Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Tripoli, Libya on October 18, 2011. During her visit, she met with Libyan Transitional National Council Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril. Following their meeting, Secretary Clinton said:
"...On behalf of the American people I congratulate all Libyans. It is a great privilege to see a new future for Libya being born. And indeed, the work ahead is quite challenging, but the Libyan people have demonstrated the resolve and resilience necessary to achieve their goals.
"Think about what has been achieved already. In crowded squares and mountain passes, Libyans stood up against a dictator's aggression, and claimed the rights and dignity of a free people. Libyans were called rats by their own leaders and they were confronted by every possible tactic to break your spirit. But no threats dimmed the courage of the Libyan people. The United States was proud to stand with you, and we will continue to stand with you as you continue this journey, respecting your sovereignty and honoring our friendship. This is Libya's moment. This is Libya's victory and the future belongs to you."
While in Libya, Secretary Clinton also held a town hall meeting with youths and civil society at Tripoli University, where she said:
"I know that more than 30 years ago students from this university came to this very spot to engage in historic protests, and their voices were crushed by the Qadhafi regime. But today, because of the courage of the Libyan people, we can be here together to have a conversation about what you hope for your futures and what partnership the United States can offer. So on behalf of all of the people of my country, I congratulate all of the people of the new Libya. "
Secretary Clinton continued, "...The last seven months have been historic, not only for Libyans, but indeed for the world, because you have faced your challenges and conducted your revolution with courage and commitment. You demanded the rights and the dignity of a free people, and you withstood the brutal assaults from those who were only wedded to the past. And now we have a new era. There will be new stories written about Libya in the history books.
"But what will that story be? That, to me, is the question of the day. If you are committed to a new Libya, then how will you make your contributions? The structures of oppression have been torn down, but new structures are only being imagined now. ...What we all have to determine is how you turn to reconciliation and create an inclusive Libya that guarantees human rights and dignity, that delivers jobs and opportunities, that governs itself under respect for the rule of law.
"Now, every democracy reflects the unique choices and passions of its people. That is one of democracy's great strengths. We do not expect your democracy to be exactly like our democracy. We come from different backgrounds, we have different histories, and yet there are certain fundamentals about democracy that we think are more likely to produce a better outcome.
"A democracy makes a virtue of the diversity of its people. No democracy can function effectively unless every group contributes. So Libya will need the talents of all of its people, young people, women, people from every part of the country. I feel strongly that in the weeks and months ahead, as you make these decisions about how to shape your democracy, women need to be part of that decision making. Because women defied Qadhafi's troops, women supported the revolution.
"I was struck by a quote that I read of a woman who was asked by a reporter why she took such great risks to be part of this revolution, and she responded by saying, 'For God, for tasting freedom, for our land, for our liberty, for the future.' Well, that is what people who fight for their freedom believe, and women must be part of the new Libya.
"The same is true for young people. This rising generation here at the university has given so much, and I agree with the president that you expect so much as well. And those expectations are warranted, but it will take time, effort, and some patience to achieve the goals that you seek."
As she concluded her remarks at Tripoli University, Secretary Clinton underscored the U.S. commitment to the Libyan people and announced that the United States will resume educational exchanges, including the Fulbright Program, in Libya.

Reference to Libya, the hunt for Col. Qadaffi, I would say what could be good leads to finding him, will come down to his friends. The US had an outpost in Libya years ago when a pilot and crew crashed in the south. That might be a good place to look.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
TGR: What is your biggest fear for America's children?
BC: That the government has turned it into a totalitarian state where the people don't have personal freedoms to assemble, think and live their lives without surveillance, over-taxation and subservience to the state. I worry that my children and grandchildren could be impoverished by conflict, by a society that dissipates its resources in wars that only destroy wealth, rather than creating anything.
TGR: You have said we are entering Cold War II. Can you explain that?
BC: Everyone is uncomfortable with the role we played in the Middle East. They fear we could enter a World War III. But a cold war is not a conflict between the main parties. We didn't battle with the Russians directly. We fought in Vietnam.
The same is going on with China in an economic war over resources. The U.S. bombs the place in hopes that a new government will come in and give us cheap oil while China is busy winning contracts for the access to resources in many far-flung regions from oil in Africa to soybeans in South America. China is building cultural centers and roads to mines in an attempt to gain the favor of the people while gaining access to resources. Our approach of bombing people just makes enemies and is very expensive. It is another example of the stupidity of a late-stage empire.
W.W. writes:
In the midst of all the governments that decide the fate of men; in the bosom of so many states, the majority of them despotic ... there exists a certain realm which holds sway only over the mind ... that we honour with the name Republic, because it preserves a measure of independence, and because it is almost its essence to be free. It is the realm of talent and of thought.
congratulation mrs secretary
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
Congratulations to the Rebels in Libya for the job well done against Col. Qadaffi. After the many terroist acts, victims, problems caused by Qadaffi the world is a safer place! "Bravo Zulu"!
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Well there's some young fella in Libya brandishing a gold-plated .45 that apparently he took off Ghaddafi and if the news is confirmed, Hell came and payed him a visit in his hidy-hole.
I suppose he'll be wanting to collect on the reward the TNC offered...and throw one heck of a party for all his friends.
Congratulations is certainly in order as well to Mr. Sarkozy and his lady, for the arrival of his newest member of his family, a little girl who has arrived this day,...better now that the world is less one dictator.
I'd say that's a pretty good trade with the universe all things considered....don't stop now world!....Assad the asinine awaits his hidy-hole and justice served up by the Syrian people, now that Libyans have demonstrated how to get the job done with a little help from their friends.

I don't think a team full of Belle's would actually do all that well. Think about those teams. You had one guy that everyone had to walk on eggshells around, especially after he did poorly in Belle. To counter that, you had some mellow guys like Thome and Sorrento, a clueless guy in Manny, some prankster types in Omar and Baerga. Those teams had the perfect mix of elite talent and personalities. Heavy emphasis on elite talent.
What we saw in those days was very, very special and very, very unique. A team full of high maintenance asshole types would implode at some point, IMHO.
Meh.... Belle was a reformed drunk and a ticking timebomb, Lofton was a prickly, arrogant, petulant player, Baerga liked his booze and blow (allegedly), Omar was banging everyone but his wife, Robbie Alomar spit in an umpire's face, etc., etc.
But Hannahan, Kotchman and Duncan are good dudes by all accounts. So we have that.
And even if that's the guy you want, there are those like Thome, Matt Williams, Marquis Grissom and Fryman.
Find me 15 guys in this entire organization that are or will soon be above average major league players and I'll eat my hat.

If you're shopping for Pennsylvania home insurance, you are going to have to consider many different factors. One of the most important is "what can I afford?"
If you are paying monthly you need to know how much premium your budget will tolerate. If you are considering a higher deductible to lower your premium, you need to be able to afford to pay it should loss be sustained.
Home insurance and your budget
Part of your financial analysis should involve the discounts offered by various carriers. Each one may have a little different discount structure, but almost all will over lower rates for bundling coverage. Some companies will give a new customer discount while others will reward customer loyalty if you have been with them a while. Home security systems, smoke detectors and burglar alarms all may be rewarded in lower premiums prices. Discounts play a big role in your premium price and you will want to check which you are qualified for.
A big-ticket item would be the replacement of your home should it be destroyed in fire or a natural disaster. You will need to determine if you prefer replacement value over market value, as the two are quite different.
There are virtually always exclusions for earthquakes and floods. These will require you to buy additional policies. If you have expensive and extensive electronics equipment, you may need extra coverage, as well. The same is true of pricey jewelry, antiques or collections you may have.
Customer service and home insurance
In a major disaster, such as a storm, customer service becomes a bigger priority than it might seem while you are making a decision about which carrier to sign with. It is very important to understand how the claim process works and how quickly your carrier will respond in an emergency. You can check consumer review sites online to get an idea of how others have worked with the company.
Today, mobile apps are critical to the way customers like to interact. If filing a claim via your phone is something of interest, find one of the companies that offers this service. If you still like to file the old-fashioned way, by mail, be sure the company allows that.
These are some of the major issues you will have to consider as you undertake your review and comparison of various carriers, plans and pricing.

Children can learn much from animals
There is an undeniable bond between humans and animals. A pet can be a friend to talk to, an exercise partner, a protector, a service animal, a lap warmer, and much more. Pets offer great companionship to people of all ages and teach compassion.
Responsible pet ownership starts with children. Guest contributor is Melanie Bell, community outreach coordinator, Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter at "mailto:email@example.com">firstname.lastname@example.com or www.upaws.org.
What to do
Using animals as an education tool is an excellent gateway to learning about compassion, care, and responsibility. Adults can teach many lessons through animal interaction and discussion.
Asking about children's favorite pet or what kind of pet they would like to have is a great way to engage in a conversation. This can evolve into a discussion about responsibility and what care needs to be provided for their favorite animal. If the family thinks they might enjoy having a pet, research their needs together like feeding, enrichment, cage recommendations, cleaning, time commitments and cost of care.
Information source
Your local humane society is a great place to find information. Teaching children about proper care and treatment of animals needs to happen at a young age to create the responsible pet owners of the future. In addition to learning about necessary care prior to acquiring a new animal, it is equally important to learn about which pet is the right match for your family.
This may mean an older dog is a better match than a puppy based on your family's activity level, but it may also mean a dog is not an appropriate companion all together. Perhaps a guinea pig is a better match. Local humane societies are great places to learn about which animal is right for you.
Grandparents and grandkids are welcome to volunteer as teams at most humane societies. Check age requirements for volunteer children and visitors in your area.
While volunteering, children can get hands-on experience with the daily cleaning of animal cages, exercising, and learning about animal behavior and appropriate interaction.
Volunteering with animals is a great starting point to teach children compassion and empathy toward all creatures, which often times naturally spills over to similar feelings toward human-kind. Very young children can help with a relative's or neighbor's pet. In turn pets are great listeners while children practice their reading.
Many studies indicate young caring volunteers become adults who contribute to the community and give back throughout their lives.
Adults can use the strong human-animal bond to interest children in volunteering and learning about the concept of giving time to those in need.

"Whenever we book deals or anything like that, we're always like 'plane money, plane money!' It's the way you want to travel, absolutely. "
Herbie Hancock
Pianist and composer Herbie Hancock-who ranks among the most influential jazz musicians of the last hundred years-is a bouncy and jovial free spirit. At age 70, he seems as excited about his new Apple iPad as he is about his latest album, The Imagine Project (which is also available as a video). The CD finds him performing with more than a dozen musicians from all over the world-from Pink and John Legend in the U.S. to Colombia's Juanes, the Congo-based band Konono No.1 and the nomadic Saharah Desert band Tinariwen-with most of the 10 songs on the disc recorded in the guest artists' home countries. The result expresses "peace through global collaboration," Hancock explained.
Trained as a classical musician starting at age seven, Hancock became captivated by the jazz scene in high school. Since then, he has won 12 Grammy awards as well as an Oscar for scoring the movie Round Midnight, in which he also acted. In 2008, his River: The Joni Letters-a tribute to his friend Joni Mitchell-became only the second jazz record to win an album-of-the-year Grammy.
Hancock has a long-time love of technology and pioneered the use of new types of instruments, especially synthesizers. But what seems to excite him most these days is not his iPad or his musical endeavors but his spiritual life as a chapter leader at the Buddhist temple near his home in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles.
What influenced your interest in jazz?
When I was 13 I saw a performance of a jazz trio. And this trio had a piano player who was improvising with a bass player and a drummer and doing something I didn't know how to do. So it was kind of curiosity, maybe a little jealousy, but also I liked what I heard and I wanted to learn how to do that.
Classical music, which you started with, can be very rigid.
You're playing someone else's composition and it's always basically the same notes. What intrigued me about jazz and pulled me like a magnet was that I could create my own notes and chord sequences. And I learned more about the structure of music than when I was playing classical music. I learned harmony and a little bit about orchestration and about the creation of melodies from playing jazz and hanging out with musicians and asking them questions and going to jam sessions. Back in those days, they weren't teaching jazz in many schools.
Is it important for musicians to learn the fundamentals before starting to improvise?
I could read music. I didn't know anything about the fundamentals of harmony or the structure of music. Yes, I knew what a major chord was and a minor chord and a diminished chord, but beyond that I didn't know anything. If you're going to be an instrumental performer in classical music, they don't emphasize any of that. They emphasize repertoire, just learning to play pieces. They don't emphasize structure. Whereas playing jazz, it's really necessary to learn those things.
How do you like your iPad?
It's fantastic. I use it for e-mail. I also use my iPhone for e-mail. And for entertainment things. When I really want to relax? Solitaire. It's so basic that it just calms you down completely.
So did you wait for the 3G iPad? Or did you get the first one, with Wi-Fi?
Have you always incorporated technology into your music?
I've had an interest in science since I was a kid. I always want to know what makes things tick. I was one of the people who pushed the music world toward the use of technology. I got my first computer in 1979. An Apple II Plus. And I've had basically all the Apple products since then, including a Lisa that I still own.
You could start a museum.
One time I did that, at the National Association of Music Merchants [convention]. I had my own display of early instruments, early synthesizers and one of the first Rhodes pianos.
How do you feel about the way technology has transformed music distribution?
I completely embrace it. In fact, this record [The Imagine Project] is not on a major label. It's on Hancock Records and it's distributed by an independent company. And I hired my own companies to handle the manufacturing. I didn't go to a major company to do that.
Do you often travel on business jets?
As often as I can. I've been flying privately since the 1980s and I love it.
Do you have a favorite business jet?
Yeah, the Gulfstream G550. It's my preferred airplane when I'm flying in the U.S. because of its spaciousness, comfort level, seat design, speed, reliability and safety. Of course there are some other great companies. I've been on some Falcons and Embraers. Those are nice planes.
Will you fly privately on the upcoming European leg of your tour?
Yes, on an ATR 42-300 [twin turboprop] chartered from Hangar8 in the UK. It will carry me, my five-piece band, my tour and production managers, techs and all our gear. There's often a show in a different city every night, so this was definitely the way to go. We usually leave first thing in the morning for the next stop to allow time to unload, get gear to the venue, check into the hotel, freshen up and make it to soundcheck by late afternoon.
You've accomplished a lot. Is there anything on your bucket list?
I want to get back into classical music but in a new way, and also I want to get more into writing for larger structures, like orchestras. That's something that's gotten harder for me to do over the years. It's like the ink gets a little dry if you don't use the pen. So you gotta refill the pen and continue that process.
What do you do for fun when you're not thinking about music?
Play with computers. But also, in my practice of Buddhism I'm a chapter leader so there are members that I'm responsible for. You're dealing with people's inner lives, so it's a big responsibility.
It's not something you can just jump into.
You wouldn't jump into being the chapter leader. Practicing you can jump into. To start practice is easy. There's a phrase that we say: "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo." Chanting that over and over is the fundamental part of the practice. It's the recitation of the law, the sound of the law of life. You're dealing with cause and effect. So it's very compatible with the scientific method in a way.
The interesting thing about Buddhism is that Buddhism is the middle way. I think that what they're saying is that they don't believe in how most people define God. Buddhism would say the same thing. We think of God as something that's not external. It's internal. It's the essence of life. We just don't use the word "God." It's not that we're godless; it doesn't mean that.
What led you to create The Imagine Project?
This one is about peace through global collaboration. It's more about taking steps proactively toward creating the kind of environment that we want our children and our children's children to live in. Rather than waiting for someone else to create it for us. Or rather than just complaining about how awful it might be. In a way, this record is a call to arms for people to start actively participating in writing their own future.
Does music still have the power to influence people?
Hopefully music has power to change people to what they really are.
Is The Imagine Project about more than Herbie Hancock?
It's my vision, but I believe the essence of it is within the human spirit.
And were the artists you collaborated with chosen because of something about their spirit?
For many it was that. When we started putting together names of who we might like to have on the record, I remember the name Juanes was brought up. There was a video on YouTube. It's him performing in Havana. You see a banner behind him that says "paz sin fronteras," which means peace without borders. So I said, "That's great-that's exactly the spirit of what this record is about." And then I got the chance to meet him, to discuss putting a track together with him. He was really pleased with the purpose of this record and he said this is where he lives in his heart and he was excited about being a part of it.
Jazz is all about improvisation. Has your life been an improvisation, too?
Very much so. I think that's the beauty of life-learning to develop the confidence to not be afraid of circumstances that may confront you.
In other words, don't resist?
Right. Life would be dull without obstacles. You'd never learn anything, you'd never grow, you'd be bored and try to commit suicide. Certainly you can't be happy without obstacles, because true happiness is the victory of turning an obstacle into something of value. That's the hidden beauty with struggle.
What kind of obstacles have you faced?
Getting up in the morning [laughs]. Musicians are not used to getting up in the morning, but I've changed that. Practicing Buddhism, I've gotten to the point where I want to get up and go down to the center and do the morning prayers with some other members. It's a good way to start my day.
Kind of a spiritual jump-start?
Exactly. But you asked me a serious question: what kind of obstacles have I faced? Let's just take this situation of making this record. The first thing I thought about was, why do I want to make a record? What purpose would it serve? There's an obstacle in a sense. It's a quandary, but to make that kind of decision is an important first step. If I hadn't made that step, this kind of record would never have happened.
It's got to have a purpose?
I've come to the point in my life where this is the new reality for me. I feel a more value-creating approach to making music.

Rated 2 out of 5�by BallbaseMom7 Baseball Mom I bought a pair of these for my son about a year & a half ago. At the beginning of All-star season they grew legs, so I had to buy another pair. Well the pair I bought is not made like the first pair, because within 2-3 weeks the lens kept falling out. And, after pushing the lens back in time & time again the frame broke. The good part is the store has a 90 days store warranty & I purchased the extended warranty. I am really considering adding the extra money to get a more quality part of sunglasses, because having to go back in forth to the store is costly went you stay 45 mins to an hour away from a Dick's Sporting Goods.

Rated 3 out of 5�by diamondmom421 son likes them Son picked these out for baseball practice. He likes them. They are ok for the price but i suspect not very durable for a 12 year old. March 29, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by Charlie3097 You get what you pay for I bought these for my 8 year old daughter. She loved the way they looked and they fit great. However, after about 3 weeks the lenses started come out and the nose pad fell off, being lost forever. They finally were accidentally crushed under a teammate's foot in the dugout. This, of course, is not a criticism against the glasses, as any pair of sunglasses would have been ruined after being crushed. We will be buying her new sunglasses, but I don't know if we will be buying these again because of how easily the lenses and nosepads fall off. . June 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by CSP disappointed The shipping of this product took forever, then when we received and my child put on he said they felt funny, crooked, one side closer to his right eye then left. So far bit very happy with this product, we will Wii and see how he feels when on the field. April 4, 2014

Accommodation summary
|Calle mira el sol, 28005 Madrid, Spain
|Property type
|Property ID
The flat is perfectly located in a sunny and quiet street between LAVAPIÉS, the most bohemien area of Madrid with a popular atmosphere and LA LATINA, the Rastro market area.
It's a friendly multicultural neighbourhood, where you can find sunny terraces to taste authentic spanish cuisine but also an international offer and cool hangouts. Plus, you will be at a short walk from the Museum area of Madrid: Reina Sofia, Prado, Thyssen and Caixa Forum.
It is a great place to start your exploration of the city! The street where the flat is located will lead you directly to the Rastro vintagemarket every sunday, a must-see in town.
Plus, you will be:
1 tube stop from Sol
2 stops from Callao.
anyway in Madrid people gets used fast to the national sport: walking! Up&down the hills! Forget the metro and start to explore the town because you will be 15 minutes walking from any other great center areas: Huertas/Triball/Malasaña/Chueca.
Bank at the corner
Supermarket /Market /Take aways at a short walk
Grocery shops opened until late all around the area
Vegetarian shops& bio market at the corner:)
Jumped out of the Metro (line 3 or 1) in just 5 minutes by walk you'll reach the 65mq apartament, located in an antique typical spanish building, but renovated with elevator.
We offer you a nice & bright flat for 2 up to 4 GUESTS with a colourful energyzing eclectic look & ethnic decor. The best part: 4 tiny balconies facing at the quiet street with no noise&traffic.
The flat is PERFECT FOR A COUPLE, it will be a huge suite to get some rest after a day of city walking:)
But we think the flat is a great solution also for FAMILIES with KIDS or a a GROUP OF FRIENDS, because it has 2 BEDROOMS, (one bigger and one smaller) and the two couches are eventually suitable as extra-beds if you are more than 4:)
Also we have a crib for a baby.
So no matter what kind of trip you're planning (romantic trip for two/family trip/friends reunion trip..) we have a solution for you!

Reviews of this property
The stay at marta was great, uncomplicated and easily.
The apartment is well furnished and centrally located., We have felt ourselves very well.
the address can highly recommend.
Der Aufenthalt bei marta war toll, unkompliziert und problemlos.
Die Wohnung ist gut eingerichtet und zentral gelegen., Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
die adresse kann man uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
Marta nous a réservé un accueil chaleureux et était super disponible. L'appartement était propre et fidèle aux photos. Il y a tout pour se sentir comme chez soi! Point de départ idéal pour sillonner la ville, le quartier est vivant avec plein de commerçants et la rue très calme.
Marta nous a même envoyé un petit guide des endroits où aller à Madrid.
Je recommande à 100%
Een mooie plek om te vertoeven. Lavapies en het eraan vast gelegen La Latina zijn zeer kleurrijk. Het appartement is qua inrichting ook kleurrijk, maar de inboedel is absoluut niet compleet. Geen goede stoelen om te zitten, bijna geen kookgerei en geen airco! Bedden zijn wel ok.
Op redelijke loopafstand van het toeristisch centrum ( 15 minuten) en dichtbij metro en treinstation heel gemakkelijk bereikbaar. Info vooraf van eigenaresse was plezierig, bij sleutelovergave helaas een zeer korte info door een vriend van haar.
Als je dus niet veel comfort hoeft, maar wel op een hele fijne plek in Madrid wilt zijn, is dit een goede keuze!

A/I PSI Jabber Client Configuration Howto
Install psi and launch it: it will prompt you with the "Add Account" panel.
In the "Name" field fill in your e-mail address (firstname.lastname@example.com) and click on "Add". Now the software will prompt you with the "Account properties" panel.
In the "Jabber ID" field fill in your e-mail address and click on the
"Connection" tab.
It would be better not to fill in your password at this stage (because it would be saved in your Preferences and thus in your filesystem): you can always type it every time you launch Psi.
Mark the checkbox "Use SSL encryption" and in the "Host" field fill in
Check that the connection port is "5222" and move on to the "Preferences" tab.
Mark the "Ignore SSL warnings", and save your configuration. Now you can launch Psi, type your password and chat using jabber via Psi client. :)

Expiration Date:?Mar 2019Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.24 lbs (0.11 kg)Shipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Fewer than 45 percent of applicants to medical schools nationwide are accepted, but for MC students, there's a program designed to improve those odds.
In 2005, MC launched the master of medical science program. This rigorous, one-year, graduate-level program is designed for students who plan to apply to medical or dental school and want to improve their chances of admission, students who applied to medical or dental school immediately after undergraduate school but were rejected, and students who wish to prepare for careers in medical research.
The master of medical science curriculum includes many courses taught at the medical school level. As a result, program graduates apply to and enter medical school having already covered much of the first-year medical school coursework. But more than just the classes themselves, the fast pace and heavy volume of the work mimics the first year of medical school. In the competitive world of medical school admissions, that preparation makes a real difference.
"Admission committees at medical schools want to know whether or not candidates are capable of performing at the medical school level," says Dr. Stan Baldwin, dean of the School of Science and Mathematics and chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, who created and spearheads the master of medical science program. "They can trust this program as proof that a student who completes it is of medical school timbre.
"Another thing that I like about the master of medical sciences is that it's a program of second chances," Dr. Baldwin continues. "The program allows good candidates who didn't get into medical school the first time they applied for some reason – maybe they had to work, or maybe life just happened – the chance to make another statement. Medical schools are aware of situations like those. If a student shows the dedication and drive to follow a rejection with hard work and perse-verance, that person might be a strong candidate the second time around."
The first master of medical science class in 2005 enrolled less than 20 students. Today, the program enrolls approximately 200 students from some 130 colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada, as well as a number of physicians from India who study at MC before taking the medical boards that allow them to practice in the United States. Students currently enrolled in the program completed undergraduate studies at prestigious universities including Harvard, Duke, UCLA, Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins, and many others.
"The master of medical science program was by far the hardest and most rewarding experience that I have had thus far," says Oduche Igboechi, a 2009 Harvard graduate who completed the MC program and has since been accepted into the "Tulane University School of Medicine. "From day one, I was expected to perform at the level of a medical student, which is no small task. Being thrown into a sink-or-swim situation like that really allowed me to progress in my academic development. After this rigorous curriculum, I know without a doubt that I am indeed ready for medical school."
Since the program is structured to offer a genuine test of whether or not a student is a good candidate for medical school, it's not surprising that sometimes, the answer is no. But according to Dr. Baldwin, that's not necessarily a negative outcome.
"The acceptance rate into medical school for students who complete this program is very good. On the other hand, some students who enroll in this program quickly realize they are not strong candidates for medical school, and that they're actually better suited for other careers," Dr. Baldwin says. "Many of the students who choose another option are very thankful that they didn't spend many years and many thousands of dollars pursuing a path that was ultimately not right for them."
"Students who are able to navigate the MC masters program graduate with a well-earned, rightfully placed confidence that makes a tremendous difference when they get to medical school," says Dr. F. Scott Kennedy, assistant dean of student admissions at Louisiana State University School of Medicine, Shreveport. "Would I recommend Mississippi College's master of medical science program to a student I was trying to help? Absolutely. I would even go so far as to say it is the only such program I would recommend."
"More and more students from other states are 'discovering' our program, largely through referrals from other universities and medical schools," Dr. Baldwin says. "Our current enrollment of about 200 students is optimum, but we do want to continue recruiting efforts to ensure those 200 students represent the best candidates for the program. Our goal is to recruit the best possible students, who will go on to become the best possible doctors."
The MC program's reputation for producing those best possible students is growing among medical schools nationwide.
"Dr. Baldwin and his team at Mississippi College are outstanding in their instruction," Dr. Kennedy says. "If a student is recommended by Stan Baldwin and Mississippi College, we know that student is truly prepared for medical school."
MC's Medical Sciences Highlights
Many courses in the MC pre-med curriculum are taught at the medical school level. these advanced level courses are excellent preparation for medical school, typically resulting in better grades in medical school and higher board scores. Courses taught at the first-year medical school level include human gross anatomy, medical physiology, human neuroanatomy, histology, pharmacology, and human embryology. Because courses are taught at the medical school level, MC is able to offer the national Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) subject board exams to undergraduate and graduate students. these exams are commonly given to medical school students at the end of each course taken in medical school. Mississippi College is the only university in the country where undergraduates can take these exams. Many MC medical sciences students score at or better than the national average compared to medical school students taking the same subject board exams. MC's top scores fall above the 90th percentile, which means these MC students scored higher than 90 percent of all medical school students taking the same exam nationwide.
More Room to Operate
In the fall of 2012, a new, 20,000-square-foot building will open adjacent to the Hederman Science Building that will create more classroom and laboratory space for both the master of medical science program and MC's undergraduate pre-medical programs. The as-yet-unnamed building will include a 5,000-square–foot human gross anatomy lab comparable to that available in a medical school. Plans for the new building include several opportunities for recognizing major donors through the naming of laboratories, classrooms, and the building itself. If you are interested in this form of lasting recognition, please contact Dr. Bill Townsend at 601.925.3257 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

@PB so glad to hear things are moving along. It's gonna be a slog but one I am certain will be fairly quick (in getting its legs), incredibly interesting, fun and rewarding for you.My fam loves Baltimore (dad was a Hopkins undergrad ages ago and lil sis recently got a master's there). Great town with lots of character and history.With great anticipation,JW
Terry, are you are near University of Maryland Medical Center, or am I thinking of someone else?Thanks. --K
Kelly,That is cool. Your space reminds me of this: and .Peter

That place Rocks! Love, love the floors ( your not tearing those out are you? )You may have mentioned this before but where in Baltimore is your joint located? ThanksScot
Looks like a cool old VFW hall or summ'in. I'm sure you're probably going to fancy it up but I can't help but picture a family style seating place....can almost picture the pinball machines lining one wall and hear the player piano rolling away in the background. Ah yes.....
How's it going??
Very exciting. Quite a transformation of the front elevation. The "Hampden Comes Alive" pie looks familiar
The Aleppo Calabrian combo is great.

I'm not sure if I like nutritional yeast. It has a strange flavor and smell.
Nutritional Yeast Flakes.
Posted by Reviewer1382860 on Dec 08, 2010
This is another staple in my kitchen... since the 70's when it was labeled Brewers Yeast. However I do not know if this brand is the best; it happens to be the only one I have found since I moved back to California. In Montana I was able to buy 5 pound bags of nutritional yeast for under $23. That tasted very good and was affordable on a Senior's limited budget.
it helps

tastes fine
First time
Posted by 5236132988599952269 on Aug 01, 2016
Taste weird at first, but used to eat the flakes after several days. I prefer to put some on the bread with jam together than into juices.
Posted by tenderly on Aug 20, 2016
lo compré para complementar mi dieta ya que viene con b12 y otras vitaminas necesarias, tiene un sabor salado muy característico, no tanto a queso como dicen pero perfecto para platos salados. mi única queja es que el envase es demasiado grande para el contenido, viene lleno solamente hasta la mitad, quizás un poco menos, sigue siendo una cantidad considerable pero podrían venderlo en envases más pequeños.

It tastes bitter to me no matter what I do and my pets were not exited about it, so bit disappointed
Posted by snowfitness1 on Oct 22, 2007
I use nutritional yeast on my popcorn, and this was ok. The brand I get at my local health food store has a nicer taste.

Tyra Banks Gossip
Tyra Banks gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Supermodel Throwdown
There's girl sh-t, boy sh-t, sibling sh-t, and then there's Supermodel Sh-t. We don't get it often, mostly because the real supermodels don't give a lot of interviews. But when it happens it's glorious because their shade has been honed in an industry that values judgyness and c-ntiness (see: Tom Ford, Anna Wintour, Karl Lagerfeld). Full Story
Tyra Banks's new son, York
All Access Photo/ Splash News
I will freely admit that I initially misread Tyra Banks' son's name – her son who, she revealed yesterday, was born via gestational surrogate. Not being up on her boyfriend, photographer Erik Asla, I thought she named the baby York Banks Asia. She didn't, but I hadn't slept and I was all set to screech about how you can't just throw nouns together and make them a name. Full Story
Drizzy & TyTy?
Um...how much do I love this?Sasha and I spent a few minutes perving over it on our call this morning.Tyra Banks and Drake were spotted together at Disneyland this weekend. Someone iPhoned them. Are they doing it? Oh I hope so. Click here to see the photos. Full Story
Sashay writing
Not sure about these poses Tyra Banks was throwing down last night at Teen Choice. Or that, um, her leather jumpsuit was the best selection on the carpet. But that's not really why Tyra made the blog today. Tyra made the blog today because Jessica sent me something crazy the other day and I needed to find a way, with photos, to include it. Full Story
No Toe is Better than Camel Toe
But still…no toe is f&cking weird. Here's Tyra in NYC today wearing skin tight and spandex and hiding from an in-between-weave day. Crazy thing is – this reminds me of a man trying to be a woman and hiding his junk only to look like a man trying to be a woman and hiding his junk, know what I mean? You remember that scene from Silence of the Lambs when the serial killer tucks his peepee between his legs and totters around? I'm telling you – I can't look at Tyra Banks the same way ever again. Full Story
There's a classic scene, I think it's in Be Cool – Vince Vaughn's killer improv. All he says is "why you trippin'" in a hip hop accent over and over again. I think I'm trippin'. Because Tyra hasn't looked like this in YEARS. Maybe even a decade. Full Story

The value of training and the importance of regulatory legislation in the industry will be two focuses at this year's National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) Expo being held April 2 to 5 in Dallas. Michael Martin, NWFA executive director and CEO, told Floor Covering Weekly assistant editor Mallory Cruise that he has a number of plans designed to make 2013 a successful year for its members.
What is the state of NWFA training?
Martin: NWFA completely restructured its technical training program this year in response to the needs of the industry. It has become increasingly difficult for contractors to incur the expense of travel, lodging and meals on top of being away from the job to attend NWFA training in St. Louis, so we restructured our program to be offered regionally as one-day workshops that are held during the course of a full week. In this way, contractors can attend one to six workshops during a week-long regional training program that minimizes travel-related expenses. Attendees can attend one workshop, two workshops, or up to six workshops per regional session. That way, they can attend only the training they truly need without having to commit to a full week away from the job.
What is the goal of NWFA training?
Martin: The goal of our training is to give contractors the skills and knowledge they need to do the job right, resulting in happy customers. We cover all phases of the installation process, including moisture identification/mitigation; subfloor preparation; installation methods; factory finish repair and recoat sand and finish methods; and, field equipment repair. This approach to training lets the contractor focus on the skills where he or she needs to improve, while taking them through the entire installation process.
What new programs are being offered?
Martin: During 2013, the six one-day workshops are available in the following regions: New York City, San Francisco, Deerfield Beach, Florida, Los Angeles, Houston and St. Louis. We also will offer a summer workshop series in St. Louis, which includes those sessions previously mentioned, as well as reclaimed wood/handscraping craftsmanship; advanced to expert; and, wood flooring basics.
Where are you with RPP?
Martin: The Responsible Procurement Program (RPP) provides manufacturers with a tangible way to show their commitment to using products from forests that can be proven to come from sustainable locations with its U.S. Renewing Forests logo. The program is a step-wise approach to becoming FSC certified, providing a starting point in the process that is often a stumbling block to fully achieving FSC certification when a manufacturer first starts to manage chain of custody sourcing processes. A third-party audit is performed on sourcing, which verifies the chain of custody.
The most current happenings within RPP is the development of a Woodland Sustainability Program Grant through the NWFA Research Foundation, whereby all wood product manufacturers and environmentally concerned organizations can fund the development of RPP and FSC certification.
What other areas of the hardwood business need attention?
Martin: Certification programs need to be directly tied to training programs. NWFA hired a new director of Certification and Training earlier this year who will be developing programs to integrate our training and certification programs. We will be offering this for the first time this month.
Michael Martin

Skip to comments.Beck on the ObamaCare ruling: I sure am tired of prominent Republicans selling out conservatives
Posted on 06/28/2012 10:07:19 PM PDT by Bigtigermike
A sentiment widely shared today, no doubt. Over at Aces place, DrewM issues a warning:
Dear GOP,
This is your last chance. If you blow this, Im out and you need to be destroyed.
What is it? Repeal ObamaCare on Day 1. Dont worry about replace, dont worry about anything else
[A]s soon as Mitt takes the oath of office, before his speech no one will care or remember, walk the bill up to him at the podium to sign.
If this does not happen, the GOP must be destroyed and a new party built to replace it. Weve tried the carrot approach (votes, money, volunteers) to change your behavior. Now its time to show you the stick.
David Frum counters: If you think the GOPs going to repeal ObamaCare now, youre kidding yourselves.
"[E]ven if Republicans do win the White House and Senate in 2012, how much appetite will they then have for that 1-page repeal bill? Suddenly it will be their town halls filled with outraged senior citizens whose benefits are threatened; their incumbencies that will be threatened. Already we are hearing that some Republicans wish to retain the more popular elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Which means the proposed 1-page bill will begin to grow
Republicans will find the task of writing their replace law even more agonizing than the Democrats found original passage. The party has no internal consensus on what a replacement would look like. Worse, any replacement of the laws popular elements will require financing. But where is that money to come from? New taxes are unacceptable. The proceeds of closing loopholes are already spoken forthats how President Romney has promised to finance his promise to cut the top rate of tax 28%. And hes also promised to increase defense spending "
Thats all fine, but Drews captured the mood of the base well in his post, I think. If the GOP ends up with the numbers to repeal O-Care, itd be a catastrophic, possibly politically fatal betrayal at this point for them not to follow through. The fact that it was Roberts who swung to the left in todays decision rather than the mercurial Kennedy only compounds conservatives trauma: At this point, a la Beck, it really does feel like theres no one in a position of power who can be trusted. The last Republican president ran up big deficits and expanded health-care entitlements; the Republican chief justice he appointed just voted to uphold ObamaCare; and the current Republican nominee pioneered the concept of health-care mandates in Massachusetts. If a Republican-controlled Congress rubber-stamps Obamas health-care leviathan by refusing to act on it, I dont know what happens to turnout in 2014 and 2016. Good news for the No Labels crowd, I guess thatll be the closest Americas come yet to seeing a true third party develop. Democrats on the left, conservatives on the right, and the no-labels rump of the GOP smack dab in the center. They might as well take their chances with angry seniors at those townhalls; you might win them back eventually, but you wont win back righties whove suffered one too many sellouts.
I miss Glenn Beck on FNC. He kicks butts, that is why he was shoved off.
Agree with Beck on this one, there is always 1 Supreme Court Justice that sells out to the leftists to give them these kinds of wild ass rulings.

Amen. We will never see repeal of most of this.
That is their day one. Basically their Zero Hour.
If it is not completely erased, no matter how many idiot geezers complain, then goodbye. If the NDP and the LibDems could go from goofy 3rd party also-rans to official opposition, then we have no excuses here.
I posted this on the michaelsavage thread but I am so disgusted with all of these talk show 'hosts' I wanted to post it here as well.
abandon hope all ye who enter here and romney wont win?
savage is a total downer
that woman who called today was crying and savage said NOTHING to console her
I have been suspicious of him for a long time-he is an opportunist preying on the scared conservative public
heck all these talk show hosts are preying on your fear - and asking you to buy lifelock and blinds and flowers,
follow the money- watch a face in the crowd-it applies to talk show hosts as well as obama and the liberals, george soros may have sent it to beck but it is also an example of msnbc, the huffington post and moveon.org
If the GOP take the presidency, the House and the Senate conservative causes will be the last things on their minds.
Good news bad news for Roberts?
On one hand Chief Justice Roberts just earned himself some
plum commencement address offers for next Spring. That is
something conservative justices never get. The downside is
that if the BO man doesn't get re-elelcted and Obumblecare
goes up in smoke then the universities will forget all about
Savage is a realist.
Republicans, democrats, doesn't matter anymore. They all fall under the category of greedy politician now. Both parties are equally guilty of siding with the moneychangers, and 300 million plus people are stuck in the middle of their power struggle, and are merely pawns in a quest for more control.
Effective after midnight December 31st, Obamacare, will be intact and remains so until which time our illustrious congress will muster any of their soon to be exhausted interest (once they are re-elected and newly elected) to persue some changes here and there in the thing, while Romney the socialist will triangulate from the White House, in the manner of Obama, letting congress take all the shots and the risks.
That is, IF, Romney wins, and IF Republisocaialists take the senate, and IF the less socialist Republicans hold the House of Representatives, and IF China does not call in our debt.
My comment at the hotair article:
If this does not happen, the GOP must be destroyed and a new party built to replace it.
Love the idea. I think we all can agree that Republican is a tarnished brand, with a country club reputation, not Joe the Plumber.
Just dumping the Republican name will win us several points in the polls. But theres more. Its time we cater to Joe the Plumber, and the country clubbers and most of the old authoritarian guard will come along.
What does Joe the Plumber want? Ask him. Thats the replacement party we need to create. I know that Joe doesnt like the antiquated cr@p that the old guard still finds a rationale for supporting. Joe pretty much is going to talk like John Stossel, I think. Thats where the new majority is going to be found; thats what is going to explode the left right paradigm as it currently exists.
Yeah but the good news is that McCaine and Sarah didn't win.
It would have been much worse in the US today had they won.
The DNC thanks you for your purity.
if everything was swell, we wouldn't listen, now would we?...
exception of course is Rush..yes he sells stuff...but he's not writing books every other month or having rallies or shows to pay for and come too...
I trust him more than the others...Sean is trustworthy too I guess...at least he's consistant...
but Beck and Savage....they'll have us twist in the wind rather than actually do something constructive or talk constructively...THEY TALK IN CIRCLES...
Savage did this with Bush and McCain...and Beck never did endorse or encourage us to vote McCain...sure, its hard to do....and against bamey boy...
You're gonna burn some egos with that post.
The GOP mantra for 2012 should be: "Suck it up and vote."
Name the Republicans who voted in favor of Obamacare?
Why would anyone want Beck on their side, since he enjoys shooting Republicans in the back, frequently.
Beck is a loose cannon, often shooting in the wrong direction.
You are delusional.
Third Party talk is for those who do not want to win, at anything.
[ I miss Glenn Beck on FNC. He kicks butts, that is why he was shoved off. ]
The Blaze TV!
He is on that!
I can name one republican who voted for Obamacare and that would
be Justice Roberts!!!!"
David Frum claims that seniors will be outraged if the GOP tries to repeal Obamacare? Seriously?
I wonder if these seniors know that Obamacare cuts $500 billion from Medicare. Also, Obamacare will ultimately lead to healthcare rationing and those imfamous death panels Sarah Palin warned about. "Sorry, grandma, you need a heart valve replacement? You're 88 years old. Go home, take a pill, and prepare to meet your maker."
What a country.
"Name the Republicans who voted in favor of Obamacare?"
Olympia Snowe voted to let it out of committee in the Senate. She could have stopped it cold. There's a reason she retired this year. It would have been nicer had Maine Republicans been able to primary her and defeat her, though.
What win? The GOP has never cut spending and never blinked at raising the debt ceiling. You are delusional.
I have to hand it to Obama and his administration - they set out to fundamentally transform this country to what they want and they are stopping at absolutely nothing to get it done. They don't go weak in the knees and spend a ton of time worrying about what the Republicans think. They are absolutely ruthless, shameless, and have no fear of the law. They are doing what is necessary. Obama has no respect for the Constitution and he's successfully shredded it.
I will fight through November but - we did that in 2010 and in the end what did it get us? Maybe moving to a GOP state is an option - if they can escape this monstrosity.
Hi Kansas, I'm not talking third party. I'm talking replacing the Repubs. Plus, this would be in the future sometime, certainly not 2012.
I fear that if the Republicans do not repeal Obamacare in toto, they will share the fate of the British Liberal Party which broke up in the 1920s and has never sinve chosen a prime minister, even though a large number of constituencies have always voted Liberal. And there is no conservative equivalent to the Labour Party to assume the role of alternative.
Michael Weiner is a liberal Democrat. Nobody should take the 'Savage' character seriously. Glenn Beck is a closet Romneybot, likewise always acting.
Yes and yes
Why don't we just secede? I'm sure that could be a bipartisan effort, the libs hate us just as much as we hate them. Solid blue states became a new nation, solid red states become a new nation, purple states choose which to belong to through popular vote. Open borders for the first few years for blue state conservatives/red state liberals to migrate over. What's the issue here?
There is nothing of value to win, except in the collapse of the entire Federal Government. Eventually liberals will bring that about for us, and when they do I hope to be fully prepared both individuality and politically to take advantage of the crisis to fully and permanently sever the abusive bonds of union with them.
If the Republican party wants to sell us out again and again, then we must seek new bonds for our happiness and security. As is obliviously the case when it comes to these united States formerly united under a real constitution.
The issue is Washington doesn't want to give up its dictatorial power (as dysfunctional for everyone else as it is), and those of us who haven't quite got the clue thou their head that we can't compromise.
Then there are of course those still attached to the sentimental bonds of union of which i suspect there may still be a great many particularly among those oblivious to the extraordinary and growing cost.
"This could do to the GOP what the Kansas-Nebreska act to the Whigs-destroy it"
On this I agree, such is the magnitude of the present crisis.
But even if it is, Roberts has established the precedent for the use of a tax to compel anything. Buy a GM Obamamobile or pay a tax; buy solar company stock or pay a penalty, for examples. We will have to be ever vigilant in every Congress.
So, if it is a tax, then companies are going to prefer to pay the tax. However, hiring overseas means they will get the tax loophole. Meanwhile everyday Americans who cannot afford the tax will get a IRS lien or jail time, and their passport will be confiscated!!!!????
What kind of fascist system is this? We had Nazis, communists and now we have the IRS and US.gov bureaucracy.
Time to head for the hills and run out to Mexico, or go illegal and work on the black market.
Heck, Michelle Obama says black kids become stupid watching TV. So, guess what, we will have our German tax on owning a TV.
You know, I believe TV is evil, as a Christian, but, hey, I was not going to be the theocratic type forcing people to not watch it.... but it is OK to be Michelle Zero and tell people they cannot watch TV or drink slurpies.
Man, where are those evil right wing christian extremists when you have Michelle Zero coming up with fascist crap like this.
Third Party talk is for those who do not want to win, at anything.
Tell that to the republicans about 160 years ago.
Have third parties won anything in the last 100 years?
You got it .
It isn't the party that counts any longer.
They are all in it for the perks and the money.
Vote NO on incumbency.
Anyone in the Congress now needs to be removed.
I had quit listening to Beck months ago, during his constant Newt bashing. I wanted to hear the SCOTUS decision at work, so I switched on Beck and he's still bashing Newt. What an ass Beck is. He did all he could to get us comrade Romney though.
We need to understand that we can't let this tax stand. First, I have severe doubts that their will even be elections. The Progressive take-over is essentially complete and they are not just going to walk-away from the table and let it be un-done. The nothing-ever-happens-here crowd needs to wake up because it is happening. All Obama needs is some civil disobedience here and for the Middle East to blow up, which looks like will happen this summer or fall. Then he pulls out the teleprompter and reads his the world is in a precarious place and it would be careless for us as Americans to go through this transition to a new administration at this time crap and woila its game over. Remember with the NDAA and other EO's he can pretty much do whatever he wants.
Second, I do not believe for a second that Romney will live up to his promise to repeal it on day one. He's going to use this tax as a platform to grab the conservative vote, who will hold their noses just long enough to pull the lever for Romeny. He needs the Senate anyway to pull it off even if he really wanted too, which Im not sure he does. But if they do then you would get minorities and the poor rising up in the streets because someone just took away their free health care.
Yes. To me they are all snake oil hustlers until proven otherwise, and so far none are proven otherwise. Even in political offices, you'll occasionally find a diamond in the dung heap.
Excellent post. This BS game is over. Romney was brought forward to assure socialized medicine and fulfill fedzilla's need for ever expanding power.
I really don't know how these media types can sleep with themselves...playing this stage game and perpetrating this fraud (R vs D) on the American people. Maybe they are just that dumb....?
Moving to a different state of submission?
A true option is to quit paying income tax, which you can do without legal repercussions by quitting the behavior of making income. That is, if you think the America you love is worth a sacrifice of some degree of comfort, affluence, and lifestyle.
If enough people stopped paying, the government would collapse in a matter of weeks or even days. If people organized and did it, with specific demands, there would not even be time for discussion. They could demand anything -- any law, any resignations, any repeal -- and get it, just by taking the pursestring reins in hand.
Moving will get you nowhere different.
Voting will get you nowhere different.
Is this a threat or a promise? I like the idea of some kind of line in the sand.
First we suceed from the GOP!
Repeal ObamaCare!
First we suceed from the GOP!
