How Quickly Will Caltrans Embrace Complete Streets Guidelines?
Though it may seem esoteric, one of the biggest impediments to designing streets for people is the over-reliance on design standards that have long privileged movement of vehicles over any other consideration on the streets. That's why advocates cheered when U.S. DOT Secretary Ray LaHood published a policy paper recently that, at least in word, placed bicycles and pedestrians on equal footing with motorists.
"Every transportation agency, including DOT, has the responsibility to improve conditions and opportunities for walking and bicycling and to integrate walking and bicycling into their transportation systems," read one line of the statement.
Yet, an advisory policy paper won't change the streets overnight and that's where reforming the design manuals and guidelines at state departments of transportation is imperative, work that groups like Congress for New Urbanism have made a priority at the national level.
Various cities in California that have tried to rebuild their streets to be safer for pedestrians and bicycle riders have often been met with resistance from traffic engineers and city attorneys who rely on Caltrans manuals and standards that are good for moving traffic, not always for protecting vulnerable users.
"The Caltrans Highway Design Manual [HDM] has been the bible for highway engineers for the past half century and has guided the development of California's freeway system," said Hans Larsen, Acting Director of San Jose's Department of Transportation. "Unfortunately, the HDM has also become the default gospel for designing local streets by many city engineers."
Larsen said the standards that make freeways good for carrying large quantities of vehicles at high speeds are not context appropriate on most streets in urban areas. "Even today, the Caltrans HDM continues to promote such commandments as 'a design speed as high as feasible should be used' and 'the basic lane width shall be 12 feet,'" he said.

Kristin Chenoweth Glitters In A Sequined Backless Gown
Kristin Chenoweth attended the Trevor Project's 2012 Trevor Live! gala over the weekend, and she stood out on the red carpet in a glittering metallic gown that showed off her tiny figure (she's reportedly just under 5 feet tall - or should we say, short?)
The actress, 44, was in great spirits and appears to have recovered after being "knocked out cold" on the set of CBS' hit drama "The Good Wife" over the summer. She was hospitalized and had to receive physical therapy after a lighting rig fell on her during filming.
The actress is reportedly dating "The Bachelor" star Jake Pavelka, 34. The twosome were spotted out and about together in November and in a cafe in Texas over the weekend, according to TMZ.com.

Attorney General Cuomo Criticizes Anheuser-busch For Irresponsibly Targeting Youth With Alcohol Energy Drinks
New York (May 10, 2007) - Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo today criticized Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. for promoting alcohol energy drinks containing caffeine and other stimulants without warning consumers about the health risks posed by these products. Raising specific concerns about the illegible labels, Cuomo called on the company to provide readable warnings about the risks of mixing energy drinks with alcohol.
In a letter to Anheuser-Busch, Attorney General , along with 29 other state attorneys general, noted that medical doctors and public health professionals have warned that combining caffeinated energy drinks with alcohol – a practice popular among young people – poses significant health and safety risks. The stimulant in the energy drink may skew a person's sense of alertness – without reducing the adverse effect of the alcohol on that person's motor skills or ability to react quickly.
"These alcoholic energy drinks are promoted and packaged in a way that is highly attractive to underage youth," said Attorney General Cuomo. "Drinks such as Spykes appeal to children but their caffeine content dangerously masks the effects of the alcohol. If Anheuser-Busch is going to hold itself out as a partner in the fight against underage drinking, then it must stop marketing these types of drinks that so strongly appeal to underage youth."
Anheuser-Busch's caffeinated alcoholic beverages include Spykes, TILT and Bud Extra. These drinks with a caffeine kick are similar in nature to non-alcoholic energy drinks currently popular with youth under 21. They are primarily marketed on websites featuring music particularly popular with young people.
Spykes is available only in fruit and chocolate flavors, and comes in small, attractive, brightly colored, plastic containers that can be easily concealed in a pocket or purse. Advertisements for Spykes, TILT and Bud Extra also tout the products' caffeine content and other additives that youth are likely to associate with popular non-alcoholic energy drinks. Spykes contains 12 percent alcohol by volume – more than twice that of most flavored malt beverages and beers.
Spykes and similar drinks are sold inexpensively because they are designated as flavored malt beverages. Additionally, several states allow these drinks to be distributed to grocery and convenience stores, where they may be more readily seen and purchased by underage youth than if they were sold only in liquor stores.
The Attorneys General believe that these types of alcohol energy drinks must include a warning to consumers about the risks of mixing energy drinks with alcohol. The letter to Anheuser-Busch raises specific concerns about the illegible health warnings on the Spykes product. Recently, the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau made clear that it agreed with these concerns, finding that several Spykes labels violate federal law. Anheuser-Busch has agreed to stop production and to replace the product labels. The Attorneys General call upon the company to act promptly to address their remaining concerns about the production and marketing of these products.

In re: No. 97-3-1545-BTC Chapter 13 RIMON M. SAWAYA and HADIL QIRREH, Debtors. ________________________/
Debtors filed a motion seeking a determination that they are entitled to keep the proceeds of the postpetition sale of certain real property. The chapter 13 trustee David Burchard (Trustee) filed a countermotion seeking a determination that the proceeds of sale must be used to pay off the chapter 13 plan. Melanie M. Darling appeared for Debtors. Adam N. Barasch appeared for Trustee. Upon due consideration, and for the reasons set forth below, I determine that Debtors are entitled to retain the proceeds.
Debtors' confirmed chapter 13 plan provides that Debtors will pay Trustee $875 per month for 60 months. The plan also provides that Debtors must sell real property at 847 Thornhill Drive, Colma, California (the Property) by April 4, 1999, and pay all liens against the Property from the proceeds of sale. After Debtors defaulted in making monthly plan payments, the plan was modified to suspend payments for several months and increase future payments from $875 per month to $1,175 per month. When Debtors again failed to make monthly payments and failed to sell the Property by the sale deadline, Debtors moved to reduce payments to $900 per month and to extend the sale deadline. Trustee moved to dismiss the case. Both motions were continued several times and were never submitted to the court for decision. The Property was finally sold on March 15, 2000. The net proceeds after payment of all liens against the Property total $27,792. Trustee contends that these sale proceeds should be used to pay off the chapter 13 plan immediately. Debtors contend that they are only required to bring plan payments current and that they may keep the excess proceeds and pay their remaining obligations over the remaining term of the plan.
The principal question is whether the plan requires that the proceeds from sale of the Property be used to pay all remaining plan obligations, or only to pay off the liens against the Property. The plan provides in relevant part "liens will remain to 847 Thornhill Dr. and that property will be sold no later than two years from filing date and liens paid by proceeds as available." Debtors argue that this language clearly provides that only the liens against the Property need be paid from the proceeds of sale. Trustee argues that two circumstances suggest that this language be interpreted to require that sale proceeds be used to pay off all remaining plan obligations. Trustee first notes that he objected to confirmation on the basis that the plan was not feasible, because the plan originally contained no sale deadline and Debtors would be unable to make all required payments without selling the Property. Trustee next notes that Debtors have repeatedly failed to make the payments specified in the plan and that it is unlikely that Debtors will complete the plan unless the sale proceeds are used to pay off the plan.
I find that the plain language of the plan requires Debtors to pay only the liens against the Property from the proceeds of sale, and that the circumstances cited by Trustee do not support a contrary interpretation of the plan. At the time Trustee objected to confirmation, the parties believed that the Property had no value in excess of the liens against it. Thus, the Trustee's objection does not suggest that the parties expected that sale proceeds would be used to pay off any claims other than the liens against the Property. That Debtors have repeatedly failed to make plan payments since confirmation may be the basis for a motion to modify the plan to require an immediate payoff, but it is not relevant in determining the parties' intent at the time the plan was confirmed, and Trustee's papers state expressly that he is not seeking modification of the plan.
It is not clear whether Debtors still seek to modify the current plan to reduce the plan payments from $1,175 to $900 per month. To the extent they do so, the motion is denied. In obtaining substantial cash proceeds from the sale of the Property, Debtors have an unexpected ability to pay off the plan earlier than originally anticipated. It is undisputed that Debtors have repeatedly failed to make the payments called for in their own plan. By requesting that the plan be modified to reduce the monthly payment while permitting them to retain the sale proceeds, Debtors request that the existing terms of the plan be modified to reflect their decreased ability to make monthly payments, but not to reflect their increased ability to pay creditors through a lump-sum payment. Debtors are not entitled to equitable relief because they do not do equity themselves.
My comments at the hearing notwithstanding, I do not address at this time whether Debtors' "zero percent" plan requires Debtors to make payments to unsecured creditors to the extent the plan payments called for in paragraph 1 of the plan exceed the amount needed to pay secured and priority creditors. It is not clear that issue is ripe, and the parties have not had an adequate opportunity to brief the issue.
Debtors' motion for permission to use sale proceeds is granted. Debtors' motion to modify the plan is denied. Trustee's motion to compel payoff of the plan is denied. This order is without prejudice to any future motion of Trustee to modify the plan or to dismiss the case for failure to perform under the plan.

A shutout engineered by the likes of Jeff Karstens, Chris Resop, Tim Wood, and Joel Hanrahan.
A 1-0 win in Houston, where the Bucs had lost 19 of 22 and 9 straight.
The 18th road win of the season, surpassing last season's total.
And a 33-33 overall record…the latest point in the season the Pirates have been at .500 this decade/century/millennium.
The historical nuggets just keep on coming. Whether or not it will last is anybody's guess, but this sure has been a blast. These games are legitimately meaningful every single night (hey, the Bucs are just four back in the division and wild card). That's more than enough to thrill a fanbase that mostly checks out in mid May, as well as a guy like me that can hardly even remember 1999.
The Bucs won this game the same way they've won many others this year: lights-out pitching. Jeff Karstens came into the game with the lowest ERA on the starting rotation and certainly showed no intention of changing that, lowering it all the way to an incredible 2.66. He's gone to borderline losing a roster spot to best 5th starter in baseball to best starter on the team to 5th in the NATIONAL LEAGUE in ERA. Unreal. Jeff was fantastic again tonight, working quickly, throwing strikes at an incredible rate (no un intentional walks in his last 37.2 innings), and going pretty deep in to the game once again (6.2 innings). The most handsome man in baseball allowed a mere three hits and struck out three Astros.
The bullpen held down the fort. Chris Resop finished the seventh by painting the black with a beautiful K. Tony Watson got an out in the eighth, then gave way to Tim Wood. Wood got into some trouble but Jose Veras bailed him out, and Joel Hanrahan had his usual clean ninth inning.
The Bucs didn't do much with their bats, obviously, but got enough done in the second inning. Neil Walker singled, moved to second on a wild pitch, and scored when Garrett Jones hammered a 3-0 offering into right. Bud Norris was very sharp and had no trouble setting down the Bucs after that (although they botched a few really good chances), and the offensive woes continue to be worrisome. Not on the night that the team moves up to .500, though.
Pirates 1, Astros 0 / Box / 2011 Record: 33-33 / 4th in NLC / Next: Wednesday, at Astros, 8:05
MVP: Karstens (+.353) / LVP: T Wood (-.164) / Key plays: Veras' two flyouts (tied)

Bikini Soft Smooth Shave Oil reduces skin irritation, razor burn, nicks, cuts, scratches and ingrown hairs. It's made from a mixture of all natural oils and skin softeners that moisturize and lubricate. Bikini Soft replaces all creams, soaps, gels, lotions and moisturizers!
Bikini Soft provides a super smooth razor glide and can help reduce or eliminate razor bumps! The shaving oil provides the ultimate lubricant for shaving enabling a close shave, particularly in sensitive areas such as bikini lines and underarms.
Since shaving began, soap and water have been used as primary lubricants. Shaving creams evolved to provide a thicker base for shaving in hopes of softening the hair and to provide lubrication. However, most shaving creams provide minimal lubricant to the hair and the skin as well as hinder your ability to see what you are shaving. Bikini Soft resolves these issues by lubricating the skin and softening the hair shaft with transparent natural oils derived from plants which leave your skin soft and smooth.
Another awesome products is the Razor Saver Oil. The natural oil coats your razor's blades with an easy to use brush applicator. This prevents your razor from rusting, which saves you money and reduces your carbon footprint.
Shaving doesn't dull your razor, oxidation is the culprit. The combination of water and air on steel causes oxidation (or rust). In fact, the period between shaves does more damage to your razor than the shave itself. Exposure to moist air corrodes blades quickly, leading to a jagged edge resulting in nicks and cuts. Bikini Soft Razor Saver Oil has been shown to slow the effects of oxidation and extend blade life up to 300%.
BOTH of these products can also double as a great cuticle oil!
Most importantly, Bikini Soft has a 30 day, 100% money back guarantee. If you're not happy for any reason, simply return it for a full refund, no questions asked.
Enter to win a FREE half ounce bottle of Bikini Soft Smooth Shave Oil! It's a decent size because you only need 8-10 drops per shave, so this should give you about 40 shaves. Enter here.
You must be 18 or older to win. US residents only. Ends 9/26/13 at 11:59 pm PST. By entering, you agree to the official rules.

Salsa Verde Mac and Cheese
From the dawn of time, or at least my time, my favorite meal was always mac and cheese. My dad was the only person I would trust to make even boxed mac and cheese just the right way – still gooey and totally runny. I detest dry mac. Fast forward 20 years – and I'm a big girl who can make her own mac and cheese. Better yet – make it from scratch.
A couple months ago Ben and I visited Portland for a food cart marathon and after a full day of foot carting it up decided we still needed dinner. (Gluttons!) Since I was in town one of my blogging idols and I decided we needed to do dinner. You may know her as Lauren.
I was a bundle of nerves the whole time. (Play it cool, Megan…) Hanging with Lauren, her husband and their positively adorable daughter was the highlight of my trip. (Adorable baby hormones, Activate!) Ben and Gordon talked planes whilst Lauren and I formulated a plan to stay firmly planted on the ground cooking while the boys go Maverick and Goose on us.
In between bites of pulled pork, endless conversation and trying to win one round of "Crazy Eyes" with Lauren's daughter (she won, btw ) I tried to study and reconstruct the mac and cheese that was my side dish.
With the massive pulled pork sandwich I couldn't finish consuming (but oh dear Lawd it was insane to the nth degree), there was no room to pack in the rest of my chili verde mac and cheese without unbuttoning my jeans. You can't take me anywhere. What I couldn't eat of that mac and cheese was boxed up and carried back to our friends place for a presumable hangover lunch the next day. But what did I do when I left Portland? Left the mac and cheese leftovers In. Portland!
Panic insued. I wanted to study this mac and cheese. Get to know it. Take it all in. Make out with it. Call it cute little pet names. It was just that damn good. So all attempts were made to recreate it from memory. I give you salsa verde mac and cheese.
If you knew me a year ago you may have stumbled into a recipe I posted for Crab Mac and Cheese that was mind blowingly out of this realm. Ben hoovered it, I hoovered, my jeans shrank and I was in a near comatose state of carbaholic bliss. Food sin at it's finest.
As spring emerges in Seattle we are forced to cope with bi-polar weather that fluctuates like Kristie Alley's waistline. It's sunny and almost something you can consider "warm" one minute and then raining and 50 the next. On one of said rainy days the only meal that would satisfy the pang and urge for cold weather comfort food was mac and cheese. After sourcing a pair of pork shoulder steaks, they were browned in the dutch oven with a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Then deglazed with a secret ingredient.
Tequila. 'Cause that's how I roll. What up?
The pork was covered in tequila, one 16 ounce jar of medium salsa verde, one seeded and diced jalapeno, 1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth and 2 cloves of minced garlic. With everything in the pot turned to just allow a simmer, it was left to do it's sexy dance for about 2 hours or until the pork can be shredded with a fork. If you feel like cubing your pork before hand, that's fine too – it will speed up the process.
For the mac and cheese, prepping a roux was essential to the cheese sauce thickening properly. Make sure it browns and when your milk is added it comes to a boil. If it doesn't boil it won't thicken. Add a whopping pile of various cheeses to the mix, boil some noodles and finito!
Top the mac and cheese with the salsa verde and ample pieces of pork – and promptly devour. Please remember to take breaths inbetween bites. It's a hazard of the dish – but I can't be held responsible for you keeling over whilst downing a bowl of this.
Salsa Verde Mac and Cheese
An easy rehash of Portland's Podnah's Pit Chili Verde Mac and Cheese without smoking your meat all day long.
Yield: 4-6
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 1/2 Hours
Total Time: 2 Hours
Pork Salsa Verde:
1 pound boneless Pork Shoulder Steaks
1 jar (16 oz) Medium Salsa Verde
1 Jalapeno, deseeded and diced
1/2 cup Chicken Broth
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4-1/3 cup Tequila for deglazing
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Mac and Cheese:
10 ounces Penne Pasta
3 Tbsp Flour
3 Tbsp Butter
1 tsp Powdered Mustard
2 1/2 cup Milk
1/4 tsp Pepper
4 ounces Medium Cheddar, shredded
4 ounces White Cheddar, shredded
4 ounces Havarti, shredded
Pork Salsa Verde:
In large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When oil is heated brown pork shoulder cuts on all sides until browned. (If you wish to cube the meat before hand, feel free. It will reduce cooking time.) When meat is browned on all sides, deglaze pot with tequila. Add in jarred salsa verde, garlic, jalapeno, and chicken broth. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until meat can be pulled apart with forks.
Mac and Cheese:
In separate pot, melt butter and just bring to a simmer, whisk in flour and allow to brown slightly - creating a roux. Temper in milk by adding small amounts at a time whisking constantly. Once milk is completely added in, bring mixture to a boil to ensure roux activates and begins to thicken. Add in powdered mustard, pepper, all cheeses and whisk until completely incorporated. Bring to another slight boil and thicken sauce slightly.
Prepare penne pasta according to package directions. Drain well and pour into cheese mixture, folding to ensure all pasta is properly coated.
Final Assembly:
Plate mac and cheese, spoon pork salsa verde on top. Serve immediately.

Is this even real life? Did you eat this with the sliders? Because if you did…omg, why wasn't I invited for that party!? My hubs is a mac n cheese fanatic. His birthday also happens to be in 9 days. I'm thinking this will be happening in the kitchen…
Um – yeah I totally did – sliders and mac. My dinner guests went ape-shitz over it. Sorry, I just said shit (again.) But they did. He couldn't talk while shoveling it in. hahah So he said (after he took a breathe) if he couldn't talk, it meant it was epic. Make this for hubs, he'll propose all over again. And maybe you'll be the one getting a birthday gift. Just sayin'. hahah
I completely forgot she kept doing her crazy eyes!! Bahaha….come back anytime! 🙂 We loved hanging out with you two!
This is too, too good, Megan. You are a genius, my friend!
Pure genius, I need some of this in my life immediately! I'm starting to learn the Seattle weather is bi polar and I'll be breaking this out on one of these rainy days soon.
Food cart marathoning? This should be an Olympic sport and/or an every day activity. Sounds like you girls had a ton of fun! Your salsa verde mac looks wonderful. I can't get over the pork cooked in tequilla – this is just brilliant. Lately I have been more interested in cooking with alcohol…definitely brings a sort of richness to the meal. Looks great!
This is such a hilarious post (and I'm so jealous of you getting to hang out with Lauren!) and, at the end of all that, you have an awesome carb-loaded dish. I think I love you.
I enjoy salsa with so many creamy, gooey dishes but never thought to top mac 'n cheese with it! This is brilliant and looks so tasty. Thanks for sharing, Megan!
I would have never have thought to pair salsa verde with mac n' cheese, but this is just another reason why the internet brought us together. YUM.
I would probably cry if I left my mac n' cheese leftovers behind. haha
Drool…..This recipe is fabulous. Mac and Cheese owns me.
Yum, I love any variation of mac and cheese but this might just be my favorite! And cute casserole dishes. I have the same one in orange 🙂
uh, i saw this and i was like 'holy crap, she's a genius' and i'm so glad i know that genius 😉 I love Lauren — I must hang out with you two soon!!
Mmm love this twist on mac and cheese, looks great!
Not sure where to start with this one. Ah-Mazing!!! My husband would flip for this!
HOLY. MOLY. Can I come over for a bog bowl of this????
Mac and cheese is my weakness! My oh my I would have been wanting to study too! Looks good!

Actor Fred Willard was taken into custody by Los Angeles Police late Wednesday night on suspicion of engaging in a lewd act at an adult theater in Hollywood. According to TMZ, the funny man's private parts were exposed.
Keep reading more on Fred Willard's willie exposing ways… after the jump!
Vice officers who were on duty spotted the 72-year-old actor "engaged in a lewd act" at the Tiki Theater on Santa Monica Boulevard. Apparently, it's pretty routine for cops to monitor adult theaters and respond to complaints. Thing is, no one complained. These cops just happened to recognize the actor and then saw him exposed.
First of all, weird. Second of all, does Willard NOT have internet?
He was booked and released on his own recognizance, with bail set at $500.
You know Willard as Ron Burgundy's boss in "Anchorman" and from his roles in "This Is Spinal Tap" and "Wall-E."

What To Look For When Researching RMM Solutions
Being a Managed service provider is a tough job. It takes endless hours of hard work, dedication and lots of patience. Add to that a complicated RMM software, and the poor IT guy is doomed! I've been to a lot of IT/MSP trade shows and seminars recently and have spoken to numerous MSPs. The one common pain I have heard about is how challenging it is to use RMM software due the fact that the solution was overly convoluted to use. When doing research for RMM tools, the biggest struggle is finding the one solution that can includes the following features: Is it SaaS based? Most Managed Service providers have way too many devices to manage. On top of that, the headache of managing a server that runs the RMM platform is an overkill ... read more
All you need to know about hard disk images
What is disk image file Disk image is a file storing a full copy of a disk. It should be noted that an image file stores the full content of a disk, including the filesystem structure. In other words, the disk image is a usual disk having no the physical body. People working in computer repair business often deal with disk image files since it is much safer to create a disk images and work with them than to worry about client's data operating with the real disks. More than that, physically damaged hard disks have to be imaged without fail. Disk image vs disk clone Apart from disk image files, there are disk clones. Let's discuss what is the difference between these. The disk image is an exact copy of the disk stored as a file, while a ... read more

Chemistry is called the central science because of its applicability to so many other areas. Chemistry is the study of the composition and properties of substances. Biochemistry focuses on the substances found in living systems. The practical value of chemistry and biochemistry is recognized through their impact on daily human living. Current health, social and political problems are more readily understood by people who have knowledge of basic chemistry and biochemistry.
Prominent Careers
Career opportunities for chemists have never been greater. As a chemist, you could find yourself working in an environmental laboratory protecting our environment, in a pharmaceutical company synthesizing new medicines or in a company developing new processes to manufacture the materials society needs to function.
According to the most recent annual salary and employment survey conducted by the American Chemical Society (Chemical and Engineering News, 2014):
- The median salary for chemists is $95,000
- 52% of chemists work in industry
- 39% work in academia
- 7.5% work in the government
The majority of chemists work in the industry. A 2008 survey found that more than 62% of chemists are employed by industry (including more than 82% of respondents with a bachelor's as their highest degree), whereas 29% are in academia and less than 8% have government jobs. The survey found that the greatest portion of nonacademic chemists, 26.9%, work in the pharmaceutical industry.
If you are interested in a health-related field such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy or veterinary medicine, a degree in chemisty, in addition to biology courses, will satisfy the curricular entrance requirements for professional schools and give you the background that sets the stage for success in these programs.
A graduate degree in chemistry prepares you to enter into leadership roles in research and development laboratories, as well as careers in academia. Generally, financial support for masters and doctoral programs in chemistry include full tuition and fees, and a stipend to teach undergraduate laboratories and/or perform research (although this varies by institution).
The chemistry department uses nationally standardized exams as one measure of assessing student learning. Over the past 10 years Newman chemistry students have consistently outperformed their peers at other institutions. Since Fall 2000, 265 students have completed General Chemistry 2, and 57% of them scored at or above the 50th national percentile. Likewise, 54% of students in organic chemistry and a remarkable 88% of physical chemistry students have exceeded this benchmark.
More Information
Chemistry Club
The Chemistry Club is a service and social organization consisting of a variety of science students. The Club sponsors field trips to local and regional science events and facilities. Some recent outings include an AmTrak trip to Chicago, Ill. to visit the science museums and a trip to the Underground Salt Museum in Hutchinson, Kan. The Chemistry Club also provides tutors and worked to complete a mural project in the Science Building. The chemistry faculty hosts at least one cookout each year in their homes for the Chem Club students.
Research Opportunities
The significant presence of chemical and manufacturing industries in the Wichita area affords numerous opportunities for you to gain practical experience and establish professional relationships that will benefit you in your job search.
Research opportunities at various locations are available during your junior and senior years. Every bachelor of arts or science in chemistry student completes a semester of research.
Classroom Environment
Theories, concepts and models taught in the classroom are reinforced by hands-on access to virtually every major category of instrumentation, from mass spectroscopy to DNA fingerprinting.
The Chemistry Department is located on the lower level of Heimerman Science Center and is led by faculty members with expertise in a variety of areas. The department boasts a collection of chemical instrumentation including an FT-IR, GC-MS, NMR, LC, multiple UV/Vis spectrophotometers, and a capillary GC.
Accreditation Information
The American Chemical Society (ACS) is the preeminent professional society for chemistry and offers accreditation of chemistry programs. While the chemistry program at Newman University is NOT accredited by the American Chemical Society, the curriculum is modeled after the ACS publication, "Undergraduate Professional Education in Chemistry: Guidelines and Evaluation Procedures." Assessment data of the chemistry major demonstrates that the quality, depth and breadth of student learning at Newman University compares very favorably with the ACS expectations.

U of M Hosts 3rd Annual State Robotics CompetitionState tournament time always brings out the best in high school competition. However, on Saturday robots rather than athletes created the edge-of-your-seat drama. The third annual state robotics competition took place at Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus.
Robots Battle At Mall of AmericaIt's machine vs. machine when the Midwest Robotics League returns to the Mall of America for its 2014 regional competition this weekend. The completion features 15-pound robots battling each other in an arena in three-minute matches.

As someone who can hardly tell the difference between a keyboard and a typewriter, German peripheral developer ROCCAT's newest keyboard and mouse are more hardware than I can handle. But if you want—no, need—an unbelievable amount of customization in your PC gaming experience, it's a dream come true. We got to check out the ROCCAT Kone[+] mouse and the Isku keyboard at CES 2012 and walked away very impressed.
The Kone [+] – A Keyboard in a Mouse
ROCCAT's new mouse, the Kone[+] brings a number of great new features to the table. The Kone[+] takes common mouse buttons and adds further functionality. For example, the scroll button is also a button that clicks left, right and down. Indeed, instead of simply cramming an unwieldy fistful of buttons onto the controller, ROCCAT has come up with their own Easy-Shift[+] function that works just like the shift-key on a keyboard—essentially doubling the buttons available.
- VIDEO: Kevin Pereira Goes Hands-On With The Sony Experia Ion And The Samsung DA-E750 Audio Dock At CES 2012
But the most impressive part of the new mouse it its driver software; created in house by ROCCAT. The software—an easy-to-use interface—allows complete and total customization of the mouse. And I do mean complete and total. The driver allows you to adjust sensitivity, create custom macros for different games, and even change the color of the four different lights on the face of the mouse.
The driver comes already packaged with a number of pre-configurations for many of the most popular multiplayer games, and ROCCAT will continue to update these as more titles are released. You can also edit these macros, send them to your friends, and even configure them so the mouse glows a different color when you're using them. And for the nomad gamer, the mouse sports a feature that allows it to optimize itself for whatever surface it's being used on.
I really could talk your ear off about this mouse, but I'll just leave you with one feature that really stuck out for me. What ROCCAT calls their "Easy Aim" button is an ability to map a sensitivity reduction to a button for those moments in-game when you want much more control and accuracy. When sniping someone in Counter-Strike, simply clicking this button would make for a much more controlled shot. And of course, the exact rate of slowdown is adjustable in the driver software.
The Isku – MOAR BUTTONS
Much like the Kone [+], the Isku keyboard is the result of careful and measured planning on button placement, both old and new. The two most noticeable additions off the cuff are three buttons below the spacebar and five keys on the far left side of the keyboard. The keys on the left are designed as macro keys, placed more conveniently than traditional macro keys in the upper right of the keyboard. The three buttons below the spacebar are simply an effort by ROCCAT to utilize the oft-underutilized thumb in PC gaming by offering a little more button love for it.
These keys are all customizable in driver software very similar to that of the Kone [+]. To that end, the Kone [+] also syncs up with the Isku seamlessly. So you can use the shift key on the keyboard instead of the Easy-Shift button on the mouse in order to free up another mouse button if you feel like it.
With 128 keys, the Isku can seem overwhelming, but of course ROCCAT has a solution. If, during your more frenzied gaming sessions, you keep hitting the Windows button and interrupting your game, you can simply disable the button entirely whenever you're playing a certain game. And you certainly don't need to worry about losing your keyboard during the same frenzy—at my demo, one ROCCAT rep shook the entire booth with the keyboard, without it sliding an inch on the table.
The Kone [+] retails at $79.99 and the Isku falls at a reasonable $89.99. For the PC gamer interested in hyper customization of their gaming hardware, ROCCAT has come through in fine style. And for anyone else, the quality of the product may just warrant some looking into. As ROCCAT told me during every stage of my demo, "you can do everything, but you do not have to do it."
How very Zen.

Clovis Christian School practices Thursday at the school in Clovis. (CNJ staff photo: Eric Kluth)
By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
You may need a program to know who's out there this season for the Fort Sumner volleyball team.
The defending Class 1A state champions graduated the bulk of their talent from last year's 23-3 squad which edged Tatum in five games in the title match.
Still, coach Darrell Chenault of District 3-1A rival Elida doesn't see the Vixens dropping off that much.
"Fort Sumner is still the top dog (in the district), followed by Melrose," he said. "The rest of us could end up playing for third place."
Only senior Lindsey Mansell and junior Julie Wood saw significant action on last year's Fort Sumner squad. But coach Lisa McMath said she thinks her team will get better as the season progresses.
"A lot of kids have to develop and step up their level of play, and some of the girls will have to change their roles," she said. "But I think as they adapt (to varsity play), we'll be a better team."
With no seniors on his roster, Chenault played down Elida's chances at dethroning Fort Sumner in the district, but said the Lady Tigers (16-7, 6-2 district in 2004) could be formidable.
"We're going to be young and inexperienced, but I really think we've got about eight girls that can play," he said. "As they get more experience, we'll get better."
Tandee Delk, who led Melrose to a 1A state runnerup finish in 2000, is returning to the sideline at Floyd after a two-year hiatus. She thinks the Lady Broncos may be heard from in District 3-1A.
"I have good athletes," she said. "The girls are hard workers. I'm excited about this year. We have a good group of leaders."
Grady also made a strong showing in 1A last season, rolling through District 4-1A and reaching the state quarterfinals before losing to Fort Sumner.
The Lady Bronchos have some holes to fill from graduation, second-year coach Missi Glover said.
"We've just got to focus on fundamentals and see how it goes," she said. "I think we can be competitive in our district. (Her team) went into last year knowing they could win (district) if they played the way they could."
Clovis Christian, in just its second year of eligibility for the NMAA playoffs, hopes to be able to challenge Grady and Logan in the district.
The Lady Eagles were buoyed by the return of senior setter Mollie Peterson, who sat out volleyball in 2004 to work on her golf game. She finished fifth in the 3-1A state golf tournament in May.
"I've got a good group of girls," veteran CCS coach Ceil Boatman said. "I just feel blessed to be able to work with them."
Perennial Class 2A contender Texico lost four seniors from last year's squad, but longtime Lady Spikers coach Mike Littlejohn thinks his team can make a run at the 2A state tournament in November.
Littlejohn, beginning his 27th season, has led Texico to four state championships — the most recent in 2001 — and five runnerup finishes.
"Since we won it, we've been in the top two or three teams in (2A) every year," he said. "We've been close, but like I told this group, 'It's nice to be in the top three or four, but now we need to take the next step.'"
Texico went 18-4 last season, losing in five games to Estancia in the regional semifinals, and finished 6-0 in District 6-2A. The Lady Spikers will build around seniors Lori Richardson and Erika Autrey, both third-year starters.
"I feel like we're in the top four or five again," Littlejohn said. "I feel we've got a little extra incentive to get there (after falling short the past couple of years)."

Casey's comment "pop that cherry" was funny though, lol!
He recently came back from shooting in NC/SC so that's probably why he hasn't been working on DAYS for awhile. I wished the writers would have Chad do more than being in that coffee house, He needs to be in scenes with his DiMera family- besides with Abigail/Cameron.

Best James Scott interview EVER! This was just full of AWESOME! Loved James' honesty. I cannot believe that Everett and Sweevil were brought up! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was epic! The EJAMI fangirl in me loves an EJ that adores his Samantha but will fuck with everyone else. *sigh*
Poor Casey, he sounds totally disgusted. Poor bastard is stuck in one helluva shitty lame ass story.

Epic interview. Love james
Funny on many levels

Best interview of all time. I'm disappointed to hear that the sweevil isn't back, but this interview kind of makes up for it. Thanks to you and your assistant, Lysie.
Sami is back :wub2:
After Casey's fanfic we should bring him into teamSnark, too.

|FINALLY! An interview that doesn't mince words. Sounds like good times a-coming. James Scott could sell EJami even to me. Maybe. And no editing. This is real! Good job, Lysie!
|Feb 24 2013, 09:31 AM Post #47
|Thanks for the interview. I don't care for either character but it's interesting to hear their 'spin' on things ... mind you Casey has nothing to spin this time around, backburner is exactly where he's at right now.
|Feb 24 2013, 09:58 AM Post #48
okay, I'm admittedly not a big EJ or Everett fan, but this was too funny an interview :lol: (well, I like him with Nicole & did with Arianna & alone)
& if they were to ever go there with Chad and EJ, they better have Will in the middle, that's all I'm saying EJill FTW!
|Feb 24 2013, 11:06 AM Post #49
LOL. Wow, the cast is not excited about anything on the show right now.
Great interviews, lysie.
|Feb 24 2013, 11:13 AM Post #50
Not a fan of either character but this has to be the best James interview in a long time. Not surprised it came from DR.....An Everett mention and all, lmfao....I guess James doesn't like this Ej any more than anyone else does....and it's no surprise as he's said in previous interviews he prefers playing the darker character over the sunshine and rainbows one we see now....
I'm fine with Chad on the backburner....and why do I get a feeling that Abby's virginity will be given to Cameron? FAILURE...not that Chad was a better recipient...but whatever....
Oh yeah and James...we do remember when Sami was a hot mess, the minute that Ej entered the picture we slowly started losing that about her and then she completely transformed herself into heroine 101 with Rafe.....
|Feb 24 2013, 11:45 AM Post #51
I am so glad Chad is on the backburner, I saw ALL I needed to see of him at Gabi's wedding. Now he can just get his troublemaking self right out of town!
And EJ says Sami's bad side is coming back. HMMMMM remindes me of the interview that Galen did at DoD 2011. That was right before she cheated on him. I hope history repeats itself with her cheating on EJ.
I am glad Lysie mentioned Everett too. The fans on this board come up with way better stuff than the writers do, so it's cool when the cast gets to hear about it! You could have told him some of the other names he's been called, but he probably wouldn't have been as happy to hear those. :popcorn:
|Feb 24 2013, 11:55 AM Post #52
great interview thank you.
I love that Sami goes back to her true self with EJ, he does love the good, bad and everything in between and FINALLY she is with a man she can be free to unleash on Salem and not be judged. YAY for grey EJAMI and really looking forward to those scenes of them in bed and her possibly asking him to get rid of Nick, Good stuff is coming our way.
James does love playing darker EJ and now that EJAMI are together, EJ can tap that part of him without it blowing up in his face, win win I say, they tempered him to give us the foundation and showing all of him to build them up.
|Feb 24 2013, 12:37 PM Post #53
|Love the interview. Thanks so much! JS seems like he is happy with the scripts coming up.
|Feb 24 2013, 01:39 PM Post #54
Popping in to say the interview is a winner. Lysie got lots from James. If anyone who read it does not like it, I have heard about it.
Sweevil EJ is old school EJami talk. People do miss that in EJ. Now that EJ has his woman I hope the two of them get 'sweevil" together.
|Feb 24 2013, 02:40 PM Post #55
|Thank you for posting the Interview Lyse which I loved reading. You seemed to enjoy this interview also. I love both James and Casey. :wub:

Classic Soap Fan
|I just realized that no one had to explain to James what "sweevil" meant. He already seemed to know. That sorta... surprises me, I think.
|Feb 24 2013, 03:01 PM Post #57
Like pspCindy said, "sweevil EJ" is an old school EJami term, so I am guessing this isn't the first time James heard it. Props to Michelle for bringing it back! :applause:

Great interview, Lysie!

You can't have crony capitalism without big government
Want a level playing field? Step 1 is to get rid of big government. There is no step 2—the rest mostly sorts itself out.
It is clear big businesses wield great control over the federal government. How do we stop this so-called crony capitalism, or collusion? Professor Jason Brennan argues that while it may seem paradoxical the best solution is to limit government power. He provides two reasons for this. First, the power to "regulate the economy" is really the same thing as the power to distribute favors, which corporations will inevitably seek. Second, regulations actually benefit big businesses at the expensive of small businesses. Less government power means corporations have less power to compete for, fewer privileges to seek, fewer subsidies to enjoy, and no agencies to capture.

Police Seek 'Person Of Interest' In Fatal Manchester House Explosion
By Michael Brindley • Mar 25, 2014
Manchester police are seeking a person of interest in connection to a house explosion in Manchester yesterday that killed two people.
Police are looking for 38-year-old Matthew Dion.
They say he may be driving a 2009 white Nissan Altima.
The state Attorney General's office describes the deaths in yesterday's explosion as suspicious.
However, law enforcement officials aren't saying what Dion's role may have been.
Autopsies are scheduled to determine the victims' identities and the cause of death.

On 15 October 1987 a revolution was brought to an abrupt and bloody end by the murder of Thomas Sankara, President of the newly named state of Burkina Faso. In the years following Sankara's assassination, by his once trusted friend Blaise Compaoré who runs Burkina Faso to this day, his revolution was overturned and the country became just another African fiefdom of the International Monetary Fund. But for a brief period of 4 years, Burkina Faso shone brightly, a stunning example of what can be achieved even in one of the world's most impoverished countries.
Sankara was a junior officer in the army of Upper Volta, a former French colony which was run as a source of cheap labour for neighbouring Cote d'Ivoire to benefit a tiny ruling class and their patrons in Paris. As a student in Madagascar, Sankara had been radicalised by waves of demonstrations and strikes taking place. In 1981, he was appointed to the military government in Upper Volta, but his outspoken support for the liberation of ordinary people in his country and outside eventually led to his arrest. In August 1983, a successful coup led by his friend Blaise Compaoré, brought him to power at the age of only 33.
Sankara saw his government as part of a wider process of the liberation of his people. Immediately he called for mobilisations and committees to defend the revolution. These committees became the cornerstone of popular participation in power. Political parties on the other hand were dissolved, seen by Sankara as representatives of the forces of the old regime. In 1984, Sankara renamed the country Burkina Faso (land of people of integrity).
Sankara purged corruption from the government, slashing ministerial salaries and adopting a simpler approach to life. Journalist Paula Akugizibwe says Sankara "rode a bicycle to work before he upgraded, at his Cabinet's insistence, to a Renault 5 – one of the cheapest cars available in Burkina Faso at the time. He lived in a small brick house and wore only cotton that was produced, weaved and sewn in Burkina Faso."
In fact the adoption of local clothes and local foods was central to Sankara's economic strategy to break the country from the domination of the West. He famously said:
"'Where is imperialism?" Look at your plates when you eat. These imported grains of rice, corn, and millet - that is imperialism."
His solution was to grow food - "Let us consume only what we ourselves control!" The results were incredible: self-sufficiency in 4 years. Former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food Jean Ziegler says that a combination of massive land distribution, fertiliser and irrigation saw agricultural productivity boom; "hunger was a thing of the past".
Similar gains were made in health, with the immunisation of millions of children, and education in a country which had had over 90% illiteracy. Basic infrastructure was built to connect the country. Resources were nationalised, local industry was supported. Millions of trees were planted in an attempt to stop desertification. All of this involved a huge mobilisation of Burkina Faso's people, who began to build their country with their own hands, something Sankara saw as essential.
There have been few revolutionary leaders who have placed such emphasis on women's liberation as Sankara. He saw the emancipation of women as vital to breaking the hold of the feudal system on the country. This included recruiting women into all professions, including the military and the government. It entailed ending the pressure on women to marry. And it meant involving women centrally in the grassroots revolutionary mobilisation. "We do not talk of women's emancipation as an act of charity or out of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the revolution to triumph." He saw the struggle of Burkina Faso's women as "part of the worldwide struggle of all women".
Sankara was more than a visionary national leader - perhaps of most interest to us today is the way he used international conferences as platforms to demand leaders stand up against the deep structural injustices faced by countries like Burkina Faso. In the mid 1980s, that meant speaking out on the question of debt.
Sankara used a conference of the Organisation of African Unity in 1987 to persuade fellow African leaders to repudiate their debts. He told delegates: "Debt is a cleverly managed reconquest of Africa. It is a reconquest that turns each one of us into a financial slave." Seeing these same leaders go off one-by-one to Western governments to get a slight restructuring of their debt, he urged common, public action that would free all of Africa from domination. "If Burkina Faso alone were to refuse to pay the debt, I wouldn't be at the next conference." Unfortunately, he wasn't to be.
Of course not everything Sankara tried worked. Most controversially was his response to a teachers strike, when he sacked thousands of teachers, replacing them with an army of citizens teachers who were often completely unqualified. Sankara's system of revolutionary courts were abused by those with personal grievances. He banned trade unions as well as political parties.
Some of these measures, combined with break-neck social transformation, provided space for his enemies. Sankara was assassinated in a coup carried out by Blaise Compaoré. It seems clear there was outside support, including of French stooge President Félix Houphouët-Boigny of Cote d'Ivoire. Sankara's revolution was rolled back by his one time associate, and Burkina Faso became another African country whose economy becomes synonymous with poverty and helplessness.
Today Sankara is not well known outside Africa - his character and ideas simply don't fit with the notion of Africa which has been constructed in the West over the last 30 years. It would be difficult to find a less corrupt, self-serving leader than Thomas Sankara anywhere in the world. But neither does he fit the image charities like to portray of the 'deserving poor' in Africa. Sankara was clear on the role of Western aid, just as he was clear on the role of debt in controlling Africa:
"The root of the disease was political. The treatment could only be political. Of course, we encourage aid that aids us in doing away with aid. But in general, welfare and aid policies have only ended up disorganizing us, subjugating us, and robbing us of a sense of responsibility for our own economic, political, and cultural affairs. We chose to risk new paths to achieve greater well-being."
The improvement in the lives of Burkina Faso's people was astounding as a result of Sankara's policies, yet he wouldn't be surprised to learn that these policies have been systematically undermined by Western governments and agencies claiming to want exactly these improvements themselves.
Perhaps today, Sankara's words are most relevant to our own crisis in Europe. They are echoed by those in Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland who have heard little of him:
"Those who led us into debt were gambling, as if they were in a casino.. there is talk of a crisis. No. They gambled. They lost... We cannot repay the debt because we have nothing to pay it with. We cannot repay the debt because it is not our responsibility."
Thomas Sankara had great belief in people - not just the people of Burkina Faso or Africa, but people across the world. He believed change must be creative, nonconformist - indeed containing "a certain amount of madness". He believed radical change would only come when people were convinced and active, not passive and conquered. And he believed the solution is political - not one of charity. Surely Sankara has never been more relevant to our quest for justice in Europe and the world.

A big thanks to Nick Dearden for having the depth of mind and intricate understanding of sieving the fact out of the whole story. A brilliant piece that has altruism at its heart!
Pat Bryden 25 October 2012, 12.03
Thank you, Nick, for this timely article. I have been an ardent advocate for Thomas Sankara and his policies for as long as I first heard of him. He led the first anti-poverty march in Africa, leading the people himself; he never went in for Mercedes Benz or other posh cars, or sideriders for 'protection' …. He promoted gender equality in a way then unknown in the continent…
I have always wondered whether any bigger power was behind Blaise Compaore and the assassination, which robbed the whole continent, if not the world, of a visionary, practical, people-centred, leader. (Maybe Lumumba would have been such if…?)
Ade Akpo 28 November 2012, 22.35
The Resurrection of the ideas of Thomas Sankara
Africa and the world through Blaire Compaore have put everything in place to ensure that the ghost of Thomas Sankara does not come back to haunt them. Even Compaore should know that was always going to be a very tall order no matter how long he is in power at the behest of France
I did not however expect to see the day when the people of austerity-ravaged Europe would rise up to demand from their government what Thomas Sankara preached decades ago: the repudiation of debt, the fall of the unfettered free market, true gender equality, healthcare reforms and poverty alleviation.
The name Thomas Sankara will surely rise again and the long suffering people of Africa will take their rightful place in the committee of nations. Thomas Sankara and Africa will surely rise again. It is not over.
Mosimaneotsile Setlogelo 2 January 2013, 11.49
Thomas Sankara was a true revolutionarist , who we can't compare him with no one in the current leaders of Africa . He had a serious vision for Africa. Today we are lead by our own African brothers with minds of the westernest people. Africa itself is known as poor countinent , bt rich in mineral that taken by europeans and our so called leaders. Long live the undying spirit of the greatest ever leader Thomas Sankara .

Halifax Courier
It was founded in 1892 as an evening broadsheet, the Evening Courier, having been preceded by a weekly, the Liberal Party-supporting Halifax Courier. It absorbed a rival newspaper, the Conservative Party-supporting weekly Halifax Guardian, in 1921, at which point its editorial stance became politically independent.
In 1994 its publishers, Halifax Courier Ltd, were taken over by the Johnston Press regional newspaper publishing group.
At the beginning of June 2012 it switched to weekly publication in a move to what Johnston Press described as more "platform-neutral" publishing, with greater emphasis on up-to-date web-based and app-based content, and more in-depth reporting in print. Since then it's come out on Fridays.
There are three associated local weeklies: the Brighouse Echo, the Hebden Bridge Times and the Todmorden News & Advertiser. (A fourth, the freesheet Calderdale News, ceased publication in mid-2011.)
The editorial offices are in Halifax.

SCHWARTZ, A. L., M. MORI, R. GAO, L. M. NAIL, and M. E. KING. Exercise reduces daily fatigue in women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 33, No. 5, 2001, pp. 000–000.
Purpose: Cancer treatment-related fatigue is the most prevalent and distressing symptom of cancer therapy. Interventions to minimize fatigue are needed. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between exercise and fatigue over the first three cycles of chemotherapy in women receiving either cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF) or doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) for breast cancer.
Methods: Seventy-two newly diagnosed women with breast cancer were instructed in a home-based moderate-intensity exercise intervention. Measures of functional ability, energy expenditure, and fatigue were obtained at baseline and posttest. Subjects maintained daily records of four types of fatigue, and exercise duration, intensity, and type.
Results: Exercise significantly reduced all four levels of fatigue (P < 0.01). As the duration of exercise increased, the intensity of fatigue declined (P < 0.01). There was a significant carry-over effect of exercise on fatigue, but the effect lasted only 1 d. The level of fatigue at study entry was not associated with number of days of exercise or amount of exercise a woman engaged in.
Conclusions: The impact of exercise on fatigue was significant and suggests the effectiveness of a low- to moderate-intensity regular exercise program in maintaining functional ability and reducing fatigue in women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy.

Most Helpful
I have tried several recipes (non-Zaar) to find a cookie like we use to have when I was younger. This cookie has fit the bill. Easy to make, baked up in 8 minutes and like Sackville Girl said "rich". Thanks to much for this recipe.
This was just the recipe I was looking for! The cookies are a little soft in the middle with that nice, slightly wrinkled, crispy edge. I did cut back a bit on the white sugar measurement and didn't miss it at all. Great recipe, thanks Sack!
These were great! I've made three batches now, with the latest cutting down on the butter a bit and adding a little more flour which made for a cakier cookie.

I hate being late. In fact, I detest it. I actually like being places at least 10 minutes early, but oh boy, was I running late last Tuesday to my bible class. I knew in about 3 minutes I'd have a room full of women chanting, "Where've you been. You're late!" I'd been out running errands and let the time slip up on me.
I was zipping down the street, going to make it right on time, when the light turned red. Hobbling across the street in front of me was a little old woman. She had her coat, headscarf and purse in hand. I thought, "Hurry, little lady, I have a class to teach."
She passed and my light turned green. I made it 3 blocks when it hit me, "Trey, you just did the same thing the Priest and Levite did in the story of the good Samaritan to the man who was beaten and left on the side of the road… you went on by."
Then the debate started…
One part of me said, "Dude, YOU have a class to teach. Don't go back. She's probably out for a walk. You're going to be late and those women are going to get you."
The other part of me said, "It's cold outside. You can't drive on past."
I turned around and went back. I had to make a couple of blocks before I finally caught up with her. I pulled up, rolled my window down and said in my sweetest voice possible, "Ma'am, can I give you a ride somewhere?" She quickly declined my offer without breaking stride. I could tell she was a little nervous by my offer. So I asked again, "Are you sure? I'd be happy to drop you off somewhere." Again she said, "No," as she kept walking. At this point I wanted to say, "Ma'am, help me out here. I'm trying to be a Good Samaritan. I'm a REALLY nice guy, and you can trust me," but I chose not to. As she walked off I did tell her, "Have a nice day," and then I drove off.
I was a little late for class, but no one gave me a hard time about it. Although the little old lady wouldn't let me help her, I felt like I had made the right decision by offering… even if it meant being late to class. In Jesus' story of the Good Samaritan, I've always imagined the Priest and the Levite were not bad people but just too busy to help. They probably didn't stop because they were in a hurry to do something good like teach a class, preach a sermon or go to a church service. But for whatever reason, they chose wrong when they chose not to stop and help.
I wonder how many other people in this world I've missed helping because I was in too big a hurry.

all these people whining about their mothers having them when they were older than 30. mine was 35 and im glad so. she was 10 years wiser and was more financially stable by then. sure there's an increased risk of mental defect (luckily i dont have any [that i know of]), so its a matter of preference.

They had music on it a few years ago, but it kind of quickly started getting worse and worse with all the "reality" TV shows. If you've ever seen Bevis and Butthead where they're watching TV and its music videos, they were showing MTV on it, when it actually played music. They still play music now, but mostly on Tuesday - Thursday mornings, and really early, its all really bad music too, like Lil Wayne, Drake, Niki Minaj, and others that shouldn't really be famous.

Two years ago my TV company started to sort MTV among the entertainment channels, not the music channels.

Am I the only one that thinks 34 is a bit old to have children?
To me, I think it would better to have kids in your mid to late 20s.

They don't change the name because they don't want to publicly acknowledge that it's basically the trashiest reality TV channel ever.

i dont think people miss the music videos as much as they absolutely despise the shows they now produce. i personally wish that everyone and everything owned and made by MTV would get cancer and die in a fire.
