The final days of the 2013 session brought great news for Iowans who want to do more for their families, and for Iowa businesses in need of skilled employees.
Thanks to the largest investment ever in our community colleges, Iowans will get the chance to improve their skills, qualify for better jobs and fill openings at local businesses. A pilot project has shown this approach works. That's why we're investing more than $34 million to take it statewide.
Community colleges will be the place to go for Iowans who need to get their GED, learn basic skills, and earn industry-recognized certificates in welding, health care, technology and other areas. Job training highlights from the bipartisan Education Budget (HF 604) include:

Lindsey Vonn returns to action on the World Cup
Vail's Lindsey Vonn finished 18th Tuesday in a World Cup downhill training run at Lake Louise, Alberta, her first action in nearly a year. Four U.S. teammates finished ahead of her, led by Julia Mancuso, who was seventh.
After two more days of downhill training runs, there will be downhill races Friday and Saturday and a super-G on Sunday.
Vonn has won 14 times at Lake Louise, sometimes dubbed Lake Lindsey because of her dominance there, but she is taking a cautious approach to training runs after blowing out her right knee twice — at the 2013 world championships and again while training at Copper Mountain later that year.

While talk with the parents over the weekend they came up with a great idea. Knowing that we wanted to buy a duplex before or after the wedding, my parents wanted us to build a duplex on my brother's land instead, 106 The Avenue, Canley Vale. For me it's all good, have a granny flat for my parents to live in, they can travel all year round as they dont have any financial commitments. Her parent can stay with me if they want to settle down in Australia.
Before any construction can commerce, there are ground rules need to be laid out. Such as my parents dont have any say in my family matter, dont have key to access the house. If they can agree on this, only then that she is happy to accept this offer.

Hi Experts
I am trying to do western blotting of highly hydrophobic membrane (has 11 TM stretches) protein fused with MYC and GFP tags transfected in various mammalian cell lines. I have tried all options of western blotting used for hydrophobic membrane proteins with no results.
I am only able to see the smear and blob at the top of well/WB membrane and no band at expected size with boiling from one minute to 10 minutes.
As membrane proteins tends to get aggregate upon boiling. I tried to do various incubations in 2xSDS sample buffer as well as 2x Urea SDS sample buffer starting at room temperature to 37, 60, 70, 80 and 90 C. But I am not able to see band of my protein. While I am able to see the smear or blob at top even with one minute of boiling. So as suggested by experts and literature I tried incubations at all other lower temperatures, but I am not able to detect the band.
I have tried RIPA and 8M Urea CHAPS lysis buffers followed by standard 2X SDS samples buffers as well as 2xSDS buffer with 8 M urea.
In the normal scenario, membrane proteins WB usually work without boiling but I have no success.
Pl. let me know if you have any suggestion for this problem.

In the ancient tradition of epic poetry starting with the Babylonian tale of Gilgamesh, the Vedic tale of the Mahabharata, Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey, and to Virgil's Aeneid, The Parliament of Poets by Frederick Glaysher provides the reader with a modern-day epic poem. The form shaped by Greco-Roman standards, developed and grew as we find in Dante Alighieri's Inferno Canto, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and later in Lord Byron's Don Juan, John Milton's Paradise Lost, and the Spanish epic, El Cid. Twentieth Century epic poems include: The Cantos by Ezra Pound, Maximus by Charles Olson, Paterson by William Carlos Williams, and The Moon Says I Love You by Frank Stafford. Others who wrote in epic poetry style include Robinson Jeffers, who wrote from his life and perspective of mid-20th Century life in Big Sur, California, and H. Doolittle, who wrote of life in London during the late stages of WWII.
One of the features of epic poetry is an opening plea to the hero's muse. The opening line from Homer's Odyssey, begins:
"Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy."
John Milton's first words in Paradise Lost are "Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit/Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste/ Brought Death into the World, and all our woe."
Twentieth Century poet, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), epic poem, Trilogy, written in the latter stages of WWII, narrates life and the major themes of living through, recovering from, and redefining and rebuilding from the tragedies living through war. She wrote, "we have no map; / possibly we will reach haven, / heaven."
In the 21st Century, poets form the bridge between the ancient past, the recent past and the world of the future. Poet, Frederick Glaysher serves to erect a bridge that extends beyond the Earth's surface, to depict the human condition through the eyes, lips, and hearts of all the poets from all the ages of our history in his book, The Parliament of Poets. In the ancient tradition of epic poetry, The Parliament of Poets stands as one step in the bridge between the past and life as it unfolds in the 21st Century.
In the 20th Century, we humans had the first opportunity to view ourselves from a perspective beyond our earthly limits. It seems fitting that a parliament of poets from all cultures, all times, and all perspectives would meet on the moon at this time in history. In Book One of this twelve book epic, we discover that the Greek god, Apollo, has called all the poets of all times and nations together to consult on the meaning of modernity. Author, Frederick Glaysher, who has magically been transported to the surface of the Moon, begins his journey in the classic style of the epic poet, addressing his Muse:
"O Muse, O Maid of Heaven, O Circling Moon,
O lunar glory of the midnight sky,
I call on thee to bless thy servant's tongue,
descend upon thy pillar of light,
moonbeam blessings, that from my mouth
may pour out at least a fraction of the love
I hold for thee, sweet blessings, for service
to God's creation, and His Creative Word,
the Bible's thundering verses, Brahma
of the Upanishads, Allah, the Compassionate,
Buddha's meditative mystery,
Confucius and the Dao. "
Here Glaysher lays out the journey before his reader, as he sets out on this epic journey to the Moon. Beyond these first lines, we travel with the epic poem's narrator, the Persona.
An epic poem is meant to lead the reader/listener on a long serious narrative of an event or major challenge or issue that a society, group, or humankind in general face. We are meant to follow the trials and tribulations of the hero—the one who represents all of society or some characteristic aspect of a particular group—on the hero's journey to redeem, save, restore, or create a solution for the whole of humankind. In The Parliament of the Poets, the journey involves the hero, in this case, called the Persona. The Parliament called by Apollo, is set on the Moon at the site of the 1969 Apollo Landing, the Sea of Tranquility. From there, he is magically transported by a guide to the seven continents where he is to learn from the masters of the spiritual traditions and the poets.
In the classic epic poem, the hero suffers many challenges, meets many obstacles, and experiences what Joseph Campbell described as the Hero's journey, wherein the hero is called to a journey. In the case of Glaysher, he seems to have been called on July 21, 1969, when he first watched the blurry black and white television transmission of the first manned lunar landing on the Earth's Moon. As a 15-year old adolescent boy, Glaysher's journey began long before he wrote of his Persona standing before the nine muses at the Sea of Tranquility many years later. This hero's journey reflects the changes that he, as a man in this culture, experienced, of the vast wealth of knowledge and experience that helped shape his own life and that of his Persona in this epic poem.
At some point in the Hero's journey, one has the choice of accepting the challenge or not. Glaysher accepted the challenge in spite of the overwhelming struggle that it entailed. He expresses his sense of being in awe with what he has gathered and brought with him to the Moon meeting. The Persona comes into contact with the sum total of all his own learning, all the poets, ideas, traditions, mythology, and lore that have formed his life, his questions, and his present quest. The Persona realizes initially that he feels out of his depth being in the presence of so many other poets, from the moment he finds himself in being led by Cervante's Don Quixote, who greets him,
"So you've finally made it up here.
What's taken you so long?
Don't give me any of your excuses.
We've all been waiting for you."
At this point, the gathering of allies takes place, as is necessary in any heroic journey. The journey, the calling, the greeting, and the gathering are all the threshold experiences one has in preparation for a larger quest. In this case, the quest seems to be the total emergence of a lifetime of learning now being brought to the surface through the character of the Persona who is to be tested, challenged, and tried to determine how well his powers of discernment and his processing of knowledge have enabled him to glean the meaning he seeks.
The Persona and Glaysher's quest to discover the meaning of modernity against the backdrop of all the world's treasures of scientific thought and discovery, philosophic and spiritual traditions, information and technological innovation, and humanity's historical and collective experiences and dilemmas, places the Persona on the path of 21st Century humankind—the path to discover meaning, purpose, and existential salvation for a flawed and wounded world. At the threshold of his journey, the Persona realizes his challenge, and from there the adventure begins.
A hero must meet obstacles, and in the case of the Persona, the obstacles are both internal and external—very Jungian is our hero. The quest for individuation or the coming together in wholeness, is evident as we, the readers/listeners follow the trials and travels of our hero. In the case of the Persona, much of the struggle and the obstacles relate to whether or not he can find his way or know himself. The obstacles include his own fear, angst, lack of trust, and desire to understand, but not sure what he is meant to do, be, or learn. He is introduced to the different cultures he is to learn from and taken into their tribal rituals and initiations. The narratives of the tribes are told in sacred time and space—in ceremonies, the rituals of Dream time and awakenings. The Persona's role is to look for the thread that links and connects all—past to present, near to far, one group to all others. The story is further narrated to add the names of those more recent to the voyagers, explorers, and to come up with the new questions that will lead the hero/Persona forward on his journey.
Repeatedly, the Persona returns to the Moon to meet with the parliament and to receive further instructions. The Return is part of the hero's journey, and in this case, the ultimate Return seems to be happening on the Persona's quest to find meaning and purpose within, through experiencing how his knowledge, ability to use his words, and capacity for understanding provide him with the inspiration and connections he needs, as when tasked in Book IV by Krishna to use his gift of poetry to come out of the darkness of his own confusion and fear:
"You are the poet; where's the poem?
You bear a vision; where is its rendition?
You have a song; sing it for us?
Let go of the outcome; detach yourself.
You have a duty; where is the action?
Cast away all desire and fear.
You know the asuras; when will you slay them?
Do your duty; leave the rest to God."
Traditionally, epic poems were meant to be read or sung aloud, and passed along from one generation to the other, in the honored tradition of oral culture. One way to taste the fruit of this epic poem, is to read it aloud, for then the essence of the Persona's inner struggle becomes even more apparent. After trembling and bemoaning his inability to understand what he must do next after realizing how paralyzed he has become in the face of such greatness, the Persona recognizes, through his muse, the Moonlight Goddess, that her 'love is the essence of [his] devotion."
The Persona seems to envision his mission finally, "Deep in my heart I reflected on what / had transpired, vowing to find some way / to convey it to the world, if life and time / should be granted to me by the gods." Finding the question at the heart of modern humankind's quest—how can I use my precious gifts to express myself and serve others? How can I bring something of purpose, worth, and meaning into being, through this life I have been privileged to live?
In Book Five, the Persona, when called by Guan-Yin (Kwan Yin) understands he has been called to 'harmonize the nine schools"—a seemingly impossible task. We poets feel called to do so much with so little, and this is the Persona's mission. As the Persona continues being taken from one continent, culture, and age to another, the sense of timelessness and the past always being present, continues to confound the Persona. When brought before China's leading poet, Du Fu, the Persona is humbled by the vastness and complexity of his journey and quest. The struggles taxing him, the Persona still seeks to understand to accept the journey. Led by the master poet, Du Fu, who tells the Persona,
"Every time has its duty.
One feels care and worry for it. I was
driven by the troublesome times.
How to advise and guide aright the emperor,
was all my thought, loyalty, and duty,
humane thought and action, through my poems
in the end. Retirement from the world,
I had to put it off….
Our office is like that of a monk,
but we poets cannot get free of the yoke,
and so I left this place, as you, too, must."
At the end of this encounter with Du Fu, the Persona laments,
"Despair pulls me down.
Duty pulls me back up, telling me to push on.
I know it's not about me, but their suffering,
terror, at how much worse it could, might, will be."
The existential angst and struggles that a poet experiences, are based on the deep, emotional connection and feeling that one has to those who capture the poet's compassion and empathy. To use one's words to capture some of what is needed to heal, repair, explain, or discover answers, solutions, or peaceful ways to mend what is broken, is the work of the poet. This epic poem, The Parliament of the Poets, explores the search we humans have for meaning in our lives, for connection and understanding of the mysterious, unknown, or different. We, the readers and listeners, accompany the hero, the Persona on his quest for meaning. For a poet the way is to discover how to express the meaning of the power of a mountain into a single sentence or word picture. For us, the quest may come in other modes, forms, or means.
In the fourth and final trip back to the Moon and the Parliament, the Poet of the Moon, the Persona, our hero, arrives with the desire to do his part to annihilate the dark forces with greater awareness of Unity, oneness as illuminated through the Moon by the Sun, and viewed and experienced by all on Earth. We all see the same Moon, the same Sun, and we are all united on so many levels. Science cannot function apart from thought, reason, and spirit. None stands alone. In the final analysis, the journey to find meaning is one. The Poet of the Moon is told by Mbeku, the Flying African tortoise,
"First you must
go on one last voyage, alone, by yourself.
No one can accompany you on this journey.
No guide can lead you. The test is yours alone,
to pass or fail, understand or despair.
Are you ready for it? Only you can choose,
and you may reject it. I will take you back
to Earth, if you prefer."
Again, and again, as we wind our way through the heroic journey, we have the choice—to go on, to despair, or to return to a place which we choose not to go back to. What choice do we have? Once we have the wisdom, we cannot unlearn it except through some tragedy or loss of consciousness.
In this epic poem, not meant to be devoured at one meal, we bite into a long, profound journey of conscious, intentional searching, and all the obstacles, struggles, conflicts, and dilemmas we face when seeking for the essence of meaning, purpose, and Truth. In the final book as the Persona stands in the presence of the Parliament, he talks of his motivation:
"I've done this…not for myself,
but for service to the great Traditions
you yourselves served, what is human,
what is worthy of the human being,
the glories of the soul."
In the end the hero is called to task, one most of us understand when we have completed some major life feat, task, or journey:
"You must earn [the laurel]
…there by returning, remembering,
writing it down there, for the people, reaching
and touching their hearts through words of poetry,
a vision that they know as, and call, their own."
We started this review of The Parliament of Poets by looking at the first line—the Persona's address to his muse. We end it with the last few lines of this heroic journey.
"We were not alone. We all felt it.
The Love of the Unseen Essence, encircling us.
We were wrapped in the arms of the universe.
We gazed above the foliage at our home,
the Earth, a round hoop of beauty, dancing
across an endless field of space and stars."
Frederick Glaysher's epic poem takes the reader on a narrative journey that has been called a "literary masterpiece" (New Consciousness Review), "a great epic poem of startling originality" (CKCU Literary News), and "Very readable, intriguingly enjoyable, and a masterpiece that will stand the test of time" (Poetry Cornwall). It is an epic poem in the tradition of great narrative poetry, told from the perspective of one man touched by a world that changed before his eyes, and who sought to explore both the world at large (ancient and modern) and the world evolving within him as a Poet of the Moon.

The present seen as a continuum of history and anthropology
The exhibitions and the programme of activities in the museum help visitors understand the present as being fully connected to history and tradition. With this in mind, the History and Anthropology Museum in Tenerife (MHA) combines both sciences in two buildings for the purpose of offering a wider and richer view of the history and culture of the island of Tenerife through its collections. One of the buildings is Casa Lercaro (C/ San Agustín 22, San Cristóbal de la Laguna), and provides an overview of institutional, social, economic and cultural development in Tenerife from the 15th to the 20th centuries. The other site is the Casa de Carta building, considered a fine example of the type of stately home built in the Canary Islands in the 18th century, where a tour of its rooms offers the chance to see a range of typical costumes, examples of popular furniture, traditional ceramics and basketwork, musical instruments played in the locals bands known as "parrandas", and a wide variety of mills for grinding "gofio" (a kind of toasted flour).

Born in Germany, 1961
Living in Melbourne's inner city for 25 years
Painting full time and exhibiting since 2001
Completed Diploma of visual arts at RMIT in 2005
Ralf Kempken has been cutting and spraying multi layered stencils for years. From portraiture, iconic Melbourne cafes and modernist architecture, the stencil is used to spray images in countless variations. The underlying concept has always been that we filter all we see through past experiences and memories. Thus followed the evolution of the stencil which, up until now has been used as the tool to produce the painting, into the artwork itself. We all screen and frame our personal view of the world and with this in mind the stencils have turned into screens. Artwork that can be seen through and create optical illusions. The screens are intended as daily reminders that we have a conscious choice in how to look at the world around us.
All work is hand cut into paper, acetate, canvas or timber. With some outside help they can also be cut into steel. Ralf has been exhibiting continuously since 2001.

This robotic spider dress made by Dutch designer Anouk Wipprecht and Austrian software developer Daniel Schatzmayr is creeping me out but also turning me on at the same exact time. I don't know what to think—if those crawling spindly robot legs are scary or if they're just sexy.
The mechanical legs start moving when it senses movement nearby. That's pretty creepy. But can't you imagine this dress being worn by some drop dead sexy comic book villain? Imagine Megan Fox as a new Spiderman villain/spicy love interest wearing the robotic spider dress. That's pretty sexy, right?
The prototype dress was made to "give more power and psychological thrills" to those who wore it. The dress was made with "sensoric, servo controlled, mechanic, microcontroller based and reacting//attacking upon approach, inspired by the game LIMBO." I kind of want those octopus arms to grab me. Am I just discovering that I have a robot fetish? [YouTube via LikeCool]

Jackie Evancho, pretty in pink and sounding sweet with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra
Sometimes I stare into my little beagle's eyes and wonder what she's thinking. She's a talented pup, and loyal, present at my feet from breakfast to bedtime.
But does she comprehend her life? Understand the depth of our relationship?
Then I realize it doesn't matter because – and if you have kids or dogs you'll get this – I just think she's adorable.
I'm full of the same wonder listening to 12-year-old Jackie Evancho sing and, to be clear, the world loves to hear her sing. She got five standing ovations during her Monday night performance of movie music with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Boettcher Concert Hall.
The great opera star Renée Fleming performed there in March and got the same number.

Night School, the racing industry's national online fan education program, continues its fresh, multimedia twists Tuesday when Week 3's lesson will be delivered in a full-length video titled "Horseplaying from A to Z." Fans of the online chat will be able to watch and comment on the 62-minute video through any of the more than 40 Night School partner sites. The 90-minute lessons begin at 8:30 p.m. ET each week, and this special full-length video follows a highly successful radio/live streaming debut last week with Sirius/XM satellite radio's "At the Races with Steve Byk."
"We promised that Season 3 of Night School would be a more advanced multimedia experience for students, and this video presentation delivers on that," said Night School co-founder Jeremy Plonk. "Last year's mini-documentary of Andrew Beyer was widely appreciated by racing fans and horseplayers, and we will build on that this year with at least one major video presentation each month."
"Horseplaying from A to Z" was shot on location at Gulfstream Park in Florida and features a total handicapping perspective from no fewer than six accomplished public racing analysts. Following the video, a follow-up Q&A session will be offered, and video analysts Tom Kelley, Joe Kristufek and Jeremy Plonk will take questions from the Night School students.
Simply enter the Night School console at 8:30 p.m. ET and join in. The full-length video also will be viewable in the Night School archives for those who cannot attend the live session.
The 90-minute classes are offered every Tuesday for 40 consecutive weeks through Dec. 3. Topics change weekly, and fans are eligible for prizes and rewards for registering. Registration is optional and free. There is never a charge for taking part in Night School. The weekly program is offered in three media: live chat via the Cover It Live live blogging/chat forum, audio/radio streaming and full video lesson plans. The media of delivery is based on the subject matter and alternates throughout the season.
Presenting title sponsors for Night School are the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, American Quarter Horse Association, Keeneland, Churchill Downs, Inc., and the United States Trotting Association.
This week's Night School will be followed at 10:00 p.m. ET by the "After Night School Special," featuring live racing from Mountaineer Park. The segment will cover the evening's final race in real time with free, live-streaming video. Fans wishing to take part in the Mountaineer action simply need to remain in the Night School chat after class.
The Night School lessons continue each week with the "Night School Friday Night Live" from Remington Park, featuring expert analysis and live chat for an entire card of action with complimentary live streaming video. The Friday live chats—co-hosted by track announcer Dale Day, morning line maker Jerry Shottenkirk and Horse Player NOW's Jeremy Plonk—begin at 6:30 p.m. ET and extend through the evening's final race.

In a few rare spots, geologists find fossils of strange eight-foot-tall "mushrooms." What do they tell us about the mysterious world they came from?

Despite multiple expeditions over many centuries, Noah's Ark still has not been found. A geologist proposes one reason why.
Let's take a closer look at the radioactive dating method and the radiometric dating methods and see how reliable they really are.
Although many people think radiocarbon is used to date rocks, it is limited to dating things that contain carbon and were once alive (fossils).
The idea that continents move sounds crazy . . . until you look at the facts.
NCSU's recent research revealed an "oversight in a radioisotope dating technique used to date everything from meteorites to geologic samples."
"Planet Earth makes its own water from scratch deep in the mantle" was the article headline in the January 27, 2017, New Scientist's Daily News.
Many scientists claim the fossil record shows many mass extinctions separated by millions of years. Does the Bible give a better explanation?

According to science textbooks, a series of rock layers covers the earth, representing many eras over "millions of years." Are these charts accurate?

Breakfast at Tiffany's Baby Shower
A Bold Baby Shower Inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's
A Bold Baby Shower Inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's
"When you have a gorgeous and glamorous friend named Tiffany who just so happens to be expecting a baby boy, hosting a 'Breakfast With Tiffany' baby shower is a no-brainer," says Jen Carver, the party guru behind Banner Events. "My friend Vivian and I wanted to create a pretty breakfast setting with pops of glitz and glamour."
To make her vision come to life, Jenn recruited some of the best party minds in the business, including one of our favorite printable designers, Anders Ruff, and 4 Kids Cakes, which provided a beautiful, totally impressive flower-box-esque creation. An incredible breakfast-food buffet (mini pancakes and parfaits and a powdered-doughnut tower were just some of the highlights), a cute diaper cake, and so much more made this one of the most detail-filled showers we've ever seen (and we think Audrey would approve!).

'Simple Servings' caters to students with allergies and other dietary needs
With approximately 4 percent of the U.S. population having some sort of food allergy, Liberty University, in collaboration with Sodexo, its dining services provider, works hard to ensure the dietary needs of students, faculty, and staff are being met.
Simple Servings, a new station at Reber-Thomas Dining Hall, offers minimally processed, tasty food options prepared without gluten or seven of the eight most common food allergens: milk, eggs, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, and wheat.
"The response has been very positive," said Robin Quay, Sodexo's registered dietitian for Liberty. "Simple Servings is one of the most popular areas at the dining hall, for students with and without allergies. The food offered there is simple, minimally processed, and delicious. Parents of students with allergies are especially appreciative of the offerings we have for their students … they can send their students to Liberty with the confidence that any dietary requirements will be properly handled."
Senior John Upton has a severe allergy to gluten and dairy and appreciates the diversity of the food served at Simple Servings.
"The dishes they serve there are great, really tasty, and delicious," he said.
Liberty has offered gluten and dairy-free options for several years, but now they are being offered on a larger scale.
Implemented in Fall 2012 as a pilot program for Sodexo, Simple Servings has made it significantly easier for students like Upton to enjoy the dining hall experience with friends. In the past, Upton would have to ask the chef to cook something special for him, which could take time. Now he can quickly and with confidence find products that are safe to eat.
Quay and Peter Jerominek, executive chef, work together to regularly update the menu to align with what's trending for students and ensure plenty of good nutritional options are available. They meet with every student who has dietary restrictions to make sure their needs and likes are met.
"Knowing about customer preferences and limitations allows us to plan our menu to best meet everyone's needs," Quay said. "We are happy to explore the dining hall with students and point out options they have both at Simple Servings and throughout the dining hall."
All staff members are trained about the risks of food allergies and to properly handle foods to avoid cross-contamination. A fresh plate must be used each time at the platform.
"Everything (at Simple Servings) is cooked separately using different pans and utensils to help prevent cross-contamination," Jerominek said. "Our platform cooks are trained in food allergies before starting at that platform. We go as far as having one of the platform cooks out at the platform to make sure students aren't cross-contaminating."
If a student cannot find something they can eat or do not like the selections, they can place a special order.
"The chefs at Liberty dining have been more than accommodating," Upton said.
Sophomore Cherone Odellas has several food allergies and appreciates the personal touch. Before she learned of her food allergies, Odellas became very ill when she would eat, and after discovering the allergy, she struggled to get the nutrition her body needed. Jerominek and the team at Liberty dining "saved" her, she said. Not only does Jerominek make her meals, he consults her to make sure her choices are balanced nutritionally and in line with what she enjoys eating.
Quay is available to discuss dietary concerns or nutritional needs with students. She also provides many quality resources online, including a blog and Dietitian Picks, which highlights the most nutrient-dense offerings at each of Liberty's dining locations, and a cookbook of healthy recipes that can be made utilizing only standard residence hall appliances — a microwave and refrigerator.
At the dining hall and Tilley Fresh Market Buffet in Green Hall, signs provide important nutrition information as well as any common allergens that may have been used in preparation.
Quay and Jerominek teach several free cooking workshops each semester (read more).
Liberty strives to meet the needs of its increasingly growing student population, and their health is no exception. This includes ensuring students are provided with resources to promote well-rounded health — in body, mind, and spirit. The university provides programs, activities, recreational facilities, and dining options as diverse as its student population. For more information on Student Activities, programs, and facilities, visit the Campus Recreation website. For dining, visit www.LibertyDining.com.

The Penguins and Islanders don't agree on much.
They did both believe that major penalty assessed to New York defenseman Travis Hamonic for a hit on Brooks Orpik wasn't a penalty.
"I've watched it numerous times, and that's a play where I probably wouldn't even get credit for a hit," Hamonic said after the Islanders' 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
"You watch the play and I skate by and (it's) minimal contact with the opposing player. He hits himself in the forehead with his own stick. He goes down and he's bleeding … Next thing you know, 5-minute major and you're kicked out of the game. Tough call to make in those circumstances, I guess."
James Neal scored twice, and Pascal Dupuis, Steve Sullivan, Matt Cooke and Paul Martin added goals for the Penguins, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Dupuis' goal was the winner.
David Ullstrom, Milan Jurcina and Kyle Okposo scored for New York.
"You watch that replay, and in my opinion that's a terrible call because I didn't hit him. That wasn't a head-check," Hamonic said. "That's not my style of play. My style of play is not to hit anyone's head, and I didn't in any sort of way. I kept my elbows down, hit him right in the stomach and he follows through and hits himself in the forehead. It's very frustrating. That's a critical part in the game and then all of a sudden, we're short guys. All that for a hit that you can watch over and over again … it's pretty self-explanatory.
It's very frustrating."
Orpik, who had stitches and dried blood where his forehead and the bridge of his nose meet, absolved Hamonic while criticizing referees Dan O'Halloran and Frederick L'Ecuyer.
"(I) was surprised it was a 5-minute major," Orpik said. "(I) didn't think it was a 5-minute major."
Pittsburgh, playing without Sidney Crosby, has beaten the Islanders all four times the teams have played this season. There are two games remaining between the Atlantic Division rivals, March 27 at the Consol Energy Center and at Nassau Coliseum two nights later.
Pittsburgh began to take control in the second period after Hamonic was penalized.
Neal scored the Penguins' lone goal on the 5-minute man advantage by popping a rebound of Chris Kuntiz's shot past Al Montoya at 8:44 to tie it at 3. And when Dupuis's blast from the high slot beat Montoya, Pittsburgh had its first lead of the game.
The teams were tied 2-2 after the first period.
Ullstrom's second career goal opened the scoring 4:22 into the match. The left winger sped past Alexandre Picard along the right wing boards and whipped a shot over Marc-Andre Fleury's glove.
Jurcina made it 2-0 with a power-play goal at 12:16. Jurcina hammered a slap shot past Fleury to conclude a play that began when Okposo was able to control a loose puck behind the Penguins' net. Okposo found Mark Streit at the left point, who then shoveled a pass to Jurcina.
Up to that point, the Islanders had the edge in play. But when Sullivan halved the lead to 2-1 2:12 after Jurcina's goal with his fifth of the season, the momentum slowly shift. Joe Vitale outraced Streit to a puck that had bounced over his stick, and then fed Sullivan, who came down the slot, for the one-timer.
Neal tied it with 28.2 seconds remaining. Kunitz forced a turnover behind the Islanders' net. Malkin grabbed the loose puck and found Neal cutting across the slot.
"I was looking for a response from our team. We were in a hole," said Dan Bylsma, who improved to 15-2-4 against the Islanders as coach of the Penguins.
"I thought our team responded real well. Our biggest challenge was rebounding from where we were in the last couple games."
Okposo put the Islanders back on top 3-2 2:54 into the second. He sped up the right boards and ripped a shot from the faceoff circle over Fleury's glove.
Cooke and Martin scored goals in the third.
Fleury made 24 saves, while Montoya stopped 25 shots.
Pittsburgh was 1 for 3 on the power play. New York connected once on seven opportunities.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
The C++ implementation of the Ethereum client (cpp-ethereum) is getting more user friendly with the new AlethOne GUI intended to simplify the mining process for users that are not into programming and hate to use console-based software. The AlethOne GUI is going to be a part of the eth client, though currently it is only available in a release candidate form and it will be interfacing with the eth client. The first time you run the GUI it will ask you for a password and will generate an Ethereum wallet address, then start synchronizing the blockchain. The good thing is that AlethOne presents the user with a simple interface and reports in an easy to read details about the functionality of the eth client in the backend such as the Ether balance you have or the blockchain synchronization status or even the hashrate when mining. As for the mining you get an easy option for solo mining or pool mining with a field to enter the pool URL to mine at and after you have mined some coins you have the option to easily initiate a transfer to another account.
So far the latest release candidate of AlethOne looks quite nice and works decently, though there are apparently some more things that need work before the final release is available. For example it seems that the mining is only working on the first GPU and if you have multiple video cards that you want to mine with there is no way to tell the miner to use them all form the GUI apparently. The Withdraw functionality also needs some more work in te form of any feedback returned in the AlethOne GUI regarding the execution of the transaction such as if it was successful or not etc. Regardless things are already looking good and the AlethOne GUI with some more improvement and fixes is definitely something that Ethereum needs in order to become easier to be used by not so advanced users – basic wallet and mining functionality in a streamlined desktop client.
– You can download and try the latest cpp-ethereum with AlethOne release candidate 2…

Austin_Real_list necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 17 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
Austin Real List
Just started my first Real Estate Brokerage in Austin, TX, Been in the business a few years. I have an advertising degree from UT, in my late 20's. Most my agents so far are in their 20's as well. My informal slogan is "Mike MacLaggan, not a douche bag." What I mean by this is I'm not your typical Realtor. I'm not a hard seller, I don't wear too much make-up, dress in a monkey suit, or have a bee hive hair-do. I don't twist your arm or drive you to areas that you don't want to live in or cant afford. I'm hip to the pulse of the young Austin culture - I have a lot of college age and youngish couples as clients, but I don't want a logo that lacks maturity. Looking for a design solution that somehow makes our (somewhat) cumbersome name (Austin Real List) quickly readable, concise and 'pop'....or, if that's too much trouble a fun little "bug" that I can use next to the words "Austin Real List"
Target Audience: 18-35 primarily English speakers - I advertise lifestyles mostly (walk to this restaurant, bike to this bar..etc...) and end up finding mostly college age folks and young couples. I would like to appeal across the board to the extent it need not be too childish/abstract, punk/graffiti/cartooney etc...needs to be traditional design to an extent, but obviously nothing as serious as a bank or insurance logo (and need not feel like a large corporate real estate company logo)
ps attached logo is just what i've been working with - please, you don't even need to use it as a starting point, really...thx - also a tiny bit more about design - I would like the final product to be a "badge or button" or some definitely center-weighted shape / as opposed to something very wide. I would like a square (or circle) instead of a rectangle, does that make sense? The winning design probably will not have "Austin Real List" all written out horizontally. Although if lightning strikes you and a killer idea for horizontal lettering comes to pass, please, let her rip! Can't wait to see y'alls ideas.
It needs to be Clean. Sharp. Simple.
Already went into this a little above, but I need a logo for a young, smaller real estate company in Austin Texas.
A u s ti n
Real List
Was thinking a solution for the text may be to have Austin on top in a thin/wide typeface - and "Real List" fatter/bolder below that so they are the same length. But please, you guys are the pros - do what you think is best. I would like it to be readable from a distance (like say the street 15 feet away if it was the size of a basketball on a door).
I like the design of this logo here:
If I could get a nice ,crisp little button with a typeface that makes my name "Austin Real List" 'pop' off the page, I would be very pleased indeed.
Or, I would be open to a nice, crisp, concise yet bold typeface design, with a "bug" to augment - something simple and iconic (having to do with Austin?/real estate/or just an attractive shape? I think I could get behind that as well.
As far as colors, I'm not married to anything. If you want to take a look at my extremely simple site I've been using for the past few years, here it is:
But again, these colors are by no means what we have to stick with.
Will need the file in formats so I can print at high resolutions, and also put on the web. And I need the original PSD files as well.

Chicago Weekend
Best way to forget a whipping on the field is to get back out there soon. That'll happen this afternoon in Wrigley.
Four batters into the game, Ryan gave us a 2-0 lead. Then, the offense went passive again until it was too late in the ninth. Meanwhile, Jamie struggled early and the rest is history.
National TV
Final game of this four-game set in Chicago on Sunday is an 8:05 ESPN Sunday night telecast. On most Phillies schedules, it is listed as 6:05 p.m. but was moved back sometime ago.
Minor League Notes
CF Jiwan James singled in his first at-bat last night to stretch his hitting streak to 22 straight games, a new Lakewood BlueClaws record. The South Atlantic League record is 37, so he has a way to go.
LHP Matt Way of the Clearwater Threshers was placed on the DL with a left hip strain. He was the Phillies minor league pitcher of the month for July when he was with Lakewood.
Two Williamsport players are the players of the week for last week.
Whiz Kids Special Show
Skip "Memory Lane" Clayton will air a 3-hour special on the 1950 Phillies on one of the Phillies network stations, WBCB, tomorrow starting at 5:00 p.m. If you don't live in the area, you can hear the show on wee.wbcb1490.com.
Skip originally aired the show 35 years ago on another station. Now he'll replace some of the key moments from that pennant-winning season.
Plus a ton of interviews: Eddie Sawyer, Richie Ashburn, Del Ennis, Mike Goliat, Granny Hamner, Willie Jones, Andy Seminick, Dick Sisler, Eddie Waitkus, Bubba Church, Jim Konstanty, Bob Miller, Robin Roberts and Curt Simmons.
Plus Joe DiMaggio, Joe Garagiola, Pee Wee Reese, Phil Rizzuto and Duke Snider.
Enjoy the weekend!

Philip Rivers will have the familiarity of his longtime starting center for another year.
Nick Hardwick has told the San Diego Chargers he will return for an 11th season. Hardwick had been weighing retirement, but he has opted to finish his three-year contract.
"I told them I expect to play next season," Hardwick told U-T San Diego. "I'm excited about it."
Hardwick suffered a concussion during San Diego's playoff win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also has a history of neck stingers to go along with all the bumps and bruises that come with a decade of life in the NFL trenches.
"I wanted to take a month off where I didn't have to think about football," he said. "I just wanted to be honest with where my body is, where my brain is, where we're at and where we want to go. Just give an honest assessment. My body feels great. My brain feels great. I do think there's better football ahead of me."
That's one less concern for general manager Tom Telesco this offseason.
On the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys speculate on big names who could be cut, then talk offseason forecasts for the Packers and Raiders.

Dina sent me this article by Christina Odone from the UK Telegraph.
I'm scared that was the last Christmas we celebrated with a church service. The High Court ruled last week that Sunday is not a core part of a Christian's belief; next, they'll decide that Christmas is not, either. Mr Justice Langstaff has decided that a Baptist who works in a care home can be forced by her employers to work through Sunday too. This, even though her colleagues were happy to take Celestina Mba's Sunday shift so she could do what all devout Christians do on a Sunday – go to church.
It didn't matter that no one was complaining about Celestina Mba's Sunday observance; her employers, Labour-led Merton Council, wanted her to drop her religious obligations. They'd decide what she was to do on the Sabbath day – not some dusty Bible. God? Who's He? The Fourth Commandment? What's that?
Christians like Celestina Mba had better take note: they live in an environment so hostile to Christians that any show of allegiance to this religion will get them into trouble. Don't wear crucifixes, don't pray for a patient, don't try to foster a child: practising Christians are now barred from any of these activities. This, even though the majority of Britons still count themselves as Christians.
The clash of Christians and a newly strident secular establishment has become an everyday story: a cultural civil war that constantly claims Christian victims. Lawyers, and judges like Mr Justice Langstaff, have shown themselves, again and again, to stand on the side of the secularists. I still smart at the memory of the Law Society refusing to host a conference on the virtues of heterosexual marriage. Incredibly, this kind of censorship is allowed to go on under a Tory PM who himself claims allegiance to the majority Church.
In the UK, it seems like a common practice to use "lawfare" in order to coerce behavior. They use the nuclear option against individual Christians and conservatives in order to send a message to all. The message is that the government has a right to silence anyone who makes the secular left feel "offended". The state is telling Christians and conservatives that it's easier to go along with secularism and socialism just to get by. Even if you win your case, you will have to pay and pay legal costs to win it. Don't try to be a hero, because if you do, we will get you.
You can even see this being done when law-abiding citizens defend themselves and get prosecuted for it. The message then is similar – don't scare or offend criminals by deterring them with weapons.
Who would live in such a society?

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Mjollnircoin (MNR) is a HEFTY1-based crypto coin that is using the same algorithm like Heavycoin, though there is no reward voting support with MNR, so you will need a slightly modified miner in order to mine it even though the algorithm is the same as for HVC. We already have a ccminer update to support MNR for Nvidia GPUs and there is also a cgminer 3.7.3 with Mjollnircoin support available for AMD OpenCL mining (source). Do note that Nvidia is still faster in mining HEFTY1-based crypto coins such as Mjollnircoin (MNR). With the cgminer for MNR mining we are getting a bit over 16 MHS mining on a single Radeon R9 280X video card.

The Coast Guard has suspended the search for a missing spear fisherman off the coast of Honaunau Beach Park, on the Big Island, pending any new developments, at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
The Coast Guard assisted the Hawaii County Fire Department in the search for 41 year-old Jeremiah Nathan. Crews covered an area approximately 900 square miles off the west coast of the Big Island during the search.
Nathan was reportedly last seen walking on Honaunau Beach with diving gear, wearing a blue-green camouflage full body wet suit at approximately 4 p.m. Wednesday.
The crew aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Kiska and an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew conducted searches Friday. A Coast Guard Auxiliary airplane crew conducted a first light search, Saturday morning.
"The decision to suspend a search is one of the hardest we have to make," said Cmdr. Shannon Gilreath, Sector Honolulu's acting commander. "Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Mr. Nathan during this difficult time".
Hawaii County Fire Department crews are scheduled to continue the search.
Coast Guard officials were notified of the potential distress by a friend of Nathan's at approximately 9 p.m. Thursday. After receiving a call indicating that Nathan had not arrived in California as expected, the friend traveled to Honaunau Bay where he found Nathan's truck parked and unlocked with personal items still inside.
Anyone with information on Nathan's whereabouts is urged to contact the Sector Honolulu Command Center at 808-842-2600 or the Hawaii County Fire Department dispatch at 808-961-8336.
For more information contact the Sector Honolulu public affairs officer, Lt. Kevin Cooper, at 808-286-4675.

Step aside, American property owners, and make way for Chinese and Brazilian real estate.
Even though the latest data on U.S. housing now reflects an improved real estate market here in the States, countries such as Brazil and China are easily dwarfing that fledgling growth due to the economic and demographic realities of the emerging markets, analysts with real estate fund management firm Cohen & Steers reported Tuesday at a press briefing in New York.
For example, said Jason Yablon, a portfolio manager for the Cohen & Steers Emerging Markets Real Estate Fund (A Shares: APFAX), growth in China is being driven by rapid urbanization as rural populations migrate to cities in search of work and pressure the government to invest in infrastructure-related sectors such as housing.
Total returns for emerging markets real estate were 42.1% in 2012, according to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Emerging Real Estate Index, versus 18.1% in the United States, according to the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index.
"The consumer element is driving the emerging markets story," Yablon said. "As China rebounds, large parts of Asia will benefit, and it's helping the entire region."
Further, Yablon pointed to an emerging-market trend toward securitization of real estate, which helped produce strong returns in 2012.
"Emerging markets not only make up a larger percentage of global GDP than just a few years ago, but they have grown faster than developed markets," Yablon wrote in a real estate securities note. "This is a trend that we expect to continue into the future, partially because they are less leveraged than developed markets. They also tend to have stronger balance sheets marked by lower debt/GDP ratios."
Meanwhile, housing data so far in 2013 signals that the U.S. real estate market also is looking up. On Tuesday, an S&P/Case-Shiller home price index release showed that U.S. home prices rose in December, up 0.2% in 20 cities, while the Commerce Department reported that U.S. new home sales jumped nearly 16% in January, to their highest level since July 2008, "a sign that the housing recovery is accelerating," The Associated Press reported. On Wednesday, the National Association of Realtors said that its pending home sales index rose 4.5% to 195.9, its highest level since April 2010.
"The single-family market is beginning to have an impact on the U.S. real estate market," Yablon said Tuesday.
He pointed to both positives and negatives, but overall, he said Cohen & Steers believed in the U.S. real estate market's fundamental recovery. The big winners are the industrial and self-storage subsectors, which are benefiting from economic and jobs growth, while the losers are health care, defense and generic office in Washington, D.C., as the federal government struggles with budget woes.
Three-year total returns are 12.11% as of Tuesday for APFAX, which is one of the only emerging markets real estate funds in the United States. Total assets for the six-year-old fund are $44.8 million, expense ratio is 1.80% and load is 4.50. That compares with three-year total returns of 17.56% for Cohen & Steers Realty Shares (CSRSX), the firm's 21-year-old flagship fund that focuses solely on U.S. real estate. Total assets are $4.9 billion, expense ratio is 0.96% and there is no load.

Solid Radiant Barrier - 5,500 sq ft Package
EcoFoil Solid Radiant Barrier uses reflective technology to increase the energy efficiency and comfort level of your home. A radiant barrier is made of a thin layer of woven polyethylene which is sandwiched between two layers of a highly reflective metalized coating. With the polyethylene core the product cannot be ripped or torn. It blocks 96% of radiant heat transfer, helping keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
The radiant barrier also acts as a vapor barrier when the seams are taped, keeping moisture from passing through it. EcoFoil Solid Radiant Barrier can be used in walls, roofs, floors and crawl spaces that require a vapor barrier. An easy way to install would be to run the product perpendicular to your framing and staple into place. For new construction this product would be installed under your sheathing to keep radiant heat out during the summer months and radiant heat in during the winter months. For existing homes this product works great in crawl spaces; simply staple radiant barrier to the bottom of your joists, keeping the heat inside your living space which will prevent condensation and the possibility of mold from forming on the joists or subfloor.
EcoFoil Solid Radiant Barrier can also be used inside the home on the bottom of the subfloor or joists to keep heat contained either up or down, much like zone heating with an HVAC system. If you have a special application that you have questions on please call our product specialists at (888) 349-3645.
Important - You must use 3" Foil Tapeon the seams of the material to ensure the product acts as one sheet and maintains the moisture barrier.

I'm really stumped with the problem. I have a polygon layer with no intersects or holes and I need to remove some 'islands', as defined by attributes of a certain size within the layer.
It's a hard thing to explain, so refer to the picture below. The different colors represent different attributes within my layer. What I need to do is remove the orange islands of certain size (less than 5000m²) that do not share border with an Orange, Green or Neon polygon.
I cannot simply select all of the orange polygons under a certain size because that would remove some polygons that make up large areas of polygons.
I can't dissolve the orange than remove polygons under a certain size because I will lose the individual polygon shapes which are extremely important.
I am really stumped here guys, I'll take a simple solution or any advice. I am pretty handy with python so if you think a programming solution is best let me know.

On the heels of several global initiatives, Merck for Mothers has announced that the US is one of five target countries where it is focusing its maternal health resources – both human and financial. Here, as in the other four countries – Brazil, India, Uganda and Zambia – their focus is on the two leading causes of death – preeclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage (uncontrolled bleeding). In the US, the other leading cause of maternal death is embolism (the sudden obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot or air bubble).
Dr. Mary D'Alton, chair of obstetrics at Columbia University (and also a recipient of the Preeclampsia Foundation's Outstanding Physician Award in 2011), has been a leading voice for putting the "M" back in maternal-fetal medicine. Her assessment of the situation in the US: "We are lacking an organized national response. There's a chasm between knowing and doing."
Merck for Mothers' funding will focus on state-level, facility-level and community-level programs, as well as supporting advocacy and awareness across all systems.
Twelve states will receive support via the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs to build out their maternal mortality review boards – some of which don't even have such initiatives in place to routinely and consistently review maternal deaths, identify what went wrong, and use those findings to take action. The first six states to be supported are Ohio, Delaware, Colorado, New York, North Carolina and Georgia.
Recognizing the role that specific facility practices have on quality improvements, M4M will work with three professional organizations to implement pilot programs in five states to improve providers' ability to react to obstetric emergencies, setting the stage for national adoption. The recent practice guidelines that the Preeclampsia Foundation helped the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists develop will prove very helpful to ensure that a basic level of quality care is provided to every woman, everywhere.
Finally, at a community level, four programs in New Jersey, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Manhattan will be supported to link women with chronic conditions to prenatal and primary health care, including capitalizing on provisions build into the Affordable Care Act (ACA), so that women move into their pregnancies healthier, decreasing the likelihood of childbirth complications.
Why the focus on US maternal mortality and morbidity?
Approximately 880 women die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth each year in the US. And this is just the tip of the iceberg – approximately 52,000 women per year suffer severe complications that may have lasting effects on their health ("severe maternal morbidity").
Lauren Ward Larsen of Boulder, CO, is one such woman. Suffering a near-fatal case of preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome during her first – and last – pregnancy in 2000, Lauren's health never returned to its previous level despite years of physical therapy. Today, her doctors attribute the severe osteo-arthritis in her shoulders, hips, knees and ankles to the massive internal hemorrhaging (DIC) that accompanied her preeclampsia experience.
"At times, the long-term effects of preeclampsia are frustrating – not being able to engage in many physical activities with my husband and daughter," said Larsen. "But 13 years later, I continue to seek out different therapies and surgical procedures in hopes of regaining the full use of my body and living pain-free. What can I say: I'm an optimist."
Despite the $111 billion spent annually in the US on hospital care related to childbirth, our country still ranks 47th globally in maternal mortality – behind countries including Bosnia and Turkey. This death rate has nearly doubled since 1990, due in part to the rising epidemic of obesity, diabetes and chronic hypertension amongst women of childbearing age, but even without those influencing factors, experts have estimated that 40-50% of maternal deaths are preventable.
"We applaud this investment by Merck for Mothers," said Preeclampsia Foundation executive director Eleni Tsigas. "As a member of the initial expert task force that advocated for Merck to invest in preeclampsia as an important maternal issue, often overlooked, but needing significant attention, we're thrilled to see their commitment take shape."
