Alabama took a 2-0 lead, however Princeton would even the match at 2-2 and would challenge in the remaining match before the Tide closed it out.
"We knew this was going to be a battle," said Alabama head coach Jenny Mainz. "Princeton is a good team. They are a tenacious group, and we knew we'd have our hands full. We've had a lot of matches like this throughout the season and came in prepared for this."
Alabama played another dominant doubles point with wins on courts one and two. The Tide's fourth-ranked duo of Maya Jansen and Erin Routliffe cruised to an 8-1 victory over Princeton's 67th-ranked team of Lindsay Graff and Alana Wolff shortly before Mary Anne Daines and Danielle Spielmann clinched the first point of the afternoon with an 8-2 win against the Tigers' Amanda Muliawan and Emily Hahn.
Luicelena Perez picked up the first win in singles, extending her streak to 13-straight victories, with a 6-3, 6-2 decision on court six. From there, Princeton then tied the match at 2-2, claiming wins on courts one and two. Jansen's 6-3, 6-4 victory on court four over Sivan Krems put Alabama back in front, moving the focus to the far end of the courts where Emily Zabor and Routliffe were both heading into third sets.
In the end, it would be Zabor again, who picked up a pivotal break to get the match back on serve at 4-4 and went on to take the last two games to win 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 on court five over Dorothy Tang.
"This is why I play college tennis," said Zabor. "We deal really well with pressure. I felt really confident in the first set, but she (Dorothy Tang) played really well and stepped it up. She made me win the match."
Alabama will now face Notre Dame (17-9) on Thursday, May 15, at 8 a.m. CT at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex on the University of Georgia campus.

PAMPA - For the record, Pampa High School the University Interscholastic League saw no problem with the use of a phonograph by Pampa High Schools theater program in a play headed for state finals in Austin, according to an April 30, 1936, Amarillo Daily News story.
According to the story, UIL director Roy Bedichek wired Pampa High School to state: "Our opinion is that the use of a phonograph record is not a violation of the rules."
The brouhaha started when use of the phonograph record to reproduce sounds of cattle in the play "Dust" was protested by Mrs. I.T. Graves, Crowells play entry director, the story said.
"Dust" won in the finals with four out of five first places, the story said. Dickie Kennedy and Mary Adams of Pampa were selected as best boy and girl actors in the region.
Director Ben Quill and his cast of six, including backstage managers Rex Rose, D.C. Turner and Melvin Qualls, were to leave the next day for Austin, according to the story.
It would be the second time a play directed by Quill had reached the finals in Austin. "Smokescreen," presented by Pampa High School, won the state championship in 1934, the story said.

When her job hunt faltered and money for cheap motels ran dry, Velma Chaney found herself homeless for the second time in her adult life — and wound up living in Nickelsville for a handful of days last spring, sharing a tent with her fiancé, sister, infant nephew and three young children.
To shield her kids from the direness of their situation, Chaney made a game of it: "I told them we were camping."
After a few months in a temporary apartment provided by the YWCA, Chaney and her family recently moved into transitional housing, a four-bedroom duplex in Seattle's Central District that's a 15-minute walk to Wellspring Family Services on Rainier Avenue South.
Chaney was introduced to the agency, one of 12 that benefit from The Seattle Times' Fund for the Needy, when her caseworker got her preschool-aged sons enrolled in Wellspring's Early Learning Center. A bus came by the YWCA shelter each morning to pick them up.

Chaney, 27, then landed a three-month internship in Wellspring's Baby Boutique, where homeless parents can "shop" up to five times a year for seasonally appropriate clothing for infants to teens, and pick out pricey items like strollers and car seats — all for free.
Chaney, who is to start classes at Seattle Central Community College next month, has stayed on as a volunteer in the Baby Boutique, keeping the database updated and offering other parents the same kind of warmth and support she's found there.
On a recent Friday, Chaney uncharacteristically broke down, but her tears were happy ones: That morning, someone had slipped a Christmas card addressed to Chaney through the Baby Boutique's mail slot. Inside was $100.
"Right now, we're sleeping on air mattresses," so the money will go toward furniture, Chaney said. "The card just said 'Secret Santa' on it … Tell whoever did it, 'Thank you.' "
Ruthann Howell, Wellspring's president and CEO, has witnessed countless examples of what she calls "the general goodness of people" during her 23 years leading the organization that has been helping individuals and families in crisis since 1892.
"I think there's a human instinct to give back, to do something to help others, regardless of your circumstances," Howell said, which is why she thinks so many of Wellspring's clients end up volunteering or giving financial donations to the agency. "We have seen so many people giving something back when they've experienced being supported."
She said Wellspring has been part of the "family of agencies" supported by The Times' Fund for the Needy since the mid-1990s. Now in its 35th year, the Fund has raised more than $16.5 million for agencies that help children, families and senior citizens.
Howell and her staff of therapists, teachers and housing specialists share a philosophy that the best way to help homeless children work through trauma is to stabilize the adults in their lives.
From there, they work with parents and caregivers to address old wounds inflicted during their own childhoods through domestic violence, neglect, substance abuse or mental-health issues that often have a generational impact. Wellspring also offers therapeutic programs aimed at nurturing the parent-child bond.
Neuroscience is finally proving what staff at Wellspring have long known: Toxic stress — from witnessing domestic violence, or living with the constant uncertainty of where you're going to sleep on any given night — fundamentally alters brain development, especially from birth to age 5.
Adverse childhood experiences have been shown to have a lifelong impact, which is why Wellspring focuses on interrupting that cycle through prevention and intervention.
As one of Seattle's oldest, continuously running social-service agencies, Wellspring — which has had a number of different names in its 121-year history — has stayed in business not just by adapting to the community's changing needs, but by anticipating them.
More than 5,000 people received services through Wellspring last year. Over $800,000 in donated merchandise was distributed to more than 1,000 families through the Baby Boutique, and 83 homeless children were enrolled in the Early Learning Center, the majority of them children of color living with single moms.
"We're giving them hope, giving them tangible tools. We don't have a lot of deal breakers," Howell said. "You can make different choices and have a different path for your life and your kids. And we're not going to give up on you."
Adelita Guerrero-Ortiz
was living on Beacon Hill with her mom, her boyfriend, their son and other family members when they were evicted around Christmas 2011. Her mom, plagued by health problems, died in January 2012. Family members split up, bouncing between other relatives and cheap motels.
"I'm taking care of my 16-year-old brother now," said Guerrero-Ortiz, 27, who with her boyfriend and 8-year-old son is also caring for her boyfriend's elderly father in his home in the Rainier Valley.
She, too, landed an internship at Wellspring's Baby Boutique and continues to volunteer there. When she started, "I was very shy, very quiet. I really didn't speak too much."
But the other women at Wellspring helped her "open myself up" and by learning new skills — like how to use a computer — Guerrero-Ortiz said she now has self-confidence she's never experienced before. She just earned her GED and plans to train as a respiratory therapist.
"I love it here. It's just when I come in here, all the stress and everything I feel in life is just gone."

It's boring to say that Willy Mason sounds older than his years, so let's get it out of the way early. Still under 30, he has the voice and the temperament, maybe even the dress sense, of a 50-something year old Johnny Cash. His gravely tones are the antithesis of his fresh face, but they make for some beautifully soothing songs with his intimate and bluesy melodies.
It's pretty clear that Willy is a bit bored of his old stuff. After all, he was barely out of his teens when he penned his first EP and his most well known know record was released five years ago. His new album is excellent, but as its release was the day before this gig, it may be a little too new for some people tonight.
With that in mind, Willy made sure there was plenty of good old times throughout, saving some of the best bits for the audience to sing solo or a rearrangement. But the real gem of tonight is that, despite selling out the venue and despite Willy having a huge following, he scales back his band to just guitar, clarinet and the odd bit of percussion, bass, keys or trumpet played by a multi-instrumentalist in the corner. It's so understated, leaving space for his songs to fill the room. The clarinet especially is gorgeous and lifts every song it accompanies, like in a Low Anthem or James Yorkston gig.
Despite this following, his new tracks go down a treat. There's the beautiful 'Talk Me Down', more reminiscent of his older stuff in melody, and the heart-breaking 'Show Me the Way to Go Home', like a stripped down folk tune, a little like 'The Pines', that's made its way through decades of the same family. 'Carry On' is another beauty, like the most aching of break up songs (although it's about a moth) and, give it a month or so and 'I Got Gold' will be a massive singalong.
But the biggest appreciation of the night goes to the oldies. 'Save Myself' sees the audience take half the singing, but the addition of some sly trumpet can still be heard. The room accompanies Willy and his guitar for the chorus of the brilliant 'We Can Be Strong' - his guitar is the newest addition on stage tonight after his old one was stolen from a van in Swindon – and 'Riptide' is bare, pretty much just vocals for most of it, and amazing.
'Oxygen', one of his oldest, gets the biggest applause of the night. The single, like a hybrid of protest folk and a '60s pop record, was released in 2005 but tonight it's as if it's played on the radio every day. In a weird way, it's as if this crowd has grown up with Willy Mason… so thank God there's plenty of time to grow old with him too.

Though the basic information is fascinating, its protracted and methodical presentation is less so, in "Without My Daughter," a docu chronicling the husband's side of the claimed spousal-abuse story made famous by Betty Mahmoody's bestseller, "Not Without My Daughter," and the 1991 Sally Field-Alfred Molina starrer of the same name. A must for media studies programs, film raises pertinent cross-cultural issues and will be a dynamite conversation-starter wherever it's shown, preferably in tandem with the Brian Gilbert-helmed movie.
Though the basic information is fascinating, its protracted and methodical presentation is less so, in "Without My Daughter," a docu chronicling the husband's side of the claimed spousal-abuse story made famous by Betty Mahmoody's bestseller, "Not Without My Daughter," and the 1991 Sally Field-Alfred Molina starrer of the same name. A must for media studies programs, film raises pertinent cross-cultural issues and will be a dynamite conversation-starter wherever it's shown, preferably in tandem with the Brian Gilbert-helmed movie.In her book, American Betty claimed to have been held in Iran for 18 months against her will by her abusive, fundamentalist spouse, Iranian-born, U.S.-educated anesthesiologist Sayed Bozorg Mahmoody ("Moody"). She escaped Moody's alleged clutches by crossing the mountains into Turkey and returning to the U.S. with their child, Mahtob, then aged six. Moody has not seen or heard from Mahtob in the 16 years since. Both Moody and eyewitnesses who knew the family well in Tehran contend that Betty's book – written with "Midnight Express" as-told-to scribe William Hoffer – is full of lies and "treasons," and even float the idea that Betty embellished and slanted her account with the express purpose of getting rich. Docu crew follows Moody in Tehran, taping his recollections of the day he came home to find his wife had "kidnapped" his daughter, and the painful aftermath of Betty's actions. Filmers later ask one of Mahtob's classmates at Michigan State U, where she's a senior, to get her dad's version to her. There's no way of knowing whether Betty and Moody's marriage was sweet or sour before they arrived in Tehran in August 1984. However, Moody claims Betty proposed to him, converted to Islam and took a lively interest in Persian culture. He was nearly 40 when they wed in Houston in 1977. Thrilled at his daughter's birth in 1979, he looked at the full moon and named her Mahtob ("moonlight"). Several striking bits of evidence challenge the portrait of both Iran and Moody in Betty's book. Her story is based on the assertion that the family went on a two-week visit to Iran, only to be sequestered and stripped of her rights, with no hope except a daring escape. However, Moody shows that Betty had bought a size-12 dress for Mahtob – ridiculously large for a four-year-old – before they left for Iran, suggesting they would be there long enough for Mahtob to grow into it. Moody also says Betty knew full well they were moving to Iran for a while, so he could use his medical skills to help fellow countrymen injured in the war with Iraq. Alice Sharif, an American in Tehran who's married to an Iranian, and whose daughter Samira played with Mahtob, says the American women in her circle were outraged by the flagrant lies in Betty's book – such as the alleged Iranian habit of bathing only once a year. Sharif & Co. contend such fabrications were tailored to feed anti-Iranian sentiment in the U.S. She adds there was never a hint of Betty being beaten (as she claimed in her book), and she seriously doubts whether Betty and Mahtob could have crossed the mountains in winter without special gear. Sharif's husband says they could have left the country "the normal way." Moody lost all his property in the U.S., where he'd lived for nearly 20 years, and didn't learn he was divorced and forbidden to contact his daughter until it was a legal fait accompli. Here, too, his evidence seems damning: court papers list Moody as "address unknown," yet the divorce decree was mailed to "the same address I've always had, where I received it," says Moody, who has saved the postmarked envelope. It's definitely worth waiting for the late-on scene in which Michigan judge Patrick Reed Joslyn, who officiated at the divorce and child-custody hearings, holds forth in a classic, unguarded moment that documakers must dream of. "I was in the military," says the judge. "If I were in charge of the country, there'd be a lot of dead Iranians." He adds, "Maybe it's fashioned by our own media, because we do have a lot of Jews running the media. Are we still rolling?" he asks the film crew. The fairly sober, though not humorless, Moody is shown answering Iranian students' questions after a college screening of "Not Without My Daughter." He has them mostly in stitches, and occasionally outraged. Various U.S. interviewees explain it's the American way to make sure their country has an enemy to demonize. If Betty fibbed, fabulated or over-dramatized, her book hit the marketplace at the right time and made her rich – so who can argue with success of that magnitude? Meanwhile, the aging Moody is still thwarted at every turn in his efforts to make contact with Mahtob. In the docu, he gets as far as Helsinki, in neutral Finland, hoping for a visa to return to the U.S. for a visit. Film's open-ended conclusion is slightly confused but touching nonetheless.

And one of those cards is Jacobs. My objection to his acquisition had nothing to do with Leo Nunez, he had a good year but always seemed easily replaceable. While he did put up an ERA+ of 120 and 143 in '07 & '08 he only pitched 92 innings in those two seasons, replaceable. No my objection was purely based on Jacobs Kingman-like .299 OBP last season. His OBP has gone down every season and his career mark of .318 is well below league average (.337) but that trend has to stop sometime and most likely will in 2009.
All of Jacobs value is in his power, he has to hit home runs to be productive. So how many does he have to hit to make this a favorable trade for KC? My original thinking was 30, anything less and he is weighing the offense down but I've changed that to the mid-20's with a stat line in the .260/.320/500 neighborhood. I think this possible and actually quite likely looking at his 2009 projections.
|Bill James
I think James projection is a little more in line with what Jacobs will actually do. Looking at a different player CHONE & Marcel have Alex Gordon basically repeating his 2008 season while James has him putting up career highs in everything, which I think he will. So if Jacobs does OPS .840 with 26 home runs well it would be hard for anyone to call that a disappointing season.
Blast away.
Right smack in the middle of this Bob Dutton piece my biggest fear for 2009 has been confirmed:
The Royals are counting on Horacio Ramirez to fill their need for a left-handed starter after shelling out $1.8 million to reacquire him in the free-agent market.
The deal includes up to $900,000 in performance bonuses, and in a winter market characterized by austerity, represents a sizable commitment — especially since Ramirez hasn't been an effective starter since 2005.
Ramirez pitched solely in relief last year, compiling a 2.59 ERA in 15 outings for the Royals before an Aug. 9 trade sent him to the White Sox. Even so, club officials acknowledge only a dreadful spring will keep him from opening the season in the rotation.
Well a dreadful spring didn't keep Tomko out of the rotation last year even though he was outpitched by Kyle Davies and Luke Hochevar so I doubt Ramirez is in any danger. I just don't understand it.
Last year I sponsored the baseball-reference page of Gil Meche and he responded with another good season so this year I'm passing on the Royally Speaking karma to Hochevar.

Growing up in Peru in the 1980s, Dr. Paola Maurtua-Neumann was an eyewitness to one of the world's worst maternal and child healthcare systems. Moved by the experience, she is dedicating her career to stopping the spread of infectious diseases from Peruvian mothers to their infants.
"International research is very important since even small interventions can have an impact on a population with limited resources," says Maurtua-Neumann, the 2011–12 Dauphinot D. Piper International Medicine and Health Fellow at the Tulane University School of Medicine.
Created in 2006, the yearlong fellowship program gives doctors the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of its namesake. After Dauphinot "Derek" Piper graduated from Tulane medical school in 1999, he traveled to Central America and southeast Asia to tackle global health issues. He died in 2006, not long after a brain tumor diagnosis, and friends and family established the Piper Fellowship to support doctors working in international health.
Last summer, Maurtua-Neumann took her expertise to Lima, Peru, where she is setting up a project to assess the mother-to-child transmission of neonatal pathogens. She also is part of a team developing a test to diagnose neonatal sepsis, a blood infection that occurs in infants.
Martua-Neumann currently is working at Tulane and Children's Hospital in New Orleans, where she is a Tulane University/LSU Pediatric Infectious Disease Fellow. She plans to return to Lima to continue her relief work.
In 2007, Anjali Niyogi, the first Piper Fellow, also chose Peru for her research on cervical cancer. The broad scope of the Piper Fellowship develops a wide range of skills, she said.
"In this regard, the fellowship far surpasses others with similar objectives," says Niyogi, an assistant professor of general internal medicine and pediatrics at Tulane.
Information on donating to the Piper Fellowship, is available here, or by calling 888-265-7576.

As the vendor enhances the system, usage will climb even further. "And they stand to get a little more remuneration in return for that," he said, adding that the vendor could earn more in the long run than if the state had paid the full price for the software at the outset.
"At the same time, we're protected, because we're not paying as much up front," Daxon added. Many software implementations fail, he observed. "I certainly don't expect to have that happen here. We're off to a good start; we're certainly going to have a successful project. But when you're making these decisions, you have to consider the fact that things may go wrong."
Daxon said he does not know of any other state that has negotiated a similar arrangement with the vendor of an enterprise system. But Oklahoma has gained valuable information from Oregon, which is financing the purchase of its statewide accounting system through assessments and service charges to state agencies.
"The charge-back method is a convenient way to spread the burden over all of state government and over time, so that current programs don't have to absorb a large, one-time hit to the state budget," said John Radford, Oregon's state controller.
Oklahoma is still determining the transaction fees it will charge and working out the mechanisms for assessing them. Each of Oklahoma's state agencies will receive an appropriation to cover the fees. As a result, much of the cost of the new system will come directly from these agencies' budgets, rather than from the budgets of the central service agencies.
Besides providing revenues to implement, maintain and upgrade the system from year to year, the charge backs will help the state better understand how to allocate costs to particular programs. This will be especially helpful when billing the federal government for subsidized programs, according to the state's budget policy statement. Today, when the state applies for reimbursements, it allocates the cost of operating the central service agencies and their computer systems to the state agencies on a proportional basis. "By separately billing the new system costs, agencies will be able to charge these costs directly to the related programs and, in many cases, realize greater reimbursements to the state," the budget policy statement said.
Fees Encourage Discipline
To some degree, the charge backs could also spur agency employees to work more efficiently. "For instance, somebody posts a bunch of entries, they were sloppy, and they find out they were wrong and they have to go back and correct them all," Daxon said. "If that costs them a couple of hundred bucks, it's going to be at least a blip on the radar screen that we need to make sure that what we send over there is correct when we send it."
The charge per transaction will be small enough that it won't force major changes. However, Daxon said, "I'm hopeful that at the margins we'll see some improvements in the efficiency with which we use these systems."
PeopleSoft's Web-based architecture will save Oklahoma money as well, since the state won't need to install and maintain any software on client machines, said Kimberly Williams, the company's director of marketing and industry strategy, education and government. Also, "you enjoy the ability to deploy this in a very dispersed environment," since employees anywhere in the state can access the system through its browser-based interface.
Savings aside, the big advantage of Oklahoma's financing approach is that it removes a major obstacle to innovation. Forging a partnership with its vendor, the state now has the wherewithal to achieve its larger goal -- providing better service to constituents online.
"I don't think we yet fully understand the potential for what we have here, marrying the portal and the core systems," Daxon said. "I think we're going to have agencies able to do things that we don't even realize we can do today."

Well, there is quite a few. First is the fact that the Packers are 15-1 thanks to stellar play by Rodgers who was able to make up for a porous Green Bay defense all season. In fact, thanks to their final game of the season, the Packers' defense finished dead last in yards allowed with over 411 yards per game. Without Rodgers leading the way week after week, Green Bay would not be 15-1.
Rodgers sets himself apart from Brees and Stafford as a QB who can play in the cold weather of Green Bay. Brees and Stafford tuck themselves away in their temperature-controlled stadiums and dont worry about the 30-40 mph winds that often strike in Green Bay.
A lack of turnovers is another reason why Rodgers is the best QB in the league. He finished the season with only six turnovers. Brady had 14, Brees had 15, Stafford had 17, and all three of them were near the bottom of the league. But no one came even close to protecting the ball the way that Rodgers did.
Maybe the most telling stat is the fact that while Rodgers finished fifth in passing yards, he finished 16thin pass attempts! While Stafford and Brees were attempting their 663rdand 657thpassing attempt respectively on Sunday, Rodgers finished the year with only 502 passing attempts! Give Rodgers another 150 attempts and based on his averages he would have ended the season with 6,030 yards and 61 total TDs. Rodgers didnt need to throw the ball 600+ times like Brady, Brees, and Stafford because he was so efficient in his throws down the field that he ate up yards in a fraction of the plays it took for other QBs to do the same.
One final item that often gets overlooked in the value of Rodgers when he scrambles. Rodgers added 257 yards and three scores on the ground this season. Only Newton, Tebow, and Vick had more rushing yards, and Brees, Brady and Stafford only combined for 16 more rushing yards than Rodgers.
Had Rodgers played in Week 17, this might not even be a discussion. He would have finished the season with around 5,300 total yards and 52 TDs. A game off allowed a few QBs to at least enter the MVP discussion. But when it comes down to the final voting, Aaron Rodgers is the 2011 NFL MVP.

Fatah Central C'tee condemns IDF raid in Jenin that left 3 Palestinians, including a Hamas terrorist, dead.

The Palestinian leadership will not agree to anything less than a fully-autonomous state with East Jerusalem as its capital, will not cave into pressure and will not relinquish its national rights, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday.
The committee members expressed their support of Abbas, and called for an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, leaving neither military nor civilian presence there. They also called to find a "just" solution to the Palestinian refugees issue, based on UN Resolution 194. The committee members also rejected Israel's demand for recognition as a "Jewish state."
Related stories:
They expressed their commitment to the continuation of the peace process within the original American timeframe - that ends on April 29. They stressed that Israel must free the fourth and final group of Palestinian prisoners at the scheduled date (March 29), and rejected Israeli calls to condition the release with the extension of peace talks, saying the prisoner release was conditioned initially with the Palestinians' promise not to seek UN recognition in the duration of the negotiations.
Abbas' meeting with Obama at the White House dealt with the American attempt to extend peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians and to avoid a diplomatic crisis that would affect the entire region.

Iron Sky T-shirts for women – which one do you prefer?April 12th, 2011 by Timo Vuorensola
11 Responses to "Iron Sky T-shirts for women – which one do you prefer?"
Ehdottomasti 1. vaihtoehto. Noita 3. tapaisia printtipaitoja on jo kaapit väärällään.
1 is fantastic, 3 is classic, 2 is… well, not so good :)
1 and 3 are really cool. 2 looks a little bit boring.
All Shirts are equally beautiful… But No. 1 is a little bit nicer :-)
Definitely 1 (both me and my wife like it most). However, with a small adjustment, #2 becomes the winner: http://iron-sky.pp.ua/images/tshirt-1.jpg ^_^
My wife says number 2, and she has better taste than the other wives here. ;)
NOWAI! We defintely need a WifeTastoMeter to solve this issue :) I think both our wives can agree that all three designs look cool.
Definitely the 1st and the 3rd equally. Though, I'd probably have a hard time walking in the street wearing the third one since I live in Israel.
If I'd have to pick one only, it would be nr 1, definitely. When are you sending it to me? ;)
Project Iris share of their Tees sale goes into charity that works for helping the needy women and children.Just pay a visit to them at http://store.projectirisclothing.com/ and be someone to help others at not much a price.
Can you please re-issue t-shirts 1 and 2 in size XL?

Ramblings, Ravings and Rants.: I'd like to say goodbye to a complicated mind
I had a friend tell me they like reading my blog once and it made my day. I've also had people say they find the links I post on FB really interesting, even if they don't subscribe to a paleo lifestyle. Those little things are enough for me, but when introduced to a situation where there's clearly a lot of potential for having a positive impact on someone's life or health... it's tempting, but frankly, scary.

Stevens The Division of Social Sciences is composed of the Departments of Economics, Educational Studies, Geography, History, Political Science, and Sociology and Anthropology, as well as the International Relations Program. Beyond the major programs offered by Social Science departments and programs, the division supervises — under a social sciences topical major — individualized programs that cannot be completed in a single department. Majors in this area often are students whose particular topics of interest require work in more than one Social Science department or in other divisions. A topical major in the social sciences consists of 8–10 courses agreed upon by the student, his or her faculty advisor, and the division director, including several at the 300 level and a unifying final seminar. See "Topical Majors" and "Double Major" in Chapter VI for additional information on requirements and restrictions. Course Offerings SOSC courses count toward the Social Relations, Institutions, and Agents area of inquiry requirement. 275 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance N. Simpson This 0.25-credit course is centered on service learning, where students prepare tax returns for low-income households in Madison and Chenango counties. The course includes approximately 10 hours of class meetings and 15-20 hours of community service in the two-county area during the semester. Students work directly with various non-profit organizations in this course. Graded work includes tax quizzes, participation in tax preparation sessions, volunteer logs, class discussions, and a final paper. Students are allowed to receive credit for this course only once, but may participate in the program again following successful completion of the course. 405 Upstate Law Project: Social Security Benefits for Disabled Children Staff This course introduces students to the Social Security system, discusses the barriers that families of low-income and/or of individuals with disabilities face in accessing social services and medical care, and introduces students to the following legal topics: legal analysis, legal ethics, Social Security disability law, and legal writing. Students prepare a research paper addressing a selected topic on current issues in social service provision. Students also engage in a practicum experience. The practicum involves assisting the instructor, an attorney, with pro bono work helping low-income children (many of whom suffer from psychiatric illnesses) in securing benefits through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program of the U.S. Social Security Administration. The course practicum takes place at the Utica office of The Legal Aid Society of Mid-New York.

I always disregarded the idea of playing bluray discs on my computer. That is, until I picked up an HDCP compliant 24" monitor on black Friday. I never had the intention of HDCP compliance in mind; only the fact that the monitor has HDMI input was of interest to me. I've already got a sound and video card setup that is more than capable of providing good quality video playback. I've also got cyberlink powerDVD.
So the only thing I am missing here is a blu ray drive. I can't find any cheaper than about 70 dollars though, which is two times more than I've ever paid for a dvd rom. To reconcile with that, I'd need to be pretty convinced that blu ray offers something really special.
What do others think? When you watch a blu ray disc on a capable system, do you find it impressive? I would never consider this if I hadn't inadvertently gathered almost everything I need to play it anyways, but I'm almost there.

Reward for Information Leading to Identification of the Person Responsible for Shooting a Whooping Crane Near Miller, South Dakota
Reward for Information Leading to Identification of the Person Responsible for Shooting a Whooping Crane Near Miller, South Dakota
A reward has been offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the shooting of a whooping crane located along 354th Avenue, approximately 17 miles southwest of Miller, South Dakota.
Law enforcement officers from the Service and the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks are investigating the shooting which took place Friday afternoon on April 20, 2012. The migrating adult whooping crane was traveling with two additional whooping cranes before being shot with a high-power rifle as it was standing in a corn field.
Anyone with information should call either the 24-hour Turn in a Poacher Hotline at 1-888-OVERBAG (683-7224) or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at 605-224-9045 to report any information which will aid officers in the apprehension of the shooter. Callers can remain anonymous.
Observations and other information reported by the public play a key role in solving wildlife crime, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent Brad Merrill. The whooping crane is among one of the rarest birds in the world with a total population of approximately 600 individuals worldwide, which includes captive raised whooping cranes.
The crane which was killed, its mate, and their sub-adult whooping crane were among less than 300 whooping cranes migrating from their wintering grounds found in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge along the Texas Gulf Coast to Woods Buffalo State Park located in Alberta and the Northwest Territories in Canada. This population of cranes is the only self-sustaining population of whooping cranes in the world. In addition to the Endangered Species Act, whooping cranes are protected by state laws and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Carlon Brown (15) drives as New Mexico's Darington Hobson defends during the first half.
Feb. 13, 2010
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -After starting the Mountain West Conference season at the bottom of the standings, No. 15 New Mexico is on top headed into the final stretch.
The Lobos outlasted Utah 68-65 in overtime on Saturday night, extending their winning streak to nine with a rare victory in Salt Lake City.
"We're just real confident," said Roman Martinez, whose 3-pointer late in overtime put the Lobos up for good after several Utah comebacks. "We always respect our opponent, but I think we're playing confident now and more calm than we used to be."
Martinez finished with 15 points and added a crucial offensive rebound in overtime that allowed the Lobos (23-3, 9-2) to extend the lead to five and finish off the Utes (11-13, 4-6).
Dairese Gary scored 19 and Darington Hobson finished with 11 assists, 10 rebounds and eight points for New Mexico. A.J Hardeman finished with a career-high 12 rebounds as the Lobos controlled the boards 45-36 and Philip McDonald added 13 points.
New Mexico led most of the game but could never pull away by much. It was only the Lobos' second win here in their last 21 visits.
Marshall Henderson scored 21 and Carlon Brown had 18 points for Utah, including a 3-pointer to tie it at 60 with about 2 seconds left in regulation.
"It just seems like it always goes like that with New Mexico," Brown said. "You just wish you could have won it and wish that you had gotten some calls to go the other way, but that's just how our season has been going."
New Mexico was coming off a win at UNLV - another place the Lobos have traditionally struggled - and escaped the daunting two-game road trip still alone in first place in the Mountain West. The Lobos haven't lost since opening the conference season 0-2.
"That's really big - coming on the road and getting two wins," said Hardeman, who just missed out on a double-double with nine points.
"We didn't shoot the foul shots well and we didn't shoot very well, but we held in there and did enough to take the win in the end," New Mexico coach Steve Alford said. "It was nice to take a win on the road this game."
Hardeman had a chance to seal it but went 1 for 2 from the line to give New Mexico a 60-57 lead with 9.5 seconds left. After a time out, the Utes got the ball to Brown in the corner and his 3-pointer with about two seconds left tied it again.
Alford is the first coach in New Mexico school history to beat Utah twice in Salt Lake City.
"For us to win in overtime - when they made the shot that put the game into overtime- (that) doesn't happen very often," Alford said.
Brown drove for a layup to put Utah up 62-60 in overtime, but Hardeman tied it again with a dunk and then Martinez gave the Lobos the final lead of the game on a 3-pointer with 1:26 left. Martinez added an offensive rebound on the next possession that led to two more foul shots by Hobson and New Mexico held on for the win.
"Things weren't going our way and we pushed on through," Martinez said. "They were trying to fight and go into another overtime. The little things like that I think are huge, especially in overtime."
The Utes went scoreless for 5:01 after David Foster's layup cut the Lobos' lead to 20-19 with 8:28 left in the first half. Martinez and McDonald hit back-to-back 3 pointers to get New Mexico started on a 9-2 run late in the half and the Lobos were up 31-25 at the break.

A bell from the Confederate warship Albemarle is back in North Carolina for a 10-year stay.
The bell arrived Wednesday at the Port O' Plymouth Museum in Plymouth. It came from the Worcester Historical Museum in Massachusetts, where the bell had been since April for the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the war.
Museum curator Harry Thompson says the bell came from a church and was about three times larger than the typical ship's bell of the time.
The Albemarle sank in the Roanoke River muck in 1864 after the Union shoved a torpedo into its bow, ending its six-month campaign against the Union blockade in the Albemarle Sound.

Latest News Philippines: Who is General Alan LM Purisima? – Journal.com.ph:
DIRECT and simple. Officials say these two words best describe Deputy Director General Alan La Madrid Purisima, the police official slated to replace Philippine National Police chief Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome. A known 'well-rounded officer' and a practical 'out-of-the-box' thinker, Purisima will become the 18th PNP chief and the third to be appointed as Chief PNP by President Benigno S. Aquino II since he assumed the presidency in 2010, the first being General Raul M. Bacalzo of Philippine Military Academy Class 1977 who retired in September 2010 and was replaced by Gen. Bartolome, a member of PMA Class 1980, who will be marking his 56th birthday on March 16, next year.
Purisima's 'out-of-the- box' thinking was polished through his various assignments and responsibilities when he led different offices and units in the PNP prior to his designation as the PNP's 4th highest official last September 5, his PMA Class 1981 mistahs and colleagues told the Journal Group.
He was airing his views on accepting deserving college undergraduates — those who have at least 72 units in their transcript of records — into the police force provided they pass all written and oral examinations, submit all the requirements, endure rigorous training and most of all, confirmed to be of really good moral character by respected members of their communities, when the Journal Group came to visit him.
Born on November 21, 1959, Purisima is a known lover of music. On Monday, this paper found him listening to Beatles music while signing documents in his table. "The general really loves music, the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, from Beatles to Bon Jovi," said Senior Superintendent Guillermo Eleazar, a member of PMA Class 1987 who has been working with Purisima since 2004.
Unknown to many, Purisima can hit the high notes. His favorite is 'Cama de Rosas,' the Spanish version of the Bon Jovi hit Bed of Roses. Being a member of the PMA cadet combo where he played the organ, Purisima has become a musically-inclined policeman who would rather listen to old greatest hits rather than watch movies.
The 3rd of seven children, Purisima is married to a devoted woman, the former Maria Ramona Lydia Isidoro-Purisima who stood by him all this time. The couple is blessed with four sons.
His educational background will prove that he has indeed strived hard to achieve what he has today. A product of public school who grew up in the rural town of San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, Purisima said that he knew even at a young age that his calling was in public service.
Right after he graduated from high school, he prepared well to realize his dream by taking the PMA entrance examination and successfully making it to Fort del Pilar, the country's premier military school in Baguio City. Purisima forms part of the highly-esteemed PMA 'Dimalupig' Class of 1981.
Shortly after graduating from PMA in 1981, he joined the Philippine Constabulary (PC). Among the key posts he held were the following: Team leader of the Task Force CABNEC in San Jose City, Nueva Ecija, 1981; officer-in-charge of the Porac Detachment, 583rd PC Company, Pampanga, 1982; and as the Intelligence officer, Nueva Ecija PC/INP, in 1986.
He started his friendship with the would-be president, the eldest son of the late democracy icon, President Corazon C. Aquino, in 1987 when he served as the intelligence officer/commanding officer of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) assigned to protect the First Family. He later went on to become the executive officer of the PSG Special Reaction Unit in Malacañang Palace from 1988 to 1989, the period when the Corazon Aquino presidency came under heavy attacks from mutinous Reform the Armed Forces soldiers led by then Colonel Gregorio ''Gringo'' Honasan.
He won't talk about it but officials close to him said that as a young PC major, Purisima was sent to rescue P-Noy Aquino from a band of military rebels who ambushed his convoy near the Palace during one of their several attempts to seize the Aquino presidency. At least two aides of the young Aquino were killed in that ambush. Aquino himself was wounded in that incident and still bore scars as a result of the attack.
After the bloody December 1989 coup d'etat which almost toppled the Aquino presidency, Purisima became the operations officer of the PC Special Action Force based in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig until 1991.

Right before coming out with the excellent "Mastino", the guys from Emporio Elaborazioni had turned their attention to one of the most iconic bikes of the 80s, the Yamaha XJ600. The team led by Mr.Andrea "Dopz" managed to put their hands on a 1984 model and transformed it into this wonderful cafe racer, re-dubbed "Striscianera" (Black Stripe in Italian).
The heartbeat of this beautiful machine comes from the original Yamaha Dohc engine: a 599 cc, 4-stroke, water-cooled in-line four unit with 2 valves per cylinder and a 6-speed gearbox. The guys from Emporio Elaborazione got rid of all the useless plastic bits (so typical of that decade) and put the bike on a serious diet, which led to a weight loss of 35 kg.
Stripped of its mudguards and fairings and with the rear part of the frame gone out of the window, the bike must have looked like a white canvas for the EE boys: they welded different new parts to the frame, placed an elegant fibreglass tank on the top with a classy ERGAL (Extra Refined Grain ALuminum) gas cap on the side, simplified the electric wiring, removed the air box, added a new saddle and painted the whole thing red and black, with the ignition lock now placed on the side as well. It took them just 3 months to get the job done, and we have to say that the resulting bike really is an eye candy.

UK import Ed Sheeran has made ripples on both sides of the pond by tugging at heartstrings and guitar chords. But beneath the folk hero lies a hip-hop soul
STORY: John Kennedy | PHOTOS: Sarah McColgan
In a single-level house tucked away in the tangled backroads of Northeast Los Angeles, Ed Sheeran has an entire room in tears. Cradling his custom-made C.F. Martin & Co. guitar, the England-born singer strums some familiar notes, knocks on the golden-brown wood and begins reciting lyrics that are far from the heart-wringing brand of emo that's made him a global star.

Nope! It's Movember. Movember is a campaign to raise awareness and funds to support the fight against prostate/testicular cancer. The movement began in Australia (where the nick name for moustache is "Mo") and is now a global force.
During month of November men around the world grow moustaches and gather sponsors to donate to the cause. It's a fun way to generate awareness for a sometimes forgotten issue — men's health.
Here at TheLadders, a group of 24 proud and brave men to rock the 'stache for the entire month. So far we've raised $5,200 and are almost at our lofty goal of $6k. As capitan of the team, I can tell you it's no easy task walking around for a month with a ferret on your upper lip. Mothers hide their children, girls shoot dirty looks and I keep getting offers to be a Burt Reynolds stunt double. The point is that a moustache is quite ostentatious accessory and everyone has an opinion. But, that's the point! Every glare, every snarl, every fleeing old lady is a chance to spread the word. It's a living billboard for men's health, and the 24 men of TheLadders have done a smashing job of generating funds and fun to kick cancer's butt.
We've even created a calendar to memorialize our efforts. A beautiful desk calendar available for only $10. Every person purchasing the calendar will not only be contributing to a worthwhile cause but, ensuring a 2012 full of daily creepiness!
If you're interested in donating click here.
- Click "Donate to team" on the left hand side or find your favorite moustache dude on the right hand side of the page to donate individually
- Fill out the required information
- Give the 'stache and cancer research a monetary boost
If you would like this alluring desk calendar, just email me and I'll make the magic happen for you!

A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is the most effective treatment for sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder in which breathing is interrupted throughout the night. Sleep apnea can decrease your quality of life and contribute to cardiovascular disease and events such as heart attack and stroke.
When you first learn you need to use a CPAP machine every time you sleep, you may feel limited, overwhelmed, or even alarmed about the idea. But once you have the right machine and mask for you, you should be able to breathe easier and sleep better.
Focus on the positive. Using CPAP to treat your sleep apnea will improve the quality of your sleep, and therefore, the quality of your life. You will feel better and be healthier. And your partner will not have to lose sleep listening to you snore, so your relationship may benefit.

"I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine." So said Doug Preisse, chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party, in an email to The Columbus Dispatch.
The racist comment came at the height of a controversy regarding early voting in Ohio. To put an end to county-by-county discrepancies for early voting hours, Secretary of State Jon Husted directed county boards of elections on Aug. 15 to enact uniform early voting hours.
The new hours would mostly keep business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the first three weeks of early voting, which begins Oct.
2. For the final two weeks, early voting would be expanded to 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the final Friday of early voting lasting from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The new hours exclude any weekend voting.
The move to standardize voting hours across the state was not well received by Democrats. They see it as an attempt to limit early voting by not including weekends.
Soon after Husted directed county boards to invoke his uniform rules, Dayton-area Democrats voted to ignore the rules and enact weekend voting anyway. Husted told the Democrats to follow his uniform rules. When the Democrats on the board refused, Husted suspended and threatened to fire them.
"It's outrageous and borderline criminal," said Chris Redfern, chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, in a statement reacting to Husted's threats.
That led to Preisse's admission to playing racial politics in an attempt to defend Republicans, and it also led to a hearing Aug. 20 on whether or not the Montgomery County Board of Elections Democrats can be fired.At the hearing, Dennis Lieberman, one of the Democrats on the Montgomery County Board of Elections, said he "was not put on the board of elections to be a puppet." Lieberman also pointed out that weekend voting saved Montgomery County $200,000 in the 2008 elections by lowering the number of precincts required.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A victory celebration for the local driver who took home this year's Indy 500 gets going Tuesday afternoon. St. Pete's Dan Wheldon won the prestigious race in dramatic fashion.
Jannus Live will be full of fans cheering on the man who pulled off that magical, stunning win just over a week ago.
The welcome home celebration will start at 5 p.m. at Jannus Live, on 2nd St. N. in Downtown St. Petersburg. At 5:30, after Mayor Bill Foster delivers a proclamation in his honor, Wheldon will join in a question and answer session on stage.
A live concert by Jeremy Thomas Band will finish off the event. It's hosted by the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, and it's free. Optional donations will be accepted the local chapter of Wheldon's charity of choice, the Alzheimer's Association.
Wheldon won his first Indianapolis 500 back in 2005. That's the same year he won the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg and moved to St. Pete. So he definitely knew how to put himself into a position to win this Memorial Day weekend.
What a whirlwind for a guy. In 2009, Wheldon finished second in the Indy 500. In 2010, he finished second -- again. And in 2011, it looked like he was destined to be runner up once more.
Rookie J.R. Hildebrand had the lead and was one turn away from the immortality that comes with winning the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing." But as he tried to pass a slower car that had dropped out of competition, Hildebrand made a very mortal mistake.
His car was too high as it came out of the last turn. As the finish line came into view, Hildebrand's car continued moving up the track, closer and closer to the outside wall. In an instant, the right side of his car burst into a mix of dust and machinery as it collided with the concrete wall.
Dan Wheldon swooped in from second place. He passed Hildebrand's mangled car as it slid along the wall. Wheldon took the win and celebrated in Victory Lane.
After a traditional drink of milk, followed by a splash poured on his head, Wheldon started touring to country as the Indy 500 champ. Monday night, he headed to the Late Show with David Letterman.
Between jokes and questions, Dave reminded Dan that the team he drove for at Indy was a one-off deal; it will not race the rest of the season.
That means despite winning the Indianapolis 500 twice, and 14 other races in his career, Dan Wheldon currently has no race car to drive.
"An unemployed champion," Wheldon chuckled. But he said the $2.6 million payout he'll split with his team makes for an impressive unemployment check.
Wheldon is looking for a ride for this weekend's races at Texas Motor Speedway. Drivers will be running two IndyCar races back-to-back on the same night.
If he cannot find a team to drive with, Wheldon has reportedly worked out a deal to provide commentary on TV during the races.

In the spirit of Andy Rooney, I've got to complain: Large annual birthday celebrations for humans over the age of 21 are fucking ridiculous. Having a "birthday weekend" — or god forbid a "birthday week" — with multiple events takes the narcissism to a whole new level.
If I were king, anyone over age 21 would be permitted: a small dinner or happy hour with a handful of friends. The end, full stop. Maybe some Rock Band at home, though I'm no fan of Rock Band parties either. You could throw a larger bash on milestone birthdays, no more than once every 10 years.
I finally removed my birthday information from Facebook because the endless stream of insincere birthday wishes just got me depressed. This is not to say I fear growing older — on the contrary I'm actually pretty excited about it. But I think this neverending string of celebrations for not dying during another 365-day period is a bit grandiose.
It could also be because I'm just really, really bad at remembering my friends' birthdays.
UPDATE: J. tells me that Patton Oswalt has a funny bit on this.

Basic Info:
Product Name: xSky (Official Site)
Type: Software
Developer: Jeff Hansen
Price: $27/mo (You can get 7 days trial for $4.95)
Launch Date: July 20th, 2011
Click here for xSky Bonus
I have came across today with a new software called xSky which seems to be unique and so I decided to do an xSky review to share the info I know with you specially those looking to buy this tool.
Who is Jeff Hansen?
Actually all I know about Jeff Hansen is that he is a 16 year old developer from Denmark. He's not a famous name but I always find the good products to come from unknown people!!
xSky software is a Skype add-on. For those of you who use Skype marketing, what I'm going to say now will be familiar but those who never tried Skype marketing, it is actually a type of marketing depending on having many contacts on Skype and then offering them your products or whatever you wanna offer (something like Facebook friends or Twitter followers).
So, what does xSky exactly do?
xSky has many features that aim to automate the process of Skype marketing as the following:
1 – Management of your contacts easily and quickly.
2- Organizing your contacts so that you can send specific broadcasts to certain people. xSky creates new categories within your Skype and then adds contacts to groups based on the filter options.
3- You can use xSky to find new contacts on Skype which could be amazing for your sales if you use it carefully.
4- Another cool feature is that you can personalize any message you send to your contacts by addressing them by their first name which builds intimate relationship with your list.
5- You can build relative list of contacts by using the filtering contacts feature.
6- If you have some contacts in more than one category and you send the same message to these categories, xSky will not send this message to the same contact more than once.
7- xSky will never send messages to contacts till they add you, so you are safe with Skype legal conditions.
8- One of the most important things in my opinion is that Jeff Hansen is the programmer and at the same time the owner of xSky unlike many other software which the owner hires a programmer to develop it for him then go away and the result is after some time that software becomes inactive.
These are some of the features of xSky software which is really cool for those using Skype to build lists for their business.
According to the xSky team, this add-on has been approved by Skype however still some guidelines you need to follow when using xSky to avoid being a spammer. Also, it's advised to make a back-up for your contacts every now and then so that if your account is banned you don't lose your contacts. Watch this video (I'm not the creator of it of course):
xSky software is a Skype add-on that allows you to automate Skype marketing process so you can say xSky for Skype marketing is like Aweber for email marketing (With the advantage that your emails will not end in the junk folder). It will help you find more contacts, organize groups, add contacts to groups, send broadcasts to members of a group with personalization and some more features so if you use this tool carefully, it can help you to build huge lists similar to mailing lists (always put yourself in the recipient's shoes and see if what you are sending will be a spam for you or not).

does a womens age affect her getting pregnant like for example 34
and if a women had a miscarriage and her doc didnt perform a DNC on her could that affect her chances of conceiving
Posted: 09/17/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Yes age can be a factor in conceiving The older a woman is, the lower the chance of conception. 90% of women aged 20-24 will become pregnant within 12 months of trying 65% of women aged 30-34. At 30 a fertile woman's chance of becoming pregnant each month are 20%. By 40, that drops to 5%.posted 09/18/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
In addition to the answer above, I had a MC and had not DNC done and had fallen pregnant again within 8months (again a MC - due to CB) Most docs wont perfom a DNC these days unless there are remnants of the pregnancy left behind. My doc gave me a tablet Postinor-2 (morning after pill?) which expelled the rest and saved the discomfort of the DNCposted 09/21/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Let us discuss a woman;s chances of conceiving in her early 30s versus in her early 40s. Your chances of conceiving each month are much greater at 30-34 years of age (while in your early 30s) than at 40-44 years of age. As a standard of comparison (based upon maternal age), it took ONE attempt (at sexual intercourse) for me to conceive a baby at age 20. That pregnancy ended in miscarriage. In contrast, at 33 years of age it took 13 months of ACTIVELY TTC my only child to achieve a "positive" result on a pregnancy test. Assuming that you are not undergoing IVF or other fertility treatments (i.e., Clomid, trigger shots), the average time to conception for a 30-34 year-old woman is 8-12 months. Persistence is key while TTC. If you are using hormonal forms of birth control (The Pill, The Patch, Implanon, NuvaRing, Depo-Provera), expect that it take awhile for the birth control to leave your system. After the hormones leave your system, conception is then possibleposted 09/30/2012 by din654

Samsung to Launch Galaxy Note 3 in Red and White Gold in January 2014?
Samsung is fond of launching different color variants of its Galaxy flagship devices and the Galaxy Note 3 line up will get two new color variants early next year.
According to SamMobile, its source claims that Samsung will be launching the red model in the first week of January 2014 followed by the white gold variant two weeks later. Both colors are said to be available in global markets.
Introducing a gold variant of the Galaxy Note 3 is not surprising since HTC recently unveiled the gold One for the European market. Samsung also introduced two gold edition Galaxy S4s for the Middle East market in late September.
