The study of human society can be traced back from its foundation during the time of the Greeks. During those times, philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle started to show interest with the nature of the human society. In later years, several philosophers also contributed in the field of Social Sciences such as St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Hobbies, Niccolo Machiavelli and Confuciu...

Helpful Resource for Teaching and Learning Styles
Many students are struggling in the classroom with the concentration, and it just might have to do with the teaching styles conflicting with learning styles. In my classroom, I used testing and creative practices to help a child that was struggling with attention and memory. One thing all educators know, if you want to get through and help a child, we must be creative and figure out their learning styles.

How to Teach Numbers to Very Young Kids
Teaching numbers to very young kids could be very confusing and difficult especially to those who still do not understand how numbers work. As a teacher, you should use different visual aids so as to aid the kids to grasp the lesson better. Real objects, flash cards, DVD's, videos and charts are very helpful in the process of teaching.

Online Universities V Traditional Universites
Online universities have been give a bad reputation. Many believe students that attend online universities do not receive the quality of education that students of traditional universities do. These students receive the same quality and amount of learning that traditional students do. Online students are responsible for teaching themselves mostly. Students of online universities must be self starters.

Audio-lingual Habit Versus Cognitive-code Learning in Language Acquisition
As an ESL teacher, what's your definition of language? The way you define language reflects how you teach it. This article will help beginning ESL teachers to learn the importance of using the audio-lingual method and cognitive-code learning method correctly in teaching English as a second language in China. Many ESL teachers in China may think that the "repeat after me" method is the best way to learn English but it's not the case.

Returning To Study
In this article we look at returning to study after spending some time away in our working lives. In many situation people think it is almost a n impossible task and cannot be genuine with themselves. Often it will take a good friend to realize this.Once a person enrolls they will find that confidence takes over. There is a fear of failure that will be present and in some regard this is what keeps a student on the straight and narrow live to success.

K-12 Education in the Philippines: Views and Points of Filipino Teachers and Critics
If truth be told, the Philippines is far behind from its neighboring countries when it comes to proficiency in major subjects like math and science as shown in its performance during international assessments. More likely because it is the only country which has no more than 10 years of basic education, the span may fall short to prepare students to qualify for tertiary level. In response, the Aquino administration spearheaded the K+12 then eventually changed to K-12 scheme to be applied t...

Folklorists: Academics Who Study Folklore
Folklorists study the interactions between lore and the people who use it, between the heroes or villains and the people who love or hate them. They do work in public settings, such as within arts councils and radio stations, documenting arts, crafts, music and more. They also work in private organizations and use artifacts to document traditional customs and superstitions.

What's a working, unique coupon?
To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.
To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.
Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons!
Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid,
you earnings will be deleted
. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.

2-10-12 Fontana report
Awarded by, 02-11-2012 at 07:29 AM (702 Views)
2-10-12 Fontana Took a day to find some new fish that can be caught with downlines similar to the way we striper fish, have some inexperienced fishermen coming and don't want to troll all day, so the spots will be a good change of pace if the eyes shut down. Went downlake and found good numbers of fish around Panther Creek area. Took a cruise that way last week and didn't find much, but this time didn't go past point 7. Just look at the pics of the spots on the lowrance, they were like that in several places. Points and indentions on either side of the points with chunk rock and larger boulders all held fish. Sparkle jig still rules. Tried sinking crankbaits, a-rig flukes, spoons, and the jig still caught most fish. Bite still real subtle, can't wait for them to start smacking crankbaits. Never fished much til after 1 and ended with 25 or so, mostly spots and some smallies. Dress warm, but it was pretty nice out there. Later, Capt. James

It's cold season, so everyone tries various lotions and potions to either prevent the common cold or, at least, to reduce the course of the disease. Alternative medicine's favorite disease to treat is the common cold, mainly because it's an easy disease with not too many consequences. Also, it's very subjective, since the patient has a difficult time making an accurate determination of the length and severity of the attack. Confirmation bias is usually the reason one hears that something works for the cold. They forget all the times it doesn't. Or completely misjudge the actual effects of any treatment.

LeRoy neurological illness mystery–update 3–is it conversion disorder?
Since I last wrote about the group of individuals suffering from some neurological issues in LeRoy, NY (outside of Rochester), very little new information has come to light. The junk science purveyors, such as the Age of Autism, is still trying to insinuate that vaccines have something to do with the "outbreak", although they provide not one tiny bit of evidence supporting such a belief.
A few individuals still claim it is PANDAS, or Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections, but I am highly skeptical of physicians who self-promote their ideas outside of the standard peer-review process, and that a lot of reviews of the research into PANDAS has come out negative. As I've mentioned before, a recent review of research in PANDAS came to this conclusion: "Despite continued research in the field, the relationship between GAS and specific neuropsychiatric disorders (PANDAS) remains elusive. It is possible that GAS infection may be but one of the many stressors that can exacerbate tic/Tourette's or OCD in a subset of such patients." If there's not even agreement that PANDAS exists, then a self-serving promotor of this particular diagnosis should be met with a high level of skepticism. Even researchers who accept PANDAS as a legitimate diagnosis, such as Susan Swedo of the NIMH, are skeptical of such a diagnosis. Continue reading "LeRoy neurological illness mystery–update 3–is it conversion disorder?"
Seven states mulling legislation to skip mandatory immunizations
In a report in Vaccine NewsDaily, seven states mulling legislation to skip mandatory immunizations, which would allow parents a "philosophical exemption" to mandatory vaccinations. In other words, this legislation would allow parents who listen to the anti-vaccination lunatics to refuse vaccines that prevent harm to their children, but worse yet harm to others who may not be immune to these infections.

Prospect Trends — Week Ending 5/20
In a week when the Pirates narrowly missed being no-hit, and when their offensive ineptitude increasingly began to look like it might reach historic levels, it's ironic that Indianapolis managed to be even more inept, getting shut out four straight times, and five times in six games going back to the previous week. Worst of all, the Pirates' top upper-level hitting prospects either slumped badly (Starling Marte and Robbie Grossman) or continued hitting at a mediocre level (Tony Sanchez). Aside from the Indians' offensive offensiveness, especially good or bad performances were difficult to find over the past week, so this edition will be a little light.

About Me****WELCOME*****
A good snapshot stops a moment from running away. A photograph is a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art. My canon is my paint brush.
I have been working in the corporate world for quite some time now. While I love business, I find photography very refreshing and have started to shoot more! By taking photos I can use my creative side and make people smile too.
I am passionate about photography and love meeting new people. I am still open to TFP if it's a really special project or a model that will add something really different to my portfolio. My rates are really reasonable, please ask.
I am interested in the following (but not limited to):
-Glamour and fashion
-Head shots
-Event photography (Grand openings, anniversary parties, engagement parties, birthdays, grad/prom)
-Engagement photos
-Family/Children/Individual portraits
Most of my work is centered around Glamour/Fashion/Beauty. I am most passionate about this type of photography.
Please ensure to book in advance to ensure availability of make up artists/wardrobing/other needs.
***Some benefits to working with me:
1. I worked in the cosmetics industry for 6 years, so I can also do makeup. If we don't have a make-up artist available I will bring my kit.
2. I have a large array of outfits for many themed shoots. We can come up with something unique every time.
3. I like to have fun. I will always try my hardest to come up with a quality end product that you are satisfied with. We will probably have a few laughs and chuckles in the process.
Talk to you soon!

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Marek's disease (MD) is a disease of chickens caused by a herpesvirus. Many tissues are affected, but the progression of the disease in the brain has not been well studied. The brain is important because MD infection can cause temporary nervous symptoms known as transient paralysis. The present study describes the progression of the disease and infection in the brain at different times after infection. Viral antigens and DNA were detected. Two types of lesions were seen, an early inflammatory type and a later proliferative type. Each lesion type was composed of different classes of cells. Cell antigens associated with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) increased or decreased during infection, depending on the antigen type. These findings provide needed information on the development of MD lesions in the brain and suggest new ways for diagnosis and control of the disease.
Technical Abstract: Marek s disease virus (MDV) infection in the brain was chronologically studied after inoculating 3 week-old chickens of two genetic lines with two strains of serotype 1 MDV representing two pathotypes (v and vv+). Viral replication in the brain was strongly associated with the development of lesions. Three viral antigens (pp38, gB and meq) were detected in the brain of infected birds. Marked differences between v and vv+ pathotypes of MDV were identified for level of virus replication, time course of brain lesions and expression of major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) antigens. Two lesion types (inflammatory and proliferative) occurred in the brain of birds inoculated with vv+MDV but only inflammatory lesions were observed in birds inoculated with vMDV. Inflammatory lesions, mainly composed by macrophages, T cell CD4+ and T cell CD8+, started at 6-10 dpi and were transient. Proliferative lesions, characterized by severe infiltrates of T cells CD4+CD8- (blast), started at 19-26 dpi and persisted. Expression of Mhc antigens in endothelial cells and infiltrating cells within the brain was influenced by MDV infection. Up-regulation of Mhc-II occurred in all treatment groups. Mhc-I was down-regulated only in those groups inoculated with vv+MDV.

Airline assigned a brand rating of AA+
CALGARY, March 6, 2014 /CNW/ - WestJet announced today that Brand Finance, one of the world's leading brand valuation consultancies, has ranked WestJet 74th among the top 100 Canadian brands with a valuation of $586 million USD as of January 1, 2014. The valuation is noteworthy considering WestJet's enterprise value ̶ the combined market value of the equity and debt of a business less cash and cash equivalents ̶ is pegged at just under $2.8 billion USD.
"We are a top Canadian brand because we have focused on earning the support and loyalty of Canadians for over 18 years now," said Bob Cummings, WestJet Executive Vice-President, Sales, Marketing and Guest Experience. "WestJet has been recognized as a top Canadian brand several times from a consumer brand equity perspective. This valuation of our brand is a reflection of all of the key brand attributes that are important to us. Our brand DNA is built on friendly, caring and fun WestJetters in combination with the tremendous value we deliver to our guests in the form of safe and affordable air travel and vacation packages. Furthermore, our brand relevance and value to business travellers continues to increase."
Brand Finance calculates brand value by determining the royalties a corporation would have to pay to license its brand if it did not own it. Similar to a credit rating, brands are also assigned a rating from AAA+ to D according to strength, risk and potential of a brand relative to its competitors. Brand Finance is a London, England-based brand valuation consultancy, with offices in over 15 countries. More information is available at brandfinance.com and brandirectory.com.

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

Target: Alvin Brown, Mayor of Jacksonville
Goal: Thank Jacksonville, Florida for working to end pet homelessness
After achieving no kill status last year, Jacksonville, Florida has decided to push its animal welfare policies even further in an attempt to end pet homelessness. This would be a first for the nation and a huge step for animal welfare. An entire city ensuring that every animal has a safe and caring home is perhaps the greatest achievement in animal welfare, and for its dedication the city of Jacksonville deserves our praise.
In November 2012, Jacksonville achieved an incredible no kill rate of 92 percent. The baseline for reaching "no kill status" is 90 percent, which essentially means that no animals had to be euthanized except those who were too ill, injured, or old to survive. The city hasn't stopped there either. Jacksonville hopes to maintain permanent no kill status, which would result in an end to pet homelessness. Ending pet homelessness doesn't mean that no more animals become homeless. What it means is that every time an animal arrives at the shelter it will be guaranteed a home. The city is doing this by continuing to raise awareness of adoption and spay/neuter through education, adoption events, and outreach programs with the help of larger organizations across the country.
It is truly a remarkable achievement. Few cities have been able to reach no kill status at all and none have successfully ended pet homelessness permanently. Doing so would be a powerful influence for other cities across the country by showing them not only that it is possible, but how to go about doing it. Please take a moment to sign the petition below and thank Jacksonville, Florida for all of the amazing work it has already done for animals and also for the progress it continues to make toward ending pet homelessness.
Dear Mayor Brown,
In 2012 Jacksonville officially reached no kill status, meaning that all of its shelters successfully adopted out all of the animals that came into the shelter who were capable of being adopted. This is an incredible achievement in itself, but you have taken it a step further by seeking to end pet homelessness and ensuring that every animal who arrives at a shelter will find a loving home from now on.
Thank you so much for all of the work your city has done and continues to do to protect its animals. You are truly an inspiration and I hope that cities across the country take notice of what Jacksonville is doing.
[Your Name Here]

WRAPUP 2-Nissan, Suzuki slash forecasts as auto gloom deepens
* Nissan, Suzuki profits punished by strong yen
* GM/Chrysler merger on hold as govt aid hopes fade-sources
* Nissan retracts dividend target as Q2 op profit halves
* Japan auto shares fall before results, Renault sinks (Adds details, market comment, Renault share moves)
By Chang-Ran Kim, Asia autos correspondent
TOKYO, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor (7201.T: Cotización) and Suzuki Motor (7269.T: Cotización) capped a turbulent week for automakers everywhere with their own profit warnings on Friday, as executives predicted a rough ride for the foreseeable future.
On top of an economic slowdown around the world and a credit crisis that is shutting many consumers out of auto-loan financing, Japanese automakers are battling a stronger yen, which shaves the value of earnings made abroad.
"I have no idea how long this situation will last," Suzuki CEO Osamu Suzuki told a news conference. "The crisis in the United States will probably ripple through the rest of the world like a tsunami, sooner or later."
Efforts by U.S. automakers Chrysler and General Motors Corp (GM.N: Cotización) to forge a merger to help them ride out the crisis hit a snag after the Bush administration ruled out funding the plan, sources told Reuters late on Thursday. [ID:nN30307369] Continuación...

SUNSET BEACH—Town council has approved a resolution authorizing an appropriation for bike and walk paths.
The vote came at council's monthly meeting Monday night as a result of council's Feb. 16 planning retreat, where members "indicated a willingness to pay for the engineering design and surveying of the approved" bike plan, according to a summary prepared by town administrator Gary Parker.
CAROLINA SHORES—A town commissioner says the board needs to decide what Mayor Stephen Selby's responsibilities are.
Town commissioner Tom Puls, speaking at a pre-agenda workshop Monday, said he does not think personnel should be "any part" of Selby's responsibilities.
In their professional capacities, law enforcement officers deal with convicted felons on a regular basis. In their personal lives, many law enforcement agencies prohibit officers from associating with convicted felons.
Former Brunswick County Sheriff Ronald Hewett, a convicted felon, has thrown his full support behind Tim Daniels, a sergeant with the N.C. State Highway Patrol and sheriff's candidate.
"Yes, we support Tim Daniels," Hewett wrote in a Feb. 25 e-mail to the Beacon.
For a man who cannot cast his ballot in the upcoming election, former sheriff Ronald Hewett has been politically active.
Hewett, who served as Brunswick County's sheriff for 14 years before he resigned in April 2008, pleaded guilty to federal obstruction of justice in June 2008.
When Hewett was convicted, he lost his right to vote, Gary Bartlett, director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections, said.
But that hasn't stopped Hewett from actively campaigning on behalf of candidates he supports for office.
She was a petite lady with silver hair sitting in one of the chairs by the counter. I was standing looking at all the lipsticks, blushes and eye shadows scattered on top of the glass counter. I had decided to spend my lunch hour at the Belk cosmetics counter and was deliberating between the blue and gray eyeliners.
She was waiting for me to wrap up my purchase so she could be helped.
"I'm sorry I'm taking so long," I told her. "I just don't have any idea what I want."
When friends took time out of their lives to be with me on my wedding day last fall, I couldn't say thank you enough.
I thanked them in person that day. I thanked them again when I saw them at work. I think I even thanked them via Facebook and/or e-mail.
I planned to send them each a handwritten thank-you note. I was raised well. I know the value of that.
I know I'm supposed to send thank-you cards. I want to send them. As a matter of fact, I have a collection of occasion-perfect thank-you cards in my office at home.
How did casseroles get to be so popular? Although it seems they've been around forever, casseroles didn't really attract attention until condensed, canned soups came on the market in the '50s. The casserole was an American staple during the Depression, when families needed cheap, filling meals to put on the table.
Do we only make casseroles because they are convenient? Is there really any reason to make a casserole?
BOLIVIA--The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program at Brunswick Community College has been acknowledged by the North Carolina Board of Nursing, and it received its fully approved status last month.

Blues 2 Brighton 2
A stoppage time equaliser from substitute Nikola Zigic earned Blues a valuable point against promotion-chasing Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
Steven Caldwell headed his side into an early lead, but slack defending allowed Brighton to hit back with two preventable goals. The visitors looked to be on their way to claiming all three points before Zigic struck with a 92nd minute header.
Lee Clark made three changes to his starting line-up. Colin Doyle, Ravel Morrison and Marlon King were all dropped to the subs' bench, with Jack Butland, Rob Hall and Callum Reilly returning to the first XI.
On a freezing day at St. Andrew's Blues started the game on the front foot and were doing their best to prevent their visitors playing their normal passing game.
The first opportunity fell to the home side when they were awarded a free-kick just 25 yards out, but Hall saw his curling effort deflected behind for a corner.
Minutes later Chris Burke cut inside his marker Wayne Bridge and sent a shot a couple of yards wide of the far post.
With 18 minutes played Blues found themselves in the lead thanks to Steven Caldwell. Hall sent a perfect corner deep into the Brighton box, where Caldwell rose superbly to nod home a bullet header past Tomas Kuszczak.
But the advantage lasted just six minutes, before Brighton hit back with an equaliser.
Andrea Orlandi's pass found Ashley Barnes free on the edge of the Blues box. The striker took a touch before drilling a low shot straight into the corner of the net, leaving Butland with no chance.
Although the goal appeared to have given the impetus to Brighton, Blues were still looking to push on and Reilly was not too far away with a speculative effort from 20 yards out.
Blues came close to regaining the lead on 40 minutes via Burke. With the winger's shot heading for the top corner of the net Kuszczak pulled off a stunning save to tip the ball over for a corner.
But almost immediately Blues found themselves right back in trouble as David Lopez made it 2-1 on 43 minutes.
Bridge was given time on the left to put a deep cross towards the far post where Lopez ghosted in and fired a fierce volley past Butland.
Half-time: Blues 1 Brighton 2
Clark looked to bolster his forward options in the second half as he sent striker Nikola Zigic on in place of Wade Elliott.
The Serb's introduction immediately started to cause problems for the Brighton defence.
Zigic played Hall in with a header, but Kuszczak rushed out and punched the ball off his foot with the Blues man looking odds-on to score.
Orlandi then went close to extending his side's lead just before the hour mark, but his goalbound effort was deflected over the bar by a Blues defender. From the resultant corner Craig Mackail-Smith was inches away from meeting the ball just a yard out.
Brighton continued to pile on the pressure and Butland was forced to dive at full length to deny Orlandi's powerfully hit free kick.
With 70 minutes on the clock both managers elected to make a change. Clark replaced Redmond with leading scorer Marlon King and Gus Poyet sent on Will Buckley for goalscorer Lopez.
Blues were desperately trying to find a way back into the game but with them unable to penetrate a well-marshalled Brighton defence they were largely forced into trying speculative shots from distance.
That was until deep into stoppage time when Marlon King's cross found strike partner Zigic. Kuszczak looked to have the ball covered but somehow fumbled it into the back of the net. 2-2.
But the game certainly wasn't over as moments later Butland was forced to pull off a world class save to deny former Blues man Gary Dicker.

Crystal Rusaw MySpace
New Port Richey, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - Crystal Rusaw, a 24-year-old New Port Richey woman was jailed Saturday after she allegedly left her 3 small children at home alone to have sex with a neighbor.
The children (ages 10 months, 3 and 4) were later found crossing a busy highway without any supervision.
The children (ages 10 months, 3 and 4) were later found crossing a busy highway without any supervision.
According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, an investigation was launched when a witness spotted the children crossing a four-lane road around 5:00 a.m. The oldest child was carrying the youngest child across the road. The baby was wearing only a urine-soaked diaper.Deputies tracked down the mother of the children, identified as Rusaw and questioned her about her whereabouts and why the children were left unattended.
The witness pulled the children out of the road and called 911.
The witness pulled the children out of the road and called 911.
Rusaw stated that she had left her children at home alone so she could go have sex with a neighbor. She went on to say that she "accidentally" fell asleep. Police estimated that the children were alone for about 4 hours, in a residence where there are 32 registered sex offenders within a mile radius.
Rusaw's boyfriend stated that he had been out of town for the week and didn't know about the incident until he returned (instant karma).
Rusaw was booked into jail and charged with child neglect. She was released after posting bond. The children are now in the care of relatives.

Couple Questions!
Hi, I am the owner of a white GS. We have the puppy since it was almost 4 weeks old and is gonna be 10 weeks on Tuesday. The breeders didn't take very good care of the animals and we reported after we rescued it. Now for my questions. The dogs only got fed once a day, had fleas and worms.
1. House Breaking.
This isn't my first dog but it is my first GS. But he seems to have his good moments. We haven't had a single day that he hasn't had an accident in the house. I work 9 hour days and my gf works 8 hours. When we are work he is at either one of our houses so he doesn't have to be crated all the time. I have been trying really hard to house break him as soon as possible. I take him outside after he takes a big drink, wakes up from a nap, goes to the door, 5 minutes after eating unless its a big meal, and after playing. He will go potty outside when I tell him to do it, so he has learned that aspect so far. But for some reason he will have really bad days when he won't go outside for at all and then once he comes inside he goes right away. He will have accidents without any warning even while we are playing he will stop and just go.
I am the only one following this method and the others will let him out after he eats. I am not 100% on how often they do.
How can I get him to stop having those bad days and so many accidents when I try and take him outside every hour or 2.
2. Crating
I am a firm believer that they shouldn't be crated at all. My pitt is allowed to roam my apartment and sleep where ever she wants. She is fully house broken and once my GS house broken he will be the same way. Now the only time I have him in his kennel is when we are sleeping over night, I am in the shower, going to work until (but he is out of his kennel within 2 hours because someone comes to get him if I don't drop him at my gf parents.), or when I am taking my other dog outside. Now my issue is at night even when he is sleeping I will pick him up and put him inside his kennel after we go potty. He will start to bark and whine insanely loud and it will usually continue for 10ish minutes. I try to just ignore it but his kennel is right next to my bed and it gets really annoying. So I will yell stop, no, or just tell him he is fine.
How can I get him to realize his kennel is purely for sleeping and isn't any sort of punishment? Around 8 weeks he was doing fine with it but when I went out of town for a week I think maybe they used it for punishment and maybe he is afraid of it now. I don't know.
Thank you.

We're starting to get back into gear after this past weekend's Fear Fest 2, but don't think we were just slacking off. While working hard to please horror fans, we here at DC discovered that we had the first posters for the sequel to Joy Ride!
Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead's poster showed up in one of our boxes of giveaways and we noticed something different. The straight-to-video sequel looks to have changed its name ("">Want More Joy Rides? You Know You Do!" – November 2007), but at least we know Rusty Nail is still going to be our villain. Odd though that none of the cast or even the director get mentioned on the promo…
Anyway, the sequel is set to star Nick Zano, Mark Gibbon, Nicki Aycox, Kyle Schmid, Laura Jordan,and Aisling Walsh with Louis Morneau in the director's chair. While I didn't know much about the plot to this #2, STYD was kind enough to provide this detailed synopsis:
"While driving across the country on their way to Las Vegas, two couples are forced to "borrow" a car from an apparently abandoned ranch house when their own vehicle breaks down in rural Utah. Little do they know that the car they took actually belonged to Rusty Nail, the cold, calculating killer who plays vicious and cruel games with his victims, often pursuing them in his ominous, black 18-wheeler truck. After one of their friends is kidnapped by the murderous trucker, the remaining travelers are forced into Rusty's violent realm to play his sinister cat-and-mouse games in an attempt to rescue their friend and stop the killer before it is too late."

Existing Home Sales Continue to be Lifeless: Sales Down 12.9% Year over Year, and Prices 5%
Speaking of real estate, as we are about to enter the seasonally strongest period of the year (where the housing bulls will chirp about the imminent recovery as they do every year) but the data suggests more of the same. Existing home sales are far more important than new home sales, as they make up 90%+ of the transactions and the data this morning for April in a word stunk. As always, one should compare real estate YEAR over YEAR rather than MONTH over MONTH - something that trips up the housing bulls who always get excited the past few years in May, June, July (when housing data ALWAYS turns up). On those measures sales were down 12.9%, and median prices 5%.
To be fair, I believe the last gasps of the desperate government's home credits were offered a year ago, so you have a distorted figure from last year to a degree. On the other hand, home affordability is even better this year, which is a plus.
Bottom line we are years upon years from an organic recovery. Indeed, 7M+ home owners are living 'rent free' not making a mortgage payment and we have YEARS just to clear out that situation. (we're not even addressing shadow inventory) I read just last week that the average NY / NJ foreclosure process is now in excess of 900 days as banks are overwhelmed and/or are happy to lie about what is on their balance sheet since the US accounting board said mark to myth is an accepted GAAP practice as of March 2009. Hence someone strategically defaulting today in those states won't be out of the house until Christmas 2014. (process that for a moment) Repeat that across the nation - indeed rinse, wash, and repeat it. Which means we'll be well into the next cyclical recession and still have millions underwater (28% of all homes and rising), strategically defaulting, and the like. The only question is what QE we will be on by then. I say QE5.
A nice graph via Calculated Risk blog showing how 5M in monthly sales compares to the past 15 years - keep in mind, the US population has grown substantially over that time. This with near record low mortgage rates, and record affordability.
Via AP
- Sales of previously occupied homes fell 0.8 percent in April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.05 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. That's far below the 6 million homes a year that economists say represents a healthy market. Sales were down 12.9 percent year over year.
- Purchases made by first-time homebuyers increased to make up 36 percent of sales. That's still below the 40 percent that the trade group says is consistent with better markets. Sales to investors dropped slightly to account for about 20 percent of the market.
- The median sales price.. down 5 percent from the same month one year ago, to $163,700.
- Sales of homes at risk of foreclosure fell in April and made up 37 percent of all purchases. Foreclosure sales declined only because a large number of those homes are backlogged in the courts.
- A separate survey from the trade group found 11 percent of Realtors said a contract was canceled because an appraisal came in below the negotiated price. And 14 percent said a contract was renegotiated to a lower price because of a low appraisal.
- There's a glut of unsold homes on the market but few buyers are biting. In April, the supply of homes rose to nearly 3.9 million. At last month's sales pace, it would take more than 9 months to clear those homes. Analysts say a healthy supply can be cleared in six months.
- The increase in unsold inventory should continue to weigh on prices, said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak + Co.
- The situation is much worse when taking into account the shadow inventory of homes, economists say. These are homes that are in the early stages of the foreclosure process but, because of backlogged courts or the government probes, have not hit the market for re-sale.
- CoreLogic Inc. in March estimated about 1.8 million homes were delinquent or in foreclosure, a so-called "shadow inventory" set to add to the unsold supply of existing houses already on the market.
And here comes the next wave....
- The Mortgage Bankers Association said Monday that about 8.3 percent of homeowners missed at least one mortgage payment in the January-March quarter when adjusted for seasonal factors. That's up 0.7 percent from the previous quarter.

Japan's exports of alcoholic beverages in 2012 rose 8.5 percent from the previous year to a record ¥20.6 billion, according to National Tax Agency data.
The surge came partly because exports of beer and sake grew for a third consecutive year. Exports came to ¥8.9 billion for sake, ¥4.4 billion for beer and ¥2.4 billion for whisky, which rose for the seventh consecutive year although its share is relatively small compared to sake and beer.
In volume, exports stood at 14.13 million liters for sake, 38.37 million liters for beer and 1.92 million liters for whisky.
By country and region, exports to the United States were the biggest at ¥4.6 billion, followed by South Korea at ¥3.5 billion and Hong Kong at ¥2.5 billion, the data said.
Sake exports started to rise markedly in 2000.
"The presence of the Japanese rice wine has grown in the U.S. and European markets as Japanese food culture is increasingly introduced in English," a sake brewery official said.
While the Japanese market remains slow, sake breweries are aiming to boost exports further since demand for high-priced products is expanding overseas.
Beer exports had been declining after peaking in 1998. In recent years, however, exports to South Korea and Taiwan have been surging. In 2012, South Korea-bound exports topped ¥2.2 billion, versus the 2010 level of slightly below ¥1 billion.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - Marist men's lacrosse (2-2, 0-0 MAAC) hosts Towson (3-2, 0-0 CAA) on Friday, Mar. 7. Face-off is set for 7 p.m. at Tenney Stadium. Admission is free and open to the public.
Both teams are heading into Friday's game with the momemtum of a win on their backs. Marist downed Big East powerhouse Marquette 16-12, while Towson is coming off a commanding victory over Mount St. Mary's 9-1 and have proven to be tough opponents for Marist. Last year's matchup ended in a 10-9 overtime victory for the Red Foxes as they narrowly escaped with the win scoring with only one second left in overtime.
Last Time Out: Marist defeated Big East foe, Marquette, 16-12 in its 2014 home opener. Marist was led by Sophomore Joseph Radin (Long Beach, N.Y) who finished the game with a career-high six goals and one assist, giving him a career-high seven points. Freshman J.D. Recor (Lancaster, N.Y.) had a career high five assists and also had two goals to earn the rookie his first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) player of the week honor. Juniors Mike Begley (Brookeville, Md.) and Colin Joka (Conshohocken, Pa.) posted two goals and one assist each. Junior Drew Nesmith (Montclair, N.J.) netted two goals for Marist as well. Dave Scarcello (Buffalo, N.Y.) had a great game in goal for Marist with a career high 14 saves, while Sophomore Dominic Montemurro (Kings Park, N.Y.) won 17 of the 30 face-offs he took on the day.
Scouting the Tigers: Towson looks to capitalize on its strong performance against Mount St. Mary's as they face Marist on Friday night. Towson gave up the fewest goals in school history only allowing one goal, and not allowing a goal until the fourth period. Towson's two goalies each had double figure saves with Chris Klaiber leading the way with 18 and Tyler White tallying 10 saves.
Last Meeting: Marist will look to protect its home field against a Towson team hoping to redeem a tough overtime loss last season. Marist won on a last second overtime goal by Jack Doherty, who finished with four goals on the day. Familiar faces, Radin and Scarcello, look to use their experience against the Tigers in the upcoming matchup Friday night. Radin tallied a goal and assist as a freshman last year and Scarcello finished with 12 saves including two in the overtime period.
Following this matchup, Marist kicks off conference play at against preseason number one, Siena. The game is slated to begin at 1 p.m. in Loudonville, N.Y.

The buzz about Superstar Rajinikanth's next film 'Rana' has been supported with an additional piece of interesting news in that the actor will start regular shooting for the film 'Kochadaivaan'. The title of the film is based on the name of the Lord Shiva and the film is to be directed by his daughter Soundarya Rajnikanth.
'Koshadaivaan' is a completely a new project and is scheduled for release in August 2012. The director Soundarya Rajnikanth has stated that this film is not made to revive 'Rana', but it is entirely a new and innovative project.
'Kochadaivaan' will be shot with a completely new system called the Motion Capturing Technique. Renowned Hollywood director Steven Spielberg has used the same technique when making his latest sensation, 'The Adventures of Tintin' recently.
The other cast and crew of the film is yet to be finalized, but buzz is that Anushka Shetty may bag the role of leading lady for this 3D computer graphics entertainer.

Drake Relays Hall of Fame Class of 2012 Inducted In Evening Ceremony
DES MOINES, Iowa--Four new members joined the Drake Relays Hall of Fame on Thursday evening in a ceremony held at Sheslow Auditorium on the Drake University campus. The class of 2012 features four individuals who have made a tremendous impact on "America's Athletic Classic" through their accomplishments as coaches or competitors.
Victor Thomas, head track and field coach at Lincoln University in Missouri, whose athletes have won 39 Drake Relays titles since 1996, and Joey Haines, former head track and field coach at Southeast Missouri State joined the Coaches Hall of Fame. Former Eastern Michigan standout Tommy Asinga (uh-SING-guh) and former NCAA champion and Iowa State star Edith Nakiyingi (naw-kee-ENG-gee) were inducted into the Athletes Hall of Fame.
Thomas and Haines are the 80th and 81st inductees into the Drake Relays Coaches Hall of Fame, which was established in 1977 with charter members John L. Griffith (Drake), Harry Gill (Illinois), Tom E. Jones (Wisconsin), Clyde Littlefield (Texas), Leo Johnson (Illinois) and Bill Easton (Drake & Kansas).
Thomas has coached his women's team to 10 NCAA Division II National Championships, four indoor and six outdoor. His team's first title came in 2003 at the outdoor national championships, where his athletes won seven events, one short of the record for first-place finishes at the Division II level. He went on to coach his team to five consecutive outdoor national championships (2003-07), and won the outdoor title again in 2009.
"I feel great and I appreciate Brian and the committee that nominated me and got me here," Thomas said. "I feel good to know we have won enough relays to be recognized here. It's an outstanding feeling for me. This is something that will never change in the next 100 years. The fans here (are special), the atmosphere when you win, and they get interviewed and they're on TV. You get that flag and run around the track as everybody cheers. They just cheer them as winners, not that they're from Lincoln, they just cheer them and congratulate them. The fans are very important at the Drake Relays."
More than 40 student-athletes have won national championships under Thomas' tutelage. He also has coached 14 relay national champions and more than 150 All-Americans. Thomas has been the head coach of the Jamaican Junior Pan American Games National Team, the C.A.C Games National Team and has been on the senior Pan American Games team coaching staff as a hurdles coach.
Thomas also tutored three Olympic athletes during his coaching career, including 1992 Olympian Ralston Wright, Veronica Findley (1984 and '88) and Mitchell Francis (1994). Thomas also has shared his expertise with 1995 and '97 World University Games hurdler Patrina Allen.
Haines was the head track and field coach at Southeast Missouri State from 1982 until his retirement following the 2008 season. His teams dominated the college division of the Drake Relays throughout the 1980s, as he coached his team to 11 Drake Relays event titles in that span.
"You can't imagine what a great day this is for me," said Haines. "I also want to congratulate the other inductees. It's an honor to be inducted with you guys. My first Drake Relays was in 1969 and it was also my first airplane flight."
Haines led Southeast Missouri State to the 1985 NCAA Division II National Championship, while his men's and women's teams claimed 18 NCAA Division II top-four finishes in both indoor and outdoor track and field. He coached 23 individual NCAA National Champions and was named NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year in 1985.
Among the Drake Relays victories by Southeast Missouri State athletes under Haines are the University/College 4x100 men's discus in 2004; college men's 4x800 relay, 1986; college men's 4x200 relay, 1983 and '84; college men's distance medley relay, 1986; college men's sprint medley relay, 1983 and '84; college men's 4x100 relay, 1982 and '84 and college men's 4x400 relay 1984 and 1990.
Asinga was a familiar name over the Drake Relays public address system in the early 1990s as one of the nation's top collegiate middle-distance runners. He ran the anchor leg to lead his relay team to three consecutive Drake Relays university division titles in the 4x800 relay from 1992-94 (6th in 1991).
"I couldn't believe it," Asinga said about hearing news of his induction. "Even though I came here and I had a really great time here, I didn't realize how great of an impact I had while I was here. After the races how the fans reacted, especially the victory lap, for me that was probably the greatest thing of all because I ran in many competitions. Even at the NCAAs I won the 4x800 and was second one year, but they just usher you off the track. Here at Drake they give you the time and no one really rushes you. The fans are just excellent. For us athletes it means so much just recognizing that."
Asinga also ran the anchor leg in leading Eastern Michigan to university division sprint medley relay titles in 1993 and '94. As a sophomore, he won the Drake Relays special invitational 800 in 1992. Asinga is a five-time All-American at Eastern Michigan and competed in the 1988, '92 and '96 Summer Olympics, representing Suriname.
Nakiyingi entered her first Drake Relays 800 meters as a freshman in 1988 and set the event record with a time of 2:03.18. She continued her Relays success by winning the university/college division 800 in 1989 and '91, and claiming the women's invitational 800 in 1990.
"It is something that was unexpected," Nakiyingi said of her choice for the Hall of Fame. "I was very surprised, and at the same time very happy for being recognized for what I had done here. My first race (at Drake), I was just a freshman, and I won that race for the record of the Drake Relays. I'm very happy to be here again."
In 1992 Nakiyingi was named the Big Eight Conference Female Athlete of the Year. She is a two-time NCAA champion in the 800-meter run and earned All-America honors seven times while competing for Iowa State (three indoor, four outdoor). Nakiyingi is a member of the Iowa State women's track and field Hall of Fame.

With some of Newcastle top targets seeming to be out of reach this summer, the club may have to turn to some of our secondary targets, and one of them seems to be Colombian forward Victor Ibarbo.
Victor Ibarbo in Columbia colors – a skillful forward
Ibarbo is a forward who seems quite versatile, and he can play up front, on the wing or even in central midfield, and he's looked a decent player in the World Cup finals for Columbia.
He started the first two games, but hasn't seen any action in the last two games as Columbia advanced to the quarter finals with a good 2-0 win over Uruguay, with goals from James, one of them maybe being the goal of the tournament so far, and he could be the young star of the World Cup.
Ibarbo plays for Cagliari and they will allow their 24-year-old striker/winger leave this summer, and the transfer fee doesn't seem too bad – at £8M – although maybe that's a little inflated.
Victor is well-built at 6′ 2¨, and his size and physical prowess could be a (big) plus in the Premier League, and he could be a good signing for the club.
The 24 year-old was born in Tumaco, Colombia and he has 10 full caps for Columbia and one goal, and he started his career at Colombian club Atletico Nacional, before he joined Cagliari in July of 2011 for just under £1M.
While at Cagliari he has played 111 times for the Serie A club with 13 goals and 11 assists, and he has not been a top goalscorer in Italy, and last season he hit four goals with three assists in 30 Serie A games.
Barcelona, Stuttgart, Juventus and Napoli are all reported to be interested in signing him, so if that's really true, it may be difficult to get the player to St. James' Park.
But Newcastle will need to ensure we can get players in this summer, and if we cannot get our top targets through the door then we'll have to move down the list and Victor Ibarbo looks like a very decent player with lots of skill.
Comments welcome.
A Sportsman evening Rob Lee and Don Goodman will take place on Friday evening, July 11th at Hedworth Hall, so if you would like to attend this exciting event here is the information.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
My Liver is normal, in my kidney they found a cyst.It was appoximately 7 cm segment of circumferential colonic was thickening and adjacent mild inflamatory fat stranding involving the sigmoid colon.
Thanks for the details. I would say that there are many possibilities which can give such ascites like ovarian disease or any malignancy, infection or inflammatory disorders of the intestines & pancreas, liver disease, kidney problems. In your case as very important evident finding is inflammation in large intestine.The inflammation in large intestine can be seen in infection, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease, early malignant changes, panniculitis & others like that. I will highly advise now to take a referal to see gastroenterologist for complete evaluation. There is a need to repeat colonoscopy, stool culture test, ascitic fluid analysis & culture, ESR, c-reactive protein, blood urea. Also important to investigate any kidney disease because of a cyst on kidney as a finding in scan because kidney disease can also give such pain & pelvic ascites.Take probiotics in diet & make sure to see your physician for examination & referal to a gastroenterologist soon as possible. Let me know if you have any further question. Best wishes.
Do accept the answer in this way I will be rewarded for my work and time here for you. Positive feedback & bonuses will be appreciated.
Best of luck and keep in touch

What are the important differences between telling a story as a novel or staging it as a play?
1.Telling a story has no acting.
2.There is no narrator in a story
3.No actors in story
I disagree.
I have read plenty of novels that have narrators and plays that do not.
There are always characters and actions in good stories, whether they take the form of a novel or a play.
You should probably take two sheets of paper, one with NOVEL at the top and one with PLAY at the top. Then list the characteristics of each.
There will be ideas in each of these that will help you:
I did but all I was able to come up with is
Novels: very discriptive, mental image, long
Play: leaves out a couple of details, visual images, and not as long but still long

After years of beauty blogging, I've forgotten what Nicole Richie is famous for other than being the ultimate cool girl when it comes to hair and makeup. I mean, who else can pull off the stuff she does? Allow me to present the two latest examples.
Do you agree that Nicole Richie has supernatural beauty powers that allow her to pull off basically any hair and makeup look? Can you think of another celeb who is this way?
