Sentences were handed down Wednesday for three central Nebraska people who swindled nearly 200 victims in a $16 million investment scheme.
Stella Levea, 55, and James Masat, 67, of Grand Island were both sentenced to 97 months in prison and Kenneth Mottin, 56, of St. Libory received a sentence of 5 years from United States Senior District Judge Richard G. Kopf.
In addition, they are jointly and severally liable to pay restitution to the 192 victims in the amount of $16,607,263.85.
All three were convicted of mail fraud.
According to U.S. Attorney Deb Gilg, First Americans Insurance Services operated in Grand Island. From 2003-08 and previously, FAIS raised funds, in part by borrowing from private individuals.
Gilg said the lenders were told that a portion of the loaned money would be used to buy collateral in the form of an annuity which would grow in value, thereby insuring the lender would be able to recoup at least the principal loaned to FAIS. However, the defendants failed to purchase annuities as promised, using the money instead for other business and personal purposes.
In total, the defendants borrowed more than $27 million from private individuals with promises to secure those loans with an annuity. Some repayments were made, resulting in the restitution order for $16.6 million, Gilg said.
On Aug. 17, 2007, Masat and Levea on behalf of FAIS agreed to a Department of Banking prohibition on borrowing of new money from private lenders.
However, between Aug. 17, 2007 and Jan. 12, 2009, while prohibited from borrowing by the Department of Banking moratorium, FAIS continued to borrow an additional $31.68 million in new money loans from private lenders.
Gilg said FAIS filed for bankruptcy on Jan. 12, 2009 and no longer operates.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Nebraska State Patrol, the Nebraska Department of Banking and the Nebraska Department of Insurance.

Unlike last April, Dunn off to impressive start
MIAMI -- Last April didn't treat Marlins left-hander Mike Dunn too kind.
Dunn, then in his fourth season, held a 9.53 ERA through eight games, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits with six walks. It was punctuated by an effort in which he surrendered three runs in 2/3 innings against the D-backs.
As a result, the Marlins sent him to Triple-A New Orleans to work on his delivery.
"It puts everything into perspective," Dunn said. "In the heat of the moment, you don't realize what you have to do and you're sent down -- you got sent down for a reason and you've got to figure it out and make changes and adjustments. Last year was getting my mechanics back."
Other than a rough September when he gave up eight runs in seven innings, Dunn's return to the Majors included solid summer months: a 0.00 ERA in June, 2.25 in July and 2.00 in August.
Over his 12 appearances this season, the 27-year-old has maintained that momentum with a 2.45 ERA -- third-lowest on the team -- with just three earned runs in 11 innings. He has struck out 12 while walking only three.
More importantly, the southpaw has improved his numbers against left-handed hitters.
They have just five hits (two for extra bases) in 23 at-bats for a .217 batting average. In 2012, lefties went 27-for-92 (.293) with seven doubles and two home runs.
"It's from throwing more strikes with all my pitches, not just my fastball," Dunn said. "Last year I was throwing strikes with my fastball but nothing else. Everyone was just waiting for my fastball and if I missed a spot, I got hit. This year if I'm not hitting my spots with my fastball, I've got my breaking stuff and it helps out a lot."

Just found this forum and I am looking forward to being a contributing member.
I am on holiday in Bangkok (have been here for almost 3 weeks). I flew here from Baghdad, Iraq where I work but Texas is home.
I have been interested in Buddhism for many years but my holiday here and meeting some phenomenal people has deepened my desire to know more about and practice the belief.
Today I went to a meditation class and received so much peace and knowledge and it has only whetted my desire to learn more.
Thank you for allowing me to share your place and hope to learn more from the knowledgeable individuals that call this home.

The Shield's leader to be revealed at WrestleMania
by, 03-09-2013 at 08:44 AM (17074 Views)
If it were up to me I would put a slight spin on Wrestlemania 29 by having the Shield state that WM29 they will reveal to the world their leader.
Several individuals will have their finger pointed at thinking that their the leader including and especially Big Show, Orton and Sheamus who will team up to face the Shield in a 6 man tag at WM29.
Over the few remaining weeks leading up to Mania their will be a 'who is it' angle with everyone blaming everyone.
During the Mania PPV there will be 3 separate teasers about the Shield revealing their leader. 1- will have Paul Heyman come out to the Shield's music..only to reveal that it aint him. 2-Brad Maddox will come out to the Shield's music, but only to reveal it aint him. 3- At the end of the Shield's 6 man tag team win over TBS, Orton and Sheamus- the Shield will state that the leader will be revealed sometime tonight but not know because right now U CANT SEE HIM...ugh!
At the end of the Rock -John Cena match John Cena will cleanly pin the Rock and they will congratulate each other on a great match and hug and embrace only for the Shield's music to hit and it looks like it may be the Rock who is the leader only for Cena to suddenly have a smug look on his face and have the Shield attack The Rock and Cena embraces the Shield as he is announced as the winner. On RAW Cena will open up the show to his original music but then along with the Shield throw his hat, wristbands, etc in a trash can to incredible heat.
Also the Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swaggar match will actually close Mania and be a phenominal one on one match with Swaggar pinning Del Rio, but Dolph Ziggler coming in at the last minute hitting Swaggar with the briefcase and cashing in winning the World Title. Ziggler straight off of a split with AJ because he lost his match with Jericho earlier in the night is now a good guy and hears the cheers as we close Mania to Dolph raising his hand in victory with the title.

New York -- Facebook has added a new service, called Gifts, which allows Facebook users in the United States to buy gifts for their friends on the social media platform. The new feature, rolled out just in time for the holiday shopping season, has the potential to give Facebook an ongoing supply of valuable personal information.
To power the Gifts service, Facebook rented a warehouse in South Dakota and created its own software to track inventory and shipping, according to the New York Times. The company did not disclose how much it earns from each purchase made through Gifts.
One of the appeals of Facebook Gifts is the ease of making a purchase. Facebook users are urged to buy a present via a gift-box icon that pops up for Facebook friends on their birthdays. Users can choose from an array of products, ranging from cup cakes and chocolate to magazine subscriptions and clothing. They are asked to choose a greeting card and to provide a credit card details.

The King, in my experience, does not match up with the stated flight ratings at all. It's farther off than any other disc I've thrown. I use it for backhand rollers or hyzer flips that I throw with a BIG hyzer angle.
Good to know. Any reason it wouldn't be a contender for max distance? I wasn't sure if it fell out too soon because of how wide the rim is.

The outcome of a $1.9 million case involving money allegedly owed to a New York produce wholesaler could hinge on when the wholesaler obtained its Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act license.
Belleza Fruit Inc., Yorktown, N.Y., filed the PACA trust action in federal court June 18, naming Long Island Banana Corp., Lynbrook, N.Y., as the defendant. The suit also lists Suffolk Banana Co. Inc., Yaphank, N.Y.
The case names Thomas Hoey Jr. as a defendant, identifying him as the person controlling the day-to-day operations of the banana companies.
Belleza Fruit contends Suffolk Banana Co. Inc. owes $242,239 and Long Island Banana Corp. owes $1.75 million for produce it received from Sept. 27, 2010, through June 11 this year. In the complaint against the banana companies, Belleza officials state that their company was a duly licensed dealer under PACA "at all pertinent times."
However, in an exhibit attached to the complaint, a copy of the PACA license for Belleza shows that the company did not receive a PACA license until March 21 this year.
In an answer to the complaint, Hoey contends Belleza not only wasn't licensed under PACA, but that it failed to satisfy the prerequisite notice and other procedural and statutory requirements for establishing a PACA Trust against his companies.
On June 21, Judge Sandra Feuerstein ordered Long Island Banana Corp. to obtain a $450,000 bond by June 25. She also set an initial conference hearing in the case for July 19.
Hoey's companies are also named in at least two other federal court cases filed by produce companies seeking payment under PACA.
Pacific Fruit Inc., Newark, N.J., contends it is owed $413,912 for produce sold to Long Island Banana from July 2, 2010 through April 27, 2011.
Fruit Importers Americas Inc., Newark, N.J. contends Long Island Banana owes it $64,800 for produce sold in October 2011.

STOURBRIDGE boxer Steven Pearce faces a period on the sidelines after being diagnosed with inflammation of the lungs.
The International Masters Welterweight Champion was due to step back in the ring at a bumper show at Walsall Town Hall in May.
The 29-year-old former Midlands Area Champion was hoping to bounce straight back from his narrow British Masters defeat to Ryan Hardy earlier this month.
After that fight, Pearce complained of chest pains and was put on a course of antibiotics. Still unable to train, he sought further medical advice and was diagnosed with inflamed lungs pending further tests next week.
"I'm gutted," he said. "My career has been based on comebacks and I was hoping to make an immediate come back from the Hardy defeat.
"When I lost in Prizefighter I went on to win the Midlands Area Title, when I lost that to Sam Eggington, I came back to beat Rob Hunt. After the Hardy loss, I was determined to get straight back in the ring and atone for that defeat.
"The comeback is on hold until I'm fully recovered, which won't be in time to fight in May. It's a shame but I need to get myself right first. I can't train at the moment so I'm just resting.
"I'm hoping to be back in June or July," he added.
Pearce has been replaced on 'Mayday! Mayday!' show at Walsall by stablemate Kyle Spencer. The Dudley light middleweight lost for the first time earlier this month and will be looking to make an immediate return to winning ways.
'Mayday! Mayday!' is headlined by British Masters and Midlands Area Light Middleweight Champion, Jason Welborn, and Walsall's Luke Paddock.
Welborn takes on an International opponent over ten rounds whilst Paddock will be looking to build on his recent British Bronze Masters Light Welterweight Title victory.
Tickets, priced at £30 and £60, are available from Walsall Town Hall's box office on 0845 111 2900.

A Minnesota man has been being acquitted of charges stemming from the state's restrictions on raw milk sales.
Raw milk supporters hail the decision as a victory for consumer freedom, but state officials suggest that the decision does not eliminate the risks involved with raw milk consumption.
Alvin Schlangen, an organic egg producer, had been charged with distributing raw milk, operating without a food handler's license and handling adulterated food, according to a report from the Associated Press. The defense argued that Schlangen, who doesn't produce milk on his farm, was the middleman for a voluntary and legal association of consumers who lease cows from nearby Amish farms.
After more than four hours of deliberation, a jury found Schlangen not guilty on all three counts.
Schlangen's supporters claimed a victory for food freedom.
Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) officials also responded to the verdict through a statement available here.
"This narrow ruling does not wipe away the fact that many children and adults have gotten dangerously sick from consuming raw milk. It also does not wipe away the other legal rulings that have upheld MDA enforcement actions. Protecting the integrity of our food supply remains our top priority, and Minnesotans expect us to do that job using modern science and the law as our guide. We will continue to work in their best interests," the statement said.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
If you're a fussy eater then you may have to make peace with the idea that your child may be a fussy eater too. Lead by example and try to expand your diet to show him that you enjoy a wide variety of foods.
Your child is more likely to eat a meal he has helped to make.
Make sure that your child understands what is expected of him when he eats.
By including a few differently coloured foods on his plate, he may become more interested in his food. If he has food favourites, include them and work from there.
Being actively involved in eating - rather than sitting passively receiving food - will encourage him to take an interest in the food he's being served.
If your child doesn't like milk, try offering yoghurt or cheese.
Once your child has eaten as much of a meal as he's going to, take away his plate and finish the meal. This will discourage him from drifting away from the table with the expectation that he can drift back later to pick at his food.
Your child is not a small adult and you can't expect him to eat like an adult.
He can always ask for a second helping! Generally serve three small meals a day, with a snack in between.
Let your fussy eater exercise a little power at mealtimes. Would she like pumpkin or potato? Milk or water? Cheese or yoghurt? By choosing one food over another, you'll probably find that she'll be happier to eat the one she's chosen.

Wendy Williams Blames Lady Gaga For 'ARTPOP' Failure, Tells Her To 'Woman Up' [VIDEO]
Outspoken TV show host Wendy Williams has a pretty clear message for Lady Gaga: stop blaming others for the failure of 'ARTPOP,' and start blaming yourself. Whoa.
During 'The Wendy Williams Show' on Friday, Jan. 10, the host ripped into Gaga, telling her to stop casting the blame on her team and start taking some responsibility for 'ARTPOP's' disappointing sales.
"The idea that she's clearing house, though, seems to me that she's playing the blame game and not taking credit for part of the 'flop-ation' herself," Williams surmised. (Gaga recently split ways with long-time manager Troy Carter.)
"Well, woman up, Gaga!" the host declared. "Because you have some culpability in this, also."
In one of the most awkward moments in the clip, Williams asks the audience to clap if they own 'ARTPOP.' Only several audience members do so, while the rest sit in an uncomfortable silence. Yikes.
"You can blame other people and clean house, but you gotta look at the person in the mirror," Williams concluded.

I'm 90% forehand off the tee as I get more distance - although that is only comparing to noodle arm backhand.
Two things REALLY helped me what I was switching. The above mentioned snap. I thought I had snap but when I was looking at good throws bad throws the good ones I really concentrated on that snap at the end.
Also - keep that elbow close to your body.
I still get a little wobble at the start of the throw but I get better elevation and distance and accuracy when I really get a good snap.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR is going back to its roots this year with better-looking, old-school racecars and by racing trucks on dirt.
But one area where it went back to its roots Sunday wasn't planned.
NASCAR's new laser tech platform broke down early Sunday morning. That forced NASCAR to use the manual inspection procedures it has used in past years to check the chassis, frame rails, wheels, axles and steering geometry on the cars.
The change was not expected to delay Daytona 500 qualifying, which is scheduled for 1 p.m. today at Daytona International Speedway.
"We experienced some startup issues with our laser inspection platform—we are on a full mechanical backup measuring system," NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said Sunday morning.
"The two systems parallel one another. … From an inspection standpoint, we're in good shape."
NASCAR had taken the laser tech platform to a few different races last year in hopes that it could handle the wear and tear of being moved from race to race.
Tharp said he did not know if the temperatures in the mid-30s impacted the system.
The laser platform had been in development the last 18 months. It was never intended or designed to save time or replace officials.
"It's solely for the purpose of enhancing the technology, or bringing technology to what we currently do to make it far more accurate, far more consistent (procedure) than what we had in the past," NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Director John Darby said earlier this month.
NASCAR hopes to have the laser platform ready for inspection for the Daytona 500 qualifying races Thursday.

Off the Charts
The S&P (SPY) closed the on the lows of its session as it finished negative for the fifth straight session. The S&P closed the day down 1.10%
As stated, this market is very dependent on a fiscal cliff resolution at this point. Headline-driven tapes can be hard to trade so if that is not your style it's fine to be hands off until there is more clarity to the situation. Yesterday's afternoon bounce is frustrating for traders across the board as it was strong enough for shorts to lighten up on their positions and for longs to test new buys. A cautious approach remains best until a fiscal cliff compromise gets ironed out....426 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

It takes guts to live with chronic pain
No, I'm not referring to intestinal fortitude, although that's a handy virtue to have if you have to live with daily pain. I am referring to the "real thing." Inside each of us are yards of intestines which do a job for us that we often take for granted; at least until we run into trouble. As a nurse I've experienced each and every aspect of the subject of guts, from beginning to end, if you know what I mean. There was even one very memorable experience when I was working alone in a small Emergency Room and a young father came in, clutching his toddler son to his white shirt and tie only to reveal the child's intestines were hanging out. A hernia repair had come undone. It was amazing how clean the intestines can be. It was an alarming experience, especially for the father, but the child was whisked into surgery and everything was put back in place.
I think I have "guts" on the brain since I just went fishing with my daughter and my two youngest grandchildren. It's been many years since I baited a hook with a squirmy, wiggly night crawler. Messy business, that. Fortunately, at least from my point of view, we didn't catch any fish or there would have been more guts to deal with. We are surrounded by that word, guts. We say, "No guts, no glory," or other expressions like "that was a gutsy move." In so many of today's movies the theme is definitely, "no guts, no gory;" so much blood along with the intestines all over the screen. We use phrases and words like "gutless" and "I've had a gut full." If you saw the film Braveheart several years ago you had the experience of seeing Mel Gibson being disemboweled, Hollywood style. I didn't find it very tasteful but that was the way they did things back in ancient times; just as long as the filmmaker didn't mess with Mel's tush. Now that would have been a travesty.
Most of us who live with daily pain have many aspects of this whole subject to consider. If we're on pain pills, as many of us are, then we have to worry about constipation, cramping and most dire of all, a gastrointestinal bleed or blockage. Both of the latter are good reminders and good scare tactics for following the instructions on the label of those pain pills. Still others of us with rheumatoid problems are on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, almost all of which come with a warning label. All of the prescription labels flash at us to remind us the medication must be taken with food or milk. NSAID's are definitely one of those treatments that go into the "if the disease doesn't kill you the cure might," category.
Over the years, while on NSAID's, many of us have experienced gastric bleeding. This is always alarming, and should be watched for by each of us. Look for tarry colored dark stools or any signs of cramping in the stomach, which would be under the ribcage, or further down in the gut; and if you're vomiting blood, get thyself to a hospital as fast as your legs will carry you. That is not something to be ignored, ever.
Another irritating gut problem many of us experience is the presence of that little "bugger" H. Pylori bacterium. It's a bacterium that has been proven to be one of the causes of gastric or duodenal ulcers. If you're a "regular" here on the chronic pain blog, then you already know I've been battling it for the last ten months. I give up. I've decided if roughly 30% of the population has H. Pylori, then I'll just keep it. Four times I've gone through treatment. The treatment is multifocal, entailing the use of two antibiotics and one proton inhibitor, such as Prevacid or Nexium. Treatment usually lasts for fourteen days. All of those antibiotics are rough on the gut and I was always very faithful to the idea of replacing bad bacteria with the good by taking acidophilus, either in caps or in yogurt. Two of the four treatment periods I had trouble. Once I vomited so much I had to be hospitalized. That was the second treatment. The third time I developed severe vertigo and could hardly walk to the bathroom. Enough already. I'm not happy about this little stowaway onboard but am tired of trying to heft it overboard. The gastrointestinal doctor just told me to faithfully take the GI meds, which in my case is Aciphex. I'll be on the alert for any unusual cramping or other signs of trouble. I'll just put it on the list of daily things I have to do with, let's see, don't sit too much or I'll get a painful sitter due to inflamed sacroiliac joints and be awake all night; don't eat the wrong things or I'll stir up my IBS, don't get too much sun or I'll break out in a rash and have diarrhea, and the list goes on. It's simply too long to go into, even if I wanted to, which I do not.
Just think, in the depths of my unique brain, all this started with baiting a hook. I must share with you the wonderful fact that while we were fishing there was a bald eagle swooping and gliding overhead. They are so beautiful when they fly. Wish I could have soared with him but alas, I am stuck here on the ground, thinking about guts.

Alright, let's give this blog thing another shot...so, there is a lot of people debuting, coming back, etc. and I feel that there is a much bigger issue at hand, and that is the overflow of people vying for airtime on WWE-TV, so this is what I think should be done about a bunch of them;
- Mark Henry: Listen, I swear to god he should get an Oscar nomination for his performance on RAW,
Hey guys, I'm Airbourne, or AB. I don't do blogs very often, but I felt I would give it my take on what the WWE should go doing forward, with feuds, title fights, you name it and I hope you like it!
Returns - We've had Lord Tensai (A-Train) return, we've had Brock Lesnar return, heck, even HHH and Paul Heyman return. But we have many more coming. I have a good feeling Batista is coming

Hay season is just around the corner, and the importance of proper hay-sampling technique cannot be emphasized enough to ensure an accurate forage test. The "eyeball method" of determining forage quality just doesn't cut it if you're trying to balance the ration, says Phil Kaatz, with Michigan State University Extension.
The following key points can help you ensure an accurate forage test:
Identify a single "lot" of hay. A lot should be from a single cutting, a single field and variety, and generally less than 200 tons. Do not mix cuttings, fields, or hay types.
When do I sample? Samples should be taken as close to the time of feeding or point of sale as possible.
Use a coring device or probe. Hay probes generally have a 3/8- to 3/4-inch diameter shaft and are 12 to 24 inches long. Grab samples or flakes of hay should never be considered as a representation of the lot of forage. A sharp tip (serrated or not) that can cut through the sample should be used.
Take random samples. Avoiding bales that look good or bad is the idea to help remove any bias.
Have a minimum number of cores. Recommendations of 10 to 20 cores are adequate to represent most lots of hay. Larger lots of hay should have an increased number of cores (20 to 35) to ensure variation is kept to a minimum. Small square bales should have one core per bale whereas larger bales should be cored two to three times.
Use proper techniques. Sample the butt ends of square hay bales probing to the center of the bale. For round bales, sample on the round side probing toward the center of the bale. Sample size should total about half a pound.
Handle samples correctly. High moisture or wet samples should be double-bagged in sealed, plastic bags to ensure proper dry matter measurements. Samples should be shipped as soon as possible and kept from direct sun exposure.
To find a forage probe, the National Forage Testing Association has a listing of probes available for purchase at their website.
These procedures can help producers due to the fact that sampling variation is more variable than the labs that are doing the testing. They can only provide testing on what comes into their labs. A poor sample can never give the best results.

As some follows of Wire to the Ear know I moved from Berlin, Germany back to New York about three months ago. I bought an apartment in the city that needs a complete renovation. Not only do I have a new apartment to renovate I also bought a two car garage I am turning into what I hope will be an amazing studio. Because the apartment needs a complete gut my wife and I have been staying in the upstairs apartment in my mother's house in Rockland County. Rockland is a typical New York suburb just about 20 minutes north of the city. It's actually quite nice and I am very familiar with the area because I grew up here. The photo above is Ma's house.
When I was in College at Suny Purchase I took a class called Social Sciences in the Arts. I never forgot a lesson the professor thought was important. The basic gist was that no artist made any art without an audience in mind. This ties into my Rockland chat above because I've been doodling a lot music wise on my laptop over the past three months and realize I am making tunes for my mother and Doug (her husband). Little diddy's about the car they own, a song about the fact that my mother is top sales lady at her office and a song about Milo their dog. Milo is incredible cute (see photo below) but without a doubt is the boss here. He has these treats called "Dingos" which he demands often. When I say he demands them I mean it. A few of us will be in the kitchen talking and he will walk in, bark and growl loudly until someone gives him a Dingo. So without further ado here's the song I did called "Milo the Bad Dog":
Please keep in mind this is no way an official song or anything that I will ever release for sale. It's just a fun blip that took about 40 minutes last night. I used the few simple plug-ins I have on my laptop and I sang in the bedroom using the Macbook Pro's built-in mic. The drums are an Ableton Impluse with D16 Devastor on them. The synths are an old ReFx Vanguard and Fabfilter Twin.
Today when I got back from the gym the birds in the driveway were extra loud so I took a photo of the tree they were all in and recorded 30 seconds of audio for you. I used the Griffin iTalk app on my iPhone. You can hear the birds and cars going by on Route 340.
Something tells me when my apartment is ready I'm going to miss suburban life.

Long known for its popular Segway golf, the innovative Kierland Golf Club at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa has introduced yet another new way for golfers to enjoy the course by bicycle.
New golf bikes allow golfers to enjoy the game while getting a workout. Designed to create minimal impact on the course and maximum fun and fitness for the golfer, the bicycles feature small-diameter wheels and wide rubber tires and have two custom-designed golf bags mounted to the rear of the bike to carry a full set of clubs.
Nancy Dickens, director of golf at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, believes that many golfers are looking for fun, new ways to enjoy the game through innovative programs and products. She estimates that it takes an average of one hour to play nine holes when playing on bikes.

10 Gorgeous Green Living Rooms
The living room in writer Kevin West's house has to play four roles — lounge, library, dining room, and home office, but right now, the room is unfocused.
• I want a room where I can entertain and also work.
•I lived in Paris for years, and my furniture is flea-market "junque," but it feels somewhat formal for a 1931 Spanish house in Los Angeles.
•My aesthetic is all about patina, but the room is looking a little drab. The colors are muted, the fabrics are faded.
•The room needs more strength and contrast.
•I'm not a real big art guy, but it would be great to have more things on the walls.

Like many students, Maggie Crawford '16 planned an internship as part of her college experience. Unlike most others, her internship was also a study abroad international adventure—in India.
Maggie, who is studying international marketing, an individually planned major, worked as a structural advisor for the Mysore Resettlement and Development Agency (MYRADA). In her role, she was responsible for counseling on operations and organizational improvements in MYRADA's programs that benefit disadvantaged populations.
Maggie found this opportunity through Oglethorpe's Atlanta Laboratory for Learning (A_LAB), which helps students to put their classroom learning into practice by combining "real world" experiences in professional development, global education, civic engagement, and/or undergraduate research.
Internships abroad can be very different from those in the U.S., which Maggie found out firsthand. "You get to find out what it is like to work somewhere else and learn about the culture of their work," she says. "By combining travel abroad and internships, you just get a better sense of why you're there."
Maggie also faced challenges in acclimating to a different culture. "First, there was the language barrier," she says. "When I went, I learned a couple of words in Hindi, but I learned that they actually speak something called Kannada. So, it wasn't actually helpful at all. And, they'd never seen an American where I went, so they were always looking at me."
Maggie now uses her international internship experience to inform her contributions to classroom discussions. "It has shown me different perspectives," she says. "We were studying the temples in India in 'Art & Culture.' I actually got to see those, firsthand." Overall, she says her global experience "has made me more aware of the people around me."

Hi Everyone...
My images are not being picked up by the search engines.....can you please tell me what am I doing wrong here... ?
For example I have an image with a caption of "Fallen" here http://www.rajeevthomas.com/viewgallery.php?cid=3&pid=12
But when I search this image in google.com as "Fallen rajeevtomas.com" this image won't show up....
On another website of a professional photographer (Guy Tal) (he has the same kind of link structure or non seo friendly link structure) but if I do a search for an image like this with its name it shows up in google.com search page....
Here is the example , searching for image called 'on the range" Image Search
And it shows up like this link http://guytal.com/gtp/gallery/image.jsp?iid=de002250_b&gid=210&stid=0&mid=light&iidx=9
I don't know if this needs to mentioned, but I just recently added the image title to each html pages that is generated... I don't know if that's going to affect the search results on google.com....
It takes a while for Google to index content, and you don't have a lot of influence over how Google does that indexing. Also, new stuff often appears way down the list in searches. If you really want these images to be searchable, one thing you should do is name the image something like "fallen-tree.jpg" rather than "12.jpg", as the image file name is important.
Ralph.... thank you very much for your response. I will wait for Google to index the pages then. I am also working on changing the .php generated file names to seo friendly names..
Yes it is true that when the search engine crawler crawls your site images are not taken into account. So you should never bother about the images you are posting.
Hm, have you ever done a Google image search? You might get a surprise.
Sorry simonefletcher, that's bad advice.
In terms of optimising images, look at the file path (as mentioned above) and <alt> tags.
Your alt tag is currently this.....
alt='Fallen' /></a>
I'd look at changing this to something more "tree" related.
1. Don't be disappointed. Many of your pictures have been already indexed by google.Check it here:http://images.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGHP_enBE428BE428&q=site%3ahttp%3a%2f%2fwww.rajeevthomas.com&biw=1567&bih=648&sei=RAGnUObFCMHIhAepkYCwBg&tbm=isch
If this link does not work, simply search in google images this:site:http://www.rajeevthomas.com
2. The image in a page can't be indexed if the page has not been indexed.
Indexing and ranking at Google depends heavily of backlinks. Your site has only a few backlinks and some of them are no follow (useless for ranking).
I suggest you to collect many more dofollow backlinks to your site.
furthermore, I am not sure your tag works properly since I do not see it when the mouse goes on your picture. I do not know what is wrong (my PC or your tag).
The alt text should only be displayed if the image can't be, for whatever reason. Internet Explorer incorrectly shows the alt text when you hover over an image, but other browsers do not. If you want text to display on hover, you can add the title attribute to your images.
@Mr.Wolf... I did just change code so that 'alt' tags correctly displays with tag words.... thank you. Jasmina... thank you for the detailed reply. I did not know anything about 'backlinks'... I need to learn that. Are the alt tags supposed to be shown as we hover over images? Does that help search engines to pick up images? The images that are indexed already..(thnak you for the serach results) They are just the images from site's slideshow. The others in the gallery haven't been indexed yet may be? My images are generated by php ...is that a problem? Does that make it hard for search engines to pick up the images? @TechnoBear..thank you!! Right now ,IE shows the tag words but Firefox shows my link path! What is the correct way? Are tags supposed to be shown as we hover over? I have seen some websites with 'title' attribute also.... am I am supposed to do that? or is that a preference? Thank you for the help...
Search engines will use the alt text to help them index images. Browsers should not display the alt text on hover; as far as I know, the only one which does is IE. The only thing browsers should display on hover is a title, if present; including the title is optional. The main purpose of alt text is to replace the image if, for some reason, it cannot be viewed. The alt text will be read out to a blind user by their assistive technology, as will any title. If you do decide to use titles, then bear this in mind and don't use the same text for both alt text and title. As ever, build your site with your human visitors in mind, not the search engines. :)
Great advice TechnoBear!! Thank you so much!
Great as your images may be, and they are indeed very good, from a pure seo point of view, your site is a disaster because in "Google's eyes" it contains very little relevant, topical,useful information.It would be fairly simple to make a spectacular improvement in ranking by "redesigning" your site in something that is topical, structured and with a small amount of written, relevant info for each image.
Hi benbob..thank you for your reply. I am a total newbie in 'SEO' world... so I hope you don't mind me asking what do you mean by 'your site is a disaster'? Why do you say 'there is very little information'...what information is supposed to be there? And where ? On every page after every image or on the image head tags? After listening to the others here I was able to add an image title and keywords. On a positive note, after doing that some images are showing up in Google search
Google ranks sites according to the information they provide. As your site comprises for 90+% of images, the algorithms will judge it as very low useful information supply. You could be the world's number one winner of photo awards and display all your best photos, but algorithms would not be impressed.
To improve your seo results, each photo should have some photo comments, wording things like why the image is what it is, how you took the photo and so on.

Woman records tailgater
The Florida Highway Patrol says a motorist whipped out her cellphone and recorded the video over her shoulder while she was being tailgated in the left lane of a highway near Tampa, Fla.
The man in the pickup truck following behind the woman is eventually seen pulling up alongside, flashing an obscene gesture, moving his truck in front -- and then losing control of his vehicle, spinning out and crashing off the left side of the road as hubcaps go flying.
"Ha, ha, ha! That's what you get!" the woman cackles as she drives by the wreckage, still recording with her phone.
Insurers wouldn't be amused
Funny? Not really, says Loretta Worters, a vice president with the New York-based trade group the Insurance Information Institute.
"Insurance companies would find this video very alarming, on so many fronts," she says.
The driver of the pickup truck may be penalized by his insurance company the next time his premium is due. A news release from the Highway Patrol says charges against the man include careless driving -- a violation which can raise the cost of your car insurance by an average 27 percent, according to a recent study by InsuranceQuotes.com, a Bankrate-owned website.
(Other moving violations can bring even stiffer increases, the study found. For example, one conviction for driving under the influence will boost your auto rate by 93 percent, on average.)
No good-driver awards
The pickup driver was driving erratically, endangering the lives of other drivers as well as any pedestrians who may have been walking in the area, says Worters.
Insurance companies wouldn't be impressed with the other motorist's behavior either, she says. For starters, the woman shouldn't have been recording video while she was driving.
"She was giving the guy incentive to be more aggressive," Worters says, adding that the woman was lucky to avoid charges which could drive up her own car insurance rate.
What do you think? Is this video cool -- or a cautionary tale?

A FUNFAIR that will open on Friday in Hollins Grove Street in Darwen does have permission to operate, it has been confirmed.
It had been suggested that the caravans that had arrived on the vacant plot of land belonged to travellers, but it has now been revealed that they belong to travelling fairground company North West Funfairs.
A spokesman for the company confirmed that they had sought permission from the landowner, and their arrival in Darwen was completely above board.
The fair will be in town from this Friday, until next Sunday, April 6, before some of the rides will move on to Witton Park in Blackburn.
Kurt Hill from North West Funfairs said: "We have got permission from the landowner, we've used land on many of their sites, and we had the site cleaned before we came.
"This has put a dark cloud over this event, it's not very good for our business whatsoever.
"It is a travelling funfair, but we're not travellers, we're showmen.
"Everyone is welcome on the site to have a look around.
"We're presenting all the fun of the fair, it's not a traveller invasion.
"We're here to give pleasure, we're not here to upset anyone or to make any inconvenience for anyone.
"We just want to make a living and then go."
Although this is the fair's first visit to Darwen, the company is well established, and its rides are often seen in Bolton, where North West Funfairs is based.
Mr Hill said that all the rides have been tested and met neccessary safety standards, and that the company is covered by public liability insurance.
The rides are also checked every day before they are opened to the public.
The fair will be open from 5pm to 9pm on week nights, noon to 9pm on Saturdays, and noon to 6pm on Sundays.

I live in the depths of conservative England and my nearest access to a centre for Theravada is more than two hours away by car via a complicated route into the middle of nowhere serviced by no public transport. I only feel myself drawn down the Theravada path so wouldn't feel comfortable going to any of the other branches of Buddhism.
Can anybody point me in the direction of an online sangha please? I am very happy travelling the two hour car journey every now and then to visit and drop off my donations but I like to contemplate when I learn something or talk to somebody and it can be quite distracting on a long care journey. It's also an awful lot of fossil fuel to burn just for little old me.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope somebody can offer some advice.

Aramis settling back into routine at hot corner
MILWAUKEE -- Aramis Ramirez started at third base Sunday for the third consecutive game for the first time since returning from the disabled list on May 3.
Ramirez missed 23 games with a sprained left knee he suffered while sliding into second base against the D-backs on April 5.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said he talked to Ramirez on Saturday, and the third baseman said he wanted to play Sunday.
"It's nice to have him in there, in the lineup," Roenicke said. "Aramis is feeling a little better -- that's why we feel we can go another day with him. So we'll see what happens tomorrow, but he wanted to play today."
Ramirez entered Sunday hitting .308 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 15 starts since returning from the DL, but he has just two hits in his last four starts at third base.
On the season, the slugger is hitting .323 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 20 games and 19 starts at third base.

A COW has been destroyed after escaping from a farm between Calne and Lyneham this morning.
Wiltshire Police were called to an incident shortly before 9am after a member of the public reported that a bull was on the loose on the main road.
Members of the public were warned not to approach the animal while officers attended the scene.
It later transpired that the bull was in fact a cow.
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: "Wiltshire Police were called to an incident before 9am this morning following a report of a bull on the loose in Hilmarton, Calne.
"Following assistance from both local farmers and the public, it later transpired that the bull had been mistaken for a cow that was missing from a nearby farm.
"The cow was highly distressed and, after consultation with its owner, it was decided that the animal would be humanly destroyed as it placed members of the public at significant risk of danger.
"At 12:48pm, the animal was destroyed by a trained officer and subsequently Quakers Lane, just off the A3102 in Goatacre, was shut for 30 minutes while transportation of the animal's body was arranged."

Audio Damage is getting ready to release it's first instrument. It's a non-sample based drum synthesizer with sequencer. It has a random function and the VST version outputs MIDI so you can make your external hardware freak out too. Chris Randall and Co. make plug-ins with a very high fun factor so this one is surely going to be a winner.
"We haven't decided on a price, and I have no idea whatsoever as to when it will be done. We've got the synthesis all in place, but not "tuned," and the sequencer is about 80% complete…" – Chris Randall

2005 HACKING MASS Results
Cristian Guzman's Monkey Death CarHACKING MASS contest. As in previous years, we'll take a look at the most valuable team, the most popular team, and the winning team. For the uninitiated, check out the rules for this year's contest.
We have a few perennially valuable hacksters this year, as Darin Erstad, Tony Womack, Cristian Guzman, and Eric Milton form the first group of four players to make the All-Star team and be listed on 300 or more entries. There were four shockers this year, fewer than usual, as Jason Kendall, Mike Lowell, Eric Byrnes and Corey Patterson were listed on a total of 6 entries and accumulated the highest ESPN at catcher, third base, left field and center field. After you sort through the four proven hackers and the four surprises, we have World Series rookie and small ball aficionado Willy Taveras, followed by this year's MVP, Jose Lima. Props go out to the 89 entrants who pegged Lima's campaign at the beginning of the year.
This year's all-popular team features reputed glove men Mike Matheny and Doug Mientkiewicz, and a few speedster-turned-OBP-sinkholes like Tony Womack and Cristian Guzman. Interestingly, Scott Podsednik was the most popular choice for 2005 after we decided to ban Colorado pitchers. Of course, as the subject of an interesting trade, and a member of the World Champion White Sox, Podsednik's season has been covered in great depths both here and elsewhere and elsewhere. The third outfielder was free-agent-to-be Jacque Jones. Rounding out the team are the ever-popular pitchers Shawn Estes and Eric Milton. This year's all-popular team was good for an impressive 616 ESPN, good for almost 200 ESPN more than the average team.
Your Winner
This year, reader Sean Gilman managed to beat out all comers and post an 11 point lead over the eventual second place finisher. Sean easily wins the award for best team name to win the contest, as his Super Karate Monkey Death Car managed to score 767 ESPN. Sean's team features all-star and all-popular duo Guzman and Womack, as well as Matheny, Redman, Milton and Erstad. Also on his team was Sidney Ponson, the tenth-best player (Looking through the list of players shows that the most massive hacksters were pitchers).
Sean said that the last few weeks of the season were exciting. After Ponson had been left out to dry--and stopped accumulating ESPN for his squad--Sean's opponents started closing the gap. He credits MVP Jose Lima's "miracle quality start" in late Septemer, which dropped his ERA from 7.11 to 6.99--a pretty impressive feat that late in the season--for propelling him into first for good.
When asked about strategy, Sean notes that "all of them are fairly obvious choices," and claims that he didn't have a specific strategy. He ended up with the right combination of guys hacktastic enough to take home HACKING MASS hardware. He also wanted me to add that his favorite anecdote is that after winning HACKING MASS, he finished 1081 out of 1092 in Predictatron, which we'll take a look at next time.
Best Loser
We would be remiss if we failed to acknowledge the growing competition to have the most negative ESPN. Of course, you don't get anything other than your name at the bottom of the standings, but this year, PhillyGuy managed to have -586 ESPN thanks to obvious efforts.
Next time out, we'll take a look at the first annual Predictatron and see how the field fared.

Plans to build 90 new houses at Mabe have stalled this week after the deadline for a decision to be made on the application came and passed.
The controversial plans, which sparked a heated exchange between villagers and developers at a public meeting last month, would see a mix of 12 flats and 78 two, three or four bedroom houses built on land between Treliever Road and the A39.
Cornwall Council's "determination deadline" for the planning application was Friday, January 11 but a decision has yet to be made on whether the proposals can get the green light.
A spokesperson for the council said: "It is likely to go to the planning committee for a decision in due course."

How well do you think David will play in his second season? He had some good games his rookie season, I hope next season he hits the boards a little better and cuts down on the fouls, if possible.
Here's what I think...
Harrison will be playing much more next season. Pollard's expiring deal and the draft pick will be traded (we don't need more youth) for a solid backcourt veteran. Initially, Dale will start, Foster will be the back up, and Harrison will get spot minutes. Dale is no youngin' though, so his minutes will gradually reduce and eventually Harrison will be either the back up or starter and Dale will get the spot minutes. This could happen next year or over the course of the next couple seasons, but I see Dale getting phased out and Harrison taking his place.
I think Harrison will do well. He probably will have learned a lot during practice and the offseason and his size will help us greatly. I can't wait to see him take up space in the paint.
He'll start to be big for us next year(pun intended). His big body and post scoring will allow Jermaine to step back a bit and go against 4's again. Hopefully he learns from Dale how to set killer picks. I think he replaces Pollard early and Davis later and is a rotation regular by midseason.
Harrison has to get in great NBA basketball condition first. And we can talk

This year will bring further declines in U.S. beef supplies, and total meat and poultry supplies also will fall short of last year according to the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE). The WASDE projections for 2013 beef production are increased slightly from those in the December report, but remain well below those from the past two years, and prices are likely to continue moving higher as a result.
The January report projects 2013 U.S. beef production at 24.8 billion pounds, compared with an estimated 25.9 billion for 2012 and 26.2 billion for 2011. Red meat production, projected at 48.4 billion pounds for 2013 is down from an estimated 49.4 billion in 2012 and 49.2 billion for 2011. Total 2013 meat and poultry production, projected at 91.7 billion pounds, is down from 92.9 billion pounds last year, in spite of small projected increases in pork and poultry production,
The report estimates 2013 beef exports at 2.4 billion pounds, down from 2.5 billion pounds last year. 2013 beef imports will increase to 2.6 billion pounds compared with 2.2 billion in 2012. Overall shorter supplies will result in lower per-capita beef consumption this year – 55.4 pounds compared with an estimated 57.4 pounds last year.
Total per-capita meat and poultry consumption, estimated at 200 pounds for 2013, is two pounds lower than 2012's estimate of 202 pounds.
Based on shorter supplies, the report projects higher prices for finished cattle throughout 2013, with quarterly estimates of $124 to $130 per hundredweight during the first quarter, $124 to $132 for the second, $125 to $135 for the third and $127 to $137 per hundredweight during the fourth quarter. For the year, the report estimates an average price between $125 and $134 per hundredweight, compared with an estimated average of $122.86 last year and $114.73 in 2011.
The 2013 cattle inventory report, due for release on February 1, should provide additional insight into supplies of feeder cattle and beef production over the next few years. There have been some signs of increased heifer retention in areas where moisture and forage supplies are adequate. If producers kept more heifers from last-year's calf crop, or intend to do so this year, supplies could decline further in the near term. Herd expansion eventually would lead to growing supplies, but due to the long production cycle in cattle, the first years of an expansion phase cause tighter supplies of feeder and finished cattle.

Characterization of the Role of Histamine in Children With Asthma

Asthma, a chronic disease which produces significant morbidity and mortality in children, is a significant health problem to a large segment of society. Despite considerable advances in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma over the past several years, a sizeable portion of patients do not respond to the "core" treatments. The investigators are now learning that the underlying pathophysiology of disease is different among patients with asthma therefore; treatments which are beneficial in some patient groups may be not achieve affect in other groups.
Antihistamines have been studied in the past for the treatment of asthma. These studies have shown that there may be a beneficial effect of antihistamines in patients with allergic asthma where histamine likely plays a large role in disease and treatment response. However, there is not enough evidence to include these drugs in the standard treatment of asthma.
The investigators hypothesize that histamine plays a definable, significant role in disease pathogenesis and treatment response in children with allergic asthma. The investigators plan to test this overall hypothesis through two specific aims. The first aim will characterize the relative contribution of histamine in allergic vs. non-allergic asthma. This aim will be accomplished by comparison of the microvasculature response to histamine in children with allergic asthma and children with non-allergic asthma, measured by histamine iontophoresis with laser Doppler (HILD) monitoring, to determine potential phenotype-associated differences in the pharmacodynamic response to histamine. The investigators will also investigate the role of genetic variation in the observed differences in HILD between the two groups. The second aim will characterize the pharmacodynamic response to antihistamines via HILD in children with an exaggerated histamine response compared to children with a low histamine response. This aim will be accomplished through conduct of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial of levocetirizine (LCT) in the two groups (high histamine and low histamine) and observing the difference in antihistamine pharmacodynamics in the two groups. The investigators will also investigate the effect of pharmacokinetic variation and genetic variation in the histamine pathway on the observed pharmacodynamic drug response.

The Export Sales report discouraged corn traders. The USDA report indicated a disappointing total for old crop corn sales, although the new crop total easily topped forecasts. The former apparently grabbed the attention of traders, as indicated by subsequent CBOT weakness. Superlative growing conditions are encouraging bears. September corn dropped 4.75 cents to $3.57/bushel in late Thursday trading, while December lost 4.5 cents to $3.67.
Thursday's late soy action proved surprisingly weak. The Export Sales report stated bean and meal totals in the upper end of or above trade forecasts. That probably explained late-morning strength as well as the old-crop leadership across the soy complex. However, bulls could sustain only a portion of the early momentum in the face of massive harvest forecasts. August soybean futures closed just 4.0 cents higher at $12.245/bushel Thursday, while November futures inched up 0.75 cent to $10.82. August soyoil bounced 0.06 cents to 36.11 cents/pound and August soymeal added $3.7 to $391.3/ton.
The wheat markets firmed Thursday afternoon. Wheat futures sagged on favorable weather news Wednesday night, but firmed after the Export Sales report posted a new-crop total well above expectations. Prices at the various exchanges were decidedly mixed at midday, but continued climbing as the close loomed. September CBOT wheat gained 3.0 cents to $5.3025/bushel as Thursday's Chicago session ended, while September KC wheat ascended 8.75 cents to $6.2575/bushel, and September MWE wheat rose 3.25 cents to $6.16.
Outside factors apparently triggered Thursday's break in cattle futures. There was little indication of weakness in the cash cattle or beef markets this morning, but that didn't stop CME futures from dropping sharply as the day passed. Wire service sources blamed active profit taking and outside factors such as the combination of equity market weakness and dollar strength for spurring the selling. August live cattle dove 1.92 cents to 157.92 cents/pound in closing Thursday action, Thursday, while December plunged 1.82 cents to 158.10. Meanwhile, August feeder futures plummeted 2.35 cents to 220.67 cents/pound, and October feeders crashed 3.00 to 221.02.
Hog futures couldn't sustain their Thursday morning bounce. Hog traders have anticipated big seasonal losses during the days and weeks ahead, but traders apparently decided that early-morning losses were overdone. CME prices rebounded to moderately higher levels, but sagged to general losses in afternoon trading. August hog futures dropped 1.02 cents to 118.02 cents/pound, while December dipped 0.27 cents to 94.17.

Sharpening Your Game for 2013
With the start of a new year, we always hear about resolutions, or the attempt to arrest bad habits. It's usually easier said than done -- and we often find that, by the end of January, our motivation has disappeared and we fall back into the same old patterns. The challenge is to make a goal of improvement and stick to it. There are a million excuses for falling off course, but the truly dedicated stick to it and become better for it.
But, really, the onset of the new year is more awareness than anything. Realistically, you can change your habits any day or time of the year, and not just the beginning. I understand the excitement and potential momentum from a renewal or rebirth, but those serious about their craft are always looking for ways to improve....402 more words left in this article.

Pennsylvania Farm Show offers something for every taste
The 97th annual Pennsylvania Farm Show opens to the public Saturday, featuring attractions new and old, and plenty of good eats.
State Agriculture Secretary George Greig says there will be new menu items -- such as bacon on a stick and apple cider slushies -- as well as classic fare.
"We have the old standards ... I like the fried cheese and the milk shakes and the roast beef sandwiches with the horseradish," he said. "I'm a big horseradish person, so I like that."
Greig says his agency is expecting about 400,000 people to attend the Farm Show, in keeping with last year's attendance.
The theme of this year's expo is "Made in PA," an effort to bring consumers' attention to the local benefits of buying home-grown products.
The Farm Show is free and open through Jan. 12.
