Dear Sharona,
I am in my late 20′s and have heavy lids and small bags under my eyes. As I am still young and get plenty of rest, doctors have told me that it is genetic. My trouble with concealing the bags is not with the coloring (like people with dark circles) as much as it is with how to make the bags look smaller or less puffy and my eyes bigger. What are your suggestions?
Adina, New York
Dear Adina,
Having bags underneath your eyes can be frustrating, and can make you appear tired or even older. Unfortunately, as you said, it is most likely due to genetics. Often, this can be corrected with surgery, but who wants to go the dangerous (and expensive) route? Thank goodness for makeup; it can enhance what we have, "make up" for what we don't have, and best of all, give off the illusion that we are flawless.
Even the slightest amount of under eye puffiness may seem exaggerated, due to a shadow being created under the eye. (Remember: if you take pictures, be sure that the lighting is not directly overhead, as it may enhance the puffiness). Here is what you need to create "bag-less" eyes: concealer (if you have dark circles as well as puffiness), foundation, a highlighting pen, and translucent face powder.
Step 1: If there are any discolorations (dark circles) just below the lower eye lid, i.e. brown, blue, red, etc., now would be the time to conceal them; otherwise move on to the next step. Please remember to apply concealer only to the areas where there is discoloration.
Step 2: Apply foundation on to the face.
Step 3: Take the highlighting pen (note: this is not concealer – a highlighting pen has light-reflecting particles and brings out the recessed areas, such as the dark shadows created by the under eye bags) and apply it just underneath the puffiness, where the shadow is being created. Make sure you apply the product under the bag, and not on to the bag (that would cause the puffiness to be highlighted and would make the area appear even puffier).
Step 4: Pat your finger on the product to blend the product in.
Step 5: Lightly powder the eye to set the make-up in place.
Sephora makes a highlighting pen in a cream format and it costs about $12. If you want to go the cheaper route, E.L.F (Eye Lips Face) makes a concealer with a highlighter as a second step for only $3. E.L.F.'s highlighter is translucent, whereas Sephora's brand actually comes in a variety of colors to match your skin tone.

Many of my clients have small eyes. Often, they ask for certain color eye shadow or even a style that would not make the eye appear larger, but would actually make it appear smaller. In this week's column I'd like to give tips on how to make small eyes appear "larger."
The most important element of your eye makeup is mascara. I've mentioned in a previous column that mascara is one of the most crucial steps in your basic daily makeup wear. Mascara, even without any eye shadow, creates definition.
Dear Sharona,

Which lipsticks will last throughout Shabbos is a common question I am asked. In fact, many women share this common problem where the lip color just "slides" right off within a few hours. There are a few products on the market that are formulated to last from 8-18 hours, and many of them can be purchased at your local drug store. Covergirl, Maybelline and L'Oreal all make long lasting lip color that can be found at drug stores.
What's so special about airbrush makeup? Is this a new technique in makeup application? These are a couple of questions I commonly get from my readers and clients. Airbrush makeup application has been used in Hollywood on models and actors for over 30 years. For approximately ten years, makeup artists have been using this on brides, businesswomen, or anyone that wants to look great for an event.
Blush is an important final step in your makeup application. Blush brings a glow to the face, as if a candle was lit from within. Many blushes come in powder form, but they also come in cream form, which is the form I'll discuss today. One of my favorite blushes is the MAC cream blush. The blush is very lightweight and gives off a nice dewy look – a look that is especially suitable to those with dry skin, since dry skin gives off a very dull, matte look.
When applying make-up most people focus on the eyes or lips, and sometimes forget to give attention to the eyebrows. Your brows can open up your eyes and face, and can also make you appear younger, so be sure to give them as much attention as you would your eyes and lips.
Dear Sharona,
I have very prominent eyes; I was wondering what color and or style of makeup would suit me? I have dark brown hair and brown eyes, and medium-deep skin tone. I rarely put on makeup and if I do, it's only on my eyes. I am looking forward to reading your suggestions.

Abstract: Self-tuning has been an elusive goal for operating systems and is becoming a pressing issue for modern operating systems. Well-trained system administrators are able to tune an operating system to achieve better system performance for a specific system class. Unfortunately, the system class can change when the running applications change. Our model for self-tuning operating system is based on a monitor-classify-adjust loop. The idea of this loop is to continuously monitor certain performance metrics, and whenever these change, the system determines the new system class and dynamically adjusts tuning parameters for this new class. This paper describes KernTune, a prototype tool that identifies the system class and improves system performance automatically. A key aspect of KernTune is the notion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) oriented performance tuning. It uses a support vector machine (SVM) to identify the system class, and tunes the operating system for that specific system class. This paper presents design and implementation details for KernTune. It shows how KernTune identifies a system class and tunes the operating system for improved performance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/53 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Institutions of higher learning are under pressure to respond to the changing needs of today's learners and the use of information and communication technology has been at the forefront of that change. Furthermore, the use of social software to enable people to interact with each other in a dynamic way has been identified as one possible solution. This survey sought to identify the knowledge and attitudes of South African physiotherapy students towards the use of social software in a physiotherapy department. The design was a cross-sectional, descriptive survey that took place in a university physiotherapy department in the Western Cape, South Africa. It included 135 students and used a self-developed questionnaire. Results showed that these students had only a superficial understanding of social software and that they did not make use of common services. They did however, show an openness to new approaches and a willingness to interact with lecturers outside the traditional classroom setting. A lack of access to appropriate technology was identified as one possible factor for their lack of understanding. Conclusion Any attempt to incorporate social software to improve teaching and learning practice into this department would have to be accompanied by significant training and support.

Abstract: Objective: The author aimed to develop a valid and reliable questionnaire that would measure the knowledge of learners relating to risk factors for chronic disease of lifestyle such as stroke, diabetes and hypertension. The questionnaire was intended to be used as part of a health education programme aimed at improving the knowledge of learners as it relates to risk factors for chronic diseases of lifestyle. Method: The development of the questionnaire was guided by Williams 9 steps of questionnaire design and was influenced by the national curriculum of education's life orientation programme and literature. A 31 item questionnaire was designed and presented to an expert panel. Content validity was done by the expert panel and face validity was tested through informal discussions with high school learners. Reliability testing was done using the test-retest method and Kappa co-efficient was used to test stability of the items. The questionnaire was administered to 40 high school learners but only 30 did the test the second time. Results: The questionnaire yielded a reliability analysis that revealed internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.897. The average score obtained by learners using this questionnaire was 14. The questionnaire can be used for learners with a grade 10 education. The questionnaire also highlighted that learners had a moderate knowledge relating to risk factors for chronic diseases of lifestyle and the need for appropriate information interventions was emphasized URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/115 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Background: Namibia bears a large burden of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and the youth are disproportionately affected. Objectives: To explore the current knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of female adolescents attending family planning to HIV prevention. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used on a sample 251 unmarried female adolescents aged from 13 years to 19 years accessing primary care services for contraception using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were analysed using Epi Info 2002. Crude associations were assessed using cross-tabulations of knowledge, attitude and behaviour scores against demographic variables. Chi-square tests and odds ratios were used to assess associations from the cross-tabulations. All p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: A quarter of sexually active teenagers attending the family-planning services did not have adequate knowledge of HIV prevention strategies. Less than a quarter (23.9%) always used a condom. Most respondents (83.3%) started sexual intercourse when older than 16 years, but only 38.6% used a condom at their sexual debut. The older the girls were at sexual debut, the more likely they were to use a condom for the event (8% did so at age 13 years and 100% at age 19 years). Conclusions: Knowledge of condom use as an HIV prevention strategy did not translate into consistent condom use. One alternate approach in family-planning facilities may be to encourage condom use as a dual protection method. Delayed onset of sexual activity and consistent use of condoms should be encouraged amongst schoolchildren, in the school setting. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/515 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The results of nine CCD photometric observing runs on KPD 0629–0016 are presented. During six of the runs measurements were obtained alternately through B and V filters. Four periodicities, for which there is good agreement between the frequencies identified in the B and V data, were extracted: these lie in the range 46–81 min. A fifth lower frequency appears to be definitely present, but is very uncertain due to aliasing. The ratios of the mode amplitudes measured in B and V, and the phase differences between variations in the two colours, are compatible with pulsation theory.

Abstract: Since its initiation, South Africa's post-apartheid land reform programme has generated extensive analysis and critique that in turn has yielded a body of scholarship. Discussion revolves around the official policy of the programme, the challenges associated with its implementation and its reception at local levels. It cannot be overstated that much of the discourse on the formulation of the programme itself commenced in the dying years of apartheid, through a series of workshops, policy conferences, research projects and publications. Prompted by glaring disparities in the country's social and living conditions and primarily by entrenched imbalanced landownership, contemporary land reform dialogue has a well-built backdrop. What, however, is our understanding of local community politics that played perceptible roles in triggering land redistribution and facilitating patterns of settlement? This article gives some insight into a veiled history of interplay between community mobilisation politics, governance and official land reform policy in the Lukhanji municipality of the Eastern Cape during South Africa's transitional years of 1995 to 2006. After outlining how land redistribution was initially driven by forces operating outside government action, the article proceeds to illustrate the frailty of the government land redistribution accomplishment. Moreover, it demonstrates the complex nature of a rural setting that has arisen from community-facilitated and incipient government land redistribution achievements in the area.

Abstract: This paper explores how two testifiers at the Human Rights Violation hearings of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1996 used selected markers of evaluation (shifts in tense, the inclusion of direct speech and code-switching) to express evaluative meanings and position themselves, the police and their audiences in relation to their narratives. Both testifiers are mothers of young activists who were pursued, detained and tortured by police in the 1980s. The paper argues that it is through the subtle though significant linguistic choices the women make that their perspective is construed and their 'narrative truth' realized.

Abstract: J.M. Coetzee's post-millennial writing has been marked by new forms of inventiveness, formal risk-taking and narrative experimentation that have blurred the boundaries between fiction, autobiography and social commentary. Using the example of the novel Diary of a Bad Year (2007), it is argued that this latter fiction is exemplary of Edward Said's idea of "late style", accounting not only for Coetzee's surprising venture into explicit political commentary, but also his narrative minimalism. The paper looks carefully at the content and style of Coetzee's novel, contrasting its descriptive technique with earlier fictions. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/863 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article examines Sam Sly's African Journal (1843–51), a literary and satirical newspaper published by William Layton Sammons in Cape Town. It contends that the newspaper utilised satire to forge British cultural affinity in the colony, as well as to encourage and preserve the conservative social boundaries of propriety and family values espoused by white middle-class colonists. This differed from the more widely studied position of satire as a subversive challenge to the established order, with Sammons avoiding sexually explicit, scandalous humour or overt attacks on personal character. In a period of growing white consensus, the African Journal's use of satire in the 1840s formed part of the cultural politics of establishing bourgeois values through the medium of appreciation of British literature and popular culture. Satire in Sam Sly's African Journal thus functioned ideologically to extend British cultural dominance and affinities, and to preserve and instil white bourgeois moral codes. Although much satire was shorn of the racial reality of the Cape Colony, seeking to replicate an impression of metropolitan whiteness, those satires that focused on race derided the Khoikhoi and Xhosa as incapable of achieving equality with whites, drawing on growing anti-humanitarian sentiment in the Cape. The African Journal's popularity, however, diminished in the face of the anti-convict agitation of 1848–50, when colonists opposed the landing of ticket-of-leave convicts from Ireland as an impediment to the goal of representative government, through petitions and boycotting supplying to the government. Satirising these measures as a radical betrayal of British loyalty, Sammons's support dwindled owing to his criticism of popular feeling. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/206 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: One of the consequences of massive investment in antiretroviral access and other AIDS programmes has been the rapid emergence of large numbers of lay workers in the health systems of developing countries. In South Africa, government estimates are 65,000, mostly HIV/TB care-related lay workers contribute their labour in the public health sector, outnumbering the main front-line primary health care providers and professional nurses. The phenomenon has grown organically and incrementally, playing a wide variety of care-giving, support and advocacy roles. Using South Africa as a case, this paper discusses the different forms, traditions and contradictory orientations taken by lay health work and the system-wide effects of a large lay worker presence. As pressures to regularise and formalise the status of lay health workers grow, important questions are raised as to their place in health systems, and more broadly what they represent as a new intermediary layer between state and citizen. It argues for a research agenda that seeks to better characterise types of lay involvement in the health system, particularly in an era of antiretroviral therapy, and which takes a wider perspective on the meanings of this recent re-emergence of an old concept in health systems heavily affected by HIV/AIDS.

Abstract: There has been very little research investigating leisure boredom and risk behaviour among adolescents in South Africa. A systematic review of literature was conducted to synthesise current knowledge within the field of leisure boredom and risk behaviour among adolescents. An online and a hand search for relevant articles were conducted using keywords. This resulted in the retrieval of 25 articles that met the inclusion criteria. It was evident that the experience of leisure boredom is influenced by a variety of different factors, not least of which is the environment or context within which adolescents are situated. A key finding was how few studies have focussed on leisure boredom and risk behaviour in adolescents, particularly in the developing world. Also, gaps in the knowledge basis were identified, thus providing direction for future research. The review focuses attention on leisure boredom as a factor contributing to risk behaviour in adolescents. Expanding knowledge in this area is useful for individuals and organisations concerned with adolescent health, education and development. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/705 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This prospective cohort study investigated whether leisure boredom predicts high school dropout. Leisure boredom is the perception that leisure experiences do not satisfy the need for optimal arousal. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire which included the Leisure Boredom Scale. The original cohort of grade 8 students (n ¼ 303) was followed up twice at 2-yearly intervals. Of the 281 students at the second follow-up, 149 (53.0%) students had dropped out of school. The effect of leisure boredom on dropout was investigated using logistic regression taking into account the clustering effect of the schools in the sampling strategy, and adjusting for age, gender and racially classified social group. Leisure boredom was a significant predictor of dropout (OR ¼ 1.08; 95% CI: 1.01–1.15) in students 14 years and older, but not so in younger students (OR ¼ 1.0; 95% CI: 0.95–1.05). The study has shown that measuring leisure boredom in grade 8 students can help identify students who are more likely to drop out of school. Further research is needed to investigate the longitudinal association between leisure boredom and school dropout. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/661 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This study identified leisure constraints, constraints negotiation strategies, and their relative frequencies among 114 high school students from one under-resourced area of South Africa. Through focus group discussions, participants identified intrapersonal, interpersonal, structural, and sociocultural constraints to leisure, suggesting some degree of universality in this previously documented typology. Intrapersonal constraints were mentioned most often. Whereas participants readily identified ways to overcome interpersonal and structural constraints, strategies for overcoming intrapersonal and sociocultural constraints were not mentioned frequently, suggesting a potential need to help adolescents identify and employ these types of strategies.

Abstract: The encrusting coralline alga, Leptophytum foveatum, is the most abundant crustose alga in the lower eulittoral zone at Yzerfontein and other exposed sites on the West Coast of South Africa. The surface of this species is usually imbricate (appears scaly) as a result of the aparently spontaneous regeneration of margins at the surface of the thallus. The thicker, fleshy, brown crustose alga, Ralfsia verrucosa, usually overgrows the margins of the thinner L. foveatum; however, L. foveatum counteracts this overgrowth by regenerating margins at the thallus surface, and these are able to grow up and over the encroaching margin of R. verrucosa. Experiments in which these regenerated margins were removed showed that the regenerated margins are able to slow or stop the encroachment of R. verrucosa. It is suggested that the regeneration of thallus margins at the surface, away from the primary thallus margin, allows L. foveatum to maintain the advantages of being thin (e.g. more rapid lateral growth), but also gain some of the advantages of being thick (e.g. improved competitive ability).

Abstract: Introduction: South Africa is a country that warrants specific interest in the exploration of the significance of the liberal rights that have been assigned to homosexuals in the context of its quest towards citizenship and equality for all. There are several indicators that make this country unique with regard to the recognition of sexual orientation. Firstly, it is the only country on the African continent that ensconced the right to sexual orientation in its constitution; secondly, through protracted litigation homosexuals were afforded other significant rights, amongst them, the right to adopt; the right to a deceased partner's pension benefits; the right to immigration of foreign partners; the recognition of children born to same-sex couples by way of donor insemination; the right to non-discrimination in employment; the decriminalization of sodomy between consenting adult men; full custody of children in instances of divorce; becoming joint, legal parents of adopted children and most recently the right to enter into a civil partnership. The right to marry offers the promise of more substantive equality and inclusive citizenship. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/611 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In this article, Desmond Manderson's book, Proximity, Levinas, and the Soul of Law (2006) is analysed specifically with reference to the accuracy with which it translates Derrida's thinking into law. Manderson, in a number of instances, invokes Derrida's thinking as a 'corrective' to that of Levinas. The author shows that this invocation by Manderson of Derrida's texts is selective and does not take account of Derrida's broader 'philosophical' approach. The author points to the differences between, but also the correspondence in the thinking of Levinas and Derrida. He contends that being true to Derrida's thinking requires that proximity be viewed not as simply making law responsive as proposed by Manderson, but as having a paradoxical structure. The latter would give expression to the distinction that Derrida draws between the conditional and the unconditional. Only if proximity is viewed in this manner will judges be faced with a true responsibility in deciding negligence cases; only then will justice stand a chance.

Abstract: Introduction: The objective of this paper is to describe the socio-economic conditions of child-headed households in Gauteng, so as to measure the extent of poverty among these children. In order to do this, the study includes an assessment of the size and sources of the monthly income of child-headed households in Gauteng. The contribution by the different sources of income to total monthly income is also analysed. Special attention is paid to the contribution of income generated by household members themselves, as well as to social grants. The data on income received are then further analysed in terms of poverty criteria, so as to determine whether the monthly income of child-headed households conforms to the minimum income necessary for material survival. The monthly income is compared to the different amounts required for material survival by different family sizes in the applicable urban centres in South Africa.

Boyce Avenue are a generous lot…gift One Direction £20k worth of guitars!
Boyce Avenue give One Direction £20,000 worth of guitars.
The boyband reportedly received the gifts from US rock group Boyce Avenue as a thank you for booking them as the support act on their UK tour earlier this year.
"The One Direction boys were really grateful but it was a bit of a pointless present as only Niall [Horan] can play guitar," a source said.
"Harry, Liam, Zayn and Louis are now desperately trying to learn because it was a really kind gift. Boyce Avenue got each guitar engraved with a personal message so the boys would remember the tour.
Would you like to see more guitars in One Direction's sound?

Miami Beach, FL. - (December 11, 2011) - Olympic bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan ran 1 hour, 9 minutes and 58 seconds to set a new Florida state record and clocked the fastest women's half-marathon time in 2011 for an American under warm, breezy conditions at the inaugural Dodge Latin Music Miami Beach Half Marathon benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Flanagan's new teammate, Kara Goucher, came to Miami Beach with a goal time of 73 minutes from her new coach, Jerry Schumacher. Goucher executed her plan to near perfection, finishing second with a time of 1:12:59--her first race since suffering a hip injury at this past summer's world track & field championships. Lisa Uhl, who is also part of Flanagan and Goucher's Oregon Track Club training group, finished third in 1:15:24. "This was a rough year for me with a lot of big changes and a lot of heartache. It wasn't easy to do what I did but I know in the long run it was the best decision for myself and my family, but I'm looking forward now," said Goucher, on recovering from injury and switching coaches. "I've got my sights set on the Olympic Trials and a fresh start in 2012. I feel really good. It's not my fastest half marathon ever, but it's given me the most confidence I've ever had going into a marathon, so I feel really good about it." "We have five weeks to go until the trials, three more big weeks where I feel I can gain a lot of fitness coming back from my injury, then it's two weeks of relaxing, especially one week of feeling good and then it's all about just gutting it out and finishing in the top 3," Goucher added, about her training plans for what will be only her second marathon in more than two years. "We wanted to come down here to fight through the humidity a little bit and it couldn't be any worse than Houston. I think we needed this coming off a hard week of training to really push ourselves. It was a great atmosphere and finishing on the sand was a first." In the men's race, Canada's Simon Bairu won with a time of 1:05:38. Reigning U.S. cross country champion Brent Vaughn finished second with a time of 1:05:41, with teammate Tim Nelson coming across in third in 1:07:44. The lead men approached the first mile in 4:46, separating themselves from the rest of the pack with California's Christian Hesch, a sub-4:00 miler. A late arrival and lack of warmup forced Hesch to drop out at 5K, and the Oregon Track Club trio were unchallenged the rest of the way. Nelson began to fall off the pace during the eighth mile, leaving just Vaughn and Bairu. The duo ran together until the final mile when Bairu surged to take home the 3-second win. "I may have under estimated the course, but today was a pace that I'll probably want to run at Houston. Leading from the gun and to be able to do that on my own in this condition gives me confidence for Houston," said Bairu, a collegiate All-American at Wisconsin who will try for the Canadian Olympic qualifier of 2:11:29 or faster at the Chevron Houston Marathon, which takes place the day after the U.S. Trials. "The record high for Houston in mid-January is 80 degrees; we consciously came here to get experience in hot, humid conditions and it was great preparation. This was my first time in Miami and I'm a Heat fan. I loved being out here and definitely want to come back when I'm not training." Former Missouri State University basketball star Jackie Stiles finished seventh in the women's half marathon with a time of 1:24:20. Stiles, who was drafted 4th overall in the 2001 WNBA draft and was later voted Rookie of the Year, is the women's all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division 1 basketball history with 3,393 points. "I have so much respect for these endurance athletes and what they put themselves through, because every single time I push myself to the limit of almost being sick and you never feel like that after a basketball game," said Stiles. "After going through 13 surgeries during my basketball career, I never thought I'd get the chance to have this kind of competition again. Just getting to do these Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series events are so much fun and giving me the competitive void I've missed for so many years." Despite the record-setting performances and notable big-name runners, nobody stole the show in Miami Beach like rapper Pitbull, who performed a Latin mashup of his chart-topping hits to a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd on the beach. It was perhaps the most blockbuster finish line concert in the 14-year-history of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series and a fitting end to the 2011 tour. The 2012 Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series kicks off with the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon & ½ Marathon to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society on Sunday, January 15.For more information, or to register for a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series Event, visit Competitor.com.

Richard Dawkins on Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation
Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain's Conference on Political Islam, Sharia Law and Civil Society a resounding success October 14, 2008 The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain's first international conference on Political Islam, Sharia Law and Civil Society held at Conway Hall on October 10 was a resounding success. Nearly 300 people came together to discuss issues ranging from apostasy, the freedom to criticise and renounce religion, Sharia law and civil society and creationism, faith schools and religious education. Held on the International Day against the Death Penalty, the conference was a stark reminder of the many killed or facing execution for apostasy in countries ruled by Islamic laws.

MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Monterey County Sheriff's Office is searching for a male who fired shots at a deputy in Monterey County Sunday morning.
At about 2 a.m., a sheriff's deputy attempted to contact a male walking on Teague Avenue in unincorporated Monterey County, the sheriff's office said.
The male, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, fled on foot when he saw the deputy. When the deputy pursued, the male fired two shots from his handgun, according to the sheriff's office.
With the assistance of the California Highway Patrol, and Greenfield and Soledad police, the sheriff's office set up a perimeter to conduct a search, but could not find the suspect, sheriff's officials said.
The case is ongoing.

While it would be very valid research, is too much attention being given to the negative impact of certain situations/disasters? What about learning the positive impacts a corpse may have on enriching the soil around it?
Overall, I think it's good to look into this. It does seem odd that a small, baptist college would have this kind of program, but that doesn't make it wrong. If somebody is giving the land to C-N, and it really can't be used for much else, why not? There are other factors such as financing the cirriculum and being accredited, but that's why this is being proposed, not implemented, at this time. If not a body farm, maybe it could be an awesome course for intramural paintball.
Good work, C-N! Keep it up!

The Chattanooga Mocs volleyball dropped a 3-1 match on the road to Georgia Southern Friday night in Statesboro, Ga. The match was one of two scheduled for the weekend. UTC looks to bounce back tomorrow afternoon as the team buses from Statesboro to Charleston, S.C., to take on The Citadel.
Sophomores Briana Reid (Houston, Texas) and Lauren Gainer (Boca Raton, Fla.) each recorded double-digit kills against the Eagles Friday. Reid led the Mocs with 13 and Gainer finished second with 11, each totaling 13.0 points on the night. Junior attacker Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) tacked on nine kills and finished with 12.0 points for the Mocs.
Despite the offensive production, UTC fell behind in the first set with a 25-14 loss. Georgia Southern repeated with a 25-18 win in the second set to take a 2-0 lead to the intermission.
Chattanooga surged back in the third set to take a 25-23 win, edging the Eagles to shorten the match to a 2-1 lead. The Mocs totaled 14 kills in the set – four more than the 10 scored in each of the first two sets – and registered the night's best hitting percentage at .229.
The UTC defense held Georgia Southern to a match-worst .194 hitting percentage in the frame. Despite the Eagles jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the third, Chattanooga rallied back with three straight kills from the offensive leaders. Talley, Gainer and Reid each tallied a kill before scoring 12 of the match's next 17 points. UTC took a 10-9 lead and never handed it back to Georgia Southern en route to the Mocs' on set win.
The Eagles took the fourth set with a mirrored 25-23 score of their own.
Despite the 3-1 loss, the Chattanooga defense recorded 70 digs and four blocks on the night. Junior Melissa Green (Boca Raton, Fla.) collected 23 digs while 18 digs for Reid hands her a triple-double on the night (13 kills, 13 points, 18 digs).
Chattanooga continues its three-match road trip Saturday against The Citadel at 4 p.m. Live stats and video are available on the volleyball schedule page.

Not that WriteWorders aren't out there in the sun, of course. Or in the office, or the Algarve ... But the forums are still busy, because, as everyone here knows, writing isn't something you can pick up, and drop when you fancy doing something else. It's an addiction, or possibly a form of OCD, and once you've got it, you've probably got it for life. Or at least for Christmas, and Midsummer, and most of the months in between. (upstairs typing, when you should be downstairs having fun...) And that's before we've even mentioned NaNoWriMo.
So what's being talked about in the forums at the moment? In the Technique Forum alone, all sorts of things have come up. WriteWorder Jennifer1976 asked this:
I wrote the first draft of my wip in present tense (it is a memoir), and am in the early stages of editing/re-writing. I've got two versions on the go at the moment – one in past tense and one in present tense. I can see the benefits of either for my wip and as an exercise it's making me look closer at my writing. At some point I will have to choose which one to go with, although I'm quite enjoying the procrastination of doing both at the mo!
and members weighed in with thoughts, links and discussion. relative merits of past tense, and present tense, And in another thread MariaH asked for some collective advice:
Does anybody know how I can STOP constantly editing my work as I'm in the middle of writing it? I never used to, but for the last couple of years I've got into the habit of rewriting/checking facts on the internet/checking a particular word is suitable/playing around with one or two sentences etc It drives me crazy and really slows me down, but it's like a bad habit I can't break.
and some fascinating insights about the whole question of process flowed in with the replies.
A thread of Debac's, from a while back, about what to do when your protagonist just would talk and think in clichés - how to make her authentic but not, well, clichéd - gave rise to this thread, about thinking in terms of what figurative language she would use.
And if you're a Full Member, and have access to the private forums, click through to threads about
How to Put Together a Plot Arc for an Editor in Private Members, while in the Lounge they're discussing Whether a Mysterious Past is Too Big A Cliché for a Protagonist.
And, of course, you can start your own thread, asking for help, insight, advice or just fellow-feeling about whatever's running in your writing-mind today. Join in!

Amazingly I didn't edit until the end of my novel. But this is the first one I've ever managed to finish so that, in itself, is remarkable. I'm now busy (hahahahaha) editing and I've decided it is not my forte :) Good to know though.

I think everyone's different on this, and some are more comfortable with what they find themselves doing than others are: others know that what they tend to do doesn't suit them, but not what to do about it.
Which is where the Forums come in - for other ideas, suggestions, support, or just knowing you're not as weird or stupid as you thought! ;)

Normally the aorta arises from the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the right ventricle. In truncus arteriosus both vessels are combined into one vessel. A hole between the two ventricles is usually also present. As a result, unoxygenated and oxygenated blood mix completely. This causes too much blood to be sent to the lungs and not enough oxygentated blood to get to the heart and the rest of the body.

Terry Dunn talks Downtown, politics and KC sports
- Austin Alonzo
- Reporter- Kansas City Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
As a member of the Civic Council, could you talk about your thoughts on the tax reform Missouri is considering?
On one side, I believe that state government needs to be cost effective. On the other side, there's the basic quality-of-life issue. I think there's an expectation on delivering quality education, and I think the Legislature can cut too much and impact the quality of education. To a person on the Civic Council, there is a belief that we have to focus on education because the tie from education to economic activity is so strong. I very fervently agree. I expect that this Legislature can at least understand the quality of life that's expected by Missourians, and when they fall short of that, they need to address it with additional resources.
What motivates you to give back to the community?
Really understanding that each person has a role to play in this world, and if you can make it a better place — if we can possibly impact people's lives — that really gets to the core of what I consider striving to become a good person.
You used to be quite the athlete, right?
I was a pulling guard (at Bishop Miege High School). I was pretty fast, and we did a lot of pulling and trapping. I have a different demeanor when I play sports than when I am in the office. I like to go out and kill people.
Does it carry over?
There's that competitive fire that's always there. Working in a teaming environment and trying to lead in a group, I think, are skill sets that basically pay huge dividends later on in life.
What does such a busy guy do in his spare time?
If I've got a free night I'll watch the Royals, or I'll watch the Chiefs, but I'll just as quickly, if they're not playing well, turn off the TV and do something else. Anymore, I enjoy the Chiefs, but I don't have time. My time is precious, and it's hard to give up a day to go out and watch them play football. So once a year, that's a lot, but I'm watching them and enjoying it and want to stay knowledgeable about what they are doing. I'm more into the intricacies of the game than watching an individual. I watch all 22 players on the field.

A Trenton man already facing charges in connection with a phony kidnapping extortion plot is now facing drug charges as well.
In a joint investigation, Middletown and Morrisville police allege that Larry Clegg, 24, of Trenton, sold heroin and crack cocaine in both towns four times starting in June. At the time, Clegg had been out on bail following his April arrest in the hoax case.
Two heroin and crack cocaine buys took place in June with a total of $1,180 in prerecorded buy money, police said. The last two alleged drug deals took place this month, police said.
In a Sept. 13 deal in Middletown, Clegg was not satisfied with a proposed $20 crack sale, complaining the money wasn't enough, police added. So police raised the amount of the sale to $50. When the deal was executed, Clegg had a child in the car with him, according to an affidavit.
Clegg was arrested after a fourth transaction Monday and police say they recovered the prerecorded buy money on Clegg. After he was taken into police custody, Clegg admitted selling $50 worth of suspected crack cocaine, court documents show.
Clegg was arraigned Tuesday before Middletown District Judge John Kelly Jr. on multiple drug-related charges, including manufacture, delivery and possession with intent to manufacture and deliver. He was sent to Bucks County prison in lieu of 10 percent of $50,000 bail.
Clegg also faces a conspiracy theft and extortion charge for allegedly participating in a plot with two other men to extort $1,000 from a Middletown woman by convincing her that her grandson was being held hostage by his drug dealer, Clegg.
Clegg allegedly agreed to go along with the hoax in order to get money he was owed, according to court documents in the case.

MDES reauthorization debate continues
JACKSON — A key Democratic lawmaker believes he's reached a compromise with Republican Gov. Haley Barbour over proposed changes to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security to make the state eligible for more stimulus money.
A bill to reauthorize the Mississippi Department of Employment Security stalled during this year's session when some Democrats wanted to force Barbour to accept $56 million in federal stimulus for the jobless.
The department handles unemployment claims and pays out benefits. Businesses pay a tax to help cover the cost.
House Labor Committee Chairman Rufus Straughter of Belzoni said yesterday that Barbour won't fight an eligiblity change in a bill passed by the House.
The bill would allow the state to begin considering the most recently completed quarters when determining eligibility for unemployment benefits. Under the current system, up to six months of a worker's earnings are not considered because employers and the unemployment agency are given that much time to process paperwork. The department has been given stimulus money that could be used to upgrade to an electronic system, Straughter said.
The eligibility change would allow Mississippi to receive $18.7 million of the $56.1 million.
The language adjusting the eligibility period is in a bill approved by the House before lawmakers recessed this past weekend. The House also passed a bill to reauthorize the agency.
"While I still strongly believe the state should receive all federal funds available for unemployed workers during this time of fierce economic hardship, I am satisfied with the compromise to give close to 7,000 Mississippians $18.7 million in assistance," he said in a news release.
Senate Finance Chairman Dean Kirby said he won't hold a committee meeting until April 20 when the legislative session resumes.
The governor remains opposed to changing state law to provide unemployment benefits to those seeking part-time jobs, another stimulus requirement.
Barbour spokesman Dan Turner said the governor wouldn't actively oppose the revised eligibility period, but "Barbour has been consistent in his opposition to expanding unemployment benefits to those who are not willing to accept full-time employment."
Barbour has said changing benefits for part-time workers could lead to a tax increase on the businesses that pay into a fund to cover the benefits after the stimulus money is gone. The bill approved by the House doesn't deal with part-time worker benefits.
The eligibility change is part of the stimulus' modernization option, which involves quicker data collection so the most recent quarter can be used to determine if jobless people had sufficient wages to qualify for unemployment benefits.
Kirby, R-Pearl, said he had not seen the legislation passed by the House. "If the bills are worthy of bringing out, we'll bring them out" during the April 20 committee meeting, he said.
Regardless, Kirby said, lawmakers intend to keep the unemployment agency funded and operational.
"We have too many people who depend on that," he said.
The bills are House Bill 1755 and House Bill 1756.

Report Details Problems Of Special Education
By RICK GREEN; Courant Staff Writer
July 10, 1997
Poorly trained teachers and aides, excessive lawyers' fees, endless bureaucratic red tape and misdiagnosed students are among the problems raised in a new report on special-education programs in Connecticut. Though the recently released report for the state Department of Education highlights positive aspects of the special-education system, it also points to many troubling areas. It was based on comments and interviews with 80 people from around the state, including superintendents, teachers, lawyers and parents.

School System Hit By Parent Claim
By PHIL LEMOS; Courant Staff Writer
April 23, 1999
A local couple claims the school district refused to provide appropriate special-education services for their learning-disabled son. William and Rebecca Bossi filed a complaint with the state on behalf of their son, Matthew. Matthew was identified as dyslexic and hyperactive, and suffering from mild cerebral palsy in preschool, before he attended East Granby public schools, his father said. Matthew attended East Granby public schools through the third grade. The family removed him from the district because it would only provide two hours a week of special-education services, William Bossi said.

The town council and board of finance approved two reimbursement grants that will help the school district pay for special education.

The boards then approved a grant for $27,988, which will help the school system offset costs of special education.
Stafford Decision Jeopardizes Special-education Aid
By Gary Duchane; Courant Staff Writer
February 11, 1994
A decision by school officials not to take over a special-education program operated by Newington Children's Hospital places the school system in jeopardy of losing state education funding. The school board budget committee decided Wednesday not to form its own special-education program as recommended by Superintendent of Schools Wayne Senecal. Instead, the committee budgeted $800,000 to retain a program run by the hospital in the town's schools. Senecal had proposed to duplicate the hospital program next year at a cost of $545,000, saving money in tuition for the 33 students in the program.
Harsh View Of Special Education
By RICK GREEN; Courant Staff Writer
September 4, 1997
A state study of special-education released Wednesday paints an alarming picture of a booming program in which thousands of students are placed, but few ever leave. Nearly 14 percent of Connecticut public school children are in special-education classes, the fifth highest rate in the country and a figure that has been increasing 2 1/2 times faster than the school population. The state Department of Education study finds: Too many students are ending up in special-education classes because young children are not being taught to read properly; fighting between lawyers dominates instead of sound educational decisions; and school officials aren't knowledgeable enough about how to respond to children with learning disabilities.
Board Urged To Keep Hospital's Program For Special Education
By Gary Duchane; Courant Staff Writer
February 8, 1994
Parents of special-education students gave the school board compelling accounts of progress their children have made in a Newington Children's Hospital program, and passionately urged the board Monday not to terminate the program. The school board is considering duplicating the program with its own staff as a means of saving money on tuition and to satisfy the state Department of Education, which says the town can operate its own special-education program. Parents said, however, that the program now operated by the hospital out of the Earl Witt Intermediate School cannot be duplicated.
Don't Resist Change For Special Education
February 23, 1994
The Stafford Board of Education should reconsider its decision not to take over a special-education program run by Newington Children's Hospital. State officials are pushing the town to make the change because they say the school system is capable of operating the program and would save money. The 2-year-old Newington Children's program was conceived to move Stafford children from a larger program in East Hartford to one in town. It serves about 30 students in all grade levels who have mental or emotional problems.
Proposal On Complaints Causes Concern
By JODIE MOZDZER, firstname.lastname@example.com
March 26, 2009
Parents and special education advocates fear that a proposal before the legislature could make it harder for special-education students to get "free, appropriate, public education" in the state. Under a current regulation, parents who are unable to resolve a problem with their child's special-education plan through the school district can appeal to the state Department of Education. The appeal can lead to a state-mediated hearing at which the school district must demonstrate that the education plan adheres to federal law. But a bill proposed by the legislature's education committee would shift that burden of proof to the party filing the complaint - which in most cases is the parents.

By JENNA CARLESSO, email@example.com and The Hartford Courant
August 29, 2013
Two administrators charged with overseeing a federal grant for special education in the public schools have been placed on administrative leave as the school system investigates whether they spent more money than the grant permitted.
