text: The cardoon (French: "cardon") is a thistle-like vegetable cultivated in the Geneva Region and neighbouring canton Vaud. It tastes of artichoke and is popular especially during colder months baked in a gratin sauce (gratin de cardon). The cardoon was introduced in the 17th century by Huguenots who had fled to French-speaking Switzerland.

In the rear of the romantic side valley of Sertig, eagles nest in springtime directly above the waterfall. From here, a beautiful hiking route leads through the Ducan Valley (home of the marmots) via the Fanezzfurgga to Monstein, a Walser village. The pure mountain water inspired the population of Monstein to open Europe's highest brewery in the year 2001. The contrast of city and countryside are nowhere as obvious as in the landscape of Davos. In the Nutli Hüschi in Klosters and in the local history museum of Davos visitors can retrace the footsteps of the Walser people.

When an earthquake struck Maggie Chen's office building in Chengdu, she fled taking only her mobile phone with her. "The first thing I did was call my husband," she says. "I would have felt helpless and frightened if I couldn't contact my family."
Maggie, a 31-year-old China Mobile subscriber, was one of millions affected by the Sichuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, one of the worst earthquakes in China's history. It left nearly 70,000 people dead and more than 5 million homeless.
Bo Deng, Service Delivery Manager at Ericsson was at a workshop in Chengdu that day. He was soon to become a hero, keeping the phone network up and running throughout the devastation.
The epicenter of the Sichuan earthquake was 80km northwest of the network operations center that we run for China Mobile in Chengdu. Bo realized he had to act quickly. Unable to reach his own family, he concentrated on getting across town to the Sichuan Mobile Operation and Maintenance Center – the communications hub for 10 million China Mobile subscribers.
He and his colleagues piled into a car to find a route around the congested traffic to get across town. "People were rushing to leave the city, and taxis and buses were stopped," Bo says. "It took more than an hour to travel the 40km to the center."
Their efforts in the first critical hours after the quake ensured that people could call for help on their mobiles, or check on their loved ones.
"When we arrived at the center, we couldn't be sure of the building's stability, so we connected to our exchange using a wireless LAN outside," Bo says. All the voice network exchanges kept running normally. "The system never went down, despite extreme network traffic."
In the weeks that followed, Bo helped with rescue efforts and stayed on duty at the operations center. "Uninterrupted communication was important to save lives and helped speed up the rescue operation," he says.
Juan Liu, a manager for Mianyang prefecture, which sustained some of the worst losses in the region, says a functioning mobile network was essential in coordinating the response: "I relied on the network to receive orders from rescue headquarters and receive messages or calls from anyone who needed help."
She used her mobile phone constantly during the crisis. Communications were vital for everyone. "The first thing survivors want to do is to contact their family," she says.

Do you support the coal industry in the United States?
I bet the people who answer no still indirectly do when they purchase certain things, but they likely don't even know it.

One way or the other, we are all supporting the coal industry. Its just a matter of whether we purchase goods/services created with coal or we pay taxes that will be used to support ex-coalworkers forced into welfare.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It's unnerving to think how many regions relying on the coal industry will become economic disaster areas if Obummer is successful. Tens of millions of Americans will pay much more for electricity.
Tens of thousands of businesses and industries providing good jobs will suffer dramatic results from it and that is spooky in itself.
Obummer is intelligent enough to understand that, the data was hand delivered to last week and he is very aware of it. But he has made it clear he plans to plow forward in his war on coal.
Obviously, he just simply doesn't care about the casualties and that is frightening. His way or the highway. Right or wrong means nothing to that moron. It's like a vendetta with him and he never wants to be proven wrong.
But hey, those 9% that are blind to his BS will suffer the consequences of their support for him right along with the rest of us.

Why complain 90% of us support the industry. That's 90% more then support Congress.

That's a fact Jack!

If you can not support American Coal you can not support anything.
This should not even be a question.

"What is your opinion of someone who is actively working to destroy the coal industry?" In 2014 I stopped having any political views. Support Coal it's plant life that evolved into coal.

I lost my father to black lung in 1975, just a few months after I got out of the army. I understand the need for coal in communities where the only jobs are coal mining and truck driving and the truck driver jobs get snatched up fast. I wish it were not so. Coal mining is a very tough, dirty, dangerous job. I wish we could take all of the men out of the mines and retrain them. Things are a little better now than back when a widow got two bags of groceries and an eviction notice to get out of the company shack she and her children were living in. I have not seen anything recently on the news about miners being trapped in a cave in but it has not been that long since I did. Still there are other problems with coal. What caused thousands of gallons of a chemical used to clean coal to spill into the water? How dangerous is the chemical? And why didn't anyone catch the problem sooner? Those who think the regulations are too tight might want to ask those questions.

I'm very sorry about your father.
I do support the coal industry, but I do get very angry when there is a cave-in/explosion as it seems many were preventable and the penalties are small. I know some mine owners used to be very uncaring about their workers and families, and while most I know of locally now treat their workers well, there are still some who would rather make more than protect their workers. I guess that's true in various businesses/companies though. But I would like to see more safeguards enforced in places where the consequences of a problem are big.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - In an effort to help local residents get their business ideas off the ground, David Rosen developed a way to provide funding for those first steps.
Held at Shepherd University Wednesday evening, the Entrepreneurs' Cafe raised $810 for Rosen's cause. Local members of the business community gathered, and through a $10 admission fee for dinner, raised $310. The remaining amount was donated by Morgan's Grove Market.
Five entrepreneurs presented their business ideas before the group, and then attendees voted for where they wanted to donate the funds raised from the event.

Peter Corum of Morgan's Grove Market, Sheila Vertino and David Rosen present entrepreneurial winners Kristen Vogel and Than Hitt with funds to grow their businesses.
"The goal is to try and create a new entrepreneurial class in the Eastern Panhandle to get people to start their own business and break down the barriers," said Rosen, whose wife owns a business in Shepherdstown.
"One of the hardest things about starting a business is coming up with that starting money rather than putting it on the credit card," Rosen said.
Members of the business community voted for their favorite project, and the tallied votes came out to a tie. Than Hitt of W.V. Community Solar and Kristen Vogel of Vinyls by Vogel split the prize money.
Hitt has lived in Shepherdstown since 2008, and said the state is headed in the right direction. He believes that direction could include Shepherdstown as a leader in clean technology.
"We need to provide multiple options apart from rooftop solar on houses. We need to let the community invest in solar, and that is what we are proposing to do," Hitt said.
Hitt outlined a plan that included forming an LLC, contracting a solar installation company to lease solar panels to a host site and then having the revenue stream from the site return to the LLC to pay investors over time. He plans to use the money to aid in production of a website to help potential investors determine if solar is the right choice for them.
"One location option is Shepherdstown Presbyterian Church. The south-facing side of that church could have about 150 solar panels and would power the church and part of the neighborhood," Hitt said.
Vinyls by Vogel developed when Vogel was pregnant with her son and began scrapbooking and making vinyl wall decorations.
"My husband finally said, 'you've got to stop putting stickers on the walls.' So, then I started selling the wall decals," Vogel said.
She designed cups, bottles, T-shirts and many more items for different events, but now has grown her business and hopes to reach out to the local business community.
"I want to draw the local crowd rather than them going online to purchase from businesses out of the area," Vogel said.
She plans to use the money to purchase a larger plotter - a machine that works as a printer, but instead of ink has a razor blade to cut the design transferred from computer software. She is also looking at the possibility of hiring two individuals to help with production and sales.
"It seems like not a lot of money, but it's a huge amount of money for that person starting the business, because they already stopped working somewhere else and they are into the new business. Whether it's a book writer or a nonprofit or someone doing vinyls, the money does matter," Rosen said.
Additional entrepreneurs in attendance included Ashley Starnes of Meadowsweet Botanicals, Brenda Svoboda of Business Development Alternatives and Katherine Ryan of the Ryan Film Institute.
The next Entrepreneurial Cafe will be held at Shepherd University in November. For more information, contact David Rosen at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit EntrepreneursCafeShepherdstownEasternPanhandle on Facebook.

She picked these socks out at Target. And then put them on all by herself.
I'm feeling lots of ups and downs and ups and downs lately, overwhelmed, tired, derailed, scatter-brained, nervous, confused, sad, bummed out about a lot of things I am hesitant to write about even though I think it might make me feel better, and also make me make more sense.
Maybe I will. Probably I won't. Or I'll end up being super cryptic. Sigh.
It's my 11th wedding anniversary today. We're celebrating with pancakes and peaches and whipped cream and I can smell it now (hubs is cooking!) This is an up.

All too often the talk of community-minded efforts by TV broadcasters or pro sports teams ring hollow and produce just that - talk.
At best it's calculated lip service or serious spin.
Thankfully, that's not the case with a rare sports broadcasting opportunity that becomes a reality March 30, when the Altoona Curve and WWCP-TV collaborate to broadcast the exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates from Peoples Natural Gas Field.
With only standing-room tickets remaining for the game, Curve officials reached out and found a willing partner for the collaboration.
For the Curve, it's a chance to share the special game with people throughout the region, promoting their product while serving fans. For WWCP, it's also serving people in the region.
"It's a special opportunity, something that should not be missed, and we're glad to be a part of it," said WWCP general manager Frank Quitoni. "It's just another way for us to serve the community."
That's true, and it's also true that advertiser support for the game has been strong. Still, no Saturday afternoon baseball game, no matter how different or important, will turn the station's budget all by itself, so the community-minded reasons ring true.
Plans for the broadcast include a half-hour pregame show, player introductions along the baselines and more. Thanks to the Curve's in-house production team, led by John Foreman, WWCP needs only to add a camera or two of its own to the ballpark's production and then make sure the signal gets distributed throughout the region.
"It's not a huge technical challenge, but it's an important event and we take the responsibility of televising the game seriously," said Quitoni, whose background includes two Emmy Awards for technical achievement while working for CBS Sports covering the Olympics in 1992 and 1994. "We're treating it like the big event it is for this region."
When the Pirates last played in Altoona - on May 15, 2000 - more than 7,300 people watched in person. This time, thousands more, from Johnstown to State College, will have the chance to watch as well.
Tuner tidbits
n Curve play-by-play man Mike Passanisi will work the game with former Pirates pitcher and Huntingdon native Stan Belinda.
n Another strong installment of ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series airs at 9 p.m. tonight. "Survive and Advance" focuses on N.C. State's 1983 national championship team.
n ESPN Radio's decision not to renew the contract of Chuck Wilson, who was with the network at its inception and most recently worked on a freelance basis, is a loss for overnight and weekend listeners.
n Fox Sports 1, officially announced as a rival for ESPN last week and set to launch Aug. 17, will rely heavily on college sports and UFC programming in its first year. Do not be surprised if Erin Andrews and Gus Johnson have high-profile roles. And the selection of Regis Philbin to host an hour-long panel discussion each evening at 5 p.m. should be interesting.
n After the announcement of the NCAA Tournament field tonight, not many guarantees remain -except those related to TV broadcasts and coverage. For example, requisite complaints about seeding and who did not make the field will follow on every possible outlet and the CBS Sports interview with Mike Bobinski, chair of the tournament selection committee, will be scrutinized for all that gets asked or not asked.

"What cannot active government perform,
New moulding man? wide stretching from these shores
A people savage from remotest time.
A huge, neglected empire, ONE VAST MIND
By heaven inspired from Gothic darkness call'd.
Immortal Peter! first of Monarchs! He
His stubborn country tamed, her rocks, her fens;
Her floods, her seas, her ill submitting sons;
And while the fierce Barbarian he subdued,
To more exalted soul he rais'd the Man.
Ye shades of antient heroes, ye who toil'd
Thro' long successive ages to build up
A labouring plan of state, behold at once
The wonder done! behold the matchless prince!
Who left his native throne where reign'd till then
A mighty shadow of unreal power;
Who greatly spurn'd the slothful pomp of courts;
And roaming every land, in every port
His sceptre laid aside, with glorious hand
Unwearied, plying the mechanic tool,
Gather'd the seeds of trade, of useful arts
Of civil wisdom, and of martial skill.
Charg'd with the stores of Europe, home he goes!
Then cities rise amid th'illumined wastes
O'er joyless desarts smiles the rural reign;
Far distant flood to flood is social joined,
Th'astonished Euxine hears the Baltick roar,
Proud navies ride on seas that never foam'd
With daring keel before; and armies stretch
Each way their dazzling files, repressing here
The frantic Alexander of the North,
And awing there stern Othman's shrinking sons.
Sloth flies the land, and ignorance, and vice
Of old dishonour proud: it glows around. { 299 }
Taught by the ROYAL HAND that rous'd the whole,
One scene of arts, of arms, of rising trade:
For what his wisdom plann'd and power enforc'd
More potent still, his great example shew'd.1

The Division of General Internal Medicine provides clinical care to adults and educational direction to students and residents at the Brody School of Medicine. We are committed to these services for the patients and the trainees in eastern North Carolina.
General internists provide primary and comprehensive medical care for adults. We have an outpatient clinical facility in which we offer care that ranges from primary care and health maintenance to management of multi-system illnesses. Much of the management of medical diseases occurs in our clinics, though we have access to the broad range of medical consultants throughout ECU Physicians. We deliver this care as individual faculty practices and in collaboration with our resident physicians in the Department of Internal Medicine.
General Internal Medicine is also responsible for supervision of the bulk of inpatient general medical care. Our faculty attend on the inpatient services year-round, helping to facilitate a seamless treatment program between the inpatient and outpatient settings.
Faculty in general medicine offer some unique specialized care. There are individuals specially trained and certified in the practice of geriatrics, hypertension and acupuncture.

The American Idol alumni, who got engaged on the show's 2012 finale, are putting the finishing touches on their wedding preparations – from the clothes to the cake to the guest list – and they're giving us a sneak peek of it all. Well, almost everything. Diana won't reveal the wedding dress until she walks down the aisle. Not even a hint!
From now until their wedding, we'll have exclusive videos of Ace, 32, and Diana, 25, as they count down to their big day. And, of course, PEOPLE will have exclusive wedding photos – including the dress that she promises will be "beautiful" – in an upcoming issue, on newsstands after the wedding.
Day 1: GiftsSo what do you get for a young, good-looking couple who have everything?
In the first video, Ace and Diana show off some of the wedding gifts they've already received from family and friends.
"You can register for more stuff than you ever thought possible," says Diana. Some of the presents are practical, like the KitchenAid mixer they received from a complete stranger. Others are saucy, like the "sex dice" they received from an old family friend. Young promises that they will be put to good use. TMI, Ace!
Check out the video below – and check back for more from Ace and Diana as their wedding day approaches.

Before considering whether to lodge a complaint with ACCA, please read the policy document (in the related documents section of this page), which sets out the types of complaint which we will investigate and those which we will not be able to take forward.
If your complaint is about an Insolvency Practitioner it must be made via the Insolvency Complaints Gateway. If a complaint is made directly to ACCA, it will be passed to the Gateway. Complaints are filtered by the Insolvency Service and, if appropriate, will be passed on to the Insolvency Practitioner's authorising body for further consideration. The authorising body will then consider the complaint under its normal procedures. Further information is contained on The Insolvency Service website, a link to which is included on the left.
In appropriate cases, your first step must be to lodge a formal complaint with the firm in question. ACCA firms are required to have in place internal complaints-handling procedures in accordance with section 3.18 of ACCA's Code of Ethics and Conduct. Your complaint should be investigated by a person of seniority who, where possible, has not been directly involved in the matter.
Under 'related documents' you'll find a sample letter which you can use to invoke the firm's procedures. Please note that ACCA may not be able to consider your complaint if you have not first exhausted those procedures.
What if the firm does not resolve the complaint to my satisfaction?
If the firm's investigation of your complaint does not result in a satisfactory resolution of the matter, please print out and complete the Complaint form and send it, together with all previous correspondence you have had with the firm and any other supporting evidence, to:
Professional Conduct
The Adelphi
1-11 John Adam Street
tel: +44 (0)20 7059 5000
fax: +44 (0)20 7059 5998
Who will deal with my complaint?
This is explained in our 'Guide to ACCA Complaints and Disciplinary Procedures 2015'.

on October 9, 2012 - 6:24 AM
, updated October 9, 2012 at 6:33 AM
In early July, a group of young Buffalo artists transformed the south side of a brick building at 515 Main St. into a colorful, contemporary mural. For many denizens of the slowly re-emerging downtown neighborhood, this unexpected jolt of color signaled the beginning of a new lease on life for the block.
But last week, the creators of the mural and promoters of the 500-block revival received news that the vacant lot that provided access to the mural for hundreds of people over the summer would be fenced off later this month. Allpro Parking, which manages the privately owned lot, informed the 500 Block Committee by email Thursday of its plans to erect two fences on either end of the narrow alleyway during the week of Oct. 15 or 22 unless community members came up with a proposal for its future use and an offer to sublet the property by Friday.
"I understand that our decision to install a fence is not the first preference of some. Please be mindful of the following: This land is private property and not a public alley as some may wish to believe. The owner of the parcel along with the management of the property [Allpro] are concerned with the liability exposure," Allpro President and CEO Rick Serra wrote in the email, which was provided to The News by Main Street Studios owner Erica Eichelkraut Zilbauer. "We cannot delay the installation of the fence, as we want to secure the parcel before our wintry snow season is upon us, as we see this parcel with snow cover will create tremendous liability issues."
For Zilbauer, a member of 500 Block Committee who said she submitted a proposal with various ideas for the reuse of the alleyway to Allpro in May and was told it was not necessary, the company's eight-day ultimatum for community members to come up with an alternative to a fence and the money to sublet the lot is frustrating.
"We're trying really hard to work with them. They've been a part of all the block parties. They've come to the business meetings, they've made an effort to be good neighbors. So this ultimatum is just really incredibly confusing to us," Zilbauer said. "They participated in the mural. Obviously we had to get approval to be standing on that lot and put ladders up. So they were very aware of what was going on and how much work was going into it. That might have been a good time to say, 'Listen, we are going to be fencing this off soon.' But, nope."
Serra, for his part, said he did not recall receiving a proposal from Zilbauer in May and cited concerns with foot traffic that expose Allpro to liability issues, especially in the winter months. He said that Allpro has managed the property for six or seven years, but that issues with dog-droppings and loitering have only become apparent in the past year.
"We're always concerned about liability. People walking through create more exposure for people to possibly to sustain injuries and fall down," he said. "Liability's always an issue, but for the past year, there's been more unwanted activity in and around our parking lot, whether it was my neighbor's property next door or this vacant parcel being used more as a passage by the wrong people."
Serra stressed that he was referring to vagrants – not to the increased foot traffic resulting from art events at 515 Main or to passers-by who are curious about the new mural. He added that the mural would still be visible from Main Street if the lot were fenced-off.
But for Zilbauer and her supporters, who have been loudly voicing their opposition to Allpro's plan on Facebook and have sent several emails to Serra the increased artistic activity in and around the lot over the summer has already cleared up most of the problems Allpro's proposed fence is meant to eliminate.
"When I first looked at this building last August, the first thing I saw was two people sleeping in it. The next day I went back, there was a guy doing heroin. The next day I went back, there was someone punching someone else. I mean, that lot has been a horrible issue for a long time," Zilbauer said. She believes the interest in the mural and increased activity on the 500 block have helped. "There's a lot of problems that have been solved. So I'm confused. I'm very confused about the timing. This lot's been a problem for a really long time, and now all of a sudden they're coming in and deciding they need to fence it off. It doesn't make any sense to me."
Serra admitted that the activities of Zilbauer and other 500 Block Committee members on Facebook rubbed him the wrong way, but said that the Oct. 12 deadline was "absolutely" flexible and that Allpro is open to discussions.
"Allpro is a stand-up company. I didn't realize it was going to be something that they had to go on a negative campaign [about]," Serra said. "I can't see why this can't be a win-win for everybody."

Placement Tests in Hindi and Urdu:
Please see instructor if you are interested in taking a placement test.
The courses we offer this semester are:
Hindi 1102: for students who have had very little or no exposure to Hindi.
Hindi 1110: for beginning students who cannot read or write the language, but have had some exposure to it, and have some passive knowledge of Hindi.
Hindi 2202: the second year course.
Hindi 3302: the third year course.
Hindi-Urdu is the third most widely spoken language in the world. It belongs to the Indo-Aryan group of languages, a subset of Indo-European.
Some history:
Hindi and Urdu are descended from the language that was spoken in the area in and around Delhi in North India roughly in the ninth and tenth centuries. This language was given the Persian metonym Hindvi/Hindi, i.e the language of Hind (the land of the Indus river), by the Persian-speaking Turks who overran Punjab and the Gangetic plains in the early eleventh century and established what is known as the Delhi Sultanate. Hindvi was constructed largely from Sanskrit loan words which had been 'softened' for 'bol-chal' or common speech. It also absorbed Persian, and through Persian, Arabic loan words, and developed as a mixed or broken language of communication between the newly arrived immigrants and the resident native population of North India. It travelled south and west as the Sultanate expanded beyond the Gangetic plains. From the eighteenth century Hindvi began to flower as a literary language. In the course of another century it split into Hindi and Urdu, the former representing a Sanskrit bias and the latter a Persian one. Contemporary spoken Hindi and Urdu speech registers have a measure of English thrown in too. With such rich historical antecedents, it is an exciting language to learn. If you choose to learn the Urdu script you get two languages for the price of one.
The Hindi Language At Cornell
There are three levels of Hindi-Urdu instruction at Cornell. The first level is split into two streams. The 1101-1102 sequence is intended for true beginners, students with no prior exposure to the languages. The 1109-1110 sequence is an accelerated course intended for students with various degrees of prior oral and/or aural exposure to the languages, but very little or no formal education in them. Both streams continue on to 2201-2202 and 3301-3302. Students with prior exposure to Hindi-Urdu should consult the instructor or take a placement exam to determine what level they should start in.
Cornell Area Program Affiliation:
South Asia Program
The South Asia Program coordinates teaching, research, and campus activities focusing on the Indian subcontinent, which comprises the modern nations of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Since 1985, Cornell has been in consortium with Syracuse University as a National Resource Center for South Asia. The Program attracts students engaged in regional history and the social sciences, and students are well known for their research on questions concerning the environment, rural inequality and agrarian change, labor market dynamics, economic liberalization, social movements and questions of governance. Through a weekly seminar series, yearly workshops and cultural events, students, faculty and invited speakers exchange ideas, research experiences and on-going research.

Title II Reports
Title II of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Reauthorization Act imposes accountability expectations on institutions of higher education that prepare teachers and the states in which they operate. The law establishes a three-tier reporting system.
- Each teacher training institution is required to submit specific information about its programs and program assessment results to the state in which it is located and to various publics. The Annual Institutional Reports are due April 7, 2008.
- Each state must report to the U.S. Department of Education and to the citizens of the state regarding teacher education polices and results. The Illinois State Report Card is to be filed by October 10, 2008.
- The Secretary of Education must use the separate state responses in the development of a report to the Congress on teacher preparation. The congressional report is due in April 2009.

Nintendo's second half of 2008 is looking pretty barren for new releases at the moment, but that's sure to change. Nintendo US boss Reggie Fils-Aime has said that Wii-owners can expect "a big game for the holiday" and we're sure that game and more will be revealed at E3 in July. With that in mind we've put together the Top 10: Nintendo games we'd love to see on Wii. Sure, we won't get them all this year, but there's no harm in thinking ahead.
10. Donkey Kong
Let's admit it, Donkey Kong 64 wasn't nearly as good as it could have been. Rare delivered a great looking Nintendo 64 game that featured some great platforming gameplay, but there was far too much collecting and at points the difficulty spikes were hard to take. Since DK64 we've had some less than spectacular releases, including the awful Donkey Kong Jet Race on the Wii. With Mario Galaxy being the only true 3D platformer of note in recent years, there's plenty of room for another classic Nintendo series to make a comeback. We just hope we don't have to collect as much stuff.
9. Pikmin
Pikmin might not have the AAA status of the likes of Mario, Zelda and Metroid, but its two GameCube games proved to be among the best on the console. Pikmin's simple RTS gameplay seems like a great fit for the Wii Remote and the Wii's improved online service should allow for some online multiplayer. The key to making a great Wii Pikmin will be how the controls are worked into the gameplay and what new elements they bring to the table. It's been a while since Pikmin 2, but fans will want more than a straightforward follow-up.

What the Hatter can only attribute to the combination of medicine to help a serious ailment and a stressful car accident, Panyushkin slowly but surely lost his hearing around the age of seven.
His ailment was cause for embarrassment as a child growing up around friends and classmates in his hometown of Moscow, Russia.
"When I was young I was embarrassed a little. That's why I grew my hair out," Panyushkin said of his efforts to hide his hearing aid.
These days he reads the lips of his coaches so well, and improved technology has made his hearing aid virtually unnoticeable that Panyushkin says the ailment does not negatively affect him anymore.
Rather, he has turned it into a positive. This summer Panyushkin took advantage of an opportunity to compete for his country in the 22nd Deaflympics in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Recognized by the International Olympic Committee since 1955, the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) provides sporting opportunities to deaf people around the world. The biggest event for the ICSD is the Deaflympics, which is held every four years.
Immediately following his freshman season with the Hatters this past spring, Panyushkin made a trip home to compete in the Russian Deaf National Championship. After winning that tournament, he earned a spot as his nation's representative in the Deaflympics.
He couldn't have been more excited about the opportunity.
"Russia puts the Olympics, the Paralympics, and the Deaflympics on the same level now," Panyushkin said, "so it's a big deal to the country if you perform well."
And perform well, he did. In a field of 50 athletes, Panyushkin advanced to the men's tennis quarterfinals before falling to France's Mikael Laurent. He eventually finished in fifth place overall.
"I was the youngest one, so the next time I can do even better," Panyushkin said of his likelihood of returning to the Deaflympics. "I have a chance to play in at least two more."
It wasn't just the competition that made the experience one to remember for the Stetson student-athlete. He also spoke fondly of the time he was able to spend with others like him.
He never spent time with other deaf children while growing up in Russia; he was always living a normal life, so Panyushkin never learned sign language. That changed at the Deaflympics.
"I learned the deaf language in one week," he said.
Although much slower at signing than his teammates, who had been doing it for years, Panyushkin cherished the opportunity to bond with them, and he can't wait to represent his country again in 2017.

I never realized how hard it would be to pick out valentines with a boy.
They don't care what the cards say. They only care what character is on the card and how much candy comes along with it!
My son's school has a friendship party and so I am trying to look for something that does not talk about love ... ahh!
It is even harder to create a card box for them to take to school.
When I was student teaching, the girls all came with very pink and glittery boxes that looked like they had taken hours or even days to prepare. The boys all just looked confused, curious why they couldn't just eat the candy and skip the box altogether!
There is a ton of stuff out there for girls, and I am excited for when that time comes with my daughter, but until then, I have come up with a few crafts (that Mom will have to complete most of!) to make Valentine's Day a little more boy-friendly.
Fish Valentines
These simple valentines are easy to make and only cost me $3 for 12 of them. I got the idea from my Family Fun magazine, and I have included their template for the water part of this craft.
Blue cardstock paper
Clear treat bags with ties
Swedish Fish candy (enough for 2-3 per person)
Using the template included, cut out enough water backgrounds for each valentine. Write the message, "I am glad you're in my school!" on each paper. Put the paper inside the clear treat bag, add the fish candy and tie them closed. You could also use Goldfish crackers in any flavor, if you wanted. I signed my son's name at the bottom of each card. You could use other sayings if you want like, "It's ofFISHal, I like you!"
Monster Valentines Box
This fun and easy valentines box is sure to get your boys involved in the craft. It should not cost you much either. Most of the supplies should be lying around the house!
Empty Kleenex box
Colored paper
White paper
Egg carton
Cut two sections out of the egg carton for the monster's eyes. You can glue googly eyes to them or just use markers to create eyeballs. Turn the Kleenex box on its side so the big top hole is in the front. Cover the box with colored or white paper and decorate in a monstery way. Glue the eyeballs to the top of the box. Next, use scissors to cut out teeth from the white paper that you will glue inside the opening. Make sure you leave room for the valentines to go in the box.
I hope this helps get your boys into the spirit of Valentines Day!
We'd love to see your kiddos' valentines or valentine boxes. Share pics with us at email@example.com.

Academic Quarters
You may or may not already know that RIT's academic year run's on a "Quarter System". We take classes during fall, winter, and spring quarters. Summer quarter offers classes but students are not required to take classes at that time. Most students will use the summer quarter to add flexibility to their co-op program.
Each quarter has 10 weeks of classes. 1 week for finals and at least 1 week for a break before the next quarter begins. This schedule makes for a fast-paced learning environment. While time management is a must-have, most of our students transition nicely into the quarter system work environment naturally. To be sure that the transition is smooth, each student at RIT is paired up with a First Year Enrichment Coach that assists in all aspects of the transition from high school to college life. Those who continue to struggle with time-management skills can get the one-on-one support they need on campus at our Academic Support Center .
Some advantages to the quarter system include SPEED and FLEXIBILITY. Having three different chances to choose classes each year is a huge advantage for a student who has many interests. The quarter system allows you to take more electives in different areas and really customize your major to your life and career goals. Likewise, it allows you to complete required courses (that lets face it- might not be exactly your cup of tea) in 10 weeks and you can then move on to something new!
A typical year looks like this:
Fall Quarter:
Begins: 1st week of September
Ends: The week before Thanksgiving
-------Break Week----------
Winter Quarter:
Begins: 1st week in December
-------2 week Holiday--------
Ends: Last week in February
-------Spring Break---------
Spring Quarter:
Begins: Mid March
Ends: Mid May
------Break for Summer-----
Optional summer courses June-August
See our 2008-2009 Academic Calendar here .

SheriseHmm...that's interesting to me, since my school did quarters too. It will remind me of my high school. Unlike this Brazilian high school I'm exchanging in with these trimesters.
Of course...I'd have to get admitted here first...

Beaumont/Port Arthur
My last two columns have been written with an eye toward a subject that has garnered much attention in the past few weeks. From media newscasts, radio broadcasts, special speakers and pastors and teachers, we have been hearing about the historic events unfolding more quickly with each day and night we live. One lady said to me on Sunday at my church that watching the national news at night was like listening to her old pastor preach many years ago.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

It seems like ideal casting (the Oscar winner is a financial backer of the trendy Spin table tennis nightspots) but the 67-year-old tells PEOPLE that when she was a teen, she was "kind of dorky," too.
"I was very awkward," she says. "Not cool at all." Years later, at her first high school reunion, she asked a former classmate why no one would ask her out for a date. "He said, 'Well everyone knew you weren't going to put out," she recounts. "And they were right. Probably. I was pretty shy."
Sarandon wishes there had been something like her classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show for her generation of geeky kids to bond over. "Too bad [it] wasn't around until later because I probably could have found like-minded souls there," she says. "I don't know if anything existed that would have helped me through but I'm glad I could provide help." Looking back, she says, "It's a miracle I survived without being too messed up."
Still, she admits there were benefits to blossoming a few years later. "I think a lot of kids peak in high school," she says, "but then where do you go?"
She's now completely comfortable in her skin – and totally candid. The actress admitted last December on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live that she'd often smoked weed before red carpet events, except at the Oscars.
"That whole thing of going stoned to every awards show, I wish that could have been possible," says Sarandon, "but no, that was an exaggeration." Still, she admits there was only one negative: "The only down side I can think of with weed is the munchies," she says, "And I don't handle them, I munch."
"Awards show are four hours long," she explains. "So by the time you even get through the red carpet, unfortunately, you're not high anymore. But your blood sugar drops and they would do very well to pass out munchies. I remember one time sitting in front of Seal at a very long show and he was passing out little snacks, which was very helpful."

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
Amid a recent confluence of financial woes, the Southern Ute Cultural Center & Museum is basking in the glow of an announcement this month naming it the top history museum of the year by True West Magazine.
�Winning the award puts us in the spotlight,� said Lynn Brittner, the Ignacio museum�s executive director. �It�s a once-in-a-lifetime award.�
The magazine named the cultural museum the No. 1 History Museum of the Year in its September 2012 issue. The magazine is dedicated to �preserving the American West� by presenting true stories of Old West adventure, history, culture and preservation.
�The museum has been in theworks for 20 years. To see it in its final glory was jaw-dropping,� the magazine�s executive editor Bob Boze Bell said. He pointed to the museum�s massive oral history collection as one aspect that put it above the �dozens and dozens� of other facilities the magazine considered for the award.
The museum opened last year in a brand new 52,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility.
The award validates the museum�s hard work and its continued high quality, even as it faces the task of cutting operating and maintenance costs in the face of a budget shortfall, Brittner said.
�It�s a boost for the tribe � people are understanding how important this history is to this area,� Brittner said. �I think we�re doing everything right.�
Brittner also expected True West�s recognition to provide a welcome advantage to the museum as it continues to seek grants and other funding in the future.
Such a boost will be especially crucial as the museum works through the shortfall caused by unanticipated expenses and lower-than-expected financial support from grants, foundations and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe.
Operating and maintenance costs for the museum building and 8 acres of surrounding property add up to $350,000 annually, which is much higher than museum officials were expecting, Brittner said. The museum�s total annual operating budget is $1.2 million, she said, adding that the organization needs to raise at least a few hundred thousand dollars more to make it through the rest of the year.
Since it opened, the museum has raised more than $500,000 through grants and donations, including a recent $150,000 Museums for America grant. But many grants are tied to specific programs and don�t cover operations, Brittner said.
The tribe also contributes $700,000 annually and approved a $1 million subsidy to the museum for its first year, according to tribal documents.
The tribe�s financial support has divided some within its membership. Some argue the museum should be self-sufficient, while others say the tribe�s support is necessary for the museum�s initial years.
�We wanted at least three years to have help (from the tribe). By then we would have our endowment, which would take care of maintenance and operations of the museum,� said Jim Jefferson, a tribal member who has worked on many aspects of the museum since the 1960s.
In a contract negotiated last year, the tribe agreed to provide two more years of funding to the museum.
From her perspective, Brittner said the museum will need continued tribal support.
�Without the tribe or some other partner like the Smithsonian or the Colorado Historical Society, we won�t make it,� she said.

Additional Information:
Installing MX-14 onto a system with /home on a separate partition or drive and selecting the same login name as an existing account (re-using the name) causes loss of all MX theme and panel customisations. On first run, the user is asked if they want an empty or default panel.
I have gone to great lengths to test and verify this, even to the point of ensuring all config folders and files that match those in MX-14's /etc/skel are removed from the old login account before installing and still get the same result. Furthermore, I removed everything but the users Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music and Videos folders and I still get the same result, a basic desktop with no MX theme or customisations and 2 panels. I have confirmed this by repeating this same process on 3 entirely different machines, each one with a totally different version of Linux than the first and each time, I backed up the users config and killed everything but the data folders. This happens only when re-using a login name, not when using a different login name while saving /home.
I have tried with Beta2 and the final CD, and both via Live-USB, plus my own remastered version, all exhibit the same issue and I always check the md5sums to make sure I have a good download and good media first.
MX desktop & panel settings lost when reusing /home
Do data files (like pics and music) get lost too?
If I recall some forum posts correctly, the installer actually renames the demo account to whatever user account you specify at the end of the installation. Something is obviously screwy in whatever sync process goes on between the existing /home and the new user /home.
I don't get this, at least in
I don't get this, at least in testing in VirtualBox, but I may be misunderstanding what you did.
I installed MX-14 to VB choosing root on sda1 and /home on sda3. username was qwe.
Reboot, mess around with panel by adding some new items, removing others. Added some files etc.
Installed MX-14 to VB, root on sda1 and home on sda3. Used preserve home option. When it came to setting up username, I chose qwe (and the same password). I was then prompted to keep old settings since qwe already existed. I replied yes. I reboot to a desktop with the changes I had made and the files I added in place.
Starting with a different DE, that fault persists
Example, my file server running antiX had a major lockup yesterday, my 15GB / partition ran out of space with the log files growing to 11.6GB, so I thought, what the heck, put MX on it, this was my third machine that I found the same issue on where /home is on a different partition and I elected to save it, for very good reasons, given it had all my work backups etc on it.
First install, choose to re-use home and re-use the existing login name. The installer asked if I'd like to re-use the michael folder to which I replied yes. On first login, no MX user settings, blank canvas so to speak but all other files and folders intact. Reboot with Live-CD copy over files from /etc/skel to my home folder, reboot, no change. Repeat, but this time remove all config files of every sort as none of them were really needed, re-copy /etc/skel to my home, reboot and only a few items changed, such as the right click menu in Thunar had the actions in it this time but still no MX customisations, 2 panels and no customisations. I have set up the panel manually, but there remains the other things like theme colours etc and the simple menu auto-focus when moving the mouse down the category list from the MX menu is not happening, I have to click on the categories to view the contents.
My first experience with this was from a system running KDE, my second was from a system running Mint MATE and my third was from antiX, all different DE, all the same result, no MX polish :(
So you are talking about
So you are talking about different OS and different de/wm from MX-14. No wonder it didn't work.
If you use the same username for /home from another de/wm, of course it will use the config files from that de/wm because you are prompted with that question.
What you should do is save all your /home config files to a stick/cd or whatever and overwrite the old /home. Once installed, just copy back your customised /home changes.
OK, so do other distros do this differently? For example does installing Mint MATE (since you mention it) and saving MX-14 home work?
That is why I removed ALL of the user configs....
The issue still prevails when I remove ALL the configs and re-install or re-copy the contents of /etc/skel into the user folder, so theoretically, having no configs should ensure no faults, but it hasn't on the 3 computers I have worked on, henceforth, I am reporting what I believe to be a bug. I have already stated twice in my earlier posts that removing the configs is one of the steps I tried, and that includes doing a fresh install with NO configs remaining in the users folder before running the installer and re-using the existing folder.
For my file server, I ended up taking my backup drive which I maintain with LuckyBackup from my own laptop and copying the configs from that to the installed system using a live-USB and it works, but it hasn't worked when I take it from the /etc/skel of the various Live-Media I have tried, even though the downloads and the created media all check out as perfect.
The Mepis installer should be overwriting the contents of the .config and .local folders when the user chooses to re-use their home folder, but from what I have seen, it either doesn't, or it doesn't do it very well. The files are there, but for some reason, they just didn't work for me.
4-5 years back, with KDE3 I recall doing the same thing and the Mepis installer did what I described above, it overwrote the configs particular to its setup and left all the other ones not included in the /etc/skel of the live-media untouched, so the DE worked just fine.
If I see it again, I will take a snapshot of the resultant files and run a diff against a fresh install to see what/if there is any difference. I thought about it last night, but it was already past midnight as I was on my third reinstall and I needed to get some shuteye.
Please test this out with
Please test this out with another OS to see if and how they do it. ie install MX then install Mint MATE and save user home. Just to test if it works,
Ok, try this (I do appreciate
Ok, try this (I do appreciate the feedback even though I feel it is not a bug, but an issue or request).
When installing, choose preserve home option at screen 3.
At screen 8 after using the same user name, at the first popup answer No and the next one yes.
If that works, then the issue is one of improving the prompt instructions,
Amicable work-around
I used the login as owner. your suggestion above simply renames the original owner folder and creates a new folder, which enables the installer to be set up with its own defaults, however, I would have thought the installer should be asking the user if they would like to use the new configs or leave them as they are. I can see points both for an against the options, but maybe the user should be given the option when they choose to re-use their home folder because if a user is intending to re-use their home folder then it's most likely they will be desiring to have the MX customisations.
We added the code to copy
We added the code to copy (but not overwrite) the config files from /etc/skel when preserving home.

FOSTORIA - Calvert's boys won four races and had top-four finishes in a few other events Saturday to outlast Fostoria 91-88 1/2 for the St. Wendelin Invitational championship.
The Senecas locked up the title in the day's final event, with Dan Reineke, Donavon Stith, Michael Smith and Joe Boehler taking second in the 4x400 (3:48.7).
Fostoria's C.J. Matheney, Rowyn Schneider, Tony Mauricio and Rayshon Martin won the relay (3:43.58) by a little more than five seconds, but the Redmen needed Calvert to finish no better than fourth in order to have a shot at the team title.

Top Definition
Metal head - Group of musical listeners that are often described as drunkards, partiers, and fighters, but this is a bit of a stereotype. Metal heads often listen to classic rock along with blues rock, classical, and opera based music, since those 2 genres are the root of what rock music could be considered today and the dawn of all music. Metal heads tend to have a powerful dislike towards the close-minded and mainstream. The majority tend to be very liberal and anti-conservative, but not all of course. Metal lyrics are often quite political and have more meaning than what people say. Metal music is very often stereotyped as " satanic devil related material" . This is the worst stereotype of them all and the reason many don't give metal a chance. Metal lyrics also deal with independence, pride, and free will. The metal genre has more sub-genres that any other musical genre existing today. These genres are often known as classic metal, death metal, black metal, grind core, thrash metal, symphonic metal, opera metal, folk metal, Viking metal, industrial metal, progressive metal, power metal, etc etc. All are tied together in the same branch and all kick ass if I do say so myself. Way back when there was a rivalry between punks, metal heads, and skinheads. This rivalry has long since dwindled out and people have matured today ( for the most part ) . There is no particular attire, metal heads tend to dress however they damn well please and this is great. But many people believe the attire to be faded blue jeans with black band tee-shirts. Long and/or wavy type hair style usually passing the eyes. Metal heads don't give a shit about what's trendy or what other people wear and allow people to dress and express themselves as they please without bitching about it like many " new generation punk rockers" do today.
I have blabed on long enough on what I believe is the deffiniton of " metal head" .
Old-school punk kicks ass, but what's all this emo/screamo/pop-punk shit. * Sigh * Kids these days.

Can you define these popular missing words?
a dedicated listener to any kind of metal music. is thouht to be angry and violent and evil, but is less likely to kill than a rapper. DOES NOT require the hair or gear, but must respect the genre for its music and not its image.
metalhead: james, the 40-year-old who lives and breathes music, but has a loving family, kids and is no longer an alcoholic.
retard trying to capitalise on the image: fred, the 24-year-old wannabee metalhead who thinks korn are heavy, and believes that rap has a place in metal.

All these definitions are bullshit. Metalheads do NOT follow a specific look or all listen to the same bands. What's considered "metal" is so diverse and open ended that there are tons of different types of metal heads. You've got your mainstream nu-metal/metalcore, thrash, death, black, power, grind, all of that kind of stuff, and everybody enjoys different kinds of metal outside of the mainstream metalheads and perceptions of them. You don't have to exclusively listen to Slayer, Metallica, or Cannibal Corpse. Hell, you don't even have to like any of the "classic" bands. You don't need to be a long haired, dim-witted delinquent either. Or drink/do drugs. You can dress however you want; you wouldn't be able to tell some metalheads apart from people who despise metal because they look the same. As long as you like some form of the metal spectrum, it's all good.
listen to whatever you like and don't be bound to to supposed "mandatory" metalhead bands. Explore as much metal as possible.

A very small ammount of people fit into this category. Your average highschool would have four or less of them at most, seeing as most people who listen to "metal" actually listen to Alt. Rock/Nu metal. Metalheads are usually spotted by their looks. Usually denim jeans (Blue or black), band shirts, long hair/shaved hair, etc. The metalheads truely are the stupidest group of people to pick a fight with, we may be the quiet type, but metalheads could easilly wipe out multiple kids, and have a short temper that goes along with that. The metal culture however has dropped quite a bit, seeing as how the "hip" thing is to listen to rap or numetal.
Real metal bands: Iced Earth, Judas Priest, Amon Amarth, Bathory, Morbid Angel, Manegarm, Hammerfall, Blind Guardian, Burzum, Borknagar, Emperor, Immortal, Einherjer, Finntroll, etc
NOT metal bands: Korn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Godsmack, Limp Bizkit, etc
