3. How to Enter. To enter the Sweepstakes, you must follow the @ScionAV Twitter account and you must follow the instructions in any call to action provided in any tweet message received from Sponsor that indicates there is a chance to enter to win a Prize, including typing exactly any unique term called for in Sponsor's update calling for entries. The call to action for this Sweepstakes will typically ask entrants to tweet #Casualties [date of the concert]". The date of the concert that entrant would like to win tickets to should be included in the "[date of concert]". For example, if an individual wishes to enter the drawing for the concert located in Portland Oregon on April 8, 2013, the entrant should include "#Casualties 4/8" in their return tweet. Individuals will not receive travel to/from the concert location so it is recommended that entrant's enter the concert date that is closest to the location that they reside. Sponsor, at its sole discretion, may accept a technically incorrect unique term. To qualify for entry, a tweet message must be a targeted reply to Sponsor's Twitter account (i.e., "@ScionAV") using Twitter's "@Reply" function; "ScionAV" is the Sponsor's Twitter account. If your Twitter account is set to "protected mode" your updates/responses may not be visible in Sponsor's @Reply inbox, and may not thus be received by Sponsor unless entrant has previously consented to permit Sponsor to see the entrant's Twitter updates. @Reply messages not received by Sponsor will not be entered into Sweepstakes.
Only one (1) entry per person for the entire Sweepstakes will be accepted. For purposes of certainty, an entrant may only submit one (1) entry for one (1) concert in connection with this Sweepstakes. Subsequent attempts made by the same individual to submit multiple entries by using multiple Twitter accounts or otherwise may be disqualified. Entries generated by a script, computer programs, macro, programmed, robotic or other automated means will be disqualified. Entries that are incomplete, illegible, corrupted, false, lost, late or misdirected, deceptive or otherwise not in compliance with the Official Rules may be disqualified from the Sweepstakes at Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion. All materials submitted as part of any Twitter entry will not be returned. All entrants submitting materials as part of the Sweepstakes will be non-exclusively licensing (with the unlimited right to sublicense) to Sponsor and Producer the right to use such materials, and the images related thereto, for any purpose (including any and all commercial purposes) with the right to modify the materials and make derivative works thereof. Entrants represent and warrant that the materials submitted will not infringe or violate any right whatsoever, including, without limitation, any personal rights (e.g., defamation, privacy, false light, moral right, etc.) or any property rights (e.g., copyright, trademark, right to ideas, etc.) of any person or entity and the use thereof will result in no third party liability or obligations. Illegible and/or incomplete entries and entries submitted by entrants who do not meet the eligibility requirements (including all requirements with respect to age and residence) are void. By participating in the Sweepstakes, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these "Official Rules" and the decisions of Sponsor and Producer, including the interpretation of these Official Rules, which will be final and binding in all respects.
NOTE ABOUT TWITTER: Sweepstakes Entities are not responsible for any changes or unavailability of the Twitter service that may interfere with the Sweepstakes (including any limitations, any restrictions, or any conditions on Sponsor's ability to use Twitter for the Sweepstakes as set forth herein that are not acceptable to Sponsor) or ability of entrant to timely enter, receive notices or communicate with Sponsor via Twitter, in which case Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may terminate or modify the Sweepstakes. In the event of a dispute concerning who submitted an entry, the entry will be declared to have been made by the registered account holder of the e-mail address associated with the Twitter account for the potentially winning entrant, but only if that person meets all other eligibility criteria or if that person is the approving parent or legal guardian of a minor participant who meets all of the eligibility criteria. A registered account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address. Potential winners may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that he/she is the registered account holder for the e-mail address associated with the Twitter account for the potentially winning entry. If a dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor's and Producer's satisfaction, the entry will be deemed ineligible. Any damage made to the Web Site or the Twitter service will be the responsibility of the registered account holder of the e-mail address for the Twitter account submitted at the time of entry. It is the potential winner's responsibility to set his/her account settings to accept contacts by Sponsor and to timely check his/her Twitter account for any Sponsor direct messages or @Replies.
MOBILE DISCLOSURE: If you opt to receive Sponsor's tweets, including any prize notification or other Sweepstakes-related tweets, via your wireless mobile device (which may only be available via participating wireless carriers and is not required to enter), standard text messaging rates will apply for each text message sent or received from your handset according to the terms and conditions of your service agreement with your wireless carrier. Other charges may apply (such as normal airtime and carrier charges) and may appear on your mobile phone bill or be deducted from your prepaid account balance. Wireless carriers' rate plans may vary, and you should contact your wireless carrier for more information on messaging rate plans and charges relating to your participation in this Sweepstakes. Participation in this Sweepstakes by mobile phone and text message means that you understand that you may receive additional text messages from Sponsor relating to this Sweepstakes, including to notify you if you are a potential winner in this Sweepstakes, which will be subject to the charges pursuant to your carrier's rate plan. Text messaging may not be available from all mobile phone service carriers and handset models. Cell phone service may not be available in all areas. Check your phone's capabilities for specific instructions.
4. Prizes and Values. One (1) potential winner will be randomly selected in each drawing, which drawing will be conducted by a representative of Producer and will take place on the drawing dates set forth in the chart above. There will be thirty (30) winners in the Sweepstakes (i.e., one (1) winner for each concert on the Casualties Resistance Tour as listed above). Each winner will receive a "Prize" of two (2) tickets to the concert for the date that they included in their tweet entry. Travel to/from the concert location will not be awarded as part of the prizing for this Sweepstakes. Sponsor will not be giving away tickets for any Canadian or music festival tour dates and these dates are intentionally omitted from the chart above. The total approximate retail value ("ARV") of each Prize (i.e., a pair of tickets) awarded in this Sweepstakes is between $30 and $120 (and the actual ARV depends on the particular concert and location of the tickets awarded). The total ARV of all Prizes awarded in this Sweepstakes is between $900 and $3600. To claim a Prize, you may be required to provide your correct full-name, mailing address, telephone number and/or e-mail address to Producer in response to Producer's request. Sponsor will not replace a lost or stolen Prize. Prizes are non-transferable, with no cash redemptions, equivalents or substitutions except at Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion. Prize details and availability are subject to change, and in the event that Sponsor is unable to provide the winners with their Prize, the Sponsor may elect, at the Sponsor's sole and absolute discretion, to provide winners with the approximate value of such item in cash or award an alternate prize of comparable or greater value. All Prizes are awarded "AS IS" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose). Prizing may be fulfilled by a third party.
Winners will be solely responsible for all federal, state and/or local taxes, and for any other fees or costs associated with the Prize they receive. The ARV of the Prizes is based on available information provided to Sponsor and the value of any Prize awarded to a winner may be reported for tax purposes as required by law. The winners may be required to provide Sponsor with a valid social security number before the Prize will be awarded for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in the name of winners, or if a minor in the jurisdiction in which s/he resides, in the name of his/her parent or legal guardian, for the actual value of the Prize received. Unclaimed Prizes will be forfeited.
Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision; you further agree that in any cause of action, the Sweepstakes Entities' liability will be limited to the cost of entering and participating in the Sweepstakes, and in no event shall the Sweepstakes Entities be liable for attorneys' fees and/or experts' fees and costs.
5. Section of Winners. The winners will be determined by checking the Twitter @Reply function responses received in the @ScionAV @Reply folder for qualified and complete @Reply responses to Sponsor updates calling for entries. Sponsor is not responsible for changes to the Twitter @Reply function that may interfere with Sweepstakes or ability of entrant to timely enter. The winners will be selected from all valid entries to the Sweepstakes received during the applicable entry period that includes the same concert date within the tweet entry (i.e., all entrants looking to win tickets for a particular concert on the tour will be pooled with all other entrants looking to win tickets for that same particular concert). The potential winners will be contacted using the direct message feature on Twitter for the user account that posted the responsive update if a winner is a follower of @ScionAV. It is your responsibility to timely set your account settings to accept contacts by Sponsor and to timely check your account for such messages. Sponsor is not responsible for any failure of delivery of notice attempting to use such methods. Each potential winner (and his or her parents or legal guardians if under the age of majority) may be required to respond to Producer and/or submit an Affidavit of Eligibility / Release of Liability / Prize Acceptance Form (collectively, the "Affidavit") within twenty-four (24 hours of attempted notification. If the Prize or Affidavit is returned to Sponsor as undeliverable, is lost, rejected or faulty or if Sponsor does not receive a response from any potential winner within twenty-four (24) hours of attempted notification, such potential winner may be disqualified and the Prize will be awarded to an alternate potential winner. Non-compliance may result in disqualification and award of the Prize to an alternate winner. If any potential winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines a Prize for any reason prior to award, such potential winner may be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected. If, for any reason, more bona fide winners come forward seeking to claim Prizes in excess of the number of each type of Prize set forth in these Official Rules, the winner(s), or remaining winner(s), as the case may be, of the advertised number of Prize(s) available may be selected in a random drawing from among all persons making purportedly valid claims for such Prizes. Inclusion in such drawing shall be each entrant's sole and exclusive remedy under such circumstances.
6. Odds. Odds of winning a Prize depend upon the total number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period for each tour/concert location listed above.
7. Releases/Disclaimers/Indemnity/Termination/Miscellaneous. By accepting a Prize, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each winner consents that the Sweepstakes Entities may use the winner's name, photograph, likeness (including his/her voice), the winner's hometown and biographical information, statements concerning the Sweepstakes, or the Sweepstakes Entities' products without further compensation or notice for purposes of advertising, promotion, and merchandising, and grant all rights to edit or modify and to publish and copyright it.
By entering and participating, entrant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sweepstakes Entities from and against any and all claims, demands, liability, damages or causes of action (however named or described) losses, costs or expenses, with respect to or arising out of or related to: (i) entrant's participation in the Sweepstakes, (ii) entrant's acceptance, use or misuse of a Prize (including, without limitation, any property loss, damage, personal injury or death caused to any person(s)); and (iii) to the extent relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by such entrant in connection with his or her acceptance of these Official Rules or Sweepstakes activities. Winners assume all liability for any injury or damage caused, or claimed to be caused, by participation in this Sweepstakes or use or redemption of a Prize.
Neither the Sweepstakes Entities, nor service providers are responsible for incorrect or inaccurate transcription of entry information, or for any human error, technical malfunctions, lost/delayed data transmission, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, line failures or any telephone network, computer equipment, software, inability to access or use the Web Site or on-line service, or any other error or malfunction, or late, lost, illegible, incomplete damaged, mutilated or misdirected entries or entries not properly forwarded to Sponsor. Sponsor and Producer are not responsible for any changes or unavailability of the Twitter service that may interfere with the Sweepstakes (including any limitations, any restrictions, or any conditions on Sponsor's ability to use the Twitter Service for the Sweepstakes as set forth herein that are not acceptable to Sponsor) or ability of entrant to timely enter, receive notices or communicate with Sponsor, in which case Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Sweepstakes. Entry materials that have been tampered with or altered are void. If the Sponsor or Producer determines, in its sole discretion, that there is any suspected or actual electronic tampering with the Sweepstakes or if technical difficulties compromise the integrity of the Sweepstakes, the Sponsor reserves the right to void the entries at issue and conduct a random drawing to award the Prize using all eligible entries received as of the termination date. If the Sweepstakes is terminated due to tampering or technical difficulties prior to its expiration date, notice will be posted on Twitter via a Sponsor update and/or on the site(s) where these Official Rules have been posted. WARNING: ANY ATTEMPT BY ANY PERSON TO UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE SWEEPSTAKES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, THE SPONSOR AND PRODUCER RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK FROM ANY SUCH PERSON DAMAGES AND ANY OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE SPONSOR TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Entries made by any other individual or entity and/or originating at any other Internet web site or e-mail address, including, but not limited to, commercial sweepstakes subscription notification and/or entering service sites, will be declared invalid and as such ruled ineligible for this Sweepstakes. Sponsor reserves the right to cancel or modify the Sweepstakes if fraud, misconduct or technical failures destroy the integrity of the Sweepstakes; or if a computer virus, bug, or other technical problem corrupts the administration or security of the Sweepstakes as determined by Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion. Any damage made to the Web Site or the Twitter service will be the responsibility of the account holder of Twitter account submitted at the time of entry. Proof of submitting entries will not be deemed to be proof of receipt by Sponsor. Any entries which are suspected of being fraudulent (including those using computer programs, macro, robotic, automatic, programmed or similar methods of participation) may be disqualified, based on determinations made solely by Sponsor. Sponsor and Producer reserve the right to prohibit the participation of an individual if fraud or tampering is suspected or if the account holder/entrant fails to comply with any requirement of participation as stated herein or with any provision in these Official Rules.
Sponsor's failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision; you further agree that in any cause of action, the Sweepstakes Entities' liability will be limited to the cost of entering and participating in the Sweepstakes, and in no event shall the Sweepstakes Entities be liable for attorneys' fees and/or experts' fees and costs.
8. Sweepstakes Communications. Any information entrants provide to Sponsor may be used to communicate with entrant in relation to this Sweepstakes or on a Sweepstakes winner's list.
9. Governing Law/Jurisdiction/Limitation on Remedies. The Sweepstakes and these Official Rules are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California (as distinguished from the choice of law rules) and the United States of America applicable to contracts made and performed entirely in California and where the relevant contacts are with such state. Except where prohibited, as a condition of participating in this Sweepstakes, each entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Sweepstakes, the Prize awarded, or the determination of the winner shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action. Further, in any such dispute, under no circumstances will an entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys' fees, other than entrant's actual out-pocket expenses, and entrant further waives all rights to have damages multiplied or increased.

The arbitration will be held in New York, New York or Los Angeles, California (which ever location is closer to Entrant's home). The arbitrator will apply the substantive laws of the state of California, will issue a written decision and will have the power to award any legal remedies except as limited by these Official Rules. The parties will split the arbitrator's fee; provided, however, if applicable law requires Sponsor to pay the arbitrator's fee in order for the arbitration provision to be enforceable, Sponsor shall have the discretion to elect to pay such fees and proceed to arbitration. Entrant irrevocably waives any right to bring or join in any class action regarding the Sweepstakes. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This arbitration provision shall be deemed to be self-executing, and in the event that any party fails to appear to any properly noticed arbitration proceeding, an award may be entered against such party notwithstanding said failure to appear. In no event shall any Entrant seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation of this Sweepstakes (or any web site connected therewith), exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of this Sweepstakes (or any content or other materials used or displayed on the Web Site) or the Entrant's entry.

DeLAND—Austin Perez and Mitchell Jordan combined on a three-hitter, helping Stetson to a series-clinching 8-2 win over Atlantic Sun Conference leader Lipscomb, Friday at Melching Field. Stetson goes for the series sweep on Saturday.
Despite a late start and soggy playing conditions, the Hatters (16-24 overall, 5-9 A-Sun) enjoyed perhaps their best game of the season. Stetson collected 11 hits and walked five times. Eight of nine players in the starting lineup reached base at least once. Perez and Jordan combined to strikeout nine and walk just one.
"It was a great win against a very good ballclub," said Stetson head coach Pete Dunn. "We pitched well. I'm really proud of Austin. It's been a long time coming. We were talking before the game that tonight is the night for him to breakout and get (his first win). Then Mitchell came in and did a great job to get the save."
Dunn also praised his offense.
"We swung the bats tonight. We had some big two-out hits, which he haven't been real good at for most of the season. We have to build on this win. We have to get greedy and get that third win tomorrow."
With Perez tossing up zeroes in the early going, Stetson struck for three runs in the third. Kevin Fagan started the rally with a lead-off walk, and a wild pitch and Tyler Bocock single put runners on the corners with none outs. Patrick Mazeika followed with an RBI double to make it 1-0.
Kyle Pitts doubled two batters later, scoring Bocock and Mazeika and Stetson owned a 3-0 lead.
Perez carried a no-hitter into the fifth inning before allowing a two-out single, and Lipscomb (24-16, 12-5) finally got to the senior left-hander in the sixth.
Back-to-back two-out RBI doubles by Drew Adams and Josh Lee made it a 3-2 game, but Jordan quieted the Bisons uprising by striking out Hunter Hanks to end the inning.
Stetson answered Lipscomb's rally with a run in the bottom of the sixth when Fagan's two-out single scored Mike Fernland to make it 4-2.
"We talk all the time about how there are two important, statement innings," said Dunn. "When you score, it's important for the pitcher and the defense to go out and shut the other team down. Also, it's just as important that when you do give up some runs that you come back and answer. We did both of those things tonight."
Stetson put the game away with three runs in the seventh. Josh Powers had an RBI double, and Kyle Zech and Fernland each had run-scoring hits to give the Hatters a 7-2 lead.
Stetson added its final run in the eighth on a double play.
Perez (1-6) finished with two runs – both unearned – on three hits in 5.2 innings. He walked one and tied a season-high with six strikeouts. Jordan earned his first career save with 3.1 innings of perfect relief. He struck out three.
Bocock led the Hatters with three hits, while Fernland extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a 2-for-3 effort. Fagan walked three times and scored twice.
Hunter Brothers (2-2) took the loss for Lipscomb, allowing three runs on three hits in 2.1 innings.
The Hatters and Bisons conclude their series at 1 p.m., Saturday.

Agricultural Resources and Environmental Indicators, 1996-97
Stay Connected
Agricultural Handbook No. (AH-712) 350 pp, July 1997
This report identifies trends in land, water, and commercial input use, reports on the condition of natural resources used in the agricultural sector, and describes and assesses public policies that affect conservation and environmental quality in agriculture. Combining data and information, this report examines the complex connections among farming practices, conservation, and the environment, which are increasingly important components in U.S. agriculture and farm policy. The report also examines the economic factors that affect resource use and, when data permit, estimates the costs and benefits (to farmers, consumers, and the government) of meeting conservation and environmental goals. The report takes stock of how natural resources (land and water) and commercial inputs (energy, nutrients, pesticides, and machinery) are used in the agricultural sector; shows how they contribute to environmental quality; and links use and quality to technological change, production practices, and farm programs.
Keywords: AREI, natural resources, farming practices, land use, water quality, conservation

The American Civil Liberties Union and Maui Peace Action members Mele Stokesberry and Chuck Carletta filed suit Thursday against Maui County in U.S. District Court, alleging that the county's public sign ordinances violate the public's constitutional right to free speech.
There was no immediate reaction Thursday afternoon from Maui County officials. County spokesman Ryan Piros said that he understood that the county had not been served with the lawsuit as of around 4 p.m.
According to an ACLU announcement, the lawsuit seeks immediate changes to county laws that prohibit people from displaying signs on sidewalks and along roadways.
The litigation takes issue with Maui County Code Section 12.42.030, which prohibits sign-waving within 50 feet of any traffic control signal, 20 feet of a pedestrian walkway or 6 feet from the edge of pavement or other highway surface.
The lawsuit said that the ordinance's regulations "constitute invalid time, place and manner restrictions and violate plaintiffs' First Amendment rights."
Specifically, because the regulations are not narrowly tailored, they "burden substantially more speech than is necessary to achieve any purported goal(s) the county might have"; and the regulations are "enforced erratically, such that defendant county is engaged in content-based discrimination and viewpoint-based discrimination," the lawsuit said.
In January, the county threatened to enforce the ordinance against a group of protesters, according to the ACLU announcement.
"At the same time, however, the county's own police officers violate these laws by regularly holding demonstrations about the dangers of drunk and distracted driving; indeed, just a few months before threatening to enforce the ordinance against the plaintiffs and other protesters, Maui Police Department officers had engaged in sign-waving with children and adults along busy Maui roads," the announcement says.
The ACLU said it contacted Maui County to request an amendment of the "unlawful ordinance," but the county refused.
"It is illegal for county officials to enforce these rules against some protesters but not against others, and it is illegal for the county to allow police officers to break the rules for messages the county supports," said Daniel Gluck, senior staff attorney for ACLU of Hawaii.
The lawsuit stems from a Jan. 21 march on sidewalks in downtown Wailuku by Stokesberry, Carletta and other peace activists to mark Martin Luther King Day.
Prior to the march, around Jan. 9, Stokesberry received an email message that march participants would be prohibited from carrying signs, other than photos of King or banners of the groups' organizations, according to the lawsuit.
On Jan. 11, Stokesberry spoke by telephone to a Maui police officer, who confirmed that the Maui ordinance prohibiting signs would be enforced against march participants and that the ordinance was necessary for traffic control and safety.
Nevertheless, Stokesberry and her husband, Carletta, decided to carry signs during the march, "even though there was a risk they could face criminal penalties as a result," the lawsuit says. "Plaintiffs Stokesberry and Carletta felt nervous, worried and/or threatened as they arrived at and participated in the march," the complaint says. "To date, however, neither plaintiff Stokesberry nor plaintiff Carletta has been ticketed, arrested or otherwise cited for her/his speech or actions leading up to or arising out of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day march."
In the ACLU announcement, Carletta said that the Maui group was protesting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which he called "a meaningful time to exercise our rights to free speech."
"It is also a day to celebrate Dr. King and the civil rights and peace movements that he sacrificed his life for," Carletta said. "We were stunned when we found out that the Maui County Police Department was threatening to issue tickets to anyone in this year's march carrying a sign with any written messages!"
Stokesberry added: "We have participated in many marches on Maui, and we have always carried signs expressing our ideas as we saw fit. We carried our signs in the march in January, as did many others, in spite of the threats, and we are delighted that the ACLU of Hawaii is willing to stand up for us and seek to overturn this egregious ordinance."
Gluck said that the county ordinance is "so broad that it effectively prohibits campaign sign-waving, protests, picketing, parades or other demonstrations across large portions of three islands (Maui, Molokai and Lanai)."
The lawsuit points out that there are commercial signs throughout Maui County, both permanent and temporary, that violate the text of the county sign ordinance.
"Indeed, there are myriad signs along and near the march route - for restaurants, real estate, the State Office Building (at the corner of High Street and Main Street in Wailuku) and so on" that violate the county ordinance, the complaint says. "As such, there appear to be no standards by which Maui County determines how and when to enforce" the ordinance.
The ACLU lawsuit asks a federal judge to declare the county sign ordinance unconstitutional and unconstitutional in the manner it was applied to the plaintiffs. It also seeks to prohibit Maui County from enforcing the sign regulations against the plaintiffs and others, and it asks for nominal damages to be awarded to Stokesberry and Carletta for wrongfully violating their constitutional rights.
The complaint can be found online at www.acluhawaii.org.

If you are craving the next level in gyroscopic fitness from a hand held gyro, the DFX Sports & Fitness V-Power is right up your alley. The V-Power gyro utilizes German-precision engineering to create up to 17,000 RPM's and 60 lbs of silky-smooth dynamic resistance in the palm of your hand. The V-Power features a new compact design which sits comfortably in the palm of your hand and enables greater control over the gyro. The newly developed rotor is comprised of aluminum and stainless steel which lessens the weight of the unit but allows it to spin faster, thus creating more resistance. Imagine a sphere the approximate size of a tennis ball that feels as though you are lifting a 60-pound dumbbell when spinning at full speed. The faster the V-Power gyro spins, the more resistance is automatically added. This exerciser is perfect for the athlete looking for a challenge or a way to get a competitive edge in their sport of choice.

The Mystery of Love.
The operas of Richard Strauss have held a special place at The Santa Fe Opera since its opening season, none more so than Salome, his 1905 adaptation of Oscar Wilde's study of extreme decadence. Salome established Strauss' reputation as an opera composer, provoking a storm of controversy on both sides of the Atlantic. This searing one-act drama of obsession and lust returns with a fresh staging that suggests the era when Salome was created: the Belle Epoque period of material and sensual indulgence that prevailed in Paris before World War I. Bulgarian soprano Alex Penda, who sang the role of Leonore in Fidelio last season, reveals the darkest mysteries of love one veil at a time as the heedless Salome. Ryan McKinny, whose "lyrical bass baritone voice drips with gold" (Opera News), makes his Company debut as Jochanaan. The licentious Herod and his vengeful wife Herodias will be sung by tenor Robert Brubaker and mezzo-soprano Michaela Martens. David Robertson, highly acclaimed music director of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, conducts.
Hear more about this exciting new production of Salome in these interviews from the cast and creative team.
Composer Richard Strauss
Librettist Hedwig Lachmann from Oscar Wilde's Salome
Sung in German
From the terrace of Herod's palace, Narraboth, captain of the guard, gazes rapturously inside at Princess Salome, who is feasting with her stepfather and his guests. The voice of the prophet Jochanaan echoes from a deep cistern, where he is imprisoned by Herod, who fears him. Salome, fleeing Herod's lechery, rushes out for fresh air and becomes curious when she hears Jochanaan curse her mother Herodias. When the soldiers refuse to bring Jochanaan to her, Salome convinces Narraboth, who orders that Jochanaan be summoned. Jochanaan and Salome meet as he denounces the incestuous union of Herod and Herodias. She is increasingly overcome by desire, praising his body, hair and mouth. When Salome begs for Jochanaan's kiss, Narraboth stabs himself in horror. Jochanaan urges Salome to seek salvation in the Messiah.
Herod and Herodias appear. Herod's thoughts turn to Salome, who spurns his attentions. He begs Salome to dance for him and offers her anything she might wish in return. Salome makes him swear he will live up to his promise, then dances. Salome demands the head of Jochanaan on a silver platter, ignoring Herod's alternatives — jewels, rare birds, a sacred veil. Terrified, Herod finally gives in. After a tense pause, Salome has her wish: the head of Jochanaan. Salome seizes her reward, triumphantly kissing his lips. Herod orders Salome to be killed.

The International Max Planck Research School Initiative in Germany
In 1999, the Max Planck Society together with the association of universities and other education institutions in Germany launched an initiative to promote the training of junior scientists called the "International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS)". These schools are conceived as centers of excellence in research training and offer especially talented pre-doctoral students from Germany and abroad the possibility to work towards their doctoral degree in a structured program providing excellent research conditions.
International Max Planck Research Schools are co-operations between Max Planck Institutes and universities and their particular focus is on linking the participating institutions and on international cooperation and networking.
In their decision to establish Research Schools, the Max Planck Society had three explicit goals: (i) to attract high potential students of all nationalities to Germany to conduct their doctoral studies in a first class research environment, (ii) to foster peer networks for future cooperative activities with German research institutes and universities and (iii) to strengthen interactions and communication between Max Planck Institutes and universities.
The research schools aim to provide structured PhD training programs and to foster close cooperation between the doctoral candidates and their advisors. A second layer of collective supervision by a thesis advisory committee is a central common element of all International Max Planck Research Schools. Substantial international student participation is an essential conceptual element and research schools typically aim to involve about 50% non-German nationals as fellows.
To date, more than 60 International Max Planck Research Schools have been established, involving many Max Planck Institutes, universities and other faculties. International Max Planck Research Schools are evaluated on a regular basis by an independent scientific commission to ensure continuous high levels of quality in graduate education.

For bariatric surgery, insurance companies usually require at least six to 12 consecutive months of documented diet history. Many also require nutrition and psychiatric consultations.
UPMC's Presurgical Lifestyle Program meets these insurance requirements.
Our office staff is available through every step of the process, to provide you and your insurance plan with additional information and details of bariatric surgery costs.
Contact us today to make an appointment and get your questions answered.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are many questions that you may have as you prepare to live on campus. Here are some of the Frequently Asked Questions that students have asked:
Are first-year students guaranteed housing?
Yes. First-year students are guaranteed housing if applications are received prior to May 15. Students sending housing applications after May 15 will be placed based upon availability of housing. First-year student housing is in our traditional halls: Hogle and Carleson and in our apartment style halls: Olwell and Behnken.
What if I have a friend who wants to live with me? or How ARE ROOMMATES PAIRED?
Specific roommates may be paired with one another and both should indicate on their housing contract/roommate preference form that they want to live with each other. However, this is not a guarantee. A first-year student may live in the Residential Village with other first-year students. First-year students will not be placed with upperclass students even if their prospective roommate is an upperclass student. If you do not have a friend you want to live with, roommates are matched based upon the Roommate Preference form required with the housing contract. Most roommates get along, although, on occasion problems arise. Resident Advisors (RAs) can mediate between roommates having troubles. If a problem cannot be resolved, students are sometimes relocated to another room.
Tell me about the residential meal plans. Do I have to have one?
All residential students are required to have a meal plan. Money on a meal plan that is not used during the fall semester can carry into the spring semester and May term, as long as the student continues to live in campus housing. However, students forfeit their remaining balances at the end of the academic year, or when they move out of campus housing. The meal plan is good only for the Shaw Dining Hall, Griff's Roost and library cafe. For more information on residential meal plans click here.
Tell me about the housing rules.
What types of activities are there?
Resident Advisor's program at least one event each month in the hall for their residents. Residence Hall Association (RHA) is a group of residents that plans social events in the halls as well. RHA serves as the voice for all students living within the residence halls. ASWC also provides numerous activities around campus. Programs include bands, dances, sporting events, open-mic night, comedians, lectures, diversity discussions, movies, and lots of free food! Most students are here on weekends, but some do take day trips up to ski!
May first-year students have cars on campus?
Any student is allowed to have a car on campus. However, parking may be difficult on weekdays during peak class hours. Students can easily survive without a car as numerous businesses and restaurants are within walking distance -- movie theater, grocery stores, clothing shops, and Barnes and Noble. You can also pick up public transportation next to campus.
Is this a safe campus?
Westminster is a very safe campus. Westminster has 24-hour/7-days-a-week campus security. For emergency situations, a professional staff member living on campus is always on call.
Do I have to move out over winter break?
If students are returning to the same room in the spring semester, they may leave their belongings in their room over Winter Break, but Campus Housing does close during the holiday season in December. Students can apply for an "Extension of Occupancy" in coordination with the Office of Residence Life in order to stay in campus housing over the Winter Break. Extension of Occupancy applications must be filled out prior to December 1 in order to be considered. Summer housing is available for continuing students.
Where do I tell my family and friends to send me mail?

High tale it is slang, from the South, which means to leave quickly or get away very fast. Usually used in reference to being caught (with your pants down), and you are in a major hurry!
"This tall, handsome kick-baller left his favorite Irish bar one night, and had to high tale it home because he finally had his one chance sitting next to him...a hot blonde with a gleam in her eye, a cold one in her hand...and a green light!"

The attractive travel, scientific and business location as well as the multicultural atmosphere attract guests from all over the world to visit the Zwinglistadt, which boasts over 50 museums and more than 100 galleries, international labels and Switzerland's most vibrant nightlife. With over 26,000 students, the University of Zurich, which was founded in 1833, is the largest of the ten Swiss universities. As a comprehensive university with over 150 schools, departments and clinics, it houses all the traditional faculties. From Central, the Polybahn, a narrow-gauge funicular, carries passengers up to the Poly terrace and to ETH Zurich (formerly called Polytechnikum), which has produced 21 Nobel laureates so far. Zurich-Enge is a quarter at the left shore of Lake Zurich - located between parks, moraine hills and Lake Zurich. With Wollishofen and Leimbach, it forms the Zurich district 2.

A 'doodle' is a closed intersecting curve drawn without taking
pencil from paper. Only two lines cross at each intersection or
vertex (never 3), that is the vertex points must be 'double points'
not 'triple points'. Number the vertex points in any order.
Starting at any point on the doodle, trace it until you get back to
where you started. Write down the numbers of the vertices as you
pass through them. So you have a [not necessarily unique] list of
numbers for each doodle. Prove that 1)each vertex number in a list
occurs twice. [easy!] 2)between each pair of vertex numbers in a
list there are an even number of other numbers [hard!]
How many different cubes can be painted with three blue faces and
three red faces? A boy (using blue) and a girl (using red) paint
the faces of a cube in turn so that the six faces are painted in
order 'blue then red then blue then red then blue then red'. Having
finished one cube, they begin to paint the next one. Prove that the
girl can choose the faces she paints so as to make the second cube
the same as the first.
Factorial one hundred (written 100!) has 24 noughts when written in full and that 1000! has 249 noughts? Convince yourself that the above is true. Perhaps your methodology will help you find the number of noughts in
10 000! and 100 000! or even 1 000 000!

The World Wide Web is so ingrained in our digital lives that it's easy to forget how awe-inspiring it really is. Don't believe me?
We know that there were 634 million active websites at the end of 2012 — 51 million more than 2011. Each site might have multiple pages, so experts guess that the Web might have as many as 1 trillion Web pages!
That's probably why the world's 2.4 billion Internet users needed to run 1.2 trillion Google searches last year!
None of this surfing and searching would be possible without something else that often gets taken for granted: the humble Web browser. Many people have misconceptions about browsers. Let's clear them up.
1. A browser is a search provider. When asked what a browser is, it's common for people to start rattling off names like Google, Bing and Yahoo. In the nondigital world, browsing and searching are similar activities. When you're shopping in a store, you "browse" the aisles "searching" for items.
In the digital sense, they are two different things. A search provider is a company, like Google or Yahoo, with a website. When you search, your activity is done on one site.
A browser, on the other hand, is the program you use to access the entire Internet. You can access millions of sites, not just search providers.
Think of your browser like a TV and websites like channels. If someone asks you what kind of TV you have, you would say Sony or Samsung, not Discovery or Disney.
Confusion alert: Most browsers do have a built-in search feature. However, this is just a faster way of visiting a search provider's site and performing a search.
This might seem like I'm splitting hairs, but for tech people, it really is a big deal. You don't know how many people I've tried to help who can't tell me what browser they use. In some cases, it can make all the difference to figuring out the problem.
So what browser names should you know? There are more than a dozen browsers around, but only a few major ones: Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
That leads us to the second misconception.
2. Web browsers are all the same. A browser is transparent technology. For the most part, you don't think about your browser; you just use it.
Of course at some point, you do need to think about your browser. Just like older TVs can't display the newest movies and shows correctly, older browsers have trouble with newer Web standards, like HTML5. That means you aren't seeing newer websites the way you should. In some cases, they won't even show up!
Then there's the security issue. Every day, hackers create thousands of new threats that target your computer, and your browser is a doorway that could let any of them in.
If a hacker can get you to click on the wrong thing or visit the wrong page while you're browsing, your personal information is theirs. That's not a good thought.
Obviously, you want security software installed as defense. You can find plenty of great, free security software here: www.komando.com/securitycenter.
However, an up-to-date browser is also a good defense. Newer browsers have security features that older browsers don't, like sandboxing and integration with Windows' latest security systems. Plus, they've fixed the security flaws found in older browsers that hackers exploit.
So for those running Internet Explorer 6, 7 or 8, Firefox 3 or older versions of Chrome, it's time to upgrade. If you don't know what version of your browser you're using, it's usually under Help>>About, or visit http://bit.ly/14Kgz88.
Once you upgrade, you'll be in good shape. Newer browsers automatically install updates to stay fast and secure.
So newer browsers are better than older browsers, but are browser brands different? For example, Windows and OS X come with Internet Explorer and Safari, respectively, installed by default. Is there any reason to replace Internet Explorer with Firefox, Chrome or Opera? If you're running Windows XP, the answer is a resounding yes! XP can't run any IE version newer than 8, and IE8 is terrible for browsing speed and security.
If you're still using IE8, I strongly recommend you switch to another browser. The latest, safest, fastest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Opera will work in XP.
For those running Windows Vista, 7, 8 or Mac OS X, the difference between browsers isn't so great. If you have the latest version of your browser, they're all similar in performance and security. The best part is that they're all free, so you can download and test them out. You might end up using multiple browsers to deal with multiple tasks.
Firefox is great for people who love to have lots of tabs open at once and like to customize their experiences with add-ons. Chrome is geared toward speed and staying out of the way. Opera is a solid all-around browser for speed and features, plus it works the same on every gadget. Internet Explorer 10 is fine for people who don't want to mess around with a third-party browser.
And that brings us to the final misconception.
3. You're stuck with your default mobile browser. On the whole, the default mobile browsers on smartphones and tablets are less than stellar. Users of iOS get a mobile version of Safari. Android uses a generic Android browser. Windows Phone 8 smartphones and Windows RT tablets have a mobile version of Internet Explorer 10.
As far as speed and features go, these aren't on par with desktop browsers. Fortunately, there are plenty of third-party alternatives that improve speed, security and features.
For example, there's a mobile version of Opera called Opera Mini that is popular. Google and Mozilla make mobile versions of Chrome and Firefox, respectively. If you use the desktop version of the browser, you can even sync your bookmarks.
Then there are browsers that aren't from one of the major companies. Dolphin is a popular Android alternative. There are even browsers like BSecure that offer content filtering for kids.

Reviews for Grilled Steaks with Mushroom Sauce
"Like calgarymom, I was expecting it to be a thick, creamy sauce. So I added some cream, and dissolved some cornstarch in the broth. I used a horseradish mustard instead of the Dijon since the green market in town had none, and my fiancé and I enjoyed the bite it gave the sauce. I'm still fairly new to cooking, and have had quite a few failures in trying to find a good steak sauce ( my fiancé really loves steak so I try to find different ways to serve it) it came out a touch salty at first (I didn't realize how salty the broth was so I seasoned without tasting) so I added some white wine towards the end. It turned out great, and was a big hot with my fiancé."
"This is simply a bland recipe, copied by several others. The main thing is the quality of the steak you buy. Forget Wal-Mart unless you like a tire inner-tube with you meal and I mean one of their claimed best steaks.. One should go to one of the many grill/BBQ sites to improve this recipe."
"Have made this many times since finding it last year. It is always a hit! Thanks CalgaryMom for the suggestion of adding sour cream. I'll try it next time that way.It also works well on hamburgers- I'm not a big fan of the usual ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickle relish combos."
"I always keep a jar of minced garlic in my refrigerator so I added about a tsp. to the mushrooms. But I totally enjoyed this recipe! It was quick & delicious!"
"We use the finger test for testing the steaks' doneness. I've made this recipe twice. The first time, I made the sauce exactly as the recipe said. My husband and 2 friends loved it. I did not. I expected a creamy sauce. So last night when I made it, I added some sour cream, some ground pepper & a little bit of cornstarch to thicken. The spices in the sauce are delicious, and last night the sauce was truly a restaurant quality sauce. Loved it. TFS!"
"Fast and delicious - the sauce is subtle but very flavorful. Restaurant quality!"
"this sauce is very good.I will make again and do nothing different."
"very good, I like the flavor of the rosemary in the sauce"
"very good, I like the flavor of the rosemary in the sauce"
"Very easy recipe, with great flavors. I used fresh thyme as I had it on hand, and it was a lovely addition."

Columnist: GOP must stick to its principles
April 20, 2013
SALEM — Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin delivered the same message to Columbiana County Republicans that she said the GOP needs to deliver to America: the message of opportunit....
The city we knew and enjoyed is going away...in so many ways it's a shame.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Excellent point Dubfun. Until the extremeists in both parties wake up and cooperate, there will be nothing but gridlock in Washington. Compromise is not a dirty word unlike what some on here believe.
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"GOP must stick to it's principles." Are these the same principles that exclude the forty-seven percent? We learned a difficult lesson during the last election; what some people espouse in public completely contradicts what they say behind closed doors. Make sure you know everything about your heroes(like Ms. Malkin) before you put them on a pedestal. Blind devotion to our leaders just because they have a conservative or liberal label has been proven historically to be a tragic mistake.

My goodness, seems I struck a nerve. So many rambling, incoherent posts. I find it interesting that you think you know so much about me and my beliefs.
In answering the post saying I lied. My first post for this article asked if you were too afraid to go anywhere in Salem without your gun. Ended it with a question mark so I guess it's a question. Sorry...didn't lie but in your anger you are once again throwing out blind accusations.
Secondly. I voted for Obama vs. McCain. I could have voted for McCain but that ended when he selected that airhead to be his running mate and with a man of that age there was no way that I wanted her anywhere near the Oval Office.
Since you know me so well then you already know that I voted for Romney in this past election.
So where do I pick up my dollar or doughnut?

I wonder if the folks carrying illegally read these signs? Will preventing legal guns stop a crime in these stores?

"When they say No Guns it no guns that is the law."
Did anyone say differently? Did I?
What's your point?
As I have read most of you posts sometime you sound like you are above the law
As I read sounds like your hide is wearing thin.
As for the GOP after the 46 cowards voted against background checks. Those 46 have no principals, only the love of licking the boots of the NRA. Have fun today!

Haha. Where to begin... 1. Not a leftist nor a righty. I'm like a majority of America...in the middle. I'm relatively new to the comment board and usually just laugh at some of the posts, but you guys have gone unchallenged for too long. I'll be around to make sure you don't think too highly of yourselves. 2. You really want to compare home insurance to CCW? Another ridiculous post that is comparing apples to oranges. 3. To Not socialist: I'm sure those businesses that won't let you carry really are shaking in their boots that you don't patronize their stores. Hospitals,schools and the Community Center are likewise relieved that they won't have to deal with your presence 4. If you think I'm "smearing" someone because I asked a simple question then you are WAY to sensitive. Perhaps too sensitive to be carrying.
I'm sure I'll get witty and enlightened commentary...fresh from the talking points of Fox News. BTW, I don't exclusively watch MSNBC either.

I could care less about what Michele Malkin feels about CCW. My point is that if you feel the need to carry a gun then you are living in fear. If you want to carry, fine he law says you can. You want to point out Newtown, I'll return with an event that happened on this date in 1999. Columbine had an armed guard with a gun...he didn't prevent the massacre.

Newtown has a population of 2000. Compare that population to Salem. They had a nut case that went berserk in their population and gun free zones. Are you this complacent that you don't believe we have these sort of people living amongst us in Salem with our population and size? Think again. Don't make fun of people that want to ensure and protect their safety...you may live in denial that Salem has a dome around us protecting us from the rest of the world...because this makes you FOOL.

OSU600 that remark was uncalled for. Why do you assume it's fear? What about "right"? What is the point of issuing CCW permits if you are told when and where that permit is permissible?
Maybe if you understood Michelle Malkins stance on CCW first, maybe that would have connected that point before you insulted notSocialist.
Are you calling Michelle Malkin a coward?

"no CCW allowed" I see that stopped everyone else from attending. You must be pretty self important.

Public venues that are known to be gun free zones attract cowards who kill. Proven fact.

When you fear everything you have to stay safe.
