This homemade version of cheeseburger macaroni is much healthier than the boxed version and it's also gluten-free.

(new)A familiar face in a familiar city
Like coins in a phone box these are the days of our lives. As had become our ritual in Cordoba, I started the day by checking my inbox for the arrival of our etickets to Jo'burg. Nada. We were still ticketless and our flight was less than a week away. Once again I hopped on Skype to call South African Airways. Imagine my surprise when the call was answered after just five minutes of the now-familiar Ladysmith Black Mambazo and "your call is important to us" messaging. However the connection was super bad and after spending another five minutes spelling out our names (mike-alpha-charlie-kilo-echo-november-zulu-india-echo, bravo-alpha-romeo-romeo-echo-tango-tango) repeating each phonetic letter about three times, the connection conked out and I had to start all over again.
This time the connection was clear and I appeared to connect with the one person at SAA who could actually help. Although he briefly tested my patience by asking me if I had tried to use the website. I held in all my vitriol and quickly explained to him that using the website had started this whole mess. Hearing my patience just hanging on by a thread he set to work to remedy the situation. He was able to confirm that the tickets were issued and was about to wish me a nice day when I asked him about the etickets. Apparently, SAA doesn't email e-tickets which would explain why we'd never gotten any but there was one major problem – having now booked over the phone for online tickets, we had no flight information, no flight numbers, no times, and no terminal directions. He told me he'd email me an itinerary but needed my email address which is my full last name which is a full 15 letters that I had to spell out phonetically once again (mike-alpha-charlie…) Now there was another problem. The jinx of our tickets had managed to infect their email system and he was unable to email the itinerary to us and the reference numbers for the tickets weren't even registering as valid. However, through some clever internet magic he was able to email them to himself and then forward them to us. I cried out in relief when I saw them in appear in my mailbox, cutting him off his profuse apology. After two weeks and 4 phone calls and one in-person visit to the office, we finally had plane tickets.
With that finally resolved I was kind of at a loss of what to do with my time and energy. So I redirected it and called Rogers to resolve the refund they owed me. They promised to mail me a cheque after admitting that they only issue refunds if the customer asks for it. That shocked me since the amount was for over $100 and not some minute administrative amount. Accountant Adrian was appalled by this rather shady (and perhaps illegal) business practice. But obviously getting our plane tickets had vastly improved my mood and I was just amused by the cheerful way the operator completely admitted the policy. Whatever – we were getting money back and just in time for Christmas.
After all that I really didn't feel like doing much. So we waited around the hostel until it was time to catch our midnight bus to BsAs. Although it was a midnight bus, we decided to walk to the bus station. Since nobody in Argentina appears to go to bed until 2am we knew the streets would be full of people and there would be no danger. But it wasn't just the streets that were full – even at this late hour, the bus station was packed. I every bus bay was full and every bus was filled with passengers. But I guess 11pm is the equivalent of rush hour in a country where dinner is eaten way after dark.
Our bus arrived on time and we assumed our seats up at the front and drifted off until we were given a hot dinner which we didn't expect given the hour and the cheap price. And since there was no mystery meat and my stomach appeared to have recovered from the last bus meal, I took a chance and ate it then went to bed. Pulled into Argentina just at the tail end of morning rush hour. Easily navigated our way back to the hostel via the metro.
It was nice to be back in a familiar hostel even if all the faces were new. But just as we had run into a familiar face in Cordoba we were about to run into another one. Simon from Guayaquil was also in Buenos Aires. After 4 months since our parting at the bus station headed in opposite directions, it was time to meet up for a drink. But first it was time for a proper nights sleep in a proper bed.
The next day was another one of planning and nothingness at the hostel. We made plans to meet Simon tonight at a pub not too far away – a proper English pub, much to Adrian's pleasure. And then it was time to make our plans for South Africa. We were going to be in the country during the high holiday season and knew that we were going to have to plan our whole time in the country and book in advance to ensure we had a place to stay. We had searched all over the country for an African guidebook but had had no luck. Our last chance was a book store across from the pub we'd be heading to tonight. But until we had that, the internet was the only tool at our disposal. Trying to plan a trip while flipping through a hundred web pages was an arduous task so I hoped we'd find the elusive guidebook and narrowed the search to a hostel in Jo-burg. I was immediately shocked by what I found. Since no one apparently visits the city centre or at the very least stays there, all the hostels were out in the gated suburbs which made it hard to figure out which had the best location. The other shocking thing was the price. We had found the last month or so expensive but it didn't prepare us for the cost of things in South Africa. The cheapest double room (shared bathroom) was over $35 but most were over $40. Gulp. Adrian and I decided that whatever route we took through South Africa it was going to have to be a short one or else our goal of reaching Egypt and Jordan was going to be a rather impossible one. But we hoped with a guidebook in hand we'd be able to find a better deal.
We headed out to meet Simon early planning to hit the book store first. Unfortunately it was closed, despite the sign in the window saying they were open. Oh Argentina, I will not miss your wacky business hours. A look in the window, revealed that we weren't missing any thing. The bookstore was full of English language books but most were used novels and there was no visible travel section let alone an African travel section. Le sigh. We drowned our sorrows at the pub while waiting for Simon who arrived shortly afterwards.
On the road, people you only knew for a few days a few months ago are immediately friends and catching up with people who would be strangers at any other time in any other place was like meeting up with an old friend. We spent the evening chatting about where we'd been and what we were planning to do and it felt like meeting any friend for a pub. The pub was popular and we were soon sharing our table with an Argentinean couple who spoke amazing English (much better than all of our Spanish) and who were excited to hear our travel tales just as much as we were happy to hear about their lives in Buenos Aires. It was a good time made better by the two for one drinks, I'm sure. Adrian and I haven't been the most social people while traveling. But in a way that was good. It meant we hadn't blown a lot of money on drinking and it meant that we really enjoyed and treasured the times when we have gone out with folks we've met.
Unfortunately I completely forgot I'd broughtmy camera out to capture the evening but I know the memories will last just as long - hopefully the hang over wouldn't.

it's getting better now that we're getting used to the prices and therefore know where to find the cheap stuff. we also had to get used to sleeping rougher and eating in (all the time), and not doing every tour-activity. latin america had spoiled us a bit.

So sorry everyone. We are alive just not haven't had any luck with internet in the last month. Like not even an internet cafe in the last 3 weeks and sometimes no electricity. Malawi is lovely but not very computer friendly. However, Tanzania seems to be much better so I hope to update a bit more.

Why do ONLY foreigners get special promotion?
Re: Why do ONLY foreigners get special promotion?
'sVP wrote:The advertising board on the way to Airport is shown "Foreigner Zone.. Buying house (somewhere around Bangkok..) Foreigner, with Special Price!!"
I know the property company may want to attract foreigners to invest in property in Thailand. But, what about Thais who also want to own the property in their own country but have to pay higher price than non-resident?
Funny funny funny...by special price they mean the foreigner will pay more..much much more than the Thai would pay..
I you are right in pointing out that 2 tier pricing system is unfair and racist... but you probably would not agree that Thais should have to pay the same price as farang.

Sure hahahahahahahaha " Special Promotion " as a farang I have to pay higher prices on everything !
If I buy a car cash then I can not even register the car in my own name - special promotion
I can not get a creditcard in Thailand - special promotion
If I buy a house I can not have in my own name - special promotion
Thailand has a lot of " Special Promotions " for us farang . . . .
It is my deepest wish that Thais also get ALL the " Special Promotoins " that we the farang get ! ! ! ! !
Why do I not leave Thailand ????????
Easy !!!!!
Thai women also has " Special Promotions " for us farang . . . . 55555555555555555555

Now the economic \\ //// has hit the fan, the opposite is happening with the taxis (5 in my village), I used to pay 800 Baht for a return trip to Bangkok, then another offered the same for 600 Baht, now another one is offering 500 Baht. I enjoy this "Limbo, limbo, how low can you go" game.

Re: Why do ONLY foreigners get special promotion?
Amazing to see that we all like to complain about, special prices, farang prices, double pricing standards etc...
So why are we then still here...? there must be something about Thailand that at first brings us here and eventually makes us stay.... wonder what that might be?
Twenty years living and working in Thailand... you learn to live with it... and admit it, it's a good conversation piece with the"newly" arrived farangs...
It gives you the "savoir vivre" experience in Thailand.

Re: Why do ONLY foreigners get special promotion?
Outside our hotel, a tuktuk driver insisted the Emerald Palace was closed that day and he could take use somewhere better with good deals! My girlfriend started to get angry….
At the Emerald Palace, the first Taxi diver would not take use back to the MBK centre as 'its too short a trip' unless we first when to looked round his friends shop…..the girlfriend got even angrier.
Final at the MBK centre 2 Meter Taxi's in a row refused to turn on their meters, asking for a 100 baht for a 40 baht trip, this infuriated my girlfriend as they never try this with her….when she started to argue this with one of the driver he said to her (in Thai) 'why you choose farang over you own people, he can afford it'.
She says to me 'why they do this, this never happens when I'm on my own?' because your with a farang dear.
So to sum up, the 'special treatment' farangs get from Thai businesses deeply embarrassed my girlfriend and ruined our weekend together…Thailand such a special place for tourists. Next time she wants to come visit me in Cambodia instead, they still overcharge you their, but there way less obvious about it.

Re: Why do ONLY foreigners get special promotion?
i am a Kiwi living living and working in Ubon Ratchathani for 15 years. I don't own my house (registered in my son's name) but I do own my car and pickup and also two other work pickups are registered in my name. I also got terms to pay off my two private vehicles because the dealers were offering no interest payment terms which made sense to me. I also have a credit card with Siam Com. My only complaint there is it has a limit of only 60,000 baht but at least I have it for hotels and for traveling.
I never seem to get charged extra any where I go, except at those places where there is a policy of dual pricing. I did have problems getting my house built but that was more to with shoddy workmanship, a problem most Thais have as well.

Re: Why do ONLY foreigners get special promotion?
First of all, "taking from others if you can" is a fairly common theme in Thailand. I don't know exactly how long it goes back, but it goes back a very long time.
For example, the Thai government created the Thai police without providing them enough funding and basically gave them, (and other institutions in Thailand), the authority to "gin muang" (literally "eat cities"), and this has become deeply institutionalized in Thai society. When the government does not fund something enough (like the police force, customs workers, and most bureaucrats), they traditionally have been tacitly entitled to gain benefit from their position and "gin muang" (sorry, I don't know how to write the Thai word for "eat" in English and make it sound right, LOL).
The same type of "gin muang" mentality is applied to the vast majority of foreigners and tourists in Thailand, and for a lack of a better word or phrase, could be called "gin farangs", where the people, who are underpaid certainly have to make money somehow, as well as the government, basically permits the general population to "gin farang" as much as they can. As long as the farang does not complain about it (the "up to you" mentality), then it is easy and correct, per "gin muang" or perhaps more fun, "gin farangs" mentality.
However, this concept does not only apply to farangs, Thais in business are also subject to "gin muang" and often pay both the police for protection "gin muang" and also the local strong men for protection (we call this protection money "extortion" in the west, but that is often too strong of a word in Thailand).
So, in fact, it is not just the foreigners in Thailand, who are subject to "special pricing" or "special promotions", your social status and the perception of how much money you have (as other posters have mentioned), often determine how much "gin muang" you experience. The goals is to "get your money" and this is not much difference in any country with similar social-economic conditions.
Thailand is nothing like Western countries, BTW. People with only short or casual experience in the Kingdom, and people who do not study Thai history, are better off (sorry) not to try to overly simplify situations here. Of course it is common for people to get as much money as they can from foreigners, especially since they don't know the system(s) as do the Thais in their own country. Why should the government care if foreigners are unwittingly cheated? They don't, unless of course it makes headlines news and keeps other foreigners away.
To ask the question "Why do ONLY foreigners get special promotion?" is a great example of someone who really has a lot of learn about how Thailand operates, or otherwise is simply trolling to start a heated debate. There is no doubt that racism contributes to "gin farangs" as many in Thailand (both Thais and many foreigners working here) would consider it a glorious act of achievement to cheat a foreigner out of their life savings, if they could. This is normal here, sorry.
Of course, when you say this truth, the perfect example of the degree of racism and real thinking toward foreigners becomes self evident with the replies "why are you here farang, go home if you are so negative" .... this is because in Thailand, regardless of the state of the state of Thailand, foreigners are "farangs" and "Thais are Thai". Thais Love Thais. The rest of us are appreciated mostly according to how much money we bring in to the country, and how liberally we spend it.

A,)DRIVER: B......I still believe Ryan Newman is as good as any Nascar driver in its history! BUT, I have seen a few races that Ryan made some poor decisions. He's only human.........
B.)CREW CHIEF:B.........Matt Borland is as good as it gets folks! But, he's been at a sort of disadvantage due to so many years "out of the racing loop" in his current position. PLUS, he's dealing with a brand new car design and race team!
C.)PIT CREW: C+......They have been good,bad and very ugly at times. They need to step it up from here on out!
D.)TEAM OWNERS:A-.......We all know Tony's a proven Champion driver and is a great partial owner. I know very little about the silent partner Gene Haas other than he's very wealthy. Does he know anything about racing?
E.)ENGINE,CHASSIS,SUSPENSION SHOP PEOPLE:C.........This is a tough category to judge. All S/H chassis and engines are built by Hendrick Motorsports. BUT, once these are received by S/H. It's up to them in tweaking either the chassis or engines! Being simply a spectator. Newman looks under-powered at times and I'm not talking corners here. I 'm talking even on the straight-aways folks! Corners entering,center and off is all about car balance and is the responsibility of the chassis,suspension folks! The engine tuner can set up an engine for gas mil-ledge or what I call.......max it out!
In my opinion. Ryans engine tuner is one of there problems.(many will argue this) I say, max out ALL of Ryans engines and let the driver do the rest period!
I'm just giving you "training wheels" with this post my friends! Your comments as always are very welcomed! Just don't rip the author...it's only one mans opinion not necessarily facts!

SOURCE Pennsylvania Office of the Governor
HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett today joined manufacturers throughout the commonwealth in recognition of last Friday's National Manufacturing Day, highlighting the recommendations and implementation of his Manufacturing Advisory Council.
"My administration's Manufacturing Advisory Council identified the critical components necessary for the growth of any successful manufacturer," Corbett said. "Through providing critical access to capital and freeing up operating cash to support new job creation, we are encouraging the growth of Pennsylvania manufacturers."
Recognizing manufacturing's value to Pennsylvania's economy, Corbett commissioned a private advisory council in 2011 to identify and prioritize top issues that can help influence, sustain and advance that sector in the state.
The 24-member Governor's Manufacturing Advisory Council, led by the Team PA Foundation, sent its report to Corbett and the General Assembly outlining a list of 15 key recommendations it believes will help Pennsylvania remain competitive in today's global economy.
The report focuses on the building blocks of a strong manufacturing sector; new sets of tools to drive innovation and product development; better access to domestic and international markets; strategic public/private collaboration; improved access to capital; and a highly skilled and educated workforce. The council also found that many companies are having a problem finding workers with the education and skills needed to fill the growing number of advanced manufacturing positions available.
The Corbett Administration has since taken many of the recommendations from the council as guidance for future policies, including:

by Nathan -- April 26th 2012 -- Memphis, TN
This phone is exactly what I was looking for. I did not want a data package or a slide out keyboard but I did want a full keyboard so this left me with few choices. So then I found this phone. This phone is a good quality phone with a full keyboard that does not force you into a data package. So far I love this phone. It is easy to use and does everything I need it to do. I may never go back to smart phones. One thing to remember is that this is not a high tech blackberry or iPhone it should not be compared to smart phones it is a little slow in loading music or pictures but not a big deal. If you want a good basic phone that is easy to get around on, can do emails, (if you want it to) internet, (if you want it to) play music, or take pictures this is your phone. I am surprised verizon is not forcing you into some type of data package with this phone actually!

I received this phone as an upgrade at verizon. I am getting comfortable with this phone so I didn't rate it high in the ease of use category. But if you are looking for a phone to call and text with no data plan, this fits the bill. I don't have the phone glued to my hand and ear so the battery life works for me. My daughter has one and charge holds great for her (2 days). The phone is light, sleek and has a nice full qwerty. I have noticed a slight pause or delay in receiving the call, had my daughter call me on hers, but other than that, I'm very satisfied.

Channing Tatum and Bradley Cooper Lose to 2-Year-Old Basketball Boy Wonder
Sarah Flanigan at omg!17 hrs agoTitus Ashby might only be two-years-old, but he's already making mince-meat of super stars.
The toddler became a viral sensation for his incredible basketball skills and his ability to make a basket from just about any angle or beat just about anyone … and now that includes Bradley Cooper and Channing Tatum. The little guy met the movie stars during an appearance on the Spanish TV show, "El Hormiguero" and wound up beating the pants off the two former Sexiest Men Alive. Titus won over Channing 14-5, and scored a victory over Bradley with 14-8.
Though the grown men couldn't believe what the young boy could do, backstage, they both got into deep conversations with their opponent. "Alright man, we've got to talk about something," Channing said. "I thought you said you were going to let me win. You crushed me in the basketball thing."
"I think I played pretty good. I mean, I didn't have the eye of the tiger like you," Bradley said. "I think if I train a little bit more — you know, eat right, get some sleep, have that focus and drive you have right now. You're an intimidating guy."
What Happens When Carrie Bradshaw Meets … Carrie Bradshaw?
Sarah Flanigan at omg!1 day agoNew York City is big enough for two Carrie Bradshaws, as both Sarah Jessica Parker and AnnaSophia Robb can attest.
SJP created the iconic character on HBO's "Sex and the City," and the 20-year-old is currently starring as the teenage version of the character in "The Carrie Diaries." While AnnaSophia admitted to Us Weekly in March 2012 that Sarah Jessica sent her an encouraging letter before she began filming the CW series, the two had never met face to face before … until now!
They attended the Cosmo 100 Power Lunch in New York City on Monday, and Cosmopolitan magazine tweeted a snapshot of their very first picture together, with both looking equally as dazzling and proving why they were meant to play Ms. Bradshaw. Series creator Candace Bushnell later posted this great photo of the two Carries together:
Though the image showed that they were happy to see each other, the young starlet admitted to Vanity Fair in November that one of SJP's co-stars actually didn't even know that there was a "Sex and the City" prequel show on the air.
How Amy Adams's 'American Hustle' Role Has Inspired Her New Sultry Style
Sarah Flanigan at omg!1 day agoAmy Adams is an Oscar-nominated actress, but she's admitting that her latest role in "American Hustle" has left her feeling much more confident, and judging by her latest style choices, it's showing!
"Omg! Insider" special correspondent Carly Steel was at the movie's premiere in New York City on Sunday night, where the 39-year-old Amy admitted that before playing the scantily clad Sydney Prosser in the flick, she used to be self-conscious. "I've definitely become less self-conscious [since this character]," she said.
Well, one thing's for sure: It certainly may have inspired her super sexy Elie Saab number that she rocked on the red carpet! Showing some serious skin with sheer black lace panels, the radiant redhead was surely the center of attention.
Though she has been known to keep her ensembles on the conservative side, her most recent looks have definitely been making a different statement!
Hayden Panettiere Urges Ukrainians to 'Keep Fighting'
Sarah Flanigan at omg!2 days agoYou can always count on Hayden Panettiere to take a stand.
The vocal "Nashville" star and her fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, visited anti-government protesters in the Ukraine over the weekend and made a brief speech, showing their support for those fighting to have closer ties to the European Union instead of to Russia.
"As an American, I want you to know that I stand by you, I support your fight, and I will support it until the country of Ukraine in its entirety reflects the beauty, the true beauty of Ukrainian people. Keep fighting. I love you all," she said. "'There's a movement happening here, and you have a chance to make things right, to make things just. You have a right to a democracy."
As she spoke, her Ukranian beau translated her speech into Russian.
While the blond bombshell is American, her hubby-to-be is from the Ukraine, as is his brother Vitali, who is also a world boxing champion and has become a very popular opposition leader for the country's protestors.
Pamela Anderson Debuts Brunette Look
Sarah Flanigan at omg!4 days agoPamela Anderson stepped out at an art gallery event in Miami on Thursday night, and it seems she's gone to the dark side!
The former "Baywatch" star debuted a new brunette 'do, and we have to admit, she's almost unrecognizable from the platinum blonde we used to know.
The 46-year-old recently chopped off her long locks for an adorable pixie cut, but now with the darker shade, her look is quite different from how it was in her days running in slow motion on the beach.
Check out this video to see her new 'do, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for all the latest in entertainment news.
Joey Fatone's Losing His Hair, But Gaining a Gig
Sarah Flanigan at omg!5 days agoIt's official: The 'N Sync resurrection didn't stop when the boy banders left the stage during Justin Timberlake's epic performance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year.
No, they're not getting back together again — it seems that ship has sailed again — but they are getting new gigs. Like Joey Fatone, for instance. He just got a plush new role talking about his hair … or lack thereof.
Fatone is starring in a new Bosley hair transplant campaign, and showing what the top of his head looked like before he got a little help.
"Performing in front of a live audience can be pretty intimidating, so having a full head of hair was important to me," the 36-year-old singer said in a press release for the company. "Back then, I was the only one in the group getting thinner on top. I became self-conscious and started wearing hats more often."
So that explains it!

Stevie Nicks Reveals Her Emotional Connection to Lea Michele
Sarah Flanigan at omg!5 days agoFleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks was on the set of "Glee" for only two days in 2011 but created a deep bond with the cast during her brief time there. That bond grew even stronger after Cory Monteith passed away from a drug overdose in July.
"I made a real serious connection with all of them," she said. "And when Cory died I was devastated and I wrote a letter to the cast and I wrote to Lea and I sent her a bunch of stuff and I really tried to help."
The singer has a new documentary, "In Your Dreams," in stores now and revealed to "omg! Insider" correspondent Keltie Knight on Wednesday that she did her best to help Lea Michele get through the tough time because she, too, had recently lost a loved one due to an overdose.
"I had lost a godson to an overdose of Xanax and alcohol at a frat party at the end of 2011. That was heavily on my mind," Stevie revealed. "It's all an accident, a bad accident."
Check out this video to see what other thoughtful advice Stevie gave to help the "Glee" star, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for more of Stevie's interview.
The Real Reason Richie Sambora Left Bon Jovi's 'Because We Can' Tour
Sarah Flanigan at omg!6 days agoRumors about Richie Sambora parting ways with Bon Jovi began swirling after he left the band on their current "Because We Can" tour earlier this year. Now, the rocker is revealing the truth behind his departure.
"30 years on the road, man — I just needed to be," the 54-year-old tells "omg! Insider." "You miss so much. I mean, it's 24/7. You don't get to go home. I just needed a break."
A single dad to daughter Ava (her mom is his ex-wife Heather Locklear), who recently celebrated her sweet 16, Sambora says he made his decision with the teen in mind.
"I really wanted to spend time with my daughter," he says. "Because now she's driving. She's 16 and now she's mobile. She doesn't need dad so much anymore."
How Many Times Has Keira Knightley Worn Her Wedding Dress?
Sarah Flanigan at omg!7 days agoIt's rare enough that celebrities ever step out in the same dress twice, but apparently Keira Knightley isn't shy about recycling her fashion — especially when it comes to her wedding dress! The 28-year-old actress stepped out at the Serious Fun London Gala Tuesday night in a gorgeous light pink Chanel Haute Couture number, but it wasn't the first time we've seen it; the brunette beauty actually donned the lovely gown to marry her sweetheart, musician James Righton, in the South of France back in May.
But Keira's actually three times a lady when it comes to the frilly frock. After all, if you think wearing your wedding dress after you get hitched is awesome, how about wearing that same gown years before the big day? Like, say, back in 2008?
Check out this video to see how Keira accessorized the dress each time, and be sure to tune in to "omg! Insider" on TV tonight for all the latest in entertainment news.
Who Was Really Kissing Chris Hemsworth in 'Thor: The Dark World'?
Sarah Flanigan at omg!7 days agoNatalie Portman stars alongside Chris Hemsworth in "Thor: The Dark World," and the two have many scenes together throughout the film, but remember that steamy love scene between them in the end credits?
As it turns out, the scene wasn't actually between the co-stars, and Natalie wasn't really the lucky lady smooching it up with the hunky Australian!
The Oscar-winning actress revealed to the New York Daily News that it was really his wife, Elsa Pataky, who was the one puckering up for the big screen in the credits.
"It was for reshoots (after the film was finished) and he was working in Hong Kong and I couldn't get there because I was working on my own film," said Natalie. "And so they put his wife in my wig and costume, that's why it was so passionate. It was such a perfect solution, wasn't it..." she told the mag.

THE MAROON Loyola University New Orleans VOL. 79, NO. 07 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2001 MAROON.LOYNO.EDU Biologists weigh in on anthrax By Ellen Pivach News Editor Despite the recent anthrax scare in Florida, faculty and students at Loyola say they are not very concerned about the disease potentially affecting them. Maureen Shuh, assistant professor of biological sciences, said she is more concerned about getting in a car accident than about contracting anthrax. "I think this country is on top of events like that," Shuh said. "There are a lot of other problems." Shuh has had experience working with the deadly disease at Fort Detrick army base in Maryland. "1 worked at a facility that produced anthrax for the United States. The United States made weapons years ago; they don't anymore supposedly," she said. According to Shuh, ij is very difficult to manufacture anthrax in the form that is deadly to humans. "You'd have to package it into some kind of warhead and send it out there," she said. "It's hard to do it." According to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, the two deadliest forms of anthrax for humans are inhalation anthrax and intestinal anthrax. Inhalation anthrax is the form used in biomedical warfare because it is invisible and odorless, and people are unaware that they are breathing it in. It is an infectious disease that is caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis and is most commonly found in cattle and domestic farm animals. Shuh said that antibiotics can be used to treat the disease if it is detected early enough. "It's not that easy to get infected by anthrax, and it responds very well to antibiotics," she said. According to an Associated Press article, symptoms of anthrax are similar to those of the common cold or flu — one's body aches and develops a cough. The disease usually kills within three days after the initial symptoms are detected. The Center for Disease Control Web site says that "direct person-to-person spread of anthrax is extremely unlikely, if it occurs at all." Shuh agreed that the anthrax threat is not one to be concerned about. "The government is watching for stuff like that. I'm confident that we'll at least be able to take care of problems like that," she said. Other biology professors said they are not worried about biomedical warfare in the United States. "Anthrax has been around for a long time and has mostly affected cows and domesticated Activists want peace By Curie Veronica Jones Staff writer A group from Loyola heads to Washington, D. C. to leap into controversy Thirteen people from Loyola went to Washington, D.C. to represent Louisiana during a weekend of protests, carrying signs that read "Stop the USA, Stop the Monster" and "Louisiana says no to war." Students who participated in the protests showed live video coverage of the event at a meeting on campus last Friday. Thirty-two people attended the meeting. "The people who went to the demonstration were courageous. It's easier to fall into the masses, into an inflamed mass of emotional people," said John Clark, professor at City College and faculty adviser to the Loyola Greens club. According to The Washington Post, more than 7,000 people from around the world attended the protests. Some held signs that read "Amerika get a clue, people around the world hate you!" "Our government is run by terrorists. I consider that profoundly evil." Clark said. Some students who went to the protest said they were uneasy about how it would turn out. "I thought it would be pretty violent," said Kelly Stiles, A'oo. Students said, however, that the protests were mostly peaceful, though security was tight. Tanks and armed guards carrying tear gas blocked exits during the protests, preventing any of the protestors from leaving the area. The students at the meeting said people were forced to make their own bathrooms along the sides of the streets as they were locked in for hours. The video showed protestors with gas masks breaking through the police amid cries of "Whose streets? Our streets!" and "F — Taliban, F right here!" from people in the crowd. PROTESTOR FOR PEACE E.P. Menon, a man who walked from New Delhi to Hiroshima during a three-year time period promoting peace, was at the protest meeting Oct. 5.

DONALDSON Protesters walk through the streets of Washington, D.C. with signs encouraging peace. A group of faculty and students from Loyola joined them Sept. 29 and 30 to protest U.S. military action. PHOTO BY WILL R DONALDSON Armed guards watch over a protestor at a rally in Washington, D.C. Guards carried tear gas and blocked exits to prevent protestors from leaving. Opinions vary about U.S. attacks By Ellen Pivach News Editor "I don't think we have much choice. You can't' just sit back and have thousands ot people be slaughtered." - EDWARD RENWICK, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE On the United States' attacks on Afghanistan. In the wake of continuing attacks on Afghanistan by the United States, the country remains relatively calm. At Loyola, opinions vary as to whether the United States is doing the right thing. "You have to get back at the people who did it," said Edward Renwick, associate professor of political science. The U.S. military began dropping bombs near Kandahar, the ruling militia headquarters of the Taliban, on Sunday, Oct. 7. Since the U.S. attacks began, both faculty and students have reacted to America's retaliation for the Sept. II attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. According to Renwick, the United States can do only so much in response to the terrorist attacks. "1 don't think we have much choice. You can't just sit back and have thousands of people be slaughtered," Renwick said. Some students disagreed and said they do not feel the response of the United States is necessarily appropriate. "I'm against it. I don't agree with innocent people dying, but I do think the terrorists need to be punished," said Paul Roney, general studies sophomore. U.S. officials have repeatedly stated that the attacks on Afghanistan are not aimed at civilians. In keeping with this goal, U.S. military dropped more than 35.000 food packets on Monday for civilians in the bombed areas. Each packet had writing on it saying. "This food is a gift from the United States of America." Some students said they think it is important that the United States drop food boxes for civilians of Afghanistan. "Yes, I do |agree with the food packets|, but I think it is a conflicting idea," said Shari Wilson, English writing junior. "It's not moral to feed the people we are bombing." According to a statement issued by the United States Conference of Catholic- Bishops, the Church renews its "call that our military response must be guided by the traditional moral limits on the use of force.

House Jet Purchase Opposed
"Bipartisan opposition is emerging in the Senate to a plan by House lawmakers to spend $550 million for additional passenger jets for senior government officials," the Wall Street Journal reported on August 10. The move to upgrade the government's fleet of jets was included in a defense-spending bill, but the Pentagon has said it doesn't need half of the new craft.
Regulations Trap Airline Passengers
The 47 passengers aboard Continental Express Flight 2816 flying from Houston to Minneapolis expected their flight to last about two-and-one-half hours. But severe weather and an equally severe enforcement of federal regulations caused their flight to take about 12 hours, including a six-hour stretch trapped in the plane as it sat 50 yards from the terminal.
U.S. Postal Service May Close Offices
According to an August 3 AP story, the U.S. Postal Service is considering closing offices and consolidating services throughout the nation.
Bureau Says It Will Improve Census Accuracy
USA Today reported on July 27 that the U.S. Census Bureau is taking steps to ensure the accuracy of the next census in 2010. The need was highlighted when a review of the last census in 2000 showed that the count was too high for the first time in history.
Supreme Court Rules for Firefighters
The Supreme Court ruled on June 29 that New Haven, Connecticut, discriminated against white and Hispanic firefighters by disregarding test results that would have resulted in their promotion.
Obama's Walpin Firing Tip of the Iceberg
As previously reported by The New American on June 12, President Barack Obama has fired Gerald Walpin, the inspector general who found out that Americorps funds were being misused at Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson's St. HOPE Academy. Administration officials tried to strong arm Walpin into leaving quietly, but he would not acquiesce. Obama then claimed that he had lost confidence in Walpin and dismissed him, not even caring that it gave the appearance of punishing Walpin for catching a big Obama supporter in wrongdoing.

Illegal Lottery Scams - How to Protect Yourself
Using well-respected names in the lottery industry and promises of multi-million-dollar prizes, lottery scams are ever-present. In fact, an online survey conducted by the Louisiana Lottery revealed that 72 percent of players had received an illegal lottery scam prize notification in the last year.Using telephone calls, e-mails and letters originating outside of the continental U.S., scammers promise players cash and prizes. Players are instructed to pay a fee before claiming any cash or prizes. To sound official, these solicitations often contain special coupon or reference numbers and utilize the names of popular lottery games like Powerball and Mega Millions. "Because players have caught on to the fact that you need a ticket in order to win a prize, scams may even ask for a ticket number as part of claiming the bogus prize and suggests that the win is based on your purchase of a ticket," said Louisiana Lottery Communications Manager Kimberly Chopin. Similar scams using other well-known or official-sounding names, such as BMW, Coca-Cola or the "European Lottery," have surfaced across the county, including a mail-based scam that includes a bogus check to supposedly cover the costs of claiming the prize. In these types of scams, the recipient is instructed to wire money to cover the insurance, taxes or other related prize payment costs, which the recipient figures should be more than covered by the check they received. But that isn't how it works. "The check bounces and the scammer makes off with your real money," explained Chopin. Tip-Off to the Rip-OffSo how can you tell if a prize notification is a scam? Here are basic red flags:1. The notification asks you to keep your "winnings" a secret. This ploy is to keep you from sharing the information with family members who may help you realize that it's a scam.2. You haven't purchased a ticket for the particular game or entered the particular drawing in which the prize was won. Every legitimate lottery business model requires the payment of prizes from funds collected through the sale of tickets. Even the IRS only issues refunds based on taxes already paid! Ask yourself, where did the funds come from in order to pay this prize? Did I physically enter this drawing? Remember, there is no such thing as free money.3. You are asked to make up-front payments of processing fees, taxes or insurance in order to collect the winnings. This is the foundation upon which all scams are based. No legitimate lottery will ever require up-front payment of any kind from winners to claim a prize. Any withholdings, such as taxes, owed by the winner are deducted from the prize funds. 4. You are guaranteed that you will win a prize if you pay to join a pool. Legitimate lotteries do not require that players join a pool in order to play. Also, legitimate lotteries cannot guarantee that your ticket will win a prize. Even if there was a way to "fix the system" in order to win, this would be illegal and you would be participating in a serious crime!5. You are asked to communicate by phone, mail or e-mail with an overseas entity in order to claim the prize. Gambling across state lines through the Internet, phone or mail is illegal for a reason- to protect U.S. consumers. Scam artists that set up shop overseas are more difficult to prosecute. Also, online gambling companies are not regulated and often sell their customer lists to others, including scammers. "The bottom line is that if it seems too good to be true, it most likely is," said Chopin. "With identity theft on the rise, players should never give credit cards, social security numbers, bank account numbers or other personal information to anyone promising a lottery prize.Lottery Winner Notification ProceduresThe vast majority of legitimate jurisdictional lotteries, including the Louisiana Lottery, do not know the names of prize winners until they claim their winning ticket. For this reason, the Lottery will NEVER contact game prize winners directly. Prize winners know that they've won from their ticket-NOT through an e-mail, letter or phone call. The two exceptions are second-chance drawings and online promotions for Club Lotteaux members, Facebook fans and Twitter followers, in which players have given the Lottery their contact information as part of their entries. In these instances, winners may be contacted by phone and registered mail by the Lottery, but will NEVER be required to pay anything in advance to collect their prize. "Our Lottery claim form does request a social security number which is needed for prizes greater than $600 to be reported for tax purposes," explained Chopin. "But most people either present the form in person or mail it to the Lottery's address which can easily be confirmed over the Internet or phone book."As the prevalence of e-mail communication continues to grow, so will the number and frequency of e-mail scams, including those promising lottery winnings. And it's a profitable venture. In the Lottery's survey on illegal Lottery scams, seven respondents admitted to having been victimized, with one losing $2,800 in hopes of collecting $150,000 and another out $3,000. Nationwide, the Federal Trade Commission estimates consumers are losing about $120 million on these types of scams each year. The best advice is to hang up the phone, hit the delete button or throw away the phony prize letter. Players can also report suspected scams to the Louisiana Attorney General's Office which has set up a special division to pursue these criminals. (Listed below are a few sites that post scam information.)The Lottery also produces a brochure entitled "How to Avoid Lottery Scams," which describes tactics used by scam artists operating illegal lotteries. Copies are available in Lottery play centers at retailers statewide or by downloading below.

Network Budgets Continue to Grow
NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TheInfoPro, a service of 451 Research, released its latest network technology study, indicating a strong budget for network projects in 2013 and 2014. Security returns to the top of the list of network manager 'pain points,' with aging hardware dropping from first place in the previous Wave study to fifth place in 2013.
Conducted earlier in 2013, TheInfoPro study identifies key initiatives of senior networking managers, including market factors and major players. This annual study is based on extensive live interviews with technology professionals and primary decision-makers at large and midsize enterprises in North America and Europe.
Daniel Kennedy, Research Director and report author, noted several other key trends from the TheInfoPro Network Study:

2011 Player Profile: Nick Swisher
January 25th, 2011 | by Ray Flowers |I admit it, I'm jealous of Nick Swisher. Not only is he a professional baseball player who is making millions of dollars (roughly $26 million by the end of the 2011 season), but he recently wed the beautiful JoAnna Garcia. Obviously he enjoys life, and every time you see the guy he seems to have a smile on his face. He also brought a smile to his fantasy owner's faces last year as he set a career best with a .288 batting average while hitting 29 homers with 89 RBI and 91 runs scored for the Yankees. Can he repeat that effort in 2011?
The first issue that we need to deal with is that batting average of .288. Point blank, he will not repeat it in 2011. Let me count the ways.
(1) His career batting average before last season was .245 (even now it's just .252).
(2) In his previous five full seasons Swisher had hit .260 just one time at .262 in 2007.
(3) He vastly exceeded his career average against both righties and lefties last season.
2010: .285 vs. righties, .294 vs. lefties
Career: .249 vs. righties, .260 vs. lefties.
Wait you say, that just proves he finally figured "it" out last season. Here is my reply to that line of thought – bull. Here's why.
Swisher had a 19.6 line drive rate last season, the second best mark of his career and a percentage point clear of his career rate. Basically it was a strong performance for Swisher, but nothing outstanding to prove that he can sustain that .288 mark.
Swisher had a BABIP mark of .335 last season, and this is where the rubber hits the road. First, Swisher had only once in five previous seasons posted a mark of .300 and that was .301 in 2007. Second, Swisher owns a career .286 mark. Add points one and two together and it's pretty darn obvious that his .335 mark was an outlier that will not be repeated.
Swisher, always one to take a walk, saw his walk rate plummet last season. In his career, Swisher has worked a walk in 13.2 percent of his career plate appearances. From 2006-09 that number was at least 13.9 percent each season. Care to guess what the mark was last year? Try 9.1 percent. It makes little sense that he walked less and saw his batting average increase. Maybe he also cut his strikeouts? Nope. Swisher struck out 24.6 percent off the time, less than a percentage point off his career mark of 25.3 percent. The result was a career worst BB/K rate of 0.42, a mark that was only 2/3 of his career rate (0.62).
Add that all up and it's pretty clear that you should draft Swisher in 2011 expecting his .252 career average and not the strong .288 mark he sported last season.
There is also some concern about his counting numbers. I'm not raising the white flag of surrender by any means, but the fact that his walk rate plummeted last season is a concern. If he once again fails to draw walks, and his hit rate returns to "normal" and with it his batting average drops, Swisher won't be able to match his career OBP of .358. If that happens his runs scored mark will likely fall. In his defense he has scored at least 80 runs in each of the past five years, so he usually figures out a way to score no matter what is going on.
Swisher is also a solid run producer having knocked in at least 74 runners in five of the past six years (he had 69 RBI in 2008), and his performance in this respect should remain stable in a loaded Yankees lineup. Oh, and don't worry about the homer totals, though that should be obvious at this point. Swisher has hit at least 21-homers each of his six healthy seasons, has had a fly ball rate of at least 44 percent each of the past five years, and has posted a HR/F ratio of at least 14.8 percent each of the past three seasons.
I'm not going to put out actual number projections for 2011 for Swisher, I think projections are too variable to have a ton of value to be honest, but I'd look for him to return to his career level in batting average while continuing the trend that has seen him hit 24 homers in four of five seasons. He's also knocked in 80-runs each of the past two years while scoring more than 80 in 5-straight, so with that you have your baseline of what to expect in 2011.

I don't know if anything like this has been posted before, and I wasn't sure which forum to put it in. Anyway, I was thinking about color names- like Indigo, Violet, Burgundy, Magenta. So I found a list of colors online, and here are my top 20. Not all of them are exactly names, but tell me what you think, any variations you have, and add more to my list! I'm also trying to make the not-so-name ones (like firebrick) into names:
4. Indian Red
6. White Smoke
7. Firebrick
12. Chiffon
13. Cadmium
15. Almond
16.Navajo White
17. Raw Sienna
18. Sepia
19. Burnt Umber
20. Misty Rose

There have been times that I have looked up Crayola names just to see if anything was usable. Just like week, I was considering Cadmium, but not sure how it will adjust from a baby-child-teen-adult-senior.
From you not so-names, I actually like Misty Rose. IMHO, the names like White Smoke, has no appeal.
Burgundy, is normal for me, since I have a cousin by that name. I also know some named, Champagne--I think that is a color too. One of our regular Sub. Teacher's, named her daughter...wait for it...Tangerine. That was really new to me.
I have known/heard of people that went by a color as their nickame: Green, Black/Blackie, Cocoa, Red, Pink/Pinky, White/Whitie, Brown/Brownie...etc.Last edited by natural; April 1st, 2013 at 10:11 AM.

My favourite colour names:
Hazel - Would absolutely use, as a FN.
Lilac - MN only.
Kelly - I like it best on a boy but that ship has probably sailed.
Forest - I like this on a boy but I don't like the idea of "run Forest!" being shrieked after him all the time, even if it isn't Forrest.
Indigo - favourite of my husband's but I don't like it that much.
Violet - Love.
Celeste, Celestial - I think its pretty, my husband says "if the baby is born herbal tea...?"
Peridot - Love it for a girl's MN.
Cerise - A whole lot better than Cherry or Plum, though I know Plum has its fans.
Amaranth - Amarantha is prettier but less directly the colour.
Carmine - Love this, very manly, but probably too Italian for our family to pull off convincingly.
Cordovan - For a boy.
Dove - I like Dove as a MN for a girl, but I wouldn't use Dove Grey.

Keegan Bradley '08CPS certainly hasn't forgotten his roots. Photo gallery The winner of the 2011 PGA Championship took time out of his busy schedule to visit with alumni and friends after a practice Pro-Am round at the Bethpage Black Course, in anticipation of this past weekend's BARCLAYS tournament.
"I really enjoyed my time at St. John's," Bradley said. "Any time I can meet with fellow alumni, it's always a great experience."Bradley generously posed for photos and signed autographs for all the guests, sharing stories about the PGA Tour and about his time playing for the Red Storm. In addition to claiming last year's Wanamaker Trophy, Bradley also won the 2011 HP Byron Nelson Championship and the 2012 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, earning 2011 Rookie of the Year honors and qualifying for the upcoming Ryder Cup. "I haven't been surprised by my success," Bradley said, "because I've worked very hard, and this is what I've always wanted to do. But it's been surprising how fast it all happened, the quickness of it all." Frank Darby '79CBA, Head Coach of the St. John's Men's Golf team, was in attendance and enjoyed mingling with Bradley and other alumni. "Keegan really loves St. John's," Darby said. "He enjoyed his experience at the University, and you can tell by the way he promotes us all the time that he's 100% in our corner." In addition to meeting Bradley, guests were able to watch the practice rounds of golf's biggest stars, including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
So what exactly is Mitt Romney is tax plan that's an interesting question -- reporters did over here the presidential candidate.
At a private fund raiser and he suggested a couple of things.
-- and that was at the wealthy could actually expect to pay more if he win this.
And that he would go after some big government agencies as well here's a quote of what was overheard according to these reports.
I'm not going to actually go through these one by one he said but what I can tell you is we've got far too many bureaucrats.
And I will send a lot of what happens in Washington.
Back to the states so let's bring -- -- them.
Mitt Romney senior advisor good morning -- you -- good to have you here.
Morning so you know let's not about the first -- -- in terms of the wealthy paying more.
How would that happen.
Well -- the governor said.
Two things none of which should be surprising to people who have been following his campaign the first is that there -- going to be cuts in government and with very few exceptions were going to be looking to combine agencies eliminate programs.
Pare back where appropriate in the second thing he said.
Is that in order to pay for his 20%.
Across the board.
Reduction in marginal tax rates we need to reform the tax code and one of the ways he's gonna reform the tax code.
Is looked at deductions and credits that flow to upper income taxpayers he mentioned a couple of possibilities.
If he becomes president we'll work in cooperation with the tax writing committees in congress to figure out exactly how we're gonna do it.
But but even as we lower tax rates for the very wealthy.
The burden of taxes that that they pay will remain the same.
So essentially -- -- you're talking about flattening out attacks and making the rules more sort of across the board for everybody -- that there be spirited actions.
Fewer loopholes all of those sorts of things.
Why not you know I get Twitter messages from so many people who say why won't -- -- back some form of flat tax why won't he.
-- ultimate.
-- -- legacy of flatter.
Tax system.
One of the ways that we're gonna achieve that is byte is by eliminating some of these deductions credits.
A particularly for upper income tax payers and we're gonna use this savings from that exercise.
To lower tax rates for all Americans across the board by 20% and by the way the governor doesn't stop there.
He also wants to lower our corporate tax rate to 25% unfortunately we now have the highest.
Corporate tax rate in in the country under under President Obama that hurts job growth is slowing down this economic recovery.
The governor would like to see corporate tax rates cut them as well.
Let's take a look at the favorability numbers these are for April 11 -- the fifteenth and they don't look so great -- for your candidate Mitt Romney at 35%.
In terms of how many people have a favorable opinion of him President Obama is at 56%.
And we know also from looking at the breakdown of men and women.
The numbers continue in this you know most recent round to look tough for your candidate especially with women.
Well give us a chance to run our campaign we have seven months ahead of us -- -- -- -- polling that's all over the place.
But look I you know today's tax day -- April 17 I don't think.
Eighty -- better illustrates the choice facing taxpayers there's nobody who after adding up everything nailed the government walks away from that process thinking.
You know we have to raise taxes yet on January 1.
If we don't make a change at the white house on January 1.
You're gonna see taxes go up by -- half trillion dollars is going to be the largest tax increase in American history these are the obamacare taxes that will take effect.
As well as the bush tax cuts expiring.
In Iran is president he'll make sure that those tax cuts don't expire -- repeal obamacare and all the.
Yeah a lot of folks think that that present a bottle when push comes to -- is going to want to leave this tax cuts in place as well.
Is that something that you folks will be pressing him on.
You know in the coming weeks and months would he indeed as he did before continue the bush tax that's.
Well look under under this president and his policies taxes have already increased he's raise taxes cigarette taxes he's raised.
Nineteen separate taxes as part of the obamacare legislation that that he signed into law his record is one of raising taxes now what's that.
Add a surcharge on upper income taxpayers need the so called.
A -- -- and yet we've found out just by looking behind the facts and details there.
That some revenue raised from from the so called Buffett rule.
We'll only find.
Barack Obama's spending for approximately eleven hours after it doesn't cut the deficit doesn't create a single job it's a political it's a political stunt its political that this isn't working at the moment very large support -- 72% does seem to be supportive.
That after all adjustment went down yesterday on capitol house -- -- because there thank you very much is get attacked yet.
Thank you.
