MOSCOW, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin held a trilateral meeting with his Azerbaijani and Armenian counterparts on Sunday, discussing the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh territory dispute between Azerbaijani and Armenian.
"We should display patience, wisdom and respect for each other to find a solution," Putin told Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in the southwest resort city of Sochi.
Noting that international formats exist for solving the territorial dispute, a legacy of the Soviet Union, Putin highlighted the Russia-Azerbaijan-Armenia platform as the three countries have deep historical ties.
Aliyev said he hoped the countries, through negotiations and by peaceful means, will soon find a solution in compliance with international law and with justice.
Sargsyan, for his part, said the conflict "should be settled on a compromise basis, using the principles proposed to us by the Minsk Group co-chairmen," adding that there was no military solution.
On Saturday, Putin held bilateral talks with Aliyev and Sargsyan respectively over a wide range of issues, including the recent conflict in the disputed territory, where 18 soldiers from both sides were killed in the past week.
It was not clear what set off the latest violence between the former Soviet republics, which accused each other of being the aggressor, said reports.
In the Soviet Union era, Nagorno-Karabakh had been an autonomous region of Azerbaijan with the majority of population being ethnic Armenians. Military conflicts started in 1988, and Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh held a referendum in 1991, boycotted by local Azeris, which approved the creation of an independent state.
After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, conflicts escalated in the region. An unofficial ceasefire was reached on May 12, 1994.
The then Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, now the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, set up a 12-country Minsk Group in 1992 to negotiate the settlement of the conflict, but has not yet achieved substantial progress.

Rowe scores twice in 2-0 win over UC Davis
Sept. 23, 2012
Riverside, Calif. --- Well if the goal is to go into conference play on a hot streak, you can color that streak Cherry & Silver, and the Mountain West needs to look out. The Lobos got a pair of goals by Stephanie Rowe, he first career two-goal game, as UNM defeated UC Davis 2-0 on Sunday, giving the Lobos six wins in their last seven matches heading into the conference opener on Friday against Boise State.
Rowe provided all of the offense that UNM would need, scoring once in each half. She opened the scoring at the 8:18 mark when Liz Nare sent a down the right flank to Elba Holguin, whose cross found Rowe in front. The goal was a part of an opening salvo in which UNM peppered Davis' Taylor Jern with four shots on net in the first 14 minutes.
Rowe then got her second of the game and third of the season when Lauren Irwin sent a long clearance into the UC Davis end. A pass back to Jern went awry, and Rowe tapped the ball home in a yawning open net for an insurmountable 2-0 lead. The Aggies attempted to force the action to get back in it, but they could never solve the riddle of Kelli Cornell, who posted five saves on the day, including a pair of solid stops a minute apart not long after Rowe's second tally.
The late push for Davis evened up the shots, but it was UNM with 13 (eight on net) to Davis' 11 (five on net).
UNM improved to 6-4-1 on the season, and 6-1-0 in its last seven matches, the only loss in that stretch to No. 24 Florida 3-2 in a game that UNM led 2-1 before a lightning delay seemed to take the wind out of its sails. Key in the run has been UNM's defense, which has now recorded three straight shutouts, and the fourth in the last five matches.
It's that kind of hot streak that should bode well as UNM opens defense of back-to-back conference titles on Friday night at 6 p.m. against Boise State. UNM enters conference play with a 14 match unbeaten streak in the Mountain West (10-0-4), having not lost a MW regular season match since 2009. UNM also has a school record-tying 10-match unbeaten streak at home (8-0-2) that will be on the line on Friday night.
NOTES: Rowe's two tallies marked the third time in the last six matches that a Lobo posted two goals and four points. Rachel Montoya did it at Georgia, and Jordan Craig did it at Texas ... Cornell recorded her 43rd career win and her 37th career shutout ... Cornell's goals against average lowered to 0.97 for the season, the first time this year it has been under 1.00 ... five different Lobos; Rowe, Montoya, Craig, Hoguin, and Dylann O'Conner have scored game-winners this year.
BONUS NOTE: With UNM's servers down for maintenance, there will not be a box score or updated stats posted until late tonight or tomorrow. UNM athletics apologizes for the inconvenience.

The triple Olympic champion's bid for a 12th title in the event from the past 13 championships was foiled by fellow Queenslander Leiston Pickett, but second place was enough to ensure she will head to London to defend her Beijing gold.
"I did put a lot of pressure on myself, I'd done a lot of media in the leadup to say I was going to my fourth Olympics, so there was a fair bit of pressure on to make it and I've done that job tonight, I'm pretty stoked with that," the 26-year-old told reporters.
"I didn't think I'd ever make it to four Olympics, that's just an absolute dream."
Jones started poorly and posted a time of one minute, 7.64 seconds, nearly a second adrift of Pickett and more than two shy of her Australian record of 1:05.09, a result she blamed in part on illness.
"The time was pretty ordinary but I'm not too bothered with that at the moment ... It was apparently a bit of a viral thing going around that makes you really dizzy, and vomiting and diarrhoea and stuff. Not very nice.
"If I can come out and do 1:07 and still make the team and I'm not feeling 100 percent, that gives me a lot of confidence going into training."
Jones and Pickett are likely to clash for gold in London with American rival Rebecca Soni, who denied Jones the world title in Shanghai last year.
Jones's achievement brought some cheer back to the South Australia Aquatic and Leisure Centre following the colossal disappointment of Ian Thorpe failing to make the final of the 200 freestyle on Friday.
In the five-time Olympic champion's absence, Thomas Fraser-Holmes emerged triumphant, winning a thrilling duel with Kenrick Monk.
The 20-year-old Fraser-Holmes's title followed his 400 individual medley win on the opening day, while Monk's Olympic qualification was redemption of sorts after he was embroiled in scandal for lying to police about a skateboard injury last year.
"I did have my ups and downs and it was a bit of a roller coaster (but) I'm on the team and I'm going to London," Monk said.
Olympic silver medallist Hayden Stoeckel qualified for his second Games after edging Dani Arnamnart for the 100 backstroke title, while Emily Seebohm, who won gold in the 100 medley relay at Beijing, beat Belinda Hocking to win the women's event.
Stephanie Rice, swimming through the pain of a nagging shoulder injury, eased into the finals of the 200 freestyle and the 200 individual medley, raising hopes of defending all three of her Beijing Olympic titles.
World record holder Rice became the first swimmer to book her Olympic ticket at the trials when she won the 400 metres IM on the opening day on Thursday and will also hope to defend her 200 IM and 200 freestyle relay titles at London.
Controversial swimmer Nick D'Arcy qualified first into the 200 butterfly final to boost his London hopes, four years after being kicked off the Beijing-bound Olympic team for punching fellow swimmer Simon Cowley at a Sydney night club.
D'Arcy was convicted for assault and later filed for bankruptcy after he was ordered to pay A$180,000 in damages to Cowley. He was cleared to compete at the trials last month.
"I'm just trying to focus on each race at a time," D'Arcy said after his morning preliminary. "It's three rounds of a title fight."
Day four of the trials on Sunday will see Thorpe attempt to qualify for the 100 freestyle final - his last-chance saloon for London - in an ultra-competitive field including world champion James Magnussen and the other members of Australia's gold-medal winning 100 freestyle relay team.

Blended Learning (Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences)
Proposals Due Sunday, January 31, 2016
Five Colleges invites proposals for pilot projects that combine on-line and in-person forms of student engagement ("blended learning") as a means of advancing student learning in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. These awards are supported by the Five College Deans and a multi-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The goal of the grant is to engage faculty members in the exploration and evaluation of blended learning's potential to enrich teaching and learning in liberal arts settings.
Proposals are welcome from individual faculty members at one of the five institutions or teams of faculty members and instructional technology or library specialists. Projects need not be explicitly designed to serve courses on more than one campus, but we encourage projects that are developed collaboratively. Results of each project will be shared across the consortium. We especially seek proposals in two broad areas, language learning and research methods, but half of all funded proposals will likely be for projects supporting student learning outside these target areas.
Leaders of funded projects (8-10 in each year of the grant) will join a summer institute May 23-27, 2016. The institute will offer time for project work as well as orientation to online technologies, blended course design, and the latest research on how students learn, particularly in blended learning environments. Work during the institute, including developing plans for measuring student success in achieving learning goals identified by the project, will be supported by faculty mentors with experience in blended learning. Assistance and advice will also be available from instructional technology and instructional design specialists. Assistance for project leaders will continue to be provided throughout the summer and during the following academic year as project work is completed. Support from the grant will include summer stipends for project leaders ($3,000) and additional funding (up to $10,000 per project) for other project needs (e.g., hiring a replacement to teach a course that the faculty member temporarily relinquishes while developing materials for the project, summer stipends for additional faculty participants, honoraria for consultants, travel, additional student assistants, purchase of materials, etc.). Staff members at any of the five campuses cannot receive a stipend. However, a contribution to professional development funds is possible when staff members take on aspects of the project that go beyond offering IT support, such as co-teaching a course. Five College faculty members cannot be compensated for guest lectures.
Under the terms of our grant from the Mellon Foundation, Five Colleges must assume ownership of intellectual property produced with grant funds in order to ensure it remains freely available to the public for educational and scholarly use. We have developed an intellectual property statement and agreement that may be consulted online. Successful applicants will need to sign this agreement as a condition of funding.
Proposals (2-4 pages) must do the following:
- Identify project goals (e.g., overcoming particular student learning challenges, introducing new content to a course, supporting skills development, improving student engagement, expanding learning communities, improving opportunities for assessing student learning throughout a course, etc.);
- Describe the project and particularly how the online and in-person components of the project will relate to one another and how student participation in online components will be continuously evaluated as part of course work;
- Provide evidence of a preliminary literature review identifying publicly available materials that could be adapted to serve project purposes. (Proposers should take care to investigate resources supporting online learning that have already been developed. Helpful sites include the Bryn Mawr-Carnegie Mellon OLI collaboration (http://nextgenlearning.blogs.brynmawr.edu/) and the University of Central Florida (http://blended.online.ucf.edu/).
- Reflect on ways the success of the project might be measured, with particular attention to how online course components help students achieve learning goals identified by the project.
- Outline a tentative work plan and budget for the project during the summer and academic year following the summer institute and a date for launching the revised course or course modules or other project outcome. (We anticipate these tentative work plans and budgets will be revised in the course of the summer institute.)
- Describe the project's technical support requirements and identify one or more campus-based staff persons with whom you have consulted and who have agreed to participate in your project as your IT liaison.
Required: Please consult with your IT department well in advance of the January 31 deadline (ideally, before winter break) in order to:
a. ensure the feasibility of your project and technical support from your campus.
b. identify an IT liaison who will work with you on this project for the entire grant period. We strongly recommend that this IT liaison attend most, if not all, of the Summer Institute in May.
Proposals will be evaluated for award with reference to the following objectives, although no proposal will be expected to address all of these:
- Enhances student engagement and learning in the humanities and humanistic social sciences;
- Enhances opportunities for students to learn effectively and collaboratively in and out of the classroom;
- Involves faculty members from multiple campuses in developing the project and/or demonstrates multi-campus interest in the project outcome;
- Offers potential for a single course—or course modules—to be shared across multiple campuses;
- Utilizes resources efficiently (i.e., adapts or utilizes an existing resource);
- Lowers barriers discouraging students from taking courses at another campus, thereby expanding the range of courses accessible to students (currently these are primarily transportation barriers and the frequency of course meetings);
- Expands the access of students to a wider set of curricular offerings;
- Strengthens a multi-campus program;
- Improves learning outcomes in ways that can be assessed;
- Is feasible – that is, the project is within our capacity to provide needed support, such as funds, mentors and instructional technologists; and
- In the case of developing a new course, has endorsement from a department or program chair concurring that resources are currently available to allow the faculty member to teach the new course.
Proposals are due by the end of Sunday, January 31, 2016 and should be submitted using the online application form at https://www.fivecolleges.edu/blended/apply/bl-humanities-application-2016. Proposals will be reviewed by the project steering committee for curricular and intellectual merit, but also with regard for our capacity to meet the technical needs of the project from Five College or campus-based resources as confirmed by offices on the campuses. Awards will be announced by April 15, 2016. Persons interested in submitting a proposal are encouraged to consult with Nate Therien, Five College Director for Academic Programs (firstname.lastname@example.com).

I was recently invited by the teachers at Englewood School, in Crapaud, PEI, to be one of the guest speakers at the launch of their pilot project to use blogging in their language arts classes.
The idea is to engage their junior high students in transactional writing via blogs, which would be a great way to promote literacy among today's youth.
Given the opportunity to shape young minds (for good, rather than evil), I was pleased to accept the invitation, providing me a bit of a welcome break from covering the NHL lockout,
It's been several years since I engaged in public speaking, so I was a bit nervous, but quickly shook off the rust. For about 15 minutes, I spoke to the students and teachers about my longtime love of writing, my inspirations, the origins of Spector's Hockey, and how it led to a career as a free lance NHL columnist and blogger.
Most importantly, I stressed the joy of writing, and how it can be an enjoyable, fulfilling experience. The students were fully engaged and asked plenty of questions, some about blogging, most about the NHL. It was delightful talking to students about a subject dear to my heart, and I hope to contribute in some way to their blogging project in the near future.
Throughout my visit to Englewood School, however, one question was repeatedly asked of me: "Do you think the NHL lockout will end soon?"
My response always began with "hopefully", then stating my "gut feeling" the two sides might work something out before the end of November.
It's a response I've become used to giving out only a few times throughout the course of a day. A reader will seek my opinion via e-mail, the comment section of one of the posts on my site, or social media. The topic inevitably comes up whenever I meet with family and friends.
This, however, was the first time I was asked by a much larger group of people, in one place at one time. It surprised me how many teachers and students – especially students – were hoping for an end to the lockout.
Of course, I shouldn't have been surprised. This is Prince Edward Island, one of the most hockey-mad provinces in the most hockey-mad country on earth.
I've heard from a number of hockey fans during this lockout claiming they're done with the NHL, fed up with the greed on both sides, tired of the lockout news, and vowing they'll never return whenever the league returns to action. I have no reason to doubt their sincerity.
It was obvious, however, the students at Englewood School didn't feel the same way. These teenagers weren't interested in the business side of the sport. They don't care about the money, or which side is more to blame for the lockout. They simply miss the NHL, and want it back.
Here's hoping their wish will be granted soon.

How exactly these songs fit together with "Holes"' delicate plucking and the title track's pixelated folk might be locked in Fol Chen's brains, but even if there are more pieces of their puzzle-pop missing here than there were on John Shade, Your Fortune's Made, The New December is never boring.
Whether or not Part II: The New December is steadied and readied as an opportunity to cash in on winning success (they were featured in everything ranging as far as NPR and a video collaboration with the Laker Girls), this is another great compression of darkly layered pop and stellar IDM.
Had Fol Chen made good on those early impulses to really boost The New December's kinky eccentricities, it wouldn't have been much of a surprise to find it making serious inroads with new listeners. Though it ultimately only warrants selective revisiting.

Obama to Lay Wreath at Ground Zero
President Barack Obama will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at Ground Zero today and meet with families of September 11 victims and first responders during his visit.
Obama is set to visit the World Trade Center site on Thursday following his announcement that Osama bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. Navy SEALs.
The NYPD's heightened security following the death of the terror mastermind will remain in place least through the president's visit to the World Trade Center site Thursday.
There are no specific threats against the city, but officials are concerned "disciples" of the terror mastermind may attempt to stage an attack, authorities said.
Since bin Laden was killed, the NYPD has been on alert for suspicious packages at landmarks and elsewhere. They have also been working overtime to provide more security in subways during the rush-hours.
In an interview with WNYC, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said New York City still remains a No. 1 target for terrorists.
"We have to be alert for a potential attack based on the death of bin Laden and we are," Kelly told WNYC during an interview in Lower Manhattan on Monday.
"New York is the No. 1 target. That's the stark reality. This is seen as the most important city in the world to these types of terrorists, so I don't see that changing as a result of the death of bin Laden."
The commissioner said New Yorkers can expect a greater police presence at major transport hubs and additional bag screenings in the subways.

Oh look, John Kovalic of Munchkin and Apples to Apples fame has made a game named after my blog...
not really, but I suppose I'll have to check it out... twist my arm why dont'cha!?
On a different note, I will be back behind the DM screen for the first time in over a month tonight. I will also be trying my hand at running the game from the Microsoft Surface RT. In playing around with it, I suspect it has some excellent potential as a GM platform, but tonight will put my suspicions to the test.
I'll try to deliver up a full report on Friday.

text: As a British cornet player, you are used to playing with a sweet, mellow tone, so the flugel is a much easier instrument to get into because you already play that way. If you are a trumpet player, you'll generally have a much brighter tone and be used to playing more - how can I put this? - 'heavy-handedly' so you have to get used to toning that down to a flugel. I've heard trumpet players murder the cornet, so it's easy to see why they are intimidated by a lil' old flugel.

Before you dive into the day's drudgery, here's a sweet tale about two dogs, Isaac and Isabella.
He's a happy-faced Siberian husky. She's a feisty terrier mix roughly half his size.
They are inseparable.
As it happens, Isaac is blind and Isabella has taken on the role of his protector – indeed, she is his "Seeing Eye" dog.
According to a video report from CBS News, the San Bernardino, Calif., strays were close to being put down when a non-profit animal foundation stepped in and rescued the pair.
"They're a bonded pair," insisted Fred Kaplan of the STAND Foundation in Hermosa Beach, Calif. "They tend to want to walk together and stay close to one another all the time. If there's any separation … Isabella gets very concerned and is always backtracking to make sure he is always aware of her presence."
Vets believe that Isaac suffers from glaucoma and the video shows a euthanasia authorization form, presumably meant for the dogs. Instead, they are currently staying at Hermosa Animal Hospital where they seem to be sharing the same cage.
The foundation hopes that the dogs find a new, safe home – one that, needless to say, will protect them both.
This is just the latest example of a dog watching over a sight-impaired dog. But things did not go so smoothly for Great Danes Lily and Maddison in 2011. Ultimately, Lily, the blind dog, needed to be separated from her buddy and "rehomed" when her new environment proved too overwhelming.
Unfortunate, yes. Remember, though: These companion dogs have not been formally trained as official Seeing Eye dogs. They are looking after their fellow canines as a form of kinship and as an instinctual response to another's suffering.
As Kaplan says of Isaac and Isabella, "It's a great example of why animals are so special. They do have feelings, they do understand their environment and circumstances and they're just not robots."
Duh, robots don't drool. Still, it's worth taking cue from Isaac and Isabella; theirs is a dog-help-dog world.Report Typo/Error

Kim Signals Warmer North Korea Ties With SouthSangwon Yoon
North Korea's Kim Jong Un named improving the economy and better relations with South Korea as top policy goals for his second year as leader, signaling he may ease his country's confrontational approach toward Seoul.
"The building of an economic giant is the most important task that comes to the fore in the present stage of building a thriving socialist country," Kim said yesterday in a New Year address carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. "The reunification of the country is the greatest national task that brooks no further delay."
Kim departed from the past year's saber-rattling against South Korean President Lee Myung Bak as Lee's successor Park Geun Hye prepares to take office Feb. 25. Park has repudiated Lee's hard-line North Korea policy, expressing her willingness to talk to Kim and help the North join global organizations to thaw ties.
"Kim's speech mentioned the importance of the economy at far greater frequency than the military," Cheong Seong Chang, senior research fellow at the Seoul-based Sejong Institute, said in an e-mail yesterday. "The success of the Dec. 12 missile launch has given Kim enough confidence to not have to rely on his father's military-first policy to garner support.
''The urgency of economic issues also compounds to the North's need to better ties with South Korea, which makes it likely that Pyongyang will aggressively engage in efforts to resume dialogue," Cheong said.
Better Lives
Kim delivered the 4,112-word address, his sixth public speech since taking power, for about 25 minutes on state television and radio, South Korea's Unification Ministry said yesterday on its website. It was the first New Year speech by a North Korean leader since that delivered by state founder Kim Il Sung in 1994, the ministry said.
"Kim Jong Un is trying to imitate Kim Il Sung and promote a similar image," said the ministry, which also noted Kim's emphasis on the need to increase coal and metal production over last year's call to boost electricity supply.
"We should develop coal-mining, electric power and metallurgical industries and rail transport on a preferential basis and provide a firm springboard for the building of an economic giant," Kim said yesterday. The success of economic construction will be gauged by betterment of people's living standards, which also requires an increase in agricultural and consumer goods output, he added.
China Reliant
North Korea's economy is about one-fortieth the size of that of its southern neighbor. Chronic food insecurity and malnutrition affects about two-thirds of the country's 24 million people, Jerome Sauvage, then-UN resident coordinator in the North Korea capital of Pyongyang, said in June. Heavy rains and floods in July compounded food shortages, leaving almost 600 people dead or missing and 212,000 homeless, KCNA said in August.
The North is reliant on its neighbor China for diplomatic and economic support, with bilateral trade amounting to $5.63 billion in 2011, 70.1 percent of the North's total commerce that year, according to an annual report by South Korea's national statistics office, Statistics Korea. North Korea does not release its economic data.
The number of North Koreans defecting to South Korea has more than halved since Kim Jong Un became leader, according to the Unification Ministry. As of October 2012, a total of 1,203 defectors had entered the South while 2,706 arrived in 2011, data on the ministry's website showed. A total of 24,308 defectors now reside in South Korea, the ministry said.
Diplomatic Shield
China serves as North Korea's diplomatic shield at the United Nations Security Council because it sees potential in North Korea's cheap labor and its rich mineral reserves. As a veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, China has resisted efforts to impose fresh sanctions against the North over its missile launch last month that demonstrated a heightened ballistic capability.
South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan Jin and Unification Minister Yu Woo Ik have warned against the North possibly conducting a third nuclear weapons test in follow up to the December launch.
North Korea has more than 250 long-range artillery installations along the world's most fortified border. South and North Korea technically remain at war after their 1950-1953 conflict ended without a peace treaty.

Arrest in suitcase murder
RIVERSIDE, Calif - An ex-con accused of murdering a Canyon Lake drug counselor
he was dating and stuffing her body in a suitcase left in a motel room was
captured in Mexico and returned to the United States, authorities said today.
Joseph David Dorsey, 28, of Lake Elsinore was arrested around 10 p.m.
Tuesday in Playas de Rosarito by Mexican law enforcement officials, with the
assistance of the FBI. He was transported to the border and handed over to
Riverside County sheriff's investigators.
According to District Attorney's Office spokesman John Hall, arraignment
is tentatively set for Friday afternoon at the Southwest Justice Center in
Dorsey had been sought since authorities discovered the body of his
girlfriend, 47-year-old Christine Stewart, in a Poway Best Western motel room
on Aug. 8. She was reported missing on Aug. 6, according to sheriff's
Dorsey, who has two prior felony strikes against him, was charged on
Aug. 10 with murder, and a Riverside County Superior Court judge signed a
warrant for the parolee's arrest. A federal warrant was also issued alleging
unlawful flight from the country to avoid arrest.
Stewart, who worked as a behavioral health specialist at a drug rehab
center, had been dating Dorsey for an unspecified period before her death,
according to the District Attorney's Office.
The remains of the 5-foot-2, 100-pound Canyon Lake woman were located in
a suitcase abandoned in a room that Dorsey had rented three days earlier.
Employees took possession of the defendant's personal effects when he failed to
check out, leading to the discovery of the remains, prosecutors said.
Court records show that the parolee was convicted in 2006 of assault and
battery on a peace officer, for which he was sentenced to three years in
Dorsey was also convicted in June of attempted burglary. According to
records, the defendant originally was charged with burglary and grand theft in
that case, but under a plea agreement, the two felony charges were dropped and replaced with the lesser count, resulting in a one-year prison sentence. With credit for time served in jail and additional state credit to minimize prison
overcrowding, Dorsey was allowed to go free.

After a positively brutal month of December, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley got an unexpected early Christmas present this week when the Palmetto State's unemployment rate dropped from 10.5 percent to 9.9 percent.
That decline is the largest one-month drop since the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing the state's unemployment data in 1976 – although even after this significant decrease South Carolina's unemployment rate remains the nation's eighth-highest.
"When we took office, the unemployment rate was 10.5 percent," Haley said in a statement. "To see it drop to 9.9 percent is a good way to end the year. We continue to have challenges, but we are committed to doing all we can to put South Carolinians back to work."
Haley aggressively took ownership of the state's unemployment rate when it dropped to 9.8 percent this spring – but was nowhere to be found when it shot up to 11.1 percent during the summer.
The state's underemployment rate – a broader, more accurate measure of joblessness – remains at 18.4 percent.
While the decline – which was preceded by a similar drop in the national unemployment rate – is obviously good news, a big chunk of the gain comes from fewer job-seekers being in the market. In fact, the state's labor pool actually shrunk last month.
S.C. Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian was not impressed by the report.
"If we had any real leadership in South Carolina we would not still be in the bottom 20 percent of employment in the country," Harpootlian said. "Republicans have been in control of this state for almost 10 years and we've teetered in the bottom percentile for the entire decade."
Also tempering the good news for Haley? The fact that one of her "major economic development wins" in Greenville, S.C. has been put on hold.

- Publisher's Summary
- In a compelling mix of literary narrative and ethnography, anthropologist Alma Gottlieb and writer Philip Graham continue the long journey of cultural engagement with the Beng people of Cote d'Ivoire that they first recounted in their award-winning memoir Parallel Worlds. Their commitment over the span of several decades has lent them a rare insight. Braiding their own stories with those of the villagers of Asagbe and Kosangbe, Gottlieb and Graham take turns recounting a host of unexpected dramas with these West African villages, prompting serious questions about the fraught nature of cultural contact. Through events such as a religious leader's declaration that the authors' six-year-old son, Nathaniel, is the reincarnation of a revered ancestor, or Graham's late father being accepted into the Beng afterlife, or the increasing, sometimes dangerous madness of a villager, the authors are forced to reconcile their anthropological and literary gaze with the deepest parts of their personal lives. Along with these intimate dramas, they follow the Beng from times of peace through the times of tragedy that led to Cote d'Ivoire's recent civil conflicts. From these and many other interweaving narratives - and with the combined strengths of an anthropologist and a literary writer - "Braided Worlds" examines the impact of postcolonialism, race, and global inequity at the same time that it chronicles a living, breathing village community where two very different worlds meet.

For anyone that doesn't know Lowestoft has a unique series of steps (scores) that lead from the high street down to the beach, these steps are steep and take a lot of energy. All in all there are 12 scores to take on and if you do what we did that means going up or down 24 times.
As with most of our training we have had to fit it in around our daily lives so on a Friday evening, when everyone else has finished work we headed out on our scores walk.
We left our work offices at around 4:30pm, hiking boots on, back packs loaded and energy low, but hey a bit of red bull and a lot of determination and we were off
We started off by walking from Kirkley Cliffs (part of the Lowestoft seafront) northward to the town centre, this part of the route follows the golden sand towards the massive rig structures visible along the seafront. Its a fairly easy walk, mostly sloping gently down hill and levelling out for about a mile. As this is a tourist area we did come across several walkers taking in the afternoon air and enjoying the sea views.
We reached the town centre after 15 minutes or so, nothing spectacular here, the normal high street shops and a Tesco Metro, the ideal place for a quick stop for chocolate and fruit juice, it makes the walking a little more fun if you think you're doing something naughty.
We made our way quickly to the first of the scores (Herring Fishery Score), this one was our least favourite but none the less provide us with a little exercise. The score lead down from the main street, alongside the police station and towards the industrial area, not very scenic, we wondered at this point if the walk was going to be pretty boring.
We continued on and much to our delight we came across some amazing little gems that were completely unexpected
The scores were a real treat, they were unusual in shape and at times I felt like I had stepped back a hundred years or so.
The final part of the scores took us to the sparrows nest gardens... Probably the most attractive part of the scores walk, by this time our legs were aching from ascending and descending but we were greeted by a lovely little cafe, where I couldn't resist a latte. The scores here turn in cliff paths, taking us through woodland and landscaped gardens. The view was fantastic across the north sea and the industrial area at the start of our walk was left behind.
After we had wondered up and down the sparrows nests gardens for a while we turned around and did the whole lot in reverse, although this time I went in front... Not complaining but after 1 1/2 hours of looking at Dee's backside I needed a bit of a change.
The scores walk is a very challenging one, it takes a lot of energy to get up and down but well worth it.
I wont say too much more as the pictures sum up the experience.

African-American women who get breast cancer often get more aggressive forms of the disease and at younger ages than other women.
But a Georgia State University researcher has found a way to identify these aggressive cancers in black women, which would let their doctors customize their treatment.
Ritu Aneja, associate professor of biology, has been studying a protein called HSET. Earlier studies have linked elevated levels of HSET to the spread of lung cancer to the brain. Others have found that HSET is also abnormally high in a particularly vicious kind of breast cancer, called triple-negative breast cancer, that most commonly occurs in African-American women.
Aneja's federally funded work went a step beyond to see if tests for the protein could help doctors identify aggressive breast cancers in African-American patients. She and her colleagues analyzed breast tumor tissue samples from 149 African-American women and 44 non-Hispanic white women.
She found the samples from African-American women were three times as likely to show high levels of HSET. Her team was also able to link elevated HSET levels to poorer medical outcomes for African American women, but not in white women.
"We were surprised that HSET levels appeared to be a better predictor of cancer outcomes than other routinely used breast cancer predictors," Aneja said. "We are working round the clock to define ways to use this biomarker most effectively and as soon as possible in a clinical setting."
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute.

Standard Bank Group sets the standard for sub-Saharan banking. Standard Bank, South Africa's largest bank, offers a variety of retail and commercial banking, corporate and investment banking, investment management, and life insurance services through about 700 locations in its home country. The group also includes some 450 additional branches in 16 – more... other African nations, where it operates as Stanbic. Beyond Africa, the bank has offices in more than 10 countries on five continents. It serves individuals and business and corporate customers. Standard Bank holds a controlling stake in South African insurance firm Liberty Group.
Standard Bank Group struggled during the prolonged global recession. Low interest rates, lagging credit demand and other financial factors impacted the company's revenues in 2009 and 2010.
The group was forced to cut costs in 2010 by eliminating staff in Johannesburg and London. Standard Bank also reduced consulting services, scaled back or delayed IT projects, and cut down on travel and sponsorships.
Standard Bank also shifted its acquisition strategy outside of Africa. In the past several years Standard Bank completed acquisitions in key geographic areas such as Argentina and Turkey in order to expand in those markets. However, the company sold 80% of Standard Bank Argentina and two other Argentinean units to China's ICBC (which owns about 20% of Standard Bank) in a 2011 deal worth some 4 billion ZAR ($600 million). Standard Bank no longer has plans to buy or build additional businesses outside of Africa.
The company is strengthening its focus on its core market of Africa. Standard Bank is looking to expand in Nigeria and Nambia. The company intends to grow its commercial banking operations there by building new branches. It opened more than 70 branches in Nigeria in 2010 alone.
Elsewhere, in 2009 Standard Bank acquired 33% of Russian investment bank Troika Dialog. The partnership helped the group establish a presence in Russia, where there is an opportunity to create a substantial domestic and cross-border franchise. However, in early 2012 the company sold its stake to Russia's Sberbank for $372 million plus additional funds if Troika performs well. Standard Bank hopes to utilize its relationship with Troika to establish partnerships with Sberbank in the future. – less

Wanted (soon): observations from environment-minded citizens that will allow science to study biodiversity at a planetary level in a massive, comprehensive virtual observatory of historic importance.
The online information system for life on Earth, now under construction, will take its place alongside the global network that records earthquakes, or the world meteorology data network that pools information to predict the weather.
The global scientific collaboration to construct a virtual observatory for the unprecedented study and monitoring of life in an integrative way will be announced by some 500 biology and technology experts from 50 countries, meeting for the first time in London June 1 to 3.
Says organizer James Edwards, Executive Director of the Encyclopedia of Life, based at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC: "We are creating a virtual observatory for world biodiversity, where environmental observations, specimen data, experimental results, and sophisticated modeling can be done across all levels of biodiversity -- from genes to ecosystems."
"Information about the biology and distribution of Earth's species is enormously important to science and our quality of life. And the impact of that information increases tremendously when it is connected and made easily accessible online to all."
The integrated global knowledge base being created will also function as a high-tech "field guide" for the 21st Century, Dr. Edwards explains, allowing citizen users to click seamlessly from images of a plant or animal specimen, to information about its species and genetic code, to maps of its range and more.
Interested in the forest on your favourite mountain trail? You'll soon be able to start with an online satellite image, then click to obtain the wanted information - from the forests' tree species, the shapes of each tree's leaves and the color of its flowers, the insects that feed on the flower, to the DNA of microbes that live in the insects.
Or start small and move up. Found a strange insect in your garden? Online identification guides, digital images and maps, and global databases will help puzzle out the species name, where it came from and whether it's a harmful invasive species.
Then join tens of thousands of users who report their observations and build the global database - an army of citizen scientists who help reveal and verify planetary changes such as the density and area of forest cover or the time plants flower locally.
What may sound like a Star Trek fantasy in fact is a high-tech tool within reach, with many components already in place.
Experts participating at the first e-Biosphere 09 International Conference on Biodiversity Informatics (June 1-3, London) are applying the latest in information technologies to build new software tools that make a global, free access biodiversity information network a reality.
Participants will accelerate their fusion into a powerful information apparatus of historic promise for biodiversity mapping, climate change monitoring and species conservation, among many other benefits.
Within 10 years, scientists say, they could have an efficient and effective way of tracking changes over time in the range and abundance of plants and animals as worldwide temperature and precipitation patterns shift.
Other public interest benefits, some already being realized, include the improved management of:
Hosted by the Natural History Museum, London, and co-sponsored by the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) and 12 other leading biodiversity research institutions, e-Biosphere 09 will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.
Expert groups are working on key aspects of this massive undertaking, from images of species (ARKive), to maps of the marine environment (Aquamaps), to genes (DNA barcoding of species), to display portals, to name but a few. The conference in London represents a landmark step towards the integration of these elements to achieve a dynamic new scientific capability.
Biological informatics, and its subset biodiversity informatics, grew out of a union between biologists and "informaticians" - the branch of computer science that deals with managing data and making it available to users.
Until recently, geneticists, botanists, zoologists, microbiologists, and ecologists talked almost exclusively to other researchers working in the same field.
Thanks to biodiversity informatics, scientists can create a "virtual observatory" to describe, analyze and model world biodiversity at scales that transcend simple landscape. Biomes, ecosystems, phyla, flora, fauna, hotspots, rarities, genetic erosion, the impact of alien species - none of these can actually be physically "observed"; understanding requires the synthesis of information from extensive primary data.
Under construction is an integrated online platform for:
Analysing global biodiversity, including across time, geography and species; and
Moving beyond analysis to global biodiversity modelling, past, present and future.
About half of the 400 conference participants will present their work, highlighting connections between their studies of the Web of Life with others underway elsewhere:
More than 30 other organizations will demonstrate how they are collecting, synthesizing, aggregating and publishing massive assortments of global information, including:
Next steps for building the world biodiversity macro-lab
Prof. Norman MacLeod, The Natural History Museum's Keeper of Palaeontology, comments: "The democratization of biodiversity information is a development of profound importance being accomplished through integrated, easy-to-use tools that allow anyone in the world to extract, manipulate, interact with and contribute information about the plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms with which we share this planet.
"Tools under development to achieve this goal range from fiendishly complex mathematics of automated species recognition software to teaching aids that will allow schoolchildren to access and analyse primary scientific data for class reports."

Structural Vulnerability and Excessive Public Indebtedness in CFA Franc Zone Countries
This paper relies on the 'institutional debt rule' implemented in Franc Zone countries to assess whether the structural vulnerability of these countries matter for their probability to enter into excessive indebtedness. This structural vulnerability is measured by retrospective 'Economic Vulnerability Index' (EVI) recently computed jointly by the United Nations and Guillaumont et al., (2011). We observe evidence that the impact of 'EVI' is non-linear with respect to the probability of these countries to engage into excessive indebtedness and that, this effect appears to be the same for the two monetary areas belonging to the CFA Franc Zone countries: a rise of EVI induces a higher probability of excessive debt and for higher EVI, this probability declines. Consequently, international development institutions such as the Bretton Woods should take into account such vulnerability in their assessment of the adequate development policies and recommendations to these countries.

Rovers 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Eric Black's first game in charge at Ewood Park ended in defeat as Wolves ran out 1-0 winners.
After two draws on the road the interim manager watched on as Wolves soaked up the pressure to steal all three points as Rovers suffered their second defeat of the campaign on a frustrating afternoon.
The visitors started the better of the two sides, Bakary Sako seeing an early effort saved before Sylvan Ebanks-Blake headed against the post.
At the other end Mauro Formica fired over whilst Colin Kazim-RIchards saw an overhead kick claimed.
Rovers huffed and puffed throughout, the introduction of Fabio Nunes injecting a bit more urgency into the play but it was the visitors who would go on and grab the only goal of the game.
A needless corner was conceded and although it was initially cleared, Sako arrived to fire home from the edge of the box.
Rovers laid siege in the closing stages but it was still the visitors with the best chance, Anthony Forde wasting the chance for a second goal in the final seconds.
Following on from the hard-earned point at the City Ground on Wednesday night, Eric Black opted to make just the one change as Colin Kazim-Richards made a welcome return to the starting eleven after six weeks out.
The man making way was Nuno Gomes who dropped to a substitutes bench that included Dickson Etuhu who had missed the match against Forest with a virus.
In charge of Rovers for the first time at Ewood Park Eric Black would have wanted a positive start from the home side but it was Wolves who made the early impression.
Five minutes in and Paul Robinson should good reactions after Bakary Sako somehow threaded a low shot between Bradley Orr and Grant Hanley, but the Rovers number one saved well.
David Davis was next to threaten the Rovers goal when following a strong forward run he let fly from 30 yards, but the midfielder's effort was just over the crossbar.
Barely a game goes by where Jordan Rhodes isn't involved in a penalty claim and he had a strong shout for one on 17 minutes. Looking to get on the end of a floated ball forward from Colin Kazim-Richards, Rhodes got in front of Richard Stearman only to be sent crashing to the ground. Referee Nigel Miller cast an eye over to his linesman on the right but no decision was given.
But it was the visitors who wasted the best chance of the first half on 19 minutes. Kevin Foley was afforded too much room down the right and as he sent the ball over Sylvan Ebanks-Blake rose unmarked to head past Robinson only to see the ball bounce off the foot of the post and away.
From that point on until the end of the first half it was Rovers who were in the ascendency without ever creating a clear cut opening.
Colin Kazim-Richards tried an audacious effort after controlling the ball well which Carl Ikeme was equal to before the Wolves stopper was quickest to react after Martin Olsson's centre was flicked on by Kazim-Richards at the near post.
Mauro Formica fired over after neat approach play, then good persistance by Jordan Rhodes saw the ball break for him in the area but Ikeme was out quickly to divert the striker's effort away from goal.
Just before the break Rovers threatened from a Jason Lowe corner that was nodded back into the mix by Grant Hanley but Colin Kazim-Richard's overhead kick was easily claimed by the Wolves' stopper.
Fabio Nunes was brought on for the start of the second half as Mauro Formica made way and the young winger made an immediate impression.
After already delivering a couple of dangerous crosses into the box, another attempt almost caught out Ikeme. His high delivery seeing the Wolves goalkeeper scrambling backwards as the ball landed on the roof of the net.
Then from a Jason Lowe corner from the right, Scott Dann sent a looping header goalwards only for the Wolves man to claim on his line.
It was good early pressure for Rovers in the second half, but they lacked that clear-cut chance of goal. A growingly frustrated Jordan Rhodes shooting wide from distance.
The visitors hadn't offered much in the second half but on 74 minutes they were ruing a missed chance from Anthony Forde. The substitute arriving in the Rovers area to fire across goal but wide.
However three minutes later it was the visitors celebrating as Rovers again failed to clear their lines properly from a corner kick. Robinson had punched Bakary Sako's corner to the edge of the area but as it was worked back wide it was Sako who opened himself up to lash an unstoppable ball into the far corner of the goal to put Wolves in front.
Rovers tried to respond, Fabio Nunes being particular effective out on the left but despite a host of balls into the box the home side couldn't take advantage of the pressure.
With Rovers pressing they were almost caught in the final throes of the game as Wolves broke quickly, Anthony Forde firing wide once more after good work by Sako.
Rovers now have a fortnight to mull over this defeat, the next match being against Derby County at Pride Park on October 20th.

From last-minute trips to late-night drinks, a busy schedule can wreak havoc on your skin care routine. Thankfully, these oil-free towelettes are designed to pick up the slack, keeping your skin fresh and clean even when your sink and bathroom shelf are out of reach. These 98 percent natural wipes pull triple-duty as a cleanser, exfoliator, and moisturizer, all in a handy pocket-sized package. Organic cucumber extract removes dead skin cells and relieves puffiness, while aloe vera soothes and hydrates skin. Green tea's dual antioxidant and astringent properties help to ease troubled skin and prevent unexpected breakouts.
I liked the texture of the cleansing cloth, the scent, and the feel while I was removing my makeup. However, the feeling on my face as the product was drying was unpleasant. I have oily skin, so maybe the product doesn't work well with my skin type, but I didn't feel like it got my skin very clean. I think it would be great if you're traveling, and don't have access to your normal face-washing routine, but for an every day use, it would not be ideal.3
My skin can be prone to breakouts without proper care, so I only use this type of product when I travel. I would definitely purchase this product. My skin felt clean and fresh and I think it did a really good job of getting all my makeup off. Plus, the smell is very refreshing!4
I use makeup wipes all the time. I like to try new brands all the time. I have heard of this brand but have never tried it until now. I loved this product. It left my face feeling fresh and when I woke up my face still felt clean and refreshes. The scent was pleasing and not over whelming. I will be purchasing this product in the future.5

Where are the Galapagos Islands?
I admit when my grandmother offered to bring me here, 9 years ago, I said to myself "Galapagos Islands, cool, I've never been to Africa!" Fast forward to now and I often find myself explaining to acquaintances just where the Galapagos are, where is Ecuador, and how hard is it to live on the equator (this from a lady who assumed that we lived on the small line that encircles the Earth).
First lets located Ecuador (country highlighted in yellow below), it's a small country sandwiched between Columbia and Peru. Once Columbia, Ecuador, northern Peru and Venezuela were part of "Gran Colombia" a republic united under Simon Bolivar. The republic didn't last long, but you can see from the similar colors of the Ecuadorian, Venezuelan and Colombian flags (red, blue and yellow) that they share a common foundation.
The Galapagos Islands, first visited in 1535 by Bishop of Panamá Fray Tomás de Berlanga , are 575 miles west of continental Ecuador. Charles Darwin visited these islands after setting sail in 1941 aboard the Beagle, he was in the Galapagos islands for less than a week and came up with his theory of evolution based on his short experience here.
Modern day visitors don't have to take a long boat ride to arrive here, as there are flights leaving daily from Quito and Guayaquil, Ecuador. Most flights leave from Quito, with a brief stop in Guayaquil, to allow more passengers to board, and continues the 1 hour 45 minute flight to Baltra airport (airport code GPS). There are 2 airports that large commercial planes can fly to Baltra and San Cristobal (SCY). If travelers are visiting Hotel Solymar in Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz island, they should fly into Baltra airport.
So next time a friend asks you where you are going on vacation….just send them this link. And don't worry after a few days of walking on the equator, I promise; you get pretty good at not falling off!
