State portals have never looked, or acted, like this. Utah launched a new Utah.gov on Monday afternoon.
After at least 11 months of development, with some elements in the works for as long as two years, Utah.gov has turned hardcore on Flash. The portal developers had long wanted to exploit Flash functionality, an industry standard program for creating interactive features for Web sites, but didn't want to leave anybody out. They were surprised, pleasantly so, to learn from statewide surveys that fully 97 percent of their audience used Flash.
Utah.gov backstops the landing page with proxy detection that makes the version of the portal served invisible to users -- Flash for those with the player installed, a simpler version for those who do not, and a mobile version for those coming to the portal on a smartphone.
Flash graphics grab your attention on first visit, coupled with a carousel of icons (with a distinctive Mac-like look and feel) that add a dynamic feel to navigation. User feedback and usability studies had told them that real users thought conventional portal wisdom was wrong.
Search is central to navigation, and is now central to the front page of the portal. It is what the users said they wanted. A prominent news section, which lists recent agency press releases, has always been a big deal for agencies but less so for users. It is still there on the landing page, now organized thematically with horizontal tabs, but has been bumped lower by the prominent search function and a local information window.

Mormon Truth Podcast #14-An Interview With Jared, A Mormon Apologist-Part 1
MP3 File
This is part 1 of 4, of an interview with a guy named Jared. Eric(a very fanatical Evangelical), from "The Living Truth Podcast", invited both Jared and myself, onto his show, so that we could all share our views on Mormonism. Jared is a current, faithful, active, member of the Mormon Church and wanted to explain his view on things and where Eric and I are going wrong in our analysis of the Mormon Church. javascript:void(0)
In part 1, Jared explains why he wanted to come on the show with both of us, and he also gives his description of how the Mormon Church came to be. We discussed the First Vision, the apostasy, and the differences between the Bible and Book of Mormon. We also discussed the fact that God the Father lives on or near Kolob and has polygamous wives, according to official Mormon doctrine.
Eric and I also brought up the fact that there is not one shred of "REAL" evidence, of any kind, of the Book of Mormon people, battles, wars, cities, etc, especially in and around the Hill Cumorah in New York, where it should be plentiful. We also asked Jared who the Lamanites are and where they are located, since the Book of Mormon was written primarily and specifically for them, according to the title page. I think that you guys will really enjoy this a lot!!
Thanks again everyone for listening and stay tuned for parts 2-4, coming soon.

I'd be surprised if this broke amateur girl has an IQ rating higher than 90. Very surprised. I suppose she could be nervous about being on camera, which might explain her retardedness, but I doubt it. She seems like your classic airhead who isn't much good for anything besides a shag. When you watch her video, you'll know exactly what I'm referring to.
Oh my, that broke college girl's pussy looks quite inviting, doesn't it. Her name's Tanner Mayes, and she's in college, but can't afford the tuition, so she has no choice but to sell her teen college girl pussy for some cash. Can't say I blame her. She's got what we want, why not exploit that shit and make a few bucks.
It's a damn sin that teen girls are having to suck and fuck to pay the bills these days, but that doesn't mean I won't jerk off to their homemade videos. I might feel slightly guilty for a few minutes after I blow my load, but I'm certain I'll be able to pick up the pieces and move on with my life..

|Excuse me, future female of the species. Have corn dogs been invented yet?
Xavier Onassis is an 18th century professor and scientist who invented a time machine. The time machine rests in the Danville Museum of Natural History in a non-working state and was later repaired by Phineas and Ferb. ("It's About Time!")
The time machine Edit
The maiden voyage of the time machine took Onassis from the 18th century to Danville circa the late 2020s, arriving moments after Phineas, Ferb and Isabella depart to return to their own present. After pronouncing the test run a success, Onassis decided to stay in this time period when he learned corn dogs had been invented. It is not stated how he would have conceived of this kind of food, given that he apparently had not seen them previously. Thirty-five year old Candace uses this version of the time machine to return to the day the rollercoaster was built, as this was a day she was confident she would be able to bust her brothers.
The time machine appears to only be able to travel through time, remaining in the same geographical position throughout its journey. It can hold two adults or three children. ("Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo")
Another version of the time machine was built by Isabella and the Fireside Girls from plans drawn up by Phineas and Ferb. It was used to rescue Phineas, Ferb and Candace from the Mesozoic Era after their original time machine was destroyed by a T. rex. It can hold up to 12 small passengers and also appears to only have time positioning and not geographical positioning. ("It's About Time!")
Appearances Edit

I was discussing general principles of information handling. That some
databases are equipped with effective search engines does not alter the
fact that some are not so equipped. In genealogy you can have a look at
some GENUKI pages if you want to see an example of poor searchability.

MONTCOAL, W.Va. -- Four miners unaccounted for since a massive underground explosion Monday were found dead early this morning, pushing the death toll at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine to 29 and making it the worst U.S. coal-mining disaster in 40 years.
Gov. Joe Manchin announced the grim findings at a news conference at Raleigh County's Marsh Fork Elementary School, where news media from around the world have camped out since Monday to chronicle a desperate, 100-hour rescue effort.
"We did not receive the miracle we prayed for," Manchin said at about 12:30 a.m. "So this journey has ended and now the healing will start."
The governor said miners had not deployed any of the rescue chambers in the mine, and that none of the workers had a chance to use their emergency breathing devices.
"We remained hopeful the four missing miners would have been found alive," Massey CEO Don Blankenship said in a statement issued just after Manchin's announcement. "I personally met with many of the families throughout the week and share their grief at this very painful time."
Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., said of the miners' families, "Their loved ones are now smiling down upon them, and we all know they are in a better place and did not suffer."
Kevin Stricklin, administrator for coal at the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, said mine rescue crews would immediately begin recovering the miners' bodies and that MSHA would then turn its attention to investigating the disaster.
"I can assure you that no stone will be left unturned," Stricklin said. "We will find the cause of it."
As the news sunk in, several of the teachers and staff from Marsh Fork Elementary who had come to help the media stationed at the school, began weeping silently. Tammy Gobble hugged Sheri McGraw of the Red Cross and sobbed, her shoulders shaking.
Manchin said that the families wanted to wait until their loved ones had been removed from the mine, but the governor explained to them that it would take some time. He assured them that the fallen miners would be treated with dignity.
"Naturally, they wanted to wait and take their loved ones home with them," said the governor, who lost an uncle in the 1968 Farmington disaster.
Rescue teams had scoured the Upper Big Branch Mine on Friday in a fourth, last-ditch effort to find the four miners, in the hopes they had somehow made their way to an airtight rescue chamber stocked with food, water and breathable air.
Two other miners were injured in the explosion. One of them has been released from a local hospital, while the other remains in intensive care in Charleston. No information on his condition has been released.
A complete list of the victims and the injured has not been made public, and Manchin and Rahall urged the media to respect the privacy of the families in the days ahead.
The 29 deaths in the Upper Big Branch explosion are the most in a U.S. mine disaster since 38 perished in a coal-dust blast on Dec. 30, 1970, at Finley Coal's No. 15 and No. 16 mines on Hurricane Creek near Hyden, Ky.
It is the West Virginia coal industry's worst workplace disaster since 78 miners died in the November 1968 Farmington explosion. In February 1972, 125 residents of Buffalo Creek in Logan County died when a coal slurry dam there collapsed and flooded their hollow.
All week, mine safety advocates and political leaders have promised detailed investigations and said they would re-examine mine safety laws and enforcement practices in the wake of the disaster.
"It is infuriating that in this day and age, and in this country, that such a disaster could still happen," Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., said in a statement Friday. "I am sick. I am saddened, and I am angry."
In brief remarks delivered in the White House Rose Garden, President Obama said Friday afternoon that "it's clear that more needs to be done" on the issue.
Obama has ordered Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and MSHA chief Joe Main to provide him a report by next week on their preliminary findings on "what went wrong and why it went wrong so badly, so that we can take the steps necessary to prevent such accidents in the future."
When asked if there would be public hearings as part of the disaster investigation, Manchin said, "I would assume so. We want to dovetail them with the federal [hearings].
"We want to work with the federal government," the governor said. "We want to work with Congress."
This week's disaster comes four years after a dozen miners died in an explosion at International Coal Group's Sago Mine in Upshur County, the first in a series of major mining accidents that claimed 28 lives in 2006 and 2007.
After years of improvements in coal-mine safety, Bush administration budget cuts and a focus away from tough enforcement eroded MSHA's policing of the industry. The rising death toll prompted lawmakers to pass the 2006 MINER Act, the first major reforms in safety standards in 30 years.
Unsuccessful rescue efforts at Upper Big Branch were made all the more heartbreaking because the 2006 law focused on faster emergency response and new technologies meant to help miners survive and escape from explosions and fires.
While the Massey mine had blast-proof and airtight rescue chambers, extra emergency breathing devices and a somewhat improved communications system, none of it was enough to protect the miners from what investigators believe was a methane explosion made far worse by explosive coal dust underground.
Federal and state regulators had cited the Upper Big Branch operation repeatedly for ventilation problems and for allowing the buildup of coal dust, but it will be months before any definitive conclusions about what actually triggered the explosion.
At about 2:30 p.m. Friday, MSHA, state regulators and Massey management sent rescue teams back into the mine after it appeared that nitrogen being pumped into the tunnels was pushing high levels of carbon monoxide back out of the sprawling maze of underground tunnels.
About eight hours earlier, rescue teams had been forced to retreat again out of the mine after they encountered a large amount of smoke from a fire near the mine's longwall section.
That development was another major setback in a campaign already riddled with hurdles, and the situation grew more desperate by the hour as the rescue operation in Southern West Virginia stretched into its fifth day.
"Not a whole lot has really gone our way," a clearly frustrated Stricklin told reporters Friday.
During a mission into the mine that started at about 12:45 a.m. Friday, two specially trained and equipped rescue teams found one refuge chamber in the mine that had not been used, but could not reach a second chamber. They were not able to get to the second refuge chamber within 96 hours of Monday's explosion -- the amount of time the chambers are supposed to keep people alive, and a deadline that rescuers had committed to with the miners' families.
Since Monday evening, the national media had staked out the scene to cover the dramatic rescue effort, the mourning of families who lost loved ones and hammer away at questions about Massey's safety record and the various controversies surrounding company CEO Don Blankenship.
In various rounds of media interviews, Blankenship had defended his company and in a Thursday letter to Massey shareholders, he insisted any suggestion by the media that the disaster was caused by "a willful disregard for safety regulations are completely unfounded."
After the rescue teams were pulled out Friday morning, workers began to pump nitrogen into the mine. The nitrogen reduces the oxygen level, which should make the air less combustible and put out the fire.
When asked why nitrogen wasn't put in earlier, Stricklin said it was, yet again, a change of plans.
"The plan was to put nitrogen in if [gases in the mine] came close to the explosive range. What we didn't expect was there to be smoke from a fire, and that changed what we had to do," he said.
In an e-mail message, though, a Department of Labor spokesman said that Massey had "dragged its feet" in having the nitrogen delivered to the mine site.
"We asked the company for it two days ago," said department spokesman Carl Fillichio. "We had to keep asking for it."
On Thursday, rescue teams were pulled from the mine after a three-hour mission that got them within 1,000 feet of a refuge chamber where they hoped the miners took shelter. But the rescuers were called back from the mine Thursday morning after repeated sampling showed unsafe air quality that could cause another explosion.
Stricklin said Thursday the explosion filled the mine with an "explosive mixture" of high levels of carbon monoxide and methane, along with low levels of oxygen.
"It tells us it was a very violent explosion," he said.
Any chance of survival the miners had hinged on using self-contained self-rescuers, or SCSRs, to make their way to refuge chambers stocked with enough air, food and water to last four days.
An SCSR is a breathing apparatus that generates about an hour's worth of oxygen that each miner carries. In the event of a catastrophe, miners are trained to first try to get out of the mine. If they can't, the next step is to make their way to a rescue chamber and hunker down.
"With the concentrations of gas we've seen throughout the entire mine ... there's no way that life could be sustained in that kind of atmosphere, even for a short period of time," Stricklin said.
Stricklin also described the scene rescuer crews saw when they went underground.
"There's destruction just about everywhere," he said. "It was a violent explosion."
Officials had being especially careful all week, at least in part because of the deaths of mine rescue crew members in a secondary mine explosion in Kentucky in 1976 and in a follow-up pillar collapse, or burst, just three years ago at the Crandall Canyon Mine in Utah.
"We have to do what we think is right," Stricklin said. "We have to take away any possibility of another explosion."
Just hours after the explosion -- reported to have occurred at about 3 p.m. Monday -- rescuers searched parts of the mine, but by Tuesday morning were forced to pull out when they detected toxic and highly explosive gas levels underground. Before they were pulled out, searchers were able to check one refuge chamber, which was empty.
However, they did discover that three SCSRs had been removed from emergency stockpiles, leading rescuers to believe that at least some miners had survived the initial blast.

Julian Assange and Wikileaks have been fertile sources for blog posts here in the past:

Many readers are likely following the byzantine jurisdictional and procedural challenges waged by Assange in his fight against his extradition from the UK to Sweden (en route to the U.S.) to be "questioned" by the Swedish prosecutor about alleged sexual assault/rape allegations (note that Assange has yet to be formally charged).
Legal pundits and arm chair commentators abound, but I commend readers to Mike Semple Piggot's excellent podcast interview of Francis FitzGibbon QC on the Assange asylum bid.
As this political and legal drama unfolds, for those with a penchant for esoteric legal academic analysis on Wikileaks, state secrets and copyright law, James Freedman (Student-at-law, Stanford Law School) has posted "Protecting State Secrets as Intellectual Property: A Strategy for Prosecuting WikiLeaks" Stanford Journal of International Law Vol. 48, No. 1, p. 185, 2012. Here's the abstract:
Criminal statutes generally deployed against those who leak classified government documents — such as the Espionage Act of 1917 — are ill-equipped to go after third-party international distribution organizations like WikiLeaks. One potential tool that could be used to prosecute WikiLeaks is copyright law. The use of copyright law in this context is rarely mentioned, and when it is, the approach is largely derided by experts, who decry it as contrary to the purposes of copyright. Using copyright to protect state secrets, however, particularly if done through suit in a foreign court, escapes a number of the impediments to a WikiLeaks prosecution, such as the limited scope of narrowly tailored U.S. criminal statutes or the need to apply U.S. law extraterritorially and extradite defendants. Admittedly, using copyright law for these purposes presents its own set of problems, perhaps most intractable under U.S. law, but still significant in the case of suits brought in a foreign court under foreign law. This Note will explore these difficulties, such as the government works issue, potential fair use or fair dealing defenses, as well as various non-legal obstacles to success, eventually reaching the conclusion that prosecuting WikiLeaks internationally for copyright violations is potentially more viable than any of the methods of criminal prosecution heretofore explored publicly by government attorneys and legal scholars.

The nightly builds page contains now various installers for different platforms. This means that using the recent CVS version is just as easy as using "official" distributions. The relevant page is: http://download.plt-scheme.org/scheme/installers See the bottom of that page for instructions. Please send any feedback regarding anything at all (I prefer emails to go directly to me since it's still in an early stage) -- from information on the web page, to installer instruction texts. I expect a lot of rough edges that need smoothing. Two specific thing where I will appreciate any help I can get are: 1. For the OSX dmg files, I couldn't find any way of setting the folder attributes to display the instructions background, and to set the icon positions. I've spent a lot of google time but came up with nothing so far, so if anyone knows how to do this, I would very much like to hear about it. 2. The Windows installers were not tested too widely so far, I would like to hear if there are any problems (there might by some registry problems, and in addition I didn't try this on a non-NT Windows.) Additional notes: 1. This will be the same mechanism that will be used for future releases, which is why it would be nice to get some feedback. 2. Download sizes are bigger now, because they contain the .zo files. (The extra download time should be much smaller than the time for generating the .zo files, even with a dialup connection...) 3. The `full' install type is no something that is officially distributed -- it is the whole exp-tagged cvs tree, fully compiled, including all documentations and the complete source tree. This is why it's such a huge download compared to the others. 4. The consistent smaller size of Windows installers is not an optical illusion -- I'm now using the NSIS installer (from the WinAmp project) which has a new compression mode that is very efficient. 5. The sh installers for the different unix platforms are a shell wrapper around a tgz file that will check itself, unpack, run the installer to create executables, and create links if you ask it to. For Linux, I will do something similar with an RPM file (which means that there will be no src rpm), so the size should reduce with the bzip2 compression. -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://www.barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!

The 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played Tuesday night in Kansas City, but there were plenty of heavy hitters present Wednesday morning as the Chicago Cubs and the City of Mesa broke ground on a new, $99M year-round facility — Riverview Park.
The project, at the SEC of the intersection of the Loop 101 and 202 freeways, was approved by Mesa voters in 2010. The park will feature a 15,000-fan main stadium with a video board, shaded seats and luxury suites as well as improved concessions and restrooms. Construction is scheduled to be completed before the 2014 spring training season.
"A stadium is a stadium; the beauty is the game," said Mesa Mayor Scott Smith. "This has been a community effort. It's all about the Cactus League and what it means to the Valley and Arizona."
Added Chicago Cubs Executive Vice President Mike Lufrano: "This facility will provide the best fan experience in spring training and offer world class training and development facilities for our players year round. We look forward to bringing this new ballpark to Mesa and continuing our commitment to work together on a stadium which will make the community proud."
Dignitaries who addressed the crowd of about 200 people included Jody Davis, a former Cubs catcher; Tom Ricketts, team chairman; David Bower, principal of architectural firm Populous; Robert G. Hunt, president and CEO of general contractor Hunt Construction; and several Mesa city officials. A tribute was given to Robert Brinton, a longtime advocate of the Cactus League who passed away last October at age 60.
When completed, Riverview Park will feature four MLB fields, which the Chicago Cubs will use during spring training; team training facilities, which will provide the team year-round player development; and the 15,000-seat main stadium.
Other amenities will include multiple entrances to the park, heavily landscaped grounds, a large, open concourse, a seating bowl with 70% of the seats in the shade, and features that will capture the intimacy of Wrigley Field in Chicago.
"Congratulations to Mesa, this will be a knock-dead facility," said Bower, who added that the Phoenix office of DWL Architects-Planners will also be a part of the design team. "It will be second to none in the Cactus League."
The Arizona State University baseball team is scheduled to play its games at Riverview Park once it is completed, but negotiations are still on-going.

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has developed Grade Specific Catholic Education Curriculum to identify key religious education concepts for each grade level (1-8). These concepts are articulated in competence-based language.
View the Grade-Specific Catholic Education Curriculum summary.
These one-page summaries are divided into four sections, based on the main parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Curriculum guides for parents were developed so schools and parents could identify what we want our students to know and be able to do at the end of each grade based on national state and local standards.

Our guests come from around the world - near and far. Here are some of their impressions of Querencia that they've shared with us in our Guestbooks ...
"Before yesterday, we never could have imagined this. Our incredible dinner in the wine cellar, every attention to every detail, the beautiful sunset view and walk through the delightfully lit garden, the turned down bed ... it will forever be a special anniversary memory for us. One of the best! If not THE best!"
"There is a serenity here at Querencia that is quite rare in this busy world. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all of the special touches have not been lost on us."
"What a fun, warm, and pampering experience. It will be a birthday we never forget!"

Glossary Term – Place
Nashoba Colony
Currents of radical anti-slavery thought inspired Frances Wright, a fervent Scottish abolitionist, to found Nashoba Colony in 1826, near Memphis, Tennessee, as an experiment in interracial living. She established a racially integrated cooperative community in which slaves were to receive an education and earn enough money to purchase their own freedom. Publicity about Fanny Wright's desire to abolish the nuclear family, religion, private property, and slavery created a furor, and the community dissolved after only four years.

25 Celebrities Who Committed Horrible Crimes
Celebrity| | By Jason Owen
We often wag our fingers at celebrities when they commit the slightest of infractions. If they badmouth another celebrity we like, if they make a distasteful joke on Twitter, if they have a negative reaction to pushy paparazzi, we might write them off entirely, insisting that we'll never go to one of their movies or buy another one of their albums again. And yet, there are other celebrities who, sometimes literally, seem capable of getting away with murder.

If the well is a dry hole, it does not cost the Indian anything.
With a nod of assent the youth pushed forward, gained the rock, and found the place where water had once been, a dry hole!
Every dry hole gives a greater chance that the next will be full.
The shiftless one like himself was a true son of the wilderness and he would be as clever as a fox in finding a warm, dry hole.
Following the trail, he rode through the cedars to come upon the dry hole where the pool had once been.
I feel a great deal better than if I had sunk thirty or forty thousand dollars in a dry hole.
Then came the blow-up, and it turned out that his well was just a dry hole in the ground.
Sometimes you git a payin' well an' a dry hole only a few hunderd feet apart.
A dry hole was drilled, the exhaust air from the hollow drill blowing the dust from the hole keeping it clean.
It was hard work, putting down that well, and up to almost the last moment it promised to be a dry hole.

'American Idol': Who Will Be in the Season 11 Finals? (POLL)
Tonight, American Idol will go from three contestants to two, as the show gets ready to crown its 11th — yes, 11th! — winner, next Thursday.
In what will likely go down as the tightest elimination in the history of the show, America will reveal who they want to see in the coveted finale after Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez gave it their all during Wednesday's performance night episode.
But just who will make it to the final round?
This morning, Celebuzz is polling its readers to predict the season 11 final two. Will we see a male-female battle between Jessica and Joshua, or Jessica and Phillip? Or will it be another all-male finale — the first since season 8?
Relive some of the performances from last night, then cast your vote in our poll!
American Idol airs tonight at 8PM ET, and will feature performances by Lisa Marie Presley and former Idol contestant Adam Lambert. (Read our interview with Lambert here.)
Joshua Ledet – 'I'd Rather Go Blind'
Phillip Phillips – 'We've Got Tonight'
Jessica Sanchez – 'I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing'

By 1989, I was deep into my career in technology journalism, and Micron ( MU) was a very important company on that beat. Steve Appleton, who started on the Micron factory floor in 1983, the same year I became a tech freelancer, became president of Micron in 1991, and CEO in 1994. Like Neuharth, Appleton was a larger-than-life character with a big idea, namely that America needed to survive in the commodity end of the microchip business. That we could survive. Micron makes memory chips, which have a brutal product-and-profit cycle. It took a man with iron nerve and discipline to pilot such a company far from Silicon Valley, and piloting planes was one of Appleton's escapes from those tensions. It was a small plane crash that took his life, in February of 2012, explained here by Bloomberg. He was 51. Even before his death, however, it was apparent that Appleton's dream required adjustment. Made in USA alone wasn't good enough. Appleton took over rival, Texas Instruments' memory chip business in 1998, and that of Toshiba in 2001, then cut his Boise workforce repeatedly to reduce costs.
This continued after his death. Wikipedia says Micron is now the largest shareholder in Inotera, a Taiwanese memory chip maker, and last year it bought Japan's Elpida out of bankruptcy. It now holds 24% of the global memory chip market, although most of those chips are actually made in Asia. Still, it's the image that counts. USA, USA, USA. And USA Today. And it's the image that remains after the men who crafted those images are gone from us. At the time of publication, the author had no investments in companies mentioned here.

Expansion of Foreclosure Registry
(Cincinnati) -- In 2012, City Council approved the creation of a Vacant Foreclosed Property Registration in the five neighborhoods that have had the highest number of foreclosures in recent years: College Hill, East Price Hill, West Price Hill, Madisonville and Westwood. Now, the other 47 neighborhoods could be included in the registry.
Under the program, if a bank starts foreclosure proceedings, it has to list the property on the City's registry. If they don't, they get fined. And if they don't keep up the property, they get fined. The registry requires banks to list a contact number, so neighbors can get in touch if the property isn't being kept up.
Ken Smith with Price Hill Will says all too often, a foreclosed home falls into disrepair, and drags down the property values around it. He says the registry actually helps banks, because they can more easily re-sell a house that is in good repair.
Councilman PG Sittenfeld says 88% of the properties on the registry have been kept up, or even improved, and he says that has kept neighborhoods in better shape.
He says the program has paid for itself, through the registration fee. And, he says the City has collected more than a million dollars through fines.
City Council passed the measure Wednesday afternoon, 8-0. Councilman Kevin Flynn abstained.

Admitted students experienced Birmingham-Southern at the Select 'Southern event held on March 1-2, 2015.
Admitted students experienced Birmingham-Southern at the Select 'Southern event held on March 1-2, 2015.
May 20, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Danielle Rucker, who graduated from Birmingham-Southern May 18 with a degree in economics, was recently awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship from August 2013 to June 2014.
Rucker will assist English teachers of a non-native English background in Yilan, Taiwan. She will spend at least 30 hours per week in the classroom teaching and organizing language-related activities.
"I feel so fortunate to have received this amazing opportunity to teach abroad," said Rucker, a native of Nashville, Tenn. "I'm also excited to be able to become immersed in the Taiwanese culture while exposing students to a bit of American culture."
This will not be Rucker's first time overseas. She studied abroad for a semester during her sophomore year at Hong Kong Baptist University.
Rucker said she chose to teach in Taiwan to advance the Chinese language skills she acquired both in Hong Kong and from her BSC coursework. In her Fulbright essay, she wrote about her previous study-abroad experience in Asia.
This summer, Rucker plans to work on her Mandarin Chinese language skills and prepare for the graduate school entrance exam. One she returns from Taiwan to pursue a graduate degree, she is not sure exactly what path her life will take.
"Teaching is not my first passion," she said. "But who knows? After my year in Taiwan, that could all change."
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the highly selective, merit-based Fulbright scholarship provides funds to seniors and graduate students who plan to conduct research, teach, or exercise other talents abroad. Some 5,000 applicants competed for these awards for the 2012-13 year.
About Birmingham-Southern College:
Birmingham-Southern College is a four-year, private liberal arts institution in Birmingham, Ala., founded in 1856 and affiliated with the United Methodist Church. It enrolls about 1,200 students from more than 30 states and 16 foreign countries. Learn more online at www.bsc.edu.

Post subject: SoS's Pressing Questions
How's it going fellas. This will be the next installment of my "32 Team Pressing Fantasy Questions" thread, which will be found in the Fantasy Football forum once I've compiled a sufficient amount of responses. I will be linking each team from that central thread so posters can click on the link and be directed to this thread (or whichever team they click on) to directly see the comments you guys have left.
With that said, I would GREATLY appreciate as much participation/responses/opinions as possible. I know it's somewhat of a dead period here on Football's Future but it would be great if you guys could just take a few seconds to voice what you believe to be the answer to these pressing questions. Since it is for fantasy purposes, there likely will not be any defensive questions. Each team will have 3 questions and they will generally encompass the QBs, RBs, and WRs.
Thanks in advance!
1. Re-draft and dynasty owners alike are curious as to how effective Bishop Sankey might be out of the gate. He's been pegged as the most pro-ready rookie RB, just based off of style of play and opportunity alone. How do you guys project his rookie season and beyond? Are people sleeping too much on Shonn Greene in 2014?
2. Not many people realize how good Kendall Wright and Justin Hunter are developing and they both seem to be good value gets in fantasy drafts. Do you expect one of those guys to take a big leap this year? Who's the better long-term option for fantasy?
3. You would think the final question would be about Jake Locker, but I personally don't believe he's on many people's fantasy radar, meaning he's really not the topic of any pressing questions. What I really want to know is whether Delanie Walker can fulfill his own projection that he will finish the season as a top 10 fantasy TE?

1.) Greene has been dealing with a knee injury and Sankey to me will be the starter no doubt. Regardless this will be a RB by committee with McCluster and Greene having their own duties. However, Sankey is not out of question for 1300 total yards and around 7 total TDs. I expect Greene to take goal line carries away from him and McCluster to take receptions away.
2.) Kendall Wright is easily the higher fantasy value between the 2. Hunter definitely has great potential but Wright has proved he can be a reliable weapon. His TDs are down but he will always be near the top receptions so in PPR leagues, he should thrive.
3.) Walker to me was a good weapon for the team last year. Had some drops but wasn't a huge issue like many non-Titan fans thought it would be. If Locker stays healthy, wouldn't be surprised if Walker catches 70 balls, 800 yds, and around 6-8 TDs.

1. Bishop to me will be the starter out the gate. With our Oline and the fact that Greene can't stay on the field I would assume hes in for a big rookie year. If Jake goes down I think Bishops stats could be near 1500 yards 10 TDs. If Jake stays healthy I think he gets around 1200 6 TDs.
2. If Jakes stays up Hunter is going to have a big break out year. But Wright is a very good pick up for PPR. I think both take huge steps this year based solely on the fact that Whiz is going use these guys the right way but If I had to choose one Id have to go Hunter.
3. Walker being a top 10 TE for fantasy is a bit of a stretch. Top 15 is more likely.

1. I'd be shocked if Bishop Sankey wasn't the primary RB right out of the gate, but look for Shonn Greene and especially Dexter McCluster (it's widely speculated and perhaps even just assumed that McCluster is going to fill the Danny Woodhead role in Whiz's offense for us) to get plenty of touches. Whisenhunt has stated numerous times that we will be running the ball by committee. Look for Bishop Sankey to get anywhere from 200 to 250 carries for 1000 to 1200 yards- he'll be a solid pick as an RB2, but I doubt he'll be used quite enough to put up huge fantasy numbers.
2. Kendall Wright is without a doubt the better pick here, and he's actually someone who has the potential to really break out fantasy-wise. Many people don't even realize he had 90 receptions last year, simply because he didn't have a lot of splash plays. He was being used mostly as a chain-moving slot receiver in Dowell Loggains' offense, but he's spent the offseason focusing on becoming more explosive to generate bigger plays, and Whisenhunt plans to make much more extensive and varied use of him- I would say as a bona fide #1 receiver in this offense. I think if Jake Locker stays healthy we could see a 100-catch, 1300-1400 year out of Kendall Wright. I honestly think he's ready to become a premier receiver. He's reliable, tough as nails, and unbelievably good at creating separation.
Justin Hunter is a much riskier proposition. He flashed exceptional potential last season, with 4 touchdowns in just 18 receptions and 22 yards per reception, but the consistent production just wasn't there. He put on some much-needed muscle this offseason and I think he'll be a solid contributor this year and continue to be a weapon on deep balls and in the red zone, but I wouldn't be surprised if he still lacks consistency and disappears at times. I think a fair prediction for Hunter is around 40-50 receptions for 700-800 yards and 5-8 touchdowns.
3. I'm not so sure about that. Walker is a good, solid tight end who is good at just about everything, but not great at anything. He may improve on his numbers from last year, but I expect him to put up 600-700 yards- good, but not Top 10 material.

Set 100 years in the future, the film is narrated in by Chieko (voice of Martha Henry), a seven year-old girl (played by Rachel Walker) native to the flourishing colony. A brief history of space exploration includes the sole thrill of a slow motion shuttle launch from the Kennedy Space Center as only IMAX can deliver. After an overview of L5 that is devoid of any detail or serious scientific facts/processes, the story quickly turns to a mission to save the colony from a water shortage. Sound disjointed? Yep.

What are Direct View Televisions?
Direct-view HDTVs may be either widescreen or non-widescreen. Direct-view televisions use a CRT and a scanning electronic gun to "paint" an image on a phosphor coated screen. Also known as Tube TVs, Direct View TVs have smaller screen sizes and are rapidly losing favor among consumers as LCD TVs have dropped in price over the years.
Disadvantages of Direct View Televisions
Many Direct-View TV's sets are now equipped with a built-in HD receiver. A more severe limitation of the direct-view TV, HD-wise, is that the shadow mask at the front of the tube doesn't have enough perforations to display any HDTV format at its full resolution. Most CRT's do not have the image properly centered and sized on the screen. Now that HDTV has been around for a few years it is possible to buy a set with full high-definition capability at a surprisingly reasonable price.
CRT Technology in Direct View TV's
A Cathode Ray Tube TV is what most people call the "common" TV. CRT TVs are still sold with a range of brands. CRT TVs are much heavier than plasma, LCD and DLP televisions. CRT TV or Cathode Ray Tube Television uses, as the name suggests, a cathode ray tube to create a viewable image. Your CRT TV (flat-screen version) like its newer counterparts will allow you to view the screen at multiple angles. Finally your CRT TV has a longer lifespan, very reliable, & displays good picture quality.
When you purchase a HDTV or any type of LED LCD Plasma DLP HDTV from MODIA we are here to help ensure that you have the proper insight on all types of HDTV's. We will break down the difference between Direct View HDTV, Cathode Ray Tube TV (CRT TV), (D-ILA) Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier, LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) DLP, LCD, Plasma TV's.

Labour and productivity in Guyana
Declining Participation
Unions in Guyana are not as strong as they used to be and many of the institutions that supported workers have either been weakened or otherwise undermined. The result of the labour movement being in disarray is reflected in the diminished growth in union membership and declining participation in labour events in the country. The ineffectiveness of unions is also seen in the protracted, and in some cases, unresolved disputes with employers. The important role that unions played in the creation and development of an independent Guyana and their value in improving workers' rights and living conditions seem lost on an increasingly apathetic population. One cannot discount the deleterious impact that migration has had on the decline of the labour movement in Guyana, but the belief that unions were just there to fight colonial rule seems to have taken hold in Guyana. Yet, Guyana might have a labour problem that is in need of urgent attention.
Flaring up
Indeed, industrial disputes have been flaring up frequently in the sugar industry, except that those frequent work stoppages have not led to violent confrontation with the highly unprofessional and indisciplined Guyana Police Force. That some union leaders would bury their heads in the sand and claim that there was no corruption in the country is further evidence that some labour unions are no longer interested in fighting for workers and their rights. It is not easy to put a monetary value on corruption, but any resources lost to the economy results in the loss of an opportunity to expand aggregate income and increase compensation for all, including workers. It might not matter to some union bosses as well that valuable labour resources were being lost to the country with consequences for productivity and the retirement income of workers.
Endemic poverty
The labour situation is one that requires careful study and needs to be addressed as a matter of concern, if not priority. A new population census is underway and that exercise should capture much data about life and living conditions of Guyanese. The conclusion of the census and the timely publication of its results should provide Guyanese with some hard data with which to work to draw firm conclusions about the condition of workers in the country. Census results would also help with a study of how to improve conditions for workers if necessary. In the meanwhile, one has to rely on existing published data to extrapolate about the condition of workers in Guyana. For example, data reported in the annual budget speeches to Parliament offer evidence that between 30 to 35 per cent of workers are earning minimum wage. Also, the 2002 Census showed Region 10 with an unemployment rate of over 15 per cent well above the national average which at the time was 12 per cent. In the lead up to the recent crisis in Linden that exposed how endemic poverty was in that community, an unemployment rate, well above that shown in the 2002 data, was frequently being quoted. The 2012 Census remains very important and the exercise should be supported by households.
A preliminary examination of public data reveals that employees are working hard, but one cannot be sure if they are receiving the rewards and recognition that should come with the effort being made. To appreciate the effort being made by Guyanese workers, it is useful to take a good look at what the economic performance of the country was in recent times. The economy has grown by an average of four per cent over the last six years. Despite this growth, the share of compensation going to workers remains stagnant at around 37 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP). In other words, the compensation that employees receive from employers represents a bit more than one-third the value that was added to output by businesses in Guyana each of the last six years. Experts point out that the share of labour cost in total product costs reflects the skill level of labour in a country. A low share of wages represents a high input of unskilled work in the product.
Tightening market
Another important metric in assessing the condition of workers in the economy is the unit labour cost. This gives an indication of how fast wages are rising versus the rate at which output is expanding. Over the last six years, the unit labour cost was projected to have risen by about eight per cent. Unit labour costs reflect worker productivity and changes in wages. The nominal wages of workers rose an average of 12 percent in the last six years while productivity increased by four percent. A relatively high increase in unit labour costs of eight per cent is typical of a tightening labour market where companies are forced to increase wages to keep good workers and are also forced to employ lower skilled workers. Based on the foregoing, the increase in the unit labour is a reflection of wage inflation and lower productivity, a consequence of having to depend on lower-skilled workers. Instead of becoming more efficient, employers in Guyana are likely becoming more desperate. Despite these favourable conditions for labour, some unions in Guyana remain powerless.
Surging production
Admittedly, it is not clear where in the economy the wage increases might be taking place. One could only assume that migration and the lucrative incomes from the gold fields are putting pressure on the labour market. According to the 2002 Census, the distribution of labour in the economy was skewed towards industries in agriculture and the distributive trade. At an early stage, construction made a play for labour in the economy. Of late the extractive industries have been surging in production. The stubbornly high global gold prices have attracted substantial investment into that industry within the last three years. Bauxite production has also made a surge while oil and manganese exploration have intensified during the same period.
In the absence of hard evidence, no one could be sure where the wage increases are taking place. But given the increased demand for resources in the extractive industries, the observed wage inflation might be concentrated in the mining sector. Despite the growth in the mining sector, unions do not seem well positioned to take advantage of the growth in labour participation in the mining sector.

I'd almost be a little afraid to use this comb, it's so pretty and looks so delicate. But the I remember it's wood and it's not all that expensive so even if i do loose it at the beach or step on it (ouch!) that's okay. And I always do like to comb my hair after I get out of the water.

Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson (born 15 April 1990) is an English actress and model. Watson rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series. She was cast as Hermione at the age of nine, having previously acted only in school plays.[2] From 2001 to 2011, she starred in all eight Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.[3] Watson's work on the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million.[4] She made her modelling debut for Burberry's Autumn/Winter campaign in 2009.
In 2007, Watson announced her involvement in two productions: the television adaptation of the novel Ballet Shoes and an animated film, The Tale of Despereaux. Ballet Shoes was broadcast on 26 December 2007 to an audience of 5.2 million, and The Tale of Despereaux, based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo, was released in 2008 and grossed more than US $86 million in worldwide sales.[5] In 2012, she starred in Stephen Chbosky's film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and was cast in the role of Ila in Darren Aronofsky's biblical epic Noah.[6]
Emma Watson was born in Paris, to Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson, both British lawyers.[7][8][9] Watson lived in Paris until the age of five. Her parents separated when she was young; following their divorce, she moved with her mother and younger brother to Oxfordshire, spending weekends in her father's house in London.[7][10] Watson has stated that she speaks some French, though "not as well" as she used to.[11]
After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, Watson attended the Dragon School in Oxford, remaining there until 2003.[7] From the age of six, she wanted to become an actress,[12] and for a number of years trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school where she studied singing, dancing and acting.[13] By the age of ten, she had performed in various Stagecoach productions and school plays, including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince,[14] but she had never acted professionally before the Harry Potter series. "I had no idea of the scale of the film series," she stated in a 2007 interview with Parade; "If I had I would have been completely overwhelmed."
Following the Dragon School, Watson moved on to Headington School, also in Oxford.[7] While on film sets, she and her peers were tutored for up to five hours a day.[15] In June 2006, she took GCSE examinations in ten subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades.[7][16]
In 1999, casting began for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States), the film adaptation of British author J. K. Rowling's best-selling novel. Casting agents found Watson through her Oxford theatre teacher,[12] and producers were impressed by her confidence. After eight auditions, producer David Heyman told Watson and fellow applicants Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint that they had been cast for the roles of the schoolfriends Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley respectively. Rowling supported Watson from her first screen test.[12]
The release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001 was Watson's debut screen performance. The film broke records for opening-day sales and opening-weekend takings and was the highest-grossing film of 2001.[17][18] Critics praised the performances of the three leads, often singling out Watson for particular acclaim; The Daily Telegraph called her performance "admirable",[19] and IGN said she "stole the show".[20] Watson was nominated for five awards for her performance in Philosopher's Stone, winning the Young Artist Award for Leading Young Actress.[21]
A year later, Watson again starred as Hermione in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second instalment of the series. Reviewers praised the lead actors' performances. The Los Angeles Times said Watson and her peers had matured between films,[22] while The Times criticised director C

TEACHERS called police after Year 11 students started throwing eggs outside their school following a surprise leavers' assembly.
Officers warned The Wye Valley School students and moved them on but some Year 11s claim they were unfairly treated.
The incident occurred after the assembly for school leavers on Thursday, May 8.
The police were forced to return the following day as students again caused trouble after they were refused entry to the building.
It was a sour end to what should have been a happy day for the school as it was the last day that all the year 11s would be together, even though some would be due back for extra lessons.
The school threw a party for the leavers on Thursday in a special assembly, providing them with pizzas and soft drinks in a two-hour celebration.
This came as a surprise to some students who had been expecting their farewell party the following day.
Some branded the school's actions and police intervention as heavy handed.
One anonymous student contacted the Bucks Free Press to say they had been treated disrespectfully and accused the school of bringing forward the leavers' assembly by 24 hours to get rid of them.
The student said: "I would like you to report on the absolute disrespect that The Wye Valley School has subjected Year 11 students to.
"We got into the gym and there was all our leavers hoodies laid out and pizza boxes, to soften the blow if you like.
"Anyway we were then subjected to a rushed, half-hearted leavers assembly, which usually takes place today (Friday, May 9) as with thousands of schools nationwide.
"After this assembly we were told that "today is your last day" with no warning or grounds upon to make the decision. We were then marched out the back of the gymnasium and down the alley parallel to the school.
"We were then told to leave and return for study on Monday. We were not allowed back on the school premises."
But head Andrea Jacobson denied the allegations.
She said: "The Wye Valley School held a celebration event for Y11 on Thursday. This event was planned by the school but, as many other schools do with Year 11, the students didn't know the date of when this would take place.
"It lasted two hours during which the students had a pizza lunch, soft drinks, a Celebration Assembly showing photographs of their school years to music, an opportunity to sign each other's shirts and collected their Y11 'hoodies'. "There was a lovely atmosphere where many kind words were said by staff and students and they enjoyed the occasion."
She added: "The police arrived when the students left school and helped keep the atmosphere calm and positive as the students said their 'goodbyes' to each other."

JMichelle's recommendation
I actually hate milk, but I can agree that this is the best invention ever. It's a mug and blender all in one, perfect for mixing your chocolate milk, and it actually "Moos" while it's blending. I'm not quite sure if it's good for hot chocolate but either way, it makes a great gift for the milk lover.
roxygrl's recommendation
The Talking Moo Mixer is the mooing edition of the classic Moo Mixer. Simply add milk, your favorite powder or syrup, then press the mixer button. This gadget then will sound out a bellowing bovine moo while mixing your chocolate milk to perfection. Great fun for kids and adults alike, the Talking Moo Mixer will be a great addition to your kitchen shelf. Includes a spill free lid

Style 189 wheels and tires
Hi guys,
I am selling my 2008 335i style 189 wheels + TPMS + Runflat tires.
I am looking for $850, $550 for the rims only and I will sell the front tires separately.
The rear rims are like new, the rear tires have not much tread left, the front ones have curb rashes from previous owner, scratching the paint only, no damage, and the front tires are very good.
I am in the Palm Beach area, I would like to sell to someone in Southern FL but shipping is also an option.
The tires are the Michelin Pilot Sport Run flat.
Let me know if interested, I would like to sell them fast
