Rangers rally past Royals ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — When the Texas Rangers fell four runs behind the Kansas City Royals and pitcher Tom Gadon, their comeback odds seemed slim. But Texas found a way to rally as Mark McLemore ripped a two-run homer in the fourth inning and added an RBI single that keyed a six-run sixth in Texas' 10-4 victory Wednesday night. The Rangers used a 12-hit attack for their 10th come-from-behind victory of the season. Texas has scored 10 or more runs five times this year. "This team just doesn't give up," Rangers first baseman Will Clark said. "It's not one person. Everybody on this team contributes."

NB Little League All-Stars named From staff reports The All-Star list brings to a close an exciting season that has but one game remaining to be played in the New Braunfels Little League. The American League Red Sox take on the National League Giants this Saturday at 7 p.m. for the city championship for 8-9 year olds. The Red Sox overcame the Rockies 13-9 to make it to the championship while the Giants held off the Rangers 5-4. After Saturday's showdown, the players will be preparing for the All-Stars Tournament which begins the week of June 19 in Seguin for 9 to 11-year-old players. New Braunfels hosted the tournament last year. Ricky Beach, president of the National Little League, expects another memorable post-season. "It doesn't gel any more exciting than the All-Stars," said Beach, who has been involved with the competition since childhood. "The All-Stars players represent not only their team and age group, but the league and the city." The field in Seguin will have players from north District 31, including All— Stars from both leagues in New Braunfels, Lockhart, Luling, Canyon Lake, Seguin and San Marcos. The same games are set for little leaguers (12 year olds) across the country vying for a trip to the Williamsport, PA. "We're not unlike a lot of towns across the country," Beach said. "We'll have parents and fans packing the stands and lining up along the fences with lawn chairs to cheer on their kids." The All-Star selections for 12-year-old players will be announced June 17.

Incredible, unbelievable, amazing. They all seem to fall short to describe the Rockets* 120-1 IS overtime victory over Orlando iii Game I of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night It was perhaps the most astonishing chapter yet to this team's improbable playoff run "What a great sport we have," Houston coach Rudy Tomjanovich said. Hakeem Olajuwon, pushed around by Shaquille O'Neal much of the night, winning the scoring battle between them but lr sing the rebound fight big-time, won the game with a rebound. After trailing by 20 points iii the first half, alter being headed for certain defeat before Orlando's Nick Anderson missed four free throws iii the final 10.5 seconds of regulation, the Rockets hold l-O lead in the series. "It's been like this from the beginning of the playoffs, with us coming from behind." Olajuwon said Game glance HOUSTON (120) Elie 7-11 3-4 18, Horry 7-18 1-2 19, Olajuwon 13-26 5-7 31, Smith 8-13 0-0 23, Drexler 7-19 8-8 23, Brown 1-5 0-0 2, Cassell 1-3 1-2 4, Jones 0-1 0-00, Chilcutl 0-0 0-0 0.

This No. 6 seed from the West tied NBA playoff records with its sixth road victory in a row and eighth away from home overall in the postseason. And this one may have been the most unlikely of them all for the defending champions. "I felt they deserved to win tonight," the Rockets' Mario Elie admitted, "but we seem to be pulling the game, like a magician, out of the hat. I don't know how we do it, but this team never quits." Olajuwon tipped in Clyde Drexler's miss for the winning basket with three-tenths of a second left in overtime. O'Neal had gone out to try to block Drexler's layup, the shot went high off the glass, and Olajuwon was there for only his sixth rebound of the game in the suddenly icy silence of the O-rena. "It was so quiet, I didn't even know the basket was good," Olajuwon said. GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (AP) — It's been ll years since Kerry Wood and Kevin Walker won the Little League state championship playing with the Irving All-Stars. Grand Prairie's dynamic pitching duo will have another shot to win state championship glory together when the University Interscholastic League tournament begins in Austin. The Grand Prairie Gophers (33-3-1), who have dazzled fans this season with phenomenal pitching and solid hitting, are trying to win their first UIL title. They'll face Lubbock Coronado (274) in a Class 5A semifinal. The first semifinal match-up will feature Fort Bend Elkins (30-2) vs. Corpus Christi Moody (24-3-2) at 5 p.m. today. Wood, who posted a 14-0 pitching record this season and was drafted in the first round by the Chicago Cubs in last weeks's amateur draft, said that any thing less than a championship victory will be a disappointment. "We've come this far. When we just go out there and play, no one can beat us," Wood said. "It's time to finish the story." Win or lose in Austin, Wood said he will probably forsake college plans and don a Cubs jersey next season. "Since I was five I've wanted lo play major league baseball," Wood said. "I'm probably not going to pass this chance up." His buddy Walker, a relief pitcher, was drafted by the San Diego Padres but still isn't sure whether he'll-go pro. The Gophers have become a local sensation, drawing record crowds and droves of adoring Little League players seeking autographs. "They have really had to grow up a lot," said head coach Mike McGilvray as he signed a baseball for a fan after practice this week. Rockets need more Dream endings to offset Shaq's bullying I j Don't go penciling in the Houston Rockets as cham-rF pions just yet. Beneath the surface of Wednesday's I flpF stunning outcome lurked an ugly monster called series I twne Tte referees set it, and m J they apparently are ready - to let Shaquille O'Neal get away with big-time bulldozing near the basket. It was forgivable the first time the large guy put Ins shoulder down and lunged elbow first into Hakeem Olajuwon, plowing the center to the Boor. It got comical the third and fourth time Shaq rammed his way to the goal, with only a hand-slap travel- Thomas Godley mg call. In any other league, he would have had five fouls al the hall. Not in the NBA, which promotes one-on-one celebrity matchups. Shaq on the bench does nothing for ratings. Facing that kind of handicap, the Rockets had no business stealing Game I in Orlando. The Magic, in all honesty, mustered as much as could be expected against the defending champions. They took a 20-point lead in the second half, and at times the new kids looked downright dominating and confident. The Shaq was holding his own against the Dream, and the Magic perimeter game was clicking. Guards Nick Anderson, Anfemee Hardaway and Brian Shaw looked way too comfortable bombing from beyond the arc. Heck, in the first half Horace Grant single-handedly controlled the Rockets. Even as Clyde Drexler was getting into a groove and Kenny Smith was unconsciously connecting on long-distance liners, a Rockets fan had to feel lucky to still be in it. Rudy Tomjanavich no doubt was counting his blessing when Nick "I Only Make Threes" Anderson missed four straight free throws. Rudy T. had to feel good too to see his team tied in overtime with five seconds left and the ball. The silence that overcame the frenzied crowd in Orlando told the story. It was so quiet that Olajuwon himself fig ured a foul was called and the shot didn't count. The moment, for some strange reason, evoked llashbacks from eleven years ago when the University of Houston's lost the NCAA championship to North Carolina State on a last-second shot. Maybe it was the way Olajuwon, who this time kept his eye on the ball, looked to the referees for assurance. The tip-in was good and the Rockets can thank their lucky stars for coming away with this one. They will, however, need plenty more prayers from here out in the series if Shaq continues to gel his battering ram licenced by the men in the striped shirts.

A liver donor was found late Wednesday and once tests showed it was compatible with the 63-year-old Hall of Fainer, surgery began around 4 a m., said Jennifer Jones, a spokeswoman at Baylor University Medical Center. "He was already prepped (for surgery) so I don't think it took them veiy long to start after the liver arrived," she said. The operation was expected to last between four and six hours, Jones said. A news conference was scheduled at 9 am COT with the entire medical team expected to be present. "We should know a lot by then," she said. Mantle's liver has been deteriorating because of a small malignant tumor*, years of alcohol abuse and a long doff maut hepatitis C infection, doctors saidj They said his highly publicized bout with alcoholism contributed lo his proto Ions.

text: "In that book which is my memory, on the first page of the chapter that is the day when I first met you appear the words: Here begins a new life." Misquote from La Vita Nuova, by Dante Alighieri. "The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it." (from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam) Writing isn't my only artistic outlet, but it is my most prolific means of creative expression. I love language, the beauty of language, the beauty of speech. But my muse is mercurial and on occasion she will abandon me for days, weeks even. If I appear to run dry, to clam up, to disappear, it is merely in anticipation of her return. I love the way language tastes, the way it feels rolling over your tongue. With language I have an endless supply of toys: words. Meaningless utterance for its own sake becomes my equivalent of a Winnie the Pooh hum, my music. As others get tunes on their brain, I get words or phrases on the brain. I will awaken, for example, with a sentence on my lips. I will say it in the shower, while I wait for the kettle to boil, and as I open the morning post. Sometimes it will be with me all day. Language is a strange thing, but she is my mistress. (Stephen Fry) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The other stuff: My real name is Dave, I'm 45 and I work for the Open University.

Nice. Much better than I thought too. You dont come here for the beer and I suspect most punters wouldnt come close to a beer nerd classification. VG range of food, well priced, plenty of nibbling medium-sized dishes. Wonderful beer garden out the front was full. 8 beers on tap and a guest cider. Beers are solid, well made, although not crazy. Could be a different story in winter but an enjoyable visit.
dmarsha4 (101) , Australia | August 3, 2014| Updated August 4, 2014
Temple brewing is worth a visit if you are in the Brunswick/Carlton area but is probably not worth going out of your way for. The four beers I tried (of the five local brews + 2 guest taps) were all good without being great and the ambiance was fine but bordering on the bland. I didnt try any food but it looked and sounded ok. All in all Im glad I paid a visit but will probably hold off visiting again for a couple of years.
nate2g (1259) Boomtown!, Australia | August 11, 2012| Updated July 3, 2015
Its a sweet set-up here. The brewery can be seen through the floor to ceiling high glass. Modern fitout in the front bar with a few benches to sit at. Theres also upstairs seating which I assume is reserved for groups. Temple are brewing sound beers right now, and a tasty range available. Normally quiet in the evenings which is surprising given its location just off Lygon St. Theres a kitchen which can be seen from the bar. Menu is comfort food driven but Im yet to try the food.

Board ok's Verner Rd. survey
Relief along Verner Road may be one step closer, after county supervisors voted March 28 to authorize a detailed site survey for one stretch where residents have repeatedly had problems with flooding.
Engineer Steve Wilson recommended to the Board that the area be ringed by a levee and drained by pumps that would take water away from homes. Wilson said this kind of project could cost $150,000 to $180,000.

Craniosacral Therapy for Children
€ 20,49
Bisher € 21,49
epub eBook
Sofort lieferbar (Download)
Februar 2013
BeschreibungCraniosacral Therapy for Children introduces a craniosacral therapy treatment protocol for babies and children up to 12 years of age. A gentle hands-on healing approach, craniosacral therapy releases tensions in the body in order to relieve pain, resolve trauma, and improve physical and emotional health. Author and craniosacral therapist Daniel Agustoni discusses the reasons for treating young children and for beginning treatment during pregnancy. He explains how the stress of birth can cause asymmetries and misalignments in babies' bodies that can lead to problems later in life: from suckling problems, abdominal colic, and fragmented sleep patterns to anxiety, hyperactivity, and ADD. Agustoni demonstrates how craniosacral therapy can also offset the effects of stress, trauma, and PTSD that may affect the growing child depending on his or her environment, biology, and temperment.
Enhanced with over 120 instructional photos and illustrations, the book's hands-on techniques are presented along with suggestions for interacting with parents, babies, and young children. The book discusses methods of evaluation and treatment following structural, functional, and biodynamic models. Engaging case examples describe the therapeutic results of the treatment, which include increased security and confidence, relaxation, support for the immune system, and a sense of well-being. An important resource for healthcare practitioners, this book is also useful for educators, parents, and caregivers interested in learning new ways to help their children.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
PortraitThe founder and director of the Sphinx-Craniosacral-Institut in Basel, Switzerland, Daniel Agustoni has been practicing craniosacral therapy for sixteen years. In addition to craniosacral therapy, Agustoni has trained in classical and biodynamic massage, Myofacial Release®, conscious breathing, systemic family constellation, Gestalt therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, and treatment methods in the field of alternative medicine. With his extensive experience and education, Agustoni has developed his own approach called craniosacral_flow®, which has been designed to balance the different systems of the body and stimulate self-healing. He is the creator of the audio CD Harmonizing Your Craniosacral System: 17 Exercises for Relaxation and Self-Treatment (Findhorn Press, 2008).

Beyond 'Substantial Equivalence'
October 7, 1999By Erik Millstone, Eric Brunner and Sue Mayer
This article was originally published in Nature Vol 401, 7 October 1999
From the Introduction
Showing that a genetically modified food is chemically similar to its natural counterpart is not adequate evidence that it is safe for human consumption. Whenever official approval for the introduction of genetically modified (GM) foods has been given in Europe or the United States, regulatory committees have invoked the concept of 'substantial equivalence'. This means that if a GM food can be characterized as substantially equivalent to its 'natural' antecedent, it can be assumed to pose no new health risks and hence to be acceptable for commercial use. At first sight, the approach might seem plausible and attractively simple, but we believe that it is misguided, and should be abandoned in favour of one that includes biological, toxicological and immunological tests rather than merely chemical ones. The concept of substantial equivalence has never been properly defined; the degree of difference between a natural food and its GM alternative before its 'substance' ceases to be acceptably 'equivalent' is not defined anywhere, nor has an exact definition been agreed by legislators. It is exactly this vagueness which makes the concept useful to industry but unacceptable to the consumer. Moreover, the reliance by policymakers on the concept of substantial equivalence acts as a barrier to further research into the possible risks of eating GM foods.

Ongoing Tdap Requirement for 7th Graders:
All students entering, advancing or transferring into 7th grade need proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster immunization (called "Tdap").
This school immunization law affects all students in public and private schools.
Pertussis is a very contagious respiratory disease that can be severe and last for months. The immunity received from either early childhood immunization or pertussis disease wears off over time, leaving older students and adults susceptible again to pertussis. Immunization with Tdap can protect students, schools and communities against pertussis.
Is there a grace period/extension to get the shot AFTER school starts?
No. As of now, there is no grace period or extension. Under current law, schools do not have the option to provide a grace period. All 7th grade students need to show proof of Tdap immunization or submit an exemption before starting school.

Giovanni Trapattoni came out smiling at the PGE Arena yesterday. As did Robbie Keane.But, when you put Ireland's task today into a certain context, it's difficult not to wonder whether that was just the serenity derived from a situation where things really cannot get any worse.
On Sunday, after all, they lost the most winnable game in their Euro 2012 group. Today, Ireland play what is probably the most difficult game in their entire history. If they don't get a result, they're out.
Worse, in the last 11 years, Ireland have only beaten one team that were ranked above them in a competitive game. That was Slovakia at home in 2007, let alone the world champions and one of the greatest teams of all time.
What's more, Spain excel in exactly the kind of football that has given Trapattoni's team most of its problems: quick interchanges and exchanges through the centre.
The manager accepted that with a certain amount of understatement. "For this game, our objective is to be offensive, to try and win the game but, at the same time, we need also to find a way to help the midfield because sometimes it has suffered in this situation.
"It will be very important not to give them space, particularly in midfield. I've been thinking about the best solution for us."
But here's the thing. The best solution might already be there – or, at least, in place. Because, as much as Spain have perfected the method that generally causes Ireland such misery, the Irish are actually one of the few teams that regularly practice the only repeatedly proven way to beat Spain.
Since Jose Mourinho's Internazionale set the template against the Barcelona style in the 2009-10 Champions League semi-final, opposition teams have had most joy against Spain by sitting very, very deep, congesting all space around the box and simply looking to maximise rare opportunities. That, essentially, describes Trapattoni's Ireland. At least, then, there is hope.
So there was perhaps a little more to the knowing smiles. For one, although Trapattoni refused to name his first XI – explaining he "can't always give the opponent the advantage" – Keane effectively let slip he will play as a lone front man.
"We obviously spoke before so we know what's going on. If I do play as a lone striker, it's something different but something I enjoy too."
The expectation is that, in order to aid the midfield but not completely compromise the 4-4-2 formation Ireland have become so accustomed to, the industrious Jon Walters will replace Kevin Doyle and shuttle between midfield and Keane.
As for Spain, Trapattoni predicted they would drop Cesc Fabregas and introduce one of Fernando Torres or Fernando Llorente up front – something Vicente del Bosque refused to discuss other than calling it "an opinion".
Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, accepted the prospect of a frustrating afternoon."If they do play with two banks of four, it will be tough to find space. We will have to be patient. We are working on shooting from long distance. The first goal is key."
As a rallying call, Trapattoni ran through them again."I repeat what I sometimes say. I am proud to be the manager of the Irish players, because the Irish players have heart. We play our football. Spain is more creative but football is not only creative. It is balance and strength, with attitude. There is also luck.
"I think, also, we can win. Why not?"
Despite the exact scale of the task, that really explains the smiles.Reuse content

Online Extra: Top prep prospect signs with Kansas
By JOHN RABY
AP Sports Writer
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Top prep basketball prospect Andrew Wiggins told a small gathering of family and friends at his high school gym Tuesday that he will play at Kansas.
Then the Huntington Prep star signed his letter-of-intent and officially became a Jayhawk. No big speech. No bands, live TV coverage or props.
Just the way Wiggins wanted it.
And just like that, Lawrence, Kan., became more of a focal point for the upcoming college basketball season.
"I'm looking forward to getting there and just doing my thing," Wiggins said.
The 6-foot-8 Toronto native chose Kansas over Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State. Wiggins said there wasn't one particular selling point, taking into account each school's coaching staff, players and program.
"I just followed my heart," he said.
He'll join one of the top recruiting classes in the country.
"I really thought it was one of those long shots, at least when we first got involved," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "The more we hung around, the more we felt he liked us. There was (a) little bit of a connection."
Despite the loss of Ben McLemore to the NBA draft, four of Kansas' five recruits are considered to be in the top 50 nationally, including guards Conner Frankamp and Wayne Selden, forward Brannen Greene and center Joel Embiid.
Wiggins' parents both attended Florida State, and the Seminoles had signed his Huntington Prep teammate and fellow Toronto native, Xavier Rathan-Mayes.
Wiggins' father is former NBA first-round pick Mitchell Wiggins. His mother, Marita Payne-Wiggins, was a Canadian Olympic sprinter and silver medalist. Older brother Nick plays guard at Wichita State and another brother, Mitchell Jr., plays at NAIA school Southeastern University in Lakeland, Fla.
"Florida State was great for mom, it was great for dad," Mitchell Wiggins said. But he recalled telling his son, "it's your time. It's not 20-30 years ago. And Florida State (would have been) a great choice."
But the father said Kansas will "be a great fit. Hopefully Andrew stays humble, stays hungry. We'll see how it plays out."
Tuesday's brief ceremony ended the frenzied pursuit of Wiggins, who averaged 23.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game this season.
Rather than turn his announcement into a spectacle, Wiggins wanted a private signing ceremony where he attends classes at St. Joseph's Central Catholic High School in Huntington.
"I didn't really want to open it up to the public," he said. "I knew it would be jam packed in here. I wanted people who appreciated me and people I appreciate to be here watching me. I wanted a lot of people I knew."
Initially rated as a 2014 prospect, Wiggins shot to the top of recruiting charts when he decided last October to reclassify into his original high school class of 2013. The four major recruiting services rated Wiggins as the No. 1 overall recruit.
Interest grew in recent weeks. As one fan put told Wiggins in a Twitter post, "You're driving 4 schools and 4 fan bases absolutely insane."
Wiggins had kept quiet on his intentions. He had yet to even make a verbal commitment and delayed his signing until almost the very end — Wednesday is the deadline for recruits to sign with NCAA Division I schools.
"This is the way I like it to be done — on my own time," he said. "I've got a weight lifted off my shoulders. I can relax now."
Self said Wiggins "did exactly what we said he was going to do. He told us he was going to take his time. He was going to process everything. So him taking his time wasn't a shock. … I thought it was a classy, cool way to do it, when kids are seeking more attention these days."
Wiggins' game did the talking. He has the ability to make shots from all angles and distances, blow past defenders to the basket and reach the rim at eye level. Wiggins was the recipient of this year's Gatorade Boys National Basketball Player of the Year and Naismith Foundation national awards. He has been called the best prep prospect since LeBron James.
"I'm hearing the LeBron comparison and I saw LeBron play some high school, and I'm not sure that's a fair comparison to anyone," Self said. "But from a pure athletic ability, he (Wiggins) is one of the most pure athletes the college game has had for a while."
Wiggins participated in several postseason all-star games, most recently playing for the World Select Team at the Nike Hoop Summit April 20 in Portland, Ore.
Wiggins cited fatigue from the Oregon trip for canceling scheduled visits from Self, North Carolina coach Roy Williams and Florida State's Leonard Hamilton. Wiggins instead talked to them by phone. Kentucky coach John Calipari had visited Wiggins in Huntington on March 28.
"When he announced it, it wasn't the one I thought he would pick," said Wiggins' high school coach, Rob Fulford, who felt the player would choose Florida State. "But I wasn't surprised. All four have advantages over the others in some way."
Wiggins said he planned to relax at home and train with his brothers and some friends during the next few months. Self said he's not sure when Wiggins will arrive in Lawrence because of the possibility of Wiggins' involvement in some Canadian national teams over the summer.

The new Facelift Treatments – Surgical Vs Non-Surgical Facelift
The Three ways of Facial Growing old Facial growing older has often been linked together with the visual signals of sagging skin. For decades, the favored treatment of the sagging pores and skin is a facelift. When getting old recurred, a further facelift was carried out, etc. After a next or third facelift, the person no more seemed organic, plastic surgeon san diego and as an alternative had a "tight or pulled" look. Above the last 10 years, there's been a normal "awakening" and acknowledgment amid plastic surgeons as to how growing old seriously takes place. Getting old while in the encounter happens in three ways: initial there's a loss of excess fat or volume during the encounter; next, there may be photograph injury from the sun's harmful rays; and third, there develops an abundance of hanging surplus skin.
So what do every single of such factors glimpse like? Lack of unwanted fat or volume while in the deal with leaves a sallow, hollow or deflated visual appearance. Places most commonly impacted by fat decline are the tear trough (the groove that varieties beneath the decreased eyelid extra fat bag), the cheeks, temples, lips and higher eyelids. The next classification of aging, photograph harm is due to photo voltaic radiation. The sun's radiating rays bodily split the elastic fibers in the skin and problems the DNA of your pores and skin causing cells to grow with irregular coloration (solar spots and freckles) or simply to build pores and skin most cancers. Individuals which have used far too considerably time from the sun will manifest the sunshine harm as fantastic wrinkles close to the eyes and lips, sunshine places and freckles, and also a uninteresting leathery texture into the pores and skin. The last class of growing old, the sagging pores and skin, is seen as substantial hanging baggage underneath the eyes, eyebrows which hang so very low regarding hood the eyes, hanging jowls, and free skinned necks.
With the 1960's through the 1990's, each and every of these 3 distinctive symptoms of getting old was solved with a person course of action: the facelift. For the time, this process was sophisticated, pretty dangerous and had a 3-6 month recovery time. In more new years, a change is created to more organic rejuvenation of your deal with, which include a host of non-surgical facial strategies. Any one who has seemed into these new treatments is aware of which the alternatives appear limitless – surgical and non-surgical treatment plans, "liquid facelifts", Botox, fillers, peels, lasers, dermabrasion, mini-facelift, lunch time-facelift… the listing goes on. The large issue is, how do you end up picking?
Dr. Gilbert Lee, a major plastic facial surgeon based in San Diego, suggests that you just handle all three of the growing old components that influence the skin. "All these options permit you to take care of precise difficulties in a very way more organic and lasting way," he states. Dr. Lee endorses which you "start using the growing old issue is most apparent."
The Organic Quantity Facelift
If someone features a gaunt, sallow facial area, then fillers or "volumizers" are definitely the acceptable select me up. Do people inject fat into their encounter to appear young? Sure! In actual fact, the course of action of taking away fat from an additional region from the system and injecting it in the confront will not be just a preferred one, but additionally viewed as for being extremely purely natural. "We usually just take the extra fat from your tummy," suggests Dr. Lee. He explains that to take care of lack of body fat or quantity inside the deal with, it's best to utilize fillers or unwanted fat injections. The alternative to body fat injections are fillers like Sculptra (the "liquid facelift"), Radiesse, Juvederm and Restylane. These fillers are utilized to plump up the skin, "filling in" smaller sized sections or one creases. Sculptra Liquid Facelift is actually a synthetic injectable product identified as poly-L-lactic acid. At the time this bio-stimulator is injected underneath the floor with the pores and skin, it can help your entire body regenerate its have collagen. Sculptra is used to plump up bigger surfaces of the pores and skin, generating an general easy visual appeal without any scarring. Its outcome will final several years. Botox is actually a muscle mass relaxer and isn't a filler. Botox is most effective at managing expression traces for the reason that it relaxes the muscle mass beneath the wrinkle web site, therefore soothing or removing the wrinkle. Anything you decide on is rather substantially depending on whatever you would like to right, how long you would like your success to past, and the way considerably you might be willing to invest. A experienced plastic surgeon can manual you thru the myriad of alternatives.

The relationship with the lawyer has been filled with missed deadlines etc etc .. the complaint became the response ... The response is due today .. yesterday on a call I was told I would basically not get to review the response which was ridiculous but with about 18 hours to get a response done, I had no choice nor was I given one really.
I have no idea why he'd want to sign the response because his knowledge of the case in my opinion isnt what it should be after almost 6 months of procrastinating doing nothing ... I know it's very unusual for me not to see the response, how is the verified response sent .. I know it needs to be notarized ... how can it be sent ? How can't it be?

Overview continued Next Step Future Suggestions for Point Loma Nazarene University's Transfer Program Question and Answer session Ready? Let's dive right into it!
Why Me? NSO transfer student panel Connection with Student Development Hired to research and design Senior Honors Project
PLNU Transfer Retention Transfer students enter the University at different classifications, freshman to senior. 85% of transfers are sophomores or juniors Expected time of completion vary within the different classifications, depending on the # of units they come in with.
PLNU Transfer Retention The University began creating cohorts of transfer students, identified by entering year and classification, in the fall of 2001-2002. Currently the data is only available for four years on the first cohort year, limiting current reporting on transfer students.
PLNU Transfer Retention Preliminary Themes: Junior Transfers have a 85% graduation rate Freshman or Sophomore Transfer have a 65% graduation rate vs. Overall 6 year grad rate for First Time Freshman is 68%
Review of the Literature The fact of the matter is… Recent information on college enrollment trends indicated that higher education experienced a rapid growth of transfer students in the last decade (United States Department of Education, 2001). Significant portion of the college population attend more than one college. (Townsend, 2001) During some portion of their college careers, approximately 1/3 of college seniors have transferred (Jacobs, 2006)
Review of the Literature Transfer students are often labeled as: Not wanting to engage in the campus life of their new institution (Astin, 1982) Concerned only with their academic course requirements, being academically unprepared for the demands of four-year institutions (Keeley & House, 1993; Laanan, 1999; Townsend, 1994) Not needing assistance in their transition because they have already experienced college life on at least one other campus (Beckenstein, 1992).
Review of the Literature Why do students transfer colleges? Pursue further education Academic difficulty Dissatisfaction Lack of institutional fit Financial difficulties Career Change Crisis Relocation (Harrison & Varcol, 1984)
Review of the Literature "Transfer student hassles: Investigation and remediation" by Alice A. Mitchell and William E. Sedlacek Sample group consisted of Junior criminal justice & government students. Students were given a questionnaire that asked them questions about their concerns and about their attitudes toward their transfer process. The three highest hassles for transfer students were: (1) Determining which advisor is appropriate for particular questions (2) Receiving adequate information about sources of scholarships (3) Learning which courses will count toward requirements.
Review of the Literature The three lowest hassles reported by transfer students were: (1) Getting information about appropriate procedures for applying for graduation (2) Finding out the procedure to change one's major (3) Getting unofficial copies of one's transcript.
Review of the Literature Characteristics of Transfer Students: Aware of some institution expectations Expect some services as at prior institution When compared to freshman are more mature and understand rules Overly confident Possess a predetermined bias Come with developed interest in academics and out of class activities Developed better social skills Sense isolation and often skip orientation programs Show less enthusiasm Display false sense of security (Horne & Kreusch, 1989)
Review of the Literature Relatively well-established research in the United States has identified a range of student and institutional issues related to the transfer experience. "Transfer shock" (Carlan & Byxbe, 2000; Cjeda, 1997; Fredrickson, 1998; Glass & Harrington, 2002; Laanan, 2001; Rhine, Milligan & Nelson, 2000), "Transfer shock" has been coined to denote the lowered performance of transfer students, in comparison to pre-transfer performance (Holahan et al., 1983) Student withdrawal rates (Minear, 1998 in D.S. Peterman, 2002; Van Middlesworth, Carpenter-Davis & McCool, 2002) Student perceptions of the cultural differences between college and university (Davies & Dickmann, 1998) Institutional remedies to enhance the success of transfer students (Rhine, Milligan & Nelson, 2000)
Review of the Literature Some more important information to know about transfer students: Kelley (1982) observed that transfer students' awareness of themselves as a unique group was important in predicting transfer student expectations of academic success. Bean and Metzner (1985) suggested that administrators and faculty need to better understand transfer students on their respective college campuses. Studying transfer students upon their entry into their new institution provides an opportunity for researchers to study a group of students who are still committed to completing a college degree (Tinto, 1993) Assessing the goals, attitudes, academic behaviors, and intentions of transfer students allows for a better understanding of the college retention process for transfer students. ( Laanan, 1996)
Review of the Literature Some more important info… Volkwein, King & Terenzini (1986) note that interaction with faculty can be critical in helping to develop the cognitive skills of transfer students. (Johnson, 1987) Better understanding how this theme relates to success by using non- cognitive variables (a positive self-concept, availability of a strong support person, importance of community, long-range goals, leadership skills, and understanding how to negotiate a diverse environment) will help to gauge transfer students' talents and potential to succeed in college (Wawrzynski & Sedlacek, 2003)
Review of the Literature The final piece of literature… Wrenn (1967, in Feldman, Sedlacek, & Wright, 1977) wrote: "Transfers are freshmen in every sense of the word except for a few more years of general maturity and some additional academic content gathered elsewhere."
Gaps in the Literature Main areas the literature failed to give any insight… Critical window of engagement for transfer students Small College/University data Lack of intensive transfer student research
Gaps in the Literature Although numbers of transfer students increased over the past decade, research on transfer students has not kept pace with this growing trend. The research on transfer students has been devoted to comparing transfer students to their first-year student counterparts (Miville & Sedlacek, 1995) or to students who originated and continued enrollment at the same institution (Keeley & House, 1993; Townsend, 1994), or grouped students into minority and non- minority transfer students (Keeley & House; Laanan, 1999).

"Build a Relationship with your Advisor" 3. "Create Social, Academic, and Spiritual network of friends" 4. "Dive into PLNU's culture" 5. "Focus your time" 6. "Set Goals, and FOLLOW them" 7. "Have Fun (It's College after all!)" 8. "Be Aggressive and Proactive" 9. "Keep On Your Game" 10. "Don't be Afraid to Question"
Fall 2006 Transfer Orientation Intervention: Sophomore and Junior residents met at the Residence Director of Nease Halls', a freshman/sophomore dormitory, apartment for dinner and a debriefing about their semester before Thanksgiving break…
Quotes from Student Participants "Going into any new school half way through the year can be intimidating at first. But for me, coming from a large public university in Alabama to PLNU was a very comfortable transition. I was made to feel like I was a part of the student body and not just as a number as I did at my previous institution. I knew that I made the right decision to transfer to PLNU!" Michelle Jaimerena Fall 2006 sophomore transfer
Quotes from Student Participants "At the transfer luncheon, there were 3 people that I sat with and got to know. Of those 3 I am still really close to 2 of them. One of the girls actually became my best friend here at Point Loma and I don't think we would have ever met if it wasn't for the transfer luncheon. In addition to the luncheon, I believe the dinner that we had a week or so after NSO was also very important. It gave us a break from the hundreds of people we were meeting in the first week and then allowed us to recall those that we have seen around campus and really be able to attach a name to their faces. For the future, I think it would be a good idea to maybe do a couple more of those dinners throughout the semester and really allow time for transfers to develop a stronger relationship with other transfers in case they aren't enjoying the people they were forced to live with"Whitney Cauzza Fall 2006 Junior

Quotes from Student Participants "The Life of a Transfer Student" by Jen Lebron, Spring 2007 Jr. Transfer 1. "It was weird enough starting a brand new school as a slightly older junior; but it was even stranger to arrive halfway through the school year" 2. "I've never been to a school that pushes you so hard to be involved…with EVERYTHING!" 3. "Even though I've been here for a week, I already know that my choice to come to PLNU was a good one." * Hint: She's involved with the school newspaper!

Originally posted on NESN.com | Last updated 4/1/13
It's been a tough rookie season for Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond. Beyond dealing with the normal adjustment that comes from moving from the college ranks to the NBA (Drummond attended the University of Connecticut), the No. 9 overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft has been dealing with a back injury that kept him out of action before Sunday's matchup against the Bulls. However, Detroit appears to have packed it in on this season, so in the 19-year-old's first game back from the injury he also made his first career start, and the team plans to gradually ramp up his minutes through the rest of the season. So how did Drummond respond to the pressure of his first start? Not well, apparently. With the game tied at 78 with just over nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Drummond was fouled and sent to the line, giving Detroit a chance to take the lead. Except that everything went horribly wrong once Drummond got to the line, as he not only missed both free throws, but only one of them so much as skimmed the net. Check out the rookie's embarrassment in the video below.

Water Filtration Systems
Water filters ensure you are serving your customers clean, clear, healthy ice. Tap water is disinfected with chlorine and other chemicals, so unfiltered water can create ice that tastes bitter due to chlorine, or calcium and lime deposits. Not only can these chemicals make foul tasting ice, but it can also cause build-up and other problems for your ice machine. Water filtration systems extend the life of your ice machine, and make sure you are serving healthy ice that does not change the flavor of your sodas or signature drinks.
Our selection of water filtration systems will protect your commercial ice machine and reduce maintenance and the costs associated with it. Your ice machine will function at full capacity as you replace your filters every 6-12 months depending on usage and water condition.
Top name brands like Manitowoc, Scotsman and Hoshizaki are some of the brands we offer for all of your water filtration needs. We offer single, dual, or three stage filtration systems so you can find the one that's perfect for you based on the conditions of your water and the volume of ice you are making on a daily basis. Find all of your ice machine water filter necessities at Foodservice Superstore.

The Exposition
MCS English
When you write an exposition you are either trying to persuade someone that your point of view is correct or prove what you know about a certain topic.
Therefore, the structure you use and your choice of language is very important.
In this Prezi we will look at:
Language Choices
The purpose of writing an exposition is to provide written evidence that you can:
Research a topic
Weigh arguments
Organise your thoughts
Express these thoughts in a logical, coherent and critical manner
Reach conclusions which flows from the evidence and the arguments you put forward.
The basic structure
Example:- Who is your Favourite Character and why?
Without a doubt in my mind the most courageous, charismatic and admirable, hence favourite, character to grace the silver screen in the last fifty years is none other than Indiana "Indy" Jones.
through four breathtaking films Jones jr has amazed his affectionate fans with his wit, luck and ingenuity.
Indy remains the epitome of masculinity drawing upon the imagination of young men across the globe. He is also just a regular guy working as a professor of archaeology highlighting a relation to men with adventurous spirits. Finally, Indy plays the hero, taking down stereotypical bad guys against overwhelming odds as he saves the world from the myths of lore.
Therefore, it is easy for many people to see why so many hold this average man to be their one true favourite character.
The "body arguments" are the real guts of your essay. This is where you provide the detail of your arguments and evidence.
Normally your body will have three paragraphs. One for each of your arguments. But sometimes there may be more
Each paragraph should have 5 sentences. knowing what to put into each of these sentences is what makes essay writing easy.
Here at MCS we use the TEEEC Acronym to help us remember what to include in each sentence.
More on that soon.
Body Paragraph 1
Each body paragraph has its own argument.
Each argument must be introduced in the introduction and relate to the topic.
The body is the bulk of your essay. At least 3/4, which means this is where you get the majority of your marks.
It is also the trickiest part to get right, because there is a lot to do and many rules to follow. However, if you plan properly you will find it much easier.
Body Paragraph 2
As a young man It is difficult, to say the least, to imagine a better fantasy role model of masculinity than Indiana Jones.
You see, in today's portrayal of males in society, it is nigh impossible to find a flattering or realistic representation of a masculine man.
Consider Homer Simpson, Phil Dunphy or the Libra warrior, males are shown just about everywhere to be baffling fools
But not Indiana. Indiana fights Nazis, soviets and battles for a better world, he gives young man someone intelligent to emulate.
As a positive representation of masculinity Indiana Jones stands tall as our favourite in Hollywood films.
Body Paragraph 3
The conclusion needs the following:
Your conclusion should not include any new information that influences your overall argument
Your conclusion should provide a final, comprehensive answer to the essay topic
Indiana Jones is as iconic a character that has ever been brought forth and thrust into our psyche. He is the quintessence of masculinity, courage and heroism and a lasting reminder to young men to be proud to be male. Indiana Jones will, without a doubt, remain ours, boys, girls and everyone in-between's truly favourite character of all time.
The Introduction needs to introduce
The introduction gives us your arguments. There is no need to expand or provide evidence in the introduction.
Just order your arguments from strongest to weakest. Your body will follow this order as well.
You will need three reasons to support your opinion. Write one sentence to introduce each of your supporting reasons.
Final Sentence
What it is you are going to talk about.
The Book
The Movie
The question
Your opinion/answer
how your arguments will unfold
Finish your intro with a final sentence recapping your thesis, just to remind your audience of the topic and how you feel about it.
Structure of Introduction
The TEEEC Paragraph Structure
T - Topic Sentence (Argument)
E - Expand (More Information)
E - Example (support)
E - Explain (how)
C - Concluding sentence (Link)
Here are some Examples of paragraphs using the TEEEC structure.
A summing up statement about the text and main idea of the ideas that you have covered.
Summarise/draw together the content of the body of your essay, drawing together main points
Give a final evaluation of issues/point of view
Link back to intro using key words
Strong terminating sentence
Well there you go. That is the structure of a exposition/essay. No doubt you're going to get a bit of practice.
Now, let's have a look at language choices we can use in an exposition
The Do's and Dont's of language in an essay!
Your language must be formal
You must not use contractions
You must write in third person
I think Indiana is a good character and it's like he can do a lot of things that make us think he is really smart
Indiana is a complex character, who must overcome the challenges presented by the epic quests that he courageously undertakes for man kind.
This is very informal language. You must not write like this in an essay.
This is more formal language and more reflective of how you should write in an essay
A contraction is where you abbreviate a word by removing a letter and adding an apostrophe.
These are bad
These are good
did not
can not
they have
would not
are not
could not
it is
let us
that is
You still need to use apostrophes to show possession
Never write in the first or second person
These are bad
I think that...
In my opinion...
You can see this when...
Let us look at...
When we read about...
Try these
It could be argued that...
The character's actions show us that...
This can be seen when...
An example of this is...
An important change occurs when...
The topic sentence should let us know what the paragraph will be arguing.
By the time the audience has finished reading the topic sentence they should be aware of the point that you are discussing.
The topic sentence only introduces the argument. The focus of the paragraph. It should not be a factual statement or provide other supporting details
Which of the following is a good topic sentence?
A. Charles Dickens had a very traumatic childhood
B. Charles Dickens worked for 12 hours a day in a shoe factory
A. In the distance, the river looked like a silver thread.
B. The view from the tower was breathtaking
A. Men went to fight in the war which meant women could work in the factories for the first time.
B. The effects of war meant that many women were able to break out of gender stereotypes
Next you need to expand on from your topic sentence
Explain what you mean in greater detail and give it a more specific focus
This is where you start to provide your supporting details.
What is it that you are trying to say?
What do you mean?
Pretend you are talking to an alien. The alien doesn't have much of an idea about what goes on here on earth. You tell him your topic sentence, It's still a bit unsure what you mean. So now you spend a sentence or two explaining, in more detail what you think is important, and what you are trying to argue.
Now that you have put forward your opinion or argument, you will need to provide some evidence or an example to support these claims and show that you are right.
This is usually done by finding a relevant quote or technique from the text you are studying.
What in the text made you think this was true?
What proof do you have that shows your claim is correct?
What in the text supports your argument
Every body paragraph must have a quote
Also, your quotes need to be blended into your own writing
If you take out the quotation marks it should read properly
"ie. Like proper English"
The realism of Jones character is reflected in his fallible fear of snakes, "why'd it have to be snakes?" Along with his true grit never say die set 'em up, knock 'em down attitude that is bound to take it's toll on anyone when he exclaims "it's not the years, honey. It's the mileage."
Repeat "expand and example" when necessary. No need to stop with one when you may have more brilliant quotes. The more support for your opinion the better.
After you show your example it is usually required that you have a sentence to explain how the example helps support your thesis.
Just think of that pesky alien again. The more you explain the more they will understand.
Finally, you will provide a linking sentence, which summarises your paragraph in a sentence, linking it back to the key terms from your thesis.
Your Turn to Practise
Heading -
My Favourite Character
Thesis -
With out a doubt the most __________, ________ and _________, hence favourite, character is ______________.
Explain -
What is this character known for?
Arguments -
Link -
Therefore, it is easy to see why so many hold ____________ to be___________________.
This will happen after you have explained your argument and provided evidence.
For example you could begin your linking sentence "This shows that..."
It is a little mini conclusion for your paragraph
How to stuff up an Essay
Don't Plan
Don't answer the topic
Retell the story without a clear argument
Rush it
Don't use Paragraphs
Write paragraphs without evidence/quotes
Don't use TEEEC
Don't proof read or edit
Ignore the rules
Heroism has been defined as possessing the qualities of intrepidity, valour, prowess, gallantry, bravery, courage, daring, fortitude. Indiana Jones is defined as hero. To many these qualities are what signals the leather wearing, whip wielding academic as a man on par with the childishly fictional character of superman. Consider for instance, indy's stamina to defeat Nazis, battle soviets and take on lost Amazon tribes all in the name of history and rediscovering the unknown. Through these feats of stubborn determination Indy on more than one occasion has saved the world from the evil of bad people. The mere fact that he Indiana Jones is a true hero fighting for good with a killer soundtrack, has to rank him high on everyone's favourite character list.
What makes a character a favourite? For many people it is being able to relate to the role and seeing an underlying magnificence portrayed in the character and themselves.
Indiana Jones achieves this. He achieves this feat by being a typical man, working and living with the same troubles as regular men.
Then, as unexpectedly as a sharknado, Indiana Jones transforms into his alter ego and traverses around the planet living the lifestyle many young man dream of, Walter Mitty style.
From discovering the lost ark, to the Holy grail and even extra terrestrial probing Indiana cries out to the adventurous soul in all.
This ability to relate to his audience is a key feature why Jones Jr is our favourite character.

Infectious melodies & high energy songwriting makes menagerie an immediate favourite among Taterheads! You'll be singing along by the second verse! This is songwriting from a time when irresistible hooks were just expected, and the Taters don't disappoint!
Roots-pop: an eclectic mix of roots-rock, power-pop, country, and Americana, a sound that's been described as "Country roots-pop with the genius songwriting of 60's & 70's power-pop, …a curious mix of Mavericks, Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and Beatles" (CDBaby). Billboard Magazine calls it "American roots-rock with thoroughly modern, totally hip sensibilities". No Depression magazine describes it like this: "Think 'Beatles For Sale' if Marty Robbins were a primary influence instead of Carl Perkins." The Washington Post says the Taters "Successfully combine the best elements of Buddy Holly with the vocal harmonies of the Everly Brothers."
The Tater Brothers
When Craig Evans and Brad Tucker started singing together in the early 1980's, neither could have guessed how long that partnership would last. With "Taters PARTY", the band's 6th CD release, they continue to mine their collective experience to craft songs with unforgettable hooks and pop melodies, and to add classic tunes to their repertoire that reflect a wide range of interests and influences. Layers of acoustic and electric guitars mix with 3 and 4 part harmonies to give each song its own personality while the lead vocals and songwriting pull it all together into a very satisfying whole.
What's all this about Taters?
Writing in Billboard Magazine, the internationally published "bible" of the music industry, critic Gordon Ely described the Taters as "determinedly-and gleefully-forging a path with no limits or end in sight. This is music for which you've been waiting a long, long
