Fast Break: Celtics-Sixers
|11.25.09 at 10:15 pm ET
Doc Rivers was asked before Wednesday's game if his team should be worried about a letdown against a Sixers team that was without two starters, and whom they had throttled by 29 points in Philly earlier this month. Doc's Response? Um, yeah. Didn't Golden State beat Dallas the other night with just six players, the coach asked.
The Celtics haven't been able to take very much for granted since that first Sixers game and it became obvious very early that Philly had come to play, even after a wrenching loss to the Wizards the night before and even without Lou Williams and Elton Brand.
In the end the Celtics took every punch and landed a few more of their own in a 113-110 victory. The win continued their recent trend of playing down-to-the-wire games against sub-500 teams, but they'll take it. Again.
Player of the Game: Paul Pierce. For everything that is going wrong with the Celtics, Pierce continues to play out of his head. It wasn't just the 27 points, five rebounds and six assists either. With the Celtics clinging to a 107-105 lead, Andre Iguodala came steamrolling down the floor and Pierce stood his ground and took the charge.
Turning point: Rajon Rondo raised a few eyebrows through the first three quarters by continuing to pass up layups in favor of making an extra pass. One time he caught Kevin Garnett underneath the basket on a give-and-go-and-give leaving Garnett no choice but to fling the ball toward the hoop while he was already underneath it.
But in the fourth quarter Rondo finally came alive, taking the ball aggressively to the hoop and looking to score. The Celtics used a small lineup during this stretch and Rondo took advantage of the space available on the floor. Things become so much easier for the Celtics when Rondo has the mindset to finish once he breaks down the defense.
* Once again the Celtics were beaten on the offensive glass. The Sixers had 10 offensive rebounds in the first half, which led to 18 second-chance points.
* Philly is in the bottom third in the league in 3-point shooting at a tick over 32 percent. Naturally the Sixers shot 13-for-20 from 3-point range.
*One area the Celtics did excel in was getting to the free throw line, making 30-of-39. Garnett was 9-for-12.
* Rasheed Wallace didn't exactly "break out" of his shooting slump, but he did make two of six from beyond the arc.
* Kendrick Perkins, Ray Allen and Garnett all spent considerable portions of the fourth quarter on the bench. The Celtics and Sixers were both using small lineups, which left Perk out even though he had 12 points and eight rebounds in 22 minutes. Garnett was spelled by Wallace as part of his regular rotation, while Allen gave way to Marquis Daniels. After 15 games the only thing that's obvious about the rotations and lineups is that Rivers is still looking for the right combinations.
* Great coaching move and execution in the final seconds as the Celtics were able to foul Iguodala, and then Jason Kapono with a three-point lead instead of letting either of them get off a chance at a tying shot. While it's clearly the right strategy, very few teams actually carry through with the play or execute it correctly.

I drove out to his organic farm to see what he was talking about.
He has been fogging his bees.
I picked up off the landing board a whit larvae about 1/4" long. I do not need reading glasses. I asked him if he knew what those 3 round reddish "things" are?
He said that he was not sure. I explained to him that the items on the larvae were mites!
I am giving him a Russian SMR daughter queen to help him out and to increase the desireable drones in the area.

|ACS 2008-1yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Subject Definitions -> Housing Variables -> Value
The data on value (also referred to as "price asked" for vacant units) were obtained from Housing Question 16 in the 2008 American Community Survey. The question was asked at housing units that were owned, being bought, vacant for sale, or sold not occupied at the time of the survey. Value is the respondent's estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, as well as owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes.
Adjusting Value for Inflation
Since value collected before 2008 is the only dollar amount captured on the questionnaire in specified intervals, the category boundaries for previous years are not adjusted for inflation. In the comparison profiles, however, the median value is adjusted for inflation by multiplying a factor equal to the average annual CPI-U-RS factor for the current year, divided by the average annual CPI-U-RS factor for the earlier/earliest year.
Median and Quartile Value
The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Quartiles divide the value distribution into four equal parts. Median and quartile value are computed on the basis of a standard distribution. (See the "Standard Distributions" section under "Derived Measures.") Median and quartile value calculations are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. Upper and lower quartiles can be used to note large value differences among various geographic areas. (For more information on medians and quartiles, see "Derived Measures.")
Aggregate Value
Aggregate value is calculated by adding all of the value estimates for owner occupied housing units in an area. Aggregate value is rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. (For more information on aggregates, see "Derived Measures.")
Limitation of the Data
The Census Bureau tested the changes introduced to the 2008 version of the value question in the 2006 ACS Content Test. The results of this testing show that the changes may introduce an inconsistency in the data produced for this question as observed from the years 2007 to 2008, see "2006 ACS Content Test Evaluation Report Covering Property Value" (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/AdvMeth/content_test/H7_Property_Value.pdf).
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey question provided a space for the respondent to enter a dollar amount. From 1999-2007 the question provided 19 pre-coded response categories from "Less than $10,000" to "$250,000 or more - Specify ." Starting in 2004, value was shown for all owner-occupied housing units, unlike from1996-2003 in which value was shown only for specified owner-occupied housing units. Changes introduced in 2008 were removing the pre-coded response categories and adding a write-in box for the respondent to enter the property value amount in dollars, and revising the wording of the question to ask, "About how much do you think this house and lot, apartment, or mobile home (and lot, if owned) would sell for if it were for sale?"

His Way (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Odo consults a holographic lounge singer about his relationship with Kira.
Summary Edit
Odo, Kira, Doctor Bashir, Chief O'Brien, Dax, and Worf are in a holosuite, enjoying the performance of Vic Fontaine, the doctor's latest holoprogram. He is singing You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You and everybody is enjoying themselves. After his performance, he joins the entourage where Bashir introduces him to everyone. Fontaine cracks a few jokes and uses some 20th century jargon that most of the crew don't understand. It turns out that he is a self-aware hologram and a very astute and insightful one on top of that. He is immediately able to tell that Worf and Dax have not been married for a long time and that O'Brien misses his wife. But he stops before saying anything about Kira and Odo, understanding that it is best to not talk about it for the moment. Before they leave, he advises them to dress fancy the next time for the occasion as currently they all look like a "trapeze act".
After the group leaves the holosuite, they continue on about how impressed they are with the program and Fontaine in particular. Bashir suggests meeting up again the next evening to hit the casinos and play a little blackjack and roulette after Vic's performance. While Dax is rather enthused about going back again, Kira says that she is leaving for Bajor in the morning. Dax slips and tells her to say hi to Shakaar Edon for her, before realizing that she might have said too much. Odo becomes somewhat irritated when he hears what Kira is up to. After she leaves, Bashir carries on about Fontaine, telling O'Brien that if it wasn't for his pointers, he would not be dating Ensign Walker now. He says that Fontaine knows quite a lot about life, love and women, the three things – O'Brien jokes – Bashir apparently knows nothing about. Odo, who is standing right there, hears all of this and is suddenly intrigued.
Act OneEdit
The next day, the constable is having a conversation with Quark in his office. Quark tells him that it's been over a year since Kira broke up with Shakaar and that in all this time, Odo has done nothing about it. Odo says that it is not that simple, but for Quark it is quite simple: Odo had plenty of opportunities and he let them slip away. When Odo dismisses Quark's advice, Quark tells him that Odo is in fact not a very lovable person, as he is cold, rigid and remote. Before he leaves, however, Odo comes around and asks him for a favor: access to Dr. Bashir's new holosuite program.
The constable returns to the holosuite to talk to Vic about his situation with Major Kira. Vic states his accurate assessment that Odo loves Kira but she considers him a friend. Vic adds that women have been known to change their minds and that it is really not that hard to get through to them, especially if they already like you. Odo says that Kira is aware of his feelings for her but that she prefers another man with great charisma. Vic replies that it is not the other man he has to worry about but himself. He asks him to lose his frozen-solid appearance and to allow those feelings he has inside of him to bubble to the surface. He tells him that if he wants to win the girl, they have to thaw him up a little bit and that it was time they had some fun – a concept which is quite unknown to Odo and which Vic points out is precisely the problem. So a long learning process begins for Odo. He immediately changes into a tuxedo and Vic puts him behind a piano and together they perform a song that exhilarates Odo. Vic's goal is to have the Constable become less shy and more socially at ease every day so that in the end he can win over his heart's desire.
Act TwoEdit
After the show, Odo and Vic are in Vic's apartment, discussing Odo's experience on stage. Odo is visibly relaxed, until he admits to Vic that he is grateful that his friends did not witness the act. Vic advises Odo to take deep breaths to relax. Odo is skeptical, but tries it. He is just beginning to enjoy this when there is a knock on the door. Vic has invited two women to his apartment to interact with Odo. One of the women admires Odo's "artistic hands" and speaks with him about music, having seen the piano act at the club. Odo is uncomfortable with the attention, especially when the woman starts hitting on him. Vic sees his discomfort, and invites the women and Odo to a restaurant. Odo declines the invitation, being more interested in Major Kira than the holosuite woman, but Vic convinces him that he needs to practice with other women in order to pursue Major Kira.
Act ThreeEdit
Captain Sisko is even surprised when he first hears his chief of security humming a song in his office, a change he is happy to see. Sisko joins along in singing with Odo and snaps his fingers to the tune.
When Kira decides to lengthen her stay on Bajor with Shakaar, Dax and Bashir grow curious about the state of her relationship with the First Minister. Later, while traveling to Ops together in a turbolift, Dax tells Bashir that she sees through the nature of the relationship between the constable and the major, a fact that Bashir seems to ignore.
During another lesson in the holosuite, Odo has a little confrontation with Vic about an holographic copy of Kira (Lola Chrystal), saying that he will never be able act normally, knowing she is not the real Kira. Vic promises Odo that he will work on the hologram's personality. Later, without Odo's knowledge, Vic invites the real Kira to a date in the holosuite on the constable's behalf.
During following dinner, Odo is really at ease with the major, daring to show her his real personality, without knowing to whom he is really talking. In the end, it's apparent that the major has genuine feelings for Odo, but the evening is spoiled when the truth is uncovered, ending with Odo storming out of the holosuite, part because he was lied to and part because he couldn't explain himself to Kira.
On the next day, Kira is talking with Dax and, after some thought (about moments of true clarity), decides to go talk to Odo about the dinner. She has to deal with Odo, more distant and cold than ever, but eventually the major is able to reach to him. Odo asks if Kira would expect him to kiss her after a date, and Kira replies that perhaps she would. Odo then wonders aloud why they don't dispense with the pleasantries and kiss right there, to which Kira doesn't object. Suddenly, Odo grabs her and they have a first kiss right on the Promenade, to the surprise of numerous onlookers, including Dax, Quark, and Morn. Following this incident, Odo goes back in the holosuite to thank Vic about all the things he has done, even if some looked like mistakes at first.

Background informationEdit
Story and scriptEdit
- The main reason this show was made was to finally get Odo and Kira together as a couple. That Odo had feelings for Kira had first been hinted at in the second season episode "The Collaborator". This was confirmed in the third season episode "Fascination" when Lwaxana Troi realizes it. Odo himself admitted to it four episodes later, in "Heart of Stone", albeit to the Female Changeling, who he thought was Kira. However, in the fourth season episode "Crossfire", Odo comes to accept that Kira is in love with Shakaar and so he decides to bury his feelings for her. The fifth season episode "A Simple Investigation" seemed to confirm that Odo had indeed gotten over Kira, but a few episodes later, in "Children of Time", Kira herself discovers his feelings for her, and it is revealed that he is still madly in love with her. Then, in "Call to Arms", Odo decides not to pursue her or ask her out until the current crisis was over. However, his love for her remained unabated, and it was the strength of his feelings for her that prevented him from siding with the Dominion in the episode "Sacrifice of Angels". It is at this stage in the arc where "His Way" takes place.
- In terms of the writing of this episode, Ira Steven Behr explains, ""Children of Time" basically gave us the impetus to do. We'd pulled on that thread for so long without really doing anything with it, and we were running out of time. I already knew that at the end of the series Odo would be going back to the Founders to become goo. And even though I didn't know the title "What You Leave Behind" yet, I knew that Odo had to leave something behind of real value. And it just seemed to me that Kira was that value." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The title of this episode is a reference to the Frank Sinatra hit song "My Way."
- This episode marks the first appearance of James Darren as Vic Fontaine on the series. Ira Steven Behr had been planning a character like this for several years; a Rat Pack type guy who would dispense advice on love and life to the crew of Deep Space 9. He originally tried to introduce the character during the fourth season, where he would be played by Frank Sinatra, Jr. Behr and Robert Hewitt Wolfe wrote a sample scene and casting director Ron Surma brought it to Sinatra, but he was only interested in playing an alien – he didn't want to play a human, and he certainly didn't want to play a character partly based on his own father. During the fifth season then, Behr and René Echevarria decided to introduce the character in the episode "A Simple Investigation". This time, a proper scene was written, and the character was given the name Vic Fontaine. Behr wanted Steve Lawrence to play the role, but when the first draft of the script ran long, and Lawrence proved unavailable, the scene was dropped altogether. Over the course of the following year, the role was offered to Robert Goulet, Tom Jones and Jerry Vale, all of whom turned it down. Then, Behr and his close friend Frederick Rappaport ran into James Darren at a memorabilia sale in Beverly Hills. Neither of them knew him, but Rappaport went up to him and starting chatting like they were old friends. According to Behr, "I see this guy is handling Fred so well, and is so smooth, and so friendly, and so likable, and looks so good." As such, Behr decided to offer Darren the role. The next day, Surma sent the script of "His Way" to Darren, and Darren agreed to come in for a talk, although he emphasized he wasn't going to audition or do a reading, he was just coming in for a conversation. When he came in, he began to discuss how he owns a pair of Dean Martin's shoes, and, as Behr explains, "Suddenly, he starts talking about him and Frank and Dean and gambling and making all this money, and suddenly, we realize that he's doing the part. It catches us totally by surprise. We're sitting there with the script pages and don't even realize it. He had gone right from being Jimmy to being Vic – without a beat." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Neither Nana Visitor nor Rene Auberjonois wanted Kira and Odo to become romantically involved, with both of them feeling that the characters should remain just close friends. According to Visitor, "I'm not much of a fan of Odo and Kira being together, but they found a way to make it all make sense. I've always felt I have to open my mouth and pick my fights. And even though I know there's a certain amount of fights I'm going to lose, I always do it anyway. That was one I lost." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Although the first take of the kiss between Odo and Kira was the one seen in the finished episode, the experience of acting in the scene was not particularly enjoyable. As Auberjonois explains, "We started the scene and when we got to the mark, boom, we kissed each other. When they yelled cut, we stopped. I looked at Nana, and her face was sort of orange, and weird, and Dean Jones, my makeup artist, looked at me and went, 'Oh God.' We had been so anxious about it we just sort of went 'Khuh,' and kissed, and my makeup got all over her face and I tore my mask! Now when people ask, 'Well, what was it like to kiss Nana?' I say, 'The definition of safe-sex is this latex mask. It was the most unsensual kiss I'd ever had. I didn't feel anything'." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Nana Visitor herself chose the song "Fever" because of her mother's friendship with Doris Duke, a socialite and patron of the arts, and one of the richest women in the world. When Visitor was a child, she and her mother would visit Duke's mansion in New Jersey, and Duke would play piano and sing for them. On one particular visit, Duke sang "Fever", and the way she sang the song had a huge impact on Visitor, who was nine at the time. As Visitor explains, "She did "Fever" with this very breathy quality to her voice, and I remember thinking, 'Oh, that's a real sophisticated woman.' That was a personal connection for me. It was a memory from when I was a little girl of what I thought a woman should be like – and I got to be that woman." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The large mural behind the bar was designed by Andrew Reeder and Anthony Fredrickson. They based the images of the musicians and champagne glasses on fifties-style cocktail napkins, and Fredrickson designed the shapes, which he describes as looking "like livers." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Of the music for this episode, Jay Chattaway explains, "We were still picking tunes on the way to the recording studio because so many of them were cleared at the last minute, I couldn't really do full arrangements of them in advance, so I only wrote generic intros and endings. I didn't know what the rhythm was going to be, or the key, but when the tune did get cleared, I'd just say, 'Okay, we're going to use intro number two,' and I would quickly rearrange it for the tune in the studio. If I would have written the music out too much, maybe it wouldn't have had the magic of a lounge band. Our musicians were improvising as if they really were combo players." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- This episode is a personal favorite of Ira Steven Behr, who is exceptionally proud of it; "To do a nice romantic comedy without a lot of clichés, to be clever, to not over-do it, and to have emotion rather than sentimentality, empathy rather than sentimentality, is incredibly difficult. Especially in a series like Star Trek that isn't geared to that kind of stuff." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- This episode was not entirely well received by some fans, something which bitterly disappointed Behr; "The quality of the show is not apparent to everyone, and that's really, really sad. Because that show is as perfect an episode as we ever did. You would be hard-pressed to find moments that don't work. It does exactly what it's supposed to. As loony as the show might seem, it's a real triumph. I'm not saying it's the only triumph by any means, but it's the one that's most masked, I guess, the one that's toughest for the audience to recognize." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Behr also commented "I don't think the fans of Star Trek realize just how difficult a show like "His Way" or "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang" is. They think that "Far Beyond the Stars", "The Visitor", a very socially conscious show or a show of a very sensitive drama, those are the shows that are the toughest to do. But in a series like this, to do light, successful humor, romance, is incredibly hard on every level. Not just the writing, but just production-wise and everything. I think part of the reason that we love them so much is because we know just what kind of sweat and blood went into them, to make them seem so fluffy, and so light and clever, whenever they are working, those qualities". (Cinefantastique, Vol. 32, No. 162 #4/5, p. 55)
- This show is one of director Allan Kroeker's personal favorites; "I had a marvelous time on "His Way". It probably should be illegal to have that much fun." Ira Steven Behr says of Kroeker's involvement with this episode, "Allan has to take a lot of the responsibility for the success of the show, because he understood it, and he gave it a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful look and feel." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Rene Auberjonois commented "When I got the script for "His Way", I resisted it the first time I read it. I thought, 'oh, this is silly'. I thought that because I was so into the painful aspects of Odo, the tortured hidden love aspect of his relationship with Major Kira, I could feel myself sort of going into the place of 'my character wouldn't do that'. I then did what I always try to do. I took a deep breath and I sat down, then read the script right through again. By the time I read the script for the second time I was convinced that it was the right way to go and I really looked forward to doing it. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had so far on the show". ("The Shape of Things to Come", Star Trek Monthly, issue 43)
- Cinefantastique ranked "His Way" as the ninth best episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 32, No. 4/5, p. 100)
- In discussing the creation of the Lola Chrystal hologram, Vic refers to the events of "Our Man Bashir" ("Do you know how difficult it was to for me get a holographic image of Major Kira? Lucky for you, Julian used her image in one of his spy programs – though it did take me an hour to get rid of the Russian accent." – Vic to Odo). Lola's query of "who's Kira?" is reminiscent of Anastasia Komananov's questions "who is this Nerys Kira?" and "who is Dax?" This line is also a reference to "Meridian" in which Quark has extreme difficulty obtaining Kira's image in order to fulfill Tiron's request for a "personalized" holosuite program.
- When Quark tells Odo that it has been over a year since Kira and Shakaar broke up, he is referring to the fifth season episode "Children of Time".
- Among the group of people who watch Odo and Kira kiss on the Promenade is a Venturi from the Star Trek: Starfleet Academy computer game.
- The scene of Odo and Kira's dinner in the holosuite is something of a twist on the Cyrano de Bergerac-type story.
- The reference to "Shecky" which confuses Odo is most likely referring to Shecky Greene, a comedian who headlined in Vegas for over thirty years. Victor Borge, the other name Odo is unfamiliar with, was a Danish comedian, musician, author and actor, who often performed in Vegas under the moniker "The Great Dane".
- When Vic Fontaine says "I remember that weekend with Frank," there is a slight wink to the audience; actor James Darren was good friends with Frank Sinatra Jr. and he knew both Frank and Nancy Sinatra well.
- This episode aired less than a month before Frank Sinatra's death.
- The following songs are featured in this episode:
- "You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You" (introduction of Vic Fontaine in teaser)
- "Come Fly with Me" (sung by Vic, with Odo "playing" the piano; reprised at end of episode)
- "They Can't Take That Away from Me" (sung by Odo and Sisko in Sisko's office)
- "Fever" (sung by Lola Chrystal)
- "I've Got You Under My Skin" (sung by Vic during Odo and Kira's holosuite date, reprised as incidental music under Odo and Kira's kiss on the Promenade)

Conservatively Speaking

Philly's New Masterpiece
We glimpse the new Barnes Foundation's downtown campus in Philadelphia
Hosting the renowned collections of the late Albert C. and Laura L. Barnes, the new downtown Philadelphia campus of The Barnes Foundation first opened its doors to the public in May. Designed by Tod Williams and Billy Tsien Architects, the museum is situated on a 4.5-acre site on the north side of Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
While the immaculate new facility is stunningly beautiful, this 93,000 square-foot addition to the city's cultural district almost didn't come to fruition after a legal battle erupted over the right to relocate the collections from the foundation's campus in nearby Merion. The permanent gallery, over 12,000 square feet, holds most of the Barnes' estimated $25 billion collection and is designed to replicate the configuration and scale of the original gallery. In addition, the building contains a special exhibition space as well as areas for education, conservation for paintings and relaxation for visitors.

Unvaccinated Children in the Millions Despite Progress in Global Immunizations
It's fair for international public health leaders to take pride in the vastly improved rates of child immunization around the globe over the past three decades. But a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reveals key areas where more effort is needed.
The data, from 2011, show that the majority of unvaccinated children are in India, Nigeria and Indonesia. Those three nations account for more than half of the 22.4 million children who had not received three doses of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine during the first year of life.
The statistics reveal substantial progress in minimizing the number of unvaccinated children since the 1974 founding of the global Expanded Program on Immunization. However, 20 percent of the world's children, clustered in low-income countries, are not fully vaccinated during the first year of life with the four traditional vaccines against polio, tuberculosis, DTP and measles.

Worldwide, vaccination for tuberculosis was 88 percent, while 83 percent of children received their third dose of polio vaccine. DTP vaccination is more problematic and suggests that public health officials in some countries may need to rethink their vaccine delivery systems.
The number of children receiving a third DTP dose in 2011 was similar to the rate in 2009, the authors noted. More than eight million children worldwide got a single DTP dose but dropped out before completing the three-dose series.
Attitudes favoring vaccination are growing stronger in developing countries, but distribution system glitches may be the reason for more unvaccinated children.
"Strategies to improve vaccination coverage might differ for those children who have never been vaccinated, compared with those who have started but not completed the immunization series," said the authors of the report, led by Dr. Samir V. Sodha of the CDC's Center for Global Health.
MORE: UNICEF Report: Vaccines Can Save Millions of Children
"Children not completing a three-dose series of vaccines, such as the series for DTP vaccine, indicates that there is a problem with the services being delivered," Dr. Orin Levine, director of vaccine delivery at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, told Take Part. The Gates Foundation has made global child immunization one of its top priorities. "This poor utilization of immunization services can be a result of a number of reasons, including long wait times, lack of service availability (vaccine stock outs, health workers not present), lack of funds for transport to the clinic, unclear follow-up instructions after initial immunization visit and negative experience by the parent."
Global immunization strategies have focused on four vaccines, but several newer vaccines are being added, an effort that holds great promise for improved child health but one that may further tax immunization systems in developing countries. By the end of last year, 180 countries had added hepatitis B vaccine in into their programs, and 94 of those countries recommended a first dose of hepatitis B within 24 hours of birth to guard against perinatal transmission.
Worldwide, 75 percent of children received all three doses of hepatitis B, including those countries not using the vaccine at all.
Another newer vaccine, Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine, has not reached the levels of worldwide use seen with the hepatitis B shots. Only 3 percent of children got their third shot of of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine.
MORE: HPV Vaccine Benefits Those Who Do and Don't Get the Shots
Rotavirus vaccine has now been introduced in 31 countries—16 percent of those surveyed. Only 9 percent of children worldwide received the complete rotavirus vaccination series last year. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is offered in 39 percent of countries, with 12 percent of children worldwide receiving three doses.
But the greatest effort will remain focused on the three nations with the most unvaccinated children—India, Nigeria and Indonesia. Public health leaders have stepped up their efforts to reach pockets of the world most in need of stronger immunization services. World Health Organization members endorsed a global vaccine action plan in May to improve rates.
"This disproportionate burden presents a significant challenge and each country will require solutions tailored for their unique contexts," Levine says. "There is reason for optimism, however. In India, the country is nearly two years out from the last confirmed case of polio. While the government and partners remain vigilant in preventing a backslide, the reprieve has allowed greater focus on addressing other vaccine-preventable diseases, through efforts to bolster the routine immunization program."

I like Pugh, and yes one team had him rated as an elite OL prospect. We were not that team.
He is not comparable to Lane Johnson as far as potential is concerned. Every other team had had Johnson, Joeckel, and Fischer as the elite 3 and then there are the rest.
If he can pass protect then we got what was advertised. If he can run block as well then we got what I really wanted. I felt we needed a young roadgrader to reinvigorate the running game. Snee has 2-3 years left at the most. Other than him we don't have a legitimate mauler. We need one to be our best.

Not even a pencil eraser from me or my friends because Sleep Train is sponsoring this drive. A company who pulls its advertising (Rush Limbaugh) over comments about a loose woman-Sandra Fluke-should realize not everyone is in the democratic pocket.

Giants fan since the early 80s
The Rams have way too many holes to just give up a 1st round pick and a boat load of cash to go RFA shopping. Their whole offense could arguably be upgraded and it's not going to matter much if they have Cruz when Bradford is just getting pummeled because his Oline stinks. They'll probably pick up Kenny Vaccaro and then a WR with the 2nd selection. They might be in position to look for OT help in FA.
I've read that if Cruz doesn't get play as a RFA then no one will, ever.
Mood: WOOF!
Teams are of course interested in what the Cruz camp wants but I'm sure they will back away from his demands just like the 49ers did with Wallace last year.

I bought this about 6 months ago and have worn it pretty extensively for the summer. It's a very nice and clean scent I bought it as a blind buy and definitely don't regret it. I've received plenty of compliments on this cologne. It has a subtle spice to change things up. This is a great cologne perfect for a high school student or college student attending classes or going out during the day. I feel you could wear this out on a date but me personally I'd find something a little more upscale. Great projection and longevity for a steal only 40$. Great service from FrangranceNet!!

By far the best of the Perry Ellis 360 collection of cologne. For the price you will get a unique fragrance that will bring many compliments from women and men. Its light clean and a bit spicy but just enough to turn heads. I have worn this cologne for many years and its my top pick still.

Cheer up. Spending an afternoon being down in the dumps isn't nearly as bad as you might think. After all, with trash galore, sewers, and waste streams to visit, how could you feel low?
One of Chicago's newest excursions— the "Down in the Dumps" tour, conducted by the Southeast Environmental Task Force (SETF)—takes people to "dumpy" sites in the Chicago area. Participants learn where the city's 10,000 tons of waste per day goes after it's discarded.
The tour, part of a broad-based partnership among organizations and agencies performing environmental work in the Chicago area, was originally scheduled as a one-time event. Given the overwhelming response, however—the first tour attracted 90 people, and many more from across Illinois and parts of Indiana have expressed interest—SETF plans to hold tours every few months.
College-aged students and young adults especially have shown interested in Down in the Dumps. "It's really great to see because we normally have a lot of the elderly residents who take our historical tours, but we never had this type of interest," said Aaron Rosinski, SETF's executive director.
The tour features 14 sites, including closed landfills, the city's last active landfill, and the Water Reclamation District of Chicago. It costs about $350 to run one tour, including staff time and the rental of a school bus.
When people see the tour, "their reactions are in terms of finally seeing the light," said Rosinski. He said they recognize that each citizen has a personal impact on the environment, since waste from flushing the toilet or throwing a trash bag into a Dumpster has to go somewhere. "They really are curious about how these things operate and what specifically is done to minimize pollution and minimize impact on the environment," said Rosinski. "They want to see what happens to the garbage that they are responsible for."
SETF hopes that people will become more conscientious and active about their personal habits in terms of how they minimize consumption of packaging or household hazardous waste products like pesticides. In 2003, 3.8 million tons of solid waste was disposed of in northeastern Illinois. The state's total hazardous waste in 2003 was 1.1 million tons.
Rosinski eventually would like to produce a virtual tour that could be used in classrooms and for educational purposes. "Short term, we just want to accommodate whoever wants to take the tour," he said.

BW017: Scraggy—Hatched to be Wild!
Redirected from BW017
this wiki
Scraggy—Hatched to be Wild! (タマゴからかえったあばれん坊!! The Wild Child that Hatched From The Egg!) is the 17th episode of Pokémon: Black & White.
Episode Plot
With the journey to Castelia City starting, Ash and co. decide to have lunch. As they were eating, Ash's egg he got a while back began to glow, meaning it was about to hatch. After nearly losing the egg, it finally hatched and a new Pokémon was born. Ash checked the Pokédex and it was revealed to be Scraggy. However, Scraggy has rather unique way of greeting people and Pokémon. Later, Scraggy enraged a wild Galvantula and was paralyzed. Can Scraggy be able to recover its pride and get better? And can it at least get along with everyone including Axew?
Episode Plot
As Ash gazes on his second Unova badge, Axew watches the egg. It begins glowing, causing Axew to fall down and warns its mistress about it. Iris tells Ash the egg is about to hatch, so Ash anticipates the hatching. Iris tells Axew he'll become a big brother, making him blush. However, Axew trips over, onto the egg, which rolls out, down the slope. The egg flies in mid air, so Pikachu uses Quick Attack, getting the egg before it bashes onto a rock. Ash thanks Pikachu, while Iris apologizes for the trouble. The egg glows again and hatches into a Scraggy.
Ash and Pikachu greet Scraggy, who leers Pikachu. Scraggy goes to headbutt Pikachu, who dodges. Ash wonders why Scraggy is headbutting, so thinks it wants a battle and asks Pikachu to fight it as a welcome gift. Ash scans Scraggy knows Headbutt and Leer. Iris wonders why only two moves, so Ash and Cilan remind Axew knows Scratch and Dragon Rage, plus Scraggy just hatched. Scraggy leers Pikachu, but does not seem affected. Scraggy headbutts Pikachu, who is not hurt too severely. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, creating a spark, hitting Scraggy and knocking it out. Scraggy stands up, still wanting to battle. Iris thinks Axew's "little brother" is pain. Ash sends his Pokémon to greet Scraggy. Pidove greets Scraggy, who headbutts her, causing Pidove to run away. Oshawott greets Scraggy, who leers him and headbutts him.
Oshawott is angered, as he is pulled by Pikachu and Tepig. Oshawott goes to attack, though Scraggy knocks his shell away. Oshawott takes his shell back and attacks Scraggy, who headbutts back. Oshawott uses Water Gun, though Scraggy protects itself by pulling its skin on. Scraggy meets Tepig and headbutts him, though Scraggy is confused by so much headbutting. Scraggy goes to headbutt Snivy, who dodges, causing it to bash into a rock. It tries once more, but gets pushed by Snivy's Vine Whip. Ash asks Scraggy if it did enough, but Scraggy knocks him out. It turns to Iris and Axew, though Axew hides in Iris' hair. Meanwhile, Pierce contacts Team Rocket and gives them the location of the meeting point. As everyone eats, Ash tells Scraggy to come to dinner, but Scraggy ignores him. Cilan thinks Scraggy is mad it was defeated by Ash's other Pokémon.
Later, Team Rocket enters the building where the meeting is held. During the night, Scraggy eats the food. Ash tries to call it in its Poké Ball, but Scraggy moves away, as Cilan thinks it wants to stay outside. While everyone sleeps, Axew watches Scraggy, who turns around. Axew hides and a moment later, Axew sees Scraggy is gone. He wakes Iris up and reports what happened. The heroes try to find Scraggy, though Axew finds footprints. They soon encounter Scraggy, who headbutts a tree, as well as a Galvantula. Ash and Pikachu run to Scraggy, who is intimidated by Galvantula. Scraggy goes to headbutt Galvantula, who uses Electro Ball, Electroweb and Pin Missile on Scraggy. Galvantula uses Electro Ball, though Pikachu's Thunderbolt causes it to retreat. Scraggy is paralyzed, and while Cilan cannot find the Pokémon Center, Iris goes to find herbs to cure paralysis.
After finding the herbs, Iris makes the medicine and gives it to Scraggy, who is not pleased by the taste. Iris tells it will feel better after a night's sleep, so Scraggy sleeps. Team Rocket, however, go on an helicopter and meet up with Pierce, who introduces Dr. Zager. Team Rocket gives him the meteorite, which Dr. Zager analyzes. The meteorite begins glowing, pleasing Dr. Zager, as he was expecting such reactions. Dr. Zager sees he need further analysis, while Team Rocket and Pierce go to the location of their next mission. Scraggy wakes up and is greeted by the heroes. Cilan reminds Axew what happened yesterday. Ash tells it should thank Iris for curing it, but Scraggy runs off, with Axew following it. Scraggy headbutts the tree, causing multiple Galvantula to appear. Axew sees this and goes to warn the heroes.
Axew warns the heroes, so Ash sends his Pokémon to help Scraggy. Galvantula approaches Scraggy, though Pikachu electrocutes Galvantula. Scraggy sees everyone is here, as Ash orders to protect Scraggy. Galvantula uses Electro Web, which gets countered by Pidove's Air Cutter. Another one uses Electro Ball, though Tepig's Ember counters the move. Oshawott cuts the Electroweb with Razor Shell, though Snivy pulls him back, as Galvantula nearly attacked him. Snivy uses Leaf Storm on Galvantula, with Pikachu electrocuting all Galvantula, who retreat back. Ash thanks his Pokémon, though warns Scraggy not to mess with the tree. Cilan thinks this was about revenge, though Iris is glad Scraggy is fine. Ash tells Scraggy to eat breakfast. Later, Axew joins Scraggy, who moves away, causing both to be mad at each other. Ash and Iris separate them, but Cilan thinks they are good partners for a battle. Ash and Iris see Cilan is right, so have a battle.
Scraggy leers Axew, then headbutts him. Axew scratches Scraggy and continues to do so. Scraggy headbutts Axew, who uses Dragon Rage. Scraggy headbutts Axew, whose Dragon Rage explodes, causing both Pokémon to be defeated. Ash and Iris are still pleased about the battle and promise to Scraggy and Axew they will train hard. Ash tells Scraggy to rest a while. Scraggy headbutts the Poké Ball and allows itself to be caught.
The "Who's That Pokémon?" is Scraggy.

text: "I will eat but you have to guess first what food is on my head…" This might be the idea of some toddlers, when you call them for a meal. Moms are usually bothered with toddlers who are picky eaters. At this growing stage of a child, it is a hard task for them to feed pick-eating ones. They exhibit the picky-on-food or mice-like eating habits that requires patience and understanding. Most moms are getting too much trouble in choosing their child's food. It might be healthy but the toddler won't even mind it or even just tasting it for once.

I helped on a cut-out this past weekend for my first hive. A fellow Beesource member (wildforager aka Little John) brought his experience and bee vac and everything went super smooth. I thought the hive was really stronger for this time of year in WI, pulled 5 frames of brood and eggs from the hive and another 3 buckets of nectar/pollen filled combs and 1.5 buckets of capped honey stores. There was also quite a lot of uncapped honey as well.
Some pics (credit Little John):
Found the Queen as well:
Not a single sting to boot!

I think Ms Stoltz(fus) is one of the most beautiful women to come along in years. She has the fresh faced look and the innocence that all of us women wish we still had. I love that she is forging her own path and although I'm sure her pain is deep because family is everything to her and to most of us, she must live her own life. I hope her star rises to the top and we see more good things out of her soon. 2 of these photos are my favorites. This black and white of her applying make-up and the one where she is fully clothed wearing unconventional make-up in tans and browns. (# 6 and 4)

History and folklore of Nevada, written by Associate Professor Michael Green of UNLV, and narrated by former Senator Richard Bryan. Supported by Nevada Humanities and dedicated to the memory of historian Frank Wright. (All segments prior to August 2003 were written by Frank Wright.)Nevada Yesterdays is the collection of essays written by Frank Wright that immortalize the real history of Las Vegas.
Monday the May 29 marks the centennial of John F. Kennedy's birth. We take a look at some of his ties to Nevada.
Last time, we were talking about World War I. The U.S. declared war a century ago, April 6.
On April 6, 1917, Congress declared war. Woodrow Wilson said it was necessary to make the world safe for democracy. We didn't entirely succeed at that. We also didn't entirely fail.
Last time, we talked about the origins of Block 16 … and said we would tell you how it closed.
"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." That's the classic line in the film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. It also applies to history at times.
A day apart, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died. A photo showed Reynolds on stage at the Riviera in 1963 as her six-year-old daughter Carrie watched from a stool just offstage.
January 18, 2017, marks an anniversary. On that day, the Nevada legislature completed the state. If that sounds strange, well, it is.
We couldn't say goodbye to 2016 without mentioning that it marked the 75th anniversary of the Las Vegas Strip. Well, the road WAS there already, dotted with some small clubs and restaurants.
Howard Hughes left a mixed legacy in Nevada. We've talked about some of the good and the bad. Part of the problem is the myth that he cleared out organized crime. He did no such thing.
Half a century ago, Nevada's world turned upside down. On November 27, 1966, a Union Pacific train stopped where the tracks cross Carey Avenue in North Las Vegas.

I am wondering if anyone out there uses a Queen excluder?
When i do it seems to keep out the bees.
When I don't I get a lot of brood in my honey suppers.
There has to be a better way to do this.
I am wondering if anyone out there uses a Queen excluder?

There has to be a better way to do this.
You may find this link to Michaels Bush's site useful:
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
How many and what size boxes are you using for brood?
I am using 2 deeps for hive bodies and shallows for honey suppers.
I use a similar set up and do not see brood in my supers. I do not use queen excluders.
One more thing that comes to mind is possibly you have supers on too early?
That could be my problem .I put them on before the blackberry's bloom.
This subject has been covered in a previous thread, you may wish to search for it. that said:
We use a single deep brood chamber, deep supers, an excluder, and see no evidence that the bees are reluctant to cross it. It helps however, to have strong hives. i can not imagine not using one.
Crazy Roland
I use excluders on all my hives and dont think I have any problems with honey production. If your having trouble getting the bees to cross the excluder you can wait a couple days for them to stat working the supers then put it on. I got tired of haveing brood in the honey supers and also wax moths were more of a problem in stored honey supers if they have had brood in them
If you are having problems with brood in your honey supers, a queen excluder will help. However, you must really use drawn comb above the excluder, at least to start, or the bees can be reluctant to cross it to draw foundation.
Is that brood mostly (or all) drone? If so, I would suggest a couple foundationless frames toward the outside of the bottom box. The bees will draw a bunch of drone comb, and raise drones there when they want them (typically early spring when they make a large crop and then sporadically through the rest of the summer) and they will not build drone comb in the honey supers. You can use the green drone comb, too -- the bees will use it for storage when they are not making drones.
Some people have much more trouble than others (or maybe I should say some bees make a lot more brood in honey supers than other). We have had only a single row, at most two, in the center of the combs in the bottom honey super, never more than that.
Roland didn't mention that he uses a main entrance directly above the excluder. This is important.
I don't usually use excluders, but have been trying TOP entrances this season and (due to discussion's with Roland) have tried using an excluder with them. The top entrance as the MAIN entrance makes a huge difference!
An excluder works much better when you have both a top AND bottom entrance. My top entrances are right at the top of the hive. Also, it may work better to start with only a top entrance a week or two before you put on the excluder, so that this is used as the main entrance.
I would recommend a bottom entrance of 1/2 inch most of the time, and no wider than 1 inch (unless you have temperatures above 35°C/95°F). I have found that bearding in hot weather has stopped, with having both entrances. The fanners go to the bottom entrance and draw air down through the hive and out the bottom. The evaporation from the nectar helps to cool the hive, with the wettest nectar at the top, air is drawn down. So the foragers come and go in the top entrance without having to dodge fanning bees. We've had temperatures of 40°C/104°F and looking at the top entrance, you wouldn't even think they were hot. (I did open the bottom entrance to a couple of inches on these days.)
The main thing is that the bees store less nectar in the brood nest and more above the excluder! This helps to reduce backfilling of the brood nest, therefore reducing conditions for swarm preparation as well.

I plan on using one this year for honey production just to experiement with it. Last year the honey was broodless.
I do use one for swarm calls to exclude the queen(s).
I have seen on (youtube) as many as 5 queens from a single swarm. Personally, I had 2 queens in a single swarm.
When I use front facing top entrances above the excluder I get mated virgins moving in the honey supers. How do you stop that?
I read somewhere that turning the QE sideways can help. There are gaps at the front and back where the queen can go through, but she normally won't because she doesn't usually venture to the very front or back of the frames. Never tried it though to see how well it works.
If you're thinking of trying queen excluders, I recommend you read this POV article, queen excluders or honey excluders to discover the best way to use them.
- + - + - +
What happened to me, was that I discovered my hives were being devastatingly depopulated by local endemic desert toads. I realized that I needed to take drastic action to turn this around. I made myself some screened bottom boards (with no entrances). Next, I made some rims to use for creating upper entrances. I didn't think to add the excluders and drone/queen escape holes, until I read the POV article, referenced, above.
* ^ * ^ * ^
I've only had that happen, once (so far). I do leave small entrance holes in all the supers beneath the excluder -- for drones and queen use.

Ive used them for years now. I dont have any data not useing them.
I like not having to worry about brood in my honey supers.
I do use an upper entrance above the excluder as well as a lower entrance below it. I do think it will lead to swarming issues if you dont watch the bottom boxes and make shure they have plenty of space below the excluder.
After i have a full super of honey above it, i have removed it useing the honey super as a natural excluder. Ive been told (and somewhat experienced) that the queen will not cross the "honey barrier" to seek space above. but again, at that point you also risk swarming behavor if there isnt enough room in the brood box.(s)
I did not use queen excluders last year, and I did have brood in my honey super. Of the 10 frames in my super, I had brood in 4 of them. I found out that the bees won't leave that brood!!
We ran w/o excluders for 10 years then got tired of dealing with brood in honey supers since we extract several times through the year. We added supers and an upper entrance (jog the 2nd honey super back 1/4 inch) and find it works exceptionally well for us. We also like the fact the bees seem to take a little more of the late summer flow and make big bands above the cluster filling it in as brood dwindles and space opens. I think we winter better as a result of earlier season honey stores in the brood chamber.
Joel, what do you mean that you "jog the 2nd honey super back 1/4"? That wouldn't be enough to open up an entrance, so what is the purpose? Thanks for explaining this to a rookie!
Matt Davey said:

He's got a mad handle
Beautiful, touching story coming out of Manhattan, where New Jersey Nets all-world point guard Jason Kidd stands accused first of groping an aspiring plus-sized model, then of giving her an impromptu lesson in physics after she objected to his treatment.
According to various news reports, at around 2:30 on the morning of October 10, in a West Village nightclub called Tenjune, Kidd walked over to the would-be model — described repeatedly in reports as "plus-sized" or "tubby" — and grabbed her by the crotch. When the woman objected to the treatment, a fracas broke out between the 6-4 Kidd and the woman, at which point Kidd allegedly said to her, "If we got in a fight, who do you think would win?"
Kidd then allegedly groped her a second time after the "fight," with his hands moving over her "buttocks and crotch." At some point, bouncers at the club intervened and made sure that the woman and Kidd were seated at separate tables, far away from each other.
Management at Tenjune said they received no reports from the woman of inappropriate behavior. Kidd, meanwhile, issued a statement: "This accusation is a complete fabrication and it is sad that someone would make something like this up."
Kidd has been in the papers for this sort of thing before. In 2001, he was arrested after his ex-wife, Joumana Kidd, claimed he slapped her in the face during an argument. He pleaded guilty to spousal abuse and was ordered to pay a crippling $200 fine, as well as attend anger-management class.
Kidd's alleged statement, sarcastically noting that he could beat up any woman, stands in odd opposition to his recent claims, in court papers, of having been physically abused by Joumana. He filed suit against his ex-wife, claiming that Joumana was "controlling and manipulative" and kicked, hit, punched and threw objects at him, all on a serial basis. Joumana countersued, calling J-Kidd a "serial abuser" who slept with nearly everyone in the Western Hemisphere, but Jason stood by his sad story.
Kidd's claim put him in an elite group of athletes who have claimed abuse at the hands of wives or girlfriends, a list that includes the immortal Chuck Finley (beaten quite impressively by former Bachelor Party star Tawny Kitaen), Orioles pitcher Scott Erickson (who was bitten and injured on his pitching arm after carrying his girlfriend, Lisa, out of their apartment), Rams tight end Randy McMichael (who claimed he was hit first by his pregnant wife, Cawanna, before he teed off on her), pine-riding Detroit Pistons towel-waver Darvin Ham (assaulted with a bottle by his wife), and Green Bay Packers linebacker Tyrone Williams (doused with pepper spray and then cut along the arm by wife Shantel in '02).
Lots of class being shown this year by New York–area point guards in general, with Stephon ("I am not of this planet") Marbury delighting fans everywhere with the already-notorious "Are you going to get in the truck?" story in the Isiah Thomas trial. J-Kidd, who had previously been martyred here in Boston after our hometown fans taunted his wife during the Pierce–Walker playoff run years ago, now goes back into karmic debt with this offense. Give him 55 points for the crotch grab, pending an investigation.

UTSA alumnus Steve DaLuz designs Fiesta poster
By Anne Keever Cannon
Public Relations Manager, Fiesta San Antonio Commission
(March 30, 2007)--The creator of the Fiesta San Antonio 2007 poster, UTSA alumnus Steve DaLuz, says he developed his interest in art shortly after his birth 53 years ago. But he didn't turn to art as a career until more than 40 years later.
"My life's passion is art," said DaLuz. "The one superlative my kindergarten teachers had about me was how well I colored."

DaLuz studied art at San Antonio College after his 1971 graduation from John Jay High School. But before long, he got sidetracked by the call of Uncle Sam. Steve enlisted in the Air Force for what he thought would be a four-year hitch.
He ended up retiring in 1996 as director of protocol at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base after a career of nearly 25 years. To keep his hand in, DaLuz consistently created art on his personal time -- organizational emblems, cartoons for base newspapers and portraits for retiring co-workers.
Upon his return to San Antonio in 1996, he returned to SAC and his art studies. That's where he first expanded his skills with painting and graphic design classes. He has high praise for the school's art program.
"It's a terrific school for learning graphic design and art fundamentals," Steve said. "The instructors at SAC were outstanding. I believe SAC is a good place for aspiring young artists to begin their art education."
In 2002, DaLuz transferred to UTSA and studied under Roxi McCloskey , Connie Lowe and other "excellent art professors," he said.
"I probably learned the most about the technical aspects of painting from Roxi," he said. "She really stood out. I can't thank both these schools enough for what they gave me."
DaLuz received a bachelor of fine arts degree from UTSA in 2003. He now works out of a studio at Broadway and Jones. His works can be seen locally at the AnArte Gallery on Broadway and soon at a gallery on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, N.M.
"I'm doing what I feel I was born to do," he added. "I just love to do what I'm doing. And to make a living at it is truly exciting."
The Fiesta San Antonio Commission is a nonprofit organization that plans, coordinates and preserves Fiesta San Antonio through the support of its participating member organizations.
One of the nation's premiere festivals, Fiesta is a 10-day, citywide, fun-filled, multicultural, family-oriented celebration. With more than 100 events, it's the biggest party and greatest community benefit in Texas.

If you are seeking a world-class educational experience within a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville is the place for you. Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
Students in the Department of History and Government have an impressive breadth of coursework from which to choose. This coverage is the result of a group of faculty with a wide range of expertise, including both extensive professional experience and advanced academic preparation. In addition, because of the overlapping nature of several of the programs within the department, a number of courses can be taken for multiple majors. More importantly, the department is committed to preparing young men and women for making a difference in the fields of History and Government. Faculty teach from the foundation of Scriptural principle which compels Christians to be salt and light in all arenas of society, including politics and social avenues. Believing that Scripture supports a conservative ideology regarding current political and social issues, faculty encourage students to evaluate their responsibilities within a democratic republic. In the final analysis, the department seeks to produce Change Agents who will take leadership in bringing Biblical principle to bear in the public square. To that end, the programs within History and Government provide a number of academic opportunities outside the traditional classroom.
The liberal arts courses help students to develop skills in communication, critical thinking, and integration. They also help students learn how to obtain and manage information of all types. One of our goals is to develop educated individuals who establish a pattern of life-long learning. Just as we ought to strive throughout our life to know and serve Jesus Christ better, we ought also to work to do what He has called us to do to the best of our ability. That requires continuous improvement. In addition, we see to graduate informed and responsible citizens. Civic duty is a concept increasingly lost in our country and we believe it is incumbent on Christians to serve the nation in a fashion that is glorifying to Him. We have incredible opportunity to be a part of our government system here in America, and it is our duty to fulfill that responsibility in accordance with biblical principle.
The Center for Political Studies (CPS) was founded in 2005 to provide a biblical response to political and social issues of our day. Modern Americans are wrestling with a range of difficult legal, moral, and political issues. We are confronting war and praying for peace. We are a rich nation that still bears the blight of poverty. We are in turmoil over the beginning and end of life; and we have not yet decided on the moral and political limits of science and technology. We recognize that Christians have no choice but to take a stand in troubled times. We must seek to gain an informed perspective, while evaluating issues through the lens of our faith. Once formed, our convictions will guide us as we navigate through the complicated web of issues, parties, and policies that make up our politics.We seek to engage our nation's political culture with the heart and mind of Christ. By educating students and community members alike to effectively articulate a biblical perspective in response to both political chaos and apathy, we can affect change within our homes, communities, and country..
Alpha Delta Nu provides criminal justice students with the opportunity to enhance their professional development. Members believe that a career in criminal justice is a ministry in a God-ordained institution, which is government.
The mission of the Cedarville Legal Society is to provide a biblical view of justice in the pursuit of a law degree by sponsoring educational activities related to pursuing a legal career, establishing relationships with students with common career goals, and promoting the profession of law to Cedarville students.
Epsilon Pi Lambda is a student organization that provides opportunities for students to grow in their appreciation of the fields of history and government and provide an outlet for pursuing knowledge, obtaining academic support, gaining fellowship, and providing service.
Omega Mu is the Cedarville University chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society. It is the goal of this honor society to promote the scholarly investigation of politics and to assist its members in developing their leadership potential in their sphere of influence.
The Travel Studies Department provides a plethora of opportunities for you to travel and study overseas. The options include two main types of travel opportunities: the tour course and the semester abroad.
The tour courses are courses offered by Cedarville, generally during the May term, where students can obtain credit for a course while spending part or all of the three week term traveling in another country or multiple countries. Some examples include a World War II tour course, a Reformation tour course, and a Comparative Criminal Justice tour course in Spain.
A semester abroad usually involves a student living in another country for a semester and studying with an institution overseas. Many of these semester abroad programs are sponsored by the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and maintain similar standards as Cedarville does. They provide a unique opportunity to live and study in another setting, learn a foreign language, and experience another culture. A student at Cedarville can pretty much name a place in the world where they want to study and we can help them get there.


text: Re: "StockRod6" headlight and truss rods I finally got some time to make the truss rods and mount them. I'm sure its easy if you know what you are doing but I don't. There are some kinks in the bottom from the axle but it turned out pretty good. here's me bending them to shape. I used the original ones as a reference then stuck them on the bike and modified them to fit. After I attached them I bent the headlight mount to fit over the fender and taped it where I wanted it. It's leaning to far up I'll have to put a wedge of some sort underneath it. But this is how it looks so far. It's looking like a Jaguar to me.

ATTO Disk Benchmark
The ATTO Disk Benchmark program is free, and offers a comprehensive set of test variables to work with. In terms of disk performance, it measures interface transfer rates at various intervals for a user-specified length and then reports read and write speeds for these spot-tests. There are some minor improvements made to the 2.46 version of the program that allow for test lengths up to 2GB, but all of our benchmarks are conducted with 256MB total length. ATTO Disk Benchmark requires that an active partition be set on the drive being tested. Please consider the results displayed by this benchmark to be basic bandwidth speed performance indicators.
ATTO Disk Benchmark: Queue Depth 4 (Default)
Our bandwidth speed tests begin with theSanDisk Extreme II solid state drive attached to the Intel P67-Express SATA 6Gb/s controller operating in AHCI mode. Using the ATTO Disk Benchmark tool, the test drive performs basic file transfers ranging from 0.5 KB to 8192 KB.
The 240GB model provided to Benchmark Reviews for testing produced 546 MBps maximum read speeds that plateau from around 32-1024 KB file chunks, and 521 MBps peak write bandwidth that plateaus from 64-8192 KB. These results agree with SanDisk's performance specifications of 550/510 MBps for the 240GB SanDisk Extreme II SSD model.
In the next section, Benchmark Reviews tests sequential performance using the CrystalDiskMark 3.0 software tool…

Town Square
Finest Hours
Original post made by Informed, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Aug 28, 2012
black Dem Congressman, who spoke at Obama's '08 convention, who is now a Republican. He gave an incredible speech.
These last 2 hours have been amazing. Now speaking is Ann Romney, but I'm recording and listening. Then Gov Christie. But what every young adult should hear is these last 2 hours, which will likely be instantly rerun...,.how lucky we are to be Americans. Networks, full of ads don't carry most of this.
Those first 2 hours tell the story...a must see.

If you watched the convention telecast on MSNBC, you probably would have come away with their idea that the Republican Party is only for white people. As they completely omitted all of the speeches by anyone of color. Thus promoting the canard that the Republican Party is the party of the white people. This is typical of MSNBC to omit things to paint their targets in negative ways. This is lying by omission. Although I did not watch MSNBC for the convention, that would be ridiculous, I did however watch the Internet stream from the RNC [and I will do the same for the Democrat convention, if they stream it live].
What was nice about the presentation was that the camera was on the podium the whole time pretty much except for a few panning shots of the participants. There was no pundant commentary, there was no commercials, there were no talking head interpretation for what was being said, as if I was dolt and couldn't understand for myself. This was the kind of non-coverage that makes these sorts of things worthwhile. Not having some idiot tell me what to think...priceless!

Well, as it turns out, a few others [networks] did the same thing, which goes to the point I was trying to make in the second paragraph. And on another note, what we see for coverage these days, is more about the people doing the coverage than what is actually happening. And while I am at it, this same problem is making the viewing of the football on television a pain in the you know what as well. I just don't like the commentators giving themselves face time while the real substance of what they're covering is going on in the background without even acknowledging it. But I digress...
Although I did not tune in, I understand C-SPAN provided event only coverage, without nuisance interruptions from talking heads. Again my previous comments go to the streaming video I watched which apparently was much in the same vein as that of C-SPAN.
I hope the lapses in coverage were only business decisions as to what kind of coverage they were going to offer and who they were going to cover. I would suspect that was in play in some instances, however I am not so ingratiating towards MSNBC as I think their motives were nefarious. Just my opinion.
I am looking forward to today's coverage on the YouTube RNC site. I especially like some of the musical numbers as one group was featuring the same guitarist that was in the Saturday Night Live Band for many years. An excellent band, and the music was wonderful.
Overall a good production. And I am looking forward to the more of the RNC and the Democratic convention next week.

I hope Fox covers the two hours of muslim prayers that is scheduled to precede the dem convention. Should make for riveting viewing, once you get past the obvious pandering to the religion of peace and their undecided followers.

I always watch C-Span live to make sure I don't miss anything, and that it isn't tranlated to me in lies, like msnbc does....but I don't like anybody's ads, AND all LIMIT the coverage, cutting what THEY want to cut. (sad msnbc creates a false pic to other blacks).
A classic example is the omission of blacks by msnbc.
One man's name is Artur (no h) Davis. Davis. As a black Harvard lawyer, Dem Congressman, he gave the 2nd nomination speech for Obama, at Obama's '08 convention.. He is now a Republican and last night gave a fabulous, passionate speech for Mitt Romney!! You would recognize him if you follow Washington. He said there are 6.2 million like him who are not staying with Obama. He said they voted right for '08, but need to 'correct the situation in 2012'.
And, what scares me, is Obama will be free to do anything he wants, since he won't give a DARN about any REelection, and could do some very scary damage.

The news networks are reporting an ugly incident of racism by two Republican convention attendees against a black CNN camerawoman. This is indeed the Republicans' "Finest Hour":

Sam, even you can't really believe this story posted on huff po. Theres only a video of wolf blitzed self righteously imagining a vast right wing racist uprising.
This is reminiscent of the attacks on the tea party a couple of years ago, when some black politician claimed he was it upon. Even though there's video of the timeframe and area this guy was walking through the crowd, there's no evidence that any of his baseless claims were true. The tea party even offered up a reward to catch the perp if there was some proof of any indiscretion and of course no one could take them up on the offer.
It doesn't take much imagination for dems to dream this stuff up...it's all Alinsky style political attacks. Just goes to show there's no debating the issues or Obamas record by the left, only imaginary attacks to gin up the race baiters.
All the while, the press is caught with audio evidence claiming R's are letting blacks drown from the tropical storm.
Amazing what the childish left will come up with.

I have several friends attending, there was NO such thing....probably another Debbie Wasserman lie...have to start calling her Desperate Debbie.
The Tues early eve, the leftist 'major' networks didn't even carry, which is why I always watch C-Cpan live,,, use my own eyes and own brain. Only stupid people would believe lies, much less repeat them !!.
THE FINEST HOURS were just that...stories from poor and middle individuals and couples who rather than handouts, started small enterprises, some still family business, most into small and medium companies, providing jobs for themselves and many others. Some now just hangng on. About half were legal immigrants who never took anything, but built successful companies.
Also, So Carolina GOV Nikki Haley, parents Indian immigrants, who literally fought to allow Boeing Air to have a plant in So Carolina,
not only did she defeat Obama, the first super plane has now been rolled out, Yet, Boeing parent plant in Seattle didn't LOSE anything, they have ADDED 2,000 new employees there. Obama wanted force the business out of US, if they wouldn't allow the 2nd So Carol plant to open. She won. Workers won. Everybody won. He wanted to shut things down, force unions in,...that's what the socialized union mentality does to stop free enterprise. That gutsy gal won, 2 states won, workers won. All very inspiring. So manyRepub gutsy gal GOVernors who move their states forward.
GOV Martinez, New Mexico,the first female hispanic gov, was born at the Mex & New Mex border, family thot they had to be Dems. As she got into the adult world found out she fit with Repubs and now governor....another successful story. over and over success over dependence....

Now, and this last hour a most incredible hour of hispanic stories of Republican immigrants. Now, stories of Mitt's personal service helping individuals in his community...without any knowledge, except those he helped, mentored, and provied for.

Sorry, it's no lie. The Republican convention admitted that the incident took place and that they threw the two offenders out.

They aren't denying the incident, but saying it was misinterpreted by the mainstream media as being racism, when it was only an act of enthusiasm for their party and against the liberal media bias.

Your opinions?
County Inspector came by and apologized profusely to my wife for me having to sure up the generator with that heavy duty concrete job I did 2 weeks ago. He said that code completely does not require a concrete pad under a generator. Tell that to the town clerk?
Inspector said that it really sucks for us, because now I cannot have a barbeque on the deck which is located about 10 ft above and 5 feet behind the generator location. To add insult to injury, he said that my original selected location for the generator would have been fine.
At this point all the electric is run to the current location. I spent 12-15 hours on the concrete process.
Town is apologizing, county is apologizing, Propane company just called me and told me that they are making an exception and will have their people there by noon tomorrow(they don't work Saturday's).
BUT I have to do more work. I must have a 4 foot long 24" deep trench dug from the point where the propane supply currently is to the generator by 12 pm Saturday afternoon.
Do I say screw all the work I have done up to this point and relocate the monster gen. to my original intended location. A a later time Jack hammer the hell out of the concrete and dispose of in woods....and disconnect current electric. If I take that route, electric will have to be rewired from current spot to a different location.
I am just freaked out, not sure which direction to go now.
