Date: Aug 28, 2011
These are beautifully done cards. I just loved the front of them. There is also plenty of room to write in all of your party information without it being too crowded. Most importantly my daughter loved these cards. She didn't want to let me send them to anyone, she wanted them all for herself!

We provide research-based programs and educational materials to help you understand the value of Nebraska's natural resources and the value of good stewardship to ensure sustainability of those resources. More information.
Fall Watering Aids Tree & Shrub Health
By Sarah Browning and John Fech, UNL Extension Horticulture Educators
Many homeowners haven't thought much about drought this year, however, conditions in Nebraska have ranged from abnormally dry to exceptional drought all year, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
In fall, warm dry days with cool nights usually lead to great fall leaf coloration, but dry late summer and fall conditions have a downside, too. Extremely dry conditions result in root death, and a corresponding death of branches and foliage. But perhaps more important, even moderately water-stressed plants are more susceptible to attack by secondary pests, such as insects or disease pathogens.
Mulch 101
By John C. Fech, UNL Extension Horticulture Educator, and ISA Certified Arborist
For many gardeners, applying mulch is standard procedure... like brushing your teeth. But before you jump the gun and mulch away,. it's important to survey your landscape needs. Instead of merely tossing bark nuggets to and fro, ask yourself the question, "Why do I want to mulch this flower garden, this strawberry patch, this veggie garden?" Think about moisture retention, weed suppression, cooling or warming the soil, and of course, its appearance.
Now Available
Water Wise: Drought Effects on Turf in the Landscape, G2191
Periods of drought can damage turfgrass. Through careful selection of turfgrass species and irrigation, turfgrass can remain healthy.
Water Wise: Managing Low-Capacity Private Drinking Water Wells During Drought, G2188
Groundwater from aquifers supplies almost all household water use in Nebraska's rural areas. When groundwater levels decline during a drought, efficient water use and good management of groundwater are particularly important.
Water Wise: Water Conservation In The Home, G2190

Myanmar's Rohingya population has been suffering greatly since sectarian violence broke out in the state of Rakhine, also known as Arakan, in June. The riots began with the alleged rape and murder of an ethnic Rakhine girl by men who were reportedly Muslim, triggering a backlash by Rakhine's Buddhist majority on the Rohingya, in the form of massacres and arson attacks on homes, mosques, and businesses.
Official reports from Myanmar's government have kept the death toll at about 80 since June, but estimates from rights groups say that hundreds, if not tens of thousands, have been killed, and the UNHCR estimates that 80,000 have been displaced, either internally or as refugees to Bangladesh and other countries.
Link TV's LinkAsia has covered the developments concerning the Rohingya since the unrest in June, but the plight of the Rohingyas has also garnered much attention in the Middle East, namely because the group suffering from persecution is historically Muslim. And although the violence in Rakhine State was targeted at Rohingyas, it was also directed towards Muslims in general.
Mosaic has focused on the Middle Eastern and Muslim angles of the conflict, such as Bangladesh's rejection of Rohingya refugees, protests by Iranian students in front of the UN office in Tehran, and the many demonstrations in Indonesia, where Muslim activists in Jakarta have called for Myanmar's suspension from ASEAN, the expulsion of the Myanmar ambassador from Jakarta, and more international action on the issue.
The Rohingyas have been considered foreigners in Myanmar for decades. In 1982, the government passed a law that effectively rendered them stateless. Myanmar considers the ethnic group of 800,000 to be British colonial-era illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, calling them "Bengali Muslims" in official releases. However, Bangladesh, a majority Muslim country itself, considers the Rohingyas to be Burmese, and has sent boatloads of refugees back to Myanmar, citing a dearth of resources. Bangladesh has also prevented humanitarian aid groups from continuing to work with the Rohingyas, fearing that the provisions would draw more refugees to the already-impoverished country.
Two of ASEAN's largest Muslim-majority countries, Indonesia and Malaysia, have offered to directly assist the Rohingyas. Indonesia, which boasts the largest Muslim population in the world, has also vowed to raise the topic of the Rohingya at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's next summit in Mecca next week. Saudi Arabia, which hosts the OIC and reportedly has a Rohingya population of hundreds of thousands, recently condemned Myanmar for what it called the Rohingyas' "ethnic cleansing," and the OIC's Turkish chief, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, has followed suit.
Unfortunately, countries and organizations willing to help are finding the refugees difficult to reach. Myanmar and Bangladesh have both restricted aid to their Rohingya populations, leaving the displaced people to fend for themselves. Some Burmese groups have skirted the issue by collecting money for the Rakhine "fire victims," without mentioning the sectarian violence that led to the fires. However, with a severe dearth of food and medical services, Rohingya refugees and internally displaced persons are currently struggling to survive. This scene is sadly all too similar to the persecution they have suffered for years, with a similar lack of international empathy.

The Raymi Bracelet is formed using deeply polished tagua seeds. Each bead has its own unique texture, that upon close examination, resemble water-soaked stones found in the bottom of the ocean. With its elastic cotton cord, one size fits all! The piece is handmade in Peru by Mujus.
Approximately 2.2" diameter. Mujus' signature material is the tagua seed, which comes from a palm tree that grows in Amazon rainforest. When ripe, the tagua fruit falls to the ground and is gathered and dried by local communities for a period of up to eight months, after which they become extremely hard and ivory-like. Since the seeds are harvested after they have fallen to the ground, there is no damage done to the rainforest during the harvesting process. As no two seeds are alike, each Mujus piece is unique.

Pick a number: redundancy pool of one was not unreasonable
An issue that comes up fairly regularly in redundancy selection is whether employers must consider all employees in similar roles or whether they can opt for a 'pool of one'.

Part4 - Down to Ocean
From Toda Tohge it's a straight shot out to the western coast of Usami, passing through Shuzenji. Losing 800m of elevation in 12km, down to Shuzenji is bitingly cold. With silky smooth tarmac and constant radium corners, it was supposed to be one of the highlights. Quick breathing, rigid body and numbing hands. Brake modulation is lost and bikes exit the corner at a wrong places.
Speed is lost instead of carrying through. As we approach sea level at Shuzenji we can feel the temperature rising quickly and by the time we reach the bottom we've all forgotten about the painful descent.
Somehow Seiichi is late to reach the bottom. He limps down with a ripped jacket and bibs and a broken fender mount. His rear wheel locked and he ended up kissing tarmac. As he picks himself up his heart is broken.
With no major injury, our sympathy soon switches to "come on let's go the sun is setting" haste. The sun was really starting to get low on the horizon, again. Temperature isn't plummeting like the Nagano mountains but we still have a big downhill to the ocean past the Kameishi Tohge, and with traffic and a cork screw descent, it is not the one to go down in darkness.
The cause of hitting the pavement was an unusual one and confused Seiichi. He climbs into the van. Disappointment, but we are not about to waste time to get him back on a bike that needs major adjustments. Perhaps camaraderie is shown with kind words but sometimes, for the Japanese, a bit of silent punishment is more effective, especially for the next ride. So we leave him behind. Next time he'll be tougher.
The climb up to the Kameishi Toghe travels past the Shuzenji Cycle Sport Center where the Keirin School is located along with various courses for racing road and mountain bikes. Vincent has memories here and is given plenty of time to recollect as he struggles straight up past the velodromes.
Separating the oncoming traffic are banked corners, literally finishing on the beach. The Kameishi descent is a true pleasure and Vincent is looking again like a fish thrown back into fresh water. Such an emotional roller coaster.
Back down on the coastal highway 135 where we started and back to Ito station, it's the only true flat sector of the ride. We finally benefit from Yuji's strong condition as he moves up to the front and pulls us at 48km/h to our arrival. Tonkatsu, a fried port cutlet, is the reward as we watch the last victory of the great Mongolian Yokozuna*, Asashoryu, on the TV screen.

"So I can't complain about feeling crappy. Over five hours on the bike and no idea how much further to go. The bio battery is running low, I see the others ride away and I'm barely turning the pedals over. I hate to keep them waiting but I just can't go any faster. Hooray onto the last climb. I was crawling along, thinking back to the day when I won the season opening race at the nearby cyclesports centre. I'd do anything for those legs of old. I rode off the front never ever looking back and beat the best of the time. First prize was a round trip to the Gold Coast Australia and there I came second in a race put on by the same organizer. Who won that day? Some young stud named Robbie."
- Vincent Flanagan
"We form a paceline as we head along the coast for the last clicks to the station. In those closing minutes the dark clouds which had hovered overhead all day finally snapped and let loose. Sweet rain mixed with sweat and I could only feel jubilation and euphoria mixed with fatigue."
- Vincent Flanagan

Photographer Joel Pickford Documents Hmong Refugees in 'Soul Calling'
Local photographer Joel Pickford's new book "Soul Calling: A Photographic Journey Through The Hmong Diaspora" is an intimate look into the world of the Hmong people.
The 256 page hardcover photo collection is the result of a five-year project that took Pickford around the world to document the saga of several thousand new Hmong refugees as they arrived in California from refugee camps in Thailand. Published by Heyday, the book is an intimate look into the world of the Hmong.
In this interview from Valley Public Radio's Valley Edition, Pickford tells host Juanita Stevenson about the process and inspiration behind this project, and about an upcoming exhibit of his work at the Fresno Art Museum, which opens on Friday, September 28, 2012 from 4:00-7:00 p.m.

The Panthéon (Latin: Pantheon from Greek Pantheon, meaning "Every god") is a building in the Latin Quarter in Paris, containing the remains of distinguished French citizens. It is an early example of neoclassicism, with a façade modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, surmounted by a dome that owes some of its character to Bramante's "Tempietto".

The actuarial science program at Robert Morris University prepares students for careers as actuaries, which was named a top-ranked job in the latest edition Jobs Rated Almanac based on criteria such as security, stress, compensation, and future prospects. The Wall Street Journal named actuary the best job in the nation in its 2010 list of best and worst jobs. An actuary is an expert in risk. Most actuaries are employed by either insurance companies or human resource consulting firms, where they design health and retirement benefit plans. The major is highly interdisciplinary in content, requiring courses in general mathematics, statistics, actuarial mathematics, business, economics, and finance. RMU was one of the first 10 universities in the United States to be designated a Center of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries.
In the past six editions of the Jobs Rated Almanac, actuary has never been rated lower than fourth. The editors compile statistics on 250 occupations and rank them based on six key criteria: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands, security, and stress. The data comes from government sources, such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as studies from trade associations and industry groups.
Actuaries are responsible for determining rates and premiums on insurance policies (e.g. life, health, home, and auto) and forecasting future events affecting the soundness of insurance programs. Some actuaries work with consulting firms as advisors to corporations regarding human resource and pension benefits. Government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration or insurance regulatory boards, also employ actuaries. Actuaries can specialize in life and health insurance, in property and casualty insurance, or in pension benefit programs. Half of all certified actuaries work for insurance companies, one third for independent consulting companies, and the remainder in education and government.
Compensation depends on experience, employment location and the number of exams passed. The average starting salary is approximately $58,000. The salary growth potential for the actuarial profession is one of the highest available. For example, Fellows of the Society of Actuaries with 15 years of experience often earn in excess of $250,000 annually. For more detailed salary and compensation information, visit www.dwsimpson.com/salary.html.

RMU's actuarial science curriculum is specifically designed to prepare students for the first five professional actuarial exams, jointly administered by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS). There are fewer than 60 such programs in the United States. Several leading national actuarial employers have offices in Pittsburgh. They include Towers Perrin, Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Buck Consultants and Highmark Insurance. Many RMU students attain highly paid summer or school-year internships with these companies.
Each year, RMU holds an Actuarial Science Career Day, when students have the opportunity to network with dozens of local and national employers specifically interested in hiring actuaries. Recent participants include Aetna, Erie Insurance, Highmark Inc., Humana Inc., Mercer Human Resource Consulting, and UPMC.
RMU's campus sits upon 230 scenic, rolling acres in Moon Township, Pa. Our spacious grounds give you all the benefits of a traditional university campus, while being just a short drive from the airport and downtown Pittsburgh. We have recently renovated our classroom facilities, including technology upgrades, as well as our residence halls. This fall we are opening a new School of Business building and a new apartment-style residence hall, Peter Salem Hall.
The School of Engineering, Mathematics, and Science unites faculty members from diverse disciplines and provides opportunies for collaboration in teaching and research between faculty and students. We provide students with real-world experiences that give them the skills they need to compete in the job market. The results show: a 96% job placement rate for our graduates. We emphasize a global curriculum and have a diverse student and faculty body. We make sure our students are engaged citizens of the globe and experienced professionals in sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
There are several special scholarship opportunities available for actuarial science majors. These include an annual full-tuition scholarship for an academically eligible minority student.
Scholarships are available based upon academic achievement.
For freshmen, high school grade point average and ACT/SAT scores are used. For transfer students, the cumulative grade point average of all college courses is used. Scholarships range from $1000 per year up to full tuition. (To calculate your scholarship eligibility, click here.)
Higher education is an investment in your future.
At Robert Morris University, we will work closely with you to show you how to finance your education through a combination of need-based financial aid, scholarships, and financing strategies to make your education attainable. RMU has one of the lowest tuition rates of all private institutions in the state, but we know that financing your education can be complicated, and your family might need help in understanding your options.

The book I am reading now is called Best Friends for Never. I like this book because some of the characters and I have some characteristics in common to each other. The book is also very entertaining. A reason I don't like the book is because some of the character's actions in it influence me in a bad way. Best Friends for Never is by Lisi Harrison.

Hofstra University Department of English Announces Fall 2011 Launch of An M.F.A. in Creative Writing
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Hofstra University's Department of English is offering an M.F.A. degree in Creative Writing starting in the fall 2011. This new graduate program will offer a challenging and exciting program of study integrating literary scholarship and focused instruction in writing. Students may concentrate in dramatic writing, fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, exploring the art and craft of writing while grounding themselves in the rich literary traditions that offer exemplary models of these forms. The course of study concludes with a yearlong creative project.
The M.F.A. is considered a terminal degree – appropriate for those who want to pursue specific writing disciplines and/or careers in publishing, teaching, and editing, among others.
Admission requirements include:
• Successful completion of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university with an overall G.P.A. of at least 3.0.
• Twelve (12) semester hours of advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in literature with a grade of B or better. Motivated students who have concentrated in other disciplines will also be considered on the strength of their application.
• A creative writing portfolio of no more than 30 pages of original work to be evaluated by creative writing faculty.
• A personal statement describing the student's rationale for applying, as well as the student's interests and literary influences.
• At least two and no more than three letters of recommendation.
Core faculty in the program includes:
Erik Brogger, a founding member of The Playwrights' Center, a national organization devoted to developing new dramatic work. His plays, which have been produced off-Broadway and in major regional theaters throughout the country, include A Normal Life, Strangers' Ground, and The Paranormal Review. His recent plays include Dreaming in the Crescent City and River Road; the former was presented as a staged reading at The Ensemble Studio Theatre.
Phillis Levin, the author of four books of poetry – Temples and Fields, The Afterimage, Mercury, and May Day – and the editor of The Penguin Book of the Sonnet (2001). Professor Levin's honors include the Poetry Society of America's Norma Farber First Book Award, an Ingram Merrill grant, a Fulbright Scholar Award to Slovenia, The Amy Lowell Poetry Travelling Scholarship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a 2007 National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.
Phillip Lopate, a central figure in the recent revival of the personal essay and the author of Portrait of My Body, Against Joie de Vivre, Bachelorhood, The Rug Merchant, Being with Children, Totally Tenderly Tragically, Two Marriages: Novellas, and Notes on Sontag. He is also the editor of The Art of the Personal Essay, Writing New York: A Literary Anthology, and American Movie Critics: From the Silents Until Now. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a New York Public Library Fellowship, and two National Endowment for the Arts grants.
Julia Markus, who received the Houghton Mifflin Literary Award for her first novel, Uncle, which was followed by three well-received novels, American Rose, Friends Along the Way, and A Change of Luck, as well as her critically acclaimed biographies, Dared and Done: The Marriage of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning and Across An Untried Sea: Discovering Lives Hidden in the Shadow of Convention and Time. She has won a National Endowment for the Arts grant and two National Endowment for the Humanities grants. Her most recent book is J. Anthony Froude: The Last Undiscovered Great Victorian.
Martha McPhee, the author of the novels Bright Angel Time, Gorgeous Lies, L'America, and, most recently, Dear Money (2010). She is the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. In 2002 she was nominated for a National Book Award.
Additional undergraduate and graduate faculty includes (fiction and nonfiction) Zachary Lazar, Bill McGee, and Paul Zimmerman; (poetry) Deborah Bernhardt, Robert Plath, and Connie Roberts; and (playwriting) Richard Pioreck and Paul Zimmerman.

"Magic" Herbal Herpes Remedy Studied By Kenyan Researchers
Tuesday, March 29th, 2011A "magic" herb, Carissa Edulis, that drew thousands of people to a remote Loliondo village in Tanzania was identified by Kenyan scientists a few years ago as a cure for a drug-resistant strain of a sexually transmitted disease, gonorrhoea. This herb also is believed to cure many other diseases besides gonorrhoea. The Kamba refer to as mukawa or mutote and use it for chest pains, while the Nandi boil the leaves and bark to treat breast cancer, headache and chest pains.
Researchers discovered the plant could be used for the treatment of the herpes virus. Led by Dr Festus M Tolo of the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri), the team from the University of Nairobi and the National Museums of Kenya found the herb could provide an alternative remedy for herpes infections.
"An extract preparation from the roots of Carissa edulis, a medicinal plant locally growing in Kenya, has exhibited remarkable anti-herpes virus activity for both wild type and drug resistant strains," they reported in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology.

Movie reviews
The following are capsule reviews of movies recently reviewed by Catholic News Service.
Dr. Seuss' The Lorax (Universal)
Theodore Geisel's beloved 1971 children's book is brought to the big screen by director Chris Renaud in a 3-D animated adventure that expands the original story while retaining its central message about the responsible stewardship of natural resources. Raised in a town where everything is artificial, a teen (voice of Zac Efron) sets out to win the girl of his dreams (voice of Taylor Swift) by fulfilling her wish to see a real, live tree. His quest leads him to the recluse (voice of Ed Helms) whose unbridled greed and ambition long ago caused the environmental disaster --- an outcome predicted in the dire warnings of the title character (voice of Danny DeVito), the enlightened but curmudgeonly guardian of the forest. First-rate animation and catchy songs forward the theme of respect for God's creation and make this an enjoyable outing for the entire family. Some cartoonish action. (A-I, PG)
John Carter (Disney)
Ambitious and largely successful 3-D adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' first novel propels a 19th-century American (Taylor Kitsch) to the planet Mars, where he becomes embroiled in a war between two city-states and falls in love with a princess (Lynn Collins). Despite an unwieldy and illogical mash-up of now-familiar sci-fi tropes, director Andrew Stanton nicely brings the narrative together in the end. Obstacles along the way include a rather bland star, a protracted running time, and less-than-scintillating dialogue. Yet the epic marries the appeal of a pulp serial with cutting-edge filmmaking techniques. Likely best for older teens and up. Considerable, sometimes intense, action violence, scenes of cruelty, fleeting toilet humor, at least one use of profanity and several instances of crass language. (A-II, PG-13)
Project X (Warner Bros.)
Desperate to become popular, and to have animalistic sex with random strangers, three Los Angeles teens (Thomas Mann, Oliver Cooper and Jonathan Daniel Brown) throw a decadent party that eventually morphs into a destructive riot. More troubling than mere trash, and pornographic in a way that goes well beyond its frequent displays of flesh, Nima Nourizadeh's would-be comedy --- a portrait of soulless, over-privileged zombies wandering a world of sterile secularism, enslaved by their basest passions --- is, in reality, grotesquely tragic. Perverted values; strong sexual content, including voyeurism, underage casual sex and same-sex kissing as well as upper female and rear nudity; drug use; a few instances of profanity; pervasive rough and crude language. (O, R)
Silent House (Open Road)
Cinematic fixer-upper in which a young girl (Elizabeth Olsen) is chased around the conveniently dark --- and apparently haunted --- summer house that she's helping her father (Adam Trese) and creepy uncle (Eric Sheffer Stevens) clean out in preparation for selling it. Part horror flick, part psychodrama, co-directors Christopher Kentis and Laura Lau's low-budget remake of a similarly down-market Uruguayan film called "La Casa Muda" ends up being a satisfying representative of neither genre. A gritty subtext, moreover, renders it appropriate fare only for mature adults. References to incestuous sexual abuse, some mildly gory images, implied physical violence and fleeting rough and profane language. (A-III, R)
Catholic News Service classifications: A-I ---- general patronage; A-II ---- adults and adolescents; A-III ---- adults; L ---- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling; O ---- morally offensive. Full-length reviews: www.catholicnews.com/movies.htm.
