A total of 120 credits are required for graduation.
Animal Science Option. This option includes animal nutrition, physiology, behavior, and disease. Students will normally emphasize one or more of these areas. A strong preparatory background in the basic sciences is needed. Students in this option seek employment in technical areas and/or continue their studies in specialized graduate programs.
In addition to the core courses specified of the major, the following courses are required: AVS 212, 275, 323, 324, 332, 412, 472; AVS 420 or BIO 352; CHM 101, 102, 112, 114; CHM 124, 126 or CHM 226, 227, 228; CMB 201 or 211; and MTH 131 and STA 307 or 308.

Preveterinary Option. This option requires a demonstrated capability in the basic sciences and prepares students for admission to veterinary schools offering the D.V.M. degree. Students in this track will also be well prepared to pursue graduate programs in animal physiology, nutrition and health. Because admission requirements among schools are not totally uniform and are subject to change, students should determine specific requirements of the schools in which they are interested.

Tucked away by the Mission is this gem of a restaurant. Quaint and cozy with gracious service, it offers the French classics. We shared a scrumptious escargot with their crusty bread and it was so delicious we couldn't wait for it to cool, the sizzling garlic butter too tempting. I had the Sole, and it was perfect with the most intriguing whipped potatoes,,,a flavor that was subtle but exotic. My husband had the Half Duck with a perfect Blood Orange sauce. We had cappucino's that were perfect with the chocolate torte. A nice wine list,,,both California and France well represented. Really well done,,,a lovely evening.

Call the Right Play for Super Bowl LI
Pass the Keys to a Sober Driver Before the Game Begins
Goleta - February 3rd, 2017
Football fans across the country will tune in to the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 5 and for many, the event often includes alcohol. The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and the Goleta Police Department are teaming up with law enforcement across the state for a specialFans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk campaign to urge all football fans to call the right play on Super Bowl weekend and pass the keys to a sober driver before the drinking begins.
Impaired driving can be deadly. A driver is considered alcohol-impaired with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher, but even a small amount of alcohol can impair judgment and reaction times enough to make driving unsafe. Drugs such as many prescription medications, marijuana or illicit drugs can also lead to impairment and unsafe driving leading to a DUI.
"Fans that are impaired can secure a safe ride home by designating a sober driver, using public transportation, or calling a taxi or rideshare program," said Lieutenant Kevin Huddle, Chief of Police Services for the City of Goleta.
"Volunteer to be a designated driver to help your family and friends get home safely," said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. "Impaired driving only leads to disaster and tragedy. It is never worth the risk. If you do plan to drink, and/or are taking medications or using marijuana, plan now to pass the keys to a sober driver before kickoff."
Drivers are encouraged to download the Designated Driver VIP, or "DDVIP," free mobile app for Android or iPhone. The DDVIP app helps find nearby bars and restaurants that feature free incentives for the designated sober driver, from free non-alcoholic drinks to free appetizers and more. The feature-packed app even has social media tie-ins and even a tab for the non-DD to call Uber, Lyft or Curb.
For those who plan to drive, refrain from any alcohol and be aware of possible drug impairment. Instead, enjoy the game with food and non-alcoholic drinks. This Super Bowl weekend, be a team player and help keep impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel. And remember: Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk.
The City of Goleta contracts with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office for police services.

If you're in a different state, I'm thinking about moving there. So just seeing what the people are like there.
Right now mostly leaving towards Colorado.
Good food
Good friends
Good whiskey
Good music
Cool nights
A hot fire
Funny jokes
And a clear sky full of stars
i have to admit that i tend to get bored easily and move on to something else.
Update: not in school for anything anymore. Just working full time for now. Sitting a desk 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I work late and I have weekends off.
I like to keep learning new things and expanding my knowledge.
Favorite movies are: the royal tenenbaums, the life aquatic, lost in translation, a love song for Bobby long.
I enjoy British and American comedies and dramas: dr. Who, game of thrones, the walking dead, BSG, the IT CROWD, red dwarf, Ted talks, Sherlock, sons of anarchy, arrested development..
Music: radiohead, the mountain goats, fleet foxes, mewithoutyou, cake, death cab, the shins, the Decemberists, muse.
Annnddd... I do still watch some anime from time to time. I'm a bit of a nerd and I'm proud of it. But that's not all there is to me.
Good books
Good food
I'll add more later
But I'm afraid you're gonna have to get to know me better in order to know all about me. I tend to keep things to myself mostly anyway.
Also: not interested in your bernie sanders, socialism, Marxism, communist bullshit.

Form is size is tiny & hard to read on embedded form.Asked by KCHDA on March 15, 2016 at 09:34 PM
When I open the form through JotForm it is easily readable (font size/label size), however, when I open the form through our KCHDA website it is TEENY TINY form size/font size. Why is it doing this? Please help!!
Lori Wade
JotForm Support
Could you please provide us the link to your website, so we will take a look and see if there is something affecting the style on your form.
JotForm Support
I'm checking the website, I see the form is not embedded on the page but is anchored to a text as a clickable link.
I was redirected to this form link when I clicked the entry form: http://form.jotform.com/60284108035246.
This is how it looks like in my end:
If you need to adjust some font size and the width of the form, you can use the Form Designer Tool. Here's a guide to learn more about it: http://www.jotform.com/help/300-Form-Designer-Tutorial-Let-s-create-fantastic-forms-
If you need to embed the form on your website, you can follow this basic guide that we have: http://www.jotform.com/help/34-Adding-a-Form-to-a-Web-Page. I do recommend that you used the iFrame embed code to make sure no script conflicts will happen.
Let us know if that helps.

The Purple Loosestrife Project, sponsored by Michigan State University, aims to control Purple loosestrife in Michigan (Lythrum salicaria) through the introduction of loosestrife-eating beetles from Europe. But rather than just focusing on applying biological controls, the PLP encourages public involvement through education and school-sponsored projects. Their site has many activities and lessons for the K-12 crowd, plus general information about the value of wetlands and the problems caused by Purple loosestrife invasion.

Sharpness at 18mm
The sharpness tests for this review were carried out using a real-world subject rather than a test chart. The Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens was attached to a Canon EOS M body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. Self-timer mode was activated. Slight tonal changes are due to slight changes in natural light during the session.
The full frame at 18mm
Centre sharpness remains high through from f/4 to f/11, with f/16 and f/22 being adversely affected by diffraction. The edges aren't nearly as sharp as the centre, with f/5.6 to f/11 producing the sharpest results.

H-E-B Opens Largest Convenient Care Clinic in Houston Store

The new facility, the grocer's 21st, has three exam rooms and a special blood draw station.
H-E-B yesterday opened its 21st in-store clinic in Houston, a clinic that the Convenient Care Association said is the largest of its kind inside a retail facility.
The 926-square-foot clinic has three exam rooms and a room specifically designed for blood draws, is the largest RediClinic in operation.
"Easy access to affordable healthcare is a high priority for H-E-B customers," said Scott McClelland, president of H-E-B Houston, "RediClinic will be providing this service at our newest Houston store."
RediClinics are staffed by certified nurse practitioners who work with local physicians to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medications for common medical conditions, such as strep throat and upper respiratory infections. They also administer a broad range of preventive services, including health screenings, medical tests, immunizations, and basic physical exams. The clinics are open seven days a week (including most holidays) and offer extended hours on weekdays. Adults and children over age can walk in with no appointment, and a typical visit takes about 15 minutes, according to RediClinic.
RediClinic visits in Texas are covered by the nation's four largest commercial health insurance carriers - Aetna, CIGNA, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare - as well as by Medicare and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Those who are covered by health plans that do not currently have agreements with RediClinic receive specially-formatted receipts that can be filed for possible reimbursement.
In Greater Houston, healthcare provider Memorial Hermann provides physician oversight to RediClinic's nurse practitioners and collaborates with RediClinic on clinical quality and consumer education initiatives.
RediClinic operates 21 clinics in H-E-B stores in Houston and Austin, Texas; and 15 clinics in Wal-Mart stores in Atlanta, Ga., Fayetteville and Rogers, Ark., Richmond, Va., and Tulsa, Okla.

For the gigging guitarist or bassist, the CHROMATIC TUNER TU300 is an absolutely essential piece of gear that goes above and beyond the capabilities of ordinary tuners.
Most guitarists and bassists tune to standard tuning: (low to high) E, A, D, G, B, E for guitar and E, A, D, G for bass. Still others like to detune their instruments for access to lower notes and increased string flexibility. No matter what you prefer, the TU300 can accommodate.
That's because this crucial stomp box gives you three guitar modes (regular, flat, double flat), three bass modes (regular, flat, double flat) and a chromatic setting. Whether you stay in standard tuning, detune, or tune to an exotic tuning of your own design, the TU300 will get you there quickly and accurately.

Mayhem # 3426075
About MeThe reason I want to be a model is because, when I was younger I had really low self esteem issues. I was given an opportunity to model for a fashion line and it sparked a new self confidence I didn't know I had, and now that I have grown in to my body I have grown to love myself and my body. I feel that modeling is showing a part of me that is beautiful and unique, it helps me build myself and I begin to feel confident and strong. I also feel that I can share my challenges with other girls who felt awkward and weird and show there is all different forms of beauty. I feel like I also connect and relate to many different women because I have such a unique cultural background being bi-racial mix of Black, Mexican, White I am a true women of the world. Modeling has become and will always be a passion of mine, its something I would love to pursue as a career in my future.

For a small house (we have a three bed) this steam cleaner is perfect. Easy and quick to use and store. Love it and the price is fair, 80£. It uses any old cloth/towel and lasts for a long time. It has a long cable and a long hose. Perfect buy for a small household and for quick cleaning as well as thorough. The small brushes are indeed not good quality and hard to shop for. I called the after sales service at Domotec and they deliver 3 brushes for 9£.
The extension tubes are a bit small for a normal person even.

Why protect free speech?
Index on Censorship has published a short edited extract from Ideas That Matter: Key Concepts for the 21st Century (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2009) by AC Grayling, Professor of philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London, in which he provides a compelling and pithy case in favour of free speech and against censorship:
It's a surprise to learn how universal censorship is
While even the most tyrannical regime will pay lip service to free speech, it is a right that is constantly denied.
There are two bedrock civil liberties without which the very idea of civil liberty is empty. They are freedom of speech and due process of law. … The fundamental justifications for freedom of expression are as follows. First, it is an intrinsic right of every individual not to be forced to think, speak and believe at the dictate of others, but to do these things of their own free accord. Secondly, it is of the essence to the possession and protection of other liberties that individuals have this right. Thirdly, in the absence of the first two considerations, the full development of the human individual is vastly more difficult and in most cases not even possible, Fourthly, freedom of expression is essential to the interchange of ideas and views, and discussion of them, without which society cannot be healthy or mature. Fifthly, by means of the fourth point it promotes and aids the quest for truth or at very least sound and responsible knowledge. Sixthly, it is a vital check on government, which can too easily veer into tyranny without it. … the enemy of all that freedom of expression makes possible — the six points, at least, detailed above — is censorship. It comes as a surprise to most people to learn how universal censorship is, even in contemporary Western liberal democracies. … It is ubiquitous and constant. It does vastly more harm than good.

Quote: "Fourthly, freedom of expression is essential to the interchange of ideas and views, and discussion of them, without which society cannot be healthy or mature." I entirely agree, but now I disagree with the next point: "Fifthly, by means of the fourth point it promotes and aids the quest for truth or at very least sound and responsible knowledge." The Arabic world has far more censorship than the European world. And the true main reason is NOT that Arabic governments wish to supress political dissent. Rather, many Arabic journalists, and Arabic readers, have attitudes that undermine the quest for sound and responsible knowledge when placed in an environment of unrestricted free speech. When they hear a story that sounds plausible in light of their presuppositions, they tend to report it as true, without scrutinizing the evidence properly — the writer and the reader, both.
We all make decisions about what is true and false based on our presuppositions, but in some jurisdictions the most widely held standards of evidence, held by the man on the street, are insufficiently rigorous and insufficiently well informed. For example, if there's a common belief that government officials act corruptly in their own self interest, then a news story that reports a particular instance of this will tend to be believed no matter whether the evidence is flimsy. This is why most Arabic countries have strong prohibitions against such stories. Their policy, which I think is sensible, is that if you have evidence of corruption, you should bring it to the anti-corruption prosecutor, not the mass media. That is censorship, you know, but it's with an intent to promote responsible knowledge.
As a different kind of example, Syria has strong censorship against speech that promotes sectarian or religious acrimony. I personally am very strongly opposed to any similar kind of censorship in the educated society of today's Western Europe. My reason is based on trusting people to evaluate the evidence intelligently. But I don't confidently suppose that my reason is applicable to societies that were largely illiterate until a generation or two ago.
[…] have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear from surveillance. As the prolific and challenging AC Grayling argues in his new book Liberty in the Age of Terror: A Defence of Civil Society and Enlightenment […]
[…] by the EUI, Florence, has just published a fascinating article on SSRN on the extent to which the existing rationales for freedom of expression apply […]
Democracy is based on the idea that in a free exchange of ideas, the truth will win out. Speech designed to mislead, misinform, or intimidate is an anathema to our purpose. We are guaranteed a right to free speech and we should use it wisely.
Freedom to speak freely, without limitation or regulation is termed as the Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Expression implies not only the freedom to speak but also to distribute and access of the information through various media modes. Although, Freedom of Expression is recognized in the Human Rights Laws of the inter-American, European and African regions; it has its own form in various regions. Everyone should know his rights and should use them wisely.

Treatment Gaps And Other Disruptions Increased After Maine Medicaid Program Instituted A "Prior Authorization" Requirement For Certain Schizophrenia Drugs
Researchers Say That Findings Should Caution States and Part D Plans Considering Adopting Similar Policies
Bethesda, MD -- Schizophrenia patients in Maine's Medicaid program were subjected to more frequent interruptions in treatment when the state began requiring physicians to seek prior authorization (PA) or follow a step-therapy algorithm before prescribing certain schizophrenia medications not on the program's preferred drug list, researchers report in a Health Affairs Web Exclusive published today. http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/abstract/hlthaff.27.3.w185
Maine's PA policy, which was in effect for eight months in 2003 and 2004 and covered patients newly receiving one of a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics (AAs), increased the number of patients starting on preferred drugs within this class. However, many patients experienced treatment gaps or other treatment disruptions, which suggests that they responded poorly to the preferred drug they were initially prescribed. In the end, the PA policy appeared to do a poor job of lowering Maine's cost of treating patients with schizophrenia, report Stephen Soumerai, a professor in the Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and coauthors. However, the team could not measure the administrative costs of filing PA requests, or the confidential rebates received from manufacturers of preferred drugs.
The researchers say their results raise concerns about the burgeoning number of PA programs for antipsychotic medications: Maine itself introduced a different PA program in 2007 for patients newly starting nonpreferred AAs, and an additional 15 states have implemented PA programs for AAs in recent years. All told, 40 percent of state Medicaid programs, as well as one-third of Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, restrict the prescription of AAs through PA requirements.
As the name implies, PA policies generally allow physicians to prescribe nonpreferred drugs by requesting authorization from the state Medicaid program or other payer. However, as Soumerai and his colleagues point out, "Physicians may tend to switch to prescribing preferred medications because requesting a PA is a time-consuming process, even if they have concerns about the appropriateness of the medication for a specific patient." In addition, patients with chronic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia are likely to be ill-equipped to negotiate administrative barriers such as PAs, the researchers write.
"PA programs may well make sense for drug classes where patients generally have a constant response to most or all members of the class. However, given the tremendous variation in individual responses to different AAs, as well as the devastating impact treatment disruptions can have on schizophrenia patients, a policy that pushes all schizophrenia patients toward a limited number of preferred AAs is likely to do more harm than good. It would be better to focus on ensuring that all AAs are prescribed for evidence-based applications such as treating schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and not for clinically questionable applications such as treating dementia," Soumerai said.
Maine's PA Policy Resulted In More Treatment Discontinuities
Than In Neighboring New Hampshire, But Not Lower Costs
Maine's PA policy was in effect from July 2003 through February 2004, when it was replaced with a provider education policy following numerous case reports of adverse events associated with the PA policy. Soumerai and his colleagues looked at the number of "treatment discontinuities" suffered by patients during the eight months the PA policy was in effect; they compared the experiences of patients who began taking AAs between July 2003 and February 2004, and were thus subject to the PA policy, with the experiences of identically defined patients who began taking the drugs in the previous year.
Patients subject to the PA policy were 29 percent more likely than prepolicy patients to suffer any sort of "treatment discontinuity," a category including not only treatment gaps but also switches from one drug to another and the addition of other drugs to patients' treatment regimens. About two-thirds of discontinuities were gaps in therapy of longer than 30 days, a strong predictor of acute psychotic episodes and hospitalization.
To help determine whether this increase in treatment discontinuities resulted from the implementation of Maine's PA policy, as opposed to other factors, Soumerai and colleagues looked at Medicaid and Medicare records from neighboring New Hampshire, which did not institute such a PA policy while Maine's policy was in effect. In New Hampshire, the researchers found no increase in treatment discontinuities among patients who started taking AAs after July 2003, as compared to patients who began taking the medications after July 2002.
"The fact that treatment discontinuities did not increase in New Hampshire suggests that the increase we saw in Maine really did stem from the PA policy," said Soumerai.
In the eight months Maine's PA policy was in effect, the researchers found a slight leveling of the upward trend in average monthly AA medication cost of $2.33 per patient per month. However, New Hampshire, which again did not institute a PA policy for AAs, experienced an even bigger decrease in cost trends; in the Granite State, per patient per month costs were $3.58 less than would have been predicted from cost trends prior to July 2003.
After the embargo lifts, the article by Soumerai and colleagues will be available online at

Reba Freeman has loved two men in her life. Her current husband, Carl, has supported her through their twenty-year marriage and given her all the material wealth a suburban wife could hope for. Reba is comfortable, if not necessarily content, in her life with Carl and their blossoming teenage daughter, Marisa, until she learns that her first love and first husband, Joseph Thomas, has been detained by the World Court of Human Rights.
Joseph, a peaceful, gifted Liberian student, had dreams of returning to his native land and educating his people for the betterment of his country. Reba respected his strength and wanted to support his cause, but didn't accompany Joseph to Liberia after graduation due to mysterious circumstances. Now, twenty years later, she must decide if finding out what has happened to her first husband is worth the risk of losing Carl and turning her comfortable world inside out.
Alternating between present-day action and a series of flashbacks, "Accident of Birth" creates an intricate tapestry of suspense, drama, and romance, while also looking at the moral and cultural differences between African Americans and Africans. Neff boldly exposes the rift between American comforts and the traumas of the world we choose to ignore, creating a moving and memorable story of courage and hope that readers will talk about for a long time.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Slumdog Millionaire scored the top award from the Producers Guild of America on Saturday, building more momentum for the rags-to-riches drama in the Oscar race for best picture.
The film, a gritty yet heartwarming drama about a game-show contestant from the slums of Mumbai, beat out Milk,The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,The Dark Knight and Frost/Nixon.
Producer Christian Colson was honored with the Darryl F. Zanuck producer of the year award at the ceremony, held at the Hollywood Palladium, the latest Hollywood kudofest in the run-up to the Academy Awards next month.
Slumdog Millionaire swept up four Golden Globe awards earlier this month. Directed by Briton Danny Boyle and starring a cast of unknowns, the film is a leading contender for the Academy Award's best picture. It also snared Oscar nominations for best director and adapted screenplay.
In television, HBO series John Adams snagged the David L. Wolper producer of the year award for long-form TV while AMC's Mad Men took the prize for drama.
Two shows were repeat winners from last year. In the comedy TV category, 30 Rock was honored, while The Colbert Report was lauded in live entertainment/competition TV.
In other categories, Wall-E won in animated motion pictures, Man on Wire in documentaries and CBS' 60 Minutes in nonfiction television.
Career achievement awards were bestowed on producer Brian Grazer, actor/director/producer Ron Howard, actor/producer Michael Douglas and The Sopranos producer David Chase.
The Screen Actors Guild is set to bestow its awards in a televised show Sunday night.

Big Ben Healy is one of the villains of the Problem Child movies. He was played by the late Jack Warden.
Ben's rich and self-serving dad, who hates Junior calling him the devil. In the 1st movie, he runs for mayor while being sports goods dealer. Big Ben Healy also plans to sell his store and land to a Japanense company and not his son. The reason why Big Ben plans to do this is because he thinks and says his son is too nice and good and not evil and ruthless like him.
Later his son, Ben Healy, turns on the camera, which films Big Ben insulting everyone in Cold River and causes him to lose after Big Ben refuses to help him in getting Junior Healy back. In the 2nd movie, Big Ben becomes broke even though he did a commercial, which sold him 1 starter kit and stays with Ben and Junior in Mortville, which Ben and Junior unwillingly both agree to let him stay. Big Ben gets rich again when he marries Lawanda Dumore at the end of the 2nd movie.

'the hare nestled its head between its little forepaws, ears trembling with the thumping of its heartbeat',, 8 Jun. 2012
sally tarbox
This review is from: Year of the Hare, The (Paperback)
'An immature hare was trying its leaps in the middle of the road. Tipsy with summer, it perched on its hind legs, framed by the red sun.'
Moments later it's been hit by a couple of cynical middle-aged men driving past, and thus begins this novel, as one of the men, Vatanen, goes into the forest to find it. He chucks in his stressful city life and in the company of his hare- now tame- travels up through Finland to Lappland.
In short chapters, we follow their adventures; at first these are light and believable- collecting grasses, hanging out in a fishing cabin with a couple of policemen, helping at a fire. But things soon become dark and Kafkaesque and Vatanen himself is not the sunny animal-lover we imagined him as we see in his encounters with the raven and the bear.
I certainly can't agree with other reviewers who said they laughed out loud at the novel. I quite enjoyed it but would love to read an essay on what exactly the author was getting at!
This was a book I picked up on a whim just because it looked interesting. An entertaining picaresque shaggy dog story of a man who takes pity on a young hare injured in a car accident and decides to adopt it, leaving his life as a journalist to embark on a bizarre series of adventures that take him across the forests of northern Finland.
I read this one as part of my effort to read more works by non-U.S. authors. Very unique story, heavy on action but still saying so much about the human condition.

Managing World Terrorism
Managing World Terrorism
Terrorism has existed in all pieces of your planet in the course of heritage. Terrorists have wreaked havoc on an untold variety of harmless individuals. It absolutely was not till September eleven, 2001, though, which the subject of terrorism had attained like a powerful existence inside of the national conscience of your United states, and subsequently the global conscience. Thanks to your United States' superpower status, as terrorism turned the recent button concern in the united states, so it grew to become the hot button all the way through the world. Prices of War scientists at Brown University estimate the costs on the war on terror at four.four trillion. In spite of the huge total of debate and resources which were poured in the work to manage and prevent intercontinental terrorism, terrorists carry on to acquire harmless lives over a every day basis. Terrorism is really an unconventional enemy. If you want to defeat it, unconventional options will need to be second hand. The systems needed to avoid terrorism are economic and political in nature, other than militaristic. A technique that concentrates on financial and political coverage will remedy the illness of terrorism instead of dealing with the signs or symptoms with military initiatives.
Methods to stop terrorism really should take under consideration the fact that there is certainly selected political climates wherein terrorism appears to flourish. The usa has produced a habit of interfering with authoritarian regimes. Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan are among the newest. Inside of a paper entitled "Poverty, Political Independence, and then the Roots of Terrorism," Alberto Abadie concluded that there is an "observed rise in terrorism for nations in transition from authoritarian regimes to democracies." What Abadie's conclusions reveal has become the primary issues causing terrorism is a new job belonging to the U . s . as being the world's law enforcement power. This stage is barely hindsight for that present position in the Center East. Regimes have previously been toppled and one thing has to consider keep within their area, nevertheless the outcomes of interference ought to be meticulously considered from the future. Undoubtedly, the U.S. won't be able to stand by though authoritarian regimes perpetrate gross injustices on their very own visitors, yet American authorities needs to carefully weigh these conclusions and recognize that political unrest all too often leads to terrorism. Terrorism is a virus which reproduces seemingly endlessly, particularly in regions of political unrest, so it has to be minimize off at the source. Armed forces strikes by them selves tend to be the equivalent my-gpa-calculator.org/how-to-calculate-gpa to taking part in a rarely ending recreation of whack-a-mole. Terrorists don't need substantial armed forces installations or supply traces that could be focused similar to a common opponent. All they absolutely need is moolah and folks. How they transfer funds may very well be stunning. In his book, Unfunding Terror: the Legal Reaction on the Financing of global Terrorism, Jimmy Gurul states, "Contrary to well-known perception, terrorists use banking companies as well as other monetary establishments to transfer resources." Gurul goes on to discuss the various benefits presented towards terrorists because of solutions this sort of as wire transfer. Efforts are increasingly being crafted to stem the movement of cash among terrorist corporations, nonetheless it must be the main stage of emphasis. Irrespective of how scores of terrorists are killed, there'll forever be a further soldier to just take his destination given that these corporations have funds. Outside of just to be used to purchase attacks, terrorists use much in their funding to distribute their evil message and recruit new troopers. Assuming that they even now have access to dough, terrorists will undoubtedly be ready to continue their mission. Preventing terror fully is most likely not a sensible end goal. There will at all times be evil people worldwide, and there will continually be young, impressionable minds for people human beings to indoctrinate. Controlling terror is often a significantly more simple aim. This may be achieved by primary becoming gurus on terrorism. It is not an enemy that can be identified of a lineup. Terrorism has some a variety of faces. Seeking to label it and put it inside of a box is counterproductive. Understanding just where and when it really is most definitely to occur facilitates preventative steps to become set set up before it's an opportunity to proliferate. On the very same token, the point that terrorism has lots of assorted faces would mean that preventative steps absolutely need to be unconventional and progressive. Conventional practices haven't any spot in opposition to an enemy that operates without having boundaries.

Even when I was twelve, I was a readily wiki helper and I helped the wiki grow a bit. I was globally blocked and there was nothing I could do about it. Im back and all but im not as a quick learner as before. I changed a lot now and I reread my former blog posts and I had some good times back then. I need some help to go back to my eager to help state. Beware, I can be a bit angered and pissed off at times but I will try to maintain my anger to a low level. If some admins and users who prieviously knew me, DON'T give me rollback or any positions like those as I am not currently ready. Also, I like to thank the users who contributed to the Record Holder when I was gone for like forever. I'd like to get help from all users and all. I wouldn't mind helping on minor projects if the admins need help, though i am unreliable on photo contributing. So Hello Wiki. And Hello MVZMW and Minh and other users i knew, IM BACK!!!

Third Era of Humanity
2445 - The slowship Victoria, headed toward a certain star in the vicinity of Earth, strays from its course due to an unpredictable gravity well in deep space (probably a black hole). It never arrives at its target.
2477 - Australia is engaged in war with New-Zealand. Australian troups are under constant attacks and sabotage acts from New-Zealand guerilla fighters. The Australian population is still in favour of occupation.
2506 - First practical Megawave communicators are perfected. Although still bulky and innefficient, they are capable of transmitting for a distance of 26 light years.
2528 - The first extrasolar colonies begin to recieve, operate and even construct their own Megawave transmitters (that can by now transmit hundreds of light years away).
2700s - The extrasolar colonies are already fairly self-sufficient, capable of reliably recycling and producing everything they need for survival. Some of the stronger colonies even build their own Orion, and later Sleeper ships. Primitive trading networks begin to develop.
3000 - Dire tensions between the United States of America and Unified Glorious Republic of Korea lead to a limited nuclear exhange, with an estimated deathtoll of 3 million on both sides, almost exclusively civilians.
Later in the same year a party of neo-Nazi like ideology, using the political momentum given by the earlier nuclear exchange, illegaly seizes power within the USA and topples this more than a millenium old democracy. The US, under its new brutal leadership, starts to agressively promote racism throughtout the world. Due to the political climate, they find many sympathizers. It wasn't long until most of the countries on the planet's surface were under their direct or indirect control, either through intimidation, willful cooperation and sympathy, or simply conquest.
3002 - After a period of consolidation, a single unified Earth government is declared. All the colonies are supposed to be under its control, and the closer ones, within the solar system, are indeed that way. However, the extrasolar colonies have other plans.
Within a month of the declaration, the colony planet Napoleon proposes a treaty that is signed between half a dozen different colonies. This treaty of mutual self-defense establishes the General Planetary Alliance, to oppose the evil that is the Terran government, the Regime.
3005 - By this time, dozens of colonies, realizing the ideological threat posed by the Regime, have signed the Alliance treaty. At this time the treaty achieves very little except perhaps increasing trade between its members, mostly due to the unsormountable difficulties of waging strategic war at slower-than-light speeds.
The Regime and the Alliance are effectively in a state of cold war with each other.
3128 - The slowship Victoria and her 10,000 passengers arrive at a very, very distant planet, far away from most other colonies and completely different from their original target. The passangers quickly discover that the system is just barely fit for colonization, with a single solid planet to settle upon, and even that planet is so harsh that it could put Mercury to shame. The captain of the Victoria dubs the planet Smeegole, and the system - Gondor, in honour of the classical masterpiece Lord of the Rings. The colonists, some of them hailing from Pluto and Mercury and thus experienced at working in hellish environments, begin the difficult job of colonization.
3222 - A breakthrough in the understanding of physics allows Regime scientists to begin planning of the first FTL drives - devices that will allow a ship to reach and exceed the speed of light.
3251 February 5th - The asteroid-ship RSC Unsurmountable is christened. The "ship" is carved from a 28 kilometer long asteriod, on which a humongous set of conventional Fusion engines, as well as the new Pollard-drive (FTL drive), also suitably humongous, are mounted.
3252 - The combined military/police arm of the Regime, the Solar Authority, has by now very strong influence. The General in command of the Solar Authority has gained a formidable amount of political power, and with the implementation of the Pollard drive he is eager to use it against Alliance targets, and by this heat up this old cold war. The Chief in command of the entire Regime, however, was reluctant to attack the Alliance and break the relatively convenient existance they had for a long time. He felt that the Solar Authority and the smaller military organizations surrounding it and subservient to it are occupied enough as it is, quelling repeated rebellions of the few remaining African, Asian, Jewish populations.
August 11th - The situation explodes. A small war of a bunch of Regime loyalist vs the huge Solar Authority organization erupts, the battles lasting merely 3 days. This event inevitably leads to a shift in power (duh!) - the aforementioned general has now an entire star system to play with.
August 14th - The Regime now resting firmly in his corrupted hands, the general renames it the Solar Imperium. At the same day the former RSC, now SIS Unsurmountable heads towards the Alpha Centauri colony.
August 21st - The SIS Unsurmountable reaches the small defenseless Alpha Centauri. It doesn't even need to deploy its fleet of battleships and smaller warships that sit in its tremendous bays, the colony surrenders unconditionally.
August-November - More huge asteroid-ships are built and sent outwards at a speed 200 times faster than light. More and more colonies are conquered, the first to put up resistance being Chispa. Chispa is still conquered with relatively little effort, and used as a beachead for further incursions. The Alliance, now counting 98 member colonies, is helpless.
3253 - The General Planetary Alliance has finally got their hands on schematics for the Pollard drive, and is working vigorously to close the huge gap between themselves and the Imperium. Also, the Alliance draws closer together, strengthens the relationships between its member planets, and starts to form unified bodies to direct their militaries in an efficient manner against the imminent threat posed by the Imperium. These means, although seemingly extensive, do little to actually stop the Imperium's rampage.
The planets on the very front of the war with the Imperium are unhappy with the Alliance's flimsy attempts at retribution. They form their own little pact-within-pact, the Sovereign Union.
3255 - The Imperium, having absorbed many planets, is beginning to strain its resources. The fact that the Alliance has been steadily growing larger due to a mad colonization dash during the years of the war doesn't help. Because most of the Imperial armed forces are away from the solar system, this opportunity is not missed by the many, many opressed people that take that chance to stage another rebellion the likes of which was never seen before, and which were fuelled, both morally (inciting, moral support, etc.) and physically (smuggled weapons) by the Alliance. The Imperium is thus forced to deal with these internal problems and at least temporarily abolish its expansionist ambitions. During this vulnerable stage the Alliance could have made an attack, but the people were tired of war and jumped on this opportunity for peace. The Sovereign Union dared not to attack the Imperium without Alliance support, and so the three powers remained in an unresolved status quo that would last for more than a millenium and a half.

Well, if you had ANY remote liking of either SquareSoft games OR the RPG genre, BUY THIS! NOW! WHY ARE YOU STILL READING? Go to Best Buy or Toys R Us or open another window and order it online!
Well since you ARE still reading...
Well this is what it all boils down to. It's great. Fighting is unique, hard to explain and based on a ''stamina point'' system. You use different types of attacks varying in strength. You also cast GORGEOUS spells known as ''elements'' which you can purchase or find from monsters. They are permanent items unless you sell them or they are special ones known as ''consumables''. As you use elements it leaves residues of them on the field creating a ''field effect'' shown by a meter in the top left corner. The more of the same element you use, the better it becomes for that battle.
If only it had that Vagrant Story-Forging type system. It does have a forging system which is pretty good, but it's not to my liking.
I am starting to not like analog for some reason. It makes it hard to control when selecting on menus.
Battle Sequences:
That system sure is unique
World Map Movement:
Good control, good map design.
MILLIONS of secrets. There are 44 different playable characters all leading to different endings
Not really that hard.
Difficulty: (1 easiest, 100 hardest):
You CAN'T get past a certain amount of stats unless you beat certain bosses, eliminating the EXP system. Makes it a bit harder, but it's an RPG, which automatically proves it to be not that hard.
The game focuses about 20 years (from what I hear from other sources, there is no time in the game that they say it's 20 years) after Chrono Trigger, the fabulous rpg for SNES. Now I know what you're thinking. Squaresoft-FinalFantasy, and FF sequels have NOTHING to do with each other. Well Crono Cross does have ALOT to do with it's predecessor -- GASP .
You are Serge, a young lad (age 7) who lives in a small town of Arni. He was doing his normal errands (you know, classic RPG stuff. Fighting some strange monsters that only Square can come up with, helping out some girl in the village) when all of a sudden he got thrown into an alternate reality. It really hits the fan now.
Nice. a little drop in the framerate though at some points
Quality squaresoft stuff.
Sound FX:
Nice ambient environment sounds.
I hate the fighting background music.
Battle attacks:
Gosh they are pretty.
Spells sequences:
These are even prettier than the battle attacks
Camera angles:
It's basically a fixed position through most of the world-map and it changes like FF style through the parts of areas.
You can't put it down. Period. Even after you beat it, guess what. You can start over with ALL YOUR OLD STATS and do different endings! This adds infinite replayability for us RPG die-hards.
As I said before. If you even REMOTELY like RPGs, go buy this game.

What kind of sunscreen is best for toddler
We prefer to use an eco-friendly or organic sunscreen. http://www.EWG.org (Environmental Working Group) is a site that you can look up ingredients, as well as plug in brand name products to see where they rate in relation to safety. It will also tell you a bit about the ingredients and if they are cancer causing etc. This is where I recommend you start in your search for the best sunscreen for your toddler.

Nepal is home to a variety of bird species thanks to its specific geography. There are only few other places in the world where the elevation rises from 60m over sea level to more than 7000m so quickly!
Farwest Nepal hosts several bird habitats which you find listed below. Most of them are declared as Important Bird Areas by the organization Bird Conservation Nepal (BCN). Ranging from jungle and wetlands in the Terai up to the mountainous region, they are definitely the right place for bird lovers. Together, they are home to more than 500 bird species! Do not forget your Binoculars and look forward to an exciting experience.
Birds of Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve
There are more than 420 bird species representing 15 Orders and 57 bird Families found. This bird diversity is unique in itself. There are 19 globally threatened species that occur here. The Reserve has the largest population of Bengal florican in Nepal. The Reserve is a home for several rare and threatened grassland bird species such as the swamp francolin, grass owl, and Hodgson's buschchat.
Birds of Khaptad National Park
Khaptad National Park is an isolated massif with the highest point at 3300m. The park is a home for 226 bird species among the common are impeyan phesant (also known as danphe, Nepal's national bird), and many types of partridges, flycatchers, bulbuls, cuckoos and eagles.
Birds of Ghodagodhi Lake
The Ghodaghodi Lake complex in Kailali district is made up of 14 lakes including the largest lake in Nepal's Terai. The area is of importance as it represents one of the last intact networks of marshes, swamps and lakes in Far Western Terai. This ecosystem provides important habitats for many water birds.
Birds of Mohana River Corridor
Two km west of Dhangadhi city lies the Mohana River Corridor, a habitat of 110 species of birds (resident and migratory).
Vulture Restaurants
South Asia's Vultures are on the brink of extinction. There has been a decline of 99% in the vulture population in the last 20 years caused by a contamination of the vultures' food with the veterinary drug diclofenac. To reverse this effect, Vulture Safe Feeding Sites (or Vulture Restaurants) have been established. Here, you can learn more about vulture conservation and see these critically endangered birds in the wild.
Locations of the Vulture Restaurants in Far- and Midwest:
Khutya, Kailali. This site lies on the bank of the Khutiya River (located between Bardia National Park and Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve, not far from Attariya, 13 km from Dhangadhi)
Lalmatiya, Dang. This site is situated in Kalika Community Forest. (from Butwal, it is 103 km west to Lalmatiya, Dang District)
Bijauri, Dang. This site is situated at Syalapani in Bhulke CF, Dang District. It is not far from Tulsipur, Dang. (41km from north from Lamahi, Dang, on the East-West Highway)

dope band, gonna be a hot show at glasslands.
Great band, great venue... great reason to stop hibernating. Don't sleep on this one.
So excited!
I LOVE Tuelo! Gaaaaah!
I was at the sold out show at SubCulture for the Album release and it was AMAZING! This album has been on repeat and I can so glad they are playing again so soon. I highly recommend you go and take your friends. Buy tickets ahead of time as I bet this sells out again...
Caught them last Fall in Brooklyn at the Antibalas show. One of those bands you know will blow-up so am glad to see them again in such a small setting before they go big.
Can't wait for this!
Amazing powerful, soulful, Talented singer Tuelo worth checking out with band the cousins.
Me and my girlfriends saw them open for Antibalas and they were sooo great! I can not wait to get the album. There is so much great stuff in their set! I hope they play some of the bigger festivals around the area this summer. The songs are awsome summer jams.
Tuelo is AMAZING! I saw them open for Antibalas last year in Brooklyn - can't wait for another dance party!
They put on a sick show at Lincoln Center last weekend so I can only imagine what is in store for Subculture.

USA TODAY will offer coverage of the Bowl Championship Series title game from the Gannett newspapers that are following the respective teams. An excerpt from Sunday's Salem (Ore.) Statesman Journal:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — When members of the Oregon marching band arrived Saturday, they didn't receive red-carpet treatment. They flew in on a charter flight, but there wasn't a large crowd waiting to greet them at the airport.
After checking into their hotel, they loaded four motor coaches and hurried to a local high school to rehearse for nearly five hours.
Being on the national championship stage is just as important to these 220 Oregon students as it is to the university's football players, and they are just as serious about their pregame preparations.
"They all know the team brought us here, and now they want to live up to it," said Eric Wiltshire, director of athletic bands at Oregon.
The local contingent is excited about the opportunity to perform live during the national title game Monday between the Ducks and the Auburn Tigers. They will get five and a half minutes during pregame and seven minutes during halftime. Auburn's marching band, nearly twice the size of Oregon's, is allotted the same.
Neither team gets to rehearse on the field at University of Phoenix Stadium, because bowl officials are preserving the field so it will look good on national TV.
"The first time they will see it is when they walk in before pregame," Wiltshire said.
To help them prepare, the field they rehearsed on Saturday was painted with the same markings as the field they will be marching on Monday, but not quite so pretty. The markings actually looked like they were done in Auburn colors, blue and orange.

We've just received advance copies of the November/December issue of the Magazine, with one of the more luscious covers Lolly Robinson has designed for us. (Speaking of Lolly, who designs every page of the Magazine and the Guide: she is the curator for "Beatrix Potter in America," an exhibition of original art, paintings, sketches, letters, and first editions appearing at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art through December 4th.)
Appearing in this issue is an article by Jon Scieszka, "What's So Funny, Mr. Scieszka?" based on his Zena Sutherland Lecture, which he delivered last May in Chicago. Along with publishing the acceptance speeches for ALA's Newbery, Caldecott, and Wilder Awards (in every July-August issue), and those for the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards (every January-February issue), the Horn Book frequently publishes articles that first saw light on a podium. While the award speeches are published virtually verbatim, all others are subjected to the necessary and sometimes full-on transformation from oral speech to written article--what works for the one frequently falls flat in the other. So: if you do have a speech you think might make good reading for the Horn Book, make sure it graces the page with the same eloquence it had from the microphone. To reproduce comic timing, for example, is really hard--Jon lost a couple of his jokes. And you can't let italics do all the inflecting.

Allergy to Oatmeal Skin Moisturizers

Various over-the-counter moisturizers, particularly Aveeno products, contain oat proteins typically referred to as colloidal (finely milled) oatmeal. According to various studies, oats are useful for treating skin inflammation, helping the skin retain moisture, and soothing the skin. However, for people allergic to oats, skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema) and contact dermatitis actually worsen with the use of oat-containing moisturizers.

A study published in 2007 assessed the rate of allergy to oats in children with atopic dermatitis. It found that nearly 20% of children had reactions on skin tests to oat proteins, and over 15% of these children experienced allergic reactions after eating oats. In addition, patch testing showed reactions to oat in 32% of children who used oat-containing moisturizers (and nearly 50% of children less than 2 years of age). Patch testing showed no reactions to oat in children who did not use oat-based moisturizers.

While colloidal oatmeal-containing moisturizers have been shown to help in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, some people (particularly children under 2 years of age) may be allergic to oats. Parents should be cautious when using these products for children with atopic dermatitis, especially for infants and toddlers. If you're concerned that your child may be allergic to oats, or if his or her skin condition seems to be worsening despite the use of an oat-based moisturizer, you may want to see your doctor.
