The Elves of Cintra: The Genesis of Shannara, Book 2 (Genesis of Shannara #02)by Terry Brooks
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With his groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Sword of Shannara and its acclaimed sequels, Terry Brooks brought a new audience to epic fantasy. Then he gave the genre a darkly compelling contemporary twist in his trilogy of the Word and the Void. Last year, in Armageddon's Children, Brooks undertook the stunning chronicle that united two unique worlds. Now that story of clashing forces of darkness and light, of Shannara's beginnings and the human race's possible end, marches forward into an unforgettable second volume full of mystery, magic, and momentous events.
Across the ruined landscape that is America — hopelessly poisoned, plague-ridden, burned, and besieged by demon armies bent on exterminating all mortal life — two pilgrims have been summoned to serve the embattled cause of good. Logan Tom has journeyed to desolate Seattle to protect a ragged band of street urchins and the being known as "the gypsy morph," who is both mortal and magical, and destined to save mankind unless he is destroyed. Likewise, Angel Perez has her own quest, one that will take her from the wreckage of Los Angeles to a distant, secret place untouched by the horrors of the nationwide blight — a place where the race of Elves has dwelled since before man existed. But close behind these lone Knights of the Word swarm the ravening forces of the Void.
As the menacing thunder of war drums heralds the arrival of the demons and their brutal minions in Seattle, the young survivors who call themselves the Ghosts are forced to brave the dangerous world of gangs, mutants, and worse to escape the invasion. And Logan Tom must infiltrate a refugee compound to rescue Hawk, the leader of the street urchins, who has yet to learn the truth about who and what he is. Meanwhile, Angel Perez has joined an equally urgent mission: to find the Ellcrys, a fabled talisman crucial to protecting the Elven realm against an influx of unspeakable evil from the dread dimension known as the Forbidding. But Angel and her Elf allies must beware — for a demon spy, with a monstrous creature at its command, walks among them.
As the legions of darkness draw the noose tighter, and the time of confrontation draws near, those chosen to defend the soul of the world must draw their battle lines and prepare to fight with, and for, their lives. If they fail, humanity falls.
"Extinction or survival? Brooks keeps readers hanging with the hair-raising second installment (after 2006's Armageddon's Children) of a trilogy blending his bestselling Shannara and Void series. A plague-ridden future Earth faces annihilation from Void demons, once-men and other monstrous creatures. What chance do innocent children have? A pretty good chance when Logan Tom and Angel Perez, the last Knights of the Word, have pledged to defend them. Hawk, a child suffused with unpredictable magic, also helps the Seattle street kids called the Ghosts, but when he's whisked away to the magical Gardens of Life to learn of his heroic destiny, the kids come to depend on Logan and Cat, a part-lizard girl. Playing another important role is Kirisin, a Cintra elf hiding in the Oregon woods, who finds the blue Elfstones that can lead him to the powerful, myth-shrouded Loden Stone. Celebrating his 30th year as a professional writer, Brooks provides another fascinating group of characters tackling harrowing and inspiring life and death issues." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] sequel as riveting as its postapocalyptic predecessor....Each of the youngsters matures and grows in power, making this a coming-of-age story as well as a thrilling adventure." Booklist
"Brooks's sequel to Armageddon's Children ties the many stories of the Shannara series together with the world of modern Earth, bringing together two popular story cycles in a surprising and ingenious fashion." Library Journal
"[A] gloomy and gritty piece of a post-apocalyptic pie that is full of outstanding epic ingredients and characters." Bookreporter.com
Armageddon's Children, the first book in the Genesis of Shannara series, galvanized readers by revealing a link between our world and that of Shannara. Now the trilogy continues in this novel that explores the origins of an alternate world.

Shaki Khanate
|Khanate of Shaki
|Şəki xanlığı
|Persian , Azerbaijani
|Haji Chalabi Khan
|Abolished within Russian Empire
Shaki khanate (Azerbaijani: Şəki xanlığı, also spelled as Sheki khanate, Shekin khanate, Shakki khanate) was an Azerbaijani khanate on the territory of modern Azerbaijan between 1743 and 1819 with its capital in the town of Shaki.[1]
The khanate was founded in 1743 as a result of revolt led by Haji Chalabi Khan against Safavid Empire.[2] It was considered one of the strongest feudal states in Caucasus. The capital of the khanate Shaki, the most populated settlement in the state, was destroyed by floods in 1772, subsequently leading to suburbanization of the town and re-population of the country side.[3] Starting from the end of the 18th century, Shaki khans sought military assistance from the Russian Empire due to growing tensions with Qajars. In 1805, Mustafa Salim Khan signed a treaty with Alexander I of Russia effectively making Shaki Khanate Russian vassal state which was later affirmed by the Russo-Persian Treaty of Gulistan in 1813.[3] In 1819, Shaki Khanate was officially abolished and transformed into a Russian province subordinate to the Russian military administration. In 1840, it was renamed to Shaki Uyezd of Caspian Oblast. In 1846, the province was incorporated into Shemakha Governorate, in 1859 into Baku and in 1868 into Elisabethpol Governorate.[2][3] After establishment of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in May 1918, Shaki was part of Ganja province and with establishment of Soviet rule in Azerbaijan, Shaki was incorporated into Azerbaijan SSR on May 5, 1920.[3][4]
The khanate was subdivided into 8 districts headed by khan's naibs. The seat of the head of state was in the capital Shaki, in the Palace of Shaki Khans, which is one of the tourist attractions in present-day Azerbaijan. It was built circa 1761 by the grandson of Haji Chalabi, Huseyn Khan.[5] The palace of the Shaki khans is considered one of the important historical monuments in Azerbaijan.[6] Agriculture was the basis of Shaki Khanate's economy. The khanate was known for silkworming culture, one that is still practised today.[2] Located on the left bank of the river Kish, the town of Shaki was originally sited lower down the hill. However Shaki was moved to its present location after a devastating mud flood in 1772. As the new location was near the village of Nukha, the city became also known as Nukha, until 1960 when it reverted to the name Shaki, after the Scythians.

Good basic recipe. That is all that it is. It is not the definitive recipe for carne asada nor does it claim to be. Jeesh - get a life out there people.flag if inappropriate
I want to thank aidachick from San Diego. After searching several cookbooks and web-sites, finally there exists a recipe that makes great carne asada! And it is simple, too. Add grilled onions (whatever type),grilled poblano chilis, tortillas,cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice and it's a great taco!flag if inappropriate
Carne asada tacos this isn't!! The meat should be marinated in citrus to begin with. Tacos should be served with pico de gallo, shredded cabbage, and squeeze lime juice over all. I prefer flour tortillas over corn also.flag if inappropriate
I am a 10000% mexican; so I know that actually, in most households that is what carne asada stands for, since there is not much time/space to do a grill or light charcoal; however, it is also true that ACTUAL carne asada is made in a charcoal fire. On the othr hand not every one of us uses citrus to marinate meat, though lemon is also used to add to tacos. One hing we DO NOT DO is tabasco sauce as often as you guys believe we do, we use tabasco to polish our brass and copper appliances. sorry to burst your bubble, we prefer 100000 tmes over to actually eat the chiles, raw and fresh in our own salsas. one thing we almost always use is beer to marinate the meat on.flag if inappropriate
The people rating this recipe are misinformed...1.Carne asada is never slow cooked...that's machaca of carnitas. Carne asada by its name is charbroiled. 2. citrus is one of the most traditional ways of marinating meats of any kind in mexico ...especially beef or chicken. this recipe is nor americanized at all. The Americans are once again prejudicing themselves against a flavor created by the limited ingredients and tougher meats most citizens south of the border have to deal with every day. This is their steak and their flavor..flag if inappropriate
I agree. This is not authentic carne asada tacos. First the meat is marinated in citrus juices and mexican spices. It is grilled and served in a hot corn tortilla with finely chopped onions, cilatro, and a traditional red salsa. This is the "americanized" variety that does not come close to the true flavor of authentic tacos. Nice try.flag if inappropriate
I apologize if I'm being a purist, but that's NOT carne asada. If it is, then avocado is low-fat. Carne asada is slow-roasted, incredibly juicy beef or pork, very flavorful and almost melts in your mouth. I say, do it right or don't do it at all.flag if inappropriate
I am a Virginia transplant to CA and appreciate the recipe and reviews -- is it appropriate to barbecue/grill the meat after marinating?flag if inappropriate
I didn't make this dish but am submitting my own authentic marinade I grew up with dad marinating the carne asada with fresh garlic, salt, pepper, lots of lemon or lime and a can of beer...for a big party make layers of beef with this marinate it..much better if done overnight, this has always been a hit,even when I lived in Mexicoflag if inappropriate
I would marinade the meat in a mixture of beer, miracle whip, mustard and lemon juice after I have sprinkled seasoning salt on the meat. Yummy!flag if inappropriate

SAN FRANCISCO — A new report says the City College of San Francisco is moving dangerously close to bankruptcy and its large faculty and generous compensation are to blame.
The review by state auditors analyzes how California's largest public college got into severe financial trouble.
The San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/T4YThS ) reports City College has until March 15 to make structural changes needed to keep its accreditation and prevent the 86,000-student school from closing in June.
The report says City College employs nearly twice as many faculty members as comparable schools and pays them better. The college didn't make necessary budget cuts when the state cut funding and didn't set aside money for its growing retirement obligations.
Board President John Rizzo calls the report a helpful tool that will help the college make needed changes.

1st Orbital Cygnus freighter departs space station, heads for destructive re-entry
Orbital Sciences' first Cygus cargo spacecraft is released by the International Space Station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to head for a destructive re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
October 22, 2013
— Just before the hatch was closed to Orbital Sciences' first Cygnus resupply spacecraft, NASA astronaut and Expedition 37 flight engineer Karen Nyberg came floating out of the barrel shaped ship holding a photo of another space explorer — the namesake for the vehicle she was now exiting for the last time.
Hovering for a moment inside the Harmony module on the International Space Station, Nyberg affixed the portrait of the late space shuttle astronaut G.David Low to the hatch, which when shut would separate the "Spaceship G. David Low" from the orbiting complex.
The first-of-its-kind private
cargo ship had been berthed
at the station since late September, but was now emptied of its supplies and repacked with trash to be discarded when the ship is destroyed re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
On Tuesday (Oct. 22), Nyberg and her fellow crewmate, Luca Parmitano with the European Space Agency (ESA), were at the space station's robotic arm controls to release the Cygnus from its perch, beginning its the journey back to Earth.
NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg floats out of Orbital's first Cygnus cargo craft with a photo of the late G. David Low — the namesake for the spaceship — on Monday, Oct. 21, 2013.
Spaceship G. David Low
– named in memory of Low, who made three spaceflights and helped lead the Virginia-
based Orbital's development of a commercial cargo launch service prior to his death in 2008 — was released from the space station at 6:31 a.m. CDT (1131 GMT).
On Wednesday, the Cygnus, orbiting free from the station and under the control of Orbital's flight engineers, will fire its engines for a last time at 12:41 p.m. CDT (1741 GMT), setting up its fiery re-entry over the Pacific Ocean.
Launched Sept. 18 atop the company's Antares two-stage rocket, Orbital's first
Cygnus spacecraft lifted off
from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. It arrived at the station 11 days later, a week late after a GPS data glitch and
arriving Soyuz crew
delayed its rendezvous.
Cygnus delivered about 1,300 pounds (589 kilograms) of cargo, including food, clothing and student experiments to the Expedition 37 crew aboard the orbiting laboratory. The freighter was only partially packed for this demo mission; future flights of Cygnus will fly larger payloads, increasing NASA's ability to deliver equipment and spare parts to the space station.
Attached to the Harmony node, the first Cygnus cargo spacecraft built by Orbital Sciences Corp., in the grasp of the Canadarm2, is photographed on the International Space Station.
Orbital is the second of two commercial companies to fly demo
flights to the space station
as a part of the agency's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) effort. The goal of COTS was to develop safe, reliable and cost effective cargo transportation systems. With this Cygnus mission coming to its successful end, the COTS program will be complete.
Orbital is now poised to begin this December with a series of eight Cygnus cargo missions to the space station under a $1.9 billion Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA through 2016.

Biomedical Graduate Students Begin Their Careers With an Oath
AAMC Reporter: July 2012
—By Jen Uscher, special to the Reporter
This August, the new class of graduate students at Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine will gather for a rite of passage that is not typically associated with future researchers. Before an audience of family members, faculty, and peers, they will pledge to uphold the values of integrity, professionalism, and scholarship in their careers as biomedical scientists and will be cloaked in their first white laboratory coat.
"For many years, I had seen white coat ceremonies for physicians and said, 'Why not create one for graduate students?'" said Michael F. Verderame, Ph.D., associate dean for graduate studies and a professor of medicine at Penn State and chair-elect of the AAMC's Graduate Research, Education, and Training (GREAT) Group steering committee. "I wanted our incoming students to have the sense that what they're doing is important and it matters—that graduate school isn't just about getting through the next exam."
Traditionally, first-year medical students—and many optometry, dentistry, and pharmacy students— begin their studies with a white coat ceremony that includes the Hippocratic oath or another professional oath. A small but growing number of biomedical graduate programs are extending this tradition to students pursuing master's or doctoral degrees, creating their own oaths that speak to research ethics, professionalism, and institutional missions.
At Morehouse School of Medicine, a Biomedical Scientist's Pledge is part of both fall convocation and graduation. Students pledge to use their "energy, intellect, and education to enhance the lives of all mankind, understanding that often the greatest strides are made through efforts to assist the dispossessed and underprivileged in our world."
"That was an important nod to the special mission of Morehouse School of Medicine," said Douglas F. Paulsen, Ph.D., associate dean for graduate studies and professor of pathology and anatomy at Morehouse.
At Penn State, Verderame launched an inaugural Graduate Student Oath Ceremony in 2009. He presented the idea to the medical school's Graduate Student Association (GSA), and a student committee spent almost a year on preparations, developing an oath, printing it on laminated cards for students to sign and keep, and selecting a keynote speaker.
Rachel Fogle, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Vascular Biology at the University of Connecticut Health Center, was president of the GSA at that time. She was on the committee that crafted the oath and led the students in reciting it at the first oath ceremony in 2009. "We wanted to set the bar high for maintaining ethical standards," she said. "As students, we're pulling together and holding ourselves, the larger scientific community, and incoming students accountable."
Many students keep the lab coat they receive at the ceremony throughout their graduate training and after graduation, Fogle said.
Chris Jenney, a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in neuroscience, said he keeps the card with the oath in his planner as a reminder of a meaningful transition in his life. "Taking the oath was a good way for us to start our careers as scientists," he said.
Verderame was inspired to create the oath ceremony in 2008 after reading an article in the journal Science that described an oath for first-year graduate students at the University of Toronto's Institute of Medical Science (IMS) and proposed such oaths be standard in graduate science education.
"It helps us begin a dialogue with our students about professionalism and ethical conduct," said Karen D. Davis, Ph.D., who co-authored the Science article and is a professor in the department of surgery and associate director at IMS. "Then we supplement and reinforce these concepts throughout the year with other workshops and lectures on research integrity and ethics."
Davis was a little worried that students might not take the oath seriously when they read it for the first time at an orientation session in 2007. "But the feedback we got was extremely positive. Students said the oath was thought provoking and made them feel part of the scientific community."
Over the past few years, Davis has talked with faculty from at least six graduate schools that are developing oaths of their own, inspired in part by the Science article. "The interest is really picking up, and the concept is more widely discussed."
There is not an exact count of the number of biomedical schools that have oath ceremonies, but Verderame conducted an informal survey of GREAT Group members in 2009 and said that 12 schools reported having some type of oath ceremony.
At most schools, first-year students recite an oath soon after they arrive on campus, but some incorporate it at graduation or other times. West Virginia University School of Medicine, for example, has a Research Induction Ceremony that marks the completion of core course work and transition to a research lab. Students are cloaked in a lab coat by their faculty mentor and recite an affirmation. During graduation, they recite the affirmation again.
Although each school's oath is unique, all serve to foster a sense of camaraderie among students. In the future, they can always return to take the pledge again, welcome a new class, and reconnect with their colleagues.
"We come from different places, ethnicities, cultures, and undergraduate majors," Fogle said. "Our oath helps us remember that no matter where we came from, we're all in this together."

02.13.2012Come and Go
When I first started this blog I had no idea that, a year and five months later, I'd be sitting down to write a post about a book inspired by it. Lee had quite a journey on this blog, and it isn't over yet. In fact, I don't think I'll ever let go of Lee Harlem Robinson, the severely flawed but good-natured, blazer-wearing heroine of both this blog and the novel. But here we are now, today, and it is quite a day for me.
Don't worry, I won't go all sappy on you (even though I kind of want to), but writing and self-publishing this book has been such a pleasure – from first sentence, to first chapter to first draft and finally (after many more drafts) the final product. And it would never have happened without this blog. I have enjoyed writing it so much and I will surely miss it, but it's time for something different now.
Come and Go is out today and is available as e-book and paperback. You can get it here: www.ladylit.com/comeandgo/
Thank you for sticking around and I hope you give the book a try,
Hannelore Arbyn

First of congratulations on the book!!
I just purchased a paperback copy – any chance of it being a signed copy?

Of course I'll sign it for you. I hope you enjoy it.

Whiskey business: Local radiologist embraces spirited endeavor
by amy matthew the pueblo chieftain
Published: June 26, 2013; Last modified: June 26, 2013 11:02AM
Medical school prepares students for many things: diagnosing ailments, interacting with patients, managing case loads, creating award-winning whiskey . . .
Hold up. That last one can't be correct. Right?
In most cases, it probably wouldn't be. When the med student is Bryan Nolt, however, chemistry class becomes a path to a second career.
Nolt, 42, is a Pueblo radiologist who, it's imperative to mention, relishes his work and the city in which he practices. He's lived here for 12 years with his wife, Janna, and their two young sons.

Jaime King is feeling blue.
The "Hart of Dixie" star, who is usually a blonde, showed off her new, blue locks this weekend at a birthday party for her husband, Kyle Newman.
No word on why she decided to dye her locks, but we doubt it was for her role as country girl "Lemon Breeland" on "Dixie."
King is only the latest to pick up on the hair trend, following in the follicles of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Adam Lambert.

Appeal for woman missing for 33 years
Posted: February 15, 2013|
Police have made an appeal for a woman who went missing more than 30 years ago. On December 28, 1979, June Ellena Brockway, then aged 43, discharged herself from Derriford Hospital in Plymouth. After leaving hospital she went to her home in Saltburn Road, St Budeaux, in the city, packed a bag and left. The case is Devon and Cornwall police's longest-running missing person inquiry. PC Ian Watson, said: "We have no recorded sightings of June in the last 33 years. She would now be a 76-year-old lady and is the longest-standing missing person for Plymouth."

It's very simple, and it works well on my old computer. Music and lyrics synchronize perfectly. You can slow down the music so you can be more accurate.
It won't save as a AVI video. They company says they're planning to add it as a feature in the future, but that will still be a while.

Protesters shout anti-American slogans in Chennai, India, on Sept. 15. / AP PHOTO
CAIRO -- Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen has praised the killing of the U.S. ambassador in Libya and called for more attacks to expel American embassies from Muslim nations.
The statement, posted today on Islamic militant websites, suggested al-Qaeda was trying to co-opt the wave of angry protests in the Muslim world over a film produced in the United States denigrating the Prophet Mohammed.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said the killing this week of Ambassador Chris Stevens in an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was "the best example" for those attacking embassies.
It said protesters' aim should be to "expel the embassies of America from the lands of the Muslims" and called on protests to continue in Muslim nations "to set the fires blazing at these embassies."
In Sydney, riot police clashed with about 200 protesters at the U.S. Consulate today as demonstrations against an anti-Islam film produced in the United States spread to Australia.
Ten Network television news showed a policeman knocked unconscious as the mostly male crowd hurled bottles and other missiles. Many of the protesters were wearing Muslim dress.
Police used pepper spray against the protesters, who chanted "Obama, Obama, we love Osama" and waved placards saying "Behead all those who insult the Prophet."
A total of six police officers were injured, including two who were taken to a hospital. Two protesters were treated for police dog bites and 17 others for the effects of pepper spray, police said in a statement. There were no details of their condition.
Eight people were arrested on charges including assaulting police and resisting arrest.
Police said they were unsure who organized the protest.
"There was little or no organization or control of what they were doing, and their actions were disgraceful," police Superintendent Mark Walton said in a statement.
Prime Minister Julian Gillard said the protest was unacceptable.
"Violent protest is never acceptable -- not today, not ever," she said in a statement.
U.S. diplomatic posts around the world have been targeted in recent days by protests against the film Innocence of Muslims, which ridicules the Prophet Muhammad.
In Sudan, police say two protesters were killed in a traffic accident during chaotic demonstrations outside the U.S. Embassy in Sudan, bringing the total killed in a wave of protests across the Muslim world against an anti-Islam film to at least five.
The Sudanese police official said today on state radio that the accident outside the embassy, about 10 miles southeast of the capital Khartoum, was "unintentional." He did not elaborate.
He said 6,000 participated in the protests. Demonstrators stormed the German Embassy before moving on in buses to the U.S. Embassy, where police used tear gas to stop them scaling the walls.
Two demonstrators died in Tunisia during Friday's violence and another was killed in Lebanon. Egyptian police have not confirmed reports of the death of another protester in Cairo.
Tunisia's governing moderate Islamist party condemned an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tunis and the neighboring American school, saying such violence threatens the country's progress toward democracy after decades of dictatorship.
The embassy compound and school were surrounded by Tunisian police and army vehicles and personnel today.
The embassy building itself -- a fort-like structure -- was untouched Friday, but a gym and parking lot within the compound were ransacked and set alight. The windows of the small building at the complex's entrance used to screen visitors were smashed and computers stolen.
Several dozen cars in the parking lot were burned, sending up thick, black smoke. A reporter saw looters jimmying open car doors and taking whatever they could find inside before setting them on fire.
The same happened at the school, where computers and other valuables were also stolen before it was engulfed in flames.
The degree of violence in Tunisia surprised many and raised new questions about the direction of the country, where an uprising last year forced out its longtime president and set off pro-democracy revolts across the Arab world.
Tunisia is now run by the once-banned Islamist party, Ennahda, which has vowed to protect the rights of women and free worship, while building a robust democracy. But the moderate government has since struggled to quell protests by increasingly vocal ultraconservative Muslims known as Salafis.
The youth wing of Ennahda said in a statement emailed early today that both the film that incited the protests and the violence should be condemned.
The party's statement accused "enemies of the revolution" of turning peaceful demonstrations into destructive mobs and manipulating anger over the film to divide the country and prevent Tunisia from building a robust democracy.
"We call on the youth and on all Tunisians to maintain vigilance and unity in order to prevent all attempts at sowing divisions and halting the revolution," the statement said.

Ho Chi Minh City, is the largest city of Viet Nam, is also the economical and financial capital of Vietnam, is one of the most beautiful and glamorously developing towns of Vietnam.
Mostly travelers start their trip since November and they continue their tour in the city throughout March. When staying in Ho Chi Minh don't miss out on the fun and celebrations in the Tet Festival in either late or early January. This is a extremly exciting occasion to come In April, the humidity in Ho Chi Minh is quite under control and is the apt place for tours by foreigners. Though December to April is also known to be the hottest time of the year but during the night the whether becomes very cool and pleasant at nights making it the best place for tourists to visit the city and go party hopping or to check out the various tourist attractions.
Between July and November the typhoon season reigns supreme as violent tropical storms can target the coasts any time. The rainy season though is entirely a bad time for a tour to Vietnam as it rains there mostly for an hour or two during the afternoon thus the tourists get some time to go sightseeing in the city. Thus, Ho Chi Minh seems to be easier to visit most of the time of the year but spring time invariably seems to be the best time to visit. The average temperature in Ho Chi Minh tends to remain around 28oC.

Executive Summary:
National Louis conducted a Needs Assessment of 1057 adjunct faculty with 206 returning it for a return rate of 19.5%. Primarily the respondents were from the College of Education (69.1%). The College of Arts and Sciences faculty had a 21.6% response rate and 9.3% of the faculty College of Management and Business responded.
The primary purpose of this survey was to gather information to begin creating a professional development plan for National Louis University so that the institution can move forward with a comprehensive training plan for its adjuncts.
In this survey, the faculty members were asked general questions regarding their willingness to participate in professional development, the types of professional development sessions in which they would be interested, and the dates and times in which they would be available.
Based on a review of this data, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. Faculty are interested in receiving additional professional development from National Louis
2. Interest varies by college (low of 74% from College of Education and Management and Business, high of 82% from Arts and Sciences).
3. Most faculty who responded have an interest in professional development delivery in a hybrid manner (ranged from low of 26% in COE to a high to 42% in M&B ). This is by far the most requested type of delivery over either strictly online or face to face.
4. Mentoring received a mixed reaction from the group surveyed. The College of Education faculty indicated that 31% of the faculty members who responded would be interested in a mentor, while in the College of A&S, 41% of the faculty indicated they would be interested in a mentoring program of some kind. In the College of Management and Business, 47% indicated they would be interested in a program of some kind.
5. The colleges had a definite split when it came to the types of professional development courses they would be interested in. The Colleges of Management & Business and Arts & Sciences were firmly in the camp of wanting more pedagogy courses (74% and 55% respectively) whereas the College of Education would like to focus more on courses that enhance their classroom technical abilities (53%).

Canned hunting, the hunting of wild animals in a confined area from which they cannot escape, is not only legal in South Africa, it is flourishing. Hunters from all over the world, but notably from the United States, Germany, Spain, France and the UK, flock to South Africa in their thousands and send home lion body parts, such as the head and skin, preserved by taxidermists, to show off their supposed prowess.
The animals involved are habituated to human contact, often hand-reared and bottle fed, so are no longer naturally fearful of people. Such animals will approach people expecting to get fed-but instead receive a bullet, or even an arrow from a hunting bow. This makes it easier for clients to be guaranteed a trophy and thus the industry is lucrative and popular.

Rent Is Too Damn High High Guy Comes to CPAC Bloggers Room (Video)
Your blogger couldn't believe it. There was so much commotion going on, as happens when any big time politician comes in. But Jimmy McMillan was loud and crazy and repeated the same thing over and over. "The rent is too damn high. I'm Jimmy McMillan, I'm not going away, because the rent is too damn high".
McMillan and his "Rent is Too Damn High Party" became a cult favorite recently when he ran for office in New York. Check out the video here, shot by fellow blogger, Ben Howe! Ben has found his calling in video, and KCC runs them regularly:

There are several forms of tenosynovitis, including idiopathic, acute traumatic, chronic traumatic, and septic. In the idiopathic form, there is no lameness and synovial effusion localized to the tendon sheath is the only manifestation. It may be seen in the common digital extensor tendon sheath or the extensor carpi radialis tendon sheath; these can be differentiated by knowledge of anatomy. Traumatic forms of tenosynovitis are seen in older animals. In the acute stage, there is fluid distention; in the chronic stage, fibrosis may be present as well. Treatment consists of systemic and local anti-inflammatory therapy (eg, phenylbutazone therapy for 5–7 days). DMSO can be applied topically to the injured area for 7–10 days. In chronic cases in jumpers, surgical debridement may be helpful. Septic tenosynovitis of the carpus is rare. When it is seen, there are acute signs of lameness, heat, and swelling as seen in septic arthritis.

Sorry for the lateness, guys. It's yours.
Sorry for the lateness, guys. It's yours.
The presumptive successor to John Boehner abruptly ended his bid after determining he could not get the support he needed from conservatives.
Behind Kevin McCarthy's stunning decision Thursday to end his bid for speaker lay a simple calculation: Even if he could scrape together the 218 votes he needed to win the formal House election later this month, he would begin his term a crippled leader unable to unite a party that he said was "deeply divided."
The majority leader and presumed successor to John Boehner had been widely expected to win the House GOP's secret-ballot nomination on Thursday. All he needed was a simple majority of the 247-member caucus, and he easily had the votes over long-shot challengers Jason Chaffetz of Utah or Daniel Webster of Florida, who won the endorsement of the renegade House Freedom Caucus. But even if he'd won on Thursday, McCarthy knew he was still short of the threshold he needed on the floor, knowing that Democrats would vote as a bloc against him.
People have been asking that since 2006, but what they mean by it has changed over time.
Rupert Murdoch has a very thoughtful question: Is Obama black enough? OK, maybe it's not so thoughtful. The media mogul posed the question on Twitter:
Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else.
— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) October 8, 2015
Apologies! No offence meant. Personally find both men charming.
— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) October 8, 2015
What does Rupert Murdoch mean by a "real black"? And how many of them does the 84-year-old Australian-born billionaire denizen of Manhattan's fanciest districts know? The implication is offensive, sure, but it's also remarkably banal. "Is Obama black enough?" is a question that's been raised, debated, deplored, gnawed, and then shallowly buried, only to rise again, for as long as he's been a national political figure.
It leaves people bed-bound and drives some to suicide, but there's little research money devoted to the disease. Now, change is coming, thanks to the patients themselves.
This past July, Brian Vastag, a former science reporter, placed an op-ed with his former employer, the Washington Post. It was an open letter to the National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins, a man Vastag had formerly used as a source on his beat.
"I've been felled by the most forlorn of orphan illnesses," Vastag wrote. "At 43, my productive life may well be over."
There was no cure for his disease, known by some as chronic fatigue syndrome, Vastag wrote, and little NIH funding available to search for one. Would Collins step up and change that?
"As the leader of our nation's medical research enterprise, you have a decision to make," he wrote. "Do you want the NIH to be part of these solutions, or will the nation's medical research agency continue to be part of the problem?"
In a dreary European city, a man who goes by the name "Mikro" spends his days and nights targeting Islamic State supporters on Twitter.
In August 2014, a Twitter account affiliated with Anonymous, the hacker-crusader collective, declared "full-scale cyber war" against ISIS: "Welcome to Operation Ice #ISIS, where #Anonymous will do it's [sic] part in combating #ISIS's influence in social media and shut them down."
In July, I traveled to a gloomy European capital city to meet one of the "cyber warriors" behind this operation. Online, he goes by the pseudonym Mikro. He is vigilant, bordering on paranoid, about hiding his actual identity, on account of all the death threats he has received. But a few months after I initiated a relationship with him on Twitter, Mikro allowed me to visit him in the apartment he shares with his girlfriend and two Rottweilers. He works alone from his chaotic living room, using an old, battered computer—not the state-of-the-art setup I had envisaged. On an average day, he told me, he spends up to 16 hours fixed to his sofa. He starts around noon, just after he wakes up, and works late into the night and early morning.
American politicians are now eager to disown a failed criminal-justice system that's left the U.S. with the largest incarcerated population in the world. But they've failed to reckon with history. Fifty years after Daniel Patrick Moynihan's report "The Negro Family" tragically helped create this system, it's time to reclaim his original intent.
By his own lights, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, ambassador, senator, sociologist, and itinerant American intellectual, was the product of a broken home and a pathological family. He was born in 1927 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but raised mostly in New York City. When Moynihan was 10 years old, his father, John, left the family, plunging it into poverty. Moynihan's mother, Margaret, remarried, had another child, divorced, moved to Indiana to stay with relatives, then returned to New York, where she worked as a nurse. Moynihan's childhood—a tangle of poverty, remarriage, relocation, and single motherhood—contrasted starkly with the idyllic American family life he would later extol.
A radical experiment at Zappos may herald the emergence of a new, more democratic kind of organization.
Deeply strange reports have been emerging from the Las Vegas headquarters of Zappos, until recently the world's happiest shoe store. This spring, by order of the CEO, Tony Hsieh, the company abolished managers, eliminated job titles, denounced its own organizational hierarchy, and vested all authority in a 10,000-word constitution that spells out a radical new system of self-governance. Holacracy, it's called, and it makes all previous moves toward "employee empowerment" look like the mild concessions of an 18th-century monarch. Freed from direct supervision, employees are expected to join various impermanent democratic assemblies called "circles" (headed, but not run, by a "lead link"), in which they will essentially propose their own job descriptions, ratify the "roles" of others, and decide what projects the group should undertake.
The government detained and quarantined so-called "patriotutes" to protect soldiers from sexually transmitted diseases.
In June 1942, a woman named Billie Smith was arrested in her hotel room in Little Rock, Arkansas, and charged with prostitution and violation of the state's immorality laws. Smith pled guilty and paid the fine of $10—equivalent to $150 today—but authorities weren't quite done.
Smith was turned over to the city's health examiner, who ran tests for syphilis and gonorrhea. When both came back positive, the officer ordered her committed to a federally run quarantine center in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Three days after her arrest, she petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus, arguing that the quarantine amounted to unlawful imprisonment—but Smith's condition posed too much of a threat, the court argued, for it to do anything but let the quarantine stand.
An influential journalist who supports the presidential candidate offers an unusually naked defense of her ends-justify-the-means approach to public life.
An influential progressive writer published a blunt assessment of Hillary Clinton this week, declaring her unusually willing to transgress against civic and legal standards.
"From her adventures in cattle trading to chairing a policymaking committee in her husband's White House to running for Senate in a state she'd never lived in to her effort to use superdelegates to overturn 2008 primary results to her email servers," Matthew Yglesias declared at Vox.com, "Clinton is clearly more comfortable than the average person with violating norms and operating in legal gray areas."
He goes on to flesh out those examples and to offer still more:
There was no winnable Senate race for her to enter in Illinois or Arkansas in 2000, so she ran in New York instead. Barack Obama forbade her from employing Sidney Blumenthal at the State Department, so she employed him at her family's foundation instead. Sandy Berger faced criminal penalties for destroying classified documents at the National Archives, but that didn't stop Clinton from informally employing him as an adviser on sensitive Middle East peace negotiations.
She decides what she wants to do, in other words, and then she sets about finding a way to do it...
A new report details a black market in nuclear materials.
On Wednesday, the Associated Press published a horrifying report about criminal networks in the former Soviet Union trying to sell "radioactive material to Middle Eastern extremists." At the center of these cases, of which the AP learned of four in the past five years, was a "thriving black market in nuclear materials" in a "tiny and impoverished Eastern European country": Moldova.
It's a new iteration of an old problem with a familiar geography. The breakup of the Soviet Union left a superpower's worth of nuclear weapons scattered across several countries without a superpower's capacity to keep track of them. When Harvard's Graham Allison flagged this problem in 1996, he wrote that the collapse of Russia's "command-and-control society" left nothing secure. To wit:
In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don't like. Here's why that's disastrous for education—and mental health.
Something strange is happening at America's colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for The New Yorker about law students asking her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law—or, in one case, even use the word violate (as in "that violates the law") lest it cause students distress. In February, Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, wrote an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education describing a new campus politics of sexual paranoia—and was then subjected to a long investigation after students who were offended by the article and by a tweet she'd sent filed Title IX complaints against her. In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. "I'm a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me," the headline said. A number of popular comedians, including Chris Rock, have stopped performing on college campuses (see Caitlin Flanagan's article in this month's issue). Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have publicly condemned the oversensitivity of college students, saying too many of them can't take a joke.
From acidification of the ocean to dwindling fresh water, experts weigh in on what the public should know.
In his October cover story, Ta-Nehisi Coates explores how mass incarceration has affected African American families.

Report Card: 2011 NFL Draft Grades, Chicago Bears Edition
The Bears had a successful 2011 NFL Draft. They came away with two very good players in the first and second rounds. They finished off the draft with high energy players, who flashed a lot of potential in college.
Some analysts like what Jerry Angelo and Co. did in this year's draft, others didn't.
Here's how they graded:
First Round- OT, Gabe Carimi, Wisconsin
Carimi is a big run blocker, who played left tackle in college, but is better suited for the right side. He will likely get the shot to start from day one. He isn't the best with his footwork, but with some practice he will improve. The best thing about him is that he can play almost every position on the line, both guard positions and tackle positions. The Bears were lucky he fell all the way to them at No.29, they need him to play big next year.
Grade: A
Second Round-DT, Stephen Paea, Oregon State
Paea is a versatile defensive tackle, who can play the three-technique and nose tackle. A raw football player, playing Rugby before coming to Oregon State. He is a solid run stopper, who doesn't give up one-on-one battles. He doesn't have the elite speed that the best defensive tackles, but he uses his strength and agility to his advantage. He will get a chance to contribute right away behind Anthony Adams and Henry Melton this season.
Grade: B+
Third Round, S, Chris Conte, Cal
Conte has a lot of potential at the free safety position. He showed why he will be capable to translate his game to the NFL last year with Cal. He is a solid tackler, who will be good in run support and has a solid range. He will need some time to get used to the Bears system, but we've seen in the past where the Bears used rookie safeties early on in the season (Chris Harris, Al Afalava, Kevin Payne, Major Wright). The Bears likely drafted Conte, to give them insurance if Danieal Manning decides to leave in free agency. Look for him to play more special teams than safety this season.
Grade: C+
Fifth Round, QB, Nathan Enderle, Idaho
Enderle is a big quarterback, who flashed a lot of potential at the University of Idaho, but could be a project coming into the NFL. He doesn't have an elite arm and sometimes makes a stupid mistake. The Bears will use Enderle as the third quarterback, behind Caleb Hanie and Jay Cutler this season. Mike Martz will be happy to teach this quarterback his system considering he brought up unknowns like Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger with the Rams. The Bears could have used this pick to bolster their linebackers or even their wide receivers, but it looks like they will fill those needs in free agency.
Grade: C+
Sixth Round, LB, J.T. Thomas, West Virginia
Thomas is a high-energy player, who is a leader in the locker room. He is a little undersized to be anything other than a weakside linebacker in the NFL. He will likely contribute on special teams this season, but he will have to fight hard to make the team considering the Bears want to bring back more than a couple of their own free agent linebackers.
Grade: C-
Overall Grade: B
