The Office of Spiritual and Religious Life supports members of the Allegheny community in learning, growing in leadership, and developing as whole persons. We seek to nurture and encourage persons of faith to deepen their engagement with their own faith traditions, while developing respect for difference. We work with other constituents to enhance the spiritual dimension of all persons' lives, reach out in service to the local and global community, and address spiritual issues of concern that will lead to positive transformation of individuals, the institution, and the world.
At Allegheny College, we strive to engage people of faith, whether they are Catholic or Jewish, Hindu or Presbyterian, as well as those who seek spiritual enrichment in less formal experiences, or aren't sure what they believe. We recognize that intellectual development must be balanced by opportunities to explore questions of meaning, purpose, and values, and to grow in compassion and connection to others.
Students of faith can deepen roots in their own tradition through:
- Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish worship services on campus
- Observance of important Islamic and Hindu holy days
- Fellowship groups that gather to pray, study, and worship
- Retreats to steal a few hours away from it all
- Bible studies and prayer groups
- Shabbat dinners
- Mission trips and service projects
- Movie nights, cookouts, and other activities that help form lasting friendships
Dealing with Difference
Interfaith Fellowship welcomes all students who want to learn about other faiths and explore spiritual questions together.
We take diversity seriously, even when that means wrestling with the hard questions about pluralism and conflicts between certain beliefs and social issues.
Not Religious?
We partner with others on campus to explore the inner life through encounters with nature, animals, and the arts. Some recent events:
- An Evening with Alexander String Quartet
Dinner, music and conversation with world-class musicians
- Blessing of the Animals
Celebration of the creatures who share our homes and lives
- Wilderness Retreat
A day away from the books to restore the soul
- Interfaith Earth Day Service
A service in praise of creation, held in the midst of the natural world
We're here for you
A full-time Chaplain is available as a resource for the community on spiritual and religious issues, and for pastoral and vocational counseling. Other staff members provide support and resources for specific faith groups. Our door is open to all members of the Allegheny community.

In the week of the 70th anniversary of the Dambusters raid, Dame Judi became a patron member of the Upkeep Club, a name chosen to reflect both its purpose and to reference Bomber Command's most famous night, when bouncing bombs codenamed Upkeep breached two Ruhr dams.
The RAF Benevolent Fund, which has taken on the guardianship of the memorial, is looking for 1,000 people to donate a minimum of £1,000 each to become members of the club to raise the final £1.5m needed to maintain the £9m monument in perpetuity.
Dame Judi, whose late husband Michael Williams spent two years in the RAF, said: "I'm very proud indeed to be a patron of the Upkeep Club. This beautiful statue commemorates so many young men and we need people to remember them.
"It's a lovely place, a lovely situation, and through membership of the Upkeep Club people can directly support the commemoration of those who died for our individual and national freedoms."
The memorial was unveiled by the Queen in June last year following a four-year fundraising campaign during which Telegraph readers donated more than £1m towards the final total.
One of the first people to join the Upkeep Club was Igraine Hamilton, a 92-year-old WAAF veteran who served at RAF Stradishall in Suffolk.
She said: "You met the people and they go off and they don't come back and you don't know whether they've crashed or been taken prisoner or been injured, there was no end to it.
"It's very important that there is a memorial that people can come and look at and it's important that it is maintained."
She was joined by another of the first members of the club, Air Commodore Charles Clarke, who was shot down on his 18th raid as a Lancaster bomb aimer and spent much of the war as a prisoner in Stalag Luft III, where he helped prepare the Great Escape.
To join the Upkeep Club phone 0800 1982400 or email email@example.com.

It's office Christmas party season, which is usually the time when we all get to see executives and bosses in a whole new different light – sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Word has reached us from across the Tasman that Westpac staff in New Zealand recently got to see a whole lot more of the bank's NZ chief executive,
According to a recent report in the New Zealand Herald, Frazis cut some seriously good moves on the dance floor at the bank's Christmas party as part of a dance routine performed by some Westpac executives, which culminated in Frazis ripping off his T-shirt to reveal a large Superman-style red W across his stomach to the crowd.
One witness told the Herald that "our jaws just dropped" at the sight of Frazis's red W, while another added that at least Frazis was in good shape: "He's been working out."
It's been quite a year for Frazis – considered a contender to one day succeed Westpac boss
But it is his Christmas party antics that have won him his latest bit of fame. Westpac in Australia wasn't saying much yesterday but we were told Frazis has some previous form in the dancing department, having been quite the mover and shaker on the dance floor in his days at NAB.
We're not sure whether similar stunts will be pulled at the various big four bank Christmas parties that take place in the coming weeks. Mike Smith with blue letters spelling out ANZ across his chest? Ralph Norris with CBA? Cameron Clyne with NAB?

The stock market indices had a vacillating-type, consolidation day, as the four-day sideways move continued today. Although they closed down a little bit today, the path was different.
They opened sharply lower, bounced back quickly and then rolled over. The Nasdaq 100 made new lows for the day, but the S&P 500 did not, which set up a positive divergence. That caused a 3-wave rally, bringing the NDX back from 1892 to 1908 in the afternoon. The SPX at that point rallied from 1119 1/2 to 1126 1/2. They rolled over in the last half hour, but in the last 5- minutes snapped back again to pare the losses.
Net on the day the Dow was down 5.45 at 10674.98, the S&P 500 1.43 at 1125.81, and the Nasdaq 100 down 4.25 at 1904.95.
Advance-declines were about 3 to 2 negative on New York and about 2 to 1 negative on Nasdaq. Up/down volume was about 3 to 2 negative as well on New York and about 5 to 3 negative on Nasdaq.
A lot of stocks we follow did well today. Transocean (RIG) on news of capping of the well jumped 4.37 to 57.93 to lead the gainers on our board today.
Polypore International (PPO) advanced 2.70 to 26.89. Affymax (AFFY) was up 1.70 to 8.13. RINO International (RINO) gained 1.30 to 15.21. BP (BP) was up 1.29 to 40.68. And in the ETF sector, the Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares (TZA) gained 1.01 to 30.92.
Other gainers of note, Trina Solar (TSL), our favorite junior solar stock, was up 40 cents to 22.84. Pactiv (PTV) advanced 39 cents to 30.83, IDT Corp (IDT) 1.11 to 18.97, and China Agritech (CAGC) 69 cents to 14.02.
On the downside, Cree Inc. (CREE) was the loss leader, down 3.55 at 70.18. Apple (AAPL) dropped 1.28 to 261.70, and Dendreon (DNDN) 1.31 to 38.47. Those were the only point-plus losers on our board.
Among fractional losses of note, Cirrus (CRUS) gave back 80 cents to 19.60, OmniVision (OVTI ) 48 cents to 23.60, Tesla Motors (TSLA) 81 cents to 20.45, and Valassis Communications (VCI) 82 cents to 34.03.
Other losses on our board were just very fractional.
Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices were down in the morning, up mid-day and early afternoon, and backed off into the last hour only to snap back again in the last 5-10 minutes to pare the losses and end just fractionally lower on the day. So it was a nominally lower day, but overall part of a consolidation process that has continued over the last four sessions.
I expect with the labor report tomorrow we may get a breakout of the trading range. We'll see how it goes.
Good trading!

Andreas Gabriel
|Academic Grade:
|Research Interests:
|Entanglement Detection and Characterisation, Multipartite Entanglement Classification, State Space Geometry
|My interest for physics awakened in the 7th grade at school, when my class was assigned a new physics teacher. Very soon I began reading populary science books by Richard Feynman and others, becoming more and more intrigued by quantum theory. By the time I finished school, there was no doubt left about what I would study and when I attended my first quantum mechanics lecture, deciding a topic for my diploma thesis was not hard either.

Finally, the major pet product retailers are starting to stock some more stylish options, like the Dream Curl from Petlinks System. The Dream Curl is a stylish scratcher that provides a variety of surfaces for scratching, playing, and lounging. It incorporates both carpet and sisal, allowing kitty to choose her favorite. The curved form creates areas for napping and perching, plus there is even a little toy that hangs underneath the curve for a fun surprise every time kitty walks by.
I purchased one of these the very first time I saw it and I have to say, it is one of the cats' most favorite objects. Everyone takes turns lounging, jumping, and scratching on it. (At this very moment, Dazzler and Flora are both kicking the heck out of it.) The little toy came off right away, but it was a good idea. The cats absolutely love their Dream Curl, plus it is quite durable (except for the toy). There is almost always someone playing in it, on it, or under it. This is an extremely well-designed product with a very affordable price tag.

Mr. Norris was married only last summer, and the march from "Lohengrin" is simply sticking out all over "Blix."
I was happy; for the first time since the night I had heard "Lohengrin" I was happy and at rest.
Lohengrin bids a last farewell to the weeping Elsa, and turns once more to the river.
He labored incessantly to get a hearing for the "Lohengrin" and "Tannhuser."
Many think it is finer even than The Rhinegold and Lohengrin.
Is not Don Juan as immortal a personage in art as Lohengrin?
The theater season closed with that evening on which "Lohengrin" was performed.
The so-called Wagner movement may be said to have dated from this production of "Lohengrin."
"Don't lie awake thinking about Lohengrin," said her mother kissing her good-night.
The narrative of Lohengrin is suggested by Wolfram's "Parzival."

We Get It, Holly Madison, You Look Great Pregnant In A Bikini (I'm Still Going To Look At You Though)
Here's Holly Madison continuing to showcase how awesome she looks pregnant (Yoga, ladies. yoga.) because the father of her baby is currently on trial for bribery and embezzlement, so it's important to let other dudes know she's totally going to bounce back from this kid business. In fact, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to also tattoo a map of where all the stolen money is on her back just so they know she's not a gold-digger. Anymore.

Doug Clark: Simple quiz tests ability to get grip on gridlock
Thu., Oct. 3, 2013
We're living in the craziest times.
The federal government can't function. Meanwhile, any 17-year-old counter worker at Dick's can take the burger orders from a busload of basketball players without using a notepad.
No wonder that so many Americans are suffering from government shutdown-related gridlock. (An actual psychiatric condition found on page 19,345 of the Affordable Care Act.)
So how gridlocked are you?
To find out, I've prepared an easy-to-take exam to measure your PGL (Personal Gridlock Level).
Answer the questions honestly. Then we'll count your meds at the end to see how much intervention you need.
1. How often do you think about the government shutdown while you're at work?
A. Twice. (1 Xanax)
B. Five or six times, maybe. (5 Xanax)
C. My boss told me to go home because I'm "a nonessential employee." (10 Xanax)
2. I blame the government shutdown on …
A. Democrats. (1 Xanax)
B. Republicans. (5 Xanax)
C. The superhuman bladder control of Sen. Ted Cruz. (10 Xanax)
3. If I had to make a comparison, I'd say this government shutdown is …
A. Flakier than psoriasis. (1 Xanax)
B. More painful than hemorrhoids. (5 Xanax)
C. Dumber than a Dennis Rodman trip to North Korea. (10 Xanax)
4. The individuals we elect to the country's highest positions of leadership can't get along with each other. They behave like babies. Pick the answer that best describes how this makes you feel.
A. The rest of the world must be laughing at us. (1 Xanax)
B. Sometimes I want to hide under a rock. (5 Xanax)
C. Congress makes the Spokane City Council look dignified, almost. (10 Xanax)
5. Despite the government shutdown, I'd still rather see my child grow up to be a member of Congress than a …
A. Car thief. (1 Xanax)
B. Grave robber. (5 Xanax)
C. Columnist. (10 Xanax)
6. Pick the punch line to the following joke: If I saw a politician on fire, I would …
A. Text the fire department. (1 Xanax)
B. Yell "Fire!" loudly before running away. (5 Xanax)
C. Roll him to within 25 feet of a doorway and have him cited for smoking in public. (10 Xanax)
7. Even in the midst of a government shutdown I take exception to the above joke because …
A. It's highly distasteful. (1 Xanax)
B. Smoldering politicians are no laughing matter. (5 Xanax)
C. One of the choices should have been about Lindsey Grahamcrackers and making s'mores. (10 Xanax)
8. There's so much ill will in the nation's capital right now. Getting Republicans and Democrats to compromise would probably take …
A. Divine intervention. (1 Xanax)
B. Bribes, bribes and more bribes. (5 Xanax)
C. All the medical marijuana in Washington state. (10 Xanax)
9. Shutting down the government is such an emotional issue. Thinking about it makes me feel …
A. Sad. (1 Xanax)
B. Confused. (5 Xanax)
C. Nostalgic for those happier times when we were on the brink of bombing Syria. (10 Xanax)
OK. Let's count your tranquilizers to see how you did.
If your Xanax total is 13 or less, you probably weren't aware the government was having any problems. Go back to sleep. Sorry to bother you.
A pile of 50 to 60 or so happy pills shows you have moderate gridlock and would benefit from a mild laxative or adding more fiber to your diet.
A perfect score of 90 Xanax reveals that you have been exposed to too much talk radio. Your gridlock is terminal and an Obamacare "death panel" should be contacting you soon.

Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson Are a Couple of 'Turkeys'
by Ethan Anderton
March 18, 2010
For quite some time Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson have been great friends, but haven't managed to make a movie together, until now. However, they won't exactly be appearing on-screen together as EW's Hollywood Insider says they will voice two animated turkeys, Reggie and Brock, who find a time machine and travel back to the first Thanksgiving to take themselves off the menu.The film is aptly titled Turkeys and will also feature Luke Wilson's vocal talents as well. I have high hopes for this one as it comes from director Ash Brannon who was responsible for two of my favorite animated films Surf's Up and Toy Story 2.
Peter Farrelly (one half of the Farrelly Brothers duo) is executive producing and was extremely excited about it. "I flipped out about the concept for Turkeys and started yapping about the possibilities. I guess I kind of glommed on." Turkeys is the first project for Bedrock Studios, a newly formed company that Walden Media executive Cary Granat and former ILM executive Ed Jones started to create family films in the under-$35 million range. This concept sounds really cool and has great comedic possibilities. If you haven't seen Surf's Up, I recommend checking it out as it's an entertaining animated film in the form of Christopher Guest's traditional mockumentaries combined with beautiful animation and the voice talents of Shia LeBeouf, Jeff Bridges and Zooey Deschanel. No word on when this will be released so stay tuned for more updates.

The alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks and four co-accused will be tried at a civilian court in New York, a city still scarred by the traumatic events, a military lawyer said Friday.
Attorney General Eric Holder was to formally announce later Friday that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others, currently detained at Guantanamo Bay, will face trial in the Southern District of New York.
Some court houses that could host the trial are not far from Ground Zero, once the site of the World Trade Center destroyed by two hijacked planes in the September 11 attacks.
Almost 3,000 people were killed in the attacks which also hit the Pentagon, while another plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when the passengers overpowered the hijackers.
Friday's move is key to President Barack Obama's plans to close the controversial detention center but is not expected to affect the vast majority of the 215 detainees who remain at the US military base in southern Cuba.
It is also signals a major shift in the treatment of "war on terror" suspects and raises serious legal questions about evidence potentially tainted by harsh interrogation techniques such as waterboarding.
Obama had pledged to inform a Guantanamo judge by Monday whether to try the men before US federal courts or military tribunals launched under the previous administration of George W. Bush.
"I am absolutely convinced Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be subject to the most exacting demands of justice," Obama said in Tokyo.
A military lawyer involved with the Guantanamo tribunals confirmed to AFP on condition of anonymity that Sheikh Mohammed and the suspected 9/11 co-plotters would be tried in New York.
"We do feel that it will lead to a fairer process," he said.
Two other Guantanamo detainees will face trial before the controversial military commissions, he told AFP.
They are Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, accused of plotting the 2000 USS Cole bombing, and Mohammed Kamin, an Afghan citizen, alleged to belong to Al-Qaeda.
The military tribunals have been mired in controversy since they were established by Bush in late 2001 to deal with "war on terror" suspects.
In 2006, the US Supreme Court ruled they were illegal, but Congress adopted a new law to re-establish them and allowed indirect witness statements or testimony won under duress to be submitted as evidence.
Families of the September 11 victims branded Friday's decision "a terrible mistake."
"To allow a terrorist and a war criminal the opportunity of having US constitutional protections is a wrong thing to do and it's never been done before," said Ed Kowalski of the 9/11 Families for a Secure America Foundation.
Senior officials have acknowledged the Obama administration is unlikely to meet the January 22 deadline to close the prison that the president set just two days after taking office.
Hours before Holder was set to make his announcement at 1600 GMT, Greg Craig, the man charged by the White House with shutting Guantanamo, resigned.
Obama said in a statement he was "indebted" to Craig, who is returning to private practice and will be replaced as White House counsel by Bob Bauer, the president's personal lawyer.
Sheikh Mohammed and co-defendants Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, Walid bin Attash and Mustapha al-Hawsawi are expected to have new charges drawn up for their civilian trials, the dates of which are not yet known.
The five men have already been charged with murder by a military commission at Guantanamo. The hearings were suspended when Obama launched a huge policy review at the start of his presidency.
Sheikh Mohammed has claimed to have been behind not just the September 11 attacks, blamed on the Al-Qaeda network, but also some 30 operations against the West in the decade before his arrest.
He also said he killed US journalist Daniel Pearl, abducted in Karachi, Pakistan in early 2002, "with my blessed right hand."
"I'm looking to be a martyr for long time," Mohammed, a Kuwaiti of Pakistani origin, told a hearing at Guantanamo in June last year, the first time he had been seen in public since his capture on March 1, 2003 in Pakistan.
Dubbed "KSM" by counter-terrorism officials, he was handed over to US agents who held him in secret prisons for over three years before sending him to the Guantanamo in September 2006.
He is known to have been "waterboarded" or subjected to simulated drowning more than 100 times during his five years in US custody.

Deconstructing Dead Space
Dead Space 3 is here and its release has been met with its fair share of controversy – first it was the introduction of co-op, which some say has all but diluted the survival horror DNA of the first two games.
Then came word on the introduction of micro transactions, followed by the news that EA and Visceral would be shipping this third iteration with a whopping 11 chunks of downloadable content.
Reviews have unanimous in a single train of thought, including our Dead Space 3 review: Visceral has ultimately delivered a highly polished, albeit infinitely less frightening affair, than the original and its grandiose 2011 sequel, which itself was met with protest due to the introduction of competitive multiplayer (now shelved for Dead Space 3).
Cast your mind back to last year when EA President Frank Gibeau went on record stating that Dead Space 3 needs to broaden its appeal in a bid to ship somewhere in the region of 5 million copies to warrant a stay of execution. Clearly the pressure is on and the screws have been turning, but expansion appears to have always been the plan for the team at Visceral.
"The developers always wanted to go bigger"
"I know the developers always wanted to go bigger, in terms of scope. And I've mentioned before that the universe we created was huge, with lots of elements, which simply didn't make it into the first game. So to get that story told, to round out the universe, it was inevitable the settings and environments would open out a bit, become a bit more epic in scale. Otherwise you'd just have the same game on a different ship each time, and that's pretty dull," says original Dead Space writer, Antony Johnston, of the series' evolution from deep space terror to gung-ho shooter.
Johnston, a comic scribe, game writer and all-round wordsmith not only developed the narrative for the original game back in 2006, but also played an extremely pivotal role in conjuring the universe that Visceral has created, through numerous comic books and subsequent spin-offs including Dead Space: Extraction, Dead Space: Ignition and Dead Space Mobile.
And yet, despite the broad body of Dead Space work, and having played such an important role in crafting this vast universe we've come to know since its inception, Johnston is keen to point out that in game development it's very much about collaboration unlike, say, the job of a screenwriter (with some exceptions, of course).
"I came up with a lot of the colony stuff myself, and there were some elements on the ship, mostly character stuff, that I was involved in. But there was an equal amount already in place, or stuff the developers came up with; games writing and design are very collaborative and iterative processes," he says. "The further into development you go, the more difficult it becomes to point to a specific element and say, 'oh, yes, that was mine.' And now that we're several years after the fact, it's even harder! There was input from all sides, throughout the whole process."
Original Dead Space vs Dead Space 2
Whilst Dead Space 2 upped the action considerably and its three-quel opted to capitalize on that, the original game will be remembered for its ability to the shred the nerves of gamers as they trawled through the bowels of the USS Ishimura in search of answers, waiting for the flesh hungry Necromorphs to pounce at every turn.
"For that first game, it was always meant to be scary and slow-paced, like what we now think of as a 'traditional' survival horror," says Johnston of the team's pure intentions to deliver a slew of zero gravity frights with the original game.
From our conversation with Johnston it's clear he is a purest in terms of survival horror, citing Silent Hill 2 as his favourite digital fright fest of all time, but believes what classifies a game as horror has changed with the passing of time and progression of ideas.
"Many people seem to judge whether or not a game is survival horror by mechanics and gameplay; third-person, slow mechanics, weird camera angles, that sort of thing. But I think that's short sighted. Look at Amnesia, which is an FPS with no weapons; or Home, which is a 2D side-scroller. But both of those games are superb recent examples of survival horror."
Johnston is right, what makes a survival horror game is changing – sometimes for the worse (Resident Evil 6) and sometimes for the better (any of the above) – and we need to accept that.
Dead Space 3: Sales Over Fear?
Still, as gamers we want to feel the fear, the dread at encountering something devilish at every turn or each time we enter a darkened room. It's that drip-fed terror that hooks us, drives us through the narrative to see what kind of new monster the developer will hurl at us.
The original Dead Space had that in spades, whilst its follow-up played brilliantly on the psychological damage the Marker had inflicted on series' hero, Isaac – no one will ever forget that ingenious moment in Dead Space 2 where Visceral tasked you with corkscrewing a syringe deep into the core of Isaac's jittery eyeball. It's flashes of brilliance like that that mean the first two chapters in Isaac's saga will undoubtedly stand the test of time in the hearts of horror hounds or newcomers in search of that one good scare.
Dead Space 3 has eschewed most of this in favour of transitioning the series from survival horror to all-out action thriller; a necessary evil – and very tough balancing act – it would seem in that all-important dash to increase sales and broaden the series' fan base, just like Frank Gibeau said in 2012.
"I'm personally a big fan of old-school survival horror, and that was one of the main reasons I wanted to work on Dead Space. So the greater emphasis on big action in the sequels means they're not really for me. But as you say, it's a necessary evil in order to broaden the fan base, and it's a very difficult balancing act to pull off. So far, I think Visceral has done an admirable job of maintaining that balance," says Johnston.
And while Johnston admits that the action route wasn't really his thing, it wasn't because of this that he was unable to pick up the pen and paper and map out Isaac's journey for Dead Space 2 and 3. It was, in fact, a much a more practical choice – that and a little bit of friendly competition.
"With Dead Space 2, I was already busy with Extraction, Ignition, DS Mobile, and the Salvage graphic novel, all of which were in development around the same time. Mainly, though, Jeremy Bernstein just kind of slipped in there before me, approaching EA on spec to work on the sequel! Not that I would have had time anyway, because of doing all the 'extended universe' stuff. But Jeremy and I did have a bit of a laugh about that when we first met at GDC a couple of years ago, and we've become friends as a result, so it's all-good. Visceral did approach me about doing more 'side' stuff for Dead Space 3, but some I had to turn down, and some just didn't work out. That's the way it goes sometimes."
"This is a good place to finish Dead Space"
With Dead Space 3 finally arriving at stores, it won't be long before gamers get the chance to voice their opinion on the alterations made to the series they've stuck with since 2008, but once that happens attentions will inevitably turn to future instalments and what's next for the ill-fated Isaac and the Necromorphs. Like us, Johnston agrees that now might be the best time to end our hero's journey.
"From what I know of Dead Space 3, I think this is probably a good place to finish it. The only way I could see it continue is with an entirely new scenario and characters, and I'm not sure that would appeal much to the fans in any case. All good stories have an ending. There's nothing wrong with that," says Johnston.
We can't help but agree, but somehow we get the feeling that EA might not share the sentiment. And with that, let the guessing games begin.

Flea & Tick Products Market: Overview
Flea and tick infestations, along with other intestinal parasites like heartworms are controlled primarily by using various pesticides. Animal Health Institute associates work in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency to accredit safe and efficient chemical agents in order to combat the spread of these parasites to the human population and to keep animals healthy. Ticks are known to be very harmful for pets and can cause transmitting diseases like Lyme disease. These pets can bring ticks into the human population and can cause illness from a tick bite. There are several repellents, insect killers and growth inhibitors are available commercially in the market to protect pets from flea and tick bites.
Some of these products are exclusively available at a veterinarian's and other products are available over the counter. The products to protect pets from flea and tick bites include oral pills, sprays, spot-ons, powders, shampoos and other liquid products that are squeezed onto the pets' skin. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, approximately 44,000 potential cases were registered related to spot-on products safety and efficacy in 2008. These spot-on products are usually sold in vials or tubes and the active ingredients in these products include permethrin, pyriproxyfen, etofenprox, fipronil, imidicloprid, cyphenothrin, amitraz and dinotefuron. The common adverse reactions associated with spot-on products are seizures, skin irritation and in some cases, it can lead to death.
Flea & Tick Products Market: Regulatory Overview
The regulatory authorities that are involved in the regulation of these pets flea and tick products include Animal & Veterinary – Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Among these, FDA is responsible for the regulation of animal drugs and the products to manage external parasites come in authority of EPA. Further, FDA needs to approve animal drugs before its commercialization in the market, whereas pesticides can be marketed only after its approval from EPA. In general, FDA regulates the flea and tick products that are administered orally or by injection. Thus, both the regulatory bodies work together to ensure the devotion of all the regulations and applicable laws.
Flea & Tick Products Market: Key Drivers
The global market for flea and tick products is expected to record a significant growth rate in next few years. The growth would be observed due to increasing number of indulgent pet parents, rising number of pets (cats and dogs) and increasing demand for premium pet services and products. Additionally, increasing number of pet-owning households and rising per capita disposable income of population further expected to accentuate the growth of this market. For an instance, according to the American Pet Product Association's (APPA) national pet owner's survey, the average amount of money that is spent on their pets for food is USD 250 annually and is expected increase in near future. Hence, increasing pet-owner's spending on their pets subsequently would increase the demand for flea and tick products.
Flea & Tick Products Market: Region-wise Outlook
Geographically, North America accounts for the largest share of the flea and tick products market followed by the European region. The dominance of North America in this industry is mainly due to strong sales of pet products driven by pet owners ever more humanizing their products. Consequently, large number of new products and services are emerged in this market along with the number of pet stores to offer premium veterinary services. Moreover, presence of large number of market players in this region and increased focus of regulatory authorities such as FDA and EPA towards the health issues of pets further boosting the growth of this market. European flea and tick products market follows the North America market due to increasing number of pet-owning households and rising per capita disposable income.

Cardiff Bus has been criticised by passengers after the company took away a direct route to Thornhill Crematorium.
The number 27 Cardiff Bus has been rerouted at the Llanishen part of the route so it fails to travel up Thornhill Road, towards Caerphilly, meaning pensioners who want to get to Thornhill Crematorium have to walk or take an alternative service which goes the opposite way to the site, and takes up to an hour and a half to get to.
Ruth Thomas' mother, Dorothy Casey, is a regular bus user and the 27 service helped her maintain her independence during the daytime when Ruth is unable to give her lifts.
Mrs Casey, who is 79, said: "I use the buses five or six times a week, going out with my family or doing my Christian work.
" I first realised the route had changed when I was on the number 27 and I had to get off and walk for about 15 minutes before I got home, whereas before, the stop I got off at was across the road. I don't think they thought this one out really."
Daughter Ruth said: "Most of the residents in Edgehill Court , where my mother and I live, are elderly or disabled and are now relying on the generosity of neighbours to take them shopping due to the number 27 diverting to the new route into Templeton Avenue, instead of travelling up to Thornhill."
Peter Straiton, of Rhiwbina, Cardiff said: "There are a lot of elderly people who have relatives at the Crematorium but at the moment there is no direct route up to the crematorium.
"Cardiff Bus has stated that we were consulted, but I do not know of anyone who was asked about the new routes in Llanishen."
Gareth Stevens, business development manager at Cardiff Bus, said: "It is still possible to travel by Cardiff Bus to Thornhill Crematorium, as indeed it is to almost all corners of the city from early to late, seven days of the week.
"The changes made to route 27 were to address two issues following customer feedback, which we take very seriously.
"The change also addressed the feedback from customers in the Templeton Avenue areas not having direct access to Cardiff North Medical Centre and Sainsbury's at Thornhill.
"This change addressed these requests.
"Thornhill Crematorium can be reached by using Cardiff Bus route 28 and Stagecoach routes A & B.
"The Stagecoach routes will also take the residents of Edgehill Court to Morrisons as the 27 did, while Sainsbury's can be reached by catching the 28 to Templeton Avenue and changing to a 27 which runs every 12 minutes.
For people returning from Sainsbury's they will use the 28 bus as they have always done."

How dangerous is al-Qaeda?
Nine months into the war on terror, the threat from al-Qaeda is still real. The organisation is down but not out.
The trouble with the threat from al-Qaeda is that it's unseen and undefined.
Western intelligence believes that it could come from any one of several directions:
So, if all these threats are still out there, then what progress has been made in America's War on Terror?
Military front
Nearly 10 months into the campaign, George Bush chose this Independence Day to give his audience an update.
"In Afghanistan we defeated the Taleban regime. That was just the first step," he said.
There is no question that the West's war in Afghanistan has been a military success.
Al-Qaeda has largely been driven from its caves, its members are on the run, and their training camps destroyed. But Western forces never found their key target.
Osama Bin Laden and most al-Qaeda leaders are still at large.
They are reported to have told their followers: go back to where you came from, lie low, and strike when you can.
Already this year, there have been deadly bombings in Pakistan and Tunisia.
They are being blamed on al-Qaeda sympathisers - proof that militant Islamists still have the motivation and the means to strike at the West.
Financial front
Cut off al-Qaeda's money and its attacks will dry up. At least, that was the thinking last year.
But it hasn't been as simple as that.
US Treasury officials told me they had identified five sources of al-Qaeda's funding.
First, there are rich donors from the Middle East.
Then there are certain Islamic charities, often where the donors do not even know who they are funding.
Then there are the legitimate businesses.
And also smuggling, especially of guns and drugs.
Finally, there is Osama Bin Laden's own wealth. Not huge, but still estimated at millions of dollars.

Is Greed Good?
Is Greed Good?
By Anthea Butler
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.
Sounds almost like a religious scripture, doesn't it? The 1987 movie Wall Street, starring Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen, was memorable for its line "Greed is good"; Michael Douglas' character, Gordon Gekko, personified all that greed could attain ... and corrupt.
Our question this week poses a different inflection on that statement, and asks "Is Greed Good?" Is greed necessary to uphold the global system of financial markets, philanthropy, and trade that has become unstable and unreliable in the last year, or is it a temptation that keeps people away from true spirituality and values?
In a world of government bailouts, failing corporations, Ponzi schemes, and home foreclosures, perhaps it is easy to say that greed is the root cause of the global financial bust. No one believed that the financial markets would fail so miserably, or that the reckoning would come so soon. Yet lest anyone think that this bust broke the cycle, just this past week Goldman Sachs posted nearly a $3.5 billion quarterly profit, despite the fact that they received a government bailout. Now, the firm will seek to reward their remaining employees with larger bonuses. All of this could make you think that Gordon Gekko is a prophet after all ... though a celluloid one.
Yet during the financial boom, poverty remained and it continues to remain ever present. In the Christian scriptures, Jesus says, "The poor you will have with you always" (Mt. 26:11; Mk. 14:7). In some religious traditions, the impoverished are afforded an important place within the echelons of religious life, their lives held up as spiritual exemplars.
So then, is greed necessary to maintain a balance between the spiritual realms of good and evil, wealth and poverty? Is greed the yin to poverty's yang? Or is it something more? And what constitutes greed? Is greed the pursuit of making money at any cost, or desiring more than what one is able to afford? If one is already wealthy, is it greedy to want more, even if more means being able to give more to those in need? These are valid questions that strike at the core of most spiritual, religious, and social questions surrounding the pursuit of financial gain, and what it should be used for.
As background to these Public Square articles, it is perhaps important to consider that in the western context, one book that has framed the conversation about "greed" is Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, published in 1934. Weber asserted that capitalism stemmed in part from the Calvinist ethic of hard work inherent in the lives of such groups as the Puritans. The pursuits and habits that surrounded the Puritans favored the "rational" pursuit of economic gain. Greed, for Weber, was not a rational pursuit; rather, greed was rooted in the idea of profit for minimum effort. Greed, according to Weber, was not a component of capitalism. As he wrote, "Unlimited Greed for Gain, is not in the least identical to capitalism, and is still less its spirit. Capitalism may even be identical with restraint, or at least a rational tempering of this irrational impulse."

Bert Randolph Sugar was fond of hats, cigars and old school sports writing. Modern sports writing and blogging? Not so much.
Sugar, boxing writer, historian, broadcaster, character, and bon vivant, died Sunday at age 75 at a medical center near his home in Chappaqua, N.Y., after a battle with lung cancer.
One of his many opinions was that it was better for young sports writers to go to a bar, even if they just had a soda, and listen to older sportswriters than it was for them to go to their hotel rooms and sit at their laptops.
Sugar said he grew up with such sportswriting heroes as Shirley Povich, Damon Runyon, Ring Lardner and Paul Gallico. Here are some excerpts from a 2010 interview Sugar did with a website, BigThink.com:
On the profession: "Sports writing is almost an extinct species, or soon to be. Point being, they're writing for blogs and they don't have a discipline. Once they state a subject, they can go on. There's no space restraint. And they're writing quickly, so there's no time for thought and cerebral thinking on an article, they're just banging away.''
Advice to youngsters: "We used to sit at bars and tell stories; Toots Shor's, for example, in New York. And we would tell—drink, yes, tell stories, yes, yes and yes. And the young kids, at which point I was one, would listen to the old timers. Now, the kids don't go to the bars, I don't care if they drink, have a Coke, but hear the stories. Don't go up to your room to figure out on your laptop how many free flyer miles you have, sit and hear what it is you're doing so you have a reference value. Sports did not start in 1979 with the beginning of ESPN."
On a story told him by another sportswriter nicknamed Drebby about the time the writers were sharing a train ride with the New York Yankees and playing cards when Babe Ruth ran down the aisle naked: "And they look up; they fan out their cards more. And the door slams again, and here comes a woman chasing him, equally as naked, with a knife in her hand. And Drebby says, one of the writers said, "Well there's another story we're not going to cover." Because that's what it was like in those days. You protected your heroes."
On an exchange he once had with Yogi Berra of the Yankees: "I said: 'Yogs, what did you mean when you said, when you come to a fork in the road, take it.' He said, 'That's easy, I live at the end of a circle. Whether you go left or right, you come to my driveway.' And I went, 'He's making sense.' And if you parse, analyze, Yogi's sayings, he does makes sense.''
On his hats: "It's a panama in the summer. It's a fedora in the winter. So I change my hats with the season, also my drinks. But it's fun. I'm now identified by my hat, which means less people are wearing them, and have been really since John Kennedy didn't wear one at his inauguration in '61."

Hi michael,
I remember something like this with the van.... it was in 1996 or 1997. There was people rushing after course to get food. It was canceled and the guy was told not to come over anymore. Stupid "They" ! That person was upset as this was his job. He was not a scientologist. He kept coming anyway but security told the public they could not buy from him anymore and so they put him out of business. The Church then opened up a new cantine for the public and got their money of course. The food was not great neither. Public at later time were told not to go to some restaurant as the owners were against scientology. Weird no ?
Hey chlng
No sorry, I was speak about ASHO where it is now. Dave was at ASHO up to 2006 I think. Then he was given to AOLA for the training evolution. He went to FSO for training as a NOTS auditor. Then I don't know since then ??? if he is still there or at FSO ?
I was at ASHO in the late 90s in the SO and early 90s as a public.
I aim to misbehave.
For some odd reason the idea of there being a sandwich van really rings a bell. I remember many of us hanging out behind the ASHO building eating lunch with a food van serving up food. Does anyone remember this or are my memories messed up?
I was at ASHO in LA on the SHSBC from March 1980 thru August 1980. These names come to mind: Linda Calfademos (the manager of an apartment complex I stayed in on the west side of Vermont north of Sunset), James Marchand, whom I roomed with, Mark Algotts who was on the SHSBC. I wish I could remember more names. There was an AOLA supervisor on the Solo Auditors Course at AOLA named Shelly. She had an accent. I was always amused when she called out roll call and pronounced my hometown friends last name which was "Harvey" as "Ah-Vay".
On the SHSBC I became a bogged student. I attested to "clear" (big deal! It didn't solve anything!). After leaving the cult in 1985 I found out how and why I became bogged student and it was all related to LRH's flawed study tech! Fortunately I unraveled that mess and discovered how and why I became a bogged student. (And doing the Purif later in 1980 did not solve the reason why I became a bogged student!)
When James and I first arrived in LA in March 1980 we searched for a weekend job to make some extra cash to financially survive better. We spent one day working in an alfalfa sprouts factory. We didn't increase their stats for the day so they let us go. (They ran their company per LRH Admin Tech.)...... I ended up taking on a weekend janitor job cleaning up various businesses around the LA area which I actually liked. It was more rewarding than doing the SHSBC. James ended up as a door-door salesman selling water purifiers. LOL. OH! The memories of LA during those times. So tragic! The best part was leaving in August for home! And did I mention the nasty cockroach infestation in the apartment building we stayed in?

Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released the following statement today after Senate Republicans voted overwhelmingly against the conference report for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. Senate Democrats were able to defeat Republican attempts to block this important legislation:
"I am pleased that today we were able to move the conference report for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 a step closer to passage this afternoon. But I'm disappointed that Senate Republicans have decided that defeating hate crimes legislation takes precedent over supporting our troops.
"It is outrageous and unacceptable that Senate Republicans would vote against pay raises for our troops, battlefield equipment upgrades and increased funding for veterans' health care as we continue to fight two wars. And they decided to do this all for the sake of stopping passage of landmark legislation that will bring justice to those who commit violent crimes based on bigotry and prejudice. What message does that send to our country and, more importantly, to our troops?"

|And I still don't trust mainstream games, or game services companies enough to install anything they distribute.
November 2011 hack
On November 6, 2011, Steam temporarily closed the community forums, citing potential hacking threats to the service. Subsequently, on November 10, Valve reported that the hack included a compromise of one of their customer databases, potentially allowing the perpetrators to access customer information including encrypted password and credit card details. At that time, Valve was not aware if the intruders actually accessed this information or discovered the encryption method, but warned users to be alert for fraudulent activity.[147][148]
The company ReVuln, a commercial vulnerability research firm, published a paper in October 2012 that claimed the Steam browser protocol was posing a security risk by enabling malicious exploits through a simple user click on a maliciously crafted steam:// URL in a browser.[149] The report was taken up by various online publications.[150][151][152][153] As the second serious vulnerability of gaming-related software, following a recent issue with Ubisoft's copy protection system "Uplay",[154] it led the German IT platform "Heise online" to recommend strict separation of gaming and sensitive data, e.g. by using a dedicated gaming PC or at least a second Windows installation, or minimally a dedicated gaming account with limited rights on the gamer's own PC.[153]
|Accusations of spying
Origin's end-user license agreement (EULA) gives EA permission to collect information about users' computers regardless of its relation to the Origin program itself, including "application usage (including but not limited to successful installation and/or removal), software, software usage and peripheral hardware."[27] Initially, the EULA also contained a passage permitting EA to more explicitly monitor activity as well as to edit or remove material at their discretion.[28] However, this section was removed following an outcry over privacy implications. That outcry was fueled in part by pictures and video captured by several German gamers which showed Origin accessing tax programs and other unrelated software,[29] as well as a report by the news magazine Der Spiegel investigating the allegations.[30][31] In response to the controversy, EA issued a statement claiming they "do not have access to information such as pictures, documents or personal data, which have nothing to do with the execution of the Origin program on the system of the player, neither will they be collected by us."[32] EA also added a sentence to the EULA stating that they would not "use spyware or install spyware on users' machines," though users must still consent to allowing EA to collect information about their computers.[33]
Situation in Germany
According to reports in German newspapers, the German version of Origin's EULA violates several German laws, mainly laws protecting consumers and users' privacy.[30][34] According to Thomas Hoeren, a judge and professor for information, telecommunication and media law at the University of Münster, the German version of the EULA is a direct translation of the original without any modifications and its clauses are "null and void".[30]
|For instance PunkBuster, it starts up silently as a system process and allows servers to get screenshots from you. What guarantee does one have that it cannot be used to screencap your desktop?
|EULA Details[edit]
There is no ethical or regulatory oversight of Punkbuster or Even Balance. Based on their EULA they have complete access to a user's computer: their personal information, bank account information, online purchase history, or anything stored on the computer or viewable using its display. Punkbuster simply expects users to trust them. In PunkBuster's EULA, PunkBuster notes they are invasive, and that they reserve the right to inspect someone's entire harddrive and all of their files:
"Licensee understands and agrees that the information that may be inspected and reported by PunkBuster software includes, but is not limited to, Licensee's Internet Protocol Address, devices and any files residing on the hard-drive and in the memory of the computer on which PunkBuster software is installed." "Further, Licensee consents to allow PunkBuster software to transfer actual screenshots taken of Licensee's computer during the operation of PunkBuster software for possible publication." "Licensee agrees that any harm or lack of privacy resulting from the installation and use of PunkBuster software is not as valuable to Licensee as the potential ability to play interactive online games with the benefits afforded by using PunkBuster software."

Loans - Alternative Loans
Please read ALL of the following information carefully. There have been changes made to the private loan process.
Alternative loans are not federally regulated loans. These loans are private education loans. The fees, interest rates, and repayment terms are set by the lender.
The following Alternative Loan Counseling session is required for all students who wish to borrow an alternative loan. We will not certify an alternative loan until this session is completed. You will receive a printable confirmation at the end of this session. Please retain this confirmation for your records. Additionally, please note that due to federal regulations, any private loan disbursements must be held by the lender 7-10 business days after a private loans approval before any funds can be sent to the school.
If you are a current student who wishes to find out more information about Alternative Loan Programs, please select the link below. **By doing so, you will have access to a list of several alternative loan lenders that are frequently used by our students. Please keep in mind that you are not required to use one of the lenders displayed at the end of the counseling session. These lenders are presented for informational purposes only. The following will enable you to compare popular private loan lenders, as well as provide you with their contact information should you choose to apply.
*Please note that alternative loans are only recommend by our office as a last resort, and are not federally regulated loans.
**The lenders which appear on the list presented at the end of this counseling session were chosen because they met carefully selected criteria and offer services we feel are an asset to the students of Frostburg State University. To review the information gathered during the selection process, please click here.
Most loans presented at the end of this counseling session have zero fees for all borrowers. A few of the lenders included in the list may charge fees for borrowers with poorer credit and the Sallie Mae Smart Option Loan requires that some payments be made while in school. Please read all fee and interest rate information carefully before AND after approval.
*FSU adheres to the Maryland's College Loan Code of Conduct.
Please click below to view sample Application Disclosures for all lending instructions that appear on the Alternative Loan Lender Information site.
Due to new policies adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, the laws governing private loans have changed. Beginning February 14th, 2010, all students who are applying for a private loan must complete a self-certification form and return it to their lender before their loan can be approved. Federal guidelines dictate that our office must make a copy of this form available to all students who request it. The following link will provide you with a copy of the self-certification form. This form will also be provided to you by your lender, and may be provided to you in electronic format. You will only need to complete one form for each loan you apply for. It is recommended that you complete the form provided to you by your lender, especially if it is provided to you in e-sign format, instead of the copy below. Please only download and complete this form from our website if if you are unable to complete the copy provided to you by your lender.
The form above will require students to fill in the "Student's cost of attendance for the period of enrollment covered by the loan" and the "Estimated financial assistance for the period of enrollment covered by the loan" in Section 2. You may view this information by logging into your PAWS account and viewing your "Financial Aid Summary" by using the following instructions:
1. Log into PAWS
2. Click on "Student Service Center"
3. Under the "Finances" section of this page, click on "View Financial Aid"
4. Click on the aid year. (ex: 2010, 2011, etc.)
5. Click on "Financial Aid Summary"
Your "Estimated Financial Aid Budget" is your cost of attendance.
Your "Total Aid" is your estimated financial assistance.
The address of the school may be found under the "Contact Us" link at the top of this page.

Coldplay Announce New Perfume, 'Angst'
'People like to smell nice...'Read more on Coldplay Listen to Coldplay on Spotify
This is by far our favourite April Fools we've seen this morning (though admittedly, we've not seen that many) - Coldplay have announced they're going to launch a perfume, called 'Angst'.
"We're very pleased to announce that Coldplay have today launched their own exclusive fragrance, Angst by Coldplay," reads a message on their website. "The core ingredients of the scent are listed on the Brian Eno-designed bottles as sangre, sudor and lágrimas, all of which have been sourced from Fairtrade suppliers."
"This is something we've wanted to do for a long time," adds the band's frontman, Chris Martin. "People like to smell nice and we thought we could help them out."
Apparently you can order it from today in their official store, for £42. But it's sold out. Damn.

Bridgett Markin of First Source Insurance and Sheriff Oscar Cowen came before the Starke County Commissioners yesterday to present an inmate catastrophic insurance proposal. By not having such a policy, the county was responsible for all catastrophic expenses incurred by inmates while incarcerated.
The policy selected came with $250,000 maximum coverage and $10,000 deductible. Sheriff Cowen said that many Indiana counties have this type of policy.
In the end, the commissioners voted unanimously to purchase the policy that costs $17,500 annually.

Pest Control
Note: You must complete the Restoration Side Quest in Millfields to open the bridge to Driftwood, a separate area of Albion. To make Driftwood available on the map you'll have to first head back to Millfields and use the bridge you paid for. It's at the top of the hill with the Stonehenge-like ruins. Just across the bridge is a path to Driftwood.
In Driftwood, talk to the man in the gypsy camp to initiate Pest Control. There are four groups of Hobbes on the islands. The gold path leads you to each group starting on the leftmost island and moving all the way to the right.
After all four packs of Hobbes are eliminated, return to the man for your Seals. Now, wait a bit and your next Driftwood-related Side Quest will appear, An Island Getaway in Bowerstone Market.
