By now, I'm sure you've all heard about the devastating earthquakes in Haiti. After the 7.0 quake last Tuesday, the airwaves have been flooded with scenes of flattened buildings, homeless families, and crying children. But there have also been scenes of hope. And even through numerous aftershocks — including a 6.1 quake yesterday morning — we've witnessed seemingly impossible rescues and joyful reunions.
These are the stories that relief workers focus on to keep them going strong, both in Haiti and in the U.S. And theirs are the stories that Scholastic Kid Reporters around the country bring to you this week.
Across the nation, Kid Reporters have been talking with folks doing their part for the relief effort.
For the full articles, information on how you can help, and continuing coverage of the crisis in Haiti, visit the Scholastic Kids Press Corps special report.

Can it play Crysis 3?

Turn back the clocks to 2007. It was the beginning of the GeForce 8800 GTX's phenomenally long reign as the best graphics card around, but also a period that saw more and more PC gaming titles relinquished to mere console ports. They barely touched the surface of Nvidia's graphics cards' pixel pushing - one of the main reasons it had such a long life.

The secret has been out for a while now that the denim work shirt is back and better than ever. As with any trend, boundaries are going to get pushed to see who can take it to the next level. It seems like the Moloja shirt from Wood Wood is doing just that. With alternating shades of plum and navy stripes on medium wash denim, there is a hint at the nautical trend of fall, but the shirt definitely has a more urban feel than anybody needs out at sea. The press studs give it even extra flare and the combination of these two elements takes what would be an everyday shirt and turns it into a bold fashion statement.We like the risk that the shirt takes and any guy that is willing to take it along with the shirt–well that is exactly the kind of man we like to see! Get yours at Goodhood.

Diesel Men's Basket Boot - Real good buy
"I've been a fan of the Diesel brand both for their clothing and shoe line. This pair of boots did not disappoint and truly lives up to the Diesel brand for being both stylish and comfortable. I have many pairs of boots and this one is fast becoming my favorite go to boots."

Great boots ... instantly comfortable and hip.
"As a huge chelsea boot fan I decided to give the Diesel Basket a try. When I opened the box I knew I would love them on. They look nicely worn in, but not overly so. Slipping them on was easy and they were comfortable immediately. Very flexible and super soft leather make these the perfect kick about town boots. The support provided by the innersole was very impressive as well. If you like the way these look (as I did), then the comfort and fit are icing on the cake."

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Paula Wellnitz was born and raised in Elgin, Ill., and lived there until she was 19. Her parents then moved to California, but that didn't last long and three months later the family was back in Illinois. Paula had three older brothers and she was the only daughter.
In 1948, Paula entered the Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters located in Huntington, Ind. at a place called Victory Noll. She stayed there for three years for training and education. Her first assignment was in Redlands, Calif. where she would teach religious education. Along with her teaching duties, she would make home visits for the Catholic Churches in the area. Part of her duties was to take a census of the number of Catholics there. She was in Redlands for two years.
From Redlands, she went to Coachella, Calif. where she performed the same duties as in Redlands. She worked with and taught religious education to all ages. She stayed in Coachella for two years also.
Next, she went to Brawley, Calif., a small town just 25 miles from the Mexico border. She was in Brawley for four years and was then transferred to San Pedro, Calif. During her years in San Pedro, someone mentioned to her that she should become a counselor and she began to research that possibility.
Her next duty station was in Rocky Ford, Colo. for two years. In each of the places she lived, she worked for the priests by teaching and doing home visits. She then moved back to San Pedro for six more years.
"Up until this time, you went where you were needed. Then changes began to happen in the church and we were given the opportunity to choose where we would like to go. I went to Boulder, Colo. where I worked only with adults and taught religious education," said Paula. The pastors in the area had put together a program and she was helping with the implementation.
After a year in Boulder, the pastors decided the program wasn't working the way they thought it should, and so for the next year she moved to Denver. She began a fellowship program with two psychologists where she learned to use the psychological techniques for her own benefit and the benefit of others. For this year, she was also working with a parish doing part time religious education work.
Even with all her travelling around, she managed to find the time to continue her education and received her bachelors degree in sociology from Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles. During her time in Denver in a special program, she had the opportunity to earn her masters degree, but did not and regretted that decision.
When her work in Denver was done, she went to Nashville, Tenn. to work at the Glenmary Home Missioners, which were a group of priests and brothers, in the religious education office. She worked in the family programs where she helped write the programs and visited other missions to teach them how to use the programs. Her territory ranged from mid-Pennsylvania to mid-Georgia to Eastern Texas.
While in San Pedro, she became aware of the Seattle University Masters Of Religious Education. They had a summer school program and she attended this program for three summers and earned her masters degree in religious education.
Her older brother had moved her mother to Seattle due to failing health. Paula moved there to take care of her mother after she left Nashville. She began to look for a job and ended up working at a security agency at an information desk. She did that for a couple of months and then as a secretary for Catholic charities.
When her mother passed away, she took a position as a pastoral associate in Everett, Wash. She was there for one year and she organized their religious education program, started a program for senior citizens, and did some counseling.
"The longer I stayed in the area, the more I realized there was not mental health services for those people in the rural areas of the county. She moved to Granite Falls and began to travel around to the rural towns to offer those services," said Paula. She took a part time job in a group home for developmentally disabled adults. She was there for four years.
Paula learned during those four years of a place where she could earn her masters degree in counseling psychology. She contacted a tutor in Salem, Ore. and earned her second masters degree. When that was accomplished, she realized that she did not want to live in Washington any more.
She began to look for a job East of the Cascade Mountains and ended up in South Dakota working for the Sacred Heart Fathers. She began their counseling center in the town of Eagle Butte. "When I hear people complain about the cold, I have to laugh. One Christmas Eve during my time in South Dakota, the temperature with the wind chill was -125 degrees," Paula said.
From South Dakota, Paula went back to Colorado, a little town called Hot Sulphur Springs and worked in a counseling center. In 1991, she moved to Orangeville and she went to work for Four Corners Behavioral Health. She worked there for six years before retiring.
Prior to her retirement, she opened her home for a retreat. Her retreat, "Home Place" was started because there was nothing available in Southern Utah for that purpose. She has day retreats, with some private retreats upon arrangement. The retreat offers a quiet place to contemplate and study from her library of theology, self-help, nature and non-fiction books.
Paula has advertised the Home Place retreat in national magazines and as a result has had visitors from Virginia, Nebraska, Arizona and California. She also had one priest from England who was traveling and heard about it while visiting Salt Lake. She offers spiritual consultation at the retreat if the visitors want, but welcomes any group to come to Home Place.
"I have recently learned Reiki. It is a process that originally began in Japan, with deep roots from India. It helps people use medical processes for physical problems. It deals with energy points in the body," said Paula.
Paula's retirement is very busy. She is active in outreach programs for the church, she attends and contributes to many community meetings, and she belongs to and is active in the Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She also drives for the health department's Care-A-Van program taking people to doctors appointments.
For more information about Home Place where everyone is welcome, call 748-2230.

A Mysterious Operation
RAY: This puzzler was sent in by a fellow named Bob Eckert. I didn't even really have to obfuscate... but I did.
TOM: You certainly did! This guy's letter is about three lines long, and you've got a page and a half of scribbling on it.
RAY: What can I say? Here we go. I'm going to read you a sentence that has five words missing. The missing words will each be denoted by a "blank." Your job, if you so choose, is to fill in the blanks.
"The (blank) doctor was (blank) (blank) to operate, because she had (blank) (blank)."
So there are five words that are missing.
TOM: I could make up all kinds of fill-ins for that.
RAY: But, here are the constraints. The letters used to fill in the first blank - after the word "the" - are going to be the same letters used to fill in the two blanks after the word "was" and, the two blanks after the word "had."
So, if for example there are ten letters in that first blank, then the two blanks after word "was" will use those same ten letters, but to make two words. That will also be true for the two blanks after the word "had."
But here's the twist. You cannot re-arrange the letters. Only the spaces between the letters can be changed.
I know of one answer. I'm sure there are others.
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

Canadians Bansley and Maloney place career-best seventh at Quebec Open Jeep
QUEBEC CITY- Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto will earn a career best result on the FIVB World Tour beach volleyball circuit with a seventh place after losing their quarterfinal match on Saturday at the Quebec Open Jeep event.
Bansley and Maloney, who strung together three exciting wins on Friday to keep their medal hopes alive, fell to third seeds Maria Clara Salgado Rufino and Carolina Solberg Salgado of Brazil 21-17, 21-15 on centre court.
The Canadians will pocket $7,600 in prize money.
''It was a great tournament overall,'' said Bansley. ''I was so proud of our play. Nothing beats playing on centre court, at home, in front of packed house.
On Saturday's match Bansley said she and her partner learned lessons that will make them even better.
''Our inconsistency made the difference,'' she told la Presse canadienne about Saturday's match. ''The top-ranked teams don't make very many errors and make you pay when you do. Our goal is to attain the same consistency as the world's best teams.''
This was the first World Tour stop in Canada since 2007. Tournament has been a huge success and the large and encouraging crowds seemed to inspire all the Canadian pairs who by far had their best tournament overall this season.
The next stop on the tour starts Tuesday in Stare Jablonki, Poland.

Security Awareness For Our Guests
At Virgin Australia, the safety and security of our guests, cargo, aircraft and staff is our number one priority. By constantly monitoring our facilities and processes; assessing current affairs; and implementing latest technologies, we are able to assure excellent airline security. Additionally, our pilots, cabin crew, ground crew and reservation staff undergo security training and are updated of any changes within the industry. Our team of experienced security professionals are committed to providing you with a safe and secure environment, which in turn allows you to enjoy your Virgin Australia experience. To ensure this high level of safety and security is maintained, we are committed to meeting all state and federal regulatory requirements. These regulations are designed to enhance the security of your travel. We believe that it is only fair that you are aware of the effect that these regulations have on your travel, and provide you with some handy tips as to what you can do to ensure a smooth experience.
If you intend to travel with an item and you are not sure if it is permitted to travel, it is best to check well before you arrive at the airport. Feel free to contact our Guest Contact Centre, who will provide you with the correct advice.
Our Guest Contact Centre are your best contact for information relating to the carriage of firearms and dangerous goods. In most cases, these items can travel, provided they are packaged correctly and declared to the Virgin Australia ground staff.
The Guest Contact Centre number is 13 6789 (within Australia) 0800 670 000 (within New Zealand) or +61 7 3295 2284.
When you arrive at the check-in counter you will be asked a number of questions regarding the contents of your baggage to ensure that it does not contain any dangerous or flammable items. These are serious questions that require serious responses. Note: We take jokes about saftey seriously.
You will also be asked if your carry-on baggage contains any sharp objects or cutting instruments. Sharp items not only include knives and forks, but also everyday articles such as scissors. This is the time to remove such items and place them in your checked baggage.
Security Screening Point
If you are flying with us, or just seeing someone off at the boarding gate, you will enter a sterile area. A sterile area is a secure screened area of the airport that does not permit entry of dangerous goods or items that can be used as weapons. In order to be permitted into the sterile area, you and your possessions must be screened and cleared by the security staff prior to entry. This may be conducted by a number of different methods. If you have special needs or believe that you are in possession of an object that may cause concern, please inform the security personnel. In the event that you are carrying a laptop computer, you will be required to remove the computer from your bag when passing through the screening point.
If you are in possession of a prohibited or restricted item, you will be asked to either make alternative arrangements for the article or you may surrender it to the security personnel. Refusal to subject yourself or your property to the screening process will result in you not being permitted into the sterile area. We appreciate your patience and co-operation with this process that is imperative to the overall security of the airport and aircraft.
In the event that you require a sharp item to be taken into the sterile area for medical purposes, for example a syringe for diabetes, you will need documentation in the form of a letter from a qualified medical practitioner and the corresponding medication that you require for your condition. It is advisable that you declare your situation to Virgin Australia airport staff and staff at the security screening point to avoid any complications.
Welcome Aboard
While onboard, if you have any concerns or information relating to the safety and security of the flight, please speak to a cabin crew member who will promptly assist with your inquiry.
Virgin Australia Security Vision
To provide a secure and safe guest-friendly environment, inwhich both our guests and staff can enjoy the Virgin Australia experience.
Enhanced Security Measures on International Flights
Carriage of liquids, gels and/or aerosols (LAGs) onboard International flights is subject to further security restrictions. Please refer to Enhanced Security Measures on International Flights for further details.

Air Conditioning can be described as a process in which the
temperature, humidity, quality and distribution of the air in
the environment is controlled. There are two specific
reasons for the use of the air conditioner. Comfort, when the
weather is humid and hot air is cooled during warmer months. When it comes to cooling a room, one
of the most important considerations is how the air circulates. As a
general rule, in order for a room to remain comfortably cool, a
sufficient volume of air must be circulated at all times. This allows
both the moisture to be drawn into the air conditioner and absorbed
from the room, and also removes any moisture and heat surrounding the
occupants of the room, allowing them to remain comfortable. Both
central air conditioners and smaller, window-mounted or wall-mounted
room air conditioners are designed not only to carry away moisture and
heat, but also to circulate air. Split air
conditioners are available with Muricken's Group. Supply high quality

- Fly Line DLX Analog
Inverter is an electronic generator system which is specially
designed by some modern electronic components. In this
operational amplifier we can also say it is an inverting
amplifier depending upon some basic transistor configuration
principles. During power failure Analog Inverter provides power
supply with the help of a battery which is already charged
before the power failure. Within micro seconds this device
converts stored DC Voltage into 240V AC so as to run all of the house
hold appliances as well as office equipments.

This Uninterrupted Power Supply tracks the mains supply in terms of
Voltage and Frequency variations. Once the incoming mains supply
exceeds the specified limitations, the Uninterrupted Power Supply
switches on the Inverter to continue to supply power to the
required load. This is an inverter which switches on in a few milliseconds,
whereas, it takes a longer time in UPS. This is commonly used in computers and other valuable
equipments which needs a continuous flow of energy.

L'Oreal (PINK:LRLCY), the leading cosmetics manufacturer in the world, arrived in India 15 years ago and has been growing at about 30% year-on-year in the last decade. [1] It then comes as no surprise that L'Oreal has decided to sharpen its focus on the Indian consumer. L'Oreal's sixth R&D center worldwide is expected to start operations in Mumbai, India by the end of this year. What's more, almost 70% of the launches from the new facility shall be designed and developed for the Indian market. LOreal shall have to face stiff competition from Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) and Unilever (NYSE:UL), which have been present in India for much longer and have customized their product offering considerably to match the Indian consumer's tastes and spending power.
We value L'Oreal with a $23.27 stock price estimate, roughly at parity with its current market price. Here we take a closer look at L'Oreal's moves in India.
- Why Is L'Oreal Trying To Sell Off Its Natural Beauty Brand, The Body Shop?
- Key Takeaways From L'Oreal's 2016 Annual Earnings
- What To Watch For In L'Oreal's Q4 2016 Earnings
- Here's How L'Oreal Is Benefitting From A Higher Digital Spend
- Here's Why L'Oreal USA Might Have Made Some Major Management Changes
- Some Of The Key Trends That Will Drive Sales In The Skincare Segment In 2017
Negligible Impact on L'Oreal's Stock
India still insignificant within L'Oreal
India does not appear in the top five countries for L'Oreal, which happen to be U.S., France, China, Germany and Brazil. With close to $160 million in sales, India still contributes less than 1% of L'Oreal's overall global sales of around $25 billion. Even a sustained growth, at historical rates of close to 30%, presents negligible upside to L'Oreal's stock.
Premium Nature of L'Oreal Cosmetics
L'Oreal cosmetics carry a premium image and price tag, which still have limited traction in India. L'Oreal would not only have to invest in R&D but also in local sourcing and manufacturing to be able to cater to the price-conscious Indian consumer profitably. The double-digit growth in the Indian economy can be leveraged by offering volume at competitive price-points. L'Oreal's portfolio in India does not only need customization, as is being targeted through the upcoming R&D center, but it also needs high volume manufacturing and an extensive distribution network across the vast landscape.
So What Does L'Oreal's Increased Focus on India Mean?
While L'Oreal setting up an R&D center in India leverages the expertise of the qualified local staff, it is also an attempt to achieve more cost-effective R&D spending, given the relatively lower cost of labor and manufacturing in India.

Amazing guys like that are still in the league. He is terrible. The Bucs D was terrible.

Leon Kossoff prints and drawings after Nicolas Poussin
The Director of the National Gallery of Australia, Dr Brian Kennedy, is pleased to announce the forthcoming exhibition Drawn to Painting: Leon Kossoff prints and drawings after Nicolas Poussin (17 March 17 June 2001).
Dr Kennedy said: The Gallery is delighted to present the work of Leon Kossoff, an artist who has engaged critical attention internationally for his sustained commitment to the art of drawing and printing. He has remarked that drawing is an attempt to bring light to paper that is already white. In the hands of a master like Kossoff, we relish the experience of mark making. This is an exhibition for those who enjoy visual poetry.
Drawn to Painting consists of 44 etchings and drawings in compressed charcoal, pastel and watercolour. To mark the exhibition of this important body of Kossoffs recent work at the National Gallery of Australia, a small group of paintings and drawings principally from Australian public collections is also on display. These works cover the period from the 1960s to more recent times.
Leon Kossoff (born London 1926) has recently enjoyed international recognition as a leading British artist. Notably in the mid-1990s he was chosen to represent Britain at the Venice International Biennale, and honoured with a retrospective at the Tate Gallery in London. In addition, the National Gallery in London invited Kossoff to contribute works inspired by the permanent collection to its major exhibition to mark the millennium, Encounters. Previously Kossoffs intuitive, tactile style and subject matter of urban landscapes and intimate figure studies had been at odds with prevailing developments in modern art.
Kossoff studied art in post war London at St Martins School of Art and the Royal College of Art, but found the traditional method of life-class teaching rigid and inhibiting. During the early 1950s Kossoff also took evening classes at Borough Polytechnic under the tuition of David Bomberg. The experience was a revelation and the young artist developed a comparable method, which combined careful study and analysis of his subject with an improvisatory, intuitive manner.
According to Senior Curator, Jane Kinsman, It was early in his career that Kossoff began to draw from the Old Masters a practice he has continued to the present day. Although working from great artists is a common practice, Kossoffs approach differs from that of Picasso, for example, whose interpretation of say a Rembrandt, a Delacroix or a Manet was often more combative and a means by which Picasso could favourably compare himself to the masters of European art. Kossoff instead considered the process, whether in paint, pen or charcoal, as a step in learning how to draw. As the artist himself noted, Every day I awake with the idea that TODAY I MUST TEACH MYSELF TO DRAW. I have also each day to experience the fact that images can only emerge out of chaos.
The 1995 painting retrospective of Nicolas Poussin in London inspired Kossoff to create a large group of prints and drawings after the 17th-century master: he was allowed to work in the galleries before opening time over an eight-week period. Poussins measured compositions and careful selection of gesture and palette proved an inspiring source material for the contemporary British artists intuitive, expressive style. The marriage of Kossoffs vigorous line and the Baroque artists dramatic Classical and Biblical subject matter is clearly evident in the artists selection from this body of work which forms the basis of the exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia.

Skip to comments.MY OPUS
Posted on 07/12/2012 7:40:34 AM PDT by Lazamataz
Hi. I'm America. I've decided enough is enough. This is my opus.
You know, I've been on this continent for about 236 years. I've had some really great moderators (George Washington, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Jefferson) and some really awful ones (Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, Woodrow Wilson).
But I just cannot take the administration that is currently in power. This Obama, or as I like to call him, OTrauma.... he's killing me. He's killing me and he's doing it on purpose. At this rate, if he is given another term, I'm dead!
Not that the opposition is much better. I saw a bumper sticker recently, it was a campaign-style political one. It said "Mitt Romney. Meh." Mitt will forstall my death by a few years, but he's sure no cure.
And no matter who is elected, it seems like I'm seeing more drones, more TSA crotch groping, more monitoring and surveillance of my people. I'm seeing my people's rights diminished daily -- why, just the other day, I saw the Supreme Court rule it was permissable to force people to buy a product or service. WTF? This is NOT who I am!!!! Taxes look to skyrocket and the left is still coming after my people's guns. I am seeing things go more socialist and communist every day.
So I guess I am outta here. I am no longer going to sit around on this continent. Not sure where I am going yet, but I guarentee you, the spark of my freedom will take hold somewhere. Y'all can keep your USSA.
So, this is America, signing off.
America might be gone, but we all know Laz ain't goin nowhere.
Kinda a fun piece. Not Freeper Editorial quality, but fun.
You people annoy me.
Galt's Gulch?
Leave it to Laz to take the p!$$ out of the recent rash of opuses (opi?).
This was America talking. I just relayed the message. Her arms are too long to work a keyboard.
Too many ignorant/lazy/selfish/entitled to fight off.
I weep over my children's future.
Hang in there Laz! :)
I haven't given up. When you look at the dark side all the time your mind suffers. Look for the silver lining in that raincloud. Things will change for the better. Look foreword to the administration falling apart. Look at all the new inventions. Get your head out of the dirt and look up.
Damn dude, you had me scared for a minute that you were opusing... Whew...
"Hi. I'm America."
Which America are you? North, Central or South?
Been around 236 years? The Americas have been on the maps for over 400 years.
John Roberts pisses me off too!
I am leaving all opuses or opera which ever you like as plural.
Will the last conservative out please turn off the lights and take the incandescent light bulb..
*standing ovation*
Or start our own country (again).
Heh. It didn't go very far the first time. :-/
And yes, I've been good, just ask my wife.
Ain't nuttin wrong with dat. Just sayin.
Drat, I can't find the like button!
We'll miss you America - but can you verify the rumor that you're leaving to focus your efforts to hit Sweden?
What a drama queen.
Only rates a 2/10, I'm afraid. Counting against it: proper use of grammar and spelling, as well as no questioning of financial motives.
That makes it an OPUS FAIL, sorry.

A badonkadonk bike rack.
BTW, your version is a lot more light than the one I've offered several times:
America is dead and gone. The final nail in the coffin was the 2008 election of an African communist as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Theres no point hanging onto the past.
America had a great run. Remember it fondly for what it was.
The United States of America is now little more than a big land mass populated by cretins and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors and redistribute it to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.
The parasites outnumber the hosts now, and theres no going back. The Democrats have won. Throw some cold water in your face and figure out how to grab every government dime you possibly can before the parasites gobble it all up. Every man for himself. Good luck, everybody.
I want my country back!
Where's sweet land of liberty?
But the nagging question remains .... would Laz hit this opus?

When it comes to classic denim, look no further than Wrangler. The brand started in 1904 with the Hudson Overall Company, a denim manufacturer. Over time and after many name changes, Wrangler came to be in the 1940s. And when you're a brand as legendary as Wrangler, you want your denim to be known for what it is–that's why these 7 icons make it so easy to spot these great quality jeans:
1. Flat Rivets: Rivets make sure that your denim stays together through the daily wear and tear you put it through, but ones that aren't flat can be really uncomfortable! Wrangler solves that problem with a flat style so this won't ever be an issue again.
2. Watch Pocket: Originally designed by expert tailor Ben Lichtenstein, this watch pocket was deeper than others and makes sure that no matter what you put in it is staying right where you want it.
3. Felled Seams: While the comfort that was originally sought from the seam sitting flat against your leg came from the popularity of horseback riding, nowadays it is just as important. After all, who knows what kind of situation you will get yourself into, especially when wearing jeans as great as these.
4. Belt Loops: Unlike other brands, Wrangler jeans have seven belt loops opposed to common five. These two extra belt loops ensure your jeans stay in place, all the time.
5. "W" Stitching": On the back of every pair of Wrangler jeans, you can find two "w"s stitched on the pockets for "Western Wear". There is also a second layer of fabric stitched into the back pocket, so you know these jeans are made to last.
6.The Patch: When these jeans were first being made, you could find a patch that says "Blue Bell's Wrangler Authentic Western Jeans" on the back right pocket, but today just the name Wrangler will be found. Simple, but powerful.
7. Rope logo: The rope logo signifies everything that Wrangler is–tough, lasting denim that is up for anything. Denim for the adventurer, no matter what the situation.
See them in order, below:
[nggallery id=924]
These seven icons can still be found on Wrangler jeans today, and we like to think that when it comes to something that has stayed the same for this long…well why fix something that isn't broken.
