A great tip trick for those trying to conceive is to have intercourse in the morning. This is when your Seamen count is at it's very highest, and your ejaculations are their most powerful .
If you just make a few alterations to your life, you could make a huge change to your seamen numbers quickly. Not only that, your overall well being will be sure to improve, and your seamen will be far more healthy and active as a result.
Low Seamen Count Reason3
For some folks, it's their age and their make up that's the issue. The sad fact is, the older we get, the less testosterone our bodies churn out. Which, in turn will result in a reduced lower number of seamen. But, it's not just your age that could be the problem.
If there is a history of infertility, or low seamen counts in your family, you could be affected too. Reduced sperm numbers will sometimes be passed on, and if it's a common problem in your family, this could be the cause of your reduced count.
If this is the case, making a few alterations to your lifestyle can't help you out. But, there is something else that could might may do the trick… volume pills.
The cure to your low seamen count… Volume Pills
It doesn't matter what is causing your reduced sperm levels, volume pills could be the answer.
Making quick changes to your life will definitely help, but there's not a thing that will help to boost your seamen levels like volume pills.
Volume pills will naturally increase boost your bodies level of testosterone. And, the higher your testosterone level the better, as this will have an instant affect on the amount of seamen your body produces.
Not only will your seamen levels increase, but your seamen will be much stronger and healthy, and they'll be far more effective too. Perfect for those who are trying to get their partner pregnant.
More about Volume Pills
When it comes to volume pills, it's not just the increase in your seamen levels that you'll benefit from. The pills will also naturally boost your sexual appetite too, as well as making it much easier for your body to top up its semen levels after each ejaculation. This means you'll be able to go time and time again, without ever worrying about getting hard.
A lot of men who use volume pills to improve sperm numbers have also noticed that their sexual performance has benefited too. Volume pills make it much easier to get a rock hard erection that lasts and last, as well as more powerful ejaculations and more powerful orgasms. For many, this confidence boost increases not only theirs, but their partners sexual enjoyment too.

The Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight that happened on May 2nd was one of the biggest boxing events in history, not only for boxing fans, but also for the entire sports industry. For the first time, the online viewership smashed records for pay-per-view spending.
The PPV revenues are still being tallied, but they're expected to soar past 5 million, with ticket prices that shaped up at $100 in the US, £35 in the UK, $10 in the Caribbean and $56 in the Philippines (2500 Pesos).
However, there's far more that you can learn from the Maypac fight than just its obvious profitability. While powering a seamless geo-blocked PPV access for the Caribbean with our partners – Livestream and SportsmaxTV, we observed that:
1. The audience is ready for PPV – now!
Online access on mobiles and tablets is fast becoming the preferred 'on-the-go' way of digesting sports content among all age groups. Those sports aficionados who opt to witness the sports showdowns from the comfort of their homes are also ready to pay and watch PPV instead of a traditional TV broadcast.
2. Since the scalability is a daunting challenge for cable operators, on-demand services will thrive:
The cable companies missed their chance to convince their customers to pay-per-view content. Instead, many of them failed to deliver due to huge spikes in traffic. As a consequence, they had to deal with refunds to make up for the fallout from their disgruntled customers.
Devan Rosen, director of the emerging media program at Ithaca College summed it up aptly in the Boston Globe:
The fight showed people are willing to pay for what they want to watch, when they want to watch it, but the cable companies burned a lot of bridges. The winners are on-demand content providers, who've shown they can handle this kind of traffic.
3. Piracy threats are here to stay
The explosion in simple mobile-based streaming piracy threats is here to stay. Before the fight, HBO and Showtime announced they will take down all illegal streams. But, in fact, they couldn't do much when the thousands of free streams went up, including the Meerkat and Periscope. It's a shame, too, since investing in an advanced watermarking solution, such as Cleeng Tattoo, that allows for tracking back the illegal share could have prevented the problem.
Source: CNN.com
4. Social media – the paramount power of promotion
Despite the fact that this fight was announced widely in the public media, it didn't require an extra press tour, as is typical for most of the big boxing fights. Both fighters & their managers adroitly leveraged their social media fanbase to get the word out about the upcoming PPV several months before it happened. Twitter and Facebook also facilitated live chats during the fight, keeping the fans excited and thriving through the live emotions and tweets.
5. Live PPV stimulates a group viewing experience
If you take the aforementioned Periscope app, its popularity wasn't due solely to the fact that it offered free access to the streaming, but also because it reinforced the notion of being with other people in the same room who are all sharing the same source and level of excitement.
In the light of above considerations, the future of sports looks really exciting. We hope to see many more massive sporting events emerging as pay-per-view.

Morocco Jails 36 Rights Activists
Human Rights Watch Tuesday expressed dismay at the conviction and sentencing of 36 human rights activists in Morocco on charges of holding an illegal demonstration last December, said Panafrican News Agency (PANA).
The Rabat Court of First Instance handed down the guilty verdict Wednesday and sentenced each defendant to three months in prison and a fine of 3000 dirhams (about $300).
The defendants are expected to appeal and are provisionally at liberty, said PANA.
The men and women who were convicted are mostly members of the independent Moroccan Association for Human Rights (Association marocaine des droits de l'Homme, AMDH) it added.
On December 9, the eve of International Human Rights Day, they had attempted to stage a peaceful sit-in near the gates of parliament in downtown Rabat to demand that those responsible for torture and "disappearances" in Morocco be brought to justice.
According to the agency, the police broke up the gathering just as it got under way, pushing and beating the demonstrators as they hustled them into police wagons and placed them under arrest. Forty-two men and women spent the night in detention and thirty-six were later charged with staging an unauthorized gathering.
Three journalists were also arrested and released the same day, after materials were confiscated from them – Albawaba.com

Junior Merino, The Liquid Chef
Merino taps into his heritage with this cocktail. "My family makes a Ponche Navideno (Christmas Punch) which usually consists of rum, spices, Mexican local fruits such as nanches, tejocotes, cana and Mexican canela as well as panela (jaggery sugar) and juices," he said. The mixture, which is left to macerate overnight, can also be made with tequila. In Merino's take on the traditional punch, the bitterness of the beer contrasts with the complex notes of honey.
1 1/2 oz Chairman's Reserve Rum
3/4 oz buckwheat honey
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz fresh pink grapefruit juice
1/2 oz Cherry Heering
1 1/2 oz Poter Beer
Put all the ingredients, except the beer, in a shaker. The beer needs to be poured directly into a tall glass. Then add ice to the shaker, shake and pour into the glass. Merino suggests you rim the glass with his pasilla-cinnamon salt.

Swinhope was in the southeastern corner of Caistor Rural District and bordered by Thorganby parish on the north and Stainton le Vale on the southwest. It was also bordered by Binbrook parish in Louth Rural District on the south and by Wold Newton parish in Grimsby Rural District on the east. It continued as a civil parish until at least 1974 and is now a part of the West Lindsey District of Lincolnshire, England.
There is no article in Wikipedia, but the notes in GENUKI may be of use. The Binbrook Group of Parishes supplies a photograph of the church and a brief description.
Research Tips
Lincolnshire is very low-lying and land had to be drained for agriculture to be successful. The larger drainage channels, many of which are parallel to each other, became boundaries between parishes. Many parishes are long and thin for this reason.
There is much fenland in Lincolnshire, particularly in the Boston and Horncastle areas. Fenlands tended to be extraparochial before the mid 1850s, and although many sections were identified with names and given the title "civil parish", little information has been found about them. Many appear to be abolished in 1906, but the parish which adopts them is not given in A Vision of Britain through Time. Note the WR category Lincolnshire Fenland Settlements which is an attempt to organize them into one list.
From 1889 until 1974 Lincolnshire was divided into three administrative counties: Parts of Holland, Parts of Kesteven and Parts of Lindsey. These formal names do not fit with modern grammatical usage, but that is what they were, nonetheless. In 1974 the northern section of Lindsey, along with the East Riding of Yorkshire, became the short-lived county of Humberside. In 1996 Humberside was abolished and the area previously in Lincolnshire was made into the two "unitary authorities" of North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The remainder of Lincolnshire was divided into "non-metropolitan districts" or "district municipalities" in 1974. Towns, villages and parishes are all listed under Lincolnshire, but the present-day districts are also given so that places in this large county can more easily be located and linked to their wider neighbourhoods. See the WR placepage Lincolnshire, England and the smaller divisions for further explanation.

Sen. John McCain is renewing his call for imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya, saying he doesn't believe that would lead inevitably to U.S. troops on the ground.
The Arizona Republican tells CBS's "The Early Show" he understands weariness at home over U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. But McCain says the American people "are not prepared to watch ... one of the two or three worst despots in the world sit and slaughter innocent civilians."
McCain says "I don't think we should end up on the ground. I think it would be counterproductive for us to send in ground forces." He says that a no-fly zone is needed because Gadhafi has been able to use his air power to hold sway in Libya against untrained troops.

Kourtney Kardashian was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills with her boyfriend Scott Disick on Tuesday (December 2). The mom-to-be started out the day with a half hour massage followed by lunch with Scott. They then went to Barney's New York for some shopping followed by a doctor's appointment.
Scott recently talked about their plans to be together forever:
Neither one of us wants Kourtney to walk down the aisle while she's pregnant. We know we'll be together forever, so getting a legal document isn't the biggest deal in our life."
The couple are expecting their first child on the 23rd of this month.View Slideshow »»

Earthbound Farm is officially operating under new ownership, but business as usual is promised as the new owners at WhiteWave Foods Co. say they won't try to fix what's not broken.
"WhiteWave plans to operate Earthbound Farm as a separate business unit, based in San Juan Bautista, Calif. No significant operational changes are anticipated at Earthbound Farm as a result of the acquisition," according to a Jan. 3 news release from Denver-based WhiteWave.
Best known for its organic dairy, and dairy substitutes such as Silk-brand, WhiteWave produces and markets plant-based foods and beverages including Horizon Organic and Land O Lakes brands.
WhiteWave chairman and chief executive officer Gregg Engles said in the release that adding Earthbound's leafy greens and other organic produce products gives his company opportunities in the top two organic food gateways — produce and dairy.
The Denver company paid $600 million in cash for Earthbound Farm. WhiteWave borrowed $500 million via a 7-year loan to finance the acquisition.
When they announced the deal, WhiteWave officials said Earthbound's administration and employees will be retained for the foreseeable future.

What a concept in our crazy busy world...Time Alone? We all need it. Some avoid it. Others are purposeful about it. Many wish they could figure out how they could have it.
The Benefits of Time Alone:
Re-creation, Inspiration, Peace, Direction
Some signs that you may need some purposeful Time Alone.
Feelings of frustration, lack of direction, discouragement, depression, sickness, broken relationships, burnout, purposelessness.
Time Alone is a Spiritual Discipline (solitude):
Jesus took it: "he went up on a mountainside to pray."
Jesus invites us to: "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
Speaking of Elisha: "And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him."
Daily Time Alone Ideas:
Find a time in the day that works for you.
Find a private or special place in your home that you like.
Read, listen to music, exercise, take a walk, watch a sunset, pray
Schedule Time Alone:
Go hiking, fishing, hunting, golfing, to the spa, for a drive or ride on your bike. There are countless culturally acceptable hobbies and interests.
A day or weekend away - plan your time to some degree ... be purposeful.
Extended Time Alone:
Aboriginal Australians have the "Walkabout"
Modern sojourners go "Trekking" or on "Walking Tours"
I hitchhiked and rode freight trains when I was young
A purposeful approach can be a Short Term Missions trip serving others while processing things in your own heart, mind and spirit.
Some might find they need a longer period of time away.
Making Time Alone work with those you love:
If you are married you will need to talk and plan Time Alone. The loving thing to do is to recognize each others need and plan for each persons need to be met. That may mean rearranging your schedule in order to serve your spouse. Watch the kids, arrange for a sitter, plan something together. You may be saving your marriage. Mothers of young children will appreciate their husbands sensitivity to this need.
Some alone times don't have to be completely alone.
Enjoy a sunset, bike ride or take a drive with someone who can respect the moment.
Quotes about Time Alone:
We live in a very tense society. We are pulled apart... and we all need to learn how to pull ourselves together.... I think that at least part of the answer lies in solitude. ~Helen Hayes
The great omission in American life is solitude; not loneliness, for this is an alienation that thrives most in the midst of crowds, but that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit. ~Marya Mannes
No man should go through life without once experiencing healthy, even bored solitude in the wilderness, finding himself depending solely on himself and thereby learning his true and hidden strength. ~Jack Kerouac
Additional Resources:
Movies that address this topic:
Into the Wild
City Slickers
I am sure there are many others.
How do you manage Time Alone? How does it work with those you love? Can you think of resources that might be helpful to others?

Chip your tree and support a cause
The holiday season is over and now is the time to take the tinsel and decorations off the Christmas tree and haul it out for chipping.

Below, some of the tree chipping events happening in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody:
• The Kinsmen Club and 1st Kinsmen Scout Group are joining forces to host a tree chipping on Jan. 5 and 6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Percy Perry Stadium parking lot at Town Centre Park (off Pinetree Way);

Meanwhile, the city of Coquitlam will pick-up cut and bundled Christmas trees left at the curbside on scheduled collection days. Visit the municipal website at www.coquitlam.ca for details.
• The Parent Advisory Council at Cedar Drive elementary (3150 Cedar Dr.) will host a tree chipping on Jan. 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the school parking lot for a donation;
• The wood from trees chipped by the Port Coquitlam firefighters on Jan. 5 and 6 will be scattered on city trails and at parks.

• Port Moody firefighters will return Christmas trees to nature at firehall #1 (200 Ioco Rd.) while serving up coffee and hot cocoa and vacuuming up needs from vehicles, too.

Latest Interview
Page Howe did not start domaining in the mid-1990s like so many other mega-domainers who have sold domain names for millions. Instead, he started just when the market was crashing in 2001 by buying the assets of a dot-com burnout through eBay for $105,000. He later sold those assets for $1.8 million.
As a regular "Joe Domainer" – in fact, he named his domain name marketplace JoeDomains.com – Howe uses a very structured approach to successfully buy and sell domain names in the under $5,000 range. The entire interview is packed full of great tips, so be sure to grab a pen and pad of paper before watching this show.

Foreign Policy
Opinion: David Kenner, associate editor at Foreign Policy
What Russia gave Syria
"Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has had no better friend than Vladimir Putin's Russia," writes David Kenner. Russia has reportedly supplied Syria with everything from attack helicopters to landmines to bullets and shells. "Amid these developments, the news that Barack Obama and Putin agreed at the G-20 summit [last] week to support a political solution to the Syria conflict would seem almost, well, laughable – if the situation on the ground weren't so dire."
As the death toll in Syria rises, Russia and the United States remain on opposing sides of the conflict. The US says Assad must step down, while Russia has vetoed two UN Security Council resolutions on Syria and continues to provide controversial support.
And the support on the opposing sides of the Syrian conflict goes beyond simple diplomatic terms: According to The New York Times, CIA agents are steering arms to opposition groups in Syria, while Russia supplies Assad's regime with sophisticated weaponry.
Though Russia and the US do not agree on much in the case of the Syrian conflict, they do agree it's necessary to prevent the country from descending further into civil war. "With their respective governments working at cross purposes, however, it remains a mystery how they expect to accomplish even that limited goal."

|General Information
- "Men... You can't live with 'em, you can't kill 'em."
- ― Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is the pinnacle of Amazon godly perfection. Born on Paradise Island, she acts as the diplomat into the World of Man for her people. Her mission of peace usually involves beating the tar out of criminals with her fists and sword. She also uses her Lasso of Truth, Invisible Plane and Indestructible Bracelets to mete out justice as she sees fits. It's a cruel world, and you react accordingly.
Her sidekick is Wonder Girl... either that or her younger self. Also, her mom is sometimes Wonder Woman too.
Along with Superman and Batman, Wonder Woman is one of the most noticeable cornerstones of the DC Universe. Especially so that people can say "See, comic books are for girls too!" She's a member of the Justice League of America, where she receives critical acclaim.
Paradise IslandEdit
Wonder Woman isn't even actually real. Athena sculpted her from clay, or some bullshit. Because real women don't need birth. She was trained from the beginning to be the top warrior princess in town. She was brutally murdering mythical creatures with blunt objects while you were making pictures out of macaroni. However, her crippling inability to make pictures out of macaroni in her adult life would later come back to haunt her.
The vast majority of her time was spent learning how to tie people up. Yeah, we know, we reacted the same way, just accept it.
Finally, as by far the best of all women ever she was sent as the ambassador to the World of Man, where she would learn quickly to make negative judgments on cases of sexism in society based on the few horrible examples of chauvinism she would meet by chance very quickly.
Arriving in Man's WorldEdit
But the interesting part of Wonder Woman is when she comes to America and starts fighting the most dangerous criminal of all... sexual stereotypes and gender roles!
Of course, she quickly met a sexy pilot named Steve Trevor, who got kidnapped and taken hostage about as often as women do in regular comic books. Her best friend was a fat lady named Etta Candy. She doesn't really have a consistent city. Sometimes though, it's Washington, D.C..
- Wonder Woman's Bracelets aren't really that strong. Her wrists are just unshatterable, because of the workout they keep getting. Hey, stare all you want, but there are no men on Paradise Island.
- The Invisible Plane doesn't actually exist. Wonder Woman is just not aware that she knows how to fly.
- Yes, the guy who created her was into bondage. Hahahaha, that's so funny, shut up. Get all the giggles out. Go on. Get it out of your system. He was also a psychologist who helped pioneer the polygraph. Wanna talk about that? No? We didn't think so. Nobody ever wants to talk about that part.

MONTREAL (Nov. 24)
Jewish leaders here are attempting to change the name of a metro station that they say is named after a notorious racist and anti-Semite.
The Lionel Groulx metro station, one of the many entry points to Montreal's famed Underground City, is named for an abby and religious leader in Quebec who earlier this century spouted anti-Semitic diatribes during church sermons and in the pages of the French-language daily Le Devoir.
"Whatever Groulx's other accomplishments, he led and inspired a variety of nationalism that was ethnocentric, anti-Semitic and xenophobic," B'nai Brith Canada wrote in a letter to the executive committee of the Montreal Urban Community.
In 1901, Groulx founded the nationalist Catholic Action group.
Nearly a century later, Quebec is still riven by disputes over whether the province should separate from the rest of Canada.
The letter said Groulx's "brand of nationalism has little in common with civic or territorial nationalism proclaimed by today's younger adherents to Quebec nationalism, and they will hopefully understand the pain and anger of our community."
B'nai Brith recommended that the name of the station be changed to commemorate the late Cardinal Paul Emile Leger, a Quebec cleric "whose life work was committed to the underprivileged of all races and religions."

What's the maximum attention span of a baseball fan?
With our dear Editor-in-Chief leaving Baseball Prospectus for his next chapter, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite chapters of his career here. There's an incredible number of timeless Sam Miller articles to choose from, but we whittled it down enough to not break the internet. This article originally ran on July 15, 2013.
I feel like we've been dancing around this for a while. The Tweeters at AT&T Park. The probably dead A's fan. All of these people. It's pretty clear that loads of people attend baseball games but nobody actually watches baseball games.

Sam deconstructs a 12-page pamphlet that supports sending Juan Gonzalez to Cooperstown.
One of the strange things about praise is that it sometimes works in reverse. You tell me Muse is the best band in the world, and I'm compelled to dispute this craziness, and before I know it I find myself saying and thinking horribly mean things about Muse, even though Muse is perfectly fine, just not my cuppa tea.
And this is what I found myself feeling as I read Juan Gonzalez' Hall of Fame brochure. Yes, Juan Gonzalez has a Hall of Fame brochure. It is 12 pages, it is extremely glossy, it came in the mail, and in about 25 seconds I'm going to show it to you, because you should get to see what a Hall of Fame brochure looks like. But before I do, I want to say this: Juan Gonzalez was really, really good at baseball. He was way better at baseball than Chris Sabo and Mark Portugal and Bobby Higginson, and nobody is saying mean things about them today. Whereas I am quite likely to say mean things about Juan Gonzalez and about the brochure that is supposed to be helping him. I would say this means Juan Gonzalez' Hall of Fame brochure has failed. But let's consider it together. (Note: click on images to expand.)

Game of the Week kicks off the regular season with a look at the traditional Opening Day game in Cincinnati, as the Reds battle the Mets.
Barely a minute into the broadcast, Morgan is in playoff form. First he takes the Reds to task for batting Ken Griffey Jr. second, saying he should be a middle-of-the-order hitter with his ability. OK, fine. And then: "Griffey's due for some good luck...I think you'll see Griffey hit 40 or 50 home runs this year." Uh, the same guy who tears his hamstrings if he so much as contemplates the works of Kant, the same Griffey who hit 41 homers...in the last three years combined? If you squint really hard, you can see a fruit basket by Morgan's side in the press box, with the inscription: "The check's in the mail, Your Old Pal, Ken Griffey, Sr."

No late game heroics were needed from Amedeo Della Valle (see: Spain, Lithuania) to help get the Azzurri into the gold medal game in Tallinn.
Italy produced another masterpiece of their artful 'small-ball' on Saturday to defeat Russia 77-68 and earn the right to face Latvia in the gold-medal game of the Sportland U20 European Championship, in Tallinn.
TURNING POINT: Italy were going through a four-minute long dry spell, their only in the encounter, and Russia pushed ahead 43-42 with 5:20 left in the third quarter when Michele Ruzzier drilled a triple from eight meters out, returned to the other end, stole the ball and was fouled as he was darting down the court to Russia's basket, sinking both free throws to give Italy a 47-43 lead within 18 seconds.
Della Valle contributed 12 points, 5 rebounds, and a team-high 3 steals. ADV s'è desta!

For years, one of the most popular exhibits at Discovery Gateway: The Children's Museum of Utah, has been the authentic Life Flight helicopter perched atop the museum's 3rd floor terrace. The helicopter is in view to shoppers visiting The Gateway, and inspires kids of all ages to imagine piloting the helicopter on a lifesaving rescue mission. Donated by Intermountain Healthcare, the Life Flight helicopter has been the main attraction of the Saving Lives from the Sky exhibit, where kids could also learn how to prevent accidents and stay safe.

\r\n
\r\nOn September 21, the museum opened an expanded exhibit, with the construction of a mock Primary Children's Hospital Emergency Department, featuring interactive areas for triage, imaging, dress up, front desk/charge nurse and surgery where children can perform surgeries using custom-designed iPad apps.
\r\n

\r\n
\r\n"We believe it will give children a glimpse of what it is like to take care of people and save lives. And it may show children how exciting a career in healthcare can be," said Amy Pasmann, director of Emergency Services at Primary Children's Hospital.
\r\n

\r\n
\r\nThe new Saving Lives exhibit is a hands-on experience, with interactive opportunities for up to 40 children at one time. Kids can choose from the various roles necessary to take care of patients. They can do everything from coordinating a Life Flight launch, to caring for patients in a new interactive treatment area in the Life Flight helicopter, to using a gurney track to transport patients from the helicopter to the Primary Children's Emergency Department.
\r\n

\r\n
\r\nOnce inside the emergency department, kids can choose to play the role hospital emergency team member. Whether it's treating patients in the triage area, taking X-rays or a CT/MRI scan, tracking patient progress at the charge nurse station, or joining the surgical team to perform one of three surgeries via iPad apps, including skull, wrist, or leg fracture surgeries. The custom apps will guide children through the steps of performing these surgeries.
\r\n

\r\n
\r\n"This new exhibit is going to allow hundreds of thousands of visitors get a hands-on feeling for what it's like to be a helicopter pilot or a surgeon, leading them to a variety of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields as they grow and discover more about the world around them," explains museum CEO, Maria Farrington.
\r\n

Taking to the Water on Inle Lake in Myanmarwritten by bsmart on 2012-05-14 #places

Assessment of Services Provided to NCAA Division I Athletes: Development of a Model and Instrument
In the United States, student-athlete welfare was adopted as a basic principle by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1995 (NCAA, 2005). In addition, the NCAA required that Division I institutions provide academic programs and career/life skills programs as well as athletic skills programs. These directives have resulted in the development of a complex array of services for student-athletes. As no studies have assessed the full range of services now provided to student-athletes, the purpose of this study was to develop a Model for Assessment of Services in Intercollegiate Athletics (MASIA) with an accompanying survey instrument. A total of 422 student-athletes, the entire population of one NCAA Division I-A institution, were surveyed for the model tests. Results of the structural and measurement model tests suggest that the MASIA is a reasonable fit to the data and that the survey scale developed to test the model is psychometrically sound. Implications and limitations of this study are discussed.

Ron Avi Astor's social work career started out with a series of coincidences.
While a Master of Social Work student at USC in the 1980s, Astor, now the Richard M. and Ann L. Thor Professor of Urban Social Development at the USC School of Social Work, discovered that his father had also attended the school – by coming across his thesis while performing research in a USC library. His father, who died of a heart attack when Astor was just a small child, wrote his thesis on the impact of wives whose husbands had been hospitalized due to cardiac illness. And his father and Richard Thor, the benefactor of the professorship Astor holds, were classmates.
But Astor's accomplishments are certainly not the result of matters of chance. Over the last three decades, he has worked tirelessly to become an internationally renowned expert in school violence and safety. For his work, which has helped millions of students, teachers, parents and school administrators, the California Social Welfare Archives presented Astor with the George D. Nickel Award for Outstanding Professional Services by a Social Worker on April 2 at the USC Galen Center.
"Imagine all the events he has helped prevent, all the lives that have been saved and all the kids who have not been bullied because of his work," said Executive Vice Dean R. Paul Maiden, who presented the award.
Astor's work examines the role of the physical, social-organizational and cultural contexts in schools related to different kinds of school violence.
Over the past 10 years, his findings have been published in more than 150 scholarly manuscripts. His book, School Violence in Context: Culture, Neighborhood, Family, School, and Gender, has been described by leading scholars in psychology, social work and education as the most comprehensive theoretically and empirically sound study of school violence conducted to date. The American Psychological Association recognized the contribution of the book with the William James Book Award in 2006, followed by the American Educational Research Association's (AERA) Outstanding Book Award in 2007. In 2010, he received an honorary doctorate from Hebrew Union College based on this work. And in 2012, Astor was named an AERA fellow, a prestigious title that has been given to fewer than 500 education scholars nationwide.
Astor has also developed a school mapping and local monitoring procedure that has received several international awards. The procedure is now used in schools across the globe, including Los Angeles and Tel Aviv, Israel, with students and teachers generating grassroots solutions to safety problems.
"The homegrown practices are really important for us. We believe that there are social workers, teachers and principals who have really good ideas, maybe even better than ours at the university system," he said in his keynote speech.
Astor also served as co-chair of a national blue ribbon bullying task force that produced a series of 11 briefs titled Prevention of Bullying in Schools, Colleges and Universities, which present short-term and long-term strategies to address bullying of children and youth. The researchers contend that the term "bullying" is being overused and applied to everything from eye-rolling to criminal behavior. Astor and his colleagues urge school and college administrators to use the term "victimization" instead, among other recommendations.
Now Astor is applying knowledge gained from these prior studies to improve school climate in military-connected schools. As principal investigator, Astor and his colleagues are leading a Department of Defense Educational Activity funded-research partnership with eight Southern California school districts. The Building Capacity in Military-Connected Schools project has been working to create a national prototype for sustainable infrastructures that empower staff, students and parents to use evidence to improve school climate and address military students' special needs. The project has called upon the help of USC MSW students, some of whom perform their field internships with the collaborative's schools, incorporating hands-on learning experiences for those interested in practicing military social work, an area of emphasis for the USC School of Social Work.
"Ron is what I call a lifer. He was born into USC," said Executive Vice Dean R. Paul Maiden, who also noted that he wasn't able to read Astor's father's thesis because it had been checked out since 1986 – to Astor.
"When you realize your time is limited, then every day and every life that you can help become precious. At the end of the day, why we're here matters," Astor said. "That's why I keep that thesis, too."
Two other leaders in social welfare also were recognized for their contributions at the awards ceremony.
Areta Crowell, former director of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, received the George D. Nickel Award for Outstanding Contributions to Social Welfare, which was presented by Marvin Southard, the current director of the department.
Crowell worked her way up in the Department of Mental Health from humble beginnings as a research analyst in 1967 to retiring as director in 1998. She also served as director of San Diego County Mental Health Services from 1988 to 1992, when a mental health outreach and treatment center in San Diego was named the Areta Crowell Center in her honor. She has held leadership positions in numerous mental health service organizations, including the State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) known in California as Healthy Families, Mental Health America of Los Angeles, Mental Health Association of California, National Mental Health Association, California Institute for Mental Health, California Mental Health Directors' Association, California Mental Health Coalition and California Psychological Association Foundation.
Long-time educator Jean Daniels won the Frances Lomas Feldman Excellence in Education Award, which was presented by Amy Levin, PhD department chair of the Department of Social Work at California State University, Northridge.
Daniels has taught sociology and social work for nearly 40 years. She developed the Master of Social Work program at California State University, Northridge, and was one of the first African-American women to be part of the faculty in the university's sociology department. Daniels began her career in education as a part-time lecturer in 1976, working her way to full professor of sociology in 1987 and social work in 2006. She also served as director of the university's Center for Education and Research in Gerontology for 20 years. Daniels has been part of the Committee on Leadership Identification for multiple regions of the California Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, as well as an executive committee member of the NASW-Region G San Fernando Valley Unit, which recognized her contributions to the social work profession by naming her Social Worker of the Year in 2002.
Established in 1979, the California Social Welfare Archives maintains one of the most extensive and complete collections of California social welfare history. The volunteer-based group of social workers, librarians, archivists and other community leaders collects, preserves and makes available historically significant information that documents the emergence of social problems and the development of social welfare answers in California. The organization conducts its activities under the auspices of the USC School of Social Work, with its collections housed in the university library's Department of Special Collections located in Doheny Memorial Library.

ULM, Germany (Jul. 1)
A widely-used and frequently successful claim by defendants in Nazi war crimes trials that they had to obey orders from superiors to slaughter Jews was challenged today by the testimony of a former German district commissar at the trial here of 10 former SS and Gestapo members.
Hans Gewetke testified that in 1942 he not only defied an SS leader who said he had been instructed to liquidate the ghetto in the Lithuanian town of Sthaulem, but also that his resistance to the murder of the Jews had caused him no difficulties whatever in his job.
Gewetke testified that he told the SS leader "if you touch but one Jew in the ghetto, I will arm my police and the Lithuanian partisans to fight against you." The defendants in the Einsatz Commando trial are accused of the killing of more than 5,000 victims.
Asserting that his superior Reich commissar had, on his request, prevented the murder of thousands of Jews, Gewetke testified that he had reported to SS headquarters, after his warning to the local SS leader, that the Jews of Sthaulem were urgently needed to work in a local leather factory supplying the German army. He said the fate of the Sthaulem Jews remained undecided until they were taken to Germany in 1944.

PRSRT. STD U.S. Postage ??? POPLAR, MT 59255 PERMIT NO, 6 Vol. 38 No. 22 off�otel oxi�o* of tL* f^wb P&eL A�>U*uIg�+u> a*JL <S�cu#, �Fbutt�> By Lisa Perry Wotanin Editor Due to the Memorial Day holiday on May 28, the Fort Peck Tribal Executive Board full board meeting was moved to last Friday, May 25, 2007. Every meeting, a different member of the tribal council has the opportunity to invite a local pastor of minister to say the opening prayer before the meeting starts. At last week's meeting, Lay Pastor and tribal veteran Harold "Buddy" Adams, along with Daniel McKay, 18, spoke about the Word of God and .gave encouragement to the council as well as members of the audience. McKay was invited to stand beside Fort Peck Tribal Chairman John Morales Jr. to say the opening prayer. After the prayer, Adams said the tribes can abolish alcohol on 'the reservation to make life better, that way people will start coming back to church. "Years ago there was only 2 police officers that took care of the whole reservation. And today, you have 30-40 police officers and there still are more crimes and the alcohol is worse thing on the reservation," he stated. McKay, said the people need help, they need someone. They need Jesus. "That's what their looking for," he said, adding that it is so strong to break alcohol, but Jesus is stronger. "They are looking for the love back. The peace, the joy and the happiness." Chairman Morales asked Daniel how can the tribes better reach the youth. McKay said by prayer, by going out to the streets, and talking to them and inviting them to church. "The people are using, even the little kids and teens," he said. Councilman Darryl Red Eagle thanked Daniel for coming to the council to pray. "The way out is God, and with your understanding it will bring light," he said. Daniel's mother Phoebe McKay, said, before people use to run from Daniel, when they tried to pray for him, now they are coming to him, asking him for prayers. She said, her son has also been asked to start coming to speak to the students at the Brockton Schools. Since he was born, she said, he has had a total of 28 surgeries, survived a heart attack, being blind, but they give all the glory . to God. In tears, she said, she is crying because she is happy that her son is part of God's army. Councilman Abe Chopper said he goes to church with Daniel and his prayer requests all the time, after every service is for the people on the street. "He is A welcome home dinner and honoring was held last Friday, May 25 at the Poplar Culture Center for Sgt. Art St. Germaine from the U.S. Air Force. The Ft. Peck Warrior Society was on hand, as well as many others, who helped out. Around 14 veteran's formed a circle around the soldier, as John Morsette smudge and prayed over him. The family of St. Germaine feed everyone and gave away gifts after the ceremonies were complete. - For more photos see Page 3 - (Lisa Perry photo) here today because of the power of prayer." Cou ncilman Leonard Crow Belt also thanked Daniel for coming and said he always has a handshake and a hug for everyone. Councilman Marvin Youpee said the best thing to do is let the Lord be reflected. Fort Peck Tribal Vice Chairwoman Roxanne Gourneau said she thinks what is really special is the combination shared there that day and that some people feel that they are not worthy to be loved. "Your mother has been blessed with you and has been given a gift." Councilman Arlyn Headdress said after sitting and listening to all that has been shared that it truly touches them. Daniel is a very special young man, he said. "With all your trials and tribulations. Only you can bring the young people back. You need to help us," he said. Councilman Ray K. Eder reminisced about when he was in the hospital the same time as Daniel and how he went to other patients rooms to pray for them. Councilman Stoney Anketell said he enjoyed witnessing their faith and that it is truly a blessing. Morales said he challenges the rest of the TEB to go out and invite at least one person to church. "They say a child will lead us," he said. Myrna Greufe, council minutes clerk, said they are not afraid to talk about God's love and the miracle power of healing. "It is such an encouragement. God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. And Phoebe is an example of a mother's faith and love," she said. Adams said he wanted to leave the council with a few words of thought. He said there are 4 things an Indian can't do, and that is 1.) They can't say I love you to their own family or friends; 2.) They can't say, I am sorry; 3.) They can't admit they need help or ask for it; 4.) They can't ask for forgiveness. IHS Report Julie Bemer, IHS Service Unit Director presented her oral report to the council. She first spoke of the recent deployment of psychologist Dr. Wyatt. Youpee said, thanks to the efforts of members of the TEB and the MT-Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council, he may be able to come back to IHS instead of being deployed. Youpee also stated he was disappointed in Bemer,.who did nothing to try and keep Dr. Wyatt here. "There was an outcry from the community and his patients. You need to fight with us for every possible dollar to retain the people (IHS doctors)," he said, adding that this is th� 14th doctor they have wanted to stay here. "You have to join in the fight we have with the area office and the regional office," he said. Morales thanked James Melbourne, who drove the issue home, as well as Rick Kirn, Red Eagle, Headdress, Walter Clark and Chopper, who showed the support with great force at the regional office to keep Wyatt at Ft. Peck. "Out goal is to get off Level 12 and we need the doctor's here because of the number of suicides," stated Morales. Councilman Frank Smith thanked everyone who worked on retaining Dr. Wyatt and said he wished the issue was brought to them before the train started rolling, as it would have been easier to stop. Bemer said she was given a month's notice and that for the record she did provide the information to the area office about the level of need to keep Dr. Wyatt here. "The tribes have more weight than anything," she said. Red Eagle said the Brockton Schools are requesting $10,000 for a clinical psychologist but are having problems recruiting one. The outcome of the recent Contract Health Services meeting will bring Pete Conway from the area office here on June 19, 2007 to see what IHS can do and the way the CHS provide services and the level of need. The TEB was invited to the meeting to be held in the conference room at 9 a.m. Chronic Pain Management Contract Bemer also spoke about the Chronic Pain Management Contract. She said IHS asks patients who need pain meds longer than 2 weeks to sign the contract, but that it's the May 31,2007 responsibility of the patients to abide by the contract. Red Eagle mentioned a friend he grew up with who was recently in pretty bad shape as far as pain. He went to IHS and was given some pain reliever, but that it wasn't helping him, so he went to the hospital emergency room and they basically gave him nothing because they heard that he was just complaining to get more pain meds. "Now he has been flown to Billings, and ended up in the ICU for several days because his spine became infected. Now it is costing us more money based on this policy," he said. Red Eagle said now he will be in rehab and it is costing us a lot money just because of hearsay. I want to know how this came about to justify not giving him medicine or having this person referred out. This concerns me, he said. Morales said his family comes in every 3-4 days for help. "Those are not fake tears." He stated there is only $14,000 left in the medical travel budget and they give out $160 to go to Billings. "For a person with no money, that is all the money in the world to them to spend time with their family when they are ill," stated Morales. Bemer said when the get information like this what they generally do is view the case for quality of care or find out where did it go wrong. She also mentioned that there have been an increase in the number of Tort claims filed by patients from Ft. Peck. She said Tort claims are basically lawsuits against the government for injuries or damages to the patient, and is paid out in the form of TEB - Page 2 I Memorial Day services were held at 9:30 a.m. at the Tribal Veteran's Memorial Park in Poplar on Monday, May 28. Post #61, Brockton were on hand, as well as Tatanka Oyate, who rendered the honoring song. Pictured are singers l-r: Tom Escarcega. Chuck Spotted Bird, and Dawson Fire Moon.

Pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal Wearing Plaid at Four Seasons
Jake Gyllenhaal Takes His Hot Self to a Hotel
Jake Gyllenhaal arrived at the Four Seasons in LA this morning. He was wearing plaid after a similarly casual outing last week where he ran into a studio to take care of some business. Jake's getting back to work on the West Coast following a stint in NYC to spend time with family and friends. His newest project, Source Code, doesn't hit the big screen until April, but you can see the actor in action even sooner when Love and Other Drugs comes out on DVD March 1. Jake's movie with Anne Hathaway hasn't taken home any statues during award season, but his costar will be front and center at the Oscars, which she's hosting alongside James Franco. Gear up for Sunday's big show by taking a look back at some of the most iconic moments — including an appearance by Jake and his sister Maggie last year!

Backing up the Security Network IPS sensor
Technote (FAQ)
What are the instructions to back up your Security Network IPS (GX) sensor?
Important: When performing administration tasks via ssh or local console, configuration changes made to your IBM appliance by any user other than admin could degrade appliance performance. Installing or activating other services or applications may also impact appliance performance or security. IBM Infrastructure Security Support will not support configuration changes made using the root user account unless specifically directed by a support engineer or IBM documentation. The following DCF Technote content is supported. Any further changes made that are not included in this document will place your product into an unsupported state and IBM product support may require you to reimage your appliance to restore it to a supported state.
There is a built-in method provided with the GX sensor that allows you to backup the appliance. This is accessible via the 'admin menu' by logging into the appliance with the admin account via SSH or console connection. Be aware that only one full system backup can be kept locally on the device. Running a system backup will overwrite any previous full system backups.
- It is a good practice to make a backup of the system settings after each firmware upgrade or after applying any IBM directed patch so the most current backup is available, if needed.
- You might want to consider cleaning up some of the excess log files that may no longer be required. This is not required but may help reduce the size of the backup files. Below is a list of some things which you may consider removing prior to backing up:
- Old messages files (the current day's file will be messages while previous days will have a number appended to them, such as messages.1) - located in /cache/log/.
- Old capture files that are no longer needed - from the web interface, go to Review Analysis and Diagnostics > Downloads > Logs and Packet Captures. Under the Log Evidence and Rolling Packet Capture tabs, you can click the Delete button at the bottom to delete all the files located in that tab.
- Any firmware update packages - located in /cache/spool/updates/.
- Old ProvInfo support files that are no longer required - located in /cache/support/.
Creating a full system backup
- Log in to the sensor using the admin account via SSH or console connection.
- From the Configuration Menu, select Appliance Management.
- In the Appliance Management Menu, select Backup Current Configuration. You will then receive the following warning:
This will write all configuration settings to a backup
partition on the appliance. You will not have remote access
to the appliance for approximately 5 minutes while the
backup process completes.
The appliance will be rebooted.
Would you like to proceed with the backup?
- When you select OK, the appliance will be brought down during the backup. This will result in a brief network outage during the reboots of the appliance. Schedule accordingly for this.
- (Optional) To move the backup to a remote location, use a secure copy program (such as WinSCP) to copy the following files from the /restore/0/images/.
Restoring a backup from a remote system
Note: If the files are already present on the system, start with step 3.
- Copy the files specified below from the remote location to the /restore/0/images/ directory using a secure copy program. You must use the root account when using secure copy. Do not overwrite the files grub.cmd and partimage.
- Reboot the device.
- At the login prompt, log on to the device use the admin credentials.
- From the Configuration Menu, select Appliance Management.
- From the Appliance Management Menu, select Restore Configuration From Backup. You will then receive the following warning:
Appliance will be restored from the system backup dated:
YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS (date when backup was completed)
You will not have remote access to the appliance approximately
for 5 minutes while restore operation completes.
Would you like to proceed with restore?
- Select OK at the confirmation screen to proceed with the restore process.
- The appliance will automatically reboot to begin the restore process.
- The appliance will reboot again after the restore process has completed.

The number managed to beat analyst expectations and caused the stock to move high as a result. BlackBerry tried to emphasize the positives of cost cutting and lower inventory, but consumers are not buying the new BlackBerry 10 phone as much as the old BlackBerry 7 device. Profit breakeven isn't expected until 2015.

Charlize Theron talks about juggling life as a single mother and having a rough childhood to Britain's The Sun. On raising 6-month-old Jackson – she admits she gets little sleep.
She says, "I've never felt more creative and with more energy but on the tiniest amount of sleep. I never knew I needed that little sleep. I always had eight hours and now it's, 'Wow, OK, you can function on just four'. But Jackson is great. I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work."
The 36-year-old adds, "I feel very blessed that I have this job but my job is not my life. I'm really lucky that I get to go and do this but my life is pretty kick-ass and I take real priority in that."
As a child in South Africa Charlize said it was a "devastating" experience.
My early childhood was quite devastating. I had no teeth until I was 11. I had these fangs because I had jaundice when I was a kid and I was put on so many antibiotics that my teeth rotted. They had to cut them out. So I never had milk teeth. That was tough, you know, being in school having photos taken while I was pretending I had teeth. It was hideous."
The Snow White And The Huntsman star also endured the trauma of having her mother Gerda shoot dead her alcoholic father in self-defense when she was fifteen. Her experiences have made her have an honest outlook on life.
The actress says, "You know, girls don't wake up with lip gloss on. And I don't ever think about it as ugly versus pretty. There's a lot of movie people out there that I can't relate to. Sometimes when I go to the movies I watch those people and I don't know them, I didn't grow up with them, they're not my friends, they're not me."

As a coast girl living in the desert, I didn't mind the rain but our garden certainly suffered a bit for it. So now everything seems to have perked up. What you have in mind sounds good; we may do the same.

...Sweet. That was a very interesting backstory. It made perfect sense in context of both canons and the main fanfic plotline so far. My only complaint...is the lack of updates on said main fanfic. Any chance of that changing? I don't care that the Harry Potter canon has ended. Your plotline deserves to be continued anyways. Please?

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering how James, as a full-blooded Saiyan, managed to procure magical abilities. So, Saiyans can do magic, too, eh? Interesting. I wonder, how would the Saiyan society, in which status is almost exclusively based on physical and combative prowess, would deal with the magically-inclined members of the population?
(As I believe you implied with Bardock's confusion over how he, a mere scientist, was granted access to medical facilities, scientist Saiyans get pretty much no respect unless they're big-shots, or also fighters. So non-combative Saiyans DO in fact exist, though not in large quantities. Will this stand true for Saiyan wizards?
Secondly, I wonder if James ever found out about his heritage. But that, I hope, will be revealed in-story, so I won't worry too much about it. _
Thirdly - more on the lighter side of things - I wonder what Vegeta's reaction to being called a "Muggle" would be? *giggle*
