Verizon Communications recently announced a restructuring plan that combines the company's two wireline groups, Verizon Telecom and Verizon Business, into a single entity called Verizon Wireline.
Verizon Chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg said the simplified structure would enable the company to capitalize on new avenues of growth and increase productivity.
Verizon said the restructuring would also move marketing execution closer to customer-facing operations, while retaining the benefits of centralized management of key marketing issues. The wireline and wireless organizations will continue to be fully supported by the Verizon Services Operations (VSO) shared resources group.
"Our focus is on simplifying our organization with the objective of increasing speed to market, accelerating our growth trajectory and quickly reducing our costs in the process," said Seidenberg.
The new structure followed the announcement of COO Dennis Strigl's intended retirement.
As a result of the realignment, the two customer-facing business groups report directly to Seidenberg, as do Verizon's shared services operation, chief information officer, chief technology officer and corporate staff functions.
In the new organization, the following changes were effective immediately:
- Lowell McAdam, president and CEO of Verizon Wireless, continues in that role, reporting to Seidenberg. McAdam is responsible for Verizon's wireless operations, with more than 87 million customers.
- Daniel Mead, who was president of Verizon Telecom, became chief operating officer of Verizon Wireless, replacing Jack Plating, who announced his retirement on Oct. 2 after 34 years in the communications industry. Mead will report to McAdam.
- John Stratton, who was chief marketing officer for Verizon, is now chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless, also reporting to McAdam.
- Fran Shammo, who was president of Verizon Business, has been named president of Verizon's realigned wireline operations, reporting to Seidenberg. These operations encompass Verizon Telecom, Verizon Business and Verizon Partner Solutions, serving wholesale customers.
On Monday, Verizon announced it was bringing its FiOS TV service to central New York, which is currently served by Time Warner Cable. Verizon is now offering video service to customers in eight communities in the Syracuse area. Seven of the communities are in Onondaga County, while the other is in nearby Cayuga County.
Today, Verizon announced it had been granted a franchise agreement in Billerica, Mass. With the most recent franchise agreement, Verizon has 101 communities in Massachusetts where FiOS TV is currently available, or will be soon, the company said.

A celebration of the influence of water in art is close to ending. "Rhythms & Blues," a gallery show, at the St. Croix Galleries at ArtReach St. Croix in Stillwater ends on Oct. 13.
Visitors still have a chance view the works by Pat Casanova, Nicole Roberts Hoiland, Anne Labovitz and Jeff Ross. The diversity of the works of the four artists demonstrates the vast influence water — its movement, colors and dynamics – have on artists.
Stillwater photographer Ross has captured the moods of the Oregon coast in his images, while Hudson glass artist Casanova uses color and movement to mimic the river in pieces from his "The River Runs Through It" series. The sculptures by Roberts Hoiland and the layered acrylic emulsions of Lobovitz capture moments of movement and colors brought on by water.
A coffee social is 9:30 a.m. Saturday with Jeff Ross. Additionally, the gallery will be open during normal gallery hours for the last week of the show. St. Croix Galleries hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. The St. Croix Galleries are located at ArtReach St. Croix, 224 4th St. North in Stillwater.
ArtReach St. Croix's mission of connecting communities to the arts serves the St. Croix Valley from St. Croix Falls to Prescott in Wisconsin and from Hastings to Taylor's Falls in Minnesota.
ArtReach St. Croix supports, fosters and celebrates visual, literary and performing arts in the St. Croix Valley. By coordinating events, marketing initiatives and education opportunities, ArtReach supports the work of artists and arts organizations, and provides arts leadership across the St. Croix Valley.

In the third quarter of 2012, the amended Environmental Impact Assessment Act ("EIAA") was implemented. After the enactment, environmental impact assessments are no longer governed by both the Framework Act on Environmental Policy and the EIAA, thus, eliminating a great deal of confusion caused by inconsistencies in the acts.
Major revisions include:
1. Implementation of Strategic Environmental Impact Assessments and Small-Scale Environmental Impact Assessment over Prior Environmental Review under Framework Act on Environmental Policy
The EIAA has abandoned the use of Prior Environmental Review under the Framework Act on Environmental Policy in favor of the often more clear and consistent Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment ("SEIA") and Small-Scale Environmental Impact Assessment. However, projects approved before implementation of the EIAA will still be governed by the Prior Environmental Review under the prior act.
The impact of this change is becoming known and it seems like the majority of the proposed "high-level" administrative plans will be governed by the SEIA and not the Prior Environmental Review.
2. Public Opinion
Public Opinions must be accepted at the SEIA stage in order to increase the perception of transparency. If requested by residents, public hearings must be held and a report must be published noting if the opinions of public was reflected in the project.
3. Environmental Impact Evaluators Certified through National Examination
Prior to the EIAA, only those with specific technical backgrounds were qualified to be Environmental Impact Evaluators. The specific technical backgrounds tended to be too narrow, thus, overlooking many necessary experts. The EIAA mandates that a National Examination should be held to qualify Environmental Impact Evaluators. The first test will be held in the second half of 2013. Environmental Impact Statements will, only, officially, be able to be prepared by those that pass this examination.
We will have to see if those that pass these tests are actually more qualified than the prior Environmental Impact Evaluators that were often criticized for lacking in their ability to adequately evaluate more technical projects.

it's been a while since i've posted one of these – just images of what is inspiring me at the moment.
currently it's anything michel ocelot.
but more specifically, azur et asmar, a 2006 film by him.
first fell in love with his princes et princesses film in austin, and then kirikou in france, and now azur et asmar in dallas.
aside from the fact that i love fables and fairytales, i just love his visual style.
even the pastries don't escape my eye.
this is my summer: lots of movie watching and book reading.
because of this film, i want to read one thousand and one nights.
running out of words, so i'll just let the rest of the images speak for themselves. hope you are having a nice saturday!

A city with palaces alongside business towers, royal gardens in view of shopping districts, and historical landmarks as public transportation hubs, Moscow is truly a city unlike any other. More than eight centuries of history have shaped this metropolis into the bustling, populous, vibrant destination it is today. The prominent combination of the past and the future make Moscow one of the greatest cities on Earth. The first reference to Moscow was made by Yuri Dolgorukiy in 1147, nine years before the first wall of the city was erected. Moscow grew and developed over the next few centuries and in 1327 took on the title of...Read MoreView train stations in Moscow
Vladimir is over 1000 years old and was founded in 1108 by Vladimir Monomakh. There is an alternative version that ascribes the foundation of the city to Vladimir the Red Sun in 990. Yet the exact year does not seem to be very important for the average traveler, since the oldest existing monuments date back only to the middle of 12th century. At that period, the city was rapidly developing due to the activity of Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky who established the capital of North-Eastern Russia in Vladimir. The city's period of greatest importance was probably in the late 12th and early 13th century, up to the Mongol...Read MoreView train stations in Vladimir

Alessandro Zanardi's F1 career came in two parts. The first, with a Lotus team that was very much on its last legs, lasted from 1992-4 and yielded very little.
In 1993 he suffered a shocking accident at Spa-Francorchamps when his active suspension system failed and was unable to participate in the rest of the season. His seat was taken by Pedro Lamy, and when Lamy himself was injured at Silverstone in testing the following year Zanardi got his seat back.
He moved to Champ Cars and won the 1997 and 1998 titles for Chip Ganassi Racing, before returning to Formula One in a high-profile deal with Williams for 1999. But he struggled with the grooved-tyre, narrow-track cars and cut short his two-year contract at the end of just one season.
He returned to Champ Car racing but disaster struck in 2001 at the Lausitzring, when he spun while returning to the track and was struck almost head on by Alex Tagliani.
The horrifying accident robbed him of both his legs. But, following a tremendous recovery, he returned to racing in the World Touring Car Championship in a specially modified BMW.
He now competes in paralympic athletic events and marathons.

Antiseptic silver helps to prevent infection
Elastoplast Antibacterial Waterproof plasters have a woundpad containing antiseptic silver to help prevent infections.
The waterproof plasters are suitable for covering all types of smaller wounds.
The plasters are available as strips which seal all around the wound.
How to use
STEP 1 - Clean the wound and gently wipe away any foreign objects such as dirt or grit.
STEP 2 - Dry the skin around the cut or graze very carefully.
STEP 3 - Apply plaster without stretching and avoiding creases.
Use each plaster only once.
1. Why would I use a bandage with a silver wound pad instead of a regular bandage?
The use of silver has one big advantage: it reduces the risk of infection from the very beginning. Wound infections are the major cause of wound healing disturbances. And wound infections are not rare - up to 50% of acute wounds become infected! With a silver wound pad, you do the very best to prevent infection from occurring.
2. Is there proof that silver works?
Yes, there is. Silver has been used in hospitals for years.
Many clinical studies demonstrate the benefits of silver.
3. What kind of germs does silver kill?
Silver is a clinically proven, broad spectrum antimicrobial agent.
It kills nearly all relevant bacteria and fungi.
4. Is Elastoplast with Silver Technology safe to use on children?
Yes, it is. Unlike many other antiseptics, silver is very skin-friendly. Resistance to silver is extremely rare.
5. I have diabetes, can I use Elastoplast with Silver Technology?
Actually, Elastoplast with Silver Technology might be especially beneficial for you!
Diabetics are more often affected by wound healing problems. Wounds take longer to heal and have a higher risk of infection. Silver as an effective and clinically established antiseptic ingredient reduces the risk of infection from the very beginning. For optimal wound healing, we recommend Elastoplast with Silver Technology plasters, that contain antiseptic silver that is released as soon as the silver ions come into contact with the wound fluid. Furthermore, all Elastoplast with Silver Technology plasters grant excellent skin compatibility.
6. What is silver allergy?
Silvers allergenic potential is very low. There exist only a few recorded cases of allergy in people who have been in constant contact with high concentrations of silver for example silversmiths or silver miners. Most people who believe they have a silver allergy actually have an allergic reaction to nickel, because silver used for jewelry often contains nickel. Standardized testing confirmed that the Elastoplast with Silver Technology line is skin-friendly.
7. Is it necessary to use antiseptics/creams/ointments in combination with Elastoplast with Silver Technology products?
No, it isnt. Elastoplast with Silver Technology plasters contain antiseptic effective silver that is released as soon as the silver ions come into contact with the wound fluid. Therefore, pre-treatment of wounds is not necessary. Using ointments and creams may actually decrease antimicrobial activity.
8. How often should I change my plaster?
Usually, it is recommended to change Standard First Aid Dressings daily due to hygienic reasons.
9. Is it better to let small wounds dry at the fresh air instead of putting on a plaster?
It is one of the wound care myths that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered and let air to them helps them to heal faster. The contrary is true! Research shows that covered wounds heal more efficiently and have a reduced risk of infection. Elastoplast products provide protection until the wound is completely healed.

Tiki Bombers are similar to Tiki Torches. The difference is that they only have two horns on each side and burn a blue flame. Unlike Tiki Torches, they keep their mouth closed and only open it to attack. However, like Tiki Torches, they have a pair of rather flimsy arms that are slightly disguised by its flames. Finally, they also have fairly blunt teeth, which is unusual for a member of the Tiki Tak Tribe. They shoot fire by opening and closing their mouth. They shoot blue fireballs out on each side, which makes it difficult to blow and put out their flame. But once that is done, they can be defeated by jumping on them or rolling into them.
- There is another type of Tiki Bomber that tosses bombs into the air so that they land back down on the player; however, they still look the same, but are painted red instead of blue:

Custom caps are one of InkHead's most popular product categories. Promotional apparel in general is consistently one of our most popular categories, and hats are one of the highest-selling items in the apparel category.
Caps are popular because they are such effective promotional tools: your brand will get seen hundreds of times each month with just one cap. Multiply that by the number of caps you purchase, and your brand will gain tremendous exposure with just a single order of promotional caps.
What's more, hats are versatile giveaways. Caps are ideal for both employee appreciation events and customer giveaways. A cap with the school's logo can be worn by teachers and students alike. Buying caps for your booster club? Great idea. Both donors and beneficiaries can wear them!
Finally, caps provide persistent impressions over time. Because people wear caps often and keep them for years, imprinted or embroidered caps are a great idea as part of your long-term promotional strategy.
Next, we'll consider when to use caps before discussing things to remember when buying personalized caps.
Panels: InkHead sells 5-panel and 6-panel caps. A 5-panel cap features a flat front panel reinforced with buckram, a stiff cotton that stiffens the panel and gives it a higher profile but an unbroken imprint area ideal for silkscreening images. A 6-panel cap has a seam that runs down the center of the forehead, which gives the cap a more relaxed fit and lower profile.
Imprint method: When it comes to customizing caps, the question is to stitch or not to stitch—i.e., to embroider your logo or to screenprint it onto the cap. Both silk-screen and embroidery are available for many of our caps, so be sure to check the item description to determine which method is used by default.
Types: When shopping InkHead's selection of caps, you will see that our caps have been divided into four sub-categories.
Brands: InkHead carries a handful of retail name brands for custom caps, including Adidas, New Era, and Nike. If you wish to shop by brand, use the Brand filter located on the left side of your screen when browsing our personalized caps.
Made in USA: Want to buy American? Be sure to peruse our Made in the USA caps or use the Made In filter when browsing the caps in our online catalog.
Price: End-quantity pricing for most of our caps falls between $6 and $10. Planning to use the caps for a customer giveaway? We have budget-friendly options available for less than $5 each. If you need caps for an appreciation or employee thank-you event, we have several high-end caps available for sale as well. If you are trying to stay within a certain price per unit, make sure to employ our Price filter on the left-hand side of your screen while you're browsing our custom caps.
Materials: Caps come in many materials, from breathable brushed cotton twill to light wool (the preferred material of MLB) to moisture-wicking polyester, usually with cotton inner sweatbands to catch and keep sweat off the wearer's face and grommets for ventilation. A very popular option is the mesh cap, also known as a "trucker's cap," which features a polyester front panel and ventilating nylon mesh for the rest of the crown. Looking for a specific material? Make sure to use the Material filter to drill down by specific cap materials.
Sizing: Most adjustable caps are one size fits most. If you have a concern over whether the hat you're considering will fit all of your recipients, make sure to request a sample beforehand.
Quantity: While some of our higher-end caps have required minimums as low as 5 pieces, and the ultra-budget models require as many as 200 pieces, most of our caps have minimum quantities between 48 and 72 pieces.
Production Time: Although actual production time will vary based on the quantity ordered and decoration method, standard production time for most caps is 10 days. If you need your caps in less time, make sure to opt for rush production and include your required delivery date. We will make every effort to accommodate your request.

Britney Spears and the British comedian continue their venture even after the camera stops rolling.
Britney Spears is struck with on-set romance after she is reportedly falling for Russell Brand who did a promotional video with her for this year's MTV Video Music Awards. Words on the block, Brand dumps his actress girlfriend Teresa Palmer to be with Spears.
Sources claimed to have seen the two having an intimate dinner at Little Red Door in Hollywood on Friday, September 12. They arrived and left the restaurant separately to avoid paparazzi from taking snaps.
No confirmation has been dug out this, but Brand had made it clear that he is "footloose and fancy free" after ending his three months relationship with Palmer earlier this month. Ironically, a couple of months ago, Brand said publicly that Palmer had fulfilled his sexual appetite and made him a "changed man".
Brand, a British comedian, was signed to host the MTV Video Music Awards and is tipped to return for the role next year. Britney, won big at the September 7 event, taking home three statuettes for her video of "Piece of Me".

Part of the Women Over 50: Take Control of Your Money Special Report
Americans confront a wide array of products in today's financial marketplace. There are credit and debit cards, bank and brokerage products, saving and investment options, insurance policies and pension plans, not to mention IRAs and 401(k)s. Choosing the right options and managing them well requires economic savvy. Yet a great many Americans — especially those over 50 —know precious little about money matters, according to research about financial illiteracy that my colleagues and I have conducted.
A landmark study about money, interest rates and personal finance in 2005 sought to determine, among other things, an average financial literacy grade for American adults. It gave them a C. White adults scored higher than their black and Hispanic peers, and women tested lower than men.
More recently, in a 2011 study of people over 50 who are not yet retired, only half of those surveyed could correctly answer two simple questions about compound interest and inflation. Only one-third of the respondents gave correct answers to both of those questions and a third question about risk diversification.
Although surveys have shown that men are more likely than women to know the financial facts of life, they are often overconfident: Men tend to say they are "very confident" about their answers even when those answers are incorrect. By contrast, women are more likely to indicate that they don't know an answer, which suggests that they may be more teachable.
The problem is especially acute in a weak economy, with families losing their homes and livelihoods. Moreover, when people make poor financial decisions, the costs are often passed on to others, as it means higher spending by the government. For this reason, financial illiteracy is a broad social problem that harms not only vulnerable individuals, but every rung of the workforce.

text: Lith 429 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Hey. I want to preface this topic with a statement: I'm an engineer first, composer second I'm relatively new to composing music, especially for games. I was hoping I could get some criticism on a song I produced, specifically in terms of structure and production quality. I do play piano and have an intermediate knowledge of music theory that I draw on, so I guess i'm not a complete beginner. I can make stuff that sounds nice at least. Here's a link to the song on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0VOVJx7YEA Here's a direct link to the file *snip* It was originally ment to be a background track but I think (IMO) that the melody is quite strong and iconic so it could be better suited to be the main theme tune? I had some trouble coming up with the overarching structure. I wanted to really get the melody engraved into the listeners brain but not in an annoying way. The result is a structure something like this: Hook -> Breakdown 1 -> Hook -> Breakdown 2 -> Hook The two breakdown sections ended up not being similar at all. I'm not really sure if this is a good thing or not. From my little experience producing music, I've found that I always end up making tracks that are quiet and then I boost the volume later as best I can with no clipping. Not sure how well of a job I did on that. I think all the parts don't collide and you can hear everything? Any feedback is appriceiated. Thanks.

Brussels (AP) - NATO's operational commander is warning forces attacking civilians in Libya that they would be "ill-advised" to continue such activities.
Lt. Gen Charles Bouchard, a Canadian now heading the international operation, says the transition of command from the U.S. had been "seamless with no gaps."
Bouchard briefed reporters from his command center near Naples on Thursday, his first day as commander of the international operation.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story is below.
Brussels (AP) - NATO's chief said Thursday the alliance doesn't support U.S. and British suggestions that the U.N. mandate for the international military operation in Libya allows arming rebels who are fighting Moammar Gadhafi's troops.
NATO assumed command of all air operations over Libya early Thursday, taking over from the U.S., which had been eager to be rid of that responsibility. NATO Chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters in Stockholm that NATO's position is that "we are there to protect the Libyan people, not to arm the people."
Britain and the U.S. believe that existing U.N. Security Council resolutions on Libya could allow for foreign governments to arm the rebels, despite an arms embargo being in place.
The NATO secretary-general said he has "taken note of the ongoing discussions in a number of countries but as far as NATO is concerned ... we will focus on the enforcement of the arms embargo."
Fogh Rasmussen said the transition to its command was completed at 0600 GMT (2 a.m. EDT) Thursday, giving NATO sole responsibility for all aerial and naval operations in the region. A rebellion against Gadhafi's 42-year rule erupted last month, and international forces including the U.S., France and Britain stepped in March 19, just as it appeared Gadhafi was on the verge of crushing the revolt.
Gadhafi's forces were heavily bombarded, effectively turning the U.S.-led air assaults into an unacknowledged aerial arm of the ragtag rebel force fighting the government's army.
The NATO operation -- code named Unified Protector -- includes enforcement the U.N. Security Council resolution mandating an arms embargo on Libya, enforcement of a no-fly zone and the protection of civilians from Gadhafi's troops.
The takeover comes at a sensitive moment in the war between the rebels and loyalist forces. On Wednesday, Gadhafi's ground troops recaptured a strategic oil town and moved within striking distance of another major eastern city, nearly reversing the gains rebels made since the international airstrikes began.
Asked where NATO is now that the rebels are being pushed back, Fogh Rasmussen answered, "We are there. We are there to take action with the aim to protect civilians against any attack."
"And if and when our military commanders feel that civilians are threatened then they will take, as is stated in the U.N resolution, take all necessary measures to protect civilians against such attacks," he said.
The battlefield setbacks will likely increase calls for the international community to supply weapons to the lightly armed rebels.
The operation is being commanded by Canadian Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard from NATO's operational center in Naples, Italy. There was no word on how many airplanes and military staff would be involved, but officials say dozens of fighters, fighter-bombers, air refueling tankers, AWACS surveillance planes, maritime patrol aircraft and search-and-rescue helicopters will likely be required for the operation.
They will be based at a string of NATO bases along the Mediterranean, including Italy, France, Greece and Turkey.
"The transfer of authority on air assets is now complete," NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said. "Everything that has been offered to us has been handed over.
"NATO is the only one issuing operational orders for the international effort," she added.
NATO's governing body, the North Atlantic Council, has approved the alliance's operations for up to three months. That period could be extended if necessary, officials said.
While Western powers are keeping up the pressure to force Gadhafi out with air strikes, diplomats are attempting to persuade him to leave without military force. A senior Ugandan official said a day after his country first offered Gadhafi refuge that the leader has not asked for political asylum in his country.
Security Minister Amama Mbabazi, who was meeting with Russia's foreign minister in Moscow on Thursday, told reporters that Ugandan authorities have therefore not formally made an offer to him.
Associated Press writers Karl Ritter in Stockholm and Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow contributed to this report.

Dr. K.O. Antwi-Agyei manages the Expanded Programme on Immunisation in Ghana, where he oversees the day-to-day work to ensure vaccines reach children across the country.
Ghana's health care system has put a lot of its resources into vaccines. Why?
We can see a lot of achievements in reducing child deaths by investing in delivering vaccines. The returns are high, so the politicians and policy makers are convinced that it's worth investing in vaccines. That is why at least every year within our budget we ensure that we pay for all our traditional vaccines.
Our communities have also been great because they embrace vaccination. They even testify that "Oh, our children used to die from measles. Now with vaccination, we don't see measles." And of course, they allow our staff into their homes. There is trust. We can now return to the communities with other vaccination campaigns. It's marvelous.
What impact have vaccines had on the health of Ghana's population?
Around 1974, immunization coverage was around 1.6 percent. Today, well over 90 percent of our population is covered by immunization services, reducing the burden of disease.
For example, measles used to be the number two killer of children. Now it's no longer a cause of death for the past 10 years in Ghana. So a lot has been achieved through immunizations.
Last year, you were the first immunization chief in Africa to simultaneously roll out two vaccines, one protecting children against pneumonia and the other against rotavirus. Why did you decide to do that and, and what was the result?
Our desire to reach the Millennium Development Goal to reduce childhood death was a very big motivating factor. Apart from malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea are the two highest killing diseases. So we thought, if there is no vaccine against malaria now, and there are vaccines against pneumonia and diarrhea, then it's worth fighting. So we decided to fight the two together. We thought it would be difficult, but not an impossibility. And with careful planning, we could succeed.
How important are Ghana's community health workers in delivering the vaccines?
They are very important. The front line health workers, they are in touch with the communities. They help improve our public health services, not only through vaccinations but also by treating minor illnesses offering family planning and providing other health-related services.
How does Ghana use data collection to improve immunization coverage?
Data is used for making decisions. If your data is not good, then of course your decisions will also be faulty, and you won't be able to achieve your objectives. So a lot of effort has gone into data reporting. We developed tally and register books for the basic level so that they are able to pick the necessary data on children vaccinated, and also on what vaccines have been used. We firmly believe that if you won't use the data, then don't collect it. So once we collect the data, we use it. If a region's coverage is low, we immediately ask, "What is happening there?" We go and investigate and then give us feedback. Then, whatever the error is, we discuss it and correct it.
What is your long term goal for Ghana's immunization program?
To reach the top is difficult, but to remain at the top is even more difficult. For Ghana, our goal is to remain as a leader in the area of immunization and to show our commitment and to develop initiatives which can spread to other areas. Whatever is happening in other countries has a bearing on us. We want to have success stories which can be shared so that together we can get rid of diseases which are killing our children and mothers.

"Our desire to bring every good thing to our children is a force for good throughout the world. It's what propels societies forward." —Melinda Gates
The Global Fund has helped to deliver more than 190 million bed nets to protect families from malaria.
"The world faces a clear choice. If we invest relatively small amounts, many more poor farmers will be able to feed their families." —Bill Gates, 2012 Annual Letter
"When it come to global health, Bill and I are optimists—but we're impatient optimists. Tremendous progress is being made. But there is still so much we're impatient to see done." —Melinda French Gates
In Senegal, 80% of households now have a bed net, helping the number of malaria cases there drop 50% in a single year.

Hi Everyone. My husband(54)and I(43) are leaving 5 April 2009 on HAL Westerdam from Port Everglades to spend 2 weeks in the Southern and Eastern Caribbean before heading through the Panama and up to Vancouver Canada (35 days total http://bestsmileys.com/thumbs/7.gif). We have sailed with HAL on the Ryndam(Mexico) and Zaandam(Hawaii) so are very familiar with the cruise line. I have been gathering lots of port info on many of the ports of call in the Caribbean and Mexico but can't seem to find any info on the following ports: Santa Marta, Columbia; and Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do at either of these ports. Shore excursions through the ship at Santa Marta are limited to 1 tour which is a "highlights and folklore" tour. In Puerto Caldera there are many more options which include many tours into the jungle but I have not been able to find any reviews on these type of excursions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if you are traveling on the Westerdam any time during this period I would love to hear from you and perhaps meet for a drink while on board.
I have been to Costa Rica several times, but only on Princess and only to Puntarenas. But since Puerto Caldera is just slightly south of Puntarenas, I would assume that the tours offered would be quite similar.
Last trip we took what was called a "Mangrove Nature Cruise;" It was kind of like the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland, except for real. Very enjoyable. We saw many varities of birds, monkeys, iguanas and even crocodiles.
On previous trips we took the tour to San Jose, the Capital; and another time to the village of Sarchi. Both were wonderful, and a great way to see the beautiful Costa Rican countryside--although a bit long. But the local guides were very knowledgable and made the tours interesting and informative.
|All times are GMT -7. The time now is 05:20 PM.

I love how people like her file frivolous lawsuits to make a buck on a settlement.

Just because she owned a home in NC and paid taxes on it does not mean she was a resident of NC. Otherwise, people that owned multiple homes in multiple states could be considered a resident of any one the states.
Doesn't she have to declare residency in a state? Her husband would have to delcare residency of one state and if she is unemployed then she is considered a resident of the same state as her husband.

Clearly Congress could solve this by mandating either that the GI Bill pay in or out of state tuition, or better yet, mandate that all universities should give in state tuition to any vet, regardless of residency. Either we support our vets or we don't....

Seriously. Owning a house in state was enough for Elizabeth Dole to run for Senate as representing NC when she really didn't live here. I have no problem extending in state tuition to any vet who lives here, owns property here or is stationed here not matter how temporary. The UNC system makes plenty of other exceptions for athletic out of state students who don't qualify for athletic scholarships.

"Don't for minute think that your military connection, having the nerve to try and enter and lib university didn't have something to do with it! UNC has proven quite clearly that they will bend any rule at any time if you can tackle or shoot hoops"
Looks like someone is confused about the schools involved and is more concerned with silly terms like "lib".

Lets see...she got into FSU with in-state tuition, but opted to go to Methodist instead. Now she wants to sue.
sounds like a money grab. She could have gone to FSU and paid in-state, been cheaper than what she is paying at Methodis. Heck, out of state at UNC-P is less than what she is paying at Methodist.
I think someone is grabbing for some cash.
notyou Nov 9, 2012
Owning a house in a state (even if you are paying taxes on it) does not equate to residency. If that were true our state elections would have lots of extra votes from our of state folks with vacation homes here. She moved her residency to avoid paying income taxes in NC (which is what funds that in-state tuition). She is not a resident. I commend her for her service but that does not mean she is in the right in this case.
mrschizzy Nov 9, 2012
If I remember correctly from the original story, she maintained a residence in NC and paid the property taxes on it. I don't know about the income tax portion. But if she maintained a residence in state while living in Texas for a period of time, then as far as I know, that is still maintaining residency. She should have gotten in-state tuition. I support her cause and the lawsuit, because if this happened to her, then it has happened to others and will continue to happen to others. A line needs to be drawn and if it takes a lawsuit to do it, then so be it.
BuglessDuster Nov 9, 2012
This is ridiculous. Give the lady the in-state tuition that she deserves. She was making mortgage payments and paying property tax in North Carolina.
changedmyname Nov 9, 2012
I support her cause too, but not her lawsuit. I don't think we know all of the story because there is a The Military Spouses Residency Relief Act enables military spouses to do what their servicemembers have long been able to do -- claim and maintain residency in one home state, pay income taxes only to that state, and vote as a resident of that state, for the duration of their military career, without regard to where they are stationed. Texas has no state income tax and she was probley was claiming Texas while in the Military and continued when she moved with her husband. The feds don't play around and could possibly get her for tax evasion. If she planned to come back to NC then why didn't she do the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act.
Sherlock Nov 9, 2012
She need to do this. This school belives it can do what it wants when it wants, this school does not support education unless you have money or play basketball or football. If she did that she would be in with no problems.
yankee1 Nov 8, 2012
Sorry Marty! She can't put any pressure on UNC to do the right thing now and in the future without attacking their taxpayer funded pocketbook! I hope she cleans their proverbial clock!!
Marty King Nov 8, 2012
I support her cause but not her frivolous lawsuit.
yankee1 Nov 8, 2012
Go get 'em Hayleigh! Don't just settle for admission, take back a bunch of taxpayer money! If your name were Hernandez and you were illegal, they'd have given you a front row seat. Don't for minute think that your military connection, having the nerve to try and enter and lib university didn't have something to do with it! UNC has proven quite clearly that they will bend any rule at any time if you can tackle or shoot hoops!
rachel Nov 8, 2012
we give so much preference to this or that group for scholarships, admissions etc. Shouldn't vets be accorded the lowest tuition cost for the college of their choice? After all, the gi bill is footing the bills and this is paid for by taxpayer dollars, so let the returning vets go to college. Its the least we can do.
Crumps Br0ther Nov 8, 2012
If she were here illegally there wouldn't have been any problems
101jackson101 Nov 8, 2012
Illegals get more from this country than our own veterans, shameful
Tax Man Nov 8, 2012
So they will give in state tuition to illegal criminal aliens (felons) but not to honorably discharged vets who were NC residents when they joined the military and remained taxpayers and homeowners in NC the entire time? Someone needs to spank their behinds and remove the board that applied that rule! We should give FREE tuition to military veterans returning from combat missions if they even remotely have ties to our state! Shame on UNC Pembroke - they should be dishonorably discharged for treason! I signed her petition and I would be happy to support her legal case. I am a Vietnam Veteran who did complete college and law school on the GI Bill!
whatelseisnew Nov 8, 2012
"educational institutions should be removing every barrier for our military personel/veterans to obtain higher education."
There is NO barrier. She can go to the school, she just does not want to pay the price they are asking. Yes she should get the lower tuition rate, but it is past time to eliminate subsidized tuition. One of the things I wonder about is, it used to be Vets got money from the Federal Government to pay for education, is that still true? I would be surprised if it is not.
gammasandi Nov 8, 2012
educational institutions should be removing every barrier for our military personel/veterans to obtain higher education...forget all this scramble to accomodate illegals and prisoners...
baldchip Nov 8, 2012
NO surprise-good luck!!
justafella Nov 8, 2012
This should have been done years ago.
westernwake1 Nov 8, 2012
Let's hope she is successful in forcing the UNC system to reform their policy.

The display area of the iPhone 3G is composed of the chassis cover, the touch panel, the LCD panel and the proximity sensor (a). The chassis cover, the touch panel and the LCD panel are not integrated. In the iPhone 2G, the chassis cover, the LCD panel and the touch panel are bonded by resin (b, c).

Made to the highest possible pharmaceutical standards ? Micronized for instant mixing ? Supports a healthy immune system ? Minimize muscle tissue breakdown ? Improve protein metabolism ? Cell volumizer As the most important component of muscle protein, supplementing with L-Glutamine helps repair and build muscle after intense exercise. Scientists have long known that glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid (protein building block) in muscle cells. Athletes and coaches agree it is essential for cell growth and is a critical source of energy for immune system cells. L-Glutamine supplementation may help individuals engaged in intense, prolonged exercise by preventing falls in muscle glutamine levels and maintaining the immune system. Scientific research has shown that glutamine levels are significantly reduced after intense exercise. As the body depends on glutamine as a source of fuel particularly for the immune system, research has shown that supplementing with glutamine can reduce the breakdown of muscle tissue and aid protein synthesis. In order to ensure the very highest quality and purity, iSatori has chosen Kyowa to supply it's L-Glutamine. Kyowa is an international health ingredients manufacturer and a world leader in the development, manufacturing and marketing of nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and food products. Kyowa Hakko Bio is a pioneer in the development and application of fermentation technology and maintains an ongoing commitment to research, developing innovative new products and quality management. Recommended Use: Take 5g (1 teaspoon) in 250ml of water or juice 1-3 times a day. Take away from food, preferably on an empty stomach for maximum absorption. L-Glutamine can also be added to your protein shake for faster recovery.

Critically acclaimed filmmaker Pawan Kumar, who caught the attention of the International audience with his psychological thriller Lucia is happy for recent Malayalam hit Drishyam getting remade in Kannada. The director, who believes that content is a king in the movies is eagerly waiting to catch up the Kannada remake of Drishyam.
Pawan Kumar, who recently watched Drishyam was blown away by the movie. Kannada version of the movie, which is tentatively named as Drishya, has Crazy Star Ravichandran and Navya Nair in the lead roles. The original film had Mohanlal and Meena in the key roles, which turned out to be the biggest Blockbuster in the history of Malayalam film industry by creating many records.
"Watched Drishyam last evening. Blown away. I am so glad its getting remade in Kannada... ya I know its strange to hear that from me. But this movie totally deserves it. These guys are brilliant... I had heard such great things about it but when I started watching it, I was not impressed with the way it started... was wondering why people were appreciating the film n then it hits you n after that you are glued to your seat n its a 2 hrs 43 mins movie... you don't feel the length," posted Pawan, who is also expecting the movie to recreate the same magic in Kannada too.

5. Results of a Fall 2013 Survey of USM Students Enrolled in USM's Online Courses and Programs
During the fall 2013 semester, USM Student Success Center staff member and Adult and Higher Education graduate student, Kristi Hertlein, collaborated with USM's Division of Professional and Continuing Education (PCE) to conduct a survey of students who were recently admitted to USM's online courses and programs. One goal of the study was to examine the transition process for new majors in USM's online programs. The data provides valuable insights into the experiences and needs of USM students enrolled in online classes and programs. Highlights from the study are provided below.
Student suggestions included:
- Clearly listing all proctored exams and required synchronous meetings in MaineStreet, as well as notifying students through a welcome email to allow them to adjust their schedules, if necessary
- Being consistent with the location of information such as syllabus and assignments in Blackboard
- Responding to students' questions within 24 hours and providing an online forum for frequently asked questions to help student engagement and increase efficiency
- Providing a forum to discuss extra-curricular topics and encouraging its use through the welcome letter in order to create a sense of community
- Setting clear expectations about the extent of students' and instructor's online engagement through rubrics or instructions in the syllabus
To learn more, please contact Kristi Hertlein at firstname.lastname@example.com.
6. Featured Courses: MAT9 and MAT101 (Faculty: Clover Jordan | CTEL Learning Designer: Rucha Modak)
In Spring 2014, USM's Department of Learning Foundations and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics collaborated with CTEL to design two of their remedial mathematics courses fully online. Both courses are being taught by Clover Jordan, who has taught these courses face-to-face in the past. Clover worked with CTEL Learning Designer Rucha Modak to create online resources for both classes. While Blackboard served as the primary organizational and communication space for the courses, an external learning management system called MyMathLab was heavily employed to make quizzes and homework problems available to the students. MyMathLab is a publisher run website tied to textbook content and students buy access to it when they buy the textbook. Clover was able to integrate her original powerpoint videos in MyMathLab, which she created using the online tool 'Screencast-O-Matic' and published on YouTube. In addition to face-to-face office hours, Clover met her students through Adobe Connect and used a Wacom tablet to demonstrate equations in its whiteboard space.
7. Teaching Online: A Short Course for New Online Faculty
The goal of this course is to provide a structured learning community for faculty who may be wondering how to get started in teaching online. This course gives faculty a chance to experience an online course, explore the possible technologies and applications at their disposal for online teaching, and begin planning their course development. Faculty will work with their own courses and have an opportunity to share their ideas with colleagues and get their feedback and support.
Course facilitators are Glenn LeBlanc and Rich Frino of University College and CTEL Learning Designers Rucha Modak and Pieter Tryzelaar. The course runs from Wednesday, February 26 and ends on Tuesday, March 25.
Please contact Robin Russell (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you are interested in attending this course.
8. National Center for Academic Transformation (NCAT) Free Webinar: Getting Started on Course Redesign
Getting Started on Course Redesign is a webinar for those of you who are thinking about beginning a large-scale course redesign project. This two-hour-long webinar will provide participants the opportunity to learn about how redesign efforts have begun at both four- and two-year institutions. NCAT Redesign Scholar Teresa Overton from Northern Virginia Community College will describe how their redesign of developmental math, impacting almost 10,000 students, got started and how they resolved problems that arose. NCAT vice president Carolyn Jarmon will give examples of what has been experienced by four-year institutions in a variety of academic disciplines as they began their redesigns. The agenda includes plenty of time for discussion to help you think about how to get started.

Campus News 2012
For Immediate Release
April 17, 2012
Schreiner Recycles! And Has a Party!
Schreiner's new recycling program is already in gear, as anyone can see by the sudden explosion of recycling boxes in campus buildings. This is a student-centered initiative in which the University has partnered with Greenstar Recycling in San Antonio, who provide the recycling bins and pick up materials after they have been sorted Schreiner Environment Management staff and student volunteers. The amount of waste hauled off-campus has already been reduced by 25 percent.
"Schreiner Senate is excited to celebrate the contributions of the student body to our University's new recycling effort," said William Keaton, Student Senate president. "The Senate is proud to help contribute to this effort, and happy to try to find ways to encourage our student body to increase our contributions to Schreiner Environmental Impact."
The Schreiner Recycles! program will kick off officially with a launch party 11 a.m.-1 p.m., on Earth Day, Friday, April 20, on The Commons. Included in the celebration will be goodies such as buttons, bags and T-shirts, free Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Monte, some remarks on the environment by Dr. Chris Distal, the official unveiling of Schreiner Recycles gator and wagon and a special appearance by Phil 'n' the Blanks.
"Schreiner Recycles is an important initiative that demonstrates our commitments to both environmental stewardship and collaboration," said Bill Muse, vice president of administration and finance. "The students have advocated for an effective recycling program for some time and their serious intent is borne out in their participation: in helping to plan the program, in staffing the recycling wagon, in helping to fund the program by paying for individual recycling containers for dorm rooms and apartments and in the cumulative impact of the recycling efforts of all of the students. The results are already impressive, and we are just getting started." William Keaton president of Schreiner Student Senate.
