Stock Markets Bounce on Opportunity Buying
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock indices lifted higher Wednesday in the final hour of trading in a hurried scramble as investors bought equities rather than be left out of a surging market.
The S&P 500 was up 0.41% to 1,632.69 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.32% to 15,105.12 after closing above 15,000 for the first time. The Nasdaq was up 0.49% to 3,413.27.
"People are looking for any opportunity, and on a day when it's flat, that's an opportunity" in this environment, said Randy Warren, chief investment officer at Warren Financial Service. Warren said traders have been looking for a May pullback to enter the market, but haven't yet gotten one.

EA's price target and estimates were increased at UBS Wednesday with analysts writing that the estimates were raised to reflect operating margin expansion, cost controls and free cash flow optimization, and that the price target moved up to $20.
The next biggest advancer was Whole Foods Market
"Earnings ... have bettered expectations ... but as we have pointed out in the past, this should not come as much of a surprise since expectations had been lowered so much," David Joy, Chief Market Strategist, at Minneapolis, MN-based Ameriprise Financial, wrote in a note. "And it seemingly overlooks the fact that top-line revenue growth has been disappointing - cutting one's way to prosperity works for only so long. Ultimately, it is the ongoing activism of central banks that seems to account for the refusal of stock markets to correct in any meaningful way, and on the contrary, to power their way to a series of new highs."

Hello all,
EAF is always looking at ways to expand and extend the Festival platform to show a greater range of visual art. There are a few opportunities in the pipeline, which I would greatly appreciate your feedback on, including the Olympic & Commonwealth Games 2012 – 2014 (see attached paper).
I'm hoping to meet with you all before Christmas for a Festival chat, updating some research that I gathered in Winter 2007. In the meantime please get back to me with any thoughts on the info below, and do RSVP for the 15th Dec if you would like to participate in an ideas session around programming opportunities over the period of the games.
With very best wishes,
Edinburgh Art Festival 29 July - 5 September 2010
A few open studio / studio visits were offered in the 2008 and 2009 programme. They are always hugely popular and I think ( a good way for artists to show their work without taking on the complexities of an exhibition. We're including a section in the 2010 proposal where artists can indicate if they would be keen to participate in a more coordinated open studios / studio visits programme. Please help us spread the word by letting any artists you know who have studios in Edinburgh.
Screen based work
I've been thinking / talking for a while around how EAF can provide a platform for visual art screen based work. This is beginning to come together and so I'm keen to get a sense of the appetite from artists and curators for a screening programme that would sit alongside the exhibitions and events programmes. There are venues available with the capacity to support programmed screenings and I'm talking to a few curators with experience in this area. Black Box within the Film Festival and Diversions are two of my reference points. Please signal if you have an interest in this and would like to be involved.
2012 – 2014 Olympic and Commonwealth Games
Please see the attached paper. I would like to host a meeting on Tues 15 December, at 2.30 pm in the Art Festival office, 5th Floor City Art Centre, Market Street to discuss 2012 – 2014 in more detail. There may be some considerable programming opportunities available to the EAF partner gallery network and so I think this warrants some group thinking. At this first stage all of Edinburgh's festivals have been asked to put forward suggestions for internationally significant and ambitious responses to the three strands outlined in the paper. Please RSVP to me with your name and organisation if you would like to take part in the meeting.
Web portal for Edinburgh's museums and galleries - launching Spring 2010
Subscribers to The Audience Business will know that TAB is the delivery partner on the city wide web portal project, which will result in two major cultural websites for Edinburgh by the end of next year. The first site (edinburghfestivals.co.uk) is managed through Festivals Edinburgh and went live in July of this year and the second site will feature a number of art form channels, one of which will be Edinburgh's Museums and Galleries. The BBC model (bbc.co.uk) is a great example of how this second site will work - when you go to their homepage, as a user you can customise how it looks and shoot off into the entertainment, gardening, food etc channels.
The Museums and Galleries channel is a development from the TAB/EAF visual art e-bulletin. All EAF partner galleries currently have access to this e-bulletin to promote exhibitions and events, and will also have to the new site. The site will host practical and programme information and will be supported by an e-communications strategy.
Kate Park from TAB, is the Portal project manager. Kate has kindly offered to come and speak to us about the project at the beginning of our 2012 – 2014 meeting on the 15 Dec.
EAF website now hosting dynamic content
Our website can now host dynamic (audio and video content). We've created a new section titled Pocket Festival in which to put all downloadable / linkable material. If you are planning to include audio and video content as part of your Festival exhibition / event please signal this in the proposal form. We can put it up on our site, link through to your site, and suck it in to ours from youtube, and vice-versa. I hope that makes sense!
Festival slots: we decided to run with 3 approximately 2 week slots. Dates are suggested as follows with Bernard Szajner provisionally booked for the middle slot. APs: Simone to email Mirja, and Mirja to confirm dates with Bernard.
29th July - 7th August 2010 tk36
9th July - 21st August 2010 tk37 - Bernard Szajner (Mirja)
22nd August - 5th September 2010 tk38
Note: Art Late – Thursday 26 August
Next meeting: Thursday 10th December. Please let us know if you can make it asap. Simone to book action room, to be discussed: filling remaining two festival slots/ going through submissions.
AP: Simone will take over festival email link. We need some brave person to take responsibility for festival promotion. Any takers?

Types of Mental Illness
There are many different conditions that are recognized as mental illnesses. The more common types include:
- Anxiety disorders: People with anxiety disorders respond to certain objects or situations with fear and dread, as well as with physical signs of anxiety or panic, such as a rapid heartbeat and sweating. An anxiety disorder is diagnosed if the person's response is not appropriate for the situation, if the person cannot control the response, or if the anxiety interferes with normal functioning. Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias.
- Mood disorders: These disorders, also called affective disorders, involve persistent feelings of sadness or periods of feeling overly happy, or fluctuations from extreme happiness to extreme sadness. The most common mood disorders are depression, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymic disorder.
- Psychotic disorders: Psychotic disorders involve distorted awareness and thinking. Two of the most common symptoms of psychotic disorders are hallucinations -- the experience of images or sounds that are not real, such as hearing voices -- and delusions, which are false fixed beliefs that the ill person accepts as true, despite evidence to the contrary. Schizophrenia is an example of a psychotic disorder.
- Eating disorders:Eating disorders involve extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors involving weight and food. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are the most common eating disorders.
- Impulse control and addiction disorders: People with impulse control disorders are unable to resist urges, or impulses, to perform acts that could be harmful to themselves or others. Pyromania (starting fires), kleptomania (stealing), and compulsive gambling are examples of impulse control disorders. Alcohol and drug are common objects of addictions. Often, people with these disorders become so involved with the objects of their addiction that they begin to ignore responsibilities and relationships.
- Personality disorders: People with personality disorders have extreme and inflexible personality traits that are distressing to the person and/or cause problems in work, school, or social relationships. In addition, the person's patterns of thinking and behavior significantly differ from the expectations of society and are so rigid that they interfere with the person's normal functioning. Examples include antisocial personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, and paranoid personality disorder.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): People with OCD are plagued by constant thoughts or fears that cause them to perform certain rituals or routines. The disturbing thoughts are called obsessions, and the rituals are called compulsions. An example is a person with an unreasonable fear of germs who constantly washes his or her hands.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): PTSD is a condition that can develop following a traumatic and/or terrifying event, such as a sexual or physical assault, the unexpected death of a loved one, or a natural disaster. People with PTSD often have lasting and frightening thoughts and memories of the event, and tend to be emotionally numb.

text: Admin on January 31, 2012 0 Comments Slow cookers are one of the most convenient small appliances for cooking dinner, especially for a family. The best part being, for most recipes, you can just set it, forget it and ta-da! Dinner is ready! Slow cookers are easy to use and easily accessible as counter top appliances. They are primarily used for simmering stews, dips, roasts and so much more. They cook over a long period of time as an alternative to baking, boiling, or frying, and can be left unattended. Families are often busy working, running errands, running kids from one activity to the next and slower cookers are one the best ways for busy families to cook and enjoy a healthy meal together. Another great advantage when preparing slow cooker meals is the fact that it can save money on meals. Instead of going out to dinner a couple nights a week, you can cook a chicken or gumbo, among other recipes, and have leftovers to last a few days. Many of the meals you can prepare in your slow cooker also tend to be less fattening, which is also beneficial for you and your family, keeping you healthy, strong, and energized. Thanks to the development and evolution of technology, slow cookers have gone digital with set it and forget it timers, like the Cuisinart Programmable Slow Cooker. It takes little to no effort for you to setup a meal in the morning, and it is ready for you to use by the end of the day. Slow cookers are also more energy efficient. They won't over heat the kitchen, and you can use plastic liners to save you the time and the hassle of cleaning up. Nowadays there are many options to choose from, making this modern day appliance a valuable kitchen tool. This sleek stainless steel and black slow cooker from Kalorik is great for cooking soups, stews, casseroles, pot roasts and more. There are various brands, types, sizes, and pricing to choose from, however most will range from $20 to $200. One thing is for sure, on a cold winter evening there is nothing better than coming home from a hard day's work to find a bubbling stew or creamy casserole sitting ready to eat on the kitchen table. Slow cookers have definitely made a come-back with an ever-increasing army of devotees are returning to the time and money saving device with a newfound enthusiasm. For these penny-pinching and time-conscious cooks the slow cooker is a great solution for making a delicious and hassle-free diner. CompactAppliance.com carries a variety of slow cookers to suit your busy family's needs. Come visit us and let us help you find the slower cooker that's perfect for you.

Another day, well, really, late night in Paris.� And still thinking about what happens to all that bread in a city where FRESH is the watchword.� Au Pied de Cochon (it means "the pig's foot"), provided another answer.� Onion soup!� Hot and soothing and topped with thick slices of yesterday's baguette and grated cheese.� Not to mention the meltingly tender onions at the bottom of the bowl.
Popular for decades, this restaurant packs them in every night.� More so after 10 o'clock as it never closes.� Never.� This brasserie is still hopping after all the other venues close.� So, for anyone who's been partying until the wee hours, this is the place to go to finish off the evening – even at 3:00 AM.� And the place to go when it's still raining in Paris.� Still.
Makes 6 servings, easily doubled
My advice on this one is to get a nice sturdy ovenproof roasting pan, like one of those turkey pans with handles, to put the bowls into for the broiling step.� That way,� soup won't slosh on the bottom of the oven or on your floor, or burn your hands as you try to transfer it to the table at the perfect temperature – hot, hot, hot!
The chicken stock, rather than beef, was a bit of a shock to me, but some cooks outside the restaurant make it with half chicken, half beef stock.� After tasting the original, I'll stick to this recipe.
1 or 2 large white onions, weight about 1 pound, thinly sliced
2 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cups chicken stock
6 thick slices "day old" crusty baguette
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the onions, wine, and butter in a baking dish.� Cook, uncovered until the onion is very soft and most of the liquid evaporates, about 45 minutes.� Raise the oven temperature to broil. While the onion cooks, bring stock to a simmer in a large, heavy saucepan. �Distribute the cooked onions evenly into 6 deep, ovenproof soup bowls.� Pour the simmering stock into each one.� Place a round of bread on top of each soup bowl; top the bread with the grated cheese. Transfer the soup bowls to the oven, under the broiler, for 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese melts.� Serve immediately.

Rediscovering natural beginnings
Human beings are largely all-natural, purely organic creatures when they first arrive on this earth. They arrive with a few wrinkles, occasionally some hair and, by and large, they are delivered naturally in the most pristine condition they will experience in life.
But from day one, it will be all downhill. They'll be swaddled and washed, combed and cuddled, fluffed, puffed and stuffed.
Never again will their slightly wrinkled birthday suit be as fresh as it was upon original delivery. Neither will their brain, which actually begins responding to stimulation while they are in the womb.
Physicians and psychologists agree that the human brain is still hard wired for an agrarian, nature-oriented existence that first came into focus about 5,000 years ago. Neurologically, the human brain has not yet caught up with the current over-stimulating environment it often has to deal with.
The brain is strong and flexible, so 70 to 80 percent of children adapt fairly well. But some of the others don't.
Experts agree that getting kids out in nature can make a lot of difference. The evidence is largely anecdotal but several studies suggest that natural play can actually be a useful therapy for children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder.
Research indicates the positive effects of spending time in a "restorative outdoor environment" can produce a greater positive affect than most researchers had ever expected.
Humans subconsciously seek a connection with the natural world by utilizing senses we rarely exercise. As a result, many of our natural protection systems have atrophied from lack of use.
Our ears may pop to alert us to the potential danger of a potential storm brought on by an approaching low-pressure system.
But, because we have become so accustomed to getting our weather information from the media, we're no longer sensitive to the natural alarm signals coming from our senses.
Scientists who study how people perceive the world say that humans, conservatively, have 10 senses and possibly as many as 30. However, many of these senses are no longer needed or utilized in the urban environment, or they have atrophied from the lack of use.
However, regular travel in the deep woods has a way of restoring these senses, which serve to enliven us and make us more aware of our surroundings.
Babies often cry due to a natural sensitivity to changes in atmospheric pressure. We never really lose our senses, but as we age, we increasingly choose to ignore or disregard such natural alarms.
Adults will usually just yawn to pop their ears and carry on with what they're doing, although they'll later complain when they're caught in a thunderstorm, remarking, "Boy, I never saw that one coming, it really snuck up on me."
Yet, buried deep within all of us are the 200,000-year-old genetic records of humanity's endless exposure to fish and birds, plants and animals, as well as all other natural matters between the sea and the sky.
Despite the continuing effort to develop artificial intelligence, there are no means with which to replace the vast files of indigenous knowledge of the natural world that we have accumulated in our genetic soup.
We arrive on this earth with our own prepackaged personal alarm systems. These all-natural security systems have been fine-tuned to protect our species over thousands of years, and yet we rarely rely on them.
Our species has developed many unique biological traits that allow us to rapidly adapt to change. We arrive prepacked with bipedal mobility, opposable thumbs and, reportedly, a highly developed brain.
Despite such unique advantages, humans continue to allow their senses to atrophy due to a lack of exposure and experience in the outside world.
Humans might as well be senseless indoors due to the disturbances caused by carpet cleaners and deodorizers, piped in "muzak" and air conditioners. They can no longer feel the earth with their feet since they've harnessed them from heel to toe within hard leather or plastic covers.
We've lost the natural ability to hear low tones and distant sounds because we blast loud noises into our ears with miniature loudspeakers which often destroy sensitive nerve cells that allow us to hear either tones or good vibrations.
Most folks don't even have the good sense to cup their ears to amplify sounds or to determine which direction the sound is coming from.
We use perfumes and cologne to cover our natural scents and we attempt to shade our eyes with plastic lenses.
Is it any wonder we're losing our senses? We rarely provide them with the practice and free rein to be useful anymore. Without a regular opportunity for natural practice, our senses will never again be perfect.
And without regular practice, they'll eventually begin to atrophy from lack of use. "Huh, what's that you said?"
By the time we hit our teen years, the natural stuffing that was so finely tuned over the centuries to protect our species has largely been ignored, underutilized or simply forgotten.
Yet this knowledge is never really lost, and with a little practice, most folks are able to easily retrieve it from their own personal internal hard-drive.
Fortunately, the fastest method to reboot the system is also an interesting and enjoyable process. Best of all, it is often available just outside your own back door and it comes with no additional fees.
Medical professionals have begun to recognize that time spent outdoors can have an increasingly positive effect on the quality of human life.
For most of history, families had every reason and every opportunity to encourage their children toward work, learning and play that was steeped in nature.
The outdoors was where life skills could be learned and strengths could be developed. It was also where the most fun and action could be had.
However, due to a variety of factors, including the disappearance of open spaces, the continued allure of electronic entertainment, the emergence of safety concerns, longer school hours and busy two-wage-earner families, today's kids lack the access to, and the motivation for, pursuing nature-based outdoor experiences.
It is truly an unfortunate situation since the opportunity for children to spend time outdoors has positive effects that are the equivalent of Ritalin. Pediatricians have labeled it Vitamin N, and it has proven to be the finest all-natural medication available. Best of all, it is the safest drug available and no prescription is required.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Fairly flat and quick - not enough loos at the startIn full: Entered this to have another bash at getting below 1.40 and then caught a cold in the lead up. Nothing the organisers could do about that, but it meant I struggled round. Seemed pretty well organised, although they definitely need more toilets at the start - I was there about 45 minutes before the start and the queue was already about 20 minutes. Also, a scale on the map showing the car parks would be welcome - I ended up in one 20 minutes walk away, which is OK when walking to the start, but not when walking back tired, cold and wet - and it's uphill. I left my kit in my car as I thought I was a lot closer and would be able to get changed when I got back to it! Well marshalled and I was impressed with the support especially given how hard it rained at some points.Date of review: October 26, 2009
In short: Flat, fast and friendlyIn full: I've done this several times now and it's definitey one of my favourite races. The course is flat (there are a couple of very, very slightly uphill bits, but nothing worthy of note) and has real PB potential. The atmosphere is good and the marshalls friendly all the way round. This year it was chip timed without and increase in price (maybe because it was a late decision?), so it was very good value! I'll keep going back!Date of review: October 8, 2009
In short: Hilly, but not too bad - very good raceIn full: Yes, it's hilly, but not as bad as I thought it might be. Very well organised and pretty friendly. Marshalls were excellent and cheerful. Lose a mark for value because the goody bag was disappointing.Date of review: September 27, 2009
In short: Very well organised, flat and fast - what more could you want?In full: Thought this was excellently organised. A clock at the end would have been nice, but I didn't mind. Might be good to ask people to line up roughly in order of expected pace as there was lots of dodging to do down narrow roads for the first km or so. But, the organisation was very smooth, the marshalls were friendly and the jaffa cakes/jelly babies at the end a really nice touch. And I got a PB. Excellent morning.Date of review: November 23, 2008
In short: Race was fine ... pity about me ...In full: I've done this several times, but this time round I failed to prepare properly (because of illnes, injury and holiday). But I gave it a go, anyway ... and promptly blew up at 7 miles! So, I didn't really enjoy the day that much, but I can't blame the organisers for that! From my perspective, it all seemed to go off smoothly. Thanks to all the marshalls who took time to stand in the rain and encourage us as well as directing us. And thanks to the organisers for putting on another efficient event.Date of review: October 6, 2008
In short: Well organised, friendly, but that hill doesn't get any easierIn full: This is where I live, so I can roll out of bed late and jog up to the start line. It always has a friendly buzz about it and there are plenty of cheerful marshalls all around the course. First four miles are great, but I echo others' comments about the final climb that starts again just when you think you've cracked it. I run this section a lot in training, and it never seems to get any easier! All in all, I really like this race and I think I would travel a lot more than 0.5M to get to the start, if I had to.Date of review: April 21, 2008
In short: Fast, friendly and funIn full: Heavy snow overnight, but fantastic conditions come race time. Thanks to all the organisers and marshals - this is a very well run event and the marshals are really encouraging all the way round. I settled into a good pace and managed to keep it going all the way - finished with a new PB to take home with me! Really enjoyed myself - thanks to everyone who made it happen.Date of review: April 6, 2008
In short: Great organisation - hills not as bad as they sayIn full: Everything seemed to work like clockwork on this - it all seemed relaxed at the start even after the postal strike had delayed sending some numbers out. We set off exactly on time. Good marshalling and support from local people through the villages etc.. Some fantastic views. The hills make you work, but they are not as bad as some reviews say. I think the number of portaloos dotted round the course is excellent - it's ok for we men if we need a short stop, but these must be a boon for the girls!!! Thanks to everyone - I enjoyed my run and was 2 minutes quicker than last time I did it in 2005.Date of review: October 14, 2007
In short: I keep coming back and always enjoy itIn full: Done this a few times before - agree with other reviewers that 10k and half-marathon starts are too close together - spent much of first two miles dodging round people - not fun for them or me and possibly cost me a PB. Having said that, excellent organisation, great encouragement from the stewards, fast course, plenty of drinks stations (felt sorry for the people who thought one of them was water and poured it all over their heads only to discover it was a sports drink) - all in all, an excellent morning out. I'll be back again, definitely.Date of review: October 8, 2007
In short: Excellent organisation, flat course (mostly!) - great raceIn full: Well done to White Horse Harriers - excellent race all round. Course is pretty quick, although the mile that climbs a bit and ends with the railway bridge at 12ish was a bit tricky for me. Great organisation and friendly marshalls - definitely makes you want to go back again next year.Date of review: April 1, 2007

Message from the Dean
Welcome to the School of Nursing and Human Physiology (SNHP).
Our school is new, having been established in 2013, in response to a growing need and building on two departments with a long history at Gonzaga. Consistent with the mission of Gonzaga University, our message is that of making a difference through excellence in education and scholarly pursuits in the Jesuit, Catholic tradition.
Students choosing to enroll in one of our programs will be taught by faculty with exemplary records in teaching, research and service. Many faculty maintain clinical schedules to enrich their integration of theory and practice in the classroom. Our research is translational - designed to bring the benefits of scholarly work to the improvement of individual and population health practices. Service is an important component of what we do as it provides the school with the opportunity to fulfill the Jesuit commitment of social justice through helping others.
Through the virtual campus we make educational programs available to a broad array of non-traditional students who wish to pursue a career in nursing but require flexible scheduling. Human physiology brings a human science to undergraduates as an option to pursuing a graduate career in health. The new approach to health services delivery highlights the use of trained and skilled professionals who perform services formerly reserved for physicians. The doctorate in nursing practice (DNP) the SNHP currently offers and the doctorate in nursing anesthesia practice (DNAP) to be offered, pending approval by the Council on Accreditation (COA) of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs, provide an opportunity for qualified students to pursue these career pathways.
I invite you to take a virtual tour. Step inside our website to learn more about the undergraduate program in human physiology, one of the few human science programs in the nation; the portfolio of nursing programs offered in flexible, easily adapted venues, and the forthcoming Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP).
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance.
With warmest regards,

Yesterday in First Things' daily "On the Square" column, Matthew Cantirino highlighted Sergius Bulgakov's theology of relics, recently translated by Boris Jakim.
Cantirino writes,
Even today, it must be admitted, the subject of relics is an often-overlooked one in theology, and especially in popular apologetics. To the minds of many the topic remains a curio—a mild embarrassment better left to old ladies' devotionals, or the pages of Chaucer. Yet, for Bulgakov, this awkward intrusion of the physical is precisely what religion needs in modernity…. As he sees it, all relics take part in (and, in some sense, become) aspects [of] the greatest of all "relics," the bread of the Eucharist. And it is for this reason, he notes, that altars include… relics at their core. Like the Eucharist, saints' relics "are not corpses; rather, they are bodies of resurrection; and saints do not die."


text: The Flagler Museum (561-655-2833) will host generations young and old at its annual Grandparents Day event September 8. Family—grandparents in particular—is part of the museum's history; Henry Flagler's granddaughter, Jean Flagler Matthews, founded the museum and its collections to honor and share her grandfather's legacy for years to come. From noon to 5 p.m., grandparents and kin can tour Whitehall and take part in multiple activities, including making family trees, posing for a family photo in Henry Flagler's railcar and creating scrapbooks. The cost for all activities is included in the price of admission.

Cedar Crest College's Nowik Earns National Award for First Year Experience Efforts
Allentown, Pa. (Feb. 16, 2012)—Christine Nowik, assistant dean of student success and retention at Cedar Crest College, has earned a 2012 Outstanding First-Year Student Advocate Award from The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience & Students in Transition at the University of South Carolina and Cengage Learning.
The Outstanding First-Year Student Advocate Award, now in its 23rd year, honors college faculty, administrators, staff and students for their outstanding work on behalf of first-year students and for the impact their efforts have on the students and culture of their institutions. Nowik was one of 10 award recipients selected nationally from 140 nominations.
She earned the recognition for her work as co-chair of Cedar Crest's new and highly successful First Year Experience (FYE) program, which helps students make the challenging transition from high school to college. As co-chair, she worked with a committee to structure the program, develop goals/objectives/outcomes, and provide professional development for instructors of First Year Seminar courses designed to introduce students to academic life and the liberal arts.
"It is certainly an honor to be recognized in a field where so many people are doing so many incredible things with the FYE. It's also notable that we have been recognized in our first year of running the FYE, which speaks to the institution's commitment to first-year students," said Nowik, a 12-year Cedar Crest employee who lives in Allentown, Pa. "We had the flexibility to design a program that focuses on the needs of first-year students from a holistic standpoint, an important element in supporting their learning and persistence."
Nowik will receive the award at the Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience this weekend in San Antonio, Texas.

Fall for 100s - Page 2
Run this year October 27-28, in McDowell Mountain Regional Park and debuted in 2003, the increasingly popular Javelina Jundred features a washing-machine loop format over rolling desert terrain (from 1800 to 2400 feet). Setting the tone of the low-key yet competitive event is its costumes-encouraged theme.
"Javelina is cool in that you switch directions every loop so it isn't as boring. You also get to see everyone which is, for me, exciting and uplifting," says Duncan. "You are always smiling at others and encouraging one another instead of being alone which can sometimes be tough mentally.
"With loop courses, mentally, it is easier to break down the task at hand into 'one loop at a time.' You also know what is coming after the first loop so you can plan when it's best to slow down and step on the gas."
One of the Granite State's two ultras, the Halloween-inspired Ghost Train Rail Trail Races (October 27, 2012), offer ultra aspirants a relatively uncommitting trail and format, with the 100-mile event being "optional"—i.e. when you sign up for the ultra event, you may complete as many of the course's 15-mile out-and-back (7.5 each way) jaunts as you wish, for ultra options of 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 100 miles (or more!). The railroad-grade-converted trail is "straight, flat and pretty well groomed" (according to the race website), and offers easy crew access and ample aid.
Dropping way down South, Pinhoti, which occurred November 3, offers a point-to-point format on beautiful trails in the Talladega National Forest, with 81 singletrack, 17 jeep-road and four paved miles. Run during the height of the fall colors, the rugged race features over 16,000 feet of climbing and tags the highest point in Alabama—Cheaha Mountain, at 2407 feet. This year's geographically diverse field featured 108 finishers, topped by Neal Gorman of Charlottesville, Virginia, and followed by Jeremy Humphrey of McCall, Idaho, and Yassine Daboune of Portland, Oregon. The top three women, Denise Bourassa of Bend, Oregon, Megan Hall of Oak Harbor, Washington, and Melanie Fryar of San Antonio, Texas, came in back to back to back, taking fifth through seventh overall.
Says Pinhoti men's race winner, Gorman, of autumn 100s, "Heat, humidity and altitude are not factors. And even if you're not feeling as strong in the fall, the cooler weather and often-colorful scenery help make up for any loss in fitness."
And of Pinhoti, specifically, he says, "In addition to the great course and colorful scenery of early November, the race is very well managed, from the aid stations, to the drop bags, to the course markings, to the pre-race meeting, to the post-race awards banquet. One word comes to mind: seamless. Plus, the fact that Pinhoti is now in the Montrail Ultra Cup makes the competition that much more stiff."
In the hardwood forests of south-central Missouri, the mostly singletrack Ozark Trail 100-Mile Endurance Run in the Mark Twain National Forest offers another gorgeous point-to-point 100-miler, with nearly 15,000 feet of elevation gain. This year's 54-percent finishing rate evidences the trail's difficulty. Course records were set this year by Pierre Deragne of Lyon, France (18:33), and California's Katie DeSplinter (25:10 and 10th overall).

Waiting for a Library Card?
I went to a local library the other day, told the lady working at the front desk that I wanted to apply for a card, and gave her my driver's license to verify my name and address. I completely understand why they want your ID. What I don't understand is why you have to wait for a card to be mailed to you in a few days.
She actually retrieved a new card from a drawer and scanned it with my information, so it was ready to go at that moment. Yet, I had to address an envelope to myself so she could mail it to me a few days later.
If you've got a current driver's license, is it really necessary to go through those extra (annoying) steps? I mean, who's going to lie about where they live just so they can obtain a library card? Why would you even want one for a county that you don't live in (or near)?
Maybe I'm just not thinking like a criminal.

I just have to follow another blog that admits to having dysfunctional branches ... I bet I have you beat! :)ReplyDelete
Good luck with your blog.
Hi Kellie!ReplyDelete
I don't know...my family gives a whole new meaning to dysfunctional...but I'll take your word for it!
Thank you for the support. I appreciate it!
That is different. Did they explain why you had to wait?ReplyDelete
Hi Heather!ReplyDelete
No, I didn't receive an explanation. I got the impression that it's just how they do things.
The day that I applied for a card, they gave me a temporary one with my new "library card number" written on it. It seems to be a regular practice with them for whatever reason.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's weird, though!

Cometic Top End Gasket Kit

Write your review and you'll automatically be entered in our monthly drawing. Include an image or video to DOUBLE your chances to win!Write Your Review
Kit was missing valve seals and oring for bottom of cylinder for an 02 400ex. I understand that the pic is a "stock" pic but they're both in the picture. Plus every other company's top end kit that ive used (moose tusk, no name, oem) includes both of these items! Personally won't buy again.
I've used these kits on every bike I've had. Perfect fit & good quality. A must have when doing a 2 stroke top end.
Quality, durability, no headache installion & competively priced-this is a win win situation period
Really great gasket kit. Fits perfect and is easy to install. They are definitely stronger than oem gaskets. Great product
Installed as advertised, everything fit and sealed.
Replaced top end in KX85. Everything lined up and fit as it should. Appear to be well made. Will buy again.
Exactly what I needed
Parts shipped fast. Fit the same as factory parts One very satisfied customer
These are some of the best I've used. Crush style washer with seal material on either side.
I have always been a fan of OEM gaskets, I ordered the cometic kit and was very impressed. the quality was absolutely perfect, and performed flawless!!
Everything fit great
Been my go to kit for years. It now comes with valve seals and o rings for radiator hose necks. Exhaust gasket is updated too. Everything you need.
Works very well, maintains your engines crucial seals.
bike runs better more power and runs smoother
Only came with one base gasket and I ended up needing a thicker one so that was a pain but everything else was OK.
I have not had a failure due to the gaskets after using them for two seasons. I really like the way the base gasket is so easy to remove when changing top ends. No scraping required........it just comes right off.
I bought this for my 07 yz 450f and the rivets in the head gasket didn't line up hitting the head caused it to leak everywhere. Going with stock
gasket didn't line up. on the head gasket where the coolant hole should be, there is just an "up" indicator that blocks the whole entire port. and also not sure if this is the case with all coolants, but don't use bell ray moot-chill coolant with theses gaskets, it breaks down the black paint/coating and it gets all in your calling system.
Good gaskets just need more info on whats in the pack might wanna buy xtra o rings the ktm kit didnt come with everything

Though the recorded history of Palm Beach may not be as deep-rooted as, say, London, that does not mean the story lacks depth, range and its fair share of characters. Preserving our collected history is no easy task, but the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, a dedicated group located in the historic 1916 Palm Beach County Courthouse, is archiving and continuing the story for future generations.
History is a convoluted concept. Throughout our years of schooling, we learn about important events, dates and individuals described in history books. But these accounts don't scratch the surface of the story of our collective humanity, with each individual adding a wrinkle to the conversation.
These lesser-known stories, lives and pieces of information, invaluable and incalculable, often are only remembered by a select few. Yet that is, in essence, what history boils down to—lessons, memories and experiences that help shape the future and make the present. The stories that fly under the radar of the textbook, memoir or biography more often than not slip into the ether. But some are snagged in the net of groups and organizations like the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. They preserve, archive and continue the conversation of the past, making it collective while giving it a contextual and accessible present.
This is not easy, and often not very glamorous, but is nonetheless important. The Historical Society has dedicated itself to "preserve and share the history of Palm Beach County, Florida and the Caribbean" with an extensive library and archives that include nearly two million photographs, maps, newspapers, journals, periodicals, architectural drawings and research files. The organization has formed a unique and invaluable resource and facility for present-day research into the lives and events that shaped Palm Beach County. All the while, it continues its mission of creating educational programs for schools and the community to aid in "building an understanding and appreciation of local history in our children."
Believe it or not, Florida is celebrating its quincentennial of Western discovery this year. The Historical Society of Palm Beach County is one of the leading voices in the Viva Florida 500 initiative, a statewide celebration of the anniversary of Juan Ponce de Léon's discovery. Along with the exhibition "Claiming La Florida: On Board with Juan Ponce de Léon" at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum, the Young Friends of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County is hopping aboard the de Léon bandwagon with its second annual Signature Bash of the Young Friends on February 22. Commemorating Florida's 500th anniversary and inspired by the museum's exhibit, The Fountain of Youth ball will take over The Beach Club with a fabulous patio cocktail reception, followed by dancing and tapas. The exclusive event—invite only—costs $250 per person and is sure to be one for the record books (literally—it is the Historical Society, after all).

To link all the reports about the arrest of Rep. Curry Todd on DUI and gun possession charges Tuesday evening would take forever. Hundreds of national/local news reports and blog posts from around the nation have chronicled his arrest by the Metro Nashville Police Department. At last count, more than 400 news stories, which doesn't even include blog posts, have been placed around the Internet. If you are interested in seeing what has been written, we suggest you search Google. To let you know how rapidly this story spread, a post written by Jeff Woods at Pith in the Wind was shared more than 800 times yesterday on Facebook alone.
There have been numerous posts that have expressed anger and others have focused on the House member's history in the legislature.
From Sean Braisted, an exchange between Speaker Emeritus Jimmy Naifeh with Todd during the Guns in Bars debate in which Todd sponsored. Braisted has the video. LINK
Oh, yeah, who was the House sponsor of that Guns in Bars bill? Why, thank you for asking, it was in fact Rep. Curry Todd.Now, we don't know yet where Todd was drinking, and whether or not he was packing heat whilst drinking or if it was just in his car, but, regardless, I think its worth pointing out the connection.
The Huffington Post spotlighted a story where Todd made disparaging comments about undocumented mothers in November 2010 while writing of his arrest this week LINK.
"They can go out there like rats and multiply, then," he responded. He later said that he was "wrong" to use that language and said he should have used the term "anchor babies" instead.
From a presser that Tom Humphrey has at the Knoxville News Sentinel that the TNDP sent out. LINK
Curry Todd said any gun permit violators should have permits revoked for life. From the March 10, 2010 Judiciary Committee meeting:
Rep. Barrett Rich: "OK, that's just a pressing question I had and just wanted to make sure that is clear. If you get caught doing something with a handgun permit that you shouldn't be doing, it's my personal feeling you shouldn't have a permit anymore.
Rep. Todd: "It's my personal feeling that you shouldn't have it forever, you should just be disbanded from carrying forever if your doing it."
Rep. Rich: "Yes, sir, I agree."Rep. Todd: "I have always said that."
Video here at 29 minutes in.
Todd apologized for his actions late yesterday but it remains to be seen what will happen. There are all always consequences to behavior especially when it comes to aligning actions and words, especially from those elected officials who create laws we must abide by.
- The battle over Title X funds in Memphis continues. LINK
- Being that yesterday was dominated by Todd headlines, we would like to remind you that Sen. Andy Berke reported to constituents this week 304,000 Tennesseans are currently unemployed. LINK
- Pres. Bill Clinton thinks that the Occupy Movement can create a strong positive debate. "The Occupy Wall Street crowd basically is saying, 'I'm unemployed and the people that caused this have their jobs again and their bonuses again and their incomes are high again. There's something wrong with this country. This is not working for me,'" Clinton said, the Chicago Tribune reports. "So I think it can be a good positive debate." LINK

India for foodies
To describe Indian food as 'curries' is as sweeping and uninformative as, say, describing Chinese food as 'noodles' and Italian food as 'pasta'.
Yes, of course, curries are an integral part of Indian food, but there is so, so much more than just that.
First and foremost, what exactly is a curry?

Re: rorBB - the Ruby on Rails Bulletin Board
I seem to be locked out of assebla, and can't find the project anymore, whats going on with this?
This is an archive from Rails Forum. Check out the new community here!
A forum for Ruby on Rails users
Rails Forum - Ruby on Rails Help and Discussion Forum » Other Rails Programming » rorBB - the Ruby on Rails Bulletin Board
I seem to be locked out of assebla, and can't find the project anymore, whats going on with this?
Sadly, I don't think there's been any activity on it for over a week.
That's unfortunate.
The FRoRum project seems to be active--perhaps offer your services there?
I'm all for starting a community project here to help create a RoR-based forum, too, if that interests people.
I'm not much of a programmer, but I can help with organization.
Revision 3: /
A forum engine that could integrate into a larger CMS solution and was easily extensible would be awesome.
It would free those of us who want to do a new type of forum-y thing up from the drudgery, and it would give those who need a quick and easy solution exactly that.
Count me in!
I would love to render some help. Where to sign up?
What happened with this? Has it just fizzled out??
I cam back from holiday and my login for basecamp doesn't work anymore.. Has the whole project been sacked or just me???
Has the whole project been sacked or just me???
The project grew so big so fast that it kinda choked itself to death. After no activity for a few weeks there was a decision to try it a new way. So the project is just four folks right now and we're keeping things quiet until we actually have something to show.
Thanks for offering your help idlefingers - I'm sure it'll be needed in a while. For now we're going to try to at least get the thing started and off the ground. Thanks for your patience!
Thanks for the update. I was involved in Railfrog once so I know how too many cooks can spoil the broth. Please give us an update from time to time so people aren't tempted to duplicate what you're doing.
Hey all, new to rails so not much help at the moment.
Just wanted to add my 2c in to the developers.
1. Keep in mind if it goes big third party developers and designers will want to dial into the product. One thing you'll note about the large forum offerings is the wealth of third party sites with modules/components and skins/themes/styles.
Most of the larger forum companies don't back their third party developers very well, ergo you have problems as a product user locating some sites with goodies.
2. Any forum product has a lot of kids who will buy the product, but wont actually use it. They tend to be a huge pain in the butt to the rest of us who are serious about things.
3. Documentation, both technical and end user. One of the things that irritates the hell out of me is forum products that don't publish user calls etc.
4. A good componentary system for third party add ons.
5. Never, ever, say there will always be a free option. If it starts eating into people's time, l would rather pay for the product and keep it going than see it disappear.
I have extensive expierance with Invision, vBulletin, and phpBB, but would certainly dial into a good rails option. Don't worry about fully fetched, save stuff for future releases, and let third party coders add the cool stuff.
I would certainly be interested in making mods etc for a rails product in due course, and can guarantee one of the premier invision skinning shops would be interested in developing for the product.
Good luck with it, as stated have only really started looking at rails this week for a hefty project, but am certainly tuning into the technology in a big way. One of those ex php coders
Oh oh oh ... could make the smilies for the product if interested
Is it now safe to assume that rorBB has died?
Or is it just in a persistent vegetative state?
Is it now safe to assume that rorBB has died?

It's still going, but it's going to be a little while before there's a public release.
I agree vBulletin is the best for rorBB.

by John MacArthur
Based on the enormous volume of available material, pastoral ministry would seem to be very complicated. Pastors face a bewildering number of choices as they seek to lead their people. They read books, attend seminars, follow programs promoted by church-growth gurus, and pattern their leadership style after successful pastors. But all too often, the programs, methods, and gimmicks fail to achieve spiritual results, cheating both pastors and congregations of the true blessings of God.
In actuality, however, pastoral work is confoundingly simple. The principles and directions for successful ministry that are laid out in Scripture are sufficient to fully equip the man of God (2 Corinthians 3:5-6, cf. 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Instead of studying demographics and marketing techniques, or searching for cultural hot buttons to push, church leaders need to understand and obey biblical truth. Methods and trends come and go, and today's sensational new programs will be tomorrow's failed experiments. But the principles of godly truth and virtue that characterize an effective minister are timeless. Power and effectiveness in the ministry come from a heart that is right before God and passionately concerned about His plan and His people.
Nowhere is there a better model of a godly spiritual leader than the apostle Paul. His success in the ministry was the overflow of his godly life. He was a man who was focused on the right goals, driven by the right passions, and motivated by the right desires.
In the face of assaults on the Corinthian church by false apostles, Paul was forced to defend himself by presenting his apostolic credentials. And in the midst of his passionate and humble self-defense (2 Corinthians 12:12-19) we see the true marks of an excellent pastor—each one in contrast to the characteristics of false teachers.
The first mark is faithfulness. Unlike the false teachers in Corinth, who sought wealth, fame, and power, Paul's goal was to be faithful to the Lord. Because he was determined to be loyal to God's will no matter the cost, he performed the work of an apostle "with all perseverance" (2 Corinthians 12:12). Despite all the hostility, opposition, and persecution from the world he faced throughout his ministry, Paul remained faithful.
Paul ministered faithfully in the midst of constant duress and relentless persecution. As he wrote in his first inspired letter to the Corinthians, "I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily" (1 Corinthians 15:31). He lived every day knowing it could be his last; the mob in the next town he preached in might take his life, or one of the numerous Jewish plots against his life (Acts 20:19) might finally succeed.
God's spokesmen have always faced opposition and hostility. He warned Jeremiah, "Now, gird up your loins and arise, and speak to them all which I command you. Do not be dismayed before them, or I will dismay you before them. . . . They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you" (Jeremiah 1:17, 19).
The Lord charged Ezekiel, "And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house" (Ezekiel 2:6). John the Baptist was the greatest man who had lived up to his time (Matthew 11:11), yet he suffered imprisonment (Matthew 14:3) and martyrdom (Matthew 14:10).
And while most pastors and church leaders today won't ever face physical persecution or the threat of death, they still endure opposition. To begin with, they're facing off against a sinful culture bent in defiance of God's Word. The world hates those who bear the message of truth and light because they hate the Truth and Light (John 3:20).
On top of that, biblical shepherds are charged with leading and protecting flocks full of sinners—each one with his or her own sinful habits and patterns to break and spiritual growth to nurture and stimulate. It's a joy and privilege to shepherd God's people, but it's also difficult, sometimes discouraging work. And from the world's perspective, there's little reward for faithful shepherds' labor.
The truth is the world has nothing of lasting value to offer them. Instead, God's true servants seek an eternal reward. Jesus told His followers, "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great" (Matthew 5:11-12). At the end of his life, Paul triumphantly wrote to Timothy, "In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing" (2 Timothy 4:8).
False teachers work for earthly rewards; true preachers work faithfully for a heavenly reward. Paul was determined to remain loyal to his calling despite the hostility from the world, knowing that "momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison" (2 Corinthians 4:17).
Excellent servants of the Lord aren't hindered, swayed, or overwhelmed by difficult circumstances—they faithfully press on with their focus fixed on their heavenly reward.
(Adapted from 2 Corinthians: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary.)

Excellent post, Pastor MacArthur!
I would add that it is very difficult for a pastor to faithfully fulfill his duty to shepherd and feed the flock of God when the members of his church do not understand what his calling truly is. It is very joyful for a pastor to shepherd a flock who
1. Wants him to feed them with the whole counsel of God (not just feel-good sermons)
2. Knows he is not responsible for numerical growth (God is)
3. Knows he is not there to draw in and appease the unregenerate
4. Knows he is not responsible for the work of the ministry but that the sheep are. The pastor is called to equip the sheep to do the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13).
It's a rare and beautiful thing when both the shepherd and the sheep are in agreement on this.

I, too, think this is an excellent blog. I must say, although not a pastor, I do teach at certain times. Let me tell you, if you pray, "Lord, make me into the man You want me to be in order to do this..." I do know that He will answer that prayer and... I needed some making; with my character. Without the Lord changing a heart that needs changing and keeping those changes in the forethoughts of his purpose, that teacher probably won't withstand any persecution in a manner worthy of approval from God or the pupils and find it hard to get his message to stick. I'm speaking about the anger that rises in a person and they react emotionally instead of acting rationally; in the"self- controlled" fruit of the Spirit " aspect. Because some people are raised without learning self control, it is not easy to go through that sanctifying prossess.
It would be better for a person to come to grips with him or herself about the inner emotional problems that they have and seek the Holy Spirit's help to change them first, than to try to circumvent that problem just to say that they have it all together, lose it emotionally and stop doing what God wants them to do. Like the ol' cliche'....Live it, and THEN if you HAVE TO...use words.
I'm saying God has been dealing with me and showing me His inner peace I still don't possess, but desire to do so. But little by little I have learned and I know God will continue to show me how to love like Him, so I can be faithful like Paul and others. Thank you.

The obedience of the slave purchased by the blood of Christ produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control (Gal. 5:22-26). Be thankful that God is dealing with you as a son. When you mature and realize that you are as much a slave as a son, you will manifest all of these fruits for HIS glory and your joy. May the LORD produce in you a steadfast heart!
Brad (4)
from one Kennedy to another, thanks for the positive words regarding my comment. ( I'm out of St. Louis...where you?)
I AM grateful that God is correcting me, but it still is difficult sometimes. Like, how does something finally sink in when you don't realize it's happening, but it is and does? I guess if a person really wants to do for God, the Holy Spirit knows and knows what to do?.....Hmmm, obviously.
Like the time I asked for some help to cure my cursing. One day I lost it at work; couldn't do something that was difficult and shouted a whole lot of expletives.... making me feel better, but also feeling bad about what I just did. In trying to apologize to the guys around me, I IMMEDIATELY bit my tongue and cheeks in about 6 places as soon as I opened my mouth! While holding my mouth open with my hand covering it, I said, "AAahhhhhh... I KNOW Who did that!" Man,that hurt!!
Oh, yeah, He will use your body to teach us too, I think. Like, on another test, He allowed me to hit my head on some pipes overhanging off my truck.... and BAM, down I went! But this time, as hard as it was NOT to say more stuff, I actually didn't because I was more aware of trying not to... I guess. But that didn't stop me from just yelling AAHHH! 3 times with my mouth shut!! Someday maybe I'll just be quiet, I don't know. But, yes, some sanctifying processes are a real BIG test sometimes. ( I did claim that last one a VICTORY though).
I know, too, that God is no respecter of persons and I think He will use any way to get His job done in us. Problem is , I'm just too slow of a learner! (I thank God for His constant mercy, too)
Please pray that for me regarding this as I do want to be a better example for Him. Thanks again for the support. God bless you, sir, and all who may have read this. Thanks GTY and God, forever!
Michael, I live in Montgomery, AL. I will remember you in prayer. As a fellow believer, I encourage you to remember that Jesus taught us that whatever fills a man's heart will come out of his mouth whether good treasure or vile. Meditate on the gospel of Matthew, chapters 5 thru 7 to begin replacing the vileness with good treasure. Memorize Ephesians 4:29-30, and Romans 12:1 to start. Read and meditate on Scripture daily. Go to biblegateway.com and you can listen to Scripture as it is read to you. Do not seek the ungodly for counsel. What fellowship is there between darkness and light? Serve the Lord with all your might in your local church. Seek others who love the Lord and be a friend. Psalm 51:17. Listen to Pastor John's sermons from this site. If you are a child of the living God, do not profane His holiness in the presence of others with the murmuring words of a fool. Exercise self-control for His glory and your witness. I will pray again, may the LORD grant you a steadfast heart. "Stand firm in the faith, act like a man, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love."
