text: Here I am again! I'm off uni for 5 weeks so decided to try slimfast again. I tried during term time but found it too difficult - way too exhausted and started to affect my studies. So I'm planning on doing sf for these five weeks. Then I'm back at uni for 4 weeks (where I'll eat 500cal below maintenance) then its summer holidays. Yippeeee! I'll follow slimfast over summer. Seems a but convoluted but hey, at least it keeps things interesting! I'm on day 3 now. It's been ok. Not great, have had some bad hunger pangs, but I'm really happy I've resisted takeaways and chocolate!! I'm a big guy - my maintenance cals is roughly 3300 a day, so I have upped the cals to 2100 per day instead of 1800. Here's hoping today goes well!

A bunion (hallux valgus) is a deformity of the base joint of the big toe. The cause is not clear in many cases. The deformity may cause the foot to rub on shoes, which may cause inflammation and pain. Good footwear is often all that is needed to ease symptoms. An operation to correct the deformity is an option if good footwear does not ease symptoms.
What is a bunion?
When your big toe is angled towards the second toe, the deformity is called a bunion (hallux valgus). This causes a bump on the side at the base of the big toe. In addition there is often thickening of the skin and tissues next to the affected joint. The thickened skin and tissues may become inflamed, swollen and painful.
Sometimes a fluid-filled sac (bursa) develops over the joint.
What causes bunions?
The underlying cause is a deformity of the joint at the base of the big toe. The deformity is called hallux valgus. In this deformity the joint develops a prominent sideways angle. Due to this deformity the bones of the big toe are pushed towards the smaller toes.
The skin over the angled joint then tends to rub on the inside of shoes. This may cause thickening and inflammation of the overlying skin and tissues next to the affected joint.
In most cases it is not clear why a hallux valgus deformity develops. There may be some hereditary (genetic) tendency to have a weakness of this joint. In some cases it is associated with a joint problem such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
However, whatever the underlying cause, wearing tight or badly fitting shoes tends to make the problem worse. Wearing such shoes puts extra pressure on the big toe joint and causes friction on the overlying skin.
What symptoms and problems are caused by bunions?
- Pain. You may then have difficulty walking due to pain.
- Inflammation and swelling at the base of the toe. This sometimes becomes infected.
- The foot may become so wide that it can be difficult to find wide enough shoes.
- You may get arthritis in the big toe.
- The second toe can become deformed.
- In severe cases, the big toe can push your second toe up out of place.
What is the treatment for bunions?
Good footwear is often all that is needed
Wearing good footwear does not cure the deformity but may ease symptoms of pain and discomfort. Ideally, get footwear advice from a person qualified to diagnose and treat foot disorders (podiatrist - previously called a chiropodist).
Advice may include:
- Wear shoes, trainers or slippers that fit well and are roomy.
- Don't wear high-heeled, pointed or tight shoes.
- You might find that shoes with laces or straps are best, as they can be adjusted to the width of your foot.
- Padding over the bunion may help, as may ice packs.
- Devices which help to straighten the toe (orthoses) are still occasionally recommended, although trials investigating their use have not found them much better than no treatment at all.
Painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may ease any pain. If the bunion (hallux valgus) develops as part of an arthritis then other medication may be advised. A course of antibiotics may be needed if the skin and tissues over the deformity become infected.
An operation may be advised if a change of footwear does not ease symptoms. The aim of the operation is to straighten the joint as much as possible and relieve pain. It is not usually done just to improve appearance. It can be done using a local or a general anaesthetic and you are usually out of hospital the same day.
The operation chosen by the specialist depends on the severity of the bunion, the shape of your foot, and other factors, such as if you have arthritis in the joint. There are many different types of operation which are used to treat bunions. These range from operations to trim parts of the joint, to a total artificial replacement of the big toe joint (similar to a knee or a hip replacement). A common surgical procedure used is called a scarf osteotomy (osteotomy means a cut in the bone).
An operation is usually successful at easing symptoms, but not in all cases. It is not always possible to relieve the pain completely or make the toe perfectly straight. Your specialist will be able to advise on the pros and cons of surgery, and the success rate of the chosen operation. Continued pain, infection and the bunion returning are some of the complications of surgery of which you need to be aware.
You will need to continue to wear sensible, wide-fitting shoes for six months after the operation - see Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital leaflet in 'References' below, for further details.

<it>Abstract</it>—A simple vectorized method for calculating a moving sum is developed. Our proposed method is suitable for register-to-register vector computers and entails much less redundant floating-point operations than the vectorized algorithm of Mossberg [<ref rid="BIBC13353" type="bib">3</ref>]. We demonstrate the performance of our vectorized algorithm on the CRAY X-MP EA/116se supercomputer.

The Story of an Hour
by Kate Chopin
Character Role Analysis
Mrs. Louise Mallard
Mrs. Mallard is a classic late nineteenth-century protagonist. Stuck in a domestic space, trapped in an unfulfilling marriage, full of longing for freedom, and even diagnosed with a weak heart… Mrs. Mallard has many of the characteristics of other traditional heroines of her time. In a way, that seems to be the point. It's what Mrs. Mallard does with the event of her husband's death, what makes her unlike other women in her position, that makes her interesting. Somehow, when she hears about her husband's death, it's almost like she's being reborn as a new person, under her own control – as though she gets a new lease on life. Because she's the protagonist, we root for her to have that life and enjoy it. It's too bad she doesn't get to.

What: "What is Socrates' Question?" presented by John Bova, a doctoral candidate in philosophy at Villanova University
When: Wednesday, July 23, 3:15 p.m.
Where: Junior Common Room, Peterson Student Center
St. John's College, 1160 Camino Cruz Blanca
Admission: Free
Details: What is the signature question asked by Plato's Socrates in what are sometimes called his elenctic, or refutational, conversations? This question apparently answers itself! We all know, on the authority of Aristotle, that Socrates' question is none other than this very ti esti, or What is...? question that we have used in posing this or any problem of essence. Nevertheless, Bova suggests that Plato's dialogues show a different answer—that the ti esti defines only one pole of a dual Socratic question.
Bova earned a BS in philosophy and mathematics from Towson University in 2002, an MA in Eastern Classics from St. John's College in 2003, and an MA in philosophy from Villanova University in 2009. He is now a doctoral candidate in the philosophy department at Villanova University. Since 2012 he has been an affiliated researcher in the philosophy department of the University of New Mexico. The title of his forthcoming dissertation is The Idea of the Good: Metalogic is Ethics.

Three Must-Read Articles
Every Friday we select a handful of in-depth articles we think are worth a bit of your valuable weekend time, either because they peel back the layers on a compelling business story, or somehow make us look at business in a different light.
What board directors really do in their free time. No surprise, but board members like to golf–at least male board members living in North America do. Travel is another popular pursuit, especially for female board members in Asia, North America or Europe. The Harvard Business Review's Boris Groysberg and Deborah Bell surveyed corporate directors world-wide on their personal pursuits, partly to understand the role interests play in group dynamics. "Throughout our research on boards, directors have repeatedly emphasized that being in sync with their fellow board members is a key to establishing good board dynamics," they write. They find differences in interests not only across global regions but between the sexes. "Another observation that especially intrigued us: the percentage of directors in each region who named 'family and friends' as an outside interest," they write. "This finding made us wonder if the work-life balance had become so complicated for many that spending time with family and friends had come to be regarded as an interest."
How the iPod president crashed. Part of the aura surrounding Barack Obama's successful 2008 campaign concerned his faith in how technology would guide D.C. into the digital age. Presidential advisers talked about "their boss's belief that it was time for an 'iPod government,'" Ezra Klein writes in Businessweek. But HealthCare.gov proves that the administration got iPods confused with Microsoft Zunes. "The iPod was a disruptive innovation. It destroyed a lot of companies," Klein writes. Creating an iPod government would need to be equally disruptive, "overhauling the federal procurement system" and "ripping through the IT departments of agency after agency." Those government technology programs that have worked–such as the U.K.'s gov.uk—did so because the responsible organizations were able to create a culture that attracted top technologists, not the "entrenched vendors who haven't really had to compete in the world of technology," as one White House insider explains.
Google's original X-Man. Artificial intelligence and robotics expert Sebastian Thrun tells Foreign Affairs that as far as innovation is concerned, the best is yet to come. "I believe we live in an age where most interesting inventions have not been made, where there are enormous opportunities to move society forward," he says. Mr. Thrun has every right to such an opinion, given his self-described role trying to "massively change society for the better." He led the team that won the 2005 DARPA driverless car challenge, became the first head of Google's secretive research lab, Google X, guiding its Google Glass efforts, and founded online education start-up Udacity. "I believe online education can make a difference in the world, more so than almost anything else I've done in my life" he says. At 18, he lost his best friend to a traffic accident, an event that made his later efforts in driverless cars. "I carry this with me every day. I feel that any single life saved in traffic is worth my work," he says.

When I was two my mother, a victim of abuse and undiagnosed bipolar disorder, began drinking heavily. She threw irons, shoes, chairs, and my heavier toys at me for minor infractions. I was beaten with a vacuum cord, thrown against walls, and slapped to the ground. The child abuse continued for years; I took the brunt of it to protect my little sister.When I was in reprimanded in class I was terrified; I'd wet myself whenever there was the threat of a parental phone call. My mother and I are still not close, there's always the fear that her old self will return and I'll need to defend my family again.
I was ridiculed throughout elementary and middle school for my weight (caused by asthma medications), my thick glasses, second-hand clothes, pale skin, nerdiness, and early development. I began expressing myself sexually, convinced that I mattered to those boys and loathing myself when I was rejected.
I attempted suicide for the first time at age seven. I tried to drown myself, entwining my body with the ladder at the bottom of my pool. I let the air out of my legs until my vision began to tunnel. The sun glimmered above me, I was grateful for that last peaceful image. My body floated face up to the top of the pool as it went limp.
When I was 12, I came out as bisexual to my parents. Struggling with my new-found sexuality, I tried fruitlessly to learn more in my semi-homophobic school, setting a path for other kids to come out. Throughout middle school, I went from boyfriend to girlfriend to boyfriend.
One slapped me in the face for having male friends; I stood up for myself and punched him back. I became violent, angry learning to defend myself. I broke a girl's jaw for insulting my sister and laughed when I heard the damage.
When I hit high school, I began dating my best friend, a wonderful boy. His alcoholic mother claimed I was "stealing him" and tried to keep us apart by telling him I was cheating on him. In turn, he began cheating on me with my one of my best male friends. I tried to save face and pretend I was okay, but I felt I was never enough. When he dumped me, I was nearly 3 months pregnant. He broke up with me in the hallway of a Disney World resort so I could be surrounded by friends.
We were 16.
I kept the pregnancy a secret. When I miscarried, I passed it off as an incredibly painful period and urinary tract infection. It stayed a secret until I confided in a friend three years later which lead to my new-found reputation as the girl who blew and screwed any boy who looked my way. So many people were hurt by my actions.
I slept with friend's boyfriends and drug dealers for free weed.
I fell in love again when I was nearly 18 to a man four years my senior. He was tall, sexy, intelligent, and damaged; a former cocaine addict who traded his coke habit for a sex addiction. He promised me the world and I gave him my love and the promise of marriage. Little did I know that he had a girlfriend of four years on the side. When I found out, I was in too deep to give a damn. We skulked around, never posting pictures of our "love," meeting at IHOP for homework and hash browns.
My roommates were emotionally abusive, calling me a "slut" for being an atheist who engaged in premarital sex. I was called names and locked out of the apartment. I spiraled downward, swallowing a bottle of sleeping pills and throwing them up.
My best friend called me, demanding that I get away from that toxic home. He held me through the night and I grabbed onto him like a leech. I dumped my selfish fiance and moved on. I forced my best friend into a relationship he didn't want and we picked up and moved to a new city to escape my old life. It was a mistake; he pushed me away, hated my spotty sexual history.
Eventually, I convinced him to move in with me. I finally had him all to myself. The next two years were a constant back and forth between rejection and acting like we were in a relationship. He reminded me that I wasn't pure or perfect. My high sex drive was a sign of my sluttiness and he withheld sex on a whim. The pounds packed on. I felt he was the only person I could convince to date me. I was dumped countless times and came crawling back each time, convinced we were soulmates.
Finally, I went home and consoled myself between the legs of an old fuck buddy. I felt guilty but said nothing. Seven days after we rung in the new year, my not-boyfriend dumped me. My world came crashing down and I gave up. I started thinking that I could have an identity without him. I cried for two months straight until one day, I stopped.
I got up and threw myself into something that wasn't him, losing fifty pounds in the process. I returned to my tried and true plan of getting over someone by getting under someone. This time, it worked even better than I could have hoped for. It reminded me that I owned my body, that I was desirable.
Three months after he dumped me, he decided I was good enough, attractive enough to be loved. He expected to come running back. I stopped, looked at my life and realized I'd fought through so much, I didn't need to subject myself to more bullshit. Today, I'm happy. I'm dating the fuck buddy, an amazing man who has shown me what love and caring look like.
Life goes on.
It gets better.
You get to be happy.4 Comments

Lots of reasons could cause shell stickyness.
1. trim your brass to its >(minimum) acceptable tolerance.
2. consider using a Small base resizing die.
3. a headspace comparator gauge like the Hornady tool is nice to set your dies up with.
4. seat your bullets to their suggested cartridge OAL >(minimum.)
(To cut a die or shellholder) I myself wouldn't resort to such a draconian tactic to remedy this type of issue. Reason being: You would loose your dies lifetime warranty and there are a few other things you need to check out first.

text: At about 4:30 yesterday afternoon, I found 5 Long-tailed Ducks at the Thief River Falls wastewater treatment ponds. There were 3 adult males with long tails blowing in the wind, and 2 dark females or juveniles. The birds were found in the large cell on the west side looking from the viewing mound. Shelley Steva and I went back this morning, and were able to locate 2 of the birds in the most easterly cell ( the other cells were completely frozen over this morning) - one of the lighter adults, and one of the darker birds. After Shelley left I subsequently found two more darker birds.With that in mind, there must have been at least six LTDU there in all.

General Motors December Clean-Up
It's well before the spring, but General Motors is in clean up mode.
This week in addition to naming a new CEO Mary Barra, the first woman to lead a car company, GM made three major announcements:
#1 It's getting rid of its 7% stake in Peugeot.
#2 It's selling the rest of its stake in Ally, the car maker's former financing unit once called GMAC.
#3 It's getting out of Australia.
As the WSJ's Rob Taylor and Jeff Bennett reported earlier this week, outgoing CEO Dan Akerson has been rushing to clean up other parts of the business. Among the other major strategic decisions announced in recent weeks: Chevrolet will not longer be sold in Europe; and production will be cut back in Europe.
As GM scales back overseas, it also has one less tie to the U.S., which is auspicious for the car maker. The Treasury Department sold its last remaining shares of the automaker on Monday, recouping $39 billion of its $49.5 investment/rescue.
Investors haven't responded to the latest announcements. This week, GM's stock is basically treading water.
But overall they like what they see. GM shares are up nearly 40% this year and have gained 22% since the car maker's 2010 IPO.

Lights out at St. Paul jazz club the Artists' Quarter
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER | Updated 12/27/2013
There's talk of St. Paul's Artists' Quarter living on, but the musician who ran the jazz club for three decades is calling this week its finale.
Downtown Bill Brown performed with Billy Franze and owner Kenny Horst for the crowd at the Artists' Quarter in St. Paul Saturday, December 14, 2013.

Kirk Ahlberg, 38, and Liz Adams, 32, both of St. Paul enjoyed each others' company while sitting at a secluded table at The Artists Quarter in St. Paul on a Tuesday night.
Kenny Horst, The Artists' Quarter owner, talked about the history of owning a jazz club, Friday, January 11, 2013 in St. Paul, MN.
It really is the kind of place where everybody knows your name — or at least your pseudonym.
The entire staff at the Artists' Quarter was surprised and delighted to see the guy known as Johnny Cool cozy up to the bar two Saturdays ago. Granted, the staff is only made up of four people who, combined, have put in more than 60 years at St. Paul's best music room and the Twin Cities' oldest jazz club.
Each of them recognized Johnny as one of the guys who dates back to the "old AQ" of the 1980s in Minneapolis. They even dug out a bottle of Lambrusco wine that had been sitting in the cooler, waiting three years for his return.
"Where you been?" club owner Kenny Horst asked the real-life John Napue, 79, a question that went unanswered.
"I had to come back at least one last time, while it's still here," Napue said somberly.
Horst has been hearing that a lot since early October, when he choked back tears to tell us his plans to close the Artists' Quarter at the end of the year. He blamed a rise in rent (still modest by downtown standards), a stagnant revenue stream (modest by any standard) and the fact that he marked his 70th birthday last January (modestly surprising when you see him; or at least he still looks young in the club's candlelight).
Seated at the bar an hour before showtime a couple of weekends ago — where, in five minutes' time, one patron asked about making a donation, and two more stopped to say how sorry they were — Horst was able to laugh a little about the pending closure. It's actually been good for business, he wryly noted.
"There's a mattress store on Robert Street near my house [in West St. Paul] that has been advertising a going-out-of-business sale for about five years now," he cracked. "Maybe I should've announced this a long time ago."
The outpouring of support, however, hasn't been so good that it changed Kenny's mind.
He might help new AQ owners with the booking, should they buy the club and the current location remains viable. That's a big "if," even with St. Paul's mayor pushing for it. Either way, the AQ as we know it — with Kenny calling the shots, and paying the bills, and filling the bookings, and stocking the bar and changing the few light bulbs — will be a thing of the past come Jan. 1.
Damn him, he always was a man of his word.
'Always run with integrity'
"Kenny is one of the great ones," confirmed Lew Tabackin, the Philadelphia sax and flute great who has played with everyone from the Manhattan Transfer to Tom Waits and headlined the AQ untold times.
"The lunatics are taking over the asylum" is what Tabackin said years ago when he heard that Horst, Billy Peterson and some other Twin Cities jazz musicians were taking over the AQ.
The original AQ, located on 26th Street near Nicollet in south Minneapolis, became Horst's excuse to quit the road and stay close to his wife, Dawn, and two sons. He had been a working drummer since the 1960s when he got into club booking, having played with the likes of Mose Allison and Bobby Lyle.
"Kenny was kind of left holding the bag" after his partners dropped out, Tabackin recalled. "But he held onto it for a long, long time and created something beautiful out of it."

Put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry. note: There is a well-authenticated anecdote of Cromwell. On a certain occasion, when his troops were about crossing a river to attack the enemy, he concluded an address, couched in the usual fanatic terms in use among them, with these words: "Put your trust in God; but mind to keep your powder dry!"

One personal anecdote of a man is worth a volume of biography.
Theology, Mr. Fortune found, is a more accommodating subject than mathematics; its technique of exposition allows greater latitude. For instance when you are gravelled for matter there is always the moral to fall back upon. Comparisons too may be drawn, leading cases cited, types and antetypes analysed and anecdotes introduced. Except for Archimedes mathematics is singularly naked of anecdotes.
Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893 - 1978)

If you notice phrases, ideas, and anecdotes that closely resemble those that appear elsewhere in my writing, it's not a matter of sloppy editing. I'm repeating myself. I'm reshuffling words in the hope that just once I might say something exactly right. And I'm still wrestling with dilemmas that are not easily resolved or easily dismissed. I run at them again and again because I am not finished with them. Any may never be. Work-in- progress on a life-in-progress is what my writing is about. And some progress in the work is enough to keep it going on.
Robert Fulghum (1937 -)
Men grind and grind in the mill of a truism, and nothing comes out but what was put in. But the moment they desert the tradition for a spontaneous thought, then poetry, wit, hope, virtue, learning, anecdote, and all flock to their aid.

Josiah Quincy, one-time mayor of Boston and president of Harvard University, recalled: "I will repeat an anecdote which I think Daniel Webster gave at a dinner, though, as I made no note of it, it is just possible that he told it in my presence at some later date. The conversation was running upon the importance of doing small things thoroughly and with the full measure of one's ability. This Webster illustrated by an account of some petty insurance case that was brought to him when a young lawyer in Portsmouth. Only a small amount was involved, and a twenty-dollar fee was all that was promised. "He saw that, to do his clients full justice, a journey to Boston, to consult the law library, would be desirable. He would be out of pocket by such an expedition, and for his time he would receive no adequate compensation. After a little hesitation he determined to do his very best, cost cost what it might. He accordingly went to Boston looked up the authorities, and gained the case. "Years after this, Webster, then famous, was passing through New York City. An important insurance case was to be tried the day after his arrival, and one of the counsel had been suddenly taken ill. Money was no object, and Webster was begged to name his terms and conduct the case. " 'I told them,' Mr. Webster, 'that it was preposterous to prepare a legal argument at a few hours' notice. They insisted, however, that I should look at the papers; and this after some demur, I consented to do. Well, it was my old twenty-dollar case over again, and as I never forget anything, I had all the authorities at my fingers' ends. The Court knew that I had no time to prepare, and was astonished at the range of my acquirements. So, you see, I was handsomely paid both in fame and money for that journey to Boston; and the moral is that good work is rewarded in the end, though, to be sure, one's self-approval should be enough.'"
Josiah Quincy (1744 - 1775)
Anecdotes and maxims are rich treasures to the man of the world, for he knows how to introduce the former at fit place in conversation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
An anecdote is related of Sir Anthony Ashley Cooper (1621-1683), who, in speaking of religion, said, "People differ in their discourse and profession about these matters, but men of sense are really but of one religion." To the inquiry of "What religion?" the Earl said, "Men of sense never tell it."
Gilbert Burnet (1643 - 1715)

A Little Happiness in Sapporo
Category: People
Photo and caption by Kent Shiraishi
A Small Bar in Sapporo,Hokkaido. I looked at the couple of the middle age which kisses at the place. While people whom he does not know are looking, that an elderly man kisses a woman is a spectacle which can rarely be seen in Japan. I was charmed by this woman's expression. And I placed the camera before my belly and pushed the shutter only once.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
From our September 1 Issue: We're...
As Translational Medicine Data Become More...
Novartis is buying Corthera Pharmaceuticals for $120 million to get its hands on the latter's Phase III heart-failure drug Relaxin. Corthera's current shareholders could be eligible to split another $500 million dependent on clinical milestones, regulatory approval, and commercialization targets.
Under the terms of the deal, Novartis will have exclusive, worldwide rights to Relaxin, except Australia and Canada. It will take over full responsibility for developing and commercializing the drug. The naturally occurring peptide hormone is being evaluated for treating patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Novartis anticipates making regulatory submissions in the U.S. and Europe during 2013. FDA granted Relaxin fast track status in October.
"Relaxin will be an important addition to our expanding pipeline of novel development projects targeting cardiovascular disease," remarks Trevor Mundel, M.D., Novartis global head of development. The company's pipeline includes LCZ 696, a single-molecule, dual-acting angiotensin receptor blocker/neprilysin inhibitor, which recently started in Phase III trials for systolic heart failure. LCI699 is a Phase II-stage aldosterone synthase inhibitor in development as a potential treatment for heart failure. Elinogrel is an antiplatelet agent in Phase II for reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
The firm's existing cardiovascular portfolio includes hypertension drugs Diovan, Exforge, and Tekturna/Rasilez. Exforge comprises a combination of Diovan and the calcium channel blocker amlodipine. Exforge HCT, which adds a diuretic to the Diovan-amlopidine combination, was launched in the U.S. after regulatory approval in April. Valturna, a single-pill combination of Tekturna/Rasilez and Diovan, was approved in the U.S. in September. Rasilez was launched in Japan in October.
Diovan achieved sales of $4.4 billion in the first nine months of 2009, up 5% from the first nine months of 2008. Sales of Tekturna/Rasilez in the first three quarters of this year were $202 million, up 114%. Exforge achieved sales of $475 million during this period, up 81% from last year's first three quarters.

NCAA Eligibility Center
NCAA Eligibility Center
By Tom Kovic
The NCAA Eligibility Center is an organization that collaborates with the NCAA and is charged with the job to determine eligibility for all incoming Division I and Division II freshmen student-athletes. This is achieved through the evaluation of high school academic records and by calculating the core course GPA with standardized testing.
Each division has individual standards for entering freshmen and below is a brief description of how eligibility is determined:
In Division 1, freshmen athletes must meet minimum eligibility standards that are based on 3 factors: 1) core course grade point average, 2) standardized test score and 3) minimum academic requirement (16 core courses). The grade point average and standardized testing are calculated on a sliding scale. In addition, the grade point average must be determined by pre-approved core courses.
Division II eligibility standards work similarly to Division I, but utilize a simpler formula. All entering freshmen who wish to practice and compete must demonstrate 1) at least a 2.0 core course grade point average and 2) either a minimum SAT score of 820 (verbal and math), or a minimum score of 68 on the ACT. In addition, the grade point average must be determined by 14 pre-approved core courses.
Eligibility requirements to compete at the Division III level are determined differently and decided internally. Basically, once a student has been admitted to a Division III school he/she will be eligible to practice and compete.
The core course requirement may seem a little confusing, but what the Eligibility Center is trying to accomplish is to be sure that prospects are taking the meat and potato high school academic coursework. Therefore, grades in courses such as art, music and physical education are NOT calculated in the core course GPA.
Registration with the Eligibility Center is a 2 step process and I encourage prospects and families to begin registration soon after junior year grades are in. The first step is painless and families can register online at www.ncaa.org/eligibilitycenter. All you need is a credit card to pay the annual fee ($50.00) and it takes about 15 minutes to fill in your contact information. Final eligibility will be determined after the senior year grades are presented to the Eligibility Center.
Step 2 requires the prospect to work closely with the guidance counselor and/or college advisor in assisting the prospect through this process. The advisor will submit a form (Form 48H) to the NCAA Eligibility Center for the core course evaluation. (Only courses offered in the disciplines of English, math, social science and natural/physical science will be considered, along with additional academic courses. Final eligibility will be determined after the senior year grades are presented to the Eligibility Center.
Do not wait for your advisor to contact you to assist you with the Eligibility Center registration! Each student must complete and file an application to the NCAA EC. This application, along with current high school transcripts will be sent from the guidance office at the high school to the Eligibility Center. Show the advisor you are a willing team member and will assist in any way to facilitate the process.
Freshman eligibility is very important and should not be treated lightly. Considering the tremendous effort exerted by the prospect, family, college coach and high school administrators during this process, it would be in the best interest of the prospect to approach registration with the Eligibility Center with enthusiasm and care. The bottom line is that you cannot contribute to the team if you cannot practice and compete!
Tom Kovic is a former Division I college coach and the current director of Victory Collegiate Consulting (www.victoryrecruiting.com), where he provides individual advisement for families on college recruiting. Tom recently launched www.collegerecruiting.tv which is an educational content website that will assist families and prospects in building their plans for the college quest.

Antitrust's Rule of Reason: Only Competition Matters
Gregory J. Werden
U.S. Department of Justice - Antitrust Division
March 1, 2013
The rule of reason is the standard for testing whether a restraint of trade violates the Sherman Act. The thesis of this article is that the only issue under the rule of reason is the impact of a restraint on the competitive process; the Sherman Act does not employ a welfare standard. This thesis is developed first by clarifying welfare concepts, explaining how the views of Robert Bork have been misrepresented, and examining the relationship between the Sherman Act's goal and its liability standard. The article then reviews Supreme Court decisions articulating and explicating the rule of reason to show that the Court's focus has been on the competitive process rather than welfare. The article also outlines the application of the rule of reason using impact on the competitive process as the test for legality. Finally, the article shows that Sherman Act cases cited by scholars as adopting or implying a welfare standard actually do no such thing.

In accordance with the problem and solution approach, the boards have developed certain criteria for identifying the closest prior art to be treated as a starting point.
The boards have repeatedly pointed out that the closest prior art for assessing inventive step is normally a prior art document disclosing subjectmatter conceived for the same purpose or aiming at the same objective as the claimed invention and having the most relevant technical features in common, i.e. requiring the minimum of structural modifications (see point 3.2 below). A further criterion for the selection of the most promising starting point is the similarity of technical problem (see point 3.3 below). In a number of decisions, the boards have explained how to ascertain the closest prior art constituting the easiest route for the skilled person to arrive at the claimed solution or the most promising starting point for an obvious development leading to the claimed invention (see point 3.4 below).
The determination of the closest prior art is therefore an objective and not a subjective exercise. It is made on the basis of the notional skilled man's objective comparison of the subject-matter, objectives and features of the various items of prior art leading to the identification of one such item as the closest (T 1212/01).
After the relevant prior art has been identified, careful consideration must be given to the question whether, in the case concerned, the skilled person, taking into account all the available information on the technical context of the claimed invention, would have had good reason to take this prior art as the starting point for further development. The term "state of the art" in Art. 54 EPC 1973 should be understood as "state of technology", and "everything" in Art. 54(2) EPC 1973 is to be understood as concerning the information which is relevant to a field of technology (T 172/03).
In T 1464/05 the board considered the features rendered available to the public by a public prior use as the closest state of the art.
The closest prior art must be assessed from the skilled person's point of view on the day before the filing or priority date valid for the claimed invention (T 24/81, OJ 1983, 133; T 772/94, T 971/95, Guidelines G-VII, 5.1 – June 2012 version).
Unidentified "prior art" cited in the patent does not form part of the state of the art within the meaning of Art. 54(2) EPC 1973 and cannot be used for basing an assessment of inventive step (T 671/08).

Skip to comments.Update: Attorney Mario Apuzzo Files Ballot Access Challenge Against Obama Today in NJ
Posted on 04/06/2012 6:35:01 AM PDT by Seizethecarp
Mario Apuzzo, Esq., Today, April 5, 2012, I filed with the New Jersey Secretary of State in Trenton, New Jersey, the Objection Of Nicholas E. Purpura and Theodore T. Moran To Petition Of Nomination Of Barack Obama, also Known As Barack Hussein Obama II, Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro, and Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah. That office reviewed the Objection and decided that it did merit a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
The Objection to Obamas nominating petition is that he has not provided competent and sufficient evidence to the New Jersey Secretary of State showing his identity and that he was born in the United States, and that even if he were born in the United States, he is not and cannot be an Article II natural born Citizen because he was not born to two U.S. citizen parents. The Objection therefore demands that the Secretary of State not permit Obamas name to be printed on the primary and general election ballot.
There will be a plenary hearing on Tuesday, April 10, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. before an Administrative Law Judge at the Office of Administrative Law, 9 Quakerbridge Plaza, Trenton, New Jersey 08625.

Mario not giving up...
Mario Apuzzo puts Joe Arpaio's "probable cause" finding in a ballot challenge...
when you're right you're right.
Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah. Haven't heard that one before.
No judge wants to touch this, which is why this administrative court judge will dismiss this, regardless of the evidence. It's already happened a half-dozen times.
We live in bizarro world when questioning the eligibility of someone who spent most of his formative years in foreign countries practicing a terrorist religion is considered to be crazy talk.
OK we need to look for a judge who is not a coward
anyone know any?
How about that judge who made Holder submit 3 pages in writing, single spaced, identifying the administration's understannnding of Separation of Powers and the rolde of the Supreme Court?
Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Not just a judge who is not a coward but how about the SOS.
The problem is after the Trayvon Martin Hysteria what do you think the person that rejects obama as ballot ready will face?
"Video: Baer/Haggerty Offensive of Repatriot Radio
presents Dr. Jerome Corsi in Morristown"
Corsi did not reference any specific evidence in support of his doubts.
True or not, at this point I believe it is best for the public focus to be strictly on what can be proved with evidence that has been made public, as Joe Arpaio is doing and as Corsi has mostly done, so far.
The public is ready to accept evidence that the LFBC and SSS form were forged. For now it would be best to stick with that until and unless Corsi is able to present actual evidence that SADO is not Barry's mom, IMO.
Jerome Corsi shows the passport image obtained with a FOIA request in the video at the link of his presentation in Morristown.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo Files Ballot Access Challenge Against Obama Today in NJ
Filing in the People Republic of NJ...ain't holding my breath!
Thank you, seizethecarp.
Some translation is necessary:
Administrative Law Judge = Black Female Democrat Appointee.
A hearing = a proceeding having nothing to do with anything, that is intended to direct the good Apuzzo and his clients to the exit. Again. Using the Georgia case as a precedent, of course.
That office reviewed the Objection = Uh-Oh, we had better get this out the door before it develops into something we can't control.
Attention PR Department:
Alert MSM to totally ignore.
Okay, now this would be really interesting. Suppose the actual, hard evidence - DNA and whatnot - ultimately proves that Obama IS a natural born citizen because his true father was Malcolm X and that's what Obama has been hiding all this time.
All the eligibility controversy would stop on a dime, but then, so would the Obama regime. Of course Barry would probably go to prison for life and America would live happily everafter.
Perfect translation! How many languages do you master?
Take hart, melancholy. A NJ Sheriff and NJ Congressman were impressed enough with a recent Jerome Corsi presentation that they are calling for an investigation.
Unlike the GA hearing and unlike all prior hearings, this is the first hearing where the Arpaio posse finding of probable cause of criminal acts committed by Barry's minions on his behalf will be on the record, not civil court speculative filings regarding his NBC status or birth location.
I'm afraid you're probably right. Nixon was forced out of office by an energized media and judicial system (and Clinton was endangered to a lesser degree). When the major media outlets become pure propaganda mills for the political power structure and are abetted by a compromised judicial system, nothing much can happen. And don't think that the politicians haven't noticed!
Yeah, good luck wit' dat.
I've never been able to find it again, but when Obummer was running for office, there was a statement that dna was taken from a glass of Obummer's supposed grandparents, and matched against Obummer's dna from a glass, by legal authorities (can't remember FBI or CIA) and there was no dna connection. So unless Stanley Ann was an adopted child, there was no way Obummer was related to his supposed grandparents.
Thank you for the links.
BTW, following the 0b0z0 attack on SCOTUS, I heard someone on FOX (didn't see who because I was in another room using headphones and I paraphrase) that 0b0z0 should show his grades since he is pontificating!
That's in my opinion the best way to stop the MSM bastards from defending his "citizenship" NOT his NBC!
Nothing is wrong with asking for his "Law Qualifications." This will take him down the sewer from where he squirted!
I have been saying for years that it is the education records, stupid!
I would like to see the student's grades and most likely will pass him with honors on lying and applying "Rules For Radicals" religiously!
Dr. Alinsky, Ph.D. in education, NOT an Obstetrician (birthing, etc.)
Sirica's dead.
I'm sure New jersey needs a new nuclear power plant or some major federal funding for upgrades to the turnpike.
This too will dissappear down a rat hole.
Relentlessly 'twitter' the cr@p out of the media on this .... that's what the left does to get something started (like the stop Rush campaign). They won't listen, but there are cracks beginning to appear in Obummer's 'cover story' (thanks, Sheriff Joe!) & they are starting to ooze a stinking slime .... if folks keep chipping away, the cracks are going to get larger & eventually the truth will out.
hmmm wonder how bold and daring Christie will be with this in his backyard? Lion or a Mouse?
You might be right. However, with this case, Arpaio's cold case posse has added a new twist or two to the official narrative.
How does one claim eligibility using forged documents?
It's especially tricky if you're already in Constitutional hot water for very publicly spouting off to the Supremes.
Excellent idea, MissMagnolia. Just wondering though, how do you think Rush is going to handle this when it all unravels. Clearly, this is not going away, yet Rush has only danced around the edges of this issue. Certainly no longer the "cutting edge of societal evolution" as he claims. But I will concede that he and others may have been threatened.
You're right.
FReepers who have FB and Twitter accounts should use those liberal organizations to 0b00ze out 0b00z0 from the slime. Slime would be OK when cleansed its major component, 0b0z0, that is.
Is this a coincidence?
March 2011 - Trump escalates call for Barry to release the LFBC.
April 2011 - Corsi's book "Where's the Birth Certificate?" is set to come out.
April 27, 2011 - Barry releases an image of an alleged LFBC on the WWW.
May 1st, 2011 (U.S. time) - Bin Laden is said to have been killed after ~6+ month's of knowing where he was, occurring at the start of a new week for news effectively burying the "BC" release story.
March 1st, 2012 - Sheriff Joe holds a press conference regarding their B.C. & other findings.
March 9th, 2012 - The Trayvon Martin case (which occurred on Feb 26, 12 days earlier) begins national attention.
March 31st, 2012 - Sheriff Joe holds 2nd press conference regarding the B.C. issue.
April 2nd, 2012 - Barry makes his ridiculous statements regaurding the pending SCOTUS decision on Barry care...taking up most of the national news (in conjunction with the continued focus on the local Trayvon case).
I'm a south Jersey conservative. Not many in NJ at all. Christie may put on a front but NJ is the most corrupt state in the USA. Chicago gets the bigger publicity but NJ has fraud in the open and no one will mention it. All ALJ's are Dems and flunkys. Most of the higher judges in NJ have been promoted to judge to get rid of them in other positions of authority. They just shuffle around collecting money. NJ will not even touch this. I pray they would but NJ is just too political. They will be on the side of "free Obama money".
March 9th, 2012 - The Trayvon Martin case (which occurred on Feb 26, 12 days earlier) begins national attention.
Is this a coincidence?..........
I was thinking this myself. Sort of like a test run to see how much trouble can be stirred up in the streets if it was needed later this year.
I think you just hit the nail on the head.
Everthing has pointed to Zimmerman being a good citizen and that he was protecting himself.
With all the racist groups, organizations, media, and the go from the racist in the whitehut, an incident like this could bring about full blown riots.
Two Obama Eligibility Cases at U.S. Supreme Court: One Set for Conference on April 20th
Makes one wonder whether the Obama Kabuki Theatre earlier in the week (the attack on the Supremes as an "unelected body") had more to do with these upcoming challenges.
March 1st, 2012 - Brietbart mysteriously dies
March 1st, 2012 - Rush Limbaugh has a bomb scare at his home
Don't forget the whole Sandra Fluke/Rush Limbaugh hysteria too.
Thanks for the ping, melancholy.
You beat me to it. On February 29, a colleague and I were discussing what would be the big news story the following day that would nuke the Arpaio press conference out of the news cycle.
Now we know.
Does anybody know what all these "calls" for this or that mean?
Jack squat. So and so calls for this, so and so calls for that.
How bout a freaking letter to the powers at be or a visit to somebody"s office.
call away, its a joke....
OK. It is on the record. Now what?
You see Carp, if the system were working anywhere near properly, the NJ SoS would already have your "probable cause" to remove the Mombasa MF from the NJ ballot. "Why?" you ask.
Because the question has been raised! There is some reasonable doubt. One of the neigbors says Joe Gorski is ineligible to serve as Dogcatcher of Lawrenceville. Says he's underage and actually lives in Pennington! The way this works is now candidate Gorski for Dogcatcher of Lawrenceville would need to supply his qualifications for office to the appropriate authority.
Happens in every election.
Okay, this hearing was scheduled for 2 1/2 hours ago.
Any field reports?
We are all missing the point.
These calls for "investigation" provide excellent cover for The Mombasa MF. The AG of any state has sufficient cause to ask for any candidate's bona fides at any time. There's enough smoke swirling around this guy for any; I say ANY, state AG to simply do his job and take him from the ballot.
If he wants back on, he'll have to cough up "proof" that he is a Natural Born Citizen, not just an Hawaiian "Birth Certificate," real or fake.
Newsflash: ANY, I say right now, ANY State AG has the complete right to deny that proof, throwing Team Obama onto the court system as the PLAINTIFF ... and most certainly fast-tracking the issue to the Supremes.
If this issue is ever to have any resolution ... which I presently doubt ... it will have to be on the state level. OTOH, nowhere in the Constitution does it say this lash-up is going to last forever.
pessimism ping
Here is a preview of results from Mario Apuzzo's NJ hearing:
The hearing started bout 9:30 a.m. and lasted about 3 1/2 hours. The judge asked a lot of questions on the natural born Citizen issue, repeatedly interrupting the Attorney Mario Apuzzo's presentation.
The judge did not wish to hear anything about forged documents and refused to allow any evidence to be entered on those issues since Obama had not presented his birth certificate or draft registration documents in any form to NJ, so those issues of alleged forgery are not before his court. His reasoning was that the only legal matters before him are whether Obama has to provide any documentation such as a certified copy of his birth certificate with a raised seal on it to the state of New Jersey to try to prove his qualifications as to place of birth in the USA and also as to whether Obama's father being a foreign national and non-U.S. Citizen impacts where Obama is a natural born Citizen or not. The judge seems to place a lot of weight on prior cases that the "Obama for America" campaign defense counsel brought up such as the Ankeny case and Wong King Ark.
However, the judge did listen very attentively to Mr. Apuzzo's arguments as how those cases are being misinterpreted and misstated as to what they determined.
The judge ended the hearing saying he would issue an oral YES on NO decision later today (4/10/12) to the Secretary of State of NJ and the two counsels as to whether he recommends to the Secretary of State of NJ Obama being allowed on the ballot in NJ. The written decision will be issued tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Special Event Sunday, May 20th at 4:30pm
Presented by Swallow Hill Music
Digital presentation - Think of a ukulele and you probably imagine grass skirts, slide guitar and kitchy lyrics, but far from being just a novelty instrument, the uke has a rich history and has profoundly affected music around the world.
Originally brought to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants, ukulele music owned the airwaves. Broadway produced ukulele musicals. Hollywood produced ukulele movie stars. The little instrument was so inexpensive and easy to play that by the early twenties the uke was the most popular instrument in the American home and the first musical voice for millions of children. Over the next thirty years the uke was number one, and then, with the rise of rock and roll guitar, faded into nerdy obscurity. Until now.
In the internet age, the ukulele is making a comeback. Ukes top the charts in Japan, Swedish punks thrash uke angst, California popsters serve it to ya ukulele style, and all of them meet together at the myriad ukulele festivals from New York to London and Tokyo. THE MIGHTY UKE travels the world to discover why so many people of different nations, cultures, ages and musical tastes are turning to the ukulele to express themselves, connect with the past, and with each other. From the redwoods of California through the gritty streets of Paris, from swinging London through Tokyo's highrise canyons, ukers tell the story of the people's instrument: The Mighty Uke.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of weekly articles by Travis Daugherty, a 28-year-old veteran, a resident of Vienna and a program analyst for the federal government, as he participates in the Half Marathon Training Program conducted each Monday.
Daugherty left the military in January 2009 and didn't do any exercising until this year. During that time, he gained 70 pounds and had knee surgery performed in March 2011.
Tired of being overweight, he began an exercise program in January of this year, starting on a stationary bike and then moving to an elliptical. By the end of January, he started running and now is training to run in the Aug. 18 News and Sentinel Half Marathon.
VIENNA -This past Monday was the first of 13 half marathon training runs. The night before any races or group runs I can't sleep. I went to bed early and just looked at the ceiling as I thought about the next morning. I was excited to start the training. I finally fell asleep in the early morning hours. My alarm went off at 6am. I got up and ate a small breakfast of a banana and a large cup of ice water, stretched a little then headed to City Park a nice five mile run. My plan was simple, relax and enjoy the run.
I was one of the first couple to show up then more and more started to filter in. We were given a few instructions about the course, and sent us on our way. We stated out by running on Washington Avenue, and after a few blocks I caught up with Vicki Elkins-Earl. She and I have run together a few times before and normally I can maintain a decent pace with her and today didn't seem any different. We then turned onto Dudley Avenue in front of Parkersburg High School and worked our way to Market Street. Two miles in I was starting to loosen up and get into my groove.
There was a water stop at the half way point, were I stopped and had a few sips of water and then continued on my way back up Avery Street. There is a little hill that stated on the corner of 2nd and Avery Street. Over the last four months of running, I have learned to run when I can run and walk when I need to walk. I just relaxed, shortened my stride a little and continued up the incline. We made our way to back over toward Parkersburg High School, back to Dudley Avenue and onto Washington Avenue. This was about the four mile mark.
Running is therapeutic for me, and since it was Memorial Day, I began to think about my friends who had served in the Military and passed on. I also began to think about the cookouts and family gatherings that I had planned later in the day.
While I was thinking about this it seemed to push me to the park to the finish. I made it back before I knew it.
I sat down in the park with a few others and started to stretch and drink some water. It was an easy, fun run
The next run is Monday, June 4 at 5:30pm at City Park. I hope to see you there!

MORGANTOWN - With West Virginia's season opener only five days away, third-year head coach Dana Holgorsen is like several other coaches in the Big 12 - still looking for a starting quarterback.
"No, I haven't picked one yet," Holgerson said during Monday's Big 12 teleconference. "I'm not as antsy as I thought I'd be, though."
That doesn't mean, however, that the former-Oklahoma State offensive coordinator isn't close to making a decision.
"We've had to narrow it down a bit," continued the coach. "Clint (Trickett) and Paul (Millard) have both looked good, so we decided to give them both more snaps in practice.
"I'm just glad we don't play tomorrow. We still have practice on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to make our decision."
One that could include playing both signal-callers. A situation similar to the one facing Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy.
"We're going to play both players," Gundy explained. "We have two guys who both deserve to play. Both played well in games last season. I guess you can say there is some validity in both sides of the argument."
The No. 14 Cowboys open the 2013 campaign against Mississippi State at Reliant Stadium in Houston in one of two contests pitting the Big 12 against the SEC.
"More so from the media," said Gundy to the hype built during the offseason between the two power conferences. "I really haven't heard much from our players or our coaches."
But, the veteran head coach does understand the ramifications a victory would mean for his team as well as the Big 12.
"They (the players) understand the importance of playing the game. But, obviously, the voters across the country will have some say in it."
The other matchup between the two major conferences will occur at 8 p.m. at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington when No. 20 TCU takes on No. 13 LSU.
Texas Tech and first-year head coach Klint Kingsbury kicks off the season at 7 p.m. on Friday when they travel to SMU. Thirty minutes later Kansas State, another program with quarterback questions, plays host to North Dakota State.
"Why did I think that (who the starting quarterback is) would be the first question," Bill Snyder quipped. "Both will play, but Jake Walters will start."
WVU will kick off Saturday's action with the Mountaineers' noon kickoff against the Tribe from William and Mary. The remainder of the opening slate of games includes UL-Monroe at No. 16 Oklahoma, Wofford at Baylor, Northern Iowa at Iowa State and New Mexico State at No. 15 Texas. The only program not in action this weekend will be Kansas. A fact that drew mixed responses from Jayhawks head coach Charlie Weis.
"Normally, I wouldn't like this week off," Weis said. "But, with as many transitional players that we are trying to bring in, I like it.
"We'll treat Saturday as normally as possible with our players, but we (the coaching staff) will be watching a lot of games in order to get a jump start on some of our opponents."

I really want my essay to be pure edited.
If you post it on the forum you will get more responses. (Not everybody will open attachments. I usually don't do so myself.)
It's past my bedtime (10:38PM here). I've got to go.
Factually, people are on the move all the time. People decide to migrate for simple or complex reasons, and it can occur as a result of push and pull factors. They may be moving voluntarily or compulsorily, and it can be permanent or temporary. The movement of people can be internal or external migration. Internal migration is the movement of people inside the country. And whereas external migration is the movement of people outside the country, which means moving to another country or can be called international migration. Migration has an impact on the place that has been left behind by the migrant and also on the place that they are migrating to. These impacts can be both positive and negative. Actually, not only humans are moving, animals too, and it's called animal migration. But it's not sounds common.
There are many reasons why people are moving, and some of the reasons are really common. For examples, natural disasters, better living conditions, job opportunities, poverty and war, and so on. In fact, there are quite a lot of strong reasons why they are leaving their country they live. Firstly, it can be of fearing of their lives because of religious or ethnic persecution. For instance, in Indonesia. As we know, a long time ago, there were many Chinese people moving to Indonesia in order to find better living conditions. Furthermore, they stayed up there and started creating big families and keep increasing until now. In the mean time, the population of Chinese people in Indonesia is only 3% of the population. Unfortunately, there are some Chinese-Indonesians trying to move to another country because of the religious and ethnic persecution. They feel that living in Indonesia makes them feel in feared. Truly, some Indonesians don't like Chinese people. Moreover, Indonesians think that all the Chinese who live in Indonesia are rich, and actually it is not always. Some Chinese are also poor and some of their lives may be uglier than them. In this case, it would be a push factor
Secondly, family links. As I mentioned above, it could be that the one who moves to Indonesia has families in China. Hence, they may be felt solitude and nothing without their families. As a result, they may be moving back to their native country in order to get together with their families. In this case, it would be a pull factor. Another example is, when a person moves to another country to find a better job, he/she would get a homesick and probably move back to his/her native country.
Thirdly, is the enjoyment. Some people who are rich enough, they move to a developed country to live for the entire of their life. They think that by spending their time in a developed country would be much more enjoying rather than staying in a developing country or native country. With good economical, political and environmental, they might live happily. Moreover, they are rich, so they can do anything they want. In addition, with better education, living conditions, medical treatment and technologies, they will get high satisfaction. Therefore, their children and grandchildren may also stay there until they find another better place to live. There are many developed countries which are really popular to live, such as Australia, America, Europe, Japan, etc. In this case, it would be a pull factor. However, there is also a part where people only move for holidays or vacation. They may move temporarily to find a satisfaction or enjoyment. Usually it's influenced by seasons change.
On the other hand, there are also impacts due to the movement of people. One of those is the change of the population both the migrants country' and the country they move. This may change the number of population and could also bring bad effects to both the countries. The population in the country they left will decline and losing their people which may lead to increases of job fields. Besides, the other country where all the people come will get the population increased. This may lead to bad problems, such as, unemployment, crimes, overcrowd, etc. With many jobless people, they would do anything in order to get money; in this case, the level of crimes will rise. Since there are many people in the area, the number of people will increase and be overcrowded. Apart from it, there is also a mixing of different cultures and races, which may lead to negative social behaviors and tensions in society between majorities and minorities, followed often by local struggles and racism and racial discrimination. It is also some positive cultural effects of migration, for example exchange of cultural experience, new knowledge and so on. Deeply, in may bring a good economical condition, for instance, if the country is lacking of workers, the comers will be the workers for them and it's benefiting to both of them. The firms get more workers and the comers get a job.
Lastly, migration can be also animal migration, where animals are being moved around the world. By doing this, all different types of animals in the world are being mixed and combined each other. Hopefully, it might create something new. However, some animals are not really stable in some seasons or condition; therefore, animals like penguins are usually live in the cold side, for instance, Antarctica. For some reasons, some of them are being brought for an experimental thing or even cloning.
In conclusion, I think migration usually happens in developing countries, where people are moving to any developed countries to find better living conditions and security. But sometimes, people in developed countries are also moving to any developing countries in order to have a low cost of living. Most of the factors happening in developing countries are like lack of jobs, wars, crimes, poverty. And in developed countries are usually like, high cost of living. In my opinion, I think migration it's a good way to mix people by races, religious, cultures, education, and even backgrounds. But sometimes it may also destroy the country' cultures and may create conflicts between those differences.
Please help me!
Edit my essay.
This is about migration both within a country and from country to country. People decide to migrate for simple or complex reasons, and migration can occur as a result of push factors or pull factors. Push factors are what make a person decide to leave a certain area. Pull factors are what make a person want to move to a certain area.I had to guess what push and pull factors are, but you shouldn't make your reader do that.
jomo, I tried to respond to your PM but I received the following message: jomo27 has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.
Good luck with your essay!
"While voluntary migration refers to unforced movements, compulsory migration describes the expulsion of minorities from their country of birth by governments, or by warring factions. In the 1970s Asians were expelled from Uganda and Kenya, and the 1990s saw ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia."
RonBee, might we be able to say that the forced relocation of Native Americans during westward expansion is a classic example of compulsory migration?

On Friday, Aug. 16, Hesston Police apprehended Brandon Vanness at 9:40 a.m. at College Street and Randall. Vanness has allegedly been involved in a string of crimes around Harvey and Sedgwick Counties.
Vanness and Michael Kenort, both of Wichita, are suspects in up to four burglaries from cars in Halstead on July 21. One of the vehicles had $300 in cash, glasses, a purse and debit cards stolen. The debit cards were later used at a Newton convenience store and at Sam's Club in Wichita.
Kenort was arrested on July 31.
The two men are facing charges of Burglary, theft, and fraud using an electronic devise or financial card from Halstead, according to Halstead Police Chief Steve Lewis.
Vanness has additional warrants from other counties including McPherson and Sedgwick, according to Halstead Police Chief Steve Lewis and Sheriff T. Walton.
He is also the suspect in an alleged car burglary in Sedgwick, according to T. Walton. "This was a good catch by Officer Carter," said Walton.
According to Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder, who was also one of the arresting officers, Vanness has had several arrests and convictions.
"It is mostly property crimes," said Schroeder.
Vanness made his way to Hesston in a stolen vehicle and ran out of fuel west of town. He then walked to Casey's General Store on Old 81 seeking assistance.
"Casey's called the police department because we administer a fund to help transients. He learned that the police were coming and he abruptly left the store. We found him walking about 20 minutes later at Randall Street and College Street," said Schroeder.
Schroeder and Carter approached Vanness, who was uncooperative.
"He represented himself as someone else and provided false identification," said Schroeder.
Police instructed Vanness he would be taken into custody. Vanness attempted to flee from the officers but was immediately apprehended.
"He was told he was under arrest and immediately started running to the north. He was apprehended in about 30 feet and placed under arrest," said Schroeder.
Following his arrest, Vanness' identity, and criminal history, was discovered.
"Hesston EMS was summoned to treat the individual for minor injuries he sustained due to fleeing. He was then identified as Brandon Vanness and had existing felony arrest warrants for burglary, theft and criminal use of a financial card. It was also learned that Vanness had run out of gas in a vehicle just west of Hesston and that the vehicle was likely stolen," said Schroeder.
Schroeder then contacted state police officials to find the vehicle.
"The Highway Patrol and Sheriff's office assisted us by locating a silver GMC pickup a few miles west of town. The vehicle had been stolen from the Wichita area approximately two weeks ago," said Schroeder.
According to Schroeder it was likely the vehicle was stolen by Vanness shortly after his release from the Kansas Department of Corrections.
"The time frame would suggest the stole the truck shortly after being released from the Kansas Department of Corrections (prison). More than just ignorance, I would suggest he was very desperate and desperate people can be dangerous," said Schroeder.
Vanness will face a number of charges related to his recent arrest.
"He was a charged with felony theft (possession of stolen vehicle) felony escape from custody, felony obstruction of justice and criminal trespassing. Some items from the stolen vehicle are still being investigated as being property from other area crimes," said Schroeder.
Schroeder said residents were not in immediate danger from Vanness.
"He was not a threat to anyone's safety, but while we were dealing with him he was called into our office for because he had entered an outbuilding looking to steal gas - thus the criminal trespass charge," he said.
Schroeder encouraged residents to continue to be aware of their community and surroundings.
"We certainly aren't immune to victimization. I continue to urge residents to call 911 if they see something that doesn't look or feel right to them so that the police department can investigate. In this way, we can ensure our community is as safe as it could possibly be."

When I heard that Ms. Canedy was reelected, I feared she would bring baggage to the new Town Council…and she has confirmed my fears.
In recent news articles/letter to editor, Ms. Canedy has whined about various happenings at Council meetings. Her recent rant about being "relegated…at the far end of the dais in political Siberia" is over the top! First, she should be thankful she was reelected. Second, and more importantly, she should take a moment and think of the thousands of American men and women serving in foreign countries, protecting her and my liberties. Those people serving our country would love to be sitting in a warm room and would not bellyache about seating arrangements.
I would suggest that Ms. Canedy realize that the former Town Council makeup is no more! She should be concerned about the problems facing the Town of Barnstable – not her seat at the table. This is the season of peace, love and hope. Shame on you, Ms. Canedy, for being so petty when there are so many people unemployed, facing foreclosure and hungry.
