Troubling evidence tonight of gaping holes in security -- -- schools all across the country.
The Government Accountability Office finding illegal immigrants -- able to receive -- trading without even being screened by the Transportation Security Administration.
Eleven years.
All months after September a lot.
Some of them even receive certificates the GAO report revealing people on the no fly list.
We're still allowed to enroll and of course flight schools.
Our next -- chair -- -- congressional hearings on the issue joining us congressman Mike Rogers -- both armed services and Homeland Security committees.
The congressman great to have you with us how could this possibly be.
Given all the the tragedy that followed precisely.
This this event in 2001.
-- -- Michael balloon.
You know we were stunned when we get the GAO report before the hearing -- a few weeks that that this could happen.
You know eleven years after the -- the yet.
And we know two of the terrorists went to plot to wanna know how to take off imply wanted to -- -- to Lander finish in the course.
So you know it I've made a statement repeatedly this basic blocking tackling.
To make sure we have cut we cover these places that we did at a minimum don't trying people materially here -- Two to go through lots do what else wants things that a turnaround will -- the -- with the that was the purpose of the hearing was to look at GAO report in the number of a foreign nationals who were here illegally.
But what came out of the hearing it really -- this -- when one of the members asked the TSA administrative their.
General aviation department who oversees.
So what about people who are here legally either citizens or our -- legal visas.
Can they get training with -- and they stance and was yes.
-- they have to be evaded the answer was no within the question was well at least they're -- against the no fly list and the answer was no.
Now we have a list of people that are too dangerous to even sit on a commercial airplane but we don't bother.
To -- that earliest before we teach him how to fly the airplane to -- -- homeland.
Security congressmen -- -- people listening to you right now.
Who we've got to believe there their role they're listening to you to a world gone -- What in the world as the Department of Homeland Security secretary Janet in the politics now what is her excuse for.
For permitting this to occur.
Well no she wasn't the one testifying before -- I understand -- she's the one responsible.
I agree and she denied the report's accuracy.
Which I've been -- would GAO wanted to take her testimony but -- you testify before judiciary to House Judiciary Committee.
Last Thursday the day after my hearing in one of our committee members happen to be on that panel and ask her if she united.
Said detergent -- that hit a general aviation was -- there.
Well he was underwrote testify before us he's over this department he agreed without GAO's findings is that they're trying to correct them.
And my concern was that either the sectors in the now.
-- she doesn't trust her -- personnel but in any -- it's inexcusable.
So she was just vying for the full committee today and I asked her about it she walked that back a little bit.
But say -- did say the problem has since been remedied.
That is completely inconsistent with what GO say it.
And in fact what was testified to at -- hearing about the TSA person and the -- immigration customs enforcement person.
They testified under oath they're working toward remedying but I still -- not -- -- -- problem.
I understand that's where you work and serve.
Of people are very state Alabama and the people the United States.
I gotta say.
It is I listen to the process and the response to.
The Government Accountability Office exist for that very reason to audit.
These executive departments and her response is always she has no culpability no knowledge she doesn't remember or in fact.
The Government Accountability Office doesn't know what it's talking about but she doubts.
Well and that's why we're all in this like why don't rise we -- -- -- stay after it I asked both the witnesses who testified for immigration and customs.
An -- from immigration and customs enforcement as well as TSA.
-- -- -- take you have this problem completely -- where nobody is receiving a training is here illegally.
They sit within ninety days I'm gonna hold on to that but we're really really we don't happen in 2010.
Are you saying there was congressman that this is still go and -- Unbelievable.
It's still don't know that's exacerbating many days to straighten it out yeah I don't believe.
Yeah that's what people are outraged people are fed up -- TSA because of this kind of indefensible thing.
But I want to know we just learned about it because this GAO report -- we're gonna stay after but also.
This issue about the no -- earliest.
We are going to if it if they don't mandate that everybody be -- against the no fly list before they get -- lessons we're gonna pass -- statute mandating that anybody where the US citizen or not pulling away might be careful about that be careful.
While this administration doesn't like to enforce certain laws I don't see why they'd wanna destroy this new generation -- -- historical here I'm sorry.
As that this administration may not -- -- a lot longer.
Well it sounds like certainly strong elements of it shouldn't be.
Kind of -- don't see how anybody can defend somebody who's on the no fly earliest being allowed to go to the learn how to fly -- plane.
At all in and out of agreement and if there's a lot of this anonymous can understand and it's and -- Congressman we appreciate -- Taking care business the people's business thank you thank you some -- with -- congressman Mike Rogers.

Body Piercing Problems
Topic Overview
Body piercings
Body piercing is very popular with both men and women. Many areas of the body are used for piercing. Most people who have piercings do not develop any problems.
The ears are the most common piercing site. Most of the time, an earlobe piercing heals without any problems. Piercing other areas of the ear usually involves piercing the cartilage that gives the ear shape. Piercing ear cartilage creates a wound that is harder to clean, takes longer to heal, and is more likely to become infected than earlobe piercing.
Other popular sites include the mouth and tongue, nose, eyebrow, navel, and genital area. Each body piercing site has its own normal healing time and its own set of potential problems. Home treatment can help speed healing of the wound and prevent problems. At first, a body piercing site may be slightly swollen. A small amount of blood or fluid may drain from the site.
Common problems that develop from body piercing include:
- Infection of the site.
- Infection of the mouth or lips may cause speech, chewing, or swallowing problems or swelling that can block the throat.
- Infection of a nipple can scar the breast tissue and limit the ability to breast-feed later.
- The infection may be potentially serious or life-threatening and involve the entire body (systemic).
- Splitting or tearing of the skin, which may cause the formation of scar tissue.
- Problems with the type of jewelry used, including allergies to a metal. Make sure you use the type of jewelry designed for your piercing site. Only use nonallergenic jewelry. Surgical stainless steel, gold, platinum, niobium, and titanium are the only types of jewelry you should use in a new piercing.
- Other problems
caused by the jewelry.
- Jewelry in the mouth or lips can cause chipping or cracking of the teeth, gum problems, and difficulty chewing or swallowing. Jewelry can also become loose and be swallowed.
- Jewelry in the navel can get caught on clothing and linens. This constant irritation can delay healing. Navel piercings can take up to a year to heal completely.
- Jewelry in the genital area may cause injury to you or your sex partner. It also can cause condom breakage, increasing the risk of pregnancy and exposure to sexually transmitted infections. Piercings in the penis can decrease a man's ability to get or maintain an erection.
- Damage to underlying blood vessels or nerves.
- Scarring of the piercing site.
If a sterile technique is not used, there is a chance of spreading diseases, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). Blood infections (sepsis) can occur if a sterile technique is not used.
You can reverse a body piercing fairly easily by removing the jewelry, which allows the hole to close. If you have not yet made a decision about piercing, it may be helpful to learn about making the choice to have a piercing and how to prevent problems.
If you have a problem with a body piercing site, check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor.
Home Treatment
Caring for a piercing site
Most body piercing wounds can be cared for at home. If you received written instructions from the person who did the body piercing, follow those instructions carefully. This will help prevent problems and promote healing.
If you did not receive instructions for care of the piercing site, try the following:
- Stop any bleeding by applying direct pressure to the piercing site.
- Apply a cold pack to help reduce swelling or bruising. Never apply ice directly to the skin. This can cause tissue damage. Put a layer of fabric or a cloth towel between the cold pack and the skin.
- Wash the wound for 5 minutes, 3 or 4 times a day, with large amounts of warm water.
- Elevate the piercing area, if possible, to help reduce swelling.
- If you have a mouth or tongue piercing, use an antibacterial mouthwash, such as Listerine or Scope, 3 or 4 times a day to help the healing process. Avoid smoking, and don't drink alcohol or eat spicy foods until the piercing site is fully healed.
- Clean your jewelry with hot, soapy water.
- Use of an antibiotic ointment has not been shown to affect healing. If you choose to use an antibiotic ointment, such as polymyxin B sulfate (for example, Polysporin) or bacitracin, apply the ointment lightly to the wound. If a skin rash or itching develops, stop using the ointment. The rash may be caused by an allergic reaction.
- Avoid tight clothing over the piercing area. Tight clothing may irritate the piercing site. If irritation develops, it is best to bandage the site. Piercing sites usually will heal well with or without a bandage.
- If the piercing site is red or you are worried about getting an infection, remove the jewelry. Soak the site in warm water for 20 minutes, 3 or 4 times a day. If it is too hard to soak the piercing site (for example, if you had your belly button pierced), apply a warm, moist cloth instead. If the site looks or feels worse during home treatment, check your symptoms to find out if you need to see your doctor. If the site does not get better after 48 hours of home treatment, call your doctor.
How fast the wound heals depends on the piercing site. The wound may take 4 to 6 weeks or longer to heal. Some sites may take up to a year to heal fully.
Try a nonprescription medicine to help treat your pain: |
Talk to your child's doctor before switching back and forth between doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. When you switch between two medicines, there is a chance your child will get too much medicine. |
Be sure to follow these safety tips when you use a nonprescription medicine: |
Symptoms to watch for during home treatment
Call your doctor if any of the following occur during home treatment:
- You develop signs of an infection.
- You develop an allergic reaction.
- Your symptoms are not improving after 2 weeks.
- Your symptoms become more severe or frequent.
Preventing piercing problems
Do what you can to help prevent problems. Think about the following guidelines and information before making your decision to pierce a part of your body.
- Get a tetanus shot before your body piercing if you have not had one in the past 10 years.
- Choose an experienced person to do the body piercing. Ask the person doing the piercing what piercing tools he or she uses, how he or she cleans the equipment, and what safety standards he or she follows. Sterile gloves, sterilized equipment, and appropriate jewelry should be used. A fresh pair of gloves should be used for each procedure. Make sure that the operator washes his or her hands before putting on the gloves. Ask the operator to change his or her gloves if he or she answers the telephone or does anything else during your procedure.
- Check the studio to see if it looks clean.
- To prevent problems with metal allergies, use appropriate jewelry. Only buy jewelry that is surgical steel (300-grade), 14- or 18-karat gold, niobium, titanium, or approved acrylic products. Avoid jewelry made of other metals, particularly nickel. Many people develop an allergy to nickel.
- To protect others from disease, tell the person doing the body pierce if you have had hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. If you have hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV, make sure any jewelry you use is sterilized before it is used and is not shared with anyone else.
- Check with your city or county health department to find out if there have been any complaints about the studio you are thinking of using.

POVERTY ATLAS (GHANA): In 2008, for the first time in history, more than half of the world's population lived in urban areas. Of that urban population, almost a third, or 924 million people, live in slums--a 2,500-fold increase from 35 million slum dwellers in 1957.

Economic opportunity has always been a big part of the allure of urban life, yet most cities are at least pockmarked by areas of extreme poverty. Often the scope of the problem eludes government agencies as well as the impoverished communities themselves. Poverty atlases that map the extent of privation have existed for decades as a means to alert urban leaders to areas lacking basic services, such as water, electricity and sanitation. More recently, however, groups are looking to deliver this information beyond bureaucrats, going straight to the residents in an effort to empower them to take charge of devising and implementing long-term solutions to their problems.
Since 2007 nonprofit CHF International has been mapping urban poverty in areas of India and Africa through a program called Slum Communities Achieving Livable Environments with Urban Partners (SCALE-UP) (pdf). "There isn't a lot of granular information on poverty and slums in the cities we're working in," says Brian English, country director of slum upgrading, urbanization and climate change initiatives in India for CHF, which was founded in 1952 as the Foundation for Cooperative Housing to provide affordable homes for low-income families in rural and urban America.
CHF's goal in mapping slums is to provide a more complete picture of why poverty exists in certain areas and how conditions can be improved. For now, SCALE-UP, with the help of about $9 million in funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, focuses on three cities in India—Bangalore, Nagpur and Pune—as well as three in Ghana—its capital Accra and its twin port cities Sekondi and Takoradi. Some mapping work has also begun in Haiti.
Data deficit
There are several reasons why information about slum neighborhoods may be lacking. Often, when a local government designates an area as a slum it has certain obligations to that locale, such as providing access to health care, water and sanitation services. "So until the government is ready to accept their obligations to provide services to these populations they won't collect any details on them or include them in official statistics," English says. "Another way of saying this is policy makers often turn a blind eye to impermanent settlements."
In addition, high-poverty neighborhoods are spreading faster than some cities can track them, particularly if local governments are relying on outdated census information to allocate resources. And government-conducted surveys on poverty in developing countries are often considered crude estimates because the poor's mistrust of authorities skews honest answers, English adds.
Map making
In general, the first stage in creating a poverty atlas is to identify the communities that meet the criteria for being considered a slum and to plug their locations into geographic information system (GIS) software. (Esri's ArcGIS has been used in Ghana, for example.) This enables CHF and its partners to analyze data and query conditions in a particular community. CHF is likewise using satellite imagery and survey-grade handheld GPS devices to ensure the accuracy of its maps. "We've also experimented with open-source platforms like Walking Papers that allow anyone to add detail to maps and upload them to wiki-style, Web-based OpenStreetMap," English says.
CHF's Pune atlas, created with help from local NGO Maharashtra Social Housing and Action League (MASHAL), is one of the organization's most complete projects, with 477 slum neighborhoods identified. CHF has also been able to drill down and perform socioeconomic surveys within 360 of the slums, according to English. Within those, 85,000 households have responded to a questionnaire, representing roughly 430,000 individuals. To get this more detailed information, CHF broke each slum down into clusters of 25 households and asked a volunteer from each one to gather information concerning the people living in their household. For example, households were asked if they had their own toilet, used a public toilet (and whether it was free) or defecated in the open.

Well, it's confirmed the november 2013 film is NOT a sequel. But, after Ratatouille they announced all of there films from 2008-2012. So, they could announce an Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, or Cars 3.

I think the days of them announcing their slate of films years in advance are long gone. They shot themselves in the foot with the whole Newt debacle and Cars2 and Brave's production problems.

What Jay, Doug and Jo said! I think it's highly probable they will reveal the november 2013 [dinosaur] project, I mean, we already know the exact release date...
Also I'd be pleased if they cleared the whole Toy Story 4 rumors, which I hope they're only that: rumors.
And I'd be delighted to hear newt will be back in production, but it's not likely to happen D: though I'm feeling excited now that I think of it as a possibility.
But please! No more sequels (unless it's The Incredibles 2)!!! - July 8, 2011 at 7:10 PM

Hi I don't know where else to ask this question but many of you guys are huge Pixar fans so you might know but what does an animator do at Pixar? I look at the jobs section and that says they animate but who creates the characters in their software? DO animators animate & build the characters or is building up the characters on a computer a separate job? It even says in the qualifications section you don't even have to have computer animation experience wtf?

@last Anonymous: The animators add the motion to the characters. Making a computer animated film is a very large undertaking, and requires many people with highly specialized knowledge and talent.
The production pipeline is something like this:
The director comes up with an idea and writes and pitches a treatment. If that is improved, the story is written, usually in collaboration with the storyboard artists who sketch out the entire film.
When a sequence is approved, an "animatic" is created, with pictures of the storyboard edited together with a temporary soundtrack. In a way, the entire movie is edited together before any animation even begins.
At some point, the character designers begin designing characters. They work with the director and begin drawing ideas of how the characters might look. If the director likes a particular design and approves it, the designer will sketch the character from several angles (front, side, etc.) and give these sketches to a sculptor or modeler.
A sculptor might take these pictures and create a three-dimensional "maquette" of the character out of clay. Then, everything is handed over to a modeler. The modeler creates the character on the computer. All characters and objects are described on the computer as sets of points (vertices) and triangles or rectangles. Someone else may design the character's costumes.
Once the character is "modeled" on the computer, someone will design its materials or "shaders." A shader is a program written in Pixar's special language that describes how light reflects off of a surface. Using it, you can make a computer model look like it is made out of metal, cloth, skin, or anything else.
At some point, the model of the character is given to a rigger. The rigger will create a rig for the character. The character is given "bones" and other controls, which Pixar calls "avars." An animator can use these controls to move the model, similar to using controls on a puppet.
Other modelers will create the room or landscape and props used in a scene. Someone will write shaders for these as well.
Eventually, the animator is given the character models as well as the scene. The animator's job is to give motion to the characters. This is done by moving the character into a certain pose, setting a "keyframe," and moving on to another pose. The computer will automatically move the character from one pose to another. The animator generally animates dialog by listening to the recorded voices and animating the character to look as if it is speaking it.
Somewhere along the line, someone will position a virtual camera, and possibly animate it as needed. Then, the scene will be "rendered," which is the process of calculating the color of each pixel in the frame. This takes a large amount of processing power, and is done by a number of linked computers called a "renderfarm."
So, that's a brief overview of most of the process. Woops, did I say "brief?"
Well, I am an animation fan, computer animation enthusiast, and amateur programmer. I could have gone on and on (even more, I mean!) - July 9, 2011 at 1:10 PM

@last Anonymous once again:
Sorry that I missed your last question.
Pixar is looking for great animators who can breathe life into nonexistent characters. They don't care about the medium, so they hire traditional (pencil and paper) animators and stop-motion animators as well as computer animators.
If they think you are a good animator, they believe that you will be at computer animation as well, since computers are just another medium.
Once you are hired, they will teach you how to animate using a computer.
But, that doesn't mean you can get hired without any animation experience. - July 9, 2011 at 1:15 PM

To the question about what an animator at Pixar does. I was lucky enough to take part in the Pixar VanArts class in New York. The character animator does that, simply animates. They use points and spline charts to move the character's body around. Separate people design the character, make a 3D model of it, "rig" it (give it bones and make it move correctly). The animator's main job is to make the character move, they may do some other actions here or there. But they shouldn't be responsible for rigging or modeling the character. Generally speaking of course. :)

To answer Anonymous 3's question, modelers build the characters and objects from scratch.
There are many non-techno or non-art jobs at a computer animation film studio: Chef/cook, gift store cashier, janitor, maintenance, security guard... - July 9, 2011 at 8:49 PM

Dear Anonymous, Number 2. Hi, I'm Anonymous Number 3. Yes, creating the characters is a separate job from animating. In fact, creating the character is separated into different jobs itself! You have concept artists work on character designs. Then someone builds a sculpture of what the character would look like in 3D. Then someone builds the model in the computer. And someone does the "rigging" which sets up how the 3D character model moves. Then it's handed off to animators.

@Anonymous #1: Keeping a production secret isn't terribly easy. Actors expect to be able to say what project they're working on. Animators are a bit less picky, but it's still hard to not be able to tell your friends what you do at work. Plus, investors want to know what films are on the horizon. Also, the number of people who really care about changes in directors on a Pixar film is both fairly small and made up mostly of people who will see the film anyways.
@Anonymous #2: There is a huge variety of different jobs at Pixar. Animators just animate (and it is true that they don't necesairly need computer animation expierence; some have just done hand drawn animation). Character designers design the characters, modelers build them, riggers set them up animation controls, texture artists paint them, and so on. It's a little confusing because the media often improperly uses the term "animator" to refer to anyone who works in the animation industry. - July 10, 2011 at 9:47 AM

There are lots of jobs in an animated production company - animators, modellers, riggers, character designers, art designers, etc. (There are too many to name here)
It is my understanding that character designers first design the characters. Then a model is built, often first as a clay maquette, and then scanned and built on the computer.
After that, it is 'rigged' with controls (points kind of like a marionette, except there are thousands of controls), that allow the animation team to move the characters.
Once you have a fully functioning or rigged character, the animators can work with the model. Some animation companies assign different animators or groups of animators per character, and some assign by scene, so you would work with multiple characters on a film.
There is also another element. The characters have to be 'painted,' as in coloured in (when you first build a model it's like this default grey colour).
And finally, after all of those steps are done, the lighting department does it's thing and really brings the scene to life. If you've ever seen animation tests with just test lighting, it doesn't look natural. Proper lighting really brings a scene together.
And that doesn't even cover locations, which also have to be built, manipulated, as well as lit.
* * *
As for the part about not needing computer animation experience, I think it depends on the job. Some designers work on paper, modellers with clay, etc. There are also many other jobs. Plus, employees at Pixar can attend 'Pixar University,' of P.U., in order to brush up on skills.
* * *
If any of this needs correction, anyone can feel free to add their own thoughts. I don't work at an animation company - this is just what I know of the art form.
But the short answer to your question is 'no'. An animator doesn't have time to do all of those steps themselves. That's what you need a good team for. Everyone works together and passes their work on to the next level to be added on to.
I've tried simple computer animation (just experimenting on my own), and it's almost impossible to try to get through all of the steps on your own. And you especially wouldn't have time on a huge production. Plus, each job takes a very different skill set. - July 10, 2011 at 2:16 PM

"you heard it hear first. What exactly did I hear? That you had a hunch Pixar 'might' announce their upcoming slate of films? That's a pretty bold statement to make. Hearing it first. The truth is I heard it first somewhere else, in my own head, where I myself decided it was pretty likely Pixar and Disney would both announce upcoming projects. But guess what? That does make it fact, nor does it make me the insider with knowledge others don't know. It means I made a prediction, which could go either way. And it'll go either way for you as well. If you and I are both right in our predictions, I truly hope you'll be humble and won't go proclaiming to have been the first to state Pixar would be announcing their upcoming slate before anyone else. Because you didn't. You predicted it. And although it may be a grey area, there is a difference. Oh and if you're wrong, I hope you'll eat the humble pie and let everyone on here know you were wrong in your prediction. Or perhaps you'll just go back and edit your announcement (prediction) out of the article.

It's amazing how aggressive anonymouses get these days... And also how aggressive either Mike or Blogger can get, because I sent my comment explaining the whole process of making an animated Pixar film and it was never published ): So I'll just make a quick summary including facts others haven't:
Pixarian pitches an idea, and if CFO John Lasseter likes it and thinks it has potential, pre-production will start for that movie.
Concept art begins to be produced as the story department develops the story for the movie using storyboards drawn by STORYBOARD ARTISTS. Pete Docter in 'The art of Monsters, Inc.' calls this a simultaneous process a 'wonderful cycle of inspiration, traveling via drawings, between the story and art departments, each inspiring the other.'
Once the design is right for each character (after a lot of character designs have been made by CHARACTER DESIGNERS), a model packet is drawn with precise specifications on size and proportions of the character, so the SCULPTOR can bring it from 2D to 3D. Then using a Polhemus Digitizer (that's what they used on Toy Story, I don't know if they still use it) the MODELER will digitize that clay model, so that it can be rigged and textured.
The ANIMATOR is the guy who will bring that model to life, and he doesn't have to worry about shading and stuff. Then in comes the lightning department, which is where [even more] magic happens, because that's where the models stop looking like cheap opaque plastic and start looking more like what they're intended to look like.
Now, as an answer to 'It even says in the qualifications section you don't even have to have computer animation experience wtf?' Well, Anonymous 2.0 explained it way better than me. So there you go. I hope this was highly educational and thank you for asking something that was fun to answer and that briefly put an end to this horribly dull period of news shortage. - July 14, 2011 at 1:19 AM

With the help of a number of volunteers supplying combines, trucks and time the Yorkton Terriers harvested a major fundraiser Friday.
Seed to Score is a new fundraising effort in support of the local Junior Hockey Club initiated in the spring.
The program has a number of local businesses supporting the Terries in an effort to grow a canola crop which they will market in the fall.
The team had acquired 200 acres of land, some from the City of Yorkton, and some renting from Vern Brown in the spring, explained Terrier general manager Don Chesney, adding the initial idea was put forth by club president Lyle Walsh.
Once the team had acquired the land, a number of businesses were approached to support producing a crop, including providing seed, fertilizer and seeding equipment.
Recently more volunteer businesses swathed the crop, and Friday combines from three local dealerships, Maple Farm Equipment, Yorkton New Holland and W S White's Ag Sales & Service, along with Vern Brown combined the canola. Buckle Transport, Canamera LP and Prodonchuk Trucking provided the trucks to haul it.
Yorkton & Ebenzer Co-op were also supportive of the effort, said Chesney.
Larry Hilworth with Maple Farm said their firm saw the project as a good one.
"We do various community projects at all of our locations," he said, adding in Yorkton the Terriers "have been around a long time" and supporting the team was a natural.
"We ended up seeding the crop," said Hilworth, adding with the management expertise of Agri-Trend they used variable seeding rates fitting the "prescription" provided.
Then through sister company Green Trac Spray Masters, Hilworth said they provided spray services.
"And now we're helping combine the grain," he said, adding through all the efforts "the Terriers are going to make some money on it."
Hilworth said the field was running 35-40 bushels an acre on a day canola was bringing about $14/bushel.
Chesney said the idea is a good one as it is a fresh way to raise money. He said the team has nearly maxed out its corporate support in areas such as board signage, and in-ice logos, but the crop project is a new way to support the Terriers and generate some positive publicity for participants.

Story at a Glance
Capital Bikeshare has more to celebrate today than a very successful year on its first anniversary. The popular bikesharing system hit 1 million rides this morning, marking two significant milestones on one day.
Media Contacts
(Washington, DC) Capital Bikeshare has more to celebrate today than a very successful year on its first anniversary. The popular bikesharing system hit 1 million rides this morning, marking two significant milestones on one day.
At 7:15 this morning, an annual member checked out a bike at 16th and U Streets, NW and docked it about 15 minutes later at Lamont and Mount Pleasant Streets. It was a well timed ride: it was the 1 millionth tripped logged on a Capital Bikeshare bike since the District and Arlington launched the system on September 20, 2010.
Also, since that first day, Theodore Melahropoulos has taken the most trips by a Bikeshare member, 1,258 – an average of more than 3 a day! – setting a one-year mark that could be hard to beat.
Both winners will be honored at the Capital Bikeshare Birthday Bash at The Yards Park on Thursday, September 22. For more information about the event, please visit godcgo.com/cabibirthdaybash .
The party was planned to coincide with Car Free Day and Capital Bikeshare members are encouraged to take the Car Free pledge at carfreemetrodc.com . Festivities will include live music, food trucks, free cupcakes and Honest Tea, New Belgium craft beers for sale, games, giveaways, a photo booth and lots of raffle prizes. The festivities will be held rain or shine.
With more than 18,000 members and 1 million total rides, Capital Bikeshare has doubled the initial projections for the system. Project managers were aiming to attract 8,000 members in the first year and hoped they would take 500,000 rides. Capital Bikeshare has quickly become a successful addition to the District and Arlington's myriad transportation options over the past 12 months, as an inexpensive and reliable choice for residents, visitors and employees. The system currently boasts 116 stations and 1,100 bikes with more than 60 new stations planned in the next six months.
The Massachusetts Ave & Dupont Circle NW station saw the most activity since the system's debut in 2010, with over 40,000 trips originating from that point. Capital Bikeshare currently averages more than 4,000 trips a day, system-wide, and the Fourth of July holds the record for the highest daily usage, with 6,077 trips taken.
The full press release is also available on the Capital Bikeshare website .
Capital Bikeshare is the product of a unique public/private partnership between DDOT, Arlington County and Alta Bike Share. The two jurisdictions worked closely with Alta Bicycle Share to develop the program in the fall of 2010, offering regional service with 1,100 bikes and 116 stations. Based on the initial success of the program, both jurisdictions plan to add additional stations and bicycles to the system in the coming months. For more information about Capital Bikeshare, visit capitalbikeshare.com .

Mozambique |
With its 22,061,451 people Mozambique is the 53rd largest country in the world by population. It is the 35th largest country by area with 799,380 square kilometers. Almost five centuries as a Portuguese colony came to a close with independence in 1975. Large-scale emigration, economic dependence on South Africa, a severe drought, and a prolonged civil war hindered the country's development until the mid 1990's. The ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO) party formally abandoned Marxism in 1989, and a new constitution the following year provided for multiparty elections and a free market economy. A UN-negotiated peace agreement between FRELIMO and rebel Mozambique National Resistance (RENAMO) forces ended the fighting in 1992. In December 2004, Mozambique underwent a delicate transition as Joaquim CHISSANO stepped down after 18 years in office. His elected successor, Armando Emilio GUEBUZA, promised to continue the sound economic policies that have encouraged foreign investment.

All Students Passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test
by Yoshi Mineyama
We are proud to announce that students Michael Hashemi, Arianne Brandt, and Zachary Jaggers who took the WDLG 496 Workshop course to prepare for this test during the fall quarter 2009, successfully passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) last December, Brandt and Hashemi at Level 4 and Jaggers at Level 3.
The Japanese Language Proficiency Test is a worldwide certification test of Japanese language ability. This test was developed by the Ministry of Education in Japan and has been administered by the Japan Educational Exchange Services and the Japan Foundation (http://www.jflalc.org/) since 1984. In the year 2007, over 500,000 people took this test in 51 countries and 159 cities. In the United States, there are eight cities where students can take this test (the closest one to LSU is in Los Angeles).
This test is only given once a year on the first Sunday of December. Currently, there are 4 different levels: Level 4, for those who have completed 150 hours of Japanese language study; Level 3, for 300 hours of study; Level 2, for 600 hours of study; and Level 1, for 900 hours of study. Yoshimitsu Mineyama, Japanese language class instructor, is encouraging students to try for this test, because the JLPT is the most widely-recognized certification test for the Japanese language, much like the TOEFL for the English language. Doors of opportunity in graduate studies, licensing, and careers are open to students with this certification. Dr. Lourdes Morales-Gudmundsson, the World Languages Department chairperson, is very pleased with the success of the Japanese language program at La Sierra University.

Our Journey
Eli's Story
After several ultrasounds and two CVS tests, it was confirmed that our son, Elijah, had Trisomy 13. He had several defects such as extra fingers, cleft palate, no lenses (eyes), enlarged kidneys, two vessel cord, the right side of the heart appeared to be larger than the left, and a few more things. Although Eli had many complications, he was both perfect and beautiful to us. He has opened up our hearts to what love truly means. We were not sure if he would make it to term or through labor. Around 35 weeks it became obvious that Elijah's growth was slowing down. I was induced at 37 weeks, and Elijah Alexander was born at 2:30 am, April 25, 2010, weighing 4 lbs. 15 oz. He was absolutely beautiful. He lived for 12 beautiful hours, and at passed away peacefully at 2:30 pm, April 25, 210.
About Me
- I have such an amazing family, I am so blessed. My husband Jon and I have a beautiful daughter named Dylan who is constantly making us smile. We also have a son, Elijah, who has changed our world and touched our hearts. Even though he is an angel now, we will always embrace and celebrate his life.

Asthma is a chronic lung condition that makes it difficult to breathe. People with asthma have airways that are very sensitive and easily irritated. When those airways become inflamed, they narrow so that the air can't move in and out as easily. Symptoms of asthma include wheezing, coughing, tightness in the chest, and shortness of breath. Each of these can aggravate the other symptoms, so the sufferer is caught in a vicious cycle. And if the airways constrict too much, oxygen cannot reach vital organs. People can die from severe asthma attacks.
Asthma is not technically an allergy, but common allergens are most likely to trigger an attack. Inflammation is the body's response to foreign or toxic substances that come into contact with the body. Allergens such as pollen, house dust mites and animal dander can all trigger an immune system reaction in the airways. Just like a bacterial infection, this signals the body to bring white blood cells to the irritated area, and these attack the allergens.
In the process, the tissues of the bronchial tubes can become damaged. So the tubes become hyper-sensitive and over-react to things that would not previously have triggered a reaction: cold weather, pollution, dry air, or chemical odors, for instance. The bronchial tubes can also go into spasms and narrow, causing wheezing. Mucus can't be as easily cleared and accumulates in the bronchial tubes, setting off a cough reflex to clear the extra mucus out of airways.

feed-in. noun. The distribution of free vegetarian food, literature and recipes to individuals within a community. A positive, pro-active advocacy event utilized by animal advocates to illustrate to consumers that vegan alternatives to meat, dairy and egg products are delicious and convenient.
Misconceptions about vegetarianism abound. Many people mistakenly assume that they will be forced to subsist on "strange" foods like wheat germ, or survive on lettuce and brown rice. Others are concerned that their diets will be tasteless or unhealthy without the hamburgers, chicken, cheese and other animal products that they are accustomed to.
Demonstrating to vegetarians-to-be that compassionate eating is delicious, easy and healthful is why vegan feed-ins are so important.
Feed-ins work because rather than telling someone what they can't have, they showcase foods that are available. Most individuals transitioning toward vegetarianism are amazed at the wealth of new tastes they can enjoy. Whether it's a vegan version of chicken nuggets or a creamy dairy-free ice cream cone, vegan feed-ins give the public delicious, healthy samples of cruelty-free food. The vegetarian samples provided are always examples of foods that are readily available at mainstream supermarkets and affordable to the average household.
Rather than presenting vegetarianism as a diet of abstinence or sacrifice, vegan feed-ins demonstrate the variety and abundance of vegetarian eating and present it as a mainstream, healthy and positive lifestyle choice.
Feeding Communities Knowledge, Inspiration and Vegan Delights
As the saying goes, "The best way to win people's hearts is through their stomachs." This sentiment is the driving force behind the success of feed-in events. Feed-ins are a valuable campaign strategy in promoting cruelty-free food choices for various reasons, including:
