On October 12, 2001, Governor Gray Davis signed into law Assembly Bill 540 that added a new section to the California Education Code. The law created a new exemption from the payment of nonresident tuition for certain nonresident students who have attended high school in California and received a high school diploma or its equivalent.
There are certain requirements that must be met in order to qualify as an AB 540 student:
Your high school attendance in California does not need to be in consecutive years. For example, if you were a high school student in 9th and 10th grade in California, left the state of California for 11th grade, but returned to complete 12th grade, you DO QUALIFY as an AB 540 student.
You can download and print the affidavit and bring it with other required paperwork. The affidavit is not shared with any other entities and is for internal GCC use only. Click here to download the form.
AB 540 students cannot receive any form of financial aid. The status is only for paying in-state tuition fees and does not qualify students for any other financial aid.
GCC has its own privately funded scholarships for AB 540 students and additional ways of supporting these students financially. Please go the Financial Assistance for AB 540 Students section of this website.
You will find useful information on this website for both high school students as well as current college students.
Additionally, there are resources and services available for high schools and parents.

Maybe Sasuke would join the akatsuki after he killed Itachi, Just to learn from them and then turn on them. I think that Naruto is going to fight the leader of the akatsuki later on though. I don't think kakashi will live through the story.
Itachi and Sasuke will join together for a little bit and then fight each other later on. And Naruto will just let them fight each other. And then he will go after the leader of the akatsuki. Just speculation but I am probably going to be wrong.

The Best Product I Ever Used!I do not review products often and I have tried so many name brand hair treatments and this one if by far the best I have ever used! I have even had salon treatments and this was better! My hair is medium length and wavy and I flat iron it and color every 3 months. My hair was looking so dry with bad split ends and was getting very frizzy. I have never had results with a hair treatment like this one. It is amazing. I could tell when I blow dried my hair that it made a huge difference! My hair was not dry, it was shiny and it looked so much better. I am so glad I decided to try this. I can't say enough about this product and this is the first time I blow dried my hair and I had little frizz and it was actually soft and not dry and coarse feeling. I am going to stick with this and use it faithfully every 2 weeks.May 25, 2011Lisa B. / PaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Short And Simply...the most FABULOUS product i've EVER used on my hair!!! i bleached my hair and even my HAIR dresser was worried about the amount of breakage in my hair - it was BAD! luckily, i had already ordered this product and it came in the mail the same day! i went from what i'd consider 85% breakage to BEAUTIFUL hair in the matter of no more than 3 days!! it left my hair soft, manageable but without leaving it greasy. lovelovelove!
i will continue to use this and recommend it to ALL of my friends! if you have severely damaged hair, you NEED this product!Feb 20, 2011CourtHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

PhenomenalI have NEVER used a product I have loved as much as Nexxus Emergencee. Most other treatments i have tried make my hair look nice for a day or two after I use it, but this makes my hair look wonderful for over a week! If you're thinking about buying it, DO IT! You will be glad you didJan 15, 2011Elizabeth C. / Winston- Salem, NCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair

Amazing!!This is awesome!
I would recommend this to anyone who has hair that is so damaged that it is breaking off and dry.
I had colored my hair with Feria after having colored it three weeks before, after using highly chlorinated water every day to wash my hair with, and using heat to style it. My hair was breaking off every time I so much as touched it. I was depressed with the condition of it to the point where I wouldn't touch or brush it, and I felt as if I had to handle it with care while in the shower.
Unfortunately, I had cut off a good portion of my hair prior to using this product. If I had used this first, I would have been able to keep my hair. After one use of this, my hair has substantially less breakage and is no longer fragile. It is a miracle. I can't wait to use it again.
I wish I had bought it from Follica, as I have always had great service from this site, and I would highly recommend that everyone else buy it here. I couldn't even wait another day to use this stuff, so I had to run and buy it today. This stuff has truly saved my hair (and my confidence in my appearance), and although it does cost a lot for a few ounces, I would pay many, many times that amount of money for it (if I had that kind of money, lol) because it is worth it.Oct 10, 2010Melissa C. / USHAIR TYPEAuburn / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Excellent Omg Rescue Treatment!This is a SUPERB treatment. I had hair down to my waist, wavy and fine. After chemical damage 2 years ago, I had it cut up to my neck. And spent thousands of dollars on hair treatments in salon, at home etc. Nothing seemed to make much of a difference. I accidentally came across this product: This has saved my hair!!! Its soft, manageable, and has started to retain its shine, volume and colour! I would highly recommend everyone to use this, and save yourselves lengthy salon visits and money! Excellent value for money too! This site has been exceptional in delivering this amonngst other products to me, speedily safely and efficiently. All paperwork related to returns exchange ets are also included, done properly. If anything, this product has me hooked, this site will see me return time and again to purchase this even if it was available in my city. Just easier to get online, buy, pay a bit more for shipping(same as taxi costs anyway)and have it delivered to my doorstep. If you have ever suffered damage as a result of chemical treatments and/or keratin treatments, this maybe your elixir! I know its mine. In 3 words: I'm lovin' it :-)Mar 15, 2010Simone

Very Good Product!Ok, I read all the other reviews and first. I just want to say that if your hair has been severely burned like the 1st person mentioned in her review, then yes, you will have to cut those burned hairs off before trying to use this serum. Burned hair is like straw, no moisture whatsoever, no hope of ever regaining moisture, so it must be removed. I bought this product because I had a problem with general everyday split ends from using heating products in my hair on a daily basis. I am a black woman with type 3a/b hair(very curly/kinky). The product specifically tells you to use it in conjunction with a conditioner. I suggest doing a deep conditioning(15-25 minute conditioning with a plastic cap) after using this product on your hair because it will feel very dry after application. The results are amazing. I instantly noticed that very little hair was coming out when I combed it and the hairs have better elasticity. I also noticed a better, smoother result when using the curling iron in my hair. This product is not the "cure" for split ends. It basically coats the hair, allowing your hair to continue to grow while you slowly clip off the damaged ends a little at a time, instead of cutting off mass amounts of hair to try to get above the damaged area.Mar 6, 2010Nicole

Was A Little Disappointed.....I recently added highlights to my hair, resulting in seriously burned/damaged hair. I mean the ends looked like I had singed the tip with a lighter. I have long hair and was on the verge of tears thinking I was going to have to chop a considerable amount off to do away with the damage. So I ordered this product, hoping it would truly help "helplessly damaged hair". I applied the product as was told to, and left it on about 10 min and got the same results as I do when I deep condition it. It did make the hair not over processed softer and more manageable... didn't do anything for the hair that was damaged. I have done my hair twice with this product with no noticeable results. Will keep trying, as I have bought the stuff, might as well use it, and will update if the condition improves. I give it average ratings as I imagine it would have made my hair, prior to the highlights, soft and shiny as promised... I guess my hair is past "helplessly damaged".Feb 22, 2010Kassie / Maysville, GA USA

Nothing Short Of Miracle!This was a miracle rescuer for my hair. I got my hair chemically straightened which went terribly wrong, and my normally healthy semi-straight hair was super-dry, breaking, and getting tangled helplessly. I've tried everything, including biweekly salon treatment as well as Biolage super hydrating balm, John Freida overnight repair serum, etc. One application of Emergencee fixed my hair back to normal - all the dryness went away and it no longer tangled! Miracle! My hair is back to my normal, and I use this every week (as opposed to every other week as recommended) and am very happy with it - I bought 2 more bottles to last me for a long time! I've used it weekly for 3 weeks now, and my hair is back to its healthy self, and I still have more than 2/3 of bottle left, but I would never run out of this ever! Buy this, you won't regret it, and it's worth every penny.Feb 2, 2010Seo

This Was My Last Hope And It Worked Wonders!My hair was suffering from being overprocessed and I was to the point where I was gonna just cut it all off....until I found this product. It truly did improve the condition of my hair upon the very first use. I color my hair about every 9 weeks and I straighten it with a flat iron every other day. My hair was beginning to break off and feel very dry and brittle. This was my last hope and it worked wonders. All of the Nexxus line is wonderful, I began using the Luxury Moisturizing shampoo and Humectress conditioner as well as Keraphix. I also use the Humectress Luxe conditoning spray and Heat Protexx before I use my flat iron. If your hair is damaged, please dont cut you hair off and start over, use this it works!!!!!!!!!!! It made my hair super shiny and very healthy again!!!!Jan 14, 2009Anonymous / Calvin, Ky

Nexxus EmergenceeI just have to say this is the most amazing product I have ever used. If you have fine hair that always Knots and tangles you need to try this. I would always have a lot of hair in drain after shampooing and using conditioner and I have tried so many different kinds of conditioner but it did not matter, my fine hair knotted badly and nothing worked. I tried " Nexxus Emergencee " and this is best stuff I have ever used, wish that I would of tried this stuff much sooner, it is amazing. I will always keep a bottle of this in my shower and a bottle to travel with, I will not be without it, that is how good this stuff is, but do not take my word for it, try it and see for yourself, you will not want to ever be without it either. What I like now is that there is no more wads of hair in drain and I can comb my hair with no problems now, I am honestly amazed.Dec 5, 2008Rick / USA

New eBook on Enterprise API Best Practices
SOA Software Offers a Proven Approach to Building Successful Enterprise APIs
By: Xenia von Wedel
Nov. 28, 2012 11:47 AM
SOA Software, a provider of Enterprise API Management and SOA Governance solutions, published a new eBook, Building Successful APIs. The eBook, which is available for immediate free download, provides a thorough look at what it takes to succeed with APIs in a large enterprise. SOA Software wrote and published the eBook based on its experience working with global corporations that are facing a transformation of IT requirements from rapidly evolving business alliances and mobile device proliferation.
According to Paolo Malinverno, Gartner Research VP, "The use of Web APIs is increasing even more, generally supporting new sales channels through mobile applications. This has made API management more popular as a new way of informing and selling to end customers. In particular, Type A organizations keen on exploring new ways to connect with their customers increasingly equate a Web channel to a new business opportunity; for them, having good API management is initially just a way of opening a new opportunity, and evolves into an advanced way of collecting customer behavior data." [i]
The need to create new revenue streams and integrate with an ever-shifting set of partners and applications, especially in this mobile era, puts pressure on IT to create and manage APIs. Daniel Sholler, Gartner Research VP, puts the challenge in perspective: "RESTful APIs help organizations integrate with partners and suppliers, lower costs, speed execution and reach new markets. Architects and application managers must follow good designs and best practices to create effective APIs," he said. [ii]
"The eBook addresses an information gap in how to build successful APIs," said Roberto Medrano, Executive Vice President, SOA Software. "While there are some resources for people developing consumer-facing APIs, enterprises require a different approach and more information to produce APIs.
This book gives them much-needed information about building APIs in the enterprise context."
The eBook shares proven best practices that enable businesses to realize success from APIs and ensure appropriate security and system management or running up unsustainable costs. Taking a holistic, integrated approach, it blends technology and business-level issues that affect API development.
The eBook covers the following conceptual topics:
The eBook can be downloaded at soa.com.
Enabling the API Economy
The SOA Software Enterprise API Platform is the first solution to address enterprise requirements across the entire API lifecycle, with planning, development, runtime and community management capabilities. The Enterprise API Platform provides a rich set of API Management capabilities to ensure the security, performance and availability of APIs, together with a social developer community solution for promoting and supporting the APIs and driving developer adoption. It provides end-to-end management of the API lifecycle, helping you make sure that you build the right APIs, build them the right way, and make sure that they are behaving correctly. The Enterprise API Platform is available as an on-premise software solution, as-a-service, via an Open developer community as-a-service, or using a combination of any of these options. For example, a customer could choose to run the lifecycle management components of the solution as on-premises software, use the commercial PaaS offering to host and manage their APIs, and federate with the Open developer community to publish their public APIs to an established group of App developers.

A Framework for Assessing the Systemic Risk of Major Financial Institutions

Bank for International Settlements (BIS)
May 1, 2009
Journal of Banking and Finance, Vol. 33, No. 11, pp. 2036–2049, November 2009
BIS Working Paper No. 281
PBCSF-NIFR Research Paper No. 08-01
In this paper we propose a framework for measuring and stress testing the systemic risk for a group of major financial institutions. The systemic risk is measured by the price of insurance against financial distresses, which is based on ex ante measures of default probabilities of individual banks and forecasted asset return correlations. Importantly, using realized correlations estimated from high-frequency equity return data can significantly improve the accuracy of forecasted correlations. In addition, our stress testing methodology, as an integrated micro-macro model, takes into account dynamic linkages between the health of major US banks and the macro-financial condition. Our results suggest that the insurance premium to protect against losses that equal or exceed 15% of total liabilities of 12 major US financial firms stands at 110 billion in March 2008 and has a projected upper bound of 250 billion in July 2008.
Our methodology is closely related to but in sharp contrast with the Financial Stability Assessment Program (FSAP) conducted by IMF in recent years, the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (SCAP) implemented by the U.S. regulatory authorities earlier this year, and the European-wide stress testing program sanctioned by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS). These supervisory stress testing programs are primarily based on confidential banking information and adopt the historical stress scenarios as adverse as in the Great Depression era. In contrast, we rely on public banking information from the financial markets and use the statistical bootstrapping method to consistently assess the downside extreme outcomes. Therefore our approach is more applicable by the private sector in measuring and managing the systemic risk exposures of large complex banking institutions.
The concept of market-based stress testing and systemic risk assessment is an extension of the original idea by Merton and Perold (1993) that the capital of financial institutions is a risk-neutral concept reflected in current asset prices. A¨ıt-Sahalia and Lo (2000) regard value-at-risk (VaR) as inherently a risk-adjusted quantity implied by financial markets. A recent paper by Heaton, Lucas, and McDonald (2008) explicitly argues that capital reserve is a risk-neutral measurement.

Body image has certainly been a hot-button issue for me. I used to feel alienated from my physical body, angry at its stubborn resistance to fit society's mold. I felt I took up too much space, that my belly stuck out, and that my clothes accentuated every line that wasn't perfectly flat. It was only after I took up a regular yoga practice that I realized it wasn't my body but my body image that was totally distortedand that this skewed perspective was causing me to harbor resentment toward my body. My practice taught me to see my body the way it really was (rather than simply feeling fat when I was unhappy and thin when I was happy) and even to accept its quirks, like the way my ankles crack in yoga class or how my flat feet dont fit into many kinds of shoes.
As the years go on, my sense of confidence continues to grow, and a new sense of ease has spilled over into how I walk, stand, and sit. My relationship to my body has transformed from adversarial to lovingand I owe a lot of this change to yoga.
According to Tomi-Ann Roberts, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology at Colorado College who specializes in the topic, body image is defined as "the extent to which your physical self-concept plays a role in your self-esteem." Research by Roberts and others has shown that body image is the top predictor of self-esteemif you feel good about your physical self, you're likely to have a strong sense of self-worth. Anyone who has left yoga class feeling happy and limber knows experientially that yoga can help a person feel good about his or her physical self. But how does it create this effect?
For one thing, the body simply feels better after physical exercise. Research has shown that people who exercise moderately have a more positive body image, and many of us know from experience that simply getting on the mat and moving around makes us feel good. Muscles stretch, and tight areas loosen up. After a vinyasa class, we might even get a natural high from endorphins. With a regular yoga practice, we not only notice physical changes (greater strength, increased stamina and mobility), we also begin to feel more connected to our body.
After practicing regularly for some time, many people develop a new appreciation for the body. Some find that the pounds drop off, the skin glows, and the eyes become luminous. Others enjoy a subtler transformation: They notice that their every move is imbued with greater power and grace. Often, the simple increase in physical awarenessfeeling, as you walk down the street, the muscles you worked the day beforeresults in an ongoing positive feeling. "I have found that as my practice deepens and my body becomes healthier and stronger, my comfort level and confidence in myself increases," Nashville yoga teacher Katryna M. Wright says. This is a common sentiment among yogis.
Yoga also fosters a more intimate relationship with the body by teaching us how it functions. Experiencing how external rotation lengthens the spine or where the sacrum and ilium come together enhances our appreciation for our body. "I feel more in control of my body, because I have a better understanding of it and the way all the different parts work together," Bass says, describing a realization that came to her after a challenging Ado Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) preparation.
Making Peace with Your Body
Looking in the mirror, it's easy for most of us to see our perceived flaws. But on the mat, there are often no mirrors. If we can go inward and allow our internal voices to quiet down, we can focus on our body, our breath, and the present moment.
Over time, our practice grows. One day, we miraculously hold ourselves up in Sirsasana (Headstand) or balance in Bakasana (Crane Pose). We notice our hips opening more profoundly in Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose). Somehow, we make it through just one more vinyasa when we thought we couldnt possibly do it. These milestones may seem small, but they serve up heaping portions of confidence.
"In yoga, you use your body functionally, and that really gives you a great sense of accomplishment," says Hara Estroff Marano, author of Style Is Not a Size (Bantam, 1991) and creator of the above-mentioned Psychology Today study on body image. The sense of achievement is nice, but far more valuable is the intimate relationship with the body that these achievements represent. And as we learn to relate to the body in this new way, we often grow more accepting of itmaybe even grateful for it. "Acceptance to me means being in an ongoing process with our bodies and how we feel about them, rather than looking at an end result," Sell says.
Of course, it's easy to feel pleased with our body when it is improving or getting stronger. But through an emphasis on acceptance, yoga teaches us to embrace both our strengths and our deficiencies. For instance, Lynn Bass has open hips but tight shoulders. By acknowledging rather than resisting her limitations, she has found more joy in her practice. "When I first started practicing, I hated when we would do anything that required my shoulders to be open," she says. "Then I realized that there were some poses I could do that others struggled with. That helped me to appreciate what my body can do and not get as frustrated over what it can't do." As we come to accept our limitations on the mat, we often realize that we can also accept the limitations of our physical appearance: When we can acknowledge, for instance, that our shoulders are tighter than most and that we may never be able to master certain poses as a result, we might also begin to accept that our thighs are larger than societys ideal.
The process of establishing a healthy relationship with our body also means accepting the changes that come with age or when we get sick or injured. Many people with chronic pain, injuries, or disease report that yoga helps them make peace with their physical experience and limitations. Three years ago, Shirley Spencer was injured in a commercial truck accident that left her with herniated disks in her neck. Although it is sometimes painful to do yoga, she recently began practicing it."It is making a difference in the functionality of my body," she says, "and I am beginning to be at home in it again."
Seeing Yourself Clearly
Yoga works to change our perceptions of our appearance by shifting our vision of ourselves from the third person (seeing ourselves as we think others see us) to the first person. And that's a good thing. "Women who view themselves from an outsider's perspective have a lot of negative consequencesfeelings of shame, eating disorders, feelings of anxiety, loss of interest in sex," Roberts says. Her most recent study found that women in particular are prone to self-objectification.
In that study, both male and female subjects took a math test in front of a full-length mirror, wearing either a sweater or a bathing suit. Roberts found that while the men did about the same on the test regardless of their attire, the women had significantly lower math scores on tests taken while they were wearing swimsuits. According to Roberts's interpretation, the study shows that in front of a mirror, the women saw themselves as others might see them and became distracted by that image.
How does yoga shift us out of this painful tendency? It begins by encouraging the quiet consciousness that focuses on the spread of the toes instead of how we look in our yoga outfit. And, having taught us to be alert to our own strengths and weaknesses, yoga gives us permission, even insists, that we honor our bodiesthat we come down from Sirsasana when our neck aches or take Balasana (Child's Pose) when our legs are wobbling through a vinyasano matter what the rest of the class is doing. Sometimes yoga even demands that we question authority so as not to injure ourselves; it shows us that there are moments when it's appropriate to disregard our teacher's instruction in order to honor our particular body. In other words, yoga is an amazing training ground for learning how to disregard unnecessary or harmful social pressures and expectations.
Learning to honor our own instincts, needs, and internal messages is a subtle and sometimes challenging process, but it pays big dividends: By loosening the grip of the egocentric self, we cultivate an experience of the transcendent Self. As a culture, we spend an inordinate amount of time on physical self-improvement: Our nails are painted, our bodies waxed, our wrinkles Botoxed away. All of this can make for a society of well-groomed yet self-absorbed citizens. Through yoga, we learn to loosen our intense attachment to how we look, as we learn that we are not our body. We practice not identifying with our outward appearance so deeplyan exercise that can be a great gift for those who are chronically preoccupied with thoughts of shame and anxiety about their body.
We learn that happinesseven happiness about how we feel about our bodylies within, if we can just quiet down for a moment and find it. Losing the preoccupation with how we look, even for a moment, allows us to experience fully the miracle of the human body rather than feel burdened by it. Instead of seeing fat thighs or sagging breasts, we can see the divine within ourselvesand do the same with others we meet. "We are magnificent works of art, a living, breathing miracle," says Stan Dale, founder of the Human Awareness Institute in Foster City, California, which conducts workshops on intimacy and body awareness. "Want to see a miracle? Just take a deep breath."
While the culture of desire encourages us to feel deprived and want more, yoga practice teaches us to feel satisfied, joyful, and grateful for what we do have and who we, in fact, already are. The only risk of adopting this perspective, Dale says, is that "if we loved the way we looked, our economy would collapse."
At Home in the Self
One happy casualty of releasing this preoccupation is the hopeless pursuit of perfection. A healthy body is a true blessing, but healthy is not the same as perfect. No matter how advanced your practice is, yoga is just thata practice. We can always learn harder poses or hold them longer. The longer we practice, the more yoga teaches us that there really is no point in expecting perfection, in our practice or in our body.
Take the example of Carolyn Leech, who lives in Naperville, Illinois. Yoga class provided her with a space in which to slowly accept what she perceived as her body's flaws. Taking off her shoes and sharing her "imperfect toes" with the class was a first step. Then came switching from sweatpants to shorts, thereby uncovering the scar on her knee from a long-ago surgery but also leaving her freer "to think about the alignment of my knee in Virabhadrasana [Warrior Pose]," she says. Next she talked herself into wearing a sleeveless shirt, despite the self-consciousness she felt because doing so revealed a scar from a cancer biopsy done months earlier. The journey has led her to accept her body, imperfections and all, in a way she had not previously found possible.
"I've seen people whose bodies were sick, but their brilliance came through in their eyes and their smiles," says yoga instructor Nischala Joy Devi, who works with people who have life-threatening illnesses like heart disease and cancer.
This underscores the fact that the body does, of course, get sick and injured, and it does eventually die. Fortunately, self-reflection and cultivating flexibility of the mind can help us maintain a healthy mental and spiritual perspective when these things happen, as they inevitably will. This challenging but rewarding practice occurs "when we put the energy into the inner self that never ages or leaves us, no matter how old, twisted, injured, or decrepit our bodies become," Devi says.
After a decade of practicing yoga, I have finally learned that there are many ways to feel goodand that most of them are not based on how I look. Surely the current worldwide yoga boom is driven, at least in some part, by a hunger to find a sense of meaning and authenticity in our consumer culture. If so, perhaps one of the by-products of this boom will be a collective cry: "Stop the madness! We are satisfied with who we are!"
Perhaps a new culture based on physical and psychoemotional health will even emerge one day. "I think that the trend in yoga will bring us away from the myth of the perfection of the body," Devi says, "into the reality that we are all divine spiritsand to me, that is the real essence of yoga."
For those who find themselves plagued by body issues, acceptance is really the final frontier. And we learn this kind of acceptance and contentment every day when we go inward in a forward bend or totally let go in Savasana (Corpse Pose).
"That's why daily practice is so important," reminds Annie Carpenter, a yoga instructor in Santa Monica, California, who has worked with people suffering from eating disorders. "It doesn't matter that we learn a big lesson once; it matters that we learn the small lessons day after day for an entire lifetime." Lynn Bass agrees. "Now, when I do poses that used to be challenging for me," she says, "I have an extra special appreciation for my body and what it can do."
Does yoga fuel the body-image blues?
Yes, in subtle ways.
While yoga promotes acceptance of the body most of the time, practicing yoga in America isn't a cure-all for the body-image blues. In fact, in our fitness-crazed, perfection-minded society, the modern yoga industry can actually contribute to our body-image woes.
Yoga has become big business in America, as teachers, studio owners, retreat centers, clothing and prop makers, publishers, and others try to make a living off the practice. One consequence of the yoga boom: "We are sold the same things as the rest of Americayou can be thinner and therefore happier, have better abs, practice yoga for a better butt," author Christina Sell says. "In this consumer culture, we are even taught to lust after spiritual enlightenment."
Of course, yoga is in fact a tremendous physical activity; if you practice it regularly, your body will become toned and capable of more advanced poses. But if this is the sole reason you practice, then you are only encouraging self-consciousness. When you focus your attention on your appearance, you set yourself up for disappointment and judgment when you don't meet your own expectations.
Schools that emphasize perfect alignment over all else can also make it hard for us to feel good about our body.
If we abandon the idea of perfection, however, we can overcome the tyranny of alignment and begin to develop acceptance. "Many people practice with the false intention of achieving the perfect pose," says yoga teacher Annie Carpenter, who has known students to go home and practice in front of the mirror until they "get it right." Carpenter tells her students to instead find their perfect pose by observing what they think their body needs and doing that.
We yogis don't have to let these potential pitfalls set us back. The good news is that yoga, when practiced with awareness, offers the perfect means to recognize and confront modern stereotypes and find a peaceful way of relating to our body by forging our own path on the mat.

"I wasn't sure if I was going to keep these when I got them because they are not real leather and the heel is rubber.....BUT, they look fantastic and are super comfortable. They are a little big (wide and long), I ordered a 10 but could have gone with a 9.5. I just wear thick socks and I'm fine. I get tons of compliments on these so I'm definitely keeping them. They have a very "crisp" look to them."

Great Quality
"At first I thought these boots were too small. They were a bit more snug than I usually prefer. But I was in a rush and ran out while wearing them, and after wearing them for a day they fit perfectly. I guess the leather just had to adjust a little bit. Great fit, great comfort, love them!"

"These boots are great. I have recently developed some foot/ankle problems and cannot wear heels anymore. I also have a wide claf, about 15 inches, and these boots do fit. They are snug, but the elastic on the sides really stretch far. They fit over tights and skinny jeans and are VERY COMFY!"

Over the past 20 years more children are participating in organized and recreational athletics. With so many young athletes playing sports, it's no wonder injuries are common. Half of all sports medicine injuries in children and teens are from overuse. The following is information from the American Academy of Pediatrics about overuse injuries and injury prevention tips.
An overuse injury is damage to a bone, muscle, ligament, or tendon due to repetitive stress without allowing time for the body to heal. Shin splints are an example of an overuse injury.
The following are the 4 stages of overuse injuries:
Children and teens are at increased risk for overuse injuries because growing bones are less resilient to stress. Also, young athletes may not know that certain symptoms are signs of overuse (for example, worsening shoulder pain in swimmers). If you think your child has an overuse injury, talk with your child's doctor. A treatment plan may include making changes in how often and when the athlete plays, controlling pain, and physical therapy.
Athletes should stay away from excessive training programs that could be harmful. The following are guidelines to help prevent overuse injuries by promoting a healthy balance of activities.
Athletes should have a preparticipation physical evaluation (PPE) to make sure they are ready to safely begin the sport. The best time for a PPE is about 4 to 6 weeks before the beginning of the season. Athletes also should see their doctors for regular health well child checkups.
Athletes should maintain a good fitness level during the season and offseason. Preseason training should allow time for general conditioning and sportspecific conditioning. Also important are proper warmup and cooldown exercises.
Athletes should avoid specializing in one sport before they reach puberty. Child "superstars" are often injured or burned out prior to college. Children should be encouraged to try a variety of sports.
Participation in a particular sport should be limited to 5 days per week.
Athletes should sign up for one team and one sport per season.
Athletes should take at least 1 day off per week from organized activity to recover physically and mentally.
Athletes should take a combined 2 to 3 months off per year from a specific sport (may be divided throughout the year [that is, 1 out of every 6 months off ]).
Increases in weekly training time, mileage, or repetitions should be no more than 10% per week. For example, if running 10 miles this week, increase to 11 miles the next week.
Crosstrain. Athletes should vary their endurance workouts to include multiple different activities like swimming, biking, or elliptical trainers.
Perform sportspecific drills in different ways. For example, running in a swimming pool instead of only running on the road.
Burnout (overtraining syndrome) includes mental, physical, and hormonal changes that can affect performance. To help prevent burnout in your child, follow the guidelines in this handout. Other suggestions include
Keep your child's practice fun and ageappropriate.
Focus on your child's overall wellness, and teach them how to listen for problems with their bodies.
Parents: Your goal should be to promote a wellrounded athlete who can enjoy regular physical activity for a lifetime.

I am wondering if anyone knows of some "fun" helps to learn NT Greek vocabulary, at least beginning vocabulary. Obviously, I have flash cards. But I'm tired of making flash cards. What I was thinking more along the lines of is something such as Koine Greek word search puzzles or crossword puzzles (I do prefer word searches over crosswords). These can be either online or something I can print out (preferably something I could take to work). I found a very basic/beginner's word search puzzle online that someone had made but it contained very few words. I am wondering if a plethora of such NT Greek word search puzzles exist?
I think word search puzzles would be beneficial for a beginner. I know that John Dobson uses word search puzzles for his Hebrew words in "Learn Biblical Hebrew" (yet oddly, doesn't do the same thing for his NT Greek book).
Does anyone have or know of any such "fun helps?" Or am I doomed to use my hand written flash cards for all eternity?
I am getting bored of just learning vocab word after vocab word, flash card after flash card. I know this is the "traditional" way of learning vocab words but this sort of mass memorization I got tired of in college. For me learning NT Greek words should be fun, not boring.

I love the Fourth of July. I love celebrating it. I remember celebrating a July 4 as a very little girl. At the end of World War II because of the war, fireworks were still banned in Southern California. All we had for a fireworks display was a railroad flare my Dad had acquired from somewhere. Dad had to get permission to burn that flare.
We had our family celebration during the day. When it got dark we stood in our back yard and Dad stuck the flare in the end of our homemade pipe clothesline and we watched that railroad flare burn out. I remember the red glare that it made. We beat on some pans and honked our car horns and that was our fireworks display. It got better every year from then on.
As we grew up and I had brothers and sisters and we all got married and had families, our celebrations turned into a real shindig. To us the Fourth of July was the best. We all gathered at our family home and had a barbeque. Complete with hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, soda pop, condiments, baked beans and chocolate cake for dessert.
Followed by our family baseball game. Which I might add, the neighborhood was envious of. The president of the United States had nothing on us. Our baseball games were every bit as great as the Kennedy football games. Every family member played. Including grandmas and any little grandchild that could walk.
The banana tree was first base and a piece of cardboard might be second or third base and so on. We would choose up teams and play a long time until things started to get too serious. Then someone would lighten things up by picking up a base and hiding it or grabbing onto someone's shirttail so they couldn't run.
We would laugh and laugh and then we knew it was time to stop the game. It was time to have homemade ice cream. The day always ended with a big fireworks display.
After my parents passed on and we children scattered to various states, my family continued the tradition by celebrating it at our mountain home, Branwood Pines in Joes Valley. Complete with barbeque and followed by a song fest around our fire pit.
Unhappily we won't be celebrating this year in the mountains because of the drought and water situation. When things get better in the years to come we will more than likely be back at our old stomping grounds at the cabin.
Well, that is my world. Until next time remember: Celebrating the Fourth of July isn't about the place, or who you celebrate it with. It's about what you carry in your heart. The pride and patriotism that we hold dear for these United States. Have a good one.

The quoted Cook's Illustrated article test method seemed confusing or flawed to me The non-risen frozen dough was only allowed to rise for two hours at room temperature. It's no wonder they said the dough was flatter and "slightly tough." It had not been allowed to rise properly. I don't know what the recipe was, but it must have been a recipe for "emergency dough," which isn't very good to start with.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
It is really time that we take a minute to talk about behavior, not mine because I'm hopeless, but yours. Why the heck do we do the things that we do at ball games? Why do we let little things we cannot control get under our skin so bad? Why do we end up embarrassing ourselves with utterly dingy things?
At the recent boys basketball tournament held in Castle Dale for high schools, I watched a lot of games over two days. I thought the play was good and that the refs were doing a pretty good job, at least until Emery played. And then it hit, completely out of the blue, I turned into a fan and no longer was I objective.
Suddenly officials that had been good up until now were all of a sudden biased against my team. These guys were jerks, how could this happen to a team I cared about rather than one of those other ones that I could have cared less about who won or lost. It simply wasn't right. Why did we get the lousy officials?
Did the refs turn lousy or was it simply that I was engaged in this game and I took everything differently? I like to think it was the first rather than the last but I am still not sure but I am not looking for outside opinions.
So what are the options that we as fans and parents have when it comes to sports? What is the proper code of ethics? Does it matter if we are watching or playing? Let's look at some different scenarios that have occurred lately.
First, at a recent Lady Spartan basketball game, a fan from the opposing team let an abominable word slip out of his mouth. Not once, not twice and just maybe more than thrice. And this was at a girl's ball game no less. He was escorted from the facility. Now that is crossing the line. Emery fans would never act this way, right?
On the news lately was the story of little league football game about a father that came out of the stands and tackled the opponent's ball carrier. Another story existed telling about a little league pitcher's father having his son throw at the head of the batter. And another existed of a father pulling a gun on his son's coach. All line crossers. And we would never do the same, right?
And finally, little league football right here in Emery County. At the super bowl, which is the last day of games, coaches handed in their lineups. I could not believe that a team could barely field enough players to play the game. How come this could be? What the heck was going on? Well, it all boiled down to kids ending their season before their team did. I shake my head at that also. I was taught that if you start it, you finish it. There were no other options. Has this rule changed?
It is not easy being a fan, it is not easy being a player, and it is not easy being a coach. Everything comes with rules but there is not enough space or time to right every rule that could ever come up. Nor should we have to. Common sense needs to rule here, act as if your mother or your church leader or the principal was sitting next to you. In some cases, it might take all three.
Cheer for your team, cheer with the cheerleaders like two boys did at the last girl's game, have fun. Yell at the officials if the need occurs, and let me tell you the need does occur, but remember the rule above. Ball games are good for everybody; please do your part to keep it that way.

Much has been written over the past months on maritime counterpiracy operations off the Horn of Africa. Many have questioned the effectiveness of the two major maritime forces in the region. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton recently told the Senate: "The international naval flotilla working to curtail piracy in the western Indian Ocean is failing to solve the problem; the naval ships that have been involved from . . . more than 20 nations just have not been willing to really put themselves out." Clinton continued, "They're happy to patrol, and they're happy to say they are, and then kind of count themselves as part of the Coalition. But when push comes to shove, they're not really producing."
