Arts and Sciences | Gore School of Business | Education | Nursing and Health Sciences
Westminster's instructional programs are characterized by an experienced and available faculty and staff; liberal arts, interdisciplinary and professional programs emphasizing both theoretical and practical learning; an administration committed to academic excellence; a genuine concern for each student's plans and aspirations; small classes that encourage involvement and active learning; and a diverse and friendly student body.
The college welcomes students from all backgrounds and ages, and believes that the knowledge and discipline acquired through the rigors of higher education will lead to new and expanded opportunities.
The college's instructional programs are organized and administered through four schools: the School of Arts and Sciences; the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business; the School of Education; and the School of Nursing and Health Sciences. Close working relationships among the faculty in all four schools are of utmost importance to the college in assisting its students.
Each school is directed by a dean and has its own faculty. Instructional programs and procedures are recommended by the faculty members of each school and approved by the entire college faculty. The four academic deans and the provost and vice president for academic affairs constitute a Council of Deans who are responsible for the day-to-day administration of the instructional programs.
Westminster's graduate academic calendar is divided into Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
The instructional programs and faculty of Westminster's four schools are listed and described on the following pages. Courses listed are subject to change following normal academic procedures that call for action by each school and by the entire college faculty. Additions, deletions, or changes effected since the publication of this academic catalog are on file in the Office of the Registrar.

The Westminster Master of Professional Communication (MPC) program is designed to help individuals enhance their communication skills and develop expertise in a specialized communication field.
The Master of Professional Communication (MPC) program and the related Communication certificates are designed to prepare writers and communication experts for positions in business, industry, government, or any other organization where communication skills are essential. MPC classes are held during evenings and on weekends, and students may enroll in as many or as few courses as scheduling allows.
The Master of Science in Professional Counseling is a graduate program that prepares students for clinical practice and potential licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (L.P.C.). This 3 year program requires 60 hours of graduate work, following guidelines established by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (i.e., specializations in Mental Health Counseling or Marital, Couple, and Family Counseling) and the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. Broad in scope, its focus and course work support a range of theoretical perspectives and potential practice with diverse treatment populations.
The Master of Strategic Communication (MSC) program is a low-residency, project-based program in which students complete a series of applied communication projects in order to build and demonstrate mastery of the essential knowledge and abilities required to lead in the area of strategic communication. Students attend two-day residencies in Salt Lake City, Utah at the beginning of each semester and then work directly and individually with faculty members and with each other to build and demonstrate expertise. The highly personalized approach to education is a hallmark of Westminster College and is an important part of building leaders in the communication field.
The program design is specifically built to accommodate the learning styles and life commitments of employed professionals: program learning resources are available to students anytime, anywhere, to ensure the the program fits into the busy lives of today's communication professionals.

quote: Glad you know so much more about Google than I do. But I think you are wrong. Look again at the two purposes for Android I stated. Also, I think a run-rate of $1 billion is not a failure. The trend was towards *very* rapid increase. There are also many other sources of revenue (app sales, payments, ...). Android is a strategic platform for Google, and it is only a few years old. As far as I can see, you armchair CEOs have no clue whatsoever. Google can think very long term, because their revenue stream allows them to. But Android is already a success, and growing into a bigger one. Admittedly, Apple is more successful in this area, due to superb products and execution. They may continue to succeed, or they may not. Things change very rapidly in this industry. But calling Android a failure at this stage is just dumb.

Name; Jake Eclair
Age; 13
Gender; Male
Hometown: Aspertia city
Additional information; Jake isn't the average teen. At the age of 13 he ran away from home never turning back. He now lives in his secret base with his pokemon and wouldn't want it anyway else. Jake's parents were very abusive and didn't want Jake to even have a pokemon. During most of his time Jake would read books or go outside and befriend pokemon. However one day as Jake was having fun with a Joltik colony he befriend his dad found out and killed the colony. That night the sole survivor of the colony went to Jake for help as he was badly wounded. From that point on Jake had hid the Joltik from his parents and plotted to run away. Jake is very smart for his age and enjoys his time with his pokemon. He likes making friends and is very energetic. Jake also has the mysterious power to understand what pokemon are saying though he doesn't know why or how. This power for some reason "shuts off" in certain locations (Zones) though this is also not known why As for Jake's goals he hopes to become a master of Electric type pokemon, and getting a new electric type is always a high priority for Jake. However he still let's even non electric types onto the team as well. As of recent, Jake hasn't been much of his self. He tries to keep positive and cheerful, however deep down he feels a great deal of guilt after the murder of his father.

Bio: Sparky is a young Joltik who befriended Jake five years ago. Sparky was the sole survivor when Jake's dad killed his colony. This past experience had for a long time affected Sparky giving him a trauma of poison types until a friendly Arbok, Ivysaur and Weedle belonging to one of Jake's friends helped him get over it. However Sparky still is nervous around poison types but that probably will just be the scar of that horrible incident. One of Sparky's favorite activities is to battle. In battle Sparky is confident and determined to take on any pokemon, even if the opponent is over twenty times his size. Sparky also likes adventures and camping, possibly due to him and Jake spending many hours outside exploring and having a good time. Whenever a poison type come nears Sparky, he flinches. Though this is actually out of habit not fear.
Opinion on evolution; Sparky wants to evolve with a passion. He has both expressed this during adventures and in battle.

Bio: Jake got Pom during his first week at Fizzytopia where he was up for trade. Jake felt bad for the little guy and bid on him. However Jake was pretty much broke and almost didn't get Pom until a kind trainer withdrew his bid so Jake could get him. Pom for the most part is a serious pokemon that likes to train and battle. However when he deems he has done enough training he likes to spend time with his friends. Pom is one of the more calmer pokemon of the group and likes to take charge of the team if Jake isn't around. Despite this he is well liked by the team. There is one very special pokemon in Pom's heart, an Umbreon named Cyanide.
Opinion on evolution: Pom has never said that he wants to evolve or not . Whatever his opinion is he keeps it well hidden and unknown
Likes: Training,Impressing Jake,Cyanide
Dislikes: Obstacles against his goals,being interrupted during training, people and pokemon who want to hurt Cyanide

Bio: Bubbles has changed a lot over the course of time. When Bubbles first joined Jake's team she was a total ***** to Sparky and Pom calling them her slaves and bossing them around. She eventually fell in love with a Stunfisk named Neville, but a Shuppet by the name of Myrtle had beat her to him. This caused Bubbles to go into depression and she often threatened to kill herself. After the help of a friendly Ivysaur, Bubbles became what she is today. A somewhat laid back pokemon that prefers to be alone. However Bubbles old self isn't completly gone. She still acts like a brat at times, and still doesn't like some of Jake's rules.

Bio: One day Jake was walking in Downtown Fizzytopia when he saw the pokemon adoption center. Jake was horrified when he found out that the staff had kept Telpo in a cellar because of his psychic powers and adopted him right away. Telpo for the most part is a kind pokemon who likes to make jokes. Telpo is also worried for his trainer. He's most concerned about how Jake acts, he's scared that his trainer is hiding something about his past from him and everyone else. Despite this Telpo does have problems of his own. Telpo's psychic powers aren't the best and so sometimes Telpo can't even control them properly which has caused him trouble on more then one occasion. Telpo try's to overcome this and so everyday he trains to master his psychic powers. After all he wouldn't want his psychic powers to go out of control again, especially if it were to hurt the pokemon he loves. A female Timburr named Millicent
Opinion on evolution; Abra never want's to evolve to prove to everyone and his old trainer that he can still be strong without being fully evolved or being a gimmick
Likes: Pokemon,Battle,Talking to his friends and trainer, Millicent
Dislikes: People who only like pokemon that relie on pure power,People who think Abra are weak, His time at the adoption center

Bio: Botch to say the least is a very, weird Grimer. When he's out on an adventure he likes to pretend he's a super hero, while anywhere else he's more calm and down to earth. Jake obtained Botch when he noticed that a Grimer was up for trade. Jake at first wasn't planning on bidding on the Grimer, he had recently gotten Telpo. However the idea of having a Grimer was enough to make Jake bid. Though most would usually be put off by the smell a Grimer let's off, Jake doesn't mind, he's just happy to have him on the team. Botch is quite hard to get along with others. Not because he's mean or anti-social, but because of his stubbornness. Once Botch makes up his mind it is very hard to change it. Despite this Botch was actually the first to realize Kage was actually not evil, and quickly made friends with her. At the bar, after a run in with a crystal Kabutops, Botch and the Grimer he fell in love with, Strychnine confessed their feelings for each other. Botch has a fear of Muk, some say this is silly, aren't Muk pretty much just bigger? However Botch swears there is a reason, he just hasn't said what.
Opinion on evolution; Botch hates Muk with a passion and so he doesn't want to evolve.
Likes: Heros,saving people, all his teammates, Strychnine
Dislikes: Muk,people who don't believe in him being a true hero

Bio: Aco like most Shuppet, is cruel, uncaring. He also loves negative emotions to the point where he will cause these emotions in others on purpose, no matter who it is. Aco seems not to care about anything, though he will do something he doesn't want to do if he's yelled at, though with him murmuring under his breath the whole time. Aco,in life used to be a Seedot, and was Kage's boyfriend, however Aco suffers from Amnesia and can't remember anything about his life, including Kage. And though he has been told about this, within a minute he forgets all about anyone telling him. Strangely enough, Aco doesn't have problems remembering anything else

Wegmans will allow current part-time employees to work more hours in order to keep their employer-funded health insurance after it adopts more stringent standards that will make workers who are on the job for less than 30 hours a week ineligible for the benefits.
"Even though the new health care law is requiring some changes, we are not going to do anything that will hurt our employees," Wegmans said in a statement.
The supermarket chain said current employees who need to work additional hours in order to qualify for full-time status and health insurance will be given the opportunity to do so. Under the new policy, which will not take effect until 2015 for existing part-timers, the company will only offer health insurance to employees who work 30 hours or more per week.
Wegmans has been lauded for its policy of offering employer-subsidized health insurance for part-time employees working more than 20 hours per week. But in response to changes brought by the Affordable Care Act, that will no longer be the case as of 2015.
Experts speculate Wegmans made the change so that qualifying part-time employees would be eligible for government-subsidized health care. Under the Affordable Care Act, part-time employees are not eligible for health insurance subsidies if their employer offers insurance.
Wegmans declined to comment on specifics of employee benefit plans. It is unclear what portion of an employee's health care premium is paid by Wegmans and what portion is paid by the employee.
"We have met one-on-one with each impacted employee to reassure them and to let them know we are going to do everything we can to help them through these changes," Wegmans said.
Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence, said Wegmans' decision to change its employee benefit policy is "one more example" of why "Obamacare" is "bad for business, bad for workers, bad for America."
"Any time a person who is covered under an HMO is told they have to move to Medicaid, that's a bad day for the American people," Collins said.

Great Fuel Mileage, Awesome Power
by Slater from Reading, Pa. | September 13, 2013
The 2007 Dodge 2500 Turbo Diesel, out of all of the diesels that I have owned, is a stand out. More power and great fuel mileage.

2007 Power Wagon
by SMS from Warrenton, VA | September 20, 2012
This is the best truck I have ever owned/driven. When Dodge started making the PW again in 2005 they were done in very limited numbers (less than 5000 per year) and were hard to find. Took me 2 years to find mine...it was "used" with 1,580 miles on it. With all the off-road features built in--locking front and rear differentials, Bilstein 5100's, unlocking front sway bar, Warn 12,000 lb winch, aluminum drive shaft, computer controlled throttle in 4Low, skid plates on everything, rims that prevent slipping off bead when aired down, and more--I haven't had to do anything to it other than add dual exhaust. While the MPG could be better it will go anywhere. If you get stuck you can pull yourself and anyone else out. I've got 40k miles on it without a single problem. I've had an F150, 2 Bronco's, an Expedition, a 4Runner, and a couple others I can't recall and while they were good vehicles the PW is just so much better.

Dodge scrimped on quality inside.
by engineer from MI | January 30, 2012
I was so excited to get the Cummins Diesel truck. Now that I've had a chance to drive it, I am so disappointed in how cheap Chrysler treated the inside. The seats, even in the Laramie are not very comfortable or ergonomic, nor adjustable. Apparently a truck should not have any amenities, and what it does have? Well, example: your computer info center is not in the dash! So you not only have to take your eyes off the road, you have to turn your head and look up at the ceiling counsel. It's hard to read cause you're looking at an angle. I don't think the engineers at Chrysler have ever driven a GM or Ford truck. This engine can tow, but in the truck cab, its uncivilized and Chrysler engineering is a decade behind Ford and GM. They didn't do justice to a great Cummins diesel engine.

Power, Comfort and Reliability
by Ram Tough from Minneapolis, MN | March 23, 2011
I bought this truck brand new. It has been a dream come true. First the style and design is outstanding. The interior is designed with nothing more than I'd want and nothing less. The seats are very comfortable. Super spacious cab. I have 89,000 miles on it so far and 0 problems, nothing whatsoever. The gas mileage is not bad either. I have the 3500 MEGA cab dually with the 5.9TD and I get about 17.5mpg. Not bad for a one ton. 17.5 is much better than my friends 1/4 tons from other brands. Great Truck, truly built to last.

Best truck on the market.
by John from Reno | September 28, 2010
Have owned several trucks, but none even come close to the comfort and dependability of this one. For towing purposes this is the one. Mega cab is great for family trips, plentyof room. Feelsso much like a luxury car you'll forget you're in a truck. If you've been searching for "that truck," you've found it.

Is James Franco the one that Anne Hathaway wants for the Oscars?
Apparently so, as the Academy Awards co-hosts reenact the iconic carnival scene ("You're The One That I Want") from 1978's Grease in a YouTube clip that the Oscar-nominated actor posted on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
In the 19-second video, Franco slicks back his hair a la John Travolta's Danny Zuko and Hathaway shakes her tush – clad in the skin-tight leather pants made famous by Olivia Newton-John's Sandy Olsson.
Will this homage to Grease be included in their Oscars telecast? You'll have to tune into the 83rd annual Academy Awards, airing live Sunday, Feb. 27, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC, to find out!

He was visibly holding back tears and a few minutes earlier he told his coach he may not be interested in playing because he was upset. It was too late for running back Hutton Johnson to do anything else but move forward. That is exactly what this week's team captain did on the opening offensive play of the game.
Johnson powered up the middle for an 11-yard gain during the Truckee Wolverines Maverick Division game in the Sierra Youth Football League last Saturday against the Wooster Colts.
Johnson and the rest of his 7- and 8-year-old teammates were forced to settle for a 27-0 loss to the first-place Colts at Wooster High School in Reno, but Johnson never did settle for a loss on any of his plays.
Johnson never went backwards on his six carries or his two kick returns. After his first run of the game, Johnson kept a third-quarter drive alive with a 14-yard run on third down with 12 yards to go. He also earned his third first down of the game with a 9-yard run up the middle during an 11-play drive in the fourth quarter.
All this after learning his younger brother suffered a broken leg during a Truckee Wolverines Bandit Division football game minutes before Johnson was set to take the field.
Johnson's effort was impressive because of the emotional adversity and because the Colts' stingy defense only allowed one other Wolverine runner to end the day with positive yardage. Running back Damon Parisi finished the day with 1 yard on 10 carries.
The Wolverines' offense struggled most of the day but did make the game closer than the score might indicate with some standout plays.
Parisi followed Johnson's big opening run with a scamper around the right side for 9 yards and was awarded a first down after taking a late hit flagged by the officials. Running back Jackson Kahl took a handoff 5 yards on the closing play of the first half.
Quarterback Tavin Hamilton led the fourth-quarter drive with a 10-yard pass completion to tight end Sawyer Burley and got the Wolverines into their best field position of the day. The Colts then tightened up their defense once the Wolverines reached their 20-yard line and forced a turnover on downs on the next four plays.
The Wolverines also had some standout plays on defense that were highlighted by the biggest hit of the game. Johnson came through the left side of the line from his defensive end position and leveled the Colts' running back immediately after receiving the handoff. The tackle was one of Johnson's two on the day and pushed the Colts back 6 yards.
Defensive end Jason Roth, lining up on the opposite side of Johnson, led the Wolverines with a season-high seven tackles. Middle linebacker Kahl followed with five tackles, four coming after the Colts gained 14 yards or more on those plays.
The Wolverines' leading tackler on the season, defensive tackle Matthew Seline, turned in four tackles. Defensive tackles Colton Conklin, Jacob Moule and Peter Reoutt tallied three tackles each. Cornerbacks Galdino Bravo-Karvonen and Parisi added three.
Nose tackle Luis Castaneda, defensive end Carson Jensen and linebacker Aidan Anderson contributed two tackles each. Linebacker Mitchell Mueller made one tackle along with Hamilton, who earned a tackle after a turnover.
Parisi was the Wolverines' leading kick returner with a 6-yard return straight up the middle.
Truckee (1-2) takes on the Reed Raiders (2-2) for their first home game of the season at River View Sports Park in Truckee on Saturday at noon.

If your morning shower is more of a depressing drizzle, a new shower head could be the solution. Not only have today's shower heads improved flow compared to earlier versions, even in water-saving models, but many have variable settings so you can pound those tight muscles with a water massage or be soothed by a gentle fall of rain.
There are two basic types of shower heads: fixed and handheld. Fixed shower heads are most common and range from extremely basic, with just a single spray setting, to more sophisticated, with a variety of spray choices that you access by turning a knob or dial. Fixed shower heads are generally easy to install, but they vary significantly in price. A no-frills model can cost $10 or less, while a high-end, well-built shower head with an adjustable flow rate and a variety of stream settings can cost as much as $400.
A handheld shower head offers more versatility. This type of shower head is a shower nozzle attached to a flexible hose. Nestled into a wall-mounted cradle, it can function just like a fixed shower head or be removed from its mount and directed onto particular parts of your body. Reviewers say they're also handy for cleaning the shower itself or washing the dog. Most handheld shower heads have multiple settings, so you won't find them at truly rock-bottom prices, but we found good ratings for models priced as low as $25. Installation is straightforward; in most cases the flexible hose is attached in place of a fixed shower head.
Fixed and handheld shower heads are available in low-flow versions. Shower heads are required to use no more than 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm), which is significantly less than the flow rate of some older shower heads. However, if you want to save even more water, you can choose a shower head bearing the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) WaterSense label. Models with this label are guaranteed to use no more than 2 gpm and may be required in some areas, such as parts of New York. In addition, some states, such as California, are passing new low-flow requirements that will take effect over the next couple of years, ultimately bringing shower head flow rate requirements down to 1.8 gpm.
Older low-flow shower heads often felt either misty and anemic or sharp and needle-like, but newer models have worked around these problems, delivering a satisfying spray with 1.5 to 2 gpm. In fact, our two top-rated fixed shower heads both meet the WaterSense criteria. For those who really want to stretch their water as far as possible, there are ultra-low-flow shower heads, which use less than 1.5 gpm. However, we did not find many recommendations for shower heads in this category.
One of the hottest trends in shower heads is the rain shower. These can-shaped shower heads have broad, flat faces that drop water straight down onto the user to simulate rainfall. Many reviewers rave about the luxurious feel of this type of shower, but it's not for everyone. Most rain shower heads use the full 2.5 gpm allowed by law, and some people still find the flow too weak. Rain shower heads tend to be pricier than other shower heads, and installation can be more complicated, as well.
If you can't decide between fixed and handheld, you may like a dual shower head. Some dual shower heads combine a fixed shower head with a handheld one; others combine a regular shower head with a rain-type shower head or have two regular or two rain-type shower heads. The fixed shower head/handheld combination gives you the best of both worlds, while two side-by-side shower heads make it more convenient to shower with a friend. Most dual shower heads can be installed by a handy do-it-yourselfer.
To find the very best showerheads of all types, we looked at professional tests and expert reviews, especially those shower head evaluations that include flow rate verification and other specific measurements, as well as hands on testing by more than just one person. From there, we consulted hundreds, sometimes thousands, of user reviews on sites like Amazon.com and HomeDepot.com for feedback on how these shower heads work in real homes, which gives great insight into long-term performance and durability as well. The results of our research is our picks for the best shower heads on the market, including low-flow, handheld and rain shower heads. One is sure to make your morning toilette a bit more refreshing.
Fixed shower heads are pretty straightforward -- they attach to a pipe that comes out from the wall or ceiling and water comes out. From there, though, things can get more interesting, with spray options that include everything from a gentle, dispersed flow to an invigorating massage. The best of these shower heads offer a flow that is strong enough even to rinse shampoo from long or thick hair, while still meeting the maximum flow rate requirements of 2.0 to 2.5 gpm (check your local or state regulations for specifics).
What this type of shower head doesn't have is a wand, so, if you want a handheld shower head we cover those in a separate section of this report. If you prefer a shower that's more like standing in the rain, check our separate discussion of rain shower heads, or, if you like to shower with a friend, you can see our picks for the best dual shower heads.
Among standard fixed shower heads, reviewers have nothing but good things to say about the Speakman S-2252 Icon Anystream (Est. $70 and up). Made of solid brass, this shower head features six individual spray jets that offer 48 different spray options and can function in three different patterns, from a gentle rinse to a full-flood stream. To switch between settings, there's a side-mounted lever that's reported as easy to grip even with wet or soapy hands. This shower head is a popular choice with professional reviewers, who describe the spray as "invigorating" and "rewarding." Professionals and owners alike are impressed with the Speakman's heavy-duty construction and stylish looks.
The Speakman Anystream has a 2.5 gpm flow rate, the maximum allowed law, but users say it feels plenty strong in spite of those limitations. However, some users say it doesn't work very well with low water pressure. The Anystream comes in five finishes: polished brass, polished chrome, polished nickel, brushed nickel and oil-rubbed bronze. Many owners rave about its stylish looks, and say it's extremely well-built. Quite a few who felt that the Anystream was rather pricey for a shower head eventually concluded that it is worth every penny.
It's a fraction of the price of the Speakman, but the Delta 75152 Shower Head (Est. $22) earns kudos from both experts and owners for its performance and value. This Delta shower head offers dual flow rate settings, 1.85 and 2.5 gpm, using up to 26 percent less water than a dedicated 2.5 gpm shower. Reviewers say the flow at the lower setting feels plenty strong thanks to Delta's proprietary H2OKinetic technology. Quite a few say they just leave it on the 1.85 gpm setting and they can't tell the difference. We also saw a number of comments from users who have seen a noticeable decrease in their water bills.
The Delta 75152 has only four jets in contrast with the Speakman's six, but reviewers say it offers a steady, consistent stream that offers a good, full shower feel. As with many shower heads, if you already have low water pressure, this one may not work as well, but some say it's fine even with lower water pressure. We did see a few comments from those who felt that the air diffused the spray too much, especially at the higher 2.5 gpm setting, which they found annoying. The 75152 only comes in one finish option -- chrome -- and there are a few complaints that it looks and feels cheap.
Another shower head with strong overall ratings is the Oxygenics 60120 SkinCare (Est. $35). Oxygenics makes several versions of this shower head, ranging from 1.5 gpm to the full 2.5 gpm allowed by law (the 60120's flow rate is 2.5 gpm). However, its high-powered aeration amps up the pressure, so reviewers say that even the low-flow versions produce a powerful stream. This shower head is particularly popular with homeowners who have low water pressure; they say it has made it possible for them to enjoy a powerful shower again. However, some users complain that the heavily aerated water flow is very noisy and tends to feel sharp and prickly. The Oxygenics SkinCare comes in chrome and gold; some versions, including the 60120, have a "comfort control" lever to adjust the strength of the spray.
The future of the shower head -- and the toilet and the faucet and just about everything else that uses water -- is in constantly decreasing flow rates. In some zip codes in New York, newly installed shower heads must have flow rates of no more than 2.0 gpm. Effective on July 1, 2016, California will decrease its maximum flow rate requirement from 2.5 gpm to 2.0 gpm; then, in July 2018, that will drop to 1.8 gpm.
Fortunately, there are a few shower heads out there that meet these requirements and perform well. A standout in this category is the American Standard 1660.717 FloWise (Est. $45 and up). It has a nice selection of three spray patterns (full spray, turbine massage spray and combination spray) and a stylish flared design. Although it has extreme water saving features -- using between 1.5 and 2 gallons per minute, depending on spray pattern -- reviewers say the stream feels generous and strong. It's also a top performer in professional tests, with high scores for water feel, ease of adjustment and hot water temperature. One feature users don't generally love is the fact that the shower head automatically resets to its lowest-flow setting when you turn it off. The American Standard FloWise 1660.717 is available in polished chrome or satin nickel, which costs about $20 more.
The Niagara N2915 Earth (Est. $9) is an ultra-low-flow shower head, using just 1.5 gpm, that gets very good reviews for performance from hundreds of reviewers, as well as hundreds of comments that talk about noticeable savings on the water bills. Many say the water flow feels surprisingly strong considering the low flow setting, and it feels like a full flow shower head. Of course, as with any shower head, a lot of the user's satisfaction depends upon the water pressure in the home.
The Niagara has three spray settings and nine jets and reviewers say it's easy to adjust by turning the dial on the nozzle. Although it's an inexpensive and very basic unit, plenty of owners say they like the way it looks. It's available in chrome and white and models are also available in 1.25 gpm, 1.75 and 2.0 gpm for about the same price.

Operation Walk USA is committed to helping those in need by restoring their mobility, self dignity and productivity, thus helping them return to work and their social activities. This is the second year Cabell Huntington Hospital has participated in Operation Walk USA.
On Dec. 4, Dr. Ali Oliashirazi, professor and chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine and surgical director of the Mary H. Hodges Joint Replacement Center at Cabell Huntington Hospital, performed a free knee replacement surgery from Cabell Huntington Hospital as part of Operation Walk USA. John Rowsey, 53, of Wayne County, was selected as the hospital's 2013 Operation Walk USA recipient and is now on the road to recovery.
Rowsey said that before the surgery, he struggled to stand or walk because of the intense pain.
"I'm so grateful to Cabell Huntington and Dr. Ali [Oliashirazi] and all these people [involved]," Rowsey said in an interview with The Herald-Dispatch before his surgery.
"Hip and knee replacement surgeries are among the most successful operations in modern medicine," Oliashirazi said. "Unfortunately, because of finances, some members of our community are unable to benefit from these procedures. Operation Walk USA opens the door widely for these patients, thereby allowing us to give back to the community that has supported us so strongly. We have tripled the number of Operation Walk sites in West Virginia this year versus last year, and our goal is to have 500 participating sites in every state around the country."

Clearly we are beginning to see the influx of liberals from Maryland into Jefferson County. It is their liberal, gun hating votes which elected Delegate Stephen Skinner of Jefferson County. Thankfully Skinner's vote was in the minority. We can easily see how Colorado, a once respected conservative state that honored their citizen's rights has been corrupted by the same influx of out of state liberals trying to take away your liberty and freedom. We must remain vigilant as these liberals invade our border counties and weaken our liberties and freedoms.

on July 2, 2013 - 10:23 AM
, updated July 2, 2013 at 1:00 PM
The Senecas on Tuesday unveiled a $26 million renovation plan for Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, one that will put a fresh face on the flagship gambling property in Western New York.
It's also the latest evidence that conflicts between the State of New York and the Seneca Nation of Indians seem to be easing.
About $140 million in casino slot machine revenue is now set to flow to the communities that host the three gambling facilities following last month's agreement between the state and the Senecas to resolve a years-long dispute over the Seneca Nation's gambling rights.
Last week, Seneca Nation and Seneca Gaming Corp. officials showcased ongoing construction work at Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in Buffalo.
And over the weekend, the Senecas ran a full-page ad in The Buffalo News, calling the agreement with the state a "true win-win."
Do these recent developments represent a renewal of good feelings? Or do Seneca officials see them more as a chance to get past the rhetoric of the dispute with the state and focus on business?
"What we just have is a plan that we continue to move forward on," said Cathy Walker, president and CEO of Seneca Gaming.
The work is simply a sign of the Seneca Nation's commitment to the region, demonstrated by its willingness to invest in capital projects, Walker said.
The nation has always wanted to be a leading economic developer in the region, according to Walker.
"There's a lot going on in this region, and we're so glad to be a part of it," Walker said.
But with all the excitement over last month's deal, there's another side to casinos that critics don't want ignored.
It's a side that former Rep. John J. LaFalce, who has been a part of lawsuits against casinos here, believes is harmful to society.
All gambling, not just Indian casinos but also "government-sponsored gambling," is widespread – in restaurants, Off-Track Betting parlors, and has "become a way of life," LaFalce said.
"Gambling preys upon the poorest, upon the most disadvantaged and it will continue to do so," he said.
While there are pluses and minuses to casinos, LaFalce said he believes the negatives outweigh the positives.
"I think that's the experience in almost any city across America where you've seen casino gambling," he said, "that the prime beneficiaries are the casinos themselves, the employees of the casino, to the detriment of the rest of the community."
Critics often have pointed out the lack of development around the Falls casino, which had been billed, when it was first proposed, as a catalyst for growth in a city that desperately needed it.
Although the $26 million refurbishment of the casino's 88,000-square-foot main gaming floor was announced Tuesday, it has been in development for some time, officials said.
The work will include a $6 million HVAC system and a new bar and entertainment stage that will have a 40-by-20-foot high-definition video wall.
Cosmetic improvements include new carpet and chairs, as well as an expanded west entrance. A new promotions booth and a new Keno bar at the entrance to recently renovated Thunder Falls Buffet are also planned.
The Club 101 bar area, located at the center of the gaming floor, is being removed.
"We plan to give our guests an entirely new experience, from the look, sounds and the feel of the gaming floor to the air they breathe," Seneca President Barry E. Snyder Sr. told those gathered for the morning news conference in the casino's Chairman's Club. "Let me assure you, by making these renovations we are transforming the heart of this world-class property."
SOSH Architects completed the design work, while the construction work will be done by Seneca Construction Management Corp. and local contractors.
Casino officials said the project will create 300 construction jobs, with as many as 120 construction workers on site at peak times. Seneca officials said they expect most of the renovations to wrap up by the end of the year.
A separate $2.9 million project to improve Seneca Square, the outdoor area between the casino and Third Street, will include improvements to the pedestrian bridge and Seneca-themed landscaping.
On June 13, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Snyder came to the Falls to announce a settlement of a four-year dispute during which the Senecas withheld payments to the state because they believed the state violated its gambling exclusivity deal for Western New York.
The Niagara Falls casino includes 147,000 square feet of gaming, 10 restaurants and the 26-floor, 604-room Seneca Niagara Hotel.
A soft opening of the expanded Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in Buffalo is expected toward the end of the summer.

The secrets just keep on coming from the hosts of The Talk.
This week, Sharon Osbourne revealed her long-ago fling with Jay Leno, Aisha Tyler opened up about her infertility struggle and Sara Gilbert said she realized she was gay while dating her Roseanne costar Johnny Galecki.
On Wednesday's show, Julie Chen, 43, said that racist remarks from a former news director led her to undergo plastic surgery to make her eyes look bigger.
"When I was 25, I was working as a local news reporter in Dayton, Ohio. I asked my news director if I could fill in [for vacationing reporters over the holidays]," Chen, 43, revealed on the show. "He said, 'You will never be on this anchor desk, because you're Chinese.' "
Chen's boss went on to say, "Because of your Asian eyes, I've noticed that when you're on camera, you look disinterested and bored."
His remarks shocked Chen and caused her to begin meeting with agents for career advice.
"This one big-time agent basically told me the same thing," Chen recalled. "He said, 'I cannot represent you unless you get plastic surgery to make your eyes look bigger.' "
Worried her appearance might stall her career, Chen discussed the surgery with her parents. After garnering their support, she opted to go under the knife.
Headshots of Chen, taken before and after her surgery, show how the procedure changed her appearance.
"My eyes are bigger, I look more alert ... more expressive," she said. "After I had it done, the ball did roll for me. I wondered, did I give in to the man?"
Chen's co-host, Sheryl Underwood, refuted that question, heartily supporting her colleague.
"You made a choice that was good for you, and you have represented – I'm gonna say it – your people ... your race ... women and your colleagues," Underwood said. "Don't look back."
Chen said she hasn't.
"I have to live with every decision that I've made. And I'm not going to look back," she said. "I don't like to live with regrets. No one's more proud of being Chinese than I am."

To post a new trap, zoom in as far as you can and "Right Click" to bring up the crosshair. When you bring up the crosshair, you will have the option to add a "Speed Trap" "Red Light Camera" or "Speed Camera". When you select your option, a modal will popup asking you to fill out the remaining information before submitting.
Red light cameras and speed traps are good ideas in theory, but not quite when put into practice. They have become a convenient and socially accepted way to fine drivers and increase local revenue while not actually enhancing road safety, as studies have shown. Article after article nationwide cites how red light cameras are used to increase the amount of money certain cities receive from fines, how well over half of certain towns' operating budgets come from speeding tickets, and yet how particular kinds of accidents, such as rear-end crashes, actually increase regardless of speed traps.
We are working on exporting 50 Thousands speed traps to GPS enabled mobile phones and devices. Who has time to waste in a driving course? Who has the money to spend on a lawyer contesting a ticket? Auto insurance companies increase premiums up to 50% for each of the three years following a single four-point speeding ticket. Premiums increase, the term "higher risk driver" is attached to your driving record, and hundreds of dollars are funneled into your car insurance, all because you were in a rush to pick your daughter up from school or to make it to the eight o'clock movie. The system is unfair to the average aware driver who may or may not test the amount of horses under their hood.
Njection provides an invaluable service to those of us behind the wheel who don't have fistfuls of cash to hand over to the likes of Prudential, Geico, or Progressive. If you are in your
speeding away, thinking you are safe.. well you will be with our new GPS system. Simply click on the SpeedTrap section and see where the danger of being pulled over is the greatest. Money and time saved, broken hearts and broken banks avoided. It's that simple.

There are pieces of me that I bare so unabashedly. But those are just pieces. It's not all of me.
I couldn't find my happy place.
I could fall on my knees to pray but down there I was met with crumbs on the carpet and reminded again that I need to vacuum. Then I would just become sleepy.
Some days all I want is to be in a moment- any moment- that is uninterrupted.
There's only so much of me to go around. And I feel like I've been offering up first dibs to all the wrong people and things.
I remember thin and fake wood paneled walls in the upstairs of our old church. The plastic seats and prize bucket if you remembered your verse and brought a friend and your bible.
And this song written big and neat on poster board with colored smelly markers:
He's still working on me to make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be, He's still working on me.
Hey everyone, I'm under construction! And that's ok.
