CLARKSDALE — Dr. Vivian Mathews Presley, president of Coahoma Community College for more than two decades, and the first woman to head a community or junior college in the state of Mississippi, will retire June 30.
Johnny McGlown, chairman of the board of trustees, says a search committee has been organized to name her successor. He says the application deadline is Feb. 22.
Presley was named president of Coahoma and superintendent of Coahoma Agricultural High School in Jan. 6, 1992. She had worked as a counselor, vice president for institutional advancement and executive vice president at the school.
The college has experienced a 200 percent increase in enrollment since the fall of 1992 and more than $26 million in facility renovations and new construction. The administration building is named in her honor.

He spent more time as WWF World Heavyweight Champion than any other wrestler during the 1990s, with a total of 654 days as champion, and was the first WCW World Heavyweight Champion born outside the United States. He is also a five-time WCW/WWE United States Champion, a two-time WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, and a three time world tag team champion (two-time WWF Tag Team Champion and one-time WCW World Tag Team Champion), thus making him the second WWF Triple Crown Champion and fifth (with Goldberg) WCW Triple Crown Champion, and the first man to win both the WWF and WCW Triple Crown Championships. Hart is also the 1994 Royal Rumble match winner (with Lex Luger), and the only two-time King of the Ring, winning the 1991 tournament and the first King of the Ring pay-per-view in 1993. Stone Cold Steve Austin, with whom Hart headlined multiple pay-per-view events as part of an acclaimed rivalry from 1996 to 1997, inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.

National Park Service
Yellowstone National Park
Al Nash (307) 344-2015
Yellowstone National Park Receives 2014 America's Best Idea Grant from the National Park Foundation
Yellowstone National Park is one of 39 national parks selected to receive a 2014 America's Best Idea grant from the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America's national parks.
Yellowstone will partner with Groundwork USA, a national network of non-profits working to transform community liabilities into quality neighborhood assets, and to engage residents in improving quality of life in their own neighborhoods.
Fifty-five Green Team youth and leaders representing 15 Groundwork USA Trusts will participate in one of two week-long programs at Yellowstone this August. Youth will participate in completing work projects such as the installation of bear-safe storage boxes in campgrounds, paint picnic tables, and work on trails. Other activities include sessions on leadership, sustainability, ecological relationships, stewardship, cultural heritage, and career development. Groups will have recreational opportunities to tour and hike the park.
"We were thrilled to receive a National Park Foundation grant this year," said Judy Knuth Folts, Deputy Chief for the Division of Resource Education and Youth Programs for Yellowstone. "In addition to completing important work at Yellowstone, the youth will complete a Yellowstone inspired project when they return to their home communities, meaning more people will hear about the park and the National Park Service mission."
Established by a unique federal interagency agreement, Groundwork USA Trusts work on the ground in distressed neighborhoods to achieve the mission and goals of the NPS Rivers and Trails Conservation Assistance Program, and the EPA Brownfields and Urban Waters Programs. Designed to serve diverse, disadvantaged youth, the national Green Team initiative is a conservation program that strongly emphasizes youth leadership, employment skills, resume-building experience and awareness of local and global environmental justice issues to steer the next generation of diverse conservationists into environmental and community development careers.
Inspired by Ken Burns' critically acclaimed documentary "The National Parks: America's Best Idea," this program builds partnerships between national parks and community, state, and other public organizations, and engages diverse audiences in meaningful and relevant ways with national parks and inspires participants to become stewards of our National Park System.

I have entered the world of superheroine comics! If I'd known it was this much fun, I would have gotten involved years ago.
Meet Katie Ashe, also known as Valkyria.
Here is a turnaround of the Valkyria costume. It was her mother's old Halloween costume. Katie is broke. The costume originally had a cape, but I discarded it. It was too difficult to make look right in dramatic poses.
Valkyria will be a superheroine story for mature readers. It will feature nudity, violence, foul language, sexual themes, social commentary, and occasional bloodshed. It will be more along the lines of Budd Root's Cavewoman and Dynamite's Red Sonja than anything released by Marvel and DC. Obviously, it will be composed of 3D renders. I can't draw.
I'm going to play Valkyria straight. As in, serious. That gives me a chance to comment on the world as I see it from my chair. It's also my natural bent as a storyteller, as it allows me to develop fully-dimensional characters and add emotional poignancy. Already, the first chapter is pretty serious and dark.
That doesn't mean it won't be funny. The humor will come from Katie herself, being inept and incompetent as a superheroine, and realizing the real world does not behave, or respond, like it does in a comic book. There are semis on those roads she's running on! With only one costume, she's spending half her pay at the laundromat. Meaning, she's making it up as she goes, often with chaotic results. Those chaotic results will include being stripped naked and tied up. Besides, her superlair is a backstreet hovel and her supervehicle is the city bus. This is one impoverished superheroine! Ralph Kramden is a lot funnier than Bruce Wayne.
It will be the same with the villains. Most were once decent folk who snapped because of the world they live in, and decided to turn against it by going evil – except they aren't very good at it. Being evil in real life isn't like it is in comics and movies. Trying to act like a comic book villain, in our world, only makes them look silly. If they succeed at all, it's out of dumb luck. The one thing they're good at is luring Katie, stripping her naked, and tying her up. There may be one or two who were rotten to begin with, and they will be the truly dangerous ones. Then, there will also be monsters.
I believe that humor is funnier, and more pointed, in a comic drama, than in a comedy. MASH was a comic drama, and the funny parts were more hilarious because they happened in a devastatingly unfunny situation. There is also great humor in the surreal, as in Monty Python's Flying Circus. But let's face it. How much more surreal can you get than being transformed into a metahuman in about two minutes by a being that shouldn't exist?
Katie will have allies, namely Katie's mom, her little sister, and her uncle Robert, who is her contact at Parthenon PD. Her step-father is just an asshole! There may be other superpowered allies as the series progresses, but I haven't though that far ahead yet. Right now, I have seven chapters outlined in my head, up through when Katie takes the name Valkyria. After that, like Aura has, Katie will tell me what happens.
And, of course, Katie doesn't really know what she's doing. Except attract cats.
Some days, Katie Ashe feels like she has a split personality. Between all the changing into "big" form to practice running, lifting, and jumping, and changing back into "little" form to carry on with her life, she's starting to see herself.
"Aw, man!" Big Katie whined. "Do I hafta wear a bra? Like I even need it when I'm you. And I hate glasses! There are benefits to being superpowered, you know."
"Screw you!" Little Katie snarled. "I have to go to work, and they won't recognize me if I show up looking like you, Gargantua! Until you … we … I start making some money at this superheroine gig, I'm the only one paying for this dump."
"You? Me? We? I am you. Oh, crap. I'm talking to myself! That's it, I'm blowing the tips at the liquor store!"
She should be more careful when she runs on the sidewalk.
She needs to remember to get undressed before changing out of her 5'0" "Little Katie" form into her superpowered "Big Katie" form.
I will leave you with a closeup of Katie's face.
Valkyria is going to be fun and exciting! I already have the first seven pages of chapter one completed. Other than DeviantArt, I'm not sure exactly where Valkyria will land for publication. Wherever it is, I'll let you know.

Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves spills all on his pioneering butt lift...
He has been nicknamed the 'Human Ken Doll' after spending over £373k on aesthetic procedures, to try and achieve the 'perfect' body image.
And Rodrigo Alves has now gone one step further in his quest, as he has become the first person to ever undergo a revolutionary 'Spider Web Butt Lift' in Istanbul, Turkey. The surgery performed by Doctor B- Bülent Cihantimur.
However, while the pioneering op marks his 57th surgery, Rodrigo exclusively explained to MailOnline that he has decided to withdraw his application to the Guinness World Records for the highest number of surgical procedures - as he does not think bettering appearance should be seen as a competition.

Serpentine Belt Service At Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton In Appleton
Posted in Parts on October 30, 2014
Don't you hate it when you hear that squeal from under the hood when you're zipping down a busy Appleton interstate? It usually means there is a problem with the serpentine belt. The serpentine belt powers a lot of engine accessories. It runs the alternator - which charges the battery; the water pump - which cools the engine; the air conditioning and the power steering pump. All pretty important parts. It is called a serpentine belt because it snakes around a bunch of engine components.
Serpentine belts are amazingly tough. They can last for years and go for tens of thousands of miles. Like all critical moving parts, however, they eventually wear out. If your belt breaks while you are driving around Appleton, everything will come to a halt within minutes. You need to stop the SUV immediately or it will overheat, potentially causing costly engine damage. You can be sure that it won't happen at a convenient time or place. (As if there was a convenient time or place!) You might even need to get your SUV towed to Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton. It's no wonder that vehicle manufacturers recommend a belt replacement on schedule. It's one of those "have-to's."
Appleton car owners who hear a squeal when accelerating or a slow, slapping sound at idle, should have their serpentine belt looked at. Your service professional at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton in Appleton will visually inspect your belt to see if it needs to be changed sooner than scheduled. If the belt has more than three or four cracks an inch, has deep cracks that penetrate half the depth of the belt, is frayed, is missing pieces or has a shiny glazed look, it needs to be replaced regardless of age or mileage.
Serpentine belt replacement is relatively inexpensive, especially compared with the cost and inconvenience of being stranded or getting a disabled SUV back to Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton for critical repairs.
You're mom was right: an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure.

Holly Tree Surgery, 42 Boundstone Road, Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey, GU10 4TGTel: 01252 793183
Welcome Dr Victoria Collins
The practice is delighted to announce that Dr Collins, who has been associated with the practice over the past 3 years, has been appointed as permanent new member of the practice team from 3rd April 2017.
Drs Adams, Elliott and Price are reducing their hours. There will be significant timetable changes as outlined below but the "on the day" walk-in surgeries will continue unchanged (8:30am to 10:00am and 3:30pm to 5:15pm Monday to Friday).
There will be a lot of variation until 8th May when the new timetable shown under "Opening Times" will be the norm. Dr Adams and Dr Price will work different days, alternating each week: week 1 and week 2 below. Drs Elliott, Colyer and Collins will work the same days each week.
It will take us 24 hours from registration before we are able to see you.
Please rate and review our surgery by visiting www.iwantgreatcare.org. Thank you.
We advise on and provide most current methods:
• Pills, both the combined pill (COC) and the progesterone only pill (POP)
• Barrier methods (including diaphragms)
• Injections of Progesterone (Depo Provera)
• Intra Uterine Contraceptive Devices (IUCDs)
• Sub Dermal Contraceptive Implants (Enplaning)
IUCDs are becoming very popular, especially as the Mirena is now used to lighten heavy periods even when contraception is not an issue. It is reducing the hysterectomy rate.
For initial advice on contraception either a nurse appointment or a consultation with your doctor is appropriate; whichever you feel most comfortable with. Follow up consultations are usually done by the practice nurses. If an IUCD or Enplaning is what you think you may prefer, please consult a Doctor.
Emergency contraception – the morning after pill is best taken within 24hours, but is very effective up to 72hours after the unprotected intercourse. This pill can also be purchased from any chemist shop (after consultatation with a pharmacist). This may well be more convenient. The pharmacist will charge a small amount for this service. An IUCD, of the copper variety, can be inserted up to 5 days after intercourse to prevent conception. Please do not delay: see a doctor or nurse in good time for advise on where this service is available.
[Link to local family planning clinic]
If you are planning a pregnancy please see the doctor or nurse for 'pre-conceptual' advice.
If you are pregnant please consult with your doctor to choose which hospital / place to have your baby. An appointment with the appropriate midwife will then be arranged.
Cervical smears are performed by appointment with the practice nurses.
Menopause issues can by discussed with the practice nurses. If HRT is required a doctor's consultation will be needed.
Breast lumps require a doctor's consultation.
If you have any health concerns please see your GP who will arrange for the relevant health checks if required.

Bike carrier kit
Doppelmayr developed an innovative bike carrier assembly specially for the transportation of mountain bikes. It is comprised of three main components: bike clip, clip carrier and bike stabilizer. The individual parts are made of high-quality aluminum and are ideal for transporting bikes with a wheel size of 24"–29" in combination with the special mountings. When the biker inserts the front wheel of the bike between the pivot-mounted upper arm and the rigid lower arm, the cradle is moved by the self-weight of the mountain bike, causing the bike clip to fix the wheel in position. The sturdy, sophisticated mechanism and design enable top safety and optimal comfort for the carriage of bikes and riders.
Suitable for bikes with the following specifications:
- Weight up to 25 kg
- Wheel size between 24" and 29"
- Tire width up to 12 cm
- Without fenders – MarshGuard possible
- Bikes are loaded and unloaded by the passengers, thus less personnel expenses
- High transport capacity possible as several bike clips can be fixed to the back of the chair
- Long service life
- Low maintenance
- First-class anticorrosion protection
- Space-saving storage of clips possible
- Also suitable for fat-tire bikes

Review: Beyond the Reach
The phrase "why won't you just die?" when uttered to the skies is the kind of normally cringe-worthy, outrageous dialogue that would plague most films but actually works in Beyond the Reach. It's a bare-bone, stripped-down tale of hunter and hunted set in the Southwestern dessert, and it's yelled at just the right time in this adventure.
When a reckless accident happens on an excursion into the desolate wilderness, the wealthy hunter Madec (Michael Douglas) looks to pin his tragedy on the young Ben (Jeremy Irvine). Initially starry-eyed, Ben soon realizes the horror in his situation, where it's one rich and powerful man's word against that of a nobody.
Instead of aligning himself with the lie, Ben stays defiant, and also puts his life in danger.
The movie seems to realize it is pushing the boundaries of believability, and uses both characters to balance a mood that runs from grave to absurd. When we follow Ben as he tries to survive, we find him burnt from the sun, bruised from the rocks, and covered in dust. He is grasping to precious life and fighting with every ounce he hast life, and we too feel the sun on our skin and dust in our lungs.
Then there is Madec: cavalier, careless, pompous. He sips a martini and breaks out a folding chair to watch Ben stumble around the dessert, waiting for him to die. Madec didn't find any bighorn sheep to hunt, but man seems a nice substitute. Even though he might be not able to mount a trophy on his wall.
Madec doesn't make that joke, but he may as well have. Douglas brings both much-needed levity and humour to the proceedings, which last a rather surprisingly long time; director Jean-Baptiste Leonetti gets a lot out of such a simple construct. The desert is the playground, wit Ben running up and over rugged crags, into holes and caverns, all the while Douglas horses around with his supped up truck, his rifle, and lots of dynamite.
The film runs out of steam in the finale and heads off the tracks, if only slightly, but it doesn't erase what is a guiltily satisfying if not inane thriller. You never quite feel the requisite evil within Madec to hate him, or the assume virtue of Ben, but their game is still fun to watch.

This honeycomb scarf has been off the loom for awhile now. I don't often weave with wool and I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially how substantial and alive the finished fabric feels. Partly because the wool crepe that outlines the honeycombs gives the scarf just a bit of collapse and texture. I wove this knowing that the long floats on the back would maybe be a wear-ability problem. It turns out though, that I like that side just about as much as the front. I will have to sell these with a disclaimer about taking care when wearing with jewelry, etc. So now I can cross honeycomb off the to do list; at least for awhile. Stll on the list is weaving with some of my new Habu yarns, boundweave and exploring collapse weave, oh and maybe I will break down and do some rep weave after being inspired by the new book, Custom Woven Interiors by Kelly Marshall. We'll see..

Liverpool, a lively city located in the North West of England, is the UK's fastest growing city with an economy worth over £149 billion. The city, which is famed for its stunning waterfront setting and breathtaking skyline, is a major tourist destination, which was titled the 6th most visited city in the UK, has been attracting a diverse and cultured community for almost a millennium and this can be seen through the rapidly growing population and demand for central accommodation in Liverpool.
The Knowledge Quarter, a scheme that was developed in order to create and promote innovative industries that operate within Liverpool, has aided in the substantial growth of the city in recent years. Liverpool celebrated its authority as a major port during the late 19th and early 20th century and in this time, the economy focused solely on the Port of Liverpool and the trade that grew as a result. More recently, the city has benefited from an upsurge in the tourism and leisure sectors as a result of improved transport links and technological advancements.
The vibrant and high-spirited city offers its residents a range of entertainment services – whether you've got a flare for the dramatic or appreciation for fine art, Liverpool's theatres, galleries and museums have something to suit everyone. Dubbed the World Capital City of Pop and awarded the title of European Capital of Culture in 2008, it's no surprise that a number of young business professionals are looking to make roots in Liverpool.
Parliament Square
Perfectly located along the stunning waterfront and only a short walk from Baltic Market and Chinatown, Parliament Square is surrounded by rich culture with a compelling heritage, giving occupants of the development the chance to explore, engage with and appreciate a range of different lifestyles.
The Baltic Market welcomes thousands of visitors with its exotic foods and drinks from around the world and it is a great place to network both personally and professionally. Residents can also expect to benefit from local amenities such as Liverpool One and the Echo Arena which are both located just a 10 minute walk away. Unprecedented views of the River Mersey and Liverpool's iconic landmarks are offered with the floor-to-ceiling windows in each unit. Furthermore, the array of onsite facilities such as the gym, spa and cinema room will help you unwind after a long day in the onsite meeting room.
Investment Opportunities
With an estimated completion date of 2020, Parliament Square offers investors an assured 7% net rental return for one year. Developments are available as a studio, one-bed, two-bed or three-bed apartment with prices starting from £94,950 (27sqm studio) up to £264,950 (77sqm three-bed apartment).
For more information on Parliament Square or on property investment in Liverpool, please contact Hopwood House.

Once you decide to improve your photography skills, you should buy a high quality camera. Either way, your timing is impeccable. The tips below can help you realize your photography aspirations.
Do not make adjusting your settings too complex. Learn how to use your camera one feature at a time. Learn each one completely before moving on. Doing this focuses your attention on the image itself, rather than playing with dials while you lose your subject.
Experiment with new ways to use your camera, and take some original pictures. A great photograph should be not only aesthetically pleasing, but should also showcase a personal style. Try to stay away from taking pictures that are described as 'classic'. Try looking for angles that are unique, and be creative.
Find other photographers whose work you admire, and look to them for inspiration. Seeing their work can remind you of all the various ways to take photos of many moments.
It is a common misconception that bright, sunny days are perfect for taking pictures. Actually, a lot of sun can make it difficult to take useable photos. Direct sunlight not only causes glare and unpleasant shadows, but it also creates irregular highlights and makes your subjects squint if they facing the sun. If it is possible, shoot outdoors only in late evening light or the very early morning.
Tinker with your cameras manual white balance. Interior photography often comes with a yellowish hue due to the light available from light bulbs. It is often easier to change the white balance setting on the camera than to adjust the lighting in your room. This can help your photos appear more professional.
Start taking photographs on vacation when you depart! Once you get where you're going, there will be ample photographic opportunities, but the trip itself can provide some unique shots. You can take pictures that will document your journey. Keep in mind that the airport has a plethora of good subjects for photos.
Now, you should be much more prepared when it comes to photography. If you thought you knew a lot, you are now more of an expert. The article above offered you plenty of helpful advice on how to bump up your photography skills.

|Superfacialist By Una Brennan available at Boots
But putting those aside, the Superfacialist Cleansing Oil is actually really nice. It is not as heavy duty as the DHC one, it even advises on the packaging that it is a pre-cleanse product and should be followed up with a cleanser. It removes makeup well and leaves my skin looking radiant but not shiny which can always be a danger using oils on oily skin. My skin feels so soft after i've cleansed with this oil, and when used in conjunction with the other products in the range, my skin is hydrated and dare I say, radiant?
Like I say in all of my skincare posts, I have acne prone skin and I just can't stress enough how much oils have improved my skin. I have consciously made more of an effort to stay away from products aimed at acne prone skin (La Roche-Posay aside) as they strip the skin of natural oils and ultimately make the whole situation worse.
Have you tried anything from the Una Brennan range?
Much Love,

Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Illinois requires carbon monoxide alarms
Homeowners and landlords throughout Illinois are required by law to install carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.
Public Act 094-0741 requires every dwelling be equipped with at least one approved carbon monoxide alarm, in operating condition, within 15 feet of every sleeping room. This alarm may be battery operated, plug-in with battery back-up or wired into the home's AC power with a secondary battery back-up. Approved alarms bear the label of a nationally recognized testing laboratory and comply with the most recent standards of the Underwriters Laboratories or the Canadian Standard Association.

Our principal function is to provide high‑quality policy advice to the Prime Minister and the Cabinet on matters that are at the forefront of public and government administration, including domestic and international affairs and, in particular, the implications of proposals for Commonwealth-State relations.

- to ensure that policy proposals put to the Prime Minister, other ministers in the portfolio, and to Cabinet are developed in a coherent, informed and coordinated fashion.
- where appropriate, to coordinate and monitor implementation and delivery of Government decisions, policies and priorities, recognising that ministers are responsible individually for the administration of their departments and collectively for matters decided by Cabinet.
- to support the Prime Minister and the Government to manage the business of government in an efficient, effective and coordinated manner.
- to provide administrative support to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet Secretary, the Cabinet and its committees.
- to coordinate and facilitate government administration, intergovernmental relations and communications with State and Territory Governments.

From the 1965 Farm Journal's Complete Pie Cookbook, the boys and I are going to attempt the "Best-Ever Lemon Meringue Pie." Many of the pies in here have uncooked egg whites as a meringue on top, but this one seems okay.
Baked 9″ pie shell
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. water
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. cornstarch
1/3 c. water
4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/2 c. lemon juice
3 tblsp. butter
1 tsp. grated lemon peel
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
Combine sugar, 1 1/2 c. water and salt in saucepan; heat to boiling. Mix cornstarch and 1/3 c. water to make smooth paste; add to boiling mixture gradually, stirring constantly; cook until thick and clear. Remove from heat.
Combine egg yolks and lemon juice; stir into thickened mixture. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles again. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and lemon peel. Cover and cool until lukewarm.
For meringue, add salt to egg whites; beat until frothy. Gradually add 1/2 c. sugar, beating until glossy peaks are formed. Stir 2 rounded tblsp. of meringue into lukewarm filling. Pour filling into cool pie shell. Pile remaining meringue on top and spread lightly over filling, spreading evenly to edge of crust. Bake in slow oven 325F about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on rack at least 1 hour before cutting.

Book title: Captured in time
Subtitle: Five centuries of South African writing
Editor: John Clare
Publisher: Jonathan Ball
Cape Town, South Africa 2010
Softcover, 15 x 23 cm, 600 pages, several b/w photos
The time has come to delve into the story of South Africa's turbulent history, a story of exploration and conquest, rampant growth and war, oppression and ultimately, liberation. Captured in Time tells that story in a collection of extracts from the most illuminating, entertaining and significant works written about the country and its diverse people over almost five centuries. The writers are settlers, explorers, administrators, missionaries, hunters, travellers, novelists, playwrights, poets and politicians. They include Jan van Riebeeck, the first Dutch governor of the Cape, whose journal is the most detailed account in history of a colony's founding; Mazisi Kunene, the Xhosa poet, who chronicled the rise of Shaka, the Zulu empire builder, in epic verse; W. C. Scully, who took part in the diamond rush at Kimberley that set South Africa on the path to unimaginable wealth. Furtheron it is about Jan Smuts, the Boer War general who, with Cecil Rhodes, the arch Imperialist, was one of the architects of apartheid; and Nelson Mandela, apartheid's most famous victim, who became its nemesis. The novelists include two Nobel prizewinners, Nadine Gordimer and John Maxwell Coetzee. All have been eye-witnesses to South Africa's long journey from subjugation to freedom.

Build trust with clients and reduce the risk of lawsuits and regulatory challenges under the DoL Fiduciary Rule with Aprisi Assure.
Help clients understand disclosures and reduce legal risk [video]
Why "Fiduciary" Isn't Going Away Any Time Soon
On April 4, the U.S. Labor Department announced it was extending the applicability date for its controversial Fiduciary Rule. The Rule would require advisors to retirement investors to place their clients' interests ahead of their own, and to charge no more than reasonable compensation for their services. As of this writing, the 60-day extension means the Rule will now take effect on June 9, 2017, instead of April 10. This will allow time for the Labor Department to review whether it would limit access to retirement information and advice
In the meantime, a number of opponents are pursuing lawsuits to kill the Rule completely. While rulings to date have generally favored the Fiduciary Rule, legal maneuvers will no doubt continue. But for many firms, it won't matter – they've either already left the market, or already spent millions preparing for the original April 10 implementation date.
If you are a 401(k) trustee, you could be sued for less than expected returns!
It may sound inconceivable, but I recently realized that as an employer and the trustee of my company 401(k) plan, I'm at risk of being sued by plan participants who are unhappy with their returns. I didn't think this was even possible since I'm not the person responsible for managing the funds under management.
The DoL Fiduciary Rule: How does investor comprehension fit in?
The relationship between financial advisors and their customers can be complicated. And just like any relationship, trust must be built between the two parties for the whole thing to work. Investors must trust that the advisor understands their situation and goals, has disclosed the rules of engagement, and is working in their best interest. The advisor trusts that the investor not only received but understands the disclosures associated with risks, terms, expenses, fees, and how returns are calculated. In general, consumers assume that the advisor is acting in a fiduciary manner – in their best interest – with a duty to disclose and a duty to ensure comprehension.

The second studio album from The Smiths, Meat Is Murder was the bands only number one album while they were together.
Morrissey and Marr released a more political album than before and their jangly sound had taken on a more adventurous tone. Subsequent reissues and re-releases have had How Soon Is Now tacked onto the record, but it's only legitimate single, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore didn't even dent the top 40 on release, bigger things were ahead of the band, following it's release in 1985.
The cover shows a photo of Marine Cpl. Michael Wynn in the Vietnam War with his original slogan on his helmet 'Make War, Not Love' doctored to read 'Meat Is Murder'. Here, as before, in felt pen.

Lowdown: A gripping version of a serious James Bond like adventure.
I'll start by making it clear: I am no big fan of the Bourne series. I liked the first one even if I thought it was nothing special; the second one made me seasick. Now that we have a third episode, the answer to the question of "what is this third one like" is probably "an extreme version of the second".
Jason Bourne, the ultimate killing machine, continues his ongoing quest to find more about himself. The main difference is that this time we actually end up with an answer, which at least means that episode four will have to explore some alternative themes (either that or it will to come up with something special up its sleeve). As with the previous episodes, we have ourselves an international James Bond like serious action adventure with Bourne being tracked by professional killers as he fights with a CIA that thinks he's out to get them while he's only trying to understand who he is. As already said, the difference is that this time the action is more extreme and more realistic in the sense that it takes place in famous public places and in a manner we can all relate to: a shootout in London's Waterloo station or a gunfight in New York's Port Authority, for example. In the similar James Bond series the locations are there to add an aura of exoticness; here the locations are there to add an aura of authenticity.
Authenticity is highly required for this Bourne adventure, because with its super high-tech aroma (mainly through the facilities available to the CIA) one can easily think something along the lines of "oh, this is such bullshit". Thing is, a lot of it isn't. For example, the film argues that the CIA can tap any phone call it wants and can actually flag those where certain words are said; sounds too bad to be true, but it is true. I doubt it's as easy as the film portrays it to be, though, which leads me to say that despite its hard efforts towards authenticity Bourne Ultimatum is still way up high in the bullshit factor. You get Bourne surviving explosions and falls that would kill or cripple most people most of the time, but you also get some technological bullshit. For example, a CIA manager asks to have the names of all CIA operatives who had their mobile phones shut during a particular time on a particular date, and within less than 5 seconds they have names flickering on the screen in front of them. Obviously, the CIA has a database query tool that works by telepathy, and that's ignoring the feat of having such a database available in the first place!
By far the most annoying thing about Episode 3 is its style. Shot entirely hand held with high zoom levels and fast editing, this is not a film to watch on a big screen without puke bags ready. Personally, I just hate this style; you can't understand what is taking place until the action ends and the camera finally retreats a bit to allow you to figure things out.
Still, when the dust settles I have to say that Bourne Ultimatum is a very gripping film, even if it is quite forgettable. You sit there and you bite your nails and you want to see how he's going to get himself "out of this situation".
There is also some substance to the film: Ultimately, Bourne Ultimatum is about having an open, thinking mind. The baddies in the film are people just like Bourne (read: just like us) who are doing bad things not because they're bad but because someone who is genuinely bad has told them to do so and they fail to question that. The film goes further by putting the CIA as the film's baddies, which works well in the current contexts of CIA abductions and of Abu Ghraib prison guards going off the rails. They, too, failed to question, just like most Nazis before them.
Best scene: There's not much to Bourne Ultimatum other than the action scenes, and in there it's really hard to choose a winner because they're all good. I like those set in an international city, like London, Turin, Tangier, or New York. If forced to choose I'd pick Tangier for being the most exotic and for reminding me of a chase scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Picture quality: Good, but you don't notice it because you're busy barfing.
Sound quality: Very aggressive, quite good. My six months old was certainly gripped by it.
Overall: It's thrilling but it's annoying, so it scores only 3 out of 5 stars.

How To Reprogram Cells In Our Immune System
Last updated Aug. 7, 2017
Approved by: Maulik P. Purohit MD MPH
A colorized scanning electron micrograph of a T cell.
When the immune system is imbalanced, either due to overly-active cells or cells that suppress its function, it causes a wide range of diseases, from psoriasis to cancer. By manipulating the function of certain immune cells, called T cells, researchers could help restore the system's balance and create new treatments to target these diseases.
Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes revealed, for the first time, a method to reprogram specific T cells. More precisely, they discovered how to turn pro-inflammatory cells that boost the immune system into anti-inflammatory cells that suppress it, and vice versa.
The researchers studied two types of cells called effector T cells, which activate the immune system to defend our body against different pathogens, and regulatory T cells, which help control the immune system and prevent it from attacking healthy parts of its environment.
"Our findings could have a significant impact on the treatment of autoimmune diseases, as well as on stem cell and immuno-oncology therapies," said Gladstone Senior Investigator Sheng Ding, PhD, who is also a professor of pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco.
By drawing on their expertise in drug discovery, Ding's team identified a small-molecule drug that can successfully reprogram effector T cells into regulatory T cells. Their study, published in the journal Nature, describes in detail a metabolic mechanism that helps convert one cell type into another.
This new approach to reprogram T cells could have several medical applications. For instance, in autoimmune disease, effector T cells are overly activated and cause damage to body. Converting these cells into regulatory T cells could help reduce the hyperactivity and return balance to the immune system, thus treating the root of the disease.
In addition, the study could improve therapies using stem cells. At least in theory, producing regulatory T cells could promote immune tolerance and prevent the body from rejecting newly-transplanted cells.
"Our work could also contribute to ongoing efforts in immuno-oncology and the treatment of cancer," explained Tao Xu, postdoctoral scholar in Ding's laboratory and first author of the study. "This type of therapy doesn't target the cancer directly, but rather works on activating the immune system so it can recognize cancer cells and attack them."
Many cancers take control of regulatory T cells to suppress the immune system, creating an environment where tumors can grow without being detected. In such cases, the team's findings could be used to transform regulatory T cells into effector T cells to strengthen the immune system so it can better recognize and destroy cancer cells.

This morning, sitting still in the front porch swing, I felt an overwhelming sense of love. It was the most wonderful feeling. It welled up inside of me, and wanted to become tears, but I held it inside to hold onto that moment.
It only got better from there.
You know I frequent a small town coffee-house.
The coffee is a bonus. It's the people I gravitate toward. Today, their love and kindness blew me away. God had it all lined up for me to walk in at just the right moment. The owner was making something specifically for my heart.
I walked in and he yelled, "Barbara! I am making something for you!" The timing is what amazed me, because I rarely walk in the same time of day. My daughter said, "When they know you all too well at the coffee shop?" That is true love.
He had bought a beautiful pour over, along with my favorite kettle! I was literally screaming in awe of this magnificent sight! He was beaming with excitement. It was a moment.
He said that he envisioned my daughter and I sitting at a table, sharing this moment. He would be right. Just the other day, my daughter said she wished he had a pour over.
God gave me another Patron! That is love.
A friend takes time out of her busy schedule each day to send a video of her life, and thoughts. That is love.
You are here, taking time to read this. That is love.
A Vintage hat box full of stars. That is love.

About Skills Block
The K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block is a one-hour block that uses a structured phonics approach, grounded in the Phase Theory of Dr. Linnea Ehri, which describes behavior related to the types of letter-sound connections students are able to make as they learn to read and write. As such, the block is meant to ensure that, by the end of grade 2, students acquire the depth of skills they need in the Reading Foundations standards to navigate grade-level text independently. The lessons and assessments explicitly address the Reading Foundations standards, as well as some Language standards associated with spelling and letter formation.
Watch Kindergarten and Second Grade classrooms teachers prepare, assess and group students, select and manage materials, and foster students' self-management and smooth transitions during differentiated small group time.
Implementing the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block from EL Education on Vimeo.
Overall Structure
Like the Module Lessons and the K-2 Labs, the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block is divided into four modules that span a full school year. The first module is 6 weeks long and the remaining three modules are eight weeks. Each module includes five-day "cycles," with four days focused on repeated instructional practices and one day on assessment and goal setting. Each module includes a Flex Week to be used at the teacher's discretion.
Lesson-Level Structure
Each lesson in the Skills Block is one-hour long and divided into two major chunks:
- 15-20 minutes: Whole group instruction
- 40-45 minutes: Differentiated small group instruction (including independent work time)
Module Pacing Considerations
- Flex Week: All modules include a Flex Week to be used at the teacher's discretion. Considerations might include: scheduling challenges (e.g, holidays, teacher work days, etc.) and students' needs (e.g., re-teaching).
- Benchmark Assessments can be administered at the discretion of the teacher, school leader, or school district. If possible, Beginning-of-the-Year Benchmarks should be administered before instruction begins. Benchmark results are particularly important for teachers to use as they group students and plan for Differentiated Small Group instruction.
- If Middle-of-the-Year Benchmark Assessments are administered between Modules 2 and 3, consider using Flex Days from each module to make up for this time, as necessary.

The more money you have the more of an alpha dog you are.
I used to be a real down to earth, go with the flow, "yeah, hey man it's whatever" kind of guy. I was also poor.
When I started making money I started demanding things and I started getting things done my way. I started saying "no" as easily as most people say "yeah, uh, I guess that's ok".
I went from an average of a few hundred dollars in my bank account to having an average of 10, 20, 30 or 40 grand with more always on the way. And guess what happened? I stopped taking bullshit.
I make a lot less money now but A) I make enough so that I am completely free to go anywhere B) I have zero debt and my monthly expenses are less than a grand and C) I can afford to purchase anything I want and I don't worry about putting food on the table.
Do something I don't want to do? Not even an option. Someone telling me what to do? No. Relying on other people to pay me? Nope. Following the schedule or plans of others? Negative. My word goes? Yes.
You want to increase your testosterone but you are scared of the needle? Make more money. Money will make a man of you.
When you've got money in the bank and a pocket full of cash you don't accept baloney.
When your waiter brings you the wrong meal, instead of saying "oh, it's ok I guess. I'll just eat this" you'll say "this isn't what I ordered. Take this back and bring me my steak and baked potato" and you'll say it without apology and without pleading.
You'll stop asking permission and you'll start demanding. You won't ask, you will tell.
When you have money you have balls. You are in control.
A lot of males are scared of money and scared of success. They'll say things like "I would NEVER do that just for money! I would NEVER try and make money from that!".
They say this baloney, and act this way, to feel morally superior. Morally superior in their poorness. Good for them. That makes it easier for the rest of us who aren't afraid of money. That makes it easier for you to become a big dog.
Acting moral is the act of being the best at following orders. The most "moral" people are the best order takers.
When a person brags about being too moral they are bragging that they do what they are told better than you.
And you should be happy for them, the world needs customer service representatives and IT professionals to help fix your computer.
"I do everything I'm told and I never get ahead! I just don't understand!" they always end up saying.
Tough one to figure out, isn't it boys?
I'll have to ponder that riddle over the weekend and see if I can possibly find an answer.
See you Monday,
-Victor Pride

I don't know about you guys, but this is a pretty exciting day, and even more exciting weekend ahead! Today marks the NPS's (National Parks Service's) 100 YEAR BIRTHDAY! What an amazing job they have done in protecting the places we all love most.
The American Southwest – Trailer from Tommaso Maiocchi on Vimeo.
A Little History Lesson
On August 25th 1916 President Woodrow signed The Act of March 1, 1872 which created the National Parks Service. This act started with Yellowstone National Park when congress established it as a "public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people" and placed it "under exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior." This movement sparked one of the most important environmental movements to date. The national park movement began and today more than 100 NATIONS contain 1,200 national parks or alike preserved areas. Once the National Parks Service was established on this very day 100 years ago, the department was made responsible for protecting and preserving 35 national parks and monuments.
Why Do We Need NPS?
I mean… In my opinion people can be pretty careless, especially when it comes to our land and environment. The NPS helps to preserve some of the most stunning, fragile, sometimes dangerous and amazing places in the world! Without them there could be a potential chance of these parks getting destroyed by carelessness. Littering, fires, development and more are all being avoided by having the National Parks Service there to keep these lovely places preserved for our enjoyment. They help keep the parks clean and the people safe.
So in honor of the National Parks Service's 100th Birthday, starting today August 25th – August 28th at all the National Parks there will be a FEE FREE ENTRANCE. So get out there and enjoy this beautiful land!
"The National Park Service turns 100 years old in 2016 and we want everyone to join the party! On 16 days in '16, all National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee will offer free admission to everyone." – https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/fee-free-parks.htm
What It's Like Hiking in Bryce/0 Comments/in Activities, Adventure, Beautiful Images of Bryce Canyon, Hotels, Lodging, Things To Do In Bryce Canyon, Videos of Bryce Canyon /by Clay Hunter
Have you ever wondered what it's like hiking in Bryce? What to expect? What the trails and the traffic is like? Well this video of Bryce does an excellent job of showing you exactly what to expect when planning a hiking trip to Bryce Canyon.
Hiking in Bryce
The National Park Service has done an incredible job of developing Bryce Canyon's hiking trails. That is one of the first things you'll notice from this video. From well groomed trails to the stone staircases, you're in good hands when you go hiking here.
Some come to Bryce and merely look over the edge and get some photos from the various lookouts. And then so often they claim they've now experienced Bryce. But for those who have gone off the beaten path and walked down into her depths know how much they miss out on.
Hiking in Bryce is truly a treasure. You'll see things and experience the canyon in ways that just can't be replicated from the top, from a picture, or even from someone else's video of it. You just have to do it. You have to go down that trail and see for yourself all that there is to offer in this amazing park.
Hiking Trails in Bryce
There are so many trails to choose between that it's hard to narrow it down. But safe to say that the most popular, and also one of our favorites is the Navajo Loop trail. This is the one showcases on this video with the switchbacks. This is also the trail that will take you to the bottom of the canyon.
Once there you'll be able to look up at Bryce, look up at her Hoodoos and be inspired by what you see. So there you have it, that's what it's like to hike in Bryce.

Back to Day 6 – Weds – Fish Creek Falls
O.k., I realize that I've been sidetracked a bit from vacation for the last few posts, so now I'll try to get focused and cover Days 6, 7 and 8 over the next few days, hopefully.
On Weds of our vacation week we went to Fish Creek Falls. It's a short drive just outside of Steamboat Springs, so we decided to check it out. After the quick jaunt in the car, we had a short easy walk to the bridge at the base of the falls and decided it was a great spot for a photo op. Of course, Kevin hammed it up as usual.
You can see the beautiful falls in the background. Interestingly, when I was looking online for info about the falls, I came across a photo that was probably taken in the spring when the water flow is at it's peak. Take a look at the difference between what we saw and what it would look like with full flow.
Soon after we arrived Kevin and Randy decided to do some rock climbing up to the base of the falls. They wouldn't have been able to do it if the falls were full, but in late summer it was very manageable. Since Kevin just had flip flops on, he ended up going barefoot for his excursion. To give some perspective on the height of the falls, if you enlarge the 5th photo from the top you can see Randy and Kevin in the lower left corner of the picture. In the next photo you see Kev jumping from one rock to another (one of his favorite things to do).
Then back at the bridge I noticed this set of miniature clothes laying out on the rocks. Oops! Someone must have wandered a little too far into the creek…and here is the guilty party. Isn't he cute and not phased a bit.
After our hike, I asked Kevin to hold the camera. Guess which pictures he took? Linda and I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Then just before we left Randy, Linda, Kevin and Terry started playing a game that Linda called "Water Bottle Smack Down". She explains the game on her blog post here. You have to enlarge the pic to see the water bottles flying thru the air.
Sadly this was our last full day with Randy & Linda. They left early Thursday morning to do the 14 hour drive all the way to Phoenix in one day. We had a great time with them! What a blessing to have friends that we've known for over 30 years and have so much in common with. We hope to do it again soon.

Euphorbia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. Consisting of 2008 species, Euphorbia is one of the largest and most diverse genera in the plant kingdom, along with Rumex and Senecio. Members of the family and genus are commonly referred to as spurges. Euphorbia antiquorum is the type species for the genus Euphorbia; it was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 in Species Plantarum. The family is primarily found in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and the Americas, but also in temperate zones worldwide. Succulent species originate mostly from Africa, the Americas and Madagascar.

DETROIT, July 16 (UPI) -- Jack Tocco, the low-key businessman described by federal prosecutors as the head of the Detroit mob, has died at 87.
Tocco lived quietly, denying ties to organized crime, although he was convicted of racketeering in 1998. His death was also quiet, announced Monday on the website of Bagnasco & Calcaterra Funeral Home in Sterling Heights, Mich.
But Tocco was the son of William "Black Bill" Tocco and nephew of Joseph Zerilli, the men alleged to have founded and run the mob in Detroit in the 1930s. Experts say he inherited their power.
Tocco was allegedly running the organization in 1975 when Jimmy Hoffa, president of the Teamster Union, vanished.
"He knew all the secrets and where the bodies were buried, including Hoffa's," Dan Moldea, author of The Hoffa Wars, told the Detroit Free Press. "Jack Tocco had to check off on this murder. It happened in his jurisdiction."
A graduate of the University of Detroit, Tocco was president of Melrose Linen Supply. He lived in Grosse Pointe Park with his wife and children, and attended his sons' Little League games.
Lawyer Keith Corbett was the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted Tocco.
"He didn't talk on the telephone, he did most of his business face to face," Corbett told the Free Press. "There were very few instances where we were able to get him on a wiretap or a bug."
While Tocco was convicted of racketeering and conspiracy and could have been sentenced to decades in federal prison, he eventually served about two years. Up to that point he had a clean record, except for a 1965 conviction for being caught at a cock fight.
