Michigan player led away in handcuffs after knocking opposing coach unconscious
A Michigan high school football player was led away in handcuffs after knocking an opposing coach unconscious in a post game fight after one team according to an account in the Oakland Press' MI Prep Zone.
After a game between Rochester Stoney Creek and West Bloomfield that was stopped with six seconds left after altercations due to accusation of running up the score Stoney Creek left the field without shaking hands.
A number of West Bloomfield coaches and players came across the field to confront the opposing coaching staff. As a Stoney Creek assistant tried to separate two assistant coaches, a West Bloomfield player punched the Stoney Creek coach, knocking him unconscious.
It is unknown whether the player will face assault charges.

Grievance Procedures
1. Informal Complaint Procedure. Students are encouraged to first attempt to resolve any problems, concerns, or complaints they might have by contacting DACC ADA Coordinator Ike Ledesma, Room 115. Mr. Ledesma, who has been designated to coordinate ADA compliance efforts at DACC, oversees this informal complaint procedure. The student will be advised as to options available, which may include the use of mediation, a letter to the professor, a telephone call, or another method amenable to the student. A written confidential record will be retained of the final outcome at the DACC ADA Coordinator's office.
2. Formal Grievance Procedure. In most cases it is faster and simpler to address the problem at the community college level; however, some students may feel it necessary to take their concerns to the Director of Institutional Equity/EEO, New Mexico State University. That office can be reached at 646-3635 (TTY: 646-7802). The formal grievance procedure requires that the student complete and file the New Mexico State University EEO Grievance Form within fifteen working days of the occurrence. Forms are available in room 117, DACC.
For further information, contact:
Amadeo "Ike" Ledesma
Vice President for Student Services
Doña Ana Community College
Voice: 575-527-7530
E-Mail: email@example.com

Maybe ET from the mystery vacant lot is living there and that's map of his home planet!
I wouldn't be that surprised - anything could be lurking in there! I love that yellow light shining on the yellowed tiles. This part of the station was closed up about 25 years ago, & I have never used it. I'm a bit nervous about what they'll do to it though.

Big Sunday Back to School Drive
Big Sunday is an awesome organization with a simple mission: "to build community through community service. [they] believe that everyone has some way that they can help somebody else."
Big Sunday is hosting a Back-to-School Drive. They will be collecting items at their office (6111 Melrose) on September 10-12, from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. On Thursday, September 13th, they will be collecting items all day. Starting at 6:30, volunteers can come to their office to help sort, count and pack all the items. Afterwards, they will be serving dinner for all the volunteers.
They received requests from two wonderful schools Venice High and Hamilton Middle School in Long Beach as well as the Children's Lifesaving Foundation in Santa Monica
Venice High: "We have a culinary program with no culinary teacher, we have a new media program with no film teacher and we have a STEM SLC with no trained engineering teacher or software for the program! There is absolutely no money for school supplies."
Hamilton Middle School in Long Beach: "In my 26 years as a Special Education Teacher at Hamilton, I have never seen our situation this urgent."
Each have made special back-to-school requests. (Please see the attached wish list. It includes everything from backpacks to computer paper to USB drives to colored pencils to energy bars.)
If you can help, or you want to get your office, faith group, school, club or neighborhood to help, please let them know! If you'd rather not shop, send a check and they will do the shopping for you!
Please contact Jack Arsenault at email@example.com if you can help, or with any questions you may have. Hope you can come! (And feel free to pass this on!)

The Graduate Center offers more than thirty doctoral programs in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, including History.
Learn about the Graduate Center's core faculty,
including Distinguished Professor David Joselit (pictured),
on the Faculty Profiles page.
Through its extensive public programming, the Graduate Center contributes to the intellectual and cultural vitality of New York City.
The Graduate Center has announced its
Doctoral Student Parental Accommodation Policies.
Support for the Graduate Center ensures continued excellence in arts and
sciences graduate education, research, and public programming.
Admission to the Ph.D Program in Art History is competitive. We receive around 150 applications each year, and accept only 10 students.
Students applying must submit:
Please do not send these items to the Ph.D Program in Art History directly. They are processed by the Office of Admissions.
The program admits students for the Fall term only. Completed applications with all supporting materials, including test scores and recommendations, must be in the Office of Admissions at the CUNY Graduate Center by January 1st. The Program reviews completed applications beginning in February. The Office of Admissions notifies students when the Committee reaches a decision. These notifications begin in March and continue through June.
All applications are reviewed by a committee comprising a cross-section of faculty members plus one graduate student. Each application is considered in its entirety, and the committee pays attention—in no particular order—to the following:
the student's record of academic achievement as reflected in the transcripts
the student's potential for graduate work as demonstrated by recommendations
the quality of the writing sample
the GRE scores
the student's background and reasons for pursuing a Ph.D. at The Graduate Center, as expressed in the personal statement.
All applicants to the Ph.D. Program in Art History should also familiarize themselves with our faculty members and recent course offerings.
At the moment, the Ph.D. Program in Art History holds two Open Days. The first, in the fall semester, is for prospective students interested in applying to study Modern and Contemporary. (For further information on this, see below.) The second, in the spring semester, is only for students who have been made the offer of a place, and for those on the waiting list.
It is recommended that prospective students interested in fields other than Modern and Contemporary email the faculty member(s) they are interested in working with and make an appointment to visit them at some point during the fall semester.
If you have specific questions about the program beyond the information available on the Graduate Center's website (e.g. about funding, time to degree, language requirements, etc), please contact the Art History office, who will be happy to make an appointment for you to talk to a relevant member of faculty. While you are also in the building, we also recommend that you speak to current students, as they are in the best position to tell you what it is like to study here.
As of Fall 2013, the Ph.D. Program in Art History offers seven Graduate Teaching Fellowships (GTFs) and three Tuition Fellowships, plus an optional MAGNET fellowship.
The GTFs are a five-year package of $25,000 per year. In the first year, students work in the department. In years two to five, students teach one course per semester in one of the CUNY colleges.
Tuition Fellowships cover tuition at in-state rates only, for five years.
Presidential MAGNET fellowships are available to African American and Latino/a students who are US citizens or permanent residents. These comprise a five-year package of $27,000 per year with additional research/travel budget.
Graduate Teaching and MAGNET Fellowships include eligibility for low-cost individual or family NYSHIP health insurance. See the Graduate Center's main admissions pages for further information about current tuition fees and other forms of fellowships and funding.
The Ph.D. Program in Art History is unique in that students are not expected to pair up with an advisor immediately upon entering the program. This is primarily because we have a large faculty drawn from the CUNY colleges, which makes the process of pairing up with an advisor a more organic process, allowing you to respond to input from a wide range of seminars and coursework.
The application form nevertheless invites you to specify members of faculty with whom you envisage working, and this is useful information for the Admissions Committee. Please bear in mind that Professors Emerita are not able to take on doctoral students.
We admit students with or without Master's degrees. The timeline for completion is slightly faster if you have a Master's degree - see the 'Timeline to Degree' charts here.
Most applicants have majored in art history as undergraduates. If you have not majored in art history, then we need to see at least 12 credits in art history on your transcript(s), and with excellent grades.
One of the strengths of the Ph.D Program in Art History is that it attracts curators, and we welcome applicants who have practical experience in museums and galleries. However, this is not always equivalent to academic qualifications. Even if you have many years of experience within a museum or gallery, we still look for evidence of academic ability in art history (12 credits, either as an undergraduate, graduate, or non-matriculated student) in order to assess your potential for doctoral research. This is why we always prefer to see letters of recommendation from academics rather than from a professional work context (museums, editorial, etc).
Each year we prepare a list for the College Art Association. The 2013 list can be downloaded here.
The Ph.D Program in Art History is a fully academic degree; there is no studio or practice-based component. We do not accept practicing artists looking to pursue their own work in tandem with doctoral research.
Around eighty percent of students in the Ph.D Program in Art History are working within modern and contemporary art. We offer broad range of faculty who can be called upon as potential advisors.
Students have first-hand teaching experience. Rather than being a Teaching Assistant (TA) to a professor, you will have your own course and students at one of the colleges.
Current students tell us that they appreciate the friendly and collaborative atmosphere of the Graduate Center. Students are all working in the city—either as teachers or as professionals—and there is a strong spirit of mutual support, rather than of competition.
The Ph.D. Program in Art History invites everyone, especially African-American and Latino/Latina students, to come to the Graduate Center to find out more about studying Modern and Contemporary Art. Join us for an informational meeting and admissions workshop for prospective students in November each year (date tbc). This "open day" will provide an opportunity to meet current students and faculty specializing in these fields and ask questions about the program. Students interested in fields other than Modern and Contemporary should contact faculty members directly.

PROVIDENCE — Citing changed circumstances, the state Ethics Commission says Cumberland Town Councilman Scott Schmitt may participate and vote after all in matters where attorney Scott Partington, a former council president, represents clients.
Last February, the commission issued the opposite opinion, saying Schmitt must recuse himself in matters involving Partington because Partington's law office rents space in a building that was owned at the time by ARS Holdings, a company owned by Schmitt and his wife.
That meant, the commission said, that there was a "business relationship" between Schmitt and Partington.
Since that time, however, and after being forced to recuse from at least four council votes, Schmitt said he transferred full ownership of the business to his wife.
That, the commission staff said in an opinion that was upheld on a 5-1 vote, was enough distance between Schmitt and Partington to allow the councilman to vote on issues Partington brings to the council.
"While the business associate relationship between (Schmitt's wife) and Mr. Partington remains intact, by virtue of their landlord/tenant relationship," says the opinion written by senior staff attorney Katherine
D'Arezzo, "the Code of Ethics does not prohibit (Schmitt) from taking an
official action that impacts his spouse's business associates, unless that
action is likely to have a corresponding financial impact upon the
Dr. Robert Salk, the lone no vote on the commission, argued that it would.
Revenue accrued by Schmitt's wife's real estate firm goes to benefit the
family income, Salk asserted.
Other commission members felt there was enough separation between the two,
particularly considering there was a lease agreement between ASA and
Partington's law firm, that any vote Schmitt takes would not affect the
landlord/tenant relationship.
Schmitt told the commission that on one of the key votes from which he
recused himself, a zoning change for a Blackstone Valley Prep school in
Valley Falls, he would have voted against the side Partington represented.

U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, listens at a rally in Livonia on Nov. 5, 2012. Bentivolio's office is concerned about a lack of applicants for U.S. military academies. / Paul Sancya/Associated Press
WASHINGTON New U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Milford is trying to get word out to people in his district: If you applied for or were told you were nominated for one of the military service academies by one of the previous holders of his office, get in touch with him immediately.
The application deadline has either passed or is bearing down quickly for the service academies, and Bentivolios office says it received no applications or nominations from the staffs of previous congressmen that occupied his seat. Bentivolio, a Republican, assumed office three weeks ago after a seven-week stint by Belleville Democrat David Curson, who served out the remainder of former U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotters term.
McCotter stepped down last July after it was determined that his campaign had submitted more than 1,000 fraudulent, duplicated or otherwise invalid signatures in support of his campaign. McCotter, of Livonia, wasnt implicated in the scandal but resigned his office after five terms, clearing the path for Bentivolio, a political newcomer, to win the full term to the newly redrawn 11th Congressional District.
Bentivolios spokesman, Matthew Chisholm, said Tuesday that an individual reported he or she had secured a nomination for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York, but no record of it could be found by the office. The office expected to check with West Point and is asking anyone else in the district who may have applied for or been told theyd received a nomination to contact Bentivolios staff immediately
It also is telling anyone interested in applying for nomination to one of the service academies to do so by Jan. 31.
Application instructions can be found on Bentivolio's official website.
For application information or to discuss a previous application or nomination, contact Joe Salvia in Bentivolios office at 248-859-2982.

"One week, one community, one vision for excellence."
That's the tagline for PEX Week 2013, when over 400 process excellence professionals will descend on Orlando next January to discuss and discover the future of customer-centric process management strategies. Mark McGregor, Principal Analyst in MWD Advisor's Process research program, is part of the speaker line up at this global event. He's busy preparing for an imminent business trip to Australia, but I managed to grab five minutes of his time to find out what's going to be happening at PEX Week.
Editor: So Mark… "one week, one community, one vision for excellence" … what does that mean to you?
Mark: For me, it's all about people, process and technology, all working together in perfect harmony to deliver effective change and consistently high results. Perhaps it's a pipe dream, but until we can all learn to work and play together, then we are all part of the problem. It's time for us all to work together and ensure that we remain part of the solution.
Editor: That all sounds very "nice"! But just how real is it? You've got a lot of practical experience as a seasoned BPM practitioner and a Six Sigma Black Belt… is it really that simple?
Mark: Not always! And that's why gatherings like PEX Week are so important to help move things forward. One of the topics I'm really looking forward to exploring with attendees is the clash between Process Excellence and BPM. It seems that BPM folks have a tendency to talk down to their Lean and Six Sigma cousins, often seeing them as technological Luddites; on the other hand non-BPM folks see the BPM teams as nothing more than technology zealots. Seems to me that the only way we are going to sort this out—and sort it out we must—is by taking more time to listen and learn and less time talking and preaching.
Editor: What's the risk if that doesn't happen?
Mark: In the long run if we can't unite our efforts at improving processes with intelligent use of process automation, then we run the risk of everybody being sidelined. With the mix of people who will be attending this major gathering, it seems to be a great place to do some listening. So if anyone out there has a view or think you might have some answers be sure to let me know and we can try and arrange to meet while we are at the event. You may even be interested to hear what I've already learned on this topic.
Editor: I know that one of the things you're passionate about is the whole topic of change—to what degree will your experience and insight here manifest itself at PEX Week?
Mark: Having a vision for process excellence is one thing, but the reality of making change happen is often more challenging. Earlier this year I presented a webinar for the PEX Process Excellence Network in which I discussed some of the barriers to change and how we can overcome them. The session proved really popular, so I'm delighted to be able to explore this subject further at PEX Week alongside Vincent Pierce, SVP Business Transformation at Office Depot. Together we're going to explore tried and tested tactics to help people remove barriers to change.
Editor: What are you personally hoping to get out of this event?
Mark: For me events like these provide a great opportunity to listen to and learn from people out there walking the talk. With many people sharing their stories and experiences I know that we'll all learn a great deal about what success looks like inside organisations. I'm really looking forward to hearing these stories and identifying what helps move these companies' improvement initiatives from one-off projects to creating a culture of continuous change.
Editor: Thanks for your time Mark and for that sneak peek of what people can expect. What's the best way for people to contact you in advance of the event or while you're there to arrange a meeting?
Mark: Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com—I look forward to some great discussions! I'd also just like to add that as a PEX Week partner, MWD Advisors is able to offer enterprises a 20% discount on the attendance fee. Just quote PEXWEEK_MWDA when you make your booking. See you there!
Editor: Thanks Mark.

Everyone likes that time they get to relax and have a meal at their favorite restaurant. This is not possible is the restaurant does not meet a certain set standards. You have the right to enjoy the best food since it is important for your health and still it is being paid for. There are many types of restaurants in Europe. There are those that deal in fast foods while others deal in causal and fine dining. Each restaurant will have something new to offer to the people in Europe. For those people looking to enjoy different types of cuisines, you can be assured that the restaurants can provide most of them. Here is what makes a good restaurant.
Features of restaurants in Europe
– Whenever you get into a restaurant, it is easy to feel that the atmosphere is just welcoming. That first impression is very important to the customers and the restaurants know that. They ensure that the restaurant is elegant, accommodating on all levels. Once you enter a restaurant, it is obvious to be impressed and place an order to enjoy their meals.
– Many people would always want a restaurant that is clean enough to their standards. That is why some people will touch the table to feel if it is clean or not. Having clean restaurants seems like a must for those located in Europe. The clean restaurants give the customer the feeling that their food is also handled with the same care. It is rare to find people getting sick from having a meal at their favorite restaurant.
– You may have the best food in town, but if the waiting service is not done properly, then expect no one to come back to eat at the restaurant. Most restaurants in Europe are characterized by having the best services provided to its clients. You can be sure that many people will come back to a restaurant simply because of the service offered. It is the same thing for the tourists visiting from a different country. They would want some top places they can refer their friends while in Europe for a meal.
– The food is the most important part of eating at a restaurant. Most people will look at how the food is prepared. Does it taste right? How does it smell? If the food is prepared well, and presented in the correct way, many people will always come back to the restaurant. The restaurants in Europe are known for providing the best meals that will keep you going back for more.
Restaurant is a common place either to bring your date or do some slightly formal business meetings. Some people tend to choose impressive restaurants due to its relaxed environment, delicious food and the formal impression that it gives. A good place to have an eased conversation, especially about business. As you can observe, most people who eat in fancy restaurants also have fancy cars that they arrive with. Based from my observation, the most preferred car by these customers is the BMW X6.
How do customers will know if the restaurant that they wanted to visit is really worth it? Thanks to food bloggers and restaurant critics that help people out in evaluating whether it is worth their time to try a certain restaurant or not. Food blogging and restaurant review is now popular that almost everyone does it; they simply take pictures of the food, evaluate its taste, and check the location and ambience of the place. If you have your own blog site that wants to promote, you can check out third party websites to buy web traffic. Most bloggers recommend this website if you want more visitors.
With several people wanting to build their own businesses, a restaurant is one of the top choices that everyone wants to have. But building your own business can be quite tough, especially if you don't have any experience yet. If you search on the internet, you will find 1minutereview.org that offers several Marketing Automation tools. It also has a 'versus comparison' feature like Infusionsoft VS Ontraport, to help you in deciding which software is the best for you to use.
Restaurant popularity is important to attract more customers. In order to gain more customers, businesses maximize the use of internet by online advertisements, reviews and blogs. A well-known food blogger's review is really important because many people follow their social media accounts. It may increase or decrease the restaurant's reputation. Therefore, marketing strategy is important when dealing with customers online. For a website like Reach network they offer a very promising software that gives you an alternative to slow online marketing techniques by giving you the chance to create custom marketing campaigns.

Tokyo (AFP) Sept 14, 2012
After Germany and Switzerland, Japan on Friday became the third country to call time on nuclear energy, a decision motivated by last year's earthquake-induced Fukushima disaster.
Following is a checklist of the main countries retreating on nuclear power, and those who intend to push ahead with it.
Japan has followed Germany and Switzerland which decided last year to phase out nuclear energy after the Fukushima disaster. Italy, which had plans to relaunch a nuclear power programme, abandoned them after the Japanese disaster and an ensuing referendum in which its voters came out strongly against. Belgium also plans to phase out nuclear power between 2016 and 2025.
Several countries have confirmed their wish to continue with nuclear energy for various reasons, pointing in particular to the necessity to guarantee energy supplies without depending on imported fossil fuels or because they see in nuclear power an indispensable way of reducing CO2 emissions.
Those countries include France, Britain, Russia, China, India and the United States. However in the latter country, nuclear projects are threatened by competition from shale gas, which is emerging as a major new homegrown energy source.
Some of the countries in question intend to build new nuclear plants. They include China and Britain, which wants to renew its whole nuclear park, as well as South Africa, which wants to add six new power stations in addition to the one it already has.
A whole list of countries wants to adopt nuclear energy, notably the Gulf states which currently produce their electricity from oil and gas and want to save their hydrocarbon resources.
The list includes, at different stages of development, countries like Poland, Turkey, Jordan, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

The Pentagram was used by Christians in much of Christianity's history prior to the late 20th Century to represent the five wounds of Christ. It represents the five senses, the five fingers. It was a symbol of protection against evil used by Medieval Christians. It represented the five joys of the Virgin Mary: annunciation, nativity, resurrection, ascension, and assumption. It also represents the Five Vitues of Knighthood: noble generosity, fellowship, purity, courtesy, and compassion. This is why it is on Sir Gawin's shield. The very idea of a Pentagram for satan, evil, or witchcraft seems very odd and alien to my mind. But the people of this generation are temporal immigrants, and did not get the classical training education once provided.September 28 2010 at 8:15 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
This woman couldn't handle her own finances, and you think she is going to "spend" your tax dollers effectly? When uninformed, uneducated, pretty faces lie their way into America's forefront as top candidates, we are in deep trouble. How did Sharron Angle get this far to begin with? How did Sarah Palin make it to top news billing? Christine O'Donnell? Michelle Bachmann? These women appeal to white-power-loving right-wing men whose forefathers wore white sheets--men who are angry that a "person of color" lives in the White House. That's why their well-known chant is "We want our country back!" It has nothing to do with taxes, patriotism, or tea partiesSeptember 27 2010 at 11:04 AM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down Reply
The true test of a principled person is if they can apply the same rules to every situation, even when it causes some damage to their own previously held believes or positions. I ask every Republican out there who state that the media should not take into account things Ms ODonnell has said or done in the past to also apply that same principle to our president and the Democrats. Please step forward and also condemn the birthers, Newt Gingrich and all the others who drag every Dem through the mud for not just things they actually said or did, but also for outrageous extrapolations of how they supposedly think. You can't have it both ways and still be credible. So either complain about all personality smears by everyone, or just live with it when it happens to your side.September 27 2010 at 8:55 AM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down Reply

It's so easy to throw around statements about someone and for those too lazy to go back and do research, perhaps you can get them to stick. For those of us who don't mind doing the rearch, that's another thing altogether. So far, I haven't found anything illegal in what this candidate has done. Certainly not in using campaign funds on rent when you are using part of your home for your campaign headquarters. It is unfortunate that we elect people because of how much money they have to spend. I also find it unfortunate that the left always says "someone isn't qualified to be dog catcher" when they don't like someone. What's wrong with being a dog catcher anyway? It's a perfectly legitimate job that requires certain qualifications.September 24 2010 at 11:17 AM Report abuse Permalink -4 rate up rate down Reply
Actually, according to campaign finance laws, it IS illegal to pay your mortgage with your campaign funds, even if you DO use part of your home for your campaign headquarters. You can be reimbursed by the campaign for a reasonable amount based on home much of your home is used, but if she wrote a check out of a campaign account for her rent than she did break the law and should be treated just like a politican you do not like or you are a hypocrite. I just want to know how many of her supporters on this board will pull their support if she is found to have broken the law. It would be hilarious if they did not, for in effect, the Tea Parties are saying, "We want to get red of Democrats and Republican who are corrupt and replace them with Tea Baggers who are corrupt."

The first entry in Enoch's new "Scandalous Brides" series finds young widow Diane Benchley returning to London and opening an exclusive gentleman's gaming club in the family home. Diane holds a grudge against Oliver, the rakish Marquis of Haybury, for abandoning her in Vienna shortly after her husband's death, so she decides to use blackmail as a means to get his assistance. Oliver is determined to have Diane, so he is willing to comply. This enjoyable story is an unusual twist on the Regency romance, offering a somewhat unlikable heroine. Multi-award-winning narrator Anne Flosnik delivers a terrific performance. VERDICT This will appeal to fans of Christina Dodd, Julia Quinn, and Sabrina Jeffries.--Donna Bachowski, Orange Cty. Lib. Syst., Orlando, FL[Page 38]. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Enoch (A Matter of Scandal) will have readers tittering behind their fans at this hilarious Regency. Diane Benchley and her husband fled London just ahead of their angry creditors. Years later, Diane returns as a wealthy widow--if appearances can be believed. Diane is passionate, strong-minded, and determined to never be poor again, so she stuns the ton by opening an exclusive gentlemen's gaming club. Most shocked of all is her old flame, Oliver Warren, the marquis of Haybury, especially when Diane blackmails him with a damaging secret to get his help with learning how to run a business. Oliver's attempts to atone for abandoning Diane and win her trust again are simultaneously seductive and heartwarming, and readers will cheer his tender efforts as well as Diane's bold entrepreneurship.

Fred & Ruby's (Lincoln) (Parkway Lanes)
You all probably know or have heard that the burgers are good at Fred & Ruby's (and they are). But Tuesdays for lunch is the hot beef plate, and let me tell you, it's Really Quite Nice, and pretty close to the perfect hangover cure.
I'm not normally a fan of white bread covered in gravy, but it's something of a requisite for this dish. The roast beef is fresh and you better get there before noon because they run out of the special by around then. The only real drawbacks are the frozen niblets of corn and the gravy can be a bit over-gelatinous in spots (the Pantry across the street does a good hot beef plate all days of the week).
Do yourself a favor and drink too much on a Monday night, get up and out of bed on Tuesday, and hit up Parkway Lanes for a special treat (large fountain Pepsi recommended as a food/drink pairing).

Georgia Says
Morning News, Savannah, Georgia, on arming teachers:
School officials across Georgia should advance to the head of the class when it comes to arming teachers. According to published reports, few, if any, school districts plan to do it, even though a sweeping state law goes into effect Tuesday and expands where Georgians can legally carry firearms.
On July 1, each district has the option of arming teachers or staff, but requiring them to set training schedules. In other words, just giving a pistol to the staffer who's closest to the front door was never an option, although that's of little comfort.
Law-abiding Georgians have a constitutional right to own and carry firearms.
But the idea of arming teachers, paraprofessionals, principals, secretaries and others employed in school districts, as a way to prevent or bring down killers who prey on school children, was poorly conceived and mostly motivated by election-year politics.
If a school district has a public safety concern — and many of them do — then they should hire professionals. Putting campus police in the hallways is more responsible than giving pistols and shooting lessons to math teachers or lunchroom monitors.
Georgia isn't the first state to respond to school violence by allowing staff to carry guns.
After 20 children and six adults died during a 2012 elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., at least nine states passed bills in 2013 authorizing armed school personnel, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Other states had similar programs in place before that shooting. In 2014, at least 14 more states including Georgia introduced similar bills.
Phillip Hartley, an attorney who works with the Georgia Schools Boards Association and dozens of local boards, talked to a room of board members about the issue at a recent conference. He said he felt a "reluctance to be the first" without a serious push from parents.
"There just hasn't been that kind of groundswell," Mr. Hartley said.
Give school officials an "A'' for using good judgment about an idea that's a dud.
The Augusta Chronicle, Georgia, on citizens' religious beliefs:
If you like your religious freedoms, you can keep them. For now.
The U.S. Supreme Court narrowly ruled Monday that business owners with religious objections can't be forced to pay for women's birth control under the Obamacare law.
The 5-4 opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, held that imposing the contraceptive mandate on closely held corporations violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Essentially, the court said if you are morally opposed to birth control or abortion, you shouldn't have to buy it for others just because you offered them a job.
Though the ruling specifically dealt with the Hobby Lobby chain and other companies whose owners have deeply held religious views, it is really a First Amendment victory for all Americans.
"Today's decision was a victory for freedom," the National Center for Public Policy Research said. "Because a person who does not have the right to order his or her professional and personal life in accordance with his or her religious beliefs does not have freedom at all."
It is the first major challenge to Obamacare to come before the court since the justices upheld the law's individual requirement to buy health insurance two years ago. This will send the Obama administration hunting for another way to give women free contraception if they can't get through their employers' insurance plans.
Had the mandate been upheld, a company objecting to the contraceptive mandate would have had three choices: violate their faith; pay ruinous fines; or go out of business.
The ruling applies to businesses so closely held that there is no essential difference between the corporation and its owners. Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby, which employs more than 15,000 full-time workers in 41 states, was founded by a family of evangelical Christians.
The other major company involved in the case, Pennsylvania-based cabinet company Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., is owned by a Mennonite family.
What's more frightening than the contraception mandate the Obama administration dismissively tried to cram down employers' throats through the Affordable Care Act is the fact that it was nearly upheld as law - only a single Supreme Court justice stood in the way.
Freedom in this country is hanging by a thread.

Millennium Travel and Promotions, a New Smyrna Beach company, is under investigation by the Florida Attorney General's Office over allegations of unfair and deceptive trade practices.
Millennium redeems travel prizes for companies like Global Vacation Network (GVN), a vacation travel club that offers consumers free travel and gifts for attending sales presentations. Dozens of consumers have complained Millennium does not honor the vouchers for the free flights and vacations.
Local 6 has been investigating the relationship between GVN, Millennium Travel and Promotions, and US Airlines (a non-airline marketing the Global's sales presentations).
Dethra Thomas and her husband attended a presentation a few months ago. She says the experience was stressful, and the salesmen aggressive.
"Pushy, very pushy, like a car salesman," she describes. "First, he said 'this is going to be $12,000.' Then he went down to $6,000. He went down to $4,000. Another guy comes in and says, 'We have a package for $3000.' Then he was, like, 'how about $2,000?'"
Thomas says she and her husband had no idea that the US Airlines invitation would land them at a sales presentation until almost 11 o'clock at night.
"The lights are off. These two people are in here. We don't know them," she explains.
Afraid she and her husband would be there all night, she finally agreed to a $2,000 package. They're stuck with it, regretting every cent they paid. The package includes two vacation weeks at GVN resorts around the world; members must also pay $159 per week they take, plus a $379 annual fee.
GVN managers claim their product is not a time-share, because property is not deeded.
That's news to Dethra and her husband.
"I encourage anyone to do research before you do anything," she says.
The research is not hard to find. A simple Google search finds complaints across the country about GVN, US Airlines, and Millennium. Local 6 conducted an undercover investigation into Millennium in 2005, and documented blackout dates the company was imposing on consumers. Of 365 days on the calendar, Millennium blacked out 343, leaving only 22 departure days for consumers to choose from.
The Florida Attorney General's website describes its investigation into Millennium. The AG says its probe has been ongoing since 2009.
Millennium's office is located in an unmarked building in New Smyrna Beach. When managers there were asked about the Attorney General's investigation, Local 6 was asked to leave.
"You can ask me nothing," a manager who refused to identify himself said. "Call my attorney…Goodbye. Get out of my face."
Consumers who have complaints about travel companies like GVN or Millennium should file those complaints with the AG's office.

A duck, pursued by a fox, escapes to the center of a perfectly circular pond. The fox cannot swim, and the duck cannot take flight from the water. The fox is four times faster than the duck. Assuming the fox and duck pursue optimum strategies, is it possible for the duck to reach the edge of the pond and fly away without being eaten? If so, how?

Publisher, eXperience, inc.
Published today, 101 Lesser Known Facts Related to the Attack on Pearl Harbor, written by Douglas Shinsato, is a "tourist's guide" covering the political, economic and military tensions that led to US involvement in World War II.
His lesser known facts are based on the research he did for two translations. The first, into English, was the autobiography of Mitsuo Fuchida, leader of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The second, into Japanese, was the memoir of Elaine Fischel, a member of the American legal team at the Tokyo War Crimes Trial, which defended Japan's top two admirals and Emperor Hirohito's political advisor.
101 Lesser Known Facts Related to the Attack on Pearl Harbor begins in 1853 with the arrival at Tokyo Bay of the US Navy's Black Ships, which forcibly opened Shogunate Japan to the rest of the world. This destabilized feudal Japan, led to a civil war, and put Japan on a path of modernization, militarization and imperial conquest.
Their victory in the Russo-Japan War--that resulted in the annihilation of the Russian Asiatic and Baltic fleets--meant that Japan was the major military power in the Asiatic Pacific. This posed a threat to America's newly won colony, the Philippines. Consequently, the US Navy began war planning against the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1905.
Several of the lesser known events and facts are based on the author's discussions with Pacific War participants or their family members. The 101 facts include events following the attack and conclude with lessons from the Tokyo War Crimes Trial.
"I have known Douglas Shinsato for many years, and I am pleased that he has puttogether "101 Facts" that help to explain the events leading up to the Pacific War.The "101 Facts" you are about to read cover what I believe are the major reasonsthat Japan went to war with the Allies, in general, and the United States,specifically. They cover the political, military, economic and diplomatic issuessurrounding the decision to attack Pearl Harbor.I have written many articles and a book about the diplomatic history related to thePacific War. My grandfather, Shigenori Togo, was Japan's Foreign Minister fromOctober, 1941 until September, 1942. He tried to prevent war with the UnitedStates and was removed from the Cabinet. When it was clear that Japan would godown in defeat, in April, 1945, Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki asked him to join theCabinet in an effort to end the war.I know that you will enjoy this concise book of facts leading up to the attack onPearl Harbor."Shigehiko Togo, Former Washington Post Reporter and Author of "A Biography ofMy Grandfather, Shigenori Togo"
The facts in this book are part of history, but they can teach us lessons about key
issues that we all face today: national ambitions; cultural and religious differences; immigration issues; economic instability and sanctions; spying; and doublestandards for applying the rule of law.
I hope that readers will learn at least one new fact about the attack that changed
the course of world history.

If you ever wondered how to make black look edgy and cool then take a few notes from Dakota Fanning. The young starlet looked vampire chic in an all black Acne ruffle tiered dress with a cascading ruffled jacket. An all black outfit can be bland if you don't have the right accessories or details to individualize the look. Fanning's choice of ruffles and a layered silver necklace add a feminine touch while the leather gloves and suede over the knee boots pull the look together. Black never looked so cool.

Understanding the Magnetic Shape Memory System Fe–Pd–X by Thin Film Experiments and First Principle Calculations
In: Advanced Engineering Materials, Jg. 14 (2012) ; Nr. 8, S. 724-749
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Physik
Fakultät für Physik » Theoretische Physik
The magnetic shape memory alloy Fe70Pd30 is of particular interest for novel microactuator and sensor applications. Here we review the underlying physical and material science concepts by combining first principle calculations with combinatorial and epitaxial film studies. We address the following questions: What is the origin of the martensitic transformation? Can the addition of third elements improve the MSM properties? What is changing for epitaxial films and how can one obtain freestanding films?

The chefs entertain you with fire, food, and fun in one of three Hibachi dining rooms designed to accommodate parties of any size, or enjoy some sushi in the lounge, at the indoor bar, or on the huge patio. ROBOKYO is Westmoreland County's first and only authentic Japanese Restaurant. ROBOKYO is located at 117 Toll House Road, Hempfield Township, Greensburg, PA 15601 in the historic Toll House Inn. Originally constructed in1790 as a stagecoach stop on the Old Lincoln Highway. In 2007 the exterior of the building was restored and the interior was transformed into ROBOKYO.
ROBOKYO only buys the best ingredients from reputable suppliers. The chefs must approve all of the meats, seafood, and vegetables, upon delivery, each and every day. All of these ingredients are stored at proper temperatures in an all stainless steel kitchen that was constructed in 2013 to maximize freshness and maintain quality. All ROBOKYO chefs are vigorously trained by 25 year Hibachi Chef, Juan G., to maintain his high quality standards. The Hibachi chefs at ROBOKYO share Juan's vision to serve quality, delicious meals in a safe, professional, and entertaining manner.
The next time you visit ROBOKYO pay attention to the food when it touches the table. The vegetables are all fresh, never frozen. The steaks and chicken are the proper color. The seafood is plump and fresh. The fried rice is cooked with 7 unique ingredients to give it a signature color and taste. The most popular sauce at ROBOKYO, Yum-Yum Sauce, is Chef Juan's closely guarded signature recipe. Often imitated but never duplicated, ROBOKYO Yum-Yum Sauce is the best Hibachi dipping sauce around. The second most popular sauce at ROBOKYO, Ginger Salad Dressing, is fresh and delicious. The Ginger Salad Dressing is made using only fresh and healthy ingredients. In addition to enjoying the Ginger Salad Dressing at ROBOKYO, it can be purchased for your enjoyment at home. Whole Foods Market sells ROBOKYO Ginger Dressing, ensuring this product has been thoroughly tested and meets the strict guidelines and healthy standards that Whole Foods Market maintains.
Every weekend there is Live Local Music on our patio. Some of the area's best talent will fill the air with their music while guests enjoy cocktails and cuisine.
The Patio menu has been updated for the 2014 summer season including many American menu items in addition to the ROBOKYO appetizer and sushi favorites.
ROBOKYO Hibachi is a fan favorite and eating it outside has been a challenge prior to 2014. Beginning this year, ROBOYKO has Steak, Chicken, Shrimp, Scallop, and Lobster Fried Rice, all served with Yum-Yum Sauce, on the patio menu. Add a side of fresh hibachi vegetables and trade in the onion volcano for sunshine.

But what about next year? How will some of these old-timers play? Will the fall off? Do they have one year left in them? I did some research and tried to match the players up with guys from the past who are most comparable. The one thing about all of these players that separates them from the others? They've had no major injuries. Nicks here and there, but nothing really major, just the type of injuries you would expect from players who are nearly 15 years in the league.
Kobe Bryant: 33 years old (as of next season), 48,000+ minutes, 14 seasons
Dirk Nowitzki: 33 years old, 41,000+ minutes, 12 seasons
Steve Nash: 37 years old, 38,000+ minutes, 14 seasons
Paul Pierce: 34 years old (as of next season), 40,000+ minutes, 12 seasons
Ray Allen: 36 years old, 45,000+ minutes, 14 seasons
I took one comparison and tried to match up the minutes played. For example, Bryant has amassed 48,000 minutes. MJ didn't reach that number until his final season in a Wizards' uniform, so that's the season I will be comparing to…
*** *** ***
Ray Allen (2010-2011)- per 36 minutes: 16.5 ppg…3.4 rpg…2.7 apg…1.0 spg…49, 44 & 88 percentages
Reggie Miller (2002-2003)- per 36 minutes: 15.0 ppg…2.9 rpg…2.9 apg…1.1 spg…44, 36 & 90 percentages
It's pretty obvious which way Allen is going. His numbers have been dropping every season since he came to Boston (with the slight exception of 2009, when KG was hurt). But if Miller is the blueprint, Allen should be fine. In Miller two final seasons after 2002-03, he saw his production drop (predictably) before rising back to nearly 17, 3 & 2.5 (per 36) in his final season at 39 years old. This might be because that happened to be the year Artest missed because of his suspension and the entire organization was in flux.
Still Allen should have at least two more years of the production he's giving now considering he's younger and probably an even better shooter than Miller ever was. With his numbers slightly down, but his shooting percentage is higher than it's ever been, it's obvious what's happening with Jesus: he's getting less shots, but the ones he IS getting are great looks.
Kobe Bryant (2010-2011)- per 36 minutes: 26.9 ppg…5.4 rpg…5.0 apg…1.3 spg…45, 32 & 83 percentages
Michael Jordan (2002-2003)- per 36 minutes: 19.5 ppg…5.9 rpg…3.7 apg…1.5 spg…45, 29 & 82 percentages
This is a tough comparison. Jordan was 39, turning 40, and retired after the season so Kobe is entering territory that not many perimeter players have ever gone to. The amazing thing about Bryant's year last season was while his averages were down, so were his minutes. Per 36 minutes, he actually averaged the third-highest point total of his career (that's either a good thing or a bad thing if you're a Laker fan). Still, he fell off in the playoffs.
Actually, maybe a better comparison for Kobe is John Havlicek (53,000+ career minutes). The season he crossed Bryant's minute barrier (48,000), Havlicek averaged (per 36) 17.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 4.9 apg with 45/82 percentages at 36 years old. The following season, his last, those numbers dropped slightly to 17, 4 & 4 with 45/86 percentages. That doesn't tell us a whole lot besides Bryant's numbers will probably drop slightly. Really, there is no way to tell what will happen with Kobe. He's in uncharted waters to a degree for similar off guards. He could play one more great year and fall off or maybe slide into retirement. Who knows?

Pregnancy and giving birth are usually normal, healthy processes
Medical interventions are kept to a minimum, but are available if needed and desired. We provide the highest quality care for each pregnancy and birth. Our care is designed to enable the family to return home as soon as possible.
Family is the Center of This Experience
Each family is special. We view each family as a unit working together with their healthcare team.
We work with a caring and cooperative spirit. We continually strive to improve our services and keep our costs affordable. As a holistic healthcare team, we are concerned about our patients' physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We feel honored to care for each family and participate in the birth of their baby.
We recognize that the birth of a baby is a family event.
Based on your wishes, we welcome spouses, partners, children, parents and friends. In fact, women who have significant emotional support during birth may have fewer Caesarean sections, require less pain medication, have less postpartum depression, continue breast-feeding longer and have more positive memories of their childbirth experience.
Nearly all women find that the assistance of someone who can provide steady, caring support during pregnancy, labor and birth is extremely helpful and meaningful. Your support person may be a family member, partner or friend. Our nurses are also expert providers of support. At the time of birth, to promote patient safety, the number of support people may be limited. Your primary support person may stay with you throughout your hospital stay.
Options for pain management and delivery
There are many options to deal with the pain of childbirth. Our goal is to honor your wishes while you remain in control of your body. Medications are available as needed. Anesthesiologists are on staff 24 hours a day. Other options include a variety of positions, use of the shower, bringing your favorite music, breathing and relaxation techniques. We will work with you and your partner to give birth in a position that feels right to you.

Emma Roberts may not have made the shortlist of actresses included in our recent "Who should play Katniss?" poll, but that doesn't mean the 19-year-old "Scream 4" star doesn't have a loyal fanbase hoping to see her wield a bow and arrow in the upcoming film adaptation of "The Hunger Games." So when we spoke with Emma at the Sundance Film Festival, where she was promoting her high school romance "Homework," we had to ask if she was a fan of the dystopian series.
"I'm the only human being on the face of the planet who hasn't read 'The Hunger Games,'" she said. "I own them; I just haven't read them. I hear it's really awesome. I mean, all of my friends are like, 'Go home and read it now.' So I have to read it."

The Middle East and North Africa Regional Water Outlook
Project: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Regional Water Outlook
Client: World Bank
Partners: Utrecht University, LEI (Wageningen)
Period: 2010-2011
Objectives: To evaluate water resources availability and evaluate water demand by sector in the region with and without accounting for climate change impacts, aggregated by country and by major basins. Determine water stress, defined as additional water supply needs by 2030/2050, by country, basin and sector, review available options of filling water supply gaps, and analyze the economic marginal cost of alternative options to supplement the water supply needs.
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is considered the most water-scarce region of the world. Disputes over water lead to tension within communities, and unreliable water services are prompting people to migrate in search of better opportunities. Water investments absorb large amounts of public funds, which could often be used more efficiently elsewhere. As the region's population continues to grow, per capita water availability is set to fall by 50 percent by 2050, and, if climate change affects weather and precipitation patterns as predicted, the MENA region may see more frequent and severe droughts and floods
Map of yearly average precipitation in the MENA region
The need for alternative and improved water management options is therefore urgently needed, but a clear overview on what the main focus should be is lacking. A broad range of options exists which can be grouped by different approaches such as reducing the demand, increasing the supply, transfer between different sectors, transfer within different sectors, increase storage etc. An important aspect for the MENA region includes desalination.
Map of aridity in the MENA region
To explore different options the World Bank initiated an initiative to generate an improved understanding of water issues in the region and overview of available options under different scenarios of water supply and demand management with special focus on desalination, taking into account the energy nexus and environmental concerns. As part of this initiative, FutureWater will carry out an assessment of water stress in the MENA region, including associated marginal cost of water supply to meet the water supply need. Conducting consultation workshops and meetings will be organized with relevant parties in the region (governmental, universities, civil society groups).
