Book Binder Bookends By Christoffer Martens
December 11th, 2012 – German graphic-designer-turned-product-designer Christoffer Martens has simplified and re-worked everything we know about bookends. The clever designer decided to liberate books from bookshelves everywhere as his new raw oak and elastic combo, Book Binder, allows any collection of books to become freestanding. The kit consists of two end pieces of lacquered wood or raw oak that are fastened with an elastic band, stack the books between the ends – and voila – your books can stand freely on the floor, kitchen table – or wherever is most practical. Buy here: $70.00

Housing & Meals
By the time you arrive in Shanghai, you'll have already selected your housing and be ready to move into your new home. Housing is arranged by the program and both required and guaranteed for all students studying at NYU Shanghai.
Since there are no meal plans, expect to have most of your meals at local eateries and on-campus cafeterias. Off-campus apartments have fully-equipped kitchens. Please keep in mind, however, that restaurants on and around campus are very affordable and offer tremendous variety. You can even find western-style cuisine, though you should expect it to be significantly more expensive than local fare.

The Edwardsville Tigers put the finishing touch on four years of perfection in the Southwestern Conference on Thursday with a 102-39 road victory over the Alton Redbirds in Godfrey.
The win is the 61st straight in SWC play for coach Lori Blade's squad, which improved to 14-0 in the conference and 27-0 overall.
Ranked second in the Class 4A state poll behind defending state champion (Chicago) Whitney Young, Edwardsville has not lost a conference game since dropping a 50-37 decision to Belleville West on Jan. 29, 2009.
The Tigers senior class will graduate having never lost a SWC game and finishes its prep career 56-0 in league play.
Edwardsville will return to Godfrey on Tuesday to take on the Redbirds in a first-round Class 4A regional game.
A victory would almost certainly mean a showdown with Springfield for the regional title on Feb 14.
The Senators are 24-3 and ranked sixth in Class 4A.

Loyola University New Orleans THE MAROON VOL. 82, NO. 4 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2003 | MAROON.LOYNO.EDU Tree limb destroys crew boats By Joe Rosemeyer News editor Accident puts team behind schedule for upcoming tournaments Loyola's crew team does more before the sun comes up than most people do in an entire day. At least that's what club president David Bianco says. But even with its hard work and daily dedication to the sport, the 25- member team is in trouble. The rowing team arrived at its practice area on Bayou St. John to find two of its boats smashed beyond repair. A tree limb had fallen on the eight-man boat and severely damaged another four-man boat. Bianco, an English senior, said that the eight-man boat would cost between $18,000 and $20,000 to replace, and the four-man boat could cost more than $10,000. "In order for the boats to be insured, (the university would) have to have a different insurance policy," Nan Davis, director of recreational sports, said. "The university's deductible is $25,000. Technically [the boats] are covered, but it wouldn't do us any good." Davis said that recreational sports cannot foot the bill, because it would take up almost all of its resources for the semester. Bianco said that buying a used boat is impractical and too "We're something Loyola can be proud of." - DAVID BIANCO, ENGLISH SENIOR AND CREW TEAM PRESIDENT, on why he hopes the university will buy his team new boats STAFF PHOTO BY GILLIAN DICKER The Loyola crew team's eight-man boat sits near Bayou St. John after a tree broke it in half. The fallen limb also punctured a four-man boat, and the total cost to replace both boats could reach as much as $30,000. Team leaders say the future of rowing at Loyola is uncertain if they don't get enough money to replace the boats. LOYOLA REMEMBERS Communications senior James Jarc pages through a book of prayers written in memorial of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Students, faculty and staff members were invited to place flowers and other tributes near the statue of St. Ignatius in the Peace Quad. Interim assistant provost named By Muetze Hellmer Staff writer Associate professor of political science Eric Gorham has plans for improvement and integration among Loyola's faculty and students. Walter Harris, the university provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, announced the appointment of Gorham on Sept. 8 to the office of interim assistant provost for teaching, learning, and faculty development. Gorham will serve as interim assistant provost for the 2003-04 academic year, while David Estes, provost and professor of English, serves as an ACE fellow at Adelphi University as part of a program to participate in and learn about the administration of other universities. A university press release says that Gorham will assist the individual colleges in their efforts to enhance faculty development, foster a learning centered environment and promoting the scholarship of teaching and learning. "This job basically consists of helping to bring different parts of the university together," he said. Gorham said that one of his goals for the year is to increase involvement between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs. He cited a new program called "Unleashing Your Inner-Monster," which devotes itself to integrating first-year students into the university life and educating them about the resources available to help them realize their academic potential. Study-abroad office opens By Katie Ide Assistant news editor When finance senior Katie Grace studied in Dublin, Ireland, she had a life-changing experience, she said. But before she left, she had a lot of work to do. "It was up to the students to do everything themselves," Grace said. "No one held my hand." Many students had an experience similar to Grace's. They were often confused about financial aid, transfer credit, cost and scholarships available through each program. However, the opening of the Center for International Study has changed study abroad on campus. The center, which opened Aug. 1, offers a wide variety of services to students hoping to study abroad. These services include peer counseling, links to online services and a library of brochures detailing study abroad programs all over the world. International business senior Kristin Penaloza serves as a peer advisor at the center. She said that the center exists to be a resource that encourages students to study abroad where they want to go. Director of the Center for International Education Debbie Danna said that it is important for students to visit a place they really want to visit. In the past, she said, students have assumed that they could not study abroad because Loyola did not offer a program to suit their needs. This, however, is not true. Debbie Danna, director of Loyola's Center for International Education, guides students through the study-abroad process at an informational meeting in Mercy Hall on Wednesday evening.

Order 2nd Day on full-size orders by 11:59 p.m. ET 12/20 for 12/24 delivery. Details
What couple of drops that were in the sample smelled great, but couldn't really give it a try. Kind of a disappointment.
it was so small that i couldn't really use it- most had spilled out into the little ziplock it came in by the time it got to me.
but i'm into hydrating mists and would be into trying it again so i can give a more accurate review!
The mist sample was so tiny...and when I tried to spray it I hardly felt it on my skin. Not impressed
This is PERFECT for football games. I actually keep this sample in my game day purse so I can use it while sitting in the stands. Just a couple of spritzes give my skin the drink it needs and seems to slow my oil production. I love it.
Because the sample was tiny, I didn't get much use out of it, but when I did I thought it was a better smelling facial spray than others, and it felt refreshing. Cannot attest to any immediate or long term benefits, but would try it again.
Great re hydrating mist. I love the scent and the feel it gives my skin. Was unsure if it would last throughout the day and it does.
I couldn't wait to spritz some on after cooling the sample in my fridge but the applicator would not work. I managed to open the (tiny) sample but wound up spilling most of the product. It had a nice scent, too bad the pump did not work.
I like the idea of the product, but feel like it is something I really may never use. I feel like it will mess up my make-up and that I need to wash/dry my face after I use it anyway. I will keep the sample and use it on a hot day when I don't really care how I look.
I think that this product is fine, but I didn't really notice that I looked perked up or more radiant; it just felt like I sprayed water on my face. Also, the pump on the sample wasn't great so instead of a fine mist, it came out in little wet droplets that I then had to kind of rub in, which defeats the purpose. the larger bottle may be better in this regard, but I'm not purchasing it to find out.
This product has a great scent and it feels quite refreshing. Dries quickly. Perfect for a humid New York City day!

Detroit Cobras' lead singer, Rachel Nagy and rhythm guitarist, Maribel Restrepo, met in a bar in 1996 and have been making records and touring together ever since. The crux of their work has been to recreate the greatness of old school Motown and R&B by covering the more obscure songs from that canon, but with the intention to remain true to the spirit of the original song. This sort of effort could come off as a heady ploy or mere laziness, but in fact, functions as a form of music curatorship but imbued with hard work and lots of good ole fashioned rock & roll fun. And, unlike their Detroit brethren, Jack White, whose detours into blues and country seems, at times, less than genuine, Detroit Cobras are able to hit upon the spirit of the songs they have chosen to cover thereby doing them honor while making them their own.
Besides, fact is, had they never mentioned they were doing covers no one but the most nerdiest of music collectors (or baby boomers) would have known anyway. In this way they are more than a mere cover band.
I spoke with Maribel after the Sacramento show on June 9th about this point and a few others, but mostly about the annoyances of being after a prize winning cow and a working woman in the male dominated music business. As she points out – it may be a man's world but the women of Detroit Cobras know how to roll with it.

hey guys
i wonder if any of you guys could tell me a place to find the new about dota 2 becuase it seems that the blog im in doesnt even post anything and i really want to know more about it
http://www.dota2.com/ is the site im using
and no flamers plz hehe ^_^
Most of you prolly visited this thread cuz you thought he had some DotA 2 news. Sigh*
Come watch my epic HoN videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRaViJdS0ul
Includes my latest HoN Highlight video entitled Bloodlust (now with better quality version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDGPghLJln8
Includes a HoN tournament highlight video breakycpk personally asked me to make entitled Genocide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhDbMxUndmk
Don't hold your breath. When something comes out, you'll most certainly hear about it.
Hey guys, truth is that Icefrog and Valve are not really eager on sharing any information yet and maybe it makes sense cause they want to take it all out in one go so others don't copy their ideas.
I don't know if that will work, but I have found this dota 2 fan-site to be really informative: www.dota-two.com it states the facts and seperates them from the rumors. You might wanna check it out.
I'll get Dota 2 if its like... 30 bucks.
Any more than that and it's not worth it.
DOTA 2 was probably announced when it was only because of the well documented copyright issue, and they still probably haven't even gotten around to proper development yet.
I agree that the best way to keep in touch is to follow a fansite. Here's another. www.dota2talk.com
Don't worry. As the Dota 2 release date approaches, expect more Dota 2 updates to come out.

Had it bad yesterday.
I call it "the "gnaws"
If you're alive, you've experienced it , even if you won't admit it on the internet….
My heart leaks like a sieve. I've attempted to keep it quenched and satisfied by many of the same things you do to keep your soul satisfied.
I written about it here so I'm not going to repeat myself. That post continues to be the most "hit" post on my blog.
I'm not looking for sympathy, many of you reading this have way more on your plate than I do. Here's a note I wrote to a friend last time this happened :
Dear ____________,
I'm home puttering around. I have a moderate case of the "gnaws."
In my gut, and heart, a feeling of empty and restless. It feels like a rat is gnawing on my
soul. I thought about blogging about it, but not sure what to say. I "know"
the right answers: Get busy.
It's overcast outside which is contributing to it. I'm out of my routine. I'm all caught up on my bookkeeping. I don't want to be "clingy" w/ people..whether on line or w/ wife so I'm trying to
stay occupied. I have this almost obsessive compulsiveness to keep checking my e-mail to see
if anyone has written. Ever do that? Anyway, that's where I"m at
When I do internal inventory, (using the acronym HALT) Hungry, Angry Lonely, Tired, there is a moderate level of loneliness .
Nothing compared to when I was single. Just goes to show, being in a healthy deeply committed relationship is not the cure all for this inner angst. I know it will pass but dang, when I'm in the midst of it, it sucks. It feels like am covered with a heavy, wet blanket of shame.
Anyway, thanks for listening. DM
ps. One of the more intriguing chunks of ancient wisdom literature for me was written by a man who also knew first hand what it felt like to have a case of "the gnaws." His name was Solomon and unlike you and I, he had the resources to pursue every human craving to the nth degree (which he did). He kept a journal which you can read here.
If you've never read it, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. As always, thanks for taking the time to stop by. DM
pss. The angst is gone. The sun is shining. Life is good. I need to head outside and get ready for a concert. Wanted to post this while I could still access some of the darker emotions. Sincerely, DM

The Colorado Basic Literacy Act was enacted in 1997 by the Colorado General Assembly to ensure that all students by the third grade have the literacy skills essential for success in school and life. CBLA calls for local school districts to identify students who are reading below grade level and give them the necessary reading interventions. CBLA will be repealed as of July 1, 2013 due to the passage of H.B. 12-1238, the Colorado READ Act. Refer to the READ Act page for more details. |
CBLA Data Collection:
The 2011 - 2012 CBLA data collection opened Tuesday, May 15th and will close September 9th. Although there are no changes to the data collected, the data is no longer collected as a part of the End of Year (EOY) collection. Please email questions related to the CBLA collection to Dian Prestwich at email@example.com.
DIBELS Benchmark Goals:
The University of Oregon DIBELS Data System released a report this summer suggesting that all DIBELS Next probes no longer need to be given at each grade level and that the system will no longer require calculation of a composite score. The University of Oregon DIBELS Data System is recommending new benchmark goals which are not the same as the benchmark goals recommended by Dynamic Measurement Group, the authors of DIBELS Next. Below are some links to documents you will find relevant.
For all state level reporting, CDE will continue to require use of the former goals generated by using all probes at each grade level to determine an overall composite score. This applies to reporting for the Colorado Basic Literacy Act, the READ Act, and the Read To Achieve grant program.

WASHINGTON, DC – Recent data indicate a slowdown in economic activity for the remainder of 2012, yet modest growth is still expected, according to Fannie Mae's (FNMA/OTC) Economic & Strategic Research Group. Breaking pace with a strong first quarter, consumer spending has weakened in recent months as the consumer confidence index fell to the lowest level since January. Contributing to the downturn is an uncertain job market. The June employment report showed significantly fewer hires compared to the first quarter monthly average, and ongoing concern regarding the European debt crisis and domestic financial markets may suppress a meaningful increase in private payrolls before the end of the year. In light of these trends, the Group has revised down the 2012 gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection from 2.2 percent to 2.0 percent.
"The data from the past month collectively point to decelerating economic growth, but growth nonetheless," said Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan. "It's now clear that our bias toward downside risks noted in the June forecast have materialized, pushing down our already modest growth projections. However, despite signs of deteriorating momentum for economic activity, housing continues to be a bright spot as news from the housing market has been relatively upbeat, presenting a rare upside boost to the economy."
The housing market continues to show positive signs. Compared to the same time last year, home sales increased by 9 percent and single-family housing starts are approximately 20 percent higher, though the levels are still considered below healthy norms. Residential investment is expected to increase this year but from a very low base, and is expected to contribute to economic growth for the first time since 2005. According to Fannie Mae's June 2012 National Housing Survey, homeowners are showing greater confidence in one-year-ahead home price expectations, and their broad attitudes regarding the housing market continue to improve. The share of polled consumers who say they would buy a home if they were going to move increased by 6 percentage points to the highest level seen in the survey's two-year history. This is likely due in part to low interest rates and the assumption that home prices have hit bottom.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month.Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines says her doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam Sunday. Reines would not elaborate on the location of the clot but says Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants.Clinton was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital so doctors can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.Reines says doctors will continue to assess Clinton's condition, "including other issues associated with her concussion."The 65-year-old Clinton fell and suffered a concussion while at home alone in mid-December as she recovered from a stomach virus that left her severely dehydrated.The concussion was diagnosed Dec. 13 and Clinton was forced to cancel a trip to North Africa and the Middle East that had been planned for the next week.

From the moment that Aryanna Whitten '13CPS received her acceptance letter to St. John's University, she knew that she was about to embark on the experience of a lifetime, and couldn't wait for it to begin.
"I decided to come to St. John's because it had great diversity and a wide range of academic programs to choose from," she said. "I had narrowed my choice to between Boston University and St. John's, and what really impressed me were our University's core values. Not a lot of other schools have such a deep connection to trying to better us as people, using the Vincentian values. That stuck with me because I really hold those values close to my heart. That's what initially brought me here, and right from the start I found out that St. John's had so much to offer me."
It didn't take long for this outgoing young woman to realize that she had chosen a university that was perfect for her. From her earliest days on campus, she was eager to participate in the many academic, cultural and spiritual opportunities that contribute to the life-changing nature of the St. John's experience.
One such offering is Discover the World, a popular study abroad program in which students spend an entire semester immersed in the languages, cultures and communities of three countries, allowing them to gain a broader understanding of the issues shaping our changing world.
For Whitten, taking advantage of this unique initiative was something she wasn't about to pass up. Her family was born in the Caribbean, and even though she's been back and forth a number of times, this will be the first time she'll be traveling to countries with cultures vastly different from her own.
"I'm going to be in the Discover the World Program in Rome, Paris and Spain," she said. "When I found out that St. John's offered this program, I knew that I had to use it to my advantage because a lot of people don't get the chance to study abroad. I've never been to Europe, and I really want to become more open-minded, gain more experiences and meet new people. I know that when I get back, my whole outlook on life will have changed, not only intellectually but also personally."
She is one of the first in her family to go to college, and her proud parents agree that participating in this program is an opportunity not to be missed.
"My mom supports my decision because she thinks that in order for me to be successful as a student, I need to broaden my horizons. But she's also very protective and I know that she'll miss me a lot. We have technology these days to keep us all connected, and my mom is comfortable with using that technology, so I know that we'll stay connected."
As a student worker in the Office of Institutional Advancement Communications, Whitten is well aware of the numbers of alumni who have made a commitment to offer assistance and support to current students. During the past semester she served as a Student Insider in the Alumni Insider's View…Program (AIV), sharing her comments on video about the AIV events in which alumni offered their personal experiences and expertise to help students make the most of their time at St. John's.
"Our alumni are great because when they come back they really help the students, and we can build a relationship with them. They don't just give their money, they also give of themselves, which is really nice. They tell us all how the world really is, how the job market is, and give us great advice about what we need to do to be successful, both in college and afterwards when we're starting our careers."
She is deeply appreciative of the alumni whose generosity helps to defray some of the costs of participating in Discover the World for students like her.
"I know that the students who are going with me to Europe are very grateful to the alumni for helping us out," she remarked. "For many of us, the financial assistance that we receive determines whether we go or not, and that money truly makes a difference. The alumni need to know that their gifts are going to a good use, and directly helping the students to better themselves in a lot of ways. For myself and many students like me, taking advantage of everything that St. John's has to offer is our way of showing our appreciation for everything that has been made available to us through the generosity of our donors."

Is the price going to change back to 14.99 or is it going to stay at 19.99?
It was 14.99 a day or so ago.
i too would like to know i had 4 bottles in my cart so that makes it an extra 20 bucks...
I believe it will be $20 for a bit; I just bought some at that price; still a good deal and the coupon code stacks to make it $18.
I prefer it in smaller doses so NP's brand works for me.
can you find it now tho...
Nutraplanet Representative
PM me with any order questions and concerns
We haven`t jacked up the prices at all Adel. I talked with Sam about the feasibility of these caps before they went into production full well knowing the price of HD2. For our initial run, the costs are high for labelling, bottling etc. We also aren`t manufacturing these capsules on the scale that other companies pump out their products so the price to us is greater. Economies of scale my friend. At $15, we were pretty close to at-cost once you add in all these factors.
Regardless, I see it's sold out now. Is this going to be restocked or was this a one-run deal as stated previously?
I'll check with Sam about that Chops.
Add to that it was hard to find a 6-bromo only product and still is. Most of them are blends .
how it is back to 14.99 and out of stock...sheeeesh
nothing ehh?
what are you looking to find out ticco?

I see how you guys are saying it is more expensive and I can see both sides of the story here. In my experience, the lower dose during pct does NOT cut it for me. At the same time, the more aggressive does IS worth the extra money IMO.
Also for me personally, forslean that was in HDx2 wrecked my stomach. And I hated the histidine in aPCT. So I'd certainly pay a pretty penny for bromo solo.

I was in Boise the other day, had to go to Cabelas. They have a "gun vault" with all kinds of unusual firearms. One of them was a Springfield Armory Rolling Block in 50-70. It was a beater, with big chunks taken out of the wood, plus it looked like it had been cut down to me. Weren't they supposed to have like a 36" barrel? And a bayonet lug? This one had neither.
$499. Is it woth the $$? I've got to go through Boise again on Wednesday.

Feng Shui For A Small Office
A fulfilling work life filled with happy vibrations that stay with you through the day can be assured when you make an active effort to harness positive Chi around you, no matter how small the personal space allotted to you. Feng shui can be used by the most humble employee and by the most important of CEOs. In this issue, we offer some pointers to those of you who have only a tiny corner or cubicle to work with to improve your feng shui.
Checking For Poison Arrows
The first thing to do is to check for and safeguard yourself from being afflicted by secret poison arrows that are created by sharp, pointed and straight physical objects that might inadvertently be aimed directly at where you are sitting. These can be the edge of a filing cabinet or an overhead beam inadvertently placed directly above you. Or it can be the corner of a wall directly opposite you or someone's straight divider. Poison arrows can be a colleague's desk edge, her cactus plant, a pillar directly in front of you, and just about anything that appears to be threatening your peace of mind.
In any office, especially one that is basically too small and seems crammed and untidy, there are bound to be harmful poison arrows near where you sit that bring bad Chi towards you. These are sure to hurt you while you are working, sitting or doing anything at all, your mind on other things, oblivious about what may be silently hurting you. So you need to open your eyes and look hard around you for anything that might potentially be harming you.
Cures For Feng Shui Afflictions At Work
If you feel something might be harming you where you sit, here are some quick cures. Note that these cures are especially suitable for those working in a small office where there might be limitations preventing you from doing anything elaborate to dissolve your poison arrow affliction. It is really necessary to take these feng shui cures and place remedies to block off these problems.
1. Overhead beams
When beams press down on you from above, they must have their edges neutralized. Hang
flutes in an A-formation
or hang hollow bamboo rods tied with a red string. This will dissolve negative Chi.
2. Sharp edges of corners
The best cure is to hang a curative element in front of the edge and what this needs depends on the direction of the edge that is hurting you.
If the edge is facing you in the East and Southeast, hang a
curved knife
in front of the edge.
If the edge is facing you in the West and Northwest, hang a
bright light
in front of the edge.
If the edge is facing you in the South, hang a
faceted crystal
in front of the edge.
If the edge is facing you in the North, place a
hanging plant
in front of the edge.
If the edge is facing you in the Southwest or Northeast, hang a hanging plant or a
metal windchime
in front of the edge.
3. A window behind you
Use a piece of cardboard to cover up the window, and then
hang a picture of a mountain
on it. This is the best thing to do if you cannot move and there is not enough space to rearrange the desk.
4. Filing cabinet blocking your view
Create private space by utilizing the cabinet that is blocking your path by using it to "activate" auspicious luck for you. Check the direction it is in (i.e. in relation to your location) and following the element cures dissolve the afflicted energy coming at you.
Thus if the cabinet blocking you is coming from the East and Southeast, place metallic energy such as a
brass mirror
on your table placed such that it is in between the filing cabinet and you. If it is in the West or Northwest, place a couple of the
floating oil lamps
on your table between your seat and the cabinet. If the cabinet confronting you is in the South direction, place a
ZEN like water feature
between you and the cabinet. These are wonderful cures that do much to create improved Chi near you. If the direction is North, place a small table indoor plant, and if it is coming from the South, place a
raw quartz crystal
or a
water feature
on your desk.
Cabinets sending harmful vibrations to you from the Southwest and Northeast can be dealt with by placing a metallic
brass mirror
. The idea is to destroy or exhaust the afflicted Chi coming at you. Which cure you opt for depends on how severe the affliction is.
5. A colleague's cactus plant or other sharp object pointed at you
