'''Fort Valley State University''' ('''FVSU''') is a [[Historically black colleges and universities|historically black university]] (HBCU) located in [[Fort Valley, Georgia]]. It is also a unit of the [[University System of Georgia]] and a member school of the [[Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund]]. Fort Valley is approximately {{convert|100|mi|km}} south of [[Atlanta]], 25 miles (40 km) south of [[Macon, Georgia|Macon]],18 miles (28 km) west of [[Warner Robins]], and 15 miles (24 km) north of [[Perry, Georgia|Perry]]. As the only 1890 [[land-grant university]] in Georgia, Fort Valley State University is a comprehensive institution that provides an education to over 4,000 students. The student body is currently approximately 91% of African-American descent. The average age of undergraduates is 24 and the average age of graduates is 33. Roughly one-third of the students live on-campus and 85 percent of the student body are full-time students.The University is located in the town of Fort Valley in [[Peach County]], the original site of the nation's [[peach]] industry. Its 1,365 acre (5.52 km²) campus is the second-largest in area for a public university in the state. == History == [[Image:fortx.jpg|right|thumb|245px|Founders Hall]] Fort Valley State University (formerly Fort Valley State College) began with the 1939 consolidation of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School (chartered in 1895) and the State Teachers and Agricultural College of Forsyth (founded in 1902). The Fort Valley High and Industrial School, previously affiliated with the American Church Institute of the [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Protestant Episcopal Church]], was transferred to state control and operation. Under the agreement, the work formerly carried on at the State Teachers and Agricultural College was consolidated with the work at Fort Valley High and Industrial School to form the Fort Valley State College. In 1947 the state [[Board of Regents]] adopted a resolution moving the [[Land-grant university|Land-Grant]] designation from [[Savannah State University|Savannah State College]] to Fort Valley State College. In response to the Regents' resolution, in 1949 the Georgia General Assembly officially designated The Fort Valley State College as the Land-Grant College for Negroes in Georgia. (Public education was segregated.) In 1957, the college received full membership in the [[Southern Association of Colleges and Schools]], and was one of the first of the HBCUs admitted. {{Citation needed|date=May 2008}} The college was accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) (1971) and the American Association of Veterinary Medicine (1979).

[http://fvsu.edu/academics/agriculture] === Pettigrew Center === Named in the honor of the late former President Dr. C. W. Pettigrew who served from 1973–1980, The C.W. Pettigrew Farm and Community Life Center is a full-service conference, convention, and fine arts facility where unforgettable occasions are created. As an outreach program of Fort Valley State University === Anderson Museum and Welcome Center === The Anderson House is Fort Valley State University's oldest building and houses the Biggs Collection. The Museum and Welcome Center is located on the corner of University Drive and Wright Street, across from Saint Luke Episcopal Church. The Center provides an official reception area for visitors to the university. === About the Anderson House === Anderson House was the residence of F.W. Gano, one of Fort Valley State University's founders. It is the oldest facility on campus. Fort Valley State University historian, Dr. Donnie Bellamey, places the building's construction in the late 1800s. This colonial Dutch revival style was a popular architectural design for rural cottages of that era. The house was renovated in 1918 and served as the family home for principal Henry A. Hunt, President Horace Mann Bond, and President Cornelius V. Troup. It was named in memory of Benjamin S. Anderson, who served as Professor of Agriculture during the institution's early years. The main exhibits and displays come from the Biggs Collection of period furnishings, silver, glassware, china, quilts, linens and civil war memorabilia. The majority of the items date from about 1860 to 1900. The English Victorian furniture outfitted the parlor, dining room and bedrooms of an antebellum home in Box Springs, Georgia, which still stands today. The contents of the home were bequeathed by the plantation owner to Mr. Biggs' grandmother, who was a slave. The Smithsonian Institution sought to obtain the quilts and antiques for its permanent anthology of historical collectibles, according to Mr. Biggs. However, he chose to donate the entire collection to Fort Valley State University in 1991. == Student activities== FVSU students have several opportunities for extracurricular involvement at the university, including [[NCAA Division II]] intercollegiate athletics, [[marching band]], [[concert]] [[choir]], Baptist Student Union Choir, [[Forensics (public speaking)|forensics]] (intercollegiate speech and debate), and [[cheerleading]]. There are more than 70 clubs and chapters of major Greek-letter organizations and social organizations on campus. ===Student media=== FVSU also has a radio station (WFVS-LP 104.3 FM) and a television station (FVSU TV) as well as a college newspaper called, ''The Peachite''. ===Athletics=== [[Image:fvsufootball.jpg|thumb||left|200px]]Athletic opportunities include intramural sports and intercollegiate men's basketball, cross country, football, tennis, and track and field and women's basketball, cross country, softball, tennis, volleyball, and track and field. The school currently competes as a member of the [[Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference]]. ====Notable athletes==== In 1952, Fort Valley alumnus [[Catherine Hardy]] won a gold medal as a member of the winning 400-meter women's relay team at the Olympic Games at Helsinki, Finland. In 1969, the Fort Valley State football team set the modern-era record for most points scored against a college opponent, with 106 points against Knoxville College (Oct. 11, 1969).

When Rob Wise left the Marine Corps to join the Army a decade ago he may have looked forward to a better life, starting a family and receiving support from the people he worked for.
The Marines have been known to be less than accepting of new wives and fledgling families. I've met more than one soldier who left the Corps for the Army after hearing that if the Marines had wanted him to have a wife, it'd have issued him one. After all, the hard charging, oft-deployed life of a junior Marine can take its toll on girlfriends, wives, and troops alike.
That's worth mentioning because Andy-Lee Fry at The Leaf Chronicle in Clarksville, Tn., where Wise and his wife Ashley are stationed, tells a story all too common in the military—and Ashley's dedicated response.

Some Happy News!
Here is my card for CR84FN9:
The peach is always such a difficult color to find in my collection of inks and supplies. I think I was able to add a little in my roses. :)
Mini recipe:
Background: Stamp lightly Hero Arts - Old Letter Writing S4878 using Memento Rich Cocoa. Sponge edges using Ranger Distress Inks Antique Linen and Victorian Velvet.
Sponge doily edges with the same dye inks. Fold the doily and tie with ribbon accent with stick pin and charm.
The roses (Hero Arts - Rose Background CG179) took a little time. Stamp the rose background stamp using Versafine black pigment ink multiple times. Color using three different watercolor pencils (pink, peach, yellow) and a water brush. Color leaves using light tan watercolor pencil. Cut out the roses and leaves. Sponge around the edges with vintage photo dye ink. Accent with glitter. Arrange your bouquet of roses. :)
Stamp the lovely Verses Oh the Dances - RR0408 - C using Versafine Vintage Sepia and emboss using Zing Chestnut embossing powder.
The other stamps are Hero Arts - Rose Background CG179, Hero Arts - .
Here is the beautiful inspiration photos... Now you can see why I picked the roses to play with in my card.
The fabulous CR84FN design team includes:
Deborah Frings * Sue Lelli * Meredith MacRitchie * Andrea Matthews * Stephanie Kraft * Suzanne Czosek (me) * Heather Jensen * Mona Pendleton * Lisa Somerville
Hope you find time to play along with us. Read all the details here: CR84FN color challenge .

Design/build facade program including 350,000 sqft of unitized curtainwall, 2,150 prefabricated and pre-glazed units
This $1.5 billion skyscraper brings European charm and over 3,000 additional rooms to the Las Vegas Strip
The Venetian Las Vegas is the world's third largest hotel with over 3,000 rooms. Its 36-acre site includes over 500,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space and a half-million square feet of new convention space linked to the adjacent Sands Expo and Convention Center.
Constraint and adversity are often the mothers of invention. The high profile location on the heavily populated Vegas Strip challenged construction crews with limited access to the site. Enclos engineers, project managers and the site operations team put their heads together and conceived a highly efficient installation strategy that has set the standard for many projects to come. A custom unitized system was developed by the design team with oversized units spanning two entire floors. These double-span units were delivered on flatbed trailers on a just-in-time basis to support the site operation crews. The units were then hoisted from trailers two at a time, positioned and installed by the crews during graveyard shifts to keep the tower crane free for other trades throughout the day. This strategy has since been used on many projects by Enclos with significant improvements to project cost and schedule.

The U.S. Air Force has selected Raytheon for an initial contract of $886 million to develop a new element of the Global Positioning System to improve the accuracy of information from GPS satellites.
The contract represents the first two development blocks of the advanced control segment (OCX), which will have a significant impact on GPS capabilities. The OCX will include anti-jam capabilities and improved security, accuracy and reliability and will be based on a modern service-oriented architecture to integrate government and industry open-system standards.
"We are excited to partner with the Air Force to provide the best-value GPS control system for the future," said Lynn Dugle, president of Raytheon's Intelligence and Information Systems business.
"Raytheon's broad experience in delivering satellite-to-ground command-and-control systems will ensure that our nation's military and civil GPS users worldwide are provided new capabilities."
The OCX will dramatically affect GPS command, control and mission capabilities and make it easier for the operations team to run the current GPS block II and all future GPS satellites.
"Raytheon is proud to deliver innovative technologies to help the Air Force meet its mission of protecting GPS operational services," said Bob Canty, GPS vice president and program manager for Raytheon.
"The advanced control segment is a critical program for our nation's combat forces, coalition partners, as well as domestic and international civil users. By selecting Raytheon, the Air Force recognizes our experience and commitment to take GPS to the next level."
The GPS, a satellite-based radio navigation system for the military and the public, comprises three major segments: the user segment, the space segment and the control segment, which includes a master control station and ground antennas.
"The OCX concept was created to separate the control and space segments," Canty said. "Technologies were evolving so rapidly and were so critical to execution that specialized skills were needed. The GPS wing saw the same need for specialized expertise on GPS OCX."

WASHINGTON (AP) – It's called the Affordable Care Act, but President Barack Obama's health care law may turn out to be unaffordable for many low-wage workers, including employees at big chain restaurants, retail stores and hotels.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – It's time for workers around the country to think – really think – about health insurance.
Open enrollment has started for many employer-sponsored benefits plans that renew their coverage Jan. 1. Next year's plans may include free preventive care and other changes thanks to the health care law Congress passed earlier this year. They also are likely to come with a higher premium.

I was lucky enough to witness Tom Brady and the Patriots take on Peyton Manning and the Broncos in an epic QB clash Sunday evening, and what I saw was good for the Patriots.
And bad for the other 31 teams.
New England took a 24-point lead midway through the third quarter against Manning, Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil, Willis McGahee and the Broncos. Tom Brady played like Tom Brady, Stevan Ridley was running for big gains at will, and Wes Welker caught 13 passes for over 100 yards.
Yes, the Patriots only won the game by 10, and a pair of gaffes by McGahee aided their win. However, they looked pretty darn impressive throughout the game. Unlike Denver, New England established the run game early on and created a dominant two-dimensional offense that rocked Denver's defense. Stevan Ridley compiled 151 yards alone, while the Pats combined for over 250 yards on the ground.
Wes Welker caught 13 passes for over 100 yards and a touchdown, Brady snuck in for a touchdown (and followed that with his trademark spike) and before you knew it, Peyton Manning's talented crew trailed New England by 24.
Bill Belichick seemed to take a conservative approach late in the game, because his team had such a comfortable lead. The pass rush dominated, the run game worked, and Brady was efficient, as usual. The result? A crucial win that lit up the crowd and propelled the Patriots back to the class of the NFL.
Gillette Stadium was rocking, and the Patriots were dominating. They didn't even need Aaron Hernandez, the tight end who assists Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Brandon Lloyd and others in dominating defenses. If the passing game isn't working, they can always turn to Ridley, Brandon Bolden, Shane Vereen or Danny Woodhead.
Woodhead, who is probably the fourth-string running back, picked up a first down on third-and-17. When one running back is compiling good chunks of yardage, the Patriots kept handing it off to him and picking up yardage. This worked to perfection every time against an average defense and a great defensive line, which showed a lot about how dominant Brady's crew can be.
As long as the Patriots don't completely blow up, there is only a handful of teams that I think can beat New England. They now have a great running game to compliment a Hall of Fame quarterback,

Fresh plan to save children's heart surgery unit in Leeds
9:17am Wednesday 19th September 2012 in News By Richard Catton, Health reporter
THE loss of children's heart surgery services in our region could be avoided under a plan by the campaign group which is fighting the decision to move operations to Newcastle.
The Children's Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) is asking for a compromise which would see the unit at Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) stay open. The plan would also see a final decision delayed until April 2014.
CHSF director Sharon Cheng said: "We believe that the only way to ensure a truly safe and sustainable children's heart surgery service for children in our region is to maintain the unit at the General Infirmary in Leeds.
"This is centrally located for the population it serves; provides the ideal customer service model, with all associated medical and maternity services under one roof; and lies at the heart of a network regarded as 'excellent' by Professor Sir Ian Kennedy's independent expert panel."
While the CHSF is also considering mounting a legal battle to save Leeds, Miss Cheng said she wanted to avoid Newcastle losing its own heart surgery service, which could in turn lead to a legal challenge from the north-east.
She said: "The compromise has many advantages: it avoids the risk of costly judicial action from supporters of either unit, which could sink the review in its entirety.
"Leeds and Newcastle will have the opportunity to demonstrate their compliance with Safe and Sustainable standards.
"It shows the Government is listening to the concerns of patients and the public in Yorkshire and the Humber, and responding accordingly and it gives a clear message from the Department of Health that patient choice will come ahead of professional convenience and NHS politics." The proposal has now been sent to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, local charities and the group of Yorkshire MPs backing the fight to keep the LGI unit performing surgery.
Meanwhile, Safe and Sustainable, the NHS organisation which made the decision to move surgery from Leeds, said it was aware the CHSF was considering legal action.
A spokesman said: "Lawyers representing the Children's Heart Surgery Fund have taken the first steps in a judicial review by informing the JCPCT (Joint Committee of Pimrary Care Trusts) that legal action will be brought if the JCPCT does not agree to quash its decision by September 21.
"Since then we have received no further correspondence from the CHSF's lawyers. Our response to CHSF's lawyers will be issued in the next few days and will address the points raised by the CHSF following careful consideration."

Goodman (NZ) Limited, the manager of Goodman Property Trust is contented to declare the Trust's annual outcome for the year ended on March 31, 2012.

- Distributable income before tax of $80.9 million.
- Complete year cash distributions of 6.25 cents per unit.
- Renewed development impetus with the beginning of 7 novel projects offering up 49,615 sqm of net rentable region.
- Further refinancing movement with $132.0 million of bank facilities renewed and broadened at cutthroat margins.
- Sturdy leasing outcomes crosswise the investment collection with more than 155,000 sqm of space secured on novel or reviewed terms.
- Attaining an average tenancy pace of 96% over the period with a weighted average lease term of 5.4 years at 31 March 2012.
Result overview
It has been another victorious time for the Trust with the sturdy financial recital showing the quality of the underlying property range and the advantages of an energetic management approach.
Keith Smith, Chairman of Goodman (NZ) Limited, stated, "The Board and Management Team are pleased with the sound operating result that has been achieved. The 24.4% increase in profitability to $53.5 million and a 4.4% increase in pre-tax distributable earnings to $80.9 million are particularly satisfying given the sluggish operating conditions that have persisted."
The added income generated from the Trust's development programme and past acquirements are reflected in the 2.4% augmentation in net property income, to $111.3 million, and the 4.4% boost in distributable EBT.
A higher effectual tax rate in 2012 has contracted distributable income to $74.8 million.
The $3.8 million increase in profit to $40.5 million shows an enhanced assessment result this year, even though the Trust's portfolio still registered a 1.2% devaluation in general.
John Dakin, Chief Executive Officer of Goodman (NZ) Limited, said, "The performance of the investment portfolio is the main driver of the Trust's financial result and the property services team have worked hard in a highly competitive market to maintain its strong rental streams."
New service plans have heightened client satisfaction, assisting to maintain portfolio tenancy at 96%, well higher than the industry average. They have also assisted preserve the Trust's complete average lease term at 5.4 years, guaranteeing that rental streams are constricted well into the future.
Hopeful progress has been attained in the growth programme with about 50,000 sqm of novel projects declared during the year.
John Dakin said "Progressing our development programme and realising the value in our strategic land holdings is an important driver of future growth. It broadens the customer base and enhances the overall quality and value of the portfolio."
With rising levels of biz action likely to lift occupier demand by the next few years a greater level of design-build commitments are projected in 2013 and beyond.
Keith Smith said, "Equity issuance through the Distribution Reinvestment Plan has funded the growth of the development business while the bank refinancing has allowed us to take advantage of competitive rates that exist at present to extend the term of these facilities."
The Trust has always followed careful financial plans, typically equity funding novel chances.

LGBT Households Remain More Optimistic about FinancesPosted on 12/07/09 at 10:01am by Benzinga StaffWith Black Friday unofficially launching the holiday spending season and constant news coverage of the nation's economic health, a recent survey showed one-third (34%) of lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender (LGBT) adults sampled, when thinking about their household's financial condition, continue to say that they expect it to get better in the next 6 months, compared with just 17% of heterosexual adults. This is a significant increase from March 2009 when 25% of LGBT adults expected their household's financial condition to get better. In March a slightly higher 19% of heterosexual adults said that their situation would get better.The new nationwide survey of 2,516 U.S. adults, (ages 18 and over), of whom 338 self identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender, was conducted online between November 2 and 11, 2009, by Harris Interactive, a global market research and consulting firm, in conjunction with Witeck-Combs Communications, Inc., a strategic public relations and marketing communications firm with special expertise in the LGBT market.The survey also revealed that compared to what they spent last year on holiday gifts, 29% of LGBT adults plan to spend more. In comparison, only 9% of heterosexual adults plan to spend more........Figures for age, sex, race, education, region and income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. In addition, the results for the gay and lesbian sample were weighted separately based on profiles of the gay and lesbian population that Harris Interactive has compiled through many different online surveys. Propensity score weighting also was used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.....

LGBT Populatrion As A Percentage
Since the Kinsey Report, the benchmark percentage for the TBLG population to the total population has been 10%. In the following article, Harris Interactive and Witeck-Combs Communications, Inc. surveyed 2,516 US adults and 338 or 13.4% were self identified as Transgender, Bisexual, Lesbian or Gay.
It sure will be interesting to see the Lesbian and Gay results of the 2010 Census.
Of course, the 2010 Census has nothing to do with Transgender, Gender Identity or Bisexuals unless any of the afore mentioned respond to the 2010 Census as living in a same sex household.

This Pritikin-approved recipe comes to us from food blogger Anjali at Picky Eater, who is devoted to helping her spouse (a "white bread eating, fast-food-loving" guy) become a lover of healthy whole foods...
Writes Anjali:
It's no secret that I love oatmeal, and I'm always looking for ways to spice it up to make my breakfasts more interesting and fun.
I also like using oatmeal as a base to recreate some of my favorite sweet treats like Banana Bread Oatmeal and Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal. The possibilities really are endless.
So why not make oatmeal that tastes like you're eating a delicious, gooey, chocolate brownie?
Here is my recipe for Chocolate Brownie Oatmeal. I promise, you will love it. It is the most decadent healthy breakfast you'll ever eat! It tastes just like a chocolate brownie, but it's lightly sweetened and loaded with fiber. I eat it almost every day.
Think oatmeal is boring? You haven't tried Chef Anthony's lusciously sweet and tangy Oatmeal Supreme, always a favorite among guests at Pritikin.

Under the Radar
The inside story of a Pentagon deal that will cost taxpayers billions
By working so closely with Boeing, the Air Force put the competition at a disadvantage. In February 2002, the Air Force invited Boeing and the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. (EADS), the maker of Airbus, to compete for the lease deal. But by March, the Air Force concluded that the Airbus was too big and did not meet its requirements. EADS officials say they were never shown the full requirements.
This set the stage for another bit of intrigue: On July 1, Air Force official Darleen Druyun told Boeing "several times" that the price of the Airbus was $5 million to $17 million less than Boeing's 767. Investigators with the Senate Commerce committee now want to know if the disclosure of Airbus's price to Boeing was improper; the committee has provided documents it obtained from Boeing to the Pentagon's inspector general. EADS says the company considers all price information proprietary. "We furnished it in confidence," says a spokesperson. "We expected it to be protected." Druyun now works for Boeing. She failed to respond to repeated requests for comment, but Boeing says it did not receive proprietary information.
By September 2002, Boeing faced no competition within the defense industry; but it still faced criticism, particularly from Arizona Republican John McCain, the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. And McCain was of the opinion that the tanker lease was a bad deal for taxpayers and a sweetheart deal for Boeing. In particular, McCain wanted to know why the military needed the tankers now.
That's one reason the Air Force's Sambur was--as a Boeing executive put it in an E-mail--"desperately looking for the rationale for why the USAF should pursue the tanker 767 deal now." Boeing gave him the answer. A senior Boeing executive named Jim Albaugh sent a two-page memo to Sambur outlining how the existing fleet of Air Force tankers was old and increasingly unreliable. Sambur told U.S. News that Boeing executives misunderstood what he was asking for.
In October, the Air Force turned to Boeing again to explain why the plane was needed. Near the end of a meeting about the lease deal at the White House, Chief of Staff Andrew Card asked Air Force Secretary James Roche: "How many jobs does this create . . .?" The next day, Boeing forwarded the answer to the Air Force. Company lobbyist Andrew Ellis wrote that he hoped the "employment numbers below will provide you enough ammunition for the secretary to respond to the White House." Senator McCain says he is appalled that the Air Force relied so heavily on Boeing. "I've never seen such a continuous violation of every standard and norm," McCain says. "This close relationship with Boeing and the secretary of the Air Force was remarkable."
The tanker deal isn't like most projects, in which the military buys what it needs. It is structured as a lease because the Pentagon didn't have enough money to buy both new tankers and expensive new fighter planes. Boeing, for its part, didn't want to lease the planes directly to the Air Force--that would have put too much debt on its books. So the company and the Air Force plan to set up a "special purpose entity" to serve as middleman in the transaction. It will collect money from outside investors, use the funds to buy the planes, and then rent the tankers to the Air Force. The result: Boeing gets to book the sale it wants and the Air Force gets its lease.

NFL Draft: Top 3 Targets for 49ers
We are approaching the last game of the season and the 49ers can either end up in top 5 or top 10 depending on the outcome of the game this weekend. We figured we'd take a quick look at three prospects who we feel the 49ers should target. Of course it all depends on where they draft, but the areas of the help the 49ers need to address are QB, DB, and a Pass Rusher. If they draft around 10, the three names below may not be available.
Andrew Luck
Position: Quarterback
School: Stanford
Year: Third-Year Sophomore
Height: 6-4
Weight: 230
- Excellent arm strength
- Can make every NFL throw with accuracy
- Good mobility to slide around in the pocket and avoid the rush
- Good foot speed
- Throws well on the run
- Great mechanics
- Quick Release
- Excellent Field Vision
- Does a great job reading defenses and going through his progressions
- Plays with confidence and good leadership skills
- Experienced in a pro-style system
Bottom Line on Andrew Luck:
Andrew Luck has all the tools and intangibles to eventually develop into an elite NFL quarterback. He comes out of former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh's pro-style system, which makes him an even more attractive prospect because the transition to the NFL should be made a little smoother because of that experience. If there is a major weakness in his game, I've yet to see it.
Patrick Peterson
Position: Cornerback
School: LSU
Year: Junior
Height: 6-1
Weight: 220
- Great size for a corner
- Very strong, physical, and aggressive player
- Closes quickly on the ball and hits hard
- Fluid athlete with good change-of-direction skills
- His strength and physical play makes him very effective in press coverage
- Has long arms and excellent ball skills
- Displays good footwork and the ability to turn and run with opposing receivers
- Overall best shutdown corner in the nation
- Very physical in run support
- Has the added bonus of being a dangerous punt and kick return man
Bottom Line on Patrick Peterson:
Patrick Peterson, who could play cornerback or safety at the NFL level, has all the tools to develop into a shutdown cornerback in the NFL. He may be the best prospect at his position to come out of college since Darrelle Revis. He also has the added benefit of being able to contribute immediately in the return game.
Prince Amukamara
Position: Cornerback
School: Nebraska
Year: Senior
Height: 6-1
Weight: 205
- Good size and strength
- Good short-distance burst, recovers and closes quickly
- Great instincts, reads and reacts quickly
- Fluid hips to turn and run
- Smooth footwork
- Excellent in both man-to-man press and zone coverage
- Physical player and a solid tackler
- Aggressive against the run
- Good character
Bottom Line on Prince Amukamara:
Prince Amukamara is a fantastic athlete with the size and strength to match up with any receiver, and is one of the top defensive backs in the 2011 NFL Draft class. He has the tools to be a No. 1 corner in any defensive scheme and should have a lot of success in the NFL. He has a couple things he needs to work on, but overall is a great prospect.
End result is the 49ers need help at QB, DB, and a true pass rusher. If the players above are not available other names you'll likely seen thrown out are Cam Newton and Jake Locker.

As I got ready to take the girls out to the school bus this morning, Kallan stopped me as I headed into the bathroom. She needed help (again) with something she is perfectly capable of doing for herself. This time it was packing her backpack for school. She grew instantly annoyed as she watched me apply toothpaste to my toothbrush and not immediately do her bidding.
"What are you even doing?" she demanded testily.
Through a mouthful of toothpaste, I replied, "Listen, if I'm going to walk you out to the bus stop, you don't want me out there all sleep-faced and stinky waiting for the school-bus, do you?"
To which she responded with a nasty sneer and a sarcasm that seems somewhat advanced for 8, "If you are so worried about making a good impression with the neighbors, seems like you would have done something about your old lady hair by now."
So dyeing my hair to a single uniform color is on the list of things to do today.
Because I am all about the good first impression.
I remember a long time ago, the night before I was to start a job as a Psychology 101 Instructor (my very first time in front of a class), I was worried about making a good impression. I had all of my notes organized, my lecture prepared, my outfit picked out. And then, at some point in the evening, I walked into a window. The frame actually, on one of those crankable windows that open outwards and flush against the house if you open them all the way. But this one was not open all the way, but instead just far enough to catch me as I came around the corner unaware. Opening up a long deep gash along the top of my head.
Head wounds bleed a lot.
It clearly needed medical attention, and probably about 10 stitches. It was pretty bad.
But all I could envision was showing up in front of my very first class with a partly shaved head, fat black Frankenstein stitches running along my skull, and a huge bandage wrapped under my chin and over my head. No fucking way. So I didn't go to the doctor.
I showed up to teach my class the next day with a serious headache, a very strange hairstyle that I devised to cover up the large bloody matted section on the top of my head, and what my students must have thought was a strange nervous tic — I kept having to reach up to reassure myself that the wound hadn't reopened. What hadn't occurred to me was that most of my students (college freshmen) would be significantly taller than I was. As students came up to talk to me after class about registration issues, book purchases, and the class syllabus, I could see their faces change as they became aware that their brand new teacher was matted and bloody and potentially seriously mentally ill.
But no one said a word.
I was actually a very popular instructor. I think the prevailing wisdom was that I had been in a bar fight, which they thought was pretty awesome. I may or may not have been the one to put that idea out there.
If you run your hand along the top of my head (which I am not inviting you to do), you can still feel the scar. Which makes for interesting questions when I get my hair cut. I go with the bar fight thing.
Yes, I am all about making a good first impression.
I remember when Maj was set to start preschool. We didn't know any of the other kids in her class, so both Maj and I were excited about meeting new people and making new friends. It was a big deal.
Two days before Maj was to start school, I took the girls and our Labrador Persie to the park to play. The girls ran around and played while I walked Persie up and down along the sidewalk that wound through the adjacent hilly grassy area. At some point Kallan joined me and began to toss a tennis ball she had found for the dog. Just small throws, so the leashed dog was able to retrieve the ball each time with just a few steps. Persie was on one of those extendable leashes, so it was no big deal to let her prance off a few steps to get the thrown ball. Kallan was 2 years old, and not a very big thrower.
But then a few things happened all at once. Persie and I began to jog down the hill, the dog trotting happily ahead of me on her leash. Kallan stayed behind us at the top of the hill and (with surprising strength and accuracy) threw the tennis ball past both me and the dog. Which caught Persie's attention and triggered some hunting/retrieving instinct in her Labrador brain. The dog took off like a shot down the hill and quickly reached the end of her extendable leash.
If I had only let go of the leash. If only I hadn't been running down the hill and unable to stop my momentum. If only Kallan had thrown the ball up the hill instead of down the hill. It all would have been ok.
But instead I was taken down hard, into the sidewalk, face first.
It was a big deal. I went to the doctor this time. A mild concussion. Which wasn't so bad.
But hitting the sidewalk at top speed with your face is not a good idea. Because I felt and looked . . . well . . . hideous. I went to bed and tried to avoid mirrors.
When I awoke on the day of Maj's first day at preschool, almost 36 hours had passed, and I looked amazing. I had a huge fat lip, two purple-black eyes (one swollen shut), and cuts and scrapes all along the side of my face. But it was Maj's first day of school, and there was no way I was going to make her miss it because of my appearance.
As we arrived at the preschool, the moms (potential friends!) gathered round me, eager to find out what had happened to me. I should have gone with the bar fight. I could have gone with a car accident. But I opted to go with the truth, which, as I heard the words coming from my own fat lips, I realized sounded completely unbelievable.
And so I became the woman who told a ridiculous lie about being taken to the sidewalk by her two year old daughter and a friendly Labrador. The woman who was clearly in an abusive relationship with some sort of monster, and who had been beaten badly. I could see the pity and embarrassment and avoidance in their eyes.
I should have just pulled Maj out of that preschool right that moment and started anew somewhere else with the bar fight story. But no . . . we stuck it out for the entire year . . . the abused mom and her lovely oblivious daughters. Sigh.
Maybe I'm not as good at first impressions as I thought.
Because now I am remembering explaining to a new acquaintance at a friend's wedding that Mark and I had been "separated for a while." What I meant to do was introduce a self-congratulatory discussion about how I had been living in Davis, CA to attend law school while Mark stayed behind in San Diego to sell our house. But then I turned to talk to a waiter, my conversational partner turned to talk to someone else, and what I inadvertently accomplished was the announcement that our marriage was on the rocks. That bit of gossip spread through the wedding like wildfire.
And the time I scheduled a dental appointment a few hours before a meeting with a Scholastic Books representative at the girls' school. A dental appointment at which I had some weird 24-hour allergic reaction to the anesthetic, resulting in complete and total loss of muscle control over one side of my face. Which means that I sat across the table from the Scholastic Books guy that afternoon with one half of my face drooping down into my lap as though I had just suffered a stroke.
I should have stayed home that day. I know that now.
I need some hair dye.

World Hepatitis Day: Why Control the Hepatitis Epidemic
Why do we have to dedicate a day to promote Hepatitis? Simply because Asias and Africas populations are highly susceptible to the hepatitis virus, which is turning out to be the number one killer. World Health Organisation has established the 28th of July as Hepatitis Day to 'express concern about the lack of progress in prevention, control and treatment of viral hepatitis around the world. (Via)
Hepatitis affects the liver and is plagued by inflammatory cells. Without cure, it can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis. There are different kinds of hepatitis that we are familiar with: Hepatitis A, B and C. This year's theme for World Hepatitis Day is - 'It's closer than you think.' In India, there are several cases of Hepatitis B and C and reports reveal that 5 million people from South-East Asia will fall victim to this dreaded disease.
Besides Hepatitis A, B, C you can expect alcoholic hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, delta agent (hepatitis D) and drug-induced hepatitis. There are 40 million Indians who suffer from hepatitis and this number is likely to increase if we do not take precautionary measures. Precaution is better than cure, because hepatitis is an expensive disease.
Symptoms include breast development in males, weight loss, jaundice like symptoms, vomiting, tiredness, and loss of appetite. The sad part is that most Indians are tested for Hepatitis at a later stage. Unfortunately 'Vaccination is one of the strategies used to prevent hepatitis infection. Vaccines exist against hepatitis A and B. Effective candidate vaccines for hepatitis E prevention exist. Some progress has been shown in developing candidate vaccines against hepatitis C.' Hence this makes hepatitis a dangerous disease. (Via)

As mentioned earlier, metaethics deals not with the substantive content of ethical theories or moral judgments but rather with questions about their nature, such as the question whether moral judgments are objective or subjective. Among contemporary philosophers in English-speaking countries, those defending the objectivity of moral judgments have most often been intuitionists or naturalists; those taking a different view have held a variety of different positions, including subjectivism, relativism, emotivism, prescriptivism, expressivism, and projectivism. At first the scene was dominated by the intuitionists, whose leading representative was the English philosopher G.E. Moore (1873–1958). In his Principia Ethica (1903), Moore argued against what he called the "naturalistic fallacy" in ethics, by which he meant any attempt to define the word good in terms of some natural quality—i.e., a naturally occurring property or state, such as pleasure. (The label "naturalistic fallacy" is not apt, because Moore's argument applied equally well, as he acknowledged, to any attempt to define good in terms of something supernatural, such as "what God wills.") The "open-question argument," as it came to be known, was in fact used by Sidgwick and to some extent by the 18th-century ... (200 of 43,721 words)Metaethics

I am thankful for love, both received and given. Health, full bellies, and smiling faces everywhere. Hard-working men and women who make a difference in everyone's daily life. I am thankful for light and warmth. Life and every beautiful thing in it. And finally I am thankful for my family, friends, and job.
I am from Haiti, we do not celebrate Thanksgiving, but I think one of the most important things that lead to happiness is gratitude. What are you thankful for?

so, you may have noticed if you checked out the recipe that it was meant to make 12 jumbo muffins rather than twelve cupcake-sized muffins. after filling up my muffin pan i had enough batter left over to fill a mini loaf pan...unfortunately i don't own any of those so i made due with a mini heart-shaped springform pan.
the results were mixed. while the regular muffins were really yummy and cute and stuff, the giant muffin in the springform pan took forever to bake and rose too much and made a fat mess in my oven.
my old man got a bit zealous and took a muffin before i could take a picture of my completed product.
overall i was satisfied with what i made and recommend the tyler florence recipe to y'all. it was delicious and ridiculously easy. just make sure you have the proper pans.
