I did not. This San Francisco-based ensemble consisted of seven superb players who presented a delightful program largely made up of dance tunes from the British Isles: Ireland, Scotland, and England. Any performance of some two dozen tunes simply played one after another runs the risk of monotony. But ...

5.9 is the rated 0-60 on the 2005 300C, so we were pleased when we got six flat on the almost four year old car. The 300C: The 300C comes with a 5.7 L Hemi V8. At full power, the 300C creates 340 hp and 390 lbs of torque. This engine runs on four cylinders when less power is needed to reduce fuel consumption. Even with this energy saving mode, the 300C runs at 15 mpg city, 23 mpg highway. All 300Cs use a 5-speed automatic transmission and standard 18 inch chrome-clad alloy wheels. Heritage Edition: The Heritage Edition 300C comes with the 5.7 L Hemi engine and many of the SRT-8's exterior modification, added chrome, special tires on 18 inch wheels, and smartbeam headlights. Special SRT Packages: In 2007 the SRT Design group created a package for non-SRT 300C's that includes performance suspension, SRT 20 inch polished aluminum wheels, a high speed engine controller with revised tuning for 5.7 L HEMI that brings the power to 350 HP, high flow air cleaner system, and performance exhaust.

This ought to be embarrassing.
If Jordan Hill outplays STAT tonight, I think I'll have to have him assassinated.
I like that stress machine alot Crazy, im about to pull out the KY jelly real quick before the game...I only got like one minute, if i go into super jerk mode i should be able to get one out right before the tip off
who is that woman? that should give me something to do during halftime.
Lastnight the Knicks shot 18-43 from the 3-ball line....tonight will the Knicks shoot (50) fifty 3-ball attempts???
How many 3-balls will Walker shoot tonight?
Stat gets in foul trouble early.
Douglas/Giraffries are going to combine for 6 turnovers and 4-18 from the field.
We will burn an early lead as soon as Giraffries subs into the game only to come back in the 3rd quarter. In the 4th quarter I bet we only score 9 points total and lose by 7-9 points.
Knicks will chuck at least 15 3's tonight in each half and miss 3/4 of them.
MDA will comment at half-time that our shots just aren't falling right now and we have to shoot better in the second half. We'll all keep complaining about MDA's substitutions and lack of playcalling/preparedness.
Hope I'm wrong but I won't be surprised if I'm close to right.
Novak will have more dunks than STAT in this game..
SMH at Antoni treating scoring like thank you points.
Real Talk
Scola will make Atari look like a rookie
Here we go again. Same ol' song and dance..The Three Ball party..
The game starts and 5 guys are standing around on offense... 0-5 shooting, Bill Walker doesn't even try to get the open rebound, Douglas gives the ball away...someone shoot me.
To all those asking about the chick: Shay Laren.
Maybe we can average a three ball per minute. 48 a game...

Human beings are obsessed with the possibility of life on other planets. Countless movies, books, and television shows are centered around alien civilizations, and there is an entire subculture of people devoted to the idea that aliens not only exist, but have already visited our planet for the inexplicable purpose of livestock mutilation and the molestation of the barely-literate.
However, we can say with a candor close to absolute certainty that nobody on Earth will ever see warp drive starships or quad-breasted space women from the Crab Nebula, because for a number of reasons, the chances of us ever meeting any aliens are slim to none. Why? Well ...
5 If They Exist, They're Likely Too, Well, Alien
Our concept of alien life is firmly rooted in the idea that it would be comparable to life on Earth. Almost every major alien race in the realm of science fiction and fantasy has been humanoid -- the Klingons from Star Trek are essentially angry space-cavemen while the Vulcans are virtually identical to human beings. Both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are technically aliens, despite the fact that they look exactly like two white Earth men from the 1970s, and the Asari from the Mass Effect series look like blue strippers with subdermal cornrows.
Behold, inspiration for decades of uncomfortable Comic-Con costumes.
Even the so-called "eyewitness" accounts of extraterrestrial landings we see on those History Channel UFO specials describe the aliens as being essentially human in appearance, with identifiable arms, legs, eyes, and heads. Hell, even the xenomorphs in the Alien franchise, which were supposed to be inhuman bug monsters, were so close to us they could be played by humans in costumes. The point is, that our idea of intelligent life is dependent upon the assumption that the human race is a common point of reference, despite the fact that in all likelihood this is crushingly incorrect.
But the greater question is, "If aliens aren't going to have boobs, do we even want to meet them?"
The truth is, we don't know the first goddamned thing about what the makeup of life is in the Quasar Nebula or whatever distant star cluster aliens might hail from. The dominant life form on their planet could be a fart cloud of neon gas and space lightning that communicates with a series of atonal whistles, by changing the temperature of the air around them, or even by emitting certain smells (though to be fair, some human beings communicate in this third fashion).
In other words, even the basics of life as we know it on Earth (I.e., that carbon is the base element) is by no means the fundamental rule of the universe. Carbon may not even freaking exist on the aliens' home world. The reason we have yet to make contact with alien civilizations may very well be because we wouldn't recognize them even if they sat down in the booth next to us at Applebee's.
"Sorry, we don't serve hyper-intelligent shades of blue. Store policy."
But even if they were somehow amazingly close to humans in their psychology, their thought process could be significantly different to human in terms of speed and response (an idea postulated by Carl Sagan in the novel-turned-unfortunate-movie Contact). It could conceivably take an alien species several hours, days, months, or even decades to relate a single phrase translatable by human beings. For all we know, aliens have been paging us the same sentence for the past 70 years and we've just been dismissing it as bizarrely drawn-out radio static.
4 They Might Not Want to Screw Us Up
But let's say that there are aliens out there who, by some random chance, evolved to be close enough to us that we could converse with them. And let's further assume that they don't simply want to destroy the planet and take our gold. They may still have solid reasons for simply not wanting to talk to us.
You can only leave so many crop circles without a reply before you start looking desperate.
If you've ever seen Star Trek (and let's not kid ourselves -- if you clicked on this article, you have seen Star Trek), you may know that the most important rule the crew of the Enterprise follows as they're zipping around the galaxy is the Prime Directive, which they break about eight times an episode:
"As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Star Fleet personnel may interfere with the normal and healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes introducing superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely … This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations and carries with it the highest moral obligation."
"And that means no banging! Kirk!"
Basically, the Enterprise cannot interfere with life on other planets in any way, regardless of the outcome. They can't pick one side of a warring alien race and arm them with laser cannons, obviously, but they're also not allowed to bring a starving village a crate of space cupcakes (Starfleet considers these to be the same goddamned thing). They have literally let entire civilizations obliterate themselves for the sake of the Prime Directive. This is an actual theory about extraterrestrial life that scientists call the "Zoo hypothesis", which suggests that super advanced aliens do exist, but they refrain from contacting Earth in order to keep from interrupting our natural evolution and development. Essentially, the aliens are content to sit back and watch until we reach their level, and only then will they share their time-traveling rocket boot technology with us.
What a bunch of shitheads, right? Well, maybe not. Charity, no matter how well-intentioned, can backfire in unpredictable ways. For example, there have been a number of projects to increase the standard of living in Ethiopia, which is a country literally famous for being impoverished. One such project involved installing water taps in Ethiopian households. While this had several incredibly beneficial effects, most notably dropping the infant mortality rate, it ultimately contributed to household shortages. More children means more family members to support, and those water taps weren't spitting out any extra money -- so essentially, the children were surviving infancy only to grow up starving. By solving one problem, another equally devastating problem was created.
"I'm finally over my intimacy issues, but now I have herpes."
In the perspective of the Zoo hypothesis, imagine if aliens had touched down on Earth during the Dark Ages, and instead of face-raping everyone with space crabs, they decided to try and help. So they gave humanity self-perpetuating mooncube energy and advanced irrigation, thereby eliminating the need for any of us to ever compete for resources ever again. The aliens leave, patting themselves on the back for their good deed. However, with endlessly renewable resources, Earth quickly becomes overpopulated, and instead of fighting for oil or whatever, people are vaporizing each other with mooncube lasers just for living space. The aliens come back after a hundred years to check up on us only to find the Earth an ashen, blasted landscape of corpse fumes, and now they have to type up a substantial report explaining their actions to the intergalactic community.
We wouldn't want to have to deal with that amount of paperwork, so it's reasonable to assume that the aliens wouldn't, either. But even if they did, there might be another reason they avoid us ...

Hell yeah K-mart is the steel curtain.
With J Kidd now in the fold, & his old teammate & good friend Melo already here, I think Kenyon Martin would be looking at the Knicks as a favorable destination. He would add some much needed toughness to this roster, an enforcer on the floor & in the lockerroom. A huge upgrade over someone like Jared Jeffries both in his game & in the other intangibles he would bring to this team.
If we can't get Marcus Camby to sign, I really think K-Mart should be the guy we target to shore up our frontcourt.
Yeah guys, we need some of that STANK FACE in the Garden!
This man would approve.
Hell yeah K-mart is the steel curtain.
Excellent choice of pics! Makes the thread way sweeter. +1age.
I like the idea, and have been wondering about KMart in terms of what he'll garner contractually.
He has every reason to come here.
He and Tyson manning the paint would be harrowing to any PG,SG and SF in the league.
He'd sure as **** expose Amar'e's weaknesses......
Consider me on the bandwagon.
I co sign this thread, why don't we just get Camby and K Mart!
put down the bathsalts. Kmart is done.
Think about this, Chandler and Jeffries weren't offensive monsters during Linsanity, but they were huge on defense. We'd have a Linsanity-like squad on our bench with Martin, Camby, and Kidd.
PG: Lin
PF: Jeffries
C: Chandler
Hell's Kiddtchen:
PG: Jason Kidd
PF: Kenyon Martin
C: Marcus Camby

The thing is we as fans want them but idk if management is even paying attention at all about where these guys are heading or if they want them on the team. I hope Grunwald doesnt act like this off season is over because we got Kidd, we still have lots of work to do in order to be able to stay in a game against the Heat.
I like the kenyon martin idea, someone pass it on to knicks management please. Already has the chemistry with kid and melo, sounds like a perfect match. Can see him and Chandler holding it down the rebounds too. Oohh and the picture about Oakley agreeing was priceless, good one !
If we cant get Camby then I would like this move for Martin.
He still has some athleticism and he can hit an open shot while providing toughness, the guy averaged a block a game in 22 min last season.
I would rather have a backup center and never have Amare play center again.

You guys know what I love about K-Mart? It's exactly what made me HATE him whenever he came into the Garden as a NJ Net & used to punk our guys. That smirk on his face after he just induced someone into fouling him out of frustration because of how hard he was guarding them. That NASTY throw down dunk of his off a Jason Kidd dish & the calm stare into the crowd. He is someone that other players hate to play against, & from what I've heard is someone that you would kill to have as a teammate. This team has zero guys who would intimidate anyone, we need a guy like K-Mart on this squad. I think he would make a perfect Knick & harken us back to the good ol' days when we were 1 of the nastiest teams in the NBA to play against with guys like Oakley, Mason & Xavier McDaniel. I miss those days.
I'd love K-Mart on the Knicks! Tough defender who can still go up and frigging dunk the ball, as evidenced by his stint with the Clippers last season.
If we pull this off, Grunwald should look into signing Kerry Kittles and Luscious Harris as well.

In a mixed martial arts battle with obvious bad blood, preceded by a weigh-in dust-up Friday evening, Paco "The Texas Punisher" Castillo held Angel Castillo in check just enough to earn a split decision at 10:25 p.m., nearly four hours into the 12-bout evening of pro and amateur fights.
Prior to the main bout, the events center crowd had plenty to cheer about, from pro to amateur fighter and from international fighters to punishing combatants right down the road.
The loudest local cheers went to Force of One's Roy Saucedo, who left no doubt with a submission win 2:59 into the first round against Amarillo's Tanner Varela.
"If he didn't open up quick, I was going to just attack," said Saucedo, who moved to 3-0 on his career. "It didn't matter if it was standing or on the ground; I was going to get him."
Saucedo fought with a heavy heart, telling the crowd that a little more than a month ago, he had lost his wife, Ernestina Bara, and he had dedicated the fight to her.
Bara, Saucedo's common-law wife for seven years, died in a one-vehicle rollover near Bovina on Oct. 30.
Another local fighter, Marc Hightower, rallied against Albuquerque-based John Sparks. After Hightower was put to the ground on an inadvertent eye poke — and given ample recovery time — he fought off hold after hold to take the split decision.
"That was the best fight I've ever had," Hightower said to the crowd. "John Sparks, you are an awesome fighter."
In one of the night's upsets, Brad "Carbomb" Nordquist defeated Eric Kucevic on a reverse choke hold in the second round of a fight where both fighters needed a minute after matching groin shots.
"That was the longest 3:39 of my damn life," said Nordquist, who gave Kucevic an embrace during the match after the referees cleared them to fight again.
Saturday also marked a long time for a Tucumcari fighter — the end of a significant journey. Jeremiah Cullum, 18, defeated Plainview's Jonathan Lopez in the 125-pound weight class with the night's only heel hook 50 seconds into the second round.
"Jonathan was going to be the best fighter I've ever faced," Cullum said of the formerly 7-0 Lopez. "I put in a really hard training camp, and I'm glad it paid off."
After the fight, his father John presented him with Cullum Ground Fighting's black belt. Jeremiah, known as "The Tick," had spent many years watching the success of his brother Abel — who did fight commentary throughout — and living up to his father John's high training standards.
"It's amazing what a bag hanging outside on a tree can bring you to," said Jeremiah, who spent 10 years earning the black belt. "It's whenever (my father) decides; it's a tough bar."
In other fights Saturday:
• Jorrel Sparenberg of Hobbs won the opener in a unanimous decision against Andres Ramirez in the 135-pound class.
• Christian Reyes won his fight over Justin Dudley when the referee stopped matters 2:22 into the second round.
• Anthony Rozema of Tucson, Ariz., won his MMA debut, taking advantage of a significant reach advantage against Matt Gonzales of Amarillo.
• Harvey Suarez defeated Eric Bailon of Clovis when the referee stopped the match 2:21 into the second.
• Michael Escobar took a split decision over Portales' Peter Bouton.
• Daniel Pinheiro defeated Filberto Ramirez on the pro card opener, with a rear naked choke 2:10 into the first round.

MILFORD, PA — The daughter of a beloved and respected attorney recently returned to Milford to scout potential locations for a movie that will be filmed in the town beginning in fall 2012. The film honors the memory of the father she calls, "the most amazing man I've ever known."
Sidney L. Krawitz was born in Hawley and later lived in Milford, where he practiced law and won the devotion of many who still express fond remembrances of the man. Returning to Milford during the Black Bear Film Festival, Gallagher was deeply moved at the warm and positive responses from many community members at the mention of her father's name.
"I'm privileged to tell this story," said Gallagher. "My father gave so much to so many people."
Krawitz lived to be 90 and died 10 years ago, but left lasting impressions on those who turned to him for help. "He was compassionate, generous, smart, intuitive and had a fabulous sense of humor," said Gallagher. "If he met someone and sensed that they needed a break, he gave it to them."
A similar scenario led to the experience around which Gallagher wrote the screenplay for the film. "Journeys" is based on a true story about love, friendship, betrayal, power and money. The bones of the story are based on actual events.
In 1949, a penniless widow turns to a brilliant young attorney for assistance, but in his determination to help her, he discovers a multi-million dollar estate that forces them both to redefine the meaning of love, trust, family, betrayal and forgiveness.
The film will be shot in and around Milford and possible filming locations under consideration include Grey Towers National Historic Site, the Hotel Fauchere, Pine Forest Camp in Greeley and various homes and other structures in Milford. "This will be a film that is part of this exquisite town," said Gallagher.
"To return to the beautiful place where I grew up and make this film to honor the memory of my amazing father is truly a full circle moment for me," Gallagher said. "Everything I need to shoot this film authentically is still in Milford and the surrounding area, thanks to the wisdom and hard work of the town and county leadership to preserve the architecture, historical buildings and history. And there's the river, the constant river, which is a central character in the tonality of the film."
Gallagher will draw on her extensive musical background to collaborate on the creation of the music for the film and said the river plays a role in this as well. "It's part of the musical journey I'm on, the crafting of this score. The river will be part of it."
Gallagher will be looking for antique autos from the period of 1897 to 1949 for the film. She and the team with which she is working are also seeking funding of 2.5 million to complete the project. The community is invited to contribute or to participate in other ways. "I want the town to know that we can't do it without them," she said.
Gallagher is serving as screenwriter, executive producer and director of the film. She is a seasoned writer and author, producer, musician, business executive, ASCAP composer, lyricist, and SAG/AFTRA actor, is a 2009 Screenwriting Fellow of the American Film Institute and the winner of a 2008 Filmanthrophy Short Film Scholarship and 2009 Sloan Scholarship Award.
Gallagher is president of the film and television production company Moonlight Man Productions, Inc. She also produced the weekly syndicated print column "The Inner Bottom Line" and authored the book "The Nude Ethicist: A Simple Path to The Good Life" in 2004. Now based in Santa Monica, CA, Gallagher can be reached at email@example.com [1] or 323/836.5604.
One of the film's local team members is Troy Bystrom, chairman of the Pocono Film Commission based in Pike County. "The Pocono Film Commission is assisting the production in finding locations and local services for the shoot in the fall of 2012," said Bystrom. "The 2.5 million dollar film will provide local economic development and crew jobs on the production as well as promoting the area in a positive light." Local realtor Davis R. Chant will also assist in funding efforts related to the film. For information contact Bystrom at 646/236-3400 or firstname.lastname@example.com [2].
"This film is my heartbeat," said Gallagher. "It's a great honor to do this in memory of my father. We want this to be a satisfying and joyful experience for everyone involved."

- "Trichinosis" is also available in Portable Document Format (PDF, 14KB, 1pg.)
- Versión en español
What is trichinosis?
Trichinosis is a food-borne disease caused by a microscopic parasite.
Who gets trichinosis?
Anyone who eats undercooked meat of infected animals can develop trichinosis. Pork products are implicated more often than other meats.
How is trichinosis spread?
Animals such as pigs, dogs, cats, rats and many wild animals (including fox, wolf and polar bear) may harbor the parasite. When humans eat infected pork that has been improperly cooked, they become infected. Improperly cooked wild animal meat may also be responsible for infecting humans. Person-to-person spread does not occur.
What are the symptoms of trichinosis?
The symptoms usually start with fever, muscle soreness, pain and swelling around the eyes. Thirst, profuse sweating, chills, weakness and tiredness may develop. Chest pain may be experienced since the parasite may become imbedded in the diaphragm (the thin muscle separating the lungs from abdominal organs).
How soon after infection do symptoms appear?
The incubation period varies depending upon the number of parasites in the meat and the amount eaten. It can range from five to 45 days but is usually 10 to 14 days.
Does past infection with trichinosis make a person immune?
Partial immunity may develop from infection.
What is the treatment for trichinosis?
A drug called mebendazole is used in treatment.
What can be the effect of not being treated for trichinosis?
Failure to treat could be fatal.
What can be done to prevent the spread of trichinosis?
The best prevention is to make sure that pork products are properly cooked. The desirable temperature is at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Storing infected meat in a freezer with a temperature no higher than -13 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 days will also destroy the parasite.

Courtesy illustration A grass fire swept across 20,000 acres in Bailey County on Monday.
By Gabriel Monte: CNJ Staff Writer
A dangerous combination of dense grass, high winds and dry weather produced the massive grass fire Monday in Bailey County that burned an area bigger than Clovis, according to Muleshoe City Manager David Brunson.
And more grass fires in the West Texas and eastern New Mexico area are expected if dry conditions persist, according to fire officials.
The fast-moving fire, which started about 3 p.m. (CST) near Muleshoe burned approximately 20,000 acres of mostly rangeland and destroyed one barn before being extinguished around midnight, officials said.
Brunson said heavy springs rains made the rangeland grass thicker than normal, therefore, supplying plenty of fuel for fires.
Clovis Fire Chief Ray Westerman said similar conditions exist in Curry County. He said the county has been fortunate to avoid a major grass fire this winter.
Clovis has received 4.77 inches of precipitation since August, and nearly half of that was in September. The annual average from August through December is 7.94 inches.
"Anytime you've got grasslands on fire, that's dry with high winds, it's just very, very, difficult to try and get it extinguished," he said. "It doesn't matter where you're at."
Portales Fire Chief John Bridges said he expects grass fires to appear regularly as long as the dry conditions persist.
"We're going to have them, we just hope we don't have them on windy days like that," he said. "Because when they're on windy days like that, it makes it really tough to fight those fires."
Bailey County Sheriff Richard Wills said Monday's fire is suspected to have originated near the Coyote Lake Feedyard southeast of Muleshoe and spread east to Texas 214 and northeast to U.S. 84.
Officials closed parts of those roads for about three hours Monday afternoon and evening because of smoke.
Bailey County residents south of Muleshoe were evacuated because of smoke, but allowed to return to their homes after the fire passed.
Wills said about eight homes were evacuated, though he did not know how many people left.
Bailey County Emergency Management Coordinator Terral King said 30 to 40 mph winds fed the fire as it made its way to U.S. 84 just east of Muleshoe.

Gus Henderson, general manager, said the demolition at 3000 N. St. Mary's St. began Dec. 3; he anticipates the dealership will open in April 2013.
The renovated facility will be almost 28,000 square feet and will feature a covered front-entry service drive. Customers can wait in a lounge with a flat-screen television and free wi-fi and watch through a glass viewing area as mechanics service their cars. There will also be a children's area.
A centerpiece of the dealership will be a showroom capable of holding four or five cars, but the service center will occupy the majority of the space at 18,000 square feet.
"Our shop is going to be very large in comparison to most markets our size," Henderson says.
A team of master certified mechanics will service all makes and models – not just the ones the dealership sells. The shop will carry factory parts for all Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles.
"Folks can be sure that they will now be able to have their vehicles serviced locally and on the same day they bring them in," Henderson says.
The Beeville dealership also will be able to handle larger jobs. "We're equipped to be able to service a lot of these vehicles that are specifically used in the oil field," he adds, referring to work in the Eagle Ford Shale.
Maltby Builders of Kingsville will handle the demolition and renovations. Randy Maltby, founder, is working with Blake Fulenwider on the renovation of the service department of the Kingsville dealership. Maltby says he anticipates the Beeville construction will start around the first of the year.
"I know that Dodge is very popular," Albert Vilches, development services director for Beeville, says. "From what I understand, most dealers can't keep white pickups in stock, because the oil field is coming in and taking those away real fast."
A native of Georgetown, Fulenwider graduated from the UT and is the president of Blake Fulenwider Dodge Chrysler Jeep. He has worked in the automotive industry for more than 16 years.
Henderson is a South Texas native who grew up in Live Oak County, just north of Mathis. He graduated from Mathis High School and Texas A&M University and began his automotive career in San Antonio. He most recently served as general manager and partner of Rod East Volkswagen, which has been sold. Henderson and his wife, Amy, will be relocating to Beeville with their son, Charles.

People who work in office buildings along El Paseo de la Reforma stand outside Wednesday after evacuating their offices due to a Gautemala-centered earthquake felt in Mexico City.
Updated at 9:21 p.m. ET: A deadly earthquake off the Pacific coast of Guatemala on Wednesday has killed at least 48 people in two provinces, collapsed buildings, spurred landslides and rattled cities as far away as San Salvador and Mexico City.
Guatemala President Otto Perez Molina told an afternoon news conference that the dead are in the northwestern state of San Marcos near the Mexican border, where the majority of the damage occurred.
Earlier, he also said 100 people were missing and 76,000 were without electric power, NBC News reported.
Landslides blocked roads in some areas, authorities told Reuters, and about 40 houses were severely damaged.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.4 quake struck 28 miles southwest of Champerico, Guatemala, near the border with Mexico. The epicenter was 25 miles below the surface.
CONRED, the government office for reduction of disasters in Guatemala, told NBC News an aerial evaluation of affected neighborhoods was being carried out amid reports of walls collapsing in homes and the loss of power and telephone services.
The manager of the Grand Tikal Futura Hotel in the capital, Guatemala City, told NBC News that she felt a "strong earthquake" but that the building had sustained no damage and guests were returning to their rooms.
A Reuters witness in Guatemala City said people were evacuating homes in parts of the capital, and firefighters and rescue workers were on alert. Office workers were also evacuating buildings in Mexico City and in the capital of the Mexican state of Chiapas, across the border from Guatemala.
"It was really big, I felt quite nauseous,'' secretary Vanessa Castillo, 32, who was evacuated from her 10th-floor office in Guatemala City, told Reuters.
Building janitor Jorge Gamboa said, "I was in the bathroom. When I came out the office was empty and I thought, 'what's happening? They didn't even say goodbye.'''
The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was a possibility of a local tsunami, within 100 or 200 miles of the epicenter, but they were not issuing an immediate warning for the broader region.
The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Saddleback College participates in the Federal Direct Loan Program and does not offer private loans or participate in private or alternative loan programs.
The Higher Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 requires institutions of higher education to develop and enforce a code of conduct that prohibits conflicts of interest for financial aid personnel. Accordingly, Saddleback College has created the following code of conduct.
The policy applies to all employees who work in the Financial Aid Office and all other school employees, officers, and agents who have responsibilities with respect to education loans.
1. Ban on revenue-sharing arrangement with any lender. All employees are banned from participating in a "revenue-sharing arrangement" between the institution and lender under which the lender makes Title IV loans to students attending the institution.
2. Ban on employees of the financial aid office receiving gifts from a lender, guaranty agency or loan servicer. No financial aid officer or employee of the institution may solicit or accept any gift from a lender, guarantor or servicer of education loans. A "gift " is defined as any gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, or other item having monetary value of more than a de minimus amount.
3. Ban on contracting arrangements. No officer or employee of the institution's financial aid office may accept from a lender, or an affiliate of any lender, any fee, payment, or other financial benefit as compensation for any type of consulting arrangement or contract to provide service to or on behalf of a lender relating to education loans.
4. Prohibition against steering borrowers to particular lenders or delaying loan certifications. For any first-time borrower, an employee of the institution's financial aid office may not assign, through the award packaging or other methods, the borrower's loan to a particular lender.
5. Prohibition on offers of funds for private loans. The institution may not request or accept from any lender any offer of funds for private loans, including funds for an opportunity pool loan, to students in exchange for providing concessions or promises to the lender for a specific number of Title IV loans made, insured, or guaranteed; a specified loan volume; or a preferred lender arrangement. An "opportunity pool loan" is defined as a private education loan made by a lender to a student that involves a payment by the institution to the lender for extending credit to the student.
6. Ban on staffing assistance. The institution may not request or accept from any lender any assistance with call center staffing or financial aid office staffing, except that a lender may provide professional development training, and educational counseling materials.
7. Ban on advisory board compensation. Any employee of the institutions financial aid office who serves on an advisory board, commission, or group established by a lender or guarantor is prohibited from receiving anything of value from the lender, guarantor, or group.
*This Code of Conduct pertains to any alternative/private loans

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
January 23, 2014
The College of Business Administration has launched an annual essay contest for El Paso's high school students. Each year the College's Center for Multicultural Management and Ethics will be asking El Paso area high school students to participate in the Skov Essay Competition on Business Ethics by writing about a topic that challenges them to consider how ethical issues relate to business. This year's topic is: "How can we contribute to shaping ethical business practices in our community?"
The College of Business Administration created the competition as a way to consistently interact with the community and positively influence the ethical climate in the El Paso region. Primary funding for the competition has been generously provided by Robert E. and Jacqueline Skov. Given the excitement from the business community surrounding the competition, the College was also able to secure additional funding from the United Bank of El Paso del Norte, thanks to the commitment of Les Parker, the bank's chairman, president, and chief executive officer.
For the first-annual competition, the College has invited senior students from seven of El Paso's high schools to participate—Austin, Bel Air, Bowie, Chapin, Coronado, El Paso, and Jefferson. The competition will monetarily award six participants for their work, with cash prizes that range from $50 to $1000 (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, plus three honorable mentions). Student essays are due February 3, 2014, after which they will be anonymously scored by a team of College of Business Administration faculty. The participating schools and competition winners will be notified by March 31, 2014 and the First-Annual Skov Essay Competition on Business Ethics Awards Ceremony will take place during the University of Texas at El Paso College of Business Administration graduation ceremony in May 2014.
A complete description of the competition, including its official rules, guideline, and description of prizes, is available at: academics.utep.edu/cmme

I've been lucky to have never really dealt with nipple soreness, outside of 2 milk blisters while I was on maternity leave. But all of a sudden, at 9.5 months, my nipples get irritated fairly early into a feeding. I've inspected them and they look completely normal.
What gives? And nope..definitely not preggo.

Hello to all. I am new to this site.. Mother of 3, ages 3 1/2, 19 months and 5 weeks.
So let me preface my need with this: I am not a fan of breastfeeding. I do it only because I know it is what's best for my baby. I suffered through 6 weeks of inexperienced breastfeeding with my oldest, only got through 1 week with my second, but here I am DETERMINED to last it out to at least 3 months with my third. I have been breastfeeding exclusively for 5 weeks. I am quite proud of myself for not giving up yet.
Here is my problem... My son, who's 5 weeks today, has over the past couple days lost his latch. I have continuously worked with him each feeding to get him to latch on correctly. I have worked with a lactation consultant since day 1 to ensure our success. But today has been so difficult. No matter how wide he opens his mouth he still ends up only getting my nipple in his mouth. I pull him off and try again time and time again each feeding, but to very little avail. I am not doing anything differently. The one or two times he has actually gotten a good latch (today) is still no comfort.. He seems to be doing something weird with his tongue and my nipple. This is the part of breastfeeding that I don't like... The nipple stimulation. So it has been very hard for me today. I don't know what he's doing or how to fix it.. But if he doesn't correct himself I don't know that I can hang in there much longer. Which is frustrating. I've come this far and have worked hard to get here and I don't want to have to stop breastfeeding over something like this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It turns out, you don't have to hit the genetic lottery to be an attractive person.
Thanks to several studies on sex and attraction, Business Insider found 12 grooming tips, attitude adjustments, and other fixes for both men and women that are proven to make you more appealing.
Take a look at 12 ways to make yourself more attractive.
12. Keep your teeth pearly white. A study from researchers at the British universities of Leeds and Central Lancashire confirmed that white and evenly spaced set of teeth make people seem more attractive.
11. Eat your fruits and vegetables for glowing skin. Eating more fruits and vegetables is a natural way to make your skin look more attractive, a study from PLoS ONE showed.
10. Women should smile more. Happiness is the most attractive emotion in females, a study called "Happy Guys Finish Last: The Impact of Emotion Expressions on Sexual Attraction" showed.
9. Guys need to brood a little more. Brooding and swaggering men are much more attractive than men who are smiling, according to a study from the University of British Columbia.
8. Women should play dumb (only if they're looking for something fun and not serious). In a study published in Evolution and Human Behavior, graduate students at the University of Texas–Austin found that that men were most attracted to women who appeared "dimwitted- or immature," for a one-night stand.
7. Guys should shave their beards. Women rated men with bearded faces as less attractive in a recent study in the Oxford Journal.
6. Women should also keep red lipstick handy. A woman's lips are the most attractive part of her body, especially when colored with red lipstick, a study from Manchester University revealed.
5. Men should play hard to get. A study in Psychological Science showed that women found a man more attractive when she wasn't sure how strongly he felt about her, as opposed to when she was certain he was very interested in her.
4. Guys should pick up a shirt with a "T" (seriously). Researchers found that when men wore white t-shirts with a large black letter "T" printed on the front, women found them 12% more attractive. The scientists suggested that the shirt creates an illusion that broadens the shoulders and slims the waist, producing a more V-shaped body that women found sexy.
3. Women should use a higher-pitched voice. Forget everything you know about a husky voice being considered sexy — women should use a higher-pitched voice when speaking to a man they're interested in.
2. Men need to take a deep breath and relax. Women find less-stressed men substantially more attractive than their more-stressed out rivals, a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B journal found.
To read more about the ways you can make yourself more attractive, click here.
1. Everyone should go for a ride on a roller coaster. A study from last year revealed that roller coaster riders found their non-romantic co-riders more attractive after a whip around the track, according to The Daily Mail.

Grand Valley Trustees adopt budget, set tuition
Posted on July 11, 2014
The Grand Valley State University Board of Trustees adopted the university's FY 2015 budget and set tuition rates for the coming academic year during its July 11 Board of Trustees meeting held at the L. William Seidman Center in Grand Rapids. The tuition increase is the lowest percentage rate and dollar amount in the last 10 years. The increase complies with the state's tuition cap and keeps Grand Valley's tuition in the lower half of all Michigan universities. The budget substantially raises financial aid for students and their families.
Trustees voted to increase tuition by $149 per semester. This brings annual tuition to $10,752 for a full-time undergraduate Michigan resident. The budget includes $38 million for student financial aid, an increase of $3.1 million that becomes available for students in scholarships and grants.
"We are concerned with quality and affordability for our students," said Shelley Padnos, chair of the Board of Trustees. "This budget achieves a balance that will help students graduate and find jobs. We have increased financial aid, helping students borrow less, and we were able to keep tuition costs manageable. I always like to remind students and their families to look at the bill in dollars, not the percentage increase in tuition. Grand Valley still charges less than most Michigan universities."
The university is expected to receive state funding of $63 million; some of the funding is the result of Grand Valley's best-in-class performance. The state's share of Grand Valley's budget is 18 percent, meaning students and their families pay 82 percent. Trustees earmarked the entire state allocation for student financial aid, debt service, maintenance and utilities for classroom buildings.
President Thomas J. Haas said he applauds lawmakers tying funding to performance because Grand Valley and its students benefit.
"The state is investing again in higher education and demanding outcomes, which serves Grand Valley well," Haas said. "We have been judged best in class, and we are now able to share the increase in the state's investment in Grand Valley with our students. The state's recognition of our performance has allowed us to hold down tuition and increase financial aid. This is welcome news for our hard-working students."
Grand Valley is responsible for a nearly 30 percent increase in college graduates in Michigan in the last 10 years. Of Grand Valley's most recent graduates, nearly 85 percent are employed or in graduate school, or both. Of those working, 90 percent are employed in Michigan.
The budget passed by the board also includes a modest three percent wage increase for faculty and staff members.
For additional information highlighting Grand Valley's performance, visit www.gvsu.edu/accountability.
For a chart detailing tuition at Michigan universities, visit http://gvsu.edu/s/FD
In other board action:
The Board of Trustees approved a new major in entrepreneurship. The program is designed to provide undergraduate students in the Seidman College of Business with a broad, highly applicable set of skills that will serve as a springboard for those who wish to start, run or grow their own personal or family-owned business. The entrepreneurship double major will give students a well-rounded experience and the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in an established business or start their own venture. The new major will meet the business community's demand for students with more entrepreneurial skills.
The Board of Trustees also approved the authorization of Light of the World Academy in Pinckney, a charter school that will serve grades K-6 in its first year and grades K-8 at full capacity. The school is expected to serve 360 students at full capacity. The board also approved a resolution for appointment or reappointment of charter school board members to Grand Valley-authorized public school academy boards.
David S. Hooker was elected as chair of the Board of Trustees, and John C. Kennedy was elected as vice chair. Hooker's mother, Judith Hooker, served as board chair from February 1995-February 1997.
Hooker was appointed to the board in 2011. Hooker is president of Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. Kennedy was appointed to the board in 2011. Kennedy is president of Autocam Corporation.

Outdoors Vt.: GMP seeks nominees for Zetterstrom AwardBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | February 07,2013Steve Costello / GMP
Meeri Zetterstrom probably had no intention of becoming a standard bearer for conservation work when she took up the plight of her beloved osprey at Lake Arrowhead on the border of Milton and Georgia.
But after Vermont's osprey had nearly been extirpated from the state nearly a half-century earlier, Zetterstrom was among the first to watch the osprey return to Arrowhead.
And she knew they needed help.
So she started poking and prodding the Fish & Wildlife Department.
By 1988 the state wildlife department had partnered with Central Vermont Public Service to install artificial nesting platforms and create buffer zones to protect the nesting efforts. Green Mountain Power started similar efforts.
They also started working to educate the public about the plight of the osprey and producing educational materials.
One of those early converts was Steve Costello, who at the time worked for CVPS, and who worked with Zetterstrom on osprey conservation.
Today, with the two companies merged, Costello is a vice president with GMP and still a fan of the osprey and involved in conservation efforts. During warmer months, he can often be found floating in his kayak hoping for another photo of an osprey to add to his growing collection of spectacular shots.
"Meeri had an innate ability to connect people with nature and explain the importance of conservation and wildlife preservation," Costello said. "She inspired me personally and helped start and lead a statewide conversation that led directly to the preservation and recovery of ospreys, and ultimately their removal from Vermont's endangered species list."
Zetterstrom's dogged pursuit of osprey recovery paid off. About a decade after the Fish & Wildlife Department and CVPS and GMP began their efforts, the first osprey chick in memory hatched and fledged at Lake Arrowhead.
Seven years after that, the osprey was removed from the Vermont Endangered Species List.
Zetterstrom died in 2010, but her legacy lives on and GMP honors that legacy every year by rewarding someone in her name for their environmental efforts.
Three Vermonters have been honored and a fourth will be named this year as Green Mountain Power awards the 2013 GMP-Zetterstrom Environmental Award.
Nominations are being taken for an individual, business, group or nonprofit that has made a significant contribution to Vermont's environment.
The winner will receive a $2,500 donation to the winner's cause

"Transylvania offers personal instruction, great band programs, and ample opportunities to perform."
"Musical expression is meant to convey meaning to the listener," Scott Heersche says. But it's up to the musician to deliver the message.
Heersche encourages students to consider the meaning of each musical phrase. The chemistry between music and meaning isn't so hard to concoct, though. For Heersche, it's simple. "Sound is everything, and music emerges from it. Visualize the sound and the melody and all else follows."
It's also important for students to focus on the fundamentals, and then work on technique to support those fundamentals. Heersche enjoys seeing students develop the confidence that enables them to relish their craft.
In addition to teaching trumpet at Transylvania, Heersche is the full-time pastor of worship for Centenary Church, where he directs choirs, leads singing for services, and enjoys writing original songs for worship. When not spending time with his family, you might find him on the golf course.
