Kiwanis La'shon Burton, auto mechanic
Kiwanis La'shon Burton, known as "Kiwan" to most, and as "Hucka Buck" to his family, was born to Gina Burton and Lentford "Mike" Handy Nov. 22, 1989 in Lewes. He departed this life Wednesday, March 5, 2014.
Kiwan graduated from Sussex Central Senior High School in Georgetown. He received a certificate of study in the auto mechanics trade from Keystone Job Corps. Kiwan used that skill as an employee at Murphy's Auto Repair in Philadelphia, Pa. Kiwan spent most of his life in Millsboro with his grandfather, Donald Hitchens. He left Delaware to stay in Philadelphia for a brief while, but returned home because he missed his family. Kiwan was a shy young man with a beautiful smile. He was known for his basketball skills and his love for eating. Not a man of many words, Kiwan had a particular way of letting you know that he was listening during a conversation. He would affirm that he was listening by saying "hmm, hmm," His answers to your questions would be short and direct, nothing more. When he said "okay" that was his way of indicating that he was done with the conversation.
The memories of his life are left to be cherished by his parents, Gina Burton of Millsboro and Mike Handy (Erin) of Frederica; grandparents, Donald Hitchens and Faye Burton of Millsboro, and Kevin Dennis of Millsboro; six sisters, Latroya Burton of Millsboro, Michele'le Whaley and Najwa Whaley of Dover, Ayonna Maddox of Bridgeville, Mikeya Johnson and Jayla Johnson of Seaford; two brothers, Jamar "Lil Mike" Handy of Laurel and Justin Walls of New Castle; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
The funeral will be at noon, Saturday, March 15, at Pentecostal Church of God of Lincoln, 26890 Greentop Road, Lincoln, where friends may call two hours prior. Arrangements by Bennie Smith Funeral Home.

Global Health Service Partnership
Peace Corps Response1111 20th St. NW
Washington, DC, 20526
Phone855.855.1961 ext. 2250
The Peace Corps, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and Seed Global Health launched the Global Health Service Partnership (GHSP), a program that aims to improve clinical education, expand the base of physician and nursing educators and build healthcare capacity in countries that face critical shortages of healthcare providers.
Applications for July 2016 departure are now closed. Contact email@example.com to receive an alert when applications for July 2017 departure open in Spring 2016.
Learn More
Applicants must be U.S. citizens with active U.S. physician or nursing licensure. Competitive physician applicants should be board eligible or board certified in their core specialties, and nurse applicants should have completed a BSN with a minimum of three years' experience in a clinical specialty or an advanced degree (MPH, MSN, ARPN, DNP, PhD, or CNM). Before applying, review important Medical information for Applicants to learn about medical conditions not likely supported during Peace Corps service.
Background: Demand for More Health Expertise
The Global Health Service Partnership (GHSP) helps address critical shortages of qualified health professionals where they are most needed. The goal is to increase local capacity and strengthen the quality and sustainability of medical and nursing education and clinical practices. The GHSP responds to an expressed host country demand, advances PEPFAR's commitment to training and retaining 140,000 health-care workers in countries with high disease burden, and also provides an innovative volunteer opportunity for Americans to collaborate with faculty peers as educators in resource limited settings.
An Innovative Partnership
The Peace Corps and Seed Global Health are committed to cultivating stronger, sustainable health systems by training a new generation of physicians and nurses, and are working together on recruitment, site selection, volunteer support and program evaluation. The Peace Corps has a rich, 50-year history of preparing, sending and supporting American Volunteers for service overseas and will play that role in the Global Health Service Partnership. Seed Global Health is a 501(C)(3) housed at Massachusetts General Hospital's Center for Global Health; working with private philanthropy, they will provide stipends of up to $30,000 to offset educational debt, mortgage commitment and dependent tuition. Seed Global Health staff supports the Peace Corps with their expertise in medical and nursing education and knowledge of clinical education in developing countries.
GHSP sends trained health professionals to serve as adjunct faculty in medical, nursing and clinical officer training schools of partnering countries. Launched in March 2012, the first cohort of medical and nursing professionals left for Tanzania, Malawi, and Uganda in July 2013.
Program Overview
In collaboration with PEPFAR country teams, Peace Corps works closely with ministries of health and education as well as identified educational and health institutions to increase capacity and strengthen the quality and sustainability of medical and nursing education and clinical practices.
- Since GHSP launched in 2012, the program has placed 97 physicians and nurses in training institutions across Tanzania, Malawi, and Uganda. Starting in the summer of 2016, GHSP will open the program in Swaziland with nurse educators and may expand to additional countries and disciplines in future years.
- Participants in the program will serve one-year assignments through Peace Corps Response, a program that offers high-impact, short-term assignments for qualified Americans. Volunteers may also apply to extend their service for a second year.
- In coordination with host country faculty, Volunteers primarily function as physician or nursing educators and also participate in direct clinical care as appropriate to their teaching roles.
- Competitive physician applicants should be board eligible or board certified doctors in their core specialties, and nurse applicants should have completed a BSN with an MPH, MSN, ARPN, DNP, PhD, or CNM and have a minimum of three years' experience in a clinical specialty.

Unique tips for parents preparing children for college
Alyssa Broff is checking out some meal options at the University of South Florida. She and her daughter, Kelsey, are on a parent-student orientation tour because Kelsey is starting classes this summer.
What is mom most worried about?
"The most important thing, I think, is making sure she's smart with her finances," she said. "She's got her first job – keeping control of that money not, getting into a lot of debt."
Here are five other things USF College of Nursing Assistant Professor Resheeta Chandler said parents need to think about now.
1. Organize your family's policy regarding information access. Your child is now legally an adult and you won't have access to any medical or academic records unless you fill out forms. "Hopefully parents don't expect that unless they go about doing something like a health care advocacy or maybe go into the health clinic and set up something that says, 'Yes my parents can have access to my medical records.'"
2. Tour the college health center. Most incoming freshmen have never been to the emergency room without their parents and may even be unaware of how to make a doctor's appointment, fill prescriptions, or use medical insurance.
3. Have a talk about safety. It is shocking for parents to hear the 90 percent of the time a victim knows their assailant and only 12 percent of all attacks are ever reported. "They have a lot of emergency stands on campus," Chandler said. "If you're out walking from class at night, you can just press the button. It's blue and it calls the actual campus police department right to your location." So make sure you ask what each university you visit has in terms of safety features.
4. Encourage public transportation use. Many college freshmen have never used it before.
5. Talk about nutrition.
Bonus tips: Go over how to talk to new roommates when problems come up. You may also want to talk about intimacy and binge drinking so students are prepared to navigate those situations.

By Natalie Bahadur 2012-03-01 00:00:00 Ah, spring. How we've missed you. Your highly anticipated arrival means we've survived another winter and it's time to turn our thoughts to the delights of spring: fresh, warm air; birds in song; flowers in bloom. And of course – a lighter and prettier wardrobe sans boots, hats, mitts and heavy winter wools. Wondering what's on deck and in fashion this spring? Karen Kwinter, Canadian Living's fashion and beauty editor-at-large, reveals what's trendy, from styles and colours to fabrics and accessories. The top fashion trend of spring 2012 According to Kwinter, the leading fashion this spring is colour. So kiss your drab winter greys and blacks goodbye! Kwinter says that when it comes to colour, anything goes, from brights to pastels. "The number one colour is orange, followed by hot pink, royal blue and last -- but never least -- yellow," says Kwinter. "As long as it's saturated, it works."Stripes will also be popular this year, she says, moving from "merely nautical to bright and colourful."The must-have looks for springSpring 2012 will introduce many colourful florals and stripes, as well as colour-blocking in both knee- and maxi-length skirts and dresses. And if you've ever shied away from bright-coloured pants, this is the season to give them a try. "Bright pants are the way to go for spring," says Kwinter. "Skinny and cropped [pants] look perfect in red, pink, royal blue, turquoise…and even yellow," she says. The colour-blocking trend continues its way all the way south to your toes. So be on the lookout for colour-blocked platform sandals to make your feet happy this season. Pretty and colourful ballet slippers also remain trendy. The classic trench coat is a springtime perennial, but this year, ditch the drab tan or khaki trench and opt for a cropped version in a bright colour, suggests Kwinter. And when it comes to bags? "Cross-body bags are a great warm-weather look but if you need a little more room, opt for a colour-blocked tote," she says.

A fun read, Ted. Keep it comin'!
Quote of the month (perhaps year): "I do smell guitars." Love it!
Hey Ted, this is good writing. A story that i can see feel and smell as i read. Keep em coming. Thanks
Damn, Ted! You wrote a sort of short tale... and I enjoy the reading. Bravo! ...Anyway... be careful about nostalgia... memories are often chained with youth... at least in my case! I remember my first guitar too... and my second one... but I didn't remain in love with them... as I didn't with my first sweetheart and the countless that followed up...Ahahah...Obviously I'm joking.. I had almost the same amount of guitars and fiancées... and I'm not going to tell how many guitars I've had 'till now!!...Nor under torture!
Thanks for the good time

Local films achieved 37% share of box office
SEOUL — Local films continued their recent downward trend at the local box office for the first half of the year.But there was also good news, as sales of Korean films to the U.S. and elsewhere improved. Local films achieved a 37% share of the first half's box office, according to the Korean Film Council. In the Seoul market, Korean movies were down nearly seven percentage points from the equivalent period last year. However exports, as measured by minimum guarantees paid by foreign licensees to Korean sales companies, grew by 37% from $7.45 million to $10.2 million. The Seoul box office was up 8%, though theatrical admissions up only 0.9% from 2007 due to increased ticket prices as theaters and mobile phone companies cut back their discount programs. For the first half of 2008, 50 Korean films were released with five making it into the box office top 10. "The Chaser," which took No. 1 spot with 5.07 million admissions, and "Forever the Moment" (previously known "Women's Handball Team") scored strongly at the beginning of the year the first quarter. But in the second quarter, the tide of Hollywood blockbusters headed by "Iron Man" took over. In the nationwide market, U.S. movies took a 54% market share, European pics 4.4%, Chinese films 2.9%, and Japanese films 0.9%. Over the past two years, exports have been sinking. But this year, sales of Korean films to North America increased from $154,000 in the first half of 2007 to $2.84 million, totaling 28% of total exports. Figures were boosted by the remake deals for "The Chaser" and "Seven Days" as well as an increase in home video rights sales. Asia, up 18% to $4.85 million, still represents the biggest market for Korean films. Importantly, exports to Japan were up 16% to $2.56 million, while sales to France dropped 77% to $416,000. In total exports to Europe stood at $2.21 million. Among distributors, CJ Entertainment, which now handles local films and movies from DreamWorks Animation and Paramount, dominated again, accounting for a third of the market.

In two weeks, the UN-REDD Programme will host its seventh Policy Board meeting in Berlin, Germany. These meetings are critically important as they provide a forum for the full range of UN-REDD Programme stakeholders to participate in the decisions that shape the future direction of the Programme.
At the upcoming Policy Board meeting in Berlin, Nigeria—a partner country of the Programme since February 2010—will present its National Programme document and funding request for the Board's consideration. Part of Nigeria's presentation will highlight their most recent REDD+ progress, including exciting work in the area of piloting participatory governance assessments. Last month's bomb attack on the UN headquarters in Abuja has not discouraged Nigeria from moving ahead with its National Programme.
The Policy Board will also hear informal presentations from Colombia, Guatemala, Republic of Congo and Sri Lanka on current efforts to prepare REDD+ strategies. Progress in the UN-REDD Global Programme will be presented, including updates on the Programme's work in the area of Monitoring and Information and REDD+ as well as progress in developing guidelines for upholding free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). Further clarification requested by the Policy Board on the Global Programme Framework Document (approved inter-sessionally in August) will also be presented.
Once again, the UN-REDD Programme is pleased to be coordinating with the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) in holding back-to-back governing meetings (FCPF's Participants Committee meeting is happening in Berlin 17-19 October), in order to streamline travel arrangements for participants attending both meetings. The FCPF and UN-REDD Programme will also hold a one-day planning meeting between these two governing meetings, to discuss various points related to coordinating support to countries.
As always, we welcome the opportunity to interact with country representatives as well as the diverse stakeholders, including civil society and Indigenous Peoples, who will participate in our upcoming Policy Board meeting. To those of you joining the UN-REDD Programme and FCPF in Berlin, travel safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Continuing the trend of emcees opining on one of Hip Hop's more unlikely beefs, 50 Cent spoke on the Drake and Chris Brown altercation, during which the two artists reportedly through bottles at one another in a New York club.
"I was surprised," admitted Fif in an interview with the LA Leakers. "I didn't know what happened. When you see the photos, you're like 'Oh, somebody started bumpin'.'"
When 50 found out how the fight went down, he was less than impressed, and appeared to surmise that Rihanna was the root cause. "I thought someone hit someone with a bottle. And [instead,] they're throwing it like eh [throwing motion]! That's not...that's not even...I don't know what it even stems from. Is it how you feel about the person? They have in common a connection through [Rihanna]."
"Is it disrespect [about] who you are? Or is it about the actual girl?" he continued. "For me, I've been in situations where I've seen that the two lead reasons why you get laid out is over the money, or something to do with the girl."
"It's odd. I didn't really see them being involved in that kind of [thing]," said 50, who rated, from most aggressive content to least, Meek Mill, Chris Brown, then Drake. 50 explained that he didn't know how any of the artists were as fighters, so the only basis for comparison was their music.
"When [Drake] says something that was ill...it was always about something that consisted within relationships."
"Chris finna be Rick James out this motherfucker," added 50.

NCAA Basketball Betting – Memphis/Louisville Rivalry is Back on the Air
Written by North Shore Sports, INC
A border war is set to go at Bookmaker Sportsbook on Saturday when the Memphis Tigers and Louisville Cardinals collide in NCAA basketball betting warfare on the hardwood.
NCAAB Betting Online:
The Louisville Cardinals (9-0, 4-2 ATS) will look to remain perfect in NCAA basketball betting action on Saturday, December 17, 2011 when they welcome the Memphis Tigers (5-3, 3-4 ATS) into the KFC Yum! Center for the program's first meeting in six years; tip-off on CBS is slated for 4:00 ET.
Memphis will no doubt enter this afternoon's tussle with the Cardinals in an ornery mood after the squad had its three-game win streak snapped at the hands of the Ohio Valley representative Murray State Racers its last time out. Forward Donte Poole proved to be too much for the Tigers to contend with, as he drained six of eight shots from beyond the arc to help the Racers convert 45% of their three-point tries en route to the 76-72 outright road win and cover as 10.5 point underdogs. Memphis had won and covered its previous two games against Austin Peay and Miami.
Thankfully for head coach Josh Pastner's squad heading into today's NCAA basketball betting lines showdown, the Cardinals have only shot 31.7% from downtown (#239) and have only been average offensively scoring 71.6 points per game (#117) while converting at a 45.2% clip from the field (#115). That right there gives Memphis the edge offensively considering their 81.8 point per game average ranks 16th in the country and their 48.7 shooting percentage checks in ranked 22nd; adding to the Tigers hot shooting is a 38.9% conversion rate from beyond the arc (#47). Memphis won its only true road game when it beat Miami back in early December, but lost a pair of neutral court nail biters in overtime against both Georgetown and Tennessee in Maui.
Though head coach Rick Pitino's Cardinals suffered a major blow early in the season when junior guard Mike Marra went down with a torn ACL, the 'Ville carries an unblemished record heading into what many might consider to be their toughest nonconference matchup of the season. Since toppling Vanderbilt 62-60 in overtime at the beginning of December, the Cardinals have gone on to smash both Indiana – Purdue and Fairleigh Dickinson each of the last two times they took to the hardwood. The Cardinals have only ventured away from their own court once this season, and have won each of their eight home tussles by an average of nearly 20 PPG.
Though the offense has been slightly above average at best, Louisville has flat out balled at the defensive end of the court limiting its opposition to just 52.7 points per game (#5) and a shooting clip of just 34.6% from the field (#6). On top of that, the Cardinals have also benefited from out rebounding their opposition by just over seven rebounds per game. Guards Kyle Kuric (12.9 PPG), Chris Smith (10.6 PPG) and Peyton Siva (10.3 PPG) check in as the only double-digit scorers for this offense, and big men Gorgui Dieng and Chane Behanen have cleaned the glass combining to pull down an average of 17.1 rebounds per game.
NCAA Basketball Betting Pick: The Tiger-Cardinal rivalry has been on hiatus since 2005 when both teams were still members of Conference USA. The last meeting saw Louisville squeak out a 75-74 win at the FedEx Forum. After just falling out of the Top 25, Memphis will no doubt be looking to get back in the good graces of the pollsters by handing one of its most hated rivals its first loss of the season on its own court. Grab whatever points oddsmakers are willing to give with Memphis and look for the Tigers to put forth their best effort of the young season!
So will Memphis bounce back from its embarrassing NCAA basketball betting home loss and take it to the Cardinals, or will Louisville continue to shine at home and remain undefeated?

What a Posh Party!!
On Oct. 25, the Becker Public Library, along with the Friends of the Becker Library, hosted a Fancy Nancy/Fancy Clancy party. It was a smashing success. The Becker staff and kids all dressed in their fanciest ensembles. We read Fancy Nancy by Jane O'Conner, Dandelion by Don Freeman, and some halloween poems. Crafts were made to enhance the party festivities and included fancy butterfly placemats and tissue paper flower corsages and boutineers. The Friends of the Becker Library provided the lemonade and sugar cookies. Even the sugar cookies were fancy! Each child was given a scoop of frosting and a handfull of M&M's to decorate their cookies.

As a precaution, this is a very long-winded way to talk about a 45 minute flight, as the entire story does span over 10 years. But, in my defense, it's part of my recent attempt to document, in writing and pictures, various parts of my life to eventually pass on to my son and his future family. I have relatives who I never got to know very well, and have long since lost the chance to sit with them to ask them about their lives...I hope that my family never has to feel the same regret when I'm gone. So, I present this photo tour of downtown Toronto, and Toronto City Centre Airport, along with the story of how I abandoned a dream of flying for a living after a horrible accident. Hopefully, it's not too confusing to keep track of the shifting timeline.
In October of 2005, my wife Amy and I moved from Toronto to California to settle down and have our son. Amy hails from a small Yosemite mountain town called Mariposa, CA, and we settled in the region so that she could be closer to her mother. A few months after the move, we had our son, Sage. From that point on, I worked at a small but higher-end marketing company building websites and doing graphic design. The job was a great find, considering that it was located in a small town where jobs of any prominence were scarce.
A few months into 2008, after a little more than 2 years in California, we finally admitted the fact that our lives had grown stale. I had gotten rather bored in my job and in the rural area in which we lived, having lived all of my life in large cities. There is something about living in a small town that is hard to process to for a city boy...I often found myself restless. Also, my job was starting to get to me. It had slowed down considerably with the economy what it was, and overall, my life was just boring me. It turns out Amy felt the same way.
It took some deliberation, but we finally agreed to move to Portland, Oregon. Amy was born just across the Columbia River and most of her father's family still lived there, including her brother and his family. Job prospects were better, and it would be a more open and exciting place to raise a toddler. I gave a few months notice at work and we prepared to move out of the state. I began to plan the freelance web/graphic design business that I had build in my head over the past few years.
One big bonus was that because I was leaving my job near the end of the year, we could easily make an extended trip out of our planned Christmas trip to Toronto. We booked a flight that would have us there from December 16th to January 7th (over 3 weeks), and then we would move about 4 days after returning. However, this trip report is not about that particular flight. A couple of months out from our trip, I got back in touch with an old friend of mine whom I went to flight school with back in 1998-2001. We had done our ground-school in the same class and trained with the same instructor. After we both received our licenses, we did a number of cross-country hour building flights before I stopped flying. He is now a commercial pilot who was just finishing off his instructor rating, and he offered to take us up on a flight - just like old times. I was so excited, as it started to bring back memories of my 3-year stint as a budding pilot.
I have been fascinated with aviation since I was a kid. I had originally started flight training with the goal of being a airline pilot, but I stopped in 2001 for a number of reasons. First, I couldn't really afford to continue training (I was laid off from a lucrative job), and my eyesight was getting worse to the point where within about 3 years I wouldn't have passed a Canadian commercial medical. But the final kicker was that I barely survived a crash in early 2000 and was not near as comfortable with flying an aircraft as I had been previously. The last time I flew as PIC was about a year after that crash.
Even though I had always thought that flying was my ideal profession, I gave up on the dream and took up another focus in life. I lived in England for a year and I met my future wife, we settled in Toronto where we got married and she finished her BA, and the rest of the story is as I mentioned above.
It was kind of funny that the prospect of a short flight with my old flying friend was the part of the trip that I was looking forward to most. At this turning point in my life, it was somehow comforting to focus on a part of my past that I never got the chance to fully embrace the way I had always hoped. It made me wonder how different my life would have been had I been able to continue. Where would I be today?
We arrived safely in Toronto, and enjoyed the first week. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the first booked flight due to weather that weekend, but we rescheduled for the following weekend. My father offered to watch Sage for a few hours that day to allow Amy and I to go by ourselves.
We picked up Zia on the way down to Toronto City Centre Airport (CYTZ) and boarded the ferry to the airport. Everything at that airport had changed since our old flight school had gone out of business, and Porter Airlines had moved in in its place. There were now ferry boarding terminals where before I remembered shivering in small, slightly heated shelters waiting for the ferry in the cold winter.
Once over there, we walked over to the flight school where Zia was finishing off his training. I realized that this school had absorbed much of our old flight school's property, from training props to posters, and even a handful of Cessna 172Rs that had been bought brand new in 2000. In fact, I believe I even logged a couple of PIC hours in the plane we were scheduled to fly in.
The aircraft came back from its previous renter, and since it still had enough fuel for our flight, we headed right out to the tarmac. I had my camera ready and I caught as much as I could, driven by both nostalgia and aviation fascination. Back when I was flying, I was too focused on flying and took very few photos of aircraft, the airport and my flights. But, now that I had a digital SLR, I wasn't going to waste a single cool shot. Here's my first volley of photos – each one can be clicked on for a larger image hosted on my website:

The Pilatus PC-12 departing for the active runway
Zia doing the walkaround
Zia did the walkaround and we eventually packed into the small Cessna and started the engine. Since Zia was now proficient in the right seat, I got to take the left seat. He asked if I wanted to take the controls and get us to the runway, and I gladly obliged. The rudder was much stiffer than I remembered it.
The run-up was quick and we were soon taxiing into position on Runway 26. At this point, as always, I was hit with a memory that I will never be able to shake. I was taking off from this runway after a touch-and-go when I was involved in my crash. My engine failed about 100 feet off the ground and I was forced to ditch in the lake beyond. Zia asked if I wanted to do the take-off, but I declined.
In my mind, I remember that night like it was yesterday, as I have gone over it so many times in my head for the past 9 years. It was April 15th, 2000, and I had been a licensed private pilot for about 6 months. I had aced my flight test and received my school's highest mark of the year. I immediately went on to train for my night rating, and flew through it pretty quickly. It wasn't long before I was doing my last 2 experience flights before getting rated – about 2 hours of under-the-hood instrument training, and another hour and a half of solo flying time. I was booked in C-GNLU, a Cessna 172N that was a popular aircraft with the school. In fact, a few days before the flight, this aircraft was snapped by one of our flight instructors. The caption provides a hint of the events to come in just 2 days.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
Finding the CrossPlexMeet ScheduleMeet Entries
The University of Alabama track and field team aims to begin its first year under head coach Dan Waters on a positive note when it opens the 2012 indoor track and field season by hosting the Crimson Tide Indoor Opener on Saturday in Birmingham Ala.
The meet will be held at the Birmingham CrossPlex, a state-of-the-art indoor track stadium that holds seating for 4,000 fans, a 200-meter hydraulically banked Mondo Super X track, eight-lane sprint track and double runways and rings for all field events.
"It's an exciting time for Alabama track and field to host the indoor season opener at a facility that's second-to-none," Waters said. "This is a starting point for our program, but it's a big one. The things we're going to look for are who is going to rise to the occasion, really compete and challenge themselves. We're also going to look at what we can do technically to make our team better."
The Crimson Tide will contend against a field that features some of the top programs in the nation including the defending two-time NCAA men's indoor champions and preseason No. 1, Florida. Other top 10 teams include LSU's men (No. 3) and women (No. 2), and Florida State whose men's team is ranked sixth and women's team is ninth. Auburn, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Samford, Southern Mississippi and Tulane will also take to the track.
"We have a good amount of SEC schools coming into the building, which is very significant and good competition" Waters said. "This is the kind of meet we want to host at Alabama where everyone is challenged and we have the opportunity to host a first-rate event that generates excitement around track and field. I think everyone will be very pleased with the size of the meet and the competition level."
The first field event begins at 9:30 a.m. CST with the men's high jump followed by the women's weight throw at 10 a.m. Action on the track begins at noon with the 60-meter prelims. Events are scheduled to run until 5:45 p.m.
Entering 2012, Alabama's women return five student-athletes that had top-50 performances nationally during the 2011 season including Kaylon Eppinger in both the 60-meter hurdles and pentathlon, Krystle Schade in the high jump, Chloe Hetherton in the triple jump, Wilamena Hopkins in the shot put and Amethyst Holmes in the weight throw.
Waters' men's team returns four student-athletes that posted top-50 performances nationally last season. Those performances came from Carison Kemei in the 5,000 meters, Tyler Campbell and Jonathan Reid in the high jump, and Kamal Fuller in the long jump.
After this weekend's meet, both squads will have a week of training before returning to Birmingham, Ala. to participate in the Auburn Invitational on Jan. 21.

Anonymous review via Feefo | Purchase date: 15 November 2013
Amazing gadget and with traktor pro 2 for free.
Branislav | Purchase date: 27 November 2012
Traktor Kontrol S2 is the best controller you can get for this price. It's solid, sound is awesome.
I've paired it with Audio interface Traktor 10 and don't need anything else.
So again... brilliant controller for brilliant price.
I do highly recommend it.
Raf | Purchase date: 16 March 2012
Haven't tried different DJ controllers but read a lot of reviews, no surprise there, this controller is very well built and tightly integrated with Traktor software (obviously both are made by the same company). Can't go wrong and probably can't get any better for the money.

Not on View
Object 22 of 24
Gerard Lee Bevan, England; (his sale, Puttick & Simpson, London, 26 May 1922, no. 61); (Duveen Brothers, Inc., London and New York); sold 1922 to Joseph E. Widener, Lynnewood Hall, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania;[1] inheritance from the Estate of Peter A.B. Widener by gift through power of appointment of Joseph E. Widener, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, after purchase by funds of the Estate; gift 1942 to NGA.
[1] The early provenance cited here is an update to the provenance published in the NGA systematic catalogue entry (Little et al. 1998, 237-238). The published provenance, indicating a purchase by Widener from Duveen in 1915 or 1922 was based on confusion resulting from the Lynnewood Hall inventory sheet for 1942.9.638 and 1942.9.639, annotated with notes by Widener curator Edith Standen, having originally been cut in half and each half filed separately in its object folder. Miss Standen's notes on the full sheet do clarify that the two vases were bought separately, as indicated in this revised provenance. The Bevan sale is also noted on the Widener Collection card for this vase. P.A.B. Widener died in 1915, so this purchase in 1922 would have been made by Joseph E. Widener.

Concert Review: The Rebels Quartet (Smyrna, GA)
Since I am a relatively new fan of Southern Gospel music, I didn't get to hear the original Rebels Quartet. But I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to see the new, revived version!! A year ago, Rick Fair, who sang with the Rebels in 1972 until the group retired, got the blessing of several of the members to bring back the name and the music. Joining Rick on the vocals are his son David, Mike Young, and Alan Kendall. Pianist Barry Jennings rounds out the group. They bring back the sound and the style of their predecessors, and they honor them not only with their music but on the archives section of their website as well.
I saw the Rebels recently at the annual homecoming service of the Sharon Baptist Church in Smyrna. They had a wonderful preacher that day as well, so this wasn't a full program. Everything they sang was with piano accompaniment – and no tracks! There were several members of the Fair family at the service, and Mike's mom and dad even performed a song for us near the end of the service.
- Lily of the Valley – This is what some consider the signature song of the old Rebels quartet! Here's a video from a previous concert.
- He'll Understand and Say Well Done – It's obvious that Alan really loves this music!! He did a great job on the lead on this old song!
- I'm Going Back – This was a nice change of pace and featured David.
- Hide Thou Me – Of course, this was a tenor feature! Great job by Mike Young!
- Lost, Searching, Found – This has been voted on the Rebels' web site as the #1 favorite song from their "Revived" CD, and David really does a great job on it in person, too! Here's a video from a previous concert.
- It Is No Secret – I remember this song from my childhood but I don't remember if it was the Rebels that I heard. By the way, Rick has a new solo CD that you will really enjoy if you are like me and love rich, smooth bass singing!
- The Robe of Calvary – This was a song that Alan had sung while he was with the Melody Boys Quartet, and it was just beautiful! It's also on Alan's solo album that you can get from the Rebels' website.
- I Am the Man – I had noticed a man carrying a tambourine with him as he had arrived at the service. Apparently he decided that this was just the song to use it on! You can hear him starting about 30 seconds into the video.
- I'm Gonna Fly – This was a VERY fast, very short song!
- When I Stand With God – Alan was featured on this one that starts off slow and then picks up a little steam later on. They did a reprise on it and the whole congregation was clapping along!
- Goodbye World Goodbye – They finally turned Barry loose on a solo! Here's a video from a previous concert.
- Without Him – This was a request from a congregation member. After the first time through, the congregation was invited to sing along. It was a great way to end the service!
In the next few months, these men will be singing in Florida, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana. Go see them if you get a chance! They will also be a part of the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion in Greenville, SC from Aug. 8-10th, 2013.

Big House Brawl
this wiki
50! Eat that you incarcerating suckas!
"Big House Brawl" is a job for Sly Cooper and Murray in the Jailbreak episode of Sly 2: Band of Thieves.
Murray must take out 50 inmates in order to get thrown into solitary confinement.
Bentley has found a weakness in the solitary confinement cell. Murray needs to cause enough trouble with the other prisoners in order for the guards to put him into solitary confinement.
- Find pipe into Murray's cell
- Get into solitary confinement
Part 1 (Sly)
Bentley will tell Sly that the pipe nearby will lead right to Murray's cell block, and once inside, he should tell Murray about the plan. Crawl through the pipe into Murray's cell block. Upon reaching where his cell is, Sly will get Murray's attention and relate the plan to him. Murray has no problem carrying out this request. Murray will also tell Sly that the guards keep feeding him food covered in spice and he is feeling really strange.
Part 2 (Murray)
Murray needs to defeat 50 inmates. There are several ways to do so.
- Murray can simply punch them with his fists.
- Murray can knock or throw them into the floor or wall parts that have spikes.
- Murray can knock or throw them into the spotlights which will fire missiles if anything steps into the light.
- Murray can also Thunder Flop a red buttton on the ground which will shoot lasers around the area and take out the guards. If you use it, you will have to wait for it to recharge.
After fifty inmates have been beaten, the prison guards will throw Murray into solitary confinement, but Murray defiantly tells them to bring it on.

Debra Paget
Birth Name: Debra Paget
Born: 08/19/1933
Birth Place: Denver, Colorado, USA
Paget acquired brief acting experience on the stage while still in her early teens before being signed by 20th Century-Fox. She made a creditable film debut in director Robert Siodmak's stunning film noir "Cry of the City" (1948) and Fox began building her up. "Broken Arrow" (1950) proved a big popular success: it made Jeff Chandler a star, moved Jimmy Stewart successfully into Westerns, and gave Paget her first prominent and typical role as Sonseeahray, all shot in the Technicolor which became standard for her. "Anne of the Indies" (1951), unfortunately, gave her another typical role: Louis Jourdan's helpless wife, almost sold into slavery by lusty pirate Jean Peters. Paget did, however, do...

After six months of hibernating constructing new songs for their upcoming album due late in the year via Metal Blade Records, San Diego extreme metallers CATTLE DECAPITATION will schedule a week's worth of dates to debut the new material in front of a live audience. These new songs will feature the most recent addition, drummer David McGraw, to the songwriting process.Vocalist Travis Ryan comments on the new material: "The guys have been writing like crazy, we're already four songs in! I've got lyrics to a couple and we'll be playing 'em at the upcoming shows! All I can say is this new stuff is completely insane. We have reached a new level of intensity that in my opinion completely annihilates anything we've ever done. That goes for the first two CATTLE records as well! Just too damn intense for words... you gotta come check it out for yourself!" The dates are listed below. June 18 - The Jensen Mainstage - Santa Barbara, CA
June 19 - The Castle - Soledad, CA
June 20 - Annie's Social Club - San Francisco, CA
June 21 - The Boardwalk - Orangevale, CA
June 22 - The Kung Fu Corner - Westlake Village, CA
June 23 - The Knitting Factory - Hollywood, CA
June 24 - [to be announced]
June 25 - Club Karma - Victorville, CA CATTLE DECAPITATION's latest album, "Karma.Bloody.Karma", was released in July 2006 via Metal Blade Records. The CD was produced by Billy Anderson (SWANS, MR. BUNGLE, SLEEP) and features guest appearances by Joey Karam (THE LOCUST) and John Wiese (SUNN0)))), BASTARD NOISE). Woozyfly.com conducted an interview with CATTLE DECAPITATION when the band was in New York City playing at the Blender Theare on the Death By Decibels tour. Watch the chat below.

The most common way sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are transmitted is through vaginal, anal or oral sex without a condom. Some STIs like genital warts can be transmitted via close skin contact usually during unprotected sex. Others like chlamydia don't always show symptoms. Some can even lie dormant for years and, if left unchecked, can lead to infertility or other ongoing health problems.
If you think you may have an STI, then we recommend you get an STI check, and also find out more about them, how different infections are transmitted, their symptoms and treatment options.
The best way to protect yourself from an STI (and an unplanned pregnancy) is to always use a condom. If you have ever had unprotected sex, even just once, you're at risk. A simple sexual health check is all you need to ensure you are in the clear. So even if you don't have any obvious signs, never assume you're off the hook. On the other hand, just because you've got an itch it doesn't necessarily mean you have an STI.
Visiting An STI Clinic
To make sure your sexual health gets the stamp of approval, it's worth getting an STI check at either a Dr Marie Clinic near you, a local family planning clinic or by visiting your doctor, as symptoms may vary from person to person.
If you have an STI it's important that you and your current partner(s) receive the same treatment at the same time; otherwise you may continue to pass the infection back and forth between you. All of your previous sexual partners whom you feel may be at risk should also be checked and treated.
We can perform a variety of STI screening checks at the various STI clinics we operate around Australia. These clinics are listed above and to the right on this page. You can also contact us to make an appointment or for more information.

Greensboro, NC -- Every bride has hopes and dreams for the big day. Meleshia Daye is no different.
She has stage 4 breast cancer, but this 24-year-old is determined to live and to walk down the aisle. Battling breast cancer has taken most of her time and money. But Daye isn't going to let that stop her.
Daye applied for her dream wedding with the Wish Upon A Wedding organization. She was told it was take weeks for the application to be processed. But WFMY News2 talked to Wish Upon A Wedding, and on Friday, they surprised her with her wedding wish!
You can watch it all! We told Meleshia were were there to interview her, but then, we let the Wish Upon A Wedding Prize patrol in.
The organization grants wedding wishes and takes care of everything from the wedding planner to the cake to the hair and make-up and much more.
Daye had no family history of breast cancer and no other symptoms, but she had lumps.
"Last year in June, I found a lump in my left breast. The lump was probably about the size of a grape," she said.
Daye went to the doctor with her mother. They went back a few months later and even again shortly after that. Each time, they were assured it was only a cyst, which would go away. It didn't. Instead it spread. You can read more about Meleshia Daye's battle.

Can lightning strike twice for "Twilight" creator Stephenie Meyer? Already behind of the of the biggest franchises in recent memory, she's now bringing "The Host" to theaters, with "Gattaca" helmer Andrew Niccol directing. It's another triangular tale with a young girl in the middle of two non-descript dudes, and these three clips give a taste of what's in store.
Basically, the movie follows a young woman who has to keep the alien presence in the brain from revealing to the bad guys where the leaders of the resistance are in Future Earth or something. Humans that aren't pod people are scarce, so that explains the first scene, an awkward meet-cute. And in the next two we both love and action take center stage. We're sure there's an audience for this, but it's probably not us.
So is it more millions for Meyer or do her fans only care about vampires? Watch below -- "The Host" opens on March 29th. [Yahoo/SheKnows]

I testified this morning before the Joint Economic Committee about policies to increase economic growth and employment in 2010 and 2011. This hearing was originally scheduled for several weeks ago but then canceled because of the snow. My prepared remarks today were essentially the same as those released a few weeks ago and were based on CBOs January report on this topic and a follow-up letter to Senator Casey.
My comments emphasized three points:
First, although the economy is starting to recover from the most severe recession since the 1930s, CBO and most private forecasters expect a slow rebound in output and employment. In particular, CBO projects that the unemployment rate will average slightly above 10 percent in the first half of this year, fall below 8 percent only in 2012, and return to near its long-run sustainable level of 5 percent only in 2014. As a result, more of the pain of unemployment from this downturn lies ahead of us than behind us.
Second, fiscal policy actions, if properly designed, would promote economic growth and increase employment in 2010 and 2011. However, despite the potential economic benefits in the short run, such actions would add to the already large projected budget deficits. Unless offsetting actions were taken to reverse the accumulation of additional government debt, future incomes would tend to be lower than they otherwise would have been.
Third, different policies that have received public attention would have quite different effects on output and employment per dollar of lost tax revenue or additional government spending. To be sure, significant uncertainty attends any quantitative estimates of the effects of particular policies, and CBO has emphasized that uncertainty by reporting ranges of estimates that we believe encompass most economists views about the effects of each type of policy. Still, we think there would be significant differences in the cost-effectiveness of different policies (as measured in our analysis by years of full-time-equivalent employment per million dollars of total budgetary cost).
Policies that would have the largest effects on output and employment in 2010 and 2011 per dollar of budgetary cost would be those that could be implemented relatively quickly or targeted toward people whose consumption tends to be restricted by their income---for example, reducing payroll taxes for firms that increase payroll or boosting aid to the unemployed. The following figure summarizes the estimated effects of various policies on employment in 2010 and 2011.

I have read the question Windows8 metro: HeaderMenu and a comment reminding that the tags metro-ui and silverlight are excluding them. What the poster means - I think - are the design principals behind metro and not a metro-ui implementation. Maybe there should be a metro-style for the design idea (which doesn't necessarily need to be used on Windows 8 only)?
Edit: Maybe metro-style-app should be renamed to metro-style or instead we may use metro-design

This is what I did to find the Galois group for $x^8+2$:
Splitting field: $$K = \Bbb{Q}(\zeta_8, \zeta_{16}2^{1/8})$$
Since $Gal(\Bbb{Q}(\zeta_8)/\Bbb{Q}) \cong Aut( \langle\zeta_8\rangle) \cong \mathbb Z^{\times}_8 = \{1, 3, 5, 7\}$, we know that we have four subgroups in $Gal(Q(\zeta_8)/\Bbb{Q})$ (Let $\zeta_8 = \zeta$):
$$\sigma_1(\zeta) = \zeta$$
$$\sigma_3(\zeta) = \zeta^3$$
$$\sigma_5(\zeta) = \zeta^5$$
$$\sigma_7(\zeta) = \zeta^7$$
The polynomial of $\zeta_{16}2^{1/8}$ is $X^4 = \zeta^2_8 2^{1/2} = \sqrt{2}i$. So we have $X^4 - \sqrt{2}i = X^4 - \zeta^2_8(\zeta^a + \zeta^{-a})$
We know that for $\sigma \in Gal(K/\Bbb{Q})$, we have
$\sigma(\zeta_8) = \zeta^a_8$ for $a \in Z^{\times}_8$ and $\sigma(\zeta_{16}2^{1/8}) = \zeta_{16}\zeta^b_82^{1/8}$ for $a \in \mathbb Z^{\times}_8$ and $b \in \mathbb Z_8$.
We know that we have:
$(\zeta_{16}\zeta^b_82^{1/8})^4 = \sqrt{2}\zeta^4_{16}\zeta^{4b}_8 = \zeta^2_8(\zeta^a_8 + \zeta^{-a}_8)$.
But $\sqrt{2}\zeta^4_{16}\zeta^{4b}_8 = \zeta^2_8(\zeta^a_8 + \zeta^{-a}_8) \implies \sqrt{2}\zeta^{4b}_8 = \zeta^a_8 + \zeta^{-a}_8$, right? So this seems similar to my previous question.
I'm a bit surprised, because I thought they would be different, so I'm wondering if there is something that I'm missing but unaware of…

Sleeping Beauty Review
"Sleeping Beauty's Frank Subject Matter And Stark Portrayal Of A Sexually Blase College Student Is Certainly Interesting, But Not Nearly As Much As Expected."
December 1st, 2011
Julia Leigh's directorial debut, Sleeping Beauty, caused quite a stir when it debuted earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival. Its frank subject matter and stark portrayal of a sexually blase college student is certainly interesting, but not nearly as much as expected after the festival hype. Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) stars as Lucy, an emotionally distant college student who struggles financially with menial jobs. Whiling away as a copy girl and waitress, she spends her nights having random sexual encounters. Her nymphet allure drawing in both men and women.
Lucy answers an ad that leads her to Clara (Rachel Blake), a madam that caters to an ultra-secret world of the wealthy and their sexual fetishes. She graduates Lucy to a level of female companionship that is quite lucrative, but bizzare and dangerous. She drinks a tea that renders her completely unconscious for a night. During that night, whoever buys her service can do anything to her, except sexually penetrate her or mark her body in any way. Clara's initial remark is that "your vagina is a temple". Where Lucy casually responds, "believe me, my vagina is not a temple".
Lucy's sleeping John's are not the virile studs looking to ravish a girl. When you watch the film, there is both fascination and disgust at these scenes. Money can lead any fetishist to their satisfaction with Clara, so Lucy gains her admirers. But the toll of these lost nights seep into her days, tainting her few real relationships. It is therefore inevitable for Lucy to want to discover what happens while she sleeps.
Leigh's character study of Lucy is soulless and hollow. That much is obvious as she embarks on her wreckless sexual escapades. She's absolutely droll in every regard, except her physical beauty. I wanted to actually discover something more about this girl. Why? Is it only for money? If so, aren't their less dangerous situations where you can be an escort, have intercourse - which she has no problems with - and get paid. These questions are never answered. I find this to be very disappointing, especially when the primary character and her sexuality is the entire crux of the film.
Another trick that Julia Leigh uses to hammer in the starkness of the story is the lack of a soundtrack. It's a gimmick here. If you watch the Coen Brother's masterpiece, No Country for Old Men, you see how this is used in a more subtle and interesting way. In Sleeping Beauty, it is a trick used to make the audience focus more intently on the visual. This fades quickly if what you're seeing begins to get disjointed and uninteresting. I found myself bored for long stretches of the film. Emily Browning's Lucy is nubile and attractive. Seeing her in all manner of undress is not unappealing. We understand her fiscal issues, we understand why men - and women - want her. What we don't understand is anything about her or her motivations after watching Sleeping Beauty.
I give Julia Leigh and Emily Browning marks for effort here. This premise is good. It just had to have more exposition and writing to be better than a mediocre film. Leigh's just getting started, so maybe this is a diving board to better work. Only time will tell. Emily Browning puts her body into Sleeping Beauty. The script did not ask much of her speaking or emotional talents. So we will see how she fares in future projects to judge her acting skill. In summary, Sleeping Beauty is a different film to see, but not extraordinary at all.

For a couple of years I have been thinking about a Cyclocross bike

How long was I in the army? Five foot seven.
Spike Milligan
I rode a bit of cyclocross during my racing career. It taught me a few things, like how to do a running jump onto a bike saddle without mashing the crown jewels, how to dismount on a descent (I still have the brake levers set up "moto" (Italian) style (left lever operates rear brake) as a result), and - most important - that if you're 6'1" and 175 pounds, you are too heavy for cyclo-cross. CX favors really light, thin guys, like climbers or runners. Especially if you're riding over bark mulch or similar soft surfaces. And carrying your bike up a hill looks nice, but just try it the third or fourth time and you'll end up pushing it up and running alongside.
It's a very O2 demanding sport. You need to be an acrobat with a very high VO2 max to do well at all. Fair warning!
stapfam, I can't believe that you aren't out every weekend sloshing through the mud and snow, hoisting your bike on your shoulder and running up the hills, and bounding over the obstacles with ease.
For those with a Netflix account, watch "The 9 Ball Diaries" (streaming is available for this one) to see what cyclocross is like. Its a documentary of Tim Johnson's 2008 season narrated by him.
Personally I enjoy going to CX races and encouraging on the riders. Makes me feel young. Not sure why I'm the only "older" cyclist at the races. I'm even older than the officials.

CX looks like great fun, but at 63 there is no way. I'be end up being one of the obstacles. Besides, it's yet to really catch on in So Fla, so there are few races to even go to. I guess I'll just have to stick to videos and movies.

"Oh, to be 60 again!"
I just finished up my 3rd season of cyclo cross racing. I did 10 cross races beginning the last weekend of August. It's so much fun that my last race was about 14 hours after I got off of a plane from a week's stay in Cancun fortifying my wife's reasoning that I'm nuts. I am not suited to excel in cross since I'm 6' and 188lbs and more of a crit/sprinter racer. The atmosphere at cross races is relaxed and inviting for new racers. Even in the upper categories racers who are usually distant to each other will let their guards down a bit. Since the races are on a 1.5 -2 mile closed course the races are very spectator friendly. Beer is also a staple at most races and in some races lapped riders are even offered "beer handups".
I don't find the racing dangerous since the courses are mostly on grass, dirt and paved pathways. My average speed for a 45 minute race is around 11 - 13 mph and seldom exceeds 20 mph. I do fall and crash with the best of them. I have raced in the cold, muddy, snowy conditions and survived to race another day. The hardest part about racing on those days is after the warmup . A good warmup is vital in racing since the races start out as a sprint then evolves into a TT for the rider. To get the good warmup and preview the course means riding and getting wet and muddy prior to the start. As soon as the warmup is done I have to clean mud, leaves and other debris out of the chain, derailers and brakes. If I were a pro there would be a crew taking care of my bike and I would be in a warm trailer putting on a dry kit. Yes, that would be nice.
Here are a couple images from this past season. The first was in Cinncy and I am about to T-bone a guy when blasting through the sand pit. The second image is early in the race on one of those wet days.
