W.Va. education agencies in spotlight
February 18, 2013
CHARLESTON — A network of West Virginia educational offices with a rocky history may play a major role in the ongoing push to improve the state's public schools....
RESA is everything that is wrong with public education. One administrator for every teacher is the opitomy of waste. Millions of dollars wasted on technology that the employees have no idea how to use because Resa can't train them, because Resa doesn't know how to use them either. Take a good look at the areas of 'support' that read provides. Resa has a solid history of wasteful spending, and they also have a solid history of working hand in hand with the dhhr, who also have a solid history of wasteful spending. CUT ALL FUNDING TO RESA AND DISMANTLE THIS FAILURE OF AN ORGANIZATION.

"Would you be surprised to hear that the human race is slowly becoming dumber, and dumber? Despite our advancements over the last tens or even hundreds of years, some 'experts' believe that humans are losing cognitive capabilities and becoming more emotionally unstable. One Stanford University researcher and geneticist, Dr. Gerald Crabtree, believes that our intellectual decline as a race has much to do with adverse genetic mutations."
I am not surprised in the least. This only lends credence to what others and I have been saying as how this country could elect someone like Obama.

"His agenda includes training elementary school teachers to ensure third-graders finish the year reading at grade level - a key goal announced in last week's State of the State address" As a former K and 1st grade teacher, this comment continues to bother me. Reading, learning your letters, to recognize your name, putting simple sentences together etc. begins in Kindergarten and the reading skills build from there. Why is waiting until third grade being recommended? Aren't all elementary teachers already trained to teach reading, to spot a child who is having problems and deal with it? If a student is having difficulties learning to read or can't read in first and second grade how do they make it to third grade? I guess in WV this item on the agenda is better than nothing.

Per below, you have to wonder who the bigot really is when a writer is calling others names, and not focusing on failed programs that waste our tax dollars. Leave the personal attacks and emotions out of it. After 50 years of taxes and levys and our system is still about last, an objective person would have to think that State sponsored education has failed and it is time to move on. The first step is to get rid of the teachers unions and State staff that our tax dollars pay that prop up this terrible system.

It's quite evident RESA's made a major impact on the quality of education. After all we have descended to and continue to hover around last place in the ability to educate our children. If the proofs "is in the pudding" then by any measuring stick they have been worthless. We need to get rid of "government schools" and get back to "public schools" ran by parents.

Majoritarian you're a bigot. 'Lifestyle promotion tours?' Find something more constructive to do with your life like pulling the wings off of the flies that buzz the GOP whine festivals. The state's children need positive role models to emulate not the train wrecks you and 'Buckwild' offer. Invite successful business-people, artists, musicians, professional types, and yes even politicians into the classrooms for a 'Meet the Future' series of lectures. RESA can assist with that type of program. Ross Ballard...(No Screen Names - Own Your Words)

Look over the schedule for Daemen basketball and it reads like, well, a crazy travel itinerary.
Both the men's and women's teams have played all over the map this season, grabbing games wherever they could. They played in Indiana and Ohio. Traveled to Florida, West Virginia and Maine. They had just 12 home games all season and only one after the first of the year.
They knew they'd take some scheduling lumps this season. It's part of the transition for Daemen's athletic department into the NCAA Division II fold. This year, known as Candidacy Year 1, means the Wildcats are playing without a league. They joined the United States Collegiate Athletic Conference (USCAA), a small national organization of colleges, in order to give their student-athletes post-season opportunities.
The bottom line — the Wildcats just keep winning.
The women are wrapping up their 11th straight 20-win season. With a 20-6 mark they are ranked No. 1 in the nation in the USCAA coaches' poll.
The men are ranked third with a 22-5 mark.
Oh, and for the record, Daemen won three national titles in the USCAA in the fall — men's golf, women's soccer and women's volleyball.
For all the chaos of transition, the Wildcats are doing just fine.
"They were faced with adversity from the word go with the schedule," Daemen Athletic Director Bill Morris said. "We had to put together a schedule with enough home games to generate some fan interest but we were also at everyone's disposal and had to go on the road a lot. ... And they've done fantastic facing that adversity. They continue to play at a high level no matter who we're playing."
The women's team has a history of success at the NAIA level, advancing to the national tournament multiple times.
Playing as an independent this season hasn't changed much on the court. Daemen is averaging 75.7 points a game and holding opponents to just 58. Three players are averaging double figures — Monica Kosior (13.5), Chelsea Andorka (12.8) and Sweet Home alum Ellie Allen (12.3). Lindsay Stoddard (Allegany-Limestone) is averaging 5.4 assists. And the assists are an even bigger story. The team is averaging 19.9 assists a game.
"We're a very balanced team," Daemen coach Dave Skolen said. "This is one of the most balanced teams I've had. We have six players who on any night could be our best player. We're a team that when we're playing with a lot of energy, we're tough to beat. The few times when we didn't play well it was because we didn't come with energy. We want to play very fast, even in the half court set, move the ball quickly and push the tempo."
Pushing the tempo is something the men's team has excelled at. The Wildcats are averaging 90.6 points a game with five players averaging double figures. Coach Don Silveri said it's a fun group to watch play, though sometimes the defense isn't exactly where he'd like it to be.
"We're sharing the ball really well," Silveri said. "They just have fun playing with one another. They share the ball and it's fun to watch. All things considered, sometimes I get a little upset with us defensively, but when you're averaging 90 points a game, you tend to give up a little more."
Casey Sheehan leads the Wildcats in scoring (15.3) followed by Gerald Beverly (14.4), Nichols graduate Jim Regan (12.7), Jordan Green (11.5) and Kadeem Johnson (10.2).
Daemen has three regular season games remaining, all on the road, before the beginning of the national USCAA tournament. Next academic year as they enter Candidacy Year 2 for NCAA Division II, the Wildcats will have a conference to play in. The East Coast Conference has accepted Daemen and the Wildcats will play a full conference schedule next season, though they will be ineligible for post-season titles.
But for right now, there are still national championships to play for and both basketball teams will head to Uniontown, Pa., for their postseason tournament Feb. 26-March 2. While the USCAA is small (there are only about 90 schools in the organization) don't discount the accomplishment or the quality of competition.
"It doesn't matter what the organization is, what the tournament is," Morris said. "A national championship is a national championship. You still have to win the games."
Indoor track honors
Both Buffalo State and the University at Buffalo picked up weekly honors for indoor track and field performances.
Buffalo State senior sprinter Sasha Henry was named SUNYAC Women's Runner of the Week after winning the 60-meter dash in 7.67 seconds at the Youngstown State Invitational. She knocked off competition from Division I schools to get the win and her time was the second fastest in Division III this season.
Meanwhile UB shot putter Jonathan Jones (Portville) was named the Mid-American Conference Men's Field Athlete of the Week. He finished second in the shot put at the SPIRE Midwest Open. His throw of 60 feet 8.5 inches was the 12th best in the nation this year. Jones finished second to former UB All-American Rob Golabek, who was competing with the Syracuse Chargers club.
The Bulls men's and women's teams combined to win a total of eight events at the SPIRE Midwest Open. There was no team scoring.

Also known as Asian Flush, Asian Blush, Asian Sensation, Asian Explosion, it's the condition almost 50% of Asian people suffer from due to inability to process alcohol, in which their face becomes bright red, their heartbeat increases rapidly, and they start making homosexual advances on people they know (and sometimes strangers).
"Did you see Cameron? One drink and...Red Panda."

A type of bet made for the exchange of oral sex the bet winner has the ability to use this red panda at any moment anytime and the loser must perform immediately. no questions asked. before agreeing to this bet all parties understand that the rules of this bet cannot be alterred.
During a heated argument about wildlife the 2 people were so sure of themselves, 100 percent sure, that they made a red panda bet. it is said after years its still owned by the winner and is waiting for the perfect moment.
by lowflyingmighty December 06, 2013
A Red Panda is the name of a sex move in which you have sex with an asian chick on her period. Right as you are about to cum you pull out and hit her in the eyes (giving her the telltale rings around the eyes that pandas have). She must be asian, because like her, pandas are from the orient. All though the proper way to perform this is while the female is on her period it can still occur while she is not ovulating.
I totally gave this chick a Red Panda last night.

MIFFLINTOWN - It's all about a fair trade.
The 18th annual Juniata Valley International Gifts Sale will be held Nov. 16 to 17 at Cedar Grove Brethren in Christ Church in Mifflintown.
Patrons can visit from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Deb Richmond sets up a jewelry display at the 2011 International Gifts Sale in Mifflintown.
The mission statement of the sale is to "support world artisans and craftsmen through the sale of fair trade products" and to "promote cultural understanding in our community by providing high-quality gift items from around the world."
Items for sale include Christmas ornaments, an expanded selection of jewelry items, baskets, household items, toys, musical instruments, soaps, decorative boxes and candles, and international foods like jams, coffees, and chocolates.
Deb Richmond helps organize the event and said this year new jewelry items have been added from the group known as Women at Risk International.
"The purpose of this international organization is to 'give voice to the silenced cries of the oppressed, wrap arms of love around them, and whisper messages of purpose and dignity into their brokenness. Through culturally sensitive, value-added intervention projects and programs, WAR International offers these women and children an opportunity to live life with dignity.' The WAR organization also sponsors WAR parties that function much like other home parties where guests are invited to view and order products," Richmond said.
The name of the sale was changed to promote a community-feel and an outreach. Richmond noted, "We wanted the sale to be a community event rather than be centered in one congregation or organization. One of our planning team members, Judy Mummau, created a web site that features each of the four vendors whose items will be for sale this year. In previous years, we sold items from Ten Thousand Villages and SERRV. Last year, we added some new items and vendors such as BeadForLife, an organization that helps women in Uganda to become self-supporting artisans."

Banking the Poor Through Everyday Stores

Innovations, Vol. 6, No. 1, Spring 2011
This paper reviews the opportunities and strategic choices facing banks considering branchless banking options. Technology, and in particular the spread of real-time mobile communications networks, permits financial service providers to delegate 'last mile' cash management and customer servicing functions to third-party retail outlets. By making basic deposit, withdrawal, and payment functions available securely through retail shops that exist in every village and neighborhood, there is an opportunity to dramatically increase the physical footprint of financial service providers in developing countries and to transform the basic economics of low-balance savings.

An undefinable girl. No words, lyrics, poems or stories could describe how outragously gorgeous this girl is. She is one of a kind, and there is only one true Meagan. She lights up a room with her stunning smile and her big brown eyes look sweetly and kindly to you. She had determination like no other and strives for what her heart wants , you cant stop her from chassing her dreams. She is wise and intelligent with the way she speaks and acts. Losing her would be the biggest mistake of your life, for she is the bestest friend you will ever have. When you look at her you cant help but feel so happy :) She listens, she understands, she loves more than anyone you will ever know. Since theres only one true meagan, finding her is hard so look to where to you see the sun since she is the brighest warmest hearted person.

To the editor:
I saw my Democrat friend the other day. "How did you like the election?" he asked.
"Not much," I said.
"Well, it was a victory for working men and women."
I looked at him. "You know, you people shouldn't call yourselves the Democratic Party. You should call yourselves the New Year's Eve Party. You love all these government handouts, but when the waiter comes with the bill, you just say, 'Put it on my tab.' Then, after midnight, when the party's over and the bills have to be paid, you tell the waiter that those rich guys at the next table will pay your tab - which shows you've had too much to drink."
"Wait a minute," he answered, "don't get mad. Those guys can afford it and I think that would be social justice."
"I'm not mad at you," I said, "I just feel sorry for you."
"Sorry for me? For what?"
"You just don't get it, do you?"
"Get what?"
"Never mind."

Last year, Penn State was fined $60 million, banned from bowl games for four years and had scholarships taken away after former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted of molesting boys on campus. The sanctions, handed down by the NCAA, added up to a mountain of money.
Last week, the university began negotiations with representatives of the victims with the idea financial settlements could be reached. How anyone determines the cost of sexual abuse isn't clear. Is there a formula for such sordidness? I would imagine the greater the abuse, the higher the price tag, although pain and suffering lasts a lifetime.
Sandusky is alive, for now, spending however many years he has remaining in his miserable life in a 9-by-12 foot cell that's twice the size he deserves. To say the world is a better place with him removed from society is being much too kind. Sandusky is a monster who will someday serve a greater sentence.
At least he had his day in court.
Joe Paterno did not.
Paterno died without ever fully explaining his role in the Sandusky scandal, without ever getting his due process. He was convicted in the Court of Public Opinion of covering up the scandal, based on a report from former FBI investigator Louis Freeh. The NCAA handed down its sanctions based on Freeh's findings after a lengthy investigation.
Legal experts and lawmakers have lined up to poke holes into the Freeh Report, claiming it was flawed and incomplete. Former Gov. Dick Thornburgh, a former attorney general, is among the people who have questioned the Freeh Report. He joined Paterno's family, which all along complained about an overall rush to judgment.
In fact, they could be right.
Paterno admitted that he wished he would have done more to prevent Sandusky's crimes. It was all so easy to see after the fact. Was it possible that Paterno really was the Average Joe that he portrayed? Could it be that he was fooled like others with greater expertise? Was he a naive old man who failed to comprehend such atrocities?
Yes, it is possible, but we'll never know.
Sandusky was an adoptive parent who passed through a screening process. He fooled psychologists into thinking children would be safe under his watch. Jim Clemente, a retired sex-crime expert for the FBI, suggested on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" with Bob Ley that Sandusky was among the top 1 percent of master manipulators.
If Sandusky could convince psychologists he was a fit for children, why should a college football coach know otherwise? It has been widely reported that assistant coach Mike McQueary told Paterno about the molestation. Paterno told investigators that he heard about Sandusky "horsing around" with boys in the shower, whatever that meant.
Only two people know exactly what McQueary said to his coach. One of them is dead.
The intent here isn't to absolve Paterno. The slightest allegation of sexual misconduct occurring on campus should have prompted him to call authorities and demand a full investigation. He should have been persistent until all questions were answered, even after relaying what he had heard to Athletic Director Tim Curley.
Instead, the abuse continued.
Nobody will ever know exactly told McQueary told Paterno or exactly what Paterno told Curley or exactly what Curley told former Penn State President Graham Spanier. It's not for me to say exactly what exactly happened or who was involved in a possible cover-up. We'll probably never have all of the facts.
In our desperation for action, in our 24/7 news cycle, our society demanded answers to questions. But we failed to question the answers we were given. Penalties were handed down based on a report that some believe was suspect. Will there be another report poking holes in the Paterno Report, which poked holes in the Freeh Report?
We're not sure who to believe, anymore. It goes back to trust, and mistrust, which was the core of the problem from the crimes committed to the allegations that followed to how the scandal unfolded to how it was handled.
In the end, children endured years of sexual abuse, a once-proud university has been shamed and a legendary coach's reputation has been forever tarnished. Everybody has a price, as they say, but no dollar amount can justify the expense.
Chemistry lesson
Are the Celtics better off without Rajon Rondo?
That suggestion sounded ludicrous when he suffered a season-ending knee injury, but it started to make sense during their seven-game winning streak without him. The streak was snapped by a loss to the lowly Bobcats, a defeat that came one night after an emotional, triple-overtime victory at home over Denver.
Rondo for years has been criticized for his immaturity and coarse personality, and it appears his absence has improved chemistry. The Celtics are sharing the ball more and playing better defense without him. Jason Terry had a season-high 26 points in the victory over the Nuggets.
Celtics fans shouldn't get too excited. Three of the seven wins came against Sacramento, Orlando and Toronto, which were 48 games under .500 on Tuesday. Boston won two other home games over the Clippers, who were without Chris Paul, and the Lakers, who were without Pau Gasol.
Denver had won 15 of 17 games, including nine straight, but they were 11-15 on the road before falling in Boston. The Celtics' other win was over Miami.
Piazza denies rumors
Mike Piazza, in an autobiography released Tuesday, admitted using androstenedione and an amphetamine but continued denying using steroids. We'll see if it changes the minds of baseball writers who apparently don't believe him.
Piazza was one of the best-hitting catchers in history. He was a 12-time all-star in a career that produced a .308 batting average, 427 homers and 1,335 RBIs. He likely would have been inducted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot if he didn't play in the steroid era.
Instead, with 57.8 percent of the vote, he was well short of the 75 percent needed.
"I was into power, not prison," Piazza said in the book, according to the New York Post. The Post obtained excerpts of the book.
Piazza also claimed he took karate lessons and hatched a plan in which he would fight Roger Clemens after the infamous incident in which Clemens threw the remains of a broken bat in Piazza's direction. Piazza worried, however, about getting his fanny kicked by Clemens before a full stadium.
He also acknowledged experiencing tension with Latin players, particularly during his days with the Dodgers. He said it was "some kind of weird Hispanic conspiracy against me, almost like a secret brotherhood, a Latin mafia-type of thing."
Olympics or X-Games?
The International Olympic Committee appears to be moving away from its origins so much that you wonder what will remain in the next 20 years.
The governing body's latest decision was eliminating wrestling, a premier event when the modern day games began in 1896, in 2020.
"It's the IOC trying to change the Olympics to make it more mainstream and more viewer-friendly instead of sticking to what they founded the Olympics on," former U.S. heavyweight Rulan Gardner, who became a star after beating Russian Alexander Karelin in 2000, told the Associated Press. "And that was basically amateur sports."
Other sports, such as softball and baseball, were eliminated because not enough countries could compete for a medal.
Wrestling has been competitive for centuries. Twenty-nine countries won wrestling medals in London. Dumping the sport makes almost no sense to traditionalists.
The IOC in recent years has been pushing for more X Games-style events that attract younger fans. The Summer Games now include BMX racing and mountain biking, for example, while the Winter Games added several freestyle skiing events to complement its traditional alpine competition.
"I assume Pegula doesn't spend 16 hours re-drilling a dry well. Why's he doing that with Darcy and Lindy?"
Stats Inc.
10 – Consecutive rounds in which Brandt Snedeker has shot in the 60s en route to two second-place finishes and a win at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
55 – Shots made by LeBron James, in 77 attempts, including nine of 13 from three-point range during the Heat's five-game winning streak.
2 – Goals scored by Scott Gomez in 76 games going back to the 2010-11 season before the Sharks' center played the Predators on Tuesday night.
Quick Hits
• The Bills' decision to waive veterans George Wilson and Nick Barnett says plenty about just how bad their defense was last season. Both had lost a step in recent years and still were the top two tacklers on the team. Here's hoping they left behind a few quotes when packing up their belongings.
• As if Vince Young's money problems couldn't get any worse, his former financial advisor testified that he arranged a $300,000 loan for the quarterback to throw himself a birthday party in 2011. Clearly, it didn't dawn on the financial advisor that securing a big loan for a party wasn't very sound financial advice.
• Predicted order of finish in the AL East: Blue Jays, Rays, Orioles, Red Sox, Yankees.

on September 10, 2012 - 6:00 AM
When we bought our beloved house, our bathroom looked like it had been preserved in a time capsule from the 1950s. It was beautifully maintained, but covered in pink tile and flowered wallpaper and had light fixtures that looked like something out of Graceland.
I asked my interior design whiz friend, Jimmy, for advice. He said, "I suggest a match and some lighter fluid. If the first match doesn't strike, you may need two matches."
Thanks, Jimmy.
Inspired by SaveThePinkBathrooms.com, I decided instead to embrace its retro tile, which is coming back into fashion. I took down the wallpaper and bought a can of pastel pink paint, which counter-intuitively grounded the tile and gave it a less shocking salmon hue.
I also removed the giant globes from the light fixture (which actually gives off great, very flattering light) and used a can of white spray paint to paint the base and the chains they were hanging from.
I didn't even take it down, I left it right in the ceiling, and left the chains in their little hooks, and held a piece of cardboard up to keep the paint from landing anywhere I didn't want it.
The result, in my opinion, looks fresh, simple and romantic (you be the judge-check out pictures at www.Facebook.com/DiscountDiva).
Now, when I feel like shopping for housewares, I pick up a can of white paint and dig through my basement, the garbage or garage sales. Paint is like a makeover in a can. It's a cheap and easy way to transform things and make them look like brand new. It's especially helpful in achieving that glamorous, Hollywood regency style that is so in vogue right now.
One $30 gallon of paint helped me stock the baby's room with a gleaming new dresser, sidetable and toy box.
I had these god-awful rococo candlesticks I found in my dad's attic, complete with fake brass leaves, but a blast of white spray paint brought them into the 21st century and made them so pretty I could cry. I've done the same with late-baroque-style mirrors and picture frames with stunning results.
If you look for me in this space next week, you won't find me. I'll also disappear for a bit from the inside pages with my "Keeping You MoneySmart" tip of the day.
I'm due to have my second little girl Sept. 25, and so I will spend the next few months on maternity leave.
Please feel free to keep e-mailing questions, tips and story ideas while I'm gone. I will likely be sleep deprived when I return and will need all the help I can get!

Advanced Imaging Technology is a strip search.
Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) is also known as Whole Body Imaging (WBI). This technology uses radiation to penetrate a person's clothes and create a nude image of the person. This technology is used to determine whether or not a person has hidden items under clothing. The TSA considers the images produced by AIT to be "family friendly". The image above is from an AIT scan of a man named John Wild using backscatter X-ray. This image is a low-resolution copy of the original, so it does not show as much detail as the original. Do you consider this image family friendly?
These images are generated using radiation, either from a backscatter X-ray or millimeter wave device. Scientists and researches are already questioning the safety of irradiating thousands of people per day at every airport in the country. Several University of California, San Francisco faculty members delivered a letter of concern to the TSA noting that the comparison of backscatter X-ray machine dosage to "cosmic ray exposure inherent to airplane travel or that of a chest X-ray" is "very misleading" and have noted that "real independent safety data do not exist".

In a moment of weakness I told Noah we could get Blizzards later. I just wanted to get through the thrift store with all four kids and pay and he had found a Blizzard maker for $12.99. That is way too much for Goodwill, dude. So of course tonight when I collapsed onto my bed he was kind enough to remind me of my promise. I went, because if there's one thing I am consistent about it's keeping my kids' promises. And also they would never let me off the hook anyway.
I think for a long time I mistakenly thought my anxiety to be normal, you know, it's just part of the package as a mother of four kids. That constant sense of urgency. There is no rest, there is much to be done, there is exhaustion and no option to be weak about it. This is just how it goes, this is what I signed up for. That kind of thing.
I'm still playing catch up from the lice incident almost three months ago. I'm not certain I'll ever fully recover.
I dare say I'd like to buy one of those trendy party banners on etsy in white, hang them across my front porch, in surrender. A string of white flags flapping for everyone to see because I don't care if they know the truth and I need their mercy.
We drove by the house today and Barn Cat was sitting outside on the window ledge and he looked right at me.

Fit-again Collingwood boosts Durham
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Durham have named Paul Collingwood in their squad for the crucial Clydesdale Bank 40 Group B clash with Hampshire.
The 36-year-old all-rounder has completed his rehabilitation from a broken hand sustained last month and will hope to feature at the Ageas Bowl ahead of taking over the captaincy in next week's vital LV= County Championship Division One match at Sussex.
The Dynamos are set to hand Johann Myburgh a 40-over debut against his former club after a number of impressive performances in the Friends Life t20 saw him awarded a contract at the Emirates Durham ICG until the end of the season.
Mark Wood makes the cut after fellow seamer Liam Plunkett was ruled out with an Achilles problem.
The second-placed hosts are currently three points ahead of Durham having played a game more, with Surrey hoping to stretch their lead at the top as they play Nottinghamshire at Guildford.
Surrey, led by Gareth Batty, have rested Chris Tremlett while Notts have included Darren Pattinson, Jake Ball, Steven Mullaney and Graeme White in their party, with Andre Adams and Ben Phillips making way.
Bottom-of-the-table Somerset go in search of their first win of the campaign against Scotland at Taunton.
Somerset were hopeful Albie Morkel, originally signed for the FLt20, would be able to feature in the 40-over format, only to see the all-rounder called up to South Africa's squad for the Investec Test series against England as cover for the injured Marchant de Lange.
The Saltires are without captain Gordon Drummond due to work commitments, leaving Preston Mommsen with the task of leading the side.
Essex, with just one triumph in five outings, have England batsman Ravi Bopara and Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh at their disposal at Cheltenham as they look to reignite their disappointing Group A campaign against third-placed Gloucestershire, who are boosted by the availability of seamer James Fuller and all-rounder Jack Taylor.
Middlesex, boasting the services of England batsman Eoin Morgan, will look to close the gap on runaway leaders Netherlands as they welcome Leicestershire to Uxbridge.
The visitors remain bottom of the group despite claiming their first win in six games against the Dutch on Wednesday.
Second-bottom Derbyshire, likely to hand the gloves to new loan signing Richard Johnson due to the absence of injured wicketkeeper Tom Poynton, were denied the chance of beating winless Northamptonshire by the wet weather yesterday, but will attempt to move above the Unicorns in Group C when they square off at Chesterfield.

WPU Lunch & Learn Series: Valerie G. Hall, Ph.D.
Main Parlor, 1st Floor Main Building
Wed Oct 16th, 2013
12:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.
WOMEN AT WORK 1860-1939: How Different Industries Shaped Women's Experiences
William Peace University is delighted to welcome back Valerie G. Hall, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, to William Peace University to present at the October Lunch & Learn Series event.
Dr. Hall's book, "Women at Work 1860-1939: How Different Industries Shaped Women's Experiences" examines three different groups of women living in north-east England – in coal mining communities, in inshore fishing communities and in agricultural labor.
It demonstrates how the work these groups undertook was fundamental in shaping their experiences as women in different ways and shows that women's experiences varied within class as well as between classes.
The book illustrates how mining women, despite being restricted to domestic roles, created, through meticulous housekeeping , a power base in their homes and rendered their husbands dependent upon them, while a minority took so active a role in politics that they were said to be "the backbone of the Labour Party"; how fisher women, engaging in a household economy reminiscent of pre-modern times, exercised great influence on financial decision-making through their roles in baiting lines and selling fish; and how some single female agricultural laborers enjoyed considerable autonomy whereas those who were tied in a family economy had little independence.
Overall, the book contributes to women's history, to labor history and to economic and social history.
Dr. Hall is a former professor of History and will present her lecture on Oct. 16 in Main Parlor at 12 p.m.
William Peace University is pleased to open this event to the public. The event will include a bag lunch provided by Sodexo.
Event Time: 12:00-1:30 p.m.
Event Location: Main Parlor
Tickets: $10 Adults / $5 Students (Note: a 3% entertainment tax is included in the ticket price.)

German and Alpine clubs to rejoin the UIAA
05 Oct, 2013
For immediate release
German and Alpine clubs to rejoin the UIAA
5 October 2013, PONTRESINA, Switzerland: The UIAA - International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation voted unanimously at its General Assembly today to accept the applications of the German Alpine Club (DAV) and Der Verband alpiner Vereine Österreichs (VAVÖ) to rejoin the federation.
UIAA president Frits Vrijlandt said the decisions by the two clubs, which together have a combined membership of 1.6 million members, was a vote of confidence in the path the UIAA has chosen through the development of its strategic plan for 2012 - 2016.

The employment reference, or recommendation, has traditionally been considered an important part of the college recruiting process. Career services directors encourage, and in many cases require, that graduating students include reference letters in their credential/employment files as further documentation of their credentials, motivation, and overall employment skills. Employers, on the other hand, often review reference letters and conduct reference checks to verify a graduate's background and qualifications.
Until the early 1980s, employment references served their purpose relatively well. They tended to be candid and were sometimes painfully honest. However, in recent years, faculty, administrators, and employers have grown reluctant to provide frank information about their former students and employees, either verbally or in writing.
This reluctance stems from an increase in the number of lawsuits charging reference givers with slander and libel—even where accurate information was released to prospective employers. To combat the issue, many states passed "reference immunity laws" which protect prior employers when they provide "good faith" references to prospective employers. Unfortunately, these laws do not necessarily cover references from faculty or administrators unless they can be considered "prior" employers to the students for whom the references are given. These reference providers must rely on the defenses available to them under the common law.
At the same time, another trend has emerged. There has been a noticeable rise in the number of lawsuits against employers and referral agencies for hiring and referring candidates who were unfit for their jobs and who also harmed innocent third parties. Often, the basis of these negligent hiring and referral lawsuits is that the employer or agency failed to conduct a complete reference check on the candidate or misrepresented the qualifications and characteristics of the candidate. To complicate the issue further, this "negligence" results, in part, from fear of being sued by the job candidate or former employee on the grounds of invasion of privacy.
These two trends created a dilemma in employment law. Simply stated, how can employers conduct a thorough reference check when reference givers are increasingly apprehensive about providing candid reference information? This brief, Writing a Reference Letter, outlines the law regarding references, gives tips on preparing references, and provides samples of reference letters and the types of information that may properly be released during a reference check.
In the final analysis, providing a reference requires a careful balancing act between giving and gathering useful reference information and protecting oneself from litigation.

To celebrate the Oscars this Sunday night, Levis whipped up a fun retrospective of denim cameos in famous cinema throughout the years. From Audrey Hepburn "wearing the pants" in her relationship in Breakfast at Tiffany's to the incredible style in West Side Story, we're pretty sure you'll recognize some of these iconic moments in jean history:
"It's Oscar time. That means dazzling gowns, tailored tuxes and … denim?
Yep! While it's not often associated with the red carpet, iconic indigo has a definitive place in Hollywood when it comes to the films themselves. Since the 1950s, onscreen jeans have created a cinematic archive of popular styles over the years, setting trends as they record them.
In honor of the 86th Academy Awards, which is set to air this Sunday, we present a look at 12 films featuring blue jean styling that made the Academy—and audiences everywhere—proud:" Click to view

at a post-election
press conference at the White House on Wednesday, U.S.
President Barack Obama called on his political rivals the Republican
Party (also know as the GOP, short for Grand Old Party) to join him
in supporting electric vehicles. He said that while the pair
sparred on many issues, that he hoped electric vehicles would be
something that the two parties would see eye to eye on.The
President will need GOP cooperation if he hopes to push further
grants for the EV industry. While the Democratic Party hung on
to control of the U.S. Senate, Republicans seized a majority in the
U.S. House of Representatives.Obama is trying to sell
Republicans on his
plan to push one million electric vehicles onto U.S. streets
by 2015.Automakers have been partially supportive of Obama's
plan. They've lauded the $5B
USD in special battery and EV technology loans and grants
that he's lavished them with. The legislation to fund these
grants did enjoy a degree of bipartisan support, with some
Republicans jumping on board.However, $10B
USD more in proposed EV loans and grants for the EV industry
was torpedoed during President Obama's first two years in office.
Opposition came primarily from the Republican party, but also from
some fiscally conservative Democrats.Obama tried to drum up
support for more EV grants among both parties at the conference,
stating, "There's a lot of agreement around the need to make
sure that electric cars are developed here in the United States, that
we don't fall behind other countries. That gives opportunities
for Democrats and Republicans to come together."Many of
the big Japanese and U.S. automakers are preparing to release
electric vehicles this year or next. Nissan will release
its LEAF
EV and General Motors Company will release
the Chevy Volt. Next year the Ford
Focus Electric and the Toyota
Prius Plug-in will launch.Automakers have asserted
that grants will be greatly helpful in ensuring that the expensive
research needed to develop electric vehicles -- a radically different
internal architecture -- moves head at a sufficient pace. But
while they have praised the "carrot" side of Obama's EV
approach, they have noisily
criticized the "stick" side of his plans -- a proposal
to mandate a 62 mpg average light vehicle efficiency by 2025.
Automakers were forced to begrudgingly accept a 34.1
mpg mandatory fuel efficiency increase that must be reached
by 2016.Perhaps acknowledging that he faces an uphill battle
to pass more electric vehicle legislation, Obama took an apologetic
tone about the broader bailout, stating, "[Some voters] started
looking at all this and it felt as if government was getting much
more intrusive into people's lives than they were accustomed. We
thought it was necessary, but I'm sympathetic to folks who looked at
it and said this is looking like potential overreach."Very
significantly, the President also essentially agreed to drop plans
to pass
"cap and trade" legislation which would
spend billions
(if not trillions) in taxpayer money to set a hard limit on
the amount of greenhouse gases companies can emit, in a bid to fight
the supposed "global warming" crisis, which some
researchers claim mankind is causing.The President
acknowledged that the bill wouldn't pass the House due to Republican
opposition and argued that he only tried to push it because of the
Supreme Court decision that found greenhouse gases a danger to public
health. That decision mandates the EPA to adopt some sort of
action to fight GHG emissions in the U.S.Obama said that
there's plenty of alternatives to cap and trade, though -- including
promoting lower-emission EVs (centrally produced power, even with
transmission losses is typically lower emissions than small internal
combustion engines). He states, "Cap and trade was just
one way of skinning the cat; it was not the only way. It was a means,
not an end. And I'm going to be looking for other means to address
this problems."

Most estimates agree that there was a significant decrease of CO2 in the atmosphere from more than1000 ppm at 50 million years ago (during the Eocene) to the range recorded in the ice cores of the past 800,000 years22.
quote: Marine and continental records1 show an abrupt negative shift in carbon isotope values at ~55.8?Myr ago. This carbon isotope excursion (CIE) is consistent with the release of a massive amount of isotopically light carbon into the atmosphere and was associated with a dramatic rise in global temperatures termed the Palaeocene–Eocene thermal maximum (PETM). Greenhouse gases released during the CIE, probably including methane, have often been considered the main cause of PETM warming. However, some evidence from the marine record suggests that warming directly preceded the CIE2, 3, 4, raising the possibility that the CIE and PETM may have been linked to earlier warming with different origins. Yet pre-CIE warming is still uncertain. Disentangling the sequence of events before and during the CIE and PETM is important for understanding the causes of, and Earth system responses to, abrupt climate change. Here we show that continental warming of about 5?°C preceded the CIE in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. Our evidence, based on oxygen isotopes in mammal teeth (which reflect temperature-sensitive fractionation processes) and other proxies, reveals a marked temperature increase directly below the CIE, and again in the CIE. Pre-CIE warming is also supported by a negative amplification of d13C values in soil carbonates below the CIE. Our results suggest that at least two sources of warming—the earlier of which is unlikely to have been methane—contributed to the PETM.

As usual with Levenger products, the leather and design are exception. Minor problem, the pen sleeve came completely out, probably due to a tight fit with the pen clip, so cannot use it as intended.
Waited For This
By austex
I had this for my iPhone 4 and was disappointed when I got the iPhone 5 that it would not fit anymore. So, I submitted feedback and watched and watched to see if they would come out with one for the 5. As soon as I saw it, I snapped it up. My only complaint is that so far I have to remove my phone from its case to make it fit. On my old one if I took off just the rubbery part of the Otterbox it would fit. Now I have to take off the whole thing. Makes me less likely to use spur of the moment because they are a hassle to get off. Maybe I can work to stretch it over time.

The World War II Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress "Memphis Belle" will take to the skies over Charleston. Public flights are Oct. 12 and 13. out of Charleston Executive Airport on John's Island. They begin in the morning with ground tours in the afternoon. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress"
The Liberty Foundation's B-17 "Memphis Belle" is one of only 13 B-17's that still fly today. The B-17, dubbed the "Flying Fortress" as a result of her defensive fire power, saw action in every theater of operation during World War II. The majority of all World War II B-17's were operated by the 8th Airforce in Europe and participated in countless missions from bases in England deep into enemy territory. There were 12,732 B-17's produced between 1935 and 1945, of these 4,735 were lost in combat. Following World War II, the B-17 saw combat in three more wars. B-17's saw service in Korea. Israel used them in the war of 1948 and there were even used during Vietnam.
"Memphis Belle" was built toward the end of the war and never saw any combat. It is painted in the colors and nose art of the original historic "Memphis Belle" B-17 that flew countless missions with the 91st bomb group of the mighty 8th Airforce.
The Liberty Foundation's B-17 had an interesting postwar history. Sold as surplus to National Metals Co. of Phoenix, Ariz., for the sum of $2,687 and then sold to Fast Way Air of Long Beach, Calif., plane 44-83546 became N3703G on the U.S. civil register. In 1960, she was converted to a water bomber and operated as Tanker 78 until the late 1970s. N3703G was purchased by the Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation (MARC) in 1982. MARC, was started by David Tallichet, a wartime B-17 pilot with the 100th bomb group. He and his staff restored the B-17G to resemble a B-17F model. The restoration included reinstallation of power turrets, early tail gunners compartment, early Sperry dorsal turret recovered from a south Pacific wreck and adding a 91st BG paint scheme
In 1989, N3703G was hired for use in the filming of the Memphis Belle movie in England. In July 1989, she crossed the Atlantic with another B-17 to participate in the filming of the movie. Since returning to the U.S. N3703G has continued in the paint scheme of the "Memphis Belle"
Today's mission
The Liberty Foundation's B-17 provides visitors the opportunity to take a step back in time and gain respect for the men and women who gave so much to protect our freedoms. At each stop, flight "missions" are available in the Memphis Belle, which allow people to take flights in this historic aircraft.
During flight operations, there will be a designated, secure area for those who would like to watch the aircraft flights at no charge. For enthusiasts who choose to take a flight experience on this legendary aircraft, these participants receive a pre-flight safety briefing containing the historical significance of the aircraft and a spectacular scenic air tour around the city. During the flight, passengers enjoy the unique opportunity of moving about the aircraft to the different combat crew positions to see the viewpoint that thousands of heroes saw in combat more than 60 years ago.
The B-17 flight experience takes 45 minutes with approximately half hour in flight. B-17 flights are $410 for Liberty Foundation members and $450 for non-members. Passengers can become a Liberty Foundation Member for $40 and receive the member discount for family and friends. While the cost to take a flight sounds expensive, it must be put into perspective when compared to the B-17's operating cost. A Flying Fortress cost is over $4,500 per flight hour. The Liberty Foundation spends more than $1.5 million annually to keep the B-17 airworthy and out on tour.
The Liberty Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit flying museum and funds generated merely help offset these high cost. Only the public's interest and other generous donations keep this historic aircraft flying and from being silenced permanently in a museum for years to come.
