Approvals will be given to those applications that will provide the greatest environmental benefits, i.e. those receiving the most environmental points. Practices that provide the greatest economic and environmental benefits will be emphasized.
Contracts will be developed for approved applications in order of descending environmental points, until all funds are obligated. Applications will be "batched" and ranked. The first batching period for ranking and prioritizing applications will be October 18 2013. Additional applications filed later than this date will be considered in the next pool of funding if additional funds become available.
Limited Resource Farmers, New and Beginning Farmers, and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers will be paid at an increased payment rate.
Planned conservation practices used to address the priority resource concerns will come from the Alabama NRCS state list. Invasive species will be considered at the county level if not addressed at state level. Eligible practices, restrictions and payment rates are the same as those adopted by Alabama NRCS state-wide.
The following local practice restrictions will apply:

The Hello2 of 23
By Abby Gardner
We were all introduced to this NYC-via-Detroit future Queen of Pop in the early '80s. She came to define the era with her stacked bangles, streaky highlights, and devil-may-care approach to just about everything.
The Virgin Bride3 of 23
Admit it, you totally made your mom buy some white lace gloves after Madonna's historic Video Music Awards performance. We sure did.
RELATED ON WONDERWALL: Fantasy Casting the Madonna Biopic
The Brows4 of 23
Most colorists wouldn't let you walk out of the salon with hair this blonde and brows this dark; but what Madonna wants, Madonna gets. In 1987, she made natural eyebrows and platinum hair cool. We wouldn't suggest trying a contrast this harsh.
The Conehead5 of 23
The Blonde Ambition tour was amazing on so many levels. Cone bra anyone? Jean Paul Gaultier's designs defined those shows. Along with "Like A Prayer." And that unforgettable ponytail.
The Marilyn6 of 23
When Madonna and Michael Jackson attended the Oscars together (in 1991), they knew it was going to be a major moment. Channeling her inner Marilyn Monroe in white, diamonds and fur, Madonna did not disappoint. The result? Glam, glam, glam.
The Little Bo Peep7 of 23
Let us just say that we love seeing fashion risks. But this German-Little-Bo-Peep-meets-Tokyo-teen look warrants some discussion, right? As in, "Wow, that's some cleavage!"
The Fall Girl8 of 23
Thanks to some amazing fake tresses, Madge rocked a modern Brigitte Bardot look at the 1995 VMAs, along with one of the first visible bra moments on the red carpet. But what we also remember is that uncomfortable interaction with Courtney Love.
The Evita9 of 23
No one has probably ever cried for her but boy, did we love how Madonna went all-out Eva Peron for the premiere of the movie. The color, the velvet and the veil are especially fantastic.
The Super Sexy10 of 23
Madonna went sexpot at the 1997 Oscars in a simple (for her) Dolce & Gabbana black dress. Best accessories: that crimson lip and Carlos Leon (Lourdes' dad).
The Free Spirit11 of 23
Who knew Madonna would have a grunge moment? But she did at the 1998 Golden Globes. We love the messy twists and braids. Now we can see where Mary-Kate and Ashley got their inspiration.
The Body Artist12 of 23
Would most of us have known about henna tattoos if Madonna hadn't done this? Probably not. We're happy we learned something new … but we never would have taken it this far.
The Natural13 of 23
The "Ray of Light" video highlights one of Madonna's best-ever looks. Dark denim + subtle (and wearable) sparkly accessories + natural ringlets = perfection. The abs …we're still working on.
The Geisha14 of 23
We love that Madonna embraces every culture. But it's sure hard to keep up with her globe-trotting. This Asian-inspired moment at the Grammys in 1999 was one of her finer worldly moments.
The Cover-Up15 of 23
She might be better known for taking it off than covering it up, but wow did this tweed-trimmed Chanel trench on the red carpet make us all take notice.
The Outspoken16 of 23
A picture is worth a thousand words. But we don't need more than one to know what was important to Madonna in 2004. Her clothes say it all: Guy Ritchie and Kabbalah. Discuss.
The Flip17 of 23
Madonna's 2005 tour brought out her inner Farrah Fawcett in the form of a very sassy '70s-inspired feathered hairdo. We loved it and that blinged-out hair band.
The Redux18 of 23
Not many of us can pull off a version of an outfit we once wore 20 years ago — our bodies just haven't aged that way. Well, Madonna can. Witness this leotard number from 2005 that is eerily reminiscent of her Blonde Ambition tour. Well done, M.
The Real Deal19 of 23
For someone as famous as she is, we don't often see "off-duty" shots of Madonna. It's too bad, because we're fairly obsessed with her flared jeans, leopard-print bag and red leather jacket.
The Herbalist20 of 23
This Gucci party in 2009 was the event of the year in Manhattan. And, of course, Madonna wore the most discussion-worthy dress that made us think about, um, greener pastures. We'll let you form your own opinions.
The Mad Hatter21 of 23
Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" tour wasn't the first one where we saw her accessorize with a guitar, but the top hat? That was new. We're still on the fence as to whether it worked to her style benefit.
The Hot Mama22 of 23
Lourdes is fast following in her famous mother's footsteps as a fashion icon. And what a closet she has had to play dress-up in all these years. Color us very jealous.
The Now23 of 23
Yep, it's official: Madonna's done everything. We've loved watching her become the woman she is now, in style and life. This shot of her with adopted daughter Mercy sums up much of what we admire about her: She's chic, charming and charitable.

Luke's Premier Foods wins industry award
PRINCESS ANNE, MD-May 3, 2013 Luke's Premier Foods won the "sofi™ Finalist" award and is in the running for a coveted Gold sofi™ Award reserved for the elite of the $86 billion specialty food industry. Owner Jim Hudson's entry, Luke's Heirloom ™ "Bloody Delicious Mary Mix™, was named a finalist in the Outstanding Cold Beverage category. It is the only product in the category made in the U.S.
"We have been working at this for seven years now," said Hudson, "and have been told (by consumers) that our "Bloody Delicious Mary Mix" is a high-quality product. But to have expert judges in the industry agree . . . well, it's pretty much like receiving an Oscar! In fact, it's a privilege to even be acknowledged in the same group as the other finalists."
Luke's is among 109 finalists selected from 1,885 entries across 30 award categories by a national panel of specialty food professionals. Gold winners will be announced at a red-carpet ceremony July 1 at the association's Summer Fancy Food Show in New York.
Hudson, an avid home gardener and Iowa native, is known in the industry for products he has perfected over the years, all stemming from his grandmother's recipe for tomato juice. Dr. Jurgen Schwarz, director and associate professor UMES' Food Science and Technology Ph.D. program, provides leadership for the research that yields engineering and processing advice to the company.
Friends of the company and of the specialty food industry are invited to support Luke's Kickstarter™ campaign, launched to defray travel, lodging and display expenses associated with the Summer Fancy Food Show.

Melanoma is skin cancer of the melanocytes, the cells that produce skin color and give moles their dark color.
Moles are collections of melanocytes. Normally, moles are benign. However, it is possible for a mole to develop into melanoma. A new mole may also be an early sign of melanoma. The 3 major types of skin cancer are basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Basal cell and squamous cell are the 2 most common. Melanomas account for less than 5% of all skin cancer cases, but they are more dangerous because they are far more likely to spread to other parts of the body.
Melanoma occurs when melanocytes divide without control or order. The disease typically starts in the skin, but it also may arise in other areas where melanocytes are found, such as in the eyes, digestive system, nail beds, or lymph nodes.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. Artificial radiation from sun lamps and tanning booths can also cause skin cancer. Exposure to sun is the primary cause of melanoma, but some people have a hereditary predisposition to develop these malignancies.What are the risk factors for melanoma?What are the symptoms of melanoma?How is melanoma diagnosed?What are the treatments for melanoma?Are there screening tests for melanoma?How can I reduce my risk of melanoma?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with melanoma?Where can I get more information about melanoma?

Using Kouzes and Posner's nationally recognized Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership as a foundation, this innovative program consists of workshops that participants elect to attend based on their individual interests and leadership goals. While the SLI co-curricular certificate program offers participants the flexibility to create their own curriculum, there are common program features that include:
In 2012-13, its inaugural year, the response to the Leadership Institute from the campus community was overwhelming. In total, 45 undergraduates and 19 graduate students participated (selected from 160 applicants), and 15 faculty and staff served as workshop presenters, while 45 more served as leadership mentors. Students involved with the Student Leadership Institute program at GSU will also benefit from the mentorship component that is woven into the program design. Students will have the opportunity to work directly with a mentor who will discuss their workshop options, provide direction and track their development and progress. Currently, more than 100 students have successfully completed the Student Leadership Institute.

Due to an overwhelming response to the SLI program, we are pleased to announce the continuation of a graduate component of the Student Leadership Institute. The planning team has developed the Graduate Leadership Scholars, which will be both unique to the graduate participants and have added value to your experiential learning experience. This is an exclusive opportunity to participate in the leadership program designed specifically with you in mind. The GLS Program will contain the following required elements:
Participation in the Graduate Leadership Scholars Program is exclusive to graduate students.
The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) immerses lower division students in a process of personal development that lays the foundation for the exploration of leadership.

Issue #5: Flash doesn't work.
You'll have to do the following:
1) Set Desktop Browser Mode in Browser Settings.
Settings > Applications > Browser > Advanced > Desktop Mode. Check that.
2) Navigate to any site that uses Flash. Click on the box where Flash should be.
3) Let it take you to site to install Flash.
That should work if you're lucky.
***** Here is Jeremy's solution for what worked for him:
I got it as a "plug-in." I went to a tv website (cbs.com, I think) and tried to play a video. It told me I needed a Flash Player upgrade, and offered me a link. I clicked on that, opened a new tab, and it asked me some setting preferences and then seemed to freeze. I waited with no results, closed the tab, closed the browser. Reopened the browser and tried it again and the video played. In my apps, I have one labeled as "plug-in." Seems to work.
***** Here is compulsive reader's solution
I went right to the adobe site and downloaded the flash app from them and installed in on my HD+. It didn't want to work right away so I rebooted and tried again and now i have it.
***** Here is NookLoverRJ's steps
I got flash on mine. Make sure your stock browser is set for full website. Go to a video that requires flash. It will prompt you to shop or go to browse. Choose shop and download app. Mine works now.
If not, try these same steps with one of these three browsers:
a) Puffin - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/puffin-web-browser-free-cloudmosa-inc/1108148934?ean=2940043877833
b) Dolphin - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dolphin-browser-mobotap-inc/1112438665?ean=2940043876461
c) Maxthon - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/maxthon-web-browser-for-nook-maxthon/1109557078?ean=2940043889133
One of these three should work.

Re: Flash
I have a Nook HD+ and if I go to a website that requires Flash and click on the link to Adobe, I get "This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device." There seems no way around that. I get this in the stock browser, in Dolphin browser, and in Pulse. The same content works fine on my Nook Tablet.
Looking at the Settings, I don't see "Settings>Applications>Browser", I see "All Settings>Applications>Web". Browser is not listed, so Desktop Mode is not available. Am I missing something here? Are these workarounds only for the Nook HD and not the HD+?
Please advise.

Either the new Dolphin Browser or the new Puffin Browser are supposed to come with flash in-built (one of them, forget which). You'll have to make sure you have the latest version i.e. uninstall your current version. Then get the new one from the store.
Then check.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + WorkaroundsGeorge-Alphanian Aug 4, 2013 3:18 PM (in response to 5ivedom)
The free Puffin browser has a two week trial of Flash, and the $2.99 app has full time Flash.

What browser are you using? I understand that Chrome does not support flash, but I may be wrong. Dolphin and Puffin do support flash.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundstmarieb Sep 8, 2013 4:14 AM (in response to 5ivedom)
Puffin worked but was choppy and cost $2.99 after the 14 day free trial . Not willing in this day and age to pay for a browser. Delete! Installed firefox then I went to the google play store and downloaded the flash player. Success!!! It only works in firefox, would not work in google chrome.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundsvrogers56 Nov 14, 2013 7:29 AM (in response to 5ivedom)I downloaded and installed the Dolphin browser, set it to be my default browser. Opened it and went to the CBS website to watch an episode of NCIS I missed. At first it didn't play, then I shut down my Nook HD+, restarted it and went to the CBS website again. It played fine, and didn't give me the "flash isn't supported on your device" message.

If your PC doesn't recognise the NOOK HD+ from the USB port try installing Windows Media Player 11 or above. It seems to need the drivers in WMP to work. This solved the problem for me.

I am so confused - I am new to my nook and all I want to do is combine the books I have in the library with my "google play" books I downloaded so they are all in one spot. I want to be able to click the "library" button at the bottom left of the screen and have all the books on there.
Is there a way to combine google play/goodreads/library? idk I just want to feel like I can click on one thing and open my books right there.
Please help!

Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundslookingforward Dec 21, 2012 10:45 AM (in response to 5ivedom)I don't know if anyone else has mentioned that you can just download the Overdrive app for library books and DRM free books. Works great and no need to plug into your computer.

Overdrive itself needs an ADE authorization regardless of your device ADE. You'll have to go into the Overdrive settings in the app to authorize it. You don't need to reinstall. At the bottom of the screen, there should be a menu icon that will let you go into the settings for Overdrive to set it. If it doesn't take, you may have used up your allotted authorizations, but a quick call to ADE cs will get you some more.

Emails Disappearing
Most email providers have two options for linking up to their email service, POP3 and IMAP.
POP3 will take emails from the Server and place them on your device.
IMAP just shows you what's on the Server without removing it, so you can download the mail to your pc too.
To ensure that you don't lose any emails, set the Nook up using the IMAP protocol from your email provider. The details should be available on their website or by calling their customer support.

Ghost SD card files in media players
Ghost picture, song and video files can appear in the built in Gallery and Music Player apps. These are duplicate copies of songs, pictures and videos stored on an SD card that won't play.
Music - if you tap on a ghost, the device skips to the first music file it can play in that album or 'sorry the player does not support this type of audio file' message if whole album is ghost;
Photo - Gallery shows two or three thumbs of the same photos and blank spaces - you may only see a scattering of pictures interspersed with blank spaces rather than the more usual solid grid of thumbnails. When you click onto a photo to view in full screen, the bar at the bottom of the device shows gaps in the thumbs available for viewing and if you swipe the screen to move to the next photo you get 'Thumbnail not available' message on black screen for the ghosts
Video - Seems to be an 'unsupported' message that comes up when you click on the ghost.
I have a call in to 3rd line CS support about this - first line and their managers didn't know what was updated in 2.0.5 - and will add what they say to my own findings:
Getting rid of ghosts
Nuclear option is to erase and deregister the device.
It works, but it is a pain as you lose passwords, bookmarks and any sideloaded files - so make sure you have copies of all login names, passwords and back up copy files on your pc before you do it.
Turn device off, take card out, turn device back on, go to settings cog>Device Information>Erase & Deregister Device.
Re-attach to wifi & re-register.
I have then just inserted the SD card, which is read by the device and my files appear only once in the gallery and music player.
Laborious option is to delete the files individually.
This worked for ghost music files:
Open music player
Open Album and you will see multiple copies of songs listed
tap on first song to play and watch like a hawk to see which song it actually plays (highlighted in blue)
The ones above that are ghosts to be deleted.
The song highlighted in blue that plays is the version you want to keep.
In my case, the song I wanted to keep was always the last copy of that song listed. This meant that for a block of identical songs, I could delete all but the last in the list.
To delete, tap and hold on a song title.
You get a menu offering Play, Add to Playlist, Delete, Search
Tap Delete
You get a warning that this will permanently delete the song from USB storage (but for ghosts it won't)
Tap ok
I then did a quick check of the album to make sure I had good copies of all the songs.
The ghosts stay deleted and do not reappear when the device is shut down.
(unless the device fails to recognise the sd card when started up again....but that's another story!)
This method didn't seem to work for me with photo files, but I may have given up too soon! I ended up with 1,900 odd copies of my 260 photos and I was deleting the multiples that I could see but couldn't delete the blank spaces. It may have been that if I kept deleting what I could see and powering the device down and up and repeating I may have cleared the lot.
Not sure about Video files, as I focussed on photo and music files. Maybe someone who has been 'exploring' the video file issues could chip in
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + WorkaroundsAlbionRose Dec 27, 2012 3:42 AM (in response to AlbionRose)
SD card Ghost issue - Advanced Debugging
I also posted a couple of weeks ago that putting the device into advanced debug mode and removing the sd without unmounting it, rebooting the machine, replacing the sd and rebooting the machine seemed to kind of work. It was very hit or miss, and I suddenly took fright after reading on XDA how delicate sd cards were. (Am I wrong here? I read that if card is corrupted each reformat takes a year off their short life?)
But to get the device into advanced debug mode:
settings cog>All settings>Device Information
Press volume up button to full on and hold (it will bleep)
Tap the screen between the word 'Settings' and the blue volume bar
Diagnostic info screen comes up
Diagnostic info>Debug and Diagnostics> Advanced Debugging> check the box
This seemed to help, and sends activity reports via wifi which may get the techies working on it sooner.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + WorkaroundsAlbionRose Dec 27, 2012 3:40 AM (in response to AlbionRose)
Avoiding Ghost files in the first place
Until resolved by future update, keep all files in device memory
Roustabout mentioned this one - until the sd card is more stable keep files on the device only and do not use the sd card for file storage.
There was also an issue with 2.0.4 version of the software secretly corrupting files written via the device onto the sd card - not sure if this issue applies to 2.0.5 as well. Dragging files from pc to sd via card reader should prevent this problem.
I only have a 16GB device and 20GB of music, so putting all files onto device wasn't ideal for me.
I settled on keeping the photo files, which I can't deghost by deleting, on the devices internal memory and music and video files, which I can deghost by deleting, on the sd card.
Do not turn device on & access music player/ gallery if sd card removed temporarily
I have been removing my sd card from the device after powering down and adding files via card reader from my pc.
If you do this, keep the device switched off until you replace the sd card complete with new files and THEN switch the device back on. No ghosts and the new files show up ok.
On one occasion I powered up the device and looked at the gallery to see which videos I had put onto the device's internal memory, checked the media player to see if albums and songs appeared to still be in place in spite of the sd card being removed (they were), powered down, put SD card back, powered up & voila ghosts.
Avoid other known triggers
I have also created ghosts by:
- Trying to create a play list, though it may well be that I had tried to include a music file that had been corrupted during the 'write to sd via usb and device on 2.0.4' process;
- Accidently copying a zip file to sd via device usb;
- Swapping SD cards over with different file heirachies, even though I powered down before removing sd's;
- Deleting a bunch of non ghost files and leaving ghosts in my music player.
So carefully avoiding this lot now!
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundskarateka Dec 27, 2012 5:15 PM (in response to 5ivedom)Thank you Jeremy, that worked for my first book. However the second book keeps giving me an error message on the nook saying that the book has been returned.

Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundssmile247 Mar 3, 2013 2:30 PM (in response to karateka)
I had the exact same problem. I was able to drag and drop to get my first ebook from the public library onto my Nook, but the next time I repeated the process and it gave me the error message that the book had already been returned. I checked the library website and I still had 13 days. So I tried another book with the same results.
My public library doesn't use Overdrive, it uses Axis 360 so that solution doesn't work for me.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + WorkaroundscompulsivereaderTX Jan 16, 2013 3:01 PM (in response to 5ivedom)
If you have rooted your HD device or are using an N2A card, you might be interested in Calibre Companion app. I just did a review for it earlier in this forum. When 5ivedom brought up his app, and then it got shot down for the "open to read" aspect", I went back to my Calibre Companion app and really explored it. Found several great things it does that I LOVE! Not as pretty as a graphic room, but pretty good! It wouldn't let me paste the link but I saw that link button up there and gave it a shot. Hope it works. If not, look for it in the forum.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundsroustabout Jan 16, 2013 3:13 PM (in response to compulsivereaderTX)
Although many POP3 email setups default to deleting mail from the server, POP3 does not need to be set up that way.
If you use the excellent k9 email app, you can set it to poll email via pop3 and not delete off the server.
Account Settings
Fetching Mail
When I delete a message - do not delete on server
Sync Server Deletions - remove messages when deleted on server
These settings let me, at least, check mail from my phone and HD+ (via pop3) and webmail (imap) clients, but until I fire up my PC mail stays put (and even then, I control how long mail stays on the server before I choose to delete it.)

I am having a very annoying problem that I can't seem to find any help for!
I bought the Nook HD+ the day it was released. I adjusted all my settings and I always turn my sounds all the way off. Alarms, Notifications, and Media are all at 0. However, whenever I charge the Nook, the notification/alarm/alert still goes off and at FULL VOLUME! I have to bury it under a pile of clothes at night so it doesn't wake me up, and sometimes that doesn't even work. Also, when the battery gets to 5% the notification/alarm/alert also goes of at full volume, but then it goes of CONTINUOUSLY until I plug it in!!!
I tried emailing support but they gave me this library resyncing work around that didn't work. I updated to the latest software early this morning and was hoping somehow the issue would be resolved, but it wasn't.
Please, please, please help!!!

I have a question/issue with the profiles on my new Nook HD. I set up a profile for myself and then one for my husband. We have separate Facebook accounts. I am logged into mine on my profile but when he goes into his profile, My facebok is logged in on his. Do we just have on continuously log in and out when switched profiles or is there a way to fix this in a setting or something. Thanks in advance for any and all advice/help!
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workarounds5ivedom Jun 3, 2013 11:14 PM (in response to anb6708)
I don't think Facebook is separate across accounts. You'll have to log in and log out.
I think Facebook links to the main profile.
Frankly, I've not seen too many people trying this with Accounts so I might be wrong.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundslookingforward Jun 4, 2013 4:51 AM (in response to anb6708)
If you are talking about the Facebook linked to your profile so that you can post to your friends from your books. Yes you would have to log out of Facebook. If you are talking about the B&N app than I am unsure. If you are using the Google Play Store app I believe that is linked to the device although I could be wrong.

I bought Nook HD+ last night but I was not able to play with it. After charging the device, I set-up my profile and a few minutes later the device hang and went on reboot mode. It got stucked to 99% and never came back up. I read commets from other users who has the same issue with a Nook but there's really no solution except going to the store and get a replacement. Is this common problem for Nook HD?

It seems that the new number one HD / HD+ issue since 2.1 update adding google play / android apps is:
! Your device isn't compatible with this version.
Some apps I use on my android phone that won't allow me to install on my Nook HD are:
Fandango, Swype, Underground Weather, (AVG antivirus - I don't want to buy it on B&N), etc.
We need to know the workaround, first if there is an easy no root work around, if not then pointed to the N2A links.

I have had an issue recently and hope someone here can help. I have several videos loaded to the SD card on my Nook HD. I can play some of them with no issues. Others, though, will get 5, 10, maybe fifteen minutes into the video and then stop and give me a message "Sorry, we are unable to play the video at this time". All of these videos were downloaded from the same site in the same format. Any idea as to what might be causing this and how I can fix it. Any help would be greatly apprciated.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + WorkaroundsShadow_Dragon_SM Sep 4, 2013 4:32 PM (in response to 5ivedom)
It is not that the videos refuse to play. They start playing perfectly fine and then in the middle of playing the video, it will stop and display the "Sorry, unable to play video" message. It is my understanding that if it was in the wrong format, it would refuse to play the video at all.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + WorkaroundsShadow_Dragon_SM Sep 6, 2013 10:48 AM (in response to 5ivedom)

I set up a profile for my son, and it will not allow the movies I purchased to be watched in his profile. I have tried allowing chrome on his page to see if that will allow the movies, but no. and Youtube on his profile is also out of the question. I get a Blcak Box that says Googleplay has stopped working. I called the support number, but it was so hard to uderstand what the person was telling me because of the accent and she had a horrible time understanding me. I feel like I made a HUGE mistake in buying this a few months ago. The other problem I have that is a major one for me, is the constant rebooting or "updating" of the device that will happen at least once a day and many times up to 3 or 4 times. And it seems to happen every night while I am laying in bed reading, if I forget to disconnet the wifi. With these two problems, I am considering returning and getting a tablet from somewhere else. Anyone know how to fix these???? thanks
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundslookingforward Sep 21, 2013 5:14 AM (in response to Psmama)Try giving them access to Google Services. That should clear up the issue with YouTube. As far as the syncing issue goes I'm clueless as I have that same issue, sometimes its no big deal and others it brings my NookHD+ to a halt.
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + WorkaroundsWulfraed Sep 21, 2013 5:35 AM (in response to Psmama)
With regards to problems when using a different profile... I'd suggest DON'T.
Native Android is coded based on each application having an application specific data store. Profiles OTOH imply user-specific data and settings. Unless an application is coded for the HD profile feature its behavior in a restricted profile will be erratic.
If you were to return the HD and buy a tablet from some other maker you will be in the same condition as operating the HD with only the owner profile. So getting rid of any side profiles on the HD should be a first start.
For the many sync calls... go through all settings and turn off or extend the check interval... Especially for any of the Google stuff.

I'm having the wireless connectivity issue. I've turned everything, including the router, off and back on, tried the forget the wireless network, re-entered the password and nothing. I tried to enter the wrong password and got a wrong password error, but the correct one doesn't work. It keeps telling me that it's aquiring IP address. I've had it since last Christmas with zero issues until 2 days ago. Everything else in the house connects to the wireless just fine.
Any ideas?

I had a similar issue. I had to make adjustments since I am able to connect to b, g or n with my wireless. I found that I can connect on b or g but not on n hope that helps
Re: Top 10 Nook HD and HD+ Issues + Workaroundscreese Nov 2, 2013 4:18 PM (in response to roy33pdx)I hope this will help with wireless connection problems. Not all wireless routers or Internet Providers are the same. This may or may not work in all cases. I am sorry. I am not feeling well and I am typing this on my HD, I can't copy paste what should be the first step. ****PLEASE TRY THE OPTION TO "FORGET" YOUR WIRELESS CONNECTION BEFORE GOING INTO YOUR ROUTER SETTINGS. IT IS AT THE END OF MY POST**** Many wireless routers have syncing problems now and then. When this happens and you reset the router, you might also have to reset your password. Most router interface settings can be found by typing your router address in your internet browser on your computer not your device. A typical address looks like http://192.168.254.254. It is a good idea to check your documentation for your provider settings, though you probably only have to input your user name and password. When you have typed in your router interface address, you will either see a login screen or your router settings page will appear. If the login screen appears, try typing your user name and password. If it does not accept it, then type "admin" as the user name without the quotes and leave the password blank. This should open the router settings. Check your settings and go to the section that has the user name and password and type in yours and save changes. If the login screen does not appear, but the settings screen does, then you can type your user name and password, double check your settings and save changes. If neither appear or if you are uncomfortable doing this, your Internet Provider will walk you through the correct steps for resetting your wireless router. Once it is reset, your device should have no trouble finding the connection. PLEASE TRY THIS FIRST. I HAVE DONE THIS QUITE A FEW TIMES WITH EACH OF MY NOOKS AND IT CLEARS OUT THE WORKING MEMORY AS WELL. *****It is always a good idea to turn off your Nook and turn it back on whenever your connection is not working or the connection has slowed down. Your Nook should find the wireless connection, but always keep your network name and pass code handy. Restarting your Nook does not always give you a better connection. Sometimes the connection will improve if you click on the Network and "Forget" the connection. Restart your device, allow it to find the wireless network connection and re-enter your passcode.****** My problem is frustrating. I have a new Nook HD and I cannot get the darn sd card holder to open! It says to slide straight out with your fingertip. I have tried every fingertip but I am afraid I will break the card holder!

I just got my HD+ and have no issues with it. But in the past I've purchased devices that were quirky at first. My advice to anyone having WiFi connection issues is to make sure the firmware in your router is up to date. It's not hard to do and it can make a world of difference. It may not help, but it shouldn't hurt either. And if it makes things worse, you can always roll back.

Re: Random Reboot Issuepetesnook May 7, 2014 11:27 PM (in response to ankala)
It sounds like your Nook did a factory reset. If so, it may not have the latest OS, version 2.2. Check your device info in settings. 2.2 was the version that introduced Google Play Store, I believe. You may need to update the OS. Or it may do it automatically eventually.
Re: Random Reboot Issueankala May 8, 2014 7:01 PM (in response to petesnook)
Yes, it has the latest operating system. It is barely a year old.
This nook HD+ suffered the so-called "Random Reboot" issue, and yes, it forced a factory reset for no apparent reason after working perfectly since purchase.
It seems this problem is a known trouble. Many people have reported having such an issue.
I had the same problem before with my nook 1st edition, but it ran for almost three years before it began doing the "Random Reboot" problem repeatedly.
I am really disturbed that my nook HD+ is doing it and it is only a year old.
I treat all my electronics very gently and with care.
Re: Random Reboot IssueNookGardener May 8, 2014 7:41 PM (in response to ankala)
Out of curiousity, what kind of case do you have it in? I started out with one of the heavier "book type" covers and then moved to the Groovy (much lighter, like it a lot.) BUT, it doesnt really protect the power button much. So if you put it in bag/briefcase (especially an overstuffed one) the odds of accidentally involking the bump the power button/then the n button 8 times and accidentally resetting it to factory settings increases. (Doing it twice in one month taught me that lesson, and got the briefcase cleaned out )
If its only happened once, not sure its worth worrying about yet. If it starts happening all the time, thats another story....

Show PlayStation 4 Pro Specs
PlayStation 4 Console
Combining powerful graphics and speed with intelligent personalisation, integrated social capabilities and innovative second screen features on PlayStation Vita, the PlayStation 4 is a powerful machine to keep up with the demands of the modern gamer.
That power comes from 8GB of unified system memory and new processors, custom built for the speed and strength needed to unleash the rich graphics and immersive gameplay experiences that PS4 will offer. And the architecture of PlayStation 4 has been created in collaboration with game developers, ensuring that there will be no limit to the kind of games they can imagine and create.
PlayStation 4 also offers a fully personalised experience. The console is smart enough to learn your likes and dislikes, and will discover and share content that suits your preferences. It will also pre-load your home screen with gameplay and game-related information shared by your friends on PlayStation Network, and even find recommendations for content based on your choices, not only for games but movies and TV, too.
The PS4 console also includes a selection of party style games called PlayRoom pre-installed on the console. PlayRoom makes use of both the DualShock 4 and the PlayStation 4 Camera to fully showcase what the controls and console can do - and put you directly into the game!

PlayStation 4 controller
A new controller for a new generation, the Dualshock 4 will change the way you play.
The familiar Dualshock design gets some subtle changes, making it the most comfortable PlayStation controller to date. And alongside this increased comfort come improved controls, with enhanced analog thumbsticks and buttons for greater precision. The new touchpad introduces new ways to play, letting you guide, gesture and draw your way to success, the Share button lets you upload your gameplay, and the built-in speaker and headset jack bring the sounds of the game - and the ability to chat - directly to you.
The perfect partner to the improved graphics and gameplay of the PS4, the Dualshock 4 controller boasts enhanced vibration motors to let you feel the action with the same intensity as the action on screen. Plus, the Light Bar on the front will offer personalised play, identifying players quickly to show useful game information.
Show PlayStation 4 Controller Specs
PlayStation 4 camera
Bring the world around you into the games you love with the PlayStation 4 Camera.
The PS4 camera is leaps and bounds ahead of the PlayStation Eye used on PS2 and PS3. Dual lenses, an 85 degree field of view and almost infinite capture range ensure no detail can escape the PS4 Camera's vision, while the 4 channel microphone array picks up audio with crystal clarity. And all this can be captured at up to 240fps or 1280 x 800 pixels.
All these improvements mean that the PS4 Camera can enhance your gaming like never before on PlayStation. Log in using facial recognition and enhance your multiplayer experience with picture-in-picture video, connect with friends all over the world from the comfort of your living room, and even use voice commands to start games and more. Plus, use the camera to add live narration to your gameplay as you share it live on Twitch or Ustream.

Games on PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 is a console that is inspired by developers and focused on gamers. The powerful architecture has been built to allow all gaming possibilities to take shape, allowing the best developers in the world to build their games without limits - meaning you can play without limits, too.
And you can start playing straight away - thanks to PlayGo, you can begin playing your games while they're still downloading. PlayGo will download a portion of the game to get you started and install the rest while you're playing - and even let you choose to download single-player or multiplayer first. And the new Suspend Mode keeps the system running at a low power level so you can jump straight back where you left off!
PlayStation 4 will be home to a wealth of some of the biggest and best names in gaming. From PlayStation exclusive titles to the most popular multi-platform franchises, the games on PlayStation 4 will push the boundaries in graphics, gameplay and interaction for years to come.
There will be no restrictions on playing preowned games on PlayStation 4, and you will continue to be able to loan and trade your games, and to buy them preowned, letting you continue to play on PlayStation 4 just as you have throughout PlayStation's history.
Remote play on PlayStation 4
PlayStation 4 offers Remote Play through PlayStation Vita, making it the ultimate companion device.
Almost every PlayStation 4 title has been built to be played remotely on PS Vita over a local Wi-Fi connection - only games that specifically require a special peripheral like the PS4 Camera or PS Move controller won't have this function.
This means that you can keep playing your PS4 games directly through your PS Vita, so if someone else in your household wants to watch TV, you can keep playing! And because the PS4 is doing all the processing work, you won't notice any drop in the quality of gameplay or graphics, meaning you will still get the same console experience on your handheld - although the screen will be smaller, of course! On top of all this, many games will allow your PS Vita to be used as a second controller!
PlayStation Network and the PlayStation 4
The PlayStation Network will continue to offer a wealth of online content, with many features carrying over from the existing PSN model experienced on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
You will continue to use the same PSN account, including your username and avatar, and you'll still maintain the same control over who sees your personal details. However, there are some big changes on PlayStation 4. The Xcross Media Bar will become the PlayStation Dynamic Menu, with a customisable layout that will let you manage your downloads, show you what your friends are doing and even learn your likes and dislikes. Plus, you'll now be able to have up to 2000 friends, and Party Chat will enable you to, well, chat to multiple friends at once, even if you're not playing the same games.
The biggest change for PSN on PS4 is that a PlayStation Plus subscription will now be required to play games online. However, this is the only feature that will now require a subscription - streaming TV and movies, party chat, and playing Free-to-Play games online will still remain free.
PlayStation Network will also allow you to access your online account on any PS4. So even if you're not at home, you can log in to any PlayStation 4 and download any games you have purchased from the PlayStation Store and play them wherever you are and there's no limit on the number of systems you can use, letting you play on your account almost everywhere you go!
You'll still be able to continue enjoying a host of entertainment services, too, from on-demand TV services like Netflix, to social media like Facebook and YouTube, and much more. Look out for exclusive, original content with programming from SONY Pictures Entertainment, while new streaming services Music Unlimited and Movies Unlimited will also be available at launch.
Show PlayStation 4 Entertainment Apps
The SHARE button on DUALSHOCK 4
The Dualshock 4 Controller's new SHARE button lets you share your great gameplay moments with the world quickly and easily. Rewind the last few minutes of gameplay, tag what you want to share, and it'll upload as you return to the game!
You can even stream your gameplay live to Ustream, complete with picture-in-picture live commentary if you really feel like showing off! Or you can edit your gameplay, creating HD walkthroughs of your favourite titles that can be shared via social media and become the next community sensation.
And just because you're away from your console, the sharing doesn't end. Not only can you access your PSN account on any other PS4 console, the new PlayStation App for mobile and tablet devices will let you chat with friends, watch videos and share tips wherever you are.
Stream your games and movies!
With PlayStation TV you can stream your games and movies from your PlayStation 4 to another TV, meaning you don't need to argue over the TV any more.
PlayStation TV is easy to set up and easy to use, just set up PlayStation TV with the TV you'll be using, register it to your PlayStation 4 to enable remote play, pair a DualShock 4 and you're done. Now you can take control of your PlayStation 4 and play away from the console.
You can access all the content installed to the PlayStation 4 and play discs that are sat in the disc drive. Also with PlayStation TV you can play compatible PlayStation Vita, PSP and PS One games on the big screen.

He's one step closer to the majors. Domonic Brown was sent to Triple-A Lehigh Valley today, after cruising through the Eastern League with Double-A Reading. He hit .318 with 15 homers and 47 RBI, so this was the logical move.
With many pining for him to come to Philly, at least for now we know he's made the transformation from the middle of the minors to its highest ranks.
27 Comments
That works out well. He'll have a solid 2 months at AAA before September call-ups.
Maybe he can teach Greg Dobbs how to hit again.
I don't mean to de-rail this topic, but:
HOUSTON — Veteran third baseman Pedro Feliz was summoned into manager Brad Mills' office prior to Tuesday's game and told he was no longer the starter. The Astros promoted rookie Chris Johnson from Triple-A Round Rock and plan to give him the majority of the playing time at the position.
Feliz, signed to a one-year, $4.5-million contract after eight seasons with the Giants and two with the Phillies, entered Tuesday hitting .221 with two homers, 22 RBIs and eight errors.
"I just take it as a bad season so far," Feliz said. "It's not over. I have to keep working and get everything together. It's the first time I've been in this situation in my career, but I won't get tired of saying it's not over. I'm going to continue to do what I have to do. If they need me, I'll be there for them."
Mills acknowledged the conversation with Feliz wasn't easy.
"Pedro has done absolutely everything we asked him to do," he said. "He's worked hard every day, he works in the weight room, works in the cage, works on the field. Sometimes the results don't match exactly what you've done and the hard work you've had. He was disappointed but he understands if he was playing better and swinging the bat better, this move might not have been made."
Said general manager Ed Wade: "We really felt when we went out and signed Pedro he was gong to be able to pick up some of the run production we lost with Miguel Tejada not being here anymore, and he struggled. We've given Pedro a lot of opportunities and everybody thinks the world of him. He's a great guy and his career numbers speak for himself." [Mlb.com]
Anyone else surprised? Pedro, 8 errors? He must feel like crap. I actually feel bad for the guy, but Ruben definitely made the right move in signing Polanco.
About time
Dom Brown on the rise… love it.
Something else that you might find interesting… the Oakland A's have started 11 different outfielders since opening day and not one of them was named Michael Taylor. Why? He's hitting .239 with 3 HR in AAA… kind of surprised he's struggling but I would love to get him back (coming back to Philly would do him good).
Pingback: Tweets that mention Dom Brown Moving Up to Triple-A | Phillies Nation -- Topsy.com
This is definately worth a drive up to Allentown!
Why is Dane Sardinha getting the Ashburn? Shouldn't Polanco, or Utley, or Werth, or even Big Joe? Didn't Dane go 1-4 with a homer. Is a solo homer worth more than going 4-4, 3-3, 3-3, or 8 2/3 innings with 3 Runs given up? Meh. Whatever.
I can just picture George Jefferson strutin' his stuff now…
I'm surprised teejvee hasn't commented on this yet….coming up with some stupid-a$$ complaint about it.
Greg – I grew fond of Pedro. Loved his defense and was hoping that he would turn out some of the same offense in Philly as he did in SF – 20 plus hrs, 80 plus RBI – it never did work out except for his D. I liked him and I was one of the people who was not sold on Poly at the deal.
Thanks for the update.
I can't help it, I feel bad for Pedro. He seemed like a nice guy. And he was a virtual wall at 3rd for the Phils. It's sad.
Oh give him time Chuck. teejvee will show up to toss in a firecracker. I just don't understand why anyone cares.
What's the consensus? Do you think they're moving Domonic Brown up to eventually platoon with Ibanez, for a trade, or is this just the next logical move b/c he's playing well? I honestly don't have a clue.
Yeah. I'm incredibly happy with Poly, but I, too, had problems getting rid of a proven stellar defensive guy, and the #1 with RISP hitter. Turns out it was a fantastic move, as long as Poly remains capable of doing what he has been doing for 2 and a half more years.
Nothing left for Brown to prove at Reading. He'll see much better pitching at LV. Love the move.
You know who also has 8 errors so far this year?
Chase Utley
Ed R. – Thaaaat's right, Mr. Utley has some fielding errors early this season. But shhh. People will act like you're trying to inflict injury upon him.
Well apparently Utley is already injured, or so we are told.
I'm just saying, Utley is having a less than desirable season. Fortunately his hitting is coming around, hopefully his defense will as well.
If the Phillies plan on making the World Series again .. they'll need a DH
if they want that guy to be Domonic Brown, he needs to be added to the roster before September 1st …. BUT if they do that, it starts his major-league clock
If they wait until next June to call him up (ala Strasburg, Stanton, Alverez) that's almost a full year at AAA , which I dont see happening..
And if you're going to begin 2011 with him in the mix, why not add him for some games before hand .. I think they'll see how he responds to the next level, if he can manage to show some power, and hit anywhere in the .275+ range …. they'll see where he is from there.
I kinda get the feeling they want to see what he can do ASAP to know if any of their current OFs could be traded and he can fill in?
Victorino might have the most trade value, and you could move Werth to CF and Brown to RF (and Brown would bat 6th-7th) .. who knows
What was that "rumor" about the Astros maybe having interest in Victorino??
I question the comment that Brown will be facing "much better" pitching in AAA. Most organizations have their real prospects in AA. Brown will get to see a few fringe major leaguers and the "AAAA" type guys though. Real prospects don't spend much (if any) time in AAA. Hopefully, we'll be seeing Brown in Philly soon.
Michael Stanton had 1394 minor league plate appearances (0 in AAA)
Chris Coghlan had 1301 (110 in AAA)
Starlin Castro had 1098 (0 in AAA)
Jason Heyward had 1003 (13 in AAA)
Pedro Alvarez had 820 (278 in AAA)
Buster Posey had 750 (359 in AAA)
Ike Davis had 769 (42 in AAA)
Domonic Brown currently has 1700 minor league plate appearances.
I'm Ted Bell.
That may be true, but most if not all of those guys came up because their teams were not so good and they had spots for him, the phillies have a pretty good core that is not going anywhere at least till after next year. They are comited to Raul cause of money(plus he is coming around at the plate recently) And they just signed Vic, and Wreth is up in the air but you can not have an all left handed batting order, so even if Wreth goes after this year, you will still need a right handed bat in the outfield.
There is a difference between "fringe major leaguers" and prospects; a prospect many times is still a bit inconsistent and inexperienced, whereas a "fringe player" has already had the experience of knowing how to get major league batters out with pitch selection and location. Sure, the prospects are great in AA, but not really very many of them actually make it to the majors.
I think it's wise to give Brown some time at AAA. He'll be less likely to have his numbers decline in his sophomore season. Howard's and Utley's numbers didn't fall off at all, so I think LaMar and his crew are onto something in their development philosophy.
Also, Brown will have more chance to work on his defense, which Phils scouts are still not satisfied with.
Dominic Brown should be brought up late this year to get his feet wet so to speak. Sign Johnny Whacko to a 4yr $56M contract, and eat the cost of Raul's contract for next year while they begin platooning with Dom. In 2012, let Raul go and make Dom the full time left fielder. Brown, Vic & Whacko will be our outfielders – NICE.
Off to the game this afternoon for the fourth game in a row. Dorothy is on the bump today. Let's hope (s)he has a great game ;^)
My wife and I are going to Pittsburgh for Fri, Sat & Sundays games. Never been to PNC Park before. We are psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO Phillies!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa. That was a great article. Please keep writing because I love your style.

Team of Rivals
Yankees/Red Sox. Reagan/Gorbachev. Lindsay Lohan/Sobriety.
Rivalries make otherwise routine matchups a bit more interesting. They breed adrenaline. They invite ingenuity. They spark passion, no matter how dormant.
But, as we witnessed earlier this year in the case of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow, baseball rivalries have also been known to get out of hand.
Admittedly, there was a time when I allowed my flippancy towards Chicago Cubs fans to reach a critical point. In the summer of 2007, fresh off a World Series crowning but at a time when my Cardinals weren't playing too well, a few too many Old Styles found their way in my system and what started out as simple boasts of pride for my interlocking "STL" and redbirds-on-the-bat garb soon turned into a verbal shouting match with a gang of pinstriped kids from DePaul. Throughout the game, my taunting parried with their rage (they too weren't quite sober) and it escalated when I found myself surrounded by them in a Wrigley field restroom.
Instead of shutting up, I just got louder.
And before I knew it, I was at the bottom of a pile of angry, angry feet.
I learned my lesson that day: sports aren't any fun when you're literally getting your @$$ beat.
So I don't do that sort of thing anymore. I smile. I nod. I tip my cap to good plays and keep my nose buried in my scorecard (or beer).
And that's how I'm going to enjoy my Redbirds coming to town on Tuesday.
Also, I'm taking my pal, Johanna Mahmud — Cubs fan extraordinaire. He's scary looking… good for keeping the riff-raff at bay.
Hate me 'cuz you can, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
10 Comments
I'm around the block, just outta sight…:-) Rivalry has memories for all I think, me I was at the Reagan/Gorby game on that moon-like lava rock island in a little town called Reykjavik….
Enjoy your trip to Cubieville….
and last and least is MB finally done?
Stay awake I could jump out from round a corner at anytime🙂
Rivalries always the event more fun, but the fans need to take these in stride. I've heard stories of kids being spit on at Michigan games for wearing Ohio State garb…really? Spitting on kids? It's always good to have a scary looking guy with you in a crowd, but if you need a token Cub fan to hang with you, I'll send Trevor down next time. Enjoy.
Enjoy the game! I'm glad you get to go. Is Johanna really going to keep you out of trouble or are the two of you just going to combine forces and incite blog and podcast fodder galore…I guess we'll have to wait and see.
The ugly side of rivalries is actually why I don't go to Angels/Red Sox games unless friends beg. The tickets are always more expensive and it seems like most of the major a-holes both sides can claim as a fan are a) at the game and b) playing to type in my presence. Even if we win, it doesn't make for a fun game experience. Angels/A's and Angels/Dodgers games on the other hand are a blast. Those rivalries play more like sarcastic siblings and make the game more fun.
– Kristen
I doubt they're physically afraid of Johanna; it's the open shirt and…never mind.
Stylistically afraid; physically afraid…whatever works!!!
Gotta love the rivalries. I'm puttin' a toonie on the series.
—Mark Gauthier
Peter — Good to know! Don't be a stranger. Oddly enough, some people like what you have to say😉
Mike — I'm still shakin' my head on Trevor's loyalty. Maybe he just needs a nice Cardinals cap to change his mind.
Kristen — You're right in that Jo will probably cause more problems than deflect them… se la vie. Wouldn't be the first time! Still, I'm on good behavior nowadays. Now that I'm all grown up😉
Prince — Exactly. I'll take it where I can get it. Fredo is a good yet simple boy.
Mark — Toon it up!
I hope you guys behave at that game. I don't want to come on this blog and see pics of either of you with black eyes!
We'll behave, Jane. I promise. I'll be in rare form (translation: I'll be sober).
Be Proud. Wear that Cardinals jersey in the Wrigley bleachers. But never poke the sleeping bear. Especially a drunk, sleeping bear. Hope you had fun.🙂
I did, Rob! As long as we keep winning series… that's all that I can ask for😉

The Wurzweiler School of Social Work is tremendously committed to the Peace Corps Fellows Program. We value the experience volunteers get while in the Peace Corps and understand how that experience may better prepare returned volunteer students for their field work, which is an integral part of our program. Returned volunteers have also demonstrated a belief in giving help to underserved and needy communities.
The funds have been identified to continue to support this program into the foreseeable future.
We are dedicated to preparing skilled practitioners with commitment to social justice and "repairing the world" [tikkun olam], an important Jewish value. Historically and currently, the school's mission has adhered to a distinct set of values—cultural competence, professional ethics and values, social justice and the importance to services for underserved communities and individuals. The National Association of Social Workers' Code of Ethics, to which we subscribe and use as a very important teaching tool, identifies six core values of the profession: service, social justice, dignity and worth of every person, the importance of human relationships, integrity and competence. Our partnerships with our field work agencies and the Peace Corps are directly in line with the mission of our school and our practices, and we believe we have an obligation to make our communities a better place and train our students to take on that task. Connecting returned Peace Corps volunteers with communities in need is a perfect match.
Fellows can obtain their degrees as part-time or full-time students and may choose from any of our flexible program plans.
Returned volunteers who have satisfactorily completed their Peace Corps service have lifetime eligibility for the Coverdell Fellows Program. Volunteers may choose to participate immediately following their Peace Corps service, or any time thereafter.
There are no additional application requirements for fellows. However, make sure to note in your application and personal statement that you are applying to Wurzweiler through the Paul D. Coverdell Fellows Program. Begin your application now.
For more information about the Fellows Program, contact the Department of Admissions at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212.960.0810.

Tennis elbow is an injury that causes tenderness and pain on the outer surface of the elbow. It is also known as lateral epicondylitis. In spite of its name, the injury is not only common with tennis players but also occurs due to work related jostle injuries. The tennis elbow pain ranges from minor discomfort when using the elbow to intense pain when the elbow is still.
The pain may be become worse when twisting your arm, gripping and extending your wrist. The pain may spread to the neck and shoulders.
Here are some common tennis elbow symptoms:
- Pain and discomfort on the outer surface of the upper forearm, just beneath the elbow. The pain can extend to the wrist.
- Pain when bending or lifting your arm
- Stiffness and pain when you extend your forearm fully
- Pain when gripping objects like a pen or writing
- Wrist weakness when doing minor tasks like revolving a door handle or opening a container
This condition can last for a couple of weeks or several months since tendons take time to heal completely or you can use a recognised tennis elbow treatment to speed up the process.

Brand new Clemats Street restaurant serving up `fashionable' cuisine

In the wake of a giant interior Buddha sculpture comes a Wellington restaurant duo—the chef-partner, for one, once worked at The Breakers and Cucina dell'Arte in Palm Beach—is bringing "fashionable" cuisine to downtown West Palm Beach's Clematis Street.
Oli's Fashion Cuisine opened yesterday at 215 Clematis Street, the former home of showy Asian restaurant Fuku.
Oli's co-owners Juan Gando and Chef Dustin Parfitt opened their first Oli's Fashion Cuisine in 2010 in Wellington and its success led the two to open three other Wellington restaurants tagged with "fashion cuisine."
So what's fashion cuisine? A definition printed on Oli's menu, featuring new American dishes and [More]
