National Youth Administration (Kentucky)
Start Year : 1935
End Year : 1943
The National Youth Administration (NYA) was established in 1935 by order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. NYA was a division of the Works Progress Administration by way of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act. The Depression had drastically impeded the education and employment of more than 20 million young people. NYA provided student aid work funds for the part-time employment of persons between the ages of 16 and 25 to help them continue their education and enhance their employability and to help them develop constructive leisure activities. The Division of Negro Affairs, headed by Mary McLeod Bethune, oversaw the participation of Negro youth. Financial support and staffing were to be at the same percentage as the percentage of Negroes in a given state, though in reality the support was much less. The Kentucky NYA Office was located in Louisville at 9th and Broadway, with Robert K. Salyers as director. There were district offices in Madisonville, Louisville, Lexington, and Paintsville. Theodore E. Brown was State Supervisor of Negro Activities. For the program year 1936-37, there were 415 Negro college students who received NYA aid at Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons [now Kentucky State University], West Kentucky Industrial College [now West Kentucky Community and Technical College], and Louisville Municipal College for Negroes [now merged with University of Louisville]. Funding for graduate students was administered by the Washington Office, and Negroes from Kentucky could apply for out-of-state assistance. (There were no in-state graduate programs in Kentucky for African Americans.) High school and elementary students received up to $6 per month for their work, and for the program year 1936-37, there were 1,265 Negro youth of Kentucky employed through the NYA school aid program. Participants who were out of school were certified members of relief families, and they were employed in projects such as sewing, carpentry, construction and repair work on schools and public property, child care, and recreation. There actually was not much done in the area of recreational opportunities for Negroes: projects were established for supervised play leaders at playgrounds and at nursery schools and recreational education institutes were held to train participants. The projects were located in Louisville, Covington, Bowling Green, Winchester, and Paducah. Some of the crafts and toys made by the NYA youth were given away at the Community Christmas Tree, and others were showcased at the NYA exhibit displayed during the KNEA meeting in Louisville. The recreation work was often cited as having decreased delinquency. In 1938, Harvey C. Russell, Sr. was the state NYA Supervisor of Negro Activities in Kentucky, see his online article at the Kentucky Digital Library - Journals: Kentucky Negro Educational Association Journal, vol. 9, issues 1-3 (January-February 1938), pp. 47-50; see also "N. Y. A. offers employment opportunities for state youth," Kentucky Negro Educational Association Journal, vol. 13, issue 2, pp. 29-31. For more detailed information see Negro Youth and the National Youth Administration in Kentucky, by T. E. Brown; W. G. Daniel and C. L. Miller, "The Participation of the Negro in the National Youth Administration Program," The Journal of Negro Education, vol. 7, issue 3, (July 1938), pp. 357-365; and National Youth Administration for Kentucky: Basic Information on NYA Workers in Kentucky by the NYA Work Project.

Hi Stobe,
Does map maker v1.1 have an option to select yes/no to "Show Driving Directions"?
Is it possible to link each address to a Native App (Google Maps) in the location map?
Hi Stobe The software works great thanks!
However im experiencing some issues getting the data link to work.
I uploaded the txt file to my public dropbox folder and copied the url as the data URL. When I run the build in my iOS simulator I get a "there was a problem parsing some configuration data. Please make sure that it is well-formed!?
email sent 🙂 thanks
Hi Stobe, nice tool.
I've been looking for some PHP or other server code that I can use, to ceate map JSON files for my apps. Basically I want to store many thousands of map points in my SQL file on my buzz 2.0 server, and when my app sends a request (via DataURL for that screen) the system gathers up the right map points, creates JSON records like these, and returns them in the .txt file, which BT reads as usual.
Can your tool be adapted to do this or do you know somebody who already has?

A Southgate Parkway business may relocate to the downtown.
On Monday, Cambridge City Council considered a request in writing from the Portsmouth-based Hometown Development Co. for both a rezoning of a portion of the downtown and the vacating of an alley in order that a new and expanded CVS pharmacy may be constructed there.
The rezoning issue to change several lots from Central Business District classification to Office/Medical/Commercial District was referred to the Cambridge Zoning and Planning Commission. A date for their next meeting had not been set Monday evening.
Vacating of the alley will be addressed in the future by councils City Services Committee.
According to the letter, the properties in question lie in the half-block between Wheeling and Turner avenues and South 11th and South 12th streets. Agreements with all affected property owners are reportedly in place, except with the owners of a vacant and unused lot on the corner of Wheeling Avenue and South 11th Street.
CVS has reportedly planned their project around this unobtained parcel of land. The site was chosen, the letter said, to provide space for a larger store and better visibility and access, as well as to benefit from the downtown improvement project currently underway.
The rezoning would provide the same setback requirements for any building built on the neighboring parcel, and to protect the CVS investment by having the same parking requirements.
The vacating of the alley running between Wheeling and Turner avenues would allow the entire lot to be used.

It's amazing how someone can expect people to come out of pocket for clothes that don't even exist. Also that pre order shit is lowkey BS to me especially as far as up and coming brands are concerned it comes off like they're trying to get you to fund the product actually being created when you only see mock ups and templates and no actual real life products.no pictures, lame background i'm going to assume you can't even legally use, no lookbook.http://hypebeast.com/forums/general-fashion-discussion/154829/page/GalaxyForceUSA.bigcartel.com Support!! and Pre-Order!!!
C'mon man, if you don't even have at the very least a mockup of the product, don't start a store and link it around.
Appreciate the words. Trying to keep it clean and have fun with it.@Parafina and @Fictionfield, good job, clean designs

I've had a similar problem. I have a list of around 90 servers, and if
one of them times out (or in this case not time out and fail to connect),
the whole process can come to a stand-still. The only solution I've found
is to remove it from my start.url file. I'm running 3.1.5 on PPCLinux
Some sort of timeout adjustment would seem to be needed. Anyone else
exprience this?

» Camping on the Roof of Thailand
Camping on the Roof of Thailand
The hottest time of the year in Chiang Mai is April and May. Temperatures can easily exceed 40 degrees Centigrade by mid-afternoon. There is a place very close to Chiangmai where you can escape the heat and enjoy some of the finest natural scenery in the Kingdom and that is Doi Inthanon National Park.
Each year my wife and I pack up our gear, load it on our little 100cc Honda Dream, and head for the mountains. We like to go the first week in May after the Mango rains in mid to late April. The so called Mango rains is a period of about one week when the weather changes from the cool to the hot season which causes brief heavy rain showers. This rain causes the vegetation, a dingy brown color because of lack of rain for several months, to turn to a lush green.
When we departed Chiangmai at 9 am it was already 35 degrees C. but the cool breeze while riding the motor bike the short 1 1/2 hours to the park was refreshing. We left Chiangmai by highway 108 through Hang Dong and Sanpatong and then about one kilometer before Chom Tong turned right on highway 1009. There is a big sign in English stating "Doi Inthanon" where you turn so it's easy to find. Continue 8 kilometers to where the road forks and then keep to the right where you will see the park entrance. The entrance fee is 10 baht and they have free maps and information for you that you will need. A copy of the park map can be seen online and might be a useful reference as you read this article.
Your first stop should be the Visitor's Center a kilometer or so past the park entrance on the left side. There they have more information and many exhibits and a slide show about the park in English. You need to know the park rules that levy stiff fines if broken (such as for picking flowers); these rules are written on the back of all the maps and brochures.
After getting all the information we needed we headed straight to the Park Headquarters at Kilometer marker 31. As we approached the booth for accommodations reservations both we noticed a thermometer and found it was a perfect 26 degrees C. We decided to spend our first night in a tent and second night in a bungalow. We made our reservations and rented our tent for 60 baht and 4 blankets at 15 baht each. Since we were going to ride around the park the park ranger kept our bags for us and we proceeded to the camp grounds to pitch our tent.
The camp grounds are in a pine tree forest with toilets and shower facilities. There is a guard box at the entrance and in the evenings the guard lets in only those who are camping or have bungalow reservations on the grounds. Since you are not allowed to pick up fire wood you can ask the camp ground attendant and he will supply the wood for you.
After putting up the tent we were getting hungry and headed back to the Park Headquarters where they have two restaurants and small store. The store also has tents and blankets to rent for the same price as the park. You can also purchase bottled water, soda, beer, film, batteries and snacks and souvenirs. The restaurants are open from 7 am to 8 pm serving delicious Thai food at great prices. While having lunch we were told that a 7 man soccer match was being played this afternoon on the soccer field next to the restaurant on the Park Headquarters grounds. The match was between a Karen hill tribe village and a Hmong hill tribe village located in the park so we stayed and watched the action under the shade trees drinking ice cold beer. We made plans to do some hiking on the Gew Mae Pan Trail near the Doi Inthanon summit (above 2000 meters tomorrow) so today was for relaxing, which I myself am very good at doing.
Just before dark we ate our dinner, got our things from the park ranger and went to our camp grounds. In May there aren't many people in the park so a secluded place to put our tent was easy to find. We built a nice camp fire and I spent the evening reading while my wife did her crochet. The only sound was that of the crickets and with the smell of pine and clean fresh air drifting off to sleep was a total pleasure I haven't experienced in many months while living in the crowded city. The next morning we awoke early and packed up the tent and returned it to the park ranger and again he kept our bags for us. I checked the thermometer and it was a cool 18 degrees C.
We ate our breakfast and headed toward the summit passing fruit and flower stands owned by Hmong hill tribe people. Here we stopped to have a look and across the street were green houses filled with beautiful flowers. The growing of flowers is a Royal Project so the hill tribe people can live in harmony with the park's conservation plans instead of doing their traditional slash and burn farming.
The 2.5 kilometer Gew Mae Pan Trail begins about half a kilometer past the twin Chedis at kilometer marker 42. We decided to leave our motor bike at the Chedi and walk the horseshoe shaped trail to the end and return the same way. This turned out to be a good idea as the mountains were covered with mist and clouds and the view although beautiful was limited on our way out. On the way back the clouds had lifted and the view was spectacular.
The two Chedis named Napamaytanindol Chedi are a work of art. Built for the occasion of King Bhumipol's 60th birthday, two Chedis were built. One for His Majesty and the other for Queen Sirikit. When you visit the Chedis make sure you are wearing long pants or skirt and shirt or blouse. Refreshments and lunch can be purchased here but are expensive. Just behind the Lavender colored Chedi dedicated to Queen Sirikit the Gew Mae Pan Trail begins. There is no marker but you will be able to find it.
The trail begins through dense forest with lush ferns and moss covering the tree trunks. Wild orchids and colorful birds are plentiful. It's uphill most of the way, crossing streams and climbing over and ducking under logs. The temperature is perfect for hiking and the sounds of the many birds and creeks are very enjoyable.
After about an hour you come upon a clearing looking toward the west. When we arrived clouds were rushing up from the valley floor to meet us.
The next hour you are walking along a narrow mountain ridge with shear mountain cliffs off to the west. To the east what you think are thick bushes are, if you look closely, huge tree tops coming from the jungle forest below. This is also where the Red and White Rhododendron are located. These native plants (small trees) cling to the rocky cliffs and come into full bloom during the cold season from December to March. At the very high point of the trail is a cleared area where a Hmong hill tribe village used to be. You can imagine the cleared area filled with color full opium poppies. The villagers were moved to the Mae Klang area near the park Headquarters and now grow flowers, strawberries, apples, plums and peaches.
The next portion of the trail is through dense forest again crossing several streams. The park has provided small bridges to make crossing the streams easy. The last part of the trail is through a lovely evergreen forest with pine trees much different and larger than those found at our camp site.
We returned the way we came following the trail to the clearing and this time the clouds had lifted leaving a spectacular view of the valley floor and surrounding mountains. Two hawks were circling above, diving to the valley floor then lifting again on the air currents along the cliff edge, their screeching echoing through the canyon below.
We spent a total of six hours on the trail and saw only two other people. They were Thai photographers doing a story for a nature magazine. We could have stayed longer but hunger was setting in so we returned to the restaurant at the Park Headquarters.
The rest of the afternoon we rode to the many Karen and Hmong hill tribe villages. The people were very shy but friendly and it was difficult taking pictures at first. After we spent some time with them a few agreed to having their picture taken. I won't give money for picture taking as this starts a bad habit of them asking for money from tourists, but I do try to get to know and make friends with them then ask if its OK to take their picture.
This evening was spent in our comfortable bungalow. We made reservations at the same time we rented our tent the day before. The bungalow has electricity and is equipped with a king size bed in the bedroom and a single bed with table and chairs in the living room. It has a big but simple bathroom with shower and Thai style toilet. Simple accommodations for only 300 baht per night and the bed was very comfortable and the night quiet.
The next day we spent visiting the many waterfalls in the park. The first one was very close to our bungalow and actually two waterfalls named after the King and Queen and called Siriphum waterfalls. The next two waterfalls were also close together and the road getting there was a little difficult but worth the effort. We went just past the second check point at kilometer marker 38 and turned left toward Mae Chaem and traveled about 8 kilometers. Here there is a sign where you turn right and travel the dirt road for 2 kilometers to the ranger station. From there it's a 500 meter walk to Mae Pan waterfall and 200 meters to Huai Luaeng waterfall.
Our last stop was on the way out of the park at Mae Ya waterfall. To get there you need to go back to Cham Tong and just before you get to highway 108 you will see the sign Mae Ya waterfall. follow the signs for about 14 kilometers from here. There will be a check point where they collect a 10 baht fee to enter. Just tell them you have been staying in the park and they will let you in for free. This waterfall is great for photographs and over 250 meters tall. Try to go on a weekday as the weekends are very crowded with Thais picnicking and swimming.
We had a great time although we didn't see everything such as Brichinda cave. We would also like to spend some time bird watching. The Park staff was a great help and very friendly and I would recommend this trip to anyone. So next time it gets too hot in Chiangmai head to Doi Inthanon National Park.

Connections for Cardiovascular Health Announces Grant
The AstraZeneca HealthCare Foundation program, Connections for Cardiovascular Health, today announced a grant of $150,000 to the Henry Ford Allegiance Health Foundation in Jackson to create the Health Improvement Organization / Community Hearts Project.
The Health Improvement Organization / Community Hearts Project is designed to reduce cardiovascular risk factors of low-income, underinsured adults through integrating a health management component into the Project Access system of donated care for uninsured workers in Jackson County.
"We are grateful to the AstraZeneca HealthCare Foundation for providing us with important resources to help better manage the health of the uninsured in our community," said Amy Schultz, MD, director, Henry Ford Allegiance Prevention and Community Health. "This grant enhances a well established program and certainly strengthens our mission to lead our community to better health and well-being at every stage of life."
The goal of Project Access is to provide a system of donated care to uninsured workers in Jackson County by connecting them to participating agencies and providers through a medical home. This program will offer health risk assessments, screenings, health coaching, self-management tools and social support activities to Project Access participants in order to reduce precursors to cardiovascular disease. The program also aligns with the Health Improvement Community Action Plan to improve healthy food access in low-income neighborhoods.
"We must work to decrease the risk of and prevent cardiovascular disease in the United States, by providing resources to those in need," said James W. Blasetto, MD, MPH, chairman of the AstraZeneca HealthCare Foundation. "The Henry Ford Allegiance Health Foundation is providing an innovative program to improve cardiovascular health throughout Jackson County."
Connections for Cardiovascular Health was launched in 2010 through a charitable contribution of $25 million from AstraZeneca. The program awards grants of $150,000 and up to US-based non-profit organizations that are doing innovative work in the field of cardiovascular health. The grant will be used to identify patients with risks for cardiovascular disease and provide them with support to assist in health improvement, risk reduction and access to healthy lifestyles.
Organizations can learn more and apply online for a Foundation grant at www.astrazeneca-us.com/foundation. Applications must be submitted online no later than 5:00 p.m. EST on March 15.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Forget the tasty ghost stories, oysters and local brews that make Casey Moore's a favorite dining/drinking hangout for ASU students and Tempe residents. Conversation is the real mainstay of this historic house turned watering hole.
Just a brief stroll from the corporate cornucopia of Mill Avenue, Casey's is camouflaged among quaint houses in a small neighborhood on Ninth Street and Ash Avenue. Not only is the place worth singing about (see lyrics in Jimmy Eat World's "If You Don't, Don't"), the laid-back bar has a knack for rousing the most intellectual, conversational side of us all.
There's something about the seating -- wooden picnic-style tables and benches, and a comfy bar area -- that cries for a good conversation. Don't get us wrong; this is still a college bar with plenty of college antics and cheap pickup lines. But here, you're more likely to find the alternative, vintage-happy academic referencing Confucius than cunnilingus.
It doesn't matter whether your topic of choice is philosophy or procreation, however. Casey's is the optimal venue for raising your Guinness -- along with your point of view. Readers' Choice: Merc Bar
One of the surprises of moving to Phoenix for the first time from some place like Los Angeles or New York is being able to have a pint of P-town's "home brew" -- Kiltlifter Scottish Ale -- on tap at a local saloon. Let's be honest, when you're a newbie transplant with some of that El Lay or Gotham 'tude, your first reaction to PHX -- not knowing the area -- might be, "Why, God, why?" But a draught of Kiltlifter, the flagship ale of the Four Peaks Brewing Company in Tempe, is enough to convince you that not only is there civilization in P-town, but it has produced a damn fine brew-ha-ha, one worthy of incessant quaffing. Kiltlifter is an award-winning, Scottish-style amber ale that uses peat-soaked malt (the same used in making Scotch) to give the beverage a smoky sweetness, accented with a touch of English hops. It's a sophisticated, refreshing drink, and Phoenicians should be as proud of it as they are of the Arizona flag.
To borrow a line from John Belushi in Animal House, now that Arizona has gotten off its keister and extended the drinking cutoff until 2 a.m., we advise you to start drinking heavily. And there's no better place to start drinking heavily than at McDuffy's Wide World of Entertainment in Peoria, which has 21 different beers on tap and at least the same number in bottles. This sleek, 13,000-square-foot sports bar is jam-packed with large-screen TVs tuned to all of your favorite athletic competitions, and then some. McDuffy's also offers off-track betting year-round, so you can lose your shirt (or win a bundle) while getting hammered. And the kitchen prepares some of the best bar food, bar none, everything from beer-battered fish and chips and roast beef sliders au jus to hand-crafted pizzas, made to your exacting specifications. Moreover, with its half-price happy hour -- and a reverse happy hour on Sundays that includes Sabbath tourneys of "beer pong" (Yahweh must love that one), McDuffy's has become a destination drinking, dining and fun zone for the entire west side. If only Belushi were still around, he'd love it. Readers' Choice: Four Peaks Brewing Company
Hey, Dancing Queen, if those shoes haven't scuffed a dance floor since disco, it's time to leave the house. Deciding where to bust your latest Beyonc moves isn't easy, but there are a few diva-worthy dance floors out there -- all of them inside the confines of The Buzz.
The Buzz is perfect for the schizophrenic dancer who's not really sure what groove to follow. The maze of bars and themed rooms surround a large dance floor lighted by hypnotic lasers and energized by scratch-happy DJs who spin everything from house to funk to hip-hop.
Save the last dance until you've perused the rest of the two-story fun bar. The Rat Pack Lounge offers a little Sinatra-inspired R&R -- perfect for rejuvenating yourself -- and the rooftop patio is essential for airing out those sweat-soaked digs of yours. Don't lounge around too long, however. The Buzz is best experienced by dancing yourself dizzy. Readers' Choice: Axis/Radius
This place would impress even the Queer Eye guys. From the opera bar to the leather couches to the jumbo shrimp appetizer, everything about Amsterdam is perfectly appointed, particularly the help -- and the clientele. You'll feel like you've died and gone to cable when you sink back with a martini (we recommend the French) and enjoy the, er, view, as well as the live piano music and frequent drag shows. For you fag hags (and boys who do the mani-pedi thing), we highly recommend "Martinis and Manicures" -- just $5 for a mani, $10 for a pedi, 7 p.m. to close, plus $5 martinis.
Don't bother asking for a "facial." It's not that kind of place. Readers' Choice: Amsterdam
Thankfully, you'll be hard-pressed to find a mullet here. E-Lounge draws patrons of all ages, but its largest draw is the twentysomething crowd. With ample, cushy couches, reasonably priced drinks, and hordes of hot women, E-Lounge is fast becoming the nightclub that local lesbians have wanted for years. The inside decor resembles a grotto inferno, with dark red brick walls, paintings of exotic, scantily clad women, and a spacious, sunken dance floor -- a perfect pit for exhibitionists, and a great eyeful opportunity for voyeurs. Add some of the Valley's hottest DJs (Domenica, Pete, and Laura B.) to the mix, and there's bound to be beautiful booty shakin' until last call -- and maybe more booty after that. Readers' Choice: Ain't Nobody's Bizness

"The New York World's Fair, as everybody knows, by now, is so stupendous, gigantic, super-magnificent, a greatest-show-on-earth, that one could write a whole book about it," states the official guide book for the New York World's Fair, held in Flushing, Queens, from April 1939 until the fall of 1940. The fair's theme, "Building the World of Tomorrow," was expressed throughout the fair grounds, most obviously in the futuristic monuments constructed as the Theme Centerthe soaring three-sided obelisk called the Trylon and the massive globe called the Persiphere. The Trylon and Perisphere appeared on nearly every fair souvenir, from the expected salt and pepper shakers to cameras and electric razors.
Inside the stunning Perisphere, one could experience the amazing exhibit by industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss and view "Democracity," the ultimate incarnation of the perfect World of Tomorrow. The amazing "Futurama" exhibit, designed by Norman Bel Geddes, could be seen from a pedestrian conveyor in the General Motors pavilion, emphasizing the avowal that "the progress of civilization has run parallel to advancement in transportation." In an effort to marry art and technology, many important industrial designers contributed to the fair pavilions, and artists created murals and sculpture that added to the beauty of the fair grounds. The results presented a wonderous, hopeful view of the future to the millions of fair visitors.
The fair was the largest world exposition of its time. Thirty-three states and sixty foreign nations and international organizations participated. Among the hundreds of exhibitors, many unveiled industrial advancements, but the invention that had the greatest impact on our culture was the television, introduced at the RCA pavilion. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's speech at the fair's official opening-day ceremony on April 30, 1939, was America's first commercial broadcast.

The attempted raid happened at the Jet service station in London Road, Wrotham, at about 3.15am.
Police said the vehicle was reversed into the ATM and the men then tried to load the machine into the back of the car, but it was found abandoned nearby.
Officers think at least three men were involved in the attempted robbery.
Sprayed dye
The men were all wearing dark clothing and had their faces covered and one of them discharged a fire extinguisher into the garage shop, Kent Police said.
It is thought the cash machine was fitted with an anti-theft device which would have sprayed dye during the attack.
Kent Police want anyone with information to contact them or Crimestoppers.

This paper reports an investigation into the use of subordinate clauses in the writing of a class of seven to nine year old children when attempting five different writing tasks. The investigation was undertaken in part-response to an inspection report on the school by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) which recommended that the school should extend the writing skills of pupils in this age-range. The importance of developing subordination in writing is related to previous research and to evidence from reviews of Ofsted inspection evidence. The different patterns of subordination are discussed, between tasks and pupils and in relation to variation in the writing of individual children when tackling the different tasks. The paper ends by suggesting how similar informal investigations can assist schools in promoting writing development. It also outlines how the teaching approaches outlined in the National Literacy Strategy will provide opportunities for this promotion, particularly by exploiting links between reading and writing.

Study Abroad at Western
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
WCSU recognizes that international education is a necessity, not a luxury. Our world continues to change and as a result, it is imperative that Western students have as many opportunities as possible to complement their studies in Connecticut with study abroad.
Study abroad is beneficial because it creates global awareness, enhances academic learning, develops leadership skills, advances career opportunities, and facilitates personal growth. And, for many, it is a terrific opportunity to learn another language.
- Short Courses Abroad - Spain and Italy
- ISEP (semester, year, or summer) - more than 300 locations in over 50 countries
- Scholarships
- Next month, five ISEP students will be returning to their respective home countries after having spent a semester - and in some instances two semesters - at WCSU. One of them will be returning for the spring semester.
- Thirteen WCSU ISEP students are getting ready to spend the spring semester studying at universities around the world. This year students are preparing to go to Belgium, England, Germany, Italy (3), Malta, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and Thailand.
- Four students are returning to WCSU after a semester abroad with ISEP in Australia, Italy, Northern Ireland and New Zealand.
|WCSU student Lindsay Castner studied a year in Sydney, Australia with ISEP
|WCSU student Amy Wheeler spent a semester in Italy with ISEP
|WCSU student Alexandria Almeida spent a semester in The Netherlands with ISEP

Kelly Rowland Engaged To Manager Tim Witherspoon
The Hollywood rumor mill is spinning, but for once it has nothing to do with a jaw-dropping celebrity baby-to-be. Kelly Rowland finally has a ring on it, and it's from her manager, Tim Witherspoon.A source close to the former Destiny's Child singer shared the news with The Hollywood Reporter. "She has been showing [the ring] off to friends and family and is very happy. She wants to…enjoy [it] and celebrate for a bit longer," the source confirms.
The rumors of an engagement first hit the street when people noticed Rowland rocking a huge diamond on her hand during a birthday video that was posted on a friend's Instagram account. But thanks to this "close source," it sounds like things are official for the couple — although neither Tim nor Kelly have confirmed the engagement or commented via their social media accounts.
If the story is true, this will be Kelly's second engagement — the first time she said "yes" was to NFL player Roy Williams in 2005. The ex-couple called it quits just two months before walking down the aisle. In an interview with Cosmopolitan UK, the 32-year-old admitted she wasn't ready. "I was too young for marriage," she revealed. "But sometimes you fall down and you learn from it."
Perhaps that relationship was the one she described in 'Dirty Laundry,' a song featured on her fourth studio album, 'Talk a Good Game.' The track centers on an abusive boyfriend.

I'm sure you know that Chelsea Handler isn't a fan of Angelina Jolie, and she had many "Changeling" chick in her interview with More magazine's May 2012 issue.
Chelsea is BFFs with Jennifer Aniston, and she was asked to describe the "the opposite of a girl's girl."
She replied, "Probably Angelina Jolie. You just know as a woman, when you see another woman, if that's a woman you can trust."
"[Angelina Jolie] doesn't strike me as someone I would have a close friendship with," she added. Back in December 2012 Chelsea called Jolie a "home wrecker," "f**king c**t," and "f**king bi**h" during a stand-up gig.

Login to Review This Car
2004 Buick Park Avenue (3 Reviews)
rear shocks and onboard air compressor failed around 110,000 mi. Transmission failed at 182,000 mi. Digital hvac display went dark at around 130,00 mi. You tube video showed me how to repair by removing unit and re-soldering 4 cold soldered resistors, still working fine at 225,000 mi. Steering wheel position sensor replaced at 190,000 mi. Engine and supercharger have remained trouble free for 10 years, fuel milage 25 mpg highway 17 city, not bad for large car. I plan to keep this vehicle till it falls apart.
2004 Park Avenue, bought one year old, now has 130,000 miles and not a flaw inside or out. Great feel, superior handling, lots of power, solid. Had to replace right front wheel bearing at 70,000 miles. Replaced a rear strut at 110,000 miles. Replaced idler pulley and belt at 124,000 miles. These are the only issues. Runs like new, smooth ride. If they still made Park Avenue I'd replace it, eventually, with another one. As it is, I'll need to buy a Jag to get anything like it. Why did GM stop making these? That was a really bad decision. It's one of the best cars they've ever made.
Park Avenues and Lesabres were the best cars in my opinion. The Lucern and Lacrosse are supposed to be the new version of the cars. As they are only a few years old, there is no true record of their reliability as far as I know.

Thanks for the hint, Nils. The shown case was just a simulation. In the wild the updating steps are not taking place at once but scattered infrequently and the data migh be requested in between so it is not possible to use bulk action in this case. Cheers Konrad

Tuesday's release by the Federal Reserve of the results of its annual round of "stress tests" of the 19 largest American banks was yet another confirmation of the deftness with which the US government has handled the financial crisis. In stark contrast to the feeling of ennui that has often accompanied Europe's initiatives to shore up its own financial system, the latest news from Washington was greeted with enthusiasm, with share prices jumping 1.8 per cent by the end of the day and the S&P financials index up by 3.9 per cent.
There is much to praise. The $700bn Troubled Asset Relief Program provided in late 2008 a solid financial firewall and stemmed the tide of fear and near-panic that had surrounded the banking system. It even turned a profit for the US Treasury, which invested just under $205bn in 707 banks and has so far received about $211bn back.
But clearly, the banking system is not yet perfect. Four banks failed the latest tests, most notably Citigroup, which said it would resubmit its capital plan, as required. However, even these failures must be seen in light of the severity of the stress test scenario, which assumes 13 per cent unemployment, a halving of stock market valuations and the kind of "market shock" that might be triggered by the collapse of a bank in Europe.

Il Papa has a rolling throne. Well, technically, it's not a throne, it's a standing platform on wheels.
But once Pope Benedict XVI was rolled down the football-field length aisle in St. Peter's, the world's largest church, on Sunday, few paid attention to whether his ideas have legs.
It was the day he announced a Year of Faith to focus on reviving evangelism in the world, particularly in Europe. But we're all focused, instead, on the contraption he rode that was first used by Pope John Paul II in 1999 as Parkinson's symptoms began to sap his mobility.
Now, Benedict is not afflicted with any chronic ills (that anyone has mentioned in public) and like any 84-year-old might, he's conserving his energies, the wires say.
But out in the blogosphere, it turns out folks have been calling for Benedict to revive the centuries-old papal practice of being carried about in public in a lavish sedan chair, the Sedia Gestatoria (portable throne) lofted by a dozen young hunks (check the picture above).
Pope John Paul I was the last to use it. And Dominic Scarborough, British commentator on Catholic issues and, by day, a fellow who runs a risk management company, says Benedict would be a lot safer if he did as well. He wrote in The Catholic Herald:
While the abolition of this ancient form of transport may have since been considered appropriate in the context of the late 20th century and the need to democratise the appearance of papal ceremonies, the reality has left the Pope an isolated and vulnerable figure ...
While there are bound to be some who would see the return of the sedia as yet another example of this Pope "turning the clock back," in fact not only would it save an elderly man's tired legs but it would allow more of the crowd to see him. Most importantly, it would actually insulate him from the kind of physical assault we saw at Christmas by virtue of the mob of people surrounding it ...
DO YOU THINK... You're more interested in the energy of his ideas, not his legs? Or is the New Evangelism a tired idea in your view?

Kids Look At Future Careers During Explore the Future Me Fair
June 8, 2014
About 700 people attended the second annual Kid2.0 Explore the Future Me event June 1. The event was held on the Cal State Fullerton campus.
The free, interactive event aimed to educate children in the fourth through sixth grades about careers in science, technology, engineering, arts and math.
Event organizers "created a number of different areas where students got to interact with engineers and other STEM professionals to know what it would be like to be in those professions," said Noelle Nitz, president of the Black Business Network of Orange County. Nitz served as a key event organizer. Finish reading the original article.

I wanted to share what the Holy Spirit revealed to me that it would strengthen and bring a growth to the body of Christ, author E.A. James explains.
Nauvoo, AL (PRWEB) April 16, 2013
"I wanted to share what the Holy Spirit revealed to me that it would strengthen and bring a growth to the body of Christ," author E.A. James explains. It is this reason that he has penned his newest book, "God's Revealed Word of Truth" (published by WestBow Press).
"God's Revealed Word of Truth" reveals events prior to the return of Jesus, and tells what God expects from humans in order to inherit His kingdom. By reading his book, James' audience will gain further knowledge of the Bible that the author hopes will enable them to live a Christian lifestyle and be ever watchful for their souls and salvation.
"Now, in these last days, God has revealed His hidden wisdom," James believes. In "God's Revealed Word of Truth," he provides answers regarding questions such as:
- What did God plan for man?
- Is the new birth the beginning or the ending of man's salvation?
- Is God's plan just to take man to heaven?
- Is the end of man's kingdom near?
- What country will the beast come from?

Evaluating alternative health care delivery model for teaching hospitals
The Foundation's Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization program was designed to support research, demonstration, and evaluation projects examining major changes in health care financing.The purpose of this project is a study to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the impacts on cost and quality of the Collaborative Care Model implemented at University Hospitals of Cleveland in July 1989. To conduct the study, the grantee will: (1) randomly assign 1,350 primary care patients either to the Collaborative Care unit and/or a traditional hospital unit with housestaff; and (2) collect and analyze data on a broad range of parameters including resource use, rates of adverse hospital events, discharge health status, patient satisfaction, nursing job satisfaction, and collaborative practice/organizational environment of care. The objective of this project is to provide solid evidence of a model of care which will increase efficiency of teaching hospitals and could ultimately position them to maintain or expand services to underserved populations.

[/quote] Oh so I can just shoot anybody who "violates my sense of safety"? [/quote] Any asshole that enters my home, business, car, etc. with a weapon already drawn is a threat to my life. I don't give a shit if its pointing at my head or the ground. If the gun is already drawn he is trying to convey the message that he is ready to use it therefore I am ready to defend myself and stop him from doing what he intends. [/quote] But somebody in your home is not really a threat now is it? He is just there, for all you know he will run away the moment he sees you, why would you have to kill him over nothing? A threat in my opinion is a guy shooting at you or somebody putting a knife against your throat. Somebody just wondering in your house doesn't seem like a big enough threat to me to just kill somebody over. [/quote] And what would you do? Invite him for tea? You liberal eurotards wouldnt last 10 minutes here. [/quote] well look at it this way, just simple ethics; what is more ethical, co-operating with a burglar or killing them? Killing is always bad so it IS better to co-operate. [/quote] Sure, killing IS always bad, but I would rather the perp be killed than me or my family. If given the choice, what would you do? :boxorox222: [/quote] But you don't know if he is going to kill your family.[b] We don't execute people because they [i]might[/i] do something in the future.[/b] [/quote] If he has a gun pointed at you, there is a good frikken reason to believe he MIGHT do something. ***BANG*** I shoot first. [/quote] For the most part criminals have guns to protect themselves from vigilantes who want to take justice into their own hands. Here most criminals don't have guns cause they don't need to protect themselves. [/quote] ^^^ Liberalism is a mental disorder ^^^ Shitty logic thinking there... Poor criminals. So what if criminals rape you and steal your money... It's all about welfare of poor criminals... wah! wah! Grow a fucking brain, you retard. [/quote] So having a different opinion than others is a mental disorder? Very telling, I am being very reserved in my opinions, I could also be throwing around dick sizes and little man complexes but I try to stay civil. Society is measured by how it treats it's poorest people. Criminals are for the most part victims of their upbringing and environment. They are so poor that they are practically forced to break the law. Nobody is going to starve themselves to death in order to follow the "holy" law. Nobody just wants to rob people and risk getting hurt or put in prison. These people need help, not bullets between their eyes. [/quote] Wow! Just wow!! I have to make an assumption here, because I honestly do not understand the "live and let live" mentality you are spouting here. In your country, you are telling us, that it is perfectly acceptable to rob someone of their money, steal the things in their houses, maybe even carjack you at gunpoint, and the citizens accept this as normalcy? Maybe you treat your criminals too well. Here in the US, we EXPECT EVERYONE to obey the rule of Law. That is the norm, not the exception, and we dont allow someone's upbringing or lack thereof to become an excuse for bad behavior. And how would you propose to "help" them? Reward them for NOT robbing? Give them Government assistance in order to stop them from having to steal? Perhaps make donations to the local criminal's guild? At some point every man must take personal responsibility for his actions. This is the premis that keeps civil societies civil, without personal responsibility there can be no civility. [/quote] No ofcourse it is not normal, it is still punished by LAW, like it should, not by wannabe hero uncle Hank but by a judge who knows what the fuck she is talking about. "And how would you propose to "help" them? " Well what we do here is make sure prison sentences are not too harsh so that the person has a chance to get back into society. If you get 25 years for stealing a cookie how the fuck can they expect such a person not to be fucked up for life IF they are just petty burglars we offer them schooling and housing once they finished their sentencing, also to improve reintegration itno society. Again if you just let them rot with fellow criminals and not offer them anything you basically fuck up their lives for ever. And how does it work? Netherlands murders a year: 250 US murders a year: 15.000 Try to explain that Einstein. [/quote] On a per-capita basis we have less murder than you. Do the math. As far as fucking up their lives, we generally allow three strikes, just like baseball. After the third fuck-up, you're out of society. It seems to work fairly well. Do you provide cable TV to your inmates? Prison time is meant not to change a man, it is meant to hearden his heart. That's what it does. The larger percentage of criminals who are incarcerated WILL become repeat offenders and serve multiple prison terms. That is just the way it is. Let's get back to the root problem. You dont believe a man should be expected to take personal responsibility for his actions. That is the core of the liberal mindset. Blame his upbringing. Blame the system. Blame his environment. Blame the white man. Blame the Jews. Blame everything under the sun, but no, it's not his fault. FUCK THAT! I take my responsibility to my family very seriously, so seriously that I carry a gun every day to ensure that I can continue to work and provide for my family in the event that some idiot robs me and wants to shoot me.

50 million bling points! · see all
Best phrase to describe me would be "easily entertained." I chose my name based on my desired career, motivational speaking. I DJ at The Dark Side I love my TDS family!!! I'm not one of those closed fu's I accept friend reqs without fail. I return sb, pm, and r/f/l's. I'm a people person so if you're feeling like shit I won't turn you away, I'll probably make you laugh. If you're looking for a cosigner I may not be that guy. I suffer from foot in mouth disease and joking around alot. My loves are movies, music, poker, baseball, and my daughter among other things. I'm creative, sometimes a pain in the ass, and at others I'm great fun. You need help with lvling or anything like that let me know. If I can I will. Anything else is up to you to determine or ask......Make today your best day ever. Live your masterpiece!!!

Dolby is revolutionizing TV.
Every year, we get super excited about CES since it's basically the Super Bowl of the digital world. This year is no different, with the major draw being new televisions technologies – 3D, 4K and curved screens. All of which sounds awesome but are mostly iterative upgrades to the HD TVs that were introduced 15 years ago.
Enter Dolby Vision, which is Dolby's latest product. Although the company is best known as an audio giant, Dolby (one of our new most favorite clients) has unleashed a new way to visually experience television. Instead of focusing on resolution like so many other companies, Dolby has focused on brightness and how it can help mimic what the eye sees in the real world.
Without getting too technical, the unit of measurement for brightness is a 'nit.' Currently, displays have an average peak brightness of 100 nits, which is the same reference level from forever ago. Modern televisions take that signal and match it to their peak brightness – typically 400-500 nits. But to put it in perspective, the human eye experiences a much wider range in real life – anywhere from 0.0001 nits to 1.6 billion nits.
With Dolby Vision, Dolby has basically created a signal that allows viewers to experience a new kind of imagery that shows a wider range of colors, brightness and detail. In other words, it makes anything on TV seem unbelievably real by utilizing a signal that allows for a much larger range of nits and produces a true-to-life image. And yes, it is completely amazing when you see it.
We were lucky enough to team up with Dolby on this project, and trust us – Dolby Vision is off the hook. Check it out for yourself.

Say what you will about Bristol Palin, she's a quick study. It didn't take her long to master the ways of her elders on the censorious right and decide that personal circumstance and past error needn't prevent someone from claiming righteous leadership. Uncle Rush must be proud.
Soon after President Obama stated support for same-sex marriage, Bristol publicly weighed in. Because, you know, the world was on tenterhooks.
In a blog post she focused on the reference that Obama made to his daughters — and to the same-sex parents of some of the girls' friends.

Don't like the island you're currently lounging on? Head somewhere else. Not keen on that one? Venture forward.
We could go on all day listing various destinations along the Exuma Cays. With hundreds of islands to choose from, you won't have to settle for anything less than ideal.
Exuma Cays
Amounting to a collection of some 360 islands, the Exuma Cays offer visitors an opportunity to experience Caribbean paradise. The chain of islands, running for some 130 miles (209km), include both significant pieces of land as well as tiny islets representing little more than a bar of sand.
While the prospective visitor may picture a simple collection of scenic islands, rest assured that the Exuma Cays amounts to so much more. The cays' many resorts are filled to the brim with amenities, prepared to pamper its enthusiastic guests.
Credit: WorldIslandInfo.com
Sands of Exuma
When you're not enjoying luxurious accommodations or participating in abundant activities, odds are you'll be enjoying life on the beach. The stretch of sand that you choose will largely depend on your personality. Whether you're looking to play with your friends or sunbathe with your sweetheart, the Exuma Cays have you covered.
Hamburger Beach
Just off the shores of Exuma's largest city of George Town, Hamburger Beach is the place to be if you're looking to find some action. Boaters will have plenty of space to drop anchor while land dwellers have the opportunity to access the island with a short ferry ride.
Loungers need not apply as Hamburger Beach is set up for activity. Visitors will have no trouble finding a game of beach volleyball, the area's trademark sport. After you've worked up a hunger, enjoy the island's namesake at one of Hamburger Beach's snack stands.

Three Sisters Beach
Located a short distance from the Exuma International Airport, the Three Sisters Beach is so named for the trio of rocks protruding out of the water a short distance from the shores. The white sands are matched only by one of Exuma's best sunsets. Unfortunately, a stay along the region's legendary beach doesn't come cheap.
As it stands now, the official Palms at Three Sisters is offering condos with prices starting at around $1,300,000US. There is a hotel located next to the development offering rooms starting at $150 per day.

Saddle Cay
For those who seek isolation, consider hiring a boat and making your way to Saddle Cay. With no hotels or restaurants, the island gives visitors a chance to experience untouched nature. In addition to the isolation, the sheltered region is ideal for swimming.
Because of the lack of facilities, reaching the beach will require some extra effort on the part of the traveler. Rather than cede to laziness, pack yourself a picnic, grab that special someone, and get that privacy that you so desperately crave.
When To Go
When considering spending some time on Excuma's beaches, you'll likely want to avoid the rainy season, which runs from May to October. Beyond that, the region is open to be visited at any time.
Expect daily averages in the area to range anywhere from 62°F (17°C) in January to 66°F (19°C) in April. Highs during the tourist season will rise up towards 82°F (28°C).
Getting There & Around
To reach the cays, fly into the Exuma International Airport, which services flights from North American and the Bahamas' capital city of Nassau. Exploring the region will require a car to get around and a boat to explore other islands.
Average Costs
- Mid-range accommodations: $150-200
- Meal: $15-30
