Submitted by: Julie Anne Waterfield on Oct 21, 2015Working with Kerri was great! She was very flexible with our situation (we had to wait years before the time was right for a puppy) and she kept us up to date on upcoming litters, and answered all our questions. We picked up our female in July and she has completely stolen our hearts!
Submitted by: Mike and Katerina on Sep 30, 2015Kerri Horne and Shallowford Shorthairs was a great experience. I moved to NC and did a ton of research since I did not know the area and wanted a GSP from a reputable breeder. She exceeded my expectations from day 1. From answering questions , to following up to make sure you are happy with your puppy, she does it all. I even had my heart set on one little guy and she helped me to make sure I got the pup I wanted that was best suited for me. Jax has made our family whole- Thanks Shallowford!
Submitted by: Genevieve Cardozo on Sep 14, 2015Shallowford Shorthairs Breeder Kerri Horne is top notch! We purchased Boone our GSP from her back in February of 2015. He is not only handsome, but everything we wanted in a field dog and family member.
Kerri is passionate about this breed and we knew that early on when speaking with her and after receiving the many updates on the pups leading up to their 8 week go home process. She remains very active and interested in what's happening with us and Boone and she has answered every call, text and email I've had since bringing him home. With out a doubt, I recommend Shallowford Shorthaired Pointers to any person/family looking for an amazing bird dog and family member.

Submitted by: Donny and April Papineau on Sep 12, 2015When we started searching for GSP breeders in our area, we learned about Kerri and John through their website. My husband had previously owned a GSP so he knew the traits of quality bred pups. When I contacted Kerri for information she was always honest and prompt with her responses. Once we had committed to a pup from a particular litter, we were invited to visit our new puppy when around 5 weeks of age. We thought we were set on one puppy which we had chosen based of a posted pictures. However, my husband fell in love with the biggest pup out of the litter and all it took was Kerri telling us, "He's going to be a big boy." Now we are completely in love with our big boy Ranger. After we brought him home, we realized it had been many years since we had owned a puppy and needed some tips. Kerri was always a phone call or text away for advice. Our Ranger is the sweetest most driven GSP. Everywhere I go, I'm constantly stopped for comments and questions such as, "What kind of dog is that?" "Your dog is so beautiful. Where did you get him?" We are so thankful to have met John and Kerri. They don't just breed GSP's to sale. You can feel that they love their dogs and want to make sure they go to loving homes. I highly recommend Shallowford Shorthairs!
Submitted by: Danielle Habeeb on Sep 12, 2015Shallowford pups are the best!! We received Truett 2 years ago (when he was 8 weeks old) and couldn't love him more!! I have 3 children and Truett is the best family dog. He was easy to train, is very smart, and is oh so handsome! Shallowford was great sending puppy pics the weeks prior to picking him up. They also met me halfway for pick up. We have had zero health or growth issues. He is as great as they said he would be. We love our Truett man!!
Submitted by: Deborah Rogers on Jan 17, 2014Best breeders around! When we began looking for a GSP we were very determined to find a breeder that cared about the breed and didn't run a puppy mill. We definitely found that in Shallowford Shorthairs. Our 11 month old puppy is very smart and loving. She is the perfect mix of hunting and family dog. She was born to point that is for sure! Even as a small 10 week old pup, she was pointing in the yard! She knows when its time to cuddle, and when its time to work! Not only is she very smart in the field, she is beautiful! We get complimented all the time on how pretty she is. Shallowford was able to help us with all of our hunting and puppy questions we had along the way!
Submitted by: Chris Jordan on Jan 16, 2014Our GSP, Oliver, was born in July 2011, and we were so happy to keep up with his development via Facebook and email. We were even able to visit the litter at 5 weeks to hold and play with all of the puppies before deciding on Male #4. Shallowford Shorthairs is incredibly open and responsive to owners and owners-to-be. Oliver is now over 2 1/2 years old and has become an indispensable running partner and member of our family.
Submitted by: Sara Anderson on Jan 16, 2014Words cannot express how happy my husband and I are with Shallowford Shorthairs! We did some research prior to purchasing our puppy and spoke to a few breeders. Shallowford was by far the most professional as well as the warmest and most welcoming. The dogs are exquisite and we could not be happier. We got our puppy Mowgli at 8 weeks and he is now six months and is absolutely beautiful and easily trained. He was very well socialized prior to joining our family so he loves absolutely everyone- canine or human! We also adopted a 2 year old from Shallowford named Stryker and he is just as beautiful and the perfect addition for our family! The best part is that your relationship with Shallowford doesn't stop when picking up your puppy. They are there with you for the duration of the puppy's life to answer or give advice about any questions you may have! We can't thank them enough for giving us our two perfect boys and I would HIGHLY recommend them if you're looking for a high quality GSP to add to your family!
Submitted by: Cathy Riley on Jan 16, 2014We brought home our GSP puppy in May and we are absolutely thrilled, he is everything we were looking for. Kerri is an incredible breeder and will answer any questions you may have no matter how long you have had the dog. She had all the info we needed about the breed. When we do decide to get another puppy we won't go anyplace besides Shallowford Shorthairs. We are from Long Island and Kerri met us half way with our newest family member. We love Kerri and Shallowford!
Submitted by: Lori Leya on Jan 16, 2014I have always owned Weimaraners and decided to switch to a GSP dog after losing my last Weim. After doing some research I found Shallowford Shorthairs. I would recommend this breeder to anyone I know. Luke the male that I got off them is very intelligent and even the vet has commented on his excellent personality and looks. He is quick to learn his commands and has fit right into our family and with our other dog. I would definitely use them again if I was interested in getting another GSP.

"We went for a pleasant sail aboard the 32 off Newport, Rhode Island, in a steady 15-18 knot sea breeze. The boat relished the moderate conditions and rode smoothly and powerfully through a sizable chop at the mouth of Narragansett Bay. We kept speed in the solid sixes and response at the helm was excellent, even through tacks. There was no apparent slapping on the underside of the bridge deck, and acceleration was quick and positive. In the breezy air we encountered, the behavior of the boat was top-notch." Quentin Warren for Cruising World
Knotty Cat is a single owner yacht that has been seasonally sailed in the Northeast splitting her time between the water and dry storage. She is well equipped and well maintained, and ready to cruise now. The seller is motivated and has priced the yacht in line with the market. This is great opportunity to own arguably one of the nicest PDQ Altair 32's to hit the market for some time.
Certified Professional Yacht Brokers with over 30 years experience helping clients sell and purchase quality yachts. Please call Scott Woodruff, CPYB on his mobile at (954) 701-1072 or Andrew Sheriff, CPYB on his mobile at (978) 985-7077
The PDQ 32 offers tremendous speed and sleek design, easy singlehanded sailing, enough room for two couples and the kids, and PDQ engineering that puts safety first. Built of acrylic-modified epoxy resin and vacuum-bagged for strength and structural integrity, the PDQ 32 is made for sailing anywhere in any weather - with a near absence of heeling. Quite simply, she represents the cutting edge of nautical design and high-tech craftsmanship. Featuring a unique center-cockpit layout, she is both comfortable and practical with interior space equivalent to a 40-foot monohull. Luxury is evident throughout: hand-crafted cherry wood, the best hardware and tasteful fabric selections. Two spacious owner cabins each feature double-berths with reading lights, four hanging lockers, clothing drawers and a vanity with upholstered seat. Then there's the galley, equipped with three-way refrigeration, two-burner stove, double sink, cutting boards and abundant stowage above and below the countertops. The deluxe head with shower is totally washable. The vanity sink, cherry medicine cabinet with mirror, opening port and extra storage all combine to make a bright, modern facility. In the main saloon a panoramic window affords a beautiful dinner setting for up to eight guests. Extra-large side ports open for plenty of ventilation, and the cherry wood table converts to a useful double bed. To starboard, a functional nav station, with upholstered pilot seat, is designed for the modern skipper. The PDQ 32 comes in both Classic and Long Range Cruiser (LRC) models. The Classic is designed with twin four-cycle retractable engines, self-tacking jib system, a fully-battened mainsail with single-line reefing system, Harken self-tailing winches and deck hardware. The long list of standard features on every PDQ 32 includes refrigeration, pressure water system, stove, convertible saloon table and much more. For the long-distance adventurer, the PDQ 32 LRC has everything for extended cruising: powerful twin diesel engines, high-output alternators, stainless steel bow protection and a davit package for the dinghy. But no matter which model you choose, there's a full line of useful options - from air-conditioning to radar - to enhance the remarkable PDQ 32 for you.

Interprotect 2000 epoxy barrier coat was applied by factory. Carbon fiber reinforced beam is used under the mast. Both hulls, above the water line and deck (except for hardware attachment points, which are solid fiberglass) are cored with Corecell rigid foam. All coring is vacuum-bagged to ensure 100% adhesion. Transoms have four steps molded in. The starboard transom has a stainless steel boarding ladder and hot and cold transom shower.
All bulkheads are taped to the hull using x-weave knitted fabric which allows up to 50% more strength than standard cloth. There are two watertight compartments forward. The fin keels have sacraficial sections allowing for substantial damage to keels without endangering boat.

As previously pointed out, your god is a proven myth.<quoted text>Woody, The Congress makes laws. The Catholic Church, like labor unions, or PAC or other lobby groups, including those groups who support Gay Marriage, all use their influence as much as they can to lobby Congress or State Legislators to create or make laws. What I am sensing here is your distaste for the RCC and not necessarily for God. They are not one in the same, although you certainly are trying to paint them that way!

Why do queers like to brag about their queernes? If they are so righteous and proud of that condition, then why do they insist on attacking those who consider their activities to be an abomination?

Domaine de Beaurenard Cuvee Boisrenard Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2010
Rhone Red Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
Parcels of old vines 60-100 years in age, planted in soils of great character and complexity, provide the grapes for this wine.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Contains some exotic fruit—blueberry paste, boysenberry and raspberry confiture, and pastis-soaked currant—but it's a brick house too, with Turkish coffee, bittersweet chocolate and lots of singed wood spice notes fanning out on the finish. A great spine allows the elements to echo through the finish without faltering."
International Wine Cellar - "Opaque ruby. Black raspberry and cherry on the fragrant, oak-spiced nose and in the mouth. Lush and open-knit but energetic, offering intense red and dark berry flavors and a sexy lavender pastille quality. Shows impressive power and energy on the long, floral-dominated finish. This is the most elegant and lithe bottling of Boisrenard that I can recall, but it's by no means a lightweight."
The Wine Advocate - "he outstanding 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Boisrenard offers toasty new oak, a chocolaty, sweet black cherry jamminess, black currant, licorice and graphite characteristics. While it will does not rival the great Boisrenards produced in the past, it is a top-flight wine that should drink well for 10-15 years."

Domaine de Beaurenard Winery
In 1344, it was reported to the Pope living in Avignon that "the principal vineyards are Bois Renard, Blacquieres, Bois de Senechaux, Cabrieres, Carbonnieres, Colombis, and Mont Redon." The Coulon family has farmed that area named Bois Renard since they purchased it in 1695; seven generations of dedication, meticulous care, and excellence. Adding vineyards over the past 300 years, Domaine de Beaurenard is now 74 acres of Châteauneuf du Pape in several parcels, and over 60 acres of Côtes du Rhône located primarily in Rasteau.
The Coulons have estate-bottled their wines since the early 1900's. Paul Coulon's father and grandfather were instrumental in creating the regulations of the Appellation Contrôlée system (Châteauneuf du Pape was France's first appellation contrôlée, in 1929). Detail oriented, meticulous to the point of perfectionism, visitors can peruse not only the informative Musée du Vin below their Rasteau vineyard, but detailed volumes for each vintage with ground temperatures, rainfall, hours of sunlight, etc.
Domaine de Beaurenard portfolio includes: Cotes du Rhone Rouge & Rose, Cotes du Rhone Villages Rasteau, Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge & Blanc and Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Boisrenard which is consistently one of Robert Parker and Stephen Tanzer's most highly rated Rhone wines.

About Chateauneuf-du-PapeView a map of Chateauneuf-du-Pape wineries (shah-too-NUHF due Pahp)Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s – it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the "new papal home," referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome.

Notable FactsThere are 13 allowed varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape (14 if you count Grenache Blanc separately from Grenache Noir). Grenache is the primary variety, followed by Syrah and Mourvedre as well as Cinsault. About 97% of the wines here are red, although many chateaux are producing whites ranging from quaffable to decadent and ageworthy. Reds from the best estates emit wonderful flavors of gamey spice, blackberries and currant, as well as the herbs and spices that are known to grow in the region.
Note on the soil: The grapes grow on soils covered in rounded, smooth stones called galets (gah-lay). The stones naturally cover most of the soils throughout Chateauneuf du Pape and are two fold in their duties. First, they are able to reflect and absorb the heat, to quicken the ripening of the grapes. They also help to hold in moisture so that the soils are not dried out by the hot Southern French sun.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

/// Move Over, Picasa
Q: I have a new iPad and am trying to learn how to use it. Is it possible to move any of my Picasa photos and/or my music over to this thing? A: Assuming your music is on your PC or Mac, it's easy to move it to your iPad. Just install Apple's iTunes software, and perform a sync. You can move all or some of your music. Picasa is a Google service that isn't directly supported by Apple. However, there are a number of iPad apps that will let you view photos in the Web version of Picasa and do other things. Just go to the app store and search for "Picasa." Q: Is there a product that syncs calendars over all or most products? A: Google Calendar, which can be used via a Web browser, will always be up-to-date, regardless of whether you add, delete, or change an event. You can access it in Web browsers on PCs and Macs, iPhones and iPads and, naturally, devices powered by Google's own Android operating system. If you'd rather use dedicated calendar apps instead of a Web browser, Google Calendar can also be viewed and managed via programs like Outlook on Windows, iCal on the Mac, and the built-in calendar apps on iPhone, iPad and Android. Q: We are on vacation in the U.K. with an iPhone and noticed that AT&T billed us for data charges for use of a free Wi-Fi hot spot

IMTA just won't quit on legislative goalPosted by mtrocchi on March 4, 2010
Persistence! It doesn't matter what state you're in, beneficial legislation for the boating business can be accomplished if you won't quit on it.Case in point: The Indiana Marine Trades Association reports it has made it to the "Final Four" in its long quest to change the start date of schools in the Hoosier State. The group is in its sixth year of pursuit and it looks like it won't need a seventh!
"We have never been closer to getting this done than we are today," reports Pat Casey, Casey's Cove Marina in Angola, Ind. "We've always known accomplishing this will be good for our businesses and we've just refused to give up on it."
IMTA has long advocated that going back to a school year that begins after Labor Day and ends around Memorial Day would be good for Indiana families, the boating industry, state tax coffers and much more. It points to nearby Michigan, one of the first states to pass such legislation, as the model. In fact, an IMTA delegation once traveled to the Michigan Boating Industries Association to meet with president Van Snider and study MBIA's legislative program. "Indiana Senate Bill 150 has passed 32-19," says Casey. "It's now in the House Education Committee. We anticipate it will be attached to House Bill No. 1367, that it will pass this session and Gov. Mitch Daniels will sign it."
IMTA, along with the "Save Indiana Summers" coalition, may have added its most compelling arguments this year – perhaps some model points for others pursuing a change in their state. For example:
• There are 206 "usable" school days between Labor Day and Memorial Day. Indiana requires 180 school days. That's 26 days for flexible use.
• If ˝ days of school currently on the calendar were changed to full days, 10 school days could be dropped from pre-Labor Day openings.
• Currently, the largest school districts must reduce budgets by as much as $15 million. It takes about $1 million a day to run school buses.
• Changing the school calendar costs the Indiana treasury nothing! On the contrary, increased recreational activity in August will add to the treasury.
According to Snider, the positive impact it's had in Michigan includes: An extension of family boating time and the resulting revenue for dealers and marinas; keeping student summer workers on the job longer; increased statewide tourism in August, especially in northern Michigan; and initially increased tourism tax revenues by $10 million plus.
"But there was an added benefit to our pursuit of this issue," explains Snider. "Historically, it was always hard to get small businessmen to get directly involved in legislative battles. 'That's what the trade association is for' was usually the thinking. But this post-Labor Day issue captured broad interest and got our dealers and marinas actively involved in the process. We all learned we can positively affect public policy when we take direct action."
A 2007 market data study found 76 percent of all schools open before Labor Day, some the first week of August! Since then, 11 states have reacted by moving the openings back to late August or post-Labor Day. Lawmakers in 16 other states are currently considering such legislation. If your state is one, find out how you can get directly involved.

Report: Libya Agrees to Compensate Victims of Lockerbie Bomb; Washington: Libya Remains State Supporting Terror
Libya is expected to pay almost £3 million compensation for each of the 270 victims of the Lockerbie bomb under a deal brokered by the British and American governments, reports the Sunday Times.
Last week, Washington confirmed there has been no change in its policy towards Libya, however, acknowledged talks were held with this Arab country.
With regards to the United States and Libya being close to a deal on paving the way for Libya to get off the list of states sponsoring terrorism, State department spokesman Richard Boucher has said "There has been no change in our policy towards Libya". "The United States and the UK have conducted a dialogue with Libya", but added, "It doesn't represent any kind of new initiative or shift in our relationship. Libya remains on the list of state sponsors of terrorism."
Boucher conveyed that the United States' goal was to "change Libyan behavior", "Libya must comply with its UN Security Council obligations, and it must put its terrorist past behind it. There can be no shortcuts around those obligations, and we continue to call upon Libya to fulfill it… the first condition is to comply with the UN Security Council requirements, but once they do that, then we would address other issues involved with their being on the terrorism list".
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer emphasized that "Libya knows what it needs to do and that is to follow the United Nations' policies about paying reparations to the victims of the attack at Lockerbie as well as to apologize for the attack, and that has not yet taken place".
He then made clear that any talks between Libya and the families of the Lockerbie victims was "a separate matter from de-listing Libya as a terrorist state that sponsors terrorism. That's a matter that's with the State Department and is separate…from Libya simply conforming to the actions that they are supposed to conform to in accordance with the U.N. obligations".
U.S.-Libyan Relations
The United States supported the United Nations resolution providing Libya's independence in 1951. Eventually, Libya opened a legation in Washington in 1954 and later on, both countries raised their missions to that of embassy level.
After Muammar Qadhafi's 1969 coup, U.S.-Libyan relations became increasingly tense due to what Washington considered as "Triploi's support of international terrorism and subversion against moderate Arab and African governments." In 1972, the United States withdrew its ambassador.
During the seventies, export controls on military equipment and civil aircraft were imposed, and U.S. embassy staff members were withdrawn from Tripoli after a mob set fire to the embassy in 1979.
The U.S. Government declared Libya a "state sponsor of terrorism" on December 29, 1979.
In May 1981, the U.S. Government closed the Libyan embassy in Washington and expelled its Libyan staff due to "conduct that contradicted accepted standards of diplomatic behavior."
In August 1981, two Libyan jets fired on U.S. aircraft participating in a routine exercise over international waters of the Mediterranean claimed by Libya. The U.S. planes, in response, shot down the Libyan aircraft.
In December 1981, the State Department advised all U.S. citizens in Libya to leave and in March 1982, the U.S. Government prohibited imports of Libyan crude oil into the United States and expanded the controls on U.S.-origin goods intended for export to Libya. In April 1985, all Export-Import Bank financing was prohibited.
The United States adopted additional economic sanctions against Libya in January 1986 and Libyan Government assets in the United States were frozen. When evidence of Libyan complicity was found in a Berlin bombing that killed an American serviceman, the United States launched an attack against targets near Tripoli and Benghazi in April 1986. Since then, the United States has maintained its trade and travel embargoes and has sought to bring diplomatic and economic pressure to bear against Libya.
In 1991, two Libyan intelligence agents were indicted by federal prosecutors in the U.S. and Scotland for their involvement in the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103. In January 1992, the UN Security Council approved Resolution 731 demanding that Libya surrender the suspects, cooperate with the Pan Am 103 and UTA 772 investigations, pay compensation to the victims' families, and cease all support for terrorism.
Libya's refusal to comply led to the approval of UNSC Resolution 748 on March 31, 1992, imposing sanctions designed to bring about Libyan compliance. Continued Libyan defiance led to passage of UNSC Resolution 883, a limited assets freeze and an embargo on selected oil equipment in November 1993. (Albawaba.com)

Slide It
In any other circumstance, sliding playing cards along a table might not seem like a learning activity, but this game is! Take turns sliding cards, measuring their distance from the edge using a ruler, and adding up the total to find your score. Practice makes perfect! Try sliding the cards so they just touch the edge, if you're successful you're almost guaranteed to walk away the winner.
What You Need:
- Deck of cards
- Ruler
- Table
- Paper
- Pencil
What You Do:
- Select a table to use for the game.
- Decide which player will keep score and give the scorekeeper the paper and pencil.
- Divide the deck of cards evenly among the players.
- Players take turns sliding a cards along the table. The goal is to slide the card so that it's as close as possible to the edge of the table.
- Players should use a ruler to measure how far their cards are from the edge of the table and then tell the scorekeeper their measurements. Use either centimeters or inches, but be consistent. You might even have to measure millimeters if the card get close enough to the edge. If a card falls off of the table it incurs a 20 unit (centimeters or inches) penalty, as its distance from the edge of the table cannot be easily measured.
- Play for as many rounds as you'd like.
- At the end of play, have each player add up their measurements to find their measurement total. The player with the smallest collective measurement wins the game.

The CIFs—a pair of multilateral climate finance funds designed to help developing countries pilot low-carbon, climate-resilient development—have been called a "living laboratory" for climate finance. Because they are one of the largest international climate finance funds and have been in operation for six years, other emerging funds can learn from their experiences. In particular, the Green Climate Fund (GCF)—which is expected to become the main vehicle for securing and distributing global climate finance—can benefit from the lessons coming out of the CIFs experience. We provide a few takeaways that provide lessons for the GCF.

Trip(s) of the Week: Capitol Peak!
Capitol Peak was the place to be on MLK weekend, with three parties making it up the challenging peak, including two rare and exceptionally fast midwinter single-day ascents—possibly the earliest one-day winter climbs ever done on Capitol. On Saturday the team was Stefan Griebel and brothers Charlie and Max Nuttelman, who had scouted the route to Moon Lake on December 30 and laid plans to attempt the peak on the next good weekend, hoping to do it as close to the winter solstice as possible. You know, for bonus challenge.
The three started at 12:15 a.m., anticipating a 15- to 18-hour day. With little new snow in the previous two weeks, good weather, and the benefit of their old tracks part of the way, the team raced up to Moon Lake, climbed over K2, and arrived at the Knife Edge way ahead of schedule—it was only just starting to get light! Safely across the ridge, they started up the delicate snow-covered slabs, moving very carefully without roping up. They were on top at 8:45, just 8.5 hours from the car. Descending the upper ridge with one rappel, they carefully reversed the Knife Edge and picked up their skis, returning to the car by 1:30. Charlie Nuttelman has posted an excellent TR, photos, and a video account of this great day at his blog. … Continue Reading

None of these coaches have achieved any degree of success. With each new 'regime' they better start working faster because 5 or 6 years of not just missing the playoffs but being a lower echelon team out of the race early is not acceptable.
The key here is that there's a new GM who seems to understand that you can't keep blaming coaches for everything. Mact, Quinn and Renney were all replaced by Tambellini right? Kreuger wasn't scapegoated by Mctavish, he was just not the kind of coach he wanted which is fair for a new GM. I don't think you're going to see Mctavish saying the roster is fine and the coach is letting them down, after that many coaches it would be foolish to think otherwise. Being pissed off and wanting an instant fix isn't a solution cause there is no instant fix. Got to let these new people form the team the way they want, which includes changing the way players play and that takes time and you can either accept that and show some patience or not but *****ing and moaning constantly isn't going to speed up the process.

I know what you're thinking, what's this crazy girl doing bringing us a site on barns in Ohio? Well because they are really neat barns, and it's not only barns-there are old gas stations, artistic tanks, murals, buildings, light houses, and much, much more.
The four main sections are: Ohio Bicentennial Barns, Mail Pouch Barns, Round Barns and Covered Bridges. Of the four I loved the Round Barns the best because when you think barn you don't usually include round in that thought and they were fairly interesting.
Beneath the four main sections are "Interesting Barns", and "Other Sites".
Interesting Barns – Under this title there are a lot of different options for you to view barns. Your options are: Advertising, Artistic, Design, No Category, Patriotic, Photogenic, Quilt, Religious Themes, Rock City, Roof Art & Design, Roof Dated, Smile & Face, Soft Drink and Sports. Now this is where the barns get really interesting, not to mention that they are also from all over the country.
Other Sites – Here's where all the extras are that I was talking about earlier-the tanks, murals, light houses, old gas stations and what not. I love the artistic tanks and the old gas stations sites. They rock!
So enjoy this trip across the countryside to look at barns all around America, especially Ohio, and don't forget the extras!

The Secret Meanings of Mundane Tweets
It's the first morning that some Christmas celebration will *NOT* define our family's day so in the early dawn hours I am the only one awake.
When I arrive in the kitchen to collect the coffee, the room is bathed in this remarkable blue light that shines in from the snow-covered world outside the wide window. But I am much more blown away by the smell of dark roasted coffee, brewed boldly and filling this room. It is a gorgeous smell. A melodic smell. A delicious smell.
And my first impulse is to tweet about it or craft a facebook status remarking on it, but then the part of my brain that questions EVERY impulse I ever have argues: But aren't those the kinds of banal and personal experiential tweets that some social media haters love to hate on? And the part of me with the impulse says: yes. you're right. Nevermind that tweeting impulse.
But the part of me who's in therapy asks: what's the positive intention in that impulse?
And I realize that I'm overcome by beauty and I want to share it.
And then I realized that it really wasn't a great facebook update or tweet because there are about five people who I know would love this sensual experience as much as I do and we would love, together, to sit in this smell and in this light and hold handmade coffee mugs close to our noses and whisper about whatever until the world woke up.
But then I realized that this other realization is probably good equipment to communicate more broadly. If we can recognize that positive intention in those status updates that crowd our feed, we'll have the opportunity to become more compassionate and empathic readers, listeners and humans.
All of the statuses that annoy us with their mundane-ness, should be read with the qualifier:
I was overwhelmed by this feeling (good or bad) and wanted, needed, to share it with humans who I have connected with. Because when I'm overwhelmed by feelings, I know that we can manage them better than I can.
If I could offer you one of the cups of this pot of coffee right now, I would. The wooden-wicked candle that Lynn gave me for Christmas is whispering heat and scent and the light is still blue, though turning white. It would be nice to talk. To connect.

Hi Folks,
I remember some discussion awhile back about the changed status of second parent adoptions in North Carolina. Does anyone know what the current status of this is, and what it means in real terms? I'm considering applying for two jobs in NC, but honestly won't bother if it's not possible to do a second-parent adoption.

Hi Angela! Up until Dec 2010 there were 2 counties in NC that had allowed over 200 same-sex, second parent adoptions. However, a somewhat high profile case (and disheartening story) has pretty much closed the loop hole that allowed these adoptions to happen. It seems that the only way now to give the non bio mom any rights is for the bio mom to give up their rights.
Hopefully things will change soon. It's really tough to see other states making progress and to feel like the state that I live in is taking a huge step backwards.

Thanks for the info, and I'm really sorry that you're living with that. We've been very lucky to always live in states that allow at least second-parent adoptions, if not more extensive rights. I'm sad- both of these jobs look great, but since we're planning to TTC again soon, it just doesn't make any sense for us.

It bothers me sometimes that I have to live in a place without some of the rights that other states have. Then I remind myself that it could be worse. At least at this time NC doesn't have a constitutional ban on gay marriage, although there has been talk of one. I am also fortunate to be on my DW insurance through her work and I am her beneficiary and we were able to travel to DC to get married last April (our 1yr anniversary is the 19th).
Our plan for when we have children is to to papers drawn up that gives her rights to make medical decisions and such.
My hope is that by the time we have our first child that maybe something will be done federally to allow second parent adoptions everywhere.
On a side note, I read yesterday that Arkansas just ruled it unconstitutional to not allow same-sex adoption!

BFP November 7, 2011!
aljm - I too saw the Arkansas decision. Woot-woot! Small victories are better than none.
We're in Memphis, TN, and there are no rights here. (Nashville was alot better.) In fact, DS and I both are listed on DP's insurance through her company. DS was adopted by DP before I came along. Last spring, he had an allergic reaction to something and needed a dermatologist appt. They almost refused me service because I wasn't his legal guardian, even though all three of us are listed on the insurance card. It was quite the scene! Fortunately, the doctor realized what was going on, felt embarrassed, and did see DS. I was furious, and felt so helpless. DS was crying because he was so miserable and all I could was stand there begging for them to see him. He's 6, and I've been around since he was 2, yet, I still could do nothing for him.
We're considering a move to WI or IL in the next few months for DP's job. WI is our first choice due to DP living there previously, friends, and her job. As liberal as what the state appears to be, there's still a law banning 2nd parent adoption. (1 of 4 states with such a law.) We're even considering living in IL for now to establish residency, getting the kids adopted, then moving to WI once the adoption goes through. It's sad to think about, but what else can we do?
Me (35). DP to S (39) ; Mommy to DS: J (6), Furball Pupps: L (10) & S (1) and a new little baby boy arriving on/around Dec 2.
aljm, congrats on your anniversary! We living in DC now, and really enjoy it, though it's insanely expensive. One of our considerations in looking at other jobs has been finding someplace with a lower cost of living. But, since we already live somewhere where we have so many rights, I think it would be very hard for us to give that up. It's different, of course, when you're already there. We just happened to win the geographic lottery with regard to family rights.
2ezforyou, I am so sorry you had such a frustrating experience getting care for your son. That must have been so scary. I hope that your job search and relocation takes you somewhere more family-friendly. And really, I just hope that the world gets it @#$! together so that all of us can have our families recognized and protected...

Onto the deck's features, and it's pleasing to see full DivX compatibility at this price. Files can be played from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW or DVD-R/RW and it supports all versions up to 6.0, plus Video on Demand (there's a code in the setup menu for the latter). Playback of these files is smooth and problem free, with the deck making some quite scruffily encoded files look half decent on a 42in plasma. You can also view JPEG photos on your TV and play MP3 files, but it won't accept WMA.
The setup menu reveals a couple more features you may not have expected: a choice of four picture presets that either make the image brighter (Vivid) or softer (Cool) and a choice of view modes, which make the picture fit your screen in a variety of different ways depending on the aspect ratio of the source material. On the audio side you'll find a night mode, which boosts the quiet bits and dampens the noisy bits so you can watch late night movies without waking anyone up. There's also a pointless '3D Effect' virtual surround mode from the analogue output.
There are plenty of DVD playback tricks like a three-stage zoom mode; up to 16x search speeds; 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 slow motion modes; repeat A-B; and subtitles.
As you'd expect from a player at the budget end of the market, it's easy to use. The remote is small and compact with sensibly placed (and separately coloured) menu and playback controls. You could argue that the size of the remote makes the rest of the buttons too small and fiddly, but on the whole this is a decent zapper.
The onscreen menus are charming, with a bright and breezy colour scheme, large text and a structure that's very simple to follow. DVD novices and youngsters should have absolutely no trouble installing and operating this player.
Despite its bargain basement price, the SD-280E turns in a very competent performance, producing pictures that look equally at home on a 42in plasma and a 20in LCD. We're not talking about world beating, ultra-refined images that'll have Pioneer or Denon heading for the hills - just bright, colourful and mostly noise-free pictures that should suffice for everyday DVD playback.

Dr. Helene Shugart Visits Campus: Interacts with Students, Presents for Colloquium
Dr. Helene Shugart, a Professor of Communication at the University of Utah, visited campus on January 28 for a full day of interacting with Wittenberg Communication students in a variety of platforms: anything from answering their questions about graduate school, to presenting her research as the spring colloquium speaker.
Shugart first answered students' questions and provided helpful feedback at the Grad School Lunch, available for all students interested in attending graduate school.
"The insight she offered from being on admission councils at The University of Utah really helped me to tailor my applications to their priorities and what they look for most in a prospective student," said Jess Batanian ('13), who is applying to attend graduate school this fall.
After the Grad School Lunch, Shugart answered questions about her research during a combined Senior Seminar class session.
"She actually had a conversation with us about her work and even asked for some input from the students," said Alissa Armstrong ('13). "I learned a lot from her and really enjoyed what she had to say."
Finally, the day was concluded with Shugart's colloquium presentation entitled, "The Politics of Fat: Contemporary Cultural Discourses of Obesity." This was a discussion of her recent research focusing on discourses surrounding health, specifically how obesity is articulated and engaged in a variety of public contexts.

|Newark: Where "vibrant diversity" brings us --- misery and decay
Today, Newark has a population of 277,140. Of this population, 26 percent are white. Black people make up 52 percent of the city; Hispanics are 33 percent of the city (obviously, some "whites" are classified as Hispanic too).
Since the 1967 insurrection in Newark, white people have fled the city, leaving blacks in control of the government, responsible for creating new business and sustaining some semblance of an economy.
Judging by high rates of both poverty and child poverty, none of this has happened.
Maintaining civilization is a tough task; a thin line separates order and chaos.
And Newark's fate 45 years after the black race riot (rebellion) perfectly illustrates that that thin line separating civilization and barbarism is a color line [Citizens rush council members as chaos erupts at Newark City Hall meeting, Newark Star Ledger, 11-20-12]:
A behind-the-scenes political maneuver by Newark Mayor Cory Booker to fill a vacant council seat with his choice led to a near-riot in city hall tonight, with dozens of residents rushing the council stage and police responding with pepper-spray.
After weeks of jockeying for Rep. Donald Payne's successor, Booker made an unprecedented personal appearance to cast the deciding vote with his council allies for Shanique Davis Speight, a longtime ally of power broker Stephen Adubato, over the angry objections of residents.
"In the absence of a quorum, I have an obligation to sit in," Booker said, though he was barely audible over the din. The packed city council chamber was gearing up for a showdown over the appointment as well known figures including former Mayor Sharpe James, Amiri and Amina Baraka, former Councilwoman Gayle Chaneyfield Jenkins and former Council President Donald Bradley came to back their choices.
Councilman Ras Baraka attempted to speak but was not recognized by Councilman Anibal Ramos, who was serving as acting president. Instead Ramos proceeded with the nomination of Speight. Baraka, Councilwoman Mildred Crump, and Councilman Darrin Sharif walked off the dais in protest, and Booker came in cast the decisive vote, as laid out in state statute.
They wanted freedom: 2012 Newark is the result
The move was planned by Booker's chief-of-staff, Modia Butler, to scuttle the appointment of James' son John Sharpe James, an avowed Booker opponent, in favor of Speight. Butler had the mayor at the ready in case of a tie or if there was no quorum. "We did our research. We abided by the rules and guidelines.
We didn't run afoul of anything," Butler said. After the vote, residents stood chanting "Cory's gotta go!" as officials shouted over the confusion. But when Speight was escorted by police to be sworn in, a group of residents, led by SEIU Local 617 President Rahaman Muhammad, stormed the dais and appeared to lunge toward Speight and her grade-school-age son.
Police restrained the group as they toppled a podium and residents were caught in the rush. When Muhammad would not give way, an officer doused him with pepper spray, along with residents, reporters and at least one other officer. "This truly was an out-of-body experience," said Sharif.
"The mayor, who goes all around the country to talk about democracy … literally in the back of the room, hiding in the shadows." In the confusion, Speight was ushered out of the council chamber and sworn in by City Clerk Robert Marasco. After weeks of jockeying for Payne's successor council members Sharif, Baraka, and Crump supported John Sharpe James.
Council members Carlos Gonzalez, Anibal Ramos, and Luis Quintana and Augusto Amador backed Speight. West Ward Councilman Ron Rice was the only member not present, saying he was "boycotting" the meeting.Democracy. The mob. The rabble. Subsidized entirely by the federal and state government, with virtually no productive citizens in Newark; a population living of the scraps of dwindling prosperity. And the generosity of Mark Zuckerberg.
Newark is a vivid reminder of the vibrant coalition that brought about Barack Obama's reelection in 2012 in the flesh. A microcosm of those who understand what life is like in a racial democracy and the type of civilization that is produced in the absence of white people.
Those black people who engaged in riots back in the 1960s in cities like Watts, Detroit, Rochester, and Newark set-in-motion events, when they're studied, analyzed, and scrutinized with an evil Euro-centric mindset, prove conclusively that the problem of the 20th century was the rejection; the repudiation; and the overthrow of the color line.
Barbarism is now the order of the day.
Hey -- at least Newark was murder-free back in March of 2010; the first time that brass ring was grabbed the citizens of the city in 44 years! Baby steps to civility, right?

The 53rd annual McCracken County Fair officially kicks off this year on Monday at Carson Park in Paducah. The fair will bring back some favorite events and feature new ones as well, all of which benefit local youth programs.
Various animal shows will take place during the week, exhibiting beef cattle, horses, lambs and goats and giving participants a chance for a cash prize and ribbon. 4-H exhibits will also be presented throughout the week and judged for the coveted Purple Championship Ribbon.
Harness racing takes off at 6 p.m. Monday, followed by the wiener dog races at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The Talent Show will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, the Garden Tractor Pulls start at 7 p.m. Thursday, and the Demo Derby kicks into gear on Saturday, June 28, at 7 p.m.
The motorcycle races will be replaced this year with Blues & BBQ, a night of Southern food and music. A concert will feature blues groups Lew Jetton & Highway 61 South and the Alonzo Pennington Band.
Belle City Amusement rides and concessions will take over the midway with many opportunities for discounted admission for the whole family. Monday is Family Night with $20 armbands per person and unlimited rides from 5:30 p.m. until closing. Monday is also Pepsi Night, which offers free admission to those who bring in two canned foods or one pair of gently used shoes. All food will be given to Paducah Cooperative Ministry, and the shoes will go to Kicks for Kids.
Tuesday is McDonald's Armband Night, offering $5 off a $20 armband with a McDonald's coupon. Thursday is Beacon Drag Strip Armband Night with $5 off an armband with a ticket stub from the Beacon Drag Strip. Both nights offer rides from 5:30 p.m. until closing for one price. Saturday is the Midnight Magic event from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. offering $20 armbands.
All proceeds from the fair go toward area youth programs, including the Ronald McDonald House, St. Nicholas Clinic, the Special Olympics, St. Jude Research Hospital, Kids Against Hunger, Child Watch and more. Funds are received by the Kiwanis Club of South Paducah, which invites charities to its annual Christmas Party and presents each with a check. Last year, the Kiwanis Club dedicated more than $37,000 to the programs.
Fair board chairman Denice Cicardo hopes this year will yield even better results for the programs and invites everyone to join in the cause.
"We're trying really hard to make this a community event," she said. "We want schools, kids and families all to be involved. It's really a hometown type of fair."
Contact Katie Paxton, a Paducah Sun staff writer, at 270-575-8655.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Former Chairman of White House Council of Economic Advisers Named Professor of Practice at Harvard Kennedy School
Jason Furman has been named Professor of the Practice of Economic Policy at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), it was announced today by HKS Dean Douglas Elmendorf.
Furman served as chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) from 2013 to 2017. At the time of his appointment, President Obama called Furman "one of the most brilliant economic minds of his generation." Prior to his appointment to CEA, Furman served as Deputy Director of the National Economic Council and Assistant to the President. His research and policy interests macroeconomic policy, labor markets, taxes, technology, and health policy.
"Jason Furman is one of the nation's leading policy economists, and he has played a key role in developing and analyzing economic policy in many areas for the past two decades," said Elmendorf. "We are excited that he will be joining our faculty, working with other professors and students, and helping shape the Kennedy School's teaching, research, and engagement with practitioners regarding economic policy."
Furman will be affiliated with the school's Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, which is directed by Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and former director of the National Economic Council, and co-directed by John Haigh, the school's executive dean.
"I had the great pleasure of working closely with Jason at the White House, during which time our economic team faced many difficult challenges," said Summers. "Jason brings an extraordinary combination of academic scholarship and government leadership experience to the Kennedy School, and we are proud to welcome him to the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government."
Furman held a variety of posts in public policy and research before his time in the Obama administration. He worked at both the CEA and the National Economic Council during the Clinton administration. He also worked at the World Bank and served as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. He currently serves as a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Furman earned his A.B. from Harvard College, a M.Sc. from the London School of Economics, and a Ph.D. from Harvard.
"I am happy to join the esteemed faculty at Harvard Kennedy School," said Furman. "I am excited to be returning to Harvard to teach and to engage with students, faculty, and researchers from around the world. I very much look forward to starting my work here."
Furman's appointment begins on July 1. He will continue to be affiliated with the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

If you're looking for an inexpensive desktop system, then you should take a long, hard look at the Asus Chromebox, which ships later this month. Here are four reasons you won't want to pass it up.
Let's start with the best reason first: Price. This desktop system costs a mere $179. That's without monitor, keyboard, and mouse, of course, but still, for that price, it's hard to pass up. And you won't be getting a cheapo system. It's a modern computer with enough power for its Chrome operating system.
When it comes to desktop PCs, size does matter -- and the smaller the better, because you likely want to make the most of your limited office space. The Asus Chromebook shines here. It's a mere 1.7 x 4.9 x 4.9 inches, and weighs only 1.2 pounds. At that size, you can slip it into any available space, even in back of your monitor. There's also a plastic bracket for putting it underneath your desk. In essence, it can be a zero-footprint PC.
Here's how to set up your Asus Chromebox: Plug a monitor, keyboard, and mouse into it, then turn it on. In less than 20 seconds, you'll have it up and running, unlike the far-longer bootup times of Macs and Windows machines.
The Asus Chromebox's low $179 pricetag is only a deal if it's a real value, in other words, if you're getting something worthwhile for your money. And you are -- a surprising amount. There's a 1.4GHz Celeron 2955U processor, 2GB of 1.6GHz DDR3 memory, a 16GB SSD hard disk, and 100GB of free Google Drive online storage for two years. It's also got a full complement of ports, including four USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. In addition, there's an audio jack, HDMI and and DisplayPort connectors. Its Intel HD Graphics can power a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 and can run two displays at once.

Where better to discuss the future of the education of young men than at Hampden-Sydney College, a stalwart of men's education? We are excited to bring together experts in this field to a variety of venues-both in person and in print-to share much needed information and guidance in this important area.
On July 25, Hampden-Sydney College hosted the What Works? Conference, a gathering of educators, authors, and thought leaders to discuss the issues surrounding raising boys, engaging guys, and educating young men to become productive and successful adults.
The conference followed the recent publication of individual essays in cooperation with Hampden-Sydney, "What Works." According to David Granger, Editor-In-Chief of Esquire Magazine, "This book, a collection of pieces by people on the front lines of the issue, is a place to begin." Hampden-Sydney hopes that this beginning will further the discussion by offering insight and practical advice to all who are raising boys, engaging guys, and educating men.
The conference featured talks by Dr. Michael Kimmel, author of Guyland, and Dr. Abigail Norfleet James, author of Teaching the Male Brain, How Boys Think, Feel, and Learn in School, along with Dr. Eugene Hickok '72, a panel of Hampden-Sydney alumni and faculty, and General Don Broome, President of Hargrave Military Academy.
The book is a collection of essays by these and other thought leaders. You can read it online:
Chapter 1, How Do We Encourage Boys to cooperate?
Chapter 2, What Skills Do Boys Need to Excel in School?
Chapter 3, When Teaching Boys, What Must We Accept About Them?
Chapter 4, What Can Parents Do To Encourage Boys To Learn?
Chapter 5, What Role Models Do Boys Need?
Chapter 6, What Is 'Guyland' and its Impact on Men?
Chapter 7, What Is False Masculinity and Its Negative Consequences?
Chapter 8, Why Is It So Important to Engage College Men?
Chapter 9, How Can We Ensure Young Men of Color Are Not Left Behind?
Chapter 10, How Should We Reimagine Education for Males and Females?
Chapter 11, Differences in the Way Men and Women Experience College
Chapter 12, Why Do Young Men Still Want to Learn to Be Good Fathers?
Chapter 13, The Role of Men's Studies in Improving Lives of College Men
Chapter 14, Why Single-Sex Education Is a Viable Educational Option
Epilogue: Contributing to the Blueprint
In the spirit of continuing the discussion, Hampden-Sydney College presented "What Works: A Discussion of Raising Boys, Engaging Guys, and Educating Men" at the Charlotte Country Day School in Charlotte, NC on November 17, 2014 and at The Boys Latin School of Maryland on March 31, 2015.

My Website: Ina ST Artwerks
Mayhem # 2921568
About MeTypically more of a goth kid with a flair for the punk and rockabilly scenes, I like to model fetish, costumes, whatever. As long as I can have fun while doing it. I have a full sleeve on my right arm, and a partial on my left, as well as some other work around my neck, back, and legs which is being built on.
I won't do nudes, but I don't mind doing erotic or implied nude. I like trying out new things, and am willing to drive to places (within reason) for those new things.
Modelling is in a lot of ways a tool to promote myself as an artist, I am an oil painter and illustrator by trade, and also work on SFX make-up. I graduated from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Illustration, and my portfolio can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ina.artworks
But! If there's something you need involving gruesome wounds or other crazy skin-textures, I can probably create my own makeup and latex pieces for it with a bit of notice, or if you need an SFX artist on set, I'll happily accept the job there too.
So, hey, yeah! I just look forward to having a good time and meeting interesting and talented people who I can possibly work with. Cheers!

This digitally-colorized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted the dorsal (upper) surface of a Giardia protozoan that had been isolated from a rat's intestine. Some of the identifying morphologic characteristics include pairs of thread-like flagella that facilitate motility, and a ventolateral flange that appears as a "ruffle" around the anterior portion of the organism. Pairs of flagella seen here include an anterior, posterior-lateral, and caudal pairs.
The protozoan Giardia causes the diarrheal disease called giardiasis. Giardia species exist as free-swimming (by means of flagella) trophozoites, and as egg-shaped cysts. It is the cystic stage, which facilitates the survival of these organisms under harsh environmental conditions. The cyst is considered the infective form, and disease is often transmitted by drinking contaminated water. As depicted in these SEMs, in the intestine, cysts are stimulated to liberate trophozoites. Cysts can be shed in fecal material, and can, thereafter, remain viable for several months in appropriate environmental conditions. Cysts can also be transferred directly from person-to-person, as a result of poor hygiene.

Arsenal's foreboding February fixture list has been made all the more tougher by their depleted midfield options, although Mikel Arteta remains confident of staying on the right track.
The north Londoners could be usurped at the top of the Barclays Premier League on Wednesday evening after being held to a 2-2 draw at Southampton.
As if the inability to keep up the pressure on Manchester City and Chelsea was not frustrating enough, Arsene Wenger's midfield options narrowed at St Mary's after Mathieu Flamini incurred a four-match ban for a straight red card.
The Frenchman is joined on the sidelines by Aaron Ramsey, who Wenger revealed suffered a setback in his recovery from injury on Monday, and potentially Jack Wilshere, depending on his recovery from an ankle problem.
It is hardly the ideal scenario for the title challengers but Arteta, himself only just back from a calf injury, has vowed that the team will fight through.
"That happens and we have to deal with it," the Spaniard said.
"The schedule is really busy now - we have some really tough games coming up in the next two weeks and we have to deal with it and do our best.
"We had many options but that is one problem that we have had in the last few weeks: we have had a lot of injuries, losing Theo Walcott for a long time, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is just coming back, too many.
"Tomas Rosicky as well was out for a couple of weeks with his nose so we are a bit short at the moment but hopefully we can get people back.
"We can't do anything [about other teams] - it doesn't depend on us. There is a long way to go.
"Everyone is going to drop points and some will do so here at Southampton because it is a very tough place to come. Hopefully we will be fine."

1/7 Aaron Ramsey
Out for six weeks after aggravating a thigh injury in training
2/7 Jack Wilshere
The 22 year-old is unlikely to recover from an ankle problem in time to face Crystal Palace on Sunday
3/7 Mikel Arteta
Has only just returned from a calf injury and struggled to impose himself at Southampton
4/7 Abou Diaby
Dogged by injury problems during his time at Arsenal and damage to his cruciate knee ligaments means he is unlikely to play this season
5/7 Mathieu Flamini
Will miss three games after his red card at Southampton including crucial ties against Liverpool and Manchester United
6/7 Tomas Rosicky
May have to wear a protective mask as he recovers from a broken nose
7/7 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Could be deployed in central midfield but is not fully match-fit after a five month absence due to a knee injury

The Chicano Latino Affairs Council and the Humanities Center will build on the grant received last year, which was intended to identify the elements of success in programs for Latino high school students and ways to replicate them. Applying the findings of CLAC's and Hispanic Advocacy and Community Empowerment through Research's (HACER) research, CLAC and the Humanities Center will pilot the program in two Minnesota schools.
The Chicano Latino Affairs Council, in partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center and HACER, leveraged its unique role in addressing the education challenges and opportunities faced by Latino students by highlighting how assets of Latino cultures and languages contribute to closing the gap. The central theme and core value guiding the research was "culture and language matter," – culture and language are assets and not liabilities.
