The biggest NFL Draft story out of Georgia might have been Division II West Georgia's defense.
The Wolves had two players drafted — Dylan Donahue in the 5th round and Alex Armah in the 6th round — and three other defensive players signed free agent contracts.

I remind Senators that a Senator may speak only once on Report Stage except in the case of a proposer of an amendment who may reply to the discussion on it. Each amendment must be seconded on Report Stage.
Aer Lingus Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
I move amendment No. 1:
In page 4, line 25, after "Exchequer" to insert "Capital Budget".
I will withdraw this amendment having reflected on it. I will not pursue it on this occasion.
I appreciate the Senator's amendment. As I said on Committee Stage, I would like it if all the capital budget for an area of transport could be ring-fenced for capital benefits, but unfortunately the Department of Finance has informed me that the Senator's amendment would not cover that in the first place, much as I would prefer to accept this type of amendment if it was to set a precedent. However, it is not acceptable in the long term. Such funds will be recorded as a capital asset, but I do not know where they will go after that.
I move amendment No. 2:
In page 4, to delete line 36 and substitute the following:
"(a) issue shares in accordance with the Companies Acts as part of one or more than one employee shareholding scheme, and shall be deemed always to have had the power to issue such shares, and".
The subject of this amendment deals with the main substance of the debate on Committee Stage, in which members of all parties participated. I wish to pick up on a few points the Minister of State made then. He indicated he would raise the matter with the Minister of Transport to enable him to discuss it with his Government colleagues. Have there been developments in that regard?
Provided that everything goes according to plan and the Bill is finalised today, I am sure it will be enacted quickly. The Minister said that the trustee is anxious that the Bill be enacted as soon as possible so that the ESOP can subscribe for the additional shares with a view to making allocations immediately thereafter, thereby ending the accumulation of levers without share allocations. Notwithstanding the above, the trustee has not formed any definitive view on whether a change of the rules is appropriate. Can the Minister of State specify a timeframe as to when the ESOP will subscribe for the additional shares once the Bill is passed?
Is the amendment seconded? If it not, it will fall.
I can answer the Senator's point by saying that once the Bill is passed the trustee can proceed without delay to the next step, if necessary. As regards my colleagues in the Department, we do not foresee any major objection in this regard. A problem that may arise is one of human nature in terms of whether people will want to go ahead with the share issue. That will be a matter for them and it will come under the previous legislation.
With regard to the Senator's amendment, I had intended to repeat what I said on a previous occasion. I understand from what position the Senator and Fine Gael are coming. While it would not be a problem to proceed in this regard under the Companies Act, the Senator rightly pointed out that there is a provision under the Air Companies Act 1966 which we did not foresee could be a problem but which the Senator did. The purpose of this legislation is to clear the decks to ensure that we can proceed in this regard and to ensure that the 1966 Act will not impinge on that.
I call Senator Dooley. The Senator must formally second the amendment if he wishes to speak on it.
I am not in a position to second it other than to say——
Therefore, the amendment falls and there can be no further debate on it.
I thank the Senators who spoke on this Bill. I welcome the amendments to it, whether tabled by Members in the other House or by Members in this House, as they gave rise to different debates. If an amendment is tabled in the other House, people may question why a similar amendment should be tabled here, but there is a different point of view in the Seanad. I respect the views of the Senators who spoke on the Bill and tabled amendments to it. I particularly want it to be recognised that we are trying to get this legislation through the House to ensure that a new dawn can begin in this area. I appreciate the co-operation of the Opposition parties in that regard.
I thank the Minister of State and his officials for their courtesy and help during the last few weeks when we debated this important Bill. Fine Gael accepts that the option of privatisation should exist for Aer Lingus. We must acknowledge that it almost went bankrupt in the past ten years. We must also accept the global realities in the airline industry and take account of other state airlines that have gone bankrupt in the last while. That does not necessarily mean that Fine Gael is telling the Minister to immediately privatise the airline. That would be an important decision and the Minister would have to weigh up all the options before doing so.
The Seanad proved its worth in the past few weeks. When this Bill was going through the Dáil, we raised the rights of the workers who left Aer Lingus in the period between December 2003 and March 2004. While we might not have solved that matter, we brought it to the attention of people and perhaps that will ensure those workers will get their full entitlements.
I hope Aer Lingus has a successful future. We have praised Willie Walsh in the past for the work he has done, but I am not happy with some recent developments, particularly in regard to pilots. I am aware that my colleague, Senator Dooley, is not happy about some developments in regard to Shannon. Perhaps we need to have a more balanced debate at this stage and to revisit the issue of the future of Aer Lingus on another day, although not necessarily in this context.
I have brought the Department's attention to an issue with which I am concerned, and I am aware that it is actively working on it. I look forward to its reply in due course.
I welcome the passing of the Bill. I recognise what Senator Browne said, particularly in regard to some of the issues raised. There were delays associated with the passage of the Bill, which have had an impact in terms of those who signed the letters of commitment and whether they would be part of the ESOP at a later stage. I refer to those who have taken voluntary redundancy or those who had retired as part of the natural progression. Those concerns were raised by Members on all sides of the House. The Minister's comments on the last occasion were welcome.
The Minister and I met a group of workers from Aer Lingus last Friday while he was in Shannon. The issues he raised and the approach the Department has taken in terms of the resolution of this matter was widely accepted by the workforce. There is still some concern that because this is open to only those members who are now part of the company or who will ultimately be part of the ESOP that the natural element of greed has the capacity, if a ballot is taken by the trustee which in all likelihood it will be, to exclude at a later stage those who have accepted voluntary redundancy under some of the current programmes or who have retired. The Department and the Minister are anxious to see this issue resolved in a manner satisfactory to all parties and I hope the Department will continue to work with the trustee and the company to ensure a resolution.
The passage of this Bill will allow Aer Lingus to move forward with its plans. Senator Browne mentioned Aer Lingus's commitment to Government policy in respect of balanced regional development and the necessity for the company to maintain a strong base at Shannon Airport. This should be not only a base but an access point, particularly for transatlantic flights. While this is tied up in many other issues in the context of the open skies programme, there is a huge awareness across the region, in evidence at a recent public meeting in Shannon, of the necessity of a transatlantic connection to the west. It provides the cornerstone for Government policy on regional development.
Despite the fact this Bill sets out certain measures and mechanisms through which the circumstances might change, Aer Lingus must recognise it is still a State company and must deliver on Government policy. The Government has taken a strong approach to decentralisation, which I hope Aer Lingus recognises. I also hope the centralised approach which appears to be the company's policy will be halted. In that context, I welcome the Minister's approach and involvement as shareholder. I will not elaborate on this issue because we are concerned with the passage of this Bill.
I thank the Minister of State for giving his time in the House and for his openness and assistance in our understanding the provisions of the Bill through his detailed explanations. I also thank the officials who have been most helpful in identifying and explaining to us the thought process behind different elements of the Bill. I thank my colleagues, Senators Browne and Wilson, for their assistance in this regard.

Webinar: Optimising HR's Business Contribution
In today's rapidly changing business environment, it's more important than ever for HR to be commercial, close to the business, and clearly aligned to business strategy. However, the reality for many organisations is that HR is often disconnected from business priorities, and HR's contribution to critical strategic and commercial objectives is not always clear.
During the webinar, we explored the current state of the HR function, the role HR should play in helping develop and execute strategy, and how HR can become more business relevant. Together with Karen Ward, Andy Newall, Angus MacGregor and Mike Haffenden we examined the following questions:
What is the current state of the HR function?
Where are the current strengths and where is HR falling short?
What role should HR play in helping to develop and execute business strategy?
How can HR become more business-relevant?

Prognosis Negative
.477 winning % and a negative run differential with a 3-7 record in their last ten games. Hey, at least there is the Wild Card, right? Not so much. 7.5 games out of the Wild Card and six teams to leap frog versus three to leapfrog over for the division. The Phillies have an OPS+ of 107 and an ERA+ of 113 versus the Mets OPS+ of 97 and ERA+ of 96.
Last year, the Mets had an OPS+ of 107 and an ERA+ of 100 versus the Phillies OPS+ of 111 and an ERA+ of 97. Ten teams have been more proficient at hitting this season with only the Dodgers, Rockies, Giants, Padres, and Nationals being worse. Nine teams have been more proficient in regards to pitching this year with only the Padres, Marlins, Astros, Nationals, Pirates, and Rockies being worse.
Basically, things are not looking good and there really is no indication that things will be getting better and there is no reason to think the Mets are any better than the Phillies at this point in time and not in the near future. To think everyone will have an awakening and become the team everyone thinks they should have been, seems a bit naive at this point and I apolgize for being optimistic in the face of such mounting evidence. It is ugly. Very ugly.
"I'm feeling like it's very sore to walk," Alou said.
The 41-year-old left fielder would like to be active when the Mets begin a three-game series in Anaheim next week - Alou could be the DH in an AL park - but also knows his team needs healthy bodies for the weekend.
"I can't hold Omar [Minaya] and Willie [Randolph] to be a player short to see if I'd be able to [DH]," Alou said.
Who cares...let him hang around to DH. His bat then will be more valuable at that point than whatever they replace him with in the short term.
I am not ready to lambast Omar just yet and everyone cannot have it both ways. Didn't everyone WANT Johan? Gomez, Guerra, Humber, and Mulvey make things look better in terms of the farm system that people have been ripping him for, but then no Johan. As for the draft, it seems he is being capped by management to stay within slotting. Sure it is his job to convince them to do otherwise and he has failed at that, but he is still being restricted.
Also, he screwed up with some of his drafting by picking college relievers too early, but signing Beltran, Pedro, Wagner, and Alou hurt them bad as well. However, three of the four were necessary and you could easily say the Alou business was a colossal waste and a pick would have been better, but not the others. Has he REALLY killed the system? Looks to me like he had little choice. You can fault him for not persuading management to say fuck slot, but I simply cannot kill him for that.
As for some trades, the Bell deal was bad as was the Lindstrom deal. The Bannister deal was a league average pitcher jettisoned off, but he would be welcome these days. If you are going to hang the season on those deals, then you are missing some greater issues. His better moves (Duaner, Maine, and Perez) far outweigh the bad ones.
Delgado was a stud and had a 161 OPS+ before they got him and had a 131 OPS+ in year #1 and now Omar is an idiot for getting him? As bad as he was in '07, he had an OPS+ of 103 which is not terrible. Not many predicted this precipitous of a fall. He depended too much on El Duque? He picked him up for peanuts. The Castillo deal was a joke for sure, but he can be an expensive back up if they want to bite the bullet.
Overall, who would have done something differently? Adding Bannister and Bell help, but I do not remember people crying too much at the time of the deals. Fact is, Omar's moves did not work out in all cases, but he has done more good than bad and many of these deals are defensible. He should be on notice, but I think he should get another chance and the easiest and best thing to do is get rid of Willie. He doesn't get it and doesn't get how to manage and effectively use his players.
What goodwill has he built up? He has proved to be an inept manager from day one and has not built up any goodwill in my eyes. I have no real solution as to who to bring him, but anyone would be better by simply being different.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone finance officials are examining ways of delaying parts or even all of a second bailout program for Greece while still ensuring it avoids a disorderly default, several EU sources said on Wednesday.
The delays could possibly last until after Greece holds elections expected in April, they said, although it depends to what extent Greek political leaders make firm commitments on further spending cuts and labor reforms unpopular with voters.
While most elements of the package, which will total 130 billion euros, are in place, some euro zone finance ministers are not satisfied that all Greece's political party leaders are fully behind the reforms and so want legal guarantees.
It is also not clear that Greece's debt-to-GDP ratio, which currently stands at around 160 percent, will be cut to 120 percent by 2020 via the agreement, as demanded by the 'troika' of the European Commission, IMF and European Central Bank.
"There are proposals to delay the Greek package or to split it, so that an immediate default is avoided, but not everything is committed to," one official briefed on preparations for a euro zone finance ministers call later in the day told Reuters.
"They'll discuss the options," he said, adding: "There is pressure from several countries to hold off until there is a concrete commitment from Greece, which may not come until after they've held elections."
Under the "split" proposal, a debt swap agreement between Greece and private sector Greek bondholders could go ahead.
The process, which aims to cut Athens' debt burden by 100 billion euros via banks and insurers taking losses, was supposed to begin on Friday but is now likely to begin next week, depending on the outcome of talks among euro zone finance ministers in the coming days.
If successfully completed, the swap would allow Greece to meet a 14.5 billion euro bond redemption payment on March 20, which if missed would result in default.
But the bulk of the 130 billion euros bailout would be held back as leverage over Athens.
The euro slid to its lowest in more than a week against the dollar in response to the Reuters report and safe-haven German Bund futures rose to session highs.
Greece's conservative party leader Antonis Samaras, widely tipped as the country's next prime minister, pledged in writing that if elected he would stick to an agreed program of welfare and job cuts - a commitment demanded by euro zone ministers before they would agree to the new bailout.
"It is fair to say that my patience has run out," Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager told U.S. National Public Radio. "We have to see the evidence of implementing the measure into law and just promises are not enough, not anymore."
One senior euro zone diplomat said the pressure being applied on Athens to meet its commitments seemed to be working, and suggested that as long as that held, more radical proposals for re-examining the second package may not be necessary.
"With every small piece of news that we get from Athens, the situation is becoming better. Whether it will hold all the way through, we can't know. They'll have to discuss that tonight and come back to it on Monday, I imagine."
Germany, Finland and the Netherlands are the countries pushing to delay the package, two other officials said, with Germany the most adamant and suggesting that final approval should only be granted after new elections are held.
Euro zone finance ministers began a conference call at 1600 GMT to discuss how to proceed. The call replaces a face-to-face meeting that was cancelled late on Tuesday because Greece had not provided sufficient commitments from its side.
Asked whether the package could be split, a spokesman for the European Commission said it was not yet decided.
"Up until now in the discussions, this has always been treated as an entire package," Amadeu Altafaj, spokesman on economic and monetary affairs told reporters, adding specifically on the private-sector portion:
"Up until now, that's never been separated out. Now what will happen tonight, I don't know, I can't pre-empt that. But that's certainly the logic we've been following so far."
One major problem with splitting the package is whether private holders of Greek bonds would be willing to sign up to a swap if Greece's financing, which makes up the bulk of the second package, is not in place, since that would mean the state might not be able to meet future bond payments.
As a result, one euro zone source said it was possible that the entire second package - the private sector portion and the remainder - could be delayed until after Greek elections, when everyone hopes for greater clarity and commitment.
"This would mean we have to pay the 14.5 billion euros on March 20, which would be a total waste," said the euro zone source, who took part in discussions among deputy heads of euro zone finance ministries on Tuesday.
"But there is still money left from the first program so we could do it," the source said, referring to Greece's first, 110 billion euro bailout program, agreed in May 2010. "This would mean that the talks on the second program, including PSI (private sector involvement), which is part of the package, would be moved until there is a new Greek government in place."
The frustration expressed by Germany, the Netherlands and others, reflected in the proposal to delay the rescue package, is in part designed to put political pressure on Athens. But officials say it is also genuine and a sign that patience is wearing thin after two years of trying to sort out Greece.
Data from Athens on Tuesday showed the economy shrank 7.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011 on an annualized basis, making it all the harder for Greece to meet its debt targets. One official estimated that Greece's debt-to-GDP ratio may only fall to 140 percent by 2020 given the latest figures, way above the targeted 120 percent.
For now, the central aim of euro zone finance ministers remains to push ahead with the second package as agreed last October, which would mean signing off on PSI in the coming week, possibly at a Eurogroup meeting set for Monday.

Cost of renting FALLS for the first time in over a decade – how to haggle with your landlord
The fall has been driven by a drop in the number of households renting and a slowing down of rental price hikes
RENTERS paid a combined £59.1billion during 2018, which is the first time in over a decade that the country's total rental bill has shrunk.
Across Britain, the total rental bill of £59.1billion for private tenants was £1.9billion less than in 2017 when it stood at £61.billion.
According to estate agent Hamptons International, this is the first annual fall since its records started in 2008.
It says the fall has been driven by a drop in the number of households renting and a slowing down of rental price hikes.
This rental slowdown has in turn been caused caused by low wage growth, meaning tenants simply can't afford any rent rises.
The only areas of Britain to see increases in the total rent bill over the past year were the East Midlands and the North East of England - everywhere else saw a fall.
How to haggle with your landlord and bring down your rent
HERE'S how to cut the cost of your monthly rent:
1. Know your rights - If an agent is asking you to pay fees that aren't listed on its site, threaten to tell the Property Ombudsman. Estate agents are required to display their fees on their website.
2. Ditch the middleman - A sure fire way of avoiding letting agent fees is ditching them altogether and dealing directly with the landlord.
There are sites such as OpenRent, SpareRoom and Gumtree which link private landlords with tenants, bypassing letting agents, so renters won't have to pay any fees.
3. Come to a fair agreement - When you first sign your tenancy agreement with your landlord your rent should be agreed either in writing or verbally.
To increase your rent your landlord must send you a section 13 notice which gives you a month's notice in writing telling you how much your rent will be increased by and the date when your rent will go up.
At this stage you should try to talk to your landlord and come to a fair agreement on how much rent you should pay.
Your landlord can only raise your rent if you agree to the increased price.
4. Haggle - Matt Hutchinson, communications director for flatsharing website SpareRoom.com says that if you are a good tenant then you've got bargaining power.
"The first thing to bear in mind is that demand is lower at the moment than over the past couple of years.
"That means you've got a bit more bargaining power, especially if you've been a good tenant, as your landlord won't want the expense and hassle of having to find another tenant and even potentially face a period with the property empty.
"Failing that, it's worth seeing if you can get anything thrown in with a rent increase, such as minor bits of redecorating or any bills."
Landbay has a free rent check service to see how much rent you should be paying in your area.
See How to challenge a rent hike for more information on your rights.
London saw the biggest decrease, with renters in the capital paying a combined £20.6billion - £620million less than in 2017.
But it's a different story when you look at how much renters have paid over the past 10 years.
Since 2008, every region in Great Britain has experienced an increase in rent.
The biggest rise in the amount of rent paid by tenants was in London, where the total rental bill grew by £10.53billion over the 10-year period.
Wales has seen the smallest rise in the total amount of rent paid by tenants over the last decade, up by just £70million in comparison.
And while the cost of rent has been stalling - average rents across Great Britain rose by 0.6 per cent in 2018 compared to 2.4 per cent in 2017 - Hamptons warns that, in the capital, rents are starting to rise again.
Aneisha Beveridge, head of research at Hamptons International, said: "Over the last 12 months rental growth in Great Britain has slowed.
"The slowdown over the last year was mainly driven by London, but rents are now gradually starting to rise again in the capital.
"Meanwhile the South East and South West both recorded falling rents last month."
More on renting
Today's news comes as1million more young adults live with parents than 20 years ago as they can't get their own home.
Meanwhile, a letting fee ban could push up rents for tenants by more than £100 a year.
This comes on top of the £154million renters currently pay in tenant fees.

We are no longer accepting applications for this position.
WAY Media, Inc. is the parent company of the WAY-FM radio network, a nonprofit radio and digital media ministry headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO. Its mission is to influence this generation to love and follow Jesus through culturally-relevant media by being Uplifting, Upbeat, Real.
WAY-FM was founded in 1987 by Bob & Felice Augsburg with a single station in Ft. Myers, Florida. Today, WAY-FM is in 35 markets in twelve states, with 23 full power FM stations and 15 translators. Their latest acquisition in Dallas signed on in October 2015. They have a major digital presence on the Internet and are expanding their reach overseas as well. There are 90 full-time and 20 part-time employees, with an annual operating budget of approximately $14 million. The organization is still led by Bob Augsburg – who has announced his retirement effective later this year – and by Lloyd Parker, COO for the past 11 years, and Faron Dice, Chief Content Officer, who has been with the organization for 14 years.
WAY-FM broadcasts 24/7/365 and features unique, quality programming like The Wally Show during morning drive and Carlos & Joy in the afternoons. The Brant Hansen Show is also heard each weekday in the mid-mornings. Each market feels localized, although much of the network's programming originates out of their Nashville location. The messages are real, speaking honestly about not only the joys, but also the challenges and harsh realities of life … always providing hope and pointing people to the source of all hope, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Their 2020 Vision, launched several years ago, seeks to reach 10 million people around the world by 2020 – two million through terrestrial radio, 5 million online, and three million internationally. Their digital strategy includes iOS and Android apps, interactive online streaming, unique digital programming from Power FM (an edgier rock format) and WAY New (featuring brand new music from both established and indie artists), the WAY Nation podcast, a content-rich website, relevant and consistent social media feeds and compelling, original video content. They also have a strong and growing international strategy in place.
WAY is blessed with a clear and compelling vision, and are very healthy financially, relationally and functionally. The staff also describes the organization as a fun place to work; the people are professional and there is a strong sense of unity around the mission. Their business model – local staffs ministering to local people in local ways – is working extremely well. Both listener support and gifts from their Business Impact Partners remain solid. There are plenty of very talented and committed people on the team, and stories of changed lives are heard from listeners nearly every day.
The big question that must be answered going forward is, "How do we survive and thrive in this ever-changing media landscape?" While their numbers are still strong and growing, it's really anyone's guess as to what the long-term future of terrestrial radio will be. WAY's emphasis is on quality program, on content creation and on undergirding their future with a strong digital presence. The new President & CEO will play the key role in addressing these challenges.
So what is the ideal candidate doing right now? Perhaps they're a senior director or VP in digital marketing or sales at an agency or major media or broadcast company. Or they may be managing a large market radio station (either mainstream or Christian) or a small group of stations. They could be in a key leadership role at a network. Or they may be overseeing media or digital marketing at a large Christian nonprofit.
Wherever they are, they are leading. They're digital and social media savvy and are a lifelong learner. Terms like visionary, passionate, collaborative, innovative, well-networked, humble and a successful change agent describe them well. WAY's new CEO will play a key role in helping them move from being a radio ministry to being a 21st Century digital media company.

We reached new heights this week, as our first Drone took to the sky. Reaching a speedy 106mph (that's twice as fast as any other commercial drone), the prototype tore through the air after an impressive vertical take-off. Designed for enterprise and business, the drone was created by Aerosense, a joint venture with Japanese robotics start-up ZMP, which we announced a few weeks ago.
Aerosense plans to start offering services to customers in 2016. "By making it automated, drones will be considerably safer because many accidents today are caused by human errors" said Hisashi Taniguchi, chief executive of Aerosense and ZMP, at a news conference.
Speaking of exciting devices, take a look at our latest gadget. Is it TV a remote or is it a speaker? Actually it's both! The SRS-LSR100 wireless speaker has a full TV remote control on the top that will change channels and adjust the volume. It's perfect for those wanting to take TV audio around the home with them, as it connects to the telly via a 2.4GHz wireless connection. The speaker is also great for those with slight hearing loss, or if the family are being too rowdy in another part of the room, as the speaker can be used in the same place as the TV.
Along with great gadgets, we always want to bring you new experiences which is why we were ecstatic to introduce the launch of Lifelog's first partner card – Withings. You'll now be able to see Withings Smart Body Analyzer data (including body composition, high-accuracy weight and body fat measurements and Body Mass Index) in Lifelog.
This is the first of many partner cards that will add to Lifelog's already existing capabilities by introducing new data, creating more in-depth and innovative insights for users. Make sure you stay tuned as we get set to announce many more.
Lifelog is available for free download at the Google Play Store.
Finally, you may have noticed an exciting little post on our social channels this week. We're not allowed to say any more yet except that it's big… and you're going to want to stay tuned: 02/09/15 16:45 CET #SonyIFA

GEMERA is a crypto-token backed by Colombian emeralds that provides a mixture of secure digital assets managed by blockchain and physical Colombian emeralds stored in security vaults of safe deposit box companies. The Project offers an innovative and modern investment opportunity, more profitable, accessible, democratic and transparent, by connecting producers and investors through the advantages granted by the blockchain technology, producing in that manner win-win benefits for these two actors.
As GEMERA works hand in hand with emerald producers, it is also part of its politics to partner only with companies with good environmental practices in the extraction of gemstones and with corporate social responsibility standards that seek for the integrity of their workers and the communities nearby, helping them and other stakeholders to improve their quality of life and to open their path towards sustainable development. The project uses part of the project funds to achieve this purpose.
GEMERA has focused its efforts on the early stage of the project to create a model, along with gemologists and experts in fine Colombian emeralds, with all the necessary criteria to assess and determine the quality of the emeralds, in a clear and transparent manner. That way an investor does not need to be a great connoisseur in the emeralds field or hire expensive specialists when wanting to make an investment decision. In other words, GEMERA has a reliable method to guarantee the quality of the gemstones, as well as the adequate price according to the established criteria.

"As a community we felt regret that we hadn't taken care of him before this thing happened," said Mr. Kang, a friend of the school's founder. "We felt that someone should have taken care of him with God's help." According to the school, more than half of its students are Korean or Korean-American.
The gun that was used had been tossed into an estuary by Mr. Goh before he surrendered, the police said, and a search was under way to recover it.
One of those killed was Lydia Sim, 21, a nursing student who lived in Hayward, Calif., and was the eldest daughter of a delivery truck driver and a waitress, said her cousin Hannah Lee.
Ms. Sim's grandmother came from South Korea, and now three generations of the family live in the Bay Area. "She was a hard worker," Ms. Lee said. "She was a good, dutiful daughter to her parents and a loyal sister to her younger brother."
Like many Korean-Americans, Ms. Sim and her family centered their social lives on their church. They were active in the Hayward Korean Baptist Church, and they were first alerted about the shooting by a pastor there, Ms. Lee said.
"She grew up in the church," said Ms. Lee of her cousin. "She loved God and her family. She was very active in the church."
The authorities were trying to piece together the events that might have led to the shootings. Officer Johnna Watson, a spokeswoman for the Oakland police, said the handgun used in the attack was bought legally by Mr. Goh this year.
Mr. Goh told the police that he had gone to the school looking specifically for the administrator. Not finding her, he took another school official hostage and took her into the nursing classroom, Officer Watson said.
He ordered the students to line up against a wall, but before they could he started shooting them one by one, Officer Watson said. Six women and one man were killed. Mr. Goh then went to other classrooms looking for additional victims before fleeing in a car he stole from a student, Officer Watson said.
It was not clear why he had sought the administrator.
"He was very upset," Officer Watson said. "He had been teased by his classmates because his English was not very good and that angered him; he says that made him very mad."
A school official who answered the cellphone of the school founder, Jong-in Kim, denied that Mr. Goh had been teased because of his poor English. More than half the student body has imperfect command of English, said the official, who asked not to be identified because the university had not authorized him to speak about the matter.
Last fall, Mr. Goh was involved in "minor things" with other classmates, the official said. But after the school looked into the matter, officials concluded that it was not serious.
"He wasn't showing any signs of violence or anything toward anyone," the official said. "He didn't show any mental illness. He seemed like a regular, ordinary guy. He was quiet."
Nevertheless, Mr. Goh dropped out of the school, the official said.
Though called a university, Oikos is a small institution with a few hundred students. The founder, Mr. Kim, established the school about a decade ago, changing its name a few times, said Nam Hong, the editor in chief of The Korea Times. Oikos means "house" in ancient Greek. Mr. Kang, the newspaper's president and founder's friend, said Mr. Kim had established the nursing school to support the school's department of religion.
The school is affiliated with the Praise God Korean Church, one of the many independent Korean churches that have mushroomed in the Bay Area, Mr. Hong said.
Mr. Goh's troubles at the school came after he had suffered from significant financial problems in Virginia, including an inability to pay his rent while he lived in Hayes, Va., in 2008 and 2009, according to a court employee and records at the Gloucester General District Court.
The owner of the Yorkview Apartments, where Mr. Goh had been renting an apartment for $575 a month since November 2007, filed a complaint against him eight months after he moved in. Mr. Goh had fallen two months behind paying rent, according to court documents.
In July 2009, about one year after that complaint was recorded, the authorities issued a criminal summons for back rent on the one-bedroom apartment, but Mr. Goh had apparently already moved out. When the authorities were unable to locate him, he was found in contempt of court in August 2009.
Mr. Goh, according to court records, also failed to pay a credit card bill to
What is more, Mr. Goh's brother, Su Wan Ko, 31, an Army sergeant, died in a traffic accident in March 2011 in Carroll County, Va., an Army spokesman said.
Sergeant Ko, a human resource specialist, had served in
After returning to the Bay Area, Mr. Goh appeared to have led an unsettled life. It was not clear where he lived, though he had registered his address in the same apartment complex where his father lives, Westlake Christian Terrace, a
Mr. Goh did not live at the complex, which is reserved for senior citizens, said the administrator, Janice Williams.
Nobody answered the door at the apartment belonging to Mr. Goh's father, Young Nam Ko. A neighbor, Norma Wesley, 86, said the father rarely ventured outside. "I never saw the son," Ms. Wesley said.
An earlier version of this article, in some instances, misspelled the surname of the accused shooter. It is One L. Goh, not Koh.

Intrauterine infection is infection within the womb, which, in the context of pregnancy, usually means infection of:
- the membranes that surround the baby
- the umbilical cord
- and/or the amniotic fluid.
Research suggests that intrauterine infection may be responsible for as many as 40 percent of preterm births, with higher rates in earlier gestations (very premature babies).
What is intrauterine infection?
The womb, amniotic fluid and the environment in which the baby develops can become infected with bacteria. These are usually natural bacteria that many women carry in the vagina or skin, which are harmless normally, but have migrated to parts of the body where they shouldn't be. The most common cause of intrauterine infection is through the vagina and cervix, but it can also come through the placenta, through the fallopian tubes or via invasive procedures such as amniocentesis.
Infections that could ascend to the womb include E-Coli and Group B Streptococcus (GBS), bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia, trichomona, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV.
If the infection reaches the womb it can cause the fetal membranes (membrane of the sac that surrounds a baby in the womb, also called amnion or chorion) to become inflamed and infected. This is called chorioamnionitis. If the umbilical cord is affected it is called funisitis.
What are the effects of chorioamnionitis?
This is an infection of the membranes of the sac that holds a baby and the waters, and usually occurs when an undetected infection progresses up into the womb from the vagina. The infection causes the membranes to become inflamed and this may in itself trigger preterm contractions. It could also cause the waters to break early (also known as preterm premature rupture of the membranes, or PPROM for short). The baby may need to be born soon to prevent a more serious infection.
Look out for these symptoms of chorioamnionitis:
- high temperature
- a foul-smelling vaginal discharge
- fast pulse rate
- pain in your abdomen.
If you have any of these symptoms, seek advice from your healthcare team as soon as possible as you may need treatment.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Often caused by the E-Coli bug, UTIs affect about five percent of pregnant women. In between one third and a half of those women, the UTI will travel up into the kidneys, causing acute pyelonephritis, a kidney infection that can cause premature labour and low birthweight. Watch out for these symptoms of UTIs:
- high fever
- nausea
- vomiting
- pain in your sides or lower back
- discomfort or pain when passing urine
- blood in the urine
If you have any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare team as soon as possible as you may need antibiotics.
Treatment for infections
It is not always easy to spot an infection; in the early stages there may be no obvious symptoms. If there is any indication of an infection, for example if you are running a fever, your healthcare team will test you with either a blood test or a simple swab.
If your waters break early (PPROM), you may be given antibiotic tablets as a matter of course, to reduce the risk of chorioamnionitis.
If the infection has progressed beyond a certain point, or if you are very unwell you may need to be admitted to hospital for intravenous antibiotics and in some cases the baby may need to be delivered. In most cases of PPROM, taking antibiotics helps to reduce the likelihood of chorioamnionitis, reduces the number of births happening within 48 hours of waters breaking, and reduces the chances of the baby developing an infection.

Slow draining
By Midwife @Tommys on 15 Apr 2019 - 15:10
For most women, if their waters have broken, they would leak constantly, particularly if they are upright and walking around. However, if you are worried that your waters have gone it is important to seek advice from your midwife or hospital team.
may be amniotic fluid

Checking for Uterine Infections
By Gia (not verified) on 19 Nov 2018 - 02:49
Hi. My first son was born with an IUGR diagnosis. I see that an uterine infection could have been a cause. My second pregnancy was lost early due to acute deciduitis and now I'm hoping to get pregnant again. Would I need to regularly check for infections during the pregnancy or do anything special ahead of time? Are there intervals at which this should be checked for? I had no symptoms the second pregnancy but did have a tooth infection the first that I wonder if it was the cause.

Baby slow growing
By Midwife @Tommys on 21 Sep 2018 - 11:17
Hi Shannon, If your baby is below the expected growth, your midwife will refer you for a scan. Measurement by tape measure is only a guide but if the measurement is 3 or more cm below the number of weeks, you will be referred. If you are concerned please talk to your midwife. Best wishes

OK, here's the powdery mildew (PoMi) update: I went out this morning and sprayed with a recipe suggested by Jill--a teaspoon of baking soda, a few drops of dish soap, suspended in a quart of H2O.
Curiously, the dish soap was the thing most recommended--even for the aphid treatment. (I remember my dad using dish soap on grass fungi infections with success.) The baking soda is supposed to change the pH on the leaf surface, and the soap (I'm guessing here, based on something John wrote) acts as a dessicant.
Sulfur was also recommended by Cheryl, as well as one of the websites on PoMi that I read. (Which also means that my garlic plants should be resistant to it, apparently.) However, dish soap seemed more readily at hand. I mean, sometimes University politics can be hell, but that doesn't mean that brimstone is just lying around for the taking...
So I went out and spritzed the heck out the plants, also liberally dousing my pepper plants to be on the safe side, even though they show no signs of it so far. As I was doing all this spraying, I noticed that my emotions had switched from disappointment (backyard farmer) to curiosity (scientist). Will this treatment work, or won't it? It's all data, you know...
Dang if I didn't feel almost cheerful, wanting to know what the results of the experiment will be.
Still a little p&ss*d about the butternut squash, though.
I'm looking for my manual for graceful living. I think I set it down somewhere over here...

Yeah, isn't it great?ReplyDelete
That witty little abbreviation, PoMi, is for Nancy, the ornithologist in the group...

In the United States, asphalt shingles are categorized as either organic-based or fiberglass-based. Organic-based asphalt shingles are manufactured with a base (also termed mat or substrate) made of various cellulose fibers, such as recycled waste paper and wood fibers. This organic base is then saturated with a specially formulated asphalt coating and surfaced with weather resistant mineral granules. Fiberglass-based asphalt shingles are manufactured with mat composed entirely of glass fibers of varying lengths and orientations. This fiberglass base is then surfaced with a specially-formulated asphalt coating, followed by weather-resistant mineral granules.
Typically due to the long-term effects of weathering, most homes in and around Franklin will need roof repair or replacing. If a residential roof is more than 20 years old, it is a prime candidate. To determine if you need a new roof:
Asphalt shingles can often be applied directly over existing roofing in Franklin, MA without the necessity of tearing off the old roof. However, new shingles cannot be properly applied over hard or brittle materials, uneven surfaces for nailing or roof decks with warped, rotted or unsound support that should first be replaced or repaired.
For roofing in Franklin, MA and surrounding areas, asphalt shingles are the perfect choice. Asphalt shingles are the leading choice for residential roofing in the United States because they provide quality, durability, versatility and economy. Over 12.5 billion square feet of asphalt shingle products are manufactured annually – enough to cover more than 5 million homes every year. 80% of homes are roofed with asphalt shingles.
Asphalt shingles offer the widest array of colors, shapes, and textures available. With an enormous range of styles, asphalt shingles can match nearly every type of architectural design, and achieve virtually any desired effect – and, affordably.
No problem:
Yes. Here they are:

...And with tornado season comes lightning. And my favorite
quote from Roger Swain, Victory Garden TV alum, in his book, Earthly Pleasures: Tales from a Biologist's Garden:
"My curiosity about lightning is tempered by my reluctance to
be electrocuted."
Nevertheless, there's
nothing like a good spring light show...

The past 24 hours has been a List of Firsts:
The first day of spring. The first spring snowfall. The first flock of
turkey vultures. The first butterfly landing on a beehive at the nature center. The first big day of garden cleanup--cutting
back the miscanthus grasses and raking up the debris from last fall. The first prairie fire--a conflagration that consumed
acres of dry phragmites, the flames jumping in the great gusts of wind. The first bumble bee. And the first pair of
wasps visiting the pansies--the first flowers to arrive at the local garden center. The first flat of flowers to make
it into my car.

Each winter, we cover up the birdbath outside the kitchen window and sprinkle a little seed out there for the
chickadees, bluejays, cardinals and sparrows. A suet feeder hangs nearby. The deer come by in the late
afternoon -- and sometimes during the day -- to check out the sunflower seeds. A tap on the window gets their
attention. Except, instead of being frightened, they think that's their cue for more grub.
