Letter Grades
The grades from a grading scale will be averaged on the basis of the point equivalencies to determine a student's grade point average (GPA). The highest grade will receive four (4) points, and the lowest grade will receive zero (0) points, using only the following valuative symbols:
Symbol Definition Grade Point
A Excellent 4
B Good 3
C Satisfactory 2
D Passing, less than satisfactory 1
F Failing 0
CR Credit (at least "C" level achievement -- units awarded not counted in GPA)
NC No Credit (less than satisfactory or failing -- units not counted in GPA)
Variable Units
At the time of registration a student should have signed up for the number of units (s)he hopes to earn. The number of units the student registers for will appear on Websmart. If the student earned less or more than what is showing on Websmart, the instructor should change to the appropriate units earned when entering final grades.
Credit/No Credit Options
Credit/No Credit Courses may be offered in one of the following modes:
1. Courses in which all students are graded on a Credit/No Credit basis.
2. Students must elect the CR/NC option within the first 30% of the class meetings. CR/NC option sheets are available to instructors on the web or in the division office.
Courses in which the option of a letter grade or credit/no credit exists will be so designated by the Division Dean in consultation with appropriate members of the division faculty. These courses are appropriately noted in the College Catalog. The utilization of courses graded on a "Credit/No Credit" basis to satisfy major or certificate requirements must be approved by the Division Dean.
A maximum of 12 units toward an Associate of Arts/Associate of Science degree or 6 units toward a certificate may be applied from courses in which the student has elected a "Credit/No Credit" option.
Students should be advised to check with a counselor or their intended transfer institution regarding transferability of "CR" units.
The symbol "I" is to be used in case of incomplete academic work for unforeseeable, emergencies, and justifiable reasons. It is the instructor's responsibility to inform the student that they are receiving an Incomplete grade, along with the terms and conditions for the removal of the Incomplete. In addition, an Incomplete form must be printed from the web, by the instructor, completed and filed with the admissions office. At the time an incomplete is given, a default grade must be indicated.
A final grade will be assigned by the instructor when the stipulated work has been completed and evaluated. In the event the work is not completed within the prescribed time period, the default grade previously determined by the instructor will be entered in the permanent record by the Registrar's office.
An "Incomplete" must be made up no later than one year following the end of the term in which it was assigned. Established college procedures may be utilized to request a time extension in cases involving unusual circumstances.
The "Incomplete" is not used in the computation of grade point average.
A student may withdraw from a semester-length class during the first four weeks of instruction and no record of the class will appear on the student's official academic transcript. In courses of less than a regular semester's duration, a student may withdraw prior to completion of 30% of the period of instruction and no notation will be made on the student's academic record. Thereafter, a student may withdraw from a semester-length class, whether passing or failing, at any time through the last day of the 14th week of instruction or within 75% of the course, whichever is sooner, and a "W" grade shall be recorded on the student's academic record. In courses of less than a regular semester's duration, a student may withdraw prior to the completion of 75% of the class and a "W" grade shall be recorded on the student's academic record.
The academic record of a student who remains in class beyond the time periods set forth above must reflect an authorized symbol other than "W". A student failing to follow established withdrawal procedures may be assigned an "F" grade by the instructor.
During a regular semester, enrollment verification lists will be distributed to faculty the 15th week of instruction for the purpose of withdrawing students. The lists should be corrected and returned immediately as final grade sheets are run the following week.
NOTE: An instructor may drop a student who has missed twice the number of hours as units for a course.
Grade Changes
An earned grade of A, B, C, D, F, W, CR, or NC may be changed within one year if there has been a "clerical error" on the part of the instructor. Grades cannot be changed on the basis of a student completing class work subsequent to the assignment of the final grade, unless the student received an "I" (Incomplete) in the course.
Midterm Reporting
Skyline College DOES NOT have a formal mid-term reporting practice; however, instructors are strongly encouraged to give notice to students who are doing unsatisfactory/failing work. This notice should be provided by the time the ninth week (mid-term) of the semester has been reached. Forms for notification can be obtained from your Division Office, the Evening Office, or the Counseling Office.
Final Exams
A Final Examination Schedule for both day and evening classes is published in the Schedule of Classes each semester. Exceptions to holding final examinations at the scheduled time must be approved in advance by the Division Dean and/or the Vice President of Instruction. All faculty are required to meet with their classes up to and including their last calendar date and the scheduled final exam. No evening or Saturday classes should meet after the final meeting date specified.

Purpose: The process of developing checklists to rate clinical performance is essential for ensuring their quality; thus, the authors applied an integrative approach for designing checklists that evaluate clinical performance.
Method: The approach consisted of five predefined steps (taken 2012–2013). Step 1: On the basis of the relevant literature and their clinical experience, the authors drafted a preliminary checklist. Step 2: The authors sent the draft checklist to five experts who reviewed it using an adapted Delphi technique. Step 3: The authors devised three scoring categories for items after pilot testing. Step 4: To ensure the changes made after pilot testing were valid, the checklist was submitted to an additional Delphi review round. Step 5: To weight items needed for accurate performance assessment, 10 pediatricians rated all checklist items in terms of their importance on a scale from 1 (not important) to 5 (essential).
Results: The authors have illustrated their approach using the example of a checklist for a simulation scenario of infant septic shock. The five-step approach resulted in a valid, reliable tool and proved to be an effective method to design evaluation checklists. It resulted in 33 items, most consisting of three scoring categories.
Conclusions: This approach integrates published evidence and the knowledge of domain experts. A robust development process is a necessary prerequisite of valid performance checklists. Establishing a widely recognized standard for developing evaluation checklists will likely support the design of appropriate measurement tools and move the field of performance assessment in health care forward.

I'm a native Californian who finally made it back from the East coast. I grew up on a steady diet of Twilight Zone and Outer Limits television episodes, and own an autographed first edition of John Stanley's Creature Features Movie Guide. I love old-fashioned monsters, think serial killer movies are boring, and am still terrified by that stupid rubber squid from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Question: I would like your advice. I have been married for 25-plus years to a great guy with one exception, his interest in porn. I knew during the three years we dated that he had a collection of porn magazines in his apartment. I did not like them, and we occasionally argued about them. Once, I threw them out, and he became very angry.
After we were married, I assumed there would be no more need for porn as he would have more access to me sexually as his wife. I would constantly find porn magazines hidden in our house, I would throw them out, we would argue, and it would happen again. Then we bought our first computer, and he found all kinds of free porn to download. I would find it on the computer, delete it, we would argue, I'd find more the next week, and so on. Now he has a smartphone with lots of downloaded porn. I haven't said much because I know I shouldn't be looking at his phone and he could easily password-protect it.

Why Salvador is the new Rio Carnival
If you've ever taken the time to write a bucket list – even if it's just in your head – it's pretty likely that Rio Carnival will be on there somewhere. There's something about the idea of being part of the world's biggest street party that gets people's imaginations fired up.
When my boyfriend and I were in Rio in 2010, we made a bold decision to spend carnival in Salvador in the north of Brazil, rather than in Rio. There was a great buzz about Rio, but after talking to some friendly locals (Brazilians love a good chat), they suggested that if we were after a younger, more energetic vibe, then Salvador was the place to be. So off we went.
Carnival arrived in Salvador with a crash. It was unbearably hot. Mobile caipriñha stalls lined the streets making potent cocktails for a bargain price. Clouds of barbecue smoke blocked our view, leaving us to trip over cool boxes of the beer sellers who sat along the roadside. It was an assault on all the senses. In a very good way.
As part of the Bahia region, Salvador has a noticeably African feel. The people are dark-skinned, their music is rhythmic and slightly menacing. It's a world apart from Rio. Bahia pop music is an infectious mix of powerful, fast vocals over samba beats with leather-clad ladies being teen icons. Over two million people flood into the streets and dance behind enormous electronic trucks clutching icy cans of Nova Schin beer. I've never seen so many people happily crammed together jumping about – known as being pipoca meaning 'popcorn'.
I'd met a lovely English couple in Rio who decided to stay there for carnival while I went north. When we met up a few weeks later, we compared carnival tales. They told me that when it came to finding somewhere to stay, Rio de Janeiro's best local apartments were booked up way in advance, so they bunked down in a hostel in Ipanema. When I asked them about the electro trucks and street dancing they looked at me like I was an idiot. In Rio you buy tickets for the grandstand outside of the city and sit for hours while colourful processions of dancers troupe past. They were a bit embarrassed to admit that they actually got a bit bored. No such thing in Salvador.
They were out drinking in Rio when they met a guy called Nico who owned one of the flats in the hot spots of Rio de Janeiro. Seeing as they were paying over the odds for a crappy hostel, maybe they wanted to stay with him for a week? He totally made carnival for them by showing them the secrets of the city.
Despite my envy at them having a private guide, I wouldn't have swapped carnival in Salvador for anything. There's much more to the Brazilian carnival than the guidebooks would have you believe.
Got something to say?... Say it!

For decades, manufacturers have added chemical flame retardants to electronics, furniture, children's pajamas and carseats, and foam baby products so they won't catch on fire easily when exposed to flame or high heat. But, many of these flame retardant chemicals have been linked to cancer, reproductive and thyroid problems, and cognitive impairments. We are advocating for toxic flame retardants to be replaced with safer, healthier alternatives.

Samuel D. Kassow, Charles H. Northam Professor of History at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, will discuss
the significance of the Oyneg Shabes–Ringelblum Archive and the recent publication of the catalog and guide to this important collection. Retrieved after World War II from metal boxes and milk cans buried beneath the ruins of
the Warsaw ghetto, the archive provides a documentary record of the wartime fate of Polish Jewry. One of the milk cans
is on view in the Museum's Permanent Exhibition.
The publication of the Warsaw Ghetto Oyneg Shabes–Ringelblum Archive Catalog and Guide was made possible by a gift from
Esther Cohen of Encino, California, in dedication to her grandchildren, and in the cause of remembrance.
Reservations are requested. RSVP online at www.ushmm.org/events/ringelblum.

Fast, compact and sharp
Granted most wide angle lens today are compact, but for the speed and size this one is hard to beat. They could have made this slightly faster but it has a shallow depth of field that is great for my purposes. The images are very rectilinear and nearly sharp corner to corner. The Bokeh is rich looking and the softness for digital is remarkable. The metal construction is nice in this day of plastics and the weight is not as heavy as would be expected. Great portability and the f-stop indent every third stop is very refined. Advice, get a filter to protect the lens; you may ditch the hood as it could get in your way but it does offer a firm hand and will keep your fingers out of view.

January 17, 2013 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – – Grand Rapids Community College is among 842 U.S. libraries and state humanities councils selected for the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf, a project of the National Endowment for the Humanities' Bridging Cultures initiative.
The college will receive a collection of books, films and other resources designed to broaden understanding of the complex history and culture of the Muslim people in the West Michigan community.
"Staff of the Library & Learning Commons is so pleased to bring this exciting collection to GRCC and to share it with our community," said Patricia Ingersoll, GRCC Library Director. "It's both an honor and an opportunity for us to lead an exploration of the content."
Director Ingersoll said GRCC's longtime focus on diversity was a major motivation for seeking the NEH award: "As a community college, GRCC is uniquely committed to enriching its community through educational and civic programming. These new resources will help us to support some new areas of our college curriculum."
Here are just some of the ways GRCC plans to tap and share this new resource:
- collaborations with GRCC's Woodrick Diversity Learning Center, especially its Diversity Lecture Series.
- scholar-facilitated discussions of Bookshelf titles.
- readings of poetry from the Bookshelf during GRCC's National Poetry Week events in April.
- film screenings followed by panel discussions.
- lectures on themes presented through the Bookshelf during the GRCC Race, Ethnicity and Identity Conference.
Grand Valley State University's Middle East Studies Program in the Frederik Meijer Honors College is partnering with GRCC in organizing programs in support of the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf. Professor Coeli Fitzpatrick, coordinator of the Middle East Studies Program, will lead the partnership efforts at GVSU.
"This is the first NEH grant awarded to GRCC, and we are very excited to be among those colleges who received an award," said Judith Larsen, Director of Grants and Resource Development.
The first in a planned series of Bridging Cultures "Bookshelves," the Muslim Journeys project is a leading effort in NEH Chairman Jim Leach's Bridging Cultures initiative, which emphasizes the importance of civility in American life and the role of libraries in fostering community conversations that bring the humanities to the public in new ways.
Grand Rapids Community College, established in 1914, offers opportunities for over 30,000 students annually in degree courses, certification and training programs, workshops and personal enrichment classes. GRCC holds classes on the downtown Grand Rapids campus as well as several additional locations throughout Kent and Ottawa counties. # # #

Indian Pickles
I was at an Indian Buffet last week and all in all it was a very standard buffet with the most common (i.e. familiar) choices. This one is different because it was the first I'd been to that had pickles on it. It wasn't a pickle like anything I'd had before. Even when eating it I wasn't not sure if I loved it or hated it. And unfortunately I couldn't identify anything in it beyond the chili peppers (and they might not have been chilies). It seemed like in addition to the peppers there was a little green ball with seeds in it, onions, something that may or may not have been an olive. It was sweet, sour, and spicy all at the same time and sort of yellow green.
I should have asked the waitress but they were pretty busy and I didn't get a chance. Anybody have any ideas about what this could be or what could be in it?

Melbourne: Pakistan allrounder Abdul Razzaq says Australia doesn't have any world-class bowlers and will struggle to beat India in next week's first Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Razzaq, who is in Australia playing for Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash Twenty20 competition, says India deserves to be favoured because star bowlers like Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath have retired and Brett Lee is no longer playing Test cricket.
He said an attack led by James Pattinson and Peter Siddle would have difficulty against the No 2-ranked Test side, saying "India are aiming to be the world champions, and they will give a tough time to Australia."

Our Oceanview Cabin was excellent for us. Our last cruise on POA in Hawaii was great,but we made the mistake of getting an inside cabin. I now realise my wife likes to know if it is day or night, when she wakes up.
The size of our cabin was good, size didn't really matter, as didn't spend much time in their, only to sleep. So much to enjoy up on deck.

They Give Away Half Their Money!
Through Good Times and Bad, Members of the 50% League Dig Deep into Their Pockets to Help Strangers in Need
Earned $16,000 Last Year
Gave Away $8,000
When the temperature soars or dives, Pilar Gonzales wakes up at 6 a.m. and hits the streets around Oakland, handing out coffee and sandwiches to day laborers. In winter she distributes hats and gloves, sometimes lined with $5 bills; in summer she brings water bottles. "One man was so tearful," Gonzales says. "He said, 'Señora, it's like an angel dropped out of heaven.' I said, 'No, señor, I'm just like you.'"
She means it. Though she has built a career as an adviser to nonprofits and philanthropists, Gonzales never feels far from her childhood days helping her father—a migrant farmworker—pick cherries in the fields of Michigan. Nor can she forget when she hit a patch of unemployment at 19 and went homeless for six months. "I stood in soup lines, panhandled, slept under trees," Gonzales, 53, recalls. "I know the loneliness of being poor."
She also knows tragedy: In 1994 her new husband, Gregorio, died of heatstroke while working a California construction gig in 105° weather. Shortly thereafter, Gonzales started donating 25 to 50 percent of her income, a practice she continued even when an arthritic hip held her earnings to just $16,000 last year. Recipients include hospitals, animal shelters, relatives and strangers. "She helps people at the margins of society," says Marc Brenman, executive director of the Washington State Human Rights Commission. The trade-off? A one-bedroom apartment, secondhand furniture, a wardrobe small enough to fit into two suitcases. Yet Gonzales doesn't feel pinched. Instead, she says, when she's helping day laborers, "I think, 'This is someone's life I might be saving.'"
Earns $200,000
Lives On $38,000
Tom Hsieh could be living the American dream. An immigrant from Taiwan, he worked hard in school, got into a good college and today heads an L.A.-based telecommunications consulting firm. His annual pay: $200,000. So where's the big house and fancy car? "We could have that lifestyle," Hsieh says. "But it's not real."
What's real, for Hsieh, is his deep faith and desire to help others. So Hsieh, 36, wife Bree, 31, and 13-month-old daughter Kadence live on a modest $38,000 a year. The rest of Tom's income goes to charity, including Servant Partners, a Christian group he and Bree belong to that sends young adults into urban areas to spread Christ's teachings and practice community activism. The family lives in a two-bedroom duplex in South Pomona, a community battered by crime and unemployment. There, Hsieh and his wife talk to young people about getting on a better path, and lead efforts to make the streets safer. Santos Ramos, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Pomona, says the Hsiehs have the community's respect. "Politicians come and go, but when educated people live next door, there's hope."
Still, it's not exactly an immigrant parent's dream. Some years ago, Hsieh told his parents, "I'll always make sure there's a roof over your head, but I won't be the successful Chinese son who buys you a BMW." His daughter won't need such explanations. "She's growing up," he says, "knowing there's more to life than possessions."
Inherited $550,000
Gave Away $425,000
Tucked in an armchair in her straw bale home in Charlotte, Vt., Edorah Frazer ticks off her money woes. "I buy used cars. I have student loans," says Frazer, an education lecturer at the University of Vermont. "My daughter wants to take gymnastics, but I can't afford it."
It's surprising talk for an heiress, but that's what Frazer became at 16 when her father died of a heart attack, leaving her $550,000 in stocks. But before coming into the money at 25, Frazer volunteered at Chicago soup kitchens and in Appalachian coal-mining towns and discovered she wanted to give her wealth away. "The money was never meant to be mine," she says. "I didn't earn it."
In December 1986, after getting her stock certificates, Frazer drove to a brokerage firm and signed $425,000 over to a fund supporting antiracism, youth and environmental efforts. Afterward, "I felt giddy, like I'd had an impact on the world," Frazer, 46, says. "I saw two men ringing the Salvation Army bell, and emptied my wallet into their bucket."
Her generosity helped groups like The People's Institute for Survival and Beyond, which received $16,000. The money, says director Ron Chisom, "helped low-income people come to our workshops on racism."
Now, Frazer—who married physical therapist Michael Rubin in 1992—is teaching daughter Molly, 4, to reach out to others. "Last week I gave her money to put in a Salvation Army bucket," says Frazer. "She liked it."

Klaus Conrad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klaus Conrad (June 19, 1905 in Reichenberg – 5 May 1961 in Göttingen) was a German neurologist and psychiatrist with important contributions to neuropsychology and psychopathology. He joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in 1940.[1] He was best known as a professor of psychiatry and neurology, and director of the University Psychiatric Hospital in Göttingen from 1958 until his death.
His main work: Die beginnende Schizophrenie. Versuch einer Gestaltanalyse des Wahns (1958), describes the early state of schizophrenia and the typical schizophrenic aspects. From this monograph, terms as "Trema", "Apophänie" (apophany), and "Überstieg" were coined.[citation needed]

Here, at EA's Guildford HQ, Humber is finally taking the lid off of all of the game's new features. Parts of his presentation runs through features we learned at the Stamford Bridge reveal event in February, but most of it throws up juicy new info relating to everything from little tweaks here and there to big gameplay changes and brand new modes. When you score a goal, for example, the camera zooms in quicker than it did in FIFA 10, revealing the emotion in the player's face up close and personal. The audio's been overhauled to give the game more of an international football sound than FIFA 10's Premier League-heavy audio, with new commentary (some of it completely unique to scenarios, as described above), the trademark South African "Vuvuzela" blowing horn, which sounds like a huge swarm of bees (thankfully you can turn it off), and even the ping of the ball hitting the post as the frame of the goal lifts ever so slightly out of the grass.
Supplementing the online-enabled World Cup mode is a brand new World League Ladder that sorts players into ten divisions. You play a season of ten league games - get 16 or more points and you'll be promoted, less than nine gets you relegated - then the top four in each division enter a cup competition. Your performance in the league and the cup is then calculated and end of season ranking points are dished out. This, Humber says, gives the game a long term appeal beyond this summer.
Over a hundred gameplay improvements have been made. We ran through the important ones during our previous preview, but there are a few others worth mentioning here. Now, playing home or away affects the stats of your players, and altitude affects player stamina; any match played above 1500 feet will take its toll. Shooting has been tweaked so that players don't strike the ball as well as they do in FIFA 10. This is a curious one, but Humber says real life players rarely hit the ball dead centre, instead hitting to the left or right of centre as they curl or hit across the ball while on the run. There's a new instant control and chip animation, which looks lovely. Players attack headers more aggressively, and find space for crosses more often. There are new chest and move animations designed to make the game play more fluidly - there's an illusion of a faster game speed despite it being exactly the same. There are chest passes, driven aerial passes (great for cross field long balls) and loads of new flicks and skills.
Penalty kicks have been completely reworked to make them more skill based. Now, as the kicker, you need to stop an oscillating needle in the correct zone, hold the shoot button down, release when the power bar is at the desired point, then move a targeting reticule with the thumb stick. The power determines the size of the reticule; maximum power makes it huge, minimum power makes the shot precise. All the factors come into play when the shot is finally taken, and, hopefully, goes in. From the keeper's point of view, there's a risk reward system at play: you can dive early, which will allow you to reach the extremities of the goal, or you can bide your time and perhaps get a better idea of where the shot will go. The idea is to try and simulate the real world pressure of taking a penalty that matters. We had a go, and it's much better than before. It's even tricky, although you get used to it. I'm not sure video games will ever come close to simulating the pressure of a real life penalty, but World Cup does perhaps the best job of it yet.
One of the more interesting gameplay changes is the introduction of the "Dad Pad" two-button control scheme. That's right, we said the "Dad Pad". It's EA's horribly-named effort that aims to make FIFA playable by everyone, not just you and me. One button passes, the other shoots. Movement is still governed by the left thumb stick, but everything else is context sensitive. So, players will sprint when the computer thinks they should. The computer will play a short pass, or a long pass, when it reckons each is appropriate. Shooting is handled for you, so you don't have to worry about it. Everything's still stat-based, so Shaun Wright-Phillips will lose out on headers when up against England and Chelsea legend John Terry, but you get the idea.
So, why's it called the "Dad Pad"? Because EA hopes the two-button control scheme will enable cross generations to play together. You, who knows how to play FIFA, and your dad, who is so intimidated by an Xbox 360 or PS3 controller that they send him running out of the house screaming, "The Horror!". All jokes aside, it's a lovely idea, and it's not game-breaking. If you're good at FIFA, you'll beat someone who isn't, no matter what control scheme they're using. But, rather than win 8-0, you may only win 4-0. Or something like that. As Humber insists, it allows participation, not mastery.
For schooled FIFA players, the "Dad Pad" will go unused. For them, more important questions remain: who are the best players, what are the best teams, and, isn't 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa nothing more than just FIFA 10 with an annoying mascot and FIFA.com-styled menus? We can't answer the first two questions… yet (although Emile Heskey is amazing), but we can suggest an answer to the last one. After Humber's presentation, we flicked through our notes and found 11 pages worth of new gubbins. That's a lot. A helluvalot. And we also notice a hastily scrawled sentence stuck somewhere in the margin: "Story of Qualifying may prove popular in Ireland". Quite.
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa is due out on all major platforms on April 30.

Nose Magic Scam
My Naso Fix Review - Read Before You Buy !
Through much reseach I have discovered that Nasofix is runned by the same Filipino people who sells Nose magic which is another scam on the internet. no wonder that me and my friend Jhonny was scammed out of our money. He decided to order Nose magic and I got Nasofix, we were both dissapointed and scammed by this fake fillipino company. when we ordered out Nasofix and nose magic, they wanted us to send money to some address in Asia, can you believe it. this thing is a huge scam. try ordering their product by western Union and see for yourself, they will send you an email with an Asian address of where to send the money and you will never hear from them again, you might not even get your product. Nasofix and Nose magic. I feel like I have basically been robbed by this FAKE filipino company, with no address and no phone number. The money has been withdrawn from my account and I am pissed that I wasn't even able to use the product and get the desired results promissed to me. to my surprise this scam with nose magic and Nasofix has been going on for quiet some time now, I have read and talked to many people online who claimed that this FAKE filipino company claiming to be Nose magic and Nasofix have been stealing customers credit card numbers and charging them monthly fees for a while now. The better business bureau cannot do anything about this because Nasofix and Nose right are in another country. This is why this FAKE company is a scam, everyone just be aware of the Nasofix scam and Nose magic scam.

Naso Fix Review
The Scam Explained
NasoFix is a device which copied the popular "Nose Right' and claims to work above all rhinoplasty alternatives. After a thorough review we noticed that the alleged doctor Dr. George Buchanan is NOT a doctor, but a paid actor from the Philipines. Your nose can be reshaped, but the only doctor approved rhinoplasty alternative is the Nose Right.
Below is a video on a REAL doctor explaining a Nose Job Alternative that works:
Above is a real United States doctor explaining how the Nose Right reshapes your nose to make it smaller without surgery. your cartilage is mostly made up of water and a flexible matrix which can, over time be reshaped. Read on below to see a string of reviews which were compiled from blogs and actual users who claimed to buy the nasofix. Back To Home

on November 20, 2012 - 6:48 AM
A group of University at Buffalo professors, students and members of the public Tuesday called on UB administrators to be more open about the Shale Resources and Society Institute.
"What we're asking for is that the University at Buffalo reveal all documents about the founding and funding" of the institute, said James Holstun, a UB English professor and chairman of the UB Coalition for Leading Ethically in Academic Research, or CLEAR.
The institute came under fire in May when it issued a report on hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking." The report, critics say, seemed to endorse the controversial technology for extracting oil and gas from the Marcellus Shale, raising suspicions among some about the institute's ties to the oil and gas industry.
"The institute says on its website that it's about independence, scientific integrity [and] nonbias," said Martha T. McCluskey, a UB law professor.
"However, it appears that [the institute] received as least some industry funding, indirectly or directly, and that it has industry ties, and it was fundraising from the industry without comparable representation and involvement by other interests. So we think disclosure of that is important."
Holstun and McCluskey were among about a dozen protesters waiting outside the Center for Tomorrow on UB's North Campus, seeking an opportunity to present signed petitions to administrators attending a meeting of the UB Faculty Senate. Shortly before the meeting, Ezra B. Zubrow, president of the Faculty Senate, came outside to invite them to attend the open session. Inside, newly appointed Provost Charles F. Zukoski addressed "significant misinformation expressed by various sources, which has led to many questions surrounding the establishment of the Shale Institute."
Zukoski said UB has more than 150 research institutes, all of which receive funding from various public and private sources. The Humanities Institute, for instance, receives support from Microsoft Corp.
"Regardless of the funding, it is not the role of the university, nor of the funding source, to dictate the conclusions drawn by faculty investigators. This is a core principle, and it is critical to the preservation of academic freedom," Zukoski said.
The institute is headed by two professors from UB's geology department, John P. Martin and Robert D. Jacobi, who Zukoski said were selected based on "a canvassing of UB faculty for potential candidates, discussion with the advisory board members of the department of geology, some of whom have oil and gas corporate experience, and conversations with faculty from other institutions of higher learning."
He added, "The Shale Institute has been funded completely through the College of Arts and Sciences using discretionary funds available to them. However, I wish to emphasize that while the Shale Institute has not received any industry funding to date, they are expected, and it is desirable for them to generate support for their research and scholarship through competitive grants, philanthropy and from industry. This, too, is consistent with UB's policies and practices."
Still, members of CLEAR continued to call on the administration to convene an independent board to investigate the institute's founding, funding and governance.

The refs forgot they weren't allowed to call penalties on the Leafs, and the Pens got a huge PP. They didn't score on it but gained momentum. Fifth Avenue Joe was determined to bring the Pens even closer and made it 4-3 with 5 minutes left.
Then Malkin tied it with 6.6 seconds left with a deflection off the "A" on his chest. After an insane overtime, Malkin scored in the shootout and no clue what Phil Kessel was doing. The shootout win capped off one of the best Pens comebacks in recent memory.
Unbelievable start to the second half of the season. Pulling these 2 points from the depths of Hell will come back to help the Pens.
Pens are in Toronto tonight. Should be interesting.
Recap if you click readmore.
Pens were rusty as shit in the first few. Toronto was balls to the wall. No idea when Phil Kessel got so fast. Pretty much every Leaf player has speed.
Crosby's bizarre press conference was still in the air, but the Leafs scored, and that snapped things back into perspective. But wait. The goal got called off because the refs said Lupul interfered with MAF:
Yeah, that is an awful call. Listen to how jammed up the TSN guys get.
The Leafs dominated the play for the entirety of the first period. Paul Martin got destroyed by Kadri, and Matt Cooke tried to hit that dude who jobbed Neal.
Cooke and Phaneuf had their own personal Royal Rumble behind Fleury late in the period. But that was it.
MISC: Pens had to kill two penalties. Toronto came into the game with a two-game streak of not being called for a penalty.
The second period was a nightmare. Paul Martin had a really, really tough night. He had a bunch of turnovers, and then he forgot how to play defense:
( vid via Mike W.)
Grabovski had all day. 1-0.
Really tough to watch. Martin's battle level was extremely low after that puck got around the net. Malkin was deep, Michalek had to guard two guys in front. Yikes. We're not picking on Paul Martin. The Paul Martin Defense Alliance is quick to ignore the mistakes or say they are blown out of proportion. He's going to make some unreal play in a big game; we know it. But Jesus.
It got worse for the Pens. Matt Cooke tried some chip to Malkin, and it didn't work. Toronto broke it up and went the other way. Grabovski scored an absolute sick goal. Straight snipe. 2-0.
The Leafs were just flying. We can't remember the Penguins giving up so many odd-man breaks in one game all season. Grabovski and Kulemin had a 2-on-none, but the puck didn't settle for Kulemin.
[ Pic via Stephen P.]
MAF did everything he could to keep it at 2-0.
After getting stormed out of the building, the Pens finally got a break. The Internet stood still as it looked like Paul Martin scored a goal, effectively putting $60 into the hands of some lucky soul, but Matt Cooke deflected it in.
Just like that, the Pens were back in it. Didn't seem right, but whatever.
Pens were slowly waking up. But then Matt Cooke took a really bad penalty. Toronto wasted little time. 3-1.
19 seconds later, Paul Martin had a meltdown:
( vid via Mike W.)
It's Tuesday night. Bed was a viable option.
But then a funny thing happened on the way to looking up some porn. About two minutes after the MacArthur goal, Steve Sullivan forces some dude to collapse. He walks in and blasts a shot past Gustavsson.
A really special performance by Steve Sullivan in this one.
Pens had a little bit of life. MAF earned his money tonight again, keeping the score at 4-2. A big moment came when MAF had to come out and beat some Leaf to a puck and ended up tripping him. The puck jumped out to Doug Gilmour, but Letang was manning the net in MAF's absence and kept it out. Later in that sequence, the Pens drew a penalty.
That powerplay had tons of chances but couldn't score. The momentum was building, though. And then Fifth Ave Joe Vitale showed up. He worked his ass off, found a loose puck. 4-3.
Time was the biggest enemy now. 5:00 left.
Under a minute to play, the Pens pulled MAF. The Pens haven't tied a game late since the Guerin goal we feel. Was MAF pulled when they tied the Kings game this season? who cares
Gustavsson messes up with the puck, and somehow it stayed in the Leafs' zone. Letang made some unrealistic play and flipped it to Sulllivan. Sullivan to Neal.
Neal just smokes it to the net:
The puck deflects off of Malkin high and right into the net. No clue what The Monster was all jammed up about after the goal.
6.6 seconds left.
An improbable point had been more than earned.
–Letang vs. the Monster. Monster wins.
–Flower vs. Grabovski. Flower.
–Malkin vs Monster:
–Kadri vs. MAF. All MAF.
–Kunitz vs. The Monster for the game. No dice.
–Phil Kessel vs. MAF for the game.
Yeah, get real.
- Pens wore white because Toronto asked them too apparently. According to Phil Borque, the Pens will wear white at home against columbus
- Brent Johnson gets the start tonight?
- Colin Mcdonald > Eric Tangradi. Sorry
- Engo looked like he got killed towards the end of the game. He collided with Mike Brown. Would not be surprised if he isn't in the lineup tonight.

No Mud, No Lotus (when the Internet makes me feel stabbity)
Sometimes, social media makes me feel pretty stabbity. The last few days have been intense, with stupidity ranging from Caitlyn Jenner is not a woman to we shouldn't let refugees into our countries because TERRORISM.
I just. cannot. even.
I unfollow people who post shit like that, but that thought that we might still be connected in any way makes me itchy. I know that everyone has a right to their opinion but there are some things that I just can't abide. I won't bother hijacking someone's post to tell them how ignorant they are, because the Internet is not a place where one attempts, through shaming, to change minds and hearts. What I can do, though, is focus my attention where it will be most useful. Loving. Listening. Uplifting where I am able.
My glorious tribe is full of compassion, kindness, empathy, and love. My glorious tribe, a tribe that I've been building since 2000 when I started penning my on line diary, is glorious. My glorious tribe doesn't post shit that makes me stabbity. They inspire, uplift, offer succor, care passionately. They are a tribe of leaders-by-example. They don't crap on people for disagreeing with them. They don't practice boundary violation in their attempts to make sense of a senseless world. They hold their own.
They make me proud to be one of them.
Today, I don't want to focus on the stabbity stuff. I want to focus on how lovely my tribe is, and equally on how important it is *for me* to remember that these moments that feel somehow gross and unpure, these times in which we come face to face with our shadowy recesses, when we are triggered, when our self-righteousness rises up within us and threatens to choke off all kindness, are necessary.
They grow us. They refine us. They allow us to tend to unknown parts of self - parts that lay in wait to be discovered, and loved into the light.
Sometimes I think I am too much like the Princess & The Pea. You know the story. No matter how buffered she is against that pea, she can feel it. Pile on the mattresses, and it won't matter. That pea will still leave her bruised, and sore, and sleepless, and miserable. I have to remind myself over, and over again that I have the privilege of filtering out the things that make me stabbity - I'm so fucking lucky in that I can walk away from ignorance, hatred, rudeness. I have to remember that there are many people for whom the hatred, and ignorance, are a part of their every day existence, and that sometimes that hatred, and ignorance leads to their very death.
They can't just turn it off and walk away. They are in it, eyeball deep, and there is no escape.
So, averting my eyes *entirely* is not an option. It isn't just. I must contend with the things that hurt and bruise and wound and rend. I *must*.
But not all at once, and not all the time. Today, I'm taking a break from world to do some self-care - art, journaling, therapy at 5, a talk on the Camino with a new friend (Hi, Rosemary!). Today, I will rest my eyes on what is good. I will believe in a softer world, and lend my energy to its emergence from the mud of what is happening out there all around me right now.
No Mud, No Lotus

Digital resource for Welsh schools shaped by Cardiff historian
12 April 2013
A Cardiff historian has helped to shape a new Story of Wales-inspired educational resource for young people in Wales and beyond just launched online.
Fronted by the BBC's Huw Edwards and inspired by the successful Story of Wales programme, mini-documentaries on Welsh history and accompanying interpretative texts have been placed on HWB, the Welsh Assembly Government's Virtual Learning Environment. Hosted on iTunesU, these resources have been crafted for Welsh school pupils aged 7 to 16, and feature topics from the Celtic Iron Age to contemporary Devolution in Wales.
SHARE's Senior Lecturer in Early Modern and Welsh History, Dr Lloyd Bowen, was historical adviser to the project which produced 44 short documentaries (22 in Welsh and 22 in English). He explains:
'Building on the positive response to the BBC's Story of Wales programme, this resource is intended to convey some of the colour, vibrancy and excitement of Wales's turbulent past. Combining arresting visuals with succinct but informative textual interpretations, it is hoped that this initiative will provide teachers and schoolchildren with a resource that can help enhance their experience and understanding of Welsh history".
The series and mini-documentaries were made by Cardiff-based Green Bay Media. Find out more about Story of Wales here: http://goo.gl/S66BR

It's one game. Granted, Kindl had a bad game tonight, but not any worse than Smith to be honest.
As for the rest...
Smith averages 18:40 ice time per game, Kindl 17:54, which is the difference of one shift. Both play on the 2nd PP where Kindl has noticeably outplayed Smith. Neither saw significant PK time until Quincey got hurt, as Quincey, Kronwall, and Ericsson are the primary penalty killing defensemen, so it's not like Smith has been carrying the load there. Even then Smith only has 1 minute of PK time during Quincey's absence.
So with the exception of one minute of PK time, they play pretty much exactly the same amount of minutes and Kindl leads Smith in every single statistical category.
I understand not really liking particular players, but it's hard to conclude that Smith should play while Kindl sits.
However, they're both better than White or Cola, which I think we can both agree on.
Cola out played them both tonight. He was sound and seemed to move the puck out of his own end with some nice passes...something that lacks at times with this team. Smith and Kindl are young and are going to make mistakes like we have been seeing lately. I wish the Wings could have got Regehr. He could have been a good partner for a young d-man.

The products are included in the 2013 Green Stars Awards, an annual ranking of the best in green beauty as chosen by skin, hair, and makeup pros, including our MUA friends Kristen Arnett and Katey Denno. The Translucent Makeup is recommended for creating a "smooth, even complexion," while the Pure Care Cover Stick is suggested for its ability to "camouflage redness while treating blemishes without over-drying."
The Bronzing Powder is featured in the July 2013 issue of InStyle magazine (circulation: 1,700,000; page 125). The product is included on the "Look of the Moment" page, which highlights a makeup look on actress Olivia Munn, as created by MUA Katey Denno. We are especially pleased with this placement as the Bronzing Powder is the sole product and is quite prominently featured.
The Decorative Cosmetics Lip Products were featured on "Everyday" (viewership: 50,000), a daily regional program on the FOX affiliate in Denver, CO. The show covers trends, celebrity gossip, the latest news, and other lifestyle topics.
Chelsea Vurciaga, one of our favorite regional lifestyle broadcast experts, included the products in a natural mineral makeup segment. We were pleased that she mentioned the nutrients that are packed into Dr. Hauschka lip cosmetics, and that she specifically called out the sea buckthorn in the Lip Glosses. Here is a direct link to the segment, which was posted on the TV station's website.

Mizuna Moving In
Cooler days call for cooler veggies, and you can bet that you'll be seeing a huge variety of Winter greens soon as we enter the winter months at the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market. Maybe you've never met before, but Mizuna is one of our most welcomed Winte guests. A Japanese green with graceful feathery leaves and a similar peppery flavor to argula, Mizuna is best when eaten raw in salads, or cooked down and simmered with lots of other fresh fall veggies. Tatsoi is another amazing Asian green that has small, heart-shaped, green leaves. It is beautiful in all salads, and tastes strong and spicy, similiar to mustard greens. Both are worth seeking out, and you can find bunches for sale at JR Organics and Suzie's Farm.
Kick it up a notch this week with a quick dinner packed with nutrients and fall flavor. Using 1-2 cups each of chopped tatsoi and mizuna leaves, fresh sliced cucumbers or thin sliced green zucchini and green onions from Maciel Family Farm, create a green-sesame stir fry, topped with baked teriyaki flavoured squash from Produce Stand or roasted eggplant from Kawano Farms with a sweet tahini- dressing.
SD Weekly Markets brings farmers' markets to the city in San Diego, and people to the table. Each of our San Diego farmers' markets is geared to the needs and interests of the communities it serves, and each is managed professionally to provide the highest quality farm-fresh produce, meats, fish, eggs, and artisan foods to San Diego farmers' market shoppers.

Hello again!!! SOOOO good to see one of my New Zealand friends here! I am still talking about all of you to anyone who will listen! Your project turned out absolutely beautiful. I have my nose pressed up against the screen trying to see everything you did. The backgrounds are perfect and the roses elegant. Job very well done! Thank you for posting this...say hi to everyone for me. Hugs, Cindy :)
Photos are so hard. I want to see it in person. The overall effect is gorgeous but I would love to be able to touch all the wonderful texture in person. It only needs beads if they would please you. Congrats, it is so lovely
Thanks Deb and Cindy. I have painstakingly unpicked the initials and re-worked a better font. I have also placed a single pink pearl bead in the center of each rose - it's enough to give 'pop' and a little contrast to the white and green. Just loving working on the quilting on such a small size!
The roses are my favorite. Beautiful work.

Volunteers Needed to Assist with Fort Frederica's Archaeology Education Program
Contact: Ted Johnson, 912-638-3639
Fort Frederica is recruiting dedicated volunteers to assist with the Archaeology Education Program during the fall and spring semesters of the school year. A volunteer training will be offered on July 27 and 28 from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
The Archaeology Education Program, conducted in partnership with Glynn County School System, utilizes archaeology to teach core curriculum standards. Every fourth grade student from the ten Glynn County elementary schools and four private schools participate in this innovative program.
According to Superintendent Mary Beth Wester, "This program helps students connect to the past in a real way through hands-on experiences. Students actively discover what the settlers of Frederica left behind."
Volunteers will bring Frederica's history to life in a variety of ways. Volunteer opportunities fall into three positions:
School programs begin at 9:00 am and end at 1:00 pm on varying days of the week. Volunteers must be able to work outside in occasional adverse weather conditions. Physical demands include stooping, kneeling and standing for several hours at a time.
Those interested in this rewarding opportunity should contact Volunteer Coordinator Ted Johnson at 912-638-3639.

High Court Rejects Appeal by Convicted Pharma Exec Harkonen
A Sidley Austin team led by Carter Phillips and Mark Haddad struck out on Monday in a bid to have the U.S. Supreme Court review the wire fraud conviction of former InterMune Inc. CEO Scott Harkonen.
A federal jury in San Francisco found Harkonen guilty of one count of wire fraud in September 2009, concluding that he promoted the drug Actimmune to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in a 2002 press release. InterMune had received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to promote Actimmune to treat other conditions, but not IPF, a fatal lung disease. Intermune agreed in 2006 to pay the government $37 million to settle claims that it promoted the drug for off-label uses. (Both InterMune and Harkonen have had better luck fighting off class action lawsuits in follow-on private civil litigation.)
Harkonen's lawyers at Sidley argued in their petition for certiorari that the 2009 fraud conviction had effectively criminalized scientific debate. In the 2002 press release at the heart of the case, Harkonen pointed to study results demonstrating that Actimmune increased the survival rate for some patients with IPF. The Sidley lawyers wrote that their client's statement amounted to protected scientific speech.
By rebuffing the petition on Monday, the Supreme Court leaves in place a March decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upholding Harkonen's conviction. The Ninth Circuit panel found that there was plenty of evidence at trial showing the press release was meant to mislead--even if Harkonen's statement wasn't literally false. The appeals court upheld Harkonen's sentence of three years probation, six months home detention, and a $20,000 fine.
Although the sentence itself falls well short of the 10-year prison term and a $1 million fine the government was asking for, regulators continue to seek to ban Harkonen from involvement with federal health care programs for five years, and to ban him for life from "providing services in any capacity to a person that has an approved or pending drug product application."
In the run-up to trial, Harkonen was represented by carousel of defense lawyers. He turned to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr and Morrison & Foerster before bringing on Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman to handle the trial. Sidley's Haddad argued Harkonen's appeal at the Ninth Circuit and joined Sidley chair and Supreme Court stalwart Phillips in briefing the cert petition.
Haddad declined to comment.
