UGA wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie has been accused of making a terroristic threat towards a female, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police Department incident report obtained by the Red & Black.
In addition, the incident reports lists four Georgia Bulldogs football players as witnesses: safety Dominick Sanders, wide receiver Terry Godwin, linebacker D'Andre Walker, and safety Jarvis Wilson.
None of the players have been arrested or charged with a crime at this point. Only Isaiah McKenzie has been accused of making "terroristic threats or acts."
According to the report, Maya Labat said that Isaiah McKenzie "said he was going to call some friends and they were going to come out and he was going to kill her."
The incident occurred Monday, Sept. 28 at 10:40pm at a Chili's on Alps Road in Athens.
The Red & Black reached out to UGA athletics director Greg McGarity who said that, when more is known, head coach Mark Richt would comment if necessary.
Stay tuned for more details. At this point, it seems like McKenzie is the only player facing possible discipline. That could be internal punishment or worse.

I'm hoping that I'm just doing something wrong here because I can't update many of my websites to 2.4 because they just don't have enough storage space.
From the previous version, I understand that jsparty is moved in to the sapphire folder... in the last version the jsparty folder was ~15MB. Sapphire was 5.6. Now under 2.4 Sapphire weighs a whopping 28.7MB so something is getting bigger, with the whole install coming to 32.3MB.
My themes, custom code and plugins etc come in at around 1.5MB.
With a lot of the servers my clients use, there's only 50MB of space available which means I've only got 16MB to squeeze all their documents in there too.
Is there any way to lighten the Sapphire folder? I mean >15MB of javascript just seems a little bit much...

The "most perfectly formed" University of Chicago woman was expected to do more than cultivate personal interests and achieve academic success. University administrators believed female students should become strong in body as well as in mind. Thus, every incoming student was examined by a college physician and enrolled in a sex-specific physical education course. Women students chose from such offerings as swimming, tennis, archery, volleyball, golf and gymnastics.
Athletic activities provided more than physical benefits, according to Gertrude Dudley, the first Director of Women's Athletics at Chicago. Dudley argued that sports were just as important to women's maturation and development of cooperative and competitive instincts as were social clubs and academic societies. She worked with Amos Alonzo Stagg throughout the University's founding decades to establish strong intramural and intercollegiate sports teams and tournaments. To help organize these events, the Women's Athletic Association (WAA) was formed at the turn of the century. All women students could join the WAA, earning membership points through competitive sports or independent exercise as hiking or skating. The WAA was among the largest and most active women's organizations on campus.
In the early 1930s, Stagg and Dudley fought other administrators' decisions to eliminate required physical education from the undergraduate curriculum. Young women did not come to college knowing how to play many sports, they argued, and they needed gym class to teach them the benefits of exercise. Indeed, when gym class became voluntary, women's attendance declined by sixty-three percent. Thereupon, while maintaining its support of women's intercollegiate athletics, the WAA increasingly organized intramurals and emphasized the social aspects of sports for female undergraduates.

Dallas • Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks Eric Crouch, Danny Wuerffel, Vinny Testaverde and Ty Detmer are among first-time candidates on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot this year.
The National Football Foundation mailed ballots with the names of 76 former players and eight coaches to its 12,000 members and current Hall of Famers this week.
After votes are counted, the NFF's 14-member honors court chooses a class of about 15 players and coaches to be inducted. Testaverde won the Heisman for Miami in 1986. Detmer won the Heisman for BYU in 1990. Wuerffel was Florida's second Heisman winner in 1996. Crouch became the third Nebraska player to win the Heisman in 2001.

Plymouth State University efforts to engage international recruitment partners around the globe are focused on ethics, quality, and reputation. A United States Consulate public affairs officer in Shanghai advised a group from American universities, "Be sure you know your partners. Your institution is only as ethical as the least ethical partner you have, your quality is only as good as your worst quality partner, and your reputation is only as good as your least reputable partner."
Following that advice, PSU is pleased to announce our partnership with United Education and Investments (UEI), and the opening of our PSU China Office in Chengdu, China. United Education Investments professionals have offices in both the U.S. and China, and more than a century of combined experience of dedicated commitment to their students.
In the accompanying photo, from left to right, U.S. Consulate General, Chengdu Education Specialist Lily Li and Chief Consular Officer Gregory Marcus pause for a picture with PSU China Office Executive Director Dan Plaut and Vice Executive Director, Misha Cao during a joint presentation on U.S. higher education and student visa policies. Such activity is emblematic of what Dan, Misha, and the UEI team do in support of PSU.
Following last October's visit to Plymouth, Dan and Misha said of PSU, "Our time there, most especially our interaction with you all, did nothing but augment our previous belief that PSU is a very special place … and thus an institution with which we would very much like to be, and look forward to, working with very closely.
Dan and Misha will visit Plymouth again this spring, working with faculty and staff to advance plans for the development of PSU partnerships with Chinese high schools and universities; utilizing long-term, integrated or short-term, intensive U.S. higher education preparation programs, including programs for Chinese students pursuing 2+2, 3+1 and other joint-degree programs.
Our PSU China Office is already engaged in the development of promotion campaigns to recruit and screen prospective Chinese students for study here in Plymouth. United Education Investments is one of 16 formal international recruiting partnerships developed through the PSU Admission Office over the past 15 months, and is unique among them in establishing a Plymouth State University office abroad.

|Dave Morales led this back in 1998-99 for what can be presumed was the first ascent. Stevie Haston was primping the adjacent route on toprope for a BBC camera crew while Dave was in the bottom racking up. He indeed was wearing cutoff sweatpants over his tights and and a Star Trek t-shirt. He stepped up and styled the route, starting on the steep blunt arete hammering a fixed pin to protect the start then placing gear on lead on-sight while the 'pros' heckled him from the lower bridge for climbing with an 'Indian Creek' rack. Whether or not Dave did the first ascent of Hardline and/or Harderline, I know he led both of those routes on gear in '98 as well. I was there, as was my buddy Dan Scott who belayed him on Super Dave. Dave Morales is a JEDI. Incidentally, having never been to Indian Creek before, he, on his drive out from Seattle, detoured to on-sight free solo Incredible Hand Crack. Then he downclimbed it. No witnesses, but having climbed a lot with Dave that winter, I have no reason to doubt it.... Anyway, some random obscure trivia.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 21)
Circles close to Prime Minister-designate David Ben Gurion indicated today that he may abandon the task of forming a coalition government for Israel if he does not succeed in getting a workable coalition Cabinet within the next week or two in that event it was stated, Moshe Sharett, who now heads the caretaker government will empowered by President Itzhak Ben Zvi to form a Cabinet
Mr. Ben Gurion began today the second round of negotiations with the various parties on the subject of the coalition This time the talks are not of an exploratory nature but are rather, concerned with such practical matters as the number of Cabinet members each party would have and the distribution of portfolios among them. Achdut Avodah was the first party he saw today followed by the General Zionist representatives. His schedule calls for consultations with the Progressives tonight; Mizrachi-Hapoel Hamizrachi and Mapam tomorrow and Agudah-Poale Agudah, Tuesday. It is likely that Mr. Ben Gurion will report on the progress of his talks when he addresses the central committee of Mapai tomorrow nigh.
A General Zionist source revealed that its representatives would refuse to enter the Cabinet under "present conditions," The source did not specify what other conditions would make entrance into the Cabinet acceptable to the centrist group. It was also understood that the Poalei Mizrachi representatives were not anxious to have Mapam partners in any Cabinet they might join. On the other hand, it was reported that Achdut Avoclah was prepared to enter the Cabinet, provided that it received the communications portfolio and the post of Vice-Minister of Defense. The latter post would be assigned by the party to Yigal Alon, party leader and one-time commander of Palmach.

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Franklin Graham's Decision America prayer tour rolled into Denver Tuesday.
About 10,000 Christians turned out in the mile-high city to hear why he believes no political party or politician can turn America around.
In a lengthy interview, Graham spoke with CBN News one on one about his cry for America and the nation's leaders.
He urged those gathered at the tour to live out their faith boldly and pray for the nation and its leaders.
"I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level, to get out and vote and cast their ballots for candidates who uphold biblical principles," Graham said.
Just as the biblical prophet Nehemiah cried out to God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore hope to God's people, Graham hopes this tour will do the same.
He explained to the crowd how the story of Nehemiah parallels what's happening in America today. The very steps Nehemiah took should be a model to today, he said.
He is urging Christians to confess the sins of the nation, their personal sins and those of their fathers.
Graham also asked participants to go to the Decision America Tour website and sign the pledge to both God and country.
The pledge incorporates 1 Corinthians 3:11: "For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ" as well as 2 Chronicles 7:14, spoken to the nation of Israel.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land," 2 Chronicles 7:14 reads.
"America is at a moral tipping point. Our jobs as Christians is to make the impact of Christ felt in every phase of life: religious, social, economic and political," he said as he asked people to pray the sinner's prayer with him.
Quoting Zechariah 4:6, Graham reminded Christians gathered in Denver that no one can do anything in his or her own strength, but only by surrendering completely to God and allowing Him to work in them through prayer and His Word.

Pet Bereavement
Tuesday, 30 March 2010
First of all you need to acknowledge it's a valid loss - And other people need to acknowledge that too. Usually people get it when you lose a family member but can sometimes think you're being ridiculous or are surprised at the depth of the loss. Can be surprised yourself. Your dog can be your best friend.
With children - acknowledge that they can be very attached to their pets. For a lot of children it will be their first brush with death. So don't just replace the dead goldfish when they're at school. Talk about death to them and how pets and humans do die. Good to have a grief process.
Also other pets in the household may need a bit more care, give them a little extra TLC.
Don't rush into buying a new pet for everyone. It's not a substitute for the pet that has died. Take the time with the first one. Don't rush into it as you're cutting off the grief process, good to acknowledge it. Or it can become somatic - signs: not eating/sleeping well, out of sorts.
You don't have to have a big funeral and invite all the family, but there's a little ritual around it. Have a chat with someone. If the pet has been put down can bury or cremate, whatever you feel is right. If it's a dog it's harder than a goldfish.
As with humans, don't throw out all their things. Keep mementoes. Can give some away, pass on the basket. Who gets the dog's collar? Keep a favourite toy, make a scrapbook. Don't hurry yourself through the grief. Don't feel silly if you want to hold onto some things. It has happened and it is a big deal.
Grief is very tough! No one chooses to do that. Eventually you have to shift gear and shake yourself down. You can't over-indulge in grief as such. If someone needs the attention, and does it through the grief then they probably need it anyway.
It's a very personal choice as to when you can get another pet. No one should tell you when is right.
If you are an older person and cannot take on the responsibility of another pet (as you're 70 and a dog can now live until about age 20 and you don't know if you'll still be around at 90 to take care of them) then there are alternatives: help train guide dogs for the blind puppies, or offer help in a pound, offer to mind someone's dog for them, the DSPCA offer a fostering service and provide all the vaccinations, food bedding, vet's fees etc so you just share the love and you and the pet will benefit.
Contact Guide Dogs for the Blind on: http://www.guidedogs.ie / Lo-call: 1850 506 300 http://www.guidedogs.ie/our_dogs/puppy_walking.php /
Contact the DSPCA on: 01-4935502
Also other rescue services all over the country will have animals that people can foster or walk. Both people and pets will benefit.
Nothing in the IHF by way of support groups. But there are books are in the IHF library on pet bereavement. This leaflet validates it is a loss. You can also order books on Amazon or through the IHF, if you pay for P&P they will send out the book and then when you're finished with them, send the books back.
Also contact the IHF for the leaflet or download the leaflet www.hospice-foundation.ie or call the IHF reception 01 6793188
Angela Hickey - Vet:-
Vet's who have to do a Pet Euthanasia need to concentrate on preparation of the family for what's going to take place. More time has to be given to sitting down with the family where possible. Even in an emergency situation or a busy clinic, if a pet is dead on arrival or from an accident, the vet should give the family time with the pet. Also keep the environment as natural as possible, wrap the pet in a blanket, give the family time to say goodbye.
If an animal is heading for euthanasia, adequate heavy painkillers if possible to hold on the pet's life, so that there is time before the final act. Slow down the process so that the family can take it in: the shock, trauma, emotional impact of the accident and the euthanasia (of course not delaying any necessary euthanasia). Try not to be too clinical. If handled sensitively at the time can help the deep grief symptoms later.
These days animals are living much longer and can avail of chemo- and radio-therapy, and treatment / medicine for joints, liver, kidneys, hearts can help - there is a growing area of geriatric care for pets! But no harm to prepare people for the loss, bring it up at an earlier stage.
Location - if euthanasia is needed, best to do in the pet's own home, if the owner can handle it. Bringing the pet to the vet can be stressful, so if possible in the home is a nice alternative. If you need to go to the clinic, bring a familiar blanket and make the atmosphere as comfortable as possible.
Injection - Talk through with the owner what will happen. The injection goes into the vein and straight to the heart - it is an overdose, a very high dose of anaesthetic - so that one minute the pet is awake, the next gone, and important to note there is no pain at all. It is hard for the vet too, so no harm for the vet to sympathise with the family and say how he will miss the pet too, as they'd become fond of them through caring for them through the years etc.
After the event support -The owner will leave the clinic bereft. If they're going home alone, and it's an elderly person, ring them later. Nurses might do that. If the remains are cremated the vet practice will usually look after that. The vet should aim to be sensitive at all times.
The person may be angry at the vet or nurse, be aware that this is part of the grieving process. Let them speak but don't take it personally and try answer clearly and with full information, age appropriate for children. Don't leave the child out of the equation, but they will leave it to the parents to explain it to them.
Fostering of pets by the DSPCA is a wonderful project. It's like the elderly person is not left alone with the pet - they share the responsibility with the DSPCA.
Also the initial training for the National Council of the Blind guide dogs to get them socialized is a great project.
Never tell someone what to do with their grief. It may work to get a pet straight away.
Solace: http://www.solacepbc.com/
The DSPCA are in the process of constructing a bespoke pet memorial garden here at the shelter for this purpose.
The Death of a Beloved Pet - How You Can Cope
When someone you love dies it's normal to be upset and expect people to be understanding. However, when a companion pet dies, many people may consider offering support as being inappropriate because they view the loss as 'just a pet.' We at the DSPCA believe nothing could be further from the truth. We understand the devastation felt at the loss of a beloved pet.
A pet is a Member of the Family:
We love our pets and consider them to be our family. Lots of pet owners celebrate their pets' birthdays, buy them presents and carry their pictures in their wallets, purses, on mobile 'phones and even post them on social sites like Facebook and Bebo. Therefore, when a pet dies, it's normal to feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your sorrow; after all, haven't they provided us with emotional support and unconditional love?
The Grief Process:
There is no set rule to grieving for a pet. Grief is as individual as the person. Sometimes it begins with denial. Some pet owners feel anger, and this may be directed towards anyone, even those involved with the pet. This can include family members, friends or even the vet. They may also be angry at themselves and experience guilt. What did I do? Should I have done more? Should I have done less? Is it inappropriate to feel so upset?
When these feelings of anger and guilt subside, true sadness may set in. The owner may even feel depressed. Acceptance will only occur when they realise they have lost their pet and begin to remember the animal with decreasing sadness.
How do you cope?
There are no rules for coping but remember, you are not alone. There are bereavement counselling services and online bereavement groups, etc., maybe your local family project group, church notice board, credit union notice board, will have a list of helpline numbers.
Here's a few tips to help you cope:
. Acknowledge that you are grieving and give yourself permission to grieve.
. Reach out to those who understand and can lend a helping, compassionate, hand.
. Write down your feelings. (Maybe compose a poem or write a story).
. Call your local animal shelter or vet to see if they can offer a helpline to a pet loss support group.
. Arrange a memorial for your pet.
Senior Citizens
Senior citizens can take the loss of a pet particularly hard, especially if they live alone and the pet was their sole companion. The pet's death may also trigger other painful memories and remind the owners of their own mortality. Also, the decision to give another pet a home may be complicated by the possibility the new pet may outlive the owner. An option here is to foster a pet. See www.dspca.ie for details on our Senior Foster Programme.
When a pet dies, it may be the first experience the child has when it comes to coping with death. The child may even blame the parents, the vet, or even blame himself. The child may experience fear that other beloved members of his family will be taken away from him. Trying to protect your child by telling him the pet ran away from home may cause your child to expect the pet to return. Expressing your own grief and encouraging your child to express theirs will help your child understand that it's ok to be sad and this will help him work through his feelings.

Surviving pets may even whimper, go off their food and get depressed because they've lost a friend too. Remember, pets develop a close bond with each other. However, if they weren't best friends with the deceased animal, your own emotional state may distress them. Give them lots of love and try to maintain a normal routine. If your remaining pet continues to be a bit out of sorts, take him to the vet, there may be another reason that requires medical attention
Don't rush to get another pet; it's unfair to you and the new pet. Every animal is individual so you cannot replace a lost one, just as you cannot replace a lost human companion. You will know when the time is right to adopt a new pet. When you're ready, drop up to see us at the DSPCA, Mount Venus Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16 and take a look at our animals who are in need of a loving home. Or log onto www.dspca.ie

Puppy Walking - Guide Dogs for the Blind
Puppy walking is the term we use to describe the vital process of preparing puppies for their future career as a guide dog or an assistant dog.
Walkers are individuals or families, mostly in Munster and Dublin, who agree to take a pup into their home for a period of approximately 12 months, to rear, socialise and educate it in all aspects of everyday life.
The role involves house-training, grooming and basic obedience exercises. No charge. 18 and over. Full time for a year and at the end of the year the puppy goes back to the Guide Dogs group.
They provide the Puppy Walkers with the necessary support and back-up to enable them to successfully educate and socialise their puppies. A variety of practical workshops are organised for Puppy Walkers to aid their knowledge and assist them with dog handling skills.
All veterinary fees and feeding costs are covered by Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, and the puppy's progress is monitored by regular visits from a Supervisor. Currently we only consider Puppy Walkers in the Munster and Dublin areas due to limitations on resources. Furthermore, it is important to note that applications are evaluated according to various criteria, the most important of which are:
a) There needs to be an adult at home full time;
b) Puppies cannot be placed in homes where there are children under the age of five.
If you are interested in becoming a Puppy Walker, please complete the application form Puppy Walkers brochure.

I'm about a month out from having my surgery. Still have a while before I get my final results, but very happy so far.
My Doctor was great, the office staff is excellent and I am so happy that I finally had this done. It is so nice to get rid of all the padded bras! I don't have any pictures yet (too early lol).

I've been waiting for this one since hearing about it earlier this month. With the rapid growth the atheist blogosphere is experiencing, it will be nice to have another blog carnival to complement Carnival of the Godless. This one focuses on posts that offer "a positive alternative to belief systems based on the supernatural." I think the Humanist Symposium is really going to take off. But don't take my word for it. The first edition is now up at Daylight Atheism.
Check out the Humanist Symposium.

It is a rare thing – this love of God. Bhakti can arise only when there is wholehearted devotion to God. Pure Bhakti is difficult to obtain. Through Bhakti the mind and soul must be absorbed in God. Then comes Bhava – the higher form of Bhakti.
Devotion to God increases in the same proportion as attachment to the objects of the senses decreases.
If once man gains love of God, if once the chanting of His holy name begins to thrill the devotee with joy, what effort is needed for the control of passions afterwards? The control comes of itself.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Rewind: The Diana World Tour2013-09-13 1 Share Tweet
In the spirit of the Lomography Diana F+'s 6th birthday, let's take a trip down memory lane and relive the awesome journey that is the Diana World Tour. Read more after the cut!
It's been six years since Lomography launched its recreation of the famous 1960s plastic camera, the Diana, and four years since the start of the Diana World Tour. Oh how time flies!
But wait a minute, what's the Diana World Tour exactly? New community members would, of course know about the Diana F+, but how about this fantastic travelling exhibition?
In a nutshell, the Diana World Tour is a travelling exhibition that celebrates the legacy of the Diana camera, the 1960s cult classic camera known for its ability to capture deliciously lo-fi photos. The exhibition includes the following:
- The Detrich Collection: an incredible collection of Diana cameras and clones straight from the 60s and 70s acquired by Lomography in the Spring of 2007 and named after Allan Detrich, the man who painstakingly collected them over the years.
- The DWT Global Vignettes Collection: a great collection of Diana images taken by passionate Diana enthusiasts around the world.
- The Customized Clones Exhibition: a collection of Diana cameras especially customized by a selected group of artists, illustrators, creatives and Lomofriends from the host city and the surrounding areas.
The Diana World Tour kickstarted in Hong Kong, and has since travelled to Tokyo, Seoul, Porto, Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Taipei, New York City, Los Angeles, San Franciso, Riga, London, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, and then finally ending its journey in Austin.
Now, don't be so disappointed if your city wasn't part of the tour because who knows? We might be able to see these dreamers on the road again.
But for now, let's keep calm and Lomo on!
The Diana F+ is a new twist on the '60s classic cult camera. Famous for its dreamy and soft-focused images, the Diana F+ is now packed with extra features such as panorama and pinhole capabilities. Available in our Online Shop.

ELYRIA — Two people were taken to the hospital for minor injuries about 4:30 p.m. Saturday after a five-car fender bender on West River Road.
The crash happened near the Fox's Lair Apartments and Interstate 90 overpass. The first three vehicles appear to have been involved in a chain-reaction, while the last two collided trying to avoid the others.
Elyria firefighters said one person complained of whiplash and another had a cut on the forehead. Police did not release the victims' names late Saturday.
Cleanup of the road backed traffic up south nearly to Midway Mall.

text: Globalization, which the world is witnessing for the past two decades is changing the ways businesses are done. World is now called 'flat' in the business language, which means one can take the processes to almost anywhere in the world where cheaper resources needed for the process are available. Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world. Tea manufacturing is one of the oldest manufacturing processes (Evans, 1992). Tea production has evolved over the centuries and generations, currently adopting the most advanced technologies in tea powder manufacturing. Globalization has had its effects on the tea industry too. Now tea is being manufactured where tea plants are grown naturally (Parker, 2004). The tea powder thus manufactured is exported to the consumption country where it is further processed and packaged as per the local needs of the country (Parker, 2004).. The essay aims to study the complete tea production and manufacturing cycle from growing tea crop to manufacturing the tea powder. The essay extends the understanding of production process to a global scale. There are two parts to this essay. The first part dwells on the production process of tea and the second part dwells on the globalization of tea industry. The essay also focuses on how globalization has influenced human resource management in the tea industry. The essay concludes with a few recommendations as to how local tea companies can survive in the face of increasing globalization.

Showing a Super Bowl ad to cinema audiences results in significantly increased ROI, according to a survey of viewers conducted after last year's Super Bowl by Lieberman Research on behalf of national cinema advertising company Screenvision.
The survey consisted of two parts: an online survey of 1,001 adults, conducted in the two days following Super Bowl XLV on February 11, 2011, and a second survey of 297 respondents at movie theaters in Los Angeles and Nashville, conducted over the weekend following the Super Bowl.
According to the survey results, combining a Super Bowl ad with cinema advertising resulted in a 41% increase in brand affinity, meaning opinion of the brand, among people who recalled seeing the ad both in the cinema and on TV; a 27% increase in brand awareness among the same group; a 27% increase in likelihood to share a positive opinion of the brand via word-of-mouth; and a 13% increase in likelihood to recommend the brand.
The survey also found that viewers who only saw the ads in the cinema were 12% more likely to recall them than viewers who saw them only on TV. Viewers who only saw the ad in the cinema also registered 14% greater impact than TV-only viewing in ad likeability; 21% greater impact in terms of ad persuasiveness; 6% greater impact in brand consideration; and 4% greater impact in brand opinion.

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Treasury Jacob J. Lew, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas will help USCIS celebrate our nation's 237th birthday as the agency welcomes more than 7,800 new citizens during more than 100 naturalization ceremonies across the country and overseas from July 1 to July 5.
"The United States has a long and proud tradition as a welcoming nation, and we continue to attract hardworking people from across the world who want contribute to this country in purposeful ways," said Secretary Napolitano. "During Independence Day week, we welcome men and women who have come from all walks of life to serve our country and become our fellow citizens."
"As a first generation American, taking part in this ceremony has special meaning for me," said Secretary Lew. "It takes incredible resolve to become a citizen of this nation, and we benefit greatly from those who make this journey."
Director Mayorkas and Secretary Lew will welcome 30 new citizens July 3 at the Department of Treasury in Washington, D.C. Director Mayorkas also will join White House Chief of Staff McDonough on July 4 to welcome 101 new citizens at George Washington's Mount Vernon in Mount Vernon, Va. Mt. Vernon is one of the prominent landmarks to host naturalization ceremonies this year in honor of Independence Day. Citizenship candidates will take the Oath of Allegiance during ceremonies all around the country, including: the Crater Lake National Park in Crater Lake, Ore.; the Chicago Cultural Center in Chicago; Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville, Va.; Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Ariz.; the National World War II Museum in New Orleans; the Freedom Tower in Miami; and the Seattle Center in Seattle.
"During Independence Day celebrations across the country this week, more than 7,800 individuals will fulfill their dream of becoming U.S. citizens," said USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas. "American citizenship provides a unique bond that unites people around the civic ideals of freedom and democracy. These ideals led to our independence and continue to keep America a beacon of hope and opportunity."
This year's celebration of citizenship also will feature special naturalization ceremonies at sites integral to America's struggle to maintain independence and defend freedom, including: the USS Midway Museum in San Diego; the Battleship Missouri Memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Historic Fort Snelling in St. Paul, Minn.; Fort Necessity National Battlefield in Farmington, Pa.; Saratoga National Historical Park in Stillwater, N.Y.; Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial in Put-in-Bay, Ohio; and aboard the USS Constitution in Boston.

Back spasms keep Hamilton out of starting lineup
ANAHEIM -- Josh Hamilton didn't expect to still be dealing with back spasms.
"I've never had it last this long," Hamilton said Thursday night, after being scratched from the lineup for the second time in three days. "It's usually only like a few hours."
Hamilton was a late scratch from the Angels' lineup on Tuesday and Thursday, though he came in as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning of the Angels' 3-2 win in the Freeway Series finale.
Hamilton first experienced pain in the middle-right portion of his back after his last swing of batting practice on Tuesday, then spent the rest of the night in the trainer's room, took muscle relaxers before going to bed, saw a chiropractor on Wednesday morning, started that night's game and played all the way through despite experiencing tightness around the third inning.
He arrived to the ballpark early on Thursday, taking early batting practice and running on the field, but was scratched 90 minutes prior to game time. The back wasn't responding the way he expected it to.
Hamilton nonetheless doesn't anticipate missing any additional time with the back ailment -- then again, he said that Wednesday.
"It's nothing else," Hamilton said. "I've been checked out. As far as the back and everything, ribs, all that stuff is good."
"He's not 100 percent," Angels manager Mike Scioscia added, "but he can go out there and play defense."

Spring 2011 | Proper Restraint at Chanel and Valentino/
The new Chanel Spring 2011 campaign, starring Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi is lifeless, without emotion and devoid of sensuality. It reminds me of the Victorian British in India, done up 21st century style.
In fact, a certain monasticism is in the air.
Restraint, self discipline, and 'rising above' pleasure are key to this trend, which is the exact opposite of Smart Sensuality. Simply stated, these women do not have sex.
When we look at Freja Beha with Arizona Muse on the January 2011 cover of Italian Vogue, and also Julia Saner a first release image from Valentino Sp 2011, co-starring Freja Beha and Caroline Brasch Nielsen, we see the 'Black Swan' effect in play.

This issue of Eurosurveillance contains an article by a French team on the transmission of the new influenza A(H1N1) in Mexico, which uses published figures from the outbreak to estimate important parameters for transmission, among them the reproduction rate, R [1]. Such studies may have important implications for public health action in Europe.
What is R?
The growth rate of an epidemic is determined by two factors: the number of new persons infected by each case and the time from start of infectiousness in one case to start of infectiousness in the secondary cases caused by him/her. The first factor is called 'reproduction rate' and is usually denoted R. If the disease is spreading in a population that is totally susceptible the term 'basic reproduction rate' (Ro) is used. R is the product of four terms: the risk of transmission in one single contact between an infectious and a susceptible person, the frequency of such contacts in the population, the duration of infectivity of a case, and the proportion of susceptibles in the population. If R >1 this means that each case infects more than one new person, and the outbreak is likely to continue. If R < 1 the outbreak will eventually die out, even if there may be a number of cases before that. The time from infectiousness in one case to infectiousness in his/her secondary cases is called 'generation time' (Tg) and is basically a biological constant, even if its exact value depends on how it is estimated.
Values for the factors that determine R can be calculated on the basis of scientific knowledge of the disease, its context of transmission, and the immunity status of the population. However, during an epidemic an R value usually has to be derived from the analysis of the epidemic curve or by the study of transmission chains.
Several studies have now tried to estimate R (or Ro) and Tg for the new influenza A(H1N1) virus from Mexican data. In the one published in this issue of Eurosurveillance [1], the authors use one exponential fitting and one real-time estimation model to arrive at an estimate of R between 2.2 and 3.1. This is higher than the value found in an article in Science [2], which estimated Ro to be 1.4-1.6 using three models: one exponential fitting, one genetic analysis, and two standard SIR models for a confined outbreak in La Gloria. Another analysis of the minor genetic changes in the virus over time arrived at a Ro estimate of 1.16 [3].
Why is Ro important in public health?
The reproduction rate reflects effectiveness of transmission, and therefore has important implications for the efforts that public health authorities would have to make in implementing health measures aiming at containing or mitigating the outbreak.
For example, with a Ro of 1.16, preventing 14% of cases will result in eventually interrupting transmission, while with a Ro of 3.1, preventing 68% cases would be needed – assuming a total random mixing of contacts in the population.
Why are Ro estimates so different for influenza?
A few studies have tried to measure Ro for seasonal influenza [4], and found it to be in the order of 1.2 to 1.4. However, for most of the seasonal strains, there is already some immunity in the population from past seasons, which lowers the reproduction rate (and it should thus really not be called Ro in this situation). For any epidemic of a disease that leads to immunity after infection the initial Ro will also be higher than the actual R at any later stage, since the proportion still susceptible in the population will decrease. It should also be realised that delayed reporting of cases will affect an estimate of R; a problem that adheres to the study in this issue and the others cited above.
What influences Ro?
The risk of transmission in a contact when an infective meets a susceptible is basically a biological constant (even if it varies over the time course of the infection), as is the duration of infectiveness. However, frequency of contacts varies considerably between populations and population groups. For example, among children in schools or day care, the contact frequency is higher than among adults [5], and it also varies by culture, by family size in a society, by types of social interaction, etc.
Why is the Ro from Mexico important?
One could question why there is so much interest around studies of R and Ro based on Mexican data. Would they apply to Europe? One could guess that contact density might be higher in a Mexican setting, but on the other hand, since the epidemic has already run its course for some time there, the proportion of non-susceptibles would be higher in Mexico and the European situation would more approach a 'true' (higher) Ro, with a totally susceptible population.
In the graph, we have just compared the daily reported cumulative number of cases in Mexico, Canada, United States, and European Union and European Free Trade Association (EU/EFTA) countries. On a semi-logarithmic scale it is evident that the slope for Europe is very much the same as for Mexico. It is difficult to estimate the time lag for Europe, but it seems that we are some 1-2 months behind. If the generation times are the same for both epidemics – which seems highly plausible – then an estimate of Ro for Mexico would apply also to Europe. A Ro just above 1 could mean that a containment strategy might be successful.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is continuously monitoring the situation and with more data being available every day in Europe we will obviously be able to have a better picture here soon as well. Nevertheless, the similarities of the shapes of the epidemics indicate that lessons from Mexico could apply also to Europe.

G-Series Excavators
The direct result of ongoing collaboration between excavator customers and Deere engineers, John Deere has launched three new G-Series Excavators featuring IT4-certified engines, more power and cab improvements to increase visibility.
The new series introduction includes the 250G, 290G and 350G, ranging from 191-hp to 299 net hp. Each product's IT4-certified engine allows customers to meet the latest local emissions regulations and bid specifications without sacrificing power or performance.
"We've increased power and hydraulic flow while also adding the IT4 engine," said Mark Wall, John Deere's excavator product marketing manager. "The end result is eight percent more productivity for our customers. They can do more work, faster."
Customer John Gleim, one of a group of excavator owners that have shared their needs and opinions with Deere for many years, noticed a power gap between excavator models that wasn't apparent during conventional digging. It was apparent in another application, craning trench boxes.
"If you can't handle trench boxes easily, you'll find people cheating," Gleim said. "They won't use as big a box as is really needed, and pretty soon safety is compromised. We can't have that – safety is critical to our day-to-day operations. I talked to Deere about adding more stability and power. They not only listened, they responded," Gleim explained.
Customers also asked Deere for specific visibility improvements in the G-Series cab, according to Wall. "Based on customer feedback, we redesigned the upper structure to include more glass and more lighting to improve sightlines," Wall said. "If you can see more around the machine without stretching your neck or leaning out of your seat, you'll be more comfortable and productive over the course of a shift."
The new G-Series also retains a number of key features from the previous D-Series, such as the Powerwise III management system that perfectly balances engine and hydraulic performance. Generous hydraulic flow and best in class metering ensure powerful digging force, precise, low-effort control and superb multi-function operation. Deere's exclusive cooling system cools on demand and has an optional reversing fan to blow out debris. Fast and simple access to the core makes cleaning easy.
A spacious, quiet and well-appointed operator's station features a full suspension high-back seat that adjusts independently from or together with the control console to accommodate any size operator.
755K Crawler Loader

Yet another collaborative effort is the new 755K crawler loader that features productivity enhancements and a new IT4-certified diesel engine to help contractors to get more work done with less noise and fewer emissions.
According to Dan Drescher, crawler product marketing manager for John Deere Construction & Forestry, "The 755K incorporates several enhancements that not only increase productivity, but respond to individual operator preferences, such as the V-pattern or joystick transmission control option. There's also a rear ripper design to help turn materials, a viscous-mounted cab for noise suppression, and increased serviceability to make daily maintenance easier."
Many of the contractors that collaborated with Deere on the 755K design also asked for a crawler loader built in the U.S. "General excavating and earthmoving contractors now have a North American-built crawler loader tailored to their needs that can easily tackle a wide variety of regional terrain conditions," Drescher said.
The 755K crawler loader has powertrain and track system technology designed for Deere's new, powerful 850K crawler dozer. Together with an IT4-certified engine, the crawler loader reaches best-in-class performance targets for hydraulic hp, lift capacity, drawbar pull and engine power boost.
"With 190 hp, the 755K also has a higher maximum hinge pin clearance than the competition, more dump clearance and more static tipping load capacity," said Drescher. "The bottom-line result is greater productivity."
The 755K also features a number of cab improvements to increase operator comfort. The viscous cab mounting reduces noise from vibration while double laminated rear window glass and complete interior sound-dampening treatment significantly reduce noise levels.
Other cab conveniences include a sealed switch module with keyless start, security mode with auto shutdown, and a diagnostic monitor that's both easy to read and provides machine condition information at a glance.
Among several easy maintenance features on the 755K is Deere's NeverGrease pins in its loader bucket linkage, which eliminate time-consuming, messy greasing. Service points have also been color-coded for easy identification, fluid sampling valves are now standard, and under the iron, operators will find hinged belly pans and improved access. Deere's Quad-Cool system also features a tilt-out grille and fan for simplified core cleanout, while separate hydrostatic and hydraulic reservoirs prevent the possibility of oil cross-contamination. www.JohnDeere.com.

A man who disguised himself as an airline pilot and tried to enter a restricted area of Auckland Airport may have been part of a television prank that went awry.
The New Zealand Police force is not amused.
"Attempted breaches of airport security are taken very seriously," said police superintendent Andy Lovelock in a statement.
Police say that on Saturday, a man entered the airport dressed in what appeared to be a pilot's uniform, complete with epaulets on his shirt shoulders and a silver winged badge on his cap. He was also carrying a large briefcase. Police say the man tried to enter an "airside" area of the airport before being challenged by ground staff and escaping from the airport in a black Toyota van.
Rachel Lorimer, a spokeswoman with local station TV3, which is run by the company MediaWorks, said police have been speaking to members of an independently produced show called Wanna-Ben.
"What I can tell you is that the police have been talking to a couple of members of the Wanna-Ben production team. One of them is about to appear in court," Lorimer said. "From a MediaWorks perspective, we cannot comment further until the police go through their process."
The premise of the show, according to the station's website, is that an unemployed man named Ben looks for an exciting job - such as rock star or fashion icon - and meets famous people along the way.
The police have yet to comment on the possible connection with the television show. However, Lovelock said in his statement that "the effort to which this individual has gone to access the restricted airside area of the Auckland Airport is of significant concern."
The incident is reminiscent of the 2002 movie Catch Me If You Can, which recounts the true story of a young con artist who successfully poses as an airline pilot before being caught by the FBI. - Sapa-AP

Quick: How many of you have ever discussed Abraham Lincoln's diet? What, no takers? In one of the more unusual foodie events, personal chef, storyteller, researcher and self-described "passionate locavore" Jessica Gaydos is conducting Lincoln Eats, a cooking demo that focuses on Honest Abe's favorite foods: corn dodgers, baking soda biscuits, oyster stew (which he was exposed to once he moved into the White House) and apples.
He was also partial to an almond cake that his wife, Mary Todd, made for him while they were courting," says Gaydos, who also plans to cook Lincoln's most cherished dish, which she won't divulge until class is in session.

The culinary seminar, part of the Denver Public Library's Fresh City Life tribute to Lincoln's bicentennial birthday, is free to the public and includes samples and recipes. It takes place today from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the B2 Conference Center of the Central Library, 10 West Fourteenth Avenue Parkway.
For this demo, I'll also talk about cooking styles, since the cook stove as we know it had not been invented by the time of Lincoln's death, explains Gaydos. There's no registration required, but if you want more info about how to eat like a really old past president, log on to http://denverlibrary.org/programs/fresh/index.html or call 720-865-1206.

A recent study released by In-Stat suggests that nearly 79% of all businesses will deploy VoIP by 2013; a 37% increase over the 42% of businesses having migrated to VoIP by the end of 2009. What is the cause of such a rapid influx in corporate VoIP migration? According to experts in the IP telecommunications field the forecasted growth has more to do with declining business expansion and the potential to boost efficiencies and cost savings in current business locations.
The economical ebbs and flows of the last half decade have resulted in fewer businesses opening new locations and instead investing more time and resources into bolstering the efficiencies of their primary enterprises. In focusing their attention on existing resources US business owners have found that in order to maximize their investment, while protecting their current capital, they must examine ways to limit their budget – without sacrificing essentials. VoIP telephony allows businesses to realize the potentials of a fully functioning corporate telecommunications system without over extending their capital spending.
In response to the increased use of VoIP in US business, In-Stat reported the following in their market research study, "US Business VoIP Overview: Optimization Trumps Expansion".
• 33% of businesses that have already deployed VoIP solutions report that recent economic conditions have caused them to slow additional deployment plans, compared to 30% reporting no change in plans.
• Broadband IP Telephony revenues continue to grow and will more than double by 2013, compared to 2008. This growth will be fueled by single-user applications among increasingly distributed and mobile workforces.
Given that more businesses are foregoing opening new locations, and instead either contracting remote workers or enhancing the capabilities of their main business locations, VoIP provides a logical solution in the desire to minimize spending while maximizing efficiency. Since Broadband use in businesses has more than doubled in recent years it only makes sense that businesses would gravitate towards an Internet based telecommunications system.
• Prior to deploying a VoIP solution it is recommended that businesses first perform a complete network analysis to ensure that the existing network is able to support voice and data traffic, as well as a rapid increase of bandwidth.
• Invest in a high-quality network router, anti-virus and firewall applications to enhance network security.
Key Considerations:
• 72% of all US businesses will deploy a VoIP solution by 2013.
• VoIP allows employees and mobile workers from around the world instant access to corporate communications systems from any location that maintains Broadband Internet connectivity.
• IP telephony is provides even smaller organizations with the same telecommunications features as Fortune 500 enterprises, for a low monthly flat-rate.
• Internet based communications systems greatly improve efficiency and overall collaboration.
The Bottom Line:
Migrating to a VoIP telecommunications platform allows business to realize the full potential of a corporate communications system while minimizing their on-going capital expenditures. IP telephony is the most established method of bolstering business efficiency and increasing both productivity and collaboration.
