This course offers Heidelberg students a unique opportunity to serve one of the neediest communities in the United States by providing a week-long summer enrichment program for its children. Before traveling to the border in June, the class meets once a week throughout the Spring semester to study the social and economic challenges faced by residents of the colonias (immigrant communities) of South Texas and to prepare activities – crafts, music, songs and games – to do with the children of the community during our stay there. Each day on the border, we spend two hours working with the younger children in the morning, and two hours with the teens in the afternoon. Our hosts for this experience are the women of ARISE, a grass-roots community organization.
ARISE has community centers in three colonias along the U.S/Mexico border in South Texas, and through these centers the women provide many valuable services to their neighbors. For example, ARISE offers classes in "active parenting" and driver's license exam preparation, a diabetes support group, English classes, transportation for medical appointments and a summer enrichment program for the children of each colonia.
The ideal student for this trip ...
... loves children and has lots of patience for extremely hot, humid and non-luxurious conditions. (No whiners, please!) The ideal candidate for this trip also has an open mind to new experiences and to people who have had very different life experiences than yours. Because we will be in an immigrant (mostly Mexican) community, some knowledge of Spanish is a definite plus.

our story
Bon Secours Diabetes Treatment Center, often referred to as DTC, opened in 1997 at St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond as part of an initiative to provide comprehensive, high quality, education and hospital services to the growing number of Richmond area residents affected by diabetes.
The program began with one site and three clinicians and has expanded to include five locations and more than 15 clinicians. We offer education at all Bon Secours Richmond hospital sites - Memorial Regional Medical Center, Richmond Community Hospital, St. Francis Medical Center and St. Mary's Hospital. We also provide education at off-site locations such as Colonial Heights to serve communities that otherwise may not have access to diabetes education.
DTC provides two services - outpatient diabetes self-management education and inpatient glycemic management.
- The outpatient program has upheld its American Diabetes Association Recognition for diabetes education since 1999. This "Recognition" signifies that our program promotes quality education for patients with diabetes, follows an evidence-based set of guidelines and requirements, stays current with innovations and discoveries in diabetes treatment, and provides ongoing follow-up to patients who participate in the program.
- The inpatient program involves collaboration and partnership amongst physicians and clinicians to best meet the needs of our patients with diabetes. Our services are designed to improve outcomes and safety for our patients.
Over 400 physicians refer their patients to DTC, recognizing it as a leader in diabetes care and education. Since the program's inception, DTC has helped tens of thousands of patients learn about their diabetes and gain better control to prevent complications.
Bon Secours DTC places tremendous importance on serving our community by participating in events such as: occupational and corporate health fairs; American Diabetes Association and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walks; senior education programs; and media interviews on NBC, National Public Radio and Comcast television.

In the battle of the fandoms, Stephen Colbert wields a mighty force. Even in space.
Fans of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" have marched forward on his behalf many times before. All he has to do is casually mention how nice it would be to have something — or, more accurately, everything — named after him to get hundreds of thousands of his eager followers swinging into vote-box-stuffing action. Colbert has already had his name slapped on a minor league hockey team mascot (Steagle Colbeagle, for the Saginaw Spirit), a trapdoor spider (Aptostichus stephencolberti), a Ben & Jerry's flavor ("Americone Dream"), any number of animals in zoos and scientific studies, and even a Virgin America jet ("Air Colbert").
His latest conquest? Node 3 on the International Space Station, thanks to the naming contest for it that NASA just held which included a write-in option, something they now may be regretting. The first two nodes are named "Unity" and "Harmony" and until very recently it was assumed that the third would become "Serenity." Not only does it fit the theme, but "Serenity" is the name of a spaceship in Joss Whedon's beloved-but-canceled TV show Firefly and the subsequent movie Serenity. And the early voting numbers confirmed overwhelmingly that no one is better at organizing online campaigns than Joss Whedon fans.
Except for the Colbert Nation.
"Colbert" won with over 230,000, beating "Serenity" by over 40,000 votes. Another write-in suggestion took third ("Myyearbook," with 147,637) and "Gaia" came in fourth with 114,427. But NASA may not be a democracy. NASA's human space flight chief, Bill Gerstenmaier, appeared evasive about Colbert's ascendency on Colbert's show on March 10. "Well, we're going to have to go think about that," he said.
"That's NASA's problem," Colbert said to him. "You guys think too much."
|The Colbert Report
|Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
|Space Module: Colbert – William Gerstenmaier
The poll's rules stated from the beginning that NASA would not be bound by the winning votes. And early responses from the agency imply that they're leaning away from it, possibly even naming one of the station's new space toilet after Colbert instead.
Now, there are few more loyal "Firefly" fans (also known as "Browncoats") than me. I've supported the show and the movie and the fan initiatives and the annual "Can't Stop the Serenity" charity showings.
But, NASA, the people have spoken. If you wanted "Serenity" you should have named it "Serenity" and announced it, maybe brought Whedon and some of the Firefly actors down to smack it with a bottle of Cristal and a nice photo op. When you hold a contest in the hopes of getting public attention, you really can't complain when you actually get some.
And, frankly, you need it. It's all well and good to bond with fans who already support you but you could really use the shot in the arm this would give you with the non-science-fiction-fan public, which is most of it. You bring Colbert down for the naming ceremony, you'll get more positive attention than you've gotten for 30 years.
"Unity," "Harmony" and "Colbert." Suck it up NASA, and paint it on. You can make it up to the Browncoats by giving us one of the new Orion spacecraft in 2014.
They have learned a vital lesson, though. Monday NASA began the final stage of their "Name the Mars Rover" contest. There is no write-in option.

Super-talented Patrice O'Neal has an estimated net worth of $500,000. Considered the comedian's comedian, O' Neal generated his net worth from being a stand-up comedian, radio presenter and actor.
In his early twenties, O'Neal's comedy career took a flying start in his hometown in Massachusetts. Since then, he made his first appearance on Apollo Comedy Hour. O'Neal then made an appearance on Showcase at the Apollo and Friday Night Videos. He also became a regular on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn on Comedy Central. However O'Neal suffered the first blow in his career. The comic made a move to LA in the late 90's, in pursuit of a television and film career. He even confessed that he'll tap dance and tried to conform to Hollywood's high requirements. Despite his efforts to break into Hollywood, O'Neal was unsuccessful and the strain was beginning to show. He said of his dark moment of his life "if I have a gun, I would have shot myself" O'Neal came back fighting when he moved to the Big Apple in 2002 and became a regular guest on The Opie and Anthony radio show. O'Neal would occasionally step in as the co-host. By 2006, O'Neal was the host of a relationship advice call-in show called The Black Dr Phil (on XM Satellite Radio). Aired periodically on Saturday nights, the show came to an abrupt end due to the station's budget concerns. The following year, O'Neal started his own internet show called The Patrice O'Neal Show – Coming Soon!
Along with the radio presenting, O'Neal did a One Night Special for HBO in 2005 and it was not after that he became the host for VH1's Web Junk 20. After a couple of seasons, O'Neal left the show, expressing that the 'audience was very different from his own.'
O'Neal performs in comedy clubs in New York, making headline appearances at Comix Comedy Club and Caroline's. In February of this year (2011) O'Neal did his first hour long special, Elephant in the Room, aired on Comedy Central.
This week (27 October 2011) it was revealed that O'Neal, a life-long diabetic, suffered a stroke last week. His condition is unknown. Charlie Sheen, comedians Colin Quinn and Jim Norton are amongst O'Neal's well-wishers.
On November 29th, 2011 Patrice O'Neal died from complications stemming from the stroke he suffered in October. He was 41 years old.

EFF15: Why Defend Digital Freedom?
In answer to that question, I composed the ditty below, inspired by my recent trip to Defcon. Ahem:
Lawyers, Geeks, and Money
(With apologies to Warren Zevon).
Well, I hacked into the Cisco
The way I always do
How was I to know
They'd call in CCIPS, too
I was talking at Black Hat
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, geeks, and money.
Jen, get me out of this
I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the feds and Cisco
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
Now I'm pwned by the injunction
I'm a desperate geek
Send lawyers, geeks, and money.
A hacker up the creek
Any relationship between this post and real life is merely coincidental. After all, who would really try to suppress open and honest discussion about a security flaw through legal action?

text: T N Seetharam or Gouribidanur Seetharam is a prominent Kannada film and TV serial director, actor and writer. He has become a cultural icon in Bangalore, India, through his work in several art mediums. Mr. Seetharam has written, directed, and produced plays, movies, and top-rated television series which have attracted millions of viewers. T.N. Seetharam was associated with the famous director Puttana Kanagal and had written scripts for his movies. He also has made appearances as an actor in movies. He was noticed when he started directing TV serials for Doordarshan. Fame and recognition came when he directed Mayamruga, a daily Kannada serial which stood apart for its take on reality. Mayamruga has seen a DVD avatar, which probably is the first for a Kannada serial. He then went on to direct Kamanabillu which was the first serial on a satellite TV to be widely watched. The most successful phase for him has been his association with ETV Kannada which resulted in famous serials like Manvantara and Muktha. He has acted in most of his serials and he likes to play the character of a lawyer who comes to the rescue of the oppressed. Mr Seetharam is strong in his scripts which makes him quickly change the course of a serial and deliver what the audience demand. Usually the ratings soar when he makes an appearance. The court scenes are elaborate and goes on for weeks together and yet the audience ask for more. That's the power and charm of Seetharam. He developed a concept of Samvada, an organised meeting with the audience of his serials throughout the length and breadth of Karnataka. These became so popular that ETV Kannada telecast these interactions which had an equal ratings as that of the serial.

Amelia Movie Reviews
User reviews on Amelia
I think what made Amelia Earhart more interesting than most of the other historical figures I learned about in school was the mystery behind her disappearance. She was an enigma. Hilary Swank is the same way. She seems to appear every couple of years, give an amazing performance, and win an Oscar. I was hoping that the combination of these two fascinating women would result in a film that was just as interesting. Unfortunately, all I got was a by the numbers biopic. Directed at a snails pace by Mira Nair, the film is almost too reverential to its subject. The writers hit all of the important points of Earhart's life, but never delve any deeper than the superficial. Even worse, they take this larger than life character and do something I never thought would be possible: make her boring. While the film does have some interesting stories to tell (including her possible affair with pilot Gene Vidal), most of the movie sticks to standard biopic cliches. Swank does the best she can, but there's not much she can do with this underwritten role. One day, someone may write a film about Amelia Earhart that marries the excitement of her life with great storytelling. Until the, I'd rather she remain a mystery.
Let's see, how many movie-review cliches can we throw at this disaster? How about; "this movie never got off the ground"? How about; "This film developed engine trouble somewhere over an ocean of sleeping audience members"? Oh, never mind!
If movie disasters had a "Black Box", this one would reveal that Captain Mira Nair and her co-pilot Hillary Swank were so busy having girly-fun, they failed to come up with a flight-plan. Who needs Al Qaeda when you got these girls flying their passenger-jet into the side of the Twin Towers of common sense?
Hillary Swank's once promising career now seems to have caught fire and can be currently seen spiraling out of control at a theater near you. Much like Amelia Earhart, we won't get to see Hillary Swank grow old if she keeps trying to fly turkeys!

Views of Western Canada (98 pages - 47 photographs)
Exploring Canada's West is the ultimate way to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The forests will purify your mind and body while the breathtaking scenery will make you feel humble...
The images you're about to see were all shot during an early fall roadtrip throughout southern British Columbia and Alberta's Rocky Mountains.
Menno Alberts (1977) was born in Amsterdam, capital of The Netherlands. Nowadays he lives in the southern suburbs of the city. Photography has been his passion since his 10th birthday when his parents gave him his first camera. Travelling, another passion, has proved to be the best way for him to get inspiration to capture images. Besides to almost all Western European countries his trips have taken him to places in Eastern Europe, North Africa and to the United States and Canada several times. Since 2000 Menno has been working as a professional photographer, serving the Dutch real estate market. Specialized in landscape and nighttime photography he strives to show the beauty of land- and cityscapes which most people do not notice or tend to take for granted.

16:03, UK, Monday 04 June 2012
Two teenagers arrested over the suspected drug death of a 15-year-old girl have been released, as police awaited the results of toxicology tests.
Rose Farley died in the wake of police warnings over potentially lethal 'pink ecstasy' pills.
The teenager from Liverpool, fell ill at a birthday party on Friday evening and died at Alder Hey Children's Hospital during the early hours of Saturday morning.
A 16-year-old youth from Liverpool was detained and questioned on Sunday in connection with the death.
But Merseyside Police said he and a 17-year old from Everton, who was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and of supplying controlled drugs, had been released on unconditional bail.
It is understood Rose attended a party at the Silvestrian Social Club and that her drinks may have been spiked.
A Merseyside Police spokeswoman said the death of the youngster was still being treated as "unexplained".
She added that although a post-mortem examination had been carried out, the cause of Miss Farley's death has been withheld pending toxicology results.
A worker at the Silvestrian Social Club, who did not want to be named, told Sky News that staff were not aware that anyone had been taken ill on the premises.
"It was a busy night, an 18th birthday party, and as far as anyone knew the evening passed off without incident," she said.
"We certainly didn't know about anyone being taken ill. Everyone was gone by 1.30am."
Detective Superintendent Tim Keelan of Merseyside Police said: "At this stage it is too early to draw conclusions about the cause of death and it is unhelpful to speculate.
"The implication that this may be drug-related is just one of the lines of inquiry that our comprehensive investigation is looking at.
"That said, I would like to take this opportunity to warn people about the dangers of taking illegal substances.
"The effects of drugs are not always immediately apparent or can be delayed.
"This can sometimes result in people taking more in order to speed up the effects. This can have devastating results, one of which can be death."
The force had warned of a potentially lethal new drug on the streets in the form of pink pills, known as pink ecstasy, Dr Death or Pink McDonalds - because the pills are embossed with an M.
The warning was issued following the sudden deaths of two men in 24 hours in Cambridgeshire earlier this week. A man also died in similar circumstances in Bournemouth, Dorset, on May 21.
Emergency workers were called to Miss Farley's home during the early hours of Saturday morning. She was rushed to hospital but died just after 5am.
More than 4,500 Facebook users have viewed a tribute page set up in her memory.

Fungi Nail is a liquid antifungal solution designed for the treatment of nail bed fungus infections. It is one of the oldest treatments on the market, having been developed more than 25 years ago. The active ingredient is Undecylenic acid (25), a widely recognized antifungal agent.
Like all nail fungus treatments, the successful elimination of the infection depends a great deal on consistent application of the product over several weeks and months.
How does Fungi Nail work?
Fungi Nail does not work by penetrating the nail, but by attacking the fungus that exists in the skin around the nail. As the nail grows out, so too will the fungus. To apply Fungi Nail, follows the steps set out below:
- Clean the affected area carefully with soap and water (consider using an antifungal soap for this).
- Dry toenails, and the skin surrounding them thoroughly.
- Trim and file the toenails back as far as possible.
- Apply Fungi Nail antifungal solution at least twice each day using the brush applicator. The product is designed for application around the nail: Over the cuticle, on either side of the nail and underneath the nail tip (see diagram below).
- Let the product dry for at least 10 minutes before putting on shoes and socks.
With mild infections you should notice a healthy nail starting to emerge from under the cuticle after 4-8 weeks. For severe infections, this may take longer. Continue applying Fungi Nail until the new, healthy nail has completely grown out – a process that can take months.
Prepare yourself mentally for a long treatment course. You can't control exactly how long it will take for your fungus infection to disappear, but you can control how consistent you are at applying the antifungal solution – so concentrate on that.
Wear well-fitted and well-ventilated shoes during treatment, remembering to change socks daily (more often if you exercise and your socks become damp from perspiration). It's preferable not to wear nail polish while you are undergoing treatment so that your nails are able to "breathe" as much as possible.
Fungi Nail Brand reviews
- Established product, developed over 25 years ago.
- Excellent safety profile.
- Contains Undecylenic acid, a proven antifungal medication.
- New "Pen" applicator has been introduced designed to help consumers apply the right amount of product where it is needed, without any mess or spills. See details.
- Available without prescription.
- Persistence and consistency is needed. Don't expect a magic, immediate solution (unfortunately they don't exist when it comes to nail fungus infections).
- As the treatment is being applied "around" the nail and is not designed to penetrate it, it is vital to ensure that you continue treatment for a whole nail growth cycle.

Silver Oak Cellars 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon release day [PHOTOS]
Just over a week ago we attended the Silver Oak Cellars release day, which was held at the winery in Oakville to celebrate the release of the 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. All told there were somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000 people at the event and the weather was spectacular as the temperature peaked in the low 80s.
In addition to the new release Napa Valley Cabernet, attendees were able to sample the Twomey Cellars 2006 Merlot and enjoy food from local restaurants such as Bistro Don Giovanni, BarBersQ, La Toque, Tra Vigne and Fish Story.
As always, our resident photographer was on-hand to bring you the following photos.

Social media was buzzing with the news of singing superstar Robin Thicke and wife Paula Patton separating on Monday, Feb. 24th.
After being together over 20 years (the two married in 2005), they announced in a statement to People Magazine "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."
As expected speculation immediately began to swirl what was the cause of the break up of the couple. Many pointed to the video for the highly successful song "Blurred Lines" and the subsequent performance of Thicke and Miley Cyrus as signs that there was trouble in paradise. On Twitter the reaction was mixed.
User @TiffDubb4 tweeted "Ok. I'm a little sad about this Paula Patton/Robin Thicke separation. They seemed perfect for each other." While @briantruitt quipped "We can totally blame Miley for this, right?"
I share the sentiments of @mikeChek1_2 who tweeted "I'm rooting for Robin Thicke and Paula Patton. Hopefully they can reconcile their marriage during this time of separation."

Blenders are whirring all over Vallarta, so don't bother digging out yours when you want a refreshing fruit drink. Instead, head for any of the myriad juice bars, cafes or restaurants serving up cool, luscious "smoothies."
Traditionally, a smoothie is a blended non-alcoholic beverage made from natural ingredients, usually fruits and juices but sometimes other natural flavors such as chocolate or even green tea. Most smoothies use frozen fruit to make them into partially frozen beverages and may also include sherbet or frozen yogurt. For the health conscious, these delicious potions often include added vitamins, minerals or energy boosters.
Try a "Yelapa," made with mango, banana and orange juice, at Café San Angel in the South Side or a "Jungle Juice Zapper" at Energy Café in La Cruz to get a quick lift with fiber and vitamin C. Vegetarians can visit 100% Natural in the Hotel Zone, serving up juice blends as well as smoothies. Have a frothy fruit blend while checking email at Cyber Smoothie at Hotel San Marino or shop for art while sipping at Dee's Coffee Company in the South Side. Slurp a smoothie at the swim-up bar in your hotel or savor one while browsing for used books at Page in the Sun on Olas Altas. At Jumaica in El Centro, you can order your yummy drink with a shot of booze if you like. Smoothies are all over Vallarta, so find your special place and drink up!

The Caverns of Sonora features a lovely array of calcite crystal formations, especially helictites. The cave is located on Interstate 10 in Texas, halfway between Big Bend National Park and San Antonio. It is located 15 miles southwest of Sonora. Along with guided tours of this cave, there are other activities including gemstone panning, exploring the nature trail, enjoying a workshop and camping out.
The Visitor Center and gift shop was built in 1961. It is a ranch barn design with vaulted ceilings and exposed oak beams. The store sells sterling silver and gemstone jewelry, rocks, minerals and fossil specimens from around the world. In 1966 the cavern was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior. It is one of the most active caves in the world with over 95% of its formations still 'growing'.
The cave was discovered when a dog chased a raccoon into a 20-inch opening in a rock. Locals began exploring the cave sometime in the early 1920's. They were able to go about 500 feet from the entrance to a fifty foot deep pit. This section of the cave was eventually known as Mayfield Cave. In 1955, three speleologists, Bob Crisman, Bart Crisman and James Estes from Abilene were exploring another cave in Sutton County. They headed to the Mayfield Ranch to take a look at another cave known as Mayfield Cave. The speleologists entered the cave and made their way to a large room. A deep pit blocked their progress. On the other side of this pit were seemingly inaccessible passages that continued on. They were pressed for time, so they left the cave.
This story was passed on other cavers. On Labor day weekend of 1955, Danny Sheffield, Jack Allen, Claude Head and Jack Prince crossed a narrow, sloping ledge, high on the top of the right hand side of the big pit. They reached the passages on the other side. Stories of bizarre formations and untold beauty began circulating among members of the caving community.
Jack Burch, a caver from Oklahoma saw the cavern for the first time in 1956. He began to see human impact in the caverns in places where there shouldn't have been any damage. His vision was to develop the cavern to stop this destruction and preserve the cavern for future generations. Development started in 1959. The Caverns of Sonora was opened to the public on July 16, 1960.
The cave is formed in 100-million-year-old Cretaceous period Segovia limestone, from the Edward limestone group. The formation of the cave itself may have occurred between 1.5 to 5 million years ago. The stunning mineral formations, known as speleothems, formed after water had drained from the cave.

Sophomore Courtney Liddle (pictured) teamed with junior Olivia Utt to post a pair of wins at No. 4 to help the Green Wave post 3-2 victories over both ULM and UAB on Sunday.
April 27, 2014
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Tulane University sand volleyball team closed out the 2014 season in fine fashion, thanks in no small part to the bottom of the lineup, as the Green Wave posted 3-2 wins over both ULM and UAB on Sunday afternoon at the UAB Sand Courts.
The Wave's No. 4 tandem of sophomore Courtney Liddle and junior Olivia Utt as well as the No. 5 pair of freshmen Miah Diirell and Sarah Strasner both posted a pair of wins to spearhead the Tulane effort. The wins come one day after dropping a 5-0 decision to No. 10 Georgia State and were separated on Sunday by a couple of delays caused by inclement weather. The Green Wave conclude its third campaign in the dunes with an 8-7 record.
"We were disappointed in our performance on Saturday and met this morning to remind ourselves of how we want to conduct ourselves as a team," first-year Tulane head coach Wayne Holly said. "Today saw a return to one of our guiding principles. We demonstrated a workman-like attitude in competing today and grinding out some tough wins in some wet and challenging weather. Two wins in one day will make the long ride home feel a little shorter."
Diirell and Strasner scored Tulane's first point of the day by defeating ULM's Celine Flores and Kaitlyn Shearer, 21-10 and 21-9 while Liddle and Utt gave the Green Wave a 2-0 lead against the Warhawks by rallying from a 21-19 opening-set loss to Rachel Arnason and Alannah Cullum with victories of 21-10 and 15-7.
It was a similar story in the second match of the day, and this time it was Liddle and Utt posting the team's first win with a 21-17, 21-10 decision over UAB's Gabby Deshotel and Becca Howard. Diirell and Strasner, meanwhile, posted consecutive 21-14 wins over Ally Slaughter and Amber Treace to help set up Tulane's second victory of the day.
"The consistency we received from Courtney and Olivia on the No. 4 court and from Miah and Sarah on the No. 5 court was critical to our team's success," Holly said. "In each match, they got us out to 2-0 leads and allowed us some flexibility in our later matches knowing we needed to earn just one more point. By winning consistently, the No. 4 and No. 4 allow us to play a different style of volleyball for the rest of the dual - one where we can force the action without being so risk-averse."
Following Tulane's wins at No. 4 and No. 5, ULM cut the deficit in half as the top tandem of Marcela Araya and Zuzana Markova defeated sophomore Jackie Wegner and Tea Juric by scores of 21-16 and 21-12. Junior Anna Wruck and freshman Hannah Holmes, however, halted any talks of a Warhawks comeback as the pair posted a 21-13, 25-27, 15-10 win over Hope Pawlik and Hadley Swartz on Court 3 to put the match away. Tulane had a chance to win by three as senior Amber Bennett and freshman Annie Shurtz opened with a 21-16 win over Michelle McNamee and Bianca Ocana before dropping the next two 21-17 and 15-7.
In the contest against UAB, Tulane had to wait a bit after its wins at 4 and 5 as rain halted the action and the teams had to wait for a break in the weather. The stoppage of play halted the Green Wave's momentum momentarily and the Blazers took advantage to tie the match at 2-2.
Sam Serley and Alison Woods defeated Bennett and Shurtz for UAB's first point of the contest, and Rachel Fairbanks and Sara Rishell logged a 22-20, 21-14 victory over Holmes and Wruck to shift the attention to No. 1 play. Juric and Wegner were up to the challenge and posted a 21-18, 21-19 win over Kiriana Hirini and Bethanie Thomas to spark the Tulane celebration.
"We showed good balance again in our lineups with wins at four of the five flights and were able to pick up our teammates well when one or another pair didn't win," Holly added. "Our No. 1 pair of Tea and Jackie were able to get a great win against UAB with the dual on the line when we stumbled on the No. 3 court, and our No. 3 pair of Hannah and Anna were able to win for our team when our No. 1 faltered against ULM. That's the essence of a team sport. You compete for your teammates and to make a contribution to the whole knowing that everyone else is doing the same."
While Sunday's wins marked the final team competitions for the Green Wave, the season will continue for Juric and Wegner as the tandem was one of 10 doubles teams identified as "The Best of the Rest" from programs not included in the team portion of the championship tournament. The AVCA College Sand Volleyball National Championship will take place from May 2-4 in Gulf Shores, Ala.

Wall Street gnawed on a muddle of economic data and corporate earnings Thursday, pushing stocks lower after a brief rise.
The American consumer's buying power was thrown into doubt early on after Costco, Macy's and Target posted disappointing April sales. Colder temperatures and renewed worries about the economy weighed on shoppers.
Worker productivity fell sharply in the first three months of the year, the government said. That's a mixed sign, auguring higher costs for businesses but holding out the promise of renewed hiring.
The labor market has been on traders' minds all week; the big April jobs report is due out Friday. In the final major indicator before that announcement, the government said that the number of people applying for unemployment benefits fell last week by the most in three months.
GM shares fell 2 percent in early trading after the automaker said its first-quarter profit declined, mainly on losses in Europe. When people worry about whether Europe's debt crisis will spill over into the U.S., one of the major threats is that the European recession will harm sales by big American exporters such as GM and Caterpillar.
Major stock indexes lacked direction, opening lower then rising slightly in the first 15 minutes of trading. For much of the morning, they traded solidly lower. The indexes were back near flat by midday.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 10 points to 13,259 as of 11:30 a.m. EDT. The Standard Poor's 500 index fell two to 1,400. The Nasdaq composite index fell 10 to 3,050.
The Carlyle Group, a big, politically-connected private equity firm, edged higher after an initial public offering of some 30.5 million common units worth $671 million.
The company priced its stock at below the expected range late Wednesday. Carlyle, trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker "CG," has about $147 billion in assets under management.
Other swinging stocks:
— Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. plunged 46 percent, the most in the Russell 2000 index of small companies. The maker of single-cup coffee machines and cartridges said late Wednesday that its earnings for the fiscal year ending in September will be far below its previous guidance and analysts' estimates.
— Cablevision Systems Corp. dropped eight percent after its first-quarter revenue fell short of analysts' expectations and profit declined sharply.
— Viacom Inc., owner of MTV and Paramount Pictures, rose four percent after saying its net income rose sharply as its TV networks brought in more revenue.
— Orbitz Worldwide Inc. rose eight percent after narrowing its first-quarter loss, beating analysts' estimates.

Media Matters Catalogues Gibson-Bush Interview Spin, Omits PNAC!
Bush gave an interview to ABC's Charlie Gibson, in which Bush referred to the "intelligence failure" about WMD as his "biggest regret". MediaMatters.org, supposedly a right-wing spin watchdog, ignores PNAC and pre-Bush Administration Iraq War plans, but notes the corporate media's failure to point out that there are many instances in the public record that make it clear that the Bush Administration was planning to go to war with Iraq after 9/11. The ones Media Matters notes include as the "Downing Street Memo", Richard Clarke's statement in his book that Bush asked him the day after 9/11 to find a link to Hussein, his report to Condi Rice a week later that there was none, the Senate Intelligence WMD Inquiry, and other media reports.

Secret advice from a foreign power, thought to be America, helped to shape the dossier that said Saddam Hussein could attack within 45 minutes and set out the case for war in Iraq.

U.S. Perpetrates Mass Killings In Iraq
Souce: buzzflash.com
By Peter Phillips
The United States is directly responsible for over one million Iraqi deaths since the invasion five and half years ago. In a January 2008 report, a British polling group Opinion Research Business (ORB) reports that, "survey work confirms our earlier estimate that over 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens have died as a result of the conflict which started in 2003…. We now estimate that the death toll between March 2003 and August 2007 is likely to have been of the order of 1,033,000. If one takes into account the margin of error associated with survey data of this nature then the estimated range is between 946,000 and 1,120,000".

Kucinich Pushes on Impeachment By Jason Leopold July 12, 2008
Kucinich Pushes on Impeachment
By Jason Leopold
July 12, 2008
Congress has plenty of evidence that George W. Bush deserves impeachment for misleading the nation into war in Iraq, authorizing torture and other grave crimes, and violating the Constitution – and it is now time to act, says Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
"How many more hearings do we need to have to prove this administration has violated the Constitution, taken the law into its own hands, and condoned torture?" asked Kucinich, D-Ohio, author of some three dozen articles of impeachment.
"These articles of impeachment are about accountability," Kucinich said in an interview. "I think our country is at risk. We're setting a terrible precedent for future administrations if we choose to turn a blind eye to the crimes committed by this administration.
"We need to send a message to the next President that if he conducts himself in a similar capacity it would be met with a response from the Congress that you are going to be held to account. … There is a point at which you reduce Congress to a debating society."

Big Oil pockets Iraq - All's fair in business and war. By Derrick Z. Jackson
Great article other than he neglected to mention the 1.2 million plus dead Iraqis in the first sentence and, of course, the 3,000+ 9/11 victims and all the sick and dying 9/11 first responders, Big Oil and empire's initial collateral damage. -- Betsy
Big Oil pockets Iraq
All's fair in business and war.
Derrick Z. Jackson
writes for the Boston Globe
It took five years, the deaths of 4,100 U.S. soldiers, and the wounding of 30,000 more to make Iraq safe for Exxon.
It is the inescapable open question since the reasons given by President Bush for the invasion and occupation did not exist - neither the weapons of mass destruction nor Saddam Hussein's ties to al-Qaeda and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The Greatest Story Never Told Finally, the U.S. Mega-Bases in Iraq Make the News, By Tom Engelhardt
"And miracle of all miracles, the mainstream media is finally writing about the bases as if they mattered. Someday, before this is over, all of us may actually see what was built in our names with our dollars. That will be a shock, especially when you consider what the Bush administration has proved incapable of building, or rebuilding, in New Orleans and elsewhere in this country." Bastards.

New Agreement Lets US Strike Any Country From Inside Iraq By Basil Adas, Correspondent
New agreement lets US strike any country from inside Iraq
06/04/2008 08:13 PM | By Basil Adas, Correspondent
Baghdad: A proposed Iraqi-American security agreement will include permanent American bases in the country, and the right for the United States to strike, from within Iraqi territory, any country it considers a threat to its national security, Gulf News has learned.
Senior Iraqi military sources have told Gulf News that the long-term controversial agreement is likely to include three major items.
Under the agreement, Iraqi security institutions such as Defence, Interior and National Security ministries, as well as armament contracts, will be under American supervision for ten years.
The agreement is also likely to give American forces permanent military bases in the country, as well as the right to move against any country considered to be a threat against world stability or acting against Iraqi or American interests.
Revealed: Secret Plan To keep Iraq Under US Control By Patrick Cockburn
Revealed: Secret Plan To keep Iraq Under US Control
Bush wants 50 military bases, control of Iraqi airspace and legal immunity for all American soldiers and contractors
By Patrick Cockburn
05/06/08 "The Independent" --- A secret deal being negotiated in Baghdad would perpetuate the American military occupation of Iraq indefinitely, regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election in November.
The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country.
Australia Bolts Iraq Over Bush's Lies By Ray McGovern June 3, 2008
Australia Bolts Iraq Over Bush's Lies
By Ray McGovern
June 3, 2008
Editor's Note: Even into the sixth year of war in Iraq – even as ex-White House press secretary Scott McClellan admits the deceptions used to justify the invasion – the U.S. news media still averts its eyes from the full ugliness of what happened in 2002-03.
In this story, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern notes the far greater candor occurring in Australia -- and cites the earlier whistle-blowing by members of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), which he helped found:
Matilda is walzing home from Iraq, and the Australians are lucky but chastened.
Lucky for having lost not one soldier in combat of the 2,000 sent to join the "coalition of the willing" attack on Iraq in March 2003.
Chastened because Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is now pulling no punches in decrying the subservience of his predecessor, John Howard, to Washington.
McClellan and the Media 'Enablers' By Jeff Cohen
(I absolutely believe it is better late than never. Yes, McClellan should have stood up sooner, but at least he's the first to so publicly come out now, and not hide behind coded, read-between-the-lines comments of past Bush White House insiders . . . It's not an insignificant gesture . . . Many others had the opportunity, like Colin Powell, but they were cowardly, fearful or had misplaced loyalty and did not stand up . . . As far as the media's concerned, of course we all know the pressure came from the top on down. If we had a truly free press, we would not be where we are today. Betsy)
McClellan and the Media 'Enablers'
By Jeff Cohen
May 31, 2008
Editor's Note: Scott McClellan's new book may be welcome in that it corroborates many claims from George W. Bush's critics. But it's still galling that so many prominent journalists who bowed before Bush's bullying in 2002-03 have only seen their careers flourish.
In this guest essay, media critic Jeff Cohen revisits the journalistic cowardice before the Iraq invasion even though many media stars would prefer Americans not remember:

Demand for Cars Helps Boost Steel Industry
Christmas came early for the U.S. steel industry.
Buoyed by rising sales of cars, farm gear and oil-drilling equipment, steelmakers are increasing prices and expanding production after setbacks earlier this year when the U.S. recovery stalled and the European debt crisis deepened.
Gerdau SA, based in Brazil, will invest $67 million to expand production at a plant in Monroe, Mich., which makes steel for aerospace and defense industries. Russian steelmaker OAO Severstal last month opened a new part of its plant in Columbus, Miss., a $550 million project that doubled annual capacity to 3.4 million tons.
"If you take the [European Union] out of the equation, things look pretty good," says Lou Schorsch, who oversees ArcelorMittal's flat carbon operations in North and South America. Gerdau's Michigan plant expansion came as a "result of our confidence in the recovery and growth of the North American market," Chief Executive André Gerdau Johannpeter said last week.
ArcelorMittal, AK Steel Holding Corp., Nucor Corp. and Severstal recently have raised prices on benchmark hot and cold rolled steel used by the auto industry. After declining earlier this year, steel prices are up 25% since Nov. 2, with, for example, mills charging around $750 a ton for hot rolled steel, from around $600, causing upward price pressure on goods from cars to washing machines.
Tom Marchak, a vice president for Severstal North America, said that prices previously had declined for 33 weeks and that demand has reached a level "to support these increases."
Total shipments by U.S. steel plants were 76.4 million tons in the first 10 months of 2011, up from 69.7 million tons over the same period in 2010.
Still, producers remain cautious, noting that the U.S. is still recovering from a recession and gains could stall, if companies and consumers get skittish. Certain markets, including construction, remain weak and their outlook uncertain. Profit margins remain tight, due largely to high raw material and energy costs, and some producers are warning that increased imports and higher production could erode prices. Nucor issued a profit warning last week saying increased imports and new domestic supplies were eroding prices and margins.
U.S. steel imports have risen 14.5% during the first 10 months of 2011, due to the strong markets and prices in the U.S., and could rise dramatically next year if growth in China, which produces half the world's steel, slows markedly. The European economy could crash even harder, hurting banks and businesses around the world.
"People remain spooked by the EU, and China potentially slumping," said Arcelor's Mr. Schorsch.
The U.S., said Mr. Schorsch and others, has become an outlier in outperforming other regions. "There are some glimmers," said Alan McCoy, a spokesman for AK Steel.
The strongest market: automotive. U.S. auto makers are expected to turn out 13.4 million vehicles in 2011, up from 10.4 million units in 2009, according to the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation. Shipments of steel, strip and coiled plate steel, used to make cars, were up 11.9% to 44.1 million tons in the first 10 months of 2011, compared to last year.
Other markets are likewise strong, energy in particular. Gas and oil companies are buying more steel pipes to tap natural gas in shale basins. Michelle Applebaum, managing partner at Chicago-based research firm Steel Market Intelligence, noted that shipments of energy pipe were up 24.3% to 2.6 million tons in the first 10 months of 2011. That has helped keep prices strong in the U.S. relative to other parts of the world, she said. "The U.S. is ahead of everybody right now, thanks to pockets of activity" Ms. Applebaum added.
Richard Robinson, president of Nebraska-based Norfolk Iron & Metal, a company that buys and distributes steel to car makers and other manufacturers, said demand for heavier flat rolled steel is high "thanks to agribusiness, and the push for gas drilling in the upper Midwest." As a result, he expects recently announced price increases to stick "at least for the short term."
There are some bleak spots. Mr. Robinson said the company is selling less steel to makers of refrigerators, washing machines and other household appliances, which are typically big steel buyers. Household appliance production fell 4% in 2011, according to MAPI. Big manufacturers such as Whirlpool Corp. and Electrolux AB have cut jobs and output recently because of weak sales. Nonresidential construction has also suffered along with the real-estate market. Shipments of rebar, the steel that supports concrete in structures, were down 13% to 4.7 million tons during the first 10 months of 2011.
In 2011, public works construction was down 9% while private non-residential construction, traditionally a big user of steel, was merely flat.
Bremen Castings Inc., which makes castings, valves and other parts used in the military, agriculture and heavy truck industries, is ordering more steel with sales set to increase 25% from $47 million last year. The higher sales are helping to offset higher costs for steel.
"We've seen steel prices go up 50 bucks, and we expect them to go up another 50 in January," says J.B. Brown, the company's president. Bremen recently paid $564 a ton for a shipment of two-inch thick plate steel kind of steel. "But that's OK because we're having a record year."

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 18 July 1826; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18260718-TC-JAC-01; CL 4:113-115.
Scotsbrig, Tuesday-night [18 July 1826]—
My Dear Jack,
You bid me write to you very minutely, and to do it is beyond my power, for the old reasons, haste and slowness: Alick takes this to Dumfries with him tomorrow morning, and at present it is on the verge of midnight.
We are all well, and things are well enough about us. We have had a rainy fortnight, but still not nearly enough of rain. The thunderstorms passed far over our heads; and send down nothing hurtful or even extraordinary except a few hailstones. The crops are the worst ever seen within the memory of man; ours too is bad, but much better than most of our neighbours': so we do not complain. Mainhill is flourishing; and barley will be cut there in a day or two. Church of Mainholm was reaping a week ago: the like was never known. Here we shall have nothing to cut till you come down to us.—— To change the subject—turn over
I am within four dayswork of the end of this Fixlein, and so shall have done on Saturday, if I work; which however is not certain; for I have deranged myself of late with too close sitting; I have not even written to Haddington for three weeks. This Fixlein is considerably inferior to Schmelzle,1 which indeed I look upon as combining in a high degree the qualities of marketableness and intrinsic excellence. Nevertheless Fixlein also must do; and in a few days, I shall wash my hands of the whole affair; and turn, I hope, to something better.
I long somewhat to see your Thesis: the bruit of it has come down even to Annandale; and your fellow Doctors2 are envious or eulogistic of your attainments. This, I daresay, will not make you vain; for both you and I in the midst of all our literary triumphs, have constantly remembered, like Richard Macgub when made Deacon of Weavers at Dumfries, "that we are men of like passions with yourselves, gentlemen." Nevertheless, it is all good and fair; and if a man cannot feel satisfied a little, in conquering all the obstacles between him and an object he has long been struggling towards, and attaining it triumphantly, he will scarcely take satisfaction in anything here below.—They are all longing to see you, and asking me twenty times weekly: "But whan's Aikin comin haim?"
My late letters have been little better than Letters of Horning3 to you; so many heavy duties have they laid on your shoulders. I must still trouble you a little farther, tho' it will soon be done now. You looked out Gymnasium for me in some dictionary, and found that there were six teachers. Richter hints that there are eight. I have on this principle found out Quintus—to be the fifth teacher from the bottom, and third from the top; Quartus and Tertius he also uses but Primus and Secundus I nowhere find. Kantor or Cantor (singer) seems to be the title of one of the latter. On these principles I have manufactured a Note, which M'Cork will give you when it is printed, to exercise your judgement on. Will you look out Gymnasium (tell me in what Dictionary) again; and Kantor and Rector, Conrector, and Subrector? In the cour[s]e of these Articles, you will surely find the secret of it; and reconcile my Richter-nose with your dictionary which is all I want. If you cannot, then copy me what it said about Gymnasium (the ribs of it); and as to the rest do not mind them, for I know them already. Can you find me out Pansterkette, Streck-teich, Besetz-teich (stretch-pond, store-pond)? If not never mind; for I can do without them.4
I declare it is quite shameful to plague a Graduatus, and so honest a youth, with these things: but what can I help it?— I will tell you next time when I am coming, and whether you will meet me here or there. I am ever your Brother,
T. Carlyle
