It can be hard staying in touch with those we love, especially when they are locked away in jail or prison; writing letters by hand isn't just time consuming for some, it's a burden. When that's the case, using this service to send mail to inmates is simple, less stressful and provides a bond between inmates and those on the outside. Many people can write an email in a few minutes but most current facilities DO NOT provide email accounts for prisoners. EmailToInmates.com allows you to do it by converting electronic messages to postal mail which is accepted.
The basic requirements to use this service to send mail to an inmate is an email account, an inmate to write to and paying a small service fee to handle the processing. Get started by signing up and composing your first letter. After confirming your registration, you will be logged in automatically and you'll find more features available to you including the composition forms. Special requests are always considered but please be aware that THERE ARE restrictions imposed by certain agencies and organizations that mean you'll need to abide by those rules or your mail will be returned; we don't read or edit your mail, it's your responsibility.
While most people go about their lives feeling busy, inmates sit in jail, often with nothing to do but watch TV, which isn't as much fun as it sounds. Aside from regular meals and daily routine, if an inmate has money "on the books" they can purchase items from a commissary store which often gives a person some temporary activity; puzzle books, playing cards, extra food to prepare and eat, and hygiene items are the most common. Otherwise its eat, sleep and talk to other inmates whom they may have nothing in common with, but have no other way to pass the time. While jails and prisons do have programs for inmates to attend, like church services, recreation and AA meetings, in a 24 hour day a one or two hour distraction from their surroundings just isn't enough. What makes writing prisoners inmate mail so special and important to inmates is that you're their contact with the outside world, they feel you have no restrictions on your life but they are separated from people by more than just walls, it's an emotional prison too.

Newsweek coverage:
"These are unfriendly times to be a Scientologist. In December, Germany's Interior Ministry moved to ban the organization, which has tax-exempt religious status in the United States. In January, St. Martin's Press published Andrew Morton's salacious unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise, which describes the star as its de facto second in command. The church responded with a 15-page statement, calling the book "a bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies" and saying Cruise "is a Scientology parishioner and holds no official or unofficial position in the Church hierarchy." Jenna Hill Miscavige, a niece of church leader David Miscavige who left the fold in 2005, this week came out in support of Morton and slammed the organization for, among other things, its practice of "disconnection--essentially severing contact with family members seen as hostile to the group.
Now, a loose-knit consortium of hackers and activists calling itself "Anonymous" has declared "war" on the organization. "

Shu Uemura Drawing Lip Pencil Reviews
Perfect! Silky and moisturizing at the same timeI have this lip pencil in Nude 949, and I want to preface this by saying that I usually hate lip pencils and I never buy them because I am afraid that as the day goes on it will wear off and I'll end up with a really nasty outlined lip look. But this pencil is perfect for my day makeup when I want to keep my lips very understated but I still want them to have some color. I fill in my lips with thi...read mores pencil, and I find that it blends seamlessly into my lips and also feels very moisturizing at the same time. It also has very good staying power as I find that it still goes strong at the end of the day. I sweep a clear or light-pink colored gloss over it and I'm ready to go! Wonderful lip pencil and I definitely recommend it :) — 9 years, 2 months agolilpixytiff | 7 reviews

HERE it is! Saints new home shirt for the 2013 season has been revealed.
Tradition meets the modern as the famous Red V Shirt is this year trimmed with black to create a stunning kit for the forthcoming season.
The club have taken inspiration from a shirt which is synonymous with one of the greatest moments in the Club's history.
The Red V is extended across the shoulders in homage to the famous 'Wide to West' try of 2000.
The shorts are predominately white with red flashes whilst the socks are red with white tops, with Saints woven down the reverse.
And the club proudly displays the team name – St.Helens R.F.C. – on the collar on the rear of the kit… so that's all the opposition see as we race away from would-be tacklers!
Designed and produced by Australian kit manufacturers ISC, Main Shirt Sponsor Ty-phoo Tea are across the chest with Tudor North West set in the centre.
On the left shoulder are long term partners Knowsley Safari Park, My Protein are on the right with ODs Designer Clothing on the collar.
Hattons Solicitors and PSD Vehicle Rental retain their traditional rear of shirt placing.
The Short Sponsors for 2013 are Magners.
Steve Law, Saints Merchandising Manager, said: "We are delighted to showcase our brand new home shirt for Super League Season 2013. Once again we have worked very closely with our Official Kit supplier ISC to produce a kit we believe the fans and the players will love.
"This year we have combined the old with the new by extending the famous Red V up through the chest and over the shoulders. This was to maintain the tradition of a deeper vee whilst the addition of black into the home kit in the form of inserts, cuffs and hem trims has been created from the black trim within the Club Logo.
"The shirt is both functional and fashionable and can be worn on matchnights or socially. The shirts are of the same high quality as previous, with the same cut and sew construction used for the last two seasons.
"The material is vector polyester which is designed to keep you cool in hotter weather and warmer in colder times. The badge is dimension welded whilst the ISC Logo and the Club Name are embroidered on the right chest and back of the neck respectively. We expect demand to be high pre-Christmas so don't delay and pre-order yours today."

Influence of Advertising Variability, Brand Extension Effects, Brand Name, Variety Seeking Behavior and Customer Value on Buying Decisions: A Multi-experiment Analysis
The belief that individual difference in brand preference or choice behavior are caused by personality differences has not always been supported by empirical research. The experiment on the variety seeking behavior of consumers, discussed in this paper argues that although consumers are seeking novelty and unexpectedness in a brand that they have not bought before, their purchase will be selective, in reference to the empirical investigation. The perceptions on brand name in reference to brand risk and brand differences have been the prime factors in making buying decision for new brands among the consumers. Consumers also ascertain the brand name associated with the unfamiliar brands as they feel high risk averse and entangle in decision making with perceived brand differences. The paper discusses the influence of advertising, brand name, variety seeking behavior and customer value towards making buying decisions. The study has been divided into four experiments carried out in reference to retail business environment in Mexico.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/9/2011 (2167 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When I was a student at the University of Manitoba, most us got to the Fort Garry campus by public transit. At the time the transit company was privately owned by the Winnipeg Electric Company and there was an ongoing battle between the students and the company related to the level of services.
The student newspaper, The Manitoban, published a sarcastic article wherein it was stated the transit company was complaining of vandalism by students who damaged the seats of the vehicles.
The authority said it intended to retaliate by removing the seats from the university-bound buses. In order to demonstrate its good faith, the company said it would conduct a plebiscite among the students, giving them the opportunity to voice their opinion before it took any action.
The announcement then ended with the statement: "The plebiscite will be taken, the results will be announced, and the seats will be removed."
Supporters of the Canadian Wheat Board are now accusing the federal government of acting in a similarly arbitrary and undemocratic manner by ignoring the Canadian Wheat Board-sponsored plebiscite that polled farmer opinion on the continued monopoly position of the board with respect to the marketing of wheat and barley in the Prairie provinces.
The plebiscite has been held, the results have been announced, and the monopoly position of the board will be terminated. This despite 62 per cent of the voters supporting the board with respect to wheat and 51 per cent supporting the monopoly with respect to barley.
But before we jump to the conclusion of making inappropriate analogies, some consideration should be given to important features of this case that make such comparisons meaningless.
First, the Canadian Wheat Board used its resources to advance a political position, which it had no mandate to do. The wheat board is responsible for the marketing of grain and should not be involved in the question of whether it should continue to have the legislative powers, which come from the government of the country. The government created the wheat board and whether it will continue is a political decision. As the saying goes: "The legislature giveth, and the legislature taketh away."
In addition, what is being voted on is whether the majority of a group of farmers can decide that the freedom of those who disagree with them can be removed.
It is probably correct to say, as the wheat board will argue, that unless there is a single desk to which all farmers are required to market their grain, the effectiveness of the CWB will be reduced and it might even be forced out of business. But is this reason enough to deny a freedom to which most Canadians are entitled as of right?
The true magnitude of the vote should also be assessed. Only 55 per cent of those eligible cast their ballots. That means only 34 per cent of eligible farmers voted in favour of a wheat monopoly and about 26 per cent in favour of a barley monopoly.
Since many people who would have voted negatively knew the government was going to legislate, it is likely they saw no need to cast a ballot in what had been described as a useless gesture.
Should 34 per cent and 26 per cent respectively have the right to say that 100 per cent will be denied the right to operate as do their fellow Canadians in Ontario and Quebec, who are not subject to wheat board control?
Then again, the vote was only open to those who have been engaged in the marketing of wheat and barley. It is reasonable to assume that some farmers gave up these crops because they didn't want to subjected to wheat board control.
As Lenin said of the Russian soldiers who deserted the front in the First World War: "They voted with their feet." If those votes were counted, it could well turn out that a small minority of the relevant farmers actually prefer to be subjected to a controlled rather than a free market.

Where Will The Transportation Money Come From, Mr. President?
As noted here earlier, while many departments saw major decreases in their 2012 budgets, the transportation budget saw an increase of 68%. Writing in Innovation Briefs, Ken Orski wonders where the funds to pay for the increases will come from.
Considering that the federal gas tax has not been increased since 1993, and the Highway Trust Fund has had to be subsidized with $34.5 billion from the general fund in 2008, one must wonder how the President will meet his pledge that "his transportation program will be 'fully paid for' (and) that funding for surface transportation will not increase the deficit."
"The tax revenues generated by the gas tax are estimated to total $36.8 billion in FY 2012 and $230 billion over the next six years according to the latest projections of the Congressional Budget Office. How does the President propose to bridge the $70 billion funding shortfall in FY 2012 and the $326 billion shortfall over the life of the next reauthorization?"
The President has proposed a Passenger Rail account to be added to a new unified Transportation Trust Fund. What will be the source of revenue for the Passenger Rail account ?
Thanks to Ken Orski

The proliferation of technological tools such as iPads, smart phones and similar devices in recent years has brought about increased opportunities that individuals, schools and some cities have found beneficial in terms of cost savings and efficiency.
Norwood Young America could soon be added to the list of local cities that have gone paperless, as council members discussed the option for the first time during their meeting on Monday, Aug. 13.
Specifically, the council heard a report from city staff on the potential cost savings and practicality of forgoing the printing and assembly of paper information packets for the council and instead purchasing a set of iPads and associated software that would be distributed to council members for their terms in office.
City staff estimated that the cost to produce paper packets, assemble and deliver them over the course of a year totals about $3,060. On the other hand, purchasing seven iPads at a cost of $399 each for council members and staff — along with accompanying keyboards, PDF software that would allow council members to make notes on the packets, and warranties — was about $4,488.59.
In short, the city would begin to see a cost savings after about a year and a half of use.
While the council did not take action to approve the switch to paperless packets during the meeting, a majority council members seemed to be favorably disposed toward the possibility. Mayor Tina Diedrick had originally proposed the idea, and councilors Dick Stolz and Carol Lagergren voiced support for the proposal during the meeting.
There are no funds in this year's budget to proceed with the purchase of equipment, but the council could direct staff to provide for that expenditure in the 2013 budget if it deems the change beneficial. If council members decide to act sooner, staff could also research the current budget to find potential sources of funding.
Elsewhere in Carver County, the cities of Victoria and Carver have already gone paperless and adopted policies for the use of the city-owned equipment.
Sheriff's Report
Council members received the monthly Sheriff's Report, and statistics show that crime levels have remained relatively stable in the city from 2011 to 2012.
Through July of this year there have been 24 individuals arrested, compared to 33 through July of last year.
Part I crimes are also slightly below last year's totals, with 35 total Part I crimes reported through July compared to 38 last year. The majority of those incidents (25) have been thefts this year, while there have also been seven reported burglaries, two aggravated assaults and one sex crime.
Part II crimes are up slightly overall this year, from 104 through July of 2011 to 114 this year. Those incidents include 17 property damage reports, 16 assaults and 14 theft-related incidents.
In other business, the council:
• Accepted the full resignation of City employee Jim Beckendorf, effective Aug. 31. Beckendorf has been partially retired since 2009, and the city has continued to operate with his Class B wastewater license. With his official retirement, however, the city will need to contract with its city engineer or a neighboring community to operate under that license.
• Held a public hearing and approved a request to vacate a public drainage and utility easement in the Tacoma West Industrial Park. The action was related to the recent replatting of a pair of lots in the industrial park to accommodate the Vickerman expansion project.
• Reviewed and approved a request for outdoor consumption at the new Unkle Thirsty's establishment during Stiftungsfest.
• Held a public hearing regarding changes to the rental housing licensing ordinance. The license fee was increased in 2012, and during the meeting the council approved an extension of the license period from two years to three years in order to save on city costs and give property owners additional value for the increased fee.
• Approved a lawful gambling exempt permit for Stiftungsfest raffles.
• Approved an outdoor liquor consumption request for Last Call Too Inc.
• Approved a payment of $89,390.83 to Caldwell Asphalt Company for crack sealing and seal coating work.

Scots Records
I have been researching Scottish records for several years. They may be the most digitalized in the world. The best way to access these is to go to the General Register Office on Princes St. in Edinburgh and spend a full day on one of their computers. They also have expert assistants to answer your questions. The same information can be accessed online at scotlandspeople.gov.uk. However, you must pay as you acquire more info. The Scots have done an admirable job since everyone had to be registered beginning in 1855, but they also are protective of what they have accomplished. James Bates
World Wide Content
Like all these people on this document, I too would love to have access to records from more countries. I know that Ancestry.ca is working hard to collect more records and I was recently thrilled to be able to search my Irish roots more thoroughly. I would like to just put in a word for Belgian ( specifically Flemish) records. -Victoriaannebury 03:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)Victoria Bury
Thanks for all you do but I have to agree. I don't have any links with the USA. I am trying to find Scotland mainly Scotland and St Helena Alantic Ocean lineage. Please help me with these records. jb
If this wiki continues to be so US dominated I can't imagine anyone else will bother with it. How about some UK and Aussie links from the front page? --Always sign your name after your comments by using two hyphens (or a dash) followed by four tildes (

I agree. My Mother is from Spain and I can not find a single record for any of my Spanish Relatives or any records from Spain. Paying for the "World" membership was a complete waste of money. jmcates11
I think this will work out all right, it just takes time. Like the Spain person, we do need some special pages. I do research in Scotland and Germany and Switzerland. I would think it's hard to find and recover all special papers for everyone and that would be to have people spread out on everything instead of one place. This is going to take a long time to complete, but I'm willing to wait. My daughter will take up the reins when I'm gone. I am going to enjoy myself while I can.wwwcomWORLDWIDE
World Wide Content? i AM ALSO VERY DISSATISFIED AND I FEEL MISLED BECAUSE NOT ONLY THAT WE HAVE ACCESS ONLY TO US RECORDS BUT EVEN THOSE ARE VERY LIMITED AND HAVE MANY WRONG INFORMATION. EVEN BIRTH RECORDS ARE MOST OFTEN ESTIMATED.MY GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN IN USA AND LIVED HERE IN LATE 1800 TILL AGE 14. I CAN'T FIND ANY OF HER RECORDS ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALL HER INFORMATION. FEW WEEKS AGO THERE WAS PERMISSION TO SEARCH IN OTHER COUNTRIES SO I HAVE TRIED POLAND MY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN JUST TO FIND 99% OF THE RECORDS BEING OF THOSE WHO HAVE JEWISH ROOTS. POLAND HAVE ONE OF THE BEST ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS OF PEOPLE STARTING FROM SIXTEEN CENTURY AND I AM SURPRISED THAT ANCESTRY.COM HAVE NO ACCESS TO THEM. I HOPE THAT THIS WILL CHANGE IF THEY WANT TO KEEP PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THEM. THE THINGS THAT I LIKE ABOUT ANCESTRY.COM IS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EASE OF CREATING FAMILY TREE.
Likewise, I'm am dismayed that I can get no data from Belarus/Poland/Russia/Ukraine. I finally downgraded my subscription to U.S. since I can't get the information I desperately need for any of my great-grandparents and previous generations. And I'm still struggling trying to locate death records for my great-grandparents here in the U.S.!
world searches???
I'm not sure if this is the place to voice this, but what is the point of paying for a "world" access if there aren't any records that go beyond the US census and immigration records? My great grandparents never came to this country so there will be no record of them here. With my grandparents long gone, and great grands before my parents ever met, how can I search to even find out who they were? I have a town in Italy but am getting nowhere since the only records that seem to be available to us are US? While it has been fun to find out specifics about the previous generation or two, how do I go beyond the 19th century and delve deeper into the past (which is really what the site promises)?
Exactly! I am trying to find information about my Great grandparents who came to hawaii from korea and there is nothing past hawaii. There needs to be better if not more records or articles about hawaii!!!! seriously!
I'm trying to find my great grand who live in germany in the 1800. there name is reif. thank you l reif
I think that Ancestry.com needs to get records from Mexico and south America. Many of our ancestors went there first and stayed there for many generations. I cant find much past grand parents.
I am looking for any type of records of my great-great grandfather (b. 1855) who came to the US from Austria in 1969. All I have is that he showed up in New Jersey and was naturalized in 1878 and his life from there on, but cannot find how he came over to US. There are no passender records on him and I can't even find any records for Austria....any ideas? firstname.lastname@example.com
Worldwide Records needs more attention
I understand there is a Hungary census now. Us Worldwide members would like to see even more census materials from the European countries. Thanks! Donnam129
Searching for my ancestors has been difficult, especially the ones from foreign countries, but I would not have gotten as far as I have without Ancestry.com. It has taken a lot of years and patience. I am amazed at the volume of information you have gathered in the last few years. I hope everyone will be patient and realize that gathering the information from all these different countries will be a long and difficult task. After 30 years of searching (with limited resources) I can now fill several large binders with the information on my father's line. Five years ago I could only fill 2 pages. I also have many contacts with other relatives that I wouldn't have had if it hadn't been for Ancestry.com. Thank you, thank you. --weaverladyllj-- john heise

Miners' payout 'too slow'
The government has been told by the High Court to speed up compensation payments to former miners.
Solicitors acting for more than 100,000 men whose health was damaged by work underground said former miners were dying while they await "pitifully slow" compensation.
Less than one in seven miners eligible for payments has received compensation.
High Court judge Mr Justice Turner has ordered the Department of Trade and Industry to explain the delays.
Tom Jones, from Thompsons' solicitors said: "Men are dying while the government cannot get its act together to administer the scheme."
He said that just 19 out of 20,000 cases in the North East had been assessed.
'Highly complex'
A spokesman for the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said: "We have got to work out how to make his highly complex scheme work more quickly."
The compensation bill could total Ł4bn which would be the biggest industrial payout in UK history.
The DTI has been urged by solicitors to hand out interim payments while the process is examined.
The DTI spokesman admitted the compensation process was moving "slower than we would like".
More than 111,000 claims have been lodged so far but that figure is expected to rise above 200,000.

Leechburg paced by run game, defense
Leechburg posted an opening-night win the old-fashioned way — with a sound running game, strong defense and just enough big plays.
The Blue Devils defeated Wilkinsburg, 16-6, in the Class A Eastern Conference opener on Friday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Three big plays resulted in all 16 points for the Blue Devils. Offensively, the Blue Devils finished with 215 total yards.
With the Blue Devils (1-0) down 6-0 in the second quarter after Wilkinsburg (0-1) blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, sophomore Jordan Cominos recorded a safety, tackling the Tigers' punter in the end zone after a high snap.
The big plays continued for Leechburg, as senior Tyler Dubovi found senior Jacob Iellimo for a 39-yard touchdown pass on fourth down. Junior Nathan Booher missed the extra point.
Blue Devils head coach Mark George had no intentions of punting.
"We talked about it in the huddle during the timeout," George said. "We wanted to see if anyone would cover Iellimo. Either way we were going to throw it to him."
Dubovi finished 3 for 7 for 55 yards and a touchdown.
Iellimo caught three passes for 50 yards and one touchdown.
Junior Alex Kalmar capped the scoring with a 34-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Junior Joe Strellic's two-point conversion made it 16-6.
Kalmar finished with seven carries for 56 yards and one touchdown, while Strellic had 64 yards on 12 carries to be Leechburg's leading rusher for the night.
Defensively, Leechburg recorded three sacks and had a handful of tackles for a loss while surrendering 109 total yards to the Tigers.
"The defense played very well tonight," George said. "Wilkinsburg has a lot of speed. The defense did exactly what we wanted them to do."

The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) announced Wednesday that Chief Operating Officer Jim Mulhern will take over as president & Chief Executive Officer on Jan. 1, 2014.
Mulhern has been appointed by the NMPF Board of Directors to fill the position held by Jerry Kozak since 1997. Earlier this year, Kozak had informed the Board of his desire to retire on Dec. 31, 2013.
"We are very excited to have such a knowledgeable and capable leader at the head of our team in the coming years. The importance of experience cannot be underestimated in a complex industry like ours," said NMPF Chairman Randy Mooney, a dairy producer from Rogersville, Mo.
"Jim's impressive and extensive track record working on dairy issues made him the ideal choice to be the next President and CEO of NMPF."
Mulhern joined NMPF in January 2013, and since that time has managed the communications, government relations, and membership functions of the organization. His appointment as COO marked a return to NMPF; he had directed the organization's government relations program earlier in his career.
A Wisconsin native, Mulhern came to Washington, D.C., to work on Capitol Hill in 1983. Following his service at NMPF in the mid-1980s, he returned to Capitol Hill to serve as Chief of Staff for Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl. Mulhern also worked in senior management positions for Fleishman-Hillard, the Fratelli Group and Watson/Mulhern LLC. During this period, he maintained a close relationship with the dairy industry and NMPF by working as a consultant on numerous projects.
"I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to lead a membership organization that has meant so much to me throughout my career. I look forward to building further upon the relationships and successes of the past, but with a clear focus on addressing the challenges to dairy farming's future," said Mulhern.
NMPF also announced that after retiring as President and CEO Dec. 31st, Jerry Kozak will continue his involvement with the organization's Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) program, which provides export assistance to its member cooperatives. He will oversee CWT's program and administrative operations and will report directly to Mulhern.
"We are very pleased that Jerry will be available to help us manage the CWT program in the days ahead," said Mooney. "CWT has been a critical factor behind the phenomenal growth in American dairy exports over the past few years, and we appreciate that Jerry's commitment to its success will continue after this year."

THE simplest of driver errors, a mistaken split-second forward lurch into oncoming traffic, ended Trevor Robinson's life as he knew it.
- Runaway car and horse add to territory's bizarre road deaths
- Tough toll of dealing with accidents
- Telltale signs yield secrets to Prang Gang
He was riding his motorcycle home from work in 2008 when, just 500 metres from his house, a car driver didn't see him and pulled out onto Hindmarsh Drive.
Trevor remembers the next moments clearly. He remembers colliding with the car, fighting to stay conscious, and not-so-politely telling bystanders to leave his helmet on his battered head.
He was rushed to hospital with life threatening injuries and a broken spine.
The next 11 months were a blur of life support, hospital beds, specialist spinal rehabilitation programs, and the almost unbearable task of coming to grips with his paraplegia.
''They spent a lot of time poking my toes with needles and asking 'Can you feel that'?'' he said.
''I used to try and guess 'Oh yeah that's the second big toe on the left foot', whereas they were probably doing the little toe on the right foot.
''No one actually said it, but I think at some stage I came to the realisation that I couldn't feel.''
The loss of his legs forced the aircraft engineer to abandon his job as an airworthiness inspector with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
As he struggled with his new life, he went into a spiral of depression and endured recurring pain he describes as ''sheets of lightning'' running down his legs.
Now, despite a tattoo that reads 'Do not resuscitate', Trevor maintains a grim determination not to let his injuries destroy his life.
He returned to work at CASA, and has become a vocal advocate and lobbyist for the rights of people living with disabilities working with various groups, including the Disability Advisory Council.
''You tend to get worried about where your place is in society,'' he said.
''You're vulnerable, you're at the bottom, there's not a lot of people in wheelchairs that are working, you're constantly having to fight for wheelchairs or parking spaces, or bloody toilets or whatever else.''

Graduation/Transfer Requirements
Major Requirements
In addition to general education requirements, most students earning an AA/AS or BA/BS need to complete courses in their major. If you plan to earn both an associates degree and transfer, you may choose an AA Degree Liberal Arts and Sciences. While the major requirements for a LPC associates degree and a baccalaureate degree may be similar, rarely are they exactly the same.
Identifying major requirements can be very confusing. Counselors can help you locate and decide which classes to take. The best way to do this is to make an appointment to develop a Student Educational Plan.
NOTE: For impacted/selective majors or transfer schools, completing courses for your major is very important to gain admission.
AA/AS Major/Certificate Course Requirements:
The following PDF document will open in a new window. You will need to use the Acrobat Reader.
- LPC Majors
- LPC major course requirements are found in:
- LPC College Catalog (for sale in the campus bookstore)
- Informational f lyers in the Counseling Office lobby and in the Career/Transfer Center.
Transfer: Baccalaureate Degree Major Course Requirements
Major requirements for transfer majors/bachelors degrees can usually be found at one or more of the following:
- ASSIST lists many of the California State University (CSU) and University of California (UC) major requirements and the corresponding LPC courses (articulation agreements).
- Transfer college catalogs. Many are available in the Career/Transfer Center.
- Transfer college's websites.

A researcher is appealing for help to trace the history of this 'ghost sign' in Otley.
John Rymer is photographing and documenting old painted advertising signs on buildings across the country – and reckons this example on Boroughgate is "probably the best I have ever seen".
The sign is a full wall advert for cigarettes and tobacco, but Mr Rymer, from Saltburn by the Sea, has been struggling to find out anything more about its past.
He said: "I have a project to photograph and document ghost signs and, where possible, I try to post the history of the business as well as of the photograph.
"But an internet search drew a blank on this one, so that's where I wondered if Wharfedale & Aireborough Ob-server readers could help."
Anyone with inform-ation that could help is asked to send an e-mail to email@example.com or johnrymer@ntlworld.

The Last Quarrel: Episode 1
Duncan Lay
Gaelland is a nation gripped by fear.
In the country, fishing boats return with their crews mysteriously vanished while farms are left empty, their owners gone into the night, meals still on the table. In the cities, children disappear from the streets or even out of their own beds. The King tells his people that it is the work of selkies – mythical creatures who can turn from seals into men and back again – and witches. But no matter how many women he burns at the stake, the children are still being taken.
Fallon is a man who has always dreamed of being a hero. His wife Bridgit just wants to live in peace and quiet, and to escape the tragedies that have filled her life. His greatest wish and her worst nightmare are about to collide.
When an empty ship sails into their village, Fallon follows the trail to the truth behind the evil stalking their land. But it is a journey that will take them both into a dark, dark place and nobody can tell them where it might end …

Much like counting the rings on a tree, you an determine the age of a geek by whether or not their first home console had wood paneling. These days it's all molded plastic and metals and the like, which is cheaper though perhaps less interesting to look at.
Apparently console mod enthusiast Marshall Clark agrees – using various paint techniques, he's created an N64 that looks like it's made from wood. It's a pretty bloody convincing effect that looks fantastic.
Check out a video of Marshall's handiwork below.

Stone Roses guitar player Aziz Ibrahim is set to perform his unique Asian blues.
His latest album Rusholme Rock is inspired by the curry mile in Manchester and other places where he is from.
It is the first time Ibrahim has performed at the legendary venue the Putney Half Moon, which the songwriter said he is looking forward to.
Ibrahim has played guitar for the Stone Roses, post John Squire, and continues to write for Paul Weller and Ian Brown.
In his latest album the guitarist draws on his dual Pakistani and British heritage, performing alongside the punk rocker of tabla Dalbir Singh Rattan.
Paul Weller has dubbed the band "The White Stripes of Mumbai" and lists himself among their fans.
Ibrahim said: "All my music is affected by Manchester, it is not just some indie-schmindy.
"I want my music to be like the normal British music, it is just British music.
"I always judge gigs by the bar staff and the bouncers, if they are into it that is always encouragement."
Ibrahim, who hails from Longsight in Manchester lists Brixton Academy among his favourite venues to play and is looking forward to his début at The Half Moon.

Optimum two level fractional factorial plans for model identification and discrimination
Model identification and discrimination are two major statistical challenges. In this paper we consider a set of models for factorial experiments with the parameters representing the general mean, main effects, and only k out of all two-factor interactions. We consider the class of all fractional factorial plans with the same number of runs having the ability to identify all the models in , i.e., the full estimation capacity. The fractional factorial plans in with the full estimation capacity for k[greater-or-equal, slanted]2 are able to discriminate between models in for u[less-than-or-equals, slant]k*, where k*=(k/2) when k is even, k*=((k-1)/2) when k is odd. We obtain fractional factorial plans in satisfying the six optimality criterion functions AD, AT, AMCR, GD, GT, and GMCR for 2m factorial experiments when m=4 and 5. Both single stage and multi-stage (hierarchical) designs are given. Some results on estimation capacity of a fractional factorial plan for identifying models in are also given. Our designs D4.1 and D10 stand out in their performances relative to the designs given in Li and Nachtsheim [Model-robust factorial designs, Technometrics 42(4) (2000) 345-352.] for m=4 and 5 with respect to the criterion functions AD, AT, AMCR, GD, GT, and GMCR. Our design D4.2 stands out in its performance relative the Li-Nachtsheim design for m=4 with respect to the four criterion functions AT, AMCR, GT, and GMCR. However, the Li-Nachtsheim design for m=4 stands out in its performance relative to our design D4.2 with respect to the criterion functions AD and GD. Our design D14 does have the full estimation capacity for k=5 but the twelve run Li-Nachtsheim design does not have the full estimation capacity for k=5.

Sage-grouse habitat selection during winter in Alberta

AbstractGreater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are dependent on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) for food and shelter during winter, yet few studies have assessed winter habitat selection, particularly at scales applicable to conservation planning. Small changes to availability of winter habitats have caused drastic reductions in some sage-grouse populations. We modeled winter habitat selection by sage-grouse in Alberta, Canada, by using a resource selection function. Our purpose was to 1) generate a robust winter habitat-selection model for Alberta sage-grouse; 2) spatially depict habitat suitability in a Geographic Information System to identify areas with a high probability of selection and thus, conservation importance; and 3) assess the relative influence of human development, including oil and gas wells, in landscape models of winter habitat selection. Terrain and vegetation characteristics, sagebrush cover, anthropogenic landscape features, and energy development were important in top Akaike's Information Criterionselected models. During winter, sage-grouse selected dense sagebrush cover and homogenous less rugged areas, and avoided energy development and 2-track truck trails. Sage-grouse avoidance of energy development highlights the need for comprehensive management strategies that maintain suitable habitats across all seasons. ?? 2010 The Wildlife Society.

Peace activist, socialist organizer, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother. Born July 20, 1925, in Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford, Que., died March 24, 2012, in Toronto from complications following pneumonia, aged 86.
When a visiting evangelical minister unsuspectingly preached that Heaven was like Toronto's Massey Hall, with limited seating for early reservations, young Alice, no more than 10, spoke up to disagree: She didn't know Toronto or Massey Hall, but she knew her theology, and that the Kingdom of Heaven must have room for all.
Speaking truth to power was to become a lifelong habit. In 1950 she was honoured for her peace and labour organizing by being banned from the United States for four decades (which didn't stop her from travelling there for unauthorized political, religious and social visits).
Alice combined long-term goals such as heaven and socialism with short- and medium-term needs such as organizing supper, childcare and dishes through a kind of radical hospitality of stunning proportions (at times on a factory worker's wages).
She moved seven kids, two adults and a dog three times between 1966 and 1968, the last time during the final days of dad's first election campaign. She worked full-time outside the home as well, and found time somehow to volunteer for grassroots organizations. Just last fall, family and friends occupied our parents' retirement residence for 25 days in order to make sure they got the care and shelter to which they had right, in keeping with mum's tradition of radical hospitality.
Our home was never empty. At various times it included our grandmother, two uncles, long-time boarders, friends and partners of us kids, Student Christian Movement work-campers, farm-worker organizers, Vietnam War resisters, and others needing shelter.
In addition, we'd often wake up to find strangers camping informally on couches (our front door was never locked). Alice greeted everyone with her standard "what do you want for breakfast?" Those who appeared to be sleeping together with intent might get a matter-of-fact follow-up question about contraception.
Mummy loved lots of conversation, and before her hearing deteriorated she undertook to pass on the habit of taking part in two or three at once. If you couldn't keep up with her whirlwind of logical moral conclusions, she could slow down – momentarily. She called one Saturday morning to ask for the mail to be picked up for four weeks. Why? They were on the way to El Salvador. But, there's a civil war going on there – artillery barrages! Mum patiently explained: That's why we're going, and yes, please water the plants too.
Her radical hospitality scaled up from home to grassroots work at Toronto's Holy Trinity Church on behalf of the homeless, and to campaigning for affordable housing, jobs and peace. A lifelong pillar of the NDP, she was the indispensable adviser and comrade of her husband Don (Dan Heap) during his quarter-century in electoral politics.
Danny and David Heap are sons of Alice.Report Typo/Error

Baseball can be cruel. In the span of one day, Glendale Community College's Jason Ochart went from penthouse to basement.
After delivering the game-winning homer in the 10th inning to beat host Moorpark, 6-5, last Thursday, Ochart was the victim of a bad-hop triple by Kevin Jones in the top of the eighth inning Friday at Stengel Field that led to a 1-0 win for East Los Angeles in a Western State Conference Tournament game.
The frame began with Vaqueros' pitcher Joe Stephen retiring Martin Rodriguez on a liner, and Tony Andrade on a grounder.
Jones, a right-handed hitter, lashed a ball to right field as Ochart raced over to make the play. But the ball skidded on the grass, and Jones wound up at third base. Ricardo Arias drilled the first pitch – a high fastball – into center field, scoring Jones.
Facing reliever Jesse Silva, who entered in the eighth and picked up the save, GCC (2-1) sent six batters to the plate in the ninth, and loaded the bases.
"We had several scoring opportunities, but we didn't capitalize on them,'' said GCC Head Coach Chris Cicuto. "We haven't played that many games, but this is unacceptable."
Sako Chapjian was hit to begin the frame, and Ian Wilson forced him at second base. Michael Sherwin doubled to left, moving Wilson to third.
Thomas Cruz came in as a pinch runner for Sherwin (two hits), and Malachi Silva walked, with Enrique Osuna running for Silva.
Ruben Padilla fanned looking for the second out, and Mark Andrade did the same.
Silva was brilliant, striking out five, walking one, hitting one batter, and allowing one hit. If the Huskies (2-1) are going to succeed, it will be because of their pitching.
"It's still early in the season, but we have a pretty good pitching staff,'' said Head Coach James Hines before the contest. "We can score runs, but so far it's been pitching and defense."
ELAC had hits in the first four innings off Stephen, who started his first game and surrendered eight hits over nine innings, with two strikeouts, and three hit batters.
"Joe pitched a great game,'' said Cicuto. "He didn't throw a lot of pitches, and he was ahead on the count to most of the hitters."
With two out in the first, David Magallon doubled to left center, but Arnold Banuelos grounded out. In the second, Ryan Doeppel singled to center with one out, stole second, advanced to third on a grounder, but Rodriguez bounced to shortstop Padilla.
Tony Andrade led off the third inning with a single to right, before being picked off by Stephen. Magellan's single opened the fourth, but Banuelos hit into a force out.
GCC was held to four hits by David Arredondo, who earned the win after working seven innings with one strikeout and one walk. Chapjian had a lead-off single in the second, and a two-out hit in the sixth.

Connecting people and places
The Transport Portfolio isn't just about trains, buses, roads, boats and planes.
It's about people.
People who need to get to work, home and everywhere in between, and businesses that rely on road, rail, air and sea to deliver billions of dollars in goods and services each year.
An integrated and optimised transport network will give the Western Australian community more choice and improve the quality of our lives and our environment.
Since 2010, WA's three key transport agencies – The Public Transport Authority, the Department of Transport and Main Roads - have worked together to enhance the coordination of operations and develop unified policies and regulatory functions.
Each agency has different responsibilities and together we strive to provide world-class outcomes for our customers, all Western Australians (as well as visitors to our State), through integrated and intelligent transport systems and services.
The State Government's Transport @ 3.5 Million sets the vision for a generational change to Perth and Peel's transport network.
It provides a long term plan for transport infrastructure and considers how we can use the transport network more efficiently as the population approaches 3.5 million and beyond.
The plan looks at where people will live and work in the future and outlines a flexible transport system so that people and freight can keep moving as the city grows.
To view the plan and for more information visit: www.transport.wa.gov.au/transportplan
We all have things that we love about living in Perth.
These things are harder to enjoy as traffic and congestion increases.
The Transport portfolio is investing billions across a range of road, public transport, cycling and walking initiatives to help manage congestion and make it easier for everyone to get around.
But we need help from the community to help us to keep Perth moving.
Small changes from all of us will add up to make a big difference, whether that's:
There are things businesses can do as well; offering flexible working hours, providing staff with public transport passes instead of parking spots or offering workplace shower and change facilities.
The Smart Transport website is a central point of information providing the tips, tools and resources that will help you to identify the small changes you can make.
Smart Transport is set to improve the way we all get around and with your help, we can all travel a little better.
Customer-centric services
Ensuring the customer is at the centre of service delivery and decision-making.
Safe and integrated networks
Working together to better service demand.
Smarter optimisation
Making what we have work harder and better through innovation and technology.
Planning and prioritisation
Planning to meet the future needs of a growing state.
Investment and infrastructure
Continuing to invest to meet the needs of our growing State.
The Public Transport Authority
On the public transport front, we continually plan and follow through on WA's public transport priorities which have contributed to our system being recognised as the best in the country.
We are responsible for providing customer-focussed, safe and cost-effective passenger transport services such as:
Main Roads WA
Representing one of the world's most expansive road networks, Main Roads is committed to working cooperatively and productively across all levels of government, to ensure our road network meets the needs of the community, industry and stakeholders.

Hello all.
Just for a quick introduction, I've been in existential therapy for 2 years, and have visited 3 psychiatrists over the last year.
I've been diagnosed with a bipolar spectrum disorder and have been on Lamictal for about 3 months. It's helped me stabilize considerably. I've been also diagnosed with ADHD.
I'm realizing that I have some severe anxiety and will seek some sort of medication very soon with my psych. What I'm curious about is if anyone here has had a similar experience with what my head does all day. My therapist has detected some PTSD from previous relationships and work experiences (I'm extremely sensitive) and also believes there's a GAD going on.
Basically during every hour I'm awake my inner voice is constanly running, thinking of possibilities of what would happen if 'x'
happened, then the effect of 'y' etc. It goes on and on, never stops.
Another feature is the imagination of future conversations, like playing out words, or explaining my actions to others. These arent' 'voices' in schizophrenia, nobody is talking to me and I don't have any hallucinations, but just constant concern.
I also repeadtly play over fragments of a conversation I may have days, weeks, or months ago. When there's any frustration, stress, or anxiety (even the mildest confrontation) I keep playing it over. It's almost like some sort of PTSD.
The thoughts also constantly derail, going from subject to subject, frequently based on what I may be looking around me. Let's say I see a particular object like a car. I then pull some memory or conversation I have had with someone related to that car, then after the thoughts jump to something else.
I thought this may have been an ADHD issue and have been on Strattera for 3 weeks, but it hasn't stopped the thoughts or even kept them on one topic.
Initially I was on Zyprexa to treat the mood disorder since it had peaked pretty severly recently due to life stressors. I was on it for 6 weeks, then put on Lamictal. Even on the Zyprexa the thoughts didn't stop. I also tried Abilify to see if that would slow my mind down. It's not racing thoughts seen in hypomania/mania either. It's just always going. Like my inner voice is too loud and it gets worse when I have stressful situations going on at work for example.
I'm going to try and get some sort of anti-anxierty medication this week, and I have a good feeling that this may be a good fix.
Anyone have anything similar?
Thank you
