Accountability: WSU students will be fined for bad behavior
PULLMAN, Wash. — Any Washington State University student caught trespassing, damaging property or drinking under age can expect to pay a $100 fine.
The Office of Student Standards and Accountability says the fine will apply to any violation of the school's standards of conduct. Previously, only students who broke drug or alcohol rules were fined.
The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports the office expects to collect more than $10,000 a year.

Toothpaste without SLS or zero sodium lauryl sulfate is the best option for your tooth where now many people already know the negative effects of SLS then you should be careful when buying toothpaste. When choosing it, you should identify the materials contained therein.
Toothpastes contain abrasives to remove food residue, bacteria and plaque. Usually the material is calcium carbonate and silicate.
- Materials flavor enhancer.
Usually toothpastes use artificial sweeteners or saccharin to provide a wide range of tastes. For example mint, strawberry, cinnamon, bubble gum flavor even for kids.
- Humectants
humectants are a water-absorbent material from the air and retain moisture. For example: glycerin, alpha hydroxyl acids (ahas), and lactic acid. This material is used to keep toothpaste moist fixed
- Detergents
foam that appears when you brush your teeth is a form of sodium lauryl sulfate detergents.
Read SLS free toothpaste list if you want to know some products that do not use SLS.various studies have shown that SLS can cause irritation of the skin. The most widely experienced after using the toothpaste is the canker sores. Already many people complain about it. So, it is evident that the SLS is very dangerous for us. But why still many toothpastes manufacturers produce it?
In addition to toothpaste, SLS also exist in other products. Shampoo is one item that contains SLS. This is very dangerous for the health of your hair and scalp. SLS should not be used in health products.
If your toothpaste produces much foam, you should immediately see the product's ingredients. SLS function to produce foam. So, if you think that good toothpastes are toothpaste that produces lots of foam, it is wrong. But if you still want to use it you must use it with little capacity. 2 mm is enough to clean your teeth. SLS is harmful if swallowed. If you have a baby you must be careful when buying toothpaste. At that age, babies like to eat anything, so the toothpaste that you have to choose toothpaste without SLSfor your baby.
Well, we must be smart in selecting health products in this modern era. This is so as not to disrupt your health and your family. Well, it's just a bias I share with you. I hope this article toothpaste without SLS is useful for you.

A federal judge says Mississippi's only abortion clinic can remain open as it tries to comply with a new abortion clinic regulation.
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III gave the clinic and the
state each a partial victory with his ruling Friday. He upheld the
law but said the clinic can't face criminal or civil punishment as
it tries to meet the requirements.
The law requires anyone who does abortions at the clinic to be
an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital.
The clinic's two out-of-state physicians don't have those
privileges and have had difficulty getting them from local
The judge says whether they get those privileges will impact the
ultimate issues in the case.

Everyone keeps telling you to let go of your relationship and move on. How can this possibly make you feel better when your Ex is the only thing that matters to you? If you are hurting as much as I imagine you are you need to do something to help your self; you need to get control of your emotions before you can start to feel better. Only once you have passed the "Roller Coaster" stage can you start to think straight and see things as they really are.
So how do you get past the immediate shock and pain of a break up? You simply have to make the decision everyone is advising you to make; i.e. let go and move on. This is probably the exact opposite to what your emotions are telling you; more than likely you feel going back is the only way to make you feel whole again. Let's look at this logically for a moment before continuing; I'm going to make a few assumptions here, only you know if they are true.
I could go on but I'm sure one, if not all of the above apply to your situation. So what's my point? There is no solace in going back and there is no happiness to be found at this juncture in talking to your Ex about your relationship. The only way you are going to start to recover is to come to the painful realisation that your relationship is over for now. Why do I say for now? No one knows what lies in the future, you and your Ex may rekindle your love at some later stage but for now you need to become whole again. You need to close this chapter of your life and look forward with excitement to your new future. You are where you are, accept it and move on. You will also be much more attractive once you get your self confidence back. Give it a go; it works. Let go.
If you are suffering from heartache due to a relationship break up you might find some comfort and advice at my blog http://healmybrokenheart.brighterplanet.org/
When relationships end, people may feel though their hearts are broken. The end of the first few relationships in life comes with extraordinary pain that appears unbearable and endless.

A Quote by Orson Scott Card on books, danger, failure, justice, and pain
The danger that keeps me just a little frightened with every book I write, however, is that I'll overreach myself once too often and try to write a story that I'm just plain not talented or skilful enough to write. That's the dilemma every storyteller faces. It is painful to fail. But it is far sadder when a storyteller stops wanting to try.

You know the ad –
Harper working alone athis desk
Sitting alone in his room
at his desk, working on his sums, with a pencil,
as if he was doing income tax.
Or maybe calculating the government deficit.
Cetainly no cabaret!
It was only on the air a few times
and then it went back into the can
to be saved for the election campaign.
Focus groups said "dump the ad." There is something wrong with a guy with a finger-twitch who sits alone at his desk all night writing at his desk.
Someone called it "the miser doing accounts by candle-light."
"Did his wife throw him out?" asked another.
In Quebec they called it "Seraphin Poudrier."
Self-destructive ads like that you pull. Better to go back to the soft and fuzzy ads of Stephen Harper in a blue wool sweater playing with his cat.
"Meow! Oh, what a nice man!"
The Harper "Night-Owl" ad could have been worse. A little Puffin bird could have flown over Harper's head and pooped down on him.
That has happened before in election ads.
The Conservatives also pulled a negative attack ad featuring Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff looking like a fool and yelling, "Yes, Yes, Yes" into the camera.
Call it his Howard Dean moment.
The Liberals said the ads quoted Ignatieff out of context.
It was more than that. It was a doctored news clip from a Liberal caucus meeting.
Ignatieff had been answering three rhetorical questions:
"Are we ready to serve the people who put us here?
Are we ready to fight for the Canada we love?
Are we ready to fight for the Canadian family?"
And then he shouted: "Yes, Yes, Yes, Oui!"
It was a perfectly reasonable thing for a politician to shout. Stephen Harper himself could lay claim to the same aspirations.
The Conservatives sliced out the "Yes, Yes, Yes, Oui! " part and tacked it on after a rhetorical question they invented as to whether Ignatieff wants an election.
As if wanting an election after five years of tolerating Harper would be so bad.
Pulling an ad is better than getting caught telling an untruth.
So it was pulled. That was the right thing to do, before the Liberals incorporated the Conservative ad into a "Harper-doesn't-tell-the-truth" ad.
Usually negative ads work. Provided they are done right.
The "shouting Iggy" ad could be reworked with a voice-over asking: "Does this man sound credible to you?"
"Yes" might not be everyone's answer.
Ignatieff kept saying throughout the fall that his party wouldn't be doing negative ads. No way he would stoop to Harper's level.
But would his party resist using the famous clip of Harper wearing his Brokeback Mountain cowboy outfit at the Calgary Stampede?

Container Gardening Inspiration: Edible Nasturtiums
They are easy to grow, and then come in all sorts of varieties for different spaces. Some varieties are low and creeping — just right for a small pot. Others will climb up a trellis or wire; I am planting one variety that is supposed to grow 6-8 feet in the summer! I am going to plant it in windowboxes hanging on the back deck and train the vines up nylon cord to create a summer privacy screen.
These hardy litte flowers don't need much attention; they actually bloom better when they are not well fertilized. They don't like too much heat or drought, but other than that, they are quite easy.
Are you putting any edible flowers in your garden this year?

At WTA Memphis, British number one Heather Watson - seeded fourth for the tournament - battled through a topsy turvy match against Andrea Hlavackova, winning 2-6 6-0 6-3.
In Dubai seven of the world's top 12 remain in the draw, but the tournament has been shorn of its two top names, with Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka pulling out on Tuesday because of a foot injury.
World number one Williams said she had been struggling for several weeks with the back injury and is targeting a return at next month's Miami Open after pulling out of her Dubai second-round match just before she was due to play.
Earlier, world number four Radwanska beat teenager Putintseva 7-5 6-3 despite losing three of her first four service games. The Pole had a bye into the second round.
"For me, the first match is always a bit tricky," said Radwanska, 23.
"I didn't hit on the centre court here this year, and I was just practising outside - it was actually much faster. I was surprised - the ball is just not going anywhere."
Toiling at 4-3 down, Radwanska came to the net more often to force Putintseva, ranked 101 in the world, on to the back foot.
The Kazakh, who beat Britain's Laura Robson in an all-teenage first-round battle, prefers brute force over finesse and although a fast hitter, she consistently played the ball too short, allowing Radwanska to stay in rallies with relative ease.
Radwanska, the top remaining seed, was too out of sorts to fully exploit her opponent's shortcomings but as the overcast sky gave way to a muggy desert sun she also upped the playing temperature on court and took control of the match.
She will have to improve to defeat her next opponent, Czech Petra Kvitova, who beat former world number one Ana Ivanovic 7-5 7-6.
The 24-year-old-Serb started with a 4-1 winning record against the 2011 Wimbledon champion, but three of those victories came in 2008-9 when Ivanovic appeared poised to become the new force in the women's game.
She has sunk down the rankings since, although showed enough of her undoubted talent to trouble the world number eight in Dubai.
Ivanovic battled back from 5-1 down in the first set to square the match at 5-5, saving three set points along the way, but just when she appeared in the ascendancy, Kvitova broke again and eventually converted a fourth set point.
Ivanovic sparkled in patches and was defter in her touch, but ultimately could not cope with the relentless power of the 22-year-old's brutal baseline play.
"She's a clean striker of the ball, it's hard to pick where she's going to go - you sort of have to commit to one side," said Ivanovic. "She served big when she needed it."
Another former world number one, Caroline Wozniacki, routed China's Jie Zheng 6-0 6-1 to earn a quarter-final showdown with France's Marion Bartoli, who had been due to play Williams.
Samantha Stosur - a 6-4 6-0 winner against Taiwan's Su-Wei Hsieh - will play Italy's Roberta Vinci, who ousted German Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-1.

Book of Genesis
Book of Genesis Chapter 6:1-4 Summary
The Nephilim or Giants
- Boy would Noah have a killer college admissions essay.
- We all know the story of the flood, but sometimes we overlook the little prequel.
- Ready? Go. The "sons of God" think that human females are hot tickets. We've been suspecting that God's not alone (remember the plurals of 1:26 and 3:22), and now other divine beings play an active role in the story.
- Take a time out to join us in recognizing that some of these archaic strands within the Hebrew Bible reveal a degree of—big word alert!—"polytheism," that is, the acceptance of several deities, opposed to "monotheism" or the affirmation that God is singular.
- So these sons of God start marrying these ladies. Greek myth is full of gods like Zeus who fall in love with mortal women, so this isn't out of the ordinary.
- In response, God decides to limit the lifespan of mortals to a mere 120 years. Here again the Hebrew is back to God's nickname YHWH (the Lord).
- The gods make it with their mortal brides, and they give birth to the "Nephilim" (6:4 NRSV), who are part-divine beings who walked the earth in pre-flood times. Nephilim is more or less a straight transliteration of the Hebrew word, which literally means "fallen" (without the connotations of the Christian concept of "the fall").
- In a vestige of ancient Hebrew myth, the narrator simply says of these fellows that they "were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown" (6:4 NRSV).

A wall post complaining about the cost and quality of an Odeon cinema experience that appeared on the official Odeon Facebook Page on Friday has generated an astonishing 122,468 Likes and 10,408 comments. To make matters worse, the complaint has come on the UK summer bank holiday when the Odeon's social media team appear to have been "on holiday" and have not responded to the complaint.
The disgruntled cinema-goer left a 466 word complaint entitled "Dear Odeon" and criticised the cinema company for overpriced tickets, food and drink, lazy customer service at the refreshments kiosk and their movie being disrupted by the cinema screen next them showing The Dark Knight Rises (the films booming sound effects being audible through the walls). To round of his complaint, the Facebook user scoffed at the anti-piracy notice shown at the beginning of the film promising that the cinema experience was considerably better than a pirated download.
It follows the complaint last week about a woman being charged €300 to print out boarding passes for a Ryanair flight. That generated more than 350,000 Likes on the Ryanair Facebook Page, thousands of comments, and received national media coverage.
It is likely that the Odeon saga may go the same way. This comes as a stark reminder that poor customer service and social media can be a deadly concoction for brands if not dealt with properly. You don't need to be a fan of the Odeon Facebook Page in order for the complaint to appear on your newsfeed, merely you just need a friend to 'Like' or 'Share' for it to appear. As such, the complaint went viral over the weekend and a lack of response from Odeon only spurred on more Facebook users to vent.
In May it was revealed that 18 million UK consumers used social media as a customer service channel and 65% prefer it to the traditional call center – this is expected to rise. Whilst it is unfortunate for Odeon to be caught on the bank holiday, it doesn't really stick as an excuse. Brands of Odeon's size cannot continue to treat social media as a 9-5 weekday channel, it needs to be constantly monitored, measured and responded to if they are to catch any early signs of a social media crisis. Crisis management plans need to be in place before any such crises happen in order to ensure a quick response time and avoid confusion among staff around who should be doing what.
Brands cannot simply pick and choose which complaints they want to deal with and when such complaints go viral and escalate, they need to ensure they are being clearly seen to be dealing with it.

...an excerpt from kaiserswest...."Our Church is universal, and made up of unique cultures, each one diverse and equal. And each time an Apostle established a Church, it was established where they preached and where they were. What they did not do was change the cultural norms in the places where they established the Church. The beliefs are the same, but they were practiced in ways the local Church understood. One is not better than the other. They are different. We love our universal our Church is… Christianity is in itself a universal faith. If you wear a cross around your neck anywhere in the world, you are communicating your faith to others without saying a word. In the world of the Egyptian Coptic Christians, because there was such persecution, they took to having a small cross tattooed on their inner right wrists. It is a practice they still have, delineating themselves from other faiths in a very diverse culture. Even today, in the USA, Coptic Christians will be given a cross tattoo on their wrists, to let everyone know their faith. They speak volumes without saying a word.

SAD TO SAY, there are sincere believers who come to confession because they feel it is easier to repent before God than it is to apologize to people they have hurt! After all, God always forgives and the priest doesn't try to make you feel embarrassed.
On the contrary, a sincerely repentant encounter with Christ, whether in confession or in the Eucharist, assumes that penitents have already repented to those whom they have offended. There is no greater sign of the authenticity of a person's repentance than the willingness to do something concrete about it. Similarly there is no greater sign that a "penitent" is deceiving himself when he tries to apologize to God while avoiding the person he offended.

VIENNA - Vienna City Council members listened to outside agencies in a special meeting Thursday.
City Finance Director Steve Black said because of the efforts of Mayor Randy Rapp council members heard from 10 agencies on funding they receive from Vienna.
Appearing before council were representatives from the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council, the Wood County Senior Citizens, the Greater Parkersburg Visitors and Convention Bureau, River City Runners and Walkers Club, Vienna Public Library, Vienna Senior Citizens, The Area Roundtable, Artsbridge, the Parkersburg Humane Society and the Family Crisis Intervention Center.

City recorder Cathy Smith, left, and Councilman Roger Bibbee listen to the city's outside agencies at a special meeting at the Vienna City Building Thursday.
Each presenter was given about 10 minutes to discuss how the group uses the money given by the city.
Fred Rader of the MOVRC explained its goals in using the $3,431 allocated as well as the $4,005 for the Wood-Washington-Wirt Interstate Planning Commission.
Rader said the agency uses the local money to match federal funding.
"We have a variety of programs, including foster grandparent and senior companion," Rader said.
Mike Dennis with the Wood County Senior Citizens spoke of the $4,300 used to match federal funds.
"I'm sure most of you are familiar (with us); we do a lot of things in Wood County, Vienna, Williamstown and Parkersburg," he said. "One of our biggest programs is providing in-home care to seniors in Wood County."
Mark Lewis with the Greater Parkersburg Visitors and Convention Bureau said the organization has been tracking tournaments and ways to bring groups into the area.
"I think that's a very important part of what we do," he said about bringing high school and college tournaments to Wood County.
Lou Molinaro with the River City Runners and Walkers Club said the police department and fire department help with the Vienna race and the city provides some funding.
Alice Thomas, director of the Vienna Public Library, said the library operates with $300,045 given by the city from tax revenue. She said other funds are provided through grants, the state and donations.
Ida Mae Blair, new president of the Vienna Senior Center, spoke on behalf of the Vienna Senior Citizens. She said the city helps with operations at the facility as well as trips. In the past, the senior citizens group has received about $1,500.
Cam Huffman, of the Area Roundtable, said the city provides $5,000 to the organization for its projects.
Mark Lanyon, director of Artsbridge, spoke of the $1,000 the group uses for special projects.
Emily Larkins, executive director of the FCIC Parkersburg Domestic Violence Shelter, spoke of a new initiative called the Kids First Program. Larkins was requesting $7,000 for the new program geared toward providing children in the shelter with access to parent interaction.
Maryann Hollis, of the humane society, spoke about the services it provides and the need for the $31,000 given to the organization last year.
"We provide services including care, housing, animal control and shelter," she said.

Indiana University freshman Julian Batts seemed to be on a roll on his appearance on "Wheel of Fortune," until a series of unfortunate answers torpedoed his chance for a car, a trip to Jamaica and a shot at million dollars.
Batts filled in the letters to practically solve the puzzle "Mythological Hero Achilles," but he mispronounced the hero's name, saying instead: "A-chill-is."
It cost him potentially $1 million.
In an interview with "Good Morning America," Batts explained what was going through his mind when he realized what had slipped through his fingers in the episode, which aired Friday during the show's College Week.
"It just kind of hit me like a train and I really didn't know how to react to it – the game continued on and [another contestant from] Texas A&M, she solved it and it hit me right then and there that it was Achilles," he said. "I didn't feel like I made a mistake but I feel like I solved the puzzle entirely and all I had to do was read it and I just went for it and I did my best."
In a statement to ABC News, "Wheel of Fortune" said: "When a contestant tries to solve a puzzle, they must pronounce it using the generally accepted pronunciation."
His misfortune wasn't over. In the Person category, with just one letter missing from the phrase "The World's Fastest _a_," Batts chose a letter "C." There was no "C."
Another contestant solved correctly: "The World's Fastest Man."
And in another puzzle-solving misstep, Batts said, "On the Spot Dice Spin" instead of 'On the Spot Decision."
Even though Batts went on to win the game, his major mistakes cost him big money.
"I don't think anyone has ever taken a more circuitous route to victory, but the important thing is you're here and you've got $11,700 dollars and we're pleased about that," the show's host, Pat Sajak, said during the episode.
So how does Batts feel about the experience?
"It was a dream and it was one of the greatest experiences I've accomplished so far," he said.
Batts isn't the first "Wheel" contestant to have lost at a potential prize over the pronunciation of a word.
Paul Atkinson was on the way last year to living the dream: the "Wheel of Fortune" contestant had landed on the million-dollar wedge, which would have put him one spin closer to the coveted prize.
All he had to do was solve the clue, and there was only one letter missing from the three-word phrase, "Corner Curio Cabinet."
Atkinson had never before seen the word "Curio," and he mispronounced it. When he read the phrase, it came out sounding more like "Corno Curro Cabinet," and the answer was not accepted.
In another instance of a pronunciation frustrating a player's success, contestant Renee Durette was on a roll toward thousands of dollars on the game show in her 2012 appearance. She had the winning answer to the word puzzle "Seven Swans a Swimming," or so she thought.
Durette, a Navy intelligence specialist from Merritt Island, Fla., dropped the "g," pronouncing "swimming" as "swimmin'."
Host Pat Sajak had to backtrack and said he couldn't accept her answer, costing her the $3,850 she had accumulated.
Judges said the answer violated the rules because it was spoken in vernacular.
The decision sparked outrage on Twitter and even the other contestant who was handed the win couldn't believe it.

There are many reasons a person might choose to study religion, and many reasons why a person might choose to study philosophy.
For some though, these two subjects go hand-in-hand. They see religion and philosopy as being so deeply intertwined, that there seems to be little purpose in studying one without studying the other.
For those who want to clarify their own religious faith, those who want to explore the fundamental questions of human existence, or those who want to contemplate the roles of faith and reason in human experience, the study of religion and philosophy together may, in fact, help them find the understanding they are searching for.
Are you one of the people who thinks about faith and human existence? Then just maybe, with the Ozarks Religion and Philosophy program, you've found a place where you can continue your own search for understanding. You'll be encouraged to look inward - to think about the role faith plays in your own life. But you'll also learn to think critically about the deeper meanings to be found in the works of others, and in the process, gain a richer understanding of what it means to be "human."
Seek, and ye shall find.

Philippine President Benigno Aquino III has announced an $8.3 billion flood control plan for the nation, promising a "permanent solution" to the ongoing challenges. The plan calls for the construction of water impounding structures and catch basins, and will take years to complete. The effort is not without its critics; some express doubt that the resources will be available, as well as concern for the hundreds of thousands of people–many of them informal settlers along the waterways–who will be displaced by the 11 related infrastructure projects.
Torrential rains aggravated by typhoons hit the Philippines again this year, submerging 80 percent of Manila in early August. More than 2.4 million people have been affected by the multiple days of rain, and about 362,300 people evacuated. According to the government, another 284,200 people are staying with relatives and friends. Sixty people have died while others remain missing; so far, the government has lead the relief operation and has not requested international aid.

Definition of C2 (cervical vertebra)
C2 (cervical vertebra): C2 is the symbol for the second cervical vertebra, which is also called the axis. It is so-named because the uppermost cervical vertebra (called the atlas) rotates about the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra. The joint between the axis and atlas is a pivot type of joint. It allows the head turn.
The Latin word "axis" means axle or pole. The axis bone serves as the axle about which the atlas (and the head) turn.

About Blandford
Helpful Resources
Blandford is situated in the eastern foothills of the Green Mountains and is criss-crossed by streams. It is a rural hill town on the historic western corridor between Connecticut and the Housatonic Valley and is on an early route of travel from Springfield to Albany. This was an important military highway from New York during the revolution as is testified by the number of taverns that were recorded on the post road servicing travellers.
The town was originally cut up into lots and sold to Scotch-Irish Presbyterians who immigrated from Hopkinton and created an agricultural and grazing based economy. There were some early tanneries, paper and cardboard mills, but the major emphasis in the 19th century was dairy farming. Blandford led the county in cheese production in 1845 and then again 1870 and despite becoming a favored summer resort for Springfield and Westfield families, has remained in modern times a community of dairy farms and orchards.
The town has retained a cluster of notable buildings in the center, including a handsome Greek revival church, and residents are proud of the historic character of the center. Development pressures in modern times come from those creating recreational or suburban homes.
Blandford is located near the eastern edge of the Berkshire Hills, above an ancient rift zone where the Connecticut River Valley is downfaulted about one thousand feet (300 m). The town's elevations range from about 400 feet (120 m) along streams approaching the Westfield River (a major tributary of the Connecticut) to hilltops as high as 1700 feet (500 m). Elevations increase to the west with expansive views eastward across the Connecticut River Valley as far as Mount Monadnock in southern New Hampshire. Local relief is as high as 500 feet (150 m) near streams flowing into the Westfield River, but away from these streams the town is characterised by rolling uplands.
Abandoned fields and pastures have reverted to forests of beech, birch, maple, hemlock, pine and oak. Land reserved for woodlots and never cleared was repeatedly logged, however logging has fallen off in recent decades so forests are reclaiming some old growth qualities and animal species that have been absent or rare for some 200 years are returning.
Blandford has significant water resources in its streams and ponds. The city of Springfield has reserved the upper watershed of the Little River, a tributary of the Westfield as the city's main water supply, Cobble Mountain Reservoir. Many people of this town do know that If you listen quietly on cobble mountain road you can still hear General Knox traveling on his horse to battle through Blandford.

Sarabia Repeats As Steel Challenge Junior Champion
Wednesday, August 24, 2011
PIRU, Calif. - Team Smith & Wesson's 14-year-old shooting phenom, Janae Sarabia of Lompoc, Calif., claimed the Junior title for the second year in a row at the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships in Piru, Calif. for the second year in a row.
Sarabia competed in three events during the three day competition with her top time coming in the Women's Open competition where she once again finished third overall with a time of 114.38 seconds. In the Limited division competition, Sarabia placed fourth with153.73 and in the Open Rimfire Pistol event she finished fifth with 95.62.
Her combined time in all three events, 363.73 seconds, put her fourth in the women's Steel Master competition.

Placing second among the juniors at the Steel Challenge was Joseph Fischer with 132.18 seconds. Third place went to another 14-year-old Team Smith & Wesson shooter, Rachel Crow of Antioch, Calif. who finished with 138.79 seconds in the Open Revolver contest.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships has served as the unofficial proving ground for the latest shooting equipment and determined who within the shooting sports community is truly the fastest of the fast.

"Does the sizing on the chest reflect true measurement or is more like what would be a bra size? If I have a girl that measures a 28 around the rib cage but wears a size 32 bra I am wondering if the 14 would be too snug?"

Question by Jodi R on 11/14/2013 - 9:32 am
""If she wears a size 32 bra, then that is her chest measurement. According to the size chart, you should probably get a size 16 or in this particular brand, you can even try a women's size 4. The 14 in girls does look like it would be too snug, plus she may grow a little more and then it would no longer fit her.""

Podcast: Dissecting the Jobs Report
While the jobs report exceeded incredibly low expectations, just how good were the numbers?
In this week's installment of MoneyBeat Week, our Friday podcast, the crew dissects the April jobs figures, the revisions and what it all means for Wall Street and the Federal Reserve's next move.
"We were expecting such bad things after last month that this month looks fantastic," WSJ's Phil Izzo said on the podcast. "Everyone is sort of jumping for joy, but here's the rub: [That's] not necessarily the right thing to do."
While better-than-expected job growth is a welcome sign, the trend likely hasn't improved enough to make the Fed pullback on its stimulus programs anytime soon. Those reasons are major catalysts for why the Dow and S&P 500 touched above 15000 and 1600, respectively, for the first time ever on Friday.
The question now is just how much longer the Fed will continue with its easy money policies. Earlier this week, the central bank explicitly said it could increase or decrease its bond-buying programs depending on economic conditions.
"I don't think [the jobs report] changes the outlook for the next couple of months," Izzo said. "But it does definitely make the next move more likely to be tapering than increasing."

Eritrea: Spoiler Exacerbates Crisis In The Horn Of Africa And Beyond
By J. Peter Pham, Ph.D.
One of the frustrations with which Africa's friends have had to repeatedly cope over the years has been the seemingly utter incapacity of the African leaders to deal with their more problematic peers: witness the annual African Union (AU) summit's literal embrace of Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe last year on the very morrow of a farcical "reelection" criticized the pan-African organization's own monitors or, with a few honorable exceptions, its circling of the wagons around Sudanese despot Umar Hassan al-Bashir earlier this year after the International Criminal Court indicted him for crimes against humanity and war crimes for his role in the humanitarian disaster in Darfur.
Thus it is even more bitterly disappointing when, on the few rare occasions the continent's leaders do manage to get their act together and turn against one of their own, as they did this year with Eritrea's Isaias Afewerki—whose regime has not only supported a terrorist-led Islamist insurgency in Somalia, but been implicated in numerous efforts to destabilize countries throughout the Horn of Africa—that their efforts have been largely ignored, to the detriment of both the African states immediately bearing the brunt of the assaults from Asmara and the broader security interests of the international community.
To recall, it has been more than two years since I warned in this column space about the danger posed by "the rogue regime in Asmara which, for its own reasons, is fomenting a growing cycle of violence phenomenon that not only threatens the stability of its neighbors, but, because of its support of an al-Qaeda-linked Islamist insurgency, risks opening a broad terrorist front across the entire Horn of Africa."
Earlier this year, after a May emergency summit in Addis Ababa, the Council of Ministers of the subregional Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) issued a statement asserting that "the government of Eritrea and its financiers continue to instigate, finance, recruit, train, fund and supply the criminal elements in and/or to Somalia" and calling on the United Nations Security Council to "impose sanctions on the government of Eritrea without any further delay."
The Peace and Security Council of the African Union concurred, issuing a communiqué expressing its "deep concern at the reports regarding the support provided to these armed groups [in Somalia], through training, provision of weapons and ammunitions and funding, by external actors, including Eritrea, in flagrant violation of the United Nations arms embargo" and likewise asking the Security Council to "impose sanctions against all those foreign actors, both within and outside the region, specially Eritrea, providing support to the armed groups engaged in destabilization activities in Somalia, attacks against the TFG, the civilian population and AMISOM, as well as against all the Somali individuals and entities working towards undermining the peace and reconciliation efforts and regional stability."
Even the usually weak AU did not equivocate this time. In July, at the AU's 13th annual Summit of Heads of State and Government, hosted this year by Libya's Mu'ammar Qadhafi at his hometown of Sirte, issued adecision pleading with the Security Council "to take immediate measures, including the imposition of a no-fly zone and blockade of sea ports, to prevent the entry of foreign elements into Somalia, as well as flights and shipments carrying weapons and ammunitions to armed groups inside Somalia which are carrying out attacks against [the Transitional Federal Government, TFG], the civilian population and [the African Union Mission in Somalia, AMISOM], and also to impose sanctions against all those foreign actors, both within and outside the region, especially Eritrea, providing support to the armed groups engaged in destabilization activities in Somalia, attacks against the TFG, the civilian population and AMISOM, as well as against the Somali individuals and entities working towards undermining the peace and reconciliation efforts and regional stability." Even more remarkably, the call for sanctions was virtually unanimous, with only Eritrea opposing the measure (whatever few friends Eritrea had in Africa evidently could no longer justify its continual intervention in Somali affairs since the withdrawal earlier this year of Ethiopian forces deprived Asmara of any Realpolitik justification of opposing a rival).
While, for the moment, the ongoing conflict in southern and central Somalia is perhaps the most urgent crisis in which Eritrea's meddling has worsened the situation, it is by no means the only one in the subregion being stoked by Isaias Afewerki (for a sample of the Maoist-trained former guerrilla leader's mindset, see the transcript released last month of a July interview with him conducted by Barney Jopson of the Financial Times; Jopson's observations during and reflections about his journey to Asmara are also worth studying). In April 2008, Eritrean troops crossed the border into Djibouti and fortified positions near Ras Doumeira on the Red Sea. Two months later, Djiboutian forces came under fire from the Eritreans, sparking a brief conflict during which Djibouti received logistical support and intelligence from its former colonial power, France, which maintains a not insignificant military presence in the country as does the U.S. Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), based at Camp Lemonier.
An ultimatum from the UN Security Council, contained in Resolution 1862, passed in January of this year, gave Eritrea five weeks to withdraw its forces. Unfortunately, as the AU noted with "grave concern" in July, the deadline came and went with a "total absence of progress regarding the implementation by Eritrea of the successive decisions taken at the 11th and 12th Ordinary Sessions of the Assembly, held respectively in July 2008 and February 2009, as well as resolution 1862 of the UN Security Council regarding the border dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea."
Of course, it should come as no surprise that Isaias Afewerki was willing to pick a fight with Djibouti, a tiny statelet the size of Massachusetts with a population of barely half a million. Just a decade ago, he was just as prepared to commence hostilities with Ethiopia, a country whose population of 85 million is fifteen times the size of Eritrea's and with a GDP is at least twenty times larger. The resulting two-year war—which an international panel at the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague ruled in a 2005 decision to have been due to Eritrea's violation of international law by "by resorting to armed force on May 12, 1998 and the immediately following days to attack and occupy the town of Badme, then under peaceful administration" by Ethiopia—left at least 100,000 dead and cost untold billions of dollars in damages.
Regrettably, it is not only that repeated appeals from African regional organizations have not only fallen on deaf ears, but there seems to be evidence that of a willful refusal to face the reality of the situation. Two weeks ago, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon submitted to the Security Council the semi-annual report on Somalia that he has been tasked with preparing.
Astoundingly, in a twenty-page document that is supposed to access the Somalia's political and security situation, Eritrea is mentioned only once and then only to report without comment U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's August 6 admonishment that "with respect to Eritrea we are making it very clear that their actions are unacceptable their interference with the rights of the Somali people to determine their own future are the height of misplaced efforts and funding and we intend to take action if they do not cease." The UN chief devoted more space in the document to expressing concern about illegal exports of livestock and charcoal from Somalia and bemoaning human and drug smuggling. No wonder on astute observer, Jacob Heilbrunn, in a hard-hitting analysis in the July/August issue of Foreign Policy, characterized Ban as "nowhere man," "the world's most dangerous Korean," and "a dilettante on the international stage," noting that, even in the undistinguished company of his immediately predecessors, Ban "appears to have set the standard for failure."
Not surprisingly, with this type of "leadership," the UN has yet to sanction the Asmara regime, notwithstanding efforts to move toward sanctions like those made last week by the British permanent representative, Ambassador Sir John Sawyers, and the U.S. alternate representative for special political affairs, Ambassador Rosemary DiCarlo, who told her Security Council colleagues that "it is time for the international community to consider ways to address Eritrea's destabilizing impact on Somalia and the region."
Interestingly, it seems Eritrea's own diplomats have apparently given up trying to defend their master's troublemaking. During his recent appearance at the opening of the 64th session of the UN General Assembly in New York last month, Eritrean Foreign Minister Osman Saleh avoided any discussion of regional issues, devoting his entire address to histrionic denunciations of the "prevailing world order" and the "culture of 'politics of fear' and 'management by crisis'" and criticisms of the United Nations as unable to "realistically cope with the exigencies of the 21st century."
On the other hand, to be fair to Ban and the UN, others are likewise guilty of burying their heads in the sand. In June, Representative Ed Royce, a California Republican who chaired the House Africa Subcommittee for eight years and is currently the ranking member on the Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade Subcommittee, offered an amendment to the foreign operations bill that would urge the Secretary of State to declare Eritrea a "state sponsor of terrorism" on account of the country's well-documented record in the matter in general and, more specifically, its support for al-Shabaab ("the youth"), an al-Qaeda-linked Somali group that was already formally designated a "foreign terrorist organization" by the U.S. Department of State last year.
As the congressman noted in his foreign policy blog, the proposal was rejected on a party-line vote of 245 to 183, with some of its opponents defending their stance by arguing that "Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki sent a letter to President Obama expressing the desire to engage on these issues" (!). The majority thus chose to ignore the May Senate testimony of Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson that "we have clear evidence that Eritrea is supporting these extremist elements, including credible reports that the Government of Eritrea continues to supply weapons and munitions to extremists and terrorist elements" including al-Shabaab and the Hisbul Islam ("Islamic party") group of Sheikh Hassan Dahir 'Aweys, a figure who appears personally on both United States and United Nations antiterrorism sanctions lists and who was based in Asmara from January 2007 until April of this year when he returned to Somalia to carry on the fight to turn the country into a militant Islamist state (for a look back at Eritrea's sponsorship of 'Awey's activities, see my report two years ago on the establishment of the insurgent alliance in the Eritrean capital).
Nor is it the case that the charges of Eritrean support for Islamist extremists in Somalia is merely American propaganda, as the regime in Asmara and its dwindling band of apologists have been wont to claim. The most recent report of the UN Security Council's Monitoring Group and Panel of Experts on Somalia was especially damning in its detailed chronicling of Eritrea's critical role in enabling the insurgency:
The Eritrean Government continues to provide financial support to ARS/Asmara, to deliver occasional consignments of weapons to its forces and their allies inside Somalia, and to provide Eritrean travel documents for some of its senior leaders. At the same time, the Eritrean Government has begun to develop linkages with a more diverse array of armed groups inside Somalia.
The Monitoring Group has received numerous credible reports from governmental sources and Somali eyewitnesses that Eritrea provides military training to armed Somali opposition groups ...
The Monitoring Group has continued to receive information indicating that deliveries of arms and ammunition by small boat, originating in Eritrea, continue to occur on a fairly regular basis. A far greater proportion of Eritrean assistance, however, now takes the form of contributions in cash or kind. The purpose of the new emphasis on cash contributions is not only to arm the opposition, but to also disarm Transitional Federal Government and Ethiopian forces by enticing them to sell their weapons, ammunitions and uniforms, or to defect entirely ...
According to multiple sources, some with first-hand knowledge of the procedure, cash is either made available from an Eritrean embassy bank account in one of these locations or hand-carried by courier from Asmara to the destination. The cash may then be sent in small amounts via Western Union or Somali hawala agencies to Somalia. Increasingly, cash is handed over to sympathetic businessmen, who use it to procure foodstuffs, second-hand clothing or electronic goods for export to Somalia. Once in Somalia, the goods are then resold to finance the armed struggle.
The Monitoring Group believes that Eritrean arms embargo violations take place with the knowledge and authorization of senior officials within the Eritrean Government and the ruling People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ). Operational responsibility, however, lies with the Eritrean intelligence services.
(Of course, Eritrea denies all of this. In fact, the Ministry of Information in Asmara recently even put out a statement shamelessly advocating "an end all the foreign interferences in Somalia" and declaring that "the sole solution ... is to respect the wishes of the Somali people, and withdraw and stop any foreign involvement in Somalia.")
If Eritrea's support of the insurgency in Somalia were not bad enough from the point of view of the United States and other countries with interests in the Horn of Africa, there is also the worrisome evolution of Asmara's relations with another pariah state with longstanding ties to international terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Iran. Last year, at about the same time he was drawing opprobrium for his aggression against the neighboring Djibouti, Eritrea's Isaias Afewerki signed a series of trade and investment deals with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. These May 2008 accords were followed by an October 2008 memorandum of understanding to boost cultural, scientific, and educational exchanges cooperation between Asmara and Tehran. The relationship quickly became something of a whirlwind romance, its intensity quickly ratcheting up. On May 6, 2009, Radio France Internationale (RFI) published a report that, since last December, Iranian Revolutionary Guard units had been secretly deployed to the Eritrea port of Assab where they were strategically positioned astride the vital Bab-el-Mandab straits—2-mile-wide Bab Iskender and 16-mile-wide Dact-el-Mayun, connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden—through which nearly 10 percent of the world's maritime commerce passes each day. RFI's Olivier Rogez suggested that an anti-Western regional alliance of Eritrea, Iran, and Sudan was emerging "whose sole logic is to counter internal destabilization, real or imagined, by the major Western powers." While a spokesman for the Eritrean regime denied the report, barely two weeks later Isaias Afewerki was calling on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the Iranian capital and the Tehran Times, the mullahs' English-language mouthpiece, was headlined "No Limit for Iran-Eritrea Cooperation: President."
Beyond the direct consequences of continued failure to deal with the multiple challenges presented by the Eritrean regime, one must consider the wider implications of the international community not responding to what have been rather unprecedented appeals from the subregional grouping of states as well as the African Union as a whole. At the very least, the United States and the other permanent members of the Security Council have to be perceived as giving serious consideration to the sanctions request lest an unintended "chilling effect" discourage African leaders from again assuming the initiative in reining in other spoilers among their homologues and taking ownership of the management of security and stability on the continent.
One month ago, I warned here that "the situation across the territory of the onetime Somali Democratic Republic remains precarious, continuing to pose a threat not only to Somalis and their neighbors, but to international security as a whole." That assessment remains unchanged, especially when one notes incidents like the threats made just this week by al-Shabaab to launch attacks against Kenya and the arrest on Monday by Kenyan authorities of yet another U.S. citizen of Somali descent trying to make his way to join the extremists in southern Somalia. While the root causes of Somalia's problems are internal—the fact that the current head of the TFG, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed has been outside the country for a month (last week he was touring Somali diaspora communities in Minnesota, Illinois, and Ohio) hardly helps with expanding governance on the ground, although one would be hard-pressed to blame the man for preferring a Midwestern idyll to war-ravaged Mogadishu—external meddling has certainly fueled the conflict. Isaias Afewerki effectively wagered that he could stoke the fires of Islamist extremism and yet maintain control of the flames, which he hoped to direct at his longtime Ethiopian rival, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. Before the entire neighborhood and areas beyond are consumed in the conflagration unleashed by the increasingly erratic Eritrean despot, the international community needs to demonstrate in no uncertain terms that his dangerous gamble is a sure loser.

Turning Point Technology
TurningPoint audience response system allows audiences and students to participate in presentations or lectures by submitting responses to interactive questions using ResponseCard keypads, nicknamed "Clickers".
The TurningPoint system works with PowerPoint to add interactive features such as quizzes, polls, and surveys into presentations. Students respond to the instructor's multiple choice questions using the Clickers. Then, TurningPoint gathers responses from each participant and quickly translates them into measurable results in the form of test scores, charts, and graphs.
The system gives instructors immediate feedback on whether or not students are grasping the concepts being presented, so instruction can be adjusted accordingly. TurningPoint also allows you store the data for archiving or for use in future course planning.
The use of Clickers may also help students focus on lecture content by engaging them in a two-way interaction as opposed to the one-way format of a traditional lecture.
