Packing for an extended period of time overseas can be daunting, but with a little bit of organization and research, you can pack like an expert world traveler. See our list of tips below:
1. Pack what you think you'll need. Then pack less. You should be able to maneuver your luggage by yourself. After you pack it, try carrying it around your room a few times. If you're struggling, you'll need to pack less.
2. Pack fewer clothes and shoes than you think you'll need. If you're not sick of your wardrobe by end of your study abroad program, then you didn't pack right.
3. Consider using a packing list generator. Several generators can be found online. A couple of our favorites are Pack Whiz and the Universal Packing List.
4. Think hard about and research what you "must" have. Unless you are participating in short-term study abroad, most of your toiletries can be bought overseas. However, if there is a certain brand of shampoo that you absolutely cannot live without, you may wish to bring it with you; just make such decisions sparingly. Also, you should buy a guidebook for the country in which you're going to study abroad so that you can research what kinds of things might be difficult to find. In certain countries, for example, it's almost impossible to find contact lens solution, tampons, and/or deodorant.
5. Make a list of your "must-have" items. Keep this list to a maximum of ten items. On this list, you should only include items that would cause you a lot of trouble if you forgot them. Then, check and double-check to make sure you've remembered all of the items on this list. Examples of items on a "must-have" list might include passport, tickets, money, emergency contact sheet, address book for postcards, guide book, language dictionary, camera, and laptop.
6. Bring a solid supply of medicines and first-aid supplies. Medicines don't take much space in your suitcase, and while you may not need them, you'll be extremely grateful to yourself for packing them if you do need them! Here's a general list of items to consider, though this list should be tailored to your destination and personal preferences:
- Any prescription medication WITH copies of prescriptions
- Extra pair of glasses / contacts
- Anti-diarrheal medication
- Laxatives/stool softeners
- Anti-gas/Beano
- Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or Tylenol
- Sunblock
- Sunburn relief spray
- Mosquito repellent
- Anti-itch gel / hydrocortisone cream
- Bandages
- Neosporin / antibiotic cream (In Europe, antibiotic cream requires a prescription, so it's wise to bring your own.)
- Anti-septic hand wipes/Purell
- Yeast infection treatment (In many countries, yeast infection medication requires a prescription, so it's wise to bring your own.)
- Dramamine or Bonine (if prone to motion sickness)
- Cold medication (Many cold medications are banned in Japan. Check regulations very carefully if you will be traveling to Japan.)
- Condoms
- Thermometer
7. Be selective about electronics you want to bring. Most students will want to bring a cell phone, laptop, and digital camera. Think carefully about whether you really need to bring any electronics beyond those. Remember that electronics are bulky and take up a lot of space. If you must bring a hairdryer or iron, for example, consider bringing a travel size.
8. For electronics that you do plan to bring, make sure you bring the proper accessories. Don't forget your laptop power card, cell phone and camera chargers, and camera cord for downloading pictures.
9. Check the voltage of the country you plan to travel to. You may need an adaptor or converter. For more information, click here.
10. Consider bringing something from the US to share with your host culture. People that you meet may be curious about your family, friends, school, house, hobbies, etc. It can be a great conversation starter if you bring a pocket photo album with pictures of these things. Also, if you plan on staying with a host family, you should bring a gift—something locally made, if possible. Malley's chocolates, CWRU or Cleveland sportswear, or Bath and Body Works products (which are made in Ohio) are good choices.
11. Make sure that your packing meets TSA regulations. Make sure you aren't carrying any prohibited items. Make sure your liquids in your carry-on meet the required quantities. This includes food liquids!

I am using one sld file in geoserver of village parcel display. It works fine, but the issue is that the annotation(parcelno) display duplicates/replicates when I zoom in. What can I do?
This is because you have used tiling. Each request for a tile is a completely new request as far as the server is concerned, so it tries to label each polygon that appears in the requested map.
To solve this problem you can investigate the use of meta-tiling or make your labels a separate layer that is no tiled.

Prose Eddais a work without predecessor or parallel. It was designed as a handbook for poets to compose in the style of the skalds of the Viking ages. It is an exposition of the rule of poetic diction with many examples, applications, and retellings of myths and legends. Snorri Sturluson feared that the traditional techniques of Norse poetics, the pagan kennings, and the allusions to mythology would be forgotten with the introduction of new verse forms from Europe. The present selection includes the whole of Gylfaginning(The deluding of Gylfi)--a guide to mythology that forms one of the great storybooks of the Middle Ages--and the longer heroic tales and legends of Skáldskaparmál(Poetic diction). Snorri Sturluson was a master storyteller, and this translation in modern idiom of the inimitable tales of the gods and heroes of the Scandinavian peoples brings them to life again.

answers to CMake questions
Brandon J. Van Every <bvanevery <at> gmail.com>
Hi! I'm a 3D AI 4X TBS acronym kind of guy who has been distracted for 3 years by exotic programming languages and open source build systems. My one claim to fame is I am the CMake buildmaster of the Chicken Scheme-to-C compiler. http;//www.call-with-current-continuation.org . I'm pursuing Chicken as an alternative to C++. I really hate the "C++ and a scripting language" paradigm, I just want to use one language. I think Chicken can let me do it. But I got bogged down in build issues for so long, that what I actually am right now is a CMake guru. That said, we're currently organizing a simple OpenGL windowing project, so that people like myself can more easily move on to the next stage. Back to CMake. I was reading the archives and noticed some damning comments by Ben Garney, the tech director for the Torque engine. I hope to provide answers for some of these issues, and also ascertain what Ben's expectations and desires are. The CMake team is the most responsive group of open source developers I've worked with. That's a big part of why I've remained involved in the CMake community. Also they are exceedingly generous about getting people up to speed with CMake. The 1st cut of Chicken's build system was provided gratis by CMake principal Bill Hoffman. Of course now it's 1 year later and I've utterly effaced it, but it was certainly the right help at the right time. I would suggest that anyone who really wants help with CMake, to get on the CMake mailing list. That is the best resource for getting up to speed quickly with CMake. Nobody's hostile about RTFM and everyone's happy to do Q&A. The CMake community also has some ok tutorials. My own Chicken build is halfway tutorialized and provides many non-trivial examples. Chicken is only 75K lines of code, so it is big enough to be complicated, but small enough that it isn't overwhelming.(Continue reading)

Your average NBA jersey
Notice how the word BROOKLYN tilts like the way NEW YORK used to tilt on our jerseys, if your going to try and invade our city at least be different.

They look aaight but its really annoying having he Nets on our d*cks...I hope we at least take 3 out of 4 against them this year
Spurs Jersey with Brooklyn written on it.
Looks like a black and white version of the Thunder jerseys. Even the numbering looks exactly the same.
Hey here is the irony in that....Listen to a Jay Z album from the last half of his career....all he talks about is how New rappers keep trying to diss him to piggyback off his fame....and that's really what these dudes are doing with us.
The Russian cat has not stopped talking Knicks since he arrived here! Seriously 90% of his interviews he mentions The Knicks.
The whole "who's city is it" is a marketing scheme to get people to rush to the store and by their lame___ (you fill in the blank, I've turned my life over to God) jersey and t-shirts
The Knicks are one the most valuable franchises in Sports and The Nets are trying to play up their Arena and team and owners to be on our level.
They did'nt take over The City when they were making trips to The Finals and they sure won't do it now!!!
"You wanted to gain attention new dudes/I can get you BET and TRL too
You wanna be in the public?/ send you budget/Well___it I (rather The Knicks) aint budging."
-Jay Z Encore
like your worst single ever Jay...."The City is Mine (Knicks)"
And they say our roster is full of old players!!!! Seriously it's kinda sad
Jay also stresses how he never let corporate America use him....he owns 1/15 of a percent of the team, they call him "an owner" when there is probably a New Jersey meat packing plant that owns more stock in this team yet Ivan Drago sure is getting him to work hard to sell this team to NY...I believe that getting used....but I suppose Corporate Russia is different.
All Dressed up and nowhere to go
But I doubt Jay cares about being a hypocrite, hes a great business man and like I brought up in another thread i question if him and Prokherov are funding ESPN to hate on us and build the Nets up.
Without Kidd there would be no Brooklyn Nets, nor Barclays Center.

As the release date for the novel Cyberwar draws nearer, a recent report marks at least one film representative is already expressing interest in optioning the upcoming thriller.
At this point the possibilities are endless, but Hollywood is calling.
First reported by Rune Works (the Press Relations company representing Cyberwar) after a recent talk with the publisher Pentian CEO Enrique Parrilla, who stated that yes, "an [as yet] unnamed studio in L.A. has already expressed interest in optioning the rights [for Cyberwar]."
As Los Angeles and the rest of the world wait for the book's launch – possibly in stores as soon as October 1, 2014 – the buzz surrounding Pentian's first major US release on the fiction market is amassing a lot of interest.
Thriller and commercial readers stand ready: there has never been a book like this!
In the description of the suspense work a grim present or possible future is laid out under the guise of a new regime . . .
It all went to hell when the world's greatest cyber warriors chose to wage war for themselves and not on behalf of the politicians that hired them. Hackers, they used to be called.
To Xera, William Waltz was a broken spy and a fugitive, manipulated by the Cyber Elite that ruled from Canada to Peru. If she helped him, the Cyberwar could be avoided . . . but the assassin named "Sheetrock" tracked them to use his bio-hacked body to delete them both.
The research on cyber warfare and political protest, as well as a strong female protagonist set this riveting story apart.
The target audience for this book is the readers of commercial thrillers. Cyberwar resembles a cross between Miller's Sin City and Fleming's James Bond novels.
The book has been finished and is now a series.
For a limited time, Pentian is still crowdfunding for investors, and readers to help sell the book through their engagement and there is even an opportunity still available to have their name immortalized as a character in the Cyberwar Series. See it here: http://pentian.com/book/fund/601

Frank Sinatra: The House I Live In
The House I Live In (That's America To Me)
Frank Sinatra (vocals)
Frank Sinatra, Volume 2 - "The House I Live In" - Early Encores: 1943-'46 (aka Unheard Frank Sinatra, Vol. 2) (Vintage Jazz Classics VJC-1007-2)
Frank Sinatra (vocals),
unidentified studio orchestra conducted by Axel Stordahl.
Lyrics by Abel Meeropol (as "Lewis Allan") & music by Earl Robinson.
Recorded: probably New York, 1946
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
There's more to this than meets the ear …
"A certain word, democracy." That's one answer to the big question "What is America to me?" posed by Frank Sinatra in the 1945 10-minute film The House I Live In. The scrappy kid from New Jersey had been looking to move past the bobbysoxers who adored him, plus he was pretty liberal back then, too. So he was, well, jazzed to appear in a film extolling religious tolerance and ethnic equality, and to protect a scrawny Jewish boy beset by a gang of bullies. Frank dissuaded the little hoodlums by declaiming the title song: "The faces that I see / All races and religions / That's America to me."
Over the next year Frank got lots of favorable press and the film even won a couple of awards. Neverthe- less, the political Right attacked Sinatra relentlessly, hating his liberal beliefs and his gangster pals, while the Left distrusted his pop-centrist success and libertine ways. Plus lyricist Abel Meeropol, who also wrote Billie Holiday's scarifying "Strange Fruit," was angry because the film, and Frank on a 78 and in perfor- mance, omitted the outspoken racial-tolerance lines "My neighbors white and black" and "A home for all God's children."
But the real problem was the Red Scare, about to paralyze Hollywood. Within a few years the film's writer, Albert Maltz, composer Earl Robinson, and to some extent Meeropol—Lefties all—would be experiencing the unspoken blacklist, which rendered many of the lyrics ironic: "The howdy and the handshake / The air of feeling free / And the right to speak your mind out …." Frank too began feeling the HUAC heat, losing label, agent, voice, and much of his popularity until the famous early Fifties comeback.
Still, the song was taken up by Paul Robeson and Josh White, and even Sonny Rollins a decade later, and also kept alive by Sinatra, who revisited it several times over the years, eventually singing it at the White House for a President or two. This early version was recorded live about 1946 during an unidentified radio broadcast and then sent out on an Armed Forces Radio transcription disc. There are some nice touches, quietly patriotic moments in Axel Stordahl's arrangement: a snippet of "America the Beautiful," a brief trumpet fanfare, swirls and waves of strings, then a drum roll at the climax and a final peaceful tag, without words, brotherhood found "from sea to shining sea." Frank sings almost peacefully, with low-key ballad dynamics, offering more nuance and less schmaltz than are found in his lip-synched, slightly hammy film performance and the string-drenched 78. Calm, yet committed, he sounds like a believer.
Looking back, we know that Sinatra, to be perfectly Frank, had to reinvent himself again and again—become a convincing actor, swing through hundreds of recording sessions, cavort with the Rat Pack, slip in and out of bedrooms and, politically, from Left to Right. But the image of the underdog kid stayed with him. And the spirit of jazz, if not the sound and rhythms, fills this all-American "House," which was in the mid-Forties and remains to this day the nation's metaphoric residence. Now that the White House has opened its doors to an African-American President, perhaps the song's 21st-century version could resurrect some other lyrics Frank discarded: "The words of old Abe Lincoln / Of Jefferson and Paine / Of Washington and Jackson / And the tasks that still remain."
Democracy, like Jazz, is a complex gig … whether improvised or arranged.

An off-the-wall, casual approach to tried-and-true Shakespearean comedy can certainly work wonders. I still feel a surge of giddy delight whenever I recall last season's ebullient As You Like It at the Folger Theatre. What's lacking, then, in Washington Shakespeare Company's similar dressed-down approach to A Midsummer Night's Dream is the unwavering command of text, context and ensuing nuances that a director and cast must possess before even considering anything other than a straightforward approach.
It's no small omission from a successful formula. After sitting, unamused, through WSC's tiresome, trudging Midsummer, it's painfully obvious that director Lee Mikeska Gardner and the actors at her disposal have failed to rise to even a fundamental professional-grade grasp of the lyricism and impact of Shakespeare's language that make it worth presenting on the 21st-century stage.
For reasons that are beneficial, if at all, to the actors, but not — hello! — the audience, Gardner has taken Midsummer's twenty-plus characters and assigned them to an ensemble of only eight performers. Not only that, but, ostensibly, the actors have prepared to fill multiple multi-character roles and receive their assignments for any given performance by random drawing when the show begins. This amounts to an acting exercise gone awry, not entertainment. The ensemble struggles to compensate by pushing a forced familiarity and rapport on the audience. (A Christmas carol sing-a-long to start things off? No thanks.) Perhaps they're thinking it will earn them forgiveness as they inevitably fumble through Gardner's burdensome misconception of Midsummer's normally blithe proceedings.
It's clear the company is in over its head, and the audience is left out in the cold.

The 121 meter long, 6267 dwt tanker Lady Orge collided with the 12 meter long trawler Pere Milo in the Bay of Biscay near Belle-Ile, France. The trawler quickly sank sending its two crew into the water. One crewman was rescued by the tanker and later taken ashore by a helicopter. The crewman was taken to hospital suffering from mild hypothermia. The other crewman remains missing. No reports of injuries or damage on the tanker. Authorities dispatched several helicopters and multiple vessels conducted an active search in the area. The Lady Ozge was en route to Dunkirk from Saint Nazaire with sunflower oil. The tanker proceeded to Lorient where authorities can conduct an investigation.

Heirloom tomatoes are a priceless inheritance
Some inherit land, others inherit money, and the fortunate few inherit valuable jewels. But everyone can claim ownership to priceless gems of another kind – gleaming red, yellow, pink, orange, green, white and even purple heirloom tomatoes that glisten in the fields of your local farmers!
The definition of an heirloom tomato, or any heirloom vegetable for that matter, is an open pollinated plant (non-hybrid) that has been passed down for at least 50 years or a plant that has been bred from heirlooms.
There are commercial varieties of heirlooms that have been sold through seed catalogs for decades, and there are local varieties that have been saved and shared among families and neighbors for generations. And don't forget those accidents of cross breeding in the backyard garden that continue to create some of the most exciting varieties out there.
The importance of heirloom tomatoes
Botanists have long warned that the future of the human race relies on the delicate balance of plant genetics, and seed banks and repositories are being developed around the world to answer that very real concern. It is hoped that catastrophic crop failures in one part of the world could be offset by genetic material that has survived on the other side of the globe.
Heirloom tomatoes present the perfect example of the benefits from such biodiversity. When seeds are collected year after year from local varieties, the strongest genetic traits are preserved as these varieties start to adapt to local climate, develop resistance to local diseases and pests, and stake their claim in that part of the world.
These "customized" strains provide some insurance against crop failures, and might also offer genetic material for breeding varieties that could re-populate areas of the world that have suffered plant disasters.
Local farmers go about the business of insuring genetic diversity each time they plant and save the seeds of heirloom vegetables. And when these gems wind up on your table, you are helping to keep the system healthy by supporting local growers who believe in the importance of heirlooms, and are willing to grow them year after year.
Besides that, they taste phenomenal!
A tomato by any other name…
Surveying the booths of any farmers market worth its salt, you will usually gaze upon some very unique tomatoes in a wide array of colors and shapes. You might see the deeply hued Black Russian Krim and Cherokee Purple, or the diminutive creamy white Snowberry. A real crowd pleaser is the huge German Johnson, a 16-ounce pink and yellow tomato thought to have originated in North Carolina.
Because they were grown for eating and not shipping, heirlooms have never been known for their uniform shapes, and in fact some can be downright strange looking! In fact, farmers are used to saying, "Yep, it's a tomato!" which serves as a good segue into sharing about the little old lady who saved the seeds 70 years as a tribute to her grandmother who brought them from Europe.
Heirlooms come not only with superior flavors, but good stories, too!
Take the Mortgage Lifter for instance. Developed in the early 1940s by an auto mechanic in Logan, West Virginia known as "Radiator Charlie" Byles, these gargantuan tomatoes can reach three pounds. Byles claimed to have used the German Johnson as one of the parent plants, and then cross-pollinated it with every large tomato variety he could find from old-timers in West Virginia. It took seven years of perfecting the experiment, before he was satisfied with what he later dubbed The Mortgage Lifter. After selling the plants for $1 each, a high price to pay for a tomato plant back in that day, Byles soon had the entire mortgage paid on his home.
Flavors to savor
Heirloom tomatoes are famous for flavors that will get your attention at first bite, and that's why many folks prefer them to uniformly shaped fruit that is shipped in. Chefs often create seasonal recipes around them and select heirlooms that range from lemony to sugary sweet, keeping in mind what they will lend to the overall taste of the dish.
Next time you visit the farmers market look for these gems, but be careful how you handle them – getting them home without bruising is sometimes a challenge because of their delicate structure. Keep in mind they were bred for picking out of the backyard garden, and not for transport.
Also, storage is very important. All tomatoes, and heirlooms especially, need to be stored at room temperature, and not the refrigerator. You will find that heirlooms do not last as long as their shipped-in cousins, so plan to use them very soon.
An exciting place to enjoy heirloom tomatoes is at the table of a fine restaurant that has taken freshly delivered fruits and expertly prepared them the same day, making the most of the subtle flavor nuances found in each variety.
But no matter how you enjoy them, be sure to include heirloom tomatoes on your summer menu; and don't forget to save some seeds just in case you want to grow them next year!
Jolley Farms grows an impressive selection of heirloom tomatoes, each one selected for it's unique flavor and color. In fact, special requests from chefs are reflected in the crop from year to year.
Jolley Farms 2013 Crop of Heirloom Tomatoes include:
- White Tomesol
Known for its sweet and rich taste as well as its fragrance, this German heirloom is one of the most valued of the rare white tomatoes. Fruits average about ½ pound, and are smooth fleshed with a translucent creamy color that is sometimes tinged with a pink blush at the blossom end. Exquisitely delicious!
- Snowberry White Cherry
This is the closest you'll come to a white cherry tomato! (Actual color is a creamy yellow- white.) Hailing from England, Snowberries were popular in conservatory gardens before hitting American soil. They are very sweet with a rich tomato flavor that belies their pale exterior. An excellent addition to gourmet salads when presentation is key.
- Hillbilly
First appearing in West Virginia back in the 1880s, this popular heirloom is streaked with orange, yellow, pink, and red! When cut, these 1½-pound tomatoes display a beautiful starburst pattern in very meaty flesh, making it popular for fresh eating in salads and on sandwiches. The super sweet flavor is an added bonus to the visual beauty of the Hillbilly.
- German Johnson
A lovely pink heirloom with roots in North Carolina and Virginia. The very large fruit, up to 1½ pounds, were the inspiration for the famous Mortgage Lifter, and German Johnson was said to be one of the parent plants of that variety. German Johnson bears meaty, flavorful fruit with very few seeds, making them good for canning, and slicing. They turn pink with yellow shoulders when ripe, and have a fairly smooth shape, making them one of the more attractive of the beefsteak tomatoes. Pink and yellow tomatoes are lower in acid, making these the perfect pick for those with dietary restrictions.
- Black Cherry
A truly "black" cherry tomato, and perfectly round, these little gems have the sweet, rich and complex flavor that black tomatoes are known for – a real surprise from such a little fruit. Actual color is deep red with blackish tones on translucent skin. A rare find that's sure to bring flavor and conversation to a salad.
- Cherokee Purple
These beauties have a striking appearance complete with dark purple skin and deep red flesh, but are also extremely popular for their flavor and dense, juicy texture. Jeff McCormack, founder of Southern Exposure Seed Exchange traces this heirloom back to the Cherokee people of Western North Carolina by way of Craig LeHoullier of Pennsylvania who got the seeds from John Green of Tennessee who got the seeds from neighbors who got the seeds directly from the Cherokee 100 years earlier! Such is the nature of heirloom tomatoes; however, not all of them can lay claim to the fame this one has received through farmers markets and restaurants.
- Riesentraub
The name means "abundant bunch of grapes" and it certainly does describe how these deep red cherry tomatoes look when hanging on the vine. Known for extremely heavy yields, the Riesentraub cherry tomato was grown in America as early as 1856 by the Pennsylvania Dutch. Of course the Pennsylvania Dutch were actually German (Dutch coming from a corruption of the word Deutsch, meaning German) and the heirloom no doubt originated in their original homeland. Riesentraubs are often used for making tomato wine, another way to link the little fruit to its namesake, the grape.
- Sungold Orange Golden
These little glowing gems are often ready to eat weeks before other cherry tomato varieties, and can satisfy a fresh tomato craving when nothing else is ripe! However, at first bite you might think you just popped a tropical fruit into your mouth. They are one of the sweetest heirloom cherry tomatoes, and the intense orange glow of fully ripe Sungolds hanging on the vines hint of citrus groves in the Deep South. They are fun to use in salads with Lollipop Yellow cherry tomatoes for an unmistakably fruity taste.
- Orange Fleshed Purple Smudge
Most likely this unique tomato won't win any prizes for the most appealing name, however it can certainly hold its own in the looks category. In fact garden writers have described it as "stunning," "ornate," "artistic," and even "shocking!" Imagine a bright tangerine-orange globe with purple spatters on the upper half, and you'll start to understand the unusual name. Take one bite of the 4-6 ounce fruit, and you'll also figure out why their flavor makes them jump off the tables at farmers markets. Chefs like their sweet to acid balance making them a versatile ingredient, never over-powering, but just doing what a good tomato should do in the saucepot or fresh on the side. And did we mention how hey look? Truly, shocking!
- Tennessee Green
Grown by the Spear family of Tennessee since the early 1950s, Tennessee Green is an 8-10 ounce tomato with a slightly flattened top. The color can be described as emerald with a bit of amber highlight, but don't let it fool you. When mature, this green tomato tastes every bit as ripe as its red cousins. The flavor is among one of the most interesting of all heirlooms, a hint of spice and citrus. A rare variety that is just now getting on the market thanks to the 50 years of seed preservation by a family who knew a good tomato when they tasted one, irregardless of the color.

College Hockey:Schaefer Keys Friar Win
PC Rolls Past WMU To Mariucci Title Game
MINNEAPOLIS — Bolstered by Nolan Schaefer's 31-save performance, Providence defeated Western Michigan, 4-1, in the first game of the Mariucci Classic Friday.
The Friars began the scoring in the second period when freshman center Chris Chaput slipped a shot from the low slot past Western Michigan goaltender Mike Mantua.
Sophomore defenseman Regan Kelly added to the lead, scoring his second goal of the season at the 19:07 mark of the period when he converted on a feed from junior forward Mike Lucci.
The Broncos cut the Providence lead to one goal when Shaun Rose fired a power-play goal past Schaefer, but PC re-established the two-goal margin when junior captain Devin Rask broke in all alone on Mantua and flipped a backhanded shot over the goaltender's left shoulder.
Sophomore Jonathan Goodwin scored the game's final goal, an empty-netter with 26 seconds remaining in the contest.
Schaefer earned the win for PC, while Mantua recorded 25 saves in the loss for WMU.
The Friars play in the championship game of the Mariucci Classic against host Minnesota, a 3-2 winner over Ferris State, at 7 p.m. CST Saturday.

Apple will hold a media event tomorrow to announce at least one new iPhone. For the past year, several rumors have emerged for up to three different iPhones being announced.
According to MacRumors, there is the possibility of an iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or economical iPhone 4 being announced tomorrow. More than one of the devices could be announced for sale around October 14, according to Computerworld.
The economical iPhone 4 will basically be a cheaper iPhone 4 with a smaller hard drive to replace the 3GS as its bargain iPhone. The iPhone 4S will be an improved iPhone 4 that is GSM and CDMA universal, 1GB of RAM, the iPad 2 A5 processor, an SGX 543MP2 GPU and an improved voice recognition program.
As for the iPhone 5, little more is known about what would separate it from the iPhone 4S. There were some rumors reporting 4G data speeds, but that could also appear on the iPhone 4S.
The most interesting thing about the media event tomorrow will be how Apple's new CEO Tim Cook handles the spotlight. Cook, 50, was Steve Jobs' hand picked successor who has temporarily filled in as CEO for Jobs while he was on medical leave, but now the promotion is permanent. While Jobs may make a cameo at the event, it will be Cook that has to do the heavy lifting during the presentation.
Apple will not stream the media event live like previous events, according to 9to5Mac. However, further information will be available following the event on Apple's website.

NeoVenom took his eyes off the two people he was watching when the bartender started talking to him. The bartender told NeoVenom all about how the commander was murdered and some assassin left his mark, how the assassin's name was "Reaper". Even though NeoVenom disliked the way Carmael was run, he believed no one deserved death but instead should be prosecuted by justice. After thanking the bartender for the information, NeoVenom got to his feet. He looked around once more and noticed the two people he was watching earlier were at the bottom of the steps that lead upstairs. Maybe he should have a talk with them, maybe he should just wait until he has more information. After a slight pause at where he stood, NeoVenom made his way to the door of the cavern. He heard elven being spoken at a corner and tried to listen.

Dike & Adicia, Athenian amphora C6th B.C.,
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna
ADIKIA (or Adicia) was the spirit (daimona) of injustice and wrong-doing. She was depicted as an ugly barbarian woman with tattooed skin. Her opposite number was Dike (Justice) who was sometimes represented beating her with a club.
Nowhere stated, perhaps NYX or ERIS
Pausanias, Description of Greece 5. 18. 2(trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :
"[Among the images decorating the chest of Kypselos (Cypselus) dedicated at Olympia:] A beautiful woman is punishing an ugly one, choking her with one hand and with the other striking her with a staff. It is Dike (Justice) who thus treats Adikia (Adicia, Injustice)."

Four Cal Players Picked in NFL Draft
Related Links
BERKELEY, Calif. - Four Cal football players were selected in the NFL Draft this past weekend, and for the fifth consecutive year, a Golden Bear offensive lineman was drafted by an NFL team.
Center Jeremy Newberry was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the second round, the 58th player picked in the draft and the first offensive lineman chosen from the Pac-10 Conference.
He was the only Cal player picked on the first day of the draft Saturday. However, three other players got calls on Sunday as Brandon Whiting was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles, where he'll join former Cal defensive lineman Rhett Hall. Whiting was the 112th player picked in the draft.
"The fourth round is about what I expected," said Whiting. "I was hoping to stay a little closer to home, but you really have no choice in these matters. Philly is fine."
Whitings agent Mike Sullivan believes his player has a good opportunity with the Eagles. "Like most teams, they liked his quickness and athleticism, his ability to pass rush from the inside tackle position" said Sullivan.
In the fifth round, the Seattle Seahawks chose wide receiver Bobby Shaw as the 169th player drafted. Shaw said he was relieved to finally be picked, but said he was pleased to be given an opportunity by Seattle.
"I was actually around a lot longer than I thought I'd be, especially considering the wide receivers who were drafted ahead of me," said Shaw. "But in the end, it doesn't matter. Seattle is a great situation for me."
Running back Tarik Smith went to the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round as the No. 223 selection. He, likewise, was pleased with the pick. "I haven't seen my parents this happy since I got my scholarship to Berkeley," said Smith. "I knew I was going to get drafted, the fact that it was the Cowboys makes it that much sweeter. They're a quality franchise and they're Super Bowl contenders. I'm just thrilled to be in this situation."
Cal wide receiver Kofi Nartey signed a free agent contract with the Oakland Raiders, while defensive back Kato Serwanga is also fielding various free agent offers from NFL teams.
Recent Cal NFL Draft History
1998 Draft 4 selected (Jeremy Newberry, 2nd round; Brandon Whiting, 4th; Bobby Shaw, 5th; Tarik Smith, 4th)
1997 Draft 3 selected (Tony Gonzalez, 1st; Tarik Glenn, 1st; Pat Barnes, 4th)

With Ryback aligning with Paul Heyman the speculation is the inevitable program will be Ryback vs. Brock Lesnar. We're told this isn't entirely true but is more of an end game.
"If Ryback fails in the Heyman role, it's easy to write him off and have Brock destroy him." One observer told WrestlingNewsWorld.com.
The problem with it is that it could draw a major babyface pop for Ryback, perhaps bigger than anything he's experienced to date. We're told there are plans for a Lesnar face turn but not until after Wrestlemania XXX so if they would do it before then, the preliminary plan would be for Ryback to be babyface and Lesnar to be heel.

Almost every time I write an article about abortion, I am asked the question, "what would you do if your wife or daughter were to be raped?". For me, the answer is that I don't know and I pray to God I never find out. The pro-choice advocates always throw that argument into the mix, saying it isn't fair to the woman to be pregnant with a child from someone who raped her and while I agree that it isn't fair, that argument simply doesn't hold water for me.klonopin online no prescription
Consider the following survey results concerning the reasons given for wanting an abortion. You can read the full report here.
ambien online no prescriptionbuy phentermine online without prescription
Summary: This report reviews available statistics regarding reasons given for obtaining abortions in the United States, including surveys by the Alan Guttmacher Institute and data from seven state health/statistics agencies that report relevant statistics (Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah). The official data imply that AGI claims regarding "hard case" abortions are inflated by roughly a factor of three. Actual percentage of U.S. abortions in "hard cases" are estimated as follows: in cases of rape or incest, 0.3%; in cases of risk to maternal health or life, 1%; and in cases of fetal abnormality, 0.5%. About 98% of abortions in the United States are elective, including socio-economic reasons or for birth control. This includes perhaps 30% for primarily economic reasons.
Barack Obama, Planned Parenthood and the rest of the pro-choice crowd want us to believe it is all about equality or choice, but if it is about choice, then why is that choice not excersised before the pregnancy, instead of waiting until there is an innocent life that will be snuffed out without a choice of their own? Why do they not choose to not get pregnant, instead of just getting rid of the results of their actions?buy valium online without prescription
As this Presidential election draws nearer to an end, with 21 days left until November 4 and one of the most important votes you or I will ever cast, I want to draw attention once again, to Barack Obama's position on the Freedom of Choice Act and the effect it will have on the number of abortions performed in this country every year.buy tramadol no prescription
Technically, the Freedom of Choice Act is called H. R. 1964 and you might be surprised at the heading that is printed under the name of the bill.
buy klonopin onlinevalium for sale
To protect, consistent with Roe v. Wade, a woman's freedom to choose to bear a child or terminate a pregnancy, and for other purposes.
Barack Obama has made it a practice to put Roe v. Wade at the center of what he has tried to do to protect abortion. In a speech before Planned Parenthood on July 17, 2007, he says Roe v. Wade is about equality, not about privacy. You can view highlights or the full video here.
ativan online no prescriptionbuy xanax online
I have worked on these issues for decades now. I put Roe at the center of my lesson plan on reproductive freedom when I taught Constitutional Law. Not simply as a case about privacy but as part of the broader struggle for women's equality. Steve and Pam will tell you that we fought together in the Illinois State Senate against restrictive choice legislation-laws just like the federal abortion laws, the federal abortion bans that are cropping up. I've stood up for the freedom of choice in the United States Senate and I stand by my votes against the confirmation of Judge Roberts and Samuel Alito.
Is there any doubt what Barack Obama will do as President? He has made it very clear what some of his first actions will be, if he wins this election. In a question and answer session following his speech before Planned Parenthood, he let it be know what his first act would be.

Dessa Cosma: Um, as you were talking about earlier, the recent Bush Supreme Court's decision really took away critically important decisions from women and put them in the hands of politicians. And as a result of this, we're expecting, and have already seen, so much anti-choice legislation at the state level. Um, what would you do at the federal level not only to ensure access to abortion but to make sure that the judicial nominees that you will inevitably be able to pick are true to the core tenets of Roe v. Wade?buy valium online
Barack Obama: Well, the first thing I'd do as president is, is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. [Applause.] That's the first thing that I'd do. Um, but the, okay, but, but your question about the federal courts is absolutely on target. I taught Constitutional Law for ten years and I have to say after reading this latest decision and the series of decisions that the Supreme Court has been putting forward that I find it baffling.
What the Freedom of Choice Act will do is codify Roe v. Wade and make it the law of the land. In the view of the pro-choice community, that will guarantee the right of future generations of women to choose. In my view, it will pave the way for multiple millions of innocent babies to be murdered, all because someone made a choice. I ask you again, is there any doubt what Barack Obama will do on the issue of abortion if he is elected President? I think not and it isn't something our country can afford.
Sarah Palin said it better than I could when she said:
A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for activist courts that will continue to smother the open and democratic debate we need on this issue, at both the state and federal level. A vote for Barack Obama would give the ultimate power over the issue of life to a politician who has never once done anything to protect the unborn. As Senator Obama told Pastor Rick Warren, it's above his pay grade.
Nothing else needs to be said.

Dear Editor:
The Hi-Line District of the BLM is, right now, developing a management plan that will determine what happens to some of the very best intact and undeveloped public lands for decades to come. This "Resource Management Plan" will include about 2.4 million acres of publicly accessible land from the Missouri Breaks north to the Canadian border.
This is a hunter's dream country – from Ponderosa pine coulees to sagebrush plateaus. Good habitat for elk, mule deer and antelope and spectacular habitat for species in a thousand other places.
Sportsmen across Montana are asking...

Categories: Reviews: Equipment : Cameras : Digital Cameras : Compact Digital Cameras with Exposure Control
Here's the recipe for a terrific series of digital cameras: start with the electronic-imaging expertise of Hewlett-Packard (HP), whose printers and scanners are among the most popular in the world. For great optics, add five decades of camera-making experience from Pentax. The result? HP's new lineup, featuring the C912 and C912xi (identical except for the software that comes with them) as its twin flagship models. These two cameras offer an intriguing set of features not offered by any other manufacturer (except Pentax, which also sells this model as the EI2000).
Though virtually every other digital camera uses a rangefinder setup, the C912 is a true single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. Light entering the lens is split by a prism: most is sent to the camera's sensor, but some goes up to the viewfinder. When you look through the viewfinder, the image you see is coming through the lens, so you can see precisely what you'll capture. You can also preview and review your shots with the 2-inch color LCD on the back of the camera. As an added feature, the LCD has a 90-degree flip-up design, allowing you to see images even if the camera is held at waist level.
Features aperture priority but not shutter priority.

Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
It's time to face an
uncomfortable reality: The Martha Graham Dance Company -- at 80
the oldest modern dance troupe in the world -- has more or less
been cursed since its founder died 15 years ago. Instead of being
able to devote 100 percent of their efforts, talent, and money to
simply preserving Graham's work, the dancers, funders, and administrators
that guard her legacy have seen their energies dissipated and distracted
by legal battles, fratricidal struggles for control, and more. Under
its current leadership, the company has been reduced to lecture
demonstrations -- if we have to explain the work of Martha Graham,
God help the rest of modern dance -- and, soon to come, the cruise
ship circuit. Its artistic director cannot even be bothered to live
on the same coast as her dancers, and disdains rehearsing them.
The company stands on the brink of extinction and -- let's be honest
-- there are people, including dancers, who have no idea who Martha
Graham is. This is the reality.
We should take a hint
from federal judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, who in 2002 awarded
10 of Graham's works to the public domain and, instead of trying
to preserve the crippled entity known as the Martha Graham Dance
Company, dissolve it. Efforts could then be concentrated on saving
the Graham school (and on the concomitant mission of perpetuating
the Graham technique in other studios, universities, and high schools)
and on preserving and fortifying the Graham repertoire itself --
through its performance at dance companies that are more financially
sound and by (capable) university dance departments.
Funders -- private and
public -- who are now afraid to give any more money to an enterprise
that could crumble at any moment could instead be approached to
fund retraining (where necessary) of the current members of the
Graham troupe as teachers, stagers, and notators; licensing fees
for staging the work at other dance companies and universities;
reinforcing the Graham School; a Graham archive; and, most important,
a robust Graham Trust charged with notating, licensing and staging
the work -- similar to the Balanchine Trust which has seen the Balanchine
repertoire propagated around the world, independent of its mixed
fate at the New York City Ballet. Legendary Graham dancers Terese
Capucilli and Christine Dakin, ignobly fired
by the Graham board last year, could be approached to direct this
trust. In recognition of their long devotion (and suffering, while
others debated their fate), funds could also be set to pay for transitional
training for the current Graham dancers.
As for the Graham company's
current artistic director, Janet Eilber, perhaps as part of her
severance package the Graham board could send her on a long cruise
where she can 'contextualize'
Martha Graham to her heart's content, calling when needed on Richard
Move for comic relief.

Fireside Chats: Zach Braff on Why He Wanted to Use Kickstarter
Kate Hudson, Josh Gad and Mandy Patinkin praise Zach Braff for his unique script for Wish I Was Here and choosing to have the movie funded by his fans. "The beauty of the crowd funding was there was no outside financing other than the fans," says Braff. "I was able to choose all of my first choice for all of the roles and I was lucky enough that they liked it."

In 2014, the number of people who follow a gluten free diet, due to gluten sensitivity or a general desire for healthier eating is on the rise. Gluten sensitivity can cause symptoms like headaches, fatigue, joint pain, rashes, and intestinal issues which can cause malabsorption of vital minerals and nutrients.
Many people who strictly follow a gluten free diet may find that they are also sensitive to gluten topically, however Dr. Michael F. Picco believes that the issues are due to ingestion of gluten-containing products rather than topical allergies. "Some people develop a form of celiac disease called dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), which causes an itchy, blistering rash. This skin disorder is also linked to gluten intolerance. But although it involves the skin, DH is caused by ingesting gluten, not by skin contact with gluten. So, eliminating gluten from your diet will help clear up DH as well." A person with DH will require gluten free cosmetics for use on any area of the skin that is broken, where gluten can enter the body without being absorbed by the skin.
"Gluten-containing skin care products and cosmetics aren't a problem unless you accidentally swallow them. For this reason, avoid using such products on your lips or around your mouth. Also, avoid using gluten-containing dental products, such as certain mouthwashes and toothpastes." This should also include products used around the eyes for a person who is very sensitive. Those with Celiac disease generally feel that they do react to cosmetic products containing gluten, though and prefer to strictly use products that are gluten free.
It's difficult to know whether the gluten or some other ingredient in a product is the cause of a skin reaction. There are ingredients in skin care products that can be confusing to classify as gluten free or not. Interestingly, it seems that the companies producing these products are generally also free of parabens, pthalates, chemical fragrances, dyes, mineral oil, and animal products. Many are plant based, using essential oils for holistic benefits. They're a healthier choice regardless, as it is estimated that 60% of the cosmetics used are absorbed through the skin.
Here are a few companies that offer gluten free cosmetics and personal care products that I have personally tried and liked:
Better Botanicals. The company has a wonderful philosophy about utilizing herbs for efficacy and takes a very holistic approach to skincare. I've tried and reviewed their products in the past, and have a favorite that has now become a must-have in my skincare routine. All of their products are gluten free except for the Neem Care Shampoo, the Amla Shine Daily Shampoo and Conditioner and the Ayurvedic Hydrating Body Oil.
Kiss My Face. With a mission to provide products that are natural, effective and cruelty free, Kiss My Face offers a wide variety of skin and body care. I've tried and reviewed some of their products in the past, and have recently had the opportunity to try a couple more. They have a wonderful search feature on their website which filters the products that are gluten free. They sent me the Tea Tree Moisturizing Hand Soap recently, which I really liked because it was non-drying and smelled very strongly of tea tree oil. They also sent their Cold & Flu Shower and Bath Gel, which I loved! They definitely do not skimp on the essential oils in their products. This shower gel is a great choice for anyone who is feeling under the weather. Eucalyptus is also particularly good for relieving tension, stress and headaches as well.
Crazy Rumors. I've tried and reviewed their lip balms in the past and really loved them. They don't just smell good; they taste good too. With natural ingredients like Pure Essential Oils, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Shea Butter – the flavors are mild but noticeable and not like taking a bite out of artificially fragrance perfumed sticks. And they don't leave my lips feeling sticky.
Method. With an array of home care cleaning products and hand washes available, Method boasts a 100% gluten free product line. I've tried and reviewed several of their products, most recently their Soap for Hope in the Botanical scent. It sits on my sink with an adorable mustache printed bottle, smells wonderful and doesn't dry out my skin. I love this company for their environmental commitment as well as their non-toxic cleaning products that work just as well as they smell. The purchase of this soap helps to raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer and prostate cancer.

THE WESTERN Upper Peninsula Convention and Visitors Bureau has moved. The office is at 405 N. Lake St. in Ironwood.
IRONWOOD — Big changes have taken place at the Western Upper Peninsula Convention and Visitors Bureau in Ironwood in the past year.
In November, the bureau moved to a new location, downsizing from the previous spot.
It has launched a state-of-the-art website, geared at attracting more visitors.
The new office is at 405 N. Lake St. in Ironwood.
Office manager Donna Kauppi, said, "We moved here in November, and things have been going great. We have a lot more exposure here, and we have a lot more foot traffic than we had before."
According to WUPCVB board president Dick Swanson, the move was instigated by an initiative to become more efficient.
"We have limited funds for what we need to do, so we decided to downsize to become more efficient," Swanson said. "Over the past year and a half, we have done strategic planning session on how to be more efficient and have better use of our dollars."
The rent is cheaper and the office is more easily located.
"We've reduced our operating expenses and become more efficient, as well as becoming more of a service to travelers coming to this area," Swanson said.
Technology upgrades
In conjunction with being more efficient, Swanson said that many of the board members have taken on extra responsibilities to help cut costs.
After former executive director Diana (Dee Gee) Pawlicki died in 2011, the bureau discussed different options to replace her, including hiring a new person, or splitting the responsibilities among board members.
"Right now, I am the board president and kind of the acting executive director," Swanson said. "The direction we have gone is having board members picking up extra responsibilities, so we haven't really needed an executive director position."
The board did decide to hire a marketing manager to help display services the bureau has to offer.
The new website has "loads of information on it," according to Swanson, and has helped the board analyze where things need to be improved.
"Before, we never did surveys or research on what was working or not working," Swanson said. "Now, we're analyzing everything. The website is great, featuring information on businesses and attractions for tourists. It can be seen on mobile devices and is incredibly interactive.
"We would love for people to see our website, to have more eyes on it and to give feedback. We would also love for people to stop in and see the new office."
For more information, call the bureau at 906-932-4850, or visit explorewesternup.com.
