With its flag flying at half staff, students walk through the campus of Boston University in Boston Tuesday, April 16, 2013.
Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon stunned the nation.
Many people were glued to the news and their cellphones as they watched authorities scramble to respond to the crime scene. In a single instant, many people's sense of security was jolted.
Many graduating seniors rely on the illusion of security that a college campus provides, before leaping into the so-called real world. After a tragedy that is felt on a national scale, it's natural for a student to stop and re-examine their future plans, especially if those plans involve moving to a big city.
"When there's a death like this in the nation, it shatters the bubble that protects us from worrying that we might die or that our loved ones might die," said Lauren Schneider, clinical director of Child and Adolescent Programs at OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center in Los Angeles. "People are likely to be walking around in kind of a heightened state of anxiety because they're more aware than normal that death happens."
In fact, the overwhelming accessibility of information can affect a student's psychological state. Amanda Tyson-Ryba, a licensed psychologist at the University at Buffalo's Counseling Services, said that being perpetually connected through social media could intensify the tragedy.
"I think that just through exposure to the events, people can be traumatized by it, even if they don't have any personal connections to the situation," Tyson-Ryba said.
Yet the fright and vulnerability that inevitably succeeds tragedy doesn't necessarily have to impact one's post-graduation plans. Lauren Kase, the executive director for the college grief organization National Students of AMF, says it's good to remind yourself that these types of attacks aren't everyday occurrences.
"Students have every right to be worried," Kase said, "but they just need to keep it in perspective and still focus on doing what they feel they were created to do."

Christmas clip art is a lot of different things. It is everything that makes us think of the Christmas we like, the Christmas we know from our childhood, be it in the cold North or in the warm South.
So here you will get Santa Claus clip art, Christmas tree clip art, Snowman clipart, Merry Christmas clipart, and reindeer clipart. There will also be presents and candles, trees and houses in the snow, and Christmas bells.
All in all, al lot of Christmas clip art. So look at all these Christmas graphics, and pick the ones you like.
You can use all these cool drawings for your Christmas greetings, art projects, scrapbook, amusing love notes and love letters, greeting cards etc.
There are only two limitations on your use of this original clip
art. Well, actually if you are using my clip art for your own
personal use like for invitations and greetings, you can use as much
as you like.
Otherwise do not overuse it, i.e. if you want to use more than five pieces of my clipart in one project or webpage, please contact me. And there is no using these clip arts for negative purposes.
That's it for limitations! Not so bad, is it? Apart from the
above two limitations you can use all the graphics here for free, no
strings attached. (Yes, you can even use them in commercial projects
as long as you observe the two above limitations). You are most
welcome to credit me for the things you use, but you don't have to.
And if you would like to know whether Santa Claus is real or not, I can recommend the page Is Santa Claus Real? Warm Santa Humor & Santa Claus Jokes. It is on an other site, but have a look, and then return to find more Christmas Clip Art here.

A Buckeye Valley High School teacher has been charged with two counts of sexual battery Wednesday, according to the Delaware County Sheriff's Office.
Matthew Miller, 24, has been charged with two counts of sexual battery, which are felonies.
Miller is accused of having improper sexual encounters with two juvenile students on two different occasions, according to the sheriff's office.
According to the sheriff's office, the inappropriate conduct was brought to the attention of school administrators on March 12.
Miller has been placed on administrative leave and has been advised not to have any contact with Buckeye Valley students.
Miller was a vocal teacher, according to administrators.
"Miller took advantage of being a trusted educator, leader, and mentor, " O'Brien said. "He has since resigned his position as a vocal teacher at Buckeye Valley High School and surrendered his teaching certificate to the state of Ohio."

Current Scholars
Process for Obtaining Scholarship Funds:
Each semester, scholars must submit the following documents to their Community Organization in order to receive their scholarship payments:
- a financial statement from their school, showing the pending charges as well as other financial aid being received
- a cumulative transcript which includes the results of the most recent semester
- receipts for other education-related expenses, if the semester's tuition balance did not require full use of the allowed scholarship amount.
For current New Futures scholars in need of additional funding:
Rather than applying for a second scholarship, a current scholar who is continuing with his or her existing program but is in need of additional funding may apply for a scholarship funding extension. He or she should complete the application for supplemental funding attached below and include the required attachments.
Note: This process is intended for scholars who are continuing with existing programs, not those who are pursuing a second certification or degree.
Application for Supplemental Funding (PDF)
These applications for supplemental funding may be sent at any time throughout the year, but should be sent at least four (4) weeks prior to the start of the semester for which funding is needed. New Futures will review the application and determine if additional funding is or is not granted, and, if granted, the additional amount.
Applications for supplemental funding should be sent to:
New Futures Director of Student Programs, through the student's community organization

Anne Fadiman speaks to UAMS students, faculty and employees about her book and improving cross-cultural competency in the health professions.
UAMS College of Pharmacy students listen to Fadiman speak on her book "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down."
Fadiman gives a UAMS student a signed copy of her book after her lecture and a question and answer session.
Nov. 6, 2013 | Finding common ground with a patient of another culture is a critical skill that may not be emphasized enough in school but is a key tool health care professionals should use, national bestselling author Anne Fadiman told UAMS students and staff.
Fadiman spoke Nov. 4 at a UAMS College of Pharmacy lecture on her award-winning book "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down."
"As pharmacists and other medical doctors, you need to learn about the culture you are dealing with," Fadiman said. "If you see patients as an ethnic group, you'll focus only on the differences rather than on the commonalities."
Winner of the National Book Critics "Circle Award for Nonfiction," the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest, and the Salon Book Award, Fadiman has dealt personally with people of other cultures, in particular a Hmong family who came to the United States as refugees from Laos.
"The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" documents and explores the clash between this family and a small county hospital in Merced, Calif. Three-year-old Lia Lee was diagnosed with severe epilepsy, but her parents Foua and Nao Kao Lee, preferred animal sacrifices and herbal remedies as medical treatment for Lia.
Even though the doctors and the Lees wanted what was best for Lia, the lack of understanding between the hospital's pediatricians, who held to Western medicine, and the Lees, who adhered to rituals and beliefs of their ancestors, led to Lee eventually slipping into a coma and living in a vegetative state for 26 years before dying in 2012 at age 30.
In the book, Fadiman explains that the Hmong culture sees illness and healing as spiritual matters linked to everything in the universe, while the American medical community marks a division between body and soul. Lia's doctors' ascribed her seizures to the misfiring of cerebral neurons while her parents called the illness qaug dab peg, meaning "the spirit catches you and you fall down."
After spending many hours with the Lee family, Fadiman has made it a goal to share what she learned to shed light on the need for physicians to become cross-culturally competent. This may even include allowing patients from other cultures to practice self-treatment or homeopathic medicine.
"As medical professionals we should not discourage self-treatment unless it is harmful to the patient," she said. "You don't have to agree with the patient, but you must respect their opinion so they will trust you."
Fadiman said that there should be more and better interpreters in the medical field, and that pharmacists and doctors should be prepared to ask open-ended questions of their patients.
"You must see the illness from the patient's point of view by asking them questions like, 'What do you call this illness?' or 'What do you think caused this illness?'"
Fadiman acknowledged that there is not an easy solution to the cross-cultural problem in the American medical system and encouraged students to learn as much as possible about the variety of cultures of potential patients.
Fadiman, the daughter of Annalee Whitmore Jacoby Fadiman, a screenwriter and foreign correspondent, and Clifton Fadiman, an essayist and critic, was born in New York City in 1953. She graduated in 1975 from Harvard College, where she began her writing career as the undergraduate columnist at Harvard Magazine. For many years, she was a writer and columnist for Life, and later an editor-at-large at Civilization. She has won national magazine awards for both reporting (1987) and essays (2003). Fadiman was the editor of the intellectual and cultural quarterly The American Scholar from 1997 to 2004. She now holds the Francis Chair in Nonfiction Writing at Yale. Fadiman lives in western Massachusetts.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think the idea, beyond simply being a gold sink, is to discourage players from just using it for extra storage of every day items. I mean, if they wanted to just give us 80 more bank slots, they could do that. They didn't, so presumably, they want some mechanism to keep players from using it that way.
My guess is, we will be able to transmogrify directly from void storage, so ultimately it should be a matter of putting something in there and leaving it there, forever.

Art Deco building in Traverse City, Michigan.
(my photo)
For the person asking "where the fuck this is"—it's in Traverse City, Michigan (as indicated above). I'm sorry, I don't recall the exact location of the building or what it houses.
Update: Sorry towardsnirvana, you're wrong. It *is* in Traverse City. It's an old service station. Here's a blog post from Michigan Architecture with more photos.
Stunning! Reminds me of the Emerald City.

"Bella Bellawood"
Beautiful, durable hardwood flooring
Date created: 2011-02-22

"Our house has been greatly improved"
We went with Bellawood prefinished hardwood floors because we wanted the real deal, and also because we had heard good things about their installation process. The thing I like best about our floors, besides all of the technical aspects like durability and lifespan, is simply the color scheme we ended up choosing. The color we picked is called American Cherry, and it has a richness that I haven't seen with other hardwood floors. The prefinished hardwood we picked already had gloss and the protectants it needed, so from the second it was laid down it already had this great sheen to it. Basically, it really breathed life and sophistication into our home. We originally had carpet, and you wouldn't believe how these hardwood floors changed our home, and our feelings about our home. We are much more proud of where we live, and we have hosted more events and parties at our home since the change. I would definitely recommend that friends and family use Bellawood. This company has great options, and they were really helpful and informative with all of the steps in the process.

"Bellawood Brand Is Bad News"
I have had ugly green carpet installed in my home for many years since I did not have it removed when I bought the house but I have always wanted to get rid of it. So about a year and a half ago I decided to go out and search for some hardwood flooring. The reason I wanted hardwood floors is because I like the clean, elegant look of it and I know that they are durable and easy to clean. After a few weeks of searching I decided to go with Belladonna because of the good prices they had for their flooring options. I had the floors installed by professionals and at first they held up pretty well. But about six months ago I began to see changes. The floors are beginning to lose their shape and they are deforming, especially at the corners where the floor boards meet. The boards have begun to bend and disfigure underneath table legs, chair legs, and underneath other appliances. I thought that I had gotten a good deal but now I see they are worth the money you pay for them: not much. I am very disappointed in the product and I would like to warn anyone thinking about buying Belladonna to rethink their decision. There are better options out there and I am now starting to believe it when they say you get what you pay for.

"Great Flooring at an Incredible Price"
When remodeling our house about two and a half years ago, we decide that the 1970s shag carpet needed to go. It was covered with urine stains from the previous owner's sick cats, and collected far too much dust for us to live in comfort. We went to Lumber Liquidators, because of their boasts of record low flooring prices with designer quality, and ended up choosing Bellawood's oak flooring. We hired a local Amish family to install the flooring, and have not regretted the installation even once. The floor is the perfect color for hiding dirt and dust, and my husband often jokes about how I can get away with not vacuuming too much now that we no longer have white carpet. It has been very scratch resistant; even with our Labrador retriever and Springer spaniel constantly running on it with their sharp claws, I have only noticed one small scratch, and that was from dropping a knife on the floor blade down. We have never had to replace the floor or repair it, although as previously stated, we've only had it two and a half years. I would recommend this floor to anyone who is looking for a good deal but also great quality.

"Love my Bellawood Floors For the Most Part"
We installed Bellawood Brazilian Cherry Hardwood Floors in our home about two and a half years ago. We shopped for a while before deciding on the Bellawood floors, and decided to go with them due to the long warranty (25 years) and the very reasonable pricing. We used one of the installers that the store recommended, and the installation went very well and the floors look beautiful when they are really clean. Really beautiful - we really love how they look. The only downside is that they are hard to keep clean and we have yet to find a good product that cleans but doesn't leave a residue on the floor. The cleaner that the store recommends doesn't leave them shiny without a ton of buffing and I just don't have the time for that. Short story is - beautiful wood floors, but they take a lot of work to maintain and keep looking nice.

"Effectiveness of wood floors"
Whether you're looking for a contemporary look, or even a stylish living space, hard wood flooring can be your next one stop solution to your home decorations. Giving off an aura of lavishness and a touch of professionalism, hard wood flooring creates an effect that is incomparable. I've owned Bellawood red oak flooring for 6 years, and I haven't had any problems at all. The main positives would be the impact it has on the house, and not to mention, the coziness it gives to the other rooms. The only dislike I could see fit, would be the temperature of the floors in the winter months. Other than that, wood flooring has no maintenance, and surpasses any other choices of carpet, etc. I've already recommended these flooring panels to all my friends, and in fact, I've two close relatives who also purchased these panels. If I had it any other way, I would have my daughters, and sons partake in these decadent and cozy wood floors.

"Wood flooring that's sturdy as the tree it came from."
While looking for a house to buy we knew nothing of the value and beauty of wood flooring. The smaller starter home we purchased we had new Bella Wood red oak flooring installed in the dining room. Not only is it warmer than the tile in the kitchen but it's held up better. The 2 years of traffic have resulted in very little wear despite constant use. It's also brought the attention of several our guests--who are interested in replacing their laminate flooring for something "more substantial". We plan of building our next home in the next three or four years, and with our current experience, it will very likely include more wood flooring. After browsing the local home supply store we've decided we like darker wood flooring the best. The only complaint we've had was mostly poor maintenance on our part. There is a Kool-aid stain under the table what will likely never come out. We've since been applying the proper coating to seal and protect the wood. With no repairs needed we'll definitely be recommending Bella Wood to anyone who asks.

"Bellawood Flooring Rocks!"
We have had our Bellawood American Cherry flooring for about 2 years now and we couldn't be more satisfied. We purchased the flooring from a local supplier and installed them ourselves. I was very happy with the ease of installation and the quality of the product itself. It is very sturdy and has held up well with our 5 children and a dog. Cleaning them is actually a chore that our daughters almost fight over! As I stated, the floors have held up very well so far and I have not had to replace or repair anything since installation. Scratches and blemishes are not noticeable at all, and the deeper ones are easily buffed out. I have also not noticed any warping or bowing that occurs over time with hardwood flooring. I would, without hesitation, buy this product again or recommend it to a friend. My family and I are very happy with the choice we made when purchasing this product.

"I love my Bella Wood Flooring"
I have had my Bella flooring for two years now and love it. It is so easy to clean and looks like new still. At first I thought the floor was going to be cold in the winter to my bare feet but it's not a problem. I'm thinking about putting the wood floors in every room in my house as I need to replace the flooring. It's so much easier to keep clean than carpet. And I don't have as much trouble with my alergies the less carpet I have. I didn't expect that to be a bonus to having the Bella wood floors. Since I have installed my floors, so have my sister and mother. They love my floors as much as I do. I tell all my friends about how easy they are to clean and how much better I feel. Bella wood flooring is one of the best investments I've made in my home.

"My flooring is just RIGHT"
I absolutely love my wood-floor because it's smooth doesn't make scrath mark, nor it doesn't make water stangs (absolutely water proof).

Christmas isn't over yet. Because donations to the Tree of Lights campaign remain 10 percent behind 2012's contributions, the Salvation Army announced Thursday the campaign has been extended until January 31st.
As of Wednesday, the campaign has raised $2,525,703, which is 85 percent of the $3 million goal.
The Salvation Army served approximately 170,000 people in Omaha in 2013. More than 20 social service programs depend on the success of the holiday campaign.
"We are seeing more people who have not had to ask for help in the past," said Linda Burkle, divisional director of social services. "Without adequate funding these services, which are a lifeline to so many people, will need to be cut."
Donations may be made online at GiveSalvationArmy.org, by texting OMAHA to 80888 (message and data rates apply) or by mailing them to The Salvation Army Tree of Lights Campaign, 10755 Burt Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68114.

Completely Natural Cleaning for Your Baby. Every caregiver wants what's best for their children and the world they will grow up in. Studies show that children are disproportionately affected by daily exposures to toxic chemicals. But caregivers often had to choose between products that worked and products that were healthy for their baby and the planet. Until now.When chlorine and chlorine derivatives are used in industrial processes (such as bleaching paper and wood pulp), they produce substances called chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can persist in the environment, accumulate in animals and people, and can be toxic to human and environmental health. Hypoallergenic, whitened without chemicals containing chlorine, unscented, and alcohol free, Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Baby Wipes are perfect for around the house. Seventh Generation Baby Wipes are moistened with natural aloe vera, vitamin E, and water to cleanse gently and naturally.

[imp] Particularly goofy UW-IMAPD error with ONE user Brett Charbeneau Thu Apr 05 08:05:37 2012I'd be most grateful for any hints or suggestions anyone can find the time to offer!
The specifics: MAIL SERVER: Debian 5.0.9; Sendmail 8.14.3; uw-imapd 7:2007b WEBMAIL SERVER: Debian 5.0.8; Horde 3.2.2; Imp 4.2 (Debian packages) DEV WEBMAIL SERVER: Debian 5.0.9; Horde 3.3.12; Imp 4.3.10 (Horde tarball)I have a user who is able to use our webmail server (which accesses our mail server via IMAP on port 143) without issue. When he tries to log into the Dev server with the newest version of Horde and Imp on it, he receives
"Error when communicating with the server."errors from Horde. On the dev server he can view most of his mail folders, but not all. The permissions and ownership of these folders is identical. An attempt to access the INBOX shows only unread messages and gives the same error. The uw-imapd daemon lists no error and I cannot find a way to crank up the debug level. Horde on the dev server lists no error in the logs. The user has not mbox file in their home directory. I have deleted the user and his home directory from the mail server and recreated them - same result: works on the webmail server, but not on the dev server. I also tried recreating the user with an empty INBOX - again, only unread messages show. I have deleted all the users preferences from all Horde applications on the dev server by issuing a
DELETE FROM horde_prefs WHERE pref_uid = 'username'; command in MySQL - same result when using the dev server. I am reluctant to create a /etc/c-client.cffile for uw-imapd since it works flawlessly for all other users on the production server and for the small group (10 users) I have testing the dev server. I realize uw-imapd is not the BEST IMAP choice, but I can't figure out why it works well for everyone except this one user. I'm also loathe to start a new IMAP roll out on a production mail server when it behaves very well with Outlook clients hitting it on port 993 (IMAP over SSL).

Before & After: A Revamped Guest Room
It was a hot pink curtain that started the ball rolling on Jae's guest room makeover. She kept the furniture, painted the walls and tackled a DIY headboard to give this room a fresh, mature update.
Jae tells us:
I really wanted to add fuchsia curtains somewhere in our home. I decided on the guest room and that sparked a domino effect of other changes. I like the idea of letting the fabrics and accessories shine with color so I painted the walls white. All the main pieces are items I already had (and were in the 'old' room) I just updated them with paint and/or fabric. I was most excited about making my own burlap headboard. It makes such a big difference. The total makeover came in at $260 which is less than buying a brand new headboard.
What a great example of the new life that budget, DIY tweaks can bring to a room!

Thanks Jae!

The yellow and white pillow in the first photo would have looked fabulous in the second photo.
the white walls make the room much brighter, and i love the still-blue ceiling. but in my opinion, the pink is too much (well, probably because I don't like pink :)), but i would have gone with more blue&yellow instead of the pink. the fabric over the table lets the room feel smaller than it is.
really cool chair at the end of the bed!
I love it! I especially like the punch of the nautical stripe on the bench next to the pink curtains.
Not a fan of bright pink - but it works great in this setting. Congrats on a terrific revamp: the room looks fresh, modern, fun -- and comfortable. Great use of fabric!
When those curtains are pulled closed, the color in the room must be delightful.
I love the new room! Just not the side table. I'm just never a fan of tables with those fabric skirts. It seems very granny.
I kind of like the "Before" better, but they both look great.
The "before" was very nice but the after really sings.
I love everything about the "After". I'd love it even more with some different curtains that fit with the overall theme you've got going on in the rest of the room. Everything else says, "Classic" and those curtains just pull it right into something entirely different.
Looks great. I agree with mosaicwench that the yellow pillow would be great in the new room.
Really like the headboard, bench and dresser. But I think you should add some more colour, it doesn't feel as a finished room now. How about some yellow bedlinen? And I don't know what's under the fabric, but your side table screams granny. If you don't like the side table, you could probably get one for cheap (or do a fabulous DIY with the one you have now :) ) and it would look so much prettier! I agree that the yellow pillow would fit just perfectly in the room. And, I'm not so fond of pink myself, but I would suggest to add some pink accessoiries so the colour of your curtains is more integrated in the room. Oh well, those are just some things silly me would do :)
My parents have never had a guest room and I currently live in a studio, but I remember one tip on the subject is that maybe you want to not fill up all the surfaces with things so guests will actually have room for their stuff? Those bedside tables look very full....
I really liked the before but the after is so much better. Kept it colorful (I was sure the after was going to be neutrals) but made it more sophisticated. Very well done!
Definitely glad to see the blue walls gone! I absolutely love the pink curtains too:)
fab redo
Hooray Jae. I see some thought and effort in your "after" that makes me smile. That's a room any guest would find welcoming. Lovely.
I can't resist a couple of suggestions for tweaks if you have the time and inclination. Note about the fabric covered side table- If you sew, you might add a heavy lining to the back to give the cover some body and improve the read of it's overall quality OR change it out to a heavier and lined, small-geometric-print pink fabric (whew). If you keep what you have, you could run a pink fabric band around the bottom so that it now reaches the floor and you will be able to control the "drape" of the skirt. As is, this skirt lacks porportion, substance and grace and does not reflect the fun and sophistication of the rest of the room. Fabric covered tables work beautifully when they are well made and tailored. Add a piece of glass to the top for polish and finesse.
Bring back the yellow pillow of rosettes from the before. It is great looking in the scheme of things.
Lastly, the bench at the foot of the bed is functional and very chic in that wide stripe. You might wonder about painting the legs in white.
"Carry on, designer". To quote Tim
I get a "London Modern" vibe from this "After". And that is a good thing. Love this-- Good job.
I think this is a great, affordable re-do. I get the others' comments about your side tables, but not everyone has the funds to run out and buy new things. I think style is also about finding ways to use what you already have with a few improvements, and in that vein, this is a great makeover! I love the fresh combo of fuchsia, navy, and white.
I have only a couple of quibbles. As another person who dislikes pink, the curtains seem a bit out of place by themselves. Maybe in the space, the pink trimmed pillow is enough, but in the photos, I think you need another jolt of the color to balance. Maybe a new tablecloth for the bedside table? Or covering a lampshade?
The other thing is that, although I love the sumburst mirror over the bed, it's scale is too small for that space by itself. It would help if it were flanked by something on either side (candle sconces? small framed art?) Something a bit smaller than the mirror in visual mass, two things about the same.
Thanks for the feedback. I am not of fan of the 'granny' night table myself but have to use what I have. I plan on updating it with fabric by layering a graphic pattern on top.
Awesome after! I love the bright pink curtains and the headboard. Nicely done! I like your idea about doing the layer on top of the 'granny' night table. Good idea!
The wall color is definitely a huge improvement! Great after.
Man, a lot of people don't like pink. Well,I LOVE it. I suspect the sunlight is making it "ring" a little more neon than it really is too. But this room went from Ashwell to Adler, and I'm all for it. The "after" is more chic and smart to me. The before was very sweet, but a little vanilla. I think I've gone through a very similar design "paradigm shift" in the past few years, so I truly appreciate and applaud the move.
Love it. It looks so much more pulled-together, and it has the quieter personality a guest room should have without feeling like a generic hotel suite.
And don't let the pink haters drag you down! The curtain is beautiful.
It's like it went from tween to adult. Great job.
I think the striped bench at the foot of the bed is my favorite.
I like the soothing blue from the "before" better.

Are the springs drying up?
No, but they almost surely look different from the last time you saw them. Most of these springs are intermittent in their activity. The direction of flow down the hillside and the amount of water discharged by the springs changes all the time. Those of us who live here and are lucky enough to visit these springs often notice changes even on a day-to-day basis. We think that although individual springs dry up, there are at the same time new springs forming and other springs that become more active so that the overall volume of water discharged by all the springs remains fairly constant. Just because it doesn't look the same today as it did last time you were here doesn't mean that it won't look the way you remember again some day.
Are the elk outside the visitor center tame?
No, but they have, to some degree, lost their fear of humans. They are still unpredictable. During the rut or mating season, the bull elk are extremely aggressive and are agitated easily. In the fall of 1994, a couple of dozen vehicles were damaged by the bulls attacking the cars. In the spring, cows with calves can also be dangerous if approached too closely.
What were these old buildings?
The row of stone and wooden buildings facing the Mammoth Hotel were the officers' quarters for the U.S. Cavalry from 1891 to 1918. Take the Fort Yellowstone Online Tour for more information.
Can we swim in the hot springs?
It is illegal to swim in park thermal features (it damages the resource and is very unsafe), but you may swim in bodies of water fed by runoff from thermal features. An established spot is on the Gardner River two miles north of Mammoth on the North Entrance road; this spot is known as Boiling, or Hot, River. It is only open during daylight hours, and it temporarily closes during periods of high water.
What can we do at Mammoth in the winter?
You can try snowmobiling, snowcoach tours, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, hot tub rental, soaking in Boiling River, wildlife observation, self-guided tour of Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Terraces, ranger programs, Albright Visitor Center (museum and films), and/or drive to Cooke City.

MARINETTE COUNTY, Wis. (WTAQ) - Marinette County Sheriff's say human remains were found inside what's left of a house that burned down Tuesday.
Fire crews were called to a fire on Digger Court near Deer Lake Road in the Town of Stephenson around 2 a.m. When firefighters arrived, the home and a detached garage were engulfed in flames.
During the investigation, officers were worried the person who lived at the house was inside. Around noon, excavation of the scene revealed the human remains, which have not been identified.

Salzburg, Austria
My Rating
This trip is amazing. Bit rushed, some people were doing a full day and some were only doing the salt mines so there was a bit of picking up and dropping off different people. Quite confusing. We were picked up from our hotel which was great and the guide was very knowledgeable and funny. The views are amazing and the salt mines were really interesting. Stopped at the most beautiful lake and a lovely Bavarian town for lunch. Highly recommend this tour.
Salzburg, Austria
My Rating
Half day trip which was really enjoyable, the caves were beautiful but it really is very steep and the climb is really hard. Do not underestimate the climb (like me) The guide was really good and knowledgeable. Worth half a day to see this.

(Fox News) White House Press Secretary Jay Carney apparently isn't reading his hometown paper.
The Washington Post carried a fairly explosive story on Wednesday about a $34 million military headquarters in southwestern Afghanistan that probably will never be used by U.S. forces. A scathing inspector general letter was also released Wednesday morning on the war-zone boondoggle.
But asked on Thursday whether President Obama was outraged by the waste, Carney said he hadn't heard anything about it.
"I would have to take the question. I haven't seen the report," Carney said.

PLAYERS: Doug Martin, Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins
Rookie running back Doug Martin had a historic day against the Oakland Raiders, rushing for over 200 yards, and four touchdowns.Photo Credit: USAtoday.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Doug Martin, born in Oakland, had one of those memorable games in his homecoming. In Week 9 against the Raiders, Martin' scampered for 251 rushing yards on 25 carries, four of which went for touchdowns. 220 of Martin's 251 yards came on his carries in the second half, as did all four of his touchdowns. Martin's four touchdowns came on rushes of 45, 67, 70, and finally one yard, all of which were a piece of art. He was juking th Raiders out of their shoes left and right. This week marked Martin's second consecutive game with over 200 all-purpose yards after his explosion in Minneapolis last Thursday night, where he rushed for over 130 yards and caught a 64-yard touchdown pass. Martin has four touchdowns of more than 45 yards in just two games. It's also the first time since at least 1940 that a running back has scored on three rushes of 45 yards or more, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. In almost any other year, Martin might be a front-runner for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. However, with the talent at quarterback in Andrew Luck, who broke the rookie single-game passing record, and Robert Griffin III, it's looking unlikely – if not impossible – that Doug Martin will take home that honor. Likely the most important part of this game for Martin was the victory, as his Bucs took down the Raiders 42-32, led, obviously, by Martin. They advanced to 4-4 on the season and are in the hunt for a wild card spot behind only the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. Note: The final box score is a bit deceiving in this one. Martin rushed 22 times for 265 yards before the last drive, when he rushed three times for -14 yards. Without those three rushes where the Raiders stacked the box, his stats look much more impressive. Nonetheless, it was a historic day for the rookie.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
At first I was open to the small school concept and didn't take the score serious . My son attended only one year , and unfortunately had a very bad experience . His first grade teacher seem very lazy and unprofessional in her persona and education towards the kids . Not once did I get any graded papers back or test scores to see the improvemt of my son . They have a morning round up for the kids and have a very unprofessional teacher get the kids excited by speaking to them in slang language " yo yo good morning kids" are you serious ! What are they teaching them . Also join he class for a school field trip and was very disappointed to see the way they watched the kids , the gave they parents 3 kids and let everyone go on their own , who's to say those parents are qualify of even safe around my son . I am not saying about all the staff there , but as far as my experience it was not the best. I would not give it a chance .
Beaumont is really a very special school! It has a "neighborhood" school feel to it, and the PTA really gets everyone involved. The teachers there are very experienced, and a couple staff members even went to Beaumont as a kid themselves! The Family Reading program is totally unique as it focuses on parents and kids reading together, and hosts "Family Fridays" where hundreds of parents are welcomed in to read with small groups of children. There is a new principal who just started, and is charting a positive course for the school that will only make Beaumont better. Parents are so excited for the new changes, and the future of our school. Go Beaumont Bears!
Awful school!!! The Principal is highly unprofessional. Clearly is not out to help child or parents. She is very rude when speaking to and will not work with you. The teachers you can tell do NOT want to be there because they were forced to be at school because of the the lay offs and there low scoring.
There is a strong sense of community at Beaumont. The teachers, principal, and staff care about their school and their students and are dedicated to helping every child succeed. Beaumont is like one big family and we are happy to have this gem right here in our own neighborhood!
Awesome school. Amazing staff. We transfer our kids to go here. Quite possibly the best kindergarten teacher I have ever known. And I have worked at 3 different elementary schools and attend another.
Love the teachers, I have 3 children that have been and are still at Beaumont. They have frequent family events and everyone really takes care of eachother.
I have 2 children attending Beaumont Elementary. We relocated from Oceanside School District and my children have been attending Beaumont. My oldest is a special needs student and the teachers and staff have been so wonderful. My sons previous school took a whole school school year and never finished an 'IEP' for my son. When we moved and changed districts, the Staff at beaumont got right on it and set a meeting to organize this the first couple of weeks after he started his lessons. Everyone there is so friendly my kids will stay at Beaumont.
I have been so happy with my children's experience at Beaumont Elementary. The staff has been wonderful. My children are receiving a great education. There is such a good, family-like feeling at the school. I've had children there for the past 5 years and have loved their teachers. They have the greatest family reading program there also. The program is run by a wonderful volunteer, Miss Natalie, who is such a blessing to the school. I love Beaumont Elementary!
Beaumont Is a wonderful place for learning! I have personally seen it! the teachers are great! I DO make it a point to participate in my daughters class. (No parent out there can have ANY credibility to their statements about a school unless they are IN the classroom.) I highly encourage anyone looking for a great community school to look at Beaumont. The teachers, principal and VP are doing a great job. Keep it up Beaumont!
My son just graduated from Beaumont and it is a great school! The teachers are diverse and give an overall education. They love their jobs and the school. New, great administration last year and a PTA that is more involved and looking at increasing extracurricular activities at minimal costs. There are some negative comments about this school because of the demographics, but you're cutting yourself short if you don't look at this school closer! It's a great neighborhood school with stellar teachers!
Beaumont has been a pleasure to have my son attend. The teachers are great and seem to genuinely embrace their roles as educators.
Beaumont has been such a wonderful place to have my daughter attend school. We considered private education but decided to give Public Ed a try. The staff as a whole have been great! We (as a society) need to hear that our public schools really are doing great things . . .I see them happening at Beaumont!
Beaumont has been a blessing to my family. Both my son and daughter have special needs and the school has gone above and beyond to provide assistance to them. The principal and teachers are very involved with all students and parents. They encourage greatness and peacebuilding. The school also boasts wonderful after-school programs like music and art. My children are the third generation to attend Beaumont and I really wouldn't have it any other way.
This school reminds me of the family atmosphere of a private school. As a parent, if you have questions or concerns even before your child starts school their happy to help. They have good teachers and generally actually really care about the kids. Above all other schools in the area, I chose this school.
Academically, I believe that the school was great. However, extracurricular activities and parent involvement were not the best. It didn't seem that the school offered any, and if it did, it was for a very large fee. If you are interested in school pride and involvement, Beaumont wouldn't be the place. We have decided to not continue there for next year.

Boating is certainly one of the most relaxing and carefree activities you can do on the water, however it does not come without its risk. If youve ever run aground or hit a submerged object, you know the inherent danger in operating a boat, even if you are an avid operator.
Unfortunately, boat collisions are an all-too-common occurrence, regardless of how well you prepare behind the wheel. In fact, boat collisions are far more prevalent than boat theft.
How to Protect Your Vessel
Besides preparing for your sailing expedition, using Marine charts and having safety equipment such as EPIRBs and sonar devices installed onboard, you can better protect yourself, your passengers and your boat by having comprehensive boat insurance.
Most Common Boat Insurance Claims
Most boaters enjoy the season without a problem. However, some do have an accident, whether it was at-fault or not. Submerged objects are the most common boat insurance claim, mainly due to the high frequency of submerged logs or debris in water, and the fact they usually cannot be seen until theyve already hit the engine. Below is a list of the most common boat insurance claims:
Hitting a submerged object while cruising
Theft while anchored
Collision with other boats while boating
Storm damage while moored
Theft while in storage
Accidental damage while cruising
Flooding while moored
Sinking while moored
Owner negligence while cruising
Accidental damage while moored
Thefts while anchored are more likely to occur during the warmer summer boating months, so it is important to remember a few practical tips to prevent the theft of your boating equipment and supplies while the boat is anchored:
Understanding your boats limits before you push off, knowing the weather and tides, and properly installing safety and navigational equipment are the key in preventing accidents while boating.
If you do have an accident, being protected by the right boat insurance is paramount. At NBOA Marine Insurance, we know accidents happen. Whether it is a broken propeller or a more serious accident, NBOA is there to help you get back on the water safely.

What is the future of libraries?
Libraries withdraw (either throw out, resale, or recycle) print materials all the time. Many libraries say that these print materials are being replaced by resources on the web or non print resources. But with the rising costs of subscriptions, licensing, legal issues involved with copyright, privacy and what not, how can libraries provide access to all of these types of materials? Are libraries throwing out some of our heritage when withdrawing print materials? Where are libraries heading and how can they navigate the waters of freedom of expression in a digital age, security, public access, or free services.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 14 2011: I agree with Debra that libraries are much more than books or e-books. They provide a large array of services. In my area, the large academic library has labtops, iPads, cameras, and bikes to loan out. They have journals in print and online from around the world. During finals, they have programs to help students destress. However, in order to meet all of these demands, it takes more money each year. And from what I've seen, towns and institutions are giving less to libraries. Take Oregon or Boston where branches have been closed.

Thy truth, Oh sweet melody
Spoken clearly, placidly
Embracing simplicity
Oh thy divine purity
Calming, graceful, Oh tranquil
Chanting spiritual will
Thy inspiring strength standstills
Melodious, heaving still
Thy sweetest keen stature clings
Curving blossomed agile limbs
Fields, high and low hills, clear rills
Plenty of lone daffadils
Dreams gleaming, giggles, goodness
Goodwill, rareness, Oh fairness
Carefree, awe tender-hearted
Innocence, strongly guarded
Vigils tuned serenity
Wildest glowing thrills eerie
Thy protect awe thy cherish
Oh whisper life, wither bliss
A thousand abundant years
True shall thy live, Oh so near
Neither heart nor soul bare age
Infinite love, bow bondage
Gentle sensitive nocturnes
Musical cadence sojourns

I've just moved my PC to Windows 8, so thought I'd take a look at Office 2013 - when downloading it from VLSC, it also tells me I need to do various things to our server first. Is that difficult, and what are the risks? At present, this is on S2008R2 and just for my use, but I don't want to do anything which I'll regret when we come to change servers or roll this out wider.
Advice and warnings welcome - thanks!

The new Bonnaroo website launched yesterday (http://bonnaroo.com) with a whole new look and feel. The line-up is rumored to be released at some point next week, however this photo started circulating the web about 16 hours ago. The source claims they saw this line-up on the Bonnaroo website for a short period while the site was being updated yesterday. It looks pretty legit; do you think it's true? One thing I know for sure is if I hadn't bought a ticket the week after Bonnaroo ended last year, I'd be on it ASAP. This is one festival you don't want to miss.

Three Small Changes That Are Helping Me Feel Happier in My Kitchen
I tend to do most of my spring cleaning in January — there's just something about the whole vibe of fresh starts and the new year that drives to me to bedroom closet and kitchen cupboards to do a clean sweep. This past week, my partner Sam has been out of town so I've really spent some time going through drawers and cupboards and donating items we're just not using to create some fresh space in the kitchen.
So now we have more counter space and I can actually find what I'm looking for, which makes any home cook happy. Here are three more small changes that have been making me happier in the kitchen.
In addition to having an organized kitchen, I've found three small ways to feel more fulfilled and eager to spend time cooking and eating at home. If you have any little tweaks or changes you've made this year, I'd love to hear yours too. I find the smaller and more manageable the change, the more likely you'll actually carry through with it and adopt it as a new habit or routine. So without further ado, here's what's making me happy lately:
1. Heating milk for coffee and tea.
This sounds very small, I realize. But I learned this from my Aunt Vanessa who always takes time to heat up the milk for her coffee or oatmeal on the stovetop each morning and puts it in a sweet little pitcher. Myself? I usually pour a glug of cold milk into my coffee and end up having to microwave it within five minutes to heat it back up.
Taking the time to warm the milk instead makes morning coffee feel a bit more special, and eliminates the numerous trips back to the microwave.
2. Doing all the dishes at night.
For many of us, getting into the kitchen to cook a homemade meal can be a challenge for many reasons: time is a big one. Lack of inspiration or motivation is another. For me, a big deterrent is a sink full of dishes. We often cook dinner together at home but we don't always do the dishes that night — often leaving them for the next morning. And there's nothing that makes me want to prepare breakfast less than looking at the previous night's dishes. So as much as I don't always feel like tackling them, we've been making an effort to get the kitchen spiffy before we head to bed for the night.
3. Keeping bowls of fresh fruit at the ready.
This is another very small change, but lately I've been noticing I'm not eating as much fresh fruit as I'd like to be — with the gray days of winter, this isn't necessarily surprising. But I've also noticed that if a big bowl is out in plain sight, it triggers a visual reminder and I'll grab an apple or an orange for a snack instead of a handful of nuts or trail mix. Plus, a big bowl of oranges on the table just looks pretty and bright.
Any small changes you're making for a fresh start this January?

Interestingly, using cold milk/cream in your coffee actually keeps the coffee hotter for longer.
It sounds obvious, but meal planning is the best thing ever. Last week we had 3 meals picked out, and grocery lists made up for them, so I could stop at the store, grab things for 1 or 2 meals, go home, and cook without thinking too much. This week we didn't do that, and it was TORTURE. I ate toast for dinner one night because I didn't want to think about it. So that is going to be a routine, to make cooking dinner a much happier time!
I love these ideas, especially heating milk for coffee or tea. My aunt always heated the milk for coffee in the mornings when I visited her in Europe a few years ago and it definitely made it feel extra special. I really try to do the dishes before bed, but sometimes my laziness wins out!
Coffee with cold milk may stay hot longer than black coffee, but adding hot milk definitely keeps it hotter than cold milk. It really does make a huge difference.
If your house is chilly in the morning like mine is, heating up your mug with hot water while you wait for your coffee to be ready also makes big difference. I can't stand lukewarm coffee!
It does not, however, keep it hotter for longer than using heated milk/cream.
I'm trying to keep fresh flowers in the kitchen all the time. So cheerful when it's ugly outside!
I also like to have a nice clean kitchen the morning. Even if I'm tired at night, it's just so much nicer to wake up to a clean kitchen to start the day.
I second fresh flowers! I never bought any until recently- I just love them!
Washing dishes at night=a not happy me. Dishwashers changed my life. Alternatively, you could also chop and dehydrate some of that fruit, and put it into your trail mix. Before morning smoothies, that's how I got pretty much all of my berries, and most of my grapes.
My fiance does the dishes, so he washes them in the morning or when he comes home for lunch (he walks like 2 blocks to work), and/or at night (he's a boy - he washes one dish drainer load at a time - so of course for him that's like 8-10 things; when I do dishes, it's like 20+ things) and then the dishes are mostly done and cleaned when it's time for me to make dinner.
I've found that multi-tasking actually helps a lot. While my oatmeal is in the microwave for 2.5 minutes every morning, I put away last night's dishes and if I have extra time, clear counters and feed the dog (who gets her own mini bowl of oatmeal, plain, with milk - I get maple syrup on mine).
Having chopped veggies for snacks is helpful for us for healthier eating. I started doing this a long time ago, but freezing at least half of all dinner leftovers and packing the rest in mason jars for lunch as made it MUCH easier to eat up leftovers. If I put the leftovers in a big container (like a glass baking dish with a lid), I'm much less likely to eat it all up before it goes bad.
I keep my hot drinks hot by drinking them out of thermal to-go cups, even at home.
Great ideas - thank you. I started
1. Mise en place - preparing all ingredients & tools for a recipe before I start has made a HUGE difference in my experience in the kitchen
2. Music - I play pandora and continuously stream music which always puts me in a good mood ... I don't mind doing dishes when there's music playing!
3. Lazy susans in my pantry - I organized all my spices, oils and balsamic vinegars and now it's easy to get to them and makes my menu planning more creative!
Here's a odd, simple thing that I really enjoy… I put my kitchen tools into the drawer handle end first. The business ends are then visible when I open the drawer. It makes it so much easier to simply grab the correct tool. The small little area at the very front of the drawer then has my goto whisk, my measuring spoons and a few other small things that I use a lot.
I second the bowl of fruit idea! I love having a bowl of mandarines on the coffee table and another bowl of apples and bananas in the kitchen. I am much more likely to grab one on my way out the door for a snack at work or pick up a mandarin when I'm watching tv at night. Plus it looks very pretty and also keeps my fridge clear for other things!


text: About a month and a half ago, I just bought a 2014 Focus ST, fully loaded and I must say wow!, I'm impressed. The performance of the car is amazing for what it is. The interior is very nice, with the Recaro racing seats and the whole dash assembly itself. I had a car with aftermarket suspension (shocks and coil overs) but I know this Focus would handle a lot better around corners. I wish the Focus RS would come to America, but this ST was no regret to purchase. I'm not complaining one bit about the performance of this car, but I think Ford could have put a little bigger turbo on it. but hey, what's made is made! Cobb Stage3 kit is going on it after warranty goes. Love it love it. Good job Ford, with the ST. It's a very photogenic car, but now its time for the RS to come to America!
