@Mr Anon E Mouse
I can see you are a negative thinker, I guess since you probably being living in a cave lately, and unclear about the conditions of our economy. Not everyone that takes a job in fast food is unskilled, in fact, I completely understand with fewer jobs, many wonderful workers, that have great work ethics are working in the industries. Refrain from putting people down, that is what our biggest problem is here today, So many negative, uncaring, greedy, close minded people. JS Taco bell and others should consider making good honest workers full time regardless of obamacare... Regardless of which, I am not in favor of the health care bill, I hope soon it will be done away with to help all people. However until than do not frown on the people that makes your business and you profit, we did not do it, we just at the bottom without no voice, hope these companies feel the pain they cause, and have a heart, I am sure it could be a way to keep all in harmony..... @Mr Anon E Mouse since your comment, I would ask a good solution to compromise and meet both the companies and employees' interest. Please instead of complaining, think, write and let's all stand together to help make things right......
Taco Bell Franchise Cuts Worker Hours to Avoid Giving Them Health Coverage Under Obamacare
A Taco Bell in Guthrie, Oklahoma is cutting all its restaurant workers' hours to part-time in order to skirt federal law requiring them to provide health insurance for employees.
Nearly 20 employees work for this particular Taco Bell franchise. They were informed just before Christmas that everyone's hours would be cut to 28 hours or less per week because the owners disliked the Obamacare requirement that large companies had to help provide health coverage for workers.
Among those employees affected is Johnna Davis, a single mother of three who relied on her full-time hours to support her family. News 9 has more on her struggle:
Johnna Davis has worked at the Taco Bell in Guthrie since September. She's seen a 200 dollar cut in her paycheck since a new store policy went into effect.
"What we were being told was one thing, and that was, 'we're going to offer benefits, we'll just keep all of our full time employees and then come December, their whole story changed," Johnna Davis said. [...]
Now this single mother of 3 is looking for a new full-time job. Nearly 20 employees their have seen their hours cut.
The Guthrie restaurant is owned by a Missouri-based company named Treadwell Enterprises, which told News 9 that it would allow supervisors and managers to work full-time, but not workers.
Taco Bell is not a struggling brand scraping by to make ends meet. The company saw a banner year in 2012, with its parent corporation enjoying a 73 percent jump in profits in the beginning of the year and an additional 23 percent increase later in the year.
Other restaurants have attempted this ill-conceived move as well. This fall, when a Denny's franchise announced it would cut its workers' hours to avoid the health care law, the corporate office distanced itself from the move. Similarly, when Darden Restaurants, which includes Olive Garden and Red Lobster, looked to cut hours, the public backlash resulted in a hasty 37 percent drop in profits. Other restaurants have attempted (and mostly retracted) the same ploy, including Papa John's and Wendy's.
Call for comment from Taco Bell's corporate offices was not immediately returned.

At this time last March, "P-Rich" was finishing the Colorado football team's off-season conditioning program, and to paraphrase anyone - coaches, teammates, strength and conditioning staffers - who routinely watched him work, the sinewy kid from California "killed it."
Intensely driven to rehab a knee injury that sabotaged his 2011 season, Richardson raced through everything put in front of him and more. He told strength and conditioning assistant Steve Englehart: "'Coach, I feel like I'm a monster. This is what I was made to do.'"
Monster or not, he still had a man's frailties, and three days before the end of last spring's work Richardson reinjured the knee that had shortened his previous season. This time, the injury was more serious. In a non-contact special teams drill, he suffered a torn left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and also had cartilage damage.
After undergoing surgery a week later, rehabbing like the "monster" he felt he had become and believing he might be available for the opening of CU's 2012 Pac-12 Conference schedule, a collaborative decision among Richardson, his parents and the former coaching staff shelved him for the Buffaloes' entire woeful fall (1-11).
His waiting game grew longer, his patience was taxed. And if you think Richardson kept track of how long it's been, you would be correct. "I've counted the minutes, the hours, the days, the weeks," a humbled and focused Richardson told me the other day. "It'll be 17 months before I play my next game. That's the most games I've watched in my whole life. It seems like a very, very long time."
That's only because it has been. Much has happened in CU football since "P-Rich" ran his last Saturday route and caught his last pass. When spring ball opens Thursday, he will be playing for his third head coach (Mike MacIntyre) and third position coach (Troy Walters). Richardson is listed as probable for spring participation, although he believes his status could be upgraded. He says he's functioning at "99 percent."
But this coaching staff, like its predecessors, doesn't want to gamble with "P-Rich." If he regains his early 2011 form - which he expects to surpass - he will be a proven playmaker at a position that should be much improved in MacIntyre's revamped offense.
Richardson missed four games in 2011, but finished with 39 catches for 555 yards and five touchdowns. He set a single-game school record for receiving yards (284) and tied the single-game reception mark (11) in Game 2 against California. He has six career plays that have gone for over 50 yards, all receptions and five of them for TDs.
But as Richardson concedes, those are old numbers. He's ready to begin working toward a new set, but most of all he's simply eager "for the competition," he said. "The coaches have emphasized that everyone is starting off with a clean slate; there's no depth chart. Guys can earn a first spot, a second spot, a third spot.
"I feel like the level of competition is going to be high and the people who have put in the extra work this off-season and have challenged themselves are going to stand out this spring. We've had a handful of guys who have been putting in the extra work, and I know for sure they've been out there with me. I can't wait to see them excel this spring when they finally get the opportunities they didn't get in the past."
Coming out of a different winter conditioning program, Richardson believes the Buffs were more mentally challenged this off-season than last. "The demand is still high and requires hard work and a high-level work ethic," he said. "We were put through different things to prepare us for how we're going to practice. By each position, your workout is a little different. You got to be able to think on what you've got to do then execute . . . once you get tired, that's when the physical and mental aspects pick up. It's mind over matter; you have to work through being tired."
Richardson said MacIntyre and his staff "for the most part" have been embraced by the returning players. "I've been here through three coaches and I feel there's some type of resilience that has to go on in rebuilding when you're going to play for someone who didn't recruit you. There's always a little of that, there's always a little of guys being scared, not being sure. But I think as a team we've grown to accept these coaches and they've grown to accept us. We've been working together. In my group, we've embraced our new coach and our head coach. We're anxious to get after it with each other this spring."
In addition to Richardson, receivers returning who saw extensive playing time last season are juniors Tyler McCulloch and Keenan Canty, sophomores Nelson Spruce and Gerald Thomas. Among that foursome, Spruce's 44 receptions for 446 yards and three TDs were team highs. And from what he's seen in winter work, Richardson expects January enrollee Jeff Thomas, a 2012 signee, to quickly become a presence at the position. Thomas, 6-3 and 195 pounds, was doing that last August before he went home (Dallas) for personal reasons and delayed his enrollment.
I asked Richardson if he would be surprised if CU is picked to finish last in the Pac-12 this fall. He answered, "No . . . and if there was a spot worse than last I figure we'd get that. You never know about the Pac-12. There were a couple of teams in the Pac-12 that people thought would compete for the national championship last year.
"Teams lost games they thought they should have won . . . teams won games they maybe shouldn't have. With us, we have everything to gain. We have less pressure on us to go out and compete than some teams that think they have to live up to expectations. There's not much expectation (outside) if you're picked to finish last in your conference."
But Richardson says his expectations and those of his teammates aren't aligned with outsiders' or anyone's who will cast a preseason vote on the order of the Pac-12 finish.
"I think we're going to be more than ready to compete this fall," he said. "I think we're going to do more than compete; we're going to win games. I expect nothing less than a bowl game this year. I'm sure we'll be above .500 - and that's just how confident I am in my group and my offense. I think we're going to be strong.
"I'm not with the defense, but the attitude and energy our defensive coaches have brought in, I can't wait to go against those guys this spring. I know ultimately we're working to get each other better. I'm more than confident we're going to turn a lot of heads, close a lot of mouths and some jaws are going to drop at the same time. And I'm going to be happy to be a part of it."
That's easy enough to say in early March, especially coming from a guy who didn't go through the beat-downs in 2012. But maybe that's why Richardson believes it. "I feel like it's true," he said. "I'm not saying it because I'm an older guy. I'm not saying it because I'm going to be here or what I think I can bring to the table.
"I'm saying it because I'm in the locker room with these guys, the weight room with these guys . . . I have that much confidence, that much faith in our team and coaches and our community."
Not being a part of the horrific 2012 season, not being able to do contribute something when everything was falling apart impacted Richardson. In one way, he said, "It just built some expectations for next season . . . I was able to watch and experience the bad. I had to grow up and mature. I know I'm going to have a better season this year than I would have had last year."
Richardson, who turns 21 on the day of CU's spring game (Saturday, April 13), stands 6-1 and said last spring he weighed 177 pounds. He says he has "put on a little weight," but grinned and graciously declined to offer his poundage. He also says he is "a lot stronger and faster" and that he further motivated himself by watching high school friends such as Robert Woods (Southern California receiver) compete in the NFL Combine.
"That added a little fuel to my fire," Richardson said. "I congratulated all those guys, especially Robert. He said the combine wasn't as hard as he thought it would be and that I would 'kill it' and he couldn't wait to see me perform. That let me know I'm where I'm supposed to be right now. Guys like him are where they are now because they're blessed to have that opportunity.
"I'm blessed because I'm able to come back another year for a reason. You go home and see these guys and you've got to have something to talk about. I don't want to be talking about another losing season next December."

February is generally a lackluster month for Hollywood at the box office. The hype for Oscar season films ends in December, nominations are cast in January and the month of February is a time for audiences to catch up on the most critically acclaimed films. This also allows audiences to take a break from the non-stop parade of emotionally heart-wrenching films they see and experience some classic popcorn fodder.
The offerings at theaters for February 2014 featured plenty of screens showing Oscar material like "American Hustle," "12 Years a Slave," "Her," "Philomena" and "Dallas Buyers Club" in addition to a crop of movies released solely for their entertainment value. Here is a list of some of the usual Hollywood offerings that draw in money for February and a couple of surprises that raked in more cash than expected.
One of the most surprising film successes of the February box office is "The LEGO Movie." (watch trailer) It is a heartwarming story of an extremely average LEGO character, voiced by Chris Pratt, who gets drafted into a league of extraordinary Lego characters to help save the world from an evil businessman. The cast also includes voices from Will Ferrell, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman and Charlie Day. The movie marks the LEGO company's first foray into feature films, and a controversial story on Fox News about how the story promotes socialism and is anti-business has helped it gain plenty of buzz.
There is never a bad time for a "blow 'em up" action movie to hit theaters, especially if it features Hollywood heavyweight Liam Neeson as a U.S. Air Marshall. This film takes place 40,000 feet in the air and provides constant action throughout its 110 minute run time. Neeson's character must find out who is killing passengers on his plane every 20 minutes until he receives $150 million into his bank account. The movie also includes Julianne Moore and a stellar cast of Hollywood's young talent to fill it out. (watch trailer)
While Hollywood may not be the most religious part of modern society, there is a huge market for films based on Biblical stories. "Son of God" (watch trailer) tries to reveal the authenticity of the historical accounts of Jesus Christ. While the critical reviews for the movie are not that great and it has been poorly compared to "The Passion of the Christ," it still gets the job done in providing a night at the movies for an audience who usually does not go for the modern Hollywood fare. With the popularity of this movie, "The Passion of the Christ" and History Channel's "The Bible," audiences should expect to see more religious films in the future.
"Lethal Weapon," "Rush Hour" and even "Die Hard" have all played off of two people of opposite races getting together to stop a criminal mastermind from getting his way. "Ride Along" (watch trailer) takes this same concept and presents it in a post-racial sense with Ice Cube playing a tough street cop and Kevin Hart playing a high school security guard trying to win his favor to marry his sister. While the movie is getting slammed by critics, audiences seem to like it and have made it one of the biggest hits of early 2014.
This film has all of the biggest names in Hollywood in it. Stars like Matt Damon, George Clooney, Bill Murray, John Goodman and Cate Blanchett should have made "The Monuments Men" (watch trailer) a major success at the box office, but less-than-stellar reviews kept audiences from seeing it. Critics panned the film as being a dull historical piece instead of featuring character development of its A-list cast. Despite the unfavorable reviews, the film still made enough money at the box office to be a top hit in the month of February.
While February may be a time for audiences to catch up on the Oscar nominations for the season, it is also a popular time for family-oriented movies and action movies that do not require as much of a critical eye as their award-season counterparts. While some Oscar winners go on to be forgotten a couple of years later, movies like "The Lego Movie" and "Frozen" will become cherished childhood memories passed down to new generations of movie fans.
Audiences may not get $300 million Michael Bay blockbusters in the month of February or serious dramas like "The Godfather" or "Goodfellas," but they do get solid stories that do not require as much emotional investment.

Processing going on ...
Olay pioneered the use of niacinamide (or Vitamin B3) 15 years ago – a perfect example of harnessing the most sophisticated science for results women love. Our latest research indicates a new benefit: that niacinamide can boost cell energy and reduce immediate micro-damage from UV exposure.
We've known for a while that niacinamide strengthens the skin's moisture barrier, increases the production of collagen, and has been shown to reduce uneven texture and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Rest assured that Olay will continue to push the boundaries of science so your recommendations are always based on our best innovation.
Head & Shoulders has been at the forefront of scalp skin and hair science for more than 50 years. In 1961, we introduced zinc pyrithione, or ZPT, the world's most successful anti-dandruff ingredient. And in 2007, Head & Shoulders researchers mapped the genome of the fungus Malasezzia globosa. This breakthrough enabled us to develop a proprietary ZPT formula optimized at the molecular level to have the most impact on the source of dandruff.
Today, Head & Shoulders is the #1 dermatologist-recommended anti-dandruff shampoo and the brand dermatologists use most in their own homes. It's also the world's #1 shampoo! Why? Because Head & Shoulders combines advanced scalp care with the best ingredients of cosmetic shampoos to keep hair looking beautiful even as it helps prevent dandruff-related damage.
Your patients with sensitive skin don't have to sacrifice cleaning power for a detergent that is non-irritating. New data shows that Tide® Free & Gentle provides a better clean while being gentle to skin in multiple dermatologist-supervised studies or tests. In fact, Tide Pods Free & Gentle outperforms the leading free detergent on 10 different stains, including blood, coffee and grass stains, and is mild on sensitive skin.
Caring for sensitive skin doesn't stop with detergent – the entire laundry regimen needs to be free of dyes and perfumes. Fabric softeners that do not contain dyes or fragrance, such as Downy® Free & Gentle, may also have additional sensitive skin benefits, such as reducing friction between clothes and skin, and therefore, reducing skin irritation.
Recommend products that complement your patient's skin health needs while also helping them achieve the optimal result of clean laundry.
Men want a close shave, without irritation -- especially men with sensitive skin, acne and PFB. Building on the innovation of King C. Gillette, inventor of the safety razor, Gillette is the world's #1 selling razor brand.
Research shows the benefits of Gillette's signature five-bladed razor technology. Placing Gillette Fusion ProGlide's five blades closer together than a three-bladed razor reduces skin bulge for a more comfortable shave. And Gillette's blade stabilizer helps maintain an optimal distance between the blades as the razor moves over the face.
Even with daily use, Fusion ProGlide razors are well-tolerated and safe. Gillette's thinnest, finest blades are treated with a low-resistance coating to glide over skin and through hair with less tug and pull. In a 28-day trial, manual and powered Gillette Fusion ProGlide five-bladed razors were found to be a great option for men with self-assessed sensitive skin.

About Us
The NEES@UCSB facility consists of permanently-instrumented geotechnical test sites designed to improve our understanding of the effects of surface geology on strong ground motion. The instrumentation at these sites includes surface and borehole arrays of accelerometers and pore pressure transducers designed to record strong ground motions, excess pore pressure generation and liquefaction that occurs during large earthquakes. An instrumented structure is also monitored to improve our understanding of soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) effects.
Soil-Foundation Structure-Interaction Experiment Captures Valuable Data Set for Research and Education
Two experimental soil-foundation-structure-in- teraction (SFSI) structures installed side-by-side at the NEES@UCSB Garner Valley field site are fully instrumented to record their response to am- bient earthquakes.
The NEES@UCSB Garner Valley facility was recently enhanced to include a unique cross-hole array experiment. The new permanent cross-hole array includes two geophones and a solenoid-activated dual-direction hammer source at 5 meters depth.
Using ground motions recorded from a M4.1 event at the NEES@UCSB Garner Valley field site, Amit Chourasia of the San Diego Supercomputer Center generated animations of the ground motion response in the soil column.
The Wildlife Liquefaction Array (WLA) is a ground motion monitoring and liquefaction research site located at the southern most terminus of the San Andreas Fault system. The WLA field site records numerous earthquakes daily in this seismically active area. WLA is situated in California's...

A&C Plastics
Service. It's What We Deliver.
It comes in every color of the rainbow – and over a hundred more. It can be sliced as thin as .020 of an inch, or up to four inches. Best of all, it's free. "At A&C Plastics, what we sell is service," explains President Carolyn Faulk. "We throw in the plastic for free."
It's an unusual business philosophy – but it works.
Plastic from the Houston-based "distributors' distributor" can be found everywhere from greenhouses to skylights, shopping malls to stadiums. It has shielded media representatives at major golf tournaments and hockey fans at Toyota Center in Houston, and gone up in space as a tiny but essential part of astronauts' suits. It has withstood dancers' feet on So You Think You Can Dance and been used in podiums for the Oscars and other awards shows.
The window that allows visitors to see into the engine room of the Battle Ship of Texas in Galveston? That's A&C plastic, too.
In all, Faulk says, the company sells to some 15 industries, especially the sign, skylight, greenhouse, point-of-purchase and fabrication industries. A&C is the largest single plastics distributor in the U.S., with annual sales of over $23 million, 45 employees, and shipping locations in Houston, Chicago and Colorado Springs. The company recently enlarged its warehouse space to over 170,000 square feet in response to growing customer demand. Its inventory has been expanded as well.
Service Above Self
As much as Faulk enjoys spotting the company's plastic on television or describing its wide and unusual variety of uses, what really sets A&C apart, she says, is its exemplary customer service.
"We believe in service above self," Faulk says, "and we work hard to make every customer feel like they're the only one we have. We do everything possible to make it quick and easy to buy from us, because we understand time is money." All orders are shipped the day they are received; customers never have to wonder when their purchase will arrive, because they receive a follow-up email with a tracking number and delivery date.
"As I often tell my employees, if you have bad service at a restaurant you're not going to go back, even if the meal was great," Faulk says. "At A&C Plastics, we're large enough to serve you, and small enough to know you."

Vancouver '08 (Songlines SGL SA1577-2)
Jerry Granelli (drums), David Tronzo (electric slide guitar), Christian Kogel (electric guitar), J. Anthony Granelli (electric bass).
Composed by J. Anthony Granelli.
Recorded: The Factory, Vancouver, British Columbia, October 20-21, 2008
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Wow, talk about being in the moment! While the descriptions can lapse into cliché, sometimes the idea is completely appropriate – Granelli's V16 does play like they're of one mind. Yes, there is your verbal cliché. I have often referred to musicians employing a kind of "jazz groupthink," though in this case there's no reason to avoid that linguistic construct because it's the truth.
The core of V16's sound is formed by the twin guitars of David Tronzo and Christian Kogel. They follow each other's thoughts, shift them slightly, make sly exterior references (Tronzo's slide angled against Kogel makes for some terrific Ornette-isms), and continue on the adventure of thematic development. The father and son team of Jerry and J. Anthony Granelli shouldn't be cast as mere "rhythm section" because they're equal parts of a team effort, with a bass passage or cymbal wash just as likely to complete a thought as the next guitar line.
"Murder Ballad" is a modern, noir-ish blues that feels quite unconventional. Maybe it's the instrumental lineup, or maybe it's just this group's ability to produce inner detail by their superior powers of focus, but the music develops some serious emotional weight.

NSA, Getty Images
"By the very nature of the intelligence business, it is difficult to discuss much of the NSA mission." — National Security Agency Web site
In this post-Sept. 11 world, plans by the National Security Agency to construct a colossal $1.9 billion information storage center at Camp Williams could be considered a power trip.
But it's not the sort of power trip that keeps civil libertarians lying awake at night.
No, this power grab is for the stuff of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla — the juice needed to keep acres of NSA supercomputers humming and a cyber eye peeled for the world's bad guys.
Nearly a decade into the new millennium, America's spy agency is power gridlocked at its sprawling Fort Meade, Md., headquarters. The NSA, which devours electricity the same way teenage boys wolf down french fries at McDonald's, has been forced to look elsewhere to feed its ravenous AC/DC appetite.
"At the NSA, electrical power is political power. In its top-secret world, the coin of the realm is the kilowatt," writes national security authority and author James Bamford.
It's a simple equation: More data coming in means more reports going out. More reports going out means more political clout for the agency, Bamford writes.
Intelligence historian and author Matthew M. Aid considers the NSA's quest for power a driving factor in the NSA's selection of Camp Williams, which covers 28,000 acres bordering Utah and Salt Lake counties.
During an Oct. 23 news conference at the state Capitol officially announcing the new spy center, Glenn Gaffney, deputy director of national intelligence for collection, said as much when he confirmed that one of the strengths of the Utah location was that it "offered an abundant availability of low-cost power."
There's been some speculation that the Camp Williams facility dovetails with the NSA's controversial attempts to further establish itself as the lead dog for the government's expanding cybersecurity initiatives, although NSA officials aren't tipping their hand.
"I can't get into some of the specific details of the kind of work that will go on at the center because it is a critical aspect of the way we are looking at doing cybersecurity going forward," Gaffney said in his best NSA-ese. "I can say that the reason why we are doing the center is because of the deep level of technical expertise that's needed to understand the nature of the threats."
Given the NSA's penchant for speaking little and revealing less, it sounds like he's saying, "Trust us."
Zeros gone wild
The virtual mountains of data needing such huge levels of power to mine can be brain-numbing. Think zeros gone wild.
A 2008 report by the MITRE Corp., prepared for the Department of Defense, conservatively estimates that the high volumes of data storage required for NSA eavesdropping will reach the petabyte level by 2015. A petabyte is one quadrillion bytes (1,000,000,000,000,000).
There has been even wilder speculation that data storage may reach the yottabyte level within that same time frame. A yottabyte, the largest unit of measure for computer data, equals 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.
Either way, the NSA is already drowning in information. The agency's former director, Lt. Gen. Michael V. Hayden, admitted the NSA "is collecting far more data than it processes, and that the agency processes more data than it actually reports to its consumers."

It turns out that B.o.B. is basically just a teenager in a Twisted Sister video after all. After releasing his second album Strange Clouds earlier this year, Bobby Ray has expressed an eagerness to switch gears on his upcoming effort, a yet-untitled EP that the rapper/guitarist (MTV's phrase, not ours) says will be a more rock-oriented affair. (Apparently this was already promised in Strange Clouds' "Ray Bands," where he rapped "I don't pop bottles, I got pop dollars / And after Strange Clouds, I'ma drop my rock album," so bad on us for not digging into his prophetic deep cuts to see this coming.)
"I've been holding back so much rock for so long," says B.o.B. of the switch-up. (Again, MTV's itals, not ours.) "I have been performing with my band for a while, so I guess this is a real good canvas for me to paint on…No one's really expecting anything so I can do what I want to do." True for any number of reasons, really.
Anyway, this should be interesting, since the only rock we know of to come from Bobby so far is that Vampire Weekend sample on his debut and T.I.'s allusion on Drake's "Fancy" to how a woman "play these suckers just like B.o.B. play the guitar," later sampled on Ray's own "Play the Guitar." The whole rap thing was getting a little stale anyway—Strange Clouds sold what, 76k in its first week? Downwards trending for sure, so perhaps strapping on a Fender Stratocaster and digging for some good Lynyrd Skynyrd samples is the answer towards reversing that.

What does student success actually mean?
Filed Under "At-risk" students, Behaviour Management, Bullying, Dealing With Stress, maintaining a safe, motivating students, positive climate, Special Education, underachieving students
Of course I want my students to be successful. All teachers do. But, I think the Ministry of Education and I have different ideas about what student success means. I don't think students are successful if they only develop intellectual skills. Earning a high school diploma may be a necessary condition for student success, but it is not a sufficient condition for achieving student success. Students aren't just one dimensional beings. Students, like everyone else, are multidimensional. We all have an intellectual, emotional and spiritual dimension that needs nurturing. Students need help developing intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually (not in a religious sense but in the sense of dealing with alienation, with sense of identity, ) . So Ministry of Education, what are you going to do to help meet the spiritual needs of students?

A student is successful when you meet him/her after 20 years from graduation and she/he thanks you eagerly.
Ron Hanko on

I have more and more come to the same conclusion, Elona, that there is a great deal more to education than developing intellectual skills. I would consider a teacher successful who manages to interest a student in one or another area with an interest that develops and grows over the years. Some of the best teachers I had were able to do that, one in natural history and one in poetry, especially 17th century poetry.
As to orchids, my eagerness to see them bloom has been tempered over the years and is probably affected also by the fact that I usually have something in bloom, but the thrill of seeing something new bloom still has not gone away.

Immediate Release**
Aggies Fight Their Way to Fourth Win, 78-70
- by Scott Puryear of OPSU Sports on 12/10/07
Goodwell, Okla. - Ten different Oklahoma Panhandle State players scored on Saturday night as the Aggies topped Johnson & Wales 78-70. The victory was the third straight for the Aggies and upped their season record to 4-2.
The Aggies were in control for nearly the entire game and opened leads by as many as 23 points in the first half and 20 in the second half. However, a pesky Johnson & Wales team just would not go away and got as close as six points more than once in the closing minutes.
OPSU held a 43-27 advantage at the halftime break.
Will Stephenson led the way for the Aggies with 22 points (two above his season average) and Basil Laslie canned 19. LaChawn Anderson scored 14, Fred Durr hit ten and the hard working Luke Ogden netted nine.
Durr's eight rebounds was the game high, while Stephenson and Ogden each pulled down five. Stephenson also had three steals.
With coach Jerry Olson substituting often, the OPSU speed and athleticism gave fans a very good look at the level of talent on this year's team.
The Aggies should hit Heartland Conference play at full stride starting in January and they have solid and talented senior leadership with players like Durr, Stephenson and Anderson.
OPSU will be on their home court again on Friday against Angelo State University. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m.

Your monthly credit card statement tells you a lot more than just how much you owe and when to pay it by.
You can receive your credit card statement in 2 ways; one is the traditional way where its printed onto paper, popped in an envelope and posted to you. The other, much more convenient route is online. If you have a Capital One credit card you can register for Online Account Servicing and you won't need to wait for your latest statement to be delivered.
Whichever way you choose to receive your credit card statement it will have the same important information available.
The outstanding balance is the total amount you owe including all interest and charges up to the statement date.
It's important that you make this payment on time each month. If you don't, you will incur additional charges and damage your credit rating. If you choose to only ever make the minimum repayment it will take you longer to pay off your debt and will cost you more.
This is the date by which your credit card provider must have received your payment, so you need to consider how long it will take for the payment to reach them. You need to pay at least the minimum amount requested or you will incur additional charges and damage your credit rating.
This shows you the interest rates for different types of borrowing. For example, the interest rates for purchases, balance transfers and cash withdrawals may all be different. The fees and charges will show on your statement like normal transactions. Find out more information about interest rates.

Health and health care are at a critical crossroads in China. In an effort to improve public health and broaden access to effective medical care, the Chinese government has implemented pilot programs in national health insurance, mandated sweeping reforms in medical education, and recently initiated a public campaign against drug company kick-backs to physicians. Though incomplete and unsuccessful to date, these changes signal a growing recognition of the interrelatedness of health and human rights among Chinese health and governmental policy makers.
In this three year sequence of annual symposia, we propose to examine case studies related to health and human rights in modern China. The first symposium will primarily focus on the complex issues of the current state of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China, discussing progress and challenges in the battle against disease and actions taken to improve humanitarian conditions among the vulnerable populations in China, including men who have sex with men, injection drug users, commercial sex workers, and plasma donors. A diverse group of experts from public health, medicine, social science, and civil society will come together to discuss these topics from unique perspectives.
This symposium is part of the Health and Human Rights initiative supported by the Richard and Ann Pozen Fund at the University of Chicago Human Rights Program.
HIV in China: Lessons and Challenges Symposium
Thursday, February 27; 8:30am – 12:30pm
Classics Building, Room 110 (1010 E. 59th Street)
Breakfast will be served starting at 8:15am

By 7 a.m. on Day One after surgery, you can expect to be bathed, dressed, helped out of bed, and seated in a recliner in your room. Your surgeon and physician's assistant will visit you in the morning. Group therapy begins at 9 a.m. and the afternoon session begins at 1 p.m. The physical therapist will get you walking with a walker. Your coach is encouraged to be present as much as possible. Visitors are welcome, preferably late afternoons or evenings until 8 p.m.
On Day Two after surgery, we will help you get dressed and out of bed. It will be much easier today. Shorts and tops are usually best; long pants are restrictive. Group therapy is at 9 a.m. It is helpful if your coach attends these sessions. You will practice getting in and out of bed and you may even begin walking stairs this afternoon. Your appetite should start to improve. Evenings are free for friends to visit.
You may be discharged home today. More and more patients are meeting their discharge goals on day two. Your surgeon and the hospital staff will let you know if this applies to you.
Day Three is similar to day two in the morning. Please be sure your coach attends your group therapy class today. If your physical therapist clears you for discharge, you will go home after the morning group therapy session. Occasionally, people have to stay for the afternoon therapy class and go home after that.

NEW SWEDEN - Matthew Forbes Turnbull, 23, passed away suddenly Nov. 8, 2012. Matthew was born Jan. 11, 1989, at Cary Medical Center, the youngest son of Alan and Lynn Turnbull.
Matthew had many passions and interests, but his favorite was spending time with his family at their farm in New Sweden and camp at Little Madawaska Lake. Matthew graduated from Caribou High School in 2007, and went on to study welding and commercial truck driving at Northern Maine Community College, where he developed many strong friendships with students and professors alike. Listeners to 101.9 FM, the Rock, were entertained by Matthew as "Nameless the Intern," and special friends, Brian Mosher, Doug Cronkhite and Jack LeVangee. Matthew helped and avidly supported "Common Crossing," his favorite local band. Matthew was always quick with a joke and a smile, he truly was "Living the dream," as he would tell those who asked how he was doing. Matthew frequently had lunch with "Momma" and "Dad" at The Aroostook Medical Center and enjoyed regular outings to Eureka Hall. Most of Matthew's spare time was spent working in the barn with oldest brother, Joshua and "sister-in-love," Cassie, as the CMO, or "Chief Manure Officer," of Turnbull Farms Dairy. Matthew dearly loved his two nieces, Isabelle and Hattie;and big brother, Seth and his wife, Lacie. Matthew was the heart and soul of the farm, and loved all the animals, especially his black lab and constant companion, Phoebe.
Matthew is survived by many loving friends and family, including parents, Alan and Lynn Turnbull of New Sweden; brother and sister-in-law, Joshua and Katherine "Cassie" Turnbull also of New Sweden; brother and sister-in-law, Seth and Lacie Philbrick-Turnbull of Brunswick; nieces Isabelle and Hattie Philbrick-Turnbull of Brunswick; sister, Sarah Johnson and husband, Michael, of Honolulu; aunts and uncles, Bonnie and Jeff Bouchard of Madawaska Lake, Bryan and Debbie Forbes of Madawaska Lake, Ann and Todd Stephenson of Mapleton and Peter Turnbull of Lincoln; grandmother, Mildred Forbes of Madawaska Lake; grandmother, Eva Turnbull of Lincoln;, and great-auntie, Karen Wakem of Caribou. Matthew was predeceased by great-grandparents, Arnold and Lillian Forsman and Stratton and Crystal Forbes; grandfather, Llewellyn Forbes; grandfather, Ferdinand Turnbull; and uncle, Paul Turnbull.
Family and friends may call 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, at Lancaster-Morgan Funeral Home, Caribou, where a funeral service will be held 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, with Pastor Gordon Compton officiating. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at
We will always love you, Matty.

Asgard is a large planet, havine tweleve continents and decent size oceans. The land is mountainous, with large old growth forests, some very nice beaches, many winding rivers. The world is temperate, has basically the same gravity as Eath. There isn't a moon around Asgard. Instead their is Vanaheim. The two worlds are very close (distance wise) and orbit each other while orbiting the sun. (Think around Jupiters size)
Vanaheim is slightly smaller then Asgard with Eight continents and larger oceans. The world has very rugged mountains in the North, The south is dominated by gentler rolling mountianes. Like Asgard the world is temperate and is covered in lush forests, there are many lakes and rivers. Vanaheim's beaches are superior to Asgard's and, and the water is crystal clear.
Alfheim is roughly the same as Earth and is the third planet in the Asgard solar system. It has two moons orbiting it, one which can support life the other is a small moon like Earth's moon.
Nidavelir: Is larger then Earth but not by much. The world is mainly covered in land with many lakes and rivers dotting the world, but no single body of water that could be called an ocean, but many seas. Nidavelir is generally flat, fertile plains. In the Eastern Hemisphere there are some small mountains but nothing like that on Asgard or Vanaheim. There are 6 moons around the planet all of which can support life. One moon is completely covered in water, another is a desert.
Svartalfheim: Around the size of Saturn, Svartalfheim also like Saturn has rings around the planet. It has nine moons, four of which can be inhabited. One of these moons is covered in snow. There are six continents on the planet, and the Yggdrasil trees grow on this planet, these trees are semisentient and grow to be very tall.
*The above planets are all in the same system, Midgard is in a seperate system. The Asgard system (not happy with that name but will due for now) is in a brillant blue nebulae
Midgard: Is twice the size of Earth, and has four moons. One can support life on it's own. The world has 5 large contintents and three very large oceans. Midgard is temperate, with High majestic mountains, lush forests, expansive plains, and many beautiful waterfalls. Lakes, and rivers dot the landscape.

Horse Riding >
Feel like part of the landscape as you ride your horse through the Lake Mburo National Park, without the noise of an engine to spoil the peace you have a chance to get closer to the local wildlife and see the more timid animals often frightened away by noisy 4x4s.
This is an exclusive trip and can therefore be arranged to suit the client. After a night at the base lodge overlooking a game filled valley you will ride out into the park with every opportunity to explore interesting areas and ride at a pace that suits you. Over the course of the day you make your way to your fly camp where a delicious dinner and a comfortable night under canvas will await you. The following days will give you more opportunities to discover what else this area has to offer in the company of extremely knowledgeable guides.
Lake Mburo is home to many different animal species, including zebra, eland, and impala, who are not found in most other National Parks in Uganda. Additionally Lake Mburo has large numbers of waterbuck, topi, buffalo, hippo, duiker, bushbuck, klipspringer and if you are lucky you will see oribi, reedbuck, leopard and crocodiles.
This trip is open to beginners and each ride is catered to the ability of the participants. For those with limited experience this is an excellent trip, however there is also faster riding for those who want a bit more speed. This is a interesting and peaceful way to view game in the Lake Mburo National Park, with its varied mosaic of habitats and corresponding species diversity.

Hemlock Grove is the much-anticipated, Netflix-exclusive
series that focuses on the most painful transformation that a person can go through in their lives.
You guessed it, that would be high school.
You thought I was gonna say changing into a werewolf, didn't ya?
Well, you'd be right in thinking that, since Hemlock Grove– a thirteen-episode bingefest – is based on a gothic horror novel by author Brian McGreevy, which pits good versus evil, joins pseudo-vampires and gypsy werewolves together as a supernatural detective service, and depicts the class struggle of Pennsylvania steel ghost towns.
However, there is just as much of a focus on teenage angst, adolescent love, incessant bullying, and maternal/paternal issues, that (dare I say), it is almost too "Twilight"-y for the hardcore horror fan that they were primarily trying to rope in with this series. But, the monsters and the gore and the overall creepiness more than makes up for the soap opera moments that occur quite a bit more than I would have liked.
I'm not saying that at any given moment I expected Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to grace my screen, but it did cross my mind – during the first few episodes – that I might not be able to finish the eleven-plus hours of story line that the series spewed forth.
Did I mention there was monsters and gore, yet?
As a fan of the genre, there were enough gross-out moments to keep me coming back for more. Some of the early standouts include a cringe-worthy werewolf transformation scene – complete with bloody eyeballs dripping out of eye sockets and a transformed werewolf gobbling up a pile of steaming skin that fell off during the process of changing – as well as the opening creature attack, in which a high school cheerleader gets her "lady parts" eaten while hiding in a playground "mini-house."
Hemlock Grove creates a sense of balance for viewers because it falls somewhere near the center of the tween-romance readers and the blood-and-guts set, without pissing off either opinionated group of fanatical fans. Starting towards the end of Episode Two, the mystery that dwells within the series will wrap around the viewers' psyches and won't let go; like a snake eating its own tail. The Executive Producers – "torture-porn" pioneer Eli Roth (who also directed Episode One), along with author McGreevy himself – have created a well-structured, modern day fairy tale: one with such familiar faces as the valiant knight, the ferocious "dragon," the wicked stepmother, the lowly pauper and his princess, the spoiled heir to the throne, the court magician, and (last, but not least) the misunderstood giant.
These are all represented by the characters that dwell within the
fictional town of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania. However, this is not your average, run-of-the-steel mill neighborhood. The town is shadowed, both literally and figuratively, by the legacy of the Godfrey family. It seems that the Godfrey clan has been running this little town for as long as it was…well…a little town, period. The Godfrey Steel Mill used to be the primary source of income for the bustling industrial center, but that was some time ago. The mill has long been closed and abandoned and now a new Godfrey endeavor hovers over the town like a bad omen.
The townsfolk have nicknamed it "The White Tower," but in actuality it is not a tower at all. It's a giant skyscraper that houses experiments of the biotechnological variety – and anybody who knows the state, knows that every small town in PA has a twenty-story building within it – just like every town conducts biological experiments, duh.
Ridiculousness aside, the Godfreys, pretty much, own the town and that's the way they like it. The family dynamic consists of Olivia Godfrey (played with a "now you see me, now you don't" British accent by Famke Janssen), an overtly horrible human being who gets her kicks from making everybody's day as cloudy as she can damn well make it. This, of course, includes causing as much misery for both of her children as she possibly can. She is pure evil, plain and simple. What kind of evil? Well, that's the million dollar query that drives "Hemlock Grove" to the very last minute of the very last episode.
As far as the children go, first, we have the teenage, silver spoon-
sucking Roman (smugly and slyly played by Bill Skarsgard), who drives around in a red sports car – picking up chicks, smoking more cigarettes than Robert De Niro did in "Casino," and insulting the locals. Did I mention that he pokes at his skin with razors during sex and can make other people do his bidding just by staring into their eyes for a long enough time? No? Well, he can. It's not exactly normal high school behavior, but he's a Godfrey, so no one questions it.
His sister Shelley… ummm… not so normal either. See, Shelley (played by a FX-laden hybrid of young newcomer Nicole Boivin as the "face" of Shelley and the "World's Tallest Model" Amazon Eve as the rest of Shelley – which is pretty cool in my book) is around seven-feet-tall, has broader shoulders than The Rock, and has feet that are bigger than Shaq does – and that's not the weirdest part. She hides half of her face behind her hair (which is a wig, by the way), because half of her face looks like a cross between a lemur and Sloth from "The Goonies." Oh, and her nickname happens to be "Glowworm," for the way her face glows-blue when she blushes.
Where's the father, you ask? Well, you'll just have top watch the show to find out.
On the other side of the creek, literally, we have the Rumancek family – Peter (played by Canadian "eh"-lister – sorry –Landon Liboiron) and Lynda (a criminally misused Lili Taylor – she's in every episode, but is only listed as a "guest star" in each one, for pete's sake!). The writers of the show really want you to never forget that they are gypsies by nature, since the word "gypsy" is used more than any other word except the word "Vargulf" – which I will explain the origin of later. They have moved into a small trailer on the edge of the Godfrey property line and it seems that they have a few secrets that they've brought with them in the process.
Peter is a hairy teenage boy (although, I really didn't see all that much hair on him, I mean he's no Steve Carell, that's for sure) who is mysterious and empathetic. Apparently, the girls are noticing this about him and he attracts the attention of young weirdo Christina Wendall (played by an annoying Freya Tingley) who stares at him while he sleeps in his hammock. This attraction turns out to be detrimental for Peter, as she starts a rumor at school that Gypsy Pete (I made that name up, sorry) is a werewolf – because his index and middle fingers are the same length. Maybe she should be a writer – or at least an investigative journalist – because Peter is a werewolf, after all.
Quick Side Note: Peter is the one that changes to a wolf in Episode 2. So make sure, even if you hate the first episode and don't want to watch another second of the series, that you watch this particular scene. It is gross AND it is awesome!!!
There are so many characters in "Hemlock Grove," I could write Part Two of the book just listing all of them. I'll just speed through a few more of the more pivotal ones. There is Roman and Shelley's uncle, Dr. Norman Godfrey (played with a wide emotional spectrum by Dougray Scott). There's Uncle Norman's daughter – not to mention Roman's uncomfortably-close cousin Letha (confusingly played by Penelope Mitchell) – let's just say it – this character was stunningly underdeveloped. Then, there's the enigmatic Fish and Game Warden, Dr. Clementine Chasseur (played with reckless abandon by "Battlestar Galactica" star Kandyse McClure) – that's all I'm giving up regarding this character. There's the out-of-his-depth Sheriff Sworn (also a "Battlestar" guy, himself, Aaron Douglas). There's also the isolated mad scientist who works in "The White Tower" actually he's got a little bit of Igor in him, as well – Dr. Johann Pryce (yet another M.D. – this one's played by Joel de la Fuente. stop.) And last, but not at all least, my favorite character – the gypsy fortune teller/sex therapist/town hooker/cousin of Peter, Destiny Rumancek (played by Kanietiio Horn). The scene where she eats a nasty-ass worm that had been feeding on a jar of intestines, just to get some "answers" is awesome – awesome and gross.
The plot line, however, can get a little overwhelming at times. Yeah, I know it's a long series and they need intersecting stories and character arcs to take up 50 minutes every week. That being said, there were certain times when I would be watching and a situation or character was mentioned and I literally had to rack my brain to remember who or what it was. The main artery in the main body of Hemlock Grove is Peter and Roman chasing after the Vargulf, though. See, I told you that word would come up again. It is a gypsy word for "rogue werewolf" and the amateur Hardy Boys are convinced that it's doing all of the killing in the town, of which there is quite a bit of – mostly of the female variety. The rest of the storylines are interesting and mysterious, especially the secretive nature of Olivia and her motives, but the Vargulf plot keeps the show going. It just takes a minute or so, at times, to remember that there's a Vargulf running around at all.
The most appealing thing about Hemlock Grove is not the characters, however. It's not the eventually riveting narrative (give it at least until Episode Three, people) or its unique take on a played-out mythology. It's not the "awesome and gross" gore of the transformation scene or the sometimes playful nature of the dialogue.
No, the best thing about Hemlock Grove is the fact that you can watch the whole series, all thirteen episodes of it, in one weekend – or one day – or one sitting, even.
Yes, Hemlock Grove is just what I said it was earlier – a bingefest. Just like "Band of Brothers" (the best bingefest of all-time) before it, I sat and watched this whole saga unfold in the span of a Saturday/Sunday, one-two punch – and it was glorious. The best part about it was that I didn't have to wait a whole, agonizing week between episodes. Nope, I got to watch one-after-another-after-another-after-another.
However, after the final frame of the series was all said and done, even though the last couple of episodes tied most of the plot lines up sufficiently (and in some cases, spectacularly), I was still left wanting more.
Well, maybe that had something to do with the way they chose to conclude it, but if I told you what the ending actually was, it would simply be too much spoiling for one man to partake in.
You'll just have to watch it for yourself. That is, as long as you belong to Netflix. But these days, a household without Netflix is like a town in Pennsylvania without werewolves, gypsies, and biological tampering, right?
