Nominate students for Society of the Compass
The Society of the Compass is a prestigious student award developed to foster academic success. This new award was launched in honor of the college's 50thAnniversary, and will become an annual recognition announced at the end of each academic year, at the spring semester Commencement.
This distinction will allow faculty and staff to recognize students who have demonstrated extraordinary achievements during their time at Columbus State. The award was aptly named the Society of the Compass because, like the compass, Columbus State is often instrumental in helping students find and follow their direction.
Membership in the Society of the Compass represents the successful achievement and navigation of the four points that serve as the foundation of the Society's creed: Nobility (N), Excellence (E), Service (S) and Wisdom (W).
All faculty and staff are welcome to nominate students who meet the following criteria:
Nominees must have completed at least 30 credit hours at Columbus State.
Nominees must be recent or current students graduating by the spring of 2014.
Nominees must be Columbus State students who, in your experience and professional opinion, have performed and behaved in a manner worthy of this exclusive group of students according to the Society of the Compass creed.
If you know a worthy candidate, please complete the nomination form and submit it to: email@example.com.

Celebrate new fitness equipment with free circuit training!
The Max Rack is not an instrument of torture, but rather a weight-lifting device with many safety features and more than 20 different lifting exercises.
The Department of Athletics and College Recreation would like to thank John Mosca and members of the Physical Plant Department for assisting in the cleaning, maintenance, and installation of the new fitness equipment over the holiday break. New fitness machines include two treadmills and a "Max Rack."
Spring Semester Fitness Center hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday: 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and closed on the weekend.
The Fitness Center is also offering two free circuit training classes to all employees and students. The sessions are offered on Mondays and Thursdays, from 6:45 to 7:15 a.m. and again from 7:15 to 7:45 a.m. Theoretically, if you were so inclined and had that much energy, you could work out for a solid hour at the break of dawn in the Fitness Center!
Help students find success with BLUEprint Success Workshops
Did you know that students can now earn a new type of recognition by attending an Advising Services' BLUEprint Success Workshop?
Not only do attendees get extra help on student success topics for free, but now they also earn a non-credit notation on their student record after completing a workshop. In addition, students who would like their own documentation after completing a workshop can request a Certificate of Completion for their own student portfolio. Many competitive programs at four-year colleges, as well as graduate programs, require students to be involved during their studies. These certificates can be a great way to keep track of academic and extracurricular involvement while at Columbus State.
Columbus Sate students are encouraged to attend at least one new workshop each semester. Workshops cover a variety of topics such as library services, money and time management, transfer planning, student services, test anxiety, degree audits, and more. This Spring Semester, BLUEprint will unveil ten new workshop topics focused on goal setting, returning adult students, "apps" for college success, the Honors Program, selecting a lifestyle/major, reading comprehension, critical thinking and communication, healthcare careers, and more!
In addition, BLUEprint will continue to partner with the Ohio State Preferred Pathway Program to offer new workshop topics presented by OSU faculty and staff. Advising Services posts a full schedule of workshops online for students here.
For those students who don't have time to attend a full workshop, Advising Services also offers Table-Top Info-Stops, which are presented on Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Students can pick up a hand-out or chat with a presenter about certain topics there. The Table-Top subjects are also listed on the schedule.
So join Advising Services in promoting BLUEprint to our students so they can get information, enhance their skills, and just be awesome!

Chacin to throw simulated game Tuesday
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Rockies right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, who struggled in his lone appearance in the World Baseball Classic, will throw a simulated game on Tuesday at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick as he and the other players who represented Venezuela -- outfielder Carlos Gonzalez and catcher Ramon Hernandez -- return to the club.
Chacin worked 3 1/3 innings and gave up five hits and four runs in Venezuela's first-game loss to the Dominican Republic. Chacin left the game with two runners on base, and they scored.
Chacin is 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA in two Cactus League appearances.

What better place to spend President's Day weekend than in Washington DC?
President's Day, celebrated on February 18th, 2013, originated as a celebration of General George Washington's birthday, and later evolved to commemorate all of our nation's great presidential leaders. From parades to exhibits, there's sure to be excitement in the air, and many festivities around town that weekend in DC.
Visit the Lincoln Memorial (23rd & Constitution Ave., NW) to see the Presidential wreath-laying ceremony and a dramatic reading of the "Gettysburg Address." Or tour the White House! Or for a more unusual adventure, tour Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum to see likenesses of all US Presidents carved from wax!
While in the region, be sure to check out Old Town Alexandria, home to Washington's Birthday parade, and the Gadsby's Tavern Museum, which typically hosts a George Washington's Birthnight Banquet and Ball during this time. And on your way home, why not stop by Colonial Williamsburg for a trip back in time?
We look forward to seeing you here in Washington over President's Day Weekend,
Jennifer, Innkeeper
American Guest House in Washington DC

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Living With ESRD | Resource Guide
The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are given to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions. Screening for follows someone in renal failure to screen for evidence that they are getting close to ESRD.
Screening Tests
Blood tests to see if your kidneys are working properly. If they are not filtering the blood properly, the blood will contain excess amounts of creatinine and urea. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle function. Urea is a waste product of protein metabolism.
Urine tests to see if the kidneys are working properly. If they are not working properly, urine will contain protein. You may be asked to collect urine in a special container over a 24-hour period. This test will also show if your kidneys are clearing creatinine at a normal rate. The amount of urine produced during this test is also important. If your kidneys are failing, your urine output may be low or even completely absent. If you have diabetes, your doctor will likely check your urine every year for small amounts of protein.
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measurement of how well the kidneys are processing wastes. Your doctor can calculate the GFR based on your:
|Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
|over 90 mL/min (normal)
|60-89 mL/min (mild decrease)
|30-59 mL/min (moderate decrease)
|15-29 mL/min (severe decrease)
|under 15 mL/min (kidney failure or end-stage renal disease)
Screening Guidelines
The National Kidney Foundation provides screening for people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a close relative with one of these conditions or with chronic renal failure.

New Season Brings Monstrous Beasts Across TF Toy Lines...

The latest Transformers animation to entertain fans young and old is Transformers: Prime. Debuting back in 2010 as part of Hasbro's Hub Channel launch, Prime got a new look, name, and theme for season three: Beast Hunters! The end of season two saw the Autobots scattered across the Earth, in hiding from the overwhelming forces of the Decepticons. In season three, Megatron recruits assistance from the best hunters in the universe, Predaking and the Predacons. To coincide with the appearances of these new characters in the show (as well as other media) Hasbro has unleashed a huge new wave of toys featuring Beast Hunters that extends throughout the standard Transformers toys, Bot Shots, Kre-O, and more. Today we'll be taking a look at three of the first Predacon toys: Voyager Class Predaking, Deluxe Class Ripclaw, and the Kre-O Ripclaw Strike set!
To go along with the new title the show's logo added an intimidating "Beast Hunters" tag, and that's the easiest way to tell which are the new Transformers toys in the aisle at your local store. Other than that, the packaging has pretty much stayed the same. In this group you can see the standard window box design for Voyager Class figures, blister and card for Deluxe Class, and the "briefcase" box for medium-sized Kre-O sets. All of them feature Hasbro's usual glossy graphics, slick text, and kid-grabbing feature shout outs (like "Tail Becomes a Sword!" and "Snapping Siphon Claw!"). Both Predaking's box and Ripclaw's bubble also include brief descriptions of the characters as well as their Technical Data numbers.
So just what are Predacons? Though they've had different incarnations before in Beast Hunters they were ancient creatures from Cybertron. Shockwave used fossilized remains to clone and re-create Predaking, a fearsome dragon Transformer with exceptional tracking and fighting abilities. In the toy lines, Predacons are generally Cybertronian dragons (and some other mythological-inspired creatures as well). While they all feature bestial alt modes, some have unique aspects like multiple heads or extra limbs. Hasbro has also brought back through the Predacons a number of characters and names (Predaking, Hun-Gurrr, Rippersnapper, etc.) that will be familiar to longtime Transformers fans.
The main line of Transformers Prime toys features various "classes" to denote sizes and prices, from the smallest Legion and Commander Class "Cyberverse" toys to the larger Deluxe and Voyager lines, and even bigger with the Weaponizer, Ultimate, and other special classes. In the new Predacon lineup is Ripclaw, a blue and red Deluxe-sized dragon that stands about 5 inches tall in robot mode. A female Cybertronian (read her bio on the cardback), Ripclaw is a really fun toy with a lot of personality. The dragon mode has a small body, long thick neck, blocky reptilian head, long forelegs, short reverse-articulated hind legs, bat wings, and a lengthy tail. This mode also features a ton of articulation (ball joints in the limbs, articulated wings and mouth, etc.), and there's actually a lot of grace in the poses you can create. Ripclaw's trademark Snapping Siphon Claw is removable from the tip of her tail, but I'm not sure why you'd want to since it looks so good there. The sculpt has a nice mix of organic and technological elements with armor plating on the body, paneling on the wings like veins, teeth, claws, tail segments, and wicked barbs on the forelegs. Color-wise Ripclaw is a nice mix of blue and red with accents in tan and yellow.
As an "intermediate" difficulty level Transformer Ripclaw is not too complicated or hard to convert between dragon and robot. Straighten out the legs, open the chest and neck, rearrange the arms, and hide the dragon head and you're pretty much there. Her robot mode reveals powerful limbs, a carapace-like collar over a reinforced torso, and a very unique head design with a predatory look and gaping maw. The wings and tail remain as is, connecting her visually to her Predacon origin. Ripclaw is highly poseable in robot mode as well, and the tail here is a double-edged sword sometimes getting in the way but sometimes assisting with balance; note that you can also release the tail from its locked position and have it rest on the ground. This mode continues the same color scheme but adds more yellow, while the chest is emblazoned with the Predacon symbol. Ripclaw is probably my favorite Predacon design thus far and this toy is highly recommended. As an added bonus, this is the same design used in the awesome Transformers: Prime - Rage of the Dinobots comic book (by Mike Johnson, Mairghread Scott, and Agustin Padilla) for the creepy villain Ser-Ket; a repaint in green and yellow will bring that character to life!
Ripclaw is a neat dragon, but against the big Autobots like Optimus she's a little small. That's why you need the big gun, Predacon leader Predaking! Standing 7 inches in robot mode, this guy is immediately recognizable as a brutish bad guy. He's all claws, spines, and horns with an intricately sculpted "Y" shaped torso, massive shoulders, long arms, and huge legs. There's a lot of detail to enjoy on this guy, from the claws on his feet and hands to his spiky head, wings, and more. Predaking utilizes the character's classic color scheme with black, orange, and silver with gold eyes and Predacon logo on his chest. Articulation is solid, with an added bonus of heel claws (from his dragon feet) for stability. You have plenty of display options too with articulated wings and shoulder spikes (I prefer mine deployed rather than folded back). Predaking has three weapons, an axe he can hold in either hand and twin projectile-firing Hydrafire missile launchers that he can dual wield or combine into one massive weapon!
While he's bigger, Predaking clocks in with the same "intermediate" transformation difficulty as his smaller sister Ripclaw. The arms become the forelegs, one head rotates the other into place, waist swivels and dragon legs emerge from robot legs, and the sword plugs into the back of the body to become the creature's tail. Predaking as dragon is heavy and bulky, if not particularly agile or articulated. His body is thick and stubby, resting on longer forelegs and shorter hind legs while showing off his large wings. This mode reveals a body covered in spikes and points, notably on the tail, legs, neck, and head.
The latter has a very cool sculpt with a mandibular snout and lots of swept-back horns. As noted articulation isn't this mode's strong suit, though there is movement in the limbs, wings, and head including a hinged jaw. The same colors appear on this mode, with a bigger emphasis on black. Finally, the Hydrafire weapons can attach to Predaking's shoulders to form additional heads (as well as projectile launchers).
Lastly we've got one of the first Beast Hunters Kre-O sets, Ripclaw Strike! This medium sized kit comes with two Kreon mini-figures, the evil-looking winged Ripclaw and militant Colonel Daniel Witwicky armed with a projectile-firing bazooka. At just under 200 pieces, this kit builds a sizeable Ripclaw in either dragon or robot mode (7 inches tall). Instructions are comprehensive if a little hard to follow at times, but once completed you'll end up with a pretty sweet construct in either mode.
Remember that Kre-O creations do NOT transform, so to go from one mode to the other you need to disassemble (don't tell Johnny 5), and rebuild. The kit has some unique pieces that really bring Ripclaw to life like horns and articulated clawed fingers (in both modes). The robot is tall and lanky, and thanks to its many ball joints can be posed like an action figure. The dragon, my preferred mode, works best hunched forward and has a really nice head design with buggy eyes and articulated jaw. Both modes share two special features; the long arcing tail is studded with barbs and ends in an articulated claw while the massive wings are plugged into a special module that flaps them at the press of a button! Kids especially are going to love this big, beefy dragon with its fun features.
All three of these Beast Hunters toys are available in stores now, and you can catch new episodes of the show each week on the Hub. Predaking runs about $20, Ripclaw $15, and the Kre-O Ripclaw Strike set $17. Each one is a solid example of the new Predacon threat in its respective toy line/class, but there are plenty of others as well as heroic Autobots for them to hunt. The Beat Hunters theme also extends to the smaller scale Cyberverse and Bot Shots toys if those are more your (or your kids') style.

Bob is a very mellow and easy going doggy, his favorite things are his food and treats. He loves to be petted and be by the side of his human. He is not aggressive. Lives mainly indoors. This boy is a true sweetheart. Gets along with everyone. He absolutely LOVES people and dogs.
Walks great on leash and enjoys visiting the park.
He is looking for a loving a family who is willing to care for him; he is a GEM and deserves to be loved for the rest of his life.

You can return any of our dogs as we don't want to see them turned into a shelter. The application process helps prevent such an issue, so it's very important that you are honest when answering the questions.
Not all dogs are compatible in all situations, so it is imperative that you are forthright in the application process to find the right match. However, be sure you are ready to make a full commitment to adopting a dog, whether a puppy or an adult.
It can take up to a few weeks for a dog to really adjust to his/her new environment. A lot really depends on the dog's past so the prospect of adopting should be well-thought-out & the commitment should be taken seriously.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Dog Rescue Without Borders / Rescate Sin Fronteras.

|Uveitis Arthritis, Juvenile Rheumatoid
|Drug: TNFR:Fc
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Primary Purpose: Treatment
In other studies, TNFR:Fc significantly reduced joint pain and swelling in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and the Food and Drug Administration has approved the drug for that use. Because medicines for arthritis often help patients with eye inflammation, this study will examine whether TNFR:Fc can help patients with uveitis.
Patients with uveitis who are not responding well to standard treatment, such as steroids, and patients who have side effects from other medicines used to treat their uveitis or have refused treatment because of possible side effects may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, and eye examination. The eye exam includes a check of vision and eye pressure, examination of the back of the eye (retina), and front of the eye, including measurements of protein and inflammation. Candidates will also undergo fluorescein angiography-a procedure in which photographs are taken of the retina to see if there is any leakage in the eye's blood vessels. A blood test and joint evaluation will also be done.
Study participants will be given an injection of TNFR:Fc twice a week for up to 12 months and may continue other medicines they may be taking, such as prednisone or methotrexate. They will have follow-up examinations at week two and months one, two, three and four. Those who wish to continue treatment after the fourth month can receive the drug for another eight months and will have follow-up exams at months six, nine and 12, and one month after treatment ends. Each follow-up visit will include a repeat of the screening exams and an evaluation of side effects or discomfort from the medicine.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|2 Years to 18 Years (Child, Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Must meet American College of Rheumatology Criteria for JRA.
Must have active anterior uveitis defined as the presence of inflammatory cells (Grade 1+ or higher) in the anterior chamber of at least one eye or the current use of topical corticosteroids to control exacerbation of disease at a frequency of TID or higher.
Age between 2 and 18 years, inclusive.
Ability to undergo slit lamp biomicroscopy for assessment of anterior chamber cells.
Ability to comply with study requirements.
Be up to date on all recommended childhood immunizations.
Using current arthritis regimen for at least 8 weeks prior to enrollment.
No media opacity that precludes assessment of anterior chamber inflammation.
No periocular injection of corticosteroids within 2 months of baseline, or used a systemic experimental therapy within one month of baseline evaluation.
Not currently receiving disease modifying antirheumatic therapy (DMARD), with the exception of prednisone at a dose no greater than 1.0 mg/kg/day, or methotrexate at a dose no greater than 15 mg/m(2)/week.
No active eye or joint inflammation requiring immediate addition or increase in systemic anti-inflammatory medications.
No females who are pregnant or lactating.
No refusal to use contraception during the study and 6 months after termination of active study therapy, if child-bearing or fathering potential exists.
No use of Latanoprost within two weeks prior to enrollment, or have a current or likely need for Latanoprost during the course of the study.
No hypersensitivity to fluorescein dye.
No active serious infections or history of recurring serious infections.
No evidence of spondyloarthropathy or entheseopathy.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - As a resident of the city, Garland "Corky" Miller felt there were more things the government leaders could do for the people.
As a councilmember, Miller has gone to work to secure some funds to help make some of these things possible.
With a $2,500 check from Flynn Brothers Construction, Miller got the ball rolling on Monday night.
With the initial contribution, Miller is looking to add other donations to the coffers, which will be totally separate from any city funds.

Allan Chaney's basketball career at Virginia Tech is over--before it ever had the chance to begin.
A transfer from Florida, Chaney was denied medical clearance to compete for the Hokies by the university's sports medicine department because of his cardiac issues.
Chaney (6-9, 235) missed all of last season after passing out during an April 2010 workout. He then was diagnosed with myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and had not been active regularly with the team since.
A source close to the Hokies said Chaney had seen a Philadelphia cardiac specialist in July and Chaney himself indicated that doctor had been given him clearance to resume competition. But Virginia Tech team physician Mark Rogers indicated Chaney will not be allowed to play for the Hokies.
"Allan is an outstanding young man who has gone through a lot this year both physically and emotionally," Rogers said in a statement. "Unfortunately, due to persistent complications from myocarditis, this will not allow us to medically clear him to play basketball at Virginia Tech."
Originally from Baltimore, Chaney was a top-100 prospect when he signed with Florida out of high school. He averaged 10 minutes and 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds in 23 games as a freshman before deciding to transfer.
"Allan Chaney has been through a great deal in the last year and a half," Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg said. "Everyone involved in our basketball program feels for him. Unfortunately, this rare condition will prevent him from continuing his career here at Virginia Tech.
"We will do everything in our power to assist Allan as he goes through his next procedure and support him in every way possible."

The commanding officer of the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is to be commended for his efforts to save the Miramar Air Show from becoming a complete victim of President Obama's "sequester theater."
Col. John Farnam says the October show will go on, though it will be a day shorter and no active-duty military aircraft will participate. Instead, there will be civilian flying performances and vintage military aircraft, including the Patriots jet team, which flew six small jets in precision formations at the 2012 air show.
The Miramar show symbolizes the important role the military has played in San Diego history — and continues to play in the region's culture. Many air shows elsewhere have been canceled completely in the wake of the cuts in spending required by the March 1 budget sequestration.
But it's a shame this year's show will be a shadow of its former self, thanks to the Obama administration's attempts to make these cuts as painful as possible instead of working with Congress to reduce expenses in a sensible way.
The ultimate losers are the hundreds of thousands of San Diegans who won't get to see an array of military aircraft dance in the skies over Miramar — all because of budgetary turbulence caused by presidential petulance.

A new multi skills project by charity Splash was a great success at Salisbury Rugby Club last week as young people learnt about sports, nutrition and rugby values.
As well as games based around tag rugby they also learnt about teamwork, respect, discipline and sportsmanship, before being presented with medals and certificates.
The pilot scheme by Splash, which supports young people who are facing challenges in life, has led to several attendees wanting to join the club in September.
Mel Bradley, fundraiser at Splash, said: "This was a new project for us and was a pilot for a wider Wiltshire rugby programme for next year."

REYNOLDS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- West Michigan police say a 55-year-old Howard City woman has been killed in a head-on collision in Reynolds Township.
Police say the 64-year-old male driver of a Honda CRV had been southbound on Federal Highway in Montcalm County about 10:30 p.m. Monday when he crossed the center line and struck a northbound Pontiac Montana being driven by the female victim. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
MLive.com says the male driver was being treated at a hospital for serious injuries.
Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
Identities of both drivers had not been released, pending notification of the woman's family.
An investigation is ongoing.

Panel recommends changes to Pa. hot line for reporting child abuse
The panel charged with reviewing Pennsylvania's laws on child abuse has issued its final report to Gov. Tom Corbett and the Legislature.
A few of its recommendations concern the state's child abuse hot line.
Childline works 24/7 to take reports of child abuse. But it has long frustrated advocates and doctors who point to long hold times and a high number of dropped calls.
The law creating Childline requires it to employ only full-time workers. Those slots are hard to fill – harder still because of the sometimes mandatory overtime that comes with the job.
One of the panel's suggestions for the understaffed hot line is to allow it to hire part-time employees, says Dr. Rachel Berger, a member of the PA Task Force on Child Protection.
"There are many former and active child protective services workers who have a tremendous amount of experience who could staff – it doesn't have to physically be at Childline – who could help staff this and provide additional coverage," said Berger, a Pittsburgh-area pediatrician specializing in child abuse.
She also characterized Childline's methods of relaying reports to the police and other agencies as a "game of telephone," and says the office should adopt more efficient ways of taking and sharing information.
The panel also recommends erasing the 15-month lifespan of child abuse reports, which its members say limits advocates' ability to track both victims and perpetrators.
A direct response to Sandusky case
The group was created in the months after the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal came to light. One panel member says some recommendations are in direct response to the debacle.
Attorney Jason Kutulakis noted the task force's proposal to change to the law allowing reports of child abuse within an institution to go up the chain of command.
"We saw that at Penn State. There was supposed to be the report up through the designated individual, in this case, (former university president) Graham Spanier," Kutulakis said Tuesday. "This has been changed in these amendments to require the person, the individual, who discovers the abuse to report it immediately to Childline."
The panel recommends that after calling Childline, those required to report abuse should also be compelled to tell their supervisors at the institution, to make it even less likely the abuse report is buried.
Had such requirements been in place at Penn State, Kutulakis says, former graduate assistant Mike McQueary and a school janitor who witnessed abuse by Sandusky would have been required to file a report with the state.

LOUISVILLE – When you pitch shutouts, it's hard to lose a baseball game.
In the first three games of the post-season, Bullitt East skipper Jeff Bowles has watched his hurlers throw three consecutive shutouts.
And, in each victory, the offense scored early, and the Bullitt East Chargers coasted to wins.
On Monday, in the opening round of the Sixth Region tournament, the Chargers defeated DeSales 6-0 to advance to face Pleasure Ridge Park.

The opening of the Los Angeles International Auto Show this week marks the beginning of the auto show season, where new car shoppers as well as car enthusiasts can head to their nearest convention center to be dazzled with bright colors, glittering chrome and interactive exhibits.
The 2012 Los Angles International Auto Show, which runs through Dec. 9, features more than 1,000 cars on display, including more than 40 cars that are being shown in the U.S. (or in some cases the world) for the first time. New-car debuts include redesigned versions of the Ford Fiesta, Honda Civic, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Forte, Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4.
The show is also known for its wide array of alternative-fuel cars and the announcement of the Green Car of the Year. This year's award was given to the Ford Fusion. Other alternative-fuel cars that debuted at the show included a full line of clean diesel cars from Audi as well as the BMW i8 Spyder plug-in hybrid, Chevrolet Spark EV, Fiat 500e and Mazda6 clean diesel.
Auto shows aren't just about ogling new cars. There are plenty of hands-on things to do. In Los Angeles this year, show visitors can test-drive a huge array of cars from more than 17 brands in a test-drive loop on city streets surrounding the convention center in a no-pressure opportunity to check out the latest models.
"It's good to see such a strong presence from automakers (at the L.A. Auto Show) and the best news is that consumers benefit from the many choices available to suit their needs. Plus, car loans have never been cheaper. Banks are charging the lowest interest rates since the Federal Reserve began its survey of loans more than four decades ago," says Jim Lentz, president and CEO of Toyota in the U.S.
Other activities include numerous interactive displays from automakers such as Audi's Urban Intelligent Assist display, where show visitors can view a virtual city and see how driving with predictive technology, such as calculating driving time at the beginning of a road trip and finding parking spots in advance of arrival, can enhance their driving experience. Toyota's Let's Go Places features interactive exhibit where visitors can test their reaction time in a racing-simulator game, see numerous race cars, and meet celebrity drivers and test their skills on the Tunda Teeter Totter. For kids, there is Hyundai's Hope on Wheels, a fun zone that features video games, educational activities, radio-controlled cars and more.
Have you ever been to a car show? What was your experience like?

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - A brawl involving several people late Monday at Jacksonville Beach caused police to totally shut down the Memorial Day festivities, sending thousands of people home early.
The melee broke out at the Sea Walk Pavilion, not far from the Jacksonville Beach pier, in the early evening. Video posted on social media sites shows multiple people involved in the last of the fights, then one man is thrown to the ground and several other men punching and kicking him, even jumping on top of him.
"I just remember one kid getting hit in the back of the head and a bunch of kids jumping on top of him," said Jose Lebron, who recorded the video on his iPhone. "I was like, 'Wow, insane.'"
Lebron said the people he saw throwing punches and kicking others all appeared to be younger than 18.
"It was a bunch of kids, you hear them talking," he said. "I heard him being mad and turn around, and I thought something was going to happen."
Dozens of police rushed to the area to try and control the crowd. Officers closed down roads from First to Fourth Avenues North and made everyone in sight leave the beach and kept a heavy police presence on the streets and near the pier until almost midnight.
Jacksonville Beach Police Chief Patrick Dooley said the man one the ground in the video suffered a dislocated shoulder and is still in the hospital. He said it's unclear what the fights were all about.
No arrests were made Monday night, but police are trying to identify suspects from the video.
Businesses were allowed to stay open, but some locked their doors because there was a backlash at first over the evacuation.
The Pier Cantina and Sandbar on Facebook issued an apology to customers for having to close early on Sunday and Monday evenings, citing safety reasons.
"This decision was made due to the unsafe environment that was present in the downtown and boardwalk area of Jacksonville Beach. The safety of our staff and customers is our #1 priority and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that goal is met. I would ask for all Jacksonville Beach residents to share this post as to raise awareness of this increasingly growing problem."
City Councilman Keith Doherty, who's also the general manager of the Lynch's Irish Pub at Jacksonville Beach, said fights like these threaten to damage the beach's image.
"It's hard for me as an elected official to promote the positive image of Jacksonville Beach," Doherty said. "This is such an important time in our community. We thrive on tourism."
Dooley said that in response to community concerns about the safety of the beach, police plan on having a stronger presence in the weeks to come.
"We want people to understand when you come out here to Jacksonville Beach to visit us, please bring your manners," Dooley said. "We are going to continue to put a heavy police presence on the weekends. We are addressing the quality of life issue and are going to stop any small fights as they start so they don't grow into bigger problems."
"It does ruin it for everybody else," Lebron said. "There are some people that don't want to come to the beach now, and that's not the crowd we typically see out here, honestly."
Beach residents created a Facebook group about voicing their concerns at a town hall meeting at City Hall at 6:30 p.m. Monday. However, the Police Department said there is no such meeting scheduled.

With spring training officially underway, the Indians have returned to familiar turf by looking for baseball bargains.
Saturday the Tribe signed 42-year-old designated hitter candidate Jason Giambi to a minor-league contract. Sunday they did the same thing with 32-year-old pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Matsuzaka has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tribe, pending the passing of his physical. Assuming he passes the physical, Matsuzaka has agreed to a one-year $1.5 million contact if he is added to the Indians' 40-man roster. He also could earn $2.5 million in performance bonuses, based on games started and innings pitched.
Matsuzaka is the seventh player signed by the Indians who played for Tribe manager Terry Francona while he was the manager of the Boston Red Sox.
Matsuzaka pitched for Boston from 2007-2012. Francona was his manager from 2007-2011. Matsuzaka signed a six-year $52 million contract with the Red Sox, for whom he had a record of 50-37 with a 4.52 ERA.
He will compete for a spot in the Indians' flimsy starting rotation, which was one of the worst in the majors last year. The only certainties in the rotation are Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, and Brett Myers.
The last two spots in the rotation will go to the winners of a spring training competition. Matsuzaka would join a group of candidates that includes Zach McAllister, Trevor Bauer, Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Scott Kazmir, and David Huff.
Matsuzaka's best year in Boston was 2008, when he went 18-3 with a 2.90 ERA. He underwent Tommy John surgery in June of 2011, and hasn't been the same pitcher since. He was 3-3 with a 5.30 ERA in 2011 before his surgery.
In 11 starts last year for the Red Sox Matsuzaka was 1-7 with an 8.28 ERA.

Hi all,
I am planning to apply for M.Int Arch for Fall 2014 in US . I have a B.Arch degree from India- graduated in 1999 and have been working as a Interior Architect for about 13 yrs now.... I have a million questions to ask.And i I'll start this thread with the first few.......
I am presently researching colleges to apply and so far have narrowed down to Pratt ; Parsons;UT-Austin; SAIC; Kansas state ; Arizona state;Iowa state; Univ of Oregon.
1. Are there any other schools that offer better programs ?
2. What sort of Jobs would one be able to get post - graduation ? ( will it be like a FF&E specifier sort Or will it be an Interior designer sort ? )
3. I want to concentrate on design based courses rather than research based design critique / art history sort of courses - Is that the difference between a M. Int. arch & say MFA in Interior design / MS in Interior design?
More questions later......
( thanks in advance to all those busy busy ppl who I hope will take some time out to help me )
I think the SAIC master in architecture with emphasis in interior architecture is best. They give good scholarships and grants I was interested in this program and received well over 70 % funding with acceptence but I choose to go to another school (mistake) and the best part is it is a NAAB accretided architecture degree so if you ever choose you can get your architectural license and not limit yourself to just the interior designers registration which from what I see is pretty much useless. You can also apply to the 2 year program since you have a b.arch so you will get interior trained and a architectural degree which will allow you to become registered if you so ever choose, the school is also amazing it is one of the best fine arts schools in the country and they do not have grades and you pretty much get to make your own program up as much as allowed in accredited program. Also they have a strong industrial design program and emerging technologies digital computation program so lots of cool classes dont waste your time at others go to saic
Thanks for your input,Beepbeep.
But I think SAIC is way over my budget.Its the most expensive school from my list at about 55k a year for non-residents. What you think of the other schools in my list? In terms of school & the programs they have? Do you have any idea about them?Or Can you recommend any other school / program.
Saic will give generous grants and scholarship in my exp. I was offered about 35-40k scholarship and grants , so don't not apply I do not know to much about the other schools Pratt is always good however the cost of living in NYC is high Oregon seems to be a good program as well and have you checked out risd they have a 3 semester master of interior architecture I believe.
Just out of curiosity, did you consider looking at any of the rankings? I think Parsons is the only one that even gets a number from your list.
As a former student (undergrad) at SAIC I might be able to shed some light on the program. They rake in a ton of money with high tuition, so they can offer good scholarships to people who actually deserve them. If you are deserving of a scholarship however, you are probably too talented to find any use in their program. It is young, experimental, and while I wish it the best in the future as it continues to find its footing, it is not worth your time or your money to go there for design. Fine art, photography, performance, etc, SAIC is great, but the AIADO program has a serious Identity crisis that paying students bear the brunt of. Their Interior Arch program is better than their M-Arch program, but nonetheless, I wouldn't recommend either. There is no leadership in the administration and while they have great resources and some good faculty, I think that I would still look elsewhere if I were you.
It might be right for some people, but for someone with as much experience as you, I think its probably not worth it.
Thanks guys.
So which school do you all recommend ? in Interior architecture that will let help me qualify for the ncidq exam.
I want to do a masters degree that will help me qualify for a certification exam eventually.
Is it even worthwhile applying for a interior architecture degree or I should just ditch the thought & purse M.Arch I ?
M.Arch all the way. More options afterwards and a more in-depth education. Interior Architecture is just a saleman's tactic to make interior design sound more than it is. Why is it, snyde comments aside, that no-one is content that they feel they need to rename/rebrand the same thing in order to "fit-in"?
Either way, an M.Arch is more than sufficient for NCIDQ.
hello everyone,
I just joined this forum. I have completed my B.ARCH from MUMBAI(India) and currently working in a firm since a month. Design aspect interests me a lot, hence im sure i wana study masters in Interior Architecture. I want to pursue this from the U.S. - a list of colleges which i'am mentioning below, also a set of questions.
colleges: Boston architectural college/Cal poly ponoma/ academy of art/ Rhode island school of design/ School of art ,insti, of Chicago.These are a few of the best available.
1-Do we need to have work experience before applying for masters. Does it count to get admission and also jobs later. Since i have heard that non experience individuals do not get a job/or find it difficult. 2-all these universities promise placements. do these internships turn into jobs if u perform well , or they sack you after a period of time.(the job market is my primary concern as it will be investing time and money in huge quantities.) 3-interior design and interior architecture will give u the same scope of work as a professional? 4- In today's time which is a better degree to enhance your design skills, considering architecture concentrated on the technical s more.
Are you sure you want to block this user and hide all related comments throughout the site?

Defense attorney Robert Lindemeier said Wednesday that top officials at Maxwell school found no reasonable cause that a child had been subjected to sexual abuse, after a thorough investigation.
The Nebraska State Patrol handed out the citations, related to suspected assaults among boys on the wrestling team.
The suprising announcement sparked speculation about the extent of the alleged abuse.
Lindemeier responded on his clients' behalf, issuing a prepared statement.
These individuals maintain that they followed school policy and Nebraska law, Lindemeier said. They obtained accounts of what happened from several students. They investigated the allegations and determined there was no reasonable cause that a child had been subjected to abuse.
The alleged victim and his mother told the school employees more than once that the abuse did not happen, and currently, the alleged victim and his mother deny any abuse ever took place, Lindemeier said.
A video that allegedly was taken of three wrestlers abusing another wrestler at a 2011 camp has not been produced, Lindemeier said.
The woman who reported the video said it was on the victims phone, he said. She actually never saw the video, but was only told about it. When the school was made aware of the video, they investigated. Among questioning several students, they directly asked the alleged victim and his mother about the video. They were told the video did not exist.
in April, the Nebraska State Patrol in conjunction with the Lincoln County Attorneys Office and the State Health and Human Services Department picked up the investigation. On July 30, investigators obtained a warrant to search administrative records.
Twarling, Boucher and Jones were cited on Sept. 4.
In announcing the citations, the State Patrol said there is potential for more victims, citations and/or arrests.
Lindemeier said his clients investigated appropriately and have cooperated with law enforcement during the State Patrol investigation.
He said there was never any attempt to cover up any abuse.
All allegations of abuse are taken seriously by the Maxwell High School employees. They believe they have followed the proper steps in this case, Lindemeier said.

I gotta wonder what TV/Movies/Music people are watching/listening too, if they consider air humping over the line. The NBA is pretty tame when looking at the rest of what's on the tube.
Give me this:
Over this:
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
That's as may be, but the latter is the point of the whole thing (whether offensive or not), while the former thrusts (sic) its way into something that is entirely separate. I can choose not to watch Haley. Hard to make that choice in the middle of a basketball game.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
The fact that you haven't seen it yet pretty much makes my point.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Lance has shown himself to be very amenable to guidance from above. I suspect we'll see a lot less of the dance in the future. More swooping eagle (or whatever that is) maybe.
[~]) ... Cheers! Go Pacers!
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
No, he should not. Absolutely not!
I only wish Tyler had worked out here, because he has a way of pi$$ing off opponents too.
At the beginning of the season I probably would have agreed that Lance needs to tone it down a little, but something happened recently that's made me re-think things.
When we played Boston at home at the end of December, Lance moonwalked his way to a triple double. During the game Tommy Heinsohn was upset with Lance's dancing, and the next day I heard another Boston homer, possibly Bill Simmons, complaining about Lance. Now I get that it can be annoying to have someone beat you and then pelvic thrust in your face, but you had Kevin Garnett for ten years! Some of the stuff KG pulls is straight disrespectful, and you're complaining about a Lance shimmy? All this made me realize teams are gonna get mad no matter what when you beat them, complaining about Lance is something they can get self-righteous about and pretend like they care about the sanctity of the game. They don't care about it when they're winning, it's just an easy thing to complain about when they lose.
The Heat treated Rajon Rondo like a human punching bag for two seasons. The Spurs with Bruce Bowen were running a hit squad on opposing players, hurting guys on purpose. KG is a psychopath. The other teams got mad, and these guys won titles.
So if Lance wants to put a little flavor in his game, I'm all for it.
Every group needs a wildcard. Lance is our Charlie Kelly
Lance is awesome. Stop trying to find ways to not like him. If he wants to be confident let him be confident.
I'm a Beast
Lance can do whatever he wants to so long as whatever it is
doesn't get him tee'ed-up. I absolutely love watching the
Sir Lancelot show.
We would not be where we are without Lance's energy. It's irreplaceable. See the Atlanta game. How Lance channels his energy is by doing some of the antics. I have 0 problems with it as long as it's clean and not affecting team chemistry.
As far as the thrusting, I feel like he did this in the moment and knew he probably shouldn't. On the fast break with JR Smith I felt like he was going to do it again but stopped himself.
Lance does something pretty minor after he makes a great play. I think a big part of the reason it gains attention is because the play was spectacular...not that his antics are that extreme. I would say the hip thrust was a bit much But much of what he does isn't that different from other players. It's his game that is spectacular.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Guys, that was not a hump. Its called a hip roll. Its a dance.. it was harmless. I mostly lurk here these days, and I'm glad these are the kind of things we're concerned about instead of wondering why we can't get a win streak going.
I don't care if Lance celebrates or not as long as he continues to do what he's doing in a Pacers uni.

Twins drive up score early, but bullpen can't hold on
Mauer paces offense with two doubles and two RBIs
MINNEAPOLIS -- Given the bullpen's success so far this season, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire trusted his relievers to protect a three-run lead against the Orioles heading into the seventh inning.
But it wasn't to be, as Josh Roenicke, who entered with a 1.69 ERA, gave up three runs in the seventh and Anthony Swarzak, who carried a 2.37 ERA into the game, surrendered three more in the 10th.
It handed the Twins perhaps their most frustrating loss of the year, as they couldn't hold a six-run lead, with Manny Machado hitting the go-ahead RBI single in the 10th inning to lift the Orioles to a 9-6 win on Friday night at Target Field. It was the first time the Twins blew a six-run lead since doing so against the Indians on Sept. 24, 2011.
"We had them where we wanted them," Gardenhire said. "But we just ran out of bullets there at the end after our starter went out of the game. But our bullpen has been pretty good, so we'll take our chances with them. It just didn't work out for us tonight."
Swarzak, who was the last remaining reliever available for the Twins with Glen Perkins, Brian Duensing and Ryan Pressly out, gave up a leadoff single to Chris Dickerson before Nate McLouth hit a bloop single to put runners at the corners with one out in the 10th.
Machado then gave the Orioles their first lead of the night with an RBI single to right field. Nick Markakis added a sacrifice fly before Machado scored on an RBI single from Adam Jones to give the Orioles two insurance runs.
"It's not a club that panics," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I've told you many times. It's a mature group. Even though it's the youngest team in our division. They stay within each other and do what they do."
It came after the Twins jumped all over Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel en route to a 6-0 lead by the fifth inning.
The Twins got on the board in a hurry, scoring in the opening frame on an RBI groundout from Josh Willingham after Jamey Carroll singled and Joe Mauer doubled. They added two runs in the second, when Mauer laced a two-run single back up the middle with two outs and the bases loaded.
Ryan Doumit extended the lead with a sacrifice fly in the third before Minnesota finally chased Hammel from the game with a two-run fifth, keyed by a two-run double from Trevor Plouffe to score Willingham and Justin Morneau.
Hammel, who was looking for his sixth road of the season, was denied, as he gave up six runs on eight hits over four-plus innings.
The six-run lead wasn't to be, as the Orioles rallied for three runs in both the sixth and seventh innings. Right-hander Mike Pelfrey cruised through five scoreless frames before struggling in the sixth. He gave up four doubles in the inning, including RBI doubles from Chris Davis, J.J. Hardy and Dickerson. Gardenhire called the double from Davis a catchable ball from Oswaldo Arcia in right field, but he couldn't make the play near the wall.
Pelfrey exited after six innings and picked up his second straight quality start, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over six frames.
"I didn't feel that good," Pelfrey said. "My offspeed stuff wasn't very good. The thing that kept me in the ballgame and go as far as I did was my sinker. It was really good and let me get through six. But my secondary stuff wasn't as good as I liked."
Roenicke couldn't hold the lead, as he gave up three runs in the seventh. McLouth led off the inning with a double, and scored on a throwing error from Plouffe on a bunt single from Machado, who advanced to second on the errant throw. Markakis made it a one-run game with an RBI single before coming around to score on a game-tying RBI double from Davis.
"Roenicke just couldn't get the ball where he wanted to," Gardenhire said. "The ball was just up, up, up."
With the bullpen's struggles, the Twins saw their three-game win streak come to an end while the Orioles improved to 22-14 on the year.
"You have to remember the offense over there too," Gardenhire said. "That's a heck of a baseball team over there. They can run some hitters up there at you and ambush you. They got some clutch hits and that's kind of what they're known for."

Rules of the Game: Head in the Clouds
It's fairly predictable that a bad company report will unleash a flood of punditry predicting doom for the company's entire sector.
In the case of tech, the doom-and-gloom predictions are a bit muddled: Companies such as Amazon (AMZN) get lumped in with tech, even though they may be retailers or content providers using the Internet and mobile apps as channels. Tech is traditionally a growth sector, although the sector can also decline more than the major indices in a broad market pullback.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Jessica is a modified gown from a red halter dress I found at a thrift store. I already had the gloves, wig & heels. I only had about half a day to come up with this outfit for a Red Valentine's Day ball at an goth club I frequent. I tried wearing a corset under the gown to help give me more of the coke bottle shape Jessica has, but the boning & rivets were visible through the fabric. When I have more time, I ideally want to redo the gown & make it from slinky sequin fabric so it's more accurate. But for 4 hours of work, it's not bad. My boobs are totally being held into that gown with 3 different kinds of tape that are about 15 yards long. Hahaha, I wish I was joking.
- Personal Thoughts:
- Jessica is normally a character I don't think I can pull off. I'm 5 foot 3, my legs don't go all the way up to my shoulders & I don't have DD boobs & a 20 inch waist. That being said, I did my best to make it work & I don't think she turned out too bad.

GONZALES — The top law enforcement officer in Ascension Parish offered a scathing critique of the Gonzales Police Department's handling of a high-speed pursuit on Tuesday that ended with two alleged shoplifters dying in a head-on collision in Iberville Parish.
Ascension Parish Sheriff Jeff Wiley said "enough is enough" to a department he said has seen at least five deaths as a result of fatal high-speed chases in the past six months alone.
"Most of this is not brain surgery; it's not solving the fiscal cliff," Wiley said on Wednesday. "There are models for high-speed pursuit policies that are everywhere."
The latest fatal accident occurred around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday in St. Gabriel following a high-speed pursuit that originated at the Tanger Outlet Center in Gonzales.
Kevdrinka T. Williams, 25, of Baton Rouge, and Tremaine R. Wickem, 20, of New Orleans, both were killed after Williams lost control of her vehicle on La. 30 near La. 74 in St. Gabriel. Williams was trying to evade Gonzales police when she attempted to pass several vehicles along the westbound shoulder on La. 30, but she lost control of the vehicle, crossing the center line and colliding head-on with a truck, Louisiana State Police spokesman Jared Sandifer said.
The driver of the truck, Warren Porta III, 34, of Gonzales, and his passenger, Bradley Nolan, 48, of Geismar, both sustained moderate injuries in the crash.
Details about what led to the pursuit remained sketchy Wednesday, as Gonzales police officials remained mum on the subject. Department spokesman Sgt. Steven Nethken said Wednesday that an internal investigation was ongoing and department officials likely wouldn't comment on the matter for awhile.
Police Chief Sherman Jackson said that he wouldn't address specifics about the incident while the investigation was still under way.
"At heart, we don't want to cause harm to anyone," Jackson said. "That's any police officer. We're here to protect and serve. On the other hand, we try to use good, sound decision in a few seconds. It's easy for a regular person to sit back and Monday-morning quarterback this thing, which I find is unfair. It is what it is. I understand it."
The city's attorney, Ryland Percy, released a copy of the department's "Pursuit Driving Policy" following a public records request. Jackson said the policy will be reviewed to determine if it was followed during Tuesday's pursuit.
That policy, in part, states that police officers will not handle many situations that require a greater sense of skill, judgment and common sense than police pursuits.
"The major objective of the department is the protection of life and property," the six-page policy reads. "This procedure is written to eliminate injuries and deaths of police officers and citizens as a result of vehicular pursuits."
Wiley, however, said that in recent months, the Police Department hasn't used the best judgment in its pursuits. The majority of times, he said, high-speed chases are avoidable, and the Sheriff's Office takes every precaution to prevent them.
"This is common sense," Wiley said of his agency's pursuit policy. "It didn't take NASA to write this thing. It speaks to danger. It speaks to being able to identify the violators. It speaks to the quality or value of the violator measured against the safety of the violator and the general public."
Although Gonzales police officials, citing the advice of the city attorney, have refused to give their side of the story, Wiley said he had a general knowledge of the events that led to the pursuit.
The sheriff said Williams and Wickem were stopped in the Tanger parking lot after allegedly shoplifting some clothes from one of the stores at the mall. While an officer ran background checks on the suspects, they fled the scene in Williams' vehicle.
The identity of the suspects was known before the pursuit started, Wiley said, and the crime they allegedly committed was a misdemeanor. It wasn't a rape, murder, robbery or even a burglary, he said.
"Their grand crime was they stole some clothes at Christmas," Wiley said.
The Gonzales Police Department's policy states that "officers involved in a pursuit must continually question whether the seriousness of the violation reasonably warrants continuation of the pursuit."
Not only did the suspects die, but bystanders also were put in harm's way because of the pursuit, the sheriff said.
"Thank God it wasn't four fatalities," Wiley said.
Jackson said he didn't think Wiley was being fair in his criticism. One of the fatalities, he said, was a DWI suspect at 2 a.m. with minimal traffic. If Gonzales police officers did not pursue the suspect, Jackson said, they would have been putting other drivers at risk.
"When placed in that position, you always second-guess yourself, whether you end the pursuit or continue it," Jackson said.
Wiley said he planned to meet with Jackson, whom he called a friend, to discuss the continued damage caused by high-speed chases in Ascension Parish. He called the Gonzales Police Department "a rich department" that didn't have any excuses for the continued problems it's facing.
"I just want my city to get better," Wiley said. "I can't imagine how many bodies we've had dead in high-speed pursuits in Louisiana in the past five years. Ten? And five have happened in the past six months here? That shocks everybody's conscience."
