Nickname: Cam, Cammy
Age: 14
Sex: Male
Dorm: Suicune
Appearance: Camdyn stands at a rather decent 5' 9", and has the slender build to complement it, much like that of a runner or a swimmer. His head is topped with a mop of crimson hair; the kind of red that looks ruddy from a distance, but grows more vivid and red-violet the closer you get. It falls in long bangs over his forehead and in places dips into his deep amethyst eyes, which have thin shocks of light lavender running through them, creating a sort of kaleidoscope effect. His eyes are big and bright, and they rest at almost a perfect distance from each other and his small, button nose. There is a splash of freckles across said surface, which are darker than his already caramel complexion. His mouth is usually small, with thin lips and pearly white teeth. There is almost an imperceptible gap between his front teeth, but if you look for more than a few seconds you'll see it there. He has high cheekbones, with a slightly thin face and a small, prominent chin.
His shoulders are somewhat close set, and his arms are long, his fingertips reaching halfway down his thighs. His hands are of average size, and his fingers are long and thing, his ring and little fingers slightly cocked inwards and all with slightly bony knuckles. His torso is somewhat long, as are his legs, which also radiate a spidery grace. His feet, however, are unusually large, and he likes to try to conceal the fact. He likes to wear a variety of garments in his wardrobe, but the most common thing he wears on school grounds is a plain short-sleeved t-shirt with a wide, open collar, and three buttons, somewhat like those of a polo, along with skinny jeans and blue/black checker-patterned slip-on shoes.
Personality: Camdyn is a recluse. There's pretty much no other way to put it. He is kind-hearted and quiet, and quite intelligent to boot. Polite and caring, he'll gladly hold open a door or help with a heavy load. The only problem is, the only words you'll get out of him are "you're welcome"; and that's if you're a lucky one. He doesn't know how to go about a conversation, and has to think about every word he says (or doesn't say). He will never start a conversation on his own, and would rather go on in class silently without a pencil instead of asking someone to borrow one. He's uncomfortable when making an effort to talk to someone, but feels he should hold to a conversation for as long as necessary, and as soon as the opportunity comes up, he'll issue a farewell and keep going about his business. The only people he feels comfortable talking to are those he's been exposed to for extended periods of time, like family and close classmates. Books and solitude, knowledge and learning, have become his paradise and coping mechanism, his comfort and solace, and his curtain behind which to hide from the intimidating world.
It's the social interaction that makes him uncomfortable, but he hates that about it; and so he has come out with a low self-confidence, and usually puts others before himself, doubting his own abilities while also trying his best to overcome it. He's smart enough to understand why he feels how he does; he led a sheltered life, and by the lessened interaction, abrasive childhood friends and arrogant peers, he has developed a self-demeaning mindset, yet he can't shake himself of it. He persists enough, though, that he can maintain a good conversation with peers if they so wish and if he finds the topic interesting. He tries harder every day to become more comfortable with those around him, and it's become easier for him with adults and other students who have things in common or are on the same level as him in terms of personality and maturity. And once you get past his wall, he's a lax person with a kind heart. He laughs a lot, and you'll definitely be able to tell that he's comfortable and happy to be around you.
History: Camdyn was born to Moira Millor (nee Bourdone) and her husband, Vincent Garrett Millor, in Canalave City in the Sinnoh region. Moira, owner and manager of the local Pokemart, and Vincent, head librarian at the famous Canalave Library, made enough in wages to more than support their son and give him all he wanted in life. Vincent, despite being a librarian, was the unstructured and clownish parent, spending a lot of time at home reviewing books for the library and teaching Camdyn about the lore and mysteries of Sinnoh. His mother, then, was disciplined but hotheaded, and very loving and protective towards her son. They lived a quiet life, and for his third birthday they got him an Eevee egg, which hatched almost three months after the occasion, being named Olive when the event occured.
Camdyn was homeschooled by his father on the basic topics of Pokémon training, like status conditions and battles, and he and Olive started to train themselves when the former turned 8. They would go out to the docks, and Vincent would ask the fisherman to fish up a catch they could battle earlier in the morning before he went to the library. Olive would succeed in about 3/4 of her battles against the Pokémon, and after three years' time, they would be battling the fishermen themselves. Olive, being feisty, would be angry at her new success ratio of 1:3, and Camdyn asked his father how Olive could become stronger. He said that she could evolve, and knew that there were many ways for her to evolve. After showing her all the possible evolutions Olive made her pick, and Vincent set out with his son to travel to Eterna Forest on foot, since both got nastily seasick very easily.
They first crossed a bridge over to Jubilife City, where they stayed a night at an inn and Camdyn was challenged by local trainers at the school. It went on like this, with a couple close scraps here and there, and they eventually stopped at an inn on the road, near Eterna Forest. They set out in the early morning to find the Mossy Rock, and Olive led the way, being able now to sense the stone's cool aura. After a few hours of trekking through the forest, they found the rock, and the small Eevee started to feel the hype; she started barking and yipping, irritating nearby Pokémon. A Buneary came out and attacked her, and a surprisingly short battle ensued, since Olive soon evolved into a Leafeon. But then a horde of Dustox swarmed, as in the battle the Pokémon knocked themselves into several trees and ground-level nests. Olive seemed overwhelmed and at a strong disadvantage, but soon the tide was turned as a Buizel from the river near Floaroma Town they had befriended showed up. It turned out that the guy had been following them since their encounter, during which they had given him an extra sandwich neither of them had wanted. He pledged his loyalty to Camdyn and his father as best he could and gained the moniker "Jett."
Camdyn's thirst for knowledge grew with age, and three years after the encounter in Eterna Forest, and was invited to join the Pokémon Trainer Academy. His parents were thrilled to learn that he was accepted by the school ("In the top dorm, even! I'm so proud of you, honey!"), and he set off on the next boat out of Canalave, Olive and Jett accompanying him, all three wondering what would be in store during this next stage in their lives together.

LAHAINA - Dave Odom, the tournament chairman of the EA Sports Maui Invitational, looks around college basketball and sees a disturbing trend.
According to the NCAA, 40 percent of men's college basketball players will not be competing at their original school by the end of their sophomore year.
At this week's tournament at the Lahaina Civic Center, Southern California arrived with eight transfers from four-year schools on its 17-player roster; Marquette had four; tournament champion Illinois had two; runner-up Butler had only one, but it was all-tournament selection Rotnei Clarke.

Southern California played Texas (orange uniforms) on Tuesday at the EA?Sports Maui Invitational. The Trojans had eight transfers from four-year schools. The Longhorns had none.

Mississippi State has no four-year transfers, but did have two from junior college. Tournament host Chaminade, an NCAA Division II school, has five four-year transfer players.
Only Texas and North Carolina had no transfers in this season's Maui Invitational.
"I think we have made it too easy for them to transfer, to begin with," said Odom, a former head coach at East Carolina, Wake Forest and South Carolina. "Easy, as in, you leave and you are eligible right away. I mean we are seeing a propensity of people leaving one school and starting the next year at the other school and it creates an uneasiness among coaches and the fans. They have a hard time locking into the team because they don't know who the team is going to be from year to year.
"I don't think that is a good thing, I really don't."
Odom says the world of college basketball has become too transient.
"We are not professional in nature," he said. "The NBA or the NFL, they buy and trade players every year and that is just part of it, but I don't think that's the way it should be in college basketball or college football. There needs to be more stability and if we truly had the best interests of the student-athletes at heart, then we need to spend more time trying to help them become more stable in their life and not be so ungrateful and so expectant of things to come."
Jamil Wilson is a fourth-year junior - he transferred from Oregon after his freshman season in 2009-10, when he started 14 games for the Ducks. He was the 30th-rated prep player in the nation by Scout.com his senior season at Horlick High School in Racine, Wis. He left Oregon after coach Ernie Kent was fired, and sat out the 2010-11 season under the NCAA transfer rule.
"I think it's been great," Wilson said after Marquette finished 2-1 at the LCC. "I think it was the best move for me at that time, it was right for me. Leaving my senior year of high school and going to Oregon turned out to be pretty good.
"I took a year off and I got beat up (in practice) every day. . . . So I think the progress has been great and I think the choice I made was awesome."
Odom said the instability makes his job harder to select teams for the Maui Invitational.
"A good example is Mississippi State's team," Odom said. "That agreement was made two years ago with Rick Stansbury, who at the time had a top-25 team and there was no reason to believe that there was going to be anything different when 2012 came along, but that thing exploded in April. Not only was (Stansbury) gone as the head coach, but eight or nine of their players have splintered - they got out of there.
"Rick Ray, who ended up being the coach, was left with a shell of a team. It's really disappointing, but you may see more of that."
After injuries and a suspension, the Bulldogs had no players available this week who had started a game for the team prior to this year. They were outscored 253-166 while going 0-3 here.
Odom said the solution to the transfer explosion is simple.
"I just think the NCAA has got to hold tight," he said. "If a kid is going to transfer he has got to sit out a year. I don't think there's any other way to do it. It worked fine for years. Once they made that one exception about, well, if a kid transfers because of one of his parents is critically ill or something like that or if they want to get back closer to home. . . . In truth, they should have thought about that kind of thing before they made a choice."
Odom also does not like the rule allowing graduates to transfer without penalty.
"The original school trained the kid for three years," Odom said. "They taught him how to play, they gave him an education and now whenever the kid should be at his best, he transfers and takes what he has learned at this school to another school. I don't like that. It teaches our kids that loyalty is not important."

Malcolm Browne and the Burning Monk2012-08-29 4 13 Share Tweet
Malcolm Browne, the photographer behind the iconic photograph of a Buddhist monk performing self-immolation in Saigon in 1963, has passed on last August 28 at the age of 81. In his honor, let's take a closer look at the story behind his iconic image. WARNING: Contains graphic images.
On the eve of June, 10, 1963 in Saigon, Vietnam, members of various foreign press news agencies received a call to be present in the coming morning at a certain location for a "very important" happening. Most of the correspondents ignored the calls, thinking that they were just mere bluffs. Only a handful decided to cover the event, and one of them was Malcolm Browne, an Associated Press correspondent.
The next morning, June 11, a group of Buddhist monks and nuns gathered on an intersection in one of the streets in Saigon, Vietnam. In the middle of the circle formed, an elderly monk by the name of Thich Quang Duc arrives and sits calmly in a lotus position. Browne, along with the other spectators, look on as a couple of younger monks douse his body with liquid. Their curiosity, however, turns into silent horror as Duc strikes a match, drops it on his lap, and his body is promptly engulfed in flames.
"… It was every bit as bad as I could have expected… I don't know exactly when he died because you couldn't tell from his features or voice or anything. He never yelled out in pain. His face seemed to remain fairly calm until it was so blackened by the flames that you couldn't make it out anymore." – Malcolm Browne, in an interview with TIME in 2011.
The act was part of a protest against the persecution and the religious tension between the Buddhists and the Roman Catholic government led by Ngo Dinh Diem.
The photographs caused such an impact all over the globe that it has marked the start of the rebellion of not just the Buddhist clergy, but of the common Saigon citizens as well. It has also prompted the then-US President John F. Kennedy to order a re-evaluation of the United States' stand in the Vietnamese regime.
"No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one." – President John F. Kennedy
The event itself is also said to trigger the start of the collapse of the Diem Regime, which ended a few months later, when Diem, along with his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu, were assassinated.
As for Browne, the photographs quickly spread and were featured on the front pages of newspapers worldwide, eventually leading to his earning of the Pulitzer Prize as well as the World Press Photo of the Year.
Browne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2000 and spent his last years using a wheelchair to get around. He was rushed to the hospital Monday night after experiencing difficulty breathing, said his wife, Le Lieu Browne, who lives in Thetford, Vermont.

The national and Southeast economies were still growing during the summer, but more slowly than earlier this year, the Federal Reserve found in a periodic report released today. The "Beige Book," an anecdotal survey of business activity done 10 times a year, provided more proof that the economic recovery is sputtering.
The Federal Reserve uses the report in its deliberations on interest rates and other economic policy.
The Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank said that "the pace of economic activity continued to slow in July and August" across its region, which includes all of Alabama and southern Mississippi.
The Atlanta beige book found that while tourism was hard-hit on the Gulf Coast, tourist traffic was better than last year in most of the rest of the region. "Northeast Florida, Georgia, and mountain resorts in Tennessee saw an increase in activity -- some reportedly as a result of deflected business from the oil affected areas."
Retailers said customer traffic and sales dipped, and factories said new orders were not growing as rapidly as before. The real estate market remained weak, and "outlook for both new and existing home sales growth over the next several months was pessimistic."
Banks said loan demand was weak, while businesses said bank loans were hard to get, or not needed because there's no expectation of growth.
Businesses increased their number of employees modestly, but mainly dealt with higher demand by increasing hours of existing employees and hiring temporary workers.
"While the long-term impact of the oil spill on labor markets is still unknown, businesses along the Gulf coast noted that, so far, job losses have been largely offset by hiring in clean-up and mitigation efforts," said the Atlanta Fed.

Transgender Suicide Prevention Online Chat
Trevor Project GLBT Suicide Prevention Hotline
Do Hormones change your mind?
by Laura Amato
There are many who say that any mind changes for those on MTF (male to female) hormones are mostly psy-chological.They also say that any sexual orientation changes are psychological as well. Does this mean that if this does happen that there was some secret desire there all along? Some say yes. I say No. I believe that at least Female hormones can change the way we think, who we're attracted to and what our intrests are. I suspect that that is true of male hormones as well.
Let me start by saying that I've been in therapy off and on since I was 21 years old. I'm 55 now. The longest stint in therapy is the most recent, 20 years. You would think that in all that time if there were any secret desires or intrests that I would've noticed them before i recently restarted hormones again after a long absense. Certainly my shrink of 20 years would've found that out.
I've got to say that from my own experience that estrogen no matter what the source can have a powerful effect on the mind. Actually most changes were subtle while one a few years ago was quite a shock.
Editor's note 1: Originally I took herbal phytoestrogen's because the ad's said they were safe. What they didn't say is that for feminization they were recommending mega dose of 8 pills a day when the actual suggestion on the bottle was 1 a day for menopausal syptoms in born women. In March 1996 I had a stroke from bleeding on the brain. My Doctor said it was caused by excessive blood thinning from the high doses. Since I was already on blood thinners this was a disaster. He also said that the pills significantly raise chloresterol which leads to clogged arteries and heart attacks. In three 1/2 years we have had several reports of users here who have had strokes and heart attacks while on Phytoestrogens. All took the megadoses recommended for trans people. To me this is proof that phytoestrogens are not safe at least for trans people. The slight miniscule growth I got was not worth a stroke. All of us reported this to the manufacturers who did not return our calls. This indicates they know full well of the risks though they still insist they are safe.
Editor's note: In August of 2004 I went to an Endocrinologist who prescribed .4mg Estradol and 2 mg of Premarin. In November of 2004 I had to stop hormones because of a bloodclot in my leg. I am Presently hoping to restart hormones soon after blood levels are satisfactory. When I do restart it will be without the Premarin.
I used to kid my girlfriend about her cleaning habits. No matter where she was she always felt obligated to clean up. I've always at least cleaned up after myself but not to the point she does. Even if we're in a bar she'll take everything in front of us bring it up to the bar, ask for a rag and wipe up the place we were sitting in front of. She'd even do this kind of thing in other peoples homes. I'd explain that's what waitresses are paid for. Now after restarting hormones for a couple of months I find myself doing the same thing everywhere I go. Even others have noticed. My bartender recently pointed that out to me. I don't even think about it.
Another change is I've always been into video games. I'd spend hours at it. I even had a web site devoted too it. Suddenly I stopped and lost all intrest and closed the site and stopped playing. While I've never been a sports nut I always at least watched the major games especially when the local teams were playing. Now I'm not intrested at all. Out of the blue I developed an intrest in sewing. I used to throw out shirts with missing buttons and now I'm making myself an apron. Wow! Does this mean at the family holiday gatherings I'll automatically start washing dishes with the girls instead of watching football with the guys? I tend to think so. The wierd thing is my behavior is changing and I'm not even offically out of the closet yet, though that will be soon. Even the words I've used have changed all without even thinking about it. It makes me wonder who creates stereo-types. Is it really society or hormones? Fortunatley I don't mind these changes. In fact I embrace them.
About three years ago I tried the hormones for the second time. I stayed on them for almost six months. Then something happened that scared me and I suddenly stopped them. I'll tell you why. I always have always been attracted to women. if you check my bio you'll see that I can't stand men. I can't even imagine a friendship with one let alone a relationship even if I become the woman I desire. One day I noticed something. This woman whose derrierre I have admired and lusted after for years suddenly didn't intrest me. Instead I noticed this one guys ass and it shocked the hell out of me enough to quit the hormones. Why? Was it psychological? I don't think so.
This time on hormones (2 months) I've noticed none of that. if anything, no one intrests me any more. The one thing I did notice was that all three times on hormones I did notice one thing though. I suddenly got intrested in shopping... shopping... Shopping.
Hmmmm.. so my changing estrogen soaked brain is coming to a conclusion here, but is it logical? If you want to stop a woman from shopping give her testosterone and if my girlfriend wants her sons to clean there rooms she should give them estrogen. I wonder if all the worlds problems could be solved this easily?
Sounds logical to me.

compression LZX's variation
Hello, I would like to know if someone can help me to do a bookshop for unpack a few files of textures or at least, that it(he,she) throws a bit of light and indicates me like to begin.
Pardon for the translations of goolge, they are pernicious...
Every GTAIV resource (xtd-textures for example) has got following stucture:
4 bytes - Magic ('RSC')
4 bytes - Type (version - textures has "7")
4 bytes - Flags
<<Data in ZLIB on PC and LZX on XBox360>>
From 'flags' value can be calculated sizes of SysSegment and GpuSegment of unpacked data.
CpuSegSiz := (flags and $7FF) shl (((flags shr 11) and $F) + 8);
uint systemSegSize = (flags & 0x7FF) << (((flags >> 11) & 0xF) + 8);
I believe that the compression is LZX's variation.

Only two days until I leave for Ukraine. I still can't believe it is almost here. I'm so excited!
I made lots of small cookies to give to the Ukrainians. We'll have our first women's retreat next Monday through Wednesday.....and are expecting 50 + women there. And then we'll try to visit at least 50 homes of the seniors the rest of the time we are there. I have about 130 cookies.....so I think I'm covered. :)
I'm always trying to figure out what are the best shapes to do for UA. Some things we have in the States they wouldn't relate to at all. So I chose flowers, butterflies, ladybugs, and tea pots.
I'm hoping for one last post tomorrow before I leave on Thursday morning. I want to show you the fun cookies I made for my ministry team members.
Thanks for all your prayers, notes, and support! I really appreciate all of you so much. :)

Graphic Design Series
WVC Graphic Design student Jodi Holmes presents her design proposal to a community client.
This two-year sequence of courses is designed to provide students with entry-level skills in the field of graphic design. The development of design skills and creation of a portfolio will also help prepare students to continue their studies in graphic design at a four-year school. The series is structured to provide a practical, hands-on experience in graphic fundamentals.
Using the most current information, technology and equipment possible, the graphic design sequence addresses basic design principles, layout techniques, professional typographic treatments, computer applications, digital illustrations, computer production techniques, offset printing requirements and business practices.
Our excellent instructors, who are practicing professionals in the field of creative design, assist students in the creation of practical design pieces that ultimately become an integral part of professional student portfolios.
Though the content of the courses are designed for maximum graphic design skills and experience, this sequence does not conclude in an official degree or certificate in graphic design. Furthermore, if transferring to a four-year institution, students should verify the transferability of the WVC Graphic Design courses at their desired institutions.
Student Testimonials
Marissa Collins received a certificate of completion in the graphic design sequence in June of 2010. "I don't consider myself an artist," she said, "but I am visually creative. This class not only opened my mind to different ways of implementing that creativity, but it also taught me how to do so for a real client. I recently presented a set of logo designs to CEOs of a new health-care clinic, and I was confident because the graphic design series prepared me for every step in the process."
Instructor David Hampton continues to be Collins' teacher and mentor after graduation. "What he teaches cannot be learned in a textbook," she said. "He pushes you to think for yourself, express your individual creativity, and confidently explain your way of thinking."
Collins currently works at JB Marketing Group as a marketing executive and is finishing her B.A. in social science at WSU Online.

A judge in Pennsylvania ordered a county clerk to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.
Montgomery County Register of Wills Bruce Hanes has issued 174 licenses since July.
He said he believes the state's same-sex marriage ban violates the Pennsylvania constitution.
Judge Dan Pellegrini issued a ruling on Thursday, saying no one but the courts can decide if a statute is unconstitutional.
The ruling said Hanes' personal view on marriage is irrelevant.
Hanes said he's "on the right side of history" and hopes his actions have helped the cause of marriage equality, according to the Associated Press.

Reformation of the labor arbitration rules doesn't sound like a very charismatic legislative goal.
But changing the system of arbitration law that has been in place since 1968 would have a far-reaching impact.
Lock Haven Mayor Rick Vilello, president of the Pennsylvania Municipal League and a member of the Coalition for Sustainable Communities, joined Williamsport Mayor Gabriel J. Campana in detailing the proposed changes last week.
He described the changes as "pro-taxpayer and pro-public safety and not anti-union."
He may get some disagreement on that, but the changes would certainly level out the system in place now with the following reforms:
Make an arbitration award based on evidence presented during negotiation and calculations of new costs to municipalities.
Prohibit post-retirement health care and pension benefits from being the subject of collective bargaining.
Penalize either party for failing to engage in good-faith bargaining.
Start the arbitration process earlier.
Expand the neutral arbitrator list from three to seven.
Require the cost of arbitration to be shared equally by both parties.
Encourage presentation of the proposals to be open to the press and public to prompt more serious offers from both sides.
Allow appeals of arbitration decisions to the courts.
Frankly, some of these measures should already be in place but they are not.
And, to be honest, the system in place now encourages public unions to seek arbitration rather than an agreement when negotiating with municipalities.
The proposal is in the state Senate right now. History suggests it will be tough to get passage, but it's worth a try, given the positive changes this proposal could bring to the arbitration process.
As it stands now, there's not a lot of motivation for the labor side of a negotiation to come to terms given the way the arbitration playing field is tilted.
These changes would promote mature discussion toward a labor agreement rather than rewarding impasses as the system now does.

News Briefs: Early voting begins for Ga.'s primary runoffs
7/4/2014, midnight
ATLANTA (AP) - Early voting has begun for Georgia's primary runoffs, including a closely watched battle between two Republicans vying for the state's open Senate seat. The in-person early voting period began Monday and runs through July 18. The election is July 22. Those who didn't vote in the primary are still eligible to vote in the runoff and can select either a Republican or Democratic ballot. Those who voted in the primary, however, are required to cast a ballot with the same party. The Senate race is among a dozen being watched nationally as Republicans seek control of the Senate. Republicans Jack Kingston and David Perdue are on the ballot, and the winner will face Democrat Michelle Nunn in the fall.
More information on early voting locations is available at http://www.mvp.sos.ga.gov.
Ga. schools resist arming teachers despite new law
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia school leaders are turning down a new option of arming teachers, arguing that it doesn't make kids any safer. Officials in least two school districts have decided against arming staff. Education officials say no district is pursuing it so far. Attacks in California, Oregon and Washington haven't swayed officials who say guns don't belong in schools. The option is part of a law, effective July 1 that expands where Georgians can legally carry guns. Supporters say schools should consider the option to prevent violence. Georgia is among 14 states to propose a law in 2014 allowing teachers to carry guns. Nine more states passed similar laws after a mass school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Georgia education leaders say the law pulled them into a Second Amendment discussion they never wanted.
Laws on guns, Medicaid expansion set for July 1
ATLANTA (AP) - A host of bills went into effect on July 1. During the most recent legislative session, lawmakers proposed 615 pieces of legislation. Of those, 305 bills passed with Gov. Nathan Deal signing the vast majority of them into law. Some became law upon the governor's signature, while a large number take effect on July 1, the start of the state's fiscal year. Of those set to take effect on July 1 is the Georgia Safe Carry Protection Act, which has been criticized as the "guns everywhere'' bill. It expands where licensed carriers can take their weapons and includes varying rules affecting bars, churches, schools and government buildings. Other bills establish a new Zell Miller Grant for technical college students and limit the governor's ability to expand Medicaid.
Whistleblower alleges VA benefit application purge
ATLANTA (AP) - Federal investigators are probing a whistleblower's allegations that applications for veterans seeking health care benefits may have been improperly purged from the VA's Health Eligibility Center in suburban Atlanta. Eligibility Center program specialist Scott Davis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/1ofvEoR) that health benefit applications for more than 10,000 veterans may have been improperly purged from the Health Eligibility Center's national data system in DeKalb County. The center doesn't process all applications, but helps manage the national enrollment computer system and offers enrollment guidance for VA hospitals across the country.

Importance The World Health Organization recommends at least 3 annual mass drug administrations (MDAs) of azithromycin in places where the prevalence of follicular trachoma (FT) is greater than 10%. However, stopping MDA prior to 3 rounds, if monitoring indicates an absence of infection with Chlamydia trachomatis even if FT persists, may be more cost-effective.
Objective To determine the prevalence of infection in communities randomized to 3 rounds of annual MDAs with azithromycin compared with communities randomized to a stopping rule, where MDA could cease if the infection rate was low.
Design A 1:1 community randomized trial comparing usual care with a cessation rule. The Partnership for the Rapid Elimination of Trachoma–Ziada Trial was conducted from February 1, 2010, through September 1, 2011.
Setting Sixteen communities in Tanzania with trachoma prevalence rates between 10% and 20%.
Participants A total of 100 children aged 5 years or younger randomly drawn from each community. Children had to reside in an eligible community, have no ocular condition that prevented trachoma grading or ocular specimen collection, and have a guardian who could provide consent for participation.
Interventions Cessation of MDA with azithromycin if the community had no infection in their sample at 6 months or 18 months.
Main Outcome Measure The prevalence of C trachomatis at 18 months.
Results None of the intervention communities met criteria to stop MDA based on the 6-month or 18-month survey; all, as well as the usual care communities, were scheduled for a third MDA round. There was no difference in infection (2.9% vs 4.7%; P = .25) between the usual care and cessation rule communities at 18 months.
Conclusions and Relevance In this setting, communities with low (10%-20%) initial prevalence of active trachoma did not have MDA stopped before 3 annual rounds on the basis of monitoring for infection. Infection with C trachomatis in communities with average trachoma rates at 12% to 13% cannot be eliminated before 3 rounds of MDA with azithromycin.
Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00792922.
Figure 1. Consort diagram of the design and characteristics of the Partnership for the Rapid Elimination of Trachoma–Ziada Trial. The usual care arm received 3 rounds of MDAs, while the cessation rule group received MDA at baseline and thereafter only if infection prevalence was greater than 0% at the 6-month or 18-month follow-up visit.
Figure 2. Graphs indicating infection/disease rates in villages over time. A, Graph shows the prevalence of Chlamydiatrachomatis infection over time in the usual care and cessation rule arms. The dashed lines indicate the mean prevalence in each arm, and the thin lines indicate community-level prevalence. B, Graph shows the prevalence of follicular trachoma over time in the usual care and cessation rule arms. The dashed lines indicate the mean prevalence in each arm, and the thin lines indicate community-level prevalence.

This instalment in our tourism series is by Araceli Dominguez – owner of the eco-hotel and spa ¨El Rey del Caribe¨ in Cancun, Mexico. Araceli is an environmental activist, a businesswoman and a passionate keeper of ancestral traditions. Here, she describes her deep-seated commitment to responsible tourism and her experience working with the Rainforest Alliance's sustainable tourism programme…
Growing up in southeastern Mexico in close proximity to dense mangroves, lush forest and white sand beaches, I developed a natural connection with Mother Earth. Many years later, travelling through Central America with my husband Eduardo, I was lucky to experience new cultures, new places and new traditions while also getting a feel for the important role that tourism can play in protecting the environment.
In 1983, our love of nature and travel inspired us to build a small, pretty hotel in downtown Cancun called El Rey del Caribe. We wanted to give our guests the chance to feel at home in a foreign country and experience genuine Mexican hospitality while surrounded by our country's beauty. Simultaneously, we wanted to offer them the chance to be responsible tourists and minimise their impact on the environment.
From the beginning, an interest in sustainability and a concern for the environment was high on our agenda; however, it wasn't until we received support and technical assistance from the Rainforest Alliance in 2008 that our efforts were duly recognised and we were able to further invest in hotel sustainability initiatives.
Through a shared project of the Mexican Environment Ministry (Semarnat), the Rainforest Alliance and the British government, we received technical training and guidance on reducing our environmental impact, preserving biodiversity and improving conditions for workers and the local community. As a result of the educational workshops, we learned to adopt new tools that combined the three principles of sustainability: economic, environmental and social.
Although we had always worked to make our hotel environmentally friendly, implementing prescribed best management practices was something we took very seriously. Among the changes we made: transitioning to lower wattage light bulbs to save energy, registering our water meters to minimise water use, and reducing waste and contamination. During this transition period, we learned more about how sustainable tourism can save energy and help preserve areas of natural beauty, like the beaches, mangroves and wildlife that surround our hotel.
Our investment in sustainability paid off. With new solar panels we have reduced our energy bills by 30 percent and by collecting rainwater we have reduced potable water use by 40 percent. New bins on site have made it possible to segregate and recycle plastic, glass and bottles as well as compost all of the hotel's organic waste, reducing the volume of rubbish sent to a nearby landfill. We have also planted native shrubs and trees around the hotel, increasing birdlife and creating a greener environment. My initial love and respect for nature is now shared by our hotel's employees, who are now fully aware and conscious of their role in looking after the environment.
During our most recent evaluation by the Rainforest Alliance — based on standards of the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria — we received the highest score in Mexico in recognition of our efforts to implement sustainable practices at the hotel. This was a huge achievement for us and a reward for all of our efforts to create a genuinely sustainable business that contributes to the conservation of our local environment.
El Rey del Caribe has 31 luxury rooms, all of which open out onto a courtyard with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. The hotel also offers yoga classes and massages in its onsite spa.

If BMW and Audi were to both introduce a high priced luxury full-sized pickup truck with workman-like capabilities, it may seem a bit of an oddity. If they sold incredibly well, they may well be joined in the ranks with offerings from Lexus and Infiniti. That would put four players in a particular market segment. Strangely, while all four of these companies have extensive experience on the luxury end, their experience is far lighter on the working truck end of the equation. However, there is a luxury car manufacturer with very extensive experience in building commercial trucks, yet we don't see an offering from them in this scenario. In this instance, Mercedes would be very conspicuous by their absence.
There is a somewhat similar situation in the AiO liquid cooling market. At the onset of its popularity, it was dominated solely by some of the top names in computer components, but companies that had limited commercial products pertaining to CPU cooling prior. The fold was soon joined by companies that were obviously more cooling oriented, but we didn't see any great shakeups in the market or in performance. NZXT recently joined the fold with the larger 140mm based X40 and X60 models that saw a huge jump in performance capabilities to go along with the larger radiators. It seemed unusual that liquid cooling leader Swiftech and innovative Cooler Master (who has dabbled in liquid cooling in the past) stayed out of the AIO market. However, that is changing and the old pros are entering the field.
Cooler Master's Seidon 240M boasts an all in-house design and development set to show off all of Cooler Master's expertise. The Seidon 240M comes equipped with a 240mm radiator, copper contact block and a unique Cooler Master designed pump. The Seidon 240M uses Ultra-Fine Micro Channel technology in their contact plate, which actually increases the amount of water coming into contact with the copper. Simple reason tells you that increased water contact results in greater potential heat dissipation. The Seidon 240M uses kink-free hard plastic corrugated tubing for the liquid path, shown to have better aging and evaporation characteristics than rubber hoses. Two 60-2400rpm 120mm fans capable of over 86 CFM handle the air movement chores for the Seidon 240M, with the wide rpm range offering near silence or extreme performance. The fin design of the 240mm radiator has been tuned to maximize airflow. This results in more efficient cooling, and also considerably cuts down on associated noise.

Price Point
Price: $99.99 USD Retail
Class: Enthusiast
The Cooler Master Seidon 240M CPU Cooler is in the Enthusiast class of CPU coolers.
The Seidon 240M delivered excellent cooling performance under all conditions, the best we have seen from an AIO 240mm solution to date. The 240M also delivered the lowest noise levels of any of the 240mm units we have seen, delivering moderately quiet performance in day-to-day usage.
Reviewer's Opinion
I was always surprised that Cooler Master was not in the AIO Liquid Cooling market earlier, but by the same token, I was quite happy that they did not jump into the "me too" category of retreading the same OEM pieces that we have seen before. In Cooler Master fashion, they took their own route and came out with something decidedly different. While different is not always a good thing, in the case of the Seidon 240M, it is a very good thing.
One glance at the Seidon 240M lets you know that you are not looking at a cooler you have seen before. The pump and cooling block unit is an entirely different design than what we have seen previously. It is squatter, with more efficient side inlet/outlet placement and a very large copper contact plate. Cooler Master contends that the design is entirely their own, and I would not argue the point. It is sleek, well-engineered and obviously effective. An added bonus is the control software, or in this case, lack of. You can control the fans entirely with your BIOS/software, and set it up exactly how you like it in your system, and tweak all you like. It is a simple, effective, flexible solution.
Cooler Master makes quite a point of showing off the Ultrafine Microchannel design of the contact plate, and the theory certainly pays off in practice. The performance of the Seidon 240M was excellent all around, handling the high overclocks with ease, and easily bettering the more expensive 240mm units we have seen previously. Aside from the outstanding peak temperatures, the Seidon 240M also showed very quick cool down times with decreasing loads. There is no doubt that the Seidon 240M does an excellent job of dissipating heat on all ends, from the cooling block to the radiator.
Over time, the only complaint I have ever had with Cooler Master has been fan noise, so I was expecting the worst, given that 240mm AIOs tend to be the noisiest cooling solution imaginable. However, I was very nicely surprised when the Seidon 240M turned out to be the quietest 240mm solution I have heard to date. Make no mistake, when the fans are going full speed, the Seidon 240M is loud, but not the earsplitting volume we have seen from Corsair, the Tt Extreme and Antec 920 (not a 240mm, but the loudest of the bunch). After doing a little tuning of my fan control, in day to day activities, the Seidon 240M remained very tolerable, and around the middle of the pack from any type cooling solution. Even under heavy loads, the noise levels of the Seidon 240M were within expected limits. The great dissipation of the unit definitely helps in keeping the fan speeds and noise levels down, and makes the Seidon 240M a great 24/7 cooler.
The real kicker on the Cooler Master Seidon 240M is the price point; $99.95 MSRP. So, you get better cooling performance, less noise, easy installation and setup, and top notch build quality for less than what we have been seeing. There has to be a downside, right? Well, if there is, I can't find it. Cooler Master may have been late to releasing their AIO, but they are still the old pros in cooling and the Seidon 240M showcases their experience and innovation. With all of this going for it, can we possibly give the Cooler Master Seidon 240M anything but our highest award?
- Excellent Cooling at Idle and Full Load
- Very Reasonable Noise for a 240mm Rad/Dual 120mm Fan
- Excellent Cooling at Low Fan Speeds
- Price Point Lower Than Direct Competition
- Very Easy Installation In Cases With Proper Room
- Easy to Work With Kink-Free Tubing
- Maintenance Free
- Unique Pump Design
- Excellent Build Quality and Finish
- Micro Channel Block Design
- Pump Near Silent
- High Overclock Easily Achieved While Keeping Well Within Thermal Limits
- Loud At High Fan Speeds

Vince Vaughn delivers
"Delivery Man" is a Vince Vaughn comedy about an irresponsible oaf who discovers that his sperm-donations-for-money years resulted in 533 kids he never knew he had.
As he learns this news -- that "his" kids are reaching out to break the anonymity of his donations, just as his "You're too immature for me" girlfriend (Cobie Smulders) tells him she's pregnant -- we have the makings of a charming "Time to grow up and be responsible" comedy.
Which is exactly what "Delivery Man" manages to be.
To play David, the impulsive meat truck driver-son of a New York butcher, Vaughn tones down the manic patter that made him famous and reaches for the heartstrings.
David is the guy his dad (Andrzej Blumenfeld) and butcher siblings can never count on. He's always late, always letting people down, always trying to get rich quick through some harebrained scheme.
How many books on hydroponic gardening does he need to run a pot farm in his Brooklyn apartment? That sort of thing. He's in debt up to his eyeballs when the scary lawyer from the fertility clinic shows up.
"Yo no soy David Wozniak," David insists. To no avail. Mistakes were made, his seed spread further than he ever imagined, and now the offspring are suing to find their "father."
He needs a lawyer. Slovenly, overwhelmed father-of-four Brett (Chris Pratt of "The Five Year Engagement") is his pal, and his last hope.
And then David makes the fateful decision to look at the profiles of the kids suing him, to look them up and stumble, anonymously, into their lives.
"Delivery Man," based on the more charming French Canadian comedy "Starbuck," takes us on a roller-coaster ride through the lives of kids thriving (a pro basketball player) and struggling (a street musician, a bartender / actor). Writer-director Ken Scott, who also made the original film, deftly recycles the exultant highs and touching lows as David cheers on his Knicks-star son like a proud papa, and saves his distraught, overdosing daughter.
"They need me," David pleads to Brett. "They need a guardian angel."
The story plays up David's innate good-heartedness, and happy accidents allow him to make a difference in their lives, even in a drop-in dad sense. But he also gets a taste of the tough side of parenting.
Vaughn is at his most appealing here, even if that robs the film of many potential laughs.

GREENSBORO, N.C. Sarah Brobeck, a 2008 Salem High School graduate, was one of only three Atlantic Coast Conference student-athletes receiving the prestigious Thacker Award.
Brobeck, a chemistry major at Wake Forest University, was among 36 student-athletes selected for the Weaver-James-Corrigan Award, including three student-athletes who received Thacker Award.
The Weaver-James-Corrigan and Jim and Pat Thacker scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes three from each league institution who intend to pursue a graduate degree following completion of their undergraduate requirements. Each recipient receives $5,000 to contribute to their graduate education. Those honored have performed with distinction in both the classroom and his/her respective sports, while demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community.
The Weaver-James-Corrigan Award is named in honor of the late Jim Weaver and Bob James, as well as Gene Corrigan, all of whom are former ACC commissioners.
The Thacker Award, which originated in 2005, is awarded in honor of the late Jim and Pat Thacker of Charlotte, N.C. Jim Thacker was the primary play-by-play announcer for the ACC's first television network. Recipients of the award must demonstrate outstanding performance both in athletic competition and in the classroom and intend to further their education through postgraduate studies at an ACC institution.
The student-athletes were honored on April 11 in the Guilford Ballroom at the Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at the Four Seasons.
At Salem, Brobeck participated in volleyball and was a two-time third place finisher in the state track and field discus finals.
At Wake Forest, she stands 49th in the eastern United States in the javelin and also competes in the discus.
She was scheduled to compete in the ACC Championships Friday at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.
She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. David Brobeck of Salem.

Georgia Separation
Prior to going through a divorce, spouses go through legal separation. In order for the court to consider you and your spouse separated, you must be residing in separate dwellings. If you are staying back and forth from your home to your spouse's, your state may not consider you and your spouse as legally separated. You cannot live in the same house and have separate bedrooms to be considered legally separated.
There is also something the courts recognize as desertion. Desertion can occur when either you make your spouse leave your home or your spouse forces you out of the home (constructive desertion). When desertion is concerned, this means that one spouse has no plan of returning to the home.
If you're wondering what the first step is to separation, it really depends on your situation. The most important thing is to make a plan when you're both calm and rational. Perhaps it would be in your family's best interest to seek the advice of a trusted counselor before you make your separation plans.
Remember, the actions you take now may affect your legal rights should you get divorced. If you have children from your marriage, leaving your home in haste (unless you were protecting yourself) could influence the judge's decision should you later seek child custody. The same goes true if you rely on your spouse for financial income and you later are seeking spousal support.
Anytime you and your spouse can come up with a written agreement, this can be used in court. If you are easily able to work out the marital possessions of who gets what, it will make this portion of your pending divorce go much smoother.
Before you work out all of the details of your separation with your spouse, please contact family law firm Head, Thomas, Webb & Willis. We can help you sort out a plan during this very difficult time. Our expert legal team are the specialists at handling separation and divorce cases. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can get started on putting together a legal separation that has your best interests in mind.

FAU's Astronomical Observatory Celebrates the International Year of Astronomy with '100 Hours of Astronomy' Event
BOCA RATON, FL (March 31, 2009) – Florida Atlantic University's department of physics in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science will host "100 Hours of Astronomy, " as part of a worldwide astronomical event to promote appreciation and discovery of the universe. The FAU event will take place on Thursday, April 2 beginning at 8 a.m. through Monday April 6 at noon in FAU's Science and Engineering Building, fourth floor, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus.
FAU will provide an opportunity for members of FAU and the local community to look through a telescope at any time during the 100 hour event. Faculty and students will be present throughout the event to answer questions and address comments from those attending.
This year marks the 400 th anniversary of the first recorded astronomical observations with a telescope by Galileo and is referred to as the "birth of modern science." Because of this, the 62 nd General Assembly of the United Nations adopted an Italian resolution to declare 2009 as the "International Year of Astronomy." The UN, together with the International Astronomical Union, is promoting "100 Hours of Astronomy" as a worldwide event to encourage people to look through a telescope and personally experience the message of the slogan, "The Universe, Yours to Discover."
For more information, contact Eric Vandernoot at 561-297-STAR (7827) or visit www.100hoursofastronomy.org/component/eventlist/details/1070.
Florida Atlantic University opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University serves more than 26,000 undergraduate and graduate students on seven campuses strategically located along 150 miles of Florida's southeastern coastline. Building on its rich tradition as a teaching university, with a world-class faculty, FAU hosts ten colleges: College of Architecture, Urban & Public Affairs, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts & Letters, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science, the Barry Kaye College of Business, the College of Education, the College of Engineering & Computer Science, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Graduate College, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science.

When I was pregnant many people told me I "should" cut my hair to prevent pain from the baby pulling it and said that if I didn't do it in advance I surely would when I had the baby. That annoyed me so much I didn't even get my normal trim. Then I cut 18 or so inches last year and still had what most consider long hair (http://parenthood.phibian.com/?ID=284). It's like I had a near miss joining some kind of exclusive club and many people feel the need to ask me when I'm going to cut it again and whether I'll cut it shorter this time. Honestly!

I think people comment about long hair because it's so unusual. It's so easy to cut hair short, but it takes a looooong time to grow it long. And it doesn't look good on everyone.

I bet most people who comment are actually envious.

And filing your taxes today? Also envy. I have a whole lotta filing to do before we can start our taxes.

Options when you're inside an opponent's guard
Sometimes I roll with stronger guys who have extremely tight guards and passing seems either a) nearly impossible, or b) like a waste of energy.
So what I'm looking for are other things that I can do before I attempt the guard pass; things that can distract or grief my opponent so he/she might do something that I can exploit.
And just a final note: please don't give me anything too dirty like nut shots or eye-gouges, because I'm the smallest guy in my gym and I'm not trying to get my ass kicked. :thumb02:
WELL YOU COULD TRY WHAT TIM SYLVIA DID ONCE... Just poop on them.
Are you rolling with a gi on or no-gi?
This doesn't work all the time but it does give you an option to try when you get stuck or serve as a distraction. Good luck.
Anyone else got some good stuff for me?
Being a small guy, watch when you go for that can opener. If you get yourself to one side too much, you'll get your back taken.
I myself am the smallest in my class and have had someone try that to me. I locked arm (pressed my head to the floor initially) and waited for them to pull. I then grabbed and pulled their arm across me which set me up with for an arm bar or to take their back. I chose the latter.
I always tell people that the only thing you can effectively do from the guard is pass it. Anything else sets you up to be submitted.
Yeah, the can opener is a really good move! sometimes (if your opponent is'nt very good) you can even make the guy submit.
Otherwise, the weakest spot in the guard is when they're doing a transmission to a submission/choke. for instance:
1.when he's tucking your arm under his leg for a triangle, just continue to push his leg over your head (if he's holding your hand, use your elbow/arm)and dodge the leg until your out, and then go for side mount.
2. do "the telephone" when he's going for an armbar
Can opener is fine if you are not rolling with a guy with a really good guard who's well aware of the can opener. If you are rolling with a pretty good grappler you're likely going to end up in a lot of trouble trying a can opener.
Not to mention most lower belt rank classes in competition do not allow neck cranks. The can opener is a neck crank. You can use it to pass the guard, but there is a fine line in most competitions. I have seen guys tap because someone was using the can opener to pass and the guy using the can opener was DQ'd for using it and the other guy tapping.
Can opener is good to use sparingly and breifly. It can get you arm barred or arm triangled if you hold on too long. As soon as the legs loosen up go for a pass.
Also there is a good pass where you trap an arm down at his side. Then put your weight on his chest by standing in a tripod w/ butt high. When you do that you will either lift his hips up off of the mat or he will loosen his guard. If he isn't a tool and doesn't loosen his guard then you pass his arm that you trapped under his hips and grab it with the other hand. Then you extend your body way out flat on your tip toes and start walking in a circular motion towards his trapped arm. If done correctly he will have no choice but to open his guard as you pass to side control w/ his arm trapped under him. :thumb02:
IMO there's no shortcut out of a strong guard,just apply the basics.
Keep your posture upright dont look at him look past him keep your spine straight.
Be patient if your posture is right he will struggle to do anything to you with a closed guard and when he opens his guard be ready and work your pass.
Simple in principle but Patience and posture will give you a n opening you just have to be ready to take it.
As for the can opener i wouldnt use it rolling i think its just nasty and is just using pain in the place of technique.
