Lady Gaga wants to make something clear: She and boyfriend Taylor Kinney aren't as different as people think.
The "Do What U Want" singer, 27, called her buff-bodied hottie a "hidden weirdo" during an appearance Friday on Ellen. "He is extremely strange, actually. We complement each other's weirdness. That's actually one of the first things he ever said to me. It's a Dr. Seuss quote. You find in someone else a compatible weirdness."
Gaga, who met the Chicago Fire star on the set of her "You and I" video in 2011, said she "looked ridiculously crazy" during their first encounter.
"I've got these pins sticking out of my head and I'm wearing cork and I've got no hair and I'm bald," she recalls of that fateful day. "I mean, why he found me attractive just completely behooves me. We were in the middle of this scene and I remember that he kissed me and it wasn't scripted for him to kiss me. I was sort of like, 'Uh, you know, was that real or was that fake?' And he just didn't really say anything, and that was fine by me and we just kept filming."
The pop star – who said in 2011 that she has "the inability to know what happiness feels like with a man" – covered her face in embarrassment when a particular photo popped up. Naturally, she couldn't look away for long.
"Oh, you had to show a shirtless picture," she said. "Geez. I mean I don't blame you, but – Hi, darling."
Gaga, who calls Kinney, 32, her "best friend," says, "Having your lover be your best friend is the best thing ever. We're boys. I wear his flannels and we eat pizza and watch TV. And then I play him my next single. He likes it, and that's our normal life."

Denouement and Discussion
Benign Neonatal Hemangiomatosis
Benign neonatal hemangiomatosis (BNH) consists of multiple, small, bright-red to purple, capillary hemangiomas that range in size from that of a pinhead to 20 mm in diameter. Only the skin is affected; there is no mucous membrane or visceral involvement. The hemangiomas usually are present at birth or appear during the first few weeks of life. They rapidly increase in size and number until approximately 3 weeks of age, at which time they begin to spontaneously regress. Involution is usually complete by the fourth month of life.The more common type of hemangiomas, such as strawberry hemangiomas, are easily differentiated from BNH. They are not as numerous and first appear as a white or reddish spot, a telangiectatic lesion surrounded by a pale halo, or a fully developed hemangioma. The hemangiomas

Changing Climate May Substantially Alter Maple Syrup Production
U.S. Forest Service research indicates that climate change will affect habitat suitability for maple trees, threatening the multimillion dollar maple syrup industry. Changes in climate have already had an impact on the iconic sugar maple trees of the Northeastern U.S.
Flow of maple sap, which is boiled down to make syrup, is controlled by alternating freezing and thawing cycles in the late winter. Maple trees also rely on snowpack during this time to protect their roots from freezing. Read more »

The famous 8x10 Gowlandflex, shown above and affectionately known as "The Beast". At nearly three feet tall, it was not very practical for most kinds of shooting. Seven were made and sold. The last one sold in 2005. On the right is a Rollei copy to show scale.
Owning a Gowlandflex puts you in an exclusive club whose members include the most famous portrait and glamour photographers of both this century and the 20th century. Annie Liebovitz, Josef Karsh,Dennis Manarchy, John Huet, Arthur Grace, David Raccuglia, Arthur Elgort, and Mark Laita all use or used Gowlandflexes. Any Gowlandflex TLR camera found is likely to be a rare collector's item in the near future.
There are hundreds of Gowland cameras working today, and hundreds more hiding somewhere, perhaps in an attic or the back room of a camera store. Peter sold at least 600 Gowlandflex twin lens 4x5 cameras alone.
Many large organizations have used or continue to use Gowland cameras. The FBI, Army, Navy, Polaroid, Eastman Kodak, and Playboy all owned and may still own Gowland cameras today.
Because Peter keeps everything in his life as simple as possible, he made and continues to make all of his cameras with simplicity in mind. No gadgets to break, no frills to fumble with, and no reading required to use them.
"I can't help it. I like to work in the shop. I don't think many people are interested in film cameras anymore. I do notice that people who do contact printing purchase my 5x7 cameras more lately.
I need to sell all of the cameras so that I can relax more with my wife"
In this world of computers, waiting hours on hold and searching endlessly for someone who knows about their own product, you'll find that Peter still answers the phone himself quite often. Peter's cameras are still made the old fashioned way - with care, passion and a personal enjoyment for making things.
You can see a lot of history related to Peter on this site, but please remember that Peter is not history. In a couple more years, the cameras will be all sold out here. If you get one, you'll have many years to make history yourself and explore the rich creative art of photography.
In using the Gowland SLR, the image passes through the lens to a small mirror shutter, is reflected up to larger mirror and back to ground glass, when the shutter is released, the small mirror moves right, allowing image to pass through the three shutter parts back to film. During this 1/50th part of a second, flash contact is made, center shutter part moves to the right, closing the opening. When both top shutter parts are moved to left for re-cocking, light cannot pass through lower opening.
With this unique design, it is necessary to keep the lens and small mirror close together. Rather than moving the lens for focusing, the ground glass and film are moved as one.
The camera is built around a 240-250mm lens. Film movement of 4 inches permits close focus of three feet to infinity. For special close work a shorter lens might be used. For example, 210mm can be used from two feet to eight-and-a-half feet. Longer lenses, providing they are telephoto, can also be used. 360mm Tele-Xenar gives large head portraits with focus range of five and-a-half feet to twenty-four feet. When top shutter parts are moved back, with knob on left side, shutter is ready for the next shot.

Football Alum Brad Maynard Named to MAC Hall of Fame
Brad Maynard, who lettered in football at Ball State from 1993-96, will be inducted into the Mid-American Conference Hall of Fame May 30 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Seven new members will form the 2013 MAC Hall of Fame Induction Class at the MAC Honor's Dinner at the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel Thurs., May 30.
Joining Maynard are Dave Keilitz (Central Michigan, baseball), Kim Knuth (Toledo, women's basketball), Bill Mallory (Miami, football), John Offerdahl (Western Michigan, football), Christi Smith (Akron, track and field) and Gary Trent (Ohio, men's basketball).
"It is only appropriate for our conference to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of our former student-athletes and coaches, specifically these seven individuals, and their achievements during their time competing in the Mid-American Conference," said Dr. Jon Steinbrecher, MAC Commissioner. "We are honored to welcome them to the Mid-American Conference Hall of Fame."
Maynard was the first punter in the history of college football to be named an NCAA Division IA conference most valuable player when he was named the MAC's Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year after the 1996 season.
During his collegiate career, Maynard ranked first in school history for punt yardage and punts in a career, and set the school and MAC record for career punt average. Maynard participated in two bowl games in his Ball State career and following his senior season was invited to both the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine.
Maynard was a first team consensus All-American in both 1995 and 1996 and a second team All-American in 1994. Maynard was the nation's No. 1 punter in 1995, No.3 punter in 1994 and the No. 6 punter in 1996.
He was a first team All-MAC selection in 1994, 1995 and 1996. Maynard also earned second team honors in 1993. He was selected as an Academic All-MAC first team selection in 1994.
Maynard was drafted in the third round of the 1997 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. During his NFL career, Maynard set NFL records for most punts in a Super Bowl, most punts by a rookie (1997) and most punt yards by a rookie (1997). During his 15-year NFL career Maynard played for three different NFL teams -- the New York Giants (1997-2000), Chicago Bears (2001-2010) and Cleveland Browns (2011).
The MAC Hall of Fame was approved by the MAC Council of Presidents in 1987. The charter class was inducted in 1988 and subsequent classes were added in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1994. After six induction classes, the MAC Hall of Fame maintained 52 members until it was reinstated in May of 2012. This year's class brings the number of MAC Hall of Fame inductees to 65 individuals from eight classes.
Ball State's previous inductees into the MAC Hall of Fame include Ray McCallum (basketball, inducted 1988), Shafer Suggs (football, inducted 1989), Ken Kremer (football, inducted 1991), Maurice Harvey (football, inducted 1992), John Pruis (President, inducted 1994) and Karen Fitzpatrick (field hockey, inducted 2012).
"I am extremely proud we have reinstated the MAC Hall of Fame, which was originally started by former MAC Commissioner Jim Lessig. Our Hall of Fame is a testament to the achievement of those that have competed in this great conference," added Steinbrecher.

Adoptive parents on trial in Ethiopian girl's death
Source: Seattle Times
The trial of Larry and Carri Williams in Skagit County has revealed details of alleged child abuse, and highlighted gaps in protection of adopted children in Washington.
Immanuel Williams' face barely showed over the witness stand.
Many in the courtroom could see only the top of his chair swivel slightly and his eyebrows scrunch up in confusion.
Sign-language interpreters relayed questions to the deaf 12-year-old boy, and the answers flashed from his fingertips.
"Very often that happened," he signed, "that I went without food."
Immanuel's adoptive parents, Larry and Carri Williams, of Sedro-Woolley, are on trial in Skagit County Superior Court, charged with homicide by abuse, manslaughter and child assault for allegedly abusing Immanuel and their adoptive daughter, Hana, and causing her death. They have entered pleas of not guilty.

Hanna rest in Peace. Let me remind readers and our Ethiopian Government that not all adoptions are done of good intent.
Two Americans are in jail in I think Qatar charged of murdering their adopted son from Africa. Their are a husband and wife of Korean descent. The child was not Ethiopian. The inestigation is ongoing. They are suspected that the child died of complications while its kidney was extracted.
Poor Kid !!!SHAME on the local agencies specially the Agazi Bandits !!! Her parents were hoping that she would have a better life ."Enat gudwan alayetchewum…" endalehu ye hagere lidji .Our Young ladies enslaved in Arab Countries and the
poor kids falling in the hands of evil so called adoptive parents .Agazi bandits ,TPLF thugs and Aderby Bandas ,this is what the Legacy of your evil master !!!! MAY GOD MAKES HIM ROASTEN FOR EVER IN HELL !!!!!
Lots of Ethiopian children life is changed for good because of adoption. All adopted parents are not evil like the one who adopted Hanna. In some cases biological partners also abuse and murder their own children, even in Ethiopia. The World is full of sick and psychopath people. May God give Hanna the peace and love she didn't get in earth
Teddy The TEDIOUS,
Do you know how BORING and tiresome you are?
Teddy you need to clear your head and start using your head than your butt. This has nothing to do with the present government.Adoptions are tragic and this kind of stuffs happen quite often. We hear this in America for years and years. Do we have to blame Obama for that ? Nope it started long before him. The same to this too. USE YOUR HEAD PROPERLY. IF YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD SEEK MEDICAL HELP, THERE MIGHT BE CANCER IN YOUR BRAIN.
RIP Hanna. It is very sad. I wish condolence to her parents and families.
What you fucking and annoying person you are. What has the relation between the government and the abusers? From any country kids can adopted and it is up to their chance to get nice or abuser adopters. The government didn't tell the abusers to make such kind of cruelty.

Rick Scarborough Says Religious Right Prayer Rally Ended Crippling Drought
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 9/18/2012 4:45 pm
During his conference call with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Vision America's Rick Scarborough hailed Perry's The Response prayer rally, which occurred in August of last year, for supposedly ending the state's extreme drought that began in October, 2010. However, according to StateImpact Texas, "in 2011, Texas endured the worst single-year drought in its history" and while "the situation has improved recently, the drought is far from over — and the conditions that caused it aren't going away anytime soon." Scarborough, who made the claim before while speaking to pseudo-historian David Barton, credited The Response with leading to "record rainfalls" months later and a speedy recovery.
Let me just say this, a lot of folk were aware that Texas had the worst drought in our history two years ago into last year, Governor Rick Perry called a statewide season of prayer and fasting and more than 30,000 people showed up personally at Reliant Stadium in downtown Houston where our football team plays. He led that complete day in prayer and fasting for God to break the drought, a lot of people criticized him in the press. But what a few people failed to take note of is a drought everyone said would take Texans years to get over, we began getting rain, it actually rained a bit that very day, but a few months later it began to rain, we had seasons where we had record rainfalls for a period of time and even now we are having rain. I attribute the breaking of that drought and the renewal of our resources as a state to the godly leadership of a governor who was not ashamed to humble himself before the world and become a part of leading our state in prayer.
A lot of folk criticized the calling of that prayer event and they missed the understanding that God didn't answer the breaking of the drought that day but within six months our lakes were back up to normal, our farmers were harvesting hey, cattle crops were saved, the fires across the state subsided. I am privileged to live in a state that is covered by a governor like Governor Rick Perry.
I had mentioned while you were waiting for you to get on the call about the impact of our Response at Reliant Stadium and how the press was willing to mock the calling of the prayer and fasting but had failed to document that what everyone thought would take years to replenish our lakes and streams almost happened in three months. It began raining, this year our farmers had a record year of harvesting their hey and I take all of that back to a courageous call of a governor of a state to the people to pray and fast, and the fact that you led in that day which I was certainly in the audience and participating in.

Jazz in the Garden
Tal Balshai & Friends
CD Release Concert "Ein halbes Leben - Neue Berliner Lieder" (Half a life - new Berlin songs)
Tal Balshai - pianist, composer, and arranger, studied classical and jazz piano in Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv, New York, and Berlin. He plays with well-known singers at the Salzburg Festival, in the State Opera Houses of Berlin and Hamburg, at La Scala in Milan, the Teatro Real in Madrid, and other prominent venues. Jewish artists expelled from Germany in 1933 are his particular interest. He developed a Kurt Weill evening and a program on Berlin film composers of the 20s and 30s with the opera star Angela Denoke and arranged Werner Richard Heymann and Hanns Eisler programs for Dagmar Manzel.
The Jerusalem-born composer and pianist Tal Balshai has spent "half of his life" in Berlin. Now he devotes a CD to the sound of the big city and the stories of ordinary people that live in it. Each song tells a piece of Berlin - be it a few lines of a stranger, the wind that whistles through the streets at night, or the search for meaning that connects us all here. Thus a soundtrack of the city was created with all the cultures that meet here - New Berlin Songs.
With the singers Maria Stella Adorf, Yvonne Ambrée , Yamil Borges, Sibel Egilmez, Elke Querbeet, and Djatou Touré.
The popular workshop "Matzah Baking" in the clay oven will be held for children, and large toys are also on offer.

Garret Brand, Professor at Grand Rapids Community College in the Business department, has been honored with the "Outstanding eLearning Faculty" award from the Instructional Technology Council.
Brand, who is also a Faculty Professional Development Coordinator, will travel to Long Beach later this year for the ITC's eLearning 2012 conference to receive the award.
From his nomination form:
[Brand] actively pursues excellence and quality while being creative and innovative in his instructional strategies to enhance his course and contribute to student success and retention. Garry has been and continues to be a leader not only in his classroom, but at Grand Rapids Community College and state-wide in advancing the use of instructional technologies and the enhancement of distance learning.
Said GRCC Provost Dr. Gilda Gely, one of the two individuals who nominated Brand; "GRCC is fortunate to have Garry. His commitment to our students drives him to be an innovator and a leader in this area. He sets the example and goes out of his way to mentor his colleagues. This award is a well deserved recognition."
She added, "Having an outside organization recognize the work that we already know is outstanding makes all of us at GRCC very proud."
Brand's other nominator was his colleague and frequent collaborator Eric Kunnen, Director of Distance Learning and Instructional Technologies, who described
"Garry Brand demonstrates excellence in his teaching and in his commitment to student success through delivering top notch instruction in the online and face to face classroom. He creatively applies instructional technologies to create a relevant, motivating, interactive, and engaging environment that enhances student learning. In addition, he freely shares techniques, tips, and strategies with other faculty through blogs, social networks, presenting at conferences, and in training sessions. "

To encourage families to save for college and offer positive exposure to Oregon university campuses, the Oregon College Savings Plan is hosting a series of random drawings that will result in the selection of 20 winners – 10 Oregon State University Beaver fans and 10 University of Oregon Duck fans – who will each receive two tickets to a 2012 OSU or UO home football game, plus a pair of tickets to Oregon's biggest college football rivalry, the Civil War game on Nov. 24 at OSU's Reser Stadium in Corvallis.
All 20 winners will also be automatically entered to win one of two grand prizes of a $5,000 Oregon College Savings Plan account: one for a UO Duck fan and one for an OSU Beaver fan. Enter online at www.oregoncollegesavings.com and click on either the Duck or Beaver logo by November 8, 2012.
"We want to encourage Oregon families to start saving for college early and regularly," said Michael Parker, executive director of the Oregon 529 College Savings Network. "We believe every child deserves the opportunity to attend college, and we are committed to helping their families plan and save for college through the Oregon College Savings Plan."
According to a report from Georgetown's Center on Education and the Workforce, people with a bachelor's degree make 84% more over a lifetime than high school graduates, with the difference in earnings potential for a college graduate up to $1 million.
The Oregon College Savings Plan works to educate the public that with good planning, funding a college education can be easier to achieve than one might think. Starting with small investments can amount to a big difference when it comes time for children to consider college.
The Oregon College Savings Plan also helps save on taxes; Oregon residents may deduct Plan contributions from their Oregon state income taxes each year (limitations apply; see the Disclosure Booklet for details.) and any earnings and qualified withdrawals are tax-free.
Entrants who are at least 18 years old can complete one official online entry form as either a Duck (University of Oregon) fan or a Beaver (Oregon State University) fan by Nov. 8.

This figures out to $6,333 per day ($799 per hour) at the outset and winds down to $1,333 per day ($166 per hour). In addition, the bank will provide administrative support (secretaries/assistants) and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses (expense account).
Poor man. He has to work 2½ months a year for a salary 90 percent of us can only dream about but will never see in a lifetime of labor.
The article went on to describe Regions' financial losses over the past five quarters. Does this deal sound vaguely like rewarding someone for poor performance over the last year on the job? Is it any wonder we have little trust in business and government leaders when they are lining their pockets while we struggle for basic necessities?
Regions, you could have put this salary to better use elsewhere.

I could not help feeling The News is really in the fight to get bingo approved.
It is beyond dispute that electronic bingo and other forms of gambling rake in millions of dollars, and some jobs are created thereby. That being the case, and since we are all being urged to forget about the downside of such ventures, I suppose we shall soon be encouraged to legalize pornography. It, too, is a billion-dollar industry and could provide many more jobs if legislated into legitimacy.
You could even put a rack of pornography in the justice building in Montgomery to fill up the space left where the Ten Commandments monument was. The possibilities are endless.
The new mayor wants a bigger dome. Milton McGregor wants to continue his gambling enterprise. The former mayor is his sidekick. They all are working together to destroy confidence in anything except money.
A bigger dome requires more money. Casinos throughout the Birmingham area with rigged slot machines would bring in a lot more money -- not for the taxpayer, but for the criminal enterprise it would be. A bigger dome might just become Alabama's grand old casino.
A bath is needed. The stench of the sewer project rises high. Hold your nose, folks.

The two year anniversary of Pastor Saeed Abedini's imprisonment in Iran is next month. With it a new focus by the U.S. Government calling for his release and that of other Americans held there.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry issued an impassioned plea for their release according to the American Center for Law and Justice.
"The Unites States respectfully calls on the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to release Amir Hekmati, Saeed Abedini, and Jason Rezaian to their families and work cooperatively with us to find Robert Levinson and bring him home," Kerry said.
Secretary Kerry added that the United States is committed to seeing all of those imprisoned or detained in Iran returned to their families, friends and loved ones.
However, Kerry focused more on Pastor Saeed's plight, "On September 26, Mr. Abedini will have been detained for two years in Iran, on charges related to his religious beliefs. Mrs. Abedini has spoken eloquently about the difficulties her family has faced during this challenging time."
Kerry went on to say in his statement that the Iranian government should release Pastor Saeed immediately.
The ACLJ noted the tone of his statement is welcomed and different in that Kerry noted the "severe difficulty faced by Pastor Saeed's family."
"Pastor Saeed - a 34-year-old U.S. citizen - has done nothing wrong; he is imprisoned merely because of his religious beliefs. His wife, Naghmeh, and two young children, Jacob and Rebekka, desperately miss and deserve Saeed back home." ACLJ's Jordan Sekulow said.
"The reality of what Pastor Saeed's family faces on a daily basis without their loving husband and father was best expressed by Pastor Saeed's children in a recent video. In the video they pled for President Obama to do more for their father's freedom and implore Iran's leaders to let their father come home to them," Sekulow said.
Sekulow also noted that although the ACLJ is thankful for the Obama Administration's new focus on Pastor Saeed, it will continue working to see Saeed returned "safely home to his family."
Sekulow said the two-year anniversary of Saeed's imprisonment for his Christian faith won't be overlooked if the pastor isn't released by then.
"On that day, thousands of people around the world will join together is hundreds of cities worldwide in a global day of prayer for Pastor Saeed and the persecuted Church," he said.
Sekulow pointed out Pastor Saeed has said he is greatly encouraged "knowing that in my chains the body of Christ has chained together in prayer."
Sekulow said more information on all the prayer vigils across the country can be found at SaeedVigil.com. He also urged Christians everywhere to keep praying individually for Pastor Saeed and sharing his story.
He said the petition for the pastor's release has 287,000 signatures but more are needed. Go to BeHeardProject.com to sign it and speak out for Saeed's freedom.

If you only THINK you need B, C, D and E then write A with the parts you think you need represented as attributes or methods of A. (I assume that because thinking about A makes you think about B, C, D and E they, or some parts of them, fall "inside" the "A Space" in some way). When A becomes unwieldy or some good reason appears to factor out one of the MAYBE classes, do it and write tests for the new class and change the tests for the refactored A. Until then you don't have the design information to worry about writing them. If you do have it, then you KNOW you will need them all and the problem is the same as anytime you know you need to write more than one related class. (Interesting, what is clearly implied is that the tests themselves are in some way part of the "code" of the application and hold design information about it.) -- KennethTyler?

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act mandates the manner in which crime statistics are to be collected and the format in which the statistics shall be published. In addition to incidents reported to the University of Pittsburgh Police Department, statistics include offenses that were reported to the city of Pittsburgh police and to University of Pittsburgh officials having significant responsibility for student and campus activities. University of Pittsburgh officials who have contributed statistical information include, but are not limited to, deans of student life and academics, faculty advisors to student groups, residence life staff, athletic administrators, student health personnel, subcontracted security guards, and property management employees. University counselors voluntarily provide nonidentifying information on crimes reported to them.
Statistics also include crimes committed on campus as well as crimes reported on public property areas that are contiguous to campus. In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Act, crime statistics are shown by the following geographical areas:
Chart I contains the statistics for those offenses reported to the University of Pittsburgh police, city of Pittsburgh police, UPMC security, and University personnel who have significant responsibility for student life and campus activities.
Chart II contains the statistics for those offenses reported to the University of Pittsburgh Police Department only as recorded for the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). These UCR statistics are derived, in part, from patrol areas in community areas not adjacent to campus.
Chapter 3 of the Pennsylvania Uniform Crime Reporting Act requires the release of crime statistics and crime rates to students and employees, and it requires that those statistics
be available to applicants and new employees upon request.
The crime rate is determined by a formula specified by the Uniform Crime Reporting Act, and is calculated by dividing
the number of reported crimes by the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) students and employees, then multiplying
that number by 100,000.

New research suggests that E. coli may have a new weapon to combat antibiotics. Although debate has surfaced over the use of antibiotics and the ability for bacteria to become resistant to the drugs, researchers from Harvard have discovered that some bacteria are not only resistant to antibiotics, but actually consume the drugs.
According to Discover, the researchers took 11 soil samples from various environments with different levels of antibiotics. Bacteria were discovered in all the samples that were able to survive by consuming antibiotics. These bacteria included types of E. coli as well as Shigella. The bacteria even existed in conditions that contained more that 100 times the amount of drugs given as a normal dose to patients and more than 50 times the amount needed to qualify bacteria as resistant.
The research provides a new angle on the use of antibiotics to combat bacteria like E. coli, both in patients and in livestock. There is also a possibility that the genes that allow the consumption of antibiotics could be spread to pathogenic bacteria and make infections from bacteria such as E. coli 0157:H7 even more dangerous.
If you have a question about E. coli O157:H7, please contact attorney Fred Pritzker at 1-888-377-8900 (toll-free) or e-mail Fred. If you would like to comment on this topic, please fill out the comment form below.

Global Poll Finds Widespread Belief that Afghans Want NATO Forces OutJuly 23, 2009
Questionnaire/Methodology (PDF)
A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll of nations around the world finds that most publics polled believe that the Afghan people want NATO forces to leave Afghanistan now. On average 53 percent have this belief, while 30 percent assume that most Afghans want NATO forces to stay.
(U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Pete Thibodeau)
Among those who believe that the Afghan people want NATO forces to leave, 76 percent say that NATO forces should leave. Among those who believe that the Afghan people want NATO forces to stay, 83 percent say NATO forces should stay. Overall, on average, 37 percent think that NATO forces should remain in Afghanistan, while 50 percent think the mission should be ended now.
At the same time there is considerable concern about the possibility of the Taliban regaining power. In 18 of 20 nations polled most think that it would be bad if the Taliban were to regain power in Afghanistan, with an average of 61 percent saying that it would be bad and just 21 percent saying that it would be good. In Pakistan, where many Afghan Taliban insurgents are based, 61 percent of the public also say that it would be bad if the Taliban were to regain power.
"Even though there is widespread concern about the possibility of the Taliban regaining power in Afghanistan, most people seem to be saying that the Afghan people should decide whether or when NATO forces leave," comments Steven Kull, director of WorldPublicOpinion.org.
WorldPublicOpinion.org conducted the poll of 19,178 respondents in 20 nations that comprise 62 percent of the world's population. This includes most of the largest nations--China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Russia--as well as Mexico, Germany, Great Britain, France, Poland, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Kenya, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, the Palestinian territories, and South Korea. Polling was also conducted in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
WorldPublicOpinion.org, a collaborative project involving research centers from around the world, is managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland. The margins of error range from +/-3 to 4 percentage points. The surveys were conducted across the different nations between April 4 and June 18, 2009.
The belief that most Afghans want NATO forces out is especially widespread in majority-Muslim nations, including Pakistan (86%), the Palestinian territories (74%), and Egypt (67%). However, this view is also widely held in Russia (63%), Germany (55%), and Mexico (76%).
The belief that the Afghan people want NATO to stay is the dominant position only in India (57%), the US (56%), Nigeria (53%), Kenya (52%), and the majority-Muslim nation of Azerbaijan (44% to 36%).
Within every nation people's assumptions about the attitudes of the Afghan public are highly correlated with their attitudes about continuing the operation.
In the WPO poll, national assumptions about Afghan public attitudes are also reflected in national attitudes about the recent increase in US troops in Afghanistan. On average, 54 percent disapprove of the increase and 34 percent approve. However, in all of the nations where more believe that Afghans support the NATO presence, most people support the increase. In nearly all of the nations where more believe that Afghans oppose NATO presence, most people oppose the increase.
The two exceptions to this pattern are Britain and Iraq. Though in both cases pluralities believe that Afghans want NATO to leave, in Britain a plurality (50%) approves of the increase and in Iraq views are divided.
Asked how they feel about the UN-authorized NATO mission to stabilize Afghanistan and defend against the Taliban, views are divided. Nine nations approve, while 10 disapprove. On average 44 percent approve and 45 percent disapprove. Here again, attitudes are highly correlated with assumptions about the attitudes of the Afghan people.
Funding for this project was provided by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Calvert Foundation.

Your guinea pig's main diet should consist of commercial timothy-based pellets made specifically for guinea pigs. These pellets contain added vitamin C, which is crucial to your guinea pig's health. Guinea pigs cannot manufacture this vitamin on their own like most other mammals, so they must obtain all they need from their diet. Guinea pigs also need unlimited timothy hay and fresh, green vegetables each day.
Healthy treats for guinea pigs include carrots and fruit, such as berries, apples, pears and tomatoes. Give sweet treats only on occasion because they contain natural sugars that can cause diarrhea.
Guinea pigs also enjoy gnawing on dried, aged twigs from fruit trees. Be sure the tree was not sprayed with insect or fungicide before you offer this to your guinea pig. Make certain you dry and age the twigs before you feed them since fresh twigs can be poisonous.

Whether waiting for a bus, buying a newspaper on the street, watching over a storefront or just walking, the New Yorkers in Saul Leiter's photographs possess a classic New York trait: They are alone in one of the most populous cities on earth. »Read Full Blog Post

Milwaukee Rep's soaring 'Ragtime' makes sweet music

Those opening moments — in which this musical's huge cast of characters make their introductions, and during which we get a rough sketch of the melting-pot story to come — can be turgid, confusing or both. »Read Full Article(4)

I am concerned about the case report by Jackson et al1 of the patient who was diagnosed as having torsade de pointes while receiving a low dose of haloperidol. There are several statements in the report that I find are not supported by the data presented.
Torsade de pointes is a syndrome and not solely an electrocardiographic pattern. It is seen in patients with abnormal repolarization that is usually but not always manifested by a prolonged QT interval. The classic precipitant of torsade de pointes is a long-short cycle coupling interval that further alters repolarization. Patients with the condition usually present with episodes of loss of consciousness that self-terminate but can occasionally proceed to cardiac arrest. A careful distinction must be made between torsade de pointes and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia secondary to ischemia, since their treatments are completely different.

Registration Procedures
Registration for the Fall 2016 term is open as of July 11, 2016. The Fall 2016 course list is available here, and registration forms are available on the Forms page. Please note that there is a separate form for auditors who are EI alumni.
Approximately eight to ten weeks before the beginning of a term, St. Mary's Ecumenical Institute lists on this Website all of the courses to be offered during that term along with registration forms and specific information about registration procedures and costs.
Special registration times with evening hours are scheduled before each term for in-person registration. Continuing students may register by mail, by fax, or in person. New students are required to follow the admission procedures described on the Admission Requirements page and to register in person, either during regular office hours, at the special registration times, or by appointment. Before registering, new students must schedule an interview to obtain initial academic guidance.
A registration deadline is set, after which time a late fee is charged to continuing students. For the Fall 2016 term, the deadline is Friday, July 29, 2016. Late registrations can be accepted, however (with payment of the late fee), until the first class meeting. Registration after the first meeting of a class requires the approval of both the instructor and the Dean. Continuing students must meet all previous financial obligations to St. Mary's before they are permitted to register for a new term. After students register, the registrar's office sends a schedule confirmation by mail.
St. Mary's Ecumenical Institute reserves the right to limit enrollment in any course or to cancel any course for insufficient enrollment, in which case students will be notified and full reimbursement will be made.
Change of Registration
All changes in registration (credit to audit, audit to credit, and withdrawal) must be made by submitting a written, signed notice to the Registrar's office. Email messages are not acceptable, though signed faxes are acceptable. Changes are effective when received by the Registrar. A "drop-add" period of one week at the beginning of each semester allows students to change course registrations without penalty. A student may change from credit to audit or audit to credit up to the mid-point of the term. (The specific date is published in the school calendar.) A student may withdraw from a course at any time prior to the final week of classes. All other changes of registration must be approved by the Dean.
Administrative Withdrawal
A student may be administratively withdrawn from a course for failing to meet financial obligations, failing to meet minimum attendance requirements (including patterns of tardiness), or violating the Community-Life Agreement or the Community-Life Policies printed in the Student Handbook. Students who are administratively withdrawn receive no credit and no refund of monies paid. They are responsible for tuition costs, according to the schedule on the Payment Policies page, until the date of the administrative withdrawal.

Video: The Concert Corner - Previewing Imagine Dragons, Tame Impala and more
It's a busy weekend for shows in Milwaukee, with fast-rising alternative rock act Imagine Dragons at Eagles Ballroom and critically acclaimed psychedelic group Tame Impala at Turner Hall Sunday. Unfortunately both shows are already sold out. But in this week's Concert Corner video chat with CineStars' Brittany Umar, I talk about another promising show (actually, series of shows) happening Saturday--although the promoter told me that he's expecting all the tickets will be bought in advance.
The poetry of Kevin Giese's Winter Chapel
What a lovely and generous project. Every year, the Portrait Society Gallery commissions an artist-made winter chapel, a place for reflection and quietude during these months of harsh weather and inwardness in the Midwest. This year's chapel, one of my favorites, was created by Kevin Giese. It is so simple, constructed with a curved wall and hollow, hand-stitched birch trees.

|« How Ethiopians in the US cling onto their heritage
|The Ethiopians and their leaders »
Ethiopia Draws Asia Manufacturing Interest
VOA News
For a long time, economists have discussed East Africa's chances to "get a foot in the door" of global manufacturing. China, as the world's leading hub for mass production, has become expensive due to rising labor and energy costs. Meanwhile, East Africa offers a large young and cheap labor force. Until recently though, delays at ports, bad roads, power outages and political instability have prevented a shift from happening. But now, the Ethiopian government is building new industrial mega-zones that have successfully attracted some foreign investors who are moving manufacturing from China.
He Pingting, who goes by the American name Claire, gives a tour of the new factory building of George Shoe PLC. The Taiwanese shoe manufacturer started operating some months ago and recently exported its first container: 15,000 pairs of pink and light-blue women's shoes made in Ethiopia.
He Pingting says the main challenge is the language barrier.
"We have so many stitchers. So, there are so many skills they need to learn. But, you know, teach them is a little bit hard because the language. …but no matter, we have a translator here and they're very collaborative," she said.
The factory is filled with a scent of glue. Young men and women in blue overalls sit in front of sewing machines and along assembly lines. Seven hundred Ethiopians work under Chinese and Taiwanese supervision: eight hours a day, six days a week for 800 to 1,200 Birr a month, which is about $60 (US), a fraction of a laborer's wage in China.
Bole Lemi industrial zone
The factory building lies on the outskirts of Addis Ababa in a new gigantic 156-hectare industrial zone, called Bole Lemi. It is only one of a handful of new planned zones across the country. After the completion of the second phase - another 186 hectares - Bole Lemi may offer up to 100,000 jobs.
Ethiopia is feverishly working on becoming the world's newest hub for manufacturing and has good chances.
"Pakistan, Indian, Taiwan, Korean, Chinese. All are there," he said. "You see the under-construction area, sheds are already contracted out. All leased now, all are leased. For instance this one, about 11,000 square meters, the next one 5,500 square meters. And we focus on this area for garment, especially garment, for garment and shoe, glove," said Shiferaw Solomon, the director-general of the Ethiopian government's Investment and Industrial Zone Corporation.
Behind Shiferaw Solomon outside the factory building, construction workers are working on two dozen new sheds that are to be ready by the end of August, a bit behind schedule. According to the Ministry of Industry, 20 foreign companies have secured factories at the site.
Fast growing economy
Ethiopia currently has one of Africa's fastest growing economies. Unlike others, it is not driven by natural resources, but large public investments with foreign money. Shiferaw is optimistic that the government's new industrial mega-zones and expansion of the textile and leather industry will give the country another push.
"We have abundant lands, abundant labor forces, materials, raw materials. Now, we're at a stage of opening up," said Shiferaw Solomon.
Driving out of the industrial zone, he foresees the potential his country has for the entire region. Already a rising political power, with a massive peacekeeping force in Somalia and other parts of the region, Ethiopia - Africa's second-most populous country with more than 90 million people - is now also heading towards a new economic age.
"I'd like and I hope to see in the future Ethiopia is one of the competing countries, interesting countries and it serves as a hub for African at large," said Shiferaw Solomon.
But the development comes with a price. Shiferaw says Addis Ababa and the entire country will suffer from power shortages for one or two years when all companies are operating.

Why not, here is a country led by baboons who can sell everything for a single banana . They make Ethiopians China's servant. Chinese pay $40 per week & make them as donkeys. We have to do something before these baboons throwing their waste
Good to see that all those unemployed Ethiopians are getting jobs. The leadership keeps saying the development is going to be: "fast, fair, and equitable". Hope they are hard at work to keep it so! The sweatshops of Bangladesh, China, Philippines… are sad lessons to learn from and avoid. The outcome, indeed the path, to industrialization should be uniquely shaped by Ethiopians and their societal values- a KFC or a Subway shop at every corner of Addis should not herald the arrival of middle income status.
Let's assume the factory workers do not pay payroll tax and take home Birr 1200 a month. This meager income won't even pay rent.
New era.
Why do not you vomit on those beggar charities and NGO who are invading us and turned us to beggars. You are against Development but you will welcome all beggars org. to feed you for free. What Ethiopia need is Development not begging.
It is amazing how easy it is to con foreign journalists. Ethiopia is in deep trouble ethnically because of the dangerous tribal politics. God help us. Foreigners wont understand the chronic ethnic division in a two days visit to Addis. Tplf is destroying Ethiopia. How sad!
New era you are hopeless and you are not able to reason, look south koryas economi was equal to ethiopia 60 years ago, see it now how it is. I rember how the people of south corea have suffered , but now see at them how they are , and see ethiopua how it is. Since ehiopia is full of stupied people likr you, I am sure it will never move forward
Good news for people of Ethiopia. For sure these jobs won't pay much for the workers but the reality is you have to start from bottom so the next generation will have a better opportunity than their parents.
You are wrong, there is only Amara tribalism and nothing else. Read how tribalists like New era insult everything in the land because they want only Amaras in the government. These are the worst tribalists Africa had ever seen. They even supported a sick hijacker just because he is Amara lol.
Asghedom: 'Ethiopia is full of stupid people…'
U sound Eritrean. I hope it is going fine for the none stupid people of your country. Do not Insult Ethiopians. Imbecile.
New era
You are hell bent on calling names, at least they are contributing to the economic growth that is moving very fast, but you are full of it and your kind of people we use to call BUUFAA
AEthiopia Is the promised land.. who has eyes shall see and the ethiopian people are beautiful not stupid in fact even the child in a village is more intelligent than you slandering god people. . You seal your fate to disrespect the Ethiopian people. Pompous and self righteousness shall never find and open door to Zion # think before you speak be still and know I am… life is about kindness caring and sharing…

New stars rise every year in the NBA. It's one of the best parts about the game.
For the 2012 season, there aren't many players poised to make their first All-Star appearance in the East, but there are a few guys who could have a big year.
Many consider the power in the NBA to be shifting to the East. The teams are stacked with talented players with All-Star hopes.
For the most part, the Eastern Conference All-Star players have been consistent choices over the last few years, so a lot will have to be done for players to earn a spot.
These players are all still young, with most entering their prime years. Let's look at some possible fresh faces in the All-Star picture.

The Douglas High girls soccer team begins what its hopes to be an extended postseason journey on Monday night at home against McQueen in the first-round of the Division I Northern Region Tournament.
The Sierra League champion Tigers (13-1-2) face the High Desert League's No. 4 seeded Lancers (6-8-2). The winner advances to the tournament semifinals on Wednesday — a 6 p.m. match against the winner between Spanish Springs (9-3-4) and Galena (10-3-3) at Damonte Ranch High School in Reno.
The tournament championship game is scheduled for noon on Saturday at Bishop Manogue High School in Reno. The two finalists will be rewarded with berths in the NIAA state tournament on Nov. 15-16 at Carson High School.
Looking back at the regular season, Douglas posted a 7-1 win at McQueen on Oct. 15. The Tigers coming off a 1-0 regular season-ending victory Tuesday at home against rival Carson. The game was decided in the 45th minute when Kassidy Freitas scored on a free kick.
In other opening round contests on Monday, Reno (12-3-1) hosts Damonte Ranch (5-7-4) at 2:30 p.m. and Carson (10-2-4) hosts Reed (8-4-4) at 6 p.m. Galena travels to Spanish Springs for a 6 p.m. contest.

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards certainly tried to push the envelope this time around. First-time host Jason Sudeikis's at-times-clunky monologue was rife with Arnold Schwarzenegger infidelity jokes, sexual humor and cheap digs at attending celebrities.
Most award presenters (among them 'Mr. Popper's Penguins'' Jim Carrey; 'Transformers 3' stars Shia LaBeouf, Patrick Dempsey, Rosie Huntington-Whitley and Josh Duhamel; and 'Friends With Benefits' stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis) followed suit with similar sex jokes. Sudeikis said that MTV stands for 'More Twilight Victories,' and he wasn't far off.
'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson won three awards overall, and was onstage or on-camera for at least 20 percent of the show, and 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' won in every single category it was nominated for. The legions of Twihards have spoken.
'Twilight' fans were disappointed when famously 'not-together' couple (even though they obviously are) Kristen Stewart and Pattinson didn't share a kiss onstage when they were awarded the Best Kiss award. Instead, Pattinson ran into the audience and shared a kiss with 'Twilight' co-star Taylor Lautner. OK, so maybe that was just as pleasing for the Twihards.
But it wasn't only all 'Twilight': MTV premiered an exclusive 'Super 8' trailer with an appearance by director J.J. Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg, and MTV also aired a new trailer from 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,' which was presented by star Emma Watson.
Reese Witherspoon was given the Generation Award for her performances in fan favorites like 'Legally Blonde,' 'Walk the Line' and 'Sweet Home Alabama.' But the spotlight was stolen from her -- once again by Pattinson -- when he dropped the F-bomb while praising his 'Water for Elephants' co-star. "I f*cked you," he quipped. MTV's censoring was a bit late on that one.
Seven-year-old Alexys Nycole Sanchez provided a bright spot in the show with her cuteness when she won for Best Line in 'Grown Ups' ("I want to get chocolate wasted"). We hereby submit that young children win an award at least once per show: The adorableness factor was off the charts.
Relative newcomer Emma Stone took home the prize for Best Comedic Performance for her work in 'Easy A.'
Things turned back to all-'Twilight' when Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner premiered never-before-seen footage from the upcoming 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1.' Best Movie of the Year, of course, went to 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.'
One question: What movies won at the MTV Movie Awards before 'Twilight'? At least Gary Busey presenting an award in a bubble was something we never expected to see.

Sitting at an altitude of 2400m between the desert and the altiplano, or puna (the high basin connecting the two branches of the cordillera), this has been an important settlement since pre-Hispanic times, originally as a major stop on the trading route connecting the llama herders of these highlands with the fishing communities of the Pacific. Later, during the nitrate era, it was the main rest stop on the cattle trail from Salta in Argentina to the nitrate oficinas, where the cattle were driven to supply the workers with fresh meat. The large numbers of Chilean tourists and hordes of gringos here can come as quite a shock if you have just arrived from more remote parts of northern Chile. San Pedro has recently begun to lose some of its charm and is lined with overpriced, trendy-looking hotels with poor service. Luckily, you will find exceptions. Tours from San Pedro Read More

If you are going to order then order l/xl no matter what size you normally are. I am 5'1 and 125 and i ordered a l/xl and they were still too small. They look very cute on and received tons of compliments but you have to keep pulling them up throughout the day.

I LOVE my bow tights. Sometimes when you buy tights you have to hold them by both ends to stretch them out a little before you actually out them on. This will stretch them out to avoid the pulling which in turn causes runs. They are oddly small though. But mines fit great and looked super cute!

I bought these while overseas and didnt try them on before I came home, but considering the no return policy on hosiery it would not have mattered.
I asked the girl to help gave her my size and she said considering my height i would be a Small.
When i put these on at home I just thought that maybe because they were brand new they werent that long, when pulling them up i got a run and a large rip just to get them over the knee.
Im very disappointed as they arent available in Australia and I am not willing to spend another $25!

I am 5'1", 100 lbs, and wear a size 0 so I ordered these in XS/S. When I took them out of the packaging, the first thing I noticed was that they looked almost small enough to fit a toddler - definitely not a grown woman. The second thing I noticed was a small hole where one of the legs met the bottom of the waist. American Apparel has a no return policy on hosiery so I figured I'd go ahead and try them on anyway. Good luck with that. I couldn't even get one leg all the way in without getting a run in them. I understand that they are meant to be super sheer so that the bows stand out, but that shouldn't be at the expense of the quality; ESPECIALLY not when people are shelling out $25 for a pair of pantyhose. When I zoomed in on the website's picture, the right leg appeared to have some borderline-runs in it as well. I know they look adorable, but PLEASE save your money.

The Other Guys
Buddy cop movies are about as fresh as day-old diapers, but every swingin' dick in Hollywood seems to feel like they can bring a "unique" perspective to the tired old formula and somehow put butt-cheeks in theatre seats on opening weekend. By now, the detective partner pairings have moved way past the good cop / bad cop cliché and instead ventured into squid cop / not a cop at all but actually a stay at home mom territory, with every boring shade of milquetoast wedged in between for good measure.
In "The Other Guys," director Adam McKay decides that it would be hilarious if Marky Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell teamed up to fight crime. I suppose intellectually this did seem like a comedy goldmine, sort of like if you matched Betty White with the corpse of Estelle Getty and then had them tag-team wrestle their way to the top of the WWE. Unfortunately, McKay also decided to load the movie down with side plots and supporting characters that don't really make any sense at all, turning "The Other Guys" into a soggy mess well before the end credits roll.
Case in point: Michael Keaton as the placeholder Captain. Who moonlights at Bed, Bath & Beyond, for no reason at all. I guess that was funny on paper, because it certainly crashed and burned for the 5 minute interlude where our heroes encounter him at the local big box store. Even worse was the decision to have Keaton spew forth references to TLC lyrics and then pretend he didn't know what anyone else was talking about when he was called on it. Yeah, you read that right. It's like they purposely tried to make this movie seem dated the second it was released. Lisa Lopez has been dead for eight years now, for fuck's sake.
Other amazing acts of comedic genius sprinkled throughout the film? Will Ferrell has a wooden gun. Whoa Nelly! He also used to be a pimp in college, before he was rescued from his downward spiral by nurse Eva Mendes, treating him for poison ivy in his anus. You don't say! And wait – Marky Mark is a phenomenal dancer, but only because he learned the steps to make fun of losers in his neighborhood as a boy. Outstanding! It's sort of like a Mad Lib of shit you might have found funny at sleep-away camp as a child, but grew out of if your career path didn't take you deep into the underbelly of backwater comedy writing.
Although overall "The Other Guys" was a complete disaster, perhaps the most misguided aspect of its paper-thin plot was to have Ferrell and Wahlberg tackle a case involving the mis-investment of the police department's pension fund. Apparently, the idea was to draw up a story angle that was even more boring than two space-faring trade federations that just can't get along. The film's bizarre moralization continues on through the credits where we are treated to a slideshow illustrating pay inequality between management and labor as well as various tax and bailout information related to the most recent recession. It's like PBS paid for the right to fuck up the last 10 minutes of the movie and make you feel guilty for ever wanting to participate in the American Dream – whatever that might be. According to Will Ferrell's character, it has something to do with "pimp juice."

The Other Guys at 77% on the Tomatoemeter?!?
How is this possible? Will Ferrell is not funny. Never was. Never will be. I have never even come close to laughing at anything he has done on TV or in the movies. Who in the world does think he's funny? If you do please explain why.
Now, if someone dressed up Ferrel in an elf outfit then dunked him in a vat of chicken fat and then poured Ostrich feathers all over him I might laugh then. But only if the Ostrich feathers were really big and Farrell topped the whole thing off by doing a chicken dance.
