While most of Christendom is in the midst of the Lent and are preparing for Easter, I cannot help feeling like I am missing out on something.
No, I am not going soft on my Presbyterianism, the regulative principle, ect… but I do find something attractive about the traditional church calendar. I love the Lord's Day, but I do tire of only getting to enjoy feast days marked by secular standards.
More to the point, I wonder if we are missing out on something that causes our tradition to be less rooted, less organic, and, well, less human. Less human? Just so. The Genesis account tells us that God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for sings and for seasons, and for days and for years…" (Genesis 1:14). What did God mean by setting the sun, the moon, and the stars for signs and seasons? Judging by the the way Israel's agrarian feasts and their cult feasts melded together, I am tempted to think that God's creation, with its rhythmic cadence of seasons as they point us from new life, to death, to resurrection are to be embraced, not only as weather patterns but as spiritual guideposts. The more man, as a creature, is alienated from a sense of unity with the rest of the creation, the less human he becomes.
The ancients knew this to be true. Farmers know this to be true. Protestant farmers may be safe but what about what about the suburbanite Presbyterian professor? Has he lost something from his life that makes him, I fear, less human.
Besides, on a more frivolous aside, I wonder… do those who eat Christmas cookies from November 25 to December 25 really taste the joy of Christmas morning? Do those who eat sweetbreads and chocolate in March really know the exuberance of easter morning?
Are those without a church calender more vulnerable to the ravishes of sterile modernity?
These are questions that tempt me, as our liturgical brethren being tempted by chocolate.

Troy has all the tools to be a good NFL QB (I am finally in the bandwagon)! Check out these videos and it's like Deja Vu - some of his plays looked like I was watching the London game over again!
If there is one guy that could save Sing's coaching career in SF, it's Troy!
Sing will probably offer one of his daughters to him (to marry) come the end of the season if we make the playoffs, LOL! Because Troy is Sing's final salvation in the NFL!

A great plugin that I use on almost all my sites as its so easy to use.
The best contact form I have come across for general use.
Could have more options though, maybe a multiplication on dropdown selections option so people can select something from a dropdown and then click x2 to increase there order... just an example of the kind of extended functionality that would make it a 5 star plugin.

Financial Aid is the most difficult aspect of the enrollment process for me. I am not great with numbers and have difficulty understanding all that is required for loans, scholarships, grants, etc. However, I find that Biola has a very organized and easy-to-understand system for financial aid. There are various step-by-step programs that allow students to be highly involved in their financial aid progress and to understand exactly how much they owe and how to achieve paying for it.This is why I rate the financial aid process higher in spite of my lack of enjoyment of the process.
Since I attend a Christian school, there are rules pertaining to behavioral conduct. We are required to sign a contract that prohibits us from drinking, smoking, etc. However, the goal is to establish virtue. One way that the contract does this (even if one does not agree with it) is that it by signing it, you are giving your word to something. It requires integrity and discipline. To attend this school, it is required to sign the contract. One could attend somewhere else but the contract stipulates conditions for attending Biola University. I don't agree with all of these conditions (e.g. drinking, since I am 28 years old) however it does eliminate certain distractions from study and because it is a valuable education, it is a small price to pay.
I am extremely happy with my program. I would do it all over again because the extensive content of each class makes it so one can gain deeper understanding the more one is immersed in it.My career goals are to be a teacher of Philosophy, Literature, and/or Religion. I do have concerns about finding a job because of how competitive PhD programs are (if I decide to do that).
The Philosophy program at my school is rigorous. The faculty are highly proficient in their fields (e.g. publishing in top philosophical journals) and were trained at the finest universities both domestic and abroad.I enjoy the program for two key reasons. First, as a student, I am receiving rigorous philosophical training. I am learning to think critically and evaluate ideas and interact with culture effectively. Secondly, I am able to learn from the professors' example and observe the way that they view and perform in their academic endeavors.What is unique about my program is that they have a particular view about the value of education--it is not primarily about attaining certain grades or finding a "good job." Rather, it is about becoming a virtuous person and to use your degree and knowledge to benefit others along with yourself.
As an English major in my undergrad and a Philosophy major in the graduate program, I have been able to interact with various professors and students. Biola has incredibly talented professors that are proficient in their respective fields.My last year of my undergraduate degree, I was able to participate in the Honors Grad Track program. I was nominated by a professor and had to complete an application and essay explaining why I wanted to pursue the program (i.e. why I want to teach; why I want to pursue graduate work). I was elected for this program, along with 10 other students.We worked closely with each other, being mentored by a professor. Here, we learned valuable skills for pedagogy and learned how to put together lesson plans and lectures. This experience was valuable in familiarizing me with tools for professorship and gave me a vision to one day be a teacher/professor. It further motivated me to pursue graduate studies.
Biola has a wonderful Physician assistant program. I love a chrisyian based school that focuses on career and the bible.
It is the best cali weather! Warm, hot, cool, windy, rainy!
Off-Campus Housing:
Biola has beautiful apartments off campus and the safety is incredible. The scenary is also intriguing with beautiful nature.
Drinking is strict at my school you automatically get sent to the dean and get a review. It is really serious. So parties are very limited at my school.
i love the challenging work that is given to me and the professors are caring and grateful to work at my school.
The whether can be very odd except in summer and winter. But throughout the year, there have been odd Weather patterns. One day it will be raining and then out of nowhere, it will be very hot.
The professors that I have had have been very engaging and and connect with the students beyond the classroom. They truly have a heart for students to learn and apply their skills to life. When it comes to personal problems or discussions, they are more than happy to have students visit them in their office and talk with them.
I am really satisfied with my program. If I could do it over again, I would have gotten more involved within my first year. There was much I could have done but either was too busy or I never got around to it and I regret that. But I am starting to get more involved with what they major has the offer with jobs and internships. My career goals are to graduate with a BA degree in journalism and either enter into graduate school in New York, D.C., or Boston or get an internship within the Los Angeles area working for a news company. As of right now, I do not have any concerns. The more internships and jobs I get in within the journalism field, it only builds up on my resume which will increase my chances of getting a good job and start on my career.
I received my first internship at the beginning of the second semester with the California School Project. I was their news reporter for the blog site throughout the year covering stories of CSP and their assigned high school Christian Clubs are spreading the Gospel through events.
With my journalism program, english writing is key. Writing never leaves you regardless of emphasis. But the introductory courses helps built up for the harder ones and english general ed courses only help even more. The difficult parts of admissions was keeping track of everything. When it comes to transcripts, application, SAT scores, and finances, it just can be much to handle. But again, Biola helped me along the way with every phone call and visit I made to make sure I had everything complete. A tip for admissions is to continue in the great character they have of helping new and current students because they are doing a great job at it.
Campus Housing:
The community is excellent and you meet so many people.
The process of applying to the Cinema and Media Arts department at Biola was easy, but the difficulty of actually getting in depends on the emphasis that you're applying for. I started out as a Production emphasis, which is the most selective. It does not require a sample of your work, but it is next to impossible to be accepted without one. Likewise, it is suggested that people who want to be in the Screenwriting emphasis submit a sample script. Emphases like Media Management and Off-Hollywood are much easier to get into, as they are very small right now and, therefore, the least competitive.
Located in southern California, the weather is always great throughout the year. mostly sunny around 70-80 degrees, with typical rain or cloudy days.
Drug Safety:
Since Biola is a christian school, drugs are uncommon. There is a great enforcement and prevention against drug use, but unfortunately there may be few to very minimal cases.
Campus Quality:
Biola is considered a small school but it is laid out so you don't feel like you're at a small school. The campus has a lot of trees and plants so the landscaping is pretty. There is a combination of original buildings plus newer buildings which have been added over the years. So there is a combination of different types of architecture. One of my favorite things is the awesome mural of Jesus that has so much Christian symbolism. It is beautiful to look at and calming at the same time. Every time I visited the campus I got such a feeling of family and closeness. God is incorporated in every aspect of school and chapel on Sunday night will be a great way to start my week.
I love being an elementary education major because Biola University really prepares you to become am effective teacher. I get to experience what it is like in an elementary classroom setting, and all of the professors are helpful and truly care for their students. I would highly recommend this major to anyone who has a passion for teaching and impacting children's lives.
The counselors in the education department are very helpful, so you should have no trouble getting into the program. Nevertheless, you must be serious about your major in order to succeed and stay on top of courses and deadlines.
Campus Housing:
Great facilities but dealing with the housing department can be hard
The teachers require a lot out of you but are very friendly and helpful. They are most interested in helping there students become good learners.
The campus safety at Biola is pretty strict when it comes to things like drugs, alcohol, parking, and suspicious behavior. We have had a couple scares in the past with unidentified people coming on campus and stealing so the security here has definitely heightened. The reason for the B+ is because of some actions taken by the campus safety in which they only focus on a certain race because a previous situation identified with that race instead of looking at it as a whole. Otherwise I feel safe while being on campus.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Biola boasts an amazing Christian fellowship that's focused on delivering the Gospel, not only to its students, but to the world surrounding it. In taking classes and attending lectures, students feel much more apt to take on the world, not only with renewed and strengthened faith, but also with a professional education.
Biola can be an adjustment. But once you get involved with on-campus jobs and school events, it becomes much easier. After spending time with the students and faculty, you'll come to realize that you'll never find a school quite like this. But it takes a little bit of work at first. Biola's teaching is amazing, and the community is unparalleled. Nowhere else on Earth can students strike up random conversations with anyone and be able to "Facebook-friend" them and ask them to coffee the very next day. If you value your education and want to surround yourself with God-fearing students serving each other and the Lord, then Biola is the place for you!

A two-car collision in downtown Dothan brings traffic to a near hault this afternoon.
Sergeant Tim Ward with the Dothan Police Department says a black car heading north on Oates Street attempted a left turn on Adams Street and collided with a silver car heading south on Oates Street.
There was traffic in the inside lane blocking view of the driver in the black car.
At this time there are only minor injuries reported and nobody has been transported to a hospital.
Police say you should not attempt a turn unless you can see both lanes of traffic.

Summary of Interests
Whenever a fundamental new principle of science is discovered, the chances are that sooner or later a way will be found to use it for a new technology. The quantum mechanical principles of superposition and entanglement, identified nearly a century ago, are now understood to offer spectacular potential for technological applications. Superposition describes how an object can be in two states at once, as it were "here" and "there" at the same time. Two or more objects in superposition states can be entangled, so that measurements on each of them are correlated in a way that goes beyond anything we would expect from everyday intuition. Exploiting these effects in practical devices would provide new capabilities for fields such as molecular light harvesting and for molecular quantum technologies such as sensors, simulators, and quantum computers.
Successful laboratory experiments have shown that molecules of various kinds can exhibit these crucial quantum properties. Molecules are composed of electrons and atomic cores or "nuclei". Both electrons and nuclei can have a property called spin associated with them that makes them behave like tiny bar magnets. We have confirmed that electron and nuclear spins can be put into superpositions or entangled, and they can last for a long time in that condition. Most of the experiments so far have been in small test tubes. The crucial step now is to implement the same effects in nanometre scale electrical devices, such as single electron transistors consisting of single sheets of carbon rolled up as nanotubes or flat as sheets of graphene. By making hybrid technologies that combine molecules with nanoelectronics, we will lay the foundation for scaling up to more complex systems.
At this very small size, different atoms or molecules in different places affect the behaviour of the device. A breakthrough in the past few years enables us to see the positions of individual atoms in the materials which we want to use in our devices. The technique is aberration-corrected electron microscopy, and provided the electrons are not too energetic it is possible to look at the structures which we have made without damaging them. In this way we shall be able to relate the device performance to the atomic resolution microscopy of the component materials. Individual components of this vision include the following.
- design the devices to build, based on a deep understanding of how to control their quantum states;
- produce the materials, such as molecules with suitable spin states with carbon nanotubes and graphene for electrical substrates;
- make nanoscale devices and examine them in a microscope to see where the individual atoms and molecules are;
- perform the experiments to develop the quantum control and measurement for the effects which we aim to exploit;
- undertake theoretical modelling to understand the electron behaviour and to design new materials systems for improved performance.

Quantum Effects in Electronic Nanodevices
Professor G.A.D Briggs, Dr L. Bogani, Dr J. Mol, Professor H. Anderson, Professor C. Lambert
Electronic devices, when shrunk to the molecular scale, display prominent quantum effects. Within the QuEEN programme we shall develop the scientific understanding and technological know-how needed to exploit these quantum effects for reduced-energy computing, molecular recognition, universal memory and thermoelectric recovery of energy. Our research will concentrate on the underpinning science of stable and reproducible devices, consisting of single molecules connected to graphene electrodes, with the potential for scalable production. We aim to harness quantum interference in these devices by pursuing five complementary research challenges: 1. How can quantum interference in a molecule be controlled by an electrostatic gate? 2. Can spintronic effects provide superior molecular devices? 3. Can quantum interference be used to achieve high thermoelectric effects? 4. What are the performance limits for a single-molecule transistor? 5. Can we make single molecule devices that work in ambient conditions? The QuEEN programme combines chemical synthesis, nanofabrication, measurement, and theory, and integrates these different areas of expertise. QuEEN has a distinguished international Board and a range of industrial partners from local enterprises to established global firms.

Projects Available
Silicon quantum electronics
Dr J. A. Mol and Professor G. A. D. Briggs
Quantum information embodied in spins in silicon can be manipulated very precisely, and can persist for over three hours. Quantum computers made from silicon materials would benefit from the great industrial development of silicon processing and nanofabrication. Much of previous research in silicon for quantum computing has used donor impurities in bulk crystals. The great challenges now are to learn how to measure the states and control the interactions of a small numbers of spins in silicon. This project will seek to develop control techniques that will be sufficiently precise to allow fault-tolerant error-correction in silicon devices with small numbers of spins. Scalable quantum technologies will need to meet and surpass certain accuracy thresholds to demonstrate quantum error correction. The goal of the project will be to exceed these thresholds using impurity and quantum dot spins in silicon devices. For this you will investigate magnetic resonance in both many-spin and single-spin regimes. You will need to have, or to acquire early in the project, good knowledge of physics, magnetic resonance, quantum information, and semiconductor materials.

DNA sequencing using graphene nanoelectrodes
Dr J. A. Mol and Professor G. A. D. Briggs
Single strand DNA sequencing is a rapidly developing field of research on the cutting edge of physics, biology and chemistry. Solid state nanopores are currently being researched by Oxford Nanopore Technologies to form the basis for next-generation DNA sequencing tools. This includes the evaluation of graphene as a membrane for DNA sequencing applications. There is great need to develop methods for fabricating holes and gaps in graphene membranes that are scalable enough to be part of a production process. We are looking for a DPhil student who will develop suspended graphene devices that have the potential to meet the requirements for solid state nano-pores, and will:
1. Optimise the nanogap size for analyte molecules of interest.
2. Incorporate our suspended graphene nanogaps into the kind of instrumentation which Oxford Nanopores already uses.
3. Characterise the signals which we can measure from a range of analytes.
4. Seek to improve the geometry in order to optimise the nanogap/nanopore structures for commercial applications.
5. Develop recognition tunnelling as an electronic single-molecule sequencing method for DNA.
The goal is to develop arrays of 10s to 100s of nanopore/nanogap sensing elements integrated with an ASIC for single molecule detection. Following an initial proof of concept, the DPhil student will be working closely with Oxford Nanopore Technologies' team to manufacture the device at scale and increase the array density to 1000s of channels.

Quantum interference in single-molecule devices
Dr J. A. Mol, Professor G. A. D. Briggs and Professor H. L. Anderson*
Quantum interference offers a rich resource which could be exploited in molecular devices. If there are multiple pathways for energy transport through a molecule, or if electrical transport is subject to resonances within a molecule, then these effects could be exploited for practical technologies. For example, it may be possible to make transistors with much lower power consumption than current silicon CMOS, and it may be possible to develop improvement of thermovoltaic materials for scavenging heat that would otherwise be wasted. Understanding such phenomena may also shed light on postulated quantum coherent processes in biology, ranging from photosynthesis to bird navigation.
The project will require nanofabrication of carbon-based devices into which individual molecules can be inserted. The current through the molecules will be measured with a view to discovering mechanisms of quantum interference. A major challenge will be to devise and fabricate geometries with additional gates to control the quantum interference. The project will involve nanofabrication, chemical attachment of the molecules, and electrical measurements over a range of temperatures and frequencies, with especial regard to discovering the conditions under which quantum coherence can be found. A successful outcome will be to find regimes in which quantum coherence gives enhanced device performance.

Chip-based atomic clocks
E A Laird / G A D Briggs
Atomic clocks are among the most precise scientific instruments ever made, and are key to advanced navigation, secure communication, and radar technology. We are pursuing a new approach to create a clock that will fit on a chip. Instead of atomic vapours, we will use electron and nuclear spins in endohedral fullerene molecules, whose energy levels offer an exquisitely stable frequency reference. To make this novel approach work, we must overcome a range of physics and engineering challenges, including detecting spin resonance from a small number of spins, identifying the energy levels involved, and miniaturizing the control electronics and magnet. The reward will be a completely new technology with a wide range of civilian and military uses. We are looking for a candidate who has a strong interest in applying quantum physics in new technology, and is motivated to develop the new and demanding electronic measurement techniques that will be necessary.

Putting the mechanics into quantum mechanics: creating superpositions of motion using vibrating carbon nanotubes
E A Laird / N Ares / GAD Briggs
The quantum mechanics of microscopic objects such as atoms and spins is well established. But what about larger objects? Can we verify true quantum behavior for these?
As a first step to answering this question, we plan to create and measure quantum superpositions of nanoscale mechanical devices. Although tiny by everyday standards, even the smallest fabricated device contains thousands of atoms. We will make use of suspended vibrating carbon nanotubes. These possess many attractive features for creating mechanical quantum superpositions, including low mass, large quantum level spacing, and comparatively large zero-point motion. Our goal is to carry out a foundational test of quantum mechanics – the Leggett-Garg test – that falsifies the hypothesis of classical behavior in this device. This project will focus on creating and probing so-called "macroscopically distinct" superpositions, such as a superposition of zero and ten phonons in the same device. These challenging experiments on tiny devices are the first step on a long road to discovering whether quantum mechanics applies to macroscopic objects.

Carbon-based quantum devices characterised electrically and by imaging
Dr E. A. Laird, Dr J. H. Warner and Professor G. A. D. Briggs
Carbon nanomaterials are attractive materials for electronic devices, especially for quantum computers using the spin of single electrons. One challenge in realising these applications is that the detailed device structure cannot be fully controlled during fabrication. The aim of this project is to characterize the same devices both through electrical measurements and by high-resolution electron microscopy, with the aim of understanding the electronic properties in terms of the atomic structure.
The goal of project will be to determine how the bandstructure and spin-orbit coupling of carbon nanotubes depend on the atomic structure – in particular on the chirality, which describes how the carbon atoms are aligned. Through aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (AC-HRTEM), it is possible to measure the chiral indices of individual nanotubes, but so far this has not been performed on nanotubes integrated into electronic devices. You will combine these two kinds of measurement by incorporating a TEM window into existing fabrication technology for ultra-low-disorder nanotubes. You will then make electrical measurements of selected devices in a dilution refrigerator, with the aim of correlating the measured spin-orbit coupling to the previously determined chirality and comparing with existing theoretical predictions.

We are very satisfied with the installation.
Share this review:
After receiving a free home energy audit from Halco, this Painted Post, NY customer realized there was a significant amount of air infiltration in his basement. By insulating the basement walls with 2" of spray foam, we were able to bring this lower level of the home into the building envelope and make the home more comfortable and energy efficient. Unlike fiberglass, spray foam performs well in high-moisture environments, like a basement.
This project in Alfred Station, NY was in a manufactured home with cold floors and a 20 year old inefficient furnace. We installed 2" of closed cell spray foam to the underside of the home and reduced the air leakage by 33%! We also upgraded their furnace to a 95% efficiency unit. These customers will be more comfortable and have lower bills next winter!
Your man Matt, is one of the top technicians I have ever...
Very satisfied, Gary and Justin were very polite and professional and helpful...

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU AD: Notre Dame would rather play Rice or Temple
Near as anyone can tell, Arizona State would still like to host Notre Dame at Sun Devil Stadium in 2014, yet the Fighting Irish have little interest in taking on the Sun Devils.
However, that issue is not yet officially settled, meaning there is still some negotiating to be done and some conversations to be had between the schools.
"Talking to them as recently as two hours ago, we're still in discussions," ASU athletic director Steve Patterson told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday afternoon.
What, exactly, is being discussed is not entirely clear. Notre Dame, having moved to the ACC, is trying to free up a spot on the schedule to take on another conference foe. However, ASU is not exactly pleased with the idea of seeing one of the biggest draws on its 2014 schedule bail so late in the process. Notre Dame, who Arizona State will play on October 5 of this year in Cowboys Stadium, was in the 2012 BCS Championship Game and would provide a big early-season matchup for coach Todd Graham and the Sun Devils.
"I think they're excited about their new TV contract with the ACC, so they think it's probably not as beneficial to come to Tempe and take on Todd's team," Patterson said. "I think they've got a football coach who would prefer to play Rice and Temple.
"But we'll keep talking and see where we can get."
Rice, who is a member of Conference USA, went 7-6, whereas Temple, as part of the Big East, finished with a 4-7 mark.
The Devils, on the other hand, finished 2012 with an 8-5 record and appear to be on the upswing as a program.

Faculty of Science Deferred FINAL Examination Request Petition Forms
For courses taught through the Faculty of Science
FINAL examinations are a mandatory part of most courses. Students are expected to take the examination process seriously, Missing a final examination is a rare occurrence, but when it happens, a student must apply for final deferred examination privileges in courses offered by departments in the Faculty of Science (AS, BI, CH, CP, HE, HN, KP, MA, PC, PS, SC).
Please note:
1. Scheduling: Two final examinations scheduled at the same time
If a student has two final examinations scheduled at the same time, the student must contact the Examinations Office directly (Anne Snyder, firstname.lastname@example.com) to have one of the examinations re-scheduled.
2. Scheduling: ALC accommodation
Scheduling accommodations for students registered to write their final exams with Accessible Learning are now handled directly by a students ALC consultant. A deferral request form is no longer required for ALC exam scheduling accommodations (Faculty of Science only). Students registered with ALC, but who are requesting a final exam deferral on grounds other than scheduling (i.e., illness, religious grounds, etc.), will still need to submit an appeal for a deferred final examination to the course instructor (link to form below).
3. If a student is requesting to defer more than one final examination, a student must fill out the appeal form for multiple deferred final examinations which will be managed by the Office of the Associate Dean: Student Services (link to form below).
4. If a student is requesting a re-deferral of a final examination or is appealing for deferred final examination privileges based on student error (e.g., misreading the schedule, late arrival), a student must file a petition with the Office of the Associate Dean: Student Services (link to form below).

I bought 2 tickets for the city tour in LA because they did a deal through Travelzoo and it sounded and looked great. their website look scrumptious so I was totally in. They got a lot of business from the deal and our tour had 25 people in it.
Well when we got to the first restaurant, they served 3 appetizers for 25 people! WTF!!!! We each got 1 bite of food. That's it. We came hungry thinking, wow we are going to 4 restaurants, I'm sure we will be stuffed by the time we are done. Wrong!
Then we get to the second place. This one served more food, but it was finger foods. And still not that much. The other people on the tour were also unhappy and making jokes saying they felt as if they were in the hunger games fending for themselves.
We decided it was so bad and we were so hungry that we should leave and did. We went to eat a real meal at a nice restaurant nearby.
I then contacted the company for a refund and they said they could not give me one since I bought the deal through travelzoo. Finally after threatening with leaving a bad review, they said they would refund me half the money and have since then ignored my every attempt to contact them about this so called refund.
Travelzoo actually gave a credit, even though this was not their fault but rather the fault of the city tour. Anyway, long story short, if you want to go out to eat, pay too much and come home unhappy and hungry then the city tour will make that happen for you.
I usually dont like bashing companies online, but when a company is so bad they truly dont deserve anyone's hard earned cash.

Everytime I threatened to quit the regional manager assured me that they were working on the issues and soon the tour would be everything that was promised to both guests and partners. It never happened. I stopped believing them and quit. It wasn't worth the effort, and my name and face being associated with such a bad company. I hear they went out of business.

Perfect size
By Farmer Dave
from Saratoga, NY, United States
We bought very old farm house which had a challenging kitchen layout. There had never been a dishwasher in the house before! I was able to rearrange some of the 1940's metal kitchen cabinets and make a perfect space for our new dishwasher. I larger size would have never fit. The same r size seems to be able to handle the job for our family of four. They blue circle on the floor is cool too.

September is Baby Safety Month 2011
The crib is the only place where a baby is ever left alone and unsupervised for long periods of time. Creating a safe sleep environment is critical.
"All aspects of baby safety are important," says Mike Bost, vice president of Palmetto Childproofing, "but one area of the home where parents need to especially focus their babyproofing efforts is the nursery."
According to Bost, crib safety and creating a safe sleep environment are particular areas of concern. "The crib is the only place where a baby is ever left alone and unsupervised for long periods of time," he says. "Therefore, it is critical that it be made as safe as possible." He offers the following tips for keeping babies safe in the nursery and in the crib:
Crib Safety: More than 9 million cribs have been recalled in the last five years. New federal crib safety standards affecting the sale, resale, and manufacture of cribs took effect on June 28, 2011. One main area addressed was the banning of drop-side cribs. For more information about the new federal standards and recalled cribs, visit www.cribsafety.org
More Crib Safety: Move your child from a crib to a bed as soon as he or she outgrows the crib. Approximately 5,000 toddlers each year are treated in emergency rooms for injuries sustained after falling out of cribs. Your toddler is outgrowing the crib if the height of the top rail is less than three-quarters of the child's height, or if he or she is able to climb up the sides of the crib.
Even More Crib Safety: Avoid placing a crib near a window. The cords from window blinds can pose a strangulation hazard. Regardless of crib placement, ensure blind cords are wrapped high on a wall cleat out of reach. Consider installing cordless blinds as a safer alternative.
Safe Sleep Environment:
Video and Audio Monitors: Since 2004, at least six infants have been strangled by baby monitor cords placed too close to the crib. Check the location of your baby monitors, including those mounted on the wall, to ensure electrical cords are out of reach from the crib. As your child grows, ensure the cords stay out of reach.
Furniture Safety: Approximately 19,000 children each year are treated in emergency rooms for tip-over related injuries. Dressers and bookshelves in the nursery should be secured to the wall with brackets or furniture straps.
Choking Hazards: The rubber tips on door stops can be easily removed by babies and pose a choking hazard. Replace these door stops with solid, one-piece door stops. Check the floor daily to ensure dropped items do not pose a choking hazard. As a general rule, if an object is small enough to pass through a toilet paper tube, it is small enough to choke on.
Electrical Outlets: Cover electrical outlets with self-closing outlet plates. Avoid using plastic push plugs as they may pose a choking hazard if dislodged. Additionally, avoid plugging anything into an outlet within reach of the crib.
Changing Tables: Never leave your baby unattended, even for a moment, on a changing table. Do not hang pictures or mirrors above the changing table as these may be dislodged and cause injury.

In the month of September I called Cash call because of an TV advertisement of low interest rate and got the surprise of my life! no loan after giving all my information. I had a high credit score and they pretend that my loan would be handle within (30) days. I spoke with a person by the name of Monica once, she sent out information by Fed Express and I sent back the loan documents and she never contact me again by phone, all communication was done by email and I got suspecious, because their was no phone contact. This place did a title report and had linked me to another person with the same last name by different first name, they also tried to insist I had a judgement againist me when I did not. After I cancel the loan application because I was not comfortable dealing with cash call, a woman whom claim she was a customer service representive contact me and tried to get me to continue with the scam loan, after she realized I only wanted a stream-line loan and did not want to take out any equity on my home the loan process stop.
This company started out as a payday loan company, and move up to mortgage loans, watch out for scammers, if it sounds to good to be true most likely it is!!!!!! it is only a matter of time before this place closed down.

Rigondeaux vs. Looknongyantoy To Air On UniMas
Undefeated unified junior featherweight world champion and Cuban sensation Guillermo 'El Chacal' Rigondeaux will defend his titles against Top-Five contender and two-time world title challenger Sod Looknongyantoy, Saturday, July 19, at The Venetian® Macao Cotai Arena.
Promoted by Top Rank® and Sands China Ltd., in association with Tecate, All Star Boxing, Caribe Promotions and Foreman Boys Promotions, the Rigondeaux vs. Looknongyangtov world junior featherweight championship fight will be televised via same-day delay as the main event of Solo Boxeo Tecate on UniMás, beginning at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Remaining tickets for the Rigondeaux vs. Looknongyangtov world junior featherweight championship event can be purchased via Cotai Ticketing™. Prices start at HKD/MOP 80, with ferry and hotel packages also available.
Rigondeaux (13-0, 8 KOs), of Miami, Florida, one of boxing's top pound for pound fighters, returns to the ring making his 2014 debut. Last year he unified the World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) 122-pound titles by defeating 2012 Fighter of the Year Nonito Donaire on April 13, 2013, at a sold-out Radio City Music Hall in New York. Rigondeaux thoroughly dominated Donaire via a unanimous decision victory, ending the Filipino Flash's 12-year, 30-bout winning streak, as well as claiming his WBO junior featherweight title.
Rigondeaux had a stellar amateur career, winning Olympic gold medals in 2004 and 2000, World Amateur Championship titles in 2005 and 2001, and Pan American Games gold medals in 2005 and 2003, all at 119 pounds, before leaving Cuba to embark on a professional career which began in Miami in 2009.
In only his seventh professional fight where both fighters scored knockdowns, Rigondeaux captured the WBA interim super bantamweight title, winning a tough split decision over the vastly more experienced former world champion Ricardo Cordoba in 2010. After successfully defending the interim title in 2011 with a first-round knockout of previously undefeated former European super bantamweight champion Willie Casey, Rigondeaux won the WBA world super bantamweight championship with a sixth-round knockout of previously undefeated defending champion Rico Ramos on January 20, 2012.
Rigondeaux has successfully defended that title four times since then, blasting out once-beaten Teon Kennedy in the fifth round, which included Kennedy suffering five knockdowns en route to the loss, and winning a dominant unanimous decision over once-beaten contender Roberto Marroquin, both in 2012, besting Donaire in their April 2013 title unification fight and most recently, defeating former two-time world champion Joseph Agbeko, December 7, via a dominant unanimous decision.
Looknongyantoy (63-2-1, 27 KOs), of Srithep, Thailand, has twice challenged for the WBO junior featherweight title, losing to Daniel De Leon both times, in 2005 and 2006. Since then, he has fashioned a nine -year, 37-bout unbeaten streak, which has included Asian, WBO Asia-Pacific and WBA Pan Asian 122-pound title victories. Possessing a style that features good skills and movement, he is currently world-rated No. 5 by the WBO and No. 10 by the WBA.

GMC Suburban 1500 ProblemsInternal Faults in Distributor Can Cause Engine Problems
The distributor may develop internal faults. This can cause a rough running engine or stalling condition, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. Our technicians tell us that the distributor should be overhauled or replaced to correct this concern.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) front wheel speed sensors are prone to failure. When a sensor fails, the ABS warning light may illuminate and/or the ABS system may activate erratically.
Vehicles equipped whit a 4 speed automatic transmission may develop a harsh 1-2 shift and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P1870 stored. This can be caused by wear of the bore for the TCC isolator and regulator valves in the valve body. This condition does not commonly occur until the transmission reaches normal operating temperature. If the valve body is worn, replacement will be necessary to correct this concern.

How stupid does little Bush think we are?
The answer is: pretty damned stupid.
That's the only conclusion possible after hearing him try to claim that the winding down of his "surge" escalation of 30,000 additional troops represents a "new" strategy of reducing American troops in Iraq.
I mean, WTF? It was called a "surge" because it was supposed to only last a few months. And it's ending when the deployment period of those soldiers and marines is up, not because it was a success, but because there are no more troops to replace them!
They have to be brought home!
And yet, here is Bush saying that because the "surge" is working (sic), he can start bringing the first soldiers home for Christmas (nice touch that). And here's the corporate media, at least in its "objective" news reports, quoting him without the slightest hint of irony.
And how about those Democrats? They too are playing along, talking respectfully to that hack, Gen. David "Peaches" Petraeus (a man I correctly identified two years ago as the bootlicking self-promoter even his boss, Admiral William Fallon now calls him). They should have laughed him and Ambassador Ryan Crocker out of the House and Senate hearing rooms and told them that they would have no more money to play with.
Congressional Democrats should be saying the same thing to Bush: No more money for Iraq.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
But they won't.
They just want a bigger drawdown of troops, so they can pretend they're doing something about the ongoing disaster in Iraq.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid whines that the Democratic majority is so small it is nonexistent. With Sen. Joe Lieberman voting with the Republicans, he pleads, he really only has 49 votes, so what can he do? The answer of course, is that he can filibuster any funding bills, and kill them with just 41 votes.
The Republicans know how to filibuster.
Whatsamatter with the Democrats?
And besides, the Democrats in the House have a more solid majority. They should be able to block additional funding for the war easily, by just not letting any such bill pass. Instead of threatening junior House members and committee chairs with punishment if they support impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be using her disciplinary power to make Blue Dog democrats toe the line and oppose further funding of the war—something she has been strangely unwilling to do. How about "war funding is off the table" Nancy?
In Bush's case, I think it's clear that he really doesn't care what we think. All he wants is to keep his war going through the next 16 months, until he can hand it over to the next president. And thanks to the wimps now running Congress, he appears likely to be able to do that.
If we the citizens of America then turn around and re-elect the current members of the Democratic majority or, heaven forefend, add to their sorry numbers in 2008, we will have vindicated Bush's estimate of our collective stupidity.
By the way, speaking of taking us all for stupid, how many people think that the death of three enlisted men in a truck crash in Iraq yesterday — three enlisted men who happen to have been among the seven who wrote a powerful op-ed article only a week ago in the New York Times calling the war a failure and saying the solution is for American troops to go home — was an "accident"?
At the time their piece was published, one of the seven had already been injured in the head by a sniper bullet. Now only three of the original brave seven remain alive and healthy.
The mother of one of the dead soldiers is demanding a full and open investigation into their bizarre deaths. Congress must join in that demand.
Sure, coincidences happen, but this is powerful strange. Half a million or more Americans in uniform have passed through the hell of Iraq and only some 4000 have been killed. That's roughly 0.8 percent. So you have a 0.8 percent chance of being killed in Iraq, and here we have three guys killed, all of whom had the courage to very publicly criticize the war.
At the very least, somebody needs to check who sent them out on that last mission together, and follow that order right up the chain of command.
As the paper that published their article, the New York Times really has an obligation to chase this story down to the bitter end.

Certified Life Care Planner
For the convenience of the reader, this Certified page provides links to pages pertinent to the CLCP credential. You will find direct access links to the CLCP application page, the CLCP examination page, and the CLCP recertification page. Please click on the appropriate menu button for the item you need.
CLCP Application Form
CLCP Non-Preapproved CEU Recertification Form
CLCP Pre-Approved CEU Recertification Form
CLCP Examination Download
The purpose of the CLCP credential is to measure the CLCP applicant's working knowledge of medical systems, associated disabilities, and treatment/maintenance protocol required for a catastrophically disabled individual to sustain life within an acceptable comfort level.
Non-discrimination Rights of Refusal Statement: The ICHCC does not discriminate against any applicant for CLCP certification because of race, color, religion, creed, age, gender, national origin or ancestry. However, the ICHCC reserves the right to reject an application based on one's documented professional misconduct, documented misconduct towards this agency, a history of licensure or certification revocation, or convictions related to criminal misdemeanors or felony charges.
Qualifying for the Certified Life Care Planner credential is based upon 2 factors; 1) meeting the definition of a "Qualified Healthcare Provider, and 2) the applicant's education and training. Before reviewing the educational and training experience component, one must ensure that he or she meets the International Commission on Health Care Certification's definition of "Qualified Health Care Professional."
The designation of a health care professional must be specific to the care, treatment, and/or rehabilitation of individuals with significant disabilities and does not include such professions as attorney, generic educators, administrators, etc., but does include such professions as counseling and special education with appropriate qualifications.
This designation of qualified healthcare professional is based on a background of education, training, and practice qualifications. A background of only experience and/or designated job title are not accepted as a qualified health care professional for this credential. Completion of training in life care planning, experience developing life care plans, or being qualified in the court system would not provide credential qualification without meeting the criteria for a qualified health care professional.
Due to their unregulated status or professional status that varies among states, the following is offered as clarification for qualified status regarding the following professionals:
Regarding graduate students holding a graduate degree, they may be deemed qualified provided they hold a graduate degree from an accredited program with a focus in rehabilitation in one or more of the following areas:
Persons holding licensure designations as "technicians" or "assistants", to include but are not limited to Physical Therapy Assistants (PTA), Occupational Therapy Assistants
(OTA), Dental Hygienists, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), Nursing Assistants or Certified Nursing Assistants, Massage Therapists, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN's), are excluded from qualifying to sit for the CLCP or CDE credential. However, any person meeting the above definition of a health care professional, but who also carries a "technician/assistant" title will be eligible to sit for the examination (e.g., a EMT who is a licensed RN).
The ICHCC requires the following criteria to be met by all candidates in order to qualify to sit for the examination:
The maintenance period for the CLCP credential is 5 years, and 80 clock hours of continuing educational units (CEU's) are required over this period. The CLCP professional is required to have 8 of the 80 required recertification hours to be of ethical practice subject matter. The ICHCC reviews training programs to determine if the training content has any application to life care planning service delivery. It does not accredit nor approve any training or educational programs that may be applied specific to the CLCP examination. Rather, the ICHCC charges a review fee to all entities requesting coverage of their CEU's for application to the Certified Life Care Planner credential, whether the entity meets the approval criteria or is rejected. Criteria for approval or rejection of the reviewed program for CEUs are based on the following:
Options for Renewal
The ICHCC certification maintenance program extends the status of the ICHCC and CLCP at five year intervals. Options for renewal include:
The option one renewal requirement is a total of 80 clock hours of approved education/training for each five-year period. Documentation is required to validate that the education or training has been successfully completed in one or more of the focus areas related to functional capacity evaluation, impairment rating, and life care planning (described below).
Option One
Option Two
Re-examination. The fee is $250 and covers both the examination fee and certification renewal.
If the renewal candidate does not desire to retest, but also lacks the necessary 80 hours of CEU's, then the candidate can apply for an extension. This is available to CLCPs who have completed and submitted 30 of the 80 hours required for maintenance. A six (6) month extension may be granted. The fee is $100.
Focus Areas
Foundations of Industrial Injury and Evaluation: Includes but not limited to orthopaedic and neurological disorders of injured workers, psychological aspects of industrial injuries, work related injuries and chronic pain response, evaluating function within the chronic pain patient, evaluating the psychological profile of the chronic pain patient, and applications of symptom magnification of the industrially injured worker.
Medical Correlates of Disability: Includes but not limited to orthopaedic and neurological diagnoses and their applied disability periods and limitations, orthopaedic and neurological injuries associated with workplace trauma, personal injury diagnoses and subsequent disability periods of limitations.
Foundations of Life Care Planning: Includes but not limited to philosophy in planning; approaches to planning and presentation formats; ethics; future trends; and methodologies.
Resource Development: Includes but not limited to legislative developments, equipment and procedure information sources, technological advances, research/outcome studies and professional association specializations.
Medical/Treatment Issues: Includes but not limited to catastrophic injury complication management; mobility issues; bowel/bladder care; medication and surgical interventions; therapy issues; and evaluation techniques.
Case and Medical Management in Catastrophic Disability: Includes but not limited to facility/modality assessment; environmental adaptations; transportation; family adjustment/dynamics and counseling; psychological/behavioral issues; coordinating special needs; collateral sources; and educational systems.
Vocational Issues: Includes but not limited to earning capacity analysis, vocational evaluation; labor market information; return to work issues in disability compensation systems; testing issues; and work life/earnings cycle assessment.
Medical/Rehabilitation Testimony: Includes but not limited to roles of medical and rehabilitation experts; working with economists; structured settlements and reserve setting issues; malpractice issues; and scope of practice issues.
Procedures for Renewal
Approximately three months prior to the "valid through" date printed on the certificate, ICHCC will mail a renewal application. Completion of the application, submission of documentation of 80 clock hours of continuing education, and payment of the non-refundable certification renewal fee is required.
Failure to renew your certification will result in the revocation of your certified status. The applicant acknowledges that the information submitted on a signed application is accurate. ICHCC retains the right to revoke or suspend certification if a certification is granted on the basis of false, misleading or inaccurate information if such information becomes evident upon inquiry. Additionally, the ICHCC retains the right to suspend or revoke certification if that individual is found to behave in an unprofessional, unsupportive manner towards the ICHCC
Please notify ICHCC of any change in address. Reasonable efforts will be made to send the renewal information; however, it is your responsibility to renew the certification by the expiration date on your certificate.
Note: Should you fail to renew your certification, re-application under all current standards and criteria in addition to a passing score on the certification examination will be required.
Sources of Continuing Education
Education and training for certification maintenance may be obtained from a number of potential sources including in-service training programs, seminars and workshops, college and university courses, national and regional conferences, as well as professional publications and presentations related to the focus areas outlined above. A ICHCC Request for Approval Form is attached and may be photocopied as needed.
Option One Documentation
ICHCC will approve continuing education activities for individuals on a post-attendance basis. Information required includes each item under the following:
Maximum Credit: 10 clock hours for each original 1 hour presentation
Maximum Credit: 25 clock hours for each publication
Miscellaneous Documentation Requirements/Issues
A letter or other form of written verification from workshop, seminar, and conference providers will also be acceptable, providing information concerning content, clock hours, and attendance is included. Academic credit is converted as follows: one quarter hour of academic credit equals 10 clock hours; one semester hour equals 15 clock hours.
Programs should be at least 60 minutes in length. They must be offered in accessible, barrier-free locations and include evaluation components to be completed by participants. The purpose of the program should be clearly defined in terms of objectives & expected outcome and designed to increase the participant's knowledge in the focus areas outlined above.
Persons who have completed 50 of the 80 hours required for continuing education may request a review for extension. Each request will be reviewed individually, documentation of the 50 hours must be completed, a $100 administrative fee is required, and sufficient time must be allowed before the current certification expires. An extension may be granted for up to six months.
An appeals process is available for any CLCP who feels his or her application for certification renewal was processed in an inaccurate or unfair manner. An appeals procedure would be administered by the Ethics Committee.

I've hunted all around, and I find conflicting information.
What I'm looking for is to have an icon appear when inserting a non-image into a WP page. Right now all I get is a link.
In the ADMIN section, under media library an icon does appear, but not on the site's pages.
Seems at one time you could put special named files in the theme/images directory and get them to show, then later it was hard coded to the "crystal" icon set.
I did find a plug in that supposed allow you to link images to non-image media called "Custom Thumbnails" but it doesn't work very well, and I wanted to get the functionality back that apparently *used* to exist in wordpress but for some reason is now gone...
I read somewhere among the various technical sites that the function was "gutted" and hard coded to the crystal icon set somewhere around ver 2.5 (??)
