As the live social gaming phenomenon gathers momentum, OnLive has announced new plans to make its gaming experience more mainstream, by launching a new game service with Facebook that gives users the ability to launch games directly from their Facebook pages, and allow them to shift seamlessly from social gaming on mobiles to PCs, Macs or even the TV.
As millions of social networkers shift into and out of social games, the new service allows Facebook users post clips of their special moments on their Facebook walls which can be viewed by their friends in HD, and leave comments or even play a demonstration game for free with a new 'Brag Clip' facility.
The new wall posting facility instantly draws friends into the online gameplay, by allowing them to click the "Watch Me" link on the post and watch and rate their friends' gameplay instantly in HD resolution.
OnLive Founder and CEO, Steve Perlman, said: "The OnLive Facebook integration is a watershed event for the videogame industry. No one questions the massive appeal of social gaming, but before OnLive there was no frictionless way to integrate AAA core games into the global social network fabric.
And the company is not stopping there. Using the OnLive Facebook integration as its launch pad, the company is also integrating its technology into Intel hardware allowing users to seamlessly shift from one OnLive-compatible device to another. This will include almost any PC/Mac, tablet or TV today, and soon smartphones, Blu-ray/media players and IPTV/cable set-top boxes.
The gaming anywhere experience will allow users to access OnLive games even when travelling, so that both the social network and the OnLive game experience travels with the gamer.
The company has announced expansion to the UK and Europe later this year, and trials are underway in Asia. It aims to have instant access to OnLive everywhere.
"We took it as a given that to be completely social meant being completely inclusive, and that meant working on just about any connected device anywhere," said Joe Bentley, OnLive VP of Engineering.
"OnLive is already available, or soon will be available, on TV devices, PC/Mac and iOS and Android platforms and OnLive is either available or in trial on three continents, and all of OnLive's data centers are seamlessly interconnected. OnLive will be everywhere on every major device."
A new Software Development Kit (SDK) for game developers is being updated enabling developers to explore new gaming concepts, such as shouting out to friends when you need help during a game, or gifting/receiving in-game assets.
The streaming games service now boasts over 100 titles in its portfolio and the company has also teamed up with Intel to offer access to high end games on any Intel hardware with the Atom Processor CE4100.
In addition it is unveiling a universal wireless controller that will allow users to play with one peripheral across multiple devices, so that they can take advantage of games designed for a home console.
New Disney Interactive titles will also be added to its line-up, including two games from defunct studio Black Rock, Pure and Split/Second.

Damage, degeneration or loss of nerve cells in the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination (cerebellum), results in ataxia. Your cerebellum comprises two pingpong-ball-sized portions of folded tissue situated at the base of your brain near your brainstem. The right side of your cerebellum controls coordination on the right side of your body; the left side of your cerebellum controls coordination on the left.
Diseases that damage the spinal cord and peripheral nerves that connect your cerebellum to your muscles also may cause ataxia. Ataxia causes include:
For some adults who develop sporadic ataxia, no specific cause can be found. This is known as sporadic degenerative ataxia, which can take a number of forms, including multiple system atrophy, a progressive, degenerative disorder.
Some types of ataxia and some conditions that cause ataxia are hereditary. If you have one of these conditions, you were born with a defect in a certain gene that makes abnormal proteins. The abnormal proteins hamper the function of nerve cells, primarily in your cerebellum and spinal cord, and cause them to degenerate. As the disease progresses, coordination problems worsen.
You can inherit a genetic ataxia from either a dominant gene from one parent (autosomal dominant disorder) or a recessive gene from each parent (autosomal recessive disorder). In the latter case, it's possible neither parent has the disorder (silent mutation), so there may be no obvious family history.
Different gene defects cause different types of ataxia, most of which are progressive. Each type causes poor coordination, but each has specific signs and symptoms.
These include:
Episodic ataxia. There are seven recognized types of ataxia that are episodic rather than progressive — EA1 through EA7. EA1 and EA2 are the most common. EA1 involves brief ataxic episodes that may last seconds or minutes. The episodes are triggered by stress, being startled or sudden movement, and often are associated with muscle twitching.
EA2 involves longer episodes, usually lasting from 30 minutes to six hours, that also are triggered by stress. With this type of ataxia, you may experience dizziness (vertigo), fatigue and muscle weakness during your episodes. In some cases of episodic ataxia, symptoms resolve in later life.
Episodic ataxia doesn't shorten life span, and symptoms may respond to medication.
Friedreich's ataxia. This, the most common hereditary ataxia, involves damage to your cerebellum, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Peripheral nerves carry signals from your brain and spinal cord to your muscles. In most cases, signs and symptoms appear before the age of 25.
The rate of disease progression varies. The first indication generally is difficulty walking (gait ataxia). The condition typically progresses to the arms and trunk. Muscles weaken and waste away over time, causing deformities, particularly in your feet, lower legs and hands.
Other signs and symptoms that may develop as the disease progresses include slow, slurred speech (dysarthria); fatigue; rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus); spinal curvature (scoliosis); hearing loss; and heart disease, including heart enlargement (cardiomyopathy) and heart failure.
Ataxia-telangiectasia. This rare, progressive childhood disease causes degeneration in the brain and other body systems. The disease causes immune system breakdown (immunodeficiency disease), which increases susceptibility to other diseases. It affects various organs.
Telangiectasias are tiny red "spider" veins that may appear in the corners of your child's eyes or on the ears and cheeks. Although they're characteristic of the disease, your child may not develop them. Delayed motor skill development, poor balance and slurred speech are typically the first indications of the disease. Recurrent sinus and respiratory infections are common.
Children with ataxia-telangiectasia are at high risk of developing cancer, particularly leukemia or lymphoma. Most people with the disease need a wheelchair by their teens and die in their teens or early 20s.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen will take his turn at SEC Media Days on Wednesday. Here are 10 topics he'll likely be asked about:
• West wins: Mullen is 3-12 against SEC Western Division teams, with those three wins all coming against rival Ole Miss. That first hump has been Auburn, and those teams meet Sept. 8 in Starkville.
• Russell No. 1: Tyler Russell is finally the No. 1 quarterback. Coaches believe he has the ability to be a consistent passer.
• Ballard gone: Vick Ballard, who rushed for 1,189 yards last year, must be replaced at tailback. Three or four players are expected to fill the role.
• Chad Bumphis: The senior receiver hasn't lived up to the hype he generated at Tupelo High School. He leads a deep, experienced receiving corps and finally has a QB with strong passing skills, so this could be Bumphis' year.
• Fast start: MSU's schedule is very navigable until the end of October. Its first seven games include all four non-conference contests (Jackson State, Troy, South Alabama, Middle Tennessee), plus two winnable SEC home games (Auburn and Tennessee) and a trip to lowly Kentucky.
• Tough finish: The back end of that schedule is a doozy. A trip to reigning national champion Alabama is followed by Texas A&M at home, at LSU, Arkansas at home, and at Ole Miss.
• Defensive line: MSU lost tackle Fletcher Cox to the NFL (first round, Philadelphia), but Josh Boyd is back and junior college transfer Denico Autry is expected to be a strong rush end. It's a deep group.
• Johnthan Banks: The senior leads one of the SEC's top cornerback units, and the All-American candidate is five interceptions away from breaking the school's career record of 16 (Walt Harris). Banks is also a strong punt returner.
• Middle linebacker: Youngsters Ferlando Bohanna and Benardrick McKinney are vying for this opening, and they'll likely end up sharing snaps. Teammates have compared the rangy McKinney to former Bulldog linebacker K.J. Wright.
• Tight ends: Starter Malcolm Johnson is out with a mystery injury – Mullen won't say what it is, and he won't say how long Johnson is out. If he misses games, then oft-injured Marcus Green must step to the fore. He recently received a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA.

Defense rests; Chritton doesn't testify in trial
Closing arguments set for Thursday
MADISON, Wis. - Closing arguments are set for Thursday in the trial of a Madison man accused of abusing his teenage daughter.
Chad Chritton is charged with party to five felonies, including false imprisonment and child neglect resulting in bodily harm.
Dane County prosecutors have said the 15-year-old girl was locked in the basement and denied food by her family until she wasted away to 68 pounds.
In a somewhat surprising move, Chritton told the judge late Wednesday that he had decided to testify.
Chritton's decision didn't sit well with his attorney. The two left the courtroom and spoke privately.
When they returned, Chritton announced he had changed his mind and he assured the judge it was a decision he'd made, not his attorney.
Chritton said his learning disabilities prevented him from clearly following lines of questioning and previous testimony, and he didn't want to jeopardize the case.
"With my comprehension and learning disabilities, I'm getting lost," Chritton said. "If I were to testify, I don't think people would understand my answers, and I want people to know I'm innocent."19308916
The defense, having no more witnesses to call, rested Wednesday.
The prosecution also rested after a short testimony by a rebuttal witness from Dane County Human Services.
Chritton's attorney, William Hayes, attempted to get a mistrial Wednesday, arguing the prosecution was out of line when it questioned Hayes' witness, Dr. Rick Barney. Barney treated Chritton's daughter.
Hayes argued the prosecution insinuated Chritton wasn't cooperating with authorities after he'd been arrested on suspicion of abuse.
The judge agreed with Hayes that the constitution gives an accused person the right to refuse to talk. The judge drafted a corrected response for the jury that she read, saying: "I do think that crossed a line and that we do need to give instruction to the jury so that they understand that Mr. Chritton had a constitutional right to remain silent once he was arrested."
The nearly three-week-long trial will be in the hands of the jury after Thursday's closing arguments.
Chritton had been facing six felonies but the court on Wednesday dismissed a charge of failure to act to prevent sexual assault of a child, saying there wasn't enough evidence to support the charge.
Chritton's wife, Melinda Drabek-Chritton, is charged with six felonies, including child abuse and neglect. The girl's stepbrother has been accused of sexually assaulting her.

The Climate, Energy and Tenure Division assists member countries in their responses towards the challenge of climate change, including the mitigation of climate change, as well as the development of adaptive capacities of agriculture, fisheries and forestry to the effects of climate change. It provides a coordination role on climate change and related climate smart agriculture issues. The Division also serves as the focal point for a multidisciplinary and global approach to bioenergy as well as undertaking work and providing support and guidance on tenure issues such as technical support and guidance on land tenure and land administration within the framework of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the context of National Food Security.
Achieving sufficient food production for a growing population becomes an even greater challenge when faced with possible impacts of climate change. For millions of people living in fragile ecosystems, climate change can greatly increase the risk of crop failure and loss of livestock. Climate change will most likely have the strongest impact on the most vulnerable and food-insecure countries, those least resilient to heightened irregularity of weather phenomenon and increased extreme events. The Division works in a variety of areas to help member countries adapt to the consequences of climate change, including disaster risk management. This assistance is made available through a variety of approaches, including technical support and capacity building, policy tools, institutional strengthening, guidelines and good practices and provision of basic data and information. It also develops projects to work with farmers most at risk and to help them to adapt to these changing conditions.
But agriculture is also part of the solution when it comes to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. Agricultural and environmental agendas must be closely linked to ensure that agriculture contributes to climate change mitigation, reduces emissions and sequesters carbon in the soil. Emissions can also be reduced by sustainable agricultural practices and FAO promotes approaches and initiatives aimed at reducing emission, including its coordination role of the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD Programme). Thematic website: Climate Change
FAO's work in this area focuses on the potential of bioenergy to contribute to poverty alleviation, food security and climate change mitigation. The Division serves as focal point for organizing and facilitating a multidisciplinary and global approach to bioenergy. The work on bioenergy aims to generate information in support of decision-making for sustainable bioenergy development; to build and strengthen institutional capacity at all levels; to enhance access to energy services through sustainable bioenergy systems; and to facilitate opportunities for effective international exchange and collaboration.
Projects such as the Bioenergy and Food Security (BEFS) Project aim at mainstreaming food security concerns into bioenergy policies, programs and projects at international, national and local levels. In particular, BEFS assists countries such as Tanzania, Thailand and Peru in assessing and addressing food security concerns in their national bioenergy policies. Building on the findings of BEFS, the Bioenergy and Food Security Criteria and Indicators Project (BEFSCI) aims to develop and build consensus upon a set of criteria and indicators on sustainable bioenergy production that safeguards food security
In addition FAO is a key partner to the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP), an international initiative established to implement the commitments taken by the G8 Leaders in the 2005, and host its secretariat. GBEP is a forum where voluntary cooperation works towards consensus amongst governments, intergovernmental organizations and other partners in the areas of the sustainability of bioenergy and its contribution to sustainable development, climate change mitigation and, energy and food security. Thematic website: Bioenergy
Secure access to land and other natural resources is a direct factor in the alleviation of hunger and rural poverty. FAO assists member states in ensuring that tenure policies adequately protect the rights of the poor; promote environmentally-sound land use practices; and ensure gender equality.
FAO is currently active in many areas of land tenure, including: investigations of the land tenure implications of climate change scenarios and of policy options in relation to the rapid growth of land use for bioenergy production; land tenure in emergency and post-emergency work; compulsory purchase of land and compensation; state land management; low-cost land tenure security; good governance in land administration; and making land information accessible for the poor.
Much emphasis is further given to the development of consensus on voluntary guidelines and policies on responsible governance of tenure and the mainstreaming of the principles and actions of the Voluntary Guidelines of the Right to Food into land tenure

By TYLER JEFFS financial consultant
The average American Family may no longer be living the American Dream. Nearly one in five American households has a zero net worth, and many who actually owe more than they own.
The American savings rate dropped to zero in 2005 which means many Americans live on the edge, and baby boomers are coming of age-this time as retirees.
Maybe you've made good decisions about finances, and while you do not consider yourself wealthy, your doing OK but not sure where to go from here. You may be just starting your financial journey, and you want to travel the high road. Either way a financial strategy is a good idea.
Wherever you are in your financial journey, you will want to consider life insurance. Many people avoid buying life insurance because they do not understand it or consider it a liability instead of a commanding piece of your financial portfolio. Many people have life insurance as an employee benefit, but that may expire when you leave the company, and the life insurance your company does provide may be very slim and more basic than you think.
Whatever your age life insurance to health, disability, long term care insurance and everywhere in between are planning options that should be considered. There is a huge amount of basic information concerning these products. Even if it is a long way off thinking ahead can help you meet your specific needs.
There are several ways you can meet those goals and plan ahead. One is by contributing to a Roth or traditional IRA and people over 50 can contribute a "catch up" amount- an extra $1,000 per year.
Just ask yourself these questions: Is my financial house complete? Am I missing any pieces to the puzzle? Just like a puzzle, skipping any piece will leave an unfinished picture.

Red Mass Tribute
On September 23, 2014, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law hosted its 102nd annual Red Mass and Renewal of the Lawyer's Oath at Detroit's historic Saints Peter and Paul Jesuit Church which is immediately adjacent to the School of Law Campus.
Red Mass is an occasion for judges, lawyers, civic leaders, faculty, and law students of all faiths to pray together at the beginning of the new judicial term, asking the Holy Spirit to bless, strengthen, and enlighten us, so that in cooperation and mutual trust we may effectively achieve justice for all.
The custom of a special religious ceremony for all members of the bench and bar at the opening of each term of the court arose principally in England, France, and Italy in the early 13th century. A Mass was celebrated in honor of the Holy Spirit, for which red vestments were worn. Hence, the celebration became known as the Red Mass.
The Lawyer's Oath of Commitment is recited by all new lawyers in the State of Michigan as a mandatory part of swearing-in ceremonies. Renewal of the Oath is a voluntary means of reaffirming this pledge made at the onset of a lawyer's career. This year's Oath was especially moving, because it was led by Justice Michael F. Cavanagh of the Michigan Supreme Court, who graduated from the University of Detroit in 1962 and from the School of Law in 1966. Justice Cavanagh was recognized for his nearly 42 years of judicial service, as he approached retirement from the bench on January 1, 2015. Phyllis L. Crocker, Dean of the School of Law, introduced Justice Cavanagh, and his daughter, attorney Megan Cavanagh of Garan Lucow Miller, PC, gave special remarks preceding her father's thoughtful words of reflection before leading the Renewal of the Oath.
The celebrant of the Mass was The Most Reverend Donald F. Hanchon, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit. The Catholic Lawyers Society co-sponsored the Mass this year.
The School of Law has hosted the Red Mass on behalf of the Archdiocese of Detroit at Saints Peter and Paul since the School opened in 1912.

New Direct Sydney-Adelaide Route $99 From March 124/01/2001
Virgin Blue Closing The Gap
Virgin Blue Airlines will begin direct flights between Adelaide and Sydney as of March 1 based on the tremendous demand being experienced on its Adelaide-Brisbane and Sydney-Brisbane routes.
In keeping with tradition, Virgin Blue has announced a special launch fare offer of $99 for 9 days for all seats on all flights from March 1-9 if booked on the Internet either directly or via a travel agent.
Virgin Blue's latest Internet innovations are allowing the airline to offer a more time and cost efficient booking service and Virgin Blue is keen to pass on its savings to Guests who book using the net.
Guests who prefer to make their booking through Virgin Blue Reservations are still able to take advantage of a special launch fare of $104 one way.
Australia's true low fare carrier began operating out of Adelaide on December 7 last year, offering for the first time, affordable, direct flights to Brisbane.
Chief Executive Officer, Brett Godfrey, said "Both our leisure and business Guests have made it clear they want more services to more destinations and we are doing our best to oblige".
He continued, "Our aim is to venture in to cities across Australia that have been neglected, poorly serviced or held to ransom by other airlines and provide more people with fun, efficient and affordable air travel".
Virgin Blue will operate three direct return flights a day between Sydney and Adelaide from March 1 and expects to increase that to six daily returns concurrent with the delivery of new aircraft.
It will compliment Virgin Blue's existing double daily Adelaide-Brisbane route and nine daily Sydney-Brisbane returns, strengthening its presence in both capital cities.
The airline is currently operating out of a temporary terminal in Adelaide but is expecting to move into the International Terminal by the end of February, where extensions are being completed to cater for Guests on the increasing number of Virgin Blue flights.
In Sydney, Virgin Blue operates out of the convenient Domestic Express Terminal.

Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, armed officers will circulate through all Douglas County School District elementary and middle schools and early childhood centers.
Armed officers are already present in the district's high schools.
Flanked by Douglas County law enforcement officers, with about 20 Soaring Hawk Elementary fifth-graders seated in front of her, Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen announced the new security program during a May 30 press conference at the Castle Rock school.
The partnership among DCSD, Douglas County Sheriff's Office, and the Parker, Castle Rock and Lone Tree police departments was created in response to December's mass shooting in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
"Our whole school district was brokenhearted over that event," Fagen said. "We were committed to taking that brokenheartedness and turning it into something better."
Modeled after the airline marshal program, Douglas County deputies and police officers in plain clothes will circulate among schools in close geographic proximity to ensure daily visits to all DCSD schools.
It "will create safety and security like we've never had before," Fagen said. "We're not aware of any other program like this in the country."
Each of Douglas County's nine high schools already has an armed, uniformed school resource officer. The marshal program expands on that idea, encompassing all schools.
DCSD confirmed that its investment is more than $500,000, with the partner law enforcement agencies paying the unreleased balance. School and law enforcement representatives were light on financial and other details, saying the information could compromise the very security they aim to provide.
"Sure, there's cost involved," said Sheriff Dave Weaver. "We as a united front will work out those costs; it's for the best interests of our citizens.
"This is about the community of Douglas County, that we will never allow something like this to happen. If they want to come to Douglas County, they're going to wonder, 'Is there a police officer in that school?' That's a risk they're going to have to take."
DCSD formed a safety committee immediately following the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, and the marshal program is part of a series of measures that arose from that group. Those include training for school staff, structural changes in schools such as improved exterior doors, new locks, additional cameras and exterior lighting, established safe areas, stepped-up visitor screening and enhanced district-wide communication.
DCSD school security already includes locked doors and safety personnel at the front doors of each building, safety and lockdown drills, and many other programs.

EUGENE, Ore. –Senior attack Gabi Wiegand (Bay Shore, N.Y.) scored a team-high four goals and senior midfielder Brittany Dashiell (Bel Air, Md.) recorded four points to help No. 2 Florida lacrosse to a 13-5 win over Oregon on a rainy Saturday at Papé Field. The Gators won their 11th straight game in 2013, and snapped Oregon's four-game win streak with the victory.
Wiegand combined with Dashiellfor seven of the Gators' 13 goals on the afternoon as they outshot Oregon 29-15. Florida also led in ground balls (13-10) and draw controls (12-8). Wiegand and Dashiell also combined to help Florida go 3-for-3 on free positions on the afternoon.
"I thought those two did a really nice job," Head coach Amanda O'Leary said. "Gabi coming in with four goals is what we expect from her and that's what Brittany does. She's going to be an offensive threat and solid through the midfield along with the defensive end, but I couldn't be prouder of this group as a whole for the way they played today."
The Gators faced a steady rain for a majority of the game but were unselfish with the ball, recording six assists with senior attack Caroline Chesterman (South Nyack, N.Y.) leading the way with two. Senior goalie Mikey Meagher (Liverpool, N.Y.) recorded five saves in the cage on 14 shots she faced in the game. Freshman goalie Mary-Sean Wilcox (Lutherville, Md.) also recorded a save in her three minutes of play in the contest.
Sophomore midfielder Nora Barry (Marcellus, N.Y.) led with four draw controls while Dashiell added three. Four Gators recorded team-high two ground balls and Gilroy caused a team-high three turnovers.
Dashiell got on the board early for the Gators, scoring three goals before the half. She found the back of the net for the first goal of the game at the 26:02 mark off an eight meter free position attempt. She followed it up less than 30 seconds later on an assist by sophomore midfielder Shannon Gilroy (Northport, N.Y.).
Oregon got on the board with 21:27 to play in the half on a Casey Brogan goal, but senior attack Ashley Bruns (Ellicot City, Md.) followed up with a goal from behind the crease to make it a 3-1 game and took a 6-1 lead with goals from Gilroy, Wiegand and senior attack Kitty Cullen (Rockville, Md.). The Ducks (4-2) chipped in back-to-back goals three and a half minutes apart, cutting the Gators lead to three.
Florida closed the half with three-straight goals including a Dashiell goal with 26 seconds left in the half. Florida was able to minimize its turnovers in the first half, recording just one before the break. They were able to keep their turnovers to under double-digits for the third time this season with only eight in the contest.
The second half was a low-scoring affair, with the two teams combining for just six goals. Oregon came out and scored the first goal of the half and went to work on defense, as Chesterman recorded the Orange and Blue's first goal of the final half with 10:41 to play. Wiegand would close the game with back-to-back goals and seal the win.
"I have to give credit to Oregon," O'Leary said. "They came out strong in the second half and had long possessions offensively with a great plan on defense, really giving us a run for our money."
With the win, the Gators improve to 2-0 all-time over the Ducks as they won the meeting back in 2010 in Gainesville.
The Gators return home to Donald R. Dizney Stadium for two games next week beginning with Stetson on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in their final midweek game of the season. They open up ALC play on Saturday as Ohio State visits for a 1 p.m. opening draw.

Grain Mill, Country Living Grain Mills, $429
The first time I saw freshly rolled oats I was amazed. I never understood that rolled oats were just that: rolled and flattened oats. And when I tasted them, I was further amazed. Just as grinding your own coffee makes better coffee than pre-ground coffee, grinding (or rolling) your own grain is better, too. This beauty from Country Living is adjustable and allows you to crack wheat or grind it into flour in just one pass.

Comments: I am currently using this string on my Donnay X-Dual Gold 94 racquets. I have the 17g strung at 5 3lbs.
For a synthetic gut they play nice. Much better than the Volkl Synthetic Gut I have used in the past. If you play with a full bed of
Synthetic Gut only, give it a try. I think this string would benefit best if used in a hybrid.

There is perhaps no place better known for adventure travel than this corner of the Himalaya. From the northern border, defined by the tallest mountains on earth, to the southern border, shrouded in fertile lush green land, this nation is diverse and beautiful every inch along the way.
While it certainly true that most travelers to Nepal come to visit and explore the unparalleled peaks, more often than not, those same travelers leave after falling in love with the people and the culture. It is this combination of mountains and people that have long made Nepal one of the most treasured adventure travel destinations on the planet. Just as the Nepalis have influenced these mountains, cutting terraced fields along their flanks and cutting trails and roads through them, so too have these mountains carved the soul and character of these hardy, warm-hearted people.
While for years now Nepal has drawn the most adventurous spirits on the planet to explore the mountains, rivers, hills and villages of this small nation, many of the best kept off the beaten path secrets have yet to become widely known. We are insiders in Nepal, and we'd love to share some of these secrets with you.
Our Nepal Sample Itineraries
Nepal is incredibly diverse, and so are the ways to explore it! Here you're find some of our sample itineraries, meant to provide a basis for what is possible here. You can trek for weeks in remote corners of the Himalaya or heli-trek the biggest mountains on earth in 12 days. You can explore the once Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang by horse or spend time exploring the medieval cities of Kathmandu. The choice is yours and our samples are here to give you an idea of what we can create to fit your dreams.

|Wendel Palmer
By Surae Chinn
WASHINGTON (WUSA) - A DC Police officer used his position as a youth choir director to sexually abuse an underage girl, police said.
Forty-four-year-old Wendel Palmer appeared in a DC courtroom Thursday afternoon where he pleaded not guilty.
He was also granted a separation order which means he will be isolated from the general jail population.
Palmer is the youth choir director at his family church, which was founded by his father and now lead by his brother.
A family member who came out of the courthouse had nothing to say, but gave one another a nod when Palmer entered the courtroom.
Court documents say Palmer sexually abused a 6th grader who was 11 years old at the time for a period of two years, between 2004 and 2006.
One of Palmer's neighbors saw a number of police officers at his Fort Washington home earlier this week.
She says she is shocked and saddened by the news. She says she feels for the girl who was allegedly victimized.
Police say most of the incidents happened during choir rehearsals in the pastor's office at Bethuel Temple Church of the Christ Apostolic Inc. in Southeast D.C.
According to court papers, the abuse happened during rehearsal breaks when Palmer would send the other children to a store, leaving them alone.
The girl, who is now 19 years old, reported the crimes back in March of last year and allegedly says there were too many sexual incidents to count.
But Palmer is charged, right now, with one count of child sex abuse.
Palmer is a 22 year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department and works in the 6th district. He is on paid administrative leave.
According to court documents the girl picked Palmer in a photo lineup of 9 different pictures of police officers.
Palmer is being held without bond until his detention hearing next Tuesday.

Claire is a Registered Nurse, Certified Diabetes Educator, and Certified Pump Trainer. Her personal experience of life with diabetes, and her educational background in Family and Consumer Economics, Nursing, Nutrition, Social Work, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and Experiential Education, provides the foundation for her work in development of diabetes education programs.
Her work experience includes:
- service as Diabetes Educator and Clinical Research Coordinator for University Diabetes & Endocrine Consultants in Chattanooga TN
- Insulin pump specialist and certified pump trainer for all major makes and models of insulin pumps and CGM
- Health and Diabetes Educator for the Hamilton County Department of Education in Chattanooga TN

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1978, she has worn an insulin pump for nearly 25 years. As a Diabetes Educator she finds that it is easy to tell others what they should do in order to manage their diabetes, but as a person who also has diabetes, she has learned that it takes much more than factual information. Claire says that living with diabetes requires inner wisdom, a willingness to listen to that inner wisdom, and a great deal of compassion for self and others. She believes that living well with diabetes is an ART which can be cultivated, and when learned, adds dimensions to life which are often missed.

Assessment and Accreditation at
Grand Valley State University
An integral part of GVSU's commitment to creating and sustaining a quality educational environment, the Office of Assessment and Accreditation focuses on ensuring the University as a whole and all of its many components maintain the highest levels of accreditation for which they are eligible, as well as on promoting effective teaching and learning across all disciplines, schools, departments and programs.
In collaboration with faculty and student committees and the University's administration, the Office directs a comprehensive institutional assessment program spanning all campuses, including evaluation of learning outcomes and the student-faculty learning experience. Among the Office's objectives is improving both, using data acquired from far-ranging and in-depth assessment activities that span all campuses and teaching-learning interactions. The Office plays an expanding and essential role in preparing and presenting reports to a range of internal and external constituents, including students, faculty, parents, employers, legislators, the University's Board of Trustees and national accrediting bodies about the processes and outcomes of the educational enterprise.
The objective of the Office's accreditation activities is to ensure that all educational programming provided by GVSU meets or exceeds the levels of quality prescribed by national and regional accrediting bodies. The Office plays many roles in these accreditation processes to ensure new accreditations are secured and existing accreditations are maintained on a timely, efficient basis, including monitoring institutional compliance with accreditation requirements on an ongoing basis.
- identify and review existing institutional assessment approaches and strategies:
- communicate findings broadly within campus community regarding existing and needed assessments;
- identify and review accreditation schedules and requirements for all programs, departments and other programmatic units of the University;
- align accreditation and assessment requirements to achieve economies of scale and synergies, wherever possible;
- provide assistance to faculty and administrators with the design of coordinated assessment activities campus-wide
- work collaboratively with the University Assessment Committee to ensure meaningful and relevant assessment practices at the University

This major prepares students for careers in agencies working with people with disabilities, including both adults and children. Agencies for people with disabilities provide a variety of services, including education, advocacy, case management, job training and support, residential services, and social/leisure services. The major is designed for students interested in working with individuals with disabilities outside of the public school setting. Because the major is interdisciplinary,you will benefit from relevant courses in related disciplines within the university in addition to special education, including options in psychology, social work, sociology and criminal justice. The orientation of this major strongly favors a goal of inclusive practices for all people with disabilities; therefore, it is not merely a mechanism to relate research-based practices but also to promote self-advocacy for social justice and integration in all aspects of life for people with disabilities.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of the program, introductory courses are needed in more than one major area. For that reason, the total required hours for the major is somewhat higher than for some majors. Additionally, an internship is required to help you apply and provide a forum for discussion of the theoretical principles encountered in earlier coursework. A minimum of 41 semester hours comprises the major. Note that this degree does not carry Illinois State Board of Education certification.

This intimate exhibition of Shaw's innovative paintings also features the work of Ernest Shaw, a Coppin instructor and nephew of Luke Shaw, who has created a striking portrait of his uncle specifically for this exhibit. Together, these diverse and important works honor our history and break new ground for the legacy of Coppin State University.

Feser Named WHL Western Conference Player of Year
The Tri-City Americans season has been over for a couple of weeks, but the honors keep rolling in for Justin Feser.
Feser has been named the WHL Western Conference player of the year and the conference's nominee for WHL player of the year.
Feser, who led the team in scoring this year with 106 points while finishing fourth overall in the league, also broke the league's iron man mark which had stood for a couple of decades.
Feser played in 321 straight games over his career--a mark which does not take into account the more than fifty playoff games he played in during the streak's tenure.
Feser was signed by the Coyotes organization after the season to a tryout contract. Adam Lowry of Swift Current is the Eastern Conference nominee. The award will be handed out May 1st

A lil sass for ur boot-tae shoes !
"They are actually comfortable, and easy to walk in...BUT...I don't recommend going for long walks on concrete, I can see the ball of your feet suffering and the little plastic thingy on the end of the heel will tear up. If you are going to dinner or hanging at a club, good! They are very cute in person and will give your feet some serious sass!!!!!!"

Ancient Indian Amber Preserves 52-million-year-old Biological Partnership
by AMNH on
A rare fossil discovered by an international team of scientists that includes Museum researchers documents a biological partnership that makes the survival of most terrestrial plants possible. For 52 million years in a piece of Indian amber the size of a walnut, the fossil preserved a symbiotic relationship between soil fungi and plant roots called mycorrhizae.
In this longstanding relationship, the fine thread-like cells of the fungus increase the root surface for the plant, enabling the host plant to access more nutrients. In return, the fungus receives energy from the plant in the form of sugars. This symbiosis also has been shown to enhance a plant's resistance to pathogens and the effects of drought. This mycorrhizal relationship is believed to have arisen more than 400 million years ago, as plants began to colonize terrestrial habitats.
New Book by Museum Anthropologist
by AMNH on
Located high up in the Andes Mountains of Peru, the now-deserted Inka city of Huánuco Pampa was a place of festivals, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from the surrounding area. Only a few hundred people lived in the city year-round, working to prepare the massive complex for religious and political social functions. This unique urban center is explored in a book recently released as a volume of the Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History.
The Hayden Letters
by AMNH on
In 1950, the Museum's Hayden Planetarium began accepting reservations for the first trip into space as part of a publicity campaign for its exhibition Conquest of Space. Letters poured in from around the world with requests to book trips to the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and beyond, capturing the public's passion and curiosity for space exploration. One would-be space traveler even drew detailed diagrams of how he would get to space, what he would wear, and where he would live—appearing to anticipate some of the designs highlighted in Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I remember the first year I didn't celebrate Christmas with my family... we used to get together every Xmas eve, my Grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins - EVERYONE. I was in my early 20's when I didn't visit back home (was living about 500km away) and it was kind of strange..but then I came up with MY OWN Traditions and started to collect my OWN Decorations and such.
I hope you find comfort in your personal traditions, Silverbells... and of course remember all the great Christmases in the Past that you had with your family!

The role of testosterone
Testosterone is the main male hormone. It causes the reproductive organs to develop, and promotes erections and sexual behavior. Testosterone also causes secondary sexual characteristics at puberty, such as a deeper voice and hair growth on the body and face. The testes make most of this hormone. The adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys, also make small amounts of the hormone in both men and women.
The hypothalamus region of the brain controls the amount of hormone the body makes. When the testosterone level gets low, the hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. The pituitary sends a hormone messenger through the bloodstream to tell the testicles to speed up production.
Men's hormone levels vary widely, but most men have more testosterone in the bloodstream than they need. A man with a low level of testosterone may have trouble getting or keeping erections and may lose his desire for sex. In the healthy younger man, hormone problems are rare and anxiety is the main cause of erection problems. (Common medical causes for erection problems include medicines and problems with the blood vessels or nerves in the pelvic area.)
The normal pattern of arousal and erection
An erection begins when the brain sends a signal down the spinal cord and through the nerves that sweep down into the pelvis. Some of the important nerves that produce an erection run close to the rectum and along both sides of the prostate gland.
When this signal is received, the spongy tissue inside the shaft of the penis relaxes and the arteries (blood vessels) that carry blood into the penis expand. As the walls of these blood vessels stretch, blood races into the penis at up to 50 times its usual speed. The blood fills 2 spongy tubes of tissue inside the shaft of the penis. The veins in the penis, which normally drain blood out of the penis, squeeze shut so that more blood stays inside. This causes a great increase in blood pressure inside the penis, which produces a firm erection.
The nerves that allow a man to feel pleasure when the penis is touched run in a different path from the nerves that control blood flow and produce an erection. Even if nerve damage or blocked blood vessels keep a man from getting erections, he can almost always feel pleasure from being touched. He can also still reach orgasm.
A third set of nerves, which run higher up in a man's body, controls ejaculation of semen.
How male orgasm happens
A man's orgasm has 2 stages. The first stage is called emission. This is when the prostate, seminal vesicles, and vas deferens (the tubes joining the testicles with the seminal vesicles) contract. During emission, the semen is deposited near the top of the urethra (the tube running through the penis), so that it's ready to be pushed out (ejaculated). At this time, a small valve at the top of the tube shuts to keep the semen from going upward and into the bladder. A man feels emission as "the point of no return," when he knows he's about to have an orgasm. Emission is controlled by the sympathetic or involuntary nervous system.
Ejaculation is the second stage of orgasm. It's controlled by the same nerves that carry pleasure signals when the genital area is caressed. Those nerves cause the muscles around the base of the penis to squeeze in rhythm, pushing the semen through the urethra and out of the penis. At the same time, messages of pleasure are sent to the man's brain. This sensation is known as orgasm or climax.
