The Mongolian People's Republic is a large but very sparsely populated country in the heart of Asia. It is a landlocked country, bordered by Russia on the north and China on the south.
With an area of 1,565,000 sq km/604,000 sq mi, it is almost three times the size of France yet it has a population of a little over a million. In the west and north there are mountains rising to over 3,000 m/10,000 ft but there are extensive areas of flat or undulating plains which are desert in the south and steppe grassland in the north and east.
Mongolia has an extreme continental type of climate similar to that of south-central Siberia or Manchuria. Winters are long and very cold. There is a swift transition in April to a short, warm summer and an equally rapid return to the winter cold in October.
Rainfall everywhere is low; probably no more than 375 mm/15in-500 mm/20 in a year in the mountains and as little as 125 mm/5 in in the drier lowland parts. Winter is almost entirely dry, with occasional light snow, except in the western mountains where snow is heavier.
The wetter parts receive almost all their precipitation between June and September when moist air is able to penetrate the interior under the influence of the Chinese summer monsoon.
The table for Ulaanbaatar shows conditions over much of the country, but southern Mongolia receives even less rain.
Conditions during the short summer are quite pleasant, but during the long, cold winter very warm clothing is required and, when strong winds arise, wind chill can be very severe. On many days during the winter, however, winds are light, the sky is clear and there is abundant sunshine.

I have only been carrying for a few years now but I have become very concerned because of the way people in our country seem to be changing in recent years. I normally carry Glock 30, 10 rounds with extra mag and no round in the chamber (that's another question for another discussion).
It seems to me that people have become more overtly hostile towards one another these days. People seem to "fly off the handle" for no apparent good reason. As for myself, I've become much more cautious when I'm around strangers or visiting new places.
Just a couple of months ago, my daughter-in-law (36yrs old) was shopping at a Walmart (not 5 miles from my home). She was at the check-out counter with a full shopping cart and her one-yr old was trying to push the cart forward. It brushed up against a man in line in front of her and the man flew into a rage.
My daughter-in-law said the guy was of middle-eastern descent with a heavy arabic accent. I don't know if that's "vital" information for anyone, but the way things are going in this world, it is to me. He also had a woman with him, probably his wife, complete with Berka who never said a word through the entire ordeal.
He began berating my daughter-in-law and yelling and reaching for his leg like he'd been "rammed" very hard with the cart. He carried on this way for several minutes until the store manager finally came out to investigate. The angry man demanded to know my daughter-in-laws phone number and address because he was going to sue her, etc., etc.. Of course, my daughter-in-law did not give it to him and the store manager informed him that was not possible.
She said this lasted about 15 minutes or so and finally he left the store. The police were never called either. Should they have been? She waited approximately 15 minutes or so and then asked the store manager if he could provide an escort for her and her grandson to her car, which he did. She continued on her way without further incident but my concern is that there are probably many whackos out there that may have waited for her to come out. Maybe this guy did too, but was discouraged from acting out because of her escort.
What if this guy had been waiting out in the parking lot with a knife or a gun. I'm not sure how dedicated a Walmart employee would be to protecting my daughter-in-law and my grandson. I told her that if that ever happened again to call me and I'd be there. My son was out of town at the time.
Has this type of incident ever happened to anyone else while they were carrying? What happened? Did you call the police? It seems to me that the police might consider this an annoyance and not be too anxious to respond. Any LEO's care to respond?

|Volleyball welcomes TXST, UTSA
MOSCOW - The Idaho volleyball team will get its first look at a couple new Western Athletic Conference foes as it hosts Texas State and UTSA Sept. 27 and 29, respectively. Both matches start at 7 p.m. in Memorial Gym.
Texas State and UTSA were both in the Southland Conference a year ago, and had great success in that league. Texas State went 15-1 in conference play and won the SLC regular season and tournament titles. UTSA went 14-2 in the league, and fell to the Bobcats in the SLC championship match. Idaho's match Thursday night against Texas State will be the first against the Bobcats in program history. The Vandals are 1-1 all-time against UTSA, splitting matches in 1996 and 1999.
Texas State enters the week with a 6-8 overall record and a 1-2 mark in WAC play. The Bobcats are coming off a three-set loss to UTSA last week, and have a league-worst .116 hitting percentage in WAC matches.
The Roadrunners are 9-4 overall and 2-1 in the WAC entering the week, and will visit Seattle U on Sept. 27 before visiting Idaho. UTSA junior McKenzie Adams is the reigning WAC Player of the Week and has already won the award twice this season. She leads the conference with 4.91 kills per set for the season and ranks fourth with 3.82 digs per set. UTSA has won three straight matches entering the week.
The Vandals are coming off one of their best performances of the season, a 3-0 sweep at Utah State that gave the Aggies their first loss of the WAC season. Idaho hit a season-high .352 in that match while holding USU to just .096 hitting, the second-lowest for an Idaho opponent this season. Idaho junior Allison (Walker) Baker ranks second in the WAC in kills with 4.39 per set and points with 4.84 per set this season. Her nine double-doubles on the year are the second most of any player in the league. Junior Ashley Christman's .765 hitting percentage (13 kills, 0 errors, 17 attempts) against Utah State last week matches the highest of any player in the WAC this season.

Mir Expedition EO-03 crew of Musa Manarov and Vladimir Titov travelled to Mir aboard Soyuz TM-4 together with test pilot cosmonaut Anatoly Levchenko. Soyuz TM-4 maneuvered through orbits of 168 x 243 km, 255 x 296 km, and 333 x 359 before docking with Mir at 12:51 GMT 23 December. Levchenko returned to earth aboard Soyuz TM-3 together with the EO-2 crew. After nearly a year in space, Manarov and Titov returned on Soyuz TM-6. They undocked at 03:33 GMT 21 December 1989, but revised software installed as a result of the Soyuz TM-5 abort overloaded the spacecraft's computer. The landing planned for 06:48 was aborted. A backup software program was usedand the Soyuz orbital module was retained through retrofire. The crew finally landed safely on December 21, 1988 09:57 GMT, 180 km SE Dzhezkazgan.
Narrative (adapted from D S F Portree's Mir Hardware Heritage, NASA RP-1357, 1995)
Soyuz TM-4 with the EO-3 crew aboard arrived at Mir on December 23, 1987. Before departing Mir, the EO-2 crew of Romanenko and Alexandrov demonstrated use of EVA equipment to the EO-3 crew. The EO-3 crew delivered biological experiments, including the Aynur biological crystal growth apparatus, which they installed in Kvant. The combined crews conducted an evacuation drill, with the Mir computer simulating an emergency.
Soyuz TM-3 departed on 29 December and the crew settled in for their one-year mission. Soyuz TM-4 was flown to the front port of Mir on 30 December, clearing it for the next Progress freighter. Progress 34 arrived at Mir and remained docked from January 23-March 4, 1988. Meanwhile Titov and Manarov conducted part of an ongoing survey of galaxies and star groups in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum using the Glazar telescope on Kvant. The survey required photography with exposure times up to 8 min. Even small cosmonaut movements could shake the complex. This produced blurring of astronomical images, so all cosmonaut movements had to be stopped during the exposures.
On February 12 the cosmonauts began preparations for an EVA to replace and augment Mir's solar arrays. They tested their EVA suits February 23-25, and on February 26 they exited the station. The EO-3 crew removed one portion of the array Romanenko and Laveykin had assembled in June 1987. They replaced it with an eight-part array set which increased electricity output by 20% and also tested new solar cell materials and allowed telemetric monitoring of output. They also found time to wipe several of Mir's portholes, which had accumulated a dusty coating, and extensively photographed Mir's exterior. The EVA lasted 4 hr, 25 min.
On March 17 the cosmonauts studied the effects of noise produced by fans and other equipment on their living quarters as part of the Akustika experiment. During the same period, a Soviet spokesman stated that dust and odours on Mir bothered the cosmonauts.
Progress 35 arrived and remained docked to Mir from March 25-May 5, 1988. In late March and early April, Titov and Manarov installed and tested a new telefax system and unspecified equipment to improve communications between Mir and Earth. During May a particle the Soviets identified as a piece of space debris blasted a crater in a two-pane Mir viewport. The damaged area was 6-8 mm across.
Progress 36 arrived and docked to Mir's aft port from May 15-June 5, 1988. It was replaced with Soyuz TM-5 on June 9-17, 1988. This brought a Bulgarian cosmonaut to the station. Due to the Soyuz 33 failure, Bulgaria was the only east European Soviet ally not to have had a citizen visit a Soviet space station. Bulgarian cosmonaut-researcher Alexandr Alexandrov, (endlessly confused with the contemporary Soviet cosmonaut of the same name), used nearly 2,000 kg of equipment delivered by Progress freighters to conduct 46 experiments in the Shipka program during his stay. The visiting crew left aboard Soyuz TM-4, leaving the fresh Soyuz TM-5 as a lifeboat. The EO-3 crew flew this from the aft to fore port of Mir on June 18, 1988, leaving the aft port ready for the next Progress freighter.
On June 30 the EO-3 crew left Mir via one of the lateral ports for an unrehearsed EVA to replace Kvant's TTM shadow mask X-ray telescope. They had trained for the EVA by videotape sent up by the Progress 36 supply ship along with needed tools. They also spoke with cosmonauts who had rehearsed the repair in the hydrobasin in Zvezdny Gorodok ('Star City'). In addition to their suits, the EO-3 crew carried 40 kg of tools and equipment between them. Upon reaching the work site, they cut through 20 layers of thermal blanket to reach the Roentgen suite of instruments. The EVA ended unsuccessfully when a wrench needed to remove a clamp snapped. The EVA duration was 5 hr, 10 min.
Progress 37 arrived and remained docked to the aft port of Mir from July 20-August 12, 1988. In late July the Altair/SR relay satellite Cosmos 1897 was moved from its station at 95° E to 12° E to support the Buran shuttle test flight of November 14, 1988.
Soyuz TM-6 arrived on August 31, 1988. Its crew had a unique makeup, with a commander (Vladimir Lyakhov) who had been trained to fly a Soyuz TM-solo in the event a rescue ship needed to be sent to recover two cosmonauts from Mir, no flight engineer, and two inexperienced cosmonaut-researchers. One was Dr. Valeri Polyakov, who would remain aboard Mir with Titov and Manarov to monitor their health during the final months of their planned year-long stay. The other was Intercosmos cosmonaut Abdul Ahad Mohmand, from Afghanistan. Mohmand's experiment program was dominated by a series of observations of Afghanistan, called Shamshad. The Lyakhov and Mohmand left their fresh spacecraft docked to Mir as a lifeboat and returned aboard Soyuz TM-5. During the return to Earth, Soyuz TM-5 suffered a combined computer software and sensor problem, which delayed its re-entry by 24 hours.
Soyuz TM-6 was flown by the EO-3 crew from the aft to forward crew of Mir on September 8, 1988. Progress 38 then docked and remained at the aft port from September 12-November 23, 1988
On October 20 Titov and Manarov stepped outside Mir, leaving Polyakov in the Soyuz TM-6 descent module. The spacewalkers wore improved spacesuits which did not need an umbilical connection to the station. Using tools delivered by Progress 38, Titov and Manarov removed the old TTM shadow mask X-ray unit and successfully replaced it. They then installed equipment in anticipation of the upcoming Franco-Soviet EVA. The EVA lasted 4 hr, 12 min.
Soyuz-TM 7 arrived at Mir on November 28, 1988 on the Franco-Soviet Aragatz mission with French cosmonaut Jean-Loup Chretien (on his second mission to a Soviet space station) and Soviet cosmonauts Alexander Volkov and Sergei Krikalyov. This increased Mir's population to six. According to Krikalev, this was the 'worst-case scenario' as far as crowding on the station was concerned. Not only were there more cosmonauts than usual aboard Mir; the station was also full of equipment and life support supplies delivered by Progress freighters for the joint Franco-Soviet mission. The crowding was exacerbated because there was no docking port free for a Progress freighter. Therefore, the crew could not use a Progress as a 'pantry' or 'storage room' for the station. The large joint experiment manifest—mostly medical and technology experiments chosen to support the French-led European Space Agency Hermes shuttle project—strained Mir's electricity supply. The total mass of the experiments was 580 kg.
Preparations for the first EVA involving a non-Soviet/non-U.S. space traveller forced the cosmonauts to cut short a TV meeting with diplomats from 47 countries on December 8. On December 9 Chretien and Volkov depressurised the multiport docking adapter and clambered outside Mir. Chretien was first out. He installed handrails, then attached the 15.5 kg Enchantillons experiment rack to the handrails by springs and hooks. He also attached electrical wires leading from the rack to Mir's power supply. Enchantillons carried five technological experiments with applications to the Hermes shuttle program. Volkov and Chretien then assembled the 240-kg ERA experiment. They attached a mount to handrails on the frustum linking the multiport docking unit to the small-diameter portion of the work compartment. After resolving problems with cables linking ERA to a control panel inside Mir, they attached the folded ERA structure to a support arm on the platform. The structure was designed to unfold to form a flat six-sided structure 1 m deep by 3.8 m across. From inside Mir, Krikalyov commanded the structure to unfold, but to no avail. Volkov then kicked ERA, causing it to unfold properly. According to Krikalyov, taking the ERA outside helped relieve the crowding problems. The EVA lasted 5 hr and 57 min.
After the EVA, Titov and Manarov showed Krikalyov, and Volkov the peculiarities of living and working on Mir. On December 15, their 359th day in space, Titov and Manarov officially beat Romanenko's 326-day single-flight endurance record by the required 10%. On December 19, Soyuz TM-6 was powered up to prepare it for for descent.
Manarov, Titov, and Chretien boarded Soyuz TM-6 and undocked at 03:33 GMT 21 December 1989, but revised software installed as a result of the Soyuz TM-5 abort overloaded the spacecraft's computer. The landing planned for 06:48 was aborted. A backup software program was used and the Soyuz orbital module was retained through retrofire. The crew finally landed safely on December 21, 1988 09:57 GMT, under low clouds, in sub-freezing temperatures, 180 km SE Dzhezkazgan.
AKA: Okean (Ocean ); Soyuz TM-4 (Manarov, Titov Vladimir).
First Launch: 1987.12.21.
Last Launch: 1988.12.21.
Duration: 365.94 days.
Previously the meeting with Progress-36 had been planned for approx. 23 May and the arrival of the Soviet-Bulgarian mission by Soyuz-TM5 would originally occur towards the end of June. The preparations for the undocking and destruction of Progress-35 took place according to the original plans. During the last days of April the transfer of the last fuel from that s/c to the base block and the stowing away in Progress-35 of all which they wished to throw away or had to get rid of badly.
The report of the conclusion of those activities came from Manarov on May 4th during orbit 12693 from 1015-26 UTC. He reported the closing of the hatches and the unlocking of the safety locks against spontaneous undocking. So from this moment on ground control was free to undock the s/c and to put it on the destruction trajectory into the atmosphere. This had been done on May 5th and the Progress-36 burnt away over a silent part of one of the Oceans far outside our window.
Meanwhile other sources revealed that Progress-36 was on Baykonur ready for launch within a few days. As always the normal question: When? The launch-window for a successful flight to Mir is a small one. I did not need to try to find the answer with difficult calculations as the answer came from Manarov himself. In a conversation with TsUP on 8 May, during orbit 12757 from 1152-1202 UTC, the exact date was of the planned docking of Progress-36 with Mir was mentioned.
Manarov got orders for certain activities on 14 May and he made objections as this would be "docking day" and after the docking they possibly will be sleeping. Using the updated program for Mir predictions I found that the pass in which the docking operation will be in its final stage will be one with for us a negative elevation: orb. 12848, 0137-0141 UTC with highest elevation -1 degree. I suppose the docking will take place appr. 0149 UTC.
So the only possibility to be sure about the conclusion of the docking operation will be monitoring the next pass, during orbit 12846, from 0308-18 UTC, which I certainly will do. After the docking of Progress-36 to the docking port of Kvant they will have to do something to get that port free for the arrival of Soyuz-TM5 on June the 9th. They can try to finish operations (unloading, loading and destruction) with Progress-36 as soon as possible or put it to one of the side ports in the transition section, as the axial port of this section is still occupied by Soyuz-TM4. We will wait and hear!
So June the 7th the launch of the Soyuz-TM5 with captain Anatoliy Solovyov, the mechanic Viktor Savinykh and their Bulgarian guest Aleksandr Aleksandrov. The stand-in crew consists of: captain Vladimir Lyakhov, mechanic Andrey Zaytsev, and the Bulgarian Krasimir Stoyanov. They just started their final training in Baykonur.
There is more news: a lot of interesting events recently: problems with stinking water on board Mir and extra observations of the sand drifts from the Sahara to the north. They also spoke about the damage to the glass of portholes caused by micro meteorites for instance appr. 1 May 1988. These minuscule damages are being registered by a device with the abbreviation T.I.G.R. This makes it possible to send TV-images , photo's and halograms to the experts on Earth.
(The abbreviation stands for Television- Interference- Halographic-Registrator ) During a long conversation with -possibly- a scientific journalist in TsUP he gave a lecture about that device during the pass in orbit 12709 on May the 5th.
Greetings, and for radio amateurs, 73-s, Chris van den Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202
The plans for the launch of Soyuz-TM5 with 2 Russians and 1 Bulgarian are still unchanged: June the 7th 1988.
Greetings, and radio amateurs: 73-s,
Chris van den Berg, NL-9165/ A-UK:3202.
During the pass in orbit 12861 the transmitter worked (from 0154-0206 UTC) and now Titov reported the attitude changes and the fuel consumption to TsUP . For instance at 0202 UTC: Omega Ypsylon 2/10 Z 1/100 Fuel consumption 73.4, heading 06 Pitch 05. TsUP asked something about the horizon and Manarov told them 1.1. and 2.5. At 0203 UTC Titov reported that the Ypsylon gradually increased and he supposed that this meant a revolution (turning of Progress-36) TsUP confirmed this it "turned" and "returned" . As during previous dockings the Telemetry transmitter on 166.125mc did not work. After passing the horizon it Lasted another 7 minutes before the docking was completed (in my previous report I estimated this to be approx. 0214 UTC, so a nice result for this humble SWL) Again I missed the enthusiasm of their predecessors. During the flight of Romanenko the passes after dockings were joyful happenings. During the next pass they just had switched on their transmitter but did not say a word. The report about the "locks" (against spontaneous undocking) came in the pass in orbit 12863 from 0506-0516 UTC. The fact that. they received letters, papers and photographs was mentioned in a contact with a control ship from 0817--0826 UTC. During the last passes they had conversations with their relatives (with duplex TV). Gradually the windows will occur during night hours and so we will have to wait for a more active period when the first windows shift to the evening hours. That is necessary as on 7 June we wilt have to monitor launch and flight of Soyuz-TM with 3 men on board!
Greetings and radio amateurs, 73-s,
Chris van den Berg/NL-9165/A-UK3202.
SOYUZ-TM5: The last preparations are in progress now on Baykonur . If all goes well the take off will be on 7 June 1988 at 1405 UTC (1805Msc Time) The independent flight will last 2 days and my own calculation (so might deviate much or somewhat) tells me that the docking might take place on 9 June at 1538 UTC. While editing this story the commission did not yet appoint the crew which will fly. Yesterday they all were in good health and so probably the Soyuz will be flown by Solovyov, Savinykh and the Bulgarian Aleksandrov: if not so Lyakhov, Zaytsev and the Bulgarian will have to postpone terrestrial activities for 10 days. During the flight of Soyuz-TM5 there will be radio traffic on 121.750 Mc, (FM) so several ground services on West European airfields can expect funny sounds during there wok. During a previous occasion. Titov reacted on radio traffic of the Airport Rotterdam. (Until now they do not believe that!) After docking with Mir (Kvant port )the main channel for radio traffic will be 143.625 mc again. In Bulgaria there is a lot of enthusiasm and the Observatory of Stara Zagora will act as a sub control station.
Greetings and radio amateurs 73-s,
Chris van den Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.

14 weeks pregnant and not showing
I'm 14 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby, I never did have any morning sickness, but somehow I've managed to lose 10 lbs so far. I'm also not showing even in the slightest. Everymorning when I wake up I check the mirror to see if I'm showing yet, and I'm not. Has anyone else gone through this?? (Even though I've lost weight, I look alot heavier than usual somehow, but its definately not a "pregnancy" bump, I just look really wide on the sides of my stomach, but nothing in the middle where the baby should be)

Reviews for Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches
"This was absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe except that I used a pork picnic butt and trimmed it down from the fat. I was short of time so I used HI for 4 hours and then drained it off and added the homemade sauce for 30 minutes on LO. Loved it."
"I don't use as much hot sauce but my family loves this! They have asked for it numerous times or always make sure they around when I cook it."
"I absolutely love this. I've adjusted the amount of hot sauce somewhat, and do some things in different sequence but overall this is a FIVE star recipe. (I'm also going to try beer in stead of broth, although I don't know what to expect but it seems to be working very well also.)"
"I didn't like this at all, it was way too sweet for me, but some of my quests loved it"
"This recipe turned out picture perfect....and oh so yummy!!!Going to be using this a lot this summer!!"

Artist: Skrillex
Album: Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites (EP)
Genre: Electronic
Yeah, that's right.
Skrillex, Bare Noize, Foreign Beggars.
L.A., London, Dubai
'Bout to get rowdy right now.
Yeah. I'm a old time phantom, I make a next guy look like an actor.
Some a man a dem a g'wan like they matter, but when I touch mic I see the man scatter,
and they wanna talk big, but when it comes to big it they bout to get splatter,
So i tell them to relax yourself, go home to your mum and stop being a catta
Many guys wanna par, many guys lookin to take this thing far
Many guys lookin to be some big star, but soon enough them man about to get slappa
So theres no need for chatter, no need for anything cheap and thats that
Anybody making a ting to get smacked up, back up fam, now meet us round back.
When I touch mic I see the man scatta
scatta, as if i had a clutch on a magnum
You're just another pawn in my game, and I'm the God figure pouring the rain,
I'm a raw one, too much of a force to contain,
when I'm forced to repay for the thoughts of the brain,
by any means I'm putting pure splits to shame,
what I depict on script's too much for the man dem
and i keep calm when more shits a spray, and when im letting off as if I had a clutch on a magnum.
see you making at me in the fashion, most of these mc's are straight gassin,
yeah they getting paid on the JSA, but its something like the guy Don Draper from Mad Men.
bagging up while im racking hits by the minute, im sick with the lyrics, so you best be backin up
chatter with a little more flex to matter cos when i ratatat bars watch a bare man scatta
When I touch mic I see the man scatta
scatta, as if i had a clutch on a magnum x8
It's "When I touch MIC I see the MEN scatta" lol as in a microphone
I like the UN style rap. This is a new type of music for me. Dub-rap. i only listen to skrillex at the moment, but im about to buy a foreign beggars album
'Nuff said.
Check out my mashup of Scatta and Crank That by Soulja Boy!
whose mike? lol did he mean mic. xD
When I touch mic. I see the men scatta,
Scatta as if I had a clutch on a magnum.
best song ever created. PERIOD.
The drop is filthier than getting Herpagonnasyphylaids from a pregnant midget >_<.
I <3 Skrillex!!
I did not realise the scale of filth this song lies on.... DAMN! lol EPIC! xD
Well you just looked up the lyrics for it so there's gotta be vocals
why does chuck norris have to come in to everything
this song I the bomb.
Skrillex is a way better than chuck norris.
...He did... Every night before he goes to sleep :P
scatta bitches
basically, reflects the bossy attitude of mc's, their status. Also, skrillex mentions the fact that when its time to show what they can do, they run away, only the skillful can do something big.

Disputed Elections Post Bush v. Gore: Are Federal Courts Entering the Political Contest Thicket?
The article will first briefly provide a broad view over of our system in the United States for the resolution of disputed elections. The aspiration is that this will frame an examination of four election disputes post the Bush v. Gore decision. Three of the disputes are used because they arguably are the most widely followed and extensively contested election results since 2000: Washington Gubernatorial (2004), Minnesota Senate (2008) and Florida 13th Congressional District (2006). The final is examined because it may be the only significant decision using Bush v. Gore as precedential authority in an election contest or recount: Hamilton County, Ohio Common Pleas Court Juvenile Judge.
Some scholars have predicted that Bush v. Gore, "is not likely to be precedent for much at all." They believe Bush v. Gore would be strictly limited to the "'special instance' when there is a statewide recount ordered by a court and where it can be shown that there are diverse recounting procedures in various jurisdictions. In fact, the Court in Bush v. Gore stated that the "larger question about variability of election practice among local entities is not before the Court, so it did not render judgment on the matter."

Give your child the sense of comfort and security when you're not there! The Simplicity Hot Pink medium quilt is the perfect simple design that is both designed and constructed with your family in mind. The collection's name perfectly depicts the design and overall style of this quilt. Although it is designed to blend and match with the entire Simplicity Hot Pink collection of products, it can also act as the perfect addition to essentially any room and any existing theme.
The simple design consists of an ultra-soft minky center which is covered in the signature pink color. It is surrounded by three trim borders which are designed in white, a nearly matching pink, and a soft satin baby pink. The entire quilt uses a combination of various fabrics all of which are selected and assured to be of high quality. The combined ratio consists of 80 percent polyester, 10 percent cotton, and 10 percent satin.
The durability of the Simplicity Hot Pink medium quilt is so dependable that parents can pass it down from generation to generation without having to purchase another one for their next child. The overall dimension is big enough to satisfy the needs of infants and children, however it isn't too big, so it gives parents the ability to take it around anywhere they may go. The dimensions that make up the medium quilt are 49 inches in length and another generous 40 inches in width.
A favorite feature that parents love is that the Simplicity Hot Pink medium quilt is machine washable and can be tumble dried. It is recommended that the quilt be washed on a delicate or medium speed and only tumble dried on low or even extra-low heat. Ironing is not recommended and it is not necessary. The quilt is so durable that it can last through a countless number of washes without losing its soft touch. It is designed in the USA and made in China.

The Jacksonville Sharks (3-7) didn't do themselves any favors when it comes to the playoffs after losing to the Tampa Bay Storm (4-6) on the road, 56-35, on Saturday night.
The first ten minutes of the game set the tone. QB Randy Hippeard came back from injury for the Storm, and immediately found WR Joe Hills in the end zone for a 7-0 lead.
Jacksonville QB R.J. Archer struggled during his first drive, but found he could rely on London Crawford, who continued to show his ability as a #1 wide receiver. Overall communication with the other receivers was mixed, leading to Jacksonville going 0/2 on third down and ½ on 4th down, leading to no points.
The Sharks couldn't get too much pressure on Randy Hippeard, and he found Joe Hills again on 4th-and-2 for a 14-0 lead.
The Storm defensive line made R.J. Archer uncomfortable in the pocket, both hitting him and forcing him to slide and scramble for most of the night. Archer still made plays, finding WR Jomo Wilson deep and London Crawford in the end zone to get Jacksonville on the board.
Joe Hills continued his dominance, catching a long ball over Micheaux Robinson to set up a red zone opportunity. Jacksonville stiffened for three downs, but old foe T.T. Toliver reached over the goal line to score on 4th down. Head coach Les Moss unsuccessfully challenged the call.
Down 21-7 early in the second quarter, things started to go from bad to worse for Jacksonville. R.J. Archer was nearly intercepted, but London Crawford bailed him out with a 16-yard run into the red zone, setting up an Archer TD pass to Jeron Harvey.
Tampa Bay answered quickly and unusually, with TE Alfred McCullough making his first catch of the season, then rumbling down the sideline for his first touchdown of the season. Jeron Harvey needed only three catches to put the Sharks back within seven, but that's as close as it would get for Jacksonville.
The Storm had their own version of the "Miracle Minute" to close out the first half. With 32 seconds left, Randy Hippeard started a crucial drive. Jacksonville pressured him, and DE Jerry Turner sacked him on second down. Nevertheless, he found T.T. Toliver again. Toliver crashed into the boards on a 26-yard TD catch with one second left in the half. That one second was just enough time for a kickoff, and Jomo Wilson couldn't find the ball after it bounced off the iron. Tampa Bay pounced on it in the end zone, and went into the locker room with a 42-21 halftime lead.
Whatever energy Jacksonville had left coming out of halftime, it disappeared on the first play of the third quarter. London Crawford suffered a horse collar tackle by Rod Issac, and left the game due to a knee injury.
Jacksonville had to piecemeal their offense the rest of the game thanks to that and a Terrance Smith ankle injury. This meant backup QB Alex Carder saw time at wide receiver, and Cornelius Lewis caught his first ball at TE, getting into the end zone to bring the Sharks back within 14.
That's as close as Jacksonville would get the rest of the night. KR Michael Lindsey nearly scored on the kickoff return, and Joe Hills scored on the next play. Tampa Bay LB Dexter Jackson, in the game at fullback, scored on a sweep following an R.J. Archer interception off the net, his first pick in four games.
Despite trailing 56-28 to start the fourth quarter, Jacksonville didn't wave the white flag just yet. Alex Carder nearly scored on the first play, but the Sharks got stood up at the goal line. DB Micheaux Robinson intercepted Randy Hippeard to give Jacksonville life, and Jeron Harvey scored on fourth and goal for the final tally of the night.
The game didn't end without interest, as Alex Carder went from catching passes to throwing them, completing his first pass to LB Charlie Hunt, who also played wide receiver before the night was done.
R.J. Archer had a less than stellar night, completing 27 of 48 passes for 271 yards, five touchdowns, and the lone interception. Jeron Harvey was the man of the night at receiver, with game highs in catches (12), yards (114), and touchdowns (3).
On the other sideline, Randy Hippeard completed 21 of 29 passes for 255 yards, six scores, and his lone interception. While Joe Hills led the way with three scores, T.T. Toliver led the team with 81 yards from seven catches.
Micheaux Robinson led the defense with 8.5 total tackles, but Storm DB Jean Francor was king of the night with 10.5. Tampa Bay's secondary also defended 10 total passes, with James Harrell leading the way with four.
Jacksonville will have a lot to think about over the next two weeks, as they go into their second and final bye week of the season. Their next game will be June 7 at home against the Spokane Shock.

The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) completed on August 2 the second review of São Tomé and Príncipe's economic performance under a three-year Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) arrangement. The completion of the review, which was undertaken on a lapse of time basis1, enabled the release of an amount equivalent to SDR 0.4 million (about US$600,000), bringing total disbursements under the arrangement to SDR 1.27 million (about US$1.9 million).
The Executive Board approved the three-year arrangement on August 1, 2005 (see Press Release No. 05/187), for a total amount of SDR 2.96 million (about US$4.4 million) to support the government's economic program for 2005-2007.

The lead institution was Cardiff University. Staff at Cardiff University and the National Library of Wales were responsible for digitisation, cataloguing and web site creation. Dr A. Cynfael Lake (Swansea University Department of Welsh), Prof. Peredur Lynch (Bangor University School of Welsh) and Prof. Andrew Prescott (University of Wales Lampeter Librarian) acted as academic advisers to the project, together with Dr E. Wyn James (Cardiff University School of Welsh), who is also Editor of the Welsh Ballads Website.
Project Co-ordinator: Peter Keelan, Head of Special Collections and Archives (SCOLAR)

A Welsh Ballads Digitisation Seminar was held on Monday, 14 September 2009, at the Arts and Social Studies Library, Colum Drive, Cardiff University, featuring a range of speakers on issues relating to ballads and digitisation.
In addition to promoting the current project and exploring possible future developments, one aspect of the seminar was to place the Welsh ballads digitisation project in the context of similar projects, notably those carried out by the National Library of Scotland and the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. In that respect this Welsh digitisation project may be regarded as one which completes a network of British ballad digitisation projects.

According to an April 28 report from Fansided, Wade Barrett takes on Rob Van Dam tonight on WWE Monday Night Raw. Whoever wins the clash between Van Dam and Barrett advances to a title fight against WWE Intercontinental Champ Big E. Barrett and Van Dam are both former WWE title holders, so it's unclear at present time who is more likely to win.
Barrett has been getting a huge push lately from WWE Universe, especially since his Bad News Barrett gimmick went over well with fans. However, Van Dam is back in action for the first time in years, and WWE supporters absolutely would like to see him back as a world champion. Van Dam is known for his high-flying techniques, which have made him a fan favorite through the years.
Also on tap for tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, Daniel Bryan returns for the first time since his father passed away. Bryan was granted a break from the WWE after his father passed less than a month ago, and he was written off the script for last week's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.
Now that Bryan is back in action, its expected that WWE head honcho Stephanie McMahon will apologize to him for the beating Kane gave to him a couple weeks ago. In other matters, tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw will feature at least two celebrity guests.
WWE Monday Night Raw, which emanates from the Scottrade Center in Saint Louis, will have Hugh Jackson as special guest host, plus an appearance from WWE legend Ric Flair. Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw will be the last before the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, so the WWE has lots of storylines to tighten up before that event.
Also on tap for this evening, John Cena is expected to continue his feud with Bray Wyatt, and The Usos will take on Curtis Axel and Ryback in a tag-team championship match. WWE Divas champ Paige will also likely defend her title this evening. WWE Monday Night Raw airs at 8 p.m. on the USA Network.
In a match that won't air on television, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, and the Shield take on Batista, Randy Orton and the Wyatt Family. That bout will only be viewable by the crowd on hand in Saint Louis. Bryan and Orton are expected to be on the televised portion of the evening as well.

Final Stats | Quotes | Notes
By KEN PETERS
AP Sports Writer
PASADENA, Calif. - Drew Olson threw three of his four touchdown passes to tight end Marcedes Lewis and UCLA rolled to a 37-17 victory over Arizona on Saturday.
The win was the fourth straight by the Bruins (4-1, 2-0 Pac-10) after ending a six-game losing streak that included a five-game slump to end last season.
UCLA moved in front to stay when linebacker Chris Horton blocked Danny Baugher's punt and the ball bounced through the end zone for a safety just 1:45 into the game.
The Bruins opened a 23-3 lead by halftime on the way to beating Arizona for the fourth time in their last four meetings.
UCLA's defense, led by Spencer Havner, limited Arizona (1-4, 0-2) to Nick Folk's 41-yard field goal in the first half.
The Wildcats, however, were able to run the ball on UCLA's young defensive line, vulnerable so far this year.
Arizona's Mike Bell gained 134 yards on 21 carries, and backup tailback Chris Henry scored on runs of 1 and 2 yards in the third quarter.
The Wildcats held UCLA's Maurice Drew, averaging 167.25 yards rushing a game this year, to 22 yards on 11 carries.
Olson took up the slack by completing 17 of 25 passes for 234 yards. He connected with Lewis on scoring plays of 16, 12 and 18 yards.
The four touchdown passes were a career high for Olson. Lewis had career highs in receptions (six), yards (99) and TDs.
The powerful and agile 6-foot-6, 255-pounder made a circus catch on his first touchdown and bulled his way through a pack of defenders for the second.
On Lewis' first touchdown, he went up in the back of the end zone, fought with safety Lamon Means for the ball, then juggled it before he fell forward over Means, finally clutching the ball just inside the back line.
Later in the second quarter, he caught an Olson pass around the Arizona 3 and bounced backward a couple of yards when he collided with cornerback Antoine Cason. Lewis stumbled but put his hand down to keep from falling, then surged forward.
As he churned his legs, two, then three, then four defenders tried to push him back. Finally, in what looked like a rugby scrum, he pushed across the goal line.
His third TD reception, an 18-yarder in the third quarter, was routine - a crossing pattern where he was in the open.
Although they could run the ball, the Wildcats lacked offensive balance. Kris Heavner went 13-of-24, but for only 93 yards. He threw one interception.
The Bruins, whose lone defeat this year was a 31-20 loss to Oklahoma State in the season opener, took command early.
After getting the safety on the Wildcats' first possession, the Bruins drove 71 yards to score on their first series, with fullback Michael Pitre turning a screen pass into a 28-yard touchdown play.
The Wildcats, in their first season under coach Mike Stoops, have lost three in a row. They opened with a 21-3 victory over Northern Arizona, then lost close games to Wisconsin (9-7) and Washington State (20-19).

Degrees, Departments & Course Descriptions
The following courses are offered by the Graduate School of the University of Arkansas. Each course is identified by a four-digit number, which carries the following information:
The first three digits identify the course, the first digit denoting course level. The fourth digit indicates semester credit hours. A course starting with a 4 in this catalog is dual-listed as an undergraduate course; a course starting with a 5 is generally masters level work, and a course starting with a 6 is generally doctoral-level work.
The letter V is used in place of the last digit for those courses in which credit is variable, the minimum and maximum credit being given in parentheses after the course title.
A suffix to the course number will provide further identification. An L denotes a laboratory. Other suffixes may be found in the class schedule.
As nearly as can be determined in advance, the semester in which each course will be offered is designated by a symbol in parentheses placed immediately after the course title.
- Courses marked (FA) will be offered in the fall semester.
- Courses marked (SP) will be offered in the spring semester.
- Courses marked (SU) will be offered during one or both terms of the summer session.
Where there are prerequisites to a course, these are noted following the description. Students are urged to check prerequisites before enrolling in any course, and to consult their advisers whenever there is any question of prerequisites having been satisfactorily completed.
NOTE: Graduate degrees are not offered in each of these fields. For degrees offered, see the Fields of Study Index.
Changes in Catalog Information
This catalog contains information that should be accurate at the time of completion. However, regulations, fees, programs of study, and individual courses are regularly revised, and the catalog information is, thus, subject to change.
Students are expected to keep informed concerning current regulations, policies, and program requirements in their fields of study and must meet all requirements of the degree programs in which they are enrolled. Courses that are modified or added to a curriculum and that are incorporated into the curriculum at a level beyond that at which a student is enrolled may become graduation requirements for that student. Courses that are incorporated into the curriculum at a level lower than the one at which the student is enrolled are not required for that student.
The most current information, including a full listing of all Graduate School policies, may be found on the Graduate School Web site at www.uark.edu/grad.

Its temples saw the development of the prang - a tower-sanctuary in the shape of a corn cob, which symbolises the mythical axis of the world (Mount Meru) - and of statues which are delicate and highly expressive in style. Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahatat is typical of this style and also shows some European influence, reflecting the opening to the West brought about by King Phra Narai in the 17C.

Oh my.
Well, this is one way to celebrate having the most viral video ever and/or ignore the loads of criticism: Jason Russell, a co-founder of Invisible Children, the group behind the Kony 2012 campaign, was reportedly arrested last night after "he was found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something." The 33-year-old was allegedly seen "in various stages of undress, running through traffic and screaming," and TMZ says he was wearing "Speedo-like underwear," but "eventually removed the underwear and began to make sexual gestures."
A statement from Invisible Children blames the incident on "exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition."
Russell's organization skyrocketed to international prominence last week with a controversial online documentary about targeting the Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony. The nonprofit's website gives Russell the nickname "Radical" and calls him the group's "grand storyteller and dreamer." He is "a proud papa" to two children and "wants to have nine more children with his beautiful wife." Oh my. The publicity just keeps coming.
TMZ has video of Russell "pounding his fists in anger and screaming maniacally."

July 18, 2012 Lake Junaluska NC
The Rev. Dr. Kenneth H. Carter Jr. of Waynesville, N.C., has been elected bishop by the Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church.
Carter, 54, superintendent of the Smoky Mountain District of the Western North Carolina Annual (regional) Conference, was elected July 18 by jurisdictional conference delegates. On Sept. 1, he will become one of 13 active bishops in the Southeastern Jurisdiction, which includes 15 annual (regional) conferences. Delegates of the 2012 jurisdictional conferences will elect a total 11 U.S. bishops, 5 of which will come from the Southeastern Jurisdiction. Carter is the second elected bishop of the 2012 conferences.
A consecration service for the new bishops will be held at 10:00 a.m. July 20 in Stuart Auditorium at Lake Junaluska Assembly.
An episcopal assignment committee will consider where Carter, the other bishop-elects and the other active bishops will serve for the next four years. Their assignments will be announced before the consecration service on July 20.
Endorsed by the Western North Carolina Conference, Carter was elected on the third ballot, receiving 271 of 438 votes cast.
A native of Georgia, Carter received a Bachelor of Science from Columbus College, a Master of Divinity from Duke Divinity School, a Master of Arts from the University of Virginia, and a Doctor of Ministry from Princeton Seminary.
In a brief word to the conference Carter said, "I know it's a gift, and it's not really a gift to me, but a gift to me for the sake of the Church, the mission of the Church, the renewal of the Church, and the unity of the Church. I ask for your prayers and I thank you."
Carter, who currently serves as the superintendent of the Smoky Mountain District, has been a delegate to five Jurisdictional Conferences and three General Conferences and has served as the chairperson of the Western North Carolina Conference delegation for both conferences in 2012.
Carter and wife, Pam have two daughters, Liz, a Chinese translator in Washington, D.C., and Abby, a recent graduate of Huntingdon College, a United Methodist-related institution, in Montgomery, Ala.
He is the author of seven books with topics that range from stewardship and spiritual gifts to baptism and Methodist practices. His eighth book, on intercession, was published by the Upper Room in 2012. Dr. Carter has preached and taught in more than 10 annual conferences in the Southeastern Jurisdiction alone and countless other conferences in each of the five jurisdictions of the United States, as well as annual conferences in Liberia and Haiti.
Carter was ordained a deacon in 1983 and an elder in 1986; and has served a variety of appointments prior to his appointment to his election to the episcopacy.
A United Methodist bishop in the United States is elected for life and, although eight years is the standard term for a bishop to serve in an episcopal area, it is not unusual for a bishop to be assigned to one area for 12 years for "missional reasons."
Bishops are charged by the church's Book of Discipline to "lead and oversee the spiritual and temporal affairs" of the church and to "guard, transmit, teach and proclaim, corporately and individually, the apostolic faith as it is expressed in Scripture and tradition, and, as they are led and endowed by the Spirit, to interpret that faith evangelically and prophetically."
A jurisdictional conference has the following power and duties:
• To promote the evangelistic, educational, missionary and benevolent interests of the church and to provide for interests and institutions within their boundaries.
• To elect bishops.
• To establish and constitute jurisdictional conference boards as auxiliaries to the general boards of the church.
• To determine the boundaries of annual conferences.
• To make rules and regulations for the administration of the church's work within the jurisdiction.
• To appoint a committee on appeals.
The United Methodist Church was created in 1968 by a merger of the Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist churches. Methodists elected their bishops at one national gathering until 1940, when the jurisdictional system was instituted. Bishops in the EUB church were elected at one national gathering until 1968.
Skyler Nimmons is the Communications Specialist for the Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church.

STANFORD, Calif. - The Stanford versus Santa Clara softball game, originally scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, has been moved to Wednesday, March 28 due to inclement weather in the Bay Area. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Smith Family Stadium.
The Cardinal (25-6) is looking to snap a three-game skid as it was swept by California last weekend to open Pac-12 Conference play after an 11-day break for finals. Santa Clara is 5-24 overall and went 1-3 last weekend at a tournament in Riverside, Calif. Twelve of the Broncos' losses have come by two runs or less this season.
Stanford is led offensively by rookie Hanna Winter and junior Jenna Rich. Winter leads the Pac-12 with 50 hits on the season and has a team-best .442 batting average. Rich is hitting .430 with 43 hits, including 10 doubles, three triples and four home runs. She also leads the squad with 38 RBI, ranking fourth in the conference.
In the circle, junior pitcher Teagan Gerhart is 20-3 overall, leading the Pac-12, and has tallied 125 strikeouts in 24 appearances. Freshman Nyree White is 5-3 overall with a 2.64 ERA and has 46 strikeouts while issuing just six walks on the year.
Leading SCU is junior Jamie Wallis with 29 hits (.363 batting average), a .452 on-base percentage and a .463 slugging percentage. Senior Briana Knight and sophomore Kelly Scribner have combined for 10 doubles, six home runs and 35 RBI on the year.
Stanford continues Pac-12 play this weekend on the road in Tucson, Ariz., against No. 17/19 Arizona. The teams will play a three-game series, March 30-Apr. 1 at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Blogging Portlet
By jtb on Feb 12, 2007
I just committed Blog Portlet to the Portlet Repository java.net project. Blog portlet allows portal users to manage their weblog from a portal page. It depends on the weblog implementing (and turning on) an Atom Publishing Protocol endpoint.
The intent is not to replace the native weblog user interface, but rather to provide a simplified one that allows users to perform the most common management operations from their portal page: post, edit, delete.
In addition, the portlet has a simplified interface for creating weblogs and weblog users. This feature depends on the AAPP admin interface in Roller - meaning, you have to point the portlet at a Roller weblog server.
There are a couple of caveats at this point ...
- The portlet is really a JSF application, and therefore depends on JSF Portlet Bridge. While this is called out in the portlet's pom.xml, the dependency is not available from any repository. Therefore, to build Blog Portlet, you need to get and build the JSF Portlet Bridge and populate the dependency into your local repository. Hopefully this will change in the near future.
- While the portlet is setup to use FCKEditor to create and edit weblogs, FCKEditor is also not available as a dependency. So, by default, FCKEditor won't be there, and you'll get a standard ugly text area. To make the portlet is FCKEditor, get the "fckeditor" directory into the web application. You could do this after you deploy the web app by just dropping the files into the right place, or you could do it in the build environment by copying ther directory into src/main/webapp. Or, alternatively, it should be easy to plug in whatever Javascript editor you like by making some small changes to the portlet.
- The portlet is only tested with Roller's APP implementation. APP is new and somewhat unstable, so I hope folks can help out and get this tested / working on other APP implementations.
- Documentation is slim. I hope to either upload some documentation, or point to the Sun Portal Server 7.x documentation for the portlet that should apply 98% to the open source version. This documentation is not yet posted to docs.sun.com however. In the meantime, if you have questions, please post comments, or better yet, post to the Portlet Repository user mailing list and I will be glad to help you out.
Have fun!
