New Law Allows California State Nursing Schools to Offer the DNP
Press Release
For Immediate Release
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 30, 2010 - On Tuesday, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law Assembly Bill 867, which permits the California State University (CSU) system to launch a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Pilot Program. Previously in the state of California, only schools affiliated with the University of California (UC) system were permitted to offer doctoral degrees in nursing.
"Removing regulatory barriers to higher education in nursing is a critical step to sustaining the momentum for raising educational standards for nurses working in advanced roles," said AACN President Kathleen Potempa. "AACN applauds California's governor and legislature for recognizing the importance of creating greater access to DNP programs and for preparing more nurses at the doctoral level for high demand clinical and faculty positions."
The new law authorizes the California State University to establish DNP programs at three campuses, which may accommodate up to 90 full-time equivalent doctoral students. The DNP pilot program must be designed to enable professionals to earn the degree while working full time, educate nurses for advanced practice roles, and prepare clinical faculty to teach in postsecondary nursing programs. To read the text of the new law, see http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0851-0900/ab_867_bill_20100928_chaptered.html.
"Passage of this bill would not have been possible without the strong advocacy for change on the part of CSU nursing schools and other advocates in the state," added Dr. Potempa. "Their collective efforts have helped to open the doors of opportunity to nurses wishing to complete the terminal practice degree for the nursing profession, the DNP."

hateful man-thing!
let go of my legs!
let me fly! i need to fly!
you must let me go
for i am king of blackbirds!
caw! caw!
where am i?
"this be the man-king's milhaus" said a pretty little blackbird
another squawked "we be the man-king's dinner!"
"don't be silly!" cooed the lovely little bird
and next to her i did fly
caw! caw! caw!
"you must be my queen" said i
"and you my king" said she
and with that we flew up high
into the dark of the rafters
where sweet love we did make
caw! caw… caww… caaaaw
we watched from the safety of our perch
as four and twenty blackbirds
were smoked into oblivion
so they cared not where they were
and the man-things took them all away
caw! caw! caw! caw!
come springtime
we had four little blackbirds
with hungry mouths to feed
my queen, a regal mother
and i, her loving king
this song was found in the comments on another blog ~ LOVE it!
artwork ~ "Shades of Raven" Denise Broussard
{ fair use ~ image found on google.com }
this poem was inspired by the prompts and by the song "Blackbirds" by Erin McKeown which references the old nursery rhyme "Sing A Song of Sixpence" ~
- Sing a song of sixpence,
- A pocket full of rye.
- Four and twenty blackbirds,
- Baked in a pie.
- When the pie was opened,
- The birds began to sing;
- Wasn't that a dainty dish,
- To set before the king?
- The king was in his counting house,
- Counting out his money;
- The queen was in the parlour,
- Eating bread and honey.
- The maid was in the garden,
- Hanging out the clothes;
- When down came a blackbird
- And nipped off her nose.
- There was such a commotion,
- that little Jenny wren;
- Flew down into the garden,
- and put it back again
many interpretations have been placed on this rhyme, but it is known that a 16th-century amusement was to place live birds in a pie, as a form of entremet, which originally was an elaborate form of entertainment dish common among the nobility and upper middle class in Western Europe. live birds were slipped into a baked pie shell through a hole cut in its bottom and would fly out when the pie was cut into at the banquet.

thank you, Julie!
*Anaphora (pronounced "ah-NAF-oh-rah") means "I repeat." Whether in prose or poetry, anaphora is a repetition device where the same expression (word or words) is repeated at the beginning of two or more lines, clauses, sentences or verses. In poetry the repetition of the phrase can be just at the beginning of each line, setting the tone as a kind of meditation or a mantra, or it can be utilized more subtlety within the poem. The poem can be free verse or prose style.

lyrics ~
four and twenty blackbirds
perched o'er the milhaus floor,
four and twenty blackbirds
perched o'er the milhaus floor,
watching a pair of blackbirds
a pair of blackbirds more,
four and twenty blackbirds
perched o'er the milhaus floor.
said one blackbird to the other,
"you must be my queen,"
said one blackbird to the other,
"you must be my queen,"
well, the other replied in turn,
"well, sure enough you my king."
four and twenty blackbirds and
two began to sing.
the queen she sang of milhaus
rising to the sky,
the king he sang of riches baked
in a honey pie.
stick your finger in and taste it
on the sly.
sing a song of six-pence
and a pocketful of rye.
now, the queen she asked that question,
"what makes the milhaus rare?"
the king replied in turn,
"well, tonight it's you so fair."
four and twenty blackbirds
too baked themselves to care,
fly away you dainty dish,
two blackbirds flew upstairs.
when that sun had risen
the rhyming it was through.
when that sun had risen
yeah, yeah, the rhyming it was through.
four and twenty blackbirds
had rhymed that whole night through,
fly away two blackbirds
with nothing left to prove.
you count that blackbird lucky
who first to fly away,
bitter that taste left behind and
the lonesome heart astray.
pity not that blackbird,
the blackbird who must stay,
for having tasted blackbird pie,
baked and on display.
four and twenty blackbirds
four and twenty blackbirds
perched o'er the milhaus floor,
watching a pair
watching a pair of blackbirds
watching a pair of blackbirds
a pair of blackbirds more

500 calories a day is a decent deficit. If you drop too much, you're going to compromise lean muscle mass. The slower your deficit, the more fat vs muscle you'll lose. Do you lift weights? Do you have heavy exercise days? If you do, I recommend cycling your calories - eating maintenance on days you lift or exercise heavy and cutting harder on days you don't. If you work out 3 days a week, cut cals by around 850 on days you rest and eat maintenance the days you don't. That'll help ensure you retain or even build muscle while losing fat, and it'll put you at the same deficit.
Responding to Neckhammer's post, don't let him mislead you. There is no metabolic advantage to a ketogenic diet. It all comes down to the calorie deficit, and if you keep your protein level equivalent, it's not really going to matter what your fat/carbs breakdown comes from as long as you pick whole food sources that keep you full (don't go comparing steak and eggs to flour and sugar). Do not underestimate how stressful on your body a prolonged diet of meat and vegetables can be. Danny Roddy covers a lot of this in his "Your Gut From Hell" series.
Your Gut From Hell, Or: Why The Evolutionary Model of Intestinal Health Is Goofy — The Danny Roddy Weblog
Your Gut From Hell Part II: A Ray Peat Inspired Digestive Primer — The Danny Roddy Weblog
If you're really brave, look at his "Becoming Stress Proof" series.
The orthodox paleo view is ridiculous as it's a completely assumed diet, and it treats carbohydrate as optional and meat and vegetables as king. While it's true your body doesn't need to directly consume carbohydrate to survive, what's essential and what's optimal are two entirely different things. It doesn't address the major issue of excess cortisol and the insanely imbalanced ratio of calcium to phosphate in the Whole 30-style diet. Look around this forum for threads about hair loss and body chills. It's real.
We may not know what the ideal diet is, but we do know that life generally evolved around the Equator where leaner game meats and fruits/tubers reigned. We also know that the majority of traditional civilizations still in existence today consume more carbohydrate than fat. There are very few low carbohydrate societies in comparison, and you probably didn't descend from those societies since the people didn't emigrate to cold climates where fatty game was common until very recently (comparatively).
Just some food for thought. Ultimately, no one can tell you what to eat. You need to find out what you feel best on. But it's a reality that you may feel best eating more carbohydrate than you think. Just choose quality sources of starch and seasonal fruits.

Here comes the iPhone 5S... or not.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) analysts can't agree when the next iPhone will be released. Estimates range from June to September. Some even say the new flagship smartphone has been delayed, due to problems in China.
In IT Blogwatch, bloggers wonder if their next BYOD toy could actually be from Samsung or HTC.
Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment.
Ashleigh Allsopp analyzes analysts' assumptions:
Analysts are maintaining their predictions that Apple will launch...later this year...a new model of its flagship smartphone, dubbed iPhone 5S or iPhone 6.
...Amit Daryanani said in a note to investors on Friday that he has spoken to sources [about] "multiple new phones" in June or July...an 'iPhone 5S' and a cheaper iPhone, dubbed iPhone mini.
...Gene Munster has again been forecasting Apple's product launch plans...suggesting that a new iPhone will arrive in late June. ... [But he] predicts that Apple's low-cost iPhone will arrive at a later date...possibly in the September quarter. MORE
But Jay Yarow begs to differ:
While it's possible the iPhone comes out in June, we think Munster might be off on this one.
...Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said he's hearing Apple pushed the release of the iPhone 5S...to the July-September time frame because it was having some manufacturing issues. MORE
So Jonny Evans looks deeper:
Munster's note warns that the impact of continued economic meltdown...will affect Apple...predicting the company will deliver results at the low end of its $41-$43 billion guidance. [So] it's of little surprise Munster remains certain Apple will introduce a new and lower-cost iPhone configuration.
...The smartphone sector is deeply competitive, with Android device makers competing on price. ...given the general decline in consumer and enterprise spending...the game's becoming desperate. MORE
Philip Elmer-DeWitt is similarly bearish:
Gene Munster [is] warning that the company will have to get through a dry patch before things start looking up again.
...All in all, it's a pretty pessimistic outlook from one of Apple's most loyal and enthusiastic supporters. MORE
And Chris Bibey piles on:
While [Munster] is not the only analyst out there who is keeping a close watch on [Apple] he is typically first to the party with breaking news and future predictions. ...hedge funds have started dumping the Cupertino-based company. ... Munster is joining a host of other analysts who are lowering expectations.
...However, Munster doesn't feel that everything is doom and gloom. ... He believes that investors will be able to see past its current struggles, focusing on a second half of 2013. MORE
Meanwhile, Eric just points and laughs:
68% of content between now and August...expected to be intangible and inadequately researched Apple articles, says analyst.. MORE

On brink of title, Heat's Big 3 enjoy the ride
MIAMI – Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra loves to talk about the "journey," the idea that nothing worthwhile is easy, but the reward — maybe even redemption for this team — is joyous in unimaginable ways.
Pain and disappointment are necessary, as the Heat know only too well.
"It's been well documented the experience we went through last year," Spoelstra said of expectations LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh so boldly set that flamed out in the NBA Finals loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
They are one win from the euphoria today, 48 minutes of basketball from altering perceptions and reality.

COLUMN: Lopresti: Heat radiate Riley's winning aura
MORE: Durant must own the fourth for OKC to survive
Up 3-1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals, the Heat can win the first title in the Big 3 era at home today (9 p.m. ET, ABC).
USA TODAY Sports on Twitter!
Follow Jeff Zillgitt on Twitter at @usat_jzillgitt. To get the latest sports news from USA TODAY, including game results, columns and features, follow us on Twitter at @USATODAYSports.
"You've got to absolutely immerse yourself into the process and the focus. It's Game 5. We want to treat it as a Game 7," Spoelstra said.
Heat President Pat Riley assembled this team in the summer of 2010 to win "not one, not two" but multiple championships. Forwards James and Bosh and guard Wade — who has a ring from leading the Heat to the 2006 title — have accepted that it's championship or bust.
"I'm the leader of this team, and I'm not comfortable right now," James said Wednesday. "I'm comfortable in my game, but I'm not going to be comfortable until we seal this thing."
Unlike a year ago.
At the end of the Mavericks' Game 6 victory that brought Dallas its first NBA title, owner Mark Cuban hugged coach Rick Carlisle — on Miami's court.
Wade walked off with his head down, James went straight to the locker room, unable to watch Dallas' celebration, and Bosh collapsed in a corridor, overcome by emotions.
The grieving period lasted a couple of weeks, and the Heat went back to the grind.
Wade worked on strength and stamina.
"I tried to work on my body so I could be strong enough to make it all the way through and be as strong as I can at the end of the season," said Wade, 30, who still missed 17 games of the abbreviated and compressed regular season and has had a knee drained at least once in the playoffs.
Bosh contemplated the psychological side.
"It was just thinking about those moments we had in last year's Finals," Bosh said. "It was more so mental than anything else. Just building that will to win in important situations. We're just now seeing all that stuff, all the work we did in the summer. That comes to fruition now."
How did he build that will to win?
"Going through the bad situations and having all summer to think about ifs and would'ves and could'ves and should'ves and just living with that gut-wrenching pain every single day," Bosh said.
James dominates in paint
But so much of the Heat's journey has been focused on James, an extraordinary athlete lacking a title into his ninth NBA season.
Spoelstra talked with college football coaches to better learn how to use James and Wade together in basketball's version of the spread offense.
And James did what he has done every offseason: worked on a part of his game that needed improvement. This time it was his low-post game, which was non-existent against the Mavericks in the Finals. Why wasn't he taking advantage of his uncommon mix of strength, size and finesse — a combination of Karl Malone and Allen Iverson— to dominate opponents?
James chose to work out with one of the best, Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon. "I've talked to him three times since the postseason started," James said.
He spent a week in Houston working with Olajuwon on post moves. Now, driving to the basket or posting up, James is nearly unguardable. Of his 42 made field goals against Oklahoma City, 35 have been in the paint, including 29 at the rim.
"Staying in the post will get you easy buckets," James said, relaying the instruction Olajuwon delivered. "He also tells me to continue to have fun. That's the thing he noticed with me this year. He's seen me have a lot of fun, and I give a lot of thanks to him for allowing me to go down there and work with him for that week."
Last season, James was criticized for not being a clutch player in the Finals. In clutch time against the Thunder — the final five minutes of a game when neither team leads or trails by more than five points — James ranks first, with 14 points, shooting 4-for-7 from the field and 5-for-6 on free throws.
His growth off the court found its own journey.
Away from basketball, his demeanor is relaxed and focused. It's not just his voracious appetite for books, although that is a part of it.
"It just slows my mind down," James said. "It just gives me another outlet. … Those couple hours of the day or those 20 minutes, 25 minutes before the game just gives me an opportunity to read and think about something else and get a sense of what else is going on besides the game of basketball.
"It's made me comfortable."
He has revealed more about his shortcomings, admitting at the start of this year's Finals that he played below his standards in last year's. He lamented his 2011 Finals performance again Wednesday.
"Last year, after Game 6, after losing, once again, I was very frustrated," James said. "I was very hurt that I let my teammates down, and I was very immature.
"Like I said, last year I played to prove people wrong instead of just playing my game, instead of just going out and having fun and playing a game that I grew up loving and why I fell in love with the game.
"So I was very immature last year after Game 6 towards you guys and towards everyone that was watching.
"One thing that I learned, and someone taught me this," James said, "the greatest teacher you can have in life is experience."
Figuring out how to win
The journey for the Heat hasn't been easy. It's not supposed to be.
They trailed the Indiana Pacers 2-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals and won, despite losing Bosh in the opener to a lower abdominal strain that sidelined him for nine games.
Down 3-2 against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals, Miami forced a Game 7 and won the series.
The Heat opened the Finals on the road and lost Game 1 to the Thunder. But three touch-and-go victories have followed.
They figured out how to win without Bosh, who didn't return until late in the series against the Celtics.
They figured out how to win with Bosh coming off the bench and eventually when he returned to the starting lineup.
Perhaps, the Heat have figured it all out. At least for this season.
"My approach won't change and it won't be difficult," James said. "I have a job to do, and my job is not done."

Much has been said about the huge divide that exists between the harsh conditions facing many North Korean citizens, and the opulence in which their leaders live. Even so, this recent GQ profile of Kenji Fujimoto, who worked for many years as Kim Jong-il's official chef, is eye-opening. It's a disturbing yet fascinating story of tyranny, debauchery, political intrigue and corruption, broken relationships, treason… and sushi.

Choosing the best carrier for your smartphone
The dust has settled with new releases for now, and you're ready to buy a new smartphone. That's exciting. But hardware is only half the decision. Now you need to choose your cellular provider.
It's not a decision to make lightly, because you're locking yourself into a two-year commitment. The cost of changing your mind is dear — the major carriers now charge a $350 early termination fee.
If you have chosen an iPhone, you have three choices for service: AT&T, Verizon and now Sprint. If you aren't buying an iPhone, you're best choice for smartphone service is likely still one of those, so I'll confine my comments to these three.
MORE: Komando columns
The three networks generally provide good nationwide coverage, but reception can be iffy on the local level because of terrain and tower locations. In addition, some carriers have better data pipelines than voice pipelines.
If you listen to my national radio show, you've probably heard me refer to AT&T as having "no bars in more places." There are still areas in my hometown of Phoenix where my calls get dropped. That's annoying, and just shouldn't happen this late in the smartphone game. Fortunately, it is getting better.
In Phoenix, Verizon has better call coverage than AT&T. AT&T, on the other hand, offers better data speeds. It may be just the opposite where you live. Ask friends and family about their cellular reception experience in your area. You could check the coverage maps, but nothing beats the honest opinion of a trusted friend.
Your first priority when choosing a carrier is to make sure you get good coverage at home and in the parts of town where you spend the most time. After that, I'd pick a plan and carrier based on how you will use the smartphone.
Sprint is your best choice if you're going to be a data hog. For $100 a month, Sprint has the Simply Everything plan. This gives you unlimited voice minutes, text messages and data.
If you don't need unlimited voice minutes, there are less expensive plans. However, these all have unlimited text messaging, and unlimited data can be added for $10.
You can also add Mobile Hotspot capability to any plan for an extra $30. This lets you share your Internet with mobile gadgets around you.
AT&T is your only choice among the Big 3 if you're going to need to talk and surf the Internet at the same time. This is because it uses GSM network technology. This means, for example, you can look up directions to a location while confirming plans with someone on the phone.
AT&T has taken a beating in the past for its network quality. However, it has worked to improve its network and claims it currently offers the fastest 3G speeds for iPhone users.
I'd also recommend AT&T if you're a very light data user. It's the only carrier to offer a 200MB data plan for $15 per month. If you want more data, the 2GB plan costs a competitive $25 and the 4GB plan $45. All plans 4GB and above include the Mobile Hotspot feature.
Voice calling plan prices are $39.99 for 450 minutes, $59.99 for 900 minutes and $69.99 for unlimited. AT&T does have an unlimited texting plan for $20. However, the other plans are pay-as-you go: 20 cents per text or 30 cents per picture/video text. That's a good choice if you only text occasionally.
Verizon usually comes out on top when customers are surveyed nationally about quality of network coverage and reliability. If you're an average user, it's probably your best overall choice.
Especially if you travel frequently with business or often take calls in elevators, there's a good chance Verizon will irritate you the least.
The carrier's lowest tier for data, 2GB, costs $30 per month for new customers, which is $5 more than AT&T. You'll pay $50 per month for the 4GB plan, which is again $5 more than AT&T.
Over 5GB, all the plans are less than the AT&T equivalent. In fact, the 10GB and 12GB plans are $25 less. That's substantial savings over AT&T if you need that much data.
Verizon also offers the Mobile Hotspot feature. However, it's only included on the 4GB, 7GB and 12GB plans.
Voice call plans are identical to AT&T, but Verizon has an edge if you're a midrange text user. Like AT&T, Verizon has a $20 unlimited texting plan. But you can also pay $5 per month for 250 texts or $10 for 500. With AT&T's pay-as-you-go texting, 250 texts would be around $50.

The January snowstorm that left more than 30 inches of snow also left a chunky bill for cleanup in Bethlehem Township, where officials hope to be reimbursed about $60,000 in federal disaster funds.
The reimbursement would come from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and pay for the labor, equipment and materials used during and after the Jan. 22-23 storm.
Township Manager Melissa Shafer said that during the storm, the 17 employees of the township's Public Works Department each worked 40 hours — 680 hours in all — during the two-day storm at a cost of $25,628.
The cost is a rate determined by Federal Emergency Management Agency, which funds the state agency....

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Will work for biltong"
"R110/kg jys van jou vokken kop af!!"
"Hey, this tastes a lot better than what we got back home!"
"This stuff may safe the world one day"
Biltong spelled bijltong or just biltong is a type of raw, cured or dried meat snack popular to the Afrikaner population of South Africa and is vital to their existance. Biltong can be made of virtually any kind of meat be it game, beef, ostrich, human (less popular), crocodile, snake, monkey, dog, fish, cheetah or elephant with the exception of kittens. The word biltong is from the Dutch bil ("beak") and tong ("toung") and can be directily translated as buffalo-tongue. Biltong is similar to the American snack beef jerky with the exeption that it tastes a lot better.
edit Origin
The history of biltong has a humble beginning, starting when the Dutch settlers came from Europe to South Africa in the early 17th century in need of some better place to expand their empire. Upon arriving they noticed a decline in their livestock and found that the native black folk stole their cattle for no apparent reason. Something had to be done to prevent this from happening, so die boer maak 'n plan. The settlers decided to slaughter all their livestock themselves, cure it, spice it and dry it out to make the taste unbareble to the native folk. Thus solving the refrigeration problem, cementing its status as the favourite meal of the typical Afrikaner.
edit Ingredients
The ingredients were bestowed upon the settlers by God after 2 weeks of continuous prayer.
The most common ingredients in biltong are:
Other ingredients may include meat, spices, chilli peppers, worcestershire sauce and meat.
edit Importance of biltong in South Africa
Biltong is the most important cullinary substance in South Africa. Biltong is the prominant fuel source, staple diet, table snack, medicine and aphrodisiac for the typical Afrikaner. Without it their culture may be lost.
A possible example of the importance of biltong was in 1994, when a shortage of biltong rendered the Afrikaners catatonic and led to the ANC winning the election and ruled Nelson Mandela as the first black president of South Africa leaving the country scarred and desolate. Since then the ANC made sure the Afrikaners will never take back the presidential seat by keeping the biltong production to a minimum.
As a result most Afrikaners purchase their biltong on the black market or make it themselves.
edit Types of biltong
Because eating teh same type of food is boring the Afrikaners started making a big vealriety of biltongs. These may include:
edit Plain Beef
Consistantly the most common and popular type of biltong on the market due to the simplicity and the Afrikaner's reluctance to change. Plain beef may be purchased in its plain form, chopped, diced, sliced or alive. Plain biltong is often eaten with a carving knive to ensure the perfect bite size peace is cut off and to look like a real dik boer.
edit Snapsticks
Biltong made into smaller stick like snacks, these are more common at garages and quick-stop-shops due to the ease of eating them in your car during a road trip.
edit Chilli Bites
Not for the meak! These snacks, although similar in shape to the Snapsticks, are known for their extreme chilliness. It is said that Rambo once kak'ed himself upon tasting one of these delightful treats. The typical Afrikaner male may consume a whole serving of chilli bites, without pause, due to its addictive flavour.
edit Droë Wors
Also known as Dry Sausage in english, not to be confused with biltong.
edit Fine Ground Biltong
Not as common as the other types. Fine Ground Biltong can often be found in young Afrikaner's lunchboxes spread on bread. The other more popular way of consuming this product is to snort it like cocaine
NOTE: Biltong is always eaten with bare hands (sometimes a carving knive is used), no matter what type of biltong it is.
edit Biltong in comparison to jerky
- Biltong is made of real meat, unlike jerky that is made of pussy meat.
- The taste of biltong is a burst of flavour that is compared only to consuming 5g of shrooms and drinking 12 Redbulls, then snorting 3 lines of pure cocaine before french-kissing Megan Fox. Compared to biltong, jerky tastes like cardboard.
- Eating biltong may result in unexplained muscle growth, a thick Afrikaans Accent, increased penis size and a desire to watch sports like rugby. Eating jerky may result in the American-sindrome.
edit Biltong Worldwide
Due to the popularity rise in biltong as a result of the 2010 Soccer World Cup and its addictive taste, the demand in biltong has increaced exponentially worldwide.
Some countries like Britain have outright banned biltong fearing the Afrikaner population in Britan would start to revolt and take over Europe.

We reccomended to all our friends and everyone loves it! GO THERE! You will eat wonderfully in one of the nicest places in Chelsea, without spending a fortune!
This place was the worst restaurant that I have visited in the last months. It took hours to get the food on the table. And the food is nothing special, complicated to make or very delicious. It is just simple italian fare. It was not a busy night at all but the kitchen has its own priorities. The prices , however, are exhorbitant for what you get. The girls who serve you, are indeed quite pretty but they don't know anything about the food or the wine. The guys who pretend to manage the restaurant don't do anything apart from being macho itaiian at the front door. This restauarant is the worst I ever have visited since years.

The city of Glendora on Monday began contracting its animal control services through the Inland Valley Humane Society, directing residents to the organization's website for information on dog licensing, stray pickup and 24-hour emergency services.
The City Council approved the switch from using the Glendora Police Department's animal control division to IVHS at the June 11 council meeting. The contract offers more comprehensive services for the same price, Glendora Capt. Tim Staab said.
"Our budgeted amount for animal control is $220,000 and Inland Valley will come in and provide the same services for the exact same amount," Staab said. "It's a three-year contract and they will provide full animal control services and sheltering, respond to all animal control problems in Glendora and conduct licensing for dogs in the city."
IVHS also will investigate any crimes involving animals and report their findings to the county, Staab said.
"We're very excited that they (Glendora) have decided to allow us to provide animal control services for the city," said Bill Harford, executive director of the Inland Valley Humane Society. "The transition between the police department and us has been very cooperative so far."
The Glendora Police Department had been the provider of animal control services since 1976, though the department had been hit with serious cuts in the last few years, dropping from four full-time employees to one full-time and one part-time employee, Chief Rob Castro said at the June 11 meeting.
With the switch, the part-time employee was reassigned to another position in the police department, Staab said.
"We negotiated the contract with Inland Valley Humane so that, if we were going to sign with them, they would offer positions" to the affected Glendora employees, Staab said. "They have a year to decide if, should Inland Valley have an opening, they would want to go over there at a comparable position."
Dog licensing fees will continue to go to Glendora and Staab said that, given the resources IVHS has, the new contract might result in an increase in revenues.
"Dog licensing had been done by employees but it was difficult to enforce," he said. "They (IVHS) have a comprehensive way to canvass neighborhoods and conduct licensing enforcement checks."
With licensing now available on the IVHS website, more dogs might become licensed by the city, he said, bringing the price of the contract closer to cost-neutral.
IVHS is contracted with nine cities to provide full animal control services in the San Gabriel and Inland valleys, including Pomona, Chino, Diamond Bar and La Verne. Glendora is the 10th city to contract full services, and has used IVHS as a sheltering service for the past 15 years.
"We're very happy with the level of service they provide," said San Dimas Assistant City Manager Ken Duran. The city has contracted with IVHS for decades, he said, and is in the third of a three-year contract for full animal control services. The city's current contract pays a base rate of $126,000 per year, though the organization collects all of the licensing and other fees and charges the city for any additional costs.
"We've been a client of theirs for over 50 years and we're very happy with them," La Verne City Manager Bob Russi said. "They are generally responsive when it comes to animal control calls; obviously if there are competing calls they come out when they can but for the most part, they're there."
Inland Valley's Harford said the organization will be tracking the city's needs to determine whether additional staff will be needed, though he anticipated adding at least one more field officer to the staff.
"This morning we already had five calls for service," he said Monday afternoon. "We're monitoring the situation closely to make sure we can provide top quality service to the city of Glendora."

From all-creatures.org
Alita was a beautiful young hispanic woman, who had to quit college in order to work and support her ailing mother, who desperately needed a liver transplant. She only needed a few months to finish her studies, however her mother needed her then and couldn't wait.
Without a college degree, Alita was forced to take a job as a maid with a cleaning service, who catered to the rich and affluent. She was assigned to the Reynolds estate, which was lived in by a wealthy young man named Reginald.
When she walked through the front door for the first time, Reginald couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She looked like a princess of nobel bloodlines. When she introduced herself to him all he could say was, "abba abba do me", which meant nothing in any language. What he meant to say was nice to meet you, but it didn't come out that way.
As Alita's mother took a turn for the worse and could no longer wait for an operation, she could only think of one way to save her...steal!
One night, Alita entered Reginald's estate and opened the front door of his mansion with the key that he had given her, so she could clean on week day mornings. She walked into the house around midnight in hopes of finding something she could steal that wouldn't be easily missed, something she could then sell and use to help pay for her mother's operation that was so desperately needed.
As she walked into the drawing room, she made her way to the fireplace and removed the painting from above it, believing it to be of great value. Just then, Reginald walked into the room wearing his blue striped, silk pajamas, that were a little baggy in the legs and no slippers, standing there in his bare feet.
She should have been scared, but she found his little lost boy look adorable. All he needed was a teddy bear and he would be set.
The fact she was caught in the act of stealing from him gave Reginald the courage he normally did not have. He walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek.
Three months later, they were married and returned to his estate, this time...she as his bride. He of course paid for her mother's operation, who eventually got better and came to live with them. He saw royalty in Alita...and maybe...there was.
Moral: Look past a person's actions and when possible, reach out to the undeserving. After all, aren't we all!

Religion and modern communication
There has been considerable amount of research on how commodification and the Internet are transforming the religious lives of young people. For young Muslims, Internet use is an important means of building a consensus about, for example, whether the use of henna for cosmetic purposes is compatible with Muslim tradition or whether dating and premarital intimacies are compatible with the life of a "good Muslim." Whereas the religious system of communication in an age of revelation was hierarchical, unitary, and authoritative, the system of communicative acts in a new media environment are typically horizontal rather than vertical, diverse and fragmented rather than unitary, devolved rather than centralized. Furthermore, the authority of any message is constantly negotiable and negotiated. The growth of these diverse centers of interpretation in a global communication system has produced considerable instability in the formal system of religious belief and practice.Read the rest of Religion and modern communication.

Once again, the Utah Eagle Forum is spoiling my day, this time by defending Utah Attorney General John Swallow ("Utah Dems want to join GOP talks on Swallow impeachment," Tribune, June 17).
The Eagle Forum argues that the media is unfairly persecuting Swallow and that impeaching him would be costly and disruptive to the office and discourage good candidates from running.
Leaving Swallow in office is costly and disruptive to public trust in the office. Impeaching him will encourage good candidates to run by restoring integrity to the office.
I value the media's involvement. I certainly do not think I will get unbiased information from the Eagle Forum.

That's me in the goofy brown and green sweater, reading a customized version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar; that's my wife talking about the puppet show we did at our local farmers' market.
As you'll see in the video above, we were part of a group that involved almost 20 San Francisco families called "Bees and Butterflies," whose mission was to explore the life-cycles of bees and butterflies and to introduce basic ecological concepts to our kids. Want to start your own neighborhood group? My pal Olivia Boler describes how we did it over at Shareable.net.
I once wrote an essay for Greater Good magazine about how my circle of families came together in our San Francisco neighborhood, Noe Valley — a process that has resulted in numerous community-building spinoffs. Our urban tribe went on to form a cooperative preschool and, as Olivia describes in her "Bees and Butterflies" piece, a neighborhood group designed to connect our kids to nature, among other projects. As I think is revealed in both Olivia's article and my own, these activities enriched all our families' lives in countless ways.
The Bees and Butterflies group was initiated and basically run by moms, with lots of father involvement. In my experience, that's pretty typical. Most of these moms were the primary caregivers, and I think they really enjoyed the meetings at night, when they'd get together sans kids and partners to plan the group's activities over dinner and wine. That's fine with me; they deserve nights out, and they do great work.
But, as has been noted in many places, the estrogen-drenched atmosphere of these meetings can keep dads away, even if everybody wants them to be there and involved.
That shouldn't stop dads from organizing their own activities (as well as trying to find a place for themselves in mom-dominated groupings). As I write in the Greater Good essay, I was very deliberate in building a community for my son. "You have to work very hard to have a community here," says my friend Viru Gupte, who was raised in a cooperative and tightly knit urban community in India. "It requires planning." Viru and I organized playgroups, all-dad-and-kids museum trips, monthly brunches, and lots of other stuff, with the help of other dads and moms.
As a result of all these regular, planned activities, our bonds tightened and we started helping each other out in various ways. We set up weekly kid swaps so that the parents could take turns going out on dates, and we all developed genuine affection for each other's children.
One day on a beach outing, reported our friend Jackie Adams, a woman next to our little gang said she "couldn't tell which kids were connected to which parents because all of the adults gave equal amounts of attention to each kid, and each kid seemed familiar and comfortable with each of us."
Scientists have a name for this kind of behavior: alloparenting, where individuals in addition to the actual parents take on responsibility for children. "Among humans living in foraging societies," writes the anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy in her 1999 book Mother Nature, "a helpful mate and/or alloparents were usually essential for a mother to rear any infant at all."
In recent American history, childcare fell exclusively to mothers and their female relativesbut perhaps economic and social changes are rendering that arrangement obsolete. In a time when biological families are scattered across the world, we might once again be seeing a need for dads and other adults to form voluntary tribes that can share in the care and rearing of children.
The need is there–but for many Americans, that need isn't being met. Many of today's moms and dads have spent their adult lives chasing jobs and fleeing their relatives, and so they must forge new communities virtually from scratch. Many studies have found that Americans are spending more time alone, and 25 percent now say that they have no close friendstwice as many as two decades ago. This loneliness is linked to mental and physical health problems.
Dads might want to see themselves as more tough and self-reliant than moms, but they are not immune to the effects of isolation. In fact, many studies find that new fathers are plagued by feelings of depression and anxiety, and at least one recent study finds that stay-at-home dads are especially susceptible to stress-related illnesses.
So, dads, whether you're the breadwinner, the caregiver, and a little bit of both, do what you can to build community and community organizations. It's good for your kids, good for your mental and physical health, and good for our world.

Saltwater isn't "harder" but more work for sure and much more money
My 120 gal reef has 6 grand intO it.
At first setup your looking at 6-8 weeks for a nitrogen cycle to complete before you add fish
Then u will have to check ammonia nitrite nitrate and your salinity
If you have /want corals you will need to check your alk. Calcium magnesium phosphate levels
PH is a waste of time trying to get to a certain number
Consistency is more important (for all levels)
The co2 in the air in your house will drive down the ph so if the tank room door is closed with people in it like a bedroom vs having door open woth no onein there the ph will be different. so its a waste of time trying to buffer it.
Nothing good in saltwater happens fast patience is key

|Finance Bill (Except Clauses 1, 15, 17 and 19)
Mr. Clifton-Brown: And before lunch.
Mr. Green: Indeed, as my hon. Friend points out, before lunch. That may be a record, and we look forward to welcoming back the hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton after lunch.
Mr. Gibb: Would my hon. Friend agree that it is odd to see Liberal Democrat Members on the Opposition Benches? Given the new stance of the right hon. Member for Yeovil (Mr. Ashdown), perhaps the hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton should be sitting on the Government Benches.
The Chairman: Order. I suggest that the hon. Member for Ashford does not follow the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton down that road.
Mr. Green: Indeed, under your guidance, Mr. McWilliam, I shall not--not least because, to be fair, when Liberal Democrat Members have been here, they have by and large voted with us. For all the problems that the right hon. Member for Yeovil has in mistakenly supporting the Government on some policies, on the Finance Bill, even Liberal Democrats have realised during our proceedings that most clauses are badly drafted, ill thought out and actively damaging. That is why Liberal Democrats have often joined us in voting against Government proposals. The broad thrust of the amendment would improve the clause. Anyone who reads a Finance Bill carefully can distinguish between clauses that relate to Government policy and those which relate to Treasury and Revenue policy. Clause 44 is one of the latter. The Clause serves no purpose for the Government as far as the budget is concerned. I suspect that many of the Government's friends and associates would find its provisions actively damaging.
I received the letter from the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive--as did the hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton and, I am sure, all other members of the Committee--complaining about the extremely damaging effects that the clause's provisions would have on the supertram project. When I found out that that letter had been sent to every member of the Committee, I thought that at last we might hear contributions from Government members because Labour seats and Labour district councils would be most affected by the proposal. When we reach the stage where Labour controlled authorities have to appeal to Conservative and Liberal Democrat Committee Members to protect them from the depredations of the Labour Government, the conspiracy of silence, which has been imposed on the Government Back Benches throughout our debate, is damaging the wider interests of the Labour party.
Mr. Geraint Davies: May I ask the hon. Gentleman, who keeps saying that Labour Committee members are mute, whether he is deaf?
Mr. Green: Yesterday I said that no Labour Members had made a contribution. I enjoyed greatly, however, the hon. Gentleman's contribution this morning, although I would welcome another contribution from him later on this specific point. If he is prepared to defend the clause to the South Yorkshire passenger transport executive and the Labour district councils that are involved in that project, I am sure that they--and the Government Front Bench--would be grateful to hear his remarks.
The amendment is expecially welcome because, as the hon. Member for Kingston and Surbiton has said--
It being One o'clock, The Chairman adjourned the Committee without Question put, pursuant to the Standing Order.
Adjourned till this day at half-past Four o'clock.
The following Members attended the Committee:

Harambee Stars coach Henri Michel attributed fitness levels as the main reason for their defeat against Tanzania in a friendly match staged on Wednesday.
Michel who watched on the touchline as his team went down 1-0 added tat they will work on their mistakes.
"The reason we lost could be due to fatigue. The players had just wrapped up the season while the foreign-based players had flown and the time they arrived and played they were drained," he told supersport.com.
"We know the mistakes that we did against Tanzania and we are working on correcting them before we are involved in our next match."
He also aired his views on the absence of Celtic defensive midfielder Victor Wanyama and Ullensaker/Kisa goalkeeper Arnold Origi.
"I can't say it's because of the duo's absence that we didn't win, they can be replaced by quality players when unavailable."
He added that he was yet to hear from the federation in regards to Cecafa Tusker Cup.
"The federation will respond to that because I don't have a team list with me."
Kenya has been grouped alongside Uganda, Ethiopia and South Sudan in the upcoming regional competition that kicks off 24th November to 8th December in Kampala.

The big resorts all have informative websites to attract your business, and there are several Web-based guides that give you an industrywide view for comparison shopping.
Thinking about Vail —vail.snow.com— which offers 34 lifts and 193 trails, and advertises an average 346 inches of powder each year? Look under "The Mountain" for the virtual tour and webcams, and then go to "Vacation Planning" to see if the lift tickets fit your budget. You'll need to look into "Lodging," where you can use the interactive map to look for a spot if you know the area, or go through "book online."
Want to try something else? Breckenridge —breckenridge.snow.com— boasts that 32% of its trails are for experts, including Lake Chutes with a 55-degree pitch. When you click on "The Mountain" to check the lift ticket prices, look for the "Perfect 10" package that gives you 10 days at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Heavenly. If this resort attracts you, drop by the town of Breckenridge —www.gobreck.com— to learn more about the area.
Still shopping around? Telluride —www.tellurideskiresort.com— says it stays relatively uncrowded, so you don't have to fight for space on the lift. And it offers a free gondola connecting the towns of Telluride and Mountain Village. Look under "Ski Resort" for lift ticket prices, maps and schools. Then check out "Activities" to learn about the spa, cultural activities to enjoy when you're too worn out to ski any more, shopping (new clothes make you ski better, right?) and heli-skiing for an airborne lift to take you way out to the untracked powder. Telluride.com —www.telluride.com— has more data on places to stay and package deals.
Would you like something smaller with a bit of unexpected luxury? Sunlight Mountain Resort —www.sunlightmtn.com— has just 70 trails. But it's in the town of Glenwood Springs, which boasts hot springs, and the Hot Springs Lodge & Pool —www.hotspringspool.com— has a pool that's 400 feet long, 100 feet wide and a constant 90 degrees.
Need a bigger selection? The Colorado Ski Resort Guide —www.coloradoskicountry.com— has detailed profiles on two dozen, from Arapahoe to Wolf Creek. Run through the list to learn about spots such as Ski Cooper, "one of the kinder, gentler ski areas," according to the guide.
You might also try Colorado Ski Country —www.coloradoski.com— which offers fewer details but a fancier interactive map. Run through a smaller list at Ski Colorado —www.skicolorado.com— which provides a reservation service.

North Bali's once thriving grape growing industry is now threatened with near extinction. Bali Post reports that many grape farmers are choosing to either abandon their vineyards or to dig up their vines and return their land to more profitable forms of agriculture.A visit to the villages of Temukus, Banjar and Kalianget on February 28, 2011, revealed that many vineyards are now planted with wet rice. On the north side of the Singaraja-Seririt highway, near the village of Kalianget, farmers were seen digging up grape vines as a nearby sign offered the land "for sale.""Maybe the owners have suffered losses for too long, so it's better just to sell the land," explained a local, Gede Mariasa, who was collecting leaves to feed his livestock. The man said that the digging up of grape vines was common in the area as farmers were losing money due to the continuing heavy rain fall in the area."What you see is just on the side of the road. If you walk further inland you find even more vineyards converted to rice growing or, in some cases, just left uncultivated," said Mariasa who also owns a vineyard on a nearby beach.Because of continuing losses Mariasa plans to remove his grape vines and plant rice on the land. Each year his grape production has declined and the cost of the herbicides and fertilizers needed to cultivate grapes is outside his economic reach. "The profit at harvest can be as little as Rp. 300,000 (US$33). It's more profitable to work on construction projects," the man added.Other farmers in the area report that bad harvest, the high cost of production and low market prices for grapes have caused an increasing number of farmers to abandon their grape crops since 2007.

This past Wednesday, I wanted to play something but couldn't make up my mind. I was using my PS3 and I looked at all the games that I had on my hard drive. Around 50. Then I looked at the games I had on my shelf. Around 20. Most of these games I hadn't even finished playing yet. I was completely overwhelmed by my options and I hadn't even gotten to my Xbox 360 and PC collection, not to mention my 3DS and older game consoles. I had my hard drive full and adding to that, I had games that I couldn't install from PS Plus due to the lack of room. If I wanted to try a demo, no room to do so.
I decided I needed a fresh start. I needed to only play games I knew I wanted to play then and there. So I cleaned out my PS3 hard drive of all my installed games. They were all on my account so I knew I could get them again when I needed to. This game me focus towards what I would play next. I ended up playing flOw, Flower, and Journey, three games I never played before and I completed them. Short games, sure, but that was more than I had been able to do recently. I loved those games so much and I'm happy to have completed them. My tactic seems to be working. I'm playing Sleeping Dogs now and Battlefield 3 is next. The only issue I see coming up is Grand Theft Auto V comes out tomorrow and I don't know if I can not help picking it up.
Have you ever just wiped your collection clean in some way to give yourself clarity as to what to play next?

So your concluding comments hit it right on for me. Those are the elements that wowed me and gave me lasting memories that make me want to come back to the game.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from small compact but packs a punch Bought this a year ago for christmas, it has the best travel case and small size makes it perfect to take anywhere unlike the sonic care it replaced. The brush tells you when to switch sections of the teeth, almost makes it too easy to brush every day!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from You'll never go back to standard toothbrush! My absolute favorite thing about this toothbrush is the way it makes your teeth feel. You know how amazingly soft your teeth are after the dentist? That is how my teeth feel every day now that I have started using this toothbrush! I don't know how it gets my teeth so smooth, maybe it's because the head of the toothbrush moves up and down (different from all other electric toothbrushes) whatever it is, it works better than any other electric toothbrush I have tried! Before I got this toothbrush, brushing my teeth was the most tedious part of my morning and nighttime routines. I would usually rush through, just to get it done. Now I actually enjoy brushing my teeth. The timer is amazing. It pauses every 30 seconds to alert you to move to a different quadrant of you mouth. After 2 minutes it pauses twice to signal that you're all done. You'll never have to guess if you have brushed enough ever again! This toothbrush comes with 3 different heads. One normal one and one pointed one to get in those hard to reach spots and one for your gums. I don't have the straightest teeth so I am a big fan of the pointed brush. It also has two modes, a soft mode for your gums and a stronger one for your teeth, it always powers on using gentle vibrations for 2 seconds, before reaching normal speed. Everything about the toothbrush is well thought out. It is super easy to clean and the stand is perfect. It holds your toothbrush and extra brushes perfectly, I mounted mine on the wall so it's out of the way. If you are hesitating go ahead an buy this toothbrush. You won't regret it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Excellent Vibration Toothbrush This toothbrush does an excellent job of cleaning teeth and stimulating gums. It has three brush heads. The point brush is my favorite to gently clean in between teeth and gums in all the tight places. The silicon brush is designed to stimulate the gums and it does an amazing job of doing it! The triple edge brush is for the usual cleaning of the teeth surfaces. When I first started using this toothbrush I had some tickling which I understand is normal when first starting to use an electronic toothbrush. Now that has subsided. It has two modes you can utilize, the powerful mode and the soft mode. I find I use the soft mode most often as that is what works well for me as I have sensitive teeth. I find the timer extremely useful, because I have been prone to not brushing each area as long as I should be. The timer makes it easy! Overall, I find that my teeth are cleaner since I have started using this great toothbrush. Also my gums are not as sensitive and their health is improving. I had a recent dental visit and my hygienist commented that she thought I had been doing a much better job of brushing (I can thank this toothbrush for that)! The movement of this toothbrush is up and down and is different than other ones on the market. It is very effective! I love the long battery life as well. It would be great for travelling, if you powered it up before you left there is no need to take the base with the battery life being as long as it is. Their is a case included which fits the brush and all the heads. This is a fantastic toothbrush which I intend to enjoy using for many years to come.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Toothbrush This was my second experience with an electronic toothbrush. I have used a different brand prior to this one. Once opening the package I was very happy with the fact that the package included 3 cool brushes. So I can get a different ways of cleaning my teeth. That was different comparing to another brush Ive previously used. After using the brush my teeth felt clean and it was very easy to use. The brush was light and felt comfortable in my hands. I liked that there was an included timer, so I knew for how long I brushed, and if my teeth felt extra sensitive that day I liked the added soft start function. Overall I am satisfied with this brush and felt that it provided a sufficient clean teeth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Timed power-brushing! Love this toothbrush! Kids' toothbrushes come with timers and I always wondered why they don't do that for us - Well this brush not only has the timer, but it has intermittent timers to make sure you get your whole mouth, evenly. The sonic vibrations are very powerful, so I was glad to have the lower setting to start - even with the smart start! I worked up to the full strength after a few days, and I still use the lower setting for the brush heads that are for my gums and in-between my teeth. I have to admit, I noticed a difference from the first brush. My teeth just felt so smooth! And after two weeks, my teeth feel like they're fresh from the hygienist after brushings and seem to keep that feeling for hours. I don't know if it's the up-and-down action of the brush, the triple head, the power of the motor or just the fact that the timer keeps me brushing longer, but this brush puts my old electric toothbrush to shame. I also love that it's rechargeable - my last toothbrush would lose so much power as the battery emptied. This one is always ready. Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from High Quality Dental Care at Home Without a doubt, using the Panasonic EW-DL91 Sonic Vibration Rechargeable Toothbrush has markedly improved my home dental care. In only two weeks of use, I have noticed tooth whitening, my mouth feels cleaner and fresher, and the product fulfills all of my needs in a toothbrush. The various heads (the regular triple edged brush, point, and silicon for gums) are probably overkill and not something you'll use every day (I don't), but when I did use them, the experience was pleasurable. The point brush, specifically, helped augment that great feeling of having the space in between your teeth cleaned that comes only after a great flossing or a trip to the dentist. Having tried both modes, I always use the powerful mode, but I can understand the purpose of the soft mode if you have sensitive teeth or gums. The brush timer, while it seemed gimmicky at first, ended up being one of my favorite features. Actually, my girlfriend, who uses another brand of sonic/electric toothbrush (that shall not be named) that doesn't have a timer, ended up timing her tooth brushing to me, because she liked it so much. The movement direction of the head, while I understand is unique to the Panasonic toothbrush, is not a make or break feature for me…I just know that it feels great. Having used this toothbrush, I can safely say I feel no need to look elsewhere or search further for at home care. In fact, don't tell my dentist, but I actually feel like I can skip my next cleaning.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Lightweight and Powerful I really love how light the Panasonic toothbrush is. Compared to the competition it is very lightweight and just as powerful. Impressed with many of the features that the tootbrush has. One feature is the Automatic timer/pause feature to indicate how long the brush has been running. Another feature is the 30 second pauses alert you when to change brushing areas. I also enjoyed the choices of having different power levels to use. Having 3 different choices of Brush Heads is also a plus for me with this toothbrush. The travel case is a very convient to have. I also have found that the charge lasts very long before I needed to recharge the toothbrush again.. All in all I was very pleased with the Panasonic Vibration Rechargeable Toothbrush.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best toothbrush I ever owned I have spent countless money on electric toothbrushes, tooth paste and mouthwash; all along I just needed to purchase this amazing teeth changing toothbrush. Includes 3 Brush heads to make sure I get maximum teeth cleaning. Leaves my mouth super clean, and lasts all day. I was amazed how my teeth became whiter after just brushing a week with this tooth brush. The two Modes make it easier to successfully assure I get the desired time completed. Soft Start Function is great to have when you do not feel you need the max strength (which after a week of using this toothbrush you won't) Brush Timer allows me to get all my desired recommended time achieved without having to look at my watch If your looking for amazing product that works as promised than you must buy this toothbrush. Plus comes with travel case which I love to just throw in luggage bag and go

Whereas all University of Hawai`i (UH) faculty are stakeholders in the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accreditation of UH campuses; and
Whereas the UH System administration requested in February 2002 that WASC review the UH System; and
Whereas preparation for, and conduct of, the WASC review team visit to UH during March 2003 did not involve the Manoa Faculty Senate; and
Whereas the letter from the WASC Executive Director to President Dobelle dated July 1, 2003 stated that:
... these issues are of such importance that they warrant immediate and concerted attention and coordinated responses at the System and campus levels. The present situation puts each of the campuses accredited by the Senior College Commission in jeopardy of not being able to establish their compliance with Commission Standards regarding financial resources and oversight, financial integrity, and resource allocation linked to planning
... while the original review of the System Office was arranged at your request, the issues identified in this letter have a significant impact on the accreditation of each of the senior-level campuses. Thus, the follow-up review will be important to establish a better foundation for the Commission for actions it will take as each of the three senior-level campuses comes up for review in the next several years. In light of this fact, the Commission hopes that this action letter, along with the System Office team report, will be disseminated to the senior college campus leadership so that they use these documents along with their campus reports to develop both individual campus responses and a collective System response;and
Whereas the WASC System Office team report and this letter were not disseminated until February 2004 to the Manoa Faculty Senate, after the System administration had already prepared its response; and
Whereas the UH System administration did not involve the Manoa Faculty Senate or the All Campus Council of Faculty Senate Chairs in drafting its response to the WASC System report in preparation for the follow-up visit to UH by the WASC Senior College Commission during March 2004; and
Whereas the Manoa Faculty Senate agrees with the WASC Commission finding that "these issues are of such importance that they warrant immediate and concentrated attention and coordinated responses at the System and campus levels"; and
Whereas the System responses maintain the pattern of ineffective consultation, communication, and clarification of roles described in the WASC System team report;
Therefore the University of Hawai`i at Manoa Faculty Senate resolves that it has no confidence in the UH System response to WASC, in the processes that produced the response to WASC, and in the UH System administration that produced the response. Further, in addition to normal transmission to the Board of Regents, the System President, and the Manoa Chancellor, the Senate Executive Committee will convey this resolution to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

I didn't get that impression at all. It was Tony's test that gave them the

the suspect fled to Atlanta.
