Through a series of training and awareness programs, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is embarking on a $1.2-million expedition to offer "asthma-friendly homes" training and outreach programs to curb exposure to indoor contaminants. Focusing primarily on homes and schools, the EPA announced earlier this year 32 assistance agreements to state and local governments and non-profit groups for the air pollution-abatement project.
"The goal of the program is to educate the primary adults in an asthmatic child's life," the agency said in a press release. "To accomplish this goal, adults will be educated on ways to provide an asthma-friendly home, school, children and medical care environments." The projects intend to improve indoor air quality through the following objectives:
• Increasing effective indoor air quality practices through community-level education and outreach
• Promoting positive indoor air quality management practices in schools by working with school districts and teachers
• Increasing the number of homes tested for radon, homes built with radon-resistant features, and existing homes mitigated for radon
• Creating awareness to reduce asthma triggers in the home and encourage the use of asthma management plans through community-based asthma programs
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has been a chief proponent of so-called "asthma awareness," asserting that it's one of her foremost goals because her son suffers from the disease. "Across America we see low-income and minority children and families at a disproportionately higher risk for asthma and respiratory illnesses," Ms. Jackson said, when announcing a federal report to "reduce racial and ethnic asthma disparities" in May.

Two weeks ago I went a little crazy in an used record store. Nothing I can say in my defence other than I love music and have always used all my money on buying it.

I knew I shouldn't have bought that many CDs at once, but I couldn't help myself. (Called addiction maybe, hmmmm.) Now for the next couple of months I try to stay away from all the record stores and Amazon.
Oh, and I forgot these from the above list.
Deathchain - Death Gods (New CD in Amazon Japan would have been almost 50 000 Yen (300+Euros), so real bargain)
Slash's Snakepit - It's Five O'clock Somewhere
The last thing i bought was the Viva Hysteria blu ray of Def Leppard and before that Dr.Feelgood and Theatre of Pain of Motley Crue
I used to buy CD's, but since about 6 or 7 years I buy every record I want on vinyl.
But when it's available on vinyl, I buy it on CD. My collection is pretty large.. haha
The last time I bought records was yesterday, about 10 records at a time including Rush, Van Halen and KISS
The last album I bought was W.A.S.P.-Inside The Electric Circus

Country Cove Bed & Breakfast Hotel Review: Although its just five minutes from downtown Stillwater, this is the perfect hideaway for people who appreciate the great outdoors and value their privacy---individual entrances and sundecks are highlights. At the same time, it offers the comfort and pampering of a country inn. This two-level Midwest-style home features spacious guest rooms that showcase wood-burning stoves or fireplaces. All are decorated with original artwork and antique pine furniture. Personalized touches include terry robes, oversized bath towels and candles, as well as cassette players with tapes.

The Hunted (nBSG)
View Single Post
January 6 2013, 02:40 PM
Re: The Hunted (nBSG)
Lieutenant (junior-grade) Michael Jamussa (known the pilots and EWOs by his call sign of Kaboose) knelt beside the window in the Raptors hatch. Looking good, Sidewinder, he said to the command pilot (and senior Raptor pilot aboard
) Lieutenant Stefan Sidewinder Greene. Two more meters . . . back a nudge . . . good, good, CONTACT! The EWO toggled a switch beside the hatch and there was a dull thud. Hard dock, Sidewinder. Magnetic grapples secured and locked.
, Sidewinder, the pilot broadcast. We are docked with Typhon and are opening up now.
Roger Sidewinder, report in at five minute intervals. ETA on Marines and tech team four minutes.
, he answered as he unbuckled his harness and carefully made his way back into the small troop/EWO bay. Ready, Kaboose?
If I said no, the EWO answered sourly, would you wait on the Marines to arrive?
Thats a negative, Kaboose.
Thought so, he answered as he drew his sidearm and chambered a round before sliding the weapon back in its holster. Well, in that case, Lieutenant Sir, we cocked, locked, and ready to rock.
Open her up, wiseass.
By your command, Kaboose said in a monotone voice reverberating into his helmet.
The hatch opened outwards without a sound in the vacuum. Sidewinder took the lead and he jumped across the one-meter gap between the Raptor and the open hatch, and he bounced back into the air on the far side. Internal gravity is down, Kaboose. Watch your step.
, Sidewinder. Emergency lights are on in power conservation modebatteries must be low. Negative internal atmosphere and gravityen route to command deck.
Roger, Sidewinder. Watch yourself, the radio broadcast.
What? No kind words for me? Kaboose lamented, and a chuckle came over the radio. Kaboose,
. Nope. Not a one.
I get no respect at all, the EWO muttered.
Respect is earned, Kaboose, Sidewinder said as he swept the hand-held battery-powered torch he carried down the corridor. You havent so far, the pilot paused. Is that what I think it is? He asked as the torch illuminated a rust-red smear along one bulkheadand a matching icy pool on the deck.
Frack, whispered the junior officer. Is that blood? Frozen congealed blood?
And bullet impacts on the bulkhead, the pilot said slowly.
, Sidewinder. Signs of an internal firefightno bodies. We are at the access ladders and climbing to the command deck.
************************************************** **
Colonel Jayne shook his head. Smugglers? Could the Fleet have decommissioned the station and then criminals had a fire-fight? Even scraps of supplies could be valuablelet alone the tylium stores and munitions.
Mathias nodded. There are no indications of kinetic or missile strikes on the exteriorTyphon was only lightly armed, but any hostile ship should have alerted the crew and there would be
evidence of a fight. There is another possibility, Tom, he said quietly.
Mutiny, the XO snarled.
It is not unknown, the commander answered. Sidewinder,
Actual. Try to find the station logs when you reach the command deckthey might be in the commanders quarters on Deck Four if they are not in CIC.
************************************************** **
The two pilots slowly made their up the core of the station along the access ladderssteeply sloped stairs as civilians referred to them. They passed more blood stains on the way and in the dark cold interior, the sound of their breathing was thunderous.
All this blood, and not a body to be found, Kaboose said in a quavering voice. Where are the bodies?
Easy, Lieutenant, Sidewinder ordered. Someone policed the station afterwards; no way they all got sucked out to vacuum.
But what happened?
Thats what we are here to find out.
Sidewinder, Arclight. I am docking at the port bay with a team of Marines and techs; Jester is delivering a second team to engineering.
Roger, Arclight.
, we are at the command deck.
. Confirm you have reached the command deck.
The command deck was as silent and lifeless and frozen as the remainder of the station had beenbut there were a large number of patches of blood-red ice on the deck and bulkheads and consoles. Sidewinder approached the engineering console and he scrapped off the ice with his gloved hands.
, Sidewinder. Power plant and environmental controls were manually shut down from the command deck. I have emergency power onlybatteries at . . . 8.7%; we have the juice for a system restart. Request instructions.
************************************************** **
Actual. Fuel status?
Tanks read seventeen thousand five hundred and forty-four tons of processed and refined tylium,
Actual. Just over 13% of her total capacity.
Mathias exchanged a look with Tom who nodded. That would top off our tanks, as well as the reserve storage for the Vipers and Raptors, with some to spare.
He lifted the phone. Fire her up, Sidewinder. Warm the tanks to reduce the slush and have the engineering teams check the status of the fuel transfer pumps and lineswhen everything is on-line we will bring the ship to dock and transfer fuel.
Roger that.
The commander adjusted the dial next to the phone. CIC to Chief Sinclair, he broadcast, and then waited.
Go CIC.
Chief, I want a team assembled for fuel transfer and a second to inspect any spare parts and munitions aboard that stationbring over everything we can use, and what will fit in our holds. If the Fleet did decommission Typhon, Im not about to leave ordnance sitting out here for criminals to get their hands on.
Our magazines are over two-thirds as is, Commander. We wont be able to fit all of it aboard if Typhon has a full load.
Understood, get what you can, and get it safely stowed.
Ill get a crew cracking on it Commander.
Actual, he continued as he switched the phone back to that channel. Any progress on those logs?
Actual. Final entry was . . . seven months and ten days ago. Shows a Fleet shuttle arriving in system with cargo for the station. Nothing after that. No mention of the Fleet mothballing the station either, at least none that I can find.
Get the logs back here ASAP,
Actual out.
Mathias racked the phone and he shook his head. For several moments he said nothing and then he nodded. For now, Tom, we are going to concentrate on getting those pumps working and the fuel piped aboardas well as whatever supplies and spares we can salvage. Ill be in my quartersdock the ship once the Marines and engineers complete their sweep and the pumps have checked out. Once that operation is complete, we will jump into Cyrannus and find out just what the frack is going on.
Aye, aye, Sir.

University Hospital Board Approves Equipment Upgrades
AUGUSTA, Ga. – March 27, 2008 – Nearly $2.9 million in patient care equipment upgrades was approved today by the University Health Services Board at its monthly meeting. The upgrades included the following:
This request replaces 130 patient beds with new, more updated models. These state-of-the-art beds include scales to more accurately weigh patients in bed; they transform into chairs to help patients get in and out more easily; they're roomier for patient comfort and include a new and improved pressure relief system to help decrease skin ulcers.
This equipment upgrades these tools with a high-definition camera and light source for superior visualization. Laparoscopic procedures at University have increased 10 percent from 2006 to 2007. The series of smaller incisions can accommodate an increasing variety of procedures to include hernia repair, appendectomies, kidney removal and colon resection. Patients prefer this course rather than the former large incisions because the recovery time is much faster -- many procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis and the recovery time is days instead of weeks.
"The ability to acquire the latest equipment is one reason why University is a benchmark hospital in many patient care areas," said Marilyn Bowcutt, vice president of Patient Care Services at University.

USPS Price Changes (45¢ Stamps, 32¢ Postcards)
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Friday, January 20th, 2012 at 8:29 am.
If you are a frequent letter/postcard sender, you'll want to take note of the United States Postal Service changes that are set to take place on January 22nd, 2012. On this date, the price of Forever Stamps will increase from 44¢ per stamp to 45¢ per stamp (this is the first time that the price of Forever Stamps has increased since May 2009!). In addition, you can expect the following changes…
* Postcards: 3¢ increase to 32¢
* Letters to Canada or Mexico (1 oz.): 5¢ increase to 85¢
* Letters to other international destinations: 7¢ increase to $1.05
Check out this news release for more information. If you are running low on stamps, I would encourage you to head to your local Post Office today or tomorrow to snatch up several books of Forever Stamps since you will save yourself 1¢ per stamp. A penny saved is a penny earned. ;)
On a side note, check out this graphic below. Can you believe that the price of stamps back in 1885 was as low as 2¢?!
(Thanks, Coupon Pro!)
50 Hip Readers Commented
I WISH POSTCARDS WERE SENT FOR 3 cents!!! MIGHT WANNA FIX THAT!!! ;-P
3¢ is the increase, not what the cost used to be ;)
I think she means it will have an increase of 3 cents.. so instead of 29 cents, it will change to 32 cents.
My husband & I bought a whole roll of Forever stamps…seeing as how we do most billing, etc online, this will probably last us till the next price increase on stamps!
I still have some 28-cent postcard stamps sitting around . . .
It's Friday! My mistake not yours! I might wanna pay a little more attention!!!
LOL! I should have read further down! NM ;)
When I start to think the cost of stamps is outrageous, I remind myself that I can't get an envelope across the country for 45 cents by myself, and that helps keep it in perspective:?) I have a fantastic mail carrier who feeds my dog treats and gives my kids candy if they are outside when she drives up:?)
Perspective is a great thing. Thanks for the reminder! :0) It always helps to look at situations from many angles!
Lucky!! I have a mail carrier who every time it rains throws all the mail for the three condo units in my building on our front steps instead of putting it into the individual boxes. Last time I complained, no mail delivered for nearly a week. We also get a lot of incorrect mail, miss a lot of expected mail, and he refuses to take outgoing mail from our mailboxes. And from past experience I know my post office couldn't care less. I refuse to support the post office any more than I have to until they improve their customer service.
Overall my service isn't too bad, but I had to share this one. A few years ago my carrier actually folded a thin hard cover book in half to fit it in my mailbox! I can't even image how much force it must have taken to do that, so what could they have been thinking?!? To make matters worse, it was a hard to find out of print book that was damaged. I was outraged! When I complained to the supervisor, the carrier apparently had a history. We had a new carrier a couple months later.
I have a similar story. I bought an HP touchpad case for my sister as a Christmas present, and when it arrived in my mailbox I was absolutely shocked. It was bent in half and jammed in my mailbox so tightly I couldn't remove it. I tried for about 20 minutes before giving up. My boyfriend had to help me remove it and even he struggled to remove it. The case was damaged and I was just wondering what could have possibly been her thought process?! Instead of walking a few feet and putting it on my porch?! I thought about complaining but I didn't. I don't like getting people in trouble.
You need to call the postal inspectors. I am a mail lady and what you are saying here cannot continue. Here is their number 1-877-876-2455
I agree with knagel. I have worked for the Post Office as a carrier for years, and I would never imagine doing those things.
I just have to share cause I thought this was funny. Not complaining but laughing at the poor behavior of our postal carrier. Our houses are really close together and on garbage day often the cans get in the way of the mailboxes. Our mail carrier will just hit the gas and push the trash cans out of her way LOL it is so funny to watch. (luckily the cans are already empty as the garbage truck comes by 8 am) I totally get her frustration but I just have to laugh. :D
You must be talking about me?
I do the same thing (I know it's bad) but after the 100th house of having those darn cans in front of the box, you kind of flip out. The garbage people put them in front of the boxes on purpose.
Agreed. Great individual carrier or not. $0.45 to get something across the country is a great deal! Postage is something I never have trouble paying and I am amazed they can keep the cost below $1 per item!
It says "a 3 cent INCREASE"…not that it jumped from 3 cents TO 32 cents…only changing a little bit
There was only a 3 cent INCREASE- it didn't jump from 3 cents to 32…..
I didn't even realize this. Thanks for telling us.
That is actually still below the cost of inflation… $0.02 in 1885 is equal to $0.48 in 2010.
I think it's crazy how much it has jumped since 1960.
and the price of gas…
you have to take into consideration the cost of inflation, the amount of people in this country compared to 1960…have you gotten a raise since 1960? I certainly hope so.
I just found out the other day and my dad is a postmaster. I have been meaning to send 2 very large packages internationally so now I'm rushing to try and get them ready in time to get them out by Saturday before the price goes up. Thanks for the reminder though to buy extra stamps. I mostly use them just for rebates.
Ugh. Don't remind me. We have about 50 INTERNATIONAL families we keep in touch with because my husband is from Ireland. Those stamps are going up to $1.05 each. With birthdays, St. Pat's, Communions, Christmas, and just the pictures to his mom we drop about $120 a year in stamps. Thank God we get all those free cards from Tiny Prints & Cardstore – at least that takes some of the sting away! ;D
Not that big of a deal. I know that the USPS is in some financial trouble, so hopefully this increase will help them out. I can understand that this increase can add up for people or businesses who send out thousands of letters each year
Guess I should stop at Walgreens on my way home to pick up some stamps. So much easier than the post office.
thank goodness i only bought 4individual stamps this morning used one to mail my stepdad b-day card. i can't believed they keep increasing the price for the stamps as well packages :(
I used to work for the USPS and you wouldn't believe everything that one letter goes through at the big plants. It is amazing how many steps a piece of mail goes through before it leaves the carriers hands. And all within a quick time frame, I always thought the price of mailing a letter was a bargain since I experienced this first hand, and I still think it's quite a bargain. I am fortunate to have a wonderful carrier who goes out of his way considering I get so many "freebies" and little packages in the mail. He brings it up to my house for me and doesn't jam it all in the mailbox. Considering gas is well over $3 a gallon, I couldn't even take a few miles for only 45 cents!
Thanks to online banking and emails, my stamp usage has gone down. So I don't mind the penny increase. It will be ridiculous if it ever makes its way closer to 1.00.
We do billing by mail so I will be loading up =). Last time this happened I tried to buy a lot and the lady at the counter said she could only sell me 4 books. I then got back in line and bought as many as I wanted from the other lady at the counter. The first one gave me dirty looks and said she knew that I was only buying a bunch to get them before the increase DDDDUUUHHHHH why the heck wouldn't I.
I dont mind stamps going up a penny or two every few years. But postage for packages is way too high. I recently mailed a one pound box from MO to PA and it cost $7.35 to send it parcel post. Crazy!
USPS is facing bankruptcy, so I'm not surprised by the change. I wonder if that is gonna help them though
We have the most amazing mail carrier! She brings our packages to the back door and always goes the extra mile. My husband was in the mall at Christmas time and someone he didn't know said, Well hello Mr. D—–'. She said you don't know who I am do you? I'm your substitute mailcarrier!' She only brings our mail ONE day a week! I will never complain about paying a mere 45 cents to have a letter carried door to door for us.
Am I missing something? So if the stamps go up, do we have to buy 1 cent stamps to go wit the stamps we already have if we stock up 44 cent ones?
No – the 44 cent stamps are Forever stamps, which last …well, forever. And the 45 cent stamps are just new Forever stamps. So you don't need to get 1 cent stamps to go with your 44 cent stamps, because Forever stamps will never change what they are worth :)
this is only true if your stamps say forever. if they say 44 cents, you have to buy penny stamps. there is a difference.
If you have purchased your stamps within the last couple years they are all forever stamps. No need to buy penny stamps.
Well, hate to admit this, but I remember when we called them penny post cards! Yikes! And, Ebony, the answer is yes.
Just tried to get some more from usps.com but the link of shop is broke…:(
The price of a stamp to send a personal letter across the country is one of the few bargans in this country. Also 98 cents to get it to another country is a great deal too. No one else could do it any cheaper!
I am still amazed we are as low as we are. Like others have pointed out, based on the value of a dollar, we are still below the rate that it was in the 1800s. HOW? A pony took a whole hell of a lot longer than a plane and a plane seems like it is more expensive. We should be thankful and anyone who complains is an idiot. $.45 to mail something, show me a service that is cheaper (besides email)? No one.
Thanks for the heads up, didn't know about this. For only a penny a stamp I'm not running out and stocking up – cost me more in gas to make the trip, lol ;)
I have a extremely nasty woman working at our post office, she is kind enough to yell at you and berate you if you do not have the right forms, she does this alot, I refuse to support them either, maybe they should consider paying their workers less, they can keep there stamps and sub par postal workers!
I has a situation like that in Phoenix and I got the employees name (was so mad thinking about it that I went one day and walk up to her and got her name off her name tag and turned and left) and went online and complained to the main headquarters and I was shocked they took it very seriously! She had no right to ever act like that and I wasn't going to let her get away with thinking she was allowed to treat any person like that – she did it to everyone on multiple occasions. Needless to say next time, a few months later, when I had to go, she was as sweet as sugar!
Thank you so much for posting this. I didn't see it until last night, but you saved us a nice chunk of money. With 2 weddings and 2 (maybe 3–if she can finish the semester before her baby comes) graduations this year, we got the stamps this morning. The increase isn't a big deal if you only buy a couple stamps, but try buying about 5000 or more and it is a big savings. Again, thank you so very much.
I'm buying post cards and mailing them instead of texts and emails. I'll be ahead of the curve when the Internet becomes obsolete to regular users–AND IT WILL!
I deliver the mail to the post office at 5:00 daily. One time, there was a mail sorter or carrier taking mail out of the boxes. I had a few letters and asked if she would take them. She said "no", that I should throw them in the box. I did so and she then commented that "now my mail wouldn't go out until the next day." I really didn't care that much. My mail wasn't urgent but I was horrified that she would treat me in that way. I never reported it. I never forgot it. I never saw her again. But you can be rest assured that I would report her now to the inspector if there happened to be another occurrence.

Vatican directs Buffalo bishop not to reduce historic church to profane use; diocese will appeal
Catholic World News - January 23, 2014
Siding with former parishioners, the Congregation for the Clergy has decreed that a historic Buffalo parish cannot be reduced to profane use.
"In a decree dated Jan. 7, 2014, the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy has upheld the appeal of former St. Ann parishioners, who argued against the reduction of St. Ann Church in Buffalo to profane (non-religious) use," the Diocese of Buffalo said in a statement. "The decree also prohibits any potential developer from repurposing the property."
"Bishop Richard J. Malone is reviewing the decree, and said the diocese will file an appeal before the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican's highest juridical body," the statement continued. "It will also be up to the bishop to decide what will happen with the use of St. Ann Church in the interim."
The diocese had closed the parish in 2012. "On Aug. 18, 2013, the Diocese of Buffalo announced the church would be razed due to severe interior and exterior deterioration, with re-construction costs estimated at between $8 million and $12 million," the statement continued.

I hope these laymen who are to have a say in Church governance will come up with the $8-$12 million it will take to keep the church building from deteriorating and falling into a pile of bricks! Maybe they can start selling lemonade from a stand right away! With the weather in Buffalo now, that ought to sell well! Or maybe the Congregation for the Clergy will donate the money! Otherwise, the bishop's hands may be tied. Maybe he can close a school or two. Oh wait! Maybe the lay men will appeal!

So, are we going to spend $8-12 million to restore this building? Would Pope Francis be in favor of that? Maybe the laity who made the appeal will also provide the funds.

Is this part of the "Francis effect"? I hope so because it pulls the rug from under the notion of clericalism and elevates to a reality the premise that laymen are important, that they deserve to have a real say in Church governance.

Testimony of Mary
Margaret Overbey, Ph.D.
Director of Government Relations
on Behalf of the
American Anthropological Association
Submitted to the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies
US House of Representatives
Fiscal Year 2005
in Support of the
National Endowment for the Humanities
April 2, 2004
Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) appreciates the opportunity to submit testimony to support an appropriation of $162 million for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in FY 2005. We appreciate President Bush's recognition of the importance of NEH in proposing to increase funding by 19.7% in FY 2005. We support the President's FY 2005 budget recommendation of $162 million for NEH, and we urge you to fund NEH at this level.
We thank you, Mr. Chairman, and members of the Subcommittee for the increased funding you have provided to NEH in recent years. We ask you to strengthen that support now and in the future.
NEH remains the Nation's single largest source of funding for humanities programs. Since it's founding in 1965, NEH has enjoyed bipartisan support for carrying out its unique role in fostering Americans' knowledge and appreciation of the humanities through a range of activities undertaken at the national and local levels. These efforts include, among others, support for research and scholarship, public education efforts, classroom teaching, preservation efforts, media programming, and museum exhibitions. In addition, NEH supports state humanities councils in 50 states to provide education and outreach to communities to ensure that the humanities reach all Americans.
The President's request of $162 million includes $33 million for the We the People initiative. We support We the People initiative as a broadly implemented initiative to enhance Americans knowledge of American history. This includes developing an understanding of American history from its early inhabitance by Native Americans and early explorations and settlements by Europeans through current global relations and influences that affect American history. We the People will inspire a wide range of projects that will advance Americans knowledge of our Nation's history as a whole.
We believe that NEH plays an important and unique role in enhancing our understanding of our Nation's culture and cultures around the world. Who we are, where we came from, what unites us as a Nation, and what unites us as a worldwide community? These are but a few of the questions that projects funded by NEH help us to answer.
NEH supports scholarly research by anthropologists, archaeologists that have led to new discoveries and re-shaped interpretations of human history. For instance, much of the historic archaeological research in the US and abroad is supported by NEH. Particularly significant are the studies focused on the origins of civilizations in the Near East and the Americas. Every day, new interpretations of how civilizations arose or declined result at least in part from NEH funding.
Importantly, the translation of these findings often makes its way to the American public through other NEH-funded projects. NEH supports programs to educate the public through museum exhibitions, television programs and films. In addition, NEH supports teacher training to ensure that K-12 teachers and college professors remain current and fresh and impart new knowledge to students in the classroom.
We provide three examples of these projects supported by NEH to illustrate the significant contributions that result from a federal investment in NEH.
1. NEH funding enabled archaeologist Richard Zettler (University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology) to conduct archaeological excavations at one of the ancient cities in Mesopotamia, Tell es-Sweyhat in northern Syria.
Zettler received funding to explore the topography and structure of Tell es-Sweyhat in order to understand the origins and rise of urbanism in early northern Mesopotamia. Dating from the 3rd millennium, Tell es-Sweyhat promises to reveal much about the story of how cities developed and functioned in Mesopotamia. Tell es-Sweyhat appears to have been a substantial settlement and offers important opportunities for understanding the dynamics of subsistence living in marginal environments and the role of pastoralism in the emergence of early state societies.
Zettler's research builds upon his earlier excavations at the site. These excavations include a fully intact group tomb, circa 2500-2250 BC, in an extensive cemetery that may contain as many as 150 such tombs. Both the tomb, believed to be a family burial, and the cemetery surrounding it, have yielded important new information about the ancient people who once lived and flourished in this now arid land. Along with the tomb, Zettler and colleagues have found more than 100 unbroken pottery vessels, a variety of copper or bronze objects including weapons such as daggers, axes and a javelin with a string notch, and a model cart with wheels.
In addition to archaeological research, NEH provides funding to museums to translate the findings of research to the public through museum exhibitions. Zettler's research in Mesopotamia serves as such an example. Zettler's NEH-funded scholarship in Near East archaeology enabled him to develop, along with that of his co-curators Dr. Holly Pittman and Dr. Donald P. Hansen, a traveling exhibition "Treasures from the Royal Tombs of Ur" at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. The exhibition includes more than 200 ancient Sumerian artifacts from the site of Ur in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). The artifacts were largely from excavations in the 1920s and 1930s that had been divided between the University of Pennsylvania, the British Museum in London and the Iraq Museum in Baghdad. Zettler framed the importance of the exhibit in today's world, "We wanted Penn Museum's visitors to be able to see and consider this important material while interest in Iraq's endangered cultural heritage, and in fact the endangered cultural heritage of so many peoples today, is so much in the headlines." Since 1998, the exhibition has traveled to 11 museums and attracted thousands of visitors.
2. NEH has provided funding for a new PBS documentary "Do You Speak American?" to explore American linguistic diversity.
"Do You Speak American?" examines the history and continuing development of American English among the more than 82 percent of Americans who speak English at home. A team of linguists was assembled by the Capital of Texas Public Telecommunications Council to develop the three-part PBS documentary, accompanying DVD and website that will address questions of power, education and access to resources, and our assumptions about language.
John Baugh of Stanford University and William Labov of the University of Pennsylvania, among others, analyze the way we use language in America and the changes that English has undergone over time. Examining such diverse sources as clips of Presidential speeches, interviews with newspaper editors, and instant messaging slang, the project illustrates changes in speech based on situation and interpretations of those changes. In addition, the project examines the changing sound of English. For example, the Great Lakes region used to be considered the area where the most normal or standard accent of English was found. That has now expanded to encompass the Midland area that includes Ohio, Michigan, and Northern Indiana to Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
A surprising finding of the project is that American speech is not becoming more homogenous, as had been predicted in the past. Rather than making language or speaking styles more similar, movies, television and music have served to develop new forms of language and speech. In addition, regional origin, ethnicity, social and economic class and level of education play an important role in the way we speak.
The project includes an educational outreach program that will bring the study of language to middle and high school students. The website will enable users to access continually updated information. The PBS documentary will premier this fall, and the DVD and website will at the same time.
3. NEH funding enabled archaeologist William Kelso (Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) to locate the site of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States.
Founded in 1607, Jamestown was long believed by scholars to be lost in the James River. Kelso's work demonstrated conclusively that this valuable early American settlement remained intact on shore. Through the Jamestown Rediscovery Project, Kelso and his colleagues have been excavating the site to reconstruct this important phase of American history. Their findings have been reshaping our knowledge of our Nation's founding and how the early settlers lived. In addition to the more than 400,000 17th century artifacts that have been found, Kelso and colleagues have determined the outline of James Fort, unearthed burials of early Jamestown residents, and uncovered Jamestown's last Statehouse.
In 2003, excavations uncovered what is suspected to be the grave of one of Jamestown's most important founders, Captain Bartholomew Gosnold. The burial site was within the fort, and on the casket is a ceremonial staff that Kelso thinks is a flagpole. Gosnold died a few months after arriving in Jamestown, and historic records indicate that he was buried with considerable ceremony. Descendents of Grosnold have been identified, and DNA testing will be done to confirm the identity of the remains.
The discoveries at Jamestown have served as the basis for public education campaign that includes tours of Jamestown and Virtual Jamestown, an interactive website that provides an overview of the finds, maps of John Smith's voyages, and reference materials. The discoveries at Jamestown have been profiled in two PBS programs, "Unearthing Secret America: What Happened at Jamestown?" and "Secrets of the Dead II". The film "What Happened at Jamestown" explores the fact and fiction surrounding Jamestown and presents what life was like for the early colonists. The film "Secrets of the Dead II" examines the findings revealed by the human remains at Jamestown from the perspective of a forensic anthropologist.
The Jamestown Rediscovery project represents an exemplary success story. NEH provided the necessary seed funding to get the research going and state and private funding followed. Since the discovery of Jamestown, the Jamestown Rediscovery project has received funding from the Commonwealth of Virginia, corporate sources such as Wachovia and Anheuser Busch, and individuals. Kelso's work continues at Jamestown in preparation for celebrating the 400th anniversary of the settlement in 2007.
Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, these are but three examples of the outstanding scholarship and public benefits that result from a federal investment in the NEH. We urge you to increase the funding for NEH to $162 million in FY 2005 and to support the rebuilding of NEH as the Nation's premier granting agency for the humanities. To do so will benefit the advancement of scholarship, the American people, and the Nation.

Big Boi - Mother of Dragons (Lyrics - Paroles)
Do you have a shred of honor?
You are now hand of the king and protector of the realm
All of the powers is yours [you did ?]
We jump and take it
Dungeon dragons, kings and queens
B.I.G. then, mentally weak and now I'm feelin' stronger
Like the rehab on my knee won't be that much longer
Before Khaleesi take the Iron Throne
They call her the mother of dragons, you under attack, nigga this our home
It's Targaryen, the rightful bloodline
So don't you worry about the Red Weddin' that made it crunch time
You're the last forever, maybe death in Heaven
Who am I to second guess it just because Big's life is bein' tested
See the question is to be or not to be, I'm happy mom made me
And pappy didn't blame me so I'm considered the blessin'
An exception to the rule, but rules are made to be broken
And my question is to you, see there's no hope in bein' hopeless
As the brokest nigga with eviction notice on his door
It's possible for anything that happen
I keep on rappin' through the sadness and the pain, never to feel this way again
A heavy dose of novacaine couldn't numb me
Or ease it, d-d-d-dumbin' down, now that's too easy
Life is but a dream and I'm wide awake and the sheeple lyin', sleepin'
You win or you die, the White Walkers and Grim Reapers
Either you end it or not, not get caught with death or treason
So fuck the Lannisters and everyone that ride with 'em
Jon Snow and the Night's Watch finna slide some iron in 'em
[Hook x5]

Is Love Itself the Overriding Theme of the Bhagavad Gita? (Gita Talk 12)
(There is no additional reading assignment for the next two weeks.
We are discussing some of the major themes of Chapters 1-12.)
To some prominent Gita scholars, like Graham Schweig, love itself is the overriding theme of the Gita—two way love, we love the world and the world loves us back.
Catherine Ghosh has devoted one of her wonderful videos to this idea :
(See also Gita Talk #8: Very Special Guest Graham Schweig and
The Dance of Divine Love: An Interview with Catherine Ghosh)
My own feelings are well expressed in my original review of Mitchell:
Falling Head-Over-Heals In Love with the Universe
For those of you who have always wanted to absorb the spectacular wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, but have found it difficult, I highly recommend Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation by Stephen Mitchell…
The Bhagavad Gita is quite literally about falling in love with the indescribable wonder of the universe, that is to say, God. These two are synonymous in the Gita. (Believe it or not, the text itself says that you can approach God as either an unfathomable cosmic life-force or as an intimate personal diety. Either leads you to the same boundless love and joy.)
The Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutra are two of the most important ancient texts of Yoga. They could not be more different. The Yoga Sutra is mostly secular in nature, and mentions God only briefly and perfunctorily. The Bhagavad Gita, in contrast, is literally "The Song of the Beloved Lord", and most of the text is the voice of the awesome life-force of the universe itself.
The Yoga Sutra is a cookbook for achieving inner peace. The Bhagavad Gita, in contrast, won't settle for anything less than ecstatic union with the divine. Put them together and you have the astounding whole of Yoga philosophy in two relatively short texts.
Try Mitchell's version of the Bhagavad Gita. You'll be glad you did.
Last but not least, here are the most relevant passages from the Gita itself (although, keep in mind that Schweig and Ghosh would say the entire text is about infinite love):
(For those new to Gita in a Nutshell, the voice speaking here is the infinitely wondrous universe itself, what some refer to as the "Unfathomable Life Force of the Universe" and others choose to call "God". In the Gita these are one and the same. See GN #2.)
However men try to reach me.
I return their love with my love;
whatever path they may travel,
it leads to me in the end. (BG 4.11)
For men whose minds are forever
focused on me, whose love
has grown deep through meditation,
I am easy to reach, Arjuna. (BG 8.14)
But the truly wise , Arjuna,
who dive deep into themselves,
fearless, one-pointed, know me
as the inexhaustible source.
Always chanting my praise,
steadfast in their devotion,
they make their lives an unending
hymn to my endless love. (BG 9.13-14)
I am the beginning and the end,
origin and dissolution,
refuge, home, true lover,
womb and imperishable seed. (BG 9.18)
He who can understand
the glory of my manifestations
is forever united with me
by his unwavering love. (BG 10.7)
He who acts for my sake,
loving me, free of attachment,
with benevolence toward all beings,
will come to me in the end. (BG 11.55)
Those who love and revere me
with unwavering faith, always
centering their minds on me-
they are the most perfect in yoga. (BG 12.2)
He who, devoted to me,
is beyond joy and hatred, grief
and desire, good and bad fortune-
that man is the one I love best.
The same to both friend and foe,
the same in disgrace or honor,
suffering or joy, untroubled,
indifferent to praise and blame,
quiet, filled with devotion,
content with whatever happens,
at home wherever he is-
that man is the the one I love best.
Those who realize the essence
of duty, who trust me completely
and surrender their lives to me –
I love them with very great love. (BG 12.17-20)
If you focus your mind on me
and revere me with all your heart,
you will surely come to me; this
I promise, because I love you. (BG 18.65)
Please give us your thoughts.

Of course you are right, Kate. Romantic love is am illusion. Read Robert A. Johnson's book "She." Based on the fable of Tristan and Iseult. A cautionary tale on the cult of Romance, and our societies blindness to its illusions, which started in the 11th century with chivalry, knights, troubadores, etc.
Real love, is not based on projection, but arises from within, with the true self or psyche. The Gita makes this clear in dozens of examples. Love is Man – The Mental Being. Mental Being is Self Consciousness. Self Consciousness is Self Respect, and Self Respect is the way to the Life of Truth, Knowledge, Power, and Love. That's the relationship Krishna has with Arjuna, who is really the same Being.

A Serious Undertaking
Besides horsepower/torque specifications, several elements separate Impreza 2.5i, WRX, and WRX STI models. Turning the ignition key in the WRX STI tells you one difference right away, and that's the sound. Non-modified 2.5i and WRX models are quiet. Sometimes you have to strain to hear that SUBARU BOXER engine sound. But there's no doubt about what's under the hood when you crank the ignition of a WRX STI. It rumblesthat beautiful Subaru flat-four engine note.
I could tell by looking at the tires that this particular WRX STI Sedan had been involved in some major driving. Even at 3,400 miles, the tires obviously were worn, showing the signs of (over-)active steering and braking.
The WRX STI is a serious automobile – what I refer to as a "real car." It's more than transportation or a daily driver. It's more than some of its comfort and convenience amenities. Enthusiasts and fans love this car for its mechanical capabilities and what they can do with it, even if the "doing" is touring.
Along with the 305-horsepower turbocharged engine, the WRX STI has several features that evolve it from "interesting" to "serious." These have to do with driving the car, and among them are Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE), Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD), and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC). All of these allow driver input.
For example, you have to be extremely careful and alert when applying full throttle with the VDC turned off. Traction control and stability control won't be there to help you out of trouble. How do I know? I was on a test-drive. You have to try out things.
VDC can be set for three modes of operation, too. These are Standard, Off, and performance-oriented modes. Over time, a driver will find his or her comfort level with each mode.
DCCD manages the way power splits between the front and rear wheels through the center differential. A switch on the center console allows the driver to choose between a manual and three automatic modes. I was able to play with these settings on paved and gravel roads, and you can feel the difference. The closer you get to full lock, the tighter the steering feels. Making full use of the three controls will take a lot of practice to match their level of sophisticated technology with your level of driving competence. (Find more on these technologies in the Blueprint article "Tailoring the STI – VDC, DCCD, SI-DRIVE" in Version 5.1.)
Besides the controls themselves, the presence of the three technologies is reflected in their readouts in the instrument panel. The instrument panel is another area in which the 2.5i, WRX, and WRX STI differ. Instrumentation for the 2.5i follows a minimalist strategy, with a large, center-mounted speedometer and smaller tachometer gauges. The WRX switches to a larger, center-mounted tachometer and smaller speedometer, as well as adding an engine-temperature gauge. The WRX STI has unique markings on its center-mounted tachometer and smaller speedometer, plus it has indicators for DCCD, SI-DRIVE, and two-part lights for VDC.
Across the dashboard, even the trim surrounding the driver and front passenger reflects the difference between models. The 2.5i and WRX have dark gray trim set in the otherwise black dash. Trim in the WRX STI is black.
Also note that the view out the rear window is hardly obscured by the spoiler. Instead, the spoiler frames the view of the road behind.

Are Facials Safe for Our Skin?
Doctor Answers 9
Chemical peels and facials for dark skin
Dr. Karamanoukian
Web reference: http://surgery90210.com/cosmetic-dermatology/73/melapeel.aspx
Facials are safe and beneficial
There are many benefits to a facial in addition to being relaxing. Facials should be performed by qualified professionals who can analyze skin and decide which products should be used. Extractions clean out pores and the massage can stimulate circulation. Facials can be combined with chemical peels or microdermabrasion for an anti-aging treatment. The advantage of having a facial in a dermatologist's office is that you can be examined by the dermatologist if the aesthetician finds an unusual growth that the patient may not have noticed.
Facials - equivocal!
The biggest benefit from a facial is the 'feel good' factor, attributable primarily to the massage component. The exfoliation/ creams do not offer a very great benefit over some superior products, which can be used comfortably at home. Also, now with home microdermabrasion/ dry exfoliation tools, and home chemical peels, there is no definite added advantage to a facial, whatever its name!
However, one does 'feel good' and 'pampered' after a facial, which doesnt quite happen when massaging one's own face! So I guess facials are here to stay, but in patients with acne/ oily skin, it is better to avoid these, since overenthusiastic massaging and hydration can end up causing more pimples to break out!

Are facials safe for our skin?
Are facials safe for our skin? The answer to this question is not straight forward as there are many different types of facials. They certainly can be but all procedures have risks. Does the facial simply entail rubbing a mild cream on the face or are acids being applied and other prcedures being done? Who is performing the facial? Is the person licensed? Are there underlying skin problems? What are the goals of the facial? Facials are generally considered low risk but only get your facial from a qualified professional.
Facials are safe for the skin
Facials do help
Facials can be helpful for a number of people, for both those with healthy skin, and those with problem skin such as acne. We often recommend monthly facials for 4-6 treatments, and then maintenance 3-4 times per year. A proper facial will soothe your skin, clean out plugged pores, treat and reduce acne breakouts and give you more hydration and a nice glow to your skin.
Facials are good for the skin
Facials can help to improve and rejuventate the skin by exfoliating the top layers of the skin. Enjoy!
Facials are safe - if done right
Getting a facial can be enjoyable and help you look your best. However, be sure that your esthetician is using high quality products and is gentle with your skin. Too aggressive extractions, etc can cause persistent dark spots on patients with darker toned skin.
Facials great thing to maintain your youth
Hello, We recommend to our patients to do facial at least once a month. it is indeed a great way to maintain you skin glowing and young. Definitely, make sure to choose an esthetician with experience, knowledgeable and especially make sure she uses excellent products.
Good luck! :-)

Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by chillinginparadisex3: LIFE OF THE PARTY(:
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Celebrity Summit Canada & New England Cruises
Embarkation: We sailed out of Bayonne, New Jersey. Cape Liberty is OLD. Personally, I prefer sailing out of New York. It goes much smoother and faster. The lines were pretty long and became tedious. Some people think its ohkay to cut other people in line. That was ANNOYING. However, once on the boat, paradise begins(:
Where to begin....where to begin?
Let's start with the one and only, our cruise director, Kirsti. Boy, did she need some spunk. BORING. Honestly, I can't remember a time where she announced happenings around the ship. She only talked on the loudspeaker about.. hmmmm... maybe 2 times..? And that was just hello and goodbye. Actually, she never even said goodbye to us. Her 'partner-in-crime', Katie, did that job for her. I must say, I only saw Kirsti and Katie about 3 times around the ship, not including the shows they were at. Some advice for Kirsti: WE LIKE ANNOUNCEMENTS. Most people like to be informed about More the happenings around the ship. For example: The last night of our cruise, there was a farewell party in Revelations. LEGIT NO ONE SHOWED UP; well except for my family and part of the kid/teen clubs. Now, I'm 14 and my partner-in-crime is 12. We absolutely loved having the dance floor to ourselves. But it would've been nice to have an audience. Kirsti, ADVERTISE PLEASE.
Now let's move on to.... the FOOD. YUM. The buffet was deliciouso. MMMMMM(: The dining room was beautiful. It was quite elegant. The service was top of the line. Shoutout to my man Brian. And also assistant waiter Robert. They definitely were a wonderful part of my cruise. We got to know them really well and it was a fabulous experience. I must say that the chocolate buffet was gorgeous. Ice sculptures and all. The poolside grill had amazing burgers and fries. And they also had fantastic cookies. YUM. If you're looking for a cruise with excellent food, the Celebrity Summit is for you!
Alright let's talk about the entertainment. All I have to say is ELK ISLAND IS MY LIFE. Yes. Elk Island is a courtet, well it was a trio when we went on because the bass player did not make it on the ship. But anywayz, they were AMAZINGLY AWESOME AND FABULOUS. The singer and acoustic guitar player, Justin, was super talented. I would not want to miss any of their shows. PLEASE GO SEE THEM. I'm telling you, they are a MUST-SEE show! He sings like an angel. They play your "all time favorites", and he didn't tell them to put that. He dedicated a song to me(: I am proud to say that I am Elk Island's BIGGEST FAN.
The pool was beautiful and I enjoyed laying out. There was always a lounge chair available. The music at the pool was pretty fabulous. And there were great dance parties and entertainment. Shoutout to James. He brings the fun everywhere.
Oh yeah, some good advice: DO NOT LOSE YOUR CARD. I lost mine and it took forever to get a new one because the guest relations line was so long. So hold onto your card for dear life.
Kay, so I'd like to finish up by saying PARADISE. Yeup. This cruise was so much fun and I wish I was still there now. We danced and partied every night. All in all, we rocked it til we docked it. Enough said(: Less

Western brands enter Russia
25 July 2013
MOSCOW: Western brands are rushing to enter the increasingly lucrative Russian market, as the nation's middle class undergoes explosive growth.
Apple, and retailers Asos and Debenhams have launched in Russia, along with the super-franchise Peppa Pig children's brand, while Amazon is set to join eBay in the country,
Marketing Week reports
The Brookings Institution forecasts that the Russian middle class will grow by 16% up to 2020, representing 86% of the population with spending power of $1.3 trillion.
Marks & Spencer, the food and fashion retailer, now has 38 outlets in Russia, and is benefiting from rising demand for its affordable offerings. The UK chain has also taken advantage of the lack of local fashion retailers.
"There's a strong appetite for western brands [in Russia]," said Jan Heere, international director at Marks & Spencer.
"There are local players but they don't have the maturity that western brands bring in terms of product development and branding," he added.
Part of Marks' success is down to its understanding the difference between consumers in Russia and its home market, including showcasing textiles like cashmere and wool, which are exceptionally popular in Russian fashion.
Ian Wood, global strategy director at Landor, a marketing agency that works with Russian brands, noted that consumers have moved away from the ostentatious "bling" culture that arrived after the collapse of communism.
He suggested that consumers are taking a more open and value-driven approach to brands and spending.
Debenhams, which is also seeking to grow its Russian presence, has used the expertise of local partners to help it expand. It opened its first Moscow store last year through Debruss, a franchise company established with Russian business interests.
"Many retailers have gone to the Middle East because it's probably one of the easiest markets, but after that Russia offered the biggest opportunity for growth from a European perspective," said John Scott, head of international business development at Debenhams.
Meanwhile, worries about corruption and bureaucracy, which have put off some western companies, are being addressed. Russia joining the World Trade Organisation last year means it will have to obey a series of standards that will open the market further.

Our mission is to help students become biblically competent, academically proficient, spiritually formed and culturally engaged servant leaders, shaped to be a transforming force in the church, community and world.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.

"Multnomah creates an environment for personal, spiritual and intellectual growth. It gives a framework from which to approach all of life."
Luke Cirillo
Bible and Theology graduate
Development director,
Pregnancy Resource Center
Since 1936, Multnomah University has been teaching men and women how to apply biblical wisdom to all facets of their lives. We're committed to keeping the unchanging Word of God central to all we do and teach at Multnomah, and this commitment is embodied in our core values and mission.
As a biblical university, we help students deepen their understanding of the Word and their chosen field while they explore the complexities of modern society. By the time they graduate, they're prepared to be a transforming force in their church, their community and their world.
Multnomah offers an array of undergraduate, seminary and graduate programs. All of them are rooted in the truth of God's Word and the recognition that every student has something valuable to offer. Our professors teach students how to interpret the Word for themselves, and they join them in learning opportunities that span the globe. The result: Our students emerge with the experience and biblical wisdom they need to make a significant contribution to their area of focus.
The close-knit nature of our community is a true gift. Our students, faculty and staff are part of a family that's right in step with Jesus, praying, worshiping and living life together. Against this backdrop, they form incredibly rich relationships that stand the test of time. That sense of family extends to the alumni and givers who help us fulfill our mission every day. We're all drawn to MU for the same reasons: to serve each other as we grow in our faith, and to make the most of the talents that God has entrusted to us.
Our Portland students are in a pretty sweet spot. They're minutes from spacious parks, a short drive from downtown and refreshingly close to snow-capped mountains, sweeping vistas, ocean waves, scenic trails — on it goes. They're also connected to service, ministry and internship opportunities that speak directly to their interests. Our Reno and Seattle students are making a difference in their neighborhoods as well — and they're welcomed as a redeeming presence in any setting.
Our students and alumni are transforming lives and serving communities across the street and around the world. They're promoting healing as counselors and ministering to congregations throughout the country. They're providing comfort to orphans in southern India and lending their energy to cultural development projects in Africa. And no matter where God leads them, they're building on the lessons they learned at Multnomah and treating people from all walks of life with respect, sensitivity and dignity.
We place a high priority on delivering an exceptional education at an affordable price. Our undergraduate tuition is $7,000 less than the national average, while our graduate, seminary and degree completion programs represent a compelling value as well. And because we recognize the challenges that many families face when financing their education, we offer a full range of scholarships, grants and awards that are designed to meet the needs of our students. It's all part of our commitment to you.
