Cambodia and Southeast Asia is undergoing dramatic political, economic and social changes, placing new pressures on minority groups and vulnerable peoples. Some changes are driven by Cambodia's uniquely troubled history. Other forces are global, affecting Cambodia and all other nations in the region. The conference invites innovative interpretations of "margins," "borders" and "minority groups" in Southeast Asia.
The problems of ethnic groups are one central concern. Transnational and cross-border influences are creating new challenges and opportunities for ethnic minorities. The Cham and other Muslim communities are reconnecting to international Islam. Labor markets cross national boundaries. Vietnamese migrant workers travel to Cambodia, as Cambodian workers travel to Thailand. International loans, agencies and programs targeting "development," itself an often disruptive cross-border force, are transforming many Cambodian institutions and redefining traditional social margins in the process. This clash of forces is most profoundly felt by the indigenous peoples. The conference invites examination of other minorities and vulnerable groups "on the margins" who have been systematically denied access to important social resources. Theories of social exclusion teach that the landlessness, street children, victims of domestic violence and gay and lesbian persons are on the margins of different Cambodian institutions and that significant borders and boundaries need not be of a strictly geographic nature.
Developing from the sixth semester session of the Center for Khmer Studies' Rockefeller Foundation funded Building Capacity in Higher Education (BIC-HE) program covering vulnerable peoples and ethnic minorities in Mainland Southeast Asia, this two day conference provides a forum in which early career Cambodian academics present their research alongside international scholars with related interests. With an emphasis on developing comparisons between Cambodia and other countries in Southeast Asia, individual presentations and panel discussions provide opportunities for the presentation of research, trends and analyses covering minority groups in Southeast Asia.
Scholars based in Southeast Asia are especially encouraged to participate, and some limited funding may be available to support their attendance.
Please submit titles, short abstracts with 300 words maximum and contact details to email@example.com by December 15 2007.

This is nothing new for the "Choco Group". PHD wrote about it 2 years ago, and I am sure he was not the first, but it is lower than the normal paleo/pb/phd. And he is higher fat normally, just not for weight loss especially for women in this age group. (again not talking any other medical issues) I feel good about following PHD because I feel it has Mark's stamp of approval.[/QUOTE]
My point is Mark wrote the prologue and when asked about the carb debate he simply states that they are on the higher end of his scale....but the basic premises are the same so don't sweat the small stuff. In my opinion its the same here. Your 5-10% is only speaking of an actual difference of 80-160 calories if your eating 1600 calories. I doubt anybody can find me any studies ANYWHERE that show a significant difference in health, weight, or lean mass when you simply switch out fat and carbs for that many calories. In fact we looked at a study much like this in another thread that compared 50g of carb intake to 150g on an isocaloric diet. No significant difference. No, the higher carbs did not help retain more lean mass. The high fat diet fared just as well in all markers. Like I said, there is no use sweating the small stuff.
You like a bit more carbs go on. N=1 is the best you got when the studies show no significant difference. Go with what works for you. Really I think there are bigger fish to fry in this age group. Many of which are mobility related. Not for everyone, but for a significant number.

The gay ring finger is the middle finger on the right hand. It is symbolic for the right hand because gays do have the right to enter into marriage or civil union. The middle finger represents a sentiment reflected to those that oppose it. As opposed to the traditional left hand/ring finger of heterosexual marriage, it is uniquely for proud gay people.
Are they gay, their wedding bands are on their middle fingers?
Yeah, that's the gay ring finger.

Contact your New Home Consultant with any questions. Get started today!
With designs from 500 to over 3,500 square feet, Express Modular provides hundreds of adaptable floorplans. Cape Cod, Ranch, Two-Story, and Chalet designs are just a few of the many home styles we offer to suit any home site and, with room configurations to fit practically any lifestyle. Do you desire a truly custom home? Let our experienced new home consultants help you in creating the home of your dreams. Our team can assist you to exploit the design potential that modern modular construction provides. As a national leader in custom modular homes, we provide a virtually unlimited ability to create a custom home design.
Selecting the best building method to build your custom home is a critical part of the building process. The old school way of building outdoors just doesn't deliver the healthy and clean living environment that modern modular homes can provide. We encourage you to tour one of our factories before choosing Express Modular to construct your custom home. Let us show you how our construction process provides an energy efficient and healthy home that can only be achieved in an indoor factory environment. The friendly and professional team at Express Modular is prepared to help you as you move to make your dream home become a reality.
In-factory construction quality for modular homes is invariably superior to that which is conventionally built on site. Materials cut with a hand-held circular saw at a home site are less exact than the ones cut with permanently installed in a factory assembly line environment. What's more, factory inspections check every building detail from floor framing to final paint. Trained factory inspectors, or independent third party inspectors, conduct multiple inspections per house. Local building inspectors may only perform two to five predetermined inspections on the typical site built home. All building materials are inventoried inside and out of the elements. Damp materials stocked at many on-site building locations are used in the new home creating warped walls, bowed ceilings, in addition to mold and mildew issues. With modular construction your custom home is built to the highest standard possible and prepared for delivery to your home site.
Plastic sheeting that is provided at the factory to keep your new home safe from the rain is disposed of just before installation of your home on the foundation. Your modular home is basically over-built because it needed to be. It had to survive shipment to your job site and the process of installation with a crane. Imagine the peace of mind you will have with the knowledge that the simplest thing your home will ever do is set on your foundation, however with the additional built-in strength, your home continues to protect you and your family from all of nature's forces. After delivery onsite, our modular homes will have any onsite attachments completed and site work will be finished. Your home continues to be completed in the dry environment that was initiated in the factory. Your custom home is finished swiftly and you can start to enjoy the benefits of your new home much faster than with homes built using conventional outdoor construction.
Design for a new modular home will start with determining the Wind Zone, Thermal Zone and Roof Load Zone of the building location. All of these must be incorporated in the design from the start, and included in any engineering step of the plan. You'll want layouts for your attached garages, verandas or decks as they are included in the modular home plan. is very important for you to catalog what you need to plan for your residence so it can be established that these will be incorporated into the plan.
There are no limits to the square footage to the plan using modular homes; currently there are designs as large as 1500 to 3000 square feet constructed in 32 modules, with your common range between 4 to 6 thousand sq ft within ten to twelve modules. All of the home designs Express Modular makes available are constructed in this way, including our log homes and our many enviro-friendly home options.
With the growing interest and demand for energy efficiency, Express Modular takes pride in providing the most energy efficient home possible. As an Energy Star partner, Express Modular offers several items as standard that meets or exceeds current Energy Star, LEED, and Green Building Standards. Express Modular allows you, the customer, the alternative to customize any of our modular homes to meet or exceed the requirements for the certification of your choice. If it's an optional Energy Star Certified home you require, Express Modular will enlist a third party Energy Star rater to guarantee your custom home meets or exceeds the prevailing requirements specified by Energy Star.
Today, modular building means reduced homebuyer headaches. Building indoors in a factory environment means exterior finishes are completed last, not first. This allows us to construct your custom home from the inside out, the opposite of traditional outdoor construction. What this means to you is that the building envelope of your custom home can be constructed to be super energy efficient. This is a standard feature with modular homes and their building process. Increased insulation, high-tech sealants, and the use of advanced materials are just some of the reasons to adopt the advantages of modular building for your custom home.
What is Express Modular? Express Modular is a nationwide modular home provider that helps you build your new custom home and do it at the best value possible. How?

Why can't you just get a VPN appliance and setup so that it forms a VPN
tunnel to your office and then you can connect your PC to your local VPN
appliance, the VPN appliance to the customers network, and as long as they
permit PPTP or IPSec outbound unrestricted (which I would never do), then
you can run without them having to do anything.

The most prominent symptoms of the transition to menopause include:
- Irregular menstrual periods. In the years preceding menopause, women experience changes in their menstrual cycle. The time between periods can become shorter or longer and periods may last a longer or shorter number of days. Bleeding can be heavier or lighter, and change in flow from month to month. It is also normal for periods to skip a cycle.
- Hot flashes and night sweats. Women often feel hot flashes as an intense build-up in body heat, followed by sweating and chills. Some women report accompanying anxiety as the sensation builds. In most cases, hot flashes last for 3 - 5 years, although they may linger in some women for years after menopause. Women who have surgical removal of both ovaries, and who do not receive hormone replacement therapy, may have more severe hot flashes than women who enter menopause naturally.
- Difficulty sleeping. Insomnia is common during perimenopause. It may be caused by the hot flashes, or it may be an independent symptom of hormonal changes.
- Vaginal dryness. Decrease in estrogen can cause thinning and drying of the vaginal membrane (vaginal atrophy also called atrophic vaginitis), which can cause itching and pain during sex (dyspareunia).
- Mood changes. Mood changes and irritability are most likely to be a combination of sleeplessness and hormonal swings. Some women find the menopausal transition to be psychologically stressful. Once a woman has reached a menopausal state, however, depression is no more common than before, and women with a history of premenstrual depression often have significant mood improvement.
Although forgetfulness is often mentioned as a symptom, evidence indicates that menopause does not affect memory or other cognitive functions. It is normal for both men and women to experience some memory lapses as part of the natural aging process.

A Silver Alert was canceled Sunday morning after police located a missing Norman man.
Authorities said W.D. McIntosh was found in the 3700 block of South Jenkins Avenue, and he was taken to Norman Regional Hospital for precautionary reasons.
The Silver Alert had been issued Saturday night after family members said McIntosh, 86, left his home and didn't return.
After a four-hour search, the alert was issued.

When asked about the bright spots in a season that ended prematurely with a playoff loss to the Rangers, Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello and coach Brent Sutter were quick to mention the unexpectedly strong play of Mike Mottau as a top-four defenseman.
Although Mottau was rewarded yesterday with a two-year contract that will pay him $750,000 next season and $775,000 in 2009-10, the 30-year-old will almost certainly lose his prominent role on the Devils' blue line.
"He was a pleasant surprise. He played in all situations and worked well with Colin White," Lamoriello said. "Mike played like a second or third defenseman, but we know we have to improve in that area. We know we have to add another defenseman or two at a higher level.
"We're not going to sit still. We're not happy with what transpired."
Lamoriello acknowledged he was focused on acquiring at least one top defenseman, hopefully two, via trade or free agency. Mottau said he wouldn't be upset if the Devils made such a move.
"If someone is doing something better than I was, I have no problem taking a lesser role," he said. "If they're getting a top-end guy, it's only going to help our team."
The Devils also signed defenseman Sheldon Brookbank to a two-year deal that will pay him $500,000 each season. Both players could've become unrestricted free agents on July 1 and tested the market, but were appreciative of the chance they received from the Devils.
"I really appreciated the opportunity given to me this year," Mottau said. "All I did was go and play. I took advantage of the opportunity. I didn't do anything special."
Brookbank, 27, was claimed on waivers from the Columbus Blue Jackets Oct. 2 and played 44 games for the Devils in his first full NHL season.
"He's a size and strength guy who can be a sixth or seventh defenseman at any time," Lamoriello said.
Lamoriello said no decisions have been made regarding veteran forwards Jay Pandolfo and Sergei Brylin. Brylin has a player option for next season, but would like a multiyear extension. Pandolfo said he is willing to sign before July 1 if the Devils' offer is right.

Nausea and Vomiting in Infants and Children
Patient Education
- Symptoms in Infants and Children
- Colic
- Constipation in Children
- Cough in Children
- Crying
- Diarrhea in Children
- Fever in Infants and Children
Nausea and Vomiting in Infants and Children
- Rash in Infants and Young Children
- Separation and Stranger Anxiety
Nausea is the sensation of impending emesis and is frequently accompanied by autonomic changes, such as increased heart rate and salivation. Nausea and vomiting typically occur in sequence; however, they can occur separately (eg, vomiting can occur without preceding nausea as a result of increased intracranial pressure).
Vomiting is uncomfortable and can cause dehydration because fluid is lost and because the ability to rehydrate by drinking is limited.
Vomiting is the final part of a sequence of events coordinated by the emetic center located in the medulla. The emetic center can be activated by afferent neural pathways from digestive (eg, pharynx, stomach, small bowel) and nondigestive (eg, heart, testes) organs, the chemoreceptor trigger zone located in the area postrema on the floor of the 4th ventricle (containing dopamine and serotonin receptors), and other CNS centers (eg, brain stem, vestibular system).
The causes of vomiting vary with age and range from relatively benign to potentially life threatening (see Some Causes of Vomiting in Infants, Children, and Adolescents). Vomiting is a protective mechanism that provides a means to expel potential toxins; however, it can also indicate serious disease (eg, intestinal obstruction). Bilious vomiting indicates a high intestinal obstruction and, especially in an infant, requires immediate evaluation.
Infants normally spit up small amounts (usually < 5 to 10 mL) during or soon after feedings, often when being burped. Rapid feeding, air swallowing, and overfeeding may be causes, although spitting up occurs even without these factors. Occasional vomiting may also be normal, but repeated vomiting is abnormal.
The most common causes of vomiting in infants and neonates include the following:
Other important causes in infants and neonates include the following:
Less common causes of recurrent vomiting include sepsis and food intolerance. Metabolic disorders (eg, urea cycle disorders, organic acidemias) are uncommon but can manifest with vomiting.
Older children
The most common cause is
Non-GI infections may cause a few episodes of vomiting. Other causes to consider include serious infection (eg, meningitis, pyelonephritis), acute abdomen (eg, appendicitis), increased intracranial pressure secondary to a space-occupying lesion (eg, caused by trauma or tumor), and cyclic vomiting.
In adolescents, causes of vomiting also include pregnancy, eating disorders, and toxic ingestions.
Some Causes of Vomiting in Infants, Children, and Adolescents
Evaluation includes assessment of severity (eg, presence of dehydration, surgical or other life-threatening disorder) and diagnosis of cause.
History of present illness should determine when vomiting episodes started, frequency, and character of episodes (particularly whether vomiting is projectile, bilious, or small in amount and more consistent with spitting up). Any pattern to the vomiting (eg, after feeding, only with certain foods, primarily in the morning or in recurrent cyclic episodes) should be established. Important associated symptoms include diarrhea (with or without blood), fever, anorexia, and abdominal pain, distention, or both. Stool frequency and consistency and urinary output should be noted.
Review of systems should seek symptoms of causative disorders, including weakness, poor suck, and failure to thrive (metabolic disorders); delay in passage of meconium, abdominal distention, and lethargy (intestinal obstruction); headache, nuchal rigidity, and vision changes (intracranial disorders); food bingeing or signs of distorted body image (eating disorders); missed periods and breast swelling (pregnancy); rashes (eczema or urticaria in food allergies, petechiae in sepsis or meningitis); ear pain or sore throat (focal non-GI infection); and fever with headache, neck or back pain, or abdominal pain (meningitis, pyelonephritis, or appendicitis).
Past medical history should note history of travel (possible infectious gastroenteritis), any recent head trauma, and unprotected sex (pregnancy).
Physical examination
Vital signs are reviewed for indicators of infection (eg, fever) and volume depletion (eg, tachycardia, hypotension).
During the general examination, signs of distress (eg, lethargy, irritability, inconsolable crying) and signs of weight loss (cachexia) or gain are noted.
Because the abdominal examination may cause discomfort, the physical examination should begin with the head. The head and neck examination should focus on signs of infection (eg, red, bulging tympanic membrane; bulging anterior fontanelle; erythematous tonsils) and dehydration (eg, dry mucous membranes, lack of tears). The neck should be passively flexed to detect resistance or discomfort, suggesting meningeal irritation.
Cardiac examination should note presence of tachycardia (eg, dehydration, fever, distress). Abdominal examination should note distention; presence and quality of bowel sounds (eg, high-pitched, normal, absent); tenderness and any associated guarding, rigidity, or rebound (peritoneal signs); and presence of organomegaly or mass.
The skin and extremities are examined for petechiae or purpura (severe infection) or other rashes (possible viral infection or signs of atopy), jaundice (possible metabolic disorder), and signs of dehydration (eg, poor skin turgor, delayed capillary refill).
Growth parameters and signs of developmental progress should be noted.
Red flags
The following findings are of particular concern:
Interpretation of findings
Initial findings help determine severity of diagnosis and need for immediate intervention.
Any neonate or infant with recurrent or bilious (yellow or green) emesis or projectile vomiting most likely has a GI obstruction and probably requires surgical intervention.
An infant or young child with colicky abdominal pain, signs of intermittent pain or listlessness, and absent or bloody stools needs to be evaluated for an intussusception.
A child or adolescent with fever, nuchal rigidity, and photophobia should be evaluated for meningitis.
A child or adolescent with fever and abdominal pain followed by vomiting, anorexia, and decreased bowel sounds should be evaluated for appendicitis.
Recent history of head trauma or chronic progressive headaches with morning vomiting and vision changes indicate intracranial hypertension.
Other findings can be interpreted primarily depending on age (see Some Causes of Vomiting in Infants, Children, and Adolescents).
In infants, irritability, choking, and respiratory signs (eg, stridor) may be manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux. A history of poor development or neurologic manifestations suggests a CNS or metabolic disorder. Delayed passage of meconium, later onset of vomiting, or both may indicate Hirschsprung disease or intestinal stenosis.
In children and adolescents, fever suggests infection; the combination of vomiting and diarrhea suggests acute gastroenteritis. Lesions on fingers and erosion of tooth enamel or an adolescent unconcerned about weight loss or with distorted body image suggests an eating disorder. Morning nausea and vomiting, amenorrhea, and possibly weight gain suggest pregnancy. Vomiting that has occurred in the past and is episodic, short-lived, and has no other accompanying symptoms suggests cyclic vomiting.
Testing should be directed by suspected causative disorders (see Some Causes of Vomiting in Infants, Children, and Adolescents). Imaging studies are typically done to evaluate abdominal or CNS pathology. Various specific blood tests or cultures are done to diagnose inherited metabolic disorders or serious infection.
If dehydration is suspected, serum electrolytes should be measured.
Treatment is targeted at the causative disorder. Rehydration is important (see Dehydration in Children : Treatment).
Drugs frequently used in adults to decrease nausea and vomiting are used less often in children because the usefulness of treatment has not been proved and because these drugs have potential risks of adverse effects and of masking an underlying condition. However, if nausea or vomiting is severe or unremitting, antiemetic drugs can be used cautiously in children > 2 yr. Useful drugs include
Promethazine: For children > 2 yr, 0.25 to 1 mg/kg (maximum 25 mg) po, IM, IV, or rectally q 4 to 6 h
Prochlorperazine: For children > 2 yr and weighing 9 to 13 kg, 2.5 mg po q 12 to 24 h; for those 13 to 18 kg, 2.5 mg po q 8 to 12 h; for those 18 to 39 kg, 2.5 mg po q 8 h; for those > 39 kg, 5 to 10 mg po q 6 to 8 h
Metoclopramide: 0.1 mg/kg po or IV q 6 h (maximum 10 mg/dose)
Ondansetron: 0.15 mg/kg (maximum 8 mg) IV q 8 h or, if the oral form is used, for children 2 to 4 yr, 2 mg q 8 h; for those 4 to 11 yr, 4 mg q 8 h; for those ≥ 12 yr, 8 mg q 8 h
Promethazine is an H1 receptor blocker (antihistamine) that inhibits the emetic center response to peripheral stimulants. The most common adverse effect is respiratory depression and sedation; the drug is contraindicated in children < 2 yr. Therapeutic doses of promethazine can cause extrapyramidal adverse effects, including torticollis.
Prochlorperazine is a weak dopamine receptor blocker that depresses the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Akathisia and dystonia are the most common adverse effects, occurring in up to 44% of patients.
Metoclopramide is a dopamine receptor antagonist that acts both centrally and peripherally by increasing gastric motility and decreasing afferent impulses to the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Akathisia and dystonia occur in up to 25% of children.
Ondansetron is a selective serotonin (5-HT3) receptor blocker that inhibits the initiation of the vomiting reflex in the periphery. A single dose of ondansetron is safe and effective in children who have acute gastroenteritis and do not respond to oral rehydration therapy (ORT). By facilitating ORT, this drug may prevent the need for IV fluids or, in children given IV fluids, may help prevent hospitalization. Typically, only a single dose is used because repeated doses can cause persistent diarrhea.

Well, that wasn't so painful now, was it? Wall Street, like a frightened child about to get its thumb pricked at the doctor's office, spent the first two weeks of December making a scene and worrying about this week's Federal Reserve meeting. But when all was said and done, and Nurse Bernanke had gently administered the needle, Baby Wall Street opened its eyes and beamed with joy -- it wasn't so bad after all!
In fact, investors applauded the move to taper monthly Fed asset purchases from $85 billion to $75 billion, as the stock market ended at record highs today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) for instance, rocketed 292 points higher, or 1.8%, to end at 16,167.
Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS ) stock certainly helped the Dow rise on its historic day today, adding 2.2%. It's not surprising investors were piling into Disney: The entertainment giant is feeling vindicated after Hulu, the online video streaming service partly owned by Disney, said sales jumped more than 40% and will top $1 billion in 2013. The three companies behind Hulu -- Disney, Comcast, and Twenty-First Century Fox -- flirted with the idea of selling the site earlier this year. Disney is also behind two of the top five films out as of late Tuesday: Frozen, and Thor: The Dark World. But Disney doesn't stop there. I'm told it also owns some theme parks and the rights to a movie franchise called Star Wars. Maybe you've heard of it?
Like the rest of the market, Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL ) shareholders were glued to the TV, watching Bernanke give his last public address as Fed chairman. If anyone was wondering how Wall Street thought the tapering measures would affect Lumber Liquidators' business, there's no need to poll Wall Street insiders. The stock roared almost 5% higher in the last two hours of trading, ending with 6.1% gains on the day. Lumber Liquidators, a hardwood-flooring retailer, is a textbook example of a company that should benefit in a low-rate, real estate-friendly environment like today's. The Fed's vow to keep the target rate low this afternoon underscores the reason investors were happy to get behind a company like this today.
Last but not least, CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS ) stock gained 4.3% Wednesday after dropping some financial bombshells on the public at the drugstore's New York City Analyst Day. These were lucrative bombshells, of course. The kind you would want dropped indiscriminately all over your portfolio until the end of time. CVS Caremark issued earnings guidance in line with estimates for fiscal 2014, while also boosting its quarterly dividend by 22% and approving a $6 billion share repurchase agreement. Investors don't need Ivy League analysts to tell them that today's announcement was a boon for the stock's prospects. Concerns over Obamacare's weak rollout -- caused largely by the botched healthcare.gov website -- have hung over the entire health care sector recently, so it was nice to hear CVS won't see a huge impact from the snafu.

I'm a 40D so I wear a bra outside the home and when exercising. Around the house (at home with child for now) I'll usually not put one on until late morning when I running around doing household chores. Just sitting on the couch though I let them go free. Mine didn't get big until I started to gain weight in my mid-20's. I was a small B cup and that was absolutely lovely. Bra or no bra it was just great. Now there is no way I would leave the house without some sort of major support going on. No wire bras though, hate those torture devices. My hubby loves them bigger too, so I'm not sure I would want to be a B cup again, but a C would be perfect for me.
Having said that, I do yoga before bed braless in my jamas. Have to remember to not jump into the postures though lol. And yes my husband does enjoy watching me, I have a white jama top and have been known to joke that maybe I should pour a glass of water over myself lol. I like to change into my night clothes for the evening because the heavy duty underwiring does get a bit annoying by the end of the day.
Mine do sag but that's inevitable for someone who was naturally large breasted and then gained a large amount of weight very rapidly, and has the type of skin that forms stretchmarks rather than being elastic. Unavoidable really.

I'm a very small person and also pretty much flat chested (I wear a 28B or C, that is the same volume as a 32AA or A) but they are sensitive. It's much, much more comfortable to wear a (well-fitting) bra if I am going to be anything but sitting around, for many reasons. I know of what I speak because I was bra-free or nearly so for the first 10 years of having boobs, out of sheer stubborness. I also find it more flattering in clothes.

Park leads U.S. Women's Open after 3 rounds
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. -- Inbee Park is one round from making history by winning the first three majors of the year.
The top-ranked Park had a four-stroke lead through three rounds at the U.S. Women's Open. She shot 1-under 71 Saturday in harsh conditions at Sebonack and was 10 under for the tournament.
Fellow South Korean I.K. Kim had a 73 to remain in second but lost two strokes to Park. With the wind whipping, the greens fast and the pin placements tricky, Park was the only player to shoot under par for the round.
No one has ever won the first three majors in a year when there were at least four.
"I'm just going to try to do the same thing that I did for the last three days," Park said. "Yeah, it will be a big day. But it's just a round of golf, and I just try not to think about it so much."
Park made three straight bogeys on the 11th, 12th and 13th holes to briefly look vulnerable -- though she still led by three strokes. Just in time, her brilliant putting resurfaced.
She holed a long downhill birdie putt on No. 14, then made another lengthy birdie try on the 15th.
It looked as though nobody would break par for the day until she birdied No. 18.
England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff (74) was third at 3 under.
Jessica Korda fired her caddie after the ninth hole.
The 20-year-old American replaced Jason Gilroyed with her boyfriend, Johnny DelPrete. Korda says she and Gilroyed had several disagreements.
She says she needed to just start having fun, and the switch seemed to work: After shooting 5 over on the front nine, Korda was 1 under the rest of the way. She finished with a 76 and was tied for sixth at 1 over, 11 strokes behind leader Inbee Park.

WASHINGTON - An amendment from Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) would expand the types of religious groups exempted from a proposed ban on workplace discrimination against gays, lesbians, and transgendered people.
His plan would also strengthen the language shielding religious employers from the antibias bill, which Toomey supported Monday night, with reservations.
As part of the wrangling over Toomey's support for a key procedural vote, he won assurances that he will be able to offer his amendment before the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) comes up for final Senate approval later this week. His plan faces a high hurdle to passage. He will need 60 votes.

I can't for the life of me see why showing photo ID is a burden on the poor.
I have an acquaintance with "the poor" in various capacities and note that they can get to free food and clothing, cell phones and Bluetooth technology, malls and yard sales, .you name it. So why can't they get to the photo center?
Please demonstrate to me why a photo ID is such a burden.
I don't want to deny any legitimate citizen a vote or any other guaranteed "right".
But I do resent the thugs who intimidate voters in large cities, and marvel at the multitude who have the right and the means but neglect to vote!
And yes, there is voter fraud many places as demonstrated in one district in Philadelphia recently, to name one example!

Jhalakathi: Guava growers in the district are being deprived of fair price of their produce due to communication problem.
Sources concerned said for the development of the communication system in the district, especially the part covering the guava growing areas, Jica (Japan International Cooperation Agency) started implementing a project one year ago. Then guava growers hoped that they would be able to earn good profit by sending their produce to different districts, including Dhaka using the roadways, after the implementation of the project financed by Japan.
However, construction work of the two kilometre road from Bawkathi to Bhimruli, main floating market of guava, and four bridges has remained stuck halfway, hampering the road communication between guava growing regions and other parts of the country.
The expenditure of the construction work project was fixed at Tk five crore.
Guava growers said due to communication hindrance, they are being deprived of getting fair price of their produce.
They said guava is grown in the orchards at 36 villages in Sadar upazila and Sharupkathi upazila.
Farmers of the villages cultivate guava as the main cash crop.
Guava grower Niranchan Ghorami at Jhagadishpur in Sadar upazila said this year buds have fallen off guava trees due to prolonged dry spell in first phase during Chaitra-Baishak period.
He, however, said they have got good yield as guava trees flowered profusely in second phase.
Some traders said demand for guava is high as some food companies like Pran Food Products Company are purchasing the item from the floating market of the popular fruit.
Guava sells at throwaway prices on the day when the representatives of the companies do not come to buy the fruit.
The fruit is being sold at different small markets at Athghar, Kuriana, Bhimruli, Ata, Jamua, Shatdashkathi and Jhagadishpur of the fruit growing region.
The biggest floating market of guava in the region is located at Bhimruli where growers from different villages bring guava to sell.
Nirmal Bepary who came to the market to sell guava said he has guava orchard covering three bighas of lands.
He said they are not happy with the market price of guava.
Samresh Halder who cultivates the fruit on his two bighas of land said they are not getting fair price of their produce due to lack of bridges on the road connecting with Bhimruli market.
Wholesaler Nurul Amin who came from Bhola to buy the fruit at the market said with the start of guava season, he comes to the market every year to buy the fruit.
Asked about the fruit price, he said guave is being sold for Tk80-400 per maund.
Deputy director of Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) office in Jhalakathi Abdul Aziz Farazi said growers have got good yield of guava this year, adding that the quality of harvested fruit is also good.
He, however, said growers are not getting fair price of their produce as the road construction project is yet to be completed.
He also suggested setting up fruit processing factory in the region to ensure fair price of guava.

Norma Jean
Share This
"Pretty Miss
Norma Jean
" may be best remembered as
Porter Wagoner
's stage partner before he was paired with
Dolly Parton
, but she was also well known for an often hard-edged group of songs that spoke of poverty, hard work, and the instability of romantic relationships. Although she didn't have the songwriting creativity of
Loretta Lynn
Dolly Parton
, she was comparable to those stars in her general outlook.
Norma Jean Beasler
was no stranger to poverty herself, born into a hard-working farm family near Wellston, OK. As a child, she wanted to be a country star like
Kitty Wells
, whom she tried to emulate. She made her professional debut singing "If Teardrops Were Pennies" at age 12 on the radio in Oklahoma City. In high school, she toured with a few Western swing bands, including those of
Billy Gray
and Merle Lindsay.
Her big break came in 1958 when she became a cast member of the Springfield, MO-based ABC-TV show Ozark Jubilee, where
Red Foley
suggested shortening her name to "
Norma Jean
." She recorded briefly for Columbia and then moved to Nashville in 1960, becoming a backup vocalist for
Porter Wagoner
's touring and television shows. She had met
on the Jubilee, and her new level of exposure led to a contract with RCA Victor. She had her first chart single, "Let's Go All the Way," in 1964; the song made the Top 15 and was followed by the Top 25 hit "I'm a Walkin' Advertisement (For the Blues)." That year she had her first Top Ten single, "Go Cat Go," which stayed on the country charts for four months and became a minor pop hit as well. Her chart success continued through the mid-'60s with songs such as "I Wouldn't Buy a Used Car From Him" and the innovative love-triangle trio "The Game of Triangles" (1965), which also featured
Bobby Bare
Liz Anderson
On television,
Norma Jean
presented a wholesome image at odds with her hurtin' and cheatin' songs, yet in her personal life both those themes were relevant. Around the mid-'60s, she became romantically involved with her mentor
, who was separated from his wife at the time. The affair led her to leave
's organization, but she continued to appear on the Grand Ole Opry (between 1965 and 1969) and recorded more singles for RCA. In 1967 she had two Top 30 hits, "Don't Let That Doorknob Hit You" and "Heaven Help the Working Girl," an early feminist song. In the late '60s,
Norma Jean
returned to Oklahoma after marrying Jody Taylor; she had her last chart hit in 1971 with "The Kind of Needin' I Need." The 1972 album
I Guess That Comes From Being Poor
In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)
and bore comparison with that masterwork. In later years
Norma Jean
struggled with alcoholism and announced a new commitment to Christianity. She continued to tour and to record occasionally on independent labels, and in 1982, she and
Claude Gray
teamed for a minor hit with a remake of "Let's Go All the Way."

Leading up to the NFL draft, we got a nice little taste of football with the Wisconsin Badgers' five-week spring practice session, culminating in the spring game on April 20.
Because the spring game was televised, head coach Gary Andersen didn't want to tip his hand to opposing coaches, so we didn't get a good look at the changes he's made on the football field at Wisconsin.
Come the end of August, there will be no hiding it—the Badgers will look like a much different football team, on defense with the 3-4 formation and offense with some read option.
With spring practice in the books, it's time for Andersen to assess what he saw in the past five weeks and for us to determine his five biggest concerns.

Steven Wright is not a man possessed by possessions. A casual inventory reveals that he owns one guitar, three rocking chairs, one painting and two suits, though he is not sure of the suits' whereabouts. His Manhattan apartment is occupied by little more than oxygen. In one room, the only signs of possible habitation are the picture hooks left behind by a former tenant. Every few days Wright redecorates by moving his painting—a portrait of a little girl in an empty room—from one hook to another. "Open space is very comforting to me," he says. "Plus I can move in a cab."
Wright's uncluttered modus vivendi seems fitting for an artist whose most valuable asset is his imagination. At 33, he makes his living by making up things that make people laugh. For the past nine years he has traveled across the country—often dropping in on Johnny Carson and David Letterman—introducing audiences to his tilted perceptions of the planet earth. Or as Wright puts it, "seeing the world through the eyes of a child and getting to use the words of an adult."
Now the comedian has taken one step beyond his stand-up act with The Appointments of Dennis Jennings. The 30-minute film, which premieres on HBO this week, has been nominated for an Oscar in the short live-action category. Wright stars with Roseanne's Laurie Metcalf and British comedian Rowan Atkinson in a plot that pivots on a paranoid waiter's sessions with his shrink.
Wright's humor fuses the abstract with the absurd. Who else would have written jokes like, "I kept a diary right after I was born, Day 1: Tired from the move. Day 2: Everyone thinks I'm an idiot." Or this, "I spilled spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone." Or, "I went to a place to eat. It said, BREAKFAST ANYTIME, SO I ordered French toast during the Renaissance."
"He's a complete original," says television writer Mike Armstrong, a friend for 10 years. "With Steve, we're pretty sure there's no one else in the entire world who thinks like he does." Onstage, Wright delivers his observations in an adenoidal monotone, his facial expressions somewhere between catatonic and comatose. Offstage, he is every bit as animated. At noon, he looks like he's been jerked awake from a rough night on a dorm couch. His shirt is a riot of wrinkles, his pants are clearly an afterthought, even his hair looks confused. But beneath the packaging lurks a creative talent as lively as a firecracker.
Go ahead. Ask him if he ever wore pj's with plastic feet. "Yes," he says. "But I only wore the feet." Pause. "My mother bought them at a surrealistic pajama store." Ask if there's a woman in his life and he observes, "I'm seeing three women, Triplets. They are all 27 and blond. I like one better than the others, but I can never remember which one it is." But don't try to get personal by inquiring about the contents of his refrigerator. "I never discuss my refrigerator," he says. "There are many things there. Some are for eating purposes."
Comedy was as much a part of Wright's boyhood as baseball and minibikes. He remembers fondly his adolescent years, when on Sunday nights, while the rest of his family slept, little Steven would climb into his bunk bed with a tinny transistor radio and tune into a midnight review of comedy albums by Jonathan Winters, Bob Newhart and Woody Allen. At age 14, Wright dreamed that one day he too could make an audience laugh, "It was my secret," he says. "I was afraid if I told anyone, I would jinx it."
One of four children, Wright was raised in Burlington, Mass., where his father is a truck driver. "Childhood was very nice," says Steven. "The only thing wrong was that I was so introverted, everything became a big deal.... 'Oh, no, here comes the bus. Where am I gonna sit on the bus?' " In the seventh grade he was amusing a few friends with his inventive way with words. "I liked to think of strange combinations," he says, "like 'flocks of false teeth' or 'a herd of clothespins,' which I thought was just hilarious."
Wright graduated from Boston's Emerson College with no clear focus on his future. He shoveled snow off rooftops in Aspen, Colo., parked cars in Las Vegas and painted dormitories at Emerson while still harboring the same dream. "I finally had to confront it," he says. "I didn't want to be selling insurance at 40, wondering what would it have been like to do stand-up.' "
He found out at 23, during Open Mike Night at Boston's Comedy Connection. His first joke: "I was in a bookstore, and I started talking to a French-looking girl. She was a bilingual illiterate. She couldn't read in two different languages." Says Wright: "I was scared out of my mind and just said this stuff that I had memorized in my apartment. I didn't even wait for them to laugh." But when they did, "What an amaaaaazing rush! I was finally doing this thing that I had been thinking about since I was 14, and someday, I thought, maybe The Tonight Show."
Or, to be precise, Aug. 6, 1982, Wright was so unprepared for Johnny's invitation that he had to borrow a decent pair of pants. The next week, when a man asked for his autograph at the Los Angeles airport, the pleasantly shocked comedian asked the fan for his in return.
Appearances with Carson begot appearances on Letterman, Saturday Night Live and HBO specials. In between there were so many dates at college campuses, comedy clubs and arenas across America that Wright's address seemed to be a blur of anonymous hotels. "Traveling was incredibly exciting the first year," he says. "The third year, it was more like, 'What am I doing here? I'm in Seattle.' "
His terror of planes, cars, motorcycles, elevators, tunnels and bridges made appearing in as many as 95 cities a year all the more stressful, but Wright's grueling itinerary has never dampened the exhilaration that comes from working with a live audience. "Doing stand-up is like running across a frozen pond with the ice breaking behind you," he says. "I love it because it's dangerous."
When Wright is not working, he spends his day in a normal way, noodling with his guitar or walking around the city, stopping at museums and movies, sometimes with friends. "I'm not even close to being married," says Steven, "so I guess I'll have to keep seeing the triplets."
He spends several nights a week collaborating on script ideas with Armstrong, who co-wrote Dennis Jennings. Writing a screenplay doesn't come as easily as writing lines like "hermits have no peer pressure," but, says Steven, "film is a whole new way for me to present my perspective." He has been developing fresh material ("Yesterday I went out and bought a decaffeinated coffee table") in preparation for an appearance on HBO's upcoming Comic Relief III and a five-week tour starting later this month. And sometime in the future, Wright would like to have children. Not just because he's nutty about them but also, he says, "because I don't know how much longer I can keep writing this stuff myself."

An LSU chemistry professor has received $3.6 million for a Superfund Research Center to study the health effects of tiny particles left after toxic waste is burned.
Professor Barry Dellinger said the grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will support work in Baton Rouge and at the LSU medical schools in New Orleans and Shreveport.
Most hazardous waste once was incinerated. But Dellinger said burning leaves lots of tiny particles. The new center will study those.
Special projects will look at nanoparticles, and at whether many pollutants exist as incomplete molecules called environmentally persistent free radicals that attach to fine particles.
Researchers will work with communities near incinerators and people affected by them.

HAMPTON — The Butler family will host their second annual 5K race on Sunday, Oct. 5, to fund Terry "T-bone" Butler memorial scholarships. The race starts in the borough park.
Butler was one of nine children of the late John W. "Jack" Butler and Helen Mooney Butler. He was a 1974 graduate of North Hunterdon Regional High School, later earning a degree in sports management. He was the arena director at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the University of South Alabama, and for his last 11 years at the University of Rhode Island's Ryan Center. He died in February 2011 after a battle with cancer.
In his memory, the Butler family awards an annual scholarship to a graduate of the University of R.I. who has also worked at either the Ryan Center or Boss Ice Arena; and to a North Hunterdon and a Voorhees High School graduate.
The race course begins in the borough park, goes along Valley Road and returns to the park. The road will be closed to vehicular traffic during the race. Late registration and packet pickup is at 8:30 a.m. and race time is 11 a.m. — after the local churches let out. The race will be chip-timed with real-time results by SpectaSport.
The entry fee is $25 in advance (visit TerryButler5K.com to sign up) or $30 on race day. The first 100 entrants will receive a free T-shirt, and the top male and female finishers will each receive a T-bone steak.

Objective: To examine the cross-grade stability of clinically elevated teacher ratings of inattentive symptoms in 3 samples of elementary schoolchildren.
Participants and Methods: Samples 1 and 2 included 27 first graders and 24 fourth graders, respectively, identified based on clinically elevated teacher ratings of inattentive symptoms. The third sample included 28 children in grades 1 to 4 from the Multimodal Treatment Study of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Study) with a confirmed attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis. Teacher ratings of inattentive symptoms were completed an average of 12 to 14 months apart so that cross-grade stability of elevated ratings could be computed for each sample.
Results: In all 3 samples, clinically elevated ratings persisted for less than 50% of children and between 25% and 50% had ratings that declined to within the normative range. The decline in attention difficulties was not related to hyperactivity, oppositional behavior, or anxiety at baseline, nor was it explained by children beginning medication treatment.
Conclusions: Many elementary-aged children rated by their teachers as highly inattentive are not considered to demonstrate these problems the following year, even children with a confirmed attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis. The instability in clinically elevated teacher ratings found across 3 independent samples highlights the importance of annual reevaluations to avoid treating children for problems that may no longer be present.

EAST LANSING — Michigan State receivers coach Terrence Samuel is the first to admit it has been an up and down season for his players.
"Any time your'e dealing with 18 and 19 year olds, you never know what you're going to get,'' said Samuel, who's in his second season coaching the Spartans receiving corps after joining the staff from Central Michigan. "But these guys have been very focused.''
Michigan State (5-6, 2-5 Big Ten) needs all hands on deck at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday when its faces Minnesota (6-5, 2-5) with a bowl berth on the line.
The Spartans are projected to play in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., on Dec. 29 against Oklahoma State with a victory over the Golden Gophers.
Michigan State's receivers let down their coach and their quarterback in the Spartans' loss to Northwestern last Saturday with five dropped passes and not much yardage after their catches.
Samuel isn't taking it easy on them, and looks forward to an offseason where they will be challenged more in practices.
"What you were seeing is they were getting hit a lot on the catch,'' Samuel said. "That's rough. For us, it's a matter of knowing we're going to het hit, knowing the angle we're gonna get hit, and extending the hands on the catch. Changing the catch point, as we talk about.
"There's a toughness factor that needs to come into play. I'm not one of those guys that shy away from being held in practice. You can throw away the flags as far as I'm concerned. As long as they learn to catch the ball in pressure situations.''
Samuel said he sees progress being made.
"They are starting to see the ball, see the angles and how those balls are going to drop in there, and feel the DBs,'' he said. "As a coach, you bring them to the water, you can't make them drink. I want them to make more plays, but these guys are coming along well.''
Among those making progress is explosive sophomore DeAnthony Arnett, a transfer from Tennessee.
"There's always going to be a physical component to playing at this level,'' Samuel said. "He's just seeing we ask our guys to be very, very physical.
"The kid can play; he can run, he can jump, he can do everything. We just need him to be more physical in the blocking.''

DALLAS (AP) - Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is now the sixth-busiest airport in the world, slipping a notch after last year's post-Sept. 11 drop in passengers traffic.
The airport, which had ranked fifth-busiest in passenger traffic in 2000, suffered a 9.2 percent shortfall of about 5.5 million passengers. It was the largest percentage decline among the top 10 airports and the fifth-largest among the top 30.
The new figures, released Friday, show DFW Airport and Tokyo switching places in the rankings for passenger traffic.
DFW retained its third-place ranking for aircraft takeoffs and landings on the ACI list. Chicago was No. 1, and Atlanta was No. 2. DFW ranked 21st among the world's airports for total cargo.

Influenced by the Surrealists, Davie would make prints by sandwiching ink between a pane of glass and a sheet of paper, and scratching the paper with his fingers. The image only became visible once the sheet was lifted. Davie was enthusiastic about this chance element, writing: 'I have discovered so much and developed so rapidly ¿ My work is something very strange'. His poetic titles relate this strange imagery to the natural world.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Nearly 90,000 Time Warner Cable customers in central Maine are part of a pilot program that will eventually be spreading to cable markets across the country.
Starting in October customers from 105 communities including: Waterville, Fairfield, Lewiston/Auburn, Norway, Oxford, North Anson, Camden, and Rockland will need to use an adaptor for any televisions that do not have a digital cable box.
The device converts a digital signal back to analog TV's that are just getting a basic or classic line-up. For the pilot program the devices will be free, but beginning in January 2014 all Time Warner Cable customers will need to pay 99 cents per device each month. And that's for every TV without a digital box.
Time Warner Cable's spokesman -- Andrew Russell says that this is a trend in all communication companies. "This is happening across our industry," Russell says. "It allows us to offer more digital and HD. Overall the customer experience is better."
Russell added, "if you are a basic customer now, you're going to be able to continue your basic service, you're just going to need this adaptor in order to get it because your signal will be coming to your house in a digital format. We're not upgrading you to full digital cable unless you want to."
The new adaptor will also give customers an additional 14 new channels including, Travel, SPEED, Oxygen, TruTV, and CMT.
If you have questions concerning how this change may effect you, you can go to their website, Time Warner Cable Or call 1-855-892-3444.

The rates of target dispensing errors and potential ADEs substantially decreased after the implementation of bar code technology: The target dispensing error rate decreased by 85%, and the rate of all dispensing-related potential ADEs decreased by more than 60%. Given these magnitudes in error reduction, bar code technology in the pharmacy compares favorably with other patient safety interventions, such as computerized physician order entry (17–18) and pharmacist participation in intensive care unit rounds (19–20). Moreover, these reductions in error rates are important clinically, given the high volume of medications dispensed from hospital pharmacies. Although nurses typically intercept one third of these dispensing errors before administration of the erroneous medications to patients, these error reductions translate into a substantial reduction in potential harm to patients.

What is deposition?
When agents of erosion drop the sediments they are carrying as they lose energy. (When sediments are eroded - they are NOT lost from Earth, just relocated!)
What is the difference in a rock fall & a rock slide?
Rock fall is when blocks of rock break loose from a steep slope & tumble through the air.
Rock slide is when layers of rock slip downslope suddenly
What are the 3 forms of glacial deposition?
MORAINE - A big ridge of material that piles up that looks like it's been pushed by a bulldozer.
OUTWASH - Material deposited by the meltwater from a glacier (usually at the end of the glacier).
ESKERS - Looks like a long winding ridge, forms in a melting glacier when meltwater forms a river within the ice.

This announcement marks the completion of collaborative project coordinated by the Thomas J. Watson Library at The Metropolitan Museum of Art to preserve and digitize the early exhibition catalogs of Knoedler & Company, a renowned art gallery in New York.
Knoedler & Company
Knoedler & Company was established in 1857 and has been among the most important art dealers in New York City for a century and a half. Following the pattern of Watson Library's successful collaboration with the Frick Art Reference Library on the Macbeth Gallery project, we worked with Knoedler & Company and the Arcade libraries (Frick Art Reference Library, Brooklyn Museum Libraries and Archives, and the Museum of Modern Art Library) to identify Knoedler exhibition catalogs, pamphlets, and checklists in our collections to create a series that is as complete as possible.
In total, we digitized 898 catalogs, checklists, and unpublished materials from the Watson, Arcade, and Knoedler collections, comprising approximately 14,000 pages of content created between 1869 and 1946. Many items include extensive handwritten annotations; in several cases, more than one copy of a particular catalog was digitized to capture these unique additions.
Access to these items is available through the libraries' respective online catalogs, Watsonline and Arcade, as well as the OCLC library cooperative catalog, WorldCat. The catalogs' contents are full-text searchable in Watson Library's digital content management system, CONTENTdm.

About the Watson Library Digitization Initiative
The primary mission of the Watson Library Digitization Initiative is to expand access to the Library's rare and unique materials by developing, supporting, and promoting a distinctive digital collection of these items. The initiative targets materials that fall outside parameters of other major digitization efforts such as Google Books or the Internet Archive and makes them accessible to support the scholarly research of the Museum staff and an international community of researchers. Digitization also addresses many of our physical preservation concerns for rare and fragile materials. These benefits have been extended to other Museum departments with research collections suitable for digitization.
We again employed Northern Micrographics, located in Wisconsin, to digitize the majority of the Knoedler materials. Some material was digitized by the library using our Zeutschel scanner. Watson Library continues to concentrate on the digitization of selected rare and fragile items, in addition to the physical repair and rehousing of materials. Digitization is an excellent preservation tool, protecting the original item from damage through repeated use, and it allows the greatest possible access to its contents.

"If the biographies of The Season's members are like road movie, the very same project is their safe haven. Rouanet & Stumpf were working on their project Duplex 100, running the famous "Minimal Dancin"-nights at the Nouveau Casino in Paris, when they decided to start another band to act as a counterbalance to the very digital, dancefloor-serving material they were doing at the time. Their aim: no boundaries. The core: beautiful music. James Sindatry joined them. Sam's father did some features. While living in Chicago, Sam had played in AUFM (Alien Unknown Funk Mob) and had met Rob Mazurek, who was more than happy contribute as well. Recorded over innumerous sessions, "Undone" finally got done earlier this year. Merging beautiful acoustic instruments with high tech electronics, "Undone" makes the individual talents of musicians shimmer, the chords vibrating, the beats earthshaking." (label info)
