The University of Hawaii football team will make a major change in its bid to end a seven-game losing streak.
Jeremy Higgins will be the Warriors' starting quarterback for today's road game against Air Force, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Thursday.
Higgins replaced Sean Schroeder in the third quarter of Saturday's loss to Boise State, and went 11-for-17 passing for 154 yards with an interception and no touchdowns.

Hawaii (1-8, 0-6 Mountain West Conference) is averaging 295.2 yards of offense per game, ahead of just three teams in the Bowl Subdivision. Air Force (5-5, 4-2) is gaining 457.6 yards per game.
The Warriors and Falcons are former Western Athletic Conference rivals, but have not met since a 52-30 victory for UH at Aloha Stadium in 2001. Hawaii coach Norm Chow, however, faced Air Force for decades while an assistant coach at Brigham Young.
"I coached against those guys for 20 years," Chow said Monday in a news conference posted on the UH athletics website. "I played against them actually, as well. They're tough guys. Obviously they are tough guys because they've got to represent our country when they graduate. So, we have to prepare offensively to stay on the field. We can't be getting those three and outs and expect our defense to hold up all afternoon long."

Top tips
Discover food maven Ellie Krieger's Twitter account, @Ellie_Krieger, and stumbled over some of her kitchen tips. Here are a few:
- Keep leafy greens crisp by storing them in a zip-top plastic bag with a damp paper towel.
- Fresh herbs, such as mint, parsley or basil leaves, will liven up sandwiches made with tuna, turkey, hummus or ham.
- Cut the white flour in recipes in half and add whole-grain pastry flour. It adds nutrients without harming the texture.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Davenport track & field teams are back in action Friday as they travel to Angola, Ind., for Trine University's Invitational, held inside the Keith E. Busse/Steel Dynamics Athletic Recreation Center. The field house opens at 3 p.m. and the meet is slated begin an hour later.
While most of the Panthers have competed at the Trine Invitational last season, head coach Scott Cook said he is using this meet to get his new Panthers a feel for facility because come February the teams will be returning to Trine's campus to compete for the Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference Indoor Championships.
"That's one of the main reasons we go this week, for kids who haven't been there yet and to just get comfortable with where they are going to be running at the conference meet," Cook said.
A majority of the Panthers got their track & field season underway last Friday at Grand Valley State's Bob Eubanks Open, although some Panthers were scratched from their respective events due to injuries and might be missing a few meets.
Cook thought it was best for them to use the time now to get healthy and prepare for the WHAC Championships or get ready the outdoor season.
"I'd rather miss a meet now versus missing two or three later on," Cook said. "Some are heading in the right direction though. We got a few that I figured they probably won't be racing indoor at all and just get healthy for the outdoor season."
Alex Blehm has already earned a berth to the national meet after posting a qualifying mark in the 600-meter run last Friday. Although Blehm has qualified in the 600, Cook is expecting him to earn a spot in the 400-meter race.
"The 400 is kind of his main event. He was an
All-American in both indoor and outdoor last year. We look for him to move up
and shoot for one of those top three spots in the country," Cook said.

As L.A. looks to lure the 2024 Summer Olympics, it's worth taking note of how plans for the 2020 Summer Games are coming along in Japan. In a nutshell? Not so smoothly.
Sure, the Tokyo Games are still more than four years away, but Japan seems to be struggling to get things on track. Over the summer, organizers scrapped plans for a $2-billion main Olympic stadium design by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. Then in September, the emblem chosen by the organizing committee were withdrawn by its Japanese designer amid accusations of copyright infringement.
Why the hiccups? Here's a look at some of the problems.

A Race Car is Born
No matter how much you plan, fabricate, tune, and otherwise bust your knuckles preparing a LeMons-worthy heap, the thing still looks like a pile of 'potential'. Then comes the magical day the the whole thing suddenly becomes a race car. That day happens after the roll cage is installed, after the racing seat and belts are fitted into place, and certainly after the thing has been stripped of all comforts known to a street-legal passenger car. The day this make-over occurs, is the day the racing colors, numbers, sponsor decals, safety equipment stickers, and other such badging occurs. From this day forward, this is a vehicle with a purpose, not a pile with potential. It may be a crappy race car. It may be a slow or poor-handling race car, but it is now and until it meets its demise with the fateful crusher one day in the future a race car. Today was that day for our project. After several weeks of spending our Thursday evenings flirting with tetanus and flash burns, we've entered the final stretch of our preparations. With the LeMons South Spring event just less than a month away, the team is getting pretty stoked. The folks at the Boys & Girls Club in Big Daddy's home town were thrilled at being involved with the team. During a recent visit the collected donations were presented to the local club's director John Hartnett. The donations were accepted with sincere appreciation and will be put to great use. Our efforts continue to solicit more pledges for this great cause.

Sometimes it's the simplest things...
I'll admit that our diagnostic skills were challenged in figuring out the problem with what had now been dubbed "Dana" the Daytona. The squealing which dad been disquised as a loose alternator belt was actually the result of the water pump pulley being installed backwards. The cause of the other problems proved more elusive without any diagnostic tools beyond the fault codes being reported by the computer. Tracing and retracing vacuum lines that were highly suspect yeilded no results other than an education on mid-80's Dodge vacuum strategy. Fortunately, we had made contact with a local guy named Brian who was a former Chrysler mechanic and a Daytona buff. He was willing to bring his diagnostic computer over and give it a look for us. After witnessing a plthera of problems on the computer we started developing a list of things (sensors) to replace. It seemed like every sensor was bad. Brian was showing us where to find the MAP sensor when he made the discovery. It seems that the former owner replaced the logic computer for one reason for another. It just so happens that on the Daytona the MAP sensor is piggy-backed on the logic computer and is connected to the engine by a vacuum line. Well, the previous owner carelessly pinched off the vacuum line when bolting the new computer to the chassis. Without this connection to the engine, the logic computer couldn't function properly. Removing the crimped section and reattaching the vacuum line cured all of our problems. The engine ran strong after that. The turbo worked properly giving us strong boost and horsepower that the old Datsun couldn't deliver last year.

Step 1: Acquire a Car
After the 1st Lemons South event, the team immediately began dreaming of 'next year'. Jay's promise of TWO events in Kershaw in 2009 were locked in our memories. So what some of us can't remember our own niece's name or we keep buying the same present for our daughter on every occasion because we forgot about buying it on the last birthday/Christmas, we remember the important things! And two LeMons events in 2009 was important. We watched Craigslist for months looking for that perfect vehicle. When it failed to appear we picked up a Dodge Daytona real cheap. It had a floor and frame rails you couldn't poke your finger through so we were already well ahead of the starting point we had with the Datsun 280ZX. We learned many things during our first LeMons foray. One of these lessons is get the mechanicals right before you strip it down and slap a wing on it. Your opportunities to test drive and work the bugs out are much more plentiful when the thing is street legal. Now, the car was cheap, but it was not clean! The interior of this car had been used as a combination ashtray / trashcan for about three years. Even the air inside this car was toxic! The change we salvaged from the seats and console had to be soaked in disinfectant (after it was chiseled up out of its soda-syrup epoxy-like resin). There were cigarette butts EVERYWHERE. Even in places that had not seen the light of day since the assembly line. Don't ask me how! The main reason the car was cheap, though was because it did not run well, at all. The belts squealed constantly and any acceleration caused the engine to stall intantly. The fuel mixture was so rich the exhaust was flammable. We felt that we could correct the causes of these things that the previous owner had given up on and purchased the heap for the pawltry sum of $250.

Because once just isn't enough...
Coyote Motorsports (formerly known as Hard Luck Racing) is proud to announce their 24 Hours of LeMons campaign for 2009. Survivors of the inaugural LeMons South event in July 2008, the team of obvious slow learners will tempt fate and risk life, limb, and moderate sums of cash in search of LeMons glory! The team is preparing an entirely new car for the 2009 and intend on participating in both Kershaw events (April and September). A jaunt to "LAISSEZ LES CRAPHEAPS ROULEZ NEW ORLEANS" in Belle Rose, LA in early June is also possible. Aside from the fame and fortune to be obtained through track prowess, Coyote Motorsports will be using the events to promote and raise money for The Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The team will be soliciting donations to the worthy organization based upon the number of laps completed in each event. Pledgers will be lauded in the annals of our blog and surely be envied by their peers. Stay tuned for more.....

What is in this article?:
- Beef Demand Is The Key To Cattle Prices In 2012
- Short-Run Factors
While supply is clearly the main driver pushing cattle and beef prices upward, it is consumer beef demand that will determine just how far prices will go.
Short-Run Factors
Other short-run factors may also affect willingness to purchase beef products. Consumer decisions are driven by value, which is a combination of preferences and price of a product relative to other products that may be substitutes. In the case of beef, these are other meat products, mostly pork and poultry. Therefore, beef demand at any point in time will be determined in part by the prices of pork and poultry relative to beef. In 2011, pork prices, like beef, moved to new record levels thus maintaining a relative balance between beef and pork prices.
Through the first 11 months of 2011, retail beef and pork prices both increased about 10% year over year. During the same period, retail broiler prices increased only about 2%. This is another sign of strong beef preferences relative to chicken. Anticipated decreases in broiler production in 2012 should support broiler prices and provide additional support for higher beef prices.
Since 2008, the "ability" part of beef demand has played a bigger role in beef demand than for many years prior. The 2008-09 recession caused significant adjustments in consumer spending and may have permanently changed spending patterns. Macroeconomic measures provide a general backdrop for consumer spending ability.
Post-recessionary GDP growth in 2010 was followed by weaker-than-expected growth in 2011 in the U.S. economy and other countries as well. The tsunami in Japan and the continuing fragile economic situation in the Euro area limited global growth. General expectations for 2012 are for continued anemic macroeconomic performance in the U.S. and most major developed and developing countries.
In the U.S., unemployment remains stubbornly high with little decrease through most of 2011. Inflation-adjusted personal disposable income decreased slightly from 2010 levels in the second and third quarters of 2011. Data for the fourth quarter aren't yet available. However, personal savings rates, which jumped sharply during and immediately after the recession, fell back to a more modest level in late 2011 and likely supported additional consumer spending.
Anecdotal indications of strong holiday spending suggest consumers have adjusted to the post-recession environment. Recent stories of large winter crowds at vacation venues such as Disney World are indications that consumers are moving past recession-induced retrenchment to more typical consumption, albeit with continued belt-tightening. For instance, beef middle meat prices improved noticeably in the last quarter of 2011 and the Restaurant Performance Index, which has improved erratically during the recovery, moved towards a strong finish for the year with the latest November data.
Cattle and beef prices will be higher in 2012 but just how much higher depends on consumer demand. Continued fragility of the U.S. and global economies make demand the biggest question mark for the beef industry in the New Year. Though consumer preferences for beef remain strong, they may have changed. Consumer reaction to higher prices may result in additional changes in demand for middle meats relative to end meats and for away-from-home vs. at-home beef consumption.
In the absence of major U.S. or global macroeconomic weakness, beef demand is sufficiently strong to support higher beef and cattle prices in 2012, but exactly how that demand will be manifest across different cuts and qualities of beef remains to be seen.

A Swedish charity accused US troops on Monday of going on the rampage in a central Afghanistan hospital last week.
During their operations, patients were forced from their beds, staff tied up and doors smashed down in a search for resistance fighters.
Relatives visiting patients were also maltreated.
The Swedish Committee for Afghanistan (SCA) charged that the US Army's 10th Mountain Division violated the neutrality of medical facilities when it entered the charity's hospital in Wardak province without permission.
SCA director Anders Fange said that the US troops arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night last Wednesday.
As they left two hours later, the troops ordered hospital staff to inform occupation forces if any wounded militants were admitted.
The military would decide if they could be treated, Mr Fange alleged.
Describing the US actions as "unacceptable," he said that staff had refused to comply because carrying out the order would have "put our staff at risk and made the hospital a target."
The SCA claimed the troops' actions were not only a violation of humanitarian principles but also went against an agreement between NATO forces and charities working in the area.
It demanded guarantees that the assaults would not be repeated and that this would be made clear to commanders in the field.
The Pentagon said that it was investigating the incident.

A day of shopping finds mobile apps aren't driving store sales—they could be hurting them.
It's one thing to read about all the great marketing apps that stores are implementing, it's quite another to actually use them. That's the lesson I learned last month when Internet Retailer paid me to go shopping around Chicago and try out mobile marketing apps in stores. I went to four stores: Best Buy, Old Navy, American Eagle and Home Depot. And, well, I was shocked and disappointed with my experience. (You can read the full magazine story Mobile in stores: A reality check here.)
In short, there is a major difference between the promises in the press releases promoting the apps that cross my desk and my personal experience.
I first found that most stores didn't have Wi-Fi, which doesn't bode well for consumers using mobile marketing apps such as shopkick in stores. Consumers who download a free shopkick app to their iPhone or Android device can earn what shopkick calls kicks—essentially rewards points—for walking into a store. They also receive other offers while in the store for doing things such as scanning bar codes on items.
Additionally, most of the store associates I spoke with didn't know about shopkick and they couldn't tell me what was in it for me if I went to the trouble of using it. Lastly, there were no store signs at any of the retailers promoting the app, so if I hadn't already known about the program, I never would have used it.
I also found that retailers didn't promote their own apps at all in stores—despite many of the retailers' apps offering bar code scanning capabilities that could come in handy for accessing rating and reviews of products.
The two mobile shopping apps that did work extremely well, however, were eBay Inc.'s RedLaser, and Amazon Price Check, both of which returned lower prices for items I scanned in stores. A fact which doesn't bode well for stores concerned about showrooming.
Needless to say, I'm going to ask tougher questions and be a bit more skeptical when reading story pitches about how mobile marketing apps are helping store retailers drive sales. My experiment showed how valuable field reporting really is, and I'm hoping to get out from under my pile of e-mail and daily duties to do it a bit more often. Because as I found there can be a big difference between what I am told will happen and what actually does.

What are the benefits?
There are a number of advantages to creating your own heat from renewable sources
Anybody who installs their own heating system from renewable sources would benefit in three ways:
You would slash the cost of your current energy bill
For virtually every single property in the UK, heat is generated at source – i.e. in the property itself, using a gas or oil boiler for example. This results in often quite hefty energy bills for your gas, oil or electricity if you have use electric heaters. By installing renewable heat equipment, you will get paid for the heat you generate. You may still have other costs (e.g. electricity to power a heat pump or wood chip/pellets for a biomass boiler) but the RHI has been structured so that these will either be far less than or roughly the same as the payments you receive. So rather than forking out for your gas or oil and dreading those cold winter months, you will actually be financially better off with the average home expected to make a net profit of £600!
You won't be affected by fuel price changes as badly
The price of oil and gas in particular has fluctuated quite a lot in recent years. By having a renewable heat system that does not use either oil or gas, you won't be affected by such changes. This doesn't mean you will be totally immune, of course, as all the systems rely on electricity or some other fuel (e.g. wood) to run, but you shouldn't be affected as much as you were previously.
You would be making a difference to the environment
99% of all the heat we currently generate comes from oil, gas fuel or electricity power stations. This means that a woeful 1% comes from renewable sources. Through the Renewable Heat Incentive, the aim is to get 12% of the UK's generate from renewable sources by 2020 which is quite a big step forward!
How do you start getting these benefits?
If the system is sub 45kW, this means that the installer must be MCS certified and the products they use must also be MCS certified as well. All MCS installers also have to be registered with the REAL Code. REAL publishes a useful register of members which you can sort by technology (i.e. what sort of equipment you want) and region (though many claim to be active all over the country).
For solar thermal, heat pump and biomass installations, we have teamed up with British Eco, a nationwide installer, who we recommend you contact if you have an installation enquiry – British Eco customer enquiry form.

Scholarships for Private K-12 Schools
This page provides information about scholarship and voucher programs
for private elementary, middle and secondary schools (K-12).
Most scholarship and voucher programs are need-based and require the family to complete a need analysis form. Most of the programs do not cover the full cost of tuition. Many require that the families make a minimum contribution toward tuition because they feel that this investment helps ensure parental involvement.
All scholarship and voucher programs are very competitive. Some are available on a first-come, first-served basis and some provide scholarships through random selection from among qualified applicants. Most have more qualified applicants than available funds.
The best source of information about financial aid for a private K-12 school is the school itself. Some schools award their own funds. Some scholarship programs do not accept applications directly, but instead award money to the schools who then select the recipients.
Please note that private K-12 scholarships are not listed in the scholarship matching services like FastWeb Scholarships. Those databases only list scholarships for postsecondary education and fellowships for graduate education. FinAid also has a separate section for college scholarships for children under age 13.
Scholarship and Voucher Programs
Referral Programs
A Better Chance refers academically talented students of color entering grades 6-11 to one of more than 300 private middle and high schools nationwide. Students must have a B+ or better GPA, rank in the top 10 percent of their class and perform at or above grade level in math and English. Financial aid, if any, is provided by the member schools and not by A Better Chance. Approximately 90% of A Better Chance scholars receive financial aid.
Advocacy Programs
The Alliance for School Choice is a national advocacy program for school voucher and scholarship tax credit programs. Their web site includes a database of state school choice programs.
"Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development."

I am not familiar with that model of course, but it should work like
the other similar models. Make sure your computer is plugged into one
of the LAN ports on the router, and make sure the Internet (I am
assuming DSL or cable) is plugged into the WAN port on the router.
What version of Windows do you have?
To be safe, just reboot the system and make sure your network
configuration is set to automatically get an IP address, before
Bring up a browser and type in 192.168.1.1 If that doesn't work, try
192.168.0.1 - and then hit enter. The setup should come up. If not,
then you do not have your network configuration setup properly. That
or a slight chance of a problem with the router, if it is new. Call
linksys support if that doesn't do it.

News release - 4/17/2014
Published 4/17/2014 (all press releases for this day)
DETAILS: On 4-16-14, at about 1600 hours, officers responded to the Residence Inn at 2101 Vineyard Avenue reference suspicious circumstances. They contacted the hotel staff and were directed to a room in the hotel. It was there that they discovered what looked to be an active Marijuana extraction lab. An extraction lab is a process where chemicals and tools are used to remove the THC from Marijuana and become a substance similar to "honey" which is a street term. The chemicals in the process are extremely flammable and have been known to cause fires and in some cases even explosions.
Officers were able to contact the renter of the room later identified as Julian Berman. Berman was arrested for the manufacturing of Marijuana extract and booked into Ventura County Jail.
A special lab team was requested from the California Department of Justice along with the Ventura County Sheriff's Department to help with the cleanup of the scene and disposal of the chemicals. The teams were on scene for over 8 hours assisting in the cleanup.

Fig. 1. Principles of (a) traditional FRET, BRET and (b) BASFI in the context of protein-protein interaction.((a) An external light source or bioluminescence reaction creates the donor in FRET or BRET, respectively, and the immediate ET sensitized emission (ET-SE) is collected to measure ET efficiency. This results in severe spectral bleedthrough (ABT and DBT) in FRET and feeble ET-SE signal in BRET. (b) In BASFI, firstly ET drives acceptor ground state photoswitching from dark (left) to bright state (middle). Then the bright state population is directly imaged by an external light (right). Note the bright LEE emission and the absence of bleedthroughs in BASFI. DBT: Donor BleedThrough; ABT: Acceptor BleedThrough; ET-SE: Energy-Transfer-Sensitized Emission; CTZ: coelenterazine and its derivatives; LEE: Laser Elicited Emission.
Research-Bioluminescence Assisted Switching and Fluorescence Imaging.
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) are two major biophysical techniques for studying nanometer scale dynamics such as protein-protein interaction within living cells. Spectroscopically, both techniques rely on RET coupled concurrent acceptor photoemission. Consequently, FRET provides high photon flux but suffers from spectral bleedthroughs, whereas BRET is nearly bleedthrough-free but its feeble emission signal hinders high-resolution cell imaging (Fig. 1a). To circumvent this difficulty, we have explored a novel hybrid strategy, bioluminescence assisted switching and fluorescence imaging (BASFI): the donor is the bioluminescent Renilla luciferase RLuc8 and its proper substrates, and the acceptor is the photochromic protein Dronpa.
When in close proximity, RET from RLuc8 during catalysis switches Dronpa to its bright state, whose fluorescence can be imaged subsequently with an external laser (Fig. 21 b). Such temporal decoupling between the RET process and the imaging process, made possible by the introduced photochromism of the acceptor, not only bypasses the spectral bleedthroughs of FRET but also drastically elevates the photon flux of BRET to achieve high-resolution protein-protein interaction images. We first demonstrated the principle of BASFI with Dronpa-RLuc8 fusion constructs, and then applied it to image drug-inducible intermolecular FKBP-FRB interactions in live cells (shown in Fig. 22) with high sensitivity, resolution and specificity [31]. Integrating the advantages of FRET and BRET, BASFI will be a valuable tool for various biophysical studies.

When the battle for the Lone Star State was happening during the 1990s in the NBA, little did NBA fans know that they were getting a glimpse in to the future of the NBA.
In a recent interview with Men's Fitness, David Robinson discussed his military service, the current state of the NBA,along with his playing career.
In the 1990s, the center position was evolving away from the plodding big man who ate up space down low and plodded up and down the court; to an athlete with grace that could fly up and down the court while not being pushed around down low.
In Robinson's mind:
"Skill-wise, I'd have to say Hakeem. He could really do anything. Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) was a great physical specimen. I mean, 7 foot, 350 pounds. There wasn't anybody like him. Those are probably the two best guys."
While Shaquille O'Neal is undoubtedly the most unstoppable force (when he chose to play) in the NBA, the battles between Hakeem Olajuwan and David Robinson showcased two legends that were comfortable in both post and out on the floor.
Robinson showed the merits of hitting the gym to enable a big man keep his strength to be a force in the low post.
Dwight Howard and rest of the chiseled big men were able to maintain their strength while maintaining their athleticism and flexibility.
Olajuwan brought a small forwards agility to the low post game due to his years of improving his footwork while playing soccer in his native country of Nigeria.
Olajuwan's game was so impressive that even ten years after he has finished playing, the games top players (LeBron James and Dwight Howard) are using him as a resource to help improve their games.

Two area police departments accepted awards Tuesday that recognize stellar work in making drunken driving arrests in 2013.
At a ceremony held at the James Restaurant in the Holiday Inn, county DUI Advisory Council Chairwoman Carol Sides presented plaques to members of the state police and Old Lycoming Township police department.
State police out of the Montoursville barracks took first place for the 350 DUI arrests their department made last year with Old Lycoming Township police in second place for 78 arrests.

NICO SALVATORI/Sun-Gazette
Officers from state police and the Old Lycoming Township police department accepted awards for their efforts in making DUI arrests in 2013 on Tuesday. From left are Lt. Todd Weltmer, state police; Chris Smith, highway safety specialist; Old Lycoming Township Police Chief William Solomon; DUI Advisory Council Chairwoman Carol Sides; state trooper Adam Kirk; and Officer Robert Cochran of Old Lycoming Township.
Accepting on behalf of the state police were Lt. Todd Weltmer and Trooper Adam Kirk, whose 52 arrests were the result of vigilant patrolling, and a program that gives police officers two additional field sobriety tests.
"Adam is always looking, even in the daylight," Weltmer said.
The program, ARIDE, or Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement, makes it easier for officers to test for the presence of drugs, such as marijuana and prescription pills.
"Of the 52 DUI arrests I made, eight to 10 of them were drug-related," Kirk said.
Kirk's special training allows him always to be on the lookout for key indicators that suggest a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
"If there is a crash, I assume it's a DUI until I can prove otherwise," Kirk said.
Kirk's skill-set is crucial to assessing accidents that occur in daylight, when he sees more incidents involving drugs, such as heroin or prescription pills, than alcohol.
"When someone is drug impaired, that's harder to detect than when someone has been drinking," Kirk said, adding that prescription drugs like Oxycontin or Oxycodone are popular right now. Through interviewing suspects, he can tell whether drugs or alcohol contributed to an incident, such as a vehicle crash.
Weltmer attributed much of his department's success to many of the younger troopers, who have gone through training that wasn't available when he joined the force. Weltmer praised also Old Lycoming Township Police Chief William Solomon, who accepted the second-place award with Officer Robert Cochran.
Cochran made ten to 15 DUI arrests last year while Solomon made 23.
Solomon said his department has been busy this year already, citing a number of arrests made over Mardi Gras weekend.
State police were similarly tasked: one car made six DUI arrests during Mardi Gras, according to Kirk.
Though Tuesday's event honored the work of police efforts, there also was an emphasis on drug and alcohol abuse as a whole across the county, and how its consequences can be prevented and reduced.
Chris Smith, of the Community Traffic Safety Project, mentioned her organization's efforts to promote responsible drinking, such as partnering with area beer distributors and restaurants and bars to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence. She said the most effective method simply is through posters in the bathrooms of bars that remind people it's safer to secure a ride at the end of a night of drinking than risk causing a fatal accident.
There also was talk of the bus provided by the Cell Block that takes students who have been drinking back and forth from the bar to the school.
Sides questioned whether the bus enables students to abuse alcohol.
Donn Troutman, director of Safety and Security at Lycoming College, said the Cell Block provides a valuable service.
"The bus keeps students off the streets and sidewalks, where they could be victims of a crime," he said.
County Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr. said there were seven fatal crashes last year, four of which involved drunken driving.
Members of the council emphasized the importance of DUI Victim Impact Panels, where victims of crashes involving drunken driving can speak about the impact it has had on their lives. The panels can raise awareness for the public and for police officers.
"More often than not, we deal with the drunk driver and not the victims," Cochran said.
"If officers would attend the panels and see what victims have to go through, it would motivate them," to be more proactive in DUI enforcement, Kirk said.

The team took a red-eye flight late Sunday night, arriving in Guyana early Monday morning and were greeted by hot humid temperatures . They headed to check into the hotel in a 1964 bus, however, they didn't make it too far because the bus got a flat tire. After getting it fixed and checking into the hotel, they shared lunch together and spent sometime out soulwinning. They visited in homes where the level of poverty they encountered was overwhelming.
Monday and Tuesday, they worked with Missionary Latcho (found through connections with our Medical Missionaries, Bradley Edmondson). Missionary Latcho and his church served with a humble and sweet spirit. They provided dinner for the team, and even had Coca-Cola for them to drink!
The evening service they held for the missionary was at his new church plant, and it was only their second service. 94 people were in attendance, Bro. Kistler lead singing and Bro. Park preached. Through the service and personal soulwinning on their first day 53 souls trusted Christ.
Today the team has again spent hours out soulwinning and tonight, Bro. Kistler will be preaching at Bro. Latchos church in the service our team is leading.
It has already been said that although they went to do missions work, God is doing a great work in their hearts. Please continue to pray for the team as they conduct services, spend hours visiting and continue to work with the missionaries throughout this week.
We had another tremendous day today in Guyana. After a great night's rest, we did a little sightseeing and went to the Guyana zoo. It was not all pleasure, however, as seven people were saved, including a man named Lloyd. He came to the service tonight and brought his wife, Cindy, who aso trusted Christ! We concuded our time with Bro. Latcho tonight and had a tremendous service where 107 were in attendance. 54 people trusted Christ today! God has definitely been working here in our midst and we are just privileged and humbled to be a part of it. Another great indication of God's intervention is the fact that it has not rained the two days we have been here. It is the rainy season had rained every day for the longest time, but not since we've arrived. That is significant because the areas we canvassed would be nearly impossible to reach. It was already muddy and hard to reach the houses. Plus, the service location is merely a roof with benches and lights. Rain would have ruined the services. God is definitely in control and we are looking forward to what else He has in store for us.
We went to two different public schools today and saw 85 children trust Christ! Looking forward to being at Victory Baptist Church tonight with Missionary Noel Shrivnauth.
It is amazing how God is continuing to bless here in Guyana during this trip! Tonight's revival service at Missionary Noel Shrivnauth's church was amazing! It lasted almost 3 hours! After enjoying the singing, we had testimony time and we had TESTIMONIES! Mrs. Karen Leger was the last to give her testimony and Bro. Shrivnauth was led to have the invitation, BEFORE the preaching! After it was all said and done, there were 176 in attendance with 20 saved and 2 baptized! Praise the Lord! On top of that, on the way home we found out that Lloyd and his wife Cindy, the couple that was saved on Tuesday, came to Bro. Latcho's midweek service.
I guess the Devil was tired of hearing of all the blessings and tried to put up a fight. Bro. Hank Kistler ended up with some type of bug and was down for the count for the rest of the day. Then, the rain made us reschedule our soulwinning with Pastor Ibrahim, the pastor of a church plant started 10 months ago by Bro. Shrivnauth. During lunch, we waited over 20 minutes for our "fast food" and when people don't get food on time, they tend to become a little "cranky". On top of that, we ended up being late to the rescheduled soulwinning time due to getting lost. I thought for sure that very few would be in attendance tonight, much less trust Christ. God had other plans, however.
People started showing up little by little and the pews were filing up. After the testimony time, the Lord led Pastor Ibrahim to conduct the invitation before the preaching just as Bro. Shrivnauth did yesterday. When visitors were being acknowledged, it was discovered that 2 teen girls were invited by a teen boy that was waiting for our group so that he could go soulwinning with us. When he could not wait any longer, he headed home and met those 2 girls that he would not have met had he gone with us. Both trusted Christ tonight along with 11 others! 110 people were in attendance for a tremendous service. I'm so glad we are on the winning side!
Today, our group enjoyed a day taking in some beautiful scenery of the country of Guyana. We went on a river excursion that was recommended to us by Bro. Shrivnauth. We left at 6 AM and rode a bus to a town called Parika. There, we took a boat ride on the Essequibo River, South America's 3rd largest river, to a mining town named Bartica. We enjoyed some amazing native tropical fruit and some shopping before heading off to our final destination: Baganara Island Resort. We enjoyed one of Guyana's finest restaurants located on that resort. The team members were able to relax after a delicious buffet by kayaking, fishing, walking on nature trails, or laying in one of many hammocks, all the while admiring God's amazing handiwork. The fellowship was great and it helped us recoup after a busy week and prepare us for ministry work for the weekend. We are looking forward to going soulwinning with Bro. Shrivnauth and his soulwinners tomorrow.
We had an incredible day today with Bro. Shrivnauth. His family and soulwinners prepared a delicious brunch for us for the soulwinning meeting. Our group then split up to visit different bus routes. The rain held off for the duration of our visitation and the soulwinners collectively saw 68 people trust Christ as their Saviour! It was also encouraging to see the number of soulwinners from Bro. Shrivnauth's church go out. We were also able to see Bro. Latcho's other two works before heading back to the hotel. Sunday will be a busy day for us as we conduct all the Sunday schools and church services. Praying for God's continued blessing for all the services, including the ones back at International.
We had a great finish to our missions trip today. Even with heavy rainfall all day, we still saw God work mightily! This morning, there were 156 in attendance with 4 saved and 4 baptized. Our team taught 4 Sunday school classes and preached 3 church services. It was also great to be able to Skype into the Brooklyn morning service and share some of the many blessings. After the service, the team was split up into two groups and ate lunch at the homes of church families. Their graciousness and humble spirits were amazing. A great surprise came later on when our hired driver came to the evening service with his wife. We've been working on him periodically throughout the week. The significance is that he is an Imam of a mosque here in Guyana!
Please pray for our safety as we fly out early in the morning to come back to America. Although we anticipate returning to our homes and families, part of our hearts will remain here in Guyana. Thank God that there will be a reunion someday in Heaven!

Students present research at state capitolPosted April 23, 2013
Two undergraduate students will represent ACU on April 26, at the Texas Undergraduate Research Day at the Texas Capitol. ACU is one of 14 institutions with two students selected to present at the event.
David Gasvoda, senior English major from Houston, will deliver his paper, "Cormac McCarthy's Projection of Nature In Blood Meridian." Spenser Lynn, senior physics major from White Oak, will present "Development of a Clean Glove Box for the NIFFTE Collaboration."
Dr. Rusty Towell, chair of the Department of Engineering and Physics, and Dr. Autumn Sutherlin, director of undergraduate research, will also attend.
"Participation in this event reflects particularly well on ACU, because we are among less than a quarter of the schools allowed to have more than one student presenting," says Sutherlin. "With presentations from physics and English, we are able to demonstrate some of the breadth of the exciting research being done at ACU."
The Undergraduate Research Day highlights the experiences of undergraduates engaged in research across Texas. Students from 51 general academic and health-related institutions, both public and independent, will present their research at a poster session for the members of the Texas State Legislature. Approximately 65 posters will be presented.

Medieval Fantasy Mechs
After an age of destruction, the Second Age of Walkers is now at hand.
Explore the ruins of the surface world in sturdy iron mechs powered by
steam, magic, or the labor of a thousand slaves!
A New Frontier for Fantasy d20
This hardcover core rulebook introduces not just a new world but the
first comprehensive d20 treatment of fantasy mechs. Built on the foundation
of a traditional fantasy campaign, DragonMech is easy to integrate into
any ongoing game, or it can be used on its own. It features extensive rules
for fantasy mechs powered by machinery, magic, and manual labor, fully
integrated with a host of new classes, feats, skills, and items specially
designed for a mech-based fantasy campaign.
Rules Set: d20 v3.5.
WW17600, 240 pages, hardback, $34.99
The heroes of DragonMech! From left to right, a mech jockey, coglayer,
and steam mage (with clockwork familiar). A dwarven city-mech can be seen
in the background.
The Barbagula, a one-man mech favored by the Irontooth Clans, designed
to spear and trip enemy mechs.
A lunar dragon, the largest of the monsters brought to Highpoint by
the lunar rain.
Lunar dragons face off against a barbagula mech. An ominous moon rises,
portending lunar rain.
Life on Highpoint has adapted to the lunar rain in many ways. The city-mechs
are at the top of the food chain. At the bottom are the worm farmers, who
live in the warrens of the giant worms they herd. Of course, not all giant
worms are domesticated...
Vermil, "the worm city," is the largest concentration of worm farmers.
Vermil is challenging the dominance of the city-mechs by digging trench
zones that trap unwary mechs.

Session in English
The framing of the population-environment relationship led to opposing views. Population growth is either detrimental or advantageous to the environment. The rapid population growth in the developing regions where at least 3/4 of the world population resides provides evidences of environmental deterioration. There is, for example, an increase in air and water pollution especially in the urban areas. Even wealthy countries where there is relatively slow population growth are also concern in overshooting their "carrying capacity". The climate change phenomenon, in turn, has further linked population with the environment. The extreme weather conditions, from drought to flooding has threatened food security, increased poverty and displaced many populations worldwide. This raises some legitimate concerns like, what are the changes in population trends associated with environment? How do the populations in the developed and developing regions cope with various types of environmental changes? This session welcomes papers that deal with this broad topic that links population with environment.
Ethnicity, Multiculturalism and Social CohesionSession Organizer
Farhat YUSUF, Australia, email@example.com
Session in English
Many countries have ethnic populations. These may be persons living in a country who were born in some other country, or persons who, though born in their country of residence, are different from the majority population in terms of their social, cultural or religious norms.
Countries such as the UK and many in Europe have large segments of their populations consisting of overseas-born people; while countries such as China, Malaysia and Sri Lanka have distinct ethnic groups living in these countries for centuries. Some countries such as Australia and Canada have adopted policies of multiculturalism, and encourage integration rather than the complete assimilation of migrants. Social cohesion is an important consideration in adopting such policies. Papers concerning the demography of ethnic groups, as well as those dealing with the interactions between ethnicity, and multiculturalism, ethnicity and social cohesion or with all three would be welcome. While authors are encouraged to use quantitative data based on censuses, surveys or other sources, papers utilizing only qualitative data will also be considered.

Gender, Reproduction, Mortality and Morbidity InequalitySession Organizer
Ofra ANSON, Ben Gurion University, Israel, email@example.com
Session in English
The fact that, in most societies, women survive longer but are less healthy than men at least throughout their adult life has been well documented. This paradox has been under debate for more than half a century now, without really being resolved. Yet beyond the paradox, there are number of questions which puzzle the scientific community:
- At what age do health differential start?
- At what age does gender gradient of mortality and morbidity reach its pick?
- Do gender mortality and morbidity differences converge at old age?
- Do the greater gender behavioral similarities (such as education attainment, labor force participation, occupational change, etc.) affect gender differences in causes of death and patterns of morbidity?
- Are men's and women's life expectancy and burden of disease differentially affected by the second and third demographic transitions?
- To what degree do resources (i.e. education, income and social support) differentially affect the longevity and health of men and women? These are the topics which will be dealt with in this session.

Session in English
This session encourages submissions on all issues related to all aspects of fertility and reproductive health which emphasize their gender-related, sociological dimensions. Papers may stress, for example, topics concerning autonomy and other aspects of female empowerment, including adolescents and other vulnerable groups; male roles in fertility; fertility assessed at the couple level; the measurement of fertility and its component behaviors; fertility determinants, consequences, and fertility-related beliefs and attitudes; as well as reproductive health issues (including family planning, maternal and child health, sexuality, and infertility). Empirical case studies and comparative research studies are equally welcome, be it focusing on developed or developing countries.
Global Issues in Family ResearchSession Organizers

Gerardo ZAMORA, Universidad Pública de Navarra, Spain, email@example.com
Session in English
Family is an important sociological and demographic unit. It is the main locus for social and biological population reproduction. In the past decades, this sphere has changed a lot. Some authors even consider a Second Demographic Transition in course. Instances of these changes are found in the increase in cohabitation, late marriage, delay of parenthood and further fertility decrease. Topics that illustrate the many resulting consequences of these changes will be explored, such as, the evolution of women`s economic and social roles, children outcomes in a context of increasing family dissolution, and particularly new family arrangements resulting in the higher presence of children from partners` previous marriages.
One salient and very important consequence of the changing family structure is the increasing number of childless individuals and couples. Today most childless individuals over the age of 65 differ greatly from the "new" and upcoming generations of childless persons and, therefore, it is important to ask whether this phenomenon is connected to population aging. Moreover, it is not fully clear, to what extent these changes are spread over the globe, and how local cultural norms help to explain them. Thus, this session will focus on descriptions and analysis of family changes, including involuntary and voluntary childlessness, and the relevance of such research for policies addressing demographic change.
Global Population Challenges in an Unequal World. Panel SessionSession Organizer
Elena BASTIDA-GONZALEZ, Florida International University, USA, firstname.lastname@example.com
Session in English
This panel session invites participants to identify and discuss demographic and institutional transitions that have a bearing on the challenges facing an unequal world. In particular topics are welcome that lead to a thoughtful, but provocative, discussion of the influence these processes exercise, e.g., changing population structures, migration, on social institutions; and vice versa changing family values and norms, advances or declines in political, religious, gender or racial/ethnic participation on demographic processes. Abstracts for discussion are encouraged that highlight these processes globally or in distinct world regions.
Impact of Violence in Global DemographicsSession Organizers

Session in English/Spanish
Latin America has traditionally been considered one of the most violent areas in the world, with high rates of homicide, suicide and accidents in many countries of the region. The activity of organized crime groups joined the paramilitaries, guerrillas and the armed response of governments, as well as a culture that accepts the solution of many interpersonal conflicts through violence, has caused numerous deaths and significant population movements. The objective of this session is to analyze how interpersonal and collective violence affects the structure of the population, its geographic location and the levels of mortality, fertility and migration and therefore, as this situation becomes a challenge for Latin American societies.
América Latina ha sido tradicionalmente considerada como una de las zonas más violentas del mundo, con altas tasas de homicidios, suicidios y accidentes en muchos de los países de la región. A la actividad del crimen organizado se suman la de grupos paramilitares, las guerrillas así como la respuesta armada de los gobiernos, y además, una cultura que acepta la solución de muchos conflictos interpersonales por medios violentos, todo lo cual ha provocado numerosas muertes e importantes desplazamientos poblacionales. El objetivo de esta sesión es analizar como la violencia interpersonal y colectiva afecta la estructura de la población, su ubicación geográfica, los niveles de mortalidad, fecundidad y migración y por lo tanto, como esta situación se convierte en un desafío para las sociedades latinoamericanas.
Organizational Consequences of Aging and Declining PopulationsSession Organizers

Session in English
Today, demographic change in most developed societies means aging and sometimes declining populations. Demographic research has obvious strengths in explaining causes of demographic change but there is comparatively little systematic research on its (possible) consequences. Especially research on consequences of declining population numbers is still scarce. However, in modern societies, organizations are obviously crucial for coping with uncertainties and challenges resulting from aging and declining populations. Nevertheless, population and organization studies have only occasionally deliberated jointly about organizational consequences of aging and declining populations. In this context, territoriality of organizational design/jurisdiction and migration across territorial borders seem to be intriguing topics for joint deliberation.
The aim of the session is to fill this gap by addressing the following questions:
- Which organizations are especially vulnerable to aging and declining populations? Theoretically, the desired demographic structure of an organization follows largely from its goals, or more broadly from its formal structure.
- How well are specific organizations able to control their own demographic structure in the face of ageing and declining populations? According to Stinchcombe et al. (1968), the degree of control an organization has over its demography is partly determined by the degree its jurisdiction is defined in territorial terms. However, in a more and more globalized world that is increasingly less the case – except for certain public service providers. How do individual organizations cope with demographic change?
- How responsive are specific organizational populations to demographic decline?
- Which consequences from demographic change result for (the demography of) individual organizations and entire organizational populations?
Whereas Organizational Demography addresses demographic change in individual organizations, the Organizational Ecology analyses change in organizational populations. In difference to nation states, organizations are quite often founded, merged, split-up or dissolved. From an organizational point of view, demographic change increases the likelihood of changing sizes of demand, participation (e.g. in education or politics) and labor supply in a certain territory. Declining numbers of (sub-) populations are likely to induce waves of organizational dissolutions and mergers in a certain territory (e.g. business mergers, school closures, administrative territorial reforms).
However, other theoretical perspectives on organizational consequences of aging and declining populations (e.g. systems theory, governance approaches) might be fruitful for empirical social research as well.
This session is open to different types of conceptual papers and theoretically grounded empirical studies based on qualitative and/or quantitative methods.
Population and Gender InequalitySession Organizers

Session in English
The Human Development Report of the UNDP in shifting from mechanical indicators of economic progress as GNP and GDP to the well-being and freedoms actually enjoyed by populations. The Human Development Report has three distinct departures: a) the development and use of gender-equity-sensitive indicators; b) the formulation and utilization of measures of gender equality and inequality; and c) the identification of efforts and contributions made by women that go unrecognized in standard national income and employment statistics.
Population growth and gender inequality are two entities, yet concurrent and relative terms encompassing many other factors.Gender inequality is a unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on gender. Gender inequality is socially constructed. Gender inequality manifests through race, culture, politics, country, and economic situation. It is a causal factor of violence against women.
Increasing population growth has led to increasing migration across national borders.
International communities are now visible segments of populations of many countries. Research on migrant groups has also been undertaken from a multi-dimensional perspective. But these studies have by and large concentrated on male migrants, and treated women as dependents of men who are projected as 'primary migrants'. Gender is an issue that has commonly been side-lined in studies on migration.
Migration across one's national borders per se throws up several challenges in one's life. While migrant communities, in general experience a sense of alienation, women in these communities not only have to make adjustments to new geographical locations, but also to changed social spaces. International migration puts extra pressure on women because they need to make multiple adjustments in totally new situations. It is in the context of this theme that the present session is planned to be organized.
Factors such as age, economic status and group networks have a key role to play in determining the situations in which women in these communities are placed. It is the discussion of the varied ways by which gender determines the experiences of women in international migrant communities that is the focus of this session.
Papers are invited for the session under the following sub-themes:
- Population growth and gender inequality.
- Gender Inequality and health.
- Gender Inequality and Wage discrimination, occupational segregation, education, and politics.
- Population and Gender based violence
- Gender Inequality in Human Development Indicators.
- Gender in theoretical discourses on international migration
- Inter-group differences in negotiating the gendered impact of migration
- Youth, gender and unequal power relations: Coping strategies
- Labour market operations and economic empowerment opportunities for women in migrant communities
- Naturalization of migrant groups: Embedded inequalities Papers on cross cutting themes are also welcome.

North Korea, suspected of exporting ballistic missiles to Pakistan and Iran, has admitted to the charge and demanded compensation from the United States to stop further proliferation, an American official said here today.
North Korean officials said they would be glad to stop the proliferation of missiles if the US Government was willing to compensate North Korea accordingly, Peter Brookes, aide to US House of Representative's International Relations Committee (HIRC) chairman Benjamin Gilman said.
A four-member fact-finding HIRC team which returned from North Korea was told that the latter earned about $500 million a year from misssile exports.
However, our estimate is that North Korea earns $1.5 billion from missile exports, Brookes said, adding the actions of North Korea were unacceptable to the team.

K-1 people I need some info on Thailand Muay Thai?
Ok Swick spent a lot of January training in Thailand working on his Muay Thai. Now I know they have sick Muay Thai in Thailand obviously but I was looking for some info on the guys Swick has been working with and if a huge improvement is possible.
The gym is Tiger Muay Thai I'm sure that's not much but I was wondering if it was a big gym or something.
Here's a list of their trainers I read it but it doesn't really make sense to me. I'm especially interested in how good Kru Robert is because I know Swick spent time with him.
Also MLS I know you are a big time boxing guy so I wondered if you think the fact Swick spent a lot of time working with Micheal Katsidis will help him?
Anything you guys can give me on this would be great
Alan Belcher has spent a bunch of time training in Thailand.
So yeah. Though I cant see it hurting him I wouldnt expect him to all of a sudden become the terminator or anything.
Oh and Katsidis loves to get punched in the face. Hes one of the worst defensive boxers Ive ever seen. Fun to watch, but loves to get punched in the face.
O no I'm not he's been going to Thailand for a long time I'm just curious who he's working with and what kind of talent level they have.
There are two top gyms in Thailand, and Tiger is one of them.
It's a very good gym. Robert isn't the best I've ever seen, but he's pretty good (despite the .500 record)
Alot of UFC guys have trained there; Fitch, Swick, Belcher.
There are definitely better gyms there than that one but it is still a solid camp. Kru Roberts is an ok trainer and I know he is their AKA affiliate but not to sure on that relationship. I don't know if that means he comes to AKA to help them or when AKA guys come there he is the ones that trains them. But if Swick can work with either of the Ajarn's that would benefit him a lot. But they have plenty of sold trainers there, Swick just needs to work with them and not just Roberts.
As far as working with Katsidis, not really a great thing. Katsidis is under the belief that blocking punches with your face is the best thing so as far as any type of defense, Swick won't learn much.
I know Swick did an MMA seminar for the gym. And I saw pictures of him training with Robert. IDK who else he trained with besides sparring with Katsidis and Robert but I'm sure with how long he was there he worked with a lot of guys.

The Computer.Aided.Making studio (CAMstudio) is an interdisciplinary environment where both academics and design entrepreneurs come together to utilize digital fabrication to prototype, simulate, and realize digital designs in the physical realm. CAMstudio is part of the Interior Architecture program at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. The studio was developed to be a common ground that facilitated interactions between analogue and digital processes, provide a place to experiment, and expose interior design students to digital fabrication machines and techniques. Our studio has the following equiptment:
The CAMstudio is a place where students are not only challenged but learn to challenge the design, production, and end-product of any interior space. At the CAMstudio students are able to realize the digital world as tangible objects by converging computer-aided-design (CAD) with computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) technology. This intersection of CAD/CAM is made possible by students learning to speak the computing language of fabricators and develop a unique skill set which promotes and utilizes technology. The CAMstudio has allowed for a new craft of model building and full scale prototyping in interior design to emerge, a digital craft where designing meets rapid prototyping and high tech machinery.

A slender canal divides the two sides of Nyhavn ("new harbour"), picturesquely lined with colourful eighteenth-century houses – now bars and cafés – and thronged with tourists year-round. Just north of Nyhavn, the royal district of Frederiksstaden centres on cobbled Amalienborg Slotsplads, home to the four Amalienborg royal palaces. Two remain as royal residences, and there's a changing of the guard at noon if the monarch is home. In the opposite direction is the great marble dome of Frederikskirken, also known as Marmorkirken or marble church, modelled on St Peter's in Rome.
