Help The American Red Cross Prevent A Summer Shortage
Help the American Red Cross prevent a summer shortage
BIRMINGHAM, AL (July 10, 2014) — The American Red Cross urges eligible blood donors to roll up a sleeve and give to help prevent a summer blood shortage. Blood donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative are especially needed.
The Red Cross is seeing fewer appointments at its blood donation centers and blood drives this summer than what is needed to ensure blood and platelets continue to be available for patients. During the summer months of June, July and August, on average, about two fewer donors make an appointment to give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what patients need. This can add up to more than 100,000 fewer donations during the summer.
Blood and platelet donations are needed every day for patients with many serious medical conditions. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood.
To learn more and make an appointment to donate blood, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.

By Judith Taylor
Oh no you don't…
Words alone cannot take away our "fat" thoughts. We peer over last year's vacation photos and weep. The cold weather allows us to cover up the pounds we gained over the holidays, but lingering thoughts…dare I say it, spring and summer are coming? Those words harbor dreadful images to all who know what that means.
So what does it bring? Soft breezes, warm weather, sleeves blouses and thin fabrics. Okay, no coats to hide in, no bulky sweaters to cover all, just you and me Babe, and the real world. What is a girl to do? My thoughts are with you.
I have spent the day looking over my magical box of thin tips. The ones I will share with just the two of us, are what I call the "thinnest of the thin" tips. The best-dressed women of the world have learned techniques to lengthen their body, hide their bulges and play up their best features. Try a couple of these and everyone will think you have dropped 10 pounds.
Go for the Monochromatic Look.
An instant slimmer is dressing in one color. You can have the look and vary the tone in the outfit. Keeping one color creates an optical illusion. You will add length to your body. Now, if you try to add another color you will lose the whole thing. It HAS to be all one color. Dark colors do it the best!
Look for Fit and Structure.
The biggest mistake here is in oversized clothing. FIT, FIT, is what you need to look trimmer. Many times we try to fool the world by wearing things that hang on our body. I am talking about baggy, too loose, shapeless, clothing. It does NOT fool anyone. Wearing fitted, proportioned, and tailored IS where it is at, Ladies!
No, honey, not TOO tight.
Keep in mind that I said fitted, not tight! Trying to fit into two sizes too small will only defeat your goal of looking thinner. Hear me, too tight will make you look larger than you are. No one wants to see bulges. Buy clothing that fits you well and not tight. Don't worry about the tags, rip them out if you want. Try pullover tops if the buttons pull and don't lay flat.
Highlight the Best of You.
Everyone has trouble spots. Downplay areas that are not your best. Hey, we all do it!
My session with clients often start with areas they are concerned about. Once they see the trick of camouflage they are happy campers.
Want to know a secret? Some of the people I dress don't have a weight problem but still are not happy with their body. Feel better? Thought you might. Bottom line, everyone is critical of their body no matter the size.
Wearing a longer sleeve when you want to hide your upper arms is a standard trick. If you're bigger at the top of your body, play up the legs. Solid color on top, print pattern at bottom. Select an A Line skirt. Choosing a straight leg pant will address this as well. You will only draw attention to your hips and tummy wearing a slim fit in a pant or jeans.
Look at Queen Latifah. She is showing off her legs and lengthening her body with skirts that are just above her knees.
If calves are bothering you, don't wear cropped pants. Instead go for a long pant.
Whatever the trouble spots, try styles that skim over heavy areas rather than clinging to them.
Be careful where the Fabric Ends.
If you want to look thin, never wear clothing that ends at the widest part of your body. If you have a wider waist, your top should extend beyond your waist to avoid making your waist look thick. If you carry most of your weight in the lower part of your body and have a thinner upper body, an empire waist may look flattering on you. This trick accentuates the upper body while hiding a less than perfect lower half.
Jackets are a woman's BEST friend. Selecting just the perfect shape and length will hide more than a few holiday pounds.
Girl, what is UNDER those clothes?
Last trick, and I have more should you need them at email@example.com, is choose your undergarments wisely. Spanx or Lipoinabox.com are miracle workers. They can take bulges and smooth them out! I can testify to their effectiveness. What a gift they give us.
Bra sizes have changed, have you? Every two years, have yourself measured and fitted. This makes such a difference in the way your clothing fits and hangs.
Great to hear from so many of you. I am here to help, and only an email away.

Gwen Stefani Reveals Her Torturous Ab Workout in September Issue of Harper's Bazaar (PHOTOS)
The 42-year-old pop rocker discussed her unique fashion sense and how she stays in shape while balancing full-time motherhood and career — which apparently isn't as easy as she makes it appear.
"There is no secret: you just have to eat healthy, work out, and torture yourself!"
Gwen has a few other tricks up her sleeve …
The mother of two — Kingston Rossdale and Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale — tells Bazaar that she gets a great cardio workout while jumping around onstage during concert performances in front of her countless screaming fans.
Although Stefani claims to "hate talking" about her body all the time, she told Harper's magazine that it's important for her to try to find time to go to the gym.
"I like to wear clothes too much, so I try to keep focused," says Stefani, "But it's more for my brain than it is for my body."
Makeup is another "accessory" that the No Doubt star won't skimp on — pretty much admitting that it's essential to have full face on at all times — even while lounging around the house with hubby and singer, Gavin Rossdale.
"I like to make my husband like me more … and he likes it when I'm wearing makeup."
Stefani doesn't let the little things in life bother her. In regards to Hollywood's nasty gossip and rumors, the platinum mom says: "That someone would say something untrue or bad about me doesn't bother me. It's like water off a duck's back."
To learn more about the singer and see the full spread of photos taken by celebrity photographer Terry Richardson, the September issue — largest in Bazaar history — releases to newsstands on August 21.

Lindsay Lohan's Presidential D.C. Arrival
Making her way through the Reagan National Airport, Lindsay Lohan arrived in Washington, D.C. while giving a not-so-friendly gesture to the paparazzi.
The "Mean Girls" actress arrived in the nation's capital this morning to attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where she will dine with President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle, although she didn't look thrilled to see her welcoming party as she held up her middle finger and covered her face with a fur scarf.
The 25-year-old wild child is the guest of Greta Van Susteren and John Coale of FOX News and will join other celebrity attendees including Kim Kardashian, George Clooney and event host, Jimmy Kimmel.
"I love comebacks, and I'd like her to succeed," Van Susteren said in an interview with TMZ about Lohan, who was almost late for the event after missing her flight on Friday (April 27). "The dinner isn't until tomorrow," she told POLITICO, suggesting that she wasn't worried about it.

Fresh charges for US sniper suspects
Two men suspected of the sniper attacks which terrorised the US last month have been indicted on fresh charges of murder in Louisiana and Washington DC.
Prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty.
In the US capital Washington DC, the pair were also charged with first-degree murder over the shooting on 3 October of 72-year-old carpenter Pascal Charlot, a charge which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Media leaks
Police said ballistics tests positively linked bullets used in the killing of Ballenger with the weapon used in several of the Washington sniper killings, the Associated Press reported.
Investigators also found shop receipts indicating the pair were in Baton Rouge at the time of the shooting.
Federal investigators on Thursday in Baton Rouge searched the woods near where relatives and friends of Mr Muhammad lived and took away several tree trunks as evidence.
Mr Muhammad, who appeared in a Virginia court on Wednesday in relation to charges over the 9 October fatal shooting of Dean Harold Meyers, has had another lawyer appointed as the seriousness and complexity of charges against the pair become increasingly apparent.
Jonathan Shapiro is expected to assist Mr Muhammad's current lawyer Peter Greenspun on charges relating to extortion of federal authorities.
Mr Greenspun, who has attempted unsuccessfully to ban cameras in the courtroom where Mr Muhammad appeared, has already criticised law enforcement authorities for media leaks he says have prejudiced the pair's trial.
"I think there are cowards in law enforcement ... who wanted to taint the jury pool and who wanted to seal public perception in this case," he said.
'Confession' row
Earlier in the week defence lawyers for the younger of two US sniper suspects, Mr Malvo, vowed to press for the suppression of alleged statements in which their client confesses to murder.
The team has condemned police for the manner in which the interrogation of the 17-year-old was conducted and for their subsequent leaking of the story to the Washington Post.
Citing unnamed officials, the paper had reported that Mr Malvo had admitted to pulling the trigger on several occasions during a shooting spree in the Washington area last month, which left 10 people dead and three wounded.
Mr Malvo was questioned by investigators on Thursday - an interrogation which his lawyers say was unconstitutional.
"The police are flooding the media and poisoning the jury poll with their own paraphrasing and subjective interpretations of statements made during an unconstitutional interrogation," said defence attorney Michael Arif.
According to the Washington Post, Mr Malvo admitted to pulling the trigger in several of the attacks. The newspaper reported that these included the fatal shooting of FBI analyst Linda Franklin, who was gunned down in suburban Virginia on 14 October.
Malvo has been charged in relation to Franklin's death.
The two men were arrested on 24 October after one of the nation's biggest ever manhunts.
The two suspects will face separate trials for different murders, but prosecutors said they may rely on evidence from any or all of the attacks around Washington DC.
A total of 21 shootings - 14 of them fatal - have now been linked to the pair.

Kate Middleton & Prince William Leave for North America (PHOTOS)
The Royal couple wore matching navy blue outfits with Will sporting one of his trademark blue suits and Kate wearing a well-tailored suit dress and blazer. While Kate looked typically chic, the real stand-out of her outfit was her glossy, freshly-curled hair, which might hint that the rumors about Kate bringing along her hairstylist James Pryce with her to North America are true.
Kate and William are expected to arrive in Ottawa at 2 pm ET. The pair will be greeted by Canada's Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, before attending a barbecue reception at Government House.
Kate and William's eleven-day, nine-city North American tour will mostly consist of official events and receptions – most notably an event in Ottawa on Canada Day where Prince William will give an official speech and a three-day weekend in Los Angeles. This will be the couple's first official tour together so the pressure is on for them to both be on their best behavior.
This will be Kate's first visit to North America, but not her first trip outside of Europe – Kate spent her gap year volunteering with Raleigh International in Chile before heading back to the UK to attend university.
While Kate was busy preparing for her trip to North America, her sister Pippa Middleton was busy putting some pesky rumors to rest. Earlier this week, Pippa attended Wimbledon with her boyfriend, Alex Loudon, proving that the two – despite multiple reports – have not broken up. Check out the cuddly photos below.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
Last year one of the most impressive, yet underrated, names in Reggae music, singer Mark Wonder, released a power packed album which featured himself alongside some of his most well known peers in a collaboration style. That album, 'True Stories of Mark Wonder & Friends', went far too overlooked by many as it was only released digitally and not given much promotion at all, so many fans didn't even know it existed.
So, if you missed it the first time around, the amazing voiced Mark Wonder has teamed up with the very reputable IrieVibrations from out of Austria and Groove Attack to re-release 'True Stories of Mark Wonder & Friends' digitally as well as on CD this time around and do so with two new songs as well. Joining the Kingston native is an outstanding lineup which includes the likes of Sizzla Kalonji & Gentleman [on the same tune, Don't Worry], Luciano, Lutan Fyah, Capleton, Anthony B, Fantan Mojah, Chezidek, Ziggi Recado and more!
The album, which was originally produced by Jamaican label Al.Ta.Fa.An, arrives back in stores on November 26. Do not miss it this time around.

BWW Recap: PRETTY LITTLE LIARS Shocks in Summer Secret Reveal
This week's summer shocker is here! Are you surprised? Did you see it coming? Let's dive right in! This week, #MelissasSecret took center stage as Spencer learns of her sister's past. Leaving her truthful testimonal to Spencer, big sis Hastings reveals that she saw Spencer with a shovel on the night of Ali's disappearance, and then the body of their friend. BUT, the body is not Alison's! That's right, Melissa Hastings buried Bethany Young alive, thinking she was protecting Spencer from being charged with the murder. Whoa. But, why was she wearing Alison's clothes? Will we see more of Melissa next season or is her trek back to London her final stop?
The girls are put into a sticky situation when "A" strikes just before they plan on ratting on Alison at the police station. "We're all in this together," a creepy arrangement of televisions flicker, "Act normal, bitches." Now forced to seek a back-up plan, Emily enlists the help of Rosewood's favorite ex-teacher, Ezra Fitz. The two snag a pretty incriminating photo of Cyrus (the man Alison forced into confessing that he was her kidnapper) and Ali at an ATM. Could this show her paying off her faux abductor? Ali better watch out, she's making more and more enemies by the day.
In couples' news, Mona and Mike are back together, which provokes Aria into whispering something (probably along the lines of, "Get your grimy hands off my brother.") in her ear during a creepy film noir movie. Later, a quick bathroom confrontation with Mona turns the two into only mild-enemies as Mona admits that, "Alison underestimated you [Aria]." But, #MonasWarning soon shows Aria that Alison could be back for revenge on the liars sooner than she thought. Emily pursues Paige, who has seemingly moved on to another Rosewood girl. Hanna continues to worry about Caleb and enlists Spencer and Toby in a intervention double date. Caleb's line of, "Who died and made you Oprah?" to Toby nailed it, but I still worry about our scruffy couch potato.

To produce steel, facilities use one of two processes: the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) or the electric arc furnace (EAF). The BOF process uses 25-35 percent old steel (scrap) to make new steel. BOFs make up approximately 40 percent of today's steelmaking in the U.S. The EAF process uses virtually 100 percent old steel to make new steel. EAFs make up about 60 percent of today's steelmaking in the U.S.

Hi, I would suggest that you let your child free and make him sit and study at that time of the day when he is energetic and in a good mood. Let him play sports and do some exercises. Also, if you can find any student studying child psychology or related subjects take tutions for your son then it would really help your kid learn fast. If you're somebody staying in and around Mulund, Mumbai then you can contact me.

After the President remarkably said on the Daily Show, "If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal," CNN's Jessica Yellin noted that host Jon Stewart used the word "optimal" in his question and "the President repeated it."

 However, Stewart was referring to "not the optimal response" by the administration to the attacks, not to the deaths themselves. Obama called the deaths "not optimal."

Words I munched on all weekend from Norm Gerras:
Racist incidents are, indeed, not just a matter of what is intended, as I have argued many times on this blog. But neither is the 'perception of other people' an adequate criterion. If it were, anyone could claim any word or gesture to be racist and that would settle the issue of whether it was. You could not have a flimsy or unfounded accusation of racism. There has to be some basis in the history and symbolism of the particular racism being alleged - whether anti-black, anti-Jewish, anti-Romani, anti-Chinese, or whatever - linking the incident or utterance in question with that 'tradition' of racial prejudice and persecution.
Gerras' definition makes me feel uneasy because history and traditions (or rather precisely perceptions and interpretations of them) can be and are often wrong/problematic.

Good morning girls and bois! Today we're talking to Maria about the importance of her clothes [of her pose]. She's the living editor for her university's newspaper which means she and journalism are together for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, 'til graduation do them part. When she's not in the news room, she studies women–like in school, ladies–and admits that her love for Tegan and Sara might be bordering on unhealthy. Word, Maria. I think it's safe to say that mostof us here are all too familiar with that feeling.
Let's talk about you! What's your style like?
"I want to be as comfortable as possible without wearing Uggs and a Northface jacket. I wear a lot of feminine things, like I love tights, I love dresses. Pretty much my style is like, 'What dress can I match with different tights and a different belt and different earrings?' I like to look nice and I like to look put together; I don't like to look like I rolled out of bed. I like to look put together because I want to give the illusion that I'm somewhat put together."
What do you like shoe-wise?
"Boots! I pretty much only wear boots. During the summer, during the the winter, during the spring. I'm a boot girl. I feel like boots are comfortable but they still look nice. I have these shoes that I wear everyday. They had a hole in the bottom, holes in both of them. You can see the line right there. I wore the heel away!"
So you like to keep things?
"I have the same headbands that I've been wearing since 10th grade. Like I have a shirt and a pair of jeans that my mom had to hide from me because she was like, 'Those have holes in them and that shirt is faded.'"
Tell me about your hair.
"I have a love/hate relationship with it, it's so curly. The thing is, I used to not mind wearing it curly when it was longer but then in the summer I was like, 'I need a change' so I got this asymmetrical hair cut which I liked when I took the time to straighten it. But when I didn't it was just like weird curl! weird curls up here! and when my bangs are not straight they're like crazy.
When my hair's like dirty or curly or when I don't have time to do anything to it or whatever I usually just like twist it up in the back or put it in a braid. or I'll do the Princess Leia buns and people are all like, 'Wow your hair looks great today.' and it's like, 'Yeah thanks 'cause I didn't have the time to do really anything.' But I like it best when it's straight."
Have you got any style icons?
"Lily Allen. Secretly when I'm picking out clothes, I think, 'Would Lily wear that?' I know that people have mixed feelings about her, but I can't help it. She's always got those doorknocker earrings which I love."
What do you like to see on girls that you wouldn't wear yourself?
"Suspenders. I always want to wear them but I just feel like I don't have the body type for it. I love chicks in suspenders."
Where do you go to shop?
"I love Retrospect on South Street. It's a vintage store but it's bigger. I mean it's not cheap, but it's moderately priced; it's not like a salvation army."

'The Big Ripoff' Comes To Health InsuranceAfter seeing the Washington Post's "Universal Health Coverage Attracts New Support; Onetime Foes Become Unlikely Advocates, Citing Rising Costs and Tougher Access" by Christopher Lee in Monday's Washington Post, I asked the National Center for Public Policy Research's health care guru, David Hogberg, to critique the Post's story for publication. He did so.
Says David:
In a very poorly written article in the Washington Post, reporter Christopher Lee seems to find it remarkable that a lot of the health insurance groups that opposed Hillary Clinton-Care back in the early 1990s are now on board with a number of the new efforts at health insurance reform (and I use that last term loosely).Something David did not note, but which I believe is significant, is that Hillary Clinton's "Clinton Care" plan from her husband's first term was not primarily defeated by the Harry and Louise ads.
Lee notes:Many are not willing to wait. Karen Ignagni, president of America's Health Insurance Plans -- the same industry association that once funded the "Harry and Louise" ads -- was among representatives of 16 business, medical and consumer groups that last week called for Congress to spend $45 billion over five years to extend health coverage to most of the nation's uninsured children. After that, the groups said, lawmakers should direct billions more toward covering uninsured adults, mostly through a mixture of tax breaks and expanded federal programs.What Lee fails to report is that the left-wing group Families USA is the one organizing the 16 groups calling for more spending. Dubbed the Health Coverage Coalition for the Uninsured (HCCU), its members include insurance heavyweights like America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Kaiser Permanente and United Health Group. Apparently Lee is at a loss to explain why these groups are getting on board, so he simply goes on to describe various new health insurance proposals, such as those of Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) and Ed Rendell (D-PA).
Perhaps Lee should read Tim Carney's book, The Big Ripoff, where Carney chronicles why big business loves big government. One reason is that big business often gets loads of subsidies from big government, and that would surely be the case with these new health insurance proposals. Wyden's, Schwarzenegger's and Rendell's proposals are much like the Governor Romney's plan that ultimately prevailed in Massachusetts in that they provide subsidies for people to buy health insurance. That, of course, means lots of new business for Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Kaiser Permanente, United Health Group and other health insurance companies that are members of AHIP. Wyden's, Schwarzenegger's and Rendell's proposals also mirror Romney's in that they have an "individual mandate" -- that is, they force people to buy health insurance. Well, if everyone has to purchase health insurance, that means even more business for big insurance companies.
These health insurance companies opposed Hillary Clinton-Care because it threatened their existence. The reason they embrace more recent proposals is because they are a potential boon for their bottom lines.
It is not surprising that big health insurance would line up so eagerly to suckle from the government teat. Thanks to government policy, they are already one of the most coddled industries in the U.S., leading health insurance companies to be, as a friend of mine puts it, "big, dumb and slow." Government tax policy ensures that insurance companies only have to compete for the business of a few million employers instead of many million more employees. Federal and state laws prevent people from purchasing health insurance out-of-state, thereby further insulating big health insurance companies from competition. Indeed, when Congress tries to let people buy insurance out-of-state, it is big health insurance that opposes it.
There are a lot of innovative ideas that could make health insurance less costly. Professor Regina Herzlinger notes that in Switzerland, which has a very competitive health insurance market, there are policies that give people back some of their money. A consumer signs signs up for a five or ten-year policy, and when he signs up, he has his health measured by the health insurance company. Based on his health status, the company and the consumer decide on certain five-year goals for that consumer's health. If the consumer meets those goals at the end of five or ten years, he gets back a percentage of the money he paid in premiums.
Writing for Consumers for Health Care Choices, Dr. James Pendleton offers another innovative idea. Called "Market Driven Insurance," it entails bringing some competition to catastrophic costs. Under Pendleton's proposal, a person who needs non-emergency catastrophic care, say bypass surgery or cancer treatment, would be given a list of places where he could receive the treatment, the price of treatment at each of those places and the average price of the treatment. If he chose a place that was less than the average price, he would receive a percentage of difference between the price of the treatment and the average price. If he chose a place that cost more than the average price, he would have to pay an additional charge.
No one in the health insurance industry is, to my knowledge, at present pursuing these innovative ideas. Why? Because government policy protects Big insurance from the competition that leads to such innovation. Health insurance companies are, as my friend said, "big, dumb and slow."
Look at the insurance markets -- like auto insurance -- where government policy does not protect carriers from competition. The innovation is relentless. Progressive Insurance lets people use its website to compare prices of many difference auto insurance companies. It also provides a "concierge" service if you are in an accident. AllState Insurance now offers "accident forgiveness" and a deductible that goes lower the longer one has no accident. Lesson: fierce competition leads to innovation.
Unfortunately, neither Wyden's, Schwarzenegger's, Rendell's nor Romney's plans do anything to increase competition. Indeed, they do exactly the opposite by guaranteeing big health insurance companies new streams of revenue. They will only make those companies bigger, dumber and slower.
Christopher Lee begins his piece with:
Harry and Louise have had a change of heart.Lee is technically correct when he writes that the ads "helped" defeat Hillary Clinton's version of universal care, but the massive grassroots revolt against Mrs. Clinton's plan was a much bigger "help." I also believe Lee errs in attempting to equate Mrs. Clinton's circa 1993-94 version of "universal coverage" with current "comprehensive proposals for expanding coverage to millions of uninsured Americans" through sleight of hand. The proposals under consideration today are nothing like Mrs. Clinton's late and unlamented plan. Even Senator Ted Kennedy's "Medicare-for-All" plan, which would force every American into Medicare (never mind that Medicare already is insolvent) differs markedly from what Mrs. Clinton tried to impose upon the American people thirteen years ago.
Thirteen years after television ads from the insurance industry featuring the fictional middle-class couple helped kill the Clinton health care plan and make universal coverage politically radioactive, comprehensive proposals for expanding coverage to millions of uninsured Americans are flowering again inside the Beltway and around the country...
"Universal" health care is radioactive not because actors playing "Harry" and "Louise" sat on a sofa and fretted about Mrs. Clinton's plan, but because single-payer medicine inevitably leads to shortages, suffering and death. To say that "universal" coverage is opposed because of the insurance industry's Harry and Louise ads and not because Americans fear the long lines for cancer treatments and heart procedures their Canadian and British friends endure may make for a nice irony in opening paragraphs, but this meme misses, as David notes, a large portion of the story.
Furthermore, regardless of whatever may be going on in the heads of insurance executives, the genuine Harrys and Louises of this nation are far from having a change of heart about the workability and safety of "universal" Big Government Medicine.

Pam Gore, Professor of Geology
Almost Evergreen
Back around 1996-97 we had a big contest to rename the college. "DeKalb College" no longer seemed to fit as a name as we extended into surrounding counties. I submitted lots of names to the contest and won some prizes at fall convocation including a pair of tickets to a Braves game.
The official name selected after interviews with focus groups, etc., was EVERGREEN COLLEGE. (This was written up in the Atlanta Journal Constitution on August 30, 1997.)
Well, all of this was the year that fall convocation was held at the First Baptist Church of Atlanta off I-285 in the old Avon Headquarters. And this is the famous year (if I remember correctly) in which the faculty and staff were served FROZEN SANDWICHES by the caterer. Have you ever tried to eat a turkey sandwich with ice chunks and frozen meat?
Well, we are not called Evergreen College. Apparently the Regents decided that we would be Georgia Perimeter College, reflecting our accessibility and the location of several campuses close to 285.

Creator and showrunner Mark Roberts quits the Melissa McCarthy-starring comedy series and will be replaced by Al Higgins.
"Mike & Molly" is left by its creator and showrunner Mark Roberts. Warner Bros. TV has announced that Roberts "will be stepping down from his showrunner and executive producer roles after three successful seasons to focus on other projects."
The studio, which produces the CBS sitcom, has found a replacement for Roberts. "Al Higgins, currently co-executive producer of 'Mike & Molly', has been named executive producer and will serve as day-to-day showrunner of the comedy for its upcoming fourth season," it states.
Warner Bros. TV doesn't explain further the reason of the shift, but Deadline says that the show's cast and crew were not happy with Roberts. Higgins, meanwhile, will serve as executive producer alongside Chuck Lorre.
"Mike & Molly" starring Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell has received a full 22-episode new season order from CBS. The fourth season is slated to air in midseason, giving a time to the show to adjust to the transition.

UK Traffic Law
Have UK Traffic Law Questions? Ask a Traffic Lawyer Online.
Hi unluckly I was using my phone.
Hi I have 3 points from about 3 years, when I was stopped going through a amber to red traffic lights.
Also I checked my license it expired in Feb 2013, so I need to apply for new license. The FPN requires me to produce my license at my local police station.
If I lost at court what will the court cost be like?
Can I go ask them to re-issue or correct FPN as it has code 125 and not CU80?
So what I will do is go to police station, highlight the wrong code, tell them I can not produce the license as I am waiting for a renewal license to come through.
Should ignore the FPN fine of £60 for now or pay that?
Thanks I will go with that.

NZ and Australia to work together on high seas conservation
NZ and Australia to work together on high seas conservation
New Zealand and Australia will work together on proposals to develop a new international agreement for improving conservation and management of the marine environment beyond countries' national jurisdiction, New Zealand Conservation Minister Dr Nick Smith and Australian Environment Minister Greg Hunt announced today in Kaikōura.
"New Zealanders and Australians share a strong association with the ocean environment, both of us have responsibility for huge ocean areas and we both have a strong history of leadership in oceans management," the Ministers say.
"It makes good sense for us to work closely together on improving the conservation and management of the ocean environment beyond national jurisdictions."
In 2012, the United Nations Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development agreed on a deadline to report back to the United Nations General Assembly on filling this gap in oceans governance by September 2015.
United Nations discussions on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction are due to be held in New York next month.
"Two thirds of the world's oceans are in areas beyond the national jurisdiction of individual nation states. Strengthening environmental governance to ensure the sustainable management of marine resources in this huge area is needed," Dr Smith says.
"New Zealand has a proud record of leadership in oceans management with our Quota Management System, our network of marine reserves and our EEZ regulation, and we need to contribute constructively to this UN process by ensuring the high seas are also better managed.
"Australia is an obvious partner in this work as our near neighbour in the Southern Ocean and as a country which has long played a major role internationally in oceans management."
Minister Hunt says this presents an ideal opportunity for Australia and New Zealand to forge an even stronger bond.
"Australia will work in close collaboration with New Zealand on ensuring that any instrument adequately addresses the gaps in governance and marine conservation and does not adversely affect our significant oceans interests and our associated rights, and obligations under international law," Minister Hunt said.
Discussions this weekend in Kaikōura have reinforced the ambition our countries have for improving the management of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction," he says.
"Our officials will be working closely together through the United Nations processes to help develop a new agreement to improve the sustainable management of our global oceans," the Ministers said.

Bret Easton Ellis's new novel, which features the author as protagonist, includes a recap of all the books he has written so far. If, like me, you were stuck in a cave during the 1990s and missed Ellis's rise to fame as the leader of a literary brat pack, the opening pages of Lunar Park will fill you in. Among other things, it gives the first sentence of each previous work, brief summaries that reveal all of them to have been about "wealthy, alienated, sexually ambiguous" people during the Reagan era, an account of the controversy surrounding the publication of American Psycho and salient biographical details that seem to reveal close parallels between the author's life and his fictional settings.
This is such useful information - eliminating a reviewer's need to dig out the old books and hurriedly skim through them - that publishers should make it mandatory for all authors to include a similar first chapter. They probably would too, if it weren't for the fact that most novelists have boring lives, usually avoiding the cocaine and showing up right on time for book readings.
Ellis is made of sterner stuff. His account of a successful literary career shows the combustible stress required to fuel high-profile creativity: "To make sure I stayed drug-free during the first leg of the Glamorama tour, Knopf hired a Jamaican bodyguard to keep an eye on me… Like many esteemed (albeit sloppy) drug users, I usually had cocaine powder all over my jackets when I came out of bathroom stalls, dusting my lapels, dotting itself in chunks on the trousers of my new Cerruti suits…"
Of course, this is a fictional Ellis, shaped deftly with well-chosen details from the author's life, but even so he suffers from a burnout. He decides to dry out and relocate to an upscale suburb outside New York City, joining the Hollywood actress with whom he fathered a son in the days of his wild youth. Ellis starts teaching creative writing at a local college and tries to look after the son and a stepdaughter, attempting to adjust to a midlife where the only permissible addictives are organic and fat-free.
"You do an awfully good impression of yourself," the Hollywood actress says to the fictional Ellis, and this is pretty much the intention of Lunar Park. It takes the material of press releases and celebrity profiles and uses it to create a stand-in Ellis who is self-obsessed, famous, minimally talented and scarred by his relationship with his father.
This is done extremely well, in a way that is more impressive than the books that have brought Ellis so much notoriety. American Psycho, for instance, demonstrates a narrow if uncompromising form of realism. The premise of a Wall Street type (wealthy, alienated, sexually ambiguous) alternating between power lunches and grotesque killings is shocking, clever and funny, but the descriptions of Armani suits and grotesque murders become tedious after the first 200 pages. The novel's horrific violence is also disturbing in a way not quite covered by its stance of social critique, so that it is a pleasure to see Ellis getting his kicks in a different way.
The voice of the fictional Ellis in Lunar Park is always inadequate in the face of events, especially as they take increasingly bizarre turns: teenage boys go missing; a toy bird starts coming alive; the dead father still seems to be around; and Patrick Bateman, the serial killer from American Psycho, shows up at a party. The resulting suburban Gothic is impressively disorientating; every jacuzzi or SUV is potentially menacing, each social encounter tinged with loss and fear. As always, Ellis is superb at depicting what Freud called the narcissism of minor differences, and nothing is sadder than the children hollowed out by life in these gated communities.
Where Ellis falters is in his occasional attempts to locate the meaning of such psychosis in a world beyond that of brand names and gossip columns.
For the most part, Lunar Park shows us that the self-absorption of wealth and fame calls forth its own demons, but it throws in a few half-hearted symbols such as Elsinore Lane and Fortinbras Park. These are about as convincing as the final attempt at redemption that suggests all disorder springs from difficult parent-child relationships.
But such flaws don't matter too much in a novel that is more or less self-contained, where a sense of entitlement is a necessary precondition to dementia or terror. It demonstrates a reinvigorated talent that is all the more impressive for its funny and frightening portrayal of failure. The real-life Ellis must be staying away from the coke.

Healthcare stocks took off in 2013, with the sector putting up some of the best gains on Wall Street. Among the S&P core sectors, healthcare stocks dramatically outperformed even the impressive 29% jump for the stock market as a whole with roughly 39% gains for the sector.
The run was largely due to anticipation of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) opening up new "customers" to many healthcare providers.
But thanks to delays with the rollout and implementation of Obamacare coupled with big demographic opportunities created by the aging baby boomers, there remains significant upside in 2014 for healthcare stocks as well.Continue Reading

Today, we're looking at five stocks all have great fundamentals, but each has a couple different potentials for a spark in the new year.
Specifically, three have the potential to benefit from the "January effect" that supports small-cap and illiquid stocks, and the other two have come under some selling pressure that should abate in January.
So, here's a look at five stocks to buy for January.Continue Reading
While the market's sizzling run in 2013 was the toast of Wall Street, it wasn't roses in every corner. Specifically, thanks to a spike in Treasury yields, many higher-yielding assets such as utilities, real estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships and business development companies — which are sensitive to interest rates — took it on the chin.
But that's not to say big income should be avoided in 2014. Several high-yielding dividend stocks look particularly tempting against the current backdrop, and could offer investors payouts in the high single digits, even double digits. Better still, I think each of the following three stocks could be set up for capital gains as well.Continue Reading
Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing special about the month of January from an investment perspective.
I'm not a big believer in the "Santa Claus rally" or in the "January effect" — the popular names given to the market's tendency to post good returns in December and January — because seasonal patterns like these tend to get trumped by whatever the prevailing market trend happens to be. In other words, in a good, healthy cyclical bull market, December and January should see decent returns — along with the other ten months.
Coming off one of the best market years since the 1990s, I expect to see a strong start to 2014. And the start of the year is a great time to rebalance your portfolio and add some new holdings, like these 5 ETFs that look red-hot for 2014.Continue Reading

There Are No Babies In Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres' Future
"There comes some pressure in your mid-30s, and you think, Am I going to have kids so I don't miss out on something that other people really seem to love? Or is it that I really genuinely want to do this with my whole heart? I didn't feel that my response was 'yes' to the latter. You have to really want to have kids, and neither of us did. So it's just going to be me and Ellen and no babies — but we're the best of friends and married life is blissful, it really is. I've never been happier than I am right now."
–Portia de Rossi talks to Out Magazine about her decision not to become a mother. I like the distinction between not wanting to miss out and actually wanting to become a parent. I think it's a smart one. I should probably start asking myself the same questions. Nah. I'll put it off a while longer and think instead about the new season of "Arrested Development." May 26th, baby. [DListed]

wradlib: An Open Source Library for Weather Radar Data Processing¶
|March 09, 2016
The wradlib project has been initiated in order facilitate the use of weather radar data as well as to provide a common platform for research on new algorithms. wradlib is an open source library which is well documented and easy to use. It is written in the free programming language Python.
Please cite wradlib as Heistermann, M., Jacobi, S., and Pfaff, T.: Technical Note: An open source library for processing weather radar data (wradlib), Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci., 17, 863-871, doi:10.5194/hess-17-863-2013, 2013
Weather radar data is potentially useful in meteorology, hydrology and risk management. Its ability to provide information on precipitation with high spatio-temporal resolution over large areas makes it an invaluable tool for short term weather forecasting or flash flood forecasting.
wradlib is designed to assist you in the most important steps of processing weather radar data. These may include: reading common data formats, georeferencing, converting reflectivity to rainfall intensity, identifying and correcting typical error sources (such as clutter or attenuation) and visualising the data.
This documentation is under steady development. It provides a complete library reference as well as a set of tutorials which will get you started in working with wradlib.

This title considers various issues regarding celibacy and Christianity including the following: how the female body is used to underpin exploitative social systems, how Christianity has tried to control the bodies of women through regulations about the female body, how women have used celibacy to subvert the social order, how radical incarnationalism and queer theory create new challenges to traditional understandings of celibacy, how being erotic and celibate may manifest in social, sexual and political ways. It also explores how being erotically celibate challenges patriarchal society and opens up new theological understanding.
Introduction Chapter 1 The Body Social and the Divine BodyChapter 2 Queering the Body of Christ Chapter 3 Celibacy: The Hidden HistoryChapter 4 True Love Waits Chapter 5 The Power of the EroticChapter 6 Erotic Celibacy: The Power of Queer Revolutions
"'This is one of those books that, after you have read it, you will come back to it and re-read it again and again...it is an important book, written with clarity and even humour, which will be crucial for postgraduate students and advanced undergraduates in the complex area of theology and sexuality.

Armed police patrols have been increased at both Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley airports in response to Saturday's terror attack in Glasgow.
Flights in and out of both airports were operating as normal on Monday.
However, passengers are being advised to arrive earlier than normal to check in for flights.
Northumbria Police said there was no "specific intelligence" to suggest Newcastle Airport or any other landmarks in the region were targets for terrorist attacks.
A spokesman said: "Additional resources were deployed throughout the force area on Saturday night and will continue to be over the coming days.
"The public can be reassured that we have sufficient specialist officers on duty to ensure public safety."

Time Schedule:
James K. Wellman
Seattle Campus
Development of religious thought in the West from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. History of focal ideas: God, man, knowledge, and authority during this period and the relation of changes in these ideas to the ways in which basic issues in religious thought have been conceived. Recommended: RELIG 201
Class description
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the main currents in modern Western religious thought. The course begins with a discussion of Greek philosophical antecedents to medieval thought. We then turn to critical figures in the middle ages including Augustine, Aquinas and William of Ockham. This provides a basis for understanding the thought of the Reformers, especially Martin Luther and John Calvin. We then move into the modern period with the study of Immanuel Kant and the turn toward ethics as the basis of religion. As a response to the Enlightenment's focus on the subject we will examine the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, and his engagement with existential thought and the reality of the "other." In the contemporary period we will read the post-liberal Protestant theology of George Lindbeck as an exemplar of the cultural linguistic mode of post-modernism. The course will end with an examination of the recent conversations between religion and science as the unlikely conclusion to the Enlightenment's fundamental rejection of religion as a valid mode of rational inquiry.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
The principal teaching vehicle will be lectures, with student questions >>encouraged. There will also be some films. >>
Recommended preparation
Some background in the history of religions or in intellectual history is recommended, especially RELIG 201, Introduction to World Religions: Western Traditions.
Reading the first ninety pages of Richard Tarnas, The Passion of the Western Mind would be very helpful in preparation for the course.
Class assignments and grading

[Relatives of innocent Yemenis killed in US drone attacks hold up photos of their loved ones. (Photos: Human Rights Watch)]
By Elham Asaad Buaras
Seventeen wedding guests were killed in US drone air strike in Yemen on December 12.
The officials said that 22 others (from al-Tays and al-Ameri families) were injured, nine in critical condition. The vehicles were traveling near the town of Radda in al-Bayda province, when they were attacked.
Four of the 11 vehicles were targeted in the strikes and two were completely damaged. Among the dead were two prominent tribal leaders.
Two of the dead were suspected militants, but the rest were all civilians with no connection to al-Qa'ida
"More than 50 innocent civilians in our town have been killed by drones," said Abdullah al-Kabra, an eyewitness to the drone strike.
"All those who were killed were supportive of the government's anti-terror campaign. That will surely not be the case of their tribes and families if the government does not strongly intervene," he added.
Yemeni security experts have argued that drones have on numerous occasions have directly played into al-Qa'ida's favour, turning peaceful tribal communities into vengeful killers.
"The attack proved the need for tighter control and regulations as far as drones are concerned. At times, they have proved deadly and destructive to civilians," said Abdul Salam Mohammed, the President of the Sanaa-based Abaad Studies & Research Centre.
In its October report Human Rights Watch said it "investigated the six strikes during two trips to Yemen in 2012 and 2013. These attacks, one from 2009 and the rest from 2012-13, killed 82 people, at least 57 of them civilians. At least four of the strikes were carried out by drones, a fifth strike by either drones or warplanes, and a sixth one by cruise missiles releasing cluster munitions, indiscriminate weapons that pose unacceptable dangers to civilians."

Aid Tracking Efforts in Haiti
In the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, UNDP and the Office of the Special Envoy for Haiti supported the Government and the international community to establish an aid information management system, which tracks assistance provided by UN Member States, International Financial Institutions, the UN System, regional organizations, NGOs and others for the reconstruction of the country. The system was used to capture pledges in real time during the International Donors' Conference Towards a New Future for Haiti in March 2010 the international community pledged more than $5.3 billion in aid for the next 18 months. Pledge data can be accessed at: http://www.refondation.ht/.
At present, UNDP and its partners are working with the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission to trace programme and project level assistance, which will allow the Government, the people of Haiti and the international community to know where assistance is going, where are the gaps and how best to utilize the resources. In the second half of August 2010, the Commission reported that it "has received more than $1.6 billion in new project proposals that span across all aspects of Haiti's recovery and development, from agriculture and education, to water and disaster preparedness. Of this, nearly $1 billion in funding has already been committed and the IHRC expects the additional funds to come from the Haiti Reconstruction Fund (HRF) and a combination of existing and future commitments from the international community."
In conjunction with its support to the aid tracking efforts, UNDP is working with staff from the Government in strengthening their aid management and coordination capacities.
