Imagine a deadly scenario such as this: A businessman is hard at work in his office when a criminal-minded associate in the next suite introduces an odorless anesthetic gas through the ventilation system. As the levels of gas rise, the businessman becomes sedated and, subsequently, unconscious. The associate then enters the office, kills the unconscious businessman and steals some important documents.
When questioned about the murder later, the associate opines that he really did nothing wrong, noting, with an unnecessarily detailed explanation, how "the gas rendered him thoroughly incapable of feeling any pain, because those parts of his brain involved in sensory processing and pain perception were clearly decoupled from consciousness. So killing those who are unconscious, at least on the grounds that they might feel pain, should not be seen as problematic nor should it be restricted as a personal choice."
Anyone would appreciate the absurdity of such an argument, much as they ought to recognize the unreasonableness of a similar conclusion reached by neuroscientist Daniel Bor in a Points essay published in The Dallas Morning News on Oct. 21:
"The fetus is deliberately sedated by a series of chemicals produced by the placenta, so even if it had the capacity for consciousness, there is almost no chance it could ever be conscious in the womb. Consequently, it can't consciously feel pain. … There are therefore no scientific reasons for restricting abortion on the grounds that the fetus will experience pain, at least until very late in pregnancy. This evidence has heavily influenced my views here, and consequently I am very much pro-choice."
As a neuroscientist and an ethicist myself, it's clear that such a conclusion does not follow from the premises.
Bor seeks to forcibly crown consciousness as king, making it the highest good, even over life itself. Consequently, he misses the deeper truth that human consciousness (and particularly self-consciousness) is a feature of certain kinds of beings, namely human beings, who are valuable in and of themselves. Our humanity precedes our consciousness and affords the necessary basis for it, with our value and inviolability flowing not from what we might be capable of doing (manifesting consciousness or awareness) but from who we intrinsically are (members of the human family).
Regardless of whether we might be able to manifest consciousness at a particular moment (as when we are asleep, under anesthesia or growing in utero), our humanity is still present and deserving of unconditional respect.
Those who lack consciousness or awareness are still human, and should be cherished and protected as much as anyone else with limitations, disabilities or imperfections. Our personal worth is an inextricable part of our humanity, regardless of its many imperfections, and that personal worth does not ultimately stem from our ability to manifest consciousness and awareness.
Hence, we should appreciate an argument like Bor's for what it really is — namely, an attempt to carve out a subclass of human beings (those deemed weaker than the rest of us due to their diminished personal consciousness) so that they can be singled out for death by abortion. This move constitutes an unjust form of discrimination against a voiceless class of humans, cloaked in a specious intellectual construct that misconstrues both the essential character of being human and the essential moral obligations we have toward one another.

I am trying to avoid the loading issue on the first look of the Scheduler.
If I can catch the events of the following buttons that will help me out to re-load the visible week on the Scheduler.
Previous Day- Next Day- DatePickerActivator- HeaderDay- HeaderWeek- HeaderMonth
It would be awesome to know what name of the events to catch on the client side and how the date range can be captured and passed through.
I have attached the screenshot of the button. Appreciate it.

It is important whether I can capture the date of "Previous Week" or the date range of by clicking "Week" or the month-year by clicking "Month".
Does it sound rational and possible?

Thanks Ivan.
However, this doesn't prompt the next visible range dates.
Such as; my current visible scheduler is weekly and i have got "Monday, 8 February - Sunday, February 14".
When I click on the arrow of back which takes me last week than the startDate is Monday,8 February, the endDate is Sunday, February 14. Because these date are visible. It doesn't inform me the next targetted week's start-end date information.
Does it make sense?

Hi Ivan,
Thanks for that.
This only works for the previous-next navigation. I actually need to find out once the user clicks on any navigation button such as Day, Week, Month, The calendar, Today .
What would be the best solution ? This is really important for me in order to speed the performance on the scheduler since it has got some significant performance issue once it is hooked up to the webservice communication.
Thank you

What is the number to subtract/add from a month range?
There is a problem such as;
1 - The page loads
2 - Clicking on the month view
3 - Navigating through the previous months
4 - Clicking on the week view => This throws the current week date range. This should indicate the selected month's week date range.
How can I achieve that? Thank you

Nice, and cheap!
This is actually cheaper then the stuff you get with aspartam, gelatin and so on. And it is actually good for your teeth! The taste is normal, and lasts for quite some time. I make sure to order a can on a regular basis when the USD is low compared to the NOK, cause this product has a tendency to be just around the import limit for Norway.

Dragan Obrenovic, one of two former commanders to admit his role in the massacre, pleaded guilty to one count of crimes against humanity in May.
"The trial chamber hereby sentences you to a period of 17 years' imprisonment," Judge Liu Daqun told Obrenovic as he stood to hear his sentence for admitting persecution on political, racial and religious grounds.
Five other charges - including extermination and murder - had already been dismissed. Obrenovic was chief of staff in the Bosnian Serb army's Zvornik brigade. His fellow accused, Momir Nikolic, was jailed for 27 years this month for his role in the slaughter of Muslims after Bosnian Serb forces overran Srebrenica towards the end of the 1992-95 Bosnian war.
Prosecutors had recommended a 15- to 20-year sentence for Obrenovic. Senior Bosnian Serb commander Radislav Krstic was sentenced to 46 years in jail for genocide at Srebrenica in a landmark verdict in 2001.
The tribunal's two most wanted men, Bosnian Serb Radovan Karadzic and his military commander, Ratko Mladic, are also accused of responsibility for the Srebrenica massacre as well as for the siege of Sarajevo.

Please post quick, I really want to play it again
Yes I do. And usually they give an pop-up message about that rather then freezing
I had the same problem, coming straight from an .iso of the game. I went back and deleted it off the wii hdd and transferred the same iso over again, and it then worked... weird.

The 2003 first annual South Bay Jazz Festival was attended by over 2000 enthusiastic fans and featured such celebrated contemporary jazz artists as Norman Brown, Wayman Tisdale, Everette Harp, Hiroshima, Gregg Karukas, and Rick Perkins. Good weather, good music, and good behavior marked the event, which was a source of civic pride for Inglewood residents who have long fought against negative stereotypes associated with the city.
With an expected attendance of more than 3,500 guests per day, this years crowd will be treated not only to an afternoon filled with live music but also a Festival Marketplace and an International Food Court.

Catastrophe CD: Catastrophe CD (Abridged / Compact Disc, Abridged)
It's time to take back our country.
Barack Obama and the Democrats are . . .
Canceling the war on terror . . .and replacing it with a war on prosperity. Taking away your health care options. . . And replacing them with government rationing. Taking control of the banks, Detroit, and your money . . .and converting them all into government assets.
We're not just heading for disaster . . .it's already here! Listen to Catastrophe today and find out how to stop it.
Now, in Catastrophe, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann take a hard look at America in freefalland at now-President Obama, who is already exploiting our distress by transforming a vulnerable America into a socialist state.
"This is no time for apathy or alienation or hopelessness," Morris and McGann remind us. "It's a time for action." And that action must begin nowbefore it's too late.

Social Security and You: Disability benefits
Updated 12:08 am, Saturday, April 27, 2013
Q: What information do I need to give to Social Security if I want to apply for disability?
A: The information we need include medical records and documentation about your condition. We can make copies of your records and return your originals.
We need the names, addresses and phone numbers for any doctors, hospitals, medical facilities, treatment centers or providers that may have information related to your disabling condition.
In addition, we need the names, addresses and phone numbers of recent employers and the dates you worked for each employer.

It is also a good idea to provide your federal tax return for the past year. This will help you receive credit for any recent earnings that may not appear on your work history at the time.
If you do not have all the information handy, that is no reason to delay. You still should apply for benefits right away. Social Security can assist you in getting the necessary documents, including obtaining your medical records. It can take three to four months to obtain all your medical records and for us to process an application for disability benefits.
Just keep in mind that if you do have the information we need, it probably will speed up the time it takes to make a decision.
The fastest and most convenient way to apply for disability is online at www.social security.gov/applyfordisability. You can save your application as you go, so you can take a break at any time.
If you prefer, you may call our toll-free number, 800-772-1213, to make an appointment to apply at your local Social Security office or to set up an appointment for someone to take your application over the phone.
If you are approved for disability benefits, it does not mean you will never be able to work again. In fact, Social Security has special rules called "work incentives" that allow you to test your ability to work.
Learn more about disability benefits and take advantage of the helpful "Disability Starter Kit" at www.socialsecurity.gov/ disability/disability_starter_ kits.htm.
Q: Is there a way to get an estimate of my retirement benefit without having to create a "my Social Security" account?
A: Yes, you can get an estimate by using our online Retirement Estimator.
You can use the Retirement Estimator if you have enough Social Security credits to qualify for benefits and you are not currently receiving benefits on your Social Security record or any other record.
You can calculate your estimate based on actual earnings and future estimated earnings. The Retirement Estimator will provide your benefit amount at age 62, full retirement age and age 70. You also can create multiple scenarios to see how different "stop-work" ages impact your benefit amount.
The Retirement Estimator is available at www.social security.gov/estimator.

Some rather unhinged leftys running around
I checked to see who mentioned me on Twitter ('cause I'm just that popular) and Jeff Simpson who blogs at Blogging Blue is including me on conversations about things that I have nothing to do with. In fact, I find him to be so annoyingly stupid I actually blocked him on Twitter. Perhaps he just has some sort of crush on me. Creepy, really.
I suppose I should be flattered. I wonder what kind of toilet paper he buys?

Dear Green Skittles...
I see you in there looking all green and limey. You are an imposter, a fraud, a fake. You can't just turn all green apple on us! We lovers of the red bag of Skittles are purists, if we wanted crazy flavors like pomegranate, or blood orange, or GREEN APPLE we would choose some of those crazier bags like purple one.
Green apple is an acquired taste, like watermelon, we want our lime back! What have you done with him, sour apple?? Huh??
Lemon and lime are like yin and yang, you can't mess with that mojo. Lemon and Green Apple? Shudder...
So, in closing, scram green apple! I want my lime!
P.S. (Below, you will see The Big Guy with his best bud skiing in their yellow and green jackets. On the slopes their nickname is "Lemon & Lime", not "Lemon & Green Apple". That would be stupid. I think I've made my point.)

Movie Review by Patrick Peters
Published Friday August 3, 2007
The life and times of an Indian family in Britain - told with the help of 40 years of Super 8 footage.
Empire Review
Britain in 1965, Yash Pal Suri bought two Super 8 cameras, a pair of projectors and two tape recorders so that he could keep in audiovisual contact with his relatives back in India.
In many ways, he was anticipating the webcam communications that he and wife Sheel would end up having with their daughter Vanita after she left for Australia. But he was also encapsulating the problem facing many migrant families who wished to retain their indigenous identity, while also seeking to acclimatise to their new culture.
Making evocative use of her father's home movies, Sandhya Suri has made a compelling piece of social history that is also a deeply moving domestic melodrama.

Introducing the NEW Shipping Wizard
As you know, PrestaShop v1.5.5 unveiled a totally new configuration page for Shipping Carriers and Delivery Fee's. We call this our new Shipping Wizard. In this guide, we will go over the basic settings that you should know in order to successfully set up a new Carrier and attach specific Delivery Fees.
Remember, if you are using a Shipping Carrier module like La Poste, UPS, Fed-Ex etc, it's important to check the Modules configuration page for specific settings and preferences.
Okay, let's get to it. When setting up a new carrier, it's important to hash out all the details you need in order to get started. This means going over what you want this Carrier to do. Do you want the carrier to be free? Which Zones do you want to Ship to using this Carrier? Are there any restrictions to the size, weight, or price of the Cart?
For example, Let's say your business shisp all around the world but you want to have one Carrier that will Ship only within North America. Let's name this Carrier "USA LightSpeed". USA Lightspeed will deliver within 2-3 business days and the Fee is a Flat rate $15.00. It will Ship up to 100 pounds and products worth up to $5,000. This USA Lightspeed carrier will also give free shipping when the cart reaches over $1,000.
Step 1 General Settings
Now let's go over to your Back-Office and set it up.
Go to your Back-Office>Shipping>Carriers>Add new Carrier
Now you have reached the first page of the Shipping Wizard. There a few fields that you need to fill out in "General Settings".
Carrier name: USA Lightspeed
Transit time: 2-3 Business Days
Speed grade: 5 [Enter "0" for a longest shipping delay, or "9" for the shortest shipping delay.]
Logo: [Upload Logo]
Tracking URL: [Insert tracking URL if applicable]
When you completed this Step 1, our screen shows this
After we have filled everything we need out, go ahead and click "Next"
Step 2 "Shipping locations and costs"
Now we are on Step 2. Let's go over the initial settings.
Shipping and Handling: If you have a "Handling Charge" that is set in the Back-Office>Shipping>Shipping you can elect to include it or exclude it from your Carriers price. We do not, so we leave it as disabled (which is the default setting).
Apply shipping cost: If enabled, the final order price will include both the carrier's regular shipping fee, along with specific per-product fees, if there are any. If disabled, the final order price will only include the product's specific shipping fee. Specific product shipping fees are configured on each product's "Shipping" tab, with the "Additional shipping cost (per quantity)" field. For nearly all cases, this would be set to Enabled.
Billing: Choose whether you want to calculate the shipping costs by total price or total weight. This depends on the way your carrier handles billing. Make sure to check their documentation about this.
The next part is the most important section. In this table you can set three important aspects of your Shipping Carrier Configuration.
- What Zones you want this Carrier to be enabled for.
- What Price/Weight range(s) you need.
- What are the Fee's for each Zone and Range.
Previously, in older versions of PrestaShop, you had to do these three items separately. With the new Shipping Wizard, all these configurations on located on this table in Step 2.
We discussed earlier that we want USA Lightspeed to only ship in North America. We also stated that it will ship products for a flat rate of $15.00 for carts up to $1000. Lastly, we wanted Free Shipping for Carts above $1,000 but remember, Lightspeed won't ship any carts above $5,000.
It is important to note that the lower value range is exclusive and the higher value range is inclusive. For example, we want a $15.00 Flat rate for carts worth up to but not including $1000, and Free Shipping for cart's $1000 and above. Based upon these settings our screen should look like this. Notice how the ranges are set, and the North America Zone is the only one enabled. When carts are within $1000 to $5000, it will be Free Shipping, which is exactly what we wanted.
Out-of-range behavior: If your customer's cart does not fit within your range and zone requirements, you have two options.
-Apply the cost of the highest defined range. PrestaShop will take the most costly range and apply its conditions.
-Disable carrier: This means that if the Cart does not fit the criteria set, it will be disabled and not shown as an applicable option. For example, if the Cart is above $5,000, this Carrier would not be available. We will choose this setting.
Let's move on, click "Next" and let's set up the next step.
Step 3 - Size, weight, and group access
Now we go to Step 3 "Size, weight, and group access"
We can fill in the following information:
- Max Height, width, depth and weight of the package allowed by the carrier. Remember that we said USA Lightspeed will not Ship products that weigh a combined 100 lbs or more. Note that the weight and price units are the default ones for your PrestaShop installation, and the ones your products use. You can change these units "Localization" page of the "Localization" menu tab in the Back Office
Group Access: This restricts access to the carrier to certain customer groups. For USA Lightspeed, we will allow all Customer Groups access to this Carrier if the cart fits the criteria set up in Step 2. We will leave them all checked.
After configuring Step 3, our screen looks like this. Note that the Max weight allowed is 100 lbs. If the weight of the package is over 100 lbs, USA Lightspeed will not be available to ship the package.
Now click "Next"
Step 4 Summary
We have finally reached the summary page at which the Shipping Wizard tells you what the basic Configurations you have set up. When you have looked over this Summary page, you can choose whether to Enable or Disable the Carrier. We want it enabled. Our Summary page looks like this,
That's it, click "Finish" and your Carrier is now set-up.
We have successfully made a carrier USA Lightspeed and added our Fees, Weight/Price Ranges, and specific restrictions all from one easy to use Shipping Wizard. Remember, this was an extremely simple set up; you can make your configurations as basic or advance as you want.
I hope you feel even more comfortable setting up your new carriers now. You can always take a look at our User Guide for more in-depth information. You can also visit the our Community Forum for more tips and tricks. Feel free to leave any questions or comments below.
Happy Shipping!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Harrison, Mar 21, 2007.
Stick a fork in it... it's done.
i can dig that for sure... nice work man
...now That's stylin'...
Very Nice! I especially like the dash and seat.
Looks good. I like the stich work!
i wouldn't kick it out the garage
No kid that young deserves a car like that
It turned out GREAT!
Love It!!!
Hot Damn! Bitchin' machine!
Perfectly AWESOME! Congrats!
Wow . . . just . . . wow.
Something to be very proud of!
one of the best i've seen!!!
stunning.......... simply stunning!
Perfect, I wouldnt change a thing!
that car is tit's......wana trade?
I dig, nice work !
Home Run !
That car turned out awesume!
With some guidance & advice from a local stitcher, Kennedy did that seat himself.
The only thing I would change is who's garage it's in...
I've been really waiting to see how this car turned out...
I'm not disappointed! Great job. And I'll step out of the "Awesome ride! KIT!!! Have a Bitchin' Summer!!" cavelcade and actually tell you what I like...
The color is a nice departure from the 'formula.' It really sets the car apart and adds a bit more class.
The Stance is awesome. I'm not generally a fan of wheels larger than 16s on a Hot Rod but it kinda works on this car... Might be the color choice...
The chop and just the general proportions of the car are cool. Restrained and yet with all the attitude you need in a hot rod.
With that said, I'm not crazy about the interior. I like the color choice but the pleating looks a little 'modern' and the 'baseball stitching' looks like an afterthought.... But that's minor, it doesn't take away from the car, and it's subjective.
I'm inspired by this car and a little pissed that someone so young pulled it off!!!
Great work, I have been waiting for this ride to be completed and you nailed it!
great stance.......very cool ride
Is the roof filled.. looks like there maybe an insert?
Nice car
Very nice!
Are you on the road to the Roundup yet?? Nice car!
one bad mother

you Should Contact Gentleman James from East Van I heard he was looking to pick up a team.
Machine Politics vs L'Équipe, August 2010. Photo by Steph Simcox
!!!Attention all NACCC contestents still looking for teammates!!!
Two of Portland's finest polo players are with out teams for what is going to be the premire polo event of the new millenium. We are currently accepting offer's from teams who are looking for rock fucking solid additions to their rosters. All offers/teams/requestes will be equally considered and a final decision will be rendered by Wednesday 8-20. To clarify, we are not looking for a third person - rather, we are two solo players looking for teams to join. Serious inquires only and good luck bidding!!!
you Should Contact Gentleman James from East Van I heard he was looking to pick up a team.
this whole 'Gentleman' schtick is such a misnomer...
I would have to completely agree with that, but James is still a sweetheart.
A new mallet head for Crandall if he plays with a St. Louis team!
How is it that you two are the only Portlanders up for the trip? I thought the sport was strong out there.
Chicago Bike Polo 2003-2008
St Louis Bike Polo 2008-now
it is strong there, stronger than anywhere else i'd say. the top four portland teams are deeper than any other city i've seen. chicago is far and portland players spend their money on beer and drum instead of plane tickets. and they are not the only two portlanders going, just two without teams. there will most likely only be two players from east van going, one can only fly across the continent so many times...
meg, there are a couple of madison teams that would be stoked to play with you if you want. Shoot me an email and i will talk to the folks out here. jonny . d . hunter at Gmail dot
i like your style eric and meg going free agent what at a better way to line up a winning team
we still have pabst money to sign a free agent...crandal! meg i am attempting to find folks for ya here but we have trouble getting people to travel and even show for the most part.
brian went for dirt cheap to keep him on a mke team, sometimes players take less money to be on a team they like.
hero squad 2 reunite?
no dice nyc...MKE!
crandall, i agree with jake. hero squad 2 needs to reunite because that's the fucking team. third in TO left a bad taste in my mouth and only the cool refreshing taste of a naccc championship can clense my palate.
plus, mr kickass misses you
- Beaver Boys * Milwaukee Bike Polo Club -
So we held a meeting tonight and there will be 8-9 heads from richmond coming, we are unsure of any teams other than one, Ian, Nick, and Jacob. I am looking for a strong team that needs a third as I was bumped from my usual team with Ian. Normally my team is me Ian and Dennis (steel horsemen) but dennis can't make it and Ian and Nick want to play with Jacob as their third. I believe Im a stronger player than them but I guess thats my ego speaking and for whatever reason Ian (arguably our strongest player) wants to go with that lineup for his team. Hopefully those of you who've seen me play can attest for my game, Im solid. Im a bit salty about being bumped but I wanted to be fair and leave the decision to Ian as to who he thought he could do best with. I did not expect to be bumped, any suggestions?? We also need places to stay and I'll email Ben for those details.
send me an email! firstname.lastname@example.com
Looking to play with a team. I'll take whatever I can get, since no other hometown kids are cool enough to come with.
Comes with own equipment/beer.
aaahhhh, I can't wait to meet all the hot polo ladies out in Chicago. We only have one hardcore lady player and she's the homies girl...... maybe i can meet my future wife and she can show me things with a mallet I never thought possible.... oh ya FREE AGENT!
O h hai, I want to be a fragent, too.

410 The first Day's Night had come
Listen (RealAudio) | How to listen
Poem: "The first Day's Night had come," by Emily Dickinson from The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson (Little Brown and Company).
The first Day's Night had come
The first Day's Night had come
And grateful that a thing
So terriblehad been endured
I told my Soul to sing
She said her Strings were snapt
Her Bowto Atoms blown
And so to mend hergave me work
Until another Morn
And thena Day as huge
As Yesterdays in pairs,
Unrolled its horror in my face
Until it blocked my eyes
My Brainbegun to laugh
I mumbledlike a fool
And tho' 'tis Years agothat Day
My Brain keeps gigglingstill.
And Something's oddwithin
That person that I was
And this Onedo not feel the same
Could it be Madnessthis?
It's the birthday of anthropologist Margaret Mead, born in Philadelphia (1901). She studied at Columbia University with the renowned anthropologist Franz Boas, who encouraged her to do an anthropological study of adolescent girls. She ended up going to Samoa, where her research yielded the book Coming of Age in Samoa (1928). The book was widely read both by scholars and by the general public and inspired a generation of young women to study anthropology.
It's the birthday of English playwright and composer Sir Noël Coward, born in Teddington, England (1899). He is best known for his comedies Private Lives (1930), Design for Living (1933) and Blithe Spirit (1941). Blithe Spirit, a comedy about spiritualism, premiered in London during the height of the air raids in WWII. Coward wrote of the opening night: "The audience had to walk across planks laid over the rubble caused by a recent air raid to see a light comedy about death." The play went on to break box office records with a run of nearly 2,000 performances.
It's the birthday of Jane Austen, born in Steventon, England (1775). As a girl, she wrote spoofs of popular sentimental fiction and took part in private theatricals staged in a local barn. She finished writing her first novel, a parody called Love and Friendship, when she was 14. In 1797, her father sent a London publisher the manuscript of Pride and Prejudice, only to have it rejected by return of post. After her father's death in 1805, she settled with her mother and sister in the village of Chawton, where at her own expense she published both Sense and Sensibility (1811) and Pride and Prejudice (1813). It was also at Chawton that she wrote her last three novels: Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1816) and Persuasion (1818).
On this day in 1773, from 30 to 60 colonists dressed up as Indians and threw 10,000 pounds worth of tea into Boston Harbor in an incident that became known as the Boston Tea Party. The action was in protest of an act of Parliament that granted a monopoly in the American tea trade to the East India Company. When he heard about it back in London, Samuel Johnson quipped, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
It's the birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven, born in Bonn, Germany (1770). His grandfather and father were both musicians. He studied briefly with Mozart and Haydn. It was in Vienna that he became famous, both as a composer and as a pianist. But at the height of his success as a performer, in 1800, he began to realize that he was going deaf. He was tempted to take his own life, but said: "Only Art held me back; for, ah, it seemed unthinkable for me to leave the world forever before I had produced all I felt called upon to produce." What he produced were some of the greatest musical masterpieces of his or any age, including nine monumental symphonies, 17 string quartets, and 32 piano sonatas.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

Three-star rated tight end Joe Halahuni is keeping things as business as usual while the summer months wind down and his recruitment looks to start picking up again.
The offers from Oregon State and Utah have remained the same. While Halahuni, the No. 15 rated prospect in the state, has visited OSU once before he has done a little bit of thinking about the schools showing him interest.
"Those are also the favorites for me," Halahuni said. "I really like those schools. They both have good programs and I really liked the area up there when I visited OSU. Utah, I've checked out online, and it seems pretty nice."
Article Continues Below
Halahuni said that his decision will come when he feels most comfortable about a school. One school that he would like to see an offer come from was Washington State after taking in their camp.
"I went down there but couldn't play because of a pulled hamstring," Halahuni said about his WSU camp visit. "I did get a chance though to talk with the coaches and I really liked it down there."
One thing is for sure, though his recruiting process is currently an open book, he has still enjoyed the attention that has been slowly picking up for the last few months.
"It's been fun and hectic kind of at the same time," he said. "I've enjoyed it a lot but it's really been busy. Football has been going on every week so it's a lot to deal with sometimes."
Halahuni is rated as the No. 33 rated tight end in the nation.

Protect the lifestyle of your loved ones with term life insurance.
Term Life Insurance is a type cover that provides a one-off payment to you or your beneficiaries if:
- You pass away during the 'term' of the policy e.g. until the age of 80
- You have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and are not expected to live for longer than 12 months
Edit your details

What's in this guide?
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance provides cover for your family and anyone else that is financially dependent on you in the event that you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
- A lump sum benefit payout. When you take out a term cover policy, you are paying for an agreed benefit amount which will be paid to your family when you die. The term life insurance benefit will be paid as a lump sum amount, so that your family can use the money to pay off debts such as the mortgage or credit cards, as well as use the money as an income to pay ongoing bills to maintain their lifestyle and goals, such as your children's education.
- Advance payment for terminal illness. If according to a medical practitioner you are expected to die within 12 months, your policy can pay out the benefit as an advance payment to help with final medical expenses.
- Can be renewed each year. Most policies can be renewed until you reach the age of 99, however, you may not have to renew your policy after you retire, if you have a healthy retirement investment.
- Few exclusions for when a benefit won't be paid. Most plans will have just one exclusion, where the policy won't pay out if your death is the result of suicide in the first 13 months. Apart from that if you have been honest and detailed on your application, your family will usually be able to rely on a cash payout when you die. Obviously there are certain exclusions for when a benefit can be paid for injury and illness claims.
- Additional options available. Since your death is not the only circumstance which could leave your family unable to rely on your income, and so you can add extras to your term life insurance policy such as total and permanent disability insurance and trauma insurance, which can pay a percentage of your income if you are unable to work because of an illness, injury or accident.
Can I bundle term life with other types of cover?
Term life insurance can also be combined with other types of "living insurance" TPD Insurance and Trauma Insurance - these provide a lump sum payment if you become disabled or suffer a trauma event such as stroke, cancer or heart attack. This guide will help you determine if you even need term life insurance and what steps you can take to help you get quality cover at the right price. If you are ready to receive a quote for cover, simply enter your details in the form below.
When is a good time to take out cover?
This will really depend on your own situation and what you would need to cover in the event of your death. Some key triggers that lead many Australians to take out cover or review their existing cover include buying a house, getting married and having their first child. These events may not apply to you but it is still worth considering the "living insurance" that provide a payment if you suffer a major illness or injury and do not pass away.

Don't I already have cover in my superannuation?
Most super funds will provide a very basic level of cover life insurance to members. This is usually only a portion of what will actually be required to cover all of your debts/ongoing expenses of your family if you were to pass away. It is possible to either increase or decrease the cover in your superannuation.
Here are some benefits and drawbacks of life insurance through superannuation you might want to consider;
- Generally cheaper as cover is bought in bulk
- Premiums may be tax-deductible
- Premium is not taken from take home earnings
- Premiums automatically deducted
- Reduced health checks during application
- Types of cover available is limited (No Trauma)
- Generally a reduced level of cover available
- Benefit payment can be drawn out as funds are paid to trustee first
- Benefit payment may be taxed
- Reduced range of benefits
- Cover may stop if you change funds
The decision of whether or not to fund your life insurance through superannuation is not always straightforward. You may wish to speak with an insurance consultant to get a better idea of what is best for your situation.
Many life insurance companies now offer whats known as a superannuation rollover. This lets you apply for a policy with a life insurance company and still fund the policy with either the life insurance companies super fund or the superannuation fund you currently have.
This means you can continue funding your cover through your superannuation but access cover from a life insurance company that may be more suitable to your situation.

Can I get cover without having to do a medical exam?
This will depend on your own situation and if you have had any medical complications in the past. There has been significant changes in recent years to how applicants are assessed and insurers are much more willing to tailor cover to people that have a pre-existing condition.
Most life insurance companies will require you complete a short medical questionnaire when applying for cover. If you meet their entry requirements, you will usually be able to apply for cover without having to undertake a medical exam or provide details of your medical history.
Most direct insurance brands will allow you to apply for cover entirely online or over the phone if you meet these entry requirements.Back to top
So is whole life insurance no longer available in Australia?
Insurance companies in Australia no longer offer "whole of life" or universal life insurance in Australia. This type of cover was popular in the 1970s and 1980s but has now been replaced by term life insurance mainly due to whole of life insurance premiums being unable to keep pace with inflation and it being considered to be a poor form of long-term investment.
So what happens at the end of my policy term? Do I receive any payment or refund?
There is no surrender cash value in term life insurance. You pay a premium to have cover in place and if the term runs out or you cancel your policy, you do not receive payment. With term life insurance, you can increase or decrease your premiums to be in-line with what you actually require and combine the protection with other living-insurance to ensure you have adequate cover against both illness or injury.
What are some drawbacks of term cover?
As with any insurance product, its tailored features can mean that term protection presents certain disadvantages in some circumstances, so make sure you are aware of:
- No cash value. One reason that term life insurance is cheaper than whole of life insurance is that it doesn't accumulate an investment portion. This means that your insurance policy does not accrue any cash value, so if you out live the term of your term insurance, and die after the term has expired, your beneficiaries don't receive any cash out or death benefit. Therefore, if you survive your policy you don't see any return on the premiums you have paid.
- Regular renewals and rising costs. As a policy is only valid for the term you've chosen, when the policy expires at the end of that term you need to take out a new policy if you want to continue to be covered. However, at the end of the term you are older than you were when you first applied, and may have seen other health and lifestyle changes too, all of which can combine to make renewing your policy more expensive. Plus, term life insurance is not a set and forget insurance product, as you need to go through the application process again and again at the end of each term.
- Your premium will reflect your lifestyle choices, Your premiums will be based on the level of risk you present to your insurer. If you smoke, engage in high-risk activities or work in a dangerous occupation, you can expect to pay more than others. You shouldn't take ever change who you are or your interests to save on your cover but their may be some changes to make to your health to benefit from a lower premium
Looking for cheap term life cover? Here are some traps to watch out for
- Price will often reflect quality of cover...know exactly what you will receive in a claim
- Beware of cover rammed with exclusions of when a claim will be paid for death
- Policies that are extremely inflexible when it comes to adjusting your level of cover and features
- Can you trust the insurer? The last thing you want is a nightmare at claim time because your insurer has gone bankrupt
Handy tips to keep insurance affordable
- Compare multiple options
- Get an idea of how much cover you actually need...do you already have some other cover in place that you can fall back on or assets that could be sold in the event of your death?
- Looking for cover for your spouse as well? Take out cover together to save
- Avoid expensive extras you don't actually need
- Consider whether stepped or level premiums is better for your financial situation
- Stop smoking...you could lower your premiums if your health is in good standing
- Consider funding your cover through superannuation
- Apply early to lock in a competitive rate...applying later when you are more susceptible to medical conditions may drive up your premium
- Review your policy every 12 months to see if there is a more suitable/better priced option available.
How do I compare policies?
Ready to start comparing policies? Here are some key things to look out for.
- Compare multiple policies, but do not rely solely on price: When assessing different term life policies and comparing the premiums rates for each cover, it is important to be fair in your judgement. The rates on offer should not be the only factor to consider when making your purchase decision. Some term life insurance policy rates may appear to be more affordable, however, they may only come with a basic level of built-in features and benefits.
- Check out the extras that are available: Another factor that will affect your term life insurance rates is your choice of additional features. Make sure that you assess and match your needs carefully with the additional options in place. The last thing you want is to be paying a higher premium for features you don't even need.
- Choice of premium structure - stepped, level premiums or hybrid: Your term life insurance premium rates will vary depending on the premium structure that you have chosen. Stepped premiums are very affordable at the start of your policy, however, they will increase overtime as you get older. Level premiums stay at a specific rate and will not change regardless of your age.
- Ability to bundle cover? Find out if it is possible to bundle your term life cover with other types of insurance i.e. Trauma or TPD. Does this bring a saving?

Typically you will have a set period of time in which to convert your policy – dictated by each different insurer – and you won't have to provide any new information about your health or lifestyle if you keep the benefits of the policy the same.

At the beginning of the summer, Fairburn (Ga.) Our Lady of Mercy defensive back Rashard Fant felt like he was fighting for his football future.
The rising senior held just one offer, from Western Kentucky and wasn't sure if any other schools were going to notice his abilities.
But after camping at Wake Forest, Auburn, Florida State, South Carolina and Ole Miss, Fant has racked up a plethora of offers from BCS programs and he added another to the list over the weekend.
Article Continues Below
Kentucky became the second SEC school to offer Fant, joining Ole Miss, where he visited and camped late last week and into the weekend. The Wildcats join the Rebels, WKU, Ohio State, Florida State and Utah in Fant's current top six.
"I was thinking I was going to go into my senior year without any offers," Fant said. "I was just worried that people weren't noticing my talent but now they know I can play and they want me on their team and it's great that interest in me has picked up."
Fant will repay the Kentucky coaches for the offer with a visit this weekend. He also plans on taking a visit to WKU while he's in the state.
"I can't wait to go take a look and see what they have to offer," Fant said. "Coach Joker Phillips is trying to do great things with the program there."
Fant is expected to visit Kentucky with Atlanta Mays wide receive Deangelo Yancey. The two are close friends but not necessarily a package deal.
"Originally we wanted to go to college together but now we're going to go where our hearts feel," Fant said of himself and Yancey. "If he feels somewhere else is better for him and I feel somewhere is better for me then that's that. We'll be bro's. But if we end up together that would be great, too."
On Thursday, Fant took an unofficial visit to Ole Miss prior to the start of camp and came away very impressed.
"It was nice and definitely a new experience," Fant said. "… The facilities are top notch, which what you expect from an SEC school. They're a program trying to go in the right direction and I feel like the coaches have a plan."
He said none of the six schools he's still considering is leading at the moment, but that figures to change in the next two weeks. Fant said he's hoping to make a decision no later than mid-August so he can focus on his senior season.
"I want to take these visits this weekend and then see where I'm at," Fant said. "I should be making the decision towards the end of next week, but at the latest I want to decide by Aug. 17 so I can focus the season."

Activities here include wider benefits of applied of knowledge and skills; critical analysis of policy and practice; commercial income generation through research, knowledge transfer and training services and consultancy. Following on from the Centre for Local Policy Studies Research Exchange Seminar on 'Concepts of Knowledge Exchange', we would like to continue the discussion about what knowledge exchange and public engagement means for us at Edge Hill.

Never had a pu-erh toucha before. At first I wasn't sure if I should steep it as it was or if I should break it to bits first, but I decided to go for the former after having looked it up at the seller's website. I figured that it was little difference from various pearl teas and that if I was supposed to break it to bits, they would have said so.
Turns out I think I did it the right way this way. I could see it in the pot in the beginning of the steep and it disintegrated pretty quickly. I can't say anything about how it smelled because although I tried, I had just handled salmon so I couldn't really smell anything other than fish. And I was pretty certain that it wasn't supposed to smell like smoked fish.
A normal length steep for me gave me a very dark brew. It's as black as coffee and it's only when I hold it up to the light that I can spot any sort of transparency. I think maybe I've steeped it to death here, and I'm belatedly reminded of Carolyn's method of many very ultra short steeps. Maybe that's the way I should go with the other toucha.
It doesn't, however, taste in anyway ruined. It's actually very nice. A bit mild for a pu-erh possibly, but it's not bitter at all. It just has that hint of astringency that tells me that I've used too much leaf for this length of steeping. There should be loads of steeps left in this one though. Shorter ones, mind.
There's nothing to report on the taste otherwise though. It just tastes like pu-erh. Fairly standard. Default pu-erh. I got a sample of a plain loose pu-erh too from this company, and if they turn out to be similar (which I suspect they will) then this will likely be the one of the two I'll prefer, simply because this is easier to deal with. It's always good, I think, to have a solid plain pu-erh around in the cupboard and that's something I've been missing for a long time.
Bit like a teabag actually, just without the actual bag.

An actress claims Southwest Airlines discriminated against her for kissing her girlfriend on a flight from Baltimore to St. Louis.
Leisha Hailey, who stars in the Showtime series "The L-Word," said airline personnel escorted her off the plane when it landed in St. Louis.
Southwest Airlines said several passengers had complained that the on-air affection shared by Hailey and her girlfriend was excessive.
Hailey called for a boycott of the airline on Twitter, writing: "I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir. Flt. attendant said that it was a "family" airline and kissing was not ok."
She later called for a boycott of the airline.
According to the airline, a conversation about Hailey's kissing that started in the air continued on the ground.
In a statement on their site, Southwest wrote:
Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all Customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender. The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight.
Southwest's website says it is the official airline of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Herndon Graddick, senior director of programs at GLAAD, said in an email to the AP that ``GLAAD contacted Southwest to call for additional actions beyond tonight's statement that ensure all customers feel comfortable and welcomed while traveling.''
