Carlton's AFL finals hopes appear doomed after the injury-hit Blues suffered a 41-point loss to arch rivals Collingwood in their round-15 clash on Friday night.
Inspired by Scott Pendlebury and Dane Swan who gathered 33 and 41 possessions respectively, Collingwood came from 28 points down late in the first term to win 17.16 (118) to 12.5 (77) in front of a crowd of 78,224 fans at the MCG.
The Magpies improved their win-loss record to 9-5, while the Blues (6-8) remain on 24 premiership points, three games outside the eight.
Big men Travis Cloke and Ben Reid dominated up forward for Collingwood, kicking five and four goals respectively.
The Blues kicked only five goals after quarter-time in their heaviest loss of the season.
Carlton suffered a blow when key forward Jarrad Waite limped off with a possible knee or ankle injury at the 17-minute mark of the game, replaced by substitute player Dennis Armfield.
Forward Eddie Betts was also injured during the match.
The Blues were in tremendous form early and produced a seven-goal first quarter to lead by 28 points at the 27-minute mark of the first term.
But as Carlton began to struggle to find a tall target up forward, Collingwood slammed on three goals late in the first term and six to Carlton's one in the second quarter to hold a 24-point advantage at halftime.
The Magpies increased their lead to 47 points after booting four goals to Carlton's one in the third term and the Blues kicked three goals to Collingwood's two in the final term.
Collingwood rested premiership defender Harry O'Brien because of an ankle injury and the former All-Australian has been given several days of personal leave. However media reports have also suggested a rift between O'Brien and coach Nathan Buckley following an argument at training earlier this week.
The Magpies host Adelaide at the MCG on July 12 and Carlton play St Kilda the following night at Etihad Stadium.
Asked if he'd had a mid-week argument with O'Brien, Buckley said he felt no need to discuss the topic with the fans via the media.
"If there's an issue, I won't be talking about it," he said.
Buckley said O'Brien had been granted leave to spend the weekend in Port Douglas nursing his ankle injury and would be back in Melbourne on Sunday.
The Collingwood coach said his focus was on the 22 who played on Friday.
"What it shows is regardless of the 'who', if we get the 'how' right we're pretty good," he said.
Carlton coach Mick Malthouse said Waite's knee problem had upset the balance of the lineup but it was not an excuse for the defeat.
"This is comprehensively our worst game. Not because of the scoreboard but because of the ease with which the opposition were able to score," Malthouse said.
Betts has a hip injury.

London (Nov. 25)
The nomination of candidates today for the Whitechapel by-election on December 3rd began the last stage of the heated campaign to capture this seat, held by a Laborite since 1922. Although the Liberal candidate is a Zionist, the real fight will be between James Hall, the Laborite nominee and Loel Guinness, Conservative candidate, the chief issue is the Palestine question because forty per cent of the voters in the constituency are Jewish.
A few months ago a political fight in Whitechapel would have aroused little interest because it has been a Labor stronghold for the last eight years. But in view of the Jewish voters' resentment against the government because of the White Paper, the Labor party is extremely anxious over the outcome because the loss of this seat would further weaken the Labor government's tenuous hold on Parliament.
That its anxiety is justified is apparent from a study of some statistics. Of the 37,000 voters in the district, 14,000 are Jews. At the last general election the Labor candidate polled 13,701 votes, winning by a majority of 9,180.
The Labor candidate, James Hall, today began the circulation of a Yiddish pamphlet entitled "The Labor Party Stands for the Complete Embodiment of the Ideal of the Jewish National
Home." The pamphlet promises that the Labor government would see to it that the Jews got a fair deal in Palestine.
At the same time Loel Guinness, the Conservative candidate, has issued an appeal to the Jewish voters pointing out that the Conservative party has always dealt fairly with the Jews and is now the only party in the House of Commons with the will and the power to resist the Labor government's curtailment of Jewish rights. Meanwhile the Poale Zion, Socialist Zionist party, has announced its support of the Labor candidate but many Jewish workers are opposed to the Conservative party, saying that they will abstain from voting rather than vote for the Labor candidate.
With the exception of the Daily Herald, the government organ, the entire press is very doubtful about the Labor party's chances of retaining the Whitechapel seat which was left vacant by the death of Harry Gosling, former minister of transport.

Bhubaneswar, Dec. 27: A chilly spell of weather, coupled with fog, has disrupted life in various parts of the state.
Freezing winds from the Himalayas has brought the mercury down drastically and Kandhamal reported the lowest temperature of 2.6°C today.
While cold wave conditions prevailed in Balasore, Bhubaneswar, Angul, Keonjhar, Sambalpur, Bhawanipatna and Kandhamal, severe cold wave conditions persisted in Baripada and Balangir.
Baripada recorded the lowest temperature of 5°C, followed by 5.9°C in Sundergarh. Keonjhar and Sambalpur both recorded a minimum temperature of 6.3°C.
The state capital, Gopalpur and Angul remained foggy.
The wind is very cold and its become painful to ride a motorcycle in the morning, said Sadashiv Barik, a resident of Bhubaneswar.
The foggy weather has led to decrease in maximum day temperature, which, along with cold breeze, has forced a large number of people to stay indoors.
Sources at the regional meteorological centre, Bhubaneswar, said the cold wave conditions would prevail for next 48 hours.
The night temperature is likely to increase in next 48 hours because of the formation of an anti-cyclonic circulation, said the director of the meteorological centre, Sarat Chandra Sahu.
Roads have been wearing deserted looks and people can be spotted sitting around bonfires.
It has been a week since the temperature began to fall and the extreme cold is causing a lot of inconvenience, said Ranjan Murmu, a resident of Baripada.
Bhubaneswar recorded a minimum temperature of 12.2°C, three degrees lower than normal.
The lowest temperature that was recorded in the city this winter till now was on December 25 when the mercury fell to 11°C.
The cold wave conditions have also affected small time businessmen in the city.
I used to close my shop around 10 oclock but with the cold, I am closing it by 9pm, said Saroj Nath, who has a shop near Sriya Square.
However, winter garment sales have gone up in the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.

Great Transatlantic Voyage on Crown!!: Crown Princess Cruise Review by Sweetd
Overall Member Rating
Great Transatlantic Voyage on Crown!!
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Miami
* Hotel Info (if any): Stayed couple of nights in Ft. Lauderdale before cruise at Riverside Hotel. What a lovely place. Got it on Priceline.com & it was great.
* Travel To Port of Embarkation: Enjoyed my 2 days in Ft. Lauderdale area before cruise. Always go couple of days early before cruise leaves so there are no issues.
* Ship Info: The Crown Princess is a really lovely vessel. Very clean & well maintained also well appointed. Plenty of room in public areas & on decks to roam. Quality of fellow passengers was also great. Everyone was very pleasant, interesting & friendly. One really nice touch on this ship was automatic doors on all areas leading from interior of ship to outside decks. Haven't seen this on any other ship. This was Transatlantic voyage with 9 nights at More sea. I was a bit concerned because of so many nights at sea but turned out to be wonderful. Longest time at sea in past was 7 nights on QM2.
* Activities: Enjoyed Movies with the Stars on pool deck except a bit cold a few nights. Cruise Director & staff were very good. Would have liked more cooking demonstrations. There were many activities available during sea days. Crew made every effort to keep us busy & happy.
* Service: Excellent throughout voyage. Staff was very friendly & always accommodating. I attribute this to the Captain. He was great & funny. Not stuffy at all. Staff seemed very happy & showed it to the passengers.
* Port & Shore Excursions: Ports were very good. Two were new for me so I really enjoyed them. Took one of ships Shore Excursions & it was very good. Handled professionally, although slight bit disorganized. Really wish shuttles at ports would be built into cost of cruise. Only way to get into town at some of the ports was by shuttle. Didn't have a choice so would have been better if included.
* Stateroom: Well appointed & comfortable. Cabin Steward was great. Took super care of me & listened to my requests when I first got on board. Had problem with my balcony door opening on its own. He provide a great solution. Would like more light in bathroom but it was OK.
* Dining: Really enjoyed the Open Choice Dining. Ate in the Da Vinci Restaurant every evening. Never had to wait for a table & had very good to excellent food & service throughout. Breakfast was in the Horizon Court/Cafe Caribe. Found it was better than dining room although dining room was fine. Also enjoyed the Vines Restaurant/Bar in lobby for sushi & International Cafe for their chicken salad & shrimp. The coffee on this ship was great. The cookies were also better than other ships I've been on.
* Entertainment: Very good to excellent throughout. Productions show were very well done & cute. Comedians were great. Most of musical guest performers were also great. Lounges also had very talented entertainers & venues.
* Disembarkation: It was raining when we disembarked. Exit from ship was one of fastest I've experienced but had a jam up leaving from baggage area. Only had one way in/out & people were trying to get on while we were leaving. Caused a bit of a mess but worked out fine in the end.
* Summary: One of best cruises I've experienced. Ship, staff, food, entertainment, ports & fellow passengers were memorable & outstanding. Would definitely travel on this ship in the future. Less

Cabin review: BDB222 Balcony
My cabin was great. Good location near forward elevators. Very quiet. Excellent closet space. Would have liked more light in bathroom but not really bad. Balcony door kept opening on its own but cabin steward had great solution. They put duvet on beds & I requested top sheet instead. Cabin steward accommodated this request without having to ask again or remind him.Read All Balcony (BD) Reviews >>

Pam and Virginia (and perhaps guest speakers/teachers) will lead a 15-month distance class, via conference call and online discussion, for Bear Mentors seeking additional and ongoing support, practice, information, inspiration, accountability, feedback, and deadlines in order to become Certified Eagle Mentors (or for Eagles to deepen their learning and skills, and to complete their re-certification requirements)--in a progressive and timely manner. (Photo: Red Tent 2014, including 5 graduates of the first Eagle Express!)
Sometimes Bear Mentors lose their way or fall asleep in their caves after their juicy Advanced Retreat. Momentum to complete the certification requirements may be lost by feelings of isolation or uncertainty. Perhaps the reading list, paper work, or recordings seem daunting or out of reach. Don't let "Procrastination Hibernation" set in! We are pleased to be offering a second session of our popular and effective "EAGLE EXPRESS": a 15-month distance class and peer support circle for Advanced and Certified Mentors, designed to guide and accelerate your Mentor certification (or recertification) process. Only $350. Begins October 2014.
The 15-month Eagle Express is comprised of five (three-month long) modules (see below). Each module will be further broken down into one-month sections, with bite-sized reading and learning tasks. You and your peers will focus your attention on one aspect of advanced childbirth mentoring skills by reading, practicing, and integrating a specific set of skills with the support and encouragement of Pam, Virginia, and like-minded peers.
The first Eagle Express session ended in April, and five Certified Mentors from that group attended the Red Tent! We've asked all 22 participants from the last session to give us their feedback, and we've made some improvements reflecting their suggestions for making it an even better offering!
These changes include:
~ Monthly break-down of tasks to increase focus, make it do-able, and build that sense of progress and accomplishment.
~ Small study groups. We will divide the whole Eagle Express cohort into mini peer groups of 4-6 Mentors to form a more intimate learning environment and support structure. These study groups will "meet" on their own once a month via conference call. We think that smaller groups will strengthen the sense of community and accountability. Choose to form your own study-group with friends from your Advanced Retreat or other Bears you know; or we will create your study-group based on time-zone and/or personal goals (as expressed in your application, at bottom).
• One 75-minute all-group conference call with Pam and/or Virginia (plus invaluable ongoing peer support).
• Reading (and discussing) selected books from the reading list (and making your book notes as you go).
• According to the three-month module topic, you will complete the applicable section of the Advanced Home-Study/Journal.
• Keeping up with record-keeping and forms related to: classes, births, continuing ed, etc., completed in that 3 month period.
• Making a video recording of yourself demonstrating (with parents) the current module's technique or skill; submitting the recording, and getting immediate feedback—as you go—rather than waiting for feedback at the end of a year or two!
• You can choose to submit each part of your packet to your Advisor as you go; or compile it and submit it whenever it is complete.
(Additional tasks may be assigned on an as-needed basis, but you will not have more requirements to become certified than Bears who are not in this program.)
In addition to six group conference calls, you will benefit from one 60-minute private call and two 75-minute small peer-group calls with Virginia or Pam, scheduled over the course of the 15 months.
1. Pay a $150 deposit online:
The $150 deposit holds your spot, and is fully refundable if you are not accepted or withdraw prior to October 1, 2014. (Full cost of the course is $350 and no discounts apply). Balance must be paid in full by Oct. 1, 2014.
2. Send your "application" ASAP by email to Virginia with the following information:
Once the course has begun, there are no refunds or credit under any circumstances (as your spot cannot be filled once the session has started). Priority is given to Bears. (Eagles working towards re-certification will be accepted, space-permitting.)

Turtle Wax
Protecting tools can be a problem where there are significant temperature differences bringing about condensation and we try to keep a few tools in our trucks. Knives and other high carbon tools are especially susceptible to oxidation (rusting). All fights with rusting, we eventually lose. Paint helps delay the fight and a good coat (or more) of automotive auto wax really helps things like knives that we don't want to paint from oxidation.
Take a look at this thread for a real eye opener.
Many years ago at the old Pomona Gun Show there was a guy selling gunwax. It was carnauba based and he used it on all his guns. He had a barrel of water and would submerge his rifles in the water, then pull them out. All the water beaded off instantly.
He described it as the same concept as car wax.
I have thought about it many times over the years, and thought it was a great idea.

Asahi's history
The Asahi pottery is rooted in Japan's oldest center for tea cultivation, the famed town of Uji. The pottery has been in continuous production over four hundred years, through fifteen generations of the Matsubayashi family. From the time of the founder, Tosaku, the Asahi workshop has provided tea bowls treasured for preparing whipped tea to nobility, warrior rulers, and tea masters.
Another representative Asahi product is the spouted teapot (kyusu or hobin) for preparing steeped tea. It was introduced to the workshop's repertory about 150 years ago by the eighth generation master, Chohei. The pot is designed to bring out the exquisite flavor of fine tea and is favored by connoisseurs. Each pot is shaped individually and with great care.
Today, under the guidance of the fifteenth master, Matsubayashi Hosai, the Asahi workshop continues to focus on utensils for various modes of serving tea, while at the same time creating a wide variety of utensils suited to contemporary life.

REDLANDS >> Several who have made a difference in the city will be recognized Saturday during the Northside Impact Committee's 22nd annual recognition and scholarships awards dinner.
Planned for 5 p.m. in the Orton Center at the University of Redlands, 1200 E. Colton Ave., the event will feature a no-host bar with dinner and music by Joel and Abbey Umali, and guest speaker Tomas D. Morales, president of Cal State San Bernardino.
Those being recognized at the event include the committee's picks for Latino/Latina of the Year, Anthony and Gloria Bocanegra, Redlands Police Officer Elyzabeth Green and Fire Capt. Richard Sessler.
Tom Niblack, Sabine Robertson-Phillips, Stan Weisser and Heidi Mayer will all be recognized as well. Marine Sgt. Jamie R. Ramirez of Beaumont, and a 1986 Redlands High School graduate, will receive the committee's Military Recognition Award.
"It's simply an incredible honor. What more can someone say?" Weisser said Sunday. "To be recognized by members of the community for what has been done in this community that has enriched my life, It's such a tremendous honor."
The recipients of this year's awards follow in the footsteps of City Manager N. Enrique Martinez who was named the committee's 2012 Latino of the Year, and Sylvia O. Alcantar, a member of the American Legion Post 605's Women's Auxiliary Unit, as its Latina of the Year. Redlands Fire Chief Jeff Frazier was given the group's Civic Award.
The committee will also announce and recognize its Outstanding Female and Male Youths of the Year, as well as its educational scholarship recipients.
The committee hoped to offer nine scholarships to area students.
Seven will be given Saturday.
Scholarships are a boost to help students fund their secondary education goals from parking to books to car repairs, said Ediberto Flores, chairman of the organization, in June.
Saturday's event is open to the public. Cost is $45 per person or $360 per table.
To learn more or to RSVP, contact Flores at 909-798-7130.

Using the features available in the webGUI, go to the "DNS Forwarder"

Add an entry such as:

Coaches' Notebook: It's time to "kick off and kick ass!"
By: Aj Mansour | KFAN.com
Mankato, MN - With real-life game tape in their hands, the Minnesota Vikings take on their final week in Mankato with hopes to right the wrongs and continue offseason progressions for veterans and rookies alike. Monday morning defensive coordinator George Edwards, offensive coordinator Norv Turner and recently hired interim special teams coordinator Joe Marciano took to the stand to update us on the state of the team.
Here is some of the coaches had to say...
How will Anthony Barr be used going forward?
Rookie linebacker Anthony Barr played in his first NFL game last weekend and while he didn't play poorly, he visibly has some room to grow going forward. "He's come a long way since coming here," Edwards said of Barr. "We've put a lot of hats on him, we'll use him in some different ways here as we go into this next ballgame. Last week we pretty much just played him at the linebacker...He's still got some things he's got to improve on. I think the first game there were still some things he was unsure of..."
Any concern going forward with Linval Joseph missing time?
Nose tackle Linval Joseph was a innocent victim of a shooting on Friday night in Minneapolis. With a bullet wound in his calf, Linval returned to Mankato Sunday but is unlikely to take the field before the team's week-one matchup with the Rams. "Linval is a true pro," Edwards said. "He's going to stay caught up in what we need to get caught up in. There is no doubt here, he was right back here going to work and paying attention to the details of what we are asking him to do. From that aspect of it, we are just whenever we are able to get him back out there we are looking forward for him to get back out there and get him going."
How do you evaluate Teddy Bridgewater after preseason game #1?
Offensive coordinator's and coaches who are on the inside often evaluate things a little differently than the arm-chair quarterbacks may from the comfort of their barcaloungers. That seems to have been the case with Norv Turner and Teddy Bridgewater coming out of Friday's game. "I am not interested in evaluating Teddy," Turner said Monday. "I'm interested in coaching him, and continuing to help him get better. We evaluated Teddy before the draft and we know what he is capable of doing, now we just have to keep coaching him and coaching him, so he knows exactly what he needs to do on each play."
On the signing of tight end Kory Sperry...
With an open roster spot, the Vikings made a move on Sunday and signed tight end Kory Sperry to a contract. "We brought Kory in a couple of weeks ago and worked him out," Turner said. "He is familiar with the offense. He is a big, physical guy. I think he'll help us at the point and we will get the opportunity to evaluate him now."
On getting the call to fill in for the Vikings...
"When you do well, you're reputation speaks for itself. When you don't do well, you get fired...I'm thankful for this opportunity."
On what he's inheriting on Vikings special teams...
"I'm going to coach my butt off and extend what Coach Prief and Coach Fick have started here. I've got to pinch hit for a couple of games, that's all I've got to to. Mike will be back...it's as good of a group as there is in the league. There's no reason why they shouldn't kick off and kick ass."

Big data' startup Splice Machine breathes new life into SQL, pulls in $4M
Most experts agree that a traditional database can't support the rapidly accelerating mess of unstructured and structured data contained within the enterprise. However, where this consensus falls apart, is on the right approach to tackling the "big data" problem.
In the ongoing battle between the NoSQL and SQL databases, Splice Machine is one of the few young companies that has come down firmly on the side of the latter. Today, the San Francisco startup has raised $4 million in first round funding for its SQL database build on top of the open-source Hadoop Distributed File System.
According to its founders, popular NoSQL databases like HBase and Cassandra Hadoop, can handle large volumes of data that do not fit neatly into structured tables, rows and columns. However, they are not equipped to support the full spectrum of business intelligence (BI) products.

Field-to-plate: VT college students try farming
While other college students are in stuffy classrooms, about a dozen are earning credit tending a Vermont farm.
For 13 weeks, 12 credits and about $12,500, the Green Mountain College students plow fields with oxen or horses, milk cows, weed crops and grow and make their own food, part of an intensive course in sustainable agriculture using the least amount of fossil fuels.
More than 80 schools now have hands-on and classroom-based farm programs, but students elsewhere often don't earn as many credits as Green Mountain College students do.
One of them, 18-year-old Cassie Callahan of Conway, N.H., is working on a research project involving watering plants with gray water collected from the farm's solar shower. Her real love is working with draft horses, and hopes to become a farmer.

I went to my brother's gym yesterday on a guest pass.
We were in there for just under two hours, doing weights and cardio.
Anyway, there's an Asda next right next door. And afterwards, we were hungry. So in we went and did a bit of post-gym shopping. Though, of course, amongst the chicken and veg, there was plenty of beer and ice cream in our baskets. A man's gotta live a little, after all!
But just as we were paying, a thought hit me: Was there a time limit on how long you could park there? I mean, by now, we'd been parked for around 2 and a half hours. So I asked the woman serving us.
She said, "Yeah, I think there is a limit. But it's something like 4 hours so you'll be fine." Phew.
But on our way out, we passed another guy who worked there. So I thought I'd double check with him. Just because the woman wasn't entirely convincing.
Anyway, this guy looked at me a little quizically when I asked him, then said: "Yeah, think it's 2 hours."
Damn. I'd been longer than that.
So when I got in the car, I rang Asda's customer service to find out the truth. Turned out there wasn't actually a time limit in place, after all. Phew.
Anyway, this experience can help you make sure you don't make similar mistakes when dealing with your own customers.
Here's how:
You see, if the two workers I asked just said to me, "I don't know, let me find out for you," I would have been happy. I certainly wouldn't have judged them at all for not knowing the answer. Quite the opposite, actually. I would have appreciated their honesty.
But, instead, they gave me completely made-up answers.
So here's my advice:
Always be honest with people. If they ask you something and you don't know the answer, just say "I don't know." Honesty's the best policy.
If they're a paying customer, you should then go and find out the answer for them. This really would be top customer service. Plus, it would help massively with client retention. Meaning you'll make a lot more money from that particular person in the future.
You know, there really are a lot of things I don't know.
And, yes, I include certain business-related things in that.
But one thing I certainly DO know a thing or two about, is how to make money with email.
And (in my humble yet accurate opinion) I'm good at teaching other people how to become great at email marketing themselves.

A publicly funded research institute that has accused one of its own scientists of faking data spent tens of thousands of dollars on expensive furniture, reportedly to use up its budget.
The respected Riken Institute, headed by Nobel chemistry laureate Ryoji Noyori, spent almost ¥10 million ($100,000) during two shopping sprees in March 2011 at Cassina Ixc., a maker and importer of top-range furniture, publicly released information shows.
In its latest edition, Shukan Bunshun magazine cites a former Riken researcher as saying the lavish spending was part of a drive to use up its approximately ¥100 billion budget before the April 1 end of the fiscal year.
"When I was at the institute, it was having a tough time spending its budget within a fiscal year, so it would frequently do interior renovations," the unidentified researcher was quoted as saying.
A Riken spokesman said the furniture was appropriate for a building that receives "guests from overseas."
"The building where the furniture is located was completed in February of that year, and the furniture was ordered to be on schedule for the completion of the new building," he said.
The furniture was purchased for Riken's facilities in Kobe.

I found nu-i asa? via Google translate, and this brings up over 3 million results in Google, so might just be correct. Do other languages use similar tags?

Writing Systems Research
I heard today that a new journal on writing systems, Writing Systems Research, was launched recently and sounds very interesting. The first issue includes articles on the evolution of writing, and literacy, and is can be read online for free. Are there any other journals that focus specifically on writing systems or written language?
galapagar, (noun, m) – sitio donde abundan los galápagos (a place abounding in tortoises). I heard of this word today and it particularly appealed to me for its very specific meaning. It seems to be rare and doesn't appear in any of my Spanish dictionaries, though it does appear in the Diccionario de la Lengua […]
These puzzles were sent in by a visitor to Omniglot from Taiwan. The first appears on a mosquito coil and looks a bit like Tibetan or one of the other Brahmi-derived scripts. These characters were spotted in Lugang (鹿港). Can you make any sense of the writing in either of these images?

Career Clusters represent major groupings of similar occupations and industries within the U.S. job market (e.g., business, information technology, manufacturing, health, human services.) Each Cluster provides students with the "big picture" in terms of career options and an understanding of the broad industry. Within each of the career clusters are various Career Pathways which represent a variety of occupational fields or jobs associated with the career cluster.
It is important to note that DoDEA has adopted 11 of the United States Department of Education's 16 nationally recognized Career Clusters and 22 associated pathways. Each DoDEA high school offers only those Clusters and Pathways that can be supported by the local school curriculum offerings. Check with the local school's counselor for specific information on the Clusters and Pathways offered.
What is exciting about Career Clusters and Pathways is that they will help students to focus on what they want to do with their lives after they graduate. By choosing a pathway of interest, students will be guided into appropriate courses to take, and they will begin to understand the importance of subjects like math, science and English in preparing them in the area of their career interest. Each pathway focuses students on the courses and experiences that will allow them to explore careers and prepare for two-year and four-year colleges, and the workplace.
Students completing the 4 credits of study from the courses required and recommended for a specific Pathway will earn a Pathway endorsement on their graduation transcript. For a listing of required and recommended courses, click on one of the Clusters on the top left of this page and follow the links to specific pathways associated with the Cluster.

By Nicholas J. Cotsonika, Detroit Free Press
He's Kevin Smith.
You can get to know him by going to his website — www.imkevinsmith.com.
You can also learn a bit from the first impression he made Friday.
All eyes were on Smith's feet, and not just because he's the Lions' new running back and this was the first day of rookie minicamp. He stepped on a riser to do interviews in shoes that looked like the carpet in a casino — loud colors, crazy pattern.
"They're just some $30 Chuck Taylors with some designs in them," Smith said. "I like to walk around the facility comfortable. I'm comfortable."
Colorful and comfortable. That seems to be Smith. If the shoe fits, wear it, right?
Smith's marketing people encouraged him to do the website leading up to the draft. He posted personal information, like his engagement on April 12. He posted video, like his version of MTV's "Cribs."
"Maybe no one's interested, but maybe someone's interested to see what I buy at a Publix," Smith said. "It was fun. I guess it's my version of a reality TV show."
He also wrote he is to football what Denzel Washington is to the movie business.
Is he really?
"In college football? This year?" Smith said. "Yeah."
Smith did rush for 2,567 yards at Central Florida — 61 yards short of the record Lions great Barry Sanders set at Oklahoma State in 1988. He did score 29 touchdowns.
But what about pro football?
"I've got a lot to prove," Smith said. "To me, my mind-set, I proved what I could do in college. I come from Conference USA. I dominated Conference USA every year I played. Now I'm on a different level with good players.
"Every player is as good as me. Now I've got to work on things to get an upper hand on people, and that's my plan. I'm not saying I'm the best person. I'm Kevin, I'm entering the NFL and I'm going to work hard to be all I can be."
The Lions had a Kevin at running back — Kevin Jones, a first-round pick in 2004. Jones wore No. 34. The Lions cut him in March.
The number the Lions assigned Smith? Thirty-four.
Asked if he knew the history of the number, Smith said: "I think Kevin Jones had it? Yeah, I watch football. I know Kevin Jones had the number."
Smith — who might try to get his college number, 24, from safety Greg Blue — seems well-educated on the Lions. Right after he was drafted, he rattled off facts about the roster. He said Detroit was where he wanted to be, and when the Lions traded up two spots to take him atop the third round (64th overall) Sunday, he wept for joy.
Lions offensive coordinator Jim Colletto is installing a zone running scheme — the same scheme in which Smith excelled in college. UCF offensive coordinator Tim Salem once worked under Colletto at Purdue. In Smith's first meetings with the Lions, the material wasn't new.
"That's enabling me to come out here and play a little faster and not do as much thinking," Smith said. "I mean, from the snap count to the exact plays' names, we ran the same thing. I've got a little advantage."
Smith's competition will come when he joins veterans Tatum Bell, Artose Pinner, Brian Calhoun and Aveion Cason.
"No one told me I was going to come here to be a starter or even play, for that matter," Smith said. "I think you just come here and compete. As a rookie, you have to be on special teams, so I'll bust my behind on special teams. I just play football. I just play running back, and wherever I fit on the depth chart, that's where I belong."
Before he was drafted, Smith wrote on his website: "I've had visions of rookie of the year and the Pro Bowl as a rookie and feel those individual goals are well within my in reach."
But Friday, he said: "This is not the right time to talk about stuff. You don't come to a team sport and say, 'I'm going to be rookie of the year.' That's just a dream inside there, but it's nothing to talk about. You just do it. It just happens. Adrian didn't talk about that," he said, referring to Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings. "Adrian just made it happen. I just want to make it happen."
So does he think he can make it happen?
"Anything's possible," he said.

On holiday leave from the service, Gabriel McQueen is sent into a brewing ice storm to make sure that his father's distant neighbor, Lolly Helton, who has fallen out of contact, is safe and sound. It's a trip that Gabriel would rather not make, given the bitter winter weather—and the icy conditions that have always existed between him and Lolly.
On holiday leave from the service, Gabriel McQueen is sent into a brewing ice storm to make sure that his father's distant neighbor, Lolly Helton, who has fallen out of contact, is safe and sound. It's a trip that Gabriel would rather not make, given the bitter winter weather—and the icy conditions that have always existed between him and Lolly. Arriving at Lolly's home, Gabriel spots strangers through the windows—one of them packing a weapon—and kicks into combat mode. But once Lolly is rescued, the heat—and the hunt—are on. Snowbound, unarmed, and literally under the gun, Gabriel and Lolly must depend on each other to endure the merciless forces of nature and evade the ruthless enemy out in the blackness of the silent night—and out for their blood.
Chapter One
The place never changed.
Gabriel McQueen actually liked that about his hometown, Wilson Creek, Maine. He liked the continuity of it, the security, the solidarity. He liked that his seven-year-old son, Sam, was seeing the town almost exactly as Gabriel himself had seen it growing up. He liked that Sam was building some of the same memories he had.
He liked the little town as it looked during the march of seasons: the budding of spring, the green of summer, the rioting colors of autumn when the twin white steeples pierced a deep blue sky, but his favorite time of the year was right now. The last few weeks leading up to Christmas were special, when excitement and anticipation seemed to grip everyone and the little kids were almost giddy from it all. He could barely wait to see Sam enjoying the same things he'd enjoyed at that age.
He drove his black four-wheel-drive Ford F-250 through the town square, smiling as he saw that every storefront was decorated with tinsel and twinkling multicolored lights, that the big fir tree in front of the courthouse was festooned with so many lights that it looked like a solid blaze that even the cold, steady, miserable mist of rain dripping from the ugly leaden sky couldn't dim.
There was an empty parking space at the end of the metered row in front of the courthouse, and he squeezed the big pickup between the white lines. Jamming his weatherproof cap on his head, he got out and fed enough change into the old-fashioned meter to buy him two hours. He wouldn't be there that long, but he erred on the side of caution because it would be embarrassing as hell for the sheriff's son to get a parking ticket in front of the courthouse on his first day home—not to him, but to his father. Not embarrassing his father was well worth a couple of quarters.
The mist of rain blew in his face; the last weather report he'd checked predicted snow later on tonight when the temperature dropped. Ducking his head against the wind, he quick-timed up the courthouse steps, opened the double glass doors, then took the stairs on the right down to the basement. The sheriff's department still occupied the basement of the courthouse even though the jail was on the top floor and the arrangement was damned inconvenient, but that was how things had always been and Gabriel figured they would still be that way when he died.
The sheriff's department was the first door on the left. The door opened into an area filled with four desks, three women, and a lot of attitude. Behind them was another door, and stenciled on it was Harlan McQueen, Sheriff. The stencil had been done almost thirty years before, and in some places the lettering was almost gone, but Gabriel knew his dad was thinking of retiring—had been for the past five or ten years—so, as a thrifty Mainer, he didn't see any sense in having the doors relettered.
All three women looked up when Gabriel entered, their faces immediately wreathing in smiles. All three jumped up with disconcertingly girlish squeals, considering the youngest was a good fifteen years older than he was, and rushed at him; you'd think he hadn't seen any of them in a year, instead of just two months. Somehow he managed to almost get his arms around them all; he was a big guy, but three women were a lot for any man, especially when one of the women was pleasantly hefty.
Two of the women wore brown sheriff's department uniforms; Judith Fournier and Evelyn Thomas were sisters, and their resemblance was strong enough that when they were in uniform and their hair was pulled back and secured per regulations, they were almost indistinguishable. Patsy Hutt, the queen of the outer office, was soft and round and crowned with snow-white hair. Today she wore thick-soled boots, jeans, and a wool sweater decorated with sequined snowflakes. She looked like the most benign woman in the world, but Gabriel had a very clear memory of her swatting his ass when he was about seven and full of self-importance because his dad was the sheriff.
Among the three women, they controlled the outer office and access to the sheriff, ran most of the department, and knew everything there was to know about everyone in the county.
"It's about time you got here," Patsy scolded. "I was getting worried, with you driving in and meeting this storm head-on."
"Storm?" He went on alert, adrenaline surging. "I checked the weather forecast before I headed out; the rain was supposed to turn to snow tonight, but that was all." That had been this morning, at a motel in Pennsylvania. Before leaving North Carolina he'd put snow tires on his truck because, hell, December in Maine meant snow. That was a no-brainer. Since leaving, though, he'd been listening to XM, so he wasn't up to the minute on the weather forecast.
Patsy's concern meant something, however. Mainers were accustomed to winter weather and knew how to handle it, so any looming storm severe enough to get their attention told him a lot about the potential for danger.
Before she could answer, the door behind them opened and all four looked around. "Gabe," said his father, a wealth of affection and something close to relief in his lined face, and Gabriel tore himself from the clutches of the outer-office tyrants to stride across the floor. He exchanged a brief bear hug with his dad, they clapped each other on the back, then Harlan said, "I'm glad you made it. The weather is turning nasty in a hurry and I need help."
Gabriel's level of alertness ratcheted upward several more degrees. If Harlan McQueen was admit-ting he needed help, then something serious was going on.
"You got it," he said as they moved on into Harlan's office, which tended more toward cramped than spacious. The county hadn't splurged on the department's offices, that was for damn certain. "What's up?"
His father's sharp gaze showed appreciation for Gabriel's unhesitating support and willingness to act. When he'd been younger, that natural inclination toward action—any action—had sometimes landed his ass in hot water, but as a sergeant in the military police, he'd been able to channel that aggression and decisiveness into the job, which was good for both him and the army.
"This damn weather system is dipping our way," Harlan said tersely. "We were supposed to get snow, with the ice staying northeast, but now the weather service is saying we're going to get hammered by the ice. They issued the storm warning just a little over an hour ago, and we're scrambling to get ready, plus there's an accident tying up three deputies when I can't spare even one."
Shit, an ice storm. Gabriel was on full alert now, his eyes narrowing, his stance subtly shifting as if he could take on the storm in a bare-knuckle brawl. Ice was ten times worse than a blizzard, in terms of damage. Maine had taken two hits from ice in the past ten or twelve years, but both times the storm had missed this area. That was good then, but bad now, because it meant there was a lot of weakened timber that had been spared before but would now be coming down under the weight of the ice, crushing cars and houses, taking down power lines and leaving hundreds of square miles in the cold and dark. Ice was like a crystal hurricane, destroying everything it touched.
"What can I do?"
"Drive out to the old Helton place and check on Lolly. I haven't been able to get her on her cell phone, and she may not know this weather system has shifted our way."
Lolly Helton? Gabriel almost groaned aloud. Of all the people—
"What's she doing here?" he asked, trying to disguise his sudden hostility, which was the way Lolly Helton had always affected him. "I thought the whole family had moved away."
"They did, but they kept the house for summer vacations. Now they're thinking about selling it, and Lolly's here to check things out and, hell, what difference does it make? She's out there by herself, with no way of calling for help if she gets hurt."

I'm sorry to say but this book was awful. Whenever a Linda Howard book comes out I try to be first in line to purchase. After this book I will rent from the Library first to see if it worth spending the money. The book was mostly narrative and the characters were never really evolved. For all the struggles Lolly & Gabriel endured, Darwin & Niki were able to accomplish with no trouble at all. For the price I paid, $22.00 for 198 pages, I was totally disappointed. I hope Ms. Howard's next outing is more successful.
This is without a doubt the worst thing Linda Howard has written. I prefer any of her Silhouette romances (Diamond Bay, Heartbreaker, Sarah's Child, Almost Forever, etc) to this piece of junk book. It is truly an awful, awful story. I cannot believe Linda Howard wrote it. The characters are boring, the idea of meth addicts as threats is done poorly, the hero is marginal and the ending is terrible. This book makes the disappointment of Burn seem nonexistent. Linda Howard has always had great heroes, dynamic women and stellar dialogue. This book has none of those elements. Do not waste your money or your precious time on this terrible book.
I love reading anything by this author. But this book wasn't one of them. It wasn't very long, and it could of ended a little better.
I liked the characters and loved the plot. Only complaint was it was more of a short story than a full novel. Its only about 100 pages. Would have loved to see the characters and story fully develop.
I would not recommend this book. Usually like this author but it wasn't what I expected.
Very short, it's like a rip off of her novella "Whiteout". I love her earlier books, but lately I have been disappointed in her last three books. Again read her novella "Whiteout" from Strangers in the Night, it has better plot lines and better characters. You will see the correlation between the two stories.
Wow - hard to beleive that this was really written by Linda Howard. How could the prolific writer that brought us the likes of "All the Queens Men" have written something so boring? Very short story, more like a novella. So brief that I finished it in a matter of hours. The story was OK, but could have been fleshed out signigicantly. The entire story takes place within 1 night. Don't bother buying - wait for the library instead.
Broadway and television actor Fred Sanders delivers a chilling reading of this story of two people seemingly trapped in a killing ice storm. Of course, the setting is frigid but it's Sanders's professional delivery that takes the story to sub zero heights off suspense. Mystery maven Linda Howard has delivered a shorter than usual tale with ICE, but it starts off with a hook and keeps you guessing until the last sentence. Gabriel McCain was looking forward to coming home from the service to Wilson Creek, Maine. He liked his small town - it was solid, secure, and he was pleased that his 7-year-old son, Sam, was growing up in this environment. It was holiday time; he couldn't wait to see Sam and his dad, Harlan, the town's sheriff. However, his welcome home was brief because Harlan had a job for him - go out into the middle of nowhere during an impending major storm and make sure Lolly Helton is safe. The elder McCain hasn't heard from her in a while and he's concerned since she's out there alone, looking over the Helton house prior to selling it. Lolly was one of the last people Gabriel wanted to see but he could hardly say no to the sheriff! So, he went into a storm that even to hardy Mainers could mean danger and death. "Ice was ten times worse than a blizzard, in terms of damage. Maine had taken two hits from ice in the past ten or twelve years, but both times the storm had missed this area. That was good then, but bad now, because it meant there was a lot of weakened timber that had been spared before but would now be coming down under the weight of the ice, crushing cars and houses, taking down power lines and leaving hundreds of square miles in the cold and dark. Ice was like a crystal hurricane, destroying everything it touched." It's near dark when he arrives at the Helton home. Ever on alert he sees strangers inside the house, one of them is armed. By sheer dint of luck and courage he's able to get Lolly out of the house, but out means literally outside, trapped and hunted in an unforgiving ice storm. How could they possibly survive? - Gail Cooke
I love all Linda Howard's books but this book although good was just a little too short. I would have like it to have gone a little further into lolly and Gabriel's courtship but it didn't. The ice storm and cold struggle and the fighting with the drugged out killers was exciting and the romantic scene in the bathroom was good but it all was just a little to soon. They didn't really have a lot of time to get re-aquainted after 15 years it should have taken a little longer before the love scene and boom the ice storm was over they walked down the mountain and Lolly met Sam, another bathroom scene and the book was over. I needed just a little more keep me on the edge of my seat writing. I still would recommend the book because Linda Howard is great.
I love Linda Howard's earlier works but it seems her contemporary work has really struggled. This book was OK- I wish it were longer and involved getting to know Lolly and Gabriel and his son after the cabin incident. I dislike disaster stories/movies and the plot could have been expanded more. Three or four more chapters of them trying to restart their lives would have been so great. Readable? Yes. Forgettable? Yes.
loved it
Sure and just to let u know i will do anything for u *winks*

Palliation of Colorectal Cancer: New Possibilities and Challenges
Palliation of Colorectal Cancer: New Possibilities and Challenges
Drs. Grothey and Marshall have provided an excellent review of the latest developments in palliative treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and associated issues. Although widely metastatic disease remains incurable, outcome for mCRC patients has improved dramatically with new agents such as oxaliplatin (Eloxatin), irinotecan (Camptosar), capecitabine (Xeloda), bevacizumab (Avastin), cetuximab (Erbitux), and panitumumab (Vectibix). Medical oncologists treating mCRC are increasingly challenged with the task of integrating these drug regimens into clinical practice to provide the optimal care for their patients.
Choosing a Regimen
In a palliative setting, the question of whether to begin with irinotecan-based regimens or oxaliplatin-based combinations is frequently raised. The authors seem to recommend oxaliplatin-based first-line therapy, likely on the basis of the N9741 study in which FOLFOX (infusional fluorouracil [5-FU], leucovorin, oxaliplatin) outperformed IFL (bolus irinotecan, 5-FU, leucovorin) as well as several adjuvant trials. However, the bolus vs infusional 5-FU schedules in N9741, and limited availability of second-line therapy for subjects in the IFL arm, limit the interpretation of this finding.
Our own view is that there are no major differences in outcome whether one starts with oxaliplatin-based or irinotecan-based chemotherapy for mCRC. This is borne out by several randomized trials including a randomized phase III trial in the first-line setting[1] and a sequencing study in which survival for patients who received FOLFIRI followed by FOLFOX was similar to those receiving the regimens in reverse sequence.[2] "Stop-and-go" strategies have also been successfully explored with both regimens, as the authors note.
We agree with Drs. Grothey and Marshall that the choice of chemotherapy regimen in mCRC depends on the treatment goal for each patient. Surgery, be it resection of the primary cancer or metastectomy, remains the only modality for cure in colorectal cancer. The unfortunate patients with unresectable disease should receive optimal palliative therapy that provides the best prolongation of survival with the fewest side effects.
What about patients with mCRCtypically liver- and/or lung-confinedthat may be resectable if shrinkage is obtained? In this subset of patients, the goals of therapy may change depending on response to chemotherapy. These patients should be identified early, discussed in a multidisciplinary fashion, and treated aggressively with appropriate neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
Neoadjuvant Therapy for Initially Unresectable mCRC
Tumor response rate has nearly tripled over the past decade with contemporary colorectal chemotherapy (see Table 1). In addition, tumor shrinkage has been correlated with successful liver metastectomy in a retrospective analysis of published trials, and can help in selecting the optimal neoadjuvant regimen(s) in mCRC patients with potentially resectable metastases.[3]

The University of Georgia renamed its academic building the Holmes/Hunter Academic Building Tuesday, in honor of the two students who integrated the university 40 years ago.
The event capped a day of celebration commemorating the anniversary of the university's integration, Jan. 9, 1961.
The ceremony, held in the UGA Chapel on North Campus at 4 p.m., honored the Hamilton Holmes and Charlayne Hunter (now Hunter-Gault).
Hunter-Gault, South Africa bureau chief for CNN, was on hand for the ceremony. Holmes' wife, Marilyn, and son, Hamilton Jr., attended the ceremony in his honor. Holmes, an orthopedic surgeon, died in 1995 after quadruple bypass surgery.
With dozens of friends, students and former students, along with university faculty members, lining the chapel auditorium, UGA President Michael Adams kicked off the ceremony with a message of unity.
''It's time for us to come together,'' said Adams.
Renaming the academic building is symbolic, Adams said, because it is the building where the two youths registered in when they integrated the campus.
It is also important, Adams said, because the academic building is the first building that students see when they enter the campus through the Arch across from College Square in downtown Athens.
''I want students that see that building to say it's time for us to come together,'' Adams said.
Joining Adams at the dedication were Gov. Roy Barnes, who served as the keynote speaker for the event, as well as state Sen. Doug Haines, D-Athens; Athens-Clarke Mayor Doc Eldridge, and Athens-Clarke Commissioner John Barrow.
Barnes, a UGA graduate, praised Holmes and Hunter-Gault for helping to break the back of Jim Crow segregation laws and helping to end legal segregation in the state.
Barnes said he remembers vividly the period that marked Georgia's struggle with desegregation, but ''we owe (Holmes and Hunter-Gault) that debt of gratitude for having the courage that led to the change of hearts and minds in Georgia.''
The governor said today's youth should ''take pride in knowing that (Holmes and Hunter-Gault) had the courage to change history.''
While everyone looked on, Adams unveiled a model of the plaque that now graces the academic building, and presented Holmes' wife and Hunter-Gault with models of the building.
A model was also presented to the governor as a token of appreciation by Adams.
Saying that she was speaking on behalf of her late husband, Marilyn Holmes said her husband ''would have said thank you'' to everyone involved in the tribute.
''He would also laugh out loud,'' she said, and would have noted the irony in having the building that people tried to keep him out of now bearing his name.
Hunter-Gault took time Tuesday to speak fondly of her relationship with and memories of Hamilton Holmes.
''I always our thought our relationship was at least as thick as blood. But now it's as thick as cement,'' she said, noting that the renaming of the academic building further forges their bond.
Before leaving the Chapel stage to attend the official unveiling of the large plaque in front of the academic building, Hunter-Gault issued a powerful message to ''those who say that there is much to be done'' at the university.
''We are building on a magnificent foundation. ... It is not just a sad tale,'' said Hunter-Gault of the UGA legacy.
Standing in front of the academic building, Hunter-Gault and Marilyn Holmes unveiled the official Holmes/Hunter academic building plaque.
The crowd erupted in applause as Hunter-Gault ran her hands over the inscriptions on the plaque, her face glowing with pride.
