After months of being available in beta and other forms, The Elder Scrolls Legends officially launches today on PC. The collectible card game takes the universe of the Elder Scrolls series and applies it to a familiar formula, as seen in Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Hearthstone. It's not just a re-skin of these games' methods though, with Bethesda making some key innovations in the genre, such as two different lanes of attack/defense.
Along with PC hitting today there are still other versions, whose release dates were shared as well. The Elder Scrolls Legends will hit iPad on March 23rd, Android in April, Mac OS in May, and mobile phones this Summer. As far as why the platforms will launch in this order, apparently a lot of thought went into that. "We've run surveys throughout the last year and we heard players loud and clear: You want to play on your tablets and phones," explained Bethesda.
"We're incredibly excited about all these platforms and with the game losing its beta tag on PC, we wanted to let our players known up front what they can expect for the future. If you are currently playing on PC, or plan to check the game out on PC, all of your information and decks will carry over once you take the experience to any of the devices listed above."
For those who've been playing and enjoying The Elder Scrolls Legends on PC already in its beta form, nothing really changes for you. The game is simply transitioning to an official release, so perhaps the playerbase will expand, giving you more people to play with.
As for the future, Bethesda is planning a slate of updates and expansions for The Elder Scrolls Legends. " We're happy to announce our first major story campaign update for Legends coming April 5: "The Fall of the Dark Brotherhood" is a brand-new Story that will feature new solo PvE content – more than 20 missions spread across three maps – as well as over 40 new cards. Those who pick up "The Fall of the Dark Brotherhood" will also receive the Doom Wolf mount in The Elder Scrolls Online (PC/Mac only) as a bonus. This is just the first step in better integrating Legends and The Elder Scrolls Online going forward."
"In May we will be adding a variety of features including a full Spectator mode, Twitch integration, and support for in-game tournaments with our all-new Gauntlet mode. Gauntlets are limited-time, in-game tournaments where you create a deck out of the cards in your collection and compete against other players to reach the top of the Gauntlet leaderboard. The length, conditions and prizes for the Gauntlets will change from month-to-month. We'll be talking more about all of our May features over the coming months."

Left-wingers in the Labour Party, such as Jeremy Corbyn, have long held Venezuela up as a model of socialist government. But with its economy tanking and its government being accused of human rights abuses, would the Labour left's attitude change?

text: Case Filed for Pair of Injured Workers Posted By Arnold & Itkin || 14-Apr-2014 Attorneys Kurt Arnold and Kyle Findley are representing a pair of clients who were injured in the same incident on the job. The two men are industrial workers and were exposed to vaporized hydrofluoric acid at their jobsite after a Phillips worker wrongfully opened the valve. During the exposure, much of the site was evacuated because of the contamination but the two workers were trapped on scaffolding and their exposure to the acid was prolonged as they tried desperately to escape. As they were forced to breathe in the acid, they sustained burn injuries in their lungs and throat as well as on their face and eyes. The injuries left them in need of immediate hospitalization and doctors feared they could be fatal if not treated at once. The case was been filed and is pending in Harris County, Texas. Arnold & Itkin LLP is proud to be representing these two men in order to hold those responsible accountable for their wrongdoing.

Now whilst many of have probably heard of Bitcoin you may not be fully aware as to what its purpose or indeed its value is to the owner. Bitcoin is the world's first digitally-based currency which allows users to be able to securely and successfully make various online and other virtual-related financial transactions. This currency is traded virtually, much like any other, yet it doesn't exist in any printed or minted form such as the dollar, pound or euro.
The Bitcoin itself is a decentralised currency which is not controlled by any single banking system, company or any other form of institution which is one such major factor that appeals to so many users. So how is it generated? Well Bitcoins themselves are actually created through a process known as 'mining'. This is achieved by utilising computing power over a distributed network. And it's this network that enables Bitcoin to work as its own payment network by processing any transactions made in this currency.
By using Bitcoin exchanges you are now able to actually exchange your virtual currency for real money, and of course you can even spend this currency online.
It's this increasingly popularity, coupled with its promise of privacy that is driving its growth and it will not be long before we start seeing Bitcoin more widely accepted on the high street and for online sites where large volumes of currency are moved each day.
For example some online casino and gambling sites have started to accept Bitcoin in their games and it will not be long before more established brands such as Euro Palace also pick up on the demand for Bitcoin accepting games.
But what are the benefits of using this as a choice currency when playing at online casinos? Well firstly all a players transactions are anonymous therefore no account charges or details will show up on your banking or credit card statements. Also many online casinos are looking into being able to provide their players with the opportunity of earning Bitcoins via their existing loyalty programs which can then be exchanged for real-money funds to play all your favourite casino-based games with.
With so many of us now turning to mobile and online-based gaming experiences that allow quick bite-sized transactions to process in order to purchase special in-game enhancements or upgrades it seems fitting that a quick, secure and convenient way in which to pay should also be in a virtual form. If such influential markets can adopt such an innovative digital currency we could be seeing massive changes in the industry which will no doubt shift swiftly to other similar vertical markets in the future.

This past week actually saw some fairly big mixtapes, or, in the case of our second featured artist, news about where the fuck their mixtape is.
As has become tradition, the fellas from the Wu-Tang Clan left it up to DJ Mathematics to put together a mixtape to get listeners' juices flowing for the upcoming Wu-Massacre CD. Spotlighting Method Man, Ghostface Killah and Raekwon, the Avenging Eagles CD falls into line with other Mathematics mixtapes: a few exclusives from the aforementioned Wu-Massacre, some remixes, and plenty of classic and hard-to-find Wu tracks from back in the day (remember that St. Ides commercial from way back? You'll know it after listening to this). As there are any number of stellar producers in the Clan, i can't figure out how Mathematics keeps getting this cherry gig. Maybe he's the one with the best weed connection. Perhaps he's got the deepest collection of Shaw Brothers flicks. Beats me, but that's alright, as he more than capably does his duty again here.
mp3: Mef vs. Chef (Exclusive) (Wu-Tang Clan from Avenging Eagles)
mp3: All Flowers (Exclusive) (Wu-Tang Clan from Avenging Eagles)
For those of us still waiting for the mixtape from Raaaaaaaandy (Aziz Ansari) and Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio fame, it looks like we're going to have to wait just a bit longer. According to what could be the funniest dis track of the century (hyperbole be damned!), the duo sent out beats to some of the biggest names in hip-hop, but have yet to receive any raps back from the solicited. Or maybe he's just making that shit up. Kind of hard to tell, but fricking hilarious nonetheless.
mp3: AAAAAAAANGRY (With Eight A's) (Raaaaaaaandy and Dave Sitek from the upcoming RAAAAAAANDY Mixtape)
Hell, don't take my word for it. Let the man speak for himself.
His scratching might need rehashing, but his style is undeniable. Watch those fingers fly. Word booty.

Normally I would just put this off as someone trying to start a stupid rumour. I guess there could be a little clever playing around with Google's Search trends as there was a death in the Jimmy Carter
JIMMY CARTER - Not Dead
camp, however, it was not Jimmy Carter who died. The death was of long time Aide to Jimmy Carter, Jody Powell who died at the age of 65.
To dispel any rumours of the death of Jimmy Carter as well as answer the "DID JIMMY CARTER REALLY DIE" questions, here you go. Jimmy Carter is very much alive and grieving the loss of his long trusted Aide.
Jody Powell - Assistant to JIMMY CARTER DEAD
WASHINGTON — Jody Powell, the longest-serving and probably closest aide to former President Jimmy Carter, died on Monday at his home near Cambridge on Maryland's Eastern Shore, said Jack Nelson, the journalist and his friend. He was 65.
Mr. Powell collapsed outside his home, and efforts to revive him at a hospital were unsuccessful, Mr. Nelson said. He added that Mr. Powell's wife, Nan, said that her husband had suffered a heart attack.
Mr. Powell acquired the nickname Jody after the young hero in Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings's classic "The Yearling," writes David Stout the obituary. Joseph Lester Powell Jr. was born on Sept. 30, 1943, in Vienna, Ga. Like Mr. Carter, he had a farm background — in Mr. Powell's case a 500-acre spread where his father raised cotton and peanuts.
In recent years, he had been chairman of Powell Tate, a Washington-based public relations firm.

I love both of your Zendalas! Prestwood looks perfect here.ReplyDelete
Great Zendala's - I really like the orientation you've used for your tangles, especially beadlines in the first, and your bilt (or betweed?) is lovely. What is the design you used for the outer parts of your second - it's neat!ReplyDelete
Excellent line work in the first one, and I love the boldness and "busyness" of the second one.ReplyDelete

McGovern joins Binos
We are delighted to announce that experienced midfielder Jon Paul McGovern has become our fourth summer signing.
The 34-year-old joins fellow new recruits Chris Smith, Ross McMillan and Sean Dickson at Forthbank for 2015/16 after turning down the offer of a new deal with Ayr United.
Jon Paul began his career with Celtic and was a League Cup winner with Livingston before spells at Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons, Swindon Town and Carlisle United. He also had stints with Derry City and Celtic Nation before signing for Ayr last summer.
Stirling Albion manager Stuart McLaren said: "We are thrilled to have a player of Jon Paul's quality on board for the coming season. He has vast experience in the game but still has a real hunger to do well.
"He was the captain at Ayr United for the second half of last season and his leadership qualities, as well as his ability to make things happen in the middle of the park, will be a real asset to the squad in our promotion challenge."

Hey!! I got featured on the juice for a ''public school'' inspired look I created back in February for the magazine. Pretty dang cool.
Here's another one, it's really fun to create school themed looks especially when you know that school uniforms in actuality weren't that fun it feels nice to now avenge those days of being stifled in very strict specific dresscodes by giving it an imagined reality where girls can wear skirt two inches off their knees with their sleeves brushed up and have pink hair?
This whole thing is compensation for how academically incompetent I truly am tbh.
A lowkey costume. A distraction.

Evan Boudreaux is TribLocal Readers' Athlete of the Month in April!
You nominated athletes from Libertyville and Lake Forest, and then you voted for your favorite during our April challenge. See the full results of our poll, which was open from March 27-April 15, below.
Connor Adams, track and field. Senior at Lake Forest High School.
Why Connor deserves your vote: Adams was named a team captain this season. He placed second in the long jump and fifth in the 55-meter dash at the Antioch Invitational. Adams then beat his personal best distance in the long jump at the Dan Phillips Relays.
Evan Boudreaux, basketball. Junior at Lake Forest High School.
Why Evan deserves your vote: Boudreaux helped the Scouts make the regional final before losing to Highland Park, though he did make five of six field goal attempts in the loss. The junior already has several major college offers including Northwestern. This season, he averaged more than 24 points and 14 rebounds a game.
Alex Snarski, swimming. Senior at Libertyville High School.
Why Alex deserves your vote: In addition to helping Libertyville place third at the state meet, Snarski won the team's only individual title in the 100-back, just missing a state record. Snarski and the Wildcats set a number of individual, pool and county meet records, all while going undefeated in the league and claiming a sectional championship.
Note: You may vote once every 24 hours.

This is amazing. Your descriptions are wonderful, rich yet simple. I was with her every painful step of the way.
I wish there were no such situations that demand us to write of them.
Very powerful story.

Unusual story for you, at least from what I've seen on previous visits. I guess war does interest us all, even if only sanguinely...
What does "drescht" mean?

Gracie: Thanks for your positive comments. Yes, I wish there were no such situations too.
John: I like to experiment and wanted to try a war story, but from a female perspective. Dresch comes from the German 'to flail' so when an Afghan uses it in this situation it means 'stop or I shoot' basically.
Ruchiraa: Thank you. I'll visit.

Very compelling story. Brought you right next to her as she trudged through the desert sand and came to terms with her fear and duty. Loved the line "I was just a woman to them after all." It really reinforced cultural differences and what the essence of this war really is boiling down to. Thanks for sharing this flash!

Wow, this is such a strong piece. I loved your main character, I could see everything through her eyes.
Very sad that the child was obviously brainwashed to basically be used as a weapon. Even more so as you say it's mainly a true story.
I am glad I didn't miss this one.

"Feed meeee."
"Shut up, Mabel."
"Oh, Jesus Christ. Shut up, Mabel!"
"How long can you ignore my cries of hunger, Jenna?"
"Mabel, you are two inches tall and ate an entire strawberry fifteen minutes ago. There is no way you are hungry already."
Jenna Longo is sitting at her desk, hacking away at her paper on the terrible play the theater department put on last night She has been stuck in this same position for the last four hours, only taking breaks to pee, eat, and fulfill the requests of Mabel—the two inch tall 60 year old woman with poofy gray hair and a white and black striped dress that hung just below the knee.
Jenna takes second to survey herself in her wall mirror. Her dark brown skin prevents others from noticing the bags under her eyes, but she can see them clearly. Slipping off her glasses and placing them on her desk, she rubs her eyes and stretches her neck out, giving it a good roll to try to work out the kinks that have set in. She rereads the last line she has written, picking the curls in her ponytail—a habit she's had since childhood. With a huff she deletes a paragraph and pulls out her notes.
She notices Mabel staring at her from her place on the front porch of an olive green dollhouse, but trains her focus back on the task at hand.
Mabel stalks over to Jenna from her place in the dollhouse that serves as her full time home. Stopping just short of the keyboard where Jenna's hands furiously type, Mabel stares at her sternly with her hands on her hips. The curly college student refuses to acknowledge her tiny friend and continues to type.
With a dramatic sigh, Mabel makes her way over to the keyboard, hopping over Jenna's wrist and plopping down in front of the spacebar.
"I demand sustenance," Mabel declared.
"You know I can just move you, right?" Jenna answered back. She lifted her hand to grab the back of Mabel's dress.
"If you grab me, I will pee on this keyboard," Mabel cautioned.
"You wouldn't," Jenna challenged.
Mabel narrowed her eyes behind her tortoiseshell glasses.
"I think you know that's a lie," Mabel shot back.
"UGH! Fine," Jenna acquiesced, "What do you want to eat?"
Mabel lays down leisurely on her side, propping her head up on her elbow.
"Well, what do you have, sweetheart?" she croaks.
"Just say pizza rolls," Jenna said throwing up her hands and sliding her chair back.
"It's always pizza rolls," she mumbles as she walked toward her mini fridge.
As she pulls out the plastic pouch filled with the frozen squares, she can hear her computer volume go up. The dance music she had been playing as background noise now fills the room. She bops to the beat as she sticks the pizza rolls into the microwave and sets the time. When she turns around, she sees Mabel on her desktop dancing with the mini mannequin Jenna bought for her intro to drawing class last semester.
Jenna watches Mabel for a second or two before the older woman notices her audience. Instead of being embarrassed, she lets the mannequin drop and turns to Jenna, slips into the first moves of the Macarena, and is clearly indicating Jenna should join in. With a sigh, Jenna joins in and has completed at least 5 rounds of Macarena before realizing its getting really late, and she has in a few hours.
She slumps back into her chair and begins rereading what's she's already written. Mabel starts slides over, drapes herself over Jenna's arm, and started to recreate the beat of the song they had been dancing too.
"Are you going to let me finish the shit ton of homework I have to do?" Jenna asked.
"Language!" Mabel reprimanded, "And only if you get me out of this room tomorrow. I'm getting cabin fever, or Stockholm syndrome, or something else that sounds like a horror movie title."
"I'll take you out with me tomorrow," Jenna says, " Promise. I have a ton of errands to run and we can grab anything you need too."
"Deal," agrees Mabel.
With that she head back into her dollhouse, closing the front door gently behind her.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB says it generated N12 billion as income in 2017.
The registrar of the board, Ishaq Oloyede, said this at a press conference in Ilorin on Monday.
The registrar said the board remitted N7.8 billion to the Federal Government after deducting its expenses.
According to a report from The Punch, Mr. Oloyede said JAMB was able to remit the huge amount of money to the Federal Government because it blocked loopholes and checked wastage
He said although JAMB is not a revenue-generating agency, it is also not a money-wasting establishment.
Mr. Oloyede said 1.7 million candidates sat for the last UTME, in addition to over 200,000 direct candidates, noting that the board expects two million candidates to sit for its 2018 examination.
"The board had also devised means to check unscrupulous activities of candidates who do multiple registrations by deliberately writing their names wrongly with the intention to claim the result of the one with the highest score and thereafter demand correction of the name claiming that the fault is not theirs," he said.
The board also said its findings showed that about 80 per cent of first class graduates of Nigerian universities scored below 200 in the UTME they sat for while applying for admission.
Mr. Oloyede said most of the first-class graduates from the nation's universities were not exceptional but merely scored average marks in their Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
He said the board took statistics of the first-class graduates across the nation's universities.
According to him, the findings showed that about 80 per cent of the graduates scored below 200 in the UTME they sat for while applying for admission to the university.
"There have been instances where candidates with poorer scores were dropped to less competitive courses but later crossed to the more competitive ones and emerged as the best during their graduation, in those courses", he said.
He said the cut-off mark that JAMB put at 120 for 2017/2018 admission was a benchmark for admission of candidates and not a score for automatic admission.
"Some affiliated institutions were urging reduction of cut-off marks adopted by their parent universities. The affiliates had approached the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, to ask JAMB to prevail on the universities to reduce the cut-off marks. The affiliates were complaining that they were finding it difficult to get candidates to admit with the cut-off marks.
"Another technological means was devised to check cyber cafe operators from exploiting candidates who register for the UTME in their cafes while the Central Admission Processing System was introduced to ease processes of admission of qualified candidates", Mr. Oloyede concluded
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, is Nigeria's entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions.
The board administers similar examinations for applicants to Nigerian public and private universities, monotechnics, polytechnics and colleges of education.

How did you get here?
When I was an undergraduate at the University of California, Irvine, I became an intern at the Career Center there and loved learning about the services. Since I am originally from the Bay Area, I decided to move back home and to work at the University of California, Berkeley's Career Center.
What's cool about your job?
The coolest part is that I have the privilege of seeing students' experiences and helping them see value in themselves. Inspiring people to understand they have transferable skills that can translate from school into the working world means a lot to me.
What's the Best Career Advice Anyone Has Ever Given You?
My best advice came from a career counselor. She said, "When you're interviewing, remember you are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. With that knowledge, you are more likely to relax and to determine whether or not you are a good fit for the role." Before working at career centers, I had no idea that companies spend such a large amount of time interviewing candidates. Since we spend so much time at work, it is vital that we feel we can work well with the rest of our team to yield better results. For me personally, I found it does not matter so much as what I am doing versus who my team members are.

There are some common questions about baptism that we would like to give some answers to here for you to think over.
Every local church has a geographical area for which it is responsible. Baptisms would usually take place in your local parish church, or in the church where you normally worship. Hanley Team Ministry is divided into five churches and districts, and the maps on each church page shows you where they are placed. If you are not sure which district your home is in, contact the Revd Christine Broad, via the main 'Contact Us' page.
If you live outside a district, we can only arrange baptisms within the church in certain circumstances; for example if you were married there. If you do not live within the district or do not normally worship here we cannot baptise your child without the permission of your own parish priest. If you are not sure, please don't hesitate to contact us.
This will vary according to the church. Some of the churches have an 'All Age' service once a month which baptisms usually take place in for the whole church family to join in. In all cases, we encourage baptisms to take place within the normal Sunday service so that the church can join with the family in making promises and welcoming the child to the church family.
Baptism is the start of a child's journey with God and during the service you will make some decisions for your child. You will need to be able to answer the questions which the priest will ask in the name of the church. You will receive a special candle during the service and individual certificates for parents and godparents as a reminder of what you have promised.
Of course. And we would be delighted if you wanted to make this commitment. With adults however, we would expect to give instruction and Baptism would often be combined with Confirmation. Please have a talk with the minister of your local church.

Massive Phobia is a community of people dedicated to providing a safe space for anyone looking to challenge their current belief system. By using art and humor, we hope to be the friend that 'Gets You' as you battle Mental Health, Addiction, and Life. Through our blogs, and your own shared creations, the Massive Phobia community sees itself as a stepping stone to help others reach out for the help they need.
We've had many people ask us why we're using humor/art to tackle sensitive issues such as mental health/addiction and it's because we think laughter is the best medicine. Our site isn't for everybody, as many people might be in a place where they aren't ready to laugh. However, if you're here and reading something that's funny and it resonates with you to the point where you might feel less alone, then we feel that we're doing our job.
Everyone that writes for us battles the issue that they're writing about. They may be doing it from the perspective of a character they created to tell the story, but it is all very much personal stories as told through their chosen creative outlet.
You might not find everything on this website funny, or maybe nothing on this site will even make you crack a smile, and that's okay. We'll always strive to find something new that makes you feel safe here. We consider it an honor and a challenge.
We're building a community with baby steps, and part of that community involves projects that we want you to participate in as well. The collaborations aren't about being a good/bad artist in whatever medium you're participating in; it's about the therapeutic aspect of what the collaboration entails. The best art comes from being honest. And to us, the idea trumps all.
We're hoping that our collaborations and contests make you think outside of the box that you're currently in and that it propels you to seek the help you need if you haven't yet done so. And for those that are already seeking help for your issues, and maybe stuck or at a plateau in your progress, we hope that you begin to see things from different angles which can push you out of the rut you may be stuck in.
Most of all, we're happy you're here, and we can't wait to make more quirky things for you, and we can't wait to see what you make too.
We're grateful for all of you that make us a part of your lives.

France's foreign minister said Saturday he condemned the suicide bomb attack in a central shopping district in Turkey's largest city of Istanbul that killed at least four people.
"I strongly condemn this despicable and cowardly act that has caused the death of several people," Jean-Marc Ayrault said in a statement, adding that Paris stood in solidarity with Turkey.

That horizontal green line represents the current line in the sand that silver must overcome to have any chance of continued advances. Look at how many times since mid-November that silver has touched, or at least come close to that line...at least a dozen times by my count. The more times it touches the line, the more important that line becomes, for both the bulls and the bears.
We're at a point now where silver is going to make a decision because it can't linger here forever. It's either going to break up above that green line or it's going to start falling away which, in all likelihood, will mean a re-test of the $14.15 low from December 1. I'm not going to make a prediction here other than to say silver has been in a brutal bear market for three years and the path of least resistance has been down. A reversal of that trend would mean a positive breakout for silver, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Food Stamp Program Employment and Training (E&T) Program.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0339.
Summary of Collection: The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33), enacted on August 5, 1997, provided additional Federal Employment and Training funds for fiscal years 1998 through 2002, and targeted 80 percent of all Federal E&T funds to qualifying work activities for able bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs). Section 6(d) of the Food Stamp Act of 1977, as amended (the Act), and the food stamp regulations at 7 CFR 273.7 require, as a condition of eligibility, that each non-exempt food stamp household member age 16 to 60 be work registered by the State agency at the time of application and once every twelve months thereafter. Each State agency must screen each work registrant to determine whether to refer the individual to its E&T Program. Both the Food Stamp Act and regulations require States to file quarterly reports about their E&T Programs so that the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) can monitor their performance.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS will collect information using Form FNS-583, E&T Program Activity Report to ensure that the E&T Program is being efficiently and economically operated. If FNS were unable to collect, on a quarterly basis, the data necessary to oversee program operations, FNS could not fulfill this mandate, nor could it initiate timely, effective corrective measures to assure successful State agency program operations.
Description of Respondents: State, local, or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Quarterly; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 31,721.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: WIC Financial Management and Participation Report with Addendum.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0045.
Summary of Collection: The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) is authorized by Section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786), as amended. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of USDA administers the WIC Program by awarding cash grants to State agencies (generally State health department). The State agencies award subgrants to local agencies to deliver program benefits and services to eligible participants. State agencies complete the FNS-798 to comply with two separate legislative requirements. The FNS-798 captures the required data and serves as an operational plan for State agencies. FNS must continuously forecast and reevaluate State agencies' funding needs, make timely funding and other management decisions, and assist State agencies witn caseload and funds management. FNS needs the FNS-798A to determine if each State agency has met the statutory nutrition education and breastfeeding promotion and support minimum expenditure requirements found in 42 U.S.C. 1786(h)(3). The FNS-798A shows how much of each State agency's total nutrition services and administration (NSA) expenditures were made for nutrition education and for breastfeeding promotion and support activities.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS will use the information reported each month for program monitoring, funds allocation and management, budget projections, monitoring caseload, policy development, and responding to requests from Congress and the interested public. FNS also uses the data to determine if the State has met the 97 percent performance standard for food and 10 percent performance standard for Nutrition Services Administration.

Buenos Aires, Nov 26: Dozens of pole dancers have descended on the Argentine capital Buenos Aires for the 4th annual South American championship.
This year, for the first time since the start of the event, men were allowed to participate alongside female dancers.
The athletes from all over Latin America turned one of the city's main avenues into their own stage on Friday.
All along Corrientes Avenue they used street furniture and traffic signs as props from which they displayed their skills.
"It's a really nice event. It's the fourth year that this (event) takes place and it's great that people can get to know it," said Daniela, a pole dancer from Argentina.
This year's event includes 76 participants from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela.
On Saturday and Sunday the athletes competed for the chance to represent the region at the 2013 World Pole Dance Championship.
"It's the first time the event includes a male category and it includes many countries," said Brazilian dancer Carlos Franca, who said his country would be "well represented."
Art Dance Studio, the fitness company organising the event, said pole dancing is a great way to exercise, tone muscles and improve coordination.

A Description Of The Courses You Can Take At Psychology Schools A Description Of The Courses You Can Take At Psychology Schools December 12 Fabian Moreau Redskins Jersey , 2013 | Author: Girish Jaju | Posted in Education
If you are thinking of pursuing a career in the field of psychology, it is a must for you to have an idea about the different courses you can take before actually enrolling in or applying to your chosen psychology school. This is because like other kinds of schools, psychology schools offer an array of courses and subjects for students to choose from; and through having an idea about what courses and subjects they have, you would have a much easier time determining which ones would best prepare you for the work that you need to do in the field after graduating. Read on for a list of some the courses that are offered by most psychology schools today.
Physiological Psychology, or biopsychology or behavioral neuroscience, is one of the most fundamental courses that you need to take if you are planning to become a psychologist, as it would teach you about how the mind functions and how it affects an individual's behavior. A couple of the topics that are tackled in this course include the different physiological process and basic neuroanatomy.
Developmental Psychology: This is another essential course that you should take, as it teaches an overview of the development of the psychological makeup of an individual from the time he or she is conceived to the time he or she dies. Some of the things that you should be able to learn through taking this course include how genetics and the environment play a role in the psychological development of an individual and how the childhood experiences of an individual affect his or her behavior as an adult.
Another fundamental course that you need to take would be social psychology. Social psychology covers the study of social influences on the behavior as well as the interaction of groups and individuals. Through taking this course, you should be able to learn about topics like the bystander effect Ryan Anderson Redskins Jersey , leadership, and social pressure.
If you enrolled into a psychology school to become a psychologist, then you would also most likely need to take personality psychology, which is a course that covers the different theories of personality development including humanistic, Freudian, psychosocial, existential, and behavioral theories.
Abnormal Psychology: This is a course which covers abnormal behavior and the different factors which contribute to its development. It also teaches the diagnosis and assessment of individuals who have abnormal behavior or psychological disorders and the treatment options which are available to them.

Some Things That You May Find Out On Miami Elevators Some Things That You May Find Out On Miami Elevators June 9, 2013 | Author: Teri Farley | Posted in Customer Service
Every storied house should have means and ways of making people get to the last floor. Apart from the stairs Jonathan Allen Redskins Jersey , you may want to install Miami elevators to enable people access the floors of interest as fast as possible. In this way it will be very simple to get what you are in need of and it also saves a lot of time.
In order to enjoy the services of these systems, they must be installed by professionals whose skills are competitive. Some contractors may not fix these devices in the right way. This can result into serious complications as the building may even collapse. This implies that you have to find a reliable firm to do the work.
Popular companies will not disappoint you very much. This is because you expect them to have some experience on the job. New firms in this industry may not work well. As long as the staffs in the firm are highly qualified, you are unlikely to have issues. Technicians are supposed to be aware of the principle behind this system. In this way you will never have problems.
After installation, the elevator must be maintained so that it works efficiently. Such machines require regular inspection so that problems are detected early enough before they become obvious. Any system that lack proper maintenance measures cannot last longer. In order to minimize such cases, the company concerned with its fixation should pay regular visit to check the proper functioning of your elevator.
The amount of cash to be used while installing such a machine should be given some consideration. It is important to discuss with the firm of choice about the payment options. Certain firms will do this at a discount while others have high fixed costs. Clients are advised to go for services that they can easily afford without complaints.
Discover some details about such a firm so that you can analyze and make decisions. Reviews posted by the previous clients are very essential in making such decisions. Such opinions will give you a clue on which firm to hire. When the staffs are insured, then you are on the better side. This means that you are not supposed to pay for their medical expenses when they get injured during the work.
If you have decided to use this system, you should try to remain calm. It is important to wait for people ahead of you to get out first when you reach your destination. This implies that those who stay in front must come out before the ones behind. It shows some level of organization.
There is still some information on Miami elevators on their official website. In this case you can visit this site and read for yourself. Such information is available to anyone from any place. As long you access the internet, read these details. Buildings used for commercial purposes are supposed to have these systems to make the work easy. This is an investment that r.

Not too much wrong with Oliseh's calculated outburst
There's been a huge reaction to Sunday Oliseh's furious broadside at his critics on YouTube. The Nigera coach launched a fusilade that compares well with those from the likes of Kevin Keegan, Rafa Benitez and Giovanni Trappatoni.
It's been suggested by his critics who want him gone that the YouTube video should call his future int question. Oliseh is going nowhere and here's why.
First the Nigeria Football Federation can't afford to sack him barely seven months into a three year contract.. It wouldn't just be Oliseh who would leave as a new coach would want to bring in his own technical crew.
The current depths to which the oil price has sunk also means the Federal Government have greater priorities for their dwindling oil dependent income than indulging the whims of an organisation bankrupt in every way possible.
NFF president Amaju Pinnick has also very firmly staked his colours to Oliseh's mast and will defend his appointment until or of it threatens his own position.
It was certainly brave of Oliseh to go on the offensive, given the availability of two French candidates for his job in Claud LeRoy and Herve Renard. They also happen to be two of the biggest names in the African coaching fraternity. Veritable superstars with experience and winning ways.
Were Oliseh's comments that bad? He said his critics are insane. Are they? Is he wrong about CHAN? When you scratch beneath the surface of paranoia there are huge swathes of truth to digest and Nigerian foofball is not so good at looking in the mirror.
"Now it's the time to attack," an infuriated Oliseh said on YouTube.
"The usual critics have brought out their fangs again.
"I'm addressing this constant insanity, this is madness that has befallen some of our critics. You must be insane to ask questions on the future of the Super Eagles because we lost CHAN.
"With all due respect, CHAN is the least important tournament organised by CAF, and it is a tournament which weighs on the strength of the various leagues and you can see how far DR Congo and TP Mazembe have done.
"What then should be done to the coaches of Ghana, South Africa and Egypt, who did not qualify for this tournament?
"This insanity each time the Super Eagles lose, these critics go on air and start seeking the future of the coach. This is madness!
"They did the same thing when we lost to DR Congo, which was a friendly game. They were asking questions if this was the right person to lead the Super Eagles.
"We lost to Guinea, and this comes after a 10-game unbeaten run, and they start this hullabaloo over the future of the coach of the Super Eagles."
Oliseh is so right about CHAN. Before reaching the final with Keshi two years ago, Nigeria had failed to qualify for the tournament. The country simply doesn't have the domestic based players to compete with the rich clubs or leagues on the continent. As soon as they can the best players want to leave the Nigeria Premier League and play abroad. The country pulls up no trees anymore in the African Champions League. Why then is Oliseh expected to perform miracles?
Despite the criticism, Oliseh maintained he was on course to qualifying the country for both AFCON 2017 and the 2018 World Cup.
"We're on track to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations and we have qualified into the pool stage for the World Cup," he said.
"This is the 14th game I have been in charge as coach and we have lost only two and only one official game.
"So, where is this failure that some people are trying to sell to Nigerians?
"Unless for coach Sunday Oliseh and his crew to be successful, they have to win all their matches. Jesus Christ! Even the world champions Germany are not doing that.
"Talk less of us who are a brand-new team we are building for some months now –the team to CHAN have seven players who are certainly leaving our shores to play abroad, two have already signed.
"I'm proud of what we have achieved with the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Nigerians are happy, there is so much team spirit, it is now interesting to watch the Super Eagles."
There has been much talk of an Oliseh apology. I actually think there was nothing to apologise for. I don't think this was a rant but a calculated outburst in the main by a calculating individual who wanted to let people know what is what.
Now the "Pep Guardiola of Africa faces Egypt in a double header next month as they continue their bid to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
It's this battleground that will decide whether Nigeria remain amongst the continent's also-rans or are climbing back up to the summit where they feel entitled.

A Young Man Learned He Had Testicular Cancer from a Pregnancy Test.
A young man from Ontario, Canada took a pregnancy test his former girlfriend left as a joke and was shocked to find out he was going to be a mother. Thinking it was hysterical, his woman friend posted his experience in the form of a comic strip on the website "Reddit" under a funny name. The posting resulted in numerous comments, some warnings. One particular warning urged him to get checked out for testicular cancer. What? Testing for testicular cancer with a pregnancy test?
Fifty Types of Cancer Added to the Victims of 9/11 Twin Towers Illnesses.
And all fifty types of cancer will be covered by the federal government, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety. The 9/11 health plan is geared especially toward the responders and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attack through what is called the World Trade Center (WTC) health program. For years, firefighters, construction workers, police officers and office cleaning personnel have lobbied to add cancer to the list of illnesses covered by the plan. And clearly, the lobbying paid off, as 50 types of cancers have been added to the list of illnesses post-911.
Study Shows Tanning Booths Cause Skin Cancer.
A new 2012 study has revealed that over 170,000 cases of skin cancer strike indoor tanners each year. The tanning bed cancer is called non-melanoma and is the most common type of skin cancer that affects Americans. While not a fatal form of cancer, this type of skin cancer can disfigure.

Slim Pickings in the Oil Patch
05/07/2007 12:00 am EST
Focus: COMMODITIES
Peter F. Way, editor of Block Traders' Oil & Gold Monitor, says there aren't many bargains left among energy stocks but mentions a few he finds attractive.
It is getting harder to find attractive energy stocks, and they tend to be less promising than earlier in the year when they were attractively priced. But a few opportunities still remain.
The independent refiners are at present profiting far more than they have in the past, mainly from a shortage of refining capacity and the resulting widening of the difference between crude oil prices and refined-product prices. In the trade that gap is known as the "crack spread," referring to the catalytic cracking process that is used to refine crude into gasoline, heating oil, and other products.
Wider crack spreads also profit the major integrated producers, but the effect is intensified in the independent refiners, where it is their principal source of profits. The best-priced refiners at this point are Holly (NYSE: HOC) and Tesoro (NYSE: TSO). Both have currently attractive prospects and strongly advancing trends in stock prices and expectations. (Holly traded just above $63 and Tesoro changed hands at around $116 Monday—Editor.)
Another group of oil patch participants without reserves is the oilfield services and transport companies. They prosper when crude prices are high because their activities have even greater value to the production arms of the integrated companies and the independent producers.
Prime opportunity prospects from the oilfield services group are World Fuel Services (NYSE: INT), Tenaris (NYSE:TS) and Superior Energy Services (NYSE: SPN). The oil transporting community is primarily an ocean tanker trade where experiences can vary widely. Right now the prospects for Ship Finance International (NYSE: SFL) also appear to be strong as appraised by the volume market-makers for its stock. (World Fuel changed hands at around $47 Monday while Tenaris sold at $45; Superior traded at between $36 and $37, and Ship Finance was at a new 52-week high just north of $30—Editor.)
The alternative energy fuels business, like the major integrated oils, looks like its near-term future is pretty fully anticipated by current prices. One possible exception is Cheniere Energy (AMEX: LNG) whose facilities to handle a growing volume of ocean-transported liquefied natural gas have supported excellent stock price growth in the past. The stock's ability to continue attractive growth appears to have caught up with its past outstanding price rise, and now more growth seems to be in sight. (It traded at $33.65 Monday—Editor.)

The Outsider
"The atmosphere of the existentialist outsider is unpleasant to breathe. There is something nauseating, anti-life, about it: these men without motive who stay in their rooms because there seems to be no reason for doing anything else. It is essentially an adult world, this world-without-values. The child's world is altogether cleaner; the air tastes of expectation. A big store at Christmas time is a new world. For the sick soul, the man outside, this 'new world' produces a feeling of horror; it is a symbol of a mechanical civilization that runs in grooves like a gramophone record, precluding freedom."
Colin Wilson
