start Fast at Oregon Preview:
The sunny skies above Historic Hayward Field provided perfect conditions for competition at the outdoor season-opening Oregon Preview, Saturday, as the Ducks' track and field team kept the ball rolling after a sweep at the NCAA Indoor Championships a week ago.
That momentum continued for freshman Christian Brennan, who is coming off a part in the Ducks' thrilling 4x400 win in Albuquerque. Brennan started the day with a win in the 400, and followed it with a second win in the 200, setting a meet record of 23.61, the ninth-fastest time in Oregon history.
Brittany Mann also set a meet record of 53-4.50 (16.27m) during her win in the women's shot put. The redshirt freshman was anxious to make her mark during her first meet at Hayward Field in an Oregon uniform, as that distance is the second best in school history.
Lauren Crockett set a lifetime best in the high jump, clearing a meet record 6-0.50. Crockett set a 6-0 personal record during the 2014 indoor season, but today's performance was more than an inch above her best from the 2013 outdoor season, as she now ranks tied for third in the Oregon record book.
The first meet record of the day was a team effort, as Marybeth Sant, Phyllis Francis, Jenna Prandini and Jasmine Todd won the 4x100 relay in a time of 44.10, the sixth-fastest team in Oregon history.
Sammie Clark continued the women's strong showing by winning the pole vault and setting a personal record to move up to fifth all-time for the Ducks. It came down to her final attempt, and Clark used some Hayward Field magic in front of a crowd of 4,611 to clear the bar at 13-7 (4.14m).
Sweeping Through Indoors:
The men's and women's teams were crowned champions at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, upsetting the field as neither team entered with a No. 1 ranking. The men entered the weekend ranked sixth but rolled behind Edward Cheserek to amass 62 points, the most in school history, and an eight-point win over second-place Arkansas. The women were ranked second, and used some late dramatics in the 4x400 to finish with 44 points, half a point ahead of Texas.
The Ducks won four individual events in addition to a thrilling women's 4x400. Edward Cheserek swept the 5,000 and the men's 3,000 on the men's side. Laura Roesler earned her first individual championship by winning the 800 while Phyllis Francis captured the 400-meter title in American-record fashion.
Johnson Named Coach of the Year:
Robert Johnson was honored as both the 2014 Division I NCAA Indoor Men's and Women's Coach of the Year. Johnson is a five-time recipient of the award and has earned the honor four-straight years as the Women's Coach of the Year.
Cheserek Named Track Athlete of the Year:
Edward Cheserek was named the 2014 Division I NCAA Indoor Track Athlete of the Year after his sweep at the NCAA Championships. Cheserek is the first freshman to win the award, and the first Duck on the men's side to win since Galen Rupp in 2009.
Record Setter:
Phyllis Francis' winning time of 50.46 in the 400 at the NCAA Indoor Championships is an American record and collegiate indoor record in addition to being the fastest time in the world in 2014.
Duck Dynasty:
The Women of Oregon are now five-time defending NCAA Champions. The streak is tied with LSU for the longest in NCAA history which won five straight from 1993-97.
Roesler Sets All-American Record:
With two All-Amerca honors at the indoor championships, Laura Roesler is now the most decorated Track and Field All-American in Oregon history with 15 (six outdoor, nine indoor). Jordan Hasay held the previous record of 14.
Roesler, Taylor Earn Regional Awards:
Oregon senior middle distance runner, Laura Roesler and assistant coach, Curtis Taylor were honored as the regional athletes and coaches of the year for the 2014 NCAA Division I Indoor track and field season were announced, Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Roesler was named the West Region Women's Track Athlete of the Year and Taylor was voted the West Region Women's Assistant Coach of the Year.

Among many other peanut butter, almond butter and other nut products recalled by Sunland, Inc. for Salmonella contamination, a product specifically manufactured for dogs has now been recalled, although it did not test positive for Salmonella. The product is listed below.
Dogsbutter RUC with Flax PB
16 oz
This recall is limited to products manufactured between May 1, 2012 and September 24, 2012. These products may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The voluntary recall was initiated after learning that between June 11, 2012 and September 2, 2012, twenty-nine people reported Salmonella Bredeney PFGE matching illnesses in approximately 18 states, including Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland, according to a report issued on September 22, 2012 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
For an overview of all peanut butter, almond butter and other related products involved in this wide-ranging recall, visit the FDA site.

The County assumed responsibility for solid waste management from its member municipalities in 2001. A strategy for the long term management of all the inherited landfill sites was established at that time. An initial assessment of the sites had determined that a number of issues required correction. In cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC), the County detailed the specific remediation work required and established a schedule for the work to occur over a 10 to 15 year period.
this process at times required the purchase of adjacent property to:
The County has worked closely with the MOECC to ensure all sites are remediated to meet or exceed provincial standards. Annual reviews and as needed site inspections occur with the MOECC to provide an opportunity to adjust any designs, site specific plans or work schedules.
From the beginning, the Solid Waste Services Division has taken a "Good Neighbour" approach in all of its active waste operations. That approach also applies to the closed sites. In urban or special areas where housing is adjacent to the sites, the County has installed black chain link fence to match the urban setting. Landscaping with sculpted earthworks and trees has been implemented to give the sites a park like appearance. Grass cutting programmes have been introduced so neighbouring property values are not negatively impacted.
These sites often link to rivers, creeks and wildlife corridors and provide an excellent opportunity for the County to give back to Nature. Additional plantings of pollinator species with native grasses, shrubs and trees are underway. We are also currently assessing opportunities to improve wildlife habitat.
The County has taken its long term responsibility for managing its waste facilities very seriously. This has lead to a very productive and proactive approach with the MOECC to ensure that we manage these sites in a safe and responsible manner. SWS has also adopted a policy of exceeding MOECC requirements and committing to sound environmentally healthy practices to benefit surrounding neighbours and communities.

The pronoun is stressed outMilan, Spring 2010
Okay so this title isn't one hundred percent relevant just an amusing quote from my Italian teacher trying to explain stressed and unstressed pronouns to us. But, the stressed out part is relevant! It's midterms time here and everyone seems to be feeling the pressure, probably because we all just got accustomed to the fact that we actually have to learn while we're here. My weeks have been a bit long lately. I have a full day of classes Mondays and Thursdays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays I have one class and my internship the rest of the day. Add weekend trips on top of that and you get very little sleep and not much time for that whole homework thing. Not to mention my apartment is like the abyss of procrastination. I somehow manage to spend hours upon hours there accomplishing absolutely nothing (outside of skype calls and facebook stalking) and feeling no motivation to do so. But we'll all get through it I'm sure. None of my exams seem like they'll be too bad and I have two weekends in Milan before spring break to catch up on some sleep! At Ithaca, it is required that all students who study abroad attend a seminar before they leave. And one of the things we were shown was a diagram that was supposed to demonstrate the ups and downs, the roller coaster of emotions you'll feel while abroad. Apparently almost every school requires this and has some version of this roller coaster diagram. So, whenever someone here says something negative we all respond with "You know I think your on the down hill of your roller coaster right now..." and maybe this is a you-had-to-be-there type deal but it always illicit a laugh and brings everyone back up. So, we all may be feeling the downhill of our hypothetical roller coaster right now but luckily there's always an uphill waiting at the end.

Former Prez Bill Clinton was hospitalized in New York today. He had been complaining of severe chest pains for two days now. He was admitted to Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital today (NBCChicago)
Hillary Clinton released the news that she is leaving Washington right away to be with him.
TMZ reports that he had to have a stent procedure which consists of two stents placed in his coronary arteries which is usually required to unclog a blocked artery.
Bill Clinton is in good spirits about his health problems. His rep says, "He will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts."
"In 2004, President Clinton underwent a successful quadruple bypass operation to free four blocked arteries," so this is the second time around for good ole Bill.

Meanwhile, the Orb and his gang arrive at his lair, where he awakens the hypnotized Roxanne. he tells her that his name is Drake Shannon, and that he used to be her father's partner in starting the cycle show. Shannon was a reckless person, and when he realized he couldn't get along with Crash, he challenged him to a cross-country race, the winner of which would get sole ownership of the show. During the race, Shannon attempted to run his former partner off the road, but instead caused himself to wreck, his cycle flipping at 95 miles an hour, throwing him into a skid across the tarmac for more than 25 yards...on his face. He's wanted nothing but revenge ever since, and he was approached by an organization called "They", who gave him his hypnotic helmet. He then removes the helmet and shows Roxanne his hideously disfigured face. Blaze then enters the lair with the ownership papers to the cycle show, demanding that he and Roxanne be allowed to leave. The Orb instead commands his men to open fire on the two, but the gang is stopped by the entrance of Spider-Man. The Orb jumps on his cycle and again kidnaps Roxanne, forcing the Ghost Rider and Spider-Man to jump on cycles of their own and give chase. The chase leads them out of the lair, which is the power room to an abandoned subway rail, and into Grand Central Station. Spider-Man shoots a strand of web that grabs hold of Roxanne, freeing the girl from the Orb's grasp. With Spidey making sure the girl is safe, Blaze chases the Orb back onto the subway rails, but the villain fails to see an oncoming train. The subway train crushes the villain, and Blaze narrowly avoids the same fate by grabbing onto a railing attached to the ceiling. He then returns to the platform, the ownership papers in his hand. He sets the papers afire with his hellfire, saying that he's almost glad the Orb didn't live long enough to find that the papers were worthless forgeries. Blaze and Roxanne then part company with Spider-Man, saying that perhaps they will meet again.

We can use the verbs begin and start to mean the same thing but begin is more formal than start. Begin is an irregular verb. Its past simple form is began and its -ed form is begun:
When did you begin learning English?
The meeting didn't start until 9 pm.
We use start, but not begin, to talk about machines:
Press this button to start the printer.
Not: …
to begin the printer.
The lawnmower won't start. (this means that it doesn't work)
The lawnmower won't begin.
Start, but not begin, is used to talk about creating a new business:
She started a new restaurant and it's been going really well.
She began a new restaurant…

Black Boy

Black Boy Race Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Section.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It might have been that my tardiness in learning to sense white people as "white" people came from the fact that many of my relatives were "white"-looking people. My grandmother, who was white as any "white" person, had never looked "white" to me. (1.1.256)
Richard doesn't get it. If she looks white, isn't that enough to make Granny be white? What else does she need? Maybe she didn't get her Certified White Person card?
Quote #2
I had begun to notice that my mother became irritated when I questioned her about whites and blacks, and I could not quite understand it. (1.2.121)
It's true that Richard is seriously annoying, but, come on. Most parents avoid "The Talk" for as long as possible—only here "The Talk" is about race, not reproduction.
Quote #3
"Granny didn't become colored," my mother said angrily. "She was born the color she is now." Again I was being shut out of the secret, the thing, the reality I felt somewhere beneath all the words and silences.
"Why don't you want to talk to me?" I asked. She slapped me and I cried. Later, grudgingly, she told me that Granny came of Irish, Scotch, and French stock in which Negro blood had somewhere and somehow been infused. (1.2.142)
Granny's family is like a virtual "We Are the World." So if she's Irish, Scotch, and French, what makes her black? The One Drop Rule?

Alabama-South Carolina Boxscore
Alabama Season Stats
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Alabama and South Carolina combined for 35 runs and 41 hits, using as total of 14 pitchers, as the No. 3 Gamecocks posted a 20-15 win in the series finale Sunday afternoon at Carolina Stadium. The 35 combined runs are the most in an SEC game since Alabama beat Vanderbilt 22-13 on May 8, 1999 in Tuscaloosa.
The two teams also combined for nine home runs in the slugfest, including a season-high five home runs by the Crimson Tide. Senior third baseman Jake Smith, junior shortstop Josh Rutledge, junior DH David Kindred and sophomore centerfielder Taylor Dugas accounted for the Tide's round trippers. South Carolina's four home runs were recorded by Jackie Bradley, Jr., Brady Thomas, Kyle Enders and Evan Marzilli.
South Carolina (34-10, 16-5 SEC) posted season highs for runs (20) and hits (25) and set the Carolina Stadium record with 25 hits on Sunday. The Gamecocks put the leadoff man on base in seven of the eight innings and scored in seven of the eight innings.
Alabama (28-17, 9-12 SEC) used eight pitchers in the loss and every pitcher yielded at least one run and two hits in the game. No pitcher worked more than 1 2/3 innings.
"It was a bad bullpen day for us and good offensive day for them," Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "I thought our position players had another good day at the plate and competed hard in all three games."
Jones and Kindred had three hits apiece to pace the Crimson Tide offense. Jones was 3-for-5 with three runs scored, one home run and two RBI, while Kindred was 3-for-5 with three runs scored, one home run and three RBI.
Dugas, Rutledge, Smith, senior second baseman Cal Tinsley and junior catcher Brock Bennett each had two hits for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama held an 8-4 lead in the fourth inning on a pair of two-out home runs by Rutledge and Kindred. Rutledge hit a 2-0 pitch over the center field wall to give the Tide a 6-4 lead. After Jones walked on a 12-pitch plate appearance, Kindred lined a two-run homer over the left field wall to give Alabama an 8-4 lead.
South Carolina scored 11 runs over the next two innings to blow the game open.
The Gamecocks took a 10-8 lead with by scoring six runs in the fourth inning, capped by Thomas' three-run, pinch-hit home run.

Ender stoked a two-run homer in the inning for the Gamecocks.
Alabama scored three times in the seventh when Dugas lined a three-run home run to left field to cut the lead to 15-11. South Carolina immediately answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame on Marzilli's two-run homer to make it 17-11.
Smith's RBI single provided the Tide with another run in the eighth but the Gamecocks tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the inning for a 20-12 lead.
Jones hit his team-leading 13th home run in the ninth inning for Alabama to make the final 20-15.

I remember spending time in the kitchen with my mom. She was a working mother in the 50's, teaching music lessons from our home. Even though she was not available until after 5:30 when music lessons were over, she had a set routine for setting the table and a list that had to be followed.
Another requirement were the precise rules for cooking in the kitchen. The recipe had to followed and everything had to be washed up. The kitchen was almost clean by the time the casserole was put in the oven. Only the counters had to be wiped.
What I did not realize at the time, was that in addition to learning valuable skills,I was also enjoying the sensory experiences of cooking. Some of these were the textures of all the vegetables, occasional tastes, smells while preparing the food, and then the wafts as it cooked, how the colors changed from raw to cooked, and even listening for when things boiled.
When I go to a grocery store now, sometimes the cashiers do not even know the names of the vegetables I am buying. It is a good idea to give your child a wide variety of foods to taste and and the knowledge of how to cook them. Start with fun things, like simple desserts, http://realfoodforager.com/recipe-peppermint-chocolate-cups/ and continue with nutritious foods which you cook regularly. You and your child will enjoy the time together, and you will be creating a base for our child's knowledge and independence.

College Hockey:Niagara Rallies Past Colgate
HAMILTON, N.Y. — No. 19 Niagara scored two power-play goals in the third period to erase a 2-1 deficit and beat Colgate, 3-2, on Friday at Starr Rink. Chris Moran netted the winning goal for the Purple Eagles (12-6-3), and assisted on the other two scores as NU went 3-for-8 on the power play.
With less than seven minutes left in regulation, Niagara set up its offense on the power play. The Purple Eagles cycled the puck for about a minute, with Ted Cook crossing to Pat Oliveto at the right point, and Oliveto giving it to Moran at the left point. Moran took a slapshot that squeaked over Raider junior goaltender Mark Dekanich's glove as he was screened by Les Reaney.
After a scramble at the left dot about seven minutes into the final frame, Reaney tipped the puck to Cook, who skated in on Dekanich unopposed. At the bottom of the left circle, Cook fired a shot that entered the net high over Dekanich's blocker to tie the game at 2-2.
Colgate took a 1-0 lead 5:24 into the first period. Niagara sent the puck around the boards, but sophomore Nick St. Pierre stopped it and dumped it behind the net to senior Marc Fulton. Fulton quickly passed from behind the net around the left post to junior Jesse Winchester, who one-timed it into the net top-shelf, blocker side.
Four minutes later, junior Ben Camper was ejected from the game and saddled with a five-minute major for checking from behind. On the ensuing power play, Niagara set up in the zone and cycled the puck for two minutes. Sean Bentivoglio passed from the left point to Moran in the slot, and Moran threaded a pass between a pair of Colgate defenders to Cook in the left faceoff circle. Cook one-timed the puck over Dekanich's blocker to tie the game at 1.
Junior Tyler Burton scored the 50th goal of his career with less than five minutes remaining in the second period on the power play. Sophomore Jason Fredricks crossed the puck to Burton as he entered the zone. Burton snapped a pass across the ice to Fulton on the right faceoff dot, and he one-timed the puck back to Burton through traffic.
Burton received the pass, then shot from the slot in the same motion, beating goaltender Juliano Pagliero, who was caught out of position.
Dekanich finished the game with 30 saves, including 23 over the final two periods. Pagliero earned the win with 28 stops. The Raiders finished 1-for-5 on the power play, and dominated in the faceoff circle, 39-20, but were outshot, 33-30.

Implementation of Farmers Access to Credit Activity (FACA) expected to expedite agricultural credit
Tegucigalpa. On January 17, 2007, MCA-Honduras held a conference to present to the different respondents participating in the procurement process, the goals and targets of the Access to Credit Activity, that as part of MCA-Honduras Program, will be financed by the Government of the United States.
The agenda included presentation of the scope of the FACA Program by MCA-Honduras General Director, Martin Ochoa; description of the Farmers Training and Development Activity (FTDA) by Andrew Medlicott, and details regarding products included in the request for proposal by Fredi Arias.
The opportunity of getting accurate information beforehand was considered highly convenient by the representatives of the 14 pre-selected firms, and the opportunity was welcome to present their main doubts regarding TOR´s and the procurement process in general.
It is considered that meetings such as this help to strengthen transparency regarding competitive processes, since they give all firms the same level of opportunity to resolve doubts and to share opinions and experience among them. Attendees also had the opportunity to meet and exchange opinions with members of the evaluation panel.
The firm to be awarded with the contract will be in charge of developing innovative tools to facilitate access to credit for more than the 5,000 farmers that will be participating in the FTDA Project.
By expediting the overall access to credit procedure, and creating a friendly atmosphere between Honduran producers and the banking and financial system, with this program MCA-Honduras expects to reactivate Honduran farmers´ credibility, reduce agricultural credit risk and significantly improve customers service.
This web site was made possible through a grant given by the people of the United States to Honduras through the Millennium Challenge Corporation under the terms of a compact signed between the two countries. The information provided on this Web site is not official
U.S. Government information and does not represent the views or positions of the U.S. Government or

It was announced some time last year that 2014 would be the last time Motley Crue would tour, but many took the news with a grain of salt. It seems the band wants to stick to their guns about the breakup. The band members signed a "cessation of touring agreement" at a press conference in Los Angeles yesterday (January 28). The agreement will go into effect at the end of 2015. The band also announced details for their final tour. It'll will kick off July 2nd in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The bad boys of metal will be hitting Tinley Park August 8 at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre. They'll return to Moline, IL later in the year on November 9. Surprisingly, the opening has been announced; it is none other than Alice Cooper. See the complete list of dates below. Tickets for the tour will go on sale this Friday (January 31st).
"We always had a vision of going out with a big f***ing bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with one or two original band members," drummer Tommy Lee said in a statement. "Our job here is done."
The final tour will coincide with two Crue release. The first is the 2015 biopic called "The Dirt" based off their revealing 2001 biography of the same name. There will also be a country music tribute to band entitled "Country Music Tribute to Motley Crue," which will come out this summer.
For more information about the tour, make sure to visit their official website.

Work by Julie Blackmon, whose images of her children, nieces, nephews and friends, have transfixed the art world. Blackmon, herself the oldest of nine children, balances her role as a mother of three and an artist, referencing family life and the circumstances it creates. Chaos, disorder, fantasies, social gatherings, game playing, all of these scenarios continue to dominate Blackmon's work, which we first witnessed in her series, Domestic Vacations (Radius Books, 2008). Elegance, triumphs, dangers and solace mix with fantasy, where nothing is quite as it seems. Like Alice in her wonderland, Blackmon's children appear in reality and fantasy, engrossed in their fictitious worlds.
Influenced by Jan Steen and 17th c. Dutch paintings, Blackmon also credits Edward Gorey, Tim Burton and Federico Fellini, who stated, "the things that are most real to me are the ones that I invented… even lies are interesting, eloquent and revealing, just as much as what is considered the truth." By looking at her family through the lens of fiction, Blackmon reveals her own truth and one that seems to resonate with audiences' worldwide.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Greetings from Seattle http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=33519&th=6264#msg_33519 <![CDATA[Hi everyone,

 I've been a 3d modeller since the 80's and I dont think I ever imagined that one day I'd be able to make my 3d objects "real".

 So I've been really excited to watch the evolution of 3d printing and finding Shapeways is the final part of the puzzle.

 I'm preparing a series of objects to print right now and I'm looking forward to feeling them in my hands.

7 Inspiring Women Who Live Life on Their Own Terms
The types of women I admire the most tend to be on the eccentric or kooky side, very strong-minded, opinionated, or gregarious in some way. And are women who are doing something great in some way.
The sorts of women that I would define as Butterflyists are those who are not afraid to challenge the norms, who don't feel happy being the wallflower, who shock people, even if they don't intend to, and who will go against the grain (in fact, a good friend of mine who has now sadly died once said to me "You know Andrea, the thing about you is that you always have to go against the grain." I'm not sure he meant it as a compliment, but I took it as one!).
As we're heading into 2012, I decided to put together a list of the 7 women that I think epitomise my idea of a Butterflyist. All very differently, but there's a driving force behind each of them that I truly respect. I'd be interested to know if you think the same.
Eve Ensler – the woman who made the vagina mainstream
Eve Ensler is the woman who got the word 'vagina' into the title of an internationally acclaimed theatre production. There's no doubting that this in itself is an achievement, even before I talk about her others.
Many people can hardly bring themselves to say "vagina", but Eve managed to get a stage show based on it, running world-wide since 1996.
As horrible and disturbing as it is hilarious and forward-thinking, The Vagina Monologues – if you don't know it – is the result of Eve's in-depth interviews with a diverse group of women of all ages about their vaginas. Some of the play is focused around sexual violence, parts of it help to break down barriers to women's sexuality, and much of it is just side-splittingly funny.
I'm not featuring Eve Ensler here in order to review the play, though. She's in this list because she's managed to get the subject of women's sexuality, and also the abuse of it, so unashamedly into the public arena. And of course, there should be no shame in it.
But as well as being celebrated as writer of the Vagina Monologues, Eve has worked hard in creating a global awareness of violence against women, and she still actively campaigns on the issue having founded the V-Day movement in 1998.
'V-Day' occurs on 14th February each year, and the movement continues to strengthen internationally, with women and men all over the world creating V-Day events to raise funds each year. Last year, Eve opened City of Joy in Congo, a centre to help survivors of rape.
Eve comes under a lot of criticism from other feminists, but I find it difficult to see how what she has done for women can be disregarded because of petty differences in definitions of feminism.
Ingrid E. Newkirk – not afraid to get her hands bloody
Famous for their provocative anti-fur campaigns and celebrity endorsements, most people have heard of PETA, known in full as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It's an organisation that has probably done more for animal welfare and rights issues than any other single charity or pressure group.
That's not to say other groups don't work hard and haven't achieved wonderful results, it's just that PETA have managed to become a household name through being extremely media savvy. And it's thanks to Ingrid Newkirk, who founded PETA in 1980 and who knows how to pull off a good publicity stunt.
British-born Ingrid is one of the world's most renowned animal rights activists. She is dedicated, passionate, and vociferous, doing what it takes to be the voice for animals, since they do not have their own voice. In my humble opinion, she's a living legend.
Like anyone who makes a controversial topic such as 'animal rights' their life's work, when so many people believe animals shouldn't have rights, Ingrid comes under criticism from many factions. Mostly, it seems, from those who are exploiting and profiting from animals, and have something to lose with every step forward that PETA makes.
What I really love about Ingrid Newkirk is how she doesn't falter from her ideals, whatever people say, and she has remained consistent in her cause ever since the early 70s. She isn't scared to say what she thinks, and she isn't afraid to remain steadfast to her beliefs.
Her tenacious commitment has made PETA what it is today, and while I recognise some people view them as extreme, I think that's often down to a lack of understanding of the real issues. In which case, I'd recommend reading one of Ingrid's many books, such as The PETA Practical Guide to Animal Rights.
Oh, and writing this has reminded me that my PETA membership is due for renewal.
Penelope Trunk – as brazen as they come
If you know Penelope, who cofounded Brazen Careerist, you might think she's a strange one to be included in this list. She's not nearly as well-known as the other women here, other than amongst blogging communities and in the career management world. But she still has over 128,000 followers on Twitter. And she pisses a lot of women off.
Penelope once wrote a feature for the Guardian on why she tweeted about her miscarriage, saying "I'm in a board meeting. Having a miscarriage. Thank goodness, because there's a fucked-up three-week hoop-jump to have an abortion in Wisconsin." This candid and matter-of-fact manner sums her up. And is exactly why I like her.
On Penelope Trunk Blog, which has its main focus of offering career advice, Penelope writes about anything from checking her own vaginal mucus while in job interviews, to the domestic violence she suffers from her partner, whom she calls The Farmer. Mixed in with the career advice, it's an odd combination.
Penelope has Asperger's Syndrome, and says this is the reason she blogs about her most private stuff in such a straightforward and unabashed way. It's connected to not being aware of the social rules, she says. Penelope receives masses of comments to the majority of her posts, some people raging at her for the things she says.
While I often find Penelope's blogging very 'car crash TV' and sometimes difficult to read, at the same time, I incredibly admire her unmitigated approach and enjoy her exceptionally refreshing honesty.
We all have 'life issues' going on, but not all of us have the courage, even if we wanted, to blatantly display them in public. Penelope does this without fearing the loss of her professional image, and more to the point, while still maintaining her professional image. I have nothing but respect for this.
It's a breath of fresh air to read her site, and while she may be tolerating a domestic violence situation, this does not make her a weak woman. Regardless of how people feel about her situation, it doesn't stop her from being good at what she does.
Which is bloody good.
Maryam Namazie – supporting others to be free of religious rule
Years ago when I was considering becoming a humanist celebrant (hah yes indeed – and it's actually still something I'd like to do!), I was in touch with Iranian-born Maryam Namazie via the British Humanist Association, where she worked.
I didn't know much about her then but through my personal interest in having the right to a life without religion or God, and believing in the right to not have laws based upon religious dogma imposed upon us, I have learned more about Maryam and consider her work to be remarkable.
Maryam campaigns endlessly on secularism and women's rights violations related to Islam in particular. She is spokesperson for several organisations promoting freedom from religious doctrine, including the Council of Ex-Muslims in Britain, the One Law for All campaign against Sharia Law in Britain, and Equal Rights Now – Organisation against Women's Discrimination in Iran.
Presently living in the UK and from Tehran, Maryam had attended university in the US. Following graduation, she moved to Sudan to work with Ethiopian refugees and set up a covert human rights organisation. Here, she was forced to leave the country for her own safety after its Islamic government took power.
Her dedicated campaigning work has continued ever since, and she's now an internationally known broadcaster and speaker on human rights, as well as being very vocal about Sharia law, which she believes has no place in modern society and in Britain.
I am hugely aligned to Maryam's political ideals, and I think she puts across her thoughts and views on rationality in an accessible and sensible way. The strapline on her blog is 'Nothing is sacred' because she believes that religion, and Islam especially, should not be exempt from open criticism.
And I think she makes a strong argument.
Jane Goodall DBE – the woman who talks to the animals
If there's ever a woman's life that I envy and would love to emulate, it's that of Dr Jane Goodall, the chimp lady – primatologist, conservationist & environmentalist campaigner. The idea of spending 45 years studying wild chimpanzees in Tanzania to bring about the most comprehensive understanding of them that we have today? It would be my dream.
And I think Jane's great compassion, empathy and commitment to improving the relationship between human beings, animals and our planet is something we can all aspire to and learn from.
Jane's achievements in her field have been immense. She has founded a world-renowned institute in her own name, has had numerous films made about her work, has written countless books and has won zillions of highly-acclaimed awards.
She is one of the world's greatest anthropologists, to name but only one of the many 'ologist' titles that Jane has. Throughout her work and as former president of Advocates for Animals (now OneKind), she continues to assert how much she abhors laboratory research on animals and vivisection, and does not feel there is any necessity for it in science.
As well as being an animal ambassador and a firm believer in the protection of animals, rather than their abuse, Jane is an ambassador for humans. She is a UN Messenger of Peace and a keen environmentalist.
And according to a write-up on Huffington Post, the Disneynature film 'Chimpanzee' will be donating a portion of their opening week sales to the Jane Goodall Institute in order to help aid habitat restoration for threatened primates. That's pretty good.
It seems even though she's aged 78 this year, Jane carries on going from strength to strength in what she does. I'm bowled over by what she's accomplished.
Tori Amos – sings it like it is
If I had to pick the music of only one artist to take on a desert island with me, it would be that of Tori Amos. Her haunting, soul-piercing voice, and compelling and powerful lyrics ("So you can make me cum, that doesn't make you Jesus" for example!) have never failed to draw me in.
I can't ever tire of listening to her first album, Little Earthquakes. It's top of my list of all-time favourites and since first hearing it so many years ago, it has etched itself in my mind forever. I know every lyric when I play that album.
What I really love about Tori though is how she doesn't mind letting people know through her songs how fucked up she has been – to put it bluntly – over many parts of her life, especially her religious upbringing. Because of this she reaches out to people in immeasurable ways.
Especially, she has famously sung about surviving rape with the hard-to-listen-to 'Me and a Gun'; it was a particularly horrific attack for Tori but rape is something which affects so many women and yet is rarely dealt with in mainstream culture.
What is notable for Tori Amos though in this case is that she has gone though such a brutal experience and yet, quite literally, is singing on the other side. She made the choice to be a swimmer, not a sinker, and find strength through her music to recover and continue to shine in her life. And you have to admire her for that.
But it's not just the songs she writes, and how stunningly she sings them, I just adore her quirky, off-the-wall, character. She caused a huge stir when the album 'Boys for Pele' was released and inside the cover there was a picture of her breast-feeding a piglet. I like women that ruffle feathers.
Tori Amos isn't just a brilliantly talented pianist, singer, and songwriter – she's controversial, raw, and opinionated, but gentle, ethereal, dedicated and enviably gorgeous as well.
Dawn Gibbins MBE – the barefoot 'philanthropreneur'
I had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Dawn Gibbins several years ago when I was writing a trade feature for a regional business magazine that I regularly contribute to, and I interviewed her as founder of Flowcrete, a company located in the North West of England.
Dawn was incredibly helpful and keen to assist me in putting my article together, so to see how she has flourished since she sold Flowcrete in 2008, and how she has enabled those around her to flourish too, has been no surprise to me.
Since the sale of her business, Dawn has set up a homes flooring company called Barefoot Living, based on the principles of Feng Shui. But she's become more widely known for her appearance on the TV series Secret Millionaire, where she gave away a whopping £250,000.
After the original broadcast in a follow up show, Dawn reported that being involved in Secret Millionaire changed her outlook and direction in life. She now puts a lot of time, money and effort into charitable work, calling herself a 'philanthropreneur'.
But as well as appreciating Dawn for her benevolence and kindness to those in need, I also find her an outstanding female business role model. She has received several awards and accolades as a leading business woman, and continues to inspire people through her public speaking profile.
And as well, Dawn comes across as a down-to-earth, open-hearted northern lass, and she's also achieved a lot for her home town of Congleton, in Cheshire. How could you not like her?
What about you? Which women of today most inspire you and why?
I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts, and that includes from guys as well as gals!
Wow, what a list, inspiring women indeed, and very brave to defy backward social standards.
I had no idea about almost all of these women! What a great unique list of beautiful taste, thank you!
An interesting list, Andrea! I think you could expand on it by choosing more women throughout the world…both contemporary and historically speaking, first world and third. Could be the start of a whole new web site!
All truly inspiring women, and I agree with the comment that you could look at women from the third world, but also there are many women with inspirational lives who will never make it into print or on to a blog. They are our unsung heroines. In my 'day job' as a teacher of adults I come across women who battle against all odds to keep their lives together and achieve what those of us with an education and supported lives take for granted. Only this week I met a woman who had left her Northern Ireland home at the age of 18 with no education and no money. Her home had been the family farm which then, only in the mid 1970s was still making hay by hand. Her journey took her through working in London and family to a life in the North West of England where she has raised two well educated children. She is now embarking on her own education and is currently studying at Level 3 (A level standard) and has hopes to be a nurse. This is nothing to those on the world stage, but these women are also inspiring.
Great post. I was checking continuously this weblog and I am inspired! Very helpful information specifically the remaining section I care for such information a lot. I used to be looking for this certain info for a long time. Thanks and best of luck.
An interesting and powerful list of women. Jane Goodall would definitely be on my list too and as for Dawn Gibbs, I really remember her on secret millionaire and being touched by her compassion. I guess that's what makes a great woman, no a great person, for me, someone who's compassion shines through their work. I am also greatly inspired by the words of Marianne Williamson, "Your playing small doesn't serve the world," from "A Return to Love." Thanks for this and your thought provoking/inspiring blogg.
Hi Andria
Thanks for sharing your most inspiring women. Interesting to read what they mean to you. Good to get more and more discussion of inspiring women out there. At the moment I'm involved in a great women's leadership project in Nottingham which features inspiring women speakers talking about their lives and their personal journeys. Films of the speakers will soon be on the project blog which already has loads on many women's experience and project events and workshops http://womenleadingforachange.org
So pretty! <3

As your child begins to face down the many challenges of gaining admission to a private school, one challenge inevitably looms above the rest: the standardized test – often, the ISEE. Students will typically take the ISEE or the SSAT; occasionally they must take both.
Of course, plenty of preparation is necessary for these exams, from taking timed practice tests to completing homework drills to building a personalized test-taking strategy with a tutor. All of these tactics attempt to give students the confidence and knowledge of the test necessary, above all else. Fundamentally, students need to understand the structure of the ISEE in order to succeed.
First, remember that there are three levels of the ISEE for three different age groups.
Lower Level – Admission into Grades 5-6
Middle Level – Admission into Grades 7-8
Upper Level – Admission into Grades 9-12
Each of these levels face similar tests with similar rules. The primary difference between the levels is question-difficulty; the formats are nearly identical. Each test has five sections. The first four are scored, multiple-choice tests, while the final section is an unscored essay.
Let's break these down:
The Verbal Reasoning section, in the Middle and Upper Levels, gives 40 questions in 20 minutes. The Lower Level gives students 34 questions in the same time frame. While this works out to be the smallest time-per-question ratio throughout the entire test, timing on the Verbal Reasoning section is rarely a concern for students. This section tests vocabulary through sentence completions. There are no analogies, like on the SSAT.
The Quantitative Reasoning section runs through 37 questions in 35 minutes in the Middle and Upper Levels of the test; the Lower Level goes through 38 questions in the same amount of time. This is meant to be more conceptual than the Mathematics Achievement section, which is deemed to be more knowledge-based. In practice, the primary difference between the two math sections is that Q.R. features the Quantitative Comparison segment – a set of questions where students must decide which of two quantities is greater than the other. This, for many students, requires more practice, test prep, and strategizing than any other portion of the test.
The Reading Comprehension section, with 36 questions in 35 minutes in the Middle and Upper Levels (Lower level – 25 questions, 25 minutes), will be familiar to anyone who has seen a standardized test before. Of course, your child may not have seen a standardized test before, but they'll understand the pattern of this section soon. Short passages are followed by a handful of questions that focus on that passage. This can be a very tough section for many, but it's easy enough to predict and understand.
The Mathematics Achievement section, with 47 questions in 40 minutes in the Middle and Upper Levels (Lower level – 30 questions, 30 minutes), is a more traditional, math-based multiple-choice section. There is a strong emphasis on arithmetic, straightforward questions, and basic math knowledge. Geometry formulas, fractions, percentages, and simple algebra are all at the center of this section.
Finally, the Essay takes 30 minutes at each level. This is actually an unscored section; a photocopy of the student's essay is sent directly to their designated schools. The ISEE essays tend to be fairly mundane questions about school life – but don't write the Essay section off! It gives schools the chance to see what students can do under pressure and by themselves with the schools' own sets of criteria.
And then, your child emerges out of the test and back into the light of day! It's a long slog, but if the student knows what's coming, they can face it with great confidence and skill.

THE Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has recorded 400 fatalities out of 7,767 road traffic accidents in the first quarter of this year, RTSA director, Zindaba Soko has said.
Mr Soko said there was a reduction in the number of fatalities recorded over the years on the roads because of a number of measures that had been put in place by RTSA.
He said at a Press briefing in Chipata yesterday that in 2012, the country recorded 2,360 fatalities out of 28,247 road traffic accidents, while in 2013, a total of 1,851 fatalities were recorded out of 29,118 road traffic accidents.
"Several measures are being put in place to ensure that there is a reduction in the road fatalities because in 2012 we had 2,360 while in 2013 we recorded 1,851 fatalities," he said.
Mr Soko said although the road traffic accidents had increased, deaths recorded had reduced.
He said currently there were about 50 per cent of road accidents which were mainly being caused by the pedestrians and cyclists in the country.
He said the country was losing a lot of pedestrians and cyclists in the road accidents.
Mr Soko, who was flanked by deputy director Gladwell Banda, said RTSA was also in the process of rolling out fast track courts to all provincial headquarters by next year.
He said RTSA would soon sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the judiciary in order to continue prosecuting traffic related offences.

Marcus Chown and Govert Schilling continue to Tweet the universe
Comets were believed to be stars-with-tails, or hairy stars. Name comes from Latin for hair – coma. Can be visible for weeks in night sky.
Aristotle thought comets were vapours glowing in atmosphere. Tycho Brahe realised they were further away than the Moon and cosmic in nature.
Edmond Halley realised 1682 comet followed same orbit as comets of 1531 & 1607. All same object! Predicted return of Halley's Comet in 1758.
Comets travel around Sun in highly elliptical orbits. Periods vary wildly, from a few yrs to thousands of yrs. Halley's Comet takes 76 yrs.
Comets are porous chunks of ice/dirt few kms across. Primitive material left over from birth of Solar System, so scientifically priceless.
When close to Sun, ice evaporates, dust particles lost. Comet grows bluish gas tail and yellowish dust tail, pushed like windsocks from Sun.

HESA Internship Presentation
This past Friday, HESA: Higher Education Student Association hosted a professional development workshop.. The workshop focused on internships in higher education, and was led by Quintin Veasley, Arielle Weaver, and Alexandra White. It took place in the beautiful, spacious, and comfortable I-Care Center room of Ottawa East.
This was an excellent, informative, carefully thought-through and carefully organized workshop! Congratulations HESA! These learning experiences are invaluable, and those few of us who were in the room learned a lot. Quintin, Arielle, and Alex did a wonderful job discussing ways of acquiring Internships, and going through the experience in the most beneficial ways. All three applied for and acquired Internships this past summer: Quintin at Georgetown University (Washington D.C.), Arielle at Webster University (St. Lois, Missouri), and Alex at Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA). Their highly professional presentations, their eagerness to impart the importance of doing an Internship, and their desire to help were remarkable. They also brought undergraduate students who were interested in the Higher Education program, as well as 2 current student affairs professionals.
All of you should join HESA's future workshops. They are a rare opportunity to learn and get guidance. Their next workshop, is on November 8th and will have higher education professionals as guest speakers.

If I knew you were wanting replies from intelligent people I wouldn't have replied. I am pretty sure most of the intelligent 22 caliber center fire shooters were not shooting lead free bullets until they were forced into it within the last 18 months. What it comes down to is, if the only lead free bullet that shoots real accurate in a 1-12" or 1-14" twist barrel 22-250 is a 36 grain bullet, those 22-250 rifles won't ever be the rifle that they were while shooting 52 gr to 60 gr lead bullets.
. I would like to use another powder.. the barnes manual and the load data doesn't work for the most part is what I was told... I understand that most people go back to their usual loading information.. I know there are a lot of very intelegent people on this site regarding firearms and everything related to the topic.. I would like to pick their brains for info. I have learned a lot from this forum.. and am glad I found it.. the 36 gr stuff is much lighter than I was using

Maybee not. I have a friend at work that is shooting the 50gr VGs in a Rem. 700 22-250 that has a 1-14 twist.
I think you will be stuck on the 36 gr .You will need a 1-10 twist in order to shoot 50 gr and above.

It just so happen that I fired some test loads today at the range with my 22-250 using the 36 gr Barnes VG and H335. I got good results with my 2nd load so I didn't bother to shoot the others. I had a 5-shot group that measured .616 inches using 35.0 gr H335, Fed 210 primers, Win brass, w/ 2.350" O.A.L. The rifle was a Win Varminter SS bull barrel. Hope this helps.
COULD YOU HELP ME? I have a 22-250.. 1/14 twist I would like to load 36gr barnes varment gernade.. WHAT POWDER WOULD YOU SUGGEST and how many grains was using 760.. thinking either that or H335... NOT SURE... I HATE THIS NEW COPPER JUNK.. got my rifle just the way I wanted.. it is like starting over..The barnes reloading manual is worthless.. THANK YOU

Scott Craig of Records LA was our second guest DJ during this October's end of the month all vinyl shenanigans on Melting Pot, appropriately held on Halloween. As I've mentioned before, since opening it's doors almost exactly one year ago, Records LA has been and remains one of my favorite record stores in Souther Cali. Like Groove Merchant up north, there's a little bit of everything for people at this store, from the mega rare to the super solid. What sets Scott's store apart from others is the wealth of quality 45s, often at rock bottom prices.
For his guest spot on Melting Pot, Scott layed nothing but heavy funky treats on listeners during his 30+ minute guest spot, all on original 45 vinyl, with one exception…an honest to goodness Keb Darge dub plate of the already absurdly rare Pearly Queen 45 "Quit Jivin."
The story that Scott relayed to me was that at one point Keb Darge sold a lot of his rare records, but cut dub plates of many of them, only to subsequently depart with some of these Dub Plates too. As rare as the original is, I wonder how many of these Darge Dub Plates are out there!
The jams just kept coming after that, with a super rare private press Little Anthony (yes THAT Little Anthony) record with some super fresh vocalizing, M.D.L.T. Willis' Jackson 5 produced, "What's Your Game" and one of the oddest and illest funky tracks I've heard "Key To Your Love."
According to Scott this one is a mega rarity out of Detroit, recorded in the 1980s with some of the craziest sounding production I've ever heard on the drums and guitar…just insane production, like I mean that literally, was there a mentally unstable person at the board? When you hear those drums you'll see what I mean. Scott closed things up with some righteous soul sounds from Main Events, a 45 I'll definitely be on the look out for, in addition to all the rest as will you as soon as you heard this set.

MEDINA — Two Spencer village councilmen have filed to run for mayor.
Mayor Tom Ramey died earlier this month and the village charter gives candidates 10 days to file petitions to seek the office.
Village councilmen James Coleman, who is not up for re-election, and Danny DeRossett, whose term on Council expires this year, will compete in the Nov. 5 election.
Ramey died Aug. 16 after a battle with cancer.
Medina County Board of Elections Deputy Director Carol Gurney said the board has not yet printed the general election ballots, so it was easy for the new race to be added.
Coleman and DeRossett will need to have their petitions reviewed and approved by the board of elections at its September meeting.
DeRossett withdrew the petition he had filed to run for re-election to Council.
In other board of election news, the deadline for write-in candidates was Monday and 10 people filed for six offices.
Write-in candidates' names will not appear on the Nov. 5 ballot. While voters can write in any name they chose, only the names of candidates who have filed with the board of elections can be elected.
In several of the races, the write-in candidates will not face opposition.
In Seville, Dennis Barrington and Carol Carter will be write-in candidates for the four open Council seats. The only candidates who filed are incumbents Kathy A. Rhoads and Rick Stallard.
In Westfield Center, Wayne Noall will be a write-in candidate for the Board of Public Affairs. No one filed to run for the office.
In other races, the write-in candidates face opposition.
In Guilford Township, Steven Fulton, Dan Lloyd and Gene Morris will be write-in candidates for two open trustee seats. Incumbent Trustee Glenn Sheller in the only other candidate.
In Buckeye Schools, incumbent school board member Tracy Mattern withdrew his petition to be on the ballot and instead will run as a write-in candidate. Three seats are open on the board and three names remain on the ballot: incumbents Kenneth R. Barco and Jonathan Stahl, and Kim Cecelich.
In Lodi, Gregory Cepik and Robert Powell Sr. will be write-in candidates for Village Council. There already are five listed candidates on the ballot for four open seats: incumbents John Carpenter and Patricia A. Graham, along with Letha Mapes, Patricia K. May and Cecelia Sivard.
James Simonelli has filed to run as a write-in candidate for the Medina County Schools' Educational Services Center Board of Education.
Three candidates have filed for the three open seats on the board: Amanda Armstrong, of Seville; Janice Good, of Montville Township; and Daniel Shumaker, of Westfield Center.
Simonelli is a substitute teacher for Medina Schools. He said he became interested in the Educational Services Center after Medina school officials asked for the state to audit an ESC fund controlled by Superintendent Randy Stepp. Stepp since has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the audit.
Simonelli, who lives in the Highland school district, said he's interested in how the ESC distributes funds to schools and administers programs those schools rely on.
"Someone needs to step up to the plate and say we're going to run this agency with transparency, and we're going to make sure we evaluate all the proposals for spending that come in front of the board," he said.
