Sixteen-year-old Seph McCauley has spent the past three years getting kicked out of one exclusive private school after another. Unfortunately it's not his attitude that's the problem. It's the trail of magical accidentslately, disastersthat follow in his wake. Seph is a wizard, orphaned and untrained--and now that the only person who could protect him has died, his powers are escalating out of control.
After causing a tragic fire at an after-hours party, Seph is sent to the Havens, a secluded boys' school on the coast of Maine. At first, it seems like the answer to his prayers. Gregory Leicester, the headmaster, promises to train Seph in magic and initiate him into his mysterious order of wizards. But Seph's enthusiasm dampens quickly when he learns that training comes at a steep cost, and that Leicester plans to use his students' powers to serve his own mysterious agenda.
In this companion novel to the exciting fantasy The Warrior Heir, everyone's got a secret to keep: Jason Haley, a fellow student who's been warned to keep away from Seph; the enchanter Linda Downey, who knew his parents; the rogue wizard Leander Hastings, and the warriors Jack Swift and Ellen Stephenson. This wizard war is one that Seph may not have the strength to survive.

Before a crime is committed in deed, it is committed in thought – if only for a split second. Those who work in criminal justice know that if they can understand the mindset behind a crime, they can more quickly solve it and bring the perpetrator to justice. UNH's criminal justice and public safety programs are psychology-based, endowing you with a keen grasp of crime-solving and public safety issues. The depth of coverage you will receive in these programs is virtually unmatched.
Concentrate on what interests you most.
In addition to the common courses for all criminal justice students in the bachelor's program, you can choose from six concentrations:
- Corrections
- Crime Analysis
- Investigative Services
- Juvenile & Family Services
- Law Enforcement Administration
- Victim Services Administration
Earn your associate's degree by completing the first two years of the bachelor's program with either the law enforcement administration concentration or the corrections concentration.
Combine that interest with a complementary minor.
Certain minors are superb partners for a criminal justice degree — forensic science, fire science, and arson/fire investigation, for example.
You can also complete certificates in areas such as law enforcement science, computer forensic investigations, information protection and security, and private security.
One of these additional skill sets will greatly enhance your value to future employers.
Get the fieldwork that tests your knowledge and your mettle.
Internships and co-op opportunities will give you irreplaceable, hands-on field experience so that you can apply what you learn in class. Your work will be in selected federal, state, or local criminal justice agencies with faculty supervision, guidance, and review. Our internships are meaningful in that they are relevant to our students' area of interest.
The department also participates in the cooperative education program. With this program, you'll not only get practical experience in your career field, you'll also get paid for it!
Reap the benefits of a large alumni network.
The criminal justice program at UNH is one of the oldest, largest, and best-known programs in the United States. That means we have a large alumni network — one that works very much in your favor. UNH alumni have a reputation for staying involved with students, and our criminal justice alumni are especially supportive. They'll give you a ton of networking opportunities that can help move you along your career path.

Tokushu 7oz Hybrid Gloves
- Product Code
The tokushu™ 7oz Hybrid gloves are an essential piece of training equipment. Transitioning from striking to grappling is easy with the hybrid design. The Dual-X™ Wrist Closure system provides exceptional wrist support and the 7oz design allows you to strike with confidence. The tokushu™ 7oz Hybrid gloves are the perfect gloves for all your MMA training needs. The tokushu's hybrid gloves also contain a specialized Ecta™ carbonized bamboo lining to deliver a comfort and quality that you only get with Hayabusa. The activated carbon in the lining provides thermo regulating properties and deodorizing effects.
- Developed from World-leading University research
- Most versatile glove specially designed for all training
- Ergonomic fit and feel for ultimate grappling and striking performance
- Patented Dual-X™ closure system for optimal wrist support and striking dynamics
- Exclusive Engineered Leather Vylar™ for unmatched performance and durability
- Unique Ecta™ Activated Carbonized Bamboo Lining for ultimate comfort, thermo regulating properties, and deodorizing effects.
Injury avoidance is critical in martial arts. Fighters need advanced protection against common musculoskeletal injuries from misfired punches and improper hand/wrist alignment. Hayabusa has patented an advanced glove design that ensures the athlete is protected to the highest degree possible, and that no energy leaks occur - maximizing punching power. The Dual-X™ closure and Fusion Splinting™ systems provide perfect ergonomic alignment of the athletes' hand and wrist. University testing, using axial pressure sensors, demonstrated the superiority of this design in guarding against harmful flexion, extension, and twisting. State of the art protection and unmatched quality, combined with hard scientific proof, means Hayabusa has truly engineered a superior fight glove.
A barrage of tests at the University of Cincinnati identified a new high performance engineered leather material, called Vylar™, as the best candidate for the surface of Hayabusa's gloves. Though leather is in fact an excellent material, this research looked to push the limits of what gloves can withstand. Vylar™ was tested in extreme conditions to ensure it would excel in continuous hardcore training and repeated fight conditions. From surface abrasion, flexibility, tear, and crack resistance, the test results were nothing less than spectacular, causing more than a few jaws to drop. With the results in hand, it was clear Vylar™ Engineered Leather was the only choice for Hayabusa.
The tokushu gloves contain a specialized carbonized bamboo lining called Ecta™. This innovative lining is created with activated carbon molecules. With the exclusive Ecta™, you get impressive thermoregulating properties, deodorizing effects, and because of the inherent soft properties of bamboo fabric, extreme comfort.

This holiday season, you might find yourself waiting in line at the store — not to buy stuff but to give it away.
Charities and thrift stores see their heaviest traffic during December, as folks with a few vacation days and new gifts to accommodate take the opportunity to do some housecleaning.
Central Ohio charities that operate thrift stores estimate that donations rise 20 to 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year's.
"The end of the year is our busiest time for donation activity for two reasons," said Tim Salvato, vice president of donated goods and retail operations at Goodwill Columbus.
"We have a lot of folks who clean their houses out before and during Christmas break, making room for the new things and preparing for company; and, post-Christmas, folks tend to donate a lot of things because they want to get a tax break before the end of the year."
New Year's Eve is Goodwill's busiest day of the year for donations — so busy that the charity's 14 central Ohio donation centers double their staffs that day, said Todd Cordetti, who manages the centers.
"Everybody waits until the last minute to get their tax benefit," Cordetti said.
Casey Mischnick swung by Goodwill's Grandview Heights donation center recently to drop off three bags of children's summer clothes.
"I do this at the end of every season as the children grow out of their clothes," the Grandview Heights resident said.
Kim Dorsey recently donated a sofa bed to Volunteers of America.
"It was in great condition, but if you don't need it, why hold onto it?" asked the Reynoldsburg woman, who has contributed to VOA for years.
"I've given away furniture, bedding, clothing, toys and a car a long time ago," she said. "I'm just thankful to be able to help."
Charities welcome the donations, of course, but they advise donors to leave the broken toaster and shredded chair at home.
"Poor people have pride," said Patti Carter, director of operations at the Salvation Army's donation center on S. High Street. "They want nice things. They don't want garbage."
Items that charities often get asked about, but can't use, include baby items such as cribs, car seats or swings, because they are so frequently recalled; and mattresses and box springs.
What do they want?
Clothing and shoes are still their bread and butter.
In addition, officials say old stereo equipment goes quickly, along with nice household furnishings such as lamps and small furniture. Small kitchen appliances, pots and pans and dish sets are also popular.
Charities are especially eager to keep the shelves full to accommodate the growing number of young people who shop thrifts.
"It's cool now to shop at thrifts," said Nicole Knowlton, vice president of development and communications with Volunteers of America Greater Ohio. "It's anyone looking for great deals. Fashions or electronic equipment leave the stores as fast as they come in."
Charities differ slightly in what they will accept.
Salvation Army, for example, is one of the few that will take mattresses and box springs (only those in good condition), and it sanitizes them.
Likewise, charities seek clothing that is clean and undamaged, but Salvation Army and Goodwill accept almost all fabric because they recycle it. Goodwill also recycles old or broken electronics.
When in doubt, contact the charity.

We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
Located in the beautiful Willamette Valley, only 30 minutes from Portland, the Senior Estates in Woodburn is a private retirement community immediately adjacent to Interstate I-5. It is also only a short drive to the clear mountain streams of the Cascade Mountains or to the sparkling beaches of the Pacific Ocean. From the time the first home was completed in 1961, it has grown into a community of 1511 privately owned homes surrounding a private 18-hole golf course and a one million dollar clubhouse complex. This narrow course has a defined cut of rough and trees bordering all its fairways. There are only a dozen sand bunkers on the course, and no water hazards, so all the trouble comes from the narrow fairways. The small greens have medium speed and some undulation that includes a few severe breaks. The course was built on flat terrain, but the scenery is beautiful.

Angel Mission gets helping hand to move to bigger store
CALUMET – The New Beginnings Angel Mission Free Store needed some space to store its 1,200 VHS tapes in its new location on Fifth Street in Calumet, so Co-Director Terry Bazin turned to the Kiwanis Club of the Copper Country for help.
Bazin said when a member of the club learned of the store's need for shelves, she didn't even have to ask for help.
"It was just offered to us," Bazin said.
Now in its sixth location in Calumet, the Angel Mission Free Store was started by the late Becky Koivu in her basement, Bazin said. Each time it moved, it was into a larger location. After being in the former Copper Country Associated Artists location on Fifth Street for about a year, at the beginning of January it was moved across the street to a larger space formerly occupied by Dawn's Creations, which Bazin said has three times as much available space.
Members of the Houghton County Sheriff's Office work release program helped with the move of the store, which took about six hours, Bazin said.
"They've been wonderful," Bazin said of the work release helpers.
The purpose of the Angel Mission is to offer free of charge clothing and household items to people who are in financial difficulties. The organization also has a food pantry in the store.
Bazin said she wasn't looking for anything special to store the VHS tapes, which are part of a lending library.
"We just wanted some shelves on the walls," she said.
The group who installed the shelves for the tapes is called the Nail Benders, according to Kiwanis Club member Richard Brooks.
"We're a sub-group of the Kiwanis Club," he said.
Nail Benders started about 25 years ago to build wheelchair ramps for houses.
"That's pretty much all we do," he said.
The group built 15 ramps in 2012, Brooks said.
The Nail Benders installed 70 to 80 linear feet of shelving for the VHS tapes in Angel Mission in about two hours, Brooks said.

The options to treat sick cats and dogs are expanding as technology advances, but the decision of which option to choose for a pet is becoming more difficult for many pet owners, The New York Times reports.
John Grogan, author of Marley & Me, wrote in an opinion piece that many owners choose advanced veterinary treatments because it may be difficult to face the emotional challenge of making the decision between life and death for their pet. It is not surprising that owners go to great lengths to save their pet's life as pets are increasingly viewed as vital members of the family. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that the loss of a pet can cause emotions that may confuse many owners, because their grief is similar to the difficult feelings that occur when they lose a human loved one.
While many dogs can be healed and go on to live healthy, happy lives thanks to technologically advanced treatments offered by animal hospitals, owners must be sure to consider all options. An open and honest discussion with your family veterinarian can be helpful to weigh all treatment options and make the best decision for your dog and your family.

RI Seminars 2009 - Present
Expanding our work in understanding the relationships maintained in teams of humans and robots, this talk describes previous and ongoing research for ONR on deception and its application within robotic systems. Earlier we explored the use of psychological interdependence theory as the basis for producing deceit in robotic systems in order to evade capture. More recent work involves studying squirrel hoarding and bird mobbing behavior as it applies to deception, in the first case for misleading a predator, and in the second for feigning strength when none exists. Results are presented from these biological models in both simulation and robotic systems, as well as consideration of the ethical implications of this research.

It is my religious community that helps me sustain a
It is my religious community that helps me sustain a strong spiritual base. It is not so much the creeds or specific beliefs of the community that help but rather being able to travel with fellow strugglers on this journey called life that calls me to newness of life and service to God and humanity. Is not conversation about the differences between religion and spirituality the creation of community that begins to organize around a set of principles in the speakers heart and mind?

This "spiritual but not necessarily religious" space
This "spiritual but not necessarily religious" space seems to be filling up with more and more people desirious of a real connection with whatever is ultimately real. Its hard to put your fingers around all the unique characteristics of this emerging demographic, but I can relate to the frustration that many have with their religious traditions that have obfuscated the truth.
People, for varying reasons seem to be trying, in their own ways, to seperate, and distiguish the institutional fluff, one mired in a motivation for self preservation, from the organic message.
For me, as of late, Dietrich Bonhoeffer articulation of a religion-less Christianity, seems to speak to this(My knowledge on Bonhoeffer is still just growing, but he seemed to predict a time when a "new language" would emerge).
Here's a Youtube clip of a scene in "Agent of Grace" concerning "Religionless Christianity" ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
It's all very interesting to me, and I really look forward to what you(SOF) will bring to this new show. I'm all ears!!!!!!

I had completely forgotten about Bonhoeffer's words,
I had completely forgotten about Bonhoeffer's words, which I will now revisit as we think of ways to frame this dialogue and the show. You also reminded me that I haven't listened to our show on Bonhoeffer in quite some time (http://speakingoffaith.org/pro.... If you have the time, I highly recommend it.
We're beginning to receive a healthy amount of personal stories that we're evaluating for the radio/podcast. And some of the real, interactive discussion is taking place on our Facebook fan page. Cheers.

Lately, I have been wanting to take G!D out of religion.
Lately, I have been wanting to take G!D out of religion. G!D does not fit there any more as religion is about structure and order and lines and doing it right and buts and G!D is about process, relationships, spirit, love, connection, circles.

The beauty of those on the path of "spiritual but not
The beauty of those on the path of "spiritual but not religious" is that their sense of community is much broader than the putative parochial notions many of us hold. What both sets them apart and draws them together is a deep reverence for human belief and a desire to find a common thread of truth. From this perspective, even the atheist can be engaged with respect and openness in the pursuit of meaning.

Thank God for Anne Lammot. Such a powerful message of surrender and freedom from the non- sentimentality, syrupy stuff usually associated with American religion. She's so real and an inspiration to follow Jesus' core teachings - messages of love, look to the disenfranchised.

She always wanted to see me curl on TV, which was a big thing. I changed my broom up this game to use the one she bought me for Christmas. She was like, 'Sweep it to the pin for me.' I found a little bit more motivation from that."

Gown: Ireland
Date of wedding: October 23, 2011
Photographer: Clayhill Photography
Hot tip: Ireland is a statement all on its own, you don't need to over-accessorize. I found beautiful vintage themed earrings & hair-clip from Fletcher & Grace. The skirt is very full and doesn't need a hoop or extra petticoats to add volume. The fullness of the skirt means that you need a bridal car with lots of room! Getting in & out of the car on the day was a bit of a challenge! Ask your photographer to make a point of getting incredible shots of the back of the dress – it is absolutely stunning.
What they loved: The vintage glamour! The unique design, the soft gorgeous colour and the rustly taffeta all tied in perfectly to our whimsical French romance themed wedding.
Husband: Mathew

The world's fourth largest supplier of personal computers – Lenovo Group – said that it would expect further consolidation of the PC industry going forward and reiterated its interest in acquiring other PC suppliers despite of ongoing economic downturn.
"There is no doubt in this economic situation that you will see consolidation of the PC industry," said William Amelio president and chief executive officer at a news conference, reports Reuters news-agency.
According to Mr. Amelio, Nintendo's business was significantly hit by the economic slump as the company suffered from the declines in spending by business and enterprises as well as because emerging markets, particularly China, started to lose their growth pace.
"In the course of the last several quarters, we saw first India slow down as a nation, then PC shipments as well, and Russia. Now China has slowed down significantly, and that has a big impact on our growth rate overall," said Mr. Amelio.
Chief exec of Lenovo also pointed out that the company was considering reduction of its workforce as well as other ways to cut its expenses. Nevertheless, Mr. Amelio said Lenovo would remain open to possible acquisitions to help drive growth.
This is not the first time when Lenovo openly admits plans to acquire other PC makers. Unfortunately for the company, its only big acquisition in the recent years was IBM's PC business. The company did not manage to take over Gateway in the U.S. or Packard Bell in Europe and lost its No. 3 spot on the PC market to Acer Group, which commanded 12.6% of computer shipments in Q3 2008, according to Gartner market tracking company, just a percent point behind Dell (13.6%). Furthermore, Lenovo did not, at least openly, fight for Fujitsu-Siemens, when the joint-venture was about to break up in the recent months.
Perhaps, Lenovo is waiting for smaller suppliers of personal computers to suffer hard from economy crisis and then make bids, but since the company itself recently post 78% decline in quarterly profits amid year-over-year shipments increase of 8.1% and market share decline by 0.5%, it remains to be seen whether Lenovo itself will be ready to acquire.
Data includes desk-based PCs, mobile PCs and X86 servers. Acer data includes Gateway's consumer shipments and Packard Bell shipments. Source: Gartner.

How much Elixir drink does one tablet make?
One tablet self-mixes with 24 oz (.7L) of water. Use 4 tablets for a 100 ounce reservoir, 3 tablets for a 70 ounce reservoir, and 2 tablets for a 50 ounce reservoir.
Can I use Elixir in my CamelBak bottle?
Yes, the sugar-free formula rinses easily from bottles, too. We recommend using one tablet in a 25 oz (.75L) bottle, or half a tablet in a 16 oz (.5L) bottle. Because the tablet effervesces to mix with water, it is best to let the tablet finish mixing before placing the lid on your bottle. Elixir should not be stored in a bottle overnight as the effervescent material can remain active and cause the bottle to leak.
Does Elixir contain caffeine?
The Orange with Caffeine Elixir does contain caffeine and other ingredients to boost energy. Lemon-Lime and Berry Elixir do not contain caffeine or any other energy boosting ingredients.
Does Elixir contain sweeteners?
Elixir contains the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame potassium. These sugar alternatives are recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug administration (FDA). These ingredients help deliver the benefits of a sugar-free product, including containing very few calories (only 10 calories per serving) and are easy to clean since there is no sticky sugar residue left behind. Our products do not contain the sweetener aspartame, commonly known as NutraSweet®.

I'm a big fan of this ...
By Mainman
from Undisclosed
Comments about CamelBak Elixir Orange with Caffeine:
I'm a big fan of this stuff. I don't like the sugary taste of gatorade, so this is a nice alternative. I think Camelbak's 'recommended' dose is too high, and adds too much artificial-tasting flavor, so I cut it to half or less. This dilutes the flavor (which is fine since I happen to like the taste of water). I have noticed a definite difference between hiking/running long distances with Elixir, as opposed to without. If you ration it right, it can be very cost-effective, and keep you energized.

This stuff was pretty ...
By Travis
This stuff was pretty good, really just tastes like any other orange drink but I thought the caffeine was a nice touch. If you get these make sure to put the right number of tablets in your CamelBak. I didn't put enough in the first time and it was terrible. Overall I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. I just wish that more came in a bottle.

a tea shop in my neighborhood has loose leaf tea which is packaged in little bags which are paper on the outside with plastic lining on the inside. The bags have a window of transparent plastic so you can see the tea inside the bag.
I was wondering if this might cause the tea to deteriorate more quickly; because the tea is sitting on the shelves in the shop all day and is therefore exposed to some light. I had noticed some of their teas tasted off, maybe this is why??

Waiting For Superman With The Iron Giant
I believe that one of the greatest things about film is the sense of ownership that we the audience feel for the movies we love. In that sense there is no greater moment than the time you share a favorite movie with someone who has never seen it. I'm excited to do that with The Iron Giant.
When people ask me to recommend a movie to them The Iron Giant is on top of my list. Usually they think I'm recommending a documentary on America's steel industry and they roll their eyes. When I explain that it's an animated film that takes place in the 1950′s and explores the friendship between a boy and a giant robot from outer-space they roll their eyes again and try change the subject. By then, I'm already onto my spiel on why everyone should see this forgotten classic from the bygone year that was 1999.
The Iron Giant was one of those great masterpieces of a movie that failed utterly at the box office. Whether it was a lack of marketing or interest I'm not sure but the important thing now is that The Dryden Theatre is giving everyone a second chance to see it on the big-screen.
Directed by Brad Bird (A well-known director from The Simpsons, Pixar's The Incredibles, and the upcoming Mission Impossible sequel) The Iron giant tells a heart-warming tale of a lonely boy named Hogarth who discovers a literal iron giant in the forest of his hometown. They soon become friends where Hogarth shares with the giant his entire world, which for a ten-year old consists mostly of Superman comics and a life of play and fun. Of course this friendship is tested when a dastardly FBI agent, with a full-on case of cold-war paranoia, tries to destroy the Iron Giant.
I'm not one to implore and beg but I'm going to anyway. I both implore and beg you to come out this Sunday – bring your kids if you've got 'em – and experience this great classic on the big-screen.
See you at the Dryden!

Palm division of Hewlett-Packard plans to release the first smartphones based on webOS 2.0 operating system in early 2011. This will revive interest towards Palm cell phones and will also demonstrate whether and how HP influenced the development of the next-generation webOS platform.
"You will see us coming early next year with new phones," said Eric Cador, a senior vice president at HP, at a press conference, reports Reuters news-agency.
When originally announcing the completion of the Palm take over HP said that it planned to release smartphones, slate PCs and netbooks featuring webOS. Later on the company downplayed the importance of smartphones and indicated interest in putting webOS onto a variety of connected devices, including printers. Nonetheless, it looks like smartphones and a slate-type personal computer will be the first devices to feature the new webOS platform early in 2011.
After taking over Palm earlier this year, HP did not release a single new smartphone and naturally low market share to Google Android platform despite of the fact that Palm Pre and Palm Pixi generally received farly positive reviews.
Last week Palm said that it had dropped all plans to release smartphones based on Google Android and other competing platforms, which leads to believe that HP will concentrate heavily on development of webOS to make it more competitive against rivals Apple iPhone, Google Android, Microsoft Windows Phone, Samsung Bada, Nokia's Symbian, Nokia/Intel MeeGo and so on.

Working to promote gender equality and women's empowerment around the world can be a challenge. There are difficult days when you wonder if your efforts are having a real impact on the lives of women and girls facing violence, deprivation, discrimination and disempowerment on a daily basis. But when you have the opportunity to meet individuals fighting to create a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities, it makes it all worthwhile.
Yesterday was one of those days.
Yesterday, USAID was proud to host the International Women of Courage awardees. These remarkable women put themselves at risk every day to make a difference not only for themselves but for women and girls everywhere.
In Nigeria, Dr. Josephine Odumakin has spent the past 20 years handling over 2,000 cases of violations of women's rights, including cases of extrajudicial practices committed by government security agencies against women.
Fartuun Adan is a true human rights activist in Somalia. She champions women's rights, peace-building, and the rehabilitation of child soldiers. In 2010-2011, Ms. Adan initiated a program to support survivors of gender-based violence in Somalia's internally displaced persons camps and launched the first sexual violence hotline and rape crisis center in Mogadishu.
In Russia, Yelena Milashena is an investigative reporter for one of the few remaining independent Russian newspapers. She has distinguished herself for her cutting-edge, hard-hitting journalism covering the terrorist seizure of a school in Beslan, the seizure of the Dubrovka theater in Moscow, human rights abuses in the North Caucasus, and corruption in the Russian Federal Narcotics Control Agency. Most recently, Ms. Milashina has reported on the vote-rigging and abuses by government officials during the December 2011 elections.
Malalai Bahaduri is an Afghan National Interdiction Unit instructor committed to the professional development of the Counter Narcotics Police -- Afghanistan (CNP-A). As the first female member of the NIU, First Sergeant Bahaduri reminds us that Afghan women can lead in very high level technical positions. Through her integral role as an instructor at NIU, she focuses on efforts to target the most significant drug trafficking networks, collect evidence, and arrest and prosecute Afghan drug traffickers in accordance with Afghan law.
Julieta Castellanos is an advocate who has played a central role in efforts to overcome enormous challenges afflicting Honduras, including rule of law, anticorruption, and promoting citizen security. She was instrumental in forming an umbrella organization for more than 400 organizations that has given civil society a more powerful voice and an unprecedented ability to engage with the government. Ms. Castellanos has also pressed relentlessly for systemic reform of the country's dysfunctional police and justice sector institutions.
For their efforts, these courageous women have endured threats, detainment, and violence. Some of them have been shunned by their families and communities, or lost livelihoods and loved ones. Still, they press on. It is for these women and the millions like them that we work every day to expand opportunities and improve the lives of women and girls around the world.
USAID will train over 3,300 women in Haiti to manage natural resources and better invest in crops that can generate income and stabilize hillsides as part of our Feed the Future initiative. It's why I'm proud that over 140,000 women in Pakistan are increasing their income by 30-40 percent as part of our Entrepreneurs, Firms, and Baluchistan Agriculture projects.
In Afghanistan, our Women In Transition (WIT) program provides educated young women with enhanced technical and leadership skills to facilitate entry and advancement into mid- and high-level positions in government, the private sector and civil society over the next five years. We're also launching a public-private partnership with Chevron South Africa and Anglo-American to support a gender-based microfinance program called Intervention with Microfinance for AIDS and Gender Equity (IMAGE). The program combines microfinance with a gender and HIV training curriculum to improve women's financial independence, reduce vulnerability to HIV and gender-based violence, and foster wider community mobilization.
In Bangladesh, we're launching a pilot project to test multi sector approaches to child marriage prevention with a focus will be community sensitization, involving local religious authorities, media, local NGO and civil authorities. We're also expanding our efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo to raise community awareness about gender-based violence (GBV) and support survivors, granting them increased access to medical and psycho-social care, legal assistance, and income generating activities.
These brave individuals, dedicated partners, and determined civil society organizations are delivering real results for women around the world. We are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them.

@ Ambassador Steinberg -- Keep up the good work and do not be discouraged. I have seen great progress in the area of women's rights just in my life time. I remember very well interviewing for my first job and the man interviewing me asking me to stand up and turn a full circle so he could see how I looked. I was twenty-one and remember how humiliated I felt. I was a college graduate and was interviewing for a teaching job! I was so angry but said nothing. I vowed to make a difference for myself and the other women teachers. I got the job and within two years, at the risk of losing my job, I went to my union representative and reported him. I was proud of myself! Things have changed but I know for women around the world that it is not just going to your union representative. We must continue to address the horrific treatment of women around the world. Please keep up the "good fight". And to all those incredibly brave women who risk everything, you are the true heroes of this "fight".

Thank you, Donald, for information on the International Women of Congress awardees. Much like USAID, The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) recognizes the critical role women play in building stable societies and achieving economic growth. Much of the agency's work in microfinance and small and medium-sized enterprise lending have supported female entrepreneurs and women-owned small businesses, empowering them with economic freedom. I thought this blog post on the ways OPIC supports women may interest you. opic.gov/blog/expanding-horizons/international-womens-day-six-ways-opic-supports-women-around-the-world

CHARLOTTETOWN, Prince Edward Island - The U.S. National Sled Hockey Team dropped a 3-2 decision to Norway Thursday night in its third game at the 2008 World Sledge Hockey Challenge at the CARI Complex.
"We came out flat, but we learned from it as the game went on and played what I think was our best period of hockey since I have been involved with the team," said Ray Maluta, head coach for Team USA. "It was an awesome third period, and for the young team we have, it was a very impressive comeback."
Norway got on the board first with a shorthanded goal at 9:57 of the opening period and finished the opening stanza with a 2-0 advantage.
Norway scored the only goal of the second period, a power play marker with less than a minute to play and held a 3-0 after 30 minutes of play.
Bubba Torres (Riverside, N.J.) put the U.S. on the board with a goal off a rebound at 8:24 of the third stanza. Just 1:28 later, Jim Connelly (Galloway, N.J.) got Team USA to within a goal with a wrist shot into the top corner of the Norwegian net. The U.S. outshot Norway 11-1 in the period.
The U.S. National Sled Hockey Team returns to action Saturday (Nov. 22), when it faces Japan at 11 a.m. EST in the third-place game of the 2008 World Sledge Hockey Challenge.
NOTES: Steve Cash (Overland, Mo.) earned U.S. Player of the Game honors ... Team USA outshot Norway, 19-14 ... Teams participating in the 2008 World Sledge Hockey Challenge include Canada, Japan, Norway and the United States ... The 17 players on the U.S. roster represent nine different states ... Maluta is assisted by Bill Corbo, Jr. ... More information on the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team can be found here.

When famed French designer Christian Liaigre wants to kick back with his family, he heads to the island of St. Barts, where he has taken the idea of a simple beach shack to new heights of sophistication
The 2014 Color Of The Year: How To Decorate With The Newest It Color
When famed French designer Christian Liaigre wants to kick back with his family, he heads to the island of St. Barts, where he has taken the idea of a simple beach shack to new heights of sophisticationMore
Every winter, they arrive by private seaplane or superyacht—boldface names, moguls, and models descending en masse on a tropical oasis that is one part Hamptons, one part Saint-Tropez. The Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy—or St. Barts, as this French territory is known among the jet set—has evolved into the ultimate holiday sandbox for the world's rich and famous. But 30 years ago, when the Parisian interior and furniture designer Christian Liaigre began vacationing here, life in paradise was a lot more subdued. "At the time, most of the homes on the island were simple wood cabins and cottages," he says. "Today, the local carpenters are busy working on houses that are very grand, like the type you might find in Miami."
Designer Christian Liaigre with his son, Léonard, at his family's home on St. Barts in the Caribbean.
Certainly Liaigre, whose pared-down approach to luxury has earned him an elite global clientele, has played a role in the island's development. He designed the soigné beachfront hotel Le Sereno, along with vacation compounds for such A-list clients as art dealer Larry Gagosian and Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich. But 10 years ago, when Liaigre decided to build his own house on St. Barts, his goal was to re-create the simplicity that drew him to the island in the first place. "I wanted a house that was basic and surrounded by nature," he explains. "Essentially, what I set out to build was a fisherman's hut."
In the living area, the pine sofa, chairs, leather-covered ottoman, and sisal rug are all by Christian Liaigre, and the antique wood stool is Chinese; the cupboards are custom made, and the beams were stained black.

Also grabbed an IR gun today to check temps.
This goes against my normal advice not to season steel, but, since Marc has been successful getting some color on his plate, and since the baking temperatures for AL are going to be a bit lower than steel, and thus less likely to bake the coating off, I would suggest seasoning the plate with a very light coating of oil. Keep in mind that the goal isn't a non stick surface or corrosion protection like normal seasoning, but, rather, a little bit of color so that the IR thermometer can take readings.
What would be the possible problems with seasoning the plate, and if you are going to season a little, why not go all the way and get it black?
Thanks!Attached are pictures of the seasoned plate, the inaugural pizza and the upskirt shot. Looks like the cheese needed some additional time but I'm not sure the crust would have been happy with 30 more seconds.
Thanks, Craig. The cheese was bubbling pretty intensely when I pulled the pizza out but I was hoping for that mottled look I like so much. This is Restaurant Depot whole milk mozzarella, pre-shredded that has burned on me in the past with longer bakes.

Hollywood's Classic Interiors
Royalty abounds in the Tudors' living room (located on the first floor) where Laura Kirar uses modern touches to put a spin on the traditional style of King Henry VIII. Costumes of characters inspired the palette with royal red the unifying accent on upholstery, pillows and silk drapery that draws the eye around the room. Graphic patterns add punch via overscaled floral sofa fabric and an enlarged Tudor lace pattern, typically reserved for ceilings, used on walls instead. Ornately carved English antiques placed alongside clean-lined furnishings provide a visual counterbalance. "This room feels very princely," notes Kirar.
Amy Lau has captured, tongue-in-cheek, the essence of Dexter, the Miami P.D. blood-splatter expert by day/vigilante serial killer by night. Naturally, the room flows red, illustrating the impact of a single hue added to a neutral setting. Patterns range from blood drops and human vein honeycombs to 3D string art , artfully strung from ceilings to walls, simulating Dexter's crime scene forensic technique. A vinyl-wrapped table and plastic-sheathed floor recall the protective plastic the character obsessively uses to protect against splatters when killing.

Sleep Apnea in Early to Mid-Stage Alzheimer's Disease (AZAP)

- How to Read a Study Record
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is much more common in the elderly than in the young; the latest studies show prevalence between 45% and 62% in individuals over 60. It is even higher in patients with dementia such as Alzheimer patients.
Several trials in elderly patients showed modified cognitive functions, particularly executive and attentional functions, in patients with respiratory sleep disorder. However the benefit of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) ventilation for Alzheimer patients is still controversial, as there are few studies documenting its effects on dementia patients' cognitive abilities, and clinicians appear reluctant to prescribe this type of treatment.
The investigators must keep in mind that Alzheimer patients suffer significant sleep disorders; advanced- stage patients spend 40% of the night awake and are drowsy a large part of the day. In dementia patients, sleep disorder is a major cause of hospitalization and institutionalization. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in this population is estimated at over 50%, and appears to be higher the more advanced the dementia. Trials on obstructive sleep apnea syndromes in Alzheimer patients show significatively improved scores on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), as well as satisfactory treatment tolerance. However, any impact on cognitive abilities has yet to be demonstrated.
In addition, cardiovascular pathologies such as arterial hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and strokes are strongly correlated to OSA. In light of its consequences on morbidity and mortality, OSA should be considered a public health issue.
In this context, the investigators wish to address the impact of CPAP treatment implementation on the cognitive parameters of patients diagnosed with OSA, particularly on their executive functions. This should provide evidence for mid-term assessment of the benefits of CPAP in caring for elderly patients with dementia.
In light of the prevalence of obstructive sleep pathologies in elderly patients reported in various studies and of the potential impact of CPAP treatment on cognitive abilities, the investigators propose a study to evaluate the impact of OSA treatment on elderly Alzheimer patients' cognitive abilities, particularly on their executive functions.
Executive functions are a rather heterogenous group of high-level cognitive processes which enable individuals to adopt a flexible, context-appropriate behavior. They also include planning abilities, working memory, cognitive control, abstract thought, rule learning, selective attention, motor response selection, etc... Executive functions are mainly associated to the functioning of the brain's frontal lobes, although subcortical structures also play a role. When the executive functions are affected by disease, daily life is significantly impeded as the individual becomes unable to perform complex tasks or regulate his/her behavior. Many tests can help evaluate these functions in dementia patients. A number of "ecological" tests, such as the zoo map test from the Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) arsenal, are quite relevant for evaluating executive functions.
This project aims to improve the daily life of Alzheimer patients with sleep apnea by improving their executive cognitive functions through CPAP treatment.
According to the Paquid's trial, there are 12,400 Alzheimer patients in the French Loire department. [27] The study population will therefore be recruited in the "La Charité" center of CHU Saint-Etienne. The target population is older individuals (≥ 65) suffering from cognitive disorders similar to Alzheimer's disease.
OSA will be diagnosed based on polysomnography, on an outpatient basis. Apnea patients will receive CPAP treatment for 4 months, which is the minimum duration required to implement and accept treatment, and to measure its impact on patients' neurocognitive abilities.

- Impact of the CPAP treatment on cognitive functions [ Time Frame: At 4 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]BADS zoo map scores : subjects are tested in two experimental settings, formulation and execution. The total execution time is the time taken to perform the task assigned in both conditions; the error score measures mistakes made during the test.

Lady Gaga Will Be Playing in Hell -- Wanna Go?
And I said, 'Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go.'
-- Robert Johnson, "Me and the Devil Blues"
From Paganini to Robert Johnson to Dr. Dre, the Devil keeps popping up in popular mythology, hovering around some of the most successful musicians ever, eating up their souls like candy. He can't keep his hands off them.
Nicolo Paganini (1782-1840) was the best violinist of his time, possibly of any time. Schubert, Berlioz, Liszt -- the greatest musicians of the day -- idolized him. His playing forever changed violin music and our expectations of virtuosity. Some people actually believed he was the Devil incarnate.
But the more popular story, and the one that has been handed down over the generations since his death, is that Paganini's mother made a deal with the Devil when the boy was all of six years old -- the Devil gets the boy's soul for eternity, Mrs. Paganini gets to see her son become the greatest violinist who ever lived.
By his last international tour, Paganini was the leading celebrity of the day and making more money than any performer before him.
Robert Johnson, similarly, had a way with the blues guitar that still makes guitarists 75 years after his death drool with envy, somehow simultaneously creating melodies, bass lines and bell-like harmonics on the guitar while moaning soulful blues lyrics -- a one-man orchestra. Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards both regard Johnson as the greatest blues guitarist who ever lived.
Many of his fans believed the story, first told by his fellow blues musicians in the 1930s, that Johnson had met the Devil at midnight at a crossroads (U.S. Highway 61 and U.S. Highway 49 in Clarksdale, Miss., according to one source). The Devil silently took his guitar from him, tuned it and handed it back.
The deal was done. Johnson was instantly the greatest guitarist around and his soul was condemned.
Similar rumors have swirled around Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and other pop musicians. Most recently, an editor here at TheStreet pointed out to me that Dr. Dre -- listed by Forbes as the highest-paid entertainer of 2012 and the subject of my column a few weeks ago -- is said to be in the Devil's pocket. If rumors are to be believed, so is Lady Gaga.
The legend about Dre is fueled by a quote from record producer Dick Griffey regarding a lucrative contract between Dre and Sony
