Planned Parenthood Funding, Criticism of State attorney General, and Budget Amendments
A conservative group has petitioned the Governor to ban state funding for Planned Parenthood, the Attorney General is receiving criticism from environmental groups because of his petition to the EPA challenging their position on global warming and legislators continue to react to Governor McDonnell's budget amendments.
The Virginia Christian Alliance came to Capitol Square yesterday to unveil a petition signed by Reverend Pat Robertson, Reverend Jerry Falwell and other Christian leaders asking Governor Bob McDonnell, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to block all state funding for Planned Parenthood.
Republican Delegate Bob Marshall of Loudon has introduced the budget amendment to put this in the state code. Marshall says that Planned Parenthood receives 500,000 dollars of state money annually.
Marshall: We are dealing with is trying to defund a malevelant organization. This organization should be called Planned Barenhood because they have nothing to do with families, they have nothing to do with responsibility. One forth of all abortions are performed by Planned Parenthood in the United States.
Jessica Honke is the Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia.
Honke: Currently Planned Parenthood in Virginia, they are currently not receiving state funding. The last time we received state funding was 2007 and it was about 200,000 dollars a year for prevention and education services. Right now the only funding that we receive is when we see Medicaid patients, so Medicaid patients can use Planned Parenthood as their health care provider. If they were able to defund Planned Parenthood, Medicaid Patients would not be able to use them as their health care provider.
Honke says that Planned Parenthood serves at the primary health care provider for 1,000 state Medicaid patients and provides medical services to over 30,000 patients a year. She notes that it is illegal to use state funds for abortion.
There was no word from the McDonnell Administration as to whether or not they would support Delegate Marshall's budget amendment.
Honke: What we use the money for is women's healthcare services; gynecological visits, pap-smears, cancer screenings, STI which is Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing and treatment, contraception. 93 percent of our services are prevention services that I've mentioned before like gynecological care, cancer screening and prevention. Only 7 percent of our services are abortion services.
Also this week Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli filed a petition challenging the Environmental Protection Agency's stance that global warming poses a threat to people.
Cuccinelli: The finding is arbitrary and capricious in light of the existing record. We have questioned the EPA's utter failure to conduct it's own independent scientific review. Instead the EPA has functionally redelegated its authority to review critical data to the U.N. International Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. That decision now appears to have left the EPA relying on data that is unreliable, unverifiable and doctored. This is a major sovreignty concern in addition to the mere process. Are we going to outsource major influence over American regulation to entities outside the United States not bound by our scientific standards. Virginia objects to this course.
Glen Besa, director of the Sierra Club in Virginia, says he believes Cuccinelli's litigation will be unsuccessful and only waste time in the end.
Besa: We look at the litigation as ideologically based at taxpayers expense and it's not based on science or the law. The law is clear as to what the U.S. Supreme Court directed the EPA to do. In terms of science, he's cherry picked a few issues in terms of what the international panel on climate change data. In fact there's literally thousands of papers that have been published on climate change. He didn't address the issue that the Arctic Ice cap is disappearing for example. In fact a lot of the international data has underestimated the effects of climate change.
Also legislators are continuing to react to Governor McDonnell's proposed budget cuts.
Democratic Delegate Charniele Herring of Alexandria has filed a budget amendment to maintain funding for homeless programs.
Herring: I rise today on behalf of the approximately 7,000 homeless children in Virginia. Standing before you is a delegate who has been homeless. I know what it's like to leave school and see your friend's go home and you go to a shelter. Yesterday, we received a letter from our Governor, outlining cost savings and proposals. He proposed eliminating one time expanded tanna spending for homeless assistance and reducing funding for homeless programs by 6 million dollars. We have work to do and serious considerations to take into our minds. I remember a time in the 80's when people were actually sleeping out in the streets and under wool blankets, and I fear if we do not show some compassion in our budget, we're gonna see that again. I'm not sure if anythiung has been printed or not. All I know is that we have less than 72 hours, before we see our proposed budget, perhaps we have time to make it clear to our children whether they have a roof over their head or they're college bound next year or they're in a tent in the woods and struggling to stay in elementary school, their future matters to us. The way I see it, it's in our hands. The choice is ours but the future should be theirs.
The House and Senate Budget committees will announce their proposed budgets Sunday afternoon.
Craig Carper, WCVE News, Capitol Square.

Zhejiang Region & Data Description Tips Animate The Zhejiang region is an area bounded within these coordinates: 32°N 26°N 123.5°E and 119.5°E. For day passes, there are four image products produced. Products include: a chlor_a (Chlorophyll a) image, an ergb (Enhanced RGB) image, a flh (Fluorescence Line Height) image, and a sst (Sea Surface Temperature) image. During night passes, two products are producted: a sst (Sea Surface Temperature) image and sst4 (Sea Surface Temperature) image. Meris data is not produced for this area. You will notice that the most current imagery date is displayed. If there are several passes, they will be seen inside each of the tabs. All images are mapped to a cylindrical equidistant projection. Images are at 1 kilometer resolution. All images are mapped to a cylindrical equidistant projection. More information / references for any of the products can be found in the 'information' link located beneath every image. Where colorbars are available and applicable, if you click on a google earth icon, the colorbar will be shown inside Google Earth. For example, RGB and ERGB images have no associated color bar. When you click on a google earth icon, a kml file will be generated and sent for you to use in Google Earth. HYCOM current data is also included in our kml files. Depending on the date of the image, different model experiments and runs have been used. The exact model and run is a clickable feature in the kml file. The HYCOM consortium is a multi-institutional effort sponsored by the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP), as part of the U. S. Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment (GODAE), to develop and evaluate a data-assimilative hybrid isopycnal-sigma-pressure (generalized) coordinate ocean model (called HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model or HYCOM). The is default is to be visible in Google Earth, but the visiblity can be turned off by unchecking the Ocean Currents checkbox in the document. NOTE: HYCOM is forecast data for the current date and should not be compared to real-time buoy data. HYCOM data is updated nightly and becomes the best available for imagery over 5 days old. When a Google Earth link is clicked for a 'color' image (CI, CHL, RGB or ERGB depending on the area), in regions that contain Florida, or parts of Florida, Florida's FWC Karenia brevis data will be displayed as a layer. This will happen if you are viewing images from any week but the current week. Since FWC makes the data available on Friday, current week images do not have an association to K. brevis data until Saturday. The K. brevis data displayed corresponds to the date of the images you are viewing. All images during any one week are linked to that week's FWC K. brevis data. More information can be found at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Red Tide Current Status page Mouse over an image to see a larger thumbnail. Click on the thumbnail image itself to open the highest resolution image in a new window or tab (depending on your browser). Some data is presented at 1 kilometer resolution (1KM), other data are presented at 250 meter resolution (QKM). The tabs represent different passes on the same day. The default is to select the latest pass available, and the last pass on any given day. Use the Calendar above the "Menu" to select the date you wish to see. You can use either the Month / Year drop down boxes or the arrows to the right and left of them to navigate by month. Should you need to link directly to a specific page and tab, you can click on the 'Direct Link Here' under each image and copy the new address in the browser, or, more simply, right click and copy the link location. |
CHLOR_A: chlorophyll-a concentration (in mg/m^3) in the surface ocean layer estimated with the most updated calibration and algorithms in the SeaDAS processing software (default product). Over most open ocean waters it is fairly accurate (40-50% RMS uncertainty without significant bias see McClain et al. 2004 for more details). Over clear, shallow waters (< 30 m) or over very turbid coastal waters or river plumes, it is often overestimated as other components (colored dissolved organic matter, suspended sediments, ocean bottom) interfere with the algorithm (e.g., Hu, 2008).
ERGB: Enhanced Red-Green-Blue composite image from normalized water-leaving radiance at 547 nm (R), 488 nm (G), and 443 nm (B). The latter three are standard data products of the SeaDAS processing. The image is used to identify various ocean water types, from shallow (bright), sediment-rich (brownish), phytoplankton-rich (darkish), CDOM-rich (colored dissolved organic matter) (darkish), to blue waters (bluish) (see Hu et al., 2004 & 2005 for using this type of image to identify dark waters).
NFLH: Normalized Fluorescence Line Height (in mW cm^-2 um^-1 sr^-1), a standard data product from the SeaDAS processing software using the Letelier and Abott (1996) baseline subtraction algorithm. It is a measure of the solar stimulated chlorophyll-a fluorescence. In sediment-poor waters (< 5 ug/L) it can be used as a better proxy than the "standard" chlor_a product to represent surface chlorophyll-a concentrations (Hu et al., 2005), as FLH is much less sensitive to CDOM interference (McKee et al., 2007; Gilerson et al., 2007). "Normalize" means that the data are normalized against input solar light and partially corrected for the effect of sediment 'contamination'.
SST4: Sea Surface Temperature (in Degree C) estimated with the SeaDAS processing software (default product) using a multi-channel non-linear regression algorithm (Brown and Minnett, 1999). The difference from the "sst" image is that sst4 is derived from the 4-um channels instead of the 10-um channel, and therefore has higher sensitivity (image is sharper than sst). For most ocean waters RMS uncertainty is often within 0.5 degree, for coastal waters in the Gulf of Mexico RMS uncertainty is less than 1 degree (Hu et al., 2009). Most errors come from cloud contaminations. The MODIS standard product MOD35 (Ackerman et al., 2010) is used to discriminate clouds from water, and a cloudmask (grey color) is overlaid on the image.

Los Angeles apartments simply soak up the sunshine and star power. This mega-metropolis is the second most populous city in the United States and one of the most ethnically diverse. In places it's thick with skyscrapers and in others it sprawls-along river basins, mountainsides, flats, and the sparkling seashore. From freeway to freeway, from the Kodak Theater to the waves of the Pacific Palisades, it's all Los Angeles. And all you need to become a bona fide Angeleno is a Los Angeles apartment.
L.A. is sunshine and smog. It's full of both fabulous fortunes and hardscrabble luck. Celebrity sightings and bumper-to-bumper traffic, earthquakes and world-class educational opportunity-these things all give Los Angeles character. Choosing the neighborhood that best suits your style-be it along Hollywood's Walk of Fame, in the hills of Los Feliz, among the Downtown lofts, or near the museums of the Miracle Mile will help you narrow your search for the perfect selection of apartments in Los Angeles.
Spanish governor, Felipe de Neve, founded Los Angeles in 1781. Forty years later, after the Mexican War of Independence, the area was claimed by Mexico. It wasn't until 1848 that California was purchased back by the United States. L.A was incorporated as a city shortly thereafter, just before California joined the union in 1850. By 1900, the population of Los Angeles was over 100,000. In 1930, more than a million people called L.A. home. It enveloped the San Fernando Valley after World War II and, as of 2010, held more than 3.7 million people.
Los Angeles is an international center of business, trade, education, science, and-of course-entertainment. Hollywood makes L.A. the "Creative Capital of the World." According to the University of Southern California, more creative artists are concentrated in L.A. than anywhere else, at any time in history. That means jobs in motion pictures, television, video games, music, and more. Other major industries in L.A. include international trade, aerospace, technology, fashion, and tourism. It's also a center of manufacturing.
If you've come to study, you'll have a ton of options apartments for rent in Los Angeles near your campus. There are three public universities: U.C.L.A.; Cal State University, L.A.; and Cal State, Northridge. Private colleges are too numerous to list, but include U.S.C., the American Film Institute Conservatory, Loyola Marymount University, and Occidental College. There's also a robust community college system in Los Angeles.
The average one-bedroom apartment in L.A. rents for $1,383. Two-bedrooms come in at around $1,628. Of course, you'll find a vast range of apartments and houses available in the huge city of Los Angeles. A chic house in Hancock Park costs more than an apartment in a grittier section of Westlake.
If you're moving to or within Los Angeles, you'll also rapidly learn to consider your commute. L.A. is a big city and traffic is a way of life. Think about how far your prospective apartment is from work and what freeways and surface streets you'll take to cross the distance. The joke is: it takes half an hour to get from anywhere to anywhere else in Los Angeles. Be careful the joke isn't on you.
You want entertainment? Los Angeles has you covered. This is where the magic happens. If a movie is playing anywhere in the world, it's probably on a screen in L.A. You can tour Universal Studios, gawk at the Capitol Records building, or compare your hands to Jack Nicholson's prints in the cement outside of Grauman's Chinese Theater. Later, catch a concert at the Hollywood Bowl or grab a cocktail at the Viper Room on the Sunset Strip. Feeling sporty? Go see the Dodgers, the Kings, the Clippers, or the Lakers play.

Additional Ways to Shop: Fishing 101
Additional Ways to Shop: Ascend
If you're seeing walleye suspended 6 or 8 feet off the bottom, and, yes, walleye do suspend, tie up an extra-long snell on 4-pound test line. Attach a floating jig head and inflate your nightcrawler with a worm blower. That should get your offering into the fish zone. When you find walleyes holding over flat, featureless areas, they'll usually be scattered unless something specific is holding them in a given area. A crankbait is a good lure choice to cover the flats. It allows you to cover water quickly. If legal, multiple lines can be used behind trolling boards to allow you to cover a wider band of water.

By Sammy Batten
The Atlantic Coast Conference hasn't produced a national football champion in more than a decade, and you can count on one hand the number of times a league team has even been in contention during that span.
So, it's with skepticism we consider the possibility that the winner of today's Clemson-Florida State game could stage a run at the national title. But there's no doubt the victor today will find itself in an advantageous position to be a contender.
Many, including me, believe that team will be the Seminoles.
By beating Clemson, Florida State would solidify its position as one of the nation's top-four ranked teams, along with Alabama, LSU and Oregon. The Crimson Tide or Tigers will definitely have a loss after Nov. 3 when they meet in Baton Rouge. The Ducks must get by USC and Stanford in November to remain in contention.
After playing the Tigers, the Seminoles have just one other nationally ranked team remaining on their schedule - Florida on Nov. 24 to close out the regular season.
Certainly, there are other opponents, such as N.C. State or Virginia Tech, which it faces on the road, that could also derail Florida State. But if the Seminoles can get by the talented and No. 9-ranked Tigers, I like their chances the rest of the way.
Florida State was one of the nation's dominant programs under coach Bobby Bowden in the 1990s, winning national championships in 1993 and 1999.
But the Seminoles fell into a period of mediocrity that eventually led to Bowden's departure after the 2009 season.
Enter Jimbo Fisher, an offensive mastermind who also fell short of grand preseason expectations in 2010-11. Those same high expectations followed Fisher and the Seminoles into this year, but until last weekend, nobody was really sure if they were as good as advertised.
A 52-0 shellacking of a solid Wake Forest team that defeated Florida State a year ago was a statement game.
The performance was enough to convince Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe that the Seminoles are back.
"They reminded me of some of the Florida State teams we played when I first got here,'' said Grobe, who is in his 12th season with the Deacons. "They are right there with those teams in all three areas: offense, defense and special teams. I just didn't see any weaknesses when we left Tallahassee.
"Of course, we'll find out this weekend against Clemson if they are for real.''
So will the rest of us.

James Morrow Biography
Born in Philadelphia in 1947, James Morrow spent his teenage years in Hillside Cemetery, not far from Philadelphia. After receiving degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University, Morrow began to produce prose fiction. His first such endeavor, The Wine of Violence, was called the best SF novel published in English in the last ten years by the American Book Review. He followed this with The Continent of Lies. Morrow's breakout novel was a satire on the nuclear arms race, This Is the Way the World Ends, which became a Nebula Award nominee and the BBCs choice as the best SF novel of the year. His next dark comedy, Only Begotten Daughter, shared the 1991 World Fantasy Award with Ellen Kushners Thomas the Rhymer. Throughout the 1990s Morrow worked on the Godhead Trilogy: Towing Jehovah, Blameless in Abaddon, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year; and The Eternal Footman.
Morrow then wrote the historical novels The Last Witchfinder, and its sequel, The Philosophers Apprentice. Morrow's contributions in short fiction also include a Nebula Awardwinning story The Deluge, published in Bible Stories for Adults; the periodically produced one-act play The Zombies of Montrose, published in The Cats Pajamas; and the Nebula Awardwinning novella, City of Truth.

Population booms
as CSC opens
CASTLETON The largest class in the history of Castleton State College has resulted in some students living temporarily in a hotel in Rutland.
CSCs enrollment is expected to top 2,150, a 34-percent increase since 2000, when 1,605 students attended the college. The large class has pushed the colleges housing system to capacity and beyond, said Jeff Weld, CSCs director of college relations.
We filled Hoff Hall, the 162-bed residence hall opened last year, and have converted all usable space in all of our residence halls to accommodate students, Weld said. We have seen an increase in upper-class students who wish to remain on campus, rather than seek alternatives off campus.
As a result, 23 students will be housed at the Holiday Inn in Rutland. School officials expect they will relocate to campus within the next month.
Despite the record number of students, the student-to-teacher ratio is expected to remain at 14 to one.MORE IN This Just InMaybe talking about life insurance isnt as bad as a root canal or as hard as talking with your...

BOUNTIFUL С You can help one local family bring their little girl home.
Woods Cross residents Drew and Erin Yeates have adopted a little girl named Mabel from Ethiopia. It's their second attempt after a failed adoption earlier this year. The earlier, reversed adoption has wiped the family out financially, and a fundraiser on Aug. 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Creative Arts Academy in Bountiful will help them afford one more trip to Africa to bring Mabel home.
"It's been quite a journey," said Erin Yeates. "Honestly, that extra trip just depleted everything. We'd like to be able to pay for the airfare to get us there."
The fundraiser event, which will include a bounce house, a silent auction, face painting and several vendors, was the brainchild of Erin's eight-year-old nephew.
"He knew everything we'd been through, and he told his mom 'Why don't we do a fundraiser to help them out?'" she said. "My sisters and mom really got on board, but he was the one who started it all."
The Yeateses, who have a six-year-old biological daughter named Olive, had talked about adoption since before they were married. They started the process in 2010 by submitting a request to Children's House International, a group that tries to match Ethiopian orphans with prospective families. The group sends referrals to would-be parents.
"There was so many reasons we decided to adopt," said Yeates. "It just felt like the right thing to do for our family."

Sometime in 1243–44, residents of Lakhnauti, a city in northwestern Bengal, told a visiting historian of the dramatic events that had taken place there forty years earlier. At that time, the visitor was informed, a band of several hundred Turkish cavalry had ridden swiftly down the Gangetic Plain in the direction of the Bengal delta. Led by a daring officer named Muhammad Bakhtiyar, the men overran venerable Buddhist monasteries in neighboring Bihar before turning their attention to the northwestern portion of the delta, then ruled by a mild and generous Hindu monarch. Disguising themselves as horse dealers, Bakhtiyar and his men slipped into the royal city of Nudiya. Once inside, they rode straight to the king's palace, where they confronted the guards with brandished weapons. Utterly overwhelmed, for he had just sat down to dine, the Hindu monarch hastily departed through a back door and fled with many of his retainers to the forested hinterland of eastern Bengal, abandoning his kingdom altogether.[1]
This coup d'état inaugurated an era, lasting over five centuries, during which most of Bengal was dominated by rulers professing the Islamic faith. In itself this was not exceptional, since from about this time until the eighteenth century, Muslim sovereigns ruled over most of the Indian subcontinent. What was exceptional, however, was that among India's interior provinces only in Bengal—a region approximately the size of England and Scotland combined—did a majority of the indigenous population adopt the religion of the ruling class, Islam. This outcome proved to be as fateful as it is striking, for in 1947 British India was divided into two independent states, India and Pakistan, on the basis of the distribution of Muslims. In Bengal, those areas with a Muslim majority would form the eastern wing of Pakistan—since 1971, Bangladesh—whereas those parts of the province with a Muslim minority became the state of West Bengal within the Republic of India. In 1984 about 93 million of the 152 million Bengalis in Bangladesh and West Bengal were Muslims, and of the estimated 96.5 million people inhabiting Bangladesh, 81 million, or 83 percent, were Muslims; in fact, Bengalis today comprise the second largest Muslim ethnic population in the world, after the Arabs.[2]
How can one explain this development? More particularly, why did such a large Muslim population emerge in Bengal—so distant from the Middle East, from which Islam historically expanded—and not in other regions of India? And within Bengal, why did Islamization occur at so much greater a rate in the east than in the west? Who converted and why? At what time? What, if anything, did "conversion" mean to contemporary Bengalis? And finally, between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries, in what ways did different generations and different social classes of Muslims in Bengal understand, construe, or even construct, Islamic civilization? In seeking answers to these questions, this study explores processes embedded in the delta's premodern history that may cast light on the evolution of Bengal's extraordinary cultural geography.
Bengal's historical experience was extraordinary not only in its widespread reception of Islam but also in its frontier character. In part, the thirteenth-century Turkish drive eastward—both to Bengal and within Bengal—was the end product of a process triggered by political convulsions in thirteenth-century Inner Asia. For several centuries before and after the Mongol irruption into West Asia, newly Islamicized Turks from Central Asia and the Iranian Plateau provided a ready supply of soldiers, both as slaves and as free men, for commanders such as Muhammad Bakhtiyar. Once within Bengal's fertile delta, these men pushed on until stopped only by geographical barriers. Surrounded on the north and east by mountains, and to the south by the sea, Bengal was the terminus of a continentwide process of Turko-Mongol conquest and migration. It was, in short, a frontier zone.
In reality, Bengal in our period possessed not one but several frontiers, each moving generally from west to east. One of these was the political frontier, which defined the territories within which the Turks and their successors, the Bengal sultans and governors of the Mughal Empire, minted coins, garrisoned troops, and collected revenue. A second, the agrarian frontier, divided settled agricultural communities from the forest, Bengal's natural state before humans attacked it with ax and plow. A third was the Islamic frontier, which divided Muslim from non-Muslim communities. A porous phenomenon, as much mental as territorial in nature, this last was the frontier that proved so fateful in 1947. Finally, all three frontiers were superimposed on a much older one, a frontier defined by the long-term eastward march of Sanskritic civilization in the Bengal delta. Characterized either by an egalitarian agrarian society organized around Buddhist monastic institutions or by a hierarchically ordered agrarian society presided over by Brahman priests, Sanskritic civilization in both its Buddhist and its Brahmanic forms had moved down the Gangetic Plain and into the Bengal delta many centuries before Muhammad Bakhtiyar's coup of 1204.
After the establishment of Muslim power in Bengal, the political frontier was extended as the new rulers and their successors overpowered or won over centers of entrenched agrarian interests. As aliens occupying the country by force of arms, Muslim soldiers and administrators were generally concentrated in garrison settlements located in or near pre-conquest urban centers. This was natural in those parts of the delta where the conquerors encountered developed agrarian communities, for by controlling the cities they could control the agriculturally rich hinterland, linked to cities by markets and revenue-paying networks. The Turkish occupation of Bengal thus followed the settlement pattern found throughout the early Delhi sultanate, anticipating in this respect the cantonment city employed by the British in their occupation of India in the nineteenth century.
Of a very different nature was Bengal's agrarian frontier, which divided the delta's cultivated terrain from the wild forests or marshlands that were as yet unpenetrated, or only lightly penetrated, by plow agriculture and agrarian society. Whereas the political frontier was man-made and subject to rapid movement, the agrarian frontier was more stable, slower-moving, and shaped by natural as well as human forces. Prominent among these natural forces was the historic movement of Bengal's rivers, which in the long run caused the northwestern and western delta to decay as their channels shifted increasingly eastward. As new river systems gave access to new tracts of land and deposited on them the silt necessary to fertilize their soil, areas formerly covered by dense forest were transformed into rice fields, providing the basis for new agrarian communities. Yet, although driven by natural forces, the movement of Bengal's agrarian frontier was also a human phenomenon, since it necessarily involved the arduous work of colonizing and settling new lands.
Our understanding of the third frontier, the cultural one, should not be biased by early Persian histories of the Turkish conquest, which typically speak of a stark, binary opposition between "Islam" and "infidelity" (kufr). Use of these terms has often given the impression that the rise of Muslim communities in Bengal was a corollary to, or simply a function of, the expansion of Turkish arms. In fact, however, the terms "Islam" and "infidelity" as used in these sources simply refer to the rulers and the ruled—that is, Persianized Turks who were assumed to be Muslim, and Bengali subjects who were assumed to be non-Muslim. Since large numbers of Bengali Muslims did not emerge until well after the conquest was completed, for the first several centuries after Muhammad Bakhtiyar's invasion, the political and cultural frontiers remained quite distinct geographically.
Each of Bengal's frontiers thus moved by its own dynamics: the Sanskritic frontier by the growth of Buddhist- or Brahman-ordered communities; the political frontier by the force of arms and the articulation and acceptance of the Muslim regime's legitimate authority; the agrarian frontier by the twin processes of riverine movement and colonization; and the Islamic frontier by the gradual incorporation of indigenous communities into a Muslim-oriented devotional life. Having their own laws of motion, these frontiers overlapped one another in various ways. For example, after having established a base in the northwestern corner of the delta, which for four hundred years remained the epicenter of its rule in Bengal, Turkish power moved swiftly to the revenue-rich southwest. There, where the rulers encountered a dense agrarian society, conquest by Turks did not involve the physical extension of the arable land, but simply the capture of the local revenue structure. On the other hand, in much of the eastern and southern delta, where field agriculture had not yet replaced thick forests, the political and agrarian frontiers collapsed into one. There, the territorial reach of Turkish domination normally stopped at the edge of forests, only penetrating further when the forest itself was cleared. Hence in the east, the expanding Turkish movement involved not only the incorporation of indigenous peoples into a new political system but the physical transformation of the land from marsh or forest into rice fields.
The interaction between the delta's Sanskritic, political, agrarian, and Islamic frontiers thus forms one of the great themes of Bengal's history, and it constitutes a central concern of this study. The theme is pursued in both of the book's chronologically distinct divisions. Part I treats the establishment and evolution of Indo-Islamic civilization from the early thirteenth century to the late sixteenth, for most of which time the delta region was ruled by kings of the independent Bengal sultanate. Chapter 1 sketches Bengal's cultural, political, and economic profile prior to the advent of Islamic rule. Chapter 2 explores how Central Asian conquerors, informed by medieval Perso-Islamic conceptions of political legitimacy, established themselves amidst a society that had inherited very different political and cultural traditions. Chapter 3 follows the activities of the earliest Sufis—Muslim mystics and holy men—who settled in the delta and reconstructs their own various encounters with Bengali culture. Chapter 4 examines the delta's economy and the sociocultural basis of Muslim and Hindu communities that crystallized under the sultanate. Since this discussion sets the stage for analysis of the origin of mass Muslim society, the following chapter, Chapter 5, steps out of the narrative and reviews past and present debates concerning "conversion" to Islam, both in medieval India generally and in Bengal particularly.
Part II explores the sociocultural transformations that took place between the late sixteenth and the mid-eighteenth centuries, when Bengal was incorporated into the Mughal Empire. Paradoxically, a substantial majority of Bengal's Muslim population emerged under a regime that did not, as a matter of policy, promote the conversion of Bengalis to Islam. This part of the book seeks resolution of this apparent paradox. Chapter 6 describes the rise and consolidation of the Mughals' authority in Bengal, while Chapter 7 reconstructs the ideological basis of their rule, exploring the place of Bengali culture and the Islamic religion in Mughal imperial culture. As the book moves from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to the eighteenth, the perspective becomes increasingly local in nature, with the result that political figures and events familiar to students of early- or mid-eighteenth-century history—Murshid Quli Khan, Aliverdi Khan, the rise of the East India Company, the battle of Plassey, the "Black Hole" of Calcutta, and so on—receive little or no mention at all. Attention is focused instead on the institutions through which provincial Mughal officials deepened the roots of their authority in the countryside at a time when power in Delhi, the Mughal capital, was steadily diminishing.
Imperial expansion on the Mughal periphery during imperial decline at the center thus constitutes the second apparent paradox with which Part II is concerned. Yet the principal emphasis of this part, as with the first, is on culture change, and in particular the growth of Islamic institutions and Muslim society. Thus Chapter 8 examines the political and cultural implications of agrarian growth in the Mughal period, and both Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 explore the role played by village mosques and shrines in the diffusion of Mughal authority and Islamic values in the region. Finally, in contrast to these two chapters, which analyze the politicoeconomic correlates of culture change, Chapter 10 examines the specifically religious dimensions of Islamization in premodern Bengal.
As to the periodization indicated in the book's title, one may legitimately ask why a cultural study ends with a political date—1760, the year the English East India Company became paramount in the Bengal region. For one thing, historians are always constrained by the chronological scope of their sources, and the intrusion of Englishmen into Bengal's revenue system abruptly ended the Persian documentation that forms the data base for the book's later chapters. A further reason for ending this study in 1760 is the demise of a patronage system that had played a decisive role in the articulation of both Mughal political culture and Islamic institutions. Although many of the social and cultural processes examined in these chapters continued into the later eighteenth century and even the nineteenth, the disappearance of imperial patronage as a principal motor behind them makes the year 1760 a convenient stopping point.
This book is written with several audiences in mind. For South Asians who understand Islamic history in the subcontinent in terms of an unassimilated "foreign" intrusion, the study explores how this religion, together with the Perso-Turkic civilization that carried it into the subcontinent, became indigenized in the cultural landscape of premodern Bengal. For Middle Easterners who understand Islam's historical and cultural center of gravity as lying between the Nile and the Oxus rivers, the book examines how and why Islamic civilization in the late medieval period became at least as vibrant and creative on the Bengali "periphery" as in the Middle Eastern "heartland." It also addresses the issue of why so many more Muslims reside outside the Middle East, especially in South Asia, than within it. Finally, this study seeks to reach Western readers for whom Islam's significant expansion was in the direction of Europe—a confrontation that, among other things, bequeathed to Europe and its cultural offshoots an image of Islam as a "militant" religion. I argue that Islam's more significant expansion lay in the direction of India, where Muslims encountered civilizations far more alien than those they met with in the European or Judeo-Christian worlds. Their responses to that encounter, moreover, proved far more creative; and in Bengal, at least, the meeting of Islamic and indigenous cultures led to an exceptional demographic development: the emergence of the world's second-largest Muslim ethnic community. This book is concerned with the nature of that encounter and its extraordinary outcome.

Larry Page's parents were both computer experts, so it was no surprise that he studied computer engineering at Stanford University. That's where he met Sergey Brin. Together, they developed a search engine that listed results according to the popularity o
Internet entrepreneur, computer scientist. Born Lawrence Page on March 26, 1973 in East Lansing, Michigan. Page's father Carl was a pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence and his mother taught computer programming. After earning a bachelor of science degree in engineering from the University of Michigan, Page decided to concentrate on computer engineering at Stanford University, where he met Sergey Brin.
As a research project at Stanford University, Page and Brin created a search engine that listed results according to the popularity of the pages, after concluding that the most popular result would often be the most useful. They called the search engine Google after the mathematical term "Googol," which is a 1 followed by 100 zeros, to reflect their mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the Web.
After raising $1 million from family, friends and other investors, the pair launched the company in 1998. Google has since become the world's most popular search engine, receiving more than 200 million queries each day. Headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon Valley, Google held its initial public offering in August 2004, making Page and Brin billionaires. Page continues to share responsibility for Google's day-to-day operations with Sergey Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt. In 2006, Google purchased the most popular Web site for user-submitted streaming videos, YouTube, for $1.65 billion in stock.

From left, Levy County Sheriff's Sgt. Max Long, Sheriff Bobby McCallum and Levy County Sheriff's Cpl. Lisa Starkey pose for a picture at October's Law Enforcement Appreciation Night.
The annual event, hosted by the Chiefland Woman's Club, honors the men and women who serve their communities in law enforcement and public safety. Long and Starkey were both presented with awards.
Ronnie LeCompte and Mandy Willis were just two of several to take home awards for service Oct. 22 during the event.
The Levy County Department of Public Safety (LCDPS) has added a new resource to its arsenal of public safety equipment to serve the citizens and visitors of Levy County.
On Nov. 1, Air Methods began 24-hour-a-day air transport services based out of the Levy County Public Safety Complex, located in Bronson.
This partnership has provided the citizens and visitors in Levy County with an Emergency Medical Service aircraft based in the County that one typically would not see in a rural setting.
Jeffery Allen Burrow, 29, of Trenton, was hospitalized in critical condition at U.F. Health's Shands Hospital in Gainesville due to injuries he received in an accident on Interstate 75 at the 338 mile marker on Thursday, Nov. 22 at 7:50 a.m. according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
Suspects took advantage of the Thanksgiving break last week to break into Bronson Middle High School and try picking up some spare cash, according to a spokesman for the Levy County Sheriff's Office.
Firefighters are dispatched to Landing Zones whenever an air ambulance is requested. With the addition of the air ambulance and flight crew stationed at the Levy Count Department of Public Safety Complex (LCDPS) 24/7, the Firefighter I class had the opportunity to meet with the crew and gain knowledge on the needs for providing a safe and secure landing zone.
LCDPS Class 1 firefighters were provided information on the minimum requirements needed for a landing zone, how to approach the aircraft, and how to assist in loading patients.
There are fresh faces on the bench in Levy County and elsewhere in the 8th Judicial Circuit due to resignations, retirements, death and annual rotations.

An abdominal ultrasound is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to make images of the abdomen (belly).
During the examination, an ultrasound machine sends sound waves into the abdominal area and images are recorded on a computer. The black-and-white images show the internal structures of the abdomen, such as the appendix, intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and urinary bladder.
A complete ultrasound of the abdomen evaluates all of the abdominal organs. A limited ultrasound of the abdomen evaluates one or multiple organs, but not all.
Doctors order an abdominal ultrasound when they're concerned about symptoms such as abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, abnormal liver or kidney function tests, or a swollen belly. Abdominal ultrasound tests can show the size of the abdominal organs and can help evaluate injuries to or diseases of the abdominal organs.
Specific conditions that ultrasound can help diagnose include:
Abdominal ultrasounds can be used to guide procedures such as needle biopsies or catheter insertion (to help ensure accurate placement of the needle or the catheter). Abdominal ultrasounds also are used to monitor the growth and development of a baby in the uterus during pregnancy.
In routine cases, children often require some prepping before an abdominal ultrasound, and your doctor may ask that your child not eat or drink anything for several hours before the test. In an emergency situation, however, an abdominal ultrasound may be performed without any preparation. You should tell the technician about any medications your child is taking before the test begins.
The abdominal ultrasound usually will be done in the radiology department of a hospital or in a radiology center. Parents usually can accompany their child to provide reassurance and support.
Your child will be asked to change into a cloth gown and lie on a table. The room is usually dark so the images can be seen clearly on the computer screen. A technician (sonographer) trained in ultrasound imaging will spread a clear, warm gel on the skin of the abdomen. This gel helps with the transmission of the sound waves.
The technician will then move a small wand (transducer) over the gel. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves and a computer measures how the sound waves bounce back from the body. The computer changes those sound waves into images to be analyzed. Sometimes a doctor will come in at the end of the test to meet your child and take a few more pictures. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes.
The abdominal ultrasound is painless. Your child may feel a slight pressure on the belly as the transducer is moved over the body, and the gel may feel wet or cold. You'll need to tell your child to lie still during the procedure so the sound waves can reach the area effectively. The technician may ask your child to lie in different positions or hold his or her breath briefly.
Babies might cry in the ultrasound room, especially if they're restrained, but this won't interfere with the procedure.
A radiologist (a doctor who's specially trained in reading and interpreting X-ray and ultrasound images) will interpret the ultrasound results and then give the information to your doctor, who will review the results with you. If the test results appear abnormal, your doctor may order further tests.
In an emergency, the results of an ultrasound can be available quickly. Otherwise, they're usually ready in 1-2 days. In most cases, results can't be given directly to the patient or family at the time of the test.
No risks are associated with an abdominal ultrasound. Unlike X-rays, radiation isn't involved with this test.
Some younger children may be afraid of the machinery used for the ultrasound. Explaining in simple terms how the abdominal ultrasound will be conducted and why it's being done can help ease any fears.
You can tell your child that the equipment takes pictures of the belly, and encourage him or her to ask the technician questions. Tell your child to try to relax during the procedure, as tense muscles can make it more difficult to get accurate results.
If you have questions about the abdominal ultrasound, speak with your doctor. You can also talk to the technician before the exam.

The CIMC celebrates 45 years of service to the citizens of Oklahoma in 2012-2013. The CIMC was the brainchild of Francis Tuttle in 1967. Known as the "architect" of Oklahoma's CareerTech system, Tuttle also wanted Oklahoma to produce its own curriculum. In the late 1960s, it was difficult for teachers to find high-quality curriculum, or even any curriculum. When curriculum was found, its quality was often inconsistent and its cost was often high. Many teachers had to spend long hours developing their own classroom or shop materials. Today, Oklahoma produces or acquires much of the curriculum it needs through the CareerTech system's own publisher, the Curriculum and Instructional Materials Center. The CIMC develops, produces and ships instructional products throughout Oklahoma and nationwide to customers such as high schools, technology centers, junior and community colleges, proprietary schools and government agencies.

Nah, Signum being shunted is a natural aspect of her character. She can't compete with Vita and the other lolis when it comes to fanservice targets that's why she's shown mostly as a background character in group images... ....and my main motivation for posting images depicting her in a more forward/protagonistic fashion.
