JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md.
-- Members of the Air National Guard celebrated the Air Force's 66th birthday Tuesday at the Air National Guard Readiness Center here.
"We are celebrating 66 years of excellence and outstanding service," said Col. Eric W. Mann, ANGRC vice commander. "For the last 66 years, America has had an able sentry called the U.S. Air Force to be her shield and sword in the air, in space and cyberspace, defending our nation against our enemies and adversaries."
President Harry S. Truman signed into law the National Security Act of 1947 on Sept. 18, 1947, separating the Air Force from the Army. During the course of the last 66 years, the Air Force has achieved an unpatrolled level of technological success in global air and space superiority. The Air Force has become a vital role in providing a strategic, tactical and defensive force for the skies.
"While thinking about today's event, it struck me how fast the Air Force has modernized and evolved into a technological powerhouse," said Chief Master Sgt. Tony L. Whitehead, ANGRC command chief. "The Air National Guard is proud to have played a critical part in the history of our Air Force."
Whitehead went on to discuss the heritage of the ANG and how it has contributed to building the greatest air force in the world. He discussed how the Air Guard has evolved since 1970 changing into a ready, capable, and value-added resource for the Total Force.
Airmen are the most valuable resource leading to the Air Force's 66 years of success. The nation has maintained an asymmetric airpower advantage because Airmen continue to lead the way in integrating military capabilities across air, space, and cyberspace.
"In the face of an unknown and unpredictable future, the American military's ability to conduct successful joint operations is enhanced by the power of Airmen," said Mann. "Our Air Guard Airmen are our most valuable resource."
Mann discussed the contributions Airmen have made to the Air Force from the Berlin Airlift more than 65 years ago to Operation Desert Storm to operations going on today. He highlighted the sacrifices of our Airmen.
"Whether on America's main streets or the mountains of Afghanistan, our ANG Airmen are engaged and effective ... without fail," said Mann. "That is because of the people in this room, no matter what our nation requires, we are there ... I appreciate the opportunity to be here today and to celebrate the Air Force's birthday with the Air Force's most valuable resource."

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is the 1977 animated movie based on the books by A.A. Milne. It is a collection of stories about Pooh and his friends. The first deals with Pooh's attempts to find honey. Even going so far as to look in a bee hive. The second story is about Pooh getting stuck in Rabbit's house, and having to wait until he's thin enough to get out. The third story is about the gang surviving a rain storm. The final two stories deal with Tigger. The first is Rabbit trying to lose Tigger in the woods and failing. The final story is about an obstacle that scares even Tigger.
While it gets a little syrupy at times, it's still a pretty good Anthology. It's also pretty creative in its animation, as the director uses a book as a framing device. The tone is gentle and low-key. The characters never get into any real danger, despite the fact they deal with such events as storms and bees. Disney fans will still get a real kick out of the Heffalumps and Woozles song, as it shows the wacky animation Disney is known for. Rabbit does act pretty mean towards Tigger near the end though. Honolulu Disney fans should buy this movie.

Almas means wild-man in the Mongolian language. The Almas is simply like a yeti, it's a half man, half ape creature. The creatures are said to dwell in the Altai Mountains, which is located in Western Mongolia. They are also said to located in the Tien Shan Mountains.
The earliest known record of the Almas was recorded by a nobleman, Hans Shiltberger. In the 1420s, he recorded of seeing a race that were "covered in hair, except their hands and face were free of hair." In the late 18th century, the Almas were written about in a Mongolian book of Natural History.
In the 1930s, more research and study was conducted to find out more about these ape creatures. There were many Russian and Mongolian scholars that published accounts of the Almas. With what has been written about them, they have been since described as being around five feet tall, prominent eyebrows, and a receding chin. There eating habits have been written about too, they live off of small mammals, and on plants. Some have gone as far as calling them a prehistoric tribe.
Y. Rinchen, Boris Porschev, and Dordji Meiren, are just names of scholars who've written about these ape-like creatures. Merien even have claimed that he saw one!
So the Almas is just another cryptic creature that one either believes its possible or just knows that it's not even possible.

Graduate Programs
International & Intercultural Communication
Now, more than ever, the world needs individuals who recognize the importance of complexities of communication across cultural and geographic borders.
The M.A. in International and Intercultural Communication (IIC) program prepares individuals to understand and facilitate all modes of communication and media in a variety of local and global contexts, bridging the gap between both international and intercultural differences.
The IIC program is offered jointly through an interdisciplinary partnership between two large and active entities, the Department of Media, Film & Journalism Studies and the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. Students are able to choose from the breadth of coursework available in these two schools, while developing their own specific areas of concentration. Additionally, students are able to take advantage of electives and internships to develop expertise in their field of interest.
Graduates of this program are prepared to pursue careers in international and intercultural public relations and marketing, TV, print and online journalism, government diplomacy, cross-cultural and diversity training, higher education and international education, conflict resolution and cross-cultural human resources/organizational communication.
Effective global communication requires that people understand both international and intercultural differences. Success is based on communicating goals and bridging differences. Students pursuing the MA-IIC establish a strong theoretical and applied foundation, while learning the nuances of the global environment. They then have an opportunity to extend this interdisciplinary base through courses in anthropology, foreign languages and literature, business and other areas.

In the realms of world cinema, there are simply some themes and stories that cross all boundaries and can be told from any vantage point. "Flu" is a tightly wound and effective thriller that puts us right on the city streets as we see people do anything and everything to survive as best as they can.
The worst epidemic ever seen is sweeping through Bundang, the suburb of Seoul. After smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, Byung-woo dies from an unknown virus. Soon after that, the same symptoms are plaguing scores of residents in Bundang. People are helpless against the airborne disease and the number of infected increases quickly, spreading chaos. As the worst-case scenario precaution, the city of half a million people, just 19 kilometers from Seoul, is about to be sealed off. The government orders a complete shutdown. Meanwhile, infectious disease specialist In-hye (Su Ae) and rescue worker Ji-goo (Jang Hyuk) go into the closed city to find the blood serum of the index case, a crucial part of developing the vaccine. With medical professionals in an absolute panic over this mystery virus, the government soon orders the military in to quarantine the entire area and desperation and violence soon grip the public as the infected and the non-infected struggle with everything as society in this suburb begins to spiral out of control.
While it does borrow from films that have come before it, "Flu" is a tension filled ride that will shock just about anybody into getting their flu shot, next time the season comes around.
It's a film that keeps the tension levels high throughout and director/co-writer Kim Sung-Soo knows his tension as some crack camera work weaves us in and out of the city streets at a break neck speed as the story is quickly set up and our contagion is on the loose infecting the unsuspecting populace. While the narrative certainly has themes of overwhelming and forever looming governmental control that creating the disturbing aura that the film is going for it doesn't skimp on the gore and ooze of sick person after sick person to the point that you can almost feel the germs coming through the TV screen.
Both stars are relatively new to the Korean film scene and might not be recognized by too many people in North America, but they both handled the rigors of the genre pretty well and had very good chemistry together as we couldn't help but root for them at every turn as they were trying to simply stay alive.
Special features on the DVD include a making of, some concept art and deleted scenes.
"Flu" is yet another example of the high quality of film making that comes out of South Korea and is a solid action thriller that can stand up to any of its Hollywood equivalents.
3 out of 5 stars.
"Flu" is now available for purchase on DVD from retailers like HMV and amazon.ca.

To prove:
"If every continuous function $f$ in $X \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is bounded then $X$ is compact."
My attempt :
In $\mathbb{R}^n$ a set $X$ is compact iff it is closed and bounded. I can show $X$ is bounded, but can not prove $X$ is closed.
The distance function $f : X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x , y) = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ is continuous on $X$. So it is bounded. Thus distance between any two points of $X$ is finite and hence $X$ is bounded.
Let $a \in \mathbb{R}^2$ be a limit point of $X$. Consider a sequence $\{a_n\}$ in $X$ converges to $a$. So for any continuous function $f$, the sequence $\{f(a_n)\}$ converges to $f(a)$ and $f(a)$ is finite. It does not imply $a \in X$.
Thank you for your help.

And finally here it is: the Porsche Macan, the new baby SUV from the German sportscar manufacturer based on the same platform that generated the Audi Q5. Check it out as this is not a regular 'mule': this is it, the real deal, the almost definitive version of the car, spotted in its full body for the first time. They tried to fool our photographers by hiding it with a light camouflage, to make it look loke bigger brother the Cayenne, but they did not succeed.
Although the Macan will share its platform with the Q5, Porsche will fine tune the chassis and also give the Macan better brakes and other wheels. Power will come from petrol and diesel engines supplied by Audi, but Porsche will fine tune them too, so that the Macan will boast higher power figures than the Q5.
An hybrid version of the car will also be made available with a 2.0-litre TFSI unit delivering 210 hp combined with a 44 hp electric motor. That will help Porsche to come closer to the average CO2 goal of 130 g/km that all car manufacturers need to reach by 2015. The Porsche Macan will be launched with four doors initially, but later on there might be a sportier looking two door version as well.

Snow fell and Christmas cheer filled the air Friday as Hinckley Township sculptor Mark Klaus unveiled the grand plan to put America's largest year-round indoor Christmas movie museum inside the vacant Medina Methodist Church.
"'Holly'wood Christmas Movieland will be the most fun Christmas experience you have ever had," Klaus said.
He and his wife, Dana, searched for three years to find a permanent home for their massive collection of Christmas movie memorabilia.
"Medina was always No. 1," he said. "There is just so much here already. We are just plugging into something already amazing."
Klaus credited Main Street Medina and a community where people love to meet and enjoy events on Public Square.
Klaus said there is something magical about driving through downtown Medina during the winter when it is snowing, making the city a quintessential Christmas town and the perfect spot for his museum.
"We are very excited and happy about keeping this building," Mayor Dennis Hanwell said.
The mayor is a member of the Methodist church, whose congregation built a new building in Medina Township.
Klaus had the idea of a permanent home for his massive collection for 25 years. That's when he first displayed his movie memorabilia to the public — inside a barn in Hinckley Township.
In 2008, Klaus opened the doors to a temporary Christmas Movieland in Brecksville and featured the sleigh and reindeer from the opening scene of "Miracle on 34th Street" and the Turbo Man costume from "Jingle All the Way," among other memorabilia.
The 31,000-square-foot former church will house attractions such as a snow vortex, an elf's workshop, a giant toy playroom and more than $2 million worth of animated New York City Christmas department store window decorations.
A preview will be Aug. 24 during the city's International Festival. The grand opening will be the weekend of Nov. 22, when the city hosts the annual Candlelight Walk on Public Square.
Klaus is best known for the handcrafted miniature sculptures he sells on HSN, and he has been featured on the magazine covers of Collectors Edition and Collectors Mart.
In the future, Klaus plans to put an Alien-themed, 3-D indoor miniature golf course alongside Christmas Movieland.
For more information, visit Klaus' website, www.christmasmovieland.com.

These sunglasses are really great - comfortable and just the right amount of tinting for driving. The bifocal makes it easy to read the instrument panel without having to change glasses.
I like these a lot -- although the size of the lens is a little smaller than I expected. They are very comfortable; they don't squeeze my temples like some others have.
I am very pleased with the quality of these sunglasses. This has been the first time in a couple of years I have been able to actually read by the pool or at the beach.
Work great, look great!
These glasses are great for driving, especially for seeing the speedometer, when you normally wear trifocals in your regular glasses. And I know they are going to be great for reading in sunlight or on the deck of a cruise ship. Thanks again!!!!

Commitment....the act of committing, pledging, or engaging oneself.
Sunday, January 02, 2011
OK so I don't normally blog much! I used to but I didn't really get much feedback and I think that was what I was looking for. Today I am blogging for myself. I've been here on SP for almost 3 years. Initially I wanted to lose the weight for my wedding and to quit smoking.
Well..... I lost 50 pounds and I quit smoking. I have been quit for over 2 yrs. now but the weight, what can I say? I have gained it all back plus some! I know all the reasons, I eat too much, I eat the wrong foods and I lack the exercise I need daily! I have all the tools to lose weight. They are at my fingertips and I know what to do to lose the weight. So today I am COMMITING to :
1.) Using my WW knowledge to eat, consume the proper amount of food daily
2.) Making healthy decisions on what to actually put into my mouth
3.) Having healthy snacks around at all times
4.) Drinking water EVERY day
5.) Walking 3 X's a week
6.) Using the stationary bike for riding instead of as a LR decoration, 3 X's a week
7.) Trying new, healthy recipes
8.) Being positive and excited about my choice to get healthy
9.) Staying focused on me and not everyone else
10.) Limiting my time on the computer
11.) Joining a new team that will motivate & encourage me to do this
12.) Asking for help when I need it
There, I guess this could be my own 12 step program!
On a funny note........"The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends." Not too far from the truth, I find it so much harder to lose the weight now that I am in the over 50 club, but it is doable. So my friends, please wish me luck as I try again to make this happen..........I KNOW I can!
cheers to 2011

I am glad for an update Sandi. Blogging, I believe should be a dialogue. However, I understand your frustration. I do it as a means of working things through as writing has always been an outlet for me.
I am truly sorry you didn't get the feedback you were looking for. No excuses, but by about the time you left, I was a newbie who took attempted to help as the leadership had issues which made it difficult to be "present". Suddenly, it was just me, and an extremely busy Nancy keeping things going. The members were expanding to other areas and a sudden influx of newcomers arrived. I was left for six months, and not well myself, but these are a wonderful group of individuals, and I couldn't simply leave nothing. So much for that...The leader is back, and now that the challenge I created is over, I will be on my own taking the time to catch up with my wonderful Spark friends.
You have been on my mind a great deal. I want you to know how much I appreciate your support and the goodies. I have truly missed you.
Back to the most important issue. You have made a great deal of progress. Those steps should never be discounted. The insight you have gained, and the lessons you have learned will serve you well in many aspects of your life.
You have selected some great goals for yourself.
Keep following the path which feels right for you, and you will be successful in more ways than you realize.
I hope you enjoyed your cruise. As you know I have allowed myself to get behind, but in order to remain healthy I, too must work on some difficult goals. I am always glad to hear from friends, and be assured you are not alone. If you ever need to vent, a sounding board, whatever, I have open ears.
Take care. I wish you the very best as you pursue your goals.

Sending GOOD VIBES your way! Of course you can do this! No luck involved. This from the woman who quit smoking 2 years ago! And you know they say that Quitting smoking is the HARDEST thing you will ever do, so losing a little weight should be a walk in the park! In fact, thats all it really takes is several walks in the park! (Haha, sometimes I am so witty!)

Trapped in small-town California USA, Ethan Inglebrink is searching for the perfect moment in a life that is running out of time. And the odds are against him. Ethan is an agoraphobic, drug addict obsessed with his garden. Ethan's neighbor, landlord and maniacal high school football coach Trevor O'Hart has big plans for Ethan: eviction. Ethan's older brother Todd, also the local sheriff, is convinced that Ethan's salvation must be orchestrated by an act of God and calls in the family priest to lead the crusade. As the countdown begins, Ethan is convinced that his search will end once he grows the perfect American Cowslip, a beautiful, rare flower that will be the centerpiece of his garden and a floral representation of his life -- and maybe even win him the town's Garden of the Year contest, with its $10,000.00 first prize, enough to cover Ethan's very delinquent rent and stop the coach from kicking him out of his life. Dueling gardens ensue as Ethan still manages at to convince his poker buddies and surrogate moms, Roe, Sandy and Lou Anne, that he shoots up insulin for his diabetic condition. Ethan's cover up pushes Roe to dig deeper -- only to find herself confronted by her own secret.

BACKGROUND: Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) virus (ISAV) is a pathogen of marine-farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar); a disease first diagnosed in Norway in 1984. For over 25 years ISAV has caused major disease outbreaks in the Northern hemisphere, and remains an emerging fish pathogen because of t...
Infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) is classified in the genus Isavirus of the family Orthomyxoviridae. Although virulence variation of ISAV can be demonstrated experimentally in fish, virus strain identification is ambiguous because the correlates of pathogenicity and/or antigenicity of ISAV are ...
Whole-genome analysis of piscine reovirus (PRV) shows PRV represents a new genus in family Reoviridae and its genome segment S1 sequences group it into two separate sub-genotypes

Portugal!!Salamanca, Spring 2011
This past weekend, IES took us on our big trip to PORTUGAL! Salamanca is so so close to Portugal (we´re neighbors!), but it was my first time there. It was a marathon of a trip; we hit up six different cities in one weekend: Coimbra, Batalha, Lisboa, Sintra, Cascais, and Fátima. I´m terrible...all I ever remember are bits and pieces of the places and buildings we visit, but I could not tell you which city they were in. Sorry... But that´s why I need to take a lot of pictures. For the purpose of writing this post, I´m going to cheat and look at the itinerary that IES gave us. Day 1 (Friday): Absolutely stunning day (trust me to remember the weather and not the geography). Left at 8am (yuck) from Salamanca and made it to Coimbra by about 11. We had a nice little bus tour of the city, during which we hopped off to see a convent, an old university library (there were bats in it!! Sleeping though, don´t worry), and a cathedral. It´s funny that I can say all of this completely nonchalantly, as if such pretty sights are everyday occurrences. But they are!! By now, we´re just like oooh ok here´s another stunning piece of architecture. Same old same old. Possibly my favorite part of the day was free time, during which we ate the lunches prepared by our señoras (mine gave me a bocadillo roughly the size of my abdomen, not to mention the fruit and whole, big bag of chips), and sat outside in the super hot weather in a gorgeous park. Could not have gotten any better. After lunch we stopped in Batalha to see a monastery quickly (once again, please note how casually I mention this), then continued on our way to Lisboa. In Lisboa, we had quite possibly the meatiest dinner ever, during which the waiters brought over big spears of meat and sliced them directly onto our plates. Yum. Day 2 (Saturday): Breakfast in the hotel - bright and early. But delicious. The day was a little overcast but, thankfully, didn´t rain while we were outside. First stop: Sintra. This city was, generally, a favorite of the group. We went on a quick tour of a Palace (just a summer home, no big deal), which was gorgeous with it´s tiling. After that, I think that this was the point where I went with a friend and had ice cream in a garden that we discovered. I´m pretty sure it was Eden. Next up was my favorite part of the day: Boca do Inferno. Which, more or less, means the ¨Hell's Mouth¨. Well, now it just sounds strange that I liked it so much. But it was gorgeous. It´s the westernmost point, which means the Atlantic!!! I had never seen the Atlantic from this side, before! It was dreamy. The water is so fierce there, crashing onto the rocks and creating the imagery where the name comes from. I felt like I was in a movie where a man with a kind face and a top-hat was going to sweep down from the cliffs and speak with a British accent to me. Not the usual, sadly. After some photo shoots in front of the raging water aka beautiful, romantic background, we jumped back on the bus and zooom off to Lisboa. In Lisboa, we saw yet another monastery and tower on the water before heading back to the hotel. Quick nap in hotel. Dinner out with some friends in a convent-turned-oldest-brewery-in-Portugal. Delicious! Loved the nightlife in Lisbon. Day 3 (Sunday): Departure time: 10:30. Not bad at all. Last stop of the day / trip: Fátima. Where the Virgin appeared to three children multiple times. It was incredible for me to see a place that I've heard about, and to see the pious peoples praying. Definitely stood out in my mind. Sunday night, after sleeping in the bus nonstop, we made it back to Salamanca. It was a magical, super busy weekend. Now you'll have to excuse me...I'm heading outside to sunbathe a bit before class :)

Lawmakers Wednesday retreated at a local hotel in Kololi ahead of the commencement of the next sessions of the Public Accounts and Enterprises Committees (PAC/PEC) of the National Assembly; a legislative exercise that scrutinises public finance management and activities of the various public institutions and agencies.
The PAC/PEC members and other stakeholders met under the theme "Enhancing public financial management through effective parliamentary oversight".
The PAC/PEC of the National Assembly has over the years successively conducted and performed lawful oversight over all public services, interests, institutions, agencies and policy programmes of the executive. The statutory function continues to shape, regulate and strengthen the nation's resolve to overcome the ever growing challenges in deepening the strategies employed to strengthen public financial management (PFM).
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the three-day retreat of the Public Accounts and Public Enterprises Committees (PAC/PEC) of the National Assembly the speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Abdoulie Bojang said this year's retreat like the previous ones is in preparation for the forthcoming PAC/PEC session which is scheduled for the month of September.
He stated that the government of The Gambia continues to licence, sanction and provide much needed resources for them to convene and deliberate with political goodwill without executive interference. He noted that it is therefore no accident that Gambian peoples' high expectations from them are well founded and not misplaced.
Honourable Abdoulie Bojang registered their appreciation to the government and its development partners for their support to the legislature. He further acknowledged that the government has created the enabling legal environment with a clearly defined mandate for them as elective representatives of the people to perform lawful and routine oversight over the executive, public enterprises/agencies, public services and anything of public interest.
"It is only prudent that as a responsible and responsive parliament and by extension having a responsible and responsive government under the able leadership of His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya AJJ Jammeh Nasirul Deen Babili Mansa not to be complacent with our achievements so far but to strive and resolve to do even better," he stressed.
"It is against this backdrop that we are now subjecting ourselves to behind closed-door internal scrutiny of our collective conduct and attitude, actions, omissions, challenges and constraints of the very members of PAC/PEC".
The clerk of the Assembly, Dodou C.M. Kebbeh, commented on the strength and potentials of the scrutiny committees, informing that PAC/PEC reports are impacting positively on public policy. He observed that public morale and confidence in governance is on the increase.
"Public interest on PAC/PEC deliberation is ever increasing. There is always a wide media coverage and interest in PAC/PEC Sessions. There is great potential for PAC/PEC in The Gambia. Our scope and mandate covers everything of public interest, or anything funded wholly or partly from public funds," he asserted.
The deputy clerk, Legislative Business, Projects & Programmes, Daniel Cardos, said the objective of the PAC/PEC retreat was to provide a platform that ensures a holistic review of PAC/PEC policies, systems and processes that enhance public finance manangement and effective parliamentary oversight; as well as provide hands-on analytical management skills and tools for resource control.
He noted that the outcome of the PAC/PEC ensures a comprehensive platform that resolves PAC/PEC's desire to design effective monitoring and evaluation dynamics for improved performances of public enterprises in public service.
"PAC/PEC exhibits a credible balance in reviewing the mandate and governance structure of PEs relevant to parliamentary oversight," he concluded.

The tour of La Casa del Azúcar continues with the front room--or in our home, the other side of the kitchen. We didn't do a ton to this space... well, other than new flooring, taking out the walls between the kitchen and the hall, opening it up, painting the fireplace and adding a new granite hearth, adding a new ceiling, can lighting, as well as painting and adding trim.
|before with popcorn ceiling, old window coverings, and a too-thin floor
|view from inside dining room
|middle of the night work. At this point, I never thought I'd be living in this space.
|right after we got the granite hearth in--I can't remember for sure, but I think this was at Christmastime.
The granite slab on the fireplace was one of the last things that was done in our home, right before Christmas. It was like enjoying pad thai noodles and then finally squeezing that lime wedge they give you: it is 10x more delicious than before. Again, if you are in Utah, give Rod Budge a call with European Marble and Granite.
|we desperately need a new family picture.
|I'm sure morning sun wasn't the most ideal addition to these photos. But, I LOVE the light that streams through these windows from the kitchen and front room. Vitamin D any way I can.
Next week: bathroom or downstairs family room? What say you?

Parents, listen up: There are many good reasons to convince your children to pursue higher education and an article published on Aug. 4, 2104 by Morningside illustrates one undeniable reason why education is so valuable.
Morningside compiled unemployment figures for the 2000 to 2014 period and then charted the rates on a graph, with separate lines based on educational attainment. The results show that the likelihood of unemployment changes drastically based on education and it offers positive proof of the value of an education.
The differences in unemployment among those with a college education and those without were greatest during the peak of the Great Recession. Back in 2010, the unemployment rate for those without a high school diploma was around 16 percent. In contrast, the unemployment rate among those with a bachelor's degree or better was approximately 5 percent. That means the chances of being jobless was more than three times greater for those without a high school diploma compared to those with a four- year college degree.
Even today, with unemployment rates falling, the difference between the two extremes is still significant. Those without a high school diploma are still facing unemployment around 9 percent. Add a bachelor's degree or more to the resume and the unemployment rate falls to just 3.5 percent. The differences are a little less drastic than those of a few years ago, but still great enough that every parent and child should take notice.
Unemployment avoidance is just one reason to pursue a college education. There are many others, among them better pay, greater job satisfaction, and more rounded knowledge and life skills. Even if you ignore the satisfaction, life skills, etc., and only look at the items that are quantifiable- the unemployment rate as shown on the graph and the rate of pay based on educational attainment- the value of a college degree becomes glaringly obvious.
What this Morningside article shows isn't too surprising. I think most people already knew that unemployment is lower among those with a bachelor's degree or higher. But many may not realize just how large the gap is between those with a degree and those without a high school diploma. This study illustrates the difference well and it provides inarguable proof that an education is extremely valuable in today's society.

Vinashin Concerns Loom in Vietnam
Shares on the Vietnam stock market end down 1.3% at 475.41 Thursday on concerns state-run Vinashin's potential debt default will hurt local companies' credit worthiness.
"Vinashin's $60 million debt was overdue earlier this week, but so far the government has failed to announce how they would deal with the debt problem," says a brokearge trader. He adds that foreign investors won't look at it favorably, and it's going to be very difficult for local companies to borrow from foreign funds.
Volume in the market is moderate with 57.2 million shares valued at 1.42 trillion dong exchanging hands. Among most actively traded shares, Saigon Securities fell 1.3% at 30,700 dong, Itaco ends down 1.2% to 16,100 dong and Sacombank ends down 2.5% at 15,600 dong.
Elsewhere in Asia, traders were in agreement that the holidays are upon us:
Hong Kong: Market volume shrinks to HK$23.02 billion; the full-day's volume may not surpass the HK$50 billion mark, which would be the lowest in about 4 months, "reflecting the growing holiday mood," says Haitong Securities.
India: "Most plant maintenance shutdowns are in December and hence volumes are low, also because buyers tend to postpone purchases until the next year," says Vaishali Jajoo, analyst at Angel Broking.
Singapore: "We expect the STI to trade within a narrow band of between 3120 and 3200 leading up to the year-end holiday season, when volume is seasonally lower.

Google Glass With Prescription Lenses Now Available!
We reported a few months back about Google Glass getting prescription lenses to enable mass adaptation of the product.
Google has partnered with various lens companies to bring these which are divided into the following categories : Curve, Thin, Split, Bold . One can choose your favorite by a $225 upgrade, after which it can be applied to the Glass by fitting with some screws.
Google Glass with Prescription Lenses : The Glass you were waiting for?
Google Glass had already got the media abuzz with it's release but even then it was still a device that we expected to receive multiple iterations to be a real consumer product. With Rochester Optical – a New York based company announced that it would be developing prescription lense attachments for Google Glass . This announcement is a big level for Glass to be even close to real world use.
The arm mount would fit Glass perfectly and would be available in a number of colors. Tim Moore, one of the early Glass Explorers, will join its prescription-lens project.
These lenses are expected to be available by early 2014.
Researcher believes that Google Glass could go on sale for $300
By now, everyone is just about fed up with Google Glass. The wearable has been all over the web and news for ages, but since it is yet to be officially announced, no one can get their hands on it.
The wearable industry is set to boom within the next few years and with it, fancy eye wear such as Google Glass will be a hot selling gadget, but what will it cost you? Topology Research Institute's Jason Tsai believes that despite current owners of the device having forked out $1,500 to get their hands on pre-release hardware, final versions that will hit the market later this year, or early next year, are likely to go on sale for just $300. Tsai gets this price by adding the sum of the cost of all of the components and likely adding some profits and other related expenses to it.
The Institute claims that the wearable tech industry is set to be worth over $18 billion by 2018, a significant increase from 2011's $1.2 billion.
UK drivers to face serious fines, possible jail time, if caught with Google Glass
It doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to figure out that the impending arrival of Google Glass to the mass market holds in a lot of safety concerns for drivers, that is until Google unleases their driverless cars unto the world. The UK government, yes the weird bunch that blocked porn for all Brits, are working on a new law that will ban wearing Google Glass whilst driving.
For obvious safety reasons, the UK government has decided to add Google Glass while driving in the same category as the use of mobile phones; "careless driving." The government regulators fear that too many drivers will be distracted by the wearable and the content it displays, which may lead to disasterous consequences, ie. accidents which likely involves death. Google Glass has faced a lot of scrutiny over the past year including concerns over privacy which has lead to Glass being banned in a lot of establishments. The company has also allowed current explorers of the Glass accessory to invite some friends to join the program, but it remains to be seen when exactly the device will hit the mass market.
Google Glass is likely to face some stiff competition from the likes of smartwatches which seems to be the next big thing in the consumer electronics industry, especially with its current enormous price of $1,500 which seems high even for the rich and famous. Will you get Glass? Tell us below!
Google Glass teardown reveals tiny inyards, even smaller battery

Have no idea what a 'Glasshole' is? Here's a video demonstration that may save your ego
As it currently stands, wearables may just prove to be the next best thing in the consumer electronics world, but with great power, comes great responsibility and there will always be those that abuse certain technologies. Although it is far from being on the market, Google Glass has already gained a lot of critics, here's a video showing detailing what a 'Glasshole' is, so you can avoid getting those nasty stares.
Google Glass and iPhone not completely compatible
Google Glass has already started rolling out to developers and certain important users and thus some could give some feedback on the wearable that is set to take the world by storm.

Late last night, Adrian Wyllie's gubernatorial opponent, Charlie Crist, appeared on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert. Crist received the "Colbert Bump" and Wyllie will be anxious when he gets his turn later in the election season to cancel Crist's 'bump' by appearing on the show. Wyllie expects to forgive Colbert for the slight of not mentioning it is a three way race between himself, Crist and Scott when he appears on the show.
Colbert came strong out of the gate calling Crist's political career "checkered" during the promotion of Crist's new book. Crist handled himself well, as he usually does in public, however could not quell fears of his notable flip-flop stances whereas the Florida voter is not able to discern what he truly believes. Crist also decided to continue the myth Republicans are racists and the main reason they are against Barack Obama is due to his skin color. Crist failed to acknowledge Republicans, Libertarians, Independents and a growing list of Democrats are against Obama due to his policies. Obama has continued many of Bush's policies and amplifying many of them to the point many feel we are living in a 'police state.'
Colbert said to Crist during the interview, "Do you even have to campaign? Can't you just say, 'I'm Charlie Crist, I used to be governor, how about more of that?'" The issue for Florida voters is trying to figure out what is more of that. Is that the pro-gun rights, anti-medical marijuana, pro-Cuban embargo, anti-marriage equality, anti-abortion, anti-Obamacare Charlie Crist? Or is it the anti-gun rights, pro-weed, anti-Cuban embargo, pro-marriage equality, pro abortion, pro Obamacare Charlie Crist?
And those are just a small number of issues Crist faces this election season against his opponents Adrian Wyllie and Rick Scott. Wyllie's views seem to match those of the Florida voters and it could be the independent voters who decide the race. Wyllie is expected to perform better as he gains name recognition and is included in more polling. Unfortunately for him, most polling agencies have not included his name, however when simple issues are talked about, Wyllie's platform could carry the day for his campaign.

Drawing on the integration of technology and management, St. Bonaventure University will offer a new major in industrial management beginning fall 2015.
The B.S. in industrial management program is designed to give students a solid science and engineering base coupled with a business preparation that will enable graduates to fill dynamic managerial roles in today's technical industries. With courses from the university's School of Business and the engineering physics offerings from the School of Arts and Sciences, the program draws on a broad range of faculty expertise and internship opportunities.
"The ability to design, produce, sell and service quality products in today's complex and competitive marketplace requires managers who understand engineering principles as well as possess the skills to manage technical projects and professionals," said Dr. Pierre Balthazard, dean of the School of Business.
Industrial management, he explained, is a specialized form of management that is really concerned with applying engineering principles to business practice.
"The practice of industrial management is represented by a set of emerging careers that bring together the technological problem-solving savvy of engineering and the organizational, administrative and planning abilities of management in order to oversee complex enterprises from conception to completion," Balthazard said.
Examples of industrial management fields are product development, manufacturing, econometrics, design engineering, industrial engineering, business intelligence, analytics, technology, production, or any other field that employs personnel who perform an applied engineering function within a business context.
The industrial management major will be available to all undergraduate students beginning fall 2015.
Graduates of the program will be prepared for a wide variety of career paths, including plant supervision, project management, process engineering, quality assurance, econometrics, production planning and control, business analytics, inventory management, technical sales, research and development management, or even technology entrepreneurship in a start-up company.
With the challenges faced on a global level — sustainability, health care, and environmental protection, for instance — there is a new need for companies and organizations to integrate technical and business skills to solve these difficult problems.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests double-digit job growth for individuals with these skills, totaling a job base of more than 1.7 million positions nationally and a growth of 335,000 positions within the next 10 years, Balthazard said.
For more information about the industrial management degree, contact the university's Office of Admissions at 1-800-462-5050 or visit www.sbu.edu/IndustrialManagement.

Sophomore Milena Dragovic (pictured) teamed with senior Nikki Osuna to post a three-set win in No. 2 play on Friday against Florida Gulf Coast.
April 13, 2012
SIESTA KEY, Fla. - The Green Wave tandems of Milena Dragovic and Nikki Osuna along with the team of Azarri Badawi and Olivia Utt posted wins on Courts 2 and 5, resepectively, but it was not enough as the Tulane University sand volleyball team dropped a 3-2 road decision to Florida Gulf Coast on Friday afternoon.
The win by Badawi and Utt was the second in as many outings for the Green Wave pair while the duo of Dragovic and Osuna earned their first victory of the 2012 season. In defeat, Tulane fell to 1-9 on the year. Florida Gulf Coast, meanwhile, won its fourth straight contest to improve to 4-3 overall.
"Florida Gulf Coast was a good match-up for us, and the overall decision came down to just one point here and there," Tulane acting head coach Jaye Loyd said. "We had chances and showed great improvement from the beginning of the year and even last week's matches.
"We've got to learn how to push through when the other team has momentum. Like most teams, this is our first year playing sand volleyball at this level and there is still a lot of learning going on. We'll learn from this and try and continue to improve over the next two days."
The Eagles drew first blood as Jill Hopper and Whitney Masters posted a 21-18, 21-11 decision over Tulane's Shefali Arora and Amber Bennett on Court 4, but the Green Wave answered in the form of Azarri and Utt as the pair rebounded from a 21-15 opening set defeat to win the next two frames 21-17 and 15-8 to knot the match at 1-1.
The Wave took a 2-1 advantage as Dragovic and Osuna sandwiched 21-18 and 15-11 victories around a 21-15 loss against the Eagles' No. 2 tandem of Karina Mambuca and Olivia Mesner. That, however, would be the final point of the day for Tulane as Florida Gulf Coast re-tied the match when Brooke Kohler and Brittany Muse downed Lilly Wolfe and Anna Wruck on Court 3 21-14, 20-22, 15-8 before the No. 1 team of Holly Youngquist and Kaitlin Holm swept past Tulane's Cori Martone and Grace Weaver 21-13, 21-17.
The Green Wave return to action on Saturday, April 14, when the participate in the Fiesta At Siesta Key. Tulane is one of two teams from Louisiana to take part in the tournament, joining UL-Monroe. In addition, Division I Florida schools Florida, Florida Atlantic, Florida Christian, Florida International, Florida State, Jacksonville, Miami, Stetson, South Florida, UCF and host Florida Gulf Coast will be on hand, along with Ave Maria, College of Charleston, Pasco-Hernando Community College, South Florida Community College, St. Catherine, St. Leo, St. Petersburg, State College of Florida, Union College and Webber International.
From there, Tulane will take on Webber International in a head-to-head matchup on Sunday in Tampa, Fla. Sunday's match against the Warriors is the Green Wave's final regular-season. The AVCA Sand Volleyball Championship is slated for April 27 in Gulf Shores, Ala.

right now my family is gluten and dairy free for various reasons. we also have a peanut allergic child. we have been focusing on eating more whole foods, limiting processed foods. we never have pop or juice in the house. the kids are really starting to get used to eating better- and willingly eat salads, drink water, etc.
a family of four (relatives) just came for the weekend. although i had many more "treats" on hand than usual- (gluten/dairy free pancakes, homeade g/d free apple cinnamon muffins, eggs, homeade quacamole, corn chips, bacon/eggs, lemonade, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, turkey, bread, beer, chicken to grill, gluten free chicken nuggets, rice) there was a "concern" about them getting grumpy because they weren't going to have enough to choose from and maybe they could just go get fast food for a meal instead of eating with us.
i think i probably took it a bit personal and shouldn't have, but buying organic and more wholesome foods costs a lot of money- and i kind of feel like, unless you are allergic or really hate what they are serving, you just kind of eat what you are given when you are bunking in someone else's home and be grateful. but i think people who aren't focused on healthy eating, see these things as not filling or satisfying. but i thought i had an array of lots of things that were not necessarily health foods. anyway, i stayed up til 3 am and went to get more food that was more "them".
i am just wondering how to handle this in the future. when you have people over and are entertaining, do you go with the whole pop/chips/hotdogs/ type common foods that most people don't think twice about, or do you stick to what you and your family do? is it rude not to accomodate their tastes and preferences?

I think this is a big difference to whats on offer by other players...
All in all I agree with you.
Nokia today unveiled its Booklet 3G "mini-laptop", or what most of the world would call a netbook (see above and video below).
As previously flagged, there was no killer point of differentiation.
Sure, as its name suggests, the Booklet 3G has a built-in cellular broadband radio (and wi-fi and GPS).
But so does the Dell netbook currently being sold by Vodafone, and the Toshiba netbook about to be announced for XT by Telecom.
Other specs, such as an Intel Atom processor, 10.1-inch screen and Windows 7 are standard fare for a netbook (see the full specs here).
While the bundled Ovi software holds a lot of meaning for Nokia, it's little known to the world outside. And the new Ovi Lifecast feature - which lets you update your Facebook status from a cellphone screen - looks slick, and is a good move. But again, it's barely original - although the addition of GPS will help sat-nav technology jump into the mainstream portable market.
It would have been good to see Nokia pull a stunt on the level of Sony, which recently announced it would put Google's Chrome browser on its laptops (read: Sony adds a little Chrome).
A commercial advantage?
The Wall Street Journal is touting Nokia's close links with phone companies, and the potential for steeply discounted netbooks as a lure to hook people onto multi-year contracts. Hello - that's what Vodafone is already doing in New Zealand, and elsewhere, with the Dell Inspiron (sold for zero dollars up front on a two-year, $75/month 1GB plan). Expect Telecom to run similar deals on netbooks from Toshiba (and soon HP and Lenovo).
Certainly, the Nokia Booklet 3G will need some bundling deals.
Its price $US644 ($NZ902) is right at the upper-end of the netbook range. Local pricing and release details are not yet to hand.
Ovi vs the web
Nokia is going to push tie-ins to its Ovi online store - today it announced the Booklet 3G would come bundled with Ovi Suite 2 and an Ovi maps gadget - but I'm not sure that's a killer app. Ovi - and the general philosophy of Nokia moving to generate 50% of its revenue from software and services is a good one for the AppStore age. But when using a Windows netbook, people are attuned to accessing the internet at large, and its entire universe of software and services.
Nokia is right to diversify its hardware beyond cellphones, and to look to transition toward making half its revenue from software and services.
But while a smart piece of kit, the Booklet 3G isn't about to ignite any revolution.

CONCERN about the rate of mangrove forest conversion in Bali, Rama Tours in collaboration with the Central Management of Mangrove Forest for Region I planted mangrove seedlings in the empty areas of the mangrove forest at Suwung Kangin. With such an activity, the government and society were expected to manage and develop the mangrove forests because they had a very important ecological function and economic potential.
The reforestation activity against the bare areas of the mangrove forests was carried out as charity program of Rama Tours in commemorating its 35th anniversary falling on June 17, 2013, with the theme 'Through Compassion, Devotion and Creativity, We Journey to a Brighter Future.'
Aside from planting mangroves, Rama Tours also conducted regular blood donation, mutual assistance of cleaning up litter, especially plastic waste in the area of Uluwatu Temple, donation of dust bin and fund directly to temple priests. In appropriate with the theme of the anniversary, no matter how small the contribution was Rama Tours constantly hoped that Bali tourism resources could be best utilized for the common welfare and it lasted sustainably in the future.

Q&A: What Does Obama's Move Mean?
Here are some quick questions and answers on President Obama's support of gay marriage, and what it means.
Does Obama's stance have any effect on policy?
Barack Obama's coming out for marriage rights won't have any direct impact on policy or on whether gays and lesbians can marry. Marriage laws are written by the states, most of which have banned same-sex unions. (In fact, 30 states have passed constitutional amendments that ban gay marriage, according to the Human Rights Campaign.) The federal Defense of Marriage Act bans federal recognition of gay and lesbian unions, and says that states shall not be forced to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. But Mr. Obama was already on record in opposition to DOMA, saying it is unconstitutional, and has directed his Justice Department to stop defending it in court.
As Obama's view has evolved, how have Americans' views evolved?
Forty-nine percent of Americans now say they approve of gay marriage, according to a March WSJ/NBC News poll, up from 40% shortly after Mr. Obama took office in 2009. Mr. Obama's previous stated stance made him part of the 8% of respondents who are unsure how they feel about gay marriage, according to the poll. The poll showed the biggest jump among blue-collar voters and African Americans, two key Democratic constituencies. Support among blue-collar voters jumped 20 percentage points to 49%. African-American support for gay marriage rose from 32% to 50%. More than half of Hispanics and voters aged 18 to 34 also voiced support. Mr. Obama's advisers have closely watched the changing views among African-Americans and Hispanics.
Has Obama changed his stance on gay marriage before?
In 1996, Obama said he supported gay marriage in responding to a questionnaire from a local Chicago newspaper. But he later said that an aide filled out the questionnaire and that it didn't accurately reflect his position. Mr. Obama ran for president in 2008 personally opposed to gay marriage, but has said in fall 2010 that his views are "evolving." Asked about the matter since then, he's repeatedly refused to answer the question, saying he would not "make news" on the matter. That's prompted people on both sides of the issue to speculate that he supported gay marriage but didn't want to say so.

A Lindenhurst man has been arrested for allegedly trying to use a forged Oxycodone prescription at a Hempstead pharmacy to procure pain pills, Nassau County police said April 9.
Jose Jovanne Delacruz, 21, was charged with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. He was arraigned Wednesday at Nassau First District Court in Hempstead.
Police say Delacruz was arrested Tuesday after investigators learned he tried to use a forged prescription for Oxycodone at Hempstead Drugs at 397 Fulton Ave. in Hempstead on Dec. 26, 2013. The pharmacist allegedly "identified the prescription to be a fake and notified police," a news release said.
Detectives said it was Delacruz's second time trying to pull off the same scheme at the same pharmacy. On Nov. 15, 2013, he passed a forged prescription for Oxycodone at the store, cops said. It was unclear if he was given any pills during that incident.
Online records show Delacruz was released from the Nassau County Jail on Wednesday after posting a $2,500 bond. He will be back in court on Friday.

Florida A&M University maintains its law school accreditation
ORLANDO, Fla. - (AP) -- The law school at Florida A&M University is meeting national standards and will maintain its accreditation.
Last year the American Bar Association raised questions about the school based in Orlando. An accreditation committee questioned whether FAMU was doing enough to prepare students for the exam needed to get a law license.
But this week the ABA sent a letter to FAMU officials saying that they had proven that the school is complying with standards and remains on the list of approved law schools.
The school, which was reopened after it had been shuttered during the `60s, first gained its accreditation in 2009.
The school this past year had about 520 students, but the dean says applications for this fall have jumped up at least 20 percent.

As internet technology penetrates more deeply into the Borderlands, people need to increase their level of critical thinking in regard to what's in their inboxes. The silliness of the emails – promises of richness and princely involvement – that makes savvy people delete them before reading is what attracts those most likely to respond positively.
Behind the seemingly idiotic presentation is a highly sophisticated method to maximize return in a market of great uncertainty. The process begins with a low-cost emailing but will require more labor-intensive activities, either email or phone, once the target responds. To make a profit, that is, to have the target send the requested funds, the scammer must allocate his or her time effectively. That requires concentrating on what are called "true positives," people who will follow through to the end of the transaction. "False positives" are people who respond initially but then back out before sending money.
Given the number of individuals who receive the initial emails – very large – it is important to the sender to weed out those who are not true positives as quickly and effectively as possible. Hence the wild stories and promises, flamboyant names, and quirky misspellings. Although to the more sensible this may seem like a ridiculous way to garner responses, nearly a century of practical experience has shown that this is a highly effective approach for reducing the number of potential false positives.
Once the scammer receives a response – a potential positive – he or she engages in communication with the respondent. At this point, the choice of responders makes the difference between a successful outlay of time and effort and a unsuccessful one. Thus the higher the probability of true positives in the group of selection choices, the better the scammers chances of receiving the payoff.
Although the science behind the approach is strongly mathematical, the surface is stamped with what people believe about those who send these emails. Are they lying? Is the potential for gain real? What would be the cost of taking a chance on a windfall? These people have to be nice because they aren't slick and sophisticated (aren't they)?
What it comes down to is what the scam email recipients believe about human nature. Those who have lead more sheltered but pleasant lives will tend to believe in the inherent honesty and truthfulness of others and so become marks themselves.

How to add a video clip in an eBay item auction description:
1. Find a location free of clutter in a well-lit area. A clean wall free of frames or a cabinet door works well. If all else fails, use a piece of posterboard (white or black) to prop the item up against. I sometimes use a piece of posterboard folded on the kitchen countertop for smaller items such as shoes, jewelry and small toys.
2. Shoot a video of the item using any video camera. I have an iPhone 4S and while other smartphones shoot better quality video, this will suffice for now. You may describe the item as you show it to the camera, giving multiple views. Be sure to speak calmly and clearly.
3. You can upload your video to any video host site (Google, AOL, Vzaar, DailyMotion). For my example, I will use YouTube. From a smartphone, you can upload the video directly to YouTube by using the free app, Capture. If you do not already have a YouTube account, create one. It is free and easy to do!
4. Once the video is uploaded, click "Share Link" to access the embed code
5. Click Embed. The link available at that page starts with "iframe". You DO NOT want this code. Click on SHOW MORE OPTIONS, then select the checkbox to "use old embed code". You must select to use the old embed code in your eBay auction description. The old embed code starts with "object" The new embed code uses <IFRAME> which is prohibited in an eBay item description.
6. When listing the item on eBay, click the HTML tab to insert the embed code you just copied.
I believe using video clips to present an item in good working condition will give you an advantage over other eBay sellers listing the similar items. Potential buyers will appreciate that your auction has a video clip showing how an item operates or that the item is in good working order. I have used video clips in many of my auction listings including:
1. Handheld video games
2. Vintage clocks
3. Vintage toys
4. Vintage Christmas lights

Kegs and Dorms
ISBN13:by Temple, Tory; Vaughan, Stephanie; Davitt, Jane
Lightning Source Inc
The best time of a young man's life is when he hits the college scene. From figuring out the best way to meet guys on campus to testing untried limits, the men of Kegs and Dorms take university life and turn it upside-down. In Kiernan Kelly's "Secui Domus," clever Aidan thinks he has a solution for solving campus housing problems, and all he needs is a little help from his friends -- including the delicious Bobby Hatcher, who might just carry a torch for Aidan. Stephanie Vaughan's "Another Believer" takes a look at the train ride of a lifetime in which two college-bound strangers find they have a chemistry that can't be denied. Tory Temple's "What It's All About," a rip-roaring adventure through Rush Week, tells the story of Max, who's out, proud, and confused. Last but not least, Jane Davitt's "Reading Between the Lines" tells the story of Seth and Gabe, the odd-couple-from-hell roommates who are either going to kill
