WWU 19th on EPA green energy list of top higher ed purchasers of renewable power
Western Washington University is again on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's list of the nation's top 20 green energy purchasers in higher education.
Western, which is 19th on the EPA list, annually offsets 100 percent of its electrical consumption from green sources via purchases of renewable energy credits.
Western was the only college or university in the State of Washington on the recently released EPA list.
The genesis for Western's renewable energy program began more than eight years ago when a small group of Western students set a goal of having Western offset all of its electrical energy from a 100-percent renewable source. To meet that goal they proposed a student initiative to implement a fee that would offset the cost of purchasing renewable energy.
As a result of their efforts and significant research into renewable energy, Western moved to the forefront of the renewable energy field, becoming the first university in the country to implement a student fee for the purchase of green energy.
The student initiative passed in a spring 2004 election with 84.7 percent approval. The WWU Board of Trustees approved the student fee, which went into effect in 2005 and which allows the university to offset all of its electricity use with purchases from renewable energy sources.
In spring 2010, the WWU student body voted overwhelmingly – more than 80 percent in favor – to renew the Green Energy Fee. In addition to funding the purchase of the renewable energy credits from the Endeavor Wind Farm in Iowa, the new fee on students also finances projects devoted to piloting measures in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and greenhouse-gas and solid waste reduction on WWU's campus, as well as allowing for the creation of permanent and student staff who will be tasked with working with student and faculty for development of projects.
Western's Green Energy Fee Committee has announced that it will fund eight campus projects.
WWU began on the EPA list several years ago at No. 1 and is now is at No. 19 due to increases in green power purchases at colleges and universities nationally.
The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary EPA program that seeks to increase the use of green power among leading U.S. organizations. Green power is defined by the partnership as electricity products that are partially or entirely generated from environmentally preferable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, and low-impact biomass and hydro resources. For more information see EPA's website on the Top 20 College and University Partners list.

Combat sambo and boxing is a good foundation for mma.but if you were put on your back with a guy in your guard what would you do?if he went for an armbar would you know how to defend it?or if you were on top would you know how to submit the guy?
I'm not saying this to deter you at all but the majority of amatuer fights end up on the ground where a good bjj game is paramount!
I'd join a gym with a good reputation that trains in mma where you can develop your ground game and compliment your stand up game.
I had done kickboxing before and went through the same process and now my ground game is up to speed. Hope this helps mate
Twitter @ricbrad
In amateur he is probably going to try get on top of you so just drill the crap out of sweeps and escapes from guard side control and mount its really up to you what you do but if you have a decent boxing back ground id go straight to semi pro so you can at least play to your strengths. Before you do this though just ask yourself if you are confident in your technique if you are then just get yourself to the point where you feel fit enough for war and try get a fair match up and if possible against someone with weak wrestling. Getting a fair match up is half the battle.
If he goes straight to semi pro the guys are gonna be even more brutal on the ground.i wouldn't even think of competing at all till uv worked on ur ground game.
Twitter @ricbrad
You do quite alot of grappling in sambo, fighting from top position and bottom but would i be better of training in bjj as well?
Yes mate.bjj is a must really
Twitter @ricbrad
sambo would help though lol
It would mate but u need to know submissions,transitions,sweeps etc.the more u do the better ul become

There are several food items referred to as fondant: • The gooey center of a chocolate candy • The smooth rolled-out icing for cakes • Poured icing over petit fours and cookies • Poured icing on cookies Most of the time when we refer to "fondant" on the show, we're talking about the roll-out icing used to decorate cakes. It can be homemade, but homemade fondant is not as durable ready-to-use rolled fondant you buy. It has a higher moisture content so it is softer and not as firm to use for molded decorations like flowers. We determined the cost of our from-scratch recipe to compare with purchased rolled fondant. The raw ingredients cost $.16 per ounce versus $.27 per ounce for some ready-to-use. Remember your time is also a cost factor.

Feel the beat
By Frenche Brewer, email@example.com, 803-777-3691
A-one and a-two- and a-three!
The Southern Exposure New Music Series, the University of South Carolina's School of Music's award-winning concert program opens its 12th season with a bang.
The concert is set to begin at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 28 in the School of Music recital hall. The program is free.
The concert features an all-star lineup of some of today's most accomplished and exciting young percussionists highlighting the vast range of today's percussion music, from virtuosic show-stoppers to intimate soundscapes to modernist masterpieces.
Special guests for the opening concert series include the Meehan/Perkins Duo, called "superb young players" by The New Yorker, performing Steve Reich's classic "Nagoya Marimbas" and John Supko's "Straights," for two marimbas, wood blocks and clay flower pots.
Experimental whizzes Tim Feeney and Nick Hennies will join USC's Greg Stuart in performing Austrian composer Peter Ablinger's "Regenstück" (Rain Pieces).
USC's Percussion Ensemble will also be featured, playing Ivan Trevino's lyrical marimba quartet, "Bloom."
Scott Herring, director of the percussion ensemble said, "The USC Percussion Ensemble has had the distinct pleasure of performing on the Southern Exposure New Music Series in the past and it is always an exciting event. The capacity crowds are always electrified by these concerts and the all-star percussion concert will be no different."
A centerpiece of the concert will be Atlanta-based Stuart Gerber's performance of Karlheinz Stockhausen's masterpiece, "Heaven's Door," a piece written for him. This musical/theatrical piece involves the use of a specially-made, paneled wooden door that stands more than 9 feet tall.
Percussion is commonly referred to as "the backbone" of a musical ensemble. In almost every style of music, percussion plays a pivotal role. From marching bands to pipe and drums to jazz, when you find yourself tapping your feet to the beat, swaying from side to side or snapping your fingers, you're responding to the heartbeat of a music ensemble -- the percussion.
The series, known for quality and innovative programming, has acquired a loyal and enthusiastic audience over the years, drawing fans from North and South Carolina and Georgia. It was launched in 2001 by USC composer John Fitz Rogers, who last year passed the baton to new director Michael Harley.
"Fans of Southern Exposure can expect more of the same high-quality, cutting edge shows that are the series' trademark. I want the series to reflect the incredible diversity that is a hallmark -- probably the hallmark -- of contemporary classical music," Harley said.
Fans can also look forward to a new initiative, Artist Exposure, featuring a local visual artist and his work displayed during selected concerts throughout the year.
"Our goal is to make meaningful connections between visual arts and music, as well as support Columbia's burgeoning local arts scene," Harley said.
The first Columbia artist to be featured in Artist Exposure is metal sculptor Michael Pope.
"While patrons will find their ears and minds stretched with works that push the boundaries of what we might be used to hearing in a concert hall, there is also plenty of music that anyone can just sit back and luxuriate in," Harley said.

Everyone is going to have at least one of their family lines come to an abrupt halt because of an illegitimate birth, Mark Herber in his book "Ancestral Trails" gives a figure of 2% of all birth in the early 18th century were illegitimate. However all is not lost because such an event can lead to a paper trail generated by officials as they attempt to locate the father and have him pay towards the upkeep of the child rather than the mother & child be supported from the poor rate. All of this creates documents that can be of great help in researching your family history.
Children whose parents weren't married were referred to in parish papers in a number of way; illegitimate, base born, bastard, natural born. Sometimes in christening registers the father is named, but often only the mother's name is given. Depending on the cleric concerned a note in the margin may make some comment about the mother and the circumstances of the birth. These comments are often of a vitriolic nature!
Once an unmarried woman was discovered to be pregnant a train of events was started. Firstly the parish officials or Justices would convene and the mother would be required to declare who the father was, if the named man denied the accusation he might bring forward witnesses to bear out his declaration that he wasn't the father. These documents are know as examinations and many of them are verbatim accounts of what was said.
They make fascinating reading along the lines of Martha Smith declares that after the harvest supper on 30 September she and John Brown went together behind Farmer Jones' barn where they had carnal knowledge. John Brown denies this and brings forth witnesses who state that he was with them at the Pig & Whistle public house in the next village for the whole evening and didn't return home until 6am the next morning.
Once the father was established there was several options, the first and much preferred by the officials was that the couple should marry as soon as possible so that the child was legitimate at birth and supported by the father. A lump sum payment may be made that would cover the cost of the birth and upkeep of the child or a regular payment was ordered to be made to cover all costs. If the payment was made voluntarily then there will, sadly, be no paperwork left for us to find, it is only those fathers who had to be coerced into taking responsibility that leave documentation behind.
There were sometimes expenses involved in tracking down errant fathers and bringing them before the parish officials to make them pay for their offspring. In the case of my 3rd great grandfather, Joseph Jennings, he was somewhat reluctant to take responsibility for "begetting Jane Jennings with child", he left the parish, his whereabouts were discovered sometime after the birth of Henry his illegitimate son so two churchwardens were dispatched to find him and once found they purchased a marriage licence and brought Joseph back to Faringdon. He was "persuaded" by the parish officials to marry Jane. Joseph & Jane went on to have a further seven children and Joseph didn't disappear from the town again so it could be said that the system worked. The expenses incurred by the officials in finding Joseph and the cost of the marriage licence are all recorded in the Churchwarden Accounts.
All of these documents, where they have survived, will be housed in the Record Office or Archives of the county in which the birth took place. Some will be in the parish papers others in quarter session records. A number of Family History Societies have transcribed records which may included Bastardy Bond, Examinations & Churchwarden Accounts. These may be offered as a search service or for sale in DVD form.
Ancestry.co.uk have Bastardy Orders for Warwickshire 1816 – 1839 and Dorset 1821 – 1853. As they complete partnership agreements with other county archives there may be more of these types of documents made available online.
The LDS Church has a comprehensive collection of filmed copies of parish papers & Quarter Session Records which might contain examinations and/or bastardy bonds & churchwarden accounts. These films can be viewed for a small fee at Family History Centres worldwide. More information about what is available can be found at www.familysearch.org and clicking on the catalogue tab.
Films can be ordered online and you will be informed when they have arrived at your local FHC. An increasing number of records are available for browsing online at the FamilySearch website so check first to see if they are online before ordering.
Several documents may be generated in the search to find the father of an illegitimate child so that maintenance payments may be obtained.
Examination – The interviewing of the mother to be to ascertain who the father is and either his acceptance of paternity or his rebuttal of the accusation. Witnesses may be presented to support either sides case.
Bond – The setting out in writing, sometimes in longhand, sometimes on a pre-printed form with just the names added, of the payment order made against the father.
Churchwarden Accounts – Out of pocket expenses incurred by parish officials in finding errant fathers and also expenses incurred in supporting illegitimate children whose fathers have absconded.
|Act enabled JP's to examine the circumstances of an illegitimate birth in an attempt to discover who the father was and to order him to pay maintenance
|Mothers of illegitimate children could be sent to the House of Correction for up to 1 year
|Act passed requiring women pregnant with an illegitimate child to declare to the authorities that she was carrying a child and who the father was. This act also prohibited the sending back to their home parish a pregnant unmarried woman.
|An illegitimate child's parish of settlement was the same as its mother's, not that of its father's. The mother could not be moved back to her parish of settlement until at least a month after the birth.
|17th – 18th century
|Mothers could also be whipped for having an illegitimate child

ROCK HILL, S.C.-Brevard College cornerback Jacob McCleery has been named the South Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office Monday.
McCleery, a sophomore from Columbia, South Carolina, helped lead a dominant Brevard defense in Saturday's 35-7 win over Mars Hill. The 28-point margin of victory marked BC's largest in a SAC game since joining the conference in 2008. With the Tornados leading 7-0 early in the 3rd quarter, McCleery returned an interception 74 yards for a touchdown – the first of four-unanswered touchdowns for BC in the second half.
McCleery also finished the game with six tackles, and now has 23 tackles and a pair of interceptions on the season.
Newberry quarterback W.T. Murden and Lenoir-Rhyne punt returner Michael Green were the other SAC honorees this week.

Glenn Beck way off on same-sex marriage numbers
On his June 28 radio show, nationally syndicated [1] Clear Channel radio host Glenn Beck [2] stated that "same-sex marriages in Massachusetts really have kind of fallen off ... now they marry in Massachusetts about nine people a month." Beck wondered aloud if this was because gay people "don't wanna get married" or "because there wasn't this pent up demand" or "because the population is not ten percent gay."
In fact, as USA Today reported [3] on June 16, an estimated 1,700 same-sex couples applied for marriage licenses in Massachusetts on May 17, 2004 (the first day it was legal to do so). USA Today also reported that "the number of couples seeking licenses has dropped significantly in the past month" -- but not nearly to the extent that Beck claimed.
As an example of the drop-off, USA Today quoted Northampton city clerk Wendy Mazza, whose office had issued 113 licenses on May 17 and a total of 196 licenses as of June 15: "We average nine or 10 a week now." That's an average of between 36 couples and 40 couples per month, in Northampton, Massachusetts (population: 28,979 [4]) alone, not, as Beck claimed, "about nine people per month in Massachusetts" (population: 6,427,801 [5]).
USA Today went on to note that "Provincetown, a longtime vacation destination for gay couples, received 172 marriage applications the first day. By Thursday [June 10], the number reached 402, compared with 30 licenses issued all last year to heterosexual couples."
From the June 28 edition of The Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: I found an interesting article, this is a couple of weeks ago, I left it on my desk I gotta throw it away here, I just wanna,-- same-sex marriages in Massachusetts really have kind of fallen off, and you gotta ask yourself, "How come?" The same thing happened in Canada -- there was this big rush to get same-sex marriages in Canada, they're practically not even issuing marriage licenses anymore, and you'd have to ask, "Why?" Now they're finding this in Massachusetts, remember it was a huge, there was a pent up, everybody's like, "We've gotta get married, we have to be able to get..." and people were lined up on the streets, they were lined up everywhere, now they marry in Massachusetts about nine people a month.
What's up with that? How come there's not more? Is that possibly because the pent up demand to be married -- I mean I know gay people and the gay people I know say the same thing, "I don't wanna get married." Is it because there wasn't this pent up demand? Is it because the population is not ten percent gay? What is the, what's the reason behind that? Interesting side note, kind of a rhetorical question I thought I'd throw out.

FOX Sports Daybreak: Charles Davis
Andy and Mike caught up with FOX College Football Host, Charles Davis this morning. Charles talked about Johnny Manziel's decision to go Pro, and also brings up a surprise team in the Johnny Football draft sweepstakes.
Charles Davis: "You know who absolutely, positively, before this is ver in my humble opinion, and he may never say it publicly... But I think is going to crave Johnny Manziel?
Jerry Jones...
Because you talk about that star on the side of the helmet, you're talking about a Texas kid playing in Texas, you're talking about a kid doing all the things that Jerry Jones likes... Because let's face it - Tony Romo is a similar type player without that same magic that Manziel possesses from what we've seen out of college. Manziel's got that extra element to him and Jerry Jones isn't just about winning Football games, he's about selling his Football team... Manziel and Jerry Jones? Could you imagine that together? Could you imagine if he was able to pick him? Oh my goodness... He would lose his mind and the whole league would go 'Uh, oh. This is gonna be some marriage right here.' "

It only took me a second to realise how much of a tale those stories were and ever since that second I have been trapped in my own personal hell. Kaitlyn was 14 years old when her parents died in a plane crash and she was shipped off to adoptive parents that couldn't care less about her. She was completely broken until Aaron came along, he promised he would fix her but everyone knows good things don't last forever... At 17 years old she's more damaged than ever, she can feel any hope she once had rapidly fading away but not all is lost.

Decorating with Found Items
I love mixing old and new pieces to decorate my home; I think it adds a bit of interest. I appreciate antiques, but generally don't use them to decorate my house. I do, however, enjoy looking through an antique store, consignment shop, and even rummage sales occasionally for something that jumps out at me. Below are a few items that I have found this way.
-I found these letters at an antique shop and are old newspaper press letters. I looked through the variety of letters that were for sale to find mismatched fonts – to add a little interest. They are sitting on our mantel and spell out our last name.
-This doorknob plate and key I found at 2 different consignment shops. I bought the knob plate about a year ago and then stumbled upon the key recently. They are placed on a small wall in between 2 doors in our hallway.
-There are 2 of these sconces- one flanking each side of a window in our guest room. They were cheap and fake gold and at a garage sale, but I liked the shape of them. I painted them with a little spray paint and I think they look fairly modern and cool now.
-I was in a clothing consignment shop and I saw this piece of art hanging in the dressing room. I had been looking for something that was this size to fit in a small rectangular space above our headboard. The size and colors were perfect. The traditional feel of this piece balances out the modern print that it is on our bedding.
-I found this side table at an antique store. It was damaged with chipped and scratched red paint. I sanded it and put a couple coats of white enamel on it (leftover paint from painting the trim in our home). It fits perfectly next to the rocking chair in my daughter's nursery.
-This wood vase was found at a garage sale.
-These canvases and frames I found at an antique store (going out of business and I got all 3 for super cheap). To buy this size of canvas and frames new you would normally spend quite a bit of money. They originally had crazy jellyfish painted on them, but I took some acrylic paints and made three simple swirl paintings. They are over our sofa in the basement family room.
-I found this clock at a consignment store. It was like new and from Pottery Barn, but I got it for about 1/4 the cost. It's on a shelf in our guest room.

Late Comeback Sinks BCOctober 20, 2012
Tigerville, S.C.- A North Greenville touchdown late in the 4th quarter edged the Brevard College Tornados 14-10 on Saturday afternoon in Younts Stadium.
With Brevard holding a 10-7 lead and 6:42 remaining in the game, the Crusaders started a 64-yard drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by Darius Paulk. The drive took only seven plays, and gave North Greenville a 14-10 lead with 2:57 remaining in the game.
North Greenville's Stefan Bynoe forced an Aaron Reese fumble that the Crusaders recovered at their own 35-yard line to spark the game winning-drive. The Crusaders halted BC's ensuing drive when Bynoe intercepted a Reese pass on 1st-and-10 from the North Greenville 41-yard line. The senior defensive end returned the interception 25 yards to the BC 34-yard line.
The Crusaders began the game's final drive with 1:48 remaining, sealing the victory when Paulk picked up a crucial first down with a 12-yard run on 3rd-and-two.
Brevard took a 3-0 lead midway through the 1st quarter on a 21-yard field goal by Ben Noboa. Jeremy Chandler helped to give the BC offense prime field position, forcing a fumble on a North Greenville punt return at the Crusaders' own 10-yard line. Brevard recovered the fumble at the NGU eight-yard line to setup the field goal.
The two teams played scoreless football for the duration of the first half, sending the Tornados into halftime clinging to a 3-0 lead.
The Crusaders got their offensive going to start the 3rd quarter, moving the ball down to the BC 23-yard line on the opening drive of the second half before the BC defense came up with three stops to force a field goal. Justin Gravely's 40-yard field goal attempt was blocked to keep it a 3-0 ballgame.
Later in the 3rd quarter, Tornados safety Tanner Wright intercepted a pass from Tyrell Hillary at the Brevard College 15-yard line to halt another Crusaders drive. Wright returned the interception all the way to the North Greenville 40-yard line to setup another Brevard scoring drive.
The Tornados took only three plays to find the end zone, with Reese finding receiver Eric Watts for a 28-yard touchdown pass to make it 10-0 Tornados.
The Crusaders answered with a touchdown on their very next drive to pull within three points. Kamrie Connell, a tight end, completed a 48-yard pass to receiver Taylor Malphurs for the score.
The touchdown by Paulk late in the 4th quarter was the difference in the game, with the Crusaders scoring 14 unanswered points to steal the win.
The Tornados return home to resume South Atlantic Conference action on Saturday, October 27th as they host the Carson-Newman Eagles at Brevard Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Prepare a charity annual return
- English
- Cymraeg
- From:
- The Charity Commission
- Part of:
- Managing your charity and Charity money, tax and accounts
- Published:
- 23 May 2013
- Applies to:
- England and Wales
You must send an annual return (or update your details) every year if your charity is registered in England or Wales.
Annual return service 2017
We are developing a new, improved annual return service for 2017.
The new system will make it easier to file your charity's accounts and will be available to use from 31 August 2017.
We will let you know when the new system is available. Keep a check on this website and our Twitter feed for information.
Charity annual returns
Over 6 million people search for and find charities' details online every year. The annual return you complete tells potential donors, funders, volunteers and beneficiaries about your charity. For example:
- how people can contact your charity
- what it is set up to do
- how it meets its aims
- how much money it makes and spends
- where it operates
You can find most of the information you need in your charity's accounts and trustees' annual report.
Completing annual returns – the law
As a charity trustee, by law you must keep your charity's registered details up-to-date. You need to update your charity's details before you complete its annual return.
If your charity's income is more than £10,000, you must complete an annual return within 10 months of the end of each financial reporting period. Charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) must complete an annual return regardless of their income.
If you fail to meet this legal requirement, your charity's details will be marked 'overdue'. This could put off potential donors, funders or volunteers.
After 6 months the Charity Commission may remove your charity's details altogether and consider whether further action is needed.
If your charity is not a CIO and its income is under £10,000, complete the annual return to meet your legal obligation to keep your registered details up-to-date.
What a charity annual return includes
Your charity annual return is an online form - before you start, you'll need:
- your charity's online services password
- your registered charity number
- registration numbers for any linked charities (if applicable)
Financial information
From your charity's latest accounts, provide:
- start and end dates for the financial period you're reporting (for example 01/04/2013 to 31/03/2014)
- total income and total spending for this reporting period
- total spending outside England and Wales (if applicable)
If your charity's income is over £25,000, you'll need to submit a PDF copy of its accounts – these do not need to be signed. CIOs must submit accounts regardless of their income. These accounts need to be agreed by the trustees and you should also include a PDF copy of your independent examiner or auditor's report.
If your charity's income is over £25,000, you also need to send its trustees' annual report (TAR). CIOs must submit a TAR regardless of their income.
If your charity's income is over £500,000, you'll need to include extra financial information from its accounts in the form.
Serious incident reports
If your charity has an income of £25,000 or more, you must state if any serious incidents took place in the last year, including any that you should have reported but did not.
When to complete your annual return
Complete your charity's annual return as soon as you approve its latest accounts and trustees' annual report.
If your charity's income is more than £10,000, by law, you must complete an annual return within 10 months of the financial reporting period ending. All CIOs must complete an annual return regardless of their income.
As trustees, you're responsible for making sure your charity's annual return is completed on time. If you delegate this task – for example, to a member of staff – make sure they know what to do and when it is due.
Plan ahead to make sure your charity completes its annual return on time. You should also:
- update the charity's details whenever something changes, such as a trustee being replaced
- keep your charity's password safe, particularly if the person who has it leaves the charity
- arrange handover training if someone takes over responsibility for completing the annual return
- arrange a trustee meeting to agree the accounts and trustees' annual report within two months of the financial period ending

Best Of :: People & Places
"Were UFOs created by . . . Hitler?! Find out about the Hitler-UFO connection, tonight on Fox 10, right after The X-Files!"
No joke, that was an actual teaser from the never-ending series of wonderfully shameless Fox 10's Sunday-night tie-ins to the latest Mulder and Scully adventure.
In the interest of hard-hitting TV journalism, the station's intrepid reporters have aired alleged UFO photos from the space shuttle, saucers over Illinois and, of course, the ever-popular Phoenix Lights updates.
To showcase its journalistic diversity, Fox periodically delves into non-UFO issues such as psychics, ghosts and haunted houses. Ich bin ein Aliener!
Arizona State University's campus is the most righteous place to blade, but the cops chase hard-core bladers away because they chip a little cement off benches and tables on daredevil slides and jumps. If you're tired of the hassle, the place to go for unlimited blade action is the Wedge.
With quarterpipes, lots of grinding rails, some bowls and a whole mother lode of other sweet stuff designed especially for bladers, the Wedge offers plenty of opportunity to bust out with some kick-ass blading moves. The vibe is less intense than the Valley's two other more skateboard-oriented parks in Phoenix and Chandler, and less intimidating for the preteen set just honing their plates. A few pro skaters practice at the Wedge, adding a layer of luster and inspiration. The park is open every day from dawn to 10 p.m., and it's free.
How would this go over at your household? "Mommy and Daddy are going to go out for a drink. You kids fend for yourselves." Now try this. "Let's go to Gameworks."
With all the latest and greatest in electronic gaming as well as a full bar and restaurant upstairs, Gameworks has everything you need to satisfy the "inner" and "outer" child. Look for the daily specials -- $20 for one hour of unlimited play, or $20 purchases $27.50 worth of eyeball-sucking fun. Feed the beast, unhook the leashes and the kids are off. The upper sanctum is sufficiently insulated from the mayhem a floor below to allow for a relaxing brew and, gasp, conversation! And don't worry about finding the kids. When their card runs out, they'll find you.
Readers' Choice for Best Kids' Fun at a Price: Castles-n-Coasters
Happy Meals do not grow on trees.
Still, that horticultural fact of life comes as news to many of the young city slickers who visit this West Valley agro-attraction.
"Many of these kids don't have a clue," reports Kathleen Duncan, who, with her husband, Arnott, operates the working farm that includes an organically certified pick-it-yourself veggie patch and petting zoo. Prior to visiting her farm, says Duncan, some young'uns don't know the difference between a cow and a pig, assume that produce grows in the grocery store and have yet to make the connection between barnyard fowl running around the property and the fried poultry nuggets they gobble down at McDonald's.
Fun and educational, the farm also features tractor rides, a seasonal cornfield maze, a farm machinery museum and picnic facilities for birthday parties and other group events. Head west on I-10 toward Goodyear and look to your right for the billboard of a giant baby terrorizing some miniature farm folk, one of several fanciful pop-art pieces that dot the Duncans' acreage.
If you like the idea of art, but aren't exactly sure which end to tell your kid is up in a museum or gallery, this program is the one for you. Its six weekly courses in art history -- held this year from September 20 to October 25 -- deliver the fundamentals of major art movements and works. The teachers are the museum's curators, so they're fluent in the subject. They deliver the lessons without peering down their noses. And the aim is pure: to train volunteers to take art into school classrooms. The program excels at teaching people how to look, and how to encourage children to do the same. We know of some schools where Art Masterpiece volunteers provide the only real art education of the school year.
Who knows why windmills and garishly painted plywood castles became the standard props for miniature-golf courses? But this is one Lilliputian links that bucks that trend with an Old West theme that has your balls rolling toward holes named Devil's Arch, Fool's Gold and Gravedigger's Gulch.
Here the greens are billiard-smooth and truly green -- none of that rumpled multicolored indoor/outdoor carpeting you find elsewhere. Instead of being made of cheap plastic, the putters are genuine metal. And the contours and unsloped lips around the holes make the two 18-hole courses challenging enough to make you want to keep score.
Even better, the approach to the courses doesn't lead through a dungeon of pulsating video games. Instead, it takes you past a driving range, where your children can see firsthand the horror that shanked and sliced balls bring to the faces of local duffers.

Fox Inadvertently Makes Case For Immigration Reform
Research ››› ››› SAMANTHA WYATT
Fox News has repeatedly invoked the Boston bombings to suggest that immigration reform could exacerbate existing problems within the immigration system. However, their commentary actually highlights shortcomings that the bipartisan Senate bill will address in full.
Fox Uses Boston Bombings To Highlight Flaws In Immigration System
Center For Immigration Studies Fellow Michael Cutler: "Think About The National Security Nightmare" Immigration Reform Would Create. On the May 2 edition of Fox News' America Live, guest and Center for Immigration Studies fellow Michael Cutler conflated the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program with the Senate immigration bill in a discussion on the visa status of the Boston bombing suspects. He then suggested that offering identity documents to undocumented immigrants will create a "national security nightmare":
CUTLER: At the root of it all is immigration. And what we're not doing, not just to secure our borders, which leak like a sieve, but the fact that we have over 5 million illegals in the country who violated the terms of their entry and you have a president saying, if you're here illegally, we want to give you lawful status. By the way, I just have to make the one point: Under this DREAM Act deal, they're not doing face-to-face interviews, but they're giving identity documents to aliens. We can't confirm when they got here or who they are. Think about the national security nightmare that creates. [Fox News, America Live, 5/2/13]
Steve Doocy: Boston Bombings Illustrate That "The [Immigration] System Is Broken." On the May 3 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy used the student visa status of one of the Boston bombing suspects to point out that "the [immigration] system is broken":
DOOCY: In particular, one of the kids who idolized him was one of the kids who was suggested to have went, got his backpack and secreted it someplace else. You know, it's interesting as you connect the dots and we try to figure out what to do with immigration in this country, is apparently that one of the kids was on a student visa but was not in school. And when he went away and then came back in, they let him in, because the system is broken. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 5/3/13]
Geraldo Rivera: Boston Bombings Slowing Down Immigration Reform "Has Happened Fairly." On the May 3 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera claimed that the Boston attacks have "fairly" slowed down immigration reform:
RIVERA: One of the things I lamented in the immediate aftermath of this bombing is my certain knowledge that what happened there was going to gum up what seemed like sure progress for the immigration reform bill. And sure enough, it has happened. Now has it happened fairly or unfairly? I have to admit that it has happened fairly in this regard, following up on what you just said about the kid overstaying the visa. There is clearly a problem with overstays. We have the classic image of the undocumented immigrant, a Mexican kid climbing over the wall or swimming across the Rio Grande. But as it turns out, 40 percent of the 11 million, according to the Wall Street Journal, aren't the southern border penetrators; they're people who come on a student visa or some other visa and then they never leave. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 5/3/13]
In Reality, Senate Immigration Reform Bill Will Tighten Security
Senate Immigration Bill Will Establish Mandatory Exit Data System. The Senate immigration bill, titled the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013," requires the implementation of a "mandatory exit data system" by the end of 2015:
ESTABLISHMENT.--Not later than December 31, 2015, the Secretary shall establish a mandatory exit data system that shall include a requirement for the collection of data from machine-readable visas, passports, and other travel and entry documents for all categories of aliens who are exiting from air and sea ports of entry. [Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, 4/16/13]
Sen. Graham: Entry/Exit Visa System Will Help "Find Some Terrorists In Our Midst." During the April 21 edition of CNN's State of the Union, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) explained that the Senate immigration bill will "fix" the system's failure to capture those who overstay their visas:
GRAHAM: I think now is the time to bring all the 11 million out of the shadows and find out who they are. Most of them are here to work, but we may find some terrorists in our midst who have been hiding in the shadows. When it comes to the entry/exit visa system. The 19 hijackers were all students who overstayed their visas and the system didn't capture that. We're going to fix that. In our bill when you come into the country, it goes into the system. And when your time to leave the country expires and you haven't left, law enforcement is notified. So we are addressing a broken immigration system. [CNN, State of the Union, 4/21/13]
DHS Sec. Napolitano: New Electronic Passport Processing Will Greatly Reduce Human Error. During an April 23 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration reform, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano argued that the immigration bill would address the human error that contributed to the Boston bombings. According to CBS News:
Napolitano said Tuesday that the FBI was alerted when Tamerlan Tsarnaev left the U.S. for Russia in 2011, despite the fact that his name was misspelled in one of his travel documents. But, she said, the "matter had been closed" by the time Tsarnaev returned and thus the FBI was not alerted to his reentry.
She argued, though, that the immigration bill would actually work to reduce human error and thus reinforce the strength of existing systems.
"The bill will help with this, because it requires that passports be electronically readable," Napolitano said. "It really does a good job of getting human error to the extent it exists out of the process." [CBS News, 4/23/13]

Steve MacPhee has been named truck driver of the year by the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association.
By Tina Comeau
A Yarmouth County resident has been named truck driver of the year by the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association.
Steve MacPhee is the owner-operator of TST Trucking Ltd., based in Hebron, which has contracts with a number of companies and is part of the Day and Ross Transportation Group.
In the past he's been recognized for having achieved one million accident-free miles – and is working towards achieving that milestone again – and he has also placed high at regional and national trucking competitions.
The award he recently received is based on nominations that can be received from industry peers and management.
"He was driver of the year and he's been recognized for that in the four jurisdictions, Newfoundland, P.E.I, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It's the highest recognition award that you could receive as a driver," said Joe Sullivan, director of safety risk management at Day and Ross's headquarters in Hartland, New Brunswick. "He's worthy of the award because he represents us very well."
Aside from working with his family (including his wife Tam) in the business, MacPhee is carrying on a family tradition in truck driving and freight delivery.
"My whole family has done it all my life," he said. "I'm like the fourth generation, following people like my father and my grandfather."
He says he was both surprised and honoured by the award.
The criteria for the award went beyond just a person's truck driving record and professionalism. It also took into account their community involvement. On this front MacPhee was recognized for such things as being a minor hockey coach and conducting safety courses in the community.
"Steve is one of those individuals that what you see is what you get, and what you see is very good," said Sullivan. "He's a very pleasant and professional individual."

Back to University Catalog 2005-2007
College of Business Administration and Public Policy
Department of Political Science, Economics and Labor Studies
Bachelor of Arts
General Economics Concentration
Quantitative Economics Concentration
Richard Palmer, Department Chair
Frank V. Billes, Rodney Freed, James G. Harris, Abraham Kidane
Department Office: SBS D-311, (310) 243-3444
Advising Office: SBS E-306, (310) 243-3561
Program Description
The Economics Program at CSU Dominguez Hills offers both the Bachelor of Arts and the Minor in Economics. Issues studied include the determination of income, employment, prices, interest rates, and output of goods and services. In addition students will examine foreign trade, economic development, and the impact of government policies upon the economy.
The program has three broad objectives:
1. To provide the student with the analytical tools that are needed to deal with economic problems.
2. To develop skills and techniques at the upper division level in the student's main area of interest.
3. To provide a good background for graduate study or career in business or government.
Students may choose from two concentrations in the major, selected in consultation with a faculty advisor. The General Economics Concentration, recommended for most students, is carefully designed to offer students adequate exposure to standard theory so that upon completion of the program they can effectively analyze contemporary economic problems and exercise sound judgement in evaluating public policy issues. The Quantitative Economics Concentration enables the student to develop skills necessary for analyzing and forecasting changes in economic activity, interest rates, prices, income and exchange rates. This concentration is recommended for those who possess special interest in mathematical and statistical methods.
A Minor in Economics may be useful especially to students majoring in business or public administration, health services management or law. The Economics Minor is attractive to many students, often effectively supplementing their majors or enhancing overall undergraduate education. Employers and graduate professional schools view the minor in economics favorably.
The Center for Economic Education and Research is an integral part of the Economics Department. As a center for economic education, its purpose is to increase economic literacy among the general public, particularly among university students, employees of business and government, high school and elementary school pupils, and teacher education students. In our complex economic society, where vital resources are diminishing while our wants keep increasing, it becomes imperative that individuals, groups, private organizations and public agencies fully appreciate the prevailing circumstances in order to make optimal decisions. Activities at the Center for Economic Education include workshops, public lectures, publication and dissemination of economic analyses of current policy issues. One of 20 in the California State University, the center was established in response to the expressed needs of the general public for greater and more reliable information on how the United States economy functions. In the area of research, the center facilitates faculty and student research activities while at the same time providing opportunities for greater computer literacy. At the center, availability of microcomputers and relevant software enables the faculty to conduct research, to train students in research techniques, and to utilize the computer as a teaching aid.
The Economics faculty is an interesting and diverse group of scholars. Its members were trained at some of the outstanding universities in the United States and abroad. All are engaged actively in research and other scholarly activities. All are used as consultants by both private and government agencies, here and overseas. The core faculty is enriched further by the services of a select number of part-time lecturers who hold significant positions of responsibility in both the public and private sectors of the economy. Their experiences outside the confines of academia bring greater relevance to what students learn in the classroom.
Students graduating from the CSU Dominguez Hills Economics Program benefit from a wide range of employment opportunities, both in government and the private sector. Former students are now working at all levels of government and in many private enterprises such as banks, health maintenance organizations and manufacturing corporations. Some have joined the teaching profession while others have continued their studies toward the doctoral degree at such institutions as UCLA, UC Berkeley, University of Southern California, and the University of Oregon.
Academic Advisement
Students are expected to seek advisement when they first join the program and routinely thereafter. They may elect a particular member of the faculty to be their advisor or they may request one through the chair of the department. The program allows flexibility with respect to course sequence and configuration. Advisement by a faculty member will help students to complete the requirements of the concentration of their choice in a timely and effective manner. Faculty members also are helpful in planning for career as well as for graduate study. Students are strongly encouraged to seek advisement routinely.
High school students are encouraged to take social science courses including economics, as well as mathematics courses. Although a foreign language is not required for the baccalaureate in economics, graduate schools may require one or two foreign languages, especially for the doctoral degree. Accordingly, those who wish to pursue further study in economics at the graduate level are encouraged to take courses in at least one appropriate foreign language.
Students transferring from community colleges can request to obtain credit for appropriate lower division economics courses. Economic principles (micro- and macroeconomics) courses taken at a community college commonly are acceptable to satisfy the lower division economics requirement for both the major and the minor in economics.
Graduation with Honors
An undergraduate student may be a candidate for graduation with Honors in Economics provided the student meets the following criteria:
1. A minimum of 36 units in residence at CSU Dominguez Hills;
2. A minimum GPA of at least 3.5 in all courses used to satisfy the upper-division requirements in the major;
3. Recommendation by the faculty of the Economics Department.

I was thinking rather than doing a begginers and advanced absolute that we might mix the beginners and advanced together and instead run an U73kg and an over 73kg absolute.
Obviously this is more of an issue for the begginers but fighting a more experience guy around a similar weight might be more appealing than a 58kg guy fighting a 110kg dude.
Thoughts please.

Since I'm new I'm not sure but I think this is the debut issue and I would just like to say, what an impressive debut! It has polish and style!
Stacie, beautiful Newsletter, well done! While I was in my thinking room this morning I came up with an idea. Since we are from all parts of the Globe, what about having a meeting place on our site listing who is from where? Say, if we wanted to contact someone in our area, if they wanted to be contacted. Not sure I explained this right but I think you can get the gist of it.
This is an excellent idea! It may be possible for you to add that to your little information profile, so that when people right click on your name they can see information that you want them to see. I'll discuss this with Rick and see what he comes up with.
Thanks for the appreciation of the newsletter. Several of us were involved in content. But as usual Rick put it all together and made it look fantastic.
Thanks for the suggestions, we certainly couldn't do this without you!

Betty on the News: Top Stories
Sarah Palin's popularity takes a hit, John Edwards takes a secret DNA test and more
-Margeaux Baulch Klein
Palin Dropping in Polls
Maybe Sarah Palin shouldn't have given up her day job so fast. A new national poll conducted by the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation shows that the former Alaska governor's favorability is at 39 percent – down seven points from a poll conducted in May. It's unclear if her change in popularity is due to her resigning as governor before her first term ended or if other factors contributed.
"Most of that change has come among Republicans and conservatives," says CNN polling director Keating Holland. "GOP voters still like Palin – two-thirds continue to have a favorable view of her – but she is not as wildly popular among GOPers as she was in the spring, when eight in ten Republicans had a favorable view of her."
Palin is considered the Republican front-runner to challenge President Obama in the 2012 election, but Holland says her fall in popularity could be a concern.
"A 39 percent favorable rating makes it that much tougher for Palin to become president should she decide to run in 2012. Her favorable rating is almost identical to the numbers that former vice president Dan Quayle got just after leaving office in 1993," says Holland. (CNN)

Every Man Will Do His Duty: An Anthology of Firsthand Accounts from the Age of Nelson, 1793-1815
Holt Paperbacks
Number of pages:
Product DescriptionThe phenomenal success of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring novels has spawned a great hunger for more reading material on the Royal Navy and the Napoleonic Wars. Dean King has combed through mountains of primary-source material and has selected the most riveting, informative, and entertaining accounts from the great age of sail. His explorations have, in the words of Douglas Day, C. W. Barrett Professor of English at the University of Virginia, "yielded a collection of narratives that are just as exciting as the marvelous Aubrey--Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brian." Told by actual participants, the eyewitness stories range from slices of life at sea to events of great historical significance, including epic battles such as those of Cape St. Vincent and Trafalgar, and the death of Nelson. Every Man Will Do His Duty is sure to delight legions of seafaring adventure fans.

text: Hello. My name is Debra Jacobson and work at Savannah schools. I was traveling from one school to the next and found this dog near Montgomery Street. He is soooo sweet and loving. Not only that but he is already neutered!! He has to be a lost dog since he's neutered and he's very friendly, social, and loves attention. My apartment complex will not allow more than 2 pets and I already have 2. He is currently at Savannah animal control. They hold him for 5 days before they go onto the adoption floor so his hold-time is up 1/14. Can you please put his picture up to try and find his owner? Or maybe even someone to foster or adopt him, if things should get that far? I just don't want him to get euthanized as he is so wonderful, playful, and seems to love everyone. Thank you so much for all your help.

ATLANTA - Attorney General Thurbert E. Baker announced that Atlanta business owner Daryl Solomon today entered a plea of guilty in DeKalb County Superior Court to Medicaid fraud and conspiracy to defraud the state. Judge Hilton Fuller pronounced a sentence of 15 years, with five years to serve. Additionally, Judge Fuller ordered Solomon to pay $317,822.50 in restitution and a $6,000.00 fine.
Solomon owned and operated a non-emergency transportation business known as S & S Convalescent Transportation. From January 1, 1994, through June 30, 1994, Solomon submitted claims to the Department of Medical Assistance claiming that his company was transporting individuals by stretcher. In fact most individuals transported by S & S Convalescent Transportation were children who rode on regular vans to after school programs. The reimbursement rate for stretcher transportation is ten times more than the rate paid for van trips. During the relevant six month time period, Solomon was paid over one million dollars by the Department of Medical Assistance for fraudulent stretcher trips.
Attorney General Thurbert Baker stated, "Medicaid fraud continues to be one of my top priorities. Those who choose to steal tax dollars paid by the hardworking people of this state will be made to pay for these crimes."
The prosecutor in the case was Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth D. Redisch. The case was investigated by GBI Special Agent Allan Fetters and Auditor David Walker. Throughout the prosecution, the state prosecutor received assistance and support from DeKalb County District Attorney J. Tom Morgan.

LAS VEGAS - It was no surprise that Manny Pacquiao did not attend the post-fight news conference Saturday night at MGM Grand.
Any time a fighter gets knocked cold and falls flat on his face, a trip to the hospital typically is in order.
Pacquiao went to University Medical Center after his shocking sixth-round knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez in a welterweight bout in front of a sellout crowd of 16,348. He was checked out as a precautionary measure and passed with flying colors.
"Manny was given a CT scan and the results were negative," Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, said. "We were in and out in just over an hour and Manny was in excellent spirits."
Pacquiao returned to his suite at The Hotel for a family dinner and to watch the replay of his fight. According to his publicist, Fred Sternburg, Pacquiao said, "Spoiler alert. I don't think you are going to like how this ends," as it was being shown.
Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs) then had some words for Marquez, who won for the first time in their four-fight series.
"I want to congratulate Juan Manuel," Pacquiao said. "I have no excuses. It was a good fight and he deserved the victory. I think boxing fans who watched us were winners, too."
Pacquiao, who will be 34 a week from today, said he was "fine."
"I am looking forward to a nice rest and then I will be back to fight," he said.
The question is, will it be for a fifth fight with Marquez?
Considering Saturday's fight was a barnburner and sellout and an HBO spokesman told this newspaper prior to the fight that pay-per-view numbers were tracking well, it's not unthinkable.
Directly after the fight Pacquiao and his promoter, Bob Arum, were asked about that possibility. Their reply was, "Why not?"
But Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KOs) would not make any kind of a statement that would make one believe he definitely wants that.
The 39-year-old did say beforehand he would continue fighting if he won Saturday, but he sounded like he just wants to enjoy this victory before making any decisions on who's next.
"Right now, I'm not thinking about any fight," Marquez said. "I just want to celebrate with my family, with my friends."
Marquez was reminded after his third fight with Pacquiao in November 2011 ended with Pacquiao getting a controversial majority decision, he said he might retire. Marquez smiled.
"I'm happy that I didn't retire," he said. "Now I'm happy that the referee raised my hand and happy that I left no doubt."
A reporter asked Marquez if he was aware people were dancing in the streets of his native Mexico City because of his electrifying victory that saw him crush Pacquiao's chin with a counter right cross near the end of the sixth, sending Pacquiao down face-first through the lower rope.
"I would be so happy if I could be there," Marquez said.
Marquez, perhaps understating the obvious, referred to this as "one of my best victories."
After getting knocked down in the third round for the first time in the four fights, Pacquiao rallied and returned the favor with a knockdown of Marquez in the fifth round. It was a thrilling and brutal round, one in which Pacquiao established momentum that carried over into the sixth.
But Marquez had an opportunity late in that fateful round and didn't miss. He swung and hit a home run.
HBO will replay the fight Saturday at 9:30 p.m. ahead of the Nonito Donaire-Jorge Arce super bantamweight title fight from Houston.
