BACKGROUND: The Heat Stress Index is a new, comprehensive summer index that evaluates daily relative stress for local locations throughout the United States. The HSI could serve as a guidance system for issuing heat warnings, and as a useful research tool for environmental issues.
HOW IT WORKS: The index is based on daily maximum and minimum temperature, cloud cover, cooling degree hours, and consecutive days of extreme heat. Each of these measurements are taken every day, and scientists then figure out the likely range these measurements usually fall into. (For instance, the average high temperature in your area on July 31 could be between 83 and 105, and the low between 65 and 80.) Then they take all the different measurements taken today, rate them and average them, producing a number between 1 and 10. A 1 day is a very unstressfully hot day, with most other days giving you more stress due to heat at your location at that time of year. A 10 day would be awful, making it the worst day to be stressed by heat that year. A daily value of 9.7, for example, would indicate that only 3 percent of days would be more stressful than the present day at the given location during this time of the year. The same weather conditions in Boston and Atlanta will yield different heat stress index values, based on the city's weather history. The same conditions at the same place would also yield different values if they occurred in early June and mid July.
WHY IT'S NEEDED: It's not the heat, it's the humidity. But why does humidity make you hotter? Humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air. The hotter the air, the more moisture it can hold. For example, a high relative humidity of 100 percent means that the air is saturated with moisture and can't hold any more. Our bodies rely on the evaporation of moisture from our skin to keep cool. When relative humidity is low, sweat evaporates from the skin very quickly. But when it is high, body sweat does not evaporate as easily, and we feel sticky and hot.
HEALTH RISKS: Overheating can be very dangerous. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses fluid and salt through perspiration faster than they can be replaced, causing dizziness. Exercising in hot weather can cause muscle cramps, especially in the legs, because of brief imbalances in body salts. People not used to exercising in heat may experience a quick drop in blood pressure that can lead to fainting. And in some cases, extreme heat can cause body temperature to rise to 105 degrees or higher, causing a heat stroke, with confusion and unconsciousness. Low humidity makes us feel cooler than the actual temperature because our sweat evaporates quickly. But low humidity can cause dry, itchy skin and chapped lips.

Our mission is to:
A broad-based professional degree program, the MPA includes applied work in several related disciplines: Public Administration, Communication, Management, and others. The conceptual and analytical skills developed through the MPA curriculum, which is now available online or on campus, are critical to the effective management of public or non-profit agencies and programs. Contemporary public officials are required to make complex choices and implement programs and policies within difficult financial, legal, political, and organizational constraints. More than ever, it is important that administrators be able to work with a variety of people, both within and outside the public or non-profit sectors. Professional education in public administration encompasses fiscal control, organization management,decision analysis, and a working understanding of government institutions and legal procedures. MPA graduates are uniquely prepared to understand the responsibility and accept the challenge of managing in the public or non-profit sectors.
The MPA is considered a terminal degree frequently sought by professionals entering or pursuing a career in the public or nonprofit sectors. This degree is also useful to individuals pursuing careers in private industries that are highly regulated. The degree is conferred when the student completes the required thirty-six credit hours with a cumulative GPA of no less than 3.0. Students can complete the degree by enrolling full-time for two years. Graduate hours are divided between required core courses (21 hours) and elective courses (15 hours).
Beginning in Spring Semester 2012, SUU will begin to offer online MPA courses. Students who wish to complete their MPA degree entirely online will be able to do so. Students pursuing an online MPA degree must follow the identical application process as students who participate in the on-campus MPA program. Online MPA courses are taught by the same high quality faculty and adjuncts as on-campus courses. And, online MPA students must complete the identical academic requirements as the on-campus student. Technical requirements for students pursuing MPA courses online can be found in FAQs. Please also take a moment to read SUU President Michael Benson's announcement letter.
Any MPA student can enroll in either online or on-campus courses. Students may choose from all course offerings in any combination of on-campus or online courses as long as the minimum credits are earned at the required performance level. Southern Utah University and the Master of Public Administration program currently are accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The SUU MPA program is also proud to be affiliated with NASPAA and is working toward securing its additional accreditation.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. It's Jenelle here with our latest LOTW winner.
The gallery is just brimming with delightful layouts at the moment and I am particularly loving all these new layouts popping up that are using SP's newest kit, Heartfelt. It's such a gorgeous kit and as you are all showing us through your pages, it is soooo versatile.
This week I was so happy to see one of our gorgeous gallery girls making a spectacular return to posting in our inspiration gallery. The lovely Carrie (aka acmckelvey) has been working very long hours but found some time to weave her digi-magic with SP's newest kit (and a couple of other kits too) in her layout called Easter 2012. Just take a look.
Isn't this just beautiful? First of all, this photograph of acmckelvey's daughters is just so sweet (and my they have grown up fast!) I adore the way it has been framed here along with the gorgeous clusters and paper shapes scattered throughout the layout. Such a stunning design and every element and paper has been selected and placed with true 'Carrie' style.
Congratulations Carrie (acmckelvey), you have been emailed a $10 Shabby Shoppe gift card (please check your Spam folder in case it is hiding in there). We look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work here in the gallery and if you haven't done so already, please go and check out some of Carrie's beautiful pages here.
Thanks for stopping by today – I do hope you've been inspired by our latest LOTW post and that is has you creating and uploading to the gallery soon – we really do love seeing what you create week by week.
Please join me again on Wednesday when I'll be sharing a team 'make-over' inspiration post with you all!!! Oh it's going to be fun! Until then, happy scrapping everyone!

Why the U.S. Is Becoming Ground Zero For the Dirtiest Energy [With Slideshow]
Editor's Note: Tara Lohan is traveling across North America documenting communities impacted by energy development for a new AlterNet project, Hitting Home. Follow her trip on Facebook or on Twitter.
A few years ago most Americans had never heard of tar sands. Now, thanks to mounting opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline and a recent spill in Arkansas, vocabularies have grown, and so has a movement. Environmentalists have ignited a firestorm of protests over the pipeline, prompting rallies in DC and states across the country, resulting in high-profile arrests and media blitzes.
(click the image below to see the slideshow)
Keystone XL, which would allow more dirty oil from the environmentally ravished boreal forests of northern Alberta to flow through the U.S., has become a rallying call of sorts, a tangible way for environmentalists and other concerned residents to fight the elusive specter of climate change.
With all the focus on blocking the Obama administration's approval of Keystone XL, the general public has mostly missed a project plugging along at 8,000 feet atop the Tavaputs Plateau in Eastern Utah (part of the ever-larger Colorado Plateau), and not far from beloved Arches and Canyonlands national parks. This fall a Canadian company named U.S Oil Sands (formerly Earth Energy Resources) leapt another legal hurdle on its multi-year journey to becoming the first commercial-scale tar sands mine in the U.S. Local and regional activists have been fighting the development for years, but it has somehow missed the national conversation, which is odd because the potential for tar sands and oil shale development in Utah could be massive.
"We don't want the unconventional fuel industry to gain a foothold on the Colorado Plateau," said Taylor McKinnon of Grand Canyon Trust. "The U.S. unconventional fuel carbon bomb is bigger than Alberta's."
Tar sands (also known as oil sands) are rocks that have bitumen (a form of oil) mixed in with sand, clay and water. Tar sands are usually extracted by strip mining an area to remove the rock, then crushing it and using heat, water and chemicals to separate the oil, which is then diluted with other hydrocarbons in order to make it liquid enough to be transported to a refinery. (Sometimes in situ recovery is possible, where steam and chemicals are pumped into underground wells to enable the bitumen to come to the surface.) The process is energy- and water-intensive and the waste massive and dangerous, at least as it has been done in northern Alberta (see photos here).

Thread: A sister for Sabine

A sister for Sabine
We are expecting a new little girl in September and we are struggling with a name for her. Our 2 year old's name is Sabine Elizabeth (Elizabeth is her maternal grandmother's middle name). We like names that are unique (but not strange), feminine (but not frilly) and that are easily pronounced internationally (we currently live in Germany). We had already picked out a boy's name: Elliot Cole, but alas we are back to the drawing board for a girl's name...
Her middle name will preferably be Lee (her paternal grandmother's middle name). Our front runners right now are Evelyn and Nele. We've even been discussing the possibility of Nele as a nickname for Evelyn - does that seem crazy?
Other contenders are (but please feel free to suggest more):
Ellis - we feel it may be a little too strong
Svea - my hubby thinks this one is a bit too unique
Everly - we really like this, but are afraid that it might sound a little too current or "fadey"
Thank you so much for your help!

If you really love Nele, I could see it more as a nickname for Annalie than Evelyn. Would you consider Annalee to get the Lee in there? I Annalee Evelyn or Evelyn Annalee nn Nele could really be a winner.
ETA: I also like Thalia Lee as the pp suggested for a sister to Sabine. I dig the subtle mythological vibe going on. Also, I once wrote a short story about sisters, Sabine and Romola, so Romola always seems like it goes with Sabine.Last edited by teacherma; April 5th, 2013 at 09:02 AM.

As we seek to encourage and provide OBU students with a meaningful and effective experience/relationship related to academic advising, these are some resources that may help us accomplish that. This page will change frequently as new resources become available and as we feature more long-standing resources. So, visit often, and send your requests for information and/or advising tips to email@example.com
At OBU, academic advising is the cultivation of a guidance or mentoring process involving a student and faculty member that provides both challenge and support for the academic journey.
This relationship will facilitate the development of personal responsibility in decisions regarding career planning, vocational choices, exploration of fields of study and subsequent course selection.
Below are links to resources which will help through the advising process.
The first two links, are foundational to helping academic advisors understand their role in the learning process:
The Academic Advising Inventory is a survey that will be given to sophomores each year on Assessment Day to help assess, in the aggregate, how the university is doing with academic advisement. It is a snapshot in time.
A Guide to Finding Your Career Calling is a diagram to help students who may be wondering how their choice of major translates into a career calling, who may be having a crisis of major or minor, or might just be looking for options!
The Bison Pledge lays out the criteria by which the student can expect to graduate in four years. Both students and advisors must mind their p's and q's!
Should you need a course substitution form, an independent study form, or the like, you can find it on the Academic Forms page!
To see the requirements for Modern Foreign Languages and Mulitcultural Experience courses, view the Foreign Language Placement Guide.
To see the requirements for Mathematics courses , view the Mathematics Placement Guide.
A Program Planning Sheet will aid you in the advising process.

We were a party of 6 without a reservation on a Saturday. They were most kindly. It looked empty but this is the normal late dining thing in Madrid. We were fortunate as they just had a cancellation. It filled up pretty quickly afterwards, a reflection of how good they are. Starters were excellent, they do a croquette starter, that... More
We booked Petit Comite for our Wedding Anniversary Meal and was not disappointed. The atmosphere of the place was just what we were looking for and the meal also did not disappoint, great service and great food.
Wanted to go out for dinner after reading such good reviews on trip advisor. Once we got there on the 18/09/13 evening with my husband and my toddler son the waiter soon asked us whether my 2 year son could be quiet at the restaurant, apparently the restaurant is a romantic place. I was very disappointed and sad at the... More
We saved the best to last! We would highly recommend this great, cosy and romantic restaurant with great decor and ambiance. That was our first impression on being shown to our table but the best was to come. We had a really deliscious 3 course meal and the French waiter, who spoke perfect english, recommended a very good wine. He... More
We got the feeling that this a "special date night" restaurant for 20 -30 something's in Madrid. It does have a wonderful contemporary feel to it, the staff was very friendly and the food was very good.
We really enjoyed our meal here. The food was fantastic, the service was great and the restaurant was well appointed. We had 3 x courses plus a bottle of cava and came to under 90 euros, which can be seen as expensive compared to tapas places in Madrid, but the quality of the food, service and drink would cost you...

First time in Madrid for a quick visit, staying in Calle Gran Via, so thought we'd check out Petite Comite. We arrived at 8:30 and the joint was empty which seemed odd, but we didn't appreciate the Spanish habit of eating much later. Waiter was good, ordered the anchovy and tomato salad, then steak tartare, so a bit out there.... More
We stumbled upon this restaurant after the hotel had directed us to a restaurant that had some criticism on trip advisor for being a tourist trap - the French name caught our attention and though it was only 8 p.m. (Spaniards eat dinner around 22:00), the French manager nicely asked us to enjoy a beer while we waited for 20:30...

Dined here for the fourth time within a year and could see there are doing right, also with the locals. Constant quality and new additions were made to the menu. I would sure like to recommend 'Huevos poche sobre crema de foie con duxelle de hongos y patata paja' Poched egg with a divine sauce from truffle and foie gras.... More

Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway: 'Fans are key for our Premier League survival hopes'
10:31am Friday 16th August 2013 in Football By Andrew Bloss, Reporter
Crystal Palace co-chairman Stephen Browett and manager Ian Holloway have stressed the importance of the fans support this season.
A bumper crowd is expected at Selhurst Park on Sunday for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur with more than 16,000 season tickets being sold for the upcoming season.
The Holmesdale Fanatics, a vociferous section of Palace supporters, are creating a display before the game on Sunday and fans are already promising to make it a special atmosphere not just on Sunday but for the rest of the season.
Both Browett and Holloway have stressed this week the importance of home games and the effect the crowd can have on the game.
In his pre-match conference on Thursday Ian Holloway said he knows Selhurst Park will be buzzing this season.
He said: "The optimism from the crowd will be immense, we have a great game against Tottenham on Sunday.
"It will be tough on against Tottenham but we need to believe we can get a result. Home performances are absolutely vital in this division.
"I think we can pop the odd surprise away from home but we will have to very dogged against Tottenham. We want to get off to a decent start. We need to keep clean sheets.
"Our fans are the extra player on the pitch. We need them and they need to be like they were at Wembley and when I first arrived here."
In his interview with the Croydon Guardian this week Browett said: ""We only have a few hundred tickets left for the game. The Holmesdale, the Main Stand and the Whitehorse stand are all sold out.
"The rest of the tickets are in the Arthur Wait. And they have been selling at a 100 a day so we are looking good for Sunday. It seems like we have got our ticketing policy just about right."
He added: "The atmosphere is going to be fantastic. The Holmesdale Fanatics are going to do a display and there will be 23,000 Palace fans making noise against 2,000 Spurs.
"We might not have multi-million pound players like Spurs have but I don't think they will particularly enjoy the atmosphere. I know our crowd will be great."

Romney Lets Ryan Be Ryan: And He's a Wow
Created by msouder on 8/30/2012 9:07:29 AM
I have known Paul Ryan since he started in Washington as a member of the staff of Senator Bob Kasten in 1990, then as legislator director for freshman congressman Sam Brownback in 1994, and then when he got elected to Congress. Here's something funny: he gets just as excited in private as he was in public. He energizes a room. No wasted time, let's get this done.
This is a guy who reads books, who studies details and yet grasps the big picture. Bluntly said, he's also someone who has improved his communication skills. As he had to work to convince other members of congress to back his budget, he honed his arguments about the risk, the details and his arguments. Most importantly, he lived with his family in Wisconsin when Congress wasn't voting. And he just circled his district over and over and over. He was always considered among the hardest-working congressmen. Not in going to receptions and Washington events but in holding open town meetings where constituents could hear each other and his responses to them. Stopping in coffee shops and Rotary clubs, taking unrestricted questions under pressure and scrutiny from his neighbors. Because he listened, and argued the points, he has developed into an extremely effective communicator.
A few technical points proving that point and why his speech was so effective.
1) Strong content (always the anchor) - everything will be free except us, how would the next four years be different, etc etc (Google quotes from his speech and then be impressed with how many really good ones there were)
2) Personal touch - talking about losing his dad when he was young, how he thought his dad would be proud of him now, with his eyes tearing btw and affecting his speech pattern which was not faked (I could see his frustration with himself, trying to fight it off, saying focus, focus - all good speakers have had such moments) and then again as he told how his mom, a young window, started a business and was his hero, again impacting his delivery pace. This is hard to fake, not impossible, but I know Paul pretty well. He's a focused guy, not a small talk or family talk guy. This was real from him.
3) Controlling his speech pattern - I talk fast. Paul Ryan talks really fast. Really, really fast. You can observe people around him just lose him as his hands go and he machine gun fires points. Some media are saying that he started slowly. That he was nervous. Well, duh. Of course he was but it was more than that. He was coached to slow down. He speaks in bursts when addressing groups, otherwise, at his pace, the 30 minute speech would have taken 5 minutes. He has also been trained by experience to build the momentum. That isn't an accident. It is passion building that gets communicated, in part, as a momentum build. His family comments also upset his normal rhythm because it is not normal for him. He looked over and saw his wife, his kids and his mom (the camera was completely thrown off, searching for her and at first on the wrong female - the script called to introduce her later). Internally he likely flashed back in his life as he talked about his jobs and being fatherless and poor. Now, Paul's brain flashes back and forward again a lot faster than the average person. But one of the advantages of not only knowing him but having recently bought a 50 inch television and HD, is not only that you can see ever whisker but see a person's eyes closely. As Paul moved back into the ideas, his rhythm accelerated and then hammered home his points.
4) Clearly they have 3 teleprompters: one to right, one to left, and then a center one. The political term is this: at key points, speak to the camera directly or "make love to the camera." Boy did he. Intense form. He bored in on his punch lines dead ahead and focused his passion.
Those things made a great speech. As good as he could have given. He is now a political rock star.

I hate Spiders
I do my best you understand.
To treat all things fair and grand.
To rise above the current trend.
Of being nasty but calling friend.
All are equal in my eyes.
Except the eight legged spider guys.

SPANISH EDITION. As different models for church growth emerge, new problems come to light. This book is designed with a visionary's mind, a pastoral heart, and a ministerial approach.
'Dan Southerland guides his congregation to renovation, health and growth through a process of step-by-step transition … If you are pastor or an elder, this manual is for you to use in implementing a purpose driven church… This book is to be studied, not only to be read.' Rick Warren 'I had the privilege of being one of the pastors of a church that went through a transition successfully. In the last nine years, we have had nine big transitions, our attendance multiplied seven-fold and we have built sixteen ministries. I am convinced that God let us learn from the transitions in order to spread the word to others.' Dan Southerland

Our stay there was really nice for the most part. It has nice amenities, great staff and we loved the Maxwell's open mic night. The talent was the BEST... we heard there! This is an older hotel that has not been renovated in all the rooms. They were generally nice and clean but definitely not updated. The bathrooms reminded me of my grandmas bathroom with stains in the grout., but I didn't feel it was unsanitary or anything just a cosmetic thing. There were no deadbolts on the doors. They did have that flip lock up at the top of the door but I feel much more comfortable at night knowing my door is bolted from inside. Lastly and maybe it's the age of the building but I seemed to hear more of my neighbors than other hotels. The doors were angled towards each other at the entrance so when our drunk neighbor got back and was talking(not yelling just normal talk) at 3am in the hall we were loudly awakened and heard the whole conversation. Again, I know I hear stuff in the halls at other hotels also b/c there is a space under the doors but it sounded like they were in my room. I don't know if I would stay there again if I could find a similar priced deal somewhere else within the same distance of downtown and I am pretty sure I could. The location was good though, it was a straight shot to downtown, so fairly easy to get around! de Michelle de Dallas, TX le 27/11/2013

It is fun to create one's own signature recipes! I agree. In my foods classes, I would always start each "unit" by teaching the students the "basic" recipe: pancakes, muffins, cakes, biscuits,drop cookies... etc
Then, I would teach them a couple of variations on the basic recipe: blueberry pancakes, banana or bran muffins, chocolate cake or carrot cake, cheese or herb biscuits, etc...
And finally, they would get to "design their own" or "play with their food" using the basic recipe as their formula. Those classed were the ones I evaluated. I didn't evaluate the product, but the thinking. What fun! I love your photographs and the colour of the icing and the calm mood it sets with that quiet yearning created to want to taste the cake and the flavour of the icing.

Retro is an affordable, slickly produced cave-flyer game, similar to arcade classics such as Lunar Lander and Gravitar. You pilot a small ship that must navigate through increasingly tortuous caverns to rescue stranded scientists, tilting left and right while making judicious use of your main thruster to control your trajectory and overcome gravity's pull.
The interface makes smart use of your iPhone or iPod Touch's accelerometer for the game's core mechanic: you tilt the device to steer, and you tap the screen to thrust. You have to make a series of safe landings on each increasingly intricate … Read more

It was a tad traumatic. For Miss Stella and us. I was on my way home from work and one of my girls had taken Miss Stella out for some play time in the yard. Normal. No biggie. Just some time to chase, fetch, and do business. But….This got in the way. Out of nowhere, this invader shows up. My daughter noticed Miss Stella sniffing and munching a little and not grabbing her ball. Not a good sign so she went to see what Miss Stella was nosing around in instead of grabbing up her ball for the next round of fetch. She found a few mushrooms and one seemed disturbed. She was not sure if Miss Stella had decided to dine a little early, and to dine on something other than her usual dinner fare.Miss Maggie Mae, our sweet gorgeous lab, had gotten violently ill once on some mushrooms in mulch when she had decided to take a little jaunt off leash and without permission. She ended up ok, but only after a nasty bout of being very sick. Naturally, this flashed through our minds and we became slightly paranoid. Ok…REALLY paranoid. We called the vet.
Now, we have done research on mushrooms before when Mags got sick, but have not had any around here so we have not kept current on the information. Besides, it seems as if it would not matter because the information seems difficult to sort. Is it poisonous? Is it safe? What is the coloring? What is the size? Does it seem round or oval? Tall with a bulb? I. Don't. Know!
When in doubt, err on the side of caution. The vet recommends that it is time to make the little gal get sick. This is when I really started to get a tad worried. Ok. REALLY worried. Make my dog drink what? Peroxide? Uuuhhmmm… is that not poisonous too? So we had to play the, "Which is the lesser of two evils?" game.
All of this is occurring in a span of about what seems to be two seconds in my head. My daughter in the meantime is searching for the peroxide. I called my vet three times to make sure I had heard correctly. I raised twins girls and never once had I the need to make one throw up because they ate something inappropriate. Believe it or not this was new to me. I am usually very confident when it comes to the care taking, but making a puppy that weighs well over 100 pounds throw up is a different story. And getting her to consume the peroxide provided the neighbors with some great stories to share around the fall campfires this year!
Eight piles of thrown up dog food later, this is what we had…
She snuck her way up on a bed, curled into a little disheveled mess, and started to take a nap. Not too happy of a camper.
I now go out every morning at 5:00 to search for mushrooms to remove from the yard. I repeat the process every time I let the pups out. I have always gone out with them when they go into our fenced (a.k.a safe) yard, but I never knew that I needed to conduct a search and seize maneuver before hand.I will gladly do so just to do my best to keep my pups safe. Call me overprotective of my four-legged family members, but they are family. And life is way too short to not give them the best I can. Even if it means tromping through dewy clover, grass, and weeds with my pjs rolled up to my knees in rain boots.

(Check with your own vet in your own situations. I am not recommending you do this same procedure for your pet. I am retelling a story based on what I was told by my personal vet. Also, please forgive my sporadic and lack of constant communication and posting. I am now having to do a blog with twitter for work. Trying to allow time for my personal interests, this, and keep up an intense work load is a juggling feat I have yet to master.)
